Through the Grapevine : Socially Transmitted Information and Distorted Democracy
An enlightening examination of what it means when Americans rely on family and friends to stay on top of politics. Accurate information is at the heart of democratic functioning.For decades, researchers interested in how information is disseminated have focused on mass media, but the reality is that many Americans today do not learn about politics from direct engagement with the news.Rather, about one-third of Americans learn chiefly from information shared by their peers in conversation or on social media.How does this socially transmitted information differ from that communicated by traditional media?What are the consequences for political attitudes and behavior? Drawing on evidence from experiments, surveys, and social media, Taylor N.Carlson finds that, as information flows first from the media then person to person, it becomes sparse, more biased, less accurate, and more mobilizing.The result is what Carlson calls distorted democracy.Although socially transmitted information does not necessarily render democracy dysfunctional, Through the Grapevine shows how it contributes to a public that is at once underinformed, polarized, and engaged.

The Hidden Affliction : Sexually Transmitted Infections and Infertility in History
Multidisciplinary collection of essays on the relationship of infertility and the "historic" STIs--gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis--producing surprising new insights in studies from across the globe and spanning millennia. A multidisciplinary group of prominent scholars investigates the historical relationship between sexually transmitted infections and infertility.Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause infertility in a proportion of women and men.Unlike the much-feared venereal disease of syphilis--"the pox"--gonorrhea and chlamydia are often symptomless, leaving victims unaware of the threat to their fertility.Science did not unmask the causal microorganisms until thelate nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Their effects on fertility in human history remain mysterious.This is the first volume to address the subject across more than two thousand years of human history. Following asynoptic editorial introduction, part 1 explores the enigmas of evidence from ancient and early modern medical sources.Part 2 addresses fundamental questions about when exactly these diseases first became human afflictions, withnew contributions from bioarcheology, genomics, and the history of medicine, producing surprising new insights.Part 3 presents studies of infertility and its sociocultural consequences in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Africa, Oceania, and Australia.Part 4 examines the quite different ways the infertility threat from STIs was perceived--by scientists, the public, and government--in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Germany, France, and Britain, concluding with a pioneering empirical estimate of the infertility impact in Britain. Simon Szreter is Professor of History and Public Policy, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of St.John's College, Cambridge.

How are sexually transmitted diseases transmitted?
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. They can be passed from one person to another through the exchange of bodily fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk. STDs can also be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact with infected areas, such as genital warts or herpes sores. It is important to practice safe sex and get tested regularly to prevent the spread of STDs.
-
Which diseases are transmitted?
Diseases that are transmitted from person to person include the common cold, influenza, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and COVID-19. These diseases can be spread through various means such as respiratory droplets, bodily fluids, and close contact with an infected person. It is important to practice good hygiene, get vaccinated, and take necessary precautions to prevent the spread of these diseases.
-
How is scabies transmitted?
Scabies is transmitted through close, prolonged skin-to-skin contact with an infected person. The mites that cause scabies burrow into the skin and lay eggs, leading to the spread of the infestation. It can also be transmitted through sharing clothing, bedding, or towels with an infected person. Scabies is highly contagious and can easily spread in crowded living conditions or among family members.
-
Are cats transmitted scabies?
No, cats do not transmit scabies to humans. Scabies is caused by the human itch mite, Sarcoptes scabiei, and is specific to humans. Cats can get a different type of mite infestation called "mange," but this is caused by a different species of mite and cannot be transmitted to humans. It's important to seek veterinary care if you suspect your cat has mange or any other skin condition.

Transmitted Light Microscopy of Rock-Forming Minerals : An Introduction to Optical Mineralogy
This book presents a guide of optical mineralogy for beginners and microscopists who need to brush up their knowledge.It allows the fast identification of common rock-forming minerals in a thin section using a polarized light microscope and transmitted plane and cross polarized light.The book summarizes essential principles of optical mineralogy in numerous schemes.It explains, with the aid of more than 1000 microscopic images, how to determine the diagnostic optical characteristics of a mineral in a thin section.Seventy-two mineral plates of sixty-five common rock-forming minerals comprising typical microscopic images in plane and cross polarized light illustrate the most important optical and crystallographic parameters and their diagnostic characteristics and typical appearance in various geological settings.The original approach of the book is to facilitate mineral identification by mineral plates organized according to color in transmitted plane polarized light and, in each color category, according to decreasing maximum birefringence in cross polarized light.In addition, two chapters are devoted to the classification of magmatic and metamorphic rocks and their common mineral parageneses and textures. The book reflects the author’s experience of teaching optical mineralogy in the most efficient way possible to generations of students at the Universities of Heidelberg (Germany), Basel (Switzerland), and Geneva (Switzerland).

How is herpes transmitted?
Herpes is primarily transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, particularly during sexual activity. The virus can be spread through contact with the herpes sores, but it can also be transmitted even when there are no visible symptoms. Herpes can also be spread through oral-genital contact, and in some cases, it can be transmitted from a mother to her baby during childbirth. It's important to practice safe sex and communicate openly with sexual partners to reduce the risk of transmitting or contracting herpes.

How are bed bugs transmitted?
Bed bugs are typically transmitted through infested items such as luggage, clothing, or furniture. They can also be transferred through close contact with infested individuals or by visiting infested areas. Bed bugs do not fly or jump, but they can crawl quickly from one place to another, making it easy for them to spread. It is important to be cautious when traveling or purchasing second-hand items to prevent the transmission of bed bugs.
-
Can electricity be transmitted wirelessly?
Yes, electricity can be transmitted wirelessly through a process called electromagnetic induction. This involves using electromagnetic fields to transfer energy between two objects. One common example of wireless electricity transmission is through the use of induction charging pads for devices like smartphones and electric toothbrushes. Additionally, there are ongoing research and development efforts to explore the possibility of transmitting electricity wirelessly over longer distances for applications such as powering electric vehicles or providing energy to remote locations.

What does electronically transmitted mean?
Electronically transmitted refers to the process of sending or receiving information, data, or messages through electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, or other digital platforms. This method allows for the quick and efficient transfer of data over long distances without the need for physical transportation. Examples of electronically transmitted information include emails, text messages, online forms, and digital files.
