ECHOES OF REVOLUTION: NICARAGUA by Maria-Tania Bandes-Becerra Weingarden with Translations by Hector Garza. This book is broken up into five primary sections corresponding to very specific political climates in Nicaragua: The Colonial Period, Yanqui Imperialism, Sandinista, Democracy, and a segment that focuses on more contemporary trends within the democratic political temperament. Each chapter has a portion that discusses some political underscores of said era, some discussion on the theatre that emerges of said political era, and the ones that contain a translated work include a brief introduction to the playwright and play chosen to exemplify the political era discussed. The three plays in this volume are LOOK INTO MY EYES by Luis Harold Agurto, PEASANTS by Pablo Antonio Cuadra, and DARK ROOT OF THE SCREAM by Alfredo Valessi. This book is part of the Dreaming the Americas Series from NoPassport Press.
This textbook offers a unique introduction to hydraulics and fluid mechanics through more than 100 exercises, with guided solutions, which students will find valuable in preparation for their preliminary or qualifying exams and for testing their grasp of the subject. In some exercises two different solution methods are proposed, to highlight the fact that the level of complexity of the calculations is often linked to the choice of method, though in most cases only the simplest method is presented. The exercises are organized by subject, covering forces on planes and curved surfaces; floating bodies; exercises that require the application of linear and angular momentum balancing in inertial and non-inertial references; pipeline systems, with particular applications to industrial plants; hydraulic systems with machines (pumps and turbines); transient phenomena in pipelines; and uniform and gradually varied flows in open channels. The book also features appendices that contain selecteddata and formulas of practical interest. Instructors of courses that address one or all of the above topics will find the exercises of great help in preparing their courses, while researchers will find the book useful as an accessible summary of the topics covered.

Tone desjat let, u nee est snegokat i tverdaja uverennost v tom, chto glavnoe v zhizni - "skorost i samouvazhenie". A esche u Toni est luchshij drug - starik Gunvald, kotoryj pechet dlja nee keksy i igraet ej na skripke. "Gunvald, chto by ty delal bez menja?" - chasto sprashivaet Tonja. "Ja by sam zakopal sebja v zemlju i sdokh", - otvechaet Gunvald"."Tonja Glimmerdal", vtoraja kniga Marii Parr, - eto povest o nastojaschej druzhbe i o tom, chto inogda deti okazyvajutsja namnogo mudree vzroslykh, pomogaja im primiritsja so svoim proshlym i radovatsja nastojaschemu.Norvezhskaja detskaja pisatelnitsa Marija Parr - avtor trekh knig, trekh absoljutnykh mirovykh bestsellerov: "Vafelnoe serdtse", "Tonja Glimmerdal" i "Vratar i more" (prodolzhenie "Vafelnogo serdtsa"), - vse oni perevedeny bolee chem na 20 jazykov i prodajutsja mnogotysjachnymi tirazhami.
Tonje är det enda barnet i Glimmerdalen och den tuffaste tjejen dalen har skådat. Hennes bästa vän är Gunnvald, 74 år. De känner varandra utan och innan. Eller gör de det?
Numera har kunskapen hos forskarna haft en framgångsrik utveckling ifråga om behandling av de utsatta patienterna. Sjuklighet och död har minskat. Att tänka stort beskriver forskning som utfördes under 1950 1970-talen. Den visar att förändringar i tumörcellerna och arvsmassan gör att cellerna negligerar omgivningens signaler. Celldelningen var förödande, tills man upptäckte kontrollmekanismerna. Historien om tumörbiologi centreras i denna bok kring Georg och Eva Kleins forskningsinsatser. De kom till Sverige i slutet av 1940-talet och bara tio år senare stod institutionen för tumörbiologi klar. Den blev under 25 år ledande inom denna forskning både i Sverige och internationellt. En rad vetenskapliga publikationer från institutionen underströk makarna Kleins stora betydelse. Vetenskapen revolutionerades och forskare från hela världen lockades dit och till samarbeten. Makarna samarbetade men agerade samtidigt individuellt. Georg hann därtill skriva en rad böcker, vilket behandlas särskilt i ett separat kapitel av Eva Dickson.Författarna till boken, Eva Maria Fenyö och Birgitta Åsjö, är båda professorer i virologi på Lunds universitet respektive universitetet i Bergen. De har båda arbetat med makarna Klein. Eva Dickson är journalist och författare. Hon har bl.a. utgivit en bok tillsammans med Georg Klein.
Språk: Polska Tonje Glimmerdal är det enda barnet i Glimmerdalen. Hon ska snart ska fylla tio och lever efter mottot "full fart och gott självförtroende". Hennes bästis är Gunnvald, en gammal gubbe som har tid att prata, skapar mirakelmusik på sin fiol och hjälper henne att laga kälken. Och det är han som har lärt henne svischa ner för det branta berget, ända ner till fjärden. Tonje tror att hon vet allt om Gunnvald, men när han hamnar på sjukhus upptäcker hon att han har en hemlighet.
Vad konst är upptar våra tankar. Konsten finns i vår verklighet och den påverkar oss oavsett om vi vill det eller inte. Konsten ger oss oerhörda upplevelser samtidigt som den rådbråkar och gnager, skaver och retar. Konsten förändras, undflyr bestämningar och kräver uppmärksamhet. Det finns otaliga sätt att uppfatta och tolka konstens fenomen, form och betydelse. Konstforskaren Maria Hirvi-Ijäs undersöker olika förhållningssätt till konstens varande, dess samhällsroll och dess form av vetande. Hon gör försök i att tänka konst kring teori och praktik, bland annat genom verk av Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Heikki Marila och Linda & Aura. Dessa försök, essäer, har kommit till i olika situationer och är relaterade till olika händelser, diskussioner, läsningar och tolkningar. Samlingens åtta essäer är inte direkt kopplade till varandra, även om de i vissa fall går omlott i fråga om tema, källor och tankegångar. Den äldsta texten är skriven under våren 2010, den senaste under vintern 2024. Här ges de ut för första gången på svenska.Usein aprikoimme, mitä taide on. Se on osa todellisuuttamme, ja se vaikuttaa meihin, halusimme tai emme. Taide pakenee määritelmiä ja muuttuu alati. Se vaatii huomiotamme ja tarjoaa suurenmoisia elämyksiä mutta se myös kiusaa, hiertää ja härnää meitä. Taiteen ilmiöitä, muotoja ja merkityksiä voi hahmottaa ja tulkita lukemattomin tavoin.Taiteentutkija Maria Hirvi-Ijäs tarkastelee esseissään erilaisia tapoja suhtautua taiteeseen, sen yhteiskunnalliseen rooliin ja sen muotoon tietona. Hän pohtii taiteen olemusta sekä teoreettisesti että käytännön esimerkkien - muun muassa Eija-Liisa Ahtilan, Heikki Marilan ja taiteilijaduo Lindan & Auran teosten - kautta. Vaikka kokoelman kahdeksan esseetä ovat kytköksissä eri tapahtumiin, keskusteluihin ja luentoihin, ne limittyvät toisiinsa temaattisesti. Vanhin kirjoituksista on keväältä 2010 ja tuorein on kirjoitettu alkuvuonna 2024. Tässä kirjassa ne julkaistaan ensimmäistä kertaa ruotsiksi.
Il forte interesse e la grande ammirazione verso tutto ci che era Orientale, cre nel XIX secolo uno dei capitoli pi complessi della storia intellettuale europea. Si tratt di un fenomeno assai diffuso a causa dello spiccato interesse per tutto quanto fosse orientale e per alcune caratteristiche in particolare: l'arte, la falconeria, i divertimenti (soprattutto danza del ventre). Si giunse perfino a deporre l'abito europeo per preferire quello orientale. Molte personalit lo fecero: il pittore David, l'archeologo Belzoni, l'avventuriero Laurence d'Arabia, per citarne solo alcuni. Si trascurarono, per , alcuni degli aspetti fondamentali di quella cultura; a volte si fin anche per ironizzarne. Manc spesso il rispetto per una cultura considerata piuttosto folkloristica e quel che peggio, si trascur la condizione assai precaria che la donna ricopriva in quella societ . Ossessione per una terra ed una cultura che, in fondo, non si conosceva affatto, ma che spinse tanti europei a travestirsi da arabi... Nelle vicende narrate in questa che una saga tribale, non si incontreranno solo figure storiche realmente esistite, ma anche personaggi partoriti dalla fantasia, perch il tema AMORE e PASSIONE - AVVENTURA e AZIONE - STORIA e MITO - FANTASIA e MISTERO
A beautifully designed, fact-filled fold-out book on Antarctica. John, an intrepid journalist, has long dreamt of visiting Antarctica - and finally his dream is coming true. He's off to Antarctica to be part of a scientific expedition. Join him on his journey as he learns all about this amazing continent and the people who work there.
Today, many of us live in a world of plenty. Yet many forget how lucky they are, what they have and fail to see the beauty around them. Yet sometimes life is not perfect. Also in such moments it is important to pay attention on positive things and beauty. Those help one to cope with difficulties. No matter how hard life hits you, seeing beauty, dreaming and appreciating small positive things helps keeping on track. This book offers a journey and tools for noticing beautiful things in our lives and seeing how wonderful the world is. Beauty is not only about objects, expensive cars or the most beautiful face. Small everyday things, even a cup of tea in the morning sun light, can be beautiful. And most of the beauty in life is free. Most of us are luckier than we realise. The book is a concrete tool for increasing beauty in life, for observation, gaining insight and for reflecting own life. Enjoy the journey
A food allergen has the ability to first elicit an IgE response, and then, on subsequent exposures, a clinical response to the same or similar protein. How harmless food protein becomes recognized by the mucosal immune system as an allergen remains an open question and more data are needed to explain how regulatory mechanisms of the mucosal immune system fail and result in allergic sensitization to dietary antigens.Some biochemical characteristics associated with food allergens, such as the presence of multiple, linear IgE-binding epitopes and the resistance of the protein to digestion and processing, seem to predominate among food allergens. Digestion susceptibility of food allergens that sensitize via the gastrointestinal tract and stability to food processing conditions are inherently related to protein structural features. Thereby, physiological changes in the digestion process, pathological conditions affecting digestion, as well as procedures and food processing conditions that affect protein structure may all have a profound effect on the sensitizing potential and allergenicity of food proteins. In addition, signals coming from the diet and micro biome can modulate regulatory mechanisms of the mucosal immune system and influence mucosal immunity and intestinal barrier function.The detection of allergenic ingredients in food products has received increased attention from the food industry and legislative and regulatory agencies over recent years. This has resulted in the improvement of applied safety measures that provide protection for food-allergic consumers and development of sensitive and highly specific analytical methods of food allergens detection. Food allergy is an important and common health issue and therefore there is a need to characterize the sensitizing potential of newly introduced proteins in genetically engineered foods. A combination of in vitro and in silico methods provide information thatcontributes to safety assessment. Suitable in vivo models may provide a more holistic assessment of allergenic potential of novel food proteins.
