Finance Capitalism and Income Inequality in the Contemporary Global Economy: A Comparative Study of the USA, South Korea, Argentina and Sweden English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031217675 | 348 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 10 MB Field-Theoretic Simulations in Soft Matter and Quantum Fluids by Fredrickson, Glenn H.;Delaney, Kris T.; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0192847481 | 399 pages | True PDF | 7.68 MB Liza Taylor, "Feminism in Coalition: Thinking with US Women of Color Feminism" English | ISBN: 1478016515 | 2022 | 304 pages | PDF | 5 MB In Feminism in Coalition Liza Taylor examines how US women of color feminists' coalitional politics provides an indispensable resource to contemporary political theory, feminist studies, and intersectional social justice activism. Taylor charts the theorization of coalition in the work of Bernice Johnson Reagon, Audre Lorde, Barbara Smith, the Combahee River Collective, Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, and others. For these activist-scholars, coalition is a dangerous struggle that emerges from a shared political commitment to undermining oppression and an emphasis on self-transformation. Taylor shows how their coalitional understandings of group politics, identity, consciousness, and scholarship have transformed how activists and theorists build alliances across race, class, gender, sexuality, faith, and ethnicity to tackle systems of domination. Their coalitional politics enrich current discussions surrounding the impetus and longevity of effective activism, present robust theoretical accounts of political subject formation and political consciousness, and demonstrate the promise of collective modes of scholarship. In this way, women of color feminists have been formulating solutions to long-standing problems in political theory. By illustrating coalition's vitality to a variety of practical and philosophical interdisciplinary discussions, Taylor encourages us to rethink feminist and political theory. Family Firms and Business Families in Cross-cultural Perspective: Bringing Anthropology Back in English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031205243 | 443 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB This edited volume provides an anthropological study of family businesses and business families. In previous research on family firms and business families, the comparative cross-cultural approach of anthropology has so far received little attention. As a result, family firms and business families are too often analyzed without considering cultural and kinship differences adequately. Similarly, although the topics of kinship and the economy are central to anthropological analysis, research on family firms and business families has been a marginal topic only that lacks in-depth discussions within anthropology. This volume breaks the mold by offering new empirical and theoretical insights into discussion about business families and family firms from a comparative cross-cultural perspective. It first addresses how the business family can be defined in different cultures and how kinship becomes understandable as a process and through 'doing family'. In this, the book provides a systematic comparison of the connections between family, kinship and economic activity in different cultures, whereas many of the previous studies have concentrated on only one or a few regions or cultures. It also shows the complexities and challenges when grounding the analysis of economic activity and entrepreneurship in cultural context. Facilitated Transport Membranes (FTMs) for CO2 Capture: Overview and Future Trends English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031214439 | 453 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 31 MB This book highlights the importance of Facilitated Transport Membranes (FTMs) for the application of carbon capture, covering its introduction, gas transport phenomena and models, reaction mechanisms, industrial applications such as bio-gas upgradation, flue gas separation, hydrogen gas and natural gas purification, fabrication methods of both FTMs and their carrier mediums, testing/characterization techniques, techno-analysis with up-to-date trends and the future outlooks. Climate change and environmental impacts are resulted due to greenhouse gases, particularly CO2. The industrial revolution is currently causing the augmented emission of greenhouse gases. Therefore, various technologies are being looked at to overcome these problems. In which, membrane technology is key among them and is envisaged for many industrial applications, especially for gas separations and carbon capture. Considering this, FTMs are being actively investigated due to their remarkable gas separation performance.

Oren Tal, "Expressions of Cult in the Southern Levant in the Greco-Roman Period: Manifestations in Text and Material Culture (Conte" English | ISBN: 2503553354 | 2017 | 290 pages | PDF | 162 MB The coming of Alexander the Great ushered in many changes within the southern Levant. The subsequent period saw many upheavals, including the Greek and Roman conquests, the Jewish Revolts, and the gradual Christianization of the 'Holy Land'. Throughout this period, various local cults and cultic places dotted the landscape. These cults included an assortment of 'pagan', Jewish, Samaritan, and Christian ritual behaviours. Although undergoing processes of profound change, the cults maintained much of their older identities, while simultaneously interacting with each other. This volume seeks to present these processes both synchronically and diachronically, along three different axes-cultic places, personnel, and objects. The common denominator shared by these three axes is the people whose beliefs and practices shaped the religious behaviour in the Greco-Roman Southern Levant. The 26 articles in this volume investigate whether cultic practices formed a coherent cultural system. They consider the co-existence and competition of the different religious systems, analyzing them in terms of continuity, discontinuity, and change over an extended period of time, roughly from Alexander the Great to the Imperial integration of Christianity (ca. late 4th c. BCE - early 4th c. CE). The approaches presented at a conference held at The Institute for Advanced Studies, Jerusalem and manifested in this volume are varied and interdisciplinary, combining archaeological, philological, historical, and art-historical analyses of the multiple bodies of evidence. Exploratory Analysis of Spatial and Temporal dаta: A Systematic Approach by Natalia Andrienko , Gennady Andrienko English | PDF | 2006 | 712 Pages | ISBN : 3540259945 | 9.2 MB Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is about detecting and describing patterns, trends, and relations in data, motivated by certain purposes of investigation. As something relevant is detected in data, new questions arise, causing specific parts to be viewed in more detail. So EDA has a significant appeal: it involves hypothesis generation rather than mere hypothesis testing. |
