On 14 March 2007 the peasants of Nandigram, a coastal area in West Bengal s East Medinipur district, were punished by their own State government for daring to oppose the government's plans to acquire 10,000 acres of farm land to set up a Special Economic Zone.// As thousands of women and children gathered to peacefully prevent government forces from entering their villages the police along with armed cadre of the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) unleashed a brutal assault that left 14 dead, several missing and hundreds of people injured. Particularly horrific were the tales of systematic sexual violence. // In the face of claims and counterclaims about the violence of 14 March, a gr...

Si les Dogon ont fait l’objet d’etudes bien documentees et publiees, les forgerons associes aux Dogon n’avaient fait jusqu’a ce jour l’objet d’aucune etude specifique. Cet ouvrage concerne la production traditionnelle du fer en pays dogon durant la periode comprise entre les derniers grands empires precoloniaux, au milieu du deuxieme millenaire de notre ere, et l’installation de la colonie francaise, au tournant des 19e et 20e siecles. Il vise a preciser l’identite des forgerons attaches aux Dogon et leur role, tant social que technique, de definir des traditions siderurgiques et de cerner l’evolution de la production du fer dans la region. Grace a une recherche tant actualiste que diachronique, et a la fois locale et extensive, qui associe diverses approches complementaires telles que les analyses des sources ecrites, les enquetes de tradition orale, les prospections et fouilles archeologiques ou les observations paleometallurgiques, Caroline Robion-Brunner a elabore un scenario global de l’histoire du peuplement des forgerons du pays dogon et de leur production, qu’elle replace dans la dynamique du plateau central nigerien.
The Kakoli of the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG), the focus of this study, did not traditionally have a concept of mental illness. They classified madness according to social behaviour, not mental pathology. Moreover, their conception of the person did not recognise the same physical and mental categories that inform Western medical science, and psychiatry in particular was not officially introduced to PNG until the late 1950s. Its practitioners claimed that it could adequately accommodate the cultural variation among Melanesian societies. This book compares the intent and practice of transcultural psychiatry with Kakoli interpretations of, and responses to, madness, showing the reasons for their occasional recourse to psychiatric services. Episodes involving madness, as defined by the Kakoli themselves, are described in order to offer a context for the historical lifeworld and praxis of the community and raise fundamental questions about whether a culturally sensitive psychiatry is possible in the Melanesian context.

Commercially, D-xylitol is produced by chemical reactions that are tailored to the requirements of various sectors. However, due to the rising interest in sustainable development and ecologically benign practices, microbial transformation processes are generally preferred over the conventional chemical conversion process. The former have multiple advantages, including less chemical load on the environment, higher efficiency, and the ability to dilute multiple downstream transformation attempts while maintaining product yield and recovery. This book aims to disseminate the most current advances in the biotechnological production of D-xylitol and its applications in medical and health care. It...
