Escaping North Korea
Authors: Kim Mike
Published: March 2024

The first of its kind, this book provides a unique inside look into the hidden world of ordinary North Koreans. Mike Kim, who worked with refugees on the Chinese border for four years, recounts their experiences of enduring famine, sex-trafficking, and torture, as well as the inspirational stories of those who overcame tremendous adversity to escape the repressive regime of their homeland and make new lives.

One of the few Americans granted entry into the secretive "Hermit Kingdom," Kim came to know the isolated country and its people intimately. His North Korean friends entrusted their secrets to him as they revealed the government's brainwashing tactics and confessed their true thoughts about the repressive regime that so rigidly controls their lives. Civilians and soldiers alike spoke of what North Koreans think of Americans and war with America. Children remembered the suffering they endured through the famine. Women and girls recalled their horrific experiences at the hands of sex-traffickers. Former political prisoners shared their memories of beatings, torture, and executions in the gulags.

With the permission of these courageous individuals, Kim now shares their stories and recounts his dramatic experiences leading North Koreans to asylum through the six-thousand-mile modern-day underground railway through Asia. His unflinching narrative exposes the truth about North Korea, stripping away the last veils that still shroud this brutal dictatorship.
George Washington
Authors: Higginbotham Don
Published: March 2024

In 1776, thirteen colonies declared their independence from Britain. Although they came together to fight a war, the colonies were far from a unified nation. In George Washington: Uniting a Nation, Don Higginbotham argues that Washington's greatest contribution to American life was creating a sense of American unity. In clear and concise prose, Higginbotham shows that as Revolutionary War commander, proponent of the Constitution, and president, George Washington focused on building national identity and erecting institutions to cement the fledgling nation. The first book on Washington to examine exclusively his role in state formation, George Washington is essential reading for scholars, students, and everyone interested in America's first, and most formative, president.
James Madison Rules America
Authors: Connelly William F.
Published: March 2024

James Madison Rules America examines congressional party legislative and electoral strategy in the context of our constitutional separation of powers. In a departure from recent books that have described Congress as 'the broken branch' or the 'Second Civil War,' William Connelly argues that partisanship, polarization and the permanent campaign are an inevitable part of congressional politics. The strategic conundrum confronting both parties in the House of Representatives, whether to be part of the government or part of the opposition provides evidence of how concretely James Madison's Constitution governs the behavior of politicians to this day. Drawing on a two-hundred year debate within American political thought among the Federalists, Anti-Federalists, Alexis de Tocqueville and Woodrow Wilson, James Madison Rules America is as topical as current debates over partisan polarization and the permanent campaign, while being grounded in two enduring and important schools of thought within political science: pluralism and party government.

Satan in the Dance Hall
Authors: Giordano Ralph G
Published: March 2024

Satan in the Dance Hall explores the overwhelming popularity of social dancing and its close relationship to America''s rapidly changing society in the 1920s. The book focuses on the fiercely contested debate over the morality of social dancing in New York City, led by moral reformers and religious leaders like Rev. John Roach Straton. Fed by the firm belief that dancing was the leading cause of immorality in New York, Straton and his followers succeeded in enacting municipal regulations on social dancing and moral conduct within the more than 750 public dance halls in New York City.

Ralph G. Giordano conveys an easy to read and full picture of life in the Jazz Age, incorporating important events and personalities such as the Flu Epidemic, the Scopes Monkey Trial, Prohibition, Flappers, Gangsters, Texas Guinan, and Charles Lindbergh, while simultaneously describing how social dancing was a hugely prominent cultural phenomenon, one closely intertwined with nearly every aspect of American society from the Great War to the Great Depression. With a bibliography, an index, and over 35 photos, Satan in the Dance Hall presents an interdisciplinary study of social dancing in New York City throughout the decade.
Historical Dictionary of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation
Authors: Mullett Michael
Published: March 2024

The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century has traditionally been viewed as marking the onset of modernity in Europe. It finally broke up the federal Christendom of the middle ages, under the leadership of the papacy and substituted for it a continent of autonomous and national states, independent of Rome. The Historical Dictionary of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation provides a comprehensive account of two chains of events_the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation_that have left an enduring imprint on Europe, America, and the world at large. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on persons, places, countries, institutions, doctrines, ideas, and events.
Advantages of Evaluating Students by Means of Escape Rooms
Authors: Juan Roig Pedro , Alcaraz Salvador , Gilly Katja , Bernad Cristina , Juiz Carlos
Published: March 2024

Traditionally, a wide range of evaluation systems has been used to assess students in academic contexts. However, the adoption of an active learning paradigm allows to employ alternative tools to carry out evaluations, where educational escape rooms take a prominent place. In fact, such escape rooms engage students in a game-like environment where they get embedded. This way, they are faced with a series of tests in order to advance through the path within the escape room so as to finish the escape room as soon as possible with the aim of getting higher marks than their peers.

Crowd has been a normal thing particularly in big cities. This could lead to negative causes such as slower mobilization or social anxiety towards individuals. Ever since the pandemic of Covid-19 lands all over the world, the application of thermal censoring devices has been commonly encountered in public places. The most common use of thermal censors is to detect human body temperature. Therefore, this research is done to analyze the effectivity of thermal cameras on detecting crowd inside a building. By using surveys and literature reviews as our methods, the result of this research shows that from 30 survey respondents, with the average age of 17-25 years old that tends to do indoor activities, 55.6% of them find that crowd is affecting their efficiency during activities. Besides that, 66.7% respondents struggle to measure the crowd level inside a building, also 87.3% of them feels like there should be a solution to this problem. Thus, this research proves that the use of thermal censors on camera for crowd detection is very effective with the accuracy rate of 99%. In conclusion, thermal censor devices are effective to be used as crowd detection devices.

Communities in Jayapura use groundwater for their daily needs both from springs, dug wells and drilled wells. The research was conducted in the Sentani and surrounding areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical and chemical properties of groundwater based on laboratory tests. The physical and chemical properties of groundwater are one of the main properties of water and are very useful for determining the quality of groundwater. This study took three sampling locations with stratified random sampling method. The samples taken were springs, dug wells and drilled wells. The parameters of the physical properties of groundwater tested included pH, temperature ( T0C ), TDS, hardness ( CaCO3 ), while the parameters of the chemical properties of ground water tested included magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Sulfate (SO4), Chloride (Cl) and Bicarbonate (HCO3). In general, all samples analyzed from the study area showed that the levels of chemical elements in groundwater had not exceeded the drinking water standard limits, but there were locations that had high levels of magnesium, namely location 1 (Sosiri) of 149 mg/L. The results of the physical properties test showed that the test content value had not exceeded the drinking water standard limit, in the sense that the groundwater in the study area was suitable for use.

Published: March 2024

Though recent investigations have contributed substantially to our understanding of the Alpine-Dinaric radiation of the genus Zospeum Bourguignat, 1856, its southernmost member, Zospeum troglobalcanicum Absolon, 1916, has remained a taxonomic ghost. The assumed absence of type material, the insufficient original description, and the lack of new samples from its Western Balkan type locality have stymied further clarification. The recent discovery of a single syntype shell housed at the Natural History Museum Vienna now enables the first morphological assessment via 3D X-ray and SEM imaging. Based on this image data, different characters for assessing the southernmost members of the genus are determined and a lectotype is designated. Eleven allied species from 15 Western Balkan populations are described from museum material and recent sampling efforts: Z. amplioscutum Jochum & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. biokovoense Jochum & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. constrictum Jochum & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. dubokidoense Jochum & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. intermedium Jochum & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. kolbae Jochum, Inäbnit, Kneubühler & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. neuberti Jochum & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. njegusiense Jochum & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. njunjicae Jochum, Schilthuizen & Ruthensteiner sp. nov., Z. tortuosum Jochum & Ruthensteiner sp. nov. and Z. tumidum Jochum, Schilthuizen & Ruthensteiner sp. nov. One species, Z. kolbae, is described using DNA sequence data and one species, Z. simplex Inäbnit, Jochum & Neubert, 2021 for which DNA sequence data is already available, is supported by morphological data presented in this study. The DNA sequence dataset (COI, 16S and H3) is included here and implemented in the most recent phylogenetic reconstruction of the genus. A translation of Karel Absolon’s notes from the Balkan scientific expeditions is provided.

Optimizing Activated Carbon Production from Waste Cashew Nut Shell with Zinc Chloride: A Box-Behnken Design and Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) Application
Authors: Okiy Karinate , Nwabanne Joseph
Published: March 2024

In this study, Response surface methodology (RSM) and innovative Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) approaches are applied to investigate the optimal process conditions of zinc chloride activated cashew nut production process. The effects of activation conditions (i.e. activation temperature, activation time, and impregnation ratio) on the achievable BET surface areas were studied with the aid of Box Behnken Design (BBD) and GMDH. Comparative analyses of RSM and GMDH-type neural models were further researched. During the process, the polynomial model equations developed were modified and fine-tuned to predict the highest BET surface area(s) using regression analysis and GMDH multi-layered iterative algorithm (MIA). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that the significant factor(s) were impregnation ratio, impregnation ratio product, and the 2-way interactions (activation temperature and impregnation ratio) for ZnCl2 activated cashew nut shell. The best activation conditions for producing highest BET surface area of 504 m2.g-1 was activation temperature (873K), activation time (60 min), and impregnation ratio (1.50).The proposed GMDH-type BET model was ascertained to be the best model with average correlation coefficient (R) and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.925 and 32.0 respectively. Sensitivity analysis conducted for GMDH-type neural network also revealed that the activation temperature and activation time with sensitivity values of 90.6% and 74.1% respectively were the most influential parameters in the basic (ZnCl2) activation process. The results of this study show that RSM and GMDH-type neural network could be applied as effective analytical tools for optimizing the ZCNS (zinc chloride-activated cashew nut shells) manufacturing process.

The blast load was, then, determined using the time-pressure history analysis as well as the structure was numericallly modeled using ABAQUS computer software. The results obtained show that the conventional computer software can be used to simulate explosion effects and possibly give an initial assessment of the structure damages.
The changing role and behaviour of consumers in last mile logistics services: A review
Authors: Cebeci Merve , De Bok Michiel , Tavasszy Lóránt
Published: March 2024

The growth of e-commerce and omnichannel retailing has led to significant changes in urban logistics deliveries. In addition to the traditional delivery channels, new solutions have been introduced, such as click-and-collect, parcel locker delivery, crowdshipping, and on-site delivery. However, such solutions require seamless connections between different layers of the city logistics system. These connections form, in the Physical Internet terminology, a “hyperconnected city”. In this context, how do consumers make decisions about logistics services, either as prospective users or as suppliers of last mile logistics services? We argue that a thorough understanding of consumers’ decision-making about last mile services is a prerequisite for the effective exploration of future demand for these services and the design of transport policies. While there is abundant literature on new approaches of last mile logistics, a review of research on consumers’ decision-making and participation in such services is absent. This paper aims to provide such a review and, based on this, provides directions for future research. Based on the existing literature, we propose a conceptual framework that categorises decisions and system attributes affecting consumers’ decision-making. Highlights for future research include interaction between consumers’ demand and supply decisions, changes in consumer preferences, the importance of social networks, and the city-level impacts of hyperconnected last mile delivery.

This study aims to determine the role of Sekabuk Village women's involvement in managing forest areas through the Social Forestry Program (PS). The method used in this study is a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The data source in the study was obtained through semi-structural, in-depth interviews with 7 key informants, which were determined through purposive sampling techniques. The writing of this thesis aims to provide an understanding of the implementation of social forestry programs involving the role of women in Sekabuk Village. The problem of the lack of involvement of women in resource management around the area that occurs in Sekabuk Village is quite interesting to study, considering that most of the Sekabuk Village area is a forest area. Based on the research conducted, the participation of women in Sekabuk Village was obtained through granting forest management rights by issuing group decrees, increasing women's capacity by providing training, developing forest-based economic businesses for women's groups, providing women's empowerment in forest area management, and conducting supervision and evaluation. So, the role of Sekabuk Village women in playing an active role in forest area management was revealed.

Published: March 2024

Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapid and potentially fatal allergic reaction. The diagnosis of anaphylaxis is clinical and must be early. It appears in the first 2 hours after exposure to the allergen, in the first 30 minutes in food allergy and earlier with intravenous drugs or hymenoptera stings. Cutaneous symptoms are generally the first to appear and are present in most cases, more than 80%. They may be mild or transitory, or absent in 18% of cases. If the cardio-circulatory system is affected, an anaphylactic shock occurs. The most frequent cause in pediatrics is nutrition. There are several cofactors whose presence increases the likelihood of anaphylaxis; the most important are: exercise, medication, fever and stress. The treatment of choice is intramuscular adrenaline. Parents and children should be able to identify the signs and/or symptoms of anaphylaxis in order to implement the treatment prescribed in the written action plan.

Catastrophe is a certainty that not only muslims will experience it but others will take a turn. But for a Muslim to have to respond to every disaster he experiences with the glasses of Islam, and Islam has given the various solutions in his book, either by being patient and yielding or just called a laugh. Patience and benevolence depend on a Muslim for trials, as they contain goodness and motivation to always think positively of the requirements of god and to live their lives in spite of the tragedies that beset him. In surah al-Baqarah/2 : 156-157 is the cornerstone of the solution. The writer will examine how the concept of patience and benevolence should be applied to a Muslim In the face of a test. By doing extensive interpretation research and related articles, the writer has concluded that patience and psychology must be in accordance with the islamic concept in order to endure the tragedies successfully and to keep receiving the rewards god has promised in the letter al-baqarah.

Musibah merupakan suatu ketentuan yang pasti terjadi, bukan hanya muslim saja yang akan mengalaminya tetapi selainnya pun akan mendapat giliran. Tetapi bagi seorang muslim haruslah menanggapi setiap musibah yang dia alami dengan kaca mata islam, dan islam pun telah memberikan berbagai solusi didalam kitabnya yaitu adalah dengan sabar dan berserah diri atau bisa disebut dengan tawakal. Sabar dan tawakal menjadi sandaran bagi seorang muslim untuk menghadapi berbagai ujian, karena di dalamnya mengandung kebaikan dan motivasi untuk selalu berfikiran positif terhadap ketentuan Allah dan agar bisa menjalani hidup sebagaimana mestinya walaupun musibah sedang menimpanya. Surat al-Baqarah/2: 156-157 menjadi landasan dalil akan solusi tersebut. Penulis akan meneliti bagaimana konsep sabar dan tawakal yang seharusnya diterapkan seorang muslim dalam menghadapi ujian. Dengan melakukan berbagai riset tafsir-tafsir dan artikel-artikel yang berkaitan, penulis pun menyimpulkan bahwa sabar dan tawakal haruslah sesuai dengan konsep islam agar bisa menjalani musibah dengan tabah dan agar tetap mendapatkan ganjaran yang telah dijanjikan oleh Allah pada surat al-Baqarah tersebut.

Study on Seasonal Variation of Indoor Radon, Thoron and their Progeny Levels in Belur and Channarayapatna Taluks of Hassan District, Karnataka State, India
Authors: Srinivasa E
Published: March 2024

Seasonal variation of indoor radon, thoron and their progeny concentrations have been measured in different types of buildings at different locations of Belur and Channarayapatna taluks using time integrated passive radon dosimeters containing LR-115 Type II solid state nuclear track detector. The average radon and thoron activity concentrations, their progeny levels, life time fatality risk and annual effective dose due to radon and thoron were estimated in summer, rainy, autumn and winter seasons. A detail analysis of radon and thoron distribution in twenty different houses with seasonal variation is presented in this paper. In general, the levels of radon and thoron concentration were observed to be highest in winter and lowest in summer
Patterns of Metatarsal Explosion After New Modern Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery. A Retrospective Review and Case Series of 16 Feet.
Authors: Blitz Neal M. , Wong David T. , Baskin Eric S.
Published: March 2024

Introduction

First metatarsal explosion is a new serious postoperative complication that occurs with new minimally invasive bunion surgery and has yet to be reported or analyzed. This retrospective study investigated associated factors. We present a classification system (3 Types), mechanism and treatment paradigm.

Methods

A case review was performed between January 2018 to May 2022 and we identified 16 feet (15 patients) with metatarsal explosion. We evaluated age, sex, BMI, laterality, preoperative intermetatarsal angle, medical comorbidities, screw placement, number of screws and patterns of fracture.

Results

The median age was 61.6 years and 80% of patients were females. Forty percent were obese. Forty percent had thyroid disorders. One patient had bilateral explosion. The metatarsal explosion distributions were Type I 50%, Type II 31% and Type III 19%. Twelve feet (75%) of metatarsal explosions occurred in a region we coin the Cortical Purchase Zone (CPZ). Forty three percent of metatarsal explosions had screws starting distal/dorsal in the metatarsal base, a region we coin the Cancellous Anchor Zone (CAZ). Metatarsal explosion distribution was not significantly associated with age, gender, laterality, preoperative intermetatarsal angle, screw placement and all medical comorbidities. Worse metatarsal explosions were more likely with two metatarsal screws (p < 0.05). Treatment was non-surgical for 12 feet (75%) and open reduction internal fixation for 4 feet (25%).

Conclusion

Metatarsal explosion has three distinct types and we present a new classification system. Two screw fixation was more likely to have a metatarsal explosion. Etiologic observations suggest screw placement as a contributing cause. Treatment was mainly non-operative and surgery was utilized for unstable displaced explosions.

Hegel i Paris – Beauvoir og den feministiske kritiks dialektiske arv
Authors: Cornelia Ploug Anna
Published: March 2024

While it is well-known that the intense albeit short-lived Hegel renaissance of the 1930s’ and 1940s’ France had a huge influence on later intellectual currents of the 20th century, its importance to Simone de Beauvoir is often left unnoticed or reduced to her appropriation of the master/slave dialectic. This paper argues that Beauvoir – who came to know Hegel through the work of Alexandre Kojève as well as her own studies during the war – in fact, makes recourse to Hegelian dialectics in her conceptual composition of the ‘woman problem’ in The Second Sex. The paper identifies four figures of femininity, from the abstract mystique of the ‘Sphinx’ to the internal conflict of ‘The Little Mermaid’, and shows how the negative determinations culminate in a figure of contradiction, which implies that we may interpret The Second Sex as a work of critical thought. This means that the Hegelian legacy of feminist critique has as its objective an emancipatory project rather than equality
Soutenir l’insertion professionnelle des novices à l’aide du mentorat

Published: March 2024

Au Québec comme ailleurs dans le monde, à l’heure de la pénurie criante d’enseignantes et d’enseignants qualifiés, les différents acteurs du système de l’éducation se mobilisent pour tenter d’y faire face et de surmonter les défis qu’elle entraine. L’effet du mentorat sur la rétention des novices étant assez bien documenté dans la littérature scientifique, les personnes mentores ont alors le potentiel de devenir des actrices et des acteurs de premier plan pour le soutien de l’insertion professionnelle dans les milieux scolaires. L’objectif général de l’initiative que nous présentons dans cet article est d’accompagner et de former les personnes mentores du centre de services scolaire partenaire. Nous visons aussi à documenter leurs perceptions quant à la formation et à l’accompagnement reçus, ainsi qu’aux effets perçus de la mobilisation de leurs apprentissages dans leurs pratiques de soutien et d’accompagnement des novices. Cette initiative s’inscrit dans un partenariat établi entre une équipe de recherche de l’Université Laval et le Centre de services scolaire de la Capitale.
Réflexion sur la nature et l’usage de la connaissance en nutrition – Un appel à davantage d’éthique
Authors: Vaillancourt Hugues , Geoffrion Marie-Noël
Published: March 2024

La nutrition se définit comme la science appliquée qui s’intéresse à la relation entre l’alimentation et la santé. Or, l’alimentation est un objet d’intérêt et d’étude pour plusieurs autres disciplines. L’application des connaissances en nutrition demeure cependant essentiellement réfléchie en accordant par défaut une primauté épistémique à la fonction biomédicale de l’alimentation. Les connaissances issues de ces autres disciplines se retrouvent alors généralement dépréciées, voire écartées. L’éthique semble en mesure de fournir un terrain neutre afin de confronter et concilier les différentes perspectives disciplinaires sur l’alimentation. L’approfondissement d’une réflexion éthique propre à la pratique de la nutrition est souhaité afin d’améliorer la pertinence de ses efforts d’application des connaissances. L’article propose quatre principaux thèmes éthiques autour desquels pourrait s’organiser l’analyse des enjeux épistémiques en lien avec la nutrition et l’alimentation. Ces thèmes discutés dans l’article sont : l’identité, la liberté, la justice et la dignité.
« N’aimez pas le monde ni ce qui est dans le monde » (1 Jn 2,15) : la première épître johannique au regard de la crise écologique
Authors: Luna Rodolfo Felices
Published: March 2024

Dans la foulée des travaux menés par le groupe Earth Bible, cet essai applique les principes de lecture écoresponsable à trois traductions courantes en français de 1 Jn 2,15-17. La terminologie traditionnelle peut choquer les sensibilités des lectrices et lecteurs contemporains, notamment par rapport à la valeur du monde et au temps des vivants. La crise écologique invite à repenser les mots employés pour rendre le texte biblique. Cet essai propose une traduction alternative, qui respecte les idées-forces de l’épître, tout en dissipant les malentendus que l’emploi de vocables tels que « monde » et « éternité » pourrait susciter dans l’esprit d’un lectorat non averti.
