ABSTRAK
Penerapan strategi komunikasi melalui aspek pendekatan psikologis untuk memperluas wawasan dan kesadaran diri para generasi muda, untuk mencegah dan menghindari pernikahan dini demi meningkatkan kesejahteraan sosial masyarakat, dalam hal ini studi kasusnya adalah  para generasi muda pada Warga Rawasari 7 RT.054 RW.005 Komplek Pondok Sari Kota Banjarmasin Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan yang mana pada artikel ini dianggap warga disini adalah sampel dari populasi warga kota Banjarmasin yang termasuk salah satu kota besar yang sedang berkembang pesat di Indonesia. Berikut beberapa hal permasalahan yang akan di bahas nanti, yaitu seberapa penting menjalin kedekatan emosional dengan cara komunikasi dari orang tua kepada anak-anaknya yang sudah beranjak dewasa agar terbuka wawasannya untuk tidak melakukan pernikahan dini. Dengan strategi berkomunikasi dari hati ke hati tanpa bersikap menggurui, tapi lebih ke psikologis seperti seorang sahabat atau teman yang menasehati, itu jauh lebih bisa masuk secara mendalam ke mind atau pikiran anak-anaknya. Karena pendekatan berkomunikasi dengan cara menjadikan anak sebagai sahabat di kala mereka remaja, itu jauh lebih efektif dibandingkan mendidik mereka secara kolot atau otoriter. Dalam artikel ini,, warga rawasari 7 yang dijadikan sebagai perbandingan dari berbagai penelitian tentang pernikahan dini yang terjadi di desa desa pedalaman pada seluruh Indonesia. Rumusan masalah dalam artikel penelitian ini adalah Bagaimana strategi psikologi komunikasi mengurangi pernikahan dini untuk meningkatkan kemakmuran pada kelurahan teluk Dalam di Kota Banjarmasin.  Didapatkan hasil penelitian bahwa dari data di lapangan beserta In-Depth Interview ke warga, tingkat Pendidikan, wawasan, kesadaran diri, dan strategi psikologi pendekatan dari para orang tua ke anak-anaknya benar sangat mempengaruhi perubahan mindset untuk tidak gegabah dalam melakukan pernikahan dini. Dengan ini terlihat jelas bagaimana perbedaan penelitian pernikahan dini yang terjadi di kota dan di masyarakat desa. Dengan berkurangnya pernikahan dini di Indonesia, maka akan meningkatkan kemakmuran social bagi seluruh rakyat Republik Indonesia.

Published: February 2025

The production of waste materials in laboratories is an unavoidable consequence of diverse experiments and activities. These materials can range from chemicals, solvents, and biological samples to electronic components, glassware, and plastics. Typically, this waste is classified into hazardous and non-hazardous categories, requiring careful disposal to avoid environmental and health risks. These can be repurposed for energy harvesting methods, such as using polymers in triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) or recycling metallic waste for electrodes. This approach reduces waste while advancing sustainable energy solutions. This technique demonstrates remarkable efficiency in utilizing diverse waste materials to transform various forms of mechanical energy into electricity for multiple smart applications. Herein, we have collected several laboratory wastes including used waste latex gloves, aluminium tape, and glass slides, and fabricated a single-electrode TENG which produced electrical outputs of 220 V voltage, 25 µA current, and power of 72 μW at 500 MΩ resistance. The TENG device was also used to charge various capacitors and power LED light. Finally, the TENG was used to harvest various mechanical energies from natural source like wind energy, droplet energy, various exercise activities, and body movement like speaking and drinking water. This kind of sustainable, low-cost, easy to fabricate TENG device can be very useful in various applications like sensing, and biomedical sectors.

Published: February 2025

Ao longo do século XIX, Minas Gerais recebeu a visita de inúmeras companhias artísticas itinerantes advindas de diferentes pontos do território nacional e até mesmo de outros países. Eram grupos que comercializavam espetáculos, entre outros gêneros, de cinematógrafo, circo, mágica, música, teatro e touradas, muitas vezes de forma intercambiável, sem distinção clara entre as atrações. Sobre este assunto, a historiografia que investiga Minas Gerais produziu, nos últimos anos, um volume significativo de trabalhos acadêmicos. O crescente movimento de incursões históricas, ainda que revele um cenário alvissareiro para uma compreensão abrangente de alguns espetáculos ambulantes oferecidos ao público mineiro no século XIX, carece de produções mais panorâmicas que possam mapear os grupos, classificar os estilos e determinar a periodicidade das visitas. É tentando preencher essas lacunas que o presente artigo objetiva descrever e analisar as companhias artísticas itinerantes que visitaram a cidade de Juiz de Fora, localizada na Zona da Mata, no último quartel do século XIX. A principal fonte mobilizada neste estudo foi o jornal O Pharol, folha fundada em 1866, na cidade de Paraíba do Sul, no Rio de Janeiro, sendo transferida, no início da década de 1870, para Juiz de Fora, efetivando, em 1875, uma frequência de publicação diária. Para este estudo foram consultadas mais de 3.700 edições disponíveis no site da Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional, com o recorte temporal iniciando-se em 1876, quando é possível encontrar os primeiros exemplares digitalizados, estendendo-se até o último ano do século XIX.
A voz e a luta pelas mulheres em Júlia Lopes de Almeida
Authors: Pessoa Eurídice Hespanhol M. , Sepulveda Denize
Published: February 2025

Júlia Lopes de Almeida editou cerca de 40 obras entre Portugal, Brasil e França, de 1886 até 1934. Foi reconhecida como abolicionista e feminista. Como escritora, constou da lista dos intelectuais que planejaram a fundação da Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL), porém dela não fez parte, por ser mulher: os valores patriarcais e os preconceitos que se tinha à época não permitiram que ela fosse membro-fundadora da ABL. A metodologia usada neste estudo é o paradigma indiciário de Ginzburg (1989), analisando a obra da autora, jornais e revistas da época e uma entrevista com um de seus netos e, particularmente, o texto do seu discurso no Conselho Nacional de Mulheres da Argentina, em 1922. Na obra dessa mulher encontramos indícios e fatos que representam sua participação em reuniões e conferências sobre a condição das mulheres, no final do século XIX e início do século XX. A intenção deste estudo é trazer contribuições que possam ligar o nome da escritora e suas atividades aos movimentos feministas daquele período.

According to Mahalanobis D2 analysis these genotypes were classified into five distinct clusters with cluster I as largest cluster having 34 genotypes, followed by cluster III having 7 genotypes, cluster II having 2 genotypes and rest of the clusters with solitary genotypes. Cluster-I exhibited the highest intra-cluster distance of 13.17 indicating significant variability and diversity within this cluster and the largest inter-cluster IV and III (148.01) followed by cluster-II and cluster-IV (118.46), cluster-IV and cluster-I (104.58) highlighting substantial dissimilarity between these clusters suggesting its superiority in yield-related traits such genotypes could be hybridized and used to develop superior hybrids.
Inflation Dynamics in Tanzania’s Post-reform Period
Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam, Mtui John
Published: February 2025

This paper investigates the effect of monetary, fiscal, external and structural factors on inflation in post-reform Tanzania. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, it analyses annual time-series data for the period 1980–2021, and finds inflation to be influenced by the demand side, supply side, and external factors. In the long-run, money supply, real GDP and trade openness significantly affect inflation as per theoretical predictions; whereas fiscal deficit shows an insignificant influence on inflation. In the short-run, real GDP growth, interest rate, nominal exchange rate and trade openness influence inflation negatively; thus the Romerhypothesis holds in the short-run. Also, a structural break has no significant influence on inflation. The error correction term suggests a stable long-run equilibrium, with a speed of adjustment of about 59% per annum towards its longrun state. These results imply that low and stable inflation is predicated on tightening monetary policy and maintaining economic growth and productivity, particularly in industry and agriculture. Additionally, while targeted interest rate levels should ensure a sufficient supply of money in the productive sectors, they should guard against the crowding-out effect. Also, Tanzania should consider a timely importation of goods in short supply to ease supply-side pressure.
ACTIVITY OF LEAF-CUTTING ANT Atta sexdens piriventris SUBMITED TO HIGH DILUTION HOMEOPATHIC PREPARATIONS
Authors: Giesel Alexandre , Boff Mari Ines Carissimi , Gonçalves Paulo Antonio de Souza , Boff Pedro
Published: February 2025

The effect of high dilution preparations on the movement and foraging activities of Atta sexdens piriventris was evaluated. Five colonies of ants were located on each of the five experimental areas using a randomized complete block design. Three main forage trails from each colony were selected from where evaluations were made. Ten mL of high dilution preparation of Atta sexdens piriventris nosodes and Belladonna homeopathy solution were sprayed over 0.5 m of each selected trail, 1.0 m far from the nest. The controls were pure water and non treated trails. Applications were made daily during 10 days. The total number of ants moving on each trail one meter away from the nest, carrying or not plant fragments, were assessed before the daily application. Dilution preparations at 30CH (thirtieth centesimal Hahnemannian dilution) of A. sexdens piriventris nosodes and Belladonna reduced the activities of ants from the fifth day after the first application. The treatment effect lasted more than 20 days after the last application. The use of preparation at 30CH dilution order to reduce the foraging activity of leaf-cutting ants is a potential non residual method to manage leaf-cutting ants.

Forty-eight male New Zealand White rabbits of 6 weeks age (BW 875 ± 28.3 g) were randomly allocated among six groups in different levels of barley grains (BG); 0 (B0), 5 (B5), 10 (B10), 15 (B15), 20 (B20), 25% (B25) of the total diet on growth performance and carcass composition of rabbits . The highest live BW value (P < 0.05) was obtained in B20 rabbits, whereas the highest feed intake (P < 0.05) value was obtained in B25 rabbits followed by those fed on the other diets. The better-feed conversion ratio (FCR) was obtained in B20 rabbits followed by those of B15 and B25. Animals of B20 had better FCR than those of the other experimental diets. The relative contribution of soft feces to dry matter or crude protein intake differed (P < 0.05) among the experimental diets. The caecal turnover rate was increased (P < 0.05) in B15 and B20 rabbits than those other diets. The per-slaughter weight, hot and cold carcass weight and dressing percentage were differed (P < 0.05) among the experimental groups and highest values were recorded in B20 rabbits. Data suggested that a partial replacement of corn grains (CG) by 20% BG in rabbit diets was increased live body weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio.

Authors: Mendonca Marcelo Da Costa , Santos M. da F. , Silva-Mann R. , Ferreira J.M.
Published: February 2025

Beauveria bassiana has been used for the control of agricultural pests. However, the genetic diversity of these fungi in the State of Sergipe, Brazil has been poorly studied. The objective of this study was to quantify the genetic diversity of B. bassiana isolates by means of RAPD markers, microsatellites, and rDNA-ITS regions, relating their origins and different geographic hosts. Nineteen primers were used in the RAPD analysis, and four primer pairs were used as microsatellite markers. The rDNA-ITS of 18S rDNA region were evaluated using primers ITS 1 and ITS 4. The RAPD analysis showed genetic similarities from 2% to 77%. Isolates 057.99 and 053.96 had the highest similarity (77%), followed by 064.99 and 053.96, with 73% similarity. With regard to microsatellites, isolates BC.05 and 032.91 showed the highest genetic similarity (82%), followed by 064.99 and 057.99 isolates, with 80% genetic similarity. The analysis of the rDNA-ITS region showed an intense fragment with 550pb for all isolates. PCR products were digested with EcoRI and HaeIII, but no restrictions were found for such products.
PARTICIPATORY EVALUATION OF SUSTAINABLE LAND USE AND TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION IN TWO AGROECOSYSTEMS
Authors: Ruiz Jaime , Perez Rafael , Aquino Teodulfo , Silva Maria
Published: February 2025

In order to identify the main agroecosystems, their limiting factors and adequate technological options, participatory approaches, such as community ranking, were used in a micro-hydrological basin in Central Oaxaca, Mexico. This area is characterized by small farm size (1-2 ha), low input agriculture and low standards of living. The results of a pretested survey were presented at community meetings and were subjected to discussion to rank the problems found in order of importance. Overall, the main production constraints were: low soil fertility, insect pests and plant diseases, lack of rain and soil erosion. After field evaluations of several sustainable technologies, the following was found: a) organic mulching can reduce soil erosion, weeds and conserve soil moisture, b) intercropped green manures with maize could be a mean to improve soil fertility while still allowing producing this staple crop, c) composting of crop residues with weeds and farmyard manure was also promoted amongst the peasants, but only a few of them adopted this practice due mostly to high labor requirements and d) even though it is an expensive technology, the use of floating row covers to produce tomatoes and hot peppers was quickly adopted by the peasants. It was concluded that the best way to convince the peasants to adopt a technological innovation is to show them that it works under their own circumstances.

Spiders can contribute to control of pest insects. Web-weaver spiders are common in many agroecosystems and, being sedentary, they are adequate for this type of studies. This paper deals with prey selection by four species of spiders, two orb-weavers (OW) and two cob-weavers (CW) and differences in diets, among species and among guilds, were analyzed. Field work was done in a cocoa plantation in Chiapas, Mexico, where the potential and actual preys for each spider species were sampled. Composition and proportion of captured prey differ from that of potential prey, showing a biased predation from their environmental availability. Spiders showed differences in diet composition and amplitude. OW had more specializaed diets than the CW, but overlap analyses shown higher similitude among CW, revealing that OW share a lower number of prey in common than the CW. Each of the four spider species over-predated several families of pest insects, but CW over-predated a higher proportion of these.

Published: February 2025

Reproduction is the basis of bovine meat and milk production: As a direct result of reproduction, the cycles of calf and milk production are renewed. However, there are many limiting steps in this process as: low pregnancy rates and long open days that result in increasing parturition intervals. Reproductive efficiency in dairy and beef cattle is multifactorial. Nutrition is one of the most important factors affecting this efficiency, and some results have shown that feeding diverse sources of lipids and specifically, fatty acids (FA) can result in a better reproductive efficiency. As a nutrition strategy to improve reproductive efficiency, FA of the omega 3 (n-3) and omega 6 (n-6) families have been studied, and it has been shown that these FA can control follicular development, production of progesterone in the corpus luteum, and secretion of PGF2α from the endometrium, increasing embryonic survival and pregnancy rates. The purpose of this revision is to analyze the possible mechanisms by which FA in the diet improve reproductive efficiency of cows, with especial emphasis on FA n-3 and n-6.
ECOLOGICAL NICHE MODELING AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT UNITS (UMAS): AN APPLICATION TO DEER IN CAMPECHE, MEXICO
Authors: Escalante Tania , Marti­nez-Meyer Enrique
Published: February 2025

The Units for the Conservation, Management and Sustainable Use of Wildlife (UMAs) are instruments of conservation and management of specific species in Mexico. UMAs represent in southeastern Mexico an important way for deer management, but they have major problems related to the monitoring of species. In this paper, we propose a methodology based on the use of a ‘niche centroid approach’ for estimating ecological distances to the niche centroid in order to produce distribution maps containing information on the potential relative abundance of species to evaluate the capability of UMAs to maintain populations of deers. We modeled the abundance for Mazama temama, M. pandora and Odocoileus virginianus on the state of Campeche, Mexico. Our predictions of areas with most abundance of deer coincided with reports from literature. We identified the UMAs “Ik Balam” and “Ejido Carlos Cano Cruz” as areas with high proportion of suitable environment, while UMAs “Betito y Lupita”, “El Huanal”, “Puh”, “Refugio faunístico Jalotum”, “Ría Lagartos-Ría Celestun” and “Yocol Cab Balam” have not environmental conditions adequate to maintain deer populations. Although this is a preliminary study, it can be a starting point to establish institutional standards for the management of species.

Coccothrinax readii, is a palm endemic to the Yucatan coast, its successful establishment in stressful environments suggests that factors such as mycorrhizal association may determine its success, the question arose in this work, assess environmental conditions which states and to describe their particular characteristics related to the anatomy of their roots and mycorrhizal colonization in three different seasons over a year. The study site was the coastal dune scrub of San Benito, Yucatan, where he placed a data logger that measurements performed ambient temperature (T), relative humidity (HR) and photosynthethic photon flux (PPF) for five days in dry, rainy and windy, also determinedÂ  the total phosphorus and extractable of the soil. The results indicate significant fluctuations of environmental variables throughout the year, on the other hand, the presence of the velamen on the roots of C. readii not restrict arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization. This association is affected by microenvironmental conditions, as during the dry season, when environmental conditions are unfavorable, the colonization percentage is higher than in the windy season, when microenvironmental conditions are more favorable.

The abandonment of projects is one of the problems faced by institutions involved in promoting rural Mexico, however, there have been experiences that have encouraged their retention. One factor that enables their success, is the participatory approach (EP). Hence the importance of reviewing how institutions can incorporate this approach into their practices. We analyzed the progress of the EP in two institutions (UNCADER and INIFAP) and a nongovernmental organization (UGOCP), considering the philosophical and policy factors, as well as the methodological and operational ones. The research was approached as case study from a qualitative and quantitative point of view. Both the institution and its promoter were considered for the research, which involved semi-structured interviews, participants observation and document review. For UNCADER and INIFAP participation represents a methodological tool that improves the efficiency of institutional planning, whereas for UGOCP is a civil right that allows processes of organization mobilization. For UNCADER, participation has been symbolic, therefore real participatory aproech represents a challenge to the organization´s culture. In INIFAP, the birth of a project is a critical point that needs to be strengthened to implement participatory methodologies. Finally, the participatory mechanisms used by UGOCP involve authentic participation.

Democracy, Equality, and Justice
Authors: Hill John E.
Published: February 2025

Challenging common interpretations of the political thought of John Adams and Adam Smith, Democracy, Equality and Justice offers an engaging and novel portrait of the political economy in America at its founding. The founders believed that liberty should not trump community, but should exist within the context of community. Drawing on extensive written records of the thought of John Adams and Adam Smith, the father of modern capitalism, Dr. John E. Hill argues that these two great men advocated a balanced, values-based, and just political economy. Adams, historically misperceived as a rugged individualist who favored aristocracy over democracy, actually emphasized political balance with no one socio-economic class dominating any other. Smith, incorrectly portrayed as a supporter of laissez-faire government, advocated economic balance with no class or individual receiving special treatment from the government. Applying their values of universalism and moderation today would significantly broaden the definition of morality in contemporary politics. Democracy, Equality and Justice is a stimulating and sophisticated text that will encourage debate over the relationship between historical ideas and contemporary economic problems.
Mass Mediated Disease
Authors: Blakely Debra E.
Published: February 2025

Influenza is a continuing news story with three clearly defined pandemics. Spanning a history of over fifty years, Mass Mediated Disease focuses on the Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918, the Asian influenza pandemic of 1957, and the Hong Kong influenza pandemic of 1968, by discussing news stories reported by the New York Times, London Times, and other popular magazines. This groundbreaking work demonstrates that the social construction of influenza changed over time, which was reflected by the mass media, and ultimately resulted in public policies that clearly illustrate the link between media and policy formation in the United States. This comprehensive history serves as an example for future incidents involving mass casualties or mass contamination from infectious agents_especially on what to expect, what to do, and what not to do regarding the crisis response, reportage, and resulting policies.
The Paradox of Philosophical Education
Authors: Lomax Harvey J.
Published: February 2025

The Paradox of Philosophical Education: Nietzsche's New Nobility and the Eternal Recurrence in Beyond Good and Evil is the first coherent interpretation of Nietzsche's mature thought. Author Harvey Lomax pays particular attention to the problematic concept of nobility which concerned the philosopher during his later years. This sensitive reading of Nietzsche examines nobility as the philosopher himself must have seen it: as a true and powerful longing of the human soul, interwoven with poetry, philosophy, religion, and aristocratic politics. Both a close textual analysis and a thoughtful reconceptualization of Beyond Good and Evil, The Paradox of Philosophical Education penetrates beyond the philosopher's mask of caustic irony to the face of the real Nietzsche: a lover of wisdom whose work sought to resurrect it in all its Socratic splendor
Secular Spirituality
Authors: Sharp Lynn L.
Published: February 2025

Secular Spirituality challenges the traditional dichotomy between Enlightenment reason and religion. It follows French romantic socialists' and spiritists' search for a new spirituality based on reincarnation as a path to progress for individuals and society. Leaders like Allan Kardec argued for social reform; spiritist groups strove for equality; and women mediums challenged gender roles. Lynn L. Sharp looks closely at what it meant to practice spiritism, analyszing the movement's social and political critique and explaining the popularity of the new belief. She explores points of convergence and conflict in the interplay between spiritism and science, spiritism and psychology, and spiritism and the Catholic church to argue that the nineteenth century was not as 'disenchanted' as has been thought. Secular Spirituality successfully places spiritism within a larger cultural conversation, going beyond the leaders of the movement to look at the way spiritism functioned for its followers.
Warlords Rising
Authors: Thomas Troy S. , Kiser Stephen D. , Casebeer William D.
Published: February 2025

Violent non-state actors (VNSA) often serve a destabilizing role in nearly every humanitarian and political crisis faced by the international community. As non-state armed groups gain greater access to resources and networks through global interconnectivity, they have come to dominate the terrain of illegal trade in drugs, guns, and humans. Warlords Rising arms those confronting the mounting challenge by delivering an innovative, interdisciplinary framework of analysis designed to improve understanding of non-state adversaries in order to affect their development and performance. Examining the utility of traditional theories of deterrence and warfighting in light of the insight gained through this interdisciplinary approach, the authors elevate the powerful role of environmental shaping in group development, recast deterrence in ecological terms, and lay out a strategy to defeat non-state adversaries if necessary. Whether the goal is preventing, coercing, or conquering, the framework of analysis presented here is designed to be universal, allowing for structured analysis across regions, types, and functions of non-state actors and providing the decision maker and policy maker witha variety of modes and methods of intervention.
Refiguring Melodrama in Film and Television
Authors: Zarzosa Agustín
Published: February 2025

The notion of mode is critical in the reevaluation of melodrama. As a mode, melodrama appears not only as a dramatic genre pervaded by sensationalism, exaggerations, and moral polarities, but also as a cultural imaginary that shapes the emotional experience of modernity, characterized by anxiety, moral confusion, and the dissolution of hierarchy. Despite its usefulness, the notion of mode remains mystifying: What exactly are modes and how do they differ from genres? Refiguring Melodrama in Film and Television: Captive Affects, Elastic Sufferings, Vicarious Objects argues that, whereas genres divide a universe in terms of similarities and differences, modes express or modify an indivisible whole. This study contends that the melodramatic mode is concerned with the expression of the social whole in terms of suffering. Zarzosa explains how melodrama is not a cultural imaginary that proclaims the existence of a defunct moral order in a post-sacred world, but an apparatus that shapes suffering and redistributes its visibility. The moral ideas we associate with melodrama are only a means to achieve this end.
Shifting Perceptions of Migration in Senegalese Literature, Film, and Social Media
Authors: Rofheart Mahriana
Published: February 2025

In Shifting Perceptions of Migration in Senegalese Literature, Film, and Social Media, MahrianaRofheart proposes a revised understanding of Senegalese migration narratives by asserting the importance of both local and global connections in recent novels, hip-hop songs, and documentary videos. Much previous research on migration narratives in French from Africa has suggested that contemporary authors often do not consider their countries of origin upon departure and instead focus on life abroad or favor a global perspective. Rofheart instead demonstrates that today’s Senegalese novelists and hip-hop artists, whether living in France or Senegal, express connections to communities both in Senegal and abroad to cope with the traumatic experience of emigration and return. Ultimately, Rofheart asserts that Senegalese national identity remains significant to the way these authors and artists respond to migration.

In her examination of novels in French, hip-hop songs in French and Wolof, and online documentaries, as well as the social and economic currents that influence the texts’ production and circulation, Rofheart engages with scholarship on transnationalism, postcolonialism, popular culture, and new media studies. The study’s initial chapters address well-known works from the mid-twentieth century, including Cheikh Hamidou Kane’s Ambiguous Adventure, as well as the films of Ousmane Sembène, and Djibril Diop Mambéty. This bookthen demonstrates how novelists such as Aminata Sow Fall and Fatou Diome, as well as hip-hop artists including Simon and Awadi, break with previous tragic depictions of migration in novels and films to present successful responses to the contemporary context of frequent emigration from Senegal.
Heartland Tobacco War
Authors: Givel Michael S. , Spivak Andrew L.
Published: February 2025

Heartland Tobacco War chronicles the political and public relations battles between health advocates and forces supported by the tobacco industry in Oklahoma from the 1980s to the present. Michael S. Givel and Andrew L. Spivak draw on previously-suppressed tobacco insider documents and first-hand interviews with key players in the conflict. This story of pro- and anti-tobacco lobbying and legislation in the nation’s heartland especially highlights the unique role of Oklahoma’s “renegade” Department of Health Commissioner, Dr. Leslie Bietsch. After decades of political dominance by the tobacco industry, this single maverick bureaucrat in the early 2000s bypassed the usual insider politics of the legislature and employed aggressive public campaign strategies to bring about sweeping legal victories for clean indoor air and tobacco taxes in a very conservative state. The authors examine the Commissioner’s aggressive advocacy in the context of insider and outsider policy advocacy, public administration ethics, the politics of bureaucratic activism and administrative lawmaking, and direct democracy.

Heartland Tobacco War tells a story that will be of great relevance to public health practitioners, historians, health activists, health policy scholars, sociologists, public administration scholars, social movement and public interest group scholars, political scientists, public policy scholars, and anyone else interested in the politics of the tobacco industry.
Death of a Holy Land
Authors: Levinson Rose L.
Published: February 2025

Death of a Holy Land: Reflections in Contemporary Israeli Fiction, by Rose Levinson, uses the work of four contemporary Israeli authors as a lens into present-day Israel. Discussing the novels of Orly Castel-Bloom, Michal Govrin, Zeruya Shalev, and Yoram Kaniuk, the book argues for a new understanding of today’s Israel. Crucial to renewed awareness is a view of the country that jettisons the notion of Israel as an exceptional, sacred state immune from 21st century discontents. Attention is focused on ways in which many of Israel’s most pressing problems are linked to long-standing issues of Jewish identity. Continual reference to the novels gives weight and substance to Death of a Holy Land’s underlying insistence on the need for a critical view of Israel as a country deeply ill-at-ease with itself.

However, their determination, innovation, and resilience always helped them to overcome the struggles.
Military Chaplains As Agents of Peace
Authors: Moore S. K.
Published: February 2025

Globally, where faith and political processes share the public space with indigenous populations, religious leaders of tolerant voice, who desire to transcend the conflict that often divides their peoples, are coming forward. Affirming and enabling these leaders is increasingly becoming the focus of the reconciliation efforts of peace builders, both internally and externally to existing conflict.

By way of theoretical analysis and documented case studies from a number of countries, Military Chaplains as Agents of Peace considers Religious Leader Engagement (RLE) as an emerging domain that advances the cause of reconciliation via the religious peace building of chaplains: A construct that may be generalized to expeditionary, humanitarian, and domestic operational contexts. An overview of the benefits and limitations of RLE is offered and accompanied by a candid discussion of a number of the more perplexing questions related to such operational ministry: Influence Activities, Information Gathering for Intelligence Purposes, and the Protected (Non-Combatant) Status of Chaplains.
Giorgio Strehler Directs Carlo Goldoni
Authors: Malia Scott
Published: February 2025

Giorgio Strehler Directs Carlo Goldoni uses Giorgio Strehler’s Goldoni productions (and Arlecchino servitore di due padroni in particular) as a means to defining his directorial aesthetic. The book provides a framework for examining the director’s career that is expansive rather than restrictive, using Goldoni and Arlecchino servitore di due padroni as a through-line for Strehler’s fifty-year career at the Piccolo Teatro di Milano. This research defines Strehler’s multifaceted style and brings to light interrelationships among his various works, creating a base from which a variety of subsequent critical inquiries can be made. It also establishes Strehler’s identity within the larger scope of the Italian theatre as a whole. Finally, it creates the critical challenge of finding more expansive notions of directorial style and concept that unite diverse ideologies without delimiting our understanding of the director. Crucial to understanding Strehler’s work with Arlecchino servitore di due padroni is his consistent reinterpretation of the play, which received no less than five distinct productions during Strehler’s lengthy career. His repeated reworking of existing productions provides a baseline for examining what elements were maintained and what elements changed or evolved. The four key influences that defined Strehler’s aesthetic in his work with Arlecchino were commedia dell’Arte, Bertolt Brecht, “refractive theatricality” and Jacques Copeau. Through these productions, Strehler created a dialogue with his audience and helped change the reputation of Carlo Goldoni both in his own country and abroad.
The Cross and Reaganomics
Authors: Crouse Eric R.
Published: February 2025

The Cross and Reaganomics: Conservative Christians Defending Ronald Reagan, by Eric R. Crouse, offers important insights on why Reaganomics was a major reason conservative Christians supported Reagan at the polls. On election night in November 1980, Americans witnessed the victory of a conservative to the presidency. With the United States experiencing economic stagnation and high inflation, many were hopeful of Ronald Reagan’s deeds matching his optimistic rhetoric of America’s potential. What followed was a decade of economic transformation, military buildup, and a political awakening of conservatism. One story that has not received much attention is the relationship between conservative Christians and Ronald Reagan’s economic policies. Crouse argues that conservative Christians were among the strongest champions of limited government, free enterprise (particularly small business), and anticommunism. A surprising number of conservative Christian leaders discussed the works of major free market economists. Conservative Christians embraced and tapped into the traditional American values of individual opportunity, personal responsibility, and human freedom—all themes they believed were front and center in Reaganomics. Although American pluralism prevented any plan to Christianize the nation by politics, in the sphere of economics conservative Christians did witness political and cultural gains.
Different Paths, Different Summits
Authors: Kaplan Stephen
Published: February 2025

In a world where religious pluralism is a necessity of modern life, diverse religions exist for the diverse people populating the earth. Theologically, how do people of different faiths find liberation in their separate gods simultaneously? Stephen Kaplan answers this question with his new book, Different Paths, Different Summits. He presents a model for religious pluralism that does not fall victim to the criticisms of pluralist models. Religious positions do not need to be transcended in order for varying faiths to be both honored and liberating simultaneously. Kaplan skillfully depicts three different realties, a theistic ultimate reality, a monistic ultimate reality, and a process non-dualism, along with their beliefs. His model allows for each to exit simultaneously, mutually interpenetrating and distinct.
