Διερεύνηση της σχέσης μεταξύ της τεχνικής αποτελεσματικότητας και της ποιότητας της περίθαλψης των δημοσίων μονάδων νοσηλείας στην Ελλάδα
Authors: Τριανταφυλλόπουλος Λουκάς
Published: September 2022

|Αντικείμενο| Η διδακτορική διατριβή εκτιμά αφενός την τεχνική αποτελεσματικότητα (ΤΕ) και την ποιότητα της περίθαλψης ενός μεγάλου δείγματος δημοσίων νοσοκομείων στην Ελλάδα, και διασαφηνίζει αφετέρου τη σχέση μεταξύ τους. Στο πλαίσιο της έρευνας αυτής εξετάζεται εάν η ελληνική εμπειρία κατά την περίοδο 2009-2014 αναδεικνύει μια αντίστροφη σχέση μεταξύ της ποιότητας της περίθαλψης και της τεχνικής αποτελεσματικότητάς των δημοσίων μονάδων νοσηλείας. |Μεθοδολογία| Η σχέση μεταξύ του επιπέδου ποιότητας της περίθαλψης και των τιμών της ΤΕ των δημοσίων νοσοκομείων στην Ελλάδα προσεγγίζεται σε τρία στάδια. Στο πρώτο στάδιο εκτιμάται η ποιότητα των υπηρεσιών περίθαλψης, χρησιμοποιώντας τις αξιολογήσεις των ίδιων των ασθενών σχετικά με την ποιότητα των εγκαταστάσεων, τη διαδικασία της περίθαλψης (λειτουργική ποιότητα) και το αποτέλεσμα της νοσηλείας (τεχνική ποιότητα). Τα πρωτογενή αυτά δεδομένα αναλύονται με την τεχνική μερικών ελαχίστων τετραγώνων διαδρομή μοντελοποίησης (Partial least squares path modeling), η οποία επιτρέπει την εκτίμηση ενός δείκτη αντιλαμβανόμενης συνολικής ποιότητας για κάθε νοσοκομειακή μονάδα και τμήμα νοσηλείας. Σε ένα δεύτερο στάδιο εκτιμάται η ΤΕ ενός μεγάλου δείγματος δημοσίων μονάδων δευτεροβάθμιας περίθαλψης που λειτουργεί στη χώρα. Για την εκτίμηση της ΤΕ χρησιμοποιείται η bootstrap Περιβάλλουσα Ανάλυση Δεδομένων. Στο τρίτο στάδιο, εξετάζεται εάν η ελληνική εμπειρία κατά την περίοδο 2009-2014 σηματοδοτεί μια αντίστροφη σχέση μεταξύ της ποιότητας της περίθαλψης των ελληνικών νοσοκομειακών μονάδων και της αποτελεσματικότητάς τους. |Συνεισφορά της διατριβής| Η παροχή υγειονομικής περίθαλψης υψηλής ποιότητας με το ελάχιστο δυνατό κόστος, ως ανθρωπιστική, κοινωνική και οικονομική επιταγή βρίσκεται στο επίκεντρο των αναζητήσεων των σύγχρονων κρατών, των παρόχων υπηρεσιών υγείας, και των ερευνητών. Η ποιότητα της περίθαλψης, ωστόσο, αν και κρίσιμη παράμετρος συμπεριλαμβάνεται σπανίως για την εκτίμηση της ΤΕ των παρόχων υγείας στην Ελλάδα εξαιτίας της μη διαθεσιμότητας στοιχείων. Η διδακτορική διατριβή συμβάλλει σε αυτή τη βιβλιογραφία, διασαφηνίζοντας για πρώτη φορά κατά πόσο οι δημόσιες μονάδες δευτεροβάθμιας περίθαλψης στην Ελλάδα με υψηλά σκορ αποτελεσματικότητας, προσφέρουν συγχρόνως κατά την αντίληψη των ασθενών υπηρεσίες περίθαλψης υψηλής ποιότητας. |Κοινωνικό όφελος| Τα ευρήματα της έρευνας μπορούν να είναι χρήσιμα για την αξιολόγηση της δημόσιας οικονομικής πολιτικής στον τομέα της υγειονομικής περίθαλψης που εφαρμόστηκε στην Ελλάδα κατά την περίοδο 2009-2014. Η διατριβή διασαφηνίζει ειδικότερα εάν η βελτίωση της ποιότητας της περίθαλψης και η μείωση του κόστους στις δημόσιες δευτεροβάθμιες μονάδες υγείας στην Ελλάδα υπήρξαν δύο συμβατοί στόχοι που επιτεύχθηκαν ταυτόχρονα, ή υπήρξε ένας αναγκαίος συμβιβασμός μεταξύ δύο αλληλοσυγκρουόμενων στόχων και επιλογών.

Fog node self-control middleware

Published: September 2022

Η υπολογιστική ομίχλη (Fog Computing) φέρνει πιό κοντά υπολογιστικούς πόρους στο Διαδίκτυο των Πραγμάτων (IoT), με δυνατότητες φιλτραρίσματος δεδομένων του IoT πριν αυτά μεταφερθούν στο υπολογιστικό νέφος (Cloud), και μπορεί να προσφέρει υπηρεσίες σαν του νέφους πιο κοντά στο IoT. Μέσα στην υπολογιστική ομίχλη, οι υπολογιστικοί πόροι, που ονομάζονται κόμβοι ομίχλης (Fog Nodes), οργανώνονται σε ομάδες, που ονομάζονται αποικίες ομίχλης (Fog Colonies) Παραδοσιακά, ο έλεγχος των αποικιών είναι σθεναρά κεντρικοποιημένος, με ειδικούς κόμβους που ονομάζονται Ενορχηστρωτές (orchestrators) ή Ελεγκτές Νέφους (Fog Controllers) να ελέγχουν σημαντικές λειτουργίες της αποικίας, όπως είναι ο σχηματισμός, η κατανομή φόρτου, καθώς και η διεπαφή με τον εξωτερικό κόσμο προς παροχή υπηρεσιών. Αν και αποκεντροποιημένες προσεγγίσεις συναντούνται συχνά σε κατανεμημένα συστήματα, τέτοιες προσπάθειες δεν έχουν εφαρμοστεί ακόμη στον έλεγχο αποικιών ομίχλης. Ωστόσο, βάσει της τρέχουσας βιβλιογραφίας, μία τέτοια προσέγγιση φαίνεται να είναι υποσχόμενη. Ο στόχος αυτής της έρευνας είναι να εξερευνήσει τα οφέλη του κατανεμημένου ελέγχου αποικιών ομίχλης, ειδικά όσο το μέγεθος των αποικιών αυξάνεται. Καθώς ο κεντρικοποιημένος έλεγχος είναι ο επικρατών τρόπος ελέγχου, εστιάσαμε στην ενίσχυση της αυτόνομης λειτουργίας των Κόμβων Ομίχλης, και υλοποιήσαμε ένα ενδιάμεσο λογισμικό κόμβων ομίχλης με δυνατότητες αυτο-ελέγχου, με στόχο την αποδοτική υποστήριξη του αποκεντροποιημένου ελέγχου των αποικιών. Για να ενισχύσουμε την αυτόνομη ικανότητα λήψης αποφάσεων των κόμβων, εμφυσήσαμε την Επίγνωση Πληροφοριών Υπηρεσιακού Πλαισίου (Context Awareness) στο ενδιάμεσο λογισμικό. Οι έννοιες των Πολιτικών (policies) και των Εγχειριδίων Κανόνων Πολιτικών (Policy Rulebooks) εισήχθησαν για να επιτρέψουμε την τυποποίηση των λειτουργιών που πραγματοποιούνται από όλους τους κόμβους, και υποστηρίζουν την διάχυση της κατάστασης των κόμβων μεταξύ των μελών της αποικίας. Δύο διαφορετικές μελέτες περίπτωσης πραγματικού κόσμου χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ως η βάση ελέγχου για το ενδιάμεσο λογισμικό: Μία έξυπνη εφαρμογή διαχείρισης έξυπνου κτιρίου, και μία εφαρμογή εκκένωσης κτιρίου, βασισμένες σε συσκευές και αισθητήρες IoT. Και στις δύο περιπτώσεις, η απόδοση των κόμβων των ιδίων, και των υπηρεσιών που παρέχει η Αποικία Ομίχλης ερευνήθηκαν καθώς το μέγεθος της αποικίας αυξανόταν. Αυτό επέτρεψε να ερευνήσουμε την διαφορά μεταξύ εκδόσεων του ενδιάμεσου λογισμικού με επίγνωση ή χωρίς επίγνωση των πληροφοριών υπηρεσιακού πλαισίου, καθώς και τις διαφορές μεταξύ κεντροποιημένης και αποκεντροποιημένης διάχυσης πληροφοριών. Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν τις δυνατότητες του αποκεντροποιημένου ελέγχου στις αποικίες ειδικά όσο το μέγεθός τους αυξάνεται.
Addressing the need for an appropriate skilled delivery care workforce in Burundi to support Maternal and Newborn Health Service Delivery Redesign (MNH-Redesign): a sequential study protocol
Authors: Habonimana Desire , Leckcivilize Attakrit , Nicodemo Catia , English Mike
Published: September 2022

Background

Despite Burundi having formed a network of 112 health facilities that provide emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC), the country continues to struggle with high rates of maternal and newborn deaths. There is a dearth of empirical evidence on the capacity and performance of EmONC health facilities and on the real needs to inform proper planning and policy. Our study aims to generate evidence on the capacity and performance of EmONC health facilities in Burundi and examine how the country might develop an appropriate skilled delivery care workforce to improve maternal and newborn survival.

Methods

We will use a sequential design where each study phase serially inputs into the subsequent phase. Three main study phases will be carried out: i) an initial policy document review to explore global norms and local policy intentions for EmONC staffing and ii) a cross-sectional survey of all EmONC health facilities to determine what percent of facilities are functional including geographic and population coverage gaps, identify staffing gaps assessed against norms, and identify other needs for health facility strengthening. Finally, we will conduct surveys in selected schools and ministries to examine training and staffing costs to inform staffing options that might best promote service delivery with adequate budget impacts to increase efficiency. Throughout the study, we will engage stakeholders to provide input into what are reasonable staffing norms as well as feasible staffing alternatives within Burundi’s budget capacity. Analytical models will be used to develop staffing proposals over a realistic policy timeline.

Conclusion

Evidence-based health planning improves cost-effectiveness and reduces wastage within scarce and resource-constrained contexts. This study will be the first large-scale research in Burundi that builds on stakeholder support to generate evidence on the capacity of designated EmONC health facilities including human resources diagnosis and develop staffing skill-mix tradeoffs for policy discussion.

Authors: Nascimento Marco Antônio de Paula , Cardoso Hiohanes Moura , Martini Angeline
Published: September 2022

A floresta urbana tem papel fundamental na oferta de benefícios e na quebra da artificialidade do ambiente urbano, local onde grande parte da população se estabelece. O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar a percepção e preferência da população sobre a floresta urbana para o município de Viçosa-MG. Foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado nas áreas arborizadas do centro da cidade. A população entrevistada caracteriza-se por uma maioria de participantes do gênero feminino, jovens e estudantes, com grau de escolaridade elevado, sendo menos da metade de munícipes naturais da cidade. Verificou-se que a população conhece a importância e os benefícios proporcionados pela floresta urbana, incluindo sua contribuição para a melhoria da qualidade de vida. Além disso, preza pelo contato com a vegetação para aliviar o estresse, bem como melhorar a saúde, embora este contato ocorra aquém do que gostariam. De modo geral, percebem que a floresta urbana da cidade deixa a desejar em alguns pontos, principalmente pela baixa quantidade de árvores e conflitos com a estrutura urbana, havendo anseios quanto a sua melhoria. Embora se tenha verificado que a população não se sente responsável pelos cuidados com a floresta urbana, quando para uma participação futura, esta se demonstrou engajada.

Neste artigo, objetiva-se investigar o fenômeno de ilhas de calor na área urbana de Erechim, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, durante a estação de verão, com a aplicação detalhada da análise de perfis térmicos a partir das características da forma urbana. Os procedimentos da pesquisa envolvem a coleta, a análise e o tratamento de imagens de satélite, bem como a elaboração de mapas, cálculos e índices que deram suporte metodológico e tecnológico para identificação e caracterização das ilhas de calor urbanas, além da produção de perfis térmicos que possibilitaram uma melhor verificação local e em microescala, onde se identificaram ilhas de calor no espaço urbano. Concomitantemente, os resultados demonstraram que a vegetação tem um papel fundamental na regulação da temperatura da superfície e que as áreas impermeabilizadas ou com solo exposto têm mais propensão à formação de ilhas de calor.
Macunaíma: o prazer lúdico do texto
Authors: Olivieri-Godet Rita
Published: September 2022

RESUMOO artigo analisa a importância da presença do elemento lúdico na composição do emblemático romance do Modernismo brasileiro, Macunaíma o herói sem nenhum caráter (1928), de Mário de Andrade. Desenvolve o argumento segundo o qual o elemento lúdico confere coerência e verossimilhança ao texto, participando de todos os níveis da obra, desde suas origens – matéria prima reescrita e reinventada por Mário de Andrade –, passando pela organização do sintagma narrativo, até a caracterização do herói, que pertence ao campo simbólico do romance. É ainda o componente  lúdico que torna possível o riso ambivalente de Macunaíma, registrando no texto a dialética do sério-cômico (Telê Porto Ancona Lopez). A perspectiva adotada apoia-se na metodologia da análise narrativa de Gérard Genette, nos ensaios de Johan Huizinga e Mikhail Bakhtin que exploram, respectivamente, a presença do lúdico no mito e na poesia e a ambivalência do cômico popular, dialogando com a fortuna crítica do romance. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Macunaíma; Mário de Andrade; Análise narrativa; Cômico popular SUMMARYThe article analyzes the importance of the ludic element in the composition of the emblematic novel of Brazilian modernism, Macunaíma the hero without a character (1928), by Mário de Andrade. It develops the argument according to which the comic element confers coherence and verisimilitude to the text, participating in all levels of the work, from its origins – raw material rewritten and reinvented by Mário de Andrade –, through the organization of the narrative syntagm, until the characterization of the hero, which belongs to the symbolic field of the novel. It is also the ludic element that makes Macunaíma's ambivalent laughter possible, registering in the text the dialectic of the serious-comic. The perspective adopted is based on the methodology of narrative analysis by Gérard Genette and on the essays by Johan Huizinga and Mikhail Bakhtin who explore, respectively, the presence of the ludic in myth and poetry and the ambivalence of popular comics, dialoguing with the critical fortune of the novel.  KEYWORDS: Macunaíma; Mario de Andrade; Narrative analysis; Popular comic.

DESAFIOS DA DOCÊNCIA NO ENSINO SUPERIOR REMOTO: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA EM MORFOLOGIA E SINTAXE
Authors: Gomes Jakeline Simões , De Lucena Nedja Lima
Published: September 2022

O contexto pandêmico ocasionado pela Covid-19 trouxe consigo diversos desafios para a sociedade, em especial, no âmbito da educação em todos os níveis. Das mudanças nas relações interpessoais à gerência de um modelo de ensino aliado as tecnologias da informação e comunicação (TICs), o ensino presencial migra para a dimensão educacional remota que surge como uma estratégia educacional temporária, a fim de dirimir o impacto que a crise de saúde pública impõe. Por consequência, essa estratégia tem permitido a reflexão sobre as práticas educacionais e sobre o processo de ensino-aprendizagem em um contexto de isolamento social sem data certa para acabar. Nessa linha, neste trabalho, objetivamos relatar uma experiência desenvolvida na esfera do Ensino Superior, na graduação em Letras, a partir do componente curricular “Elementos de Morfologia e Sintaxe da Língua Portuguesa”, ofertado na modalidade presencial e adaptado à forma remota de ensino no ano de 2020. Diante disso, realizamos uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa em que se busca discutir a experiência vivenciada no Ensino Superior nesse contexto de ensino remoto. Concluímos que o formato remoto não substitui a vivência cotidiana presencial, mas pode ser uma experiência significativa, sobretudo, quando o trabalho envolve a cooperação entre os sujeitos.
EVVIVA! DIÁLOGOS INTERCULTURAIS NO ESTÁGIO DE ITALIANO EM AMBIENTE REMOTO
Authors: Beloni Wânia Cristiane
Published: September 2022

Ensinar uma língua estrangeira sempre foi uma tarefa complexa e que exige do professor um conhecimento para além daquele puramente linguístico. O desafio é ainda maior quando se tem o objetivo de instruir acadêmicos para o ensino de uma LE por meio do estágio supervisionado. Com o contexto pandêmico da Covid-19, as dificuldades foram sobressaltadas. Em meio à pandemia, docentes orientadores e acadêmicos-estagiários precisaram, então, se reinventar e se adaptar. O estágio de docência em língua italiana do curso de Letras Italiano da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (Unioeste), campus Cascavel, antes feito apenas em modo presencial - sobretudo em turmas de italiano do Centro de Línguas Estrangeiras Modernas (Celem), projeto do estado em escolas públicas -, precisou ser inovado e realizado em modo on-line em 2021 (referente ao ano acadêmico de 2020). Além das adaptações tecnológicas ao ensino remoto, as adequações didáticas acabaram sendo imperativas. Refletir sobre as abordagens de ensino de língua estrangeira, assim como as metodologias utilizadas em aulas on-line acabou se tornando uma necessidade. Sendo assim, sob o viés teórico da Linguística Aplicada e da glotodidática, refletiremos sobre o ensino socio(inter)comunicativo (BELONI, 2021), o qual tem como intuito desenvolver aspectos muito além da gramática e que pôde ser colocado em prática no projeto Evviva! Curso de Italiano, no qual os discentes de Letras realizaram o estágio curricular. Entre os resultados observou-se o desenvolvimento da interculturalidade, uma vez que o projeto, por ter sido on-line, proporcionou o contato e a reflexão sobre a diversidade cultural brasileira.
Rostos apagados no currículo escolar: trajetórias de evasão na escolarização de jovens negras no município de Jóia/RS
Authors: Peyrot Conceição Cauana , Vione Schwengber Maria Simone , Gollo de Moraes Marileia
Published: September 2022

Este artigo parte da constatação de que há uma segregação espacial combinada à segregação étnico-racial em territórios no município de Jóia/RS, nos quais residem os negros. A segregação se dá em função de limites espaciais demarcados simbolicamente, instituídos a partir de seus lugares de vivência e das relações sociais que se estabelecem. Dentre os lugares, optamos por olhar os fatores da evasão escolar, ao observar as trajetórias de jovens negras. Metodologicamente, este estudo é caracterizado como uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada na história oral, tendo como instrumento da produção de dados entrevistas semiestruturadas, por amostragem. Questionamos: Quais são os fatores que corroboraram para a evasão escolar de algumas jovens negras no município de Jóia/RS? O movimento de análise apontou para um conjunto de fatores que ocasionaram a evasão, e neste artigo destacam-se o atravessamento das questões raciais, geracionais, de gênero e do não reconhecimento de um lugar na escola por parte dessas jovens, que lançam mão de outras alternativas que acabam antecipando precocemente a vida adulta. As jovens negras estudadas destacam ser rejeitadas por se distanciarem de uma estética hegemônica, marcadas como “rostos apagados” do currículo escolar; pelo vínculo precoce com a maternidade, união estável ou casamento; pelas gerações familiares anteriores apresentarem fracassos quanto à escolarização, deixando para a atual geração a chance de escolarizar-se, e essa tem deixado para os filhos a “sorte”, se “deus quiser, conseguirem ter a sorte”, uma vez que os filhos são a aposta de ter “uma cabeça boa para os estudos”.Palavras-chave:
Escolas cívico-militares: conservadorismo e retrocesso na educação brasileira
Authors: Dias Zenilda Rodrigues , Ribeiro Adalberto Carvalho
Published: September 2022

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar os fenômenos que levaram a transferência das escolas civis públicas para as mãos dos militares, considerando, ainda, as consequências da militarização dentro do ambiente escolar. A militarização de escolas públicas no Brasil, nos moldes atuais, é um fenômeno empírico surgido com mais ênfase no ano de 2013 no estado de Goiás, onde os ideais conservadoristas sustentam a defesa desse velho modelo pedagógico, agora em um novo desenho institucional. A abordagem metodológica desta pesquisa é qualitativa, tendo sido a análise de conteúdo o principal esteio da trilha investigativa, com destaque para a análise do Manual das Escolas Cívico-militares publicado recentemente pelo governo federal. Questões de partida: 1) por que as escolas militarizadas surgem com boa aceitação na sociedade brasileira? 2) quais benefícios a proposta pode trazer para a educação brasileira? 3) como política pública, qual o escopo da proposta do Ministério da Educação? Os resultados apontam que a onda de conservadorismo que assola a sociedade brasileira e a ideia do “apagão educacional” impulsionaram o clamor social de pais e comunidade escolar por um “novo” modelo de escola, priorizando-se, dessa forma, a disciplina e a obediência, além da segurança no ambiente escolar em vez da aprendizagem e democracia.
A lei 13.415/2017 e o "novo" Ensino Médio: inquietações pertinentes
Authors: Gonzaga Luciano Luz
Published: September 2022

A pesquisa analisa os percursos formativos do Ensino Médio no Brasil desde a sua gênese até a premente reforma do Ensino Médio pela Lei 13415/2017. Trata-se, portanto, de uma pesquisa qualitativa, sistemática, descritiva, interpretativa, de caráter bibliográfico e documental, na qual se procura problematizar a Lei 13415/2017 que altera a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (Lei 9394/96), impactando consequentemente em políticas educacionais – particularmente as curriculares. Historicamente, a perspectiva dessa modalidade de ensino teve como projeto a qualificação da mão de obra da classe trabalhadora e o ensino propedêutico à elite. Neste intento, a nova lei do Ensino Médio parece sugerir o retorno dessa perspectiva, recomendando itinerários formativos com vistas a uma prática pedagógica utilitarista, intensificando a proposta dualista entre formação para o trabalho aos estudantes de baixo poder aquisitivo e formação intelectual à elite em detrimento de uma educação equânime, sob uma perspectiva holística que preze a formação integral do estudante.
Estado de exceção, estado de guerra: os impactos da ascensão conservadora e da pandemia numa escola socioeducativa em contexto de privação de liberdade
Authors: Pereira Fábio De Barros
Published: September 2022

Esse artigo decorre de pesquisa em andamento realizada no interior do sistema socioeducativo, a partir da inserção do autor como professor de sociologia de uma escola pública estadual. A abordagem à realidade investigada é feita a partir de premissas teórico-metodológicas afins ao campo do Cotidiano Escolar. A pesquisa pretende dialogar com ações, intervenções e iniciativas político-pedagógicas presentes no currículo da escola, que possam propiciar a transição de um contexto de exclusão e violação de direitos a outro que os garanta. As atividades de pesquisa vêm sendo realizadas ao longo do período da pandemia em que o trabalho presencial dos professores foi suspenso em uma primeira etapa e tornado híbrido em outra. Os dados parciais revelam crescimento muito significativo da exclusão e da violação a direitos sociais e políticos dos adolescentes em cumprimento de medidas socioeducativas.

ABSTRACT The Global Innovation Index or GII was launched in 2007 has provided a great emphasis on measuring the climate and infrastructure for innovation and on assessing related outcomes. One of its sub pillars is to reflects on perceptions of the quality of public service and the quality of policy formulation as well as implementation and in the last three years; 2019 – 2021, ranked Malaysia at 37, 30 and 33 consecutively. Despite being the third highest country among her ASEAN counterparts, after Singapore and Brunei, the country is still ranked low in the political, regulatory and business environments indexes, consistently at number 40, 40 and 41, Hence, this paper is to explore the nature of problem framing process in designing policy within a Malaysian government institution through a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Data of this paper is gathered qualitatively from one of the Malaysia’s public agencies through a series of in-depth interviews with its group of policy makers to showcase the lived experiences of policy makers in the process of designing and formulating policies. This paper is to illuminate the process of how a problem framing is done in a public agency in Malaysia by adopting a set of frame creation model designed by Dorst (2015), the key challenges faced by the policy makers and key recommendations to improve the design and process of policy making in the public sector to ensure better implementation. The research provides a set of structure the problem framing process of the agency. Keywords: Public sector, Framing, Design strategy, Malaysian public agency
The Founding of the New Model Army
Authors: Gentles Ian
Published: September 2022

This chapter begins with a discussion of the armies of Parliament which found themselves at a low ebb after waging war upon their anointed monarch for two years. As the chapter argues, their military effort to defeat the king's muscles had run out of steam. The chapter also details the Parliament's armed forces' stunning victory against the royalist armies at Marston Moor. The English win-the-war party, known as the Independents, many of whom were also Congregationalist in religion, saw Oliver Cromwell as the hero of the battle. From then on, the split in Manchester's army widened to a gaping chasm. The chapter recounts an attack on Manchester launched by Cromwell and Sir William Waller, one of Parliament's generals, aiming at his removal as commander-in-chief of the Eastern Association. The chapter looks at Cromwell's dangerous enemy in the earl of Essex. It then examines the campaign to convict Manchester of military incompetence, unwillingness to fight the king, and contempt of Parliament. To their enemies, their intentions were crystal clear: a high and mighty plot of the Independent party to have got an army for themself under Cromwell.
Recruitment, Provisioning and Pay
Authors: Gentles Ian
Published: September 2022

This chapter reviews the newly formed army, the New Model Army, and a new roster of officers that had been approved. It explores how the New Model received priority in funding, supply and recruitment in preference to all the remaining forces under parliamentary authority. The chapter also examines the timely collection of the army's chief revenue source and a common hindrance to the smooth flow of assessment money: the practice of free quarter. With the ordinance for a monthly assessment in place, the Commons next set about raising men for the new army. The chapter then shifts to discuss how the Army Committee organised the recruiting effort. In principle, all men between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five were liable to impressment. The gigantic task of outfitting the new army began as soon as the officer list was complete. The chapter then elaborates on the arms, ammunition, clothing and other equipment needed for the summer campaign. It concludes by investigating how Parliament's success in meeting the challenges of money, supply and recruitment contributed tremendously to Sir Thomas Fairfax's unbroken chain of victories in the coming year.
The Year of Victories, 1645–46
Authors: Gentles Ian
Published: September 2022

This chapter first recounts the New Model Army's unpromising start—political infighting, poor strategy, and administrative delay. Parliament's fortunes were at their lowest ebb since 1643. The chapter then follows how Sir Thomas Fairfax's Council of War chose this juncture to urge that Oliver Cromwell be nominated to the vacant lieutenant-generalship of the cavalry. The Commons—though not the Lords—quickly agreed to the request, a mere four days before battle was joined at Naseby. The chapter then narrates the contemporary narratives of the battle of Naseby and the central role of Fairfax and Cromwell. It also discusses the south-western campaign and summer campaign. The chapter then assesses the major conquests of the New Model and royalist resistance: Bridgwater, Bath, Sherborne, Bristol, Basing, Tiverton, Dartmouth and Torrington. It considers one major fortress in royalist hands: Oxford.
The Army and the End of the Parliamentary Rule, 1656–59
Authors: Gentles Ian
Published: September 2022

This chapter focuses on how the major-generals had worked flat out to defuse the royalist threat and to bring about Oliver Cromwell's vision of a godly nation. Every one of the major-generals except George Fleetwood was elected to the second Protectoral Parliament, but as the chapter emphasizes, they failed in their promise to deliver for Cromwell a godly parliament. Their efforts had exhausted them and taken a toll on their health. The chapter also explores how Cromwell sought to legalise the Decimation tax, which had been imposed by protectoral fiat. Many feared that by attempting to legalise the Decimation, John Disbrowe, backed by John Lambert, was seeking to make their rule permanent and that their long-term aim was to prepare Lambert to succeed Cromwell after his death. The chapter investigates the behind-the-scenes machinations to bring about a restoration of the monarchy. It then chronicles the end of the Protectorate and the takeover of the military.

Conclusion
Authors: Mankoff Jeffrey
Published: September 2022

What Russia, Turkey, Iran, and China share is less a commitment to a particular political system or ideology than a sense of themselves as something more than “normal” states. All four appeal to peoples living outside their borders, securitize relations with borderland populations, intervene in neighbors’ affairs, and seek to reshape regional (and, in the cases of Russia and China, global) order not because they are “ideological grievance states,” or because they have megalomaniacal rulers, but because they were constructed out of the rubble of empires and remain shaped on some fundamental level by their respective imperial pasts. To the extent these four states share a common goal, it can perhaps be characterized as making the world safe for empire—which in turn means eroding the dominance of U.S.-backed norms and institutions that reject the legitimacy of empire and imperial geopolitics. The persistence of these imperial legacies suggests that the challenge these four states pose to a global order based on self-determination, sovereign equality, and territorial integrity is also likely to persist, regardless of political shifts or changes in leadership.
Georgian Voices of Gloom
Authors: Corfield Penelope J.
Published: September 2022

This chapter sheds a light on Georgian cultural negativism and voices of pessimism. It seeks to know what issues were causing concern and what complaints were expected to trigger a sympathetic response. The chapter begins by discussing the fears of national degeneration and moral decay. It then elaborates on military crises, disaster literature, and economic growth. Matching the anxiety directed at secular targets, other urgent concerns focused upon religion. The chapter argues that traditional Christian piety was seen as fading, both in terms of church attendance and in everyday behaviour. It glances at how the churches were being challenged, not just by rival denominations but by a wider mood of scepticism. The chapter moves on to investigate the eighteenth-century's term-of-art for the weakening of traditional religious unity and for a perceived diversity in moral values: infidelity. It then details numerous powerful campaigns of religious revivalism.
Georgian Voices of Optimism
Authors: Corfield Penelope J.
Published: September 2022

This chapter displays the major topics that prompted Georgians' enthusiasm: domestic developments and very few boasted about British colonial possessions. The chapter explicates the expanding towns, trade, and industry, then explores how Georgian culture was celebrated for its wit and satire, both visual and literary. Songs, comedy, and satire offered a set of resources for communal cheer, including consolation for sorrows. While there were plenty of expressions of pessimism, those were offset by counter-declarations of joy and optimism, which—furthermore—began over time to gain cultural predominance. The chapter analyses the concept of ‘luxury’, which was interpreted positively by optimists. For them, the concept signalled economic growth and prosperity. Praise for commerce was particularly widespread. The chapter reviews other great changes which were simultaneously happening in commerce, towns, and transport. It then considers the claims of cultural betterment that were widespread in liberal educated circles across western Europe.
Redefining Religion and Irreligion
Authors: Corfield Penelope J.
Published: September 2022

This chapter addresses the cultural decentring of the clergy. It highlights that men and a few bold women field-preachers were losing the old clerical monopoly of access to the written word. The Church's role was slowly becoming adapted to suit a changing society. Within a pluralist system, people had choices between different faiths and non-faith. The chapter then investigates how religion and irreligion were slowly redefined. It looks at how books and newspapers were augmenting, then examines how the literalist interpretations of the Scriptures were on the retreat. As the chapter chronicles, the deep context for these developments was the spread of literacy and a growing acceptance of religious toleration. The chapter elaborates on a political compromise which allowed a limited freedom of worship, enabling many separate Protestant groups to emerge. It then explores how irreligion was being redefined—not without great angst and controversy—as its status slowly changed from ‘demonic possession’ into another lifestyle option.
Towards a New Civic Bureaucracy
Authors: Quinn Matthew J.
Published: September 2022

In this book, Matthew Quinn reflects, using Foucault’s conceptions of governmentality and domination, on his practical bureaucratic experience of public policy and legislation on sustainable development and governance. The terms governance and sustainable development are presented as contested terms which can be both emancipatory and controlling. Approaches of control based in the language of economic efficiency have largely constrained emancipatory processes to business as usual. This is shown in the distinction between a controlling governing of sustainable development and a transformatory governing for sustainable development. The desire for control and the focus on economic efficiency are embedded in the narratives and practice of competitive democracy and of public bureaucracy. These have been reinforced by the neo-liberal turn in public management and wider governance. Yet, thinking on the role and legitimacy of public bureaucracy in mass democracy shows historical contestation between ideas of emancipation and control. Drawing a link between the transformatory idea of governing for sustainable development and civic republican thinking on governance as non-domination, the book outlines a new framing of public bureaucracy which could support a civic and ecological governmentality. It takes Wales’s Well-being of Future Generations Act as an example of the ideas and issues involved in repurposing bureaucratic governance as non-domination. The book concludes by setting out the elements of a new civic bureaucracy. The practice of this new bureaucracy would replace the historic dominance of economic efficiency and uniformity with service to a more localised, plural and interconnected polity. This would serve to address the twin 21st century challenges of achieving sustainable development and addressing disaffection with democratic government.
Introduction

Published: September 2022

This chapter explores the attractions and drawbacks of differentiated integration (DI). Differentiated integration is a mechanism increasingly adopted since the 1990s that allows some member states to be exempted or excluded from participating in certain existing EU policies and other member states to cooperate in new policy areas and integrate further. The chapter emphasizes how DI offers the prospect of a more flexible Europe, capable of combining the demand for unity advocated by supporters of greater integration with the ongoing claims for the recognition of diversity insisted on by its critics. It looks at competing visions of European integration driving the move to DI, which have become ever more urgent. Differentiated integration emerged as a policy instrument to address the need to accommodate the socio-economic disparities occasioned by the widening of the EU to the East and manage the divergent political preferences emerging from this development.
Quantum batteries in non-Markovian reservoirs
Authors: Li J. L. , Shen H. Z. , Yi X. X.
Published: September 2022

In this Letter, we propose schemes to improve the performance of quantum batteries and provide a new, to the best of our knowledge, quantum source for a quantum battery without an external driving field. We show that the memory effect of the non-Markovian reservoir can play a significant role in improving the performance of quantum batteries, which originates from a backflow on the ergotropy in the non-Markovian regime, while there is no counterpart in Markovian approximation. We find that the peak for the maximum average storing power in the non-Markovian regime can be enhanced by manipulating the coupling strength between the charger and the battery. Finally, we find that the battery can also be charged by non-rotating wave terms without driving fields.
Cross-GWAS coherence test at the gene and pathway level
Authors: Krefl Daniel , Bergmann Sven
Published: September 2022

Proximal genetic variants are frequently correlated, implying that the corresponding effect sizes detected by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are also not independent. Methods already exist to account for this when aggregating effects from a single GWAS across genes or pathways. Here we present a rigorous yet fast method for detecting genes with coherent association signals for two traits, facilitating cross-GWAS analyses. To this end, we devised a new significance test for the covariance of datapoints not drawn independently but with a known inter-sample covariance structure. We show that the distribution of its test statistic is a linear combination of χ2 distributions with positive and negative coefficients. The corresponding cumulative distribution function can be efficiently calculated with Davies’ algorithm at high precision. We apply this general framework to test for dependence between SNP-wise effect sizes of two GWAS at the gene level. We extend this test to detect also gene-wise causal links. We demonstrate the utility of our method by uncovering potential shared genetic links between the severity of COVID-19 and (1) being prescribed class M05B medication (drugs affecting bone structure and mineralization), (2) rheumatoid arthritis, (3) vitamin D (25OHD), and (4) serum calcium concentrations. Our method detects a potential role played by chemokine receptor genes linked to TH1 versus TH2 immune response, a gene related to integrin beta-1 cell surface expression, and other genes potentially impacting the severity of COVID-19. Our approach will be useful for similar analyses involving datapoints with known auto-correlation structures.
