The Road towards 6G: A Comprehensive View of the Enabling Technologies
by Valeria Loscri Luca Chiaraviglio Anna Maria VegniThe proposed book will provide a comprehensive picture of the journey from 5G networks towards 6G. Different aspects, ranging from theoretical foundations to existing platforms and technologies will be presented and analysed, by critically highlighting the real opportunities and the challenges. The first chapters are to describe the general “transitioning” aspects from 5G to 6G. After that, an overview on the different technologies is provided, to present at the end the security aspects, the new applications and an analysis of the electromagnetic exposure, above all in terms of comparative in respect of 5G. Security and Application will be straightforward better explained after the big picture on the different technologies is detailed in the previous chapters. 6G is an emerging complex paradigm, with some important new concepts, that would enable an extremely high reliability and low latency. The main purpose is to provide the reader a thorough vision of the enabling technologies, their potential and what is still needed to fill the gap in terms of sustainability and coexistence of the different technologies. Since different emerging technologies will be considered and detailed in the book, it will be interesting for the reader to infer the major opportunities of each and the main limitations.

Social Accountability Initiatives in Morocco, Tunisia, and Lebanon: Civic Innovation in the Arab World After 2011 (EADI Global Development Series)
by Ward Vloeberghs Sylvia I. BerghThis Open Access Pivot represents the first extensive exploration of social accountability within the Arab world following the 2011 Arab uprisings. Drawing on insights from development studies, comparative politics, and Middle East studies, the authors explore the evolution of accountability as a governance concept, review theories on social accountability’s role in improving public service delivery, and categorize types of social accountability initiatives, highlighting respective strengths and weaknesses. Detailed country chapters provide a solid basis for the comparative approach which reveals major variations in meanings of accountability, mobilization strategies, and official responses, rooted in the specific sociopolitical contexts of each country. Moreover, the book analyzes the influence of political and economic elites as well as the nature of popular mobilisation on accountability dynamics in the region. The authors conclude by discerning differences and commonalities across cases and offer recommendations for policymakers, donors, and practitioners seeking to enhance the effectiveness of social accountability initiatives. They address challenges such as the lack of enforcement mechanisms, the difficulty of scaling up initiatives, and the ambiguous effects of international interventions. This pioneering Pivot fills a significant void in the study of social accountability in the MENA region and provides a compelling framework for future research and policy design, making it an indispensable resource for experts and scholars.

Post-Apocalyptic Cultures: New Political Imaginaries After the Collapse of Modernity (Palgrave Studies in Utopianism)
by Julia Urabayen Jorge León CaseroThis book advocates for the necessity of recovering the value of utopias as political projects that open new channels of action. The criticism of modern political utopias is based on the supposed impossibility of creating for the future because there is no longer a future (apocalyptic ideology). However, this edited collection seeks to show that the post-apocalyptic world in which we live entails a renewed freedom of design for the radical reorganization of institutions. Post-apocalyptic cultures are not obligated to follow the capitalist, anthropocentric, correlationist and sovereign modes of the old political project of emancipation—the Western enlightenment—that has started to collapse. With this in mind, this book is divided into four sections dedicated to the main themes from which to rethink the projects of political emancipation that are possible nowadays: technopolitics; posthumanist biopolitics; non-western politicsl and the crossover between arts and politics.
The Curious Case of Usable Privacy: Challenges, Solutions, and Prospects (Synthesis Lectures on Information Security, Privacy, and Trust)
by Simone Fischer-Hübner Farzaneh KaregarThis book journeys through the labyrinth of usable privacy, a place where the interplay of privacy and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) reveals a myriad of challenges, solutions, and new possibilities. Establishing a solid understanding of usable privacy research, practices, and challenges, the book illuminates for readers the often shadowy corridors of such a multifaceted domain and offers guidelines and solutions to successfully traverse the challenging maze. The book does not simply focus on data protection or legislative frameworks but also on what it takes for privacy to be safeguarded, understood, embraced, and easily practiced by all. It begins with a thorough exploration of the background of privacy tools and technologies, the evolution of privacy rules and regulations, and the backdrop upon which this narrative unfolds. After establishing this context, its next important focus is the current state and future directions of the field, including thefrontiers of usable privacy research in relation to the Internet of Things (IoT), usability of PETs, and usable privacy for UX and software developers. The book also considers the often-overlooked privacy narratives of marginalized communities and delves into the complexities of user-centric privacy. Readers are provided with a blueprint for addressing these hurdles and establishing pathways for a more privacy-conscious world. The text will be of interest to students studying Computer Science, Information Systems, or Law, as well as researchers and practitioners working in the fields of usable privacy, privacy by design, Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs), or HCI. All will benefit from the book’s central deliberation of a question that echoes through time and technological advancements: why does usable privacy matter?
Schlaf, Persönlichkeit und soziales Verhalten
by Zlatan KrižanDas Ziel dieses Buches ist es, einen Überblick über das begrenzte wissenschaftliche Wissen darüber zu geben, wie Schlaf mit Persönlichkeit und Sozialverhalten zusammenhängt. Dieser Sammelband begründet ein neues interdisziplinäres Forschungsfeld zum Thema Schlaf, das Schlafprozesse im Zusammenhang mit sozialem Verhalten und sozial-kognitiven Prozessen (z. B. mögen, respektieren, helfen, verletzen, erreichen) sowie individuellen Unterschieden in der Persönlichkeit (d. h. chronische Muster von Gefühlen, Gedanken und Verhalten) untersucht. Die Autoren zeigen die wichtigsten Lücken in den wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen über den Schlaf und seine Bedeutung für persönlichkeitsbezogene und soziale Prozesse auf und wollen damit die künftigen Forschungsbemühungen von Wissenschaftlern aus den Bereichen Psychologie, Biologie, Soziologie und Schlafmedizin unterstützen.Zu den diskutierten Themen gehören:· Wie der Schlaf die Emotionsregulation beeinflusst· Schlaf und Temperament in der frühen Kindheit· Dynamik zwischen Schlaf und Selbstbeherrschung· Auswirkungen auf die Aufgabenerfüllung· Einfluss des Schlafs auf soziale Kognition und Urteilsvermögen'Schlaf, Persönlichkeit und soziales Verhalten' untersucht umfassend die Rolle des Schlafs bei Emotionen und Motivation, die Auswirkungen des Schlafs auf sozial-kognitive Prozesse, die Dynamik zwischen Schlaf und dem Funktionieren von Beziehungen, die Bedeutung des Schlafs für das Gruppenverhalten, die Rolle von Persönlichkeitsunterschieden beim Schlaf und die Rolle des Schlafs bei der Persönlichkeits- und Sozialentwicklung. Forscher aus den Bereichen Persönlichkeits- und Sozialpsychologie, Gesundheitspsychologie und Neurologie werden in diesem aufschlussreichen Buch die erheblichen Lücken im wissenschaftlichen Verständnis des Schlafs aufdecken.
