This book sheds new light on the way that, in the last decade,
digital technologies have become inextricably linked to culture,
economy and politics and how they have transformed feminist and
queer activism. This exciting text critically analyses the
contradictions, tensions and often-paradoxical aspects that
characterize such politics, both in relation to identity and to
activist practice. Aristea Fotopoulou examines how activists make
claims about rights online, and how they negotiate access,
connectivity, openness and visibility in digital networks. Through
a triple focus on embodied media practices, labour and imaginaries,
and across the themes of bodily autonomy, pornography,
reproduction, and queer social life, she advocates a move away from
understandings of digital media technologies as intrinsically
exploitative or empowering. By reinstating the media as constant
material agents in the process of politicization, Fotopoulou
creates a powerful text that appeals to students and scholars of
digital media, gender and sexuality, and readers interested in the
role of media technologies in activism.

It has been known for many years that the Malassezia yeasts are
associated with a n- ber of different human diseases ranging from
pityriasis versicolor to seborrhoeic d- matitis. However the
evolving history of their taxonomy and pathogenicity, and the
management of the diseases that they cause has been a long, and
often diffcult, jou- ney. Their fastidious growth requirements
defed the initial attempts to culture these organisms on laboratory
media and their true identifcation and the relationship between
different species only became apparent with the application of
modern molecular techniques. Likewise although recognised in the
19th century as potential causes of human infection, piecing
together the complex and, in certain cases, still uncertain
relationships to different human diseases has taken many years.
Recognised initially as causes of infection of the skin, they are
now known to be superfcial c- mensals as well as potential causes
of infections in domestic animals and more serious human conditions
such as fungemia. They have also been implicated in the pathog-
esis of allergic and other infammatory diseases. Given this
complex, yet fascinating, history it seems appropriate to bring
together current thought on these yeasts, their structure and
function and their association with both human and animal disease
states. This book provides such a view of the genus Malassezia and
the diseases caused by its members.

Microbiomics: Dimensions, Applications, and Translational
Implications of Human and Environmental Microbiome Research
describes a new, holistic approach to microbiomics. International
experts provide in-depth discussion of current research methods for
studying human, environmental, viral and fungal microbiomes, as
well as the implications of new discoveries for human health,
nutrition, disease, cancer research, probiotics and in the food and
agricultural industries. Distinct chapters covering culturomics and
sub-microbiomes, such as the viriome and mycetobiome, provide an
integrative framework for the expansion of microbiomics into new
areas of application, as well as crosspollination between research
areas. Detailed case studies include the use of microbiomics to
develop natural products with antimicrobial properties, microbiomic
enhancements in food and beverage technology, microbes for
bioprotection and biopreservation, microbial tools to reduce
antibiotic resistance, and maintenance and cultivation of human
microbial communities.
Models of Seizures and Epilepsy, Second Edition, is a valuable,
practical reference for investigators who are searching for the
most appropriate laboratory models to address key questions in the
field. The book also provides an important background for
physicians, fellows, and students, offering insight into the
potential for advances in epilepsy research as well as R&D drug
development. Contents include the current spectrum of models
available to model different epilepsy syndromes, epilepsy in
transgenic animals, comorbidities in models of epilepsy, and novel
technologies to study seizures and epilepsies in animals.
Stay current with recent progress in the field of acute
encephalopathy and encephalitis in infants with this practical
resource by Drs. Hideo Yamanouchi, Solomon L. Moshe, and Akihisa
Okumura. This practical resource covers key information relevant to
physicians, surgeons, and nurses who often must take prompt action
in the everyday clinical care of patients with these disorders.
Features a wealth of information for all health care professionals
who encounter these complex conditions. Covers diagnostic strategy,
subtypes of acute encephalopathy, and management of acute
encephalopathy and encephalitis. Consolidates today's available
information and guidance on acute encephalopathy and encephalitis
in infancy, in addition to related disorders, into one convenient
resource.
This book by the ETUI Transnational Trade Union Rights Expert
Network analyses enforcement as a key element making EU labour law
effective or ineffective. Enforcement is the key ingredient that
makes rights effective and ensures compliance. It can make or break
a legal system. Despite this, enforcement of EU labour law has
received little scholarly attention in recent decades and has
rarely been examined in a comprehensive way. This book aims to fill
this gap. Intended for academics and practitioners alike, the book
adopts a threefold approach to examine this issue. First of all, it
explores the idea of effective enforcement and sets out the wider
context in which EU labour law enforcement takes place. Secondly,
it analyses how enforcement operates in particular areas, including
non-discrimination, health and safety, information and consultation
rights, and the rights of migrating workers. Thirdly, it critically
assesses the role of specific actors (in particular collective
actors like trade unions, as well as whistle-blowers and the
European Labour Authority) and settings (public procurement,
economic and monetary policy) regulated by EU law. Drawing on the
insights produced by these analyses, the book concludes by
proposing a comprehensive Draft for a Model Directive on 'Effective
Enforcement of EU Labour Law' as an inspiration for policy
development and scholarly debate in this area.
Seizures are more common early in life than in adulthood.
Bidirectional interactions between seizures and normal
developmental processes define their expression and outcomes.
Several developmentally regulated factors control neuronal
excitability. GABAA receptors hold a central role as they control
neuronal activity in an age-specific manner. Early in development,
GABAA receptors have depolarizing effects, which contribute to the
increased susceptibility of immature neurons to seizures but they
are also essential for normal brain development. During
development, there is a gradual shift to the "adult-type"
hyperpolarizing GABAA receptor signaling, creating more efficient
inhibition. Seizures may disrupt GABAA receptor signaling by
changing the expression of their subunits and by changing the
direction of GABAA responses, which, in certain situations, may be
detrimental for brain development. Furthermore, subcortical nuclei,
such as the substantia nigra, control the expression and
propagation of seizures in an age- and sex-dependent manner. These
endogenous control centers and signaling pathways are further
modified by independent genetic epigenetic, biologic, or other
factors, which further increase the heterogeneity in presentation
of seizures, their treatment, and their comorbidities. Elucidation
of these complex interactions and identification of biomarkers
guiding therapeutic interventions will be necessary to improve our
ability to treat early-life epilepsies.
