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. |

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. Michael James Day is Associate Professor of Higher Education, at the Reader Level, and Institutional Lead of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) at the University of Greenwich, UK. He has led educational advocacy projects internationally in Myanmar, Thailand, and China, holding global leadership roles that have earned him Principal Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (PFHEA). Once among the UK’s youngest qualified teachers, Michael's research on developing the pro-human web, digital poverty, and international education is widely published in notable journals and his commentary |
