Beyond the law: Multi-disciplinary perspectives on human rights
The academic study and international practice of human rights are dominated by legal analysis. There is increasing consensus that a narrow legal approach is inadequate for both the understanding and implementation of human rights. This paper seeks to extend the purely legal understanding of human rights by demonstrating both the contributions and limitations of comparative political science…

Beyond the Iron Age: The ecological relevance of bioactive trace metals other…
The catalysis of chemical reactions is one of the most central processes in biology, as most reactions in living organisms would occur too slowly to play any role in their metabolism. For example, the rate of biologically relevant reactions would take hundreds to millions of years in the absence of a catalyst (Stockbridge et al., 2010)

Biodiversity of Vegetation and Flora in Tropical Africa
African ecosystems comprise a wealthy repository of biodiversity, with a high proportion of native and endemic plant species, which makes them biologically unique and providers of a wide range of ecosystem services. A large part of African populations, in both rural and urban areas, depend on plants for their survival and welfare, but many ecosystems are being degraded, mostly due to the growin…

Beyond the conventional Renin Angiotensin System
Evidence for the potential role of organ specific cardiovascular renin–angiotensin systems (RAS) has been demonstrated experimentally and clinically with respect to certain cardiovascular and renal diseases. These findings have been supported by studies involving pharmacological inhibition during ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, cardiac failure; hypertension associated with l…

Beyond the borders: The gates and fences of Neuroimmune interaction
Historically, in most organisms the nervous, immune, and the endocrine systems have been studied as independent components. However, during the last decades, growing evidence supports the notion that these are three parts of a unique system, the neuro-immune-endocrine system (Besedosky and Rey, 2007)
