The Boxer Codex
In The Boxer Codex, the editors have transcribed, translated and annotated an illustrated late-16th century Spanish manuscript. It is a special source that provides evidence for understanding early-modern geography, ethnography and history of parts of the western Pacific, as well as major segments of maritime and continental South-east Asia and East Asia. Although portions of this gem of a manuscript have been known to specialists for nearly seven decades, this is the first complete transcription and English translation, with critical annotations and apparatus, and reproductions of all its illustrations, to appear in print.

Interventions to Prevent or Reduce Unhealthy Habits in Children and Adolescents during Restricted Conditions
The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased worldwide in recent decades. Childhood obesity is associated with serious health problems and the risk of premature illness and death later in life. In addition, there is a growing concern over the effects of sedentary lifestyles on young people’s health. Low physical activity and sedentary behaviour are associated with metabolic and mental health during childhood and adolescence. Parallel to obesity and low physical activity in children and adolescents, excessive use of the virtual space — including increased screen time activity or internet and smartphone addiction— is among the most important health-threatening factors for children and adolescents.
Women in Science: Aging and Public Health 2022
The demographics of aging –whether differences in life expectancy or shouldering the burden of care for our aging populations—reflect that aging is indeed a women’s issue. In the field of Aging and Public Health, there are many highly influential and successful women who are contributing to the field and tackling important questions about risk factors for successful aging as well intervention strategies for promoting health and quality of life across the life-course.
Precision Agriculture
Precision agriculture has revolutionized the way crops are grown and managed by utilizing advanced technologies to optimize farm production, reduce waste, and improve environmental sustainability. Emerging technologies in precision agriculture, including edge computing, 5G communication, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, digital twins, blockchain, big data analytics, robotics, and augmented reality, are making significant contributions to the growth and development of this field. This book explores the latest advancements, achievements, and opportunities associated with these technologies in terms of improved efficiency, reduced labor costs, and enhanced safety, as well as the challenges involved in the implementation, such as high costs of adoption, regulations, and the need for skilled personnel. Each chapter presents research reports describing new methods and perspectives in precision agriculture applications based on innovative tools from basic and applied research. This book can serve both the academic community and farmers by demonstrating how modern technologies are advancing precision agriculture to the next level.
Muscular Dystrophies
Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic organ that is modulated by various pathways controlling protein turnover. Muscle loss is common in muscular dystrophy, in which marked loss of various proteins such as the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex occurs around muscle fibers. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the various muscular dystrophies, including characteristics, diagnosis, and classification. General treatment of drugs (e.g. corticosteroids) and physical therapy for muscular dystrophies are discussed. In addition, current applications for cell and tissue engineering using muscle stem cells or gene therapy are introduced. This book also deals with the recent advances in appropriate models of drug screening using cell cultures or mammalian organs in vitro in this field.
