In this book, the ERECO-PGV[1] network wishes to make an overview
of the cooperation implemented by and in the European Union and to
describe the concrete forms they have taken. The issue is to
analyze the internal European cooperation between economic actors,
politicians, and EU citizens at different levels, but also to focus
attention on the external cooperation (neighborhood policies,
external policies, and collaborations with international
institutions: NATO, OECD, WTO, etc.). Carrying uncompromising
attention on this issue means rethinking the European project in
light of today's challenges. From the very beginning, the EU was
based on and called for forms of multinational cooperation,
bilateral (internal and external) at different levels, involving
economic actors, public actors, local authorities, and civil
society. The frameworks for this cooperation as well as for the
successive enlargements of the EU were drawn up in the context of
European negotiations, in particular during discussions on the
European Treaties. European values, standards, and rules are
embodied in the texts of agreements, resolutions, and European
directives and Treaties signed by all member countries. They
establish the functioning of European institutions and the
framework of democratic life in Europe. The emergence of current
crises (Brexit, COVID-19, migration crisis, non-respect of rule of
law rules, refusal of certain member countries to apply the
European Charter of Human Rights, etc.) is questioning the project
of the European Union and introduced the challenges which should be
overcome by the proposal of the new project able to face the
internal complexity of the Union and to answer to the pressure of a
conflicting international context. What remains of the European
ideal affirmed in the treaties of 1957, 1992, and 2007? How to
"re-enchant" the common project? Yet, the European Union remains
attractive to new candidate countries. How do they read the
integration conditions into the EU with regard to their own
projects?
Overworked and Undervalued: Black Women and Successin America is a
collection of essays written by Black female scholars, educators,
and students as well as public policy, behavioral, and mental
health professionals. The contributors' share their experiences and
frustrations with White America which continues to demand excessive
labor and one-sided relationships of Black women while it
simultaneously diminishes them. The book describes the ongoing
struggle for women of color in general, but Black women in
particular, which derives from the experience that only certain
parts of our identities are deemed acceptable. The essays reflect
on the events of the last few years and the toll the related stress
has taken on each author. As a whole, the book offers its readers
an opportunity to gain insight into these women's experiences and
to find their place in supporting the Black women in their lives.
This short but complicated book is very demanding of any reader.
The scope and style employed preserve the nature of its subject:
the turbulence phe nomena in gas and liquid flows which are
believed to occur at sufficiently high Reynolds numbers. Since at
first glance the field of interest is chaotic, time-dependent and
three-dimensional, spread over a wide range of scales, sta tistical
treatment is convenient rather than a description of fine details
which are not of importance in the first place. When coupled to the
basic conserva tion laws of fluid flow, such treatment, however,
leads to an unclosed system of equations: a consequence termed, in
the scientific community, the closure problem. This is the central
and still unresolved issue of turbulence which emphasizes its chief
peculiarity: our inability to do reliable predictions even on the
global flow behavior. The book attempts to cope with this difficult
task by introducing promising mathematical tools which permit an
insight into the basic mechanisms involved. The prime objective is
to shed enough light, but not necessarily the entire truth, on the
turbulence closure problem. For many applications it is sufficient
to know the direction in which to go and what to do in order to
arrive at a fast and practical solution at minimum cost. The book
is not written for easy and attractive reading."
The book offers a sound, easily readable theoretical back- ground for dependability prediction and analysis of enginee- ring systems. The book bridges the gap between the real life dependability problems and very sophisticated and highly specialized books in this field. It is addressed to a broad readership including practicing engineers, reliability ana- lysts and postgraduate students of engineering faculties. The professionals in the field may also find some new mate- rial that is not covered in available textbooks such as fuz- zy logic evaluation of dependability performance, uncertain- ty assessment, open loop sequential analysis of discrete state stochastic processes, approximate solving of Markov systems.
This book, dedicated to Professor Georgi M. Dimirovski on his
anniversary, contains new research directions, challenges, and many
relevant applications related to many aspects within the broadly
perceived areas of systems and control, including signal analysis
and intelligent systems. The project comprises two volumes with
papers written by well known and very active researchers and
practitioners. The first volume is focused on more foundational
aspects related to general issues in systems science and
mathematical systems, various problems in control and automation,
and the use of computational and artificial intelligence in the
context of systems modeling and control. The second volume is
concerned with a presentation of relevant applications, notably in
robotics, computer networks, telecommunication, fault
detection/diagnosis, as well as in biology and medicine, and
economic, financial, and social systems too.

The present study represents the first attempt to expand the
methodological and practical framework of textual scholarship on
the Greek New Testament from an Orthodox perspective. Its focus is
on the Antoniades edition of 1904, commonly known as the
Patriarchal Edition. The examination of the creation and reception
of this edition shows that its textual principles are often
misrepresented. In particular, it is shown to be more closely
related to the Textus Receptus than to lectionary manuscripts. This
is confirmed by an analysis of lectionary manuscripts using the
Text und Textwert methodology and a detailed comparison of the
Antoniades edition with the recent Editio Critica Maior of the
Catholic Epistles. A textual commentary is provided on key verses
in order to formulate guidelines for preparing an edition of the
Greek New Testament that would satisfy the needs of Orthodox users
in different contexts. This study offers a foundation for the
further development of New Testament textual scholarship from an
Orthodox perspective, informed both by modern critical scholarship
and Orthodox tradition. It also provides a fresh translation of
Antoniades' introduction in an Appendix.
This volume is a sequel to the much-appreciated The Cauchy Method
of Residues published in 1984 (also by Kluwer under the D.Reidel
imprint). Volume 1 surveyed the main results published in the
period 1814--1982. The present volume contains various results
which were omitted from the first volume, some results mentioned
briefly in Volume 1 and discussed here in greater detail, and new
results published since 1982. It also contains short expositions,
by various authors, dealing with new and interesting aspects of the
theory and applications of residues. This volume will be of
interest to researchers and graduate students in complex analysis,
and also physicists and engineers whose work involves the
application of complex functions.
The contributors to The Black Geographic explore the theoretical
innovations of Black Geographies scholarship and how it approaches
Blackness as historically and spatially situated. In studies that
span from Oakland to the Alabama Black Belt to Senegal to Brazil,
the contributors draw on ethnography, archival records, digital
humanities, literary criticism, and art to show how understanding
the spatial dimensions of Black life contributes to a broader
understanding of race and space. They examine key sites of inquiry:
Black spatial imaginaries, resistance to racial violence, the
geographies of racial capitalism, and struggles over urban space.
Throughout, the contributors demonstrate that Blackness is itself a
situating and place-making force, even as it is shaped by spatial
processes and diasporic routes. Whether discussing eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century abolitionist print records or migration and
surveillance in Niger, this volume demonstrates that Black
Geographies is a mode of analyzing Blackness that fundamentally
challenges the very foundations of the field of geography and its
historical entwinement with colonialism, enslavement, and
imperialism. In short, it marks a new step in the evolution of the
field. Contributors. Anna Livia Brand, C.N.E. Corbin, Lindsey

Written by an interdisciplinary collective of authors, this
powerful book documents the largely unknown histories and politics
of trans lives, activisms, and culture across the post-Yugoslav
states. The volume sheds light on a diversity of gender embodiments
and explores how they have navigated the murky waters of war,
capitalism, and transphobia while forging a niche for themselves
within the regional and transnational LGBTQ movements. By
unleashing the knowledge concentrated in trans lives, this book not
only resists trans erasures in Eastern Europe, but also underscores
the potential for survival, self-transformation, and engagement in
politically challenging circumstances.
