Native American Basketry
Authors: Porter Frank
Published: June 2024

This bibliography includes more than 1,100 entries from books, journals, newspaper articles, and dissertations concerning North American Indian basketry. More general cultural works with some information on basketry are also included, and the materials date from early ethnographic work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to 1987. . . . The introduction offers a good overview of research in Native American basketry, and although the annotations vary greatly in thoroughness and length, they are generally useful. This unique, well-produced bibliography is recommended for collections supporting programs in anthropology, crafts, or Native American Studies.Choice

Interest in Native American basketry dates from the late 1800s, when an enthusiastic public, together with curators, academic collectors, and archaeologists, first began to appreciate the value and uniqueness of these beautiful hand-crafted artifacts. This bibliography is the first comprehensive guide to publications on the subject. Organized by major cultural areas of North America, it offers annotated listings of books, journal articles, dissertations, theses, monographs, and selected newspaper articles published over the last 100 years. In his introductory essay, Porter discusses the history of Native American basket making and the findings and views of some of the anthropologists, archaeologists, and popular writers whose works contribute to our knowledge of the subject. The bibliography is divided into eleven sections, each dealing with a specific geographical/cultural area. Entries are cross-referenced, and a comprehensive index gives convenient access to authors, titles, and subjects.
The New High Priests
Authors: Gawalt Gerald W
Published: June 2024

Gerard W. Gawalt has collected essays that explore the critical period in the development of the legal profession from 1865 to 1900, when law replaced religion as the controlling element in American society and lawyers clearly established themselves as the formulators, advocates, and arbiters of the law. The authors of these essays explore the extent of the legal profession's involvement in the growth of industrial America, focusing on the state of the profession in various geographic regions and on the profession's institutions and plans for education, regulation, reform, and practice in the period after the Civil War. They address the central question of how the nature and structure of the legal profession was molded by the growth of urban-industrial society and argue that the profession not only adapted, but pioneered and adopted many of the aspects of the new industrialism.
The Political Economy of Work in the 21st Century
Authors: Sicker Martin
Published: June 2024

When Congress enacted Social Secuirty in 1935, with the age of retirement set at age 65, average life expectancy was 62 years. By the time Medicare was enacted 30 years later, life expectancy had risen to age 70. Since the enactment of Medicare, life expectancy has risen to age 76 today and may be expected to increase further in the decades to come. Clearly, the increase in post-retirement life expectancy has significant implications for the level of national expenditures attributable to an aging population. One of the approaches suggested as a solution to the so-called income transfer problem is to redefine old age, that is, to push retirement and its associated benefits off to a later age. This would effectively increase the size of the workforce, with older workers continuing to contribute their payroll taxes for an extended period of time. The critical question Sicker poses is, will there be enough appropriate employment opportunities for a growing number of older workers in the workforce of the future? The evidence for a positive response is far from clear or compelling.

Sicker examines the prospective place of the aging worker in the employment environment of the 21st century in light of the restructuring of American business and the world of work in the final decades of the last century. In doing so, he raises serious concerns about the validity and utility of some of the neoclassical economic ideas and assumptions that have become part of the conventional wisdom of our time. Sicker contends that these dubious propositions have unwittingly contributed signficantly to the problem through their manifestation in public policy. However, the principal focus of his analysis is not on economic theory as such, but on the realities and uncertainties that an aging American workforce will face in the decades to come. This book is significant reading for scholars, researchers, and the general public interested in labor force and aging policy issues.
Literature of the Somali Diaspora
Authors: Medugno Marco
Published: June 2024

Edition description: The first study of Anglophone and Italian novels by Somali diasporic authors, offering a new critical framework for multilingual and transnational analysis of Somali literature.

Building on the latest scholarship about multilingual contexts, diaspora studies and the rapidly expanding field of Italian postcolonial studies, Marco Medugno examines Somali diasporic literature with a comparative perspective. Considering works written in English and Italian, he argues that Somali diasporic authors share similar themes and aesthetics, thus creating an interliterary community within the diaspora space.

By using multilingualism as a starting point, Medugno provides significant insights into how Somali national and individual identities are constructed in diasporic, global contexts through geography, style, form, language and the re-writing of national histories emerging out of colonization and independence. Analysing acclaimed Somali novels such as Nuruddin Farah’s Links and Crossbones, Igiaba Scego’s Adua and Cristina Ali Farah’s Little Mother, he questions any definition of ‘local’ as ‘provincial’, instead considering it a site for interrogating global concerns.

Literature of the Somali Diaspora is organized around three themes: spatiality, language and resistance help to contextualize authors, forced by the decades-long Somali Civil War, to write outside Somalia and in different languages – including Somali, Italian, English, German, Dutch and Arabic – within global literary circuits. Their work thus creates a literature not confined within national borders but an interliterary global community, a transnational and multilingual space in which they share world aesthetic ideologies, challenge and engage with literary traditions in different languages and show an interplay between diverse cultures.

CABOCLINHO AND THE TEACHING OF INDIGENOUS HERITAGE THROUGH DANCE
Authors: Cabral de Arruda Junior Otacílio
Published: June 2024

The caboclinho is an artistic performance that combines elements of dance to narrate the stories of warriors and heroes, strongly influenced by indigenous culture. This performance embodies the historical ancestry of the Brazilian nation and serves as an expression of popular culture with a century-old tradition, with dance as its identifying element. The general objective of this article is to reflect about caboclinho dance as a useful element for teaching indigenous culture, conducted through bibliographic research. The findings indicate that caboclinho, through the body and within the context of art education in dance, contains elements, signs, and symbols useful for strengthening the teaching of indigenous heritage and Brazilian cultural identity, thereby demystifying foreign influences in Brazil. Consequently, caboclinho dance can be incorporated into the arts curriculum, presenting concepts, definitions, and necessary tools for decisions related to the conservation of indigenous heritage. It also encourages those interested in studying popular culture, meeting the requirements set by Law 11.645/2008.

Redefining Islam (IST) Radicalism and Extremism: The Current Context of Indonesia
Authors: Achmat Zakarija
Published: June 2024

Radicalism is regarded as an internal threat in many countries, including Indonesia. Rulers will occasionally utilize radical label embedding to silence political opponents, including in the run-up to general elections. Some academicians believe that the terms radicalism and extremism are used interchangeably. Even though they still have disagreements, they regard the two as distinct. The same term, but understood differently by different parties, particularly those opposed to each other, can generate and exacerbate conflicts. This study used a qualitative technique to clarify radicalism and distinguish it from extremism, particularly from the perspective of people who (the Indonesians) proclaim themselves radicals. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were used to collect research data, which was then analyzed using a narrative technique. The findings of the study provide a thorough picture of radicalism. The informants did not object to being labelled as radical, but only in the sense that they interpreted radicalism which differed from the concept of extremism. Alternative responses to radicalism are discussed.

Published: June 2024

The presence of children with special needs is a challenge faced by parents of children with special needs. Sometimes some families experience things that are not ideal, such as losing their husband's role and thus becoming a single mother. Challenges in parenting are often faced by single mothers with children with special needs. The aim of this research is to explore the experiences of single mothers who have children with disabilities in less than ideal family living conditions. The research method is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique with four participants and data collection using interviews and observation. Data analysis uses descriptive phenomenological method with presentation in the form of themes. The research results show several themes that combine the phenomena experienced by single mothers, namely loss of the role of husband, challenges in raising children, financial independence, negative environmental experiences, figure support, religious coping. The conclusion of the research is that the life journey of a single mother with special needs requires a difficult and long process starting from acceptance to positive adjustments in parenting patterns as well as interesting religious coping strategies and can be a model for other single mothers and increase self-esteem.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as contribuições do Programa de Educação Tutorial (PET) para o desenvolvimento das habilidades comportamentais dos bolsistas que atuam no PET Conexões de Saberes da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória de abordagem qualitativa. Como instrumento de pesquisa, aplicou-se entrevistas em profundidade com oito bolsistas que atuam no programa. Após a coleta de dados, os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica da análise do discurso, de modo a priorizar o conteúdo das mensagens transmitidas pelos respondentes. Como resultado, constatou-se que o Programa de Educação Tutorial (PET) Conexões de Saberes, do Instituto Três Rios da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), demonstrou ser uma ferramenta eficaz no desenvolvimento das soft skills dos bolsistas. Os depoimentos dos participantes evidenciaram a contribuição do programa para o aprimoramento das habilidades comportamentais, como comunicação, responsabilidade, empatia, senso crítico e trabalho em equipe. O ambiente propício para o desenvolvimento dessas habilidades é proporcionado pelas atividades diversificadas do programa, incluindo projetos de pesquisa, extensão e tutoria. As interações promovidas por meio das atividades de extensão, que envolvem o contato com pessoas externas à universidade, são apontadas como especialmente benéficas para o fortalecimento da competência comunicativa dos bolsistas. Além disso, a diversidade dos participantes, provenientes de diferentes cursos, como Administração, Gestão Ambiental e Direito, enriquece a experiência do PET, ampliando a capacidade dos estudantes de lidar com a heterogeneidade, preparando-os para os desafios futuros do mercado de trabalho. Embora o PET tenha sido reconhecido por seu impacto positivo no desenvolvimento de habilidades comportamentais, sugestões foram apresentadas para aprimorar o programa, incluindo o estímulo à autonomia dos alunos na elaboração de novos projetos e a implementação de projetos mais direcionados para o desenvolvimento de habilidades específicas, como resolução de problemas, escrita científica e inteligência emocional. Conclui-se, portanto, que o PET desempenha um papel crucial no desenvolvimento dos estudantes não apenas para o âmbito acadêmico, mas também para os desafios da vida pessoal e profissional. Essa constatação ressalta a importância de programas educacionais holísticos, como o PET, na formação de indivíduos com capacidade técnica, social e emocional para enfrentar os desafios do mundo contemporâneo.

Abstract. Fault slip is a complex natural phenomenon involving multiple spatiotemporal scales from seconds to days to weeks. To understand the physical and chemical processes responsible for the full fault slip spectrum, a multidisciplinary approach is highly recommended. The Near Fault Observatories (NFOs) aim at providing high-precision and spatiotemporally dense multidisciplinary near-fault data, enabling the generation of new original observations and innovative scientific products. The Alto Tiberina Near Fault Observatory is a permanent monitoring infrastructure established around the Alto Tiberina fault (ATF), a 60 km long low-angle normal fault (mean dip 20°), located along a sector of the Northern Apennines (central Italy) undergoing an extension at a rate of about 3 mm yr−1. The presence of repeating earthquakes on the ATF and a steep gradient in crustal velocities measured across the ATF by GNSS stations suggest large and deep (5–12 km) portions of the ATF undergoing aseismic creep. Both laboratory and theoretical studies indicate that any given patch of a fault can creep, nucleate slow earthquakes, and host large earthquakes, as also documented in nature for certain ruptures (e.g., Iquique in 2014, Tōhoku in 2011, and Parkfield in 2004). Nonetheless, how a fault patch switches from one mode of slip to another, as well as the interaction between creep, slow slip, and regular earthquakes, is still poorly documented by near-field observation. With the strainmeter array along the Alto Tiberina fault system (STAR) project, we build a series of six geophysical observatory sites consisting of 80–160 m deep vertical boreholes instrumented with strainmeters and seismometers as well as meteorological and GNSS antennas and additional seismometers at the surface. By covering the portions of the ATF that exhibits repeated earthquakes at shallow depth (above 4 km) with these new observatory sites, we aim to collect unique open-access data to answer fundamental questions about the relationship between creep, slow slip, dynamic earthquake rupture, and tectonic faulting.
Effectiveness of an Individualized Training Based on Dynamic Strength Index on Sprinting, Jumping and Change of Direction Performance in Basketball Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Pleša Jernej , Ujaković Filip , Ribič Ažbe , Bishop Chris , Šarabon Nejc , Kozinc Žiga
Published: June 2024

The dynamic strength index (DSI) is calculated as the ratio between countermovement jump (CMJ) peak force and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) peak force and is said to inform whether ballistic or strength training is warranted for a given athlete. This study assessed the impact of an individualized in-season resistance training program, guided by DSI on basketball players’ physical performance. Forty-three elite players (19.4 ± 2.9 years; 1.97 ± 0.08 cm; 89.1 ± 9.5 kg) were divided into an intervention group (IG) (27 players) and a control group (CG) (16 players). The IG was further split based on DSI into a ballistic group (DSI ≤ 0.90, 11 players) and a strength group (DSI > 0.90, 16 players). Over five weeks, participants underwent two weekly resistance sessions, with the IG following a DSI-based program and the CG a standard program. Performance was measured pre- and post-intervention through 20-m sprints, 505 change of direction test, CMJ, and IMTP. There were statistically significant improvements in the IG, notably in sprint times (η2 = 0.12-0.21, p < 0.05) and 505 test (η2 = 0.15-0.16, p < 0.05), predominantly in the strength group. The CG’s performance was either unchanged or declined for different variables. Our results suggest that DSI-guided training effectively enhances basketball players’ physical performance within a competitive season.
Regional Dynamics of the Birth Rate of the Russian Population in the Second Fifteen Years of the 21st Century
Authors: Rybakovskii Leonid , Fadeeva Tamara
Published: June 2024

Статья посвящена процессам, происходившим в 90-е годы в экономической, социальной и других сферах жизнедеятельности российского общества, и показывает их изменения, наступившие в новом столетии. Не остались в стороне и демографические процессы, переживавшие почти все 90-е годы глубокий кризис. Депопуляция, вызванная как ростом смертности, так и сокращением рождаемости, продолжалась в начале ХХI века, изменив лишь свои составляющие: в начале нового века смертность осталась ещё сверхвысокой, тогда как рождаемость уже начала постепенно расти. Нужны были срочные меры, которое способны были исправить демографическую обстановку в России. В статье показано, что середина десятых годов (2014-2016 гг.) явилась переломным моментом бывшего сравнительного благополучия в демографическом развитии России. С 2016 г. вновь наступила полоса естественной убыли. Особенно значительной она стала в 2021-2022 гг. в период эпидемии коронавируса. В статье даётся анализ региональной дифференциации динамики рождаемости в России в десятые-двадцатые годы ХХI века и влияния на них мер демографической политики. Улучшение демографической ситуации, как и наступление депопуляции в этот период связаны с двумя факторами - изменением возрастных коэффициентов рождаемости и численностей женщин репродуктивных групп. Это характеризуется на основе динамики суммарного коэффициента рождаемости (СКР) за 2002-2022 гг. Бывшая в десятые и начальные двадцатые годы ХХI в. динамика численности женщин в наиболее активных репродуктивных возрастах сказалась на соотношении темпов сокращения чисел родившихся и СКР. В 20-е годы продолжится сокращение численности женщин репродуктивного возраста, о чём говорят цифры о рождаемости в 80-х - 90-х годах и данные переписи 2020 г. о репродуктивных возрастах. Демографическая волна, возникшая в те годы, весьма существенно влияла и ещё будет влиять на числа родившихся в 20-е годы. Но этим временем она не ограничится. На стыке 40-х-50-х годов волна вновь даст знать о себе. Чтобы уменьшить её последствия, необходимо уже сегодня принять новую достаточно продуманную демографическую политику.

В статье проведён сравнительный анализ различных методических подходов по разработке минимального (восстановительного) потребительского бюджета. Рассмотрены 10 как современных, так и ранее действовавших отечественных методик, разработанных в разные годы учёными Всероссийского центра уровня жизни, Института социально-экономических проблем народонаселения РАН, Института экономики РАН, Всероссийского научно-исследовательского института труда Минтруда России и других организаций. Особое внимание уделено вопросу установления минимального (восстановительного) потребительского бюджета, отражающего потребности работников, для его использования при формировании и реализации социальной политики в России. Методологической основой исследования выступил контент-анализ научной литературы по затрагиваемой проблеме, в результате которого рассмотрены теоретические положения системы потребительских бюджетов, сформулировано авторское определение потребительского бюджета, а также выбраны, сгруппированы и систематизированы соответствующие методики. Выявлены положительные аспекты изученных методик (такие, как применение нормативного метода для всех составляющих бюджета, расширенный набор непродовольственных товаров и услуг, наличие сбережений, учёт семейной нагрузки и др.), которые необходимо принимать во внимание при совершенствовании минимального (восстановительного) потребительского бюджета. Показана зависимость расходных статей потребительских бюджетов (продукты питания, непродовольственные товары, услуги) и соответствующих потребительских корзин от группы физической активности и природно-климатических условий. Материалы исследования могут быть использованы федеральными и региональными органами исполнительной власти, предприятиями для оценки стоимости жизни в регионах, в том числе в целях установления районных коэффициентов к заработной плате и некоторым другим видам денежных доходов населения, а также для совершенствования региональных программ по борьбе с бедностью.

The Influence of Gender and Intellectual Ability on Students Perception of Econmics Teachers Effectiveness in Higher Education
Authors: Y. Peter , W. C. Linda
Published: June 2024

Researchers have argued that student’s rating of teachers’ effectiveness is not a valid measure because it is influenced by a host of factors. The purpose of the study was to determine whether students’ gender and intellectual ability significantly influenced their perceptions of teachers’ effectiveness in a university setting. The Cross-sectional survey research design was employed through the use of students’ rating of teacher effectiveness questionnaire to collect the data. A total of 485 students, sampled from four Public Universities in Ghana participated in the study. The data were processed using SPSS software, version 20 and analysed using independent sample t-test. The results suggest that gender and intellectual ability did not influence students’ perception of Economics teachers’ effectiveness. The results have implications for authorities of Higher Education Institutions including School Administrators, teachers, and policymakers, as they assure and further guide efforts to improve upon students rating of teacher effectiveness. The study recommends that future research should consider the influence of the classroom physical environment on students’ perception of teachers’ effectiveness.
Factors affecting on Agricultural Labour Supply in Davangere district of Karnataka: An economic analysis
Authors: D.B. Malathesha
Published: June 2024

This study conducted in Davangere district of Karnataka has analysed the factors affecting on agricultural labour supply. The study is based on the primary data collected from 200 sample agricultural labours. The study revealed that socio-economic factors like age, education, caste and land holding are negatively influenced on agricultural labour supply. As far as age is concerned, young labours of the rural area are reluctant to work as agricultural labourer even though they have no alternative works available in their locality. Participation in agricultural activities is the lowest among the young labours compared to middle age group labours. Education plays a vital role in selection of employment. Labours participation in agricultural works is found to be relatively more among the illiterate labours compared to educated labours. Educated youths are not willing to work as agricultural labour and they want to work as salaried employee in urban areas or government employee. Agricultural labour supply is also affected by the caste. This study revealed that labour participation in agricultural activities is more in scheduled caste followed by scheduled tribe and other category. And, the most significant feature is that among the all castes labours are engaged in non-agricultural works. Another important factor is land holding of the family. Labours participation in agricultural activities is more in land less (having no land) families compared to land holding (<than 2acres) families. For all these reasons agricultural labour supply has been declining drastically and it has affected the farm productivity. On the other hand wages are increasingly for agricultural operations due to labour scarcity and it has increased the production cost for the farmers.

New targets for cancer promotion and therapy in gliomas: Scinderin
Authors: Wang Xi , Luo Lian-Xiang
Published: June 2024

Glioma is one of the most common primary intracranial tumors, characterized by invasive growth and poor prognosis. Actin cytoskeletal rearrangement is an essential event in tumor cell migration. Scinderin (SCIN), an actin severing and capping protein that regulates the actin cytoskeleton, is involved in the proliferation and migration of certain cancer cells. However, its biological role and molecular mechanism in glioma remain unclear. Lin et al explored the role and mechanism of SCIN in gliomas. The results showed that SCIN mechanically affected cytoskeleton remodeling and inhibited the formation of lamellipodia via RhoA/FAK signaling pathway. This study identifies the cancer-promoting role of SCIN and provides a potential therapeutic target for SCIN in glioma treatment.

The advancement of renal replacement therapy has significantly enhanced the survival rates of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) over time. However, this prolonged survival has also been associated with a higher likelihood of cancer diagnoses among these patients including breast cancer. Breast cancer treatment typically involves surgery, radiation, and systemic therapies, with approaches tailored to cancer type, stage, and patient preferences. However, renal replacement therapy complicates systemic therapy due to altered drug clearance and the necessity for dialysis sessions. This review emphasizes the need for optimized dosing and administration strategies for systemic breast cancer treatments in dialysis patients, aiming to ensure both efficacy and safety. Additionally, challenges in breast cancer screening and diagnosis in this population, including soft-tissue calcifications, are highlighted.

Of the leading cancers in Taiwan, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks fifth and second respectively in terms of incidence and mortality. Based on the Barcelona-Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system, severity of HCC begins with stage 0, followed by stages A to D. Patients with HCC at different stages therefore suffer from a variety of symptoms that require corresponding adjustments in treatment. For patients, this can bring uncertainty and unpredictable side effects, inflicting on them tremendous physical, mental, and spiritual agony.

Both physical and mental symptoms are common in late-stage HCC patients. Thus, the intervention of hospice and palliative care would help determine future medical plans to address different symptoms in the patients. This article introduces a cooperative model integrating late-stage HCC treatment and hospice and palliative care that incorporates shared decision making, advanced care planning, and hospice in cancer care. Different types of medical models play different roles in palliative and hospice care. Cross-disciplinary integration is essential in helping meet the needs of late-stage HCC patients and promote their end-of-life quality.
