Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

COVID-19 and European Banking Performance : Resilience, Recovery and Sustainability
The monograph presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on European banking, both at a macro and a micro level.It analyses the impact of the pandemic on bank stability, performance and credit policies, as well as their strategic adjustments to the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.The initial chapters analyze the various governmental responses to the pandemic.Topics of discussion include the scale and scope of the wide range of public policies undertaken to mitigate the consequences of the crisis, and their efficiency in limiting the negative impact of the pandemic on the economy.The results suggest that the extensive public interventions have been largely successful in averting the possible disastrous consequences for the financial sector on a macro level.On a micro level, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the restructuring and recovery of the banking industry started after the 2008 crisis which has had a significant impact on economies around the world, arguably leading to a negative long-lasting effect on sustainable development.To examine this, the book focuses on the impact of the pandemic on bank lending policies, bank stability and performance, and on competitive position of the banks vis a vis the FinTech sector.Offering a thorough overview of the issues that banks will have to face as a consequence of pandemic related macroeconomic and industry adjustments, the book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and students of banking and finance as well as banking specialists concerned with the impact of crises on financial markets, risks and resilience.

Do security bouncers become security guards at 17 years old?
In most places, individuals must be at least 18 years old to become licensed security guards. This age requirement is in place to ensure that individuals have the maturity and responsibility needed for the job. While some establishments may hire individuals as security bouncers at 17 years old for specific roles, they would not be considered licensed security guards until they meet the legal age requirement.
-
Can security bouncers be 17 years old?
In most places, the legal age requirement to work as a security bouncer is 18 years old. This is because the job may involve handling potentially dangerous situations and individuals, requiring a level of maturity and responsibility that is typically associated with being an adult. Additionally, some venues may have their own policies that require security staff to be at least 18 years old.

Does the PC performance decrease after 2 years?
Yes, in many cases, PC performance can decrease after 2 years. This can be due to a variety of factors such as accumulation of temporary files, outdated software, and hardware wear and tear. Regular maintenance and updates can help mitigate this decline in performance, but it is common for PCs to slow down over time. Upgrading hardware components or investing in a new PC may be necessary to maintain optimal performance.

Digital Scenography : 30 Years of Experimentation and Innovation in Performance and Interactive Media
Shortlisted for the PQ Best Publication Award in Performance Design & Scenography 2023 This book uses digital media theory to explore contemporary understandings of expanded scenography as spatial practice.It surveys and analyses a selection of ground-breaking, experimental digital media performances that comprise a genealogy spanning the last 30 years, in order to show how the arrival of digital technologies has profoundly transformed performance practice.Performances are selected based on their ability to elicit the unique specificities of digital media in new and original ways, thereby exposing both the richness and shortcomings of digital culture. O'Dwyer argues that contemporary scenography is largely propelled by and dependent on digital technologies and represents a rich, fertile domain, where unbridled creativity can explore new techniques and challenge the limits of knowledge.The 30-year genealogy includes works by Troika Ranch, Stelarc, Klaus Obermaier, Chunky Move, Onion Lab and Blast Theory.In addition to applying a broad scope of performance analysis and aesthetic theory, the work includes artists’ interviews and opinions. The volume opens important aesthetic, philosophical and socio-political themes in order to highlight the impact of digital technologies on scenographic practice and the blossoming of experimental interdisciplinarity.Ultimately, the book is an exploration of how evolutionary leaps in technology contribute to how humans think, act, make work, engage one another, and therefore construct meaning and identity.

Does a CPU lose performance over the years?
Yes, a CPU can lose performance over the years due to factors such as aging, wear and tear, and exposure to heat. As the CPU is used, its performance can degrade gradually, leading to slower processing speeds and decreased efficiency. Additionally, as technology advances, newer CPUs with better performance capabilities are released, making older CPUs seem slower in comparison. Regular maintenance and proper cooling can help prolong the lifespan and performance of a CPU, but it is inevitable that it will eventually lose some of its original performance over time.
-

-
Does Windows memory security impact performance?
Yes, Windows memory security can impact performance. Memory security features such as Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Data Execution Prevention (DEP) can add overhead to the system as they work to protect against memory-based attacks. While these security measures are important for protecting the system from vulnerabilities, they can also have a slight impact on performance by consuming additional resources. However, the impact on performance is generally minimal and the trade-off for improved security is considered worthwhile.
