Setting the scene -- 2. Migration histories -- 3. The meaning of work -- 4. Identities negotiated through dress(ing) -- 5. Religious and cultural sites -- 6. Life-cycle rituals and (transnational practices -- Final reflections: the art of negotiating identities."Identities in Practice draws a nuanced picture of how the experience of migration affects the process through which Sikhs in Finland and California negotiate their identities. What makes this study innovative with regard to the larger context of migration studies is the contrast it provides between experiences at two Sikh migration destinations. By using an ethnographic approach, Hirvi reveals how practices carried out in relation to work, dress, the life-cycle, as well as religious and cultural sites, constitute important moments in which Sikhs engage in the often transnational art of negotiating identities. Laura Hirvi's rich ethnographic account brings to the fore how the construction of identities is a creative process that is conditioned and infiltrated by questions of power. Identities in Practice will appeal to scholars who are interested in the study of cultures, identities, migration, religion, and transnationalism."Studia Fennica.Ethnologica ;15.SikhsMigrationsSikhsFinlandSikhsCaliforniaSikhsMigrations.SikhsSikhs294.609908.82946Hirvi Laura946660AuAdUSAAuAdUSAUkMaJRU9910153745203321Identities in practice2138856UNINA03423nam 22005775 450 991029994730332120200702160036.03-319-75187-510.1007/978-3-319-75187-0(CKB)4100000002485485(DE-He213)978-3-319-75187-0(MiAaPQ)EBC5576619(PPN)224638033(EXLCZ)99410000000248548520180209d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierParametric Interval Algebraic Systems /by Iwona Skalna1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (XXIV, 191 p. 26 illus.) Studies in Computational Intelligence,1860-949X ;766Includes index.3-319-75186-7 Introduction -- Interval arithmetic -- Alternative arithmetic -- Interval and parametric interval matrices -- Linear systems -- Methods for solving parametric interval linear systems -- Methods for computing parametric solution -- Parametric interval linear programming problem.This self-contained book presents a framework for solving a general class of linear systems with coefficients being continuous functions of parameters varying within prescribed intervals. It also provides a comprehensive overview of the theory related to solving parametric interval linear systems and the basic properties of parametric interval matrices. In particular, it develops several new algorithms delivering sharp rigorous bounds for the solutions of such systems with full mathematical rigor. The framework employs the arithmetic of revised affine forms that enables the readers to handle dependent data. The book is intended not only for researchers interested in developing rigorous methods of numerical linear algebra, but also for engineers dealing with problems involving uncertain data. The theory discussed is also useful in various other fields of numerical analysis, in computer graphics, economics, computational geometry, computer-aided design, computer-assisted proofs, computer graphics, control theory, solving constraint satisfaction problems, and global optimization.Studies in Computational Intelligence,1860-949X ;766Computational intelligenceSystem theoryArtificial intelligenceComputational Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11014Systems Theory, Controlhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13070Artificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Computational intelligence.System theory.Artificial intelligence.Computational Intelligence.Systems Theory, Control.Artificial Intelligence.006.3Skalna Iwonaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059063MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299947303321Parametric Interval Algebraic Systems2540274UNINA
