Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Abstract This article argues that W. E. B. Du Bois grounded his seminal conceptualisation of “the Negro church” in a Pan‐Africanist challenge to how Christian reformers and missionaries' usage of “Darkest Africa” as a metaphor for modern urban vice and poverty denigrated Africa and the African diaspora while promoting a segregated, imperialist version ...

Abstract Participants in Russia's 1825 Decembrist uprising against the Tsarist regime were, quite literally, a case study in French cultural influence upon Russia. This is particularly true as it relates to Russia's emotional cultures. Although this has not, traditionally, been the primary focus of historical analysis of this event (in Soviet or ...

Abstract This article examines the Yeditepe Biennial—Turkey's first Islamic and traditional arts biennial—as a creative festival shaped by the socio‐political and spatial dynamics of Turkish‐Islamist nationalism. Counterposed against the Istanbul Biennial and the Western‐oriented secular cultural legacy of the Turkish Republic, the Yeditepe Biennial ...

Abstract Discourse around drug policy presents a stark contrast between policing and harm reduction models, sparking debates on the state's regulatory versus protective role. Canada is an ideal case to study drug policy models due to its global recognition as a leader in harm reduction alongside continued reliance on policing of drugs.

Experimental validation of MHD arc simulation in encapsulated horn gap arrangements [PDF]
This work describes the use of experimental methods on model spark gaps for comparison with the simulation models (MHD) from the ignition of the impulse arc to the entry of the arc into the arc chamber, taking into account material effects and thermal ...
