Everyday engagement with climate change
Authors: Phoenix Ann , Vennam Uma , Walker Catherine , Boddy Janet
Published: May 2018

This introductory chapter elaborates on the concept of climate change. It considers how families and the children within them think and feel about their local environments and how these ‘small’ environmental issues fit with ‘big’ environmental concerns about climate change in one country in the Majority world (India), and one in the Minority world (the UK). There is a great deal of evidence that, while most scientists agree that anthropogenic climate change is a pressing issue and most people believe that climate change needs to be addressed, relatively few in countries that produce the most carbon emissions are prepared to make sacrifices to deal with it.
Dead-End Lives
Authors: Briggs Daniel , Monge Gamero Rubén
Published: May 2018

Welcome to the dead end of the city shadows in Valdemingómez on the outskirts of Madrid: a lawless landscape of drugs and violence where the third world meets the Wild West. Having had three national research proposals rejected, Briggs and Monge entered this area with no institutional support or formal funding. With only patience, some cigarettes and a mobile phone, they slowly gained the trust of those who live and visit one of Europe's most problematic ghettos, and collected images and testimonies from drug addicts, gypsies, residents, police, and harm-reduction staff. The result is this disturbing but moving account of how a forgotten population of people survive in a desolate misery having fallen casualty to various social, political and economic processes, and as a consequence, internalize and reproduce this suffering through destructive forms of drug use which compromises their own health and wellbeing. The text also charts how neoliberal governance and rampant corruption have produced this area of spatial inequality: a place which lacks infrastructure, decent public health and is controlled by oppressive urban social control structures which are charged with intervening on this haven for organised crime, drug dealing, and brutal forms of violence. Briggs and Monge two-year study use the words and photos from these peoples’ personal stymies and their work is testament to what is possible beyond the realms of increasingly bureacratised academic research structures and biased funding calls.
Journeys to dependence
Authors: Briggs Daniel , Gamero Rubén Monge
Published: May 2018

In this chapter we show how these structural and cultural experiences are important because they all play a part in their foreground subjective decisions and actions to try and return to drugs. The people who we met in Valdemingómez are from seriously deprived zones of urban centres, poor rural areas and/or are immigrants who have struggled with life in Spain. Many of these people had disrupted families, grew up in poverty and where crime and drugs was often all around them, did poorly in schools, and often had temporary stints in various types of precarious work industries such as construction, and other manual labour posts. Further investment in drugs does not necessarily occur because of their ‘addictive propensity’ – although this is not to deny that drugs have compulsive properties - but because of the motivation these people associate with the need to continue to us drugs to deal with changing situations of their lives such as failing to get an education or work. Addiction is further accelerated by the structural processes we pointed out in the previous chapters which produces variations of “dependence displacement” as they are moved from “poblado to poblado”. This culminates in a “dependence acceleration” when they come to stay/live in Valdemingómez.
Not really the conclusion
Authors: Briggs Daniel , Gamero Rubén Monge
Published: May 2018

This is the part of the book where we try and tie things together in an effort to be optimistic about how we can improve the current situation for people who arrive in Valdemingómez. It would normally start with a deep methodological reflection about how we have advanced knowledge before discussing how innovative our methods were. We would then discuss the main findings of the book in relation to the theory outlined before making some comments on policy improvements and recommendations so we can avoid such situations of desperate poverty and fatalistic drug use. Perhaps lots of academics do this so they can feel good about their work, or maybe its more about closure on it. Or maybe its more that they feel obliged to write something which will in fact change nothing; like for example, that we need to make more investment in harm reduction. Aside from being really obvious, given the current political and economic climate this is unlikely to happen. Even a significant budget increase to the harm reduction team would be at best be tokenistic and in any case such gestures would anyway obfuscates the real and meaningful change which needs to take place to the political, economic and social landscape so that Valdemingómez and the people in that space do not end up destroying themselves.
Countering Extremism in British Schools?
Authors: Holmwood John , O'Toole Therese
Published: May 2018

In 2014 the UK government launched an investigation into the “Trojan Horse” affair: an alleged plot to “Islamify” several state schools in Birmingham. Twenty-one schools in Birmingham were subjected to snap Ofsted inspections and included in the various inquiries into the affair. The book's authors — one who was an expert witness in the professional misconduct cases brought against the teachers in the school, and the other, who researches the government's counter-extremism agenda — challenge the accepted narrative, arguing that a major injustice was inflicted on the teachers, and they go on to show how the affair was used to criticize multiculturalism and justify the expansion of a broad and intrusive counter-extremism agenda. The government cites the 'plot' in its argument about the need to develop a new counter-extremism strategy that confronts extremist ideology and not just threats of violence. However, the Kershaw Report and some other commentators argue that there was, in fact, no evidence of extremism.
Community cohesion, schooling and Prevent
Authors: Holmwood John , O’Toole Therese
Published: May 2018

This chapter evaluates how the debate on ‘British values’ and the security agenda associated with Prevent have been translated into policies for schools, and how those policies have been implemented. One of the immediate consequences of the publicity surrounding the Trojan Horse affair was that the Department for Education (DfE) reinforced the requirement on publicly funded schools in England to actively promote ‘shared values’, now called ‘fundamental British values’. The new guidance states that ‘schools should promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs’. It states further that schools should, 'enable students to acquire a broad general knowledge of and respect for public institutions and services in England'.
Governance, school reform and change management
Authors: Holmwood John , O’Toole Therese
Published: May 2018

This chapter looks at the changing governance of English schools. The discussion of the policy context pointed to the ‘heterarchic’ nature of school governance in Birmingham, and elsewhere, as a consequence of the emergence of new arrangements for school management and governance associated with the government's academies programme, which occurred alongside the continuation of existing arrangements for the structure and management of schools. These combined to create substantial regulatory confusion over the proper role of the Local Education Authority (LEA), the DfE, school governors and school leadership. It was in these unclear circumstances that the role of Park View in taking over the leadership of other schools, or the expression of Islam in the schools, were presented as evidence of a sinister process of Islamification.
The NCTL hearings and their collapse
Authors: Holmwood John , O’Toole Therese
Published: May 2018

This chapter discusses the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) professional misconduct hearings to which the Clarke Report gave rise. The NCTL hearings represented the first opportunity for the individuals who had been named in the investigation reports and in the media as part of a plot to Islamicise schools to respond, yet they had to do so in the context of widespread assumptions of their guilt. Ultimately, there have been fundamental flaws in the NCTL case and of the investigations leading up to it. The first is associated with a failure properly to consider the context of the affair. PVET was accused of introducing an Islamic curriculum and practices. However, there is no evidence that this was outside the guidance provided by many local authorities and other bodies.
Including Individuals With Disabilities in UDL Framework Implementation: Insights From Administrators
Authors: Lowrey K. Alisa , Smith Sean J.
Published: May 2018

In 2015, the AAIDD National Goals panel recommended the inclusion of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework in services designed to support the needs of learners with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). As a framework that can be implemented district/schoolwide, little is known about the implementation process and administrators' experiences with implementation. Less is known regarding the experiences of administrators' as they implement the framework with learners who struggle or have identified disabilities. To better understand these experiences in implementation, researchers conducted interviews with eighteen school principals/district personnel in a district recognized for fully implementing UDL. A subset of questions from these interviews focused specifically on efforts in implementation to include the needs of learners that are struggling or that have identified disabilities. This research analyzes responses from those administrators specific to supporting students with disabilities. Findings are shared, including those specific to the inclusion of individuals with IDD. Implications for future research and practice are provided.
Embedding Literacy in Mathematics Problem Solving Instruction for Learners With Intellectual and Developmental Disability
Authors: Brosh Chelsi R. , Root Jenny R. , Saunders Alicia F. , Spooner Fred , Fisher Larry B.
Published: May 2018

Although solving word problems involves both literacy and mathematics skills, research to date has only targeted mathematical learning. This study sought to increase teaching efficiency by embedding literacy instruction within mathematical word problem solving instruction for three elementary students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A multiple probe across participants design showed a functional relation between modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) and mathematical word problem solving. All participants increased knowledge of nontargeted literacy skills using instructive feedback, and two participants demonstrated a further increase following the use of constant-time delay (CTD). The results highlight several implications for practice regarding the feasibility of MSBI with instructive feedback to simultaneously address multiple academic domains or skills. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
Examination of satisfaction related to investments (2006-2011) accomplished by the local council in Abony
Authors: Zsótér Brigitta , Tóth Anikó
Published: May 2018

In Abony there was a large number of investments between 2006 and 2011 which involved infrastructure. A significant part of them was realized in the framework of EU subsidies and also with the financial support of New Hungary Development Plan – Central-Hungarian Operative Program. During our research we applied the questionnaire method as a result of which we had 608 questionnaire forms filled in. We aimed to examine if there was a change in life quality and the standards of living of the inhabitants due to the investments and also how much they are satisfied with the work of town development of the local council. We can conclude from the research that the investments were not efficient and successful enough. They did not affect most of the inhabitants positively, and the inhabitants think that these investments were not really necessary. There are several reasons for this opinion, for example lack of workplaces, the bad quality roads and lack of entertainment facilities.
Examinations carried out in relation to the shopping habits and satisfaction of costumers in the shops of Coop Szeged LTD.
Authors: Zsótér Brigitta , Kaliczka Renáta
Published: May 2018

Different shop types have different life cycles: introduction, growth, stagnation and decline. The form of supermarkets is in a stage of decline in each EU country.ÂÂÂ For customers coming to the supermarkets of Coop Co., in Szeged is typical to do their shopping every day or more times a week. Shoppers come to do mainly their daily shopping in the shops. The main reasons for choosing them were the wide range of goods and the suitable accessibility of shops. Coop has its own brand which is very popular with customers. There are customers who directly come to the shops to buy products with this brand. Shoppers would extend the range of products with Coop-brand and also would like to see longer opening hours. The customer segment involves people living close to the shops. Our questionnaire survey supports these statements.
Physical properties of dough for cookies with chestnut flour
Authors: Dokić Ljubica , Nikolić Ivana , Šoronja–Simović Dragana , Šereš Zita , Krstonošić Veljko , Fišteš Aleksandar
Published: May 2018

A challenge for food producers is certainly to find suitable flour that can replace wheat flour in the production of flour–based products. Chestnut flour can be adequate substitute for wheat flour in the production of gluten–free flour confectionary products, due to high starch and sugar content. The objective of this work was to characterize physical changes, rheological and textural properties of dough for cookies with chestnut flour. The control dough was only with wheat flour. The substitution of wheat flour with chestnut flour for examined dough samples was at three different levels (20, 40 and 60%). Moisture of the dough was 22%.Dynamic oscillatory measurements describe all dough samples as typical viscoelastic systems with dominant elastic modulus G' over viscous modulus G". The modulus ratio (tan δ=G"/G') decreased with increase in amount of chestnut flour. Also, the dough compliance (J) determined by creep and recovery curves decreased, thus more chestnut flour resulted in more brittle consistency of the dough. Texture determination confirmed the rheological results. Resistance to extension of the control dough sample was the highest, as well as dough extensibility. Application of chestnut flour and increase in its amount reduced these texture parameters for dough samples. Optimal physical properties of dough were achieved with low amounts of chestnut flour of 20%.
The relationship between agricultural strategy and integration in the poultry industry
Authors: Csizmásné Tóth Judit
Published: May 2018

Agricultural strategy has always played a major role in the development of agriculture. Its role is perceivable when reviewing the state of the integration of the poultry industry before and after the transition of the political system. Before the transition, both horizontal and vertical integration solutions were present in the poultry industry in Hungary, however, after the transition only vertical integration solutions remained. The current agricultural strategy (National Rural Strategy 2012-2020) and the sectoral strategy developed by the PPC (Hungarian Poultry Product Council) lays great emphasis on the promotion of forms of integration in accordance with the objectives of the CAP 2014-2020. The level of integration of the poultry industry in Hungary has not yet reached that of Western Europe, as in [1], therefore it is very important to support the existing forms of integration in this sector and to encourage the establishment of further integration.
Mathematical model to determination of resharpening territory of Conical Hob
Authors: Dudás Illés , Bodzás Sándor
Published: May 2018

Based on the general mathematical model of Illés Dudás which is appropriate for mathematical modelling of production technology methods we have worked out a model for resharpening analysis of conical hob. After the hob resharpening using numerical calculations the determination of the tooth surface of face gear by cutting edges is necessary for the analysis. Based on this methods we could calculate the permissible critical angle of the hob and the profiles of the hob and the face gear in axial section. The permissible critical angle of the hob is the critical angle the hob cutting edge of which manufactured face gear profile is situated in the permissible profile error tolerance. We have worked out a new geometric conical worm gear drive that is the conical worm gear drive having arched profile. Using this mathematical model we have done resharpening analysis for the hob having arched profile and determined the permissible critical angle.
Possible influence factors of technical tolerance

Published: May 2018

Legitimate users of agricultural areas can receive land-based payments based on the area of either the cultivated plants or the uncultivated land kept, in line with the provisions of community and national legislation, in condition eligible for support. Furthermore, land-based support can be received via other rural development measures as well.According to European Commission regulation the appropriate and eligible claim of the land-based supports shall be controlled by the member states. The most robust technique of this process is the remote sensing control. The observed discrepancies shall be sanctioned based on their extent and intentional nature. A measurement tolerance interval shall be set in case of remote sensing operations so that the extent of discrepancy is to be determined in the most objective way possible. As far as the measurement tolerance interval is concerned the goal is to minimise the cumulative faults appearing during the measurements (such as the scale of agricultural activities, the inaccuracy of farmers’ drawings necessary for the claiming of support and the inaccuracy of control materials and methods).The establishment of the measurement tolerance interval is based on the fact that the reference parcels selected by the validation protocol are made by several operators in iterations. As a result of this process the following conclusions can be drawn:The validation method of multi-level tests required by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) properly detects the measurement results strongly affected by faults. Although this method is to be used exclusively to determine the technical tolerance in the Control with Remote Sensing (CwRS) process of the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS), as independent validation process it does not take the further imagery and other vector references into account. In our examination we assessed the possible inclusion of the smallest identification unit of the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) – i.e. the physical block – as well as its impact on the value of technical tolerance.
Examination of Foie Gras Consumption Habit
Authors: Czibolya Anita
Published: May 2018

The goose liver is a special product produced by the force-fattened geese. The manufacturing process has thousands of years of history, which has grown to be a key sector for Hungary. First, we intended to get to know the producers side on force-feeding of geese in the past and present during our research – this serves as a basis of structured interviews with 10 workers in the administrating sector. On the other side, we investigated the consumers’ habits and opinions in relation with goose liver with a questionnaire. The first set of questions was directed specifically to consumer habits, including how often the product is consumed and why it is so. The second set of questions was intended to assess the knowledge on the process and other topic-related issues. Finally, we could establish that this type of products called ‘hungaricum’ is very important for Hungary because of the export and it also provides the basis for many farmers.
Customers’ opinion on the Mizse Mineralwater in Kecskemét and its neighbouring settlements
Authors: Zsótér Brigitta , Balog R.
Published: May 2018

In this article we studied one aspect of consumer’s habit, namely the consumption of mineral water in the middle of Hungary. We applied so-called multiple methodology during the field work. We carried out a questionnaire survey as main method of research in CBA-supermarkets of three different settlements. The major part of the consumers considered the price as the most important factor of purchase. They beleived the secret of the success of ’Mizse’ in it. The interest in the pack of 0.5 litre was surprisingly great. The product of this size of packing has been released later. Almost 58% of the costumers buying ’Mizes-water’ would certainly try the fizzy drink called ’Mizse-lemon soda’, too. The initial results echoe the need of further investigation.
The quality parameter changes of landfill gas produced at the refuse dump regarding relative air humidity
Authors: Molnár Tamás
Published: May 2018

The purpose of my research is to examine the quantity and methane content of landfill gas originating from the characteristic organic matter potential, weather parameters and exploitation technology used in the region and by that, determine useful relationships. Results are defined in working dimensions where the quality and quantity of landfill gas is defined by the efficiency of the extraction system, environmental conditions, the composition of waste and the technology of unloading. The theoretical and practical phenomenon confirms that processing the generated waste by modern European Union-compliant technology systems can be used as alternative energy instead of fossil energy sources to produce electricity and heat. The quality and quantity of biogas presumably depends on the weather parameters of the refuse dump, the technical parameters of the biogas recovery system and the organic matter content, typical of the Hodmezovasarhely region.
About the numerous cost and processing advantages of the microcellular foam injection molding process for thermoplastics materials in the automobile industry
Authors: Oprea-Kiss Alexandru , Kiss Imre
Published: May 2018

Today one of the goals of the automobile industry is to reduce weight. And physical foaming has already demonstrated its potential in this sector, improving the value and performance of applications under the bonnet: engine and gearbox cases, inlet air filters, cockpits, radiator baffles and so on. Around the world, the microcellular injection molding (MuCell) is used in thousands of applications in the automotive, packaging, technical molding, office machinery and electric and electronic component industries. The research opportunities purpose is to obtain even lighter pieces, with greater dimensional stability and with an excellent surface finish, in other words, perfect plastic parts. More component functionality with reduced weight, and cost control at the same time: MuCell is a process to physically foam thermoplastics, which combines technical and economic objectives. Besides weight reduction, it also provides improved dimensional stability of the moulded parts.
Economic and Natural Effects of Nitrate Pollution of Agricultural Origin, in particular the Aquatic Environment
Authors: Matos Rita , Gál József , Zsótér Brigitta , Timofte Claudia Simona
Published: May 2018

The whole area of Hungary is the gathering ground of our principal rivers (Duna, Tisza) and some bigger lakes, like Balaton, Fertő lake and Velencei lake. The water isn’t only staff of life; it is one of the most sensitive biotope of world. We suppose to protect our aquatic environment from environmental pollution as such nitrate pollution or eutrophication. Trough agricultural production the nutrient rate increases in water. The weeds begin to pullulate, they are taking up more oxygen from the water, they are necrosis, the depth of warp increases faster so the eutrophication drowns on, and the nitrate rate of rivers increases.

Published: May 2018

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of microfiltration (MF) on the antioxidant capacity of elderberry juice using ceramic membrane. Previous to MF measurements preliminary examination was achieved with different enzymes. Four different samples were prepared: one without any enzyme and three with different pectolytic enzymes. The resistances were determined using the resistance-in-series model and difference between four enzyme-treated samples are evaluated. The effect of this technology on the antioxidant component of the clarified elderberry juice has been evaluated in permeate and retentate samples. For ferric reducing antioxidant power was measured with FRAP and total phenolic content (TPC) was determined with Folin Ciocalteau reagent. The total anthocyanin content (TAC) was estimated using spectrophotometric method. Higher juice yield was obtained using enzyme compared with enzyme-free elderberry pulp. The analytical results show that the MF membrane retained the valuable components in different rate. Significant losses are believed to have occurred after the MF clarification process due to fouling layer resistance, what can be decreased with pectolytic enzymes treatment.

According to the EU Council Directive 2001/111/EC, related to certain sugars intended for human consumption, a great attention is paid to color in sugar. On the other hand, the non-sucrose compounds having intensive color tend to build into the sucrose crystals. Since Serbia has to work on the new rules concerned sugar quality and harmonization with EU standards, some investigations on sugar crystals are carried out at the request of some sugar factories. Investigations are carried out on sugar crystal size dependence on sugar color and on dissolution rate of different sugar crystal size fractions with the aim to create new sugar products. In this study, sugar samples with different sugar color are divided into 5 fractions by crystal size, defining size distributions. In each fraction the color in solution and the type of color are measured, as well as other relevant physico-chemical parameters. The conclusion is that the sugar color type depends on the crystal size, but sugar crystal solution is not dependent on crystal size except a fraction smaller than 200 mm, which has 30-75% higher sugar color in solution than the other crystal size fractions.
Consumer Habits of Food Supplements from the Perspective of Food Safety
Authors: Németh Nikolett
Published: May 2018

The topicality of the subject has been shown by the fact that the number of food supplements has been increasing. These products are different from the traditional food products and the risks associated with them may also differ from the traditional food risks. Meanwhile, in the market customers are given significant amounts of information about food supplements, but this information sometimes can be misleading and may influence consumer habits. The aim of my research therefore is to examine the consumption patterns of adult food supplements users, highlighting some of the determinants of food safety, such as quality, availability of information and risks. Within the framework of primary research, focus group interviews were conducted and a survey was also used. Based on both the focus group and the survey results, it can be seen that the uses of food supplements are judged differently by the respondents. In data processing, factor- and cluster analysis were used to segment consumers based upon how they consider the use of food supplements. Four homogenous groups were identified among the respondents and the research examined which consumer characteristics were applicable to each group.
The Part of Nébih Has in Giving Information and Examination of Consumer Behaviour According to the Relating Points
Authors: Zsótér Brigitta , Borbíró Cintia
Published: May 2018

The subjects of the research are the part of the NÉBIH has in giving information and the examination of consumer behaviour according to the relating points. The place of the research was Földeák. This is a typical settlement in county Csongrad. A questionnaire survey was completed by 152 people. Most of the answerers said that although the NÉBIH helps them orientate within news on food, it is still the family and the traditions are the factors which influence decision making even today. Regarding commercials, brief ones which are rich in information are the most popular with the answerers. More and more people check the packing of the product before buying it, and they consider the information placed on it useful. They might as well change their purchase intent because of it, though the results show that it is still people with higher education that can understand the nutrition information. Only customers with higher income can place safety and quality before price, and consumption of healthy food is pushed into the background even in case of average or under average state of health. Purchase of Hungarian products or products processed in Hungary is especially important for the age group 18-34.
The Legislative Background of the Application of Fermentation Residues to Agricultural Lands in Hungary
Authors: Barczi Attila , Szalai Dániel , Nagy Valéria
Published: May 2018

The broad presence of biogas plants – facilities using organic wastes and by-products to generate energy – now seems to warrant urgent attention to the land application of by-products (fermentation residues) from biogas plants. In Hungary, this activity can be carried out under statutory conditions, subject to official licensing. The protection provided by law is necessary because an adaptable and sustainable agriculture based on effects and interactions also requires such attention, since the most important natural resource of agriculture is soil, which, by nature, is a conditionally renewable natural resource [1] [2]. Protection of soil means primarily protection of quality: sustainable and adaptable agriculture contributes to retain the ecological functions of soil and its role in the ecosystem [3]. This publication analyses the possibilities and challenges of natural resource management by studying the agricultural use of fermentation residues from biogas plants. In order to be used in agriculture, fermentation residue should be classified according to its character and nutritional value, namely as harmless waste from non-agricultural sources. This substance may have the properties of slurry, and in certain cases it may be classified as a substance with characteristics of waste water/sewage sludge or sewage sludge compost.

Main elements of the preparation of the soil protection plan: detailed laboratory tests of the fermentation residue according to standards and regulations; classification of the fermentation residue on the basis of the measured parameters and the field tests corresponding to the character of fermentation residue according to the relevant legislation. Soil protection plan is prepared by expert based on on-site investigation and laboratory reports. This is the basis of the licensing process.

Land application of fermentation residues therefore requires expert analysis to ensure that the ecological functions of soil are not damaged. This, however, requires that the regulations governing the framework for the conditions of such application are carefully studied and interpreted.

Desta forma o método é adequado para determinação dessas substâncias nos queijos estudados..
The Southwest
Authors: Hantke Steffen
Published: May 2018

This chapter switches the focus from iconic characters to iconic spaces, following the demographic changes brought about by World War II and the expansion of the domestic infrastructure during the Eisenhower administration. It focuses on the ways in which the military encouraged certain ways of perceiving and experiencing cities, suburbs, and small towns in the transition from World War II to the Cold War. More specifically, it takes on the desert landscape of the American Southwest and tracks its occupation by the military. Closely associated with the development and testing of the US nuclear arsenal, but also with the world of the American frontier and the Western, the southwestern desert appears, in turn, deeply familiar and eerily strange to 1950s American culture. Science fiction films like Jack Arnold's It Came from Outer Space (1953) and Gordon Douglas's Them! (1954) unfold as the Cold War overwrites the traditional connotations of the landscape.
Teen Terrors
Authors: Subramanian Janani , Lagerwey Jorie
Published: May 2018

Shifting the focus from zombie epidemics in books to vampire invasions on the small screen, Subramanian and Lagerwey contemplate the “raced and gendered contradictions of postfeminist girl culture” by concentrating on the character development of two of the show’s main characters, Bonnie Bennett and Caroline Forbes. In doing so, Subramanian and Lagerwey consider how The Vampire Diaries employs monstrosity to consider and represent what coming of age means for girls of different racial identities, especially in melodramatic television series targeted toward teen audiences that have been produced in the postfeminist era. Through this, Subramanian and Lagerwey offer new insight into postfeminist horror designed for young viewers, especially the young females who find themselves fans of such shows and films.
Let the Games Begin
Authors: Hiltz Emily L.
Published: May 2018

This essay examines Suzanne Collins’s monstrous “mutts” in her phenomenally popular series The Hunger Games. Hiltz is especially interested in Collins’s characterization of human-animal hybrids, investigating the relationship between the political commentary at work in the novels and these “monsters,” from the half-wolf, half-humans that nearly overtake Katniss at the Cornucopia in the first novel to the lizard-humans whispering her name throughout the viaducts beneath the city in the last. Hiltz focuses on the mutts as abject creatures, demonstrating the ways in which these uncanny monsters, quite literally making the familiar strange, are at once metaphors for the political control exerted by the Capitol, the rebels’ resistance to the Capitol’s power, and the disruption of natural order. She also concentrates on Katniss and Peeta muttations, each of them reformed by warring entities in service of “the greater good.” Most importantly, Hiltz emphasizes that Collins’s mutts are designed to demonstrate the fine and wavering line between good and evil, calling into question the nature of monstrosity, especially as it relates to human behavior. Her location of monstrosity in the protagonists themselves especially offers a new way of thinking about teen dystopic novels that engage horror as a means of conveying identities assaulted by external forces.
Where Are the Scary Books?
Authors: Kowalewski Kirsten
Published: May 2018

This essay closes the study of children’s horror from the perspective of a children’s librarian (albeit one who runs the website Monster Librarian). Kowalewski considers how “Librarians able to navigate the resources that fall into the category of scary books can be guides and partners for children interested in further exploration and extension of their knowledge.” Noting that it can be rather difficult to find an appropriate title for a child who comes in asking for a “scary book” because of the methods by which frightening fictions are shelved in the children’s collection, Kowalewski serves here as a guide, offering practical advice to librarians, educators, and parents who seek to point children in the right direction. Kowalewski argues that librarians’ awareness of such titles is a matter of civic importance, noting that “aliterate,” or disengaged readers, are less inclined to become involved citizens, educationally, politically, and professionally. As Kowalewski notes, titles in the gothic horror genre can serve as an enticement to young readers, luring them into the children’s library. Kowalewski’s essay serves as a thorough practical introduction to “scary books for kids,” an excellent conclusion to our volume that makes its end, in actuality, a beginning, an entry point for those interested in promoting the horror genre among young readers.
The Body and Invisible Man
Authors: Rankine Patrice
Published: May 2018

Patrice Rankine’s “The Body and Invisible Man: Ralph Ellison’s Novel in Twenty-First-Century Performance and Public Spaces,” contrasts the artistic uses of physicality in Invisible Man the novel with its 2012 play adaptation. Rankine argues that the stage version’s “focus on the corporeal reality of race” complements what the novel can do to facilitate social or political progress: in short, “there is therapeutic value in ‘staging’ or reliving such experiences.” Staging Invisible Man extends Ellison’s relevance in an age where, though the United States had a black president, the very novelty of the black body illustrates how infrequently that body is seen and hence integrated into society. Rankine distinguishes the novel form as an appeal to reason in contrast to theater, with its emotional or visceral draw, without privileging the novel over its adaptation to the stage.
The Politics of Fatherhood in Three Days before the Shooting …
Authors: Hill Lena
Published: May 2018

Lena Hill’s “The Politics of Fatherhood in Three Days Before the Shooting . . .” examines Ellison’s use of fathers and sons to explore the role of African Americans in U.S. history. Hill focuses on the use of visual art in Three Days to present a sophisticated response by African Americans to their ambivalent place in America’s political development. She shows how the novel’s protagonist, the Rev. A. Z. Hickman, appreciates and reflects upon visual art, thereby embodying what Ellison believes African Americans contributed to the land of their birth: an astute, self-reliant judgment of the nation’s practices in light of its professions. In contrast with sociologically-reductive accounts of black victimhood, Hill reads Ellison as interpreting American history as involving significant African American agency and influence that belies their status as second-class citizens.
Introduction
Authors: Munro Hope
Published: May 2018

This book examines how women became significant contributors to the performance of calypso and soca, as well as the musical development of the steel pan art form, in Trinidad and Tobago. Drawing on the author's fieldwork in Trinidad that began in 1997, the book considers the ways in which the cultural environment of Trinidad and Tobago was making women more visible and audible than at any previous time in its history. It explores the role that women have played in the creation and maintenance of various genres of music and performance contexts; the role of popular culture, especially musical performance, in sustaining Caribbean feminism and related struggles to overcome gender-based oppression; the dimensions and limitations of women's political agency through musical performance in Trinidad; and whether increased access and agency through expressive forms such as popular music improve other domains of life for women.
Red Sonja (1973)
Authors: Bishop Chris
Published: May 2018

In the chapter on Red Sonja, we track the fortunes of the “she-devil with a sword” against the complex narrative of a renaissance in female superheroes during the 1970s, a disturbing backlash against them in the 1980s, and a gradual movement towards equilibrium in the years that have followed.
Otto Binder and the Secret Life of Mr. Tawny, the Talking Tiger
Authors: Cremins Brian
Published: May 2018

Although he did not create Captain Marvel, Otto Binder wrote most of the stories featuring the character in the 1940s and early 1950s. Binder got his start as a literary agent and science fiction writer. Under the name Eando Binder, he and his brother Earl began publishing in the science fiction pulps of the 1930s. The Mr. Tawny stories about a talking tiger who becomes friends with Billy Batson are Binder and artist C. C. Beck’s most accomplished work, filled with autobiographical traces of Binder’s life as a freelance writer. This chapter draws on theories from the disciplines of animal studies and comics scholarship to examine these narratives, which remain some of the most compelling comics published during the Golden Age of comics in the U. S.
Steamboat’s America
Authors: Cremins Brian
Published: May 2018

Steamboat, Billy Batson’s friend and valet, was a stereotypical African American character who appeared in Fawcett’s comic books until 1945, when a group of New York City middle school students visited Captain Marvel editor Will Lieberson. Those students, all part of a program called Youthbuilders, Inc., successfully argued for the character’s removal. Drawing on the work of Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, and George Yancy, this chapter studies the character and his similarities to other racial caricatures in U. S. popular culture of the era. It also provides a short history of the Youthbuilders, an organization created by social worker Sabra Holbrook. The chapter concludes with a discussion of Alan Moore’s Evelyn Cream, a black character who appears in the 1980s series Miracleman. Although not directly based on Steamboat, Moore’s character was an attempt to address racial stereotypes in superhero comic books, figures that have their origins in the narratives of the 1930s and 1940s.

Contexto: Debido a la dificultad para realizar la prueba de aptitud al cortocircuito en transformadores de gran potencia, la norma IEC 60076-5 2006 de la Comisión Electrotécnica Internacional acepta como método alternativo la estimación de las fuerzas y esfuerzos a través de cálculo y consideraciones de diseño.Método: En este artículo se presenta la implementación del método analítico de Roth para el cálculo de las fuerzas axiales y radiales de cortocircuito en un transformador trifásico con núcleo tipo columnas de 630kVA.Resultados: Las fuerzas máximas obtenidas con el método de Roth son comparables con las calculadas a través de métodos modernos para el diseño de transformadores como el método de elementos finitos, las diferencias entre los cálculos fueron mínimas a excepción de la fuerza axial máxima del devanado de baja tensión.Conclusiones: Aunque el método de Roth es una herramienta tradicional para solución de problemas de electromagnetismo, este es adecuado para hacer una estimación rápida y sencilla de parámetros magnéticos y fuerzas de cortocircuito en transformadores.
Taxonomía de las bases de datos espaciotemporales con objetos en movimiento
Authors: Rojas Barbosa Sergio Alejandro
Published: May 2018

Contexto: En la última década, las bases de datos han evolucionado tanto que ya no solo se habla de bases de datos espaciales, sino también de bases de datos espacio-temporales. Esto quiere decir que el evento o registro cuenta con una variable espacial o de localización, y con una variable de temporalidad, que permite la actualización del registro almacenado anteriormente.Método: En este trabajo se presenta una revisión bibliográfica sobre conceptos, modelos de datos espacio-temporales, específicamente los modelos de datos de objetos en movimiento.Resultados: Se presentan consideraciones taxonómicas de las consultas en los modelos de datos de objetos en movimiento, de acuerdo a la perspectiva de la consulta (tiempo, localización, movimiento, objeto y patrones), así como también las diferentes propuestas de índices y estructuras.Conclusiones: La implementación desordenada de las propuestas tanto de modelos, como de índices y estructuras puede conllevar a problemas de estandarización es por esto, que deben estar normalizadas bajos las normas y estándares de la OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium).
Public awareness about the use of automatic external defibrillator (AED) in giving first aid
Authors: Misztal-Okońska Patrycja , Goniewicz Mariusz , Młynarska Magdalena , Krawczyk Wojciech , Butryn Monika
Published: May 2018

Introduction. Chances for survival of a patient who has suffered from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) depend on a number of factors. One of the most important however, is the time within which the patient is provided with actions to restore normal heart function. In the Guidelines for Resuscitation 2015, The European Resuscitation Council states that defibrillation done within 3-5 minutes since a patient with SCA lost his/her consciousness can increase the survival rate up to 50-70%. However, such a short time of providing help is only achievable through the implementation of universal defibrillation programs and the automatic external defibrillator (AED) devices densely distributed in public places. By contrast, every minute of delay in defibrillation reduces the probability of survival by approximately 10-12% until the hospital discharge.

Aim. The purpose of the research was to elicit the opinions of adult respondents on first aid and the use of automatic external defibrillator (AED).

Material and methods. The research method used in this paper was a diagnostic survey, the technique was a web-based questionnaire, and a research tool was the authors’ own questionnaire survey. The survey was active between April 8, 2016 and May 20, 2016. During this time, 116 opinions were collected.

Results. As many as 77% of respondents declared that they had attended a first aid course, but 21% of them stated that they no longer remembered the knowledge acquired. The number of 63% of respondents did not know what an automatic external defibrillator is. Only 27% of respondents knew that AEDs are public devices, and only 47% believed that using an AED would not worsen the health of the victim.

Conclusions. The availability of AEDs and knowledge of their use are insufficient. Low social awareness and irrational fear of using an AED (fear of deterioration of the victim’s health) support the need for continuing education in this area.
