This Element focuses on phonetic and phonological development in
multilinguals and presents a novel methodological approach to it
within Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST). We will show how the
traditional conceptualisations of acquisition with a strong focus
on linear, incremental development with a stable endpoint can be
complemented by a view of language development as emergent,
self-organised, context-dependent and highly variable across
learners. We report on a longitudinal study involving 16 learners
with L1 German, L2 English and L3 Polish. Over their ten months of
learning Polish, the learners' perception and production of various
speech sounds and phonological processes in all of their languages
were investigated. Auditory and acoustic analyses were applied
together with group and individual learner statistical analyses to
trace the dynamic changes of their multilingual phonological system
over time. We show how phonetic and phonological development is
feature-dependent and inter-connected and how learning experience
affects the process.

Street College of Education Best Book of 2022 War has come to the
idyllic town of Rondo. Can three gentle but brave friends stop
War's destruction and save their beloved home? Danko, Zirka, and
Fabian live peacefully in the small town of Rondo, a magical and
joyful place where even the flowers sing! Everything is perfect ...
until the fateful day that War arrives. Having never experienced
War, the inhabitants don't know what to do. They try to talk to it
and fight it, but nothing seems to stop the spread of War's
destruction and darkness. Harnessing the power of light, community,
and song, Danko, Zirka, and Fabian, along with all their neighbors,
must rally together to lead Rondo to victory. How War Changed Rondo
reflects the darkness and pain that conflict bring and the wounds
that linger long after it's over. This picture book serves as a
tribute to peace, resistance, and hope, and was written and
illustrated by Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv, a
husband-and-wife duo from Ukraine.
In The Responsible Fashion Company, Rinaldi and Testa argue that
the fashion industry is at a crossroads: the need for a global
shift to a sustainable model has never been more urgent. Yet, they
demonstrate that we are witnessing a revolution led by conscious
consumers and enlightened companies, who are redefining the rules
of the fashion market. The question is: when will the rest of the
industry catch up? Rinaldi and Testa raise a fundamental but often
neglected issue in the fashion sustainability debate: long-term
equilibrium can only be achieved by integrating economic goals with
environmental, social and ethical values. "The Responsible Fashion
Company" provides a clear overview of the theory, challenges and
opportunities of sustainability in the industry and demonstrates
how fashion companies can achieve competitive advantage through
sustainable innovation. The authors show how leading fashion
companies are challenging traditional thinking and present
inspiring examples from pioneers such as Gucci, Levi's, Timberland
and Brunello Cucinelli, who create quality products without leaving
a negative impact behind. Refreshing and timely, The Responsible
Fashion Company is essential reading for the socially conscious
consumer and anyone with a professional or personal interest in the
fashion, design and luxury industries.

The field of electromagnetics has seen considerable advances in
recent years, based on the wide applications of numerical methods
for investigating electromagnetic fields, microwaves, and other
devices. Wide-Band Slow-Wave Systems: Simulation and Applications
presents new technical solutions and research results for the
analysis, synthesis, and design of slow-wave structures for modern
electronic devices with super-wide pass-bands. It makes available,
for the first time in English, significant research from the past
20 years that was previously published only in Russian and
Lithuanian. The authors examine electrodynamics, multiconductor
lines, and numerical methods for the modeling, simulation,
analysis, and design of various super-wide-band slow-wave
structures, including helical, meander, and gutter-type systems.
The book features: The electrodynamic method for analysis of
helical structures containing periodical inhomogeneities The
multiconductor line method for analysis of complex helical,
meander, and gutter-type wide-band slow-wave structures The method
of moments for modeling and analysis of multiconductor lines
containing a limited number of lines and meander structures with
limited length Use of powerful software systems Microwave Office
(R), MICROWAVE STUDIO (R), and MATLAB (R) for modeling, analysis,
and design A synergy of various methods for investigating and
designing wide-band slow-wave structures Solution of specific
problems related to the design of wide-band and super-wide-band
electrodynamic delay and deflection systems Principles of
computer-aided design of slow-wave structures Presenting the
theory, principles, properties, and applications of wide-band and
super-wide-band slow-wave structures, this book will be of interest
to students, engineers, researchers, and designers in the fields of
electronic and microwave engineering.

As the demand for food banks and other emergency food charities
continues to rise across the continent, this is the first
systematic Europe-wide study of the roots and consequences of this
urgent phenomenon. Leading researchers provide case studies from

`EACH TASK, EVEN THE MOST COMPLICATED ONE, SHOULD BE STARTED IN THE
SIMPLEST WAY' As the daughter of well-known mathematicians, Flora
loves to count more than anything in the world. She counts all the
things around her, all the animals, grains of sand on the beach and
letters in her Dad's newspaper. When Dora looks at the Milky Way,
she begins to wonder how to count the mesmerising number of stars.
Is it even possible? Is the night sky so full of stars that even
all the numbers she knows would not be enough to count them? Dora
soon learns that she needs to deal with such a complicated task by
starting with the simplest of steps, and who knows, maybe one day,
she will achieve her dream.
Some key data about the future of the fashion industry highlight
the need for immediate action. The increase of clothing consumption
will generate an increase in the use of resources and generation of
waste. On the other hand, the demand of LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health
& Sustainability) consumers is increasing, also in luxury. The
book will be investigating the key drivers that are reshaping the
fashion industry towards the 4th Industrial Revolution, including
traceability and transparency, circularity, collaborative
consumption, new technologies, fair trade, B-corporations.The
Author supports the thesis that the most innovative business models
in the fashion sector will be based on a value proposition that
integrates ethics, aesthetics and innovation, offering product
customization, planning the activities for consumer's participation
in the company's operations, digitalization, and use of technology
in order to optimize the processes along the value chain.
During early modern European expansion, America emerged as dynamic
meeting ground, continuously forging multidirectional global
encounters. Relating Continents dismisses the semantics of
‘encounter’ which, in the politics of naming, euphemistically
substitutes invasive violence, but invests in the notion’s
dimension as an enactment of literary, cultural, and social
relations, fusing people, goods, texts, artifacts, ideas, and
senses of belonging. Understanding the practice of relating as both
connecting and narrating, this anthology investigates the linking
of continents in Romance literary and cultural history, as well as
the tales of entanglement produced in the process. The contributors
revisit the worldwide impact of distant or in-person negotiations
between conquerors and local actors; they assess how colonial
interventions shift hemispheric native networks, and they examine
the ties between America, Africa, and Asia. By doing so, they prove
the global constitution of early modern Spanish and Portuguese
American literatures, their historical and cultural contexts, and
their long-lasting legacies.
