We hope you enjoy reading this Special Issue and become inspired to address technological challenges toward helping the medical industry and biologists to increase the quality of life for humans, which is the main objective. Several topics have been highlighted: muscle electrostimulation, analog front-end (AFE) circuits, waveform generators, real-time velocimetry estimators, interference suppression, bio-signal encryption, IoT electronic nose, ultrasound image processing, noise in medical imaging, elbow actuators, and aids for visually impaired people. We are conscious about the very wide scope of biomedical circuits and systems applications, and that our contribution represents only a grain of sand, though we expect to be useful in contributing to the progress of knowledge in the field.History of engineering and technologybicsscanalog front-end (AFE)antennasbio-signalbioelectric acquisitionbiphasic signalblind peopleBreath analysiscentroid estimationdata encryptionDC offset currentdoppler spectrumdoppler velocimetrydriven-right-legdual motor-tendon actuatorelbow soft exoskeletonelectrocardiogramelectrode arrayelectrode stimulationelectromagneticelectronic nose (E-nose)electronic travel aidselectrooculogram (EOG)electrooculographyflexion/extensionFPGAfunctional electrical stimulationimpedance mismatchincremental low rank noise reductionincremental singular value decompositioninfrared and thermal image analysisinterferenceinterference suppressionInternet-of-Things (IoT)IoTmicrowavesmobilitymonitoring of body temperaturemulti-channeln/aneuromodulationnoisenon-contact electrodeparticle filter trackingphase aberrationPI controlplatinum electrode matrixpronation/supinationradarreceive beamformingrehabilitationRSAsegmentationsignal acquisitionsound speed estimationspatial resolutionstimulation protocolTRNGvisual impairmentwireless communicationHistory of engineering and technologyYufera Albertoedt1283192Huertas GloriaedtCalvo BelenedtYufera AlbertoothHuertas GloriaothCalvo BelenothBOOK9910557153403321Design and Application of Biomedical Circuits and Systems3018953UNINA03087nam 22006015 450 991047345490332120251010075134.03-030-67281-610.1007/978-3-030-67281-2(CKB)4100000011881173(MiAaPQ)EBC6543744(Au-PeEL)EBL6543744(OCoLC)1246549755(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/67955(ODN)ODN0010071967(oapen)doab67955(DE-He213)978-3-030-67281-2(EXLCZ)99410000001188117320210408d2021 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMigration and Discrimination IMISCOE Short Reader /by Rosita Fibbi, Arnfinn H.

Concepts of discrimination -- Chapter 3. Theories of discrimination -- Chapter 4. Methods of measurement -- Chapter 5. Discrimination across social domains -- Chapter 6. Consequences of and responses to discrimination -- Chapter 7. Combatting discrimination -- Chapter 8. Conclusions.This open access short reader provides a state of the art overview of the discrimination research field, with particular focus on discrimination against immigrants and their descendants. It covers the ways in which discrimination is defined and conceptualized, how it is measured, how it may be theorized and explained, and how it might be combated by legal and policy means. The book also presents empirical results from studies of discrimination across the world to show the magnitude of the problem and the difficulties of comparison across national borders. The concluding chapter engages in a critical discussion of the relationship between discrimination and integration as well as pointing out promising directions for future studies. As such this short reader is a valuable read to undergraduate students, as well as graduate students, scholars, policy makers and the general public.IMISCOE Research Series,2364-4095Emigration and immigrationSocial sciencesHuman MigrationSocietyEmigration and immigration.Social sciences.Human Migration.Society.304.8SOC000000SOC007000bisacshFibbi Rosita803345Midtbøen Arnfinn H849616Simon Patrick727644MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910473454903321Migration and Discrimination1897248UNINA
