Given the sometimes extraordinary politicization of culture, it is surprising that Sesame Street has gained acceptance and legitimacy in more than fifty countries. Sesame Street's global success raises two questions. First, how does a US icon like Sesame Street spread around the world, gaining acceptance as a local cultural product? Second, how does the nonprofit that created it, Sesame Workshop, and its partners around the world navigate cultural differences, manage conflicts, and construct shared collective representations to create Sesame Street programs that resonate with local audiences? Tamara Kay answers these questions using data from seven years of intensive ethnographic fieldwork and 200 in-depth interviews with Sesame Workshop staff and international partners-including their real-time interactions-from seventeen countries within four regions around the world. Kay argues that Sesame Workshop's secret is its engagement in coproduction, meaning it works with partners as a trans

The developed methodology is based on the ultrasonic attenuation spectroscopy and the sound speed measurement methods, supported by data science programs. The complementary studies include acoustic streaming, designing a small-scale rotational test cell with an annular flow channel, testing it for various applications

Attention to lived religion has significantly shaped religious studies and has only recently impacted the field of Buddhism. Rather than asserting a separation between "real" religion happening within sacred scriptures and official organizations on the one hand, and "folk" traditions practiced by everyday adherents on the other, the lived religion model understands the religious experience as far more complex, implying an ongoing negotiation of practice and belief, which occurs within and outside of official, congregational settings. Given the religion's openness to incorporating and adapting various religious traditions, understanding belief systems, doctrinal interpretations, and ethical commitments on the ground are particularly salient within Buddhist traditions. Approaching Buddhism as a lived tradition has transformed the discipline over the past few decades, shifting attention to the relationship between doctrines, beliefs, and practices among ordinary adherents.
