This reprint presents a global and multidisciplinary approach towards the cultivation of Muslim identities in various socio-political, cultural and geographical contexts. It draws on empirical case studies conducted on Muslim communities in Britain, France, Pakistan, Turkey and Australia. The covered topics include: the identity of Deobandi ulama in contemporary Britain; Muslim loyalty and identity formation in France; the cultural identity of Jafari Shi'is in Turkey; religious attire among male Tablighi adherents in Pakistan; and the question of intra-Muslim dialogue among Australian Muslims. This reprint provides profound insights into how Muslims navigate socio-political pressures and Islamophobia to break stereotypes and assert their religiosity in diverse political settings. The contributions underscore and challenge important questions regarding Muslim loyalty to non-Muslim states, the treatment of Muslim minority groups by governments, the status of intra-Muslim relations, and non-discursive expressions of identity through religious attire.
In times of rising polarization and disinformation at the global level, this reprint, "Geopolitics, Public Communication, and Social Cohesion Facing the Crisis of Democracy: Risks and Challenges", explores the communication of the main conflicts that put integrity and geopolitics at risk. Drawing upon different methods, the contributions offer insightful findings on the role of communication by public institutions in crisis management and the actions of journalists and citizens. Therefore, this reprint furthers our understanding of how to deal with problems such as audiences' distrust in politics, citizens' disaffection with the media, and institutions' loss of credibility.
Like his mother Herminie, who was the pupil of Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun and Louis David, Paul-Etienne Courier de Méré (hereafter 'PECM') was feeling since his childhood an immoderate attraction for painting, that incitating him to integrate the school of the family friend called Jean-Dominique Ingres who, soon, considered him as his preferred pupil. But, such painting studies ceased when the king Louis-Philippe I, the best friend of his father the great pamphleteer Paul-Louis Courier de Méré assassinated a decade ago, shall oblige his godson PECM to leave the Ingres's school for integrating with his son Henry the Duke of Aumale the Military School of Saint-Cyr and later on, his Etat-Major. In 1852, PECM shall integrate the Napoléon III's Etat-Major that obliging him to participate to the Crimea War in quality of aide-de-camp of the Prince Napoléon, the emperor's cousin. Hardly wounded he can renew in his Jura's property of Port-Lesney with his artistic demons up to 1865, date of his re-appeal to the Army. So, obliged to live again in Paris, he shall meet his childhood fellow the Orientalisme's co-inventor Maxime Du Camp who, since this time shall encourage him to forget classical principles for pre-impressionnist ones. Here, because benefiting of a large fortune, PECM has never sold any piece of a work fully conserved in his family up to the year 2015 when the arson of his 'la Clouterie' property reduced in ashes 36 paintings of his classical period (cf. Wikipedia article). Hopefully, as explained in the following biography, dozens ans dozens of PECM's works mainly dating of his pre-impressionnist period are always secured in their native studio located in the PECM's home called 'les Berruries' and that, under the guard of his great-grand son Henry Courier de Méré.Henry Courier de Méré ('HCM') is an internationnaly recognized inventor in right to pretend, for instance, to have cut by quite an half the energy worldwide dedicated to lighting and that, since the 90', when his basic invention of the 'high frequency series resonance electronic ballasts' has advantageously replaced Claude's ferromagnetic ballasts energizing fluorescent tube lamps (FTLs) since 1910 and authorized the manufacturing of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) having pushed out the market incandescent Coolidge's tungsten bulbs exploited since 1906.2 years ago, it's due to a medullary ischemia awaking his atavistic writing pulses, if HCM shall be incitated to leave his oscilloscope for the no

This reprint features contributions from the conference DHA41. Dyes in History and Archaeology (DHA) is an annual international conference that focuses on the academic discussion of dyes and organic pigments which have been used in the past. Every year since 1982, this meeting has drawn together conservators; curators; (technical) art historians; craftspeople; artists; independent scholars; and scientists and academics from museums, universities, research centers, and other public or private institutions. Their common interest is to delve deeply into the history, production, application, and properties of organic colorants, as well as their analytical characterization and identification, often in textile objects, but also in other substrates as well as painted surfaces. In the autumn of 2022, the 41st DHA conference was hosted by the Swedish National Heritage Board in Visby. The abstracts are published on the DiVA portal (Digitala Vetenskapliga Arkivet), and many of the presented posters are available for download from the conference program. We are very grateful to the authors of the following 16 articles for submitting their manuscripts and allowing us to put together a publication that presents the fascinating breadth of research into Dyes in History and Archaeology.
While the established qualitative meaning of the term 'popular culture' remains pertinent, as superhero comics and pop music, Hollywood films and TV thrillers, and pulp fiction and videogames are still quite naturally assigned to the realm of popular culture and thus excluded from high culture, this Special Issue explores recent shifts from the qualitative to the quantitative dimensions of the popular in order to re-evaluate the significance of the high/low culture difference. The chapters in this reprint reassess the gap between high and low culture in an effort to rethink conventional notions of pop and the popular and acknowledge quantified popularity's increasing significance as a scalable force in contemporary society.
Everything you need to know to make a movie, in a single book. From someone who's been in the trenches, done it all, and teaches it.
This reprint brings together the work of practitioners, communities, artists and other researchers from multiple disciplines. Seeking to provoke a discourse around displacement within and beyond the field of humanities, it positions historical cases and debates, some reaching into the ancient past, within diverse geo-chronological contexts and current world urgencies. In adopting an innovative dialogic structure, between practitioners on the ground-from architects and urban planners to artists-and academics working across subject areas, the volume is a proposition to remap priorities for current research agendas; open up disciplines, critically analyse their approaches; address the socio-political responsibilities that we have as scholars and practitioners; and provide an alternative site of discourse for contemporary concerns about displacement. Ultimately, this volume aimed to provoke future work and collaborations-hence, manifestos-not only in the historical and literary fields, but wider research concerned with human mobility and the challenges confronting people who are out of place in terms of rights, protection and belonging.

The current Special Issue of Publications is dedicated to PUBMET2022, The 9th Conference on Scholarly Communication in the Context of Open Science. The PUBMET conference aimed to provide a forum for the community involved in scholarly communication and the dissemination of knowledge, inviting researchers, information and communication specialists, librarians, editors, publishers, teachers, students, research funders, policy makers, repository managers, and other stakeholders involved in scholarly communication to discuss the current changes, developments, and advancements in scholarly communication from the perspective of open science. The PUBMET conference is open to individuals who are interested in learning more about and sharing their research results and experiences on the practices in open science.The current Special Issue contains submissions of research that reflect both practical and technical innovations, which serve the implementation of open science. The following topics are addressed in the present publication: Assessing the quality of research processes, research outputs, and publication channels; Re-designing open access-rights-retention strategies and alternatives to paid OA; FAIRness of open science; The potential of public engagement with science and environmental activism; Raising efficiency and effectiveness in scholarly communication.
This reprint focuses on exploring the relationship between urban form, mobility, and social well-being across neighborhoods, cities, and regions. Understanding more about these relationships is helpful in shaping integrated sustainable urban planning and transport development strategies. All reprint chapters primarily contribute to the existing literature on the interdisciplinary field of the impact of urban planning and transport on social well-being and facilitate novel ways of measuring the abstract concept of well-being, particularly in Asian and European countries. We suggested that further research could explore these themes in greater depth by means of both theoretical frameworks and methodological developments in this integrated field.
The materialisation of religiosity has been expressed since prehistoric times through material culture. This material culture serves as a tangible embodiment of faith, communicating the diversity of human spiritual experiences. It encompasses a wide range of objects, structures, symbols, and practices that not only shape religious identities, but also reflect the evolving nature of human society. This interaction between religious beliefs and their material expressions enables an understanding of the role of religion in shaping human culture and identity.Through 13 different approaches, this reprint aims to present a cross-cultural analysis of religiosity. Its main objective is to recognise the importance of this materialisation in the knowledge of different religions, as well as to maintain, preserve, and safeguard this diverse and rich heritage for future generations.
The Special Issue 'Churches in Europe and the Challenge of Cultural Witness' seeks to explore and articulate new ways for the Church and the Theological Academy to work together to make the culture-shaping resources of Christian faith more widely known and available within secular European contexts. The Church across Europe has in recent times struggled to make its voice heard in public life, especially when it comes to communicating core Christian ideas and perspectives. We discern a need to move beyond simplistic apologetic strategies of rationalist arguments for faith, purely reactive pronouncements on social or political issues, or framing Christian doctrines purely within the acceptable language of secular discourse to find a new framework and practice for the communication of Christian faith. This Special Issue brings together different voices from both the Academy and the Church and from various denominations to explore new paradigms for the task of bearing witness to Christian faith within the particularities of contemporary cultures. This Special Issue is linked to the launch of the new Centre for Cultural Witness in the UK, based at Lambeth Palace on invitation from the Archbishop of Canterbury, with key partners at the Center Faith & Society/Zentrum für Glaube & Gesellschaft at Fribourg University in Switzerland.
This volume addressess three theoretical questions that the contributions integrate into a unified subject of investigation. The first question pertains to narratology. Do religious narratives follow models of emplotment that are identical to the ones found in novels or historical accounts, do they rather tend to privilege some modes of emplotment over others, or do they craft specific plots that defy current categorizations? The second question pertains to structural rhetoric. Do these narratives preferentially follow rhetorical patterns such as the one of ring composition? How do modes of emplotment and rhetorical patterns interact in the crafting of narratives loaded with religious content? Do specific traditions privilege some patterns over others, or are rhetorical patterns evenly distributed among the various religious traditions? The third question pertains to the nature and channels of religious narratives: can rituals, architectural designs, or exhibits obey the same compositional models as the ones followed in the production of written or oral religious narratives? This reprint thus endeavors to elucidate the rules governing the composition of religious narratives in their dynamics, organization, and ornamentation, while applying a consistent set of rules to texts, oral accounts, and artefacts.
The agricultural, agroforestry, and aquacultural sectors are facing challenges due to climate change, making it difficult for them to achieve economic sustainability and improve farmers' livelihoods. The increasing occurrence of extreme events has led to extensive research into epidemiology, management, and impact on livelihoods, particularly for households dependent on agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture. However, there remains a need for comprehensive research into the effects of climate change on vulnerable (mountain) regions and their communities. Consequently, there is modest knowledge about the adaptation responses and strategies of different farmers, with the existing literature consisting of isolated cases that provide limited insights into common effects across different regions and over time. Similarly, the effects of COVID-19 and the Russo-Ukrainian military conflicts on smallholder farming are poorly understood. Although there are national and international policies and interventions promoting the transition of agri-food production systems towards circular bioeconomy, the specific direction of these strategies remains unclear. This reprint aims to bridge the existing gaps by offering insights into the impact of external shocks such as climate change, COVID-19, and the Ukraine-Russian military conflicts on farmers across different regions and time periods. It also presents evidence of the strategies adopted by farmers to address these challenges.
This Special Issue aims to showcase current work at the interface of pragmatics (the linguistic discipline that studies meaning in context) and argumentation theory (the study of the way people argue). These two disciplines have much in common, from overlapping research objects to shared theoretical frameworks, and have accordingly been in constant dialogue for approximately half a century. The objective of this Special Issue is to explore this interface by taking stock of existing work and discussing new contact points between the disciplines.The 17 papers comprising this Special Issue consider different lines of inquiry, from methodological questions (how can one discipline be of use in the investigation of research questions belonging to the other discipline?) to theoretical (how and to what extent do pragmatic phenomena related to meaning play out in argumentative exchanges? How is argumentation expressed?) and practical questions (under which conditions can we consider argumentation to be successful? What are the key argumentative skills displayed by competent arguers?). Overall, the selection of papers comprising this Special Issue represent key reading for anyone interested in the relationship between what people mean and how people argue.
Design Like a Girl: 30 groundbreaking women architects and designers throughout history. Including foundations in design. Design Like a Girl celebrates 30 groundbreaking women in the history of architecture and design. This book is intended for readers to ages 8-14, aiming to reach them as they dream of who they want to be and what they want to become. It is time to tell the story of these 30 women, some known, some forgotten, some overlooked, who can serve as excellent role models and inspiration for the next generation of architects and designers. This book shares the hardships and prejudices they faced, as well as their successes, vulnerability and prosperity. These 30 women represent just a small selection of women in this field who have been role models. The women featured in Design Like a Girl were chosen to embody true diversity of culture, heritage, lifestyle and resolution. Young readers deserve to see female role models who are just like them: someone who was an only child, raised by single parent, part of the LBGTQ community, biracial, or gifted with a range of abilities. Beyond providing inspiration for young readers, Design Like a Girl shares a wealth of introductory knowledge about design. Short, infographic-style chapters, on topics from the elements and principles of design to universal design and phases of design, mingle with the mini-biographies of the 30 featured women. This book blends history with learning, leaving readers with new inspiration and an initial grounding in design sensibility.

The story of public education in the early 21st century through the eyes of a well-respected educator and his fight against an over-zealous administration's efforts to strip its teachers of all their individuality. Both exposé and memoir, this is the tale of one man's search for the perfect career and what turned that perfect career into a struggle to maintain a teacher's ability to create his or her own curriculum, based on years of experience, instead of a one size fits all model that was being shoved down our throats by administrators who were bowing to pressure from parents as well as their own ill-conceived feelings of superiority. Do you want to know why the number of teachers are leaving the profession in greater numbers than ever before? This is the story of what started it all.
In 33 sehr leichten bis mittelleichten Sätzen führt dieser Band Duette durch ein eher älteres Repertoire Deutscher Volkslieder. Neben bekannten Titeln (Suse, liebe Suse; Heißa Kathreinerle) erscheinen auch Lieder aus Mittelalter und Renaissance (Ach Elslein, liebes Elselein) und teils in lateinischer Sprache (Gaudeamus igitur). Einige, die im Laufe der Jahrhunderte einen anderen Text erhielten, werden im Original zitiert (Es ritten drei Reiter zum Tore hinaus). Die Lieder sind bunt gemischt in Ausdruck, Tonart und Schwierigkeitgrad. An der Saale hellem StrandeIch hört ein Sichlein rauschenSuse, liebe Suse, was raschelt im Stroh?Magnus Caesar OttoEs waren zwei KönigskinderHört, Ihr Herrn, und laßt euch sagenDie Blümelein, sie schlafenEntlaubet ist der WaldeHeißa, KathreinerleMit Lieb bin ich umfangenEs kommt ein Schiff geladenBald gras ich am NeckarAch Elslein, liebes Elslein meinFlevit lepus parvulusIch armes Käuzlein kleineDie Brünnlein die da fließenAls die Römer frech gewordenMein Gemüt ist mir verwirretEs ritten drei Reiter zum Tore hinausWie die Blümlein draußen zitternEs steht ein Lind in jenem Tal,Wem Gott will rechte Gunst erweisenAde zur guten Nacht!Zu Augsburg steht ein hohes HausEs sungen drei Engel ein süßen GesangWie schön blüht uns der MaienMacht hoch die Tür die Tor macht weitDie Gedanken sind freiEs liegt ein Schloß in ÖsterreichIn stiller NachtFreut euch des LebensGaudeamus igiturSchlafe, mein Prinzchen
We live in an unprecedently globalized multicultural world in the 21st century. Christian churches and worship leaders are challenged to be conscious of the significant impact of multiculturalism within and beyond the church and provide worshipers with theologically faithful and culturally appropriate worship services. As a response to these challenges, this Special Issue deals with various multicultural issues emerging from contemporary liturgical contexts: What is multicultural worship? Why should Christian worship be multicultural? How can multicultural worship be designed to be relevant to a particular liturgical context? How can liturgical elements (e.g., worship space, symbols, language, sermons, prayers, music, and sacraments) be prepared from the multicultural perspective? This Special Issue provides worship leaders with theological and liturgical insights into exploring these questions and developing their theology and method of multicultural worship. In addition, sample liturgies and case studies with annotations offer concrete examples of multicultural worship. The scope of this Special Issue includes five areas: (1) multicultural worship in multiracial or multiethnic contexts; (2) multicultural worship in monoracial or monoethnic contexts; (3) multicultural worship in multigenerational contexts; (4) multicultural worship in ecumenical contexts; and (5) multicultural worship in multireligious contexts. While there are some resources available for studying multicultural worship, this volume uniquely contributes with diverse cultural approaches to various liturgical contexts.
