Gluten-Free Diets and Health - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Over the past several decades, gluten-free diets have attracted wide public interest, in large part due to their efficacy in treating celiac disease. However, such diets present nutritional risks, as gluten-free products can be low in protein, dietary fiber, and other nutrients. Chapter One of this book discusses techniques for improving the nutritional value of gluten-free foods as well as their textural and sensorial features. The second chapter discusses gluten-free cheese bread enriched with essential fatty acids, and how such enrichment improves the overall quality of the food. Similarly, the third chapter explores the technological and sensory properties of gluten-free muffins made with chickpea flour and describes the effects of various muffin formulations. The final chapter describes gluten-free Mexican sweet bread and analyzes the physiochemical characteristics of taro flour and gluten-free muffins made with taro flour.

Dietary Flavonoids Interfere with Cancer Radiotherapy - Katrin Sak - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dietary Flavonoids Interfere with Cancer Radiotherapy - Katrin Sak - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In parallel with the continuous rise of cancer incidence, efficient treatment becomes an increasingly important public health concern. Radiotherapy has remained one of the most important anticancer approaches for clinical management of a variety of human tumours, as at least half of all oncological patients receive this therapy at some stages of their disease. With the hope to attain greater anticancer response, the interest in using natural plant-derived products as complementary treatments to conventional radiotherapy has substantially increased in the recent years. However, the interactions between phytochemicals and ionizing radiation are not always known and can be often unpredictable. Therefore, in this book, the current findings about the combined treatments of malignant cells with radiation and flavonoids, the largest group of human dietary plant polyphenols, are described. These data show that under carefully chosen dosage-schedule regimens, certain flavonoids or their natural mixtures can behave as potent radiosensitizers, augmenting radiotherapeutic efficacy in different preclinical cancer models. Such radio-sensitising action of flavonoids can be achieved through modulation of the redox status and suppression of several cellular survival pathways activated by radiotherapy, ultimately leading to the death of malignant cells. As flavonoids can concurrently protect normal healthy cells from irradiation-induced injury and thereby minimize toxic adverse reactions, use of these plant-derived agents as complementary approach to radiotherapy might open new avenues for enhancement of clinical outcome. Therefore, combining conventional anticancer modalities with conscious intake of flavonoid supplements as adjuvant agents might be an important future strategy to boost the therapeutic success in the treatment of various human malignancies.

Contested Election Cases in The House (1933-2009) - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

From 1933 to 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives considered 107 contested election cases. The vast majority of these cases were resolved in favour of the contestee, a term referring to a Member or Member-elect of the House of Representatives whose election was challenged. It appears that of the 107 contested election cases considered by the House since 1933, in at least three cases, the House ultimately seated the contestant, and in at least one case, the House ultimately refused to seat any individual, declaring a vacancy. In the majority of the other cases, the contest was dismissed based on a variety of reasons. This book explores the summaries of contested election cases with a focus primarily on the nature of the contest and the disposition of the case.

Development of the Cognitive Computerized Test Battery for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (CCIID) for the Classification of Athletes with

This book presents the relationship between intellectual functioning and sports performance for athletes with intellectual disabilities, as well as a discussion on the Computerised Cognitive test battery for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (CCIID), which was developed for that purpose. A literature review indicated that there is a significant difference between physical performance of athletes with and without intellectual disabilities, but so far, no studies have examined the association between the degree of intellectual functioning and sports performance for athletes with intellectual disabilities. This book investigates this relationship for different sports disciplines and examines the role of adaptive behaviour and different cognitive abilities using a wider range of cognitive information processing tests.

Financial Regulation of U.S. Banking & Securities Markets - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Most people in the United States (and other developed nations) have rejected the Shakespearean maxim, "neither a borrower nor a lender be". Many people use loans to finance at least part of their education and job training during their youth, use mortgages to finance at least part of their home while starting a family, invest in stocks and bonds during middle age, and rely on the returns to the value of their stocks, bonds, and homes to at least partially pay for retirement during old age. Business firms, municipalities, and sovereign governments also rely on the financial system to help build the productive capital necessary for a well-functioning society and to foster economic growth. This book focuses on the U.S. financial regulatory policy for banking and securities markets and the U.S. implementation of the Basel Capital regulatory framework.

Living with HIV/AIDS - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Living with HIV/AIDS - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The opening chapter of Living with HIV/AIDS: Challenges, Perspectives and Quality of Life is concerned with exploring the implications of living with invisible conditions in both social and professional networks, and how that may impact their overall health and wellbeing. The authors use empirical examples of people living with mental illness and people living with HIV/AIDS to examine how the level of their visible or invisible symptoms played out on their experience of living with such invisible conditions. The goal of the subsequent study is to explore the process of interviewing sero-discordant couples through a participatory action research methodology, as well as the outcome of science-in-action that was developed and formed into social capital by the community of couples living with HIV. The authors also present a theoretical taxonomy on the various themes of microaggressions that people living with HIV/AIDS encounter, including stigmatized language, desexualization and dating/sex-related microaggressions, dehumanization and second-class citizenship, pathology of HIV/AIDS, romanticizing of HIV/AIDS, and criminalization of HIV/AIDS. The final section of this compilation aims to determine the reflexivity of HIV/AIDS survivors and the strategies taken to maintain a good quality of life. The data was collected from information coming from Peer Support Group, People Affected by HIV/AIDS, health workers, Local AIDS Commission and NGOs caring about AIDS using observation, in-depth interview, and documentation methods.

Livable Communities for People with Psychiatric Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Livable Communities for People with Psychiatric Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book introduces several programs and guidelines that would help to provide housing, employment, and other services to adults with psychiatric disabilities. This book proposes necessary changes in public policies regarding housing, transportation that is reliable and accessible, environments that are physically accessible and opportunities for participation in social and recreational activities. The intention of such change is to ensure that people with disabilities have all the same opportunities and choices as people without disabilities. There is also another accessibility need for people with psychiatric disabilities: attitudinal barriers which continue to prevent people with psychiatric disabilities from full participation. Thus to ensure full participation in the community by people with psychiatric disabilities, this book expands NCD''s liveable community framework to be fully inclusive. This book consists of public domain documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) - Nancy Lee Jones - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) - Nancy Lee Jones - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provides funds to states for the education of children with disabilities. It contains detailed requirements for the receipt of these funds, including the core requirement of the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE). IDEA was comprehensively revised in 1997 by P. L. 105-17, but Congress has continued to grapple with issues relating to the Act. This book provides an overview of the Act with particular attention paid to issues of recent congressional concern, such as funding and the provision of FAPE for children with disabilities found to have brought a weapon to school.

Recent Developments in Enterobacter Research - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Recent Developments in Enterobacter Research - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Enterobacter is a relatively lesser known member of family Enterobacteriaceae with at least fifteen species more or less involved in different human infections. As little knowledge is available about its pathogenicity and virulence factors, this compilation discusses the factors and genes involved. The plants and microbes with antimicrobial potential in the synthesis of nanoparticles for the control of pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae are highlighted, and the authors discuss how, to overcome the complexities regarding antibiotic therapies and multiple drug resistance, there is a dire need to develop some novel clinical approaches and strategies. The factors causing multi-drug resistance are highlighted, including under or overuse of antibiotics, prolonged use of antibiotics, poor infection control, poor hygiene and sanitation.

Understanding Children with Cerebral Palsy - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Children with Cerebral Palsy - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cerebral Palsy (CP) represents one of the most frequent neurological disorder in the infancy and in the childhood. It includes brain injuries or developmental defects. According to the World Health Organization, it is a main problem of public health. It may include communication, intellectual, and motor disabilities with negative consequences on children inclusion in daily life and caregivers burden. Rehabilitative interventions are primarily focused on promoting self-determination and independence of individuals with CP. Postural control, gait, and motor skills are usually embedded. Additionally, one may envisage request and choice programs aimed at enhancing the child's awareness of his/her own behavior. The volume summarizes some illustrative evidence-based contributions to emphasize the effectiveness and the suitability of the adopted programs. Beside stability of upper limbs and motor performance of children with CP (chapter one), the therapeutic effects of a horse riding simulator which was compared to a traditional physiotherapy on the sitting position of children with spastic CP (chapter two), the evaluation of stability in children with different form of CP was assessed through a rehabilitative platform was implemented (chapter three). The aforementioned experimental examinations presented between-groups investigations. Furthermore, four case-report studies were included. Assistive technology-based setups were used to promote an active role, constructive engagement, and positive participation of the enrolled children with CP and intellectual disabilities. The beneficial outcomes on their quality of life were considered. Chapter four describes a microswitch-based program to enhance ambulation responses of a child with CP. Chapter five provides a detailed illustration of such program to support locomotion fluency. Chapter six illustrates a cluster-technology aimed at pursuing the dual goal of fostering an adaptive response and reducing a challenging behavior. Chapter seven refers to a computerized system focused on enabling a child with CP and intellectual delays with academic performance and communication opportunities. Whenever available, the effects on indices of happiness and/or positive participation were analyzed. Social validation procedures involving external raters were conducted. Practical features of the retained treatments were privileged. Clinical, educational, psychological, and rehabilitative implications of the findings were systematically and critically discussed. Caregivers, educators, families of children with CP, practitioners, psychologists, speech and occupational therapists, medicine or psychology students, and teachers may find some useful insights for both research and practice in daily life settings.

HUD Housing Programs for Persons with Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

HUD Housing Programs for Persons with Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the ability of persons with disabilities to live independently in affordable, accessible housing. This became a prominent issue starting in 1999 as the result of a Supreme Court decision, Olmstead v. L.C., in which the court held that institutionalisation of persons with mental disabilities in lieu of community-based care may constitute discrimination. Shortly after the Olmstead decision, the President announced the New Freedom Initiative, an effort through multiple federal agencies to ensure full participation in society of persons with disabilities. Thus, this book discusses the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)and a number of its programs that provide housing for persons with disabilities in various ways.

Living with Aphasia - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Living with Aphasia - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Aphasia is a debilitating disorder, resulting from brain damage, that causes a person to lose the ability to understand or express speech. While aphasia is sometimes permanent, some people can completely recover their language ability spontaneously or with treatment. This monograph consists of four chapters that provide details about the disorder and describe various treatment options. Chapter One reports non-invasive brain stimulation's contribution to the study of phonological, syntactic and semantic language processing, as well as the recent interest in connections between language and motor systems. Chapter Two describes linguistically focused intensive group therapy and discusses the specific needs of adolescents and young adults with acquired aphasia. Chapter Three presents a case report of a patient with post-traumatic aphasia. Chapter Four provides details about subcortical aphasia, which is a language disorder caused by injuries in subcortical areas, such as the basal ganglia, white matter tracts, and thalamus, but not by injuries in cortical language areas, such as Wernicke's and Broca's areas.

Police Guide for Responding to People with Mental Illness - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Police Guide for Responding to People with Mental Illness - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Problem-Specific Guides series summarise knowledge about how police can reduce the harm caused by specific crime and disorder problems. They are guides to prevention and to improving the overall response to incidents, not to investigating offences or handling specific incidents. Problems associated with people with mental illness pose a significant challenge for modern policing. This book begins by describing the problem and reviewing factors that increase the challenges that police face in relation to the mentally ill. It then identifies a series of questions that might help one analyse local policing problems associated with people with mental illness. Finally, it reviews responses to the problems and what we know about them from evaluative research and police practice. It is important to recognise that mental illness is not, in itself, a police problem. Obviously, it is a medical and social services problem. However, a number of the problems caused by or associated with people with mental illness often do become police problems. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Milk Production - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Milk Production - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Milk is unarguably the most nutritious bio-fluid in all of nature. Milk sufficiency for neonatal brain, nervous and immune systems, and bone development and supportive tissue growth for even up to two years without a major need for alternative foods is evolutionary proof for its irreplaceable role in human nutrition. Milk production in ruminants is a bio-complex process that necessitates conversion of least available plant materials into the most enriched available nutrients. This book presents current research in the study of milk production, with a particular focus on the biological components and nutritional quality of milk.

After Cancer - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

After Cancer - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

There are almost 14 million people in the U.S. today who are cancer survivors. Three out of every four American families will have at least one family member diagnosed with cancer. This book is available to help individuals support survivor''s unique needs. It covers post-treatment issues such as follow-up medical care, physical and emotional changes, and changes in social and work relationships. While some people prefer to put their experiences with cancer behind them, many choose to draw on them to get involved with cancer-related activities. They may feel that there are certain areas or issues where there is more work to be done. Or perhaps someone helped and inspired them during treatment, and they feel it''s their turn to give to others. The book discusses ways in which survivors can help other individuals going through cancer treatments and the hardships they themselves endured.

Manual Sign Acquisition in Children with Developmental Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Manual Sign Acquisition in Children with Developmental Disabilities - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Manual signs are used worldwide to support the communication and language development of children who have developmental disabilities. This book provides an overview of forty years of research and practice by recognised experts, from a developmental perspective. Uniquely, the book includes contributions on both sign languages and sign systems, linking the two fields of Deaf studies and Augmentative and Alternative Communication which have historically been seen as separate. This text is the most authoritative single text to date on the topic, providing an invaluable resource for speech pathologists, researchers, psychologists and educators. The main sections of the book include: the typical development of sign language and of gesture; literature reviews on sign acquisition in children with disabilities such as Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders, Llandau Kleffner syndrome and deaf blindness. An important chapter deals with the latest research on sign language impairments in deaf children with developmental language difficulties, or autism spectrum disorders. The third section of the book addresses assessment and intervention, covering vocabulary, sign production difficulties and intelligibility, grammar and multi-signing, and pragmatics and discourse skills. The final two sections are concerned with use of signs in context: in the home, in school, and in different cultures. Throughout, care is taken to ensure that the voices of users are present and vivid, whether these be family members, teaching staff or the children themselves, with an entire chapter given over to an interview with a young adult's reflections on her use of sign since childhood. The book concludes with a call for a multimodal perspective on augmentative communication to be adopted in the future.

Cognitive Impairment in Children with ADHD - Catherine Mollica - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cognitive Impairment in Children with ADHD - Catherine Mollica - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

There is limited understanding of the problems associated with repeated neuropsychological assessment in children, including the statistics used to guide decisions about cognitive change. Further, clinicians rarely consider change in cognitive function when evaluating treatment response in individual children with ADHD. This is most likely due to a lack of suitable assessment tasks as well as clinicians'' limited awareness of the appropriate statistical techniques for measuring cognitive change in individuals. This book outlines a study investigating the application of a statistically principled decision rule to the cognitive and behavioural measures of individual children with ADHD in order to classify a significant, positive response to medication.

Antidepressants Therapy & Risk of Suicide Among Patients with Major Depressive Disorders - Maurizio Pompili - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc -

Antidepressants Therapy & Risk of Suicide Among Patients with Major Depressive Disorders - Maurizio Pompili - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc -

Most cases of suicide (81%-95%) in the general population involve psychiatric illnesses, nearly half of which (48.5%) are mood disorders. Internationally, the overall average suicide rate has been rising gradually over the past half-century, with increases reported in about half of nations, mainly among men, and moderate decreases found in another half, including in Northern Europe and North America. This book reviews whether the use of antidepressants is associated with benefits in terms of completed or attempted suicide, whether the increasing use of SSRIs is associated with benefits in terms of decreased rates of suicide with the aim of generating evidence-based suggestions for clinicians.

Value Theory - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Value Theory - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The theory of value is probably the most disputed feature of Marx political economy, while mostly another problem namely the issue of transformation -- is addressed. Two particular reasons for this contestation are the following: it stands at the centre of marking the political of political economy; it is cross-cutting with respect to the micro- and macro-level and especially the personal/individual and the societal/institutional aspects of economic thinking. In addition, some illusionary reasoning, suggesting that we are all better off than we had been 10, 50 or 100 years ago, remains more in the vein of a Yes, we can supposition, not arriving in reality. Furthermore, the questionable character comes even more to the fore as we witness again the existence of a group of plutocrats (Freeland, 2012), a class of superrich whose affluence is beyond reason and even imagination. However, at the core stands an obviously far-reaching change of the mode of production. Notwithstanding the critique then and now, there are good reasons to emphasise the usefulness of the theory of value. These will be taken up by exploring explicitly the tensions mentioned, and discussing them against the background of the contemporary shift within the capitalist mode of production. Marxism, in this light, is instrumental for the analysis of globalisation as it allows a clearer understanding not least of the emergence of poverty chains and the role of the capitalist state as an institution that maintains centre-periphery patterns of inequality within the productive sphere. Furthermore, we can find here at least clues for answers Marxism has when it comes to fighting for societal change, not least changes and challenges that are linked to the emerging processes around digitisation.

Mandatory Minimum Sentencing - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Mandatory Minimum Sentencing - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The US Sentencing Commission defines mandatory minimum sentencing provisions as "statutory provisions requiring the imposition of at least a specified minimum sentence when criteria specified in the relevant statute have been met". Although Federal mandatory minimum penalties have been in effect since 1790, and there are approximately 100 such provisions in 60 separate criminal statutes, the greatest increase in Federal use of these penalties occurs in relatively few provisions, most of which were enacted after 1984. The latter are concerned with the manufacture, distribution or possession of controlled substances, and with the possession of a firearm during drug-related or violent crime. This book documents the growth in the use of mandatory minimum sentencing at the federal level, and presents data regarding the impact of this trend on the criminal justice system as well as providing a pro/con analysis of such sentences.
