The Childhood Obesity Epidemic Why Are Our Children Obese—And What Can We Do About It?

The Childhood Obesity Epidemic Why Are Our Children Obese—And What Can We Do About It?

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Child obesity is a serious condition that affects children around the world in growing numbers. With obesity comes an increased risk of other chronic diseases as well making it even more important to understand and treat this condition from a variety of angles. This current volume seeks to understand the phenomenon of child obesity and presents a range of viewpoints on its prevalence causes and treatments. The different sections contained within explore the following topics: • The worldwide prevalence of childhood obesity and its growing effect on children• The causes of childhood obesity and the complex interactions of genetic environmental social and medical factors that contribute to its development• Proposed treatments some intervention-based and others that aim to change how food is marketed and sold to youthThis reference volume offers a comprehensive and thorough guide to a field that is rapidly expanding and points to new directions in research and public policy. Edited by a doctor with extensive experience as a researcher writer and medical practitioner The Childhood Obesity Epidemic is an authoritative and easy-to-use reference that provides resources for researchers in the field students and anyone who wishes to gain an overview to this important field of study. | The Childhood Obesity Epidemic Why Are Our Children Obese—And What Can We Do About It?

Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. Two trends come together in the world’s cities to make urban sustainability a critical issue today. First greater and greater numbers of people are living in urban areas—and are projected to do so for the foreseeable future. Additionally cities contribute to climate change in a significant way and must make systemic changes to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects. Urban planners face serious challenges in enhancing sustainability but also have an important set of tools available for creating innovative solutions. This book adds to the conversation about the place of urban planning in the creation and maintenance of sustainable cities. | Sustainable Cities Urban Planning Challenges and Policy

Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture Processes Strategies Innovations

Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture Processes Strategies Innovations

Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture: Processes Strategies Innovations focuses on new production alternatives that do not include pesticides herbicides or chemicals for primary food production and instead rely on biologically controlled systems of production. The book also relates a number of advances and innovations in the use of agricultural technologies that employ the study of the physiology of plants to know their resistance to different environments in modern agriculture. The book presents research offering viable alternatives for the control of pests for safe food production that are environmentally friendly and that facilitate the reduction of production costs and improve the quality and yield of produce. The volume addresses innovative biocontrol systems to reduce or eliminate the use of agrochemicals by controlling plant diseases by minimizing environmental damage through the use of antagonistic organisms. It also presents new strategies of cultivation that maximize production by optimizing light temperature humidity nutrients and humidity in a controlled environment. The diverse topics in the volume include botanical compounds as adjuvants as an alternative to reduce the pesticide use on-site production of bio-control agents plant factory systems that offer controlled safe environments for plant cultivation promising bio-nematicides for sustainable agriculture wastewater reclamation for agricultural purposes the recovery of phytochemicals from plants using LED lights on plants and microgreens production and much more. Covering the new trends in biological control plant factories and plant metabolism for application in modern agriculture this volume provides important research and knowledge that facilitates environmentally friendly plant systems advances the reduction of production costs and improves the quality and yield of produce. | Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture Processes Strategies Innovations

Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography

Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography

Written for sleep technologists Clinical Atlas of Polysomnography provides basic information regarding normal sleep sleep disorders and electrophysiology that is outside of the scope of the AASM manual (AASM Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events). It aims to act as a guide through the fundamental aspects of for example types of overnight sleep study establishing a sleep laboratory preparing the patient for a sleep evaluation study placement of electrodes and leads and the scientific aspects of such placement i. e. why they are placed at that particular position. This information will be very useful in those parts of the globe where formal training in sleep technology is not yet available. Many further chapters focus on depicting real-time illustrations of sleep data as captured in the sleep laboratory and the scoring of recording data. Information regarding common montages artifacts and troubleshooting in the sleep laboratory will facilitate the reader’s journey as a trainee sleep technologist. While scoring sleep recordings the When you score the data histogram can provide a great deal of useful information and this has been explained in detail in this book. Most importantly it is prudent to be able to write reports that are both informative and easy to understand by physicians who do not have advanced knowledge of sleep medicine. A chapter has been dedicated to explaining this in detail. Lastly the authors have provided ready-made forms questionnaires and documents that can either be used as they are or with some modifications. This up-to-date and comprehensive volume will be an invaluable guide for technicians and physicians who wish to practice sleep medicine and will be useful for sleep technology and physician training programs. The volume is intended to complement not be a substitute for the AASM scoring manual as many areas that are covered in the manual are not covered here.
