Abstract:

This study questions why World War III (WWIII) has not happened in more than 75 years since World War II (WWII). World War I (WWI) and WWII were among the most significant events of the 20th century in political and military terms. However, the process that ended with WWI and WWII had started at least in the 19th century. The imbalance in the international area, uneven armament, lack of the global economic market, and non-existence of international organizations triggered WWI and WWII. In this regard, this study analyzes the lack of WWIII through two main theories of International Relations (IR). The economic interdependence and the emergence of the global market from the liberal perspective as well as the international law and organizations and increasing armament and balance of terror through realism have been used to understand why there is no WWIII yet.

Abstract:

Several series of batch and continuous experiments were performed to investigate the removal of metformin and other contaminants from two wastewaters: wastewater I (WWI) containing 4 mg/L metformin and wastewater II (WWII) containing 110 g/L butanol. Biomethane potential (BMP) tests on WWII showed 77% of total chemical oxygen demand (tCOD = 110 g/L) degradability, and no apparent inhibition effects were observed. BMP tests on WWI showed an apparent inhibitory effect reflected in lower biogas production with increasing metformin concentration in the wastewater. Continuous flow hybrid vertical anaerobic biofilm (HyVAB®) experiments were consistent with the batch test findings. It was necessary to co-digest WWI (metformin) with WWII (easily degradable organics) to achieve complete metformin removal. After a period of adaptation, WWI and WWII co-digestion achieved up to 98% tCOD removal and 100% metformin removal. Most of the contaminants were removed in the anaerobic section of the HyVAB®, which implies that higher chemical oxygen demand (COD) loads than tested here are possible, given some optimization. The pilot reactor was able to manage organic loads of 11 g COD/d and above 10 mg/L metformin with a removal of 98% and 100% for tCOD and metformin, respectively.

Abstract:

Ernest Barker wrote two books on the political thought of Plato, both of which were also directly related to his study of the political thought of Aristotle. This essay examines the way Barkers readings of Plato changed, first from the earlier to the later of his two books, and then from the later of these books, written during WWI, to his translation of Aristotles Politics, written during WWII. The contention is that, as Barker himself partly confessed, WWI led him to read hopes into Platos works that he not had before and that he abandoned in WWII. This shift in reading Plato was essentially a shift in Barkers allegiance to political Hegelianism (of the sort he imbibed from T.H. Green), which, while it intensified during WWI, had given way entirely to a thoroughly English Whig Constitutionalism by the end of WWII. The abandonment of Hegel enabled Barker to reach not only a better understanding of Plato in his Aristotle book but also a better and more wry understanding of German philosophy.

Abstract:

The Bitburg Controversy from the New Cold War Perspective: Reagan’s Views on WWII Nazi Germany’s Soldiers’ Victimhood Why to go back to 1985 to discuss present-day key concerns of international relations fromthe perspective of World War II history during the Cold War? The May 5, 1985 Bitburg cemetery celebrations, when US president altogether with German chancellor (Helmut Kohl) paid tribute to WWII veterans (of both sides of the conflict) was an example of the Ronald Reagan administration’s public relations fiasco: the “Great Communicator” failed to refer to WWII history in a manner that would save him from harsh criticism. Importantly, the 1985 debate concerning the Bitburg ceremony and the moral aspects of a homage to German (Axis) WWII soldiers gave an incentive to “Historikerstreit” in Germany, a dispute regarding WWII history in a manner comparable to Holocaust responsibility as a collective burden carried by Germans. The Bitburg cemetery, since the 1930s a monument (Kolmeshöhe Ehrenfriedhof) to WWI German military victims, and then to their younger colleagues during WWII (Wehrmacht and, controversially, Waffen-SS) remained a broadly commented upon focal point of Cold War disputes, allowing such questions that might bring about a possibilityof ground-breaking change in present-day political rivalries caused by failed (or successful) Cold War propaganda related to WWII choices. The Bitburg case as a particularly illustrative one and could also shed more light on the post-Soviet Russian effort to increase its influence by relying on the myths of the “Great Patriotic War”.

Abstract:

World War I (WWI) and World War II (WWII) both presented physicians with challenges unseen before in history. New inventions such as the machine gun and poisonous gas in WWI and the massive aircraft battles in WWII required physicians and surgeons to adapt and innovate to provide the best care and preventative measures for service members. One physician, Malcolm Cummings Grow, distinguished himself as an innovator, a researcher, and a leader. His contributions to the field of military medicine, flight surgery, and medical administration led to countless lives being saved during the two World Wars and laid the groundwork for many different combat protective equipment still in use today.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground:Several studies have suggested that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is related to adverse health outcomes. There are limited data on PTSD and cancer, which has a long latency period. We investigated the association between World War II (WWII)-related PTSD and subsequent breast cancer (BC) risk among Jewish WWII survivors and examined whether this association was modified by exposure to hunger during WWII.Methods:We compared 65 BC patients diagnosed in 2005 through 2010 to 200 population-based controls who were members of various organizations for Jewish WWII survivors in Israel. All participants were born in Europe, lived at least six months under Nazi rule during WWII, and immigrated to Israel after the war. We estimated PTSD using the PTSD Inventory and applied logistic regression models to estimate the association between WWII-related PTSD and BC, adjusting for potential confounders.Results:We observed a linear association between WWII-related PTSD and BC risk. This association remained significant following adjustment for potential confounders, including obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, age during WWII, hunger exposure during WWII, and total number of traumatic life events (OR = 2.89, 95% CI = 1.14–7.31). However, the level of hunger exposure during WWII modified this effect significantly.Conclusions:These findings suggest an independent association between WWII-related PTSD and subsequent BC risk in Jewish WWII survivors that is modified by hunger, a novel finding. Future research is needed to further explore these findings.

Abstract:

In 2008 the Campus of the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) was entered into the register of monuments. The Research Pavilion, so called Building A, is the oldest of the campus buildings. It was constructed between WWI and WWII according to the design of Jan Koszczyc-Witkiewicz, one of the most renowned contemporary architects. During WWII, immediately after the end of the Warsaw Uprising, the Germans burnt down this building despite the signed capitulation agreement guaranteeing the protection of Polish national heritage monuments. The building accommodated at that time the archives of Polish pre-war state institutions, which were completely destroyed. The building was reconstructed after the WWII as a results of the efforts of the university authorities and personal involvement of Professor Stanisław Skrzywan. The paper presents the process of reconstruction of the listed building based on archive sources - the Archives of the capital city of Warsaw (the archives of the Capital Reconstruction Bureau)and SGH Archives (the minutes from meetings of the SGH Senate), the memoires and contemporary press

Abstract:

The research investigates on the fate of the Jewish-owned Cultural Heritage during WWII in Italy and In the particular in Florence and its Province. Starting from the Report of the Anselmi Commission published in 2001 and of the publication of L’Opera da Ritrovare in which is listed the heritage still missing from WWII, the research addresses the issues left pending regarding the management, the transfer, the appropriation, the protection and the looting of the artworks and artistic objects owned by the Italian and foreign Jews during the war. The anti-Jewish legislation. Especially under the Social Italian Republic, had a drastic effects on the property rights and assets. When the Nation provisions were applied from the beginning of 1944, the confiscation orders listed everything: not only silverware, real estate, land, carpets, household objects and personal effects, but also artworks & valuable objects. But in many cases the provisions have acted quite outside the law, engaging pillages and forced appropriation of artworks, for the most part, subsequently proved untraceable. The decisions made the institutions and local public bodies, as the Florentine Head of Province and Prefecture, not only flew in the dace of individual rights but also revealed the clear temptation to become an accomplices of the illegality, or even to act for their own personal advantage. To understand the complexity of this political and cultural climate, the research plan was to predicate upon a precise choice: to consult as many sources as possible in order to throw light on events that involved both individuals and institutions. Crossing the data of the documentation conserved in the Central Archive of the State and in the Florentine public archives with that of the Jewish community and of the heirs of the persecuted, the study re-frame the fate of art and book collections collected in Florence and its Province. Every single collection that the research investigated had a really personal story of taste, value and fate during and after the war. What they have in common is the fact that the all the collections were transferred from the right owners to others possessors – Fascists, Nazis, or common people, inside and outside the city. The result of the investigation through various archival funds shows clearly the right responsibilities amongst individuals and the institutions. In the frame is fundamental the role of the Superintendence of the Galleries of Florence, that while through inefficient regulatory instruments, tried to limit the misappropriation of the many important collections conserved in the Jewish and ‘enemy subjects’ house. The looting that took place in Florence are not limited in the cases that I’m presenting in this research. The information do not reflect the full scale of the seizures that occurred with regard to the cultural Jewish property; many objects of lesser artistic value, quite untraceable yesterday like today, were transfer in/out the city for all the duration of the war and post. The caution becomes necessary when listing the property that has definitely been lost or recovered. The investigation, especially in the criminal trials’ funds, demonstrates that it is determinant do supplementary analysis of acts of despoilment where the ultimate fate of the material seized is still unknown. The research on the Florentine case, due to its complexity, pretend to became a model to be apply in the rest of the country where the attention is not yet focused on this issue. Based on a massive archival investigation through different funds of many archives and on the consolidated international guidelines, the research provides a new prospective of the Italian Shoah studies and in the Nazi Era Looted Art field.

Abstract:

This thesis integrates archaeological survey, aerial photographs and historical documents to undertake the first analysis of the conflict landscapes and military history of some of the most important German logistics facilities in northern France during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. Post-war survival of features has been remarkably good in this forested setting and this likely constitutes one of the best- preserved and most extensive examples of a non-hardened WWII archaeological landscape yet documented in northwest Europe. Over 900 discrete archaeological earthworks have been mapped and interpreted with the aid of primary source material from both Allied and German archives to characterise munitions, fuel and rations depots in the Forêt Domaniale des Andaines around Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, Orne Département, Basse-Normandie. These landscapes also preserve bomb craters associated with air raids on the facilities by the US Ninth Air Force and these have been mapped and analysed to show that despite 46 separate attacks by over 1000 aircraft, and the dropping in excess of 1100 tons of bombs in the forest during the spring and summer of 1944, the depots continued to function and to support German Army operations until the area was occupied by American forces in August 1944. In some areas of the forest it has been possible to link discrete arrays of bomb craters to individual air raids and even specific flights of aircraft. This work is yielding new perspectives on the character and operation of fixed depots in the German logistics system in Normandy both before and during the battles of 1944, while also permitting a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of Allied intelligence gathering, targeting and bombing operations against forest-based supply facilities. In doing so it is making a unique contribution to the newly-emerging record of WWII conflict archaeology to be found in the forests of northwest Europe.

Abstract:

The thesis examines the public discourse on race, foreignness, ethnic diversity, inclusion of "new Canadians" in the Canadian national community, and the meaning of "Canadianism" during the WWII years, from 1939 to 1945, and maps the dialectic course of its construction by the Canadian mainstream intellectual and political elite (mostly Anglo-Saxon and Protestant) and the Liberal government in place. The pre-WWII years were marked by noteworthy official disinterest in "Canadianizing" newcomers and by a latent "racialization" of diversity mostly articulated on the basis of "foreignness" or cultural "strangeness" of so-called "racial" origins of non-British and non-French immigrants. With the outset of war, the "we vs. they" polarization, until then specifically implying on the political scene the British vs. French dualism, began to refer as well to a rather different tension in power relations, generated by the "Canadian born" vs. resident "foreign born" or "immigrant" dichotomy. The meaning of this duality briefly shifted to signify the potential distinction between "loyal citizen" and "enemy alien". Fascist or communist ideological leanings and strong nationalist feelings for the fate of the embattled homelands in Europe further exasperated this tension. In the heat of the WWII years, the Canadian government hired Tracy Philipps---an Englishman with expertise in colonial, Middle-Eastern and East-European affairs---to act as an adviser in its endeavours to secure loyalty and support for its war efforts among Canadians of continental European origin, to mitigate the adversarial relationship among various cultural groups, and to encourage faster assimilation of "new Canadians". To this end, the government set up the Committee on Cooperation in Canadian Citizenship and established the Nationalities Branch within its Department of National War Services, with Philipps as its European Adviser. The thesis explores the subsequent changes in the discursive practice created by the mediation of different ideological approaches brought forward by Philipps, various politicians and adult educators in their search to recognize and define what constituted being a "citizen", a "foreigner"---and, most of all, a "Canadian". The debates accelerated the process of common national self-identification and the emergence of a new institution of "Canadian citizenship". The resulting new discourse affirmed the idea that Canada was a national unit with, nevertheless, an inherent diversity that can be contained and managed if that management were entrusted in the state authority as guarantor of the equality of all its citizens.

Abstract:

This paper examines the post-WWII restitution efforts for the significant art collection of Richard Morawetz, which was deposited in the National Gallery Prague in 1939. Following the family’s escape from Czechoslovakia to avoid Nazi persecution, Richard Morawetz engaged in a legal battle after the war to reclaim his art collection. Although his ownership was legally recognised, the artworks remained in the gallery’s vaults and were officially confiscated by the state in the 1960s. This research paper focuses on the immediate post-war restitution efforts, detailing the court proceedings and illustrating how state institutions misused laws, specifically Restitution Act No. 128/1946 Coll. and Standing Committee Measure No. 255/1938 Coll., along with alleged tax arrears, in order to retain control over the art pieces. The paper is part of the Charles University SVV No. 260 621 and contributes to a dissertation project on looted art restitution in the Czech Republic.

Abstract:

This paper recounts the overwhelming success of the helicopter response during Hurricane Katrina. All branches of the United States Military and the National Guard flew those helicopters on nearly endless search and rescue missions, saving over 35,000 lives directly and tens of thousands more through air-lifted supplies and support. Surprisingly, the military development and utilization of the helicopter as a lifesaving machine once met great resistance; only the relentless, dogged determination of Coast Guard officers, William Kossler, Frank Erickson, and Stewart Graham, would turn the tide and launch a new chapter in aviation history, which came to demonstrable fruition with Hurricane Katrina. Of particular interest is the involvement of the oldest son of Dr. Igor Sikorsky, Sergei Sikorsky. During his WWII Coast Guard service, Sergei contributed greatly to helicopter capability by participating in the development and initial testing of the helicopter rescue hoist.

Abstract:

In 1944, during the last days of WWII, Major General Chia-Jen Chu, general manager of China's First Aviation Factory, decided to begin exploring, designing and building helicopters after having witnessed the Sikorsky XR-4 helicopter flying over Kunming's sky in Yunnan Province of Southern China. On June 10, 1953 in Taichung, Taiwan, the first Chinese indigenous tandem configuration helicopter, nicknamed the Banana CJC-3A, took its first initial flight off the ground under the design leadership of Major General Chu. This tandem helicopter was a two-seat lightweight technology demonstrator. The event took place during the unprecedented military conflict era between the Chinese national and communist governments across the Taiwan Strait. The aircraft performance evaluation and design description of the Banana CJC-3A tandem helicopter will be presented. Because of the Chu Family's generosity in sharing Major General Chia-Jen Chu's personal technical notebook with the author, the public can finally rediscover the CJC-3A aircraft sixty three years later after its first flight.

Abstract:

In preparing for the 2003 Hofstra University "From Autogiro to Gyroplane: The Past, Present and Future of an Aviation Industry" Conference, David Groen of Groen Brothers Aviation suggested that it would be fitting to invite, and facilitate the attendance of August Stepan, then resident in a nursing home in Vienna, Austria. This never happened as it was quickly ascertained that Stepan was too frail to travel - the result being that an opportunity to celebrate a forgotten pioneer of rotary-wing aviation went unrealized.1 Groen had happened upon Stepan while delving deeply into the history of the 'Fairey Rotodyne' and his pioneering work both during WWII and afterwards on the application of jet-tipped rotor technology. Stepan soon died, and this paper represents an attempt to rediscover this forgotten pioneer, initiated in part by both his own brief summary of his aviation life, and the memories of remaining friends and colleagues who were fortunate as young men to work with Stepan.

Abstract:

Inspired watching Glenn Curtiss landing to refuel on his historic 1910 flight from Albany to New York City, the almost 5-year old John McDonald "Johnny" Miller decided he wanted to be a pilot, a decision reinforced five years later in a chance encounter with famed aviatrix Ruth Law (3rd licensed woman pilot in America) at the Curtiss Flying school in Mineola, Long Island. Miller taught himself to fly in used WWI Jenny from a text by Captain Horatio Barber, a book Miller still had in his family home in Poughkeepsie, NY eighty years later. His career in aviation, begun in a $1,500 used WWI aircraft, would span eight decades and see him as an Eastern Airline pilot flying jets - a career captured in his email address adopted in his ninth decade from jennys2jets, but Miller was most famous for being the man who beat Amelia Earhart in the first transcontinental Autogiro flight in 1931 and the 1939-1940 experimental Autogiro Airmail Route between the 30th Street Post Office roof in Philadelphia and Camden, NJ. In between, Miller supported himself with maintenance work on bootleggers airplanes and airshow performances, one of which resulted in the death of 'Al' Wilson whose replica Curtiss biplane fatally crashed in a mock dogfight with Miller's PCA-2 Autogiro. Miller's career spanned 85 years and, at his death at 102 & 1/2, he was still a licensed and active pilot. He had thrilled thousands with his Autogiro exhibitions, and while he was not the first, his daring Autogiro 'loop-the-loop' never failed to have the crowd cheering and was captured in the 1935 film Ladies Crave Excitement. Miller was an outsider - not part of the Pitcairn business enterprise which championed Earhart and, from such a truly unique vantage point, was in a special position to observe and comment. His triumphant transcontinental flight in 1931 and the 1939-1940 Autogiro Airmail Route neatly bracket the age of the American Autogiro - John McDonald Miller was part that decade, and his frequent writings provide a unique record and attest to the fabulous life of this American original.

Abstract:

The U.S. Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) mostly through the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), which requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources. Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources, and Section 106 requires them to determine the effect of federal undertakings on those potentially eligible for the NRHP. This report provides a World War II development history and analysis of 786 buildings, and determinations of eligibility for those buildings, on Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. Evaluation of the WWII buildings and landscape concluded that there are too few buildings with integrity to form a cohesive historic district. While the circulation patterns and roads are still intact, the buildings with integrity are scattered throughout the cantonment affecting the historic character of the landscape. Only Building 100 (post headquarters), Building 656 (dental clinic), and Building 550 (fire station) are ELIGIBLE for listing on the NRHP at the national level under Criterion A for their association with World War II temporary building construction (1942-1946) and under Criterion C for their design, construction, and technological innovation.
