Ffit 2022

The 2022 International Conference on Financial Innovation, FinTech and Information Technology (FFIT 2022), hosted by Shenzhen University of Technology and organized by the Financial Innovation and Fintech Research Center of Shenzhen University of Technology, was held on October 28-30, 2022 in Shenzhen, China. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and the strict travelling rules, it is still difficult to take international travel for all our attendees to participate in the conference. Therefore, FFIT 2022 was held as a hybrid event. FFIT 2022 brought together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of Financial Innovation, Financial Technology and Information Technology to discuss the latest research results in this field.

This book contains the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Financial Innovation, FinTech and Information Technology (FFIT 2023) held in Chongqing, China from July 7th to 9th, 2023. FFIT 2023 focuses on Economic statistics under big data, Financial risk control, Economic Modeling and Software Engineering, Accounting and Financial Information Systems, Innovative Supply Chain Financial Services and other fields. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for experts, scholars, engineers, technicians and technical R&D personnel to share scientific research achievements and cutting-edge technologies, understand academic development trends, expand research ideas, strengthen academic research and discussion, and promote the industrialization cooperation of academic achievements. We hope that this conference will continue to be held in the coming years, making it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in financial innovation and economic development and related areas. We would also like to thank the invited speakers for their valuable contributions and for sharing their perspectives during their speeches.

Almost fifty years have passed since the adoption of the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (the UNESCO World Heritage Convention). With its 194 States Parties, it is the most widely ratified convention within the family of UNESCO treaties on the protection of cultural heritage. The success of this Convention and its almost universal acceptance by the international community of states is due to the great appeal that recognising certain properties as "world heritage" has for national governments. Since the publication of the first Commentary, new problems have arisen in the management of world heritage sites. It has become increasingly difficult to properly monitor the conservation of the ever-growing mass of sites inscribed in the World Heritage List, and to resolve disputes over the formal designation of contested world heritage properties - a problem that has led to the withdrawal of the United States and Israel from UNESCO. New frontiers are now being explored for the expansion of the world heritage idea over marine areas beyond national jurisdiction, and the monopoly of the State in the identification, delineation, and presentation of world heritage properties is being increasingly challenged in the name of indigenous peoples' rights and by local communities claiming ownership over contested cultural sites. At the same time, the regime of world heritage protection has infiltrated other areas of international law, especially international economic law, investment arbitration, and the area of international criminal law. This second edition critically examines the World Heritage Convention against this dynamic evolution of international heritage law to help academics, lawyers, diplomats, and officials interpret and apply the norms of the Convention after half a century of uninterrupted implementing practice by State Parties and Treaty Bodies.

Volume CCIS 1654 is part of the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2022, which was held virtually during June 26 to July 1, 2022. A total of 5583 individuals from academia, research institutes, industry, and governmental agencies from 88 countries submitted contributions, and 1276 papers and 275 posters were included in the proceedings that were published just before the start of the conference. Additionally, 296 papers and 181 posters are included in the volumes of the proceedings published after the conference, as “Late Breaking Work” (papers and posters). The contributions thoroughly cover the entire field of human-computer interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas.

3D Mesh Processing and Character Animation focusses specifically on topics that are important in three-dimensional modelling, surface design and real-time character animation. It provides an in-depth coverage of data structures and popular methods used in geometry processing, keyframe and inverse kinematics animations and shader based processing of mesh objects. It also introduces two powerful and versatile libraries, OpenMesh and Assimp, and demonstrates their usefulness through implementations of a wide range of algorithms in mesh processing and character animation respectively. This Textbook is written for students at an advanced undergraduate or postgraduate level who are interested in the study and development of graphics algorithms for three-dimensional mesh modeling and analysis, and animations of rigged character models. The key topics covered in the book are mesh data structures for processing adjacency queries, simplification and subdivision algorithms, mesh parameterization methods, 3D mesh morphing, skeletal animation, motion capture data, scene graphs, quaternions, inverse kinematics algorithms, OpenGL-4 tessellation and geometry shaders, geometry processing and terrain rendering.
