This work traces the history and background of the once great American consumer electronics manufacturing industry, an industry that was plagued and finally destroyed by an American-Japanese cartel subverting enforcement of our traditional trade laws. The work is not a Japan-bashing diatribe, but a call for changes in Washington, and a return to free trade in our domestic and foreign commerce.

This edited volume-the first book devoted to the topic of contract cheating-brings together the perspectives of leading scholars presenting novel research. Contract cheating describes the outsourcing of students' assessments to third parties such that the assignments or exams students submit are not their own work. While research in this area has grown over the past five years, the phenomenon has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Themes addressed in this book include the definition of contract cheating, its prevalence in higher education, and what motivates students to engage in it. Chapter authors also consider various interventions that can be used to address contract cheating's threat to academic integrity in higher education including: assessment practice, education, detection strategies, policy design, and legal interventions.

This volume sets out to consider a range of cardiac diseases for which drugs may play a therapeutic role by virtue of their effects on aspects of the immune system. The book reviews diseases of the heart which may involve an immunopharmacological component, and methods and techniques for the study of physiological and biochemical functions in the heart. An important focus is the immunopharmacology of the coronary vascular endothelium and the role of cellular and biochemical components of the immune system in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The content also includes a review of the use of immunologically relevant agents in the setting of cardiac transplantation from aclinical perspective. Immunotherapy has a definite role to play in cardiology to a greater or lesser extent than other forms of intervention, depending on the type of cardiac disease. Immunopharmacology of the Heart aims to identify and clarify this role and points to potential developments of the future. Immunopharmacology of the Heart is a volume for the SYSTEMS theme of The Handbook of Pharmacology. In common with all other volumes it contains standardized illustrations and terms/abbreviations (glossaries of illustrations and terms published at the back of the volume). Other topics covered include: Leukocytes and their role in ischaemic heart disease. Complement activation. Sudden cardiac death. The stunned myocardium and reperfusion injury.

Documentary directed by Julien Temple about English guitarist and songwriter Wilko Johnson, who, in 2013, was diagnosed with supposedly inoperable pancreatic cancer. Wilko, who rose to fame during the 1970s with pub rockers Dr Feelgood, speaks to the film-maker candidly about his illness and the sense of elation he felt for the world around him upon becoming aware of his impending death. The film captures the guitarist as he begins working on a long talked about project with The Who's Roger Daltrey and his experiences on what he believes will be his farewell tour.

A haunted asylum? Like really haunted, with ghosts and poltergeists and who knows what else? No thank you. Rusty wanted no parts of that, with a side of not in a million years. But when the fun adventure they'd planned for so long turns into a mission to help a new friend, he has no choice. Rusty and all his friends find themselves trapped in a terrifying fight for their lives. And their souls too. Venturing into the asylum was supposed to be a good time; learning what waited for them inside and all they'd need to do to get out... not so much. Unleashing the past was a mistake. A big, fat, terrible mistake. But terribly necessary, to save everyone and everything. And so much more. Now, Rusty and his pack can only hope they live long enough to fix it all.
