Healthy ageing and disease prevention depends on nutritional and lifestyle changes. Available evidence accentuates the influence of genetic, metabolic, and host gut microbiota characteristics on how individuals respond to each nutrient leading the way for the stratification of dietary guidelines. In recent days, state-of-the-art changes are pursued in therapeutic nutrition services integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and deep learning. Furthermore, we live in the ‘omics' era, where individuals' dietary needs can be tailored according to their gene pattern. Digital twin typifies virtual representation that provides real-time digital technology counterpart of a physical process or object. This chapter discusses how to converge genetic information with other biochemical parameters to conceptualize a digital replica of oneself that may well be a reference tool to guide personalized nutrition.

In the era of connections and information and communication technologies, the building industry is facing the challenge of digitization at the building and urban scale. Several researches have been carried out to generate virtual city models to manage and represent a variety of data to reach the smart city concept. Therefore, the development of building/urban digital twins is directly linked to the definition of innovative methods and tools that are able to collect, organize, query heterogeneous data to make it available for the various involved actors. This chapter aims at presenting the district information modelling methodology that is strictly related to the digital twin concept, starting with data domains, arriving at the various tools developed to reach the users' needs.

Based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) fast advancement and the integration of advanced analytics into manufacturing, products, and services, several industries face new opportunities and at the identical time challenges of maintaining their ability and market desires. Such integration, that is termed Cyber-physical Systems (CPS), is remodeling the industry into a future level. CPS facilitates the systematic conversion of big data into information that reveals invisible patterns of deterioration and inefficiency and leads to better decision-making. This project focuses on existing trends within the development of industrial huge information analytics and CPS. Then it, in brief, discusses a system architecture for applying CPS in manufacturing referred to as 5C. The 5C architecture, comprises necessary steps to totally integrate cyber-physical systems within the manufacturing industry.

The unimaginable speed of the development of information and communication technologies has led to the fact that in the time period from 2009 to 2012, human society generated and saved more information than in the entire history until then. As estimated in 2013, approximately 1,200 exabytes were generated around the world, and this vast amount of information is doubled every three years. This would mean that estimated amount of generated data for 2019 is approximately 4800 exabytes, that is, three times more than the total amount information generated throughout the history. Since such a large amount of information cannot be stored or processed (and especially not in real or reasonable time) using the common methods of storing and processing data, a new paradigm of storage, processing and management of large quantities, variety and data processing speed has emerged under the name big data concept.

A major challenge of Sustainable Development Goal 12 “Responsible Consumption and Production” is to reduce food losses along production and supply chains. This is particularly critical for fresh food products, due to their perishable and fragile nature, which makes the coordination of the actors all the more crucial to avoid wastes and losses. The rise of new technologies, referred to as “Industry 4.0” powered by the internet of things, big data analytics and artificial intelligence, could bring new solutions to meet these needs. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) allow for frequent exchanges of huge amounts of information between actors in the agrofood chains to coordinate their activities. The aim of the chapter is to provide a state-of-the-art analysis on ICTs used in agrofood supply chains, with a special focus on the case of fresh fruits and vegetables, to analyze the potential and weaknesses which exist in different forms of supply chains for ICTs becoming a “resource” (precious, rare, non-imitable, and nonsubstitutable) prospect and to suggest promising ICTs in this context.

Abstract   The objective of this research is to find out the use of Whatsapp Messenger as a mobile media to learn writing in EFL classes.Several researchers have attempted to prove applicability of mobile learning as modern ways of teaching and learning (Naismith, 2004:115). Moreover, applying portable technologies have been demanded by most of the modern learners who oftentimes are forced to study anywhere, and anytime, for example, at work, in the bus or at weekends (Evans, 2008:115).The research was motivated by the students’ difficulties in writing. The sample of this research was three classes of first grade students of English Department of Unswagati. The instrument of this research was questionnaire sheet. Data from questionnaire sheet was analyzed based on the frequency students’ answers and then was calculated and interpreted into percentages. The result shows WhatsApp Messenger attracts the students interest and also the students have positive responses towards the using ofWhatsAppMessenger. In applying WhatsApp group, the writer concluded that, learning using WhatsApp group has effective to develop their creativity in writing skill. On the other hand, the result from the questionnaire sheet indicated that almost of students is active in learning to writing recount text. Students can learn out of the classroom. Beside WhatsApp can be used privately, it can be used for students’ education. The students can use their gadget positively for their ability in learning English. The students can improve their knowledge in learning ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies).

Role Of Information

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.

Borders and bodies are increasingly regulated by data-capturing mechanisms spread across the world through information and communication technologies. This article traces the features and implications of such a border-body datalogical entanglement through the figure of the drug mule. It analyzes government documents and recorded case studies to argue that this figure emerges from an assemblage of cultural narratives, legal structures, human labor, technical practices, and biological processes. The datalogical drug mule is already implicated in a struggle over what, and how, data is meaningful and actionable. Investigating this figure allows us to begin disentangling the data-driven mechanisms that constitute modern borders and bodies while at the same time accounting for analog continuities in contemporary practices of border security.
