KARADAĞ’DA ULUS-DEVLET İNŞASI: ETNOGRAFİ, KÜLTÜR VE SEMBOLLER ÜZERİNDEN YORUMLAMA
Authors: ASKER Ali , KİBAR ÖNDER Neslihan
Published: October 2022

Ulus, ulusal sınırlar içinde kendini gösteren unsurların bir bütünü olarak ifade edilebilir. Bir ulusu hayal etmenin tek bir yolu yoktur. Ulus kimliğini tanımlayan faktörler arasında; etnik köken, din, dil, ortak bir geçmiş, kültür, o ulusa özgü düşünüş, davranış ve yaşayış biçimi vs. yer almaktadır. Kuşkusuz, bu değişkenlik, birtakım tarihi, siyasi, iktisadi ve kültürel faktörlerin etkisiyle şekillenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda ulusal semboller de bir ulusun ve mirasının anlaşılmasına yardımcı olan, ulusu görünür kılan, tanımlama ve ifade bakımından onu somutlaştıran önemli işaretlerdir. Ulusal semboller ulusal mirasın tevarüsü ve aidiyet duygusunun diri tutulması, ayrıca ulusun diğer topluluklardan ayırt edilmesi bakımından belirleyici rol oynamaktadır. Bu yüzden uluslaşma, ulus inşası ve ulusal devlet kuruluşlarında sembollerden yararlanılır. Ulusal sembolleri kültürel ve bağımsızlık sembolleri olarak ikiye ayırabiliriz. Kültürel semboller, toplumun kültür birikimi temeline dayalı, zamanla oluşarak gelişen değerlerdir. Burada, ulusu teşkil eden toplumların kültür mirası son derece belirleyicidir. Bağımsızlık sembolleri ise, siyasi elitler tarafından ulus-devlet inşası sürecinde tahayyül edilir; burada kültürel miras söz konusu sembolleri besleyen temel kaynaklardan biridir. Sembollerin üretimi sırasında karşılaşılan en önemli meselelerden birisi soy birliği, dil, din ve kültür birlikteliği (veya ortaklığı) durumunda “ulusal değerleri sahiplenme” sorunudur. Bu bazen kültürel miras ve tarihi hafıza üzerinde belirgin uyuşmazlıklara yol açmaktadır. Özellikle ulus inşa süreçleri devam eden toplumlarda, söz konusu sorunların bariz şekilde ortaya çıktığını gösteren pek çok örnek bulunmaktadır. Keza, bugün dünyada soy, köken, din ve dil benzerliklerine sahip, aynı tarihi ve kültürel mirastan beslenen pek çok ulus bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Sırplar ve Karadağlılar bahsi geçen sorun bakımından karakteristik bir örnektir. Birçok seçkin bilim insanı Karadağlılardan Sırp olarak bahsederken, bu görüşe muhalif olanların da kayda değer bir oranda olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Gerçekten de pek çok ortak değer ve benzerliklerin yanı sıra Karadağlılar, kendilerini Sırplardan ayıran özgün bir kültür geliştirebilmiştir.

Authors: ÖZDOKUR Seyhan
Published: October 2022

Gastronomi turizmine olan ilginin giderek artmasıyla beraber, turistler tarafından yöresel yemekler, daha fazla talep görmeye başlamıştır. Turistlerin değişen talepleri doğrultusunda, yöresel ürünlerin tanıtımı ve üretim yerlerinin artması kaçınılmaz hale gelmiştir. Günümüzde birçok şehirde kendi yörelerine ait mutfak kültürlerini turistlerin ihtiyacına sunarak hem destinasyonlarının tanınmasını hem de ürünlerinin pazarlanmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Erzincan ili destinasyonun yöresel mutfak kültürünün, vejetaryen mutfak kültüründe kullanılabilecek yöresel yemekleri incelenmiş ve Erzincan mutfağında bulunan vejetaryen yemekleri ön plana çıkarılarak yöresel ürünlerin pazarlanmasına, tanınmasına ve turizmin gelişmesine katkı sağlanması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yaklaşımlarından, yazılı ve doküman inceleme yöntemi seçilmiş ve doküman taraması yapılmıştır. Ayrıca fotoğraflarla beraber yemeklerin yapılışları ile ilgili bilgiler verilmiştir. Erzincan yöresel yemeklerinin birçoğunun, vejetaryen beslenmeye uygun olduğu görülmüştür. Erzincan ilinde yöresel yemek yapan restoranların sayıca az olması, turistlere yönelik üretimin yapılmaması, vejetaryen mutfağına ilginin neredeyse hiç olmaması şehrin eksikleri arasında olduğunu göstermektedir.

Published: October 2022

The world is currently battling the challenge of environmental degradation which is rising at an alarming rate. The situation is greatly attributed to poor waste management. The hospitality industry being a major consumer of resources contributes a lot towards waste generation. Regardless of the high level of waste generation, a lot of hotels continue to use improper waste management practices. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of waste management practices on operating cost of classified hotels in Nakuru County, Kenya. The study sought to determine the effect of waste reduction strategies, waste composting, and waste collection and disposal on operating cost of classified hotels in Nakuru County, Kenya. The study also ascertained the moderating effect of stakeholder cooperation on the relationship between waste management practices and operating cost of classified hotels. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The study population comprised of 61 classified hotels in Nakuru County. Structured questionnaires and semi-structured interview guides were used to gather data. Quantitative analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistics. The research revealed that waste management practices affect operating cost of hotels (R2 = 0.467, p = 0.000). Waste reduction was found to have a negative and statistically significant effect on operating cost (β = -0.167, p = 0.021). Waste composting was found to have a negative and statistically significant effect on operating cost of classified hotels (β = -.161, p = 0.030). Waste collection and disposal was found to have a positive and statistically significant effect on operating cost of hotels (β = 0.299, p = 0.001). Lastly, stakeholder cooperation was found to have a statistically significant moderating effect on the relationship between waste management practices and operating cost of hotels (R2 = 0.532, p = 0.019). Therefore, the study recommend that hotels should prioritize effective waste management practices ascertained to be waste reduction, recycling and waste composting in order to curb the challenge of increasing operating cost. The research also recommended that national waste management policy makers should enact policies that facilitate implementation of effective waste management practices recommended by the study. Keywords: Waste management practices, waste reduction, waste composting, waste collection and disposal, stakeholder cooperation, operating cost

Published: October 2022

During the COVID pandemic and the overlapping racial reckoning, the inequalities of resources and the disparities of the impact on our country and our communities have been exposed more than ever. Like most libraries, at Sherwood Public Library, we had tangible restrictions to our operations, were temporarily limited to curbside and virtual services, and reopened our doors to a community navigating multiple traumas and injustices. As we prepared to welcome our patrons back inside, our existing Behavior Policy (Sherwood Public Library, 2022) was inadequate, lacking the conviction of antiracism and trauma-informed customer service that we knew we needed.
Altered Kynurenine Pathway Metabolism in Rats Fed Added Sugars
Authors: OZTURK Bahadir , ERYAVUZ ONMAZ Duygu
Published: October 2022

Aim: The consumption of added sugars containing fructose has increased dramatically. Various studies have revealed that added sugar consumption may be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular, metabolic and neurocognitive disorders by triggering subclinical inflammation. The imbalance in the kynurenine pathway metabolites may be associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of HFCS-55, invert sugar and sucrose intervention on the kynurenine pathway metabolite levels (tryptophan, kynurenine, 3-hydroxykynurenine, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, quinolinic acid and kynurenic acid) in Wistar rats.
Material and Methods: Twenty-four Wistar male rats (8-12 weeks old, weighting 300-350 g) were included in the study. After one week of conditioning, the animals were randomly divided into four groups: chow diet and tap water (control, n = 6), chow diet and tap water including 10% HFCS-55 (55% sucrose, 45% glucose), chow diet and tap water including 10% sucrose, chow diet and tap water including 10% invert sugar (33% sucrose, 66% glucose and fructose). At the end of the 3-month experimental period, serum kynurenines levels were measured by tandem mass spectrometry.
Results: Serum kynurenine levels and kynurenine / tryptophan ratio were significantly higher (p<0.05) and serum kynurenic acid levels were significantly lower (p<0.05) in rats fed with HFCS, sucrose and invert sugar compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that consumption of added sugar may lead to an imbalance in the kynurenine pathway metabolites. The altered kynurenine metabolism may trigger inflammation and oxidative damage, and may predispose to chronic diseases.

Published: October 2022

Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of the extensile lateral (EL) approach and sinus tarsi (ST) approach in calcaneal fracture surgery.

Materyal-Metod: A total of 40 patients with Sanders II-III calcaneal fractures, including 22 patients in the EL group and 18 patients in the ST group, were included in this retrospective study. In the radiological evaluation, changes in the calcaneus Bohler and Gissane angle, length, width, and height were measured during the preoperative and postoperative period. Clinically, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and the visual analog scale (VAS) were evaluated. In addition, postoperative complications were also evaluated.

Results: In terms of demographic data, the results of both groups were similar. Both the length of hospital stay and the time to surgery were shorter in the ST group (p=0.019, p=0.02, respectively). There was no significant difference between the groups regarding radiological, clinical AOFAS and VAS scores. 13.6% superficial infection was seen in the EL group, and no wound problems were encountered in the ST group (p=0.102). The rate of sural nerve injury was 36.4% in the EL group and 5.6% in the ST group (p =0.003).

Conclusion: Both approaches clinical and radiological outcomes were similar. However, the advantages of the ST approach were shorter hospital stays, lower rate wound infections, and sural nerve injury problems.

Published: October 2022

Aim: Posterior fossa epidural hematoma (PFEDH) in the pediatric age group is a very rare condition and the treatment method is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study is to evaluate the observation results in the management of pediatric patients with PFEDH in our tertiary care hospital and to investigate the importance of the relationship of the hematoma with the cerebral venous sinuses, which has not been investigated before in the literature, in the treatment decision.

Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at Selcuk University, Faculty of Medicine. All patients (≤ 17 years) diagnosed with PFEDH between January 2010 and May 2022 were included in this study. Demographic data, clinical signs, trauma type and symptoms at presentation, CT findings, type of treatment, and outcomes were collected. CT findings including hematoma thickness, hydrocephalus, presence of fourth ventricular compression, relation with cerebral venous sinuses and other associated brain injuries were evaluated.

Results: The patient group consists of two girl and six boy. The most common cause of PFEDH was a fall from a height resulting in a blow to the back of the head in four patients. Vomiting was the most frequent presenting symptom. Four patients had a relation between cerebral venous sinuses and hematoma, and two of these patients underwent surgical treatment

Conclusion: In addition to criteria such as hematoma thickness, GCS, hydrocephalus, and compression of the fourth ventricle, we determined that the relationship of hematoma with venous sinuses is a criterion to be evaluated.

Atualmente enfrenta-se a pandemia do COVID- 19, doença desconhecida que se espalhou rapidamente e exigiu tratamentos eficazes. Na pediatria observou que crianças eram afetadas mais raramente e de forma leve quando comparadas aos adultos. Diante das hipóteses levantadas para explicar esse fenômeno acredita-se na relação entre a enzima conversora de angiotensina 2 (ACE2) nas células epiteliais alveolares do tipo I e II.  A ACE2 é o receptor do SARS-CoV-2, fundamental para a entrada na célula hospedeira e logo na replicação do vírus na infância há uma expressão limitada da ACE2, devido os pulmões ainda estarem em desenvolvimento, resultando em proteção. Homens têm níveis mais altos de ACE2 em suas células alveolares em comparação às mulheres, o que explica o maior número de mortes no sexo masculino e predisposição, quando comparado as crianças nas taxas de hospitalização entre meninas e meninos. No Reino Unido e posteriormente na Europa e EUA foram identificadas crianças com manifestações da síndrome inflamatória multissistêmica (MIS-C). Apresentaram choque hiperinflamatório semelhantes à doença de Kawasaki e à síndrome do choque tóxico além de febre, sinais de inflamação generalizada, hipotensão e disfunção de múltiplos órgãos.

Despite the critical role played by distribution channels in supply chain, along with strategies made by government, the beverage products in Dar es Salaam-Tanzania are still discounted following the distribution channels inability to undertake supply chain roles. This paper examined the factors impeding distribution channels in Supply Chain of beverage products and recommended strategies for improving the same. Qualitative approach was adopted and data were drawn from a purposive sample of 50 respondents through interviews and focus group discussions. Accordingly, distribution channels in Supply Chain was impeded by poor transportation, inadequate storage facilities, inability to improve quality and poor marketing services. The study recommends some ways to minimise the impediments. These include ensuring suitable road infrastructures; providing soft loans and grants to the distribution channels in order to buy modern storage facilities; adequate and reliable storage facilities and ensuring adequate electric power supply. The inability to value addition should be alleviated through empowering financially to obtain enough capital of buying effective handling and storage facilities. Authorities responsible for quality assurance should play their active role in ensuring quality assurance and standards of beverage products; to improve marketing services, devising the innovative ways of reaching the customers by adopting adequate promotion techniques. Therefore, factors impeding the role of distribution channels in Supply Chain of beverages can be alleviated through improvement of storage, distribution and transportation, value addition and quality as well as improving marketing services.

“Gentrify? No! Gentefy? Sí!”: Urban Redevelopment and Ethnic Gentrification in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles
Authors: Ahrens Mareike
Published: October 2022

“Gentrify? No! Gentefy? Sí!” (Farrell and Medina) is the slogan employed by middle-class Latino bar and start-up owners in Boyle Heights, a predominantly Latino, low-income, and working-class neighborhood in East Los Angeles that “[t]ries to [c]hange, but [a]void the [p]itfalls” (Medina) of gentrification. Alluding to the Spanish word la gente (the people), middle-class Latinos aim to improve the neighborhood from within the community in order to maintain the area’s Latino character and to avoid the displacement, exclusion, and sociospatial polarization typical of gentrification. Analyzing the potential and limitations of gentefication within the framework of neoliberal urbanization, the paper argues that the notion of gentefication marks a deeply ambivalent, contradictory interrelation of bottom-up momentum for neighborhood improvement and top-down real estate development. As upwardly mobile Latinos assert their desire to remain in the urban core, lower-income Latinos are displaced and class frictions within the ethnic community increase. Moreover, the residents’ momentum to positively reconfigure ethnic neighborhoods is often appropriated by redevelopment coalitions that try to render the area attractive for desired consumers via reference to its exotic character. Ethnicity is opened up for consumption as well as urban boosterism, and low-income residents face displacement due to the influx of affluent residents and consumers.
Minecraft Education Edition in foreign language education: Pre-service teachers’ reasons for acceptance and integration
Authors: Fung Kristen , Smith Sara , Gandolfi Enrico
Published: October 2022

In this paper, I explored the reasons three pre-service teachers gave for why they accept and integrate Minecraft Education Edition into their growing practice. During a six-week online university course on technology in foreign language education, a group of twenty-one pre-service and in-service teachers created weekly Reflexive Digital Story (RDS) Journals to document their technology exploration along with lesson plans and projects that incorporated innovative technologies they wanted to integrate into their practice. Three of the pre-service teachers enrolled in this course became innovators and early adopters in comparison to their peers as they voluntarily integrated Minecraft Education Edition into their coursework. This allowed me to qualitatively analyze their coursework to identify the reasons they integrated the digital game into their developing practice. This work contributes to the field of digital game-based learning, technology acceptance and integration, and the study of teacher education by illuminating the factors that contribute to why pre-service teachers accept and use Virtual Worlds (VWs). I discovered the reasons these pre-service teachers gave for acceptance and use of VW technology embodied the recognition of a need for motivation and engagement in the classroom, beliefs about the social nature of culture and language, and perceptions of VWs as an opportunity to make the impossible possible.
What Do Service Providers’ Understand About Cross-Cultural Differences In The ‘Stranger Danger’ Myth?
Authors:   Scholar Freedom Pty Ltd, Sawrikar Pooja
Published: October 2022

The paucity of research on cross-cultural diversity in the psychosocial experience of child sexual abuse can affirm biases toward universality. However, belief of the myth that most perpetrators are strangers may be higher in ethnic minority communities because of collectivist norms that view extended family as primary providers of child safety, maintained by prohibitive social norms discussing any sexual matters to protect female and family honour. A program addressing these issues was delivered across Australia and evaluated over six months using a mixed-methods design. The results show that the program fulfilled its intention, with service providers more deeply engaging with this possible cross-cultural difference. They also show the program: safely allows white practitioners to acknowledge their awareness of this possible difference; eases judgment of this difference among ethnic minority practitioners in light of the multiple oppressions migrant communities negotiate; and raises attunement among all practitioners to ‘quiet’ child-safe parenting that may be occurring to help ensure risk-of-harm assessments are more accurate. Overall, there appears a need for persistent national awareness-raising campaigns against the myth of ‘stranger danger’ because this myth serves a protective function in all cultures (to greater or lesser extents) about perceptions of where children are/are not safe.

"The paper highlights the vital role the English language plays in the aviation industry. Its purpose is to explain the connection between the military specialties and branches that can be chosen by the students who pursue a career in aviation, and the ability to speak, write and understand English. The correlation between these two aspects is further sustained by the analysis of the all-time deadliest air disaster – Tenerife, whose major contributing factor was the communication error based on the English language."
Studii și propuneri pentru dezvoltarea și întrebuințarea flotei comerciale maritime române în timp de pace și război (1938-1940)
Authors:   Universitatea „Hyperion”, București, GIURCĂ Ion
Published: October 2022

"After becoming an independent state, which was followed by the return of Dobruja to the Romanian state, Romania became a littoral country. Therefore, the need arose to create, along with the Danube merchant fleet, a maritime one, with state and private capital, to contribute to the country’s budget, by transporting goods not only for domestic needs but also for the needs of other countries or companies. At the same time, it was considered necessary to build a military naval and river fleet to defend the Danube and the Black Sea, which proved useful during the National Reunification War (1916-1920), as well as to provide support for the collective security system existing in the 1930s (Romanian-Polish, Little Entente and Balkan Pact). The development of the state merchant navy in Romania dates back to 1895, when Grigore Manu was given the task of organising a maritime navigation service, an action that got materialised in a law adopted on 7/19 June 1888. The first voyage of a ship operated by the Romanian Maritime Service took place on 14/26 August 1895, when “Medeea” left Brăila for Istanbul, carrying 25 passengers and 600 tons of cargo. A few days later, on 26 August/8 September, “Meteor” made the first voyage with the same destination. Starting on 14/26 September it was to operate regular passenger transport services between Constanța and Istanbul (Ghica, 1939, pp. 149-150; Sambra, Historia)."
The Role of Governance in Achieving UN Global Goals
Authors:   Medical Directorate, Ministry of National Defence, COJAN Nicușor
Published: October 2022

"Global governance brings together various actors to coordinate collective action around the world. This concept encompasses all the institutions, policies, rules, procedures and initiatives by which states and their citizens seek to bring more predictability, stability and order into their responses to transnational challenges and is largely achieved through international organisations. In fact, the goal of global governance is to provide global policies and services, in particular peace and security systems, justice and conflict mediation, functioning markets and unified standards for trade and industry. In the current international context, sustainable development is an important goal of global policy, and intergovernmental and governmental agencies as well as private sector companies have a duty to explore different approaches to how national intergovernmental and national strategies, policies and projects address issues. Global governance guidelines are formulated, implemented and evaluated to support the achievement of the 2030 Agenda objectives."

Özellikle ana akım medya kuruluşlarından ayrılan veya bu kanallarda iş bulamayan gazetecilerin sosyal medya platformlarında çalışmalarını yürütmeyi tercih etmesi ve bu alanlarda reklamı gelir kaynağı olarak kullanmaları ile farklı boyutlara yönelmektedir. Çalışmada, yeni medya platformlarının gelişmesi ile bu alanlarda gazetecilik faaliyetlerini yürüten bireysel gazetecilerin reklamı gelir modelleri içerisine dâhil etmesinin meslek etiği bakımından uygulanabilirliği sorusuna yanıt aramaktadır. Bu amaçla, basın meslek örgütlerinin veya haber kuruluşlarının haber-reklam ilişkisine dair yaklaşımlarından örnekler üzerinde durulup bireysel gazetecilik faaliyetlerinde sosyal medyanın önemi tartışılmaktadır. Ayrıca meslek ilkelerinin belirlenmesinde etkin rol oynayan kurumların yöneticileri ve alanında uzman akademisyenlerle yapılan derinlemesine görüşmelerle alternatif mecralarda bireysel gazetecilik yapan kişilerin hesaplarından reklam yapmalarının dijital çağdaki etik boyutu konumlandırılmaya çalışılmaktadır.

Blister beetles are an important object of study in the field of agriculture and health. Despite being known to be important for the host animal, the gut bacteria of blister beetles have not been investigated deeply. This study aimed to provide the first initial description of the gut bacterial community of Mylabris pustulata as one species of blister beetles, based on a culture-independent technique. Adult blister beetles of the same colony were sampled and confirmed as Mylabris pustulata Thunberg. The gut content was used in high throughput sequencing, targeting the V3-V4 regions of 16S rRNA gene, and in the cultivation of resident bacteria. The results showed that higher bacterial richness was present in the gut communities when compared to the grown bacterial culture. Proteobacteria was confirmed as the most abundant phylum in the gut of M. pustulata, whereby most reads belonged to the class of Gammaproteobacteria. The dominant bacterial genera were determined as Enterobacter, Acinetobacter, Enterococcus, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas. In addition, our cultivation attempts led to successful isolation of members of Klebsiella and Enterococcus. The subject of this study could be explored further to find the potential roles of these microbiota in the gut of the specific beetles and their bioprospects.

Anderson places the interview within Lentz’s works, just before his first “California Sound” piece, Song(s) of the Sirens (1973). The interview is fragmentary due to tape failure, but it is also light-hearted. Lentz and Childs light-heartedly discuss Lentz’s biography and education; his works as performed in Europe and differences in reception; electronic and tape music. They explore style and value; masterpiece culture and Perspectives of New Music; historical differences between American and European music; performers and self-performance; juvenilia and legacy, and notation. Lentz mentions Tanglewood and study with Roger Sessions; serial music; jazz; popular music; the impact of listening; “problems” in composition; comparison between poetry and composition; analogies with winemaking; the Vietnam War and politics; and the English wit and compositional games.

Perry unpacks Westergaard’s complex musical style within the context of the time of the interview and in light of his work in tonal theory and linguistics. Westergaard discusses his development of the 12-tone system and polyphony in his Variations and other works. He talks about style (an imprecise term in his view) and idea, syntax and rhetoric, transformational grammar, Chomsky, differences between musical and verbal language, Schenkerian analysis, the completion of his book on tonal analysis, his opera of The Tempest, and problems of dramaturgy and text setting. Childs and Westergaard debate “the Princeton Syndrome,” explore listening and the audience, and Fasslichkeit or “graspability”
Itinerant World Traveler

Published: October 2022

After petitions from Jenson to join the Historian’s Office full time, Church Historian Franklin D. Richards finally acquiesced in 1891. He designated Jenson a “historian in Zion” and commissioned him to set the records of the church in order. The call inspired Jenson’s visit to every ecclesiastical unit and mission in the church and prompted a world tour from 1895 to 1897. Years of polygamy prosecutions left the records of the church scattered and disorganized. As Jenson attempted to restore order, he also tread on painful silences in the historical record. His attempt to better document the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1892 brought into sharp focus the high stakes of his work. His efforts were a race against time before memories and documents were lost forever.
Public Commemorator
Authors: Neilson Reid L. , Marianno Scott D.
Published: October 2022

As Jenson aged, he grew content with his role as a public historian, ambassador of the Historian’s office, advocate for sound record keeping, and member of the dwindling pioneer generation. Each passing year brought more anniversaries of the church’s formative years and growth. With greater distance from its polygamist past, the church could now celebrate its milestones as significant contributions to the expanding American empire and its culture. Jenson participated in a centennial celebration of the church’s founding as well as public commemorations of the pioneers, the Mormon Battalion, and the Mormon Trail. In an age of monument building, each new Latter-day Saint monument enshrined the church’s past in American public memory and marked Jenson’s tireless work to document the Latter-day Saint experience.

In April 1937, Emma Howell, Jenson’s first plural wife, passed away. Jenson’s own physical strength also began to flag, and his travels slowed. Despite his failing health, he never intended to retire from the Historian’s Office or from his role as Assistant Church Historian. In the final years of his life, Jenson produced what he felt was his magnum opus. To add to his collection of published chronologies and biographies, Jenson wrote Encyclopaedic History of the Church (1941), his first book to bear the official copyright of the church. Just a month before his ninety-first birthday, Jenson passed away. Newspapers nationwide printed obituaries celebrating Jenson as a committed Latter-day Saint historian and diligent gatherer of documents and facts.
Stewards of Civil Order
Authors: Kissel Stephen T.
Published: October 2022

This chapter explores how civil order in Northwestern towns was strengthened by local churches whose congregations sought to provide members with a secure, disciplined, and stable environment for religious fellowship and worship. At a time in which Midwestern lawyers and judges convened court sporadically, civil matters and breaches in moral conduct were just as likely to be tried by religious assemblies. Private lives became extremely public as congregations and lay committees monitored the conduct and spiritual devotion of both ministers and lay members. Even nonbelievers were often compelled to respect religious standards of conduct to remain in good standing with their community. Through disciplinary policies and procedures, antebellum church governments initiated effective, extralegal means of preserving civil order and moral accountability in the Old Northwest.
A Religious Mosaic
Authors: Kissel Stephen T.
Published: October 2022

This section serves as an epilogue, concluding the book’s analysis in 1848, a time of civic, industrial, and religious maturation for the states of the Old Northwest. Railroads provided new channels of communication and exchange, while civic townscapes began to reflect the architectural refinement and permanency of eastern states. The intricacy with which religion was imbedded into the region’s social and civic fabric continued to foster encounters, bonds, and ideals that shaped local identity and community into a rich and enduring religious mosaic. Collectively, the religious influence in the antebellum Northwest helped to cultivate a regional Midwestern character that was largely rooted in rural, middling-class, and Christian values—characteristics that in many ways continue to define the region today.
Learning to Resist, Resisting to Learn

Although Puerto Rican students’ school dropout rate was high in the 1970s, the number of students attending colleges and universities increased, both in Chicago and across the state. Two of those institutions, Northeastern Illinois University and the University of Illinois Circle Campus (later known as the University of Illinois at Chicago), quickly became sites of contention as the students sought institutional changes aimed at increasing the number of Puerto Rican and other Latina/o students and creating resources and opportunities to enhance their success. Perhaps learning from their community’s struggles during the previous decade, Puerto Rican students mobilized and utilized their community capital to challenge yet another system of education that they saw as impeding their progress. Chapter 4 serves to historicize the experiences of these students.

The conclusion shows that the Puerto Rican community in Chicago, a community in constant flux, achieved and continues to achieve real results in the lives of schoolchildren. And central to this story is an understanding of the space and the place that the community occupies in the city’s history.
Introduction
Authors: Resnikoff Jason
Published: October 2022

Throughout the history of the United States, the meaning of work has been a fundamental part of the way Americans defined political freedom. With the important exception of the defenders of antebellum slavery, classical American liberalism held that a free person owned productive property and worked for himself. With industrialization, the contradiction between self-rule and wage laboring posed difficult theoretical and practical challenges to the achievement of true democracy in the United States. The postwar automation discourse was one solution to that contradiction: If machines, rather than people, could be exploited, all could be free. Unfortunately, “automation” did not--and has not--meant the abolition of human labor, but rather its intensification, degradation, and speedup.
Machines of Loving Grace
Authors: Resnikoff Jason
Published: October 2022

The chapter considers the way thinkers across the American left in the postwar period subscribed to the automation discourse. They believed that, given the correct conditions, industrial civilization would produce free people. In accepting the automation discourse’s denigration of work, postwar leftists conceded a crucial point: that oppression resulted not from the activity of oppressors but from the biology of the human body. Rather than accept the existence of a tension between necessity and freedom, theorists and activists on the Left hoped to resolve the problem by eliminating half the equation. In dismissing work as incompatible with freedom, some of the most vibrant tendencies of postwar radicalism abandoned the workplace, both physically and theoretically, as a ground on which people might achieve freedom.
Slaves in Tomorrowland
Authors: Resnikoff Jason
Published: October 2022

The chapter discusses the way both liberal and radical feminist thinkers embraced a degraded definition of domestic and reproductive labor that was integral to their visions of women’s liberation. Believing that “automation” would allow an escape from the demands of housework and reproduction, influential postwar feminists reaffirmed the understanding that “women’s work” had no value beyond the maintenance of bare life, leaving behind in the process the people performing this labor, above all, poor women of color. It was welfare mothers agitating for a guaranteed annual income, many of them Black, who demanded not the “automation” of housework but rather a recognition that the labor of the body produced value for society—that it was an activity that could be made consistent with political freedom.
Conclusion
Authors: Resnikoff Jason
Published: October 2022

Whereas the automation discourse in the middle of the twentieth century fed off both utopian enthusiasm and unease, its twenty-first-century incarnation is characterized by fears of dystopia and of powerlessness. Still, like the original automation discourse, “automation” in the second millennium does not abolish human labor: it degrades it. The current style of “automation” at Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, as well as in heavy industry, is like that of its first iteration. . The machines do not do the work; they regiment, degrade, and harry human beings on the line so that they act as though they are machines. To reconcile freedom and work, working people must demand democratic control over the use of these machines.
(Mis)Representation, Ownership, and Appropriation
Authors: Goldin-Perschbacher Shana
Published: October 2022

Chapter 4 considers concerns of appropriation and misrepresentation. This chapter explores nonbinary musician Rae Spoon’s “Stolen Song” and the music video that inspired it (Arcade Fire’s We Exist), engaging the history of folk and country music’s impacts on North Americans’ understanding of identity and, more broadly, the questions of artistic sincerity in the context of Otherness, accusations of misrepresentation, and questions of national belonging.
