The Scattering and Sharing of Wisdom around the World
Authors: Tsang Martin
Published: May 2024

Martin Tsang was born in southeast England to Chinese and Swiss parents. Having attended Spiritualism sessions from a young age, he became progressively interested in world religions. After learning about the orishas through a television program on the renovation of the Oshún Grove in Oshogbo, Nigeria, something about the goddess piqued his interest. In 1995, after unsuccessfully trying to find orisha practitioners in the UK, Martin started searching further abroad and contacted an ilé or Lucumí orisha house in Michigan. In 1997, he traveled to the US at the age of 17 to seek induction in the religion. He continued to visit several times a year to learn with his orisha god family and become initiated as a priest of Yemayá in 2001. In 2008 Martin relocated to Miami and completed a doctorate in anthropology on Chinese influence in Afro-Cuban religions.
Finding Home in the River
Authors: Page Morgan M.
Published: May 2024

Through reflections on the author’s own religious conversion to the Lucumí (Santería) religion, this chapter explores issues of cross-cultural contact, cultural appropriation, and the evolving role of transgender and gender nonconforming people in Afro-Diasporic religions. Threaded through these personal experiences are discussions of the complex roles that race, language, HIV/AIDS, and queerness have played in the historical development of Lucumí’s global spread.
How I Came to the Tradition
Authors: Kucklick-Arencibia Sue
Published: May 2024

Sue Kucklick was born and raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, where her family owned a furniture store. She first encountered Orisha tradition on a trip to Florida. The people with whom she was staying had offended a Cuban artist by not paying for his work. Strange things began to occur around the house. Sue had a significant experience late one night. What seemed to be a female spirit approached and said what was going on was witchcraft and to not take anything from the house lest she becomes caught up in it. She often wondered about the experience since someone said what was happening was Santería. A few years later, she joined an esoteric study group. One of the topics was divination. She was assigned geomancy. A few trips to the library later, she found some recent books about geomancy. She investigated the sources and began looking into the Ifá tradition of West Africa. When she encountered ’Wándé Abímbọ´lá’s book about Ifá divination poetry, she knew she had found her path. Sue was initiated for Oshún in 1996. She works now as a professional counselor in an inner-city clinic.
Finding My Place in the Lucumí Tradition as an African American Woman
Authors: González Terri-Dawn
Published: May 2024

Terri-Dawn González is of African American Louisiana Creole heritage. She was born and grew up in Los Angeles, California. Terri-Dawn’s first exposure to African and Afro-Caribbean spirituality occurred when she was a curious teenager exploring the library of an older cousin who was an ethnomusicologist. She commenced her undergraduate studies at Xavier University in New Orleans, Louisiana, and took the opportunity to reconnect with her family and Afro-Creole culture. As a student, she explored graduate theses and doctoral dissertations regarding Yoruba religion and devised her own, unofficial program of religious study. In 1999, Terri-Dawn was ordained as a priestess of the Orisha Oshún in San Miguel del Padron, a suburb of Havana, Cuba, renowned for its deep Afro-Cuban religious history. Her relationship with the orishas and with her religious family has intensified with each passing year, and those relationships supported her marriage to a Lucumí priest of Obatalá, they manifested the healthy births of her two children, and they have upheld her through the loss of her husband to cancer. Terri-Dawn is employed by a public policy research institute in Los Angeles, California, and she continues to study the religion and manages an active Ilé Oshá, or house of orisha worship.
Zorn und Vergebung
Authors: Nussbaum Martha
Published: May 2024

Wir leben in einer Kultur des Entschuldigens und Vergebens. Doch während einige Denker Vergebung als zu unterwürfig angreifen und die Vergeltung bevorzugen, kritisiert Martha Nussbaum in ihrem neuen Werk die Vergebung aus einem anderen Grund: denn in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen wird die Vergebung zu einem Mittel der Disziplinierung und Schuldzuweisung. Die bekannte Philosophin Martha Nussbaum erforscht, mit einem großen Repertoire von literarischen und philosophischen Referenzen, die Konzepte von Zorn und Vergebung im persönlichen und politischen Zusammenhang. Dabei kommt sie zu dem Schluss, dass diese nicht die richtige Antwort auf eine Kränkung sind. Ähnlich den griechischen Stoikern plädiert sie für eine Kultur der Gelassenheit. Nussbaum fordert, dass der Mensch sich bewusst wird, wie belanglos die meisten Kränkungen sind, und damit den Zorn erst gar nicht entstehen lässt.
Preußen bewegt die Welt
Authors: Bremm Klaus-Jürgen
Published: May 2024

Der Siebenjährige Krieg als ›erster Weltkrieg der Geschichte‹Im deutschen Geschichtsbewusstsein gilt der Siebenjährige Krieg von 1756 bis 1763 vor allem als glorioser Sieg Preußens über die Habsburgermonarchie. Friedrich II. erwarb durch seine Erfolge als Feldherr die Bezeichnung ›Friedrich der Große‹. Doch in Wirklichkeit war dieser Konflikt kein preußischer oder mitteleuropäischer Krieg, sondern - mit den Worten des britischen Premierministers und Literaturnobelpreisträgers Sir Winston Churchill - ›der erste Weltkrieg der Geschichte‹. Dieser Krieg, in den alle europäischen Mächte involviert waren, betraf sogar die englischen und französischen Kolonien in Übersee.Der renommierte Militärhistoriker Klaus-Jürgen Bremm erläutert die historischen Hintergründe und die weitreichenden Konsequenzen dieses globalen Krieges.Europas Staaten im Zeitalter der Aufklärung: Konflikte, Koalitionen und IntrigenKampf an vielen Fronten: Frankreich und Großbritannien ringen um die Kolonien in Nordamerika und Indien, während Preußen gegen Österreich und Russland stehtSchlaglichter auf bedeutende Kriegsschauplätze: die Schlachten von Kolin und Kunersdorf, Leuthen, Roßbach und ZorndorfKriegsende 1763: hohe Opferzahlen und die Friedensschlüsse von Hubertusburg und ParisAus der Reihe wbg Paperback: für alle, die mehr über unsere Geschichte wissen wollenPreußen auf dem Weg zur Großmacht - das neue europäische KräfteverhältnisNach schlachten- und verlustreichen Jahren waren die politischen Machtverhältnisse in Europa auf den Kopf gestellt, mit zerbrochenen Allianzen und neuen Verbündeten.

Two Interviews with Margarethe von Trotta
Authors: Peary Gerald
Published: May 2024

Two interviews with the German filmmaker, Margarethe von Trotta, make up this chapter in which she talks about the filming of Sheer Madness and The Long Silence. Von Trotta defends Sheer Madness against the charge that it is anti-male feminism, though her film shows that men act badly, jealously, when confronted with women’s intense friendships She recalls her childhood and her unappreciative father and doting mother, and how she switched from being a film actress to making her own movies. Divorced from her husband, director Volker Schlöndorff, she met a political journalist named Felice Laudadio, and she moved from Germany to Italy. He encouraged her to direct The Long Silence about the escalating terror in Southern Italy exemplified by bold Mafia slayings of sitting judges.
Bill Forsyth
Authors: Peary Gerald
Published: May 2024

This chapter features an interview with Scotland’s most important filmmaker, Bill Forsyth. He reminisces about his early days as an unappreciated Glasgow experimental filmmaker and how he was hampered with extreme shyness directing the actors in his first feature, That Sinking Feeling. He talks of casting Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert in his most popular film, Local Hero, but fears that audiences didn’t understand the film, reading it in a wrongly sentimental way. He feels audiences rejected his next work, Comfort and Joy, because they misread it as “a jolly farce.” He speaks of the planning for a new film, Housekeeping, from the book by Marilyn Robinson.
Gatewood
Authors: Strandmark Matthew
Published: May 2024

When Louis Gatewood Galbraith passed away in 2012, the flood of tributes honoring him merely scratched the surface of the life of this colorful and controversial figure. Throughout his political career, regional and national media outlets focused on the policy ideas and public acts that made Galbraith a cultural fixture: public demonstrations, an affinity for recreational drug use, unfiltered language, and recurring political campaigns. Best known as an advocate for the legalization of cannabis, Second Amendment rights, and smaller government, Galbraith was a perennial candidate whose once-quixotic platform might have found traction in contemporary Kentucky politics.
In Gatewood: Kentucky's Uncommon Man, Matthew Strandmark weaves together personal stories, public records, and oral history interviews to provide a comprehensive overview of the life and career of an eccentric and fascinating figure. From his ailment-plagued childhood in Carlisle, Kentucky, to his young adulthood spent at the fringes of Lexington society, the opening chapters of Galbraith's life were vital in developing the values that later came to define his political career—his passion for rural communities and low tolerance for bullies. As a college dropout in the 1960s, Galbraith explored both conventional and unconventional avenues of self-discovery before returning to the University of Kentucky, where he graduated from law school and found his calling as an evangelist for cannabis legalization. His appetite for the spotlight and his penchant for standing up for the underdog launched Galbraith into a thirty-year career of campaigning, groundbreaking legal cases, public activism throughout the commonwealth—and friendships with celebrities, including Woody Harrelson, Jack Herer, and Willie Nelson.
As an attorney, activist, author, father, friend, and opponent, Galbraith wore many hats—and not just his beloved fedora. This revealing biography features insightful conversations with Galbraith's family and colleagues, as well as commentary from Paul E. Patton, Ernie Fletcher, Andy Barr, Ben Chandler, and other well-known Kentuckians. Gatewood provides a richer and nuanced understanding of a generous, complicated, and flawed public figure who devoted his life to helping others and whose legacy will continue to resonate with Kentuckians for generations to come.

Authors: Naisabur Nanang , Putra Haris Maiza
Published: May 2024

The challenge of mandatory halal regulations contained in Law Number 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantees (UU JPH) and its derivatives, means that products entering, circulating and being traded in Indonesian territory must be halal certified. However, until now there are still micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Indonesia that have not fulfilled this requirement. So the Indonesian government, in this case BPJPH, needs Pentahelix synergy by providing stricter outreach to business actors in its implementation. The aim of this research is to reveal the challenges faced by micro and small enterprises (UMK) throughout Indonesia in fulfilling halal certification obligations. The method used in this research is analytical descriptive analysis, namely describing and analyzing the challenges of micro and small enterprises (UMK) throughout Indonesia in fulfilling halal certification obligations. The research results prove that based on the JPH regulations, there are 3 product groups that must be halal certified as of October 17 2024, namely first, food and beverage products. Second, raw materials, food additives and auxiliary materials for food and beverage products. Third, slaughtered products and slaughtering services. For micro and small enterprises (UMK) throughout Indonesia who have not carried out their halal certification obligations, they will be subject to sanctions in the form of written warnings, administrative fines, and the withdrawal of goods from circulation. It was stated that the sanctions applied were in accordance with the provisions in PP No. 39/2021 concerning the Implementation of the Halal Product Guarantee Sector.

INQUIRY BASED HIGH-TECH APPROACH: TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Authors: Şenöz Eda , Alpar Melek
Published: May 2024

Information Communication Technologies (ICT) have gained primary importance in language classes since today each learner has a technological device beside their books in the classroom. Moreover, internet connection is provided in every classroom. Especially the language classes benefit from the internet in different ways. Inquiry-based approach and technology are intertwined. This approach is called the inquiry-based high-tech approach. The inquiry-based high-tech approach is a learning process engaging learners in making real-life connections by high-level inquiry and discovery. Learners discover by experiencing themselves and solving problems through technology usage in the classrooms. Hence, the aim of this study is to reveal the experience of teaching with the inquiry-based high-tech approach in a language class. The inquiry-based High-Tech approach is applied through three general phases after ice-breaking: warm-up for inquiry, data collection and general overview. Although it requires a certain level of language knowledge and motivation to apply, it works perfectly with a suitable group of learners even though there are learners with special needs. Teacher becomes a guide and the learners become the actors of their own learning processes.

Perbedaan Tingkat Academic Burnout pada Siswa Ditinjau dari Jenis Sekolah SMA/SMK/MA
Authors: Putri Aisyah Amini , Magistarina Elrisfa
Published: May 2024

The condition of exhaustion experienced by students as a result of excessive pressure to meet academic demands at school is also known as academic burnout. Burnout in students can lead to an increased risk of depression and decreased academic performance. The different operational curriculum used by each type of school results in students experiencing different academic demands. This study aims to see differences in the level of academic burnout among students in terms of the type of school, SMA / SMK / MA. The research method used is quantitative with a comparative causal approach. The subjects of this study were high school students in West Sumatra. The total subjects in this study were 165 people. The level of students' academic burnout was measured using the academic burnout scale adapted from Maharani (2019). The scale was adapted from a measurement tool developed by Schaufeli et al. (2002), MBI-SS (Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey). The results showed that there was no significant difference in the level of academic burnout among students in terms of school type. However, the average score of MA students is higher than that of SMA and SMK students.
Congenital Malrotation of the Midgut Presenting as Acute Duodenal Obstruction in a Teenager — A Case Report
Authors: Viswanathan Vivek
Published: May 2024

Background: Intestinal malrotation, a congenital anomaly, typically presents in neonates with midgut volvulus. However, recent studies suggest it may occur in adolescents and adults at a higher rate than previously thought. This case report investigates the presentation and management of malrotation with volvulus in an adolescent. Case Presentation: A 14-year-old boy presented with acute onset abdominal pain, vomiting, and a history of intermittent abdominal pain for several years. Initial diagnosis was gastritis, but imaging revealed malrotation with volvulus. He underwent a successful Ladd's procedure. Conclusion: This case emphasizes that malrotation can present with chronic or acute symptoms in adolescents. A high index of suspicion for malrotation is crucial, particularly in adolescents with recurrent abdominal pain. Early diagnosis and Ladd's procedure can prevent life-threatening complications.

(IBS) or Irritable bowel syndrome is a complicated health condition with different causative factors, including inflammation and infection, that have recently acquired as significant triggers of IBS. Inflammatory response might serve as a critical pathway in the progression of IBS, beside inequality in cytokines within the plasma and/or intestinal mucosal lining. Many biomarkers have been associated to possible mechanisms underlying IBS and are used to make differentiation between IBS and non-IBS subjects. Incorporation of these biomarkers into routine clinical work is important for fast and accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Because IBS patients often experience ambiguous and overlapping symptoms, the creation of precise biomarkers for IBS could significantly enhance both diagnosis and patient care. This review examines the cytokines used in the diagnosis and treatment of IBS, Classifying these cytokines as either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory and understanding their involvement in the development of irritable bowel syndrome.

The cost of doing nothing: Preventable premature births for at-risk women
Authors: Larwin Karen H. , Horne Susan E.
Published: May 2024

Background: The effects of poverty in the United States are growing, and the impacts are most severe for the already vulnerable populations. This analysis looks at the cost of doing nothing for at-risk pregnant women in one county in NE Ohio. Most of these women are living at or below the poverty level, lack safe, affordable, and stable housing, and often do not receive recommended levels of prenatal care. This examination uses data from Mahoning County, Ohio, where one program has provided wrap-around support for any at-risk pregnant mother since 2016. Objective: Examine the cost/savings of providing wrap-around support services to at-risk pregnant women. Methods: Data was provided by the Mahoning County Pathway HUB (MCPH) regarding all births since its 2016 inception. Data was extracted from the Ohio Department of Health, the CDC, and other sources regarding the cost of births and specifically premature births. These sources of data were analyzed using causal-comparative methods, in order to understand the frequency of premature births, with, and without the support services provided by the MCPH. Conclusion: The results of these causal-comparative analyses suggest that the cost of doing nothing for at-risk pregnant women is substantial for all stakeholders. Results demonstrate a savings of 2.45 million dollars for the five years included in the analysis. Because most of the services provided by the MCPH are billable to public health insurance, this model of supporting pregnant mothers who are at risk is important. The cost of doing nothing can lead to a lifetime of avoidable suffering and financial hardship for the women and infants who are born premature. The results from the MCPH suggest that this model of support and service delivery is making a difference, based on the lower-than-expected pre-term births over their tenure of operation.

Van, Türkiye'nin doğusunda yer aldığı için, Kuzey Anadolu Fay Hattı üzerinde bulunur ve bu nedenle deprem riski oldukça yüksek bir ildir. Van konumu ve coğrafi yapısı itibarıyla tarih boyunca, sel, çığ, heyelan ve özellikle deprem gibi doğa olaylarına maruz kalmıştır. Van'da 23 Ekim ve 9 Kasım 2011'de meydana gelen 7,2 ve 5,6 büyüklüğündeki iki deprem, şehir için bir dönüm noktası olmuştur. Bu depremlerin sonucunda can kayıpları, yaralanmalar ve büyük ölçekli maddi zararlar meydana gelmiş, şehrin yaşamı derinden etkilenmiştir. Bu afet, sadece Van'ı değil, tüm Türkiye'yi etkisi altına almış ve uluslararası yardım çağrılarını beraberinde getirmiştir. Sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi düşük mahallelerde yaşayan ekonomik düzeyi düşük aileler, göç edemedikleri için çadırlarda kış aylarını geçirmek zorunda kalmışlar ve depremin etkilerine çok daha fazla maruz kalmışlardır. Bu bağlamda yapılan çalışma, Van kent merkezine bağlı kenar mahallelerde yaşayan ekonomik açıdan dezavantajlı bireylerin deprem öncesi afetlere hazırlık süreçleri, deprem sonrası deneyimleri ve bu deneyimlere bağlı olarak nasıl hazırlandıkları, ayrıca deprem ile diğer doğa olaylarını nasıl anlamlandırdıklarını bilimsel bir perspektifle incelemeyi amaçlayan nitel bir saha araştırmasıdır. Van depremlerini yaşamış ve sosyal yardımlaşma ve dayanışma vakıflarından yardım alan evli 28 katılımcıyla derinlemesine mülakat tekniği kullanılarak, yoksulluk içindeki ailelerin deprem öncesi ve sonrası hazırlık süreçleri, afet deneyimleri ve depremleri nasıl değerlendirdikleri üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, ekonomik sıkıntılar içinde olan kesimler, afetlere karşı gereken önlemleri alma konusunda zorluklar yaşamakta ve genellikle kaderlerine razı olmaktadırlar.
Consensus, at what Cost?
Authors: McIntyre Juliette
Published: May 2024

After four applications for provisional measures, three sets of formal orders and two rounds of oral hearings, on Friday night, the International Court of Justice in South Africa v. Israel delivered a long-awaited Order. It is, to be frank, most unsatisfactory. While the Court is known for its “Solomonic” decisions, which try to give each party a little of what they asked for at times to no one’s satisfaction, this is not a maritime boundary delimitation where equidistance can be imposed in pursuit of impartiality.
بيع ما ليس عندك لدى المالكية

Published: May 2024

Every new onset, situation or phenomenon, positive or negative, there are obstacles, obstacles or difficulties you face, or perhaps you need to study more thoroughly and comprehensively including the use of western musical instruments in our eastern Iraqi music.The experience of using Western instruments in the music curriculum in Iraq has played a positive role while at the same time negatively affecting our music heritage in particular. Most music institutes and colleges in Iraq lack the teachers of Arabic authentic instruments such as Al Awd, Al Nai, Al Sinatour and Al Jawah. Because of the lack of a qualified teaching staff who give practical and applied lessons to these machines I have found the opportunity to study quickly this important and useful topic for us and our students, and I am sure I have come up with some indicators or conclusions, some negative and the other positive because it is an experience, we are taking for the first time but it remains the leading and ideal experience and it is sure to evolve in the years ahead.
Representations of Experimentation in Contemporary Arabic Theatre
Authors: Abdulsattar AbdThabet
Published: May 2024

Art is a dynamic and renewing aesthetic vision. Since the dawn of creativity, arts have sought to break away from tradition and embrace new forms and elements in response to intellectual and other changes. Theatre, in particular, has experimented with its structure and content due to its inherent flexibility and transformative nature. Social and environmental conditions in the Arab world have driven theatre practitioners towards innovation.Many Arab playwrights responded to the events of 1967 by adopting an experimental approach in theatre. Egyptian playwright Sayyed Hafez is a key figure who emerged in the 1970s, contributing significantly to the renewal of theatrical composition. Realizing that traditional theatre was no longer effective in engaging society, Hafez introduced innovative ideas.Until the early 1970s, Arab and Egyptian theatre was predominantly traditional. However, new efforts to revitalize it began with Hafez's experimental play "The Pride of Triviality in the Land of Meaninglessness," which broke classical norms and offered new perspectives on characters, settings, and heroism.Hafez continued his experimental approach in subsequent plays, such as "It Happened as It Happened but No Event Happened," "Silent Drums in the Blue Valleys," and "They Are as They Are but Not the Vagabonds." These works reflect his desire for rebellion and passion for experimentation in theatrical writing.This study aims to analyze the features of experimentation in Sayyed Hafez's theatrical texts and their impact on the construction of the theatrical text. The significance of the research lies in exploring these experimental tendencies, benefiting specialists in theatrical criticism. The objective is to identify representations of experimentation in Hafez's plays.

The Role of Informed Consent as Legal Protection for Doctors in Conducting Medical Procedures
Authors: Fitriana Dian
Published: May 2024

The field of Health Law recognizes Therapeutic Transactions as an agreement between a doctor and a patient, granting authority to the doctor to provide healthcare services to the patient based on their expertise and skills. Therapeutic transactions take the form of informed consent or approval of medical procedures before they are carried out. Informed consent involves the doctor explaining to the patient the condition of their illness and the medical procedures intended to address it, in the doctor's efforts to achieve recovery. Research findings indicate that informed consent plays a crucial role in the relationship between doctors and patients, serving as written evidence of the agreement between the doctor and the patient before medical procedures are undertaken. Informed consent can serve as the basis for proving whether a patient accepts or refuses a medical procedure, providing protection to the doctor. Legal protection for doctors is obtained as long as they carry out procedures in accordance with professional standards and operational procedures. For doctors, informed consent provides a sense of security when performing medical procedures on patients and can be used as a means of self-defense against potential claims or lawsuits from patients or their families if the medical procedure results in unintended consequences. Legal measures that doctors can take in the event of an undesired outcome related to medical procedures include attempting mediation with the patient first. If mediation fails or lacks good faith, the resolution may proceed through the legal system.
