Abstract

This book addresses the causes and effects of nutrient deficiencies along the cell-to-communities continuum. The book is primarily concerned with a lack or deficiency of one or more micro- or macronutrients in connection with malnutrition, under nutrition, and starvation. Embedded within the deficiency states is acute restriction whereby food is withdrawn completely for short periods, as when individuals are adhering to religious requirements or undergoing surgical procedures. Further downstream is the consumption of a fraction of the normal diet, as when individuals are dieting or when there is restriction in the amount or variety of food available. The causes of such reductions in dietary intake are varied and also include the social context of poverty, financial limitations, and famine. Refugees and displaced persons may also be vulnerable to under nutrition or total starvation. Diseases may also impact on the total food consumed, such as when there are physical impediments (intestinal obstruction or dysphagia) or anorexia (induced by organic disease or as a disease process per se, ie, anorexia nervosa). This book, organized as approximately 125 chapters in 17 major sections, covers the variable manifestations of dietary restrictions on cells, whole organs, the individual, and societies. .

Abstract

This multivolume reference work addresses the fact that the well being of humankind is predicated not only on individuals receiving adequate nutrition but also on their genetic makeup. The work includes more than 100 chapters organized in the following major sections: Introduction and Overview; Epigenetics of Organs and Diseases in Relation to Diet and Nutrition; Detailed Processes in Epigenetics of Diet and Nutrition; Modulating Epigenetics with Diet and Nutrition; and Practical Techniques. While it is well known that genes may encode proteins responsible for structural and dynamic components, there is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that nutrition itself may alter the way in which genes are expressed via the process of epigenetics. This is where chemically imposed alteration in the DNA sequence occurs or where the functional expression of DNA is modulated. This may include changes in DNA methylation, non-coding RNA, chromatin, histone acetylation or methylation, and genomic imprinting. Knowledge regarding the number of dietary components that impact on epigenetic processes is increasing almost daily. Marshalling all the information on the complex relationships between diet, nutrition, and epigenetic processes is somewhat difficult due to the wide myriad of material. It is for this reason that the present work has been compiled. .

Abstract

Dieses essential stellt ein wissenschaftlich fundiertes System der psychischen Gefährdungsbeurteilung vor, das den gesetzlichen Vorgaben entspricht. Es zeigt auf, welche Schritte ein umfassendes und betriebsspezifisches Gefährdungscontrolling beinhaltet und welche Rolle der psychischen Gefährdungsbeurteilung in diesem Prozess zukommt. Die Methode der evidenzbasierten psychischen Gefährdungsbeurteilung dient als Grundlage, um Gefährdungen adäquat zu erfassen und wirksame (Gegen-)Maßnahmen einzuleiten und hilft bei der Implementierung des Gefährdungscontrollings. So kann ein kontinuierlicher und nachhaltiger Lernprozess im Unternehmen angeregt werden, von dem Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber profitieren. Der Inhalt Prinzipien der evidenzbasierten psychischen Gefährdungsbeurteilung Gefährdungscontrolling Instrumente der evidenzbasierten psychischen Gefährdungsbeurteilung Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Fachgebiete Arbeitswissenschaft, Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie sowie Arbeit und Gesundheit Entscheider und Entscheiderinnen im Betrieblichen Gesundheitsmanagement sowieund im Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz Die Autoren Prof. Dr. Pfaff ist Direktor des Instituts für Medizinsoziologie, Versorgungsforschung und Rehabilitationswissenschaft (IMVR) der Universität zu Köln. Sabrina Zeike und Lara Lindert sind wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterinnen am Institut für Medizinsoziologie, Versorgungsforschung und Rehabilitationswissenschaft (IMVR) der Universität zu Köln.
