This book provides glimpses into contemporary research in
information systems & technology, learning, artificial
intelligence (AI), machine learning, and security and how it
applies to the real world, but the ideas presented also span the
domains of telehealth, computer vision, the role and use of mobile
devices, brain-computer interfaces, virtual reality, language and
image processing and big data analytics and applications. Great
research arises from asking pertinent research questions. This book
reveals some of the authors' "beautiful questions" and how they
develop the subsequent "what if" and "how" questions, offering
readers food for thought and whetting their appetite for further
research by the same authors.
Tourism is not only affected by pandemics and epidemics but also
contributes to their spread, affecting not only tourists but also
the communities in their destinations. The COVID-19 pandemic
brought about a new crisis, challenging the travel industry more
than ever before. Several studies have suggested that there will be
long-term severe effects that could continue for an unspecified
period of time across the world, both medically, socially and
economically. Pandemics and Travel: COVID-19 Impacts in the Tourism
Industry analyses the wider impacts of epidemics, diseases and
virus outbreaks on tourism and mobility. Chapters examine a wide
range of interrelated issues, including the concept of Health Risk
and Tourism, the impacts of the recent COVID-19 crisis on tourism
activity in several countries, and considers new challenges that
the tourism industry will face in the post-COVID era. This book is
essential reading for researchers seeking to understand the ongoing
effects of pandemics on travel, tourism, hospitality and health
industries.

The enhancement of the hydrophilicity of synthetic polymers is a
key requirement for many applications ranging from electronics to
functional textile manufacture. Until now, few studies about the
functionalisation of polyamide 6.6 fabrics with enzymes have been
published. This work is a significant step for the replacement of
the chemical functionalisation by the enzymatic one. It is proved
that enzymes, like cutinases or proteases, can be environmentally
friendly tools for the surface hydrolysis of polyamide 6.6. The
bulk properties of the polymers are not affected and the process
can be controlled, in face of chemical methods which are based in
an "all-or-nothing" mechanism. The practical evidences of enzymatic
hydrolysis were achieved by developing specific methodologies,
namely the determination of amines released to the bath treatment
and at the surface of the treated fabrics. Despite the several
difficulties felt through this work, the results represent a
successful prolongation of some works already published in this
area.
