Embedded Software Development for Safety-Critical Systems
by Chris HobbsSafety-critical devices, whether medical, rail, automotive or industrial are dependent on the correct operation of sophisticated software. Many standards describe how such systems should be designed, built and verified. Developers who previously had to know only how to program devices for their industry must now understand and deploy additional development practices and be prepared to justify their work to external assessors.The third edition of Embedded Software Development for Safety-Critical Systems is about the creation of dependable embedded software. It is written for system designers, implementers and verifiers who are experienced in general embedded software development, but who are now facing the prospect of developing a software-based system for safety-critical applications. In particular, it is aimed at those creating a product that must satisfy one or more of the international standards relating to safety critical applications, including IEC 61508, ISO 26262, EN 50716, UL 4600, ISO 21448, ISO/PAS 8800 or IEC 62304.This book has evolved from a course text used by QNX for a three-day training module on building embedded software for safety-critical systems. Although it describes open source tools for most applications, it also provides enough information for you to seek out commercial vendors if that’s the route you decide to pursue. All of the techniques described in this book may be further explored through several hundred references to articles that the author has personally found helpful as a professional software developer. Almost all of these references are available for free download.
Embodying the Revolution: The Hebrew Experience and the Globalization of Modern Sports in Interwar Palestine
by Ofer IdelsThis original and thought-provoking study offers a fresh perspective on Zionism by exploring Hebrew culture’s ambivalent attitude toward modern sports. Drawing on extensive archival sources and contemporary literary theories, it focuses on Zionism’s surprising anxiety toward sports during the interwar heyday of “muscular Judaism,” revealing an unusual society in which athletes failed to attain national pride and distinction. Addressing themes such as the body, language, space, immigration, internationalism, amateurism, gender, and militarization, Embodying the Revolution presents an innovative reading of Jewish life in Mandate Palestine, linking the marginalization of sports to the meaning and experience of the Zionist Revolution. Idels' compelling interpretation of the appeal of sports, selfhood, and the compromises inherent in radical aspirations—narrated from the periphery of the interwar global rise of sports—challenges contemporary assumptions that dismiss ideology as an elitist myth.

Embracing Change in Costal Sri Lanka: Local Strategies in a Global Context
by R.L. StirratFocused on social change in a coastal village in Sri Lanka, this book emphasizes processes over structures, based on the fundamental premise that society is defined by change rather than stasis. In the village, change emerged as a response to broader economic and political forces, yet the people were far from passive victims of these external influences. Instead, they actively engaged with shifting circumstances, seizing new opportunities as they arose. Change was generally perceived in a positive light, reflecting the community’s resilience and adaptability.
Embracing Disruption: Clowning, Improvisation, and the Unscripted in Early Shakespearean Performance (Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies)
by Stephen WiskerThis volume celebrates the centrality of clowning in Shakespeare’s conception of theatre and explores how he purposefully invited the clown’s anarchic energy into the heart of his dramaturgy.Clowning was a potent but divisive force in the theater of Shakespeare’s time, challenging the emerging tyranny of decorum and the developing notion of the authorial voice. As such, the figure of the clown is key to understanding the pervasive tension between existing and emergent forms of Elizabethan theater, and unlocks forgotten levels of meaning in Shakespeare’s plays, meanings that were only fully experienced in performance rather than on the page. The great clown Dick Tarleton dominated the London theater of the 1580’s and deeply informed Shakespeare’s understanding of the anarchic power of performance. By the 1590’s, however, the clown’s voice was increasingly silenced by emerging theater practice intent on authorial control and Elizabethan codes of decorum. Against the dominant critical tide, Shakespeare continued to embrace clowning and worked closely with Will Kemp—Tarleton’s successor as the greatest clown of his age—specifically and deliberately placing him alongside his leading man, Richard Burbage, the originator of the roles of Romeo, Hal, Hamlet and many others. Through an analysis of key scenes in Romeo and Juliet and Henry IV, Embracing Disruption illustrates the enormously generative, unstable, and compelling relationship between these two actors, Burbage and Kemp—the hero and the clown—and how their extraordinary dynamic was experienced on the stage rather than on the page. This hero-clown dynamic continues even after Kemp’s departure from Shakespeare’s company: Hamlet features the ghosts of Tarleton and Kemp, two clowns deeply informing Burbage’s performance as the hero. Then a similar dynamic emerges between Kemp’s replacement, a very different clown in Robert Armin playing the Fool opposite Burbage in King Lear. In each instance, the presence of the clown crucially informs the audience’s understanding of the hero. Moreover, Shakespeare’s increasingly sophisticated deployment of clowning comments on and resists the transformation and gentrification of the theater that defined the Elizabethan era.This study will be of great interest to students and scholars in Performance studies and Shakespeare studies.
Embracing Faith and Desire: Queer and Feminist Engagements with Islam and Christianity as Lived Religions (Gendering the Study of Religion in the Social Sciences)
by Viola Thimm and Ferdiansyah ThajibEmbracing Faith and Desire investigates the intersection of gender, sexuality, and religion from an anthropological lens. Taking women’s, non-binary, and queer religious life-worlds in Muslim and Christian contexts as a cross-cutting research theme, the book brings together scholars from different disciplines and regional contexts who are interested in the interconnectedness of gender dynamics, queerness, and religious principles.The explosive growth of contesting religions, especially in a Christian-Muslim context, represents a distinctively religious-political dynamic within globalization. It disrupts the global world order, influences hegemonic negotiations within and across nation-states, and shapes self-imaginations and practices of social actors. Consequently, it carries far-reaching political, religious, economic, and social ramifications. Embracing Faith and Desire explores these ramifications on various levels. The volume thereby contributes to debates on intersectionality, queer, and religious approaches alike by showcasing how the scopes and scales of action and the constructive shaping of self-images, social relations, and political actions of people are fundamentally dependent upon religious, gendered, and sexualized backgrounds. Embedding the contributions in the anthropology of religion, anthropology of gender, and queer anthropology, the book reconfigures our understanding of lived religion through the lens of gendered and queered imaginations, practices, and ideologies.
Embracing Queer and Trans Frameworks in Qualitative Educational Research: Showing Our Work
by Sam Stiegler LJ SlovinEmbracing Queer and Trans Frameworks in Qualitative Educational Research reflects on a decade of conversations about research, thinking, and life, exploring how to navigate the ethical complexities of working with queer and trans youth as queer and trans scholars. The authors introduce the framework of “showing our work,” an intimate approach that revisits the often- invisible processes behind what becomes the ‘final’ product. This lens offers a fresh, rarely told account of how research is made, highlighting the messy, reflective, and transformative moments that shape scholarly inquiry.By showing their work, the authors invite educational researchers to engage with these moments in their own practice – thinking alongside the discussions and decisions that shape methodological choices. They argue for the vital role of queer and trans methodologies in qualitative educational research, positioning them not just as subjectspecific tools but as critical lines of analytical inquiry. Drawing from their own research with queer and trans youth, both within and beyond educational spaces, the authors revisit and reimagine pivotal moments that challenged, provoked, and ultimately shaped key elements of their published work. Through this process, they create a generative space for methodological reimagining, situating ethnographic work with queer and trans youth as fertile ground for new ways of knowing.This book is essential reading for students across disciplines, as well as qualitative researchers engaged in youth studies, critical methodologies, sociology, and queer and trans studies.
Emergency and Community Food in Australia: A Critical Analysis
by Fiona H McKayThis timely book provides an overview of the evolution of food charity in Australia, from the early days of colonial settlement to the current system of food pantries and emergency relief.Examining the social, cultural, economic, and political factors that have contributed to the growth of food insecurity in Australia, it provides a multifaceted and nuanced understanding of this key social issue, placing the situation in Australia in context with the wider region. The book explores the various forms of food charity that have emerged over the years - government-funded programs, religious and charitable organisations, and community-based initiatives - and the reasons behind them, including the rise of neoliberal policies, the decline of welfare programs, and the increasing prevalence of insecure work and low wages. The author highlights the voices and experiences of those directly affected by food insecurity, offering a critical analysis of the limitations and challenges of food charity as a solution to food insecurity, proposing alternative approaches that prioritise human rights, food justice, and systemic change.An erudite discussion of this often-controversial topic, this book will interest practitioners working in the emergency and community food assistance sector, those working in, and with an interest in, welfare, inequality, and the social determinants of health, researchers and students across public health, public policy, and other related fields.
