Horns and Trumpets of the World
Authors: Montagu Jeremy
Published: February 2025

Humanity has blown horns and trumpets of various makes and models, lengths and diameters since prehistoric times. In Horns and Trumpets of the World, the eminent scholar Jeremy Montagu surveys the vast range in time and type of this instrument that has accompanied everything in human history from the war cry to the formal symphony, from the hunting call to the modern jazz performance.

No work on this topic offers as much detail or so many illustrations—over 150, in fact—of this remarkable instrument. Montagu’s examination starts with horns constructed from such unusual materials as seaweed, cane, and bamboo, and continues the journey of exploration through those of shell, wood, ivory, and metal. The chronological scope of Horns and Trumpets of the World is equally vast: it looks at instruments of the Bible and from the Bronze and Iron Ages respectively before diving headlong into those from the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods, and, following the Industrial Revolution, those that have appeared in the modern era. Drawing on the many instruments from the author’s own extensive collection, Montagu offers details, including measurements, at levels rarely seen in other surveys of this world of instrumentation.

Horns and Trumpet of the World should appeal to not only scholars and collectors, but professional brass players and manufacturers, as well as museums and institutions with a vested interest in our musical heritage.
Experiencing Led Zeppelin
Authors: Akkerman Gregg
Published: February 2025

In 1980, Led Zeppelin formally disbanded following the death of drummer John Bonham. Yet over three decade, the music, the mystique, and the legacy of this legendary rock act lives on. Reissues of their music sell in the millions, while rumors of reunion tours continue to electrify fans across the globe. The various solo projects pursued by the three surviving members—Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones—will forever live the shadow of the blinding light they generated as Led Zeppelin.

Conservatism and the Kissinger-Mao Axis
Authors: Sing Lam Lai
Published: February 2025

Kissinger’s dual-purpose instrument of the US-China and US-Soviet détente was devised to achieve a stable balance of power in the contemporary world in the second half of the 1960s. Stimulated by both Kissinger’s doctrine and the historical novel, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Mao’s global order of tripolarity was created to feature the new US-China relations in the early 1970s with his initiative of the ping-pong diplomacy through this Kissinger-Mao axis. This made his quest for a modernization revolution possible with the Western market oriented approach.

Strengthening Mao’s modernization program, Xiaoping’s “good-neighborhood” policy was designed to induce the world to help modernize China. Vitally including Russia with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Deng’s policy helped maintain a peaceful and stable international environment, though it also marked the end of Mao’s global order.

Perceiving the PRC’s rise as a threat to its dominance in the Asia Pacific region, the US containment effort was enhanced with US-Japanese collusion and siding with the Philippines and Vietnam in relevant maritime disputes with the PRC. The US united with the Republic of Korea, nations in Southeast Asia, and Australia in establishing a wide-range alliance to go against the “China threat.”

The post-Cold War, eastward expansion of the US-led NATO and the Russian determination to be a great power again, contributed to tension with the United States. The Russian desire to maintain its nuclear deterrent capability was at odds with the US missile defense plans. Thus, the US deployment of its missile shield in Eastern Europe as part of its strategic configuration in Alaska and the Far East was to contain Russia from both the Far East and Europe.
A Brief Review of Recent Advances in the Use of Optical Fibres to Enhance Readout and Increase the Number of Physical Qubits in Superconducting Quantum Computers
Authors: Rovere de Santi Ricardo
Published: February 2025

The promise of quantum computing has tantalised researchers for decades, offering the potential for a paradigm shift in computational power and cryptography security. However, progress has been painstakingly slow, hindered by the immense challenges implemented in such systems. Until recently, advancements in quantum computing were stymied by the necessity of operating at near-absolute zero temperatures, a requirement that severely constrained practical applications. Transmitting signals from room temperature to the cryogenic environment posed a significant bottleneck, limiting quantum processors to a mere thousand quits. But in 2021, a groundbreaking study titled “Control and readout of a superconducting quit using a photon link” introduced a transformation innovation—the replacement of traditional coaxial lines with optical fibres and modulated light. The use of optical fibres revolutionises quantum communication, providing a pathway to realising a million-quit computer. This chapter delves into the significance of these breakthroughs and elucidates the novel advancements achieved over the past 3 years, propelled by the original work and more, and will present a very brief introduction to quantum computer.
Predicting Recessions and Information About Yield Curves and Stock Markets in Japan
Authors: Ishii Hokuto
Published: February 2025

Using data from the Japanese government bonds and stock markets, this study examines the predictability of Japanese recessions based on a probit model with instrument variables. By decomposing the term spread into the expected short-term interest rate and the term premium, this study analyzes the relationship between the components of the term spread and recessions. The results show that the predictive power of the term spread for recessions has declined since 1999—when Japan began employing an unconventional monetary policy. Additionally, stock market capitalization relative to nominal GDP is a useful predictor of recessions.

Pasture farming as a sustainable method of goat milk and dairy product production
Authors: Becskei Zsolt , Paskaš Snežana , Savić Mila , Pajić Marija
Published: February 2025

Pasture represents an economical and sustainable way of feeding goats. However, to fully leverage the benefits of grazing, farmers must manage several aspects, including plant diversity, potentially poisonous plants, pasture load, and the pasture's nutritional value. Moreover, combined grazing with goats, sheep, and cows is the most effective way to utilise pasture resources. Pasture-based diets impact milk and dairy products' nutritional and fatty acid profiles. When goats graze on diverse pastures, their diet typically includes a range of plants, such as grasses, legumes, and herbs, which enhance the nutritional content of their milk. This dietary diversity increases the presence of protein, fat, and beneficial fatty acids, such as omega-3 and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), both of which are associated with some health benefits. Additionally, pasture-based diets contribute to higher antioxidant levels in goat milk, including vitamins like A and E, which improve the milk's oxidative stability. Grazing improves goat's milk's nutritional and sensory quality, providing a natural method to enhance its value for consumers and dairy processors.

Authors: Suraj Kumar  , Kashif Naeem  , Mahendar Wanwari  , Tarique Aziz  , Adeel ur Rehman  , Vinod Kumar
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Cricoid pressure (CP), established by Brian Sellick in 1961, is a method employed to avert regurgitation and aspiration during endotracheal intubation. It is commonly employed in emergency procedures, where the danger of aspiration is increased due to full stomach conditions. Although commonly employed during rapid sequence induction and intubation, the effectiveness and appropriate implementation of CP remain contentious issues.
Objectives:  To assess the knowledge, attitudes, practices, and adherence rates of anesthesiologists regarding cricoid pressure application during rapid sequence induction in emergency settings at tertiary care hospitals in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.
Method A cross-sectional study was undertaken at The Indus Hospital, Aga Khan Hospital, Civil Hospital, JPMC, LNH, SIUT, Patel Hospital, and Abbasi Shaheed Hospital in Karachi over a six-month period from June 23, 2023, to December 23, 2023. A total of 85 anaesthesiologists were included in the present study. The questionnaire comprises three primary sections: knowledge of cricoid pressure, attitudes, and a final component addressing attitudes.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 30.73 ± 4.59 years. Merely 25% of participants accurately identified the anatomical position of the cricoid cartilage. Approximately 99% recognised that cricoid pressure is utilised to avert stomach aspiration during the induction of anaesthesia. Moreover, around 86% of individuals indicated that they acquired information predominantly through clinical practice.
Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings underscore the necessity for focused educational initiatives, standardised training programs, and continuous professional development to guarantee a uniform and evidence-based application of cricoid pressure in peri-operative care.
A Century of Changes in the Policy of Fiscal Support for Agriculture under the Leadership of the Communist Party of China
Authors: Li Haiyan
Published: February 2025

Financial support for agriculture is an important policy decision of the Communist Party of China to consistently support agricultural development. Based on historical institutionalism, looking at the evolution of the policy of fiscal support for agriculture over the past hundred years since the founding of the party, each stage can be roughly divided into: from "rent reduction and interest reduction" during the war, "scissors difference" after the founding of the People's Republic of China to absorb agricultural resources, to diversification of financial investment, the implementation of "more giving, less taking, and revitalization" for agriculture, and high-quality development in the new era. In the new journey of comprehensively advancing the · strategy of rural revitalization, the future fiscal policy of supporting agriculture should continue to adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, attach importance to the government's policy traction and the role of the market in resource allocation, actively respond to the demands of people's livelihood, enhance the endogenous development momentum and capacity of rural areas, and promote the good order change of the fiscal policy of supporting agriculture.

Objetivo: analizar los factores limitantes para el conocimiento del examen de Papanicolaou en las mujeres de edad fértil. Método: descriptivo observacional en 35 estudiantes. Resultados y Conclusión: Un resultado a considerar es que, aunque el 62.9% de las mujeres se había sometido al PAP test, un 37.1% nunca lo había hecho, citando la falta de tiempo y la vergüenza como principales barreras, esto indica que, además del desconocimiento, existen otros factores que influyen en la decisión de no realizarse el examen.

En la lógica de la participación para la construcción del conocimiento científico y su profundización en la disciplina de Trabajo Social, se sufraga a una mejor comprensión de los problemas sociales, sobre todo en la sociedad mexicana; problemas que son complejos y que derivan de problemas estructurales, como las tasas de crecimiento del producto interno bruto, el desarrollo industrial y tecnológico, las diferencias socioeconómicas regionales, el desempleo, la pobreza, la migración y la desigualdad social.

En este marco de los problemas estructurales y coyunturales, la disciplina de Trabajo Social; abona, no solo al conocimiento de los problemas sociales, sino también al cambio y su trasformación desde lo micro social, al interaccionar con la familia y los sujetos sociales que son parte fundamental de la cotidianidad de las localidades y su desarrollo.

Es esta obra, se presenta un amplio panorama de análisis de la realidad a partir de la reflexión y comprensión de una sociedad que ha venido experimentando cambios y que exige estar a la vanguardia de las necesidades que presenta el contexto y que requiere de la producción de nuevos conocimientos teóricos y metodológicos para hacerles frente.

El libro, se encuentra dividido en cuatro Ejes Temáticos: 1) Estudios sobre la disciplina, 2) Migración y Derechos Humanos, 3) Familia y problemas sociales, 4) Trabajo social y pandemia. En estos Ejes de análisis, se encuadran los productos de investigación, de pares académicos e investigadoras de la disciplina de trabajo social a escala nacional; PTC que son parte fundamental de las plantas académicas de las Instituciones de Educación Superior de México; además de ser socias y socios e integrantes de la Academia.

A study was conducted to investigate the impact of concentration on the graphene-manganese oxide (EPG/MnxOy) working electrode for glucose analysis using the cyclic voltammetry method. To characterize the electrode material, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and XRD analyses were performed. The results revealed that the graphene surface contained aggregates in the form of small particles attached to the graphene. Various absorption bands corresponding to aliphatic -O-H, -C-H, -C=C aromatic, -C=O, -C=C, -C-O, and Mn-O groups were identified in the graphene and graphene/MnxOy materials. Crystal patterns of manganese oxide were also identified at angles 2q = 30.57o and 44.39o, representing the Mn3O4 crystal pattern, at the angle 2q=34.12o denoting the MnO2 crystal pattern, and at angles 2q= 39.85o, 57.85o, and 68.94o representing the MnO crystal patterns. The optimal electrode composition was found to be graphene:MnxOy 0.8:0.5, as indicated by an anodic peak current (Ipa) of 122 µA at a potential of -0.11 V. The most effective supporting electrolyte was determined to be NaNO3, with an anodic peak current (Ipa) of 26.4 µA at a potential of -0.13 V. The detection limit for glucose was 4.45×10-3 M. The repeatability test of EPG/MnxOy yielded a result of 1.77%.

Research has been conducted on the application of Ouw Natural Clay (LAO) as an adsorbent for Pb metal ions and Cd metal ions, following the addition of hydrochloric acid (HCl). The concentrations of HCl used were 2, 3, and 4 M. Characterization was performed to evaluate the differences in clay characteristics before and after the addition of HCl. The Surface Area Analyzer (SAA) was utilized for characterization, specifically to determine the specific surface area, pore volume, and pore size. The results of the characterization indicated an increase in specific surface area, from 31.37 m2/g for pure LAO to 99.68 m2/g for LAO-HCl 4 M. Furthermore, the addition of hydrochloric acid to the Ouw clay natural resulted in a reduction in the capacity to adsorb Pb metal ions and Cd metal ions.

This study aims to analyse whether precious metals can be hedged assets concerning green energy indices from 8 January 2019 to 6 December 2024. About precious metals, the futures market was analysed: copper (HGH5) and silver (SIH5), the gold spot market (XAU) was also included to provide robustness, and the green indices are S&P Global Clean Energy (SPGTCLEN), NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy (CELS), and the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN). The sample was divided into four sub-periods: 8 January 2019 to 31 December 2019, referred to as Pre-Covid-19; the second sub-period, referred to as the first Covid-19 Wave, comprises the period from 2 January 2020 to 31 December 2020; the second Covid-19 Wave includes the years from 2 January 2021 to 23 February 2022; Finally, the last sub-period, called Conflict, covers the years from 24 February 2022 to 6 December 2024. The green indices (CELS, ICLN, SPGTCLEN) showed extremely high correlations with each other in all periods, reducing the effectiveness of diversification in the sector. Gold remained a consistent, safe haven asset, with negative or very low correlations with the green indices, especially during global crises. Silver evolved from moderate to negative correlations with the green indices, reinforcing its usefulness as a hedging asset. Copper, initially positively correlated with green indices, has exhibited negative correlations recently, making it a strategic asset in portfolios with green energy assets. It was also found that only copper (HGH5) was contagious during the first wave of COVID-19, which validates the evidence found earlier through unconditional correlations. In conclusion, these results highlight that gold and silver effectively protect against market shocks, while copper can be used as a diversifying asset in green energy portfolios, thus requiring differentiated strategies to maximise diversification benefits.
