Emerging Technologies for Combatting Pandemics: AI, IoMT, and Analytics
by Mondal, M. Rubaiyat HossainThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the healthcare sector across the globe. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) play important roles when dealing with emerging challenges. These technologies are being applied to problems involving the early detection of infections, fast contact tracing, decision-making models, risk profiling of cohorts, and remote treatment. Applying these technologies runs against challenges including interoperability, lack of unified structure for eHealth, and data privacy and security. Emerging Technologies for Combatting Pandemics: AI, IoMT, and Analytics examines multiple models and solutions for various settings including individual, home, work, and society. The world’s healthcare systems are battling the novel coronavirus, and government authorities, scientists, medical practitioners, and medical services are striving hard to surmount these challenges. This book focuses on the design and implementation of AI-based approaches in the proposed COVID-19 solutions that are enabled and supported by IoMT, sensor networks, cloud and edge computing, robotics, and analytics. It covers technologies under the umbrella of AI that include data science, big data, machine learning (ML), semantic technologies, analytics, and cyber security. Highlights of the book include: Epidemic forecasting models Surveillance and tracking systems IoMT and Internet of Healthcare Things-based integrated systems for COVID-19 Social network analysis systems Radiological image- based diagnosis systems Computational intelligence methods This reference work is beneficial for interdisciplinary students, researchers, and healthcare and technology professionals who need to know how computational intelligence could be used for surveillance, control, prevention, prediction, diagnosis, and potential treatment of the disease.

Reactionary Democracy: How Racism and the Populist Far Right Became Mainstream
by Aurelien Mondon Aaron WinterDemocracy must be anti-racist. Any less is cowardly. Any less is reactionary.Democracy is not necessarily progressive, and will only be if we make it so. What Mondon and Winter call 'reactionary democracy' is the use of the concept of democracy and its associated understanding of the power to the people (demos cratos) for reactionary ends. The resurgence of racism, populism and the far right is not the result of popular demands as we are often told. It is rather the logical conclusion of the more or less conscious manipulation by the elite of the concept of 'the people' and the working class to push reactionary ideas. These narratives place racism as a popular demand, rather than as something encouraged and perpetuated by elites, thus exonerating those with the means to influence and control public discourse through the media in particular. This in turn has legitimised the far right, strengthened its hand and compounded inequalities.These actions diverts us away from real concerns and radical alternatives to the current system. Through a careful and thorough deconstruction of the hegemonic discourse currently preventing us from thinking beyond the liberal vs populist dichotomy, this book develops a better understanding of the systemic forces underpinning our current model and its exploitative and discriminatory basis. The book shows us that the far right would not have been able to achieve such success, either electorally or ideologically, were it not for the help of elite actors (the media, politicians and academics). While the far right is a real threat and should not be left off the hook, the authors argue that we need to shift the responsibility of the situation towards those who too often claim to be objective, and even powerless, bystanders despite their powerful standpoint and clear capacity to influence the agenda, public discourse, and narratives, particularly when they platform and legitimise racist and far right ideas and actors.

Data Control: Major Challenge for the Digital Society
by Jean-Louis MoninoBusinesses are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of data and information. As such, they are eager to develop ways to "manage" them, to enrich them and take advantage of them. Indeed, the recent explosion of a phenomenal amount of data, and the need to analyze it, brings to the forefront the well-known hierarchical model: "Data, Information, Knowledge". "Data"– this new intangible manna – is produced in real time. It arrives in a continuous stream and comes from a multitude of sources that are generally heterogeneous. This accumulation of data of all kinds is generating new activities designed to analyze these huge amounts of information. It is therefore necessary to adapt and try new approaches, methods, new knowledge and new ways of working. This leads to new properties and new issues as a logical reference must be created and implemented. At the company level, this mass of data is difficult to manage; interpreting it is the predominant challenge.
