Lipids in Photosynthesis: Essential and Regulatory Functions, provides an essential summary of an exciting decade of research on relationships between lipids and photosynthesis. The book brings together extensively cross-referenced and peer-reviewed chapters by prominent researchers. The topics covered include the structure, molecular organization and biosynthesis of fatty acids, glycerolipids and nonglycerolipids in plants, algae, lichens, mosses, and cyanobacteria, as well as in chloroplasts and mitochondria. Several chapters deal with the manipulation of the extent of unsaturation of fatty acids and the effects of such manipulation on photosynthesis and responses to various forms of stress. The final chapters focus on lipid trafficking, signaling and advanced analytical techniques. Ten years ago, Siegenthaler and Murata edited "Lipids in Photosynthesis: Structure, Function and Genetics," which became a classic in the field. "Lipids in Photosynthesis: Essential and Regulatory Functions," belongs, with its predecessor, in every plant and microbiological researcher's bookcase.

Die Nachhaltigkeit des Arbeits- und Sozialrechts in der alternden Gesellschaft in Japan und Deutschland war Thema eines im Februar 2017 an der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat Bonn veranstalteten Symposions, dessen Vortrage in diesem Buch versammelt sind. Die Vortrage der japanischen Referentinnen und Referenten geben nicht nur Auskunft uber die Grundlagen und Entwicklungstendenzen in Japan, es zeigen sich auch Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede in den rechtlichen und gesellschaftspolitischen Bedingungen. Die angesprochenen Rechtsfragen betreffen die Leiharbeit, die befristete Beschaftigung (in Deutschland auch in Gestalt der Mini-Jobs), die Beschaftigung im Niedriglohnsektor allgemein und die Solo-Selbstandigkeit.
