Natural Interaction in Medical Training by Alberto Del Bimbo,Andrea Ferracani,Daniele Pezzatini,Lorenzo Seidenari Pdf

This book covers state of the art techniques for health personnel training using natural interfaces, immersive systems and serious games paradigms. Opening with a comprehensive introduction to the state of immersive visualisation techniques of interaction and simulation used in the industry and training research, the authors then focus on computer vision techniques used to develop realtime training systems effectively, providing recognition of actions and re-identification of persons. Principles of serious gaming applied to immersive natural interfaces are also addressed. The book culminates with the presentation of two prototypes of immersive systems for natural interaction, that the authors have developed and tested for the training of medical personnel. These prototypes use the principles and the technologies described in the first part of the book. Natural Interaction in Medical Training offers a unique point of view from medical professionals and computer engineers.

e-Services by Alfredo M. Ronchi Pdf

This book explores various e-Services related to health, learning, culture, media and the news, and the influences the Web and related technologies have had and continue to have in each of these areas, both on service providers and service users. It provides insights into the main technological and human issues regarding healthcare, aging population, recent challenges in the educational environment, the impact of digital technologies on culture and heritage, cultural diversity, freedom of expression, intellectual property, fake news and, last but not least, public opinion manipulation and ethical issues. Its main aim is to bridge the gap between technological solutions, their successful implementation, and the fruitful utilization of the main set of e-Services mostly delivered by private or public companies. Today, various parameters actively influence e-Services’ success or failure: cultural aspects, organisational and privacy issues, bureaucracy and workflows, infrastructure and technology in general, user habits, literacy, capacity or merely interaction design. This includes having a significant population of citizens who are willing and able to adopt and use online services; as well as developing the managerial and technical capability to implement applications that meet citizens’ needs. This book helps readers understand the mutual dependencies involved; further, a selection of success stories and failures, duly commented on, enables readers to identify the right approach to innovation in areas that offer the opportunity to reach a wide audience with minimal effort. With its balanced humanistic and technological approach, the book mainly targets public authorities, decision-makers, stakeholders, solution developers, and graduate students.

To facilitate quick learning, the cases are presented using a uniform template, guiding the reader from clinical evaluation and preoperative planning, through the decision-making process, to the surgical procedure and the final outcome. At the end of each case, the editor invites the surgeon to answer specific questions in order to further elucidate crucial issues with reference to current evidence. The book is divided into four sections: conservative hip surgery, primary hip arthroplasty, complex hip arthroplasty, and revision arthroplasty. It will be of value across the world to specialist hip surgeons and surgeons in training who are interested in hip surgery.

The Russia-Ukraine War and Its Consequences on the Geopolitics of the World by Chitadze, Nika Pdf

Geopolitics is a concept that shapes shifts following the socio-political and economic changes made within or in neighboring states. Usually, the popularity in geopolitics is motivated by victory in war, which binds the nation, revives the national culture, and promotes the spiritual and territorial expansion into neighboring states. However, the defeat in war can be motivating as well, as the defeat catalyzes the creation and dissemination of geo-political theories. In the modern era, further study on the Russia-Ukraine war in relation to geopolitics must be considered. The Russia-Ukraine War and Its Consequences on the Geopolitics of the World analyzes the main geopolitical theories and discusses possible geopolitical, economic, military, security, and information consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war. The book also reviews the attitude of the main geopolitical players in the world toward the war and their foreign policy and national security priorities. Covering key topics such as democracy, international security, and geopolitical interests, this premier reference source is ideal for government officials, policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
