Book excerpt: Historical novel, written in Esperanto, about the culture, daily life, diplomacy, and wars of the Huns during the 3rd century B.C.E. -- Dua duono de la 3-a jarcento aK.: Imperiestro Qin Shi Huangdi, regho de Qin, lanchas siajn armeojn kontrau' la najbaraj reghlandoj. En 256 la reghlando Zhou estas okupita; en 230 la reghlando Han; en 228, la Zhao; en 225 venis la vico de Wei. La maljuna regho de Wei devigas sian filon Chan, la chef-komandanton de la armeoj de Wei, al akcepto de senespera fronta batalo. Post la malvenko, la princo Chan fughas kun sia huna kavalerio en Chu-landon. Post malvenko en Chu, en 223, la kavalerio de la Princo dau'rigas la rezistadon en Yan, kiu falas post unujara batalado. Du jarojn poste la tuta Chinio apartenas al la Qin. La princo Chan sin kashas, dum sep jaroj, en taoisma monakejo meze de neatingeblaj montaroj. Sed farighi taoisma saghulo ne estis lia destino; li ne kapablas submetighi al la malamata Qin. Li decidas forlasi la chinan teron kaj komenci novan vivon che la hunoj. "La Princo che la hunoj" estas la rakonto pri la hunigho de china aristokrato, pri malfacila adaptigho de talenta individuo al alia civilizo, al aliaj homoj, moroj, gustoj kaj odoroj.
Download or read book Prions in Humans and Animals written by Beat Hörnlimann and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-05-08 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive work, aimed at both students and researchers alike, systematically covers all aspects of prion diseases (transmissible spongiform encephalopathies), from their history, microbiology and pathology to their transmissibility and prevention. The book describes diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru, mad cow disease (BSE), chronic wasting disease and scrapie, highlighting their biochemical, molecular biological, genetic, and clinical aspects. A detailed presentation of the impact of prion diseases in fields such as pharmaceutics, blood products, disinfection, surgical instruments and epidemiology concludes with a discussion of preventive measures. A renowned editorial team, representing the fields of medicine, veterinary medicine and molecular biology, brought together 80 internationally respected authors for this translation and new edition of the successful German publication, not only from relevant research fields, but also from industry and public health institutions. The book includes chapters by, among many other notable scientists, William J. Hadlow, who discovered the relationship between the human and animal forms of prion diseases and Michael P. Alpers, with 45 years of experience in Papua New Guinea investigating the first known human epidemic form, kuru, transmitted by endocannibalism. Further contributions from Gerald A. H. Wells, a veterinary pathologist who described BSE and recognised its similarity to scrapie, thus recording the first cases in 1986 of the most important animal epidemic of modern times, and Robert G. Will, a medical neurologist and epidemiologist who discovered the emergence of the variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in 1996, underscore the strength of this author team. Carefully edited with numerous illustrations, this work offers a systematic approach committed to a clear presentation of the current knowledge of prion diseases. It aims to inspire and stimulate interdisciplinary cooperation, innovative research ideas and effective prevention.
Download or read book The Social Construction of Disease written by Kiheung Kim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical exploration of scientific disputes on the causation of so-called ‘prion diseases’, this fascinating book covers diseases including Scrapie, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). Firstly tracing the twentieth-century history of disease research and biomedicine, the text then focuses on the relations between scientific practice and wider social transformations, before finally building upon the sociologically informed methodological framework. Incisive and thought-provoking, The Social Construction of Disease provides a valuable contribution to that well-established tradition of social history of science, which refers primarily to the theoretical works of the sociology of scientific knowledge.

Download or read book Marginal Linguistic Identities written by Dieter Hubert Stern and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present conference volume is an attempt to extend the scope of Eastern European linguistics by bringing together contributions from the fields of sociolinguistics and social anthropology hitherto neglected in the study of Eastern European languages. The collection of papers focusses primarily on cultural and linguistic hybridity in contexts of marginalization. Special attention is given to the language-identity nexus. All analyses are based on field research covering the spectrum from largescale questionnaire elicitation to participant observation. This reflects the editors' concern and hope for a renewed appreciation of field work by Slavic scholars. The volume is structured thematically, dealing withas diverse topics as cultural hybridity, linguistic identity in borderland communities, language death and genesis, code-mixing, as well as dialect shift under conditions of sociopolitical upheaval. Among the languages treated are Kashubian, Banat Bul-garian, Aegean Macedonian, Slovene, non-standard and contact varieties of Russian (Karelian-Russian, Old settlers' Russian, Russian lexifier pidgins and Russian foreigner talk), mixed lects (Surzhyk and Trasianka), and standard-dialect-continua in Ex-Yugoslavia.
