The Politics of Chinese Medicine Under Mongol Rule

The Politics of Chinese Medicine Under Mongol Rule

Under the rule of the descendants of Chinggis Khan (1167-1227) China saw the development of a new culture in which medical practice came to be considered a highly respected occupation for elite men. During this period further major steps were also taken towards the codification of medical knowledge and promotion of physicians’ social status. This book traces the history of the politics institutions and culture of medicine of China under Mongol rule through the eyes of a successful South Chinese official Yuan Jue (1266-1327). As the first comprehensive monograph on history of medicine in China under the Mongols it argues that this period was a separate moment in Chinese history when a configuration of power different from that of previous and succeeding periods created its own medical culture. The Politics of Chinese Medicine under Mongol Rule emphasizes the impact of the political and institutional changes caused by the Mongols and their collaborators on the social and cultural history of medicine which culminated in the medical theory of Zhu Zhenheng (1282–1358) still influential in East Asian medicine. Using a variety of Chinese-language sources including gazetteers legal texts biographies poems and medical texts it analyses the roles of the Mongols and West and Central Asians as cultural brokers and also as unifiers of China. Further it views North and South Chinese elites as agents of historical change rather than as victims of Mongol oppression. Underlining the complexity of the history of China under the Mongols and the significance of time and geography for the study of this history this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese medical history Chinese social and cultural history and medieval global history.

Shakespeare in the Present Political Lessons under Biden

Shakespeare in the Present Political Lessons under Biden

Shakespeare in the Present: Political Lessons under Biden is the first case study in applying the lessons of Shakespeare’s plays to post-Trump America. It looks at American politics through the lens of Shakespeare not simply equating figures in the contemporary world to Shakespearean characters but showing how the broader conditions of Shakespeare’s imagined worlds reflect and inform our own. Clearly written in a direct and engaging style it shows that reading Shakespeare with our contemporary Washington in mind can enrich our understanding of both his works and our world. Shakespeare wrote for his own time but we always read him in our present. As such the way we read him now is always affected by our own understanding of our own political world. This book provides quick critical analyses of Shakespeare’s plays and contemporary American politics while serving as an introduction for undergraduates and general readers to this kind of topical presentist criticism of Shakespeare. | Shakespeare in the Present Political Lessons under Biden

Risk Analytics Data-Driven Decisions under Uncertainty

Risk Analytics Data-Driven Decisions under Uncertainty

The 2022 World Economic Forum surveyed 1 000 experts and leaders who indicated their risk perception that the earth’s conditions for humans are a main concern in the next 10 years. This means environmental risks are a priority to study in a formal way. At the same time innovation risks are present in theminds of leaders newknowledge brings new risk and the adaptation and adoption of risk knowledge is required to better understand the causes and effects can have on technological risks. These opportunities require not only adopting new ways of managing and controlling emerging processes for society and business but also adapting organizations to changes and managing new risks. Risk Analytics: Data-Driven Decisions Under Uncertainty introduces a way to analyze and design a risk analytics system (RAS) that integrates multiple approaches to risk analytics to deal with diverse types of data and problems. A risk analytics system is a hybrid system where human and artificial intelligence interact with a data gathering and selection process that uses multiple sources to the delivery of guidelines to make decisions that include humans and machines. The RAS system is an integration of components such as data architecture with diverse data and a risk analytics process and modeling process to obtain knowledge and then determine actions through the new knowledge that was obtained. The use of data analytics is not only connected to risk modeling and its implementation but also to the development of the actionable knowledge that can be represented by text in documents to define and share explicit knowledge and guidelines in the organization for strategy implementation. This book moves from a review of data to the concepts of a RAS. It reviews RAS system components required to support the creation of competitive advantage in organizations through risk analytics. Written for executives analytics professionals risk management professionals strategy professionals and postgraduate students this book shows a way to implement the analytics process to develop a risk management practice that creates an adaptive competitive advantage under uncertainty. | Risk Analytics Data-Driven Decisions under Uncertainty

Urban Governance Under the Ottomans Between Cosmopolitanism and Conflict

Urban Governance Under the Ottomans Between Cosmopolitanism and Conflict

Urban Governance Under the Ottomans focuses on one of the most pressing topics in this field namely the question why cities formerly known for their multiethnic and multi- religious composition became increasingly marked by conflict in the 19th century. This collection of essays represents the result of an intense process of discussion among many of the authors who have been invited to combine theoretical considerations on the question sketched above with concrete case studies based upon original archival research. From Istanbul to Aleppo and from the Balkans to Jerusalem what emerges from the book is a renewed image of the imperial and local mechanisms of coexistence and of their limits and occasional dissolution in times of change and crisis. Raising questions of governance and changes therein as well as epistemological questions regarding what has often been termed 'cosmopolitanism' this book calls for a closer investigation of incidents of both peaceful coexistence as well as episodes of violence and conflict. A useful addition to existing literature this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of Urban Studies History and Middle Eastern Studies. | Urban Governance Under the Ottomans Between Cosmopolitanism and Conflict

Ghana Under Military Rule 1966-1969

Ghana Under Military Rule 1966-1969

Originally published in 1972 this book examines the way in which the military/police regime in Ghana which overthrew President Nkrumah in February 1966 performed two overlapping tasks – those of establishing itself as a recognised government and of pursuing its chosen objective of eventually restoring democratic civilian rule. The author who conducted interviews with people at many levels in Ghanaian politics including the majority of members of General Ankrah’s Cabinet traces the progress of the military regime showing that it was successful in building up public support and opening up new political avenues but that it was unable to make any fundamental economic changes. He argues that to understand the operation of the military government it is necessary to look at its relationship with most influential sections of the civilian population and clearly demonstrates that without the co-operation of such civilians the new regime could never have achieved as much as it did. | Ghana Under Military Rule 1966-1969

The Development of Disability Rights Under International Law From Charity to Human Rights

The Development of Disability Rights Under International Law From Charity to Human Rights

The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CPRD) by the United Nations in 2006 is the first comprehensive and binding treaty on the rights of people with disabilities. It establishes the right of people with disabilities to equality dignity autonomy full participation as well as the right to live in the community and the right to supported decision-making and inclusive education. Prior to the CRPD international law had provided only limited protections to people with disabilities. This book analyses the development of disability rights as an international human rights movement. Focusing on the United States and countries in Asia Africa the Middle East the book examines the status of people with disabilities under international law prior to the adoption of the CPRD and follows the development of human rights protections through the convention’s drafting process. Arlene Kanter argues that by including both new applications and entirely new approaches to human rights treaty enforcement the CRPD is significant not only to people with disabilities but also to the general development of international human rights by offering new human rights protections for all people. Taking a comparative perspective the book explores how the success of the CRPD in achieving protections depends on the extent to which individual countries enforce domestic laws and policies and the changing public attitudes towards people with disabilities. This book will be of excellent use and interest to researchers and students of human rights law discrimination and disability studies. | The Development of Disability Rights Under International Law From Charity to Human Rights

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Although much research focuses on investigating the responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under sole impact or blast loads the responses of RC structures under a combination of impact and blast loads currently represent a gap in our knowledge. The combined actions of impact and blast loadings may be applied to RC structures during accidental or intentional collision of vessels vehicles etc. carrying explosive materials. A comprehensive study on the vulnerability of various structural members is carried out using finite element (FE) simulations under combination of impact and blast loads with the variations of various loading- and structural-related parameters and key parameters. This book introduces various structural analysis approaches for concrete structures when subjected to extreme loads such as impact and blast loadings. The theory of the combinations of impact and blast loads is proposed that can provide primary insights to the specific readers to develop new ideas in impact and blast engineering including combined actions of extreme loads arising from real-world intentional or accidental events. This book will be of value to students (undergraduate or postgraduate) engineers and researchers in structural and civil engineering and specifically those who are studying and investigating the performances of concrete structures under extreme loads. | Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations
