Shaping a Muslim State The World of a Mid-Eighth-Century Egyptian Official

Shaping a Muslim State The World of a Mid-Eighth-Century Egyptian Official
Petra M. Sijpesteijn, "Shaping a Muslim State: The World of a Mid-Eighth-Century Egyptian Official "
English | ISBN: 019967390X | 2014 | 424 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Shaping a Muslim State provides a synthetic study of the political, social, and economic processes which formed early Islamic Egypt. Looking at a corpus of previously unknown Arabic papyrus letters, dating from between AD 730 and 750, which were written to a Muslim administrator and merchant in the Fayyum oasis in Egypt, Sijpesteijn examines the reasons for the success of the early Arab conquests and the transition from the pre-Islamic Byzantine system and its Egyptian executors to an Arab/Muslim state.

Sex, Drugs, And Hivaids In Brazil

Sex, Drugs, And Hivaids In Brazil
James A. Inciardi, "Sex, Drugs, And Hiv/aids In Brazil"
English | ISBN: 036709620X | 2019 | 200 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Brazil ranked second only to the United States in the number of reported cases of AIDS. Because Brazil's extensive poverty and inequality, its fragile economic situation, and its limited network of health services, the scarce prevention/intervention resources targeted only the most visible at risk populations - gay men, sailors, prostitutes, and street children. Virtually forgotten were Brazil's hidden drug users, as well as the tens of millions of individuals living in the country's thousands of favelas, or shantytowns, which are a characteristic part of almost every Brazilian city. In Sex, Drugs, and HIV/AIDS in Brazil the authors examine the emergence of AIDS in Brazil, its linkages to drug use and the sexual culture, and its epidemiology in such populations as cocaine users, "street children," and male transvestite prostitutes. Special attention is focused on an HIV/AIDS community outreach program established in Rio de Janeiro, which represented the first such prevention/intervention program in all of Brazil targeting indigent cocaine users. This 6-year initiative was funded by the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse, and carried out by the authors of this book. The research combines anthropological, sociological, and biological perspectives; all data were gathered through empirical and ethnographic techniques.

Self Versus Others Media, Messages, and the Third-Person Effect

Self Versus Others Media, Messages, and the Third-Person Effect
Julie L. Andsager, H. Allen White, "Self Versus Others: Media, Messages, and the Third-Person Effect"
English | 2007 | pages: 165 | ISBN: 0805857168 | PDF | 1,9 mb
Self Versus Others explores the third-person effect and its role in media as a means of persuasion. This scholarly work synthesizes more than two decades of research on the third-person effect, the process in which individuals do not perceive themselves to be impacted by particular messages―such as persuaded to engage in risky behaviors or encouraged to be violent―but they believe others will be. Authors Julie L. Andsager and H. Allen White focus their analysis specifically on the role of media and media messages, and assert that the third-person effect functions as a means of persuasion. They explore the underlying concepts and connections this effect shares with established theories of persuasion and mediated communication.

Security A Philosophical Investigation

Security A Philosophical Investigation
Security: A Philosophical Investigation
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1009270109 | 295 Pages | PDF | 2 MB
How do we know when we are investing wisely in security? Answering this question requires investigating what things are worth securing (and why); what threatens them; how best to protect them; and how to think about it. Is it possible to protect them? How best go about protecting them? What trade-offs are involved in allocating resources to security problems? This book responds to these questions by stripping down our preconceptions and rebuilding an understanding of security from the ground up on the basis of a common-sense ontology and an explicit theory of value. It argues for a clear distinction between objective and subjective security threats, a non-anthropocentric understanding of security, and a particular hierarchy of security referents, looking closely at four in particular-the ecosphere, the state, culture, and individual human beings. The analysis will be of interest not only to students and scholars of International Relations, but also to practitioners.
