Myxozoan Evolution, Ecology and Development
This book provides an up-to-date review of the biology of myxozoans, which represent a divergent clade of endoparasitic cnidarians. Myxozoans are of fundamental interest in understanding how early diverging metazoans have adopted parasitic lifestyles, and are also of considerable economic and ecological concern as endoparasites of fish. Synthesizing recent research, the chapters explore issues such as myxozoan origins; evolutionary trends and diversification; development and life cycles; interactions with hosts; immunology; disease ecology; the impacts of climate change on disease; risk assessment; emerging diseases; and disease mitigation. This comprehensive work will appeal to a wide readership, from invertebrate zoologists, evolutionary biologists and developmental biologists to ecologists and parasitologists. It will also be of great practical interest to fisheries and conservation biologists. The identification of key areas for future research will appeal to scientists at all levels.
Deleuze and New Technology
This volume explores the usefulness of Deleuze's thinking about our new digital and biotechnological future.
Popular Media Cultures
Popular Media Cultures explores the relationship between audiences and media texts, their paratexts and interconnected ephemera.

Paediatric Thyroidology
This book presents a comprehensive overview of pediatric thyroid diseases and thus provides a useful tool for clinical problem solving. Opinion leaders in the field present reviews on all relevant diseases of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. Sixteen chapters cover topics ranging from fetal thyroidology, congenital hypothyroidism, central hypothyroidism, inherited defects of thyroid hormone action, cell transport and metabolism to iodine deficiency, autoimmune thyroid disease and thyroid tumors. Written by clinicians, the chapters provide in-depth information and current guidelines for clinical problems encountered in pediatric thyroidology. As a unique feature, a case seminar collection for each chapter presents typical patient histories providing key learning points and key references for clinical problem solving in family medicine, pediatric endocrinology and medical genetics. Providing a succinct update on clinical pediatric thyroidology, this book is an essential tool for pediatric and adult endocrinologists, as well as for general practitioners, pediatricians and medical geneticists.
Hungary
This Technical Assistance report highlights that the Hungarian economy is recovering gradually from a sharp recession. Restoring credit growth has become a central policy objective, seen as key to economic recovery and effective monetary transmission. Recent legislation significantly affects the banking sector. The Settlement Act requires banks to compensate borrowers for “unfair lending practices” on a retroactive basis for past unilateral contract modification and for the use of bid-ask spreads in calculating foreign currency loan disbursements. The principle areas of concern include the institutional factors and financial issues shown in the text table. The rest of this report discusses ways of mitigating the risks stemming from these factors, through setting appropriate objectives and institutional arrangements, and good operational practices. A clear mandate and well-defined objectives are critical for the effective functioning of asset management companies (AMC). Regardless of the ultimate policy objective behind the establishment of AMCs, once established, the institution should focus single minded on maximizing the value of the assets it has acquired.
Labour in a Single Shot
The book both extends and reflects upon a large-scale, international art project that has taken the form of an online database and numerous exhibitions (including the Venice Biennale and other important venues). The essays explore the social, political, and ethical ramifications of documenting global labour with a roving camera that often operates in close proximity to its human subjects. The inclusion of Antje Ehmann's journal entries, translated for the first time into English, will offer a real-time account of the workshops that will complement the scholarly essays' accounts of the videos.
Posterior Fossa Tumors
It is estimated that the functionally significant body of knowledge for a given medical specialty changes radically every 8 years. New specialties and "sub-specialization" are occurring at approximately an equal rate. Historically, established journals have not been able either to absorb this increase in publishable material or to extend their readership to the new specialists. International and national meetings, symposia and seminars, workshops, and newsletters suc cessfully bring to the attention of physicians within developing spe cialties what is occurring, but generally only in demonstration form without providing historical perspective, pathoanatomical corre lates, or extensive discus...
