This book delves into the transformative technologies and practices that are shaping the future of agriculture, emphasizing the importance of sustainability. Key themes explored in the book include: I. Digital Agricultural Techniques, Tools and Systems, which highlight the role of data analytics and automation in optimizing farm operations; II. Sustainable Development of Agricultural and Food Production, focusing on regenerative practices that promote soil health and enhance food security; III. Economic, Ecological and Social Systems for Human Development, examining how integrated approaches can enhance rural livelihoods and community resilience; IV. Sustainability in Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Practice, addressing innovations that improve animal welfare while minimizing environmental impacts. This book serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, farmers, policymakers and students, providing a multidisciplinary perspective on how innovative agricultural practices can lead to a sustainable and resilient food system.

This translational, clinically oriented book describes in detail novel approaches to cancer immunotherapy, current strategies to target tumor immunosuppression, and prognostic biomarkers for personalized cancer treatments. Since the first, very successful edition of the book was published in 2015, the original chapters have been significantly updated and entirely new chapters are included on, for example, cancer immunoprevention, aptamer-mediated cancer gene therapy, haploidentical bone marrow transplantation for pediatric malignancies, and nanoimmunotherapy. The book is published as part of the three-volume Springer series Cancer Immunology, which aims to provide an up-to-date, clinically relevant review of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. Other volumes in the series address the translational medicine context and cancer immunotherapy for organ-specific tumors. Cancer Immunology: Bench to Bedside Immunotherapy of Cancers will be of special value to clinical immunologists, hematologists, and oncologists.
Cancer treatment is a challenging issue, while the treatment modalities have extended from traditional surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy to new therapeutic approaches, including targeted therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation, and hormone therapy. Therefore, an interdisciplinary approach is needed to find a better therapeutic protocols in order to increase the prognosis and quality of life of patients with cancer. The second volume of the “Interdisciplinary Cancer Research” series, entitled “Cancer Treatment: An Interdisciplinary Approach” publishes comprehensive volumes on different cancer treatment modalities and presents the most updated and peer-reviewed articles on cancer therapy. This interdisciplinary series is of special value to researchers and practitioners working on cell biology, immunology, hematology, biochemistry, genetics, oncology and related fields. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). This interdisciplinary book will be of special value for researchers and clinicians who wish to extend their knowledge on cancer treatment.
Why do people behave in the way they do and how can we get them to change? Drawing on a large body of empirical research, Lahlou shows that people’s behaviour is predictable and shaped by ‘installations’ combining three sets of factors: what is technically possible (affordances of the environment), what people are able to do (embodied competences), and what monitors and controls behaviour (social regulation). These channel our behaviour and incline us to act one way or another in specific circumstances – in the way, for example, that when you travel by plane, the steps you take from the moment you check in to the moment you take your seat are fixed and predictable. Lahlou shows how w...
