Sommario/riassunto

Nowadays, most of Western consumers are aware that a targeted diet could be an important tool for fighting ageing and diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Microorganisms may be exploited for setting up novel foods that, beside their nutritional value, may positively impact on consumers' health. Some microorganisms may benefit host when ingested as viable cells carried by food and beverages. This falls in the intriguing field of probiotics, recently brought forward by the numerous probiotic claims rejected by the



European Food Safety Authority. This research topic includes research articles and reviews/perspectives that (i) contribute to understand the mechanism underlying the health effects of probiotic microorganisms; (ii) show integrated approaches for selecting new probiotics; (iii) report about non-dairy food items as novel carriers of probiotics; and (iv) deal with biologically active compounds from microorganisms.

Sommario/riassunto

“The shift from a Western vision of psychology to the appreciation of multiple, indigenous psychologies is momentous in its potential. How



then are we now to bring about a coherent, global psychology? As a tribute to the path-finding works of Kuo-Shu Yang, the present volume launches an international forum to explore this significant question. A stellar cast of culturally concerned psychologists offer keen insights, sparkling debate and a deep appreciation of the importance of bringing cherished differences into a just and inclusive whole. Such groundbreaking deliberation provides a window into the profound challenge of how the world’s peoples can achieve a form of unity that will enable us to survive.” —Kenneth J. Gergen, author of Relational Being: Beyond Self and Community (2011) “This volume is an incredible tribute to Professor Kuo-Shu Yang’s lifetime contribution to indigenous psychology. Any students of indigenous psychology cannot miss reading this volume.” —Ying-yi Hong, Choh-Ming Li Professor of Marketing, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong “Prof. Yang left the most valuable legacy in Asian indigenous psychology. The debates among international scholars included in this book are extremely inspiring.” —Susumu Yamaguchi, Emeritus Professor of Social Psychology, University of Tokyo, Japan This volume celebrates the visions of a more equitable global psychology as inspired by the late Professor K. S. Yang, one of the founders of the indigenous psychology movement. This unprecedented international debate among leaders in the field is essential for anyone who wishes to understand the movement from within—the thinking and the vision of those who are the driving forces behind the movement. This book should appeal to scholars and students of psychology, sociology, anthropology, ethnology, philosophy of science, and postcolonial studies.
