Metals and Genetics
During the past few years, major scientific discoveries have greatly contributed to our understanding of the relationship between metals and genetics. The fields which have contrib uted to this area range from Clinical Medicine and Genetics to Biochemistry and Chemistry. The aim of this book is to bring together investigators from these diverse fields to reflect on the broad implications of direct and indirect interactions of metals and genetic components. The volume begins with a tribute to the late Karen Wetterhahn, an outstanding scien tist in the field, who will be sadly missed by her friends and colleagues because of her un timely death. The book has 28 chapters contributed by scientist...
Nanomaterials
Production of nanomaterials has been constantly evolving over the last few years for manifold applications in electronic, optical and biomedical fields. As a result, exposure towards nanoparticles in the workplace environment is increasing, while respective occupational exposure limits are lacking. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft's Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area (MAK Commission) recognized the importance of a scientifically based approach to the risk assessment of nanoparticles at the workplace and in 2009 established the ad-hoc working group ?Nanoparticles'. Its task was to review the current database available for risk assessment for nanoparticles, to identify relevant endpoints of toxicological concern and to define open questions for future research. This report contains overviews on the important toxicological aspects of the nanoparticles and a summary and conclusions of the discussions that took place during the meetings of the ad hoc working group ?Nanoparticles'.
The Language of Canon Law
In this book, Judith Hahn explores the legal order of the Roman Catholic Church to better understand how the Roman Catholic Church communicates as a legal institution. She argues that the language of canon law reveals the political ideology of the church hierarchy, and she takes up the tools of language and law scholarship to examine and challenge that language. Hahn examines the grammar and terminology of canon law, and how canon law language makes use of linguistic tricks and techniques to create its typical sound and discusses the comprehension difficulties that arise out of ambiguities in the law, out of transfer problems between legal and common language, and out of canon law's confusing mix of legal, doctrinal, and moral norms.
The Virus and the Host
*2022 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist for Health Learn how to take control of your health—and decrease susceptibility to infectious viral disease before it strikes. There will almost certainly be more pandemics in our future. Yet, during the coronavirus crisis, not a single major public health official took the simple step of telling Americans what we all need to hear: Robust good health—healthy immunity, low inflammation, low toxic burden, and freedom from stealth infection and chronic disease—is our best defense against infectious viral disease. Of course, it’s not that simple. The way our bodies interact with infectious disease is complicated—both a function of t...
Anwendung und Bedeutung ausgewählter Spurenelemente und Mineralstoffe in der Medizin
Die zunehmende klinische Bedeutung der essentiellen Spurenelemente und Mineralstoffe war Gegenstand der 23. Tagung der Gesellschaft für Mineralstoffe und Spurenelemente e.V. in Stuttgart. Neben den Spurenelementen Antimon, Jod und Cadmium lag der Schwerpunkt auf Selen. Die Ergebnisse klinischer Studien zeigen die Anwendbarkeit zur Mortalitätsreduktion bei Sepsis, zur Reduktion von Nebenwirkungen der Strahlentherapie von Patienten mit Cervix- oder Corpus uteri-Karzinomen, zur Abnahme von Autoimmunantikörpern und Verbesserung klinischer Beschwerden bei entzündlichen Autoimmunkrankheiten der Schilddrüse wie Hashimoto- Thyreoiditis, zum Rückgang des Weichteilödems bei Patienten mit postradiogenen oder postoperativen Ödemen im Bereich der Mundhöhle. Ein lesenswertes wissenschaftliches update der Mineralstoffe und Spurenelemente, das sich durch die große Zahl der Beiträge unterschiedlicher Autoren durch Lebendigkeit und Vielfalt auszeichnet.
Hands Down, Speak Out
Math coach, Kassia Omohundro Wedekind and literacy coach, Christy Hermann Thompson, have spent years comparing notes on how to build effective classroom communities across the content areas. How, they wondered, can we lay the groundwork for classroom conversations that are less teacher-directed and more conducive to student-to-student dialogue? Their answers start with Hands-Down Conversations, an innovative discourse structure in which students' ideas and voices take the lead while teachers focus on listening and facilitating. In addition to classrom stories and examples, Christy and Kassia provide 28 micro-lessons designed to help K-5 students develop and excercise their speaking and liste...
