Sommario/riassunto

The ignoring of ethics in business practice bears negative consequences for business, manifested in general negligence, such as pollution, environmental changes, problems in HRS, business relation scale in general, and eventually the maintenance and sustainability of general prosperity and business itself. The purpose of this e-book is to facilitate understanding of where ethical and moral limits actually should be underlined - as that question seems to represent most difficulty. Perhaps because the answer is plain - they are within each and every one of us, and are nurtured by each and every

Sommario/riassunto

Inorganic Controlled Release Technology: Materials and Concepts for Advanced Drug Formulation provides a practical guide to the use and applications of inorganic controlled release technology (iCRT) for drug delivery and other healthcare applications, focusing on newly developed inorganic materials such as bioresorbable glasses and bioceramics. The use of these materials is introduced for a wide range of applications that cover inorganic drug delivery systems for new drug development and the reformulation of existing drugs. The book describes basic concepts, principles, and industrial practic
