Language, Literacy and Diversity

Autor: Christopher Stroud , Mastin Prinsloo

Número de Páginas: 252

Language, Literacy and Diversity brings together researchers who are leading the innovative and important re-theorization of language and literacy in relation to social mobility, multilingualism and globalization. The volume examines local and global flows of people, language and literacy in relation to social practice; the role (and nature) of boundary maintenance or disruption in global, transnational and translocal contexts; and the lived experiences of individuals on the front lines of global, transnational and translocal processes. The contributors pay attention to the dynamics of multilingualism in located settings and the social and personal management of multilingualism in socially stratified and ethnically plural social settings. Together, they offer ground-breaking research on language practices and documentary practices as regards to access, selection, social mobility and gate-keeping processes in a range of settings across several continents: Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe.

Celama (un recuento)

Autor: Luis Mateo Díez

Número de Páginas: 339

EL REGRESO A LA MÍTICA CELAMA DE LUIS MATEO DÍEZ PREMIO CERVANTES 2023 PREMIO NACIONAL DE LAS LETRAS «No existe en este momento en la literatura española, ni entre los veteranos ni entre los más jóvenes, un escritor con tanta capacidad para inventar personajes como Luis Mateo Díez.» José María Merino «La tierra que llaman Celama nos hizo hijos del mismo destino en una noche de invierno.» Este libro se compone de treinta y ocho historias que transcurren en el territorio imaginario de Celama. La mayoría forman parte de la trilogía compuesta por las novelas El espíritu del páramo, La ruina del cielo y El oscurecer, y otras son inéditas. Todas ellas se revisten ahora de un nuevo fulgor al aparecer reordenadas por la afinidad de lo que cuentan. Celama es una metáfora, tan hermosa como compleja, de la desaparición de las culturas rurales y conduce a lo más hondo y misterioso del corazón humano. Las historias nos ofrecen un cómputo de vidas apasionadas, melancólicas, exuberantes, cotidianas o secretas: un reflejo universal de las condiciones adversas de la vida, al que no falta la lucidez que añade el humor. Los cuentos de Celama han sido revisados (recontados)...

Transglutaminases

Autor: Kiyotaka Hitomi , Soichi Kojima , Laszlo Fesus

Número de Páginas: 392

This book presents basic and extensive information on the physiological and pathological significance of the protein-modifying enzymes, transglutaminases, which are involved in multiple biological events by catalyzing a unique and important posttranslational modification reaction, cross-linking of proteins, and interacting with a large number of proteins inside and outside of cells. Although several of their essential physiological roles have been revealed, many unknown and so far not fully understood functions have remained. In humans, there are eight active isozymes having distinct tissue and subcellular distribution patterns with different substrates and physiological roles. Accordingly, aberrant regulation of the enzyme reactions or expression may lead to or has been implicated in various pathologies including neurodegeneration, fibrosis, cancer, inflammation, celiac disease, and hemostasis disorders.To provide those who are new to the field with basic knowledge and recent information on transglutaminase structures and reactions, the mechanism by which transglutaminases modify substrate proteins and their contributions to multiple biological phenomena as well as disease...

Historias de Vigàta vol. 1

Autor: Andrea Camilleri

Número de Páginas: 244

Primero de un ciclo de cuatro volúmenes de relatos ambientados en el imaginario pueblo siciliano de Vigàta, también escenario de las aventuras del célebre comisario Montalbano, este libro recoge ocho historias tan perfectas que cada una puede leerse como una pequeña novela. En ellas, Andrea Camilleri vuelve a sus orígenes y despliega toda la complejidad del esperpéntico y variopinto inventario humano que encierra una Sicilia imaginada pero, al mismo tiempo, espejo del mundo y de sus miserias: adivinos improvisados, campesinos y estudiantes, curas, caciques y camisas negras, comunistas empedernidos, jóvenes buscavidas, abogados astutos... Desde los inicios del siglo XX hasta la posguerra, pasando por el Ventennio fascista y el desembarco de las tropas aliadas en la isla, el lector acompaña a los personajes en este recorrido a través del tiempo y de la naturaleza humana, que Camilleri observa con cáustica mordacidad no exenta de guasa, pero siempre desde esa perspectiva compasiva y benévola tan propia de su narrativa. En ese utópico lugar de la memoria que es Vigàta, el autor italiano urde con magistral habilidad historias que mezclan lo verdadero con lo verosímil, el ...

Une petite ville du Nord, une famille de pâtissiers qui détient une précieuse recette... Et l'histoire bouleversante d'une adolescente en quête de sa mère. Jean Baltoret et sa femme Valérie sont les créateurs du doré, cette pâtisserie qui a fait leur fortune. Grands-parents d'Anaïs, ils se sont chargés de son éducation à la disparition de leur fille, Marie. Alors qu'elle était une enfant facile et raisonnable, l'adolescence et ses tourments font perdre pied à la jeune femme en devenir : ses études ne l'intéressent plus, ses fréquentations sont peu recommandables... Les Baltoret s'inquiètent : qu'est-ce qui peut lui faire tourner ainsi la tête ? Il semblerait qu'elle ait eu des nouvelles de sa mère et que, profitant de sa fragilité, des personnes malintentionnées lui soutirent de l'argent... Tandis que l'adolescente se débat entre premières amours et désir de vérité, Jean est aux prises avec un chantage industriel qui vise à lui extorquer sa recette. Malmené par ces deux intrigues, l'amour qui unit le clan Baltoret sera-t-il préservé ?

Indians into Mexicans

Autor: David Frye

Número de Páginas: 258

The people of Mexquitic, a town in the state of San Luis Potosí in rural northeastern Mexico, have redefined their sense of identity from "Indian" to "Mexican" over the last two centuries. In this ethnographic and historical study of Mexquitic, David Frye explores why and how this transformation occurred, thereby increasing our understanding of the cultural creation of "Indianness" throughout the Americas. Frye focuses on the local embodiments of national and regional processes that have transformed rural "Indians" into modern "Mexicans": parish priests, who always arrive with personal agendas in addition to their common ideological baggage; local haciendas; and local and regional representatives of royal and later of national power and control. He looks especially at the people of Mexquitic themselves, letting their own words describe the struggles they have endured while constructing their particular corner of Mexican national identity. This ethnography, the first for any town in northeastern Mexico, adds substantially to our knowledge of the forces that have rendered "Indians" almost invisible to European-origin peoples from the fifteenth century up to today. It will be...

Generalized Method of Moments

Autor: Alastair R. Hall

Número de Páginas: 413

Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) has become one of the main statistical tools for the analysis of economic and financial data. This book is the first to provide an intuitive introduction to the method combined with a unified treatment of GMM statistical theory and a survey of recentimportant developments in the field. Providing a comprehensive treatment of GMM estimation and inference, it is designed as a resource for both the theory and practice of GMM: it discusses and proves formally all the main statistical results, and illustrates all inference techniques using empiricalexamples in macroeconomics and finance.Building from the instrumental variables estimator in static linear models, it presents the asymptotic statistical theory of GMM in nonlinear dynamic models. Within this framework it covers classical results on estimation and inference techniques, such as the overidentifying restrictions test andtests of structural stability, and reviews the finite sample performance of these inference methods. And it discusses in detail recent developments on covariance matrix estimation, the impact of model misspecification, moment selection, the use of the bootstrap, and weak...

America's Entangling Alliances

Autor: Jason W. Davidson

Número de Páginas: 300

America’s Entangling Alliances challenges the belief that the US resists international alliances. By documenting thirty-four alliances—categorized as defense pacts, military coalitions, or security partnerships—Davidson finds that the US demand for allies is best explained by looking at variance in its relative power and the threats it has faced.

Número de Páginas: 229

The 2002 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Sydney Brenner, H. Robert Horvitz, and John E. Sulston for their seminal discoveries concerning "genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death." This clearly marked the prime importance of understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling cell death. The 1 st International Symposium on Programmed Cell Death was held in the Shanghai Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on September 8-12, 1996. A number of key issues in apoptosis were discussed at the meeting, and progress in major areas of apopto sis research was summarized by expert participants at the meeting and published by Plenum Publishing Corporation as a book entitled Programmed Cell Death. In the last six years, we have witnessed a real explosion in our knowledge on how cells undergo apoptosis, thereby participating in various developmental and pathophysiological processes. At this ever exciting time, we organized the 2nd International Symposium on Programmed Cell Death.

The Hippo Signaling Pathway and Cancer

Autor: Moshe Oren , Yael Aylon

Número de Páginas: 345

The Hippo signaling pathway is rapidly gaining recognition as an important player in organ size control and tumorigenesis, and many leading scientists are showing increased interest in this growing field and it's relation to cancer. The chapters in this volume cover virtually all aspects of tumor biology, because members of the Hippo Pathway have been associated with numerous well-established cell signaling pathways, just to name a few; Ras, Wnt, TGFbeta and p53. Moreover, Hippo signaling is not solely involved in regulating “classic” tumor characteristics such as cell proliferation, survival and growth, but is also diversely involved in cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous differentiation, migration and organ size control. The primary audience are researchers interested in basic science in the areas of tumor suppression, cell cycle and size regulation, development and differentiation.

Outlaw

Autor: Ted Dekker

Número de Páginas: 323

New York Timesbestselling author Ted Dekker brings an exotic tale of adventure and creates his most memorable character ever. The story of how I, Julian Carter, and my precious two-year old son, Stephen, left Atlanta Georgia and found ourselves on a white sailboat, tossed about like a cork on a raging sea off of Australia's northern tip in 1963, is harrowing. But it pales in comparison to what happened deep in the jungle where I was taken as a slave by a savage tribe unknown to the world. Some places dwell in darkness so deep that even God seems to stay away. There, my mind was torn in two by the gods of the earth. There, one life ended so another could begin. Some will say I was a fool for making the choices I made. But they would have done the same. They, too, would have embraced death if they knew what I knew, and saw through my eyes. My name is Julian and this is my story. But more, it is the story of my son who was born to change the world. From deep in the impenetrable jungles where New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker was born and raised, comes OUTLAW, an epic adventure of two worlds that perhaps only he could write. Full of harrowing twists, sweeping violence, and...
