"This highly topical book is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive theoretical and empirical discussion of the social psychology of tolerance, exploring the importance and drawbacks of a focus on tolerance and discussing how tolerance can be stimulated in a range of contexts. The importance of tolerance for a diverse, equal and open society is increasingly recognized by social and behavioural scientists. When people are aware of salient differences and disagree about the value of various viewpoints and ways of life, the question of tolerance arises"--

The rapid growth of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) usage in both commercial and defense areas has increased the requirement for advanced security schemes for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications for UASs. We define a UAS as consisting of a Control Station (CS) on the ground and at least one UAV. The pilot in the CS may have Visual Line-of-Sight (VLOS) or may not have VLOS to the airborne UAVs. The integration of UASs into the National Airspace (NAS) will rely on Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems which can support Detect-And-Avoid (DAA) and de-confliction of flight paths. In case of non-cooperative traffic, tactical (in-flight) deconfliction becomes a critical element. In Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLoS) operations, where a remote pilot is unable to visually monitor the airspace beyond LoS, Sense-and-Avoid strategies become necessary. Further, the communication devices and messages must be protected against hacking and cyber-attacks. This paper investigates several use cases for UAS-to-UAS or V2V operations for UASs and the cyber-security strategies for protecting V2V communications addressed by IEEE P1920.2, a new standard for V2V communications for UASs, currently under development. This discussion included authentication of V2V parties, protection of Remote ID, cryptographic key management, and authorization policies based on a zero-trust architecture.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common tumor type arising from several distinct etiologies. It is usually diagnosed late and is difficult to treat. This volume presents an overview of selected aspects of HCC pathogenesis, and research aimed at developing diagnostic biomarkers. It points to a number of putative therapeutic targets, including signal transduction pathways, metabolic and epigenetic alterations in tumor cells, the tumor microenvironment, the gut microbiome, and functions of immune effector cells. Given the multi-step nature of most cancers, including HCC, future drug development will most likely require combination therapies that will simultaneously target multiple steps in hepatocarcinogenesis.
