Testing for Athlete Citizenship
Incidents of doping in sports are common in news headlines, despite regulatory efforts. How did doping become a crisis? What does a doping violation actually entail? Who gets punished for breaking the rules of fair play? In Testing for Athlete Citizenship, Kathryn E. Henne, a former competitive athlete and an expert in the law and science of anti-doping regulations, examines the development of rules aimed at controlling performance enhancement in international sports. As international and celebrated figures, athletes are powerful symbols, yet few spectators realize that a global regulatory network is in place in an attempt to ensure ideals of fair play. The athletes caught and punished for d...
Female Olympians
This book examines women's participation in the Olympic Games since they were allowed to be included in that global arena. Using a holistic, social scientific approach, and emphasizing the rhetoric of sport mediatization, Female Olympians reviews the literature relative to sexism, racism, and ageism before providing historical, political, economic, and socio-cultural perspectives such as the gendered language of Olympic reportage, religious considerations, women’s bodies relative to their training for the Games, drugs and doping, and female Paralympians. With numerous critical case studies, never-before assembled data, and personal interviews with athletes, this volume offers insights that both investigate and celebrate female Olympians’ successes.
Gamificación y aprendizaje ubicuo en educación primaria
Ofrece los principales resultados del proyecto de investigación «Gamificación y aprendizaje ubicuo en Educación Primaria. Elaboración de un mapa de competencias y recursos docentes, discentes y parentales (GAUBI)». Este proyecto ha analizado la interacción entre el aprendizaje ubicuo y la gamificación en primaria, una etapa en la que se asientan procesos de aprendizaje fundamentales, precisa de modelos de enseñanza-aprendizaje que favorezcan una integración didáctica de los dispositivos digitales móviles y permitan mediante propuestas metodológicas como la gamificación, cooperar e integrar la tecnología de forma lúdica en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje dentro y fuera de las aulas.
FEMINISMOS E LITERATURA INFANTIL E XUVENIL EN GALICIA
Que libros demostran que os feminismos deixaron a súa pegada nas obras literarias para nenas e nenos? Que grupos de mulleres comezaron a traballar a prol da coeducación e dunha literatura igualitaria en Galicia? Velaquí as dúas preguntas a partir das que nace este ensaio. Un ensaio que quixera abrir ventás, recuperando nomes de activistas, de críticas e de autoras, mais que sobre todo pretende afondar nalgunhas obras que apuntan determinadas tendencias, mostrando que os feminismos serviron na literatura infantil para que aumentasen as rapazas protagonistas (e os xeitos de selo) que aparecían nas obras literarias e para reivindicar e reler escritoras. Ademais, as angueiras das mediadoras e das autoras feministas permitiron cuestionar a calidade e os valores das narracións destinadas á infancia e á mocidade, posibilitaron novas temáticas, deron presenza aos personaxes LGBT ou privilexiaron outros xeitos de ser nenos e mozos que escapasen aos corsés do xénero. Todo isto facilitou a creación dun lectorado máis crítico, máis imaxinativo e tamén máis empático. Por isto, este é un libro sobre libros que pensa que a literatura aínda pode cambiar o mundo
Missionizing on the Edge

Leistungsklassen und Geschlechtertests
Der Sport ist bis heute eine Sphäre männlicher Dominanz und heteronormativer Geschlechtervorstellungen. Das zeigt die anhaltende Debatte über Geschlechtertests im Leistungssport ebenso wie die deutliche Unterrepräsentanz von Sportlerinnen in den Medien. Aus einer praxistheoretischen Perspektive zeigt Karolin Heckemeyer, wie sich diese heteronormativ-hierarchische Ordnung in Bestimmungen internationaler Sportorganisationen und in Auseinandersetzungen von Athletinnen mit den Regeln des Sports (re-)produziert und legitimiert. Die Leistungsklasse Geschlecht erweist sich dabei als eine Struktur, die es für zukünftige Visionen eines geschlechterinklusiven Sports kritisch zu hinterfragen gilt.
Thyroid Toxicity
Thyroid hormones are involved in numerous physiological processes as regulators of metabolism, bone remodeling, cardiac function and mental status. Moreover, thyroid hormones are of special importance in fetal development, more particularly, in the development of the brain. Thus, maintenance of normal thyroid functioning is essential for psychological, biochemical, immunological, endocrinal and physiological well being of the body as well as normal growth and development. Understanding how the thyroid gland is affected by adverse factors can help clinicians to handle emergency situations or apply preventive care measures to patients. Thyroid Toxicity is a comprehensive monograph on thyroid t...
Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Experiments for the Laboratory Classroom
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
