In her previous life, her beloved Elementary Scholar had decided to give up on her after getting her title. In her previous life, the old granny that she served meekly beat and scolded her. Seeing that she blocked her son's future, she got someone to chase her out of the Liu family. In the end, she was frozen to death by the roadside. The heavens are merciful, living a new life. Bai Jin swore she would protect this family, filial piety to her parents, love her brother dearly, stay away from the scum of men and women, and bring her family back to prosperity.
The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted many areas of our lives, including mental health. Lockdown and physical distancing measures have been one major effective intervention to counter the spread of the virus and reduce the impact of the disease. However, they have negatively impacted mental well-being and behaviors, either triggering the onset of new psychiatric symptoms and diseases or amplifying pre-existing ones. The pandemic and lockdown measures have also been associated with reduced access to treatment and facilities all over the world, further worsening mental health outcomes. The impact on mental health, although universal, varied between nations. Cultural and societal variables, including norms, values, religion, and stigma have played an important role in shaping COVID-19-related mental health symptoms, including anxiety, depression, grief, psychosis, and addiction. These sociocultural factors have also molded how mental health interventions are tailored and provided. Highlighting the intertwining relationship between the pandemic, mental health, and sociocultural factors are essential to managing emerging mental health symptoms adequately.
The Fourth International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications (ADMA 2008) will be held in Chengdu, China, followed by the last three successful ADMA conferences (2005 in Wu Han, 2006 in Xi'an, and 2007 Harbin). Our major goal of ADMA is to bring together the experts on data mining in the world, and to provide a leading international forum for the dissemination of original research results in data mining, including applications, algorithms, software and systems, and different disciplines with potential applications of data mining. This goal has been partially achieved in a very short time despite the young age of the conference, thanks to the rigorous review process insisted up...
This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Information Security and Cryptology, Inscrypt 2019, held in Nanjing, China, in December 2019. The 23 full papers presented together with 8 short papers and 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. The papers cover topics in the fields of post-quantum cryptology; AI security; systems security; side channel attacks; identity-based cryptography; signatures; cryptanalysis; authentication; and mathematical foundations.

The regular papers are organized in topical sections named: network security; system security; security practice; security protocols; cloud security; digital signature; encryption and key agreement and theory.
IT changes everyday’s life, especially in education and medicine. The goal of ITME 2013 is to further explore the theoretical and practical issues of IT in education and medicine. It also aims to foster new ideas and collaboration between researchers and practitioners.
As a fast-evolving new area, RFID security and privacy has quickly grown from a hungry infant to an energetic teenager during recent years. Much of the exciting development in this area is summarized in this book with rigorous analyses and insightful comments. In particular, a systematic overview on RFID security and privacy is provided at both the physical and network level. At the physical level, RFID security means that RFID devices should be identified with assurance in the presence of attacks, while RFID privacy requires that RFID devices should be identified without disclosure of any valuable information about the devices. At the network level, RFID security means that RFID information should be shared with authorized parties only, while RFID privacy further requires that RFID information should be shared without disclosure of valuable RFID information to any honest-but-curious server which coordinates information sharing. Not only does this book summarize the past, but it also provides new research results, especially at the network level. Several future directions are envisioned to be promising for advancing the research in this area.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Information and Communications Security, ICICS 2020, held in Copenhagen, Denmark*, in August 2020. The 33 revised full papers were carefully selected from 139 submissions. The papers focus in topics about computer and communication security, and are organized in topics of security and cryptography. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This book gathers the outcomes of the 6th ACIS International Conference on Computational Science/Intelligence & Applied Informatics (CSII 2019), which was held on May 29–31, 2019 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers and scientists, businesspeople and entrepreneurs, teachers, engineers, computer users, and students to discuss the various fields of computer science and to share their experiences and exchange new ideas and information in a meaningful way. Further, they presented research results on all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of computer and information science, and discussed the practical challenges encountered in their work and th...
