Female Agency and Documentary Strategies: Subjectivities, Identity and Activism By Boel Ulfsdotter (editor), Anna Backman Rogers (editor) 2018 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 147441947X | PDF | 11 MB This book, like its twin volume Female Authorship and the Documentary Image, centres on pressing issues in relation to female authorship in contemporary documentary practices. Addressing the politics of representation and authorship both behind and in front of the camera, a range of international scholars now expand the theoretical and practical framework informing the current scholarship on documentary cinema, which has so far neglected questions of gender. Female Agency and Documentary Strategies centres on how self-portraiture and contemporary documentary manifestations such as blogging and the prevalent usage of social media shape and inform female subjectivities and claims to truth. The book examines the scope of authorship and agency open to women using these technologies as a form of activism, centring on notions of relationality, selfhood and subjectivity, and includes interviews with Hong Kong based activist filmmaker and scholar Vivian Wenli Lin and Spanish documentarist Mercedes Alvarez.
Fast Facts: Multiple Sclerosis: A new era of disease modification and treatment English | 2021 | ISBN: 3318067970 | 191 Pages | EPUB (True) | 7 MB Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a leading cause of disability in young adults, carrying a considerable individual and societal economic burden. The development of disease-modifying therapies and updates to diagnostic criteria are leading us into a new era for MS management, both in the earliest disease phases and progressive MS. In this completely revised/fully updated edition of Fast Facts: Multiple Sclerosis, we present the most recent evidence on disease pathogenesis and all clinical aspects of the condition, as well as the latest on disease-modifying therapies and other potential treatments. Given the need for multidisciplinary management of MS, we have written this resource for the benefit of all health professionals involved in MS care. Table of Contents: * Epidemiology and genetics * Pathology * The clinical picture * Treatment of relapses and symptoms * Disease-modifying treatment * Emerging therapies * Special MS populations * Lifestyle considerations and the multidisciplinary team * Advanced MS Anita Yasuda, "Explore Norse Myths!: With 25 Great Projects" English | ISBN: 1619303205 | 2015 | 96 pages | EPUB | 19 MB The stories of Norse myths and legends are a terrific introduction to Viking culture, history, science, and traditions, which thrived in Scandinavia from the eighth to the eleventh centuries. But who were the Norse, who left their homelands in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden to trade, raid, and explore around the world? In Explore Norse Myths! With 25 Great Projects, young readers discover the remarkable people and mythical creatures of old.

Katch, "Essentials of Exercise Physiology, 4th Edition" English | 2010 | ISBN: 1608312674 | 790 pages | PDF | 51.5 MB Essentials of Exercise Physiology offers a compact version of the Seventh Edition of the bestselling Exercise Physiology: Nutrition, Energy, and Human Performance, making it ideal for introductory undergraduate courses. As students progress through the text, they will develop a deep understanding of the interrelationships among energy intake, energy transfer during exercise, and the physiologic systems that support energy transfer. Moreover, they will discover how to apply what they have learned to enhance exercise training, athletic performance, and health. Essentials of Audiology by Stanley A. Gelfand;Lauren Calandruccio; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1684203988 | 592 pages | True PDF EPUB | 110.94 MB Essential Process Control for Chemical Engineers English | 2017 | ISBN: 978-87-403-1655-1 | 286 pages | EPUB | 5.47 MB This book covers almost all of the process control material required to meet the IChemE's recommended syllabus for a general career in chemical engineering. The first section is on instrumentation, including control valves and plant communications. Several chapters then descibe P&I diagrams, the concept of feedback control and introduce the main types of simple dynamic response that can be seen in chemical plant. The next section of the book is concerned with analysis and covers dynamic modelling, the PID algorithm, control system analysis and controller tuning. The last three chapters look at more advanced single loop control, control system design and control system architecture. The book is based on class notes that have been developed over the past four years and has benefited from lots of useful student feedback. Engineering Maths First-Aid Kit By Tony Croft 2000 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 0130874302 | PDF | 2 MB A few words from the author . . .Over the past three years I have tried to offer mathematical support to many hundreds ofstudents in the early stages of their degree programmes in engineering.On many, many occasions I have found that gaps in mathematical knowledge impede progressboth in engineering mathematics and also in some of the engineering topics that the students arestudying. Sometimes these gaps arise because they have long-since forgotten basic techniques.Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, they seem to have never met certain fundamentals in theirprevious studies. Whatever the underlying reasons, the only practical remedy is to have availableresources which can quickly get to the heart of the problem, which can outline a technique orformula or important results, and, importantly, which students can take away with them. ThisEngineering Maths First-Aid Kit is my attempt at addressing this need.I am well aware that an approach such as this is not ideal. What many students need is aprolonged and structured course in basic mathematical techniques, when all the foundationscan be properly laid and there is time to practice and develop confidence. Piecemeal attemptsat helping a student do not really get to the root of the underlying problem. Nevertheless Isee this Kit as a realistic and practical damage-limitation exercise, which can provide sufficientsticking plaster to enable the student to continue with the other aspects of their studies whichare more important to them.I have used help leaflets similar to these in the Mathematics Learning Support Centre at Loughborough.They are particularly useful at busy times when I may have just a few minutes totry to help a student, and I would like to revise a topic briefly, and then provide a few simplepractice exercises. You should realise that these leaflets are not an attempt to put together acoherent course in engineering mathematics, they are not an attempt to replace a textbook, norare they intended to be comprehensive in their treatment of individual topics. They are what Isay - elements of a First-Aid kit.I hope that some of your students find that they ease the pain!Tony CroftDecember 1999 |
