Barnett Newmans Plastik »Broken Obelisk«, Tanzfiguren in Bewegung und Balance sowie (Nicht-) und (Un-)Gleichgewicht als Zustände in der Physik haben vieles gemeinsam: Ordnung und Krise, Norm und Ambivalenz, Stabilität und Instabilität. Dabei werden diese Begriffspaare, die in ihrer Wahrnehmung kulturell konstruiert und historisch bedingt sind, in diesem Band als zusammengehörendes, sich wechselseitig bedingendes Spannungsverhältnis gedacht. Diese interdisziplinäre Perspektive eröffnet überraschende Einsichten in Praktiken und Strategien des (In)Stabilen, die sich insbesondere im Umschlagen von

This book is the first anthology of perspectives on the future of text, one of our most important mediums for thinking and communicating, with a Foreword by the co-inventor of the Internet, Vint. Cerf and a Postscript by the founder of the modern Library of Alexandria, Ismail Serageldin. In a time with astounding developments in computer special effects in movies and the emergence of powerful AI, text has developed little beyond spellcheck and blue links. In this work we look at myriads of perspectives to inspire a rich future of text through contributions from academia, the arts, business and

This chapter discusses the rules of law that apply when considering the best interests of the child, and how these may actively be used as arguments in a Child Protection Services (CPS) case. The primary focus is linked to the Child Welfare Act and the decisions and justifications of the CPS; however, the goal has also been to look at the national rules in the context of human rights. This applies particularly to the best interests of the child as a basic value of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. To understand an area of law it may also be necessary to have insight on the developments in this field. Discussions are being raised about making the quality of attachment a principle in its own right, about the child’s independent right to child protection services and the child’s right to participate and have influence. New challenges have been raised in the wake of decisions by the ECHR, where several judgments have been quite critical of Norwegian child protection practices. The impending new Child Welfare Act in Norway will affect CPS’ legal basis for the decisions it makes in the future. There is much to indicate that we are living in a time when the different interpretations of the best interests of the child are emerging more clearly.

Great strides had been made in the war against cancer with chemotherapy even before the emergence of protein kinase inhibitors. For instance, prior to vinblastine (1, Velban) became available in 1964 for the treatment of lymphoma, the diagnosis of Hodgkin’s disease (a cancer of the lymph nodes) was virtually a death sentence. Today there is a 90% chance of survival with the treatment by vinca alkaloids such as 1 and other chemotherapies. Similarly, when Sidney Farber discovered the effects of methotrexate (2, Trexall) on leukemia, it marked the beginning of the triumph over childhood leukemia. Following Barnett Rosenberg’s discovery of cisplatin (3, Platinol)’s effects on tumor cells in 1967, cisplatin and its analogs such as carboplatin (4, Paraplatin) and oxaliplatin (5, Eloxatin) contributed significantly in boosting the survival rate of patients with metastatic testicular cancer, ovarian tumors, and bladder cancer. Most significantly, breast cancer, a malady striking one in eight women, has been effectively managed via a plethora of treatments including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapies. The arsenal of chemotherapeutics for treating breast cancer includes SERMs such as tamoxifen (6) and raloxifene (7, Evista). Type I, II, and III aromatase inhibitors have now also been widely prescribed to combat breast cancers (more details may be found in chap. 4). Today, breast cancer is sometimes viewed as a chronic disease that can be managed, rather than a lethal disease. Despite the efficacy of the aforementioned chemotherapeutics, they kill cancer cells and normal cells with equal ferocity. (Some have compared chemotherapy to a “carpet bombing” strategy.) However, the reason these chemotherapies are effective is that cancer cells divide at much faster rate than normal cells; therefore, chemotherapies kill more malignant cells than healthy cells. Chemotherapies invariably come with significant side effects rooted. For example, hair follicle cells have a physiologically high mitosis rate; therefore, chemotherapies kill them faster than other healthy cells. In the same vein, other common side effects of chemotherapy include diarrhea (because ephithelial renewal is inhibited), bone marrow suppression (because granulopoiesis, thrombopoiesis, cytopoiesis, and erythropoiesis are inhibited), and lymph node damage (because of lymphocyte multiplication inhibition causes immune weakness).

In this article, we explore how children and youth participating in a multicultural festival in Norway construct space and place. Such events respond to the call to action for reducing prejudice and stereotypes, and they aim to promote inclusion, participation and community. Nonetheless, researchers have criticized such events for instead promoting categorical understandings of cultural identities; as such, some researchers regard multicultural festivals as counterproductive to the aim of promoting inclusion. However, previous research has directed scarce attention to the participants’ perspective, in particular viewpoints of children and youth. Inspired by perspectives on spatial justice (Soja, 1996, 2010), we interpret young people’s experiences and meaning making while attending a multicultural festival. We collected data through an app, which allowed us to conduct structured interviews with children and youths on site. The findings bring out the significance of space and place when interpreting young people’s participation and meaning making at such events. We conclude the article by reflecting on the potential of perspectives on space and place to nuance an often one-sided criticism of multicultural events.
