Abstract:

Kiev has always revealed a surprising capacity for assimilation, giving rise over time to multi-ethnic, multi-faith and multi-cultural contexts of various types. Thinking of the "Kiev text" leads inevitably to consideration of the other emblematic text of the Ukrainian identity, the no less composite reality of Lviv. This publication contains the contributions presented at a Conference (Milan, February 2007) addressed to the "cultural text" of Kiev and Lviv. The authors are specialists with different cultural profiles, and the book is of a deliberately inter-disciplinary character. In view of

Abstract:

This chapter discusses mixed Hodge structures (MHS). It first defines the abstract category of Hodge structures and introduces spectral sequences. The decomposition on the cohomology of Kähler manifolds is used to prove the degeneration at rank 1 of the spectral sequence defined by the filtration F on the de Rham complex in the projective nonsingular case. The chapter then introduces an abstract definition of MHS as an object of interest in linear algebra. It then attempts to develop algebraic homology techniques on filtered complexes up to filtered quasi-isomorphisms of complexes. Finally, th

Academics use a variety of rationalizations to make sense of their work and to justify practices that they themselves recognize as having little value to the wider world.

As illusions of illusions, they foreground many dramatic themes common to a wide variety of periods and cultures.

Abstract:

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the fastest growing neurodevelopmental disorder. Approximately 1% of the world’s population is affected. Patients with ASD have impairment in social interactions and communication and exhibit repetitive and restrictive behaviors and interests. The exact etiology of the condition is unknown, and it is believed to be multifactorial in origin—genetic predisposition and environmental factors have been implicated. Patients with ASD can be highly intelligent or severely developmentally delayed. The wide variety of clinical presentations poses serious challenges to t

Abstract:

This chapter charts the nature of prose fiction from the beginning of printing to the start of the Restoration period. The development, diversity, and increasing popularity of prose fiction from this era are an extraordinary literary phenomenon. Prose romance circulated from the 1470s through the sixteenth century in both print and manuscript, and formed the cornerstone of prose narrative during the late fifteenth through to the mid-sixteenth centuries. While it is impossible to find a great deal of hard evidence about the early readership for these works, their proliferation and their variety

Abstract:

If there is a fundamental musical subject of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B Minor, a compositional problem the work explores, it is the tension between two styles cultivated in church music of Bach’s time. One style was modern and drew on up-to-date music such as the instrumental concerto and the opera aria. The other was old-fashioned and fundamentally vocal, borrowing and adapting the style of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, his sixteenth-century contemporaries, and his seventeenth-century imitators. The movements that make up Bach’s Mass can be read as exploring the entire spectrum of

Abstract:

The two objectives of ensuring early appropriate antimicrobial treatment for septic patients on the intensive care unit (ICU), and limiting emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance are both complicated and potentially conflicting. Increasingly unpredictable resistance, particularly amongst Gram-negative bacteria, through both local selection and transmission, and importation of globally successful resistant clones encourages the use of broad-spectrum empiric antimicrobials for septic patients, including in combination. This may lead to a vicious cycle whereby increasing antibiotic use

Abstract:

In The Anti-Heroine on Contemporary Television: Transgressive Women, Molly Brost explores the various applications and definitions of the term anti-heroine, showing that it has been applied to a wide variety of female characters on television that have little in common beyond their failure to behave in morally “correct” and traditionally feminine ways. Rather than dismiss the term altogether, Brost employs the term to examine what types of behaviors and characteristics cause female characters to be labeled anti-heroines, how those qualities and behaviors differ from those that cause men to be

Abstract This book explores central aspects of English national, spiritual, and cultural identity through a detailed analysis of a familiar figure: the Franciscan Friar. Covering more than four hundred years from the late fourteenth to the late eighteenth centuries, and taking in a wide variety of different literary and artistic forms, the book charts the changing face of the Franciscan friar in the English literary imagination and examines how developments within this evolving tradition were both shaped by and have helped to shape wider debates within English culture about the relationship be

Abstract:

There are many cultural myths about serial killers, often propagated even by mental health professionals. Many assume there is a profile of a serial killer, that serial killers always go for the same victim type or always use the same MO, that they are more clever than ordinary people, and that they are inevitably charming and attractive. The truth is not as simple as that. There are different types of serial killers, and while there are many books that discuss the serial killer phenomenon especially in relationship to victim types or context, researchers have not yet been able to come up with

Abstract:

Chapter 2 foregrounds the discussion of policy impact by individual foreign policy leaders. It explores the varied perspectives toward war and equality that are associated with women in Western cultures. The discussion shows how efforts to present half of humanity as a homogeneous unit have fallen short—whether those attempts portray the group as consistently pacifist, feminist, or otherwise. The chapter develops a normative proposition that in liberal democratic systems, executives should ideally carry forward disparate outlooks that roughly approximate the distribution of policy views in the
