Conjugated photothermal materials and structure design for solar steam generation
Authors: Lin Chia-Yang , Michinobu Tsuyoshi
Published: April 2023

With the development of solar steam generation (SSG) for clean water production, conjugated photothermal materials (PTMs) have attracted significant interest because of their advantages over metallic and inorganic PTMs in terms of high light absorption, designable molecular structures, flexible morphology, and solution processability. We review here the recent progress in solar steam generation devices based on conjugated organic materials. Conjugated organic materials are processed into fibers, membranes, and porous structures. Therefore, nanostructure design based on the concept of nanoarchitectonics is crucial to achieve high SSG efficiency. We discuss the considerations for designing SSG absorbers and describe commonly used conjugated organic materials and structural designs.

Authors: Gonzalez Rocio , Arroniz Leonardo , Parra-Bolaños Nicolás
Published: April 2023

En el contexto actual, los adolescentes se enfrentan a una gran variedad de demandas a nivel cognitivo, emocional y relacional, por lo que requieren cada vez más desarrollar, no solo habilidades cognitivas, sino también emocionales, que les permitan hacerles frente a los diversos desafíos de la vida moderna. Un aspecto importante a tener en cuenta en relación a ello son las diferencias según el sexo. El objetivo del presente estudio consiste en describir el perfil emocional en adolescentes argentinos en función de las diferencias de sexo. Para ello, se trabajó con una muestra de 163 estudiantes del nivel secundario con edades comprendidas entre 11 y 14 años (48.1% varones y 51.9% mujeres); quienes respondieron un cuestionario sociodemográfico y una escala de inteligencia emocional, de empatía y de regulación emocional cognitiva. Los resultados muestran que las mujeres presentan mayor empatía y estrategias de regulación emocional desadaptativas, mientras que los varones reportan mayor habilidad en inteligencia emocional y en regulación emocional. Por tanto, los resultados concuerdan con estudios previos en diferentes contextos culturales, aunque, se sugiere ahondar en el estudio del género para explorar las posibles explicaciones de dichas diferencias observadas.

Published: April 2023

Dua prinsip yang saling bertentangan tentang hukum tanah yang mengatur sebelum terbentuknya Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960 tentang Pokok-Pokok Hukum Agraria, di mana perbedaan aturan hukum bagi orang Indonesia dan bukan orang Indonesia terkait dengan hak tanah menjadikan dasar penggagas yang mendasar sebagai negara hukum untuk dibentuk suatu aturan hukum yang pasti yang berkaitan dengan pertanahan di negara Indonesia. Alasan dari pengambilan judul ini untuk mengkaji dan memberikan wawasan di bidang agraria dalam hak penguasaan tanah di Indonesia serta ketimpangan yang terjadi dalam masyarakat luas. Penulisan jurnal ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif atau studi kepustakaan, karena kajian yang diperoleh berdasarkan referensi dari buku-buku, artikel, maupun peraturan-peraturan yang berkaitan dengan hukum agraria atau kebijakan pertanahan. Berbagai hak penguasaan atas tanah yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960 tentang Pokok-Pokok Hukum Agraria yang dibentuk dengan tujuan meletakkan dasar-dasar bagi penyusun hukum agraria nasional yang merupakan sarana untuk mengupayakan sebesar-besarnya kemakmuran, kebahagiaan dan keadilan bagi rakyat, tidak selaras atau berhubungan dengan apa yang terjadi pada situasi sekarang. Sehingga terjadi ketimpangan dalam penguasaan tanah, baik itu orang, korporasi maupun pemerintah.

Many countries have experienced a lot of loss of life and material losses in many incidents due to natural or technological disasters. Planned and systematic action is required to manage emergencies. For this, a successful plan must be prepared. In order for the emergency management to be successful, it is necessary to successfully evacuate people from the building in the event of a disaster. Emergency evacuation plans, evacuation drills and training should be provided. Simulations and models have often been one of the methods people use to study events. How solutions should be created for the events encountered were examined with simulations. With emergency evacuation simulations, an emergency management plan can be made close to reality. This study was carried out in a university building. In this 3-storey building, there are students, lecturers and working personnel. The best emergency evacuation plan to be applied in an emergency has been researched. It was aimed to create a plan with the shortest evacuation time by making experiments with the simulation program. Pathfinder simulation program was used in this study. In the first part, 11 scenarios related to the routing variability to the emergency exit doors were created. It is aimed to create a plan with the best evacuation time. In the second part, 5 scenarios were created about the situations where the emergency exit doors are locked and the doors are unusable for certain periods. The effects of these disruptions on the evacuation period were examined.
Diversity and phylogeny of the extinct wasp subfamily Lancepyrinae (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae) revealed by mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber
Authors: Brazidec Manuel , Legendre Frédéric , Perrichot Vincent
Published: April 2023

The Lancepyrinae are an extinct subfamily of Bethylidae known exclusively from Cretaceous amber deposits of Lebanon, Spain, Taimyr and Myanmar. In this study, we describe and illustrate four new genera and five new species of lancepyrine wasps from the Albian of Hkamti and late Albian-early Cenomanian of Kachin (Myanmar): Azepyris delamarreigen. et sp. nov., Burmapyris ohmkuhnleisp. nov., Gwesped groehnigen. et sp. nov., Paralanceis chotardigen. et sp. nov. and Yunbayin rosseigen. et sp. nov. These taxa not only highlight the taxonomic diversity of the Lancepyrinae during the mid-Cretaceous but they also reveal the morphological disparity of the subfamily. To establish the phylogenetic relationships of these fossils and to check the monophyly of the Lancepyrinae, we add them to a pre-existing morphological matrix and perform a cladistic analysis. We retrieve the subfamily as poorly supported yet monophyletic, with the newly described taxa deeply nested in it. A key to the genera of Lancepyrinae is provided. Finally, we erect the subfamily Cretabythinaesubfam. nov. for the genera Cretabythus Evans, 1973, Holopsenelliscus Engel, 2019 and MegalopsenellaJouault et al., 2020 as no taxonomic treatment has been provided for these taxa after the transfer of HolopsenellaEngel et al., 2016 as Aculeataincertae sedis.

• Objectifs Fondée sur l’étude d’ Animal Crossing : New Horizons (ACHN), notre recherche ambitionne de comprendre la relation entre le joueur, son avatar et la mode. Il s’agit d’apporter une réponse aux questions suivantes : Quelles sont les spécificités du mécanisme de projection du joueur envers son avatar dans ce jeu vidéo ? Quel est le rôle de la mode dans ce mécanisme ? • Méthodologie Dans une visée compréhensive, notre méthodologie qualitative se fonde sur deux principales sources : observation participante et enquête auprès de la communauté des joueurs d’ACNH. • Résultats Jeu « bac à sable », ACNH se caractérise par la possibilité qu’ont les joueurs de créer des vêtements puis éventuellement de les partager à la communauté en ligne. Evoluant en fonction des situations, le choix du look de l’avatar semble crucial dans le processus d’identification. Les joueurs choisissent un style de vêtements correspondant à leur look avéré, rêvé ou fantasmé. • Implications managériales/sociétales Notre recherche souligne l’intérêt pour les marques de se saisir des opportunités offertes par le gameplay d’ACNH et leur adresse des recommandations en matière de placement produit. • Originalité Alors que plusieurs jeux vidéo sont devenus les vitrines de la mode, les enjeux associés au look de l’avatar sont peu explorés par la littérature en marketing. C’est sur la base des spécificités relatives à la création et au partage de designs dans le jeu vidéo ACNH que nous proposons de mieux comprendre les enjeux associés à la mode.
Breast Cancer and Body Image: The Roles of the Male Partner
Authors: Akpor Oluwaseyi Abiodun , Kolawole Eyitayo Roseline , Olorunfemi Olaolorunpo , Oduyemi Rachael Olufunmilayo
Published: April 2023

Background:

Cancer is a group of diseases with different causes, manifestations, treatment, and prognosis, characterized with an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cell. In women; cancer of the breast is the second most common cancer after cervical cancer and the second leading cancer’s death following lung cancer among women in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, it has become the most common female malignancy with a prevalence of 12.5%. However, the same treatment that offers better cure rates may also result in a serious decrease in quality of life, psychological problems, as well as provoking changes in their bodies. Societal behavior towards breast cancer patients makes a woman that is newly diagnosed with breast cancer become tearful, ashamed, and discouraged.

Aims:

To examine breast cancer, body image and the roles of the male partner.

Methods:

The data for this review paper are from published studies. Electronic databases of Medline, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar were searched using the keywords: breast cancer, body image, roles of the male partner and literature were retrieved and screened for eligibility. The date limit considered in the literature search was from 2016-2021 to capture only the variables identified in this seminar objective. The author defined the topic of interest and the goal was to address the objective of the seminar topic.

Results:

Four themes (issues) emerged which are: (1) The Model of Whole-Person Caring, (2) Disturbed Body Image, (3) Psycho-Social Impact of Breast Cancer and (4) Roles of the Male Partner.

Conclusion:

Breast cancer poses a significant financial and psychosocial burden not only on patients, but also on their spouses, families, and broader social network. Breast cancer disease usually changes spousal roles as the women’s husbands take over their responsibilities. The disease influenced both partners and made stress a common factor shared by them. Husband plays a vital role in the lives of breast cancer patients through managing the finance, decision-making, providing emotional support, and remaining involved throughout the disease. Therefore, involving the husband in planned psycho-social interventions produces better results than merely patient-focused strategies. Male partners have a great role to play and should be encouraged and allow partaking in the treatment process of their spouses as this will positively influence their recovery.

republicanismo democrático español y la política reforma social: Gumersindo de Azcárate
Authors: Monereo Pérez José Luis
Published: April 2023

Gumersindo de Azcárate se inserta en el movimiento de reacción desde dentro del sistema liberal frente a los postulados tradicionales del liberalismo radical económico, social y jurídico. Se pretendía transformar el liberalismo desde dentro, renovándolo y adaptándolo a las exigencias de una nueva época, llevando a cabo profundas reformas sociales, económicas y de carácter político jurídico del orden liberal originario. El proceso fue similar –más allá de las innegables diferencias específicas- a lo largo del siglo XIX en los Estados industrialmente más desarrollados. Entre ese amplio movimiento de transformación del sistema liberal individualista de los orígenes se encontraba, de manera destacada, la corriente crítica de pensamiento del krausismo social liberal, muy centrada en introducir reformas sociales utilizando como palanca los instrumentos renovados del sistema político y jurídico del Estado intervencionista; junto con la implantación un  sistema educativo como mecanismo para forjar una ciudadanía activa y crear una esfera de opinión pública crítica. Todo ello se realiza como plasmación de la filosofía jurídica y sociopolítica de un krausismo renovado como “republicanismo social”.
Assessing radicalization risks in the adolescent and youth environment
Authors: Бовин Б.Г. , Дворянчиков Н.В. , Мельникова Д.В. , Бовина И.Б.
Published: April 2023

Введение: сфокусированность внимания представителей социально-психологической науки на проблеме радикализации объясняется социальным запросом на профилактику данного явления в подростково-молодежной среде. Разработка инструментов оценки риска радикализации являет собой очень важный инструмент ранней диагностики. Цель: теоретико-аналитическое исследование с целью критического анализа существующих моделей оценки риска радикализации. Результаты: значительное внимание в работе уделено анализу инструментов оценки риска радикализации, которые используются в пенитенциарных системах ряда стран. Кроме того, обсуждаются модели оценки риска в более широкой популяции. Выводы: критический анализ существующих моделей радикализации позволяет прийти к заключению о необходимости рассмотрения процесса радикализации через призму такой теоретической традиции, которая была бы адекватна изучению самого феномена (радикализация, будучи процессом легитимизации терроризма, понимается как явление, происходящее в групповом контексте). Кроме того, модель оценки риска радикализации должна основываться на такой теоретической традиции, которая получила бы солидную экспериментальную проверку.

Introduction: representatives of socio-psychological science focus their attention on the prob- lem of radicalization due to the social demand to prevent this phenomenon in the adolescent and youth environment. The development of tools for assessing radicalization risks is a very important tool for early diagnosis. Purpose: theoretical and analytical research to critically analyze current models for assessing radicalization risks. Results: considerable attention is paid to the analysis of tools for assessing radicalization risks, used in penitentiary systems of different countries. In addi- tion, risk assessment models in a wider population are discussed. Conclusion: the conducted study shows that it is necessary to consider the radicalization process through the prism of such a theo- retical tradition that would be adequate to the study of the phenomenon itself (radicalization, being a process of terrorism legitimization, is understood as a phenomenon occurring in a group context). In addition, the model for assessing radicalization risks should be based on a theoretical tradition that would receive a solid experimental test.
Bank Profitability and Mergers in the German Cooperative Banking Sector
Authors: Reichel Richard
Published: April 2023

Abstract

This paper evaluates bank performance as a determinant of mergers in the German cooperative banking sector. Based on annual time series data since 1990, a bivariate Vector Error Correction (VEC) model is specified and estimated. The results identify return on equity (ROE) as a driver of mergers. The higher ROE, the higher the merger intensity, defined as the ratio of mergers by the number of last years’ banks. A reverse causality cannot be found as mergers do not significantly affect ROE. The results confirm some literature findings that were obtained from cross-section data. Our findings do not confirm the hypothesis that mergers are induced by worse economic performance.

JEL classification numbers: G21, G34, L25, P13.
Keywords: Bank mergers, cooperative banks, bank profitability, VEC model.

Published: April 2023

A relação dos transtornos mentais com o trabalho expressa uma exposição a riscos psicossociais “invisíveis” com grande prevalência nas últimas duas décadas no Brasil e no mundo. Não por acaso, no Brasil, os transtornos mentais passaram a ocupar o terceiro lugar em quantidade de concessões de auxílio-doença. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o risco de ocorrência dos transtornos mentais de origem ocupacional nas regiões brasileiras. Distribuindo esses casos por regiões geopolíticas brasileiras, mostrou-se que as regiões com maior PIB obtiveram uma taxa de incidência maior. As Reações ao Stress Grave e Transtornos de Adaptação foram mais incidentes, com quase metade das notificações no período. A análise dos registros de agravos por transtornos mentais é uma importante ferramenta para o diagnóstico da situação de saúde dos trabalhadores e atuação na prevenção/tratamento desses transtornos psíquicos.

A obesidade é uma doença crônica cuja prevalência tem aumentado progressivamente. A farmacoterapia pode se apresentar como um importante adjuvante no tratamento. Dentro desse contexto, os análogos de GLP-1 são uma das classes medicamentosas estudadas para promoção de perda de peso. Desenvolvimento: Os medicamentos dessa classe atuam mimetizando a ação de GLP-1, uma incretina endógena que atua sobre receptores localizados no trato gastrointestinal e sistema nervoso central, promovendo maior liberação de insulina e saciedade. A liraglutida e semaglutida são dois dos principais representantes da classe, e a tirzepatida é um novo medicamento, que tem o a diferencial de também ser análoga da incretina GIP. Nos ensaios clínicos que compararam os análogos de GLP-1 com placebo, observou-se que a semaglutida esteve associada a uma maior perda de peso do que a liraglutida, e o emagrecimento persistiu por um período mais prolongado. Já a tirzepatida apresentou resultado ainda mais significativo, mas ainda não está aprovada para tratamento de obesidade devido à necessidade de realização de mais estudos. Considerações finais: Os três medicamentos estudados foram eficazes na promoção de perda de peso clinicamente relevante, com o adicional de melhora no controle glicêmico e risco cardiometabólico.

Authors: Non Lemuel Benedict R. , Dofitas Belen L.
Published: April 2023

Tinea imbricata or Tokelau ringworm is an unusual superficial dermatophytosis caused by the anthropophilic Trichophyton concentricum. Three cases of Tinea imbricata observed at the Municipal Health Office of Kiamba, Sarangani Province, Philippines are reported in this study. All three patients were from an indigenous ethnic group of Sarangani Province and lived in isolated upland communities. Patient 1 was a 30 year old male, Patient 2 was a 40 year old female, and Patient 3 was a 19 year old female. Lesions lasted ~27 years, ~25 years, and 2 years, respectively. All patients presented with characteristic extensive polycyclic to serpiginous scaling lesions, with areas of sparing. Microscopic examination of skin scrapings prepared with potassium hydroxide revealed the characteristic broad, branched, septate, irregular hyphae. Trichopyton concentricum, the causative agent, was isolated in one of the patients using Mycobiotic agar. Histopathologic examination on 2 of the patients revealed acute and chronic inflammation, and Periodic Acid Schiff-positive fungal hyphae. All patients were started on Griseofulvin 500mg tab once daily. The case series presented here is the first account of Tinea imbricata in the Philippines since the 1990s.
An Analytical Study of Work Life Balance and its Impact on Working People in Service Sector in Shekhawati Region
Authors: Sharda Kumari  , Dr. Harish Purohit
Published: April 2023

Two major studies have contended that work life balance is an important aspect for an employee and it has a bearing on job satisfaction. A 2017 survey by BCG of 200,000 employees worldwide found that work life balance is the 3rd most influencing factor for job satisfaction. A 2018 meta-analysis published in British Psychology Society reviewed 223 studies that examined the link between job satisfaction and life satisfaction subjective well-being. The psychologists concluded that people who are predisposed to be happy and satisfied in life in general are more likely to be happy and satisfied in their work. They note that individuals who are generally unhappy in life and seek satisfaction in their work likely will not find it. Given the rise in number of working people and the severity of the problem, a research was undertaken in the context of working people from the service sector in Shekhawati region. Before the main study was undertaken a literature review was carried. This research paper presents the same.

The article presents the RuralYU university entrepreneurship project, developed by the Youth University Design (YUDesign) Spontaneous Generation (GE) group of the School of Design Engineering (ETSID), at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV). RuralYU aspires to reduce rural depopulation in collaboration with university students, who, by carrying out academic work, cover specific needs with the aim of strengthening rural development. The idea of ​​an inter-university collaboration programme with the rural world arose after having won the Vodafone Foundation’s Project Lab 2021 national contest within the framework of GLOBAL CHANGE with the proposal “RuralLife4Good. Accommodation grant programme for the empowerment of rural environments”. The winning proposal, which was implemented as a pilot project in Ràfol de Salem during the 2021-2022 academic year, values ​​the importance of the university at the service of society, in this case as an axis of urgent and necessary activation to avoid rural abandonment.
Improving Cultural Heritage conservation: LSTM neural networks to effectively processing end-user’s maintenance requests
Authors: D'Orazio Marco , Bernardini Gabriele , Di Giuseppe Elisa
Published: April 2023

Preventive conservation of cultural heritage can avoid or minimize future damage, deterioration, loss and consequently, any invasive intervention. Recently, Machine Learning methods were proposed to support preventive conservation and maintenance plans, based on their ability to predict the future state of the built heritage by collected data. Several data sources were used, such as structural data and images depicting the evolution of the deterioration state, but till now textual information, exchanged by people living or working in historical buildings to require maintenance interventions, was not used to support conservation programmes. This work proposes a method to support preventive conservation programs based on the analysis of data collected into CMMS (computer maintenance management software). In a Cultural Heritage building in Italy, hosting a University Campus, data about end-user’s maintenance requests collected for 34 months were analysed, and LSTM neural networks were trained to predict the category of each request. Results show a prediction accuracy of 96.6%, thus demonstrating the potentialities of this approach in dynamically adapting the maintenance program to emerging issues.
Reformas da previdência social no Brasil: fatores que conduzem o processo reformador
Authors: Lima Gilvânklim Marques de , Sorto Fredys Orlando
Published: April 2023

O presente trabalho analisa as reformas do modelo de Previdência Social pós 1988. A partir da avaliação do caminho que vem sendo trilhado pelo poder constituinte derivado e mediante a utilização das categorias “fatores reais do poder” de Lassalle e “vontade de constituição” de Hesse, procura-se identificar quais são as forças que nortearam o Constituinte de 1988 e quais são as que vêm influenciando o processo de reforma constitucional no campo previdenciário. A pesquisa foi feita mediante a utilização do método indutivo, partindo da avaliação das alterações introduzidas no modelo previdenciário, a fim de identificar se existe correlação entre os fatores reais do poder presentes na elaboração do texto constitucional de 1988 e os que vêm orientando as sucessivas reformas previdenciárias.
A complexidade argumentativa da tomada de decisão dos vetos no Poder Executivo Federal
Authors: Cirne Mariana Barbosa
Published: April 2023

O Presidente da República não decide sozinho. O presidencialismo de coalizão brasileiro aproxima o Legislativo do Executivo, o que demanda melhores justificativas presidenciais ao decidir. Este artigo explora a complexidade argumentativa do Poder Executivo federal na tomada de decisão presidencial do veto. A metodologia usada conjugar revisão bibliográfica do Direito e da Ciência Política, por meio de pesquisa qualitativa de natureza descritiva, sobre vetos e argumentação. O artigo almeja trazer para o debate os argumentos levados ao Presidente da República no momento de decisão do veto em projetos de leis aprovados pelo Congresso Nacional. A pesquisa busca responder duas perguntas: Como ocorre o debate argumentativo de tomada de decisão de sanção e veto presidencial? Os argumentos usados na tomada de decisão podem ser explorados pela argumentação jurídica? Como resposta, demonstra que inexiste uma decisão solipsista presidencial, mas sim um complexo processo decisório, pautado em razões de mérito e jurídicas. A argumentação jurídica pode ajudar na construção de tais justificativas e aproximar os Poderes. O trabalho busca oferecer um campo fértil para futuras pesquisas a serem desenvolvidas com o uso da argumentação jurídica.
The Silk Road: China and the Karakorum Highway
Authors: Tucker Jonathan
Published: April 2023

Stretching from the ancient Chinese capital of Xian across the expanses of Central Asia to Rome, the Silk Road was, for 1,500 years, a vibrant network of arteries that carried the lifeblood of nations across the world. Along a multitude of routes everything was exchanged: exotic goods, art, knowledge, religion, philosophy, disease and war. From the East came silk, precious stones, tea, jade, paper, porcelain, spices and cotton; from the West, horses, weapons, wool and linen, aromatics, entertainers and exotic animals. From its earliest beginnings in the days of Alexander the Great and the Han dynasty, the Silk Road expanded and evolved, reaching its peak during the Tang dynasty and the Byzantine Empire and gradually withering away with the decline of the Mongol Empire.

In this beautifully illustrated book, which covers the China section of the Silk Road - from Xian through Loulan, Korla, Turfan and Khotan to Kashgar and onwards to India - Jonathan Tucker uses travellers' anecdotes and a wealth of literary and historical sources to celebrate the cultural heritage of the countries that lie along the Silk Road and illuminate the lives of those who once travelled through the very heart of the world.

Synthesis and characterization of humic acid and lignosulphonate based adsorbents for removal of pollutants from textile effluents
Authors:   , Dass Avitha
Published: April 2023

Effluents containing dyes have become a big problem because of the ineffective and uneconomic treatment methods used by industries. There is no single treatment system that is adequate for the degradation of dyes. Currently, several chemical and physical degradation protocols for the remediation of dyes in wastewater are being used. Also, researchers have detected nitro-aromatic compounds in wastewater and these toxic compounds are detrimental to flora and fauna present in water bodies. Our aim was to prepare new materials and assess their potential as adsorbents as well as synthesis of new catalysts for the reduction of selected dyes and nitro-aromatic compounds. Two new composites were synthesised from starting materials lignosulphonate, humic acid, maleic anhydride and Kraft lignin. The novel nanocomposites were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier-Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the synthesized nanocomposite material was used either as an adsorbent for the dyes such as Reactive Blue 222 (RB), Reactive Red 195 (RR), and Reactive Yellow 145 (RY) or as a heterogeneous catalyst for the reduction of several nitro-anilines and selected dyes. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to assess the potential of the composite as adsorbents or be reductants. Adsorption isotherms, and adsorption kinetics of the new composite were studied. The overall advantage of this investigation is the raw material of the composite is cheap as it is obtained as waste material and is easily available.
Redemptive Manhood
Authors: Feltman Brian K.
Published: April 2023

This chapter examines German soldiers' organized activities in captivity, which included celebrations of the Kaiser's birthday, the establishment of camp schools, and the formation of competitive athletic associations. For the prisoners, camp pursuits did not only constitute a means for relieving the boredom of captivity but also displayed an unbroken desire to serve the higher cause. Prisoners strove to express their identity as German warriors through acts of defiance and by establishing cultural communities that illustrated the “German spirit.” For men battling feelings of humiliation and inadequacy, organized events gave their lives meaning. By preparing themselves for the challenges of postwar life, military prisoners believed that they continued to serve German interests. This chapter demonstrates how the culture of captivity became a culture of resistance and redemption of manhood for German prisoners of the British.
