'Security or Freedom?'
The balance between security and freedom is a complex and delicate one. While security is essential for protecting individuals and society from harm, excessive security measures can encroach on personal freedoms. Conversely, too much freedom without adequate security measures can lead to chaos and endanger the well-being of individuals and society. Finding the right balance between security and freedom is crucial for maintaining a stable and just society. It requires thoughtful consideration of the potential risks and benefits of security measures, as well as a commitment to upholding fundamental human rights and freedoms.

China’s Pension System : Creating Sustainable and Equitable Social Security
Since 1978, when China started remaking its economy, it has also embarked on an unparalleled effort at remaking its pension system to accommodate its hybrid economic model.This book tells the story of how China has managed to build a national pension system that now covers most of its population and what this system holds for its future. This book covers the following topics: evolution of Chinese pension system to its current form; benefit design, financing, and governance of current pension system; challenges facing the pension system, especially the looming funding shortage due to accelerating population ageing; solutions to the challenges; and lessons learned from the Chinese experience.Due to the fragmentation of pension system among 31 mainland provinces, we also select three provinces as case studies to help readers gain a richer understanding of how economic and geographic diversity has created disparity in pension benefit design and financing between provinces and within a province and how such disparity adds complexity and challenges to the pension system. This timely and important study provides up-to-date and in-depth analyses for policymakers and stakeholders to make informed decisions and will be relevant for all scholars and students of public administration and public policy studies.

Sustainable Development and Water Security : Towards Achieving a Water-Secure World
Water is an integral part of our daily lives, yet most of us have little idea about how much water we use to maintain our lifestyles and the extent to which our lifestyles pollute and degrade water resources.The increasing occurrence of floods, droughts and water pollution incidents are reminders of our vulnerability in relation to water.Estimates suggest that global water demand could outstrip supply by the middle of the century if we continue with the current “business as usual” approach to water management. Melvyn Kay and Olcay Ünver use Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 as a framework to explore the concept of sustainable water resources management and how to improve water security.They provide a synthesis of water resources planning and management issues across all water-using sectors to dispel misunderstandings and myths and enable informed approaches to decision-making.In so doing, they offer an in-depth critical review of SDG6, including what it does and does not do.Case studies from around the world are used throughout the book to illustrate the key issues of water (in)security.

Critical Mapping for Sustainable Food Design : Food Security, Equity, and Justice
This book introduces critical mapping as a problematizing, reflective approach for analyzing systemic societal problems like food, scoping out existing solutions, and finding opportunities for sustainable design intervention. This book puts forth a framework entitled "wicked solutions" that can be applied to determine issues that designers should address to make real differences in the world and yield sustainable change.The book assesses the current role of design in attaining food security in a sustainable, equitable, and just manner.Accomplishing this goal is not simple; if it was, it would not be called a wicked problem.But this book shows how a particular repertoire of design tools can be deployed to find solutions and strategize the development of novel outcomes within a complex and interconnected terrain.To address the wicked problem of food insecurity, inequity, and injustice, this book highlights 73 peer-reviewed design outcomes that epitomize sustainable food design.This includes local and regional sustainable design outcomes funded or supported by public or private institutions and local and widespread design outcomes created by citizens.In doing so, this book sets the stage for an evidence-driven and evidence-informed design future that facilitates the designers’ visualization of wicked solutions to complex social problems, such as food insecurity.Drawing on an array of case studies from across the world, from urban rooftop farms and community cookers to mobile apps and food design cards, this book provides vitally important information about existing sustainable food design outcomes in a way that is organized, accessible, and informative. This book will be of great interest to academics and professionals working in the field of design and sustainable food systems.Students interested in learning about food and sustainability from across design studies, food studies, innovation and entrepreneurship, urban studies, and global development will also find this book of great use.

What is the difference between IT security and information security?
IT security and information security are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two. IT security primarily focuses on protecting the digital infrastructure, networks, and systems from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and data breaches. On the other hand, information security encompasses a broader scope, including the protection of all forms of sensitive and valuable information, whether it is in digital or physical form. Information security also involves safeguarding data privacy, compliance with regulations, and managing risks associated with the storage and transmission of information. In summary, while IT security is a subset of information security, the latter encompasses a wider range of protective measures for all types of information assets.

What experiences have you had with security or airport security?
I have had several experiences with airport security while traveling. I have gone through the standard security screening process, including removing my shoes, belt, and electronics, and placing them in the bins for X-ray scanning. I have also been randomly selected for additional screening, which involved a pat-down and a more thorough inspection of my carry-on items. Overall, I have found airport security to be a necessary inconvenience in order to ensure the safety of all passengers.
