Internet of things (IoT) is the connection and communication of physical objects (smart devices) over the internet. In this recent age, people’s daily lives are dependent on the internet through their smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs, micro-controllers, Smart Tags, computers, laptops, and cars to name a few. This book discusses different ways to create a better IoT network and/or IoT platforms to improve the efficiency and quality of these products and subsequently their users'' lives. In addition, this book provides future research directions in energy, industry, and healthcare, and explores the different applications of IoT and its associated technologies. It provides an overview and explanation of the software architecture, middleware, data processing and data management as well as security, sensors, actuators and algorithms used to create a working IoT platform. The editors then go on to examine IoT networks and platforms as they relate to energy industry including, energy efficiency and management, intelligent energy management, smart energy through blockchain and energy-efficient/aware routing/scheduling challenges and issues. They then explore IoT as it applies to healthcare including biomedical image and signal analysis and disease prediction and diagnosis. Finally the editors examine the prospects and applications of IoT for industry through the concepts of smart industry, including architecture, blockchain, and Industry 4.0. This book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and industry professionals working on IoT applications and infrastructure.

Indigenous communities globally struggle to preserve their cultural heritage amidst a modern landscape shaped by technological advancement and free market capitalism. In today''s globalized economy, Indigenous knowledge intersects with domains like finance, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), technology, consumer behavior, and the marketing industry.

In Indigenous Empowerment through Human-Machine Interactions: The Challenges and Strategies from Business Lenses, an international group of scholars takes an interdisciplinary approach to deciphering the complexities that arise from the convergence of modern technology and traditional Indigenous knowledge. By integrating disciplines such as finance, technology, consumer behavior, and marketing within the context of Indigenous empowerment, this groundbreaking work pioneers new insights into how these elements can synergize for sustainable development.

Indigenous Empowerment through Human-Machine Interactions serves as a bridge between academia, policymaking, and Indigenous leadership, offering a practical guide for policymakers and professionals seeking to engage with Indigenous communities in meaningful ways.

The proposed book is envisioned for the nascent and entry-level researchers who are interested to work in the field of drug delivery and its applications specifically for macrophage targeting. Macrophages have gained substantial attention as therapeutic targets for drug delivery considering their major role in health and regulation of diseases. Macrophage-targeted therapeutics have now added significant value to the lives and quality of life of patients, without undue adverse effects in multiple disease settings. We anticipate examining and integrating the role of macrophages in the instigation and advancement of various diseases. The major focus of the book is on recent advancements in various targeting strategies using delivery systems or nanocarriers followed by application of these nanocarriers for the treatment of macrophage associated disorders.
