This book shares experiences and knowledge on climate change impacts and adaptation, risk reduction strategies, communities’ responses, and best practices from different landscapes of India. It provides insights into climate change risk reduction in trans-disciplinary frameworks. The findings and discussions put forward in the chapters, largely based on micro-level case studies, provide an in-depth understanding of interactions among ecology, society, and economy under different conditions of changing climate. It contains critical discussion on both existing and required actions as adjustments to climate change impacts by different actors at diverse scales and contexts. The recommendations will be beneficial in climate change adaptation planning for India and other developing countries, where a large portion of the population directly depends on climate-sensitive sectors. The content of the book is interdisciplinary and it will be beneficial for scholars and practitioners from natural science, social science, policy, and governance across the continents.

The book is divided into two volumes and offers valuable insights into soft computing for teachers and researchers alike; the book will inspire further research in this dynamic field.
Increasingly clear evidence points to the need to consider gender differences in human health. In this collection of papers, recent research that supports gender differences in the immune system are discussed. We have loosely divided the eBook into two sections. The first section focuses on the role of steroid hormone interactions within the immune system, and their impact on autoimmune diseases, infection and allergy. This section contains comprehensive reviews and an opinion article about this topic. In the following section, original research articles revolve around the effects of the sex hormones on immune response. Two original manuscripts deal with the role of estrogen receptors in autoimmune diseases. Other two research articles discuss the role of the immune system during pregnancy. Finally, differences between males and females in infections are the topic of further two research articles. We are confident this collection of papers will be important for exploring and developing a greater understanding of gender differences in human health and disease.
This book provides a multifaceted examination of solid waste management methods, the preparation, properties, and application of solid waste materials in the remediation of various environmental media, as well as the combination of solid waste materials and artificial intelligence. Based on the latest research results and cutting-edge technologies from around the world, the contributors combine the design principles of solid waste materials with application examples, including a complete system, clear routes, and illustrations. They integrate the idea of ecological civilization, the concept of sustainable development, and engineering innovation thinking, providing a reliable reference for resource recycling and contributing to global low-carbon emission. The book is suitable for teachers and students, as well as researchers, industrial technicians, and managers involved in solid waste resources and environmental remediation.
