Book Description
In cyberspace, data flows transit massively and freely on a planetary scale. The generalization of encryption, made necessary by the need to protect these exchanges, has resulted in states and their intelligence services forgoing listening and interception missions. The latter have had to find ways to break or circumvent this protection. This book analyzes the evolution of the means of communication and interception, as well as their implementation since the advent of the telegraph in the 19th century. It presents this sensitive subject from a technical, historical and political perspective, and answers several questions: who are the actors of interception? Who has produced the recent technologies? How are the markets for interception means organized? Are the means of protecting communications infallible? Or what forms of power do interceptions confer?

Chinese Outbound Tourism
Author: Maxime Dejean
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786308908
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
China's international tourism industry is gradually rising from the ashes after three years of travel restrictions imposed in response to China's "zero Covid" policy. This gradual recovery has prompted three geographers, specialized in understanding these trends, to pool their research and present an overview of the current state of Chinese international outbound tourism. Drawing on their extensive field experience in Wuhan, Phuket, Paris and Nice, these three researchers have combined their complementary and original approaches to explore the underlying mechanisms of the flow of Chinese tourists, from their origins to the most popular destinations. Chinese Outbound Tourism highlights the particularities of the Chinese tourism system, as well as the complex dynamics at work behind the 170 million international trips made before the pandemic by nationals of this "socialist country with Chinese characteristics".

Al, Healthcare and Law
Author: Guilhem Julia
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786309092
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
In a fully digitized world and hyper-connected society, artificial intelligence (AI) is developing more and more each day. In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, it seems appropriate to examine the real or imagined progress of AI in terms of human health. Like artificial intelligence, health is a field that involves a wide range of research disciplines. In order to better define and understand these social and technical developments, Al, Healthcare and Law brings together the thoughts and analyses of doctors, lawyers, economists and computer scientists. Through a wide range of original overviews of the issues involved, the book addresses questions such as the development of telemedicine, the use of medical data, the increased human perspective or medical ethics, and takes a multi-disciplinary and accessible approach to questioning the relationship between humans and computers, between the intimate and the machine.

Linking with Nature in the Digital Age
Author: Émilie Kohlmann
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1394297572
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
The use of digital technology in our societies is growing to meet the ever-increasing challenges of data collection, raising awareness, education and understanding nature. Artificial intelligence, for example, appears to be the answer to collecting massive amounts of data on biodiversity at a global scale and facilitating citizen participation in such data collection. Linking with Nature in the Digital Age explores the reconfiguration of our relationship with nature within this digital framework. This book examines this mediated linking from three angles. Firstly, it shows how digital technology can foster the development of links to nature. Then, it describes in greater detail the materiality of these links and how they have evolved with the developments in information technology. Finally, it questions the belief in the digital as a facilitator and opens up new perspectives on our relationship with nature and the living world

Tourismophobia
Author: Jean-Christophe Gay
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1394332351
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
At the heart of “tourismophobia”, past and present, is the question of the masses and the differentiation between those who call themselves “travellers”, denying their own tourism, and tourists. Tourismophobia studies the persistence of the repulsion for them, and though their number is infinitely greater today, they are no longer socially the same and practices have radically changed. This book brings this cultural invariant out of the shadows to understand the driving forces behind this social posture, which has taken a new turn with climate change. Without overlooking the negative effects of tourism, this book is a response to the current debate on “overtourism”, which is the most contemporary form of tourismophobia.

Pesticides
Author: Nataly Botero
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786309505
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The use of pesticides is a subject of intense public debate. Whether in media, legal, terminological or political terms, the subject is migrating from a strictly agricultural universe to a global, social problem. Given the complexity of current and future issues, Pesticides provides a forum for multidisciplinary dialogue and debate on plant protection products within the humanities and social sciences. It presents reflections on the discursive and argumentative activity of the various players and arenas in the debate, and on the development and testing of consensus through controversy and counter-discourse. This book examines the scientific and communication practices of economic and industrial players (influence and lobbying), agricultural practices in terms of pesticide exposure, and the legal proceedings and initiatives of local authorities and associations. It also seeks to shed light on the media coverage of health and environmental issues surrounding pesticides.

Popularizing Science
Author: Hélène Ledouble
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 178630712X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Media coverage of scientific issues is a highly complex process. It involves making a specialized field accessible to the general public, without necessarily disseminating the associated scientific terms or knowledge. The terminological interactions between press discourses and scientific knowledge are presented within the field of agroecology. The analysis of textual data focuses on articles in the general press in French and English, devoted to plant protection practices using natural mechanisms (biological control). This book provides a terminological and cognitive overview of the issues involved in popularizing science in a rapidly expanding field, and of the challenges to be met in the constantly evolving environmental communication sector.

Heritage Traces in the Making
Author: Jean Davallon
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786309440
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
The world is full of traces of the past, ranging from things as different as monuments and factories to farms, eco-museums, landscapes, mountaineering and even woven-grass bridges. These traces must be protected and passed on to future generations. Communicational analysis shows that these traces have acquired the status of heritage by becoming communicative beings imbued with a new social life. Up until the 1970s and 1980s, granting this status was the prerogative of the state. New modes then emerged, increasingly involving social actors and the publicization of knowledge. Today, the heritage recognition of these traces also depends on interpretative schemes that circulate in society, notably through the media. Heritage Traces in the Making is aimed at anyone – researchers, professionals and students – who is interested in how heritage is created and how it evolves.

Tourist Destinations According to Stakeholder Strategies
Author: Pierre Louart
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 178630659X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Tourist destinations are subject to the strategies and interactions of the people who reside in them, with complementary and sometimes conflicting interests. To ensure that these destinations remain competitive, Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) are tasked with stimulating cooperation between all partners (independents, organizations, networks). Tourist Destinations According to Stakeholder Strategies is based on a series of case studies that are analyzed and discussed from a dual geographical and managerial perspective. This enables us to extract operational typologies and propose recommendations for actors in the tourism sector. The authors have opted for an original and innovative name for the object of study, "Localized Tourism Systems" (LTS), thus emphasizing the triple aim of territorialization, tourism activities and actors that interact together in collective projects.
