This book explores an important moment in Italian women s theatre and cultural history: plays written for all-women casts between 1946 and the mid-1960s authored for the most part by women and performed exclusively by women. Because they featured only female roles they concentrated on aspects of specifically women s experience be it their spirituality their future lives as wives and mothers their present lives as workers or students or their relationships with friends sisters and mothers. Most often performed in a Catholic environment they were meant to both entertain and educate reflecting the specific issues that both performers and spectators had to confront in the years between the end of the war and the beginning of the economic miracle. --Page 4 of cover.

The main idea of the present study is to demonstrate that the qualitative theory of diffe- rential equations when applied to problems in fluid-and gasdynamics will contribute to the understanding of qualitative aspects of fluid flows in particular those concerned with geometrical properties of flow fields such as shape and stability of its streamline patterns. It is obvious that insight into the qualitative structure of flow fields is of great importance and appears as an ultimate aim of flow research. Qualitative insight fashions our know- ledge and serves as a good guide for further quantitative investigations. Moreover quali- tative information can become very useful especially when it is applied in close corres- pondence with numerical methods in order to interpret and value numerical results. A qualitative analysis may be crucial for the investigation of the flow in the neighbourhood of singularities where a numerical method is not reliable anymore due to discretisation er- rors being unacceptable. Up till now familiar research methods -frequently based on rigorous analyses careful nu- merical procedures and sophisticated experimental techniques -have increased considera- bly our qualitative knowledge of flows albeit that the information is often obtained indirectly by a process of a careful but cumbersome examination of quantitative data. In the past decade new methods are under development that yield the qualitative infor- mation more directly. These methods make use of the knowledge available in the qualitative theory of differen- tial equations and in the theory of bifurcations.

BY THE WINNER OF THE 2020 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize A powerful mix of science and ethics . . . This book is required reading for every concerned citizen--the material it covers should be discussed in schools colleges and universities throughout the country. -- New York Review of Books Not since the atomic bomb has a technology so alarmed its inventors that they warned the world about its use. That is until 2015 when biologist Jennifer Doudna called for a worldwide moratorium on the use of the gene-editing tool CRISPR--a revolutionary new technology that she helped create--to make heritable changes in human embryos. The cheapest simplest most effective way of manipulating DNA ever known CRISPR may well give us the cure to HIV genetic diseases and some cancers. Yet even the tiniest changes to DNA could have myriad unforeseeable consequences to say nothing of the ethical and societal repercussions of intentionally mutating embryos to create better humans. Writing with fellow researcher Sam Sternberg Doudna--who has since won the Nobel Prize for her CRISPR research--shares the thrilling story of her discovery and describes the enormous responsibility that comes with the power to rewrite the code of life. The future is in our hands as never before and this book explains the stakes like no other. -- George Lucas An invaluable account . . . We owe Doudna several times over. -- Guardian

For more than 200 years everyday life in Britain has been beset by a variety of dangers from the mundane to the life-threatening. Governing Risks in Modern Britain focuses on the steps taken to manage these dangers and to prevent accidents since approximately 1800. It brings together cutting-edge research to help us understand the multiple and contested ways in which dangers have been governed. It demonstrates that the category of risk broadly defined provides a new means of historicising some key developments in British society. Chapters explore road safety and policing environmental and technological dangers and occupational health and safety. The book thus brings together practices and ideas previously treated in isolation situating them in a common context of risk-related debates dilemmas and difficulties. Doing so it argues advances our understanding of how modern British society has been governed and helps to set our risk-obsessed present in some much needed historical perspective.

The feeling of distress which is caused due to damaging or intense stimuli is termed as pain. It can be associated with potential or actual tissue damage. It can be broadly classified into acute and chronic pain. Acute pain is resolved in a relatively short period of time while chronic pain might persist for years. Pain can be a symptom for a large number of medical conditions. The diagnosis of these conditions can be conducted by measuring the location onset pattern and quality of pain. The treatment of pain can involve providing medications psychological support and alternative medicine. Acute pain is managed generally through analgesics and anesthetics. This book strives to provide a fair idea about the diagnosis and treatment of pain and to help develop a better understanding of the latest researches within this field. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field.

This book assesses the mediating role played by affections in eighteenth-century contestations about reason and passion questioning their availability and desirability outside textual form. It examines the formulation and idealization of this affective category in works by Isaac Watts Lord Shaftesbury Mary Hays William Godwin Helen Maria Williams and William Wordsworth. Part I outlines how affections are invested with utopian potential in theology moral philosophy and criticism re-imagining what it might mean to know emotion. Part II considers attempts of writers at the end of the period to draw affections into literature as a means of negotiating a middle way between realism and idealism expressivism and didacticism particularity and abstraction subjectivity and objectivity femininity and masculinity radicalism and conservatism and the foreign and the domestic.

Rice is the staple food for half of the world s population. Consumption of rice is the major exposure route globally to the class one non-threshold carcinogen inorganic arsenic. This book explains the sources of arsenic to paddy soils and the biogeochemical processes and plant physiological attributes of paddy soil-rice ecosystems that lead to high concentrations of arsenic in rice grain. It presents the global pattern of arsenic concentration and speciation in rice discusses human exposures to inorganic arsenic from rice and the resulting health risks. It also highlights particular populations that have the highest rice consumptions which include Southern and South East Asians weaning babies gluten intolerance sufferers and those consuming rice milk. The book also presents the information of arsenic concentration and speciation in other major crops and outlines approaches for lowering arsenic in rice grain and in the human diet through agronomic management.

Progress in medical science and the deeping of physician experience in general make continuing education a fundamental obligation on the part of the practicing physician. Besides academies of advanced medical training we feel that medical schools and uni- versities offer a particularly good setting for continuing medical education. When the Hannover Medical School established West Germany s fIrst Department of Trauma Surgery in 1970 we committed ourselves to this goal and instituted the Hannover Trauma Seminars as a regional forum for continuing physician education. Made up almost entirely of our colleagues at the Trauma Surgery Clinic the basic goal of the seminars is to review new discoveries and techniques in the fIeld of traumatology and assess their practical relevance to the physician who treats trauma victims. In addition to research the experience ofthe Hannover School of Trauma Surgery form an important basis for seminar activities. The fIrst Trauma Seminar was held on February 2 1972. Initially copies ofthe proceed- ings were simply distributed to all interested participants. But as attendance grew and demand for the proceedings increased it became necessary to seek a broader form of publication. Henceforth the Hannover Trauma Seminars will be published as part of the Topics in Traumatology series. For this we are grateful to Springer Verlag and to series editors Jorg Re and Leonhard Schweiberer.

Kein Gegenstand veranlasste häufiger die Änderung des Grundgesetzes als die bundesstaatliche Ordnung. Der Verfassungsgesetzgeber sah sich immer wieder veranlasst in einer sich dynamisch wandelnden Industrie- und Dienstleistungsgesellschaft aber auch unter den Herausforderungen von deutscher Einheit von Europäisierung und Globalisierung die Zuweisung von staatlichen Aufgaben und öffentlichen Mitteln neu zu justieren. Abseits dieser formalen Änderungen erweist sich Politik im Bundesstaat auch in dem Sinne als dynamisch weil sie Wege der Aufgabenerfüllung und Problemlösung auch jenseits bestehender Strukturen findet und entwickelt. Der deutsche Bundesstaat ist demzufolge um Einiges flexibler und leistungsfähiger als manche Defizit- und Krisenanzeige (Politikverflechtungsfalle Konsensfalle verkappter Einheitsstaat) vermuten lässt. Gleichwohl lassen sich zahlreiche Defizite hinsichtlich Effizienz und Transparenz insbesondere hinsichtlich der Zuordnung von politischer Verantwortlichkeit konstatieren. Der vorliegende Band bemüht sich darum die verschiedenen Ansätze der Forschung herauszuarbeiten. Das Buch bietet insbesondere Studierenden die Möglichkeit den Stand der Forschung über den Föderalismus im Allgemeinen und den deutschen Bundesstat im Besonderen kennen zu lernen.

Economics for a Civilized Society incorporates both self-interest and civic value motivations to provide an understanding of how our economic system works and how we can develop economic policies that assures a prosperous and civil society. Conventional economics policies involving inflation the money supply unemployment international trade and payments require that some people suffer so that others thrive in a zero sum game context. Civilized economic policies will employ all of society s resources to work for the betterment of both individuals families and the community. From taxes to international trade the Davidsons show how to surmount today s seemingly intractable economic problems with civilized programmes.
