Authors: Artemova O. Yu. , Sumina E. V. , Beletsky S. V. 
Published: January 2025

Introduction. For the efficient cultivation of medicinal crops, including echinacea, in industrial production conditions, it is necessary to develop and improve adaptive agricultural technologies aimed at obtaining high yields of high-quality medicinal raw materials. The goal of the research is to study the effect of different brands and doses of the Biogor microbiological fertilizer of the KM series on the growth, development of plants, and the yield of air-dry matter of purple echinacea in the soil and climatic conditions of the Belgorod region. The Methods. Field studies were carried out on the experimental field of the Belgorod branch of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution VILAR in 2022-20223. The field experiment was set up in accordance with the methodology for conducting field experiments with medicinal and essential oil crops (VILAR, 2023). The experimental design included a control and 11 experimental variants using two brands of the Biogor microbiological fertilizer - Development and Finish at doses of 1.0 and 2.0 l/ha, both separately and in different combinations. The Results. The research showed that the highest yield of air-dry mass of purple coneflower was ensured by double application of the Biogor Development microbiological fertilizer at a dose of 2.0 l/ha in the 3-4 leaf phase and 1.0 l/ha in the 6-8 leaf phase in combination with the treatment of crops with Biogor Finish at doses of 1.0 and 2.0 l/ha in the budding phase before the first mowing. On average, over two years of research, the yield of purple coneflower grass by the sum of two cuttings in these experimental variants was 3.30 and 3.23 t/ha, respectively, which was 1.52 and 1.45 t/ha more than the control. Conclusions. Thus, the studied brands and doses of the Biogor microbiological fertilizer of the KM series in the conditions of the Belgorod region contributed to the activation of growth processes in purple coneflower plants and an increase in its top yield.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to translate the REGICOR-short Physical Activity Questionnaire (REGICOR-sPAQ) into Turkish and assess its validity and reliability.
Material and Methods: REGICOR Short Physical Activity Questionnaire was translated by sports medicine specialists and language control was provided. For face and content validity, expert comments were gathered. The pilot study tested the questionnaire's validity and reliability. Data were collected at Süleyman Demirel University between January 2022 and March 2023. To examine the reliability, the REGICOR Short Physical Activity Questionnaire was administered to the participants twice and the results of the two questionnaires were examined by test-retest. To assess concurrent validity, participants were administered the International Physical Activity Questionnaire simultaneously and the results of the two surveys were evaluated by correlation analysis. To evaluate criterion validity, the participant filled out the questionnaire after using an accelerometer or pedometer for a week and the results were examined by correlation analysis. The survey was examined in terms of discriminant validity by asking sociodemographic and demographic questions along with the survey.
Results: The sample size consisted of 450 participants (253 female, 197 male; mean age: 26.6±9.4 years), most of whom were university students. The results obtained from the test-retest reliability for the REGICOR-sPAQ are at a good level (r=0.55-0.81; p<0.001). REGICOR-sPAQ is found to have good concurrent validity (r=0.29-0.78; p<0.001). The criterion validity is at the medium level (r=0.29-0.49; p<0.001). The REGICOR-sPAQ was able to make a statistically significant distinction between genders, chronic disease status and medication use in terms of distinction validity (p<0.05).
Conclusion: This study adapts an international questionnaire to evaluate physical activity in Türkiye. Based on these observations, it can be said that the Turkish version of the REGICOR-sPAQ is valid and reliable.

Published: January 2025

Musim kemarau berdampak pada kurangnya ketersediaan air bersih bagi sebagian masyarakat karst Gunungkidul. Hal ini disebabkan karena tidak terdapat air permukaan padahal rata-rata curah hujan mencapai 2.123,25 mm per tahun. Air yang tersedia di wilayah ini diperkirakan mampu memenuhi kebutuhan air bersih penduduk yang berjumlah 750.000 jiwa. Berdasarkan prinsip neraca air, cadangan air minum dapat dihitung dengan masukan air total adalah keluaran air total ditambah dengan cadangan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitiatif. Data-data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder sebagai input total masukan dan total keluaran. Data curah hujan selama 10 tahun dimodelkan sebagai total masukan rata-rata. Model ini menjadi dasar penghitungan cadangan dengan asumsi bahwa total keluaran adalah tetap. Metode analisis penelitian ini dengan pemodelan neraca air. Penelitian ini bertujuan menghitung ketersediaan air bawah tanah wilayah Gunungkidul untuk memenuhi kebutuhan air bersih penduduk. Hasil penghitungan menunjukkan bahwa cadangan air bawah tanah aktual cukup besar dan mampu memenuhi kebutuhan air bersih. Ketersediaan cadangan air ini masih mampu memenuhi bilamana terjadi aglomerasi perkotaan di wilayah ini dengan pertumbuhan penduduk sebesar 0,1% per tahun. Bahkan potensi cadangan air yang dimiliki mampu berkontribusi menjadi air baku produk air minum
Narrative Research

Published: January 2025

First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license asWhat is Narrative Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series.
Narrative research has become a catchword in the social sciences today, promising new fields of inquiry and creative solutions to persistent problems. This book brings together ideas about narrative from a variety of contexts across the social sciences and synthesizes understandings of the field. Rather than focusing on theory, it examines how narrative research is conducted and applied. It operates as a practical introductory guide, basic enough for first-time researchers, but also as a window onto the more complex questions and difficulties that all researchers in this area face. The authors guide readers through current debates about how to obtain and analyse narrative data, about the nature of narrative, the place of the researcher, the limits of researcher interpretations, and the significance of narrative work in applied and in broader political contexts.
This new edition includes updated references and a greater focus on digitality throughout. It addresses social justice and decoloniality more explicitly, centrally and consistently, drawing on examples around Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, climate change and Extinction Rebellion, and Covid and pandemic narratives.
Political Illustration
Authors: Moore Catherine A. , Hauser Megan 
Published: January 2025

Political Illustrationintroduces students of illustration, visual communication, art, and political science to how political illustration works, when it’s used and why.Through a variety of examples – from the coins of Julius Caesar to contemporary art challenging Indigenous American stereotypes – the book covers propaganda, the impact of media, censorship, and taboo, and the role of contentious politics and dissent art. A wide range of contemporary illustration mediums are included, including street art, the graphic novel, and mixed assemblage illustration, in order to examine the role of media and technique in political messaging. The book features breakout interviews and case studies on prominent global political illustrators (like Edel Rodriguez, Anita Kunz and Fabian Williams) and full color examples. The authors include an introduction to semiotics, visual grammar, and visual communication theory, and how these approaches contribute to the decoding of political messages – and how these tactics are used by those ruling, and those being ruled.
In particular, the authors look at political illustration, protest art and propaganda related to:
- American and European Imperialism - Japanese internment - The World Wars - The Soviet Union and China - Dictatorships in Africa and South America - Civil Rights movements - Contemporary protests and marches, including the Women’s March (2017) and the Egyptian Revolution (2011) - …and many more periods, events and movements
Hermias: On Plato Phaedrus 257C-279C, with ‘Syrianus’
Authors: Baltzly Dirk , Share Michael 
Published: January 2025

This third and final volume concludes Hermias' commentary on Plato'sPhaedrus. Here, Plato delivers a celebrated critique of writing, and its relationship to orality. Hermias follows him, and adds a general account of good writing. In addition, this volume offers the first English translation of the briefIntroduction to Hermogenes'On Styles, which manuscripts attribute—probably mistakenly—to Hermias' teacher Syrianus.
Baltzly and Share discuss theIntroduction’s authorship and its relation to the genuine commentaries of Syrianus on the rhetorical treatises of Hermogenes. They illuminate the relationship between philosophy and rhetoric in the Neoplatonic schools, and provide a novel explanation of Neoplatonic commentaries as performances of Platonic literacy in ancient elite education.
This translation offers novel evidence of interest for students of ancient philosophy, rhetorical education, and literature more broadly. It is accompanied by explanatory notes, an introduction, and scholarly apparatus, including indices, glossaries, and bibliography.
Ecological Reasonings
Authors: Jörg Kilian 
Published: January 2025

What role does ‘reason’ have in tackling the catastrophic ecological situation of the early 21st-century? Can the concept shrug off its problematic role in Western epistemology and find a new place and function in dealing with the Anthropocene? InEcological Reasonings, Kilian Jörg argues that we ignore reason at our peril.
This book revolves around the idea that in order to salvage reason, we must include it in the current move to pluralize the key concepts of Western philosophy – where we once talked of nature, science and technology, we now talk about natures, sciences, and technologies. In the same way, it is time to reconceptualize reason as reasonings – a diverse and multi-perspectival wealth of interactions that can create a vital alternative to the mainstream academic thought. Drawing on a broad span of theoretical traditions including new materialism, eco-feminism, embodied performance and speculative philosophy, Jörg weaves countless voices and aspects together to demonstrate the rich texture of his pluralized vision. The impact of these new reasonings on the pressing challenges of our time can be seen in the sheer scope of these elements, from the role of artificial intelligence to the post-truth society and how science can shape our own self-understanding.
Abbas Kiarostami and Iranian National Cinema
Authors: Khosrowjah Hossein 
Published: January 2025

The films of Abbas Kiarostami (1940-2016) are at once ambiguous and singular, challenging easy categorisation in national, generic, and formal terms. In this insightful study, Hossein Khosrowjah provides an in-depth exploration of Kiarostami's body of work, considering how his filmmaking confronts questions of cinematic representation, identity, and the myth of national unity.
Challenging prevailing auteurist readings of Kiarostami’s work, Hossein Khosrowjah firmly anchors his filmmaking within the historical context of Iranian national cinema. Through a close reading of key films, includingClose-Up(1990),Taste of Cherry(1997),The Wind Will Carry Us(1999), and10(2002), he explores Kiarostami’s radically anti-allegorical representational strategies. He goes on to examine the national and global circulation of his films, considering the role of censorship within Iran and the intersection of art, politics and the complexities of creative freedom.
He traces the continuing emphasis on partiality and the singularity of representations—of subjects, time, and location—across Kiarostami’s films, arguing that it is through this intentional ambiguity that his cinema reshapes notions of nation and national identity, challenges conventions and broadens the scope for cinematic expression.
Overriding Mandatory Rules in International Commercial Disputes
Authors: KIM Min Kyung 
Published: January 2025

This open access book analyses how to identify and treat overriding mandatory rules in international commercial litigation and arbitration from a Korean and comparative law perspective.
In addition to providing a deeper understanding of the concept of overriding mandatory rules and setting out standards and factors to identify such rules, the book provides a solution to the problems that third-country mandatory provisions pose in international commercial disputes.
The book examines the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice under the Rome Convention and the Rome I Regulation, Swiss IPRG, and German and English law to help interpret and propose an amendment to the Korean Act on Private International Law. The book also establishes tests to identify the overriding mandatory character and then empirically applies them to assess various provisions in 10 different Acts in Korea.
Furthermore, the book provides a ‘balancing interest test’ for third-country mandatory rules and suggests a new provision that harmonises the conflicting interests of the parties, the forum country, the third country and interests of international harmony of decisions. It also explores the arbitrability of disputes in relation to overriding mandatory rules, the validity of an arbitration agreement, the extent to which overriding mandatory rules should apply, and whether the national courts can refuse enforcement of or revoke arbitral awards which did not apply/consider overriding mandatory rules.
This book is an invaluable resource to legal practitioners, judges, arbitrators in international commercial dispute resolution, researchers in private international law and international commercial law, and parties to international commercial contracts.
Winner of the 16th Simdang Academic Prize 2023. Judge Dr Min Kyung Kim is the second-youngest recipient of this prestigious award and it is the first time that the prize has been awarded for a PhD thesis.

Wanda
Authors: Gorfinkel Elena 
Published: January 2025

Actor-turned-writer/director Barbara Loden's only feature film,Wanda(1970), tells the story of an alienated working-class woman, Wanda Goronski (played by Loden), who abandons her life as a coal miner’s wife and mother, electing instead to drift. Bracing in its realist texture and proto-feminist in its sensibility, it received critical acclaim upon release, winning the Critics’ Prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1970. Today,Wandais considered one of the most notable films made by a woman director and a core work of American independent cinema.
Elena Gorfinkel's study of this singular film traces Loden's creative process and unconventional approach to filmmaking. Drawing on archival sources, including scripts, interviews, production records, oral history, and previously unseen ephemera, she examines the film’s de-dramatised aesthetic, one that rebukes the artifice and “slickness” of Hollywood. Gorfinkel considers Loden’s craft in her framing of cinematic time, manipulation of gesture, voice, and posture, narrative ellipsis, and in her use of location and non-professional actors. Providing an account ofWanda'sexhibition and reception in the 1970s and after, she traces the film's feminist legacies, and its lasting influence on contemporary filmmakers, artists and writers.

Water in the West
Authors: Vaughn Jacqueline 
Published: January 2025

Water use and conservation in the American West have long been shaped by a host of geographic, environmental, political and economic factors.Today, though, serious questions are being raised about how western states used dams, irrigation systems, and other water-related infrastructure to transform the landscape of the West. Are current trends in water consumption across the West sustainable, given the region's arid environment and rapidly growing populations? Are so-called "water wars" between thirsty states (and between Mexico and USA) worsening? What impact will climate change have on the West's limited water resources--and the people who depend on them?
This book answers all those questions and more, drawing on quantifiable facts and the knowledge and perspectives of experts on water resource consumption, administration, and conservation to provide a one-stop resource for understanding the past, present, and future of water in the American West.
TISM's Machiavelli and the Four Seasons
Authors: Jenke Tyler 
Published: January 2025

An in-depth look at the rise of enigmatic Australian rock band TISM, the unexpected success of their 1995 album,Machiavelli and the Four Seasons, and the continued trajectory of their storied career.
Focusing on one of Australia’s most enigmatic bands, This Is Serious Mum (better known as TISM), Tyler Jenke forms an in-depth analysis of the anonymous, pseudonymous Melbourne collective’s rise to prominence and unlikely success on the popular music charts with their third album,Machiavelli and the Four Seasons(1995). Jenke details TISM’s origins as they slowly went from a bedroom concept to an underground success to a staple of concert stages and commercial radio in Australia, growing a rabid fanbase in the process.
Despite the anti-commercial tendencies of TISM, whose album artwork didn’t feature the band, whose band members performed under pseudonyms and who rarely gave interviews, never mind sincere answers, TISM became a commercially successful group. In this book, Jenke identifies the steps the band took to shift their sound from their tried-and-true experimental Australian pub-rock roots to the burgeoning, youthful electronic music genre, employing synthesizers and samplers. With their new sound, TISM incorporated Dadaism – the use of unusual or everyday sounds – and both avant-garde and classic pop musicianship. The band’s new sound resulted in both top ten success and an ARIA Award. This is the first book to dissect TISM’s rise to fame within the Australian music industry and analyze TISM’s status as one of the most memorable, mysterious and paradoxically successful groups in the country’s vibrant alternative music scene.
High-throughput sequence-based microsatellite genotyping for the non-model Neotropical tree species Anadenanthera colubrina (Leguminosae)
Authors: Goncalves Alejandra Lorena , García María Victoria , Chancerel Emilie , Lepais Olivier , Heuertz Myriam 
Published: January 2025

Background and aims – Anadenanthera colubrina is a Neotropical native forest tree species with significant ecological importance in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests. Developing genetic markers for this species is relevant for conservation, breeding, and evolutionary studies. Previously available genetic markers for A. colubrina consisted of a few microsatellites. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategies allow simple and cost-effective development of new SSR loci from low-coverage whole genome shotgun sequencing. The main aim was to develop microsatellite markers for sequence-based high-throughput genotyping (SSRseq) in the species and to characterize their information content against traditional capillary electrophoresis-based microsatellite data by estimating the amount of molecularly accessible size homoplasy of each locus. Additionally, the reliability of these markers for population genetic analysis was assessed by genotyping two age classes (reproductively mature trees and seedlings) in a typical location in Argentina.
Key results – Sixty primer pairs targeting microsatellites were designed, of which 25 were validated with allelic error rates &lt; 3% and genotype missingness &lt; 20%. A significantly higher number of alleles per locus and heterozygosity was detected for SSRseq considering sequence polymorphisms compared to analysing the same data based on sequence size (length) only. Size homoplasy, calculated as the proportion of mismatches between datasets relative to the number of alleles differing in length, averaged 97.85% over all SSR loci. High levels of population genetic diversity were detected in adults and seedlings from Paranaense forests, exceeding those reported in previous studies of A. colubrina using traditional SSRs. The generated datasets increase the resolution of capillary-based microsatellite genotyping, allowing for more accurate inference of eco-evolutionary processes in non-model tree species.
