Blue Water Patriots
Authors: Volo James M.
Published: September 2024

In 1775, it seemed inconceivable that the American colonists could overcome the overwhelming military superiority of Great Britain. Yet the belligerent colonists were certain they could defeat the British army they so despised. On the other hand, their one great fear was that they would not be able to overcome the presence of the Royal Navy. Somehow though, the colonists were able to resist the British at sea, attract capable allies, and successfully conclude their quest for independence. The primary focus of this work is the period prior to 1779 before the French had come to the aid of the fledgling American nation—when the Blue Water Patriots confronted the Royal Navy alone, relying on little more than ingenuity and courage.

In 1775, it was inconceivable that the American colonists could have overcome the overwhelming military superiority of Great Britain. Yet the belligerent colonists seemed certain that they could defeat the British army they so despised. On the other hand, the one great fear shared by all colonists was that they would not be able to overcome the presence of the Royal Navy. Yet, somehow, the colonists were able to resist the British at sea, attract capable allies to aid them, and successfully conclude their quest for independence. The American Revolution can safely be viewed as part of a prolonged worldwide naval conflict between France and Britain beginning with the Glorious Revolution in 1688 and ending with the British victory at Trafalgar in 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars. This was a period in which the armed merchantmen of the age of trade were replaced by genuine warships whose task was to control the sea lanes. The American Revolution was a watershed in this regard with improved warship designs, new technologies, improved gunpowder and communications, and innovative tactics. Although French participation in the war for independence was crucial, the primary focus of this work is the period before 1779, when the colonists confronted the Royal Navy alone with only their ingenuity and courage to defend them.

Every school child knows that the American Revolution began on Lexington Green in April, 1775, but how many are aware that in 1764 a Royal Navy cutter, St. John, engaged in the suppression of smuggling, was fired upon by Rhode Islanders; that in 1769, the revenue sloop Liberty was seized and burned by the people of Newport; or that in 1772, the navy cutter Gaspee was burned in the night by armed patriots attacking from small boats. These Blue Water Patriots fought the first battles on the road to American independence. This is their story.

Cicero Spy Affair
Authors: Wires Richard
Published: September 2024

The episode of the opportunistic valet of Britain's ambassador to neutral Turkey during World War II—dubbed Cicero for the eloquence of the top-secret material he appropriated from his employer Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen and sold to the Nazis—is a staple of intelligence lore. Yet this remarkable and sometimes comical story has often been recounted with little regard for the facts, most prominently in the popular filmFive Fingers. Now, historian and former intelligence officer Richard Wires presents the first full and objective account of the Cicero spy episode, offering closure to past discrepancies and credible solutions to remaining mysteries. Copiously documented,The Cicero Spy Affairprovides readers with the true chronology of events and places them in an international context. It is a story set in the hotbed of intrigue that was wartime Turkey, replete with a dramatic car chase, a series of colorful mistresses ever loyal to their lover the spy, and an old-school British ambassador whose documents are photographed at night as he plays the piano in the drawing room and/or slips into a sleeping pill-induced slumber.

Despite the affair's amusing aspects, it is also a sobering tale in which there are no winners and from which there are serious lessons to be learned. Germany never made use of the highly sensitive British documents it obtained during this crucial four-month period of the war because the handling of the information was caught up in a bitter and wasteful personal rivalry between Ribbentrop and Schellenberg. It was sheer luck for the British that their war effort did not sustain any significant damage. For, while the book states definitively that security regarding the Allied invasion of Normandy was not breached in the Cicero affair, Germany did gain a potential advantage concerning campaigns in the Aegean and the Balkans. This embarrassed the British greatly, especially since Cicero walked away a free man. However, the greedy valet—the most highly paid spy in history at that time—did not achieve his goals, either; he discovered some years later that the British banknotes he insisted on as payment were counterfeited by the Germans as part of a larger counterfeiting project. Cicero died a desperate man, deeply in debt—a fitting anticlimax for an espionage episode resulting in neither bodily injury nor strategic impact, but in humiliation on all sides.

Contours of the Fantastic
Authors: Langford Michele K.
Published: September 2024

Addressing the world of the imaginary, the dream, the uncanny, the paranormal, and all forms of speculative fiction, Contours of the Fantastic is a collection of twenty-two essays that were originally presented at the Eighth International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts at Houston in 1987. The volume gives valuable perspectives on the territory covered by the fantastic, showing the diversity of the field and the variety of approaches used to survey and comprehend it. Each essay brings its own method of investigation--phenomenological, theoretical, historical, sociological, psychological, textual--in an effort to situate the border between reality and fantasy and the passage from one to the other. Authors and works discussed in the volume include Balzac, Dickens, Poe, Aldous Huxley, C. S. Lewis, Tolkien, Muriel Spark, Mary Shelley, Albee's The Zoo Story, Pynchon, Coleridge's Christabel, Le Fanu's Carmilla, and Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant trilogies. Following the editor's introductory essay, the work is divided into 7 sections: Fantasy and Discontinuity, Theory of National Fantasy--Tradition and Invention, Fantastic Vision in Children's Literature, Science Fiction and Fantasy Films, Fusion, Transfusion, and Transgression in the Fantastic, The Fantastic and Science, and The Fantastic World--Space and Time. Individual essays within these major divisions zero in on specific works of fantasy; offer a psychology of fantasy writers; analyze language; assess fantasy from a national perspective; and investigate Christian horror in fiction. The final two sections delineate the border between fantasy and reality--in science and in relation to space and time.

Among the outstanding contributors are Brian Aldiss, novelist, poet, and critic, author of more than two dozen books-- many of which are considered science fiction classics; Vivian Sobchack, science fiction film critic and writer on semiotics and phenomenology; and Nancy Willard, author of prize-winning novels, collected stories, poetry, and children's books. Generalists in literature and the arts, sociology, the natural sciences, engineering, and aeronautics as well as students and scholars, aestheticians, and critics of the fantasy/science fiction genres in literature, film, and art will find this collection both a useful and fascinating volume.

Integrating Psychology and Spirituality?
Authors: Gorsuch Richard L.
Published: September 2024

Gorsuch seeks to provide a thoughtful introduction to relating spirituality and psychology in a postmodern era. This is timely due to the considerable interest in spirituality, the ways psychology and religion can impact lives, and ways spirituality and psychology can be brought together in dialogue or integration. Gorsuch provides a basis from which to address the many practical concerns to which both psychology and spirituality speak.

Practical issues are the ultimate concern of both psychology and spirituality. Gorsuch addresses such issues as examples along the way and in the final set of chapters, which introduce and discuss issues central to clinical psychology and those central to social psychology. Psychology provides an empirical base for many of his discussions, and he devises two methods of dialoging or integrating psychology and spirituality. Of particular interest to psychologists and providers of mental health services and to those involved with the intersection of science and religion.

Jazz
Authors: Yanow Scott
Published: September 2024

Many describe jazz asa the one true form of American music. Arising out of the syncopated rhythms of African music, Cajun songs, and Ragtime, jazz evolved in many 'scenes' throughout the country. The Young Lions jazz movement in New Orleans spread up the Mississippi in the northern Migration. Communities such as St. Louis and Sedalia became jazz centers, while Count Bassie led a revolution in Kansas City. Chicago became a center of freewheeling jazz in the 1920s with the efforts of Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, and Louis Armstrong, while classic jazz and swing took root in New York City in the '30s and '40s behind Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, and Benny Goodman. And while 'boogie woogie' and 'hot jazz' grew out of the Big Apple, a generation of experimental musicians such as Chet Baker and Stan Kenton stood at the forefront of West Coast jazz. Yankow carefully traces the evolution of jazz from regional manifestations to an increasingly national language at the turn of the 20th century.

Langston Hughes
Authors: McLaren Joseph
Published: September 2024

Though known primarily as a poet, Langston Hughes crafted well over 40 theatrical works. This book examines Hughes's stage pieces from his first published play,The Gold Piece(1921), through his post-radical wartime effort,For This We Fight(1943). Hughes's stage writing of this period includes such forms as the folk comedy, the protest drama, the historical play and the blues opera. McLaren concludes that the democratic argument is ultimately employed by Hughes to challenge segregation in the military and that Hughes's iconography prefigures the black aesthetic of the 1960s. Photographs complement the text.

McLaren demonstrates that Hughes's folk comedies, such asMule Bone(1930) andLittle Ham(1936), valorize folk humor and black vernacular. Written in collaboration with Zora Neale Hurston,Mule Boneresulted in a literary controversy. The study also analyzes Hughes's radical plays, includingScottsboro Limited(1931) andDon't You Want to Be Free?(1938), which blend poetry and drama. Also addressed is Hughes's association with community drama groups, especially Karamu Theatre in Cleveland and the Harlem Suitcase Theatre, which premieredDon't You Want to Be Free?and a number of Hughes's satires. In the early 1940s, Hughes entered his post-radical period but continued to protest fascism and celebrate black heroes and heroines. This transition is reflected in his critique of Richard Wright'sNative Son. McLaren concludes that the democratic argument is used to challenge segregation in the military and that Hughes's iconography prefigures the black aesthetic of the 1960s. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of radical theatre and African American drama. Photographs complement the text.

Effect of irrigation regimes, fertilizer quantity, and bush number conservation on cotton yield
Authors:   Professor Samarkand State University of Animal Husbandry and Biotechnology, Samarkand city, Uzbekistan, Oripov Razzok , Ilkhomovna Makhsudova Mukaddas ,   Doctoral Institute of Agrobiotechnology and Food Safety of Samarkand State University, Samarkand City, Uzbekistan
Published: September 2024

Optimizing cotton yield is crucial for enhancing agricultural productivity, particularly in regions facing resource constraints. This study investigates the combined effects of different irrigation regimes, varying fertilizer quantities, and bush number conservation on cotton (Gossypium spp.) yield. Field experiments were conducted to assess how these variables influence key agronomic traits such as plant height, boll number, and overall yield. Three irrigation regimes (low, moderate, and high), three levels of fertilizer application (low, medium, and high), and bush number conservation strategies were evaluated. The results demonstrate that both irrigation and fertilizer levels significantly impact cotton yield, with moderate irrigation and optimal fertilizer application producing the highest yield, bush number conservation was found to improve resource utilization and increase yield per hectare. These findings provide practical insights for farmers aiming to maximize cotton productivity while conserving water and soil nutrients.
Difficulties in the application of activity-based costing method in businesses in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Thi Hoang Ly  , Thanh Thai Nguyen
Published: September 2024

The ABC method improves upon the traditional costing (TDC) method, but its implementation presents significant challenges for manufacturing cost accountants in Vietnam, necessitating an investigation to identify practical solutions. To achieve this objective, the study was conducted with the participation of 106 participants, including accountants, chief accountants, and business managers from various enterprises in Binh Duong province, Vietnam. The findings show that the ABC method brings many limitations to its implementation. In particular, Vietnamese enterprises encounter several significant challenges in implementing the ABC method. A major obstacle is the lack of human resources with in-depth expertise. Additionally, many businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, face substantial initial investment costs for staff training, software acquisition, and information management system enhancements. In addition, collecting and managing detailed data on activities and costs is also challenging due to the absence of standardized information management processes. Moreover, fluctuations and market risks in the developing Vietnamese economy can affect cost forecasting and planning, further reducing the effectiveness of the ABC method. The method also requires continuous data updates and detailed activity analysis, which can be complicated and time-consuming, particularly for businesses with complex processes. Furthermore, some enterprises are resistant to change, favoring traditional cost management methods and failing to recognize the benefits of the ABC method, leading to suboptimal implementation. To overcome these challenges, businesses must prepare by training staff, investing in technology, and securing leadership support for effective ABC implementation.

Published: September 2024

In the last decade, one of the fastest growing industries in the world has been the tourism industry which has been developed in the various types. This study aims to define a new concept called "new tourism destination "in the tourism industry, and investigate the factors of satisfaction and dissatisfaction in these destinations. The data of this study consisted of 15561 positive and negative Travelers’ reviews collected from the new tourism destinations page on the TripAdvisor travel platform. Then, the Latent Sentiment Analysis (LSA) method was employed to analyse the data to explore and rank Satisfaction and dissatisfaction determinants in four most popular new destinations including suspended bridges, water parks, shopping malls and towers. Our findings revealed satisfaction and dissatisfaction factors among new tourism destinations are different. Interestingly, results indicate that in adventurous destinations, satisfaction and dissatisfaction factors are related to safety, view and cleanliness, while in non-adventurous destinations, factors are related to staff attributes, diversity and food quality. This study contributes to the existing literature and knowledge on the tourism destinations by providing a new definition in the tourism industry as ‘new tourism destinations’. Also, by analysing tourists' opinions about the new tourism destinations, this study provides a deep insight for the managers of tourism destinations and offers practical suggestions.
O PAPEL DO ENFERMEIRO NA IDENTIFICAÇÃO E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DA VIOLÊNCIA OBSTÉTRICA: DESAFIOS E ESTRATÉGIAS DE INTERVENÇÃO
Authors: Ferreira Joyce Costa , Silva Luana Guimarães da
Published: September 2024

Esse artigo buscou analisar o papel do enfermeiro na atuação do combate à violência obstétrica, desde a prevenção, identificação e intervenção. Dessa forma, realizou-se uma revisão de literatura com  abordagem qualitativa nas bases de dados Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde LILACS  no período de 2019 a 2023 utilizando as palavras-chave: violência obstétrica; assistência humanizada; ciclo gravídico puerperal; enfermagem. Observa-se a necessidade de uma discussão sobre a violência obstétrica, para a evolução das práticas de saúde e para o respeito aos direitos das mulheres através de abordagem multidisciplinar para entender e combater a violência obstétrica. Nota-se que, o combate à violência obstétrica ainda é um desafio, pois há diversas lacunas que precisam ser preenchidas para que esse problema de saúde venha a extinguir e as ações como a falta de informação por parte das mulheres, a relação hierárquica entre os profissionais de saúde e as pacientes, uma modelo de técnicas invasivas e ultrapassadas são alguns dos fatores que devem ser alterados para que essa realidade seja mudada.

A thicker, rather than thinner, East Antarctic Ice Sheet plateau during the Last Glacial Maximum
Authors: Rand Cari , Jones Richard S. , Mackintosh Andrew N. , Goehring Brent , Lilly Kat
Published: September 2024

Abstract. In this study, we present a surface-exposure chronology of past ice-thickness change derived from in-situ cosmogenic-14C dating at a site on the edge of the East Antarctic plateau, 380 km inland from the Antarctic coastline. Our knowledge of how the Antarctic ice sheet has responded to Quaternary climate change relies on a combination of geological data and ice-sheet modeling. At the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), observations and models suggest that increased ice-sheet volume was accommodated by thicker ice near the coast and grounding-line advance towards the continental-shelf edge. In contrast, the ice sheet interior maintained a relatively stable thickness until present, with ice-core evidence even suggesting thinner ice relative to today. However, the magnitude of these thickness changes, and the location dividing thicker versus thinner ice at the LGM is poorly constrained. Geological reconstructions of past ice thickness in Antarctica mostly come from surface-exposure data using cosmogenic nuclides that are relatively insensitive records of ice-cover changes on timescales of tens of thousands of years. This can lead to inaccurate records of LGM ice thickness, particularly towards the East Antarctic plateau, where cold-based non-erosive ice may inhibit bedrock erosion. Samples saturated with 14C at 1912 m a.s.l. indicate that the summit of Nunatak 1921 was exposed during the LGM, while unsaturated samples indicate that thinning subsequently occurred, with some (25–45 %) post-LGM thinning recorded at ~15–11 ka and most (55–75 %) recorded during the Holocene. These results imply that at least part of the interior East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) was thicker at the LGM than it is now, and that gradual ice-sheet thinning began ~15 ka. Ice-sheet models that do not account for this thickness change would inaccurately characterize the LGM geometry of the EAIS and underestimate its contributions to deglacial sea-level rise.

Extratropical cyclones are important meteorological phenomena in the Mediterranean and essential for local water supplies, yet they also pose significant hazards for the region as a result of extreme precipitation or wind events. Although they have been extensively studied using global and regional climate models, their variability in the late Holocene is poorly understood. Here, we study a 3350-year climatological simulation that allows us to characterise Mediterranean cyclones better and provides a baseline for more accurately assessing the long-term effects of future climate change on Mediterranean cyclones. To analyse Mediterranean cyclone characteristics, we use a seamless transient simulation from 1500 BCE to 1850 CE produced by the Community Earth System Model with a 6-hourly temporal and 1.9° × 2.5° horizontal resolutions. We found that Mediterranean cyclones exhibit pronounced multi-decadal variability in the order of 5 % throughout the entire late Holocene. For the cyclone frequency, a relationship is identified with the East-Atlantic, the East-Atlantic Western-Russia, and the Scandinavian modes of circulation. Cyclone frequency shows, although small, a significant increase in the eastern Mediterranean after severe volcanic eruptions with the highest sulphur injections. The composites of the most extreme cyclones with respect to wind speed and precipitation indicate that cyclones in the central Mediterranean have the potential to grow more intense over their entire lifetime than cyclones in the eastern Mediterranean. This is especially true for cyclones with extreme wind speed, implying that people in the central Mediterranean are potentially more exposed to hazards caused by extreme cyclones.
Benchmarking soil multifunctionality

Abstract. Healthy soils provide multiple functions that importantly contribute to human wellbeing, including primary production, climate and water regulation, and supporting biodiversity. These functions can partially be combined and some functions also clearly trade-off: this motivates soil multifunctionality research. Society needs scientists to help assess which soils are best for which soil functions and to determine appropriate long-term management of any given soil for optimal function delivery. However, for both tasks science lacks coherent tools and in this paper I propose a way forward. Critically, we lack a common measurement framework that pins soil functioning measurements on a common scale. Currently the field is divided with respect to the methods we use to measure and assess soil functioning and indicators thereof. Only three indicator variables (SOM, acidity, and available P) were commonly measured (>70 % of schemes) across 65 schemes that aim to measure soil health or quality, and no biological measure is implemented in more than 30 % of the 65 schemes. This status quo prevents us from systematically comparing across and within soils; we lack a soil multifunctionality benchmark. We can address this limitations systematically by setting a common measurement system. To do this, I propose to use latent variable modelling based on a common set of functional measurements, to develop a common ‘IQ test for soils’. I treat soil functions as latent variables, because they are complex processes that cannot be measured directly, we can only detect drivers and consequences of these complex processes. Latent variable modelling has a long history in social, economic and psychometric fields, where it is known as factor analysis. Factor analysis aims to derive common descriptors – the factors – of hypothesized constructs by linking measurable response variables together on a common scale. Here, I explain why such a new approach to soil multifunctionality and soil health is needed and how it can be operationalized. The framework developed here is only an initial proposal, the issue of soil multifunctionality is too complex and too important to be addressed in one go. It needs to be resolved iteratively by bands of scientist working intensively together. We need to bring our best science together, in a collaborative effort, to develop progressively more refined ways of sustainably managing one of humanity’s most precious resources: our soils.

Kiểm soát đường thở hiệu quả và bảo đảm đủ thông khí cho phẫu thuật khí quản luôn là thách thức với bác sỹ gây mê hồi sức. Chúng tôi báo cáo trường hợp bệnh nhân nam 57 tuổi có u ở phần thấp khí quản (kích thước 21 × 17 × 31 mm, u bám chủ yếu thành bên phải gần sát carina), được gây mê và phẫu thuật thành công tại Bệnh viện Bạch Mai. Sau khởi mê, bệnh nhân được đặt nội khí quản đường miệng trên u và mở ngực bên phải tiếp cận khí quản, khi mở thành khí quản tiếp cận u, thông khí một phổi bên trái được thiết lập qua ống nội khí quản đưa vào qua trường mổ. Tuy nhiên, sau 5 phút, bão hòa oxy giảm xuống 80-82% (với FiO2 100% và PEEP 10 cmH 2O). Sau đó, thông khí áp lực dương liên tục vào phế quản gốc phải dùng ống thông dạ dày 14Fr đưa vào qua trường mổ (với oxy 100% với áp lực 5-6 cmH2O, lưu lượng 6-7 lít/phút). Quá trình lấy u và tạo hình khí phế quản sau đó, bão hòa oxy được duy trì ở mức 95-98%. Kết thúc phẫu thuật, rút hệ thống thông khí áp lực dương liên tục và ống nội khí quản trong phế quản gốc trái, đóng thành khí phế quản và thông khí hai phổi trở lại qua ống nội khí quản đường miệng. Sau mổ 1 ngày, bệnh nhân đã được rút ống nội khí quản và ra viện ở ngày thứ 6.

Mục tiêu: Đánh giá mối liên quan của chỉ số sốc khi vào phòng mổ với nguy cơ tụt huyết áp sau khởi mê và lượng máu truyền trong mổ ở bệnh nhân đa chấn thương.
Đối tượng và phương pháp nghiên cứu: 82 bệnh nhân đa chấn thương (không có chấn thương sọ não và chấn thương tủy sống) vào viện được phẫu thuật cấp cứu trong vòng 24 giờ đầu sau chấn thương. Ghi nhận huyết áp khi vào phòng mổ và sau khởi mê, lượng máu, lượng dịch truyền trong mổ và tính giá trị dự đoán thông qua diện tích dưới đường cong.
Kết quả: Điểm cắt chỉ số sốc trong tiên lượng nguy cơ tụt huyết áp sau khởi mê là 0,96 (độ nhạy 94,12%, độ đặc hiệu 77,42%), trong tiên lượng nguy cơ truyền máu số lượng lớn là 1,1 (độ nhạy 81%, độ đặc hiệu 71%). Diện tích dưới đường cong ROC lần lượt là 0,87 và 0,79.
Kết luận: Chỉ số sốc ≥ 0,96 có khả năng tiên lượng tốt tụt huyết áp sau khởi mê và chỉ số sốc ≥ 1,1 có khả năng tiên lượng truyền máu số lượng lớn trong phẫu thuật.
