Marine mammals (MMs) are regarded as valuable bioindicators with tremendous potential for public health. However, many aspects of their immune system remain poorly understood. Monitoring immune responses of MMs is pivotal for the health assessment of both individuals and populations, as well as providing the scientific basis for analyzing the anthropogenic environmental impact on marine ecosystems and marine-terrestrial interphases. For instance, the increasing susceptibility of Mediterranean whale and dolphin populations to various diseases has been linked to a possible negative influence of multiple environmental factors on the immune system of MMs. The currently limited knowledge on MM im...
A história que encantou milhares de corações. Sara Crewe é a prova de que a nobreza nem sempre está atrelada ao nascimento. Deixada sem nenhum bem material após ser comunicada sobre a morte do pai, Sara enfrenta o frio e a fome e, para sobreviver, começa a trabalhar arduamente no internato em que estuda. Diante de tantas dificuldades, ela usa o poder da imaginação e a memória de seus dias na Índia para manter a sanidade, criando para si um mundo de fantasia – uma riqueza imaterial que ninguém pode tomar dela.
At present, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Psychiatry is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Psychiatry. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Psychiatry research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems. Please note: To be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
This volume covers the most important parasitic protists that are known to infect humans. The pathogens discussed cause diseases like toxoplasmosis, malaria, cryptosporidiosis, leishmaniasis, amoebiasis, trichomoniasis, and giardiasis. Readers from microbiology will appreciate the special focus on protist cell biology. As demonstrated in several of the chapters, these parasites are characterized by peculiar structures and organelles that cannot be found in mammalian cells – even though both are eukaryotic. The book employs light and electron microscopy to display the changing morphology in various stages of parasitic development. In turn, the results are supplemented by transcriptome and proteome profiles that help to describe how these changes take place on a molecular level. Both researchers and clinicians from tropical medicine will find essential and practically applicable background information on these increasingly important pathogens.
The proposed book titled as “Bioprospection of Coproducts and Agro-industrial Wastes: A Sustainable Biotechnological Approach”, seeks to offer the importance of the recycling, reuse of food residue, byproducts of fruits and agri-wastes to the academic community and industries. In developing countries facing malnutrition and environmental problems, this book would be very useful. The food waste and the residues resulting from this process are now becoming environmental problems. These mainly include leaves, stems, seeds, bark, and roots that have high nutritional value, many times even greater than the part usually consumed. It is a pressing priority to reuse and recycle the waste which is detrimental to the environment. This book would be an essential reading for students, researchers, and people from the food and pharma industry.
The Ethics of Collecting Trauma offers an interdisciplinary dialogue on the ethics of contemporary museums that are involved in collecting moments of collective trauma. Including a range of international contributions, the volume explores the ethics of collecting material that documents contemporary traumatic events. The case studies focus on four categories of such events: forced migration; terrorism attacks; major natural disasters; and cultural traumas, such as the ongoing legacy of colonization. Contributors consider whether cultural institutions have a right to collect materials about these events and what kind of materials they should focus on, if so; who is being memorialized, who sho...
Ao longo dos anos, o Seminário Discente tem evoluído, proporcionando experiências construtivas e oportunidades para os participantes integrarem a organização de congressos. As edições anteriores resultaram em livros que refletem a diversidade e a qualidade dos trabalhos apresentados. Na VIII edição, superamos mais uma vez nossos próprios números, reunindo 14 grupos de trabalho, apresentando 75 trabalhos e promovendo 6 minicursos. Trouxemos para a abertura uma digital influencer que tem como conteúdo assuntos sociais que são caros e sensíveis na e para a academia. Nesta oitava edição, celebramos a superação de recordes, com a participação de mais de 100 pessoas, incluindo ...
Conforme a sociedade vai evoluindo e se tornando virtualizada, surgem novas demandas a serem reguladas pelo Direito. O processo de digitalização dos bens, bem como a monetização de conteúdos produzidos na internet fazem parte da nova dinâmica social oriunda da revolução tecnológica, resultando na modificação substancial dos tipos de bens acumulados durante a vida e na sua transmissão post mortem. Assim nasceu o instituto jurídico conhecido como Herança Digital.
This book presents studies on the management of the Brazilian world heritage and its international counterparts, relating its preservationist practices to the risks and alerts that run its maintenance in the face of so many challenges in the contemporary world. The book has encouraged scholars from a wide variety of disciplines to contribute their valuable knowledge to research on the management and risks of Brazil's world heritage. It is a bold initiative that brings together contemporary studies on management, alerts and risks of the Brazilian world heritage and some international examples. It stands out not only for its interdisciplinary approach, but above all for compiling a wide range of approaches that analyze various dimensions of world heritage management. Unique experience in the management of world heritage allocated to Brazilian territory, this book was written by prominent academics and heritage management professionals and includes national and international case studies. It is a comprehensive academic book in Brazilian world heritage management literature and can therefore be used as an authoritative reference source as well as a significant teaching tool.
