Critical Mapping for Sustainable Food Design : Food Security, Equity, and Justice
This book introduces critical mapping as a problematizing, reflective approach for analyzing systemic societal problems like food, scoping out existing solutions, and finding opportunities for sustainable design intervention. This book puts forth a framework entitled "wicked solutions" that can be applied to determine issues that designers should address to make real differences in the world and yield sustainable change.The book assesses the current role of design in attaining food security in a sustainable, equitable, and just manner.Accomplishing this goal is not simple; if it was, it would not be called a wicked problem.But this book shows how a particular repertoire of design tools can be deployed to find solutions and strategize the development of novel outcomes within a complex and interconnected terrain.To address the wicked problem of food insecurity, inequity, and injustice, this book highlights 73 peer-reviewed design outcomes that epitomize sustainable food design.This includes local and regional sustainable design outcomes funded or supported by public or private institutions and local and widespread design outcomes created by citizens.In doing so, this book sets the stage for an evidence-driven and evidence-informed design future that facilitates the designers’ visualization of wicked solutions to complex social problems, such as food insecurity.Drawing on an array of case studies from across the world, from urban rooftop farms and community cookers to mobile apps and food design cards, this book provides vitally important information about existing sustainable food design outcomes in a way that is organized, accessible, and informative. This book will be of great interest to academics and professionals working in the field of design and sustainable food systems.Students interested in learning about food and sustainability from across design studies, food studies, innovation and entrepreneurship, urban studies, and global development will also find this book of great use.

Finance and Security : Global Vulnerabilities, Threats and Responses
The global financial sector is increasingly vulnerable to penetration by criminal money-launderers, terrorist financiers, and proliferators of weapons of mass destruction.At the same time, it offers instruments that can be usefully employed to pursue foreign and security policy objectives.It is thus hardly surprising that finance has emerged as an arena of intense competition, if not conflict, between those seeking to exploit or attack this vital element of state power and those tasked with defending its integrity or harnessing it for legal purposes. Navias assesses the key threats to financial systems and shows how the public and private sectors are co-operating to contain them.He analyses the main characteristics of criminal money-laundering and terrorist financing, and reviews major multilateral and national regimes locked in the perpetual battle to shore up the financial sector against these constantly evolving security challenges.He also considers the uses of finance in support of key sanctions, counter-proliferation, and arms embargo policies. Uniquely, Finance and Security views these financial threats and weapons through a security and war studies prism.It will be equally invaluable to scholars of security and international relations and to professionals working in the legal, banking and compliance professions.

How does the security barrier in the store with alarm and security technology work?
The security barrier in a store with alarm and security technology typically consists of sensors placed at entry and exit points. These sensors detect when an item with a security tag passes through them without being deactivated at the checkout. When this happens, the sensors trigger an alarm to alert store staff of a potential theft. Additionally, the security tags on items are usually deactivated at the checkout counter using a special device, allowing customers to leave the store without setting off the alarm.

Should public places be monitored by cameras and security technology?
Public places should be monitored by cameras and security technology to ensure the safety and security of the people using those spaces. These measures can help deter criminal activity, provide evidence in the event of a crime, and help law enforcement respond more effectively to incidents. However, it is important to balance the use of surveillance technology with privacy concerns and ensure that it is used responsibly and ethically. Additionally, there should be transparency and oversight in the use of surveillance technology to prevent abuse and protect civil liberties.

Information Technology Security and Risk Management : Inductive Cases for Information Security
Information Technology Security and Risk Management: Inductive Cases for Information Security is a compilation of cases that examine recent developments and issues that are relevant to IT security managers, risk assessment and management, and the broader topic of IT security in the 21st century.As the title indicates, the cases are written and analyzed inductively, which is to say that the authors allowed the cases to speak for themselves, and lead where they would, rather than approach the cases with presuppositions or assumptions regarding what the case should be "about".In other words, the authors were given broad discretion to interpret a case in the most interesting and relevant manner possible; any given case may be "about" many things, depending on the perspective adopted by the reader, and many different lessons may be learned.The inductive approach of these cases reflects the design philosophy of the advanced IT Security and Risk Management course we teach on the topic here at the University of Canterbury, where all discussions begin with the analysis of a specific case of interest and follow the most interesting and salient aspects of the case in evidence.In our course, the presentation, analysis, and discussion of a case are followed by a brief lecture to address the conceptual, theoretical, and scholarly dimensions arising from the case.The inductive approach to teaching and learning also comes with a huge advantage – the students seem to love it, and often express their appreciation for a fresh and engaging approach to learning the sometimes-highly-technical content of an IT security course.As instructors, we are also grateful for the break in the typical scripted "chalk-and-talk" of a university lecture afforded by the spontaneity of the inductive approach. We were motivated to prepare this text because there seems to be no other book of cases dedicated to the topic of IT security and risk management, and because of our own success and satisfaction with inductive teaching and learning.We believe this book would be useful either for an inductive, case-based course like our own or as a body of cases to be discussed in a more traditional course with a deductive approach.There are abstracts and keywords for each case, which would help instructors select cases for discussions on specific topics, and PowerPoint slides are available as a guide for discussion about a given case.
