Human Centered Management and Crisis: Disruptions, Resilience, Wellbeing and Sustainability is the new edited book of the Human Centered Management (HCM) Series developed to respond to surmounting concerns of global audiences and human centered scholars, practitioners and students searching for answers to better and objectively understand the effects of unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic disruptions and ongoing crises, affecting the wellbeing of people and workplaces since 2019. The effects linger and solutions are pressing. This new HCM volume presents analytical expertise and practical experiences of a team of international HCM scholars and practitioners targeting objective assessment of causes and effects of disruptions and offering coherent solutions applying HCM principles and practices. The book chapters include topics dealing with specific problem-solving strategies in numerous industries, among them, higher education, health care and entrepreneurship. The book will help readers worldwide to understand the challenges people and organizations are facing in the present global VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environment. The audience will benefit from the book and its purpose to deliver enduring HCM solutions anchored in the wellbeing of people as precondition for organizations to secure high performance, quality standards and long-term sustainability.

“Don’t women with children travel?” Marybeth Bond and Pamela Michael enquire, in their book A Mother’s World: Journeys of the Heart (1998), when discovering the absence of portrayals of travelling mothers. Addressing this absence, our book Travellin’ Mama: Mothers, Mothering and Travel explores the multiple dimensions of motherhood and travel.

This book reports on advances in mechanical engineering, with a special emphasis on innovative design approaches, constructions and working processes, and on intelligent devices. It discusses physical aspects during pressing and vibrational processing, and findings relating to static stiffness and wear resistance. Further chapters report on the modeling and simulation of mechanical systems using mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, and experimental studies. This book also describes the use of LabVIEW, an infrared camera, and acoustic technology for the control and diagnostic of air leaks and radial runout of gear wheels. It discusses topics concerning the efficiency of systems and processes, reporting on new strategies for improving the design and operation of hydraulic machine rotors, screw and roller presses, and homogenizers, among others. Based on the 8th International Conference on Design, Simulation, Manufacturing: The Innovation Exchange (DSMIE-2025), held on June 17-20, 2025, in Porto, Portugal, this second volume of a 4-volume set provides academics and professionals with extensive information on technologies, trends, challenges, and practice-oriented experience in all the above-mentioned.
