The rhizosphere is an ecological hotspot. Plant roots, bacteria, archaea, fungi, nematodes, and other macroscopic organisms interact here with each other. Plants represent the main influencing force as they produce a mixture of chemical molecules and extrude them in the form of root exudates. Those exudates determine not only the nutrient availability of the plant but also influence the outcome of the interactions in the vicinity of the roots. In response to the plant-derived signals, a subset of the bulk soil microbes can proliferate in the proximity of the root and some of them can eventually overcome the plant defense system to colonize the plants. The root-associated microbiota is assume...
The use of biocontrol agents and beneficial organisms for management of plant and pest diseases appears as an environment-friendly and economic procedure. However, this option is not always available, depending on the lack of knowledge on the mechanisms of natural regulation, locally effective. In this view, this eBook considers studies and experimental works illustrating a range of problems and solutions based on microbial resources, suitable for management of biotic stress factors. These examples show how detailed data and knowledge on the organisms involved are of paramount importance to achieve a sustainable and durable management capability.

The purpose of this book is to illuminate a theory of youth engagement in restorative justice that seeks to create systems change for more equitable schools. The authors define youth engagement in restorative justice as partnering with young people most impacted by structural injustice as changemakers in all aspects of restorative practices including community building, healing, and the transformation of institutions. Based on Adam Fletcher’s version of the Ladder of Youth Engagement, coupled with Barbara Love’s model of liberatory consciousness and an analysis of youth engagement in Restorative Justice in three different regions—Western Massachusetts, Oakland, and Houston—the author...
Fungal and parasitic diseases affect more than one billion people across the globe. This is one-sixth of the world´s population, mostly located in developing countries. The lack of effective and safe treatments, combined with inefficient diagnosis, leads to serious chronic illness or even death. There is a discrepancy between the rate of drug resistance and the development of new medicines. Formulation of antifungal and antiparasitic drugs adapted to different administration routes is challenging, bearing in mind the poor water solubility that limits their bioavailability and efficacy. There is an unmet clinical need to develop vaccines, novel formulations and drug delivery strategies that can improve the bioavailability and therapeutic effects by enhancing their dissolution, increasing their chemical potency, stabilizing the drug and targeting high concentrations of the drug to infection sites. This Special Issue includes ten research articles of antifungal and antiparasitic drug delivery systems.
"Leemos en la biografía de Marta Pérez Arellano que, para ella, la maternidad no ha sido un freno sino la experiencia que le ha dado alas en su actividad literaria [...] ha sido capaz de ofrecernos a las que cuidamos, a las que hacemos que la vida continúe, un refugio, una herramienta reivindicativa y un abrazo infinito". Del prólogo de June Fernández. La niña que llegó con un futuro bajo el brazo y otros relatos seudomaternales es una crónica de experiencia vital, testimonio de las luces y sombras que acontecen entre el embarazo de la autora y el primer cumpleaños de su hija. A través de reflexiones y poemas íntimos, realiza una crítica contundente a la sociedad del siglo XXI, que infravalora el valor del cuidado, educa en estereotipos y, con tanta ligereza, nos llama malas madres.
