This book highlights both conventional and nanomaterials-based
biosensors for the detection of cervical cancers. It describes
developments in the selective and sensitive electrochemical
biosensors based on DNA for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer.
Further, this book covers other nano-biosensing systems such as
nano-thermometry-based sensing platforms, mechanical sensing
platforms encompassing piezoelectric-based sensors, electrochemical
impedance spectroscopy based on PEGylated arginine functionalized
magnetic nanoparticles, and field-effect transistor-based platforms
for the early detection of cervical cancer. Also, it presents
conventional platforms such as vibrational spectroscopy and
polymerase chain reaction techniques for the diagnosis of cervical
cancer. Finally, it reviews currently available biomarkers for the
early diagnosis of cervical cancer and presents strategies for
developing novel biomarkers based on cellular and molecular
approaches. As such, this book is a comprehensive resource for
researchers and clinicians working in cervical cancer diagnostics.
The Akwa-Cross People of Nigeria: History, Heritage, and Culture is
the first comprehensive book on Akwa-Cross contemporary historical
analysis, and its historical reconstruction. The Akwa-Cross people
are the second largest minority tribe in Nigeria whose tradition,
culture, language, and history are fast dying. This edited volume
is a timely effort in salvaging this information. Previously,
historical facts about Akwa-Cross people and their region were
distorted, misplaced, and misquoted. Akwa-Cross People of Nigeria:
History, Heritage, and Culture edited by Unwana Samuel Akpan
corrects historical facts about Akwa-Cross peoples and cultures and
provides a holistic and historic text on the history, heritage, and
culture of the Akwa-Cross people of Nigeria. The contributors
present a compelling collection of studies that build on the
path-breaking Akwa-Cross scholarship and offer critical narratives
and analysis on tradition, culture, economy, religion, sports, and
media of the people of Akwa-Cross. The themes treated in this
historic book play a significant part in advancing public discourse
on Akwa-Cross and add to the Akwa-Cross pedagogy.

These fascinating dreams involve prophecy and reading of hearts,
with a powerful spiritual message. Includes: To Hell and Back, Two
Boys Attacked by a Monster, The Snake and the Rosary, and many
more. These dreams led to many conversions and will instruct,
admonish and inspire today!
"Let us leave a saint to write the life of a saint," is said to
have been the exclamation of the Angelic Doctor St. Thomas Aquinas,
when he entered the cell of his brother doctor, St. Bonaventure,
and found him absorbed in writing the life of his spiritual father,
St. Francis. The peculiar value of the present little book is that
it may be said once more to present the spectacle of a saint
writing the life of a saint. Only whereas in St. Bonaventure's case
a son was writing the life of a father, in this case we have the
unique example of a father writing the life of his spiritual son.
The writer, the saintly Don Bosco, has already been declared
Venerable, and the process for his Beatification is proceeding in
Rome. Little Domenico Savio, whose biography was originally
published by Don Bosco very shortly after the holy child's death,
was, as will be seen, Don Bosco's spiritual child, and it is a
subject of great joy to all his admirers that his cause also has at
last been introduced at Rome with the approval of the Holy See.
Note from St Athanasius Press. St Dominic Savio was canonized as
the youngest non Martyr Saint on June 12, 1954 by Pope Pius XII.
This biography written by St John Bosco of his pupil, Dominic Savio
was a critical factor in his canonization.
Indegenous communities have all it takes to turn what the world
calls a grim picture into a magnificient one. All they need is
systems that believe in them and work with them, appreciative of
the circumstances under which they have existed. It is not so much
about what we give to them that counts it is being with them and
working it their way, so rewarding is this that a sweeping mortion
of transformation that results is irreversible.
Insecticide- treated nets are the most powerful malaria control
tool if used correctly. Yet up to date, malaria continues to be the
leading cause of child mortality and morbidity in Sub-saharan
Africa. This book provides insights on intra-household factors that
affect the utilization of ITNs in households with children under
five. These factors that affected utilization include; type of
household structure, number of people sleeping in the household,
intra-household gender relations, sleeping arrangements, disruption
of sleeping patterns due to visitors and cultural rituals and
functions. These factors affect consistency in utilization of ITNs
and proper deployment. Therefore, public-private partnership needs
to be adapted by policy makers in health departments to ensure
availability of ITNs and insecticides in local shops and other
outlets including arrangements at village level to re-treat the
nets, the economic level of caregivers should be boosted to
counteract the financial inadequacies, adoption of a behavior
change strategy to transform caregivers' perceptions, cultural
beliefs, practices, customs and attitudes; and massive education of
the community
Waterborne diseases are top killers world over; it was important to
investigate factors associated with their occurrence. This book
presents literature and findings from a cross-sectional study that
was done in Temeke, Dar es Salaam in 2007. Information gathered was
on community's level of knowledge and awareness, attitudes and
opinions towards waterborne diseases, and hygiene practices as well
as household water management and sanitation. It was found out that
respondents were knowledgeable on transmission mechanisms of
waterborne diseases. In spite of the relatively high level of
knowledge, behavioral change was very limited. The health education
received was more passive than participatory. Although majority of
the people boiled drinking water, it was at a greater risk of
re-contamination due to poor storage. Public health authorities
need to do integrated health education with a participatory
approach of stakeholders encompassing aspects of household water
management, food hygiene and safe excreta disposal. This book
therefore targets practitioners and scholars in water, sanitation
and hygiene (WASH) sector more specifically among the urban poor.
The Triangle of Law. is a thinking machine. It produces the legal
equivalent of nuclear fission and fusion. It can analyze a law into
its factual and legal components and synthesize them back together
again. Its inputs are factual and legal. It transforms factual
input into conduct flowing from source to recipient in
circumstances. It transforms legal input according to Bosco's
Periodic Table of the Elements of a LawT. Its output is an
understanding of the ideal form of a law from which all laws
derive. Once the ideal form of a law is understood, all laws become
understandable. Whereas physicists have long sought a unified
theory of everything but failed. John Bosco has succeeded. He has
discovered a unified theory of law. Indeed, Bosco has shifted the
legal paradigm and those that shift with him will out think the
dinosaurs who cling to what will soon become an extinct legal
ideology. "An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea
whose time has come." Victor Hugo

A bold redefinition of historical inquiry based on the
“cropscape”—the people, creatures, technologies, ideas, and
places that surround a crop Human efforts to move crops
from one place to another have been a key driving force in history.
Crops have been on the move for millennia, from wildlands into
fields, from wetlands to dry zones, from one imperial colony to
another. This book is a bold but approachable attempt to redefine
historical inquiry based on the “cropscape”: the assemblage of
people, places, creatures, technologies, and other elements that
form around a crop. The cropscape is a method of
reconnecting the global with the local, the longue durée with
microhistory, and people, plants, and places with abstract concepts
such as tastes, ideas, skills, politics, and economic forces.
Through investigating a range of contrasting cropscapes spanning
millennia and the globe, the authors break open traditional
historical structures of period, geography, and direction to glean
insight into previously invisible actors and forces.
