Day care in Alberta has had a remarkably durable history as a controversial issue. Since the late 1950s, disputes over day care programs, policies, and funding have been a recurring feature of political life in the province. Alberta's Day Care Controversy traces the development of day care policies and programs in Alberta, with particular emphasis on policy decisions and program initiatives tha…
Artikel “Siapakah yang, meskipun dicintai, tetap miskin?” mengkaji pernikahan sebagai praktik sosial yang berada di persimpangan antara cinta, materialitas, dan mediasi media. Dengan menyoroti dimensi material—seperti biaya, benda simbolik, dan konsumsi—serta dimensi media—termasuk dokumentasi visual, media sosial, dan representasi publik—tulisan ini menunjukkan bagaimana pernikahan…
This volume presents a range of research approaches to the exploration of ageing during a pandemic situation. One of the first collections of its kind, it offers an array of studies employing research methodologies that lend themselves to replication in similar contexts by those seeking to understand the effects of epidemics on older people. Thematically organised, it shows how to reconcile qua…
A gel is a state of matter that consists of a three-dimensional cross-linked polymer network and a large amount of solvent. Because of their structural characteristics, gels play important roles in science and technology. The science of gels has attracted much attention since the discovery of the volume phase transition by Professor Toyoichi Tanala at MIT in 1978. MDPI planned to publish a Spec…
Quantification of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and dynamics is required for and applied to different frameworks, situations and scales, ranging from an experimental plot (for evaluating treatment effects) to whole fields (e.g. in SOC-accounting or crediting systems) and inventories of whole countries or continents (Orgiazzi et al., 2018, Saby et al., 2008, Bolinder et al., 2010, Viscar…
Advances in ME/CFS Research and Clinical Care spotlights Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): a maligned, stigmatized, under-researched disease, which lacks a definitive, objective clinical test for its diagnosis, and definitive palliative and curative treatments. A few brave physicians attempt to alleviate the suffering of the afflicted
Hot forming combined with austempering and quenching and partitioning (QP) processes have been used to shape two cold rolled high silicon steel sheets into hat profiles. Thermal simulation on a Gleeble instrument was employed to optimize processing variables to achieve an optimum combination of strength and ductility in the final parts
This study estimated the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) and CAFE targets of Japan’s domestic automobile manufacturers and evaluated whether manufactures have achieved these estimated CAFE targets. Furthermore, an analysis framework was proposed for estimating what impact the introduction of the CAFE standards in Japan will have on motor vehicle-derived lifecycle CO2 emissions
