Plants and Phytomolecules for Immunomodulation
This book describes the process of immunomodulation and the plants which possess immunomodulation properties to boost the immune system. The immunomodulation process is highly relevant to address emerging as well as existing diseases in humans. A better immune system triggers the cellular responses for neutralizing and combating the onset of disease conditions. Chapters in the book discuss plants that have profound effects on the health and well-being of humans. They discuss the natural phytochemicals that have immense diversity and uniqueness of molecules. Molecules belonging to phenylpropanoids, terpenoids, steroids, alkaloids, and tannins etc possess a variety of pharmacological activities. The chapters describe how bioactive exert effects even when taken as part of the diet, supplement, and or as traditional herbal medicine. This book provides up-to-date scientific knowledge about the activities and mechanisms and leads in the area of medicinal plants and phytochemicals with immunomodulation properties. This book is meant for students, academics, researchers, and industry professionals interested in pharmacology, immunology, and plant secondary metabolites.
Routledge Handbook on Arab Cinema
Building on a growing body of literature, this Handbook provides an up-to-date and authoritative survey of Arab cinema. The collection includes contributions from academics and filmmakers from across the Arab region, Europe, and North America, and fills a gap in media studies by examining the entire Arab region, rather than focusing on one country or theme. The Handbook also sheds light on the heterogeneity of Arab filmmaking not only within the Arab region, but also globally, within diasporic communities. It is split into six parts: Part 1 provides an overview of each sub-region in the Arab world, including a chapter on Arab animation films. Parts 2, 3, and 4 address topical themes, encompassing the representation of gender, religion, and identity politics in Arab cinema. Part 5 discusses the theme of diaspora and Part 6 concludes the volume with reflective essays penned by selected diasporic filmmakers. This book is an essential reference for Arab media and cinema scholars, students, and professional filmmakers. With case studies from across the Arab region, it's also a valuable resource for anyone interested in film and media, global cinema, and the Middle East generally.
Mit Rotwein gegen Krebs
Für jeden dritten Krebstoten sind Ernährungsfaktoren verantwortlich. Die Aufklärung scheitert, weil die Meinungen über den Nutzen von Pflanzen-Inhaltsstoffen selbst bei Experten auseinander gehen. In der Diskussion wird die Rolle des Rotweins verschleiert, da zwischen Rotwein und Alkohol nicht differenziert wird. Indem der Autor die Grundlagen der Krebsentstehung aufzeigt, gelingt es ihm auf eindrucksvolle Weise darzulegen, wie dieser Prozess mit den Inhaltsstoffen des richtigen Rotweins aufgehalten und bekämpft werden kann. Nicht nur beim Rotwein muss umgedacht werden. Zucker wird als größter Krebsauslöser entlarvt und der Segen von Radikalen bei der Krebsbekämpfung erkannt.
Textielmeisjes
Waarom werk en de belofte van vrijheid door globalisering vrouwen in Egypte juist onderdrukking bracht. Van de auteur van Fabrieksmeisjes. Voor de lezers van De Correspondent. Ontluisterend portret van drie vrouwen in de Egyptische textielindustrie. In dit indringende portret volgt Leslie Chang enkele jaren lang drie jonge vrouwen in Egypte. De maatschappij doet er alles aan om hun ontwikkeling te dwarsbomen. Chang beschrijft het falende onderwijssysteem, de conservatieve huwelijksverwachtingen en het economische beleid dat hen tegenwerkt. Riham, een slimme zakenvrouw in de eeuwenoude textielindustrie, lukt het maar niet nieuwe werknemers voor haar kledingbedrijf aan te trekken. Rania werkt ...
Egypt
Azmi Bishara's seminal study of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution chronicles in granular detail the lead up to the momentous uprisings and the subsequent transition and coup. The book critically investigates the social and economic conditions that formed the backdrop to the revolution and the complex challenges posed by the transition from authoritarianism to democracy. Part One, 'From July Coup to January Revolution', goes back to what is called the '1952 revolution' or the '1952 Coup d'état' and traces events until 2011 when Hosni Mubarak stepped down as the president of Egypt after weeks of protest. It highlights the relationship between the presidency and the army to show that, contrary to p...
Flaxseed in Human Nutrition, Second Edition
Since 1995, when the first edition of Flaxseed in Human Nutrition was published, the consumer and food industry interest in flaxseed as a beneficial component in the human diet has continued to grow as the scientific literature on this subject has expanded over the past decade. This second edition of Flaxseed in Human Nutrition provides the current status of the knowledge about the analysis and composition of flaxseed, the metabolism and bioavailability of its major components, the effect of flaxseed on development and disease, processing of flaxseed, and availability of flaxseed products. Some of the research in these areas was just emerging in the early to mid-1990's and was incomplete or not described when the first edition was published.
Plant Lectins
This volume surveys the chemistry, biochemistry, biosynthesis, metabolism and pharmacological properties of lectins. Lectins, which are most commonly found in plants, are widespread natural products with striking biological activities. Their specific ability to recognise and bind to simple or complex saccharides facilitates their role as effective information protein molecules. As agents of cell-to-cell recognition, lectins promote symbiosis between plants and specific nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria. As natural defensive molecules, they can protect plants against predators such as bacteria, fungi and insects. As part of our diet, lectins are powerful exogenous growth factors in the small intestine and influence our health, the digestive function and the bacterial ecology of the alimentary tract. Lectins are also important research tools in preparative biochemistry and cell science.
