This book examines the role of social media in shaping candidate images and its impact on voter attitudes and voting intentions in Indonesian elections. The book uses the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework to explore how external stimuli, such as social media information and candidate images, affect voters’ internal processes. It focuses particularly on how these stimuli shape attitudes that drive voting intentions. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram are highlighted as important tools for political engagement. Candidates like Prabowo Subianto and Ganjar Pranowo effectively utilized these platforms to enhance their appeal among younger voters, especially millennials and Gen Z. The book also emphasizes the significance of personal appeal, especially charm, as a key factor in shaping positive voter attitudes. While social media information is shown to have a strong influence, the book addresses the challenges posed by biased or misleading information. It also reveals that there are no significant differences between science and non-science students in how they form attitudes toward candidates, suggesting that candidate image and social media content resonate broadly across different demographic groups. This book provides insights into the growing role of social media in shaping political campaigns in the digital age.

Cyberfeminism and Gender Violence in Social Media is a timely and essential book that addresses the increasing violence against women on social media platforms. With the rise of digitalization and the advent of social media, women have been subjected to various forms of violence such as cyberbullying, trolling, and body shaming. This volume compiles research works on the topic of how women fall prey to social networking sites and possible remedial actions to prevent such issues. The book provides an interdisciplinary approach, making it relevant to a wide range of fields such as social science, humanities, technology, and management. It creates awareness among people, especially women, about the prospects of cybersecurity and its impact on their wellness. This book enriches readers about the impact of social media on the general public and how cyber security education can make people more aware of their security and well-being while online. This book is ideal for researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in new and innovative techniques for the safety of people irrespective of their gender. It is a significant contribution to the ongoing conversation on women's rights and violence against them in the digital age.

Mitochondrial research has exploded over the last ~150 years. This book gives an amazing view on a conceptual change in our understanding of mitochondrial biology. It becomes clear that mitochondria are extremely dynamic in nature, controlling life at multiple levels. Mitochondria rule energy conversion, adapt cells well to changing stress and nutrient conditions, and regulate many cellular processes including immunity. The dynamic nature of mitochondria occurs at an intramitochondrial level but also includes its ability to interact with other organelles and to modulate multiple signalling pathways. It is thus not surprising that alterations or inabilities to ensure this dynamic behaviour is linked to ageing and human diseases. The following sections give an updated view on mitochondria: Mitochondrial ultrastructure: molecular mechanisms shaping the inner membrane Mitochondrial cristae and lipid dynamics: from super-resolution microscopy to lipid-OXPHOS interplay Mitochondrial control of cellular homeostasis: from redox signalling to interorganellar contact sites Mitochondria in health and disease: from mtDNA release to Complex I assembly Advanced methods in mitochondrial biology and metabolism research Integrative view on mitochondrial research and outlook The field of mitochondrial research has always been full of surprises and has helped science to advance tremendously. It developed hand in hand with landmark developments in technology, such as super-resolution microscopy (nanoscopy), and is currently influencing an increasing number of scientific disciplines. There is still much ‘new’ to find out about this ‘old’ organelle and I think that you can find interesting and also unexpected aspects of mitochondrial biology in this book. I hope the book will enhance your scientific curiosity and inspire your own research.

ISBN: 303157446X

Zusammenfassung: This volume provides in depth reviews of the protein targeting translocation processes, gene transfer processes and genome reduction processes in the host and in the endosymbiont which were likely utilized during the evolution of an endosymbiont into mitochondria, mitochondria related organelles, simple and complex chloroplasts. These reviews cover both the current understanding of the host processes as well as the evolutionary outcomes used by these organelles for protein targeting and translocation. Reviews of the current knowledge of these topics are plentiful but scattered throughout the bacterial, parasite, plant and animal literature; here, reviews of current knowledge with evolutionary outcomes and future perspectives, written by leading researchers in their respective areas, are united into one comprehensive volume, essential for students and scientists interested in or working on subcellular protein localization, protein targeting signals, translocation of proteins across and insertion into membranes, nucleic acid transfer between genomes, genome reduction and evolution of mitochondria and chloroplast.

The Molecular Immunology of Neurological Diseases provides a comprehensive review of current updates in molecular immunogenetics of different neurological diseases. Readers will learn about the role of immune cells and their modulation strategies to help in the development of therapeutic approaches for both acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. There is no other book available on the topic. It has long been thought that the brain is an immune-privilege organ with very limited immune response. However recent studies have made clear that both systemic 'brain' and peripheral 'blood' immune cell responses play key roles in determining brain pathology in neurodegenerative disorders. This book summarizes the role of immune cell activation in the central nervous system microenvironment in acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, it discusses the key role of immune cells and their modulation strategies for the development of current therapeutic approaches. Discusses the molecular immunogenetics of different neurological diseases Covers strategies for the development of therapeutic approaches Encompasses both acute and chronic neurogenerative disorders Describes the molecular pathogenesis of viral genes in various diseases Features chapters on migraine, muscular dystrophy and cancer

This open access book contains 30 peer-reviewed papers based on presentations at the 27th General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). The meeting was held from July 8 to 18, 2019 in Montreal, Canada, with the theme being the celebration of the centennial of the establishment of the IUGG. The centennial was also a good opportunity to look forward to the next century, as reflected in the title of this volume. The papers in this volume represent a cross-section of present activity in geodesy, and highlight the future directions in the field as we begin the second century of the IUGG. During the meeting, the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) organized one Union Symposium, 6 IAG Symposia, 7 Joint Symposia with other associations, and 20 business meetings. In addition, IAG co-sponsored 8 Union Symposia and 15 Joint Symposia. In total, 3952 participants registered, 437 of them with IAG priority. In total, there were 234 symposia and 18 Workshops with 4580 presentations, of which 469 were in IAG-associated symposia.
