In spite of becoming-animal being a key concept in Deleuze and Guattari, this is the first volume to address the ambiguous idea of the animal as human and nonhuman life infiltrating all of Deleuze’s work. Contemporary applications of animality in Deleuze in film, television, music, gaming and art are collected alongside critical issues of ethics, activism and ecology in consideration of the future of our understanding of life and the animal as both the kingdom of which the human is part and the first dividing line of identity within the anthropocene. The Introduction provides summaries of all 16 chapters, tying them to common threads in Deleuze and Guattari’s writings as well as establishing innovative trajectories for future readings of animality in Deleuze in a variety of fields.

The authors examine the future of podiatric medicine through an analysis of the characteristics of students presently enrolled in the colleges of podiatric medicine and the characteristics of college graduates from 1990 to 1995. Specific attention is also given to a number of critical issues surrounding graduate podiatric medical education. The authors conclude that despite a growing number of challenges awaiting podiatric medical education, the present complement of students and graduates of the colleges of podiatric medicine appear to offer the public reasonable expectations for quality foot care.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has deeply altered social and working environments in several ways. Social distancing policies, mandatory lockdowns, isolation periods, and anxiety of getting sick, along with the suspension of productive activity, loss of income, and fear of the future, jointly influence the mental health of citizens and workers. Workplace aspects can play a crucial role on moderating or worsening mental health of people facing this pandemic scenario. The purpose of this literature review is to deepen the psychological aspects linked to workplace factors, following the epidemic rise of COVID-19, in order to address upcoming psychological critical issues in the workplaces. We performed a literature search using Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus, selecting papers focusing on workers’ psychological problems that can be related to the workplace during the pandemic. Thirty-five articles were included. Mental issues related to the health emergency, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep disorders are more likely to affect healthcare workers, especially those on the frontline, migrant workers, and workers in contact with the public. Job insecurity, long periods of isolation, and uncertainty of the future worsen the psychological condition, especially in younger people and in those with a higher educational background. Multiple organizational and work-related interventions can mitigate this scenario, such as the improvement of workplace infrastructures, the adoption of correct and shared anti-contagion measures, including regular personal protective equipment (PPE) supply, and the implementation of resilience training programs. This review sets the basis for a better understanding of the psychological conditions of workers during the pandemic, integrating individual and social perspectives, and providing insight into possible individual, social, and occupational approaches to this “psychological pandemic”.

Serving the best interests of the consumer is the responsibility of industry and of regulatory officials. This requires that both be adaptable to change; have a long-rang point of view; and concentrate on problems of the future rather than those of the past. Emphasis is needed on fundamentals in milk quality and sanitation; increasing consumer appeal; and continual increase in efficiency of dairy production.

The paper gives an account of the methods of packaging milk which have been in use in Britain since 1900 (approximately). The author endeavours to explain the reasons for changes or developments in the light of technical progress within the dairy industry and the advances which have taken place in associated industries. The importance of hygiene, economics, conformity with legislation, and changes which have occurred during the present century are discussed. Particular emphasis will be given to the use of the glass bottle as a container for milk, the reasons why it has remained in use for so long, and the likelihood of its being in use for some considerable time in the future. Washing, filling, and handling methods in relation to the glass bottle will be dealt with in detail. Improvements in design standardization will be considered, as well as the effects of reducing the weights of bottles and surface treatments which are now being adopted. The usage of alternative materials for the packaging of milk will be considered. The difficulties associated with the introduction of cartons are considered, and the possibilities of increased sales in these and other containers in the future receive attention. Plastic bottles, sachets, and bag-in-box developments for the packaging of milk are discussed, and indications given of their limitations, advantages and economics under commercial conditions. The aseptic packing of milk in Tetra Paks is discussed in detail. An account of experimental work on different laminates for this type of milk, and their effect on flavour changes, will be explained. The author's views on future trends in the packaging of milk are indicated.
