The Port St. Joe Hearing Continues
Authors: Hubbart Phillip A.
Published: January 2024

Irwin Block questioned Bay County Sherriff M. J. “Doc” Daffin, chief police investigator on the Pitts and Lee case, about the Army CID investigation; the accusations of police brutality while Pitts and Lee were imprisoned in Port St. Joe; and the intimidation of Willie Mae Lee, which led to her false accusation. Wilbert Lee then testified to coerced confession and incompetent court-appointed counsel, and reiterated his innocence. Finally, Hubbart questioned Curtis Adams, who admitted, on the stand, to being at the gas station the night Floyd and Burkett were murdered and that he had known something about it, though he denied the actual killing.
The Ruling and the Appeal
Authors: Hubbart Phillip A.
Published: January 2024

Judge Charles Holley ruled that the original guilty verdicts of Pitts and Lee be vacated on the grounds of suppression of evidence by the State. On the grounds of counsel incompetence and coerced confessions, however, Judge Holley ruled against them. Again, newspapers on both sides of the state—the Miami Herald and Panama City News Herald—issued editorials on the case, which demonstrated wildly different opinions about the men’s innocence. The State appealed Holley’s ruling. Robert Shevin, attorney general for the state of Florida, filed a pleading arguing for Pitts and Lee to receive a new trial. The Florida Supreme Court accepted Shevin’s motion and ordered a new trial.
The State’s Case
Authors: Hubbart Phillip A.
Published: January 2024

Prosecutor Leo Jones outlined the State’s case, which ignored the police’s theory that Pitts and Lee were guilty under a motive of Black-on-white revenge murder stemming from the argument related to the white-only ladies’ restroom. Instead, Jones argued, Pitts and Lee killed the gas station attendants in an attempt to rob them. He presented no murder weapon and no forensic evidence. He also presented Willie Mae Lee’s testimony in which she blamed Pitts and Lee for the murders. Willie Mae Lee was called to the stand, again, and eventually admitted to knowing nothing about the case.
The Appeal
Authors: Hubbart Phillip A.
Published: January 2024

Hubbart and Block continued to appeal Pitts and Lee’s sentences, first to the First District Court of Appeal in Florida and then to the US Supreme Court. His petition relied heavily on the Supreme Court’s decision in Chambers v. Mississippi, which suggested that Adams’s confession would be admissible under the Sixth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution.
The Pochtecatl Angelina Martina
Authors: Vargas-Betancourt Margarita
Published: January 2024

Chapter 4 examines the role of Indigenous women as dealers of featherwork and textiles in the luxury “art world” of early colonial Mexico City. It reconstructs hidden histories of underrepresented historical protagonists which reveal that women’s economic activity was not only limited to the sale of the surplus of their domestic production; they also worked as principal merchants. As such, women’s role as suppliers of raw material for artists was essential. Margarita Vargas-Betancourt uses an Indigenous testament and bill of sale and the three components of the Florentine Codex: the Nahuatl text, the Spanish text, and the pictorial illustrations. The chapter also exemplifies an interdisciplinary approach.
The Power of Expertise
Authors: Burdette Derek S.
Published: January 2024

This chapter expands the action field of artists through an analysis of the concept and context of miraculous art. Artists from guilds and metropolitan workshops played an essential role in official investigative processes to validate real miraculous images. The artists performed a ritual that was based on their aesthetic, technical, and legal expertise. Derek S. Burdette’s consideration of this ritual expands the field of artistic practice to include performance. In turn, the artists’ participation in the examination shaped their professional and individual identities and in general that of their profession. Burdette also analyzed the racialized ideology used to regulate the sacred nature of artworks.
Conclusion
Authors: Hyman Aaron M. , Mundy Barbara E.
Published: January 2024

This chapter explains the limitations of the Vasarian model or “the life-work model,” which emphasizes individualism in art creation, to study colonial Latin American art. It also explains the ways in which such European paradigm led to the overrepresentation of artists with archives, thus, from the elites, and the underrepresentation of non-white artists. An example of a methodology to read against the grain is Susan Verdi Webster’s study of artistic production in colonial Quito. Aaron M. Hyman and Barbara E. Mundy explain how the contributors of this volume parted from Webster’s approach to challenge traditional art historical methods that cast aside the role of Indigenous creators. They also point the importance of the study of the intersection of race and art. Finally, this chapter highlights the volume chapters’ contributions and potential blind spots to the study of colonial Latin American art history. It warns that the field should not lose sight of the multifocality that characterized it.
The Taíno People of Hispaniola before 1492
Authors: Deagan Kathleen
Published: January 2024

A very general summary of what is currently understood about the prehistory of Hispaniola and the Greater Antilles is offered as a contextual background for readers unfamiliar with the archaeological and ethnohistoric scholarship focused on the late precolumbian people of the Greater Antilles. Spanish accounts sources that have shaped what is presumed to be understood about Taíno culture and society are also considered, along with the notion of Taíno identity.
The Social Landscape
Authors: Deagan Kathleen
Published: January 2024

En Bas Saline’s place in the social landscape of coastal north-eastern Haiti and the northwestern coastal Dominican Republic is evaluated. Questions of migration and local social interaction are addressed by analyzing settlement distributions, cultural affiliations of sites in the region, site size hierarchies and environmental associations, drawing on the extensive site surveys done previously in the region.
Defining En Bas Saline
Authors: Deagan Kathleen
Published: January 2024

Chapter 6 is concerned with the local environmental, historical and contemporary cultural contexts of the En Bas Saline site itself. These include the site’s geographical and geological settings, environmental resources, alterations to land and seascapes and modern history. The initial exploratory archaeological work at En Bas Saline is also outlined, including early test excavations done by William Hodges and the topographic, conductivity, and surface collection surveys carried out by the University of Florida. This work established the spatial extent and physical organization of En Bas Saline. These results set the parameters for subsequent targeted excavation strategies intended to address specific research questions.
Houses and Households
Authors: Deagan Kathleen
Published: January 2024

The socio-spatial units that provide the basis for comparative interpretation are established in this chapter, with an emphasis on the archaeological evidence for houses and households. Units include households presumed to represent elite occupation (on the central mound) and others presumed to be non-elite occupations (village households). Architectural information is detailed and considered in the context of what has been documented about Taíno houses in the wider Caribbean.
Community Space and Ritual
Authors: Deagan Kathleen
Published: January 2024

Community spaces and ritual events at En Bas Saline are discussed in this chapter. Excavation in the open, central plaza, large feast pits in the plaza, and a burial near the central mound revealed the materiality of non-household, often ritual community events and activities. The roles of the community and the cacique in creating and practicing these events is assessed. These contexts of community-wide activity provide an important counterpoint to individual households, whose materialities were shaped by specific factors of social status, composition, and size among others.
Foodways
Authors: Deagan Kathleen
Published: January 2024

Food is widely understood as an analytical point of entry in the study of social complexity and differentiation. Drawing heavily on the work of environmental archaeologists Elizabeth Wing, Michelle LeFebvre and Lee Ann Newsom, this chapter details the acquisition of food (fishing and farming) and its use in the diet of En Bas Saline’s residents across households and ritual contexts. Non-food uses of plants and animals are also discussed.
Food-Related Material Technology
Authors: Deagan Kathleen
Published: January 2024

The technology of food production and processing (including the ceramic repertoire of the community’s Taíno households) is the focus of Chapter 11. The distinctive technologies for processing, preparation, and eating of root crops (principally manioc), shellfish and fish are detailed, and the social relations of food production and preparation are considered in a framework of social inequality and gendered labor.
Indictments and Wiretaps
Authors: Toby Milton C.
Published: January 2024

On March 9, 2020 the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York unsealed four indictments alleging the involvement of 27 people in various conspiracies, obstruction, and smuggling linked to performance-enhancing drugs in racing. Among the 27 accused were two of the United States' leading Thoroughbred trainers, Jason Servis and Jorge Navarro. Servis' involvement in the indictments blocked the disbursement of $10,000,000 in prize money to the owners of Maximum Security, while Navarro was sentenced to five years in federal prison and fined over $26,000,000. This chapter includes a key of the defendants involved in the indictments as well as transcripts of the wiretap evidence supporting the charges.
India
Authors: Chapman Jessica M.
Published: January 2024

India, gaining independence from Britain in 1947, set the stage for the global cascade of decolonization that was to come. In pursuit of true independence—rather than the neocolonial subjugation he feared—Nehru engendered a movement for nonalignment and hailed the promise of state-directed modernization and development. Yet, economically underdeveloped and plagued by regional conflicts with Pakistan, India found itself repeatedly ensnared in the superpower rivalry. Cold War era India presaged the difficulties many decolonizing and postcolonial countries would face as they sought to avoid falling into either superpower bloc while pursuing the monumental task of unifying disparate populations within the arbitrary national borders inherited from imperial oppressors.
Angola
Authors: Chapman Jessica M.
Published: January 2024

Angola, upon gaining independence from Portugal rather suddenly in the mid-1970s, featured heavily in that final chapter. Soviet and American involvement in Angola's bloody civil war was determined largely by the actions taken by their Cuban and South African allies, and to a lesser extent by Chinese and Zairian machinations. Both superpowers initially sought to avoid the fray but, for reasons that centered largely on image and prestige, increased their involvement not only in Angola, but in a chain of crises that beset southern Africa. Washington's initial involvement was cut short by congressional interference that Ronald Reagan would later attribute to the "Vietnam Syndrome" Reagan in the 1980s would revive American intervention in Angola as part of his campaign to support "freedom fighters" in their efforts to roll back communism. Perhaps most notably, it was in Angola that Soviet-backed Cuban revolutionary forces played by far their biggest role on the continent, and boasted the greatest impact. Signifying the demise of the Cold War geopolitical system, Moscow and Washington would collaborate to negotiate an end to the conflict in Angola just months before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Introduction
Authors: Prentice David L.
Published: January 2024

The introduction reviews the historiography of Nixon's Vietnam War. It explains that historians have overlooked the decisive roles of Melvin Laird, U.S. domestic politics, Nguyen Van Thieu, and Vietnamization in ending America's participation in the conflict. It also explains how Kissinger and Le Duan challenged and complicated this process.
My Way
Authors: Prentice David L.
Published: January 2024

This chapter shows how Melvin Laird resisted Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger's escalation of the Vietnam War. Laird focused almost exclusively on Vietnamization and getting U.S. soldiers out of Vietnam. President Nguyen Van Thieu backed this strategy, seeing it as the only way of preserving American support and aid while building up the Republic of Vietnam so that it could survive an American exit. Laird's and Thieu's efforts paid off at Midway Island where Nixon announced the first U.S. reductions.
Cold War Space and Technology
Authors: Brokaw David J.
Published: January 2024

This chapter focuses on America's space program and pursuit of technological supremacy. The episode, “I Shot an Arrow into the Air,” serves as a jumping off point to discuss contemporaneous critiques of manned space flight and the space race. Amitai Etzioni's contemporaneous book, Moon-Doggle, Gil Scott-Heron's “Whitey on the Moon,” and Polykarp Kusch's critiques are juxtaposed with science fiction magazines and Disney television specials that aired throughout the 1950s and 60s. “Brain Center at Whipple's” illustrates the costs of automation without compensating workers or considering the impact on the labor force. Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano, Michael Harrington's The Other America, and Congressional hearings with the UAW and Ford Motor Company provide meaningful historical context. The Detroit Riots of 1967 provide an enduring and troubling legacy of these postwar developments.
White-Collar Weariness
Authors: Brokaw David J.
Published: January 2024

This chapter focuses on the development of suburbia and white-collar work, incorporating Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, David Riesman's The Lonely Crowd, as well as William Whyte's The Organization Man. The episodes, “A Stop at Willoughby” and “The After Hours,” dramatize the stresses of commuting, expenses of suburban living, the detriments of trying to live too comfortably and isolated, and the ways in which department store work dehumanizes and objectifies employees. An analysis of contemporary women's magazines and advertising is provided along with C. Wright Mills' scathing critique of retail work in White Collar.
Consuming Conformity
Authors: Brokaw David J.
Published: January 2024

This chapter discusses postwar critiques related to consumer culture's oppressive ideals of beauty and femininity, as well as the burgeoning market for psychotropic drugs, such as Valium. Social criticism from Betty Freidan's The Feminine Mystique, Jaqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls, and recent scholarship from Andrea Tone provide context for the episodes, “The Lateness of the Hour” and “Number Twelve Looks Just Like You.” An analysis of consumer-driven psychiatry is coupled with Lewis Mumford's and Jane Jacobs's contemporary critiques of family-focused and social indifferent suburban living.
Introduction
Authors: Nance William Stuart
Published: January 2024

This chapter lays out the basic argument of the work. It notes the internecine bickering going on across the Allied high command and how the Ninth Army did not participate. The chapter also discusses the role of the staff in higher echelon planning and operations, and how the US Army prefers to manage its way to victory. It argues that the American way of war is reliable management of staff work rather than fancy maneuver. Furthermore, it lays out how many of the leaders in the European Theater have been forgotten in the literature due to being overshadowed by the more flamboyant personalities such as Patton and Montgomery. Thus, the Ninth Army was uncommonly normal because it was uncommonly professional.
The Casablanca Directive and Breaking Command Unity
Authors: Truxal Luke W.
Published: January 2024

This chapter analyzes Major General Ira Eaker's role at the Casablanca Conference and the ultimate decision to break command unity so that each air command could happily pursue its own air offensives without having to support each other. Eaker's notes and memos are examined as are his meetings with Prime Minister Winston Churchill, commander of the Army Air Forces Henry "Hap" Arnold, and other various members of the Combined Chiefs of Staff to craft the Casablanca Directive. The second half of the chapter analyzes his efforts to put the Casablanca compromises into an operational plan known as Operation Pointblank. The chapter shows that the compromises that Eaker made to gain the independence that he sought also weakened the ability of each of these commands to aid one another in their own private air wars.
Testing the Casablanca Directive
Authors: Truxal Luke W.
Published: January 2024

This chapter analyzes how the compromises made at Casablanca met the realities of combat. Three major air battles are examined to show the shortcomings of this new command system. The Blitz Week missions at the end of July show the inability of the Eighth Air Force and Bomber Command to properly coordinate their operations to maximize effect. The planning and execution of the 1 August 1943 Ploesti mission and the 17 August 1943 Schweinfurt-Regensburg double raid show the inability of the Americans to concentrate on a single strategic system. As a result they are unable to capitalize on the effectiveness of the raids due to both high losses and a lack of support from the other air forces in the European Theater. As a result of these failures the Allied air commands are forced to carry out an operational pause in late August and September 1943.
Taking the Fight to the Luftwaffe
Authors: Truxal Luke W.
Published: January 2024

This was the first big test of the new command system. Lieutenant General Carl Spaatz sought a decisive victory over the Luftwaffe by concentrating the Eighth, Ninth, and Fifteenth Air Forces against German air power from 20 to 25 February 1944. A German counter-attack prior at the Anzio beachhead in Italy forced Spaatz to delay the deployment of the Fifteenth Air Force until the last two days of the battle so that it could stay on call if needed by the Allies at the beach. The coordination between the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces, under the command of Lieutenant General Ira Eaker, ensured that the Fifteenth Air Force was able to still participate later in the air battles against the Luftwaffe. The air battles that took place from 20 to 25 February, more commonly known as Big Week, proved the effectiveness of the new air command system. Despite setbacks, Spaatz was able to concentrate his air forces on a major objective and deal fatal punishment to it.
The Spring Campaign against European Transportation
Authors: Truxal Luke W.
Published: January 2024

This chapter examines three major transportation campaigns in the context of the larger European air war against the Axis. Starting in March 1944, Dwight D. Eisenhower wanted the American strategic air forces to concentrate their efforts on attacking Axis transportation targets in preparation for major ground offensives in Italy, France, and Romania. In Italy the Twelfth and Fifteenth Air Force struck Axis bridges and railways to limit the flow of supplies to German forces on the Gustav Line to force their withdrawal. As a part of the battlefield preparations for Operation Overlord the Eighth and Ninth Air Forces targeted marshalling yards in Western Europe. At the same time, the Americans saw an opportunity to aid the Soviet offensives into Romania by striking at Romanian transportation and communication targets. While their support failed to yield a victory on the ground for the Second and Third Ukrainian Fronts it laid the groundwork for future air support to aid the Soviet advance into the Balkans as 1944 continued. The cumulative effect of these attacks against Axis transportation limited both operational and strategic movement of Axis forces and resources.
The Summer Oil Offensive
Authors: Truxal Luke W.
Published: January 2024

Starting in May 1944 the commander of the United States Strategic Air Forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Carl Spaatz, finally received permission to attack Axis oil across the continent of Europe. Spaatz ordered the Eighth Air Force to target German synthetic oil plants in western and central Europe, while the Fifteenth Air Force carried out an aggressive strategic bombing campaign in the Balkans. The Fifteenth Air Force also continued to support the Red Army's efforts in seizing Romania throughout the summer of 1944. As a result of these attacks Axis oil production fell significantly creating the oil crises that were felt by the Wehrmacht during the Battle of the Bulge. Ultimately, Romanian crude oil production was permanently eliminated after the Second and Third Ukrainian Fronts destroyed the German Sixth Army in Romania. The occupation of the Romanian oil fields and refineries by the Red Army represented the end of the summer campaign against Axis oil.
Breaking the German Way of War
Authors: Truxal Luke W.
Published: January 2024

This chapter examines the continued bombardment of Axis oil and transportation targets during the fall of 1944. In September there was an attempt by Bomber Command to break the command set up established in January 1944. While Bomber Command achieved a greater degree of independence the American air command structure remained solidified and under the control of Supreme Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower. After this hurdle had been resolved the Americans continued their bombardment of oil and transportation targets. This hammering had a combined net effect since Germany tried to offset their rail losses with greater reliance on motor vehicles which consumed petrol. This aggravated the oil crisis in Germany culminating in the failures of the German Ardennes Offensive in December 1944.
Conclusions
Authors: Truxal Luke W.
Published: January 2024

This chapter opens by examining the importance of command unity today with a short analysis of the early failures of the Russian Federation's offensives into Ukraine in February and March 2022. The chapter then pivots to providing an overview of the process by which the United States created and maintained command unity over its air forces in the European Theater of Operations during the Second World War. The conclusion ends by emphasizing that unity of command on its own is not a war winner but rather a force multiplier.

Regulating Access to Big Data? – Between Ex-Ante and Ex-Post Economic Regulation
Authors: Dacar Rok
Published: January 2024

Big Data can be a monopolistic bottleneck that restricts access to downstream markets of companies that do not control the appropriate set of Big Data. This article examines both the drawbacks of competition law when applied to Big Data-driven markets as well as different possible forms of ex-ante economic regulation of access to Big Data, all with the aim of answering the research question: Is ex-post economic regulation alone insufficient to ensure access to competitively relevant Big Data, and if so, what type of ex-ante economic regulation would be most effective? In doing so it concludes that competition law is not a suitable primary tool for requesting access to Big Data for several reasons, in particular because competition law procedures are lengthy, market definition is difficult in the absence of a monetary price for the product, and markets driven by Big Data tend to be structurally inefficiently competitive. Asymmetrical ex-ante regulation is identified as the most appropriate form of regulating access to Big Data.

Authors: TOSUN Hanifi
Published: January 2024

İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti (İTC), Meşruti bir yönetime geçme sürecinde Osmanlı azınlıklarıyla ittifaka girmiştir. II. Meşrutiyet’in getirmiş olduğu atmosferi; İttihatçılar vatanı kurtaran reçete olarak görürken, Ermeniler ise özerklik hatta bağımsızlığın yolu olarak algılamıştır. Amaçları birbirinden farklı olan bu iki yapının ittifaklı süreci ile karşılıklı beklentilerinin ne olduğu ve ne elde ettikleri önemli bir sorudur. Her iki yapıya ilişkin çok sayıda çalışma olsa da bunların birbirleriyle olan ilişkilerinin dönemin iç ve dış dinamikleriyle birlikte ele alınması ayrı bir önem arz etmektedir. İttihat ve Terakki Merkez Komitesi, devletin dağılmasını önlemek amacıyla “Osmanlı Milleti” anlayışını öne çıkarmıştır. Meşrutiyetinin yeniden ilanını ve II. Abdülhamid yönetimine son verilmesini çözüm olarak gören İTC ve Taşnaksutyun Cemiyeti ittifak kurmuşlardır. II. Meşrutiyet sonrası yaşanan yapısal ve siyasal birçok değişimle birlikte oluşturulan bu ittifak; inişli çıkışlı bir süreç geçirerek 1913 yılına kadar devam etmiştir. Çalışmada Ermenilerin örgütlü hali olarak ortaya çıkan Taşnaksutyun Partisi ile kendisini Osmanlı unsurlarının temsilci olarak gören İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti arasındaki ilişkileri, dönemin iç ve dış siyasetiyle birlikte inceleyerek, II.

Two Descriptions of the Southern Lands of the Russian State at the End of the 16th Century
Authors:   State Museum-Reserve «Kulikovo field» (Russia, Tula), Burtsev Igor
Published: January 2024

Two geographical descriptions of the southern lands of the Russian state at the end of the 16th century preserved in the documents of the Belgorod Department of the Military Ministry (the Razryadny prikaz): "Description of field roads" (Rospis’ pol’skim dorogam) and "Description of the map of outlying cities..." (Rospis’ chertezhu ukrainnyh gorodov…). "Description of field roads" was published for the first time in 1886 by D. I. Bagalei. "Description of the map" remained little-known in the historical literature, in the 1990s G. Saatchan was the first to mention the existence of this document. In the preface to the publication, dating of the studied descriptions is proposed based on the analysis of the dates of the emergence of cities in the "Field". "Description of field roads" was compiled between 1592 and 1594, "Description of the map" between 1596 and 1599. Analysis of the filigree sheets of the column showed that both descriptions were written on paper from the 1590s. One of the filigrees of the "Description of the map" coincides with the watermark of the 1598 Razriad book draft. This led to the conclusion that the "Description of the map" was compiled in the Razryadny prikaz in the 1590s. It can be assumed that the "Description of the map" was an intermediate document for compiling a new map. During the reign of Tsar Boris Godunov, work was carried out to compile a drawing of the Russian state, which formed the basis of the map of Russia published in 1613 by Gessel Gerrits. Perhaps one of the intermediate stages of these works was the "Description of the map". The publication is provided with a geographical index.
The 1936 D.I. Kazantsev’s Report and its Significance in the History of Horticulture in the Middle Urals
Authors:   Sverdlovsk Selection Station for Horticulture — the Structural Subdivision of the Ural Federal Agrarian Scientific Research Centre, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Ekaterinburg, Russia), Slepneva Tatiana , Kiseleva Olga ,   Sverdlovsk Selection Station for Horticulture — the Structural Subdivision of the Ural Federal Agrarian Scientific Research Centre, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Ekaterinburg, Russia), Korolenko Gennadij ,   Museum of History of the Middle Urals’ Horticulture (Ekaterinburg, Russia)
Published: January 2024

The publication introduces into scientific circulation the historical document compiled by Dmitry Ivanovich Kazantsev, an amateur selectionist who pioneered the fruit gardening in the Middle Urals. His name is memorized in the history of Ekaterinburg with a memorial object — the D. I. Kazantsev’s Fruit Garden which has existed for more than a century. The published report “My Work, Observations and Achievements for the Year 1936” is written with the author’s characteristic pedantry and gives an idea of the popular trends and practical methods of gardening in the early 1930s Sverdlovsk. The document allows judging on the author’s social circle and business connections. Together with other selectionists, D. I. Kazantsev took part in overcoming such a problem as scarcity of fruit varieties in the Urals. Samples from his garden were involved in the broad-scale works on hybridization started by the Sverdlovsk Zonal Fruit and Berry Experimental Station named after. I. V. Michurin since 1935. D.I. Kazantsev’s detailed report was compiled in connection with the organization of these studies, and therefore in many ways resembles a scientific text. It describes the history of raising the original apple-tree variety — Kordik, contains a lot of details about the phenology, productivity, stability and other characteristic features of old-time varieties and hybrids of apple-trees which are still of interest and allow comparing with current varieties. The published document may be of interest to specialists studying the period of collectivization and industrialization of Soviet society, the history of horticulture and fruit growing in the Urals, as well as to modern selectionists and gardening experimentalists.
Implementation of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on Measuring the Efficiency of Gas Station Services

Published: January 2024

Along with the increasing number of transportation vehicles in Indonesia, the growth of the gas station business is also increasing from year to year. This requires companies in the oil and gas industry to improve their performance, and gas stations must have the right strategy to improve efficiency. Measurement of efficiency and productivity is one of the first steps that must be taken by a gas station operation to improve performance. This research analyzes the performance differences in each gas station with the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach, where DEA is a linear programming model based on measuring the relative efficiency of a unit using many inputs and many outputs. This study aims to identify input and output factors that affect the efficiency level of gas stations, determine the work efficiency of each gas station in carrying out the service process to consumers, and determine the improvement planning strategy for inefficient gas stations

For degenerative diseases, a major causal hypothesis is chronic cell stress, which damages cell proteins. To maintain cellular homeostasis, damaged proteins must be replaced via nuclear protein synthesis, ER folding, and Golgi transport. If protein damage exceeds the cell’s replacement capacity, protein misfolding occurs, which, if unchecked, forms cytotoxic aggregates of misfolded polymorphic structures (CAMPS) that attach to membranes, disrupt their function, and degrade homeostasis.

Published: January 2024

Physical activity has extensive and well-documented neuroprotective effects, benefitting cognitive function during healthy aging and reducing the risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, the mechanisms responsible for these benefits remain largely unknown. Recent advances have contributed to the identification of the circulating signals that underlie the Central Nervous System (CNS)-targeting the benefits of exercise, a major advance for identifying novel mechanisms of cognitive function.

Cellular identity, developmental reorganization, genomic structure modulation, and susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases involve epigenomic regulation engaging multiple signaling interplay. Here we demonstrate that elovanoids (ELVs), mediators derived from very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs, n-3, C >28), and their precursors in human neurons/astrocytes in culture overcome the damage triggered by oligomeric amyloid-β (OAβ), erastin (ferroptosis-dependent cell death), or other insults like uncompensated oxidative stress (UOS), NMDA mediated cellular excitotoxicity, or oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), that target epigenomic signaling. We uncover that ELVs counteract damage targeting histones H3K9 and H3K27 methylation and acetylation; tau hyperphosphorylation (pThr181, pThr217, pThr231, and pSer202/pThr205 (AT8)); senescence gene programming (p16INK4a, p27KIP, p21CIP1, and p53); and DNA methylation (DNAm) modifying enzymes: TET (DNA hydroxymethylase), DNA methyltransferase, DNA demethylase, and DNA methylation (5mC) phenotype. Moreover, ELVs revert OAβ-triggered telomere length (TL) attrition as well as upregulation of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression fostering dendrite protection and neuronal survival. Thus, ELVs modulate epigenomic resiliency by pleiotropic interrelated signaling.

Published: January 2024

Alzheimer-associated neuronal thread protein (AD7c-NTP) has been found to be a candidate biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD). First, we confirmed through methodological research that AD7c-NTP can be tested using random urine instead of the first morning urine. If the specimen cannot be tested in time, boric acid appears to be an acceptable preservative with storage at 4°C, freezing is not recommended.

The present paper provides first detailed data on the phytoplankton species composition collected during two summer campaigns (2019 and 2021) from 21 Bulgarian microreservoirs (<100 ha). By conventional light microscopy (LM) 414 algae from seven phyla were identified, among which Chlorophyta were the taxonomically richest group (143 taxa). The recorded high algal biodiversity corresponded to the average species contribution of 36 taxa per site. It was associated with a significant variability between the phytoplankton composition in different microreservoirs: the total number of species ranged from 9 to 97. The dominant/co-dominant and sub-dominant phytoplankton composition comprised 46 algae from six phyla, most of which were cyanoprokaryotes (26 species, out of which 17 dominated in 12 microreservoirs and 11 sub-dominated in seven microreservoirs). The floristic similarity estimated through Sørensen’s Correlation Index (SCI) was quite low (0-43%) corresponding to the high number of species (256, or 61%) found in a single waterbody. We strongly believe that the obtained results will stimulate further investigations of such small waterbodies as unexplored genetic reservoirs of algae.

This paper explores the use of the Jupyter platform in teaching C++ programming at the higher education level. It includes a comparative analysis between traditional integrated development environments and online judge systems. The study discusses a teaching approach that leverages JupyterHub and Xeus-Cling to create an interactive learning setting. This approach was pilot-tested during a C++ lab session at Shenzhen Technology University, and student feedback was subsequently gathered and analyzed. A substantial number of students found value in Jupyter's interactive capabilities and the seamless integration of code execution and report writing. However, others experienced difficulties with the platform due to adaptation hurdles, code compatibility issues, and the lack of functionality compared to traditional integrated development environments. The paper further explores the potential of integrating Jupyter with the Visual Studio Code environment to mitigate these limitations and amplify its benefits. The paper concludes by recommending ongoing research and evaluation to refine and adapt this innovative teaching strategy.

Waste is an environmental problem that is still not fully resolved properly even though the resulting impact has a major effect on environmental pollution, especially solid medical waste. The purpose of this study was to assess the characteristics of solid medical waste at Undata Hospital based on its sources and types, calculate the average weight of solid medical waste generated per day, and evaluate the solid medical waste management system with sorting, packaging, collection and transportation modes in accordance with the criteria of Permen of Environment and Forestry Number 56 of 2015 and Permenkes Number 2 of 2023. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. This research was conducted in August-September 2023. The sampling technique in this study used Purposive Sampling, with 18 informants selected from each unit/room/installation at Undata Hospital, Palu City. Based on the results of the study, it was found that every day Undata Palu Hospital produces domestic waste as much as ± 270 kg / day. The results of the evaluation of the solid medical waste management system at Undata Palu Hospital show that basically it is quite effective but not optimal, because the storage process shows non-compliance with the guidelines for medical waste management by the Ministry of Health Number 2 of 2023, namely storage in TPS which should not be more than 2x24 hours, but in fact the accumulation of solid medical waste is stored for 1 month in the LB3 TPS due to delays in transportation by third parties. This causes a large amount of solid waste in the TPS so that the TPS becomes full and dangerous because the waste undergoes a process of decomposition and decay, which is harmful to the environment and human health. Undata Hospital needs to maximize the procurement of internal medical waste processing equipment (incineration equipment) which needs to be supported by the Environmental Agency and the relevant Health Office to prevent environmental pollution from medical activities.
