Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis

Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis

The quality and safety of food are crucial for human nutrition. However evaluating the chemical composition of food is challenging for the analyst and requires powerful methods. Chromatography and mass spectrometry (MS) is the gold standard for analyzing complex food samples including raw materials and intermediate and finished products. Mass Spectrometry in Food Analysis covers the MS-based analysis of different aspects of food quality which include nutritional value profile of macronutrients (proteins lipids and carbohydrates) micronutrients (vitamins) and nutraceutical active compounds. Additionally sensory quality flavor food pigments safety and detection of pesticides contact materials veterinary drugs and pharmaceuticals organic pollutants and pathogens are covered. Key Features: Contains the basics of mass spectrometry and experimental strategies Explores determination of macro- and micronutrients Analyzes sensory and nutraceutical food quality Discusses detection of contaminants and proof of authenticity Presents emerging methods for food analysis This book contains an introductory section that explains the basics of MS and the difference between targeted and untargeted strategies for beginners. Further it points out new analytical challenges such as monitoring contaminants of emerging concern and presents innovative techniques (e. g. ambient ionization MS and data mining).

Interaction in the Language Curriculum Awareness Autonomy and Authenticity

Interaction in the Language Curriculum Awareness Autonomy and Authenticity

Interaction in the Language Curriculum offers an innovative theory of language education integrating curriculum practice research and teaching. It emphasises the interdependence of knowledge and values and stresses the central importance of learning as a social process. Leo van Lier argues that moral as well as intellectual and practical principles must underlie curriculum development and everyday teaching captured in his triple focus on Awareness Autonomy and Authenticity. In addition to its rich grounding in language education practice the book draws support for his position from diverse sources in sociology philosophy and cognitive science from the work of Bourdieu Giddens Wittgenstein Peirce Vygotsky Bakhtin and Dewey. In the current broadening context of language education this study makes an important contribution to research. It presents a coherent philosophical theory as well as considering practical issues in implementation of a new language curriculum. As such it will be of great benefit to teachers applied linguists and educationalists generally. | Interaction in the Language Curriculum Awareness Autonomy and Authenticity

Commercial Culture The Media System and the Public Interest

Commercial Culture The Media System and the Public Interest

American mass media are the world's most diverse rich and free. Their dazzling resources variety and influence arouse envy in other countries. Their failures are commonly excused on the grounds that they are creatures of the market that they give people what they want. 'Commercial Culture' focuses not on the glories of the media but on what is wrong with them and why and how they may be made better. This powerful critique of American mass communication highlights four trends that sound an urgent call for reform: the blurring of distinctions among traditional media and between individual and mass communication; the increasing concentration of media control in a disturbingly small number of powerful organizations; the shift from advertisers to consumers as the source of media revenues; and the growing confusion of information and entertainment of the real and the imaginary. The future direction of the media Leo Bogart contends should not be left to market forces alone. He shows how the public's appetite for media differs from other demands the market is left to satisfy because of how profoundly the media shape the public's character and values. Bogart concludes that a world of new communications technology requires a coherent national media policy respectful of the American tradition of free expression and subject to vigorous public scrutiny and debate. 'Commercial Culture' is a comprehensive analysis of the media as they evolve in a technological age. It will appeal to general readers interested in mass communications as well as professionals and scholars studying American mass media. | Commercial Culture The Media System and the Public Interest

Culture and Civilization Volume 2 Beyond Positivism and Historicism

Culture and Civilization Volume 2 Beyond Positivism and Historicism

This second volume in this new series aims to anchor the 21st century in the tradition of the new to raise methodology into historiography. As the new millennium develops it is becoming evident that science and society are critical pivots in the formation of a larger mosaic of culture and civilization. A tradition has developed and refuses to dissolve under the withering aspect of analysis. Whether flying under the banner of Arthur Lovejoy George F. Kennan Pitirim Sorokin Arnold Toynbee Alexander Solzhenitsyn T. S. Eliot Thorstein Veblen and countless others it has become clear that making sense of the whole and not resting easy with bits and pieces has become the mission of Culture & Civilization. This second volume expands upon the initial efforts to deepen the sense of tradition with outstanding contributions ranging from Charles Murray The Happiness of the People; Peter Watson Ideas: A History of Thought from Fire to Freud; Evan Selinger Ethics and Poverty Tours; Walter A. McDougall American Policy Traditions in the Middle East; Raymond Ibrahim Violence in Judaism Christianity and Islam; Michael Curtis Israel: Land Law and Legitimacy; Marian Tupy Persistent Poverty in Africa; David Ronfeldt and Danielle Varda Cyberocracy Revisited; a retrospective by Leo Alexander on Medical Science under Dictatorship; and a series of brilliant new essays on Wyndham Lewis Jonathan Swift Max Scheler and Thurman Arnold. Culture and Civilization does not embrace idiosyncratic visions of the apocalypse or the end of Western empires. It does attempt to bring together immediate issues and ideas that are substantial and challenging. The essential polarity between democracy and autocracy has now taken on historical dimensions that has now taken on larger deeper dimensions in different political economic and ecological terrain of our day is civilization versus barbarism. This second volume is a sober deeper response to such a challenge. | Culture and Civilization Volume 2 Beyond Positivism and Historicism

Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Niccolò Ridolfi (1501–50) was a Florentine cardinal nephew and cousin to the Medici popes Leo X and Clement VII and he owed his status and wealth to their patronage. He remained actively engaged in Florentine politics above all during the years of crisis that saw the Florentine state change from republic to duchy. A widely respected patron and scholar throughout his life his sudden death during the conclave of 1549–50 led to allegations of poison that an autopsy appears to confirm. This book examines Cardinal Ridolfi and his court in order to understand the extent to which cardinalate courts played a key part in Rome’s resurgence and acted as hubs of knowledge located on the fault lines of politics and reform in church and state hospitable spaces that can be analysed in the context of entanglements in Florentine and Roman cultural and political patronage and intersections between the princely court and a more professional and complex knowledge and practice of household management in the consumer and service economy of early modern Rome. Based on an array of archival sources and on three treatises whose authors were closely linked to Ridolfi’s court this monograph explores these multidisciplinary intersections to allow the more traditional fields of church and political history to be approached from different angles. Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court will appeal to all those interested in the organisation of these elite establishments and their place in sixteenth-century Roman society the life and patronage of Niccolò Ridolfi in the context of the Florentine exiles who desired a return to republicanism and the history of the Roman Catholic Church. | Niccolò Ridolfi and the Cardinal's Court Politics Patronage and Service in Sixteenth-Century Italy

Anarchism as Political Philosophy

Anarchism as Political Philosophy

Reports of people rejecting political authority assaulting it with words and often violent acts are actions that are part of modern life. Anarchism has been considered a dead movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth century but it assumed a renewed and substantial relevance in the late twentieth century. Robert Hoffman points out in his incisive Introduction that anarchists have always been viewed either as foolish idealists or at the other extreme as serious threats to justice and social tranquility. But the editor argues most anarchists have been ordinary people who have shared a singular passion for what they believe to be a just society. To clarify widespread misconceptions about anarchism this volume offers a lively debate on the subject consisting of works by both advocates of anarchism and people who take it seriously but reject it. Represented here in the writings of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon Leo Tolstoy George Bernard Shaw Bertrand Russell and others are different types styles and periods of anarchist writing reflecting a rich variety of thought arising from the anarchist perspective. The essays deal with many of the different strands of anarchists including anarchist attacks on democracy patriotism and military conscription and provide an outline of the movement's tumultuous history. Against these are set pieces that argue anarchism's impossibility and estimate its relevance to social change. The debate format of Anarchism introduces the reader to a fresh perspective and understanding of vital issues of political and social theory and provokes him to examine his own thinking. Looking at both sides of the controversy this volume discourages unquestioning or over-confident opinions. Although the anarchist credo that man can live without government is difficult or impossible for most people to accept as long as we find it difficult to live within the framework of government control the influence and potential appeal of anarchist thought will continue to be felt. | Anarchism as Political Philosophy

Sporting Equality Title IX Thirty Years Later

Sporting Equality Title IX Thirty Years Later

As part of its Education Amendments the United States Congress passed Title IX in 1972 to ensure that no person should be discriminated against in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. In the decades since Title IX has had among other effects a marked increase on school athletic programs for women and girls at both the high school and college level. Despite this a range of questions have been raised about the effectiveness of the federal government's enforcement and also the impact on male athletics. The government can enact legislation but how it works remains the domain of administrators at one end and thousands of athletes at the other. Sporting Equality reviews the impact of Title IX thirty years after its passage and suggests future areas of contention. This new title includes the major findings and recommendations of the Secretary of Education's Commission on Opportunities in Athletics established in 2002 as well as the commission's minority report. These contributions are followed by seven chapters that analyze and assess the strength and weakness of Title IX and offer recommendations for strengthening or changing its goals and objectives. These include: Kimberly A. Yuracko Title IX and the Problem of Gender Equality in Athletics; Eric C. Dudley Jr. and George Rutherglen A Comment on the Report of the Commission to Review Title IX; Barbara Murray How to Evaluate the Implementation of Title IX at Colleges and Universities and Attitudes and Interest of Students Regarding Athletics; John J. Cheslock and Deborah Anderson Lessons From Research on Title IX and Intercollegiate Athletics; Valerie M. Bonnette The Little Fusses Over Title IX. The book concludes with two controversial chapters. The first by Leo Kocher argues that Title IX has been detrimental to male athletics especially gymnastics swimming wrestling and track while the second by Ellen J. Staurowsky claims that Title IX has not gone far enough in providing women athletes with the equality they deserve. This volume will be of interest to specialists in the sociology of sports women's studies scholars and sports educators. | Sporting Equality Title IX Thirty Years Later
