Alexander Grothendieck is often considered one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century (if not all time), and his…

unique vision continues to impact and inspire many fields and researchers today. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, this edited volume explores the profound influence his work and ideas have had not only on mathematics, but also on logic and philosophy. Chapters are written by international scholars, and many were inspired by talks given at the conference “Grothendieck, A Multifarious Giant” at Chapman University (May 24-28, 2022). Some chapters are written from a historical perspective and discuss the development of the main themes that characterized Grothendieck's work. Others are more mathematical in nature, analyzing and extending some of his more relevant and obscure results that are still not well understood. Philosophical implications and applications in logic are the subjects of other chapters. This volume will be of interest not only to mathematicians working in algebraic geometry, category theory, and other areas to which Grothendieck contributed, but also to philosophers, logicians, and historians of science.

This book tracks dramaturgical affinities between some of Bernard Shaw&’s late &“extravagant&” plays and those of Noël Coward, in particular…

their recasting of one another&’s style and the tradition of manners comedy. While Coward&’s first play (The Young Idea) all but plagiarizes You Never Can Tell and Shaw responds with his own depictions of the idle rich, their experimental plays in the 1930s also ambitiously engage issues of race and Empire, topics further outside their respective idioms. &“Christopher Wixson mines Shaw&’s rarely-explored engagement with the work of Noël Coward, examining both writers' highly experimental plays from the 1930s in light of such important issues as postwar disillusionment, racial difference, and post-coloniality.&” Michel Pharand, Queen's University

Soziale Ungleichheiten sind ein brisantes Thema. Wissenschaftliche Sozialstrukturanalysen zielen darauf, Erklärungen für die Entstehung und Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheiten zu geben.…

In dieser Einführung werden zentrale Konzepte der Analyse  sozialer Ungleichheiten, wichtige Forschungsrichtungen und die damit verbundenen theoretischen Perspektiven erläutert. So geht es um sozioökonomische und soziokulturelle Ansätze, aber auch um die systematische Einbeziehung einer intersektionalen und transnationalen Perspektive. Die einzelnen Ansätze werden immer auch in ihren sozialgeschichtlichen Kontext gestellt. Sie werden als „Modelle&“ mit je unterschiedlichen Erkenntnispotentialen begriffen – so wird das über einen langen Zeitraum kumulierte sozialwissenschaftliche Wissen zum Verständnis von Sozialstrukturen für heutige Studierende zugänglich. Mit der Skizzierung der methodischen Zugänge zur Untersuchung sozialer Strukturen werden die Potentiale quantitativer und qualitativer Forschungsdesigns aufgezeigt. Schließlich werden am deutschen Beispiel wichtige empirische Befunde dargelegt, um die soziale Verfasstheit der Gegenwartsgesellschaft zu erschließen. Die Einführung richtet sich an Studierende, die sich in den Sozialwissenschaften und  benachbarten Disziplinen mit der Analyse der sozialen Welt befassen. Darüber hinaus wendet sie sich auch an jene, die in ihrem beruflichen Leben oder als politisch Interessierte  mit den sozialen Problemen und Ungleichheiten dieser Welt konfrontiert sind.

25 years,between 1987 and 2013. He wondered about the US decisive role in empowering China,This book is the result of his review.         The book starts with an in-depth analysis of China´s exponential economic development since 1978, adding a reflection on economic power as the crucial underpinning of military and geopolitical might.         It underlines that when Nixon first visited China, in February 1972, he and Kissinger already understood that China would become a great power in a few decades and the ensuing risk "to be confronted, if our relations turn sour, with the most formidable enemy that has ever existed". The anticipated risk was taken to achieve short term benefits. Assessing the wisdom of this decision is the thrust of the book. Eight reasons are listed which might have given Nixon and Kissinger second thoughts when they decided to engage China.         The contributions of the different US Presidents to the engagement and later containment of China are analyzed. A chapter is devoted to "Unfulfilled prophecies": China and democracy, and the elusive collapse of the Chinese economy.         A European epilogue deals with the triangular relationship Europe - US - China. Will Europe be able to reach  political union, engineering a renaissance from the ashes of 1945 and becoming again a great power? It is the existential question: to be or not to be. “The book also features a foreword by Javier Solana, former Secretary General of NATO and High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union.”

as a textbook for Ph.D. students examining applications of modern mathematics to important issues emerging nowadays more and more often in advanced electrical and electronic systems. The book offers effective tools to facilitate the study of all those circuits and systems increasingly penetrating our world, helping to discover their hidden beauty. The material is presented in twelve chapters divided into sections. Usually, first sections are of an introductory nature, explain studied phenomena and announce numerical results. More advanced investigations are presented in subsequent sections. The center of concern is set on existing modern methods as well as continuously emerging new methods of investigations useful for researchers, engineers and practitioners active in many interdisciplinary fields, where physics, electrochemistry, and electric circuits play a key role. Coverage includes: • Principles of optimal operations of electrical circuits; • The equilibrium state of the circuit as a stationary point of its power functional; • The Gibbs effect and its consequences for circuit analysis; • Accurate calculation of complex dynamic circuits operating in non-sinusoidal periodic states; • Energy hysteresis loops in non-sinusoidal periodic states of circuits; • Optimal transformations of elements in three-phase circuits; • Analog and digital filters; • Fractals and their structures and measures; • Fibonacci, Sierpiński and Cantor circuits; • Chaos in electrical circuits; •Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; •Circuits with nanostructures and their properties; •Circuits of fractional orders; •AI in electrical circuits. This is the first extensive description of these topics and the interpretations of analytical results and those obtained from computer simulations with MATLAB environments. Special attention is paid to nonlinear electric circuits and finally the presentation is extended to effective applications of the achievements of modern AI. Numerous examples and exercises illustrate main results of the book. The book provides readers with a better understanding of origins and properties of many new circuit structures made possible by nanotechnology and atomic microscopy.

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of inclusive, sustainable development, emphasizing the critical need to integrate the perspectives and needs…

of people with disabilities and marginalized communities into the global sustainability transition to a sustainable future. Through highlighting the intersectionality of identity and the unique challenges faced by these groups, the book addresses a pressing issue: the often-overlooked barriers that hinder their full participation in sustainable transitions. Organized into three parts, the book first contextualizes the relationship between sustainability and inclusion. It delves into the historical and theoretical frameworks that shape our understanding of marginalization, exploring how disability intersects with various social identities. This foundation sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the ways in which they can be made more inclusive, ensuring that no one is left behind. The second part identifies and examines the myriad barriers to inclusion within sustainable practices. It addresses structural, socioeconomic, and cultural obstacles that perpetuate exclusion while also critiquing existing policy frameworks for their limitations in addressing the needs of marginalized populations. Through case studies, the book highlights successful initiatives and innovative practices that promote accessibility and equity, mainly through the use of assistive technologies and community engagement. In the final section, the book outlines actionable strategies for fostering inclusive, sustainable development. It emphasizes the importance of community engagement, participatory decision-making, and the empowerment of marginalized voices. Additionally, it discusses metrics for monitoring and evaluating the impact of sustainability initiatives on people with disabilities, providing a framework for accountability and continuous improvement. This book aims to bridge the gap between sustainability and social justice, offering a roadmap for stakeholders, policymakers, and practitioners committed to creating a more inclusive world.  This book targets academics, policymakers, non-profit societies, and activists working at the intersection of sustainability and social equity and serves as a vital resource for those seeking to understand and promote inclusive practices in the global sustainable transition.

identities, the book offers a fresh perspective that bridges the gap between urban and rural queer communities. While on one hand, it elucidates the various ways in which people living in the Indian villages deal with the queer subjects and subjectivities, on the other hand, it explores the ways in which the process of growing up in the countryside makes its impact on its village queers. Drawing from personal experiences, ethnographic research, and cultural representations, this multidisciplinary book explores the intersection of gender, sexuality, and rural landscapes. It delves into the historical and cultural forces that influence the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, and transgender individuals in provincial India. The collaborative effort by activists and scholars across fields such as literary studies, gender studies, political science, and more provides a rich analysis of the rural queer experience. It challenges the urban-centric narrative and contributes significantly to gender and sexuality studies, sociology, cultural studies, and subaltern studies.

Vaccination is considered one of humanity&’s most transformative medical breakthroughs, with its origins tracing back to Edward Jenner&’s groundbreaking smallpox…

vaccine in the late 18th century. Though early skepticism of vaccines was formidable, rigorous scientific investigation and countless documented successes established vaccination as a cornerstone of modern medicine. For generations, vaccination was considered one of the surest ways to prevent death and suffering from infectious diseases, fundamentally reshaping global public health outcomes. However, advances in social networking and the influence of an anti-vaccination movement have reignited vaccine hesitancy on a scale not seen since the pre-modern era. Empowering healthcare providers with the skills to engage in meaningful dialogue with patients and the community about vaccines is paramount to addressing vaccine hesitancy and rebuilding public trust in vaccination programs.   This comprehensive book first lays a foundation for understanding vaccine hesitancy by exploring the historical sources of mistrust in vaccines and science. Subsequent chapters highlight evidence-based approaches to cultivate communication skills and foster meaningful dialogue in patient interactions, while emphasizing empathetic practice and self-reflection in health professions trainees. Beyond theoretical foundations, it provides practical tools and strategies for addressing the most challenging aspects of vaccine communication. When these communication principles are thoughtfully applied in clinical settings, they become powerful tools for combating misinformation, dismantling deeply held misconceptions, and nurturing patient trust.

toepassing in de klinische praktijk en de reflectie hierop.   Het Praktijkboek persoonlijkeidsdiagnostiek brengt vormen van persoonlijkheidsdiagnostiek in beeld vanuit verschillende theoretische referentiekaders en diverse methoden van onderzoek: een multiconceptueel en multimethodisch perspectief. Centraal staat hierbij steeds het gebruik van specifieke methoden of diagnostische instrumenten in de klinische praktijk, ten behoeve van indicatiestelling voor behandeling inclusief de wijze van verslaglegging. Op basis van fundamentele uitgangspunten voor psychodiagnostiek, als essentieel onderdeel van het diagnostische proces, komen telkens veel gebruikte benaderingswijzen van persoonlijkheidsdiagnostiek en diagnostische instrumenten aan de orde. Bovendien wordt uitvoerig stilgestaan bij de differentiaaldiagnostiek met specifieke psychische stoornissen, waarbij ook aandacht is voor overstijgende transdiagnostische factoren. Ten slotte wordt er ingegaan op persoonlijkheidsdiagnostiek bij specifieke doelgroepen en contexten, zoals adolescenten, ouderen, mensen met een licht verstandelijke beperking, en het forensische kader. Ook cultuursensitieve persoonlijkheidsdiagnostiek komt aan de orde. Het boek heeft een praktijkgerichte opbouw, elk hoofdstuk is gericht op de klinische toepassing, met steeds een praktijkcasus als voorbeeld, inclusief een voorstel voor de verslaglegging. Elk hoofdstuk sluit af met een kritische beschouwing over de sterke kanten en de beperkingen van de gekozen invalshoek.   De vele voorbeelden in dit praktijkboek zijn bedoeld als bron van inspiratie voor psychologen, gz-psychologen, psychotherapeuten, klinisch psychologen, psychiaters die uitvoer geven aan persoonlijkheidsdiagnostiek in de klinische praktijk.
