Toward a cure - Advancing HIV/AIDs treatment modalities beyond antiretroviral therapy
The human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a significant danger to global public health. HIV/AIDS remains a significant concern despite substantial progress in our understanding of the virus and the development of effective treatment protocols. This is particularly applicable in low- and middle-income nations where access to healthcare may be limited. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) plays an important role in the management of HIV/AIDS, having revolutionized patient care and significantly enhanced outcomes. Although ART has transformed HIV from a terminal condition to a manageable chronic illness, it does not constitute a cure. ART has some problems, like the development of drug-resistant strains, side effects, and difficulty in accessing in places with few resources. This shows how important it is to come up with new ways to treat HIV. Viral reservoirs, drug resistance, and the necessity for lifelong medication adherence are cited as reasons that new treatment options must be implemented without delay. In light of these challenges, it is imperative to investigate novel treatment modalities that could facilitate long-term viral control, reduce reliance on lifelong medication, and ultimately lead to an HIV cure. This book aims to explore the current frontiers of HIV/AIDS research and identify promising avenues that may lead to a cure. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted, focusing on reputable databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and others. A comprehensive literature review identified many therapeutic modalities, such as stem cell transplantation, immunotherapy, gene therapy, latency reversal agents (LRAs), and pharmacological vaccines. This article aims to elucidate the evolving landscape of HIV/AIDS management by combining contemporary research findings and addressing the complexities inherent in HIV/AIDS treatment. By acquiring a comprehensive awareness of existing challenges and opportunities, we can avoid them and adopt a more effective and sustainable strategy for addressing this ongoing global health crisis.
New Insights Into the Crosstalk Between Cancer Cells and Tumor Microenvironment
This book focuses on the crosstalk between tumor cells and stromal cells, immune cells and even extracellular matrix in the tumor microenvironment with the mainly aim to reveal the motivation of cancer cell malignancy, which may provide some guiding ideas for anti-tumor therapy. The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), a complex structure containing various immune cells surrounding tumor cells, plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and represents a key area for activated immunotherapy, while conditions like anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-both aggressive cancers with poor prognoses and limited late-stage treatments-highlight the challenges posed by factors such as bile acids, which may act as potential carcinogens despite their role in lipid digestion and absorption.
RNA Editing
Currently an EMBL-Marie Curie Fellow at the European Bioinformatics Institute, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL-EBI) in Cambridgeshire, UK, a biochemist with extensive research experience in RNA biology across multiple global institutions. His work focuses on RNA-binding proteins in the contexts of signalling, translation control, and gene expression regulation, utilising proteomics, proteogenomics, and interactome analysis to explore mechanisms relevant to both health and disease. RBPs, as highlighted in the manuscript, occupy a crucial position in the intricate network of gene expression regulation. Through their dynamic interactions with RNA molecules, RBPs play essential roles in diverse cellular processes, including mRNA splicing, transport, stability, and translation. Dysregulation of RBPs has been implicated in various diseases, ranging from cancer to neurodegenerative disorders, underscoring their significance in maintaining cellular homeostasis. The book delves into recent evidence suggesting that RBPs are not only targets of post-transcriptional RNA editing but also actively participate in the editing process. Specifically, the book explores the prevalence of A-to-I RNA editing events within transcripts encoding RBPs, mediated by double-stranded RNA-binding proteins (dsRBPs) with Adenosine Deaminase Acting on double-stranded (ds)RNA (ADAR) enzymatic activity. This observation challenges conventional notions of RNA editing primarily occurring in non-coding regions and underscores the importance of considering coding region editing events in the context of RBPs. Functional consequences of RNA editing on RBPs are described, including alterations in protein isoforms, amino acid sequence modifications, and changes in protein-protein interactions. A comprehensive analysis of high-throughput datasets and a prototype proteogenomic approach, provide insights into the impact of RNA editing on the recoded proteome and its implications in potential disease development. Of particular interest are the identification of disease-associated RNA editing events within transcripts encoding RBPs, highlighting the potential role of RNA.
Uncertainty in Climate Change Research
This edited volume with open access discusses all aspects of uncertainty in climate change research, with a unique emphasis on decision making under uncertainty and the assessment of various uncertainties in the landscape of decision making. By analyzing uncertainty through the lens of decision making, the book seeks to understand and assess the various uncertainties inherent in climate change research, including uncertainties in economic impacts, human health and vulnerability, fluctuations in the physical climate system, changes in infrastructure, and future climate projections. Very little published material exists on the uncertainties regarding vulnerability of different populations to climate change, and so the book characterizes the uncertainty in vulnerability to better formulate solutions to climate change problems in affected populations. The volume will be of interest to students, post-docs, early career scientists, and researchers interested in all aspects of climate change. After an introduction that addresses the issue of uncertainty in general as it pertains to climate change research, the book is divided into 5 main sections. Section 1 focuses on uncertainty in policy and decision making, and how climate-related policy choices impact risk management, impact mitigation, and adaptation. Section 2 discusses uncertainty in climate change impacts, including impacts in agriculture, water resources, transportation infrastructure, and human health and vulnerability. Section 3 analyzes physical climate uncertainties, such as Earth system projections, emissions concentrations, and sea-level rise projections. Section 4 details the methods for quantifying uncertainty from a statistical perspective. Section 5 concludes the volume with discussions on special topics and integrated themes on uncertainty, including ethics and uncertainty, communication, the economics of climate change, and integrated modeling for decision support.

Territorial Landscapes Solutions for Sustainable Energy and Food Security
Plant-Microbe Interactions for Environmental and Agricultural Sustainability
This book provides an understanding of the intricate structure of the plant-microbe interface for increasing plant performance in an environmentally sustainable way. Plant microbiomes, often known as the bacteria associated with plants such as rhizospheric, phyllosphere, and entophytic, are essential components of plant life. Importance of plant microbiomes is a trustworthy strategy for sustainability to handle upcoming food shortages and restore soil health. Understanding the relationships between plants and microorganisms is advancing with the concept of profiling plant-associated microbiomes (genome assemblies of all bacteria). Through a number of ways, the microbiota increases the plant's ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to solving the riddle of plant-microbe dynamics using cutting-edge technologies to comprehend the function of metabolites and signal route mechanisms. Recent developments in omics technologies for unravelling plant-microbe dynamic interactions and other novel phytotechnologies for soil health improvement are discussed at length in this volume, as well as novel methods for improved agricultural and environmental sustainability. Teachers, academics, plant biologists, and researchers will all find this book interesting. Students studying agriculture, microbiology, biotechnology, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences at the undergraduate and graduate levels can also use the book as supplemental reading material.

Fear of a Dead White Planet asks: How does one study when the planet is on fire? The More Worlds Collective challenges the contemporary rush to planetary technofixes for environmental emergency. Instead, it tracks how such planetary-science frames are enmeshed in the longstanding projects of White Supremacy, settler colonialism, and epistemological violence. Calling for unlearning and joined-up study, the collective reclaims terraforming from off-earth engineering schemes to think through how our more modest efforts to study differently are also world-making and world-breaking. In orienting its work toward terra and formation, the collective commits to a place-based, non universal study scaled at levels both intimate and massive. Through its serious but unruly methods, Fear of a Dead White Planet invites readers to recognize and conjure alternate worlds in and around the university.
Micro and Nanoplastics in Aquatic Environment
Over the past century and a half, advancements in polymer science--encompassing both natural and synthetic materials--have led to the development of strong, lightweight, and highly flexible polymers. Their remarkable diversity and versatility make them indispensable in modern life. However, the escalating accumulation of fragmented plastic waste in the environment has become a pressing global concern. Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), which tend to accumulate at the air-water interface, pose potential safety and security risks by serving as carriers for viruses. Currently, there is limited research on the effects of MNP consumption in both human and non-human models. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the challenges associated with MNPs, their environmental monitoring, and management strategies aimed at risk assessment and mitigation. It explores emerging techniques for identifying, collecting, and mitigating MNP contamination in aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, it delves into the toxicokinetics, fate, and transport of MNPs, including recent findings on their movement within the human body. A notable development in this field is the application of metamaterials for detecting and degrading organic pollutants and microplastics through photocatalysis. From a policy perspective, refining international standards--encompassing product labeling, responsible usage, and strategies for recycling, upcycling, and sustainable disposal--remains imperative for mitigating the long-term impact of MNP pollution.

River Contamination and Groundwater Integrity
River and groundwater are the major source of water for drinking and irrigation water supply in rural and urban area in the country. Large cities face water quality and quantity problems due to increasing population and improper disposal of solid and liquid waste. Groundwater which is the favorite alternative is facing threats due to anthropogenic activities in India, which has lead to deterioration in groundwater quality. Groundwater chemistry depends on a number of factors which includes geology, degree of chemical weathering of the various rock types, quality of recharge water and input from the sources other than water rock interaction and their interaction results in a complex groundwater quality. Pollution is primarily the result of irrigated agriculture, industrialization, and urbanization, which generates diverse waste, with attendant impact on the ecosystem and groundwater. Chemical contamination of river and groundwater is the most serious pollution problem, particularly in arid and semi- arid areas with deficient water resources.

Carbon Footprint Mitigation
Climate change are a set of harmful events that are not of human origin. These events are usually unpredictable or at least their occurrence cannot be predicted for a long time. Climate change has different types. Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, hail, avalanches, lightning, extreme temperature changes, droughts, and volcanoes are examples of climate changes. Currently, three approaches or paradigms of thought are emphasized in the literature on the vulnerability of societies to natural hazards. The role of humans and land use in the occurrence of landslides is extremely important, and among these factors, road construction in the region by humans has the first priority in the occurrence of landslides. The complete cutting of forest trees by humans is the second priority. In addition to these factors, natural factors are also effective on the occurrence of landslides, among which the factors of geological formation, fault, slope, and vegetation cover, and finally climate. Workers have to work at high altitudes, control heavy equipment or carry heavy tools and are exposed to loud noises for many hours of the day, which puts them in dangerous situations.
Domestic Solid Waste and its Treatment Technology
Solid waste generation is the common basis for activity data to estimate emissions from solid waste disposal, biological treatment, and incineration and open burning of waste. Solid waste generation rates and composition vary from country to country depending on the economic situation, industrial structure, waste management regulations and life style.Solid waste is generated from households, offices, shops, markets, restaurants, public institutions, industrial installations, water works and sewage facilities, construction and demolition sites, and agricultural activities. Solid waste management practices include: collection, recycling, solid waste disposal on land, biological and other treatments as well as incineration and open burning of waste.
Water Reuse for Landscaping
Water Reuse for landscaping is a combination of different knowledge in science, which includes a set of biological and water Reuse for landscaping factors in the form of water Reuse for landscaping and non-biological (physical, chemical) that affect the life of a person or species and are affected by it. Today, this definition is often related to man and his activities, and the water reuse for landscaping can be summed up as a set of natural factors of the earth, such as air, water, atmosphere, rock, plants, etc., that surround man. The difference between water reuse for landscaping and nature is that the definition of nature includes the set of natural, biotic and non-biotic factors that are considered exclusively, while the term water reuse for landscaping is described according to the interactions between humans and nature and from the perspective of humans. The variety of weather and the variety of climatic conditions, the type of soil, the difference in height and unevenness are among the factors that lead to the creation of the water reuse for landscaping.
