Chapter 8: To Jab or Not to Jab – Questions and Concerns about the Covid-19 Vaccine -- Chapter 9: Finale – Resetting the way we live.This book weaves together intersectional threads that underlie the experiences of older men and women in India during the Covid-19 pandemic. While older adults were considered particularly vulnerable to the scourge of the pandemic, there is scant first-hand evidence about how they understood the pandemic and how they were affected by it. Data about the effects of the virus on this population, as communicated by the government and the press, resulted in reductive/problematic narratives that shaped and colored their lives. The intersectional lens used in the book highlights the differential impacts of poverty, (dis)ability, gender, civil status, and health status on the experiences of older adults during the pandemic. This book brings forth first-person narratives of older adults navigating the Covid-19 pandemic in India. It is a handy ready reckoner for mental health and medical professionals, students in qualitative research methods, psychology, social work, geriatric medicine, health and public health, and public administration. The book's findings are provocative and generate curiosity about the lives and experiences of an age category seldom focused on.Quality of lifeClinical health psychologyQuality of Life ResearchHealth PsychologyQuality of life.Clinical health psychology.Quality of Life Research.Health Psychology.610306Sriram Sujata1777830Bhargava Swarnima1777831MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910913782103321Navigating the Pandemic in India4299635UNINA05260nam 2200601 a 450 991101966800332120200520144314.01-118-55762-X1-299-31539-91-118-61851-3(CKB)2560000000100620(EBL)1143619(OCoLC)830161663(SSID)ssj0000832933(PQKBManifestationID)11465028(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000832933(PQKBWorkID)10899717(PQKB)10798869(MiAaPQ)EBC1143619(EXLCZ)99256000000010062020091027d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCommunicating embedded systems network applications /edited by Francine KriefLondon ISTE ;Hoboken, N.J.

Symmetric mutual authenticationEmbedded systems become more and more complex and require having some knowledge in various disciplines such as electronics, data processing, telecommunications and networks. Without detailing all the aspects related to the design of embedded systems, this book, which was written by specialists in electronics, data processing and telecommunications and networks, gives an interesting point of view of communication techniques and problems in embedded systems. This choice is easily justified by the fact that embedded systems are today massively communicating and that telecommunications and networkISTENetworks on a chipNetworks on a chip.621.3815/31ST 153rvkKrief Francine1838546MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911019668003321Communicating embedded systems4417530UNINA
