Abstract

Multiresistant bacterial pathogens pose a serious problem worldwide making the appropriate treatment of patients with healthcare-associated infections a challenge. The spread of antibiotic resistance is either mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs) or the dissemination of genetically-related groups of pathogens, “high-risk clonal complexes”. Interestingly most multiresistant healthcare-associated bacteria command just a few dominant international clonal complexes causing infections in various geographical areas. It is of utmost importance to identify the determinants associated with and promoting the spread of antibiotic resistance and the dissemination of these multiresistant pathogens. The Topic comprises mostly of population and epidemiological studies investigating antibiotic resistance mechanisms, MGEs and the impact of antibiotic resistance, and the production of virulence factors on the clonal dynamics of a diverse range of bacterial species. Though, the exploration of the mechanisms governing clonal dynamics and the dissemination of antibiotic resistance will remain a salient issue for a considerable time to come we believe that the papers published in the Topic have usefully contributed to the better understanding of some of the processes involved and supplement papers investigating the “non-bacterial” constituents of clonal mobility, like proper medical practice and compliance with hygienic standards.

Abstract

"Music is a mobile art. When people move to faraway places, whether by choice or by force, they bring their music along. Music creates a meaningful point of contact for individuals and for groups; it can encourage curiosity and foster understanding, and it can preserve a sense of identity and comfort in an unfamiliar or hostile environment. Above all, music continually changes as it crosses cultural, linguistic, and political boundaries. While human mobility and mediation have always shaped music-making, our current era of digital connectedness introduces new creative opportunities and inspiration even as it extends concerns about issues such as copyright infringement and cultural appropriation. With its innovative multimodal approach, Music on the Move invites readers to listen and engage with many different types of music as they read. The text introduces a variety of concepts related to music's travels-with or without its makers-including colonialism, migration, diaspora, mediation, propaganda, copyright, and hybridity. The case studies represent a variety of musical genres and styles, Western and non-Western, concert music, traditional music, and popular music. Over one hundred audiovisual examples throughout the book demonstrate the application of particular concepts, and six interactive digital maps visually present music's global reach"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Die lateinische Lehrdichtung der Frühen Neuzeit ist ein von der modernen Forschung bis heute nur wenig beachtetes Phänomen, dem sich der vorliegende Band auf weiter Ebene widmet: die diskutierten Texte erstrecken sich über einen Raum von Italien bis Brasilien und eine Zeitspanne vom ausgehenden 15. bis zum späten 18. Jahrhundert. Neben grundlegenden Fragen zur Gattung des frühneuzeitlichen Lehrgedichts, das mit seinen vielseitigen Ausprägungen eine Herausforderung für strenge Klassifikationsmodelle darstellt, bieten die Analysen einen Einblick in die Strategien dichterischer Wissensvermittlung, bei der neben wissenschaftlichen Themen nicht zuletzt gesellschaftliche und politische Zusammenhänge im Fokus stehen. Die Publikation richtet sich an ein fachkundiges Publikum, gibt jedoch durch Übersetzungen und ausführliche Paraphrasen der Originaltexte auch Interessierten ohne Lateinkenntnisse die Möglichkeit, dieses in der Frühen Neuzeit beliebte Genre in seiner ganzen kulturellen Bandbreite sowie seinem enormen Einfluss auf volkssprachige Dichtung kennenzulernen und zu erkunden, wie wissenschaftliche Dichtung zu einer Zeit funktionieren konnte, in der Literatur und Wissenschaft noch keine getrennten Bereiche darstellten. Distillation flasks, sugar cane mills, and the brain - the scientific revolution created a spectacular range of themes, even in a traditional genre such as didactic poetry. In this volume, internationally renowned researchers in Latin didactic poetry examine the many facets of early modern scientific poetry and offer insights on these previously neglected texts.

Abstract

The first volume of the Unimi Connect - Universe Third Mission series features 14 projects covering social inclusion, sustainability and rights. The first section describes activities to support the most fragile: such as the attempt to restore an identity to the victims of the Mediterranean Sea; the outpatient clinic built for the children from the slums of Nairobi; and the project to help the inmates who want to graduate from prison.In the second section, projects dedicated to sustainability find space: such as the University of the Mountain in Edolo or the Milan University's own strategies to reduce the environmental impact of its activities.In the third volume, we find projects focused on human rights: those of people with disabilities, the right to a safe and transparent society, and legal matters concerning international families. Nel primo volume della collana Unimi Connect – Universo Terza Missione sono inclusi 14 progetti che riguardano il campo dell’inclusione sociale, della sostenibilità e dei diritti.Nella prima sezione sono descritte attività di sostegno ai più fragili: come le vittime del Mediterraneo, a cui si cerca di restituire un’identità; i bambini delle baraccopoli di Nairobi, cui è stato dedicato un poliambulatorio; i detenuti che vogliono laurearsi in carcere.Nella seconda sezione trovano spazio progetti dedicati alla sostenibilità ambientale: come l’Università della montagna di Edolo o le strategie dell’Università di Milano stessa per ridurre l’impatto sull’ambiente delle sue attività.Nella terza, i progetti incentrati sui diritti: quelli delle persone disabili, il diritto a una società sicura e trasparente, le problematiche delle famiglie internazionali.

Abstract

"Introduction to Cancer Metastasis provides an overview of cancer metastais and novel therapeutic targets, all in one place. Through specific chapters on three divers topics - primary cancers and their metastasis, common metastatic sites and emerging targets for therapy - this volume comprehensively informs readers on the broader knowledge gained on cancer metastasis so far. Key features: Includes basic biology and translational approaches to organ-specific cancer sites; Provides readers with information on emerging therapeutic targets for cancer metastasis; Contains contributions from leading researchers around the globe"--P. [4] of cover.

Abstract

Metastasis of cancer cells from primary tumor site to secondary locations is considered a late event in multistep tumorigenesis, and causes most cancer-related mortality. The process from the spreading of cancer cells to the seeding of newly formed tumor colonizations is governed by sequential events, including local invasion, intravasation into stroma and blood vessels, survival in circulation, extravasation, and colonization at secondary tumor sites. Cancer research provides information on the fate of metastatic cancer cells in each sequential movement or heterogeneous tumor microenvironment. However, the complexity of this mechanism remains the most stringent concept of cancer management. This book provides information for cancer researchers on metastatic phenotypes of cancer cells, and diverse promoting factors and molecular mechanisms of metastasis.
