Technology Innovation for Sustainable Development of Healthcare and Disaster Management (Disaster Risk Reduction)
by Pradeep Kumar Ray Rajib Shaw Yasuhiro Soshino Anirban Dutta Teuku Aulia GeumpanaThis book provides holistic case studies of technology development, examples of its complexities and an in-depth analysis from the perspective of information infrastructure. Natural disasters such as cyclones, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes have disrupted the lives of people all over the world, particularly in Asia. In order to manage disasters and mitigate the damage, many technologies—surveillance systems, for instance—have been developed. An example of natural disaster is the ongoing devastation caused by COVID-19, which highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of disaster management, including agriculture, healthcare, economics, environment, engineering and technology. The pandemic has also led to the development and uptake of technologies such as vaccine development, new biotechnological innovations, telemedicine, the Internet of things (IoT) and mobile health (mHealth) all over the world. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) programme suggests an integrated approach to their development. For example, healthcare needs to be addressed in holistic perspectives including education, environment, economy and regulations, among others. These goals create challenges in the development, validation and deployment of new technology, with this book presenting a discussion of innovations in sustainable development of healthcare in the multi-disciplinary context of SDGs.

The Technology of Orgasm: "Hysteria," the Vibrator, and Women's Sexual Satisfaction (Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Technology #24)
by Rachel P. MainesWinner of the Herbert Feis Prize from the American Historical Association Winner of the AFGAGMAS Biennial Book AwardWinner of the Science Award from the American Foundation for Gender and Genital Medicine From the time of Hippocrates until the 1920s, massaging female patients to orgasm was a staple of medical practice among Western physicians in the treatment of "hysteria," an ailment once considered both common and chronic in women. Doctors loathed this time-consuming procedure and for centuries relied on midwives. Later, they substituted the efficiency of mechanical devices, including the electric vibrator, invented in the 1880s. In The Technology of Orgasm, Rachel Maines offers readers a stimulating, surprising, and often humorous account of hysteria and its treatment throughout the ages, focusing on the development, use, and fall into disrepute of the vibrator as a legitimate medical device.
Technology to Support Children's Collaborative Interactions: Close Encounters of the Shared Kind
by Nicola YuillThis book explores how technology can foster interaction between children and their peers, teachers and other adults. It presents the Co-EnACT framework to explain how technology can support children to collaborate, so helping them to learn and engage enjoyably with the world, in both work and play. The focus is on children, rather than young people, but the principles of supporting interaction apply throughout all life stages. Chapters on classrooms and on autism explain principles behind using technology in ways that support, rather than obstruct, social interaction in diverse populations. Collaborative interaction involves both verbal and non-verbal behaviour and this book presents evidence from closely analysing children’s behaviour in natural settings. Examples from cutting-edge technology illustrate principles applicable to more widely-available technology. The book will be of interest to psychologists, educators, researchers in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), particularly those designing with children in mind, and practitioners working with children who want to deepen their understanding of using technology for collaboration.
Technology Transfer: Drug Product Manufacturing Process (AAPS Introductions in the Pharmaceutical Sciences #10)
by Ajay Babu Pazhayattil Sanjay Sharma Joe Paul Philip Michelle Gischewski-Silva Marzena IngramCurrently, there are no textbooks on drug product manufacturing technology transfer that incorporate the latest regulatory expectations. Recent guidance from regulatory bodies such as the US FDA, EMEA, WHO, and PIC/S has adopted the ICH Lifecycle approach harmonizing concepts across regulatory guidance. This allows organizations to align their technology transfer activities for all regulated markets. However, there is a need for consensus and direction in approaching technology transfer, particularly in understanding how to manage the scale-up effects to ensure regulatory compliance.This textbook offers technology transfer solutions and guidance to the pharmaceutical industry. The chapters provide a systematic understanding of applying the technology transfer concepts in pharmaceutical manufacturing, promoting standardization within the industry. Since Stage 1b is not specified in detail within the regulations, pharmaceutical organizations are left to determine the requirements of the stage. The need to justify the methodologies and utilization of sound science makes it more demanding. The textbook’s authors provide innovative solutions for technology transfer challenges, making it a comprehensive reference document. The approaches can be applied to both small-molecule and large-molecule drug product manufacturing segments, addressing the unmet needs of the industry.
Technosleep: Frontiers, Fictions, Futures
by Catherine Coveney Michael Greaney Eric L. Hsu Robert Meadows Simon J. WilliamsThis book draws on a variety of substantive examples from science, technology, medicine, literature, and popular culture to highlight how a new technoscientifically mediated and modified phase and form of technosleep is now in the making – in the global north at least; and to discuss the consequences for our relationships to sleep, the values we accord sleep and the very nature and normativities of sleep itself.The authors discuss how technosleep, at its simplest denotes the ‘coming together’ or ‘entanglements’ of sleep and technology and sensitizes us to various shifts in sleep–technology relations through culture, time and place. In doing so, it pays close attention to the salience and significance of these trends and transformations to date in everyday/night life, their implications for sleep inequalities and the related issues of sleep and social justice they suggest.

Tecnoceno: Algoritmos, biohackers y nuevas formas de vida
by Flavia CostaDescripción de esta era en la que, mediante la puesta en marcha de tecnologías de alta complejidad y altísimo riesgo, dejamos huellas en el mundo que exponen no solo a las poblaciones de hoy, sino a las generaciones futuras, de nuestra especie y de otras especies, en los próximos milenios. Chernóbil, la crisis financiera de 2008, los incendios en el Amazonas o la pandemia de coronavirus no son eventos aislados. Son "accidentes normales", síntomas del crecimiento y la destrucción acelerados, que, en menos de setenta años, transformaron nuestra vida y la del planeta para siempre. En Tecnoceno Flavia Costa delinea con sutileza la trama cultural y política de este mundoambiente alucinatorio cuya virtualidad se sostiene en una red material hecha de cables, satélites y edificios, por donde desfilan bioartistas, ciencia forense, organizaciones de derechos humanos, sistemas de vigilancia y empresarios transhumanistas. Y advierte sobre el papel clave que cumplen hoy las huellas: las biométricas, las comportamentales y las que dejamos en el suelo, la atmósfera y los océanos. Unas porque su capitalización ha desatado una feroz batalla geopolítica. Otras porque de ellas depende el futuro de la Tierra. «Los "accidentes normales" no son producto de una guerra, una negligencia o un sabotaje, sino que son inseparables de la productividad del sistema, de su desarrollo, de su incremento y de las contingencias que siempre se abren cuando se dispara una acción tecnológica hipercompleja hacia el futuro.» «Estamos ante una nueva cultura del yo que se exhibe ante los demás; un sujeto que, así como asume la individualidad somática, se reconoce también como emisor continuo de señales, como obra viviente, que se experimenta, se expresa, se juzga y actúa sobre sí, en parte, en el lenguaje del espectáculo. Y que se entrena como creador de su propia audiencia.»

Telecare Technologies and the Transformation of Healthcare
by Nelly OudshoornWinner of the British Sociological Association Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize, 2012. This book traces the changes in healthcare implicated in telecare technologies: information and communication technologies that enable care at a distance. What happens when healthcare moves from physical to virtual encounters between healthcare professionals and patients? What are the consequences for patients when they are expected to do things that used to be done by healthcare professionals? What actually happens when homes become electronically wired to healthcare organizations? These are urgent questions that are, however, largely absent in dominant discourses on telecare. Drawing on insights from science, technology, and human geography, this work opens up novel accounts of the adoption and use of new technologies in healthcare. Nelly Oudshoorn shows how telecare technologies participate in redefining the responsibilities and identities of patients and healthcare professionals, introducing a new category of healthcare workers, and changing the kinds of care and spaces where healthcare is situated. This book intervenes critically into discourses that celebrate the independence of place and time by showing how places and physical contacts still matter in care at a distance.
