In modern warfare, the most important innovation to date has been the utilisation of information as a  weapon. The basis of successful military operations is  the ability to correctly assess a situation based on  credible collected information. In today’s military, the primary challenge is not the actual collection of data.  It has become more important to extract relevant  information from that data. This requirement cannot  be successfully completed without necessary  improvements in tools and techniques to support the acquisition and analysis of data. This study defines  Big Data and its concept as applied to military  reconnaissance, focusing on the processing of  imagery and textual data, bringing to light modern  data processing and analytics methods that enable  effective processing.

AbstractPeople on the move are often left out of conversations around technological development and become guinea pigs for testing new surveillance tools before bringing them to the wider population. These experiments range from big data predictions about population movements in humanitarian crises to automated decision-making in immigration and refugee applications to AI lie detectors at European airports. The Covid-19 pandemic has seen an increase of technological solutions presented as viable ways to stop its spread. Governments’ move toward biosurveillance has increased tracking, automated drones, and other technologies that purport to manage migration. However, refugees and people crossing borders are disproportionately targeted, with far-reaching impacts on various human rights. Drawing on interviews with affected communities in Belgium and Greece in 2020, this chapter explores how technological experiments on refugees are often discriminatory, breach privacy, and endanger lives. Lack of regulation of such technological experimentation and a pre-existing opaque decision-making ecosystem creates a governance gap that leaves room for far-reaching human rights impacts in this time of exception, with private sector interest setting the agenda. Blanket technological solutions do not address the root causes of displacement, forced migration, and economic inequality – all factors exacerbating the vulnerabilities communities on the move face in these pandemic times.

Automatic Text Summarization (ATS) enables users to save their precious time to retrieve their relevant information need while searching voluminous big data. Text summaries are sensitive to scoring methods, as most of the methods requires to weight features for sentence scoring. In this chapter, various statistical features proposed by researchers for extractive automatic text summarization are explored. Features that perform well are termed as best features using ROUGE evaluation measures and used for creating feature combinations. After that, best performing feature combinations are identified. Performance evaluation of best performing feature combinations on short, medium and large size documents is also conducted using same ROUGE performance measures.

The digitization of world in various areas including health care domain has brought up remarkable changes. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have emerged for maintaining and analyzing health care real data online unlike traditional paper based system to accelerate clinical environment for providing better healthcare. These digitized health care records are form of Big Data, not because of the fact they are voluminous but also they are real time, dynamic, sporadic and heterogeneous in nature. It is desirable to extract relevant information from EHRs to facilitate various stakeholders of the clinical environment. The role, scope and impact of Big Data paradigm on health care is discussed in this chapter.

Future humans interacting with water in Kentucky will bring to their experience not only the panoply of expectations, assumptions, background knowledge, and past experiences but also ultra-smart gadgetry which will shape the outcome of the event. The technoscapes inhabited by human communities and individuals are over imposed on the natural rhythms which hydrology obeys, providing opportunities for sensorial fusion. An ongoing evolutionary explosion in diversity, mobility and interconnectedness of sensors is manifesting itself as the Internet of Things, all denizens of the “Cloud”, allowing the citizen scientist to easily generate georeferenced sensor information. This augmented, hybrid sensorial ecosystem challenges us to rethink how we tap into big data, mostly unstructured, representing the status of water systems, and how we extract relevant information.

Abstract Introduction Data about the epidemiology of valvular heart disease (VHD) is scarce. The increasing aging of the population may cause an augmented prevalence of VHD, with a great number of comorbidities that conveys a higher surgical risk. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of VHD in the patients attended at our institution from 2007 until 2017 and to describe the main characteristics of this population. Methods We used a new tool based on EHRead Technology to extract clinical relevant information from Electronic Health Records, designed for descriptive and predictive big data analysis. All medical reports generated at the outpatient clinic, ER or hospitalization ward were examined. Patients with a diagnosis of moderate or severe VHD were selected. The prevalence of VHD was also estimated in 2 quintiles, from 2008 until Feb 2013 and from March 2013 until Dec 2017. Results The total prevalence of VHD in our population was 1.04% (n=3431). Mitral regurgitation was the most frequent valvular lesion (0.4%, n=1318), followed by aortic stenosis (0.3%, n=967) and aortic regurgitation (0.28%, n=938). There was a clear female predominance (63%), and the median age was 76.4. In the 1st quintile the prevalence of VHD was 0.25%, and increased to 0.79% in the 2nd. This trend was consistent in all type of valvular lesions. The prevalence of comorbidities was higher than in other epidemiological studies (Table). Prevalence of comorbidities Severe MR Severe AS Severe AR Euro Heart Valve Survey Hypertension 54,5% 69,1% 47,9% 49% Dyslipidemia 32,2% 40,6% 27,4% 35% Diabetes Mellitus 28,0% 31,5% 16,4% 15% Smoking (current) 5,6% 5,4% 13,7% 39% Coronary heart disease 12,0% 17,0% 12,3% 13% Stroke 7,0% 8,9% 5,5% 7% Chronic kidney disease 18,9% 16,9% 20,5% 15% Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 11,2% 9,9% 11,0% 15% MR: Mitral regurgitation, AS: aortic stenosis, AR: aortic regurgitation, MS: mitral stenosis. Sex Distribution Conclusions The older age and greater number of comorbidities seen in our series over the past ten years, compared to the Euroheart Valve Survey reinforce the idea that the percutaneous valvular therapies should play a major role in the treatment of patients with VHD. Although, the prevalence of VHD may be underestimated in our population, due to the methodology, it reflects an ever-growing pathology in an older and sicker population.

Industry 4.0 has revolutionized paradigms by leading to major technological developments in several sectors, including the energy sector. Aging equipment fleets and changing demand are challenges facing electricity companies. Forced to limit resources, these organizations must question their method and the current model of asset management (AM). The objective of this article is to detail how industry 4.0 can improve the AM of electrical networks from a global point of view. To do so, the industry 4.0 tools will be presented, as well as a review of the literature on their application and benefits in this area. From the literature review conducted, we observe that once properly structured and managed, big data forms the basis for the implementation of advanced tools and technologies in electrical networks. The data generated by smart grids and data compiled for several years in electrical networks have the characteristics of big data. Therefore, it leaves room for a multitude of possibilities for comprehensive analysis and highly relevant information. Several tools and technologies, such as modeling, simulation as well as the use of algorithms and IoT, combined with big data analysis, leads to innovations that serve a common goal. They facilitate the control of reliability-related risks, maximize the performance of assets, and optimize the intervention frequency. Consequently, they minimize the use of resources by helping decision-making processes.
