  This book consists of two titles, which are: 
  1 - International Law: International law is a complex system that governs relations between states and other international actors. It derives from several key sources, with treaties, customary international law, and general principles of law being the primary ones. Here's an overview of these sources: 
    
  Treaties are formal agreements between states or international organizations. They are the most explicit source of international law and are binding on the parties that have ratified them. Treaties can be bilateral (between two parties) or multilateral (involving multiple parties). Examples include the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and various human rights treaties. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties governs how treaties are made, interpreted, and terminated. 
  2 - Criminal Justice: The key processes in the criminal justice system are investigation, arrest, prosecution, pretrial, trial, sentencing, corrections, and reentry. Investigation involves law enforcement investigating a crime, gathering evidence, and identifying suspects. Arrest involves taking suspects into custody based on probable cause. Prosecution involves prosecutors reviewing evidence, deciding on charges, and filing them in court. Pretrial includes bail hearings, plea bargaining, and preliminary hearings. Trial is a court proceeding to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused, including opening statements, witness testimonies, and closing arguments. Sentencing involves a judge determining the sentence for a convicted offender. Corrections involve offenders serving their sentences in correctional facilities or through community-based programs. Reentry involves programs to help former inmates reintegrate into society, aiming to reduce recidivism.

  Allergology - Allergies and...

  Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless to most people. These substances, known as allergens, can include food, pollen, dust, pet dander, insect venom, and certain medications. When an allergic individual comes into contact with an allergen, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as a threat and triggers a defensive response. This response can range from mild symptoms, such as sneezing or a skin rash, to severe and potentially life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis.  
  The immune system plays a central role in allergic reactions. Normally, it defends the body against harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. However, in individuals with allergies, the immune system misidentifies allergens as dangerous invaders. The primary component involved in allergic reactions is Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a type of antibody that binds to specific allergens. This binding signals immune cells, such as mast cells and basophils, to release histamine and other inflammatory chemicals, leading to symptoms like swelling, redness, itching, and respiratory distress. 
  Allergic reactions are classified into different types based on the mechanism and timing of the immune response. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions occur within minutes of allergen exposure and are mediated by IgE. These reactions include hay fever, asthma attacks, and food allergies. Delayed hypersensitivity reactions, on the other hand, take several hours or even days to develop and involve different immune pathways, such as T-cell activation. Contact dermatitis, a reaction to certain chemicals or metals, is an example of a delayed allergic response.
