This volume offers new perspectives on knowledge production through various forms of togetherness. Via diverse cases of collaboration in media studies, from methodological contemplations to on‐the‐field social practices, the book proposes reflections and inquiries around collective research, media, and action. The collection rethinks how scholarly endeavours feature different ways of doing and being together, identifying new and more diverse communicative spaces, challenging dichotomies, and encouraging critical perspectives. Scholars of a variety of disciplines recontextualise collaboration beyond the very nature of conventional academic approaches, to embrace vast connotations of media...
Smart Textiles from Natural Resources is an interdisciplinary guide to best practice and emerging challenges in the use of natural textiles in smart applications. The movement towards smart textiles has attracted researchers from many fields creating multidisciplinary research frontiers with nanoscience, smart materials and structures, microelectronics, and wireless communication. This ground-breaking book provides technical advice and foundational support to researchers from all of these backgrounds seeking to include sustainability in their solutions.Each chapter in this book is written, reviewed and edited to cover the principles of manufacture, process techniques and mechanisms, and the state-of-the-art construction specifications, properties, test methods and standards of the major product areas and applications of this field. - Covers a wide variety of novel applications of smart textiles, including medical, protective, and automotive - Proposed solutions are based on case studies from academic and industrial labs around the world - Explains how to improve the biodegradability, renewability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity of smart products
The first days of October. The sun rising over the brown-tiled houses that looked like they had been stacked on top of each other and then toppled over, was like a lethargic servant waking people up reluctantly for a new day. as if. The sunlight touching the roofs of the houses now reveals all the flaws. The day is afraid of the night, and the night is afraid of the day; because it does not last long and they constantly reveal each other's secrets... These days, Çinçin is almost non-existent. Not as a piece of land, of course; but with the people who lived there leaving it, leaving it abandoned. What a huge pile of rubble is left now. The remaining large area is almost skyscraper-style housing estates as far as the eye can see… Despite such a large construction site, there is no sign of life. My heart truly aches. Would you like to hear from me about this neighborhood where thousands of people live but there is no sound? 'Çinçin' and 'silence' are words from two different worlds that cannot come together! So let's start from the beginning…
1930 Municipality Election and 1946 General Election in Turkey were pretty similar, although there are 16 years behind them. In essence we can sum up two elections like this: One powerful Rulling Party( Republican People’s Party) against a promosing and suprisingly generally supported Opposition Party. In 1930 that Opposition was Free Republican Party which was founded by Ali Fethi (Okyar) Bey, an ex prime misinter, and had been supported by President Gazi Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk) Pasha himself. In parallel in 1946 that Opposition was Democrat Party which was founded by Celal Bayar, also an ex prime minister, which was somehow well received by President Ismet Inönü. Both of the Oppositio...
In the globalized era, a higher level of attention is given to various migration, immigration, and refugee movements. By undertaking research on these concepts, their impact on contemporary society can be better understood. Social Considerations of Migration Movements and Immigration Policies is a pivotal reference source for the latest scholarly material on the socio-economic effects of immigration and refugee crises on regional and international levels. Including a range of innovative perspectives such as peace building, political refugees, and civil protection, this book is ideally designed for researchers, academics, graduate students, policy makers, and practitioners interested in the social dimensions of migration and immigration policies.
Unstable social climates are causing the displacement of large numbers of people around the world. Thus, the issue of safe replacement arises, causing the need for examining and improving the policies and strategies regarding immigration and helping these individuals integrate into new societies. Immigration and Refugee Policy: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice is an authoritative resource for the latest research on the challenges, risks, and policies of current relocation and refugee flows and security problems, in relation to these aspects of immigration. Additionally, techniques for assimilating immigrants into important foundations of society, such as educational programs and healthcare systems, is examined. Highlighting a range of pertinent topics such as civil protection, humanitarian aid, and the refugee resettlement process, this publication is an ideal reference source for policymakers, managers, academicians, practitioners, and graduate-level students interested in current immigrant and refugee policies.
The complexities of nanotechnology often hamper the discoveries of nanomaterials and their wide range of applications. Researchers face the challenge of keeping up with the rapid development of new materials and figuring out how they can be most efficiently and safely used. As scientists continue to explore the unique properties of nanoparticles, nanofibers, and other nanostructures, there is a growing need for a comprehensive resource to guide them through this intricate landscape. Discovery, Disruption, and Future Implications of Nanomaterials is a book that provides a curated collection of cutting-edge research and insights into the strategic importance of nanomaterials. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, covering fundamental principles to advanced applications in areas such as biomedicine, electronics, energy, and more. The book focuses on carbon-based materials for water treatment, gene/drug delivery, and nanotechnology's role in various fields, equipping readers with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of nanomaterial development and implementation.
