The History of Spain
Authors: Pierson Peter 
Published: January 2024

Every school and public library should update its resources on Spain with this lively and succinct narrative of Spain's long and rich historical experience. Emphasizing people rather than abstract developments, this narrative makes Spanish history readable and engaging. Based on the most recent scholarship, it examines the politics, society, economy, and culture of Spain chronologically, focusing on the last two centuries. Pierson, a noted authority on Spanish history, traces Spain's foundations in the Roman empire and Muslim conquest to its golden age in the late Middle Ages, its subsequent decline, and its struggle to build a democratic government and modern economy following the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. The work provides a timeline of events in Spanish history, brief biographies of key figures, and a bibliographic essay of interest to students and general readers.
An introductory chapter offers an overview of Spain today, its geography, government and politics, economy, religion, and culture. The next few chapters discuss its earliest cultures, its place in the Roman empire, its Christianization and years as a Germanic kingdom, and its incorporation in 711 C.E. by military conquest into the world of Islam. The energies developed in the Christian reconquest of Spain led to its embarkation on the conquest of an overseas empire in the Americas and the Philippines that lasted for more than 300 years and had a profound effect on global history. The interests of the Habsburg (1516-1700) and Bourbon (1700-1808, 1814-1868, and 1875-1931) dynasties on the Spanish throne made Spain a major player in European power politics into the years of the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars. By 1825, its resources drained, Spain painfully adjusted to straightened circumstances, endured civil wars and dictatorships, and struggled to build a democratic government and modern economy, which it has accomplished today.
Homelessness in America
Authors: Wakin Michele 
Published: January 2024

This title provides a one-stop resource for understanding the crisis of homelessness in the United States. It covers risk factors for homelessness, societal attitudes about the homeless, and public and private resources designed to prevent homelessness and help those in need.
There are a number of questions to be answered when addressing the subject of homelessness in the United States. What are the primary causes of homelessness? What are the economic and socioeconomic factors that have an impact on homeless people? What demographic trends can be identified in homeless populations? Is the U.S. addressing the needs and concerns of homeless people adequately? Where are the areas with the highest homeless populations? What can be done to help homeless people who live with mental illness and/or addiction problems?
Homelessness in America: A Reference Handbook answers all of these questions and more. It thoroughly examines the history of homelessness in the U.S., shining a light on the key issues, events, policies, and attitudes that contribute to homelessness and shape the experience of being homeless. It places special emphasis on exploring the myriad problems that force people into homelessness, such as inadequate levels of affordable housing, struggles with substance abuse, and gaps in the U.S.' social welfare system. In addition, it explains why some demographic groups are at heightened risk of homelessness.
International Handbook on Alcohol and Culture
Authors: Heath Dwight B. 
Published: January 2024

The first authoritative guide to how the world drinks, this reference details alcohol use in different countries and cultures. Variation is striking, with alcohol sometimes a food, a sacrament, a symbol, a tool, a tranquilizer, a medicine, a love potion, or an object of scorn—often with very different meanings and uses in a single country. This volume reveals multicultural and ethnic beliefs, practices, and attitudes about drinking around the world.
An extensive introduction discusses the close link between alcohol and culture and provides a foundation for the rest of the book. Each of the following chapters is written by an expert contributor and discusses alcohol and culture in a particular country. Chapters discuss historical trends, drinking among ethnic and religious minorities, national policies, and social outcomes. Countries range from industrial nations known for their alcohol research, to developing nations and to places famous for drinking. A concluding chapter highlights important similarities and differences.
Isabel Allende
Authors: Cox Karen C. 
Published: January 2024

Isabel Allende garnered immediate attention and international acclaim with the 1982 publication of House of Spirits. Allende drew favorable comparisons to male Latin American writers who were dominating a boom movement that mixed political and magical themes. Yet her engaging epic became a bestseller based on its artistic merit, regardless of gender issues, and her ensuing output of fiction and nonfiction continued to establish her esteemed place in the literary ranks. This Critical Companion introduces readers to Allende's writings with accessible literary analysis of her six novels, featuring discussions of plot, character development, thematic concerns and style, historical contexts, and alternative critical perspectives.
A fascinating biographical chapter traces Allende's journey from wife, mother, and journalist in Chile to internationally acclaimed author. Her life story—as stimulating as her novels—offer students and readers a better understanding of the historical and political forces that informed her work. The Literary Heritage chapter provides will deepen readers' appreciation for Allende's contributions to, and place in, the Latin American literary tradition. A select bibliography includes reviews and resources that will be especially useful for student research projects.
Leaders from the 1960s
Authors: Leon David De 
Published: January 2024

The throngs at Woodstock, Jane Fonda in Hanoi, I Have a Dream, burning draft cards, fire in the streets--these images of the 1960s are still very much alive today. What happened to the people and principles that dominated that decade? Which leaders from those turbulent years had the most lasting effect on our lives today? How well have the principles for which those leaders fought so strongly withstood the test of time? This thought-provoking biographical dictionary allows the reader to study the leaders, both conservative and liberal, their ideals, and their enduring influence.
With major sections on racial democracy, peace and freedom, sexuality and gender, the environment, radical culture, and visions of alternative societies, Leaders from the 1960s includes entries on a wide selection of nationally prominent activists of the 1960s. In addition to those who dominated only the sixties, the volume includes earlier activists who came into prominence in the 1960s and activists of the era who came into prominence since the 1960s. Each entry provides a biographical sketch, but the focus of the entries is on the person's basic concepts or the essence of his or her work and the public response it generated. Included are extensive bibliographies on the individuals and the period.
The Poems of Edward Taylor
Authors: Guruswamy Rosemary F. 
Published: January 2024

Edward Taylor (1642-1729) was one of the most influential ministers in Puritan New England. He was also a prolific but unpublished poet. With the discovery of his poetry in 1936 and the publication of a nearly complete volume in 1960, his reputation as the premiere early American poet has grown immensely. His widely anthologized work is taught in most introductory American literature courses and nearly all courses on early American literature. This reference is a convenient guide to his poetry, including a summarization of the current state of scholarship on his work.
Beginning with an overview of his life and times, this reference analyzes Taylor's Preparatory Meditations and Gods Determinations, along with his other poems, in light of Puritan doctrine and his thoughts about poetry. The book traces the genesis of his works, their editorial and publication history, and the complex cultural and historical background of his writings. Later chapters discuss his themes, his poetic art, and the reception of his works. A brief bibliographical essay completes the volume.
Pop Goes the Decade
Authors: Giordano Ralph G. 
Published: January 2024

Covering significant historical and cultural moments, public figures and celebrities, art and entertainment, and technology that influenced life during the decade, this book documents the 1950s through the lens of popular culture.
On the surface, the 1950s was a time of post-war prosperity and abundance. However, in spite of a relaxation of immigration policies, the "good life" in the 50s was mainly confined to white non-ethnic Americans. A new Cold War with the Soviet Union intended to contain the threat of Communism, and the resulting red scare tinged the experience of all U.S. citizens during the decade.
This book examines the key trends, people, and movements of the 1950s and inspects them within a larger cultural and social context. By highlighting controversies in the decade, readers will gain a better understanding of the social values and thinking of the time. The examination of the individuals who influenced American culture in the 1950s enables students to gauge the tension between established norms of conformity and those figures that used pop culture as a broad avenue for change—either intentionally, or by accident.

Published: January 2024

El impacto económico se entiende como el efecto que una medida o acción generan en la economía. La presencia de un Centro Universitario en el municipio de Temascaltepec, Estado de México, con una población de más de 1000 estudiantes, genera efectos económicos que son notorios a simple vista, aunque estos no han sido cuantificados. Así, el objetivo principal de esta investigación fue evaluar el impacto que la comunidad universitaria genera sobre la economía de la cabecera municipal a partir de su contribución al PIB. Con tal fin, se realizó una investigación cuantitativa a partir de datos estadísticos e información recabada de fuentes primarias a través de entrevistas con informantes clave, la información se plasmó y analizó a partir matrices input-output. Como resultado se pudo medir el gasto y derrama económica generada por la comunidad universitaria y por los agentes relacionados con ella hasta antes de la contingencia sanitaria de 2020. Se encontró que para el año 2019, esta derrama económica equivalía a 7.64% al PIB municipal, reflejado principalmente en términos de renta y empleos generados en actividades directamente relacionadas con la comunidad universitaria.

Abstract. Dust models are widely applied over the East Asian region for the simulation of dust emission, transport, and deposition. However, due to the uncertainties in estimates of dust transport, these methods still lack the necessary precision to capture the complexity of transboundary dust events. This study demonstrates an improvement in the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model dust treatment during long-range transport of dust from northwestern China to the South China Sea (SCS). To accomplish this, we considered a super dust storm (SDS) event in March 2010 and evaluated the dust scheme by including adjustments to the recent calibration (Dust_Refined_1) and bulk density (Dust_Refined_2) refinements individually and in combination (Dust_Refined_3). The Dust_Refined_3 normalized mean bias of PM10 was −30.65 % for the 2010 SDS event, which was lower in magnitude compared to Dust_Refined_1 (−41.18 %) and Dust_Refined_2 (−49.88 %). Indeed, Dust_Refined_3 improved the simulated aerosol optical depth (AOD) value during significant dust cases, e.g., in March 2005, March 2006, and April 2009. Dust_Refined_3 also showed more clearly that, in March 2010, a “double plume” (i.e., one plume originating from the Taiwan Strait and the other from the western Pacific) separated by the Central Mountain Range (CMR) of Taiwan affected dust transport on the island of Dongsha in the SCS. On 15–21 April 2021, both CMAQ simulations and satellite data highlighted the influence of Typhoon Surigae on dust transport to downwind Taiwan and the western Pacific Ocean (WPO). The CMAQ Dust_Refined_3 simulations further revealed that many dust aerosols were removed over the WPO due to Typhoon Surigae. Hence, the model indicated a near-zero dust particle concentration over the WPO, which was significantly different from previous dust transport episodes over the Taiwan region. Therefore, our study suggested an effective method to improve dust management of CMAQ under unique topographical and meteorological conditions.

Abstract. The reduction of CO2 emissions and the enhancement of CO2 removals related to land use are considered essential for future pathways towards net-zero emissions and mitigating climate change. With the growing pressure under global climate treaties, country-level land-use CO2 flux data are becoming increasingly important. So far, country-level estimates are mainly available through official country reports, such as the greenhouse gas inventories reported to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Recently, different modelling approaches, namely dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) and bookkeeping models, have moved to higher spatial resolutions, which makes it possible to obtain model-based country-level estimates that are globally consistent in their methodology. To progress towards a largely independent assessment of country reports using models, we analyse the robustness of country-level CO2 flux estimates from different modelling approaches in the period 1950–2021 and compare them with estimates from country reports. Our results highlight the general ability of modelling approaches to estimate land-use CO2 fluxes at the country level and at higher spatial resolution. Modelled land-use CO2 flux estimates generally agree well, but the investigation of multiple DGVMs and bookkeeping models reveals that the robustness of their estimates strongly varies across countries, and substantial uncertainties remain, even for top emitters. Similarly, modelled land-use CO2 flux estimates and country-report-based estimates agree reasonably well in many countries once their differing definitions are accounted for, although differences remain in some other countries. A separate analysis of CO2 emissions and removals from land use using bookkeeping models also shows that historical peaks in net fluxes stem from emission peaks in most countries, whereas the long-term trends are more connected to removal dynamics. The ratio of the net flux to the sum of CO2 emissions and removals from land use (the net-to-gross flux ratio) underlines the spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the drivers of net land-use CO2 flux trends. In many tropical regions, net-to-gross flux ratios of about 50 % are due to much larger emissions than removals; in many temperate countries, ratios close to zero show that emissions and removals largely offset each other. Considering only the net flux thus potentially masks large emissions and removals and the different timescales upon which they act, particularly if averaged over countries or larger regions, highlighting the need for future studies to focus more on the gross fluxes. Data from this study are openly available via the Zenodo portal at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8144174 (Obermeier et al., 2023).
A Study of the Reinterpretation of the Qur’ān in a Seventeenth-Century Malay Sufi Text Written by al-Rānīrī
Authors: Nasir Mohamad Nasrin 
Published: January 2024

Sufi interpretations of the Qur’ān aim to justify a mystic view of the God-human-universe relationship, focusing on the Qur’ānic verses. This paper studies controversies related to the interpretations of the Qur’ān by the Wujūdiyyah Sufis of Malay in the seventeenth-century Acheh and the Malay Archipelago. Their interpretations were pantheistic according to their opponent, the Shaykh al-Islām of Acheh, Nūr al-Dīn al-Rānīrī (d. 1658). Al-Rānīrī challenged the teachings of the Wujūdiyyah Sufis to cleanse Sufism from pantheistic views. The text chosen, al-Fatḥ al-Mubīn ‘alā ’l-Mulḥidīn (A Clear Victory against the Heretics) is a Jawi text written by al-Rānīrī before he left Acheh in 1446 for India. The Wujūdiyyah Sufis interpreted the Qur’ānic verses to support their ideas. In response, al-Rānīrī reinterpreted the same verses to demonstrate the flaws found in their teachings. Issues of reinterpretation, authoritative interpretation, and cogency are clearly expressed in the text. The article provides an overview of the seventeenth-century Malay Sufism which the contemporary scholars of the Islamics often ignore. The paper begins by giving a background of the controversy and proceeds to discuss arguments articulated by al-Rānīrī for a reinterpretation of the Qur’ānic texts misinterpreted by the Wujūdiyyah Sufis, in his quest for upholding the true Sufi view. Whenever possible, a comparative view of the teachings and statements of Ibn al-‘Arabī (d. 1240 CE) is brought into the analysis.

RESUMO
Introdução: Muitas preocupações no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19 com o uso dos serviços de saúde bucal e um agravamento dos problemas bucais foram reportados na literatura. Objetivo: Identificar a concordância entre os agravos bucais autorreferidos durante e após a COVID-19 e condições clínicas de pacientes do município de Palhoça-SC. Materiais e Método: Estudo exploratório, transversal de base quantitativa descritiva com 30 participantes que possuíram testagem positiva para COVID-19 no município de Palhoça-SC. Cada paciente participou de uma avaliação clínica, identificando os agravos bucais, nessa mesma oportunidade, foram registrados dados sociodemográficos e condições bucais autorreferidas. Todas as análises foram conduzidas pelo Software Stata® versão 13. Análises descritivas, inferenciais pelo teste de Qui-quadrado de Pearson (α=5%). Concordância entre presença dos agravos bucais autorreferidos e presença do agravo avaliado clinicamente, pelo coeficiente Kappa e classificadas como: fraca 0 a 0,20; leve 0,21 a 0,40; razoável 0,41 a 0,60; boa 0,61 a 0,80; muito boa 0,81 a 0,92; e excelente 0,93 a 1,00. Resultados: A maioria da amostra foram de mulheres (70%), com idade entre 36-59 anos (56,6%) e de baixa renda (70%). Houve concordância boa entre presença de cárie e relato de dor (Kappa= 0,70), e para o diagnóstico clínico de sangramento gengival e autopercepção ruim/péssima a classificação também foi boa (Kappa=0,72). Todavia, a concordância entre o relato de sintomas de boca seca e baixo fluxo salivar foi considerada razoável (Kappa=0,57), assim como, para a presença de bolsa periodontal e o relato de autopercepção ruim/péssima (Kappa=0,41). Conclusão: A autopercepção das condições de saúde bucal durante a pandemia foi concordante com determinadas condições clínicas que necessitam de atendimento odontológico, corrobando com as preocupações sobre o agravamento das condições bucais durante a pandemia.

Authors: Campos Gisélia , Modesta Regina Célia Della 
Published: January 2024

Com a finalidade de verificar diferenças sensoriais entre mel de melato e mel floral e, identificar a presença do mel de melato misturado ao mel floral, foi aplicado o teste de diferença pareado e a determinação instrumental de cor e turbidez em várias amostras de mel. Foi tomada uma amostra de mel floral puro e uma amostra de mel de melato puro como referências. Foram elaboradas no laboratório misturas de mel floral com quantidades variadas de mel de melato para a aplicação dos testes. Na caracterização sensorial foi observado que o mel floral apresentou aroma e sabor mais característico, menor viscosidade e gosto doce mais acentuado que o mel de melato puro. Em relação às misturas, nos testes definitivos, foi observado que, entre 10 e 15%, a mistura começou a perder aroma e sabor característicos, ficou mais viscosa e mais doce. No entanto, ficou demonstrado que as amostras mostraram variabilidade sensorial. A medida de cor foi afetada pela presença de mel de melato. As medidas de turbidez e luminosidade não mostraram resultadossignificativos.
Demócrito “Bernardo” Bitti, SJ. Un pintor de las Marcas hacia el Nuevo Mundo
Authors: Amerio Elena 
Published: January 2024

Ingresado en la Compañía de Jesús en 1568, el pintor Demócrito “Bernardo” Bitti es considerado como uno de los grandes maestros italianos que con su estilo influenciaron a las primeras generaciones de pintores virreinales peruanos. Su vida y actividad artística en Italia y Perú han sido el objeto de una tesis magistral conducida por la autora y sustentada en julio 2018 en la Universidad de Turín (Italia). En este artículo se presentan por primera vez los resultados de ese trabajo, introduciendo nuevas evidencias documentales sobre Bitti que se encontraron en los archivos italianos (en el ARSI de Roma y en Camerino), materiales inéditos sobre su juventud y su familia que permiten reconstruir su vida antes de llegar a Perú y avanzar hipótesis concretas sobre su formación artística en las Marcas.
El análisis de su catálogo sudamericano, actualizado a los últimos hallazgos, muestra sin duda la importancia de Bitti como misionero en Perú, donde con su arte fue intérprete del mensaje de evangelización jesuita. Palabras clave: Bitti, Manierismo, pintura virreynal, ARSI
