• Sommario/riassunto: The book's focus is the hegemonic role of so-called modernist, Western epistemology that spread in the wake of colonialism and the capitalist economic system, and its exclusion and othering of other epistemologies. Through a series of case studies the book discusses how the domination of Western epistemology has had a major impact on the epistemological foundation of the education systems across the globe.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book covers various cutting-edge computing technologies and their applications over data. It discusses in-depth knowledge on big data and cloud computing, quantum computing, cognitive computing, ; and computational biology with respect to different kinds of data analysis and applications. In this book, authors describe some interesting models in the cloud, quantum, cognitive, and computational biology domains that provide some useful impact on intelligent data (emotional, image, etc.) analysis. They also explain how these computing technologies based data analysis approaches used for various real-life applications. The book will be beneficial for readers working in this area.
