<strong>Abstract:</strong> The problem of energy shortage is still a global problem which is especially felt in developing countries whose residents live in villages, which still require the development of more efficient energy sources. Limited fossil fuels make water energy the best energy option. The problem of meeting the availability of electricity in rural areas by utilizing water energy as new and renewable energy is a long-term goal in this research. The current research on kinetic turbines is a combination of two types of waterwheels, which have a vertical axis (overshot and swell turbines). The vertical shaft is made so that the generator is easier to install and all the blades get a boost in the flow of water. Most water turbines have fixed blades. In this research, the target of the novelty is a kinetic turbine with a vertical shaft which has a hinged blade. Hinged blades are blades that can move when the flow of water hits the blades, so that on one side of the turbine it will reduce the negative torque and on the other hand it will increase the rotation of the turbine. The results of the research that became the target, namely, obtained a turbine design that has more optimal turbine power and efficiency, compared to a turbine that has a fixed blade, so that this externally hinged blade kinetic turbine can contribute to the provision of rural electrical energy. This research method is an experiment by doing independent variations on the number of blades, and blade 10 has an optimum power value of 59.01 Watt.

Abstract Introduction The incidence of hip flexion contracture following transtibial and transfemoral amputations is estimated to be 13% and 23%, respectively. The presence of burns and burn scars in the cutaneous field of skin associated with hip flexion complicates contracture prevention. Standard approaches for prevention or management of these contractures include positioning, ROM, exercise, intensive patient education, and in extreme cases, custom orthoses. This is a single case report of a patient with a hip flexion contracture, managed with a novel custom hinged hip extension orthosis following scar resurfacing. Methods A 54-year-old female was struck by a semi-trailer at a crosswalk, resulting in bilateral above the knee amputations. She received a split thickness skin graft (STSG) to her L hip during acute reconstruction at an outside hospital. She presented to our institution 3 months later with a hip flexion contracture, severely limiting her mobility, and ability to fit for BLE prosthetics. Under anesthesia, goniometric measurements were taken prior to contracture release and then immediately after resurfacing A custom thermoplastic hinged hip extension orthosis was fabricated utilizing the hinge from an off-the shelf locking, hinged knee brace. The hinge was locked to prevent further hip flexion however was set to allow for increased extension. An additional strap was added to decrease hip abduction. The orthosis was worn at all times for five days. The thermoplastic components of the orthosis were re-fabricated prior to discharge. Goniometric measurements were taken at every healing milestone and weekly in the clinic. Results The patient tolerated the orthotic at all times and transitioned to nighttime wear upon discharge. Hip extension progressed from 60 degrees pre-operatively, to 40 degrees immediately following resurfacing to 4 degrees from neutral within one month. The patient is now in the process of being fitted for prosthetics. Conclusions Utilizing a custom fabricated hinged hip extension orthosis with thermoplast components allowed for custom adjustments and progressive stretch throughout the course of care. This orthotic is a valuable alternative to the off-the-shelf devices. This custom modification allowed for immediate application following surgical correction of scars, and resulted in compelling gains in range of motion Applicability of Research to Practice A custom fabricated hinged hip extension orthosis can progress patient ROM for functional use of prosthetics.

This research investigates the pivotal role of self-confidence in fostering success in acquiring a second language, with a specific emphasis on the proficiency in the English language exhibited by elementary school English teachers in Erbil, Kurdistan. The study seeks to identify the impediments that hinder language educators from attaining fluency in spoken English and delves into the ways in which self-confidence exerts influence over their journey in language acquisition. Employing a quantitative research approach, a questionnaire was administered to a cohort of 41 elementary school English teachers hailing from diverse backgrounds and representing 41 distinct public schools during the academic year of 2021. The analysis of the data hinged on Likert scales applied to assess various variables, ultimately revealing several noteworthy barriers. These barriers encompassed a dearth of motivation, the practice of code-switching between Kurdish and English in classroom communication, inadequate opportunities for English language practice, both within and outside the classroom setting, alongside challenges linked to grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.

Full textAbstract:
The trilith consists of two vertical elements (columns) supporting a horizontal element (lintel). The understanding of the dynamic behaviour of triliths is an important step towards their preservation and starts with the knowledge of the dynamics of rigid blocks. A passive method based on a dynamic mass absorber is used to protect a trilith from overturning. The protection system is modelled as a pendulum, hinged on the lintel, with the mass lumped at the end. The equations of rocking motion, uplift and the impact conditions are obtained for the coupled system trilith-mass absorber. An extensive parametric analysis is performed with the aim to compare the behaviour of the system with and without the pendulum, under impulsive one-sine (or one-cosine) base excitations. In order to point out the effectiveness of the protection system, overturning spectra, providing the amplitude of the excitation versus its frequency, are obtained. The pendulum mass absorber results effective in avoiding overturning in specific ranges of the frequency of the excitation. However, outside these ranges the mass absorber never compromises the safety of the trilith.

Engineers are using simulation-based design to test the digital prototype of a floating military base that will be the largest structure ever to voyage on the high seas. Consisting of five separate modules joined by a series of hinged connectors, the proposed mobile offshore base (MOB) is planned to provide a mobile, sea-based alternative to fixed land bases outside the United States. The Navy's proposed mobile offshore base includes a 1-mile-long runway, 85 acres of interior space, and facilities for transferring containers and vehicles from cargo ships docked alongside. The self-propelled structure would serve as a semi-stationary base for military operations and humanitarian efforts. Feasibility studies are being performed at McDermott Technology Inc. in Lynchburg, Virginia, a supplier and operator of semisubmersible vessels for the offshore oil industry. Simulations, visualizations, and analyses for these studies are being conducted at the Simulation-Based Design Office of the Gulf Coast Regional Maritime Technology Center in Orange, Texas, which was established by the University of New Orleans in cooperation with the Office of Naval Research in Washington, DC.

Higher learning institutions are under immense pressure to evolve within the realms of the fourth industrial revolution. Training institutions are anticipated to minimize learning costs in the face of increasing enrolments. The flipped classroom model is a suitable instructional pedagogy to achieve institutional goals considering the current ubiquitousness of information and communication technology. The systematic review was aimed at summarizing and identifying research gaps that help inform future research trajectories. The 3-step review process was composed of articles searching and retrieval, filtering and sorting, and final inclusion. Identified empirical articles were; i.) Retrieved and summarized on the basis of tittles, abstracts, methods and basic findings, ii.) Filtered and sorted on the basis of study discipline, and iii.) Synthesized on the basis of basic findings. It was found that the flipped classroom improved academic performance to a limited extent. Most articles unanimously concurred that the flipped classroom model makes learning enjoyable and enables the development of lower order cognitive skills outside class and higher order cognitive skills through F2F (face to face) active learning. The success of the model in higher education is hinged on excellent planning, implementation and evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article addresses the relationship between history and the international. Starting from the ‘history controversy’ in IR in the 1980s and 1990s, it shows that that debate hinged on the political import of history as a form of knowledge. This political meaning, to which agency and freedom were central, was challenged through the theorisation in IR of the problematic relationship of the international, as a fragmented political form, to historical time: the spatial inside–outside division was understood as carrying a corresponding temporal and historical division, between progress and repetition. To explain why history carried this political significance, the article explores the connection of historical consciousness to sovereignty and political subjectivity. It shows that history as a distinctively modern form of relation to ‘the past’ is inseparable from the rise of modern sovereign authority and its accompanying political subject and idea of freedom: sovereignty’s reformulation of political space went along with a refashioning of the character of historical time. However, history’s conceptual attachment to sovereignty also ties it to the fragmented form of the international. History thus finds its limits in the international and IR becomes a site for the critique of the relationship between history, political form, and subjectivity.

Full textAbstract:
The Catholic Church considers morality to be synonymous with life. Evil and death came into the world that was created good when Adam and Eve in disobedience ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden and their eyes were opened to the realization of good and evil. Morality, especially within the context of Moral Theology in the Catholic Church, is hinged on some basic concepts including freedom, truth, natural law, and conscience. Generally, moral sensitivity or moral awareness is the ability to recognize moral issues when they arise especially in day-to-day living. Largely, the Catholic Church views the holistic formation of people as indispensable for achieving their potential to live responsibly in their society. Catholic schools were known for being disciplined in all ramifications – punctuality, meeting deadlines, cleanliness, examination integrity, diligence, commitment of staff, responsibility and accountability, mutual respect, decency, orderliness, care of students, high academic achievement, and excellence in all ramifications. The moral atmosphere of Catholic schools will definitely affect the moral atmosphere outside the four walls of the schools. Since education is an essential way of directly and indirectly impacting the society, the holistic formation Catholic Schools are expected to provide their beneficiaries at all levels will incredibly and invariably impact the larger society.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAssisted colonization, or the translocation of species threatened with extinction to habitats outside their indigenous range (usually as a response to predicted climate shifts), is a divisive issue for conservationists. Yet, history shows that wildlife scientists were discussing the trade-offs and challenges of translocating species for conservation purposes, including introducing them to new habitats, long before anthropogenic climate change was recognized as posing a conservation problem. Here we examine a case of the scientific and policy deliberations of a high profile group of scientists and policy advisers from the 1960s (the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife's Committee on Rare and Endangered Wildlife Species) to provide a useful historical context for assessing current debates on assisted colonization. The Committee's attempt to produce a consistent policy for the ‘transplantation’ of threatened species illustrates how translocation debates have long hinged on an unresolved set of scientific and conceptual concerns, including the relative value of individual species and historically intact ecosystems and the philosophical status of human-assisted movement of wildlife. Bringing the Committee's deliberations to light places contemporary debates over assisted colonization in the USA in their historical context and illustrates how what often appear to be highly technical and scientific disagreements over conservation translocations are ultimately driven by deeper conceptual issues about the means and ends of conservation.

Full textAbstract:
Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952), a Hindu missionary to the United States, wrote one of the world’s most highly acclaimed spiritual classics, Autobiography of a Yogi, which was first published in 1946 and continues to be one of the best-selling spiritual philosophy titles of all time. In this critical biography, David Neumann tells the story of Yogananda’s fascinating life while interpreting his position in religious history, transnational modernity, and American culture. Beginning with Yogananda’s spiritual investigations in his native India, Neumann tells how this early “global guru” emigrated to the United States in 1920 and established his headquarters, the Self-Realization Fellowship, in Los Angeles, where it continues today. Preaching his message of Hindu yogic philosophy in a land that routinely sent its own evangelists to India, Yogananda was fueled by a religious nationalism that led him to conclude that Hinduism could uniquely fill a spiritual void in America and Europe. At the same time, he embraced a growing belief that Hinduism’s success outside South Asia hinged on a sincere understanding of Christian belief and practice. By “universalizing” Hinduism, Neumann argues, Yogananda helped create the novel vocation of Hindu yogi evangelist, generating fresh connections between religion and commercial culture in a deepening American religious pluralism.

Inventory and Hinge provides an overview of the research projects performed over the last two decades at the Institute for Contemporary Art Research (IFCAR) of Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). It is an inventory because it presents all the projects realized during this period with many figures and illustrations. It is a hinge because links and QR codes grant access to nearly all publications and websites that were created by the individual projects. Artistic work interconnects multiple competencies and areas of knowledge, ways of life and working, and the IFCAR research projects are thus organized in correspondence with this transgressive gesture, which becomes manifest here as interdisciplinary, networked knowledge production. The cultivation of these complexities has been a mission of the IFCAR since its inception. Throughout these pioneering years the IFCAR has always seen its task in the promotion of research competency in the fine arts, and in providing support for the conception and execution of concrete projects. Although art as research has a long tradition outside of institutions, this task meant nothing less than introducing a new research discipline into the context of knowledge and establishing a new genre in the context of art. Each of the projects presented in this book involves research through the process of creation—but they often also conduct a metadiscourse on artistic research itself.

This book’s primary purpose is to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Montesquieu’s Persian Letters, a seminal book in classical liberal thought. Persian Letters is a delightfully rich, sympathetic satire of commercial society’s promise and discontents, covering a wide range of issues and themes that shaped the direction of liberal modernity. It consists of a series of letters largely written by two Persian travelers to Paris, who allow modern readers to view Parisian life from the perspective of an outsider. The volume includes contributions from prominent scholars of Montesquieu’s and early career scholars who have recently unearthed new and exciting avenues for understanding this important hinge-figure in modern political thought.

Full textAbstract:
The federal model is potentially subject to two ‘special’ cases. First, because the jurisprudence on Article 34 primarily concerned goods produced within the Union, the question arises whether the same constitutional principles also apply to restrictions imposed on goods coming from outside the Union. A second special problem, on the other hand, relates to export restrictions under Article 35. Section I discusses these special cases, while Section II subsequently explores the various exemptions and justifications for national measures considered to hinder intra-Union trade. According to the so-called ‘purely internal situation’ rule, the Court has traditionally exempted situations from the scope of both Articles 34 and 35 that were, as regards their facts, procedurally confined to a single Member State. This ‘procedural’ exemption was complemented by those substantive justifications expressly mentioned in Article 36, which were—after Cassis—themselves complemented by an unlimited number of ‘mandatory’ or ‘imperative’ requirements.

Full textAbstract:
Anaesthesia in ‘remote areas’ is required for medical imaging (CT, MRI, PET-CT), angiography, endoscopy, and interventions (stenting, thrombectomy, coiling, laser therapy, biopsies, radiotherapy) in a number of medical disciplines (paediatrics, radiology, cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, surgery, cardiac surgery, emergency medicine). The spectrum of anaesthetic techniques is broad. It reaches from standby (monitored anaesthesia care), through analgesia and sedation (with spontaneous breathing), to general anaesthesia and mechanical ventilation. Regional anaesthesia techniques are also required under certain circumstances. In the last few years there has been a move away from open procedures to interventional techniques. The complexity of these interventions has increased (i.e. interventional cardiac valve replacements) and the patients tend to be older and suffer from a multitude of co-morbidities. Many of these interventions are performed in the ‘hostile environment’ of the intervention suite. Intervention suites are typically not designed to offer anaesthetists an ideal working area. The space may be limited and medical equipment impedes access to the patient. The infrastructure may be suboptimal (e.g. no central medical gases supply). Protection for staff and equipment against radiation and high magnetic fields must be considered. Loud noise from machinery and shielded walls, doors, and windows may hinder communication and hearing acoustic alarms. The distance to the operating theatre may be considerable and thus support from senior anaesthetists and supply of additional equipment may take some time to arrive. Anaesthesia outside the operating theatre is sometimes underestimated as trivial. Performing a ‘quick’ interventional case can evolve within seconds into a challenge even for the experienced anaesthesiologist if a surgical or anaesthesiological complication occurs. Non-operating-theatre anaesthesia has a higher severity of injuries and more substandard care than operating theatre anaesthesia. This is not acceptable and anaesthetists must ensure the same high standard of anaesthesia care and patient safety both inside and outside the operating theatre.

Full textAbstract:
War captivity is an ideal observatory to address three interrelated questions. First, I argue that in order to understand what a prisoner of war was in the eighteenth century, from a legal viewpoint, we must forget what we know about this notion, as it has been shaped by twentieth-century international conventions. In the eighteenth century, the distinction between a prisoner of war, a hostage, a criminal and a slave was not always clear-cut, in theory and even more so in practice. Second, war captivity tells us something important about the eighteenth-century state, how it transformed itself, and why it endured. The third approach is a social history of international relations. The aim here is to understand how eighteenth-century societies were impacted by war: how the detention of foreign enemies on home soil revealed and challenged social values, representations, hierarchies, and practices. The book’s argument hinges on the experience of prisoners of war as the pivot of social relations within and outside the prison, between Britons and French and between prisoners and host communities. War does not simply destroy society, but it also creates new sorts of social ties.The book addresses a wide range of topics, such as the ethics of war, philanthropy, forced migrations, the sociology of the prison and the architecture of detention places. One of its strengths is the sheer magnitude and diversity of the archival material used, in English and in French, most of which have been little explored by other historians.

Chupin, Jean-Pierre. Analogical Thinking in Architecture. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350343658.
Full textAbstract:
Since the turn of the 21st century, “design thinking” has permeated many fields outside of the design disciplines. It is expected to succeed whenever disciplinary boundaries need to be transcended, and it is imperative when thinking “outside the box.” This book argues that these qualities have long been supported by “analogical thinking”—an agile way of reasoning in which symbolic connections allow designers to address the complexities of the design process. An active field in cognitive sciences, artificial intelligence, psychology, and philosophy, “analogical thinking” has yet to be theorized within the built environment. Analogical Thinking in Architecture looks at how this approach offers an agile way to respond to the heterogeneous, and often contradictory, value systems prevalent in architectural design. The book is organized into four case studies: the first reviews analogies in current models of design thinking; the second surveys the revivals of biological analogies from the 19th to the 21st century; the third probes cult architect Aldo Rossi’s theory of the Città Analoga (Analogous City); while the fourth uncovers the role of analogies in critical and theoretical writing. Offering a reappraisal of theories on the role of “analogical thinking” by prominent architects, including Rossi, Peter Eisenman, and Frederick Kiesler; historians Peter Colins and Philip Steadman; and theoreticians Geoffrey Broadbent, Colin Rowe, Peter G. Rowe, Chris Abel and Donald A. Schön; the book provides both a comprehensive introduction to the concept of “analogical thinking” in architecture and the first theorization of analogy specifically within the field of the built environment. This book explores in depth the rich and persistent use of analogical thinking in the built environment. Since the turn of the century, discourses on design thinking have permeated many fields beyond the design disciplines. Design thinking is expected to be helpful whenever disciplinary boundaries need to be transcended, whenever views of a situation to be transformed are conflicting rather than converging, and altogether when it is urgent to think outside the box. The present book argues that these needs have long been supported by analogical thinking: a fundamental capacity to think the unknown through the familiar. As an introduction to the multiple practical and theoretical functions of analogy this book centers on four studies. The first unveils the analogical models at the core of design thinking representations from the 1960s to today. The second study investigates the recurring power of biological analogies in the last two centuries and their culmination at the hinge of digital hypothesis and environmental expectations today. The third study explores the paradoxical imaginary of “analogous cities” as a means of integrating contemporary architecture with heritage contexts. The last study unpacks the critical and theoretical potential of linguistic metaphors and visual comparisons in architectural discourse. These complex visual and textual operations are illustrated by 25 figures and explained through 36 analogical plates. These can be read as an inter-text demonstrating how analogy has the power to reconcile design and theories. So doing, the analogical world of the project is revealed as a wide-open field of creative and cognitive interactions.

Draper, Scott. Religious Interaction Ritual. Lexington Books, 2019. https://doi.org/10.5040/9781978730441.
Full textAbstract:
This book is a microsociological study of religious practice, based on fieldwork with Conservative Jews, Bible Belt Muslims, white Baptists, black Baptists, Buddhist meditators, and Latino Catholics. In each case, the author scrutinizes how a congregation’s ritual strategies help or hinder their efforts to achieve a transformative spiritual encounter, an intense feeling that becomes the basis of their most fundamental understandings of reality. The book shows how these transformative spiritual encounters routinely depend on issues that can seem rather mundane by comparison, such as where the sanctuary’s entrance is located, how many misprints end up in the church bulletin, or how long the preacher continues to preach beyond lunchtime. The spirit responds to other dynamics, as well, such as how congregations collectively imagine outsiders, or how they talk about ideas like individualism and patriarchy. Building on provocative theories from sociologists such as Émile Durkheim, Erving Goffman, Randall Collins, and Anne Warfield Rawls, this book shows how “interaction ritual theory” opens compelling new pathways for sociological scholarship on religion. Micro-level specifics from fieldwork in Texas are supplemented with large-scale survey analysis of a wide array of religious organizations from across the United States.

Full textAbstract:
The period between the 16th and 18th centuries witnessed the expansion of European travel, trade and colonization around the globe, resulting in greatly increased contact between Westerners and peoples throughout the rest of the world. With the rise of print and the commercial book market, Europeans avidly consumed reports of the outside world and its various peoples, often in distorted or fictional forms. With the consolidation of new empirical science and taxonomy, prejudice against peoples of different colours and cultures during the 16th and 17th centuries became more systematic, giving rise to the doctrines of race ‘science.’ Although humanitarianism and the idea of human rights also flourished, inspiring the campaign to abolish the slave trade, this movement did not hinder imperialist expansion and the belief that humans could be ranked in a hierarchy that authorized White domination. The essays in this volume trace the complex pattern of intellectual and cultural change from popular bigotry in the Age of Shakespeare to the racial categories developed in the works of Buffon and Kant. These essays also link changes in racial thinking to other trends during this age. The development of modern ideas of race corresponded with emerging conceptions of the nation state; new acceptance of religious diversity became linked with speculations on racial diversity; transforming ideologies of gender and sexuality overlapped in crucial ways with developing racial attitudes. In many ways, the period between the Reformation and Enlightenment laid the foundations for modern racial thinking, generating issues and conflicts that still haunt us today.

Full textAbstract:
Without jargon or mathematical theory to hinder a quick understanding and use, here are the research tools and techniques you can grasp and immediately apply to obtain research services from others or do research yourself. Johnson makes clear that to succeed in any public agency management position, you have to be able to think analytically and know how to assess the quality of research results. By providing the underlying concepts and just enough methodology to operationalize them, she gives you exactly what you need—in a clear, straightforward way that takes the fear out of learning. You will find here an especially wide range of practical guidelines and examples, all from the author's own and others' experiences in a variety of settings within the public sector. Throughout her book she emphasizes the how of research—how to do it, how to make sense of its findings—and covers all the basic statistical tools, concetrating steadily on interpreting research results. An important, reader-friendly text for students of public administration, and for their often perplexed colleagues already on the job. Johnson explains that public administrators do not do research themselves all that often. But with the rising demand for results measurement, balancing scorecards, benchmarking and assessing customer satisfaction, they do need to understand the basics of what research is and at least have more than just a glimmer of how it is done. Her book offers both—a simple, easily grasped presentation of research concepts and principles, plus all of the essentials of doing program evaluation, policy analysis, and applied social science. It is especially useful as a text in such courses as research methods, program evaluation and introduction to applied statistics, usually found in public administration programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. And for people already in jobs outside the academic community, people who are now asked to do tasks that they seldom did before—and never expected they would be asked to do—it is essential.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe provincial governments of Papua and West Papua have expressed their commitments and enacted policies to develop Papua Land in a sustainable manner through the issuance of Papua 2100 Vision, the 2019 Manokwari Declaration, and the ‘green’ spatial plan of Papua province. However, the implementation of these policies in balancing protection of forests and improvement of livelihood of indigenous Papuans has been slow. By employing a political economy approach, the study explores how interactions between the political economy structure, institutions, and actors have resulted in slow implementation of such commitments, particularly in reviewing the compliance of land-based industry licenses and acknowledging customary (adat) areas. The study was conducted between February 2020 and March 2021 and encompassed approximately 50 key informant interviews – including donors, civil society organizations, adat leaders, national and subnational governments, observers, academics, and journalists – and document review. The findings of this study suggest that the reform is mainly driven by development partners and limited numbers of bureaucrats that align with the indigenous Papuans’ interest to protect their land from outsiders. The small coalitions were successful in focusing their effort to enact green policies in the two provinces. However, the study highlights constraints faced by these actors to turn the policies into actions: (1) the existence of wide array of powerful actors – non-Papuans and Papuans – with strong economic and political interests identified at central, provincial, and regency level to hinder the enforcement of problematic land-based licenses and clarify adat areas; (2) the absence of broad-based political support. These have hampered the implementation of the green policies under the two aspects above. This study recommends reviewing policy at the national level to create enabling environment for green policies implementation in both provinces, e.g., to review the Omnibus Law, supporting the regency-level actors to accelerate issuance of the perda PPMHA and local-level regulations on adat-managed areas, supporting licenses review in Southern part of Papua Province to limit the operation of these businesses to expand in forest areas and disrespect adat rights over their lands, and exploring engagement with the opposing parties at all administrative level.

During the Progressive Era, a number of cities and states outside the Deep South eventually barred mixed bouts. To be sure, white lawmakers wanted to protect white superiority. Each black victory in the ring against white opponents--and there were plenty by black men--stripped away at the notion of white male social and political authority, a confidence that partly hinged on whites’ racial belief in physical superiority. Whiteness had no value if it could not be proven.

This chapter discusses how the long-term success of converts required reworking relationships with preconversion families and lives. Pentecostal rupture with the unconverted world in practice was not ever complete. Converts' success hinged on the uncertain prospect of exchanging spiritual capital gained in the ministry for the local currency of their fragile families. Ironically, those converts who had more resources before conversion were often those who could best capitalize on their new Christian relationships, their identities and authority both inside and outside of the ministries. Thus, the radical egalitarianism of each saved soul's worth was continually undercut by differential access in the present material world.

Full textAbstract:
Learners with special educational needs are faced with multiplicities of challenges in and outside school environments. These challenges range from social, psychological, emotional to academics. The problems are often compounded when learners with special needs find themselves in rural communities where knowledge, understanding and pedagogical skills are lacking by teachers. It then beholds on teachers to advance his or her teaching by creatively managing the curriculum to meet the diverse needs of students with special educational needs under his or her instructional watch. This work anchors on Rogers’ diffusion theory in education. This theory was used as a conceptual model to understand how teachers implement the innovations they had learned. The basic element of Rogers’s diffusion theory in education hinged on innovation decision process namely: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation and confirmation. In view of these, teachers as critical stakeholders should prepare to manage curriculum to meet needs of learners with special needs in Nigeria rural communities through creative adaptation of curriculum in view of diverse learners, flexible pedagogical application, in-depth knowledge of instructional contents, resilience, encouraging and managing innovation as well collaboration and accommodation to promote all-inclusiveness in instructional delivery and knowledge acquisition by the students.

Chapter three begins with a discussion of the (disputed) decline of activism within the community sector in favour of more ‘gloves on’ approaches which work inside institutions for change. This story of decline often hinges on neoliberalism, told as either a tale of submission or resistance to neoliberal ideology. To explore how else community organisations work for social change, this chapter focuses on the connection between emotion and alternative organising. Drawing on Sara Ahmed, emotion is understood as part of ‘world-making’ and as a possible way to increase institutional responsibility for victims of violence or inequality.

Full textAbstract:
Michael T. Bernath examines an incident of mob action against two northern teachers in South Carolina following John Brown’s raid in 1859. At the time, “the excitement at Boggy Swamp” attracted national attention, and historians since have cited it to show the anti-abolitionist hysteria that swept the South. On closer inspection, however, there was something strange about what happened at Boggy Swamp. Those who demanded the expulsion of the teachers were primarily non-enslaving yeomen and they were resisted, by force of arms, by the enslaving planters who employed the teachers. What the excitement at Boggy Swamp and the war of words that followed truly revealed were the ways in which sectional tensions could be exploited in the service of class conflict and pre-existing personal animosities. The controversy hinged upon the unique place that northern teachers occupied within antebellum southern society. Given their attachment to powerful enslaving families, teachers enjoyed a certain degree of protection, except at moments like these when sectional hostilities permitted others to target them as proxies for their wealthy patrons, all in the name of southern rights and the protection of slavery. What appeared to be a conflict between insiders and outsiders was in fact a complicated internal struggle with far deeper roots than Harpers Ferry.

Full textAbstract:
In Europe and other advanced medical communities, medical gases are generally supplied by pipeline, with cylinders available as back up. Large hospitals usually have oxygen supplied and stored in liquid form, since one volume of it provides 840 volumes of gaseous oxygen at 15◦C. It is stored in a secure Vacuum Insulated Evaporator (VIE) on the hospital site. The arrangement is shown in Figure 22.1. The VIE consists of an insulated container, the inner layer of which is made of stainless steel, the outer of which is made of carbon steel. The liquid oxygen is stored in the inner container at about−160◦C (lower than the critical temperature of−118◦C) at a pressure of between 700 and 1200 kPa. There is a vapour withdrawal line at the top of the VIE, from which oxygen vapour can go via a restrictor to a superheater, where the gas is heated towards ambient temperature. Where demand exceeds supply from this route, there is also a liquid withdrawal line from the bottom of the VIE, from which liquid oxygen can be withdrawn; the liquid can be made to join the vapour line downstream of the restrictor and pass either through the superheater or back to the top of the VIE. The liquid can also be made to pass through an evaporator before joining the vapour line. After passing through the superheater, the oxygen vapour is passed through a series of pressure regulators to drop the pressure down to the distribution pipeline pressure of 410 kPa. It should be remembered that no insulation is perfect and there is a pressure relief valve on top of the VIE in case lack of demand and gradual temperature rise results in a pressure build up in the container. There is a filling port and there is usually considerable wastage in filling the VIE; the delivery hose needs to be cooled to below the critical temperature, using the tanker liquid oxygen itself to cool the delivery pipe. The whole VIE device is mounted on a hinged weighing scale and is situated outside the hospital building, protected by a caged enclosure, which also houses two banks of reserve cylinders.

Full textAbstract:
By the 1960s, a greater interest in the social and economic role of hillforts demanded more extensive excavation of their interiors. Whilst fieldwork was still dependent on volunteer labour and limited research funds, the expense of large-scale stripping by hand would have been prohibitive, and only with public funding of ‘rescue’ or ‘salvage’ excavation in advance of development was it practical to contemplate large-scale area excavation. Hillforts that were extensively excavated included Balksbury (Wainwright 1969; Wainwright and Davies 1995; Ellis and Rawlings 2001) and Winklebury (Smith 1977; Robertson-Mackay 1977; Fisher 1985) in Hampshire. Whilst large-scale examination of hillfort interiors is plainly essential to an understanding of their economic and social functions, there is a high probability that ephemeral features, the foundations of which did not penetrate into subsoil or bedrock, will be destroyed by mechanical stripping, if they have not already been damaged beyond retrieval by ploughing. So the question remains: how partial and therefore potentially misleading are the surviving plans of hillfort interiors thus exposed? Hillfort exteriors, arguably equally important to an understanding of the role of the enclosure as its interior, have been even more neglected, first because of an implicit assumption that the earthworks defined the area of the ‘site’, and second, because the logistical problems of excavating outside the limits of the ramparts increased exponentially with distance from the enclosure. The possibility, indeed probability, of activity contemporary with the occupation of the hillfort having extended beyond the limits of the rampart need not necessarily imply a social division between acropolis and polis on the eastern Mediterranean model. It simply requires a redefinition of the concept of what constituted the ‘site’ in which the enclosure earthworks are not the definitive criterion. The issue was identified more than thirty years ago (Harding 1979; Hingley 1980), and excavation and survey at Battlesbury Camp, Wiltshire (Ellis and Powell 2008) and Castle Hill, Little Wittenham (Allen et al. 2011), has shown its importance for future research. There are three principal, non-intrusive ways of investigating hillfort interiors and immediate exteriors. The first is by surface survey, not in itself as simple as may appear at first sight, since detecting and meaningfully depicting the highly fugitive traces of prehistoric occupation requires an experienced eye, sensitive to the residual surface signs of constructional activity.

The chapter relates that although Johnny Hodges was primarily associated with Duke Ellington over the course of his career, he made some of his most famous recordings—sometimes under pseudonyms owing to contractual restrictions—with other bandleaders. Although Ellington was sometimes criticized for taking credit (and royalties) that should have been shared with others, he was generous in allowing his musicians to earn extra money by playing outside dates. Hodges’s work with pianist Teddy Wilson and a young Billie Holiday is described; these sessions introduced her to listeners and produced records that featured her singing when it was still fresh. Hodges and Wilson joined forces again behind singer Mildred Bailey. Hodges was included in a Lionel Hampton recording session that produced one of his most famous solos, “On the Sunny Side of the Street.” During the 1930s he would also record with Woody Herman and Earl Hines, among others.

Abstract This paper presents the numerical and experimental study of a new spring mechanism adapted to a cone-shaped point absorber wave energy converter (WEC). The WEC is intended to be hinged to a floating wind platform with a long arm to create a combined wind and wave harvesting concept. The main objective of the spring mechanism is to improve the platform restoring moments against the wind thrust forces, generated by the wind turbine while contributing to wave energy harvesting. However, the study is presented for the case where the WEC dynamics is investigated outside the platform and attached to a fixed frame, to validate the mathematical model of the WEC concept. Moreover, the impact on the power harvesting performance is investigated with and without negative springs in this scenario.

A theoretical model, based on the existing model from Denham is proposed to determine the maximum projection length. The behavior of the tank, specifically near the bottom is studied till failure using FEA. The formation of plastic hinges in the bottom plate on the inside and outside of this joint is discussed in detail. The validity of the assumptions made by Karcher with regard to plastic hinges for obtaining the expression for the design life cycle in elevated temperature tanks is briefly analyzed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Network Interface Unit is a module of electronics mounted on the side of homes which carries broadband information, including voice, video, and data. The packaging goals are to provide for environmental protection along with EMI shielding for the electronics with inherent reliability’s providing for up to 20 years in life, at extremely low costs. The packaging approach involves providing a double enclosure concept utilizing injection molded plastics. The design provides for snap-fit features which allows for mounting of the printed circuit board and a one-time-only snap-fit of the inside enclosure with no seals, screws, or gaskets to minimize assembly costs. The inside plastic components provide for fire resistance (UL-94-5VA), high heat resistance, and shielding while the outside plastic enclosure provides for chemical resistance, impact resistance, (low temperature) and ultraviolet resistance. The outside enclosure provides for a hinge and skirt which allows for shielding of the internal plastic components against ultraviolet exposure. There is also a tongue and groove seal which provides for moisture resistance.

The article discusses a Living Space designed and implemented at UFF Engineering's School. Coordinated by the Industrial Design Course of that School. In a participatory manner, students from Engineering, Design and Architecture, Professors and administrative technicians worked to create the Space. In 2019 we were invited by the Management of the School of Engineering to think about a Coworking Living Space for the Academic Community. The School had been approached by the UFF Rector's Team with a proposal to enhance the students' mental health. It was reported that one of the needs was to belong to different living spaces, outside the classroom. In this way, they saw the possibility of creating multifunctional space for complementary to the classes. The space presented is located in the corridor that had been a deposit of furniture discarded by the School. Thus, there was infiltration, little light. In addition to the Visual Identity of the place, the Design team planned furniture from the discarded material, which fit in the place and did not hinder the flow of people, were of low cost, low environmental impact and invited to use.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Coronary artery disease can be caused by partial or total occlusions of the coronaries, leading to cardiac ischemia. Today, the percutaneous implantation of stents is the most common treatment to open such blockages and thus restore oxygen delivery to the myocardium. Subsequent stent calcification or restenosis may hinder the effectiveness of these stents over time. The Visible Heart® Laboratories have a collection of 30 perfusion-fixed human hearts that had a total of 35 such intervention prior to organ donation. Micro computed tomography (micro CT) can be used to study the device-tissue interfaces of stents implanted up to decades prior to recovery. These procedures were scanned with approximately 40-micron resolution. Computational models were generated such that calcification and restenosis could be visualized and quantified. Within this unique data-set, there was a wide variety of stent length, location, and volume of calcification present. Although 90% of the cases had varying degree of calcification present outside the stent only 11% showed any degree of restenosis. This is a unique research opportunity to micro CT scan 35 cases of therapeutically implanted stents in perfusion-fixed specimens. Extensive visualizations and analyses can be performed on generated computational 3D models, so to provide for better understanding of the variations within the device-tissue interfaces of therapeutically implanted stents.

Full textAbstract:
In the development of miniature opening and closing mechanism, piezoelectric element has been used as its actuator. This mechanism, however, tends to become larger and complicated as it needs a mechanism for displacement enlargement because of the infinitesimal output displacement. Therefore, an attempt applying buckling phenomenon of long column to the opening and closing mechanism of finger has been made. An elastic member with a long strip shape was bent in the shape of M character, both ends fixed and reciprocating translational drive was imparted to the V-shaped common portion at the center. As a result, a simple miniature gripper with large rate of bending displacement at the finger tip to a translational displacement at the center, namely the enlargement rate of the displacement, has been developed. In this study, in addition to the element technology development for product, such improvements as increasing of the rate of gripping force to driving tensile force on the finger, that is, gripping efficiency were aimed. The results obtained are as follows. (1) Hinge joints on supporting portions at both ends or the mid common portion of the fingers decrease the driving tensile force beginning to grip. They, however, little contribute to the improvement of the gripping efficiency. (2) Crossing an operating member at the center in the shape of × character so as to enlarge an angle of the operating members to the finger increases the gripping efficiency. The enlargement rate of the displacement, however, decreases, so that the angle should be decided based on the object. (3) Free support of an intermediate portion on a lateral surface of the finger allows the change of the gripping efficiency. When bending deformation outside at the center in length of the finger is restrained, the gripping efficiency increases by about 2 times.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools are placed in the bottomhole assembly (BHA) at the lowest part of the drillstring, which are used for measuring formation properties during the excavation of the hole, or shortly thereafter. These formation properties can include spectral gamma ray, neutron, porosity, resistivity, and many others. With the tools being pushed to complete wells faster and cheaper, drilling conditions are becoming increasingly harsh. A variety of downhole vibration modes that hinder efficient drilling could occur and create wasted energy that is unusable to cut formation. Among them, BHA whirl is one of the undesired motions which can be faced during drilling operations, where the BHA follows an eccentric rotation about a point along the wellbore other than the geometric center. BHA whirl can be one of the most destructive types of drilling dynamics. For example, the lateral motion induced shock and vibration can be propagated from the outside collar to the inside chassis of the tool and damage the expensive electronics or other measurement devices. Therefore, having a reasonably accurate numerical model that can be used to understand and predict the lateral motion of a tool is highly demanded to mitigate the risks associated with the effect of whirl on measurement quality and health of the drilling tools. This study focuses on simulating the most seen backward whirl scenario where the center of the motion rotates in the opposite direction of the drill string. A high-fidelity 3D finite element analysis (FEA) model that can capture the contact interaction between the outside collar and internal chassis of the tool and between the tool and wellbore is developed to predict the lateral motion of the drilling tool in the presence of backward whirl. A roll test system (i.e., a tubular assembly rolls along the inner wall of an impact ring while spinning with a drive motor) instrumented with accelerometers, strain gauges and high-speed cameras is also developed to mimic such dynamics that the tool could experience while drilling in a controlled lab environment. The measurements collected from the accelerometer and strain gauge are analyzed and the videos recorded with the high speed camera is processed with computer vision to experimentally determine the motion trajectory and characteristics. Excellent agreement is observed between experimental motion data and the predictions from the developed FEA model, which validates the FEA model. The validated numerical model can be very useful for fit-for-basin virtual qualification of new drilling tools and for post-run root cause analysis of drilling tool failures.

ABSTRACT Background: The breastfeeding practice of primiparous mothers in developed and developing countries is influenced by various factors. The breastfeeding factor for primiparous mothers is closely related to their initial experience of giving breast milk to success and failure in achieving exclusive breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that influence primiparous mothers in giving exclusive breastfeeding. Subjects and Methods: This scoping review uses an electronic bibliographic database method. Articles were obtained from 5 databases, namely Science Direct, PubMed, EBSCO, Wiley and ProQuest conducted systematically from 2009 to 2019. Articles used in this scoping review were described in the Prefered Reporting System of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) flowchart. Results: Based on 8 articles from 421 articles obtained showed that internal factors come from the mother herself and external factors that come from outside the mother were related in giving exclusive breastfeeding. Internal factors include the initial response of primiparous mothers in exclusive breastfeeding, maternal psychology when giving exclusive breastfeeding, coping with primiparous mothers during the process of giving exclusive breastfeeding, commitment of primiparous mothers to exclusive breastfeeding. Maternal external factors include social support for primiparous mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding and socio-culture to primiparous mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The most influential internal factor is the primiparous mother’s psychological factor. The most influential external factor is socio-culture. There are still many countries that adhere to socio-culture which can hinder the process of exclusive breastfeeding.

Full textAbstract:
Autoethnography challenges positivistic research methodologies and assumptions of researcher neutrality. It embraces uncertainty, messiness, and emotion, and has the potential to acknowledge the interconnectedness of architecture with social, economic, and political realities. Drawing from Elizabeth Ettorre’s Autoethnography as Feminist Practice: Sensitizing the Feminist “I”, this paper suggests that through autoethnographic processes, architects can resist the urge to quantify and categorize, and instead embrace the narrative- building potential of personal revelations and vulnerability.The paper acknowledges the safety and familiarity that static roles provide but argues that these roles hinder progress. It emphasizes the importance of dismantling the myth of the singular genius and instead advocates for an understanding of architecture as a collaborative endeavor. By being reflexive about their shifting status and relational positions, architects and architectural educators can create space for diverse voices and expertise to contribute to the design and production process.Drawing on examples from contemporary architectural practices, and adjacent fields, such as product design and cultural geography, the paper demonstrates the potential power of autoethnography. It emphasizes the importance of situated perspectives, connecting personal experiences to larger social contexts. Prompted by Etorre, by occupying the space of the “in-between” and acknowledging the “personal is political,” architects can foster connection, empathy, and collective meaning-making.Autoethnography serves as a device for architects to occupy the space of an “inside-outsider,” enabling the exploration of alternative practice and pedagogical models. By engaging in self-reflection, architects can cultivate mutual empathy and construct shared narratives, ultimately redefining the role of the architect in collaborative processes, unlocking new possibilities for collaboration, and transforming the understanding of authorship.

Full textAbstract:
Fibrinogens New York I and la (NY-I and NY-la) have been purified from blood plasma samples of a^ sister and a brother in a white family with thrombotic tendency. Both are heterozygous and contain both thrombin-clottable fibrinogen with two normal Bβ-chains and thrombin-nonclottable fibrinogen with two abnormal Bβ chains. The abnormal β-chains result- fran deletions of ammo acid residues 9-72, which are encoded exactly by exon II of the gene. To study the genomic disorder for this deletion, gencmic DNAs were isolated respectively from leukocytes of NY-la, NY-Ib (a nonaffected brother), and four normal individuals outside the NY-I family, and analysed in Southern blotting experiments with a human gencmic DNA probe containing exons I-V. Digestion of various DNAs were performed with two different restriction enzymes, and these digestions were analyzed respectively by agrose electroptoresis.Digestion with Hind III reveals 3 cleavage sites (one site in intron A near exon II)witn formation of two fragments of equal size (2 bands : 3.1kb and 3.1 kb) in normal, NY-la and NY-Id, but an extra fragment (one band = 6.0 kb) in NY-Ia.Digestion with Pvu II reveals 3 cleavage sites (one site in exonII) with formation of two fragments (2 bands : 7.5 kb and 2.9kb)m normal, NY-Ia and NY-Ib, but an extra fragment (one band - 5.7 kb) in NY-Ia. These results show that one Hind III and one Pvu II cleavage sites which are present in the normal allele are absent in the abnormal allele of NY-Ia. Thus, these studies indicate that generic disorder is associated with the patient (NY-Ia) with a thrombotic tendency, and further suggest that the genomic defect in the aonormal allele is near the junction of intron A and exon II. A possible mechanism for this genomic disorder is due to that an inverse double crossover have taken place in a region covering this junction, resulting in m abnormal RNA-splicing site in this junction. Thus, exon II is eliminated with intron A during RNA processing and absent in the abnormal rnRNA. Accordingly, the β(9-72) amino acid sequence disappears from one abnromal β-chains.

However, this can only happen if they become active and frequent users of the minority languages they have learnt. In many contexts, this is not the case. Taking Frisian in Fryslân as a case study, this blog post examines new speakers’ activation (the process by which they become active and habitual minority language users) – focusing specifically on how this is affected by traditional minority language speakers’ behaviours. The findings highlight how the complex dynamics between traditional and new speakers can hinder the latter’s activation. The blog post discusses the implications of these findings, concluding that there is a need for prestige planning to ameliorate intergroup relations – and thereby foster new speakers’ activation and promote minority language revitalisation.

Under the United Nations Charter, the U.N. Security Council has several important functions and powers, not least with regard to taking binding actions to maintain international peace and security. The ten elected members have the opportunity to influence this area and others during their two-year terms on the Council. In this paper, we aim to illustrate some of these opportunities, identify potential guidance from prior elected members’ experiences, and outline the key procedures that incoming elected members should be aware of as they prepare to join the Council. In doing so, we seek in part to summarize the current state of scholarship and policy analysis in an effort to make this material more accessible to States and, particularly, to States’ legal advisers. We drafted this paper with a view towards States that have been elected and are preparing to join the Council, as well as for those States that are considering bidding for a seat on the Council. As a starting point, it may be warranted to dedicate resources for personnel at home in the capital and at the Mission in New York to become deeply familiar with the language, structure, and content of the relevant provisions of the U.N. Charter. That is because it is through those provisions that Council members engage in the diverse forms of political contestation and cooperation at the center of the Council’s work. In both the Charter itself and the Council’s practices and procedures, there are structural impediments that may hinder the influence of elected members on the Security Council. These include the permanent members’ veto power over decisions on matters not characterized as procedural and the short preparation time for newly elected members. Nevertheless, elected members have found creative ways to have an impact. Many of the Council’s “procedures” — such as the “penholder” system for drafting resolutions — are informal practices that can be navigated by resourceful and well-prepared elected members. Mechanisms through which elected members can exert influence include the following: Drafting resolutions; Drafting Presidential Statements, which might serve as a prelude to future resolutions; Drafting Notes by the President, which can be used, among other things, to change Council working methods; Chairing subsidiary bodies, such as sanctions committees; Chairing the Presidency; Introducing new substantive topics onto the Council’s agenda; and Undertaking “Arria-formula” meetings, which allow for broader participation from outside the Council. Case studies help illustrate the types and degrees of impact that elected members can have through their own initiative. Examples include the following undertakings: Canada’s emphasis in 1999–2000 on civilian protection, which led to numerous resolutions and the establishment of civilian protection as a topic on which the Council remains “seized” and continues to have regular debates; Belgium’s effort in 2007 to clarify the Council’s strategy around addressing natural resources and armed conflict, which resulted in a Presidential Statement; Australia’s efforts in 2014 resulting in the placing of the North Korean human rights situation on the Council’s agenda for the first time; and Brazil’s “Responsibility while Protecting” 2011 concept note, which helped shape debate around the Responsibility to Protect concept. Elected members have also influenced Council processes by working together in diverse coalitions. Examples include the following instances: Egypt, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, and Uruguay drafted a resolution that was adopted in 2016 on the protection of health-care workers in armed conflict; Cote d’Ivoire, Kuwait, the Netherlands, and Sweden drafted a resolution that was adopted in 2018 condemning the use of famine as an instrument of warfare; Malaysia, New Zealand, Senegal, and Venezuela tabled a 2016 resolution, which was ultimately adopted, condemning Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory; and A group of successive elected members helped reform the process around the imposition of sanctions against al-Qaeda and associated entities (later including the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), including by establishing an Ombudsperson. Past elected members’ experiences may offer some specific pieces of guidance for new members preparing to take their seats on the Council. For example, prospective, new, and current members might seek to take the following measures: Increase the size of and support for the staff of the Mission to the U.N., both in New York and in home capitals; Deploy high-level officials to help gain support for initiatives; Partner with members of the P5 who are the informal “penholder” on certain topics, as this may offer more opportunities to draft resolutions; Build support for initiatives from U.N. Member States that do not currently sit on the Council; and Leave enough time to see initiatives through to completion and continue to follow up after leaving the Council.
