Authors: ZALOTI FÁBIA ANTUNES , SANTOS PABLO SANTANA , CARDOSO DÁRIA MARIA CORDEIRO
Published: February 2024

O município de Lauro de Freitas teve uma ocupação acelerada, entre os anos 1970 e 1980, muito influenciada pela proximidade com a capital, Salvador, e a cidade de Camaçari, principalmente depois da descoberta de petróleo em 1959. A partir desses fatores, as alterações na cobertura vegetal e no uso da terra| foram significativas para Lauro de Freitas, sendo que, após a implantação da Via Metropolitana, as mudanças poderão intensificar-se. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo tem como finalidade a comparação da estimativa da Temperatura de Superfície Terrestre (TST) e do Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (NDVI) com imagens do satélite Landsat 8 e 9 para os anos de 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 e 2022. Essa análise objetiva verificar as mudanças resultantes da redução da cobertura vegetal e os acréscimos na tempetarua de superfície na área analisada ao longo desses anos. Os resultados apresentaram um acréscimo nas temperaturas mínimas e máximas, de 6ºC e 2ºC, respectivamente, entre 2020 e 2022, que pode ser atribuído ao adensamento das áreas edificadas em substituição à cobertura vegetal e ao uso da terra ao longo da via, ocorrida no período pesquisado. Na análise dos bairros Itinga, em Salvador, Boa União e Catu Abrantes, em Camaçari, Capelão e Caji, em Lauro de Freitas, destacaram-se os maiores acréscimos nas temperaturas de Itinga, Catu Abrantes e Boa União.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to analyze the impact of Company Size, Profitability, and Foreign Ownership on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Disclosure in mining companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Specifically, it aims to determine whether these factors significantly influence CSR disclosure. This study utilizes secondary data from the financial statements of mining companies listed on the IDX. Multiple linear regression analysis assesses the relationship between Company Size, Profitability, Foreign Ownership, and CSR Disclosure. The analysis aims to establish these factors' individual and combined effects on CSR disclosure in the mining industry. This study's findings indicate that the company's size positively influences CSR disclosure. Larger companies tend to exhibit higher levels of CSR disclosure. Additionally, profitability positively and significantly impacts CSR disclosure, suggesting that more profitable mining companies tend to disclose more about their social responsibility initiatives. The results also demonstrate that the ownership of foreign shares owned by the company positively influences CSR disclosure. As the ownership of foreign shares increases, the level of CSR disclosure also increases. Furthermore, the study concludes that when considering Company Size, Profitability, and Foreign Ownership, they collectively positively and significantly affect corporate social responsibility. This study contributes to the existing literature by examining the impact of Company Size, Profitability, and Foreign Ownership on CSR Disclosure, specifically in the mining sector. The findings provide insights into the factors that affect the extent of CSR disclosure, which can help mining companies and stakeholders enhance their understanding and awareness of social responsibility practices within the industry.

Preparing For Pandemic
Authors: Keränen Lisa , Ingersoll Branden , Krishnamoorthy Aishwarya , Cosgrove Meghan
Published: February 2024

Scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including communication and rhetoric, have argued that infectious disease has been increasingly securitized in the post-9/11 environment. This essay tracks the rhetoric of seven U.S. pandemic plans from 1978 to 2017 to investigate how the evolving language of these plans supports or undermines the infectious disease securitization thesis. Our analysis reveals stark differences in the arrangement, delivery, and style of U.S. pandemic plans, despite a consistent focus on antigenic shifts of influenza A, vaccines, and medical research and development. Although U.S. pandemic plans reflect connections to security since their earliest inception, they have adopted more explicit linkages to national and global health security since 2005. This move reflects the emergence of the global health security paradigm and raises questions about pandemic planning implementation.
“Let’s Get a Little Bit Aboriginal, Shall We?”: Transforming Cultural Appropriation into Spiritual Wellness via the Neohealthism of KINRGY
Authors: Overholt Stacey , Friz Amanda
Published: February 2024

Celebrity-driven wellness ventures are pervasive and often spearheaded by white women, resulting in white-centric health guidance. One such venture is KINRGY, a workout and lifestyle method created by professional dancer Julianne Hough that regularly appropriates and exploits Eastern, Aboriginal, and BIPOC cultural practices. Through a critical rhetorical interrogation of the workout videos and Instagram feed of KINRGY, we assess how this method relies on cultural appropriation and New Age Orientalism to situate spirituality as the crux of universal health, thus establishing a reconfiguration of healthism into what we call “neohealthism”—a phenomenon that further obfuscates structural constraints on health, and expands the individual imperatives of healthful choices by placing metaphysical considerations on consumers’ shoulders. We theorize neohealthism through the following themes: the consumption of the Other via cultural exploitation, the question of expertise in spiritual leadership, and the intensified neoliberal imperatives that individualize health and wellness for self and the universe.
Kinematics and Trajectory Planning of 3-PSS/7R Spatial Hybrid Re-dundantly Driven Mechanism
Authors: ZHANG Qisheng , LI Ruiqin , LIANG Jingjing , WEI Yao
Published: February 2024

A novel 3-PSS/7R spatial hybrid redundantly driven mechanism (HRDM) is proposed. The mechanism is driven by constant velocity (CV) motor and servo motor at the same time. The CV motor provides the main power for the system, and the servo motor plays the role of motion regulation. This system not only has the advantages of the traditional mechanical system, such as stable operation, large bearing capacity, but also can output controllable and adjustable flexible trajectory. The degrees of freedom of the mechanism are determined by the middle limb, which is called hybrid redundantly driven limb, which is driven by both CV motor and servo motor. Based on closed vector method, the position equation of the mechanism is established, and the velocity mapping matrix and acceleration change law of the mechanism are obtained. Further, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the mechanism to realize continuous trajectory and the relationship of rod constraints are obtained. The correctness of the kinematics equation and the smooth and controllable operation of the mechanism are verified by examples. The research results of this paper lay a foundation for the in-depth research and application expansion of spatial hybrid redundantly driven mechanism.
Notch Fatigue Property of 7050-T7451 Aluminum Alloy under Bending Resonance Environment
Authors: HE Dingni , CUI Wei , LIAO Yunfei , ZHANG Jianbo
Published: February 2024

Based on the electromagnetic shaker table, the resonant fatigue testing system and the corresponding conventional fatigue testing system were designed respectively. The fatigue life (S-N) curves of smooth and notched 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy specimens were measured in the range of 105-107 cycles, and the notch fatigue property of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy under bending resonance environment was studied. The results indicate that the fracture mechanism under bending resonant fatigue environment is roughly the same as that under bending conventional fatigue loading. All the S-N curves obtained through resonant and conventional fatigue tests show a continuously downward trend, and there are no obvious fatigue limits. Notch fatigue property under bending resonance environment presents “stage characteristics”, which increases first and then decreases with the increase of cycles. There is a critical cycle number Nc at 8×105 cycles, corresponding to the maximum fatigue notch factor Kf-max (or the maximum notch sensitivity factor qmax). There are two critical cycles N1 and N2. When N1<N<N2, the notch fatigue property of the material and the corresponding structures under resonance environment requires more consideration than conventional fatigue loading.
Multiscale Elastohydrodynamic Wedge-Platform Thrust Bearing with Ultra Low Clearance
Authors: WANG Chao , ZHANG Yongbin
Published: February 2024

The effect of the surface elastic deformation is investigated by the multiscale approach in the hydrodynamic wedge-platform thrust bearing with the ultra low clearance on the 1nm scale, by incorporating both the non-continuum pure adsorbed layer flow and the multiscale “sandwich” film flow. The pure adsorbed layer flow in ultra small surface separations is described by the non-continuum nanoscale flow equation; The “sandwich” film flow is described by the multiscale flow equations respectively for the adsorbed layer flow and the intermediate continuum fluid flow. The numerical calculation results show that in the studied bearing, the effect of the surface elastic deformation is normally significant, it pronouncedly reduces the maximum film pressure, greatly changes both the film pressure profile and the surface separation profile, and considerably increases the minimum surface separation, which occurs on the exit of the bearing. The effect of the surface elastic deformation is shown to be obviously dependent on the fluid-bearing surface interaction.
The Scramble for Asia
Authors: Gallicchio Marc
Published: February 2024

As American generals and diplomats accepted Japan's surrender on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri in September 1945, allied combatants wrestled for power in the new post-war world. The decisions made to effect Japan's surrender entangled U.S. forces on the mainland of Asia for the next two years, and helped shape the next several decades of international relations in the Far East.

Marc Gallicchio expertly examines the diplomatic, military, and economic struggles in which the United States, China, and the Soviet Union were pitted in the immediate aftermath of victory over Japan. The Allied victory was but a prelude to an American search for a lasting peace across Asia, stretching from Korea to Vietnam and out to the Pacific atolls.

In seeking to shape events on the mainland, the administration of Harry S. Truman confronted the anomalous nature of American power. The military operations undertaken by the United States in the early days of post-war peace affected developments in Asia in unexpected ways. As Gallicchio makes clear, Americans would soon find that the scramble for Asia from 1945 to 1947 had set the stage for future conflict in the region.
To Have and Have Not
Authors: Black Brian C.
Published: February 2024

A 2023 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title

Written by a leading scholar, this essential introduction to the history of energy traces one of humans’ most basic ecological interactions: energy exchange. From fire to agriculture, water wheels to electric dynamos, the rise in intensity led humans to define a new “high energy” existence during the twentieth century. Industrialization and consumption increased the connection between energy and economic and political power, clarifying its importance throughout the world wars and into the Cold War. To Have and Have Not reveals a world in which energy supply now defines global standing, starkly revealing the connection between history and current events that perfectly situates our modern conundrum of a future without fossil fuels. Climate change and the supply of sustainable energy now permeates our modern policy making as we bear witness to the waning years of energy borrowed from the distant past. Brian Black argues that our history of growing energy reliance and past transitions is essential context for understanding our inevitable shift to cleaner energy. Placing this story within the current, rapidly changing historical discourse, this book is timely and persuasive as it lays out our current transition from fossil fuels.
What Every Therapist Needs to Know
Authors: Karson Michael
Published: February 2024

With the ubiquity of knowledge on too many topics relevant to psychotherapy and life problems, it is difficult for therapists to muddle through and stay up-to-date. Therapists often have to choose between braving a bewildering onslaught of information and wishfully disregarding all that’s out there. What Every Therapist Needs to Know answers for therapists the practical, humble question, “What do I need to know about a topic to practice competently?”

This book provides an engaging overview on the topics that working clinicians need to know about, while drawing parallels between the therapist’s professional growth and the patient’s personal growth. Foundational knowledge on learning, life, and psychology segues into the therapy topics of conflict resolution, the working alliance, the therapeutic frame, technique, and feedback. What Every Therapist Needs to Know emphasizes the application of psychological theories to the therapy itself and not just to the patient’s life.

To Reach the Nation's Ear
Authors: Leeman Richard  W.
Published: February 2024

Throughout much of American history, African Americans have been denied easy access to most of the traditional modes of effective reform, such as newspapers, legislative assemblies, unions and political parties. Public speaking has thus been one of the most critically important means by which leaders and individuals have reached an audience, enacted or prevented change, and created community. Dating from the earliest days of American history, the African American community has produced many notable and eloquent speakers and has demonstrated a vibrant oral tradition. The volume will follow a chronological organization, tracing the history of African American public speaking from colonial times to the present.
Boxing and the Mob
Authors: Sussman Jeffrey
Published: February 2024

More than any other sport, boxing has a history of being easy to rig. There are only two athletes and one or both may be induced to accept a bribe; if not the fighters, then the judges or referee might be swayed. In such inviting circumstances, the mob moved into boxing in the 1930s and profited by corrupting a sport ripe for exploitation.

In Boxing and the Mob: The Notorious History of the Sweet Science, Jeffrey Sussman tells the story of the coercive and criminal underside of boxing, covering nearly the entire twentieth century. He profiles some of its most infamous characters, such as Owney Madden, Frankie Carbo, and Frank Palermo, and details many of the fixed matches in boxing’s storied history. In addition, Sussman examines the influence of the mob on legendary boxers—including Primo Carnera, Sugar Ray Robinson, Max Baer, Carmen Basilio, Sonny Liston, and Jake LaMotta—and whether they caved to the mobsters’ threats or refused to throw their fights.

Boxing and the Mob is the first book to cover a century of fixed fights, paid-off referees, greedy managers, misused boxers, and the mobsters who controlled it all. True crime and the world of boxing are intertwined with absorbing detail in this notorious piece of American history.

The Future of the Middle East
Authors: Palmer Monte
Published: February 2024

This deeply informed book considers the intertwined roles of faith, force, and finance in shaping the modern Middle East. Leading expert Monte Palmer argues that these factors will continue to have a major impact on the Middle East as the United States and other major powers increasingly find themselves embedded in conflicts that defy resolution. Palmer considers the lessons learned from past and current conflicts: the limits of using tyrants as avenues of force; the transformation of faith into force; the root causes of terror; and the perils of a global environment that threatens a new cold war between Russia and the United States, a war of religions between the Abrahamic faiths, and a war of terror that is rapidly becoming global. As he clearly shows, the relative dominance of faith, force, or finance is always shifting, depending on time, place, and local conditions. Drawing on cases from ten critical periods, from World War I through the current chaos and stalemate, the author offers constructive paths forward for building a Middle East of peace and stability.
Interpreting the Legacy of Women's Suffrage at Museums and Historic Sites
Authors: Harrington Page
Published: February 2024

Interpreting the Legacy of Women’s Suffrage at Museums and Historic Sites is an invaluable guide for public historians and practitioners who wish to share an updated historic narrative that is inclusive of the full breadth of the movement, including the pervasive bias and racism. This book acknowledges the barriers faced by history practitioners, from the difficulty in finding materials that document the political actions by women of color, to our own reluctance to broach this disparity, and then offers practical solutions and techniques for bringing about a larger shift in organizational culture.

To begin, this book includes a chronological primer on the US women’s suffrage movement and the events around the 50th, 75th, and finally the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment that took place in 2020. Additionally, four women’s history practitioners share case studies from their work at the National Woman’s Party, the Frances Willard House, and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. Each organization is moving forward to confront the racist tactics, or documented racism within their own history. The final case study written by Chick History showcases their multi-year project to digitize and make available family and local history related to African American women’s political history in Tennessee before 1930. The case studies can be used as models for best practices, cautionary examples of lessons learned, and can be replicated at sites of all sizes.

Lastly, the book provides an expansive list of online resources as well as a discussion guide on the history of women’s voting rights. Interpreting the Legacy of Women’s Suffrage at Museums and Historic Sites will be helpful to both practitioners and community organizations as they engage in public discussions or convene focus groups around the sensitive topics of bias and racism within the larger women’s suffrage movement.
Historical Dictionary of Palestine
Authors: Pappe Ilan , Mansour Johnny
Published: February 2024

The goal of this book is to treat Palestine not as a state but as a country which in 1948 was divided to Israel, The West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Palestinians live in all these areas and are also dwellers or refugee camps and exilic communities around the world. In our eyes they and the country as a whole are part of the history of Palestine and therefore are all included here. It is a book that regards Palestine in the period from 1800 until today as a geographical term which is still valid and relevant. Therefore, it covers different geo-political units and states that were established over the year in the country of Palestine: the late Ottoman provinces, the British Mandate, the State Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Half of Palestine population live in exile – in refugee camp and diasporic communities. They also have a place of honor in this book. As the story of Zionism and Israel is intertwined with that of the Palestinians, several Zionist/Israeli persons, places and events are also included in this book.

Historical Dictionary of Palestine, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.

Thriving After Trauma
Authors: Botwin Shari
Published: February 2024

Thriving After Trauma addresses readers who have experience trauma or loss due to a variety of experience – whether accident, abuse, or injury. Shari Botwin shows readers, through personal stories, how many who have experienced the worst kinds of trauma have managed to move on and thrive beyond their experiences.

Often, those who live through trauma come away with feelings of shame, guilt, anger, and despair. These are common, even normal, responses in the immediate aftermath. Left unaddressed, though, those feelings may develop into substance abuse problems, eating disorders, depression, or anxiety. Learning how to move on, to pick up and live life again, takes effort and guidance. Botwin guides readers through the stories of others who have gone on to live fulfilling, happy lives, and provides tips and tools for healing and moving on.

Letting go of the shame, guilt, anger and fear associated with tragic events is crucial to reclaiming a full life. Strategies such as, journaling, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral restructuring, and healthy relationships to aid in recovery are explored and explained, so readers can adopt those strategies that work best for them.

It is not the trauma itself that results in so many people developing self-destructive tendencies and life threatening illnesses. It is the lack of having a way to digest and make sense of the trauma-related feelings that can lead one to mental illness, disconnection, and in some cases, even death. Readers will learn how to live with the trauma versus how to get over the trauma, so they can move forward healthfully and mindfully.

Historical Dictionary of Russian Music
Authors: Jaffé Daniel
Published: February 2024

Russian music today has a firm hold around the world in the repertoire of opera houses, ballet companies, and orchestras. The music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Sergey Rachmaninov, Sergey Prokofiev, and Dmitri Shostakovich is very much today’s lingua franca both in the concert hall and on the soundtracks of international blockbusters from Hollywood. Meanwhile, the innovations of Modest Musorgsky, Alexander Borodin, and Igor Stravinsky have played their crucial role in the development of Western music, influencing the work of virtually every notable composer of the past century.

Historical Dictionary of Russian Music, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 600 cross-referenced entries for each of Russia’s major performing organizations and performance venues, and on specific genres such as ballet, film music, symphony and church music. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Russian Music.
Grandmothering
Authors: Berger Kathleen Stassen
Published: February 2024

Contemporary grandmothers are often marginalized from extended family life because social institutions and grandmothers themselves do not understand that they could be vital for working parents, for overactive children, for suicidal youth, indeed for many of the problems of modern grandchildren.

The genetics and hormones of older women have designed them to be vital family members, with patience and perspective that come with age and experience. In addition, biology helps directly via menopause. The grandmother hypothesis explains that human women, unlike almost any other living creature, experience decades of life after menopause, in order to make grandmothers available to their descendants.

Here, Kathleen Berger explores he role of grandmothers in the lives of their grandchildren. She uses real life examples to illustrate how grandmothers can best integrate themselves into the lives of their children’s families without overstepping. She explores the particular needs of each stage of childhood as they relate to grandmother involvement and input. Before a child is born, grandmothers need to attend to building a strong relationship with the future parents. In infancy, attachment and feeding are crucial. In early childhood, grandmothers need to follow the parent’s lead, remembering that a parental alliance is essential. In childhood, children need to be safe but not isolated, and both bullies and victims benefit from a grandmother’s support and assistance. In adolescence and emerging adulthood, grandmothers need to build direct connections and not avoid the difficult topics of sex, drugs, death, disease, and money. Throughout, elders need to learn technology, insuring that it fosters, not impedes relationships.

Problems in relationships are explained honestly and with insight. Among these are issues when three generations share a home, when parents get divorced, and when grandchildren rebel against parental authority. Throughout the work, both the joy and the complications of effective grandmothering are described. Whether you’re a biological grandmother, a trusted step-grandmother, or just a warm and trusted older woman with young ones in your life, you can be a vital force in the lives of future generations.
Historical Dictionary of Husserl's Philosophy
Authors: Drummond John J.
Published: February 2024

Edmund Husserl is generally regarded as the founding figure of the philosophical movement of “phenomenology,” by which he understands a descriptive science of the essential structures of experiences and of their objects precisely as these are experienced. Phenomenology has had a decisive influence on philosophy in the 20th century, especially in Europe. The movement known as “continental philosophy,” whether practiced in Europe or elsewhere, has its roots in phenomenology and in the post-Hegelian philosophies of Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Karl Marx.

Historical Dictionary of Husserl's Philosophy, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 600 cross-referenced entries on his key concepts and major writings as well as entries on his most important predecessors, contemporaries, and successors. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Edmund Husserl.

Exhibiting the Foreign on U.S. Soil
Authors: Berrin Kathleen
Published: February 2024

The uneasy relationship between the arts, US art museums, and the federal government has not been thoroughly explored by scholars. This book focuses on the development of “national diplomacy exhibitions” during World War II and the early Cold War and explains how the War provided the government with an impetus to create a national arts policy. It discusses how national diplomacy exhibitions on US soil were deployed as persuasive tools to influence public opinion, to reconcile discrepancies between high art and democracy, and to resolve America’s lagging art status and difficulties with “the foreign.” The type of soft diplomacy that art museums provide by initiating national diplomacy exhibitions has not received emphasis in the scholarly community and art museums have essentially been ignored in cultural studies of the early Cold War.

Scholarly analysis of museum exhibitions in the last quarter of the 20th century is now a popular topic, but investigations of exhibitions between 1939-1960 have been thin. By scrutinizing major exhibitions during those formative years this book takes a new perspective and examines the foundational development of the so-called “blockbuster” exhibition stimulated by World War II.

The book will interest readers in visual studies, history, museums, cultural affairs, government, and international diplomacy.
