Nanomedicine represents one of the most investigated areas in the last two decades in the field of pharmaceutics. Several nanovectors have been developed and a growing number of products have been approved. It is well known that many biomaterials are able to self-organize under controlled conditions giving rise nanostructures. Polymers, lipids, inorganic materials, peptides and proteins, and surfactants are examples of such biomaterials and the self-assembling property can be exploited to design nanovectors that are useful for drug delivery. The self-organization of nanostructures is an attractive approach to preparing nanovectors, avoiding complex and high-energy-consuming preparation methods, and, in some cases, facilitating drug loading procedures. Moreover, preparations based on these biocompatible and pharmaceutical grade biomaterials allow an easy transfer from the lab to the industrial scale. This book reports ten different works, and a review, aiming to cover multiple strategies and pharmaceutical applications in the field of self-organizing nanovectors for drug delivery.

This open access book celebrates the decennial of the Department of Industrial Engineering of Università di Napoli Federico II, Italy. It covers the main research achievements developed at the department in the fields of aerospace, marine, energy, statistical, mechanical and management engineering. Five pre-existing departments merged in 2013, and the research results are here summarized to certify how important it was to join skills, expertise, and projects. The industrial engineering area is huge, but it is now dominated by the need to conceive and analyze new solutions, human and climate oriented to face with the actual challenges which dictate the new paradigm, which evolved from “is it feasible?” to “is it compatible with the environment and the human beings?”. There is still a lot to do, but the contents of this book demonstrate that the first steps have been done. All the researchers of the department have contributed to this book, more than 140 authors, and thus, it is the collective outcome of the path they were able to perform all together, including administrative officers and technicians. It highlights the international relevance and multidisciplinarity of research at the university as well as the planned research lines for the next years. .

Human Cities/SMOTIES – Creative works with small and remote places is a four-year project, started in 2020, and co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union. The SMOTIES Toolbox aims to guide project experts through co-designing public spaces. It has already been prototyped in remote places in 10 European countries and tested in four higher education programs. This book can help to build better places by supporting change through culture-led regeneration and stimulating diverse creative activities to foster the economic and social transformation of local ecosystems. Provides specific tools for regional self-empowerment Sustainable development to promote and safeguard quality of life and work Links to forms, hand-outs, and guidelines to assist and support citizen initiatives Human Cities/SMOTIES – Creative works with small and remote places ist ein vierjähriges Projekt, das 2020 gestartet wurde und durch das Creative Europe Programm der Europäischen Union kofinanziert wird. Die SMOTIES Toolbox zielt darauf ab, Projektexperten bei der Mitgestaltung öffentlicher Räume anzuleiten. Sie wurde bereits an abgelegenen Orten in 10 europäischen Ländern als Prototyp eingesetzt und in 4 Hochschulprogrammen getestet. Dieses Buch kann dazu beitragen, bessere Orte zu schaffen, indem es den Wandel durch kulturgeleitete Regeneration unterstützt und vielfältige kreative Aktivitäten anregt, um die wirtschaftliche und soziale Transformation lokaler Ökosysteme zu fördern.
