Navigating through Technology in Modern Education

Abdul-Mumin Khalid, Obeng Owusu-Boateng

Summary

Advances in technology have enabled medicinal chemists to discover and formulate several highly specific, biocompatible, and non-toxic therapeutic agents for clinical applications. Nanotechnology has achieved significant progress in the last few decades and is crucial in every field of science and technology. Nanotechnology-based pharmaceuticals offer multifaceted and alternative methodologies in comparison to the limitations of many conventional clinical therapies. Expertise in designing and developing nanoformulations has helped in targeted drug delivery. Recently, the use of innovative therapeutic agents, particularly in nanomedicine, has accounted for a significant portion of the global pharmaceutical market and is predicted to continue to grow rapidly in the near future. Nanotherapeutic Strategies and New Pharmaceuticals is an accessible multi-part reference which informs the reader about several new techniques based on nanotechnology. The chapters explain relevant topics in detail. The book is designed to encourage and help undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students in the field of nanotherapeutics, pharmaceuticals and bio-organic chemistry through the use of didactic language and simple illustrations. Part 2 of this book covers the potential of nanotherapeutics and natural therapies for treating neurological diseases, targeting ion channels, signal transduction therapy, gene therapy of single gene mutation diseases and for nanoformulations for special purposes such as wound healing and stimuli-responsive drug delivery. The book also features a chapter that summarizes the types of nanoparticles tailored for specific molecular targets that mediate different diseases. The book set serves as a textbook for students in pharmacology and medical biochemistry, as well as a quick reference for researchers on bio-organic chemistry, as well as general readers interested in nanomedicine

Urban Economics - Understanding...

Lyric Vale

Urban economics is the study of how economic forces shape the development, growth, and functioning of cities. In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, understanding the dynamics of urban areas is crucial for policymakers, businesses, and residents alike. Cities are the engines of economic activity, often driving national economies through industrialization, technological advancement, and labor market opportunities. The field of urban economics provides a framework for analyzing the complex interactions between land use, housing markets, transportation, and labor, all of which influence the growth and prosperity of cities.
One of the core ideas of urban economics is the concept of agglomeration, which refers to the concentration of people and businesses in a specific area to take advantage of economies of scale, reduced transportation costs, and access to a skilled workforce. This concentration leads to the formation of cities as hubs of economic activity, where services, manufacturing, and innovation thrive. However, agglomeration also brings challenges, such as congestion, pollution, and rising living costs. Urban economists seek to understand these trade-offs and develop policies that can foster economic growth while addressing the negative externalities associated with urbanization.
Another fundamental aspect of urban economics is the relationship between urban form and economic performance. Cities are not static entities; they evolve over time as they expand, change in function, and adapt to shifting economic realities. The spatial structure of a city—how land is used, where different activities are located, and the connectivity between various areas—can significantly impact its economic performance. Urban economics explores how factors like zoning laws, infrastructure, and transportation systems influence a city’s efficiency, livability, and overall success.

Policy Making - A Comprehensive...

Kevin Thorley

Policy making is a crucial aspect of governance that directly influences the well-being of citizens and the development of a nation. It is designed to promote the general welfare of the population, addressing issues such as health, education, and public safety to ensure that the needs of citizens are met. Economic policies play a significant role in managing the economy by promoting growth, reducing unemployment, and controlling inflation, which leads to a more stable and prosperous society. 
  
Moreover, policy making is essential for reducing social inequalities by providing support to disadvantaged groups through measures related to housing, social security, and anti-discrimination. Environmental policies are also vital for the sustainable management of natural resources and the protection of ecosystems, addressing issues such as climate change, pollution, and conservation. In terms of national security, policies related to defense, immigration, and foreign relations are critical for maintaining security and protecting the country from external threats. 
  
Policy making also encourages innovation and progress by funding research and development, supporting new technologies, and creating a favorable environment for entrepreneurship. It provides a framework for regulation and oversight, ensuring that industries operate fairly and safely, covering areas such as financial regulations, consumer protection laws, and labor standards. Additionally, the policy-making process allows for public participation and democratic governance, giving citizens a voice in how they are governed and ensuring their interests are represented.
