Chinas distinctive social media platforms have gained notable popularity among the nations vast number of internet users, but has Chinas countryside been left behind in this communication revolution? Tom McDonald spent 15 months living in a small rural Chinese community researching how the residents use social media in their daily lives. His ethnographic findings suggest that, far from being left behind, social media is already deeply integrated into the everyday experience of many rural Chinese people. Throughout his ground-breaking study, McDonald argues that social media allows rural people to extend and transform their social relationships by deepening already existing connections with friends known through their school, work or village, while also experimenting with completely new forms of relationships through online interactions with strangers. By juxtaposing these seeminglyopposedrelations, rural social media users are able to use these technologies to understand, capitalise on and challenge the notions of morality that underlie rural life.
Eine über das bereits erreichte Mass hinausgehende Harmonisierung der europäischen Umsatzsteuersysteme ist Voraussetzung für die Abschaffung der Grenzkontrollen innerhalb der Europäischen Gemeinschaft; sie bildet damit ein Kernstück der für 1992 anvisierten Vollendung des europäischen Binnenmarktes.<BR> Die Darstellung des mit Gründung der EG in 1958 begonnenen Prozesses der Umsatzsteuerharmonisierung macht u.a. deutlich, dass Steuerharmonisierung keinesfalls einseitig als Opfer nationaler Steuerpolitik an das übergeordnete Ziel der europäischen Integration interpretiert werden darf. Steuerharmonisierung kann im Gegenteil mit dazu beitragen, in jedem einzelnen Mitgliedsstaat der EG rationale Steuerpolitik gegen festgefahrene innenpolitische Strukturen durchzusetzen.
The charm of Mathematical Physics resides in the conceptual difficulty of understanding why the language of Mathematics is so appropriate to formulate the laws of Physics and to make precise predictions. Citing Eugene Wigner, this “unreasonable appropriateness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences” emerged soon at the beginning of the scientific thought and was splendidly depicted by the words of Galileo: “The grand book, the Universe, is written in the language of Mathematics.” In this marriage, what Bertrand Russell called the supreme beauty, cold and austere, of Mathematics complements the supreme beauty, warm and engaging, of Physics. This book, which consists of nine articles, gives a flavor of these beauties and covers an ample range of mathematical subjects that play a relevant role in the study of physics and engineering. This range includes the study of free probability measures associated with p-adic number fields, non-commutative measures of quantum discord, non-linear Schrödinger equation analysis, spectral operators related to holomorphic extensions of series expansions, Gibbs phenomenon, deformed wave equation analysis, and optimization methods in the numerical study of material properties.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Conference on the Management of collections and co-operation in the hybrid library, which was organised in Florence on 13 October 2005 by the Italian Libraries Association (Tuscan Section and University and Research Committee). The contributions are dedicated in particular to grasping the opportunities and adaptations generated by Internet and the possibility of disseminating electronic documents, both in the development of the collections and the planning of services and in the study of new forms of communication between institutions.Il volume raccoglie gli atti del convegno su Gestione delle raccolte e cooperazione nella biblioteca ibrida, organizzato a Firenze il 13 ottobre 2005 dall'Associazione Italiana Biblioteche (Sezione Toscana e Commissione Università e Ricerca). I contributi sono dedicati in particolare a cogliere le opportunità e le modifiche dovute ad Internet e alla possibilità di diffondere documenti elettronici sia nello sviluppo delle raccolte, sia nella pianificazione dei servizi, sia nello studio di nuove forme di cooperazione fra istituzioni.
his book consists of selected papers delivered at “First International Conference on Rhetoric in Croatia: the Days of Ivo Škarić” in May, 2012, and subsequently revised for publication. Through a variety of different routes, the papers explore the role of rhetoric and argumentation in various types of public discourse and present interdisciplinary work connecting linguists, phoneticians, philosophers, law experts and communication scientists in the common ground of rhetoric and argumentation.
"Encounters, breaks and bonds: a study of the mother work in the Supermammat peer groupThis study explores a peer group for mothers, which is presented by the pseudonym Supermammat. The group is a third sector agent, which has served mothers and their children almost three decades. In the Supermammat group mothers get opportunity for carrying out functional programme, taking their children to organized childcare, sharing peer support and receiving professional aid. In addition to weekly meetings, outings, camps and other recreational activities are organized in the group. The aim of the operation is to support motherhood.The objective of the study is to describe practices of supporting mothers in the operation of the Supermammat group. The objective is approached by treating group’s history, current operation and principles directing it together with workers and their job towards supporting mothers participating in the operation of the Supermammat group. However, the study par excellence gives voice to people for whom the group has established. It’s most central aim is to tell what kind of meaning the operation of the group has for mothers. This is ethnographically executed case study, which starting point is to explore restricted research subject by utilizing different perspectives and datas. The core data consists of interviews of mothers participated in the operation of the Supermammat group (N=23) and fieldnotes gathered during participant observation. In addition, interviews of persons worked on the group (N=11) are included in the data. The data gathered is supplemented by the documents from the operation of the group.Research findings indicate that the operation of the group has turned more professional and functionally more various in the course of time. The operation consists of many elements, reaches dozens of mothers annually and requires contribution of several agents. Participating in the operation gets it’s meaning as encounters, breaks and bonds. The group gives an opportunity for encounters forming both peer support and professional aid. At the same time, it constructs a chance of withdrawing from everyday life by producing breaks to mother’s routines. In addition, participating in the operation of the Supermammat group gives space for constructing an affinity, various relationships and connections fastened on the group. ""Kohtaamisia, katkoksia ja sidoksia: tutkimus Supermammojen vertaisryhmän äitityöstäTämä tutkimus tarkastelee äitien vertaisryhmää, joka esiintyy peitenimellä Supermammat. Kyseessä on kolmannen sektorin toimija, joka on palvellut äitejä lapsineen lähestulkoon kolmen vuosikymmenen ajan. Supermammojen ryhmässä äidit saavat mahdollisuuden toiminnallisen ohjelman toteutukseen, järjestettyyn lastenhoitoon, vertaistuen jakamiseen ja ammatillisen avun vastaanottamiseen. Ryhmä kokoontuu viikoittain, jonka lisäksi järjestetään retkiä, leirejä ja muuta virkistystoimintaa. Toiminnan tavoitteeksi on asetettu äitiyden tukeminen.Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on kuvata käytäntöjä, joilla Supermammojen toiminnassa tuetaan siihen osallistuvia äitejä. Tavoitteeseen vastataan tarkastelemalla ryhmän historiaa, tämänhetkistä toimintaa ja sitä ohjaavia periaatteita sekä työntekijöitä ja tehtäviä, joita he toteuttavat Supermammojen toimintaan osallistuvien äitien tukemiseksi. Ennen kaikkea tutkimus kuitenkin antaa äänen ihmisille, joita varten Supermammojen ryhmä on perustettu. Sen keskeisin päämäärä on kertoa, millainen merkitys ryhmän toiminnalla on siihen osallistuneille äideille.Kyseessä on etnografisesti toteutettu tapaustutkimus, jonka lähtökohtana on rajatun tutkimuskohteen tarkastelu erilaisia näkökulmia ja aineistoja hyödyntäen. Keskeisin osa aineistoa ovat Supermammojen toimintaan osallistuneiden äitien haastattelut (N=23) ja osallistuvan havainnoinnin perusteella kirjatut kenttämuistiinpanot. Aineistoon kuuluu myös ryhmässä työskennelleiden henkilöiden haastatteluja (N=11) ja Supermammojen toiminnasta tuotettuja dokumentteja.Tutkimustulokset osoittavat, että Supermammojen toiminta on ajan kuluessa muuttunut paitsi professionaalisemmaksi myös toiminnallisesti moninaisemmaksi. Toiminta koostuu monista elementeistä, tavoittaa vuosittain kymmeniä äitejä ja vaatii toteutuakseen useiden toimijoiden työpanosta. Siihen osallistuminen saa merkityksensä kohtaamisina, katkoksina ja sidoksina. Ryhmä antaa mahdollisuuden kohtaamisille, joissa rakentuu sekä vertaistukea että ammatillista auttamista. Samalla se luo tilaisuuden arkielämästä irtaantumiselle tuottamalla katkoksia äidin arkeen. Lisäksi Supermammojen toimintaan osallistuminen antaa tilaa yhteenkuuluvuuden tunteen, moninaisten ihmissuhteiden ja ryhmään kiinnittyvien yhteyksien rakentumiselle. "

What is semantic transparency, why is it important, and which factors play a role in its assessment? This work approaches these questions by investigating English compound nouns. The first part of the book gives an overview of semantic transparency in the analysis of compound nouns, discussing its role in models of morphological processing and differentiating it from related notions. After a chapter on the semantic analysis of complex nominals, it closes with a chapter on previous attempts to model semantic transparency. The second part introduces new empirical work on semantic transparency, introducing two different sets of statistical models for compound transparency. In particular, two semantic factors were explored: the semantic relations holding between compound constituents and the role of different readings of the constituents and the whole compound, operationalized in terms of meaning shifts and in terms of the distribution of specifc readings across constituent families.
The encounter of Occident and Orient is one of the major topics of our time. This encounter is the theme of the present volume in regards to the Palestinian realm from 1799 to 1948. The contributions of twelve authors from Germany, France, Israel, Italy, Austria, Russia, and Switzerland are concerned with a period in which the ordinary interest for the land of the Bible and Christian history was connected to a much greater cultural and political discourse, which was not only carried out by the western churches, but also by European societies in general. In nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Palestine, many forces were at work; from 1516/17 Palestine belonged to the Ottoman Empire. Beginning in the nineteenth century, especially after 1840, this small territory became an issue for world politics. The maintenance of the integrity of the Ottoman Empire constituted one of the guidelines of the European powers.
