Citizen Fetus: The Changing Image of Motherhood
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031171608 | 472 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 30 MB
This book discusses many aspects of fetuses and motherhood from fields as wide as sociology and medicine. It examines changing perceptions of the fetus over recent decades, comparing western ideas with those of non-western countries; examining maternal mental health during COVID-19 and charting the ascent of the 'fetus' to a cult phenomenon, which has currently reappeared in the courts. This work, given its multifaceted approach, will be of interest to a varied and wide range of people, from parents to doctors and nurses, to anthropologists and ethnologists, to scientists, to students of various disciplines, to psychologists and psychoanalysts, to lawyers dealing with the topic and to a general public simply interested in these fundamental themes.

Cities of the Future: Challenges and Opportunities
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031154592 | 384 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 69 MB
​This book seeks to address the key challenges and opportunities of "future cities" embracing novel approaches and grounded technologies in pursuing a vision for smart, inclusive cities. The objective of this book is to discuss multiple areas at the local, national, and international levels and how these challenges can hinder the development objectives planned to be achieved by the cities of the future. The chapters featured in this collection were presented at the 6th Memaryat International Conference (MIC 2022), held at the Effat University, Jeddah. MIC's objective is to build bridges between science, technology, and innovation, seen as the key levers of attaining the SDGs.

Chasing Bandits in the Badlands: Australian Soldiers adjusting attitudes in Somalia 1993 by Bob Breen
English | January 18th, 2023 | ISBN: 1922896209 | 264 pages | True EPUB | 7.08 MB
In January 1993, the Australian government sent just under one thousand young men and women to serve under American command in a violent, impoverished, starving society. Most males over the age of twelve either carried or had access to a gun, and most Somali men had been fighting a vicious civil war for years.

Characterisation of the Mechanical Properties of Heat-Induced Protein Deposits in Immersed Cleaning Systems
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031218485 | 168 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 11 MB
During heat treatment in dairy production, the rapid formation of heat-induced fouling deposits on the plant surface leads to reduced efficiency of heat transfer. Therefore, a regular cleaning process is required to soften the heat-induced protein deposits and then remove them from the plant surface. The mechanical property of the deposits is one of the key issues of the cleaning mechanisms since the non-fractured behaviour dominates the deformation of the fouling layer and the failure behaviour has a great impact on the cohesive removal of fouling deposits. Considering the complicated geometry of fouling deposits and their irregular distribution, indentation experiments were carried out on various kinds of protein deposits. The experimental results reveal the significant influence of the thickness of fouling deposits on their mechanical behaviour and the time-dependent nonlinear behaviour of the deposits.

Cases of Male Witchcraft in Old and New England, 1592-1692 (Late Medieval and Early Modern Studies) By Elizabeth Kent
2013 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 2503524745 | PDF | 2 MB
This exciting new study examines cases of male witchcraft from the English Atlantic world in order to explore the kinds of masculine behaviour exhibited by men accused of witchcraft, the way this behaviour shaped accusations of witchcraft against them, and the responses such men evoked in the communities who accused them. This study explores cases in which men were accused of witchcraft in England and the British colonies of New England between 1592 and 1692. Using a series of case studies that begin in Elizabethan Norfolk and end with the Salem trials in Massachusetts, this book examines six individual male witches and argues they are best understood as masculine witches, not feminized men. Each case considers the social circumstances of the male witch as a gendered context for the accusations of witchcraft against him. Instead of seeking to identify a single causal condition or overarching gendered circumstance whereby men were accused of witchcraft, this study examines the way that masculinity shaped the accusations of witchcraft made against each man. In each case, a range of masculine social and cultural roles became implicated in accusations of witchcraft, making it possible to explore how beliefs in witches interacted with early modern English gender cultures to support the religious, legal, and cultural logic of the male witch. The result is an approach to early modern English witchcraft prosecution that includes, rather than problematizes, the male witch.

Susan Marie Smith, "Caring Liturgies: The Pastoral Power of Christian Ritual"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0800697367 | PDF | pages: 162 | 2.0 mb
Caregiving practices in churches often center around listening and giving counsel, making referrals, and creating support groups for specific needs. In Caring Liturgies, Susan Marie Smith proposes that Christian ritual is both a method and a means for helping people through liminal times of transition and uncertainty, even vulnerability and fear. It teaches readers to recognize the ritual needs of fellow Christians and thus create post-baptismal rites of passage and healing that might strengthen and support them in the fulfillment of their ministries.
