Antimicrobial Resistance Collaborative Measures of Control

Antimicrobial Resistance Collaborative Measures of Control

Antimicrobial resistance has existed in nature long before the discovery of antibiotics. The mechanisms of resistance are prevalent among the bacterial population. Over a period of time and facilitated by indiscriminate usage of antibiotics these mechanisms are transferred from one type of bacteria to another including the pathogenic ones. In addition the rate of discovery of novel antimicrobials is much slower than the rate of evolution of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore there is a need for alternative strategies to control antimicrobial resistance to save lives. In this book the novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance are described emphasizing collaborative measures of control. We describe the concerted efforts undertaken by global communities to combat antimicrobial resistance in detail. The most efficient strategy could be a behavioral change towards indiscriminate consumption usage and prescription of antibiotics. | Antimicrobial Resistance Collaborative Measures of Control

Inclusive Development and Multilevel Transboundary Water Governance - The Kabul River

Inclusive Development and Multilevel Transboundary Water Governance - The Kabul River

The four decades long ideological-based insurgencies and conflict in the Kabul River Basin (KRB) have seriously hampered the relations and foreign policies of both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Consequently it restricts them to solve various bilateral issues including transboundary waters. This lack of cooperation over shared water resources is one of the barriers to achieve inclusive and sustainable development. Additionally it has contributed to the prevailing anarchic situation where each country does what it wants. The absence of a formal water-sharing mechanism coupled with poor water management practices within both the riparian counties are resulting various flow and administration-related challenges. Moreover these challenges are further exacerbated by regional changes in social political environmental and economic systems. The scholarly literature suggests that an analytical transboundary water governance framework is essential to address the challenges of water politicisation and securitisation quality degradation and quantity reduction. Additionally the literature rarely integrates (a) a multi-level approach (b) an institutional approach (c) an inclusive development approach or (d) accounts for the uses of different types of water and their varied ecosystem services for improved transboundary water governance. To enhance human wellbeing and achieve inclusive and sustainable development in the KRB this research indicates that it is essential to: (1) defrost frozen collaboration; (2) bypass border dispute; (3) use biodiversity and ecosystem services approach; (4) address existing and potential natural and anthropogenic challenges; (5) remove contradictions in the policy environment; (6) combat resource limits and dependence by promoting collaboration on long-term cost effective solutions; and (7) enhance knowledge and dialogue on inclusive development. | Inclusive Development and Multilevel Transboundary Water Governance - The Kabul River

Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation

Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation

Perishable products such as fruits and vegetables account for the largest proportion of food loss due to their short shelf life especially in the absence of proper storage facilities which requires sustainable universal and convenient preservation technology. The existing methods to prolong the shelf life of food mainly include adding preservatives irradiation cold storage heat treatment and controlled atmosphere storage. But with disadvantages in irradiation cold storage heat treatment and controlled atmosphere storage chemical synthetic preservatives are still the main means to control food corruption. As the food industry responds to the increasing consumer demand for green safe and sustainable products it is reformulating new products to replace chemical synthetic food additives. Essential Oils as Antimicrobial Agents in Food Preservation provides a comprehensive introduction to the antimicrobial activity of plant essential oils and their application strategies in food preservation. It is aimed at food microbiology experts food preservation experts food safety experts food technicians and students. Features: Summarizes the application strategy and safety of essential oil in the field of food preservation Describes the synergistic antibacterial effect of essential oil and antimicrobial agents Explains the action mechanism of essential oil as antimicrobial agent against foodborne fungi foodborne bacteria viruses and insects Analyzes the antimicrobial activity of essential oil in gas phase The book discusses how as a natural antimicrobial and antioxidant essential oil has great potential to be used in the food industry to combat the growth of foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms. But because the essential oil itself has obvious smell and is sensitive to light and heat it cannot be directly added to the food matrix and thus the application strategies presented in this book explain how to alleviate those issues.

Biological Approaches to Regenerative Soil Systems

Biological Approaches to Regenerative Soil Systems

Agriculture in the 21st century will need considerable modification to remain both productive and sustainable. Greater production is needed to meet the needs of our still-growing populations and to combat hunger and poverty. Declines in soil health and the pollution of water sources are making many of our production systems less tenable. These adverse trends are exacerbated more and more by the impacts of climate change. There are fortunately alternative methods available for agricultural practice that can countervail these constraints. Biological Approaches to Regenerative Soil Systems brings together the work of both researchers and practitioners to map out better approaches to contemporary agriculture that draw upon both old and new knowledge. It presents the science that underlies more biologically driven strategies as well as contemporary innovative experiences in diverse parts of the world. Both accepted research and these varied experiences encourage confidence that these approaches not relying primarily on the introduction of new varieties and on exogenous inputs can succeed. This book updates and revises a preceding volume Biological Approaches to Sustainable Soil Systems published by CRC Press in 2006. So much has been learned and done on this subject in the past decade and a half that a second edition was warranted. For instance the first edition was published knowledge about plant-soil microbiomes which are a frequent focus in this book has mushroomed. Because sustainability is a broad term and an end-state the editors preferred to assemble expertise regarding regenerative agriculture which is concerned with the means for achieving sustainability. The concept of regenerative soil systems entities that are more complex and multifaceted than soil alone also incorporates a concern with having more resilient agricultural systems ones that are better able to cope with the multiple stresses of climate change that are foreseen for the decades ahead. The book’s chapters representing a wide range of disciplines were contributed by 84 scientists and practitioners from 20 countries. Although they come from persons with in-depth knowledge of their respective fields the chapters are written to be accessible to readers who are not trained in the specialized subjects. Taken together the chapters provide students researchers practitioners planners and policy makers with a comprehensive understanding of both the science and the steps needed to regenerate and sustain soil systems around the world for the long-term benefit of humankind and the environment.
