Abstract:
The Conclusion seeks to make clear not only where the discussion has taken the reader, but also how the journey should be understood. Throughout the eleven chapters of the book we have engaged in an exploratory search for an answer to the question: what are the democratic prospects during a full-scale climate crisis? It is an inquiry that takes the reader from the global to the local level. After briefly summarizing the sections of the book, this Conclusion then underscores the way in which climate “crisis” is a political and ecological crisis. Against worries about eco-authoritarianism, it clarifies the contribution of eco-localism and the role it can play, but also presents its limits. In this regard, it calls for a form of global eco-localism. It closes by stressing the need for a more relevant environmental political theory useful to those who will confront the full force of climate crisis ahead.

Abstract:
What is a project? How is it organized? Projects: A Very Short Introduction looks at how projects have developed since the industrial revolution to create the human-built world in which we live, work, and play. Considering some of our greatest endeavours—such as the Erie Canal, Apollo Moon landing, and Chinese eco-city projects—it identifies how projects are organized and managed to design and produce large and complex systems, cope with fast changing conditions, and deal with the immense uncertainties required to create breakthrough innovations in products and services. It concludes by considering how projects could be organized to address the challenges facing the post-industrial society of the 21st century.

Full text
Abstract:
The spectrum of acute kidney injury (AKI) encountered in the hospitals of the tropical zone countries is different from that seen in the non-tropical climate countries, most of which are high-income countries. The difference is explained in large part by the influence of environment on the epidemiology of human disease. The key features of geographic regions falling in the tropical zones are climatic, that is, high temperatures and absence of winter frost, and economic, that is, lower levels of income. The causes and presentation of tropical AKI reflect these prevailing cultural, socioeconomic, climatic, and eco-biological characteristics.Peculiarities of tropical climate support the propagation of several infectious organisms that can cause AKI and the disease-transmitting vectors. In contrast to the developed world, where AKI usually develops in already hospitalized patients with multiorgan problems and iatrogenic factors play a major role, tropical AKI is acquired in the community due to issues of public health importance such as safe water, sanitation, infection control, and good obstetric practices. Infections such as malaria, leptospirosis, typhus, HIV, and diarrhoeal diseases; envenomation by animals or insects; ingestion of toxic herbs or chemicals; intravascular haemolysis; poisoning; and obstetric complications form the bulk of AKI in the tropics. Poor access to modern medical facilities and practices such as seeking treatment from traditional faith-healers contribute to poor outcomes.AKI extracts macro- and microeconomic costs from the affected population and reduces productivity. Improvement in the outcomes of tropical AKI requires improvement in basic public health through effective interventions, and accessibility to effective medical care.

Full text
Abstract:
This bookanalyzes diverse representations of environmental moral engagement in contemporary mediated popular culture. It identifies and explores intertwining, co-constitutive, yet contrary stories of what the author terms “ecopiety” and “consumopiety” as they flow across multiple media platforms. The way these stories compete and conflict, vying for space as contested narratives in the public imagination, constitutes a central inquiry of the book. Drawing together theoretical insights from cultural studies, media studies, environmental humanities, and religious studies, the book offers a critical reading of primary source data drawn from such areas as the marketing of green consumer products, “greenwashed” corporate advertising, environmental mobile device applications, eco-themed reality television, the marketing of eco-funerals, Internet sharing of environmental tattoos, “green” fashion guides, and the media strategies of green hiphop activism. Taylor makes the case that a detailed, multichannel, cross-platform approach to cultural analysis is critical to understanding the kind of important “work” taking place as mediated popular culture plays an integral role in the “greening” of American moral sensibilities. Ecopiety delves into the complex and contested processes of remaking our world and rescripting the future in the digital age—a time when storytelling processes themselves are shaping and being shaped by new media outlets and digital sharing technologies.

Abstract:
The forty established and emerging scholars whose work is included in this volume bring an expansive understanding of feminism to questions of embodiment in Shakespeare and early modern studies. Using a diverse range of methods—historicism, psychoanalysis, queer theory, critical race studies, postcolonialism, posthumanism, eco-criticism, animal studies, disability studies, textual editing, performance and media studies—they present original readings of Shakespeare’s plays and poems while situating his work both in the early modern period and the present day. Paying particular attention to the intersections of gender with race and sexuality, the volume collectively offers an exciting snapshot of the ways that ‘feminism’ and ‘Shakespeare’ continue to speak to and challenge each another.

Full text
Abstract:
The chapter discusses instances where the restructuring plan demands that the debtor be made subject to a formal insolvency system. The applicable laws are determined in accordance with the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings if the debtor has its centre of main interests (COMI) in one EU Member State and assets in another Member State. If the COMIs of individual group companies are situated in the same Member State, the EC Regulation can be used to group together the administration of group insolvencies, or once the recast EC Regulation comes into force, to implement voluntary group coordinator proceedings. Any restructuring plan may include moving a debtor’s COMI to take advantage of a more flexible insolvency regime. This chapter describes the framework and key features of the EC Regulation including the concept of COMI, its application to group insolvencies, ‘COMI shifting’, and the provisions of the recast EC Regulation.

This dialogue brings Buddhist thought into conversation with Protestant Christian theological ethics. The chapter examines the worldly and spiritual conflicts and connections of flourishing in Buddhist philosophy, and how those concepts echo Christian writings. Dialogue follows about Buddhist and Christian views of the afterlife, as well as suffering and impermanence, goodness and permanence, and how there can be happiness in both permanence and impermanence. Further discussion about how the tensions between material and spiritual flourishing play out in other aspects of life prompts questions about whether the world may be seen as good, what counts as good, and where value lies.

Full text
Abstract:
Stimulus without debt for any economically advanced country with its own central bank is the same as for the United States. In the eurozone there is one central bank, the European Central Bank (ECB), but many member countries, each with its own national government and legislature for setting government spending, tax rates, and fiscal stimulus. This chapter proposes that under a stimulus-without-debt plan for the eurozone, the ECB would use a formula to determine the transfer it would give to the treasury of each national government in a recession, just as the US Congress has used a formula to determine the federal transfer it gives to the treasury of each state government in a recession and also for nonrecession programs.

Abstract:
The euro is at a crossroads. Not only has it been blamed for having contributed to the European crisis and for preventing a solution, but there is a growing conflict between many in Germany and the European Central Bank (ECB), the guardian of the euro and the common monetary policy. This division and isolated views in Germany are worrisome. Why do politicians, the media, and in particular, economists differ so fundamentally in their views on the euro and monetary policy? How is it possible that in this age, in which information is abundantly available and shared globally, nationality and the environment in which people operate play such a big role? What does it mean for the future of Europe?

Full text
Abstract:
Perioperative echocardiography is one of the fastest growing areas of echocardiography. Although transthoracic imaging has a role, intraoperative imaging is mostly undertaken using transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE).The indications for perioperative echo have recently been re-evaluated, resulting in recognition of the ubiquitous benefit in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and recognition of the value in non-cardiac surgery and critical care also.Although TOE is safe, it should be remembered that there may be a greater risk of traumatic damage to the soft tissues in anaesthetized patients who cannot complain of pain during probe insertion.Perioperative imaging should be used to confirm and refine the preoperative diagnosis, detect new or unsuspected pathology, adjust the anaesthetic and surgical plan, and assess the results of surgical intervention. Using imaging to optimize myocardial function is a constantly developing technique, and one which may ensure that patients leave the operating room in the best possible condition. The use of perioperative echo in some procedures, for example, in mitral repair, is now regarded as so valuable that it is arguable that perioperative TOE should be mandatory in these cases.

This chapter examines key legal instruments and mechanisms relevant to international renewable energy regulation. These play an important role in governing unified action and enhancing collaboration and information-sharing on effective policies and investment frameworks aimed at reducing barriers and risks to investments in renewable energy. The mechanisms that are analysed are the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Statute, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto Protocol and related international climate change negotiations and declarations, the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), and various sector-specific treaties. The chapter also turns its attention to the primary international organizations that influence present and future directions in international renewable energy policy, such as the Nairobi Programme of Action for the Development and Utilization of New and Renewable Sources of Energy, International Energy Agency, Development Banks, and the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership.

Rhodes, Neil. The Common Stage. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198704102.003.0007.

Full text
Abstract:
The emergence of the public theatres in England during the last quarter of the sixteenth century reinvigorated the polemics against fiction which characterized the Reformation era. This chapter focuses on the 1590s, when the ‘private’ theatres were closed, and shows Marlowe in dialogue with Gosson as he strives extravagantly to go beyond the common. It then turns to Shakespeare, whose Venus and Adonis rejects the common, but whose most popular play, 1 Henry IV, created its appeal through its deliberate transgressions of rank, while offering a critique of popularity itself. In Hamlet this takes the form of a critique of the commonplace, as the aesthetic of the common stage is challenged by the reopened ‘private’ theatres. At the end of the decade, anthologies such as Bodenham's Belvedere provide a vernacular echo of Erasmus’ compilations at the beginning of the century as vehicles through which the common could achieve literary status.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 8 provides a new perspective on familiar debates about deteriorating relations between Russia and the West, which have all too often overlooked the crucial internal development in Russia that this study has identified. The Russian bourgeoisie have largely endorsed Putin’s nostalgic conservatism and patriotism, especially since the Russian annexation of the Crimea. However, other, more long-term factors are also at play. Wealthy Russians in the 1990s had an inferiority complex in relation to the West after decades of Cold War isolation. Their subsequent exposure to Western life has not led to closer political ties but, paradoxically, to feelings of disillusionment with the West and, in an echo of nineteenth-century Slavophile views, a growing sense of the Russian elite’s own superiority. This final chapter discusses the settlement of rich Russians in London; the city favored by émigrés; Russia’s difficult relationship with the West; and why many elite Russians think their culture is morally superior.

Abstract:
This book has investigated how Bolivian market and working class women suffered from emotional distress wrought by the social and economic changes of the 1990s due to neoliberal reforms. Focusing on the stories of women in Punata, it has shown how neoliberalism and its moral dimensions transformed bodies into new sites of consumption, desire, and aspiration, which must contend with the social mores that piece together sociality. The findings of this book add to the scholarship on emotions, embodiment, and social suffering in the Andes by highlighting the ways in which intimate narratives of market and working-class women are intrinsically linked to broader national and transnational political economic relationships. This conclusion takes a look at multiple attitudes toward the government of Evo Morales, who promised to dismantle Bolivia's neoliberal agenda after winning the presidential election in December 2005. It also reflects on how emotions constitute a fruitful site from which to examine the effects of globalization and the role they play in reconfiguring social relations.

Full text
Abstract:
Shakespeare and Ecology is the first book to explore the topical contexts that shaped the environmental knowledge and politics of Shakespeare and his audiences. Early modern England experienced unprecedented environmental challenges including climate change, population growth, resource shortfalls, and habitat destruction which anticipate today's globally magnified crises. Shakespeare wove these events into the poetic textures and embodied action of his drama, contributing to the formation of a public ecological consciousness, while opening creative pathways for re-imagining future human relationships with the natural world and non-human life. This book begins with an overview of ecological modernity across Shakespeare's work before focusing on three major environmental controversies in particular plays: deforestation in The Merry Wives of Windsor and The Tempest; profit-driven agriculture in As You Like It; and gunpowder warfare and remedial cultivation in Henry IV Parts One and Two, Henry V, and Macbeth. A fourth chapter examines the interdependency of local and global eco-relations in Cymbeline, and the final chapter explores Darwinian micro-ecologies in Hamlet and Antony and Cleopatra. An epilogue suggests that Shakespeare's greatest potential for mobilizing modern ecological ideas and practices lies in contemporary performance. Shakespeare and Ecology illuminates the historical antecedents of modern ecological knowledge and activism, and explores Shakespeare's capacity for generating imaginative and performative responses to today's environmental challenges.

Morton, Jonathan. The Golden Age. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198816669.003.0005.

Full text
Abstract:
The Rose uses pagan myths of a prehistoric Golden Age as a necessarily artificial way of approaching the unthinkable period, a state of pure nature, that pre-existed humans’ entry into culture. The incompatibility of the different poetic versions of primitive myth, taken especially from Ovid and Virgil, suggests their own status as imperfect, artificial epistemological prostheses. The end of the Golden Age is used to understand the emergence of the ego out of a state of communality understood as purely natural, drawing both on natural law and the Christian doctrine of the Fall. Genius’s speech, which plays off different myths of the Golden Age against each other, makes it impossible to overlook the compromised artificiality which necessarily renders all of the Rose’s accounts of the Golden Age fundamentally contingent.

Full text
Abstract:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common inherited heart disease caused by genetic mutations in cardiac sarcomeric proteins. Although most patients are asymptomatic and many remain undiagnosed, the clinical presentation and natural history include sudden cardiac death, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography plays an essential role in the diagnosis, serial monitoring, prognostic stratification, and family screening. Advances in Doppler myocardial imaging and deformation analysis have improved preclinical diagnosis as well as the differential diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy. Finally, echocardiography is closely involved in patient selection and in intraoperative guidance and monitoring of septal reduction procedures. This chapter describes the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, role of echocardiography, morphological features, differential diagnosis, diagnostic criteria in first-degree relatives, echo guidance for the treatment of symptomatic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and follow-up and monitoring of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Full text
Abstract:
The legacy of the Second World War remains unsettled; no consensus has been achieved about its meaning and its lasting impact. This is pre-eminently the case in France, where the experience of defeat and occupation created the grounds for a deeply ambiguous mixture of resistance and collaboration, pride and humiliation, heroism and abjection, which writers and politicians have been trying to disentangle ever since. This book develops a theoretical approach which draws on trauma studies and hermeneutics; and it then focuses on some of the intellectuals who lived through the war and on how their experience and troubled memories of it continue to echo through their later writing, even and especially when it is not the explicit topic. This was an astonishing generation of writers who would go on to play a pivotal role on a global scale in post-war aesthetic and philosophical endeavours. The book proposes close readings of works by some of the most brilliant amongst them: Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Charlotte Delbo, Paul Ricoeur, Emmanuel Levinas, Louis Althusser, Jorge Semprun, Elie Wiesel, and Sarah Kofman.

Full text
Abstract:
Reflective practice takes on a particular shape in classical music. The aim of this chapter is to identify some elements of classical music that distinguish it from other genres of music, and to consider how these elements may affect the kind of reflection in which classical musicians—and classical musicians-in-the-making—engage. The chapter, which is partly based on student practice diaries and interviews with professional musicians, argues that the distinguishing elements of classical music performance are a focus on interpretation, interest in following the composer’s intentions, concern about excessive demonstration of the performer’s ego, and a respect for the printed score as the ultimate repository of truth about the work. These elements seem to encourage musicians to frame their choices either with little acknowledgement of their own agency or in terms that reflect some tension between what they feel and what they perceive as the composer’s intentions. Much work remains to be done on the ways in which these self-abnegations or uncertainties play out, but by bringing their underlying ideologies to the surface young performers in particular could fruitfully harness as well as challenge them.

Full text
Abstract:
The problem of the repeated parts of organisms was at the center of the biological sciences as early as the first decades of the 19th century. Some concepts and theories (e.g., serial homology, unity of plan, or colonial theory) introduced in order to explain the similarity as well as the differences between the repeated structures of an organism were reused throughout the 19th and the 20th century, in spite of the fundamental changes during this long period that saw the diffusion of the evolutionary theory, the rise of experimental approaches, and the emergence of new fields and disciplines. Interestingly, this conceptual heritage was at the core of any attempt to unify the problems of inheritance, development, and evolution, in particular in the last decades, with the rise of “evo-devo.” This chapter examines the conditions of this theoretical continuity and the challenges it brings out for the current evolutionary sciences.
