Transformasi Sosial Pendidikan
Authors: Sopian Ahmad
Published: November 2020

Social transformation and education can not be avoided, there are changes that are fast and some are slow. Two factors that make the change come from within the community itself and some from outside. What comes from the community are population growth, relations with other cultures, new discoveries, technology and so on. While from the outside is the surrounding environment, the influence of other cultures and so on.Social transformation and educational is planned and some unplanned. The planned changes will be carried out by the agent of change to obtain the desired conditions of the agent of change. Agents of change for example education, government, companies, development and so on.Every time a transformation occurs, the community will try to adjust to these changes. But if a society is closed from transformation or rejected, there will be cultural backwardness

Aim and Objectives To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices towards antibiotic use among patients attending a tertiary referral urology unit in south Trinidad. We aimed to investigate the general level of awareness of antibiotics as well as identify patterns of antibiotic misuse which could potentially lead to antibiotic resistance. Results 150 patients were evaluated. Most patients (75.5%) were aware that antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. 57.9% also believed that antibiotics may be used to treat viral infections. 48.4% were aware of the potential deleterious effects of antibiotics on the body’s normal flora while 78% were aware of the concept of antibiotic resistance. 28.9% reported using antibiotics without a prescription. Overall, 23.3% reported having done so for a fever or cold while 12.6% did so for urinary symptoms. 68 persons (42.8%) stopped their antibiotics prior to completion of the course duration with most (76.5%) indicating that they did so because they felt better. Conclusion This study demonstrates that while most patients were aware of issues surrounding the use of antibiotics, a significant percentage still harboured several misconceptions. Also, high rates of self-medication with antibiotics were noted, among several worrying patterns of usage.
Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí 1384-1534 AD: Part II
Authors:   Fitzpatrick Clan Society, Fitzpatrick Mike
Published: November 2020

The starting place for Part II of Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí: 1384-1534 is Feartach, Cill Chainnigh (Fertagh, Co. Kilkenny) where a previously little known Mac Giolla Phádraig cleric, and unrecognised clann chieftain, was appointed Prior in 1506. There are many mysterious elements of Kilpatrick’s tomb at Gráinseach Feartach (Grangefeartach), which is said to be the final resting place of Brian na luireach and his son Seán, and a critical examination of the tomb cannot fail to lead to the inevitable question – is it not they, but others, who are buried there? In addition to the mysteries of Gráinseach Feartach, this article synthesises numerous entries in the Papal Registers, which provide clear evidence for a Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí clerical lineage that enjoyed power, wealth, and influence, both within and without the clann. The exploits of the clerics, their relationship to other clann members, and their associations with their neighbours, are presented against the backdrop of the political landscape around Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí country during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The key players from the House of Ormond, and the House of Kildare, and their networks with Mac Giolla Phádraig Osraí of the era provide new insights into the clann’s leadership and lineages, which are more complex and extensive than previously understood.

Control for the Space Tether System Motion
Authors: Zanardi Maria Cecilia , Prado Paola da Rosa , Baroni Leandro
Published: November 2020

This paper proposed a study of a spatial tether system (STS), composed by two satellite (a main satellite and a subsatellite), with the objective of developing a control system in which the motion of the subsatellite is limited in the orbital plane of the main satellite. The linear quadratic regulator (LQR) method is used to implement this control, which is an optimal control with state feedback to predict the linearization of the equations of motion to calculate the feedback gain, using the resolution of Riccati equation. The results show an effective control, with the motion of the subsatellite limited only to the stretch of the cable that links both satellites. However, it is necessary to introduce an auxiliary torque, since the linearized equation associated with the second variation of the angle out of the plan does not have a term independent of the state vector.
Preliminary Analysis of Solar Cell Interconnections Welding Parameters Using Design of Experiments for Future Optimization
Authors: Maia Graziela Fernanda de Souza , Souza Marcelo Lopes de Oliveira e , Brito Alírio Cavalcanti de
Published: November 2020

One of the processes that determine the reliability of solar panels used in space applications is the welding of interconnections between two adjacent solar cells. This process has various technologies, sequences and activities that have various characteristics, factors and parameters. Their combinations and values allow countless possibilities, making their adjustments time consuming, costly and exhausting. One way of abbreviating this, achieving competitiveness and meeting the needs of stakeholders is through the Analysis and Design of Experiments. This technique helps in optimizing the best adjustments to obtain the expected results. Thus, this paper presents a preliminary analysis of the parameters and their interactions of the welding process (by parallel-gap resistance welding) of interconnections between solar cells using design of experiments. In this welding process, the cell undergoes a certain level of degradation. For this reason, it is important to determine which process parameters are important and their proper levels, without big cell degradation. The result of this analysis can be used in the future to optimize the welding process meeting the design requirements for reliability and performance.

Annually, severe weather phenomena are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and tens of billions of dollars of damage around the world. In Brazil, unlike other hydrometeorological events, severe atmospheric events are random and, therefore, do not have a sociospatial pattern. Because of that, there is a significant motivation to improve the prediction techniques for this kind of events, using high resolution numerical models. A large amount of high-quality observational data is required, including lightning data in a very short-range. In addition, the detection of lightning flashes produced by storms is important for a wide variety of applications and in some areas of scientific research, which include the understanding of the human action on the climate and how the climate change can affect the behavior of storms in long range. One method to monitor the lightning flashes is the implementation of sensors in satellites to obtain data. In this sense, the objective of the RaioSat project is to develop national technology for detecting lightning flashes from the space, in order to complement the existing data from the ground detection network, BrasilDAT. The main objective of this article is to present a methodology for the development of the RaioSat mission including some parts of the preliminary design and operational modes. Additionally, the article describes the expected results and the continuity of the project and a preliminary analysis of a constellation for future projects.

Arden Student Skills: Language and Writing volumes offer a new type of study aid that combines lively critical insight with practical guidance on the writing skills you need to develop in order to engage fully with Shakespeare’s texts. The books’ core focus is on language: both understanding and enjoying Shakespeare’s complex dramatic language and expanding your own critical vocabulary as you respond to his plays. Each guide in the series will empower you to read and write about Shakespeare with increased confidence and enthusiasm.

This lively and informative guide to Shakespeare’s popular comedy equips you with the critical skills to analyse its language, structure and themes and to expand and enrich your own response to the play. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a perfect play for exploring Shakespeare’s diverse uses of language to reveal character and themes, from formal iambics and rhyming couplets of courtiers and lovers, and ‘warbling’ notes’ and nursery rhythms of fairies, to stocky prose by the artisan players including Bottom’s comic malapropisms.

An introduction considers when and how the play was written, and addresses the language with which Shakespeare created A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as the generic, literary and theatrical conventions at his disposal. It then moves to a detailed examination and analysis of the play, focusing on its literary, technical and historical intricacies, and its critical reception; an account of the play’s movie adaptations completes the volume. Each chapter offers a ‘Writing matters’ section, clearly linking the analysis of Shakespeare’s language to your own writing strategies in coursework and examinations.
The New Typography in Scandinavia
Authors: Klevgaard Trond
Published: November 2020

This is the first monograph on Scandinavia's 'new typography'. It provides a detailed account of the movement’s lifespan in the region from the 1920s up until the 1940s, when it was largely incorporated into mainstream practice.

The book begins by tracing how new typography, from its origins in the central and eastern European avant-garde, arrived in Scandinavia. It considers the movement’s transformative impact on printing, detailing the cultural and technological reasons why its ability to act as a modernising force varied between different professional groups. The last two chapters look at how New Typography related to Scandinavian society more widely by looking at its ties to functionalism and social democracy, paving the way for a discussion of the reciprocal relationship between the culture of practitioners and the cultural work performed through their practice.

Based on archival research undertaken at a number of Scandinavian institutions, the book brings a wealth of previously unpublished visual material to light and provides a fresh perspective on a movement of central and enduring importance to graphic design history and practice.
Performance Drawing
Authors: Foá Maryclare , Grisewood Jane , Hosea Birgitta , McCall Carali
Published: November 2020

What is ‘performance drawing’? When does a drawing turn into a performance? Is the act of drawing in itself a performative process, whether a viewer is present or not? Through conversation, interviews and essays, the authors illuminate these questions, and what it might mean to perform, and what it might mean to draw, in a diverse and expressive contemporary practice since the 1960s. The term ‘performance drawing’ refers to Drawing Papers: Performance Drawings by Catherine de Zegher (2001), with origins in live works decades earlier. In this book, it is used as a trope, and a thread of thinking, to describe a process dedicated to broadening the field of drawing through resourceful practices and cross-disciplinary influence.

The introduction presents a brief historical background and outlines approaches to performance drawing. As a way to embrace the different voices and various lenses in producing this book, each author reveals their individual perspectives and critical methodology in the five chapters. While embedded in ephemerality and immediacy, the themes encompass body and energy, time and motion, light and space, imagined and observed, demonstrating how drawing can act as a performative tool. The dynamic interaction leads to a collective understanding of the term, performance drawing, and addresses the key developments and future directions of this applied drawing process.

Featuring a wide range of international artists, the acclaimed practitioners from the 1960s, such as Alison Knowles, Carolee Schneemann, Richard Long, Robert Morris, Tom Marioni, Trisha Brown and William Kentridge, have been instrumental in instituting and exposing the relationship between drawing and performing. This book provides the foundation behind these pioneers, alongside a platform for current and emerging artists, and for those working between the boundaries of the genre. Merging experiences and disciplines in the expanded field has established a vibrant art movement that has been progressively burgeoning in the last few years.
Fat on Film
Authors: Plotz Barbara
Published: November 2020

Over the last two decades, fatness has become the focus of ubiquitous negative rhetoric, in the USA and beyond, presented under the cover of the medicalized ‘‘war against the obesity epidemic’’. This book provides a critical analysis of the cinematic representation of fatness during this timeframe, specifically in contemporary Hollywood cinema, with emphasis on the intersection of gender, race and fatness. The analysis is based on around 50 films released since 2000 and includes examples such as Transformers, Precious, Kung Fu Panda, Paul Blart and Pitch Perfect. Barbara Plotz provides a mapping of the common cinematic tropes of fatness and also shows how commonplace notions of fatness that are part of the current ‘‘obesity epidemic’’ discourse are reflected in these tropes. In this original study Plotz brings critical attention to the politics of fat representation, a topic that has so far received little attention within film and cinema studies.
Are You Not Entertained?
Authors: Steenberg Lindsay
Published: November 2020

Anglo-American culture is marked by a gladiatorial impulse: a deep cultural fascination in watching men fight each other. The gladiator is an archetypal character embodying this impulse and his brand of violent and eroticised masculinity has become a cultural shorthand that signals a transhistorical version of heroic masculinity.

Frequently the gladiator or celebrity fighter – from the amphitheatres of Rome to the octagon of the Ultimate Fighting Championships – is used as a way of insisting that a desire to fight, and to watch men fighting, is simply a part of our human nature. This book traces a cultural interest in stories about gladiators through twentieth and twenty-first-century film, television and videogames.
Poetics of Deconstruction
Authors: Turner Lynn
Published: November 2020

This book brings the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, especially his late work on the animal question as the heart of ethical possibility, into dialogue with continental feminist philosophy. This dialogue puts pressure on Derrida’s affirmation that animal and sexual differences breach the idealised masculine figure of the human, and draws out specific feminist questions: sometimes hospitable to deconstruction and sometimes antipathetic.

Héléne Cixous and Donna Haraway are both seen to develop theoretical work in parallel with Derrida, albeit with greater explicit engagement with feminism or, in the case of Haraway as a philosopher of science, stemming from a contrasting theoretical base. Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva are shown to diverge from deconstruction in different ways: Irigaray sometimes presents an ‘undeconstructible’ concept of the feminine; Kristeva requires the rejection of animality as inherent to human subjectivity.

Exposing Deconstructions draws its argument from contemporary case studies: independent or artist-made films, stills of which accompany the argument. It thus takes seriously the notion that deconstruction should never be reduced to a rigid methodology to be bluntly applied to anything. Rather, deconstruction takes account of the idiosyncrasies of each singular text, giving in-depth analysis to both narrative and poetic form.

The book enables complex reflection on concepts seemingly already at home in feminist theory and the humanities more broadly, but which are shown to benefit from, even if challenged by, this timely exposure to deconstruction and animal studies.
The Late Foucault
Authors: Faustino Marta , Hadot Pierre , Kotva Simone , Ferraro Gianfranco
Published: November 2020

Michel Foucault is one of the most important and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century and one of the leading figures in contemporary Western intellectual life and debate. The recent publication of his last lecture courses at the Collège de France (1981–1984), together with the short texts, essays, and interviews from the same period, have sparked new interest in his work, allowing for a new understanding of his philosophical trajectory and challenging several interpretations produced over the last few decades.

In this later phase of his thinking, Foucault deepens and expands the course of his preceding works on the genealogy of subjectivity, while at the same time adding a significant ethical and political dimension to it. His focus on the ancient ethics of care of the self and technologies of self-constitution during this period adds important nuances to his previous positions on power, truth, and subjectivity, shedding new light on his philosophical endeavour as a whole and situating his reflections at the centre of current moral debates.

Focusing on the last stage of Foucault’s thought, this book brings together international scholars to relaunch the critical debate on the significance of Foucault’s so-called “ethical turn” and to discuss the ways in which the perspectives offered by Foucault in this period might help us to unravel modernity, giving us the tools to understand and transform our present, ethically and politically.
The British Film Industry in 25 Careers
Authors: Macnab Geoffrey
Published: November 2020

The British Film Industry in 25 Careers tells the history of the British film industry from an unusual perspective – that of various mavericks, visionaries and outsiders who, often against considerable odds, have become successful producers, distributors, writers, directors, editors, props masters, publicists, special effects technicians, talent scouts, stars and, sometimes, even moguls. Some, such as Richard Attenborough and David Puttnam, are well-known names. Others, such as the screenwriter and editor Alma Reville, also known as Mrs Alfred Hitchcock; Constance Smith, the ‘lost star’ of British cinema, or the producer Betty Box and her director sister Muriel, are far less well known. What they all have in common, though, is that they found their own pathways into the British film business, overcoming barriers of nationality, race, class and gender to do so.

Counterpointing the essays on historical figures are interviews with contemporaries including the director Amma Asante, the writer and filmmaker Julian Fellowes, artist and director Isaac Julien, novelist and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi, and media entrepreneur Efe Cakarel, founder of the online film platform MUBI, who’ve come into today’s industry, adjusting to an era in which production and releasing models are changing – and in which films are distributed digitally as well as theatrically.

Antarctica, Art and Archive
Authors: Gould Polly
Published: November 2020

Antarctica, that icy wasteland and extreme environment at the ends of the earth, was - at the beginning of the 20th century - the last frontier of Victorian imperialism, a territory subjected to heroic and sometimes desperate exploration. Now, at the start of the 21st century, Antarctica is the vulnerable landscape behind iconic images of climate change. In this genre-crossing narrative Gould takes us on a journey to the South Pole, through art and archive.

Through the life and tragic death of Edward Wilson, polar explorer, doctor, scientist and artist, and his watercolours, and through the work of a pioneer of modern anthropology and opponent of scientific racism, Franz Boas, Gould exposes the legacies of colonialism and racial and gendered identities of the time. Antarctica, the White Continent, far from being a blank - and white - canvas, is revealed to be full of colour. Gould argues that the medium matters and that the practices of observation in art, anthropology and science determine how we see and what we know. Stories of exploration and open-air watercolour painting, of weather experiments and ethnographic collecting, of evolution and extinction, are interwoven to raise important questions for our times. Revisiting Antarctica through the archive becomes the urgent endeavour to imagine an inhabitable planetary future.
Johann Bernhard Basedow and the Transformation of Modern Education
Authors: Louden Robert B.
Published: November 2020

Best known for the progressive school he founded in Dessau during the 18th century, Johann Bernhard Basedow was a central thinker in the German Enlightenment. Since his death in 1790 a substantial body of German-language literature about his life, work, and school (the Philanthropin) has developed. In the first English intellectual biography of this influential figure, Robert B. Louden answers questions that continue to surround Basedow and provides a much-needed examination of Basedow’s intellectual legacy.

Assessing the impact of his ideas and theories on subsequent educational movements, Louden argues that Basedow is the unacknowledged father of the progressive education movement. He unravels several paradoxes surrounding the Philanthropin to help understand why it was described by Immanuel Kant as “the greatest phenomenon which has appeared in this century for the perfection of humanity”, despite its brief and stormy existence, its low enrollment and insufficient funding.

Among the many neglected stories Louden tells is the enormous and unacknowledged debt that Kant owes to Basedow in his philosophy of education, history, and religion. This is a positive reassessment of Basedow and his difficult personality that leads to a reevaluation of the originality of major figures as well as a reconsideration of the significance of allegedly minor authors who have been eclipsed by the politics of historiography. For anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the history of German philosophy, Louden’s book is essential reading.
Irma Stern and the Racial Paradox of South African Modern Art
Authors: Berger LaNitra M.
Published: November 2020

South African artist Irma Stern (1894–1966) is one of the nation’s most enigmatic modern figures—Stern held conservative political positions on race even as her subjects openly challenged racism and later the apartheid regime. Using paintings, archival research, and new interviews, this book explores how Stern became South Africa’s most prolific painter of black, Jewish, and coloured (mixed-race) life while maintaining controversial positions on race.

Through her art, Stern played a crucial role in both the development of modernism in South Africa and in defining modernism as a global movement. Spanning the Boer War to Nazi Germany to apartheid South Africa and into the contemporary #RhodesMustFall movement, Irma Stern’s work documents important twentieth-century cultural and political moments. More than 50 years after her death, Stern’s legacy challenges assumptions about race, gender roles, and religious identity and how they are represented in art history.
Post-Traumatic Art in the City
Authors: de le Court Isabelle
Published: November 2020

Post-Traumatic Art in the City comprises an original analysis of the nexus of war, art and urban society in two specific contexts: late 20th-century Beirut and Sarajevo. With an emphasis on conceptions of the 'post-traumatic', De le Court explores how cities and art are mutually formative in war and post-war contexts, providing unique insight into the politically and psychologically driven art scenes from within the works of art themselves. Grounded in close analyses and new research, the book makes an important contribution to the fields of art history and trauma studies.
A Critical Companion to the American Stage Musical
Authors: Wollman Elizabeth L.
Published: November 2020

This Critical Companion to the American Stage Musical provides the perfect introductory text for students of theatre, music and cultural studies. It traces the history and development of the industry and art form in America with a particular focus on its artistic and commercial development in New York City from the early 20th century to the present. Emphasis is placed on commercial, artistic and cultural events that influenced the Broadway musical for an ever-renewing, increasingly broad and diverse audience: the Gilded Age, the Great Depression, the World War II era, the British invasion in the 1980s and the media age at the turn of the twenty-first century.

Supplementary essays by leading scholars provide detailed focus on the American musical's production and preservation, as well as its influence on daily life on the local, national, and international levels. For students, these essays provide models of varying approaches and interpretation, equipping them with the skills and understanding to develop their own analysis of key productions.
Rethinking the Theatre of the Absurd
Authors: Lavery Carl , Finburgh Clare
Published: November 2020

Rethinking the Theatre of the Absurd is an innovative collection of essays, written by leading scholars in the fields of theatre, performance and eco-criticism, which reconfigures absurdist theatre through the optics of ecology and environment. As well as offering strikingly new interpretations of the work of canonical playwrights such as Beckett, Genet, Ionesco, Adamov, Albee, Kafka, Pinter, Shephard and Churchill, the book playfully mimics the structure of Martin Esslin's classic text The Theatre of the Absurd, which is commonly recognised as one of the most important scholarly publications of the 20th century. By reading absurdist drama, for the first time, as an emergent form of ecological theatre, Rethinking the Theatre of the Absurd interrogates afresh the very meaning of absurdism for 21st-century audiences, while at the same time making a significant contribution to the development of theatre and performance studies as a whole.

The collection's interdisciplinary approach, accessibility, and ecological focus will appeal to students and academics in a number of different fields, including theatre, performance, English, French, geography and philosophy. It will also have a major impact on the new cross disciplinary paradigm of eco-criticism.
The Theatre of Eugene O’Neill
Authors: Eisen Kurt
Published: November 2020

The Theatre of Eugene O’Neill offers a new comprehensive overview of O’Neill’s career and plays in the context of the American theatre. Organised thematically, it considers his modernist intervention in the theatre, offers readers detailed analysis of the plays, and assesses the recent resurgence in his reputation and new approaches to staging his work. It includes a study of all his major plays - The Emperor Jones, The Hairy Ape, The Iceman Cometh, Long Day’s Journey Into Night, A Moon for the Misbegotten and Desire Under the Elms - besides numerous other full length and one act dramas.

Eugene O’Neill is generally credited with inventing modern American drama, in a time of cultural ferment and lively artistic and intellectual change. Yet O’Neill’s theatrical instincts were always shaped by American stage traditions that were inextricable from his sense of himself and his own national culture. This study shows that his theatrical modernism represents not so much a break from these traditions as a reinvention of their scope and significance in the context of international stage modernism, offering an image of national culture and character that opens new possibilities for the stage while remaining rooted in its past.

Kurt Eisen traces O'Neill's modernism throughout the dramatist’s work: his attempts to break from the themes, plots, and moral conventions of the traditional melodramatic theatre; his experiments in stagecraft and theme, and their connection to traditional theatre and his European modernist contemporaries; the turn toward direct and indirect self-representation; and his critique of the family and of American 'pipe dreams’ and the allure of success.

The volume additionally features four contributed essays providing further critical perspectives on O'Neill's work, alongside a chronology of the writer's life and times
Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening
Authors: Kramer Jonathan D.
Published: November 2020

Kramer was one of the most visionary musical thinkers of the second half of the 20th century. In his The Time of Music, he approached the idea of the many different ways that time itself is articulated musically. This book has become influential among composers, theorists, and aestheticians. Now, in his almost completed text written before his untimely death in 2004, he examines the concept of postmodernism in music. Kramer created a series of markers by which we can identify postmodern works. He suggests that the postmodern project actually creates a radically different relationship between the composer and listener. Written with wit, precision, and at times playfully subverting traditional tropes to make a very serious point about this difference, Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening leads us to a strongly grounded intellectual basis for stylistic description and an intuitive sensibility of what postmodernism in music entails.

Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening is an examination of how musical postmodernism is not just a style or movement, but a fundamental shift in the relationship between composer and listener. The result is a multifaceted and provocative look at a critical turning point in music history, one whose implications we are only just beginning to understand. - See more at: http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/postmodern-music-postmodern-listening-9781501306044/#sthash.vxYmlumU.dpuf
hood
Authors: Kinney Alison
Published: November 2020

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

We all wear hoods: the Grim Reaper, Red Riding Hood, torturers, executioners and the executed, athletes, laborers, anarchists, rappers, babies in onesies, and anyone who’s ever grabbed a hoodie on a chilly day. Alison Kinney’s Hood explores the material and symbolic vibrancy of this everyday garment and political semaphore, which often protects the powerful at the expense of the powerless—with deadly results. Kinney considers medieval clerics and the Klan, anti-hoodie campaigns and the Hooded Man of Abu Ghraib, the Inquisition and the murder of Trayvon Martin, uncovering both the hooded perpetrators of violence and the hooded victims in their sights.

Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
