In an age where sustainable development is paramount, North Sumatra's rich tapestry of natural resources and diverse ecosystems is both a blessing and a challenge. As we confront the dual pressures of environmental degradation and the growing demand for food and energy, it becomes essential to rethink and innovate beyond traditional practices. This book aims to provide an insightful examination of these critical issues. It also aims to offer a comprehensive update on the status and prospects of the efforts on the region's sustainability. This book is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who are committed to understanding and addressing the complex interdependencies between natural resources, environmental health, and the food and energy security sectors in North Sumatra. North Sumatra's natural resources, from its lush forests to its abundant marine life, are integral to the region's economy and the well-being of its communities. However, the traditional ways of managing these resources are increasingly proving insufficient in the face of climate change, population growth, and industrialization. To ensure the long-term security of food and energy, we must embrace innovative practices that not only protect but also enhance our natural environments. But it faces significant challenges that demand urgent and innovative solutions.

Free Download Nafeesah Allen, "Indo-Mozambicans in Maputo, 1947-1992: Oral Narratives on Identity and Migration "
English | ISBN: 3031088255 | 2022 | 256 pages | EPUB | 19 MB
This book explores the experiences of 'Indo-Mozambicans,' citizens and residents of Mozambique who can trace their origins to the Indian subcontinent, a region affected by competing colonialisms during the twentieth century. Drawing from ethnographic interviews, the author illustrates why migration developed as both an identity marker and a survival tool for Indo-Mozambicans living in Maputo, in response to the series of independence movements and prolonged period of geo-political uncertainty that extended from 1947 to 1992. A unique examination of post-colonialism, the book argues that four pivotal moments in history forced migratory patterns and ethnic identity formations to emerge among Indo-Mozambicans, namely, the end of the British empire in India and the subsequent partition of India and Pakistan in 1947; the end of the Portuguese empire in India, with the annexation of Goa, Daman and Diu in 1961; the independence of Mozambique from Portugal in 1975; and the civil war of Mozambique from 1977 to 1992. Framing these historical markers as trigger points for shifts in migration and identity formation, this book demonstrates the layered experiences of people subject to Portuguese colonialism and highlights the important perspective of those 'left behind' in migration studies.

Free Download Individualized Quality of Experience Estimation in Audiovisual Communication (T-Labs Series in Telecommunication Services) by Robert Philipp Spang
English | September 17, 2024 | ISBN: 3031675509 | 172 pages | MOBI | 4.85 Mb
The book presents an in-depth exploration of the Individuality Assisted Estimation (IAE) model in the context of Quality of Experience (QoE) assessment for multimedia, specifically audiovisual communication. The book delves into how individual characteristics, including psychological traits and states, influence perceptions of multimedia quality. The book argues for the integration of individual differences into these assessments, hypothesizing that this approach can enhance the accuracy and relevance of QoE ratings. Through a series of experiments and analyses, the book rigorously evaluates the effectiveness of the IAE model, comparing it against traditional methods, and highlights its particular strengths in estimating task load. The research contributes to the field by emphasizing the importance of individuality in multimedia quality assessment and offering a practical, empirically validated approach for incorporating individual differences into QoE models.
