Et si on était fait l'un pour l'autre
by Angelina Marie Laurentine KY / KANKYONOEt si on était fait l'un pour l'autre est un recueil de six nouvelles, chacune traitant de thèmes d'actualité selon la situation géographique des différents protagonistes. Des questionnements de gamines dans la nouvelle « les gamines : attendre et attendre » trouvent leurs réponses par les gamines elles-mêmes, puis aidées d'adultes parfois coupables et à l'origine de tels questionnements naïfs mais oh combien détonants. Que dire des nouvelles « Aïe Aïe », « La gangrène », respectivement évoquant des maux aussi poignants que sombres de la pédophilie et du harcèlement sexuel en milieu scolaire. Quant à la nouvelle « La Solution », elle est réellement une solution toute trouvée à un mal qui sévit depuis les temps immémoriaux, à savoir les relations mi-figue, mi-raisin entre les belles-mères et leurs brus, chacune se prenant au gré des humeurs comme les deux faces d'une même médaille. Enfin les nouvelles « La placeuse » et « Et si on était fait l'un pour l'autre ?» Nous montre qu'aucune situation pénible n'est statique, que la difficulté ait la taille d'une montagne ou d'un monticule. Elle trouvera, à un moment ou à un autre, avec de judicieux coup de ponce, un dénouement hors du commun. Le recueil de nouvelles Et si on était fait l'un pour l'autre a le mérite de nous faire vivre bien des faces cachées de l'homme, tantôt agneau, tantôt loup.
The Sweetheart
by Angelina MirabellaA debut, coming-of-age novel in which a teenage girl from Philadelphia leaves her old life behind to become The Sweetheart, one of America's most infamous female wrestlers.It's 1953 and seventeen-year-oldLeonie Putzkammer is cartoonishly tall and curvaceous, destined to spend the rest of her life waiting tables and living with her widowed father, Franz, in their Philadelphia row house. Until the day legendary wrestling promoter Salvatore Costantini walks into the local diner and offers her the chance of a lifetime. Leonie sets off for Florida to train at Joe Pospisil's School for Lady Grappling. There, she transforms into Gorgeous Gwen Davies, tag-team partner of legendary Screaming Mimi Hollander, and begins a romance with the soon-to-be Junior Heavyweight Champion Spider McGee. But when life as Gorgeous Gwen leaves her wanting, she orchestrates a move that will catapult her from heel to hero: she becomes The Sweetheart, a choice that attracts the fans she desires but complicates all of her relationships--with Franz, Joe, Spider, Mimi (who becomes her fiercest competitor), and even with herself. Angelina Mirabella's surprising, affecting, and morally complex novel describes how a single decision can ripple through the lives of everyone around us. How Leonie sizes up the competition, how she triumphs, how she fails, and how she manages, somehow, to endure, holds promise: if she can, maybe we can, too. The Sweetheart showcases Mirabella's breathtaking talent; it is daring, innovative, and powerful storytelling.

Of Medicines and Markets: Intellectual Property and Human Rights in the Free Trade Era
by Angelina Snodgrass GodoyCentral American countries have long defined health as a human right. But in recent years regional trade agreements have ushered in aggressive intellectual property reforms, undermining this conception. Questions of IP and health provisions are pivotal to both human rights advocacy and "free" trade policy, and as this book chronicles, complex political battles have developed across the region. Looking at events in Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala, Angelina Godoy argues that human rights advocates need to approach intellectual property law as more than simply a roster of regulations. IP represents the cutting edge of a global tendency to value all things in market terms: Life forms—from plants to human genetic sequences—are rendered commodities, and substances necessary to sustain life—medicines—are restricted to insure corporate profits. If we argue only over the terms of IP protection without confronting the underlying logic governing our trade agreements, then human rights advocates will lose even when they win.

Towards a Chinese Conception of Social Support: Study of the Social Support Networks of Chinese Working Mothers in Beijing (Routledge Revivals)
by Angelina W.K. Yuen-TsangFirst published in 1997, this volume is an attempt to study the patterns of social support among Chinese working mothers in a Beijing neighbourhood with the aim of developing a beginning understanding of the Chinese conception of social support. The data indicates great variations in the support relationships experienced by the 27 Chinese working mothers interviewed on their social support and support relationships. Angelina W.K. Yuen-Tsang aims to understand the existing patterns of social support, to develop an initial understanding of the Chinese conception of social support through the grounded theory method and to explore the implications of the Chinese conception of social support on social work practice and social work intervention in the PRC. She argues that the introduction of formal social work interventions to supplement the informal networks is therefore envisaged to be a necessary and inevitable trend of development in the People’s Republic of China.
Stimulation and Inhibition of Neurons
by Paul M. Pilowsky Angelina Y. Fong Melissa M.J. FarnhamActivation, inhibition, or destruction of the nervous system or its component parts as a vital tool for the investigation of function has undergone remarkable development; indeed, new approaches have been developed that allow for these actions to be used as therapeutic tools. In Stimulation and Inhibition of Neurons, experts in the field provide an overview of modern methods for generating lesions as well as for stimulating and inhibiting neural pathways. Many new techniques such as optogenetics and the use of the in situ perfused preparation are examined, while, in other sections, the use and validity of more well-known approaches are reassessed. Written for the Neuromethods series, chapters examine their respective topics thoroughly and include the kind of detail and implementation advice that ensures successful results in the laboratory. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Stimulation and Inhibition of Neurons serves as an ideal guide for researchers seeking to gain further knowledge of the complex functions of the brain.
Investitionsschutz für Maschinendaten: Eine Untersuchung des Schutzes maschinengenerierter Daten der Industrie 4.0 durch das Datenbankherstellerrecht
by Angelina ZierDie intelligente Produktion in der Industrie 4.0 erfordert einen stetigen Austausch sowie die Verarbeitung riesiger Mengen maschinengenerierter Daten. Deshalb sind diese Daten zu einem zentralen Produktionsmittel und Wirtschaftsgut mit erheblichem Wert geworden. Aus diesem Grund haben die datenhaltenden Unternehmen ein großes Interesse daran, ihre Daten für sich selbst gewinnbringend zu nutzen. Demgegenüber besteht wegen der immer größeren Bedeutung der Maschinendaten auch ein erhebliches Interesse am Zugang zu den Daten anderer Unternehmen. Deshalb ist ein Rechtsrahmen für maschinengenerierte Daten erforderlich, der einen hinreichenden Schutz gewährt, aber auch ausreichende Datenzugangsmöglichkeiten etabliert. Ein geeignetes Datenmanagement in der Industrie 4.0 erfordert regelmäßig die Einrichtung von Datenbanken zur Speicherung und Verarbeitung der maschinengenerierten Daten. Deshalb liegt die Anwendung des Datenbankherstellerrechts nahe, um einen rechtlichen Schutz der Daten zu ermöglichen. Die Autorin untersucht, ob das Datenbankherstellerrecht auf Industrie 4.0-Datenbanken Anwendung finden kann und welche Probleme sich dabei ergeben. Es werden Vorschläge für eine Adaption des Datenbankherstellerrechts gemacht.
Effective Implementation of Transformation Strategies: How to Navigate the Strategy and Change Interface Successfully
by Ofer Zwikael Kate Hughes Shelley Kirkpatrick Angelina Zubac Danielle TuckerThis book sheds light on the processes and cognitions used by managers to successfully implement strategies while navigating the strategy and change interface.It applies the latest thinking from the resource-based literature, in particular the idea that high performing organisations have become adept at honing and utilising value creating dynamic capabilities. Key processes and cognitions help organisational leaders sense opportunities and threats as well as shrewdly seize strategic opportunities to advantageously enhance performance. The book also adopts an institutional view; that is, it assumes that organisations must satisfy their stakeholders while navigating a range of influences, including other organisations, markets, laws, quality standards, conventions, and cultural norms. This book conceptualises corporate strategy as an amalgam of four fundamental strategies: the organisation’s financial, customer value creation, resource, and non-market strategies. These strategies address the capital, product and services, and resource markets as well as various non-market institutions. Successfully integrating and implementing these four strategies allow organisations to enable their employees’ multidisciplinary talents. By approaching strategy in this way, the book demonstrates why it is important to monitor changes to the organisation’s strategic context and helps it identify the practices, collaborations, and projects necessary to achieve spectacular strategic change.
