Campaign to end human trafficking introduces more challenges for migrating Nigerian women, author says
Book Announcement
Stacey Vanderhurst's new book “Unmaking Migrants: Nigeria's Campaign to End Human Trafficking” reveals how antitrafficking personnel have stopped thousands of women from traveling out of Nigeria and instead sent them to the federal counter-trafficking agency for investigation, protection and rehabilitation. Government officials defend this form of intervention as preemptive. Yet many of the women protest their detention, insist they were not being trafficked and demand to be released. It’s published by Cornell University Press.
The recent experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing vaccine development have drawn our attention to the system that keeps us alive: immunity. However, our immune system does more than fight against microbes. The new textbook Molecular Immunology: How Science Works by Professor Carsten Carlberg and Dr Eunike Velleuer provides an essential background in molecular immunology.
Environment experts from the University of Leicester will explore human impact on our planet’s delicate biosphere in a new book.
Bioluminescence, the “cold living light” or the “cold fire of the sea,” is extremely common in all oceans at all depths. However, this phenomenon is nearly absent in freshwater, with the exception of a freshwater limpet. More than 75% of deep-sea creatures have been reported to produce their own light. The luminescent marine plankton such as dinoflagellate, radiolarians, jellyfish, comb jellies, annelids, copepods, ostracods, mysids, amphipods, euphaeids, and tunicates form an important component in the marine food chain. Research on luminescent marine plankton is gaining momentum now-a-days owing to its importance in human health.
The proposed textbook bridges the gap between the advanced and the introductory books in numerical methods for engineering, particularly electrical engineering. Although various outstanding texts cover in detail the introductory topics suitable for undergraduates but many topics have been ignored to higher level undergraduate and the graduate. These topics include error analysis, algorithm of the methods, the application of numerical methods for engineering problem, the introduction of higher lever numerical methods such as finite difference time domain method and method of moments.
Educational technology refers to the preparation and use of electronic resources, computer applications, and audio-visual aids which are used in the teaching and learning process. For administrators, the term also includes the planning, organization validation, evaluation, and implementation of all kinds of educational programs. Educational technology is now important for the selection of appropriate teaching media as well as the development, and application of curricula. Fundamentals of Educational Technology work explains the basic facts about educational technology to inform teachers and students. The book includes 6 chapters which cover the subject in a simple manner suitable for learners in education programs
In terms of creation, standardised discourse conceives the fragment as a residue of totality and understands totality (of an artistic work, for example) as closure, the conclusion, the truth. In the book La lógica del fragmento. Arte y subversión (The Logic of the Fragment. Art and subversion), (Pre-Textos, 2022), Pilar Carrera, professor at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), analyses the fragment as a space for the emergence of meaning and significance.
Two University of Wisconsin Oshkosh emeritus geography professors joined forces on a new comprehensive yet accessible book about the state’s landforms, cultures and people. Wisconsin’s “dean of geography” John Cross wrote the text and provided many of the photos while Kazimierz Zaniewski created the unique and informative thematic maps found throughout 'The Geography of Wisconsin,' which was published in May by the University of Wisconsin Press.
Historians publish results of child abuse study in the diocese of Münster (Germany). Between 1945 and 2020, they report, at least 196 clerics – specifically, 183 priests, a permanent deacon and 12 brothers in an order long under the authority of the bishop – committed acts of abuse involving minors.

Nanomedicine field is evolving with drug formulation and their multifunctional approaches to act smartly in its therapeutic and diagnostic function. Nanomedicine-based drug therapy, are normally explored at a fixed dose. Which creates insistent challenges at any given point of time as, the drug synergy is time-dependent, dose-dependent and moreover patient-specific. Artificial intelligence and its application in cancer nanomedicine, Artificial intelligent based diagnostic design for precision cancer nanomedicine, Artificial intelligent based nanosensors to compose the patient’s cancer biomarker profile, Artificial Intelligence as a putative tool for newer drug development approach in cancer nanomedicine, Artificial intelligence-enabled model for predicting metastatic potential of cancer cells, Artificial intelligence for cancer nanotheranostics, Ethical dimensions of using artificial intelligence in healthcare.
