Sommario/riassunto |
|
Why are some genocides prominently remembered while others are ignored, hidden, or denied? Consider the Turkish campaign denying the Armenian genocide, followed by the Armenian movement to recognize the violence. Similar movements are building to acknowledge other genocides that have long remained out of sight in the media, such as those against the Circassians, Greeks, Assyrians, the indigenous peoples in the Americas and Australia, and the violence that was the precursor to and the aftermath of the Holocaust. The contributors to this collection look at these cases and others from a variety of perspectives. These essays cover the extent to which our biases, our ways of knowing, our patterns of definition, our assumptions about truth, and our processes of remembering and forgetting as well as the characteristics of generational transmission, the structures of power and state ideology, and diaspora have played a role in hiding some events and not others. Noteworthy among the collection's coverage is |

whether the trade in African slaves was a form of genocide and a discussion not only of Hutus brutalizing Tutsi victims in Rwanda, but of the execution of moderate Hutus as well. Hidden Genocides is a significant contribution in terms of both descriptive narratives and interpretations to the emerging subfield of critical genocide studies.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This Special Issue covers recent research in nanochemistry convergence from disease prevention to diagnosis and treatment. It includes studies on new (bio)molecules and hybrids with diagnostic, chemopreventive, or therapeutical properties; novel nanobioengineered biosensors for disease diagnostics; and nanoparticles and nanobioconjugates for targeted drug delivery. The Special Issue collects a benchmark of state-of-the-art works on the computational simulation, structural modeling, and construction of new libraries of molecules to identify potential targets, synthesize molecules, and study their potential in developing diagnostic and therapeutic tools. It illustrates other topics that go from directed evolution techniques to help create mutants of proteins with enhanced activity concerning the native structures to reviews on nanobioprobes using conjugation approaches and biosensors as |

promising tools for disease detection. The Special Issue also provides examples of drug delivery systems based on biocompatible and biodegradable materials for chemoprevention. |
