Bilingüismo como factor de protección y sus beneficios cognitivos en adultos bilingües español-inglés de 45 y 59 años en el área de California y Guatemala
Authors: Archila Puac Jorge Luis 
Published: January 2024

PROBLEMA: por décadas se ha hablado de los efectos positivos que pueden derivar del hecho de hablar dos o más lenguas. Hallazgos recientes dan fe que el bilingüismo afecta positivamente el desarrollo del cerebro, lo que contribuye a retrasar los efectos de las enfermedades neurodegenerativas en 4 a 6 años. OBJETIVO: analizar los mecanismos neurocognitivos que respaldan la influencia positiva del bilingüismo en la salud cerebral y su efecto protector en la prevención de enfermedades neurodegenerativas. MÉTODO: esta investigación es de tipo transversal y descriptiva con enfoque analítico, considerando base bibliográfica y una muestra de 84 adultos. RESULTADOS: a través de un cuestionario se midió el nivel de aculturación de los participantes, resultados que evidenciaron que los habitantes de Guatemala son menos aculturados que los residentes en California. Los californianos mostraron un bilingüismo más dinámico. Los resultados del MoCA fueron consistentes con la literatura consultada. El bilingüismo afecta la fisiología del cerebro, mejorando los niveles de concentración de materia gris, confiriendo así beneficios cognitivos retrasando de esa forma la posibilidad de desarrollar enfermedades neurodegenerativas. CONCLUSIÓN: más del 90% de los participantes obtuvo ≥28 puntos en el MoCA, evidenciando que el bilingüismo, al igual que la experiencia de vida, contribuye con la reserva cognitiva y se convierte en un aliado en la lucha contra las enfermedades neurodegenerativas, al retrasar los síntomas de éstas.

Blake’s Hervey, Thomas Butts, and Methodism
Authors: Read Dennis M. 
Published: January 2024

William Blake’s painting Epitome of James Hervey’s “Meditations among the Tombs” is not an illustration of the work. In it he veers markedly from the dour tone and sensational emotions used by Hervey during his tour of graves, replacing the emphasis on the uncertainty of life and fear of death with a respectful treatment of Hervey himself. Blake doesn’t take liberties with the text so much as he finds a prevailing message of love and forgiveness in Hervey’s words. There is agreement in the life-beyond-life visions of Hervey and Blake, but Blake’s spin is more mystical and ethereal.
Comparison between 2d transthoracic echocardiography, 3d transthoracic/ transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography for tricuspid annulus assessment in patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation
Authors: Nguyen Thi Thu Hoai , Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy , Pham Manh Hung 
Published: January 2024

Background: Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with high mortality rate. Tricuspid valve imaging is often challenging and requires the use of multiple modalities.
Understanding discrepancies and agreement among different imaging techniques is crucial for planning transcatheter valve interventions.
Aims: Comparison between two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, three-dimensional transthoracic/ transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography for comprehensive tricuspid annulus (TA) assessment in severe TR patients.
Patients and Methods: From 08/2019 to 09/2020, forty patients with severe TR were included in this study. TA measurements were made at end diastole using two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), three-dimensional (3D) TTE direct planimetry and transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) direct planimetry. Both methods were compared with multi-detector computed tomographic (MDCT) planimetry.
Results: TA diameters measured with 2D TTE were smaller compared with direct MDCT measurements (40.5 ± 7.2 mm vs 43.3 ± 13.5 mm, p<0.05 on 4-chamber view, và 32.6 ± 7.4mm vs 38.0 ± 12.4mm, p<0.05 on short-axis view). There was no significant difference between TA diameters measured with 3D TTE/ 3D TEE and MDCT measurements (42,8 ± 7,1 mm / 43,6 ± 7,4mm vs 43,3 ± 13,5 mm, p>0,05 on 4-chamber view and 35,7 ± 6,1 mm /39,1 ± 7,6 mm vs 38,0 ± 12,4 mm, p > 0,05 on short-axis view). TA circumferences on 3D TTE and 3D TEE strongly correlated to TA circumference on MDCT (r=0,62, p<0,05 và r=0,54, p<0,05, respectively). TA areas on 3D TTE and 3D TEE very strongly correlated to TA area on MDCT (r = 0,87, p < 0,05 và r = 0,89, p < 0,05, respectively).
Conclusions: Tricuspid annular size measured with 3D TTE and 3D TEE strongly correlated to tricuspid annular measurements on MDCT.

This volume examines a multitude of characters in Matthew’s gospel and provides an in-depth look at the different approaches currently employed by scholars working with literary and reader-oriented methods.
Beginning with an introduction on ‘the properties of character’ and the several aspects involved in the creation of person, the contributors provide a close reading of numerous characters and character types in the Gospel of Matthew. Including Mary, King Herod, John the Baptist, Jesus the Preacher, Jesus the Teacher, God the Father, the Roman Centurion, Peter, Women, Gentiles, Scribes and Pharisees, and Romans. Such close studies aid the understanding of different issues in Matthean characterization, while also charting the development of hermeneutical vistas that have developed in contemporary scholarship, resulting in a collection of exegetical character studies that are self-consciously working from a literary, narrative-critical, reader-oriented, or related methodology.
The Consciousness of the Historical Jesus
Authors: Stevenson Austin 
Published: January 2024

In this book, Austin Stevenson argues that it is not the 'divinity' of Jesus that causes problems for historians, but his humanity. To insist that Jesus was fully human, as both theologians and historians do, still leaves us with the question of what it means to be human. It turns out that theologians and historians often have different answers to this question on both a philosophical and a theological register.
Furthermore, historians frequently misunderstand the historiographical implications of classical Christology, and thus the compatibility between traditional beliefs about Jesus and critical historical inquiry. Through close engagement with the thought of Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–74), this book offers a new path toward the reconciliation of these disciplines by focusing on human knowledge and subjectivity, which are central issues in both historical method and Christology. By interrogating and challenging the normative metaphysical assumptions operative in Jesus scholarship, a range of possibility is opened up for approaches to Jesus that are genuinely historical, but not naturalistic.
Power Couple
Authors: Tazmini Ghoncheh 
Published: January 2024

Russia and Iran often clash on the regional stage. Yet, their partnership endures and their power in the Middle East is growing. What is the basis of the Moscow-Tehran relationship? What are the ambitions of these states in the region? Do Moscow and Tehran have an ‘alliance’, ‘alignment’ or a ‘coalition’?
This book assesses how Moscow and Tehran have built their strategic partnership. Ghoncheh Tazmini argues for a Russia-Iran ‘alignment’, which is based on their shared narratives of the international order. She shows that to counteract US unilateralism, and with both states feeling internationally isolated, the Kremlin needs Tehran as much as Tehran needs the Kremlin. Yet it is well known that these states’ conflicting agendas and asymmetries create areas of tension especially concerning divergent interests in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and the GCC.
Based on primary Persian sources and interviews with stakeholders, Tazmini explains why Moscow-Tehran relations are a lot more durable than many in the West and the Middle East may believe. Given the US’s decision to narrow its scope of engagement in the Middle East, and new security concerns posed by Russia as key actor in the region, this analysis will be vital for assessing the implications of the Moscow-Tehran alignment.
Environmental Ethics
Authors: Hourdequin Marion 
Published: January 2024

What is environmental virtue? Is developing good habits enough? Would a limit on per capita emissions be fair? Is rewilding just another form of the human domination of nature?
Exploring these questions and more, this book provides an up-to-date and balanced introduction to the field. It first examines ethical theory, then ties theory into practice, showing how ethics guide environmental policies, but also how actions shape environmental values. Updated and expanded to engage with the latest scholarship, scientific discoveries, and societal challenges, this 2nd edition features:
• New sections on food ethics, climate change denial, climate activism, and the Anthropocene
• Contemporary case studies including lab-grown meat, Extinction Rebellion, and European rewilding
• Expanded coverage of non-Western ethics, including Indigenous ethical perspectives and African relational ethics
• Updated discussion questions, further reading sections, and online resources
Exploring the possibilities and limitations inherent in both classical ethical models and modern theoretical approaches to the environment, this is a key resource for teaching students to think ethically about the world we live in.
Why Human Nature Matters
Authors: Mameli Matteo 
Published: January 2024

Does human nature constrain social and political change? Or do social and political changes transform human nature? Why Human Nature Matters argues that instead of being mutually exclusive, the answer to both questions is yes! This philosophical account of human nature explores the relation between biology and politic, explaining clearly what is at stake in issues from climate change to the social and political consequences of the technological revolution.
Appeals to human nature are often used in support of a politics of exclusion. The biological study of human beings has been put to the service of racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of oppression. By demolishing these existential biases and building on advancements in biological theory, this book explores the philosophical significance of those developments and offers new conceptual tools for linking a biological understanding of humanity to a politics of inclusion and freedom.
HoneyVoiced
Authors: Wells James Bradley 
Published: January 2024

This new translation of Pindar’s songs for victorious athletes marries philological rigour with poetic sensibility in order to represent the beauty of his language for a modern audience as closely as possible. Pindar’s poetry is synonymous with difficulty for scholars and students of classical studies. His syntax stretches the limits of ancient Greek, while his allusions to mythology and other poetic texts assume an audience that knows more than we now possibly can, given the fragmentary nature of textual and material culture records for ancient Greece.
It includes an authoritative introduction, both to the poet and his art and to ancient athletics, alongside brief orientations to the historical context and mythological content of each victory song. The inclusion of a glossary supplies additional mythological and historical information necessary to understanding Pindar’s poetry for those coming to the works for the first time. His is the largest body of textual remains that exists for ancient Greece between Homer (conventionally dated to 750 BCE) and the Classical Period (480–;323 BCE), and constitutes a rich resource for politics, history, religion, and social practices.
Disadvantage
Authors: Lampert Jo , Kaukko Mervi , Wilkinson Jane , García-Carrión Rocío 
Published: January 2024

Recognition of disadvantage is seen as crucial in preparing socially just teachers who can recognize and address inequities, and this engaging guide provides innovative strategies to reflect on disadvantage. Coupled with its discursive partners, inclusion and diversity, trainee teachers are asked to engage with theories of disadvantage, and advised to recognize, support and lead change for students who historically experience high levels of exclusion and marginalization. But what does disadvantaged mean?
In this book, the authors draw together international perspectives to explore the subtle and complex differences produced by the keyword disadvantage in different geo-political contexts, and look at the political, historical, social, and cultural significance of the word. They showcase narratives from the subjects of disadvantage, including indigenous perspectives. They include standpoints from immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees and consider the intersectional nature of disadvantage, for instance, the experiences of LGBTQI+ groups who are living in poverty.
Oil, Nationalism and British Policy in Iran
Authors: Taylor Jack 
Published: January 2024

This book explores British policy in Iran against a backdrop of decolonisation to demonstrate the central place this nation had in Britain’s postwar imperial reorientation. Focusing on the period leading up to Operation Ajax and using a wealth of primary sources, it shows that although Iran was not part of Britain’s ‘rose coloured map’, it was a key part of the informal empire; an imperial network sustained through economic and corporate influence. Both a critical bulwark against Soviet expansion and a vital source of oil, successive British governments sought to enhance British power in Iran during and after the Second World War. Highlighting the different forms and textures of British imperialism in the mid-20th century, Jack Taylor shows how as empire was coming to an end in regions such as India and Palestine, imperial interests were reoriented towards other, more profitable areas in the Middle East.
However, this book shows that as the British sought to entrench themselves more firmly in Iran, resentment was on the rise in the form of populist nationalism. Demonstrating how British policy makers failed to understand these movements, Oil, Nationalism and British Policy in Iran shows how the US government intervened to restore Iranian autocracy. In doing so, the US supplanted Britain as the foremost power in the Persian Gulf and brought half a century of informal empire to a close.
Hormonal Theory
Authors: Raeder Lisa , Roberts Celia 
Published: January 2024

From angiotensin to cortisol, testosterone to xenoestrogens, and dopamine to endocrine disruptors, hormones are everywhere. These chemical entities are foundational to biological life and shape social, cultural, and political forces, while simultaneously being shaped by them. Hormones are increasingly central not only to medical and other body-shaping practices and contemporary science, but also environmentally-oriented conversations. Throughout Hormonal Theory, authors trace how biomedical, social, political, and experiential forces entangle to produce hormones as we know them today. It illuminates how hormones emerge and exist as complex entities that permeate every sphere of our lives.
Each glossary entry takes a particular hormonal compound as its starting point, yet works to elaborate and complicate understandings of hormones as distinct biological or chemical entities. The entries collectively show how hormones never operate in isolation from other hormones, nor bodies in isolation from other human and non-human bodies and their socio-ecological surroundings. Indeed, they “cascade” into one another. This volume, then, is not simply a qualitatively-rich companion to medical knowledge about hormones, but a challenge to the conceptual underpinnings of current dominant understandings of disease, wellness, and normalcy.
Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain
Authors: Nightingale Eithne 
Published: January 2024

All across the globe people flee their homes in search of safety; in particular, we know that children move in great numbers. This book spotlights the experiences of these child refugees in modern British history for the first time.
From Somalia and Syria to East London and the Isle of Bute, this book charts the experiences of children who migrated to Britain, sometimes accompanied by loved ones and other times completely alone, from 1930 to the present day. It explores their motivations, trials and achievements, and provides critical insight into how the British – both on an individual and collective level – have welcomed and shunned vulnerable refugees over the years. Most importantly, Eithne Nightingale links these rich stories of child migration from history with contemporary issues such as Britain’s Nationality and Borders Bill, Brexit and the European refugee crisis, making it vital reading for both historians of modern Britain and scholars of migration and human rights more broadly.
Expertly situated in its historical and political context, Child Migrant Voices in Modern Britain is a carefully-curated and urgently-needed collection of oral histories from child refugees who arrived in Britain over the last 100 years.
