Biodynamic Excisional Skin Tension Lines for Cutaneous Surgery
This book is a detailed review of the ‘state-of-the art’ of skin lines in cutaneous surgery. Surgical literature is inundated with references to Langer’s Lines, Cleavage Lines, Wrinkle Lines and Relaxed Skin Tension Lines, but this title discusses the difference between these and incisional and excisional lines biomechanically, introducing the concept of biodynamic excisional skin tension (BEST) Lines. The problem with current concepts of skin tension lines is that they seem to differ in different textbooks, and lines for surgical egress, which work in conditions of low tension, are not necessarily suitable for skin cancer surgery. Biodynamic Excisional Skin Tension Lines for Cutaneous Surgery describes skin biomechanics, the properties of collagen and elastin, lower limb skin vascularity and also maps BEST lines across the body, making it a great reference guide for plastic or dermatologic surgery worldwide. As such, it will be beneficial for anyone performing cutaneous surgery and skin cancer excisions in clinical practice, or for those planning further research into skin biomechanics to read this volume.

Negotiating Identity in Modern Foreign Language Teaching
This edited book examines modern foreign language teachers who research their own and others’ experiences of identity construction in the context of living and teaching in UK institutions, primarily in the Higher Education sector. The book offers an insight into a key element of the educational and socio-political debate surrounding MFL in the UK: the teachers’ voices and their sense of agency in constructing their professional identities. The contributors use a combination of empirical research and personal reflection to generate knowledge about MFL teachers’ identity that can enhance how they are perceived in the social and educational establishments and raise awareness of key issues affecting the profession. This book will be of particular interest to language teachers, teacher trainers, applied linguists and students and scholars of modern foreign languages.

Power in Language, Culture, Literature and Education
In one of the contributions to this edited volume an interviewee argues that "English is power". For researchers in the field of English Studies this raises the questions of where the power of English resides and which types and practices of power are implied in the uses of English. Linguists, scholars of literature and culture, and language educators address aspects of these questions in a wide range of contributions. The book shows that the power of English can oscillate between empowerment and subjection, on the one hand enabling humans to develop manifold capabilities and on the other constraining their scope of action and reflection. In this edited volume, a case is made for self-critical English Studies to be dialogic, empowering and power-critical in approach.

What is the tension of a tension conductor?
The tension of a tension conductor refers to the force or stress applied to the conductor in order to keep it taut and in place. This tension is necessary to prevent the conductor from sagging or vibrating excessively, which could lead to damage or failure. The tension of a tension conductor is carefully calculated and maintained to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the electrical transmission or distribution system.

What is the tension in a tension conductor?
The tension in a tension conductor is the force exerted on the conductor due to the pulling or stretching of the material. This force is necessary to keep the conductor in place and support any loads that it may be carrying. The tension in a tension conductor is typically calculated based on the weight of the load it is supporting and the angle at which the load is pulling on the conductor.

Pressure or tension force?
Pressure is a force exerted uniformly over a surface, while tension is a force that is transmitted through a rope, cable, or other similar objects. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit area, such as Pascals, while tension is measured in units of force. Both forces can cause deformation or changes in shape in an object, but pressure acts in all directions while tension acts along the direction of the object.

What is ski tension?
Ski tension refers to the amount of pressure or force exerted on the ski base by the binding and the skier's weight. It is an important factor in determining the ski's performance and responsiveness on the snow. The right amount of ski tension allows for optimal control and maneuverability, while too much or too little tension can affect the ski's ability to grip the snow and transfer energy efficiently. Adjusting ski tension can help customize the ski's performance to suit different snow conditions and skiing styles.

Delivering Citizenship
The 21st century promises to be an "Age of Mobility." More people around the globe, from an ever greater variety of backgrounds, are migrating. As Europe and North America absorb larger and more diverse inflows, many policymakers, commentators, and academics are questioning whether their societies can cope with the influx. Citizenship has emerged as one of the key policy battlegrounds for such concerns. Citizenship lies at the nexus of a host of social policy issues because it provides definitions of identity, belonging, and participation in key aspects of society, including the right to vote. Governments recognize the urgent need to understand citizenship better. Once a narrow, somewhat static legal backwater, citizenship has become a dynamic policy vehicle for promoting the political incorporation of immigrants and, by extension, their more complete integration. This book is the first major product of the Transatlantic Council on Migration. It offers insights into key aspects of the citizenship debate from a policy perspective. It is a result of the deliberations and thinking of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, which brings together leading political figures, policymakers and innovative thinkers from the USA and Europe. The Council is a new initiative of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) in Washington, DC. The Bertelsmann Stiftung and the European Policy Centre (in cooperation with the King Baudouin Foundation) are the Council's policy partners.

Myśli nowoczesnego Polaka
"Od dawna już mam poczucie tego, że nasz systemat politycznego myślenia — o ile o takim może być mowa — w przeważnej mierze zbudowany jest na fałszach. W najważniejszych sprawach, w kwestjach dotyczących samej istoty naszego narodowego bytu, naszego stosunku do innych narodów i naszych widoków na samoistną przyszłość, polityczną i cywilizacyjną — zadawalniają nas zupełnie a nawet najlepiej nam smakują sądy, którym rzeczywistość zadaje kłam na każdym kroku. (...) Przez porównanie swego narodu z obcymi przekonałem się, że wiele z tych kłamstw naszą tylko myśl zatruwa, że niedorzeczności, które gdzieindziej powtarzane są tylko przez stare panny i w ogóle przez jednostki, żyjące po za społeczeństwem, odgrodzone od realnego życia, u nas stanowią podstawę myślenia ludzi poważnych, kierowników opinji i przodowników pracy publicznej, którzy na nich budują sądy dziejowe i nadzieje polityczne."

Muscle pump or tension?
The choice between muscle pump and tension depends on your fitness goals. Muscle pump refers to the temporary increase in muscle size and vascularity during a workout, which can provide a satisfying feeling of fullness and tightness in the muscles. On the other hand, tension refers to the sustained contraction and engagement of the muscles, which is essential for building strength and muscle mass over time. If your goal is to achieve a temporary aesthetic effect and improve muscle endurance, muscle pump may be more appealing. However, if you are focused on building strength and muscle size, prioritizing tension in your workouts would be more beneficial.

What are tension headaches?
Tension headaches are a common type of headache characterized by a dull, aching pain and a sensation of tightness or pressure around the head. They can be caused by muscle tension in the head, neck, and shoulders, as well as stress, anxiety, and poor posture. Tension headaches are often described as a band-like pressure around the head and can last from 30 minutes to several days. They are usually not severe and do not typically cause nausea or vomiting.

What destroys surface tension?
Surface tension can be destroyed by adding substances known as surfactants or surface-active agents. These substances disrupt the cohesive forces between water molecules at the surface, causing the surface tension to decrease. Surfactants have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) end and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) end, which allows them to interact with both water and other substances, effectively reducing the surface tension. Common examples of surfactants include soaps, detergents, and oils.
