2019 Thomas McGann Award for best publication in Latin American Studies In late nineteenth-century Mexico a woman's presence in the home was a marker of middle-class identity. However, as economic conditions declined during the Mexican Revolution and jobs traditionally held by women disappeared, a growing number of women began to look for work outside the domestic sphere. As these "angels of the home" began to take office jobs, middle-class identity became more porous. To understand how office workers shaped middle-class identities in Mexico, From Angel to Office Worker examines the material conditions of women's work and analyzes how women themselves reconfigured public debates over their e...

The theoretical background of this work is concerning with the drug loaded polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) modified by the host-guest interaction of biocompatible hyperbranched core-shell glycopolymers. The glycopolymer in this work is the hyperbranched polyethyleneimine that was modified with maltose moieties using reductive amination. Thus, the use of glycohyperbranched polymers for drug delivery would allow the avoid naturally occurring drug resistance due to decreased transporter activity. Concerning preparative method, PEM was fabricated using layer-by-layer (LbL) processes involve the sequential deposition of two polyions that physically bond together. Control was taken on the stoichiometric ratio related to cationic and anionic repeating units, which was chosen close to zero for the final applied PEM. Concerning analytical methods, a couple of physical-chemical methods were applied to characterize colloid stability, adhesiveness, drug loading and release of fabricated PEM. In conclusion, a highly sable and sustainable PEM coats on a surface of an activated solid substrate has been fabricated with an efficient ability to recycle the charged molecule for more than 24 times.

This volume explores the nature of human agency, including both its vitality and its vulnerabilities. The book identifies emancipatory sources of agency under conditions of domination and oppression, and it suggests a new, pluralist way to understand political freedom. Non-sovereign freedom should be conceived in a plural way because it takes diverse forms, happens in many different places, and aims at a variety of ends. The book reconstructs liberal individualism in fundamental ways. It offers new categories for conceiving human action, personal responsibility, and the meaning of liberty.
