How to Lead Without Domineering
Authors: Arnold Rolf
Published: February 2025

How to Lead without Domineering: 29 Smart Leadership Rules is a kind of tool book which contains almost 30 suggestions for self-reflection of leaders in any kind of leading situation – on the job, in a honorary post, or in any other context. Leaders reach their own limits and the limits of others, but how can they overcome these limits? What is characteristic for a good leader and how is it possible to achieve one’s objectives in cooperation with others?

Clever and wise leaders support contexts, form relationships, and promote spirit by consolidating the momentum or dynamic of groups, teams, and organizations. Clever leaders rarely use commands or lay down the law, even though instruments of power and their handling are not unknown to them. Clever leadership implies taking risks, as leaders who adopt the principles of this book give up one-dimensional arguing and if-then-logic statements.

Professor Dr. Rolf Arnold presents different tools for clever and effective leadership, and he shows how the typical challenges for a leader in the nowadays world can be met. His book is based on recent scientific findings in the field of leadership research and on almost thirty years of practical experience as a leader, supervisor, and coach within different fields and organizations worldwide.
Scientism and Technocracy in the Twentieth Century
Authors: Olson Richard G.
Published: February 2025

Scientism, or the application of methods, attitudes, and concepts drawn from the natural sciences to human activities and social policy formation, is a pervasive feature of modern life, and it is one which has immense impact upon virtually all aspects of our private and public lives. This work explores the impact of Scientific Management, a movement initiated at the beginning of the twentieth century by the mechanical engineer, Frederick Winslow Taylor, in spreading scientistic attitudes through its appropriation by technical experts (technocrats) who have played a central and growing role in formulating public policies, not just in the United States, but throughout the world. It explores the movement of Scientific Management out of its initial American industrial context into progressive politics in the United States, into the policies of the Third Reich, those of the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin, into Cold War policy formation in both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R , and into those of contemporary China and the European Union, with short but important excursions into France, Sweden, Japan, and the developing world. Moreover it also explores some of the aesthetic dimensions of scientism and technocracy, especially as they have been reflected in modernist architecture and literature, and it examines current trends in education and the structure of advisory organizations such as RAND Corporation which are shaping the character and impact of scientistic and technocratic attitudes. Overall the approach is ambivalent toward scientism, acknowledging some of its great strengths in promoting economic growth and providing advice on security related issues, but offering criticisms of its narrow emphasis on efficiency, its insensitivity to qualitative considerations and the experience of those with specialized local knowledge, and its long term tendency to ignore distributive justice and promote income concentration.
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and the Caribbean Court of Justice
Authors: Young Harold A.
Published: February 2025

Countries that have a domestic final appellate court have established a judicial institution over which they have control as part of the policymaking governing structure and how they view other existing and emerging extraterritorial courts will be influenced by their perception of the court and the role it will play when the policies of the governing coalition are challenged. This book analyzes that phenomenon in terms of the broader construction and understanding of the state in the era of international law, legal tribunals, and globalization. By zooming in on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC), an ancient colonial court, Harold Young examines how the Caribbean Community, specifically, the 15 former British colonies comprising the Caribbean Basin are navigating their changing political environments and transitioning to its own extraterritorial court, the Caribbean Court of Justice. Using historical reviews, descriptive analyses, and statistical methodologies Young finds that the choice to retain the JCPC at independence is influenced by the colonial experience, the length of colonial rule, and how deeply embedded the JCPC is on the governing structures of the new state.
Turkey's Mission Impossible
Authors: Çandar Cengiz
Published: February 2025

This is a work of excavation of the modern history of Turkey, with the Kurdish question at its center, unearthed and exposed in Çandar’s captivating narrative.

The founding of a Turkish nation-state in Asia Minor brought with it the denial of the distinct Kurdish identity in its midst, giving birth to an intractable problem that led to intermittent Kurdish revolts and culminated in the enduring insurgency of the PKK. The Kurdish question is perceived as a mortal threat for the survival of Turkey. The author weaves a fascinating account of the encounter between Turkey and the Kurds in historical perspective with special emphasis on failed peace processes. Providing a unique historical record of the authoritarian, centralist and ultra-nationalist—rather than Islamist—nature of the Turkish state rooted in the last decades of the Ottoman period and finally manifested in Erdoğan’s “New Turkey,” Çandar challenges stereotyped and conventional views on the Turkey of today and tomorrow.

Turkey’s Mission Impossible: War and Peace with the Kurds combines scholarly research with the memoirs of a participant observer, richly revealing the author’s first-hand knowledge of developments acquired over a lifetime devoted to the resolution of perhaps the most complex problem of the Middle East.
Multimodalities and Chinese Students' L2 Practices
Authors: Wang Min
Published: February 2025

Multimodalities and Chinese Students’ L2 Practices: Identity, Community, and Literacy explores the complex relations and interactions among multimodality, positioning, and agency in increasingly digitized, multilingual, and multicultural contexts. Min Wang uses interview narratives, WeChat exchanges, and class observations and field notes of three Chinese international students’ lived experiences of English learning to show that these L2 learners recognized and appropriated multiple modes and digital tools for their L2 literacies practices. They used multimodalities to position themselves as L2 users who are confident, able, and competent, but sometimes also struggling and ambivalent. The practice of meaning-making, remaking, designing, and redesigning demonstrated their agency as L2 learners. Positioned as cultural and social beings, these L2 learners presented their self-understandings and self-representations through symbolic and material artifacts, interactions with local and non-local people, and engagement in WeChat discussions and ELI learning. They assumed rights, obligations, and expectations in order to become legitimate community members. In the process their agency was promoted, negotiated, or sometimes limited by micro-social structures and ongoing interactions.
Fidel Castro and Baseball
Authors: Bjarkman Peter C.
Published: February 2025

Few political figures of the modern age have been so vilified as Fidel Castro, and both the vilification and worship generated by the Cuban leader have combined to distort the true image of Castro. The baseball myths attached to Fidel have loomed every bit as large as the skewed political notions that surround him. Castro was never a major league pitching prospect, nor did he destroy the Cuban national pastime in 1962.

In Fidel Castro and Baseball: The Untold Story, Peter C. Bjarkman dispels numerous myths about the Cuban leader and his association with baseball. In this groundbreaking study, Bjarkman establishes how Fidel constructed, rather than dismantled, Cuba’s true baseball Golden Age—one that followed rather than preceded the 1959 revolution. Bjarkman also demonstrates that Fidel was not at all unique in “politicizing” baseball as often maintained, since the island sport traces its roots to the 19th-century revolution. Fidel’s avowed devotion to a non-materialist society would ultimately sow the seeds of collapse for the baseball empire he built over more than a half-century, just as the same obsession would finally dismantle the larger social revolution he had painstakingly authored.

A fascinating look at a controversial figure and his impact on a major sport, this volume reveals many intriguing insights about Castro and how his love of the game was tied to Cuba’s identity. Fidel Castro and Baseball will appeal to fans of the sport as well as to those interested in Cuba’s enduring association with baseball.
Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon
Authors: DeLancey Mark Dike , Delancey Mark W. , Mbuh Rebecca Neh
Published: February 2025

Cameroon is a land of much promise, but a land of unfulfilled promises. It has the potential to be an economically developed and democratic society but the struggle to live up to its potential has not gone well. Since independence there have been only two presidents of Cameroon; the current one has been in office since 1982. Endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals and substantial forests, and a dynamic population, this is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talented and highly educated members of the population are emigrating in large numbers. To all of this is recently added a serious terrorism problem, Boko Haram, in the north, a separatist movement in the Anglophone west, refugee influxes in the north and east, and bandits from the Central African Republic attacking eastern villages.

This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Republic of Cameroon.
Historical Dictionary of Niger
Authors: Idrissa Rahmane
Published: February 2025

Niger is a crossroad, the gate to the outside for West Africans, and the port of entry into West Africa for cross-Saharan tidings and travelers. It remained for centuries the largely uncontrolled periphery of the large empires of the western Sudan and the market cities of the central Sudan. In these two ways, the land forged a very distinctive identity, a fluid blend of diverse communities which make up a nation of marginal cosmopolitans – a paradox illuminated in this book.

This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of Niger contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Niger.

Dialogue on Partition
Authors: Haque Syrrina Ahsan Ali
Published: February 2025

Dialogue on Partition explores dialogic possibilities in Indo-Pak English novels on partition of India in 1947 and expounds upon the potential of art and literature to offer dialogue. The book locates the inherent individualities of voices of narrators, characters and writers of these novels, as promulgators of dialogue in the face of the contentious event of partition and post-partition conflict. The book shows how the authors of these novels objectify their religious stance and present a regional affiliation attributed to a shared existence in the subcontinent, while locating and dissecting shared symbols, regional fraternity, sufi and mystic eclecticism and diversity of heteroglot and polyphonic voices in the chronotopal space and time of partition. The objective of the book is to critique the role of Indo-Pak novels in propagating dialogue, thereby proposing ways of reducing fissures implanted in the psycho-social terrain of the inhabitants of the region by offering junctures within the literary domain. Thus, the book expounds upon how these novels may be perceived as tools of integration between sects, races and nations at large. It can aid in opening borders to shared art and literature which inherently engenders response and dialogue leading to possibilities of coalition and integration.

A contextual analysis of the text accompanies an overview of how this treatise was used or ignored throughout subsequent centuries, including the more extensive impact it has had in the last half century.
Estrous cycle manipulation in cats
Authors: Barnes Julie , Vansandt Lindsey
Published: February 2025

For decades, interest in reproductive physiology of the domestic cat has largely been driven by its importance as a model for wild felids and human biomedical research. As such, several assisted reproductive technologies have been established in cats. Despite the growing need for feline theriogenology, the application of these tools in clinical practice is extremely limited. We discuss: 1. reproductive physiology of the queen and her unique challenges; 2. estrus induction (photoperiod, social interaction, and pharmacologic [gonadotropins, GnRH agonists]); 3. natural cycle monitoring (blood hormones, fecal hormone metabolites, behavior, vaginal cytology, transabdominal ultrasonography) and ovulation induction (manual stimulation, pharmacologic [gonadotropins, GnRH agonists]); 4. estrus suppression (photoperiod, melatonin, GnRH agonists, progestins); and 5. permanent nonsurgical contraception (immunocontraception, gene therapy). This review will summarize published reports on estrous cycle manipulation in felids, both wild and domestic; notable differences between cats and dogs are highlighted and comments based on the authors’ personal experiences and preferences for application are included.

Authors: Kanza Najam  , Hammad Zafar  , Fakhre Alam Siddiqui
Published: February 2025

This study aims to investigate HR professional’s intentions to use artificial intelligence (AI) for talent recruitment in Pakistan’s pharmaceutical industry. The present investigation has been done within the Pakistani setting, employing the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a framework. influence, facilitation condition, intention to use and actual use of AI. Drawing upon the understanding of research technique, the study employed a quantitative research approach that stayed faithful to the positivism paradigm. As for now, there is no clear evidence that Pakistan’s pharmaceutical industry officially planning to implement AI in its recruitment process. Thus, this study happens to investigate the HR Professional’s Intention to Adopt and Use of Artificial Intelligence in Recruiting Talents within the pharmaceutical industry of Pakistan. Moreover, the research opts for convenience sampling where the target population has been defined as HR professionals practicing in the pharmaceutical organizations such as Martin Dow, AGP Limited and PharmEvo Private Limited. An online questionnaire survey has been used to get 100 responses from the users. In addition to SPSS for analysing the demographic data, the researcher employed SmartPLS and select PLS-SEM as model type for assessing the constructs. Moreover, the results validated that Effort Expectancy, Facilitating Conditions, and Social Influence have a strong impact on Intention to Use, organizations need to concentrate on these aspects to promote AI. These results correspond with prior studies that also identified such associations in other settings including ERP systems, mobile banking, m-health services. The verification of most of the hypothesis concerning AI adoption in the domain of HR recruitment shows the usefulness of the UTAUT model and its appropriateness to predict technology acceptance patterns in various fields. However, the major limitation is the collection of data via HR professionals who belongs to Karachi in majority.

Historical overview of the phenomenon and development of graffiti culture in Belgrade between 1996. and 2005
Authors: Radošević Ljiljana
Published: February 2025

This paper is a condensed version of an art history MA thesis defended in 2005 at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, focusing on grafti culture. Grafti culture became prominent in Belgrade in the mid1990s and has developed with some fluctuations ever since. This research covers the most formative period of its development, relying primarily on interviews with local grafti writers and immersion in the local grafti scene. Consequently, what began as a study of the visual aspects of grafti writing from an art history perspective evolved into an ethnological study of contemporary urban culture and subcultural artistic movements. The research revealed significant differences in the reception of grafti culture in Belgrade compared to other major cities, largely due to the unique social, political, and economic context in Serbia in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Consolidation of the creditor and debtor: Confusio in Roman law and in the Austrian civil code (ABGB)
Authors: Binder Michael
Published: February 2025

In both Roman law and Austrian civil law, there is a question regarding whether a consolidation between a creditor and his debtor leads to an expiration of the creditor's claim and the debtor's obligation. The following article focuses on legal relationships in which more than two parties are involved, meaning it would still be possible for the creditor (or his heir) to raise a claim against the debtor. Firstly, it is necessary to analyse a case from the Roman jurist Paulus (D. 46, 1, 71 pr.). Following this analysis, the legal situation in Roman law is compared to that in Austrian civil law.

The Influence of Social Support on Postpartum Depression Risk Among Pregnant Women
Authors: Seman M.Y Yusda , Samsinar Samsinar , Intani Trya Mia
Published: February 2025

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious mental health condition affecting mothers after childbirth, potentially impacting both maternal well-being and infant development. This study examines the influence of social support on the risk of postpartum depression among pregnant women using a qualitative approach through a literature review (library research). The research systematically analyzes existing studies on the relationship between social support and postpartum depression, focusing on different types of support, including emotional, informational, instrumental, and companionship support. Findings indicate that strong social support networks, particularly from partners, family members, and healthcare providers, significantly reduce the likelihood of developing PPD. Emotional support plays a crucial role in alleviating feelings of loneliness and anxiety, while informational and instrumental support aid in improving coping mechanisms during the postpartum period. The study also highlights the cultural and socioeconomic factors influencing the availability and perception of social support. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at strengthening social support systems could be effective in preventing postpartum depression. Additionally, healthcare professionals should integrate social support assessments into prenatal and postnatal care to identify women at risk and provide necessary interventions. Future research should explore more culturally diverse perspectives and longitudinal studies to better understand the long-term impact of social support on postpartum mental health. By emphasizing the importance of social support, this study contributes to the broader discourse on maternal mental health and highlights the need for comprehensive support systems for pregnant and postpartum women.

Authors: Ibama Onengiyeofori , Jacob Ruth , Dimeke Chioma Caroline
Published: February 2025

In recent years, alcohol consumption has seen a significant rise, particularly driven by social activities. However, chronic alcohol intake has been widely recognized as a major risk factor for the development of numerous diseases, particularly liver disease. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of aqueous extract of Allium cepa (onion) on ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. A total of twenty-five rats, weighing between 130-180g, were randomly assigned into five groups, each containing five rats. The rats were given a 14-day acclimatization period with free access to standard feed and water before the experiment. Group I served as the negative control and received only standard feed and water. Group II, the positive control, was administered 50% ethanol orally at a dose of 0.5 ml/100g body weight. Groups III, IV, and V received the same ethanol treatment, followed by oral administration of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg, and 600mg/kg of aqueous Allium cepa extract, respectively, once daily for 30 days. At the end of the experiment, the rats were anesthetized using chloroform, and blood samples were collected for the analysis of liver enzymes, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) using enzymatic methods. The livers were also excised for histological analysis using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24, with significance set at p<0.05. The results revealed a significant reduction in the levels of AST (p=0.000028), ALT (p=0.00003), and GGT (p=0.000050) in the groups treated with Allium cepa extract compared to the positive control group. However, no significant differences were observed in ALP levels (p=0.610) across all groups. These findings suggest that aqueous Allium cepa extract may have ameliorative potential against ethanol-induced liver toxicity, possibly due to its antioxidant properties.

This research is oriented to the management of Islamic boarding schools in improving students' literacy skills by reviewing the managerial process applied through 4 approaches, among others: planning (planning), organizing (organizing), actualizing (actuating), and evaluating (evaluating). The methodological knife used is qualitative with the research setting in the Miftahul Ulum Putra Islamic Boarding School, Gondanglegi, Malang. The technique of inputting data and information needed is done by interviewing the stakeholders concerned and accessing documents related to the object. This research was then compiled to critically and deeply analyze the Miftahul Ulum boarding school's management process in improving the students' literacy quality. Based on the research project that has been carried out, several results were found; first, the planning stage was carried out by offering several work programs aimed at improving the students' literacy skills. In the organizing stage, then from each work program that has been planned, a structure is formed based on the divisions that handle their respective fields. Furthermore, in the actualization stage, several existing activities have been carried out consistently, with a time allocation scheduled systematically and integrated with other boarding school activities. Meanwhile, for the evaluation, several obstacles were found, such as the division of the team through the existing divisions, each of which was very limited, the lack of active participants in participating in the planned series of activities, as well as problems in the internal management in the form of inactivity and maximization of the management concerned in carrying out their duties.

Published: February 2025

The Instrumentation Amplifier is among the most critical components of an ECG recording device. The Instrumentation Amplifier may have been the first component in the analogue chain to analyse the ECG data from the human body, determining crucial ECG system parameters including noise and CMRR. Owing to the ECG's very limited bandwidth, developing a fully integrated ECG recording system is extremely difficult. This article discusses a concept for a completely integrated instrumentation amplifier with low noise & low power consumption. The Instrumentation Amplifier's operational power consumption block is just an Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA), that leads in minimal power consumption. The current mirror-based low power OTA was developed in this study using MOSFET sub threshold concept. The circuit's transistors are configured to operate throughout the weak inversion region. CMOS 45nm technology is used to develop and simulate the circuit. With 1V supply voltage, the proposed IA has an input referred noise of 1.21 μVrms.
