Antimicrobial peptides have been the subject of intense research in the past decades, and are now considered as an essential part of the defense system in bacteria, plants, animals and humans. his book provides an update on these effector molecules of the innate immune system both for researchers who are already actively involved in the area, and for those with a general interest in the topic. The book starts with an overview of the evolution of cysteine-containing antimicrobial peptides (including defensins), and the role of these peptides in host defense in plants and micro-organisms. The realization that antimicrobial peptides also display functions distinct from their direct antimicrobia...
The demands of producing high-quality, pathogen-free food rely increasingly on natural sources of antimicrobials to inhibit food spoilage organisms, foodborne pathogens, and toxins. The recent developments and innovations of new antimicrobials from natural sources for a wide range of applications require that knowledge of traditional sources for food antimicrobials is combined with the latest technologies in identification, characterization, and applications. This book explores novel, natural sources of antimicrobials as well as the latest developments in using well-known antimicrobials in food, covering antimicrobials derived from microbial sources, animal-derived products, plants, and valu...
Although it is fashionable among modernists to claim that globalism emerged only since ca. 1800, the opposite can well be documented through careful comparative and transdisciplinary studies, as this volume demonstrates, offering a wide range of innovative perspectives on often neglected literary, philosophical, historical, or medical documents. Texts, images, ideas, knowledge, and objects migrated throughout the world already in the pre-modern world, even if the quantitative level compared to the modern world might have been different. In fact, by means of translations and trade, for instance, global connections were established and maintained over the centuries. Archetypal motifs developed...

Circunstâncias direcionam nossos passos, vestindo-nos com a máscara do ódio, da dor, da tristeza, da insegurança, das muitas sensações que, se não temos um ponto fixo, se apoderam do nosso íntimo, tornando nosso horizonte mais distante, senão intangível.

A coletânea Educação e Tecnologias: desafios dos cenários de aprendizagem investiga a relação entre educação, tecnologias e aprendizagens em seus desafios emergentes. Diferentes grupos de autores em seus grupos de pesquisa analisam processos de ensino e aprendizagem na educação formal, não-formal, informal em discussões contemporâneas. São novos tempos com seus desafios pedagógicos e sanitários que se interpõem para reinventar a escola e o ensino, sem que se perca a dimensão da educação como partícipe da promoção da democracia, da liberdade e da justiça social para além de resultados imediatos. Os autores entendem as necessidades educacionais e as demandas sociais e tecnológicas como possibilidades às novas aprendizagens e melhoria da sociedade humana.
