American higher education has been profoundly compromised in the past three decades. Standards have been eroded, the curriculum has been debased, and research has been trivialized or distorted by ideology. Yet the established voices of the academy often speak in tones that are self-congratulatory rather than self-critical. Academic Questions utilizes the best of scholarly analysis to explore the conspicuous vices, as well as the virtues, of the contemporary university. A journal dedicated to strengthening the integrity of scholarship and teaching, Academic Questions examines issues that arise from the interplay between politics, ideology, scholarship, and teaching in higher education. Among the questions explored are the maintenance of scholarly standards, the quality and even-handedness of peer review, the preservation of intellectual tolerance and civility on campus and within academic associations, and the relationship between government and education. A critique of the academy by academics themselves, Academic Questions upholds the traditions of humanism and intellectual freedom. Academic Questions is the official journal of the National Association of Scholars.
Revue officielle de la Société française d'endoscopie digestive (SFED), Acta Endoscopica publie des articles de formation continue regroupés le plus souvent dans un dossier thématique. L'endoscopie tant sur le plan diagnostique que thérapeutique est étudiée à travers des articles originaux et des cas cliniques. Ses applications médicales et chirurgicales sont largement exposées. Une place est faite aux études expérimentales sur de nouveaux matériels endoscopiques.La revue propose également des sujets propres à l'anatomopathologie, à l'imagerie en général ou encore à la biologie. Enfin, les lecteurs consulteront avec intérêt les revues de la littérature ou les analyses de livres. La revue publie également des dossiers spéciaux consacrés aux manifestations suivantes : La journée de réflexion de la SFED (Société française d’endoscopie digestive) Le Vidéo-Digest (congrès annuel de la SFED) et le Séminaire de formation de la SNFGE (Société nationale française de gastroentér
Acta Theriologica is an international journal of mammalogy, covering all aspects of mammalian biology. Long a leader in its field, the journal was founded in 1954, and has been published all in English since 1967.The journal presents work from scientists all over the world, covering all aspects of mammalian biology: genetics, ecology, behaviour, bioenergetics, morphology, development, reproduction, nutrition, physiology, paleontology and evolution.
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology presents multidisciplinary and dynamic findings in the broad fields of experimental medicine and biology. The wide variety in meeting proceedings it presents offers readers multiple perspectives on a variety of disciplines including neuroscience, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, biomedical engineering and cancer research. Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology has been publishing exceptional works in the field for over 30 years and is indexed in Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, BIOSIS, Biological Abstracts, CSA, Biological Sciences and Living Resources (ASFA-1), and Biological Sciences. The series also provides scientists with up to date information on emerging topics and techniques.
The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in polymer and biopolymer science. It covers all areas of research in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, material science. The thematic volumes are addressed to scientists, whether at universities or in industry, who wish to keep abreast of the important advances in the covered topics. Advances in Polymer Science enjoys a longstanding tradition and good reputation in its community. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it within the context of the volume. The volumes typically summarize the significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years and discuss them critically, presenting selected examples, explaining and illustrating the important principles, and bringing together many important references of primary literature. On that basis, future research directions in the area can be discussed. Advances in Polymer Science volumes thus are important references for every polymer scientist, as well as for other scientists interested in polymer science - as an introduction to a neighboring field, or as a compilation of detailed information for the specialist. Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume editors. Single contributions can be specially commissioned. Readership: Polymer scientists, or scientists in related fields interested in polymer and biopolymer science, at universities or in industry, graduate students.
Le Journal Africain du Cancer / African Journal of Cancer (JAC), créé sous l'égide de l'association Afrocancer est une revue scientifique et médicale internationale d'information et de formation sur le cancer. Son objectif est de favoriser et de promouvoir la lutte contre les pathologies tumorales sur le continent africain.La revue publie des travaux de recherche aussi bien fondamentale que clinique, principalement en langue française mais aussi anglaise. Elle présente et analyse les stratégies individuelles et collectives de prévention, ainsi que les approches médicales et thérapeutiques allant du diagnostic aux soins palliatifs.
Le JAC s'ouvre à tous les aspects de la cancérologie - de l’épidémiologie aux innovations biotechnologiques, ainsi qu'aux sciences humaines, sociales et environnementales - et souligne les disparités régionales, les influences culturelles et les réalités socio-économiques relatives à la lutte contre la maladie en Afrique. La revue présente sur un mode didactique les informations sur le cancer en Afrique afin de les rendre profitables à ses lecteurs.Véritable lieu d'échanges visant à établir des ponts de coopération entre acteurs du Nord et du Sud, la revue a pour objectif de relever, ensemble, les multiples défis du cancer.La revue est accréditée par le CAMES (Conseil africain et malgache pour l’enseignement supérieur).
