Untuk bertahan hidup manusia memerlukan makanan. Karena makanan mengandung zat-zat penting dalam tubuh. Karena kesadaran akan pentingnya makanan maka manusia memperhatikan dengan sangat serius, sehingga lahirlah peneliti mengenai zat-zat makanan yang akhirnya zat tersebut dinamakan gizi. Dalam setiap proses tubuh memerlukan zat gizi tertentu. Untuk menjalankan fungsinya, semua komponen gizi harus dicukupi, ada yang dibutuhkan dalam jumlah besar dan ada pula dalam jumlah kecil. Zat gizi yang memberikan energi adalah karbohidrat, lemak, dan protein, sedangkan mineral, air dan vitamin diperlukan untuk mengatur proses tubuh. Pada dasarnya semua zat gizi itu mutlak diperlukan. Walaupun sebagian opini masyarakat mengatakan vitamin dan mineral tidak terlalu penting karena hanya sedikit diperlukan, tetapi perlu ditekankan bahwa zat tersebut memberi pengaruh besar pada mekanisme kerja tubuh.
Employees are being given more and more decisions to make with regards to their pension and healthcare plans. Yet increasing research in the social sciences shows that the decisions 'real' people make are not those of the thoughtful and well-informed economic agent often portrayed in economic research, but are often based on flawed information and made without a full understanding of their financial implications. The contributors to Pension Design and Structure explore theassumptions behind commonly-held theories of retirement decision-making, and the consequences of the growing volume of research in behavioural finance and economics for the field of pension research. Contributors are drawn from a variety of disciplines, and include leading pensions experts.

The history of Buddhism has been characterized by an ongoing tension between attempts to preserve traditional ideals and modes of practice and the need to adapt to changing cultural conditions. Many developments in Buddhist history, such as the infusion of esoteric rituals, the rise of devotionalism and lay movements, and the assimilation of warrior practices, reflect the impact of widespread social changes on traditional religious structures. At the same time, Buddhism has been able to maintain its doctrinal purity to a remarkable degree. This volume explores how traditional Buddhist communities have responded to the challenges of modernity, such as science and technology, colonialism, and ...
Forty-five percent of adolescents ages 15-19 have had sexual intercourse. By age 19, 75% of all adolescents have had sexual intercourse. Most adolescents select condoms as their most reliable method of contraception. The United States continues to rank among the highest of all similarly developed countries in rates of adolescent pregnancy, and the unintended pregnancy rate is highest among women ages 20-24. The reasons for these public health statistics are myriad, but a major issue is that adolescents and young women use contraception inconsistently. Thus, there is a need for youth to learn about and use contraception consistently and effectively. Unfortunately, misinformation abounds, even...

This book is intended to be a companion volume to 'Protein Nutrition in Ruminants' (1982, Academic Press), which emphasized both the role of proteins and new systems for their evaluation. Here the focus is on energy-yielding nutrients and problems involved in evaluating them. Nonetheless in both volumes there is explicit recognition of the interdependence of energy and protein nutrition. I have not attempted to review comprehensively all the literature relating to ruminant energy nutrition and must apologize to colleagues whose work is not fully reported. Where possible tables and figures are taken from the studies of our group at the Rowett Research Institute since, if for no other reason, ...
Contemporary Islam provides a counterweight to the prevailing opinions of Islamic thought as conservative and static with a preference for violence over dialogue. It gathers together a collection of eminent scholars from around the world who tackle issues such as intellectual pluralism, gender, the ethics of political participation, human rights, non-violence and religious harmony. This is a highly topical and important study which gives a progressive outlook for Islam's role in modern politics and society.
