Overview: This volume provides a state-of-the-art account of recent advances in retinoid research with major emphasis on metabolism, actions and pharmacologic aspectsIn the future‘ the decade of the 1990s will likely be viewed as a Golden Age for retinoid research. There have been unprecedented research gains in the understanding of retinoid actions and physiology; since the retinoid nuclear receptors were first identified and the importance of retinoic acid in develop­ mental processes was first broadly recognized in the late 1980s. Between then and now, our knowledge of retinoid action has e

Overview: For centuries it has been recognized that plants relate to human health and well-being in many ways beyond their fundamental role as primary sources of food and energy. Many of the unique plant constituents have pronounced effects on animal systems or in the human body; some of them are potentially harmful and represent a risk in the use of a parttcular plant or in the exposure to it, others are useful as medicinal agents in the treatment of diseases. Many of the latter are extracted from plant materials on a large scale for marketing as drugs and even more of them have served as str

Overview: Vom Verband zum UnternehmenDie Träger der Freien Wohlfahrtspflege gehören mittlerweile zu den beschäftigungsstärksten Organisationen in Deutschland. Während industrielle Organisationen unter wissenschaftlicher Dauerbeobachtung stehen, vollzieht sich der organisatorische Wandel der Wohlfahrt vom Verband zum Unternehmen weitestgehend ohne kritisch begleitende Forschung. Die vorliegende interdisziplinäre Studie untersucht, wie sich der Reorganisationsprozess eines bedeutenden Trägers der Freien Wohlfahrtspflege auf das Produktions- und Geschlechterverhältnis der Sozialen Arbeit auswirkt

Overview: Comprehensive overview of the international legal regime governing different aspects of trans boundary hazardous waste movements.Examines the international responsibility of States as well as civil li.The term “hazardous wastes” covers a wide range of disused products and production wastes generated not only in industrial sectors, but also in all areas of everyday life. Hazardous wastes are to a large extent shipped by sea to third countries for recycling or disposal. While the procedural requirements for such movements are laid out in the 1989 Basel Convention, explicit rules of res
