 Chocky (Penguin Modern Classics) by John Wyndham English | May 25, 2010 | ISBN: 014119149X | True EPUB | 160 pages | 2.8 MB Matthew's parents are worried. At eleven, he's much too old to have an imaginary friend, yet they find him talking to and arguing with a presence that even he admits is not physically there. This presence - Chocky - causes Matthew to ask difficult questions and say startling things: he speaks of complex mathematics and mocks human progress. Then, when Matthew does something incredible, it seems there is more than the imaginary about Chocky. Which is when others become interested and ask questions of their own: who is Chocky? And what could it want with an eleven-year-old boy?

Child- and youth welfare law in Germany: An overview for educators, psychologists, paediatricians and politicians by Manfred Günther English | PDF | 2022 | 71 Pages | ISBN : 3658382899 | 1.1 MB Taking into account the KJSG of June 2021, the author presents child and youth law with SGB VIII at its centre in a clear and compact manner. Analyses and commentary appear consistently up-to-date and comprehensible, as he largely dispenses with legalese. Readers - custodial parents, other guardians, young people concerned, social educators in institutions, students - and last but not least the committed "lobbyists" in the youth welfare committees - are thus provided with a quick, profound overview of the essential policy and practice-relevant positions; the focus is on legal entitlements: offers, services as well as important and useful general regulations of the German Social Code for Child and Youth Welfare.

Various methods to investigate directional cell growth and movements are presented in Chapters 1-20. These chapters contains experimental procedures to visualize and measure migration behaviors of different kinds of organisms, including chemotropism in the budding yeast; cell growth and migration of D. discoideum; border cell migration in Drosophila; chemotaxis of mouse and human neutrophils; and HIV-induced T cell chemotactic response. Chemotaxis: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition also contains microscopy procedures for studying breast cancer cell migration, tumor cell invasion in vivo, and axon guidance. The book concludes with Chapters 21-27 describing methods that measure spatiotemporal dynamics of signaling components involved in chemotaxis; introduce imaging techniques, such as TRIF, BRET, FRET, and single-molecule microscopy; and mathematical models of experimentally generated chemoattractant gradients. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.  Alexandra Zavos, "Changing Landscapes of Urban Citizenship: Southern Europe in Times of Crisis" English | ISBN: 0367592924 | 2020 | 134 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Since the 2008 financial crisis, politics of austerity in Europe have engendered far-reaching socioeconomic and political transformations. The recent refugee 'crisis' has also deeply affected the sociopolitical terrain. Contrary to past arguments about the reduced significance of the nation state, Europe is experiencing a resurgence of nationalisms. Simultaneously, often as a counter-response, several European cities are experiencing an emergence of social practices that claim urban politics as a dynamic field of action and contestation potentially transcending national boundaries. In the past, such practices tended to focus mainly on claims for the 'right to the city'. Currently, however, we observe a greater range of argumentations that re-signify the arena of urban citizenship. Through the entanglement of different scales and actors, emerging practices of solidarity and needs-based claims, and alliances between differently entitled subjects, involving both natives and foreigners, challenge and reshape institutions of governance and reactivate the field of urban politics against austerity and securitisation.
