African Awakening: The Emerging Revolutions By Sokari Ekine (editor), Firoze Manji (editor)
2011 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 0857490214 | PDF | 4 MB
An insightful and comprehensive compilation of the year's events, this record offers in-the-moment comment and analysis as well as informed reflection on the 2011 African uprisings. While the tumultuous uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya have seized the attention of media analysts, the concurrent rebellions in Benin, Gabon, Senegal, Swaziland, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda, and in other parts of the African continent have gone virtually unnoticed. Arguing that these disturbances are the result of decades of declining living standards, mass unemployment, land dispossessions, and impoverishment of the majority, this account provides an overview of the struggle for democratization, which constitutes a reawakening of the spirit of freedom and justice for all.

Yu Zhang, "Affective-Discursive Practice in Online Medical Consultations in China: Emotional and Empathic Acts, Identity Positions,"
English | ISBN: 9811926425 | 2022 | 166 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book provides readers with the latest research on the affective aspect of online interactions between doctors and e-patients in the context of China from a poststructuralist discourse analysis perspective. At the heart of this book is the presentation of four chapters which address (1) indirect negative emotional acts by e-patients and empathic acts by doctors (constituting "affective practice"), (2) the interactional discursive features involved in the affective practice, (3) discursive positions of e-patients and doctors within the affective practice context, and (4) power relations that are reflected in the positionings. This book sheds light on the importance of examining the affective facet of medical consultation, when it comes to identifying non-traditional positions and power relations in doctor-patient communication. It also provides the implication that e-healthcare platforms, especially those with an e-commercialized model for healthcare services, have potential to produce a type of neo-liberal discourse―the e-commercialized medical consultation discourse―in which patients and caregivers, who are acknowledged as the less powerful group in the traditional healthcare activities, are empowered and privileged.

Bernard, "Advances in REBT"
English | 2019 | pages: 400 | ISBN: 3319931172 | EPUB | 2,6 mb
This authoritative volume commemorates six decades of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy by assembling its current state of theory, practice, and research. Bedrock chapters on defining features, assessment and measurement, and empirical findings place REBT squarely in the cognitive-behavioral landscape, reinforcing its status as a significant therapeutic approach. The book's palette of applications shows the flexibility and effectiveness of REBT in school, workplace, and other settings, with worried parents and "stuck" athletes, and as a foundation for brief interventions. And the survey of guiding principles and the evolution of the method by REBT founder Albert Ellis is a testament to its enduring clinical value.

Erdogan Madenci, "Advances in Peridynamics"
English | ISBN: 3030978575 | 2022 | 438 pages | EPUB | 92 MB
This book presents recent improvements in peridynamic modeling of structures. It provides sufficient theory and numerical implementation helpful to both new and existing researchers in the field. The main focus of the book is on the non-ordinary state-based (NOSB) peridynamics (PD) and its applications for performing finite deformation. It presents the framework for modeling high stretch polymers, viscoelastic materials, thermoelasticity, plasticity, and creep. It provides a systematic derivation for dimensionally reduced structures such as axisymmetric structures and beams. Also, it presents a novel approach to impose boundary conditions without suffering from displacement kinks near the boundary. Furthermore, it presents refinements to bond-based PD model by including rotation kinematics for modeling isotropic and composite materials. Moreover, it presents a PD - FEM coupling framework in ANSYS based on principle for virtual work. Lastly, it presents an application of neural networks in the peridynamic (PINN) framework. Sample codes are provided for readers to develop hands-on experience on peridynamic modeling.

Adult Dental Care:Why Does It Matter, and What Should You Do About It?: What to Do and Why It Matters. by Harold Bering
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BBZFP1PB | 62 pages | EPUB | 1.62 Mb
The book is a comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care that includes simple, at-home dental treatments that anyone may perform. The book, which takes a "whole body approach" to dental care, addresses the shortcomings of the traditional method, which only treats the symptoms of systemic imbalances rather than the cause. In this book, the author lays out an eight-step self-dentistry regimen for adults that focuses on preventing decay, illness, acidic strep throat, and gum disease.
