Bioactive lipid metabolism and signaling are now widely accepted as major players in cancer biology. This volume helps to fill the urgent need to explore and investigate the innovations, current shortcomings, and future challenges of cancer therapy through the bioactive lipids by presenting new research on the use of bioactive lipids as effective weapons against cancer. The volume introduces the subject and then goes on to cover the chemistry, formulation, and mechanism of bioactive lipids in cancer. The volume takes a close look at lipoxins, ceramides, resolvins, and sphingosine-1-phosphate and their roles in cancer treatment. It also addresses the formulations based on bioactive lipids for the treatment of cancer. A variety of mechanisms of bioactive lipids as novel therapies are also covered, including using computational techniques to identify bioactive lipid drug targets, targeting therapy via KRAS and PI3K signals, and others. The authors also discuss the role and effects of various substances and their effect on various cancers, including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and others. The application of lysophosphatidic acid, lipopolysaccharide, lipid-soluble bioactive substance from avocado, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids-derived lipid metabolites, and more are covered as well. The volume offers academia, technologists, and scientists from different disciplines valuable information to gain knowledge of bioactive lipid metabolism and signaling as an anti-cancer weapon in their fight against cancer.

Educational Psychology has a great utility in pedagogy. The principles of psychology can be used in various situations to improve teaching-learning process, from understanding all relevant personal and organismic variables to enriching the environment. Whether it is narrow or wider objective, it has a crucial role.Learning, Motivation, Personality, Intelligence, Creativity and social developmental process are important concepts to understand and implement in real educational settings.

Biological, Psycho-Social and Cognitive approaches try to understand the adolescence. Patterns and courses of development are discovered and studied from the scientific viewpoints to solve the crisis and help in enhancement of development.Changes occuring within the boundaries of adolescents'skins and psycho-social demands bring for them challenges to cope up with. Roles of adolescents and significant others are important in making adjustment, resolving issues and making changes enjoying.

Pregnancy is an event that changes many perspectives of women's life. It is regarded as a time of psychological and biological crisis and emotional upheaval. Since, about 90% of all women become pregnant at least once in their lives, it seems highly relevant to investigate psychological changes during pregnancy. It is the manifestation of various psychological and physiological changes that substantially contribute to emotional disturbance and the long term implications of adverse birth outcomes such as preterm delivery and low birth weight. Data from epidemiological and clinical studies consistently demonstrates that prenatal maternal stress and negative mental health such as anxiety, depression and somatic health complaints are independent risk factors for preterm delivery and low birth weight. However, a relatively unrecognized methodological issue in studying psycho-social factors during pregnancy is that pregnancy itself presents unique psychological and social challenges. Unfortunately pregnancy specific measures have not been commonly included in studies related to preterm delivery and low birth weight.

National security is paramount for an all inclusive development. Along with a holistic approach in place, there is an urgent need to first recognise the challenges to national security of the country. National Security Challenges: Young Scholars' Perspective - a tribute to Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw from the youth of the country - primarily deals with India`s national security challenges from a hardcore, predominantly traditional security point of view. The main aim of the book is to develop strategic thinking amongst the youth of this country. To provide a suitable platform to the university students, CLAWS has initiated an unprecedented pan-India essay competition - Field Marshal Manekshaw Essay Competition (FMMEC). The book is the outcome of an overwhelming response to the competition over past two years, and 12 select essays have been compiled, edited, and published. Dealing with wide range of subjects from conceptual understandings, threats and challenges emanating from technological advancements, to learning from national, regional and global experiences; the book provides a fresh approach to the subject. It also gives a sneak peek into what the youth of India feels about national security in the form of policy recommendations. To boost the morale of the young authors and university students, the book carries messages from Hon'ble Raksha Mantri, Hon'ble National Security Advisor and Chief of the Army Staff.
