Authors: Ferreira Junior Edinaldo Inocêncio , Santos Neto José Guedes dos , Lindoso Eduardo Arival
Published: July 2024

Este artigo aplica a lógica fuzzy na avaliação dos indicadores de desempenho ambiental relacionados à gestão da água em projetos de construção sustentável. A metodologia envolve a definição de variáveis linguísticas para cada indicador, a construção dos conjuntos fuzzy e aplicação da lógica fuzzy para avaliar e tomar decisões com base nesses indicadores. Resultados mostram que a abordagem fuzzy permite lidar com a incerteza e subjetividade na avaliação dos indicadores ambientais. A fuzzyficação e inferência fuzzy possibilitaram avaliar o nível de realização de cada indicador de desempenho na gestão da água, considerando diferentes níveis de eficiência e medidas sustentáveis. A defuzzyficação dos resultados gerou valores numéricos úteis para a tomada de decisões e a comparação com outros métodos de avaliação. A justificativa para o estudo é a necessidade de abordagens mais flexíveis e abrangentes na avaliação do desempenho ambiental em construção sustentável, devido à complexidade e subjetividade dos aspectos ambientais. A lógica fuzzy oferece visão mais completa e precisa da gestão da água, identificando áreas de melhoria e orientando práticas mais sustentáveis. As conclusões destacam a eficácia da abordagem fuzzy na avaliação dos indicadores ambientais na gestão da água em projetos de construção sustentável. Lógica fuzzy proporciona flexibilidade e capacidade de representação dos diferentes níveis de realização, tornando-se uma ferramenta valiosa para a tomada de decisões e monitoramento ambiental contínuo. Este estudo evidencia a importância e os benefícios da lógica na avaliação de indicadores ambientais, mostrando sua aplicabilidade e relevância para a melhoria contínua da sustentabilidade em projetos de construção.

Authors: Takahashi Thaisa Costa Vergilio , Machado Marcio Cardoso , Duarte Cleber Gaspar Correa , Martens Mauro Luiz
Published: July 2024

A pandemia da COVID-19 demonstrou-se radicalmente diferente, complexa e abrangente quando comparada com outras crises e pandemias dos últimos 100 anos; afetando diretamente a cadeia de abastecimento global e causando graves disrupções, tensões e conflitos nas relações entre empresas e levando, muitas vezes, ao surgimento de ações oportunistas. Diversos artigos exploraram o oportunismo na cadeia de suprimento por diferentes prismas. Alguns discutem as consequências das ações oportunistas, outros apresentam formas de mitigação de ações oportunistas e alguns exploram os fatores que levam a ações oportunistas. Nesse contexto, esse artigo cria um modelo teórico de análise da relação entre sete variáveis da TCT que trataremos como independentes e uma variável dependente “oportunismo”. No tocante ao processo de aquisição de materiais dentro do contexto pandêmico. A partir desse framework teórico, levantamos dez hipóteses, as quais servirão para testar e validar uma proposta ao problema investigado de forma empírica a fim de servir como orientação na busca de evidências. Além de contribuir com as práticas gerenciais e uso de salvaguardas, o estudo traz uma contribuição teórica na literatura de rede de suprimentos ao desenvolver um framework que associa variáveis de custos de transação ao comportamento oportunista dos fornecedores.

The eight soil profiles of ber–growing orchards in different locations, viz., Bhurthla (P1), Zahidpur (P2), Boriya Kamalpur (P3), Lodhana exposed (P4), Khaliawas (P5), Jiwra (P6), Rajawas (P7), and Regional Research Station, Bawal (P8) of Rewari district were exposed, and their morphological, physicochemical characteristics were studied, and soils were classified. For this purpose, visual interpretation of IRS–P6 satellite imagery (FCC) at 1:50000 scale was collected to prepare the base map of the study area. Then soil samples in each horizon of the soil profile were collected after performing ground truth. The soil of surface horizons varied from coarsely weak single–grained to moderately weak granular, but the soil of subsurface horizons varied from coarsely structureless single–grained to medium weak subangular blocky in structure. Bulk density varied from 1.33–1.59 Mg m–3 and the soil water content varied from 5.89–9.11 at 0.03 MPa and 1.50–5.5 MPa at 1.5 MPa. The soil reaction of the pedons varied from neutral (pH 7.3) to alkaline (pH 9.23), and the soil was non–saline and soil organic carbon varied from 0.07–0.78%.  The exchangeable cations Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and K+ were 0.40–5.60, 0.20–3.12, 0.10– 1.56, and 0.01–0.10 cmol(P+) kg–1. The soils of the study area were sandy, mixed, Hyperthermic, Typic Ustipsamments for Pedon 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8; whereas Pedon 4 was sandy mixed (calcareous) hyperthermic Typic Ustipsamments and Pedon 5 was coarse sandy mixed (calcareous) hyperthermic Fluventic Ustipsamments.

Published: July 2024

Surface vertical line segment source is suitable for applying irrigation water to deep rooted plantations. Wetted front advance in horizontal and vertical direction are required for deciding the spacing between emitters, drip laterals and depth of water application. Shape of wetted soil mass in combination of average change in volumetric moisture content as single soil input parameter has led to develop simple models for predicting wetted front advance. Two mathematical models namely Moving Cylinder Model and Cylinder with Hemispheroid Model were developed to describe wetted front advance under surface vertical line segment source water flow geometry. The developed models were tested with sand tank model data especially for lateral and vertical advances of wetted fronts. The values of predicted wetted front radii and depths compared closely with the observed wetted front radii and depths with average percent deviations of 2.47% and 4.84% for Moving Cylinder Model and 2.78% and 7.44% for Cylinder with Hemispheroid Model once the flow geometry is fully developed. Advantage of the models is that they require average change in volumetric moisture content as basic soil input parameter, which is quite easy to determine under field conditions. The developed model may be satisfactorily used for field application in normal as well as salt affected soils.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: The use of traditional medicines derived from the active ingredients of several types of plants is preferred by the community in treating several types of diseases. One of the plants that has been used by the community as medicine is purple leaves with the Latin name Grapthophylum pictum (L.) Griff. These leaves are traditionally used to treat rheumatism, menstruation, hemorrhoids, urinary tract infections, scabies, swelling, wounds, dermatitis, ear diseases, laxatives, and cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the total levels of secondary metabolites from purple leaf extract ethanol (PLEE) and evaluate the effect of administering PLEE on acute toxicity (LD50) in Wistar rats.
Methods: This research is a laboratory experiment with a post test only controlled group design. The research subjects were 20 male Wistar rats, divided into 1 control group and 3 treatment groups, each consisting of 5 rats. The control group only received distilled water, the Treatment I group (P1) was given a suspension of the purple leaf extract test preparation at a dose of 500 mg/kg. Treatment group II (P2), received a suspension of the test preparation at a dose of 2,000 mg/kg, while Treatment group III (P3) received a suspension of the test preparation at a high dose of 5,000 mg/kg of mice. The test preparation was given orally with only one administration at the beginning of the research period and observation was carried out for 14 days. Data was obtained if the rats died after being given treatment.
Results: The results showed that the total secondary metabolite content of purple leaves was alkaloids (24,725.99 mg/g), saponins (89.191 mg/g), flavonoids (6.332 mg/g) and tannins (0.884 mg/g), while based on toxicity the PLEE classification was mildly toxic with an LD50 value of 3,890 mg/kg in accordance with BPOM RI's acute toxicity potential at toxicity level 4 (oral LD50 500 – 5,000 mg/kg).
Conclusion: PLEE showed the highest total content of secondary metabolites in alkaloids, and consumption of PLEE in high doses caused the death of rats with a mild toxic classification.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Early childhood nutrition is a fundamental determinant of optimal growth and development. The study aimed to evaluate how mothers provide complementary feeding (CF) to infants and young children aged 6–23 months. It explored factors influencing the adoption of safe and hygienic CF practices recommended by the WHO and Infant and Child Feeding Guidelines.
Methods: A non-experimental quantitative approach surveyed 1125 mothers across 28 districts/cities. Reliability was assessed using composite reliability (?_c), ensuring reliability threshold (?0.7) was met. Although most constructs comprised single items, they were deemed reliable.
Results: Findings indicated that being the first child didn't significantly impact maternal understanding of CF (?=0.034, p=0.215) or adherence to safe CF practices (?=-0.001, p=0.307). Maternal employment status also showed no significant influence on CF knowledge (?=0.022, p=0.492) or safe CF practices (?=-0.01, p=0.568). However, maternal education significantly affected CF knowledge (?=0.060, p<.001) and safe CF practices (?=-0.030, p=0.004).
Conclusion: In essence, higher maternal education levels correlated with better understanding of CF, thereby indirectly promoting safe and hygienic CF preparation.

A incompatibilidade entre as comemorações do golpe militar de 1964, o Estado democrático de direito e a justiça de transição
Authors: Silva Thayná Cristina da , Barberato Celso
Published: July 2024

O presente artigo traz uma análise das comemorações do golpe militar de 1964 ocorridas no Brasil sob a ótica do Estado Democrático de Direito e da Justiça de Transição, mediante o emprego do método hipotético-dedutivo de Karl R. Popper e a coleta de dados junto à literatura científica. A pesquisa é norteada pela seguinte pergunta: “Em que medida as comemorações do golpe militar de 1964 podem ultrapassar o legítimo exercício da liberdade de expressão, atentando contra a Justiça de Transição?”, e possui relevância prática e atual uma vez que pretende contribuir para a construção de entendimentos mais equânimes sobre o tema por parte do Poder Judiciário, a fim de resguardar os fundamentos do regime democrático e a segurança jurídica. Desse modo, o objetivo geral consistiu em verificar se as manifestações favoráveis ao golpe militar de 1964, especificamente, as comemorações, excedem os limites da liberdade de expressão, de forma a violar os fundamentos do Estado Democrático de Direito e a Justiça de Transição, e os objetivos específicos em delimitar as restrições incumbidas ao direito à liberdade de expressão, definir o campo de seu legítimo exercício, e analisar as espécies de manifestações favoráveis ao golpe militar. Ao final, concluiu-se que as manifestações favoráveis ao golpe de 1964 ultrapassaram os limites da liberdade de expressão, por serem contrárias à coletividade e aos fundamentos do Estado Democrático de Direito, bem como representaram ameaças concretas ao direito à verdade, à memória e aos demais elementos da Justiça de Transição.
Long-acting insulin analogues. Drug selection by means of the System of Objectified Judgement Analysis (SOJA)
Authors: Janknegt Robert , Dankers Marloes
Published: July 2024

Study objectives: The increasing number of long-acting insulin analogues makes it difficult for general practitioners to have sufficient knowledge of each individual insulin formulation and device. Reducing the number of different insulin analogues used, based on rational criteria, allows physicians and pharmacists to build experience with a more limited set of medicines and to optimize patient information. The costs of newer formulations also need to be considered. Methods: In this study long-acting insulin analogues are compared by means of the System of Objectified Judgement Analysis (SOJA) method. The following selection criteria were applied: effectiveness, safety, tolerability, ease of use, and applicability. Concrete sub-criteria for each selection criteria were defined. Results and Conclusions: We found almost identical scores for the long-acting insulin analogues. Therefore, acquisition cost and individual patient characteristics should be used to determine the choice of formulary products. Glargine 100 IU/mL (biosimilar or originator) is the cheapest option in most cases. It should be noted that ‘good old’ Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin is still a good treatment option from a formulary perspective NPH insulin is also likely to be cheaper than biosimilar glargine in most countries.
Dileme oko titule vojvode u srednjovjekovnoj Bosni
Authors: Kurtović Esad
Published: July 2024

Dosadašnja znanja o vojvodskoj tituli u srednjovjekovnoj Bosni počivaju na nedovoljno izgrađenim i potvrđenim podrazumijevanjima, ponekad i paralelama iz bolje istraženih susjednih područja. U dosad ponuđenom prepoznaju se određeni izrazi logičnosti i uobičajenosti. Bilo je i usputnih pokušaja da se logičnost i uobičajenost predstave kao odrazi zakonitosti koja se poštivala u srednjovjekovnoj Bosni. Ipak, nije bilo zasebnih i detaljnijih pristupa koji bi analizom više primjera prezentirali sistemsko praćenje s mogućim devijacijama koje sa sobom nose ustaljeni sistemi. Sav dostupan izvorni materijal nije bio predmetom zasebne obrade na bosanskim primjerima. S obzirom na njegovu širinu to nije učinjeno ni na ovom mjestu. Na sljedećim stranicama dat je prilog koji može opravdati takva šira buduća sagledavanja.
Millstones from Kale in Krševica (Southeastern Serbia)
Authors: Popović Petar , Kapuran Aleksandar
Published: July 2024

The site Kale is situated in the village Krševica about ten kilometers to the east of Bujanovac. The small-scale excavations in 1966 indicated that it is an outstanding site but large-scale excavations have been resumed only in 2001. Soon it became clear that substantial remains of the settlement covering around 4 hectares and dating from the end of Classical and the beginning of the Hellenistic period are lying on a dominant elevation above the Južna (South) Morava valley. Despite the fact that just small portion of the site has been investigated so far, it was possible, after the works carried out between 2001 and 2007, to gain general impression about the appearance of this relatively large and well organized settlement. Few building horizons with various structures creating the acropolis were encountered on the plateau. A complex with buildings and other structures that were protected by the rampart and broad trench with an earthen barrow existed on the central section of the plateau in the latest horizon. On the basis of many obtained data the largest part of the settlement was located on the smaller terraces on the northeastern slope descending towards the Krševica River valley. At the foothill was discovered rather large complex with ramparts made of massive ashlars, stone platforms, building and many other structures that was identified as ‘hydrotechnical complex’ because of its specific purpose. The reason is that there are water springs at many spots in the lower layers so the excavations were possible only with the pumps to drain the water . All this indicate that this important segment of the settlement was associated with the problem of supply and regulation of water.

Published: July 2024

Quantitative measurement is essential for modern bioreactor synthesis, which plays a crucial role in the production of foods and pharmaceuticals. These complex processes rely on living organisms, and require fast, high-performing inline analytics for effective process control and intervention. In this study, a glycerol-fed, lab-scale E. coli bioprocess producing representative pharmaceutical compounds was monitored offline with a portable, high-sensitivity Raman spectrometer. Sampling and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis provided the ground truth calibration for a chemometric model developed using an easy-to-use, built-for-Raman chemometric software package. The chemometric model developed demonstrates the ability of this approach to offer spectroscopic prediction of feedstock, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), and side product concentrations. This specific combination of compact spectrometer and AI-driven analysis software opens the door for the application of real-time, continuous, and non-invasive Raman spectroscopy in bioprocess monitoring, even for users without prior chemometric or Raman experience.

Published: July 2024

The distributed generation has great importance for the availability of the National Electrical of Power. For its nature, must change the conception of the maintenance procedures in relation to the traditionally used in the conventional substations, which is why the step for its realization should be well conceived and well justified. Since this consideration, the analysis is directed toward the diagnosis and maintenance of the cells of the substation of the group of generation with fuel oil HYUNDAI of 40 MW. At the present, there is not a procedure to accomplish this activity, and actions applied to the substations of exteriors are used. After of studies developed in front of frequent damages that have compromised the service and provoked damages to the equipment’s of the cells, a methodology for the diagnosis and the maintenance management to this type of substations is proposed.
Longfellow's Imaginative Engagement
Authors: Hotz Jeffrey
Published: July 2024

Longfellow’s Imaginative Engagement is a first-of-its-kind study of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s late-career poems and biography from 1861 until 1882, covering the poet’s posthumous publications and the handling of his literary estate. Using never-before-discussed archival materials from Harvard’s Houghton Library and the Longfellow House–Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site, including unpublished poems and poem fragments, this literary biography presents Longfellow’s vibrant and complex final two decades. After the tragic death of his beloved second wife, Frances (Fanny) Elizabeth Appleton, Longfellow reinvented himself as a creative artist, transforming his loss and the nation’s suffering in the Civil War and postwar period into compelling art. In this book, Jeffrey Hotz interprets the distinct phases of Longfellow’s late career, exploring his narrative poetry, translations, personal lyrics, religious poetry, aesthetic verse, and end-of-life vision of mortality as a journey. He considers Longfellow’s friendships and family life, publication strategies and literary reputation, and the recurrent theme of longing for an ideal female figure in his poems and private life. Interweaving unpublished poems and poem fragments with interpretations of published collections, Longfellow’s Imaginative Engagement examines the poet’s complex voice, which captured the public’s imagination, making him America’s most famous poet in the nineteenth century.
Diplomacy in Postwar British Literature and Culture
Authors: Krzakowski Caroline Zoe
Published: July 2024

In Diplomacy in Postwar British Literature and Culture, Krzakowski examines how representations of British envoys—diplomats, officials, and spies— in fiction and non-fiction by Rebecca West, Lawrence Durrell, Olivia Manning, and John le Carré, as well as in the films of Alfred Hitchcock respond to the political instability of the postwar period. This study argues that the rise of international relations in the twentieth century shaped modern British fiction and film, and offers a new way to trace the continuities between geopolitics and British cultural production in the aftermath of the Second World War.
Thomas North's 1555 Travel Journal
Authors: McCarthy Dennis , Schlueter June
Published: July 2024

Thomas North’s 1555 Travel Journal: From Italy to Shakespeare makes available a little known early modern journal kept by a member of Queen Mary’s delegation to Rome, its purpose to win papal approval of England’s return to Roman Catholicism. The book provides details of the six-month journey, a discussion of the manuscript, and an identification of the twenty-year-old Thomas North as its author. It also points to numerous connections between the journal and the plays of Shakespeare, extending the playwright’s debt beyond North’s translation of Plutarch’s Lives and revealing how the journal served as a template for The Winter’s Tale and Henry VIII. Both, the authors argue, were written by North during the Marian years (1554-58) and later adapted by Shakespeare. Like the authors’ 2018 “A Brief Discourse of Rebellion and Rebels” by George North,this book presents original work using digital research tools, including massive databases and plagiarism software. The earlier book garnered worldwide attention, with a front-page story in The New York Times.

Pedro de Alfaro and the Struggle for Power in the Globalized Pacific, 1565-1644
Authors: Dean Ikemoto Ashleigh
Published: July 2024

Pedro de Alfaro and the Struggle for Power in the Globalized Pacific, 1565–1644 tells the compelling story of Pedro de Alfaro, a Spanish Franciscan whose clandestine 1579 mission to Ming China collapsed amid accusations of illegal entry and espionage, culminating in his death at sea in 1580 after being expelled from both mainland China and the Portuguese enclave at Macau. This mission, generally regarded as a failure by historians, actually marked a turning point in the development of early modern trans-imperial relations between Spain and China. Alfaro's report on the true size of China and the state of its military infrastructure, the first to come from a Spaniard with more than a few weeks' experience in the Ming Empire, reversed several years of unofficial Spanish plans for a conquest of China. This turn away from an armed invasion occurred precisely at the same time the Ming revised their tax code, drastically increasing the demand for Spanish silver, setting the stage for a relatively stable balance of power across the Pacific Ocean. For the next two centuries, this balance of power remained uneasily in place, allowing the development of a stable Pacific World, the final link in the development of early modern globalization.
Stolen Motherhood
Authors: Payne Anne Maree
Published: July 2024

The removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families gained national attention in Australia following the Bringing Them Home Report in 1997. However, the voices of Indigenous parents were largely missing from the Report. The Inquiry attributed their lack of testimony to the impact of trauma and the silencing impact of parents’ overwhelming sense of guilt and despair; a submission by Link-Up NSW commented on Aboriginal mothers being “unwilling and unable to speak about the immense pain, grief and anguish that losing their children had caused them.”

This book explores what happened to Aboriginal mothers who had children removed and why they have overwhelmingly remained silent about their experiences. Identifying the structural barriers to Aboriginal mothering in the Stolen Generations era, the author examines how contemporary laws, policies and practices increased the likelihood of Aboriginal child removal and argues that negative perceptions of Aboriginal mothering underpinned removal processes, with tragic consequences. This book makes an important contribution to understanding the history of the Stolen Generations and highlights the importance of designing inclusive truth-telling processes that enable a diversity of perspectives to be shared.
Ground in Stone
Authors: Lynch Elizabeth
Published: July 2024

In Ground in Stone: Landscape, Social Identity, and Ritual Space on the High Plains, Elizabeth Lynch examines the insights and challenges of bedrock ground stone research in archaeological inquiry. Ground in Stone includes analyses of case studies to illustrate field data collection techniques as well as the rich social lives of ground in stone on the Chaquaqua Plateau. Lynch argues that the bedrock features in southeastern Colorado offer valuable insight into the archaeology of the High Plains because they are spaces where people gathered to craft important products—food, tools, and art. In doing so, these places anchored human movement to the landscape and became integral to story-telling and cultural lifeways.
Re-Membering the Reign of God
Authors: Gandolfo Elizabeth O'Donnell , Potter Laurel Marshall
Published: July 2024

What does it mean for an historically colonial church to become the “church of the poor” in a world marked by pervasive and persistent coloniality? Re-membering the Reign of God addresses this question through historical and theological reflection on the decolonial evolution of El Salvador’s ecclesial base communities (CEBs) in their own particular context of coloniality and prophetic hope. The CEBs’ witness represents a rich locus for decolonizing theology and challenging the whole church to join the church of the poor in its prophetic praxis of decolonial solidarity.
God, Race, and History
Authors: Jantzen Matt R.
Published: July 2024

In crafting racial visions of the modern world, European thinkers appropriated the Christian doctrine of providence, constructing the idea of European humanity’s rule over the globe on the model of God’s rule over the universe. As a powerful ordering theory of the relationship between God and creation, time and space, self and other, the doctrine served as an intellectual framework for the theorization of whiteness, as the male European subject replaced Jesus Christ as the human being at the center of world history. Through an analysis of the work of G.W.F. Hegel, Karl Barth, and James H. Cone, God, Race, and History examines this subversion of the Christian doctrine of providence, as well as subsequent attempts within modern Protestant theology to liberate the doctrine from its captivity to whiteness. It then develops a constructive political theology of providence in conversation with Delores S. Williams and M. Shawn Copeland, discerning Jesus Christ at work through the Holy Spirit in the struggles of ordinary, overlooked, and oppressed human creatures to survive and to carve out a flourishing life for themselves, their communities, and their world.
Francophone Sephardic Fiction
Authors: Roumani Judith
Published: July 2024

Francophone Sephardic Fiction:Writing Migration, Diaspora, and Modernity approaches modern Sephardic literature in a comparative way to draw out similarities and differences among selected francophone novelists from various countries, with a focus on North Africa. The definition of Sepharad here is broader than just Spain: it embraces Jews whose ancestors had lived in North Africa for centuries, even before the arrival of Islam, and who still today trace their allegiance to ways of being Jewish that go back to Babylon, as do those whose ancestors spent a few hundred years in Iberia. The author traces the strong influence of oral storytelling on modern novelists of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and explores the idea of the portable homeland, as exile and migration engulfed the long-rooted Sephardic communities. The author also examines diaspora concepts, how modernity and post-modernity threatened traditional ways of life, and how humor and an active return into history for the novel have done more than mere nostalgia could to enliven the portable homeland of modern francophone Sephardic fiction.
Dewey and the Aesthetic Unconscious
Authors: Henning Bethany
Published: July 2024

John Dewey was the most celebrated and publicly engaged American philosopher in the twentieth century. His naturalistic theory of “experience” generated new approaches to education and democracy and re-grounded philosophy’s search for truth in the needs of life as it is shared and lived. However, interpretations of Dewey after the linguistic turn have either obscured or rejected the considerable role that he gives to the non-discursive dimension of experience. In Dewey and the Aesthetic Unconscious: The Vital Depths of Experience, Bethany Henning argues that much classical American philosophy implicitly recognizes an unconscious dimension of mind that is distinct from Freud’s theory. Although the unconscious that emerges within American thought has never been treated systematically, it found its fullest expression in Dewey’s work, particularly in his theory of aesthetic experience. This dimension of mind illuminates the continuity between nature and culture, and it provides us with an account of why artwork is often successful at communicating meanings from the ecological and intimate dimensions of life, where discourse often fails. If the relationship between the human and the organic world has emerged as the definitive question of twenty-first century life, then the aesthetic unconscious stands as a resource for our ecological and intimate well-being.
Trauma and Resilience in Holocaust Memoir
Authors: Birnbaum Shira
Published: July 2024

Through narrative analysis of the memoirs of six holocaust survivors from a single extended family, Trauma and Resilience in Holocaust Memoir: Strategies of Self-Preservation and Inter-Generational Encounter with Narrative examines strategies of self-preservation of young people exposed to violence and persecution at different ages and life stages. Through the lens of studying resilience in child development, this book describes the striking diversity of holocaust-era experiences and traces the arc of a remarkable global diaspora. Birnbaum argues that stories from the past can enhance understanding of the internal lives of today’s young refugees and survivors of violent conflict. Exploring the socio-politics of narrative and memory, this book considers the ways that children of holocaust survivors may honor the past while also allowing a new generation to engage family history in a conversation with contemporary concerns.
The Insurgency of the Spirit
Authors: Shore-Goss Robert E.
Published: July 2024

The Insurgency of the Spirit taps mutli-disciplinary methodologies of post-colonial biblical scholarship and anthropology, liberation theologies, indigenous studies, grief/trauma research, and nature-meditation writings to shape a constructive retrieval of the animist Jesus. The vision that emerges is one that sets forward an Earth-loving Jesus who challenges Christians in particular to mobilize against the destructive relationship that exists between imperial religion and political systems.
Connection to Nature, Deep Ecology, and Conservation Social Science
Authors: Diehm Christian
Published: July 2024

In Connection to Nature, Deep Ecology, and Conservation Social Science: Human-Nature Bonding and Protecting the Natural World , Christian Diehm analyzes the relevance of the philosophy of deep ecology to contemporary discussions of human-nature connectedness. Focusing on deep ecologists’ notion of “identification” with nature, Diehm argues that deep ecological theory is less conceptually problematic than is sometimes thought, and offers valuable insights into what a sense of connection to nature entails, what its attitudinal and behavioral effects might be, and how it might be nurtured and developed. This book is closely informed by, and engages at length with, conservation social science, which Diehm draws on to assess the claims of deep ecology theorists, resolve long-standing problems associated with their work, investigate the impacts of time outdoors on human-nature bonding, and critically review the biophilia hypothesis. Emphasizing the foundational role of ecologically-inclusive identities in pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors, Diehm demonstrates that having a sense of connection to nature is more important than many environmental advocates have realized, and that deep ecology has much to add to the increasingly pressing conversations about it.
