Welfare and Stressors in Fish: Challenges Facing Aquaculture
Consumers, producers, stakeholders, governmental regulatory agencies and NGOs are becoming increasingly concerned with the conditions in which aquatic organisms are reared worldwide. High demand for fish for human consumption represents a challenge that has to be fulfilled by an ever-growing aquaculture production. In this scenario, animal care over the entire life and production cycle must be guaranteed while avoiding significant economic losses. As a result, research is needed to maximize yields and minimize adverse outcomes by optimizing rearing conditions while keeping in mind the welfare of cultured fish. In this Research Topic we will focus on relevant aspects related to fish response ...
Farm animal proteomics
Proteomics is a field with growing interest in almost every area of life sciences. Proteomic techniques, along with potential and obtained results have long been key components of biomedical and pharmaceutical research. In agriculture, animal and veterinary research however, use of proteomics is still limited, despite the large number of potential applications. As a result, there is a pressing need for wider use and dissemination of proteomics in animal and veterinary science research. This book meets this need by bridging the gap between experts in the technology of proteomics and those at the forefront of research into many facets of animal physiology and pathophysiology. The book encompas...
The New Development Economics
This volume provides a critique of the post-Washington Concensus in neoliberal economics.
Endocrine Regulation and Physiological Adaptation of Stress Response in Aquatic Organisms, Volume II
Organismal growth is a multi-gene regulatory process that integrates various physiological signaling pathways in vivo, from energy metabolism to somatic growth. In fully developed animals, endocrine regulation assures that homeostasis and growth can adapt the organism to changing environmental and biological conditions, thus being the central regulatory hub for physiological responses. Much attention has been paid to the endocrine regulation of aquatic organism growth and regulation. These endocrine systems include neuroendocrine and insulin-like growth factors and their downstream molecules. Many signaling molecules promote tissue growth and regulate the metabolism of many nutrients in vivo...
Call Centers and the Global Division of Labor
Call centers have come, in the last three decades, to define the interaction between corporations, governments, and other institutions and their respective customers, citizens, and members. The offshoring and outsourcing of call center employment, part of the larger information technology and information-technology-enabled services sectors, continues to be a growing practice amongst governments and corporations in their attempts at controlling costs and providing new services. While incredible advances in technology have permitted the use of distant and "offshore" labor forces, the grander reshaping of an international political economy of communications has allowed for the acceleration of t...
Capital, Exploitation and Economic Crisis
In 2008 the capitalist world was swept by the severest crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Mainstream economics neither anticipated nor could account for this disastrous financial crisis, which required massive state intervention throughout the capitalist world. Karl Marx did anticipate this type of financial collapse, arguing that it was derivative from the ‘fetishism of commodities’ inherent in the capitalist mode of production. This book substantiates the foregoing claim by a journey from Marx’s analysis of commodities to the capitalist crisis of the twenty-first century. The book demonstrates that Marx's framework (1) demonstrates that capitalism is but one historical f...
The Logic of Capital
An accessible, rigorous presentation of Marx's argument in the three volumes of Capital and of longstanding debates in Marxist economics.
Reclaiming the Land
Rural movements have recently emerged to become some of the most important social forces in opposition to neoliberalism. From Brazil and Mexico to Zimbabwe and the Philippines, rural movements of diverse political character, but all sharing the same social basis of dispossessed peasants and unemployed workers, have used land occupations and other tactics to confront the neoliberal state. This volume brings together for the first time across three continents - Africa, Latin America and Asia - an intellectually consistent set of original investigations into this new generation of rural social movements. These country studies seek to identify their social composition, strategies, tactics, and i...
