Seeking Justice
Seeking Justice: Access to Remedy for Corporate Human Rights Abuse explores victims' varying experiences in seeking remedy mechanisms for corporate human rights abuse. It puts forward a novel theory about the possibility of productive contestation and explores governance outcomes for victims of corporate human rights abuse across Latin America. This foundation informs three pathways that victims can use to press for their rights: working within the institutional environment, capitalizing on corporate characteristics, and elevating voices. Seeking Justice challenges the common assumptions in the governance gap literature and argues, instead, that greater democratic practices can emerge from productive contestation. This book brings to bear tough questions about the trade-offs associated with economic growth and conflicting values around human dignity-questions that are very salient today, as citizens around the globe contemplate the type of democratic and economic systems that might better prepare us for tomorrow.
Regulating Gut Microbiota by Lactic Acid Bacteria: Effects Based on Probiotic Characteristics and Their Metabolites
Lactic acid bacteria are a type of important probiotic that may be found in a wide range of nutrient-rich habitats, including food, feed, soil, and organisms like animals as well as plants. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, many species of lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites are “generally regarded as safe (GRAS)”. The most commonly used strains as probiotics spread in genera Lactobacilli, Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus. They have been shown to enhance intestinal transit, balance gut microbiota, and preserve the colon's acid-base equilibrium, which regulates the immune system and lowers serum cholesterol levels.
Immunobiotics: Interactions of Beneficial Microbes with the Immune System
The term “immunobiotics” has been proposed to define microbial strains able to beneficially regulate the mucosal immune system. Research in immunobiotics has significantly evolved as researchers employed cutting-edge technologies to investigate the complex interactions of these beneficial microorganisms with the immune system. During the last decade, our understanding of immunobiotics-host interaction was profoundly transformed by the discovery of microbial molecules and host receptors involved in the modulation of gut associated immune system, as well as the systemic and distant mucosal immune systems. In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the number of reports descr...
Prospects for Biological Control of Plant Feeding Mites and Other Harmful Organisms
The history of biological control of harmful organisms by mites is marked by outstanding achievements with a few premiere natural enemies. Early works concentrated on the use of predatory mites for the control of synanthropic flies, More recently, the focus has been mostly on mites of the family Phytoseiidae for the control of plant feeding mites. This is an important family of acarine predators of plant pest mites, which are effectively used in agriculture worldwide. Besides the vast knowledge in several species in this family, there are as well many opportunities for biological control, represented in an array of organisms and through the improvement of management techniques, which are con...
