Sustainable Communication Networks and Application
This book presents state-of-the-art theories and technologies and discusses developments in the two major fields: engineering and sustainable computing. In this modern era of information and communication technologies [ICT], there is a growing need for new sustainable and energy-efficient communication and networking technologies. The book highlights significant current and potential international research relating to theoretical and practical methods toward developing sustainable communication and networking technologies. In particular, it focuses on emerging technologies such as wireless communications, mobile networks, Internet of things [IoT], sustainability, and edge network models. The contributions cover a number of key research issues in software-defined networks, blockchain technologies, big data, edge/fog computing, computer vision, sentiment analysis, cryptography, energy-efficient systems, and cognitive platforms.
Manual of Reformed Stoicism
This book is a manifesto of reformed Stoicism. It proposes a system of life which is bullet-proof, universal, viable and effective in every cosmic setting. It holds in every possible universe, under any government and within any economic system. We can be reformed Stoics no matter what we believe in. Reformed Stoicism is about enjoying and exercising our agency. In other words, it’s about the flow of making autonomous and right decisions, and about celebrating our ability to make them. With no reliance on nature, with the recalibration of metaphysical positions, with skepticism towards grand discourses and universal answers, with an emphasis on the usefulness instead of truthfulness of narratives, with no reference to the vanity argument, with criticism of both conservative and ascetic misinterpretations of Stoicism, with an overall softer and more empathic approach, we can no longer be defined by the generic term “Stoicism”. Our time, in short, calls for a fresh interpretation of Stoicism. It is time for a new generation of Stoics. Thus: reformed Stoicism.

Embedding Young People's Participation in Health Services
There is increasing interest in young people’s participation in the design and delivery of health services. But young people’s views are not consistently sought or acknowledged, and they are still often marginalised in healthcare encounters. Drawing on original research and a diverse range of practice examples, Brady explores the potential for inclusive and diverse approaches to young people’s participation in health services from the perspectives of young people, health professionals and other practitioners. She presents a practical new framework, embedded in children’s rights, that shows how young people’s participation can be integrated into services in ways that are meaningful, effective and sustainable.
Privacy, Trust and Social Media
Trust is important – it influences new technologies adoption and learning, enhances using social media, new technologies, IoT, and blockchain, and it contributes to the practical implementations of cybersecurity policy in organizations. This edited research volume examines the main issues and challenges associated with privacy and trust on social media in a manner relevant to both practitioners and scholars. Readers will gain knowledge across disciplines on trust and related concepts, theoretical underpinnings of privacy issues and trust on social media, and empirically-validated trust-building practice on social media. Social Media, Privacy Issues and Trust-building aims to bring together...
Messages
The author, Piotr Gwiazda, comments in the interview contained in this book on the title Messages: "The first association will be - perhaps inevitably - with the phone, email, and text messages we send and receive on a daily basis. Also the messages that "pour out of various devices" (as in Muriel Rukeyser's poem): news stories, speeches, alerts, warning labels, traffic and weather reports, TV and radio commercials, those targeted ads on Google and Facebook. Communications overload - but with a touch of magic to it. Again, we are both consumers and producers of messages: we post, we blog, we update, we upload. But I was also thinking about the broader connotations of the word. After all, messages can be exchanged in the course of a simple conversation."
