Mitochondria and Endoplasmic Reticulum Dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease
Several pathogenic mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of substantial nigra (SN) dopamine (DA) neurons. Alterations in calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis, cellular proteostasis, axonal transport, mitochondrial function, and neuroinflammation are linked to PD. However, research involving inter-organelle communication and their significance as precise mechanisms underlying neuronal death in PD remain to be elucidated. Evidence showed that perturbations in the mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) network play an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. Alterations in the mitochondria-ER interface have been ...
The Social Metabolism
Over this last decade, the concept of Social Metabolism has gained prestige as a theoretical instrument for the required analysis, to such an extent that there are now dozens of researchers, hundreds of articles and several books that have adopted and use this concept. However, there is a great deal of variety in terms of definitions and interpretations, as well as different methodologies around this concept, which prevents the consolidation of a unified field of new knowledge. The fundamental aim of the book is to conduct a review of the past and present usage of the concept of social metabolism, its origins and history, as well as the main currents or schools that exist around this concept...
Cuba agrícola: mito y tradición (1878-1920)
En su obra la autora ofrece una visión menos totalizadora de la participación de la agricultura en este proceso industrialista, valorándola como un elemento de cierta relevancia en la consecución de la diversificación agraria. Conocedora de la historia económica de cuba, se sirve de sus estudios para analizar desde la historia social de la ciencia el proceso diversificación agrícola iniciado en cuba a mediados del siglo XIX por los "reformadores agrícolas", la aplicación de la ciencia y de los adelantados tecnológicos y científicos a la agricultura y la recepción de dichas innovaciones por el campesino urbano.
The Barcelona School of Ecological Economics and Political Ecology
In this open access book, ecological economics and political ecology traditions converge into a single academic school. The book constitutes a common ground where multiple and critical voices are expressed, covering a broad scope of urgent matters at the crossroad between society, economy and the natural environment. The manuscripts composing this compendium offer appealing material for both experienced and younger researchers interested in interdisciplinary exchanges in the field of the social environmental sciences. It combines historical accounts with recent theoretical and empirical developments revolving around the interaction between three foundational notions of the Barcelona School: social metabolism, environmental justice and self-reflective science.
Sobre el temporal Gloria (19-23.01.20), els seus efectes sobre el país i el que se'n deriva : Report de Resposta Ràpida (R³)
Un fenomen natural com el temporal Gloria requereix una anàlisi multifactorial pel que fa al seu origen i conseqüències, i també per les nombroses i rellevants implicacions que se’n deriven. És ben palès que el Gloria no representa un fet aïllat o únic, i que fenòmens naturals amb no pas poques semblances, en tots els sentits, s’han anat succeint en el passat recent i continuaran produint-se en el futur, potser més freqüentment. Aquesta realitat, que la nostra societat haurà d’assumir en termes de convivència i resiliència, ens ha empès a fer l’anàlisi esmentada, fonamentada en el rigor que aporten els nombrosos contribuïdors i volgudament il·lustrativa, tot i que n...
The Social Metabolism of Spanish Agriculture, 1900–2008
This open access book provides a panoramic view of the evolution of Spanish agriculture from 1900 to the present, offering a more diverse picture to the complex and multidimensional reality of agrarian production. With a clear transdisciplinary ambition, the book applies an original and innovative theoretical and methodological tool, termed Agrarian Social Metabolism, combining Social Metabolism with an agroecological perspective. This integrative analysis is especially interesting for environmental scientists and policy makers being the best way to design sustainable agroecosystems and public policies capable of moving us towards a more sustainable food system. Spanish agricultural producti...
Energy in Agroecosystems
Energy in Agroecosystems: A Tool for Assessing Sustainability is the first book on energy analysis that is up-to-date and specifically dedicated to agriculture. It is written from an agroecological perspective and goes beyond the conventional analysis of the efficient use of energy. The book provide a methodological guide to assess energy efficiency and sustainability from an eco-energetic point of view. Case studies from both Europe and America, which are representative of today’s most used scales of analysis (crop, farm, local or national) and the different farm management practices (traditional, industrialized, and contemporary organic), apply this methodology This book will be of primary interest to researchers, practitioners, and students working in the areas of agroecology, sustainable agriculture, environmental science, energy analysis, natural resources management, rural development and international development.
