Cross-Cultural Child Development for Social Workers

An Introduction

By: Lena Robinson

Social workers today operate in an increasingly ethnically diverse society, yet many of the models that they use fail to reflect that diversity. Lena Robinson's exciting and innovative text draws on literature from Britain and North America to explain child development from a cross-cultural, black and ecological perspective. Using practice examples to illuminate key points for social workers, she considers a range of key topics from attachment to identity and communication to socialization. This will be essential reading for social workers at all stages of their careers who want to develop strength-based, anti-racist and culturally sensitive practice.

PreColumbian Textile Conference VII / Jornadas de Textiles PreColombinos VII

By: Lena Bjerregaard,Ann Peters

From May 31st to June 4th, 2016, the 7th International European conference on pre-Columbian textiles was held in Copenhagen. This volume unites seven original articles on pre-Columbian textiles from Mexico, which compare information on 20th century finds first described by Alba Guadelupe Mastache with that from previously unpublished finds and recently discovered contexts. A unique chapter presents the technical analysis and replication of a pre-Columbian tunic recovered in a cave site in Arizona, at the northern margins of the Mesoamerican interaction sphere. Thirteen articles on archaeological textiles from the central Andes include analysis of both textile assemblages preserved in museum collections and those recovered during recent fieldwork in archaeological sites of the Andean desert coast. These include textile assemblages representing the Initial and Formative Periods, Paracas and Nasca contexts, the Middle Horizon, diverse late Intermediate Period assemblages and emblematic Inca garments.

African Thoughts on Colonial and Neo-Colonial Worlds

Facets of an Intellectual History of Africa

By: Anaïs Angelo,Paulina Aroch-Fugellie,Lena Dallywater,Lutz Diegner,Myra Ann Houser,Janine Kläge,Sara Marzagora,Felix Müller,Arno Sonderegger,Ninja Steinbach-Hüther,Joanna Tegnerowicz

This book shows the many facets of African engagements with the world. It starts from the premise that current global asymmetries ascribing Africa to a marginalized position are the effects of colonial and imperial pasts still lingering on. The decolonization process of the post-war structure which privileges the West in both political and economic terms. While new dependencies emerged, several old bonds were maintained and continue to influence African affairs quite strikingly. It is appropriate, then, to call these continued unequal relations between Africa and the West frankly 'neo-colonial'. This designation applies all the more as the post-colonial states of Africa inherited a complex legacy of foreign rule – colonial frontiers, colonial languages, colonial infrastructure and authoritarian institutions, as well as the social intricacies and imbalances so characteristic of the 'colonial situation'. The contributions to this volume look at various aspects of these complex processes from intellectual history perspectives. The topics dealt with are manifold. Contributions deliberately attack key themes, ideas and discourses of an intellectual history of Africa ('state', 'modernity', 'development', 'dependency', 'art', etc.), and introduce important engaged public intellectuals from Africa and the African diaspora. What is Africa, and how is she related to the rest of the world? How can she overcome her internal problems and her external dependencies? – These are perennial questions critically tackled by Africans throughout the 20th century. Dealing with various cases looked at from a variety of perspectives, the contributions to this book offer original insights into the intellectual history of Africa.

In between Life and Death

Decision-making of HIV+ Mothers in Lesotho

By: Lena Kroeker

This book recounts the stories of 30 expectant mothers living with HIV in Lesotho, and how they made decisions during an uncertain time. Social concerns - such as poverty, familial disruption, limited opportunities, and early infant care - are present during a time "in between life and death." Medical and non-medical solutions are found to make this life-changing event a success. Familial care, medical counseling, and ritual practices were combined, yet there were often conflicting demands. In between Life and Death is about the navigation of such conflicts. (Series: Contributions to the Africa Research / Beitrage zur Afrikaforschung - Vol. 61) [Subject: Sociology, Women's Studies, African Studies, Healthcare]

Multi-Screen Behavior: Implications on Media Usage and Advertising Effectiveness

By: Dr. Lena Hoeck

The spread and use of screen-based devices have been steeply increasing with new types of screen-based devices such as tablets, e-readers, and screen-based wearable devices (e.g., Smartchwatches) being introduced to the market. Moreover, traditional screen-based devices such as the television (TV) have been merged with Internet technologies. An industry particularly affected by this increasing use of screen-based devices is the media industry. For instance, consumers frequently use multiple screen-based devices in parallel, switching back and forth between devices. The key objective of this cumulative dissertation is to provide insights into the implications of multi-screen behavior for the media industry. More specifically, we analyze the effect of multi-screen behavior on media usage behavior and on the effectiveness of advertising placed in different media. We conduct empirical analyses to show how consumers' interaction with different screen-based devices influences substantive consumer behavior. The results of this dissertation contribute to previous research by (1) leading to a better understanding of the behavioral outcomes of multi-screen behavior, (2) providing knowledge about the mediation and moderation effects of multi-screen behavior on media usage and advertising effectiveness, and (3) applying novel research methodologies that contribute to the understanding of multi-screen behavior at the individual-level and in a more natural research setting.

Spectroscopic and Mechanistic Studies of Dinuclear Metallohydrolases and Their Biomimetic Complexes

Spectroscopic and Mechanistic Studies of Dinuclear Metallohydrolases and Their Biomimetic Complexes

By: Lena Josefine Daumann

Lena Daumanns's thesis describes structural and functional studies of the enzyme Glycerophosphodiesterase (GpdQ) from Enterobacter aerogenes. It also examines the properties of small mimics of this enzyme and related binuclear metallohydrolases such as the metallo-ß-lactamases to enhance our understanding of hydrolytic cleavage of important substrates like phosphoesters and β-lactams. Overall, this project has led to a better understanding of the metal ion binding and active site structural features of the enzyme GpdQ. Daumann describes how she successfully immobilized phosphoesterase and related biomimetics on solid supports for potential applications in the area of bioremediation of organophosphate pesticides. Analysis shows that both the enzyme and biomimetics can be stored on the solid support without loss of activity. Furthermore, the author specroscopically and mechanistically characterized a number of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Co(II) complexes, some of which are among the most active biomimetics towards organophosphates reported to date. This thesis makes excellent reading for non-specialists because each chapter includes a short introduction section.

In Search of the Broad Spectrum Revolution in Paleolithic Southwest Europe

By: Emily Lena Jones

The people who inhabited Southwest Europe from 30,000 to 13,000 years ago are often portrayed as big game hunters – and indeed, in some locations (Cantabrian Spain, the Pyrenees, the Dordogne) the archaeological record supports this interpretation. But in other places, notably Mediterranean Iberia, the inhabitants focused their hunting efforts on smaller game, such as rabbits, fish, and birds. Were they less effective hunters? Were these environments depleted of red deer and other large game? Or is this evidence of Paleolithic people’s adaptability? This volume explores these questions, along the way delving into the history of the “bigger equals better” assumption; optimal foraging theory and niche construction theory; and patterns of environmental and subsistence change across the Pleistocene-Holocene transition.
