Insights on Antimicrobial Peptides
Modern medicine is impossible without antibiotics, but global antibiotic usage has led to the development of increasing numbers of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. Thus, we still have problems with infectious disease treatment despite an arsenal of antibiotics. This has forced researchers to develop new drugs that will be effective against resistant bacteria. Some of these prospective molecules are antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are an important component of the innate immune system of various organisms in nature. Currently, more than 3,000 AMPs have been reported with different activities against different bacterial species including resistant phenotype bacteria. AMPs display remarkable structural and functional diversity that is not completely understood. As such, this book presents a comprehensive overview of AMPs and their mechanism of action against MDR bacteria.
Current Topics in Functional Food
The market for functional foods is steadily expanding as more people worldwide realize the value of the daily consumption of healthy foods in maintaining good health. Recent studies have revealed new functional compounds in foods. Genetically modified foods will soon be commercially available. This book discusses the characteristics of functional foods and the health benefits of ingredients including ginger, herbs, probiotics, mushrooms, and dairy products. It also provides new ideas for the production of new functional foods and managing health through the daily diet.
Towards a Poetics of the Mental Health Play
This study traces key developments in theatre’s engagement with mental health since the 1970s. It introduces and applies the concept of the ‘mental health play’ as accurate and timely in addressing the way mental distress and mental illness have been brought to the stage. The study argues that the theatre is a central calibrator for reflecting developments and tensions in, as well as attitudes towards, mental health care, and thus opens up a domain that still has stereotypes and myths attached to it. Theatre’s representations of mental distress inform and shape cultural production and vice versa. Mental health plays are central in encouraging and fostering conversations about mental health, and they thus intervene in ongoing debates. Due to its interdisciplinary approach, this study contributes to and extends existing research in multiple fields, including theatre and science, performance studies, and the medical humanities.
Sound Art Revisited
The first edition of Sound Art Revisited (published as Sound Art: Beyond Music, Between Categories) served as a groundbreaking work toward defining this emerging field, and this fully updated volume significantly expands the story to include current research since the book's initial release. Viewed through a lens of music and art histories rather than philosophical theory, it covers dozens of artists and works not found in any other book on the subject. Locating sound art's roots across the centuries from spatialized church music to the technological developments of radio, sound recording, and the telephone, the book traces the evolution of sound installations and sound sculpture, the rise of sound art exhibitions and galleries, and finally looks at the critical cross-pollination that marks some of the most important and challenging art with and about sound being produced today.

Art and Protest in Putin's Russia
The Pussy Riot protest, and the subsequent heavy handed treatment of the protestors, grabbed the headlines, but this was not an isolated instance of art being noticeably critical of the regime. As this book, based on extensive original research, shows, there has been gradually emerging over recent decades a significant counter-culture in the art world which satirises and ridicules the regime and the values it represents, at the same time putting forward, through art, alternative values. The book traces the development of art and protest in recent decades, discusses how art of this kind engages in political and social protest, and provides many illustrations as examples of art as protest. The book concludes by discussing how important art has been in facilitating new social values and in prompting political protests.
Unutulmuş Yaşamlar
Lenin’in, Çar’a suikast suçlamasıyla genç yaşta idam edilen Aleksandr dışında dört kardeşi daha vardır: Lenin’den yaşça daha büyük 1864 doğumlu Anna; devrimci mücadeleye ve Petersburg’da üniversite eğitimine başladıktan kısa süre sonra erken yaşta tifodan ölen Olga; kardeşlerin en uzun yaşayanı Dmitriy; kardeşlerin en küçüğü Mariya. Bu kardeşler Rusya’daki devrimci harekette aktif olarak yer almışlardır. Rusya Sosyal Demokrat İşçi Partisi’ndeki bölünmeden sonra Lenin’in önderlik ettiği Bolşeviklerin saflarında yeraltı mücadelesi vermiş, hapsedilmiş, sürülmüş, Ekim Devrimi’nden sonra da etkin görevlerde bulunmuşlardır. ...
