Healing in the Kingdom

Healing in the Kingdom

Auteure: Cal Pierce

Nombre de pages: 224

God is calling forth a generation that is passionate for His healing presence. To this end, God has equipped every person with a provision for healing. This provision was provided at the cross and is included in God's saving grace. God is not just able to heal us; He is willing to heal us. This isn't something God has yet to decide, He has already done it when Jesus bore our sins and our sicknesses and carried our pain at the cross (1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:4-5). Healing in the Kingdom lays a foundation from God's Word on His will to heal the whole person in spirit, mind, and body. Learn how to receive healing by faith, how to address the roadblocks to healing, how to exhibit authority through the Holy Spirit, how God establishes divine health through His healing power, and how to see healing even more in this present age. Every believer can learn to receive and minister God's healing power through prayer, whether we're in the pew or on the street.

Routledge Handbook of Food and Nutrition Security

Routledge Handbook of Food and Nutrition Security

Auteure: Bill Pritchard , Rodomiro Ortiz , Meera Shekar

Nombre de pages: 543

The concept of food and nutrition security has evolved and risen to the top of the international policy agenda over the last decade. Yet it is a complex and multi-faceted issue, requiring a broad and inter-disciplinary perspective for full understanding. This Handbook represents the most comprehensive compilation of our current knowledge of food and nutrition security from a global perspective. It is organized to reflect the wide scope of the contents, its four sections corresponding to the accepted current definitional frameworks prevailing in the work of multilateral agencies and mainstream scholarship. The first section addresses the struggles and progression of ideas and debates about the subject in recent years. The other sections focus on three key themes: how food has been, is and should be made available, including by improvements in agricultural productivity; the ways in which politico-economic and social arenas have shaped access to food; and the effects of food and nutrition systems in addressing human health, known as food utilisation. Overall, the volume synthesizes a vast field of information drawn from agriculture, soil science, climatology, economics, sociology,...

Wide Spectra of Quality Control

Wide Spectra of Quality Control

Auteure: Isin Akyar

Nombre de pages: 548

Quality control is a standard which certainly has become a style of living. With the improvement of technology every day, we meet new and complicated devices and methods in different fields. Quality control explains the directed use of testing to measure the achievement of a specific standard. It is the process, procedures and authority used to accept or reject all components, drug product containers, closures, in-process materials, packaging material, labeling and drug products, and the authority to review production records to assure that no errors have occurred.The quality which is supposed to be achieved is not a concept which can be controlled by easy, numerical or other means, but it is the control over the intrinsic quality of a test facility and its studies. The aim of this book is to share useful and practical knowledge about quality control in several fields with the people who want to improve their knowledge.

Robert Hartwell Fiske's Dictionary of Unendurable English

Auteure: Robert Hartwell Fiske

Nombre de pages: 479

Robert Hartwell Fiske aims to eliminate laxity in language today by way of this witty and engaging reference. Fiske rails against "laxicographers and ding-a-linguists" who, with their misguided thinking, actually promote the dissolution of the English language. He also illustrates why dictionaries don't always provide the correct meaning or usage of a word. With concise instruction and numerous examples of misused words, Fiske makes it easier than ever to learn from others' mistakes. This comprehensive dictionary of common misusages lays bare the mistakes we all make every day. Robert Hartwell Fiske, the grumbling grammarian of our time, shows you the definitive right way and wrong way to use language--and illustrates why dictionaries don't always provide the correct meaning or usage of a word.

Nombre de pages: 388

The third volume of "Advances in Forensic Haemogenetics" contains the th scientific contributions presented at the 13 Congress of the International Society for Forensic Haemogenetics, held on October 19-21, 1989 in New Orleans, USA. The conference was organized and chaired by Dr. Herbert Polesky from Minneapolis. He and the local organizing committee which consisted of our friends and colleagues (J. Soubrada, L.R.Bryant, Dale D.Dykes, Ch.Harrison, P.Newall and R. Walker) deserve the thanks of our Society for a very successful meeting. Herb Polesky has also contributed a great deal to the preparation of this book. The contributions to the conference covered all fields of forensic haemo genetics, but an outstanding highlight of this conference was the application ofDNA-polymorphisms to paternity and to the identification of stains. This included basic lectures on biostatistical approaches as well as on molecular biology and many new technical approaches to our general and special aims. Forensic haemogenetics has now merged into a new discipline without having lost its original identity. On behalf of the Executive Committee of our Society I would like to extend my thanks to the...

Open source hardware development – A handbook for collaborative product creation

Open source hardware development – A handbook for collaborative product creation

Auteure: Mies, Robert , Bonvoisin, Jérémy , Villum, Christian , Dekoninck, Elies , Jochem, Roland

Nombre de pages: 28

Open source hardware (OSH) involves freely sharing designs online, permitting their use through free/open licences and opening up the product development process to external collaboration. OSH development offers enormous potential for restructuring the social organisation of product creation and reforming traditional industrial practice. At first glance, it seems that these values and practices threaten conventional value-creation models. A company may ask how it can make money while working ‘in the open’; a solo entrepreneur may ask what they stand to gain from opening up their products. However, this mode of participation can harbour benefits to both companies and consumers. To this end, this handbook gives highly practical information on what OSH and OSH development is, how to get started, develop a strategic approach, document systematically, identify the right licence and collaborate with online communities and makerspaces. It taps into several dozen case studies to draw rich insights into best practice and dos and don’ts of OSH development. The book addresses a practitioners’ audience of managers, engineers, business owners, makers and researchers who want to know...

Gustav Winckler & vennerne

Gustav Winckler & vennerne

Auteure: Frank Toft-nielsen

Nombre de pages: 260

"Gustav Winckler & vennerne" er en gribende musikbiografi om den danske crooner-legende; Gustav Winckler (1925-1979). Danmarks største crooner, der var elsket af danskerne, og som midt i en brydningstid blev kastet ud i kulturkampen om god og dårlig smag, samtidig med at han producerede nogle af landets mest forargelige og opsigstvækkende nye musikkunstnere. Ikke mange ville have troet, at denne unge Gustav, der i 30'erne arbejdede som maskinarbejder på en vaskemaskinefabrik, skulle gå hen og blive indbegrebet af dansk populærmusik. Hele Danmarks Gustav nåede at indspille ikke mindre end 1400 sange og producere for et væld af store navne, herunder Povl Dissing. Han vandt det første danske Melodi Grand Prix med den evige klassiker "Skibet skal sejle i nat" og nåede også at få en bred international karriere. Gustav Wincklers bidrag til dansk popmusikhistorie er uvurderligt - hans arv lever videre gennem de tidløse melodier, der stadig bringer smil frem hos mange generationer. Biografien om dansktop-kongen blev ved udgivelsen i 1997 modtaget positivt og blev blandt andet rost for at være velskrevet og respektfuld i sin beskrivelse af Gustav Wincklers karriere og virke...

Die Poetik des deutschsprachigen Rap

Die Poetik des deutschsprachigen Rap

Auteure: Fabian Wolbring

Nombre de pages: 628

Rap ist die wohl populärste und einflussreichste Lyrikform der Gegenwart. Gerade unter jungen Männern ist das Schreiben und Deklamieren von Rap-Texten inzwischen eine der beliebtesten Freizeitbeschäftigungen überhaupt. Dabei orientieren sie sich in der Konzeption wie auch im Vortragsstil an textsortenspezifischen Regeln und Prinzipien. Fabian Wolbring erschließt diese nun am Beispiel des deutschsprachigen Rap erstmalig und untersucht sie auf ihre ästhetischen Potenziale hin. Es zeigt sich, dass die Gestaltungsprinzipien in Reim- und Rhythmusbindung, Stimmnutzung, Themenwahl und Sprechverhalten wie auch das gängige Autorschaftsmodell besonders dazu geeignet sind, den Sprecher als souverän, autonom und überlegen zu inszenieren. Die literaturwissenschaftliche Analyse gewinnt dabei kulturdiagnostisches Potenzial.

Angiogenesis-Based Dermatology

Angiogenesis-Based Dermatology

Auteure: Jack L. Arbiser

Nombre de pages: 182

This book provides a complete overview of all aspects of angiogenesis in dermatology. This is a guide to the principles of angiogenesis that will allow all involved in dermatology from the medical student and nurse practitioner to the experienced dermatologist to apply these principles for the treatment of patients. Angiogenesis is a principle that can be used to guide treatment of diseases of any organ system. Dermatology may be the first specialty to be guided by the principle of angiogenesis because the lesions are visible and response can be easily monitored. Dermatologists already inhibit angiogenesis as part of their treatment of multiple common dermatologic disorders, including acne, warts, and nonmelanoma skin cancer.

Auteure: Gary A. Laursen , Joseph F. Ammirati , Scott A. Redhead

Nombre de pages: 361

During the summer of 1980, the First International symposium on Arctic and Alpine Mycology (ISAM-I) was held at the then extant Naval Arctic Research Laboratory near Barrow, Alaska, U.S.A., well within the Arctic Circle (Laursen and Ammirati, Arctic and Alpine Mycology. The First International symposium on Arcto-Alpine Mycology. Univ. Wash. Press, 1982). The facility is currently owned and operated by the Utkeagvik Inupiat community and is named the National Academic and Research Laboratory, thus retaining its acronym NARL. Twenty-five scientists participated in that historic first meeting. Their interests in the fungi spanned a vast geographic area of cold dominated habitats in both the northern and southern hemispheres that included four continents (N. and S. America, Eurasia,and Antarctica), nine countries, and numerous islands ranging from Greenland to Jan Mayen in the Svalbard group. ISAM-I helped to develop ongoing interests and initiate others. This is what ISAM-I founders hoped would happen. Asa result, the organizing committee for ISAM-II was formed. Its mandate was to: involve a maximum of one third new participants in future ISAM meetings: divide the responsibility for...

Performative Lyrik und lyrische Performance

Performative Lyrik und lyrische Performance

Auteure: Johannes Gruber

Nombre de pages: 393

Rap existiert nicht auf dem Papier - Rap muss aufgeführt werden. Entscheidendes Qualitätsmerkmal ist dabei der individuelle Stil eines Rappers, sein »Flow«. Johannes Gruber untersucht dieses Phänomen erstmalig genauer anhand der von ihm entwickelten Flowanalyse. Die Anwendung dieser Methode auf über 600 Raptracks und die zugehörigen Texte liefert erstaunliche Ergebnisse und mündet in eine umfassende »Poetik des Rap«. Diese fasst standardisierte Verfahren der Textproduktion und -aufführung zusammen und zeigt den deutschen Rap in seiner ganzen Klanglichkeit. Wie Rapper diese Mechanismen und Strategien nutzen, um ein spezifisches Image bzw. Profil zu generieren, zeigt die Studie anhand der Genre-Stars Sido und Bushido.
