2020* the Year of the Asterisk by Greg Gerding Pdf

You should buy this book immediately ... because this book knows completely how much you are boiling inside. In 2020, we were deceived and misled. Each day offered a new challenge, revealed some new horror, and there was no relief in being told it was simply the nature of the world, the nature of our society. 2020 was the kind of thing that happens to people in textbooks, except it was happening in real time to all of us. And it needed to be documented. "2020 is shaping up to be one of the most garbage years in American history, what statement do you want to make about it?" This was the writing prompt advanced to the writers of the essays herein, capturing experiences both raw and personal, and attempting to make sense of the extraordinary situation we all found ourselves in. Such a confluence of issues: COVID, Trump, racism, poverty, health, sexism, police brutality, Black Lives Matter, protests, federal troops occupying American cities and beating on citizens, masks, social distancing, businesses shuttered, entire industries closed, schools moved online, major sports halted, and white noise "whataboutism." As the effects of 2020 continue rippling and the future wants to know, "What the hell happened that year?" this collection will clarify. Essays as activism, essays as testimony.

Spatial Economics for Building Back Better by Masahisa Fujita,Nobuaki Hamaguchi,Yoshihiro Kameyama Pdf

The central theme of this book is national land and infrastructure design in the age of the declining population and the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake in the affected regions in Japan. Based on the theory of spatial economics and evidence from Japanese history, the authors show that the growing economy with a population increase develops into a multi-cored and complex structure. In the population decline phase, however, such construction will be destabilized because of agglomeration economies in the central core. Then, a catastrophic shock that strikes may provoke the decline of the lower-rank-size provincial cities and their eventual disappearance if they compete only in lower prices of staple products. Not only is the practice bad for the residents; it also leads to lower national welfare resulting from the loss of diversity and overcrowded big cities. The authors argue that small local towns can recover and will be sustained if they will endeavor in innovative production by making good use of local natural resources and social capital. Under the ongoing declining population in Japan, an undesirable concentration in Tokyo will proceed further with increasing social cost and risk. The recent novel coronavirus pandemic has highlighted that concern.

Teaching and Reading New Adult Literature in High School and College by Sharon Kane Pdf

An introduction to the rapidly growing category of New Adult (NA) literature, this text provides a roadmap to understanding and introducing NA books to young people in high school, college, libraries, and other settings. As a window into the experiences and unique challenges that young and new adults encounter, New Adult literature intersects with but is distinct from Young Adult literature. This rich resource provides a framework, methods, and plentiful reading recommendations by genre, theme, and discipline on New Adult literature. Starting with a definition of New Adult literature, Kane demonstrates how the inclusion of NA literature helps support and encourage a love of reading. Chapters address important topics that are relevant to young people, including post-high school life, early careers, relationships, activism, and social change. Each chapter features text sets, instructional strategies, writing prompts, and activities to invite and encourage young people to be reflective and engaged in responding to thought-provoking texts. A welcome text for professors of literacy and literature instruction, first-year college instructors, researchers, librarians, and educators, this book provides new ways to assist students as they embark upon the next stage of their lives and is essential reading for courses on teaching literature.

Prevalence, Transmission and Control of Clinically Important Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacteria/Genes within One Health Framework by Qixia Luo,Thava Palanisami,Biao Tang,Yuyi Yang,Ximin Zeng,Zhi Ruan Pdf

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a major public health issue, attracting increased attention from governments and researchers. The spread and transmission of antimicrobial resistant bacteria/genes is not only a clinical problem, but also poses unprecedented challenges in the animal husbandry industry and is closely linked to the environment. The clinically important antimicrobial resistant bacteria and their AMR genes, such as carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative Bacilli with bla_NDM, bla_KPC, bla_IMP, bla_VIM genes, colistin-resistant Gram-negative bacteria with mcr genes, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with mec genes, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus with van genes, and tigecycline-resistant bacteria with tet(X) genes have been detected not only in health-care facilities but also in farms and environments. The concept of “One Health” emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and ecosystem health, with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria/genes occupying a unique position in close contact with all aspects.

Given the critical and interdependent nature of AMR in public health, animals and the environment, it is logical and necessary to take a "One Health" approach to address this issue. Clinically important antimicrobial resistant bacteria and genes have been reported and shown to be disseminated in humans, animals and the environment over the last few decades. The majority of these studies, however, only described resistant bacteria or genes from a single source and region, with no systematic or global conceptualization. The research on the transmission of AMR bacteria/genes has been limited and insufficient. A growing number of AMR-related proposals and policies have emerged, but few AMR control policy studies have been reported due to a lack of understanding of each participant's perspectives, values and goals. In this context, studies on the prevalence, transmission and control of clinically important AMR within the "One Health" framework are in line with demand.
