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

Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress

Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress

This new volume highlights the various emerging techniques and molecular applications that are currently being used in plant abiotic stress physiology. It provides a thorough overview of omics approaches in response to stressors such as low water accessibility (drought) excess water (flooding/waterlogging) extremes of temperatures (cold chill frost and heat) salinity mineral deficiency and heavy metal toxicity-many of which are the result of climate change. The book with chapters contributed by specialists in the field emphasizes the broad variety of themes using an omics analysis of plants under abiotic stress factors at the cellular and molecular levels. The chapter authors explore a variety of approaches to address plant abiotic stress including proteomic approaches genome editing applications and system biology approaches. The volume takes into consideration from omics perspective how to use the plant-microbe interaction to make plants more resilient to changing climates. It also looks at the role of ionomics (the study of complete mineral nutrient and trace elemental composition of a plant species) and osmoprotectants to address multiple abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Omics Analysis of Plants under Abiotic Stress provides the fundamental information for all who are working in or have interest in this specific field.

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
