Policy Process and Global Development

1st Edition
November 15, 2029
Suresh Babu
English

Food Policy Process and Global Development: Lessons from Food System Reforms reviews the theories of policy making process in order to apply them in food, agriculture, and natural resource sectors in developing countries. Expert contributors review the analytical methods that have been employed by recent studies to explain various dimension of policy process. Based on a conceptual framework that brings a range of theories and models together for future research, authors of the chapters apply them to political and policy settings to provide real-world insights. The book addresses the reality that the application of theories of policy change depends on many factors including the nature of the policy, underlying institutions, political and macroeconomic policy making conditions, capacity of the policy actors and players and their ideological inclination. This book focuses on the capacity of the policy making system to actively engage in debate and dialogues to deliver consistent policy outcomes to meet the development goals and provides systematic documentation of methods and strategies and their successful application.

Intestinal Barrier in Health and Disease

1st Edition
November 1, 2029
Driton Vllasaliu
English

Intestinal Barrier in Health and Disease: Implications for Personalized Oral Drug Delivery fills a gap in the literature on oral drug absorption and drug delivery to the gastrointestinal tract in situations where the gastrointestinal (GIT) barrier is abnormal, for example, due to disease, aging or malnutrition. Topics in the book include physiological barriers to oral drug absorption & delivery to GIT, physiological regulation of the intestinal epithelial barrier, and disease-associated (e.g. Inflammatory Bowel Disease) remodelling of the intestinal epithelial barrier and effect on oral drug bioavailability & delivery to the GIT including microbiota-associated (dysbiosis) effects on oral drug bioavailability. Also covered is malnutrition-associated effect on the intestinal epithelial barrier and effect on oral drug absorption/bioavailability age-Associated Remodeling of the intestinal epithelial barrier and effect on oral drug bioavailability. Intestinal Barrier in Health and Disease: Implications for Personalized Oral Drug Delivery will be of interest to pharmaceutical scientists working in the pharmaceutical industry and academia, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students studying relevant biomedical sciences such as pharmacy/pharmaceutical science and medicine.
