Duignan & Gann, The United State And The New Europe, 1945-1993
Authors: Weldin Sandra
Published: April 2024

Peter Duignan and L. H. Gann, both Senior Fellows at the Hoover Institute, have published numerous works concerning African, Hispanic, and European studies. This work represents historical coverage far greater than the title indicates. To prepare the reader, the authors include a concise and very readable introduction that is a synopsis of American-European relations from colonization of the New World until 1945. The bulk of the work is dedicated to support of the thesis: "European and American interests coincide in the long run."
Tresse, Valley Forge - Making And Remaking A National Symbol
Authors: Geib George
Published: April 2024

"But what can I do with a history major?" History teachers familiar with that student query have probably responded at some point by discussing the options of agency and museum work. Yet many attempts to drawn an interested student into the topic are challenged by a dearth of good studies that explore the ongoing work of site and artifact interpretation.
We Are Not Alone
Authors: Millen-Penn Ken
Published: April 2024

Renowned mountain climber Willi Unsoeld once told a group of climbers to "take care of each other. Share your energies with the group. No one must feel alone, cut off, for that is when you do not make it."1 Cooperation is a vital component of human life, a vital component of success. However, until recently America's schools and colleges have functioned under the idea that cooperation in education was somehow wrong and counterproductive. Most schools and colleges continue to emphasize the traditional teaching method of lecture-a one-way monologue where the professor gives facts and knowledge and where students passively listen, take notes, and absorb knowledge. Sharan and Sharan have noted that traditional education makes students consumers and teachers feeders-whereby one individual, the instructor, decides what is on the menu, the size of the portions, and how fast the consumer, that is the student, must ingest.2 And, to continue with this analogy, the consuming student is asked to regurgitate what has been consumed.
Fitzpatrick, Ed., Muckraking - Three Landmark Articles,
Authors: Janick Herbert
Published: April 2024

I get nervous each semester when the American history survey course reaches the Progressive era. Few topics are more confusing to undergraduates than the variety of reform efforts that historians characterize as Progressivism. Frustrated by the diverse backgrounds, motivations, and agendas of reformers, students in self defense often reduce the Progressive movement to a lifeless list of the "accomplishments" of prominent individuals from Woodrow Wilson to "Golden Rule" Jones. Progressivism becomes a catalog devoid of passion.

Read, From Tsar To Soviets - The Russian People And Their Revolution, 1917-21
Authors: Wilcoxson Elizabeth
Published: April 2024

Christopher Read states in his introduction that his purpose in writing this book is to examine the role of ordinary Russians in the 1917 revolution and its aftermath. He adds that "the tragedy of the revolution lies in the Bolsheviks' failure to recognize the real revolution of the time and instead to pursue their own highly structured presuppositions about what the revolution should have been like and what the chief actors should have been doing." To develop his thesis, Read takes us through a chronology of the revolutionary era in Russia.
Feeding a family of five
Authors: Riney-Kehrberg Pamela
Published: April 2024

In the spring of 1989, I drove hundreds of miles of back roads in Kansas, interviewing survivors of the dust bowl and Great Depression for my doctoral dissertation. I asked these people, ranging in age from their mid-sixties to nineties, many questions about their lives during the 1930s, including work and attitudes toward federal aid, and why they had stayed in Kansas when so many had left and gone to California. I also asked a number of questions about the "nuts and bolts" of life during hard times, such as how they or their parents made family food dollars stretch. Reflecting back on those difficult years, many commented that they, unlike the current generation of young people, had what it took to survive such calamities. Young people today, they reckoned, would collapse under the strain of providing for a family on such meager resources. 1
Painting societal portraits
Authors: Friedman Hal
Published: April 2024

The advent of active learning strategies and process-oriented writing in college courses in the last two decades offers historians tremendous opportunities for employing a contextual field to teach analytical reading and writing skills to all levels of college students. For myself, using "societal portraits" drawn from intercultural and international relations has provided both content and format to engage students in course materials and to help them become more effective in critical reading, thinking, and writing.
Layering the introductory history of Europe course
Authors: Waddy Helena
Published: April 2024

One of my students in the introductory "History of Europe since 1600" course recently entitled his paper "The Constitutional Relay Race." He was reacting to an image that I had developed to assist students in understanding the history of constitutional government in modern Europe. The British team started the relay race in the seventeenth century, passing the torch to their American colonist colleagues, who in turn handed the torch on to the French revolutionaries, who ran with it into the heart of Europe. Similarly, men started the race to full suffrage, passing the torch to women, who then handed it on to students in the late 1960s. With this image I try to illuminate the historical "flow" that we cover in the first "run-through" of our period. To energize my students' understanding of the connections flowing from the beginnings in 1600 through to the state of European society today, I have structured the course into three of these separate but interrelated run throughs; each course section covers the entire period but with a different focus, and each culminates in a reiterative paper that retraces the analysis we have just pursued.
The Mudfish And The European
Authors: Vess Deborah
Published: April 2024

The Voyages of Discovery opened vast new worlds for European exploration, including the mysterious Dark Continent. The Portuguese left ample written records of their "discovery'' of Africa, which have dominated the historian's approach to the Age of Discovery. However, many African cultures were not literate and, consequently, the African perspective on the European explorations is often largely lost in introductory surveys. 1
Gudmundson & Lindo-Fuentes, Central Americas, 1821-1871 - Liberalism Before Liberal Reform
Authors: Edmondson Michael
Published: April 2024

Central America represents a fine contribution to the developing field of Latin American scholarship. The structure of the book, however, demands the reader's familiarity with Central American history in its entirety. The interpretive framework constructed within the two essays of the book will appear confusing and unattractive to the secondary or even undergraduate student lacking a general grasp of the region. Although the authors intended their essays to provide the introductory-level student with "novel ways of thinking about the facts," the nature of nineteenth-century Central American history commands a less elaborate and certainly a less sophisticated argument for the first or even second-time student of the period.
Teaching History At Twenty-Five Years
Authors: Kneeshaw Stephen
Published: April 2024

In history twenty-five years is a mere blink in time. In the journal world, twenty-five years can be an eternity. Every year fledgling journals and magazines rise and fall. Some make it to a second year, a few stay for a third, but many of them fade away quickly. Starting a new journal is scary--some might call it crazy, given the high odds favoring failure.
Abzug, America Views The Holocaust, 1933-1945; Polt, Ed., A Thousand Kisses - A Grandmother's Holocaust Letters
Authors: Firsching Lorenz
Published: April 2024

The contemporaries of the Holocaust are often divided into three categories: victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. While each category is problematic, this nonetheless is a useful approach for teachers working with students just beginning to study the Holocaust. Each category can be studied through primary sources, although, as Raul Hilberg has pointed out, each raises its own particular problems.

Perjanjian Kerja Sama Ekonomi Indonesia-Jepang resmi berlaku selama lima tahun, dimulai pada tanggal 1 Juli 2008-2013. Terdapat tiga pilar utama yang menjadi fokus pondasi IJEPA, diantaranya ialah liberalisasi perdagangan, fasilitasi perdagangan, dan peningkatan kapasitas. Selain dengan pihak Jepang, kesepakatan IJEPA melibatkan banyak pihak dalam negeri. Aktor utama pada riset ini ialah kepala pemerintah Indonesia. Riset ini memaparkan rasionalisasi pemerintah Indonesia menggunakan teori pilihan rasional dalam keberlanjutan agenda IJEPA. Walau pada bagian pemaparan riset terkesan subjektif dan spekulatif, penulisan riset ini sepenuhnya bersifat deskriptif dengan metode riset kualitatif dari Robert E. Stake, serta argumentasi teoretis yang berdasar pada teori pilihan rasional milik Elizabeth Nunn dan informasi yang tersedia. Melalui teori pilihan rasional, pertimbangan pemerintah Indonesia terkait keberlanjutan agenda IJEPA dibagi menjadi tiga; preferensi ideologi, kepentingan ekonomi, dan kepentingan politik. Hasil dari riset ini menjelaskan bahwa preferensi ideologi Presiden Indonesia yang berupa “A million friends, zero enemy” dan ‘Nawa Cita’ dapat mempengaruhi dan menjadi landasan kebijakan terkait keberlanjutan agenda IJEPA. Selanjutnya, dalam kepentingan ekonomi, keberlanjutan agenda IJEPA dilatarbelakangi oleh upaya pemulihan ekonomi Indonesia. Sedangkan untuk kepentingan politik pemerintah Indonesia, keberlanjutan agenda IJEPA merupakan bagian dari strategi politik Jokowi dalam meningkatkan kepuasan publik terkait kemampuan kinerjanya di bidang ekonomi.Temuan riset ini ialah adanya kepentingan politik dari pihak eksternal yang turut mempengaruhi pertimbangan pemerintah Indonesia dalam keberlanjutan agenda IJEPA.
International Business Diplomacy: Mining for Good Practices in Indonesia
Authors: Surya Aelina
Published: April 2024

"International Business Diplomacy: Mining for Good Practices in Indonesia" explores how business diplomacy can be a strategic tool in optimizing the potential of Indonesia's mining sector on the international stage. Armed with abundant natural resource wealth, Indonesia faces the challenge of ensuring that its mining industry provides maximum benefits for the economy and society while maintaining harmonious relations with international trading partners. This research highlights two main cases: contract renegotiation with Freeport-McMoRan and cooperation in the nickel sector with China. These two cases illustrate how Indonesia, with a careful approach to business diplomacy, has succeeded in attracting investment, increasing industrial added value, and ensuring sustainable mining practices. However, despite this success, challenges such as environmental issues, workers' rights and good governance remain priorities. In conclusion, business diplomacy, if implemented correctly, can be the key for Indonesia to achieve sustainability and justice in its mining industry in the era of globalization.

An Empirical Analysis of Director Turnover in US Banks During the Financial Crisis
Authors: Lu Wenling , Whidbee David A.
Published: April 2024

We examine the impact of bank risk-taking and performance on the director labor market outcomes of 3,263 bank directors associated with 279 publicly listed US banks during the financial crisis and subsequently. We find that risk-taking before the financial crisis increases the likelihood of turnover during the financial crisis for bank directors, particularly if the bank does not perform well relative to its peers. Consistent with the evidence for directors of non-financial firms, we find that directors of banks that performed relatively well during the financial crisis were less likely to experience turnover on the bank board. Surprisingly, the directors leaving the board before turning 70 years of age held fewer committee assignments, were less busy, had smaller networks, were less likely to be independent, and with larger banks and boards. Overall, we find evidence of bank performance influencing director turnover during and after the financial crisis.

Are Connected Fitness Machines the New Blue Ocean Marketing Strategy for Tourism Marketing (Red Ocean) or the Wellness Industry (Red Ocean)? An Exploration of Connected Signaling
Authors: Charles Reccia N.
Published: April 2024

The question is centered around connected (Internet of Things) Fitness Machines which virtually transport the user of the machine to a destination (Spain, Italy, St. Lucia, Fiji, New Zealand to name a few) while the user is engaged in some form of fitness activity (running, walking, rowing, cycling, etc.). The intended idea or primary marketing message is that the user gets a ‘personal’ trainer to aid in their fitness journey while at the same time enjoying the ‘outdoors’ in the comfort of their home. The seemingly unintended consequence is that each ‘outdoor’ location is marketed uninterrupted for 15 to 30 minutes at least. This begs the question – will these connected machines encroach on traditional advertising expenditure for destination marketing? Can connected (internet of things) Fitness machines move two product categories from Red Ocean competitiveness to Blue Ocean Competitiveness? Does the signaling engagement positively affect customer choice/willingness to choose a destination?
Switchover to Tenofovir Disoproxil in Chronic HBV Patients with Primary Treatment Failure to Entecavir
Authors: Hui Chee K , Hui Kit
Published: April 2024

Background/Aim: Primary treatment failure to entecavir is known to occur in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Although the prevalence is low, the optimal management of this select group is unknown. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil in those with primary treatment failure to entecavir. Methods: This study included 14 patients with primary treatment failure to entecavir. They were switched over the tenofovir disoproxil for 48 weeks. Results: All 14 patients (100%) had reduction in serum HBV DNA by more than 2 log10 IU/ml at week 12 after tenofovir disoproxil treatment. All 14 patients (100%) still had elevated alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) levels at the time they were switched over to tenofovir disoproxil. At week 48 of tenofovir disoproxil, normalization of serum ALT levels occurred in 12 of these 14 patients (85.7%), and, 10 of the 14 patients (71.4%) had achieved both undetectable serum HBV DNA and normalization of serum ALT levels. Conclusion: Tenofovir disoproxil is a safe and effective choice for the treatment of chronic HBV patients with primary treatment failure to entecavir treatment.
Efficacy of Steady Strides: A Structured Physiatrist-Led Intervention for Reducing Falls in High-Risk Ambulatory Community-Dwelling Older Adults: An Observational Cohort Study
Authors: Abrishami Aaron David , Hanasab Aviel , Sadik Eliot , Rowshanshad David , Tsiang Michael , Atanelov Levan
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Though physiatrists are trained in functional gait analysis, studies are lacking on effectiveness of physiatrist management on fall prevention in older adults. Steady Strides is a structured physiatrist-led, functional, goal-directed multifactorial intervention to help reduce falls. Our objective was to assess the effect of Steady Strides intervention on reducing falls in older adults at high fall risk. Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study of 124 community dwelling older adults at risk of falls seen at outpatient clinic were identified to be at high risk of falls and included in the study if they reported: i) at least one fall in 3 months at baseline; and ii) limited improvement with prior physical therapy. All patients in this cohort had an initial evaluation with physiatrist and all were offered the Steady Strides physiatrist-led intervention. Patients who followed up with the physiatrist for the intervention, participants, were compared to those who did not, i.e., non-participants. All patients were called and number of falls within six months after the initial evaluation (primary outcome variable) was recorded. Demographic, clinical and participation (e.g., number of visits with physiatrist, physical and occupational therapists in 2-months after the initial presentation) data was extracted from medical records and analyzed in univariate, then multivariate analyses. Results: Steady Strides participants had statistically lower number of falls at 6 months compared to non-participants (mean 4.59 vs 1.89, p<0.004). Univariate analysis demonstrated that participation in Steady Strides physiatry Research Article J Med - Clin Res & Rev; 2023 Volume 7 | Issue 12 | 2 of 8 intervention (incidence rate, [IR], 0.41, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.24-0.67, p<0.001) as well as attending physical therapy sessions (IR 0.59, 95% CI 0.36-0.96, p=0.034) was correlated with reduced number of falls at 6 months. Steady Strides participation remained significant in the multivariable analysis (IR 0.31, 95% CI 0.15-0.61 p<0.001). Discussion/Conclusion: This is a first reported effective structured physiatrist-driven fall prevention intervention that may have significant effect on fall reduction in older adults.
New Insight into the Understanding of the Pathophysiology of the Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and a Description of a Potential Novel Highly Effective Treatment
Authors: Check Jerome H , Check Diane , Neumann Brooke
Published: April 2024

Rationale: There are data supporting the concept that the etiology of idiopathic orthostatic edema is related to a delayed response by the sympathetic nervous system to secrete more dopamine from sympathetic nerve fibers to diminish cellular permeability of the capillaries in humans when changing from supime to an erect position to inhibit transudation of intravascular fluid to the extravascular space. This physiologic change is related to the increased hydrostatic pressure that occurs by standing. Evidence supporting this theory is that this clinical entity, manifested by edema of unknown origin and weight gain, is usually ameliorated by treatment with the sympathomimetic amine dextroamphetamine, which is known to increase dopamine release. We hypothesized that postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) may be caused by a more severe transudation of fluid from intravascular to extravascular space which results in light headedness and/or symptoms from hypovolemia related to transient inadequate blood supply to the brain, before compulsory mechanisms are triggered by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. Tachycardia is related to the need to increase the heart rate to allow the required 5 liters of blood per minute. Objective: To determine if dextroamphetamine could improve a severe case of POTS. Findings: A woman with severe treatment resistant POTS, with multiple syncopal episodes, had a great response to 60mg dextroamphetamine sulfate, which completely eradicated her POTS. Conclusion: At least one form of POTS can have a good response to dopaminergic drugs e.g., dextroamphetamine, which also corrected other associated conditions e.g., dysmenorrhea, dyspnea on exertion, chest pain, headaches, chronic fatigue, brain fog, depression, and fibromyalgia.

Published: April 2024

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the functional and oncological outcomes of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) using the extraperitoneal approach in a specialised urology centre in Cameroon. Methods: We analysed the medical records of 45 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy over a 5-year period, from 2015 to 2020. Data were collected through structured data extraction forms and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of the population was 62.13 (SD: 6.02; range: 51–78) years, with 71.1% of the patients being less than 65 years old. The mean duration of follow-up was 31 months. Of the 45 patients, 30 (69.8%) had clinical-stage cT2 cancers. D’Amico’s high-risk group represented 28 (65.1%) patients, which was the most common. The mean initial total PSA was 22.47 ± 18.12 ng/mL, while the mean PSA volume was 58.39 ± 23.74 mL. The mean operating time was 127.54 ± 37.64 minutes. Seven (15.5%) patients had nerve-sparing procedures. Five (11.11%) patients developed postoperative complications, with 2 (40%) patients having a UTI and 1 (20%) patient developing anaemia requiring blood transfusion. No perioperative death was recorded. pT2 cancers made up 40.0% (18 patients) of all cancers. Longterm complications included urinary incontinence (33 (73.3%) patients), erectile dysfunction (42 (93.3%) patients), and biochemical recurrence (12 (26.67%) patients). Postoperative outcomes were similar across different age groups and D’amico risk groups. Conclusion: The primary goal of radical prostatectomy is the surgical cure of prostate cancer. Using the extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach, good cancer control was obtained, though post-op sexual function was compromised in the majority of patients. Considerations related to surgeon expertise, patient preferences, and access to advanced surgical technologies should be taken into account when evaluating the broader public health implications of adopting LRP as a standard treatment option for prostate cancer.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui seberapa besar hubungan keseimbangan kehidupan-kerja dengan intensi turnover dan mengetahui efek moderasi dari makna kerja terhadap hubungan keseimbangan kehidupan-kerja dan intensi turnover. Fenomena quiet quitting adalah kondisi dimana karyawan hanya mengerjakan pekerjaannya sesuai jobdesc utamanya tanpa adanya usaha ekstra melakukan pekerjaan tambahan untuk perusahaan. Quiet quitting ini dilakukan untuk mencapai keseimbangan kehidupan-kerja karyawan. Karyawan dengan keseimbangan kehidupan-kerja yang baik akan bertahan dan fokus pada setiap tugas dan tanggungjawab yang diberikan dalam pekerjaannya. Ketidakmampuan seorang karyawan dalam mencapai keseimbangan kehidupan-kerjanya ini akan berpengaruh pada keinginan dan pemikiran untuk keluar dari pekerjaannya, yang mana hal ini juga berkaitan dengan cara individu memaknai pekerjaannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik pengambilan sample non-probability sampling dan insidental sampling melalui kuesioner. Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 165 orang karyawan corporate head office di PT XYZ. Pengambilan data menggunakan skala Work as Meaning Inventory (WAMI), skala work–family balance, dan skala intensi turnover (TIS). Data dianalisis menggunakan uji moderated regression analysis (MRA) yang menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan antara keseimbangan kehidupan-kerja dengan intensi turnover. Namun variabel makna kerja tidak dapat menjadi variabel moderator yang menguatkan ataupun melemahkan hubungan keseimbangan kehidupan-kerja dengan intensi turnover.
