مجمع انتاجي للزراعة المستدامة
يُقدّم المشروع استجابة معمارية مباشرة لمشكلة الأمن الغذائي التي تفاقمت نتيجة التمدّن السريع وتراجع المساحات الزراعية داخل المدن. ومع ازدياد الطلب على الغذاء وتحوّل الأراضي إلى كتل عمرانية، أصبح البحث عن حلول معمارية قادرة على دمج الإنتاج الغذائي ضمن البيئة الحضرية أمراً ملحّاً. من هنا يأتي اعتماد الزراعة العمودية كخيار استراتيجي يتيح استثمار الارتفاع لتعويض فقدان المساحة الأفقية.يعتمد التصميم على إنشاء منشأة معمارية تجمع بين الوظيفة الإنتاجية والبعد التعليمي، بحيث تشكّل “بنية تحتية غذائية” تعمل داخل المدينة. تم تطوير الكتلة بشكل رأسي يسمح بدخول الضوء الطبيعي، وتحقيق كفاءة في استخدام الطاقة، وتنظيم عمليات الزراعة على مستويات متعددة. كما تم توظيف واجهات شفافة، وأنظمة تهوية وإضاءة مدروسة لتعزيز الأداء البيئي للمبنى وضمان بيئة نمو مثالية.على المستوى الإنشائي، يستند المشروع إلى هيكل معدني خفيف يمنح مرونة في توزيع المساحات وإمكانية تطوير المنشأة مستقبلاً. وتأتي المساقط الداخلية بانسيابية تُمكّن من دمج المسارات التعليمية والبحثية مع مناطق الإنتاج، مما يعزز الدور التوعوي للمبنى ويجعله نقطة جذب للطلاب والزوار والمهتمين بالزراعة المستدامة.
Zero Distance : Management in the Quantum Age
This book offers a new management meta-theory to replace Taylorism. It presents a new paradigm in management thinking and a new, practical organizational model for implementing it in our personal and working lives, in our companies, in our communities and nations, and in a sustainable global order. It will offer an understanding of why and how “thinking-as-usual” is failing both business and political leaders in these new times, and it will advocate new thinking and new management practices that are so radically new that they turn everything we have taken for granted inside out and upside down.
Zebrafish : Methods and protocols
Introduces new tools, models, and analytic insights that position the zebrafish even more strongly as an engine of discovery for developmental and disease biology. Beginning with a section exploring detailed methods for use of zebrafish to model a variety of human diseases, the book continues by illuminating the key ongoing role of the fish model in studies of the vertebrate nervous system, tools and approaches using zebrafish to study stem cell and regenerative biology, as well as techniques in genetics and genomics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, as well as tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Your body and stress : How it affects you and how you can manage it
Any intrinsic or extrinsic stimulus that evokes a biological response is known as stress. The compensatory responses to these stressors are known as stress responses. Based on the type, timing and severity of the applied stimulus, stress can exert various actions on the body ranging from alterations in homeostasis to life-threatening effects and death. In many cases, the pathophysiological complications of disease arise from stress and the subjects exposed to stress, e.g., those that work or live in stressful environments, have a higher likelihood of many disorders. Stress can be either a triggering or aggravating factor for many diseases and pathological conditions.
Young consumer behaviour : A research companion
Young consumer behaviour: A research companion focusses on exploring the behaviour of young consumers as individuals and societal members. The chapters address different aspects of consumption activities of children as individuals like motivation, involvement, perception, learning, attitude, the self, and personality. Similarly, chapters on consumer behaviour in social settings contextualised to young consumers including culture, sub-culture, family, and groups are incorporated into the book. This book fills a gap in the literature by addressing the dynamics of consumption patterns of this consumer group, in relation to various marketing stimuli and different stakeholders. It combines eclectic perspectives on the topic and specifically, bridges the gap between historical perspectives and contemporary issues.

Yerba mate is a natural alternative of ozempic
Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), a traditional South American herbal tea, has gained attention as a potential natural alternative to Ozempic (semaglutide), a pharmaceutical drug used for weight management and type 2 diabetes. Rich in bioactive compounds like caffeine, theobromine, chlorogenic acids, and saponins, yerba mate exhibits appetitesuppressing, metabolism-boosting, and glucose-regulating properties. Studies suggest that yerba mate may enhance satiety, promote fat oxidation, and improve insulin sensitivity, mimicking some effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic—but with fewer side effects
Wrist Arthroscopy
Dr. William B. Geissler has selected an international group of experts to compose this practical guide to wrist arthroscopy that is a comprehensive reference for both orthopedic residents new to the field and for experienced orthopedic surgeons looking to refine their technique. The book covers fundamental topics, such as arthroscopic anatomy and the proper evaluation of wrist pain, before advancing to thorough discussions of electrothermal shrinkage, arthroscopy of the thumb and small joints of the hand, and specific diagnoses for an array of common injuries. Orthopedists will appreciate the emphasis that this book places on the treatment of wrist disorders. Current minimally invasive procedures are described in detail, including management of carpal instability, new techniques in arthroscopic repair of TFCC tears, and arthroscopic excision of both volar and dorsal wrist ganglia. Tips and tricks are highlighted that make implementing new techniques easier.

Wisdom, Knowledge, and Management : A Critique and Analysis of Churchman's Systems Approach
Churchman’s Legacy and Related Works, the editors draw contributions from leading systems thinkers inspired by the works of C West Churchman. The Systems Approach and Its Enemies (C. West Churchman, 1979) is one of Churchman’s most significant works. In this particular writing he displayed two main tendencies, that he was a Skeptic and that he showed Socratic Wisdom. In Wisdom, Knowledge, and Management, the editors seeks to follow up on these two themes and reveal how modern authors interpret Churchman’s ideas, apply them to their own line of thinking and develop their own brand of Systemics.
