Cultural neuroscience and global mental health is an
interdisciplinary field of study that integrates theoretical,
methodological, and empirical approaches in cultural neuroscience
to address the major challenges in global mental health. The field
is concerned with identifying the root causes, risks, and
preventative factors in global mental health, with a view to
improving and achieving health equity for all people across the
world. The Oxford Handbook of Cultural Neuroscience and Global
Mental Health is the first ever comprehensive overview of this
field. It explores how culture can influence the neurobiological
mechanisms underlying mental health. The book is divided into 5
parts: Part I introduces theoretical foundations in cultural
neuroscience and global mental health. The second part provides
reviews investigating the etiology of mental health disorders
across cultures. Part 3 discusses the societal and environmental
influences that affect prevention and early intervention in global
mental health. This is followed by a section examining strategies
for the improvement of treatment and expansion of access to care in
global mental health. The book ends with a review of the cultural
and socioeconomic factors that affect the prevalence of mental
disorders across ethnic groups. The book will be an essential
educational resource for both training and practising mental health
professionals, in addition to those in the fields of cultural
neuroscience and public health.
Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop describes the change from
the current Internet, which focuses on the democratization of
information independent of location or time, to the Tactile
Internet, which democratizes skills to promote equity that is
independent of age, gender, sociocultural background or physical
limitations. The book promotes the concept of the Tactile Internet
for remote closed-loop human-machine interaction and describes the
main challenges and key technologies. Current standardization
activities in the field for IEEE and IETF are also described,
making this book an ideal resource for researchers, graduate
students, and industry R&D engineers in communications
engineering, electronic engineering, and computer engineering.
