As the demand for energy harvesting and storage devices grows, this
book will be valuable for researchers to learn about the most
current achievements in this sector. Sustainable development
systems are centered on three pillars: economic development,
environmental stewardship, and social. One of the ideas established
to achieve balance between these pillars is to minimize the usage
of nonrenewable energy sources. Harvesting energy from the
surrounding environment and converting it into electrical power is
one viable solution to this problem. In recent years, there has
been a surge in the development of new energy generation
technologies such as solar, wind, and thermal energy to replace
fossil fuel energy supplies with cleaner renewable ones. Energy
harvesting systems have emerged as a key study topic and are
rapidly expanding.

Genetic disorders are far more common than is widely appreciated.
Abnormalities can range from a small mutation in a single gene to
the addition or subtraction of an entire chromosome or set of
chromosomes. Sound knowledge is required enabling individuals to be
better informed about genetic risks and reproductive options and
thus further aids in prevention of morbidity resulting from genetic
diseases and alleviation of the sufferings this would pose. The aim
here is to provide overall familiarity with Genetic Disorders, with
focus on its types and brief description on the diagnosis,
screening and treatment.
The word security has a military connotation and refers to the
activities involved in protecting or defending a country, in which
the State has a central role. This book argues that the State
provides as well as threatens security, and that by broadening the
concept of security to include both military and non-military
threats such as those related to ecological, social, economic and
political causes, a system of checks and balances can be introduced
to regulate the State.
