Jewish Literatures in Spanish and Portuguese
This volume offers a thorough introduction to Jewish world literatures in Spanish and Portuguese, which not only addresses the coexistence of cultures, but also the functions of a literary and linguistic space of negotiation in this context. From the Middle Ages to present day, the compendium explores the main Jewish chapters within Spanish- and Portuguese-language world literature, whether from Europe, Latin America, or other parts of the world. No comprehensive survey of this area has been undertaken so far. Yet only a broad focus of this kind can show how diasporic Jewish literatures have been (and are ) – while closely tied to their own traditions – deeply intertwined with local and global literary developments; and how the aesthetic praxis they introduced played a decisive, formative role in the history of literature. With this epistemic claim, the volume aims at steering clear of isolationist approaches to Jewish literatures.

Value Hacking
Conventional thinking argues that business is a finite game played in stable and well-defined industries where winner companies develop and sustain a competitive advantage over rivals. Lately, even being different, competing and winning is no longer enough. You have to disrupt something. It seams that disruption is the buzzword to define the new mantra of business today, which means taking the ideal of competition to the extreme. In short, the purpose of any company has historically been focused on making money by competing much better than others.But is that the only way of doing business? And is that the wisest way? In my opinion, no. Competition is only half of the picture when it comes t...
Ascenso social y crisis política en Castilla c. 1300
Este libro se propone reflexionar sobre los procesos de ascenso social y su relación con los periodos de crisis política. El campo de estudio se sitúa en la Castilla medieval y en la profunda crisis política que se desarrolló en las últimas décadas del siglo XIII y las primeras del XIV. Para ello, se toma como caso de estudio el de un oficial regio que, procedente de una familia de la nobleza media (lo que se viene llamando nobleza regional castellana), ascendió hasta los niveles más altos de la nobleza; es decir, alcanzó la ricahombría. Se trata de Juan Rodríguez de Rojas, merino y adelantado mayor de Castilla entre 1293 y 1301. Se estudia su actividad política y su carrera al servicio del rey, también sus redes sociales, así como sus dominios. Además, se sitúa al personaje estudiado en su contexto familiar dentro del grupo familiar de los Rojas y se traza con cierto detalle la trayectoria de su familia, tanto sus ascendientes, como sus descendientes más próximos, puesto que sus vínculos de parentesco contribuyen a explicar también su ascenso social.
Patrons, Partisans, and Palace Intrigues
Palace intrigues and clientelism drove politics at the viceregal court of colonial Mexico. By carefully reconstructing social networks in the court of Viceroy Duke of Alburquerque (1702-1710), Christoph Rosenm ller reveals that the Duke presided over one of the most corrupt viceregal terms in Mexican history. Alburquerque was appointed by Spain's King Philip V at a time when expanding state power was beginning to meet with opposition in colonial Mexico. The Duke and his retainers, though seemingly working for the crown, actually built close alliances with locals to thwart the reform efforts emanating from Spain. Alburquerque collaborated with contraband traders and opposed the secularization...
Function and Regulation of Chemoreceptors
To perceive environmental chemical compounds and to convert these external signals into an intracellular message might be the oldest way for a living being to get information from the outside world. Chemoreceptors are proteins or protein complexes that detect molecules from the outside world either at distance (olfaction) or at close range (gustation). Chemoreceptors can operate as ionotropic or as metabotropic receptors. Ionotropic receptors form ion channels that are activated via ligand binding. Activation of a metabotropic receptor initiates an intracellular signaling cascade that could include a change of enzymatic activity, production of second messenger or activation of ion channels. The receptor performance has to be fine-tuned according to the actual physiological requirements and the presentation of the chemical signal. This Research Topic collects reports and reviews on structure and function of chemoreceptors in the animal kingdom, and how these receptors are regulated.
