Domination Migration and Non-Citizens

Domination Migration and Non-Citizens

Does the concept of domination cast new light on issues that arise in the context of migration and citizenship? If citizenship is a status that provides protection from domination understood as subjection to arbitrary interference are non-citizens - whether outside or inside the state - necessarily subject to domination by virtue of being non-citizens? Does domination provide a useful basis for considering the harms that migrants suffer? If non-domination is a value to be promoted in politics what are the implications for the treatment of migrants and resident non-citizens? This book addresses issues of migration and citizenship within the frame of freedom in terms of domination understood as being subject to the threat of arbitrary interference. Coming from a variety of perspectives the chapters examine the issues of migration controls differential resident statuses including temporary workers refugees and long-term residents and the conditions for access to citizenship in the light of these concerns. This book was published as a special issue of the Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy. | Domination Migration and Non-Citizens

Non-binary and Genderqueer Genders

Non-binary and Genderqueer Genders

Some people have a gender which is neither male nor female and may identify as both male and female at one time as different genders at different times as no gender at all or dispute the very idea of only two genders. The most often heard umbrella terms for such genders are ‘non-binary’ or ‘genderqueer’ genders. This book looks to bring together those currently exploring and researching this non-binary phenomenon. Gender identities outside of the binary of female and male are increasingly being recognized in social legal medical and psychological discourses together with the emerging presence and advocacy of people who identify as non-binary or genderqueer. Population-based studies show a small percentage – but a sizable proportion in terms of numbers – of people who identify as non-binary. While such genders have always been in existence worldwide they remain marginalized and as such at risk of victimization and of minority stress as a result of social non-acceptance and discrimination. Non-binary and Genderqueer Genders explores these gender identities in relation to health well-being and/or other experiences in an effort to contribute to improving clinical standards and continued cultural change towards acceptance for this group of people. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Transgenderism (renamed International Journal of Transgender Health in 2020).

Non-Photorealistic Rendering

Non-Photorealistic Rendering

The ubiquity of computer-generated imagery around us in movies advertising or on the Internet is already being taken for granted and what impresses most people is the photorealistic quality of the images. Pictures as we have often been told are worth a thousand words and the information transported by an image can take many different forms. Many computer graphics researchers are exploring non-photorealistic rendering techniques as an alternative to realistic rendering. Defined by what it is not non-photorealistic rendering brings art and science together concentrating less on the process and more on the communication content of an image. Techniques that have long been used by artists can be applied to computer graphics to emphasize subtle attributes and to omit extraneous information. This book provides an overview of the published research on non-photorealistic rendering in order to categorize and distill the current research into a body of usable techniques. A summary of some of the algorithms as well as pseudo-code for producing some of the images is included.

Non-Binary Gender Identities The Language of Becoming

Non-Binary Gender Identities The Language of Becoming

Non-Binary Gender Identities examines how non-binary people discover adopt and negotiate language in a variety of social settings both offline and online. It considers how language in the form of gender-neutral pronouns names and labels is a central aspect of identity for many and has been the subject of much debate in recent years. Cordoba captures the psychological social and linguistic experiences of non-binary people by illustrating the multiple complex and evolving ways in which non-binary people use language to express their gender identities bodies authenticity and navigate social interactions – especially those where their identities are not affirmed. These findings shed light on the gender and linguistic becomings of non-binary people a pioneering theoretical framework developed in the book which reflects the dynamic realities of language subjectivities and the materiality of the body. Informed by these findings the text offers recommendations for policy makers and practitioners designed to facilitate gender-related communication and decrease language-related distress on non-binary people as well as the general population. This important book advances our understanding of non-binary gender identities by employing innovative methodologies – including corpus-based research and network visualisation – furthering and developing theory and yielding original insights. It is essential reading for students and academics in social psychology and gender studies as well as anyone interested in furthering their understanding of non-binary gender identities. | Non-Binary Gender Identities The Language of Becoming

Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons

Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons

Despite remarkable developments in the field a detailed treatment of non-Kerr law media has not been published. Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons is the first book devoted exclusively to optical soliton propagation in media that possesses non-Kerr law nonlinearities. After an introduction to the basic features of fiber-optic communications the book outlines the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) conserved quantities and adiabatic dynamics of soliton parameters. It then derives the NLSE for Kerr law nonlinearity from basic principles the inverse scattering transform and the 1-soliton solution. The book also explains the variational principle and Lie transform. In each case of non-Kerr law solitons the authors develop soliton dynamics evaluated integrals of motion and adiabatic dynamics of soliton parameters based on multiple-scale perturbation theory. The book explores intra-channel collision of optical solitons in both Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian type perturbations. In addition it examines the stochastic perturbation of optical solitons the corresponding Langevin equations and optical couplers followed by an introduction to optical bullets. Establishing a basis in an important yet insufficiently documented subject Introduction to non-Kerr Law Optical Solitons will help fuel advances in optical communication systems.

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Providing a practical guide to the training and assessment of non-technical skills within high-risk industries this book will be of direct interest to safety and training professionals working within aviation healthcare rail maritime and other high-risk industries. Currently each of these industries are working to integrate non-technical skills into their training and certification processes particularly in light of increasing international regulation in this area. However there is no definitive guidance to assist practitioners within these areas with the design of effective non-technical skills training and assessment programs. This book sets out to fully meet this need. It has been designed as a practically focussed companion to the 2008 book Safety at the Sharp End by Flin O'Connor and Crichton. While Safety at the Sharp End provides the definitive exploration of the need for non-technical skills training and examines in detail the main components of non-technical skills as they relate to safe operations the text does not focus on the nuts and bolts of designing training and assessment programs. To this end Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills: A Practical Guide provides an extension of this work and a fitting companion text. | Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop Challenges and Opportunities

How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop Challenges and Opportunities

How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop is an empirically based exploration of the challenges and opportunities non-permanent workers face in accessing quality work learning developing occupational identities and striving for sustainable working lives. Based on a study of 100 non-permanent workers in Singapore it offers a model to guide thinking about workers’ learning and development in terms of an ‘integrated practice’ of craft entrepreneurial and personal learning-to-learn skills. The book considers how strategies for continuing education and training can better fit with the realities of non-permanent work. Through its use of case studies the book exams the significance of non-permanent work and its rise as a global phenomenon. It considers the reality of being a non-permanent worker and reactions to learning opportunities for these individuals. The book draws these aspects together to present a conceptual frame of ‘integrated practices’ challenging educational institutions and training providers to design and deliver learning and the enacted curriculum not as separate pieces of a puzzle but as an integrated whole. With conclusions that have wider salience for public policy responses to the rise of non-permanent work this book will be of great interest to academics and researchers in the fields of adult education educational policy and lifelong learning. | How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop Challenges and Opportunities

The bioeconomy and non-timber forest products

The bioeconomy and non-timber forest products

This book provides the first in-depth investigation of how non-timber forest products are an integral part of local national and global bioeconomies. While the plants and fungi that produce non-timber forest products are essential to the sustainability of forest ecosystems peoples' food and livelihood security and sovereignty and thus the bioeconomy are often absent from bioeconomic strategies. Presenting a selection of empirical cases from around the world that engage with the bioeconomy and non-timber forest products this volume reveals how essential these products are to creating a greener and more sustainable future how to to better integrate them into efforts to transition to and expand the bioeconomy and how such efforts can be supported and developed. Chapters analyse how and to what degree non-timber forest products promote sustainable resource use generate employment and contribute to food and livelihood security and poverty alleviation. The volume develops approaches and identifies interventions and policies to support the integration of non-timber forest products into bioeconomy strategies including in national reporting schemes to provide recommendations for future research and practical implementation. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of forest and natural resource management bioeconomics circular economy and ecological economics more widely.

Violent Non-State Actors From Anarchists to Jihadists

Violent Non-State Actors From Anarchists to Jihadists

Given the importance of violent non-state actors (VNSA) and their evolving role in global politics dynamic frameworks of analysis are needed both to trace historical trajectories in the evolution of violent non-state actorness and to identify emerging patterns by examining modern day cases. This book examines the defining characteristics and evolutionary dynamics of VNSAs and introduces a framework based on their autonomy representation and influence providing a comparative analysis of the late 19th and early 20th centuries’ Anarchist movement and the modern-day Jihadist network. It explores the distinct characteristics of the Anarchists and Jihadists as VNSAs with global potential not just describing them but also seeking to understand what they are instances of. With a longitudinal analysis the book also considers the types of changes that have occurred in the past 150 years and the possible role VNSAs may play in current and future power polity shifts away from states toward non-state actors. It concludes with both theoretical implications for the study of non-state actors and transnational relations and practical implications for government agencies or private groups tasked with finding ways of countering such violent non-state actors. This important book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations political science and terrorism/security studies. It will also be of interest to practitioners in the security services including think-tank analysts and government security analysts. | Violent Non-State Actors From Anarchists to Jihadists

Non-Renewable Resources and Disequilibrium Macrodynamics

Non-Renewable Resources and Disequilibrium Macrodynamics

This study first published in 1979 continues by examining the question of whether a competitive economy can efficiently allocate a stock of non-renewable natural resources through time. Long-run analyses of competitive economies with such resources have concluded that without perfect foresight or a complete set of future markets extending infinitely far into the future there is no economic mechanism to guarantee that the initial price is set so that the economy converges to the socially desirable path of balanced growth. This title will be of interest to students of environmental and natural resource economics. | Non-Renewable Resources and Disequilibrium Macrodynamics

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Traditional fermented foods are not only the staple food for most of developing countries but also the key healthy food for developed countries. As the healthy functions of these foods are gradually discovered more high throughput biotechnologies are being used to promote the fermented food industries. As a result the microorganisms process biochemistry manufacturing and down-streaming processing as well as the bioactive metabolites released by the fermenting organisms and above all the healthy functions of these foods were extensively researched. The application and progress of biotechnology and biochemistry of traditional fermented food systems are different from each other as the microorganisms and the food matrices vary widely. Part I (Biochemistry and Biotechnology) of this book (Fermented Foods) discusses the general aspects of biochemistry and biotechnological application of fermented foods involving acetic acid bacteria lactic acid bacteria ethanolic yeasts and fungi in accelerating the many and variable functional factors in the fermented foods as well as metagenomics of fermented foods. The detailed technological interventions involved in different categories of fermented foods such as fermented cereals (bread and sourdough) fermented milk products (yogurt cheese) fermented sausages fermented vegetables (kimchi sauerkraut) fermented legumes (tempeh natto) and coffee and cocoa fermentations and fermented beverages (animal- and plant-based) with their potential and actual health benefits are discussed in Part II (Fermented Foods: Technological Interventions). | Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology
