This chapter samples signs to do with eating out. They include names of restaurants, ordering and getting foods, dish names, and sample menus. The range of names for places to eat includes 饭店, 饭庄, 酒家, 酒楼, 餐厅, 馆, 店, 居, 厨房, 楼, 美食街, and 排档. As is the case with hotels, many restaurants have misleading names. For example, 酒家 and 酒楼 (distinct from 酒店 ‘hotel’) are not drinking establishments. In fact, few restaurants are straightforwardly called 饭馆 or 餐馆. 饭店 is used more for hotels than restaurants. To sound fancy and literary, aliases for place names are often used to refer to regional cuisines instead of official full names.

This chapter delves into the challenges and rewards of working in remote areas of countries such as Australia and small Pacific nations. Teaching strategies are presented to assist in maintaining a positive learning environment in remote and small Pacific-nation classrooms. The importance of the relationships among and between parents, students, teachers and other community members is explored, along with practical suggestions for making the most of the available resources. This chapter explores strategies for making the most of available resources and the invaluable professional experience of working in these areas.

The chapter examines the relevance of (international) human rights law for international arbitration. It advances the proposition that (international) human rights law is part of the fabric of international arbitration. Hence the chapter sets out firstly thehuman rights norms and human rights methodology as far it is relevant in the international arbitration context. It then discusses human rights as the means to justify the existence of international arbitration. In its main part, the chapter considers the relevant human rights norms in commercial and investment arbitration and discusses the application of international human rights law in the commercial and investment arbitration context.

There have been several calls for transformation in food systems to address the challenges of climate change, hunger, continuing population pressure, and to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although complicated, working across scales and actors is critical for food-system transformation, alongside understanding the entry points. As agricultural research for development (AR4D) is ultimately about farming practices and farmer livelihoods, a focus on the local scale is essential, as in most cases, farms and districts are where the most action is required. Through effective cross-scale work, lessons from local levels can shape the thinking of regional and national governments, as well as the private sector. Involving multiple and ideally nested scales, designing sets of solutions, and developing actionable, fundable, and implementable solutions is likely to provide rich food-system outcomes. Partners need to provide the tools, signals, and resources so that local people, communities, and policy planners are empowered to drive transformation.

Regional anaesthesia is the use of local anaesthetic drugs to block sensations of pain from a large area of the body. It is used to allow surgery to proceed either without general anaesthesia or combined with general anaesthesia to provide superior pain relief than can be achieved with analgesic drugs alone. It is broadly divided into two categories. Neuraxial blocks involve injection of local anaesthetic close to the spinal cord, such as in the subarachnoid (intrathecal) space (known as a spinal) or in the epidural space (known as an epidural). Peripheral nerve blocks involve injection of local anaesthetic near peripheral nerves or plexuses. This can be performed either using landmark technique, a nerve stimulator, or with ultrasound guidance depending on the chosen block. Common equipment and techniques used to perform regional anaesthesia are discussed in this chapter, as well as advantages, potential risks, and the patient preparation and monitoring that is required.

Sean Lathan’s chapter addresses the recent explosion of article submissions to the James Joyce Quarterly from areas outside Europe and North America, especially Asia, and consider the questions of academic methodology and critical apparatus that this new situation raises. Ulysses, as we know, has been translated into dozens of languages and is read across the world.Approximately half of the submissions that arrive at the JJQ each year come from outside the United States, and over a third are from non-Anglophone countries.In a marked break from even ten years ago, the journal now regularly receives submissions from Iran, China, Sweden, and Japan. What does it mean to think about Joyce in this genuinely global context?This question is itself connected to a larger set of debates now playing out in modernist studies more generally about the intersections between the local and the regional, the national and the global, the marginal and the cosmopolitan, the intra-imperial and the transnational. This chapter explores what it means to see Ulysses from these different critical vantage points and how that, in turn, shapes our perception of the book as a work of art, a piece of globally circulated cultural capital, and an icon that looms over contemporary literary history.The aim of this chapteris not to claim Joyce’s masterwork for any particular critical school, but instead to explore how Ulysses changes when seen from these different perspectives.The chapter concludes by speculating about what this might portend for a new understanding of Joyce, as well as for a modernism no longer organized around national or linguistic coordinates.

The health needs and experiences of rural residents are diverse. While common themes, such as limitation of access to health services are easily identified, also relevant is the diversity related to the geographic, social, economic and environmental factors that mould the character of a community. Rural people have poorer health outcomes, poorer health behaviours, and are more likely to experience the social determinants of health, particularly lower incomes, level of education and a higher proportion of First Nations’ populations (AIHW, 2019; Wakerman et al., 2017). This chapter employs a conceptual framework to assist in describing the complexity of rural health outcomes. The framework proposes that the interrelationships of six concepts can be used to interpret issues and scenarios in rural and remote health. These concepts are: geographical isolation, the rural locale and the social interactions of people in the local area, local health responses, broader health systems, broader social systems, and power relations. This chapter explores each of the six concepts in the framework to understand how public health measures at all levels can contribute to rural health outcomes.

Chapter 2 explains the conditions on imports for the imposition of safeguard measures, including the requirement of unforeseen developments, the effect of GATT obligations, the product scope, the increase in imports in absolute and relative terms, and the notion of importation in special conditions. Chapter 2 also explains the application of safeguards on a general basis, the question of potential exclusions and the notion of parallelism.

This chapter begins with an overview of the rural and regional clinical context, and explores the connections that rural mental health practitioners have within rural communities. Models of mental health promotion and service delivery are discussed. The nature of life in rural settings and the ways in which climate and geographical location affect the mental health of people are also considered in the context of mental health resilience and vulnerability. Attention is given to the effects of natural disasters, agribusiness, mining, the itinerant rural workforce and under-employment, and the associated mental health consequences. This chapter discusses some rural community benefits in regard to mental health promotion, such as a deeply felt sense of close social proximity despite significant geographical distances between rural people. After reading this chapter, students will be able to reflect on, and critically think about, the ways in which mental health promotion, well-being and recovery can be enhanced among rural populations.

Mary Pat Brady’s chapter poses an alternative approach to hemispheric fiction by reading not according the scales of concentric geometries of space (local, regional, national, transnational), but instead reconceptualizing what she terms “pluriversal novels of the 21st century.” She argues for attending to the complexly mixed temporalities, perspectives, and languages of novels that reject the dualism of monoworlds (center/periphery) for the unpredictability of stories anchored in multiple space-times. While this is not an exclusively 21st-century phenomenon, she shows that pluriveral fiction has flourished recently, as works by Linda Hogan, Jennine Capó Crucet, Julia Alvarez, Gabby Rivera, Karen Tei Yamashita, Ana-Maurine Lara, and Evelina Zuni Lucero demonstrate.

By examining musical theatre icons and their major collaborations starting from Oklahoma! (1943) and ending with Waitress (2016), this chapter chronicles the evolution of the American musical, as practitioners assembled creative teams in response to shifting economics and the rise of mediated popular culture on television and the internet. Film studios and corporations such as Disney now develop and produce their own musicals, bringing new resources and structures that both support and expand the collaborative creation of musical theatre. At the same time, regional theatres and not-for-profit venues developed new models of their own for participating in musical theatre collaboration. Whether conceived in consultation with a corporate producer or tested through a low-budget laboratory process, what's inside twenty-first-century American musicals remains the product of creative, collaborative relationships.

This chapter discusses midwifery practices in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in urban and regional areas. It begins by considering the challenges Indigenous women face when they experience maternity care in mainstream healthcare settings, and the importance of providing and receiving culturally safe maternity care. Traditional birthing practices used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women prior to colonisation are discussed. The chapter provides an overview of maternal and neonatal health today by considering statistics related to the health of Indigenous mothers and infants, fertility rates and gestational issues Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women may face, along with recent improvements in antenatal care and infant health outcomes. Current birthing practices are discussed, before Indigenous-led models of care are presented as ways to provide culturally safe care to pregnant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. The chapter considers the role of Indigenous nurses and midwives in contributing to better maternal outcomes for Indigenous women and their babies, and provides concrete ways in which all nurses and midwives can provide culturally safe care.
