Agribusiness as the Future of Agriculture The Sugarcane Industry under Climate Change in the Southeast Mediterranean

Agribusiness as the Future of Agriculture The Sugarcane Industry under Climate Change in the Southeast Mediterranean

This informative book reviews the challenges of agribusiness in the Southeast Mediterranean. The author focuses on sugarcane cultivation in Egypt to illustrate the impact of climate change on agribusiness and his method and findings may be helpful for other studies in other regions as well. As climate change creates new risks to human populations and food security a better analysis is needed to understand this new level of uncertainty and to understand how it will impact agriculture and its relationship with economies livelihoods and development. Africa emits low greenhouse gases but is hit the hardest by global warming posing a serious challenge to increasing agricultural productivity in the Southeast Mediterranean. Sugarcane in Egypt is used as a local food source for international trade for the balance of payments for land and water use and as a basic product for food and fiber manufacturing. Hence every aspect of the economic structure of Egypt relates to agriculture. The book examines the causes and effects of climate change on agribusiness in the Southeast Mediterranean region such as its effect on prosperity and net farm incomes crop yields. It considers how to promote agribusiness development in the area and the potential to alleviate poverty in rural areas. It looks at the future of the sugarcane industry in Upper Egypt as a case study of agribusiness with implications that can be applied globally. | Agribusiness as the Future of Agriculture The Sugarcane Industry under Climate Change in the Southeast Mediterranean

Mood Dysregulation Beyond the Bipolar Spectrum

Mood Dysregulation Beyond the Bipolar Spectrum

Reflecting the author’s vast clinical experience as a psychiatrist this volume explains why so many people with treatment resistant depression respond to medication used to treat individuals with bipolar disorder. The book also helps to minimize the bipolar stigma by introducing the concept of mood dysregulation. At present people with mood dysregulation are not adequately described on the pages of any diagnostic manual. A cardinal feature of mood dysregulation is dysphoria a negative mood that is poorly understood but mistaken for the negative mood of depression creating diagnostic confusion one of the sources of treatment resistant depression. The author explains that a preponderance of the people she has seen in her practice who have so-called depression have mood disorders with features of bipolar disorder including response to medications typically effective in people with bipolar disorders. Thus these people are research orphans: to this day a paucity of literature exists on this group of individuals. In this volume the author addresses the clinical problems that result from failure to recognize such mood disorders. Key features of the book: Provides a thorough discussion of dysphoria that is not found in other books on the market Proposes a solution to a common and troublesome clinical problem that of misidentified treatment resistant depression Helps to destigmatize the treatments that are most beneficial to those with dysphoria by introducing the concept of mood dysregulation Discusses the etiology of mood disorders with implications for prevention This volume aims to help mental health professionals and patients more accurately recognize negative mood symptoms dysphoria in particular and arrive at more appropriate interventions to improve treatment outcomes for depression. No other book on the market takes up the topic of dysphoria and how its confusion with depression can lead to diagnostic mistakes that in turn lead to treatment failures and so-called treatment resistant depression. | Mood Dysregulation Beyond the Bipolar Spectrum

Sleep Circadian Rhythms and Metabolism The Rhythm of Life

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Providing a nuanced study of the connections between sleep circadian rhythms and metabolis this informative book examines how circadian actions affect the liver and adipose tissue the brain and metabolism. This important book introduces the reader to circadian rhythms in the body and the external cues that set them discusses on a molecular and organ level how disrupting these clocks results in metabolic and sleep disorders and looks at the clinical applications of circadian rhythms with a focus on sleep. The book covers a variety of important research in the field including:• The power of computational biology to uncover new nodes in the network of circadian rhythms• Circadian rhythms as they relates to obesity• How late-night shift conditions impair the body’s ability to keep time and promote metabolic diseases and how this can be mitigated by strategic planning of feeding times• The relationship between the suprachiasmatic nuclei and orexin neurons demonstrating the elegant interplay between our biological clocks and wakefulness• How sleep disorders can result from irregular circadian rhythms and potential ways to diagnose this in individuals• How sleeping behaviors can disturb the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the repercussions of this disruption on female reproduction• How disruption of sleep can be clinically beneficial for depressed patients• How mental state is influenced by circadian rhythm | Sleep Circadian Rhythms and Metabolism The Rhythm of Life

Climate Change and the Oceanic Carbon Cycle Variables and Consequences

Climate Change and the Oceanic Carbon Cycle Variables and Consequences

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. This valuable compendium provides an overview of the variables and consequences of oceanic carbon cycling in the context of climate change. The chapters highlight the importance of marine plankton in carbon processing as well as the effects of rising CO2 and temperature in their functioning. Marine ecosystems are being increasingly threatened by growing human pressures including climate change. Understanding the consequences that climate change may have is crucial to predict the future of our oceans. Rising temperatures and ocean acidification may profoundly alter the mode of matter and energy transformation in marine ecosystems which could have irreversible consequences for our planet on ecological timescales. For that reason the scientific community has engaged in the grand challenge of studying the variables and consequences of oceanic carbon cycling in the context of climate change which has emerged as a relevant field of science. The book is broken into four sections:Understanding the Importance of Ocean BiogeochemistryQuantifying Oceanic Carbon VariablesPhytoplankton and Oceanic Carbon Cycle Ocean AcidificationEdited by a researcher with many years of experience and with contributions from scientists from around the world this volume explores the most important topics on climate change and oceanic carbon cycling. | Climate Change and the Oceanic Carbon Cycle Variables and Consequences
