This book examines strengths-based approaches to understanding and
celebrating diverse populations. It centers on understanding the
ways in which minoritized group identities and membership in such
communities can serve as sources of strength. The volume explores
the varied dimensions of minoritized identities and challenges
traditional concepts of what it means to be resilient. It presents
research-based and innovative strategies to understand more
thoroughly the role of resilience and strengths in diverse
populations and families. The book addresses the need to consider
affirmative, liberation, and strengths-based models of resilience.
Key areas of coverage include: Families of transgender and gender
diverse people. The role of chosen family in LGBTQ communities.
Latinx LGBTQ families. The Indian Child Welfare Act. Celebration of
Black girl voices. Homeschooling as a resilience factor for Black
families. Black identity and resilience related to mental health.
Black resilience in families. Identity as Resilience in Minoritized
Communities is a must-have resource for researchers, professors,
and graduate students as well as clinicians and related
professionals in developmental psychology, family studies, clinical
child and school psychology, cultural psychology, social work, and
public health as well as education policy and politics, behavioral
health, psychiatry, and all related disciplines.
Since the introduction of balloon angioplasty for the relief of
coronary artery stenoses and of anginal symptoms in patients with
coronary artery disease by Andreas Griintzig in 1977, the field of
interventional technology and treatment strategies has grown
enormously. For the reduction of hemodynamically significant
coronary artery stenoses balloon angioplasty is the standard and
reference method with a high primary success and low complication
rate. Because of the relatively high recurrence rates of 30-40% of
balloon angioplasty a whole family of different angioplasty
techniques has been developed since then. Among those are
atherectomy devices, laser angioplasty, radiofrequency angioplasty,
high and low speed rotational angioplasty and stenting of stenosed
vessels. Balloon angioplasty has been extended to aortic and mitral
valve stenoses, and supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias
can now be treated by catherter ablation techniques. In 1989 an
International Symposium on standard and newer inter ventional
techniques has been held at the University of Ulm. This volume
contains the essential parts and presentations of the international
faculty of experts in the field. In four chapters the principles,
advantages, pitfalls and future developments of coronary
angiopiasty, angioplasty of peripheral arteries, balloon
valvuloplasty and of catheter ablation of supraventricular and
ventricular tachycardias are described in detail. We hope that this
'State-of-the-Art' representation will be of great value for both
the non expert reader and the active researcher in the fields
addressed within the book. V. Hombach, M. Kochs and A. J. Camm ix

Reinaldo Arenas was born to a poverty-stricken family in rural
Cuba. By the time of his death in New York four decades later, he
had become one of Cuba's most important poets, an outspoken critic
of Castro's regime and one of the leading gay voices of the
twentieth century. In Before Night Falls, Arenas tells of his
odyssey from young rebel fighting for the Revolution, through his
suppression as a writer, his disillusionment with Castro, his
imprisonment and torture, to his eventual exile from Cuba to New
York, where in 1987 he was diagnosed with AIDS. He committed
suicide in 1990, ending a life of constant struggle against
repression. In a farewell note, Arenas wrote: Due to my delicate
state of health and to the terrible depression that causes me not
to be able to continue writing and struggling for the freedom of
Cuba, I am ending my life ... I do not want to convey to you a
message of defeat, but of continued struggle and hope. Cuba will be
free. I already am. (signed) Reinaldo Arenas

The continental tradition in philosophy has gotten more
"materialistic" over the last two hundred years. This has resulted
from a combination of some very specific moves with regard to the
epistemological parameters of understanding and the assertion that
ideas may have material force in history. Therefore, the
materialism within the continental tradition is not a materiality
of being, but a materiality of understanding and action. Such an
inquiry opens up space between the activities of sensation and the
mental faculty of cognition. 'I think, therefore I am,' is not an
empirical statement, but a statement of cognition. It is assumed
that this distinction is at the core of continental philosophy.
Cognition is always interpretive. Experience is the start of
cognition, but not its final product. Our cognitions cannot be
separated from our experience of the physical, social, and cultural
environment around us. The symbolic nature of language reinforces
the interpretive nature of our thoughts and ideas. Our language is,
therefore, always projecting an implicit image of the world.
Language is, therefore, always political. The materiality of these
cognitive world-views is manifested in two ways. First, in their
formation. They are the products of sensual contact with the world.
Second, in their effects. They move people. It is a picture of the
world which serves to shape the content and character of human
behavior. Whether we want to call these phantoms of the mind,
world-view, ideas, thoughts, cognitions, or any other term, the
dual character of their materiality is secure. This work examines
the threads materialist ideas running through the efforts of some
major authors in the continental tradition in philosophy. A model
of materialism is constructed in Chapter One and used to assess the
materialist elements in works from Kant, Marx, Weber, Nietzsche,
and contemporary poststructuralism. The work demonstrates the
evolution of materialist thinking within the tradition and asserts
an evolving and developing articulation of materialism in relation
to the thoughts and activities of human beings.

In 2008, the Sensors Exploitation Research Group at the Air Force
Institute of Technology began using spectral properties of skin for
the detection and classi cation of humans. Since then a
multispectral skin detection system was developed to exploit the
optical properties of human skin at wavelengths in the visible and
near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. A rules-based
detector, analyzing an image spectrally, currently bases its skin
pixel selection criteria on a di use skin reflectance model.
However, when observing skin in direct view of the sun, a glint of
light o skin is common and indicates specularity. The areas of skin
with a high degree of specular reflectance, results in
misdetections. We show that skin is characterized by di use and
specular reflectance, with both components dependent on the scene
con guration. While we cannot always rely on the person to directly
face the camera or have constant illumination conditions, it is
important to have flexibility with the rules-based detector as the
scene changes. Our research better characterizes skin reflectance
as a function of source and detector angular locations to improve
on the rules-based detector.
"This barrio angel teaches us how to see behind the appearance of things and how to embrace reality with all the senses." --Isabel Allende
"Laura Restrepo breathes life into a singular amalgam of journalistic investigation and literary creation. Her fascination with popular culture and the play of her impeccable humor, of that biting but at the same time tender irony . . . infuses them with unmistakable reading pleasures." --Gabriel García Márquez
Winner of Mexico's Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize, and France's Prix France Culture, The Angel of Galilea introduces a refreshing new voice in Latin American literature to the English speaking audience.
Mona is a jaded reporter for a Colombian tabloid sent on assignment to investigate an angel sighting in one of Bogotá's most devastated barrios, where she encounters a community torn apart by a passionate conflict over a beautiful man who walks the fine line between sanity and sainthood. For the people of Galilea, this mysterious and sensual "angel without a name" represents their hope amidst desperate circumstances; for Mona, he awakens her desire to love and gives her a reason to believe. When the barrio's priest leads a revolt against the fallen angel, Mona risks everything to protect him from the gang that threatens to destroy him.
