The U. S. Women's Soccer Team
Authors: Lisi Clemente A.
Published: February 2025

Updated through the 2012 Olympics.

On a July afternoon in 1999, the proudest moment for U.S. soccer occurred in Pasadena, California. In the presence of more than 90,000 fans and viewed by another 40 million on television, the U.S. women outlasted China to win the World Cup. Although the United States has lagged far behind other countries in the men's game, it has been at the forefront when it comes to women's soccer.

In the second edition of The U.S. Women's Soccer Team: An American Success Story, Clemente A. Lisi examines how the sport has gained popularity over the past few decades. While other books have been written about the team during a specific year, such as those focused solely on the World Cup win on U.S. soil, Lisi looks beyond this event, detailing the program's infancy and how it steadily became a model for women's teams around the globe.

Beginning with the start of the U.S. program in 1985, Lisi recounts the development of the women's team, highlighted by their two first place finishes in the Women's World Cups (1991 and 1999) and four Olympic women's gold medals (1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012). In addition to chronicling the history of the team as a whole, this book offers mini profiles and photographs of some of the best players over the years, including Julie Foudy, Amy Rodriguez, Hope Solo, and Mia Hamm.

Historical Dictionary of Tokyo
Authors: Cybriwsky Roman
Published: February 2025

Tokyo is Japan's largest city and its capital. It is also one of the largest cities in the world and a major center of global economic influence. The origins of human settlement in what is today Tokyo are lost in prehistory. The city started out quite modestly as a small castle town of Edo in 1457, then the center of the Tokugawa shogunate from 1603-1868, the rapidly modernizing and Westernizing capital of the nation during the Meiji Period (1868-1912), and the capital of a prosperous nation and growing empire thereafter. Tokyo was utterly devastated during World War II, but this was not the first time Tokyo had to start seemingly from new. Due to many fires and earthquakes, the city has constantly rebuilt itself and today it outdoes all its previous emanations by far.

The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Tokyo is a much-needed reference source on the city. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, an extensive bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on people, places, events, and other terminology about the city of Tokyo. This book is a must for anyone interested in Japan and Tokyo.

Beethoven's Immortal Beloved
Authors: Walden Edward
Published: February 2025

In 1812, Ludwig van Beethoven wrote three letters to an unnamed woman, whom he called "Immortal Beloved." The letters were discovered after Beethoven's death and ever since their discovery, there has been speculation regarding whom that Immortal Beloved might have been. In Beethoven's Immortal Beloved: Solving the Mystery, Edward Walden carefully and meticulously presents his case that the woman who Beethoven loved was Bettina Brentano, an artistic and talented musician in her own right.

Setting the foundation for his argument, Walden begins the book with a general historical and sequential narrative that interweaves the lives of the three principle protagonists: Beethoven, the writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and Bettina Brentano. Walden explores in detail the key elements of the factual narrative and shows how those elements support his claim that Bettina was the Immortal Beloved. In addition, Walden addresses the attacks other Beethoven scholars have made against Bettina and reveals how such attacks were mistaken or unjustified.

Thoroughly and rigorously researched, yet presented in a clear and engaging style, Beethoven's Immortal Beloved will appeal to Beethoven scholars, music lovers, and general readers alike, who will be captivated by the solving of this fascinating mystery.

A Review of Sports-Related, Life-Threatening Injuries Presenting to Emergency Departments, 2009-18
Authors: Ibiebele Abiye , Mannix Rebekah , Meehan William
Published: February 2025

Introduction: In the United States, 3.7 million people present to an emergency department (ED) annually with an injury related to sports or athletic activity. A prior study a decade ago revealed that 14% of life-threatening injuries presenting to EDs were sports related, with this percentage being higher in the pediatric population. However, with changes in sports participation and regulatory changes over the past decade, it is unclear whether the proportion of life-threatening sports-related injuries has changed. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), consisting of patients from years 2009–2018. Life-threatening injuries were defined as International Classification of Diseases 9 and 10 codes for skull fracture, cervical spine fractures, intracranial hemorrhage, traumatic pneumothorax/hemothorax, liver lacerations, spleen lacerations, traumatic aortic aneurysm or rupture, gastric/duodenal rupture, heat stroke, and commotio cordis. Injuries were classified as sports related based on external cause of injury codes. We examined the relationship between demographic variables and sports-related injuries using Pearson chi-square analysis. Results: From the years 2009–2018 there were 256,564 observed ED visits. Of these, 646 were for life-threatening injuries, representing a national estimate of 3,456,166 patients over the 10-year period. Thirteen percent were sports related. Of the life-threatening injuries, 77.5% were injuries to the head and neck, and 9.1% of these were sports related. The proportion of life-threatening injuries due to sports and recreation was higher among pediatric patients than adult patients (30.4% vs 9.9%, P<0.001). The proportion of sports-related life-threatening injuries to the head and neck was also higher among pediatric patients than adult patients (23.3% vs 6.4%, P<0.001) Conclusion: A substantial proportion of life-threatening injuries occur during sports and recreation, especially among pediatric patients. Compared to a similar study a decade ago, there is a similar proportion of life-threatening injuries that are sports related, however; there does seem to be a decrease in the proportion of life-threatening sports-related injuries to the head and neck. Sports medicine physicians and sports organizations should continue to find effective ways to prevent life-threatening injuries in sports.

Improved Blockchain Technique based on Modified SLIM Algorithm for Cyber Security
Authors: Shareef Sarah Mohammed , Hassan Rehab Flaih
Published: February 2025

The number of cybersecurity incidents is increasing, and the cost of a security breach has a catastrophic financial effect. The existing real estate information systems require more robust and resilient cybersecurity solutions to secure hardware, software, and databases. Cybersecurity often relies on user behavior. Phishing attacks and social engineering can bypass blockchain security, highlighting the need for robust user education and awareness. Many blockchain networks face challenges in handling a high volume of transactions. Solutions that work well on a small scale may not perform efficiently as the network grows, leading to delays and increased costs. A secure system is a significant area in cybersecurity that protects digital transactions from unauthorized access. This paper proposes a new real estate transaction encryption scheme using the modified SLIM cryptography algorithm in the context of blockchain based on a 2Dimension Chialvo map with high nonlinearity generation of the substitution box (S-Box) to make it robust against many linear attacks, which is a novel approach to enhancing transaction speed and security. Modifying lightweight SLIM cryptography is highly resistant to linear and differential cryptanalysis attacks, providing adequate protection. The modified lightweight SLIM cryptography applies to wireless networks, IoT applications, and real estate systems. The performance analysis of the blockchain shows that it completes transactions in a short time of approximately 29.368877 in milliseconds and satisfies the Bit Independence Criterion (BIC) and Hamming Distance (HD) tests above 50%, the new hash will be regarded as good and trustworthy. The performance analysis of the proposed S-Box shows that it has high nonlinearity and satisfies the Strict Avalanche Criteria (SAC), BIC, balanced, and low linearity/differential probability. In addition, the strength and randomness of the random number generators are analyzed via a set of tests and guidelines provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) tests (approximately 97%) to ensure that the generated random data are sufficiently unpredictable and suitable for cryptographic applications.

Authors: Hera Safitri Indriana , Annisa Rully , Hardiyani Tati , Riyaningrum Wahyu
Published: February 2025

Sectio Caesarea is an increasingly common method of delivery, though it carries inherent risks, particularly intraoperative hypotension due to spinal block anesthesia. This research aims to examine the incidence of intraoperative hypotension in cesarean section patients with spinal block anesthesia at RSI Purwokerto. A descriptive quantitative research design with univariate analysis was employed, utilizing data from hypotension observation sheets of 30 patients. The results revealed that hypotension was most prevalent among the Late Adolescent (17-25 years) and Early Adult (26-35 years) age groups. The incidence of hypotension was highest at the 10th minute after anesthesia administration, affecting 17 patients (56.7%), while incidences at the 5th and 15th minutes were 33.3% and 10%, respectively. These findings emphasize the need for careful blood pressure monitoring during the first 15 minutes post-anesthesia to mitigate risks that could impact both maternal and fetal health. This research offers valuable insights for healthcare providers to enhance care quality by preventing and managing hypotension during cesarean section procedures.
Cocaine-induced oronasal communication of the midline of the palate: A case report
Authors: Vergara María Jesús , Cordero Escalona Javiera , Veloso Casado Valentina
Published: February 2025

Cocaine abuse poses a significant public health challenge, leading to severe systemic and localized complications. Intranasal cocaine use can result in chronic rhinitis, septal perforation, and palatal perforation due to its vasoconstrictive effects, which cause ischemia and tissue necrosis. We present the case of a 44- year-old woman with a 10-month history of palatal perforation, attributed to 12 years of chronic cocaine use, presented with nasal regurgitation, feeding difficulties, and cachexia. Examination revealed a 3 x 2 cm palatal perforation, nasal asymmetry, and a saddle nose deformity. Computerized tomography scans showed extensive nasal septum perforation and sinus mucosal thickening. Initial treatment involved antibiotics for sinusitis, followed by the fabrication of an obturator prosthesis to improve speech and feeding. The chronicity and extent of the palatal and nasal damage illustrates the severe consequences that can arise from sustained abuse. This case highlights not only the physical manifestations but also the challenges in managing such cases, emphasizing the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach. The integration of dental, otolaryngological, and psychological care is crucial for both immediate and long-term management. The main lesson from this case is the importance of comprehensive, patient-centered care that prioritizes stabilization and quality of life while supporting the patient’s path to rehabilitation. Provisional treatment with an obturator prosthesis can provide significant improvement in speech and feeding, providing a viable solution until the patient can maintain abstinence. Conservative management and prosthetic rehabilitation remain effective options, reinforcing the need for individualized, multidisciplinary care strategies.

Model Pendidikan Agama Kristen Bagi Anak Yang Di Titipkan Orangtua
Authors: Bathun Victoria Henderina , Kolibu Dirk Roy
Published: February 2025

Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) memiliki peran sentral dalam membentuk karakter dan perilaku anak, terutama ketika diterapkan dalam konteks keluarga. Dalam keluarga Kristen, orangtua menjadi pendidik utama bagi anak melalui pengasuhan dan interaksi dengan anak dalam rangka internalisasi ajaran kristiani yang membentuk karakter anak.  Kenyataanya, banyak orangtua (suami-istri) yang bekerja diluar rumah. Karenanya pilihan untuk menitipkan anak kepada anggota keluarga lain seperti kakek- Nenek, baby Sitter, ataupun keluarga lain menjadi pilihan bagi orangtua agar anak tetap diasuh dan dirawat selama orangtua bekerja. Namun apakah selama diasuh oleh anggota keluarga lain, proses internalisasi nilai-nilai dalam rangka pembentukan karakter anak berlangsung seperti yang dilakukan oleh orangtua kepada anak. Hal inilah yang diteliti dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan Literatur review dan observasi. Hasilnya menunjukan terdapat tantangan dalam model pendidikan agama Kristen yang dilakukan oleh anggota keluarga lain kepada anak, diantaranya. Disinilah diperlukan kesadaran dari orangtua agar menetapkan komitmen bersama pengasuh sementara tentang isi pendidikan Kristen dan metode pendidikan agama Kristen yang digunakan orangtua dengan pengasuh sementara agar anak tidak mengalami didikan ganda yang berakibat pada kebingungan dalam proses mencerna didikan yang diberikan kepadanya. Komitmen berikutnya dari orangtua yakni tetap menempatkan diri sebagai pendidik utama bagi anak dan adanya kontrol orangtua atas isi didikan dan metode yang dipakai pengasuh sementara kepada anak agar tidak berdampak buruk bagi anak dalam pembentukan karakter anak.
Legal Nullism and Perspectives of Indonesia People's Belief in Today's Legal Conditions
Authors: Rahfiansyah Lubis Alvan
Published: February 2025

Legal nihilism in Indonesia arises from widespread public distrust in the legal and political systems. Rooted in philosophical nihilism, mainly as expounded by Friedrich Nietzsche, legal nihilism reflects the belief that law, much like other social constructs, lacks inherent purpose or justice. This phenomenon has grown due to disillusionment with political elites, legal bureaucracy, and corruption cases, leading the public to perceive legal enforcement as selective and biased. Public skepticism is exemplified by viral social media movements like #NoViralNoJustice, which suggest legal accountability only occurs when incidents gain online attention. This study examines the socio-legal implications of legal nihilism in Indonesia and its destructive effects on societal order. Drawing from legal philosophy and sociology, the paper analyzes how misaligned legal reforms, such as the controversial MyPertamina subsidy policy, deepen public dissatisfaction. The research highlights the urgent need for legal reforms prioritizing social welfare, transparency, and public trust, emphasizing the role of utilitarian legal philosophy as a potential framework for restoring legal credibility in Indonesia.

Antibiotic Use in Pediatric Dentistry
Authors: Lee Jaesik
Published: February 2025

Antibiotic use in the dental field, especially in pediatric dentistry, should be carefully considered, taking into account resistance and side effects. This review aims to provide a general overview of antibiotic use and dosage in pediatric dentistry. Indications for antibiotic prescription include symptoms of systemic infection such as fever (≥ 38°C), lymphadenitis (cervical lymph node swelling and tenderness), facial swelling (especially spreading around the eyes), cellulitis, soft tissue infections (risk of deep infection and sepsis), severe localized infection or high risk of infection after invasive dental procedures such as acute pulpitis, severe periapical abscess spreading to soft tissues, persistent or worsening infection despite drainage, and prophylactic antibiotic use in immunocompromised patients. Antibiotic use for simple dental caries, no signs of infection after root canal treatment, prophylactic use after simple tooth extraction, and viral infections is unnecessary. The first-choice antibiotic in dentistry is amoxicillin; its dosage should be adjusted according to the infection symptoms and body weight in children. Furthermore, amoxicillin-clavulanate, clindamycin, metronidazole and azithromycin can be prescribed depending on the type of infection and the patient’s allergies. Excessive and inappropriate antibiotic use can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Pediatric dentists should receive continuous education and stay updated on periodic revisions to antibiotic use and dosage guidelines.

Authors: Kim Dabin , Jih Myeongkwan , Lee Nanyoung
Published: February 2025

The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the amount of tooth reduction required for prefabricated zirconia crowns (PZCs) of maxillary and mandibular primary first molars by evaluating different areas of the tooth. A total of 271 intact primary first molars were scanned using a 3D scanner, and PZCs were virtually superimposed to analyze the amount of tooth reduction. The results indicated that in the maxillary primary first molars, more reduction was required on the buccal occlusal surface compared to the lingual occlusal surface, whereas in the mandibular primary first molars, a similar amount of reduction was required on both buccal and lingual occlusal surfaces. For the axial surfaces, the maxillary primary first molars required the most reduction on the lingual surface than buccal and proximal surfaces, whereas the mandibular primary molars required significantly less reduction on the lingual surface. Additionally, a trend was observed where larger crowns required less reduction on the buccal and lingual surfaces. This study provides detailed guidelines on the required amount of reduction for PZC restorations, contributing to more efficient preparation in clinical practice.

Implementation of the floor impact noise monitoring system to the existing apartment buildings
Authors: Haan Chan-Hoon
Published: February 2025

Floor impact noise has been the prior social issue nowadays since most people are living in apartment buildings in Korea. Even though much research has been undertaken to reduce the floor impact noises architecturally and regulations were strengthened, the disputes concerning this matter have been increased. The present study is the first trial to solve this problem using ICT technologies called floor impact noise monitoring system. This system is to be operated all day long in the buildings monitoring real time all the noises for the reduction of the occurrence of floor impact noises. The system consists of sound and vibration sensors, a wireless communication gateway and the main server with analyzing software. In order to enhance the accuracy and durability of the system, the suitability tests for sensors were executed in an anechoic chamber using many current sound and vibration sensors, Also, the system was tested at the authority laboratory for the verification. The operating algorithm was first made satisfying with the current regulations in Korea, but it was modified several times with feedback procedures from the many tests. The systems were applied to the 300 dwelling units at three apartment complexes in Korea for three months. During the real-time implementations of the system, warning sound was rumbled to the dwelling units where excessive impact noise had occurred. Before and after the implementation, questionnaire surveys were undertaken to investigate the resident satisfaction measurement. As a result, it was found that the system can chase the floor impact noises well and localize the floor impact noise sources successfully. It was also revealed that the analyzed results of the system are in coincidence with the measured levels. Also, it was shown that excessive noise occurrence was reduced by 14% compared with the initial state. And residents replied that noise concerned stress was reduced by about 20% on average. Thus, it can be concluded that reliability of the floor impact noise monitoring system was verified, and the standard specification of the system was fixed for the system commercialization in future.

O budućnosti odgoja i obrazovanja vrlo je teško prognozirati, ali se moţe očekivati modernizacija obrazovanja u svim pravcima. Obrazovni sistem mijenja svoju ulogu i postaje funkcionalniji, odnosno ima tendencije napretka i razvoja prema globalnom „društvu znanja“. Ovom razvoju obrazovanja doprinosi nagli tehnološki napredak i sistemsko uvoĎenje informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologija u obrazovanje.
Savremeno doba u kojem ţivimo i radimo donosi nam različite ţivotne izazove i iskušenja sa kojima se moramo nositi, bez obzira na našu profesiju, pripadnost, opredjeljenost, stepen obrazovanja, prostor, vrijeme i druge okolnosti u kojima funkcionišemo, kao član društva i zajednice. Savremeno doba zahtjeva izgraĎeno i razvijeno društvo sa spremnim i sposobnim graĎanima, koji su u stanju odgovoriti izazovima, problemima i potrebama koje im se nameću. Odgovor na pomenute izazove leţi upravo na kontinuiranom učenju i usavršavanju, unapreĎenju nivoa znanja, sposobnosti i vještina, što nam svakako nudi globalni koncept cjeloţivotnog učenja. Značaj i vrijednost koncepta cjeloţivotnog učenja u području „društva znanja“ i „odrţivog razvoja“ zaista је neprocijenjiv, što će biti dijelom prikazano kroz ovaj stručni rad.

Authors: Lorenz Zachary , Criscione-Naylor Noel
Published: February 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 has had rippling effects on a plethora of industries, with outdoor tourism being one of the greatest examples. As United States citizens left their homes, they yearned for their natural resources, leading to a palpable uptake in visitation as public parks reopened. While there is municipal, county, state, and federal lands accessible to visitation, the following commentary is focused specifically on National Wildlife Refuges (Federal). New Jersey is an appropriate case to demonstrate the pros and cons of shared resources, which have been impacted by anthropogenic factors. Additionally, Wildlife Refuges planning, and practices were examined to interpret the role of visitation fees, trail fragmentation, park accessibility, educational value, and guided tours in a federal environment.
INCLUSIVE LEISURE: ACCESSIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC SPACES
Authors: Zerengök Devrim
Published: February 2025

This review examines the role of leisure in promoting physical, psychological, and social well-being, while addressing barriers to inclusive leisure for marginalized groups, including individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and ethnic minorities. Inclusive leisure is increasingly recognized as essential for social inclusion and equity, with global organizations like the United Nations advocating for equitable access in their Sustainable Development Goals. However, many barriers, such as inaccessible infrastructure, social exclusion, and financial constraints, continue to limit participation.
The review employs a narrative approach, synthesizing literature on inclusive leisure and accessibility in public spaces. A systematic search of academic databases identified studies focused on barriers and facilitators for marginalized groups, with attention to global and Turkish contexts.
In Turkey, initiatives like the Accessible Cities Project have aimed to improve public spaces, but challenges persist, especially in rural and underserved areas. The review emphasizes the need for continued efforts to promote inclusive leisure environments, ensuring equitable access to leisure for all

Packaging (kemasan) merupakan wadah yang digunakan untuk melindungi, membungkus dan menyimpan produk agar tetap utuh dan terjaga kualitasnya. Selain berfungsi sebagai pelindung produk dari kerusakan fisik, kontaminasi, dan kerusakan, packaging juga berfungsi untuk memudahkan transportasi, distribusi, identifikasi merek, memberikan informasi produk, sekaligus sebagai media promosi produk. Packaging bisa terbuat dari berbagai macam bahan, pemilihan bahan packaging harusnya mempertimbangkan terlebih dahulu karakteristik produk, keamanan, biaya, dan dampak lingkungan. Pisang Kapik Abang Sedap (PKAS) adalah usaha kuliner makanan pisang kapik khas Sumatera Barat yang diturunkan keluarga. Berdiri sejak 1990, terletak di Jalan Permindo depan Hotel Garuda, Kota Padang, Sumatera Barat.  PKAS menjual dalam bentuk dan rasa original, berupa pisang yang di taburi gula pasir dan ditaburi parutan kelapa putih dan kelapa merah yang sudah dicampur dengan gula aren, dan varian topping untuk penguat rasa dan tampilan. Strategi yang digunakan dalam pemecahan masalah untuk pencapaian tujuan penciptaan packaging PKAS adalah strategi visual yang menarik bentuk stilasi buah pisang dengan bentuk kotak dengan penutup meruncing seperti piramid. Metode penciptaan yang digunakan adalah Glas Box (Kotak Kaca) yang dikembangkan oleh Sarwono dan Lubis (2007), prosesnya adalah keterbukaan dalam menciptakan karya desain yang berdasarkan pada data observasi, wawancara di lapangan, mengumpulkan leterasi, merancang konsep desain, menciptakan karya desain berdasarkan konsep dan melakukan evaluasi untuk perubahan dalam pencapaian yang tepat sasaran. Khalayak sasaran yang dituju adalah masyarakat pecinta kuliner pisang kapik terutama yang berada di Kota Padang. Maka dari metode yang sesuai target khalayak sasaran tersebut dihasilkan sebuah bentuk packaging yang menarik dan produktif terhadap produsen UMKM PKAS sendiri. Kemudian dipublikasikan melalui event Pameran Karya “Penciptaan Packaging Design Pisang Kapik Abang Sedap”
