Women in Biogeochemical Dynamics Research: 2022
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Blood Ties
Once upon a time, there was a woman the press called the Hyena-Woman. Infant Annihilator. Witch. Child-Chopper. Butcher of Little Angels. Monster. The Ogress of Colonia Roma. Julián and I called her Mother. When the writer Ignacio Suárez is sent photographs of two murdered women, mirroring a passage of his very own detective novel, he drops everything to uncover who is responsible. What no-one suspects is that the origin of these crimes lies in the forgotten, real-life story of Felícitas Sánchez, the midwife turned child-killer who became known in the 1940s as "The Ogress of Colonia Roma". Diary entries and newspaper articles come together in this gripping tale to reveal how the woman called Felícitas, who grew up in a small community in La Huasteca, Mexico, became the infamous child trafficker and murderer in the country's capital, and how her long-ago crimes are linked to a wave of killings. Verónica E. Llaca evokes a tale of cursed bloodlines, forcing us to question the origin and inheritance of evil and how far we can truly escape our past.
Artisanal Small-Scale Gold Mining
This framework document provides a pragmatic approach for designing representative studies and developing uniform sampling guidelines to support estimates of morbidity that are explicitly linked to exposure to land-based contaminants from small-scale artisanal gold mining activities. A primary goal is to support environmental burden of disease evaluations, which attempt to attribute health outcomes to specific sources of pollution. The guidelines provide recommendations on the most appropriate and cost-effective sampling and analysis methods to ensure the collection of representative population-level data, sample size recommendations for each contaminant and environmental media, biological s...
Herança macabra
QUANDO A MALDADE PERCORRE AS VEIAS, O SANGUE DOS INOCENTES ESCORRE PELAS MÃOS Na fúnebre atmosfera do México dos anos 1940, as ruas de uma cidade tornaram-se palco dos atos macabros de Felícitas Sánchez Aguillón. Apelidada de "A Ogra do bairro Roma", a parteira corrompeu sua nobre profissão assassinando dezenas de crianças sem deixar rastro de humanidade. A captura e subsequente condenação de Felícitas marcaram definitivamente a consciência coletiva da comunidade. Décadas mais tarde, Ignacio Suárez, um escritor da era contemporânea, tropeça em um legado de brutalidade que se recusa a permanecer enterrado. Fotografias enigmáticas de mulheres mortas chegam às suas mãos, traz...
Removal of Refractory Pollutants from Wastewater Treatment Plants
This book discusses new and innovative trends and techniques in the removal of toxic and or refractory pollutants through various environmental biotechnological processes from wastewater, both at the laboratory and industrial scale. It focuses primarily on environmentally-friendly technologies which respect the principles of sustainable development, including the advanced trends in remediation through an approach of environmental biotechnological processes from either industrial or sewage wastewater. Features: Examines the fate and occurrence of refractory pollutants in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the potential approaches for their removal. Highlights advanced remediation procedures involving various microbiological and biochemical processes. Assesses and compares the potential application of numerous existing treatment techniques and introduces new, emerging technologies. Removal of Refractory Pollutants from Wastewater Treatment Plants is suitable for practicing engineers, researchers, water utility managers, and students who seek an excellent introduction and basic knowledge in the principles of environmental bioremediation technologies.
Pharmaceuticals in Aquatic Environments

It discusses conventional and advanced remediation technologies such as the use of biomaterials for the sequestration of contaminants, nanotechnology, and phytoremediation. The book includes topics such as the removal of pharmaceutical and personal care product residues from water bodies, green chemistry, and legal regimens for pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment. It also covers the application of modified biochar in pharmaceutical removal. FEATURES Explores the management of the environment through green chemistry Describes phytoremediation technology for decontamination of pharmaceutical-laden water and wastewater Covers the detection methods and quantification of pharmaceutical residues in various contaminated sources Discusses ecotoxicological aspects and risk assessment of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment Reviews degradation and treatment technologies including nanotechnology, biomaterials, and biochar This book is meant for pharmaceutical, toxicology, and environmental science industry experts and researchers.
Биология бессмертия
В современной биологии царит редукционизм – примитивное «механистическое» восприятие живой материи без системного понимания сущности процессов и строения живых существ. Такое состояние биологии отрицательно проявляется во многих других областях человеческой деятельности, начиная от кризиса медицины в области лечения рака, диабета и других заболеваний и заканчивая сельски...
Эпигенетика питания.
В книге рассматриваются случайные факторы строения человеческого генома и их влияние на продолжительность жизни. Поскольку случайность, несомненно, играет важнейшую эволюционную роль в онтогенезе организмов, то бессмысленно пенять на судьбу или предков, не обеспечивших вас генетическим счастьем. Влиянием случайных факторов внешней среды объясняется относительно небольшой р...
