The coming years are likely to be turbulent due to a myriad of factors or polycrisis, including an escalation in climate extremes, emerging public health threats, weak productivity, increases in ...global economic instability and further weakening in the integrity of global democracy. These formidable challenges are not exogenous to the economy but are in some cases generated by the system itself. They can be overcome, but only with far-reaching changes to global economics. Our current socio-economic paradigm is insufficient for addressing these complex challenges, let alone sustaining human development, well-being and happiness. To support the flourishing of the global population in the age of polycrisis, we need a novel, person-centred and collective paradigm. The brain economy leverages insights from neuroscience to provide a novel way of centralising the human contribution to the economy, how the economy in turn shapes our lives and positive feedbacks between the two. The brain economy is primarily based on Brain Capital, an economic asset integrating brain health and brain skills, the social, emotional, and the diversity of cognitive brain resources of individuals and communities. People with healthy brains are essential to navigate increasingly complex systems. Policies and investments that improve brain health and hence citizens' cognitive functions and boost brain performance can increase productivity, stimulate greater creativity and economic dynamism, utilise often underdeveloped intellectual resources, afford social cohesion, and create a more resilient, adaptable and sustainability-engaged population.

The efficient management of batch processes is critical for modern data-driven organizations, especially within the context of complex data ingestion and processing workflows. This abstract explores ...the essential components and functionalities required to streamline batch job execution within such environments. Firstly, a robust batch management system is essential, providing capabilities for job scheduling, dependency management, and error handling. Such a system orchestrates the execution of batch jobs, ensuring they run in the appropriate sequence and handle dependencies effectively. Additionally, real-time event-driven triggers enable immediate batch job initiation upon file drops, ensuring timely processing of incoming data and swift response to business needs. Conversely, scheduled batch executions provide predictability and automation, allowing organizations to optimize resource utilization and maintain operational efficiency by running batches at predetermined intervals or specific times. Furthermore, the abstract delves into the necessity of a comprehensive configuration setup to support various data formats, transformation requirements, and validation criteria. A rich configuration engine allows for seamless mapping, transformation, and validation of incoming data, enabling flexibility and adaptability to diverse data sources and requirements. It also emphasizes the importance of containerization for batch job execution, ensuring scalability, resource isolation, and efficient utilization of computing resources. Lastly, the provision of job IDs facilitates seamless invocation of batch jobs by external systems, enabling streamlined interaction and integration across different platforms. Together, these components form a cohesive framework for efficient batch job management, empowering organizations to optimize data processing workflows and derive actionable insights from their data assets.

Gatekeeping is one of the media’s central roles in public life: people rely on mediators to transform information about billions of events into a manageable number of media messages. This process ...determines not only which information is selected, but also what the content and nature of messages, such as news, will be. Gatekeeping Theory describes the powerful process through which events are covered by the mass media, explaining how and why certain information either passes through gates or is closed off from media attention. This book is essential for understanding how even single, seemingly trivial gatekeeping decisions can come together to shape an audience’s view of the world, and illustrates what is at stake in the process.

"More than a half century ago David Manning White watched newspaper editors pick wire stories for publication and called it ‘gatekeeping’—stories in or out. Today, scholars Pamela Shoemaker and Tim Vos point out, we use gatekeeping to explain how we make choices in many contexts and how our choices shape the cognitive worlds in which we all live. This excellent book shows that it not as simple as it looks."— Donald L. Shaw , University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"Understanding the origins of the news reports and information available from an ever growing array of media is vital for citizens, communication professionals and scholars. Gatekeeping Theory provides a comprehensive examination of the processes involved in the construction of these media agendas."— Maxwell McCombs , University of Texas at Austin
"Shoemaker and Vos go deep into the historical roots of one of our field’s central concepts, integrate a broad collection of theoretical dimensions, and ultimately bring us a fresh vision of gatekeeping. This book should be required reading for journalism scholars who want to build a grounding in our field and engage in theoretical conversations for the future."— Dan Berkowitz , University of Iowa
"The gatekeeping process has compelled scholarly attention since its introduction, providing an intuitive thread through the many factors shaping media.
