In the fall of 1886, Boston philanthropist Mary Tileston Hemenway sponsored an archaeological expedition to the American Southwest. Directed by anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing, the Hemenway Expedition sought to trace the ancestors of the Zuñis with an eye toward establishing a museum for the study of American Indians. In the third year of fieldwork, Hemenway's overseeing board fired Cushing based on doubts concerning his physical health and mental stability, and much of the expedition's work went unpublished. Today, however, it is recognized as a critical base for research into southwestern prehistory. This second installment of a multivolume work on the Hemenway Expedition focuses on a report written by Cushing—at the request of the expedition's board of directors—to serve as vindication for the expedition, the worst personal and professional failure of his life. Reconstructed between 1891 and 1893 by Cushing from field notes, diaries, jottings, and memories, it provides an account of the origins and early months of the expedition. Hidden in several archives for a century, the Itinerary is assembled and presented here for the first time. A vivid account of the first attempt at scientific excavatons in the Southwest, Cushing's Itinerary is both an exciting tale of travel through the region and an intellectual adventure story that sheds important light on the human past at Hohokam sites in Arizona's Salt River Valley, where Cushing sought to prove his hypothesis concerning the ancestral "Lost Ones" of the Zuñis. It initiates the construction of an ethnological approach to archaeology, which drew upon an unprecedented knowledge of a southwestern Pueblo tribe and use of that knowledge in the interpretation of archaeological sites.

Der Versuch, Friedrich Schillers Text Über die Ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen (1795) als ›Literatur‹ und nicht als ein theoretisch-poetologisches Dokument der Philosophie über die Kunst zu lesen, stellt die Plausibilität seiner konventionellen disziplinären Verortung in Frage. Denn der darin enthaltene programmatische Anspruch an die »ästhetische Kunst« und die »Dichtung« vollzieht sich zugleich und im selben Text anhand von literarischen Praktiken - wie der Performanz ›logischer Fehler‹. Mit dieser anderen Perspektive auf den vielfach gedeuteten Text erklärt und begründet Alexa Lucke die bis heute ungelösten Probleme seiner logischen Unstimmigkeiten, Widersprüche und Aporien.

Derzeit führen Innovationen auf dem Gebiet digitaler und robotischer Systeme in rascher Folge zu neuen Einsatzfeldern und Anwendungen in der Gesundheitsforschung, medizinischen Diagnostik, kurativen Behandlung und Pflege. Doch welchen konkreten Nutzen haben diese Entwicklungen für Patienten? Und inwiefern verbessern sie die Arbeitsbedingungen von Ärztinnen und Pflegekräften?Um die komplexen Herausforderungen, Chancen und Risiken digitaler Anwendungen zu analysieren, hat sich der ELSI-Ansatz (Ethical, Legal and Social Implications) als wertvolles Instrument etabliert. Die Berücksichtigung ethischer, rechtlicher und sozialer Implikationen ist in der Entwicklungsphase wie auch in der späteren wissenschaftlichen Evaluation ein empfehlenswerter Zugang. Kombiniert mit einem in die Forschung und Technikentwicklung integrierten Screening- und Assessment-Tool (SAT) kann hier von einer Art Goldstandard gesprochen werden. Ziel ist es, neue Anwendungen tiefgreifend zu verstehen, um sie auf dieser Basis zu testen, weiterzuentwickeln und zu optimieren. Expertinnen und Experten legen in diesem Buch den ELSI-SAT-Ansatz dar, führen in theoretische und ethische Grundlagen ein und stellen Fallstudien vor.

This social, cultural, and political history of Slavic Muslim women of the Yugoslav region in the first decades of the post-Ottoman era is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the issues confronting these women. It is based on a study of voluntary associations (philanthropic, cultural, Islamic-traditionalist, and feminist) of the period. It is broadly held that Muslim women were silent and relegated to a purely private space until 1945, when the communist state “unveiled” and “liberated” them from the top down. After systematic archival research in Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, and Austria, Fabio Giomi challenges this view by showing: How different sectors of the Yugoslav elite through association publications, imagined the role of Muslim women in post-Ottoman times, and how Muslim women took part in the construction or the contestation of these narratives. How associa­tions employed different means in order to forge a generation of “New Muslim Women” able to cope with the post-Ottoman political and social circumstances. And how Muslim women used the tools provided by the associations in order to pursue their own projects, aims and agendas. The insights are relevant for today’s challenges facing Muslim women in Europe. The text is illustrated with exceptional photographs.

La ville de Sion est dominée par deux collines qui marquent le paysage de leurs majestueuses silhouettes. Sur l’une d’elles se découpe le château de Tourbillon, sur l’autre, le site fortifié de Valère, un bourg capitulaire et ses maisons de chanoines, coiffé par son église édifiée dès le XIIe siècle. Si la plupart des bâtiments ne sont plus guère réparés dès le XVIIIe siècle, l’église, lieu de pèlerinage important, continue à être entretenue. À la fin du XIXe siècle, le site suscite une vaste campagne de restauration et un musée archéologique voit le jour en 1883. Le long chantier de restauration achevé en 2022 marque un pas important pour la connaissance historique, archéologique et artistique de Valère que ce livre restitue dans son ensemble. La publication met en lumière d’innombrables trésors emblématiques, tels les sculptures romanes, peintures médiévales et autels baroques ou le célèbre orgue.

"The Indonesian island of Sumatra is part of a chain of islands making up Sunda and the Malay Archipelago. Sumatra is one of the largest islands in the world, housing unique and globally important tropical rainforests, a diverse array of rare plants and magnificent animals, and a population of 60 million who speak a range of Austronesian languages. As beautifully exemplified in this volume, Sumatra is a place which preserves a distinct and long-term human history, studies of which began in earnest with Eugene Dubois's explorations in the 1880s to find our ancestral 'missing link’. Archaeological investigation of megaliths and historic empires carry on to this day. A range of topics are explored here, including palaeontological study of fossil mammals and their environments, the routes that Homo erectus took during their wanderings across Indonesia, and the growth and development of societies and empires in more recent periods. This exemplary volume presents a revised view of the history of palaeontological and archaeological research as well as new ground-breaking field research, laying the foundation for future research on the biological and cultural evolution of one of the most majestic islands of the world." ­— Professor Michael Petraglia, Director of the Australian Research Centre for Human Evolution, Griffith University

Welche Rolle spielt(e) das Utopische im Prozess der Europäischen Integration? Was bedeutet die Formulierung vom "utopischen Europa" in Zeiten der Wirtschafts- und Finanzkrise in der EU? Anhand der Analyse juristischer Grundlagentexte zeigt Marcus Koch, welche Position utopische Vorstellungen in der europäischen Einigung einnahmen und wie sie sich in der historischen Entwicklung verändert haben. Die Studie verdeutlicht einmal mehr, dass utopische Vorstellungen eine Triebfeder politischer Prozesse sind, und trägt zum Diskurs um die Attraktivität und Sinnhaftigkeit der derzeit viel gescholtenen Europäischen Union bei.

While many terms relate to One Health, the idea remains the same: to think outside a chosen area of specialty and work collaboratively as part of a team to improve health status around the world. This involves the collective effort of physicians, veterinarians, public health practitioners, ecologists, anthropologists, social workers, economists, and many others. Collectively, these are the Global One Health practitioners. Through the lens of infectious disease, this book brings together the diverse range of topics necessary to be an effective global health practitioner at the intersection of human and animal health, particularly in developing countries. It explores what an aspiring or mid-career practitioner should be aware of when working with infectious diseases, including technical skills, cultural competency, capacity building, big data, and understanding the landscape and history of global health. Each chapter focuses on a specific area of necessary knowledge with background information, case examples, and resources to use moving forward. An important reference for upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and early practitioners in human, animal, and public health, this text highlights the competencies rather than focusing on the problems in Global One Health. It provides a blueprint of areas that the reader should pay attention to, particularly in the realm of infectious diseases. Chapter 13 ‘One Health Education, Training, and Capacity Building’ is available to read Open Access at https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781032140674.

The existence of an MCP Realizer II SLM 250 equipment at the National Centre of Innovative Manufacturing from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (TUC-N) facilitated the starting of different research activities in this field at TUC-N with the aim of improving the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process capability for a better transfer of the technological gained knowledge to different partners from the industrial and medical fields. Reaching this goal has been also facilitated by the fact that in the period 2010–2013 at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, within a postdoctoral project financed by European Commission (E.U.), it was possible to activate with the program entitled “Research regarding the manufacturing of metallic parts by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology.” Part of the results obtained in this postdoctoral program are presented within this chapter of the book, being addressed not only to the engineers, PhD students, researchers, medical doctors, but also to anyone who might be interested about this Additive Manufacturing (AM) method and its possible applications in the industrial and medical fields.

To meet the pressing water needs in Algeria, the state has put in place a strategy consisting of the creation of hydraulic infrastructure for the mobilization of surface water resources. In fact, 74 dams are currently in operation; these structures are silting up at a rapid pace, generating an estimated annual loss of 45 million m3. Sidi Mhamed Benaouda dam located in the Oranian hill, with a water capacity of respectively 241 million m3 plays a crucial economic role in this region. The protection of this dam against erosive processes is a pressing economic goal. To do this, the RUSLE/GIS approach was used to map the erosive hazard. The results obtained in the Mina catchment, following a subdivision of 1315 homogeneous land parcels, show a total annual loss of 60 million tons/year with an average loss of 11.2 t/ha/year. About 50% of the catchment area was predicted to have very low to low erosion risk, with soil loss between 0 and 7.4 t/ha/year. Erosion risk is moderate over 13.9% of the catchment, where calculated soil loss is between 7.4 and 12 t/ha/year. Erosion risk is high to dangerous over 36.1% of the catchment, where calculated soil loss is more than 12 t/ha/year. According to this study, it appeared clearly that we must intervene quickly by using reliable and effective conservation techniques.

Als sich der Wettlauf um Nordwestpassage und Nordpol im frühen 20. Jahrhundert verschärfte, suchte die dänische Administration Grönlands nach Verbündeten. Als Zulieferer kolonialen Wissens rekrutierte sie Schweizer Naturforscher, die sich ihrerseits als nationale Polarhelden vermarkteten. An welche Auflagen waren die Forschungsreisenden aus der Schweiz in der Arktis gebunden? Wie kontrollierte die dänische Handelsgesellschaft den Kontakt der Außenseiter zur lokalen Bevölkerung, den Inuit? Wer finanzierte die Expeditionen? Lea Pfäffli erzählt eine transimperiale Geschichte arktischen Wissens und leuchtet dabei Kolonialreich und Nation neu aus. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
