Toward a Global History of the Nuclear Age
Authors: Robert Josephson Paul , Kasperski Tatiana 
Published: September 2024

The environmental history of the nuclear enterprise has grown increasingly important, not the least because of the strong conviction that an ongoing, and self-proclaimed “renaissance” in nuclear energy must be a major part of world energy scenarios in the battle against global warming and the need to abandon carbon-based energy production. This article suggests a number of ways to take advantage of the recently available primary sources by using a global approach to make sense of nuclear environmental history. It calls for looking at environmental impacts across a variety of ecosystems: desert, Arctic, tropical, limnological and oceanic. It insists on considering the entire nuclear enterprise from mining to enrichment to fission. It suggests focusing on interactions between the atom, nature, and the lives of mammals, fish and birds in the nuclear world. In the end, this analysis shows that the atom is not green, and that the argument that nuclear power is a solution to global warming ignores the troubled relationship between the natural environment and peaceful and military technologies.

IntroductionDespite the fact that ultrasound (US) therapy is not advised for acute ankle sprains, its therapeutic effects may be beneficial for other stages of ankle sprains, such as a subacute ankle sprain. There is, however, a lack of evidence regarding the effects of US on pain relief and functional improvement in subacute ankle sprains. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the immediate effects of US on pain and plantar pressure in individuals with unilateral subacute ankle sprains.MethodsFifty-four participants with unilateral subacute ankle sprains (aged 16–55 years) were recruited and randomly allocated into a treatment group (<i>n</i> = 27) and a control group (<i>n</i> = 27). The treatment and control groups received a single intervention session of US and an ineffectual US, respectively. Pain intensity during weight-bearing and static and dynamic plantar pressures were assessed before and after receiving the intervention.ResultsIn both groups, pain intensity was statistically reduced (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and clinically relevant. Although the maximum plantar pressure in the hindfoot during static conditions was statistically higher in the control group (<i>p</i> = 0.024), the values were still lower than MDC95.ConclusionsA single treatment of US could clinically reduce pain, but it had no effect on altering plantar pressure in individuals with unilateral subacute ankle sprains.

IntroductionOne of the most prevalent postural problems involving the neck is called forward head posture (FHP), which is defined as the anterior head protruding from the sagittal plane and appearing to be positioned in front of the body. The incidence of FHP is 70% in young adults. This study aimed to compare Pilates mat versus cervical stabilization exercises on the craniovertebral angle (CVA), pain, function, and myoelectric activity of the upper trapezius (UT) and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles in patients with FHP. Also, both experimental groups were compared to the control group in terms of CVA, pain, function,
and myoelectric activity of the UT and SCM muscles.MethodsSixty participants (18 to 25 years old) with symptomatic FHP were randomly assigned to three groups using an opaque sealed envelope; Pilates mat and postural correction exercises were assigned group A, cervical stabilization and postural correction exercises were assigned group B, and solely postural correction exercises were assigned group C for 12 weeks at a frequency of 3 times/week. The patients were assessed before and after 12 weeks of interventions. The photogrammetric method was used to determine CVA, the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain intensity, the Arabic neck disability index (ANDI ) for neck
function, and surface electromyography (sEMG) for the UT and SCM muscle root mean square during rest and activity.ResultsMultiple pairwise comparisons revealed statistically significant differences between pre and post-treatments for all variables in the Pilates, cervical stabilization, and control groups with a <i>p</i> < 0.05. Between groups, analyses showed that there were statistically significant differences (<i>p</i> < 0.05) at post-treatment between the Pilates and cervical stabilization groups and also between Pilates and the control, and finally between the cervical stabilization and control groups with more favor to the Pilates group.ConclusionsPilates mat and cervical stabilization exercises are both effective interventions for FHP, with Pilates mat exercises being superior.

Published: September 2024

This study examined leadership styles of principals and their effects on staff job satisfaction in Colleges of Education in Ghana. Guided by the pragmatism philosophy, and underpinned by McGregor’s (1960) theory X-Y, the study utilised the descriptive survey research design to gather data from the respondents. The study employed the multi-stage sampling technique to select 210 staff to fill out questionnaires while five principals were chosen through purposive sampling for interview. In all, 215 respondents were selected from a population of 443 for the study. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools such as the mean, standard deviation, and multiple linear regression with the help of Statistical Product for Service Solution (SPSS), whilst the qualitative data was analysed thematically. It was revealed that the majority of principals in the Colleges of Education showed transformational leadership style but some were also seen as transactional leaders. Again, regardless of existing promotion opportunities, the staff were unsatisfied with their pay and benefits. The study found a significant moderate positive relationship between principals’ transformational leadership style and staff job satisfaction. Furthermore, across the dimensions of transformational leadership style, the idealised influence (Beta = .517, p<.05) and individualised consideration (Beta = .285, p = .013<.05) significantly predicted job satisfaction. It can be concluded that transformational leadership style of principals has significant moderate positive influence on job satisfaction of members of staff in Colleges of Education in Ghana. It was recommended that Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Colleges of Education should organise periodic seminars to train principals and other college officials on transformational leadership and how to apply it. Such seminars will help principals lead effectively and keep college staff satisfied with their jobs.

Global assessment of climatic responses to ozone–vegetation interactions
Authors: Zhou Xinyi , Yue Xu , Tian Chenguang , Lu Xiaofei 
Published: September 2024

Abstract. The coupling between surface ozone (O3) and vegetation significantly influences the regional to global climate. O3 uptake by plant stomata inhibits the photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance, impacting evapotranspiration through land surface ecosystems. Using a climate–vegetation–chemistry coupled model (the NASA GISS ModelE2 coupled with the Yale Interactive terrestrial Biosphere, or ModelE2-YIBs), we assess the global climatic responses to O3–vegetation interactions during the boreal summer of the present day (2005–2014). High O3 pollution reduces stomatal conductance, resulting in warmer and drier conditions worldwide. The most significant responses are found in the eastern US and eastern China, where the surface air temperature increases by +0.33 ± 0.87 and +0.56 ± 0.38 °C, respectively. These temperature increases are accompanied by decreased latent heat and increased sensible heat in both regions. The O3–vegetation interaction also affects atmospheric pollutants. The surface maximum daily 8 h average O3 concentrations increase by +1.46 ± 3.02 ppbv in eastern China and +1.15 ± 1.77 ppbv in the eastern US due to the O3-induced inhibition of stomatal uptake. With reduced atmospheric stability following a warmer climate, increased cloud cover but decreased relative humidity jointly reduce aerosol optical depth by −0.06 ± 0.01 (−14.67 ± 12.15 %) over eastern China. This study suggests that vegetation feedback should be considered for a more accurate assessment of climatic perturbations caused by tropospheric O3.
All God’s Chillun Got Wings: Whiteness as Property
Authors: Quirk Ronald 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
This article examines All God’s Chillun Got Wings in the context of renowned law professor Cheryl I. Harris’s analysis of American society’s construct of whiteness as property. Harris contends that property rights in the United States were founded on white supremacy and the protection of those rights by law results in many forms of racial discrimination. The attitudes and actions of the characters in All God’s Chillun reflect the destructive application of white property rights, which dooms the marriage of white Ella Downey and her Black husband Jim Harris. Analyzing this play through the lens of whiteness as property illustrates that the entrenched societal expectations rooted in racist property rights cannot be surmounted by the two protagonists; the unwitting but persistent assertion of same by the characters results in severe dysfunction in Ella’s and Jim’s relationship, tragically culminating in Jim’s self-sabotage and Ella’s insanity.

Prudence in the Anthropocene
Authors: Hariman Robert 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The deliberative judgment referred to in the history of rhetoric as phronesis, practical wisdom, or prudence might have prevented the existential crisis of the Anthropocene era, but it seems unable to reverse the damage or provide a basis for ecological sustainability. This essay offers several considerations for adapting this traditional model of judgment to take up the new challenge. The normative, calculative, and performative modalities of prudential thinking, along with insights provided by the Chinese philosopher Xu Changfu, provide a basis for examining political, technocratic, ethical, and artistic mentalities for addressing global warming, assessing their strengths and weaknesses in respect to effective advocacy, and learning from them to improve and expand practical wisdom. Special emphasis is given to paying attention to art, artists, and aesthetic values on behalf of developing an attitude of ecological mindfulness.
Spanish Immigration in Italy, 1500–1700
Authors: Dandelet Thomas James 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
This article focuses on Spanish immigration to Italy in the period from 1500 to 1700, the centuries when Spanish rule in Naples, Sicily, and Milan led to large-scale immigration of soldiers, clergy, viceroys, governors, and their followers and families. Presently, there is a lack of any detailed study of this important aspect of Spanish imperialism for the broader Italian context. This article argues that such a study is essential for understanding the social, economic, political, and cultural history of Italy in this period and presents avenues for future research.
At The Apogee of Her Career: The Duchess of Osuna in Naples
Authors: Ball Rachael Irene 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Although contemporary chroniclers and courtiers were acutely aware of her presence and influence, many modern political historians of the seventeenth century and biographers of Pedro Téllez-Girón, the Third Duke of Osuna, have largely ignored the activities of his wife, Catalina Enríquez de Ribera. Indeed, even some of Osuna’s recent biographers have assumed that there is little to know about her. In spite of this lack of attention, the duchess played a number of critical roles throughout the years of her marriage, including during the late 1610s when she and don Pedro were the Viceroys of Naples. This article discusses doña Catalina’s patronage, her use of court festivities to build networks, and her involvement in other activities during the time she spent in Spanish Naples.
Nurturing Professionals: De Facto Maternal Roles in British New Woman Novels, 1880–1900
Authors: Das Riya 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article situates the modern ideals of female motherhood and professionalism in the fin de siècle creation of the professional New Woman in Britain, and posits that future feminist discourses would find value in identifying similar strands of commonality with underrated historical feminist movements. Presenting snapshots of nineteenth-century British novelistic plots, this article shows how altered settings and character types in early, mid, and late Victorian novels do not diminish the Western investment in marriage and procreation as the future of culture, civilization, and hegemony. The article then analyzes how late Victorian narratives reconceptualize maternity as civic duty. Consequently, the physicality of biological motherhood and the complex Victorian epistemologies about sex and sexuality are relegated to animality with distinctly classist and racist connotations. Unwanted birth, along with its discomfiting relationship with infanticide in Victorian society, is subtly pushed into the sexualized realm of the lower classes or foreign, other races. Finally, this article explores the figure of the maternal professional woman, de facto non-biological mothers to childlike figures in the interest of civic duty that emerged, fairly clearly, from the discursive construction of the proto-professional New Woman in the fin de siècle. In this way, this article argues that the ideal of the New Woman gave rise to the modern notion of female professionalism that is nurturing and maternal, and involved the rearing of both biological and non-biological children.
Rippling Intimacies: The Queer Waters of Lady Audley’s Secret
Authors: Crystal Jacob 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article relies on ecocriticism to explore Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s most popular novel, Lady Audley’s Secret, to understand the queer ecological potential even within a Victorian novel that relies on key conventional tropes. It analyzes moments when the three main characters, Lady Helen Audley, Robert Audley, and George Talboys, engage in queer ecological intimacies before the advent of sexological studies. Looking first at how Lady Audley interacts with the garden spaces surrounding her estate, the article offers a new theoretical framework, domestic queer ecology, to explore the asphyxiation the domestic space pushes onto the titular protagonist, and how the garden space offers her an escape. It then moves on to critically assess sites of water as spaces that promote queer intimacy between the two male protagonists. Ultimately, Braddon’s novel suggests a misogynistic ecological queerness that favors eco-queer men over eco-queer women.
