The contributors examine teacher education with theoretical and empirical approaches including both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The studies demonstrate that future teachers need high-level ethical and pedagogical skills to cope with the new challenges in education. With a research-based and holistic approach, we can educate good teachers for tomorrow's schools. Contributors to this collection of eleven articles reflect global issues in teacher education originating from Australia, Estonia, Finland, England, Portugal, and Sweden.Contemporary Teacher EducationEducationbicsscHistorybicsscAustralian educationdangerous territorydigital communicatione-portfolioencouraging digital feedbackfeedbackFinlandFinnish schoolsformative assessmentgeneral upper secondary educationholistic learninghome-school partnershipidentityin-service teachersinstrumentalismintegrated science educationinterdisciplinary educationlearninglearning analyticsmathematics educationMOOCn/anature of scienceonline educationparent-teacher partnershipsparental engagementparents' perspectivesPortugalprevention of violent extremism through educationprofessional developmentpurpose in lifepurposeful teacherrelevancesafe spacesciencescience educationscience of sciencescientific knowledgescientometricsself-efficacyteacher competenciesteacher educationteacher trainingteacher's professional agencyteachersteachers' beliefsteachers' perceptionsteachers' skillsteachers' supportvalues pedagogyworldviewsEducationHistoryTirri Kirsiedt455681Tirri KirsiothBOOK9910557567803321Contemporary Teacher Education: A Global Perspective3016885UNINA05702nam 22013693a 450 991036775370332120250203235427.09783039214501303921450010.3390/books978-3-03921-450-1(CKB)4100000010106180(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/44401(ScCtBLL)dd62bf84-dafe-4da1-8b78-b9defe0372a2(OCoLC)1163805900(oapen)doab44401(EXLCZ)99410000001010618020250203i20192019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCurcumin in Health and DiseaseBeatrice BachmeierMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (274 p.)9783039214495 3039214497 The plant-derived polyphenol curcumin has been used in promoting health and combating disease for thousands of years. Its therapeutic effects have been successfully utilized in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine in order to treat inflammatory diseases. Current results from modern biomolecular research reveal the modulatory effects of curcumin on a variety of signal transduction pathways associated with inflammation and cancer. In this context, curcumin's antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumorigenic, and even anti-metastatic activities are discussed. On the cellular level, the reduced activity of several transcription factors (such as NFkB or AP-1) and the suppression of inflammatory cytokines, matrix degrading enzymes, metastasis related genes and even microRNAs are reported. On functional levels, these molecular effects translate into reduced proliferative, invasive, and metastatic capacity, as well as induced tumor cell apoptosis. All these effects have been observed not only in vitro but also in animal models. In combination with anti-neoplastic drugs like Taxol, kinase inhibitors, and radiation therapy, curcumin potentiates the drugs' therapeutic power and can protect against undesired side effects. Natural plant-derived compounds like curcumin have one significant advantage: They do not usually cause side effects. This feature qualifies curcumin for primary prevention in healthy persons with a predisposition to cancer, arteriosclerosis, or chronic inflammatory diseases. Nonetheless, curcumin is considered safe, although potential toxic effects stemming from high dosages, long-term intake, and pharmacological interactions with other compounds have yet to be assessed. This Special Issue examines in detail and updates current research on the molecular targets, protective effects, and modes of action of natural plant-derived compounds and their roles in the prevention and treatment of human diseases.Chemistrybicsscmineralscancer treatmentchitosanneurodegenerationantioxidant activitysenescencetumor proliferationnanoparticlesantimicrobial agentsoxidative metabolitesdrug discoveryAkt/mTOR signalingmicronutrientsulcerative colitistransmission electron microscopymetabolic reprogrammingcurcumindeath receptorchaperone-mediated autophagywound healingbrain ischemiaautophagyAlzheimer's diseasegenestransthyretininflammatory bowel diseasecellular pathwaycentrifugal partition chromatographynutritionamyloidCurcuma longaprotein aggregationsupportive careIL-17senolyticscomplementary medicinemacronutrientsstructure activity relationshipgastroprotectionZingiberaceaeanti-inflamationTLC bioautographymicrobiotaglioblastoma multiformeamyloidosisSHMT2antioxidantssilicaapoptosisreflux esophagitisgastric ulcerTLC-MSanti-canceranticancerImageJanti-tumordelivery systemwoundHelicobacter pyloridirect protein bindingprotein misfoldingtumor growthdietCrohn's diseasehydrostatic counter-current chromatographyageingrenal cell cancergastric canceramino-acidsSTAT3mechanism of actioninflamm-agingmitophagynecrotizing enterocolitiscell cyclingvitaminsturmeric tubercancertau proteinChemistryBachmeier Beatrice1287693ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367753703321Curcumin in Health and Disease3020305UNINA
