The book also highlights important causes of mental disorders in children.
The continuing AIDS pandemic reminds us that despite the unrelenting quest for knowledge since the early 1980s, we have much to learn about HIV and AIDS. This terrible syndrome represents one of the greatest challenges for science and medicine. The purpose of this book is to aid clinicians, provide a source of inspiration for researchers, and serve as a guide for graduate students in their continued search for a cure of HIV. The first part of this book, "From the laboratory to the clinic," and the second part, "From the clinic to the patients," represent the unique but intertwined mission of this work: to provide basic and clinical knowledge on HIV/AIDS.

Sedan 2006 har antalet barn som har en adhd-diagnos mer än sjufaldigats i Sverige. Och nu ökar adhd-diagnoserna ännu snabbare bland vuxna. Katarina Bjärvall ser diagnosboomen som en störning inte hos dem som har adhd utan hos det samhälle vi har skapat. I Störningen visar hon hur ökad stress och höjda krav på prestationer i skolan, arbetslivet och vården får antalet diagnoser att fortsätta skjuta i höjden. Hon granskar också hur läkemedelsindustrin driver på och profiterar på utvecklingen. Katarina Bjärvall är journalist och författare. Hon har tidigare bland annat skrivit böckerna Vill ha mer. Om barn, tid och konsumtion (2005), Var är du? Människan och mobilen (2011) och Yes! Därför köper vi det vi inte behöver (2015).
In seinem zweiten Buch konzentriert sich Peter C. Gøtzsche auf die Missstände in der psychiatrischen Behandlung, bei der die Profitgier von Ärzten und Pharmaindustrie über das Wohl der Patienten gestellt wird. Anhand fundierter wissenschaftlicher Recherchen und Studien deckt er ein Geflecht aus Fehldiagnosen, Korruption und Lügen auf. Dabei geht er verbreiteten Falschaussagen wie diesen auf den Grund: -Psychische Krankheiten werden durch ein chemisches Ungleichgewicht im Gehirn hervorgerufen. -Behandlungen mit Psychopharmaka führen nicht zu einer Abhängigkeit. -Antidepressiva schützen Patienten vor Selbstmord. Betroffen sind davon nicht nur wenige psychisch Kranke, die in Kliniken behandelt werden, sondern darüber hinaus eine breite Masse der Bevölkerung, deren akutes psychisches Tief oft vorschnell zu einer chronischen Erkrankung aufgebaut wird. Neben einem tiefen Einblick in ein nur vermeintlich wissenschaftlich verlässliches Gebiet bietet der Autor aber auch Lösungen an und hilft so Patienten und Ärzten, einen Weg zu finden, der aus bestehenden Mustern hinausführt.
This book covers a wide range of important topics including but not limited to Technology Trends, Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Vision, Communication, Security, e-Learning, and Ambient Intelligence and their applications to the real world. The sixth Future Technologies Conference 2021 was organized virtually and received a total of 531 submissions from academic pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all over the world. After a double-blind peer review process, 191 submissions have been selected to be included in these proceedings. One of the meaningful and valuable dimensions of this conference is the way it brings together a large group of technology geniuses in one venue to not only present breakthrough research in future technologies, but also to promote discussions and debate of relevant issues, challenges, opportunities and research findings. We hope that readers find the book interesting, exciting, and inspiring; it provides the state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems along with a vision of the future research.
This book looks at how digital technologies are revolutionizing electoral campaigns and democratization struggles in Africa. Digital technologies are giving voice and civic agency to a cross section of African voters, providing important spaces for political engagement and debate. Drawing on cases from Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe amongst others, this book traces the shifts and tensions in this changing electoral communications landscape. In doing so, the book explores themes such as hate speech and disinformation, decolonisation, surveillance, internet shutdowns, influencers, bots, algorithms, and election observation, and looks beyond Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and YouTube to the increasingly important role of visual platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Particularly highlighting the contribution of African scholars, this book is an important guide for researchers across the fields of African politics, media studies, and electoral studies, as well as to professionals and policymakers in political communication.
