“Alzheimer’s Disease: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Practices” explores the extensive perspective from the molecular foundations to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The book serves as a fundamental resource for understanding the neurobiological basis and molecular pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s, while also discussing the challenges and opportunities of transitioning from the laboratory to clinical settings. The initial sections of the book comprehensively examine the fundamental molecular characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease; these include the accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide, hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, and how these processes lead...
Tourism as an activity is increasingly being criticised for its exploitative and extractive industrial approaches to business. Yet, it has the power to transform and to regenerate societies, cultures and the environment. The desire to explore the world around us is deeply embedded in many people’s psyche, but it comes at a cost to the environment and often to the residents of the visited communities. Much of tourism education has been closely linked to preparing students for future professional practice, but the challenges and opportunities linked to its consumption require that its future leaders must exhibit very different values and understandings to tackle ever more complex and wicked problems from which tourism cannot dissociate itself. This compilation of values-based learning experiences can be adapted to suit the needs and disposition of individual instructors and aims not only to engage students in the subject matter but also deepen their understanding of its complexity and interconnectivity and help them become global citizens that lead lives of consequence.
Should academic careers always unfold in exactly the same way? Is there one best way of being an academic? This book says no. Assumptions about who academics are and what they should do are becoming increasingly narrow and focused on achieving so-called ‘excellence’ in teaching and research above anything else. This book problematises this and explores the scope for doing academic careers differently. Authors paint individual or group portraits of their academic careers, working with metaphors which challenge the dominant discourses of how academic careers should be led. From rejecting the pressure to focus on ‘one big thing’, to prioritising nurture and care, transcending disciplina...
Stephan Hawking tümüyle sağlıklı olsaydı, bilime çok daha fazla katkı yapacaktır diye düşünürüz. Ya da Veysel Şatıroğlu gözlerini kaybetmeseydi, bu kadar güçlü ve zengin bir Aşık Veysel sesi ve ezgisi alabilir miydik diye aklımızdan geçirebiliriz… Bu yaşanmamış alternatif tarihi bilmiyoruz; ama bu insanlar kendilerine doğaın oynadığı oyunu bozan insanlardan birisi de sevgili Dr. Alper Kaya’dır. Alper, çok genç ve en verimli olmaya başladığı yıllarda, Tıp Fakültesi ve Göz Hastalıkları uzmanlık eğitimini tamamladıktan sonra doğanın yavaş yavaş kendisine bir oyun kurduğunu anlamış, ama bu oyunu aklıyla ve ruhuyla bozmuş, örnek bir rol modeldir. Gerçekten, bir bedenin kaybedilmesine karşı pes etmeyişin ve yepyeni bir yaşam kurulmasının canlı örneğidir Alper… Öyküsü de burada… İyi okumalar… -Süleyman Kaynak

“My heart recognized my love for you even when my mind hasn’t realized it yet.” Magkalayong-magkalayo ang mga hilig nina Melanie at Gabe pero hindi naging hadlang iyon sa kanilang pagkakaibigan. Since the first time they met, they immediately hit it off and became friends. Kahit nang magkaroon na sila ng kanya-kanyang career sa magkaibang larangan ay nagpatuloy ang kanilang matibay na samahan. Ngunit ang smoothsailing na pagkakaibigan nila ay bigla na lang nag-iba ng direksiyon. Bigla na lang ay nakakaramdam na si Melanie ng mga kakaibang kilabot tuwing lumalapit sa kanya si Gabe. Lalo pang gumulo ang lahat nang bigla siyang halikan nito. At hindi lang isang simpleng halik ang ibinigay nito sa kanya kundi iyong klase ng halik na may kasamang orchestra na tumutugtog ng background music at choir na kumakanta ng chorus ng Hallelujah. But after that mind-blowing and eath-shattering kiss, what was going to happen to their friendship now? Totoo nga kaya ang mga sabi-sabi na wala raw straight na lalaki at babae ang nananatiling magkaibigan lang?
This book presents ideas on education, gender and intersectionality through a transdisciplinary frame by crossing disciplinary and methodological borders. Exploring the diversity of educational settings ranging from early childhood to adult education, it brings together scholars from various disciplines to discuss, deconstruct and problematize gender and education in relation to several themes in a comparative, intersectional, local, national, regional and international perspective. Each chapter approaches the topic in an intersectional and/or transnational manner and creates powerful gendered educational knowledge. Questions addressed in the book include: What are the challenges or barriers...
Das Politikfeld der Inneren Sicherheit ist seit 9/11 verstärkt im Wandel begriffen. Dieser Wandel, so die These, wurde zunächst sprachlich realisiert, denn (Un-)Sicherheit sowie Bedrohungen werden in der Öffentlichkeit sprachlich konstruiert und zugleich wird sprachlich eine Legitimationsbasis für politische Entscheidungen geschaffen. 9/11 musste deshalb in seiner Relevanz für die Bundesrepublik gedeutet sowie verschiedene Bedrohungsszenarien und deren sicherheitspolitische Bearbeitung von den sicherheitspolitischen Akteuren entworfen werden. Den sicherheitspolitischen Wandel als diskursive Konstruktion zu begreifen, trägt der Interpendenz von Sprache, Diskurs und Sicherheitspolitik Rechnung. Über die Analyse des bundespolitischen Diskurses zur Inneren Sicherheit können seine konstitutiven Elemente dekonstruiert und die Frage nach anderen Rekonstruktionen gestellt werden.
Extremophiles are organisms that are able to live in extreme conditions due to their unique physiological and genetic adaptations. Extremophiles are harnessed for their extremozymes that have wide applications in biotechnology, pharmaceutics, and industry. Recent developments in genomics and proteomics have helped unravel the mechanism of survival, physiological adaptation, and genomics structure of extremophiles. Physiology, Genomics, and Biotechnological Applications of Extremophiles covers innovative developments in understanding the physiology and biochemistry of extremophiles using the -omics perspective, focuses on the advancement in mechanisms of the extremophiles that makes them able to survive under extreme conditions, and discusses the applications of extremophiles in astrobiology. Covering topics such as genomics and the history and identification of extremophiles, it is ideal for students, professors, researchers, academicians, microbiologists, agricultural scientists, and biotechnologists.
