The Euthanasia/Assisted-Suicide Debate
Authors: Pappas Demetra M. 
Published: October 2023

This revealing volume explores recent historical perspectives on the modern euthanasia and assisted-suicide debate and the political arenas in which it has unfolded.
Emotional public responses to widely publicized right-to-die and euthanasia cases, such as those revolving around Dr. Jack Kevorkian and Terri Schiavo, highlight their volatile mix of medical, ethical, religious, legal, and public policy issues. The Euthanasia/Assisted-Suicide Debate explores how this debate has evolved over the past 100 years as judicial approaches, legislative responses, and prosecutorial practices have shifted as a result of changes in medical technology and consumer sophistication.
Emphasizing the period from the 1950s forward, the book offers an unbiased examination of the origins of the modern medical euthanasia and assisted-suicide debates, the involvement of physicians, the history and significance of medical technology and practice, and the role of patients and their families in the ongoing controversy. This illuminating exploration of concepts, issues, and players will help readers understand both sides of the debate as viewed by participants.
Food in the United States, 1890-1945
Authors: Elias Megan J. 
Published: October 2023

“No American history or food collection is complete without this lively insight into the radical changes in daily life from the Gilded Age to World War II, as reflected in foodways
From the Gilded Age to the end of World War II, what, where, when, and how Americans ate all changed radically. Migration to urban areas took people away from their personal connection to food sources. Immigration, primarily from Europe, and political influence of the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Pacific brought us new ingredients, cuisines, and foodways. Technological breakthroughs engendered the widespread availability of refrigeration, as well as faster cooking times. The invention of the automobile augured the introduction of ““road food,”” and the growth of commercial transportation meant that a wider assortment of foods was available year round. Major food crises occurred during the Depression and two world wars.
Food in the United States, 1890-1945 documents these changes, taking students and general readers through the period to explain what our foodways say about our society. This intriguing narrative is enlivened with numerous period anecdotes that bring America history alive through food history.”

The New Global Insecurity
Authors: Moghaddam Fathali M. 
Published: October 2023

A noted conflict expert shows how accelerating globalization is causing dangerous global insecurity that must be met by new security models and policies.
The New Global Insecurity: How Terrorism, Environmental Collapse, Economic Inequalities, and Resource Shortages Are Changing Our World explores insecurity arising out of accelerating globalization. In this unique and forward-thinking work, psychologist Fathali M. Moghaddam, director of the Conflict Studies Program at Georgetown University, explains how and why worldwide insecurity is rising and what steps we must take to quell or reverse that insecurity to make the future of the world more peaceful.
The book first analyzes the elements and roots of global insecurity, discussing it in relation to terrorism, torture, economic instability, threatened identity, and religious fundamentalism. It then puts forward a new model for understanding security, wherein "soft security capital" serves as the enabling condition for "hard security capital." Finally, the current policies for managing diversity, "multiculturalism" and "assimilation" are both rejected in favor of an exciting new policy—"omniculturalism". Drawing on his years of study and expertise, Moghaddam likewise proposes a new policy for better managing intergroup relations in an insecure age.

The book also looks at darker moments, including the sex tape, her jail time, and her publicity faux pas. In the end, readers will understand what makes this complex young woman tick–and have a better sense of what it is like to walk a mile in her Manolo Blahniks.
Analyzed by Lacan
Authors: Milan Betty 
Published: October 2023

Analyzed by Lacan brings together the first English translations of Betty Milan's testimony of her analysis with Lacan in the 1970s, the play, Goodbye Doctor, inspired by her experience, an Introduction by Milan to both works, and a new interview with her about her writing and Lacan.
Milan's firsthand account of her analysis, Why Lacan, provides a unique and valuable perspective on how Lacan worked and his approach to psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theory. Milan's memoir shows that Lacan’s way of working was based on the idea that the traditional method of interpreting provoked resistance.
Before writing the testimony, Milan wrote a play, Goodbye Doctor, based on her experience as Lacan's patient. The play is structured around the sessions of Seriema with the Doctor. Through the analysis, Seriema discovers why she cannot give birth, namely, an unconscious desire to satisfy the will of her father who didn’t authorize her to conceive. She ceases to be the victim of her unconscious, grasps the possibility of choosing a father for her child and thus becoming a mother. Goodbye Doctor has been adapted into a film, Adieu Lacan, by the director Richard Ledes.
Analyzed by Lacan includes a new Introduction to both texts by Milan, an interview with Milan, and letters she received from Lacan.

Published: October 2023

Background and Objectives: Urine protein examination is a routine examination performed to determine kidney function. The principle of urine protein examination is that the protein in urine is denatured by heating and adding acid. Lemon fruit has a high acid content and lemon has similar properties to acetic acid, namely properties as a weak acid with a pH of 3.0. The direction of this research is to understand the comparison of urine protein using lemon juice and acetic acid solution reagents.
Methods: This research uses experimental techniques because urine is treated directly by testing using a 6% acetic acid solution (control) and lemon juice solution.
Results: the examination results using lemon juice solution are the same as the examination results using 6% acetic acid solution (control), using the Wilcoxon test, the Asymp.sig (2-tailed) value is 1.000. With the provisions of the test >0.05, Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected, so testing the difference in urine protein levels of hemodialysis patients with acetic acid and lemon juice examination can be carried out.
Conclusion: The results of urine protein examination with acetic acid (control) and lemon juice as an alternative reagent. There is no difference in the results of urine protein examination using 6% acetic acid reagent and lemon juice.

Introduction The search for new compounds with putative antitumor effects and the development of domestic anticancer and antimetastatic drugs based on them is a priority task for specialists in the field of medical chemistry, experimental pathophysiology and pharmacology. Melanoma B16 and Lewis lung epidermoid carcinoma are universal models for evaluating the effect of compounds with putative antitumor action on the primary focus of tumor growth and the process of tumor cells dissemination.The aim of the work is to determine the feasibility of using models of solid tumor growth and metastasis activity of Lewis lung epidermoid carcinoma and B16 melanoma for preclinical studies of antitumor and antimetastatic pharmacological activity of hybrid organotin compounds depending on experimental objectives.Materials and methods The experimental part was performed on C57B1/6 mice (females). Hybrid organotin compounds were administered five times, intraperitoneal, the beginning of treatment – 48 hours after tumor cells transplantation in the same regimes for both models. In this work, the most effective (375 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg, respectively) and toxic (500 mg/kg and 375 mg/kg, respectively) doses of the leader hybrid organotin compounds Me3 (bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylthiolate) dimethytin) and Me5 ((3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylthiolate)triphenyltin) were used.Results At all stages of the experiment on both models of tumor growth we obtained similar results characterizing the pharmacological activity of the tested compounds: moderate antitumor and high antimetastatic effect. The rates of growth and tumor process development are comparable and convenient for planning preclinical studies in vivo and can be interchangeable.Discussion The Lewis lung model of epidermoid carcinoma has a higher degree of convenience for data interpretation (number of metastatic foci in the lungs) when conducting exploratory analysis of pharmacological activity in a wide range of doses. When studying pathogenetic peculiarities of metastasis under the action of compounds with presumed antitumor action due to the possibilities of contrast immunohistochemical staining of tumor cells, the B16 melanoma model has an advantage. In our experiment with immunohistochemical staining for Melan A the hematogenic pathway of metastasis through the bloodstream is clearly traced.Conclusion For exploratory screening studies to select promising candidates for in-depth study it is reasonable to use the Lewis lung epidermoid carcinoma model. The B16 melanoma model is more informative for in-depth study of compounds that have proven to be effective.

Authors: Min Delei , Wei Yintao 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
A new three-dimensional tire ring on elastic foundation model in rolling contact has been proposed and verified. The motivation is to apply this new physical model to the three-dimensional forces’ estimation for intelligent tires, a current research challenge in the automotive industry. The core contribution is the analytical solution of the three-dimensional tire deformation, stress, and forces in complex rolling contact. This new physical model is universal and efficient in linking intelligent tire signals with the solution results, thereby providing a powerful theoretical tool for intelligent tire modeling. Furthermore, the results have been validated by sensitivity analysis of key structural parameters on tire performance. In summary, through modeling, verification, and application in case studies, it has been shown that the proposed methodology can be used for real, practical three-dimensional forces estimation, offering the potential to simplify the vehicle state observer and benefit autonomous vehicles.
