From an award-winning writer and linguist, a scientific and personal meditation on the phenomenon of language loss and the possibility of renewal.

Language is an important part of adaptation to a new culture, and immigrants everywhere face pressure to assimilate. Recognizing this tension, Sedivy set out to un...
Uninsured risk had far-reaching consequences for rural growth as well as poverty reduction. A range of informal mechanisms to insure rural households against the impact of shocks, but they are a modest component of a risk layering strategy for well-off households and even less protective for low-income households. Formal insurance mechanisms have inherent market imperfections. State interventions to address these limitations have proven costly and generally are targeted poorly. Recent developments in microfinance as well as in insurance marketing have opened new possibilities for household risk reduction. Index insurance, such as weather indexing, addresses other inherent problems in insuran...
This open access book focuses on practical clinical problems that are frequently encountered in stroke rehabilitation. Consequences of diseases, e.g. impairments and activity limitations, are addressed in rehabilitation with the overall goal to reduce disability and promote participation. Based on the available best external evidence, clinical pathways are described for stroke rehabilitation bridging the gap between clinical evidence and clinical decision-making. The clinical pathways answer the questions which rehabilitation treatment options are beneficial to overcome specific impairment constellations and activity limitations and are well acceptable to stroke survivors, as well as when an...
Este livro procura abordar o atual tema do vídeo sob demanda, VoD, relacionando-o com o mercado de vídeo doméstico e com os hábitos atuais do espectador/consumidor para visualização de vídeos. A tecnologia do vídeo sob demanda está ficando a cada dia mais democrática e importante para se assistir filmes, séries, programas televisivos, etc., na sociedade contemporânea, por intermédio da internet, muitas vezes por meio do streaming de vídeo. Analisamos como a tecnologia do VoD está modificando o modo de assistirmos e consumirmos produtos audiovisuais, saindo dos meios convencionais como a TV aberta, TV a cabo e o cinema. O VoD está mudando a experiência do espectador, alterando os hábitos e as práticas sociais que envolvem a cultura da televisão tradicional e do cinema, e por isso são analisadas as formas de comunicação, interatividade e conectividade dos usuários das plataformas de vídeo sob demanda com os produtos culturais.
