This book is the result of a doctoral research that investigated the views and attitudes towards English, English as a lingua franca (ELF) and the teaching of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) of a population of undergraduate students at an Italian University. The research developed out of an interest in the Italian students' views of what English is and does, and their own perceived needs as learners of a language whose status appears to be undergoing a shift from that of a foreign language towards that of a seemingly de-nativized, de-territorialized and culturally neutral transactional currency for lingua franca communication. Students' Views and Attitudes towards English and ELF in an Italian University is situated in the context of the global expansion of English and its unprecedented advance in key societal domains of the non- native English-speaking countries of the Western world. The book provides a fresh perspective on the contemporary realities of English and contributes to the task of assessing the prevailing pedagogical models of English as a foreign language (EFL) that inform English language teaching in the Italian education system.

The purpose of the book is to describe modern approaches to rhythm control for atrial fibrillation, discussing the strengths and the points of weakness of each. To do so properly, the first part of the book discusses the theoretical electrophysiological models of this arrhythmia, their development over the past century, their points of contact and divergence. The following parts describe the non pharmacological approaches to rhythm control, the antiarrhythmic drugs and the invasive strategies, citing the evidence they are backed by and explaining their mechanisms, their targets and the subpopulations they should be better addressed to.

Le développement économique et social représente une menace importante pour la biodiversité. Il a conduit à l'introduction de plantes dans de nouveaux territoires. En franchissant les barrières écosystémiques, certaines d'entre elles parviennent à devenir invasives. Les invasions biologiques sont la cause de l'extinction d'un grand nombre d'espèces végétales indigènes et/ou endémiques. En Martinique, les forêts font l'objet d'une grande anthropisation qui facilitent l'installation d'espèces introduites dont certaines deviennent potentiellement invasives. Afin de déceler les éventuels impacts de ces taxa sur les populations d'espèces indigènes, une campagne 'inventaires floristiques a été menée en Martinique. L'objectif principal était de les identifier et d'évaluer leur état d'évolution sur l'île. Les recherches bibliographiques et les nombreux relevés de terrain menés, nous ont permis de définir leur profil écologique. Les zones où les espèces potentiellement invasives seraient les plus virulentes ont été déterminées à partir de leurs affinités écologiques. Cette analyse nous a permis de déterminer la chorologie des espèces potentiellement invasives.

O momento atual, caracterizado pela indefinição do constitucionalismo e do conceito de constituição nos contextos nacional, comparado e global, não pode desprezar as raízes do movimento constitucional. Alicerçado a partir do pensamento moderno, tumultuado nas revoluções liberais, e relativamente estabilizado a partir do Congresso de Viena, o constitucionalismo oitocentista viu nascer uma específica arquitetura institucional informada por dimensões materiais, cuja influência se mantém.A obra visa, pois, analisar as coordenadas que baseiam os diversos modelos constitucionais e delinear os respetivos fundamentos.

Functional Bio-based Materials for Regenerative Medicine: From Bench to Bedside explores the use of bio-based materials for the regeneration of tissues and organs. The book presents an edited collection of 28 topics in 2 parts focused on the translation of these materials from laboratory research (the bench) to practical applications in clinical settings (the bedside). Chapter authors highlight the significance of bio-based materials, such as hydrogels, scaffolds, and nanoparticles, in promoting tissue regeneration and wound healing. Topics in the book include: - the properties of bio-based materials, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and the ability to mimic the native extracellular matrix. - fabrication techniques and approaches for functional bio-based material design with desired characteristics like mechanical strength and porosity to promote cellular attachment, proliferation, and differentiation - the incorporation of bioactive molecules, such as growth factors, into bio-based materials to enhance their regenerative potential. - strategies for the controlled release of molecules to create a favorable microenvironment for tissue regeneration. - the challenges and considerations involved in scaling up the production of bio-based materials, ensuring their safety and efficacy, and obtaining regulatory approval for clinical use Part 2 covers advanced materials and techniques used in tissue engineering.

In Between Memory and Forgetting, Harsh Mander recounts the history of one of the most gruesome communal massacres since India's independence in Gujarat in 2002. This occurred under the watch of Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who led the state until he went on to be elected as Prime Minister a dozen years later. Mander tells the story of the years that passed between the carnage and his elevation as Prime Minister, examining difficult questions of whether he carries guilt for the crimes, and whetheracknowledgment, remorse, reparation and justice were accomplished in the years which followed. The book emerges as a powerfully reasoned indictment of Modi's record in these years, for not just why the survivors of the carnage were denied both reconciliation and justice; but also for the rise of a series of spectacular extra-judicial killings, including of Ishrat Jahan and Sohrabuddin Sheikh. In the last section, Mander writes stories of courageous resistance to the injustice of these years, by persons within and outside government.

A multitude of secret paths and trails exist in the world of Waldyra. Some of them lead to places that can only be described as "non-canonical." Those are always extremely well-concealed and almost impossible to find. Should anyone succeed in setting their foot on such a path, they'd be warned about doing it at their own peril. Orbit has found one of these secret ways. It is another trail that bypasses the grim black gates and leads directly to the divine inferno known as Tantariall. The brave heroes of the Brotherhood will see much on their journey, and some of those things will be outrageously insane. Even Orbit will have to admit that such sights had only been seen by the so-called "primers" previously-the legendary first testers of Waldyra. Obsessed with his goal, Orbit leads the heroes to an area called Purgamentum. They find themselves forced to take on the roles of the long-gone primers, and the dark underbelly of the bright world of Waldyra readily swallows up the Brotherhood of the Trail.
