Zoonotic Diseases: Epidemiology, Multi-omics, and Host-pathogen interactions
Zoonotic diseases are infections that can be transmitted between people and animals. These infections are caused by microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Patients with zoonotic infections can experience severe and life-threatening illness, whilst others remain asymptomatic. For example, animals can harbor germs asymptomatically for long periods with no apparent impact on their own health. However, some microbes carried by animals can result in human illness, depending on the zoonotic disease. Furthermore, it is widely reported that almost 60% of human diseases are zoonotic, and at least 75% of the pathogens that cause diseases in humans are of zoonotic origin.
Becoming Gods
Through rich ethnographic narrative, Becoming Gods examines how a cohort of doctors-in-training in the Mexican city of Puebla learn to become doctors. Smith-Oka draws from compelling fieldwork, ethnography, and interviews with interns, residents, and doctors that tell the story of how medical trainees learn to wield new tools, language, and technology and how their white coat, stethoscope, and newfound technical, linguistic, and sensory skills lend them an authority that they cultivate with each practice, transforming their sense of self. Becoming Gods illustrates the messy, complex, and nuanced nature of medical training, where trainees not only have to acquire a monumental number of skills but do so against a backdrop of strict hospital hierarchy and a crumbling national medical system that deeply shape who they are.

Agriculture and industry, major users of water, are at the same time those that contr...

The quest for the Sustainable City has until recently focused on the efficient use of resources with the application of technical advances giving rise to the definition of SMART Cities. The economic model emphasised however is still “linear” in the sense that the design and consumption follows the pattern of extraction of natural resources, manufa...
