Ikonen der Nationen
Aufgrund eines Fehlers in der Herstellung enthält die gedruckte Auflage Hinweise auf die falsche Creative Commons Lizenz (CC-BY-NC-ND statt CC-BY), daher wurde allen Exemplaren Erratazettel beigefügt. In den Online-Publikationen wurde dieser Fehler behoben. Es gilt für alle Ausgaben des Titels die CC-BY Lizenz. Nach dem Zusammenbruch Jugoslawiens stellte sich die brisante Frage, wer die Stelle des einstigen Helden Titos einnehmen und das von ihm hinterlassene visuelle Vakuum füllen würde. In Ikonen der Nationen analysiert Klaudija Sabo die künstlerischen Produktionen, die seit den 1980ern bis in die Gegenwart neue HeldInnenfiguren kreieren und damit nationale Identitätsbildungen in Kroatien und Serbien konstituieren. Um einen Stereotyp des Helden herauszufiltern, wurde eine Bandbreite an bewegten und statischen Quellen, darunter Filme, Plakate, Postkarten, Comics, Karikaturen, Skulpturen sowie Malerei, herangezogen und miteinander in Bezug gesetzt. Damit liefert die Arbeit sowohl einen Beitrag zur vergleichenden Geschichte der Nationsbildungsprozesse als auch zum Verständnis der gewaltvollen Konflikte in den 1990er Jahren.
Optimization Models for Rail Car Fleet Management
Optimization Models for Rail Car Fleet Management represents the result of multi-year efforts to provide readers with insights into one of the most important areas of railway transport management. The book covers mathematical procedures for the effective and efficient utilization of railway freight cars, developed models for optimization methods, heterogeneity and partial substitutability of freight cars, research and development in rail freight car fleet management models, and the stochastic and dynamic nature of the supply, demand and traveling time of freight cars, among other topics.
Otolith Function and Disorders
Annotation Topics presented were: Ultrastructural features of the two maculae with special emphasis on the neuromediators involved in vestibular signal processing; Review of the physiology of the otolith organs and some fascinating and unexpected roles of these structures in current clinical symptoms; Principal otolith-related syndromes drawing on clinical experience; Development of thoughts on the role of otoliths in movement perception; Clinical and instrumental investigation of otolith function and a critical appraisal for the tests used in vestibulometric practice with emphasis on the experience in eccentric rotatory testing; Use of the subjective visual vertical test, off-vertical axis rotation and click-evoked myogenic potentials as tools for functional investigations of the otolith organs. This volume provides an exhaustive view of the field in vestibulology, not only for neurophysiologists, otologists, neurologists, and kinesitherapists who are specialized in vestibular rehabilitation, but also for geriatrists and specialists in space medicine.
Fibrocartilaginous Eustachian Tube
Acute and chronic ear disease continues to be one of the leading diseases of childhood. Understanding eustachian tube function and management remains one of the most important aspects in controlling inflammatory ear disease. Chronic ear disease requires elaborate surgical interventions designed to bypass eustachian tube dysfunction and/or poor mastoid aeration, since surgical management of the eustachian tube has been elusive. Our understanding of the ear and hearing continues to expand at record pace, as auditory neuroscientists discover the fundamental molecular structure and function of the auditory system. The cochlear implant has revolutionized the treatment of deafness. In contrast, th...
Active Middle Ear Implants
In recent years, methods for coupling active implants to the middle ear, round window or combinations of passive middle ear prostheses have progressed considerably. Patient selection criteria have expanded from purely sensorineural hearing losses to conductive and mixed hearing losses in difficult-to-treat ears. This book takes into consideration recently developed methods as well as devices in current use. It begins with a fascinating and authentic history of active middle ear implants, written by one of the main pioneers in the field. In the following chapters, leading scientists and clinicians discuss the relevant topics in otology and audiology. Treatments for sensorineural hearing loss, conductive and mixed hearing losses, and results on alternative coupling sites such as the stapes footplate and the oval window are also covered, as well as articles on candidacy and cost-effectiveness. This publication is a must for ENT professionals and surgeons seeking out the latest knowledge on current research and clinical applications of active middle ear implants for all types of hearing loss.
Radicals in Power
This book throws real light on the single most strategic tendency in Brazilian politics in recent years.
Spatializing Culture
This book demonstrates the value of ethnographic theory and methods in understanding space and place, and considers how ethnographically-based spatial analyses can yield insight into prejudices, inequalities and social exclusion as well as offering people the means for understanding the places where they live, work, shop and socialize. In developing the concept of spatializing culture, Setha Low draws on over twenty years of research to examine social production, social construction, embodied, discursive, emotive and affective, as well as translocal approaches. A global range of fieldwork examples are employed throughout the text to highlight not just the theoretical development of the idea of spatializing culture, but how it can be used in undertaking ethnographies of space and place. The volume will be valuable for students and scholars from a number of disciplines who are interested in the study of culture through the lens of space and place.
Doing Global Urban Research
Whether you are an urban geographer, an urban sociologist or an urban political scientist, and whether you take a qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods approach, the challenge that confronts researchers of our increasingly "globalized" urban studies remains fundamentally the same—how to make sense of urban complexity. This book confronts this challenge by exploring the various methodological approaches for doing global urban research, including Comparative Urbanism, Social Network Analysis, and Data Visualization. With contributions from leading scholars across the world, Doing Global Urban Research offers a key forum to discuss how the practice of research can deepen our knowledge of globalized urbanization.
