Dedicated to the medina in the Mediterranean space, this book is essentially based on detailed historical and photographic research into the characteristics of city design and its evolution, as well as some case studies from direct experience. The main objective of the present study consists of its documentary and evocative value, without forgetting the analysis of the multiple architectural spaces with monumental complexes of extraordinary cultural importance arranged according to precise hierarchies and specific uses. The research summarises the different experiences from this immense Arab-Muslim architectural heritage and its urban evolution. These aspects are expressed both by the large number of case studies (from Cordoba to Palermo, passing through Fez, Séfrou, Marrakech and Tunis) as well as by the quality of the built spaces as a whole. The several contributions show an urban framework that is still legible and significant, consisting of grids of houses with forms, structures and functions that show a concentration of spaces, places and monuments stratified over time and developed in the Mediterranean countries, producing extremely diverse situations.

Re-situating Andean colonial history from the perspective of the local historians of ayllu Qaqachaka, in highland Bolivia, this book draws on regional oral history combined with local and public written archives. Rejecting the binary models in vogue in colonial and postcolonial studies (indigenous/non-indigenous, Andean/Western, conquered/conquering), it explores the complex intercalation of legal pluralism and local history in the negotiations around Spanish demands, resulting in the so-called "Andean pact." The Qaqachaka's point of reference is the preceding Inka occupation, so in fulfilling Spanish demands they seek cultural continuity with this recent past. Spanish colonial administration, applies its roots in Roman-Germanic and Islamic law to many practices in the newly-conquered territories. Two major cycles of ayllu tales trace local responses to these colonial demands, in the practices for establishing settlements, and the feeding and dressing of the Catholic saints inside the new church, with their forebears in the Inka mummies.

Анотація:
This chapter analyses the legal qualification of complex conflict situations that feature more than two conflict parties. It examines whether such situations qualify as a single internationalized armed conflict or a number of independent international and non-international armed conflicts. With this in mind, this chapter puts forward a model based on the retention of autonomy of the allied conflict parties. It argues that once the autonomy is foregone and replaced with a single use of force by the parties, the law of international armed conflict applies ‘globally’ to the situation at hand. However, until that moment, the situation should be seen as ‘mixed’; in other words, as a set of mutually independent conflict pairs.

This chapter highlights common situations in perinatal counseling, including challenging circumstances, complex situations, and ethical dilemmas. It discusses conflicts that may arise from pregnancy termination; the complexities surrounding the identification of incidental findings such as misattributed paternity, discovery of consanguinity, or discovery of an incidental condition; and issues surrounding privacy and confidentiality, including familial implications of genetic knowledge. Also discussed are difficult circumstances such as couples in conflict or nonparticipation of a male partner and dealing with uncertainty in various situations including fetal diagnosis and prognosis, family history, complex conditions, and variants of uncertain significance. Conflicts around fetal sex determination and the disclosure of adult-onset conditions are discussed, as is the situation when a patient asks for provider guidance in making a decision. Barriers to the consenting process are discussed, as are the complexities of practicing in a field of rapidly evolving technologies.

In anesthesia, situation awareness (SA) represents the degree to which an anesthetist perceives the information in her or his environment, comprehends the patient’s situation, and projects the patient’s situation into the future. There are three levels of SA: perception, comprehension, and projection. After perception, basic information has to be integrated, and several cognitive mechanisms enable correct, complete, and quick development of SA. These processes require long-term memory content such as mental models, similar (prototypical) situations that have been experienced earlier, automaticity, and medical knowledge including guidelines and algorithms. Several tools have the potential to provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of SA in anesthesia, including goal-directed task analysis (GDTA) and SA error taxonomy. In this chapter, the role of SA in anesthesia is illustrated, and factors are described that have the potential for either enhancing or hindering the development of adequate SA.

Stridor is a common pediatric and neonatal sign that can sometimes be associated with life-altering or even life-threatening consequences. In the neonatal population, it is often due to use of an endotracheal tube that is too small, laryngomalacia, and subglottic stenosis. Patients often present with co-existing neonatal comorbidities such as patent ductus arteriosus and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Management of these patients is often complex, requiring exquisite teamwork by otolaryngology surgeons and pediatric anesthesiologists. This chapter reviews the pathophysiology of neonatal stridor as well as its presentation. It describes the surgical approach and challenges to anesthetic management. Crisis situations including code situationse, neonatal resuscitation, and tracheostomy are reviewed.

Environmental public health scientists and health protection practitioners are constantly challenged to respond to new or poorly understood hazards. Practitioners might also be required to address well-characterized hazards that have either increased in magnitude or re-emerged in different situations. Developing technological advances and new and emerging industrial processes (such as fracking, nanotechnology, shale gas, waste fires) can raise difficult questions for the public health practitioner, especially where research and health-related evidence is lacking. In these cases, public health science has a key role in undertaking and communicating risks and in providing the most accurate available scientific evidence and public health advice. The field of environmental public health is crowded with complex problems demanding our attention. It is impossible to devote sufficient clinical, research, and advocacy energies to all of these problems at once. Clinicians, public health professionals, and environmental public health scientists have to choose which health issues take priority.

Анотація:
La question de l'enseignement de l’oral préoccupe à la fois les enseignants et les apprenants. Dans un contexte d’apprentissage non naturel, les compétences liées aux activités de compréhension et de production orales sont complexes et difficiles à travailler d’une manière efficace. Les habiletés liées aux activités de l’oral, comme par exemple la compréhension, la production, l’interaction et la médiation, exigent de l’apprenant le développement d'aptitudes perceptives auditives, sémantiques, linguistiques, cognitives et phonétiques. Par ailleurs, les processus des activités de l’oral sont intangibles et peu maniables, ce qui rend l’apprentissage encore plus ardu. Qui plus est, l’enseignement institutionnel impose une évaluation, souvent sommative avec un système de notation. À cause de diverses contraintes, dans la plupart des classes de langues étrangères, la performance de l'oral est en général contrôlée par un test, qui très souvent ne permet pas de faire un diagnostic clair informant sur l'état de la progression de l'apprenant. Nous nous interrogeons ici sur les processus de compréhension et de production de l’oral. Nous sommes intéressés à répondre à plusieurs questions : Que se passe-t-il lorsqu’un apprenant essaie de communiquer oralement avec un locuteur natif ? Comment les informations sont-elles organisées pour formuler des énoncés ? Comment organiser des activités pour travailler l’oral et quelles en sont les conditions ? De quelles façons l’oral peut-il être évalué ? Quels sont les critères à privilégier, pour quels oraux et dans quelles situations ? Composé de 14 articles, cet ouvrage est le fruit de plusieurs journées d’étude internationales consacrées à l’enseignement/apprentissage de l’oral, organisées entre 2013 et 2017 par l’équipe de recherches Plidam de l’Inalco à Paris.

Traumatic events, including sexual abuse, experiencing or witnessing violence, and natural disasters, are common among adolescents, and this online therapist guide presents a proven treatment for PTSD that has been adapted for the adolescent population. It applies the principles of Prolonged Exposure (PE) to help adolescents emotionally process their traumatic experiences and follows a four-phase treatment where the patients complete each module at their own rate of progress. It includes modules on motivational interviewing, case management, the rationale for treatment, information-gathering about the trauma, common reactions to trauma, and explains that by systematically confronting situations associated with the trauma, adolescents can overcome avoidance and fear. It covers how memory of the traumatic event can help distinguish the past from the present and promote feelings of mastery, and also includes modules on relapse prevention and treatment termination. It covers the importance of the adolescent's age and developmental level while in therapy, and includes developmentally appropriate materials and guidance on tailoring the treatment to each client's unique situation, including trauma type and family structure.

Case study is an important pedagogical tool not only to facilitate classroom teaching, but is also a research tool used widely in academia and industry. Every workplace situation calls for decision making and managerial skill. While some situations are more complex and far-reaching than the others, all decisions are equally important for the businesses in the overall landscape. On one hand, strategic decisions call for sharp business acumen and experience; on the other hand, operational decisions call for tact and eye for detail. Businesses employ unique solutions to solve their problem which is often recorded as a case study. These case studies are an effective tool to enhance learning. It stimulates the students to integrate classroom-learning with application orientation to solve real live problems. The growth in case writers coupled with availability of good cases has made industry and academia to embrace case methods. An initiative to support and encourage build indigenous case studies, this book is a compilation of the cases presented at the Management Case Conference organised by PSG Institute of Management in 2021

Dialectical thinking refers to the (primarily East Asian) tendency to tolerate contradiction, expect change, and perceive interconnections. Drawing upon a process-oriented approach to coping, in this chapter, two pathways through which dialectical thinking may influence East Asians’ ways of coping are proposed. First, dialectical (and holistic) thinking may enable East Asians to attribute events to both situational and dispositional factors. This breadth in attribution may lead to the perception of less personal control, as well as a weaker association between perceived personal control and coping outcomes among East Asians than among Westerners. In addition, dialectical thinking may facilitate complex cognitive processes such as differentiation and integration, and a reduced need for closure. In turn, this facilitates flexibility in appraising the controllability of stressful events and deployment of situation-appropriate coping responses (i.e., coping flexibility). Areas for future research are also discussed in the chapter.

Cardiac Anesthesia: A Problem-Based Learning Approach provides a comprehensive review of the dynamic and ever-changing field of cardiac anesthesia. Its problem-based format incorporates a vast pool of practical case-related questions as well as multiple choice questions at the end of the chapter. Each chapter starts with a case description, usually a compilation of several actual cases; it then branches out, through case-based questions, to increasingly complex situations. This structure is designed to create an authentic experience that mirrors working through the nuances of a complicated clinical scenario. The discussion sections that follow in each chapter offer a comprehensive approach to the chapter's subject matter, thus creating a modern, complete, and up-to-date medical review of that topic.

In order to evaluate risk factors and preventive behaviors in cancer, one must consider the complex and interwoven mechanisms that lead to the development of cancer. By understanding such mechanisms, an epidemiologist should be able to integrate biological plausibility into his or her research. An understanding of cancer biology is desirable because the natural history of cancer should be accounted for in epidemiologic research and often dictates conceptual and statistical approaches in different situations—for example, in studying factors that initiate rather than promote carcinogenesis. Even a basic understanding of carcinogenic mechanisms is helpful in assessing the plausibility of epidemiologic associations. The intent of this chapter is to convey basic molecular and cellular concepts essential to understanding cancer biology; it is not intended to give a complete overview of cancer biology.

This chapter first illustrates a classic letter of intent situation through the case of Texaco Inc v Pennzoil, involving the selling price of Getty oil stock. One party did not want to enter into a binding legal relationship but did not want to say so in clear terms. The case emphasizes in clear terms the dangers posed by the resultant ambiguities. The chapter then considers some possible solutions. It discusses possible ways of delaying legal effect of letters of intent; letters of intent and partially completed negotiations; agreements to negotiate in good faith; refusal to negotiate; and issuance of a letter of intent where the issuer wants work to start but is not yet ready to enter into a complete contract.

Librarians who want to begin, expand, or improve their programs on teaching social media to adults and teens will find this guide invaluable. Sharing social media expertise with library clientele is a natural way for libraries to support their communities—and increase their relevance. This book provides a roadmap for librarians who wish to offer this service but need to brush up on their own social media skills or learn how to cover the topics in a classroom situation. Although there are many books on social media, this volume is unique because it presents complete teaching scripts that can be adapted for various classroom situations along with general guidelines and tips. You'll find general advice on social media as well as suggestions for getting support for the program, creating a syllabus tailored to community needs, and planning class format and logistics. Entire chapters cover Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Pinterest, Yelp, and Google+, explaining how these sites work and how to use them to your advantage, as well as some of the privacy and safety concerns surrounding them and how they are trending. Class variations such as Twitter for Business and How to Plan Your Trip Online are also discussed, as are other classes to consider—for example, Tumblr and Instagram—and how to develop them.

By 1914, the scene was set for antisemitism on a large scale throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Racial antisemitism and ethno-nationalism had prevented a full integration of Jews into society. ‘Concatenations’ looks at the effect of antisemitism in all its variant forms on the Jewish situation within European society. Central European Jews adjusted to the new situation of racism and ethno-nationalism by adopting the same approach to their own identity: to form their own state, improve themselves, cure European society of antisemitism, and complete the emancipation by integration into humankind as a nation rather than as individuals. But how did this apparently manageable situation result in the Holocaust?

Since its inception, the “Achilles’ heel” of the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure has been catheterization of the portal vein from the systemic venous circulation. In the majority of TIPS procedures, the portal vein is readily identified with conventional technique and the procedure is completed in no more than 60–90 minutes, if not less. However, there are certain anatomic situations that can make performance of a TIPS procedure difficult. A small cirrhotic liver with an abnormal hepatic to portal venous orientation, t hrombosis or cavernous transformation of the portal vasculature, and atrophic or absent (Budd–Chiari) hepatic veins all produce unique challenges for the interventionalist. In such situations, the use of alternative TIPS techniques may be warranted. In this chapter, two alternative TIPS techniques are discussed to assist with challenging anatomy.

This chapter comments on Article 14 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 14 is really the completion of article 13(a). Article 13 lists three sources of ‘triggering’ or authorization for exercise of jurisdiction: the Security Council, a State Party, and the propriomotu initiative of the Prosecutor. Article 14 contrasts with the brief text governing Security Council referral found in article 13(b). Arguably, the two processes are similar, and the different formulations of the concept of referral in articles 13(b) and 14 are puzzling. It would have been preferable to use equivalent language and terminology, given the substantive similarities. The differences can be explained by the complex drafting process, and the fact that the two concepts originate in different provisions within the early versions of the Statute.

Neuroanesthesia: A Problem-Based Learning Approach provides a comprehensive review of the field of neuroanesthesia. Its format, inspired by the American Society of Anesthesiologists model of Problem-Based Learning Discussions, incorporates a pool of practical, ABA board-exam-style multiple choice questions for self-assessment. Each of its 29 case-based chapters start with a case description, usually a compilation of several actual cases; it then branches out through case-based questions to increasingly complex situations. The structure is designed to create an authentic experience that mirrors that of an oral board examination. The discussion sections that follow offer a comprehensive approach to the chapter’s subject matter, thus creating a modern, complete, and up-to-date review of the topic. This book is equally a solid reference compendium of neuronesthesia topics and a comprehensive review to assist the general anesthesiologist both in day-to-day practice and during preparation for certification exams.

This chapter first considers the available defences (both complete and partial) to claims for the mis-selling of financial products. It then discusses the provisions of the Limitation Act 1980; the concept of causation; situations in which contributory negligence may arise; circumstances in which recourse for contribution may be available against third parties where a defendant becomes exposed to a claim for mis-selling; and the defence of contractual estoppel.

Game theory aims to understand situations in which decision-makers interact strategically. Chess is an example, as are firms competing for business, politicians competing for votes, animals fighting over prey, bidders competing in auctions, threats and punishments in long-term relationships, and so on. In such situations, the outcome depends on what the parties do jointly. Decision-makers may be people, organizations, animals, or even genes. In this chapter, the authors review fundamental notions of game theory and their application to philosophy of science. In particular, Section 1 looks at games of complete information through normal and extensive form representations, introduce the notion of Nash equilibrium and its refinements. Section 2 touches on epistemic foundations and correlated equilibrium, and Section 3 examines repeated games and their importance for the analysis of altruism and cooperation. Section 4 deals with evolutionary game theory.

The premise of the contributions to this book is to conceive languages, groups and belonging in terms of social, symbolic and spatial boundaries. In language contact situations especially, linguistic and social inequalities deeply interconnect with shifting boundary formations that can promote or impede the political, social and linguistic recognition of minorities. This book offers a culturally and linguistically informed approach to border and boundary studies using conversation analysis, ethnography and studies of linguistic landscapes in language contact situations in the Romance world. The book promotes plurilingualism as an epistemological given and thus advocates a future of complex social and linguistic diversity.

This chapter brings readers up to date on the women's circumstances and activities through mid-2014, when the manuscript was completed. The New Year's message the author received from Marzia in 2013 alluded to her “critical situation.” She later learned that Marzia had been suffering from severe depression, which had kept her from communicating with many of her friends. By the spring of 2013, Jamila was reporting that the security situation was getting worse in Afghanistan and that she was still without a clear option for studying abroad. But despite her continuing fear and frustration, and the fatigue in her voice, she wanted to emphasize how important it was for her to continue with her work.

International intervention in Somalia has been characterized by two distinct phases of engagement, between 1992 and 1995 and again from 2002 onwards, which proved both fundamental to the development of the responsibility to protect (R2P) norm, and which generate important lessons for the further development of the norm. This chapter explores both phases of engagement, drawing six key lessons which international engagement in Somalia yield for the R2P norm, and for future international intervention in conflicts characterized by war crimes and the absence of a state and an established governance architecture. While the situation in Somalia is likely to remain complex for some time to come, international engagement in Somalia has both proved key to the development of R2P in the first instance, and demonstrated that in spite of the most extreme obstacles, measures can effectively be taken to contribute to the protection of a civilian population affected by a complex conflict situation, and to support a nascent state to meet its responsibility to protect.

The chapter presents a model with complete markets, a situation in which consumers can access a full set of insurance contracts and are protected against any possible risk. Although in this model consumers are exposed to risks, the complete-market assumption in fact neutralizes their effect on consumption. The assumption of complete markets has two consequences for the analysis of intertemporal choice. First, it neutralizes the effect of uncertainty on the distribution of individual consumption over time. Individuals behave as if there were no uncertainty. Second, it makes individual behavior coincide with aggregate behavior, so that we can study either one indifferently. The chapter also surveys some of the tests of the complete-market hypothesis and the implication of the complete-market hypothesis for consumption inequality and consumption mobility.

The central aim of this book is to explore the ways in which social categories—especially gender, but also categories like race and religion—interact with and contribute to social solutions to problems of coordination and resource division. In particular, this book uses formal frameworks—game theory and evolutionary game theory—to explore the cultural evolution of conventions that piggyback on seemingly irrelevant factors like gender and race. As I argue, these frameworks elucidate a variety of topics. In particular, these frameworks help show how inequity can emerge from simple processes of cultural change. In groups with gender and racial categories, the process of learning conventions of coordination and resource division is such that under a wide array of situations some groups will tend to get more and others less. One theme that runs throughout the book is that surprisingly minimal conditions are needed to robustly produce phenomena related to inequity that we usually think of as psychologically complex. It takes very little to generate a situation in which social categories (like gender) are almost guaranteed to emerge. The preconditions under which models move toward outcomes that look like discrimination are, again, very minimal. Once inequity emerges in these models, it takes very little for it to persist indefinitely. Thus, we need to think of inequity as part of an ever-evolving process. It is not something we can expect to fix and be done with. Along these lines, the picture I present is ultimately one where those concerned with social justice must remain vigilant against the dynamic forces that push toward inequity.

More than one-third of Americans could not sustain a basic livelihood without government assistance. Almost 60 percent of seniors are dependent on the government. Why is this? This book examines how the U.S. economy's failure to deliver high-quality, universally accessible basic necessities is creating acute financial insecurity among the American middle class. Over the past 30 years, America's middle class has grown more financially insecure. How much of this pressing problem is due to Americans' failure to restrain their spending versus their upwards spiraling–and increasingly necessary–expenditures on health care, education, and housing? And how can Americans choose between financial security and paying for essentials on a day-to-day basis? This book answers these tough questions and many more in its evaluation of a complex and contentious issue: how basic expenses of life in the 21st century are bankrupting American families. The book begins with a snapshot of U.S. household finances, an assessment of financial insecurity's prevalence across the nation, and a description of how American households have declined into their present precarious economic situation over the last three decades. The author's analysis then looks at how European countries pursue policies that make these essentials highly accessible and postulates that the socialization of these essentials in other countries has helped to solidify household finances and maintain living standards. The work uniquely focuses on the plight of the middle class in America to provide relevant, useful information to help as many readers as possible to better understand and improve their own financial situations.

Offering an array of fresh innovations to remedy the most daunting leadership challenges of today's complex and rapidly evolving world, this practical how-to guide is for anyone who has ever had qualms about his or her lack of leadership experience or imagined limitations. Everyone in a leadership or management role wants a quick and effective solution to the most severe problems. This book enables even a novice to proactively work through the largest challenges. Rather than providing clichs or superficial advice, the authors leverage the most impactful examples of key elements of leadership in a practical way that readers can translate to their own situations, no matter if they are in charge of a for-profit, not-for-profit, educational, religious, family, or social organization. The questions for analysis in each chapter specifically guide readers as they apply the material to their own experiences and challenges, making the insights pragmatic, relevant, and immediately useful. The book presents innovative tools and techniques, such as the use of Pascal's Wager to make momentous decisions despite gaps in relevant data and an uncertain future, as well as a way to reduce or eliminate the career-ending threat of any reader's most severe "Achilles' heel" vulnerabilities. The time management chapter supplies dozens of pragmatic ideas to do more in less time and do it better; the chapter on "Quicksand Quadrants" enables any leader to quickly assess the optimal mix of approaches in any situation. It all adds up to an essential and user-friendly manual for every leader at every level.

In the last decade in Australia teacher education has undergone numerous critical reviews, yet little on the teacher education front appears to have changed. Related to this, the teaching profession's struggles to cope with a changing world have been publicly documented and an increasing push for improved school outcomes from Australian governments, at both the state and federal level, appear as regular pieces in the national press. This forms a complex situation involving competing concerns, and raises questions concerning what to make of the situation and how to move teacher education forward in Australia. This book seeks to answer these questions by providing an evidence-based framework for investigating and directing teacher education practice into the future.
