Ada Thilén och hennes landskap

Kvinnor som satsade på konstnärsyrket i slutet av 1800-talet stod inför många utmaningar. Hela samhället var patriarkaliskt uppbyggt och det manliga konstetablissemanget var oftast direkt fientligt mot kvinnliga konstnärer. Utan starka band till vänner och familj hade Ada Thilén knappast valt konstnärsbanan.Christian Sundgren presenterar landskaps- och porträttmålaren Ada Thilén (1852 - 1933) och hennes roll i kvinnornas kamp för att hävda sig som yrkeskonstnärer. Ada har hamnat i skuggan av sina mer kända målarsystrar trots att hon i mångt och mycket var den som höll ihop kärntruppen. Brevväxlingen mellan Ada och målarsystrarna avslöjar hur engagerade och initierade de var i aktuella samhällsfrågor under de turbulenta åren kring sekelskiftet 1900. Den konstutbildning och de influenser hon och hennes kollegor fick i Frankrike gav dem styrka att förnya konsten. Men deras insats var större än så. Tack vare sitt målmedvetna arbete vitaliserade de samhället, lyfte fram kvinnan i konsten och gav henne synlighet. I Frankrike väckte deras självständiga konstnärskap beundran. I Finland medverkade de till att kvinnorna fick rösträtt och banade väg för kvinnans jämställdhet.Landskapsmålningarna, porträtten och skisserna i boken berättar om Adas talang och produktion, om en värdig konstnär under konstens guldålder i Finland.

Tacticity Tailored ROP of rac-Lactide & CO2/Epoxide Copolymerization

Tacticity Tailored ROP of rac-Lactide & CO2/Epoxide Copolymerization

The properties of polylactic acid (PLA) are influenced by molecular weight, distribution, and tacticity. Among the different tacticity forms, stereoblock isotactic and isotactic-enriched PLA exhibit superior mechanical properties, making them suitable for various applications. In contrast, heterotactic-enriched and atactic PLAs have limited use. Isotactic PLA is typically produced through the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide using enantiopure monomers, while isotactic-stereoblock PLA can be synthesized from rac-lactide using a chiral catalyst that selectively favors one enantiomer. However, both methods are economically challenging due to the high costs of enantiopure monomers and chiral catalysts. This study aims to develop an achiral ligand framework for a more cost-effective catalyst, enabling lower production costs. The stereocontrolled ROP of rac-lactide with an achiral catalyst operates via a chain-end control mechanism and relies heavily on catalyst design. Previous literature has linked PLA chain tacticity to the metal center employed and the ligand's steric and electronic characteristics. Our research focuses on establishing the relationship between the PLA chain's tacticity and the symmetry of the catalyst framework. Additionally, aliphatic polycarbonates (APCs) are biodegradable polymers formed through the ROCOP of CO2 with epoxides, leading to kinetically stable APCs. Key factors affecting the formation of APCs include catalyst type, cocatalyst nature, and other environmental parameters. Our research emphasizes synthesizing organometallic compounds based on aluminum, zinc, and magnesium, using iminophenolate-based achiral ligands. We aim to optimize the ROCOP of epoxides and CO2 to favor aliphatic polycarbonate production.

The Nine Tailors

The Nine Tailors

Dorothy L. Sayers

HARPER PAPERBACKS
1966

The Nine Tailors is Dorothy L. Sayers's finest mystery, featuring Lord Peter Whimsey, and a classic of the genre. The nine tellerstrokes from the belfry of an ancient country church toll out the death of an unknown man and call the famous Lord Peter Whimsey to investigate the good and evil that lurks in every person. Steeped in the atmosphere of a quiet parish in the strange, flat fen-country of East Anglia, this is a tale of suspense, character, and mood by an author critics and readers rate as one of the great masters of the mystery novel.

Alexander De Grand

Alongside Georges Clemenceau and David Lloyd George, Giovanni Giolitti (1842-1928) stands out as one of the major liberal reformers of late 19th- and early 20th-century Europe. In the first complete English-language study of Giolitti, De Grand examines the political life of Italy's most notable prime minister after Cavour. Giolitti emerges not as a transitional figure leading fledgling Italy into modern democracy, but as a staunch adherent of 19th-century elitist liberalism trying to navigate the new tide of mass politics. De Grand's careful research offers valuable insight into Giolitti as statesman and, through him, a vantage point on the development of Italy during a critical period. Giolitti's troubled relationship with mass politics defined his years in office. A life-long bureaucrat aloof from the electorate, Giolitti introduced near universal male suffrage—even while commenting that first teaching everyone to read and write would be a more reasonable route—and tolerated labor strikes. Rather than reform the state as a concession to populism, however, Giolitti sought to accommodate the politics of the piazza under the roof of liberal parliamentarianism, first in his pursuit of coalitions with Socialist and Catholic groups, and finally, at the end of his political life, in a failed courtship with Fascism.

The Valiant Little Tailor

The classic Grimms’ fairy tale of the valiant little tailor, as you’ve never read it before “A creative take on storytelling, suggesting the potential in even the most familiar tale, with Chevillard riffing comfortably across subject-matters and stories old and new.”—M. A.Orthofer, Complete Review Once upon a time, there lived a valiant little tailor who killed seven flies with one blow—but who is this narrator who has abruptly inserted himself into the story, claiming authorship? He’s indignant: the fairy tale, borne carelessly along by the popular imagination, subjected to the transformations of oral tradition, was collected in a lamentable state by the Brothers Grimm, and he intends to restore the tale and its giant-slaying, unicorn-fighting, boar-hunting star to their original magnificence. But the true hero of the story remains to be seen: Is it the tailor, the narrator, or someone else entirely? In this explosive retelling of the classic tale, Éric Chevillard enlists the reader in a dizzying game of crack-the-whip, with new directions and delights in every paragraph. At once irreverent and deeply sincere, this book is a mischievous, multifarious celebration of the power of stories and those who tell them.

This intriguing book introduces the first Social Security reform proposal tailored to meet the nation’s fiscal challenges and care for an aging population.Tackling one of the most difficult and divisive issues facing America today, A Well-Tailored Safety Net: The Only Fair and Sensible Way to Save Social Security seeks to transform the political debate over Social Security reform by introducing the first proposal tailored to meet both the nation's fiscal challenges and the responsibility of caring for an aging population.As the first batch of 77 million baby boomers begins to collect its social security benefits in the midst of the explosion of national debt from economic recovery expenditures, Social Security reform becomes increasingly urgent. Jed Graham takes apart each of the current leading proposals and shows how all of them fall short by the key criteria of affordability, effectiveness, and fairness. Graham proposes a bold new approach that would erase more debt than any other proposal, yet avoid benefit cuts in very old age, when people can least afford them. Short on actuary speak and long on common sense, A Well-Tailored Safety Net makes the Social Security debate accessible to general readers. At the same time, it advances innovative solutions with such command of analytic detail and ideological impartiality as to merit serious study by legislators and policymakers.More than 50 charts and tables detail the debate over Social Security reform, including the cash benefits retirees would get under various proposals

Over the past few years, concrete technology has advanced quite dramatically thanks to the use of a great variety of additives and admixtures, which have paved the way for the effective development of new-generation concrete mixtures. Among these additives and admixtures, nanomaterials used in construction materials such as paste, mortar, and concrete mixtures have become very popular recently. Much of the previous attention in regard to the utilization of nanomaterials in construction materials was specifically devoted to the characterization of their fresh-state, hydration, microstructure, pore structure, mechanical, transport, and durability properties. However, research into the tailoring of multi-functional properties of construction materials (especially cementitious) with the use of nanomaterials is still in its infancy. Recent Advances in Nano-Tailored Multi-Functional Cementitious Composites aims to capture recent major scientific advances and the current state of the art in multi-functional cementitious composites developed with nanomaterials. The book will provide researchers, engineers, and other stakeholders with an insight into future directions of multi-functional capabilities of cementitious composites. Chapters focus on the large-scale development, characterization, and application of multi-functional cementitious composites addressing the following topics: nano-modified concrete; strain-hardening cementitious composites; self-sensing concrete; self-healing and bacteria-based concrete; self-cleaning concrete; self-consolidating concrete; material/construction technology for 3D printing; thermal insulation capability; green concretes including geopolymer concrete; nanoscale characterization methods; low CO2 reactive magnesia cements; and future developments and challenges of nano-tailored cementitious composites. The book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, and civil engineers working on the development and application of nano-tailored multi-functional cementitious composites.
