Nothing Personal, Just Business
Authors: Stein Howard F. 
Published: May 2024

Throughout the United States and indeed the world, organizations have become places of darkness, where emotional savagery and brutality are now commonplace and where psychological forms of violence--intimidation, degradation, dehumanization--are the norm. Stein succeeds in portraying this dramatically in his evocative, lucid new book, and in doing so he counters official pronouncements that simply because unemployment is low and productivity high, all is well. Through the use of symbolism and metaphor he gives us access to the interior experience of organizational life today. He employs a form of disciplined subjectivity, based on Freud's concept of counter-transference, and other methods to help us comprehend what such dominating notions as managed social change really mean. Downsizing, reengineering, managed care, endless organizational restructuring--all are presented as just business but in reality, says Stein, they are devastatingly personal in their effects. With numerous vignettes and anecdotes drawn from his formal and informal research, Dr. Stein shows us in often horrifying detail what work has come to be in so many of these dark places--but also what must happen, and can happen, to lift them into the light.
Through consultations, observation, and personal experience, Stein documents the ordinary assaults on the human spirit, a form of violence in the workplace that usually escapes common classification. By that he means culturally sanctioned violence, such as everyday forms of intimidation, ridicule, goading, and doubling of workloads--all in an asserted effort to make the workplace more productive, more competitive. His examples, metaphors, symbols, images come from the Holocaust and the Vietnam War, and refer back to other horrors in other times, the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition among them. His book demonstrates precisely how brutal so many of our rational business practices have become, and how disposable all of us ultimately are, at all levels, in all organizations. Stein draws upon a variety of research techniques, including a form of counter-transference based on Freud's concept, to understand the inner meanings and feelings contained in workplace metaphors and symbols. An incisive foreword by Dr. David B. Friedman, Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine, comments on this, puts the book in perspective and offers additional insights into Stein's themes and how brilliantly he develops them.
Over the Top
Authors: Paris Michael 
Published: May 2024

During the Great War, books and stories for young men were frequently used as unofficial propaganda for recruitment and to sell the war to British youth as a moral crusade. Until now, this literature has been neglected by academics, but the image of the war these fictions created was remarkably enduring and, despite the appearance of post-war literature of disillusioned veterans, continued to shape the attitudes of the young well into the 1930s. This is the first detailed account of how adventure fiction represented the Great War for British boys between 1914 and the end of the war.
Paris examines how such literature explained the causes of the war to boys and girls and how it encouraged young men to participate in the noble crusade on the Western Front and in other theaters. He explores the imagery of the trenches, the war in the air, and the nature of war in the Middle East and Africa. He also details the links between popular writers and the official literary propaganda campaign. The study concludes by looking at how these heroic images remained in print, enduring well into the inter-war years.
Paradigm Debates in Curriculum and Supervision
Authors: Glanz Jeffrey , Behar-Horenstein Linda 
Published: May 2024

Paradigm debates in the educational research community are a frequent if not common occurrence. How do paradigm debates in other educational fields, such as curriculum and supervision, shape educators' understanding and practice? In this volume, it is suggested that educators' adherence to particular views of curriculum and supervision is influential in guiding their beliefs and subsequent actions. For example, a widely accepted belief is that if an individual adopts a mechanistic view of the curriculum, then s/he is likely to deliver a curriculum grounded in pre-established objectives and evaluate student achievement in relationship to formulated objectives. Postmodernists contend that such educators are bound by rigid bifurcation and a constrictive linear logic. In supervision, educational leaders who favor leadership styles comprised by autocratic behaviors, tend to create school climates that favor a top-down approach to human relationships. Autocratic leaders rely on hierarchical organizational structures and styles that seek to instill compliance and subordinance. Yet prospective administrators who want concrete proposals put in practice find modern perspectives of supervision helpful. In contrast, postmodern supervisors allege that such leaders disallow the emergence of relevant and authentic relationships that might occur when conventional hierarchical structures are diminished and open lines of communication between teachers, students, administrators become normative.
The chapters in this book present an in-depth analysis of how an individual's predisposition towards modern and postmodern views of curriculum and supervision are likely to influence: (1) curriculum development, (2) teaching styles, (3) leadership styles, (4) teacher and student evaluation, and (5) the missions intrinsic to the creation of professional preparation programs that serve to promulgate existing practice or create a new order of teachers and administrator.
Peoples of the Gran Chaco
Authors: Miller Elmer 
Published: May 2024

The Gran Chaco region of South America constitutes a cultural area that is little known and largely misunderstood by the majority of people living outside its borders. From the earliest period of European contact, the societies under consideration here defended their territory and resisted first colonial and later national policies of domination and assimilation. The unique forms such resistance took constitute the subject of this book. Contrary to common assumptions, the hunter-gatherer values forged out of a unique environment have shown remarkable resilience throughout the centuries. It is the variety and relentless nature of cultural resistance that is documented in the various chapters presented here.
The points of view expressed are those of scholars trained in a variety of academic settings (England, Sweden, U.S., Argentina) each with its unique perspective and frame of reference. Four of the seven writers are Argentine, three of whom have received training and experience in the U.S. Yet, it is the individual voices of indigenous people themselves that tell the story of contemporary life as experienced in the various societies concerned. They tell about the conditions that shape their lives and engender resistance to full assimilation into the white man's world. These are the voices of the future.
Pistols
Authors: Kinard Jeff 
Published: May 2024

The development of the pistol helped bring the age of the armored knight to an end, provided the elite with a status symbol of dangerous glamour, and inspired both artisans and industrialists to reach new heights of invention.
Pistolsfollows the evolution of personal sidearms in Europe, the United States, and Asia from medieval-era "hand cannons" with their clunky ignition systems, to the revolutionary Colt revolvers of the 19th century, to the modern semiautomatic weapons of today.
Full of fascinating insights and details, this work shows how pistols brought about the decline of knights in armor, and ultimately replaced the sword on the battlefield. The book also explores the pistol's astonishing "democratization" as it moved from being a luxury item of the nobility, to standard issue for soldiers, to a mass-produced commodity and source of intensive corporate competition. Along the way, readers meet the many colorful characters (often eccentric geniuses) who devoted themselves to pistol development.

100 Black Women Who Shaped America
Authors: Starks Glenn L. 
Published: May 2024

This introductory text explores the lives of 100 Black women and their unique and meaningful legacies upon the history, society, and culture of the USA.
Today, the names and remarkable achievements of Black women such as Maya Angelou, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey are well known to many Americans. Yet throughout American history, many lesser-known Black women like them have made invaluable contributions to sports, science, the arts, medicine, politics, and civil rights. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, who published the first newspaper written for and by African American women, championed the cause of women's suffrage. Matilda Sissieretta Jones, whose father was an enslaved person, toured Europe and performed at the White House in front of four different presidents as one of the great sopranos of her generation. Augusta Savage, overcoming racism and sexism, became one of the most celebrated sculptors in history. This book serves as an important reminder that the story of America cannot be told without the Black women who, with strength and determination, have always pushed America forward even when others held them back.

Study Design: Quasi-experimental study.
Place and Duration of Study: Adult Cardiac Surgery and Anesthesiology department, Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology/National Institute of Heart Diseases, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from May to Nov 2023.
Methodology: Eighty patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery (valvular and CABG) on Cardiopulmonary Bypass under general anesthesia irrespective of age and gender were recruited through non-probability consecutive sampling with non-random allocation of study participants. Patients were divided into S Group (Sevoflurane plus Dexmedetomidine Group) and D Group (Dexmedetomidine Group). Modified Brice questionnaire was used to assess awareness after 24 hours of surgery. Chi-square and t-test were applied to compare the study variables among study groups. p <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: A total of 80 patients, who underwent cardiac surgery were recruited. Out of which 40(50.0%) were included in S group and 40(50.0%) were included in D group. 67(83.7%) were males and 13(16.3%) were females. Mean age of the study participants was 59.98±6.85 years. Comparison of study groups showed that 4(10.0%) patients from group-D and 3(7.50%) patients of group-S experienced awareness during surgery (p=1.00). Mean Cardiopulmonary Bypass time was significantly different among study groups (p=0.02)
Conclusion: Patients in S-group experienced slightly less awareness as compared to the patients in D-group but the difference was not statistically significant concluding the fact that Dexmedetomidine is sufficient to avoid awareness

Authors: Renda Natalina Pratama  
Published: May 2024

Latar Belakang : Rasa sakit saat proses persalinan adalah fenomena fisiologis yang dialami oleh ibu selama melahirkan. Kontraksi yang terjadi memicu stres dan pelepasan hormon seperti katekolamin dan steroid. Hormon-hormon ini menyebabkan otot polos menjadi tegang dan pembuluh darah mengalami penyempitan, yang pada gilirannya dapat mengurangi kontraksi uterus dan aliran darah ke plasenta, sehingga menyebabkan kurangnya suplai darah dan oksigen ke uterus, menyebabkan iskemia. Hal ini dapat meningkatkan impuls rasa sakit, dan jika tidak ditangani, nyeri persalinan dapat memperpanjang proses persalinan. Tujuan: Melakukan asuhan kebidanan pada Ny “S” yaitu secara komprehensif dari masa kehamilan, persalinan, nifas, bayi baru lahir dengan menerapkan pemberian aromaterapi lavender pada kala I fase aktif.

Caliphate is a term which is used in Islamic history for the governmental system adopted by companions of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) in the light of the teaching of Islam. Madina was the capital for caliphate. The system of appointment of the Caliph used to vary time to time. The model system of caliphate was finished with the death of 4th Caliph Hadrat Ali (R.A). There were found monarchy system in Banu Ummayad, Banu Abbas period, and later on in Ottoman Empire in Turkey but, they always used to name themselves Caliphs. Caliph was considered the sole leader of the all the Muslims living all over the world. Last living Ottoman Empire ended in 1923 after the World War 2. Now Muslims have no caliph, who can solidify them, that’s way they are diversified. For the time being, there are groups among the Muslims who do not believe in Caliphate. They have doubts in this regard whether caliphate is proved by Quran and Sunnah or not? Some of them believe in democracy or other nature of dominion. I tried my best to prove caliphate in the light of Quran, Sunnah and sayings of the predecessors.
