Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Saffron is a precious spice which is mainly grown in Iran, India, Spain, Greece, Italy, Pakistan, Morocco, and central Asian countries. Until recently, saffron was perceived only for its value as a spice. However, with recent research findings pointing to the medicinal properties of saffron such as its antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic and antioxidant effects, interest in this plant has increased. The book presents a comprehensive account of saffron which includes the historical background, acerage underproduction, yield and applications, botanical ecophysiology, production technology, irrigation, pests, diseases and weeds, genetics, sterility, reproduction and production of secondary metabolites by in vitro method, economic aspects, indigenous knowledge in saffron production, processing, chemical composition and quality control, and research strategies."--Provided by publisher. |

Sommario/riassunto |

This volume explores the bilateral treaties concluded after 1990 between the Republic of Poland and its neighbouring states (Germany, then-Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Belarus and Lithuania), known as treaties on neighbourly relations or good neighbourhood treaties. These treaties, through which Poland and its neighbours were able to establish their political, security and social relations, were extremely significant in that they provided a unique way for them to organise their interstate post-Cold War relations. This book analyses the consequences of these treaties and addresses a variety of issues, including security policy and cooperation, migration, national minority rights, economic cooperation, education, and cross-border cooperation. Karina Paulina Marczuk is Assistant Professor at the Institute of International Relations, Faculty of Political Science and International Studies, University of Warsaw, Poland. She is a co-editor of the book seriesPoland's Foreign Policy Library and editor of recent volume, Reconciliation-Partnership-Security: Cooperation between Poland and Germany 1991-2016. |

This edited book explores how university educators are leading pro-human change in global higher education in a rapidly evolving digital era. The book highlights the transformative power of collaboration, impactful educational development, and inclusive communities within academic settings, demonstrating how education without boundaries can catalyse social, political, and human rights advocacy. Through insightful ethnographic accounts and expert perspectives, chapters examine the challenges and opportunities of artificial intelligence, neoliberal university expansion, and digital learning environments. This collection offers practical strategies and critical reflections for fostering student success, advancing teaching and learning, and shaping curriculums suited to the post-digital future of higher education. The book will interest academics and students exploring higher education, digital education, educational technology, artificial intelligence, pedagogy, and human rights.
