Die Kriminalpsychiatrie ist eine Disziplin im Zwielicht. Sie ist angesiedelt zwischen zwei Wissenschaften unterschiedlicher Ausrichtung: der Medizin und dem Strafrecht. Obwohl von Ärzten betrieben, steht die forensische Psychiatrie im Dienste der Strafrechtsordnung, und zwar mit Sicherheit nicht einer liberalen und progressiven. Im Gegenteil: dieses Buch zeigt auf, daß die Kriminalpsychiatrie durch ihr Beharren auf einem somatisch-biologistisch orientierten Krankheitsbegriff ein repressives Strafrecht stützt und legitimiert. Was Menschen durch Menschen erleiden, und zwar in Kindheit und Jugend, und was ihre Charakterstruktur früh deformiert, gilt der Kriminalpsychiatrie nicht als entlastend, sondern wird auf das Konto der individuell meßbaren Schuld gebucht. Exkulpiert wird nur die Gesellschaft.
Anti-capitalist activism has taken a wrong direction and social and political theoretical theorists have failed to realise this. The trend for building, what has become called, 'Alternative Societies', spaces such as mutual aid groups and workers' co-operatives, failed to grasp the true power of the capitalist totality. Drawing on the work of the early Frankfurt School, this book argues that such anti-capitalist strategies are deeply mistaken and must be urgently reconsidered.

Surviving repression tells the story of the Muslim Brotherhood following the 2013 coup d'état in Egypt. The Brotherhood gained legal recognition and quickly rose to power after the 2011 Arab uprisings, but its subsequent removal from office marked the beginning of the harshest repression of its troubled history. Forced into exile, the Brotherhood and its members are now faced with a monumental task as they rebuild this fragmented organisation. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews with current and former members of the Brotherhood, the book explores this new era in the movement's history, emphasising first-hand experiences, perspectives and emotions to better understand how individual responses to repression are affecting the movement as a whole. Surviving repression offers a unique insight into the main strategic, ideological and organizational debates dividing the Brotherhood.

Seit der Päpstlichen Revolution des 11. Jahrhunderts waren alle Revolutionen solche des Rechts. Ein ums andre Mal brachten sie eine neue Verfassung und ein neues Recht hervor und veränderten die Gesellschaft im Ganzen. Dabei verbesserten sie die Anpassungsleistung der Gesellschaft und etablierten jeweils neue und erweiterte Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen. An zahllosen Beispielen zeigt sich dabei die tiefe Ambivalenz des Rechts: es dient der Stabilisierung von Herrschaft, kann aber auch gegen sie zurückschlagen. Welche Bedeutung dieser zugleich repressive und emanzipatorische Charakter der Rechtsrevolutionen für die Entstehung der modernen Gesellschaft sowie für deren Entwicklung zur heutigen Weltgesellschaft hat, zeigt dieses Buch.

In seinen frühen Erzählungen entfaltet Cabrera Infante ein Kaleidoskop der kubanischen Gesellschaft zur Zeit des Batista-Regimes: vierzehn anrührende bis abstruse Szenarios von Alltag unter den Bedingungen der Diktatur. Fünfzehn Textvignetten umrahmen die Erzählungen: Schlaglichter auf die repressive Gewalt des Batista-Regimes, schlichte und gerade deshalb so bewegende Nachrufe auf die Opfer, Ihr lakonischer Stil nimmt vorweg, was in »Ansicht der Tropen im Morgengrauen« zum bestimmenden Merkmal wird, währen in den Erzählungen selbst bereits gegenwärtig ist, was den Autor mit dem Roman »Drei traurige Tiger« in die erste Riege der lateinamerikanischen Schriftsteller vorrücken ließ: seine virtuose Beherrschung aller Sprachregister.

Bordering social reproduction explores what happens when migrants subject to policies that seek to deny them the means of life nonetheless endeavour to make and sustain meaningful lives. Developing innovative theorisations of welfare bordering, the volume provides rich ethnographic insights into the everyday lives of destitute mothers and children who are denied mainstream welfare support in the United Kingdom due to their immigration status. This book shows how enforced destitution and debt work alongside detention and deportation as part of a tripartite of exclusionary technologies of the racial state. It advances the novel concept of weathering to comprehend mother's and children's life-making practices under duress - arguing that these are neither acts of heroic resilience nor solely symptomatic of lives rendered disposable, but indications of the fragilities of repressive migration regimes and, on occasion, refusals to accept their terms of existence.

Die Ukraine, der zweitgrößte europäische Staat, ist auf unserer literarischen Landkarte nicht einmal in Umrissen vorhanden. Juri Andruchowytsch, der international renommierteste ukrainische Autor, nimmt die begrenzten Kenntnisse seines Publikums in Westeuropa und in den USA ernst und bringt ihm in einer Reihe brillanter Essays diese unbekannte Region nahe. Jeder, der einmal die westliche Staatsgrenze der Ukraine überquert hat, erfährt, daß hier auch zehn Jahre nach der Unabhängigkeit noch immer eine Trennlinie verläuft: »zwischen Europa und etwas anderem«. Erfrischend im Ton, farbig im Detail und voller Ironie beschreibt er die postsowjetische Realität seines Landes: Lemberg und Kiew, Spuren des untergegangenen Galiziens und die Katastrophe von Tschernobyl, den Exodus der Bevölkerung Richtung Westen und die repressive Medienpolitik der Regierung, aber auch die sonderbare Existenz von Künstlern, Schriftstellern und Intellektuellen in einem Land, »aus dem man weggeht«.

Air policing was used in many colonial possessions, but its most effective incidence occurred in the crescent of territory from north-eastern Africa, through South-West Arabia, to North West Frontier of India. This book talks about air policing and its role in offering a cheaper means of 'pacification' in the inter-war years. It illuminates the potentialities and limitations of the new aerial technology, and makes important contributions to the history of colonial resistance and its suppression. Air policing was employed in the campaign against Mohammed bin Abdulla Hassan and his Dervish following in Somaliland in early 1920. The book discusses the relationships between air control and the survival of Royal Air Force in Iraq and between air power and indirect imperialism in the Hashemite kingdoms. It discusses Hugh Trenchard's plans to substitute air for naval or coastal forces, and assesses the extent to which barriers of climate and geography continued to limit the exercise of air power. Indigenous responses include being terrified at the mere sight of aircraft to the successful adaptation to air power, which was hardly foreseen by either the opponents or the supporters of air policing. The book examines the ethical debates which were a continuous undercurrent to the stream of argument about repressive air power methods from a political and operational perspective. It compares air policing as practised by other European powers by highlighting the Rif war in Morocco, the Druze revolt in Syria, and Italy's war of reconquest in Libya.

Elevated blood lipid levels are among the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The class of substances most commonly used for lowering blood lipids is the type of cholesterol-lowering drug known as statins. Taking cholesterol-lowering drugs can lead to disruption of the coenzyme Q10 balance and muscle metabolism. In addition, statin therapy increases the need for selenium, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and L-carnitine. This guide provides patients with important medical information about the interactions of their medicines with these micronutrients. This way, patients can optimise their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication, and improve their quality of life!
