Cresci Marrone, Giovannella, Giovanna Gambacurta, and Anna Marinetti. Il dono di Altino. Venice: Edizioni Ca' Foscari, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.30687/978-88-6969-380-9.
Full textAbstract:
In questo volume colleghi e amici rendono omaggio a Margherita Tirelli, archeologa, curiosa e vivace interprete di un metodo archeologico che ha improntato una stagione particolarmente florida di scavi, scoperte, studi e iniziative non superficiali di valorizzazione. Ad Altino, quale progenitrice di Venezia, Margherita Tirelli ha dedicato e dedica la sua attenzione ininterrotta, dagli scavi fino alla delicata transizione verso la nuova prestigiosa sede museale. In questa prospettiva, la studiosa ha sviluppato una proficua collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, concretizzata in una convenzione di studi e ricerche e in sei convegni di studi altinati, volti ad approfondire svariate tematiche: dal funerario, al sociale, al sacro. Lo spettro diacronico dei suoi interessi archeologici, storici ed epigrafici trova riscontro nell’articolazione dei contributi che le sono qui dedicati: dalla cultura dei Veneti antichi alle tematiche della romanità, fino a una specifica attenzione sulla produzione vetraria. Il volume si chiude con un lavoro sul vetro di età ‘storica’, argomento che vede ancora oggi in lei una figura di riferimento nella realtà veneziana, e uno dedicato alle scelte dell’allestimento museale, un tema di comunicazione in cui ha saputo coniugare con i suoi collaboratori eleganza ed efficacia.

Full textAbstract:
El libro presentado hace parte de una compilación de artículos atravesados por un interés central relacionado con la reivindicación académica del neologismo “sicaresca”, palabra con la que el autor antioqueño Héctor Abad Faciolince bautizó aquella creciente producción literaria y de consumo cultural relacionada con el mundo del narcotráfico, específicamente a los sicarios. En realidad, es una reivindicación crítica, que pretende reconstruir el término mismo como categoría estética de una manifestación cultural. […] Como se sabe, el narcotráfico, y sobre todo la producción de “consumo cultural” creada alrededor de él, es vasta; así como los análisis que han captado el interés de los analistas e investigadores. Este trabajo es un documento valioso en la medida en que muestra una perspectiva que podría ser considerada innovadora, que aporta nuevos elementos al debate y que da pie para la realización de análisis menos superficiales sobre un tema ampliamente discutido en muchos círculos L. F. L. C. El objetivo del texto (“elevar el neologismo de ʻsicarescaʼ a categoría analítica”) se cumple ampliamente desde campos muy interesantes. Si bien el tema de la “sicaresca” ya ha sido abordado, y según algunos hasta el hastío en novelas, series de televisión y películas, el texto profundiza en temas que permiten entender el neologismo más allá de esta “moda”. Las relaciones que se establecen entre lo efímero, el tiempo, el sentido de la vida, el amor y la muerte, los espacios que se habitan, entre otros, efectivamente elevan la discusión en términos académicos más profundos y reflexivos. […] También puede contribuir a la continuidad de la investigación eventualmente en el contexto político o histórico de la sicaresca. La “sicaresca” es un tema que nos incumbe a todos y sobre el que es necesario ir más allá de la moda y el oportunismo de los medios de comunicación. En este sentido, el texto revela la responsabilidad de los académicos y la Universidad frente a fenómenos sociales como este L. P. P.

Howell, Susan. The dermatophytes. Edited by Christopher C. Kibbler, Richard Barton, Neil A. R. Gow, Susan Howell, Donna M. MacCallum, and Rohini J. Manuel. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780198755388.003.0015.
Full textAbstract:
Dermatophytes are unique in their ability to utilize keratin as a substrate, and this makes them the commonest cause of superficial skin, hair, and nail infection worldwide. They comprise three genera and more than 30 species, and species have evolved to be anthropophilic, zoophilic, or geophilic. Infection is acquired by contact with a source, and on skin is known as ringworm because a circular lesion with a raised scaling edge may form. Diagnosis requires microscopic examination of tissue and culture to identify the pathogen. Management of infection includes identifying the source to prevent reinfection.

Gibbs, John C. Moral Development and Reality. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190878214.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Moral Development and Reality explores the nature of morality, moral development, social behavior, and human connection. By comparing, contrasting, and going beyond the prominent theories mainly of Lawrence Kohlberg, Martin Hoffman, and Jonathan Haidt, the author addresses fundamental questions: What is morality, and how broad is the moral domain? Can we speak of moral development (Kohlberg, Hoffman), or is morality entirely relative to diverse cultures (Haidt)? What are the sources of moral motivation? What factors account for prosocial behavior? What are the typical social perspective-taking limitations of antisocial youths, and how can those limitations be remedied? Does moral development, including moments of moral inspiration, reflect a deeper reality? Exploring these questions elucidates the full range of moral development, from superficial perception to a deeper understanding and feeling. Included are foundations of morality and moral motivation; biology, social intuitions, and culture; social perspective-taking and development; the stage construct and developmental delay; moral exemplars and moral identity; cognitive distortions, social skills deficiencies, and cognitive behavioral interventions or moral education; and, finally, near-death experiences and the underpinnings of the social and moral world.

Full textAbstract:
As the integrationist civil rights movement took shape, Attucks became one of the most prominent black figures to enter elementary and secondary school curricula and textbooks. In most mainstream texts he became merely a token black presence, yet some white commentators took issue with even this superficial elevation to the status of Revolutionary patriot, reviving the contention that Attucks was no more than a rabble-rousing ruffian. Meanwhile, black writers characterized him as everything from a peaceful integrationist to an Afrocentric rebel to a sellout Uncle Tom. Attucks was now more present than ever in the nation’s public schools and popular culture, but widespread disagreement remained regarding his status as a national hero to be honored by all, an embodiment of race pride, a symbol of violence and disorder, or an irrelevant nobody who should be forgotten.

Stephens, Jennie C., and Nils Markusson. Technological Optimism in Climate Mitigation. Edited by Debra J. Davidson and Matthias Gross. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190633851.013.29.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores and critiques technological optimism and the sociopolitical appeal of technological fixes with regard to energy and climate mitigation. The term “technical fix” is frequently used by academics and activists to describe the application of a technological solution to a social problem, where a reductive problem definition leads to only a partial and superficial solution. As the transition to lower-carbon energy systems proceeds, technological change, rather than social change, is consistently prioritized in climate policy discourse, despite well-established recognition of cultural and institutional changes involved in reducing fossil-fuel reliance. The history of development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies provides an illustrative example of technological optimism in climate mitigation. The political appeal of CCS as a prominent climate change mitigation approach showcases the tendency toward technological optimism and how promises of technological fixes have dominated political discourse surrounding climate mitigation.

Asian badgers—the same, only different: how diversity among badger societies informs socio-ecological theory and challenges conservation. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198759805.003.0013.
Full textAbstract:
Of thirteen extant species of true badger, eleven have a distribution in Asia, as do the more loosely affiliated stink- and honey-badgers. Even though these badgers show superficial similarities, they exhibit very different societies, even within same species under different circumstances, and provide an informative model to advance understanding of socio-ecology. They illustrate how group-living is promoted by natal philopatry, and food security; enabled by omnivory and hibernation in cold-winter regions. Conversely predatory, carnivorous species, and those competing for food security within a broader trophic guild, tend to be more solitary. This socio-ecological diversity poses conservation challenges, with Asian badgers vulnerable to habitat loss, urban and road development, direct conflict with people, culling to manage zoonotic disease transmission, and hunting pressure – often for traditional medicine. These threats are ever-more prevalent in expanding Asian economies, where cultural and attitudinal changes are urgently needed to safeguard biodiversity for the future.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the hitherto unquestioned consensus in Judaic studies that Judaism embraces a positive attitude towards sexuality. Grounded in the new scholarly trends of cultural and gender analysis as well as feminist critique and their impact on Jewish studies, it singles out four focal issues: sexuality in ancient rabbinic thought, to which the most scholarly attention has been directed; and issues in modern Halakhah that have just begun to inform scholarly research: the ethos of modesty and the construction of the female body; homosexuality and lesbianism; and reproduction and sexuality. The discussion reflects the tension between these two scholarly trends, and between the conceptual-theological stratum of Judaism and its reflection in the practical-legal sphere of Jewish law (Halakhah). This examination of Jewish attitudes towards sexuality, in light of the new scholarship, leads to the conclusion that although Judaism affirms sexuality, this cannot be grasped in a simple, superficial, or monolithic fashion.

Elizalde, Lydia, and Fernando Delmar. Lo sublime contemporáneo. Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.30973/2020/sublime.contemporaneo.
Full textAbstract:
La reflexión que integra este libro queda inscrita en cierta continuidad, en primer lugar, terminológica, oportunamente se vienen señalando los puntos de inflexión que dejan muy en claro que lo sublime es un término todavía vivo y, por ende, necesariamente sometido a determinados tipos de cambios, reajustes o matices según la presión del contexto socio-histórico (Burke en Valencia), socio-cultural (Lyotard en Villegas) o socio-económico (Jameson en Ríos). En segundo lugar, en la selección de los productores de imágenes, sean estáticas en la superficie del lienzo (Wang Wai y Michaux en Delmar; Freud y Rauch en Elizalde), sean en el montaje en movimiento (Sorrentino en Romero), el libro nos viene señalando nuevamente la tremenda resistencia estructural de un término como lo sublime o, cambiando de punto de vista, su esencial flexibilidad, para poder establecer una relación significativa. La suspensión de la continuidad, nutrida de precisas y muy puntuales discontinuidades, es la que hace toda la riqueza de lo sublime contemporáneo.

Beiser, Frederick C. David Friedrich Strauß, Father of Unbelief. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198859857.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book is an intellectual biography of one of the most controversial thinkers of nineteenth-century Germany: David Friedrich Strauß (1808–74). It examines Strauß’s intellectual development from his first work—Das Leben Jesu—to his last—Der alte und der neue Glaube. This is the first comprehensive study of all of Strauß’s most important theological and philosophical writings. It investigates in detail works that have been ignored or treated only superficially: the 1840 Die christliche Glaubenslehre, the 1864 Das Leben Jesu für das deutsche Volk, and the1865 Der Christus des Glaubens und der Jesus der Geschichte. It also examines many writings that have hitherto eluded scholarly attention, especially Strauß’s political writings. It also provides an account of Strauß’s early Tübingen lectures. This book is also a partial defense of Strauß as a philosopher. It argues that his biblical criticism did not presuppose the truth of any metaphysics but was only an application of the historical method. His method was essentially limited to an internal critique of the Bible and did not apply alien standards to it. Strauß’s theory of myth, which went through several formulations, was essentially an attempt to explain the social and cultural origin of religious belief. It did not hold that myths are fictions but only the expression of the values of a culture. The idea of a Volksgeist was not a metaphysical postulate but a heuristic maxim to investigate the social, political, and historical factors behind the formation of a religious belief. The book concludes with a chapter defending Strauß against his most eminent critics, Nietzsche, Treitschke, and Schweitzer.

Pouliot, Alison, and Tom May. Wild Mushrooming. CSIRO Publishing, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9781486311743.
Full textAbstract:
Fungi are diverse, delicious and sometimes deadly. With interest in foraging for wild food on the rise, learning to accurately identify fungi reduces both poisoning risk to humans and harm to the environment. This extensively illustrated guide takes a 'slow mushrooming' approach – providing the information to correctly identify a few edible species thoroughly, rather than many superficially.
Wild Mushrooming: A Guide for Foragers melds scientific and cultural knowledge with stunning photography to present a new way of looking at fungi. It models 'ecological foraging' – an approach based on care, conservation and a deep understanding of ecosystem dynamics.
Sections on where, when and how to find fungi guide the forager in the identification of 10 edible species. Diagnostic information on toxic fungi and lookalike species helps to differentiate the desirable from the deadly. Wild Mushrooming then takes us into the kitchen with cooking techniques and 29 recipes from a variety of cuisines that can be adapted for both foraged and cultivated fungi.
Developing the skills to find fungi requires slowness, not speed. This guide provides the necessary information for the safe collection of fungi, and is essential reading for fungus enthusiasts, ecologists, conservationists, medical professionals and anyone interested in the natural world.

Mignon, B., and M. Monod. Zoonotic infections with dermatophyte fungi. Oxford University Press, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780198570028.003.0077.
Full textAbstract:
Dermatophytes are highly specialized pathogenic fungi which are the most common agents of superficial mycoses. These fungi grow exclusively in the stratum corneum, nails or hair utilising them as sole nitrogen and carbon sources. Dermatophyte species are recognized and classified as antropophilic, zoophilic, or geophilic, depending on their major reservoir in nature (humans, animals, and soil, respectively). Zoophilic dermatophytes may result in zoonoses when humans are exposed to these organisms and dermatophytosis is considered to be one of the most common zoonotic diseases. The majority of zoonotic dermatophytoses are caused by four species: Microsporum canis (usually derived from pet animals, particularly cats and dogs), Trichophyton verrucosum (usually derived from cattle), Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii (usually derived from cats and dogs) and Arthroderma benhamiae (usually derived from guinea-pigs). Infection results most often from direct contact with an infected animal, but may be also acquired indirectly through contact with a contaminated environment. While clinical disease is rarely serious, the lesions can result in disfigurement and pain. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical appearance and diagnostic procedures, e.g. direct microscopic examination of scales, hair or nail and fungal culture. Specific treatment is generally required to resolve lesions, and this may be prolonged depending on the fungal species and the host status. Identifying animals as the source of infection for people can help in the prevention of recurrence or new infections, especially in children, by adequately treating affected pets and their environments. Immunoprophylaxis is an attractive means of controlling infection in animals, and the development and widespread use of efficacious T. verrucosum vaccines in certain countries has already proved valuable in the management of cattle ringworm.

Full textAbstract:
The decline of Christianity in the West is undeniable but commentators differ in their understanding of what this represents. For some, it shows a decline in interest in religion; for others, religion has not declined, only changed shape. Possible candidates for Christianity’s replacement are the new religious movements of the late 1960s and what is variously called New Age, alternative, or contemporary spirituality. This detailed study of the religious and spiritual innovations since the 1970s assesses their popularity in Britain and concludes that the ‘not-decline-just-change’ view is unsustainable. Serious interest in spirituality has grown far less quickly than has the number of people with no religious or spiritual interest. The most popular and enduring movements have been the least religious ones; those that have survived have done so by becoming more ‘this-worldly’ and less patently religious or spiritual. Yoga is popular but as a secular exercise programme; Transcendental Meditation now markets its technique as a purely secular therapy; British Buddhists now offer the secular Mindfulness; the Findhorn Foundation (Europe’s oldest New Age centre) no longer promotes counter-cultural communalism but sells its expertise to major corporations. The book also demonstrates that, although eastern religious themes such as reincarnation and karma have gained popularity as the power of Christianity to stigmatize them as dangerous has declined, such themes have also been significantly altered so that what superficially looks like the easternization of the West might better be described as the westernization of the easternization of the West.
