    In this tribute to the Warlpiri culture, Yawulyu from Yuendumu, Cecily Napanangka Granites brings to life the ceremony of Yawulyu, a ceremonial combination of body painting, dance and song. Raised in Yuendumu, Central Australia, Cecily follows in the footsteps of her mother, Dolly Nampijinpa Daniels, a Lawwoman, becoming a guardian of her people's traditions. Through her experiences as a bilingual teacher and involvement in the aftermath of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (NT) of 1976, Cecily's journey is one of resilience and dedication. In this book, co-authored with her friend Katie Thompson, Cecily explores her connection to the sacred Jukurrpa - the Dreaming stories and Ceremonies that are the heartbeat of Warlpiri women's heritage. As Cecily confronts personal trials and the challenges Indigenous Australians face, her story emerges as a formidable testament to the strength of cultural legacy. This book, featuring powerful photos by Noel Ferry, is essential for those seeking to understand Indigenous Australians and the unbreakable bond between the people and the land. A website and a YouTube channel accompany this book. The URLs can be found within the book.

    En la mayoría de los edificios, el calor se elimina del edificio porque no es transferible a las zonas que requieren calefacción. El diseño general de la envolvente arquitectónica puede ayudar a mejorar la cantidad de eficiencia térmica con el fin de recuperar la pérdida de calor durante una temporada de invierno . Sin embargo, el control térmico sólo puede lograrse mediante la comprensión del rendimiento térmico de la envolvente del edificio en relación con los parámetros climáticos pertinentes.

    Nella maggior parte degli edifici, il calore viene rimosso dall'edificio perché non è trasferibile alle aree che richiedono il riscaldamento. La progettazione complessiva dell'involucro architettonico può contribuire a migliorare l'efficienza termica per recuperare le perdite di calore durante la stagione invernale. Tuttavia, il controllo termico può essere ottenuto solo attraverso la comprensione delle prestazioni termiche dell'involucro edilizio in relazione ai parametri meteorologici rilevanti. Inoltre, ci si rende sempre più conto che si può fare molto per ridurre i carichi di raffreddamento e riscaldamento e il consumo energetico degli edifici climatizzati attraverso una scelta adeguata dei materiali dell'involucro edilizio e della progettazione dell'involucro stesso.1 Per le ragioni precedenti, l'intera portata dei diversi fattori e parametri spinge a porsi la seguente domanda: quali sono i principi del comportamento dinamico degli edifici solari passivi e le strategie per aumentare le prestazioni energetiche del riscaldamento? In altre parole, come possiamo utilizzare il calore del sole per riscaldare l'edificio quando fa freddo senza ricorrere ad apparecchiature meccaniche o elettriche? La scelta corretta dei materiali dell'involucro edilizio influisce sull'aumento delle prestazioni energetiche di riscaldamento e sul comfort termico?

    In den meisten Gebäuden wird die Wärme aus dem Gebäude entfernt, weil sie nicht in die Bereiche übertragen werden kann, die geheizt werden müssen. The overall architectural envelope design can help to improve the amount of heat efficiency in order to recover the heat loss during a winter season . Thermal control can only be achieved through understanding of the thermal performance of the building envelope in relation to relevant weather parameters. Es wird auch immer mehr erkannt, dass viel getan werden kann, um die Kühl- und Heizkosten sowie den Energieverbrauch von klimatisierten Gebäuden durch die richtige Wahl der Materialien und des Designs der Gebäudehülle zu reduzieren.1 Aus diesen Gründen drängt die gesamte Bandbreite der verschiedenen Faktoren und Parameter auf die folgende Frage: Welche dynamischen Verhaltensgrundsätze und Strategien zur Steigerung der Heizenergieleistung von passiven Solargebäuden gibt es? In another words , How can we use the sun's heat to worm the building when it is cold without relying on any mechanical or electrical equipment? Does The proper choice of building envelope materials affect the increasing heating energy performance and thermal comfort?

    Als ich mein Pädagogikstudium begann, stellte ich fest, dass es einige Lücken gab, wie z. B. eine stärkere Verbindung zwischen Theorie und Praxis, da nur wenige Fächer im Studiengang diese Verbindung herstellen. Mit dem Ziel, den Kontext der Schule kennenzulernen und eine Verbindung zu akademischen Theorien herzustellen, nahm ich 2014 am Auswahlverfahren für das institutionelle Stipendienprogramm zur Einführung in den Lehrerberuf (PIBID) teil, da ich glaubte, dass es zur Erweiterung meines Wissens beitragen würde. Während meiner Teilnahme an dem Programm ergaben sich einige Fragen, wie z. B.: Wie haben die Maßnahmen von PIBID im schulischen Umfeld zur Fortbildung und Neusignifizierung des Wissens der betreuenden Lehrkräfte beigetragen? Die Analysen zeigten, dass das Teilprojekt "Early Years" die Zusammenarbeit förderte, da die in seinem Rahmen entwickelten Maßnahmen gemeinsam mit allen Beteiligten durchgeführt wurden. Die entwickelten Aktivitäten veränderten das pädagogische Handeln, indem sie das pädagogische Wissen der BetreuerInnen neu definierten.

    La obra se propone como un acercamiento a la lengua de la medicina y de la salud en la dirección español ¿ italiano. El estudio comienza afrontando la importancia de definir, en primer lugar, la salud en el marco de las lenguas para fines específicos, teniendo en consideración bien los componentes temáticos que la identifican, bien su dimensión comunicativa que se basa en el nivel de los participantes y en los propósitos comunicativos (comunicación experto-experto; comunicación experto-semiexperto; comunicación experto-público lego). Una vez descrito el español en el marco de las lenguas para fines específicos, se pasa al análisis de sus rasgos definitorios a nivel léxico, a nivel morfosintáctico y a nivel pragmático-discursivo. En los capítulos siguientes, se presenta el corpus y el glosario terminológico ONCO_ESP_IT que contienen textos y lemas pertenecientes al ámbito de la oncología, que pueden ser una herramienta útil para un público de pacientes, familiares, profesionales de la salud, en fin usuarios de esta lengua de especialidad. El volumen se dirige a estudiantes que quieran especializarse en el español de la salud, así como a profesores e investigadores de lengua y traducción como herramienta de reflexión metalingüística. Esperamos además que los contenidos puedan ser de aprovechamiento para la demanda educativa del público lego.

    Dans la plupart des bâtiments, la chaleur est évacuée du bâtiment car elle n¿est pas transférable aux zones qui nécessitent du chauffage. La conception globale de l'enveloppe architecturale peut contribuer à améliorer l'efficacité thermique afin de récupérer la perte de chaleur au cours d'une saison hivernale. Cependant, le contrôle thermique ne peut être réalisé qu'en comprenant la performance thermique de l'enveloppe du bâtiment par rapport aux paramètres météorologiques pertinents. On se rend également de plus en plus compte qüil est possible de faire beaucoup pour réduire les charges de refroidissement et de chauffage ainsi que la consommation d¿énergie des bâtiments climatisés grâce à un choix judicieux des matériaux et de la conception de l¿enveloppe du bâtiment.1 Pour les raisons précédentes, l¿ensemble des différents facteurs et paramètres poussent à poser la question suivante : Quels sont les principes de comportement dynamique des bâtiments solaires passifs et les stratégies d'augmentation des performances énergétiques de chauffage ? En d'autres termes, comment pouvons-nous utiliser la chaleur du soleil pour vermifuger le bâtiment lorsqu'il fait froid sans recourir à aucun équipement mécanique ou électrique ?

    A reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior tem sido normalmente efectuada utilizando uma técnica em que o túnel femoral é perfurado ou posicionado na metade posterior do LCA nativo. Isto resulta num enxerto vertical que pode não controlar os movimentos combinados de translação tibial anterior e rotação tibial interna. Este facto pode levar a que os doentes apresentem sintomas de instabilidade. Descrevemos a técnica de enxerto do ligamento cruzado anterior utilizando uma terceira abordagem anterior medial acessória através da qual o túnel femoral é perfurado na sua posição correcta.

    This open access short reader offers an intersectional perspective on the meaning of home in migration. The book provides a pathway through existing scholarship on home and migration, exploring how intersectional power relations and transnational migration regimes are felt, experienced, lived and navigated by migrants, who are differently positioned, in the making and imagining of home. The meanings associated with home are composed of the interrelation of places, spaces, people, social relations, materialities, emotions and temporalities. These multiple aspects highlight the complexities inherent in the idea of home, which come to the fore particularly when one moves location. Migration and Home explores these issues by focusing on specific key aspects of home in migration: home and gender; home and age; home and materiality; and home and migration status, class and race. It proposes the concept of structural im/possibilities as a framework for understanding the power relations and structures that shape where, when and for whom home in migration is more, or less, possible.

    Urban Mobilities in Literature and Art Activism explores the entwinement of mobility and immobility in urban spaces by focusing on their representation in literary narratives but also in visual and performing arts. Across a range of geographical contexts, this volume builds on the new mobilities paradigm developed by literary scholars, sociologists and human geographers. The different chapters employ a cohesive framework that is sensitive to the intersecting dimensions of power and discrimination that shape urban kinetic features. The contributions are divided into three sections, each of which places the focus on a different aspect of urban mobility: Itinerant Subjects, Modes of Transport and Places of Transit, and Urban Liminalities.Chapter 7, "Alienation, Abjection and the Mobile Postcolonial City: Public Transport in Ousmane Sembène¿s ¿Niiwam¿ and Yvonne Veräs Without a Name" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

    Ein schwülwarmer Sommer in Kassel, irgendwann Ende der 1990er Jahre: Fünf Studierende treffen sich in der Wohnung eines Künstlers, um über Kunst und Literatur zu debattieren. Als sich am Vorabend auf einer Kunstvernissage ein junger Regisseur vergisst und einem Kommilitonen ¿einen Kuss auf die schöne Wange haucht¿, handelt er sich damit eine Backpfeife mit dem Schreibblock ein. Und so entspinnt sich am folgenden Morgen ein Reigen der Irrungen und Wirrungen, eingebunden in ein vor Aperçus nur so sprühendes Feuerwerk der Ironie und des sarkastischen Manierismus.Die Komödie ¿Die Matinée¿ ist ein süffiges Stück studentisches Theater, das den Duft eines unbeschwerten, leichten Sommers, die Gefühle von Kulturbeflissenheit und savoir vivre einfängt. Zwischen Humor und Ernsthaftigkeit, zwischen dem Wunsch nach anspruchsvoller Abendunterhaltung einerseits und zwei heiteren Stunden Theatererlebnis andererseits, präsentiert das vorliegende Buch einen komödiantischen Stoff in monographischer Form ¿ als Theatre Book, das zum Lesen und möglicherweise zu eigenen Inszenierungen anregen kann.

    In Anlehnung an die im englischsprachigen Bereich verbreitete Tradition des ¿Theater Books¿ ist in diesem Buch das Theaterstück Beltane monographisch dargestellt.Hier proben als ¿Theater auf dem Theater¿ engagierte Studierende einer Studentenbühne den Schulstoffklassiker Frühlingserwachen. Das Werk des Dramaturgen Frank Wedekind soll eine Neuadaption erfahren, folgt man der skurrilen Inszenierung des überambitionierten Jungregisseurs Mathis, der versucht, den ursprünglichen Stoff Wedekinds in eine antike Form zu kleiden. Die damit verbundenen schrägen Regieanweisungen haben schnell das Aufbegehren der übrigen Mitwirkenden zur Folge. Es beginnt ein Reigen aus Irrungen und Wirrungen. Konflikte, Diskussionen, Umgestaltung und Neuorientierung entwickeln sich beinahe zwangsläufig. So entsteht letztlich eine Mischung aus Komödie, Parodie und Theaterpersiflage, in der auch die existentielle Erfahrung des schwulen Coming-outs vor diesem Hintergrund zur Antikenparaphrase wird.Dieses Werk verdeutlicht die Komplexität der Interessen, die mit der Inszenierung eines studentischen Theaterstückes verbunden sind. Der Spannungsbogen reicht von den Träumen eines jungen engagierten Laienregisseurs, realweltlicher Orientierung der Mitkombattanten bis hin zu kommerziellen Zwängen und Mäzenatentum.

    'Full of wisdom and comfort ... a really important book' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN, author of Ultra-Processed PeopleHow can we embrace our non-negotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there's always too much to do? What if purposeful productivity were often about letting things happen, not making them happen?Reflecting on ideas drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help, Burkeman explores practical tools and shifts in perspective. The result is a bracing challenge to much familiar advice, and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully.Meditations for Mortals takes us on a liberating journey towards a more meaningful life - one that begins not with fantasies of the ideal existence, but with the reality in which we actually find ourselves.Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, it offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls 'imperfectionism'.To be read either as a four-week 'retreat of the mind' or devoured in one or two sittings, Meditations for Mortals will be a source of solace and inspiration, and an aid to a saner, freer, and more enchantment-filled life in 2025.In anxiety-inducing times, it is rich in truths we have never needed more.'Thoughtful, level-headed, and useful ... a book to meditate upon' THE TIMES'Oliver Burkeman has a way of giving you the most unexpected productivity advice exactly when you need it' MARK MANSON, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck** A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2024 **
