The last decade has seen great progress in modern healthcare; progress which could not have been achieved without the developments in computer science and technology. Image processing, disease modeling, biosensors and bioprinting are just some of the innovations which have contributed to improving the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis and the more effective treatment of patients. This book presents the accepted papers from CMMHC2022, the Workshop on Computer Methods in Medicine & Health Care, hosted from Hainan, China and held as an online event from 22 to 25 September 2022. CMMHC is aimed at fostering high-quality research by bringing together scholars, doctors, engineers, and radiologists to discuss emerging ideas, approaches, theories, frameworks, and practices in preventive healthcare technology. The organizers received 40 submissions for the 2022 workshop. These were subjected to a thorough peer-review process, with each paper being reviewed by at least 2 members of the Technical Committee. From the original submissions, 15 were selected for presentation and publication, resulting in a final acceptance rate of less than 40%. The main focus of the papers is hospital informatisation, medical imaging and health management, which continue to be major research hotspots. The book offers an overview of recent research and developments in the field of computer methods in medicine and healthcare, and will provide a useful reference to the direction of future developments for those researchers and practitioners facing the challenges and demands of the era of big data.

In this publication possible ways to promote security cooperation in the Wider Black Sea Area are being addressed. The area holds major importance for Euro-Atlantic security. Strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, the region, after the dual NATO-EU enlargement in 2004-2007, became part of the periphery of the common Euro-Atlantic security system, with critical value for European energy security and the war on terrorism. The region faces a variety of security challenges, including regional conflicts, ethnic strife, terrorism, and powerful organized crime, while many of the countries have weak institutions, turbulent political systems, unstable economies and lack of democracy. In addition, the traffic of drugs to the West, the steady stream of militancy from the Middle East, and the energy lines from the oil and gas-rich regions of the East to an energy-hungry Europe gradually define the Wider Black Sea Area as a region urgently requiring political attention and investment in its security. This publication is intended to provide fresh ideas on the possible areas of security cooperation, even as the authors agreed that comprehensive, far-reaching policies are hard to attain in the near future.
