The Politics of Authenticating
Authors: Ekins Richard , Porter Robert
Published: December 2024

The Politics of Authenticating: Revisiting New Orleans Jazz sets forth an entirely new approach to the study of authenticity, based not upon a search for finding the ‘true’ meaning of the concept or ‘unmasking’ its claims. Rather, it details a grounded theory of ‘authenticating’ as a basic socio-political process, important in understanding the origins, development and consequences of competing knowledge claims in diverse areas of human experience and activity over time and place. The book is part jazz historiography, part autoethnography, and part memoir. It details Richard Ekins revisiting of the quest for authenticity in the social worlds of international New Orleans revivalist jazz from the early 1960s onwards, from his standpoint as a social constructionist social scientist and cultural theorist. The book grew out of a series of long, detailed conversations between Ekins and his interlocutor (Robert Porter) and captures the energy and dynamism of these exchanges in the writing of the text, providing what the authors call a ‘riff methodology’ that might be drawn on by other scholars concerned to write books that revisit aspects of their personal and professional lives.

Creators and Created Beings in Twentieth-Century Latin American Fiction
Authors: Frazier-Yoder Amy
Published: December 2024

Characters are made, scripted, and invented, but Creators and Created Beings in Twentieth Century Latin American Fiction explores what occurs when literary creations become creators themselves. Representing Latin American fiction’s increasingly skeptical gaze in the early- to mid- twentieth century, these literary creators breach the metafictional frame in order to problematize themes including life and death, gender and sexuality, and technology. Drawing upon a diverse range of literary works by canonical and non-canonical authors including Jorge Luis Borges, Horacio Quiroga, Carlos Onetti, Julio Cortázar, María Luisa Bombal, Carlos Fuentes, Roberto Arlt, Juan José Arreola, Eduardo Ladislao Holmberg, Clemente Palma, Adolfo Bioy Casares, and Pedro Angelici, this study excavates critical ontological and epistemological inquiries and delves into questions of identity, power, scientific knowledge, and the transformative nature of fiction.

This book examines the early Muslim conquests that started with the first caliph, Abu Bakr, and accelerated during the reign of the second caliph, Omar. During this time, the Sassanids were destroyed, the political and commercial order of Rome was turned upside down, and the ancient period came to an end. Iraq, a province belonging to the Persians and the capital city of Ctesiphon, was the first of the regions the Caliphate entered. This book explores in detail the history of the Islamic conquests in Iraq, how and why the Sassanid Empire fell, and the Islamization policies of the Rashidun Caliphate.
New Jersey Women during World War II
Authors: Chappine Patricia
Published: December 2024

While World War II has long been viewed as a pivotal period that allowed women expanded opportunities in the military and the labor force, locally focused considerations have long been left out of the national narrative. New Jersey Women during World War II: On the Home Front and Abroad by Patricia Chappine explores the experiences that detail the wartime narrative of New Jersey women on the home front and abroad and describes the impact these women had as they pushed past gendered social boundaries and joined the war effort in numbers greater than any previous generation of Americans. Through expansive research, Chappine examines the critical role the women of New Jersey played as they stepped into newly formed military branches and entered the labor force in areas never-before open to them, volunteering in staggering numbers. Focusing on the nuances of women’s wartime experiences, this book blends the personal with the social, political, and economic climate of New Jersey and the communicated aspirations, uncertainties, and fears of women during World War II to offer new insights into the role they all played.
The San Francisco Nexus in World War II
Authors: Meza Philip E.
Published: December 2024

In The San Francisco Nexus in World War II: Freedoms Found, Liberties Lost, and the Atomic Bomb, Meza tells the story of important events in the San Francisco Bay Area that have consequences still felt to date. He traces the invention of the atomic bomb, from a speculative design for a nuclear weapon sketched on a chalkboard at Berkeley by theoretical physicist Robert Oppenheimer and helped made real by “Big Science” that was pioneered by his friend and colleague, experimental physicist Ernest Lawrence. During this time, Black Americans migrated to San Francisco to escape the Jim Crow South, finding new freedoms, good jobs, and a leader in a singer-turned-welder named Joseph James. Meza shows how James fought for and won an end to segregation in his union, taking a large step toward the civil rights movement. At the same time, Japanese Americans were forced from their homes by a tragically misguided presidential executive order, upheld by the US Supreme Court, illustrating the fragility of liberty in America. These events continue to shape the world today.
Culture and Cruelty in Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Artaud
Authors: Statkiewicz Max
Published: December 2024

Questioning the Enlightenment in Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, and Artaud challenges the cultural optimism of the Enlighten through an examination of Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Artaud. The Enlightenment was characterized, as Arnold put it, as “sweetness and light”. Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Artaud each pushed back against the optimism of the enlightenment through their writing and advanced the idea of cruelty as lying at the root of all human nature and culture. In this study, Statkiewicz explores the seemingly opposing notions of culture and cruelty within the works of these authors to discuss their complex relationship with one another.
Unsafe Home
Authors: Ezioni Limor
Published: December 2024

In Unsafe Home: Child Harming within the Family, Limor Ezioni focuses on the three major types of child harming within the family—abuse, incest, and filicide—and provides an in-depth exploration of each type historically, legally, and comparatively. In the first part, focusing on abuse executed on children, Ezioni addresses both physical and emotional abuse, discussing what constitutes child abuse, how it should be punished, and whether any damage caused to a child is prosecutable by law. In the second part of the book, Ezioni examines childhood incest, focusing on adult survivors and the multitude of legal problems they face while attempting to pursue justice through the legal system and questioning whether the current legal and criminal provisions provide sufficient protection for survivors. In the final section of the book, Ezioni examine the filicide phenomenon and how the judicial system in western countries deals with the painful reality that reflects the society in which it occurs—filicide is often carried out by parents who are unable to function as a parent in circumstances dictated by the place and time in which they live. Scholars of legal studies, family studies, criminology, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.
Role of Ultrasound and Its Recent Applications in Diagnosing Fetal Malformations
Authors: Latha Routhu Madhavi
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, ultrasound is widely used for diagnosing fetal abnormalities. For better outcomes, early diagnosis of fetal abnormalities are needed. It facilitates time for other investigations and counseling for management options. Some of the prenatally diagnosed significant structural abnormalities may result in termination of pregnancy. Most of the anomalies do not require any treatment. Some structural anomalies are associated with genetic conditions or may be due to infections. To know the rate of prenatal detection of the disorders by this modality is also essential. Recent ultrasound technical improvements like high-resolution linear transducers, radiant flow, 3D/4D technology, Spatiotemporal Image Correlation (STIC), Fetal HQ , and artificial intelligence enhance the evaluation of the fetal heart. This chapter will discuss the role of ultrasound and recent research for improving the detection rate of fetal abnormalities and the use of higher-end technical applications to improve diagnostic capability and functional analysis.

The exploitation of resources and industrialized and societal activities has resulted in global freshwater contamination, which is a serious environmental concern. Climate variability exerts a significant influence on the metal concentrations in water sources. The monitoring of metal concentrations in surface water systems amidst climate change and variability has received limited attention, especially in southern Africa. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate temporal variations and seasonal patterns that impact metal levels in the Kaapmuiden River. The results show that the river observed higher iron in the autumn season of 2021 and 2016, recording 0.90 mg/l and 0.64 mg/l, respectively. Manganese was high in two different seasons: spring (2016) recording 0.060 mg/l and winter (2021) recording 0.053 mg/l. The result of this study shows that iron concentration was within the acceptable level of approximately 0.5–1 mg/l set for the ecological health of the river. Subsequently, results show high levels of aluminium in autumn for 2017 and 2021 with a concentration of 0.59 mg/l and 1.10 mg/l, respectively. High concentrations of manganese and aluminium in water resources have an ecotoxicological effect on aquatic biota; hence, adequate measures should be placed to minimize the introduction of these metals from anthropogenic activities.

Authors: Wang Dandan , Li Mengci , Wang Zhe
Published: December 2024

Background: Dental diseases and disorders are reported to affect specific ages, genders, and races of patients. Therefore, epidemiological investigations are necessary for understanding dental diseases and disorders. Objectives: This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence and potential risk factors of chronic pulpitis, dental caries, and periapical disease in adults seeking treatment at the Tianjin Stomatological Hospital, Tianjin, a major referral center in the Northern region of China. Methods: A total of 3,245 males and females visited the Department of Adult Dentistry and the Department of Endodontics of the Tianjin Stomatological Hospital, Tianjin, China, for oral health concerns from January 17, 2020, to November 18, 2023. Among these patients, 615 (19%) were receiving treatment for chronic pulpitis, dental caries, and/or periapical diseases at the institute. Demographic parameters and clinical examination results of 496 patients (119 patients were excluded due to missing information) who were being treated for chronic pulpitis (long-term inflammation of the dental pulp), dental caries (a biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven, multifactorial, dynamic disease), and/or periapical disease (inflammation around the tooth root) with varying severity (moderate or severe) were included in the study. Results: Of the 496 patients, 300 (60%) were females, 328 (66%) were aged 60 years or older, and 295 (59%) had issues with mandibular teeth. Among the patients, 250 (50%), 301 (61%), and 151 (30%) were diagnosed with dental caries, chronic pulpitis, and periapical disease(s), respectively. Female gender (P = 0.041), age ≥ 60 years (P = 0.045), and issues with mandibular teeth (P = 0.046) were found to be associated with chronic pulpitis, dental caries, and periapical diseases in the patients. Conclusions: The prevalence of dental diseases and disorders in Han Chinese adults is 19% in the Northern regions of China. Chronic pulpitis and dental caries are the most prevalent dental diseases, while periapical diseases occur less frequently among Han Chinese adults in the Northern regions of China. Females, individuals aged ≥ 60 years, and issues with mandibular teeth are independent risk factors for the development of chronic pulpitis, dental caries, and periapical disease in adult patients in Northern regions of China. Policymakers in China should consider the findings of this study to reduce dental diseases and disorders in Chinese adults, especially in the Northern regions of China.

Published: December 2024

Abstract—Energy transmission lines, metal pipelines, and rail
systems share the same routes due to environmental and
economic factors. The electromagnetic interactions occurring
along these routes can lead to significant technical problems and
some safety concerns. Since these effects can cause partial
discharge and corrosion in metal pipelines, solutions are being
developed to analyze and mitigate such impacts. In this study, the
effects of electromagnetic interference on the Baku-TbilisiCeyhan Oil Pipeline (the standard nominal pipe size 42") are
analyzed under both steady-state and fault conditions. In steadystate analyses, when the cathodic protection system is in
operation, the current density is reduced by 73.75% and the touch
voltage by 74.2%. In fault conditions, it is observed that the step
and touch voltages did not exceed the limits specified by
international standards. The results highlight the significant
impact of cathodic protection systems on safety and system
reliability.

Published: December 2024

Abstract— Interest in photovoltaic solar panels, a renewable
energy source, is increasing day by day, and the installation of
solar panels is becoming more widespread. To achieve maximum
efficiency from solar panels, they must be installed at a specific
angle. In this study, a Photovoltaic Geographical Information
System (PVGIS), capable of performing calculations based on
latitude, longitude data, and satellite data, was used to determine
the optimum tilt angle for three selected regions in Azerbaijan.
The optimum tilt angles were determined for monthly, seasonal,
and annual periods for the selected regions, and the global
irradiation and maximum energy production values at these
angles were compared. In practical applications, the tilt angle is
set equal to the latitude. The energy production at the monthly,
seasonal, and annual optimum tilt angles was compared with the
practical application. When the tilt angle is determined annually,
the gain is 0.66%, while the gain increases to 4.2% when the
angle is set seasonally. When the tilt angle is adjusted monthly,
the gain reaches 4.91%, achieving the highest gain. The gain
increases and the efficiency of the installed panels improves
when the tilt angle is determined monthly and seasonally.

Published: December 2024

Toplumsal yaşamın her alanını kapsamış olan örgütlerin, başarılı bir şekilde faaliyetlerine devam etmeleri tüm paydaşları yakından ilgilendirmektedir. Bu sebeple örgüt ve yönetim hakkında 20. yüzyıl başlarından itibaren araştırmalar yapılmaktadır. Örgütlerin yönetimiyle ilgili ilk olarak geliştirilen Geleneksel Yönetim Yaklaşımı, daha sonraki yıllarda ortaya çıkan birçok sorunu çözmekte yetersiz kalmıştır. Ancak, eksiklerine ve yoğun eleştirilere rağmen günümüzde hala birçok örgütte uygulanmaya devam etmektedir.
Birinci Endüstri devrimi sonrasında gelişen üretim yöntemlerine göre şekillenen Standart Çalışma saatleri uygulamaları hala yoğun bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Çalışma yaşamındaki gelişmelere bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan esnek çalışma uygulamalarına rağmen, işgörenlerin büyük çoğunluğu hala standart saatlerle çalışmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, standart çalışma uygulamaları işgörenler üzerinde monotonluk, tatminsizlik gibi sorunlara neden olmaktadır.
İnsan unsuruna gerekli önemi vermeyen örgütlerin günümüzde başarılı olma şansı kalmamıştır. Bunun için araştırmalar yapılarak, işgörenin istek ve niteliklerine uygun yeni uygulamalar devreye sokulmaktadır. İşgören Bağlılığı da bu anlamda öne çıkan kavramlardan birisi olup, iş tatmini, performans ve verimlilik gibi birçok davranışa etkisi bulunmaktadır. Ancak; bireysel, örgütsel ve çevresel birçok dinamiğin değiştiği iş dünyasında istenen bağlılık düzeyini yakalamak ve korumak hiç kolay değildir. Bunun için örgütler bilinç ve özveriyle daha fazla çaba göstemek zorundadırlar.

Diversos estudios destacan la relación entre inteligencia emocional (IE) y rendimiento académico en estudiantes universitarios, subrayando la importancia de considerar habilidades emocionales en la formación educativa. En este estudio se analizan tres variables: IE, competencias emocionales y rendimiento académico. La muestra incluye 123 estudiantes de la Universidad de León, 90 de Grado y 33 de Máster. Se utilizaron las escalas TMMS-24, CDE-A y las notas medias de expediente para recoger datos. Los resultados muestran que no hay diferencias significativas en IE entre hombres y mujeres. Sin embargo, se identifican necesidades específicas en dimensiones emocionales según las ramas de conocimiento. Respecto a las competencias emocionales, destacan como mejor dominadas las relacionadas con la vida y el bienestar, mientras que la regulación emocional es la más débil. Además, las mujeres presentan un rendimiento ligeramente superior, con variaciones significativas según las ramas de conocimiento. Finalmente, los estudiantes muestran interés en asignaturas sobre IE.

En pleno siglo XXI, la educación se enfrenta cada vez a mayores aspectos que requieren la profesionalización de conocimientos que permitan hacer frente a los retos presentes y futuros de la educación moderna. Ante esta realidad, se ha demostrado que cualquier profesión en algún momento ha recurrido a las artes (Velázquez et al., 2023). La educación artística tiene un impacto significativo en el desarrollo integral de todo estudiante, dado que promueve su crecimiento cognitivo, académico, social y emocional. Investigaciones recientes han mostrado que la participación en actividades de carácter artístico fortalece la confianza, la autoestima y la capacidad de la expresión emocional de los alumnos/as (Meneses y Valencia, 2023). Por tanto, incluir la enseñanza de la educación artística en el currículum escolar no solamente mejora el bienestar de los alumnos/as sino que también influye en la mejora del rendimiento académico y fomenta la inclusión social (Meneses y Valencia, 2023). Los objetivos del presente estudio teórico eran: conocer en profundidad en qué consiste el Proyecto MUS-E e investigar sobre experiencias MUS-E ya realizadas.

La explotación acelerada de los recursos naturales ha llevado a la humanidad a una situación preocupante, pues algunos de ellos están por agotarse irreversiblemente. Esto implica consecuencias devastadoras para la humanidad y para el planeta entero. Por ello, resulta urgente el desarrollo de métodos que permitan la obtención de sustancias de interés a partir de fuentes no explotadas aún, de preferencia aquellas consideradas como residuos o desechos. En este trabajo se presenta un método sencillo, de bajo costo, sustentable y fácilmente replicable que aprovecha residuos orgánicos para la producción de celulasas y pectinasas mediante el cultivo de moho por fermentación en estado sólido. Las enzimas obtenidas permiten la recuperación de algunas sustancias de interés desde desechos agrícolas. En particular, se presenta la recuperación de carotenoides contenidos en la cáscara de mango y la producción de azúcares fermentables a partir de la degradación de la fibra del fruto del chote. De este modo, se adopta una estrategia de cero desechos, en la que todo residuo es aprovechado. Se destaca el papel que tuvieron tres mujeres jóvenes en el desarrollo del proyecto, quienes actualmente son ingenieras agroindustriales y quienes, con esta participación, contribuyen a la paridad de género en el ámbito científico.

Millennials are considered to cover individuals born between 1980-1996. This generation in literature is also described as the Internet Belt, Millennials, Echo Boomers, Generation Next, Nexters. The core values of this generation are innovation, independence, creativity, ambition and development. More egocentric than other generations, millennials are fond of brands, friends, entertainment and digital culture. Y-generation, a self-confident, educated generation, has a different perspective on business life, consumption style and social relations. In the next 10 years, millennials will make up 75% of the global workforce. It is estimated that vacation and travel will be an indispensable item for the Y generation. Therefore, it will reveal a number of opportunities for the travel and hospitality industry. There will also be differentiations in tourism trends for this generation, which prefers travel programs to have different experiences in travel and sightseeing preferences. Finally, examples of research on tourism trends among millennials (wellness tourism, camping, solo traveller, spiritual tourism and yoga vacations) were examined. This paper will contribute to literature in this subject and it can be said that this study has a quality that will lead to academic research and that it is a research that tourism sector can benefit from it.
