Abstract:

The historical experiences of workers organizing in Europe and the United States figure among the many forms of workers’ resistance resulting from the variety of labour relations in the global past. They cannot and will not be uniformly duplicated or copied from their present form in the global transformations of labour and workers’ movements that we are witnessing today. Nevertheless, in the twentieth century trade unionism as a form of collective agency among workers became a global phenomenon. With growing numbers of workers being exposed to wage labour and labour markets, the cases of work

Abstract:

Even before the 2016 presidential election took place, groups and individuals angry at Donald Trump, and frightened about what a Trump presidency could mean, were taking to the streets. After the election, and particularly after the Inaugural, the protests continued. Over time, the Resistance was joined by a broad variety of groups and embraced an increasing diversity of tactics. The Resistance details the emergence of a volatile and diverse movement directed against the Trump presidency. Bringing together a diverse group of scholars of social movements and American politics, the collection ex

Abstract:

A recent flurry of references to Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the context of political resistance shows that the story of his struggle against the Third Reich continues to animate imaginations across a broad political spectrum. Curious readers have long had access to a variety of Bonhoeffer biographies, all of which devote space to his resistance. And there are more specialized historical treatments that place his story in the context of the broader resistance to the Nazis. Beyond these biographical and historical accounts, however, there has been no comprehensive and accessible account of Bonhoeffe

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:

This chapter seeks to reconcile the persistent myth of the self-directed quadroon—women possessing one fourth black and three fourths white “blood”—finding love and quasi-marriage at a glamorous and respectable quadroon ball with the known history of the sexual exploitation of black women, both slave and free. White men frequently engaged in sexual relationships with women of color, including free women of color, in pre-Civil War Louisiana, yet fictionalized representations of the balls distort and obscure important realities about race, sex, and power in the nineteenth century.

In 1978 the Centre for Libyan Studies in Tripoli began organizing the collection and preservation of oral testimonies from former mujahidin, those who had taken up arms against the Italian occupation. The collection provides an invaluable source of memories of warfare and resistance in colonial North Africa. At the same time, however, it poses certain challenges to historians. The structure of the interviews emphasized military history over daily life in colonial Libya, and the context of Qadhafi’s Libya required a myopic focus on armed resistance that obscures the wide variety of responses to

It is not terribly controversial to claim that forfeiture is necessary for the permissibility of punishment, but there is widespread and deep-seated resistance to the more ambitious thesis that forfeiture is necessary and sufficient for the permissibility of punishment. Chapter 2 defends this strong version of rights forfeiture theory against a variety of apparently fatal objections, including the concern that it licenses gratuitous acts of punishment.

Abstract:

Writings on women workers in the global economy have generally taken as their starting point the rise in female employment in industries in the light manufacturing for export sector. Another issue covered by the literature on gender and labor is migration, where the racialized as well as gendered nature of employment is thrown into sharp focus. Migration has been a major concern in much of the recent feminist literature on gender and employment is because one of the most significant features of contemporary processes of migration has been the feminization of these flows.

This chapter outlines the natural history of infections caused by a variety of organisms. These organisms may already colonize a patient (endogenous) or come from another source (exogenous). They vary in the time it takes to cause symptoms (incubation period). Some are more infective than others, and the infective period varies depending on the organism. A range of diagnostic methods are used to identify the disease, from growing the organism (culture) to using molecular techniques to identify characteristics unique to the organism.

Although Donald Trump’s brand of exclusionary right-wing populism finds parallels in Europe and other parts of the world, his presidential election was a singular triumph for this type of populism in a major Western democracy. Societal resistance to Trump’s presidency is heavily conditioned by the grafting of his populist leadership onto the ideological agenda of a Republican Party transformed by the steady infusion of right-wing movement currents into its ranks. In a context of acute partisan polarization and increasingly flagrant transgressions of basic democratic norms and practices, this R

Species diversity can be partitioned into its basic components of richness (number of species) and evenness, and into spatial components (alpha, beta, gamma). Local extinction rates are often higher in situations where evenness is low due to low abundances in rare species.

The composition of this primitive urine is the consequence of the ultrafiltration of plasma depending on renal blood flow, on hydrostatic pressure of glomerular capillary, and on glomerular coefficient of ultrafiltration. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be precisely measured by the calculation of the clearance of freely filtrated exogenous substances that are neither metabolized nor reabsorbed nor secreted by tubules: its mean value is 125 mL/min/1.73 m² in men and 110 mL/min/1.73 m

The novel has often been interpreted theologically, expressing a form of radical nihilism in a modern world abandoned by God. However, it has just as often been read as a parable of the cold, inhumane rationality of modern bureaucratization. Like many other novels

This book offers a fresh insight into the conquests of Alexander the Great by attempting to view the events of 336–323 from the vantage point of the defeated. The extent, and form, of the resistance of those whose territories were invaded varied in accordance with previous relationships with either the Macedonian invader or the Achaemenids. The internal political situations of many states—particularly the Greek cities of Asia Minor—were also a factor. In the vast Persian Empire from the Aegean to the Indus, some states surrendered voluntarily, and others offered fierce resistance. Not all regi

Abstract:

Phenotypic positive youth civic development varies dramatically according to the political context in which it occurs. In democratic societies, successful individual development is reflected in commitment to and participation in existing civic structures. In contexts of oppression, however, positive youth civic development can include resistance and opposition. Research featuring designs that allow causal inferences is reviewed to identify developmental factors leading to positive youth civic development and political engagement. The impacts of family transitions, education, work, and communit

Abstract:

Due to the absence of a definitive pathological finding, objective biomarker, or imaging correlate, neuropathic pain syndromes may be graded as possible or probable depending on the results of neurological assessment. It is important to acknowledge the diagnostic uncertainty inherent in such a grading system based on probability in a condition for which there is no “gold standard” upon which to base validation studies. Neuropathic pain is a multidimensional entity, and specific syndromes may have distinct sensory profiles (i.e. different combinations of sensory signs and symptoms). Clinical su

Abstract:

French scholars have been remarkably resistant to the idea that fascism ever had much purchase as a political force in France. Yet, this article argues that, whatever the authentic ‘fascist’ credentials of the various French movements that have begged classification by scholars of fascism, it was a configuration of contextual factors which kept them out of power rather than the intrinsic ideological weakness of fascism as a political force. The question is how far any of them were fascist and why their advocates failed to seize power. This article reconstructs some of the conversations in whic

Abstract:

‘Jacobinism’ as perceived and experienced outside France varied between local contexts, the rich diversity of responses to the French Revolution reflecting the ideas, symbols and rhetoric emanating from France, but also pre-existing political and ideological trends, earlier attempts at reform, the specific structures of society and the scale of resistance to change. There were commonalities that included similarities in ideology, rhetoric, symbols and practices, but international Jacobinism was never a coherent ideology or political movement. ‘Jacobins’ outside France were, moreover, usually m

Abstract:

This introductory chapter considers how something as seemingly mundane as a ponytail is actually shot through with substantial and varied cultural significance. Unquestionably, the hairstyle provides a practical solution for dealing with longer hair, but what it comes to mean, how it is taken up in mediated discourse, the ways it becomes synonymous with female athletes, and its relationships to sexuality, age, race, nationality, and culture engender a normative, athletic femininity in the context of U.S. women's sports. At the same time, there are dynamics of power, pleasure, agency, and resis

Abstract:

Friedrich Schiller, the grand master of the classical aesthetic of autonomy, was also a political thinker. In the 1790s, reading Immanuel Kant upset him, as did the French Revolution: abuse of power, political resistance, conspiracy and tyrannicide are just a few of the genuinely political themes that he repeatedly varies in literary terms. The articles in this volume consider the connection between the political, legal and ethical dimensions of Schiller's work. In addition to his 'big' dramas as well as his philosophical and historical writings, they examine the nexus of ethics, law and polit

Abstract:

Can a history of cure be more than a history of how disease comes to an end? In 1950s Madras, an international team of researchers demonstrated that antibiotics were effective in treating tuberculosis. But just half a century later, reports out of Mumbai stoked fears about the spread of totally drug-resistant strains of the disease. Had the curable become incurable? Through an anthropological history of tuberculosis treatment in India, Bharat Jayram Venkat examines what it means to be cured, and what it means for a cure to come undone. At the Limits of Cure tells a story that stretches from th

We gathered twenty-two articles from dozens of researchers in this collection and organized them into three parts. The varied themes are broad and general enough to give us an overview of the importance of social research in our universities. The articles talk about newborns and children about their desired well-being and children's literature, about health, social assistance and various hospital care. They also address philosophical themes and popular religiosity and pentecostalism in times of crisis, with an interest in the lives of youth in university residences and libraries, the resistanc

Tuberculosis is an important infection globally, with 1.45 million deaths attributed to tuberculosis in 2010 by the World Health Organization. Respiratory physicians need to be familiar with the varied presentations and management of this disease. In addition, the proportion of cases now presenting with extrapulmonary disease are approximately half of all cases, and of particular relevance is mediastinal node tuberculosis which represents about 10% of all cases of tuberculosis in the United Kingdom.

Abstract:

The fragility of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) accounts for their frequent hospitalization and their high intensive care unit risk. Therapy for AECOPD is varied and the need for hospitalization must be always carefully evaluated, considering the risk factors related to the presence of multi-resistant pathogens or the need of invasive procedures. The prolonged use of oxygen therapy requires an accurate monitoring of blood gases and continuous oximetry. Inhalation therapy can be performed using nebulizers, predosed aerosols or powders for inha

This chapter compares incantations that are similar in purpose and formulation: incantations against snakes and scorpions; incantations against fever and illness; amatory incantations; and curses or prayers for justice. The ways in which incantations in these different groups are ‘christianized’ varies. Commonplace incantations against snakes and scorpions are resistant to change, but may be framed with Christian elements. Incantations against fever and illness may juxtapose customary and Christian elements or may be formulated in a wholly Christian idiom. On the basis of the formulation and w
