ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ СТРАХОВИХ КОМПАНІЙ УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ
Authors: Скрипник Г.О. , Якименко В.П.
Published: May 2024

У статті розглянуто сучасне законодавче забезпечення та регулювання страхового ринку України, розкрито фактори, які негативно впливають на стан страхового ринку. Детально представлено динаміку кількості страхових компаній та основні показники страхового ринку. Аналіз показників діяльності трьох страхових компаній за період 2020-2023 рр. показав, що: у ПАТ "HACK "ОРАНТА" обсяг страхових резервів постійно збільшувався, це свідчить про спроможність компанії здійснювати виплати за укладеними та майбутніми договорами; стан страхової компанії «Оранта-Січ» характеризується більш низькими показниками, що може бути викликано неефективною політикою компанії та з веденням бойових дій на території України; у "СК АСКО ДС" спостерігається негативна динаміка протягом досліджуваного періоду, чистий фінансовий результат компанії був виражений у формі збитку, виключенням став 2022 рік, тоді компанія отримала надприбутки. Для підвищення прибутковості страховим компаніям потрібно розвивати інноваційні підходи до просування продуктів, персоналізувати пропозиції та покращувати обслуговування клієнтів.
A multiple case-study investigation on the intersection between sustainability and reputation: An impact-driven framework for sport teams
Authors: Francesco Mazzù Marco , Savarese Federica , Cisotta Pantaleo , Scognamiglio Elisabetta , Litardi Irene
Published: May 2024

The concept of impact, referring to short-term effects resulting from the implementation of sustainability practices and initiatives, and its connection to the longer term perception of sustainability for the brand, is becoming increasingly pervasive in various businesses, including the sports industry, attracting attention of different stakeholders, from scholars to practitioners, institutions, sport-teams, and their fans. A significant portion of extant theory indicates a direct link between sustainable practices and positive effects on the economic, social, and reputational fronts. Through the utilization of a multiple case study methodology, we initially investigated clubs belonging to the top five European football leagues. Subsequently, we developed a theoretical framework connecting the activation of sustainable practices to the development of corporate reputation, as perceived by multiple stakeholders. Moreover, we clarified how the interplay of various factors can either reinforce or weaken these cycles, serving as basis for both managerial plans and future research avenues.
Are Italian football clubs embrancing sustainability?
Authors: Mura Rita , Vicentini Francesca , Canini Daniele , Rossi Giambattista
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore the approach of a sustainable governance in terms of sustainability strategies that firms have been implementing towards different stakeholders. The study adopts the stakeholder theory lens to advance research on the area. A qualitative approach was used through semi-structured interviews with 17 participants employed in a total of 12 Italian professional football organizations participating in the top division of football (Serie A). Specific themes regarding the sustainability (and CSR) strategies implemented by the 12 football clubs emerged from the in-depth interviews: a) sustainability approach (awareness), b) organizational sustainability capacity in terms of human, financial and other core resources, networks and external relationships. This study sheds light on football clubs' sustainability, representing a distinctive view in managerial literature.
Invisibili, dimenticate, opache? La metafora dell'ombra avvolge ancora oggi le donne progettiste
Authors: Mattogno Claudia
Published: May 2024

Le tappe salienti del processo di trasformazione dello spazio fisico da parte delle donne prendono avvio su scala più ampia a partire dalla seconda metà del XIX secolo. La storiografia contemporanea, tuttavia, ancora non pone nel dovuto rilievo l'apporto delle figure femminili, troppo spesso oscurate da una visione ancora centrata sul protagonismo dei Maestri. Quali possono essere gli ambiti operativi e metodologici per una HerStory come narrazione che è frutto della ricerca di matrice femminista e prende le mosse da punti di vista altri?
Un approccio estetico allo Sviluppo Organizzativo. In dialogo con Pagliarani
Authors: Liuzzi Francesco , Kadolph Alessandro
Published: May 2024

L'Organization Development costituisce – per l'esperienza degli autori – un in-contro vitale e sorprendente con donne e uomini che svolgono il ruolo di "mae-stri", dando vita a un viaggio di studi, ricerca e progetti. Il paper ripercorre tra gli altri i punti salienti di questa scoperta, a partire dall'incontro con l'Organization Development e Mee-Yan Cheung-Judge, con la PSOA e Luigi Pa-gliarani, e infine psicologia della Gestalt e la sua declinazione relazionale e or-ganizzativa (Relational Organizational Gestalt). Approfondiremo la categoria di "esperienza" e di "presence" come costrutti fondamentali per un approccio dia-logico all'interno delle organizzazioni e nel più ampio contesto sociale. Il recu-pero di una consapevole intersoggettività nelle organizzazioni favorisce il dialo-go come metodo per comprendere e affrontare le "fratture" di questa nostra epo-ca tardo moderna. La realtà come significativa emerge e si rende evidente nell'esperienza. L'avventura conoscitiva si spalanca come una scoperta continua che permette il sorgere di un soggetto intersoggettivo consapevolmente relazio-nale. Il soggetto accade dentro una trama ricorsiva di riconoscimenti e relazioni e non è un "assoluto" o una sostanza chiusa in sé: non si fa da solo. Il costituirsi di un soggetto è un'apertura intenzionale e una tensione verso ciò che gli verrà incontro. Questa struttura intenzionale e relazionale originale necessita di una semplice quanto geniale attivazione per realizzarsi: chiamiamo questa struttura "esperienza" e il suo dinamismo "ciclo dell'esperienza" (Cycle of Experience).
Believer in total immersion. Il dolore e il conforto della psicosocioanalisi
Authors: Varchetta Giuseppe
Published: May 2024

Nel 1984 in sequenza con La sfida della complessità Luigi Pagliarani propone un sag-gio Ambiguità: sentimento del tempo. Pur nella dichiarata "dipendenza" dall'opera di Bleger, Luigi Pagliarani similmente a quanto già proposto a proposito degli assunti di base di Bion, dell'ambiguità propone anche una prospettiva che va oltre l'obbligo di scegliere tra significati diversi, quanto lo sforzo, che non può non essere anche "senti-mentale" – «a comprendere che essi non differiscono, ma coincidono». Da questa pro-spettiva l'ambiguità si pone come occasione e strumento di conoscenza, «mostra l'unità di ciò che appariva differente», ponendosi «al servizio della precisione». E così com-plessità e ambiguità fraternizzano nella comune convinzione della necessità del supe-ramento della barriera asettica tra osservatore e osservato, che ricolloca i soggetti umani agenti nella piena consapevolezza di essere attori attivi e responsabili. Nella se-conda parte del contributo, anche in omaggio dell'amore di Luigi Pagliarani per la let-teratura e la poesia in particolare, attraverso un sognare ad occhi aperti, Luigi Paglia-rani approda in Argentina, patria di Bleger, e incontrare una poetessa, Elisabeth Bi-shop, che con la sua poesia e la sua rêverie farà toccare con mano al maturo psicoso-cioanalista le prospettive di una psicosocioanalisi dell'ambiguità esistenzialmente attra-versata.
La vita e l'opera di Luigi Pagliarani (1922-2001) attraverso le carte del suo Archivio custodito al "Centro di documentazione e ricerca" dell'OSC di Mendrisio Progetto di ricerca
Authors: Pagliarani Piero
Published: May 2024

Luigi (Gino) Pagliarani (Rimini, 1922-Sorengo, 2001) è stato uno dei protagonisti della ricerca psicologica in Italia nella seconda parte del XX secolo. È considerato il padre fondatore della psicosocioanalisi, disciplina volta alla comprensione degli aspetti in-consci e conflittuali nello sviluppo degli individui, dei gruppi e della società. Questo progetto di ricerca intende ricostruire le vicende biografiche di Luigi Pagliarani nella convinzione che esse abbiano svolto un ruolo decisivo nella genesi dei suoi interessi scientifici. Per raggiungere tale obiettivo è necessario esaminare molti documenti inedi-ti di notevolissimo valore storico conservati presso l'Archivio Luigi Pagliarani – oggi situato all'interno del "Centro di documentazione e ricerca" della clinica psichiatrica di Mendrisio. I diversi periodi della vita di Pagliarani – riportati alla luce per mezzo di un approfondito lavoro filologico – confluiranno in una biografia ragionata, umana e intellettuale, che sia riflesso ed espressione dell'Archivio. La biografia dialogherà con un apparato di immagini e un piccolo catalogo digitale dei documenti più significativi. Quella dello psicologo riminese fu per molti aspetti una vita straordinaria: figlio di un antifascista perseguitato durante il ventennio, nel 1943 Pagliarani viene deportato in un Lager in Germania. Rientrato in Italia svolge insieme a Franco Fornari alcune pionie-ristiche ricerche sulla psicologia della guerra atomica e incontra la psicoanalista ticine-se Maria Zanetta che più tardi diventerà sua moglie. Occorre inoltre menzionare l'amicizia che strinse con Federico Fellini e Sergio Zavoli. Il prodotto di questo proget-to di ricerca costituisce una novità nel panorama degli studi di storia della psicologia e valorizza le grandi potenzialità di un Archivio che non è mai stato studiato in modo si-stematico. Inoltre, questo progetto contribuisce alla conoscenza di una personalità che ebbe profondi legami – umani e professionali – con la Svizzera italiana.
La governance collaborativa: un'opportunità per gestire le cure oncologiche in rete
Authors: Meda Francesca , Bobini Michela , Fattore Giovanni
Published: May 2024

Nel contesto attuale di forte sviluppo dell'assistenza di comunità, come previsto dal Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza, l'articolo analizza il decentramento territoriale delle cure oncologiche presso il Distretto socio-sanitario di Aprilia (ASL di Latina). L'esperienza viene interpretata alla luce della teoria della Collaborative Governance come esempio virtuoso di rete collaborativa inter-istituzionale. Attraverso una metodologia qualitativa che combina analisi desk, interviste semistrutturate e visita in loco, si evince che il successo di questo caso si basa sulla presenza di solide relazioni di collaborazione trasversale; sull'individuazione chiara di un obiettivo comune; sulla motivazione dei professionisti che esita in un processo di umanizzazione delle cure; su una particolare attenzione alle problematiche logistiche. Questo caso può servire come esempio per altri contesti e per l'introduzione di innovazioni simili, anche in altre aree terapeutiche.
Metodologie per la determinazione del fabbisogno di personale nel management della sanità: una revisione della letteratura internazionale
Authors: Pirrotta Luca , Da Ros Alessandra , Cantarelli Paola , Bellé Nicola
Published: May 2024

I sistemi sanitari di tutto il mondo non sono nuovi agli sforzi volti a definire algoritmi efficienti per stimare il fabbisogno di personale tra professioni e setting assistenziali perché ciò è consequenziale per la quantità e la qualità dei servizi forniti. Per migliorare le iniziative a livello nazionale in Italia, particolarmente rilevanti nell'attuale contesto, è essenziale avere una comprensione completa delle metodologie internazionali utilizzate per stimare i fabbisogni di personale nella gestione sanitaria. Questo studio esamina gli strumenti più riconosciuti e ampiamente utilizzati a livello globale per la stima del fabbisogno nelle professioni sanitarie, per individuare l'eventuale esistenza di uno standard di riferimento oppure identificare le variabili chiave ricorrenti nei vari strumenti analizzati. La combinazione di una revisione esplorativa e di una sintesi sistematica di 69 articoli rivela che non esiste un solo algoritmo. La maggior parte degli algoritmi tiene conto di variabili quali la produzione attuale di servizi e l'andamento storico dell'evoluzione della quantità della forza lavoro, mentre solo una minoranza considera i modelli organizzativi. L'articolo discute le implicazioni gestionali per il miglioramento della definizione delle metodologie di stima dei fabbisogni di personale nel settore sanitario italiano.

Il ruolo della psicoterapia cognitiva nel processo riabilitativo
Authors: Pepe Rosa , Longhitano Roberta , Auricchio Annarosaria
Published: May 2024

La nostra esperienza con pazienti affetti da schizofrenia, residenti in una struttura riabilitativa psichiatrica ed altri afferenti al suo centro diurno, evidenzia l'importanza di un trattamento integrato al fine di rilevare un miglioramento del loro funzionamento e della loro qualità di vita. La pianificazione degli interventi è realizzata con la collaborazione dell'équipe multidisciplinare, composta da psichiatra, psicologa-psicoterapeuta, tecnico della riabilitazione psichiatrica, infermieri ed operatori socio-sanitari. La psicoterapia, in questa realtà, assume un ruolo centrale in quanto cerca di focalizzarsi sui significati personali con cui il paziente interpreta gli eventi, appartenenti sia alla sua storia di vita che alla sua situazione attuale, significati che sono ricavabili dalle sue rappresentazioni. Vedremo come la psicoterapia cognitiva si struttura in termini teorici e la sua applicazione in ambito riabilitativo. Nella riabilitazione, la psicoterapia avvia un processo che si articola a partire dalla consapevolezza della propria condizione da parte del paziente, dalla valutazione e dallo sviluppo della sua disponibilità al cambiamento, attraverso un coinvolgimento attivo da parte dello stesso. Il sostegno nell'acquisizione di nuove abilità e nel miglioramento di quelle parzialmente in possesso gli permettono di procedere verso il raggiungimento dei suoi bisogni ed obiettivi, quindi di migliorare la qualità della propria vita.

El deterioro ambiental extremo en que han caído la mayoría de los países y regiones del mundo, la excesiva contaminación que afecta a la Tierra y el reconocimiento de que los recursos no son inagotables, han hecho que en los últimos años sea incorporada con mayor o menor intensidad la perspectiva ambiental en todo tipo de estudios. En ese sentido, esta obra rescata conocimientos locales sobre la relación entre comunidades y terruños, brinda experiencias entre estos conocimientos y la labor científica, y también constituye un avance para la discusión pública que impulse políticas que reflejen una mejor vinculación entre los deseos de bienestar del ser humano y la naturaleza.

Este libro presenta un instrumento para medir la percepción de quienes emplean a nuestros egresados bajo una visión objetiva y apegada a la realidad cotidiana, que ocasionalmente demanda competencias profesionales que no se tenían contempladas en el plan de estudios y que se generan por la evolución del ambiente externo donde se ubican las empresas.
Implementation of DHCP Snooping Method to Improve Security on Computer Networks
Authors: Purnomo Andi
Published: May 2024

This research proposes the DHCP Snooping method which is used to increase security on computer networks because Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a potential target for computer network attacks, one of the attack gaps that can occur in DHCP is the DHCP Rogue attack which is the simplest hacking method in which the attacker creates a fake DHCP connected to the core network allowing the hacker to set up a fake DHCP Server with full access to distribute IP addresses to clients. To address security gaps in computer networks in this research, researchers applied the DHCP Snooping method, which is a series of techniques to improve DHCP network security. When the DHCP server allocates IP addresses to clients on the LAN, DHCP Snooping can be configured on the LAN switch to allow only clients with certain IP and MAC addresses to have access to the network. By implementing the DHCP Snooping method you can increase security on computer networks where DHCP Snooping can distinguish which ports can be trusted (Trusted Port) and which ports cannot be trusted (Untrusted Port) so that the security of data and information in the computer network is maintained properly. Based on the results of this research, DHCP Snooping can prevent clients from getting DHCP IPs from DHCP Rouge because it has determined Trusted Port and Untrusted Port.
Web-Based POS with Apriori Market Basket Analysis
Authors: Susanto Jonathan , Fenriana Indah
Published: May 2024

This research project focuses on the design and development of a web-based Point of Sale (POS) application that incorporates advanced analytical techniques, specifically Market Basket Analysis with the Apriori algorithm and the Association Rule method. The primary objective of this web-based POS system is to empower retailers in managing their sales transactions efficiently and gaining valuable insights into customer purchasing behavior. The web-based POS application is multifaceted, offering features such as sales transaction recording, product inventory management, and customer data tracking. What sets it apart is the integration of the Apriori algorithm and Association Rule method, which enable the system to analyze and understand customer purchasing patterns. It identifies strong product associations and establishes rules that support intelligent decision-making for businesses. The advantages of Market Basket Analysis are substantial. Retailers can identify relevant purchase patterns, such as frequently co-purchased products or cross-selling opportunities. This information can be used to enhance marketing strategies, optimize product placement in stores, and create bundled product offerings, ultimately boosting sales and revenue. By analyzing transaction data and recognizing patterns, retailers can streamline their operations, minimize wastage, and allocate resources more effectively. In summary, this research project showcases the transformative potential of integrating Market Basket Analysis, the Apriori algorithm, and the Association Rule method into web-based POS systems. By doing so, retailers can enhance operational efficiency, boost sales, and improve customer satisfaction, ultimately leading to more successful and competitive businesses in the retail sector.

U radu analiziramo kako društveni akteri u različitim javnim arenama, poput medija, politike, znanosti i civilnog društva, oblikuju percepciju društvenih problema i kako ti problemi postaju socijalna stvarnost. Rad naglašava ulogu medijske arene kao ključnog posrednika u definiranju i prikazivanju društvenih problema. Oslanja se na fenomenološki pristup Petera L. Bergera i Thomasa Luckmanna te pokušava povezati dinamičan proces socijalne konstrukcije zbilje s modelom javnih arena i aktivnostima pojedinih aktera unutar tih arena. Rad također ukazuje na potrebu za empirijskim istraživanjem radi boljeg razumijevanja interakcije u medijskoj areni i njenog utjecaja na konstrukciju društvene stvarnosti.
Monitoring Bone Strontium Intake in Osteoporotic Females Self-Supplementing with Strontium Citrate with a Novel In-Vivo X-Ray Fluorescence Based Diagnostic Tool
Authors: Moise Helen , R. Chettle David , Pejović-Milić Ana
Published: May 2024

Ten female volunteers were recruited as part of the Ryerson and McMaster University Strontium (Sr) in Bone Research Study to have their bone Sr levels measured as they self-supplemented with Sr supplements of their choice. Of the ten volunteers, nine were suffering from osteopenia and/or osteoporosis. Non-invasive bone Sr measurements were performed using an in vivo x-ray fluorescence (IVXRF) I-125 based system. Thirty minute measurements were taken at the finger and ankle, representing primarily cortical and trabecular bone, respectively. For analysis, the 14.2keV Sr K-alpha peak normalized to the Coherent peak at 35.5keV was used. Baseline readings, representing natural bone Sr levels were acquired since all volunteers had no previous intake of Sr based supplements or medications. Once Sr supplements were started, a 24h reading was taken, followed by frequent measurements ranging from weekly, biweekly to monthly. The longest volunteer participation was 1535days. The mean baseline Sr signal observed for the group was 0.42±0.13 and 0.39±0.07 for the finger and ankle, respectively. After 24h, the mean Sr signal rose to 1.43±1.12 and 1.17±0.51, for the finger and ankle, respectively, representing a statistically significant increase (p=0.0043 & p=0.000613). Bone Sr levels continued to increase throughout the length of the study. However the Sr signal varied widely between the individuals such that after three years, the highest Sr signal observed was 28.15±0.86 for the finger and 26.47±1.22 for the ankle in one volunteer compared to 3.15±0.15 and 4.46±0.36, for the finger and ankle, respectively in another. Furthermore, while it was previously reported by our group, that finger bone Sr levels may plateau within two years, these results suggest otherwise, indicating that bone Sr levels will continue to rise at both bone sites even after 4years of Sr intake.
Non-tumor perfusion changes following stereotactic radiosurgery to brain metastases
Authors: Jakubovic Raphael , Sahgal Arjun , Ruschin Mark , Pejović-Milić Ana , Milwid Rachael M. , Aviv Richard I.
Published: May 2024

Purpose: To evaluate early perfusion changes in normal tissue following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Methods: Nineteen patients harboring twenty-two brain metastases treated with SRS were imaged with dynamic susceptibility magnetic resonance imaging (DSC MRI) at baseline, 1 week and 1 month post SRS. Relative cerebral blood volume and flow (rCBV and rCBF) ratios were evaluated outside of tumor within a combined region of interest (ROI) and separately within gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) ROIs. Three-dimensional dose distribution from each SRS plan was divided into six regions: (1) <2 Gy; (2) 2-5 Gy; (3) 5-10 Gy; (4) 10-12 Gy; (5) 12-16 Gy; and (6) >16 Gy. rCBV and rCBF ratio differences between baseline, 1 week and 1 month were compared. Best linear fit plots quantified normal tissue dose-dependency.

Results: Significant rCBV ratio increases were present between baseline and 1 month for all ROIs and dose ranges except for WM ROI receiving <2 Gy. rCBV ratio for all ROIs was maximally increased from baseline to 1 month with the greatest changes occurring within the 5-10 Gy dose range (53.1%). rCBF ratio was maximally increased from baseline to 1 month for all ROIs within the 5-10 Gy dose range (33.9-45.0%). Both rCBV and rCBF ratios were most elevated within GM ROIs. A weak, positive but not significant association between dose, rCBV and rCBF ratio was demonstrated. Progressive rCBV and rCBF ratio increased with dose up to 10 Gy at 1 month.

Conclusion: Normal tissue response following SRS can be characterized by dose, tissue, and time specific increases in rCBV and rCBF ratio.
Local Stability Framework for Caputo Fractional Derivative
Authors: Hoti Marvin
Published: May 2024

In this thesis a local stability theory framework is proposed for Caputo dynamical systems. It is shown that under suitable conditions that a hyperbolic equilibrium point is a stable spiral or unstable spiral. In addition, we provide new results for the non-hyperbolic equilibrium point for a Caputo dynamical system. Specifically, it is shown that, under suitable conditions, the non-hyperbolic equilibrium point of a Caputo dynamical system is locally asymptotically stable.
An Exploratory Analysis of Infill Strategies for Achieving Higher Dwelling Densities in the Yellowbelt
Authors: Adams Alexander
Published: May 2024

Toronto’s Yellowbelt, defined as areas zoned for predominantly single-detached housing typologies, is exclusionary and contributes to a housing supply shortage. This, in turn, increases the cost of housing. This exploratory study aims to simulate and examine the implications of higher-density infill in the Yellowbelt. This is achieved through the simulation of Edmonton, Ottawa, and Portland’s infill zoning reform, along with Toronto’s traditional R zoning, onto two neighbourhoods. The two neighbourhoods are zoned for single-detached dwellings, but reflect different urban fabrics. This research paper evaluates the tools used to control for density and explores their implications within the context of Toronto. This research concludes with a proposal to reconceptualize the Yellowbelt. Three categories are created to reflect three different opportunities for higher dwelling density infill, based on lot size. Zoning reform in the Yellowbelt will greatly increase Toronto’s housing supply, and may increase housing affordability depending on the specific types of regulation implemented.
Lewis And Llyod-Jones, Using Computers In History - A Practical Guide
Authors: Moore John
Published: May 2024

The advent of the computer allows the historian to manipulate data and extract meaningful information from a conglomeration of facts and figures. Unfortunately, there are few guides to the process of using a computer to manipulate data in a meaningful fashion. The writers of most computer manuals are more interested in presenting the how and why of computers and computer programs than in describing their use by real people. Few technical books on computers really guide the struggling reader through an actual example of their use. M.J. Lewis and Roger Lloyd-Jones have written a book that fills this void and bridges the gap between the technical writer and the user of computers. Beyond this, they have written a book that is easily read and followed through the intricacies of actually using a computer for a practical purpose.
Using Computers in History is a practical book designed to acquaint the historian with the use of spreadsheets and databases in the study of history. This is a worthwhile book because it not only covers the theory of spreadsheets and databases; it also has several practical exercises that take the reader through the use and presentation of historical data using the concepts described earlier in the book. While the book is based on the Windows 3.1 operating system, the writing is so clear that users of DOS programs and Windows 95 can easily follow the text and complete the practical application.
A Proposal For Revising The History Senior Seminar Course
Authors: Dobbs Charles
Published: May 2024

This essay proposes that history departments rethink and restructure the typical history senior seminar course to reflect better the range of activities and careers that history majors pursue after graduation. That is, this paper proposes the design of a capstone course consisting of a series of activities that reflects better the preparation a baccalaureate degree in history provides and, in addition, allows for formative as well as summative evaluation. This design also would allow students to select their own theme around which to organize their assignments.
Williams, The Historian's Toolbox - A Student Guide To The Theory And Craft Of History
Authors: Ready Milton
Published: May 2024

Actually, this task of scholarly reviewing isn't so burdensome or complicated after all, especially if you follow the formula given in "the seven deadly sins of historical writing." The first and certainly the most menacing, that of claiming, or, as we remorsefully tell our students, of proving your thesis, snares Robert Williams's gracefully written Historian's Toolbox. The subtitle, A Student's Guide to the Theory and Craft of History, seems to indicate that this will be a practical guide to the methods and skills of history.
Chaffin, Pathfinder - John Charles Fremont And Course Of American Empire
Authors: Woodard David
Published: May 2024

In American history, some individuals become celebrated for the wrong reasons. There are a number of people who are defined by an event that might not be representative of the totality of their historical contribution. This dynamic probably applies to John C. Fremont. Fremont is known primarily for two events. First, he was the Republican Party candidate for president in 1856. Second, as a Union major general in Missouri during the Civil War, he issued an ill-advised emancipation order that clashed with the policies of the Lincoln administration. Lincoln relieved Fremont of his command and his reputation has suffered since.
Lukowski, The European Nobility In The Eighteenth Century
Authors: Marion Michael
Published: May 2024

As the title suggests, this book offers readers an exhaustive history of the customs, beliefs, rituals, and mores of the European nobility in the eighteenth century. The book has much to recommend it. For one, it is organized thematically, with each chapter addressing a particular aspect of noble life, from marriage, to economics, to education, to inheritance. By eschewing a chronological format, Professor Lukowski is able to present the history of the European nobility in a much more comprehensive and diverse fashion, giving the reader a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of Europe. For another, the author considers nobility as a European wide phenomenon and in doing so he is able to demonstrate the notion that the institution of "nobility" was not a static one and varied greatly across the European continent, particularly between East and West.
Godbeer, Escaping Salem - The Other Witch Hunt Of 1962
Authors: Bond Edward
Published: May 2024

Richard God beer, author of The Devil's Dominion: Magic and Religion in Early New England and Sexual Revolution in Early America, makes a wonderful contribution to the field of early American witchcraft studies with Escaping Salem: The Other Witch Hunt of 1692. While most students are likely familiar with the more famous witch hunt that took place in Salem that same year, and as a result might well bring their own preconceptions to the topic, the lesser known scare in Stamford, Connecticut, might provide a better instructional opportunity.
Using Wargames In The Classroom To Teach Historical Thought
Authors: Burenheide Brad
Published: May 2024

The brigade moved stealthily along the trees preparing to enter the broad span of pastoral fields that separated them from two entire corps of Union infantry. There was not too much to see as the artillery barrage had left the field almost entirely enveloped in a shroud of smoke. Yet, as occasional puffs of wind blew columns of haze so that a brief glimpse of the opposing ridge could be seen, the commanders were having second thoughts. The Confederate commander expressed her opinion: "Perhaps General Longstreet was correct and we would have been better off attacking around their left flank. Move the army towards Little Round Top as we did on the 2nd and let's try our luck there." Thus, the Battle of Gettysburg changed entirely on that fateful day in March 2006.

Every teacher who makes a commitment to using primary sources in the classroom either faces a lack of easily accessible materials or such a cornucopia of resources that making the best selection is time-consuming and complicated. For those educators who teach early American history or history of the American Revolution, the latter scenario is more often the case. The founders were prolific writers and the ongoing publication of their public and personal writings shows no sign of tapering off in the years to come.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) adalah gangguan metabolisme kronis yang ditandai oleh peningkatan kadar glukosa dalam darah akibat produksi insulin yang tidak mencukupi atau penggunaan insulin yang tidak efektif. Retinopati Diabetik (RD) merupakan komplikasi utama DM dan penyebab utama kebutaan. Komplikasi ini dipengaruhi oleh kadar HbA1C yang tinggi dan kontrol glikemik yang buruk. Secara klinis, Retinopati Diabetik dibagi menjadi dua tahap: Non-proliferatif Diabetik Retinopati (NPDR) dan Proliferatif Diabetik Retinopati (PDR). Untuk memahami gambaran klinis retinopati diabetik berdasarkan hasil laboratorium, lama menderita DM, dan temuan funduskopi, penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan Literature review dengan metode Narrative Review. Data dikumpulkan dari beberapa artikel di jurnal internasional terakreditasi. Pencarian menghasilkan 13 artikel relevan yang digunakan dalam review naratif ini, menunjukkan hubungan antara retinopati diabetik dengan kadar HbA1C yang melebihi 6,5%, durasi DM lebih dari 10 tahun, dan perubahan pada retina yang terlihat melalui funduskopi, diklasifikasikan menjadi dua tahap (NPDR dan PDR). Berdasarkan temuan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemeriksaan laboratorium, lama menderita DM, dan pemeriksaan funduskopi memainkan peran penting dalam diagnosis retinopati diabetik. Gambaran klinis yang paling sering ditemui pada retinopati diabetik melibatkan peningkatan kadar HbA1C, durasi DM lebih dari 10 tahun, dan temuan funduskopi yang paling sering adalah NPDR.

Published: May 2024

Scurvy, a disease of vitamin C deficiency, is now considered as a rare disease in paediatric population. The human body is dependent on the external supply of vitamin C. The newborn infant receives this from breast milk. Therefore, infantile scurvy is generally observed only in infants over the age of three months. The occurrence of scurvy before that age is extremely rare. We described a case of neonatal scurvy in a 28 days old boy who was on parenteral nutrition for initial 10 days of age due to neonatal sepsis with perinatal asphyxia.
