    Abstract: Tremor is intimately linked to the numerous interactions of the central and peripheral nervous system components tuning motor control, from the cerebral cortex to the peripheral effectors. Activities of central generators, reflex loop delays, inertia, stiffness, and damping are all factors that influence the features of tremor. This completely updated new edition discusses the pathophysiology of tremor, including membrane mechanisms and rodent models, the advances in genetics, and the musculoskeletal models pertinent to body oscillations. The main forms of tremor encountered during clinical practice are considered, taking into account neuroimaging aspects. The book covers recent advances in methodologies and techniques of assessment and provides practical information for daily management. This new edition is informed by the guidelines of the Tremor Task Force of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society. New chapters include Classification of Tremors, Medically Induced Tremors, Resting State fMRI, and Gabaergic Pathways. In addition to pharmacological treatments, neurosurgical approaches such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) and thalamotomy are discussed. Emerging techniques under development are also introduced.

    Description / Table of Contents: Part I - Money and its role in the economy -- 1. Introduction: the world is on a collision course -- 2. What is money? -- 3.

Final considerations.
    Abstract: This book combines the field of economics —especially monetary theory— with other disciplines like ecology, physics, humanities, social sciences and development theory. This transdisciplinary approach makes the book a unique contribution for researchers, students, policy makers and professionals working in governmental or nongovernmental institutions, as well as anyone interested in society’s well-being and achieving a true social-ecological transformation. It is written in an accessible language in order to reach a broad audience. In 2015, more than 190 world leaders recognized that the world is on a “collision course” (Max-Neef) and committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many conferences and high-level meetings have been held since then, and one of the most frequently discussed topics is how to finance these goals. There is a widespread belief that coming up with more money for sustainable development will “do the trick”. Usually, the discussions focus on finding additional financial resources in order to achieve the goals faster. In this book it is argued that not only is more money needed, but it needs to be a different kind of money. The book demonstrates that ALL but one of the SDGs are directly linked to our monetary system, which —being completely unnatural— can be seen as the most important, but at the same time least recognized, reason for market failure. Many people think we just need to do more, faster, better. Very few say that we have done things fundamentally wrong and that the institutions and values which motivated us to do those things need to be changed. It will be concluded that only if we change our unnatural design of money to a more natural one, will we be able to reach these goals.

    Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive summary of our current knowledge on lysine demethylases, a class of epigenetic regulators. It takes the reader on an exciting journey spanning the past two decades, starting from the initial discovery and characterization of these enzymes and leading up to the development of their small molecule modulators. These modulators have shown promise in clinical trials and hold great potential to improve patient outcomes. The book captures the progress made in this field and highlights the significant advancements that have paved the way for potential therapeutic applications. The book covers a wide range of topics, spanning both basic biology and clinical implications associated with lysine demethylases. It offers a comprehensive historical and conceptual framework for the discovery and characterization of similar epigenetic enzymes or modulators. Chapter one serves as an introductory overview, providing insights into the general characteristics and functions of lysine demethylases. In subsequent chapters, specifically chapters two to eight, each major family of lysine demethylases is individually explored in depth. By providing in-depth insights into the functional aspects of these enzymes, the book allows readers to grasp their significance in regulating cellular processes and influencing pathogenesis. Moreover, the book goes beyond fundamental knowledge and also explores the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies related to lysine demethylases. It highlights the potential for utilizing these enzymes as therapeutic targets for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases. Additionally, the book highlights future directions aimed at further unraveling the roles of lysine demethylases and translating these findings into the clinic.

    Abstract: This book contains subjects by authors with a fresh, exciting and extensive focus within the medical humanities, offering the reader chapters which include the history of medical illustration, Graphic Medicine as a vehicle for the expression of humanistic dimensions of healthcare, equitable and ethical medical illustrations, as well as novel, art-based approaches in anatomical education. Authors consider the role of visual narratives in medical and scientific illustration, the unique affordances of the comics medium, the history of comics as a form of medical and scientific visualization, and the role of comics as didactic tools and as vehicles for the expression of the humanistic dimensions of healthcare. A chapter considers ethical and equitable implications in global healthcare practice, and highlights the work currently being undertaken to address inappropriate and problematic depictions of people in global health visualizations. This will inform the reader of emerging and current thinking about visual communication and the use of images in the public domain, as well as in the healthcare and education sectors. Novel approaches in anatomical education include the benefits of three-dimensional anatomy models made of felt, visual analogies as a method to enhance students’ learning of histology, the use of the hands for learning anatomy, and visualizing anatomy through art, archaeology and medicine. This book will appeal to readers who have an interest in the medical humanities, Graphic Medicine, and ethical medical and anatomical illustrations. These include academic and non-academic readers, medical students, medical educators, clinicians, health-care workers, as well as policy makers.
