The experiences of discrimination suffered in Cuba by such people as African American congressman Arthur Mitchell became important not only to American tourists, but also to Afro-Cubans fighting against authoritarism and racial discrimination in the island. Forging Diaspora shows how intimate those linkages between Afro-Cubans and African Americans became during the first half of the twentieth century. It also shows the initiatives and mobility of Afro-Cubans elites and African Americans elites as they sought to navigate not only racial politics and discrimination, but also their place inside the developing American empire. Through the concept of diaspora developed in the book, we can understand how Afro-descendants created an identity that both inserted them into larger cultural and political networks, and at the same time helped them in their fights for national political rights.

Results show that students have little knowledge of the subject, say that they get most of their information from their teachers, have fairly positive perceptions of Islam and the Arab and Muslim world, and have suggestions to improve the curriculum.

Serum biochemistry profiles were determined for 47 animals and haematological profiles for 41, and the results from males, females, and animals under or over one year of age were analysed as separate groups and as pooled populations. The normal ranges for a wide variety of haematological and serum biochemical parameters of the Eurasian otter are presented, and significant differences with age and sex are detailed.

This descriptive analysis offers examples of successful attempts to engender pride even in the face of formidable social and cultural obstacles. In schools where both faculty and students expect failure, often

The prevalence of AD has increased exponentially over the years, along with information on how it may occur. Diagnosis of AD is typically based on physical examination and history and may be confirmed based on chronicity of symptoms, itching, and age-specific morphology. Nonpharmacological approaches include psychological interventions such as behavior modification, stress reduction techniques, and group psychotherapeutic treatments or may also include dietary restrictions, ultraviolet (UV) phototherapy, house dust mite reduction, and avoidance of enzyme-enriched detergents. Herbal therapy has also showed some promise particularly Zemaphyte®, Kamillosan®, and Shiunko®. Pharmacological agents that show great efficacy include emollients, topical corticosteroids, and topical calcineurin inhibitors.
