Women's Health in an Interdisciplinary Dimension – Determinants of Nutritional Disorders
The increase in the prevalence of diet-related diseases in the female population since the second half of the 20th century is likely the result of increasing life expectancy combined with increased exposure to environmental factors, including lifestyle. To date, the exact mechanism for the development of many nutrition-related diseases remains unknown. Mainly because of the multifactorial etiology. It is often forgotten that human biology and pathophysiology are regulated at the level of gene expression. "Genetics loads the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger" by Judith Stern illustrates the complex relationship between diseases and environmental factors. The analogy accurately conveys that disease phenotypes are not only the result of interactions between different genes but also between genes and environmental determinants.
Nutrition and Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger
Building on the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, billed by the UN as “an agenda of unprecedented scope and significance.” These seventeen goals are conceived as integrated, indivisible, and as balancing the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. To be achieved by 2030, the goals are organized around five core pillars: people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership. As a member of the SDGs Publishers Compact, Frontiers is committed to advocating the themes represented by the SDGs and accelerating progress to achieve them. Nutr...

Until the Storm Passes
A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Until the Storm Passes reveals how Brazil's 1964–1985 military dictatorship contributed to its own demise by alienating the civilian political elites who initially helped bring it to power. Based on exhaustive research conducted in nearly twenty archives in five countries, as well as on oral histories with surviving politicians from the period, this book tells the surprising story of how the alternatingly self-interested and heroic resistance of the political class contributed decisively to Brazil's democratization. As they gradually turned against military rule, politicians began to embrace a political role for the masses that most of them would never have accepted in 1964, thus setting the stage for the breathtaking expansion of democracy that Brazil enjoyed over the next three decades.
