Freedom in the World contains both comparative ratings and written narratives and is now the standard reference work for measuring the progress and decline in political rights and civil liberties on a global basis.
This volume presents selected papers from the 3rd International Conference on Optical and Wireless Technologies, conducted from 16th to 17th March, 2019. It focuses on extending the limits of currently used systems encompassing optical and wireless domains, and explores the latest developments in applications like photonics, high speed communication systems and networks, visible light communication, nano-photonics, wireless, and MIMO systems. The proceedings contain high quality scholarly articles, giving insight into the analytical, experimental, and developmental aspects of systems, techniques, and devices in these spheres. This volume will prove useful to researchers and professionals alike.
The first guide to tackle security architecture at the softwareengineering level Computer security has become a critical business concern, and, assuch, the responsibility of all IT professionals. In thisgroundbreaking book, a security expert with AT&T Business'srenowned Network Services organization explores system securityarchitecture from a software engineering perspective. He explainswhy strong security must be a guiding principle of the developmentprocess and identifies a common set of features found in mostsecurity products, explaining how they can and should impact thedevelopment cycle. The book also offers in-depth discussions ofsecurity technologies, cryptography, database security, applicationand operating system security, and more.

Examines the geopolitics of West Asia. The region is undergoing a phase of turbulence since the outbreak of the Arab Spring. This period has been marked by popular protests, internal conflicts, civil wars, military interventions and involvement of external players. The regional security situation remains fragile with a new terrorist entity challenging the existing geographical boundaries of the region.
Low power wide area network (LPWAN) is a promising solution for long range and low power Internet of Things (IoT) and machine to machine (M2M) communication applications. The LPWANs are resource-constrained networks and have critical requirements for long battery life, extended coverage, high scalability, and low device and deployment costs. There are several design and deployment challenges such as media access control, spectrum management, link optimization and adaptability, energy harvesting, duty cycle restrictions, coexistence and interference, interoperability and heterogeneity, security and privacy, and others.LPWAN Technologies for IoT and M2M Applications is intended to provide a one-stop solution for study of LPWAN technologies as it covers a broad range of topics and multidisciplinary aspects of LPWAN and IoT. Primarily, the book focuses on design requirements and constraints, channel access, spectrum management, coexistence and interference issues, energy efficiency, technology candidates, use cases of different applications in smart city, healthcare, and transportation systems, security issues, hardware/software platforms, challenges, and future directions.
Specifically, the paper identifies and analyzes several direct drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in Ethiopia including: forest clearance for both subsistence and large-scale agriculture; illegal and unsustainable extraction of wood mainly for charcoal and firewood; overgrazing; and recurrent forest fires. It also reviews underlying drivers including: rapid population increase and the associated growing demand for land and energy; extensive legal and institutional gaps including lack of stable and equitable forest tenure; lack of stakeholder participation in forest management and benefit-sharing schemes; and weak law enforcement. These drivers and the dominant actors behind them...
