The rise of China is changing the strategic landscape globally and regionally. How states respond to potential threats posed by this new power arrangement will be crucial to international relations for the coming decades. This book builds on existing realist and rationalist concepts of balancing, bandwagoning, commitment problems, and asymmetric information to craft explanations about how states respond when faced with potential threats. Specifically, the book explores the role different types of uncertainty play in potential balancing situations. Particular focus is given to the nature of the rising state’s actions, the balance of forces, and the value of delay. These concepts are analysed and illustrated through a series of case studies on Europe in the 1930s as well as the present-day Southeast Asia, looking at great powers such as Britain and France, but also a wide range of smaller powers including Poland, Yugoslavia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

<P>Die vorliegende Untersuchung befaßt sich mit dem Phänomen der phonischen, interlingualen Interferenz im Bereich der kompositen Zweisprachigkeit. Im Gegensatz zur koordinierten Zweisprachigkeit wird hier eine zweite, fremde Sprache auf der Basis einer ersten gelernt, die man Mutter- , Erst- oder Ausgangssprache nennt. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund struktureller Kontraste zwischen Erst- und Zweitsprache kommt es zu bestimmten Fehlleistungen bei Sprechern einer gegebenen Muttersprache im Erwerb bzw. in ihren Äußerungen in der zweiten Sprache. Für diese Arbeit ist das Polnische die Ausgangssprache, das Deutsch die Zweit- oder Zielsprache. </P>

This study presents a corpus-based semasiologial and onomasiological analysis of the paradigm of adjectives and adverbs of accuracy. Looking specifically at justo / justamente, cabal / cabalmente, preciso / precisamente, and exacto / exactamente, it is above all concerned with the development of three pragmatic-discursive functions: focalization, affirmation, and reformulation.

Coral reefs are acknowledged for the beauty of their organisms, which has made this natural ecosystem one of the most appreciated on Earth. It is believed to be the richest in terms of species diversity and species interactions, at least in theory since there is yet much documentation work to be done. Indeed, the paradox is that of the estimated one million species living in this ecosystem globally, only 10% of them have been described. To date, most of the coral reef studies have focused on the most peculiar and fabulous groups, such as corals and fishes, although most of the diversity is usually represented by small, colored, camouflaged, hidden, and crypto organisms from all kingdoms of life. The mystery of their diversity, ecology, biology, and importance in the functioning of coral reefs motivate many scientists to dive, all around the world, in order to discover, name, and appreciate such a fascinating, but unfortunately overlooked, component of nature. This book is a very nice illustration of the charm of the coral-associated fauna.

The author expands the definition of Turkish American literature beyond fiction written by Americans of Turkish descent to incorporate texts that literally ‘commute’ between two national spheres. This segment of Turkish American literature transcends established paradigms of immigrant life-writing, as it includes works by Turkish authors who do not qualify as American permanent residents and were not born in the United States by Turkish parents (such as Elif Shafak and Halide Edip), and on novels where the Turkish and Ottoman matter decisively prevails over the American (Güneli Gün’s «On the Road to Baghdad» and Alev Lytle Croutier’s «Seven Houses»). Yet, these texts were written in English, were purposefully located on the American market, and simultaneously engage the Turkish and the American cultural and literary traditions.

This exciting book is the first systematic study of how international environmental agreements are transformed into political action in Russia. Using three illuminating case studies on the implementation process in the fields of fisheries management, nuclear safety and air pollution control, this book fills an important gap in existing literature. While the focus in current social science debate on international environmental regimes is accumulating knowledge on 'implementing activities' at both national and international level, this book goes one step further and examines implementation at national and regional level. This topic is of great theoretical relevance to the study of environmental politics since some of the main sources of environmental degradation in Europe are to be found in the Russian Federation. It is also of relevance to the more general debate on contemporary Russian politics and offers valuable new material on regional politics in Russia. With its emphasis on the politics of environmental and resource management, it continues the description and discussion of political processes where most accounts of Russian politics tend to stop. This book will be invaluable for undergraduates, postgraduates and academics studying environmental politics and Russian politics at regional and national level.

"Gábor Lövei’s scientific communication course for students and scientists explores the intricacies involved in publishing primary scientific papers, and has been taught in more than twenty countries. Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers is the distillation of Lövei’s lecture notes and experience gathered over two decades; it is the coursebook many have been waiting for. The book’s three main sections correspond with the three main stages of a paper’s journey from idea to print: planning, writing, and publishing. Within the book’s chapters, complex questions such as ‘How to write the introduction?’ or ‘How to submit a manuscript?’ are broken down into smaller, more manageable problems that are then discussed in a straightforward, conversational manner, providing an easy and enjoyable reading experience. Writing and Publishing Scientific Papers stands out from its field by targeting scientists whose first language is not English. While also touching on matters of style and grammar, the book’s main goal is to advise on first principles of communication. This book is an excellent resource for any student or scientist wishing to learn more about the scientific publishing process and scientific communication. It will be especially useful to those coming from outside the English-speaking world and looking for a comprehensive guide for publishing their work in English."

Pet grooming Singapore is crucial for maintaining the health and well-being of your furry friend, especially small breeds that require special attention. Pet grooming is more than just a beauty routine; it plays a vital role in ensuring your dog's comfort and preventing potential health issues. Here’s what you need to know about grooming small dogs. 1. Regular Brushing One of the key aspects of dog grooming is regular brushing. Small dogs often have fine or delicate coats that can easily tangle and form mats, which may lead to skin irritation or infections. Depending on the breed, brushing should be done anywhere from a few times a week to daily. For example, long-haired breeds like Shih Tzus and Yorkshire Terriers need daily brushing, while short-haired breeds like French Bulldogs may only require weekly grooming. Regular brushing helps to distribute natural oils, keeping their coat shiny and healthy. It also reduces shedding, which is beneficial for both the dog and the owner. 2. Bathing Bathing is another essential part of pet grooming services Singapore, especially for small dogs that tend to get dirty more quickly due to their proximity to the ground. However, over-bathing can strip their coat of essential oils, so it’s crucial to find the right balance. Aim to bathe your small dog once every 4 to 6 weeks, unless they have gotten particularly dirty or smelly. When bathing, use a dog-specific shampoo that is gentle on their skin. Avoid using human shampoos as they can be too harsh and cause skin irritation. Always ensure you thoroughly rinse off any soap residue to prevent dryness or itching. 3. Nail Trimming Nail trimming is an often-overlooked aspect of dog grooming but is essential for the health of small dogs. Overgrown nails can lead to discomfort, pain, and even difficulty walking. For small dogs, it’s important to trim their nails every 3 to 4 weeks. Be careful not to cut into the quick (the sensitive part inside the nail), which can cause bleeding and pain. If you're unsure, it’s best to consult a professional pet groomer. 4. Ear Cleaning Small dogs are prone to ear infections, especially breeds with floppy ears like Cocker Spaniels and Bichon Frises. Regular ear cleaning is necessary to prevent wax buildup, dirt accumulation, and infections. Use a vet-recommended ear cleaner and gently clean their ears once a week or as needed. 5. Teeth Brushing Oral hygiene is an important yet often neglected part of dog grooming. Small dogs are particularly prone to dental issues, such as plaque and tartar buildup. Brush their teeth at least two to three times a week using a dog-friendly toothpaste to maintain good oral health. Conclusion In conclusion, dog grooming is an essential routine for small dogs to ensure they remain healthy, clean, and comfortable. Whether it's brushing, bathing, or trimming their nails, regular pet grooming helps keep your furry friend looking their best while preventing health problems. If you're unsure about any aspect of grooming, consider seeking advice from a professional pet groomer Singapore to ensure your small dog receives the best care possible.

Fieldwork extending over a thirty-year period provided materials for this book. Paths and Rivers offers an unusually deep and broad picture of the Sa’dan Toraja as a society in dynamic transition over the course of the past century. The Toraja inhabit the mountainous highlands of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and are well known for their dramatic architecture, their unusual cliff burials, and their flamboyant ceremonial life, which places extraordinary economic demands on individuals and families. The analysis is informed, firstly, by a comparative perspective which sets Toraja social structure in the context of the Austronesian world. Secondly, the author delves deeply into Toraja social memory to show how people think about the past. She examines the usefulness of history and myth in the present as a source of identity, a template for action, or a resource by means of which to claim precedence. The book gives a clear picture of the structure and ethos of the indigenous Toraja religion, the Aluk To Dolo or ‘Way of the Ancestors’, with its complex cycle of rituals. The book concludes with an analysis of the ceremonial economy, which draws upon both domestic subsistence production and the global market economy.Paths and Rivers draws together a fascinating picture of one society’s journey into modernity.Roxana Waterson is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore.
