Kawanishi H6K ‘Mavis' and H8K ‘Emily' Units
Authors: Young Edward M.
Published: April 2024

An illustrated account of the little-known operations of the Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force’s flying boat units during World War 2.

Respectively codenamed the ‘Mavis’ and ‘Emily’ by the Allies, Japan’s H6K and H8K flying boats outstripped their RAF and US Navy counterparts. The 1941 outbreak of war in the Pacific and Southeast Asia saw these remarkable aircraft carry out offensive missions across vast tracts of ocean and employ their unique capabilities to escort convoys and serve as transports between Japan’s island bases. However, while the technical details of the H6K and H8K are well known in the West, this important new study marks the first English-language account of their wartime operations.

Utilizing newly translated Japanese war diaries, as well as Allied intelligence and combat reports, celebrated Pacific War expert Edward M. Young reveals the full story behind the Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force’s flying boat units. Contemporary photos and 22 colour profiles bring new dimensions to this fascinating area of Japanese military history, vividly illustrating the pivotal roles of ‘Emily’ and ‘Mavis’ in events including the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway and the fighting in the Aleutians and the Bismarck and Solomon Islands.
The Constitution of South Korea
Authors: Hahm Chaihark
Published: April 2024

The constitutional system of South Korea is a work in progress, and this volume fleshes out and makes intelligible to foreign readers that process within the specific political and historical context of modern South Korea.

The current South Korean Constitution of 1987 is the culmination of decades-long efforts by the South Korean people to achieve democratic self-government. It is the fruition of untold sacrifices made by dedicated citizens who tirelessly fought to rein in the power of the government under some form of constitutional rule. In that sense, it should be understood against the backdrop of South Korea’s experimentation with constitutionalism that began at the turn of the last century. Yet, it also represents a radical break, the beginning of a new era which ended a long political history of ‘constitution without constitutionalism’.

For the first time in the history of the South Korean nation, the constitution has become a living norm rather than an ornament, or a façade, for illegitimate or ineffectual governments. It has proven to be a binding law that matters not only for government leaders but also for private individuals. With the adoption, especially, of a system allowing the adjudication of constitutional issues at an independent court, the people have begun to realise that the constitution can be invoked to protect their rights and advance their interests. As a result, the South Korean Constitutional Court is being stretched to its limits with a great number of cases filed at its docket.

This book is an insightful new addition to Hart's successful series, Constitutional Systems of the World.

Women's Periodicals in the United States
Authors: Lueck Therese
Published: April 2024

Consumer magazines aimed at women are as diverse as the market they serve. Some are targeted to particular age groups, while others are marketed to different socioeconomic groups. These magazines are a reflection of the needs and interests of women and the place of women in American society. Changes in these magazines mirror the changing interests of women, the increased purchasing power of women, and the willingness of advertisers and publishers to reach a female audience.

This reference book is a guide to women's consumer magazines published in the United States. Included are profiles of 75 magazines read chiefly by women. Each profile discusses the publication history and social context of the magazine and includes bibliographical references and a summary of publication statistics. Some of the magazines included started in the 19th century and are no longer published. Others have been available for more than a century, while some originated in the last decade.

Human Trafficking
Authors: Lederer Laura J.
Published: April 2024

Deeply researched and scrupulously even-handed, this work provides readers with a clear and accurate understanding of human trafficking and related issues related to socioeconomic inequality, human rights, and international law. In doing so, it exposes falsehoods, half-truths, and distortions about trafficking that have gained traction in America's political and cultural discourse. When warranted, it also confirms the veracity of other claims about the nature and infrastructure of trafficking networks and the harrowing experiences of women, men, and children trapped in those dehumanizing systems.

Special areas of focus include chapters devoted to quantifying the scope and reach of human trafficking around the world; prosecution and prevention strategies; the experiences of trafficking survivors and the important role they play in anti-trafficking efforts; and the successes and failures of anti-trafficking initiatives carried out by governments and law enforcement agencies around the world.
Women’s Equality in America
Authors: Hendricks Nancy
Published: April 2024

Written in vivid prose and with a keen eye for detail, Women’s Equality in America is a valuable resource for understanding the issues and trends that dominate public discourse in discussions of women’s rights and gender equality in America.

Since its inception, the women’s equality movement in America has been criticized for moving too slowly, moving too quickly, being too demanding, or not being demanding enough. Some of its goals have aroused passionate opposition in those who believed women’s equality contradicted not only basic human biology, but also the word of God. Meanwhile, Americans voice starkly different opinions about where women stand in their quest for equality in American workplaces, classrooms, boardrooms, and homes.

Women’s Equality in America: Examining the Facts presents sensibly organized and accurate summaries of the relevant facts concerning all of these claims and counterclaims. But while the volume is primarily concerned with providing an accurate picture of the state of women’s equality in the 21st century, it also provides vital contextual coverage of major historical turning points and important historical figures, from leaders of the Seneca Falls women’s rights convention in 1848 to the organizers of the #MeToo movement.

The Indians of Central and South America
Authors: Olson James S.
Published: April 2024

At a juncture in history when much interest and attention is focused on Central and South American political, ecological, social, and environmental concerns, this dictionary fills a major gap in reference materials relating to Amerindian tribes. This one-volume reference collects important information about the current status of the indigenous peoples of Central and South America and offers a chronology of the conquest of the Amerindian tribes; a list of tribes by country; and an extensive bibliography of surviving American Indian groups. Historical as well as contemporary descriptions of approximately 500 existing tribes or groups of people are provided along with several bibliographic citations at the conclusion of each entry. The focus of the volume is on those Indian groups that still maintain a sense of tribal identity.

For the vast majority of his entries, James S. Olson draws material from the Smithsonian Institution's seven-volume Handbook of South American Indians as well as other classic resources of a broad, general nature. Much attention is also focused on the complicated question of South American languages and on the definition of what constitutes an Indian. Olson's introduction cites dozens of valuable reference works relating to these topics. Following the introduction, this survey of surviving Amerindians is divided into sections that contain entries for each existing tribe or group; an appendix listing tribes by country; the Amerindian conquest chronology; and a bibliographical essay. This unique reference work should be an important item for most public, college, and university libraries. It will be welcomed by reference librarians, historians, anthropologists, and their students.

Barbara Kingsolver’s World
Authors: Wagner-Martin Linda
Published: April 2024

A revised edition of Linda Wagner-Martin’s comprehensive study of the novels, stories, essays and poetry of American author Barbara Kingsolver. Now updated so that coverage runs from Kingsolver’s first novel, The Bean Trees, through to her most recent, Demon Copperhead.

Author of the only biography of Barbara Kingsolver and of a reader’s guide to The Poisonwood Bible, Wagner-Martin has become the leading authority on this Pulitzer-prize-wining author. Here she covers every work in Kingsolver’s oeuvre, emphasizing the writer’s blend of the scientific method in which she was formally trained with her convincing understanding of the human characters that fill her books.

What Kingsolver achieves throughout all her writing is a seamless blending of the various parts of human existence. She melds important themes through parts and pieces of the natural world—the African snakes, the Monarch butterflies, the coyotes in Deanna Wolfe’s existence. Repeatedly Kingsolver writes to create both characters and the characters’ worlds, bringing all these pieces into masterful, and whole, realities.

This edition includes two new chapters - one on her 2018 novel, Unsheltered, and the second on her 2022 novel, Demon Copperhead - and is the first study of Kingsolver to publish since she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2023.

Sedimentary organic matter signature hints at the phytoplankton-driven Biological Carbon Pump in the Central Arabian Sea
Authors: Pandey Medhavi , Biswas Haimanti , Birgel Daniel , Burdanowitz Nicole , Gaye Birgit
Published: April 2024

Abstract. The Central Arabian Sea, a unique tropical basin is profoundly impacted by monsoon wind reversal affecting its surface circulation and biogeochemistry. Phytoplankton bloom associated with high biological productivity and particle flux occurs in the northern part of the central Arabian Sea due to summer monsoon-induced open ocean upwelling and winter convection. The core Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) at the intermediate water depths is another important feature of the north-central Arabian Sea and fades southward. In this study, we have attempted to interlink how these factors collectively impact phytodetrital export to the sediment. Short sediment core top (1 cm) samples representing the recent particle flux signatures were analyzed from 5 locations (21° to 11° N; 64° E) in the central Arabian Sea. The C37 alkenone-based sea surface temperature (SST) proxy indicated cooler SST (27.6 ± 0.25 °C) in the north mostly due to upwelling (summer) and convective mixing (winter) and warmer (0.4 °C) in the south, which usually remains nutrient-poor. This trend was consistent with the satellite-derived average SST values (2017–2020). Lipid biomarker analysis suggested that dinoflagellates were the highest contributor as indicated in dinosterol and its degradative product dinostanol followed by brassicasterol, and C37 alkenone representing diatoms, and coccolithophores, respectively. The stations in the north (21–15° N) that largely experience periodic phytoplankton blooms and is influenced by the thick OMZ revealed the highest contents of organic matter, diatom frustules (diversity and abundance) dominated by large thickly silicified cells (e.g. Coscinodiscus and Rhizosolenia), and phytoplankton organic biomarkers, but lower zooplankton biomarkers (cholesterol and cholestanol). Whereas relatively smaller chain-forming centric (e.g. Thalassiosira) and pennate (e.g. Pseudo-nitzschia, Nitzschia, Thalassionema) diatom frustules along with lower phytoplankton biomarker contents were found in the south where zooplankton biomarkers and silicious radiolarians were more abundant. The probable impacts of the presence of the OMZ along the sampling transect on particle flux related to the phytoplankton community, zooplankton grazing along with other factors have also been discussed.
Low-load Resistance Exercise with Perceptually Primed Practical Blood Flow Restriction Induces Similar Motor Performance Fatigue, Physiological Changes, and Perceptual Responses Compared to Traditional Blood Flow Restriction in Males and Females
Authors: Bielitzki Robert , Behrendt Tom , Behrens Martin , Malczewski Victoria , Mittlmeier Thomas , Schega Lutz
Published: April 2024

In the recent past, practical blood flow restriction (pBFR) using non-pneumatic, usually elastic cuffs has been established as a cost-effective alternative to traditional blood flow restriction (BFR) using pneumatic cuffs, especially for training in large groups. This study investigated whether low-load resistance exercise with perceptually primed pBFR using an elastic knee wrap is suitable to induce similar motor performance fatigue as well as physiological and perceptual responses compared to traditional BFR using a pneumatic nylon cuff in males and females. In a randomized, counterbalanced cross-over study, 30 healthy subjects performed 4 sets (30-15-15-15 repetitions) of unilateral knee extensions at 20% of their one-repetition-maximum. In the pBFR condition, each individual was perceptually primed to a BFR pressure corresponding to 60% of their arterial occlusion pressure. Before and after exercise, maximal voluntary torque, maximal muscle activity, and cuff pressure-induced discomfort were assessed. Moreover, physiological (i.e., muscle activity, muscle oxygenation) and perceptual responses (i.e., effort and exercise-induced leg muscle pain) were recorded during exercise. Moderate correlations with no differences between pBFR and BFR were found regarding the decline in maximal voluntary torque and maximal muscle activity. Furthermore, no to very strong correlations between conditions, with no differences, were observed for muscle activity, muscle oxygenation, and perceptual responses during exercise sets. However, cuff pressure-induced discomfort was lower in the pBFR compared to the BFR condition. These results indicate that low-load resistance exercise combined with perceptually primed pBFR is a convenient and less discomfort inducing alternative to traditional BFR. This is especially relevant for BFR training with people who have a low cuff-induced discomfort tolerance.

Kelemahan dari sistem manual ini yaitu dari segi keefektifan jarak, waktu, dan tenaga karena pengguna tidak bisa mengontrol perangkat elektronik dimanapun dan kapanpun ia berada. Selain itu, pemborosan energi juga dapat terjadi pada sistem manual ini karena pengguna tidak bisa memantau langsung bagaimana kondisi perangkat elektronik di rumahnya. Dari permasalahan tersebut maka sistem smart home yang dibangun diatas Firebase dan MIT App Inventor sebagai cloud dan perancangan user interface yang akan berkomunikasi pada tiap mikrokontroler yang terpasang di setiap ruangan. Sistem ini akan menghubungkan android dengan NodeMCU yang terhubung ke perangkat elektronik sehingga menciptakan sebuah sistem kendali dengan memanfaatkan voice recognition yang merupakan salah satu metode dalam home automation yang mudah digunakan dan banyak diminati. Dari hasil pembahasan diperoleh bahwa sistem aplikasi serta alat untuk sistem smart home yang dapat dikendalikan dari jarak jauh secara realtime, serta dapat digunakan untuk pemantauan status on/off perangkat elektronik dengan tingkat keberhasilan alat sebesar 100% sehingga mengurangi adanya pemborosan.

En Europe, en Amérique et en Asie, la recherche sur les usages des technologies numériques éducatives et leurs contributions à l’enseignement et l’apprentissage a été florissante, tandis qu’en Afrique subsaharienne, la recherche, excepté quelques rares études en sciences de l’éducation, a longtemps délaissé ces usages. La littérature met en évidence des lacunes en termes d’accès au matériel et d’intérêt pour certains dispositifs techniques. La technologie la plus adoptée reste le téléphone portable qui fait l’objet d’usages personnels et scolaires (Maïdakouale et Fagadé, 2022). Cette étude vise à soutenir l’intégration des technologies numériques éducatives chez une population jeune disposant déjà de compétences numériques non formelles. Nous étudions les logiques sociales structurant les usages qui, eux-mêmes, les façonnent (Paquienséguy, 2012). Aussi, mettons-nous en évidence les « nouvelles » sociabilités scolaires que ces usages apportent. Comme le soulignent Leveratto et Leontsini (2008), l’intérêt pour les usages éducatifs d’Internet nécessite également d’explorer ses dimensions ludiques et sociales, puisque la disponibilité sociale détermine l’engagement personnel dans l’usage intensif. Nous avons utilisé des méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives pour enquêter auprès de 292 étudiants au Burkina Faso, au Gabon et au Niger, pays de l’Afrique subsaharienne. Nous montrons que des facteurs sociotechniques participent à accompagner, dans l’ombre, la révolution numérique dans ces universités.

Model technological solutions for ensuring the quality of products during turning processing are proposed. A study of the workability of materials based on the ISO classification was carried out. To clarify the workability group, the MS code system was used, which allowed not only to clarify the workability group and the terms of delivery of the workpiece, but also to determine the specific cutting force. Based on the classifier-handbook, the parameters of the prefabricated cutting tool were selected and the technological modes for the prescribed processing conditions were determined. Based on the obtained specific cutting force, an algorithm for simplified determination of the cutting force is implemented. A study of the vibrations of the technological machining system was performed, which made it possible to formulate dynamic models for the system as a whole, subsystems of the workpiece and cutting tool. In relation to the dynamic model of the workpiece subsystem. The model has been simplified. A dynamic cutting characteristic was constructed, which made it possible to build an autonomous dynamic model of the technological system. In relation to this model, parameterization was performed, which made it possible to determine the stiffness coefficients of the fixed workpiece, as well as the inertia and dissipation coefficients. In relation to the selected processing conditions, the accuracy and roughness of the treated surface were checked. A study of the stability of the technological system of mechanical processing based on the algebraic Hurwitz criterion is carried out. In the general formulation, the Hurwitz determinant and stability conditions are obtained. The performed complex of calculations showed that the conditions determined by the Hurwitz stability criterion are met. This indicates that when processing in the selected modes, quiet cutting is carried out, which ensures the requirements for the quality of the product. The construction of the stability boundary can be performed in the space of variable technological parameters using the D-partitioning method or based on the R. Loeb algorithm. As a result of constructing the stability boundary in the space of variable parameters, the area of permissible technological modes is highlighted, which is the basis for solving the problem of processing control in accordance with the formed efficiency criteria. The complex of technological solutions presented in the article was deployed and implemented in relation to the turning of coating discs, as well as discs of turbines and compressors of gas turbine engines.

The paper deals with condition of global stiffness matrices of regular mesh of finite elements. The estimation from above the greatest eigenvalue of such matrix offeres. The estimation is under construction on a local stiffness matrix of any finite element, hence, depends only from the size and the form of such element and does not depend on quantity of the final elements making a regular grid. At estimation construction the Gerschgorin’s theorem and that fact are used that local matrixes of rigidity of final elements of regular grids differ from each other only shift of blocks. On a numerical example it is shown that the constructed estimation possesses split-hair accuracy and at a considerable quantity of the elements entering into a grid, it is possible to consider it almost coinciding with the greatest own number. The behaviour of an estimation is shown at change of quality of the form of final elements.
