Clean Energy Diplomacy
This book systematically constructs theories of clean energy diplomacy in the context of the changing international strategic landscape of energy and climate. It aims to explain the scientific connotations and innovative significance of clean energy diplomacy. The book focuses on analyzing how the development of renewable energy, including wind, solar, and biomass, plays out in the evolution of the international power system. It also touches upon energy efficiency and complementary energy technologies. This book integrates the studies of traditional energy and environmental diplomacy and defines its connotations and extensions from the perspective of major country diplomatic strategy. Based ...
Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Fibrosis
Worldwide, liver fibrosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and is associated with a high medical and economic burden. It is the common consequence of chronic liver injury due to various etiologies. During fibrogenesis, there is a progressive substitution of the liver parenchyma by scar tissue. Recent advances in the understanding of the history of liver fibrosis have shown that the pathogenesis is driven by different cell types and a large variety of soluble mediators. At present, scientists working in this field aim to increase basic knowledge, improve diagnostics, and try to translate experimental findings into new treatment modalities. This book includes 12 selected contributions from the Special Issue “Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Fibrosis” that was published in Cells. These articles summarize current perspectives and findings in hepatic fibrosis research showing how scientists try to use basic scientific research to create new therapies and diagnostics.
The European Union in International Climate Change Politics
In recent years climate change has emerged as an issue of central political importance while the EU has become a major player in international climate change politics. How can a ‘leaderless Europe’ offer leadership in international climate change politics - even in the wake of the UK’s Brexit decision? This book, which has been written by leading experts, offers a critical analysis of the EU leadership role in international climate change politics. It focuses on the main EU institutions, core EU member states and central societal actors (businesses and environmental NGOs). It also contains an external perspective of the EU’s climate change leadership role with chapters on China, Indi...
Circulating Molecular Biomarkers: Next-Generation Tools for Monitoring Minimal Residual Disease in Cancer Patients
Traditional cancer diagnosis relies on tissue biopsy, blood testing as well as medical imaging. By the detection moment, in most cases the tumor size may reach several millimeters and the risk of distant metastasis is unavoidable. Even, following drug treatment, there is no accurate and timely way to follow up the success of treatment. New reliable tumor-specific biomarkers/tools that allow non-invasive early cancer detection as well as monitoring of anti-cancer therapeutic regime is highly demanded. To tackle limitations of traditional cancer management, liquid biopsy has emerged which screen bodily fluids using ultrasensitive biosensing systems capable of simultaneous capturing and studying horizontal gene transfer (HGT) materials including circulating tumor cells (CTCs), exosomes, cell-free DNA, and apoptotic bodies. These are messengers and/or delivery systems by which tumor cells are communicating as well as transforming/sharing new phenotypes with each other resulting in drug resistance, distant metastatic outbreaks, and cancer recurrence. Acting as next-generation prognostic and therapeutic tools call for understanding the molecular mechanisms by which HGT works to tran
The Presence of China and the Chinese Diaspora in Portugal and Portuguese-Speaking Territories
This book brings together works by specialists from various areas of the social sciences to reflect on the presence of China in Portugal and in Portuguese-speaking territories. From the first Chinese coolies that migrated to the former Portuguese colonies more than 100 years ago, to the current investments along the Belt and Road Initiative, we take the pulse of this historic, social, political and economic presence and flows, that continues to renew and reinvent itself in the face of the challenges of contemporaneity.
Foundations and Fundamentals in Human-Computer Interaction
This book serves as a foundation to the field of HCI, equipping readers with the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in this field. This book Discusses human functionalities and characteristics relevant to interaction, including sensory perception, attention and memory, language and communication, emotions, decision-making, as well as mental models, human error, and human actions. Explores the evolution of HCI design approaches and the role of social and organizational psychology in HCI Discusses key concepts and societal aspects of interactive technologies, such as user acceptance, ethics, privacy, and trust. Covers the historical background, contributing disciplines, essential concepts, and theories within the domain. This book will appeal to individuals interested in Human–Computer Interaction research and applications.
Truth
Ecologies of truth in a post-truth era. The problem with Neo-Nazis is not that they don’t trust the media but that they trust them too much. White supremacists are absolutely convinced by their supremacy. They distrust technologies and climate change as much as the global poor because, as white Europeans, they believe they are exempt from exploitation. This book argues that the only truths possible in the 21st century are mobile, inventive practices involving everything European models of communication exclude: technologies, nature, and leftover humanity. Tracing histories of their separation, Truth analyzes the struggle between the new dominance of information systems and the sensory worl...
