Sommario/riassunto

"Increased interaction between sign language communities and the mainstream societies in which they function is creating the potential for greater equality of opportunity for people who are deaf and hard of hearing. In this volume, renowned scholars and policy makers from around the world present innovative and groundbreaking perspectives on the relationships among sign language, sustainable development, and equal opportunities.  The contributors to this volume offer creative and open-minded explorations of the construct of sustainability that are informed by their work with deaf individuals, deaf communities, families of deaf children, and other stakeholders. Sign Language, Sustainable Development, and Equal Opportunities describes sustainability in relation to:   ·   identity, resilience, and well-being  ·partic­ipatory citizenship  ·historical perspectives on sign language use in educational contexts  ·sign language learning and teaching  ·human rights and



inclusive education  ·literate thought and literacy  ·the sign language factor and the development of sign language communities in sub-Saharan Africa  ·sign language legislation     These changing communities' understanding of what is required to become sustainable--in areas such as full participation and citizenship in society, economic well-being, access to quality education, and cultural and linguistic identity--is also taking new forms. This work contributes to the paradigm shifts regarding deaf emancipation and deaf education taking place around the world"--

Sommario/riassunto

Long description: With the ongoing transition of the electrical power system to a more sustainable generation structure we need new ideas and solutions for a safe and reliable energy supply. We named the NEIS event Conference on sustainable energy supply and integration of energy storage systems. This implies that the future power system design demands a sustainable approach with several contributions and ideas from different application fields. The NEIS 2019 was the seventh conference event, providing an annual occasion for scientists to present their current work. A special focus of this year`s topics was placed on electrical power grids and grid related aspects such as grid monitoring and protection as well as electro-mobility. The speakers and participants came from South Africa, India, Iran, Poland, Austria and Germany. Every year we have at least one international keynote-speaker to bring new impulse to the participants and enhance the international collaboration within the community.
