IoT innovations produce interesting opportunities, impact ethical and social aspects towards human society and influence operational and global aspects towards technical systems. These innovations appear a relevant case that opens new frontiers for electro forensic engineering and claims a “new regulatory approach” to promote analysis for testing in progress the evolution of the same innovations.

This editorial presents the reasons why the metropolitan scale is gaining momentum as a concept, as well as a process taking place in the real world, and considers its definition. The main questions and theories used in research on the metropolitan scale are introduced, followed by the research findings of the different papers in this special issue. By analysing the metropolitan scale in its economic, spatial and political dimensions, it has been possible to detect both similar and different kinds and degrees of development, and to focus on their determinants.

IoT innovations produce interesting opportunities, impact ethical and social aspects towards human society and influence operational and technical solutions towards the structural systems. This paper

In the last few years the phenomenon of the Sharing Economy rapidly gained momentum. The reasons for this success are multiple but the most important is the tendency to faster exchanges and economic relationships both on the real and the financial market. This awareness made it essential to start the study from the crisis of the hyper-capitalism and of the concept of ownership which is being replaced with that of a more fluid sharing.

The chapter will move along the following research path: a) First of all, our intention is to help the contribute understanding the social and quantitative relevance of informal employment per geographic areas and per regions; b) We will then focus on the reasons that push workers to accept or even seek forms of employment that from the outside seem to return to the past in terms of labour exploitation and disrespect for employees’ rights and personal dignity.

This special issue aims to highlight the logical connection between social process (as present currently in globalization) and gender: one of many identifying factors. Even if this connection has been of the foci of gender studies leading up to its first theories, it has been explored only so far as its clear and obvious consequences.

The aim of this work is threefold: first, to show how, in the context of the gentrification process in the city of Banaras (now Varanasi) in India, social networking, and in particular WhatsApp video calls, make up an attempt by young sex workers in the red-light district (i.e., Shivdaspur) to overcome the spatial entrapment, physical and identity displacement issues resulting from the policies of “beautification,” and urban development of the city.

Our ability to predict the identity of future invasive alien species is largely based upon knowledge of prior invasion history. Emerging alien species-those never encountered as aliens before-therefore pose a significant challenge to biosecurity interventions worldwide. Understanding their temporal trends, origins, and the drivers of their spread is pivotal to improving prevention and risk assessment tools. Here, we use a database of 45,984 first records of 16,019 established alien species to investigate the temporal dynamics of occurrences of emerging alien species worldwide.
