Modern Sports around the World
Authors: Schwartz David Asa 
Published: August 2023

Sports have become an international spectacle that influences nations’ foreign policy, world economies, and regional morale. Hundreds of billions of dollars are at stake as governments and multinational corporations rush to make sure they have a place at the table. And yet, sports come from humble beginnings. We are fascinated by who can run the fastest, lift the most weight, jump the highest, swim the farthest, and act with the most precision. The history of sports is the history of the world.
Modern Sports around the World examines 50 of the world’s most popular sports. Each chapter features one sport and details that sport’s origins, global migration, economic forces, media influences, political environment, pop-culture inspirations, scandalous moments, and key individuals. Sports history is a tapestry of sociological variables; Modern Sports around the World weaves them together to create a unique history book that explains not only where humanity has been, but where it might be going.
Myths and Realities of Cyber Warfare
Authors: Sambaluk Nicholas Michael 
Published: August 2023

This illuminating book examines and refines the commonplace “wisdom” about cyber conflict? its effects, character, and implications for national and individual security in the 21st century.
"Cyber warfare" evokes different images to different people. This book deals with the technological aspects denoted by "cyber" and also with the information operations connected to social media's role in digital struggle.
The author discusses numerous mythologies about cyber warfare, including its presumptively instantaneous speed, that it makes distance and location irrelevant, and that victims of cyber attacks deserve blame for not defending adequately against attacks. The author outlines why several widespread beliefs about cyber weapons need modification and suggests more nuanced and contextualized conclusions about how cyber domain hostility impacts conflict in the modern world.
After distinguishing between the nature of warfare and the character of wars, chapters will probe the widespread assumptions about cyber weapons themselves. The second half of the book explores the role of social media and the consequences of the digital realm being a battlespace in 21st-century conflicts. The book also considers how trends in computing and cyber conflict impact security affairs as well as the practicality of people’s relationships with institutions and trends, ranging from democracy to the Internet of Things.
The Pearl Harbor Secret
Authors: Menzel Sewall 
Published: August 2023

This book provides a penetrating look into U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt's strategy to bait Adolf Hitler into declaring war on America in order to defeat Germany militarily, thus preventing the Nazis from developing the atomic bomb.
In late 1939, President Roosevelt learned that Hitler was attempting to develop an atomic bomb to use against the United States. The president responded by directing his own scientific community to develop an atomic bomb and began making plans to go to war with Germany. However, he was hampered by public opinion, with 80 percent of the American people against U.S. involvement in another ground war in Europe.
Roosevelt seized an opportunity in 1940, when Japan and Nazi Germany formed a military alliance. To bait Germany into war, FDR shut down Japan's war-making economy, prompting Tokyo to attack Pearl Harbor. A few days later, Hitler declared war on America.
Using declassified documents, this book shows how Pearl Harbor was not about Japan; it was about the United States going to war with Germany. It reveals how the U.S. Navy's intelligence gathering system could break virtually any Japanese naval code, but Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, was kept in the dark about the impending Pearl Harbor attack by his own government.
Poverty and the Poor in the World’s Religious Traditions
Authors: Brackney William H. , Das Rupen 
Published: August 2023

This detailed book is a resource for students, practitioners, and leaders interested in how the major world religions have understood poverty and responded to the poor.
Poverty is a universal phenomenon across history, regardless of country or culture. Today, the demographics of the poor are on the rise globally: it is a critical issue. Religious traditions are another universal aspect of human societies, and nearly all religions include directives on how to respond to the poor and systemic poverty. How do the various religious traditions conceptualize poverty, and what do they view as the proper response to the poor?
Poverty and the Poor in the World's Religious Traditions: Religious Responses to the Problem of Poverty brings together specialists on the religions of the world and their diverse viewpoints to identify how different religious traditions interact with poverty and being poor. It also contains excerpts of religious texts that readers can use as primary documents to illustrate themes such as identifying the poor, religious reasons for being poor, and responses (like charity and development) to the existence of poverty. This book serves as a powerful resource for students of subjects like international development, missiology, comparative religion, theology, social ethics, economics, and organizational leadership as well as for any socially concerned clergy of various faiths.

Authors: Putri Nurafifah Indah , Haliah Haliah , Nirwana Nirwana 
Published: August 2023

This study aims to determine the performance of Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Nabire using the Value For Money approach in 2019-2021. Value For Money is a concept of managing public sector organizations based on three main elements, namely economy, efficiency, and also effectiveness.
This research is a quantitative descriptive study, where this research will describe the phenomena or characteristics of the data during the period 2019, 2020 and 2021 using the value for money method approach which consists of the analysis of Economic Ratios, Effectiveness Ratios and Efficiency Ratios. This research was conducted at Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Nabire using secondary data sources. Secondary data obtained in the form of documentation, namely the number of results from the APBD and RAPBD of the Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Nabire on the DJPK (Directorate General of Fiscal Balance) Data Portal website of the Ministry of Finance: https://djpk.kemenkeu.go.id/portal/data/apbd.
This study shows that the performance of the Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Nabire has not met the value for money principle because the economic ratio shows a value of > 100% in 2019 and 2021 meaning it is not economical because the realization of expenditure is greater than the budget, the efficiency ratio shows a value of > 100% in 2019 meaning that it is inefficient because the realization of expenditure is greater than the realization of income, and the effectiveness ratio shows a value of <100% in 2019-2020 which means that it is not effective because the realization of income is smaller than the revenue budget.

Dataset digunakan untuk melatih model yang diusulkan dan membandingkan hasil dengan dataset malware lain yang diketahui. hasil: Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan jaringan saraf dalam yang sederhana untuk mempelajari fitur PE vektor tidak hanya efektif, tetapi juga kurang intensif sumber daya dibandingkan dengan metode deteksi heuristik konvensional. kesimpulan: Model yang diusulkan dalma penelitian ini mencapai AUC sebesar 99,8% dengan 98% true positive pada 1% false positive pada kurva ROC. Untuk menunjukkan bahwa model ini berpotensi melengkapi atau menggantikan perangkat lunak anti-malware konvensional maka untuk penelitian dimasa depan diusulkan untuk mengimplementasikan model ini secara praktis
Sensitivity of gyre-scale marine connectivity estimates to fine-scale circulation
Authors: Hariri Saeed , Speich Sabrina , Blanke Bruno , Lévy Marina 
Published: August 2023

Abstract. We investigated the connectivity properties of an
idealized western boundary current system separating two ocean gyres, where
the flow is characterized by a well-defined mean circulation as well as
energetic fine-scale features (i.e., mesoscale and submesoscale currents).
We used a time-evolving 3D flow field from a high-resolution (HR-3D) ocean
model of this system. In order to evaluate the role of the fine scales in
connectivity estimates, we computed Lagrangian trajectories in three
different ways: using the HR-3D flow, using the same flow but filtered on a
coarse-resolution grid (CR-3D), and using the surface layer flow only
(HR-SL). We examined connectivity between the two gyres along the western
boundary current and across it by using and comparing different metrics, such
as minimum and averaged values of transit time between 16 key sites, arrival
depths, and probability density functions of transit times. We find that
when the fine-scale flow is resolved, the numerical particles connect pairs
of sites faster (between 100 to 300 d) than when it is absent. This
is particularly true for sites that are along and near the jets separating
the two gyres. Moreover, the connectivity is facilitated when 3D instead of
surface currents are resolved. Finally, our results emphasize that ocean
connectivity is 3D and not 2D and that assessing connectivity properties
using climatologies or low-resolution velocity fields yields strongly biased
estimates.
Survey on Security Challenges in Warning Message Dissemination and Possible Solutions
Authors: Balakrishnan Salini , Tripti C. , Cyriac Robin 
Published: August 2023

The recent advances in the area of Wireless Communications in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) have brought an emerging platform for both industrialists and for researchers. VANET possess a dynamic topology with multi-hop networks leading to an infrastructure less nature. Communication happens in two ways, one between the moving vehicles and with the Road Side Units (RSU). The usage of wireless medium would surely make it vulnerable to different attacks. By enabling prompt and correct warning messages on road conditions, accident cases etc. VANET can be used to save lives of people, which is the most important application of VANET. Distributing warning messages over a long range is however a very challenging task since message integrity has to be ensured. Also for making the system more reliable nonrepudiation should also be included in the security module. A survey of security issues in notification and warning message dissemination is done in this paper.
Improvement in Thermal Efficiency of a CI Engine Using a Waste Heat Recovery Technique
Authors: Sharma Aashish , Chauhan Ajay , Nautiyal Himanshu , Varun  , Sharma Pushpendra Kumar 
Published: August 2023

A big portion of the heat supplied to an internal combustion (IC) engine is not converted into work and wasted through the exhaust gases in surroundings. If this heat is recovered or used by some means then improvement can be obtained in engine’s overall efficiency. In the present work, an experimental work is carried out to study the effect of waste heat recovery of exhaust gas in a Compression Ignition (CI) engine. The results show that considerable reduction in engine fuel consumption can be obtained with the help of exhaust heat recovery through a heat exchanger. A significant amount of heat of exhaust gases can be recovered by vaporization of fuel using a heat exchanger.
Occupational exposure to silica dust in France: an ongoing concern
Authors: Delabre Laurène , Houot Marie-Tülin , Burtin Adrianna , Pilorget Corinne 
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVES: Crystalline silica is found in many construction materials. Although it is one of the oldest known occupational exposures, new exposure contexts have emerged in recent years. In 2021, France classified work involving exposure to respirable crystalline silica (ie, silica dust) generated by a work process as carcinogenic. In order to assess exposure in the French workforce between 1947 and 2020, we developed a silica job-exposure matrix (JEM) for the Matgéné program.
METHOD: The JEM was linked with occupational data from different population censuses (1982, 1990, 1999, 2007 and 2017). The proportions and numbers of workers exposed to silica dust in France at these various census time points were estimated and described by sex and industry for 2017.
RESULTS: After decreasing between 1982 and 1999, the proportion of workers exposed to silica dust remained stable at 4%, representing 975 000 workers in 2017. Exposed workers were mostly men (93%), and most worked in the construction industry (64%). This was also the industry where the majority of workers were exposed to a level above the French 8-hour time weighted average occupational exposure limit (TWA-OEL).
CONCLUSION: A large number of workers in France were still exposed (some highly) to silica dust in 2017 so this agent still poses an occupational health concern. The results of this study provide key information about the continued surveillance of the evolution of exposure to silica dust. In a few years, it will be possible to quantify the impact of the 2021 regulation in terms of proportions and number of workers exposed to silica dust.
