 Free Download Sufi Deleuze: Secretions of Islamic Atheism by Michael Muhammad Knight English | February 7, 2023 | ISBN: 153150180X, 1531501818 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 3.3 MB "There is always an atheism to be extracted from a religion," Deleuze and Guattari write in their final collaboration, What Is Philosophy? Their claim that Christianity "secretes" atheism "more than any other religion," however, reflects the limits of their archive. Theological projects seeking to engage Deleuze remain embedded within Christian theologies and intellectual histories; whether they embrace, resist, or negotiate with Deleuze's atheism, the atheism in question remains one extracted from Christian theology, a Christian atheism. In Sufi Deleuze, Michael Muhammad Knight offers an intervention, engaging Deleuzian questions and themes from within Islamic tradition.
 Free Download Success of University Spin-Offs: Network Activities and Moderating Effects of Internal Communication and Adhocracy By Manoj A. Gupte (auth.) 2007 | 259 Pages | ISBN: 3835008536 | PDF | 2 MB University spin-offs encourage economic development and support universities. Identifying factors that influence the success of university spin-offs is therefore beneficial to enhance economic development and to sustain the importance of universities. However, few factors internal to the company have been identified until now. Drawing on a database of 107 university spin-offs whose founders participated in structured face-to-face interviews, Manoj A. Gupte analyzes how the management of university spin-offs can overcome the dilemma of resource poverty. He shows that the success of spin-offs can be actively influenced through network activities by accessing critical resources external to the company. In addition, internal communication and an adhocracy culture create an environment in which the growth of a spin-off through external resources is enhanced. The hypotheses of the study were tested by moderated multiple regression analyses (OLS). Interaction effects were, furthermore, analyzed by simple slope analyses.  Free Download Success in Changing Environments: Strategies and Key Influencing Factors By Manuela Stoll (auth.) 2007 | 229 Pages | ISBN: 3835005154 | PDF | 4 MB To ensure their long-term survival and prosperity, many industries have to deal with increasingly dynamic and complex environments. Due to this situation, they are confronted with major challenges. Manuela Stoll investigates why some firms cope with change successfully, while others do not. She focuses on two strategies to address change: adapting to change and creating change. Using a large-scale survey among top executives of manufacturing firms in Germany, she evaluates the importance of a range of resources, competences, and "isolating mechanisms" (shields against imitation) for the success of these strategies. The results show that adapting to change has an important effect on firm performance and is mainly influenced by a firm's industry foresight abilities. A separate analysis illustrates how these abilities can be strengthened.
 Free Download Subsumption in Kant, Hegel and Marx: From the Critique of Reason to the Critique of Society by Andres Saenz de Sicilia English | 2025 | ISBN: 9004713816 | 270 Pages | PDF | 8.1 MB  Free Download Guus Kroonen, "Sub-Indo-European Europe: Problems, Methods, Results " English | ISBN: 3111337057 | 2024 | 450 pages | PDF | 60 MB The dispersal of the Indo-European language family from the third millennium BCE is thought to have dramatically altered Europe's linguistic landscape. Many of the preexisting languages are assumed to have been lost, as Indo-European languages, including Greek, Latin, Celtic, Germanic, Baltic, Slavic and Armenian, dominate in much of Western Eurasia from historical times. To elucidate the linguistic encounters resulting from the Indo-Europeanization process, this volume evaluates the lexical evidence for prehistoric language contact in multiple Indo-European subgroups, at the same time taking a critical stance to approaches that have been applied to this problem in the past.  Free Download Studies on Women's Health By Kaïs Hussain Al-Gubory (auth.), Ashok Agarwal, Nabil Aziz, Botros Rizk (eds.) 2013 | 364 Pages | ISBN: 1627030409 | PDF | 5 MB This volume covers data describing the role of free radicals and antioxidants that deal with clinical and pre-clinical trials, as well as basic research in the area of women's health. There is increasing evidence that oxidative stress is a causative, or at least a supporting factor in female pathology and infertility. During advancing gestational age, oxidative stress biomakers rise. Oxidative stress plays a regulatory role in transcription, signal transduction, gene expression and membrane trafficking. A search on Pub Med shows 449 papers have been published to date related to women's health disorders and use of antioxidants in a variety of disease that are prevalent in women, such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, obesity and restless leg syndrome.  Free Download Studies on Arthritis and Joint Disorders By Yves Henrotin, Ali Mobasheri (auth.), Maria Jose Alcaraz, Oreste Gualillo, Olga Sánchez-Pernaute (eds.) 2013 | 411 Pages | ISBN: 1461461650 | PDF | 5 MB This next volume in our established series proposes to systematically review the basic science and clinical knowledge of the role of free radicals and antioxidants, collectively known as "oxidative stress", in the pathology of arthritis and other joint diseases. It will describe the most current diagnostic tools , laboratory methods and technology, to suggest ways of prevention and treatment and to emphasize the concept of the bench-to-bedside approach. The book will also provide specific coverage on emerging technology and medical applications including discussions of biomarkers and antioxidants as therapeutic agents and several more relevant aspects. In addition, the book will promote the concept of using biomarkers representative of oxidative stress reactions and free radical damage , as well as describe the effect of antioxidants in treating disease in clinical trials. The content will be valuable to researchers studying the development of arthritis/joint disease, and clinicians treating patients with these diagnoses.  Free Download Studies in Oat Evolution: A Man's Life with Avena By Gideon Ladizinsky (auth.) 2012 | 87 Pages | ISBN: 3642305466 | PDF | 2 MB The book is based on the author's life time experience in exploring and researching the genus Avena. It describes some great events in oat research and minor stories along the way. It will be of interest and value to all those working with oats and to students and scientists of crop evolution, including those dealing with collecting and conserving wild genetic resources.A first part deals with the morphology and taxonomy of the genus and a classification based on the biological species concept is presented. A further part is devoted to the author's research accomplishments in this genus. It describes morphological characters distinguishing between diploids and tetraploids of series Eubarbatae, the genetic relationships between them, and the mode of origin of the tetraploid form. The section Denticulatae, to which the common oat belongs, is extensively treated. Further, oat domestication and the newly domesticated protein rich A. magna are described. A third part deals with wild genetic resources of oat.
