Consideraţii privind evacuarea trupelor române participante la Campania din Bulgaria din vara anului 1913
Authors:   Universitatea Națională de Apărare „Carol I”, NICULAE Daniel Silviu
Published: January 2023

"The purpose of this article is to highlight the aspects of the evacuation operations from Bulgaria, executed by the Romanian troops participating in the military campaign in the summer of 1913, a chapter of the national military history less researched. The article is based on the documents studied in the national archives. In the summer of 1913, in the face of an unstable Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece decided to conclude a defensive alliance, a process completed on 19 May/1 June 1913, which aimed to establish their own interests in Macedonia against the Bulgarian ones. Moreover, to the tensions between the former Balkan allies were added the armed incidents near the outposts of the three armies that had the mission of preserving the conquered positions. In this context, Romania’s position became a very important one, in relation to the obligations assumed by the treaties concluded at international level, which is why Romania had to make a decision regarding the participation in the ongoing war."
The Strategic Nuclear Treaty Regime at a Crossroads. The (Im)Possible Search for a New Point of Balance?
Authors:   ", MARINOV Mario ,   University of Library Studies and Information Technologies Sofia, Bulgaria"
Published: January 2023

"The qualitative and quantitative balance in strategic nuclear capabilities between major global nuclear-armed states had been the subject of a longstanding international bilateral and multilateral treaty regime, which since the onset of the 21st century has undergone a process of continual degradation. With the gradual establishment of a more confrontational multipolar world order, the treaty regime as well as the guarantees it provided for international security have come into further peril. The present paper will examine the defining characteristics of the nuclear treaty regime, the factors leading to a point of balance in preceding decades between the nuclear superpowers of the United States of America and the Russian Federation, and the transformational factors, which have destabilised the balance in contemporary times. Furthermore, the paper will extend the discussion on the future of nuclear arms control to the changing geopolitical landscape and the rise of new major global powers such as the People’s Republic of China. Ultimately the paper, attempts to establish the framework of the future evolution of the nuclear arms debate and the possibilities of reaching a new point of stability and deterrence between the mentioned state actors."
The Strategic Compass – A Strategic Boost of Confidence in European Security
Authors:   International Relations and European Studies Department, Faculty of Communication Studies and International Relations, “Titu Maiorescu” University,, BRÂNDA Oana-Elena
Published: January 2023

"Issued in March 2022, the Strategic Compass is meant to create an active and, at the same time, reactive framework on the managing of EU security and defence related aspects. After several failures in the process and much criticism on EU’s inability to stand on its feet when it comes to protecting itself, the Strategic Compass comes with magic words, such as “reducing dependencies”, or the four directions – Act, Secure, Invest and Partner. The aim of this article is to provide a critical analysis of the Strategic Compass from the perspective of the confidence bestowed in the power of the European Union to actually become a security provider “for real”. Although the likelihood of that occurring in the near future is remote, the European Union has finally reached the mindset of turning the Strategic Compass into on the ground capabilities."
The Impact of the Conflict in Ukraine on the Development of the Higher University Military Education Process – Adapting Maritime Operational Art to the Dynamics of Modern Military Actions –
Authors:   “Carol I” National Defence University, SCIPANOV Lucian Valeriu
Published: January 2023

"Observing the evolution of military actions in the Ukraine conflict, one feels the need to capitalise on the lessons identified as a result of the innovative ways of applying the principles of military art, in the conditions of real war. Thus, within this approach, I set out to identify how the evolution of the conflict in Ukraine influenced military art in general. In essence, this approach is a corollary of the results obtained as a personal contribution to the development of knowledge in the field of military sciences. Analysing the existing situation, following evaluations of the potential national response capabilities in the event of an armed conflict in the vicinity of the Black Sea, I identified didactic ways to update the doctrinal contents. The didactic approach was based on the handiest research validation tool, the war game, by testing some tactical scenarios, experienced in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. From a didactic point of view, the result was useful for updating the analytical programs in the master’s degree programs, however, the benefit from this research comes from the action-structural field, regarding the ways of responding in the maritime environment with existing capabilities or identifying the capability requirements, emphasising the importance of military services and branches cooperation during the joint coastal defence operation."
The Importance of the Economic Field in Modern Political Warfare. Case Study: NATO Eastern Flank Member States
Authors:   Regional Department of Defence Resources Management Studies, National Defence University “Carol I”, DUMITRACHE Vlad , COZMEI Andreea Ștefania ,   National University of Political Studies and Public Administration
Published: January 2023

"The aim of this paper is to present the importance that the economic field has in the concept of modern political warfare. Correlating the economic field with that of geopolitics and security has become a variable that NATO member states can no longer ignore. Using the descriptive analysis method, we aim to show the importance that economic policies have in influencing the political and strategic regional landscape, and have chosen the Eastern Flank countries to do that. We plan to test this theory by studying three major areas in economic policies that we consider have impacted the security and defence landscape in recent years. The first area is defence expenditure, the second one is fiscal policies and the third one is energy policies. Recent security events have fundamentally changed the European Union green energy policies and objectives. Some of them have been postponed, others replaced, therefore, we seek to analyse the way in which European states on the Eastern Flank mitigate through these rising issues, in terms of both the energy field and the correlation of energy policies with the other ones."
Thermal free-surface immersed-boundary lattice Boltzmann method for free surface flows with a liquid-solid phase transition
Authors: Badarch Ayurzana , Hosoyamada Tokuzo
Published: January 2023

This paper reports on the progress of the liquid-solid phase transition modeling of water in open channel flow by using the lattice Boltzmann method with the immersed boundary modification. The phase transition in a fluid flow has a moving interface between the liquid and solid state, which leads complicated treatments in existing numerical models. By applying the immersed boundary modification in the lattice Boltzmann method and the non-iterative enthalpy approach for the separation of the states, the moving boundary of the melting or solidification front is solved without any difficulty. The ice bed and the submerged ice cover under dynamic flow conditions is exercised to demonstrate the model performance. The model is extremely suitable in the formulation in terms of its simple and compact framework extendable to any dimensions.
Study on Ni/ZrO2 catalyst preparation
Authors: Dashnamjil Uyanga , Bold Tungalagtamir , Erdenee Enkhtsetseg
Published: January 2023

In this work, the influence of catalyst preparation temperature on its structure was investigated. We have synthesized 12 different Ni/ZrO2 catalysts by varying the calcination temperature, time, and active metal content, and these catalysts will be further used in the carbon dioxide methanation reaction. Structure and properties of the catalysts were determined using XRD and SEM analysis. Therefore, Ni content of the catalysts were measured by ICP-OES.Regarding to the crystal size calculation using XRD data by Scherer equation, when calcination time was increased the average crystal size of nickel oxide was decreased from 42.38 nm to 38.93 nm whereas it decreased to 39.23 nm when the calcination temperature was increased. This shows that the distribution of active metals in the catalyst increases when the heat treatment parameters are increased. In addition, it can be assumed that the activity of the catalyst can be enhanced when the calcination temperature and time were increases.
Antiproton impact ionization of hydrogen atom: Differential cross sections computed by Coulomb wave function discrete variable representation method
Authors: Gombosuren Zorigt , Chuluunbaatar Aldarmaa , Lochin Khenmedekh , Oidov Lkhagva , Erdenebayar Khatanbold
Published: January 2023

Our aim is using the Coulomb wave function discrete variable representation method (CWDVR) for the calculation of collision problem in first time. Nonrelativistic collision of antiproton with hydrogen atom is described by solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation numerically. Two collision amplitudes are used for calculation of the differential cross sections, one of them corresponds to impact parameter of the projectile while other one is determined by projectile momentum transfer and found by Fourier transform of the first one. The ionization amplitude calculated by projecting of the wave function onto continuum wave function of the ejected electron. The differential cross sections calculated depending on projectile impact energy, scattering angle and electron ejection energy and angles, which is a result that can be measured experimentally. Our results are in good agreement with the relativistic calculation results.

Published: January 2023

Genomic DNA was extracted from tissue specimens of wild boars (Sus scrofa) in 10 different locations Mongolia. D-loop part of genome was amplified by PCR and was subjected to DNA sequencing. Determined sequences from 18 specimens were registered with the GenBank and accession numbers were obtained. A total of 54 complete mitochondrial D-loop sequences of wild boars available with NCBI GenBank were taken as a reference for comparison with that of Mongolian wild boars. Sequence alignment, detection of parsimonious informative sites, model selection, calculation of nucleotide distances, and Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic tree construction with 1000 bootstrapped replications were conducted using MEGA X software. Maximum Likelihood trees were constructed by the Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano (HKY) model. The results of the study showed that geographic location played an important role in sequence divergence between wild boars from various locations. Most of them were grouped together according to their respective geographic locations, except for several individuals. It is highly likely that the Mongolian subpopulation of wild boars, such as S. scrofa raddianus and S. scrofa nigripes, have had the same ancestor. In order to fully evaluate the distribution, ecology, and biology of Mongolian wild boars, it is essential to compare supplemental gene sequences that can reveal phylogenetic differences from the populations in the neighboring areas, such as Russia, northeast China, and Kazakhstan. The results of this study will be useful and informative for the protecting and conserving of wild boars in Mongolia.

Authors: Goldin Philippe R. , Braun Amy , Ekman Eve , Simons Vanessa , Flora Tamara , Easton Chandra , Allione Tsultrim
Published: January 2023

Objectives: To investigate outcomes and predictors of a Tibetan Buddhist meditation process called Feeding Your Demons® (FYD) vs. a waitlist (WL) control group of meditation practitioners with moderate depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Methods: 61 meditators (70% female; mean age = 44.05, SD = 11.20; 43.5% White, 39% Asian, 9.3% Hispanic, 8.3% other) were randomly assigned to 1-month of FYD practice or WL groups. Participants completed self-report assessments at baseline and post-FYD/WL. Results: Intention-to-treat analysis found that, compared to WL, FYD yielded significantly greater decreases in stress symptoms and increases in self-compassion. Moderator analyses showed baseline lesser history of psychiatric problems (but not number of years of meditation practice) predicted greater reduction in depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Regression analyses found that the number of FYD sessions completed predicted post-FYD increases in self-compassion and satisfaction with life, as well as decreases in stress, depression, and intolerance for uncertainty. Conclusions: FYD practice may enhance multiple facets of psychological health in adults in a dose dependent manner. An RCT with an active comparison training is necessary to determine the specificity of FYD related effects and to identify mechanisms of change.
Mind the Gap? Emotion Regulation Ability and Achievement in Psychological Health Disorders
Authors: Gruber June , Hagerty Sarah , Mennin Douglas , Gross James J.
Published: January 2023

Why do so many people fail to manage their emotions successfully even though they can do so? This review begins by noting a surprising gap between emotion regulation ability and achievement  apparent across individuals with emotional disorders, many of whom appear to be able to effectively regulate emotions when cued. Recently, clinical science has begun to take stock of this puzzling gap between intact emotion regulation ability and challenges with emotion regulation achievement. We refer to this as the ‘emotion regulation ability-achievement’ (or ER-AA) gap, and discuss clinical implications, including alternative approaches to closing this gap.

Authors: Neumann Dawn , Backhaus Samantha Backhaus , Jang Jeong , Bhamadipalli Sruthi , Winegardner Jill , Helton Beth , Hammond Flora
Published: January 2023

Objectives: Explore the early efficacy of a treatment to modify anger, aggression, negative attributions, and perspective-taking in participants with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Design:  Randomized waitlist-controlled trial. Participants: Twenty-four adults with a TBI (³ 1-year post-injury) who had above average aggression and either negative attribution bias or poor perspective-taking. Intervention: Intervention to Change Attributions that are Negative (ICAN). Measures: Epps Scenarios (attributions of intent, hostility, blame; anger and aggression responses); Aggression Questionnaire (AQ); PROMIS-Anger; Interpersonal Reactivity Index Perspective-taking; and Participant Global Impression of Change (PGIC) for anger and perspective-taking. Results: Twenty-one participants completed the study (ICAN = 8; Waitlist control [WLC] = 13).  Post-treatment, ICAN participants had lower anger responses to Epps Scenarios (p = 0.03) compared to WLC participants who had not yet received treatment. Other between-group comparisons were not significant. Analyses comparing pre/post-intervention changes in the pooled sample (n=21), revealed reduced attributions of intent (p < 0.01) and blame (p = 0.05), and anger (p = 0.01) and aggression responses to Epps scenarios (p < 0.01) after receiving treatment. Post-intervention scores on the AQ and PROMIS-Anger were also significantly reduced (p < 0.01). On the PGIC, 83% and 45% reported noticeable changes in perspective-taking and anger, respectively. Discussion: ICAN may reduce anger and negative attributions after TBI and merits further investigation.

Published: January 2023

Wkraczające obecnie na rynek pracy pokolenie Z jest pierwszym wychowanym w scyfryzowanym świecie. Nieustanny dostęp do nowoczesnych technologii i sieci podczas okresu adolescencji zmienił zarówno podejście oraz oczekiwania względem pracy osób urodzonych po 1996 roku, jak też ich hierarchię wartości oraz sposób postrzegania niektórych zjawisk. Celem artykułu było zredefiniowanie terminu „autorytet” względem pojmowania go przez przedstawicieli pokolenia Z w odniesieniu do postępującej cyfryzacji, tak by możliwe było wskazanie przyszłych tendencji na rynku pracy. Wielowymiarowość autorytetu, wpływająca na rekomendacje dla zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi, została przedstawiona na podstawie wyników badań przeprowadzonych metodą desk research, opartych na literaturze przedmiotu, oraz sondażu diagnostycznego zrealizowanych w formie kwestionariusza ankiety, a także na obserwacjach własnych autorki. Empiryczna część artykułu stanowi podstawę do stworzenia założeń koncepcji autorytetu 2.0 – wprowadzoną po raz pierwszy w prezentowanym artykule.
Oczekiwania pracowników wielopokoleniowego zespołu wobec kompetencji menedżerów w dobie cyfryzacji
Authors: Skowronek Aleksandra
Published: January 2023

Dynamiczna i wciąż zmieniająca się rzeczywistość kreuje nowe środowiska pracy. Cyfryzacja, będąca kluczowym obszarem w transformacji gospodarczej, wymusza na przedsiębiorstwach dostosowanie się do turbulentnego otoczenia, określając zmiany wynikające, na przykład, z powszechnego dostępu do internetu. Zmiany te wprost przekładają się na obszary związane z zarządzaniem czy rozwojem pracowników. Kształtują się nowe potrzeby rozwojowe pracowników oraz inne, uzależnione od wieku pracowników oczekiwania co do kompetencji menedżera.
Jednym z najważniejszych wyzwań menedżerów XXI wieku jest, z jednej strony – pogodzenie różnic umiejętności i oczekiwań pracowników (nierzadko przedstawicieli różnych grup wiekowych), a z drugiej – dbałość o rozwój własnych kompetencji i umiejętności elastycznego dopasowania się do wielopokoleniowych zespołów.
Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badania dotyczącego rozpoznania oczekiwań pracowników w wielopokoleniowym zespole co do kompetencji menedżerskich ich przełożonych. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone w przedsiębiorstwie informatycznym i miało na celu zweryfikowanie, czy różnice pokoleniowe w zespole determinują różne oczekiwania pracowników oraz jakich kompetencji będzie wymagał pracownik od swojego menedżera w świecie wirtualnym, do którego obecnie – w związku z tworzeniem się zespołów wirtualnych czy hybrydowych – jest przenoszona ich relacja. Analiza badania wskazuje na zróżnicowany poziom oczekiwań kompetencyjnych pracowników względem menedżera oraz że oczekiwania te są inne dla przedstawicieli różnych pokoleń.

Celem tego artykułu było zaprezentowanie motywów podejmowania pracy na zagranicznych uczelniach przez ekspatriantów akademickich. Badania jakościowe w formie wywiadów przeprowadzono z 13 naukowcami pracującymi w zagranicznych uczelniach w latach 2021–2022. Według respondentów o pracy w zagranicznej uczelni zdecydowały rekomendacja i wsparcie znanego profesora, z którym wcześniej współpracowali, a także sieć relacji naukowych. Praca za granicą jest traktowana jako szansa rozwoju oraz dostęp do zasobów, odmiennych stylów pracy i warsztatów metodycznych. Akademicy cenią sobie autonomię, zaufanie, jakimi obdarzają ich uniwersytety zagraniczne. Ekspaci akademiccy są architektami swojej ścieżki naukowej, nie rezygnują przy tym z chęci eksplorowania świata i kultury kraju goszczącego
Niepełnosprawność jako czasownik. O wychodzeniu poza naturę uszkodzenia i kulturę niepełnosprawności
Authors: Chutorański Maksymilian
Published: January 2023

Główną tezą tekstu jest twierdzenie, że niepełnosprawność jest wykonywana – stabilizowana i destabilizowana – w ramach układów ludzi i nie-ludzi. W pierwszej kolejności zwrócono uwagę na dystynkcję między naturą i kulturą, która organizuje myślenie dominujących podejść do niepełnosprawności („model medyczny” vs. „modele kulturowe”). Wskazano, że to nowoczesne (Latour) założenie nie jest konieczne. Następnie odwołano się do wybranych wątków posthumanizmu, nowego materializmu i teorii aktora-s+ieci, które są kluczowe w prezentowanym tu czasownikowym podejściu. W dalszym ciągu argumentowano, że niepełnosprawność jest wykonywana w ramach heterogenicznych układów ludzi i nie-ludzi.
W kierunku „trans-” i „postczłowieka”. Rozważania w kontekście pedagogiki specjalnej
Authors: Tomaszewska Renata
Published: January 2023

Rozwój transhumanizmu i posthumanizmu inspiruje i prowokuje do stawiania pytań i formułowania problemów ważnych dla pedagogiki oraz jej subdyscyplin – zwłaszcza pedagogiki specjalnej. Idee konstytuujące oba te nurty skłaniają do refleksji na temat takich kategorii, jak „człowiek” i „człowieczeństwo”, w związku z podejmowanymi próbami położenia kresu wszelkim cierpieniom fizycznym i psychicznym, chorobom, ograniczeniom natury ludzkiej. Za pośrednictwem technologii GNR/GRIN trwa techniczna redefinicja ewolucji Homo sapiens, którą określa się „odczłowieczaniem”, „cyborgizacją”, a w efekcie której mielibyśmy osiągnąć wyższe stadia rozwoju, najpierw jako transludzie, a potem jako postludzie. Wybranym zagadnieniom w tym obszarze problemowym poświęcono ten artykuł.
Potencjał i sprawczość technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych w ograniczaniu stygmatu niepełnosprawności

Published: January 2023

Cyberprzestrzeń stała się jednym z ulubionych miejsc, w których toczy się ludzka egzysten-cja. Wiele badań wskazuje na to, że osoby z niepełnosprawnościami napotykają na liczne bariery w korzystaniu z technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych. Mają ograniczony do-stęp do nich lub też niewystarczające kompetencje cyfrowe, aby móc z nich bezpiecznie ko-rzystać i w pełni czerpać z ich bogactwa i zasobów (Chadwick, Chapman, Caton, 2019; Plichta 2017; Dobransky, Hargittai, 2006, 2016; Glencross, Mason, Katisikitis, Grenwood, 2021; Harb, Sidani, 2021; Kaur, Saukko, 2022). Fakt ten sprzyja wzrostowi tzw. nierówności czy też przepaści cyfrowej. Kwestia dostępności cyberprzestrzeni dla tej grupy społecznej powinna być uznana za istotną płaszczyznę zapobiegania jej wykluczeniu społecznemu.

Reflecting on Ancestral Tombs – Dei Sepolcri by Ugo Foscolo, Graves by Julian
Ursyn Niemcewicz and their provenance
Authors: Szadkowska-Mańkowska Olga
Published: January 2023

The article discusses the reception of the Polish translations of Ugo Foscolo’s work Dei Sepolcri.
Image of graves as the ruins of ancestors’ former glory frequently appeared in the literature
of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Nevertheless, the Italian context is crucial
for Foscolo’s work as it not only employs the theme of the tomb as a vehicle of memory,
but also addresses the issue of the possible unifi cation of the state, the idea that Poles could relate
to. In the Polish context, Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz’s adaptation of Foscolo’s poem is best known,
but there are other Polish renditions of this work, all of them credited to Vittorio Alfieri.
Silver Entrepreneurship as an Instrument for Activating Seniors on the Labor Market in Poland
Authors: Dereń Aldona Małgorzata , Skonieczny Jan
Published: January 2023

The current discourse on the professional activation of seniors is based on the “on the aging society” paradigm. The progressive aging of the population creates new challenges for socio–economic life. The negative phenomena of these changes are withdrawal from public life, loneliness, and even discrimination against seniors. Prevention of these phenomena is widely described in the literature, finding its expression in theories of withdrawal, activity, exchange, modernization, or in the theory of social competence and breaking away, for example. Without negating these theories and concepts, we propose a look at the activity of seniors through the paradigm of “extending human life,” which may actually mean their prolonged professional activity. Of course, this requires the reconstruction of the socio–economic model in both the micro and macro social dimensions with a view to adapting to the aging of society, its manifestations, and consequences. In the article, we present silver entrepreneurship as an instrument of professional activation of seniors that is aimed at the inclusion and utilization of the knowledge, potential, and experience of older people. We perceive the concept of silver entrepreneurship as a component of the theory of entrepreneurship, especially the shaping of the entrepreneurial attitudes and behaviors of seniors.
Generation Y Employee Career Engagement: Research Results for Poland and Germany
Authors: Bugaj Justyna M. , Budzanowska-Drzewiecka Małgorzata , Jędrzejczyk Paulina
Published: January 2023

Generation Y career development has been analyzed by both researchers and practitioners. It often necessitates determining the degree of employee engagement in different career behaviors. This can be measured using the Career Engagement Scale introduced by Hirschi in 2014. In the present study, the scale was used to determine the degree of career engagement among representatives of Generation Y from two culturally different markets (Poland and Germany) and to identify the potential differences in engagement relative to gender and country where the respondents build their careers. An online survey was conducted among a group of 772 Polish and German men and women for that purpose. The results demonstrated an average degree of career engagement among respondents, regardless of gender and country. However, there were differences with respect to various career–related behaviors, particularly in terms of (1) serious thinking about personal values, interests, abilities, and weaknesses, and (2) voluntarily participating in further education, training, or other activities in support of the career. Both males and females from Germany are more proactive in these areas as compared to respondents from Poland. The paper was prepared from the perspective of Management and Quality Sciences in the sub–discipline of Human Resource Management.
Groundwater potential assessment using remote sensing and GIS-based multi criteria analysis – the case of Montserrado County, Liberia
Authors: Paye Levi Nya , Appiah-Adjei Emmanuel K. , Kullie Anthony
Published: January 2023

Liberia is marked by poor and insufficient hydrogeological data due to limited studies coupled with years of civil instability. Although Montserrado County has abundant water resources, lack of adequate knowledge of the available water resources has led to unsustainable groundwater utilization as well as investment losses from drilling unsuccessful boreholes. This research therefore aims at blending remote sensing with GIS-based multicriteria analysis to delineate suitable groundwater potential zones. Remote sensing and conventional data were used to construct a groundwater potential zone (GWPZ) map by integrating lineament and drainage densities, geology, slope and elevation, soil, annual rainfall, land use land cover, and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) maps of the study area. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used in assigning weights to each thematic map, according to its influence on groundwater accumulation, for their integration. The results reveal that slope, lineament density, drainage density, geology, and land use land cover are parameters with the most influence (about 68%) on groundwater recharge within the area. The result also shows that about 10 %, 25 %, 30 %, 25 %, and 10 % of Montserrado County has very high, high, moderate, low zone, and very low groundwater potential zones, respectively. The study, therefore, provides very useful information that may guide the development and management of the groundwater resources within the study area.

CLARA Review: Brenda Longfellow & Molly Swetnam-Burland (eds), 2021: Women’s Lives, Women’s Voices. Roman Material Culture and Female Agency in the Bay of Naples. Austin: University of Texas Press
Authors: Lundgren Astri Karine
Published: January 2023

Editors Brenda Longfellow (University of Iowa) and Molly Swetnam-Burland (College of William & Mary) have previously published insightful work on ancient Roman art and monumental architecture, and the social history and material culture of Pompeii and Rome. In Women’s Lives, Women’s Voices. Roman Material Culture and Female Agency in the Bay of Naples they bring together fourteen leading specialists in a pathbreaking collection of essays that challenge us to rethink gender-based occupational stereotypes, Roman women’s identities and public participation in spheres exclusively associated with Roman elite men. By drawing on epigraphic, archaeological, art historical and architecturalevidence, the various authors investigate female agency with an emphasis on social engagement and the lived experiences of Roman women in the Bay of Naples. Women’s Lives, Women’s Voices adopts an interdisciplinary approach to research, covering a wide range of theoretical frameworks, methodological objectives and materials. Taken together, these innovative discussions challenge entrenched beliefs about women’s essential passivity and inactivity in Roman society by drawing attention to how women from different social backgrounds engaged with the local community through families, businesses and religious activity, and how they expressed their identities in the funerary realm. Challenging familiar elitist-classicist standards dominating past scholarship, this book pushes women’s and gender studies, feminist art history, urban materiality, women’s local involvement and daily lives into a new era of research.
Exploring the potential of DNA-based materials
Authors:   (EPFL), Bastings Maartje
Published: January 2023

Using DNA as a synthetic material offers the unique opportunity to precisely control the spacing of functional molecules like proteins or antibodies, which can help researchers gain a deeper understanding of cellular function and communication at the bio-interface. Researchers in the InActioN project are using DNA-based nanomaterials to investigate cellular activation mechanisms within the immune system, as Professor Maartje Bastings explains.

Bach’s 1717 Visit to Leipzig
Authors: Butler Lynn Edwards
Published: January 2023

Six years before he took up the position of Thomascantor and Director of Music in Leipzig, J. S. Bach came to Leipzig from Köthen to examine Johann Scheibe's newly completed organ in the St. Paul's Church at Leipzig University. This chapter briefly describes the city, the churches, and the organs Bach would have encountered and gotten to know for the first time during that visit in early December 1717, setting the scene for the detailed account of Scheibe's organ-building activities in Leipzig. During his tenure in Leipzig, Scheibe renovated, rebuilt, or replaced all of Leipzig's organs. For 25 years, Scheibe and Bach were colleagues.
Privilege, Complexity, and Women of Color in the United States
Authors: Kline Caroline
Published: January 2023

Chapter 3 examines the experiences of Mormon women of color in the United States. It argues that a dominant concern for these women is the rejection of oppressive relationships. These women have found within Mormonism, even with its gender complementarianism, resources for rejecting oppressive relationships and cultivate healthy ones. At the same time, their accounts reveal the ways white and class privilege characterize some teachings within the church. Thus, their oral narratives offer certain interventions in Mormon discourse about race and class, pointing to ways in which Mormon rhetoric could be more inclusive toward women of color. Finally, the chapter analyzes certain strategies that Mormon women of color in the United States employ as they negotiate belonging in their Mormon communities, such as religious ambivalence and personal revelation.
Conclusion
Authors: Kline Caroline
Published: January 2023

This chapter presents final reflections on the various themes that arise in the oral histories of women navigating their Mormon lives at the crossroads of race, class, gender, and culture, pointing to the ways their stories and perspectives can illuminate productive paths forward for the church as a whole. Specifically, it suggests that the church develop global training, resources, and treatment programs for survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, include local global communities in decision making processes when institutional changes are afoot that deeply affect global Mormons' lives, renew its commitment to church-sponsored schools in global communities, and amplify the wisdom of global women and women of color regarding the power of kinship and community outside the framework of the middle-class nuclear family.

Poor Farms and Health Care
Authors: Birk Megan
Published: January 2023

Poor farms employed doctors to serve the health care needs of residents. These professionals made regular trips to the institutions and were sometimes instrumental in recommending improvements for resident safety and comfort. Matrons and staff served as nurses except at those institutions that combined a public hospital with their poor farm, which was common in California. Use of the term infirmary indicated that counties believed health care was a paramount part of the institution. Health problems were frequently contributing causes to unemployment or homelessness, which then brought people to the institutions. Contagious diseases were a risk in institutions, but poor farms attempted to isolate those residents on separate floors, rooms, or sick houses.
Epilogue
Authors: Birk Megan
Published: January 2023

A small number of poor farms continued to operate as long-term care institutions into the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Others were sold and torn down, leaving abandoned buildings and cemeteries as forgotten sites of public history that communities are working to recover. The issues that created and sustained poor farms for decades have not been solved by new programs. Mental health resources, elder care, public health care, and resources for families to stay together while coping with poverty all remain social problems.
Lawrence, Massachusetts, and the 1912 Bread & Roses Strike at Street Level
Authors: Beauchesne Jim , Flynn Kathleen S. , Grabski Susan
Published: January 2023

The 1912 Bread & Roses Strike paralyzed Lawrence's textile manufacturing industry for nine weeks in the dead of winter. Organized by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), the strike is known for its multiethnic participation, the prominent role of women, and its challenge to the contemporary political climate, abysmal working conditions, and wage structure. Its successful resolution in March 1912 was a pivotal moment in early twentieth-century labor history. However, local officials suppressed this history for decades. This chapter explores the interpretive activities of two historical institutions, Lawrence Heritage State Park and Lawrence History Center, leading up to, during, and after the centennial anniversary in 2012 to place the strike in the city's recent collective memory.
Labor History and the National Park Service
Authors: Loomis Erik
Published: January 2023

This chapter explores the relationship between labor history and the public presentation of the past at U.S. National Park Service sites. It argues that while the Park Service has integrated labor history into its interpretation to a limited extent, particularly at Lowell National Historical Park, it remains a significantly under-told story. Sites such as the Ludlow Massacre and Triangle Fire deserve National Park status. Labor historians will have to lead the fight to preserve and commemorate these sites.
The Southern Tenant Farmers Museum and the Difficult History of Agricultural Organizing
Authors: Donaldson Rachel
Published: January 2023

This chapter analyzes the historic preservation of the Southern Tenant Farmers’ Union's original headquarters in Tyronza, Arkansas, and the site's subsequent development as a museum. Currently, the Southern Tenant Farmers Museum presents the union's formative years and the region’s sharecropping system more broadly. By exploring the difficulties public historians faced in establishing a museum rooted in the history of an extremely exploitative form of labor in a rural region and how these challenges shaped the interpretation presented in the museum, this chapter deepens our understanding of the public history of agricultural labor. Furthermore, it sheds light on the difficulties small communities face when attempting to grapple with their past.
