Sport Gender and Power The Rise of Roller Derby

Sport Gender and Power The Rise of Roller Derby

As a new breed of lifestyle sport enthusiasts ’derby grrrls’ are pushing the boundaries of gender as they negotiate the nexus of pleasure pain and power relations. Offering a socio-cultural analysis of the rise and reinvention of roller derby as both a new globalized women’s sport and an everyday creative leisure space this book explores the manner in which roller derby has emerged as a gendered space for self-transformation belonging and embodied contest in which women are invited to experience their emotions differently embrace pain and overcome limits. Sport Gender and Power: The Rise of Roller Derby presents detailed interview ethnographic and autoethnographic material together with a range of media texts to shed new light on the complex relationships of power experienced by women in derby as a sport culture whilst also examining the darker relationships that characterise the sport including those of inclusion and exclusion difference and identity and competition and participation. A contemporary feminist study of empowerment sexual difference gender and affect this book will appeal to scholars of gender and sexuality embodiment feminist thought and the sociology of sport and leisure. | Sport Gender and Power The Rise of Roller Derby

Gender Sport and the Role of Alter Ego in Roller Derby

Gender Sport and the Role of Alter Ego in Roller Derby

Gender Sport and the Role of the Alter Ego in Roller Derby focuses on the resurgence of roller derby by examining the appeal and dedication to a sport that combines the masculine aggression and physicality of sport with a more feminine or alternative style of organizing and community building. No longer a scripted sport filled with fake fighting and hair pulling derby though still dangerous has nevertheless exploded in popularity around the world. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews with women players Colleen Arendt reveals how derby has come to serve as a site of gender rebellion and emancipation that empowers participants. She demonstrates how players find roller derby a place to build friendships and support networks while giving back to their community. The book also analyzes the adoption of derby personas or alter egos which many players use. While many players derive joy and other benefits from their derby personas others argue that personas and alter egos detract from the athleticism and legitimacy of the sport. Finally by considering the relationship between gender sport society and power this book tries to answer the question: Why derby? Why now? | Gender Sport and the Role of Alter Ego in Roller Derby

Multiscale Modeling From Atoms to Devices

Multiscale Modeling From Atoms to Devices

While the relevant features and properties of nanosystems necessarily depend on nanoscopic details their performance resides in the macroscopic world. To rationally develop and accurately predict performance of these systems we must tackle problems where multiple length and time scales are coupled. Rather than forcing a single modeling approach to predict an event it was not designed for a new paradigm must be employed: multiscale modeling. A brilliant solution to a pervasive problem Multiscale Modeling: From Atoms to Devices offers a number of approaches for which more than one scale is explicitly considered. It provides several alternatives from coarse-graining sampling of the atomic and mesoscale to Monte Carlo- and thermodynamic-based models that allow sampling of increasingly large scales up to multiscale models able to describe entire devices. Beginning with common techniques for coarse-graining the book discusses their theoretical background advantages and limitations. It examines the application-dependent parameterization characteristics of coarse-graining along with the finer-trains-coarser multiscale approach and describes three carefully selected examples in which the parameterization although based on the same principles depends on the actual application. The book considers the use of ab initio and density functional theory to obtain parameters needed for larger scale models the alternative use of density functional theory parameters in a Monte Carlo method and the use of ab initio and density functional theory as the atomistic technique underlying the calculation of thermodynamics properties of alloy phase stability. Highlighting one of the most challenging tasks for multiscale modelers Multiscale Modeling: From Atoms to Devices also presents modeling for nanocomposite materials using the embedded fiber finite element method (EFFEM). It emphasizes an ensemble Monte Carlo method to high field-charge transport problems and demonstrates the practical application of modern many-body quantum theories. The author maintains a website with additional information. | Multiscale Modeling From Atoms to Devices

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

We thank Ekman & Co AB and Gadelius Holding Ltd for their kind and generous support making this research available online for free. Lottaz and Ottosson explore the intricate relationship between neutral Sweden and Imperial Japan during the latter’s 15 years of warfare in Asia and in the Pacific. While Sweden’s relationship with European Axis powers took place under the premise of existential security concerns the case of Japan was altogether different. Japan never was a threat to Sweden militarily or economically. Nevertheless Stockholm maintained a close relationship with Tokyo until Japan’s surrender in 1945. This book explores the reasons for that and therefore provides a study on the rationale and the value of neutrality in the Long Second World War. Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War is a valuable resource for scholars of the Second World War and of the history of neutrality. | Sweden Japan and the Long Second World War 1931-1945

The Spirit of Indian Philosophy

The Spirit of Indian Philosophy

First published in 1975 The Spirit of Indian Philosophy provides a systematic overview of Indian philosophy. The book is divided into four major parts dealing with Indian epistemology Indian metaphysics Indian ethics and Indian philosophy of religion. It makes a departure from usual method of investigating Indian philosophy by dealing with its different schools individually and separately. It discusses themes like sources of cognition; nature and criterion of true cognition; problem of error; materialism; realism; dualism; Indian theories of causation; reflective morality; the ethics of non-violence; Indian atheism and Indian religion of God to argue that the usual conception of Indian philosophy in general as religious spiritualistic and pessimistic is contrary to the fact that the doctrine of Karma transmigration and rebirth strictly speaking is incompatible with the Indian ways of thinking and in deed is an imposition upon them ab extra. This is an essential read for scholars and students of Indian philosophy.

Skyrmions Topological Structures Properties and Applications

Skyrmions Topological Structures Properties and Applications

The book reviews all the aspects of recent developments in research on skyrmions from the presentation of the observation and characterization techniques to the description of physical properties and expected applications. It will be of great use for all scientists working in this field. – Albert Fert 2007 Nobel Laureate in Physics (from the Foreword) A skyrmion is a tiny region of reversed magnetization – quasiparticles since they are not present except in a magnetic state and also give rise to physics that cannot be described by Maxwell’s equations. These particles are fascinating subjects for theoretical and experimental studies. Moreover as a new type of magnetic domain structure with special topological structures skyrmions feature outstanding magnetic and transport properties and may well have applications in data storage and other advanced spintronic devices as readers will see in this book. Chapters address the relationships between physical properties of condensed matter such as the AB effect Berry phase effect quantum Hall effect and topological insulators. Overall it provides a timely introduction to the fundamental aspects and possible applications of magnetic skyrmions to an interdisciplinary audience from condensed matter physics chemistry and materials science. | Skyrmions Topological Structures Properties and Applications

Plain Pottery Traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East Production Use and Social Significance

Plain Pottery Traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East Production Use and Social Significance

The evolution and proliferation of plain and predominantly wheel-made pottery presents a characteristic feature of the societies of the Near East and Eastern Mediterranean since the fourth millennium B. C. This plain pottery has received little detailed archaeological attention in comparison to aesthetically more pleasing and chronologically sensitive decorated traditions. Yet their simplicity and standardization suggest they are products of craft specialists the result of high-volume production and therefore important in understanding the social systems in early complex societies. This volume-reevaluates the role and significance of plain pottery traditions from both historically specific perspectives and from a comparative point of view;-examines the uses and functions of this pottery in relation to social negotiation and group identity formation;-helps scholars understand cross-regional similarities in development and use. | Plain Pottery Traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East Production Use and Social Significance

Animal Suffering and Public Relations The Ethics of Persuasion in the Animal-Industrial Complex

Animal Suffering and Public Relations The Ethics of Persuasion in the Animal-Industrial Complex

Animal Suffering and Public Relations conducts an ethical assessment of public relations mainly persuasive communication and lobbying as deployed by some of the main businesses involved in the animal-industrial complex—the industries participating in the systematic and institutionalised exploitation of animals. Society has been experiencing a growing ethical concern regarding humans’ (ab)use of other animals. This is a trend first promoted by the development of animal ethics—which claims any sentient being because of sentience deserves moral consideration—and more recently by other approaches from the social sciences including critical animal studies. In this volume we aim to start an entirely unaddressed discussion within the field of public relations: The need to problematise the ethics of persuasion when nonhuman animal suffering is involved particularly the impact of persuasion and lobbying on compassion towards other animals in the cases of food experimentation entertainment and environmental management. This book provides an interdisciplinary theoretical discussion illustrated with international case studies from experts in strategic communication public relations lobbying and advocacy animal ethics philosophy of law political philosophy and social psychology. This unique book merges the fields of critical public relations animal ethics and critical animal studies and will be of direct appeal to a wide range of researchers academics and doctoral students across related fields. | Animal Suffering and Public Relations The Ethics of Persuasion in the Animal-Industrial Complex

Lean for the Process Industries Dealing with Complexity Second Edition

Lean for the Process Industries Dealing with Complexity Second Edition

Compared to its widespread implementation across almost all areas of production Lean improvement efforts lag within the process industries. While many innovators have successfully applied Lean principles to these industries during the past three decades most of those pioneering efforts were never recorded to guide the improvement efforts of others. Drawing on more than 40 years of application experience at one of the world’s largest chemical and materials manufacturers coupled with 10 years in private practice Peter King corrects this void by providing the first comprehensive resource written explicitly for change agents within the process industries. Focusing on areas where the improvement needs of the process industry differ from parts assembly manufacturing Lean for the Process Industries: Dealing with Complexity Second Edition: Covers each of the eight wastes commonly described in Lean literature looking at how they manifest themselves in process operations. Explains how to adapt value stream mapping for process operations. Shows how to identify the root causes of bottlenecks and how to manage them to optimize flow until they can be eliminated. Provides practical techniques to overcome the barriers which have prevented the application of Cellular Manufacturing to process operations. Discusses the role of business leadership in a Lean strategy describing both enabling and counter-productive management behaviors Since the publication of the first edition of this book Peter King has been busy consulting with food beverage gasoline additive and nutraceutical companies - these new experiences have broadened his perspectives on certain Lean processes and have given him a richer set of examples to discuss in this new edition. While Value Stream Mapping is a very powerful tool to understand flow bottlenecks and waste in an operation the traditional format as presented in many other books does not describe all of the data required to fully understand process flow and its detractors. This new edition highlights the necessary additions with examples of why they are useful. Product wheel scheduling achieves production leveling in a far more comprehensive and effective way than traditional heijunka methods. This edition has a more thorough description of the wheel concept and design steps and more examples from actual applications. | Lean for the Process Industries Dealing with Complexity Second Edition

Dividing United Europe From Crisis to Fragmentation?

Dividing United Europe From Crisis to Fragmentation?

Pictures of Angela Merkel in a Nazi uniform the burning of German flags newspaper articles portraying Southern Europe as work-shy and Northern Europe as tight-fisted: The Eurozone crisis has thrown up old stereotypes; often digging into well-established historical images of ‘the other’. The conscious or tacit (ab)use of national prejudices by politicians and parts of the media and the strong emotional reactions among European citizens have caused a lot of public concern about the likely negative implications of such reawakening of national clichés and the newly hardening boundaries they construct for the process of European integration. It is evident that current and recent crises confront European citizens with profound dilemmas which they seek to make sense of and in response to which much new political mobilisation takes place. At the same time some of the interpretative and political reactions thus generated also have the potential to become very destructive processes putting into question years of integration efforts. This book brings together scholars who examine the nexus between (economic) crisis national identities and the use of historical images and prejudices and stereotypes by focusing particularly on media and political discourses in different European countries. In addition to detailed empirical discussions covering diverse national settings across Europe the different contributions discuss and offer a variety of conceptual and methodological approaches within the inter-disciplinary study of national identities prejudice and stereotyping in the context of socio-economic and political crises. This book was originally published as a Special Issue of National Identities. | Dividing United Europe From Crisis to Fragmentation?

The Unconscious A Contemporary Introduction

The Unconscious A Contemporary Introduction

In The Unconscious: A Contemporary Introduction Joseph Newirth presents a critical and comparative analysis of the unconscious and its evolution from a positivist to a postmodern frame of reference. This book presents five theories each of which offers different and important conceptualizations of the unconscious and each of which contains a rich palate of ideas through which to approach clinical work. These psychoanalytic theories are thought of as spokes on a wheel emanating from the center of Freud’s concept of the unconscious. In addition to presenting Freud’s development of the unconscious Newirth includes discussions of interpersonal/relational psychoanalysis; developmental approaches to the unconscious including Kohut Winnicott and Fonagy; Kleinian approaches to the unconscious; and linguistic theories of the unconscious including Matte Blanco and Lacan. The last chapter illustrates the use of contemporary psychoanalytic concepts in the clinical work with a contemporary patient. The book encourages a comparative view of psychoanalytic theory and technique and aims to move to a more useful generalizable concept of the unconscious for the contemporary patient. This book will be of great interest to psychoanalysts psychologists and anyone interested in the evolution and application of the unconscious as a concept. | The Unconscious A Contemporary Introduction
