“…The infamous line proclaimed by the Red Queen in Through the Looking Glass, "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place!" (19), describes the challenge inherent in tackling antimicrobial resistance. Nonetheless, promising new screening platforms, an expansion of functional genomic resources in fungal pathogens, improved technologies for natural product drug discovery, and the exploration of combinations to treat fungal infections can all be leveraged to face this challenge.…”

The fungal pathogens Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus have transitioned from a rare curiosity to a leading cause of human mortality. The management of infections caused by these organisms is intimately dependent on the efficacy of antifungal agents; however, fungi that are resistant to these treatments are regularly isolated in the clinic, impeding our ability to control infections. Given the significant impact fungal pathogens have on human health, it is imperative to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern antifungal drug resistance. This review describes our current knowledge of the mechanisms by which antifungal drug resistance evolves in experimental populations and clinical settings. We explore current antifungal treatment options and discuss promising strategies to impede the evolution of drug resistance. By tackling antifungal drug resistance as an evolutionary problem, there is potential to improve the utility of current treatments and accelerate the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the contrast between stable and dynamic labour markets in academe in light of career theories that were originally developed for business environments.Design/methodology/approachA conceptual design, offering the eco‐system as a framework.FindingsIt evaluates their relevance and applicability to dynamic and global academic labour markets using the emerging novel eco‐system theory. Lessons are drawn for individual scholars employed in the higher education sector as well as to institutions.Practical implicationsThe paper suggests practical indications for people‐management within academe. It integrates human capital theory, psychological‐contract concepts and career perspectives about people‐management with practical career advice for the sector.Originality/valueThe paper offers a conceptual framework to better understand labour markets, in particular academic labour markets, using eco‐system as a strong explanatory power.

“…In Lewis Carroll's (1871) Through the Looking Glass, Humpty Dumpty declares that words can mean anything he wants them to mean. In the above conversation, it is the academic literacies researcher who takes on the role of arbiter of the word "proofreading" and its meaning.…”

Working With Academic Literacies: Case Studies Towards Transformative Practice

The Perspectives on Writing series addresses writing studies in a broad sense. Consistent with the wide ranging approaches characteristic of teaching and scholarship in writing across the curriculum, the series presents works that take divergent perspectives on working as a writer, teaching writing, administering writing programs, and studying writing in its various forms. INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES ON THE STUDY OF WRITING Series Editors, Terry Myers Zawacki, Magnus Gustafsson, and Joan MullinThe International Exchanges on the Study of Writing Series publishes book-length manuscripts that address worldwide perspectives on writing, writers, teaching with writing, and scholarly writing practices, specifically those that draw on scholarship across national and disciplinary borders to challenge parochial understandings of all of the above. The series aims to examine writing activities in 21st-century contexts, particularly how they are informed by globalization, national identity, social networking, and increased cross-cultural communication and awareness. As such, the series strives to investigate how both the local and the international inform writing research and the facilitation of writing development.viiiContents Chapter 27 .

Abstract: Everything was happening so oddly that she didn’t feel a bit surprised at finding the Red Queen and the White Queen sitting close to her, one on each side: she would have liked very much to ask them how they came there, but she feared...
