Perceived Predisposition Factors of Diabetes and Hypertension in the Shai-Osudoku District of Ghana
Authors: Kodom Michael Amponsah 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This study examined the perceived predisposition factors of diabetes and hypertension in the Shai-Osudoku district of Ghana. The research design adopted by the study was qualitative approach. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data.
Materials and Methods: A total of fifty-two (52) participants made up of thirty-five (35) without any diabetes or hypertension and ten (10) with only hypertension and eight (8) with both diabetes and hypertension were involved in the study. For participants without diabetes or hypertension, the process of selection was simple random sampling while those with either hypertension and diabetes or only hypertension, snow ball process was used to identify them. Content analysis with coding of the information was used to analysis the data.
Findings: The paper identified a number of perceptions and firmly held beliefs about the predisposition causes of diabetes and hypertension. These include spiritual means of contracting diabetes and hypertension, the type of work one does, the kind of foods one eats, the age of a person, from parents to children, eating habits of a person, and lack of exercise/physical activities. Two theories of causes of disease conditions were used in this study. These are: the Health Believe Model (HBM) and General Susceptibility Causes of Disease (GSCD). Comparing the above findings in the context of the two theories, it can therefore be said that, the participants’ opinion regarding behavioural risk factors of diabetes and hypertension are in consistance with the theories used for the study.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on the findings, it is recommended that, the Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service should engage social scientists such as sociologists and psychologists at the various healthcare centers to assist health professionals to improve the understanding of their patients; especially those with medical complications such as diabetes and hypertension in order to increase patient adherence to treatment. This is because if diabetic or hypertensive patient has a belief that his/her condition is caused by spiritual means, it presupposes that it can only be cured through spiritual means and therefore he/she will not adhere to routine medications as the case may be.
A Cultural History Of Death In The Modern Age
Authors: Davies Douglas J. 
Published: February 2024

The medieval cultures of Europe (800-1450) produced novel cultural forms related to the human experience of death and dying that merit deep consideration. This volume contributes fresh interpretations and a new synthesis of perspectives on this dynamic cultural horizon informed by breakthrough work in a range of fields, including archaeology, art history, history, literature, and theology. The authors of individual chapters bring to their topics not just expertise in their given fields, but also a sense of major shifts in the way we study death, reflecting on the changing norms, attitudes, and values that drove people’s experience of this crucial last phase of life.
Pushing back against the tired cliches about death in pre-modern culture, the essays detail those features of death culture that persist through time and across cultures—like the preference for burial in churches and churchyards across Europe—while also marking the emergence of novel and distinctive practices and beliefs—like the evolution of Purgatory, with associated impacts on prayers for the dead. While attending to sharp differences between the medieval world and our own, the authors also note uncanny continuities with the present. The cumulative effect is to leave the reader with a profound sense of the cultural contribution of the medieval period to the moral obligation to take ownership of our own deaths, regardless of our belief system, and to honor our relationship to the dead, on whom our cultures are founded.
A Cultural History Of Death In The Renaissance
Authors: Raeburn Gordon D. , Warne Nathaniel A. 
Published: February 2024

The movement from the Renaissance to the early modern period may have been one of the most tumultuous times in the history of the western world. Everything, sacred and profane, was up for grabs which meant attitudes and behaviors around death underwent a profound change. This book examines the period between 1450 and 1650, encompassing the Reformation and the Renaissance and the significant changes in theology, philosophy, and culture, as long-held scientific, moral, and philosophical presumptions were beginning to be questioned and scrutinized. Contributors to the volume explore how the conflicting ideas brought about by figures such as Martin Luther and Galileo, inventions such as the printing press, and the changing tides of religion and spiritual ideals of ‘the good death’ contributed to an evolving sense of what dying and death meant to people at the time.
Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, this volume presents essays that examine key tenets of death; Dead and Dying Bodes; The Sensory Aesthetics of Death; Emotions, Mortality and Vitality; Death’s Ritual-Symbolic Performance; Sites, Power and the Politics of Death; Gender, Age and Identity; Belief, Law and Ethics and the Undead and Eternal.
Food Culture in Germany
Authors: Heinzelmann Ursula 
Published: February 2024

The grown-up Germany of today is able to explore its cultural identity, including its food culture. For some years now, German food has seen a return to regionalism, and beloved traditional dishes have been rediscovered and revived, counteracting to some extent the effects of globalization and industrialization. As well, a host of new culinary traditions brought in with new immigrants makes for an exciting food scene. Food Culture in Germany, written by a native Berliner, is destined to become a classic as the best source in English for a thorough and up-to-date understanding of Germans and their food–the history, foodstuffs, cooking, special occasions, lifestyle eating habits, and diet and health.
The Historical Overview chapter takes the reader on a culinary tour from ancient times through the Holy Roman Empire to the Lebensraum of Hitler and on to reunification of the two Germanys until today's return to normalcy. Chapter 2, Major Foods and Ingredients, highlights the classic German staples. Chapter 3, Cooking, discusses the family and gender dynamics plus cooking techniques and utensils, the German kitchen, and the professional chef as media figure phenomenon. The Typical Meals chapter gives an in-depth insider's look at how and what Germans eat today. Chapter 5, Eating Out, describes the wide range of opportunities for eating out, from grabbing Currywurst on the street, to lunching in office and school cafeterias, to meeting friends for coffee and cake at the Konditerei. German holidays and special occasions are elaborated on in the context of more secular and younger influences in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 covers the German diet and the strong interest in health in the country, with its holistic roots. Food safety, a big topic in Europe today, is also discussed at length. An introduction, chronology, glossary, resource guide, selected bibliography, and illustrations complete this outstanding resource.
Food Culture in the Caribbean
Authors: Houston Lynn M. 
Published: February 2024

Food in the Caribbean reflects both the best and worst of the Caribbean's history. On the positive side, Caribbean culture has been compared with a popular stew there called callaloo. The stew analogy comes from the many different ethic groups peacefully maintaining their traditions and customs while blending together, creating a distinct new flavor. On the negative side, many foods and cooking techniques derive from a history of violent European conquest, the importation of slaves from Africa, and the indentured servitude of immigrants in the plantation system. Within this context, students and other readers will understand the diverse island societies and ethnicities through their food cultures. Some highlights include the discussion of the Caribbean concept of making do�using whatever is on hand or can be found�the unique fruits and starches, the one-pot meal, the technique of jerking meat, and the preference for cooking outdoors.
The Caribbean is known as the cradle of the Americas. The Columbian food exchange, which brought products from the Caribbean and the Americas to the rest of the world, transformed global food culture. Caribbean food culture has wider resonance to North, Central, and South America as well. The parallels in the food-related evolution in the Americas include the early indigenous foods and agriculture; the import and export of foods; the imported food culture of colonizers, settlers, and immigrants; the intricacies of defining an independent national food culture; the loss of the traditional agricultural system; the trade issues sparked by globalization; and the health crises prompted by the growing fast-food industry. This thorough overview of island food culture is an essential component in understanding the Caribbean past and present.

En este estudio se pretende abordar aspectos del barrio de La Chana en Granada desde el punto de vista de la exclusión social debido al aislamiento generado por las denominadas Ciudades cuarteadas o quartered cities. Se aborda este tema desde una perspectiva de la violencia simbólica y estructural que se genera a raíz de la disposición arquitectónica de las ciudades. En este sentido se obtienen una visión sobre cómo el barrio de La Chana se encuentra excluido del resto de la ciudad de Granada debido a delimitación del espacio físico que le generan la red ferroviaria que rodea al barrio. A través de los Indicadores Básicos de Vulnerabilidad Urbana (IBVU), y la complementación con información gráfica sobre la realidad social de la estructura del barrio, se observa que en barrio de La Chana los niveles de vulnerabilidad han bajado de manera general con respecto al año 2001, pero siguen siendo altos en el año 2011. Por otro lado, se observa un proceso de guetificación del barrio dada la poca accesibilidad del mismo, lo que provoca una situación de exclusión social debido a la existencia de muros físicos y simbólicos en el barrio. Por último, se concluye que la teoría de las ciudades cuarteadas puede tener aplicaciones prácticas, mostrando barreras simbólicas y violencias estructurales que nacen a raíz de la estructuración del espacio físico.

Published: February 2024

Chinese culture has undergone its development and evolution of five thousand years, leaving people with valuable ideological inside information. However, influenced by western culture, the contemporary world has gradually shown a trend of modern management, which is quite different from the cultural philosophy and management thought involved in Chinese tradition. Therefore, this paper studies the differences between Chinese traditional and modern management thoughts, and proposes the relevant integration methods of taking the essence and discarding the dross, seeking the golden mean in competition and cooperation, promoting the integration of rule of virtue and rule of law, regulating the relationship between interests, righteousness and benefits, and advocating people first.
Using Preference Cards to Support a Thoughtful, Evidence-based Orthopaedic Surgery Practice
Authors: Bellaire Laura L. , Nichol Peter F. , Noonan Kenneth , Shea Kevin G. 
Published: February 2024

Introduction:
When orthopaedic surgeons begin or relocate their careers, they must communicate effectively about their instrumentation and equipment needs. ‘Preference Cards’ or ‘Pick Lists’ are generated by and for individual surgeons at the time of hire and can be updated over time to reflect their needs for common cases. Currently, such decisions are made without formal guidance or preparation.

Body:
Surgeons must consider and plan for their operating room needs. Health system and industry factors affect these decisions, as do surgeons' unique interests, preferences, and biases. Orthopaedic surgeons currently face challenges: formal education is deficient in this space, material and reprocessing costs are not transparent, relationships and contracts with industry are complex, and few health systems have mechanisms to support preference card optimization. This complex landscape influences utilization decisions and leaves opportunities for integration, collaboration, and innovation.

Summary:
Choices about instrument and resource utilization in the OR have wide-reaching impacts on costs, waste generation, OR efficiency, sterile processing, and industry trends. Surgeons and their teams have much to gain by making intentional choices and pursuing both individual and systematic improvements in this space.

Active flow control optimization on Selig Donovan 7003 airfoil
Authors:   , Monshi Tousi Navid 
Published: February 2024

(English) The PhD focuses on the study of the flow around an airfoil at different Angles of Attack (AoA) with and without the implementation of Active Flow Control (AFC), while maintaining the Reynolds number constant at 60,000. The advantages of employing AFC technology are clearly established.

The PhD is divided into three main studies:

1-	The flow over the airfoil at different AoA and using the 2D Spalart-Allmaras (SA) RANS turbulence model is studied. A novel and precise methodology is employed to optimize five AFC-associated parameters.

2-	In the second stage, three-dimensional Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are conducted on both the baseline and the previously optimized actuated cases to examine the appropriateness of the SA turbulence model for the AFC optimization.

3-	The effect of AFC on the flow performance, boundary layer, separation, and the forces acting on the airfoil is explored as a function of the nutilda boundary conditions value at the computational domain inlet and the synthetic jet. The optimum values of nutilda, which generate the most precise 2D-RANS-SA simulations, are obtained.
(Català) La tesi es centra en l'estudi del flux al voltant de un perfil alar per diferents angles d'atac (AoA) i quan la técnica de control actiu de flux (AFC) es aplicada, la comparació amb el cas base clarifica les avantatges de la utilització de AFC. Tot l'estudi es fa per un número de Reynolds de 60000.
La tesi es pot dividir en tres grans blocs:

1.- Estudi del flux bidimensional al voltant del perfil triat i per diferents AoA utilitzant el model de turbulencia Spalart Allmaras. Una nova metodologia per optimitzar els cinc paràmetres associats a la técnica AFC ha sigut dissenyada i aplicada per primera vegada en aquesta tesi.

2.-Simulacions tridimensionals utilitzant el model de turbulencia LES es aplicada a un angle d'atac determinat tant per el cas base com quan es consideren els cinc paràmetres AFC optimitzats en l'estudi bidimensional inicial. La comparació entre els paràmetres associats al flux amb	sense AFC i entre les simulacions 2D-SA i les 3D-LES, han permès clarificar la precisió dels models 2D.

3.- El efecte de l'aplicació de la técnica AFC sobre el punt de separació de la capa límit, i els coefficients de pressió, fricció, arrastre i sustentació, son avaluats per diferents valors del paràmetre nutilde associat al model de turbulecia Spalart Allmaras donat com a condicions de contorn a l'entrada del domini computacional i del synthetic jet. En aquest tercer bloc, s'han definit per primera vegada quins son els valors de nutilde que fan que les simulacions bidimensional siguin més properes a les 3D-LES.
