Zak&Ting har synts i serietidningen Nemi, med korta avslutade äventyr. Nu tillbaka i en lång, sammanhängande historia som sträcker sig till helvetet och tillbaka igen. Det började 2009 med en idé att berätta om “Jobbiga människor” som något som inte är en konstant, något relativt. Och förstås ett roligt äventyr, med värme, humor och kärlek på samma gång! Efter åtta år av hårt arbete och många möten med inspirerande människor är det äntligen klart. Häng med på en resa som tar dig till oanade höjder såväl som djupa dalar. Allt kan hända! I del 1 av 4 av Jobbiga jävlar: Zak och Ting befinner sig hos sina vänner Lovisa och Janne för en flärdfull fest i deras magnifika slott. En vän till Lovisa verkar inte må så bra och vill gå undan till ett annat rum för att gråta. Ting kan inte låta bli att försöka hjälpa till. Zak vill helst inte blanda sig i, men hänger som vanligt på ändå. Det visar sig bli ett större projekt än någon av dem någonsin hade kunnat tänka sig. Yvette Gustafsson är serietecknare och illustratör bosatt i Göteborg. Förutom Zak&Ting gör hon vetenskapsserier till Populär Astronomi och jobbar med bland andra Universeum för att mixa vetenskap med populärkultur och hon lär barn och ungdomar (och ibland även vuxna) att berätta i både ord och bild.

I del 2 av 4 av Jobbiga jävlar: Zak&Ting hamnar i helvetet efter den stora jordbävningen, och de har fortfarande Malin med sig. Eftersom de inte är människor som kan stryka med i en jordbävning så tillhör de egentligen inte helvetet, och spenderar sina dagar med att driva runt och se andras hemska straff. Till sist erbjuder Belsebub dem en väg ut ur helvetet, men det är inte en lätt väg. Det som väntar dem är sju olika helveten, sju olika sätt att förgås...

När man inte vet hur lång en resa kommer att vara är det lätt att förlora både sig själv och varandra på vägen. Det får Zak, Ting och Malin erfara på sin långa och strapatsrika resa ut ur helvetet. De tre råkar ut för allt värre faror som hotar att slå ihjäl, dränka, sluka och förgöra dem. I denna tredje del av Jobbiga jävlar får vi bland annat träffa blodtörstiga amazoner och vi får reda på vad änglar gör i himlen. De tre blir mer osams än någonsin förr, så osams att det kanske blir deras död. Ska de lyckas använda sina olika personligheter och kunskaper för att överleva? Kanske är de själva sina egna värsta fiender... Dessutom! Ett nytecknat äventyr med självaste Belsebub i huvudrollen som extramaterial. Här får vi följa med på en dag i Belsebubs liv och se hur han har det på jobbet. Vad gör han? Har han en chef? Vem är egentligen chef i helvetet?

Zak, Ting och Malin har blivit åtskilda från varandra och nu måste de komma till tals med vad som kan vara deras värsta fiende någonsin – dem själva. Hur länge kan man kämpa mot sin egen spegelbild? För evigt, verkar det som. Går det ens att vinna mot sina egna värsta tankar? Häng med i det fartfyllda äventyret och få reda på om och hur Zak&Ting tar sig igenom de faror som väntar på vägen ut ur helvetet. Kommer Malin hänga med dem för evigt nu? Svaret på det och på gåtan som gjorde att de hamnade i helvetet avslöjas äntligen!

A decade ago, the corporate world viewed grid computing as a curiosity. Today, it views it as an opportunity--a chance to reduce costs, improve performance, fund new projects, and take advantage of under-utilized capacity. The engineering behind this transformation has been amply documented. Until now, however, little has been written to prepare managers, executives, and other decision-makers to implement grid computing in a sensible and effective way.Grid Computing: The Savvy Manager's Guide examines the technology from a rigorous business perspective, equipping you with the practical knowledge you need to assess your options and determine what grid computing approach is right for your enterprise. This book is heavy on real-world experience, distilling from a rich assortment of case studies the best practices currently at work in a variety of industries. Always attentive to grid computing’s many competitive advantages, it is also realistic about the challenges of selling the idea to staff and making it a part of your company’s culture.

Legal precarity, mobility, and the criminalization of migrants complicate the study of forced migration and exile. Traditional methodologies can obscure both the agency of displaced people and hierarchies of power between researchers and research participants. This project critically assesses the ways in which knowledge is co-created and reproduced through narratives in spaces of displacement, advancing a creative, collective, and interdisciplinary approach.Documenting Displacement explores the ethics and methods of research in diverse forced migration contexts and proposes new ways of thinking about and documenting displacement. Each chapter delves into specific ethical and methodological challenges, with particular attention to unequal power relations in the co-creation of knowledge, questions about representation and ownership, and the adaptation of methodological approaches to contexts of mobility. Contributors reflect honestly on what has worked and what has not, providing useful points of discussion for future research by both established and emerging researchers.Innovative in its use of arts-based methods, Documenting Displacement invites researchers to explore new avenues guided not only by the procedural ethics imposed by academic institutions, but also by a relational ethics that more fully considers the position of the researcher and the interests of those who have been displaced.

Explores grading strategies for English composition teachers that are consistent with modern discourse and pedagogical theories.CHOICE 1997 Outstanding Academic BooksGrading is one of the thorniest issues writing teachers must deal with, yet, surprisingly little has been written on this topic. As writing teachers move increasingly toward practices that focus on writing as a process, they face a growing need to reconsider their systems of grading to determine whether or not these systems support their pedagogies. The authors interrogate the grading of individual papers as well as portfolios and the assigning of end-of-term grades. This collection explores the issues and problems that have emerged as conventional grading practices have lagged behind and been challenged by new theories of language. While the book will be of interest to theorists, Zak and Weaver have also made the book relevant and useful to teachers whose primary interest is the practical consequences of theory in their classrooms. Where theoretical discussion takes place, the language is clear and accessible. Many of the authors write directly from personal experience, telling stories of the classroom or writing of new techniques and approaches they have tried. They speak with the voices of teachers, and the tone and content of their words convey a sense of the immediacy of the topic.

An innovative roadmap to facing our past and present selvesHonest, aching, and intimate, self-elegies are unique poems focusing on loss rather than death, mourning versions of the self that are forgotten or that never existed. Within their lyrical frame, multiple selves can coexist—wise and naïve, angry and resigned—along with multiple timelines, each possible path stemming from one small choice that both creates new selves and negates potential selves. Giving voice to pain while complicating personal truths, self-elegies are an ideal poetic form for our time, compelling us to question our close-minded certainties, heal divides, and rethink our relation to others.  In Writing the Self-Elegy, poet Kara Dorris introduces us to this prismatic tradition and its potential to forge new worlds. The self-elegies she includes in this anthology mix autobiography and poetics, blending craft with race, gender, sexuality, ability and disability, and place—all of the private and public elements that build individual and social identity. These poems reflect our complicated present while connecting us to our past, acting as lenses for understanding, and defining the self while facilitating reinvention. The twenty-eight poets included in this volume each practice self-elegy differently, realizing the full range of the form. In addition to a short essay that encapsulates the core value of the genre and its structural power, each poet’s contribution concludes with writing prompts that will be an inspiration inside the classroom and out. This is an anthology readers will keep close and share, exemplifying a style of writing that is as playful as it is interrogative and that restores the self in its confrontation with grief.

This book explores the effect of the pandemic on human rights; civil and political rights (CPR); economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR); and freedoms around the world.The COVID-19 pandemic radically changed many aspects of the lives of individuals and entire societies. This crisis and the unprecedented experience required extraordinary solutions, regulations, and rapid responses from decision-makers to limit the spread of the disease and protect societies. To this end, during this period, many countries chose to impose states of emergency, resulting in the granting of extraordinary powers to the executive. This has sometimes been a very convenient pretext for introducing various types of restrictions, oppressive surveillance, and other legal arrangements that can be qualified as human rights violations. The authors make a scholarly summary of this period, identifying possible rights violations — but above all — recommendations for the future. This crisis has shown how important it is to have universal, equitable health and social protection systems that cover all community members equally and without discrimination, and the authors remodel the concept of "human rights" and "human needs". The book covers varied examples from lockdowns to vaccination to information control, across Spain, Poland, South Africa and Uganda, the Czech Republic, Belarus and Ukraine, and Russia.This book will appeal to higher-level students and scholars of law, political science, and international relations and will also be helpful for public policymakers at national and international levels.

Writing Across Professions (WAP) unites research on writing transfer and work-integrated learning (WIL) to explore how writers adapt and apply knowledge across academic and professional contexts. Drawing on multi-institutional research from the United States, Australia, Germany, and Singapore, the authors introduce Writing Across Professions (WAP), a model designed to prepare students for the diverse writing demands of global workplaces. This book explores the intersection of two key areas of scholarship: writing transfer research and WIL research. The research analyzed in these chapters examines how students develop writing expertise in professional contexts, the barriers they face as writers in the workplace, and the role of writing in shaping pre-professional writing identities. This book equips educators, students, and industry partners with strategies for facilitating writing transfer, fostering professional identity, and navigating the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in writing and effective communication. It is a vital resource for anyone committed to helping students become adaptable and flexible with writing (and communication) in workplace contexts.
