Alternative medicines for diabetes management : Advances in pharmacognosy and medicinal chemistry

Apart from diet and exercise, the strategic use of different classes of prescribed or non-prescribed xenobiotic compounds for the restoration of euglycemic levels in the body is well known. The ongoing rivalry between the recommended usage of allopathic medicines versus ayurvedic remedies has encouraged many researchers to focus their studies on thoroughly isolating and characterizing the extracts from different parts of plants and then evaluating their relative activities via in vitro, in vivo and in some cases clinical studies.

Agroecological transitions : From theory to practice in local participatory design

There is wide agreement on the need to change the prevalent agricultural models, given their negative impacts and their incompatibility with current societal issues. Agroecological transition has been promoted as a potential solution to the ecological, social and economic problems generated by these models. It however involves a systemic, multi-scale and transdisciplinary process. Due to this complexity, the overall picture of what farms and food systems “actually are” and “might be” may not be apparent at the individual level. Yet individuals’ knowledge and values provide complementary insights on how to proceed in deepening ecological modernisation. Expertise can also provide landmarks to be considered in that process. Because local stakeholders’ experience and skills are key resources in the adaptation and adoption of agroecological transition, new conceptual and methodological frameworks and tools have to be developed to support them in the design process of such a complex transition. This book presents feedback from the ‘Territorial Agroecological Transition in Action’- TATA-BOX research project, which was devoted to these specific issues.

Advanced Bioimaging Technologies in Assessment of the Quality of Bone and Scaffold Materials : Techniques and Applications

This book provides a perspective on the current status of bioimaging technologies developed to assess the quality of musculoskeletal tissue with an emphasis on bone and cartilage. It offers evaluations of scaffold biomaterials developed for enhancing the repair of musculoskeletal tissues. These bioimaging techniques include micro-CT, nano-CT, pQCT/QCT, MRI, and ultrasound, which provide not only 2-D and 3-D images of the related organs or tissues, but also quantifications of the relevant parameters. The advance bioimaging technologies developed for the above applications are also extended by incorporating imaging contrast-enhancement materials.

Abord clinique en urologie = Clinical approach in urology

Seduced by the idea of ​​commenting on the clinical experience they have acquired during their career, the authors have deliberately approached their specialty by describing the symptoms that give the chapters their titles. They nevertheless described the differential diagnoses, the diseases involved and the treatments. After a chapter devoted to the examination of the patient, including the detours of the interrogation, back pain or scrotal pain are analyzed. The authors then turned to voiding disorders and their causes. The peculiarities of hematuria, depending on their level of origin, are described and commented on. The semiology of tumor masses is carefully detailed and, conversely, the problem of prostate cancer screening by PSA is dealt with in a separate chapter. Erectile dysfunction and penile diseases are the last chapters. In the line of the “Clinical approach” collection, this manual is easy to consult thanks to a detailed index, easy to understand because it is written in clear language and, moreover, well illustrated (21 diagrams and 2 tables). In this little book, the authors have approached urology from a perspective close to how patients feel.

A Legacy for Living Systems : Gregory Bateson as Precursor to Biosemiotics

This book represents a major attempt to revise this deficiency. Scholars from ecology, biochemistry, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, anthropology and philosophy discuss how Bateson's thinking might lead to a fruitful reframing of central problems in modern science. Most important perhaps, Bateson's bioanthropology is shown to play a key role in developing the set of ideas explored in the new field of biosemiotics. The idea that organismic life is indeed basically semiotic or communicative lies at the heart of the biosemiotic approach to the study of life.The only book of its kind, this volume provides a key resource for the quickly-growing substratum of scholars in the biosciences, philosophy and medicine who are seeking an elegant new approach to exploring highly complex systems.

An assessment framework for compliance with international space law and norms : Promoting equitable access and Use of space for emerging actors

proposes a framework for assessing countries’ levels of compliance with international space law and norms. It begins by exploring the development of two movements – the evidence-based policymaking and programming movement, and the rise of ratings and rankings research – and their growth across various disciplines. The analysis suggests that such efforts are useful in gauging the behavior of countries in space according to how well they adhere to existing space law and norms. To date, there is no comprehensive, periodic, and systematic measure of countries’ efforts to comply with space law and norms; this work endeavors to fill that gap by offering a framework in which to assess compliance.
