Food Allergy - Alexander K C Leung - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Food Allergy - Alexander K C Leung - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Food allergy is an adverse reaction resulting from an inappropriate immunological response to a food antigen. It usually presents itself as a multi-system involvement. Definitive treatment of food allergy is strict elimination of the offending food from the diet. Symptomatic reactivity to food allergens is generally very specific, and patients rarely react to more than one food in a botanical or animal species. If elimination diets are prescribed, care must be taken to ensure that they are palatable and nutritionally adequate. Patients must have a good knowledge of foods containing the allergen and must be taught to scrutinise the labels of all packaged food carefully. This book examines the effects of food allergies, as well as the various treatments that are available for this condition.

Complementary & Alternative Medicine among Chinese Canadians - Marilyn A Roth - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Complementary & Alternative Medicine among Chinese Canadians - Marilyn A Roth - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the relationship between Chinese Canadian ethnicity and the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and explores some of the factors that contribute to CAM use among this visible minority group. Using data from the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey, multivariate logistic regression techniques are used herein to investigate the extent to which CAM use varies among Chinese Canadians and non-Chinese Canadians. Two three-way interactions, which demonstrate how the combination of certain identity markers increases their predictive value within the model, are also examined. The results indicate that use of complementary and alternative medicine varies according to ethnicity, with Chinese Canadians being more likely to use than non-Chinese Canadians.

Structure & Succession of Fouling Communities - V V Khalaman - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Structure & Succession of Fouling Communities - V V Khalaman - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The development of fouling communities in the White Sea cannot be described as a linear sequence of stages replacing each other, but rather as a network of possible stages. Such scheme has a low predictive value and does not explain changes occurring in fouling communities. The estimation of a survival strategy of epibenthic organisms in terms of Ramenskii-Grime''s system is conceived as the most promising method in analysis of structure and development of fouling communities. Testing of this hypothesis was carried out in five fouling organisms: mollusks Mytilus edulis and Hiatella arctica, solitary ascidians Molgula citrina and Styela rustica, and sponge Halichondria panicea. The obtained strategies coincide well with real positions of testing species in structure and succession of fouling communities developing in the White Sea.

Exploring Alternative Assessment Techniques in Language Classrooms - Konstantina Iliopoulou - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Exploring Alternative Assessment Techniques in Language Classrooms - Konstantina Iliopoulou - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Student evaluation is one of the most important processes in the learning practice of schools, which constitutes a vital part of education. It is considered one of the most important issues which involves the teachers, the students and all the stakeholders who participate in the process of school performance. In this line, it requires the continuous attention and concern of all the engaged stakeholders, since it is a fundamental parameter of the learning process. The evaluation of Modern Greek is imperative within this context. This subject aims to enrich the students' linguistic repertoire on the one hand and promote their knowledge of the structure and function of the language on the other. It should be noted that it is not only considered a subject per se but also as a means of organizing all other school subjects and improving students' linguistic skills in general. Therefore, it constitutes the dominant teaching tool in an educational setting as well as the main communication method of society. The present research aims to empower students to question the quality of their evaluation in the Greek language both in school and in society, so that they will manage to demand equality in evaluation, develop critical thinking and take initiatives to defend not only themselves but also all the people who are oppressed, by seeking to create a fairer society which prioritizes meritocracy.

Amending the Constitution by an Article V Convention - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Amending the Constitution by an Article V Convention - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Article V of the U.S. Constitution provides two methods of amendment for the nation''s fundamental charter. In the first, Congress, by a two-thirds vote of both chambers, proposes amendments to the states, which then consider the proposal; if three-fourths approve the amendment, it is ratified, and becomes part of the Constitution. Beginning with the Bill of Rights of 1789, this method has been used to propose 33 amendments, 27 of which have been ratified. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of congressional issues, including information on the contemporary resurgence of interest in the convention alternative and the authority of Congress to call a convention; provide a framework and procedures for an Article V Convention; and submit proposed amendments to the states for ratification. Also discussed is the President''s role; the operation of checks and balances in the convention alternative; questions concerning a convention''s composition and method of voting; and the function of the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.

Democracy Citizenship & Globalisation - Maurice Mullard - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Democracy Citizenship & Globalisation - Maurice Mullard - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The concern of this book is to ask who are the winners and the losers of globalisation. Globalisation is currently being presented as something which is inevitable and to which there exists no alternative. However, present globalisation is increasingly defined in the context of market liberalism where the language of markets and competition has become interchangeable with the language of globalisation. This approach represents specific political decisions on liberalisation and privatisation. Present forms of globalisation have contributed to major shifts in income distribution both between and within countries. Wage earners in the advanced industrial economies have experienced stagnating ''take home pay'', while the incomes of the top one percent of earners secured a larger share of income. There is now emerging a plutocracy that through financial contributions to political parties and the financing of academic think tanks are also distorting the democratic process. There is little evidence of the trickle down process. Market liberals continue to influence the definitions and the shape of globalisation. Increased integration and interconnectedness depends on the ability to listen and to honour alternative views of development.

Revisiting the Social Contract - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In criminal justice literature, "community justice" usually refers to a variety of alternative adjudicative strategies and practices. In this book, we suggest an additional conceptual formulation of community justice that emphasises the role of the criminal justice system in providing justice to communities. Since the late twentieth century, the primary promise of the American criminal justice system has been to protect the public from dangerous offenders. This book evaluates contemporary incarceration policy and practice in the United States in light of that premise.

Interconnectedness & the Individual - Nancy Bothne - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Interconnectedness & the Individual - Nancy Bothne - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses manifestations and consequences of the concept of the Self from Nativism. Taking an historical perspective, an attempt is made to offer a dynamic systems perspective, and to describe an alternative utilising examples from: Social Darwinism, genetics, fetal development, brain plasticity, and the education system, to the international human rights movement. Doing this the authors call into question the goal of respecting all values and behaviours in a given society. Arguing against moral relativism the authors propose the necessity for foundational values - that arguably already govern Community Psychology.

Oilseeds - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Oilseeds - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The predicted depletion of fossil fuels has mobilised society and the scientific community towards the use of alternative and sustainable sources of energy. A promising alternative could be the valorisation of oil bearing crops via transesterification reactions towards the production of biodiesel. As such, the first chapter assesses the most significant contributions in the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysed transesterification under acidic or alkaline conditions considering the parameters affecting the processes as well as biodiesel yields. The following chapter highlights the synthesis of copper soaps derived from edible oils, the synthesis of complexes with 2-amino-6-methyl Benzothiazole derived from already synthesised copper soaps for comparative studies, spectral studies, thermogravimetric analysis of copper soaps derived from groundnut, sesame, neem and karanja, and more. The authors go on to highlight biocidal studies performed to assess the comparative toxicity on two easily available fungi, Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus niger. The synthesis of copper soaps with increasing carbon atom p-substituted benzothiazoles is also examined. In the concluding chapter, the authors summarise the results of the microencapsulation technology of butylated hydroxyanisole carried out in their laboratory in recent years. Both free and microencapsulated butylated hydroxyanisole were in situ evaluated for controlling the mycoflora present in peanut stored in different systems intended for confectionery, seed and industry.
