Horror in which a clinical trial at a remote facility goes terribly
wrong. Among those who sign up to test ProSyntrex's latest drug
Pro9 are Adam (Aneurin Barnard), Joni (Alex Reid), Carmen (Skye
Lourie) and Jed (Oliver Coleman). The trial is highly secret, with
no-one, including the staff who administer injections, aware of who
is receiving the drug and who is in the placebo group. Shortly
after the trial begins it becomes clear that something has gone
wrong. There are unexplained disappearances, bizarre silhouettes
and screaming from behind locked doors. Locked inside the facility,
unaware of the true nature of events, the surviving patients and
staff must band together to try and find a way out of the
nightmare.

Sustainable tourism should not be limited to environmental
preservation; the sociocultural and economic sides should also be
considered. There is a need for an integrated approach recognizing
the resources, facilities, and infrastructures that are
interrelated with the social, cultural, and natural environment.
Community development becomes a reality only by merging the
principles of sustainability with growth objectives. Even though
investments in environmentally friendly infrastructure and related
services are fundamental, there is a need to address gender
inequalities, exploitation, and commercialization of culture.
Further, there is a need to prioritize the link between tourism and
poverty reduction. Inclusive Community Development Through Tourism
and Hospitality Practices explores various viable strategies for
the adoption of sustainable approaches that can eventually boost
economic growth and poverty reduction all over the world. Covering
topics such as international tourism, sustainable development, and
tourism reinforcement, this premier reference source is an
excellent resource for business leaders and managers, students and
educators of higher education, community leaders, government
officials, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
Proponents applaud location-based advertising as a way to bridge
the gap between online and physical customer experiences and
promote impulse purchases. Skeptics question whether location-based
marketing (LBM) will cause consumer burn-out and violate consumer
privacy if the data that is gathered through LBM is not used,
shared, protected, and stored properly. Companies engaging in LBM
should take measures to ensure customer privacy through stringent
opt-in policies and security safeguards. Enhancing Customer
Engagement Through Location-Based Marketing presents the main
techniques of geo-marketing, introduces the idea of a
"geo-marketing mix," and develops the mobile marketing concept
based on geolocation techniques. Covering key topics such as data
management, augmented location, and mobile targeting, this premier
reference source is ideal for business owners, entrepreneurs,
managers, marketers, policymakers, researchers, academicians,
practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.
Entrepreneurs and information technology have formed the backbone
of the global economy. The growing use of information technology in

Delving into the past and present of various secessionist movements
in Northeast India, political conflict in Chittagong Hill
Tracts in Bangladesh, a political movement for autonomy in
Darjeeling hills in Eastern India, and the Rohingya migration
crisis affecting India and Bangladesh, this book examines the
volatile co-existence of competing population groups in
Eastern South Asia. Through the conceptual lens of the
‘home’ and feeling of ‘homeland’ in Eastern South
Asia, the authors seek answers to three complex but
interrelated questions: why is Eastern South Asia facing so
many political movements and conflicts? How have the
political movements affected the region and people? Why is the
number of migrants in this region so high? Answers to these
questions are vital to those studying South Asia and
interested in understanding this region.
More individuals than ever are utilizing internet technologies to
work from home, teach and learn, shop, interact with peers, review
medical records, and more. While it is certainly convenient to
conduct such tasks via the internet, this increased internet
presence has also led to a rise in the search and availability of
personal information, which in turn is resulting in more
cyber-attacks, privacy breaches, and information leaks. Cyber
criminals are using such opportunities to attack governments,
organizations, and individuals, making it necessary to anticipate,
assess, and mitigate privacy and security threats during this
infodemic. The Handbook of Research on Technical, Privacy, and
Security Challenges in a Modern World discusses the design and
development of different machine learning systems, including next
generation applications, in order to mitigate cyber-attacks and
address security challenges in everyday technologies. It further
explores select methods and algorithms of learning for implementing
better security methods in fields such as business and healthcare.
It recognizes the future of privacy and the importance of
preserving data through recommended practice, feedback loops, and
smart agents. Covering topics such as face mask detection, gesture
recognition, and botnet attacks and detection, this major reference
work is a dynamic resource for medical professionals, healthcare
administrators, government officials, business executives and
managers, IT managers, students and faculty of higher education,
librarians, researchers, and academicians.

(Riseborough) wakes up one morning to find her husband has
mysteriously disappeared along with all the other men in the
village. Then, as they wait for news, a German patrol arrives in
their valley on an undisclosed mission. During the harsh winter
that follows, the two groups are forced to pull together to survive
the last days of the war. Cut off from the conflict around them,
both the villagers and the Nazis find the lines between
collaboration, duty, occupation and survival becoming less defined
as time goes on...
