Devyuddh - Mahasangram Gatha: देवयुद्ध - महासंग्राम गाथा
by Shivendra Suryavanshiजब ब्रह्मदेव ने महादेव से पृथ्वी का भविष्य जानने की इच्छा व्यक्त की, तो महादेव ने उन्हें क्षीरसागर में स्थित रुद्रासन के पास भेज दिया। ब्रह्मदेव जब रुद्रासन को ढूंढते हुए क्षीरसागर में पहुंचे, तो वहां उन्हें सप्तकणों से निर्मित सप्तपुस्तकें दिखाई दीं। उन सप्तपुस्तकों में अलग-अलग प्रकार से भविष्य को देखने की शक्तियां थीं। ब्रह्मदेव ने उन सप्तशक्तियों की सहायता से, पृथ्वी का भविष्य देखने की कामना व्यक्त की। परंतु पृथ्वी का भविष्य देखकर ब्रह्मदेव अत्यंत चिन्तित हो गये, क्योंकि पृथ्वी के भविष्य में एक देवयुद्ध छिपा था, जिसमें पृथ्वी का महाविनाश संलिप्त था। ब्रह्मदेव ने पृथ्वी को महाविनाश से बचाने के लिये, उन सभी सप्तपुस्तकों को पृथ्वी के 7 सबसे सुरक्षित स्थानों पर छिपा दिया। ब्रह्मदेव को विश्वास था कि जब भविष्य में ब्रह्मांड रक्षक इन पुस्तकों को प्राप्त कर लेंगे, तो देवयुद्ध से होने वाले महाविनाश को टाला जा सकेगा। इसके बाद शुरु हुई एक समयचक्र की एक ऐसी कथा श्रृंखला जिसमें देवता तो क्या ब्रह्मांड के कई ग्रह भी उलझ गए।

Evolution Seen from the Phase Diagram of Life (Evolutionary Studies)
by Shigeki Mitaku Ryusuke SawadaThis book aims to understand biological evolution through a physical approach, focusing on the macroscopic aspects of the biological genome. Readers will discover the connection between genomic information and the harmony of biological systems, a relationship that remains elusive to many researchers in biological sciences.The most common approach to understanding living organisms with physics is to begin with a single molecule of an organism. In contrast to this bottom-up approach, building from each molecule to the whole, this book takes a coarse-grained approach at the amino acid level to physically understand the macroscopic aspects of the organism. The book presents a system developed by the authors to predict membrane proteins with high accuracy using only physical parameters. Another distinctive perspective of this book is that it proposes the idea of a physical mechanism, other than natural selection, that orchestrates the emergence of order from random processes. The study of macroscopic aspects of living organisms based on this concept has parallels with thermostatistical mechanics for states of matter. Just as random processes create order in matter, there are physical random processes that form order in living organisms. This analogy is the central theme of the book.Using terms and analogies familiar to physicists, the book bridges the gap between biological and physical sciences. The book focuses on simple principles and is aimed primarily at researchers. While the content of this book is at the boundary area of biophysics, soft matter physics and bioinformatics, it will also be of interest to researchers and graduate students working on any biological topics.
Sex/Gender-Specific Medicine in Clinical Areas
by Nayoung KimSex/gender-specific medicine (SGM) is defined as the practice of medicine based on the understanding that biology and social roles are important in men and women for prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Current research demonstrates differences in disease incidence, symptomatology, morbidity, and mortality depending on sex and gender. Sex/gender-specific medicine is a fundamental aspect of tailored therapy and precision medicine. Therefore, the variables must be considered in medical education and practice as well as in research models ranging from human participants, animals and cells. This concept could be applied in the whole clinical areas from Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Gastroenterology, Cardiology, and Rehabilitation, etc. Nowadays estrogen is known to play a key role in the prevention of colon cancer and in the resistant progression of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, especially in women. This book covers the sex/gender-specific medicine in the whole clinical areas in the adults as well as in the pediatrics. In addition, research results of basic science are also introduced in the colon cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Plant Production for Sustainable Society as a Semi-closed Ecosystem
by Yoshiaki KitayaThis book introduces the concept of a semi-closed ecosystem, which is necessary for the social implementation of plant production, such as agriculture, in harmony with the environment. While aiming at achieving a sustainable balance of human activities and environmental protection, this book focuses on the material cycle within each semi-closed system listed below. 1) Mangrove forests as semi-closed systems in coastal ecosystems 2) Environmental control in facility-based plant production systems as semi-closed systems 3) Control of the gaseous environment in the root zone as a semi-closed system 4) Controlled ecological life support system as a completely closed ecosystem in space 5) A sustainable balance of human activities and environmental conservation in urban ecosystems. Developing efficient food production with less environmental loads is an important issue. Plant production is vital to human health and welfare, especially in urban areas as semi-closed ecosystems. Producing food efficiently under consideration of environmental protection is necessary with material-cycling systems, especially in semi-closed ecosystems. Establishing a resource recycling production system with reduced waste emissions has also become important in agriculture. Plant production will play an important role not only in food production (Goal 2 in SDGs) but also in many other goals. This book explains how we must regard plant production as semi-closed ecosystems, reduce material and energy resource inputs, and recycle waste emissions generated during production and consumption processes to solve the various issues. Students and researchers studying Agricultural Environmental Engineering, Environmental and Ecological Engineering, Systems Design for Sustainable Society, Environmental Control in Agriculture, etc., will find this publication a helpful reference.

Proceedings of the Third World Conference on Floating Solutions: WCFS 2023; 28–29 August, Tokyo, Japan (Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering #465)
by Chien Ming Wang Soon Heng Lim Tomoki Ikoma Shigeru TabetaThis book includes peer-reviewed articles from the Third World Conference on Floating Solutions WCFS 2023 Japan with an aim to pioneer the SDGs and Next SDGs by making the most use of oceans and water. In recent years, the safety and security of people's lives around the world have been threatened by frequent floods and rising sea levels attributable to climate change. The COP 26 has set a common global goal of limiting the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. It is an urgent task to cope with climate change as well as to utilize decarbonized and renewable energy. The UN is promoting the SDGs which aim to achieve 17 Goals between 2015 and 2030. However, efforts to reach the Goals will not end in 2030 but will be an ongoing challenge for humanity beyond 2030. Here, we tentatively call the Goals to be achieved after the SDGs as "Next SDGs." Ocean and water have the potential to provide solutions to the disasters such as flooding and sea level rise due to climate change. In this context, WCFS 2023 presents ocean and water as the urban infrastructure and explores new technology and feasible solutions. In particular, it is necessary to consider urban planning, marine architecture, port planning connecting land and sea, disaster prevention, renewable energy, and food production on the sea and water. Further, it is indispensable that knowledge, experience, dream, and strong desire to realize these challenges are supported by a diversity of people.
