Risk Management: Health Insurance System Sustainability, Parametric Risk Transfer, and Using Accelerated Supervised Machine in Life Insurance Underwriting
type: item
description: Chapter one: Health Insurance Systems and Pathways to Sustainability with Application on the Egyptian Health Insurance System The quest for Universal Health Coverage (UHC)-ensuring all people access to quality health services without suffering financial hardship-is a central target of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (WHO, 2021). The architecture of a country's health financing system, particularly its health insurance mechanism, is the primary engine for achieving this aim. Well-designed systems promote equity, efficiency, and resilience; poorly designed ones exacerbate inequality, foster inefficiency, and are vulnerable to collapse. Globally, successful health insurance architectures, whether based on social health insurance (e.g., Germany), single-payer models (e.g., United Kingdom), or hybrid systems (e.g., Canada), share common foundational pillars. These include mandatory universal coverage, pre-pooled financing, strong regulation, and strategic purchasing. Conversely, systems that fail to institutionalize these pillars, such as the historically fragmented model in the United States, struggle with uninsurance, underinsurance, and the world’s highest health expenditures despite suboptimal outcomes. Chapter Two: Parametric Insurance as a Transformative Financial Mechanism to Bridge the Gap Between Total Economic Losses and Insured Losses and Building Canada's Economic Resilience This chapter explores parametric insurance as a transformative financial mechanism to bridge this protection gap and bolster Canada's economic resilience. By providing rapid, transparent, and predictable payouts based on objective triggers, parametric insurance can stabilize incomes, ensure business continuity, and reduce the fiscal burden on governments in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Chapter Three: Using Accelerated Supervised Machine Learning Algorithms (ASMLA) as a Tool in Life Insurance Underwriting..35 This chapter applies Accelerated Supervised Mac…

Emerging Sensing and Secure Computing in Mobile Crowdsensing System
type: item
description: Mobile Crowdsensing Systems (MCS) rely on the collaborative participation of a multitude of individuals equipped with mobile devices capable of sensing and computing. Together, they share data and extract information to observe, map, analyze, estimate, or predict various processes of common interest. This approach offers the advantage of low deployment cost and extensive geographical coverage, making it applicable in various domains such as transportation, environmental monitoring, smart cities, pervasive healthcare, and more. However, MCS systems often encounter challenges related to security, privacy, and trust. The presence of motion sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes in smartphones is crucial for monitoring our real-world surroundings. Unfortunately, these sensors also make us vulnerable to privacy invasion attacks, where leaked private information can reveal details about human behaviors, physical characteristics, and location. Furthermore, MCS systems are susceptible to side-channel attacks, where the operation of basic sensors can inadvertently leak sensitive data in mobile crowdsensing applications. While traditional cryptography methods can address some security and privacy concerns, they are not feasible for resource-constrained smart mobile or Internet of Things devices, limiting their application in MCS. In light of these issues, this chapter proposes an innovative Proactive Defense Mechanism using Blockchain based Mobile Crowdsensing (BMCS) that aims to intercept, disrupt, or deter attacks or threats before they can occur, ensuring the security of the mobile crowd sensing process. The proposed approach has been thoroughly analyzed, and the security proofs demonstrate that it significantly enhances the level of security in MCS.

Subtitle Translation and Humor Rendering in Chinese Comedy Films
type: item
description: With the deepening of globalization, Chinese comedy films have gradually become an important medium of cultural communication, and the cross-cultural transmission of humorous elements relies on subtitle translation. This book is inspired and motivated by Gideon Toury (2012) and his Descriptive Translation Studies towards the humor elements, together with the translation of film subtitles in a Chinese context. There are four films that served as the data for detailed analysis, including Goodbye Mr. Looser, Hello, Mrs. Money and Too Cool To Kill. In the process, the authors examine the correlation between the internal and external characteristics of humor translation. It is noticed that these features are also limited by language, cultural, and multimodal gaps. Confused by the manipulation of substituting and rewriting the humor in source and target subtitles, the translators thus need to focus more on the connotation, while its decline should be noticed in cultural meanings. In summary, the study employs DTS to find a more dynamic and mixed-mode approach to analyze the existing dilemma in subtitle translation: the ways to balance equivalence and functionality. The authors hope this book will pave the way for broadening the theoretical understanding of humor translation in film subtitles, especially between Chinese and English. Furthermore, scholars who are interested in cultural adaptation and multimodal analysis may find the approaches useful or relevant in their own research.

The Art of Defeating Death: A Physician’s Journey Beyond the Threshold
type: item
description: Medicine writing has to be more than just treatment algorithms and disease inventories. It’s a bold reaching for conversation itself with death. In the ensuing pages, the reader will not be presented merely with clinical case histories, but he also will receive deep insights into the existential battles fought by patients and caregivers. These moments show how fragile bodies, debilitated by chronic disease or sudden medical calamity, are slowly moved back toward equilibrium with the dogged application of scientific knowledge and inventive medical technologies. The Art of Defeating Death: A Physician’s True Stories from the Frontline of Illness is not an ode to unqualified victories, since all victory in medicine is partial and provisional. Telling Life From Death It is not so much a mystery as a chronicle of negotiations with the border between the living and the dead. — where medical science works to delay, rechannel, or temporarily resist the finality of mortality through the combined efforts of pharmaceuticals, surgical techniques, vigilant care, and human resilience. Every case comes to represent a stage at which the strands of biology, pathology and technology intertwine, but every success has behind it the relentless, sometimes silent work of doctors and nurses, families and patients themselves, all taking part in a fragile yet durable miracle. Here, death is not conceived of as a single foe but as a variety of stealthy assaults: arrhythmic silences, thrombotic cascades, septic storms, metabolic derangements or hepatic ruin. To face these is not simply to use implements of cure but to perceive the art in science, the art of when to go there, when to hold back and when to give over a certain road for another. It is in that art, honed by unrelenting uncertainty, that the possibility of defeating death acquires meaning. This book therefore stands not as a manual of certainty but as a meditation upon complexity. Each narrative seeks to reveal that medicine’s noble…

3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing: Technologies, Applications, and Future Directions
type: item
description: 3D printing or additive manufacturing has become a revolutionary technology that is expected to disrupt a lot of industries. A simple tool for rapid prototypes grew up into the manufacturing method we have now developed. It is possible to generate complex shapes and functional components almost of any kind of material, enabling a new freedom in design and manufacturing. This book is a comprehensive guide to the wide and diverse world of 3D printing and related techniques. We’ll take a look at how it’s being used in applications today, the design considerations you should keep in mind, and how this new technology could continue to evolve in the future. We want to provide you with a comprehensive overview of how 3D printing is molding sectors and the world at large. In order to really get a sense of the significance of 3D printing, one must relate it to the context of technology and history that it has emerged from. The idea of layer wise material buildup, a fundamental aspect of additive manufacturing, originated in the 1980s as an approach to rapid prototyping. Prior to 3D printing, rapid prototyping was a time-consuming and costly affair due to the drawbacks of sharp edged tools, subtractive cutting methods, the frequent human errors, manual skill requirements, and lathe notching among the subtractive cutting methods, that are detrimentally persistent in these technologies, resulting in limited efficiency and tight dimensional tolerances, a significant amount of waste material, and labour-intensiveness. 3D printing was a game changer, it allowed designers and engineers to a produce precision, intricate models straight from a digital file cutting time and costs in half. More and more, 3D printing has become part of the production shop floor and research laboratory, not to mention kitchen table. Photo One great benefit of this technology is that it can process plastics, metals, ceramics, biomaterials and food. The ability to generate custom products where there is de…

Cooperative Societies: Structure, Function, and Reforms
type: item
description: The ideology of the cooperative movement originated and developed in European countries during the 19th century. Over time, it has emerged as a universal form of organization, present across nations, with the primary aim of providing financial assistance and low-cost credit. The central objective of cooperative societies is to uplift the rural poor and the economically marginalized, thereby improving the standard of living of the working class. While many early cooperatives witnessed initial success, several eventually declined due to unorganized and chaotic methods of operation. Nevertheless, the principles of cooperation have continued to inspire reforms and innovations, reaffirming their importance in addressing socio-economic challenges. This book has been prepared with careful attention to meet the academic requirements of B.Com students from various universities in India who have chosen Cooperation as an optional subject. It covers diverse aspects related to cooperation and cooperative societies, providing both conceptual clarity and practical understanding. It is my sincere hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for students, teachers, and all those interested in gaining insight into the cooperative movement. Suggestions and constructive feedback for improving the content in future editions are warmly welcomed.

A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective on English Compounds and Portmanteau Words
type: item
description: Past research on morphological devices focused more on the processes that follow regular morphological and grammatical patterns. Such a focus has resulted in the marginalisation of several creative, productive word-building processes like acronyms, clipped words, and portmanteau (or blend) words. These morphological devices were considered non-morphological and ungrammatical because they did not fit all the necessary and sufficient conditions under the binary feature methodology used by many theories, including generative linguistics. Notwithstanding its various invaluable contributions, this methodology has left several linguistic phenomena unexplained, considering them as exceptions. The present book compares the concepts of compounding and blending. In the literature, while the former is considered a regular grammatical and morphological process, the latter is considered non-morphological and grammatically irregular. Thanks to the aforementioned limitations, the current book proposes an alternative theoretical framework that can explain all morphological processes that assist in expanding the English vocabulary. It is believed that the book has significant implications for categorising word formation processes in general, and compounds and blends in particular. We also hope that the book will also inspire more researchers from diverse domains, especially morphology, linguistic typology, and psycholinguistics, to re-evaluate the other “irregular” morphological devices. It is worth noting that the current book is informed by pioneering prototype theory studies, especially those of Rosch et al. [28,29,61], Cruse [23,24], Aitchison [27], and Lakoff [5,44]. Also, the source schemas proposed in this book were inspired by Adams’s research [7], although the approach she used differs from that of this study. Finally, sincere gratitude is extended to the School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Cancer Drug Discovery, Nanomedicine, and Precision Oncology
type: item
description: One of the most difficult medical problems of the twenty-first century is still cancer. The complexity and variety of cancer continue to restrict the efficacy of traditional methods, despite notable advancements in molecular biology, pharmacology, and clinical practice. From medication development to patient treatment, the process is drawn out, costly, and prone to failure. Simultaneously, the amount of biological data from imaging to genomics to electronic health records has increased rapidly, far exceeding human processing capabilities. In this context, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have become revolutionary forces that have the potential to completely reshape the field of cancer, rather than being supplementary tools. This book serves two purposes. Its first goal is to give a thorough but understandable summary of the present applications of AI and ML in cancer treatment and drug development. Secondly, it aims to stimulate contemplation about the future. Readers will acquire a thorough grasp of this quickly developing topic through in-depth research, case studies, and discussion of useful tools and platforms. We also look at the difficulties with clinical integration, ethics, and regulations that arise with using AI in high-stakes healthcare settings. Concerns of bias, openness, patient privacy, and safety are not incidental; rather, they are essential to creating reliable and clinically significant systems. Researchers, physicians, data scientists, students, healthcare innovators, and policymakers are among the many groups of people this book is meant towards. We hope that this volume will be a source of inspiration and guidance for those who are new to the area or actively involved in determining its future. Human knowledge and machine intelligence will need to work together as cancer therapy moves toward a more data-driven, predictive, and personalized paradigm. In order to provide faster, safer, and more individualized therapies, the …
