The last one year proved itself to be a very tough year, and it brought many new challenges for the international relations. Among these new challenges, the most striking one is probably the Russia’s unleashing a war of aggression on Ukraine. As Russia's invasion stepped up on the 24 February 2022, many Western experts and policymakers predicted that the Ukrainian armed forces wouldn't be able to defend Kyiv, and that it would fall to the invaders before the month ended. Nonetheless, the government and people of Ukraine are still fighting, and you can see evidence of this everywhere you walk in Kyiv thanks to the flag of free Ukraine flying from rooftops. It is clear that we are entering a...
l volume raccoglie i contributi presentati durante la terza edizione del Seminario Nazionale delle Dottorande e dei Dottorandi in Scienze Politiche dal titolo Post-. Sguardi sul cambiamento tenutosi presso l’Università di Pisa. La necessità di riflettere su tale tema deriva dalla peculiare contingenza storica in cui il volume è stato pensato. Il 2022 ha infatti segnato il pieno ingresso della società e della politica europee (e non solo) nell’era post-Covid 19, ma è anche stato preceduto da un quindicennio di “policrisi” e accompagnato dal ritorno della guerra in Europa. L’obiettivo è pertanto quello di analizzare il cambiamento – le sue cause, le sue direzioni e le sue implicazioni – avvalendosi delle diverse prospettive delle scienze politiche. In altre parole, riflettere sul cambiamento, nel cambiamento, tramite una collaborazione inter-disciplinare e al tempo stesso intra-disciplinare, con contributi di taglio politologico, sociologico, storico e filosofico.
This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
La Gara Matematica di Firenze compie trenta anni. La competizione si rivolge a studenti della scuola secondaria superiore. Ai partecipanti sono proposti quattro esercizi per risolvere i quali sono più importanti capacità logiche e di ragionamento matematico piuttosto che conoscenze tecniche. Questo volume raccoglie i temi assegnati nelle edizioni fin qui svolte risolti e commentati. I quesiti assegnati, tutti di tipo dimostrativo, rendono questo volume interessante per docenti e studenti che intendano avvicinarsi alle competizioni matematiche.
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in United States, causing more than 440,000 deaths annually and resulting in $193 billion in health-related economic losses each year-$96 billion in direct medical costs and $97 billion in lost productivity. Since the first U.S. Surgeon General's report on smoking in 1964, more than 29 Surgeon General's reports, drawing on data from thousands of studies, have documented the overwhelming and conclusive biologic, epidemiologic, behavioral, and pharmacologic evidence that tobacco use is deadly. This evidence base links tobacco use to the development of multiple types of cancer and other life-threatening conditions, including cardiovascular a...
This book, for the first time, comprehensively assembles and analyzes a large body of information on the role of the fundamental mechanism of the protein biosynthesis pathway, translation, in cancer biology. It systematically explores the function of the translation machinery and its regulation, including cell signaling, in the development, maintenance and progression of human cancer. The work presented here unveils the tremendous potential and applications of this vast and exciting branch of genetic, biochemical and molecular science in cancer medicine and drug development. Chapters contributed by experts in the field take the reader on a journey that starts with a dissection of the transla...
This Surgeon General's report details the causes and the consequences of tobacco use among youth and young adults by focusing on the social, environmental, advertising, and marketing influences that encourage youth and young adults to initiate and sustain tobacco use. This is the first time tobacco data on young adults as a discrete population have been explored in detail. The report also highlights successful strategies to prevent young people from using tobacco
