The book is a practical guide for the various steps in the post-harvest technology of frozen shrimps. Shrimps are one of the most common and popular types of seafood consumed globally. The book discusses some of the most sought-after shrimps such as Penaeus monodon, P. vannamei, and Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Good-quality shrimp is a prerequisite for the seafood business as it is used for human consumption. Lack of proper knowledge in raw materials handling and post-harvest processing is the main obstacle in quality shrimp production. Complex business policy, commitment break in both parties (buyers and sellers), competition with other seafood-producing countries, and fluctuation of currency in international seafood market are the factors affecting international seafood business. This book closes this gap in literature and facilitates the production of excellent-quality exportable frozen shrimp through informed practices from experts. The book includes information about packaging of frozen shrimp, inspection, and shipment. It also compiles different mathematical calculations which are in practiced in the processing industries. The book is essential reading for professionals in the shrimp producing and processing industries. It is also useful for researchers in fisheries science, aquaculture, food technology, and food microbiology.

This book is written about a miracle method by which we may hope to have a “World without disease”: IT IS BASED ON THE COMBINATION OF SOME SIMPLE BASIC SCIENTIFIC FACTS • PROTEASES (enzymes), IN ADDITION TO HAVE BENEFICIAL FUNCTIONS IN OUR BODY, CAN ALSO INVOLVED IN THE TRIGGERING OF MANY DISEASES. • POLYPHENOL (PP) CONTAINING FOODS INCREASE A PROTEIN CALLED ALPHA-2-MACROGLOBULIN - A2M (A BROAD SPECTRUM PROTEASE INHIBITOR) NATURALLY FROM LIVER IN OUR BODY AND PROTECT US FROM THE TOXIC EFFECTS OF PROTEASES. • IN A CLINICAL STUDY WE HAVE SHOWN THAT WHEN THE CONCENTRATION OF A2M IS LOW IN OUR BODY FOR ANY REASON, WE BECOME SICK • KEEPING A2M IN NORMAL CONCENTRATION IN OUR BODY IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP US HEALTHY We need to know the reasons people die to improve how people live. Globally first 5 causes of death are as follows: In upper income countries 1. Ischemic heart disease 2. Alzheimer’s disease and dementias 3. Stroke 4. Trachea, Bronchus, lung cancer 5. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease In upper and lower middle income countries 1. Ischemic heart disease 2. Stroke 3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 4. Trachea, Bronchus, lung cancer 5. Lower respiratory infection In contrast In lower income countries 1. Neonatal conditions 2. Lower respiratory infection 3. Ischemic heart disease 4. Stroke 5. Diarrheal disease • I INVENTED A LIST OF SOME SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY AVAILABLE FOOD ITEMS WITH SOME SUPERFOODS WHICH CAN STIMULATE THE LIVER TO RELEASE NATURAL UNACTIVATED A2M. • USING THESE FOODS, 465 PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THEIR HEALTHY LIFE (NOT EVEN FEVER, COUGH OR ANY OTHER HEALTH ISSUES) FOR LAST 4 TO 5 YEARS. • SO FAR (01-12-2022), NONE OF THE VOLANTEERS, USING THESE FOODS HAD SUFFERED FROM CURRENT PANDEMIC COVIT-19 I SUGGEST TO INCLUDE SERUM A2M TEST IN OUR REGULAR BLOOD WORK TO CHECK OUR HEALTH STATUS.

Micronutrient research has been an important component of the soil fertility and plant nutrition program in Pakistan since the identification of zinc deficiency in rice in 1969. Since then, considerable progress has been made on diagnosis and management of micronutrient nutrition problems in crops. However, now there is growing R&D evidence that micronutrient malnutrition in humans could be addressed through enriching staple food grains with micronutrients. This book presents the latest R&D information on micronutrient problems in crop plants/cropping systems and their corrective measures. The current status, the constraints, and economic benefits of using micronutrient fertilizers for optimizing crop productivity and soil resource sustainability are discussed along with estimating future potential requirement of micronutrient fertilizers to optimize crop productivity, produce quality, and soil resource sustainability. Wide-scale preventable micronutrient deficiencies in human populations originate from micronutrient-deficient soils over which staple cereals and other food crops are grown. This book summarizes R&D information on fertilizer use-based micronutrient biofortification in staple food grains to address "hidden hunger" in human populations. The book also presents the best management practices by which micronutrient deficiencies could be corrected in crop plants in a farmer-friendly manner. Features Reviews the micronutrients R&D carried out in Pakistan over the past five decades Focuses on soil–plant analysis techniques for effective prognosis and diagnosis of micronutrient disorders Presents spatial variability maps of micronutrient deficiencies in agricultural soils and crops Provides value–cost ratios of using micronutrient fertilizers for major crops Works out current use level of micronutrient fertilizers and their potential future requirements in the country Discusses agronomic biofortification approach for enriching crop-based food with micronutrients to address "hidden hunger" Presents a compelling case for enhanced use of the deficient micronutrient fertilizers to optimize crop productivity, farmer income, and national economy Presents micronutrient fertilizer use recommendations for salient crops and discusses fertilizer use for micronutrients in the context of 4R nutrient stewardship Recommends future R&D needed for optimizing micronutrient nutrition of crops
This book highlights the conflict between jihadist militants and the West as essentially ideological in character. It has serious implications internalized by Muslim societies, with the boundaries of faith changed by the interplay of socio-political variables. Violence emerged in Muslim societies as a means of emancipation or identity when the state could not resolve the conflict situation. Although the militants were influenced by socio-political factors, they have always looked to religion to justify their acts of violence. This book, exposing the fallacy of the narrative evolved by the militants, offers a counter narrative. It reinterprets the primary sources, unravels the historical and socio-political constructs, unmasks the heroes and enemies, challenges the dichotomies between theory and practice, re-establishes the boundaries between heresy and faith, and attempts to transform the current ideological discourse. ~ This book will be of interest to students and scholars of the discourse between religion and security, political Islam, Islamic history, jihad, Middle Eastern studies, and South Asian studies.
Mulberry (Morus spp.) is widely distributed tree taxon found almost in every continent across the globe. Habitat of this plant species is very much diversified, as it is found across all climatic zones ranging from tropical, sub-tropical, temperate, tundra, semi-arid to desert (arid) conditions. It flourishes on all types of landforms; mountains, valleys, plateaus, forests, grasslands, hills, plains and arid lands. Successful utilization of mulberry leaf for silkworm rearing and production of quality cocoons has been studied at length. Now, mulberry is being recognized as a multipurpose plant by most of the countries across the globe. As mulberry is eco-friendly in nature, the propagation of mulberry needs to be done at large scale to address the ecological issues like conversion of arid lands to cultivable lands, eco-restoration of degraded lands, bioremediation of polluted land sites, conservation of water and soil, cleaning the air pollution in urban areas, utilization of mulberry in producing renewable energy in the form of biodiesel. Similarly, there is the need to produce the identified and highly commercially valued pharmaceutical compounds of mulberry under laboratory conditions through in vitro culture based secondary metabolite production through enhanced expression under the stress conditions or in presence of elicitors. Lately protocols have been developed for genetic transformation of mulberry through agrobacterium mediated and particle bombardment mediated gene transfer techniques. Biotechnology based molecular breeding techniques could also be utilized in raising the improved lines through marker assisted selection, soma clonal variations, mutational breeding, somatic hybridization, genome editing and other genetic engineering approaches. Apart from sericulture; mulberry should also be utilized and exploited in other sectors across the globe for additional revenue generation, for livestock maintenance, for environmental safety and in promoting human health. These diversified aspects of mulberry coupled with its economic importance in revenue generation through sericulture, animal husbandry and industrial products has prompted us to prepare this book. It will present a comprehensive account of mulberry plant under 9 chapter headings: introduction, botanical features, ecological features, ecophysiological aspects, interactions and development, molecular aspects, propagation and production, economic importance, and global perspectives as well as future approaches.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a silent killer that may go undetected for years. It is the leading cause of death at the same time cancer by itself is associated with coagulation disorders due to hypercoagulable state and can cause coronary thromboemboli. However, there is no definite evidence that cancer by itself predisposes to coronary atherosclerosis. Optimal management of cancer patients with such known risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) includes assessing risk of future cardiac events, particularly myocardial infarction (MI) and death. There is no single test that can diagnose or stratifies risk of having CAD. Myocardial perfusion imaging is the only non-invasive method of assessing myocardial perfusion. This project was undertaken at the Nuclear Medicine department Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research center, Pakistan, to see the utility of MP imaging in preoperative risk assessment in cancer patients who are undergoing major surgery.
This book outlines the foreign and security policy of the European Union as envisaged under the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). Since establishing the CFSP in the 1990s, the European Union (EU) has showed its enthusiasm for global leadership, empowering European citizenship, and developing its international standing as an economic and political supranational organization. In particular, the book examines the EU’s peacekeeping and conflict resolution dynamics in order to analyze the political and security dimensions of the EU. It argues that, due to the loose collective foreign policy and inter-bloc dilemmas, the EU has failed to perform as an actor of substance in international politics. However, at the regional level, the EU’s peacekeeping efforts have enjoyed considerable success. The book further explains the dynamics of successful (regional) and unsuccessful (extra-regional) peacekeeping and conflict resolution efforts on the part of the EU with the help of a case study. The case study assesses two key hypotheses: that the stronger an EU member state’s collective Europeanization approach is, the higher the success of the EU is in inter-bloc disputes; and that the weaker an EU member state’s execution of the CFSP on international disputes is, the less successful the EU is in the context of international peacekeeping.
Its both moving and wonderful. I enjoy it too much to put it down for long. I read through the entire work spellbound, reflecting on how rare it is to encounter reading material that both entertains and instructs. Despite its title, the book is more about life than about death. For sure, the book is filled with pearls of wisdom regarding the ultimate and final journey that we all take. But the informal and anecdotal nature of the story renders it just that: a story of how death should be viewed through the lens of life. Prof. Stephen Thomas

The Satanist is set in Nigeria, a place she remembers from her childhood.
One life is far too short for one to start learning from a scratch. In honing these stray thoughts, I have leaned heavily on others. Many of my ideas tallied with those of my associates; some wise, some scholarly. They have made such instant impact that I can no longer discern the origin or legacy of the thoughts. Our sentiments are alike, like in hospitals whose walls have heard more cordial prayers than in temples, synagogues, churches, and the mosques. Ours is a lineage where we share our callings. I trail a dynasty of writers particularly medical that have similar passions. Our thoughts, and the themes are alike; because the subject is common. I bask in the reflected glory of my predecessors who stand on the shoulders of their precursors. Our knowledge is concord.
Social Media and Democratization in Iraqi Kurdistan assesses the implications of social media usage for democratization in the context of Iraqi Kurdistan. A considerable number of studies examine the impact of social media on the practice of democracy in liberal democratic contexts and on the democratization process in nondemocratic contexts. However, little is known about the rise and implications of using the Internet and social media platforms for democratization processes in a hybrid political system, like that of Iraqi Kurdistan, which combines elements of both democracy and authoritarianism. The author investigates the use of social media platforms by citizens, politicians, electoral candidates, and political parties, and its significance for political participation and political communication, which are selected as important elements of democratization. Based on original qualitative research, including interviews with activists, politicians, and party leaders, and an analysis of relevant social media content in the Kurdish language, especially on the social media platform, Facebook, the author argues that rather than the increase in online political participation and political communication contributing to the consolidation of democracy in the Kurdish nascent democracy, it is increasing political polarization, exacerbating incivility of political discourse and enabling monitoring of opposition forces by the authorities.
