American Women’s History on Film
Authors: Welch Rosanne , Lamphier Peg A. 
Published: August 2023

By exploring a range of films about American women, this book offers readers an opportunity to engage in both history and film in a new way, embracing representation, diversity, and historical context.
Throughout film history, stories of women achieving in American history appear few and far between compared to the many epic tales of male achievement. This book focuses largely on films written by women and about women who tackled the humanist issues of their day and mostly won.
Films about women are important for all viewers of all genders because they remind us that the American Experience is not just male and white. This book examines 10 films, featuring diverse depictions of women and women's history, and encourages readers to discern how and where these films deviate from historical accuracy. Covering films from the 1950s all the way to the 2010s, this text is invaluable for students and general readers who wish to interrogate the way women's history appears on the big screen.

The New Era Of The 1920s
Authors: Olson James S. , Gumpert Mariah 
Published: August 2023

This invaluable resource covers all aspects of 1920s political, artistic, popular, and economic culture in America, supporting the AP U.S. history curriculum through topical and biographical entries, primary documents, sample documents-based essay questions, and period-specific learning objectives.
The 1920s, despite President Harding's "return to normalcy," were a time of both great cultural and social advancement as well as various forms of oppression in the United States. Bookended in history by two world wars, this period saw the rise of tabloid journalism and mass media; the banning and reinstatement of alcohol; the advent of voting rights for women and Native Americans; movements such as the Red Scare, labor strikes, the Harlem Renaissance, and racial protests; and the global reorganization that occurred as the major powers fumbled their way through postwar foreign policy and the League of Nations. Almost no element of U.S. society was untouched.
The New Era of the 1920s: Key Themes and Documents provides high school students taking the Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. history course and undergraduates taking a lower level American history survey course with an invaluable study guide and targeted test preparation material. Much more than just an AP test-taking study guide, this new title in ABC-CLIO's Unlocking American History series is a true reference source for the societal, political, and economic history of a specific period covered in the AP U.S. history course. Readers will also benefit from features designed for student exam preparation, such as a sample documents-based essay question and period-specific learning objectives that are in alignment with the 2014 AP U.S. History Curriculum Framework.

Authors: Alshimy Ahmed Magdy , Ibrahim Saied Mohamed , Osama Lamis Ahmed , Metwally Hosam Magdy 
Published: August 2023

Purpose.Neurodynamic mobilization is a set of passive or active movements aimed at restoring the neural system’s ability to bear the normal compressive, friction, and tensile stresses encountered in daily life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of neurodynamic mobilization on sensory and motor nerve conduction studies, pain, and functional activity in patients with type 2 diabetic neuropathy (DN).Methods.A total of 42 patients were randomly assigned to the neurodynamic mobilization group (NMG) or selected therapy program group (STPG). Electrophysiological measurements for median sensory and tibial motor nerve conduction velocity, and functional activity were conducted using the Katz Index of Independence, while pain was evaluated using the visual analogue scale.Results.Improvement was noted in the post-treatment median sensory (<i>p</i> = 0.002) and tibial motor (<i>p</i> < 0.001) nerve conduction velocity, functional activity (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and pain (<i>p</i> < 0.001), and a statistically significant difference was demonstrated for the NMG, but not for the STPG.Conclusions.Neurodynamic mobilization improved the sensory and motor nerve conduction velocity, functional activity, and pain in patients with type 2 DN.
Acute effect of bounce drop jump and countermovement drop jump with and without additional load on jump performance parameters and reactive strength index on young gymnasts
Authors: Dallas George , Dallas Costas , Pappas Panagiotis , Paradisis Giorgos 
Published: August 2023

Purpose.Reactive strength index defines an athlete’s stretch-shortening cycle function and rebound capabilities. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of two types of drop jumps (bounce drop jump: BDJ and countermovement drop jump: CDJ) on the jump parameters and reactive strength index under two different conditions (with and without additional load) from different drop box heights.Methods.Twelve female artistic gymnasts aged 10–12 years old volunteered to participate in this study. Drop jumps (DJ) were performed from 20-, 25-, 30, and 35-cm heights under two conditions: without additional load (FREE) and with additional load (VEST).Results.No interaction effect was found between the drop jump height, drop jump type and condition parameters, between the drop jump type and load parameters, or between the drop jump height and condition parameters. However, an interaction effect was observed between the drop jump type and load parameters for the reactive strength index. The drop box height (DBH) did not affect any of the dependent variables and the drop jump type with the VEST condition was more effective in improving the examined variables.Conclusions.The CDJ produces a lower reduction in the jump height under both the FREE and VEST conditions from different DBHs with an optimum DBH of 30 cm, while stiffness can be improved with both types of jumps from a DBH 25 cm. The characteristics of jumps, such as BDJ and CDJ and DBH, are determinants of the resulting jump height.

Monitoring snow water equivalent using the phase of RFID signals
Authors: Le Breton Mathieu , Larose Éric , Baillet Laurent , Lejeune Yves , van Herwijnen Alec 
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The amount of water contained in a snowpack, known as
snow water equivalent (SWE), is used to anticipate the amount of snowmelt that could supply hydroelectric power plants, fill water reservoirs, or
sometimes cause flooding. This work introduces a wireless, non-destructive
method for monitoring the SWE of a dry snowpack. The system is based on an
array of low-cost passive radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags, placed
under the snow and read at 865–868 MHz by a reader located above the snow.
The SWE was deduced from the phase delay of the tag's backscattered
response, which increases with the amount of snow traversed by the
radiofrequency wave. Measurements taken in the laboratory, during snowfall events and over
4.5 months at the Col de Porte test field, were consistent with reference
measurements of cosmic rays, precipitation and snow pits. SWE accuracy was
±18 kg m−2 throughout the season (averaged over three tags) and
±3 kg m−2 during dry snowfall events (averaged over data from two
antennas and four or five tags). The overall uncertainty compared to snow
weighing was ±10 % for snow density in the
range 61–390 kg m−3. The main limitations observed were measurement
bias caused by wet snow (biased data were discarded) and the need for phase
unwrapping. The method has a number of advantages: it allows for continuous
measurement (1 min sampling rate in dry snow), it can provide complementary
measurement of tag temperature, it does not require the reception of
external data, and it opens the way towards spatialized measurements. The
results presented also demonstrate that RFID propagation-based sensing can remotely monitor the permittivity of a low-loss dielectric material with
scientific-level accuracy.

Published: August 2023

Seam welding is a versatile and most widely used method of fabrication in pipe and tube industries. A seam weld is a series of overlapping resistance spot welds made progressively along a joint by rotating circular electrodes. With the operating conditions becoming more and more stringent and the increased use of seam welded pipe joints in Industrial and domestic pipelines, the improvement in mechanical properties have become increasingly important. In this study, process parameters viz. Welding current, frequency of current, Roll Pressure and weld speed of Therma Tool welding machine were studied at three levels in a reputed company of Northern India by using L9(3)4 orthogonal arrays of Taguchi method to study tensile strength of electric resistance welding of pipes of 15 mm diameter of Class B. “Welding speed” was found to be contributing the most i.e. 45.43% in variation of Tensile strength followed by “roll pressure” which is contributing 22.93%. The parameter “Welding Current” contributing 20.92% and “Weld current frequency” is affecting least to variation being 10.58% of total variation of process. Lower levels of weld speed and Roll pressure, medium level of welding current and higher level of current frequency resulted in improvement in Tensile strength of pipes by 11.8%.

Effect of L/D Ratio and the Temperature on MR Fluid Squeeze Film Damper Performance
Authors: Saravanakumar G. , Ravikumar L. 
Published: August 2023

Magnetorheological fluid squeeze film dampers are latest devices used to ease out small amplitude, large force vibrations in high speed aircraft jet engines to provide external damping. Magnetorheological fluids are controllable fluids wherein the rheological properties of the fluid like viscosity can be controlled by varying the magnetic field intensity to meet the demands of the rotor dynamic system. Magnetorheological fluids can be utilized in squeeze film dampers, to provide variable stiffness and damping at a particular excitation frequency by controlling the current through the coils of the magnet. A study is carried out to establish the dynamic characteristics of these fluids as a function of temperature. The temperature is raised by 10oC as given in the literature and variation in viscosity and its effect on dynamic characteristics is evaluated theoretically. These characteristics are found to be decreasing with increase in temperature. The dynamic characteristics are evaluated and their effects are studied very clearly for every 10oC rise in temperature. The aim of the research is to provide information of the temperature effect and the L/D ratio on Magnetorheological fluid squeeze film dampers as the aircraft jet engine rotors are located in a zone of high temperature gradients in addition to the heat generated due to the current in the magnetic coils and the damper fluid is sensitive to large variations in temperature.

Published: August 2023

Iron ore pellets plays vital role in the success of the steel industry across the globe. Maintaining consistent quality of pellets is very important to achieve good reducibility and productivity at both blast furnace and direct reduction processes. Physical parameters like cold crushing strength and shatter index of iron ore pellets are very critical for their handling and use. Cold crushing strength (CCS) of iron ore pellets varies widely from as low as 80 Kgf / pellets to as high as 350 Kgf /pellets depending upon the input material quality and the process variables. The most preferred range of CCS of iron ore pellets is 180-240 Kg f / pellets which were normally found in the proportion of 35-40% at the plant. The current investigation focuses on study and implementation of various quality improvement techniques to increase the proportion to the level of 60-70% and improve the cold crushing strength of iron ore pellets.

The Discourse-Historical Approach: The Comparison of The Statelessness Identity in Germany and Latvia
Authors: Rahmadan Yanuar 
Published: August 2023

The statelessness is not a a new issue within European countries. Statelessness had made some highlights but finally gained significant attention after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia in the late 1980s. This study aims to see how the European Commission and the European Network on Statelessness talk about identity in the statelessness issue in Germany and Latvia. Through the qualitative research method, specifically employs the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) from Ruth Wodak, this study aims to reveal the language and the linguistics used in the ad-hoc query and statelessness index to further investigate the identity perspective of statelessness issue in Germany and Latvia. The main finding is that there are several distincting between Germany and Latvia to handle statelessness issue in their respective countries. While Germany has a problem to conduct statelessness determination procedure, Latvia has succeed to created its own statelessness determination procedure although in the end has created categorisation bias. This finding appears in both Statelessness Index and in the Ad-hoc query.Keywords: statelessness, identity, Germany, Latvia, Discourse-Historical approach

Introduction:
We present a case series of proximal junctional failure due to a Chance-type fracture.

Methods:
This is a retrospective review of patients who developed proximal junctional kyphosis because of Chance-type proximal junctional failure after spinal fusion for adult spinal deformity.

Results:
Fifteen patients were identified (4M:11F). The average age was 61.4 years (range, 39 to 77). The mean time to fracture identification was 25.4 days (range, 3 to 65). The average number of levels instrumented was 6.7 (range, 2 to 17). No patients had antecedent trauma before fracture onset. In 67% of cases with a lumbar upper instrumented vertebra (UIV), there was overcorrection of lumbar lordosis (LL) and/or lower LL. The five cases with a lower thoracic UIV had undergone notable correction of preoperative thoracolumbar junction kyphosis. 14 of 15 patients were treated with extension of fusion. Pedicle screws at the fracture level were salvaged by changing to an anatomic trajectory.

Conclusion:
Continued pain at 6 to 12 weeks with radiographs showing an increased proximal junctional angle and cephalocaudal pedicle widening at the UIV should raise suspicion for this unique fracture pattern. A CT scan is recommended. Low bone density, LL and/or lower LL overcorrection, and selection of lower thoracic UIV in the setting of notable thoracolumbar junction correction may contribute to fracture risk.
ثيمة الجسد بين النقص والفناء في شعر دخيل الخليفة دراسة موضوعاتية
Authors: الهلالي د/ أحمد بن عيسى 
Published: August 2023

الشاعر دخيل الخليفة من الشعراء عديمي الجنسية (البدون)، ولد وأقام في دولة الكويت، له مدونة شعرية واسعة أنجزها في سبعة دواوين، تدور في فضاءاتها ثيمات عديدة، كانت ثيمة الجسد أبرزها، تتفرع عنها ثيمات صغرى تشمل معظم أجزاء الجسد، وتتصل بثيمات أخرى أبرزها الموت والحياة، والوطن، وظفّها الشاعر في سياق قضية عديمي الجنسية على النحو الآتي:
ثيمة الجسد: اضطر الشاعر إلى هويته الذاتية، فاعتبر الجسد وطنا، في ظل حرمانه من الهوية الوطنية، وكانت أبرز الثيمات في فضائها:
الجسد المنقوص: وتتمظهر في التعبير بالجسد في حالة نقص بعض أعضائه، كالرأس أو الساق أو الملامح وغيرها، استثمر الشاعر دلالاتها للتعبير عن قضيته، على خلفية النقص الذي يعاني منه المنتمون إلى القضية.
الفناء: وهي ثيمة واسعة المعجم عبر من خلالها الشاعر عن بؤس واقعه، معتبرا حياتهم موتا، ومفضلا عالم الأموات على عالم الأحياء المزدحم بالمظالم والعنف.
استعانت الدراسة بالمنهج الموضوعاتي في إحصاء الثيمات، وتتبع تواترها وتكراراتها، ومحاولة كشف شبكة علاقاتها فيما بينها، وعلاقاتها بقضية الشاعر، فتوصلت الدراسة إلى أن استلاب الهوية دفع الشاعر إلى اتخاذ الجسد وطنا، وأن تشظيه وشعوره بنقص الهوية جعله يعبر بالجسد المنقوص عن ذاته وعن قضيته، كما قاده الشعور بالحرمان إلى التعبير بثيمة الفناء عن حياته وواقعه البائس.
