Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The management of acute and chronic kidney disease has undergone significant improvement over the last decade. This is a consequence of significant technological innovations and important findings provided by basic research. The use of molecular markers is increasingly enabling the prediction of clinical and therapeutic outcomes in various conditions. In kidney disease diagnosis and treatment, the use of Cystatin C helps us to overcome the limitations of other serum parameters, such as creatinine, which can mask the actual status of the pathological condition. Many authors have reported new insights in the literature about the role of Cystatin C, not only as a good predictor of chronic kidney disease, but also as a reliable parameter in the follow-up of subjects undergoing kidney transplant.Furthermore, in the fields of acute and chronic kidney disease, significant improvements in the therapeutic management of stones have been achieved. Specifically, surgical treatment has become even more minimally invasive, and the instruments available nowadays enable us to achieve a stone-free result in a higher percentage of patients in a shorter time with a lower incidence of complications. The book updates knowledge about these two important topics through the contributions of authors who are experts in the field. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Modern anthropology dates its origin to roughly a century ago, in the work of Boas and Malinowski, although its roots are much older. Since its founding as a distinct modern discipline, it has typically been identified as a four-field enterprise (cultural or social anthropology, biological or physical anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology), with, of course, many local and historical variations. Moreover, it has traditionally been associated with the study of traditional or tribal societies; however, since the 1960s and 1970s, it has undergone intense self-criticism and reinvention, including an expansion into contemporary subjects and global processes. The chapters in this volume generously reflect the current status of anthropology, featuring contributions on refugees, migration, nationalism, Islam, and the survival of indigenous peoples, as well as the archaeology of pre-modern belief systems. It also confronts many of the fields present-day disciplinary controversies, such as knowledge production in non-Western societies, the nature and future of ethnography and fieldwork, and the challenge and value of doing anthropology in a time of crisisespecially since the modern world seems to be in a constant state of crisis, altering the mission of anthropology but making it intensely more important.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. General relativity and quantum mechanics are the twin pillars of modern physics, yet their unification remains one of the deepest open problems in science. This volume explores the fertile territory where these frameworks meet, the semiclassical frontier, asking what can be reliably calculated when quantum fields propagate on curved spacetime and when gravity affects quantum systems.The contributions survey quantum field theory in curved spacetime, black hole thermodynamics, and the black hole information paradox, including recent work on entanglement islands and Page curves. They analyze gravitational phase shifts in matter-wave interferometry, quantum effects in realistic black hole environments, and the role of entropy and entanglement in semiclassical gravity. The book also reviews theoretical extensions such as extra-dimensional models of the hierarchy problem and supersymmetric systems that illuminate vacuum energy cancellations and the structure of quantum spectra.A recurring theme is that entropy and entanglement appear across seemingly disparate contexts, including Hawking radiation, quantum extremal surfaces, interferometry, and supersymmetric toy models, suggesting that these concepts lie at the heart of any future theory of quantum gravity. Throughout, the chapters emphasize explicit, worked calculations such as phase-shift formulas, entropy prescriptions, and partition functions that readers can follow, modify, and apply in their own research.Aimed at advanced students and researchers, this volume offers a rigorous, self-contained overview of current tools at the quantumgravity interface. It does not claim a final theory, but it does provide a clear map of the questions that can now be posed precisely, the methods available to address them, and the experimental and observational arenas, from atom interferometry to black hole imaging, where semiclassical ideas can be tested.
