Diabetes Melitus Tipe 1 atau defisiensi insulin absolut yang terjadi pada anak saat ini semakin meningkat jumlahnya. Buku Pintar Diabetes Melitus (DM) Tipe 1 ini ditulis dengan harapan semakin meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai DM Tipe 1. Sayangnya di Indonesia, penegakan diagnosis diabetes pada anak ini terlambat dilakukan. Tidak jarang anak yang menderita DM Tipe 1 terdiagnosis saat sudah terjadi penyulit seperti Diabeter Ketoasidosis karena orangtua atau orang di sekitarnya tidak mengetahui tanda awal DM Tipe 1. Oleh karena itu, penting bagi keluarga dan masyarakat di sekitar anak mengetahui tanda klinis DM Tipe 1 dan apa yang harus dilakukan bila menemui kasus tersebut. Buku Pintar Diabetes Melitus Tipe 1 ini terdiri dari 8 Bab yang membahas tentang Materi Umum, Manajemen Diet, Aktivitas Fisik/Olahraga, Gangguan Pertumbuhan, Komplikasi Akut, Komplikasi Kronis, Puasa berkaitan dengan DM Tipe 1, dan Kualitas Hidup Anak dengan DM Tipe 1. Penulis berharap buku ini dapat memberikan manfaat untuk keluarga, volunteer pemerhati DM Tipe 1, dan masyarakat khususnya dalam mempelajari DM Tipe 1 yang jumlah kasusnya semakin kerap dijumpai.
Brandy Erasmus is the daughter of the most feared pirate of the Caribbean in the early 19th century. Erick Erasmus aka The Plague and his infamous wife The Scarlet Mistress have marauded and ravaged the seas of the Caribbean since before Brandy was born. But on one fateful day when she is fifteen years old, that life drastically ends. First her father is killed by his second in command, Don Lomoche, and then an evil self-important, pompous ass British admiral named Bennets captures and executes her mother. She and her uncle barely escape the same fate. They spend the next 15 years hiding in Kingston, Jamaica where they run an Inn near the harbor. A chance meeting with one of the British Empi...
This book is a comprehensive introduction to text forming resources in English, along with practical procedures for analysing English texts and relating them to their contexts of use. It has been designed to complement functional grammars of English, building on the generation of discourse analysis inspired by Halliday and Hasan's Cohesion in English. The analyses presented were developed within three main theoretical and applied contexts: (i) educational linguistics (especially genre-based literacy programmes) (ii) critical linguistics (as manifested in the development of social semiotics) and (iii) computational linguistics (in dialogue with the various text generation projects based on systemic approaches to grammar and discourse). English Text's major contribution is to outline one way in which a rich semantically oriented functional grammar can be systematically related to a theory of discourse semantics, including deconstruction of contextual issues (i.e. register, genre and ideology). The chapters have been organized with the needs of undergraduate students in theoretical linguistics and postgraduate students in applied linguistics in mind.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the patterns of biodiversity in various neotropical ecosystems, as well as a discussion on their historical biogeographies and underlying diversification processes. All chapters were written by prominent researchers in the fields of tropical biology, molecular ecology, climatology, paleoecology, and geography, producing an outstanding collection of essays, synthetic analyses, and novel investigations that describe and improve our understanding of the biodiversity of this unique region. With chapters on the Amazon and Caribbean forests, the Atlantic rainforests, the Andes, the Cerrado savannahs, the Caatinga drylands, the Chaco, and Mesoamerica – along with broad taxonomic coverage – this book summarizes a wide range of hypotheses, views, and methods concerning the processes and mechanisms of neotropical diversification. The range of perspectives presented makes the book a truly comprehensive, state-of-the-art publication on the topic, which will fascinate both scientists and general readers alike.
The recent progress in analytical methods, aided by bringing in a wide range of other disciplines, opens up the study to a broader field, which means that biogeography now goes far beyond a simple description of the distribution of living species on Earth. Originating with Alexander von Humboldt, biogeography is a discipline in which ecologists and evolutionists aim to understand the way that living species are organized in connection with their environments. Today, as we face major challenges such as global warming, massive species extinction and devastating pandemics, biogeography offers hypotheses and explanations that may help to provide solutions. This book presents as wide an overview as possible of the different fields that biogeography interacts with. Sixteen authors from all over the world offer different approaches based on their specific areas of knowledge and experience; thus, we intend to illustrate the vast number of diverse aspects covered by biogeography.
This volume aims at analysing the main tools, frameworks and issues concerning sustainability disclosure. Particular emphasis is given to the Integrated Reporting, with the aim to identify its antecedents, use within companies, as well as its implementation issues, strengths and weaknesses.
Contains thirty research-based strategies teachers may use to help students in grades four and up who are non-native speakers of English read and understand academic texts, and includes assessment guides.
A book focused solely on Andean Cloud Forests (ACF) has never been published. ACF are high biodiversity ecosystems in the Neotropics with a large proportion of endemic species, and are important for the hydrology of entire regions. They provide water for large parts of the Amazon basin, for example. Here I take advantage of my many years working in ACF in Ecuador, to edit this book that contains the following sections: (1) ACF over space and time, (2) Hydrology, (3) Light and the Carbon cycle, (4) Soil, litter, fungi and nutrient cycling, (5) Plants, (6) Animals, and (7) Human impacts and management. Under this premise, international experts contributed chapters that consist of reviews of what is known about their topic, of what research they have done, and of what needs to be done in the future. This work is suitable for graduate students, professors, scientists, and researcher-oriented managers.
Original studies address key aspects of the conservation and biodiversity of plants. Articles are all peer-reviewed primary research papers, contributed by leading biodiversity researchers from around the world. Collectively, these articles provide a snapshot of the major issues and activities in global plant conservation. Many of the articles can serve as excellent case studies for courses in ecology, restoration, biodiversity, and conservation.
This book presents empirical analyses of manufacturing firm performance in Africa based on the World Bank Enterprise Survey and on a one-time quantitative survey conducted for the World Bank by the Center for the Study of African Economies of Oxford University.
