Desestructuración y conflictividad social
Authors: Fonseca Ezequiel , Fiant Roxana , Puentes Hugo 
Published: February 2024

El presente trabajo aborda el valle de Catamarca (Provincia de Catamarca, Argentina), como una expresión material de un paisaje construido a través del tiempo, dando cuenta de una larga historia cultural. Nos concentramos en un periodo que inicia alrededor del 200 d.C. y se extiende hasta los momentos de la conquista española en el siglo XVI, situación que desestructuró el orden social de la población local, modificando su relación con el paisaje. Ejemplo de ello puede denotarse mediante el reconocimiento en el registro arqueológico del estilo cerámico Averías, propio de lo chaqueño asociado a materiales españoles que remiten a situaciones de traslados.
Buscamos producir una mirada desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar en los que Arqueología, Historia y Geografía Crítica estimulen la problematización dirigiendo la atención hacia los procesos de desestructuración y conflictividad social involucrados en el valle. Para ello realizamos un análisis de larga duración desde una escala local/regional vinculando la objetivación de la práctica social, práctica a su vez impresa en la cultura material como espacio vivido y habitado.
En este sentido se contemplan fuentes documentales, así como diversos estudios históricos afines, en articulación con los resultados obtenidos de nuestras excavaciones considerando la convergencia entre paisaje y región en cuanto espacio abierto, heterogéneo, y no exactamente coincidente con límites naturales y/o políticos.

Agnostic Tooling: A Modular Approach to Life of Field Tooling Needs
Authors: Narozanski Marcin , Yuill Lorna , Lewis Michael , Ferreira Joel 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This paper describes a novel approach to the design of subsea intervention tooling which aims to solve the problem Operators are often facing when their installed base comprises of different well types from various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This situation drives a higher number of tooling sets per OEM and well type, and critically with vessel-based interventions demands a larger footprint per well minimizing interventions per mobilization. Recognizing that despite different OEMs, there are common (or at least similar) mating features for tooling to interface, this new solution offers agnostic tool sets that seek to minimize the total number of tools needed for a campaign and optimize tooling design. This innovative approach to tooling design utilizes a customizable modular design, whereby tooling can be adapted to multiple well types and functionality targeted to specific operational requirements.
The methodology presented reduces the quantity of tools required, improves capability per vessel mobilization, and lowers CO2 emissions in manufacture, operations and through life management. By design, the agnostic tools are not limited by the original OEM specifications as they can be simplified and modularized resulting in an efficient and economically beneficial outcome. For example, one area of simplification is to use a standardized guiding and landing of the intervention tooling on the subsea equipment.
In addition, given the operational challenges when planning offshore campaigns on multiple wells, working with just one supplier of the intervention tooling package, allows for more flexibility where re-prioritizations or re-scheduling are required. One key area of success for this approach is in support of well decommissioning, a market which is forecast to grow to an average US$15 billion a year peaking in 2035 and is the subject of increasing regulation to comply with end-of-life plug-and-abandonment (P&A). A recent case study for a multi-OEM well P&A campaign in Brazil demonstrated the extent of the benefits outlined above; the modular design reducing the total number of tools from 62 to 23 and enabling a 12-month lead-time for the first tool delivery.
Installation of Resonance Sensitive Large Size Mudmat in Deep Water
Authors: Sinha R. K. , Shahyarfar S. , Wei C. L 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Installation analysis for subsea structures is performed to determine the allowable sea state for the entire operation. Usually, splash zone crossing analysis is given the highest importance, as this phase typically governs the largest forces on the system and overall sea state limitation. However, in certain conditions, subsea structures with high added mass may encounter resonance in deep water. Loads in the hoisting system can increase significantly when the system encounters resonance. The DNV recommended practice Modelling and analysis of marine operations (DNVGL-RP-N103, 2017) provide sufficient guidance on the effect of resonance; however, the resonance effect for deep-water installation operations is often overlooked and not checked thoroughly. This paper presents the importance and methodology for properly analyzing resonance effects. This paper also discusses a few techniques for improving the installation sea-state for various stages of operation and methodology for real-time vessel motion monitoring for decision-making offshore.

This study investigated the biology of <i>Sardinella</i> <i>aurita</i> (flat Sardinella) and <i>S.</i> <i>maderensis</i> (round Sardinella) at James Town in Ghana. A total of 40 round and flat Sardinella samples each were evaluated each month. The results showed significant difference between round and flat Sardinella with respect to intestinal weight (p=0.020), liver weight (p=0.002) and body weight (p=0.005). Intestinal weight of the round and flat Sardinella ranged from 86.5-113 g and 79-92 g respectively. Intestinal weight of round Sardinella was significantly higher than the flat Sardinella. Liver weight of flat Sardinella was significantly lower than the liver weight of round Sardinella. Mean intestinal content of round and flat Sardinella were 46.1±16.30 and 9.65±0.33 respectively. Relative gut mass for round Sardinella ranged between 0.022 and 0.120 whilst that of flat Sardinella ranged between 0.020 and 0.933. Relative gut length was similar for flat and round Sardinella. Mean Zhilers Index for flat and round Sardinella were 0.0752±0.004 and 0.091±0.005 respectively. Mean gonadosomatic index, Hepatosomatic index and Relative content mass recorded for flat Sardinella were 5.735±0.495, 0.346±0.034 and 0.006±0.000 respectively.

Published: February 2024

This paper commences with a scientific literature review of current research that underlines the environmental benefits to be gained from using smaller quantities of raw materials in the construction industry, with particular emphasis on a sustainable approach to façade design. Life cycle assessment modelling is advocated to validate the sustainability of building structures to achieve optimal solutions. A real-life application of the design of an aluminium façade bracket is presented, demonstrating that a weight reduction of up to 35-45% is attainable by exploiting the post-elastic properties of a material. The work described ranges from a discussion of the current conventional numerical techniques adopted by the industry to the most recent and advanced computational methods permitted by the introduction of Eurocode 9. This code facilitates a substantial enhancement in structural performance by incorporating an evaluation of the material's elastic-hardening behaviour and allows for a noteworthy reduction in component size and increased geometric design flexibility.
Philosophies of the Afterlife in the Early Italian Renaissance
Authors: Papiernik Joanna 
Published: February 2024

The immortality of the soul is one of the oldest tropes in the history of philosophy and one that gained significant momentum in 16th-century Europe. But what came before Pietro Pomponazzi and his contemporaries? Through examination of four neglected but central figures, Joanna Papiernik uncovers the rich and varied nature of the afterlife debate in 15th-century Italy.
By engaging with old prints, manuscripts and other archival material, this book reveals just how much interest there was in the question of immortality before the 16th-century boom in Aristotelian translations. In particular, Papiernik sheds light on the treatises of Agostino Dati, Leonardo Nogarola, Antonio degli Agli and Giovanni Canali, all of which have until now been overlooked in modern scholarship. From Dati’s critiques of ancient and existing positions to Agli’s study of immortality and its relation to the metaphysics of light, this volume investigates not only how wide-ranging the debate was but also the important impact it had on later philosophical thinking.
Deftly combining close reading with a broad intellectual survey, and including two editions of unpublished primary texts, The Philosophy of the Afterlife in the Italian Renaissance provides a crucial insight into the development of early Renaissance Platonism and philosophy of religion.
Peggy Webling and the Story behind Frankenstein
Authors: Webling Peggy 
Published: February 2024

The 1931 Universal Pictures film adaptation of Frankenstein directed by James Whale and starring Boris Karloff as the now iconic Monster claims in its credits to be ‘Adapted from the play by Peggy Webling’. Webling’s play sought to humanize the creature, was the first to position Frankenstein and his creation as doppelgängers, and offered a feminist perspective on scientific efforts to create life without women, ideas that suffuse today’s perceptions of Frankenstein’s monster. Buried in a private archive, scholars have never had access to the original play script and so could not fully chart the evolution of Frankenstein from book to stage to screen.
In Peggy Webling’s Frankenstein, Dorian Gieseler Greenbaum (Webling’s great grandniece) and Bruce Graver present the full texts of Webling’s unpublished play for the first time. A vital critical edition, this book includes:
- the 1928 Library of Congress version of the play Frankenstein with a short manuscript census
- the 1927 British Library version of the first production of the play in Preston, Lancashire
- the 1930 Prompt Script for the London production, held by the Westminster Archive, London
- Webling’s private correspondence including negotiations with theatres managers and Universal Pictures, family letters about the production process, and selected contracts
- Text of the chapter ‘Frankenstein’ from Webling’s unpublished literary memoir, The Story of a Pen for additional context
- Exposition on Webling’s life that bears directly on the sensibilities and skills she brought to the writing of her play
- History of how the play came to be written and produced
- The relationship of Webling’s play to earlier stage adaptations
- An exploration of playwright and screenwriter John L. Balderston’s changes to Webling’s play and how the 1931 film compares
How to Think Like a Philosopher
Authors: Cave Peter 
Published: February 2024

In showing how the great philosophers of human history lived and thought – and what they thought about – the popular philosopher Peter Cave provides an accessible and enjoyable introduction to thinking philosophically and how it can change our everyday lives. With a lightness of touch, he addresses questions such as: Is there anything ‘out there’ that gives meaning to our lives? Does reality tell us how we ought to live? What indeed is reality and what is appearance – and how can we tell the difference?
This book paints vivid portraits of an assortment of inspiring thinkers: from Lao Tzu to Avicenna to Iris Murdoch; from Hannah Arendt to Socrates and Plato to Karl Marx; from Kierkegaard and Nietzsche to Sartre to Samuel Beckett – and let us not forget Lewis Carroll for some thought-provoking fantasies and Ludwig Wittgenstein for the anguishes of a genius. As well as displaying optimists and pessimists, believers and non-believers, the book displays relevance to current affairs, from free speech to abortion to the treatment of animals to our leaders’ moral character.
In each brief chapter, Cave brings to life these often prescient, always compelling philosophical thinkers, showing how their ways of approaching the world grew out of their own lives and times and how we may make valuable use of their insights today. Now, more than ever, we need to understand how to live, and how to understand the world around us. This is the perfect guide.
The 100 Trillion Dollar Wealth Transfer
Authors: Costa Ken 
Published: February 2024

‘A valuable exploration of the topic and a thought-provoking read.’
Financial Times
An insider's look into how Generation Z's focus on ethics, climate change and purpose will change capitalism forever.
In the next ten years there will be an unprecedented wealth transfer from the so-called ‘baby boomer’ generation to the young. Never before will so much money – in housing, land, stocks and cash – be shifted so suddenly from one generation to the next, and never before does the next generation feel so differently about the future of the planet and of capitalism.
Ken Costa works with this new generation and shows how environmental concerns and anxiety about equality and diversity are more than mere slogans; instead they are driving the future of the markets. So many issues stem from the reality of the financial gap between age groups - from cancel culture and fears about wokeness, to generation rent, protest movements and re-evaluations of history around subjects such as empire. Costa also shows how we can build a more inclusive, purposeful capitalism, which shifts focus away from the individual and more towards collaboration, compassion and community.
For readers of Rebecca Henderson’s Reimagining Capitalism, and Rutger Bregman’s Utopia for Realists, as well as business leaders and tech watchers, this is what the future of capitalism looks like, how our current systems may be upended, and above all how boomers must work with the invigorating and inspiring young, who see their mission not just to increase value for shareholders, but also to save the planet.

There is a comforting illusion shared by historians and political commentators from Fukuyama back to Macaulay, Mill and Marx, that history progresses in a nice straight line towards liberal democracy or socialism, despite the odd hiccup.
In reality, every democracy, however sophisticated or stable it may look, has been attacked or actually destroyed by a would-be Caesar, from Ancient Greece to the present day. Marx was wrong. This Caesarism is not an absurd throwback, it is an ever-present danger.
There are Big Caesars who set out to achieve total social control and Little Caesars who merely want to run an agreeable kleptocracy without opposition: from Julius Caesar and Oliver Cromwell through Napoleon and Bolivar, to Mussolini, Salazar, De Gaulle and Trump. The saga of Boris Johnson and Brexit frequently crops up in this author's narrative as a vivid, if Lilliputian instance of the same phenomenon.
The final part of this book describes how and why would-be Caesars come to grief, from the Gunpowder Plot to Trump’s march on the Capitol and the ejection of Boris Johnson by his own MPs, and ends with a defence of the grubby glories of parliamentary politics and a thought-provoking roadmap of the way back to constitutional government.

‘The Tomb of the Mili Mongga lives up to its magnificent billing’ DAILY TELEGRAPH
-
A fossil expedition becomes a thrilling search for a mythical beast deep in the Indonesian forest – and a fascinating look at how fossils, folklore, and biodiversity converge.
A tale of exciting scientific discovery, The Tomb of the Mili Mongga tells the story of Samuel Turvey's expeditions to the island of Sumba in eastern Indonesia. While there, he discovers an entire recently extinct mammal fauna from the island’s fossil record, revealing how islands support some of the world’s most remarkable biodiversity, and why many of these unique endemic species are threatened with extinction or have already been lost.
But as the story unfolds, an unexpected narrative emerges – Sumba’s Indigenous communities tell of a mysterious wildman called the 'mili mongga', a giant yeti-like beast that supposedly lives in the island’s remote forests. What is behind the stories of the mili mongga? Is there a link between this enigmatic entity and the fossils that Sam is looking for? And what did he discover when he finally found the tomb of a mili mongga?
Combining evolution, anthropology, travel writing and cryptozoology, The Tomb of the Mili Mongga explores the relationship between biodiversity and culture, what reality means from different cultural perspectives, and how folklore, fossils and conservation can be linked together in surprising ways.

The ‘Grossdeutschland’ Division in World War II
Authors: Slaughter James F. 
Published: February 2024

Investigates the history and evolving appearance of the ‘Grossdeutschland’ Division, the German Army’s premier combat unit during World War II.
Featuring eight pages of original artwork and carefully chosen photographs depicting personalities, uniforms, insignia and personal equipment, this is the absorbing story of the German Army’s elite ‘fire brigade’ during 1939–45. The unit began its life as an elite guard detachment; expanded to regimental size in 1939, it saw action in France in 1940 and Yugoslavia in 1941 before participating in the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union.
Reinforced to divisional status, ‘Grossdeutschland’ fought on the Eastern Front in 1942–44, notably at Rzhev in late 1942 and Kharkov in early 1943. Refitted and redesignated a Panzergrenadier-Division, ‘Grossdeutschland’ played a key role in the battle of Kursk in July 1943, before acting as the Wehrmacht’s ‘fire brigade’ in 1943–44.
In late 1944, ‘Grossdeutschland’ was expanded to Panzerkorps status, with Panzergrenadier-Division ‘Brandenburg’ also taking the field. Further units joined the order of battle, the Führerbegleit-Brigade fighting in the Ardennes in 1944–45 before also being redesignated a division. All of these campaigns are covered in this book, which charts the evolving appearance of this elite formation over nearly six years of brutal warfare.
Philippines Naval Campaign 1944–45
Authors: Stille Mark 
Published: February 2024

The forgotten story of the major naval operations conducted in the Philippines by the US and Japanese navies after Leyte Gulf up to the US invasion of Luzon in January 1945.
The events that took place in the aftermath of the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944 are often overlooked by military historians. An impressive array of naval operations continued in the Philippines up to January 1945, which included (on the Japanese side) the largest convoys to a contested island during the war, the first kamikaze campaign, and the second largest Imperial Japanese Navy surface operation during the last nine months of the conflict. On the American side, US forces were involved in efforts to cut off Leyte from enemy reinforcement, a massive amphibious invasion off Luzon, and large-scale operations by the Fast Carrier Task Force (TF 38).
Expert naval historian Mark Stille throws new light on this often forgotten phase of the Pacific naval war. Among the actions covered are the battles for Ormoc Bay, the invasion of Mindoro, Japanese kamikaze attacks, and US Third Fleet's rampage through the South China Sea between January 10 and 20, 1945. Superb battlescene artworks bring the war at sea and in the air vividly to life, and maps and diagrams guide readers through a range of actions in clear, step-by-step detail.
