Many countries have implemented policies to increase the number and quality of scientific researchers as a means to foster innovation and spur economic development and progress. To that end, grounded in a view of women as a rich, yet underutilized knowledge and labor resource, a great deal of recent attention has focused on encouraging women to pursue education and careers in science — even in countries with longstanding dominant patriarchal regimes. Yet, overall, science remains an area in which girls and women are persistently disadvantaged. This book addresses that situation. It bridges the gap between individual- and societal-level perspectives on women in science in a search for syste...

"Dopo due settimane ho anche iniziato a giocare gettando i cuscini, a ballare con le ragazze e anche a giocare a football. Ci sono volute due settimane, non di più, e siamo stati riportati alla nostra età originale. Penso che una delle cose principali di Selvino fosse che questa casa - per il periodo in cui eravamo lì, poco più di un anno - ci ha restituito la nostra giovinezza."

This book provides novel perspectives on ethical justifiability of assisted dying in the revised edition of New Directions in the Ethics of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia. Going significantly beyond traditional debates about the value of human life, the ethical significance of individual autonomy, the compatibility of assisted dying with the ethical obligations of medical professionals, and questions surrounding intention and causation, this book promises to shift the terrain of the ethical debates about assisted dying. The novel themes discussed in the revised edition include the role of markets, disability, gender, artificial intelligence, medical futility, race, and transhumanism. Ideal for advanced courses in bioethics and healthcare ethics, the book illustrates how social and technological developments will shape debates about assisted dying in the years to come.
Head and neck cancer is on the rise, affecting the adult and paediatric patients. Its treatment is challenging and is governed by numerous factors, especially tumour biology, patient demographic and availability of efficient treatment regimes. The prognosis of head and neck cancer is dismal despite multimodality treatment. This is largely due to late presentation of the disease, as well as poor compliance to treatment and suboptimal treatment approaches. The prognosis and survival rate of head and neck cancer patients can be enhanced with a thorough understanding of the disease, effective communication between in charge clinician, collaborative effort of multiple expertise involving in the m...
The increasing awareness on the varied consequences of hypogonadism in distinct organs and systems has supported the notion of estrogens as systemic agents. This observation is congruent with the variety of tissues affected by - trogens when used in hormone therapy formulations on hypogonadic women. Apart from the genital tract and the breast, recognized as traditional targets for estrogens, the skeleton, the vascular tree, or the central nervous system, are good examples of territories that have demonstrated sensitivity to estrogens. This evidence has created great interest, as shown by the great amount of lit- ature that has been produced on the bene?ts and risks associated with the use of...
