Fungal Pathogenesis in Humans
Dear Colleagues, Cancer survival rates and successful organ transplantation in patients continues to increase due to improvements in early diagnosis and treatments. Since immuno-suppressive therapies are frequently used, the mortality rate due to secondary infections has become an ever-increasing problem. Opportunistic fungal infections are probably the deadliest threat to these patients due to their difficult early diagnosis, the limited effect of antifungal drugs and the appearance of resistances. In recent years, a considerable effort has been devoted to investigating the role of many virulence traits in the pathogenic outcome of fungal infections. New virulence factors (hypoxia adaptatio...
What's Next for Social Protection in Light of COVID-19: Challenges Ahead
In 2020, the extensive consequences of the COVID-19 crisis placed social protection even more squarely at the centre of attention. As the health, economic and social impacts of COVID-19 echoed all over the world, social protection programmes were urgently developed, adapted, or extended to support those most affected. In celebration of socialprotection.org's 5-year anniversary, a global online event took place focusing on the global health crisis. This issue of Policy in Focus delves more in depth into the main topics discussed during the round tables, such as financing, universal basic income, linkages to food security and employment, as well as gender-, child-, and disability-sensitive programmes, among others. All articles were written by panellists and/or organisers of the conference.
What's Next for Social Protection in Light of COVID-19: Country Responses
The COVID-19 crisis has had a huge impact on the world of social protection. The pandemic has alerted national governments and the international community to the urgency of accelerating progress in building and expanding social protection systems and programmes to leave no one behind. From 5 to 8 October 2020, the socialprotection.org team organised a global e-conference titled 'Turning the COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity: What's next for social protection?'. To further disseminate its key discussions, the socialprotection.org platform and the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) have developed two special issues of Policy in Focus. This first issue focuses on experiences from countries in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the overall lessons for the future, including shock-responsive and universal social protection.

Everyone loves chibi, the newest, hottest manga style out of Asia. Chibis—characters that range from hypercute miniature people to bizarrely sexy furry characters—come in all varieties, all roles, including chibi teenagers, faeries, schoolgirls, nurses, mermaids, devils, angels, and everything in between. Now Christopher Hart, the world's best-selling author of cartoon and drawing titles, shows readers exactly how to draw chibis, infusing them with personality and creating authentic costumes for them. Cute chibi-style monsters (small yet powerful), appealing cat-girls (humanlike, but with feline traits), superdeformed manga/chibi characters (used to make funny wisecracks)—every type of chibi character is shown here in crystal clear, step-by-step drawings. Manga Mania Chibi and Furry Characters will get every manga fan in on the chibi fun.

Conversas com refugiados: entre a hospitalidade e a hostilidade
A presente obra pretende lançar sobre o fenômeno do refúgio um olhar holístico que compreenda a relação existente entre a concretude da experiência humana e a abstração da legislação. Imbuído desse propósito, o livro estrutura-se sobre três eixos centrais: o aporte teórico, os elementos normativos e as vivências de refugiadas e refugiados; sendo que este último é o ponto central do estudo desenvolvido, que se baseia precisamente na diversidade de vivências no refúgio. Tal perspectiva não intenta trazer respostas, mas levantar reflexões que possam superar uma perspectiva virtual e homogeneizante dos refúgios. O enfoque é direcionado a três domínios: o primeiro deles ...
