    Description / Table of Contents: Contribution of human and animal to the microbial world and ecological balance -- Determinants of the Gut Microbiota -- Effects of Diet on Human Gut Microbiome and Subsequent Influence on Host 1 Physiology and Metabolism. -Probiotics and prebiotics on intestinal flora and gut health -- Role of the gut flora in human nutrition and gut health -- Gut microbiome in inflammation and chronic enteric infections -- Role of gut microbiome in colorectal cancer -- Gut microbiota and risk for atherosclerosis: current understanding of the mechanisms -- Gut microbiome and its role in enteric infections with microbial pathogens -- Antibiotic Therapy and its Effect on Gut Microbiome in Obesity and Weight loss -- Impact of gut microbiota on host through exploring proteomics -- Modulation of gut flora and its application in food animal products -- Index.
    Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive examination of the role of gut microbiome/microflora in nutrition, metabolism, disease prevention and health issues, including farm animal health and food value, and human gastrointestinal health and immunity. Indigenous microbiotas, particularly the gut microflora/microbiome, are an essential component in the modern concept of human and animal health. The diet and lifestyle of the host and environment have direct impact on gut microflora and the patterns of gut microbial colonization associated with health and diseases have been documented. Contributing authors cover the impact of gut microbiome in farm animal health, and explore the possibility of modulating the human gut microbiome with better animal products to prevent human diseases, including endemic and emerging diseases such as obesity, cancer and cardiac diseases. Dieting plan and control methods are examined, with attention paid to balance dieting with natural food and drink components. In addition, the role of gut microbiota in enteric microbial colonization and infections in farm animals is also discussed. The volume also explores the possibility of improving human health by modulating the microbiome with better food, including bio-active foods and appropriate forms of intake. Throughout the chapters, authors examine cutting edge research and technology, as well as future directions for better practices regarding emerging issues, such as the safety and production of organic food.

    Abstract: This book highlights the likely impacts of climate change in terms of global and national water securities, how different countries are attempting to address these complex problems and to what extent they are likely to succeed. A major global concern at present, especially after the social and economic havoc that has been caused by COVID-19 in only one year, is how we can return to earlier levels of economic development patterns and then further improve the process so that sustainable development goals are reached to the extent possible by 2030, in both developed and developing countries. Mankind is now facing two existential problems over the next several decades. These are climate change and whether the world will have access to enough water to meet all its food, energy, environment and health needs. Much of expected climate change impacts can be seen through the lens of extreme hydrological events, like droughts, floods and other extreme hydrometeorological events.

    Keywords: Environmental management. ; Water. ; Hydrology. ; Energy policy. ; Energy and state. ; Environmental education. ; Environmental engineering. ; Civil engineering. ; Environmental Management. ; Water. ; Energy Policy, Economics and Management. ; Environmental and Sustainability Education. ; Environmental Civil Engineering.
    Description / Table of Contents: About this book -- Understanding Cambodia -- Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority -- Four Domain (4-D) Framework for analysis of urban water utility -- Analysis of PPWSA -- Gap analysis of four domains -- Views of the customers -- Key challenges facing PPWSA -- Lessons learnt for developing countries -- A Management Tool Kit for Chief Executives.
    Abstract: This book analyses how a water utility from a developing country, Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority, that was totally dysfunctional, corruption-ridden and literally bankrupt in 1993, became one of the most successful water utilities of the developing world in only about 15 years. By 2010, some of the performance indicators of this public sector utility were even better than London, Paris or Los Angeles. The book further analyses the enabling conditions that made this remarkable transformation possible. Based on this analysis, a framework is recommended for water utilities from developing countries so that they can also be transformed into functional, efficient, equitable and financially viable institutions on a sustainable basis.
