Volume 2 of History of Construction Cultures contains papers presented at the 7ICCH – Seventh International Congress on Construction History held at the Lisbon School of Architecture Portugal from 12 to 16 July 2021. The conference has been organized by the Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL) NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities the Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies and the University of the Azores. The contributions cover the wide interdisciplinary spectrum of Construction History and consist on the most recent advances in theory and practical case studies analysis following themes such as: - epistemological issues; - building actors; - building materials; - building machines tools and equipment; - construction processes; - building services and techniques ; -structural theory and analysis ; - political social and economic aspects; - knowledge transfer and cultural translation of construction cultures. Furthermore papers presented at thematic sessions aim at covering important problematics historical periods and different regions of the globe opening new directions for Construction History research. We are what we build and how we build; thus the study of Construction History is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind.

Mammalian Egg Transfer

Mammalian Egg Transfer

Egg transfer was first performed in 1890 but for half a century it received scant attention. However since 1950 the technique has become increasingly widely used - in the laboratory for fundamental studies and more recently in practice both veterinary and medical to boost reproductive potential of genetically superior cattle and to overcome sterility due to impaired rubal function in women. As a result a considerable body of literature has accumulated totaling well in excess of a thousand references. But till now there has not been a single comprehensive text devoted solely to this subject. The present work was designed to meet that need at a time when the field is fast expanding with new techniques and approaches constantly being evolved. One need only cite the tremendous rate of progress in human egg transfer in the last three years. The work embraces laboratory and farm animals and primates including man altogether representing a total of 16 species. | Mammalian Egg Transfer

The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration Theories and Methodologies

The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration Theories and Methodologies

The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration: Theories and Methodologies is a progressive transdisciplinary paradigm-shifting core text for music and migration studies. Conceptualized as a comprehensive methodological and theoretical guide it foregrounds the mobile potentials of music and presents key arguments about why musical expressions matter in the discussion of migration politics. 24 international specialists in music and migration set methodological and theoretical standards for transdisciplinary collaborations in the field of migration studies discussing 41 keywords such as mobility community research ethics human rights and critical whiteness in the context of music and migration. The authors then apply these terms to 16 chapters which deal with ethnomusicological musicological sociological anthropological geographical pedagogical political economic and media-related methodologies and theories which reflect and contest current discourses of migration. In their interdisciplinary focus these chapters advance interrelations between music and migration as enabling factors for socio-cultural studies. Furthermore the authors tackle crucial questions of agency equality and equity as well as the responsibilities and expectations of writers and artists when researching migration phenomena as innate human experience. As a result this handbook provides scholars and students alike with relevant and applicable methodological and theoretical tools in addition to an extensive literature and research review for further research. | The Routledge Handbook of Music and Migration Theories and Methodologies
