Female Playwrights and Applied Intersectionality in Romanian Theater

Female Playwrights and Applied Intersectionality in Romanian Theater

In this collection the author focuses on several contemporary Romanian female playwrights with residencies in Europe and the U. S. : Alexandra Badea Carmen-Francesca Banciu Alexa Băcanu Ana Sorina Corneanu Mihaela Drăgan Dr. Cătălina Florina Florescu Dr. Mihaela Michailov Dr. Domnica Rădulescu Saviana Stănescu and Dr. Elise Wilk. In their bold works written by female playwrights who are academics activists and performers we are invited to discover variations in the modus operandi of the dramatic language itself from metaphorical to matter-of-fact approaches. Furthermore while all these playwrights speak Romanian they also think and operate in various other languages such as Romani German French Italian and American English. This book facilitates scholars and students to discover contemporary issues related to Romanian society as presented heavily from a feminine angle and to reveal intersectional issues as seen and applied to dramatic characters in a post-communist country from some authors who experienced communism firsthand. The book is also an invitation to reinvent how we teach dramatic literature by offering 20 interactive exploratory activities. | Female Playwrights and Applied Intersectionality in Romanian Theater

A Programing Contingency Analysis of Mental Health

A Programing Contingency Analysis of Mental Health

A Programing Contingency Analysis of Mental Health presents Dr. Israel Goldiamond’s reflections on various ways we formulate behavioral and emotional problems most often in traditional terms of mental health disorders mental diseases or illnesses psychopathological disorders and so on – what he calls a pathological orientation. Here Goldiamond argues for a groundbreaking alternative view from the vantage point of radical behaviorism. The book begins by discussing contingency relations between behavior and its past and present consequences along with other environmental events. It reminds us that this approach sits comfortably alongside other consequential systems in the social and biological sciences particularly decision theory and evolution. This behaviorist system regards most important human behaviors as being emitted rather than stimulus-elicited. Described are some of the diverse origins of behavior including the effects of environmental consequences and the programing procedures of social and cultural inheritance. The exposition includes decision matrices which rationalize some of the programed patterns and the accompanying thoughts and emotions commonly found in mental illness. As a result of this nonlinear contingency analysis such patterns may be considered adaptive rather than maladaptive. The book describes programs based on those matrices and outlines how they might be applied to mitigate any problems or costs associated with those patterns. The book concludes by moving from individual analysis to social analysis with particular reference to some societal contingencies that may maintain the pathological orientation and others that might shift our gaze in the direction proposed here. Alongside Dr. Goldiamond’s original work this volume features a new introduction from Dr. Paul Thomas Andronis and Dr. T. V. Joe Layng as well as an article tracing the history of the non-linear thinking of Dr. Goldiamond first published in The Behavior Analyst. It will be a must-read for anyone working in the analysis of and clinical intervention in problems associated with mental health or those more generally interested in the work of Israel Goldiamond.

Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory

Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory

One of the masters in the differential equations community the late F. V. Atkinson contributed seminal research to multiparameter spectral theory and Sturm-Liouville theory. His ideas and techniques have long inspired researchers and continue to stimulate discussion. With the help of co-author Angelo B. Mingarelli Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems: Sturm-Liouville Theory reflects much of Dr. Atkinson’s final work. After covering standard multiparameter problems the book investigates the conditions for eigenvalues to be real and form a discrete set. It gives results on the determinants of functions presents oscillation methods for Sturm-Liouville systems and other multiparameter systems and offers an alternative approach to multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problems in the case of two equations and two parameters. In addition to discussing the distribution of eigenvalues and infinite limit-points of the set of eigenvalues the text focuses on proofs of the completeness of the eigenfunctions of a multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problem involving finite intervals. It also explores the limit-point limit-circle classification as well as eigenfunction expansions. A lasting tribute to Dr. Atkinson’s contributions that spanned more than 40 years this book covers the full multiparameter theory as applied to second-order linear equations. It considers the spectral theory of multiparameter problems in detail for both regular and singular cases. | Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory
