What can culture, and its manifestations in artistic and creative
forms, 'do'? Creativity and resistance in a hostile world draws on
original collaborative research that brings together a range of
stories and perspectives on the role of creativity and resistance
in a hostile world. In times of racial nationalism across the
world, this volume seeks to understand how creative acts have
agitated for social change. The book suggests that creative actions
themselves, and acting together creatively, can at the same time
offer vital sources of hope. Drawing on a series of case studies,
this volume focuses on the past and emergent grassroots arts work
that has responded to racisms, the legacies of colonialism or the
depredations of capitalist employment across several contexts and
locations, including England, Northern Ireland and India. The book
makes a timely intervention, foregrounding the value of creativity
for those who are commonly marginalised from centres of power,
including from the mainstream cultural industries. The authors also
critically reflect on the possibilities and limitations of
collaborative research within and beyond the academy. -- .
Previous research on this topic has not focused on
nutrition-specific social support for elderly women. This unique
study seeks to describe and explore the current situation in a
group of elderly women living alone in government subsidized
housing.
This book provides scholarly perspectives on a range of timely
concerns in Irish diaspora studies. It offers a focal point for
fresh interchanges and theoretical insights on questions of
identity, Irishness, historiography and the academy's role in all
of these. In doing so, it chimes with the significant public
debates on Irish and Irish emigrant identities that have emerged
from Ireland's The Gathering initiative (2013) and that continue to
reverberate throughout the Decade of Centenaries (2012-2023) in
Ireland, North and South. In ten chapters of new research on key
areas of concern in this field, the book sustains a conversation
centred on three core questions: what is diaspora in the Irish
context and who does it include/exclude? What is the view of
Ireland and Northern Ireland from the diaspora? How can new
perspectives in the academy engage with a more rigorous and probing
theorisation of these concerns? This thought-provoking work will
appeal to students and scholars of history, geography, literature,
sociology, tourism studies and Irish studies.

Exploring writing of working-class Dublin after Sean O'Casey, this
book breaks new ground in Irish Studies, unearthing submerged
narratives of class in Irish life. Examining how working-class
identity is depicted by authors like Brendan Behan and Roddy Doyle,
it discusses how this hidden, urban Ireland has appeared in the
country's literature.
This handbook provides the first comprehensive overview of the
emerging field of glycomics, defined as the study of all complex
carbohydrates in an organism or cell ("the glycome"). Beginning
with analytic approaches and bioinformatics, this work provides a
detailed discussion of relevant databases, data integration, and
analysis. It then moves on to a discussion of specific model
organism and pathogen glycomes followed by therapeutic approaches
to human disorders of glycosylization. Structure and function of
glycomes are included along with state-of-the-art technologies and
systems approaches to the analysis of glycans.
* Synthesizes contributions from experts in biology, chemistry,
bioinformatics, biotechnology, and medicine
* Highlights chapters devoted to chemical synthesis, cancer
glycomics and immune cell glycomics
* Includes discussions of proteomics, mass spectrometry, NMR, array
technology, and transcriptomics analytic approaches
