Good Microbes in Medicine, Food Production, Biotechnology, Bioremediation, and Agriculture Discover the positive and helpful contributions made by microorganisms to various areas of human health, food preservation and production, biotechnology, industry, environmental clean-up and sustainable agriculture. In Good Microbes in Medicine, Food Production, Biotechnology, Bioremediation, and Agriculture, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive and eye-opening look at the positive side of bacteria and other microbes. The book explores the important and positive roles played by microorganisms. Divided into five sections, Good Microbes examines the use of microorganisms and the microbiome in human health, food production, industrial use, bioremediation, and sustainable agriculture. Coverage spans from food allergies, skin disorders, microbial food preservation and fermentation of various beverages and food products, and from an ethical point of view to the beneficial use of microbes in biotechnology, industry, bioeconomy, environmental remediation such as resource recovery, microbial-based environmental clean-up, plant-microbe interactions in biorestauration, biological control of plant diseases, and biological nitrogen fixation. Provides basic knowledge on bacterial biology, biochemistry, genetics, and genomics of beneficial microbes Includes practical discussions of microbial biotechnology, including the contribution of microbial biotechnology to sustainable development goals Features a comprehensive introduction and extensive index to facilitate the search for key terms. Perfect for scientists, researchers and anyone with an interest in beneficial microbes, Good Microbes in Medicine, Food Production, Biotechnology, Bioremediation, and Agriculture is also an indispensable resource for microbiology graduate students, applied microbiologists and policy makers.

This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the opportunities and challenges of the complex field of synthetic biology, which combines various scientific disciplines. The emerging field of synthetic biology employs biotechnological approaches to recreate and enhance basic biological structures, intracellular processes and whole organisms. The book addresses a broad range of topics, including redesigning complex metabolic pathways, DNA/RNA and protein engineering, as well as novel synthetic biomaterials. It discusses both “bottom up” and “top down” approaches and presents the latest genome engineering tools with predictions about how these could change our way of thinking and working. Since the use of synthetic biology raises a number of ethical questions, a chapter is devoted to public awareness and risk management.The book is of interest to scientists from both academia and industry, as well as PhD students and postdocs working in the field

Geschichtsdidaktik muss sich gegenüber anderen Disziplinen, Fächern und Forschungsansätzen positionieren. Wo genau steht sie heute? Neben Reflexionen über Raumbezüge und Grenzen fokussiert dieser Band grundlegende Fragen nach den Bezugsdisziplinen der Geschichtsdidaktik und produktive Auseinandersetzungen mit ihren kulturwissenschaftlichen Nachbardisziplinen in Theorie und Unterrichtspraxis. Die Beiträge untersuchen Positionierungen und Selbstvergewisserungen und nehmen fachliche Bezüge und konzeptionelle Horizonte in den Blick. Diese lassen sich nicht statisch verstehen, sondern müssen flexibel und fluide gedacht werden.

The study is a contribution to comparative welfare state research, while assigning Serbia and Croatia to well-known models. It identifies distinct regime types in labour market and long-term care policy fields and shows (in)consistency in the underlying welfare logics. Moreover, the study delivers a comparative account of labour market and long-term care policies in Serbia and Croatia, using in-depth descriptive country studies and illuminates issues that have, thus far, not been at the centre of international research interest, despite the pressing need. The book provides a comprehensive picture on structures, processes and key challenges, as well as respective links to recommended reforms. Michael Sauer teaches at the Department of Social Policy and Qualitative Methods of Social Research at the University of Cologne. Further he works as a consultant and regional expert on the Western Balkans.
