Women and the Autobiographical Impulse
Authors: Caine Barbara 
Published: September 2023

Forming a critical introduction to the history of women’s autobiography from the mid 18th-century to the present, this book analyses the most important changes in women’s autobiography, exploring their motivation, context, style, and the role of life experiences.
Caine effortlessly segues across three centuries of history: from the emergence of the ‘modern autobiography’ in the 18th-century which laid bare the scandalous lives of ‘fallen women’, to the literary and suffragist autobiographies of the 19th-century to the establishment of feminist publishers in the 20th century and the taboo-shattering autobiographies they produced. The result is a much-needed history, one which provides a different way of thinking about the trajectory of genre information.
Caine’s compelling study fills an important gap in the genre of autobiography, by embracing a wide range of women and offering an extensive discussion of the autobiographies of women across the 19th and 20th centuries, making it ideal for classroom use.
Christians in the City of Hong Kong
Authors: Brandner Tobias 
Published: September 2023

Christians in the City of Hong Kong tells the story of a multi-faceted, constantly evolving Christianity in a vibrant metropolis that has always been China’s gateway to the wider world. Having served in Hong Kong for over 25 years in contexts from prison ministry to theological education, Tobias Brandner offers an interplay of local and global perspectives assessing the growth, variation, and present course of Hong Kong’s diverse Christian communities. These range from spiritually progressive Christians to conservative evangelicals and Pentecostals; Christians at the grassroots and at the higher echelons of wealth and power; social and educational ministries of Christians and their impact on society; and, finally, the important role of Hong Kong Christians in their outreach to mainland China.
Tracing how Christianity has extended into all parts of society, including arts, politics, and academia, Brandner presents key theological insights into the dynamics of a community at the cultural intersection of China and the West.
Arbitration in China
Authors: Fan Kun 
Published: September 2023

In the context of harmonisation of arbitration law and practice worldwide, to what extent do local legal traditions still influence local arbitration practices, especially at a time when non-Western countries are playing an increasingly important role in international commercial and financial markets? How are the new economic powers reacting to the trend towards harmonisation? China provides a good case study, with its historic tradition of non-confrontational means of dispute resolution now confronting current trends in transnational arbitration. Is China showing signs of adapting to the current trend of transnational arbitration? On the other hand, will Chinese legal culture influence the practice of arbitration in the rest of the world?
To address these challenging questions it is necessary to examine the development of arbitration in the context of China's changing cultural and legal structures. Written for international business people, lawyers, academics and students, this book gives the reader a unique insight into arbitration practice in China, based on a combination of theoretical analysis and practical insights. It explains contemporary arbitration in China from an interdisciplinary perspective and with a comparative approach, setting Chinese arbitration in its wider social context to aid understanding of its history, contemporary practice, the legal obstacles to modern arbitration and possible future trends.
In 2011 the thesis on which this book was based was named ‘Best Thesis in International Studies’ by the Swiss Network for International Studies.
“What distinguishes this work from other books on international arbitration is its interdisciplinary perspective and comparative approach…this book makes a remarkable contribution to the understanding of arbitration in China and transnational arbitration in general. Academics, scholars and students of international arbitration, comparative studies and globalisation may all find this book stimulating. It also provides useful guidance for practitioners involved or interested in arbitration in China.”

Encyclopedia of Adaptations in the Natural World
Authors: Simmons Adam 
Published: September 2023

This is a fascinating encyclopedia comparing the most important adaptations and evolutions in the natural world with the most important discoveries and inventions of human history.
Welcome to the amazing world of adaptations, where species—including humans—develop fascinating new capabilities to ensure a competitive edge in their environment, or in some cases, survival itself. Encyclopedia of Adaptations in the Natural World is a wide-ranging catalog of the most important of those adaptations—from photosynthesis to the the peculiar “vampire”-like behavior of the tiny life form called the prion.
The seven chapters in the Encyclopedia cover the key survival challenges all organisms face. Entries within those chapters cover specific adaptations from all forms of life, including animals, plants, bacteria, algae, fungi, and viruses. For each adaptation, the book also describes a related technological breakthrough in the human world, showing how engineers today study natural processes to help them develop new inventions.
ADHD on Trial
Authors: Gordon Michael 
Published: September 2023

In 2006 Philadelphia, graduate student Jonathan Love sued the organization that publishes the Law School Admissions Test. Love had attained average scores on the test, but claimed he should have been given extra time because he qualified as a person with a disability - and allowances provided by the Americans with Disabilities Act - due to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The case, which drew in author psychologist Michael Gordon as an expert witness for the defense, reached federal court and resulted in a precedent-setting ruling still as controversial as the disorder that triggered the trial. In this work, Gordon takes us into the courtroom and behind the scenes with attorneys and experts to look not only at this trial, but more than a dozen others that have involved ADHD or other psychiatric diagnoses, and the questions they raise, including what the real meaning of disability is, how malingering can be an issue with psychological disorders, and what the more far-reaching effects for the public can be if accommodations are provided to people who do not have a legally-defined disability. When does deference to an individual with a disorder like ADHD begin to invade the rights of the non-disabled?
Controversy fills these pages, from discussion of ADHD and the debate over its justifiability as a disability to public reactions regarding the ruling in Love's case and others. Comparisons and contrasts are also raised between the Love trial and earlier cases involving people claiming psychological disabilities who fought actions by The National Board of Medical Examiners, United Airlines, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, the Georgia State Board of Veterinary Medicine, and other organizations. Do the decisions help or harm disability rights and people with disabilities? Gordon offers the insights not only of a psychologist, but a seasoned legal insider who has testified as an expert witness at many of the trials.

Fair or Foul
Authors: Kudlac Christopher S. 
Published: September 2023

This intriguing book offers a comprehensive examination of all issues related to sports and criminal behavior, from high school to professional athlete, player to spectator. Fair or Foul: Sports and Criminal Behavior in the United States is an examination of the intersection of these two increasingly connected worlds. The book was written to answer two questions. First, is there a relationship between athletic participation and criminal behavior? Second, what other connections—positive or negative—exist between sports and crime?
To arrive at his answers, author Christopher S. Kudlac surveys professional, college, and high school sports in relation to crime, spectator crime, and gambling. Other topics include how urban sports programs help deter kids from getting involved in crime and how the use of sports in prisons has worked to positive effect. The book also examines the issues of aggression, masculinity, commercial incentives (or disincentives), and other contributing factors that may spur illegal activity among athletes and spectators. Looking at the subject from the perspectives of criminal justice and forensic psychology, Kudlac is able to uncover just how intertwined the two worlds are—for better or for worse.

GELENEKSEL TÜRK SANAT MÜZİĞİNDE TAKSİM İCRASINI GELİŞTİRMEYE YÖNELİK ÖNERİLER, RAST ve UŞŞAK MAKAMI ÖRNEĞİ
ÖZ
Geleneksel Türk müziğinin en önemli türlerinden biri olan taksim, gerek kurgusu gerekse icra özellikleri ile diğer türlerden farklıdır. Taksim türünün giriş/baş, ara, son, geçiş, fihrist, soru-cevaplı (karabatak) ve meyan taksimi şeklinde farklı çeşitleri vardır. Taksimi bir doğaçlamadan ayıran en önemli özellik ise makam olgusudur. Makam olgusu, taksimin icra edilme amacını da beraberinde getirir ve taksimden sonra icra edilecek eserlere hazırlık niteliği taşır. Taksim icrasını geliştirmeye yönelik çalışmaların, geçmişten günümüze meşk kültürü içinde dinleme, gözlem ve tekrara dayalı ampirik çalışma yöntemi ile yapıldığı bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada; Taksim kurgusu yapılırken kompozisyon algısını geliştirme, giriş-gelişme ve sonuç bölümleri için melodik-teknik müzik pasajları çalışmaları yanında, “şablon yöntemi” diyebileceğimiz bazı kalıp motiflerin yazılıp, onlar üzerinden çalışmaların farklı makamlara uyarlanması önerilmektedir. Çalışmanın örneklemini Rast ve Uşşak makamı taksim notasyonu oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada, Rast ve Uşşak makamı baş/giriş taksimi örneği ile taksim icra becerisinin oluşmasına yönelik teknik ve melodik pasajlar, şablon amaçlı yazılarak bunların önce seyir şeklinde bağımsız icra edilmesi, akabinde rakamlandırılan cümleler şeklinde sıralı icra edilerek taksim halini alması önerisi yer almaktadır. Ayrıca Rast ve Uşşak makamı örneğinde geliştirilen yöntemin diğer makamlara da uygulanmasının, çalgı eğitim sürecine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. İrticalen yapılan taksim icrasının, yazılı materyallerle eğitim sürecine dahil edilmesi, ilk etapta türün yapısına ters bir yaklaşım gibi görünebilir ancak teknik ve melodik kalıp pasajların yazılması, eğitim süresince kılavuz niteliği taşıyacaktır. Taksim icrası geliştirmeye yönelik genel geçer öneriler ve son yıllarda müzik tarihine geçmiş usta icracıların taksim analizleri dışında, alanda yazılı kaynakların yetersiz oluşu çalışmanın özgün değeri açısından dikkate değerdir.
Cenobamate (Xcopri)
Authors: CADTH  
Published: September 2023

CADTH recommends that Xcopri should be reimbursed by public drug plans as adjunctive therapy in the management of partial onset seizures in adults with epilepsy whose seizures are not satisfactorily controlled with conventional therapy, if certain conditions are met.
Xcopri should only be reimbursed for the management of partial onset seizures in adults with epilepsy whose seizures are not satisfactorily controlled with conventional therapy, according to the criteria used by the public drug plans for other third generation antiseizure medication (ASMs) that are currently reimbursed for the management of partial onset seizures in adults with epilepsy whose seizures are not satisfactorily controlled with conventional therapy.
Xcopri should only be reimbursed if the daily cost of Xcopri is the same as or lower than the daily cost of other third generation adjunctive therapies (lacosamide, brivaracetam, eslicarbazepine, and perampanel), and if the potential budget impact of funding Xcopri is addressed.
Feasibility analysis of optimal terahertz (THz) bands for passive limb sounding of middle and upper atmospheric wind
Authors: Wang Wenyu , Xu Jian , Wang Zhenzhan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract. As of now, direct measurements of middle and upper atmospheric wind are still scarce, and the observation method is limited, especially for the
upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere. This paper presents a study of band selection to derive line-of-sight wind from 30 km to more than
120 km using a high-spectral-resolution terahertz (THz) radiometer, which can fill the measurement gap between lidar and
interferometer data. Simulations from 0.1–5 THz for evaluating the feasibility of the spaceborne THz limb sounder are described in this
study. The results show that high-precision wind (better than 5 m s−1) can be obtained from 40 to 70 km by covering a cluster of
strong O3 lines. By choosing strong O2 or H2O lines, the high-quality measurement can be extended to
105 km. The O atom (OI) lines can provide wind signals in the higher atmosphere. In addition, performance of different
instrument parameters, including spectral resolution, bandwidth, and measurement noise, was analyzed, and, lastly, four different band combinations are suggested.
Ageing and the Transportal Home
Authors: Garvey Pauline , Wang Xinyuan 
Published: September 2023

Taking a comparative approach to two field sites – Shanghai in China and Dublin in Ireland – this paper explores the relationship between ageing, home, and the impact of the smartphone on domestic space. Although Shanghai and Dublin are extremely diverse contexts, both have seen rapid social shifts in recent decades, and domestic life seems to reflect these changes. Here, we outline how older people reconfigure their lives through the manipulation of their homes, variously upsizing, downsizing, and rightsizing – but also through sifting through their possessions, decluttering, and adopting or adapting to new domestic spaces in different ways. However, whereas these material practices may be found in cities worldwide, we examine the smartphone in domestic environments and consider how the digital expands, create, blurs, or traverses conventional views of the home in each field site. A central concept here is the ‘transportal home’ (Miller et al. 2021). Weaving perspectives from material and digital approaches in anthropology, we explore and expand the notion of the transportal home, as outlined in the comparative book, The Global Smartphone (Miller et al., 2021) and reiterated in brief here. We adopt this concept but take it further by asking how the transportal home differs in both fieldwork sites. This leads us to question the role of the transportal home in Shanghai and Dublin in terms of mediating, blurring, or traversing domestic boundaries, or expanding or shrinking social and architectural environments. Through these practices, conventional notions of home itself are challenged.
