Asia is the largest and most populous continent of Earth with an overall population of 446.27 crores. Housing this population drives various challenges in different aspects, in which providing healthy and nutritious food to each and every individual is most challenging. Unfortunately, because of certain production issues, farmers are not getting the desired throughput, and in some critical cases, situations lead to suicide. On the other hand, proper storage and distribution of these harvests are other challenges. Various models and IoT (internet of things)-based approaches have been presented and are available for implementation, but a dedicated layout combining the digitization of all the essential steps, starting from preparation of soil for agriculture to the making food available for every needy person, is still missing. In the paper, various related models have been studied, and an integral model is presented where integration of IoT is carried out with agriculture and with the food storage and distribution system.

Internet of things witnessed rapid growth in the last decade and is considered to be a promising field that plays an all-important role in every aspect of modern-day life. However, the growth of IoT is seriously hindered by factors like limited storage, communication capabilities, and computational power. On the other hand, cloud has the potential to support a large amount of data as it has massive storage capacity and can perform complex computations. Considering the tremendous potential of these two technologies and the manner in which they complement one another, they have been integrated to form what is commonly referred to as the cloud of things (CoT). This integration is beneficial as the resulting system is more robust, intelligent, powerful, and offers promising solutions to the users. However, the new paradigm (CoT) is faced with a significant number of challenges that need to be addressed. This chapter discusses in detail various challenges like reliability, latency, scalability, heterogeneity, power consumption, standardization, etc. faced by the cloud of things.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a quite recent paradigm going a decade back to the past. With the development and deployment of wireless technologies this new advancement has taken the part in the consumers' lives and businesses. In other words, the IoT is a pretty convenient way to correlated devices with each other and make them communicate in such a network. This is feasible using the internet connection and differently saying, all IoT devices forming the IoT asset got their IP addresses. From this perspective, it's quite clear that this technology got a lot of advantages and the users may feel so thankful for being the part of an IoT community. On the other hand, the consumers would spend less time thinking about the possible security concerns being linked to this new improvement. In this paper, we intend to discuss how secure our IoT infrastructure is, what its strategic implications are and why cyber industry should invest more time and effort in order to better research and develop this concept. In addition, we would try to deal a bit more with the IoT crawlers as the tools for investigating the IoT network and being so handy for both - researchers and hacker's groups.

The article analyses the popularity of self-tracking as one cultural phenomenon. The practice of tracking one’s activity and controlling life parameters is not new, but nowadays it has been popularised and entered into a group of new, cultural trends. This process is strongly related to the development of technology, the Internet of Things and mobile solutions. On the other hand, to outline the full picture of the phenomenon of self-tracking, it should be considered in different cultural contexts, taking into account social factors and current fashions and trends.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that encompasses electronic devices that have embedded technologies, sensors and connection to the Internet network, capable of collecting, processing, transmitting data and sharing information among each other, in order to transform data into information for decision making. On the other hand, there are still urban challenges facing cities where IoT can contribute. Aiming to support this theme, this study developed a systematic mapping of the literature on IoT and the main challenges faced by Brazilian cities, pointing out existing initiatives and alternatives of how IoT can help to solve them. The results showed evidence of practical applications on the use of IoT as a solution to the challenges in the cities. In addition, these results suggest the feasibility of using IoT in the solution of these problems.

Silo storage is considered the best option for wheat storage. However, the storage losses in warehouse storage are also equivalent to silo storage of wheat when proper storage management practices are adopted and the Food Corporation of India (FCI) is the best example of a sustainable food storage system with only 0.3% storage losses in 3 years of wheat storage. The wheat procurement, storage, and distribution system of FCI is unique in the world and handles about 85 million tons of food grains annually by procuring from farmers at the guaranteed Minimum Support Price that meets certain quality standards. This article discusses the role of FCI in food security, warehouse storage management practice as a model, and storage loss level of wheat during storage.

This article analyzes and compares the 1943 and 1948 editions of the Camp Manual, which provides instructions for the camp commanders of the Youth Front, the Francoist equivalent of Mussolini’s Balilla and the Nazi Hitler-Jugend. In these manuals, the camp appears as a microcosm that reflects the organic structure and government practice of the Francoist State, including its biopolitical aspects: health, food storage, calorie consumption... The political culture that they transmit and its variants maintain an affinity with the normalization of the bodies of the campers: while the Phalangist subculture imposes strength, martiality and rectitude upon the bodies, the Catholic subculture imposes meekness and sinuous forms. The two editions of the manual also reflect the evolution of Franco’s regime. In the 1943 edition, the leaflet of the camp leader reflects the Fascistization of the State. The 1948 edition, on the other hand, stresses the legitimization of the encyclical Divini Illius Magistri or the imposition of a Christian pedagogy (principle of self-direction), and it speaks of the establishment of a Catholic State. This includes the concept of the culture of the participative subject, linked in turn to a new normalization of the bodies (greater distention, oblique lines), without this implying the disappearance of the traditional forms of control or the automatic movements (parades, formations), characteristic of the culture of the subject that gives unity to Francoism.

A review of technological solutions for RFID sensing and their current or envisioned applications is presented. The fundamentals of the wireless sensing technology are summarized in the first part of the work, and the benefits of adopting RFID sensors for replacing standard sensor-equipped Wi-Fi nodes are discussed. Emphasis is put on the absence of batteries and the lower cost of RFID sensors with respect to other sensor solutions available on the market. RFID sensors are critically compared by separating them into chipped and chipless configurations. Both categories are further analyzed with reference to their working mechanism (electronic, electromagnetic, and acoustic). RFID sensing through chip-equipped tags is now a mature technological solution, which is continuously increasing its presence on the market and in several applicative scenarios. On the other hand, chipless RFID sensing represents a relatively new concept, which could become a disruptive solution in the market, but further research in this field is necessary for customizing its employment in specific scenarios. The benefits and limitations of several tag configurations are shown and discussed. A summary of the most suitable applicative scenarios for RFID sensors are finally illustrated. Finally, a look at some sensing solutions available on the market are described and compared.

This research describes, analyzes and interprets the implementation of the Village Fund Cash Direct Assistance Policy for the community in Sidorejo village, especially the poor community during the Covid-19 outbreak. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach. The results of the research are that (1) the implementation of policies in the decision mentality approach from the village government is related to the determination of residents who are entitled to receive BLT Village Funds based on the results of village deliberations involving the Village Head and BPD. In addition, it is also based on provisions from the central government that BLT DD recipients are not PKH participants, but the reality on the ground is that there are still many PKH recipients who receive BLT DD. This attitude shows that there is a mentality that shows that the village government is less careful in data collection and on the other hand the mentality of the people who like to take advantage of this momentum to increase personal benefits. (2) the implementation of the policy in the system approach approach shows that the flow and mechanism of data collection have been carried out in accordance with applicable regulations, where the phase I distribution system of village funds has been running well. (3) the implementation of the policy in the collaborative network approach shows that there is still a lack of understanding between the Village Government as the implementer of the BLT DD policy and the community as the recipient of the BLT DD, where there are still people who are participating in the PKH program who in fact still receive BLT DD. This shows a lack of awareness from the community and on the other hand the lack of a validation process from the village government.


Definition: -Using electronic devices and computers now days become more challenging as cyber crime has risen to another extant which has become a great challenge to control. Hackers, Trojans and other cyber tools may cause huge potential loss of wealth and money which can easily destroys an individual. Securing Information related to your facebook account is bit easier as it is a matter of an individual but on the other hand making a database secure and safe is a big and difficult task.
