Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Originally published for the first time in English in 1979 this book represents one of the earliest Marxist analyses of the impact that colonialism had on Africa during the first half century that followed the Scramble. Nzula’s co-authored book together with all his writings in the Negro Worker are assembled here. The political experience of its African co-author resulted in a book which is alight with commitment to the liberation of the Continent yet always tempered by an explicit theoretical understanding of capitalism in its imperialist phase. The book opens with an outline of Africa’s role in the world economic system. Successive chapters reveal how Western capitalism conjured up a brutally exploited working class and dispossessed peasantry throughout the African continent. Each major region of Black Africa is analysed. Meticulous information as to the facts of oppression and many of the early urban and rural struggles against colonialism before the Second World War is set out. Robin Cohen’s introduction is a valuable summation of Nzula’s life and of the background to this book. The appendices bring together many of Nzula’s little known writings. | Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Traditional fermented foods are not only the staple food for most of developing countries but also the key healthy food for developed countries. As the healthy functions of these foods are gradually discovered more high throughput biotechnologies are being used to promote the fermented food industries. As a result the microorganisms process biochemistry manufacturing and down-streaming processing as well as the bioactive metabolites released by the fermenting organisms and above all the healthy functions of these foods were extensively researched. The application and progress of biotechnology and biochemistry of traditional fermented food systems are different from each other as the microorganisms and the food matrices vary widely. Part I (Biochemistry and Biotechnology) of this book (Fermented Foods) discusses the general aspects of biochemistry and biotechnological application of fermented foods involving acetic acid bacteria lactic acid bacteria ethanolic yeasts and fungi in accelerating the many and variable functional factors in the fermented foods as well as metagenomics of fermented foods. The detailed technological interventions involved in different categories of fermented foods such as fermented cereals (bread and sourdough) fermented milk products (yogurt cheese) fermented sausages fermented vegetables (kimchi sauerkraut) fermented legumes (tempeh natto) and coffee and cocoa fermentations and fermented beverages (animal- and plant-based) with their potential and actual health benefits are discussed in Part II (Fermented Foods: Technological Interventions). | Fermented Foods Part I Biochemistry and Biotechnology

The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume I: Periods and Places

The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume I: Periods and Places

For an entire millennium Byzantine hagiography inspired by the veneration of many saints exhibited literary dynamism and a capacity to vary its basic forms. The subgenres into which it branched out after its remarkable start in the fourth century underwent alternating phases of development and decline that were intertwined with changes in the political social and literary spheres. The selection of saintly heroes an interest in depicting social landscapes and the modulation of linguistic and stylistic registers captured the voice of homo byzantinus down to the end of the empire in the fifteenth century. The seventeen chapters in this companion form the sequel to those in volume I which dealt with the periods and regions of Byzantine hagiography and complete the first comprehensive survey ever produced in this field. The book is the work of an international group of experts in the field and is addressed to both a broader public and the scholarly community of Byzantinists medievalists historians of religion and theorists of narrative. It highlights the literary dimension and the research potential of a representative number of texts not only those appreciated by the Byzantines themselves but those which modern readers rank high due to their literary quality or historical relevance. | The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography Volume I: Periods and Places

Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

This is the first in a set of 10 books written for professionals in quantitative finance. These books fill the gap between informal mathematical developments found in introductory materials and more advanced treatments that summarize without formally developing the important foundational results professionals need. Book I in the Foundations in Quantitative Finance Series develops topics in measure spaces and measurable functions and lays the foundation for subsequent volumes. Lebesgue and then Borel measure theory are developed on ℝ motivating the general extension theory of measure spaces that follows. This general theory is applied to finite product measure spaces Borel measures on ℝn and infinite dimensional product probability spaces. The overriding goal of these books is a complete and detailed development of the many mathematical theories and results one finds in popular resources in finance and quantitative finance. Each book is dedicated to a specific area of mathematics or probability theory with applications to finance that are relevant to the needs of professionals. Practitioners academic researchers and students will find these books valuable to their career development. All ten volumes are extensively self-referenced. The reader can enter the collection at any point or topic of interest and then work backward to identify and fill in needed details. This approach also works for a course or self-study on a given volume with earlier books used for reference. Advanced quantitative finance books typically develop materials with an eye to comprehensiveness in the given subject matter yet not with an eye toward efficiently curating and developing the theories needed for applications in quantitative finance. This book and series of volumes fill this need. | Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi in a wide range of foods (cereals peanut tree nuts dried fruits coffee cocoa grapes spices…) both in the field and after harvest particularly during storage. They can also be found in processed foods of plant origin or by transfer in food products of animal (milk eggs meat and offal). Mycotoxins are of major concern since they can cause acute or chronic intoxications in both humans and animals which are sometimes fatal. Many countries particularly in Europe have set maximum acceptable levels for mycotoxins in food and feed. The book reviews the latest literature and innovations on important aspects of mycotoxins e. g. mycotoxin producing fungi and the related ecosystems mycotoxin occurrence toxicity analysis and management. Quantitative estimations of impacts of climate change on mycotoxin occurrence have been made recently using predictive modelling. There is also a growing interest in the occurrence and toxicity of multiple mycotoxins in food and feed including emerging or modified forms of mycotoxins. Innovative tools were also developed to detect and quantify toxinogenic fungi and their toxins. In order to reduce the use of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and health of consumers alternative methods of prevention and decontamination of mycotoxins were tested in pre- and post-harvest using microorganisms natural substances or radiation treatments. | Mycotoxins in Food and Beverages Innovations and Advances Part I
