A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

In recent decades there has been an exponential increase in large hydroelectric plants in Brazil especially in the Amazon region. These large hydraulic structures impact the environment and the lives of people living in the places where they settle and require a special type of water governance. The dictatorial regime (1964-1985) created a standard for the construction of these great structures through an institutional and legal framework which benefited the Brazilian business elite but also through the creation of a popular imagination which shows itself lasting progress on the country's progress and development. The suspension of security the fragility of institutional environmental structures the disrespect for indigenous reserves the lack of clarity about the concept of affected population and the non-payment of fair compensation were identified as one of the main challenges for a democratic water governance in the country. In the late 1970s the Dam-Affected Movement (MAB) began its organization and is also studied in this research. The study is an important and insightful academic contribution to the understanding of the main bottlenecks of effective water governance in Brazil. | A Ditadura Militar e a Governança da Água no Brasil (The Military Dictatorship and Water Governance in Brazil) Ideologia Poderes Político-E

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Searching for a needle in a haystack is an important task in several contexts of data analysis and decision-making. Examples include identifying the insider threat within an organization the prediction of failure in industrial production or pinpointing the unique signature of a solo perpetrator such as a school shooter or a lone wolf terrorist. It is a challenge different from that of identifying a rare event (e. g. a tsunami) or detecting anomalies because the needle is not easily distinguished from the haystack. This challenging context is imbued with particular difficulties from the lack of sufficient data to train a machine learning model through the identification of the relevant features and up to the painful price of false alarms which might cause us to question the relevance of machine learning solutions even if they perform well according to common performance criteria. In this book Prof. Neuman approaches the problem of finding the needle by specifically focusing on the human factor from solo perpetrators to insider threats. Providing for the first time a deep critical multidimensional and methodological analysis of the challenge the book offers data scientists and decision makers a deep scientific foundational approach combined with a pragmatic practical approach that may guide them in searching for a needle in a haystack. | How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Swarm Intelligence Algorithms A Tutorial

Swarm Intelligence Algorithms A Tutorial

Swarm intelligence algorithms are a form of nature-based optimization algorithms. Their main inspiration is the cooperative behavior of animals within specific communities. This can be described as simple behaviors of individuals along with the mechanisms for sharing knowledge between them resulting in the complex behavior of the entire community. Examples of such behavior can be found in ant colonies bee swarms schools of fish or bird flocks. Swarm intelligence algorithms are used to solve difficult optimization problems for which there are no exact solving methods or the use of such methods is impossible e. g. due to unacceptable computational time. This book thoroughly presents the basics of 24 algorithms selected from the entire family of swarm intelligence algorithms. Each chapter deals with a different algorithm describing it in detail and showing how it works in the form of a pseudo-code. In addition the source code is provided for each algorithm in Matlab and in the C ++ programming language. In order to better understand how each swarm intelligence algorithm works a simple numerical example is included in each chapter which guides the reader step by step through the individual stages of the algorithm showing all necessary calculations. This book can provide the basics for understanding how swarm intelligence algorithms work and aid readers in programming these algorithms on their own to solve various computational problems. This book should also be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying nature-based optimization algorithms and can be a helpful tool for learning the basics of these algorithms efficiently and quickly. In addition it can be a useful source of knowledge for scientists working in the field of artificial intelligence as well as for engineers interested in using this type of algorithms in their work. If the reader already has basic knowledge of swarm intelligence algorithms we recommend the book: Swarm Intelligence Algorithms: Modifications and Applications (Edited by A. Slowik CRC Press 2020) which describes selected modifications of these algorithms and presents their practical applications. | Swarm Intelligence Algorithms A Tutorial

AI Machine Learning and Deep Learning A Security Perspective

AI Machine Learning and Deep Learning A Security Perspective

Today Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning/ Deep Learning (ML/DL) have become the hottest areas in information technology. In our society many intelligent devices rely on AI/ML/DL algorithms/tools for smart operations. Although AI/ML/DL algorithms and tools have been used in many internet applications and electronic devices they are also vulnerable to various attacks and threats. AI parameters may be distorted by the internal attacker; the DL input samples may be polluted by adversaries; the ML model may be misled by changing the classification boundary among many other attacks and threats. Such attacks can make AI products dangerous to use. While this discussion focuses on security issues in AI/ML/DL-based systems (i. e. securing the intelligent systems themselves) AI/ML/DL models and algorithms can actually also be used for cyber security (i. e. the use of AI to achieve security). Since AI/ML/DL security is a newly emergent field many researchers and industry professionals cannot yet obtain a detailed comprehensive understanding of this area. This book aims to provide a complete picture of the challenges and solutions to related security issues in various applications. It explains how different attacks can occur in advanced AI tools and the challenges of overcoming those attacks. Then the book describes many sets of promising solutions to achieve AI security and privacy. The features of this book have seven aspects: This is the first book to explain various practical attacks and countermeasures to AI systems Both quantitative math models and practical security implementations are provided It covers both securing the AI system itself and using AI to achieve security It covers all the advanced AI attacks and threats with detailed attack models It provides multiple solution spaces to the security and privacy issues in AI tools The differences among ML and DL security and privacy issues are explained Many practical security applications are covered | AI Machine Learning and Deep Learning A Security Perspective
