Nanoethics and Nanotoxicology
Author: Philippe Houdy
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642201776
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
Nanobiotechnology is a fast developing field of research and application in many domains such as in medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics and agro-industry. The book addresses the lastest fundamental results on nanotoxicology and nanoethics, and the enormous range of potential applications in the fields of medical diagnostics, nanomedicine, and food and water administration. Nanoscale objects have properties leading to specific kinds of behaviour, sometimes exacerbating their chemical reactivity, physical behaviour, or potential to penetrate deeply within living organisms. Hence it is important to ensure the responsible and safe development of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies. This fourth volume in the Nanoscience series should make its mark, by presenting the state of the art in the fields of nanotoxicology and nanoethics. This is the first book to combine both scientific knowledge and ethical and social recommendations. It also presents specific policies on nanotechnologies set up by national and international authorities. This book is of interest to engineers, researchers, and graduate students.

Emerging Risks
Author: Anne Barr
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317144767
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
For boards and executives, high-quality and transparent information is critical to allow effective decision-making. Emerging risks are increasingly challenging issues, both in terms of threats and growth opportunities; not least since the science pertaining to these risks tends to be contested. Emerging Risks: A Strategic Management Guide restores the constructive dialogue between the business professional and the expert/scientist community, essential if companies are to anticipate, plan ahead and exploit leading-edge ideas. It provides insights into some of the major emerging risks of the 21st century and then guides organizations on how to approach and manage those risks proactively in the wake of new regulation, governance and enterprise-wide risk management. The topics covered include: nanotechnologies, covering the industrial revolution of the 21st Century; new information and communication technologies (NICT), discussing the infrastructure of the future; electromagnetic fields (EMF) and their debated health impact; chemical substances/REACH, a regulation with major economic and environmental stakes and an example of emerging risk management; biological risk and its on-going need for international surveillance; supply chain, a top management priority; and country risk, for which security and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are growing issues. The authors assess and propose a process for managing emerging risks and the strategies that need to be put in place, drawing on examples of best practice.

WHO Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations
Author: World Health Organization
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9241209488
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
The Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations works towards standards and guidelines for medicines' quality assurance. The forty-second meeting adopted 11 new monographs for inclusion in The International Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Int.) and seven related new International Chemical Reference Standards (ICRS). The specifications currently developed are internationally applicable test methodologies for antimalarial, antituberculosis, antiretroviral and specifically also medicines for children. The main principles for selection of INNs for biologicals were endorsed. In order to serve the WHO-managed Prequalification Program, two new procedures were adopted, namely on prequalification of intrauterine devices (IUDs) and of male latex condoms, together with a new guidance on the assessment of active pharmaceutical ingredients for use in medicines.--Publisher's description.

African Yearbook of International Law/Annuaire Africain De Droit International
Author: Abdulqawi A. Yusuf
Publisher: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers
ISBN: 9789041104717
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
The "African Yearbook of International Law" provides an intellectual forum for the systematic analysis and scientific dissection of issues of international law as they apply to Africa, as well as Africa's contribution to the progressive development of international law. It contributes to the promotion, acceptance of and respect for the principles of international law, as well as to the encouragement of the teaching, study, dissemination and wider appreciations of international law in Africa. A clear articulation of Africa's views on the various aspects of international law based on the present realities of the continent as well as on Africa's civilization, culture, philosophy and history will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding among nations. The "African Yearbook of International Law" plays an important role in examining the tensions underlying the State in Africa, and by shedding more light on the causes of the fragility of African State institutions so as to facilitate the identification of appropriate remedies. The tension and interrelationships among issues such as territorial integrity, self determination, ethnic diversity and nation-building are constantly addressed. Development, human rights and democratization in Africa are also the subject of continuous attention and examination. The Special Theme of this volume is: "Civil Conflicts in Africa (Part" "I)/ Les conflits internes en Afrique (1ere partie),"
