    While there is research on self-regulation in early childhood and its relation to language development, there is a paucity of research that exists centering on selfregulatory skills and young Latinx learners. This book¿s originality and contribution to the field are based on the unique focus on developing executive functioning skills related to Latinxs. There are no books in the field that have solely discussed both cognitive and impulse control in Dual Language Learner Latinx preschool students. This book can be used in early childhood courses, bilingual educational courses, child development courses, and psychology courses.

    American Murids is a major new ethnography of an African Sufi Muslim immigrant community in the United States. It is particularly timely given the current contentious discourse concerning Muslims and immigration. By listening to what Murids say about themselves, author Jonathan Bornman gives us the first ever look at how the spiritual and ethical values of Murids in the diaspora influence the ways they interact with other communities in New York City.No other religious group in West Africa has generated more scholarship than the Muridiyya of Senegal. Much of this literature has focused on history, social and political science, economics, migration, and transnationality. This book offers a fresh look by using the lens of nonviolence, revealing the Murid commitment to shared peace. The discovery of a transnational Murid youth movement in New York City, balancing tradition and new expressions of faith, points towards the emergence of an American Muridiyya.

    El proyecto político-ideológico del régimen franquista en España (1939-1975) concebía un retorno a la tradición, lo que significaba recluir a la población femenina al ámbito exclusivo de la familia y seguir fielmente la tradición católica. Pese a la censura, muchas autoras lograron transmitir sus reivindicaciones y sus frustraciones, bien fuera con su propia voz o utilizando seudónimos, refugiándose en la palabra de los personajes de sus ficciones u oscureciendoel mensaje a través del tono poético o de las técnicas literarias novedosas. Entre ellas, las aquí presentadas: Ángela Figuera Aymerich, Carmen Conde, Amalia Junquera, Gloria Fuertes, Amparo Conde, Conchita Montes, Carmen Laforet, Mercedes Ballesteros, Mercedes Formica, Elena Soriano, Carmen Kurtz, Elena Quiroga y Carmen Martín Gaite.

    This book examines patterns of behavior during an era of mass brutality by analyzing, in a transnational context, mechanisms of violence and ethnic cleansing in the Balkan Wars of 1912¿13. The main goal is to incorporate these conflicts into the broader discussion of the Greater War (1917¿1923), thereby challenging western, Eurocentric dominance of historiography about the First World War. In contrast to earlier works of the political, diplomatic, and military history of the Balkan Wars, this book deals with what took place behind the front lines. Panagiotis Delis explores interactions between the regular army, irregulars, and local civilians, and discusses how the collective experience of war generated an undeclared ¿war on the sidelines¿.The Balkan Wars: Notions of Violence and Ethnic Cleansing on the Eve of the First World War is a fascinating new assessment of an important but often neglected conflict. It is also a major new contribution to our understanding of the mechanisms of violence and ethnic cleansing.The Balkan Wars have a special place in the history of twentieth-century violence and one that is not often recognised in Western scholarship. As Panagiotis Delis shows in his excellent book, many of the logics and practices of violence that came to dominate in Europe between 1914 and 1945 were anticipated in the Balkan Wars.¿Robert Gerwarth, Professor, Director, UCD Centre for War StudiesThis is a rigorously researched and masterfully analyzed study of violence at the local level, offering an indispensable comparative perspective on several Balkan borderlands.¿Theodora Dragostinova, Professor of History, The Ohio State UniversityPanagiotis Delis holds a PhD in history from Simon Fraser University. He serves as a permanent civil servant and as research associate at the University of Athens.

    Desde hace unos años hemos visto cómo la figura del vampiro ha pasado de ser una que infunde terror, a una que desata pasiones, un don Juan. El vampirismo es el nuevo donjuanismo, por lo que hablaremos de un arquetipo: el don vampiro. Pero ¿cómo es posible? El libro "Don Vampiro: De monstruo a amante" te lo cuenta. Revisando obras como "El Vampiro" de John William Polidori, pasando por los donvampiros cinematográficos más emblemáticos de Hollywood o por los del cine de terror español de los años 70 (el fantaterror), en este libro verás trazada una línea desde los orígenes del vampiro seductor hasta llegar a versiones recientes y al análisis del panorama actual del relato español."Don Vampiro" es una monografía que investiga la creación y desarrollo del arquetipo del vampiro seductor haciendo un recorrido por las obras literarias y cinematográficas que forjaron el personaje. Asimismo, explora la tradición del arquetipo en el cine y el relato español, haciendo hincapié en las representaciones más recientes y en la convergencia de elementos globales y españoles en las diversas iteraciones del mito. Además, el libro se centra en revelar cómo las representaciones del vampiro van amoldándose a los cambios socioculturales. Con los cambios sociales se necesitan nuevos monstrous para fascinar y poner a prueba los valores anteriores. Los donvampiros aparecen para retar especialmente al patriarcado y, con ello, poner en evidencia la opresión que ha ejercido sobre las personas que no han encajado en sus moldes tradicionales. Este libro puede ser de interés tanto para académicos como para aficionados a la literatura y al cine donjuanescos y de vampiros.

    Throughout history, the Fourth Gospel has been an enigma to its readers, and most notably in the way that it shapes its characters. Although traditional approaches to gospel characterization have often confined its characters to the pages of the text, The Voices of the Fourth Gospel presents a fresh, interdisciplinary approach that reveals the characterizations of the Fourth Gospel as vibrant, literary products based on eyewitness testimony of their encounters with Jesus of Nazareth. As such, the characters of the Fourth Gospel emerge as unique "voices" that speak to both the realities of their narrative world and the context of the emerging Christian community in Ephesus at the end of the first century. Based on the Fourth Gospel¿s chronological and geographical distinctions, The Voices of the Fourth Gospel challenges its readers to hear the voices of each character from the historical memory of the Johannine church through five character case-studies: (1) the Disciple whom Jesus Loved, (2) Jesus of Nazareth, (3) John the Baptist, (4) Nicodemus, and (5) the Samaritan woman. Written for scholars, pastors, and serious students of Scripture, The Voices of the Fourth Gospel is an ideal source for readers who seek to better understand the Fourth Gospel from within its own cultural world.

    In regelmäßigen Abständen stimmen Delegierte von internationalen Sportverbänden über die Vergabe von sportlichen Großereignissen ab. Mit einer solchen Vergabe treffen Sportverbände keine bloße Standortentscheidung, sondern setzen im Rahmen ihrer Wettkampforganisation mittels Austragungsbedingungen gezielt wirtschaftliche Interessen um. Dank ihrer Veranstalterposition und der daraus resultierenden rechtlichen Gestaltungsmacht können Sportverbände die wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen für eine Vergabe festlegen und sich exklusive Vermarktungsrechte sichern. Die bestmögliche Umsetzung der wirtschaftlichen Ziele ist für den veranstaltenden Sportverband ebenso bedeutsam wie die Qualität der angebotenen Leistungen. Dies macht Vergabeentscheidungen besonders anfällig für Korruption.Die Autorin zeigt in dieser Doktorarbeit auf, dass eine Vergabeentscheidung, die sich nicht allein nach Geeignetheit und Qualität der angebotenen Leistungen richtet, den leistungsbezogenen und lauteren Wettbewerb stört und befasst sich mit der Frage:Ist eine von Korruption beeinflusste Stimmabgabe bei einer Vergabeentscheidung über sportliche Großereignisse nach §¿299¿StGB strafbar?

    «This is a very good argument, with impressive detail, clear structure, and vehement commitment.»(M. McEldowney, Emeritus Professor of Planning) This book provides a post-Covid recovery strategy for the UK that is based on all aspects of health, but also addresses the ever-greater threat from global warming. Health and sustainability are interlocked.More than other European nations, we favour libertarian values over social equity, privatized public services and lower taxes that reduce those services. From fair-minded pragmatism, we have descended into dogma, incompetence and intolerance.Using the government's 5 guiding principles for a sustainable future, the book suggests how to improve distinct aspects of health:personal health through more preventive medicine;environmental health with lower transport and household emissions;economic health through local (rather than global) production of goods and services;social health by reducing gross health and wealth inequalities; andpolitical health through strategic commitment, fair taxes (a bedroom tax just on the poor?) and real devolution to local councils.We need to think local, act local and act now.

    Politische Kampfgruppen wie das Reichsbanner ¿Schwarz-Rot-Gold", der Rote Frontkämpferbund (RFB) oder die Sturmabteilung (SA) waren Schlüsselfiguren der Weimarer Republik. Mit gewalttätigen Agitationskampagnen prägten sie das politische Klima, besonders für Parteien wie die NSDAP. Dieser Band beleuchtet den Erfolg der NSDAP 1932 in der Provinz und erforscht erstmals die linke Opposition zu der SA in Schleswig-Holstein. Hierzu wird das komplexe Verhältnis zwischen dem Reichsbanner und dem RFB, zwei sich politisch vermeintlich nahestehenden Organisationen, betrachtet. Ein tiefgreifendes Verständnis dieses Verhältnisses ermöglicht neue Einsichten in die politische Dynamik dieser Zeit. Durch die Analyse von historischen Dokumenten und Archivmaterial offenbart das Werk bisher unbekannte Facetten des politischen Kampfes und der ideologischen Spannungen der Weimarer Republik.Politische Kampfgruppen wie das Reichsbanner ¿Schwarz-Rot-Gold, der Rote Frontkämpferbund (RFB) oder die Sturmabteilung (SA) waren eine typische Erscheinung der Weimarer Republik. Mit ihren Agitationskampagnen, die nicht selten gewaltsam endeten, politisierten sie die Bevölkerung im höchsten Maße. Sie waren für den politischen Erfolg einer Partei von großer Bedeutung. So auch für die NSDAP, die 1932 erstmals stärkste Kraft in der Provinz wurde. Ausgehend von ihrem Erfolg fragt dieser Band nach der in Schleswig-Holstein wenig erforschten linken Opposition zu der nationalsozialistischen SA. Hierzu wird das gegenseitige Verhältnis zwischen dem Reichsbanner und dem RFB, zwei sich politisch vermeintlich nahestehenden Organisationen, betrachtet.

    Dieses Buch erörtert die spezifischen Probleme, die sich aus der Unwirksamkeit gescheiterter Preisanpassungsklauseln im Rahmen von Dauerschuldverhältnissen ergeben. Die Autorin analysiert die geltungserhaltende Reduktion, die Aufspaltung teilunwirksamer Klauseln, die Lückenschließung, die Teilnichtigkeit des Vertrags und die Erstattungsansprüche bei unwirksam vereinbarten Preisanpassungsklauseln anhand des deutschen Rechts sowie unter Berücksichtigung des europäischen Rechts. Anschließend exemplifiziert sie ihre Erkenntnisse am Beispiel langfristiger Energielieferverträge. Feststellend, dass die Lückenschließung nach der sog. Dreijahreslösung des Bundesgerichtshofs unionsrechtswidrig ist, prüft sie abschließend, ob ein Vertragsanpassungsanspruch aufgrund § 313 BGB begründet werden kann.

    «Antonis Balasopoulos is to be heartily thanked for bringing back into print A. L. Morton¿s marvelous book The English Utopia ¿ and for providing us with not only a useful and insightful Introduction, but also a comprehensive bibliography of Leslie Morton¿s many writings. We definitely need such works in these difficult times when democracy is under siege by authoritarian forces. Morton¿s chapters may well truly serve both to empower our critical thinking and to inspire our radical-democratic imaginations.»(Harvey J Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy & Justice, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay)«Antonis Balasopoulos describes his job as an ¿exercise in historical reclamation.¿ He is due much gratitude for both the scrupulousness and the expertise he brings to his task. The Introduction is a model of its kind, positioning Morton in his own milieu as a committed intellectual. Morton¿s book more than deserves this careful attention. In this new Ralahine edition, The English Utopia appears as the seminal text in utopian studies it should have been. »(Patricia McManus, Senior Lecturer, School of Humanities and Social Science, University of Brighton)A. L. Morton¿s classic 1952 study of utopias in the context of British social history constitutes one of the earliest sustained engagements with the social and ideological sources of the utopian imagination, the importance of the class struggle for literary production and of literary production for cultural, if not political hegemony. Traversing English literary history from the medieval poem on the Land of Cockaygne to Sir Thomas More, to William Morris¿s News from Nowhere and the subsequent decline of the genre and the eventual rise of anti-utopian and dystopian strains in the early twentieth century, The English Utopia remains provocative and critically engaging more than seventy years after its original publication. In addition to charting its significance as an intervention, the present edition also brings to light Morton¿s complex role as Left political activist, historian, scholarly catalyst and cultural critic ¿ a paradigmatic instance of the engaged and public intellectual.

    Wahrnehmung und Einstellung der Bevölkerung zum Strafvollzug werden entscheidend von den ihr zur Verfügung stehenden Informationen geprägt. Fehleinschätzungen der Strafvollzugswirklichkeit sind das Ergebnis von wechselseitigen Kommunikationsprozessen, auf deren Ebenen, abhängig vom Strafvollzugszeitgeist, unterschiedliche Strafvollzugswirklichkeiten dargestellt werden. Aufgrund der spärlichen Informationsquellen der Bürger stellen die medialen Nachrichten mitunter die einzige Quelle dar, anhand derer die Rezipienten ihre Einstellung und Meinung zum Strafvollzug entwickeln. Ausgehend von diesen Überlegungen befasst sich die Dissertation mit der Frage, wie die lokale Presse über den Strafvollzug berichtet. Die Datengrundlage der Inhaltsanalyse bilden 1603 Presseartikel, die in der Meppener Tagespost erschienen sind.

    Es mangelt nicht an Ideen, wissenschaftliche Herangehensweisen in den Unterricht zu integrieren; neuen didaktischen Perspektiven fehlen jedoch oftmals Erfahrungswerte aus der Praxis. Am Beispiel Deutsch und Norwegisch wird im vorliegenden Buch beschrieben, wie kontrastive Feldermodelle sowohl als theoretische Beschreibungsmuster wie auch als didaktische Werkzeuge dienen können. Der praktische Nutzen wird dabei durch konkrete Didaktisierungsbeispiele sowie durch eine Studie zum Einsatz dieser Modelle im universitären DaF-Unterricht gestützt. Damit eignet sich der Band für Interessenten einer topologischen Sprachbeschreibung und für Sprachdidaktiker gleichermaßen. Über das gewählte Sprachenpaar hinaus kann die Studie neue Impulse für einen vergleichenden Fremdsprachenunterricht im Allgemeinen setzen.

    Why is it that churches agree to the same basic faith in hundreds of dialogues, and yet remain locked in an "ecumenical winter"? In Choose the Narrow Path, Bishop Pierre Whalon argues that to acknowledge the same doctrines while acting as if churches should remain separate is not only a recipe for disaster, but it is also itself a sin. This book spells out that doctrinal agreement in Part I, while Part II uncovers a more personal reaction, structured around the Nicene Creed.The primary argument is that, while churches may be "one," "holy," and "catholic" in what they believe, none of them is truly "apostolic" in their action. To begin to address this failing, the author calls for exceptional intercommunion for members of all churches that subscribe to the Narrow Path but are still reluctant to walk it together."Bishop Pierre Whalon ¿ offers clear points about the challenges that Churches face, but also a way forward through what he describes as "the narrow path."¿ The Most Reverend Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church"Bishop Pierre Whalon¿s Choose the Narrow Path is a much needed and highly accessible handbook of the contemporary Ecumenical Movement for the unity of the Christian Churches."¿ The Right Reverend R. William Franklin, Assistant Bishop, Diocese of Long Island"Bishop Pierre Whalon has gone beyond the rhetoric to produce a sound scriptural-based systematic treatise with concrete practical applications. The book ¿ may well be the catalyst, as the subtitle suggests, That Opens the Way for the Churches to Walk Together."¿Prof. Cyril Orji, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Dayton, OH"Bishop Whalon¿s Choose the Narrow Path is ¿ a book for Christians of all stripes to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest¿great for study groups and church leaders alike."¿The Very Reverend Dr. William S. Stafford, Dean Emeritus of The School of Theology, Sewanee, USA"To walk any narrow path with a precipice on either side is very dangerous, but Bishop Pierre Whalon proves to be an excellent and sure-footed guide for the churches to try to walk together. He calls for action now so that we can avoid the scandal of disunity which threatens to plunge us into the depths, and instead to witness together to Jesus the Risen Christ."¿The Rev¿d Canon Professor Richard A. Burridge,The University of Manchester

    The book is the last volume of an extensive four-volume monograph devoted to the work of Cyprian Norwid (1821¿1883), one of the most outstanding Polish authors. The impact of Norwid¿s oeuvre does not fade, as he addresses fundamental and timeless issues, such as the moral and spiritual condition of man or his place in the world and history, and seeks to answer universal questions. The volume includes articles devoted to the analysis of selected sources and inspirations underlying Norwid¿s work, as well as comparative texts tracing the manifestations of the commonality of thoughts and views connecting Norwid with the leading writers and artists of different periods. As a result, we received a multi-faceted image of an artist who, on the one hand, was strongly rooted in the tradition and modernity of Western European culture, and on the other, was characterized by great openness and sensitivity to otherness and cultural diversity.

    Derzeit kommt der rechtspolitischen Diskussion über Nachhaltigkeitsthemen im Unternehmensrecht, der sog. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), besonderes Gewicht zu. Neue Regulierungsansätze im Allgemeinen wie das Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz (LkSG) und das EU-Richtlinienpendant Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) sowie aktuelle Fälle aus der internationalen Gerichtspraxis im Besonderen haben den rechtswissenschaftlichen Diskurs über die Verantwortung von inländischen Gesellschaften für (Menschen-)Rechtsverstöße neu befruchtet.Vor diesem Hintergrund bildet die Autorin Fallgruppen konzern- und lieferkettendimensionaler Verkehrspflichten und untersucht deren Administration in die Unternehmenspraxis. Dabei liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf der Umsetzung innerhalb der Corporate Governance- und Compliance-Systeme sowie den Haftungsrisiken der Leitungsorgane. Die Thematik wird interdisziplinär unter Berücksichtigung der verschiedenen Teildisziplinen der Rechtswissenschaften sowie unter Beachtung betriebswirtschaftlicher Aspekte erforscht und abschließend thesenartig beurteilt.

    The present book takes up the long-debated subject of the presence of amber around the Adriatic during the Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). It offers an exhaustive review of the current state of knowledge about the use of amber by prehistoric communities living on the opposite sides of the sea. The author focuses primarily on the spatial and chronological aspects of amber¿s acquisition in Italy and the Balkans, form and function of the artefacts made of it, issues connected to their processing and ways of circulation of these products within the study area. Furthermore, attention is paid to material and symbolic statuses of amber among the local societies. Finally, the role of the circum-Adriatic zone in the long-range transfer of amber from Northern to Southern Europe is assessed.

    Mobilities are an essential issue in contemporary societies, which have recently been reexamined as a result of calls for ecological transition, on the one hand, and the impact of the global Covid 19 pandemic, on the other. The original contribution of this book is that it starts from the polysemic meaning of mobility, paying attention to different scales of perception and action, the lived spaces in which mobility occurs, and the ¿alternative¿ character of so-called sustainable mobilities and the actors who display or engage in such practices. The concept of mobilities is thus considered in relation to urban spaces and sustainability, based on the analysis of French case studies from a European perspective and using multidisciplinary social sciences approaches.

    This book is a collection of excellent essays about heroic, intelligent, perceptive, and resourceful private citizens with exceptional investigative capacities and their important contributions to noteworthy criminal cases which are discussed in literary masterpieces by Agatha Christie and Dorothy Bowers. These citizen sleuths are motivated by a strong moral courage, by a commitment to examine the evidence in any case meticulously and thoroughly, by a spirit of civic devotion, by a dedication to searching carefully and honestly for the truth, and by a strong belief in ethical values, fairness, and justice so that the security and wellbeing of a community can be supported and preserved. These citizen sleuths, who often collaborate effectively with law enforcement officials in investigations, all passionately share Miss Marple¿s belief, which she expresses in Chapter Twenty-eight of Agatha Christie¿s A Pocket Full of Rye, that it is vital "that wickedness shouldn¿t triumph" in everyday life and in society. Each of the four chapters focuses on a different type of malevolent character which these citizen sleuths notice and investigate: murderous family members, treacherous friends, devilish figures, and corrupt officials who abuse and exploit their positions of authority. The conclusion examines several fascinating cold case scenarios in the works of Agatha Christie."Something between Edgar Allan Poe¿s detective prodigy of the preternatural and Jane Austen¿s ¿neighbourhood of voluntary spies,¿ Christie¿s and Bowers¿s amateur sleuths have a nose for foul play and an unflinching sense of civic duty and moral courage. A welcome intervention in a critically neglected genre, Hugo Walter¿s timely study offers rare insight into the history, influence, and mechanics of the modern ¿whodunit?¿. While focused on Christie and Bowers unassuming-but-intrepid protagonists, this engaging work offers a much broader sociology of citizen detectives and the allure of their uncanny capacity to inhabit diabolical genius and their moral obligation to even the score."¿Gregory S. Jackson, Rutgers University
