EFFECTIVENESS OF POTASSIUM CHLORIDE IN LONG-TERM APPLICATION IN GRAIN-FALLOW CROP ROTATION ON SODDY-MEDIUM-PODZOLIC MEDIUM-LOAMY SOIL
Authors: Бортник Т.Ю. , Карпова А.Ю. 
Published: January 2024

Изложены обобщенные данные исследований в длительном полевом опыте с удобрениями, который был заложен в 1979 г. на дерново-среднеподзолистой среднесуглинистой почве. Рассмотрена эффективность применения хлористого калия по отношению к разным фонам; средние ежегодные дозы элементов питания за 1979–2023 гг. составили N56Р53К54. В среднем в год от внесения хлористого калия на фоне NР получено увеличение урожайности: викоовсяной смеси – на 22,7 %, озимых зерновых – 20,9 %, картофеля – 24,6 %, кормовой свеклы – 10,2 %, ячменя – 10,3 %. Средняя продуктивность зернопаропропашного севооборота в год под влиянием длительного использования хлористого калия увеличилась на 0,59 т з.е./га, или 14,8 % по отношению к фону азотно-фосфорного удобрения. Выявлено положительное действие хлористого калия на некоторые показатели качества растениеводческой продукции. Систематическое использование хлористого калия в средней дозе 54 кг д.в./га в течение более чем 40 лет не способствовало существенному накоплению содержания подвижного калия в дерново-среднеподзолистой среднесуглинистой почве по сравнению с исходным состоянием в 1979 г.; обеспеченность почвы этим элементом в 2022 г. низкая. При этом формируется отрицательный или нулевой баланс калия в почве в связи с высоким выносом его с урожаем сельскохозяйственных культур.
The article summarizes the research data from a long-term field experiment with fertilizers, which was started in 1979 on soddy-medium-podzolic medium-loamy soil. The effectiveness of the potassium chloride application in relation to different fertilizers background is considered; average doses for 1979–2023 amounted to N56Р53К54. On average per year, the addition of potassium chloride against the background of NP increased the yield of: vetch-oat mixture – by 22.7 %; winter grains – by 20.9 %; potatoes – by 24.6 %; fodder beet – by 10.2 %; barley – by 10.3 %. The average productivity of grain-fallow crop rotation per year under the influence of long-term use of potassium chloride increased by 0.59 tons grain units/ha or 14.8 % relative to the nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer application. A positive effect of potassium chloride on some indicators of the quality of crop products has been revealed. The systematic application of potassium chloride at an average dose of 54 kg of active substance/ha for more than 40 years didn’t contribute to a significant accumulation of the available potassium content in the soddy-medium-podzolic medium-loamy soil compared to the initial state in 1979; the soil supply with this element was low in 2022. In this case, a negative or zero balance of potassium in the soil is formed due to its high removal from crop yields.

200 Themes for Devising Theatre with 11–18 Year Olds
Authors: Hanlan Jason 
Published: January 2024

A unique resource for drama teachers providing 200 stimuli and age-appropriate individual topics within those to help inspire and guide young people in devising performance. It contains useful information on devising techniques, workshops, schemes and lesson ideas for introducing devising and guidance on how to analyse the work and give feedback.
Following on from his successful book 200 Plays for GCSE and A-Level Performance, author Jason Hanlan has once again solved one of drama teachers’ most frequently encountered problems: how to unlock the best devised performance with their students.
Devising as a group requires a level of collaboration, which – without a strong framework – often descends into wild flights of fancy and a myriad of dead ends. Excellent ideas can be lost or diluted in an often-awkward attempt to tie it all together to fit a narrative.
The main body of this book is a unique numbered listing of 200 stimuli, designed to both inspire and focus the mind, with an example of a possible topic and ‘ways in’ that would be suitable for each level:
“Civil rights”> “Votes for women” (11–14 year olds)> “Rosa Parks” (14-16 year olds)> “The Disappeared” (16–18 year olds)
Each stimuli is given its own page dedicated to exploring its possibilities as a piece of devised theatre for different age groups, and offering suggestions for plays, films and books to look at; artefacts and images to examine; ideas to consider; and further research you can draw on.
Multisensory Shakespeare and Specialized Communities
Authors: Cavanagh Sheila T. 
Published: January 2024

How can theatre and Shakespearean performance be used with different communities to assist personal growth and development, while advancing social justice goals?
Employing an integrative approach that draws from science, actor training, therapeutical practices and current research on the senses, this study reveals the work being done by drama practitioners with a range of specialized populations, such as incarcerated people, neurodiverse individuals, those with physical or emotional disabilities, veterans, people experiencing homelessness and many others. With insights drawn from visits to numerous international programs, it argues that these endeavors succeed when they engage multiple human senses and incorporate kinesthetic learning, thereby tapping into the diverse benefits associated with artistic, movement and mindfulness practices.
Neither theatre nor Shakespeare is universally beneficial, but the syncretic practices described in this book offer tools for physical, emotional and collaborative undertakings that assist personal growth and development, while advancing social justice goals. Among the practitioners and companies whose work is examined here are programs from the Shakespeare in Prison Network, the International Opera Theater, Blue Apple Theatre, Flute Theatre, DeCruit and Feast of Crispian programs for veterans, Extant Theatre and prison programs in Kolkata and Mysore, India

A History of Bread
Authors: Scholliers Peter 
Published: January 2024

For a long time, everything revolved around bread. Providing more than half of people’s daily calories, bread was the life-source of Europe for centuries. In the middle of 19th century, a third of household expenditure was spent on bread. Why, then, does it only account for 0.8% of expenditure and just 12% of daily calories today?
In this book, Peter Scholliers delves into the history of bread to map out its defining moments and people. From the price revolution of the 1890s that led to affordable and pure white bread, to the taste revolution of the 1990s that ushered in healthy brown bread, he studies consumers, bakers and governments to explain how and why this food that once powered an entire continent has fallen by the wayside, and what this means for the modern age.
From prices and consumption to legislation and technology, Scholliers shows how the history of bread has been shaped by subtle cultural shifts as well as top-down decisions from ruling bodies. From the small home baker to booming factories, he follows changes in agriculture, transport, production and policy since the 19th century to explain why bread, once the centre of everything, is not so today.
The Civilian-Military Divide
Authors: Stanton Louise 
Published: January 2024

This book examines how U.S. domestic institutions stand up to global threats and whether intelligence sharing across military and civilian law enforcement barriers is legal.
The U.S. Constitution is designed to distribute power in order to prevent its concentration, and in particular, it draws clear lines between the responsibilities of the military and those of civilian law enforcement. But the new global threat paradigm, requiring responses both abroad and at home, calls out for military and civilian intelligence gathering to work in tandem. The Civil-Military Divide: Obstacles to the Integration of Intelligence in the United States looks at historic and legal ramifications of such efforts.
Louise Stanton's thought-provoking work sums up the current state of U.S. intelligence gathering at all levels of government. It then looks at the range of recommendations for overhauling our intelligence efforts in the context of the U.S. Constitution to assess what may or may not be constitutionally supportable. At issue are three long-established, often reaffirmed principles: the separation of powers, the federalist system that gives the U.S. government precedence over states, and the separation of the civilian and military sectors.
Emerging Military Technologies
Authors: Wong Wilson W.S. 
Published: January 2024

This book examines emerging defense technologies such as directed energy weapons, nanotech devices, and bioscience applications that have the potential to dominate international relations in the future, just as nuclear weapons and space infrastructure-assisted conventional weapons do now.
Emerging Military Technologies: A Guide to the Issues examines the potential of the United States to bring new technologies to deployment in the service of America's security and defense. The work also discusses how other international actors may regard the United States' investment in these high-tech capabilities, identifying possible resultant counter actions, and presents several divergent viewpoints on what the future may bring.
The book thoroughly explores three general categories of emerging technologies: autonomous computers, nanotechnology and biotechnology, and the interrelated topics of directed energy weapons and ubiquitous space access. Security studies expert Wilson W.S. Wong balances coverage of today's cutting-edge science and engineering with treatment of real-world concerns of effectiveness, military ethics, and international relations in the 21st century. An invaluable resource for members of the military and intelligence communities, this book also provides general readers with an accessible introduction to these highly technical topics.
Faith, Humor, and Paradox
Authors: Götz Ignacio L. 
Published: January 2024

Götz proposes that there is no opposition between faith and humor, belief and laughter. To argue this point, he shows how both the structure of faith and that of humor are the same, and this structure is paradox. Paradox, which is well known in the secular realms of mathematics and philosophy, is explored, first, in detail, and then he shows how faith and humor, both, are paradoxical in nature. The result is that there is no real opposition between faith and humor. The tragic and the comic are sisters, as Aristotle saw in antiquity.
On the other side,Götz shows what happens when faith and humor depart from paradox: faith becomes dogmatic and fanatical, and humor becomes superficial and banal. Fanatical faith latches onto beliefs and dogmas rather than to the openness of paradox, and so it leads to terrorism against those who hold onto different beliefs. Götz also warns against an easy embrace of tolerance as the only alternative to fanaticism, because tolerance itself is imperfect and is often forced to accept evil. It should not, Götz argues, be the sole solution inculcated in our schools. This is a thoughtful and provocative analysis that will be of interest to the general reader as well as scholars and students interested in the place of religion in contemporary society.

Half-Hearted Reform
Authors: King Dwight 
Published: January 2024

King provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of the reforms in the core institutions of democratic representation, political parties, elections, and legislatures that led the way from late 1998 through 2001. These reforms are placed in historical perspective, compared both with the electoral institutions of Suharto's New Order and with the first democratic election in 1955. King also examines the political struggles during the legislative process and identifies the compromises reached between hardliners and reformers. The new electoral policies are juxtaposed to actual practices—imlpementation—during the 1999 election at both the national and subnational levels, the latter through a case study in the heartland of Java.
The bases of voters' choice—election results—are explained using multivariate analysis. A key finding is that social-based voting has remained stronger than expected. King's analysis then considers the postelection, second wave of electoral reform that focused on the Electoral Commission and amendments to the Constitution. Lastly, King compares Indonesia's political reforms with those of the Philippines and Thailand. In sum, this book is indispensable to understanding the extent of Indonesia's political reforms, why the installation of electoral democracy succeeded, and the prospects for the consolidation of democracy. Of particular interst to scholars, students, and other researchers interested in political transitions in general and in Southeast Asia in particular.
A Hallucinogenic Tea, Laced with Controversy
Authors: Rios Marlene Dobkin de , Rumrrill Roger 
Published: January 2024

One country's sacrament is another's illicit drug, as officials in South America and the United States are well aware. For centuries, a hallucinogenic tea made from a giant vine native to the Amazonian rainforest has been taken as a religious sacrament across several cultures in South America. Many spiritual leaders, shamans, and their followers consider the tea and its main component - ayahuasca - to be both enlightening and healing. In fact, ayahuasca (pronounced a-ja-was-ka) loosely translated means spirit vine. In this book, de Rios and Rumrrill take us inside the history and realm of, as well as the raging arguments about, the substance that seems a sacrament to some and a scourge to others. Their book includes text from the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances and interviews with shamans in the Amazon.
One country's sacrament is another's illicit drug, as officials in South America and the United States are well aware. For centuries, a hallucinogenic tea made from a giant vine native to the Amazonian rainforest has been taken as a religious sacrament across several cultures in South America. Many spiritual leaders, shamans, and their followers consider the tea and its main component - ayahuasca - to be both enlightening and healing. In fact, ayahuasca (pronounced a-ja-was-ka) loosely translated means spirit vine. Ayahuasca has moved into the United States, causing legal battles in the Supreme Court and rulings from the United Nations. Some U.S. church groups are using the hallucinogen in their ceremonies and have fought for government approval to do so. The sacrament has also drawn American drug tourists to South America to partake, say authors de Rios and Rumrrill. But they warn that these tourists are being put at risk by charlatans who are not true shamans or religious figures, just profiteers.
In this book, de Rios and Rumrrill take us inside the history and realm of, as well as the raging arguments about, the substance that seems a sacrament to some and a scourge to others. Opponents fight its use even as U.S. scientists and psychologists continue investigations of whether ayahuasca has healing properties that might be put to conventional use for physical and mental health. This book includes text from the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances and interviews with shamans in the Amazon.
The Hidden Web
Authors: Scheeren William O. 
Published: January 2024

Google is certainly a useful Internet search tool for general topics, but most of the information available on the Invisible Web can't be found through Google. This book explains the value of the Invisible Web and how to access it.
Most students and researchers possess only rudimentary Internet searching skills. The majority of school and public librarians are not aware of the breadth and depth of information available on the Hidden Web. This is unfortunate, as the ability to navigate the Hidden Web in schools and public libraries is essential to locating the most current and authoritative information.
The Hidden Web: A Sourcebook serves as a valuable source of information about the Hidden Web, much of which comprises websites containing statistical information or data from a wide variety of government agencies. The concepts, search techniques, and specific websites presented will be helpful in information literacy instruction and the teaching of research skills.
