Filling that gap, this book brings together recent evidence of AIDS impacts on rural households, livelihoods, and agricultural practice in sub-Saharan Africa. There is particular emphasis on the role...

A Textbook on HIV AIDS
ISBN: 9783847324348 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. HIV is a member of the genus Lentivirus, part of the family of Retroviridae. Two types of HIV have been characterized: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is the most common and pathogenic strain of the virus. Despite the success of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in controlling HIV infection and reducing HIV associated mortality, current drug regimens are unable to completely eradicate HIV infection. Bioinformatics methods based on complex networks and Gene Ontologies (GOs) come to our rescue in predicting the possible targets for such diseases and are very useful in this area. This work...

How does AIDS relate to thinking and acting, particularly deconstructive thinking?

HIV/AIDS in South Africa - The Facts and the Fiction
ISBN: 9780936571089 / Angielski / Miękka / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few people realize that the familiar HIV/AIDS global statistics are actually estimates. For example, UNAIDS estimated that the Republic of South Africa (RSA) had 140,000 HIV/AIDS deaths in 1997. However, after tabulating all deaths for 1997, the Republic of South Africa attributed only 6,635 deaths to HIV/AIDS. Such discrepancies are rarely noted. The Republic of South Africa (RSA) stands as the exemplar of these discrepancies. It is reputed to have the world's largest AIDS epidemic with an estimated 5.6 million people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) in 2008. Such PLWH estimates, as with the...
