In this chapter, Marisol Keller sheds the light on subjectivities and living realities of gig workers that work digital care platforms. She connects her autoethnographic empirical data with idea platform urbanism understanding platforms as critical infrastructures in cities. Her findings present how navigate urban spaces rhythms demanded by thereby (re)negotiate power imbalances are deliberatel...

In this paper, a novel approach for ranking fuzzy numbers based on the angle measure is introduced. Several left and right spreads at each chosen levels of fuzzy numbers is used to determine center of mass points(CMPs) and then, the angels between the CMPs and the horizontal axis is calculated. The total angle is determined by averaging the computed angles and finally, the novel method is compa...

Can biology students without programming skills solve problems that require computational solutions? They can if they learn to cooperate effectively with computer science students. The goal of the in-concert teaching approach is to introduce biology students to computational thinking by engaging them in collaborative projects structured around the software development process. Our approach emph...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used in cell-based therapy in various disease conditions such as graft-versus-host and heart diseases, osteogenesis imperfecta, and spinal cord injuries, and the results have been encouraging. However, as MSC therapy gains popularity among practitioners and researchers, there have been reports on the adverse effects of MSCs especially in the context of tu...

In classical optimization it is assumed that full information about the problem to be solved is given. This, in particular, includes that all data are at hand. The real world may not be so “nice” to optimizers. Some problem constraints may not be known, the data may be corrupted, or some data may not be available at the moments when decisions have to be made. The last issue is the subject of on...
