Sustainable Development Disciplines for Society Breaking Down the 5Ps—People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnerships - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Shujiro Urata • Ken-Ichi Akao • Ayu Washizu خلاصه: Introduction This multidisciplinary book provides 14 problem-solving lectures on the sustainable development of people, peace, planet, and prosperity—four of the five keywords for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 4 namely people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnerships (5Ps). According to the Resolution adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations (2015, p. 2), the SDGs are intended to promote the following actions in these five areas: (1) For people: end poverty and hunger in all their forms and dimensions, as well as ensure that all human beings can fulfill their potential with dignity and equality and in a healthy environment. (2) For planet: protect it from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, by sustainably managing natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations. (3) For prosperity: ensure that all human beings enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, social, and technological progress occurs in harmony with nature. (4) For peace: foster peaceful and inclusive societies that are free from fear and violence. (5) For partnerships: mobilize the means required to implement this agenda through a revitalized Global Partnership for Sustainable Development based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focusing, in partic- ular, on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders, and all people

نویسندگان: Alessandra Battisti · Maurizio Marceca · Giuseppe Ricotta · Silvia Iorio خلاصه: In the last twenty years, processes of metropolization have seen an uncontrollable increase, registering a rate of global urbanization that—according to the “World Urbanization Prospects 2018” of the United Nations—will reach almost 70% in 2050 [1]. These data, with a global vision, underline the dynamics of the growth of settlements and cities in quantitative, qualitative, historical and social evolution. In poor countries, this growth continues to take place following models of urban aggre- gation that has been unchanged over the years and inadequate to guarantee minimum conditions of health and sanitation. This situation continues to generate a proliferation of informal areas in conditions of extreme poverty and environmental vulnerability. According to a recent UN-Habitat report, which reports how more than a billion people are forced to live in informal settlements and estimates that this number will double by 2030, slums represent a phenomenon destined to define the near futur

نویسندگان: Charles Read خلاصه: But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is past the ocean is flat again. —J. M. Keynes, ‘A Tract on Monetary Reform’ in Collected Writings of John Maynard Keynes, IV (Cambridge: CUP, 2013) p. 65.1 The quotation from John Maynard Keynes’ A Tract on Monetary Reform (1923), that ‘in the long run we are all dead’, is probably the most misunderstood in economics. It is often naively assumed to be a carpe diem defence of Keynesian deficit financing during a downturn. That is, ‘care about the recession we’re in now, rather than about the long-term cost of borrowing’; or ‘recklessly enjoy the present and let the future go hang’.2

Modern Cryptography Volume 2 A Classical Introduction to Informational and Mathematical Principle - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Zhiyong Zheng · Kun Tian · Fengxia Liu خلاصه: Preface For integer factorization and discrete logarithm calculation, P.W.Shor published an effective quantum calculation in SIAM Journal on Computing in 1997, which is called the Shor algorithm in academic circles. Classical public key cryptosystems such as RSA, ECC and so on could not resist the attack of the Shor algorithm, so the major security risks of public key cryptosystems are completely exposed to the Shor algorithm and quantum computer. In the past 20 years, the rise and development of post-quantum cryptography have close relation with the lattice cryptosystems. The academic community believes that the hard problems on lattice, such as the shortest vector problem (SVP), the continuous shortest vector problem (SIVP) and the determination of the shortest vector problem (GapSVP) can resist quantum computing effectively, so the public key cryptosystems based on the hard problems on lattice become the core theory and technology of the post-quantum cryptography. At present, there are six kinds of published post-quantum cryptosystems: 1. Ajtai-Dwork cryptosystem (1997). Ajtai constructed a collision-resistant Hash function by the circulant matrix and ideal matrix, and converted the collision point into the shortest vector problem on q-ary integer lattice. Ajtai first proposed the concept of random lattice (Gauss lattice) in 1996, and established the famous reduction principle ‘from the worst case to the average case’. The security of Ajtai-Dwork cryptosystem could be fully proved by this reduction principle. 2. GGH/HNF cryptosystem (1997). In 1997, Goldereich, Goldwasser and Halevi constructed a public key cryptosystem based on the closest vector problem on the q-ary integer lattice, which was further improved by Micciancio using the Hermite normal basis in 2005. The idea of Micciancio is very simple. Since the HNF basis of any lattice can be easily computed from its generated matrix, the GGH cryptosystem uses the HNF basis as the public key directly. 3. NTRU cryptosystem (1998). Number Theory Research Unit (NTRU) is a quantum-resistant computing public key cryptosystem developed by J. Hoffstein, J. Pipher and J. H. Silverman in Brown University in 1998, which has become the most attractive post-quantum cryptosystem due to its simple algorithm, fas

Pandemic and the City - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Mehmet Güney Celbi ̧s · Karima Kourtit · Peter Nijkamp خلاصه: The recent COVID-19 experience has left deep traces in the urban fabric and has prompted a re-orientation regarding the future of cities. Is an urban overhaul on the way? And will digital technology erode conventional urban agglomeration advan- tages? The socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic will definitely leave their mark on cities. For example, the digital divide has already become more apparent regarding equitable access to education or to virtual libraries. Furthermore, climate change will have a stronger influence on cities than in the past, given that avoiding close indoor activities or reducing dense concentrations of people may become commonplace. For example, operating restaurants with outside dining areas or organizing open-air activities which allow safe social distancing will face new challenges in cities, in particular in places where weather conditions may become less favorable

Global Cooperation and G20 Role of Finance Track - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Saon Ray · Samridhi Jain · Vasundhara Thakur · Smita Miglani خلاصه: The realisation that emerging economies were becoming systematically important dawned on the major advanced economies with the Asian and Russian financial crises of the late 1990s, and hence, the necessity was felt for a larger forum than the G7 encompassing the emerging economies. The Group of Twenty Countries (G20) was launched as a forum of the finance ministers and Central Bank governors primarily to address the challenges to international financial stability that had begun in Asia in 1997. The need was felt for a “permanent forum” for informal dialogue between developing and developed countries in the G20. The need for the inclusion of major emerging economies in discussions on the international financial system was underlined by the global financial crisis of 2008. A platform was created where leaders of systemically important countries resolved to coordinate macroeconomic policies to counteract the global financial crisis. In turn, they analysed the deeper, underlying causes of the financial crisis. This chapter introduces and motivates the book and discusses the rationale behind the formation of the G20. It discusses the background of the G20, the role of G7 and G8, and discusses the organisation of the book in the chapters that follow

Disaster Management and Information Technology Professional Response and Recovery Management in the Age of Disasters - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Hans Jochen Scholl • Eric E. Holdeman • F. Kees Boersma خلاصه: There is no one single journey when it comes to technology. For those who did not grow up as “digital natives” each has taken their own path in accepting, developing technological skills and expanding them by integrating them into their everyday work environment. Indeed, the journey continues with no hard- set destination before us. We only know that technological development and use of technology continue to expand exponentially with each passing day. What follows is therefore just one American perspective on how the profession of emergency management has adopted technologies over the decades in which the profession has existed. All the while, working daily to plan for, train, and practice for future emergency and disaster response events that are sure to come.

نویسندگان: Karl Widerquist خلاصه: CHAPTER 1 Introduction As I went walking, a sign stopped me. On the one side, it said “No Trespassing.” But on the other side, it didn’t say nothing. That side was made for you and me. ... This land was made for you and me. —Woody Guthrie, “This Land Is Your Land” as covered by Remember Alice?1 Any conception of a right—whether legal or natural—has to be recip- rocal in the relevant ethic respect. A nonreciprocal “right” is merely a privilege. A right of self-ownership at least prima facie passes this test. It amounts to saying accept my ownership of my body as I respect your ownership of your body. The highly unequal ownership system that prevails in external assets (i.e., property in anything outside of our living bodies) prima facie fails this test in at least two ways. First, it gives one group control over resources essential to everyone’s survival and therefore, forces the propertyless group to perform services for the property-owning group to survive. Second, it amounts to saying, “You should respect my property for I would respect yours if you had any.

نویسندگان: An Islamic Finance Perspective خلاصه: CHAPTER 1 Affordable Housing and Poverty “The root causes of the problem in accessing affordable housing” In Islam, paying Zakat, avoiding Riba, and spending to avoid hoarding have much more value than abstaining from fornication, theft, and drinking. The hoarding issue has not been appropriately preached since Al-Ahbari has been hoarding.1 The importance, as well as the proper imposition of Zakat, is also ignored. Case Box 1.1 showcases the clari- fication from Muhammad ( ).
