Suicídio e demência: revisão sistemática
Authors: Moura Letice Lowry , Bruna Souza Carvalho  , Magalhães Gabriela Drummond , Sander Renata Cury
Published: August 2024

Introdução: O suicídio entre pacientes com demência é um problema de saúde pública que envolve complexas interações entre fatores neurológicos, psicológicos e sociais. A demência, caracterizada por um declínio progressivo das funções cognitivas, impacta profundamente a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar emocional dos pacientes, podendo aumentar o risco de comportamentos suicidas. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Esta revisão utiliza dados de artigos científicos publicados em bases de dados reconhecidas, como JAMA Psychiatry, PubMed e JAMA Neurology, analisando estudos brasileiros e internacionais sobre a prevalência, fatores de risco e estratégias de prevenção do suicídio em pacientes com demência. Resultados e discussão: Estudos indicam que o risco de suicídio é maior nos estágios iniciais da demência, quando os pacientes ainda possuem uma percepção mais clara de sua condição. Além disso, pacientes que recebem o diagnóstico de demência em idade relativamente jovem têm um fator preditor para aumento do risco de suicídio. Os achados sugerem que a identificação precoce de sintomas depressivos e a promoção de estratégias de enfrentamento são essenciais. O papel dos profissionais de saúde é crucial na monitorização contínua dos pacientes, além de oferecer apoio aos familiares e cuidadores. Considerações finais: A prevenção do suicídio em pacientes com demência requer uma abordagem multifacetada, que inclua avaliação contínua, suporte emocional e intervenções direcionadas aos fatores de risco identificados.

A absortometria com duplo raio X (DXA) é um método eficiente para avaliar a densidade mineral óssea (DMO) em pacientes pediátricos com SIC. Este estudo tem como objetivo revisar de forma integrativa a literatura existente sobre a utilização da DXA na monitorização da SIC pediátrica. A revisão inclui uma análise das publicações brasileiras relevantes, destacando os métodos, achados e implicações clínicas. Os resultados sugerem que a DXA é uma ferramenta crucial na avaliação da saúde óssea desses pacientes, permitindo intervenções precoces e direcionadas. Conclui-se que a implementação rotineira da DXA pode melhorar significativamente o manejo da SIC em pediatria.
Strategi Pemerintah dalam Mitigasi Banjir Kecamatan Dayeuhkolot
Authors: Sitorus David Natanael , Karniawati Nia
Published: August 2024

Flooding is a disaster that is commonly accepted to occur in Dayeuhkolot due to the frequent floods in that area. The floods are caused by the rapid metropolitan development of the basin in the city of Bandung. This change is evident from the increase in building density and the expansion of impermeable areas, the disposal of various types of waste into rivers causing significant sedimentation in the Citarum River, and the exploitation of groundwater, leading to a yearly decline in land surface. The presence of Bandung Regency Regional Regulation No. 02 of 2013 as an effort in disaster management is expected to be a solution to the flood problems in Bandung Regency. However, since the regulation was enacted 6 years ago, floods still frequently occur to this day. This situation arises due to poor communication between the community and policymakers, as well as inadequate resources for the implementation of the regulation. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The researcher employs a qualitative descriptive approach, focusing on the problems and understanding them by gathering information from sources. Based on the discussion results, the implementation of the Flood Disaster Mitigation Policy by BPBD Dayeuhkolot Village, Bandung Regency has not been maximized, and there are still problems and obstacles faced in its execution. This is indicated by issues found in Flood Disaster Prevention, Flood Disaster Emergency Response, and Flood Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction.

Processo de reinstitucionalização de crianças/adolescentes: o caso do Consórcio Intermunicipal de Assistência a Criança e Adolescente – Viçosa/MG
Authors:   , Firmino Dayse Oliveira
Published: August 2024

A presente dissertação trata de uma pesquisa acerca da problemática do processo de reinstitucionalização de crianças/adolescentes em uma cidade de porte médio – Viçosa/MG. Neste estudo, denomina-se processo de reinstitucionalização, quando a família, instituição de origem da criança e do adolescente, perde o poder familiar, sendo a criança e o adolescente encaminhados a uma outra instituição, no caso, um estabelecimento de acolhimento, que representa o Estado. O presente estudo buscou responder aos seguintes questionamentos: Quais motivos levam as crianças/adolescentes a um processo de reinstitucionalização? Quais seriam os fatores presentes na realidade de uma cidade de porte médio que possuem semelhança com os fatores apontados nos dados nacionais para esse fenômeno? Quais os principais fatores identificados como motivadores para a reinstitucionalização, em cidades de médio porte? Especificamente pretende-se analisar a reinstitucionalização de crianças e adolescentes, destacando os principais fatores que conduziram ao acolhimento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo descritivo-exploratório, caracterizando-se como um estudo de caso de natureza quali-quantitativa. Metodologicamente, foi realizado o estado da arte das produções científicas sobre a reinstitucionalização de crianças e adolescentes em situação de vulnerabilidade. Foi feito uso da Análise Institucional (AI), a partir da técnica denominada Análise de Papel, que é baseada na análise de documentos, por meio da consulta às guias de acolhimento e de desligamento de crianças e adolescentes, aos arquivos impressos de documentos históricos e relatórios técnicos produzidos no período compreendido entre 2009 a 2022, com informações sobre os principais motivos de acolhimento institucional de crianças e adolescentes no CIACA. Os resultados identificaram que a reinstitucionalização possui múltiplas determinações. Constatou-se que a simples retirada da criança do âmbito familiar não soluciona os problemas, porque essa medida não vem acompanhada das demais políticas públicas que garantam proteção a essas famílias. Pode-se verificar um alto índice de pais e/ou responsáveis usuários de álcool e outras drogas, como principal fator da reinstitucionalização de crianças e adolescentes. Destaca-se também a importância que as instituições envolvidas no acolhimento atuem, por meio de um trabalho interdisciplinar, e avaliem se a família tem acesso aos serviços que ajudem a superar os motivos que levarm a retirada da criança e /ou adolescente. Pode-se concluir que a reinstitucionalização possui ainda forte relação com a situação de pobreza e ausência de políticas públicas efetivas para o acompanhamento das famílias. Palavras - chave: crianças e adolescentes; políticas sociais; reinstitucionalização.
Impact of Gender Pay Gap on Workplace Productivity and Employee Morale in Canada
Authors: Emily Charlotte
Published: August 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of gender pay gap on workplace productivity and employee morale in Canada.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The gender pay gap in Canada negatively affects workplace productivity and employee morale. Disparities in pay can reduce motivation and engagement, leading to lower productivity and higher turnover. Female employees, in particular, experience decreased job satisfaction and trust in organizational fairness, affecting overall morale. This gap also hampers an organization's ability to attract and retain talent, impacting its effectiveness. Addressing pay equity is essential for improving productivity and maintaining a positive work environment.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Equity theory, social identity theory & motivation-hygiene theory may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the impact of gender pay gap on workplace productivity and employee morale in Canada. Transparent pay practices involve openly sharing information about salary ranges, promotion criteria, and compensation decisions within an organization. Implementing gender pay gap reporting requirements at a policy level mandates that organizations disclose data on gender-specific pay disparities.
Novel Neural Network Models for Predicting Mental Health Outcomes in the U.S. Youth Population
Authors: Verma Avi , Supekar Kaustubh
Published: August 2024

Anxiety and depression are two of the most pressing mental health issues, particularly among young adults. Given the success of neural networks for predictive modeling, we developed novel neural network models for classifying anxiety and depression using Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Mental Health Client- Level Data (SAMHSA MH-CLD) on 382,174 young adults (15 to 24 years old). The SAMHSA MH-CLD included mental health and general background data collected in 2020 for individuals reporting to state-accredited hospital service centers across the United States. The neural networks were trained on 10% randomized k-folds of the dataset and tested on the remaining 90% for each fold. We found that neural network models predicted anxiety and depression with high accuracy (91.5% to 94.2% accuracy, 8.4% to 3.1% loss), outperforming conventional statistical models. Additionally, for all tested variable sets, our neural network model outperformed expectations for the average therapist consultation (46% to 50% accuracy), as reported previously. For the optimal neural network model with the highest accuracy, the variables most correlated with anxiety and depression were age, education, gender, race, employment, marital status, and stressor events, not accounting for redundant and minimally correlated variables. The effectiveness of our neural network model indicates that it can be implemented alongside therapists in clinical environments to improve psychiatric diagnosis among young adults.
Digital Disorders of the Brain: Birth to Adolescent
Authors: Gulia Kaavya , Appavu Dr. Rajagopal , Kethar Jothsna
Published: August 2024

Dopamine, popularly known as the "feel good" neurotransmitter, is released by the brain when you become addicted to your device and use it for extended periods of time leading to poor impulse control and behavioral changes. The current findings of neuroscience research on the potential impacts of digital media use on brain chemistry, cognition, and behavior have recently become a more popular area for study since the development of technology has become very advanced in the last ten years. My initial thoughts were that device usage had a major impact on the brain which was proven to be correct by multiple serious of data and analysis. After extensive research I was proven to be correct and found many reasonings for this outbreak which will be referenced later. This area of research is crucial given the significant amount of time teens spend in front of screens. Regardless of many beneficial features of digital media, this effect has an everlasting impact on our mental health and well being. The processing of psychological indications, the development of language, as well as internet/game dependency have all been linked to neurological effects. However, it is argued that neuroscientists need to include datasets with greater precision in terms of what is done on screens, for how long, and at what age since much of the neuroscientific research performed up to now relies exclusively on self-reported parameters to assess social media usage
Development of a Machine Learning Model for Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease Stages Using Brain Image Patterns
Authors: Gore Alexander , Drosis Odysseas , Drosis Odysseas
Published: August 2024

The goal of this project was to increase the diagnostic accuracy of AI modelings in the detection of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a complex condition that requires early diagnosis for effective treatment. However, current diagnostic methods can have limitations. In this study, we developed a more advanced research model to detect AD. By utilizing both linear regression models and neural network, our model achieved excellent results with a test accuracy of 81.34% for the neural network model and 93.05% for the linear model
 
Unlike earlier models that focused on binary classification of Alzheimer's disease, our model goes beyond that by classifying different stages and severities of Alzheimer's. We utilized a large dataset found on Kaggle called the "Alzheimer's Dataset" [1] consisting of 5,121 images of four classes (Mild Demented, Non Demented, Very Mild Demented, and Moderate Demented). This research redemonstrates the potential of machine learning to improve diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer's disease.
Productivity of Demonym Suffixes in American English
Authors: Rajagopal Sumitra , Sriperumbudur Rajagopal
Published: August 2024

This paper will analyze the common suffixes used in English demonyms (adjectives relating a group of people to a particular place). These suffixes are not consistent across the English language; various ones include “-an/-ian” (ex: American), “-i” (ex: Israeli), “-ish” (ex: English), and “-ese” (ex: Chinese). I will examine the etymology of each of these suffixes and look for patterns in which cases each suffix is used, based on the time period during which the suffix was first used, the root word (i.e. the name of the place), and the locations of the places/people that the suffix applies to. I will gather my information by using etymological dictionaries to determine the origins of the suffixes (Oxford English Dictionary, Etymonline) and when they began being used with Google Ngram. I will also use a questionnaire to determine the productivity of each suffix. I will structure this project by analyzing the origins and evolution of each suffix in order of when they started being used for background, then explaining my survey and analyzing the data to come to a conclusion about the productivity of the suffixes.
THE CRIMES AND VICES OF ELAGABALUS. BUILDING BLOCKS FOR A CHARACTER ASSASSINATION
Authors: ICKS Martijn
Published: August 2024

The crimes and vices of Elagabalus. Building blocks for
a character assassination. The literary sources paint a very hostile picture of
Elagabalus, scorning him for his alleged effeminacy, excessive luxury and circle of
unworthy favourites, among many other points of criticism. While the veracity of
these claims is sometimes hard to establish, it is clear that they are part of a dis
course that seeks to discredit the emperor by emphasizing his flaws and down
playing or denying any positive traits he may have possessed. As such, they can be
regarded as a posthumous character assassination, a term which refers to the de
liberate destruction of an individual’s reputation. In this paper, I will examine va
rious “building blocks” that contributed to this character assassination, tracing
how allegations against Elagabalus built on well-worn tropes or contemporary
concerns, and how they developed over time.

Published: August 2024

This study examines the impact of public debt on infrastructural development in Nigeria from 1990-2022, as debt load has become one of the most critical impediments limiting recovery and growth on the continent, but if these debts both internally and externally sourced are being channelled and utilized effectively to improvement of public infrastructure might influences level of the economy, hence contentious in macroeconomics theories. Relying on data from the World Bank Development Indicators and the outcome of various pre-estimation tests ; the Augmented Dickey Fuller and Phillip Peron method were employed to determine the stationarity trend in the data, the correlation analysis to test the relationship between the variables, the study adopted the Auto Regressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) estimation technique to determine the relationship between public debt (proxied by domestic debt and external debt) and capital expenditure a proxy for public infrastructure in Nigeria. The long-run results revealed that external debt and internal debt is insignificant but have positive impact of capital expenditure in Nigeria, which implies the misallocation of funds to the development of infrastructures in the country. The study further revealed that the debt service payment and Inflation rate has negative impact of the capital expenditure at the current Lag but has positive association at Lag 1 and not statistically significant at both Lag. The study conclude that public debt positively impact infrastructural development in Nigeria. The research recommend that government should ensure that debts incurred are channel towards the specific and identified infrastructural productive projects and not just for solving short run problems

ABSTRACT
Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) by comparing its findings with the gold standard histological features of salivary gland lesions.
Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Histopathology, Islamabad Medical and Dental Hospital (IMDC), from January 2023 to December 2023, patients presenting with salivary gland swellings. Fifty-seven patients having salivary gland swelling were included on which both histological and cytological evaluation had been done. Twenty cases were excluded because either they had lack of correlation between FNAC and histology or on view of inadequate material. All the patients were clinically evaluated clinically and FNAC was done using 10ml disposable syringe and 23/24-gauge needle without using local anesthesia. The histopathology of the surgical specimens and cytology of the FNAC specimens were compared, and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were evaluated.
Results: On FNAC, 37 cases were diagnosed cytologically, as 9 cases identified malignant and 28 as benign. Histopathological examination confirmed 9 malignant cases and 25 benign cases, whereas 3 cases were classified as false positive. The specificity and sensitivity of FNAC were 75% and 94%, respectively. Overlapping cytological features, heterogeneity, and unsampled areas were the primary factors contributing to false-positive.
Conclusion: This study showed that salivary gland FNA cytology is a valuable diagnostic technique for salivary gland lesions, however due to great variation in pleomorphic adenoma, the samples must be confirmed by histopathological features.
O conceito de povo nos escritos de Maquiavel
Authors: Benetti Fabiana de Jesus
Published: August 2024

Minha tese, que recebeu como título O conceito de povo nos escritos de Maquiavel, começou a ser projetada em 2015 e completou seu tempo de formação em 2021, neste ano ela veio ao mundo e foi apresentada ao seu núcleo acadêmico. Ao final destes anos de trabalho, à pergunta: afinal, qual é a tese da tua tese? respondo que: a tese que apresentei e defendi em meu trabalho foi a de que não há uma definição que indique, de modo substancial, o que é povo nos escritos de Maquiavel, povo se diz não pelo o que é, mas pelo que deseja. A começar pelo Príncipe, quando Maquiavel apresenta o povo como um dos humores existentes em todas as cidades, ele não nos oferece elementos sociais ou econômicos que nos permitam definir povo; o que o autor faz é nos dizer sobre o desejo que constitui o humor popular: o desejo de não dominação. Quando passamos aos Discursos Sobre a Primeira Década de Tito Lívio e à História de Florença, a história parece mudar, tendo em vista que o povo ganha uma face socioeconômica, como é caso da plebe romana e do popolo florentino (populo minuto e popolo grasso). No entanto, a leitura dos textos faz perceber que estas características são contingentes e que elas servem para fazer conhecer de modo específico o povo romano e o povo florentino, mas não para identificar de modo genérico quem é povo no núcleo das relações políticas. E o que é que permitiria uma tal identificação? A nossa resposta é: novamente os desejos que os caracterizam, tendo em vista que Maquiavel vai reforçar nessas duas obras aquela definição que havia apresentado em O Príncipe: o povo é aquele que deseja não ser dominado, em contraponto aos grandes, que se caracterizam pelo desejo de dominação. Nesse texto, pretendo fazer uma breve apresentação do percurso de escrita da tese, começando pela delimitação temática que aconteceu no projeto apresentado na seleção de doutorado.

THE CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF RESEARCH OF INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS
Authors: Dauletova  , Baisultanova
Published: August 2024

International projects are a modern instrument of international relations . International projects promote global cooperation and the creation of partnerships between countries. They aim to solve global problems such as poverty, climate change, threats to the world, and promote sustainable development. Projects in the field of economics and trade help strengthe n economic ties between countries. In international projects, one can observe the connection between the project, the company and the country. An international project may be carried out by several companies and be carried out simultaneously in several countries and in more than one geographical region.Due to globalization and the development of transnational companie s , international projects cover many countries based on the principle of mutually beneficia l cooperation and risk sharing between participating states. In this regard, the theoretical and practical analysis of international projects for future success and possible risks is being updated. International projects strengthen international ties, support economic and social developme nt, provide a platform for cooperation and strengthen interaction between countries.Along with the positive aspects of state participation in international projects, there are certain risks and challenges. The purpose of this article is to analyze international projects; the objectives of the research are to reveal the essence of an international project, consider the main directions of research in the sphere of international projects, study the impact of risks on the implementation of international projects and their analysis.The authors made an attempt to study internationa l projects in the context of international relations, identify possible tools for determining its future success and the possibility of using these conclusions in the practical implementation of globa l projects by states.
ADDRESSING FAILED STATES
Authors: Kulbayev  , Kuzembayeva
Published: August 2024

This article revisits the complex issue of state failure, offering a new perspective on how systematic labeling can create contradictions among different states. The concept of state failure emerged as a significant topic in academic discussions toward the end of the 20th century and has remained a crucial item on the international agenda for decades. Various strategies have been employed to address state failure, sometimes with destructive outcomes. The United States’ initialefforts to intervene in failed states often had adverse effects. In contrast, the United Nations has continued to focus on state-building efforts, which have evolved into broader peacekeeping missions. While the U.S. interventions set some perilous precedents, the UN's approach underscores its role as a key post-war institution, striving to maintain fragile regions and prevent a complete breakdown of international stability. Although powerful sources suggest that the phenomenon of failed states is diminishing, the underlying issues of chaotic territories and weak governmental structures persist. The enduring challenge of managing these fragile states highlig hts the ongoing need for effective international strategies to prevent instability andpromote sustainable governance.We employed a range of methodologies , including case studies and qualitative analyses, to develop recommendations that align with the specified requirements.
THE INTERSECTION OF RELIGION AND PAKISTAN'S FOREIGN POLICY DECISIONS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
Authors: Saher Liaqat  , Zahra Michelle Khan
Published: August 2024

This research paper outlines a framework for understanding and analyzing the influence of religion on foreign policy in the context of the 'post-secular' shift in internationa l relations. As religion becomes progressively relevant to statecraft and foreign policymaking, its impact varies significantly across various states. The primary aim of this research is to examine the influence of religion on the foreign policy choices of Pakistan and to compare these influenc e s with those affecting India's foreign policy. By exploring these dynamics, the research seeks to uncover the possible implications for Pakistan and to identify how Pakistan can leverage religion as a tool of soft power in its statecraft methods. Furthermore, this study aims to contribute to the broader discourse on the role of religion in global politics, providing insights that could inform diplomatic strategies and international relations theory. Ultimately, the findings could help policymakers understand the nuanced ways in which religious factors shape internationa l interactions and state behavior.

ЕООСМАНИЗМ И ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ ПРИОРИТЕТОВ ТУРЦИИ В ЦЕНТРАЛЬНОЙ АЗИИ

Published: August 2024

данной статье рассматривается идеологическая основа внешней политики Турциина рубеже ХХ–ХХI вв, что способствовала росту активности в региональных делах и эволюции приоритетов страны. В последние годы эксперты часто используют термин «неоосманизм» Турции, в качестве ключевого фактора успешного расширения влияния в Центрально Азиатском регионе, не смотря на явное геополитическое преимущество России и Китая. Концепция неоосманизма, идеологом которой считаетсяАхмет Давутоглу, подразумевает взаимосвязь внешней политики современной Турции с историческим наследием османов и её ориентациюна усиление политического влияния во всех регионах, входивших ранее в состав Османской империис учетом современных реалий. Авторы анализируют разные трактовки и осмысления термина на ряду с другими параллельными идеологемами, используя сравнительно-сопоставительный метод.В исторической ретроспективе окончание биполярного миропорядка и распад СССР содействовало заполнению Турцией вакуума в новых суверенных государствах в постсоветском пространстве, используя общие религиозные, культурные и этнические связи с регионом. Политическое и экономическое устройство Турции предлагалось в качестве модели для данных тюркских республик. Распространение «турецкой модели», сочетающей в себе «умеренный ислам, принципы демократий, права человека и свободную рыночную экономику», поддерживалось со стороны Запада, а сближение с постсоветскими тюркскими государствами должно было бы подчеркнуть стратегическую важность Турции как «ворота» в Евразийский хартленд.На современном этапе прокламации об общих исторических корнях, подкрепленные реальными культурно-гуманитарными проектами тюркского сотрудничества, создают благоприятную почву для трансформации стратегической экспансии в основе которой лежат прагматические региональные осязаемые интересы и стремления к взаимной выгоде

In the article, the concept of legal mediation is described from a comprehensive social, legal, and political perspective, the prerequisites for the emergence of mediation and the mediation process in European countries (USA, England, France, Netherlands, Germany, Austria , Italy, Switzerland) are based on comparative analyzes through international experiences. We have analyzed the future mediation of the arbitration court, which is carried out by involving a neutra l third party -an arbitrator to resolve disputed issues, for example: land, house property, divorc e process, conflicts.The article also extensively reviews the European Code of Mediators by the European Commission, the guidelines of the European Parliament and the Council "On some aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters", and discusses how mediation is currently proceeding on a scientific basis. American corporations and more than 250 law firms report that 75-85% of disputes go to a mediator before they attempt to reach a settlement and find a positive resolution.The relevance of the article is not only the mediation process in European countries, but also the course of this process in Kazakhstan. In comparison, if in foreign countries this is a systematic legal process and is used in practice, in our country, although it is used in practice, there is still a need for improvement.The article also mentions theSiberian Conflictology Center (Kostanai), Kokshetau Mediation Center (Kokshetau), Mediation and Conciliation Center (Almaty), "Mediation and Law Center" (Karagandy), which is engaged in educational and educational services for the purpose of training mediators through a system of mediation training and seminars.

IRAN’S POSITION ON THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE CASPIAN SEA
Authors: Danova
Published: August 2024

For some time after the collapse of the USSR, the Caspian Sea continued to belong to two states, namely Russia, as the successor to the USSR, and Iran. However, this caused serious contradictions between the coastal newly formed post-Soviet countries overthe use of the Caspian Sea water area, seabed and subsoil. To solve such problems, it was necessary to establis h a new legal status of the Caspian Sea, taking into account the interests of all Caspian littoral states.At the initiative of the Russian Federation, work began in 1996 on a draft convention on the lega l status of the Caspian Sea, which was to be oriented towards the interests of all littoral states. Including more than 50 meetings and 5 summits, the draft Convention reached its culmination in 2018 in Aktau. The purpose of this research paper is to examine Iran's perspective on the legal status of the Caspian Sea and assess the impact of the Aktau summit on Iran. The paper analyzes Iran's role in the negotiations and its position on various issues related to the legal status of the Caspian Sea. Through this analysis, the paper aims to provide insight into the complexities of the Caspian Sea legal framework and its implications for Iran's interests and its relations with other littoral states.

The Versailles Settlement
Authors: Sharp Alan
Published: August 2024

The third edition of this acclaimed textbook on peace-making after the First World War advances that the responsibility for the outbreak of a new, even more ruinous, war in 1939 cannot be ascribed entirely to the planet's most powerful men and their meeting in Paris in January 1919 to reassemble a shattered world. Giving a concise overview of the problems and pressures these key figures were facing, Alan Sharp provides a coherent introduction to a highly complex and multi-dimensional topic.

This is an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking modules on the Versailles Settlement, European and International History, Modern History, Interwar Europe, The Great War, 20th Century Europe, German History, or Diplomatic History, on either history courses or international relations/politics courses.
