If you want to understand the past and current epidemics history, then keep reading.
What is the most suitable prevention method to repel COVID-19 because, at the time of writing, world research has not yet developed an effective cure or vaccine (April 2020)?
Do you think you know everything about microbes (viruses, bacteria, protozoa, unicellular algae, fungi ...) that we can find in the air, on our hands, and in many other places?
Do you know that prevention is the best way to fight viruses?
By learning their habits, their transmission modes, their differences, and others, you will be able to fight more effectively against these microorganisms.
The word microbe means 'petite vie' (little life). It was invented by the surgeon Charles-Emmanuel S dillot (French) in 1878, and this word means all the microorganisms that we can only see under the microscope.
The history of humanity is interspersed with the virus.
Millions of persons died in various epidemics. (HIV, H1N1, SRAS, EBOLA, CORONAVIRUS...)
In this book, you will learn:
- The history of the greatest plagues that are epidemics and pandemics (world epidemic) occurred on our earth from the year 1900.
- Understand the differences between microorganisms
- The story and the evolution of the current pandemic (coronavirus)
- Prevention and treatment of COVID-19
- Create hydroalcoholic gel yourself
- And many other things
The only way to protect yourself is prevention
Even if you know a lot about these "petite vie" (microbes), this book will help you to improve your knowledge and understand that prevention is your biggest ally against coronavirus.
Bonus: several recipes for making hydroalcoholic gel at home
Описание: A provocative theoretical synthesis by renowned folklorist and anthropologist Charles L. Briggs, Unlearning questions intellectual foundations and charts new paths forward. Briggs argues, through an expansive look back at his own influential works as well as critical readings of the field, that scholars can disrupt existing social and discourse theories across disciplines when they collaborate with theorists whose insights are not constrained by the bounds of scholarship. Eschewing narrow Eurocentric modes of explanation and research foci, Briggs brings together colonialism, health, media, and psychoanalysis to rethink classic work on poetics and performance that revolutionized linguistic anthropology, folkloristics, media studies, communication, and other fields. Beginning with a candid memoir that credits the mentors whose disconcerting insights prompted him to upend existing scholarly approaches, Briggs combines his childhood experiences in New Mexico with his work in graduate school, his ethnography in Venezuela working with Indigenous peoples, and his contemporary work--which is heavily weighted in medical folklore. Unlearning offers students, emerging scholars, and veteran researchers alike a guide for turning ethnographic objects into provocations for transforming time-worn theories and objects of analysis into sources of scholarly creativity, deep personal engagement, and efforts to confront unconscionable racial inequities. It will be of significant interest to folklorists, anthropologists, and social theorists and will stimulate conversations across these disciplines.
Описание: Showcasing internationally sourced case studies on disaster management, International Case Studies in the Management of Disasters presents a diverse range of case studies on how disasters, both natural and manmade, are being managed globally.
This volume is an important contribution to our understanding of global pandemics in general and Covid-19 in particular. It brings together the reflections of leading social and political scientists who are interested in the implications and significance of the current crisis for politics and society.
The chapters provide both analysis of the social and political dimensions of the Coronavirus pandemic and historical contextualization as well as perspectives beyond the crisis. The volume seeks to focus on Covid-19 not simply as the terrain of epidemiology or public health, but as raising fundamental questions about the nature of social, economic and political processes. The problems of contemporary societies have become intensified as a result of the pandemic. Understanding the pandemic is as much a sociological question as it is a biological one, since viral infections are transmitted through social interaction. In many ways, the pandemic poses fundamental existential as well as political questions about social life as well as exposing many of the inequalities in contemporary societies. As the chapters in this volume show, epidemiological issues and sociological problems are elucidated in many ways around the themes of power, politics, security, suffering, equality and justice.
This is a cutting edge and accessible volume on the Covid-19 pandemic with chapters on topics such as the nature and limits of expertise, democratization, emergency government, digitalization, social justice, globalization, capitalist crisis, and the ecological crisis.

Описание: THE SERIES: INTELLIGENT BIOMEDICAL DATA ANALYSIS By focusing on the methods and tools for intelligent data analysis, this series aims to narrow the increasing gap between data gathering and data comprehension. Emphasis is also given to the problems resulting from automated data collection in modern hospitals, such as analysis of computer-based patient records, data warehousing tools, intelligent alarming, effective and efficient monitoring. In medicine, overcoming this gap is crucial since medical decision making needs to be supported by arguments based on existing medical knowledge as well as information, regularities and trends extracted from big data sets.
