This edited volume introduces dynamic approaches to the study of Southeast Asia's environmental diversity from different disciplinary perspectives at the interface between the natural and social sciences. It brings together research on the region's environmental resource use and shared ecological challenges in the context of present day globalization to offer insights for possible future directions. The book introduces unique approaches to the study of Southeast Asia's environmental changes and resource management under the influence of intensifying economic change in the region. It also examines the slow erosion of Southeast Asia's rich environment and addresses serious issues such as the decrease in biodiversity and tropical forests, and the degradation of peat lands. At the same time, it discusses the social issues that are tied to energy-dependent growth and have intensified over the last two decades. It also analyzes the new roadmaps being created to protect, conserve, and manage the environment. By investigating the many ecological issues surrounding us, the volume brings to light the constant struggles we face while trying to develop a more inclusive and equitable approach to natural resources governance. This volume is relevant for students, academics and researchers who have an interest in the Southeast Asian environment and the way in which we use and interact with it.

This book constitutes the jointly proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Edge Processing in the IoT Era, Edge-IoT 2022, and the 4th International Conference on Smart Governance for Sustainable Smart Cities, SmartGov 2022. Both conferences were held online due to COVID-19 pandemic in November 2022, held as virtual events, in November 16-18, 2022. The 12 full papers were selected from 31 submissions. SmartGov 2022 was to promote the development of secure and sustainable smart cities with smart governance, while the theme of Edge-IoT 2022 was to address the decentralization of contemporary processing paradigms, notably Edge processing, focusing on the increasing demand for intelligent processing at the edge of the network, which is paving the way to the Intelligent IoT Era�. Both the EAI SmartGov 2022 and EAI Edge-IoT 2022 conferences were co-located with EAI SmartCity360 international convention. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Edge-IoT Applications; IoT Architectures, Forecasting and Adversarial Training; Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for smart governance; and Smart Transportation.

The emergent Indignados movement in Spain is transforming Spanish politics and society, heralding an end to the Transition since Franco, and responding to multiple legitimation crises in Spain and in Europe. This movement is rooted in the Stop Evictions campaign led by Ada Colau in Barcelona following the bursting of the subprime mortgage bubble in the wake of the 2008; as well as the 15-M Movement arising in May 2011 Puerta del Sol of Madrid, symbolizing the Indignez-Vous outrage of a lost generation.

The peanut is an important crop grown on over 21 million hectares worldwide. Although peanuts have had an adverse image due to their content in saturated fatty acids, it is important to mention they also are an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals for human nutrition. In addition, peanuts contain relevant bioactive constituents that can provide a wide range of health benefits. Unfortunately, peanuts are also one, if not, the most allergenic vegetables and the most common food-related cause of IgE-mediated allergic reactions, mainly in westernised countries. This book will present an up-to-date overview regarding peanut composition, physical characteristics and bioactive properties. The second part will cover peanut and legume allergen characteristics, together with their prevalence. In addition, the therapeutic strategies to treat peanut allergy and the problem regarding the cross-reactivity of peanut and other allergens will be discussed.
