The Economy of Iraq
Authors: Alnasrawi Abbas
Published: January 2024

The economy of Iraq has fluctuated wildly since the 1950s. It has been affected by changes in governments, by wars, and by general instability. This book analyzes a complex subject and is especially timely at this critical juncture in the history of Iraq, the Middle East, and international relations. Abbas Alnasrawi traces the growth of the Iraqi economy since 1950, assesses its present state of crisis and underdevelopment, and explores its prospects for recovery. Alnasrawi contends that the economic development of Iraq was shaped by the rise in oil revenue, the war between Iran and Iraq, and the invasion of Kuwait and its aftermath.

The discussion begins with the burst of Iraq's oil industry and the development policies under the monarchy. Subsequent chapters highlight development planning during the first ten years of the republic, the development plans of the ruling Baath party, the distructive consequences of the Iran-Iraq war and the recent invasion of Kuwait, and the future of the Iraqi economy to the year 2010. This in-depth examination puts this subject into a manageable context for students of the Middle East, multinational oil, Third World development, and international relations.
Emma Lou Diemer
Authors: Grolman Ellen G.
Published: January 2024

Emma Lou Diemer--a composer who successfully combines a classicist's interest in form with a fresh, contemporary, harmonic vocabulary--has produced a diverse, sophisticated, and largely unheralded opus, including 350 works composed for orchestra, symphonic band, chamber ensemble, keyboard, chorus, voices, and solo and electronic instruments. This complete guide to her extensive work examines her influences and her unique musical style, reveals her philosophy of composing, and offers the reader access to detailed information about her work. Though her organ psalm settings and hymn preludes are considered standard repertoire, as are a number of her choral compositions, Diemer has not received her due attention or acclaim-an oversight fully corrected by this valuable addition to music scholarship.

Beginning with a brief biography that outlines Diemer's life and art, this thoroughly cross-referenced book goes on to enumerate the composer's many works and performances in a section divided by style and instrument. A complete discography and bibliography round out the volume, along with alphabetical, chronological, and genre-specific indexes.
Emotion and Conflict
Authors: Lindner Evelin
Published: January 2024

A social scientist with global affiliations, among others with Columbia University in New York, University of Oslo in Norway, and La Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris, Lindner takes us across history and into nations worldwide to show how emotion spurs hierarchies of domination and therefore causes subjugation, human rights violations, abuse, conflict, and fighting. She spotlights results ranging from the binding and subsequent deforming of Chinese women's feet, to periods of slavery, bondage, feudalism, apartheid, and other events across time. Related actions from political domination internationally, to spousal or child abuse on the homefront are addressed. Lindner looks at how widely divergent societies—from the Japan of Samurais to the Meso America of Aztecs, up to the modern Iraq at war—are driven by hierarchies of emotionally-fueled control with rigid domination.

Combining classic literature with emerging research, Lindner explains how similar dynamics are at work also in contemporary societies of the West, albeit more covert. What is still lacking, almost everywhere, is access to the full range of our emotions, together with the skills to regulate these emotions so that they become a liberating force in our lives, play a constructive role for productive, fair, and so-called "good conflict," and inform our institution building. Lindner concludes her book by laying out a road map for how to reduce domination and increase human dignity, both in our lives and in the world, by using the power of emotion to implement global systemic change.
The English Novel, 1700-1740
Authors: Letellier Robert
Published: January 2024

The English novel written between 1700 and 1740 remains a comparatively neglected area. In addition to Daniel Defoe, whose Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders are landmarks in the history of English fiction, many other authors were at work. These included such women as Penelope Aubin, Jane Barker, Mary Davys, and Eliza Haywood, who made a considerable contribution to widening the range of emotional responses in fiction. These authors, and many others, continued writing in the genres inherited from the previous century, such as criminal biographies, the Utopian novel, the science fictional voyage, and the epistolary novel. This annotated bibliography includes entries for these works and for critical materials pertinent to them.

The volume first seeks to establish the existing studies of the era, along with anthologies. It then provides entries for a wide-ranging selection of works which cover fictional, theoretical, historical, political, and cultural topics, to provide a comprehensive background to the unfolding and understanding of prose fiction in the early 18th century. This is followed by an alphabetical listing of novels, their editions, and any critical material available on each. The next section provides a chronological record of significant and enduring works of fiction composed or translated in this period. The volume concludes with extensive indexes.
Ethnic Groups of Africa and the Middle East
Authors: Shoup John A.
Published: January 2024

This encyclopedia is an essential guide to the different ethno-linguistic groups in Africa and today's complicated Middle East region.

Ethnic Groups of Africa and the Middle East contains encyclopedic entries arranged alphabetically within ethno-linguistic classifications. Each entry has four main sections: an introduction identifying the language group, where they are found, and their numbers; a brief discussion of their origins and early history; a section on cultural life that includes religion, literature, social organization, and art; and a final section on political organization and recent history.

The contents are appropriate for high school and undergraduate students as well as for experts who need a refresher on groups in Africa and the Middle East. While certain ethnic groups have been combined into a single entry, some—such as the Tuareg, who are a Berber people—are described within their own entries because of their importance in history or cultural domination.

Frida Kahlo
Authors: Schaefer Claudia
Published: January 2024

Frida Kahlo was born in 1907 to parents of German and Spanish descent, in Coyoacan, outside Mexico City. After contracting polio at age six, Frida also suffered severe injuries in a bus accident. Her time spent in recovery turned her toward a painting career. These experiences, combined with a difficult marriage to the artist Diego Rivera, generated vibrant works depicting Frida's experiences with pain as well as the symbolism and spirit of Mexican culture. Though she died in 1954, interest in her work continues to grow, with museum exhibitions and publications around the world. This biography will introduce art students and adult readers to one of the Latino culture's most beloved artists.

In 2002, the film Frida introduced the artist and her works to a new audience. In 2007, the 100th anniversary of Kahlo's birth, a major exhibition of her work was held at the Museum of the Fine Arts Palace in Mexico. In 2007 through 2008, another major exhibition began its journey to museums throughout the United States.

Genocide and Crisis in Central Africa
Authors: Scherrer Christian P.
Published: January 2024

Scherrer examines the ethnicized conflicts, periodic war, and genocide in Rwanda and Burundi. The 1994 genocide in Rwanda may have resulted in the murder of a million Tutsi and moderate Hutu, while the mass killings in Burundi, especially in 1993 when some 200,000 Hutu and Tutsi were killed, and the current ongoing war in the Congo appear to have the potential to escalate into another round of genocide in the region. Scherrer explores the background to the conflicts in the Great Lakes Region as well as what the international community might do to break this tragic cycle of violence and despair.

Following a chapter on the history of the region before independence in 1960/61, he examines the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and the subsequent attempts to promote justice, reconstruction, human rights work, and genocide prevention. Scherrer pays particular attention to the role of the Western powers, the UN, and the aid system--and he is critical of all of these institutions. He also analyzes what is happening in neighboring Burundi and the Congo. An important research for scholars and policymakers involved with Central African affairs and ethnicized conflict.

Multicultural Literature for Children and Young Adults
Authors: Cai Mingshui
Published: January 2024

There is much discussion of multiculturalism in education. This is especially true of multicultural literature for children and young adults. The rise of multicultural literature is a political rather than a literary movement; it is a movement to claim space in literature and in education for historically marginalized social groups rather than one to renovate the craft of literature itself. Multicultural literature has been closely bound with the cause of multiculturalism in general and thus has been confronted with resistance from conservatives. This book discusses many of the controversial issues surrounding multicultural literature for children and young adults.

The volume begins with a look at some of the foundational and theoretical issues related to multicultural literature. The second part of the book addresses issues related to the creation and critique of multicultural literature, including the authorship of such works and the role of the reader in determining whether or not a work is multicultural. The third looks at the place of multicultural literature in the education of children and young adults. Throughout its discussion, the book makes extensive references to a large body of multicultural fiction and provides a thorough review of research on this important topic.

The Return of Memory: Architecture and Landscape in Wienfried Georg Sebald’s Austerlitz and in the Autobiographical Stories of Lithuanian Exiles
Authors: Bernotienė Gintarė
Published: January 2024

In the 1930s and 1940s, the mass destruction of ethnoses and deportations of populations, which shattered the fates of states and people, shock Eastern Europe. In contemporary theories of trauma and memory studies, in addition to the political evaluation of those events, the study of place-based memory has been gaining attention, turning the research of cultural and individual memory back to the fundamental conflict provoked by the loss of place—the erosion of the connection with the land (place), which forms the base of person’s identity. In this article, I analyze the narratives of different national experiences—Sebald’s novel Austerlitz and the egodocumentary of Lithuanian exiles—from the perspective of place, tracing the impact of landscape and architecture on the memory processes of genocide survivors, as expressed in the specific literary works and testimonies. By reasoning that the criteria of the historicity and documentary character and the qualities of the narratives as transmitting traumatic experiences validate the comparison of the novel and testimonies, I ask why the compositional role of the reflection of the place, i.e., landscape and architecture, in organizing the novel’s narrative has been missing in the autobiographical texts of exiles, who have experienced similar complications of their displacement and identity. Different assessments of the existential situation (the novel emphases the hopelessness and abnormality of the genocide, whereas the memoirs of the exiles focus on the effort to make the situation as normal as possible), which I treat as identifiers of the meaningfulness of the experiences, do not obscure the similarities in the narratives, that is, the subjects’ complicated relationship to and the symbolic meaning-making of the place, and the search for alternative topoi, which are evident throughout the stories. The metaphor of the abyss, used in Sebald’s novel to manifest the irretrievability of the past, can be recognized in the descriptions of the social abyss that appear in the memories of the exiles.

Authors: López Noriega Myrna Delfina , Zalthen Hernández Lorena , Peraza Pérez Limberth Agael
Published: January 2024

La Agenda 2030 es un plan de acción global que involucra a todos los países, gobiernos, sociedad civil, sector privado, organismos internacionales y ciudadanos en la implementación de acciones concretas para alcanzar la sostenibilidad económica, social y ambiental. El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir las acciones de sostenibilidad implementadas por las pymes de Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche para la contribución al logro de los ODS en el marco del cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030. Se consideró una muestra de 103 empresas del sector turismo con un nivel de confianza del 95% y 5% de error. La investigación se llevó a cabo bajo un enfoque cuantitativo de alcance descriptivo, diseño no experimental de tipo transversal. Para la recolección de datos se empleó un cuestionario aplicado a modo de encuesta de manera presencial con una confiabilidad del Alfa de Cronbach alta (α=0.957), compuesto por nueve secciones, dos de ellas referentes a datos sociodemográficos sobre el encuestado y la empresa, y siete correspondientes a las medidas, acciones y políticas implementadas por las empresas para promover la sostenibilidad y responsabilidad social evaluadas mediante una escala tipo Likert con valores del 1 al 4 (no se realiza a se realiza siempre). Los resultados demuestran que la mayoría de las empresas no tienen conocimiento sobre los ODS, los compromisos para fomentar la contribución a los ODS son poco relevantes y que las políticas empresariales tienen poca influencia de un enfoque de sostenibilidad. Se concluye que la contribución hacia el logro de los ODS es incipiente y la implementación de estas medidas no garantiza el éxito en la promoción de la sostenibilidad y la responsabilidad social.

La educación es el pilar fundamental para un país, es un derecho humano y una gran responsabilidad colectiva donde la sociedad, gobiernos, estudiantes y docentes participan activamente por el bien público. Sin embargo, no solo se trata de una buena formación académica, sino la adquisición de conocimientos y habilidades que permitan desarrollar en los participantes diversas destrezas que ayuden en la formación de emprendedores. Esta investigación busca identificar las características del programa emprendedor que permita al docente fortalecer competencias necesarias para formar futuros profesionistas emprendedores, Asimismo, identificar las capacidades con las que cuentan actualmente los profesores de la Unidad Académica profesional de Cuautitlán Izcalli (UAPCI). La metodología empleada es de tipo descriptiva, no experimental y transversal, se aplicarán instrumentos como entrevistas y cuestionarios tipo likert a una muestra de 46 docentes que cuenten con un año de experiencia mínimo en la impartición de clases en la Unidad Académica profesional de Cuautitlán Izcalli. Con los resultados obtenidos se pretende fortalecer el programa de emprendedores que se aperturó recientemente en la UAPCI con la finalidad reforzar las habilidades docentes para impulsar en los estudiantes la generación de proyectos viables e innovadores.

El coaching ha cobrado relevancia, llegando a otros lugares como las instituciones educativas (Ramos et al., 2019; Ávila et al., 2020). Este tipo de acompañamiento interpersonal busca que se mejore el rendimiento académico, la motivación, los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje y la mirada crítica en el estudiantado (Álvarez et al., 2018; Domínguez et al., 2018; Bernández y Belmonte, 2020; Bécart, 2016; Valero, 2019; Flores, 2021; Bécart y Ramírez, 2016). En esta ponencia se exponen los hallazgos de un estudio en el que fue aplicado un cuestionario a una muestra incidental no probabilística de 156 estudiantes, procedentes de tres licenciaturas escolarizadas de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMéx). Se exploraron las opiniones del alumnado sobre las habilidades de sus docentes, con el objeto de identificar aquellas funciones inscritas en la perspectiva del docente-coach y las que se mantienen dentro del modelo tradicional. Los resultados indican que si bien el autoaprendizaje, la mejora del rendimiento académico, la retroalimentación y la comunicación asertiva son prácticas que ejercitan quienes son docentes, estas coexisten con pautas y prácticas del modelo tradicional.  El alumnado percibió baja motivación; el autoconocimiento; la promoción de la creatividad y la orientación para mejorar su vida profesional futura. Se incluyen reflexiones acerca de los beneficios que puede tener para la labor docente la incorporación de habilidades procedentes del coaching, tanto para mejorar el desempeño áulico como para favorecer en el estudiantado procesos autonómicos, de autoconocimiento, toma de decisiones y ejecución de planes de acción.

Abstract. This paper introduces a cloud retrieval algorithm for the Geostationary Environmental Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS), the first environmental geostationary orbit satellite, and validates its cloud products by comparing them with those produced by other instruments (OMI, TROPOMI, AMI, and CALIOP). The GEMS cloud products are corrected for the impact of clouds on the retrieval of atmospheric components using the O2–O2 absorption band to retrieve the effective cloud fraction and cloud centroid pressure. The performance of the GEMS cloud retrieval algorithm was similar to that of the OMI. We analyzed the cloud retrieval characteristics for air pollution, typhoons, and sea fog in the East Asian region to evaluate whether GEMS cloud data can accurately represent various cloud features. Also, we evaluated the accuracy of the cloud retrieval algorithm through monthly validation for 2 years. The validation results provide a basis for future improvements of the GEMS cloud retrieval algorithm.

Abstract. Through observations of NO, NO2, NOY and O3 in the Rambouillet forest near Paris, France, (as part of the ACROSS campaign, 2022) we have gained insight into nighttime processes controlling NOX in an anthropogenically impacted forest environment. O3 mixing ratios displayed a strong diel profile at the site, which was driven by a variable but generally rapid deposition to soil and foliar surfaces. The O3 diel profile was strongly influenced by relative humidity, which impacted the surface resistance to uptake, and temperature inversion, which influenced the rate of entrainment of O3 from above the canopy. Only when the O3 mixing ratio was sufficiently low (and thus the NO lifetime sufficiently long), were sustained NO peaks observed above the instrumental detection limit, enabling derivation of average NO emission rates from the soil of ~1.4 ppbv h‑1. Observations of the lack of increase in NO2 at night, despite a significant production rate from the reaction of NO with O3, enabled an effective lifetime of NO2 of ⁓0.5–3 h to be derived. As the loss of NO2 was not compensated by the formation of gas- or particle-phase reactive nitrogen species it was presumably driven by deposition to soil and foliar surfaces, or any products formed were themselves short-lived with respect to deposition. By comparison, the daytime lifetime of NO2 with respect to loss by reaction with OH is about 1 day. We conclude that the nighttime deposition of NO2 is a major sink of boundary layer NOX in this temperate forest environment.
A new method for estimating megacity NOx emissions and lifetimes from satellite observations

Published: January 2024

Abstract. We present a new method for estimating NOx emissions and effective lifetimes from large cities. As in previous studies, the estimate is based on the downwind plume evolution for different wind directions separately. The novelty of the presented approach lies in the simultaneous fit of downwind patterns for opposing wind directions, which makes the method far more robust (i.e. less prone to local minima with nonphysically high or low lifetimes) than a single exponential decay fit. In addition, the new method does not require the assumption of a city being a "point source", but derives also the spatial distribution of emissions. The method was successfully applied to 100 cities worldwide on seasonal scale. Fitted emissions generally agree reasonably with EDGAR v6 (R=0.76) and are on average 16 % lower, while estimated uncertainties are still rather large (≈ 30–50 %). Lifetimes were found to be rather short (2.44±0.68 h) and show no distinct dependency on season or latitude, which might be a consequence of discarding observations at high solar zenith angles (>65°). Main limitations of this (and similar) methods are the underlying assumptions of steady state (meaning constant emissions, wind fields and chemical conditions) within about 100 km downwind from a city, which is probably a too strong simplification in order to reach higher accuracies.
