Studies of violence in Africa often refer to ethnic wars and explicit conflicts and do not enter the hidden domain of violence that this book reveals through in-depth anthropological studies from different parts and contexts in Africa. Ordinary violence has its distinctive forms embedded in specific histories and cultures. It is gendered, implicates witchcraft accusations, varies in rural and urban contexts, relates to demographic and socio-economic changes of the past decades and is embedded in the everyday life of many African citizens. The experience of ordinary violence goes beyond the simple notion of victimhood; instead it structures social life and should therefore be a compelling part of the study of social change.Afrika-Studiecentrum series ;Volume 31.ViolenceAfricaWomenAbuse ofAfricaChild abuseAfricaFamily violenceAfricaMarginality, SocialAfricaSocial changeAfricaAfricaSocial conditions21st centuryElectronic books.ViolenceWomenAbuse ofChild abuseFamily violenceMarginality, SocialSocial change303.60967Bouju JackyBruijn Mirjam de1962-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463551203321Ordinary violence and social change in Africa2062822UNINA02560nam 2200349 450 991068846950332120230623210918.03-03842-990-2(CKB)5400000000000144(NjHacI)995400000000000144(EXLCZ)99540000000000014420230623d2018 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCyclic Nucleotide Signaling and the Cardiovascular System /edited by Thomas Brand, Enno KlussmannBasel :MDPI,2018.1 online resource (306 pages)The cyclic nucleotides 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) play important roles in the control of cardiovascular function under physiological and pathological conditions. In this book, which is a reprint of a Special Issue of the Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease entitled "Cyclic Nucleotide Signaling and the Cardiovascular System", internationally recognized experts give an overview of this vibrant scientific field. The first series of articles deal with the localization and function of membrane-bound and soluble adenylate cyclases, followed by articles on the roles of phosphodiesterase isoforms in the heart. Cyclic nucleotide signaling takes place in nanodomains and the A-kinase anchor proteins (AKAPS) are essential for the compartmentalized assembly of signaling proteins into functional complexes. Reviews on the role of AKAP proteins in the physiology and pathophysiology of the heart are also included in this book. Cyclic nucleotides act through effector proteins and articles on EPAC and POPDC proteins inform the reader of recent developments on these topics. A major advancement in our understanding of cyclic nucleotide signaling came through the use of genetically encoded cAMP sensor molecules, and a series of articles review the current insight that these reporter molecules have provided. The final set of articles in this book deals with the association of the cyclic nucleotide pathway and cardiovascular disease as well as the development of novel therapeutic approaches.NucleotidesNucleotides.547.79Klussmann EnnoBrand ThomasNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910688469503321Cyclic Nucleotide Signaling and the Cardiovascular System2943092UNINA
