Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Does democracy require an agreement on specific foundational values? Bringing insights from Turkey to the study of democratization this book argues that democracy may rather be about acknowledging the disagreement over values before negotiating over other concerns such as rights freedoms capabilities and duties. It explores this idea by examining three landscapes of culture in Turkey which have been the subjects of persistent stories regarding the unequal relationship between the self and the other. These include LGBT visibility and the entertainment sector women and clothing and Alevism and funerals. Through these case studies the book analyses the remaking of (in)tolerance through the integration of LGBT representations into broader political struggles over values the assertion of women’s rights and freedoms from traditional values surrounding dress and the conflict between essentialist intolerance and the syncretic traditions of Alevi identity. Bringing these landscapes together with the surrounding cultural tensions in Turkey and the West Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Middle Eastern studies and politics gender studies and cultural studies. | Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Automated Software Testing with Cypress

Automated Software Testing with Cypress

Unit Integration Testing (UIT) had been a challenge because there was no tool that could help in XHR programming and unit integration validations in an efficient way until Cypress arrived. Cypress started releasing versions in 2015 and became popular in 2018 with version 2. 0. 0. This book explores Cypress scripts that help implement ‘shift left testing’ which is a dream come true for many software testers. Shift left occurs in the majority of testing projects but could not be implemented fully because tools were unavailable and knowledge was lacking about the possibilities of testing early in the life cycle. Shift left is a key testing strategy to help testing teams focus less on defect identifications and more on developing practices to prevent defects. Cypress scripts can help front-end developers and quality engineers to work together to find defects soon after web components are built. These components can be tested immediately after they are built with Cypress Test Driven Development (TDD) scripts. Thus defects can be fixed straight away during the development stage. Testing teams do not have to worry about finding these same defects in a later development stage because Cypress tests keep verifying components in the later stages. Defect fixing has become much cheaper with Cypress than when other tools are used. The book also covers Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)-based Gherkin scripts and the Cypress Cucumber preprocessor which can improve test scenario coverage. Automated Software Testing with Cypress is written to fulfil the BDD and TDD needs of testing teams. Two distinct open source repositories are provided in Github to help start running Cypress tests in no time!

Food

In Food John Coveney examines ‘food as … ’ identity politics industry regulation the environment justice and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. The centrality of food in life and the importance of food as life is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates personal pleasure and political power food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological social and cultural existence. In recent years interest in food has increased across the academic public and popular spheres fuelled by popular media’s constant play on the role of food and body size and food and cooking as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food we construct our social identities our families and communities. However Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialisation of food the environment and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries on which most of us must rely have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet and the development of illness and diseases. This accessible primer is for students and general readers alike indeed for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead it shows how influential symbolic powerful and transformative food has come to be.

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

This book explains how True Cost Accounting is an effective tool we can use to address the pervasive imbalance in our food system. Calls are coming from all quarters that the food system is broken and needs a radical transformation. A system that feeds many yet continues to create both extreme hunger and diet-related diseases and one which has significant environmental impacts is not serving the world adequately. This volume argues that True Cost Accounting in our food system can create a framework for a systemic shift. What sounds on the surface like a practice relegated to accountants is ultimately a call for a new lens on the valuation of food and a new relationship with the food we eat starting with the reform of a system out of balance. From the true cost of corn rice and water to incentives for soil health the chapters economically compare conventional and regenerative more equitable farming practices in and food system structures including taking an unflinching look at the true cost of cheap labour. Overall this volume points towards the potential for our food system to be more human-centred than profit-centred and one that has a more respectful relationship to the planet. It sets forth a path forward based on True Cost Accounting for food. This path seeks to fix our current food metrics in policy and in practice by applying a holistic lens that evaluates the actual costs and benefits of different food systems and the impacts and dependencies between natural systems human systems agriculture and food systems. This volume is essential reading for professionals and policymakers involved in developing and reforming the food system as well as students and scholars working on food policy food systems and sustainability. | True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale
