Insight Into

American history textbooks, for the better part of the twentieth century, have focused on war as the primary actor. This article investigates the pervasiveness of war in textbooks and considers the e ect of such on students and their role as future policymakers. In the past decade, history textbooks have undergone a total transition toward an emphasis on social history. An examination of what this entails, and what impacts this may have on schoolchildren and society as a whole, lends insight into the e ects the study of history can have. Finally, I argue that a historian must not only choose events that illustrate the past, but also determine how those choices may a ect the future.

Insight Into

England is a country that has experienced various changes throughout the course of its history. From its land being invaded to colonizing in other lands, the cuisine has been under the constant state of adaptation and improvisation in order to meet the dietary needs of the people. This research is done to give an insight into the English Cuisine with respect to history in order to better elucidate the nature of the English food in adaptive flux through the centuries. This study shows historical data excavated from evidential books published throughout those centuries as well as articles and data published on the subject. The objectives of the research done are: To understand the nature of the English cuisine. To understand the history and origin of the English food developed. To understand the influences the cuisine had on other countries. To analyze the past events and the changes made that affect the current English Cuisine and evolution undergone. To better understand the future of the cuisine in terms of survival.

2D Shallow Water Equations

Tsunami modeling and simulation has changed in the past few years more than it had in decades, especially so with respect to coastal inundation. Among other things, this change is supported by the approaching era of exa-scale computing, whether via GPU or more likely forms of hybrid computing whose presence is growing across the geosciences. For reasons identified across this review, exa-scale computing efforts will impact the on-shore, highly turbulent r\'egime to higher degree than the 2D shallow water equations used to model tsunami propagation in the open ocean. This short review describes the different approaches to tsunami modeling from generation to impact and underlines the limits of each model based on the flow r\'egime. Moreover, from the perspective of a future comprehensive multi-scale modeling infrastructure to simulate a full tsunami, we underline the current challenges associated with this approach and review the few efforts that are currently underway to achieve this goal. A table of existing tsunami software packages is provided along with an open Github repository to allow developers and model users to update the table with additional models as they are published and help with model discoverability.

Over Time

The Academy of Accounting Historians has as its motto the Latin proverb praetera illuminet postera, the past illuminates the future. It is an apt motto in many ways. Certainly, many thoughtful accounting academics and professionals will consider how accounting theory and practice have evolved over time, and thereby gain a deeper insight into how both professional and scholarly endeavors should be conducted. But this AHJ Salmagundi article suggests another way by which the past can illuminate the future. Accounting history provides concrete examples of fundamental accounting concepts. And, because many of these examples are found in scandalous, shocking, and sordid events, the lessons could be more compellingly and vividly illustrated to the audience, by the operation of the rhetorical phenomena collectively known as the Aristotelean Triad.

This article offers an insight into past achievements in moving towards safe motherhood. Considering data from across the globe and in particular achievements in Africa, lessons that have been learned are shared and present a fitting focus for the years ahead. Co-operation, competence, compassion and commitment are the ‘four Cs’ of 21st century midwifery, and offer direction, inspiration and purpose. Promoting safer childbirth for women everywhere, especially the most vulnerable, is a shared goal in midwifery, and moving forward together with optimal skills and attitudes will enable midwives to make a real difference where it matters most.

In the past twenty or so years the scientific community has made impressive advancements in the modeling and simulation of general human cognition. This progress has led to the beginnings of wide-spread applications and use. In fact, we are now at a point where the community can begin to make fairly accurate predictions as to how this technology will be used in the next twenty–plus years. Accordingly, the purpose of this panel is to engage the community at large regarding the future needs and requirements associated with building cognitive models for various scientific and engineering endeavors. Specifically, this panel will discuss and make recommendations with regard to the future functionality of cognitive modeling that could be encompassed in next-generation capabilities. To do this, we will concentrate on four different domain areas. These are: academic use of cognitive modeling, cognitive model development, neuroscience-related issues, and practical applications of cognitive modeling.

Nowadays, phytonyms are gaining great importance in scientific linguistics, they are considered as an etymone reflecting the practical life of a person. The article proves that the names of plants preserve the cultural values of peoples, nations and ethnic groups, their history. At the same time, the names of plants occurring as an appellative in the composition of other Turkic languages, prove the definitions of names in the named language. Phytoonyms, as carriers of relics of the past culture of the Kyrgyz people, are of great importance in upbringing, the next generation in the future. Since these language units contain not only the mental characteristics of these peoples, but at the same time the typological forms of the expression of concepts in the Turkic languages are most clearly reflected. From this point of view, first of all, the author emphasizes the general linguistic meanings of phytoonyms in the formation of metaphors.

Specific Food

AbstractPrevious research reported that corvids preferentially cache food in a location where no food will be available or cache more of a specific food in a location where this food will not be available. Here, we consider possible explanations for these prospective caching behaviours and directly compare two competing hypotheses. The Compensatory Caching Hypothesis suggests that birds learn to cache more of a particular food in places where that food was less frequently available in the past. In contrast, the Future Planning Hypothesis suggests that birds recall what-when-where features of specific past events to predict the future availability of food. We designed a protocol in which the two hypotheses predict different caching patterns across different caching locations such that the two explanations can be disambiguated. We formalised the hypotheses in a Bayesian model comparison and tested this protocol in two experiments with one of the previously tested species, namely Eurasian jays. Consistently across the two experiments, the observed caching pattern did not support either hypothesis; rather it was best explained by a uniform distribution of caches over the different caching locations. Future research is needed to gain more insight into the cognitive mechanism underpinning corvids’ caching for the future.
