Contemporary Asian Popular Culture Vol. 2: Cultural Dynamics and Global Impact
by Karen A. Ritzenhoff Yeojin Kim Dharshani Lakmali Jayasinghe Hiba AleemThis second of two volumes explores broader cultural, economic, and socio-political dynamics exchanged between Asian popular media and the world. The authors analyze how the said media navigate complex global markets and technological advancements. They discuss how dissemination and consumption of Asian popular culture, such as early Chinese-language movie theaters, Netflix, subtitling of Asian content, impact the popularity of cultural contents. They also examine the portrayal of ajummas (middle-aged women) in Korean TV and film, along with the varying representations of utopia and dystopia embedded in Asian science fiction. This volume illustrates the soft power of media in transnational exchanges.

Common Prosperity: A Chinese Approach to Inclusive Growth (IPP Studies in the Frontiers of China’s Public Policy)
by Yongnian ZhengThis book offers an in-depth analysis of China’s drive for common prosperity from an insider’s perspective. While philosophers and economists have long debated issues of inequality and growth, and societies have evolved from industrial to post-industrial information economies, challenges related to poverty and inequality persist. Major European nations have transitioned from early capitalist societies to modern welfare states, yet similar issues remain unresolved. Professor Zheng Yongnian provides a unique insight into China’s approach to addressing these challenges through the lens of common prosperity. Drawing on newly published materials and empirical research, this book contrasts China's development model with Western welfare states, elucidating both the rationale behind and the implications of these differences. This translated version of Professor Zheng’s recent work, 共同富裕的中国方案 (originally published in Chinese), is an essential read for scholars and policymakers seeking to understand China’s strategy for achieving common prosperity.

Landschaftsökologie: Von der Wissenschaft in die Praxis
by Ulrich Walz Uta SteinhardtLandschaft ist ein wichtiger Schlüssel zur Nachhaltigkeit. Aktuelle Krisen wie der Biodiversitätsverlust und der Klimawandel verlangen nach integrativen Betrachtungsweisen und Lösungsansätzen zu unserem Umgang mit Landschaft, den wir grundlegend ändern müssen. Landschaftsökologie will genau das: fach- und sektorübergreifend analysieren und Lösungen aufzeigen. „Der Blick auf’s Ganze“, auf Landschaft, die mehr ist als die Summe ihrer Teile, zeichnet die landschaftsökologische Arbeitsweise aus. Darum geht es auch in diesem Buch: natur-, sozial- und kulturwissenschaftliche sowie planerische Sichtweisen auf die Probleme unserer Zeit aufzuzeigen und zu verbinden. Landschaftsökologischen Institutionen aus Deutschland geben Einblicke in die aktuell von ihnen bearbeiteten Themen und zeigen so die Leistungsfähigkeit des Faches insgesamt auf. Ziel des Werkes ist es, die aktuelle Bandbreite landschaftsökologischer Forschung anhand zahlreicher Beispiele zu verdeutlichen und dieFachkolleg_innen und Studierende der Landschaftsökologie und verwandter Fächer wie Geographie, Umweltwissenschaften, Biologie, Ökologie, etc. zu erreichen.
Natural Products for Antibacterial Drug Development: Recent Advancement of Computational Approach
by Tripti Sharma Chita Ranjan Sahoo Debdutta Bhattacharya Sanghamitra PatiThe book focuses on the rampant use of higher-dose antibiotics in human routine consumption and how it leads to bacterial resistance to multiple drugs. Book chapters focus on the result of their overuses and concomitant misuses, and how antibiotics have become synonymous with the unending hellish experience that is antimicrobial resistance by pathogenic microbes. It also talks about the challenges associated with the treatment of bacterial infections and challenges to mankind due to the development of high rates of antibiotic resistance. This book also provides information about developments of antibacterial drugs from natural sources. In addition, it also covers different computational approaches used for antibacterial drug development from natural sources in recent times. Finally, the book also elucidates a detailed outline of bacterial resistance status, current treatment methods, natural products as an opportunity for the development of potent druggable candidates, and methods of antibacterial drug development. This book serves as a great resource for students, researchers, and academicians in the field of pharmacology.
