From Electronic to Mobile Government
The open access book combines insights from policy sciences (backgrounds of cross-border coordination challenges), design science (development of architectures for mobile services), information ethics (privacy and security of e-government services in international arenas) and business studies (changes in existing business models). The notably interdisciplinary character provides scholars and policy professionals working in specific (legal, political, engineering) disciplines a unique outlook on how policy making, implementation, and pilots are related in multi-level and cross-border governance. The book presents the results of the EU-funded "Mobile Cross-Border Government Services for Europe" (mGov4EU) project in which various pilots implemented and validated enhanced infrastructure services for electronic voting, smart mobility, and mobile signing. Together, the single pilots demonstrated how enhanced electronic identities and trust services (eIDAS) and Single Digital Gateway Regulation (SDGR) layers can accommodate once-only, digital-by-default and mobile-first principles. By taking advantage of security features of modern smartphones like hardware-backed secure elements together with integrated convenience elements like biometric sensors, this research showed how both the security needs and data-protection expectations one has into public services and the usability challenges that arise when accessing complex services using constrained mobile devices meet. This book is the first one in his kind to address this gap in the academic knowledge, as well as this gap in available compendiums for policy professionals at European levels of decision-making, as well as for policymakers and experts working on electronic identification, cross-border and cross-sector information exchange in the various member states of the European Union. This way, it serves various audiences: first, researchers in informatics-related areas like information systems, electronic government, and mobile applications, as it describes empirical examples of secure, easy-to-use and cross-border electronic services that have been developed and successfully tested in practice. Second, it also caters to researchers in international relations or political science as well as policymakers and politicians, both at national or European levels, who are involved in drafting policies and implementing European initiatives in relation to the building blocks of next-generation e-government services.
Create and Export Tables Using Stata
In Create and Export Tables Using Stata, Michael Mitchell teaches you how to expertly craft custom, publication-quality tables of summary statistics, regression results, and more. Mitchell examined hundreds of published journal articles from many disciplines, searching for commonly used table layouts. This book breaks down how to create the most popularly used tables by guiding you through examples using Stata's table, dtable, and etable commands, as well as the collect suite of commands.This book begins with 24 sample tables, including 6 examples of a Table 1, 8 examples of regression models, 4 examples with Student's t tests, and an example of reporting results from a pretest-posttest design. Each sample table is illustrated step by step, showing you how to create it, customize it, and export it as a Word document. You'll also learn how you can export your table as a PDF or an Excel spreadsheet.After the quick examples, the book takes a more thorough look at the process of creating a Table 1--a table of descriptive statistics that optionally includes a comparison across groups. This discussion also includes extensive instruction on how to create different types of composite results to include in your table; composite results combine multiple statistics into one cell, such as the mean (SE) or median (IQR).Next Mitchell focuses on creating tables from regression models, such as multiple regression, multivariate regression, logistic, and multinomial logistic models, and illustrates how to make tables that combine results from several models.The book ends with a look under the hood, describing what a collection looks like and the steps used by the collect suite of commands for creating a table and filling it in based on the contents of the collection. This information can help you more deeply understand the process of creating tables and help you make more complex tables using Stata.Create and Export Tables Using Stata is integral to anyone reporting data characteristics or analysis. You will learn how to create tables with the layout, formatting, and style you need. Optimize your workflow by using your styles to automate the creation of any future tables. You will take this book off your shelf over and over again as it quickly becomes your go-to reference for creating tables in Stata.

Excel's Not Dead
A new way of working with Excel spreadsheets never seen before that will transform how we work with Excel now and in the future. A game changing system of data manipulation based on a single discovery. This book will take you step by step from the discovery and it's simple application through to how to apply it to create fully dynamic dashboards. The things that you could previously only do with Pivot Tables are now available to everyone from Excel beginners to professionals. A comprehensive Excel toolkit to ensure you have all the tools you need to tackle all the exercises and complete your journey. I hear too often from IT professionals that "Excel is Dead" but every day I see It becoming more and more essential in every work environment from single person start ups to large corporations. This book will show that not only is excel not dead, with the system I will teach you it's getting stronger and stronger.

Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science
Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science introduces students to the discrete mathematics needed later in their Computer Science coursework with theory of computation topics interleaved throughout. Students learn about mathematical concepts just in time to apply them to theory of computation ideas. For instance, sets motivate the study of finite automata, direct proof is practised using closure properties, induction is used to prove the language of an automaton, and contradiction is used to apply the pumping lemma. The main content of the book starts with primitive data types such as sets and strings and ends with showing the undecidability of the halting problem. There are also appendix chapters on combinatorics, probability, elementary number theory, asymptotic notation, graphs, loop invariants, and recurrences. The content is laid out concisely with a heavy reliance on worked examples, of which there are over 250 in the book. Each chapter has exercises, totalling 550. This class-tested textbook is targeted to intermediate Computer Science majors, and it is primarily intended for a discrete math / proofs course in a Computer Science major. It is also suitable for introductory theory of computation courses.The authors hope this book breeds curiosity into the subject and is designed to satisfy this to some extent by reading this book. The book will prepare readers for deeper study of game theory applications in many fields of study.
Applied Informatics
The two-volume set CCIS 2236 and 2237 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Applied Informatics, ICAI 2024, held in Vina del Mar, Chile, during October 24-26, 2024. The 39 full papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 123 submissions. The papers were organized in the following topical sections: Part I - Artificial Intelligence; Bioinformatics; Cloud Computing; Data Analysis; Decision Systems; and Game Development. Part II - Health Care Information Systems; Interdisciplinary Information Studies; Learning Management Systems; Natural Language Processing; Social and Behavioral Applications; Software and Systems Modeling; and Software Architectures.
Semi-Supervised Tooth Segmentation
This book constitutes the proceedings of the First MICCAI 2023 Challenge on Semi-supervised Tooth Segmentation, SemiToothSeg 2023, held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2023, in Vancouver, BC, Canada, on October 8, 2023. The 16 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 64 submissions. The papers were written by participants in the STS challenge to describe their solutions for automatic teeth segmentation using the offcial training dataset released for this purpose. In general, this challenge aims to promote the development of the teeth segmentation in panoramic X-ray images and dental CBCT scans.
