Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"Perovskite-Based Solar Cells: From Fundamentals to Tandem Devices"
gives fundamental understanding of perovskite solar cells from the
chemical composition of each thin layer composing the different
stacks to the whole device. Special attention has been given to the
development of the materials forming the perovskite solar cell and
their effect on the device performance, in addition to the recent
progress of this emerging technology. Moreover, light has been shed
on the perovskite elaboration techniques, in addition to the
several techniques proposed to improve both the efficiency and the
stability of perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, special emphasis
was given to the three types of tandem solar cells and their recent
advances starting from Perovskite/perovskite tandem solar cells to
Perovskite/ CIGS tandem cells to perovskite/ heterojunction silicon
tandem solar cells. The latter constitute a promising solution to
improve photovoltaic solar cells performance.
Our world is facing unprecedented technological and ethical
challenges. Such is the complexity of today's business environment,
that sustained long-term success is impossible without a much
broader outlook than that fostered by current management school
practice. This book draws on centuries of Japanese tradition in
honourable behaviour, comparing and contrasting it with
developments in the West, to create a new approach powerful enough
to meet the challenges of operating in today's global business
environment.
As schools continue to explore the transition from traditional
education to teaching and learning online, new instructional design
frameworks are needed that can support with the development of
e-learning content. The e-learning frameworks examined within this
book have eight dimensions: (1) institutional, (2) pedagogical, (3)
technological, (4) interface design, (5) evaluation, (6)
management, (7) resource support, and (8) ethical. Each of these
dimensions contains a group of concerns or issues that need to be
examined to assess and develop an institutions e-capability in
order to introduce the best e-learning practices. Challenges and
Opportunities for the Global Implementation of E-Learning
Frameworks presents global perspectives on the latest best
practices and success stories of institutions that were able to
effectively implement e-learning frameworks. An e-learning
framework is used as a guide to examine e-learning practices in
countries around the globe to reflect on opportunities and
challenges for implementing quality learning. In this book,
therefore, tips for success factors and issues relevant to failures
will be presented along with an analysis of similarities and
differences between several countries and educational lessons.
While highlighting topics such as course design and development,
ICT use in the classroom, and e-learning for different subjects,
this book is ideal for university leaders, practitioners in
e-learning, continuing education institutions, government agencies,
course developers, in-service and preservice teachers,
administrators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers,
academicians, and students seeking knowledge on how e-learning
frameworks are being implemented across the globe.
This book brings together education research and practice carried
out by An-Najah National University, a lead Higher Institution in
Palestine that managed to move from a face-to-face setting to a
fully online learning and teaching environment during the initial
COVID-19 outbreak, within a month, seamlessly, which makes a
success cases study of virtualization. This book concentrates on
approaches to ensure the continuous improvement and quality of
higher education provision across the country, with particular
focus on: a) learning and teaching methodologies in online
settings; b) use of open education as a key resource; and c)
development of academic capability building, along with academic
and knowledge exchange with other higher education partners.
Innovative ideas, best practices, and comparative case studies are
presented, discussed, and compared with international ones to make
specific recommendations for a successful and sustainable
implementation.
The making of a culture of Black male respectability at Morehouse
that underlines conservative notions of gender and class-by a
former Spelman student who was once "Miss Morehouse." How does it
feel to be groomed as the "solution" to a national Black male
"problem"? This is the guiding paradox of Respectable, an in-depth
examination of graduates of Morehouse College, the nation's only
historically Black college for men. While Black male collegians are
often culturally fetishized for "beating the odds," the image of
Black male success that Morehouse assiduously promotes and
celebrates is belied by many of the realities that challenge the
students on this campus. Saida Grundy offers a unique insider
perspective: a graduate of Spelman college and a former "Miss
Morehouse," Grundy crafts an incisive feminist and sociological
account informed by her personal insights and scholarly expertise.
Respectable gathers the experiences of former students and others
connected to Morehouse to illustrate the narrow, conservative
vision of masculinity molded at a competitive Black institution.
The thirty-two men interviewed unveil a culture that forges
confining ideas of respectable Black manhood within a context of
relentless peer competition and sexual violence, measured against
unattainable archetypes of idealized racial leadership. Grundy
underlines the high costs of making these men-the experiences of
low-income students who navigate class issues at Morehouse, the
widespread homophobia laced throughout the college's notions of
Black male respectability, and the crushingly conformist
expectations of a college that sees itself as making "good" Black
men. As Morehouse's problems continue to pour out into national
newsfeeds, this book contextualizes these issues not as a defect of
Black masculinity, but as a critique of what happens when an
institution services an imagination of what Black men should be, at
the expense of more fully understanding the many ways these young
people see themselves.

The last three decades have witnessed a proliferation of
nongovernmental organizations engaging in new campaigns to end the
practice of female genital cutting across Africa. These campaigns
have in turn spurred new institutions, discourses, and political
projects, bringing about unexpected social transformations, both
intended and unintended. Consequently, cutting is waning across the
continent. At the same time, these endings are misrecognized and
disavowed by public and scholarly discourses across the political
spectrum. What does it mean to say that while cutting is ending,
the Western discourse surrounding it is on the rise? And what kind
of a feminist anthropology is needed in such a moment? The Twilight
of Cutting examines these and other questions from the vantage
point of Ghanaian feminist and reproductive health NGOs that have
organized campaigns against cutting for over thirty years. The book
looks at these NGOs not as solutions but as sites of
"problematization." The purpose of understanding these Ghanaian
campaigns, their transnational and regional encounters, and the
forms of governmentality they produce is not to charge them with
providing answers to the question, how do we end cutting? Instead,
it is to account for their work, their historicity, the life worlds
and subjectivities they engender, and the modes of reflection,
imminent critique, and opposition they set in motion.
Die Geschlechterverhaltnisse verandern sich heute in
widerspruchlicher Weise. Zunehmender Gleichheit in Beruf und
Beziehungen fur manche Frauen stehen vertiefte intersektionale
Ungleichheiten nach Klasse, Migration und Geschlecht gegenuber. Der
Band untersucht diese Veranderungen in den Koerpern, Emotionen und
Subjektivitaten und er betrachtet die neoliberalen geschlechtlichen
Neuformierungen von Staat und globaler Politik. Was bedeuten die
Nutzung weiblicher 'Potenziale' in verschiedenen Klassen, die
Flexibilisierung von Mannlichkeiten oder die zunehmende Akzeptanz
von Homosexualitat und sexueller Vielfalt in staatlichen Politiken?
Und inwiefern koennen leitende Theorieansatze diese Veranderungen
erfassen? Wie muss man Geschlecht, Globalisierung oder Kapitalismus
(neu) denken, um die Transformationen zu verstehen?
