Outlook 295 ABBREVIATIONS 297 Authors 299 330 $aTransnational organized crime interferes with the everyday lives of more and more people - and represents a serious threat to democracy. By now, organized crime has become an inherent feature of economic globalization, and the fine line between the legal and illegal operation of business networks is blurred. Additionally, few experts could claim to have comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the laws and regulations governing the international flow of trade, and hence of the borderline towards criminal transactions. This book offers contributions from 12 countries around the world authored by 25 experts from a wide range of academic disciplines, representatives from civil society organizations and private industry, journalists, as well as activists. Recognizing the complexity of the issue, this publication provides a cross cultural and multi-disciplinary analysis of transnational organized crime including a historical approach from different regional and cultural contexts.

Vielschichtigkeit des Problems und die Notwendigkeit umfassenderer Ansa?tze.« Christian Patz, Portal fu?r Politikwissenschaft, 09.04.2015 »Es ist die nu?chterne, wissenschaftliche Analyse und ihre Sprache, die die Problematik so eindringlich pra?sentiert und beweist, dass die Organisierte Kriminalita?t weltweit keine marginale Erscheinung ist und konsequentes, gemeinsames Handeln erfordert - auch in Deutschland.« Europa?ische Sicherheit & Technik, 3 (2014) »Das Buch bietet einen guten Einstieg in die Thematik und liest sich sehr abwechslungsreich.« Alexander Kamprad,

The topics covered in this volume include tumor and infection modeling; dynamics of co-infections; epidemic models on networks; aspects of blood circulation modeling; multidimensional modeling approach via time-frequency analysis and Edge Based Compartmental Model; and more. This book builds upon the tradition of the previous BIOMAT volumes to foster interdisciplinary research in mathematical biology for students, researchers, and professionals. Held every year since 2001, the BIOMAT International Symposium gathers together, in a single conference, researchers from Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and affine fields to promote the interdisciplinary exchange of results, ideas and techniques, promoting truly international cooperation for problem discussion. The 2019 edition of BIOMAT International Symposium received contributions by authors from 13 countries: Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, India, Italy, Russia, Senegal, Serbia, United Kingdom and the USA. Selected papers presented at the 2017 and 2018 editions of this Symposium were also published by Springer, in the volumes "Trends in Biomathematics: Modeling, Optimization and Computational Problems" (978-3-319-91091-8) and "Trends in Biomathematics: Mathematical Modeling for Health, Harvesting, and Population Dynamics" (978-3-030-23432-4). 606 $aBiomathematics 606 $aDifferential equations 606 $aDifferential equations, Partial 606 $aNeural networks (Computer science) 606 $aBioinformatics 606 $aMathematical and Computational Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31000 606 $aOrdinary Differential Equations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12147 606 $aPartial Differential Equations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12155 606 $aMathematical Models of Cognitive Processes and Neural Networks$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13100 606 $aComputational Biology/Bioinformatics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23050 615 0$aBiomathematics. 615 0$aDifferential equations. 615 0$aDifferential equations, Partial. 615 0$aNeural networks (Computer science) 615 0$aBioinformatics. 615 14$aMathematical and Computational Biology. 615 24$aOrdinary Differential Equations. 615 24$aPartial Differential Equations. 615 24$aMathematical Models of Cognitive Processes and Neural Networks. 615 24$aComputational Biology/Bioinformatics. 676 $a570.151 676 $a570.285 702 $aMondaini$b Rubem P.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484431903321 996 $aTrends in Biomathematics: Modeling Cells, Flows, Epidemics, and the Environment$92379883 997 $aUNINA
