Lathyrus sativus and Nutrition - Michele Barone - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Lathyrus sativus and Nutrition - Michele Barone - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses the traditional use of a specific crop legume, grass pea (Lathyrus sativus), as a food product and ingredient for typical food products. Grass pea has very interesting nutritional qualities, including an abundance of proteins and peculiar organoleptic properties. As the crop also shows an enhanced resistance to adverse conditions, it is used in many geographical areas as the main ingredient of certain traditional foods. On the other hand, grass pea is questionable as a source of human and animal nutrition because it contains a neurotoxin - β- N -oxalyl-L-α,β-diaminopropionic acid - that is known for its neurological effects. The related disease is referred to as ''neurolathyrism'' and occurs when grass pea-based foods are consumed in large quantities. The book is divided into five chapters, the first of which summarizes the chemical and biochemical properties of grass pea and provides nutritional evaluations. The second chapter provides an overview of foods containing Lathyrus sativus around the world, while the third describes Italian foods in detail. The fourth chapter focuses on the problem of neurolathyrism in connection with human nutrition and health. In closing, the fifth chapter sheds light on the historical and traditional food products sector from a food traceability and authenticity standpoint.

Environmental Impacts of Mountaineering - Michal Apollo

Environmental Impacts of Mountaineering - Michal Apollo

This book investigates the consequences of mountaineering (hiking, trekking, climbing) on the natural environment. These consequences are divided into three groups: 1) transformations caused by the mountaineer¿s, or other people¿s, stay in a mountaineering region; 2) transformations caused by the mountaineer¿s travel (movement) through a mountaineering region, with the consideration of the ground type (rock, rock and grass, grass, residual soil, snow, ice), and 3) transformations caused by the..

Soil and Recycling Management in the Anthropocene Era - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Soil and Recycling Management in the Anthropocene Era - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book discusses soil and recycling management in the Anthropocene era. Nitrogen shortage is one of nature''s most important productivity regulators, but since the advent of technical nitrogen fixation (TNF), biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) input has nearly doubled, particularly in grass and arable lands covering over 13 million km 2 of the Earth''s surface. This book explores how monoculture grass, arable lands and forests are often over fertilized with TNF, animal slurries, sewage sludge, or municipally produced composts, and as a result, flora and fauna that have adapted to a nitrogen shortage in the soil will have to adjust to a surplus; those that are unable to adapt will disappear.

Political Spirituality for a Century of Water Wars - James W. Perkinson - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Booktok.dk

Political Spirituality for a Century of Water Wars - James W. Perkinson - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Booktok.dk

This book offers resources for re-imagining the biblical vision of water for a time quickly emerging as "the century of water wars." It takes its urgency from the author''s 5-year activist engagement with a grass-roots-led social movement, pushing back on Detroit water shutoffs as global climate crises intensify. Concerned with both white supremacist "biopolitics" and continuing settler colonial reliance on the Doctrine of Christian Discovery, and beholden to an interreligious methodology of "crossing over and coming back," the text creatively re-reads the biblical tradition under tutelage to the mythologies and practices of various indigenous cultures (Algonquian/Huron, Haitian/ Vodouisant , and Celtic/Norman) whose embrace of water is animate and spiritual as well as political and communal. Not enough, today, merely to engage the political battle over water rights, however; indigenous wisdom and biblical prophecy alike insist that recovery of water spirituality is central to a sustainable future.

Muslim Women’s Political Participation in France and Belgium - Amina Easat Daas - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Booktok.dk

Muslim Women’s Political Participation in France and Belgium - Amina Easat Daas - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Booktok.dk

This book outlines the principal motivations, opportunities and barriers to Muslim women''s political participation in France and francophone Belgium. Easat-Daas draws on in-depth comparative contextual analysis along with semi-structured interview material with women from France and Belgium who self-identify as Muslim and are active in a variety of modes of political participation, such European Parliamentarians, Senators, councilwomen, trade-union activists and those engaged in grass-roots political movements. This provides an alternative framing of Muslim women, removed from the tired and often exaggerated stereotypes that portray them as passive objects or sources of threat, instead highlighting their remarkable resilience and consistent determination. Through exploring the intersecting fault lines of racial, Islamophobic and gendered struggles of Muslim women in these two cases, this book also sheds new light on the role of ''European Islam'', political opportunity structures, secularism and Muslim women''s dress.

Reshaping Poland’s Community after Communism - Helena Chmielewska Szlajfer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Booktok.dk

Reshaping Poland’s Community after Communism - Helena Chmielewska Szlajfer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Booktok.dk

Harnessing a cultural sociological approach to explore transformations in key social spheres in post-1989 Poland, Chmielewska-Szlajfer illuminates shifts in religiosity, sympathy towards others, and civic activity in post-Communist Poland in the light of Western influence over elements of Polish life. Reshaping Poland''s Community after Communism focuses on three major cases, largely ignored in Polish scholarship: (1) a hugely popular, faux-baroque Catholic shrine, which illustrates new strategies adopted by the Polish Catholic Church to attract believers; (2) Woodstock Station, a widely known free charity music festival, demonstrating new practices of sympathy towards strangers; and (3) the emergence of national internet pro-voting campaigns and small-town watchdog websites, which uncover changes in practical uses of civic engagement. In exploring grass-roots, everyday negotiations of religiosity, charity, and civic engagement in contemporary Poland, Chmielewska-Szlajfer demonstrates how a country''s cultural changes can suggest wider, dramatic democratic transformation.

Frontier Nursing in Appalachia: History, Organization and the Changing Culture of Care - Edie West - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Frontier Nursing in Appalachia: History, Organization and the Changing Culture of Care - Edie West - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a historical analysis of the Frontier Nursing Services in the Eastern Appalachians of the United States, as well as a review of the oral history tradition of former frontier and non-frontier nurses. The data was gathered from 2003 to 2007, and the historical part covers the years 1900 to 1970. The objective of the study presented here was to conduct interviews with former frontier and non-frontier nurses in order to better understand their family and personal relationships, and the experiences that motivated their career choices. These interviews also give a voice to the working and middle-class women of the FNS. The emerging themes include moral inhabitability in work/education environments, the generational mix, nurse-physician and male-female relationships at the workplace, the role of technology, humanitarian versus financial rewards, and the public image of nurses. In addition, the book examines how the FNS shifted from a community/grass-roots structure to the corporate/business model of healthcare delivery employed today. In closing, it stresses the importance of explorig past nursing in order to better grasp present nursing. It also represents a testament to the professional work and vital contributions of frontier nurses.
