Cyber security is a key focus in the modern world as more private
information is stored and saved online. In order to ensure vital
information is protected from various cyber threats, it is
essential to develop a thorough understanding of technologies that
can address cyber security challenges. Artificial intelligence has
been recognized as an important technology that can be employed
successfully in the cyber security sector. Due to this, further
study on the potential uses of artificial intelligence is required.
The Handbook of Research on Cyber Security Intelligence and

This edited book is a comprehensive collection of scientific
research on different plants under drought and salt stress
conditions. The main focus of this book is to elaborate on the
mechanisms being operative in plants under stress and how various
biological factors mitigate the adverse effects for better plant
productivity. This book covers all physiological, biochemical, and
molecular mechanisms operating under drought and saline
stresses. The current status and impact of drought and
salinity on various crop plants have been elaborated on in
different chapters. Agricultural lands are either turning barren or
becoming more saline and drought-prone with increasing
temperatures, decreasing water tables, untimely rainfall, and other
environmental factors. In India, salt-affected soils occupy an area
of about 6.73 million ha of which saline and sodic soils constitute
roughly 40 and 60%, respectively. All these factors individually or
cumulatively, affect the plant growth and development and hence,
the crop productivity with the monetary loss. The inbuilt plant's
ability with modified/acclimatized mechanisms has been described in
various chapters with step-wise descriptions. The role of various
plant growth-promoting agents including nano-particles,
micro-organisms, metabolites or phytohormones, etc in mitigating
adverse effects of drought and salinity has been explained
precisely. Updated information on the use of speed breeding,
proteomics, epigenetics, and transcriptomics in different crops
along with high throughput technologies is included for the
cross-talk of various network mechanisms. This book is
helpful for the readers in knowing salinity and drought through the
physiological, biochemical and genetic, and molecular levels to
understand plant behaviour under stress conditions. Also, the book
serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and
graduate students of agriculture, plant physiology, biochemistry,
forestry, and environmental sciences. National and international
agricultural scientists and policymakers will also find this to be
a useful read.
Empirical and anecdotal data suggests that education technology
increases access to learning, democratizes knowledge, and increases
the breadth and richness of the learning experience. Due to this,
there is a need to disseminate awareness and information about the
role of emotional intelligence and technology from various
dimensions to help students and teachers maintain the quality of
e-learning and emotional well-being. Technology-Driven E-Learning
Pedagogy Through Emotional Intelligence provides updated research
perspectives focusing on the relationship between e-learning
pedagogy, technology, and emotional intelligence. Covering key
topics such as blended learning, resilience, social awareness, and
empathy, this reference work is ideal for administrators,
researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors,
and students.
This book is about the use of technology/artificial intelligence in
the areas of human behavior and psychology, health and nutrition,
and fitness and sports. Everybody has his/her own lifestyle but may
not necessarily be aware of what constitutes a healthy lifestyle.
Knowledge gained from the Internet may be scattered and inaccurate
and, if adhered to, may lead to loss of life. The COVID-19 pandemic
increased people's awareness of the need for a healthy lifestyle
but how to adopt a healthy lifestyle is something to be clarified
since every individual is different (body type, situation, etc.),
and hence, their needs will be different as well. This book
addresses such questions and explores how the use of technology in
the areas mentioned above can enable each individual to easily
achieve a healthy lifestyle.
'A bracingly honest, galvanising and necessarily provocative look
at "self-care" through a political and feminist lens' Pandora Sykes
'This isn't just another self-help book. A clear-eyed look at the
way social systems drain our energy, and a concrete set of
principles to rely on as we declare independence from these
systems' Martha Beck 'A helpful and timely book that every woman
needs' Julia Samuel What does self-care really mean? From puppy
yoga to gua shas, we are promised pastel-coloured 'quick fixes' to
long-term social problems that cause burnout and stress. But the
truth is you can't meditate your way out of a 40-hour work week
with no childcare. So when these promises prove empty, we are made
to feel like failures within a system that is failing us. Now,
psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin offers a sustainable practice for
real self-care. Based on her clinical and personal experience, Dr
Lakshmin's revolutionary framework reimagines self-care as an
ongoing, internal process that involves making difficult decisions
in line with your values, putting boundaries in place, treating
yourself with compassion and asserting your power. Practising it
has the power to change your relationships, your workplace, and our
broken systems. Her work serves as a wake-up call, reminding us
that wellbeing is not a product to buy, but a way to be. It is time
to let go of the illusions of wellness and start practising real
self-care. Because the result - having ownership over your life -
is nothing less than a personal and social revolution.
