The Rise of the Left in Southern Europe
This study looks at the influence of the Anglo-American 'special relationship' on the rise of the left in southern Europe, and concurrent European influence on the Atlantic alliance.
Regional Integration and Democratic Conditionality
How effective are democracy clauses of regional integration organizations (RIOs) in promoting democratization and democratic consolidation among member-states? RIOs are increasingly adopting "democracy only" clauses in their treaties, requiring democracy and political stability as a condition of membership. Stable democracy is a collective good for RIO members; without political stability, uncertainty regarding economic exchange increases, undermining the promise of integration. The presence of powerful countries may be necessary for the RIOs to legalize democratic conditionality. In this book, the authors argue that once established democracy clauses exert an independent influence in promot...

Securing Democracy
When this book first published in 1990, several ‘new’ democracies were emerging in Southern Europe. Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece were generally seen as conforming to the western European model of liberal democracy. But the process of democratization is a gradual one, and each national democracy is moulded by its own political, social, and economic characteristics. In particular, the active role of national political parties is of prime importance. The contributors to this volume focus on party systems in the democracies of Greece, Spain and Portugal since the end of their authoritarian regimes, and on Italy in the post-war period. This title will be of interest to students of politics, European Studies, and development studies.
Ecumenical Meetings
Ecumenical Meetings: A journey of gratitude in the art of sharing Developed with the intent to offer spiritual and emotional comfort during a period of global vulnerability, the "Ecumenical Gathering" began at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic—a time marked by immense fragility. This initiative arose from the need to bring light, hope, and solace to patients, families, and staff at the Oncoclínicas unit in Bahia (NOB), a center dedicated to humane, compassionate care. Written by a team committed to a holistic view of humanity, this book aims to unite body, mind, and spirit. Inspired by the regular ecumenical gatherings, it presents profound reflections based on a variety of spiritual and...
Successes and New Directions in Data Mining
"This book addresses existing solutions for data mining, with particular emphasis on potential real-world applications. It captures defining research on topics such as fuzzy set theory, clustering algorithms, semi-supervised clustering, modeling and managing data mining patterns, and sequence motif mining"--Provided by publisher.
Molecular Basis and Gene Therapies of Cystic Fibrosis
Summary of Genes. Thirty years ago, the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF), a recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene, was identified. This progress has considerably changed our understanding of the pathophysiology of CF and has paved the way for the development of novel and specific therapies for the disease. The CFTR gene contains 27 exons and is characterized by a frequent three base pair deletion of the p.Phe508del. As a result of collaborative work, today more than 2000 mutations have been reported in the gene, and their impact on protein function is now more evident and useful in designing new strategies to co...
Data Warehousing and Mining: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications
In recent years, the science of managing and analyzing large datasets has emerged as a critical area of research. In the race to answer vital questions and make knowledgeable decisions, impressive amounts of data are now being generated at a rapid pace, increasing the opportunities and challenges associated with the ability to effectively analyze this data.
Alternative Splicing and Disease
Splicing of primary RNA transcript is a quasi-systematic step of gene expression in higher organisms. This is the first book to highlight the medical implications, i.e. diseases, caused by alternative splicing. Alternative splicing not only vastly increases protein diversity but also offers numerous opportunities for aberrant splicing events with pathological consequences. The book also outlines possible targets for therapy.
