Fast-paced action movie starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Mickey
Rourke. The Courier (Morgan) has earned his nickname through a
remarkable ability to track down individuals and deliver messages
and packages. The Courier is particularly prized, in certain
circles, for his refusal to ask questions or query the legality of
the material he carries. However, when he is handed a package by a
branch of the Russian mafia and asked to deliver it to an
especially notorious underworld figure, The Courier's skills will
be tested to the limit. He believes he has made a breakthrough when
he gets in contact with Maxwell (Mickey Rourke), a former associate
of the elusive figure he is seeking, but how far can Maxwell be
trusted?
The publication of environmental degradation statistics worldwide
and the announcement of scientific assessments of the process of
its destruction have attracted everyone's attention to the
environment. On the world stage, international environmental laws
and regulations must be formulated to protect the environment and
humanity from further harm. This book provides selective coverage
of environmental and energy law within the European Union (EU) and
the United Kingdom as well as internationally. It is crucial to
examine environmental and energy law from a wide range of
perspectives and approaches to gain insight into how the law is
designed to tackle particular environmental problems arising in
both professional and theoretical settings. Pragmatic Legal and
Policy Implications of Environmental Lawmaking bridges the
knowledge gap between legal developments designed to achieve
environmental and/or energy objectives (for example, pollution
control and conservation) on the one hand and the practical,
scientific, and technical considerations applicable to the same
environmental problems on the other. By adopting a
multi-disciplinary approach to environmental and energy law, the
book embraces all readerships and goes a step further to address
the often-difficult problem of improving communication between
scientists and engineers and law and policymakers. Covering topics
such as environmental degradation, energy law, and international
trade legislation, the book will be useful to law students and
professionals working in the fields of environmental and/or energy
law, engineering and (geo)science students and professionals, as
well as others working in various other disciplines.
Cancer is a major public health concern and one of the leading
causes of death. There is no simple solution for this complex
disease, therefore interdisciplinary approaches might help to find
solutions to many unanswered questions and challenges about cancer.
The rapid flow of interdisciplinary research in cancer during
recent years has increased our understanding of the nature of
cancers. Such interdisciplinary approaches could be helpful for
both the diagnosis and the development of more effective
therapeutic strategies. The “Interdisciplinary Cancer Researchâ€
series publishes comprehensive volumes on different cancers and
presents the most updated and peer-reviewed articles on human
cancers. Over the past decade, increased cancer research has
greatly improved our understanding of the nature of cancerous cells
which has led to the development of more effective therapeutic
strategies to treat cancers. This interdisciplinary series is of
special value to researchers and practitioners working on cell
biology, immunology, hematology, biochemistry, genetics, oncology
and related fields. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology
Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education
and Research Network (USERN).
When people seek psychological support, formulation is the
theory-driven methodology used by many practitioners to guide
identification of the processes, mechanisms, and patterns of
behaviour that appear to be contributing to the presenting
difficulties. However, the process of formulating - or applying
psychological theory to practice - can often seem unclear. In this
volume, we present multiple demonstrations of formulation in action
- written by applied psychologists embedded in clinical training,
research, and practice. The volume covers a range of contemporary
approaches to formulation and therapy that have not been considered
in extant works, and includes unique sections offering critical
counter-perspectives and commentaries on each approach (and its
application) by authors working from alternative theoretical
positions.
Integrated Science: Science without Borders" is the first volume of
the INTEGRATED SCIENCE Book series, aiming to publish the results
of the most updated ideas and reviews in transdisciplinary fields
and to highlight the integration of discrete disciplines, including
formal sciences, physical-chemical sciences and engineering,
biological sciences, medical sciences, and social sciences. This
volume primarily focuses on the research involving the integration
of two or more academic fields offering an innovative, borderless
view, which is one of the main focuses of the Universal Scientific
Education and Research Network (USERN). The whole world is
suffering from complex problems; these are borderless problems;
thus, a borderless solution could merely solve such complex issues.
Transdisciplinarity is a domain, that researchers work jointly,
using a shared conceptual framework, drawing together
disciplinary-specific theories, concepts, and approaches to address
common problems. Lack of confidence, lack of expertise,
complexities of healthcare, the confusing nature of healthcare
environments, and lack of organization and standardization are the
obstacles of successful scientific communication. Consequently,
this book provides an overview of the essential elements of
transdisciplinary studies and integrated science. The unique aspect
of this book -privileging it from other books- is covering all
aspects of science as harmonies of a single symphony.
The rapidity of scientific progress over the last few years
guarantees the utility of a new collection of state-of-the-art
reviews on the immunology of ageing. The aim of this authoritative
book is to summarize current knowledge on the cellular and
molecular aspects of the ageing immune system and their clinical
relevance. The book is a result of extensive collaboration of more
than sixty of the greatest thinkers and scholars in the field, in
cooperation with a number of junior colleagues. Immunology of Aging
presents the most up-to-date information on the scientific issues
addressed by research into ageing of the immune system, providing
insights into the effects of this process on susceptibilities to
those diseases which are most common among elders. The retrieval
strategies used to slow down the decline in the immune system in
the elderly are another subject detailed extensively. By providing
a broad overview of immunosenescence and its consequences, as well
as their potential modulation, this book will fill a gap in a
timely manner. It will be of value to all immunologists, whether
novice or experienced, as well as geriatricians and
epidemiologists.
Measures of Active Labor Market Policy - such as training, wage
subsidies, public employment measures, and job search assistance -
are widely used in European countries to combat unemployment.
Little, however, is known about what each country can learn from
experiences in other countries. This study provides novel insight
on this important policy issue by discussing the role of the
European Commission's Employment Strategy, reviewing the
experiences made in European states, and giving the first ever
quantitative assessment of the existing cross-country evidence,
answering the question "what labor market program works for what
target group under what (economic and institutional)
circumstances?." Using an innovative meta-analytical approach, the
authors find that rather than contextual factors such as labor
market institutions or the business cycle, it is almost exclusively
the program type that matters for program effectiveness: While
direct employment programs in the public sector appear detrimental,
wage subsidies and "Services and Sanctions" can be effective in
increasing participants' employment probability.

Encyclopedia of Infection and Immunity, Four Volume Set provides
new insights into the interactions between bacteria, fungi,
parasites and their hosts. Specific areas of interest include host
cellular and immune response to microbes, molecular mechanisms of
action of beneficial microbes or host-associated microbial
communities, microbial pathogenesis, virulence factors,
experimental models of infection, host resistance or
susceptibility, and the generation of innate and adaptive immune
responses. Comprised of over 200 chapters written and edited by
leading experts in the field, this book will serve as a key
resource for students, researchers, academics and industry
practitioners in the fields of microbiology, immunology, and
infectious diseases. More than 100 years after Robert Koch and
Louis Pasteur established the microbial etiology of communicable
diseases, the field of microbiology is experiencing a second period
of rapid growth and expansion, driven by the realization that
changes in host-associated microbial communities might be at the
root of a broad spectrum of noncommunicable human diseases. These
advances follow on the heels of recent progress in high-throughput
sequencing technology, which has provided a wealth of information
on the human microbiome and its physiological potential.
The “Integrated Science of Global Epidemics†is the new
proposed volume of Integrated Science Book series, aiming to
publish the results of the most updated ideas and reviews on Global
Epidemics. The whole world is suffering from complex problems,
border less problems and global solution should be
developed. The Integrated Science of Global Epidemics aims to
highlight the combination of different disciplines, including
formal sciences, physical-chemical sciences and engineering,
biological sciences, medical sciences, and social sciences, to deal
with complex problems such as global epidemics. This contributed
volume could be used as guidelines for the entire scientific
community and policy makers to successfully face these global
threats. Chapter 27 is available open access under a Creative

Anna Neima's The Utopians is an absorbing and vivid account of
these collectives and their charismatic leaders and reveals them to
be full of eccentric characters, outlandish lifestyles and
unchecked idealism. Dismissed and even mocked in their time, yet, a
century later, their influence still resonates in progressive
education, environmentalism, medical research and mindfulness
training. Without such inspirational experiments in how to live,
post-war society would have been a poorer place. 'Thanks to Neima's
rigorous research, each chapter offers something new.' - Spectator
'Neima ranges with impressive confidence across the world'. -
Literary Review
Integrated Education and Learning aims to discuss novel approaches
to offer integrated educational methods. Within the last few years,
educational techniques have evolved to favour critical thinking and
improve learning skills. This volume links thinking and learning in
educational settings and discusses diverse mechanisms that
influence this association; including meta-cognitive capacity,
memory, cognitive style, conceptual approaches, digitalization,
teaching approaches, echoing, and questioning. It embraces this
discussion at all levels, from early childhood education to higher
education. This book also includes teaching tips for creating a
learning environment that cultivates students' creativity and
critical thinking on both online platforms and live-in-classroom.
The book follows discussing the merits of an integrated educational
paradigm that will help develop highly intellectual thinkers and
will promote modern values to face current and future challenges.
Finally, the book shows a balance between learning and education to
enhance creativity, critical thinking and social skills.
Brain, Decision Making, and Mental Health acknowledges that
thinking is not a constant phenomenon but varies considerably
across cultures. Critical thinking is particularly important in
bridging thinking divisions and its applicability across sciences,
particularly medical sciences. We see critical thinking as educable
and the arts as means to achieve this purpose. We address the
multidimensional relationship between thinking and health and
related mechanisms. Thinking mainly affects emotion regulation and
executive function; in other words, both mental and physical health
are related as a function of thoughts. Considering the
thinking-feeling-emotion regulation/executive function pathway, it
would be reasonable to propose thinking capacities-based
interventions to impact emotion regulation and executive function,
such as mindfulness and psychotherapy. We review decision-making
taking place in integrated and social contexts and discuss the
decision-making styles-decision outcomes relation. Finally,
artificial thinking and intelligence prepare us for decision-making
outside the human mind.
The "THINKING: Bioengineering of Science and Art" is to discuss
about philosophical aspects of thinking at the context of Science
and Art. External representations provide evidence that the
fundamental process of thinking exists in both animal subjects and
humans. However, the diversity and complexity of thinking in humans
is astonishing because humans have been permitted to integrate
scientific accounts into their accounts and create excellent
illustrations for the effects of this integration. The book
necessarily begins with the origins of human thinking and human
thinking into self and others, body, and life. Multiple factors
tend to modify the pattern of thinking. They all will come into
play by this book that brings thinking into different disciplines:
humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, formal sciences, and
applied sciences. The thinking demands full processing of
information, and therefore, the book considers the economy of
thinking as well. The book thoroughly intends to explore thinking
beyond the boundaries. Specifically, several chapters are devoted
to discipline this exploration either by artistic thinking alone or
by art and mathematics-aided engineering of complexities. In this
manner, the book models variations on thinking at the individual
and systems levels and accumulates a list of solutions, each good
for specific scenarios and maximal outcomes.
