Oconaluftee
Authors: Giddens Elizabeth 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The Oconaluftee Valley, located on the North Carolina side of the Smokies, is home of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians and part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). This seemingly isolated valley has an epic tale to tell. Always a desirable place to settle, hunt, gather, farm, and live, the valley and its people have played an integral role in some of the greatest dramas of the colonial era, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil War era. The experiences of turn-of-the-twentieth-century industrial logging alongside the national park movement show how land-use trends changed communities and families. Though the valley saw its share of conflict, its residents often lived like neighbors, sharing resources and acting cooperatively for mutual benefit and survival. They demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of threats to their existence. The book offers a deeply researched and elegantly written account of Oconaluftee and its people from Indigenous settlements to the establishment of the national park by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1940. The work builds the tale from archives, census records, property records, personal memoirs, and more, showing how national events affected all Oconaluftee's people—Indigenous, Black, and white.
The Paradise of America
Authors: Lorek Timothy W. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Chapter One in Making the Green Revolution examines the history of the Cauca Valley in Colombia. The valley of the Cauca River, this region has been celebrated for its fertility and prospects for tropical agriculture and industrial development since before Colombian independence. Conflicts over land tenure around the growing city of Cali helped direct waves of agricultural politics in the region, including ideas about self-sufficiency pursued by Latin American nationalists and international scientists in the early decades of the twentieth century.
The Grassroots Challenge
Authors: Mantler Gordon K. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The often-told story of Harold Washington’s 1983 mayoral victory often obscures the larger economic and political context as well as the broader grassroots coalition that emerged in opposition to Mayor Jane Byrne’s re-election. It was an expansive intraracial and multiracial alliance that elected Washington. Much like progressive coalitions supporting Black mayors in other cities across the nation, his election required a remarkable amount of organization not just among the African American factions so routinely highlighted in popular and scholarly narratives but also among key progressive Latino and white groups. This included massive voter registration efforts, political education classes, and other kinds of painstaking organizing. Washington’s victory also reflected rarely acknowledged contingencies, most prominently a white political elite which had evenly divided its support between Byrne and State’s Attorney Richard M. Daley, the former mayor’s eldest son. Race and white supremacy were factors, of course, but at least in the February 1983 primary, so was gender and sexism.
Making Love to the Spirit
Authors: Nwokocha Eziaku Atuama 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the rarely documented religious rituals of spiritual marriage or mystical marriage. This sacred institution creates a codified ritual commitment where spirits aid the practitioners and, in turn, practitioners serve the spirits.  Spiritual marriage offers a useful framework for analyzing the role of gender and sexuality as it illuminates the gendered expectations placed on practitioners’ fashion and adornment choices. Additionally, this chapter explores the often-unspoken realities of same gender desire between spirits and practitioners and how this challenges the ritual traditions of spiritual marriage within Manbo Maude’s temples. The fashion involved in spiritual marriage extends beyond ceremonies into the everyday lives of practitioners through the ongoing use of ritualized clothing and adornment. Clothing and adornment associated with spiritual marriage signals a personal connection with the divine, aids ongoing communication with the divine, and facilitates the crucial possibility of sexual contact between practitioners and spirits. These sexual interactions, happen “in dream,” which in Haitian Kreyòl is nan dòmi, emphasizes the commitment between practitioner and spirit and plays a significant role in spiritual marriage.

Published: May 2024

Actualmente al identificar la importancia del capital humano en las organizaciones, estudiar en diferentes sectores para identificar si esto hace que varie el estilo y el impacto en el clima laboral es importante porque determina la productividad. El objetivo principal de la investigación es determinar los estilos de liderazgo (visionario, coaching, afiliativo, democrático, timonel y autoritario) que predominan en los sectores restaurantero, aduana, maquiladora y educativo, con la intención de identificar, describir y correlacionar el impacto que generan, en seis factores tales como: formación de colaboradores, integración de colaboradores, comunicación laboral, motivación laboral, condiciones laborales y factores psicosociales. Se aplicó un cuestionario con datos sociodemográficos a sus subordinados y de escala de Likert, basado en el cuestionario de D. Goleman. Como resultado se obtuvo el estilo de liderazgo que más predomino y las diferencias de género, así como la relación con los factores estudiados.

Abstract: An abnormal noise problem was reported in a pickup truck equipped with a 2.0 L efficient engine during start-up. The noise was reproduced by the engine anechoic chamber bench for further analysis. NVH test (conducted through audio playback and signal filtering) showed that the noise had a signal of 1–3 kHz. Analysis through cylinder-by-cylinder oil-cutting method found that the abnormal noise completely disappeared after the fourth cylinder was cut off, indicating that the noise was related to the combustion of the fourth cylinder. The combustion characteristics of each cylinder were then analyzed in the starting condition through the Kibox combustion analyzer. The noise appeared after the first fuel injection of the fourth cylinder, and the maximum pressure rise rate was 42 Bar/°, confirming that the abnormal noise was combustion noise. Further tests on the physical fuel injection signal of each cylinder found that the fourth cylinder only had the main injection signal with no pilot injection signal. Further analysis of the synchronization signal recognition method of the model and the underlying logic of the fuel injection program showed that the synchronization signal was recognized for the first time in the starting process after the calculation moment of the 4th cylinder pre-injection program, resulting in the failure of the pre-injection calculation. Finally, the bottom fuel injection interrupt program was pushed back (60° to the crankshaft angle), ensuring smooth injection of the 4th cylinder pilot injection in the starting working condition, thus solving the abnormal noise without impacting engine performance.
Correlative and Free Relative constructions in Odia and English
Authors: Sahoo Kalyanamalini , Hellan Lars 
Published: May 2024

The present paper investigates multiple Correlative Constructions (CC) in Odia and sketches a combined semantic and syntactic analysis. The paper describes Correlative Constructions and related constructions in Odia, with a view especially to its quantificational systems, one residing in lexical quantifiers, and one in the clause combinations which constitute CCs. Over the last decades, a growing literature has addressed similarities between CCs as instantiated in languages on the Indian subcontinent and types of Free Relatives, e.g., in English, as they occur in positions adjoined to clauses, here to be called Adjoined Free Relatives (AFRs). AFR constructions supplement lexical quantification in English in a parallel way to CCs in Odia, and we explore possibilities of representing CCs and AFR constructions within a common semantico-syntactic frame of analysis. We show how the quantificational effects of CCs can be derived from their character as relative constructions, residing in what we call co-targeted predicates, as opposed to lexical encoding of quantificational meaning through items such as ‘each’, ‘every’ and the like. We thereby describe two distinct strategies for obtaining partially similar quantificational effects, a finding which applies to CC/AFR constructions cross-linguistically.
The Establishment and Application of the DNA of Customs Law and Practice
Authors: Walsh Tom 
Published: May 2024

This article is a synthesis of the author’s previously published books and theses (see Walsh, 1986; Walsh, 1996; Walsh, 2015, Walsh, 2020). Notwithstanding the findings of the Irish Commission on Taxation in 1985 (see Irish Government, 1985) (to the effect that they found customs law and administration to be “impenetrable” owing to its antiquity), the author takes the contrary view, which is that customs law, generally, has a perceptible pattern that can be traced and explained in a simple and straightforward manner to yield its raison d’être (its DNA). His particular premise is that identifiable and immutable principles of taxation and administration are at the heart of customs procedures and practices; that these principles of taxation and customs control determine the broad framework of customs legislation generally; and this has been the position from time immemorial, right up to the present day. To validate this premise, he has identified and distilled these formulating principles as they evolved over the centuries in Irish (and English) law. Having done so, he further goes on to house them within the framework of Adam Smith’s so-called canons of taxation (see Smith, 1776) to make them more meaningful in the overall scheme of taxation. It is worth noting that Smith was once a Commissioner of Customs in Scotland. At the same time, the author demonstrates that these principles are enshrined in the customs law of the European Union (EU) and have been influential in the formulation of the original, overarching Kyoto Convention on the Simplification and Harmonisation of Customs Procedures, and its successor, the Revised Kyoto Convention. During its Comparative Studies of Customs Procedures undertaken in the 1950s and 1960s (see Customs Co-operation Council, n.d.), the then Customs Co-operation Council (CCC – now the World Customs Organization) independently came to the same broad conclusion – albeit without identifying or specifying the underpinning individual principles involved. The studies covered the entire spectrum of customs law and embraced the procedures and practices in force in all the then Council member countries. The studies covered the following customs procedures: 1. (a) Study No. 1 (1957) – Importation by Sea: Formalities on Arrival of Ships, prior to Unloading 2. (b) Study No. 2 (1957) – Importation by Sea: Unloading 3. (c) Study No. 3 (1958) – Importation by inland frontiers: Formalities on arrival up to presentation of goods declaration 4. (d) Study No. 4 (1959) – Importation by Air: Formalities on arrival of aircraft, up to presentation of goods declaration 5. (e) Study No. 5 – (Date Unknown) – Clearance of Goods for Home Use 6. (f) Study No. 6 (1964) – Customs transit of imported goods 7. (g) Study No. 7 (1965) – Customs warehousing procedure 8. (h) Study No. 8 (1966) – Temporary Admission 9. (i) Study No. 9 (1968) – Drawback 10. (j) Study No. 10 (1966) – The right of appeal in customs matters 11. (k) Study No. 11 (1968) – Rail traffic.

O artigo aqui descrito aborda a análise e compreensão das estruturas de mercado e suas implicações na sociedade. O estudo explora como as diversas estruturas de mercado afetam nossas vidas e reforça a concorrência de mercado. Focamos em realizar uma investigação abrangente das diferentes estruturas de mercado que moldam a economia. A metodologia empregada baseia-se na revisão de revistas e pesquisa literária, permitindo uma análise aprofundada das teorias de mercado e suas implicações. Além disso, são exploradas as implicações práticas dessas estruturas para as empresas e os consumidores, o foco desta investigação recaiu sobre um cenário específico no setor de transporte fluvial na cidade de Cabedelo, onde se identificou a presença de um monopólio. Por meio de uma abordagem multidisciplinar, foram examinados os mecanismos que caracterizam a estrutura monopolística, considerando tanto os aspectos teóricos quanto as observações práticas no contexto local. A análise do monopólio no transporte fluvial revelou um panorama onde uma única empresa detinha o controle exclusivo dessa modalidade de serviço em Cabedelo. Essa concentração de poder levanta questões cruciais sobre a eficiência econômica, a precificação dos serviços e o impacto nas escolhas dos consumidores. Este artigo examina ainda como as políticas públicas podem ser moldadas para melhorar o funcionamento dos mercados e garantir um equilíbrio entre interesses econômicos e sociais. Ao analisar as estruturas de mercado e as políticas públicas relacionadas, este estudo contribui para uma compreensão mais abrangente do papel do Estado na economia e seu impacto nas vidas das pessoas. As conclusões obtidas oferecem informações valiosas para a reflexão sobre medidas regulatórias ou estratégias que possam incentivar uma competição mais saudável e beneficiar tanto as empresas quanto os usuários desse serviço essencial para a comunidade local.

Lives and Deaths of Werther
Authors: Kaminski Johannes 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Werther is different Werthers but not everywhere at the same time. This study investigates how the novel’s interpretations, translations and literary adaptations have left their marks on the original text, but this time without judging them against the canonical ideas of academic criticism. It turns out that Werther’s narrative malleability facilitates its use as a “graft.” By isolating some elements of the narrative and eliminating others, readers can draw on Werther to make a case for various ideological projects. He is a sick man, but also a revolutionary hero. His suicide is self-determined, even heroic. In contrast to the epistolary novel’s precarious status in Germany, where it was—and continues to be—downplayed as an immature work of the great Goethe, French Romantic poets such as Chateaubriand and Senancour embraced the novel as a valid template of modern subjectivity. In pre-Risorgimento Italy, Foscolo drew on the book to tell a story of patriotic martyrdom. And in East Asia, the same malleability contributed to Werther’s iconic status among Japanese and Chinese modern writers of the early twentieth century. While translators struggled to capture its explosive literary style in their native languages, literary successors did not detect much foreignness in the text’s ethos; instead, it formed part of the discovery of their own literary heritage.
Joys and Sorrows of Interpretation
Authors: Kaminski Johannes 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Chapter 1 examines a wealth of Goethe criticism, ranging from the late eighteenth century until today, in the light of literary theory. This examination dismantles the epistemological frameworks that assign foreign reception histories a marginal status. I propose a framework that takes into account how Werther produces a semantic “plural.” Since the book’s first publication in 1774, the text has produced tides of commentary that have largely consolidated around the idea that the epistolary novel revolves around a psychopathological character, albeit a charming one. Meanwhile, Werther’s integration into foreign national literatures pursued alternative paths, resulting in their implicit classification as “misunderstandings.” To challenge the epistemological assumptions that underpin the concept of “misunderstanding”, this chapter examines historical and authoritative Werther interpretations, including historic biographic analyses, studies on reader-response dynamics, hermeneutics, psychoanalysis and discourse analysis. Regardless of their vastly different ideas about Goethe’s book, they are united by a shared preference for the invocation of singular meaning.
Introduction
Authors: Mansell Charmian 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
After surveying the existing historiography on service, this chapter proposes a new approach to studying female servants in early modern England. Offering a corrective to the prescriptive codes of behaviour disseminated in legal treatises and didactic literature, this book systematically unpicks evidence of the lives of over 1000 female servants recorded in church court depositions and recasts the household-centred, patriarchal context in which they have previously been studied. The chapter introduces central themes of the book: age and social structure of service, regulation and law, agency and freedom, work, and community. This chapter introduces readers to the church courts and the depositions upon which this study rests. Drawn from a variety of regions across the south and south-west of England, the women within the book lived in both urban and rural settlements that offer different economic, topographical, and social contexts for their study.
Remembering Service
Authors: Mansell Charmian 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores memories of service recalled by female deponents in the church courts. Focusing on a sub-set of women whose memories of service reached far back into the past, the chapter probes their recollections to capture the lasting impact of service on women’s identities and lives. Being a servant witness signified dependency and poverty, attributes that the opposing side leveraged as grounds for dismissal of the testimony (based on poor credit and affinity to a litigating master or mistress). On the other hand, being asked to remember as a former servant recharacterized these women as repositories and sharers of knowledge through their historic service. Their past labour took on new meaning in the courts. The chapter endows service with a longevity beyond the number of years a woman actively served. Imprinted on memory and recalled even through bodily habits and practices, life in service left its mark on women and their identity. The chapter draws attention to the importance of service as a framework for women’s recollections of the past. Service helped make sense of and organise their life stories – stories which grounded their working lives within national epidemics, economic crises, local practices, and customs.
Towards Workfare Communities
Authors: Šustrová Radka 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Chapter 4 is the first of three thematic chapters which successively examine the categories of labour, health, and the family in terms of various policies. Labour stayed at the core of the National Socialist ideology and political interests. It was not only related to the definition of an individual’s social situation; many socio-economic measures were also naturally dependent on it, including employment policy, pension and accident insurance, and occupational safety. The disciplinary function of the labour policy measures was emphasised in order to fully support work performance as well as the individual’s willingness and will to work. The object was to ensure the full deployment of Czech workers when sent to the Reich through social insurance, wage regulation, and various forms of bonuses. The measures not only had a levelling effect, but, to a large extent, even a psychological one: by demonstrating that the state cared and giving individuals the impression that they were receiving a ‘fair wage’. Although the war had a negative impact on working conditions, the provision of pension and accident insurance reform and improvements in occupational safety practices significantly contributed to the expansion of the number of insured persons and to the modernisation of social legislation.
