On the Cusp of an Era
South Asian religious art became codified during the Ku a Period (ca. beginning of the 2nd to the mid 3rd century). Yet, to date, neither the chronology nor nature of Ku a Art, marked by great diversity, is well understood. The Ku a Empire was huge, stretching from Uzbekistan through northern India, and its multicultural artistic expressions became the fountainhead for much of South Asian Art. The premise of this book is that Ku a Art achieves greater clarity through analyses of the arts and cultures of the Pre- Ku a World, those lands becoming the Empire. Fourteen papers in this book by leading experts on regional topography and connective pathways; interregional, multicultural comparisons; art historical, archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic and textual studies represent the first coordinated effort having this focus.
In the Shadow of the Ancestors: The Prehistoric Foundations of the Early Arabian Civilization in Oman
This book, first published in 2007, offered the first and only summary of decades of archaeological research in the Oman Peninsula. The original eleven chapters are expanded and enhanced in this new edition by a number of new ‘windows’, written by a new generation of scholars, in order to include more recent research and interpretations.
Frontiers in Gynecological Endocrinology
This volume offers an up-to-date overview on the major areas of gynecological endocrinology, presenting the latest advances in adolescent gynecological endocrinology, assisted reproduction, menstrual-related disorders, sexuality and transsexualism, polycystic ovary syndrome, myometrial pathology and adenomyosis, obesity and metabolic syndrome, hormonal contraception, premature ovarian failure and menopause. In each chapter the recent advances deriving from basic science and clinical investigations are related to the practical management of the condition under consideration, taking into account the need for individualized therapies. The book is published within the ISGE Book Series, a joint venture between the International Society of Gynecological Endocrinology and Springer and is based on the 2014 International School of Gynecological and Reproductive Endocrinology Winter Course. It will be an important tool for obstetricians and gynecologists, endocrinologists and experts in women’s health as well as interested GPs.
Dynamics of the Il-2 Cytokine Network and T-cell Proliferation
This book adds to a intensively investigated question of immunological research. How do regulatory T cells mediate their function to ensure tolerance against self-antigen? The author analyzes the interaction via the cytokine interleukin 2 between T helper cells, which mediate immune responses, and regulatory T cells. Since both cell types depend on interleukin 2 to mediate their functions, competition for interleukin 2 is likely. A mathematical model is developed to describe the interaction. This model focuses on the interleukin 2 receptor dynamics on helper and regulatory T cells and the extracellular interleukin 2 diffusion. The interleukin 2 receptor dynamics is governed mainly by an auto...
The Ethnographic Optic
The Ethnographic Optic traces the surprising role of ethnography in French cinema in the 1960s and examines its place in several New Wave fictions and cinéma vérité documentaries during the final years of the French colonial empire. Focusing on prominent French filmmakers Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, and Alain Resnais, author Laure Astourian elucidates their striking pivot from centering their work on distant lands to scrutinizing their own French urban culture. As awareness of the ramifications of the shrinking empire grew within metropolitan France, these filmmakers turned inward what their similarly white, urban, bourgeois predecessors had long turned outward toward the colonies: the ethnographic gaze. Featuring some of the most canonical and best-loved films of the French tradition, such as Moi, un Noir, La jetée, and Muriel, this is an essential book for readers interested in national identity and cinema.
Research Methodology for Sport and Exercise Science
The book Research Methodology for Sport and Exercise Science is a comprehensive introduction to study and research. Besides an extensive introduction a research-logic program research is methodology presented in six parts: (I) Philosophical Foundations of Science and Research / (II) Research Methods / (III) Research Designs / (IV) Techniques of Data Collection / (V) Techniques of Data Analysis / (VI) Transfer from Research Results (Theory) to Practice. Thus a basic text-book is presented for students of sport and exercise as well as allied sciences, in order to get acquainted with the philosophy of sport science in general and research methodology in specific
Utoya
I've got goosebumps. One of us. It's horrendous. July 2011. A far-right terrorist has just massacred sixty-nine people, most of them students attending a Norwegian Labour Party Youth's summer camp on the island of Utoya. Gunnar and Malin have sent their daughter to the island, and desperately seek contact. On the farm next-door to the perpetrator's, Petter and Inga realise their suspicions about him are well-founded. At Central Command, Alf and Unni must decide on the best course of action in response to the attack. A searing reflection on the domestic effects of societal trauma, Edoardo Erba's Utoya offers a timely reminder of the threat of far-right extremism, inviting us to consider how tragedy can both bind people together and pull them further apart. This edition was published to coincide with the UK premiere at London's Arcola Theatre in August 2024.
