Queer Ecofeminism: From Binary Environmental Endeavours to Postgender Pursuits navigates environmental politics by revisiting ecofeminism through an intersectional lens that enmeshes climate justice with matters revolving around sexuality, gender, race, and far-right politics. Asmae Ourkiya focuses on deconstructing essentialised conceptualisations of femininities, masculinities, and gender identities and reintroduces humanity as a species with much potential that is yet to be unlocked if only “biological sex�, skin color, and indigeneity would not be classist factors shaping humans into hierarchical classes. This work draws from analyzing a diverse and carefully chosen selection of artwork, film productions, and historical events to showcase the potency of ecofeminism. this work draws from analyzing a diverse and carefully chosen selection of artwork, film productions, and historical events to showcase the potency of ecofeminism.

The theme for the 2021 conference was System-in-Package (SiP) technology. Papers include discussions on board and system level failure analysis; detecting counterfeit microelectronics; emerging failure analysis techniques and concepts; future challenges of failure analysis; scanning probe analysis; hardware attacks, security, and reverse engineering; microscopy and material characterization; nanoprobing and electrical characterization; and more. In the 21st century, the electronic market will be driven by consumers with demands of immediate entertainment, fast access to information, and communications anywhere in a personalized fashion and at affordable prices. The new challenge is not how many transistors can be built on a single chip, as in System-on-Chip (SoC), but rather how to integrate diverse circuits together predictably, harmoniously, and cost effectively. Instead of getting twice the transistors for the same cost as Moore's Law predicted in the past 50 years, the goal of SiP is to obtain the same number of transistors for half the cost within less than half the time to market.

Modi: The Wheels of Change is a biography of Narendra Damodardas Modi, the 15th and current Prime Minister of India. It provides a compilation on the subject related to the Modi's electoral commitment, day to day work and governance of BJP during the second six month of their rule. It chronicles and documents events from the contemporary political scene in India.This revealing biography draws its material from governmental papers, articles and news items published nationally and internationally, as well as new media sources. Modi: Wheels of Change speaks to readers and researchers alike and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and daily practice of the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and the practice of governance incontemporary India.

Space physiology and space medicine are fairly recent sciences, born of the desire to launch man into space and bring him safely back again. Weightlessness and cosmic radiation - conditions which can neither be adequately simulated nor reproduced on earth - are on the other hand used as research tools for medical experiments, in particular in the fields of neurophysiology, internal medicine as well as genetics and radiation dosimetry. The newly established Austrian Society for Aerospace Medicine provides a basis for multidisciplinary approaches to spaceflight biomedical research. Diagnostic, prognostic and elective, operational and preventive measures can be fostered by activities of the Society. In October 1991 the first Austrian was launched into orbital flight and fulfilled an ambitious scientific program which was dominated by life science experiments in the areas of cardiovascular medicine, fluid-electrolyte research, neurophysiology, endocrinology, genetics, and radiation biology. The results from these experiments, presented in this book, will help to improve the management of biomedical problems in daily life.

This open access book, comprising thirty-nine chapters divided into social, cultural, economic, and political spheres, offers a unique opportunity to dive into the complex, dynamic, and sometimes contradictory transformation of Gulf societies in the last few decades. Whilst the Gulf region has at times been seen as impervious to this natural phenomenon of transformation—timeless, never changing, deeply rooted in its ancient tribal customs and traditions and able to blend past and present seamlessly without suffering the wrenching trauma of change—this is clearly not the case, and the region is not immune to the inevitable forces of social change. There is no doubt today that the social change sweeping the Gulf has been profound, affecting almost every aspect of life in the Gulf societies. This volume has an encyclopedic value as the chapters collectively offer multifaceted and multidisciplinary perspectives to understand social change in the Gulf region. Through these chapters, the role of economic and educational transformation, and the impact of social media, migration, and urbanization have in driving social change in the Gulf societies is examined in detail with a focus on their directions, magnitudes, and relevant policy options. It also considers how COVID-19 is affecting the lives of the people in the Gulf. This book bridges gaps in the understanding of the rapid pace of social change in the Gulf, offering practical solutions for policy interventions. It is of interest to scholars and students in Middle Eastern studies, specifically, as well as sociology, media studies, migration studies, and educational policy.
