Can your job change your personality?While traditionally personality has been considered fixed and stable, recent thinking indicates that this is not the case. Personality can be changed by various work and vocational experiences, such as employment conditions, career roles, job characteristics and training or interventions.Drawing on a wide array of research in the field, Wang and Wu provide a conceptual overview on how personality can be changed at work by societal, organ...

Open-source software supply chains wield significant influence in the software industry, drawing substantial interest from enterprises, researchers, and policymakers. Leveraging third-party libraries to build software applications is a common practice aimed at cost savings and software quality enhancement. However, heavy reliance on external libraries often leads to a state of “dependency hell”, marked by issues like incompatibilities, conflicting versions, bloated dependencies, and the in...

This book is an exploration of the concept of in-betweenness, as it occurs within the process of moving between the author’s root culture and adopted culture, from her perspective as an immigrant creative arts therapist. Through the critical autoethnographic voice and a/r/tographic inquiry, she introduces a unique exploration site within the process of Guqin-making, an ancient Chinese art form. Through the creation of images and poetry, and through Guqin-making and music-...

This book provides a detailed and practical guide to the morphological diagnosis of humoral cells using both light and electron microscopy. Electron microscopy compensates for the limited resolution of conventional examinations and plays a critical role in identifying tumors and resolving diagnostically challenging cases. Beginning with fundamental cell biology, the book analyzes cellular structures and ultrastructural features under electron microscopy and compares them with their counter...

This SpringerBrief presents research results on QoE management schemes for mobile services, including user services, and resource allocation. Along with a review of the research literature, it offers a data-driven architecture for personalized QoE management in wireless networks. The primary focus is on introducing efficient personalized character extraction mechanisms, e.g., context-aware Bayesian graph model, and cooperative QoE management mechanisms. Moreover, in order to demonstrate in...

For over two millennia, the complexities of elementary geometry have challenged learners, burdened by the intricacies of auxiliary graphics and cumbersome calculations. Inspired by Leibniz's query, this book introduces a groundbreaking method: point geometry. By operating directly on points, it integrates the strengths of coordinate, vector, and mass point methods, simplifying operations and problem-solving.Central to this method is the identity approach, which streamlines complex ...
