evaluating and strengthening urban safety and sustainability.Moving beyond theory, the book integrates global best practices and China's unique governance experience to develop a practical, multidimensional evaluation system. It assesses urban resilience across five critical dimensions: the economy, society, infrastructure, ecology, and the increasingly vital domain of information. The study details concrete applications ranging from metropolises to small and medium-sized cities and highlights the use of cutting-edge technologies, such as the digital twin and satellite remote sensing. Crucially, the book translates evaluations into actionable governance strategies and proposes measures for integrated disaster management, emergency resource planning, and technology-driven resilience building. In doing so, it positions China's approach within the context of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).This book is essential reading for urban planners, policymakers, disaster management professionals, and scholars of urban studies, sustainability, and public administration. It is also highly relevant for government officials, NGO practitioners, and infrastructure developers who are invested in creating safer, more adaptable cities worldwide.

Crowdfunding has gained increasing attention from regulators and policymakers worldwide, yet responses have varied due to its hybrid position between…
direct and intermediated finance, diverse business models, and limited evidence on market failures that would justify regulatory intervention. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of how market- and regulatory-based mechanisms of investor protection interact in the crowdfunding sector and proposes a risk-based regulatory framework. It compares financial-return crowdfunding to traditional finance actors, examines how information asymmetry is addressed through voluntary disclosure, issuer signalling, and platform gatekeeping, and explores the economic functions of self-regulatory frameworks adopted by crowdfunding associations in Europe. The book then turns to the role of law in addressing residual risks and accommodating the re-intermediation roles of platforms. Finally, it presents empirical evidence on the effects of the UK&’s bespoke crowdfunding regulation on market outcomes. This book will appeal to scholars and students in law, economics, and finance, as well as to regulators and policymakers seeking a deeper understanding of crowdfunding markets and their regulation.

Studying mine-drainage works of a medieval principality living through times of war, social turmoil, and land reclamation, this book examines…
the relation between political power and mineral wealth. It argues that mine-drainage works in Monte Calisio, Trento emerged when violent economic warfare within the upper class created profit horizons that capital seized in the subsoil of the principality. From that moment forward, war against hydrogeological conditions justified the existence of private mining capital in the principality. This book shows that hegemonic powers striving to manage mineral wealth failed to monopolize the forces of economic change that sustained their ground as these forces shifted profit relations. Increased mining rents and profits placed a heavy burden on Prince Bishop Wanga, leading to explosive contradictions concealed in the rise of private mine-drainage works. The book offers an illuminating interpretation of the role mining played in the rise and fall of European resource hegemonies.

theoretical frameworks and practical applications. This resource offers a practical and detailed exploration of psychometric principles, encompassing both classical test theory (CTT)-based item analysis and item response theory (IRT), specifically focusing on the one-parameter model (Rasch model) for test equating. By considering CTT and the more sophisticated Rasch model, the book provides a comprehensive pathway to enhanced measurement accuracy and efficiency in the human sciences. It aims to empower readers with the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of test equating, item bank creation, and the implementation of computerized adaptive testing (CAT). It provides historical context for these methodologies and outlines prospects for Rasch research, emphasizing the importance of establishing a common scale for measuring ability.A significant contribution is the introduction of Rasch-GZ, a cutting-edge software developed during the COVID-19 pandemic that incorporates AI-driven assistance and bilingual support, potentially streamlining the calibration process of items within an item bank. The book thoroughly reviews fundamental concepts such as item difficulty and discrimination, ensuring readers grasp the theoretical underpinnings of both CTT and IRT. It delves into various test equating techniques, including Common Item Linking and potentially Common Subject Linking, crucial for maintaining invariance across different test forms within a Standardized Examination. Real-world examples with detailed interpretations serve as a step-by-step guide to these procedures, often relying on anchor items. While implicitly addressing the concept of the norm in the context of standardized examination interpretation, the resource primarily focuses on the application of psychometric software. Access to the student version of Rasch-GZ is provided through code, alongside supplementary video tutorials, facilitating hands-on learning and software mastery.This book could be used by practitioners in the fields of applied linguistics, applied psychology, language testing, education management, and researchers working on language testing methods.

This book offers a thought-provoking defence of social science – and particularly the discipline of sociology – and its relevance…
for 21st-century challenges to democratic societies.The author shows how social science holds a unique and critical role: namely, to act as modernity’s critical conscience by scrutinizing power relations and unmasking attempts to trivialize social reality. They do so by revisiting several classic texts in social science, demonstrating their timeless relevance for understanding society and the role of knowledge, and relating them to contemporary issues and debates. Although often depicted as having limitations compared to "hard" sciences, the book argues that the methodologies used in social science enables it to act as modernity’s critical conscience by embracing the essential qualitative and critical view that is its true essence. Contemporary calls for making social science relevant to society should be met by staying true to this approach and thus remain relevant rather than attempting to become relevant. In this way, social science can contribute to countering political polarization, "knowledge resistance," trivialization, and other contemporary threats to democratic society, with the author ultimately advocating for a revitalization and institutionalization of social science’s mechanisms for self-reflection to the broader and deeper benefit of society.A beautifully written, wide-ranging, and appealing explanation of what the social sciences, and sociology in particular, could, and should be, it will be of equal interest to professors and graduate students as to undergraduate students studying introductory modules to sociology.
