The Microgrid Revolution
Authors: Bhave Mahesh P. 
Published: November 2023

What kinds (according to U.S. News & World Report) of clean electricity initiatives—ones that make sense on public policy and business strategy levels—could overcome the hurdles in shifting away from the entrenched electricity and petroleum-based transport industries in the United States? This book explores the tremendous opportunities of the new electricity revolution that looks to threaten the century-old business models of our existing power production infrastructure.
The electricity industry, having been in place for more than 100 years, has established tremendous power and influence. But as solar- and wind-based energy businesses gain small footholds and expand their impact, the incumbent electricity businesses face fundamental challenges that threaten their century-old business models. Will technological advances and the motivation to control climate change finally effect a revolution in the electricity markets? This unique book proposes public policy- and business strategy-level initiatives that could overcome the structural impediments that prevail in the current electricity industries and predicts the important changes to come in the immediate and distant future.
In The Microgrid Revolution: Business Strategies for Next-Generation Electricity, author Mahesh P. Bhave explains the current state of electricity production, identifies its widespread problems, and proposes a specific approach and particular solution to the puzzle of supplying clean energy for the 21st-century world. The introductory chapters lay the groundwork for the author’s provocative thesis, and the concluding chapters elaborate on it with broad implications. By examining the subject material from the perspectives of public policy and regulatory concerns, corporate strategy, industry structure changes, innovation, and climate change as well as from a technological angle, readers from diverse industries and professional backgrounds will be able to understand how the coming electricity revolution is something we all have the power to influence.

Mummies around the World
Authors: Cardin Matt 
Published: November 2023

Perfect for school and public libraries, this is the only reference book to combine pop culture with science to uncover the mystery behind mummies and the mummification phenomena.
Mortality and death have always fascinated humankind. Civilizations from all over the world have practiced mummification as a means of preserving life after death—a ritual which captures the imagination of scientists, artists, and laypeople alike. This comprehensive encyclopedia focuses on all aspects of mummies: their ancient and modern history; their scientific study; their occurrence around the world; the religious and cultural beliefs surrounding them; and their roles in literary and cinematic entertainment.
Author and horror guru Matt Cardin brings together 130 original articles written by an international roster of leading scientists and scholars to examine the art, science, and religious rituals of mummification throughout history. Through a combination of factual articles and topical essays, this book reviews cultural beliefs about death; the afterlife; and the interment, entombment, and cremation of human corpses in places like Egypt, Europe, Asia, and Central and South America. Additionally, the book covers the phenomenon of natural mummification where environmental conditions result in the spontaneous preservation of human and animal remains.
North from Mexico
Authors: McWilliams Carey , Meier Matt S. , García Alma M. 
Published: November 2023

This single-volume book provides students, educators, and politicians with an update to the classic Carey McWilliams work North From Mexico. It provides up-to-date information on the Chicano experience and the emergent social dynamics in the United States as a result of Mexican immigration.
Carey McWilliam's North From Mexico, first published in 1948, is a classic survey of Chicano history. Now fully updated by Alma M. García to cover the period from 1990 to the present, McWilliams's quintessential book explores all aspects of Chicano/a experiences in the United States, including employment, family, immigration policy, language issues, and other cultural, political, and social issues. The volume builds on the landmark work and also provides relevant up-to-date content to the 1990 edition revised by Matt S. Meier, which added coverage of the key period in Chicano history from the postwar period through to the late 1980s.
As the largest group of immigrants in the United States, representing more than a quarter of foreign-born individuals in the United States, Mexican immigrants have had and will continue to have a tremendous impact on the culture and society of the United States as a whole. This freshly updated edition of North from Mexico addresses the changing demographic trends within Mexican immigrant communities and their implications for the country; analyzes key immigration policies such as the Immigration Act of 1990 and California's Proposition 187, with specific emphasis on the political mobilization that has developed within Mexican American immigrant communities; and describes the development of immigration reform as well as community organizations and electoral politics.
The book contains new chapters that examine recent trends in Mexican immigration to the United States and identify the impact on politics and society of Mexican immigrants and later generations of U.S.-born Mexican Americans. The appendices provide readers and researchers with current immigration figures and information regarding today's socieconomic conditions for Mexican Americans.
The Ongoing Columbian Exchange
Authors: Cumo Christopher 
Published: November 2023

This unique encyclopedia enables students to understand the myriad ways that the Columbian Exchange shaped the modern world, covering every major living organism from pathogens and plants to insects and mammals.
Most people have only the vaguest notion of how profoundly the world was changed by Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas. Indeed, some of what is commonly regarded as “traditional” Native American life and culture—living in teepees and hunting buffalo from horseback, for example—came from the arrival of Europeans. This encyclopedia helps students acquire fundamental information about the Columbian Exchange through approximately 100 alphabetically arranged entries on animals, plants, diseases, and items that were exchanged, accompanied by sidebars throughout that provide interesting discussions of key people, companies, and other related topics.
The work begins with an introductory essay that overviews the Columbian exchange and not only addresses its biological and cultural components but also treats it as a political and economic event. The alphabetically organized entries cover topics ranging from the African slave trade, almonds, and alpacas to watermelon, whooping cough, and yellow fever. The encyclopedia also offers a chronology of the major events of the Columbian Exchange as well as 15 transcribed primary source documents that enable students to "look into history directly," including passages about the exchange that focus on the Irish Potato Famine, the slave trade, and the influenza pandemic of 1918–1919.
Power, Politics, and the Decline of the Civil Rights Movement
Authors: Lehman Christopher P. 
Published: November 2023

The book examines how the coalition among the national African American civil rights organizations disintegrated between 1967 and 1973 as a result of the factionalism that splintered the groups from within as well as the federal government's sabotage of the Civil Rights Movement.
Focusing on four major civil rights groups, Power, Politics, and the Decline of the Civil Rights Movement: A Fragile Coalition, 1967–1973 documents how factions within the movement and sabotage from the federal government led to the gradual splintering of the Civil Rights Movement. Well-known historian Christopher P. Lehman builds his case convincingly, utilizing his original research on the Movement's later years—a period typically overlooked and unexamined in the existing literature on the Movement.
The book identifies how each civil rights group challenged poverty, violence, and discrimination differently from one another and describes how the federal government intentionally undermined civil rights organizations' efforts. It also shows how civil rights activists gravitated to political careers, explains the rising prominence of civil rights speakers to the Movement in the absence of political organizing by civil rights groups, and documents the Movement's influence upon Richard Nixon's presidency.

Внедрение нового алфавита на основе латинской графики на текущее время сопряжено со множеством социологических, экономических, лингвистических и других сопутствующих проблем. При этом необходимо учесть опыт прошлого, т.к. внедрение латинской графики в 1929 г. также было насыщен различными предшествующими событиями, в которых отражались множество противоречивых мнений и взглядов. Диахронический анализ реформ казахской письменности в период внедрения латиницы в предвоенные годы дает понять и выявить сильные и слабые стороны оппонентов, которые в своих выступлениях аргументированно выражали свои убеждения и взгляды. Их доводы в пользу того или иного мнения дает возможность более глубже осознать их точку зрения, причину их выбора той или иной позиций, уровень языковой компетенции.

The introduction of a new alphabet based on Latin graphics for the current time is associated with many sociological, economic, linguistic and other related problems. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the experience of the past, since the introduction of Latin graphics in 1929 was also saturated with various previous events, which reflected many contradictory opinions and views. The diachronic analysis of the reforms of the Kazakh script during the introduction of the Latin alphabet in the pre-war years makes it possible to understand and identify the strengths and weaknesses of opponents who in their speeches argumentatively expressed their beliefs and views. Their arguments in favor of one or another opinion makes it possible to more deeply understand their point of view, the reason for their choice of one or another position, the level of language competence. Keywords: diachronic excursion, Latin alphabet, Arabic graphics, sound system, general linguistics, Kazakh language knowledge.
A statistical–dynamical approach for probabilistic prediction of sub-seasonal precipitation anomalies over 17 hydroclimatic regions in China
Authors: Li Yuan , Xü Kangning , Wu Zhiyong , Zhu Zhiwei , Wang Quan J. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract. In this study, we develop a spatial–temporal projection-based calibration, bridging, and merging (STP-CBaM) method to improve probabilistic sub-seasonal precipitation forecast skill over 17 hydroclimatic regions in China. The calibration model is established by post-processing ECMWF raw forecasts using the Bayesian joint probability (BJP) approach. The bridging models are built using large-scale atmospheric intraseasonal predictors, including zonal wind at 200 hPa (U200) and 850 hPa (U850); an outgoing longwave radiation anomaly (OLRA); and geopotential height at 200 hPa (H200), 500 hPa (H500), and 850 hPa (H850) defined by the STP method. The calibration model and the bridging models are then merged through the Bayesian modelling averaging (BMA) method. Our results indicate that the forecast skill of the calibration model is higher compared to bridging models when the lead time is within 5–10 d. The U200- and OLRA-based bridging models outperform the calibration model in certain months and certain regions. The BMA-merged forecasts take advantage of both calibration models and bridging models. Meanwhile, the BMA-merged forecasts also show high reliability at longer lead times. However, some improvements to reliability are still needed at shorter lead times. These findings demonstrate the great potential to combine dynamical models and statistical models in improving sub-seasonal precipitation forecasts.
Capítulo 14. La construcción de una esfera pública europea a través de la colaboración y la innovación: A European Perspective, la redacción más grande de Europa
Authors: Rodríguez-Castro Marta , Arriaza-Ibarra Karen 
Published: November 2023

Uno de los retos intrínsecos a la Unión Europea es la construcción de una esfera pública europea que atajase su déficit democrático y contribuyese así a la legitimización del proyecto comunitario. Han sido numerosas las iniciativas mediáticas que han aportado su grano de arena a esta misión, como Euronews en la televisión o Euronet Plus en la radio, aunque su éxito ha sido moderado. En 2021, la Unión Europea de Radiodifusión (EBU, por sus iniciales en inglés) lanzaba A European Perspective, un proyecto colaborativo e innovador en el que las redacciones de los medios de comunicación públicos involucrados comparten y agregan noticias elaboradas por sus homólogos europeos. En este capítulo se detalla el funcionamiento de A European Perspective, una iniciativa que demuestra cómo a través de la innovación y de la colaboración se puede contribuir a la creación de valor público, al diseño de aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial dirigidas hacia el interés público y a la lucha contra la desinformación.
Calcitriol induced hypercalcemia - a rare phenomenon in lung cancer: A case report
Authors: Prakash Amulya , Khalid Farhan , Alalwan Ahmad , Bader Husam , Du Doantrang , Meghal Trishala 
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND
Calcitriol-induced hypercalcemia has been rarely reported in cases of lung cancer; however, it is frequently reported in cases of lymphoid malignancy and granulomatous disease. We present a rare case of hypercalcemia associated with squamous cell cancer of the lung with elevated calcitriol level.
CASE SUMMARY
A 61-year-old Caucasian female with severe hypercalcemia of 15 mg/dL, which led to a new diagnosis of metastatic lung cancer. Since the parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) level was minimally elevated at 2.1 pmol/L, we believe excessive calcitriol production by tumor cells was the underlying mechanism for hypercalcemia. Calcitriol was significantly elevated at 130 pg/mL with a low 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of 25.9 ng/mL and suppressed PTH level of 8 pg/mL. Corticosteroids are generally used to treat calcitriol-induced hypercalcemia, but we successfully treated our patient with bisphosphonate, highlighting the further utility of bisphosphonates in hypercalcemia treatment.
CONCLUSION
We believe that the underlying cause of hypercalcemia, in this case of metastatic squamous cell lung carcinoma, was elevated calcitriol, which was likely produced by the tumor cells. In addition to PTHrP, calcitriol levels should be included in the workup for hypercalcemia in cases of lung cancer. However, the pathophysiology and prognostic significance of dysregulated calcitriol production in solid tumors remain unclear and warrant further research. Bisphosphonate may be used as a steroid-sparing therapy even in cases of calcitriol-induced hypercalcemia and warrants further investigation.
Ambitious Self-Condemnation: The Fallen Woman in Novels by Stéphanie-Félicité De Genlis and Amelia Opie
Authors: Jensen Katharine Ann 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
In her 1804 La Duchesse de la Vallière, Genlis and Opie, in her 1805 Adeline Mowbray portray the fallen woman. In each novel, the heroine’s fall leads her to condemn herself in an exceptional way because this distinguishes her from women like her and isolates her from a world that would integrate her. In seeking to singularize themselves through their active, willful self-repudiation, la Vallière and Adeline reveal an ambitious wish to be publicly recognized as individuals. Yet by casting their heroines’ singularity in terms of self-castigation, Genlis and Opie portray female ambition in a paradoxical fashion.

Authors: Delela Fernanda Crestina Leitenski , Barbosa Débora Nice Ferrari 
Published: November 2023

Arbovirose é uma doença que constitui um dos principais problemas de saúde pública do mundo. A busca por soluções para esse agravo vem sendo estruturada principalmente na prevenção da picada e combate ao mosquito transmissor do vírus. As tecnologias de jogos digitais podem ser usadas para auxiliar no processo de educação em saúde para prevenção e enfrentamento da arbovirose com maior número de notificações no Brasil: a dengue. OBJETIVO: compreender, a partir de um mapeamento sistemático da literatura, como os jogos digitais podem ser utilizados como ferramenta para auxiliar o processo de educação em saúde no contexto das arboviroses. MÉTODOS: O mapeamento sistemático foi conduzido em seis bases de dados, incluindo artigos de junho de 2013 a junho de 2023. A busca inicial resultou em 5.104 artigos, dos quais 18 foram selecionados após a aplicação dos critérios de filtragem. RESULTADOS: Os resultados obtidos são: a maioria dos artigos (55,6%) teve escolares do ensino fundamental entre seu público alvo; a maioria (55,6%) dos jogos utilizam exclusivamente smartphone como dispositivo físico; a maioria (72,72%) dos jogos de smartphones estão disponíveis no sistema operacional android; a maioria (72,20%) dos jogos analisados estão relacionados especificamente com a dengue; apenas 1 artigo (7,6%) aborda prevenção e enfrentamento da doença; e 100% dos jogos aplicados são eficazes para a educação em saúde. Considerações finais: os resultados corroboram com a aplicação de jogos digitais para auxiliar no processo de ensino aprendizagem dos escolares na prevenção da dengue, bem como evidencia a oportunidade de pesquisas de jogos digitais para enfrentamento do agravo que pouco foram contempladas pelas tecnologias observadas.
Risk Factors Associated With Prolonged Opioid Use After Revision Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Authors: Abed Varag , Khalily Camille D. , Landy David C. , Lemaster Nicole G. , Stone Austin V. 
Published: November 2023

Introduction:
The purpose of this study was to determine which preoperative factors are associated with prolonged opioid use after revision total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).

Methods:
The M157Ortho PearlDiver database was used to identify patients undergoing revision TSA between 2010 and 2021. Opioid use for longer than 1 month after surgery was defined as prolonged opioid use. Postoperative opioid use from 1 to 3 months was independently assessed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between preoperative patient-related risk factors (age, Charlson Comorbidity Index, sex, depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, opioid use between 12 months to 1 week of surgery, tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, previous myocardial infarction, and chronic ischemic heart disease) with prolonged postoperative opioid use. Odds ratios (OR) and their associated 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for each risk factor.

Results:
A total 14,887 patients (mean age = 67.1 years) were included. Most of the patients were female (53.3%), and a large proportion were opioid familiar (44.1%). Three months after revision TSA, older age (OR = 0.96, CI 0.96 to 0.97) and male sex (OR = 0.90, CI 0.81 to 0.99) were associated with a decreased risk of prolonged postoperative opioid usage. Patients with preexisting depression (OR = 1.21, CI 1.08 to 1.35), substance use disorder (OR = 1.47, CI 1.29 to 1.68), opioid use (OR = 16.25, CI 14.27 to 18.57), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (OR = 1.24, CI 1.07 to 1.42) were at an increased risk of prolonged postoperative opioid use.

Discussion:
Older age and male sex were associated with a decreased risk of prolonged opioid use after revision TSA. Depression, substance use disorder, opioid familiarity, and COPD were associated with prolonged opioid use after revision TSA.
