Abortion Services and Reproductive Justice in Rural South Africa
by Ulandi du Plessis Catriona Ida MacleodFocuses on the challenges faced in accessing and providing abortion services in rural areas, even under progressive abortion legislationAccessing abortion services in rural areas under conditions of liberal abortion legislation is neither straightforward nor simple. As the South African example shows, the liberalization of abortion legislation was the first step in granting pregnant persons access to abortion care. Despite this and some progress in implementation, many challenges persist resulting in a lack of services, especially in areas where distances and transport costs are a factor.Drawing on the findings of a study conducted in three rural districts of the Eastern Cape, the authors highlight the complexities involved in understanding problematic or unwanted pregnancies and abortion services within these communities; the reported barriers to, and facilitators of, access to abortion services among rural populations; and preferences for types of abortion services.A key finding is the conundrum of costs versus confidentiality: lack of confidentiality involves additional costs to access services outside the area; high costs mean that confidentiality may have to be foregone, which leads to stigma. The authors place the findings within a reparative reproductive justice framework and present a comprehensive set of recommendations. Abortion Services and Reproductive Justice in Rural South Africa is an insightful and informative resource – the first of its kind – for scholars in health and sociology, reproductive health policy makers, national planners, health facility managers and providers, and activists.
Black and Brown: African Americans and the Mexican Revolution, 1910-1920 (American History and Culture #9)
by Gerald HorneHonorable Mention for 2005 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book AwardBrings to light the lives of Black Americans living along the Mexican border during and immediately after the Mexican RevolutionThe Mexican Revolution was a defining moment in the history of race relations, impacting both Mexican and African Americans. For Black Westerners, 1910–1920 did not represent the clear-cut promise of populist power, but a reordering of the complex social hierarchy which had, since the nineteenth century, granted them greater freedom in the borderlands than in the rest of the United States.Despite its lasting significance, the story of Black Americans along the Mexican border has been sorely underreported in the annals of U.S. history. Gerald Horne brings the tale to life in Black and Brown. Drawing on archives on both sides of the border, a host of cutting-edge studies and oral histories, Horne chronicles the political currents which created and then undermined the Mexican border as a relative safe haven for African Americans. His account addresses Black people's role as “Indian fighters,” the relationship between African Americans and immigrants, and the U.S. government's growing fear of Black disloyalty. He also considers how the heavy reliance of the U.S. on Black soldiers along the border placed white supremacy and national security on a collision course that was ultimately resolved in favor of the latter. Mining a forgotten chapter in American history, Black and Brown offers tremendous insight into the past and future of race relations along the Mexican border.
Jews, Slaves, and the Slave Trade: Setting the Record Straight (New Perspectives on Jewish Studies #6)
by Eli FaberLays to rest the controversial myth of Jewish involvement in the slave tradeIn the wake of the civil rights movement, a great divide opened up between African American and Jewish communities. What was historically a harmonious and supportive relationship suffered from a powerful and oft-repeated legend, that Jews controlled and masterminded the slave trade and owned slaves on a large scale, well in excess of their own proportion in the population.In this groundbreaking book, likely to stand as the definitive word on the subject, Eli Faber cuts through this cloud of mystification to recapture an important chapter in both Jewish and African diasporic history.Focusing on the British empire, Faber assesses the extent to which Jews participated in the institution of slavery through investment in slave trading companies, ownership of slave ships, commercial activity as merchants who sold slaves upon their arrival from Africa, and direct ownership of slaves. His unprecedented original research utilizes shipping and tax records, stock-transfer ledgers, censuses, slave registers, and synagogue records. These materials reveal, once and for all, the minimal nature of Jews' involvement in the subjugation of Africans in the Americas.A crucial corrective, Jews, Slaves, and the Slave Trade lays to rest one of the most contested historical controversies of our time.

The Paradox of Connection: How Digital Media Is Transforming Journalistic Labor
by Diana Bossio Valérie Bélair-Gagnon Avery E. Holton Logan MolyneuxUsing a framework of online connection and disconnection, The Paradox of Connection examines how journalists’ practices are formed, negotiated, and maintained in dynamic social media environments. The interactions of journalists with the technological, social, and cultural features of online and social media environments have shaped new values and competencies--and the combination of these factors influence online work practices. Merging case studies with analysis, the authors show how the tactics of online connection and disconnection interact with the complex realities of working in today’s media environments. The result is an insightful portrait of fast-changing journalistic practices and their implications for both audiences and professional identities and norms.

Spoken Discourse Impairments in the Neurogenic Populations: A State-of-the-Art, Contemporary Approach
by Anthony Pak-Hin KongThis comprehensive volume provides balanced and easily readable chapters on contemporary topics around discourse production in patients with neurogenic disorders. Discourse broadly refers to a unit of language longer than a single sentence, typically used in a spoken or written format to express ideas, feelings, and opinions or to interact with others. As the field of research in speech-language pathology, aphasia and related neurogenic disorders, and clinical decision-making to manage neurogenic impairments is rapidly expanding, there has been an increased focus on discourse analysis and therapy to enable patients to speak well again. Various user groups and people with lived experience (e.g., aphasia, dementia, traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere damage, etc.) are also increasingly focused on the impact of neurogenic impairments on domains of conversation and changes in language skills beyond the smaller linguistic components of single words and sentences that are traditionally supported by speech-language therapy. The first part of this book details and discusses the basic principles, historical perspectives (history and developmental milestones), neural basis, and recent evolutions and advancement of discourse analysis in speakers with acquired communication disorders. The second part of the book outlines and illustrates current methods for discourse elicitation and analysis across different clinical populations. Recent leaps forward in technology that can assist in the recording, processing, and analysis of discourse will be highlighted. The final part of book reviews and summarizes key developments of various evidenced-based training strategies, interventions, and treatment programs, as well as utilization of innovative technology to clinically improve neurogenic disordered discourse. This is an ideal guide for researchers, clinicians, and students in the field of communication sciences and disorders, speech and language therapy, gerontology, (neuro-)linguistics, psychology, and related fields in clinical medicine.

The Law Regulating Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the United States, South Africa and Kenya: A Civil Aviation Perspective
by Manana Wanyonyi RodgersThis book evaluates how the legal, institutional and policy frameworks for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the United States, South Africa and Kenya have addressed the current needs and challenges involved in these systems’ operation and integration into regulatory frameworks for civil aviation. It shows how the three states have developed their own constitutional frameworks, legislation, regulations, policies and strategic plans to address the challenges that emanate from integrating UAS into the civil aviation airspace.The book details the three countries’ integration experiences, investigating the extent to which existing international regulatory frameworks address the various concerns, and identifies the common thread that runs through UAS regulation, as well as each country’s unique issues and path to integration. Recognizing that the approach for integration of UAS into civil aviation needs to be gradual and pragmatic, the book recommends scaling up institutional capacity, coordination and funding, and intensifying regional efforts to redefine and support UAS integration.
Wirkstoffdesign: Entwurf und Wirkung von Arzneistoffen
by Gerhard KlebeDie vorliegende 3. Auflage bringt das Thema Wirkstoffdesign wieder auf den aktuellen Stand der Forschung. Der Leser lernt neue Methoden in der Gentechnologie und die erweiterte Palette strukturbiologischer Verfahren kennen. Gerade die letzten 10 Jahre wurden durch Einsatz dieser Methoden viele komplexe Zielstrukturen wie die G-Protein gekoppelten Rezeptoren oder Ionenkanälen aufgeklärt. Der Leser erfährt wie diese lange ersehnten Komplexstrukturen mit klassischen Arzneistoffen aussehen und wie die therapeutische Wirkung erzielt wird. Im Wirkstoffdesign ist die räumliche Struktur der interagierenden Moleküle von zentraler Bedeutung. Hier liegt der Schlüssel, warum ein bestimmter Wirkstoff in seiner Gestalt praktisch durch die Geometrie und den Wirkmechanismus des Zielproteins festgelegt wird. Daher wurden die Farbabbildungen in der 3. Auflage neu gestaltet und mit Videos verknüpft, die direkt über QR-Codes neben den Abbildungen mit üblichen Handys oder Tablets ohne weitere App aufgerufen werden. Die bewegten Moleküldarstellungen geben dem Leser einen leichten Zugang zum räumlichen Verständnis der molekularen Strukturen und Interaktionen. Dieses Lehrbuch wurde ursprünglich von Hans-Joachim Böhm, Gerhard Klebe und Hugo Kubinyi begründet und richtet sich an Studierende der Pharmazie, Chemie und der Biowissenschaften, aber auch an Quereinsteiger und Medizinische Chemiker in Forschungs- und Entwicklungsabteilungen der Pharmazeutischen Industrie. Es wurde mit dem Literaturpreis des Fonds der Chemischen Industrie ausgezeichnet. Konzeptionell hebt es sich sehr stark von klassischen Lehrbüchern der pharmazeutischen Chemie ab und rückt den Weg zum neuen Arzneistoff in den Mittelpunkt. Die Auswahl der Fallbeispiele erfolgte nach didaktischen Gesichtspunkten und versucht einen weiten Überblick über Methoden und Strategien zu geben ohne den Blick zurück auf die Anfänge dieses Arbeitsgebiet zu vergessen. So spannt sich der Bogen von der Geschichte der Arzneimittelforschung, den Wirkmechanismen der Arzneistoffe und den Methoden zur Leitstruktursuche und -optimierung über Strukturbestimmungsverfahren, Modelling, Moleküldynamik und QSAR-Methoden bis zum struktur- und computergestützten Design. In der 3. Auflage kommen neue Methoden und Konzepte wie die Epigenetik, der PROTAC-Ansatz, die CRISPR-Cas9-Genschere, Strukturvorhersagen aus der Sequenz, der Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz und neue Screening-Technologien aus der Biophysik zur Sprache. Erfolge beim Stören bzw. Verstärken von Protein-Protein-Wechselwirkungen als Konzept der Arzneistofftherapie werden vorgestellt und Überlegungen zur Optimierung von Arzneistoffen unter Berücksichtigung ihrer thermodynamischen wie kinetischen Bindungsprofile werden diskutiert.Videos per App: einfach die SN More Media App kostenfrei herunterladen, einen Link mit dem Play-Button scannen und sofort das video auf Smartphone oder Tablet ausspiele.
