Smart City by Constro Facilitator English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08VGQTTDH | PDF | 4.52 Mb Smart Cities are cities where investment in human and social capital and traditional (transport) and modern (information and communications technology - ICT) communication infrastructure fuel sustainable economic development and a high quality of life through the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) to optimize city operations' and services' efficiency. Although the definition of a smart city is still evolving, a number of things have become clear. Smart cities utilise information and communication technologies to better the service levels, citizen well-being and economic development.  Situational Analysis in Practice: Mapping Relationalities Across Disciplines By Adele E. Clarke (editor), Rachel Washburn (editor), Carrie Friese (editor) 2022 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 0367476959 | PDF | 6 MB Situational Analysis (SA) creates analytic maps of social processes and relationships identified using approaches pioneered in grounded theory. Creator of the method, award-winning sociologist Adele E. Clarke, with Rachel Washburn and Carrie Friese, shows how the method can be, and has been, used in a variety of critical qualitative studies. The entirely new second edition of this book offers several chapters on the method and new introductory material from the editors about developments in using SA in qualitative inquiry. Part I introduces readers to the method of SA, discussing recent developments in the field. Part II offers five new chapters about various facets of the SA method, including a history of grounded theory and situational analysis, SA as critical pragmatist interactionism, using SA in managing a mixed-methods project, and SA mapping in the social policy classroom and in clinical counselling as innovatively collaborative analysis. Part III offers six new exemplary research articles drawn from energy research and international relations, public health research methods, disabled access to public transportat, participation in conservation in a biosphere reserve, and PTSD and the military. Authors' reflections on their experiences in using the method are also included. These carefully selected new readings vividly demonstrate how widely this method has traveled, successfully meeting the needs of diverse researchers seeking an innovative relational approach to critically analyzing a wide array of data. Situational Analysis in Practice will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students practicing the SA method across the social sciences, including sociology and healthcare amongst other disciplines, as well as research scholars interested in qualitative inquiry.  Silver and the Silver Economy at Hedeby By Stephen William Merkel 2016 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 3867570175 | PDF | 19 MB The trade of silver in Viking Age Scandinavia is intertwined with the development and collapse of long distance trade routes stretching as far as the North Atlantic in the West to Central Asia in the East. Hedeby, a Viking emporium, was an important gateway of trade between the Baltic and North Seas, and this makes it is an ideal place to explore the evolution of the silver supply in the 10th and 11th centuries A.D. The elemental and lead isotope compositions of locally minted Hedeby coins were compared to jewelry objects, hacksilver and imported silver coins, and four chronologically related shifts could be identified that reflect changes in the origin and type of raw materials used. This study features the use of laser ablation mass spectrometry of ca. 200 silver objects, and these analyses are placed in a broader context of early medieval silver metallurgy, mining archaeology and numismatics to interpret the compositional shifts as shifts in trade. Additionally, studies on crucibles and lead-based finds from Hedeby were carried out as well as the analysis of ore and slag from Central Asia to explore recycling and silver production technologies during the Viking period.  Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad By Hil Malatino 2022 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1517912083 | PDF | 9 MB How the "bad feelings" of trans experience inform trans survival and flourishing Some days-or weeks, or months, or even years-being trans feels bad. Yet as Hil Malatino points out, there is little space for trans people to think through, let alone speak of, these bad feelings. Negative emotions are suspect because they unsettle narratives of acceptance or reinforce virulently phobic framings of trans as inauthentic and threatening.In Side Affects, Malatino opens a new conversation about trans experience that acknowledges the reality of feeling fatigue, envy, burnout, numbness, and rage amid the ongoing onslaught of casual and structural transphobia in order to map the intricate emotional terrain of trans survival. Trans structures of feeling are frequently coded as negative on both sides of transition. Before transition, narratives are framed in terms of childhood trauma and being in the "wrong body." Posttransition, trans individuals-especially trans people of color-are subject to unrelenting transantagonism. Yet trans individuals are discouraged from displaying or admitting to despondency or despair.By moving these unloved feelings to the center of trans experience, Side Affects proposes an affective trans commons that exists outside political debates about inclusion. Acknowledging such powerful and elided feelings as anger and exhaustion, Malatino contends, is critical to motivating justice-oriented advocacy and organizing-and recalibrating new possibilities for survival and well-being.

Secure Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Systems by Haomiao Yang, Hongwei Li, Xuemin Sherman Shen English | PDF,EPUB | 2022(2023 Edition) | 166 Pages | ISBN : 3031070208 | 18.1 MB This book proposes secure schemes to address security challenges in secure automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast systems (ADS-B) from five different angles. First, the authors examine encryption schemes applied to the ADS-B environment for protecting messages confidentiality. Second, they propose an ADS-B broadcast authentication scheme with batch verification by employing an identity-based signature. Third, they present ADS-B broadcast authentication scheme based on a digital signature with message recovery, which provides a feature that the message is recoverable from the signature. Fourth, they propose a new cryptographic solution to ADS-B security. Finally, they propose an accurate and efficient cognitive aircraft location verification scheme preserving aircraft location privacy by utilizing a grid-based k-nearest neighbor algorithm. In summary, the authors show how ADS-B data links can greatly enhance flight safety by these proposed schemes without sacrificing data security. |
