Judgment, Decision-Making, and Embodied Choices introduces a new concept of embodied choices which take sensorimotor experiences into account when limited time and resources forces a person to make a quick decision. This book combines areas of cognitive psychology and movement science, presenting an integrative approach to understanding human functioning in everyday scenarios. This is the first book focusing on the role of the gut as a second brain, introducing the link to risky behavior. The book's author engages readers by providing real-life experiences and scenarios connecting theory to practice.

This book examines context while applications access their configuration settings. It is based on the Elektra platform. Context includes all factors that influence an application's configuration settings, for example, information about geographical locations, installed packages, hardware configurations, network connections, and configuration settings of the system. If software better adapts its behavior according to its context, we call it more context aware. Applications tend to be adaptable by configuration settings. Context-aware configurations are configuration settings in accordance with their context.

No other book has attempted to combine leading edge contemporary sport science with the realities of match officiating in this way, and therefore this book is vital reading for any advanced student of sport science, sport coaching or sport development, or any practising official or sports administrator looking to raise their professional standards.
