Ananse und andere Erzählungen aus Afrika
Der Band entstand aus einer Kooperation von Erzählforschenden aus Benin, Ghana und Deutschland. Die Beiträge in deutscher und englischer Sprache beschäftigen sich mit Ananse, dem Spinnenmann, der zentralen Gestalt der westafrikanischen Erzähltradition sowie mit anderen Phänomenen der narrativen Kulturen in Afrika: Dabei werten sie schriftliches Material aus, präsentieren Quellen aus eigener Feldforschung, berichten über Projekte, bei denen mediale Umsetzungen von oralen Überlieferungen erprobt wurden: Rollenspiel und Theater in einer dörflichen Kommunität, zeichnerische Gestaltungen von Jugendlichen in einem städtischen Slum. Besondere Bedeutung kommt dem Film zu. Eine DVD mit Beispielen für die performative Transformation als Spielfilm ist beigefügt.
Die Rezeption ostasiatischer Charakteristika in der Spieltechnik zeitgenössischer Musik für Querflöteninstrumente
Erweiterte Spieltechniken kommen in der Flötenmusik ab Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts vermehrt zum Einsatz - teils um in den Kompositionen den Klang ostasiatischer Flöten nachzuahmen, teils um völlig neue Klangwelten zu erzeugen. Die Beschäftigung mit ostasiatischen Kulturen (China, Japan, Korea) in der zeitgenössischen Musik wird anhand von neun Kompositionen mit erweiterten Spieltechniken für Querflöteninstrumente untersucht. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, auf welche Weise ostasiatische spieltechnische Elemente aufgegriffen und in weiterer Folge integriert werden.
Bildungspilger
In der anthropologischen Forschung wurde bisher nur selten eine Verbindung zwischen den beiden Mobilitätsformen der transnationalen Studentenmobilität und der Pilgerfahrt hergestellt. Das vorliegende Buch Bildungspilger betrachtet somit die globale Mobilität der Studierenden aus einer neuen Perspektive: Durch die intensive anthropologische Arbeit mit taiwanesischen Musikstudierenden in Deutschland geht Hsin-Yi Li der Frage nach, warum heute viele junge asiatische Musiker/innen nach Deutschland kommen, um eine musikalische Ausbildung an der Deutschen Musikhochschule zu absolvieren. Anhand der individuellen Narrative der Studierenden gelingt es Li zu zeigen, dass die Musikausbildung in Deutschland eine Art Pilgerfahrt darstellt und dass dies die Auslandserfahrungen der Studierenden maßgeblich beeinflusst.
The State of the World's Children 2021
"The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about the mental health of a generation of children. But the pandemic may represent the tip of a mental health iceberg - an iceberg we have ignored for far too long. The State of the World's Children 2021 examines child, adolescent and caregiver mental health. It focuses on risks and protective factors at critical moments in the life course and delves into the social determinants that shape mental health and well-being."--publisher website.
Thyroid Autoimmunity
In 1956, three groups independently reported evidence that some thyroid disease appearing spontaneously in humans or experimentally induced in animals are related to autoimmune processes. The interval between these landmark discoveries and the present has witnessed a remarkable and continuing growth of both knowledge and concepts concerning the mechanisms of immune regulation, the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases, and their clinical and laboratory manifestations. More importantly knowledge of thyroid autoimmunity has, in many respects, comprised the vanguard of an ever increasing appreciation and understanding of autoimmune diseases in general. On November 24-26 1986, an Internati...

Worlds of Influence
For the last 20 years, the Innocenti Report Card series has led the way in comparing children's well-being across rich countries. Report Card 16 develops this further through a multi-level approach to show that children's well-being is influenced by children's own actions and relationships, by the networks and resources of their caregivers, and by public policies and the national context. This approach is aligned with the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, in that it recognizes the responsibilities of governments, families and communities to help realize children's rights and promote their well-being.
Consumer Knowledge and Financial Decisions
There has been an increasing recognition that financial knowledge (i.e., literacy) is lacking across the population. Moreover, there is recognition that this lack of knowledge poses real problems as credit, mortgages, health insurance, retirement benefits, and savings and investment decisions become increasingly complex. Financial Decisions Across the Lifespan brings together the work of scholars from various disciplines (family and consumer sciences, economics, law, finance, sociology, and public policy) to provide a broad range of perspectives on financial knowledge, financial decisions, and policies. For consistency across the volume each chapter follows a similar format: (1) what individuals know or need to know (2) how what they know or need to know affects financial decisions and outcomes (3) ways in which policies or programs or financial innovations can enhance their knowledge, or decisions, or outcomes. Contributors will provide both new and existing research to create a valuable picture of the state of financial literacy and how it can be improved.

Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
"Why are there no effective treatments for my condition? Why do researchers exclude patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis from enrolling in clinical trials? Please let me know if you hear of studies that I might be allowed to enter or treatments that I could try for my condition. " Thus, in recent years, the sad lament of the patient with primary progressive MS (PPMS). This variant, often in the guise of a chronic progressive myelopathy or, less commonly, progressive cerebellar or bulbar dysfunction, usually responds poorly to corticosteroids and rarely seems to benefit to a significant degree from intensive immunosuppressive treatments. In recent years, most randomized clin i...
