Reactive Oxygen Species
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are molecules generated naturally during cellular metabolic processes. They act as signaling agents that oversee specific biochemical pathways, playing a vital role in cell function and survival. However, an imbalance in ROS signaling or excessive ROS production can have harmful effects on the pathophysiology of diseases. ROS are crucial to cell signaling and are involved in various physiological processes. They modulate gene expression, regulate cell cycle progression, and influence immune responses. Although ROS are essential for normal cellular functions, an overabundance of these molecules can lead to oxidative stress, causing DNA damage, lipid peroxidation,...
The COVID-19 Pandemic
This timely volume is a comprehensive review of the evolution, diagnosis, prevention, control, and treatment strategies (both modern as well as complementary and alternative) being used against COVID-19. With chapters written by experts in diverse medical fields from around the world, the volume presents authentic and easily understood information on this novel and often deadly virus. The book is organized in sections that cover pathology, epidemiology, and diagnosis; prevention strategies; and treatment. The book first covers the morphology, pathogenesis, genome organization and replication of coronavirus (COVID-19) and then goes on to address epidemiology and pathogenesis, the psychological effects, and detection assays and techniques. Chapters on prevention strategies discuss social distancing and quarantine, face masks and hand sanitizers, lockdown strategies, and vaccines. The authors also cover diverse treatment strategies, including using medicinal plants, natural products, and traditional Chinese medicines as well as nanomedicines.
Social Change in the Gulf Region
This open access book, comprising thirty-nine chapters divided into social, cultural, economic, and political spheres, offers a unique opportunity to dive into the complex, dynamic, and sometimes contradictory transformation of Gulf societies in the last few decades. Whilst the Gulf region has at times been seen as impervious to this natural phenomenon of transformation—timeless, never changing, deeply rooted in its ancient tribal customs and traditions and able to blend past and present seamlessly without suffering the wrenching trauma of change—this is clearly not the case, and the region is not immune to the inevitable forces of social change. There is no doubt today that the social c...
Integrated Approach to Technology in Education in India
This book explores the evolution of Integrated approach to Technology in Education (ITE), an initiative of Tata Trusts in India, and the many innovative ways in which it has helped enrich the learning process and fostered new skills for young people, especially those living in challenging environments. The book offers an in-depth look into authentic, creative and project-based learning experiences that have been facilitated by using technology in education in different settings in India, with case studies about opportunities and challenges of implementing ITE in the tribal pockets of West Bengal and Maharashtra, madrasas in West Bengal, government schools in rural Assam and sites in Uttar Pr...
Cybersecurity for Internet of Health Things
Healthcare is one of the industries that has embraced and benefitted the most from improved internet connectivity and usage. Since the number of healthcare service seekers across the world is growing at a rapid pace, service providers rely on the internet-connected ecosystem, which is also known as the critical health infrastructure, Internet of Health Things (IoHT) or Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). The importance of IoHT was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. While these technologies provide huge benefits, it goes hand in hand with malicious xploitation. Cybercrime costs are projected to hit 1 trillion USD per month by 2031. Healthcare is one of the most susceptible industries for cybercrime. There has been a massive surge in cyber-attacks, and newer variants of cyber threats are emerging. This book addresses the challenges associated with modern healthcare, which will provide a bigger picture of the evolution, trends, techniques, impact on critical infrastructures, national security, countermeasures, and open research directions in this area. In addition, it serves as a single source of reference of knowledge on the topic.
Disrupting Hate in Education
Disrupting Hate in Education aims to identify and respond to the ideological forms of hate and fear that are present in schools, which echo larger nativist and populist agendas. Contributions to this volume are international in scope, providing powerful examples from US schools and communities, examining anti-extremism work in the UK, the "saffronization" of schools in India, struggles to re-orient the villainization of teachers in Brazil, and more. Written by a dynamic group of activist educators and critical researchers, chapters demonstrate how conservative mobilizations around collective identities gain momentum, and how these mobilizations can be interrupted. Out of these interruptions come new opportunities to practice a critically democratic education that hinges upon risk-taking, deep dialogue, and creating a space for common dignity.
World Englishes in the Arab Gulf States
Kay Gallagher gathers insightful research from across the lower Arabian gulf to uncover the richness and diversity of World Englishes within the contemporary Arab Gulf states. Her volume presents novel research from this emerging nexus of rapid economic, social, and linguistic development. The countries of the lower Arabian Gulf (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) have, to varying degrees, harnessed English as an internal working language and as a means to communicate globally. Gulf countries that have not featured much in the WE literature to date are highlighted in this volume, including Bahrain and Kuwait, and the use of English in the emerging colos...
