Lantibiotics as Alternative Therapeutics explores alternative therapeutics, lantibiotics and other novel drugs. This book provides concrete information to readers regarding lantibiotics and various types of antimicrobial peptides with their mode of actions in treating various multidrug resistant organisms. It explains various techniques that are involved in analyzing antimicrobial peptides and their mode of actions. The development of antibiotic resistance has now reached a point of crisis where innovative methods and application of novel compounds and methods are required to prevent the spread of drug resistant infections. Novel compounds exhibit different modes of action to the currently used mechanism of therapeutics in order to combat against the resistant organisms. Lantibiotics hold considerable potential as a consequence of their unusual structure, unique mechanisms of action and their potency against multi-drug resistant bacteria. This book will be useful for pharmaceutical industry scientists and researchers in microbial and biomedical research as well as graduate and advanced students in microbiology, medical biotechnology, health, and pharmaceutical sciences.

“Moving beyond a market-centric paradigm of social in/exclusion, this book critically interrogates the push/pull socio-political factors by which marginalised groups are simultaneously included and excluded across the EU. This sensitive and thought-provoking account highlights the progress being made, the obstacles that remain, and the need for all EU students to rethink conceptualisations and understandings of equality.” –Paul Copeland, School of Politics and International Relations, Queen Mary University of London, UK This volume provides an updated analysis of the most significant constitutive aspects for the political sociology of the EU. It examines in detail how civic and political activism regarding the inclusion and integration of gender and sexual minorities, as well as migrants and refugees, have become substantial forces in Europe today. It exhibits a political sociology perspective that moves away from the predominant state-centrism and institutional focus in mainstream analyses of European politics. It brings to the fore the role of citizens, civil society and identity politics as well as transnational societal phenomena impacting on the ambivalent civic in/exclusion tendencies prevalent in the EU. The book highlights the linkage of EU institutions and policies to established and new societal actors in response to recent challenges of the EU.

L'isolation thermique des bâtiments, anciens ou contemporains, publics ou privés, collectifs ou individuels, ne fait plus débat: depuis une trentaine d'années, les exigences règlementaires se renforcent régulièrement en la matière. Incontournables dans la conception architecturale, les isolants sont rarement remis en cause. Pourtant, leur sélection est d'autant plus cruciale en rénovation qu'elle peut avoir des incidences tant sur l'identité, la qualité architecturale et l'habitabilité du bâti ancien que sur son évolutivité future. Le choix d'un isolant peut aussi influencer lourdement le bilan environnemental global de l'intervention, notamment par une consommation élevée de ressources naturelles et énergétiques et par d'importantes émissions de gaz à effet de serre tout au long de son cycle de vie. Au vu de leur utilisation massive, ces matériaux doivent donc répondre aux objectifs de gestion durable des ressources et d'économie circulaire. S'appuyant sur les études et projets de recherche menés par les deux autrices sur ces sujets, l'ouvrage explore et compare les caractéristiques d'une cinquantaine d'isolants thermiques disponibles sur le marché actuel de la rénovation. Il permet de guider le lecteur dans un choix équilibré et raisonné de matériaux isolants, adaptés au bâti existant et à ses spécificités, tout en étant durables et circulaires. Largement illustré, il s'adresse à un public varié, du propriétaire à la recherche d'une solution d'isolation à l'étudiant en architecture, en passant par les professionnels de la rénovation énergétique.

Cet essai examine la discrétion comprise comme vertu sociale essentielle dans une société décente: elle est étudiée non pas en tant que qualité morale individuelle, mais comme un concept social qui permet de penser les phénomènes d'invisibilité sociale choisie, et non seulement subie. La discrétion caractérise les grands esprits, qui construisent leur œuvre dans l'ombre et le silence. Ils préfèrent la patience du penser à la fébrile agitation de l'opinion médiatique. Et si cette sagesse se transfusait un peu à tous les citoyens?

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically exposed weaknesses in UK housing's relationship to the labour market and welfare system. Inequalities in household type, home occupancy, housing cost and security have contributed to the unequal impact of the disease. Comprehensively charting fast-moving and inter-linked policy developments, Becky Tunstall assesses the position of housing and home in public policy, health and in peoples' lives, and documents the most immediate responses to the pandemic, for students, scholars and practitioners.
