Sommario/riassunto

Myopia, the most common disorder of the eye, affects 80% of the population of some countries. Although its basis remains uncertain, recent development of animal models have permitted tests of hypothesis as to myopia's origins. The symposium proceedings cover normal growth of the eye including the roles of peptide factors, metabolism and accommodation, investigation of the deficiencies that lead to myopia and other refractive disorders.

Sommario/riassunto

This book reports on the latest research and developments in the field of human factors in cybersecurity. It analyzes how the human vulnerabilities can be exploited by cybercriminals and proposes methods and tools to increase cybersecurity awareness. The chapters cover the social, economic and behavioral aspects of the cyberspace, providing a comprehensive perspective to manage cybersecurity risks. By gathering the proceedings of the AHFE Virtual Conference on Human Factors Cybersecurity, held on July 16–20, 2020, this book offers a timely perspective of key psychological and organizational factors influencing cybersecurity, reporting on technical tools, training methods and personnel management strategies that should enable achieving a holistic cyber protection for both individuals and organizations. By combining concepts and methods of engineering, education, computer science and psychology, it offers an inspiring guide for researchers and professionals, as well as decision-makers, working at the interfaces of those fields. .
