Words and Silences: Nenets Reindeer Herders and Russian Evangelical Missionaries in the Post-Soviet Arctic
by Laur VallikiviWords and Silences tells the story of an extraordinary group of independent Nenets reindeer herders in the northwest Russian Arctic. Under socialism these nomads managed to avoid the Soviet state and its institutions of collectivization, but soon after the atheist regime collapsed, while some staunchly resisted, many of them became fervent fundamentalist Christians. By exploring differing concepts of how traditional and convert Nenets use and define words and of the meanings they ascribe to the withholding of speech, Laur Vallikivi shows how a local form of global Christianity has emerged through intricate negotiations of self, sociality, and cosmology. Moving beyond studies of modernization and globalization that have all-too-predictable outcomes for indigenous peoples, Words and Silences invites us to view not only religious devotees, but words themselves, as agents of a complex and ongoing transformation.

Current Research in Archaeology of South American Pampas (The Latin American Studies Book Series)
by Gustavo Federico Bonnat María Clara Álvarez Diana Leonis Mazzanti María Paula Barros Mariano Bonomo Verónica PuenteThis volume includes a selection of papers derived from the IX Conference of the Pampas region of Argentina, held virtually in 2021 in Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and organized by the National University of Mar del Plata. Located in the southern cone of South America, the Pampas are vast plain grasslands that range across central Argentina and are one of the largest prairies of the world. The early traces of humans date back to ca. 12,200 14C years BP. From the Late Pleistocene up to the Spanish Conquest in the sixteenth century, hunter-gatherer groups occupied the Pampas. Archaeological research in the region has been focused on fascinating topics such as the early peopling, the mobility circuits in the past, the interaction between indigenous and colonial societies, and the perception of this complex past by the modern Pampean society, mainly integrated by European immigrants and indigenous descendants. This book gathers these themes and includes a selection of a conference of one of the keynote speakers and 18 papers that represent diverse topics on the current Pampean research. The book is structured in two main axes: 1) prehispanic studies using different lines of evidence; 2) historical archaeology and cultural heritage.
Hybrid-Powered Brain: Neuron World Empowered by Ketone Bodies
by Takumi SatohThis book unlocks the secrets of a powerful and sustainable brain, as well as explores the concept of a hybrid-powered brain and the transformative potential of the "Small Ketogenic" system.Supplying the brain with an ample energy substrate is vital for a positive mindset and a fulfilling day. Adequate energy fuels sharp thinking and clear judgement, while an energy-deficient brain leads to a variety of problems. Low blood glucose levels make it difficult to remember and amplify negative emotions. Delve into the brain's often-overlooked energy system to avoid these situations.The human brain functions on two energy systems: glucose from carbohydrates and ketone bodies from fats. These systems complement each other, and activating the hybrid system is surprisingly simple. Adopting the "Small Ketogenic" means extending the intervals between meals and allowing for a slight feeling of hunger within a reasonable range. This approach preserves cognitive function to the maximum.Inspired by the longevity of individuals in certain villages, the hybrid-powered brain enhances mental vitality. These villagers lead vibrant lives fuelled by their powerful minds. Maintaining ketone body concentrations between 0.2-0.5 mM ensures an active and calm brain. By making slight adjustments in eating habits, and adopting the "Small Ketogenic", we can achieve healthy longevity. This sustainable approach boosts the brain and promotes optimal health effects.Embark on a transformative journey of self-improvement and discover the true potential of your brain. This book revolutionises the way you perceive and care for your brain, leading you to a sustainable and fulfilling cognitive existence.

Exploring the Effectiveness of International Knowledge Cooperation: An Analysis of Selected Development Knowledge Actors
by Stephan Klingebiel Flora L. Hartmann Elisa Madani Jonas Paintner Rebekka A. Rohe Lisa Trebs Teodor WolkIn this open access book, we provide evidence to support the conceptual discussion of what constitutes “modalities of knowledge interaction” and suggest an analytical framework for effective knowledge cooperation. In practice, knowledge cooperation is realised through different modalities that serve as a toolbox to co-create, share and communicate knowledge among actors. Effective knowledge cooperation is crucial to addressing global challenges. It is increasingly attracting attention due to the rise of South–South Cooperation, to which it is central. Our empirical cases (Germany, India, Republic of Korea and Rwanda) comprise South-South cooperation and traditional development cooperation actors.
Police and State Crime in the Americas: Southern and Postcolonial Perspectives (Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies)
by Daniel Gascón Sebastián Sclofsky Xavier Perez Jhon Sanabria Analicia Mejia MesinasThis book advances a much-needed “postcolonial” framework in analyzing the police. It seeks to deepen our understanding of the police role in maintaining Western global domination throughout the American region despite the violent end of colonial rule. Building on Chevigny's (1995) classic study, this book seeks to draw renewed attention to the role of police in perpetrating state violence and serving as the tip of the spear of state power. It seeks to understand the construction of marginality and the multiple and intersecting structures of colonial domination, before shining a light directly on the crimes of the state, in an attempt to hold criminal state organizations to account. It draws on interdisciplinary perspectives and methodologies that center marginalized and colonized experiences and allows for the development of countercolonial knowledge. It speaks to academics and students in criminology, sociology, political science, and law, as well as toethnic and area studies programs, such as Chicano/Latino and Latin American Studies, and to police administrators and policymakers.

William Blake's Visions: Art, Hallucinations, Synaesthesia (Palgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine)
by David WorrallThis book is an inquiry into whether what Blake called his ‘visions’ can be attributed to recognizable perceptual phenomena. The conditions identified include visual hallucinations (some derived from migraine aura), and auditory and visual hallucinations derived from several types of synaesthesia. Over a long period of time, Blake has been celebrated as a ‘visionary,’ yet his ‘visions’ have not been discussed. Worrall draws on an understanding of neuroscience to examine both Blake’s visual art and writings, and discusses the lack of evidence pointing towards psychosis or pathological ill-health, thus questioning the rumours pertaining to Blake’s insanity.

Koordination des Produktionsanlaufs in globalen Produktionsnetzwerken: Kontextfaktoren, Probleme und Instrumente (mir-Edition)
by Simon DreherMit der netzwerkmäßigen Internationalisierung von Produktionsaktivitäten werden zwar Voraussetzungen für eine effektive und effiziente Produktion im globalen Wettbewerb geschaffen. Globale Produktionsnetzwerke erweisen sich allerdings bei kürzer werdenden Produktlebenszyklen und einer damit steigenden Bedeutung des Faktors Zeit als zunächst einmal kritisch hinsichtlich einer schnellen Markteinführung neuer Produkte. Denn gegenüber einer zentral angelegten Produktion sorgen sie je nach Konfiguration für einen gestiegenen und dabei zeitintensiveren Koordinationsbedarf. Das trifft insbesondere auf die Phase des Produktionsanlaufs neuer Produkte zu: In dieser zeitkritischen Phase ist nicht nur die typische Herausforderung einer Abstimmung zwischen dem Entwicklungs- und Produktionsbereich zu bewältigen; vielmehr gilt es eine zeitliche, qualitäts-, quantitäts- sowie kostenbezogene Abstimmung zwischen den international gestreuten und interdependenten Produktionsstandorten im Netzwerk herbeizuführen. Dieser zeitintensive Koordinationsbedarf steht jedoch in starkem Konflikt mit dem zunehmenden Zeitdruck aufgrund verkürzter Produktlebenszyklen. Eine zielgerichtete Koordination der am Anlauf beteiligten Unternehmensstandorte, -funktionen und -mitarbeiter mittels geeigneter Instrumente kann daher als Kernherausforderung des Managements globaler Produktionsnetzwerke bezeichnet werden; wird sie nicht bewältigt, ist nicht nur eine erfolgreiche Produkteinführung, sondern auch die vollständige Realisierung der Produktionsnetzwerken an sich innewohnenden Potenziale gefährdet. Bisherige Untersuchungen fokussieren überwiegend einzelne Koordinationsaspekte, wie technische Änderungen seitens der Entwicklung, oder Probleme der Lieferantenintegration aus interorganisationaler Perspektive. Dabei wird vernachlässigt, dass es sich bei Anläufen heutzutage nicht mehr um rein nationale Projekte handelt, sondern diese sich zu standortübergreifenden, internationalen Prozessen entwickelt haben. Ziel dieser Dissertation ist es daher, spezifisch das Einwirken der „internationalen Dimension“ globaler Produktionsnetzwerke auf die Koordination der Anlaufphase zu untersuchen. Hierzu wurde basierend auf dem Kontingenzansatz, einschlägiger Literatur und einer empirisch-basierten Vorstudie ein konzeptioneller Bezugsrahmen entwickelt, der im Wesentlichen aus drei Elementen besteht: (1) Kontextfaktoren des anlaufbezogenen Koordinationsbedarfs, (2) spezifische Koordinationsprobleme bei globalen Anläufen und (3) unterschiedliche Koordinationsinstrumente, von denen ein Beitrag zur Bewältigung der Probleme zu erwarten ist. Auf dieser Grundlage wurde in einem zweiten Schritt eine empirische Untersuchung durchgeführt. Mittels einer Mehrfachfallstudie konnten detaillierte Einblicke in die Zusammenhänge zwischen den Elementen des Bezugsrahmen gewonnen werden. Genauer wurde den Fragen nachgegangen, inwieweit sich in verschiedenen Netzwerkkonfigurationen Unterschiede in der Bedeutung einzelner Koordinationsprobleme und dem Einsatz von Koordinationsinstrumenten identifizieren lassen. Ausgehend davon wurden praktische Gestaltungsempfehlungen hinsichtlich der instrumentellen Handhabung von Koordinationsproblemen abgeleitet.
Religionspolitik und politische Religion in Japan und Europa: Debatten um Polytheismus, Nationalismus und Kolonialismus (Studien zu Literatur und Religion / Studies on Literature and Religion #8)
by Michael Mandelartz David WeißIn der neueren Debatte um das Wechselverhältnis von Religion und Politik hat Japan bislang keine Rolle gespielt; zu Unrecht, wie der vorliegende Band zeigt. Japan dürfte das einzige Land mit polytheistisch geprägter Kultur sein, das dem Imperialismus erfolgreich Widerstand entgegensetzte. Mit dem Aufstieg zur Kolonialmacht und der Erhebung des Shintoismus zur Staatsreligion stellte es die Denkmuster europäischer Überlegenheit infrage. Die polytheistische Religion sollte in diesem Transformationsprozess die historische Kontinuität des neuen Staates verbürgen. Dabei stimmen die rhetorischen Strategien überraschend genau mit dem Rückgriff der deutschen Romantik auf vermeintliche ‚Ursprünge‘ überein. Religiöse Symbolsprachen sind interpretationsoffen gegenüber politischen Deutungen, auch quer zur Unterscheidung von poly- und monotheistischen Religionen. Dies zeigt der Band in fünf Fallstudien von Germanisten und Japanologen.

Introduction to Social Cognition: The Essential Questions and Ideas
by Gordon B. MoskowitzWhy are first impressions so powerful? How do we &“know&” what others are like when we cannot read their minds? How can scientists measure biases that people do not want to admit--or do not know they have? This engaging text delves into social cognition by exploring major questions in the field through an everyday lens. Students are introduced to core concepts and processes pertaining to how people come to know themselves and understand the behavior of others. Classic and contemporary findings and experimental methods are explained. The text connects the research to pressing contemporary problems--the roots of political polarization, why even rational people fall prey to misinformation, and the best ways to reduce prejudice. Boxed definitions of key terms are included throughout.

Odes: With Carmen Saeculare
by HoraceHorace's Odes enjoys a long tradition of translation into English, most famously in versions that seek to replicate the quantitative rhythms of the Latin verse in rhymed quatrains. Stanley Lombardo, one of our preeminent translators of classical literature, now gives us a Horace for our own day that focuses on the dynamics, sense, and tone of the Odes, while still respecting its architectonic qualities.In addition to notes on each of the odes, Anthony Corbeill offers an Introduction that sketches the poet's tumultuous political and literary careers, highlights the Odes' intricate construction and thematic breadth, and identifies some qualities of this work that shed light on a disputed question in its reception: Are these poems or lyrics?This dual-language edition will prove a boon to students of classical civilization, Roman literature, and lovers of one of the great masters of Latin verse. The Amazon Kindle and other flowing-text eBook editions include the text of the Latin originals at the end of the book and the line numbers are enclosed in square brackets and embedded at the end of lines.
