Download or read book The Return of Epidemics written by Marcos Cueto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long recognized epidemics to be a significant, though sometimes hidden, factor in the fortunes of societies and civilizations. The study of epidemics heightens our understanding of relationships between economic systems and living conditions. It illuminates the ideologies and religious beliefs of the affected community and illustrates the efforts and inadequacies of public health systems. This investigation of the history of epidemics in various parts of Peru during the twentieth century opens up a new field for Latin American studies to include health and disease. These are important areas of the past that enable us to understand better the living conditions of people, the role of state authority and the dynamics of social movement. Marcos Cueto examines five series of epidemics: the bubonic plague of 1903-1930; the fever epidemic of 1919-1922; the typhus and small pox epidemics in the Andes; attempts to control and eradicate malaria, and the cholera epidemics of 1991. In each case he studies the biological and ecological factors that caused the outbreak, and the techniques and policies applied to fight it, together with the response of the affected society. The experience of epidemics in Peru has been cyclical. Poverty breeds disease which in turn results in further poverty. One of the aims of this study is to highlight areas of success and failure in the fight against epidemics in the hope that such awareness may help break this vicious circle.

Download or read book The Intellectual Property Regulatory Complex written by Emily Marden and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-03-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in agricultural genomics could help address pressing global issues, such as world hunger, by improving crop yield. However, overlap and conflict in intellectual property and biosafety regimes – known collectively as the “Intellectual Property–Regulatory Complex” – create significant barriers to innovation. In this collection, leading legal, policy, and economics experts analyze the impact of the Complex on agricultural genomics. They reveal how it impacts scientific advancement in ways that are underappreciated when intellectual property and biosafety regimes are examined in isolation. After identifying how the interplay between multiple regimes impedes research, development, and product distribution, they propose solutions that would further the aims of the current intellectual property and biosafety regimes while enabling growth and innovation in agricultural genomics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calidad, evaluación, análisis, sitios web? ¿Qué tienen en común todas estas palabras clave para que merezcan la atención del público de esta colección? El punto que lo une todo es la necesidad de un amplio y a la vez muy diverso colectivo profesional de saber qué es lo que hace que un sitio web responda a criterios de calidad. Pongamos el ejemplo de un profesional de la web que recibe el encargo de auditar los sitios web de una empresa de comercio electrónico: quiere estar segura de que está a la altura de sus competidores internacionales; o el de un equipo de investigadores académicos que se pregunta cómo están incorporando las webs de turismo las más recientes posibilidades de interacción debidas a la web 2.0. Lo que tienen en común escenarios y objetivos tan diversos es que, en todos ellos, sus protagonistas necesitarán disponer de alguna herramienta que los ayude a determinar qué necesitan saber en relación con una web determinada o un conjunto de sitios web. Este libro intenta aportar esos instrumentos.

Download or read book Sea Turtles of the Eastern Pacific written by Jeffrey A. Seminoff and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea turtles are flagship species for the world's oceans. They traverse international boundaries during their migrations, serve as vehicles for marine nutrients to terrestrial habitats, and embody the often tenuous relationship between human action and ecosystem health. The East Pacific Ocean is home to some of the most dynamic marine ecosystems, and the most unique sea turtles. Marine biodiversity within this massive ocean region abounds in mangrove estuaries, seagrass pastures, coral reefs, the open ocean, and many other habitats, with sea turtles often the most conspicuous species present. The distinctive traits of the Eastern Pacific have resulted in the smallest leatherbacks, a singular morph of the green turtle, dark and steeply domed olive ridleys, and the most cryptic hawksbills on the planet. Only now are we beginning to understand how these varieties have evolved. However, the oceanographic conditions that make this an epicenter of sea turtle activity also promote massive artisanal and industrial fishing efforts that, coupled with illegal harvesting of eggs and turtles, have led to declines of several turtle populations in the region. The essays and stories in Sea Turtles of the Eastern Pacific describe for the first time the history of this exploitation, as well as recent sea turtle conservation initiatives and scientific research in the region. The first third of the book considers the biology of the turtles, focusing on general overviews of current ecological management challenges facing the turtles' survival. The second third treats issues of marine policy related to turtle conservation. In conclusion, the book offers six compelling stories of conservation success. By the end, readers will have gained a in-depth view not only of these magnificent creatures, but also the people involved in research and conservation efforts in one of the most remarkable regions of our planet.
