Summary

Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health crisis threatening our ability to treat common infections. Antibiotic Resistance Threat explores the origins, mechanisms, and impact of resistant bacteria, highlighting the urgent need for action. A key insight is how bacteria develop resistance through genetic mutations, enabling them to evade the effects of antibiotics. Factors such as antibiotic overuse in both human medicine and agriculture significantly accelerate the spread of these resistant strains, leading to increased healthcare costs and potentially untreatable infections.

 
The book adopts a comprehensive approach, beginning with the history of antibiotics and basic microbiology. It then delves into the mechanisms of resistance and the epidemiology of resistant infections, examining their prevalence in different regions. A significant portion is dedicated to analyzing potential solutions, like antibiotic stewardship programs, and the development of novel therapies.

 
This evidence-based analysis, drawing from medical research and public health data, separates facts from speculation, providing actionable recommendations for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and concerned citizens.

    Home remedies have been passed down through generations, often whispered from grandmothers to grandchildren as the ultimate cure for everything from the common cold to stubborn skin conditions. Some people swear by them, while others scoff at the idea that a spoonful of honey or a splash of apple cider vinegar could rival modern medicine. But what if the truth about home remedies is more complex than we’ve been led to believe?  
      
    In a world where pharmaceutical drugs dominate the healthcare industry, home remedies often get dismissed as nothing more than old wives’ tales. Yet, countless individuals rely on them for relief, claiming miraculous results with simple household ingredients. The question remains: do they really work, or is it all just placebo and wishful thinking?  
      
    Surprisingly, many traditional remedies have a scientific basis, backed by research that confirms their effectiveness. Honey, for example, has been shown to have antibacterial properties, while ginger can help with nausea and inflammation. However, not all home remedies are as safe or effective as they seem. Some can cause unexpected side effects, interact poorly with medications, or even be downright dangerous. The internet has only made matters worse, spreading misinformation and exaggerated claims about what natural ingredients can do.

    A clear, concise primer on the GDPRThe GDPR aims to unify data protection and ease the flow of personal data across the EU. It applies to every organisation in the world that handles EU residents' personal data.While the GDPR is not law in countries outside the EU, it is effectively part of the legislative environment for organisations that do business with the EU. This is enforced through a combination of international trade law and business pressure – after all, a partner in the EU is unlikely to want to risk engaging with a company in the US, Australia or Singapore (or anywhere else) that will put them at risk.EU GDPR – An international guide to compliance is the ideal resource for anyone wanting a clear primer on the principles of data protection and their obligations under the GDPR.A concise pocket guide, it will help you understand:- The terms and definitions used in the GDPR, including explanations;- The key requirements of the GDPR, including:- Which fines apply to which Articles;- The principles that should be applied to any collection and processing of personal data;- The Regulation's applicability;- Data subjects' rights;- Data protection impact assessments;- The data protection officer role and whether you need one;- Data breaches, and notifying supervisory authorities and data subjects; and- Obligations for international data transfers.- How to comply with the Regulation, including:- Understanding your data, and where and how it is used (e.g. Cloud suppliers, physical records);- The documentation you must maintain (such as statements of the information you collect and process, records of data subject consent, processes for protecting personal data); and- The "appropriate technical and organisational measures" you need to take to ensure compliance with the Regulation.- A full index of the Regulation, enabling you to find relevant Articles quickly and easily.Supplemental material While most of the EU GDPR's requirements are broadly unchanged in the UK GDPR, the context is quite different and will have knock-on effects. You may need to update contracts regarding EU–UK data transfers, incorporate standard contractual clauses into existing agreements, and update your policies, processes and procedural documentation as a result of these changes.  We have published a supplement that sets out specific extra or amended information for this pocket guide. Click here to download the supplement. About the authorAlan Calder is the Group CEO of GRC International Group plc, the AIM-listed company that owns IT Governance Ltd.

    Appointments to the United States Supreme Court are now central events in American political life. However, this has not always been the case. As late as the middle of the twentieth century, presidents invested little time and effort in finding and vetting nominees. Media coverage was desultory, public opinion was largely non-existent, and the justices often voted independently and erratically. 
     
     
     
    In Making the Supreme Court, Charles M. Cameron and Jonathan P. Kastellec show how the growth of federal judicial power from the 1930s onward inspired a multitude of groups struggling to shape judicial policy. Over time, some groups moved beyond lobbying the Court to changing who sits on it. Other groups formed expressly to influence appointments. These activists and organized groups penetrated the national party system so that after about 1980, presidential candidates increasingly pledged to select and confirm nominees who conformed to specific policy and ideological litmus tests. Once in office, these presidents reshaped the executive selection system to deliver on their promises. As Cameron and Kastellec argue, the result is a new politics aimed squarely at selecting and placing judicial ideologues on the Court. They make the case that this new model gradually transformed how the Court itself operates, turning it into an ideologically driven and polarized branch.
