Battle of the Atlantic (1)
Authors: Stille Mark
Published: August 2024

The first in a series of illustrated books exploring the longest and best-known naval campaign of World War II, focusing on the struggle between Allied naval and air forces and Hitler's U-boats.

When fighting broke out in September 1939, neither the British Royal Navy nor the German Kriegsmarine were prepared for another war in the North Atlantic. Having defeated the U-boats in World War I, the Royal Navy was confident it would succeed again. This was quickly shown to be an illusion, as neither the scale of forces available nor their tactics were sufficient. The Germans were even less prepared, with only a small number of U-boats, most of which were left over from World War I.

Respected naval historian Mark Stille examines the struggle between Allied naval and air forces and the German U-boats in the first 15 months of the war. The Germans attempted to win a tonnage war against Allied shipping, with well-trained and bold U-boat commanders enjoying some brilliant successes. However, the lack of U-boats and torpedo problems prevented the Germans from inflicting crippling losses, even though the British found it impossible to protect all shipping, primarily because of lack of convoy escorts.

Featuring maps, diagrams, photographs and stunning battlescene artworks, this book vividly brings to life the weapons, personalities, and tactics of the opposing sides in a unique and engaging way.
RAF Fighters vs Ju 87 Stuka
Authors: Saunders Andy
Published: August 2024

An illustrated account of the clashes between RAF Fighter Command’s Hurricane and Spitfire and the Luftwaffe’s Ju 87 Stuka in the skies over France, the Channel and southern England.

The story of the Luftwaffe’s Ju 87 Stuka and its use against British targets in 1940 has been clouded by the aircraft’s – somewhat unfair – reputation as ‘fighter fodder’ for the RAF’s Hurricanes, Spitfires and turret-armed Defiants. In actuality, it was a formidable weapon when employed properly and remained in operational use for the entirety of World War 2, achieving iconic status through its engagements at Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain.

Aviation expert Andy Saunders addresses the misconceptions surrounding the Ju 87 with this fresh appraisal of its famous actions in the skies over France, the Channel and southern England. Enhanced by first-hand accounts, rare photographs and newly commissioned artwork and diagrams, the story unfolds to reveal how the Stuka defended itself against on oncoming fighters and how, in turn, RAF pilots learned to shoot the aircraft down.
The Protection of Traditional Knowledge at the Frontiers of Drug Discovery
Authors: Harrison Peter S
Published: August 2024

This book concerns the often fractious interface between drug discovery and commercialisation, environmental degradation, the biodiversity crisis, the exploitation of indigenous peoples and the destruction of their culture, the right to health, inequalities of power, and the ability of the law to protect knowledge.

For millennia, medicinal plants have provided a trove of treatments for human ailments, and the key to that treasure has been the traditional knowledge of the indigenous peoples who have lived alongside these plants. More recently that knowledge has been taken, often without consent or recompense, by Western science as a springboard for the development of pharmaceutical agents. As a response to threats to biodiversity and indigenous culture, international mechanisms have created, or are creating, enforceable rights for indigenous peoples to control such knowledge.

With a background in pharmacology and molecular biology and significant experience as a lawyer in pharmaceutical and biotech patent litigation, the author brings a fresh perspective to understanding the difficulties of enforcing such rights and, in particular, examines whether there is a philosophically justifiable limit to the downstream scope of such rights.

This book is aimed at all those with an interest in the control of indigenous genetic knowledge and the protection of indigenous culture, whether academics, anthropologists or pharmaceutical researchers, and those seeking to make indigenous rights work, as activists, legislators or practising lawyers.
EU Neighbourhood Law
Authors: Petti Alessandro
Published: August 2024

Brexit and the rekindling of the European Union enlargement talks require a reappraisal of the law of the EU’s proximity policies. In that light, this book turnsWider Europeinto an analytical concept to capture the legal and political facets of the extension of the EU’s legal space in the Union’s neighbourhood.

The book follows three lines of inquiry. Firstly, it reflects on the similarities and differences between internal and external integration, drawing a distinction between EU membership law and EU neighbourhood law. Secondly, it unravels the techniques for the extension of the EU’s legal space across different partnerships in the Union’s neighbourhood. Thirdly, it sheds light on the political covenants underlying the variety of institutional arrangements of the extended EU’s legal space.

The book discusses how EU neighbourhood law entails a reconfiguration of how sovereignty is exercised both in the EU and in third countries participating in theWider Europe.

Technological progress is accelerating causing changes in various things. One of the impacts of technological advances is the rapid use of the internet. Talking about the internet, of course, it is very closely related to social media, Instagram for example. Instagram is one of the social media platforms that is currently loved by the public. Many active users on Instagram use this flatform as a medium of personal or business information. This study aims to find out how much influence Instagram has on the formation of self-identity that occurs in Generation Z in Communication Science Students FISIP Gunung Jati University, after knowing and using Instagram as a place to build self- identity. This was triggered by Generation Z who flocked to use Instagram as a place to build their identity. The Instagram application is also one of the applications that are popular with Generation Z because it has many interesting features in it. Generation Z often accesses Instagram features, causing them to experience changes in terms of attitudes, behavior, and even language. The method used is qualitative research, in this study using the type of qualitative research initiated by Sugiyono (2014) in (Kristanto, 2018) that the qualitative research method is a method based on the philosophy of post positivism used to examine the condition of an object that is natural rather than experimental. Data collection techniques are combined, data analysis is inductive/qualitative and qualitative research findings emphasize meaning rather than generalization. The conclusion of the results obtained from this study is that generation Z in using Instagram is meant to be in intense use. The motive shown by generation Z is the formation of self-identity by performing selves. They have certain goals that will ultimately affect the formation of their Self-Identity.

Authors: Patridhina Gineung
Published: August 2024

NGOs are agents of change that were formed with the aim of meeting social development needs that have not been able to be carried out or fulfilled by the government as state administrator. To maintain their existence, NGOs are required to maintain healthy financial conditions and diversified funding to ensure the survival of the organization so that it can provide a sustainable impact for its beneficiaries. Therefore, measuring NGO financial performance is very important. The aim of this research is to determine the financial performance and funding diversification of the NGO Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW). The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive using financial ratio analysis and funding diversification on secondary data obtained from the website https://antikorup.org, in the form of financial reports for 2017-2021. The financial ratios calculated to measure ICW's financial performance use the ratio measurement method developed by Ritchie and Kolodinsky (2003), as well as funding diversification which will be measured using the Hirschman Herfindahl Index (HHI). The research results show that the financial health of ICW is in the good category with diversified income, it is known that the level of dependency on main donors is small. This has a positive impact on the sustainability of ICW to be able to continue to advocate for strengthening the people's bargaining position to control the state and participate in decisions to realize democratic governance, free from corruption, with economic, social and gender justice.

Plant-based diets have gained considerable attention for their health and environmental benefits. However, many plant foods contain compounds known as anti-nutrients, which can interfere with nutrient absorption and utilization. This abstract explores the role of essential anti-nutrients in plant-based proteins and their nutritional implications. Common anti-nutrients found in plant-based proteins include phytic acid, lectins, tannins, and oxalates. These compounds can bind to minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium, reducing their bioavailability and potentially leading to nutrient deficiencies. Additionally, some antinutrients may contribute to gastrointestinal discomfort and interfere with overall nutrient absorption. Understanding the nutritional implications of antinutrients is crucial for optimizing the health benefits of plant-based diets. Various food processing methods, including soaking, sprouting, and fermentation, can help reduce antinutrient levels and improve nutrient bioavailability. Diversifying the diet, combining foods strategically, and employing appropriate cooking methods can also mitigate the effects of antinutrients and enhance nutrient absorption from plant-based foods while plant-based proteins offer numerous health advantages, it is essential to consider the presence of antinutrients and adopt strategies to maximize nutrient intake and absorption. By embracing a diverse and balanced approach to plant-based eating and implementing appropriate food processing techniques, individuals can optimize the nutritional quality of their diets and promote overall health and well-being. Plant-based proteins have gained popularity in recent years due to their perceived health benefits and sustainability. However, many plant foods contain compounds known as antinutrients, which can interfere with nutrient absorption and digestion. Understanding the role of these antinutrients and their nutritional implications is essential for optimizing the health benefits of plant-based diets.

Published: August 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted many problems with Canada's older adults (OA) long-term care (LTC) model. The demographic changes in the next two decades require a novel approach to LTC. This study aimed to conduct a focused qualitative systematic review (SR) of the publicly supported LTC models and policies in select advanced economies. The authors used PubMed, Embase, and Medline to conduct an SR following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta‐analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Fully published articles in the English language related to LTC for Germany, Sweden, Australia, Denmark, France, and the Netherlands were included. Predefined data on the LTC models, including eligibility criteria, coverage, funding, and delivery methods, were extracted. Out of 1,682 screened articles/websites, 28 publications, websites, and reports were included. Despite differences in LTC models, there were two primary funding sources for LTC in the selected countries: general tax and LTC insurance. Aligned with the OAs preference, there was an emphasis on providing LTC at home. The care services were need-based and often defined by healthcare professionals or specialized teams. To address the growing number of OAs and to fulfill their needs, the Canadian LTC system requires a major shift to LTC at home and keeping the institutional LTC as the last resource. A sustainable LTC at home also requires a new legislative framework and financial levers.

Abstract. Ammonia (NH3) has major effects on the environment and climate. In situ measurements of NH3 concentrations taken between June 2009 and July 2020 at an urban site in Beijing were analyzed to study its long-term behavior, responses to meteorological conditions, and influences on the formation of secondary inorganic aerosols (SIAs). The 11-year average NH3 mixing ratio was 26.9±19.3 ppb (median 23.5 ppb). The annual average NH3 mixing ratio increased from 2009 to 2017 by 50 % and then decreased by 49 % from 2017 to 2020. Notably, the long-term trend for NH3 at the ground level did not align with the trends derived from satellite observations and emission estimates. The NH3 concentration exhibited a stronger correlation with the daily variation in water vapor (H2O) concentration than with air temperature. Thermodynamic modeling revealed the nonlinear response of SIAs to NH3, with increased sensitivity when its concentration was reduced to 40 % of the initial level. Although reducing NH3 concentrations can improve air quality during winter, controlling acid gas concentrations has a greater effect than controlling NH3 concentrations on reducing SIA concentrations, until NH3 and acidic gas concentrations are reduced below 80 % of their current levels. Nevertheless, the increased mass proportion of ammonium salts in SIAs during the observation period indicates that future control measures for NH3 concentrations may need to be prioritized in Beijing.

Abstract. The optical, physical, and chemical properties of aerosol particles have been previously studied in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but there is still a gap in the knowledge of particle sources and in the horizontal and vertical transport of aerosol particles and their precursors in the area. To investigate how aerosol particle and SO2 concentrations at the surface responded to changes in horizontal and vertical transport, we used data from a 1-year measurement campaign at a background site where local sources of SO2 were expected to be minimal. The measurement campaign provided a combination of in situ measurements at the surface and the boundary layer evolution from vertical and horizontal wind profiles measured by a Doppler lidar. The diurnal structure of the boundary layer in the UAE was very similar from day to day, with a deep, well-mixed boundary layer during the day transitioning to a shallow nocturnal layer, with the maximum boundary layer height usually being reached around 14:00 local time. Both SO2 and nucleation-mode aerosol particle concentrations were elevated for surface winds coming from the east or western sectors. We attribute this to oil refineries located on the eastern and western coasts of the UAE. The concentrations of larger cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)-sized particles and their activation fraction did not show any clear dependence on wind direction, but the CCN number concentration showed some dependence on wind speed, with higher concentrations coinciding with the weakest surface winds. Peaks in SO2 concentrations were also observed despite low surface wind speeds and wind directions unfavourable for transport. However, winds aloft were much stronger, with wind speeds of 10 m s−1 at 1 km common at night and wind directions favourable for transport; surface-measured concentrations increased rapidly once these particular layers started to be entrained into the growing boundary layer, even if the surface wind direction was from a clean sector. These conditions also displayed higher nucleation-mode aerosol particle concentrations, i.e. new particle formation events occurring due to the increase in the gaseous precursor.

Abstract. Aerosol hygroscopic growth and activation under high-relative-humidity (RH) conditions significantly influence the physicochemical properties of submicron aerosols (PM1). However, this process remains poorly characterized due to limited measurements. To address this gap, we deployed an advanced aerosol–fog sampling system that automatically switched between PM1, PM2.5 and total suspended particulate (TSP) inlets at a rural site in the North China Plain in the cold season. The results revealed that aerosol swelling due to water vapor uptake influenced aerosol sampling under high-RH conditions by shifting the cut-off size of impactors. At subsaturated high RH (> 90 %), over 25 % of aerosol mass with dry diameters below 1 µm resided in supermicron ranges, while in supersaturated foggy conditions, more than 70 % of submicron aerosol migrated to supermicron ranges. Hygroscopic growth and activation particularly affected highly hydrophilic inorganic salts, shifting a significant number of submicron sulfate and nitrate particles to supermicron ranges, with 27 %–33 % at 95 % ≤ RH ≤ 99 % and more than 78 % under supersaturated foggy conditions. Moreover, more than 10 % of submicron biomass burning organic aerosols grew beyond 2.5 µm during fog events, while fossil-fuel-related organic aerosol (FFOA) remained dominantly in submicron ranges, suggesting inefficient aqueous conversion of FFOA. The two secondary organic aerosol (SOA) factors (OOA1 and OOA2) behaved differently under supersaturated conditions, with OOA2 exhibiting a higher activated fraction despite a lower oxygen / carbon ratio. A substantial increase in organic nitrate and organosulfur mass concentrations in activated droplets during fog events suggested aqueous conversions and formations of brown carbon with potential radiative impacts. Overall, our study highlights remarkably different cloud and fog processing behaviors between primary and secondary aerosols, which would benefit a better understanding of aerosol–cloud interactions under distinct atmospheric conditions.
