Maiko Nishi, "Biodiversity-Health-Sustainability Nexus in Socio-Ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes (SEPLS) "
English | ISBN: 9811698929 | 2022 | 310 pages | PDF | 11 MB
This is an open access book. It is a compilation of case studies that provide useful knowledge and lessons that derive from on-the-ground activities and contribute to policy recommendations, focusing on the interlinkages between biodiversity and multiple dimensions of health (e.g., physical, mental, and spiritual) in managing socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS). This book provides insights on how SEPLS approaches can contribute to more sustainable management of natural resources, achieving global biodiversity and sustainable development goals, and good health for all. It is also expected to offer useful knowledge and information for an upcoming three-year thematic assessment of "the interlinkages among biodiversity, water, food, and health" (the so-called "nexus assessment") by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). The book begins with an introductory chapter followed by eleven case study chapters demonstrating the nexus between biodiversity, health, and sustainable development, and then a synthesis chapter clarifying the relevance of the case study findings to policy and academic discussions. It will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, and professionals in the field related to sustainable development.

Bifurcations in Flow Patterns: Some Applications of the Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations in Fluid Dynamics by P. G. Bakker
English | PDF | 1991 | 221 Pages | ISBN : 940105553X | 12.8 MB
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.

Sylvie Avakian, "Being Towards Death: Heidegger and the Orthodox Theology of the East "
English | ISBN: 3110705338 | 2021 | 350 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Das Werk stellt den philosophischen Beitrag Martin Heideggers im Zusammenhang mit dem theologischen Beitrag des Ostens, besonders dem Nikolai Berdyaevs, dar. Damit bringt es die westliche Welt mit der östlichen, die Philosophie mit der Theologie ins Gespräch und ist ein Versuch der christlichen Theologie eine existentielle Sprache zu bieten, die für die Gegenwart von Bedeutung ist. Des Weiteren ist das "Sein zum Tode" mit dem Sein zu den Anderen bzw. zu Gott vergleichbar, durch welche das Sein-zum-wahren-freien-Selbst zu erreichen ist. In diesem Sinne zielt das Werk darauf ab, das "Sein zum Tode" durch die Sprache zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Damit ist das Werk auch ein Übergang von allgemein akzeptierten Formulierungen und überkommenen Weisen Theologie zu treiben hin zur philosophischen Reflexion über den Glauben. An vielen Stellen ruft es aber auch jene tiefgründigen Beiträge des menschlichen Denkens aus der Vergangenheit ab, die hauptsächlich von den anthropologischen Aspekten der Theologie ausgehen. Denn auch wenn die göttliche Gabe jeglicher menschlichen Erwiderung vorausgeht sind alle Ausdrücke dieser Gabe und der Erwiderungen darauf menschliche Ausdrücke, die aus Menschen entstehen und für Menschen formuliert sind.

Banach Lattices by Peter Meyer-Nieberg
English | PDF | 1991 | 407 Pages | ISBN : 3540542019 | 50.3 MB
This book is concerned primarily with the theory of Banach lattices and with linear operators defined on, or with values in, Banach lattices. More general classes of Riesz spaces are considered so long as this does not lead to more complicated constructions or proofs. The intentions for writing this book were twofold. First, there appeared in the literature many results completing the theory extensively.

Felicity Sedgewick, "Autism and Masking"
English | ISBN: 1787755797 | 2021 | 272 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Autistic people often feel they have to present as neurotypical or perform neurotypical social behaviours in order to fit in. So-called 'masking' is a social survival strategy used by autistic people in situations where neurodiversity is not understood or welcomed. While this is a commonly observed phenomenon in the autistic community, the complexities of masking are still not widely understood.
