Inclusive Localities
The contributions in this book shed critical light on the shaping, negotiation, and creation of inclusive conditions of local authorities and localities. The authors analyse policy programs and reflect on their inclusive or exclusive effects in European and non-European contexts. Despite a number of global effects, which come about through supra-locally made decisions and influence the scope of action on the ground, many contributions emphasize the crucial role of the municipal level for a successful realisation of inclusion.
Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov
Ouvrage publié à l'occasion de l'exposition présentée au musée d'art moderne André Malraux, Le Havre, du 6 décembre 2014 au 8 mars 2015. Sabine Meier est partie à New York avec l'idée de faire le portrait de Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov, le célèbre personnage de l'écrivain russe Dostoïevski. Avec ses seuls souvenirs de lecture du roman lu plusieurs années auparavant, elle déambule dans les rues new-yorkaises. C'est au cours de ses pérégrinations, qu'elle reconnaît dans le visage d'un passant celui qui deviendrait son Raskolnikov. Comment réussit-elle à convaincre cet inconnu à incarner l'image de ce personnage de fiction ? Une longue collaboration commença entre eux et "Portrait of a Man" était en construction.
Inclusive Localities
Die Beiträge in diesem Buch werfen ein kritisches Licht auf die Ausgestaltung, Verhandlung und Schaffung inklusiver Bedingungen. Die Autor*innen analysieren politische Programme und reflektieren über deren inklusive oder exklusive Auswirkungen in europäischen und außereuropäischen Kontexten. Trotz dieser globalen Effekte, die durch überlokal getroffene Entscheidungen zustande kommen und die Handlungsspielräume vor Ort beeinflussen, betonen viele Beiträge die maßgebliche Rolle der kommunalen Ebene für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung von Inklusion.
Oh Mann, Frau Meier
Claudia Sabine Meier, geboren in Bern als "Andreas Heribert", stolzer männlicher Nachkomme und Stammhalter der Eltern "Anni und Heribert". Über 40 Jahre den Mann beweisen zu wollen, den Erwartungen der Familie, des Umfelds zu entsprechen, wusste die Autorin seit frühster Kindheit, dass das Ihr aufgetragene männliche Rollenbild für sie nicht passt. Dies führte zu einem Jahrzehnte langen Doppelleben als "Claudia", der Frau die sie immer zu sein verspürte. Sie leistete Militärdienst und machte alles was dazu gehört, um als "männlich" zu gelten, heiratete, zeugte eine Tochter und übernahm pflichtbewusst den elterlichen Betrieb. Mit gesunder Selbstironie, Humor und Tiefgang schreibt Sie über ihr bewegtes Leben und ihren steten Kampf für einen einfacheren Weg von "Trans"-menschen.
Use Matters
From participatory architecture to interaction design, the question of how design accommodates use is driving inquiry in many creative fields. Expanding utility to embrace people’s everyday experience brings new promises for the social role of design. But this is nothing new. As the essays assembled in this collection show, interest in the elusive realm of the user was an essential part of architecture and design throughout the twentieth century. Use Matters is the first to assemble this alternative history, from the bathroom to the city, from ergonomics to cybernetics, and from Algeria to East Germany. It argues that the user is not a universal but a historically constructed category of twentieth-century modernity that continues to inform architectural practice and thinking in often unacknowledged ways.
microRNA Regulation in Health and Disease
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs that play a crucial role in posttranscriptional gene regulation. Over two thousand miRNAs have been identified in humans, and many of them are conserved in other species. miRNAs are implicated in fundamental cellular functions, including development and disease. In the last decade, there has been an overwhelming amount of data contributing to the understanding of miRNA biogenesis and their target genes. Moreover, a significant amount of work has been carried out in developing miRNA biomarkers and therapeutics for various disease conditions. RNA-based markers and therapeutics have been proven to have a clinical impact, and many of these miRNA-based...
Shock, Sepsis, and Organ Failure
The Wiggers Bernard Conferences, named after two great physiologists of the past, are an nual gatherings of the leaders in the field of shock. The meetings focus on specific areas of which appears to be showing the most advancement during the previous year. There are se veral types of sessions; informal presentations during which the seminarian can be intenup ted in order to clarify a particular point; formal discussions follow each presentation; these are followed by informal gatherings in which these discussions continue during meals and libation in a very relaxed environment. The 1990 meeting took place in Durnstein, Austria. A small hamlet in the wine growing area of the Wachau valley, o...
Hitler's Furies
About the participation of German women in World War II and in the Holocaust.
EU Citizenship Beyond Urban Centres
This open access book provides in-depth and comparative analyses of how young people in peripheral areas in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania perceive EU citizenship. It also informs the reader about the challenges faced by EU Youth Dialogue projects that aim at promoting active (EU) citizenship in these areas and it offers context-specific recommendations for local, regional, national and European policymakers and people working with young people. The contributions are based on new qualitative data collected within the framework of the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence at Leipzig University. It will be of interest to practitioners and scholars working on Europe and the EU, citizenship and the promotion of an active EU citizenship beyond urban centres.
Amazonian Floodplain Forests
Central Amazonian floodplain forests are an unique and endangered ecosystem. The forests grow in areas that are annually flooded by large rivers during mean periods of up to 8 months and at depths of up to 10 m. Despite this severe stress, these forests consist of over 1,000 species and are by far the most species-rich floodplain forests worldwide. The trees show a broad range of morphological, anatomical, physiological, and phenological adaptations that enable them not only to survive the adverse environmental conditions, but also to produce large amounts of biomass when the nutrient levels in water and soils are sufficiently high. This is the case in the floodplains of white-water rivers, ...
