Book Description

The current healthcare system faces complications including data acquisition, interpretation, and delivery challenges, particularly in out-of-hospital scenarios. The shortage of medical resources intensifies the demand for efficient information gathering and processing. Moreover, the potential of pervasive computing still needs to be explored in healthcare, limiting the industry's ability to leverage innovations like artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Ubiquitous Computing and Technological Innovation for Universal Healthcare addresses the medical field's critical challenges. It presents innovative solutions grounded in the marriage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), pervasive computing, and metaverse intelligence. It outlines how these UAVs redefine out-of-hospital care, addressing the pressing need for efficient data collection and interpretation amid a global medical shortage. Integrating cognitive algorithms is explored to automate diagnosis and enhance healthcare systems' emergency responsiveness. The book revolves around developing and integrating treatment programs leveraging UAV communication. Topics such as artificial intelligence, telemedicine, blockchain, digital twins, augmented reality, and virtual reality are delved into for their role in creating intelligent healthcare systems. The focus on rapid identification of underlying health issues, real-time monitoring in the metaverse, and the economic, social, and environmental impact of these systems adds depth to the discourse. Structured as a vital resource for researchers, academicians, industry professionals, policy-makers, and system designers, this book bridges the gap between theory and application.

Book Description

Housing is a major contributor to CO2 emissions in Europe and America today and the construction of new homes offers an opportunity to address this issue. Providing homes that achieve "zero carbon", "carbon neutral", "zero-net energy" or "energy-plus" standard is becoming the goal of more innovative house-builders globally, whilst energy providers seek to decarbonise the energy supply to new and existing development. Various new technical systems for achieving these goals are beginning to emerge. For example the passive house whose energy requirement for space heating and cooling is almost zero; the smart grid that has revolutionized the management of energy, whilst enabling the connection of small-scale, renewable energy producers and electric vehicles to the grid; or the European super-grid which will enable zero carbon energy to be generated in the Sahara desert and stored in Norway. This book explores the diverse approaches that are being adopted around the world to deliver zero carbon homes and the different societal systems and geographic circumstances in which they have developed. It postulates a roadmap for delivering zero carbon homes, together with a toolbox approach for policy and practice to suit particular national and local circumstances. A series of case studies are presented that offer lessons for delivering zero carbon homes. These examples are also used to demonstrate how prototype systems can move into the mainstream. The book highlights some of the instruments and mechanisms that could be used to support this transformation and addresses the wider implications of introducing these innovative systems in terms of industry, lifestyle and urban form.

Book Description

Some of the great literary works such as the Bible and Indian epics, among others, provide society with the guiding principles of life. Works by poets have always entertained their readers and will continue to do so. The Lord of the Rings, The Godfather, A Tale of Two Cities, Harry Potter, and James Bond have been among the best-selling books of all time for many generations. While some literary and poetic works carry life lessons, many others make us think. Some works are known for the sheer entertainment they provide, while others intrigue. Many works of literature establish a strong connection with their audience through the stories they tell or the message they convey. Readers tend to associate themselves with the emotions described in these works and participate emotionally. Literature therefore has a profound impact on the minds of readers and, in turn, on their lives! A Melody Called Africa reminds the human society that strong and integrated works of literature and art can improve our lives and answer the big weary questions of the mankind.

Book Description

The feminist women’s health movement of the 1960s and 1970s is credited with creating significant changes in the healthcare industry and bringing women’s health issues to public attention. Decades later, women’s health issues are more visible than ever before, but that visibility is made possible by a process of depoliticization The Vulnerable Empowered Woman assesses the state of women’s healthcare today by analyzing popular media representations—television, print newspapers, websites, advertisements, blogs, and memoirs—in order to understand the ways in which breast cancer, postpartum depression, and cervical cancer are discussed in American public life. From narratives about prophylactic mastectomies to young girls receiving a vaccine for sexually transmitted disease, the representations of women’s health today form a single restrictive identity: the vulnerable empowered woman. This identity defuses feminist notions of collective empowerment and social change by drawing from both postfeminist and neoliberal ideologies. The woman is vulnerable because of her very femininity and is empowered not to change the world, but to choose from among a limited set of medical treatments. The media’s depiction of the vulnerable empowered woman’s relationship with biomedicine promotes traditional gender roles and affirms women’s unquestioning reliance on medical science for empowerment. The book concludes with a call to repoliticize women’s health through narratives that can help us imagine women—and their relationship to medicine—differently.
