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.
