Abstract

Research into alcohol use by young people is mostly focused on adolescents, secondary or further education students rather than university students. However, alcohol drinking among university students is a widely recognized problem and represents a serious health and cultural problem, with many negative individual, interpersonal and cultural consequences. Binge drinking, an increasingly common pattern of excessive alcohol use with serious negative consequences for individual drinkers, those around them, and the university environment, is a major problem on university campuses. Alcohol consumption among youths is affected by a complex of risk and protective factors, investigation of which is essential for a better understanding and focusing of the intervention procedures. The complex linkages of risk and protective factors and problem behaviours change over time and within different cultures and countries. The importance of this kind of research for the field of prevention is obvious: If we can determine the personal and interpersonal protective and risk factors affecting alcohol-use behaviour, we can better plan preventive interventions focused on creating and enhancing the personal protective attributes. To design and develop appropriate interventions, to improve behavioural outcomes for adolescents, a better understanding of these complexities and relations is required.

Abstract

The medicalisation of alcohol use has become a prominent discourse that guides policy makers and impacts public perceptions of drinking. This book maps the historical and cultural dimensions of the phenomenon, emphasising medical attitudes to alcohol and the changing perception of consumption in psychiatry and mental health.

Abstract

Alcohol use disorder is by far the most prevalent substance use disorder in the general population and is a major contributor to disease worldwide. Recovery from the disorder is a dynamic process of change, and individuals take many different routes to resolve their alcohol problems and seek to achieve a life worth living. Total abstention is not the only solution and robust recovery involves more than changing drinking practices. This volume brings together multidisciplinary research on recovery processes, contexts, and outcomes as well as new ideas about the multiple pathways involved. Experts chart the individual, social, contextual, community, economic, regulatory, policy, and structural influences that are vital to understanding alcohol use disorder and recovery. The book recommends new approaches to conceptualizing and assessing recovery alongside new avenues for research, community engagement, and policy that constitute a major shift in the practice and policy landscape.

Abstract

Craft breweries spring up like mushrooms around the globe. Creating unique brands to stand out, they draw from the full riches of graphic language and are leading the way in modern packaging design. From the minimalist to the expressionist, using lines, colors, patterns and illustrations, all the styles are allowed and it makes for an exciting, exuberant visual culture.In Craft Beer Design, Danish designer Peter Monrad finally brings a global perspective to the truly global phenomenon that is craft beer branding. As microbreweries use cans and bottle labels to define their ethos and identity, they push the boundaries of graphic design and illustration. This curated selection shows the best and the most out-there, and reveals that when it comes to craft beer, what?s on the can matters as much as what?s in it.Copyright Bookshop: https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/craft-beer-design-the-design-illustration-and-branding-of-contemporary-breweries/

Abstract

Alcohol addiction is characterized by the loss of control over drinking. In our country, 1 in 10 persons present difficulties to control its consumption. Unfortunately, there are few treatments currently available and they present low efficiency. For decades, alcohol addiction has been considered as a pathology that develops during adulthood. However, recent studies indicate that the roots of alcohol addiction may begin to grow much earlier in life, and they precisely pointed toward adolescence. Adolescents consume a lot of alcohol and particularly high amounts of alcohol in a short time, a pattern called “binge-drinking”. However, adolescents are more sensitive to alcohol than adults because of the immaturity of their brain. Indeed, after birth, the brain continues to maturate until 25 years old and the last brain region to become mature is the prefrontal cortex. This part of the brain is responsible for executive function and a master center for impulse inhibition. Consequently, its immaturity in teenagers explains their typical behaviors, with increased impulsivity and desire of risk-taking. We used a mouse model of adolescent alcohol exposure (AAE) previously described to induce the progressive development of severe behavioral impairments related to prefrontal cortex malfunction. The aim of this work was to use this AAE mouse model to study the impact of alcohol on the activity of mTORC1 (= mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1), a major regulator of the local translation, in the prefrontal cortex. In addition, this research project investigates a potential rescue of alcohol-induced behavioral consequences, via modulation of mTORC1. In order to assess mTORC1 activity, western blotting and immunohistochemistry techniques were used. In addition, 2 behavioral tests were used to study the impact of mTORC1 inhibition on anxiety levels and alcohol consumption: the Elevated Plus Maze and the 2-bottle choice tests. Results showed that mTORC1 is activated in the prefrontal cortex of adolescent mice after alcohol exposure. Furthermore, systemic inhibition of mTORC1 rescues the increased anxiety and alcohol addiction levels induced by AAE in adult mice.

Abstract

"The safe disposal of distillery waste into the environment, as well as their recycling and management, has become a hot topic in developing countries including India. This gross misconduct creates serious environmental and public health hazards. Thus, adequate management of waste has become a priority of environmental engineers and biotechnologists for environmental safety and sustainable development. Recent Advances in Distillery Waste Management for Environmental Safety covers specific, advanced, and updated knowledge on various developed individual and/or innovative, green, and emerging plant-microbes based technologies uses for management and recycling of distillery waste in an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective manner for sustainable development. Moreover, this book provides comprehensive state-of-the-art information on the physicochemical properties, chemical composition, and environmental risks associated with distillery waste. Moreover, the book also discusses various existing methods and technologies, up-gradation of existing technologies, the advent of newer technologies for the treatment, processing, and disposal of distillery waste, and focus areas for further development. This broad and unique coverage allows treatment firms and regulatory authorities to determine and develop appropriate treatment strategies for site-specific problems of distillery waste remediation. Features: Provides practical solutions for the treatment and recycling of distillery waste illustrated by specific case studies. Focuses on recent industry practices and preferences, along with newer approaches for wastewater treatment. An instructive compilation of treatment approaches, including advanced physicochemical and integrated/sequential methods. Covers biocomposting of sludge and effluent and biodiesel production from distillery waste for recycling and sustainable development. Emphasizing the relationship of metagenomics with organometallic compounds of distillery waste. Discusses the role of ligninolytic enzymes and bioreactors in distillery wastewater treatment. This book serves an accessible reference to assist, engineering consultants, industrial waste managers, policy-makers, environmental engineers, government implementers, researchers, scientists, and a wide range of professionals responsible for regulating, monitoring, and designing industrial wastewater treatment techniques, who aspire to work on the reclamation, recycling, and management of distillery waste or wastewater pollutants for environmental safety and sustainable development"--
