Collaborative Spaces at Work : Innovation, Creativity and Relations
Collaborative spaces are more than physical locations of work and production.They present strong identities centered on collaboration, exchange, sense of community, and co-creation, which are expected to create a physical and social atmosphere that facilitates positive social interaction, knowledge sharing, and information exchange.This book explores the complex experiences and social dynamics that emerge within and between collaborative spaces and how they impact, sometimes unexpectedly, on creativity and innovation. Collaborative Spaces at Work is timely and relevant: it will address the gap in critical understandings of the role and outcomes of collaborative spaces.Advancing the debate beyond regional development rhetoric, the book will investigate, through various empirical studies, if and how collaborative spaces do actually support innovation and the generation of new ideas, products, and processes. The book is intended as a primary reference in creativity and innovation, workspaces, knowledge and creative workers, and urban studies.Given its short chapters and strong empirical orientation, it will also appeal to policy makers interested in urban regeneration, sustaining innovation, and social and economic development, and to managers of both collaborative spaces and companies who want to foster creativity within larger organizations.It can also serve as a textbook in master’s degrees and PhD courses on innovation and creativity, public management, urban studies, management of work, and labor relations.

Transatlantic Relations : Challenge and Resilience
This book explains how and why the transatlantic relationship has remained resilient despite persistent differences in the preferences, approaches, and policies of key member states.It covers topics ranging from the history of transatlantic relations, North Atlantic Treaty Organization and security issues, trade, human rights, and the cultural sinews of the relationship, to the impacts of COVID-19, climate change, think tanks, the rise of populism, public opinion, and the triangular relationship between the United States (US), Europe, and China.The book also conceptualizes resilience as a quality arising from myriad forms of interdependence.This interdependence helps shed light on the Atlantic partnership’s capacity to withstand serious disagreements, such as those that occurred during the Reagan, George W.Bush, and Trump presidencies. With a principal focus on the US and Europe, the contributors to the volume also employ Canadian case studies to provide a unique and useful corrective.This book will interest all intermediate and senior undergraduate as well as graduate courses on relations between the US and Europe, American foreign policy, and European Union foreign policy.A specialist readership that includes academic and think tank researchers, policy practitioners, and opinion leaders will also benefit from this timely volume.

What relations are equivalence relations?
Equivalence relations are relations that satisfy three properties: reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. Reflexivity means that every element is related to itself. Symmetry means that if one element is related to another, then the other is related to the first. Transitivity means that if one element is related to another and the second element is related to a third, then the first element is related to the third. Relations that satisfy these three properties are considered equivalence relations. Examples of equivalence relations include "is equal to" and "has the same birthday as."

What are equivalence relations?
Equivalence relations are a type of relation between elements of a set that satisfy three properties: reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. Reflexivity means that every element is related to itself. Symmetry means that if one element is related to another, then the other is related to the first. Transitivity means that if one element is related to a second, and the second is related to a third, then the first is related to the third. Equivalence relations are important in mathematics and other fields because they allow us to classify elements of a set into distinct equivalence classes based on their relationships with each other.

What are Byzantine relations?
Byzantine relations refer to the diplomatic, political, and cultural interactions between the Byzantine Empire and other states or entities. These relations were crucial for the Byzantine Empire's survival and influence, as they involved alliances, treaties, trade agreements, and military cooperation with neighboring powers such as the Roman Empire, Persia, Arab Caliphates, and various European kingdoms. Byzantine relations also involved religious and cultural exchanges, as the Byzantine Empire played a significant role in spreading Christianity and preserving classical knowledge. These relations were often complex and constantly evolving, shaping the empire's foreign policy and its place in the wider world.

What are real societal relations?
Real societal relations refer to the interactions, connections, and dynamics that exist among individuals, groups, and institutions within a society. These relations are shaped by various factors such as power dynamics, cultural norms, economic structures, and historical contexts. They influence how people relate to each other, how resources are distributed, and how social hierarchies are maintained or challenged. Understanding real societal relations is crucial for analyzing social issues, promoting social justice, and fostering positive social change.

What are entities and relations?
Entities are objects or concepts that are distinguishable and can be described. They can be people, places, things, or events. Relations, on the other hand, are connections or associations between entities. They define how entities are related to each other and provide context to their interactions. In a database context, entities are represented as tables and relations are represented as the connections between these tables.
-
How many relations are there?
The number of relations depends on the context in which the term is being used. In mathematics, a relation between two sets is a collection of ordered pairs, and the number of relations between two finite sets of sizes m and n is 2^(m*n). In a social or personal context, the number of relations could refer to the number of connections or interactions between individuals, which would vary widely depending on the size and complexity of the social network. Therefore, the number of relations can vary greatly depending on the specific context in which the term is being used.

What are order relations mxn?
Order relations mxn are a type of binary relation that is defined on two sets, typically denoted as M and N. In this context, "m" and "n" represent elements of the sets M and N, respectively. The order relation mxn specifies a relationship between elements of M and N, indicating whether one element is less than, equal to, or greater than another. This type of relation is commonly used in mathematics and computer science to compare and order elements of different sets.
-
Why are the relations symmetric?
Relations are symmetric when for every pair of elements (a, b) in the relation, if (a, b) is in the relation, then (b, a) is also in the relation. This means that the relation is bidirectional, and both elements are related to each other in the same way. Symmetric relations are important because they represent a balanced and mutual connection between elements, where the relationship between them is not one-sided. This property is useful in various mathematical and real-world applications, such as in modeling social networks, communication systems, and equivalence relations.
