This book advances knowledge about the implementation of peace and
non-violence strategies in education that counter violence.
Addressing both hidden and direct violence, it examines the harm to
wellbeing and learning through a unique exploration of the role of
teachers, and confronts the roots of violence in educational
settings. Presenting and critiquing a range of pedagogical tools,
case examples, and research, it examines how various methods can be
used for identifying and proactively responding to conflicts such
as injustice, discrimination, and prejudice, among others.
Contributors present case studies from a range of global contexts
and offer cutting-edge research on the applications of these
resources, and how they contextualize peace education. An essential
read for educators, teacher educators and peace scholars, it
crucially offers pathways for confronting and healing from violence
in both formal and informal sites of education.
Steroid Hormone Receptors in Endocrine Physiology and Diseases
covers the role of steroid hormones in human physiology and
receptor activity in the pathophysiology of disease. The book
discusses how these receptors can be used as therapeutic targets
for the treatment of conditions from cancer to aging, offering
immediate applications of biochemical principles into clinical
applications such as diagnosis and treatment. This book is a
valuable reference for graduate and postdoctoral scientists but is
also ideal for medical students interested in the functional role
of various steroid hormone receptors in a wide variety of endocrine
related diseases.Steroid hormone receptors (SHRs) are known to play
vital roles in normal physiology through the control of
development, differentiation, metabolic homeostasis and
reproduction. Due to their involvement in various pathological and
disease conditions, SHRs are also important therapeutic targets in
several disorders including inflammation, autoimmune diseases,
hormone-dependent cancers, osteoporosis and cardiovascular
diseases.
The conception of modernity as a radical rupture from the past runs
parallel to the conception of Europe as the primary locus of global
history. The essays in this volume contest the temporal and spatial
divisions-between past and present, modernity and tradition, and
Europe's progress and Asia's stasis-which the conventional
narrative of modernity creates. Drawing on early modern Chinese and
Indian history and culture instead, the authors of the book explore
the provenance of modernity beyond the west to see it in a
transcultural and pluralistic light. The central argument of this
volume is that modernity does not have a singular core or essence-a
causal centre. Its key features need to be disaggregated and new
configurations and combinations imagined. By studying the Bhakti
movement, Confucian democracy, and the maritime and agrarian
economies of China and India, this book enlarges the terms of
debate and revisits devalued terms and concepts like tradition,
religion, authority, and rural as resources for modernity. This
book will be of great interest to researchers and academicians
working in the areas of history, Sociology, Cultural Studies,
literature, geopolitics, South Asian and East Asian Studies.
This book aims to fill the gap by documenting thermophilic fungi
discovered over the past five decades. The chapters spans from
covering basic aspects, taxonomy and classification including
molecular phyologeny and biotechnological applications of
thermophilic fungi.

Fused Pyrimidine-Based Drug Discovery covers all categories of
fused-pyrimidines along with pharmacological and in silico studies.
It covers the chemistry and biological activities, as well as the
design of novel fused-pyrimidine scaffolds. N-Heterocyclic
scaffolds are found in most known drug candidates, and are of
interest to medicinal and organic chemists to design, synthesize
and evaluate their biological properties. A variety of
fused-pyrimidine molecules have been synthesized and extracted from
natural resources, and are found to exhibit various biological
activities such as antifolates, anticancer agents, analgesics,
antimetabolites, CNS active agents and many more. Some of these
scaffolds like purines are also known to have involvement in
biological processes and are part of the framework of genetic
material. This book focuses on the classification, structural
chemistry, and chemical and physical properties along with various
approaches for their synthesis. This book is ideal for researchers
in organic chemistry both in academic and industrial settings,
postgraduates in chemistry and medicinal chemistry.
Practical Techniques in Molecular Biotechnology intends to
familiarise students with the basics of the well-known experiments
of molecular biotechnology and related courses like chemical
biotechnology and cell biology. The content of the book will be
useful in strengthening the basic skills and help students to apply
the concepts to real-world problems. This book emphasises important
concepts like bioanalytical techniques, biochemical analysis of
proteins, recombinant DNA, and protein technology etc. The text
will help students to understand the theoretical aspects of the
techniques and provide experience with hands-on techniques to
demonstrate practical troubleshooting and data analysis. The text
is supported with diagrams, data, summaries for the quick recap and
appendices with useful protocols and calculation methods.

This edited book is a compilation of tangible research findings and
actual experiences on various salt tolerant rice breeding
programmes, that have been successfully practiced and continuing to
do so by research centres in South East Asia, with major emphasis
in India, Bangladesh and Philippines. Rice being one of the most
important staple crops of the world, its production and
productivity have to be kept on increasing so as to feed the
burgeoning population. This is a very challenging task in the midst
of shrinking resource base and arable lands in the face of climate
change. Salt stress is the second major abiotic stress, next only
to drought, which greatly affects rice production. To overcome this
problem, development of improved salt tolerant rice cultivars
coupled with appropriate package of practices, an ecologically
sound and socially acceptable strategy should be developed which is
well within the reach of marginal farmers. With rapid advances in
molecular biology, mechanisms underlying the complexity of the
trait are better understood now than before. Selection of
appropriate parents, desired mapping populations, precise
phenotyping are the key components to underpin the mapping and
utilization of reliable QTLs. Understanding genetics of salt
tolerance, identifying the robust molecular markers and targeted
utilization of available molecular markers form the sound basis to
develop the commercial products with more precision and speed. This
book covers entire range of topics: starting from biophysical
characterization of salt stressed areas in different rice
ecologies, conventional and molecular breeding approaches for
mapping salt tolerance and subsequent development of improved rice
varieties for commercial cultivation and their societal impacts.
This book is of interest to scientists, faculty, policy makers and
administrators. It also serves as a resource guide to graduate
students of agriculture particularly plant breeding, plant
physiology, molecular biology and soil science.
This edited volume records the amazing transformations brought
about by leaders in legal education and legal profession. It
captures experiences and experiments in the governance of law
schools and legal profession during the COVID-19 pandemic as case
studies; ideas which helped in resilience and which could show the
way forward; the psychological, philosophical, and sociological
aspects of the transformation; and the spiritual and material
sources of motivation of the leadership. The contributions are
along the following themes --- The shifting idea of law school:
systems and processes; The “new normal” in legal
profession; Psychological, philosophical, and sociological
aspects of transformation; Experiences from global regions and
countries; Legal education and legal profession in a post-COVID
world. Through these five themes, and
the eighteen contributions, the volume seeks to answer
questions like --- how the educational and professional leaders
adapted to the circumstances by building a “new normal”? How
and to what extent their own legal education and professional
experiences informed their actions during the Pandemic? How they
re-imagined ambitions and reordered systems and processes? What
type of guidance and support they received from the state and
regulatory bodies? How they guaranteed the well-being of students,
faculty, and staff during the Pandemic and the transition? How they
upheld professional values and ethics when contexts of their
application collapsed?
Worldwide demand for sand and gravel is increasing daily, as the
need for these materials continues to rise, for example in the
construction sector, in land filling and for transportation sector
based infrastructural projects. This results in over-extraction of
sand from channel beds, and hampers the natural renewal of
sediment, geological setup and morphological processes of the
riverine system. In India, illegal sand mining (of alluvial
channels) and gravel mining (of perennial channels) are two
anthropogenic issues that negatively affect the sustainable
drainage system. Along the Kangsabati River in India, the
consequences of sand mining are very serious. The construction of
Mukutmonipur Dam (1958) on the river causes huge sediment
deposition along the middle and downstream areas, these same areas
are also intensely mined for sand (instream and on the flood
plain). Geospatial models are applied in order to better understand
the state and the resilience of stream hydraulics, morphological
and river ecosystem variables during pre-mining and post-mining
stages, using micro-level datasets of the Kangsabati River. The
book also includes practicable measures to minimize the
environmental consequences of instream mining in respect to optimum
sand mining. It discusses the threshold limits of each variable in
stream hydraulics, morphological and river ecological regime, and
also discusses the most affected variables. Consequently, all
outputs will be very useful for students, researchers,
academicians, decision makers and practitioners and will facilitate
applying these techniques to create models for other river basins.
