"What, exactly, is 'National Cyber Security'? The rise of cyberspace as a field of human endeavour is probably nothing less than one of the most significant developments in world history. Cyberspace already directly impacts every facet of human existence including economic, social, cultural and political developments, and the rate of change is not likely to stop anytime soon. However, the socio-political answers to the questions posed by the rise of cyberspace often significantly lag behind the rate of technological change. One of the fields most challenged by this development is that of 'national security'. The National Cyber Security Framework Manual provides detailed background information and in-depth theoretical frameworks to help the reader understand the various facets of National Cyber Security, according to different levels of public policy formulation. The four levels of government--political, strategic, operational and tactical/technical--each have their own perspectives on National Cyber Security, and each is addressed in individual sections within the Manual. Additionally, the Manual gives examples of relevant institutions in National Cyber Security, from top-level policy coordination bodies down to cyber crisis management structures and similar institutions."--Page 4 of cover.

Actualmente, una de las principales preocupaciones para los legisladores se centra en la configuración de un régimen jurídico que aborde la responsabilidad civil por los daños causados por los robots autónomos con inteligencia artificial; robots que están pensados para interactuar cada vez más con los humanos; circunstancia que aumenta las posibilidades de daño hacia éstos, y que se encuentran capacitados para actuar sobre el ambiente que los rodea prescindiendo de las instrucciones de su propietario o programador. La pérdida de dirección que afecta al creador, propietario o programador del sistema inteligente, plantea el problema de dilucidar a quien debe imputársele la responsabilidad por el daño causado por el robot dentro de su margen de autonomía decisoria. En la obra se analizan las carencias y obstáculos que presenta nuestro actual sistema de responsabilidad civil para hacer frente a este nuevo tipo de daño fruto de la imparable y necesaria evolución tecnológica, al tiempo que se articulan nuevos regímenes de responsabilidad a partir de los supuestos que principalmente pueden plantearse en la práctica, ya que los cambios que estos sistemas inteligentes van a comportar en muchos sectores de la sociedad; entre ellos, en el sector de la responsabilidad civil por los daños que cometan a los humanos, no están cubiertos por los regímenes jurídicos actuales.

In this definitive new text, the major medicines, devices and vaccines used by women worldwide are brought together for the first time in a single volume. Written and edited by international experts with an evidence-based approach, the book offers a comprehensive summary of all the key areas of women’s medicines. In the first part, issues relating to female drug exposure and considerations for prescribing for subgroups of women - for example during pregnancy and lactation - are presented in the context of contemporary clinical practice. In the second part, specific groups of pharmaceutical products are reviewed, including oral contraceptives, emergency contraception, treatment of chronic pelvic pain, hormone replacement therapy, bisphosphonates, herbal medicines for women, contraceptive devices and human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines. Every chapter reviews and summarises the efficacy and safety of each group of products and concludes with a useful set of clinical take home messages. In the third part, broader perspectives are presented - from a primary care overview of prescribing for women, through to regulatory, political and religious aspects, including issues with women’s medicines in developing countries. The final two chapters focus on risk communication and conclude that women themselves should be placed at the centre of all discussions about their medicines. The book is aimed at prescribers, other healthcare professionals and students in the field of women’s health throughout the world. It is an extremely valuable resource for all in clinical practice, for students of medicine, nursing, pharmacy and related sciences, and also for those in medicines regulation, pharmacovigilance and the pharmaceutical industry.
