Inspired by the award-winning poet and actor’s acclaimed one-man play, a powerful coming-of-age memoir that reimagines masculinity for the twenty-first-century male. Award-winning poet, actor, and writer Carlos Andrés Gómez is a supremely gifted storyteller with a captivating voice whose power resonates equally on the live stage and on the page. In one of his most moving spoken-word poems, Gómez recounts a confrontation he once had after accidentally bumping into another man at a club. Just as they were about to fight, Gómez experienced an unexplainable surge of emotion that made his eyes well up with tears. Everyone at the scene jumped back, as if crying, or showing vulnerability, was the most insane thing that Gómez could possibly have done. Like many men in our society, Gómez grew up believing that he had to be ready to fight at all times, treat women as objects, and close off his emotional self. It wasn’t until he discovered acting that he began to see the true cost of squelching one’s emotions—and how aggression dominates everything that young males are taught. Statistics on graduation rates, employment, and teen and young-adult suicide make it clear that the young males in our society are at a crisis point, but Gómez seeks to reverse these ominous trends by sharing the lessons that he has learned. Like Hill Harper’s Letters to a Young Brother, Man Up will be an agent for positive change, galvanizing men—but also mothers, girlfriends, wives, and sisters—to rethink and reimagine the way all men interact with women, deal with violence, handle fear, and express emotion.

The serious illness of three presidents—Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy—as well as the injury Ronald Reagan received in the assassination attempt upon him have revealed our woefully inadequate system for handling presidential incapacity. The authors believe that this flawed system poses a major threat to the nation, and they provide sobering reports on how the government functioned (or failed to function) during times of presidential impairment. The public was kept in the dark regarding the gravity of the presidential condition, often unaware that critical decisions were being made while the president was suffering from a severe illness. Hidden Illness in the White House contains startling new information on the severity of Roosevelt’s illness during the crucial Yalta negotiations and the fact that Kennedy suffered from Addison’s disease, a life-threatening illness, long before he was elected to the presidency. In each case the authors demonstrate that a largely successful effort was made to conceal the president’s true medical condition from the public.

The book presents a wide range of recent research results about parsing schemata, introducing formal frameworks and theoretical results while keeping a constant focus on applicability to practical parsing problems. The first part includes a general introduction to the parsing schemata formalism that contains the basic notions needed to understand the rest of the parts. Thus, this compendium can be used as an introduction to natural language parsing, allowing postgraduate students not only to get a solid grasp of the fundamental concepts underlying parsing algorithms, but also an understanding of the latest developments and challenges in the field.Researchers in computational linguistics will find novel results where parsing schemata are applied to current problems that are being actively researched in the computational linguistics community (like dependency parsing, robust parsing, or the treatment of non-projective linguistics phenomena). This book not only explains these results in a more detailed, comprehensive and self-contained way, and highlights the relations between them, but also includes new contributions that have not been presented.

The Global Feathers of Disease: Unveiling Avian Influenza''s Hidden Reach is a comprehensive anthology of scientific journal articles that delve into the multifaceted impact of avian influenza. From the University of Ilorin''s exploration of the economic impacts on local poultry consumption in Nigeria, to a systematic review of serological and molecular studies in Latin America, this book provides a global perspective on this pervasive viral threat. Detailed studies analyze the potential pandemic risks of the H9N2 subtype, the emergence of novel reassortant H1N1 isolates in Korean wild birds, and extensive surveillance data from the United States. Insights into the live bird markets in Bangladesh reveal the virus''s persistence in commerce hubs, while discussions on migratory bird pathways highlight the intricate relationships between ecology and virus spread. The book also examines effective screening protocols in tertiary hospitals for practical management of infections. Concluding with a call for coordinated global responses, this collection underscores the need for vigilant surveillance, preparedness, and international cooperation.

"Traditional definitions of aggressive behaviours have emphasized acts of physical and verbal aggression. By labelling behaviours such as gossip, manipulation or social isolation as aggressive acts, the traditional definition of aggression has been challenged and expanded. Consequently, relational aggression has emerged as a prolific field of study. In this context, researchers have examined the characteristics and associations of these behaviours with psychological constructs. Particular attention has been placed on the role of psychological variables in the prediction of relational aggression. In addition, researchers have analyzed the influence of chronological age and sex on the manifestation of relational aggressive acts. This dissertation is comprised of two manuscripts that collectively contribute to the literature by documenting characteristics and predictors of relational aggression and gossip in children between the ages of 6 to 9 years old, as well as the role of chronological age and sex in such associations.The first manuscript in this research program examined whether age moderates the relationship between cognitive factors (theory of mind and attribution of intentions) and relational aggression. Participants (N = 426; 216 boys) between 6 and 9 years of age (M = 97.43 months, SD = 10.98) were asked to complete theory of mind tasks and answer an attribution of intentions questionnaire. Teachers of the students evaluated their students'' social behaviours, including relationally aggressive acts. Results suggest that theory of mind did affect relational aggression, while this association was moderated by chronological age. Specifically, it was found that the association between theory of mind and relational aggression was only significant for younger participants. Taken together, findings from this manuscript partially support the assertion that sophisticated cognitive skills are a prerequisite for indirect acts of aggression. The second manuscript in the current research program examined the role of sex on the relationship between cognitive (theory of mind and attribution of intentions), emotional (empathy) and social (perceived popularity) factors, and gossip. Participants (N = 422; 216 boys) aged between 6 to 9 years old were asked to nominate their best friends, resulting in 211 dyads. Interactions within each dyad were recorded and codified. Differences in predictors of gossip were found across sexes, such that gossip was associated positively with theory of mind and perceived popularity only for boys. None of the examined factors predicted gossip in girls. Results suggest that sharing information was the most common function of gossip; positive gossip was more common than negative gossip; and peers were the most frequent target of this behaviour. All in all, results from the second manuscript suggest that boys and girls engaged in gossip, yet different predictors explain this phenomenon across sexes.Taken together, the findings from the current research program provide empirical support for theoretical discussion about the impact of cognitive, emotional and social factors in the manifestation of relational aggression and gossip. In addition, the results delineate the effects of chronological age and sex on the association between psychological attributes and relational aggression and gossip." --

A rich literature shows that ethnic discrimination is an omnipresent and highly persistent phenomenon. Little is known, however, about how to reduce discrimination. This study reports the results of a large-scale field experiment we ran together with the Norwegian Football Federation. The federation sent an email to a random selection of about 500 amateur soccer coaches, pointing towards the important role that soccer can play in promoting inclusivity and reducing racism in society and calling on the coaches to be open to all interested applicants. Two weeks later, we sent fictitious applications to join an amateur club, using either a native-sounding or a foreign-sounding name, to the same coaches and to a random selection of about 500 coaches who form the control group. In line with earlier research, we find that applications from people with a native-sounding name receive significantly more positive responses than applications from people with a foreign-sounding name. Surprisingly and unintentionally, the email from the federation substantially increased rather than decreased this gap. Our study underlines the importance of running field experiments to check whether well-intended initiatives are effective in reducing discrimination.

In a two sectors dynamic model we analyze the process of tourism development based on the accumulation of capital (building of tourism facilities) and the reallocation of land from traditional activities to the tourism sector. The model incorporates the conflict between occupation of the territory by the tourism facilities, other productive activities and availability of cultural, natural and environmental assets that are valued by residents and visitors. We characterize the process of tourism development in two settings: the socially optimal solution and a situation where the costs of tourism expansion are external to the decision makers, where externalities on residents as well as intraindustry externalities are considered. Regarding the optimal solution, we show that it is optimal to limit tourism expansion before it reaches its maximum capacity even in a context where the economic attractiveness of tourism relative to other productive sectors rise continuously. However, in this context and when all the costs of tourism development are externalities the only limit to tourism quantitative expansion is its maximum capacity determined by the availability of land. Finally, we show that excessive environmental degradation from the future generations'' point of view is not a problem of discounting the future but rather a problem of externalities that affects negatively the current and future generations.

In this paper, we examine how the number of African American and White American coaches in college basketball evolved since 1947. Particularly, we focus on 1973 when the league split up. The separation created asymmetric regulatory requirements. This led to a significant difference in the number of African American coaches. The evidence suggests that less regulated institutions employ fewer African American coaches. The results are time consistent, not clustered geographically, and unrelated to specific institutions. Our results have policy implications for college sports as well as other industries which have similar working conditions.
