TL;DR: It is demonstrated that blowfly larval development is slightly impacted by paracetamol if present in the rearing foodstuff particularly during days 2–4 of development.
Abstract: This paper demonstrates that blowfly larval development is slightly impacted by paracetamol if present in the rearing foodstuff particularly during days 2–4 of development. Since paracetamol and similar analgesic drugs are involved in a large number of overdose deaths each year this information is of importance where blowfly growth is used to estimate the minimum postmortem interval.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a critical assessment of Max Weber's rationalization thesis, develop an alternative to Weber's classical argument, and explore the impact of local cultures on the McDonaldization process.
Abstract: McDonaldization is the most prominent and powerful instance of rationalization in contemporary societies. This article provides a critical assessment of Max Weber's rationalization thesis, develops an alternative to Weber's classical argument, and explores the impact of local cultures on the McDonaldization process. Whereas modernization could be said to follow a linear path of historical development, the differentiation of modernity and the rise of hybrid cultures can be defined as an example of “liquid differentiation.” The argument is that Fordist models of unidimensional rationalization are being replaced by a new dynamic in which there is a permanent but unstable interaction between linear and liquid modernity. This concept of a dynamic is important because it avoids the simple dichotomy between McDonaldized modernity and postmodernity.

TL;DR: The authors examined globalization from the perspective of both the West and the East, and explored the meaning of a global perspective through various concrete examples: religion, migration, medicine, terrorism, global disasters, citizenship, multiculturalism, media and popular culture.
Abstract: Do we confuse globalization for Americanization? What are the distinctive elements in the interplay of the local and the global?This much needed book is the first full length text to examine globalization from the perspective of both the West and the East. It considers globalization as a general social and economic process, and the challenges it presents for Western social science. The meaning of a global perspective is explored through various concrete examples: religion, migration, medicine, terrorism, global disasters, citizenship, multiculturalism, media and popular culture. Introduced with a forward from Roland Robertson the book is brimming with novel interpretations and fresh insights that will contribute to illuminating the practical realities of globalization.

TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of evidence is presented supporting this simple and compelling premise and implications for consumer behavior are derived for consumer behaviour because the construct of extended self involves consumer behavior rather than buyer behavior, it appears to be a much richer construct than previous formulations positing a relationship between selfconcept and consumer brand choice.
