An Introduction to Black Studies
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

For hundreds of years, the American public education system has neglected to fully examine, discuss, and acknowledge the vast and rich history of people of African descent who have played a pivotal role in the transformation of the United States. The establishment of Black studies departments and programs represented a major victory for higher education and a vindication of Black scholars such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Nathan Huggins. This emerging field of study sought to address omissions from numerous disciplines and correct the myriad distortions, stereotypes, and myths about persons of African descent. In An Introduction to Black Studies, Eric R. Jackson demonstrates the continuing need for Black studies, also known as African American studies, in university curricula. Jackson connects the growth and impact of Black studies to the broader context of social justice movements, emphasizing the historical and contemporary demand for the discipline. This book features seventeen chapters that focus on the primary eight disciplines of Black studies: history, sociology, psychology, religion, feminism, education, political science, and the arts. Each chapter includes a biographical vignette of an important figure in African American history, such as Frederick Douglass, Louis Armstrong, and Madam C. J. Walker, as well as student learning objectives that provide a starting point for educators. This valuable work speaks to the strength and rigor of scholarship on Blacks and African Americans, its importance to the formal educational process, and its relevance to the United States and the world.
The Nature, Scope, and Construction of Black Studies
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

The Black Studies movement emerged during the Modern Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. However, the movement and subsequent discipline was not a monolith. The many different views about how Black studies programs should be organized and run can be characterized into three general groups: (1) integrationists, (2) Black Power separatists, and (3) cultural nationalist separatists. Additionally, while all three of these groups agree that more courses examining the African American experience were needed, integrationists rejected the argument that Black studies programs should be separate, autonomous institutions, whether inside or outside the academy. Black Power separatists, on the other hand, contended that they could work within the existing system by negotiating with White Americans when it came to power relationships within and outside the academia. This chapter examines, in some details, these main themes.
The Origin and Development of Black Studies as a Field of Analysis
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Black Studies rests on the cultural and historical experiences of people of African descent in the United States. Nevertheless, there never has been and still does not exist one unified African American worldview. Different experiences have prompted different philosophical responses. This chapter rests on the notion that the field of Black Studies seeks to examine and clarify these responses, whether the "philosophers" in question are intellectuals, artists, activists, or ordinary people. Also crucial in this chapter is an analysis of the field of Black Studies which examines the notions that what tied most early pioneers together was that they were formulated within an independent, African-centered perspective that impacted people of African descent both inside and outside academia.
The History of African Americans in the United States
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Black Americans, both free and enslaved, played a vital and pivotal role in the national transformation that started soon after the Constitution was ratified. More specifically, from its inception to the beginning of the American Civil War Black Americans navigated through the Colonial Period, the American Revolutionary War years, the New Nation Era and the Antebellum period characterized mostly by the concepts of triumphs and tragedies. In additional, during this centuries, Black Americans had to figure out how to maintain their families under harsh and extreme conditions. This experience, both directly and in directly strengthened the resolve of the Black American family. Thus, the pages contained in this chapter explore this journey with much flair and precision.
African American Religious Traditions
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Black American religious traditions and Black American theology differ from the Christianity and theology of White Europeans as well as those various non-African groups who resided in the North Atlantic region. Since the first persons of African descent arrived in the Western Hemisphere, they had a unique and distinctive experience compared to their White counterparts. Additionally, although they were introduced to Christianity by their captors, Africans brought with them their own coherent Christian philosophical heritage, including a religious component that was used to counter the brutality and dehumanization of the Atlantic slave trade and enslavement. People of African descent also introduced their captors to various cultural and religious practices and traditions. Ultimately, persons of color in the Western Hemisphere created their own distinguishing ways and ideas to conceptualize their religious heritage that allowed them to speak about their own concerns and beliefs. This chapter describes these themes in great detail.
Black Psychology
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Black Psychology has been studied from a number of perspectives. However, there are two viewpoints that are most dominant. The first perspective is that psychological concepts and theories are universal and thus Black Americans can be studied and evaluated based on the laws and principles of traditional psychology. The second perspective, based on a strictly African-centered perspective, is that a new field of analysis for the psychological evaluation of people of African descent must be created. Based on this viewpoint, the beliefs and behavior patterns of persons of color must be placed at the centered of any psychological evaluation and examination of Black Americans or any persons of color. These two perspectives also are embedded in the current scholarly debate on the topic of Black Psychology, which is divided into two major groups, pro-Black and pro-African-centeredness. Pro-African-centered scholars contend that core values, beliefs, and behaviors founded and acted upon by people of African descent are at the center of any evaluation and discussion to understanding the psychological and mental state of persons of color, while pro-Black scholars proclaim that there is little difference between African psychology and Black Psychology. This chapter discusses these themes in some details.
African Americans and Politics
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Between the middle of the 1930s and the early 1960s, most Black American leaders were committed to the idea of integration from a political, economic, and social perspective. This perspective reached its height with such victories as the 1954 landmark Brown vs. Board decision, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. However, the successes of the movement led to episodes of violent responses that brought on a broader struggle against various segregationist and racist forces that were set out to deny thousands of persons of color their right to fully participate in America's democratic system which was founded on equality and freedom. More specifically, although many of the overt structures of Jim Crow racism had been swept away by the actions of the federal government, millions of Black Americans seemingly were trapped in hundreds of inner-city ghettoes, particularly in the North, where schools were overcrowded and ineffective, housing was substandard, high unemployment rates persisted, and uncontrollable drug trafficking and high levels of criminal activity led to regularly oppressive police enforcement. This chapter examines these topics with much precision.
The Creative Expressions of African Americans
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

From the antebellum period to today, the creative expressions of Black Americans in the field of visual and performance art, such as television and film, rested upon and focused on several themes which fluxuated along with the changing social, political, and economic factors of Black American lives, experiences, and plight. While the New Negro/Harlem Renaissance Era of the 1920s and the Black Arts movement of the 1960s generated a large quantity of artwork about Black Americans, we cannot overlook or cast as irrelevant or insignificant other periods in the history of Black Americans; throughout history, almost all of the items and artwork represent the perspective of persons of African descent as they dealt with the concepts of contradiction, struggle, and perseverance on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. This chapter seeks to embrace this last point with great vigor.

Published: May 2023

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus. It is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) to manage malaria among children and adults. However, chloroquine as monotherapy and ACT are commonly prescribed in treating malaria in Pakistan's healthcare delivery system. Therefore, this study assessed the prescribing trends for treating malaria patients in public and private healthcare facilities. Moreover, the study also determined the number of drugs prescribed per prescription by physicians and consultants. This descriptive study was conducted for six months in Lahore's major public and private healthcare facilities. A purposive sampling technique was employed to review 300 malaria patients' prescriptions accessed from the hospital records. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were used to achieve the study's objectives. The study showed that most malaria prescriptions were from both public (64.67%) and private healthcare facilities (42.67%) and comprised a dual-drug regimen involving antimalarials, antibiotics, antipyretics, or their combinations. There was a significant difference (p = 0.002) in the prescription trend between public and private healthcare facilities regarding the number of drugs prescribed for treating malaria. Moreover, prescriptions from private healthcare facilities mainly contained antimalarial drugs (58.59%) and antibiotics (17.60%), while most prescriptions from public healthcare facilities contained antipyretics and other drugs (60.67%) (p = 0.001). Most of the consultants prescribed two (66.67%) or three drugs (33.33%), while the prescribing trends of physicians ranged between one and four, which was also statistically significantly different (p = 0.001). In addition, most prescriptions from public healthcare facilities were rationally prescribed (68%). On the other hand, most prescriptions from private healthcare facilities were rational (54%) and semirational (42%). The rationality of prescriptions by public and private healthcare facilities was also significantly different (p = 0.001). Public healthcare facilities were found to exhibit more rational prescribing trends for managing malaria compared to private healthcare facilities, with a focus on prescribing an optimal number of drugs per prescription and a lower usage of antimalarial and antibiotic medications.
Validity of Juang's Method to Predict the Liquefaction Potential of the Soils of Sablette Algiers
Authors: Boualla Nabila
Published: May 2023

This work presents a deterministic and probabilistic analysis of the liquefaction potential of soils. Soil liquefaction is a process leading to the total loss of shear strength of loose sands under seismic stresses by increasing pore pressure. It is accompanied by deformations. Certain factors related to the characteristics of the ground and the seismic excitation can significantly influence the appearance or not of the phenomenon. Empirical methods of liquefaction potential assessment are widely used. The probabilistic method has been widely used for estimating the probability of liquefaction. Initially, the uncertain parameters are modeled by normal random variables. A parametric study of the coefficients of variation of the random variables showed that the number of strokes (N1)60 of the SPT test is the parameter that has the greatest influence on the probability of liquefaction. This study focuses on the liquefaction potential by methods based on the results of the in-situ "Standard Penetration Test" Through the results obtained in this study of the site of Sablettes in Algiers, in general, there is a risk of liquefaction of the soil in the sandy layers, and we can say that the site studied has an average liquefaction potential. According to the classification of liquefaction potential proposed by Juang et al., (2012).

Authors: Abu J. B. , Abdulsalam S. , Mohammed J.
Published: May 2023

Paint is any liquid, liquefiable or mastic composition which after application to a substrate in a thin layer is converted to an opaque solid film. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of some basic paint components i.e., prime pigment, extender pigment and binder on pH, viscosity and density on white emulsion paint formulation. The research was aimed at producing low-cost white emulsion house paint and optimizing the pigments and binder in other to obtain the optimal conditions for which the best paint formulation can be obtained using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The pH, density, viscosity and cost were chosen as the responses while the prime pigment, pigment extender and binder were selected as the factors. Twenty (20) different samples of white emulsion house paint were successfully formulated and produced using Central Composite Design. The physico-chemical properties of twelve (12) of the produced paints fell within the conventional specified range by Nigeria Industrial Standard. The results obtained revealed that the pH, viscosity and density were largely affected by the concentration of the prime pigment, pigment extender and binder. Also , the analysis of the variance (ANOVA) of the models showed that the developed models for viscosity, density, pH and cost were significant with F-values of 109.19, 99.55, 10.31 and 2278.53 respectively, and P-values less than 0.05 (P<0.05). In addition, the generated optimum conditions of the desired paint formulation were 66.85 g for the prime pigment, 440.56 g for the pigment extender and 0.108 L for the binder while the quality test optimum conditions were 5.819 poise for viscosity, 1352.836 g/L for density and 7.035 for pH at a cost of ₦336.465. Using the optimum conditions to validate the experiment, the obtained experimental values of 5.95 poise of viscosity, 1380 g/L of density and pH of 7.30 were close to the predicted values and it confirmed the validity and adequacy of the predicted models. While Percentage error deviation of 2.26%, 2.0%, 2.64% and 2.5% were calculated for the viscosity, density, pH and cost, respectively.

Croatian police in digital space – a model proposal for communication with the public via social media
Authors: Radić Ivana , Idlbek Robert , Lazić Nikolaj
Published: May 2023

Social media use in police-public communication is a growing topic in the professional and scientific literature. There is an increasing need for digital communication channels with the public. Businesses use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to promote their brand, reach potential customers, and engage with current clients. Police departments use social media for information gathering, community outreach, and public safety communications. However, there are concerns about insufficient regulation of social media communication. This research aims to assess police officers’ attitudes and the environment in which the Croatianpolice operates, but also to give a proposal of an initial communication model applicable to current conditions. Primary research through focus groups was conducted to gain insight into the police officers’ attitudes, while secondary sources such as scientific literature and best practices from other countries were analysed in order to allow further adjustments of the model to the conditions in Croatia. The results of this paper suggest it is possible to propose a maturity-based communication model that will enable the Croatian police to increase their ability to open new communication channels via social media.

Od trenutačnog broja svjetskog stanovništva (7,9 milijardi), broj korisnika interneta dopolovice 2022. iznosio je oko 5,3 milijarde. Promatramo li detaljnije prevalenciju interneta u Hrvatskoj (4,1 milijun stanovnika), broj korisnika tog medija doseže brojku od 3.787.838. U radu se korištenjem standardizirane ankete ispituje ovisnost o internetu 588 srednjoškolaca s područja Virovitice. Prvi dio ankete predstavlja sociodemografske podatke ispitanika, a drugi dio sadrži ljestvicu ovisnosti prema autorici K. S. Young. Rezultati ispitivanja pokazuju da blagu ovisnost pokazuje 354 (60,8%) ispitanika, umjerenu 59 (10,1%), a tešku ovisnost 6 (1%) ispitanika. Rezultati na skali blage ovisnosti pokazuju da na rezultat statistički značajno utječu vrsta škole (gimnazija vs. tehnička škola), povećana frekvencija konzumacije alkohola i aktivno bavljenje slobodnim izvanškolskim aktivnostima. Rezultati skale srednje razine ovisnosti s obzirom na promatrane varijable ne pokazuju statistički značajan utjecaj na rezultat. Rezultati skale teške razine ovisnosti s obzirom na promatrane varijable pokazuju statistički značajan utjecaj na rezultat s obzirom na vrstu škole (tehnička vs. gimnazija) te mjesto stanovanja (selo). Logističkom regresijom dobiveno je da ispitanici koji su ovisni o internetu imaju 0,655 puta veću vjerojatnost konzumacije alkohola, u odnosu na one koji nisu ovisni o internetu. S obzirom na to da je prisutnost interneta u našem životu neizbježna, što uz brojne pozitivne, može donijetii negativne posljedice (zlostavljanje, krađa identiteta, govor mržnje, seksualno iskorištavanje maloljetnika i sl.), radi zaštite djece i mladih potrebna je multisektorska suradnja na edukaciji i prevenciji.
Analiza legislative sustava domovinske sigurnosti i sigurnosno-obavještajnog sustava
Republike Hrvatske – značenje i međusobni odnosi te usporedbe s rješenjima u SAD-u
Authors: Gracin Dijana , Badžim Joško
Published: May 2023

Autori u radu raspravljaju o konceptu ili sustavu domovinske sigurnosti koji je uveden u Hrvatskoj 2017. Zakonom o sustavu domovinske sigurnosti, čime je implementiran pristup iz Strategije nacionalne sigurnosti Republike Hrvatske, donesene nešto prije iste godine. Autori zaključuju da je takav koncept najvjerojatnije inspiriran istoimenim konceptom u SAD-u, koji je ustanovljen nakon terorističkih napada 2001., a na temelju rezultata analiza koje su upozoravale na slabosti kada je riječ o pitanjima međuinstitucionalne suradnje i razmjene informacija u protuterorističke svrhe. Bit američkog sustava domovinske sigurnosti jest u uspostavljanju jedinstvenog i sveobuhvatnog pristupa u suprotstavljanju terorizmu, kao i u odgovoru na prirodnei ljudskim faktorom izazvane nesreće. Istoimeni sustav u Hrvatskoj nominalno je određen znatno šire ili kao sustav namijenjen upravljanju svim važnim rizicima za nacionalnu sigurnost, no on se, zapravo, slično američkom, može također svesti na određene uloge u suprotstavljanju terorizmu te prirodnim i ljudskim djelovanjem izazvanim nesrećama ili katastrofama. U odnosu prema terorizmu, potrebno je ograničiti nadležnosti sustava domovinske sigurnosti u Hrvatskoj, naročito s obzirom na nadležnosti sigurnosno-obavještajnog sustava te drugih institucija poput policije, pri čemu je očito da je, kad je riječ o sustavu domovinske sigurnosti, naglasak na zaštiti kritične infrastrukture i koordinaciji jedinstvenog odgovora u kriznim situacijama.

La academia y los procesos de vinculación desde el confinamiento social. El caso de las Instituciones de Educación Superior en Ecuador
Authors: Álvarez Montalvo Amparo
Published: May 2023

la promoción de los procesos de vinculación con la sociedad, la universidad tiene un papel clave como agente de progreso, tanto en la formación de profesionales competentes para su desarrollo, como en la ejecución de actividades de vinculación dirigidas a grupos de personas de ayuda prioritaria. Todo esto parte de la detección de las necesidades y potencialidades de cada territorio en particular. Estas actividades son logradas a partir de la articulación de los elementos sustantivos de docencia, investigación y vinculación universitaria. No obstante, en diciembre de 2019, China anuncia los primeros casos de infección del genoma del SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19). La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) declara la epidemia como pandemia. A causa de esta afirmación, las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), a nivel mundial, deciden cerrar sus puertas de manera presencial, afectándose de esta manera los procesos académicos regulares. Como principio para salvaguardar la salud pública en Ecuador, a mediados del primer trimestre del año 2020, se decreta el confinamiento de toda la población. Esto provoca que las IES replanteen la posibilidad de continuar con los procesos académicos, fortaleciendo aspectos de innovación y tecnología. El propósito de este estudio es comprender la capacidad de gestión de las IES para afrontar la situación y continuar con las actividades desde el confinamiento social. Para el abordaje temático, se diseñó una investigación cualitativa, cuyo objetivo fue contrastar los fundamentos teóricos con la realidad observable, desde el contexto de las actividades en el ámbito académico. A manera de reflexión, se ha podido demostrar el importante desempeño de las IES para asumir, con resiliencia, la llegada y permanencia de la pandemia por COVID-19, administrando y gestionando efectivamente las funciones sustantivas, buscando atender las necesidades del entorno social en el que interactúa.
