Free Download Mapping International Student Mobility Between Africa and China by Benjamin Mulvey
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 130 Pages | ISBN : 9819985080 | 2.6 MB
This book examines an emergent pattern of international student mobility: that of international students from across the African continent who are enrolled on degree programmes at Chinese universities. China is among the most popular destination countries for African students, yet there has been little research to-date into this emergent mobility pattern. Drawing on data from a series of interviews, the book focuses on the specific modalities of integration into the global economy of both the sending region and the host country, and examines how these shape the decision-making, experiences, and future aspirations of mobile students. It also highlights how incipient flows of international student migrants, such as those between various African countries and China, are calling into question a number of the axioms around the study of international study mobility that were developed with reference to more established migration patterns, which tend to flow from other regions to the West. These include, for example, the idea that international students are generally privileged members of the global middle class who seek an education abroad as part of a strategy to accumulate cultural capital and reproduce social privilege. This novel work is of interest to researchers in human geography, sociology, development studies, migration studies, and particularly those studying China-Africa relations.

Free Download Milena Wozniak-Koch, "Mapping Art Collecting in Europe, 1860-1940"
English | ISBN: 3506795430 | 2023 | 346 pages | PDF | 15 MB
The essays featured in this book cover a broad spectrum of topics related to individual identity strategies and art collecting in the late modern era. They give a pan-European perspective on collecting in its various facets, encompassing the history of museums, exhibition policy, art market history, history of taste shaping and provenance research. By showing how collecting mirrored the social problems of modernity, this book indirectly addresses issues such as the sociocultural role of ethnic minorities, the question of women’s emancipation, social exclusion versus inclusion, colonialism and the politicisation of museums. These matters, analysed in the context of private collections, reveal the complexity and relevance of the cultural processes underpinning many social issues that remain the subject of reflection to this day.

Narrator: James Fouhey
The definitive story of the scientists who set out to answer two questions: "Why do we sleep?" and "How can we sleep better?" A century ago, sleep was considered a state of nothingness-even a primitive habit that we could learn to overcome. Then, an immigrant scientist and his assistant spent a month in the depths of a Kentucky cave, making nationwide headlines and thrusting sleep science to the forefront of our consciousness. In the 1920s, Nathaniel Kleitman founded the world’s first dedicated sleep lab at the University of Chicago, where he subjected research participants (including himself) to a dizzying array of tests and tortures.
But the tipping point came in 1938, when his cave experiment awakened the general public to the unknown-and vital-world of sleep. Kleitman went on to mentor the talented but troubled Eugene Aserinsky, whose discovery of REM sleep revealed the astonishing activity of the dreaming brain, and William Dement, a jazz-bass playing revolutionary who became known as the father of sleep medicine. Dement, in turn, mentored the brilliant maverick Mary Carskadon, who uncovered an epidemic of sleep deprivation among teenagers, and launched a global movement to fight it. Award-winning journalist Kenneth Miller weaves together science and history to tell the story of four outsider scientists who took sleep science from fringe discipline to mainstream obsession through spectacular experiments, technological innovation, and single-minded commitment. Listeners will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of sleep and why it affects so much of our lives.

Free Download Mapping Urban Regeneration: City Life Experiences in Yunnan, China
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819935407 | 260 Pages | PDF (True) | 26 MB
This book is an unusual attempt to study urban regeneration. First, it is based on mapping the realities of urban regeneration case study examples and their impacts on people, places, and city life experiences. Second, it is context-specific, exploring only a particular region rather than covering one country or multiple locations. Hence, the aim is to avoid generic and global solutions but rather focus on local pathways and directions. Third, it delves into specific case study examples that could share some lessons for research, practice, and academia, particularly in the field of urban regeneration.

Building a well-planned strategy is key to a cloud adoption that is successful during migration as well as post-migration. In this course, instructor Gary Grudzinskas presents a step-by-step process answering the dilemma of finding the dependencies of an organically grown, on-premises infrastructure. He examines how to categorize it in terms of translation to a service-based cloud infrastructure, and the process of preparing the middleware and making decisions about what to do with applications that can’t easily make it to the cloud. Gary also touches on vendor-specific migration service tools, including those offered by Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
