A Revolution of Shadows: Culture and Representation in Early-Twenieth-Century Mexico - Hernández Rodríguez, Rafael (The Popular Avant-Garde, 2010)
The avant-garde has been popular for some time, but its popularity has tended to fly under the radar. This “popular avant-garde,” conceived as the meeting ground of the avant-garde and popular, avoids the divorce of art and praxis of which the avant-garde has been accused. The Popular Avant-Garde takes stock of the debates about both the “historical” (“modernist”) and posterior avant-gardes, and sets them in relation to popular culture and art forms. With a critical introduction that examines the concepts of “the avant-garde,” “the popular,” and “the popular avant-garde,” the series of essays analyzes the way in which the avant-garde employs popular genres for political purposes, as well as how the popular acquires a critical function with respect to the avant-garde. Each of the volume’s three sections considers a different aspect of the productive exchange between the avant-garde and popular: the popular avant-garde as a culturally hybrid and cross-border phenomenon; the play between the popular avant-garde and developments in media and technology; and the popular avant-garde’s upending of conventional ideas about “the people” and “the popular.” The Popular Avant-Garde takes a fresh look at the now canonical Dadaist, Futurist, and Surrealist movements from the perspectives of gender and sexuality, and cultural and critical theory, while at the same time exploring less well-known avant-garde work in literature, film, television, music, photography, dance, sculpture, and the graphic arts. This volume’s coverage of the American and Afro-American, Luso-Brazilian and Latin-American, East-European, and Scandinavian avant-gardes, in addition to the vanguards of Spain and other parts of Western Europe, will appeal to all those interested in avant-garde and popular art forms.

School Nurse Resource Manual: A Guide to Practice - Taliaferro, Vicki; Resha, Cheryl A. (School Health Alert, 2017)
School nurses' work focuses directly on three areas: health services, health education, and the school environment. Their services require diverse knowledge including, but not limited to, pediatric/adolescent health, infectious diseases, mental health, chronic diseases, and emergency care. They can influence health and safety aspects of schools and can provide leadership to a district's or campus' coordinated school health program that in addition to health services, health education, and the school environment addresses mental health and social services, nutrition services, physical activity, family and community involvement, and/or staff health promotion. This work is written for school nurses as a quick reference on the many issues they encounter in their practice, and to assist them, their administrators and consulting physicians to develop consistent evidence-based policies and procedures for safe student care.

Global inequality - McGill, Kenneth (University of Toronto Press, 2016)
"Inequality is currently gaining considerable attention in academic, policy, and media circles. From Thomas Piketty to Robert Putnam, there is no shortage of economic, sociological, or political analyses. But what does anthropology, with its focus on the qualitative character of relationships between people, have to offer? Drawing on current scholarship and illustrative ethnographic case studies, McGill argues that anthropology is particularly well suited to interrogating global inequality, not just within nations, but across nations as well. The book is designed to be used flexibly in a variety of undergraduate classes–from introductory cultural anthropology, to courses on globalization, economic and political anthropology, and inequality. Brief, accessibly written, and peppered with vivid ethnographic examples that bring contemporary research to life, Global Inequality is a unique offering for undergraduate anthropology courses."–

A growing number of people disenchanted with the pressures and demands of mainstream lifestyles are drawn by the nostalgic appeal of traditional, mostly agrarian and artisanal, lifestyles as practiced in residential communities where liminal rituals of membership serve to validate pacts to live and work together in cooperative social and economic relations.

The Saints of Progress: A History of Coffee, Migration, and Costa Rican National Identity - Kordick, Carmen (The University of Alabama Press, 2019)
"This work narrates the development of a historically remote–although internationally celebrated–coffee-growing region from the early 19th century through to the first decade of the 21st century. It considers the nation-building process from the margins to question traditional scholarly works that have reproduced, rather than deconstructed, Costa Rica's exceptionalist national mythologies that imagine this isthmian republic as Central America's 'white,' democratic, nonviolent, and egalitarian republic. The book recognizes that even though Costa Rica's exceptionalist rendition draws on some undeniable realities, it thoughtfully considers the origins, applicability, and longevity of the different elements of this exceptionalist master narrative. In particular, it suggests the mythology emerged during the Cold War, as revolution, civil war, military dictatorship, and state violence plagued much of Central America. In this same period, Costa Rica not only retained a relatively stable democratic system, but policymakers eliminated the standing army in 1948. This widely embraced and celebrated historical narrative, however, distorts as much as it illuminates the experience of contemporary and historical actors"–

"As the United States grew into an empire in the late nineteenth century, notions like 'sea power' derived not only from fleets, bases, and decisive battles, but also from a scientific effort to understand and master the ocean environment. Beginning in the early nineteenth century and concluding in the first years of the twentieth, Jason W. Smith tells the story of the rise of the U.S. Navy and the emergence of American ocean empire through its struggle to control nature. In vividly told sketches of exploration, naval officers, war, and, most significantly, the ocean environment, Smith draws together insights from environmental, maritime, military, and naval history, and the history of science and cartography, placing the U.S. Navy's scientific efforts within a broader cultural context"–

New Perspectives on Ibn ʻAsākir in Islamic Historiography - Judd, Steven C.; Scheiner, Jens J. (Brill, 2017)
This volume contains six articles on Ibn 'Asākir and his 'Ta'rīkh madīnat Dimāshq' illustrating a variety of perspectives and approaches to the material. It includes a seventh article that discusses the process by which the now standard 'Dār al-fikr' edition was compiled. The contributions address both the geographical and biographical sections of the 'Ta'rīkh madīnat Dimashq'. Some of the authors examine Ibn 'Asākir's sources, while others describe how Ibn 'Asākir's works were used by later generations of scholars and how he influenced multiple genres of later writings. The volume also contains analyses of individual biographies and discussions of Ibn 'Asākir's treatment of larger classes of people, including the first analysis of his biographies of women. In sum, it illustrates both the wide range of topics that the 'Ta'rīkh madīnat Dimashq' covers and the latest techniques for analyzing Ibn 'Asākir and his work.

This City Belongs to You: A History of Student Activism in Guatemala, 1944-1996 - Vrana, Heather A. (University of California Press, 2017)
"Between 1944 and 1996, Guatemala experienced a revolution, counterrevolution, and civil war. In the middle of these national shifts were students from Guatemala's only public university, the University of San Carlos (USAC). USAC students served in, advised, protested, and were later persecuted by the government, all the while crafting a powerful student nationalism founded on their responsibility to lead the nation. In no other moment has the relationship between the university and the state been so mutable, yet so mutually formative. By showing how the very notion of the middle class in Guatemala emerged from these student movements, this book places an often-marginalized region and period at the center of histories of class, protest, and youth movements, while providing an entirely new way to think about the role of universities and student bodies in the formation of liberal democracy throughout Latin America.

Dr. Ruth A. Parmelee and the Changing Roll of Near East Missionaries in Early Twentieth Century Turkey - Metaxas, Virginia (Role of the American Board in the World: Bicentennial Reflections on the Organization's Missionary Work, 1810-2010, 2012)
The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) was the country's first creator of overseas Christian missions. Founded in 1810 and supported by a coalition of Calvinist denominations, the ABCFM established the first American missions in India, China, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and many other places. It was America's largest missionary organization in the nineteenth century, and its influence was immense. Its missionaries established the first Western schools and hospitals in many parts of the world, and they successfully promoted women's rights and other ideals from the Enlightenment. They also transformed oral languages such as Zulu, Hawaiian, and Cherokee into written form, and they preserved many elements of premodern cultures (albeit not always intentionally). The contributors to this book provide valuable insights on the work of the ABCFM (which exists today under a different name). Some of the contributors profile the lives of notable ABCFM missionaries, others focus on ideological shifts within the Board, and still others chronicle the Board's role in historic events, including the Opium Wars, the colonization of Hawai'i, and the Armenian Genocide. From reading this book, people will come to understand why the ABCFM is widely viewed as America's most historically significant missionary organization.

We Will Be Satisfied with Nothing Less: The African American Struggle for Equal Rights in the North During Reconstruction - Davis, Hugh (Cornell University Press, 2011)
Historians have focused almost entirely on the attempt by southern African Americans to attain equal rights during Reconstruction. However, the northern states also witnessed a significant period of struggle during these years. Northern blacks vigorously protested laws establishing inequality in education, public accommodations, and political life and challenged the Republican Party to live up to its stated ideals. In "We Will Be Satisfied With Nothing Less," Hugh Davis concentrates on the two issues that African Americans in the North considered most essential: black male suffrage rights and equal access to the public schools. Davis connects the local and the national; he joins the specifics of campaigns in places such as Cincinnati, Detroit, and San Francisco with the work of the National Equal Rights League and its successor, the National Executive Committee of Colored Persons. The narrative moves forward from their launching of the equal rights movement in 1864 to the "end" of Reconstruction in the North two decades later. The struggle to gain male suffrage rights was the centerpiece of the movement's agenda in the 1860s, while the school issue remained a major objective throughout the period. Following the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870, northern blacks devoted considerable attention to assessing their place within the Republican Party and determining how they could most effectively employ the franchise to protect the rights of all citizens.– Book jacket.

Urban Indians in Phoenix schools, 1940-2000 - Amerman, Stephen Kent (University of Nebraska Press, 2010)
"In the latter half of the twentieth century, tens of thousands of Native American families moved to cities across the United States, some via the government relocation program and some on their own. In the cities, they encountered new forms of work, entertainment, housing, and education. In this study, Stephen Kent Amerman focuses on the educational experiences of Native students in urban schools in Phoenix, Arizona, a city with one of the largest urban Indian communities in the nation. The educational experiences of Native students in Phoenix varied over time and even in different parts of the city, but interactions with other ethnic groups and the experience of being a minority for the first time presented distinctive challenges and opportunities for Native students., Using oral histories as well as written records, Amerman examines how the Phoenix schools tried to educate and assimilate the Native students alongside Hispanic, Asian, black, and white students and how Native children, their parents, and the Indian community at large responded to this new urban education and the question of their cultural identity. Reconciling these pressures was a struggle, but many found resourceful responses, charting paths that enabled them to acquire an urban education while still remaining Indian."–Pub. desc.

The Great Industrial War Framing Class Conflict in the Media, 1865-1950 - Rondinone, Troy (Rutgers University Press, 2010)
The Great Industrial War, a comprehensive assessment of how class has been interpreted by the media in American history, documents the rise and fall of a frightening concept: industrial war. Moving beyond the standard account of labor conflict as struggles between workers and management, Troy Rondinone asks why Americans viewed big strikes as "battles" in "irrepressible conflict" between the armies of capital and laborùa terrifying clash between workers, strikebreakers, police, and soldiers. Examining how the mainstream press along with the writings of a select group of influential reformers and politicians framed strike news, Rondinone argues that the Civil War, coming on the cusp of a revolution in industrial productivity, offered a gruesome, indelible model for national conflict. He follows the heated discourse on class war through the nineteenth century until its general dissipation in the mid-twentieth century. Incorporating labor history, cultural studies, linguistic anthropology, and sociology, The Great Industrial War explores the influence of historical experience on popular perceptions of social order and class conflict and provides a reinterpretation of the origins and meaning of the Taft-Hartley Act and the industrial relations regime it supported.

The Religion of Empire: Political Theology in Blake's Prophetic Symbolism - Rosso, G. A. (The Ohio State University Press, 2016)
The Religion of Empire: Political Theology in Blake's Prophetic Symbolism is the first full-length study devoted to interpreting Blake's three long poems, showing the ways in which the Bible, myth, and politics merge in his prophetic symbolism. In this book, G. A. Rosso examines the themes of empire and religion through the lens of one of Blake's most distinctive and puzzling images, Rahab, a figure that anchors an account of the development of Blake's political theology in the latter half of his career. Through the Rahab figure, Rosso argues, Blake interweaves the histories of religion and empire in a wide-ranging attack on the conceptual bases of British globalism in the long eighteenth century. This approach reveals the vast potential that the question of religion offers to a reconsideration of Blake's attitude to empire. The Religion of Empire also reevaluates Blake's relationship with Milton, whose influence Blake both affirms and contests in a unique appropriation of Milton's prophetic legacy. In this context, Rosso challenges recent views of Blake as complicit with the nationalism and sexism of his time, expanding the religion-empire nexus to include Blake's esoteric understanding of gender. Foregrounding the role of female characters in the longer prophecies, Rosso discloses the variegated and progressive nature of Blake's apocalyptic humanism.

American Woman Suffrage Postcards: A Study and Catalog - Florey, Kenneth (McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, 2015)
"American women's suffrage activists were fascinated with suffrage themed postcards. They collected them, exchanged them, wrote about them, used them as fundraisers and organized 'postcard day' campaigns. The cards they produced were imaginative and ideological, advancing arguments for the enfranchisement of women and responding to antisuffrage broadsides. Publishers were also interested in suffrage cards, recognizing their profit potential"–

The Craft of Quoting: The Art of Writing It Like It's Said - Harris, Frank (Cognella, Inc., 2016)
The Craft of Quoting helps student-writers develop the ability to use quotes in such a way that their readers "hear" and "feel" what the speaker is saying and understand its relevance to the topic at hand. Students will learn how to write quotes with style, clarity, and consistency. The book provides clear guidelines for mechanical correctness, appropriate attribution, and paraphrasing. The use of paragraph breaks for stylistic purposes is also addressed. In addition, The Craft of Quoting sets out twelve "quote-nots" that help students avoid the common pitfalls of using quotes in written work, as well as nine essential quote patterns that enhance efficacy and impact. The Craft of Quoting also addresses the importance of ethics in writing, especially as these relate to plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Practical and concise, The Craft of Quoting is ideally suited to journalism students whose reporting involves interviewing sources. It is also an excellent tool for second-tier writing classes in which students explore other people's thoughts and feelings in their work.

Theory and Practice in Eighteenth-Century Dance: The German-French Connection - Russell, Tilden A. (University of Delaware Press ; The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, Inc., 2018)
Theory and Practice in Eighteenth-Century Dance: The German-French Connection is about the intersection of two evolving dance-historical realms-theory and practice-during the first two decades of the eighteenth century. France was the source of works on notation, choreography, and repertoire that dominated European dance practice until the 1780s. While these French inventions were welcomed and used in Germany, German dance writers responded by producing an important body of work on dance theory. This book examines consequences in Germany of this asymmetrical confrontation of dance perspectives. Between 1703 and 1717 in Germany, a coherent theory of dance was postulated that called itself dance theory, comprehended why it is a theory, and clearly, rationally, distinguished itself from practice. This flowering of dance-theoretical writing was contemporaneous with the appearance of Beauchamps-Feuillet notation in the Chorégraphie of Raoul Auger Feuillet (Paris, 1700, 1701). Beauchamps-Feuillet notation was the ideal written representation of the dance style known as la belle danse and practiced in both the ballroom and the theater. Its publication enabled the spread of belle danse to the French provinces and internationally, and encouraged the publication, in different languages, of new dance treatises as well as practical works (manuals, choreographies, recueils) on how to make steps and dance current dances. The Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister, by Gottfried Taubert (Leipzig, 1717), includes a translated edition of Feuillet's Chorégraphie. In the present book, chapters 1, 2, and 5 have to do with how Taubert and his contemporary German authors of dance treatises (Samuel Rudolph Behr, Johann Pasch, Louis Bonin) became familiar with Beauchamps-Feuillet notation and acknowledged the Chorégraphie in their own work, and how Taubert's translation of the Chorégraphie spread its influence northward and eastward in Europe. Chapters 3 and 4 examine the personal and literary interrelationships between the German writers on dance between 1703 and 1717. Chapter 6 examines these writers' invention of a theoria of dance as a counterbalance to dance praxis, compares their dance-theoretical ideas with those of John Weaver in England, and assimilates them all in a cohesive and inclusive description of dance theory in Europe by 1721.

Professional Pathways to the Presidency - Marchant-Shapiro, Theresa (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015)
"During presidential elections a quadrennial debate emerges which, although it differs in the particulars, reflects the same structure in each reincarnation. Although the issue positions taken by the candidates vary over the years, their claim to qualification for the presidency follows a common pattern. Each candidate discusses his or her prior experience as preparation for one or more of the requirements of the office and then lays claim to the legacy of one of the great presidents who followed the same trajectory to the White House.Missing from this debate is a systematic analysis of how different job experiences prepared the population of all presidents for service. For each of the greats who followed a particular pathway to the presidents there is a failure who shared the pathway. In this book I combine the quantitative evaluation of presidential performance with mixture of qualitative and quantitative analyses of professional qualifications. The recent C-SPAN surveys provide us with a nuanced measure of presidential performance by asking historians to rate the Presidents on ten constituent attributes of: Public Persuasion, Moral Authority, Relations with Congress, Performance within Context of Times, Crisis Leadership, International Relations, Vision/Setting an Agenda, Economic Management, Administrative Skills, and Pursued Equal Justice for All. The sub-score for 'Relations with Congress' measures how well the president performs as 'legislator-in-chief' so that I can see whether former legislators work better with congress. Similarly the measure of 'Administrative Skills' indicates whether experience as a governor leads to better performance as the national chief executive. The evaluation of 'Economic Management' looks at whether those presidents with business experience do a better job in dealing with the economy. C-SPAN's nuanced measure of presidential performance allows a more careful evaluation of how prior experience affects particular aspects of presidential greatness than was previously possible"–, "Presidential hopefuls frequently claim they are qualified because their job experience is the same as a great president. However they ignore the failed presidents who shared the same pathway. This book evaluates all the presidents systematically to determine how prior professional experience influences presidential performance"–

Towards Coastal Resilience and Sustainability - Heidkamp, C. Patrick; Morrissey, John; Graves, Scott M. (Routledge, 2019)
"Coastal zones represent a frontline in the battle for sustainability, as coastal communities face unprecedented economic challenges. Coastal ecosystems are subject to overuse, loss of resilience and increased vulnerability. This book aims to interrogate the multi-scalar complexities in creating a more sustainable coastal zone. Sustainability transitions are geographical processes, which happen in situated, particular places. However, much contemporary discussion of transition is either aspatial or based on implicit assumptions about spatial homogeneity. This book addresses these limitations through an examination of socio-technological transitions with an explicitly spatial focus in the context of the coastal zone. The book begins by focusing on theoretical understandings of transition processes specific to the coastal zone and includes detailed empirical case studies. The second half of the book appraises governance initiatives in coastal zones and their efficacy. The authors conclude with an implicit theme of social and environmental justice in coastal sustainability transitions. Research will be of interest to practitioners, academics and decision-makers active in the sphere of coastal sustainability. The multi-disciplinary nature encourages accessibility for individuals working in the fields of Economic Geography, Regional Development, Public Policy and Planning, Environmental Studies, Social Geography and Sociology" – Provided by publisher's website.

Reimagining a Lost Armenian Home: The Dildilian Photography Collection - Marsoobian, Armen (I.B. Tauris, 2017)
For nearly a century members of the Dildilian family practiced the art of photography in Ottoman Turkey, Greece and the United States. This book contains over 200 photographs, primarily from the Ottoman era, beginning with the creation of the family business by Tsolag Dildilian in Sivas in central Turkey in 1882 and concluding in 1922 in Samsun, when the family was forced into exile in Greece. The photographs and the stories that unfold around them capture a defining period in the nearly three thousand year history of the Armenians in Anatolia and the Armenian Highlands. The early-twentieth century witnessed the violent erasure of the Armenians from their historic homeland, with catastrophic effects for the Dildilian family and their community. Yet this was also a period of unprecedented educational, cultural and commercial development for the Armenians. The Dildilian family was intimately involved in the triumphs and tragedies of these years and this book, through its rich pictorial history, sheds unprecedented light on the real-life experiences of Armenians in the devastating years of the Armenian Genocide and beyond. It is an unusual and original contribution to the social history of the Near East.

Heidegger in France - Janicaud, Dominique (Indiana University Press, 2015)
Dominique Janicaud claimed that every French intellectual movement–from existentialism to psychoanalysis–was influenced by Martin Heidegger. This translation of Janicaud's landmark work, Heidegger en France, details Heidegger's reception in philosophy and other humanistic and social science disciplines. Interviews with key French thinkers such as Françoise Dastur, Jacques Derrida, Éliane Escoubas, Jean Greisch, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Jean-Luc Marion, and Jean-Luc Nancy are included and provide further reflection on Heidegger's relationship to French philosophy. An intellectual undertaking of authoritative scope, this work furnishes a thorough history of the French reception of Heidegger's thought.–Publisher website.

Blue Economy - Germond-Duret, Celine; Garland, Michaela; Heidkamp, C. Patrick; Morrissey, John (International Encyclopedia of Geography, 2016)
Geography has engaged in insightful discussions on how to understand, analyze, criticize, and implement the blue economy. United Nations agencies, Small Island Developing States, and increased academic interest in oceans have played important roles in the global adoption of the blue economy idea, that is, the sustainable exploitation of marine and coastal resources. Geographical research on the blue economy has addressed key themes such as economic and political discourse, relational thinking and assemblage, sustainability and just transitions, and blue economy risks.

Abatement Addiction: A Case Study on Jersey City's Municipal Tax Abatements, Urban Gentrification and the Politics of Rights - Wharton, Jonathan (American Political Science Association, Social Science Research Network, 2011)
As New Jersey’s second largest city, Jersey City has experienced a surge in urban redevelopment and new development, particularly its downtown wards closest to New York City. Situated on the Hudson River directly across from downtown New York City, Jersey City is an ideal location for New Jersey developers and realtors to redevelop in order to attract New York City’s financial sector employees and individuals desiring more living space at lower rental or mortgage costs. In other words, downtown Jersey City exemplifies urban gentrification. In the last twenty years, several public policies helped spur waterfront development to attract potentially wealthier residents. In an effort to lure developers and investors, Jersey City officials relied heavily on municipal tax abatements to offset increasingly high property taxes. So after two decades, has Jersey City demonstrated that Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT), tax abatements and other tax policy incentives are in fact feasible in terms of the following questions: What have been the implications of these policies? Who benefited from and who was marginalized from these policies? This paper examines the rising concerns surrounding tax abatements and other pro-development tax policies. By examining a medium sized city like Jersey City, this case study is especially useful in understanding the significant issues and shortcomings with urban redevelopment tax incentives. Too often these incentives benefit a political and financial elite at the economic expense and loss of political rights of long-term residents and renters.

A Post-Racial Change Is Gonna Come: Newark, Cory Booker, and the Transformation of Urban America - Wharton, J. (Springer, 2013)
This work offers a political and historical analysis of Newark's modern politics since 1950, culminating with Mayor Cory Booker's rise to power and prominence both in the city and in American political consciousness. Newark's recent political history offers an interesting case study in mayoral elections, community development, and coalition building politics. While Newark is the quintessential post-industrial city, Booker has received critical attention for his post-racial politics since he frequently bypasses racial and traditional urban politics. At the same time, relations between the mayor, the municipal council, and Newark's diverse communities were often so fractious that sustainable coalition building proved to be an elusive goal to resolve longstanding crime, education, and other social problems. Based on original interviews with Cory Booker, city council members, and other prominent Newark politicians, A Post Racial Change is Gonna Come is a powerful history of how Newark became the focal point for transformative politics in urban America.

Unique Policymaking in Action: The District Council and the Legislative Process - Wharton, Jonathan L. (Law, Politics, and African Americans in Washington, DC, 2010)
Law, Politics, and African Americans in Washington, DC explores the legal challenges and triumphs of African Americans and law and politics in Washington, DC, a city whose majority population comprises African Americans. It examines the interconnection between law and politics in Washington, DC, because it is vital to know the legal conditions under which the African American residents of the most powerful city in the world live, based on sound empirical evidence. Law, Politics, and African Americans in Washington, DC addresses two major questions: - Why study African Americans in terms of law and politics? - Why examine law and politics at the local level, in this case Washington, DC?

Effects of Upper-Limit Water Temperatures on the Dispersal of the Asian Clam Corbicula fluminea - Rosa, Inês Correia; Pereira, Joana Luísa; Costa, Raquel; Gonçalves, Fernando; Prezant, Robert (PLOS ONE, 2012)
Temperature is a determinant environmental variable in metabolic rates of organisms ultimately influencing important physiological and behavioural features. Stressful conditions such as increasing temperature, particularly within high ranges occurring in the summer, have been suggested to induce flotation behaviour in Corbicula fluminea which may be important in dispersal of this invasive species. However, there has been no experimental evidence supporting this hypothesis. It was already proven that C. fluminea drift is supported by a mucilaginous drogue line produced by mucocytes present in the ctenidia. Detailed microscopic examination of changes in these cells and quantification of clam flotation following one, two and three weeks of exposure to 22, 25 and 30°C was carried out so that the effects of increasing water temperatures in dispersal patterns could be discussed. Results show that changes in temperature triggered an acceleration of the mucocytes production and stimulated flotation behaviour, especially following one week of exposure. Dilution of these effects occurred following longer exposure periods. It is possible that these bivalves perceive changing temperature as a stress and respond accordingly in the short-term, and then acclimate to the new environmental conditions. The response patterns suggest that increasing water temperatures could stimulate C. fluminea population expansion.

Bidirectional reservoir networks trained using SVM$$+$$privileged information for manufacturing process modeling - Rodan, Ali; Sheta, Alaa F.; Faris, Hossam (Soft Computing, 2017)
In the last decade, a wide range of machine learning approaches were proposed and experimented to model highly nonlinear manufacturing processes. However, improving the performance of such models is challenging due to the complexity and high dimensionality of the manufacturing processes in general. In this paper, we propose bidirectional echo state reservoir networks (Bi-ESNs) trained using support vector machine privileged information method (SVM$$+$$) to model a winding machine process. The proposed model will be applied, tested and compared to reported models in the literature such as classical ESN with linear regression, ESN with a linear SVM readout, genetic programming, feedfoward neural network with backpropagation, radial basis function network, adaptive neural fuzzy inference system and local linear wavelet neural network. The developed results show that Bi-ESNs trained with SVM$$+$$are promising. It was able to provide better generalization performance compared to other models.

Bullying - Howe, E.; Haymes, E.; Tenor, T. (The School Practitioner's Concise Companion to Preventing Violence and Conflict, 2010)
This chapter reviews the most well-researched, evidence-based antibullying interventions: involvement of all the stakeholders in a school, prevention through life skills curricula, problem-solving approaches, and those that focus on rules and consequences. Two factors emerge with clarity: (1) the exact components of the program do not matter as much as the quality and thoroughness with which the interventions are implemented; and (2) given the potentially severe consequences of bullying, it is a moral imperative to continue to implement such programs and to formulate and revise the programs based on solid evidence. © 2008 by Oxford University Press, Inc.

Landscapes of order, landscapes of memory: Italian-American residential landscapes of the New York metropolitan region - Inguanti, J.J. (Italian Folk: Vernacular Culture in Italian-American Lives, 2010)
In June of 2004, The New York Times reported that the fig trees in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn were dying.1 Accompanying this horticultural death was another transition. Like the fig trees, the elderly Italian-American people who tended them were also gradually disappearing from the neighborhood. The article demonstrated what most residents of the New York tri-state area already knew: The ethnic make-up of a neighborhood often may be "read" through the residential landscape choices of its inhabitants. For people of Italian descent, the fig tree (Ficus carica) is one of many ethnically significant components of the landscape. Throughout the New York City metropolitan region, the residential landscape plays a prominent role in the construction of Italian-American identity. With their symmetrical plans, sheared shrubs, religious statues, and fig trees, Italian-American landscapes proclaim the ethnicity of homeowners and knit neighborhoods together with a shared horticultural and design idiom. Despite the facility with which the denizens of the New York tri-state region discern and describe this "Italian look," no study concerned primarily with the visual analysis and historical precedents of these Italian-American residential landscapes yet exists.

The Colonels' coup and the American embassy: A Diplomat's view of the breakdown of democracy in cold war Greece - Keeley, R.V.; Iatrides, J.O. (Penn State University Press, 2010)
The so-called Colonels' coup of April 21, 1967, was a major event in the history of the Cold War, ushering in a seven-year period of military rule in Greece. In the wake of the coup, some eight thousand people affiliated with the Communist Party were rounded up, and Greece became yet another country where the fear of Communism led the United States into alliance with a repressive right-wing authoritarian regime. In military coups in some other countries, it is known that the CIA and other agencies of the U.S. government played an active role in encouraging and facilitating the takeover. The Colonels' coup, however, came as a surprise to the United States (which was expecting a Generals' coup instead). Yet the U.S. government accepted it after the fact, despite internal disputes within policymaking circles about the wisdom of accommodating the upstart Papadopoulos regime. Among the dissenters was Robert Keeley, then serving in the U.S. Embassy in Greece. This is his insider's account of how U.S. policy was formulated, debated, and implemented during the critical years 1966 to 1969 in Greek-U.S. relations. © 2010 Robert V. Keeley All rights reserved.

Interface-induced polarization and inhibition of ferroelectricity in epitaxial SrTiO3/Si - Kolpak, A.M.; Walker, F.J.; Reiner, J.W.; Segal, Y.; Su, D.; Sawicki, M.S.; Broadbridge, C.C.; Zhang, Z.; Zhu, Y.; Ahn, C.H.; Ismail-Beigi, S. (Physical Review Letters, 2010)
We use SrTiO3/Si as a model system to elucidate the effect of the interface on ferroelectric behavior in epitaxial oxide films on silicon. Using both first-principles computations and synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements, we show that structurally imposed boundary conditions at the interface stabilize a fixed (pinned) polarization in the film but inhibit ferroelectric switching. We demonstrate that the interface chemistry responsible for these phenomena is general to epitaxial silicon-oxide interfaces, impacting on the design of silicon-based functional oxide devices. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

Why did the monkey kill the giant? Another look at Margutte's death - Palma, P. (Quaderni d'Italianistica, 2010)
In the Morgante through Margutte's death-by-laughter Pulci voices a caustic critique of Ficino's philosophical theories while obliquely denouncing Lorenzo de Medici's acceptance of them. The spectacle of the monkey wearing and taking off Margutte's boots follows Aristotle's definition of the ridiculous that ignites hilarity. It also retrieves Bergson's idea of a society that can be derided because of its attempts to disguise its true self. Most importantly, it reintroduces Petrarch's concepts of similitudo and identitas. Through the depiction of the giant's death Pulci reveals the dignity of a poet remaining true to his poetic discourse even while coming to terms with the negative turn his career has taken.

Mapping the Word Reading Circuitry in Skilled and Disabled Readers - Pugh, K.R.; Frost, S.J.; Sandak, R.; Landi, N.; Moore, D.; Porta, G.D.; Rueckl, J.G.; Einar Mencl, W. (The Neural Basis of Read., 2010)
This chapter describes recent studies designed to generate data not only on the localization of reading-related brain activation, but also to examine patterns of interactions and dynamic trade-offs among these distributed reading-related systems. It begins with a review of relevant behavioral studies of component processing in fluent reading, with particular emphasis on the role of early (sublexical) phonology. It then discusses the current literature on the neurobiology of skilled and disabled reading, along with consideration of a series of recent studies that aim to capture brain correlates of component processing, again with an emphasis on phonological processing, adaptive learning, and complex trade-offs and interactions. Finally, it takes stock of what is considered to be crucial next steps (both technical and theoretical) in the emerging cognitive neuroscience of reading and its disorders. © Oxford University Press, 2014.

An information system for multi-instrument atmospheric laser radar studies - Sharma, N.; Parikh, J.A. (WMSCI - World Multi-Conf. Syst., Cybern. Informatics, Proc., 2010)
In this paper we describe an information system that we have designed for students and researchers to conduct atmospheric studies using data that they have collected from multiple atmospheric instruments including two laser radar (lidar) systems. The lidar systems available for research include a monostatic Micro Pulse Lidar System and a bistatic imaging CLidar system. Complementary instruments for data analysis and ground truth specification include a nephelometer, sunphotometers and a weather station. Information structures within the system allow users to 1) label, describe and archive raw and derived datasets from multiple atmospheric instruments with associated metadata using NetCDF format, 2) link together coincident and co-located datasets from different instruments and 3) identify owner and verify user access rights of raw and derived datasets. Data analysis software tools have been developed in MATLAB to characterize and remove instrument artifacts based on experimental lidar studies, to analyze clear sky data to determine variability in atmospheric aerosol content over time and altitude, and to investigate cloud and aerosol patterns.

Latin Alive: The survival of Latin in English and the Romance languages - Solodow, J.B. (Cambridge University Press, 2010)
In Latin Alive, Joseph Solodow tells the story of how Latin developed into modern French, Spanish, and Italian, and deeply affected English as well. Offering a gripping narrative of language change, Solodow charts Latin's course from classical times to the modern era, with focus on the first millennium of the Common Era. Though the Romance languages evolved directly from Latin, Solodow shows how every important feature of Latin's evolution is also reflected in English. His story includes scores of intriguing etymologies, along with many concrete examples of texts, studies, scholars, anecdotes, and historical events; observations on language; and more. Written with crystalline clarity, this is the first book to tell the story of the Romance languages for the general reader and to illustrate so amply Latin's many-sided survival in English as well. © Joseph B.

Jews and Jewishness in Carme Riera‘s Dins el darrer blau - Sosa-Velasco, A.J. (Iberian Modalities: A Relational Approach to the Study of Culture in the Iberian Peninsula, 2010)
Las hogueras del fanatismo y la ortodoxia son una constante del siglo XXI, en el que ya estamos. Seguimos proyectando nuestro peor yo sobre los débiles, los pobres y los emigrantes. Necesitarí amos matar el yo racista que llevamos dentro y eso sólo se puede conseguir colocándonos en el lugar del otro, sintiéndote agredida. In the last twenty-five years, Jews have emerged as a literary figure as well as a literary theme in Spain. Catalan writers such as Maria Àngels Anglada (1930- 99), Carme Riera (1948–), and Vicenç Villatoro (1957–) approach the Jewish theme and the representation of the Jew as literary character in order to reflect on issues regarding identity and history in novels, such as El violí d‘Auschwitz (1994), Dins el darrer blau (1994), and Memòria del traïdor (1996), respectively. With Dins el darrer blau, written between 1989 and 1993, published in Catalan in 1994 and in Castilian in 1996, Riera starts a series of novels dedicated to the Majorcan xuetes (Jews who were converted to Christianity) which she finishes with Cap al cel obert in 1999. In this essay I will reflect on how Riera‘s Dins el darrer blau revisits the past in order to create a “culture of memory,” a process in which society confronts its traumatic past and the history of exile and repression, linking the history of the Jewish converts to the history of the Balearic island, Majorca. Riera‘s novel is based on historical events that occurred in the City of Majorca from 1687 to 1691. © 2013 Liverpool University Press.

Academic support and college success for postsecondary students with learning disabilities - Troiano, P.F.; Liefeld, J.A.; Trachtenberg, J.V. (Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2010)
The relationship between degree of academic support center use and college success was examined in a population of 262 college students with learning disabilities. Five years of attendance data and graduation rates were examined and submitted to discriminant function analysis to evaluate the predictive influence of academic support center use on college student outcomes. Results indicated that students who had higher levels of attendance in an academic support center had higher overall grade point averages and higher rates of graduation. That is to say, students with learning disabilities who attended learning support centers regularly were more likely to have higher grades and graduate college than those who did not. © 2010, College Reading and Learning Association.

Gaul undivided: Cartography, geography and identity in france at the time of the hundred years war - Serchuk, C. (Mapping Medieval Geographies: Geographical Encounters in the Latin West and Beyond, 300-1600, 2014)
Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres. ‘All Gaul is divided into three parts.’ The opening passages of Julius Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic Wars define the target of Roman conquest in geographic terms. Caesar goes on to describe the boundaries of Gaul, its inhabitants, and their character. He does so – at least in part – to enhance the value and importance of his military triumph. The heirs to the vanquished Gauls – French medieval readers and translators of the Gallic Wars – consumed, copied and transformed Caesar’s text, preserving some features and emphasizing them, while erasing others. Although the text and its description of the divisions of Gaul enjoyed considerable popularity and influence in France throughout the Middle Ages, at the time of the Hundred Years War, when France was politically divided, French texts often replaced the tripartite form of Caesar’s Gaul with other models of geographical description. This essay will consider the changing character of geographical thinking about France by the French in the later Middle Ages – expressed in languages both visual and verbal. It will show how geography became entwined with contemporary French identity, particularly with reference to the ways that authors, artists and mapmakers received, transmitted and ignored the tradition of Caesar’s divided Gaul. Fought with the English, primarily on French soil, the war occasioned monumental division in France. Instigated by a dispute about the inheritance of the French crown, as well as over feudal rights owed the French king by his English rival, the Hundred Years War waxed and waned from 1337 to 1453. The calamities of the war were visited on France both physically, in terms of lost and plundered territory, and politically, in terms of the huge rifts that the war wrought in the fabric of French society. Not only did the French struggle against the English, but also, because of bickering, rivalry and ultimately murder among the peers of the realm, the French were also divided against one another, and thus the Hundred Years War also became a civil war. The Armagnacs (French supporters of the French king Charles VII), the Burgundians (French but for some critical years supporting the English) and the English divided France into three fractious parts that joined into fragile alliances. As divisions, they were not as coherent or distinct as Caesar’s provinces, but they divided France painfully if temporarily. © Cambridge University Press 2013.

Change in suspect's memory as a result of deception - Colwell, K.; Hiscock-Anisman, C.; Corbett, L.; Memon, A.; Hauselt, W.J.; Bonilla, Y. (American Journal of Forensic Psychology, 2011)
One hundred and eight participants either stole or replaced a stolen exam key from a professor's office. Half of the participants were instructed to respond honestly and to help with an investigation; the other half were instructed to distort their statement so they were not implicated. Participants did not know whether they would be asked to lie or report honestly during their time in the professor's office. After completing the task, participants again met with a research assistant, who instructed them whether to lie or respond honestly at a one-week follow-up. After the interview, participants completed a Likert-type post-event questionnaire. Deceivers reported significantly more anxiety and motivation not to get caught while in the office, even though there were no differences in the instructions given to the two groups until after participants left the office. Therefore, the act of deception changed their memory for their time in the office. This is important theoretically because it suggests that forming a lie script could be akin to other memories for counterfactual thinking. Practically, it is important to note that a deceptive perpetrator or detainee may never be able to actually provide an accurate account. Copyright 2011 American Journal of Forensic Psychology.

Meeting deadlines within object-oriented systems - El-Raouf, A.A. (International Conference on High Performance Computing and Simulation, 2011)
In real-time software systems, meeting deadlines is crucial. Software engineers face many challenges to model the object-oriented software system to handle complex real-time constraints. The accurate estimating of the performance time is a key criterion for a precise scheduling decision. This paper presents an object-oriented performance model that analyzes the behavior of the real-time objects' tasks whose executions are controlled by a scheduler. Each task is subject to a time/utility function (TUF) that determines the accrued utility of the task according to its completion time. The scheduling scheme uses both the estimated time generated by the object-oriented performance model and the time utility function (TUF) of each task in the object-oriented system in order to maximize the total accrued utility. In addition, we implemented a software tool to conduct experimental study in order to show the effectiveness of our approach. © 2011 IEEE.

Helmet use in connecticut motorcycle crashes: A state without a universal helmet law - Landman, A.B.; Phipps, M.S.; Jawin, K.; Bolton, L.; Van Gelder, C.M.; Kamin, R.; Teel, B.; Vaca, F.E. (Connecticut Medicine, 2011)
Objectives: Assess the association of helmet use with motorcycle crash mortality and identify characteristics of riders who do not wear helmets in Connecticut crashes. Methods: Police crash data for Connecticut motorcycle crashes 2001-2007 were analyzed. Bivariate analysis and multivariable logistic regressions were performed including age, gender, seating position, road type, season, time of day, and recklessness. Results: Of the 9,214 crashes with helmet use data available, helmets were worn in 4,072 (44.2%). Non-helmeted riders, age > 18, riding interstate or state roads, in the evening or at night, and whowereridingrecklesslywere associated withhigher odds of fatality. Predictors of nonhelmet use included males, passengers, age <18 or 30 to 59, and riding in the summer, evening or at night, and on US, state, and local roads. Conclusion: Current crash data affirm that helmets reduce fatal crashes in Connecticut. A set of factors help predictnon helmeted riders to whom safety training could be targeted.

Multimodal communication training in aphasia: A pilot study - Purdy, M.; Van Dyke, J.A. (Journal of Medical Speech-Language Pathology, 2011)
Management of patients with aphasia often focuses on training nonverbal augmentative communication strategies; however, these strategies frequently do not generalize to natural situations. The limited success may be because training was not sufficient to produce an integrated multimodal semantic representation. The purpose of this study was to examine whether simultaneous training of stimuli in both verbal and nonverbal modalities would solidify the links within the semantic network and improve switching among modalities as needed in conversation. Two individuals with severe aphasia participated in 6 to 8 hours of Multimodal Communication Training (MCT), during which they conveyed a concept by verbalizing, gesturing, writing, and drawing. After practice with all modalities for a single concept, a new concept was introduced. Results showed that one participant increased conveyance of concepts on the functional communication task using a variety of modalities. Although some improvement was seen with the second participant, his overall performance remained poor, likely because of a greater impairment in semantic knowledge. After a brief period of semantic training, the second participant demonstrated additional gains. Thus, MCT may serve to increase switching among verbal and nonverbal modalities in individuals with intact semantic representations, thereby increasing the likelihood that individuals will use an alternative method to communicate.
