Special issue on smart interactions in cyber-physical systems: Humans, agents, robots, machines, and sensors
In recent years, there has been increasing interaction between humans and nonâhuman systems as we move further beyond the industrial age, the information age, and as we move into the fourthâgeneration society. The ability to distinguish between human and nonâhuman capabilities has become more difficult to discern. Given this, it is common that cyberâphysical systems (CPSs) are rapidly integrated with human functionality, and humans have become increasingly dependent on CPSs to perform their daily routines.The constant indicators of a future where human and nonâhuman CPSs relationships consistently interact and where they allow each other to navigate through a set of nonâtrivial goals is an interesting and rich area of research, discovery, and practical work area. The evidence of con- vergence has rapidly gained clarity, demonstrating that we can use complex combinations of sensors, artificial intelli- gence, and data to augment human life and knowledge. To expand the knowledge in this area, we should explain how to model, design, validate, implement, and experiment with these complex systems of interaction, communication, and networking, which will be developed and explored in this special issue. This special issue will include ideas of the future that are relevant for understanding, discerning, and developing the relationship between humans and nonâ human CPSs as well as the practical nature of systems that facilitate the integration between humans, agents, robots, machines, and sensors (HARMS).Fil: Kim, Donghan.

The Matter of Entrepreneurial Learning: A Literature Review
This paper is a comprehensive review of the entrepreneurial learning literature and its engagement with the material aspects of entrepreneurship, as part of the âmaterial turnâ in the social sciences. Drawing on actor-network theory, we construct a classificatory scheme and an evaluative matrix to find that this field is dominated by an anthropocentric bias and cognitivist approaches which largely ignore issues of materiality in entrepreneurship. However we also identify some heterogeneous network-based conceptualisations of entrepreneurial learning which could provide the foundations for more materially aware approaches. We conclude by calling for a material turn in entrepreneurial learning and outline some possible avenues for it

Guest Editorial for a Special Issue of Religions of South Asia: Yoga DarĆana, Yoga SÄdhana: traditions, transmissions and transformations
This special issue of Religions of South Asia is born out of this expanding area of study and collaboration between contemporary practitioners and established academic methods of study. Most of the articles in this volume were first presented at an international âYoga DarĆana, Yoga SÄdhanaâ conference hosted in KrakĂłw, Poland in May 2016. The Krakow conference was initiated by Matylda CioĆkosz and Robert CzyĆŒykowski of the Institute for the Study of Religions, Jagiellonian University and was co-sponsored by the Modern Yoga Research network established by Elizabeth de Michelis, with the help of Mark Singleton and Suzanne Newcombe
