National Security & Life Sciences

In modern and crowded traffic life, it becomes mandatory to save the human life by reaching the hospital very sooner than possible. This paper explains about the advancement in tracking the ambulance presence amidst the traffic with the usage of GPS tracking system calculating the position of the ambulance from the traffic signal which replaces the RF transmitter receiver circuitry. This paper also retains the use of the image capturing technology available from the base paper (IMPACT OF IMAGE PROCESSING IN SAVING THE HUMAN LIFE BY AUTOMATING TRAFFIC SIGNALS) to identify the presence of the ambulance, thereby changing the signal to green automatically in favour of ambulance.

Cyberspace is everywhere in today’s world and has significant implications not only for global economic activity, but also for international politics and transnational social relations. This compilation addresses for the first time the “cyberization” of international relations - the growing dependence of actors in IR on the infrastructure and instruments of the internet, and the penetration of cyberspace into all fields of their activities. The volume approaches this topical issue in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary fashion, bringing together scholars from disciplines such as IR, security studies, ICT studies and philosophy as well as experts from everyday cyber-practice.

The unmanaged march of climate change poses a serious danger to United States national security, global geopolitical stability, and human welfare. The U.S. Military and Intelligence communities take climate change as a reality and are preparing accordingly, despite inaction and political resistance at the legislative level of government. National security, climate change, and energy are inextricably connected, and this paper seeks to answer the questions: how do climate threat multipliers jeopardize U.S. national security (using the Philippines as a case study), and is the U.S. military effectively preparing for a climate change future? The conclusion finds that the threat multiplier realities of climate change demand that the United States utilize every possible resource to analyze, prevent, and manage these dynamic dangers, or risk jeopardizing the country’s national security and human welfare. No competent military commander would ever knowingly ignore the warnings of scouts or allow the fog of war to cloud his or her capabilities and preparations, especially if the ability to anticipate dangers exists.

Global security cannot be achieved until people view the world as a global community. Until such time, differences will continue to be perceived as threatening. These perceived “threats” are the primary threat to global security. This volume proposes methods for minimizing the “us versus them” mentality so that we can build a sense of global community.
