 Altars Restored: The Changing Face of English Religious Worship, 1547-c.1700 By Kenneth Fincham; Nicholas Tyacke 2008 | 396 Pages | ISBN: 019820700X | PDF | 6 MB Altars are powerful symbols, fraught with meaning, but during the early modern period they became a religious battleground. Attacked by reformers in the mid-sixteenth century because of their allegedly idolatrous associations with the Catholic sacrifice of the mass, a hundred years later they served to divide Protestants due to their re-introduction by Archbishop Laud and his associates as part of a counter-reforming program. Moreover, having subsequently been removed by the victorious puritans, they gradually came back after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. This book explores these developments, over a 150 year period, and recaptures the experience of the ordinary parishioner in this crucial period of religious change. Far from being the passive recipients of changes imposed from above, the laity are revealed as actively engaged from the early days of the Reformation, as zealous iconoclasts or their Catholic opponents -- a division later translated into competing protestant views.Altars Restoredintegrates the worlds of theological debate, church politics and government, and parish practice and belief, which are often studied in isolation from one another. It draws from hitherto largely untapped sources, notably the surviving artefactual evidence comprising communion tables and rails, fonts, images in stained glass, paintings and plates, and examines the riches of local parish records -- especially churchwardens' accounts. The result is a richly textured study of religious change at both local and national level.

Further, InAs is a perfect candidate for the HEMT device architecture owing to its peak electron mobility.Advanced Indium Arsenide-based HEMT Architectures for Terahertz Applicationscharacterizes the HEMT based on InAs III-V material to achieve outstanding current and frequency performance. This book explains different types of device architectures available to enhance performance including InAs-based single gate (SG) HEMT and double gate (DG) HEMT. The noise analysis of InAs-based SG and DG-HEMT is also discussed. The main goal of this book is to characterize the InAs device to achieve terahertz frequency regime with proper device parameters.

 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1032044098 | 209 pages | True PDF | 11.25 MB The Covid-19 pandemic prompted healthcare systems around the globe to quickly explore and subsequently adopt digital health technologies and virtual care models that had been slowly growing in mainstream acceptance throughout the decade prior. In particular, telemedicine use skyrocketed as healthcare organizations and governments needed to provide access to infection risk-free health services. Telemedicine has been around in its current form for nearly two decades but grew significantly in utilization after the rapid acceleration of internet and smartphone adoption in the 2010s, and again in 2020 due to Covid-19. Beyond traditional audio-visual telemedicine modalities, newer, more advanced models of tech-enabled clinical services have begun to gain popularity. Fueled by ubiquitous modern telecommunication technologies (e.g., the Smartphone), a growing dissatisfaction with healthcare services among patients, and increasing chronic disease epidemics in developed countries, models like remote patient monitoring (RPM) and other hybrid virtual care models have entered the clinical toolbox. RPM-based care models can fill the gaps of transactional telemedicine in order to deliver longitudinal care appropriate for patients with chronic conditions. Despite the apparent recent acceleration of interest in and adoption of RPM-based virtual care models, substantial research exists on RPM covering patient reported outcomes, clinical effectiveness, and economic factors.
 A Straight Talking Introduction to the Power Threat Meaning Framework: An alternative to psychiatric diagnosis (The Straight Talking Introduction series) by Mary Boyle and Lucy Johnstone English | Nov 12, 2020 | ISBN: 1910919713 | 252 pages | PDF + EPUB | 1 + 1,5 MB The current mainstream way of describing psychological and emotional distress assumes it is the result of medical illnesses that need diagnosing and treating. This book summarises a powerful alternative to psychiatric diagnosis that asks not 'What's wrong with you?' but 'What's happened to you?' The Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF) was co-produced by a core group of psychologists and service users and launched in 2018, prompting considerable interest in the UK and worldwide. It argues that emotional distress, unusual experiences and many forms of troubled or troubling behaviour are understandable when viewed in the context of a person's life and circumstances, the cultural and social norms we are expected to live up to and the degree to which we are exposed to trauma, abuse, injustice and inequality. The PTMF offers all of us the tools to create new, hopeful narratives about the reasons for our distress that are not based on psychiatric diagnosis and to find ways forward as individuals, families, social groups and whole societies.

 999 Exercises to Strengthen your Vocabulary Power for the SAT, ACT, GMAT, and GRE (Master English Vocabulary) by Talia Swinton English | December 10, 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08QBYKD8D | 500 pages | EPUB | 0.18 Mb If you want to improve or build up your word power and vocabulary in the English language, you have come to the right place. Whether you want to level up your communication skills for business purposes, for a new job, to help you pick up a new course at school or at university faster, for recreational and entertainment purposes (for example, watching Netflix without subtitles!), or just because you think English is cool, the thousand exercises in this book will help you get from good to great, quickly! Grammar rules, word patterns, etymology, and word lengths are all available to help you guess the word in each puzzle, and the difficult levels up slowly for adaptive learning.Most books that help you prepare for the SAT or the GRE are either compendia or word lists and flashcards, or have multiple choice questions on the lines of those featured in these tests.Very few books concentrate on fun exercises to build up the skills required to become better, organically, at verbal and vocabulary skills in English. This book fills the gap.Within this book, you will find multiple fun games and exercises that help you recognize patterns and guess some of the harder words on the tests, and link them to their definitions.Here are a few key features of the approach used:1. Gamification: In each part of each exercise, you are given a set of clues about a word, one of which is always linked to its definition. This gamification approach is key to making you come back, Exercise Set after Exercise Set, to master hundreds of useful new words by the end of the entire book.2. Pattern recognition: The clues are carefully chosen so that they link to key properties of a word that help you remember it quickly in a test scenario. For example, the first letter of a word, its length, and its approximate meaning are all patterns that help us create mental shortcuts to quick + intuitive guesses. These are exactly what the word clues are based on, and they will benefit you in skill building, through an indirect approach - just like working out a group of muscles in the gym gives you muscle gains weeks later!3. Graded difficulty increase: The pool of words used for this book is carefully curated - you will start off with challenging but commonly used words for the most part, and graduate to more obscure words in a slowly staged manner. All the while, we will sprinkle in a few words related to those you have mastered in earlier Exercise Sets, so that you are able to build on what you have learnt earlier. By the end of the book, you will be ready for anything that a real standardized test can throw at you - both in terms of skills and confidence.4. Unique proprietary format: The format of questions used in this book cannot be found anywhere else - it has been tried and tested with thousands of students, and works every single time.Whether you are looking to strengthen your verbal skills in English for a test, or just looking to do this out of interest, this book is for you.
