Multiracial: The Kaleidoscope of Mixedness
by hephzibah v. strmic-pawlThe year 2000 was the first time the US Census permitted respondents to choose more than one race. Although the US has long recognized that a &“mixed-race&” population exists, the contemporary &“multiracial population&” presents different questions and implications for today&’s diverse society. This book is the first overview to bring a systematic critical race lens to the scholarship on mixedness. Avoiding the common pitfall of conflating &“mixed&” with &“multiracial,&” the book reveals how identity forms and fluctuates such that people with mixed heritage may identify as mixed, monoracial, and/or multiracial throughout their lives. It analyzes the dynamic and various manifestations of mixedness, including at the global level, to reveal its complex impact on both the structural and individual levels. Multiracial critically examinestopics such as family dynamics and racial socialization, multiraciality in media and popular culture, and intersections of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. Integrating diverse theories, qualitative research, and national-level data, this accessible and engaging book is essential for students of race and those looking to understand the new field of multiraciality.

It caters to a broad audience, appealing to those with a general interest in both music and astronomy, as well as to specialized individuals in either field of study.
Musical Variation: Toward a Transformational Perspective (Computational Music Science)
by Carlos de AlmadaThis book offers an in-depth analysis of musical variation through a systematic approach, heavily influenced by the principles of Grundgestalt and developed variations, both created by the Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951). The author introduces a new transformational-derivative model and the theory that supports it, specifically crafted for the examination of tonal music.The idea for this book emerged during a sabbatical at Columbia University, while the content is the product of extensive research conducted at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, resulting in the development of the Model of Derivative Analysis. This model places emphasis on the connections between musical entities rather than viewing them as separate entities. As a case study, the Intermezzo in A Major Op.118/2 by Brahms is selected for analysis.The author's goal is to provide a formal and structured approach while maintaining the text's readability and appeal for both musicians and mathematicians in the field of music theory. The book concludes with the author's recommendations for further research.

Narratives of Motherhood and Mothering in Fiction and Life Writing (Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Family and Intimate Life)
by Anna Williams Helena Wahlström Henriksson Margaretha FahlgrenThis open access volume offers original essays on how motherhood and mothering are represented in contemporary fiction and life writing across several national contexts. Providing a broad range of perspectives in terms of geopolitical places, thematic concerns, and theoretical and interdisciplinary approaches, it demonstrates the significance of literary narratives for understanding and critiquing motherhood and mothering as social phenomena and subjective experiences. The chapters contextualize motherhood and mothering in terms of their particular national and cultural location and analyze narratives about mothers who are firmly placed in one national context, as well as those who are in “in-between” positions due to migrant experiences. The contributions foreground and link together the themes central to the volume: embodied experience and maternal embodiment; notions of what is “normal” or natural (or not) about motherhood; maternal health and illness; mother-daughter relations; maternality and memory; and the (im)possibilities of giving voice to the mother. They raise questions about how motherhood and mothering are marked by absence and/or presence, as well as by profound ambivalences.
Natürliche Differenzierung im Arithmetikunterricht: Angebot und Nutzung von Lernangeboten in heterogenen Grundschulklassen (Mathematikdidaktik im Fokus)

Neue Wege im mathematischen Unterricht: Auf den Spuren Mathilde Vaertings (Paderborner Beiträge zur Didaktik der Mathematik)
by Gerda WerthMathilde Vaerting (1884 – 1977) möchte den Mathematikunterricht ihrer Zeit radikal verändern und mit ihrer Methode der „Selbständigkeitsprobe“ einen Weg aufzeigen, Schüler*innen durch geeignete kognitive Anregung zu eigenständigem Denken zu motivieren. Ihre „Neue[n] Wege im mathematischen Unterricht“ aus 1921 schließen dabei explizit Mädchen ein, obwohl diesen, nachdem sie seit 1908 endlich auch Mathematik an Schulen lernen durften, die Begabung für dieses Fach vielfach abgesprochen wurde. Das Buch arbeitet ihre didaktischen Konzepte sowie die schulischen und curricularen Rahmenbedingungen auf, auch in Bezug auf die Lehrerinnenbildung der damaligen Zeit.

An option of a Matlab user interface is also available.
Never Waste a Good Crisis: Lessons Learned from Data Fraud and Questionable Research Practices (ASA-CRC Series on Statistical Reasoning in Science and Society)
by Klaas SijtsmaThis book covers statistical consequences of breaches of research integrity such as fabrication and falsification of data, and researcher glitches summarized as questionable research practices. It is unique in that it discusses how unwarranted data manipulation harms research results and that questionable research practices are often caused by researchers’ inadequate mastery of the statistical methods and procedures they use for their data analysis. The author’s solution to prevent problems concerning the trustworthiness of research results, no matter how they originated, is to publish data in publicly available repositories and encourage researchers not trained as statisticians not to overestimate their statistical skills and resort to professional support from statisticians or methodologists.The author discusses some of his experiences concerning mutual trust, fear of repercussions, and the bystander effect as conditions limiting revelation of colleagues’ possible integrity breaches. He explains why people are unable to mimic real data and why data fabrication using statistical models stills falls short of credibility. Confirmatory and exploratory research and the usefulness of preregistration, and the counter-intuitivenature of statistics, are discussed.The author questions the usefulness of statistical advice concerning frequentist hypothesis testing, Bayes-factor use, alternative statistics education, and reduction of situational disturbances like performance pressure, as stand-alone means to reduce questionable research practices when researchers lack experience with statistics.An interview with the author can be found here: https://www.tilburguniversity.edu/magazine/overview/former-rector-sijtsma-turn-statistician-fight-fraud-and-sloppiness.
