By William P. Cassidy. 2019
“Women’s sports have typically been grossly under-represented in sports media coverage. Although elite lesbian athletes far outnumber ‘out’ male athletes,…
media scrutiny of their experiences remains largely non-existent. Largely situated in the context of improved cultural attitudes toward sexual minorities across the West, Bill Cassidy’s Sports Journalism and Women Athletes: Coverage of Coming Out Stories is, therefore, a valuable contribution to the study of sports journalism and media, offering – for the first time – a dedicated and detailed account of the coming out of some of sports’ most high-profile lesbian athletes.”- Dr. Rory Magrath, Solent University, UKThis book examines sports journalism coverage of the coming out stories of three prominent women athletes: tennis legend and feminist icon Billie Jean King, Basketball Hall of Fame Member Sheryl Swoopes and WNBA champion Brittney Griner. When King was outed in 1981 it marked a pivotal moment in which journalists were forced to discuss lesbian athletes in sports for the first time. Swoopes’ 2005 coming out was hailed as a historic moment due to her status as one of the best women’s basketball players of all time, while Griner’s casual public acknowledgment of her sexuality came during what many have called a more receptive environment for gay and lesbian athletes. By directly analysing and comparing the media attention given to these three superstars, Cassidy provides a comprehensive overview of how journalists have historically addressed women and lesbian athletes in professional sports. This book will appeal to readers interested in sports journalism, the role of sport in society, and media coverage of gay athletes.Mechanics of Biological Systems and Materials & Micro-and Nanomechanics, Volume 4 of the Proceedings of the 2019 SEM Annual Conference…

presents a variety of phenomena and experimental findings in the research field, and provides an introduction to the theory of self-organization, with a focus on amplitude equations, order parameter and Lotka-Volterra equations. The book demonstrates that relating the experimental findings to the mathematical models provides an explicit account for the causal nature of human perception and performance. In particular, the notion of determinism versus free will is discussed in this context. The book is divided into four main parts, the first of which discusses the relationship between the concept of determinism and the fundamental laws of physics. The second part provides an introduction to using the self-organization approach from physics to understand human perception and performance, a strategy used throughout the remainder of the book to connect experimental findings and mathematical models. In turn, the third part of the book focuses on investigating performance guided by perception: climbing stairs and grasping tools are presented in detail. Perceptually relevant bifurcation parameters in the mathematical models are also identified, e.g. in the context of walk-to-run gait transitions. Chains of perceptions and actions together with their underlying mechanisms are then presented, and a number of experimental phenomena – such as selective attention, priming, child play, bistable perception, retrieval-induced forgetting, functional fixedness and memory effects exhibiting hysteresis with positive or negative sign – are discussed. Human judgment making, internal experiences such as dreaming and thinking, and Freud’s concept of consciousness are also addressed. The fourth and last part of the book explores several specific topics such as learning, social interactions between two people, life trajectories, and applications in clinical psychology. In particular, episodes of mania and depression under bipolar disorder, perception under schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive rituals are discussed. This book is intended for researchers and graduate students in psychology, physics, applied mathematics, kinesiology, and the sport sciences who want to learn about the foundations of the field. Written for a mixed audience, the experiments and concepts are presented using non-technical language throughout. In addition, each chapter includes more advanced sections for modelers in the fields of physics and applied mathematics.Se trata de un libro que explica todas las ventajas que una mujer puede obtener entrenando de una forma inteligente…

Intelligence results from the interaction of the brain, body and environment. The question addressed in this book is, can we…
measure the contribution of the body and its' interaction with the environment? To answer this, we first present a comprehensive overview of the various ways in which a body reduces the amount of computation that the brain has to perform to solve a task. This chapter will broaden your understanding of how important inconspicuously appearing physical processes and physical properties of the body are with respect to our cognitive abilities. This form of contribution to intelligence is called Morphological Intelligence. The main contribution of this book to the field is a detailed discussion of how Morphological Intelligence can be measured from observations alone. The required mathematical framework is provided so that readers unfamiliar with information theory will be able to understand and apply the measures. Case studies from biomechanics and soft robotics illustrate how the presented quantifications can, for example, be used to measure the contribution of muscle physics to jumping and optimise the shape of a soft robotic hand. To summarise, this monograph presents various examples of how the physical properties of the body and the body’s interaction with the environment contribute to intelligence. Furthermore, it treats theoretical and practical aspects of Morphological Intelligence and demonstrates the value in two case studies.This book demonstrates that the European Union (EU) can curtail the autonomy of FIFA and UEFA by building upon insights…

scorta alimentare di riserva – quella che i survivalisti chiamerebbero “scorta di sopravvivenza” – è essenziale se si vuole vivere abbastanza a lungo da assistere alle conseguenze della sciagura. Cosa sono gli alimenti indispensabili a breve scadenza? Esistono alimenti indispensabili a lunga scadenza e alimenti indispensabili a breve scadenza. I primi sono quelli che hanno una lunga durata di conservazione e che forniscono nutrimento per un periodo indefinito. Sono quei prodotti che si piazzano su una mensola e lì rimangono per molto tempo. Gli alimenti commercializzati come indispensabili a lunga scadenza solitamente si trovano in grandi lattine o confezioni e magari non hanno neppure l’aspetto di ciò che si mangia regolarmente. Al contrario, gli alimenti indispensabili a breve scadenza non durano quanto i primi ma comunque forniranno il sostentamento necessario per superare la peggiore delle catastrofi. Tra questi vi sono alimenti che solitamente si mangiano e potrebbero addirittura essere il vostro cibo preferito; ad esempio alimenti non necessariamente di lunga conservazione o particolarmente nutrienti ma ugualmente importanti perché a voi e la vostra famiglia piace mangiarli.

essencial ter uma reserva alimentar de emergência – ou aquilo que os sobrevivencialistas apodam de despensa de sobrevivência ou em caso de catástrofe – caso queira sobreviver a uma catástrofe e às suas sequelas. O que são alimentos de validade curta? Existem alimentos de validade longa e existem alimentos de validade curta. Os alimentos de emergência com validade longa são aqueles que têm um tempo de prateleira longo e o podem alimentar por um período de tempo indefinido. São aqueles produtos que podem ficar na prateleira sem se estragar durante muito tempo. Os alimentos comercializados como sendo de emergência a longo prazo normalmente são vendidos em recipientes grandes ou em lotes e podem não se assemelhar à comida que está habituado a comer regularmente. Os alimentos de curta validade, por sua vez, não duram tanto tempo mas ainda o podem manter nutrido enquanto se debate com a parte pior da catástrofe. Estes podem incluir artigos alimentares que come normalmente e/ou alguns dos seus alimentos favoritos, i.e. artigos alimentares que não são necessariamente duradouros ou particularmente nutritivos mas que são importantes porque você e a sua família gostam de os comer.

pluralist introduction to the philosophical aesthetics of sport. The book tackles a wide variety of issues in the philosophical aesthetics of sport, proposing a five-level analysis that coordinates extant scholarship on the same conceptual map, reveals gaps in the literature, and motivates a fresh perspective on stubborn debates and novel topics in the field (for example, the aesthetic experience of athletes, aesthetic biases in sport, the paradox of sport fiction, and whether dance can be sport). This is an excellent resource for professors and students in the philosophy of sport, sport aesthetics, general aesthetics, and the philosophy of art. It is also a fascinating read for those working in kinesiology, sport studies, philosophy, art, and aesthetics.50 Classic Routes on Scottish Mountains
