This volume examines the range of Non-Trade Concerns (NTCs) that
may conflict with international economic rules and proposes ways to
protect them within international law and international economic
law. Globalization without local concerns can endanger relevant
issues such as good governance, human rights, right to water, right
to food, social, economic, cultural and environmental rights, labor
rights, access to knowledge, public health, social welfare,
consumer interests and animal welfare, climate change, energy,
environmental protection and sustainable development, product
safety, food safety and security. Focusing on China, the book shows
the current trends of Chinese law and policy towards international
standards. The authors argue that China can play a leading role in
this context: not only has China adopted several reforms and new
regulations to address NTCs; but it has started to play a very
relevant role in international negotiations on NTCs such as climate
change, energy, and culture, among others. While China is still
considered a developing country, in particular from the NTCs' point
of view, it promises to be a key actor in international law in
general and, more specifically, in international economic law in
this respect. This volume assesses, taking into consideration its
special context, China's behavior internally and externally to
understand its role and influence in shaping NTCs in the context of
international economic law.

In Performing Anti-Slavery, Gay Gibson Cima reimagines the
connection between the self and the other within activist
performance, providing fascinating new insights into women's
nineteenth-century reform efforts, revising the history of
abolition, and illuminating an affective repertoire that haunts
both present-day theatrical stages and anti-trafficking
organizations. Cima argues that black and white American women in
the nineteenth-century abolitionist movement transformed mainstream
performance practices into successful activism. In family circles,
literary associations, religious gatherings, and transatlantic
anti-slavery societies, women debated activist performance
strategies across racial and religious differences: they staged
abolitionist dialogues, recited anti-slavery poems, gave speeches,
shared narratives, and published essays. Drawing on liberal
religious traditions as well as the Eastern notion of
transmigration, Elizabeth Chandler, Sarah Forten, Maria W. Stewart,
Sarah Douglass, Lucretia Mott, Ellen Craft and others forged
activist pathways that reverberate to this day.
This comprehensive volume provides current state of the art of the
use of corticosteroids in the pediatric patient. It consists of 14
chapters written by leading authors from different countries. The
first chapters cover historical notes, general concepts on
treatment with corticosteroids with regard to indications and side
effects, and basic pharmacologic properties of these compounds. The
rest of the book is devoted to the specific use of steroids in the
different pediatric subspecialties. Despite advances with newer
effective immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory drugs,
corticosteroids still remain the mainstay of therapy for many
disorders. Leading authors in their field have summarized these
concepts to provide an authoritative, comprehensive guide to help
clinicians safely and effectively use corticosteroids in their
pediatric patients.

Early American Women Critics demonstrates that performances of
various kinds - religious, political and cultural - enabled women
to enter the human rights debates that roiled the American colonies
and young republic. Black and white women staked their claims on
American citizenship through disparate performances of spirit
possession, patriotism, poetic and theatrical production. They
protected themselves within various shields which allowed them to
speak openly while keeping the individual basis of their identities
invisible. Cima shows that between the First and Second Great
Religious Awakenings (1730s 1830s), women from West Africa, Europe,
and various corners of the American colonies self-consciously
adopted performance strategies that enabled them to critique
American culture and establish their own diverse and contradictory
claims on the body politic. This book restores the primacy of
religious performances - Christian, Yoruban, Bantu and Muslim - to
the study of early American cultural and political histories,
revealing that religion and race are inseparable.

This book, written by very well-known opinion leaders in the field,
covers all aspects of periodic and non -periodic fevers, and
related disorders. The expression refers to several different
auto-inflammatory diseases, showing similar symptoms-the primary
symptom being a recurrent fever for an infectious cause cannot be
found. The opening chapters give some historical hints, explain the
genetic basis of the disease and provide insights into the
pathogenesis derived from recent experimental studies and guides
the reader through classification and nomenclature. A large part of
the book is then devoted to a detailed description of the specific
related diseases and their clinical presentations, the disease
course, and potential complications in both pediatric and adult
patients. The advice regarding treatment is based on the best
currently available evidence in this constantly evolving area. The
book is part of Springer's series Rare Diseases of the Immune
System, which presents recently acquired knowledge on pathogenesis,
diagnosis, and therapy with the aim of promoting a more holistic
approach to these conditions. Autoinflammatory diseases are
hereditary disorders that are caused by single-gene defects in
innate immune regulatory pathways and are characterized by a
clinical and biological inflammatory syndrome in which there is
limited, if any, evidence of autoimmunity. Periodic and
Non-Periodic Fevers will be an invaluable source of up-to-date
information for all practitioners involved in the care of patients
with these disease.
The Handbook of Forensic Psychopathology and Treatment explores the
relationship between psychopathology and criminal behaviour in
juveniles and adults. It provides a detailed explanation of the
developmental pathway from the process of increasing criminal
behaviour and becoming a forensic patient, to assessment, treatment
and rehabilitation. Incorporating theoretical and scientific
research reviews, as well as reviews regarding forensic
rehabilitation, the book covers the theory, maintenance and
treatment of psychopathology in offenders who have committed a
crime. The Handbook of Forensic Psychopathology and Treatment will
be of interest to masters and postgraduate students studying the
relationship between psychopathology and crime, as well as
researchers and clinicians working in forensic psychiatry
institutions or departments.

Many of the systemic autoimmune diseases seen in children are
different from those seen in adults making them a special problem
for physicians and scientists who care for the affected children
and study their diseases. Benefiting both pediatric and adult
rheumatologists, as well as physicians from other specialties, this
volume covers the latest advances in pathogenesis and clinical
management of common conditions seen in pediatric rheumatology
practices.

Some feminists criticize male playwrights for misrepresenting
and thereby victimizing women through patriarchal narratives; other
feminists applaud selected male playwrights as creators of
"universal" women's roles. In this bold and imaginative book, Gay
Gibson Cima delineates previously unacknowledged complexities in
the relationship between male playwrights and female characters in
the modern theatre. That relationship has been misinterpreted, she
maintains, because the contributions of female actors and the
variations in their actual performance conditions and styles are
too often ignored.
Taking into account hypothetical as well as historical
performances of works by representative male playwrights from Ibsen
to Beckett, Cima sheds important new light on the acting styles
invented by women to create female characters on stage. Changes in
performance style, Cima observes, may alter conventional modes of
viewing and disrupt behavioral codes generated by a patriarchal
cultural system.
Performing Women is essential reading for theatre critics and
historians, feminist theorists, theatre professionals and amateurs,
and others interested in film and the stage.
