This book addresses the behavioural adaptations of parasites across a broad range of taxa, including parasitoid wasps, entomopathogenic nematodes, seed-feeding insects and plant-parasitic nematodes. The chapters emphasize the fundamental principles of parasitism and address the diversity and sophistication of parasite behavioural adaptations. The chapters are arranged in 4 sections discussing foraging for hosts, host infection, interactions among parasites within hosts and parasite-host interactions.

Unilateralism, COVID-19, and urgent domestic government commitments weakened multilateralism in 2020. However, countervailing trends of cooperation, prospective reopening, and shifting domestic dynamics may provide the opportunity to get multilateralism back on track in 2021, but it will require firm commitment.

Multilateral Matters is the quarterly publication of the Centre for Multilateralism Studies (CMS), analyzing the most recent developments regarding multilateralism by our team.

This thesis investigates the unique interactions between pregnancy, substance involvement, and race as they relate to the War on Drugs and the hyper-incarceration of women. Using ordinary least square regression analyses and data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics' 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates, I examine if (and how) pregnancy status, drug use, race, and their interactions influence two length of incarceration outcomes: sentence length and amount of time spent in jail between arrest and imprisonment. The results collectively indicate that pregnancy decreases length of incarceration outcomes for those offenders who are not substance-involved but not evenhandedly -- benefitting white pregnant offenders more than their Black counterparts. Similarly, any incarceration length leniency resulting from pregnancy does not apply uniformly once substance involvement is factored in: while pregnant, white, substance-involved offenders spend less time incarcerated than their nonpregnant, non-substance-involved white counterparts, they often received longer incarceration outcomes than those who were pregnant, white, and not substance-involved. The analyses reveal similar patterns among Black offenders, but the sentencing disparities associated with pregnancy and substance involvement are magnified: the results indicate that not only does substance involvement increase incarceration length among pregnant Black offenders, but several model specifications demonstrated that Black offenders who are both pregnant and substance-involved receive harsher sentencing outcomes and more jail time than their nonpregnant, non-substance-involved Black counterparts. These findings indicate that, despite a public departure from its most attention-grabbing components, the War on Drugs has contributed to a carceral system that disproportionately harms women -- especially Black women -- who are substance-involved and pregnant. The concluding analysis of my results underscores the unique intersections between the criminal justice and public ...

The Role of Support in the Right to Health. -- Abstract: The role of support or safeguards are presented in the evolution of the right to health as highly personal and universal. The CPCD incorporated into our domestic law raises challenges regarding the accessibility of the rights of people with disabilities, universal design and reasonable accommodations, facing the legal capacity of formal acts (arts. 31, 32 and 43 CCyC) and the exercise of an independent life. Its incidence in the medical benefits of both public and private providers highlights the revision of the limits to its granting, as well as its correlation with related figures such as the home assistant, therapeutic companion and personal assistant. ; Fil: Moreno, María Fernanda.

Lomas de Zamora, Argentina ; Sección: Artículos recibidos por convocatoria abierta.--Resumen: El rol del apoyo o salvaguardias se presenta en la evolución del derecho a la salud como personalísimo y universal. La CPCD incorporada a nuestro derecho interno plantea desafíos en torno a la accesibilidad de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad, el diseño universal y los ajustes razonables, frente a la capacidad jurídica de los actos formales (arts. 31, 32 y 43 CCyC) y por otro lado al ejercicio de una vida independiente. Su incidencia en las prestaciones médicas tanto de efectores públicos como privados resalta la revisión de los límites a su otorgamiento. Así como su correlato con figuras afines como el asistente domiciliario, acompañante terapéutico y asistente personal.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted both supply and demand sides of an interconnected world economy in 2020. Asia and the Pacific was not immune as lockdowns and travel and trade restrictions affected nearly all aspects of cross-border economic activity. This publication examines the initial impact on trade, investment, finance, and people's mobility across the region as the pandemic struck. It looks at how regional economies individually or collectively respond to the crisis by, for example, leveraging rapid technological progress and digitalization as well as increasing services trade to reconnect and recover. The theme chapter focuses on digital platforms and how they can accelerate digital transformation across the region.

During his December 2013 visits to Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, said that strengthening Japan's relations with the countries of ASEAN is "indispensable for the peace and prosperity of the region while also being in Japan's national interests".1 Seven years later, Suga's overseas debut in Vietnam and Indonesia in October 2020 as prime minister reiterated Japan's ambition to strengthen ties with Southeast Asia in general and with Vietnam in particular.
