Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Focusing on notions of diaspora identity and agency this book examines ethnicity in war-torn Sri Lanka. It highlights the historical development and negotiation of a new identification of Up-country Tamil amidst Sri Lanka’s violent ethnic politics. Over the past thirty years Up-country (Indian) Tamils generally have tried to secure their vision of living within a multi-ethnic Sri Lanka not within Tamil Eelam the separatist dream that ended with the civil war in 2009. Exploring Sri Lanka within the deep history of colonial-era South Asian plantation diasporas the book argues Up-country Tamils form a diaspora next-door to their ancestral homeland. It moves beyond simplistic Sinhala-Tamil binaries and shows how Sri Lanka’s ethnic troubles actually have more in common with similar battles that diasporic Indians have faced in Fiji and Trinidad than with Hindu-Muslim communalism in neighbouring India Pakistan and Bangladesh. Shedding new light on issues of agency citizenship displacement and re-placement within the formation of diasporic communities and identities this book demonstrates the ways that culture workers including politicians trade union leaders academics and NGO workers have facilitated the development of a new identity as Up-country Tamil. It is of interest to academics working in the fields of modern South Asia diaspora violence post-conflict nations religion and ethnicity. | Everyday Ethnicity in Sri Lanka Up-country Tamil Identity Politics

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Drawn from a lifetime’s experience of shared city-making from the bottom up within rapidly expanding urban metabolisms in Delhi Mumbai Agra Kathmandu West Africa and London Loose Fit City is about the ways in which city residents can learn through making to engage with the dynamic process of creating their own city. It looks at the nature and processes involved in loosely fitting together elements made by different people at different scales and times with different intentions into a civic entity which is greater than the sum of its parts. It shows how bottom-up learning through making can create a more vibrant and democratic city than the more flattened top-down centrally planned factory made version. Loose Fit City provides a new take on the subject of architecture defined as the study and practice of fitting together physical and cultural topography. It provides a comprehensive view of how the fourth dimension of time fits loosely together with the three spatial dimensions at different scales within the human horizon so as to layer meaning and depth within the places and metabolism of the city fabric. | Loose Fit City The Contribution of Bottom-Up Architecture to Urban Design and Planning

Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation

Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation

Due in part to an absence of universally accepted standardization methods nutraceuticals and functional foods face regulatory ignorance marketing incompetence and ethical impunity. Even though many researchers believe that there is a connection between nutraceuticals and functional foods and reduced health care expenses as well as disease prevention the credibility and quality control challenge remains. The industry needs more standardized testing reliable reproducible clinical studies to prove the efficacies of products in vivo and in-process controls to maintain universal product quality. The first volume of the Handbook of Nutraceuticals re-defined Nutraceuticals covering the regulatory aspect as well as insisting on the cGMP’s and SOP’s for the nutraceutical manufacturing. This second volume focuses on the scale up processing and automation of nutraceutical production under cGMP production regulations. It covers: Advancements in extraction methods Unit operations involved in scaling up and processing Rheological and flow properties of products as characterization parameters Fortification and value enhancement using nanotechnology Green concepts in food industry Flavoring of nutraceuticals Clinical batch nutraceutical manufacturing New technologies to prevent counterfeiting Automation in nutraceutical industry The nutraceutical market is at the crossroads. With a nearly $200 billion market for nutraceuticals and functional foods by end of 2013 and promising developments in product design and discovery the industry must be ready for intense scrutiny. The standardization of testing clinical studies and adherence to rigorous industry and scientific methods is necessary for the advancement acceptance and development of high quality effective nutraceuticals. With contributions from leading authorities this book brings together hundreds of years of combined experience to provide guidance on how to increase the quality and credibility of nutraceutical products. | Handbook of Nutraceuticals Volume II Scale-Up Processing and Automation
