God's Teardrop is one woman's story of heaven's response to a world filled with: racism, sexism, bullies, oppression, shame, guilt, and addiction. This is the life journey of a survivor who cried out from the depth of her soul. Dellenna Harper takes the reader through the darkness of addiction and prostitution, to the challenges of recovery and the incredible resilience of the human spirt. What Dellenna shares is honest and inspirational and provides a pathway that others may follow. People struggling with addiction, people in recovery, families affected by addiction will all find hope by following Dellenna's transformation. One reviewer wrote: "Dellenna's gripping story is a must-read for parents and friends trying to understand and deal with their addicted loved ones. Not only does she explain how self-hatred, guilt, and shame lead an addicted person to numb themselves from pain, she also reveals how overwhelmingly difficult it is to recover. You can send an addict to jail or treatment centers as often as you want, but if the person herself is not ready to recover, there is nothing you can do to help. "A major insight Dellenna finally realized in her life was that she needed to get help from women. She could manipulate men. It was the women who told her the truth. That's why her stay at Jennifer House for women ex-offenders in Rochester was such a turning point in her sobriety. "Knowing there was a happy ending helped me to endure paging through the excruciating tale of her years on dangerous streets and in frigid crack houses. I am so proud of Dellenna's inner strength and faith in God that finally proved victorious in her battle with prostitution and drugs. As she concluded, 'My worst day clean is ten times better than my best day getting high.' "
Deadly Season – Analysis of the 2011 Tornado Outbreaks

In 2011, despite continued developments in forecasting, tracking, and warning technology, the United States was hit by the deadliest tornado season in decades. More than 1,200 tornadoes touched down, shattering communities and their safety nets and killing more than 500 people - a death toll unmatched since 1953. Drawing on the unique analysis described in their first book, "Economic and Societal Impacts of Tornadoes", economists Kevin M. Simmons and Daniel Sutter here examine the factors that contributed to the outcomes of such tornadoes as the mid-April outbreak that devastated communities in North Carolina, the "Super Outbreak" across the southern and eastern United States in late April, and the single, mile-wide funnel that touched down in Joplin, Missouri in late May. In the course of their study the authors identify patterns and anomalies and reconsider previous assertions about the effectiveness of the Doppler radar and storm warning systems. Their conclusions, as well their assessment of early recovery efforts, are aimed at helping community leaders and policymakers keep vulnerable populations safer in the future.

Interdisciplinary research and youth sport injury: developing methodological insights
Solveig E. S. Hausken-Sutter

nidottu
Recognising sport injuries as complex phenomena has urged calls for alternative research approaches to better understand their causes. Instead of adhering to traditional research approaches only, scholars advocate for a methodological pluralism, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods and integrating knowledge from different disciplines. Such integrated approaches offer a more comprehensive understanding of sport injuries by addressing their multifaceted and intricate nature. While integrated research approaches in sport science are gaining momentum, their focus has primarily centred on adult athlete health. However, given the prevalence of youth sport injuries and their significant consequences, it is necessary to develop effective approaches for studying them. Moreover, there is a lack of best practices for how to integrate methods and knowledge from different disciplines in youth sport injury research. Addressing these gaps is crucial for informing comprehensive injury prevention interventions. The overall aim of this thesis is to explore and explain the methodological insights that can be gained from conducting interdisciplinary youth sport injury research. Three research questions guide the thesis: 1) What is the base of existing disciplinary knowledge on youth sport injuries and how does this knowledge shape the understanding of youth sport injuries? 2) What contextual and methodological issues are important to consider in interdisciplinary youth sport injury research? 3) How can qualitative and quantitative youth sport injury data be integrated in an interdisciplinary research process? The thesis incorporates four journal papers and presents these in the following framework text embedding the conducted research papers into a broader theoretical perspective. The four central papers are: a research protocol paper, a narrative review of literature, a paper describing the adaption and application of a questionnaire to youth football players, and a methodological paper focusing on the integration of qualitative and quantitative youth sport injury data as part of an interdisciplinary research process. All of these papers were developed within the interdisciplinary research project ‘Injury-free children and adolescents: Towards better practice in Swedish football (FIT project)’. The thesis has generated three broad insights that correspond to the research questions. First, existing knowledge on youth sport injuries stems from several fields, including biomedicine, sport psychology and sport sociology, underscoring the complex and interdisciplinary nature of youth sport injuries. Second, contextual factors significantly impact youth sport injuries, making it necessary for future researchers to account for these influences when developing research tools and addressing ethical concerns during the interdisciplinary research process. Third, integration of qualitative and quantitative youth sport injury data is facilitated through a three-stage procedure that enables common ground, a comparison of different types of data, and dialogue across disciplinary boundaries. Overall, the thesis showcases three vital components crucial to interdisciplinary research: Synthesisation, contextualisation, and integration. The thesis also highlights the need for further exploration of interdisciplinary practices’ possibilities and limitations related to integration and their application in developing complex injury prevention interventions.
Guide to FPGA Implementation of Arithmetic Functions

This book is designed both for FPGA users interested in developing new, specific components - generally for reducing execution times –and IP core designers interested in extending their catalog of specific components. The main focus is circuit synthesis and the discussion shows, for example, how a given algorithm executing some complex function can be translated to a synthesizable circuit description, as well as which are the best choices the designer can make to reduce the circuit cost, latency, or power consumption. This is not a book on algorithms. It is a book that shows how to translate efficiently an algorithm to a circuit, using techniques such as parallelism, pipeline, loop unrolling, and others. Numerous examples of FPGA implementation are described throughout this book and the circuits are modeled in VHDL. Complete and synthesizable source files are available for download.

You are made of more atoms than there are stars in the universe. In Atomic Universe, we follow just one of those atoms on an astonishing journey backwards through time - all the way to the Big Bang. Moving in reverse through the history of everything, you'll witness the birth of stars, feel the violence of the collision that created Earth, and imagine the first sound ever to break the silence of the cosmos. As the clock runs backwards, the vast timeline of the universe begins to collapse: millions of years become minutes, minutes become seconds, until there are just 15 minutes to go... a nanosecond... and then, at last, the instant of the Big Bang itself. Along the way, Atomic Universe also tells the remarkable story of the atom - one of the smallest things in existence, yet the key to understanding almost everything we can (and can't) see. Through the discoveries that revealed the atom's secrets, the book shows how the unimaginably tiny and the unimaginably vast are inextricably linked - and how we are all part of that same cosmic story.
What did nineteenth-century cities smell like? And how did odors matter in the formation of a modern environmental consciousness? Smell Detectives follows the nineteenth-century Americans who used their noses to make sense of the sanitary challenges caused by rapid urban and industrial growth. Melanie Kiechle examines nuisance complaints, medical writings, domestic advice, and myriad discussions of what constituted fresh air, and argues that nineteenth-century city dwellers, anxious about the air they breathed, attempted to create healthier cities by detecting and then mitigating the most menacing odors.Medical theories in the nineteenth century assumed that foul odors caused disease and that overcrowded cities—filled with new and stronger stinks—were synonymous with disease and danger. But the sources of offending odors proved difficult to pinpoint. The creation of city health boards introduced new conflicts between complaining citizens and the officials in charge of the air. Smell Detectives looks at the relationship between the construction of scientific expertise, on the one hand, and "common sense"—the olfactory experiences of common people—on the other. Although the rise of germ theory revolutionized medical knowledge and ultimately undid this form of sensory knowing, Smell Detectives recovers how city residents used their sense of smell and their health concerns about foul odors to understand, adjust to, and fight against urban environmental changes.
On April 18, 1906, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook the San Francisco region, igniting fires that burned half the city. The disaster in all its elements — earthquake, fires, and recovery — profoundly disrupted the urban order and challenged San Francisco's perceived permanence.The crisis temporarily broke down spatial divisions of class and race and highlighted the contested terrain of urban nature in an era of widespread class conflict, simmering ethnic tensions, and controversial reform efforts. From a proposal to expel Chinatown from the city center to a vision of San Francisco paved with concrete in the name of sanitation, the process of reconstruction involved reenvisioning the places of both people and nature. In their zeal to restore their city, San Franciscans downplayed the role of the earthquake and persisted in choosing patterns of development that exacerbated risk.In this close study of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Joanna L. Dyl examines the decades leading up to the catastrophic event and the city's recovery from it. Combining urban environmental history and disaster studies, Seismic City demonstrates how the crisis and subsequent rebuilding reflect the dynamic interplay of natural and human influences that have shaped San Francisco.
From green-lifestyle mavens who endorse products on social media to natural health activists sponsored by organic food companies, the marketplace for advice about how to live life naturally is better stocked than ever. Where did the curious idea of buying one's way to sustainability come from?In no small part, as Andrew Case shows, the answer lies in the story of entrepreneur and reformer J. I. Rodale, his son Robert Rodale, and their company, the Rodale Press. These pioneers of organic gardening were also pioneers in cultivating a niche for natural health products in the 1950s, organizing the emerging marketplace for organic foods in the 1960s, and publishing an endless supply of advice books on diet and health in the process.Rodale's marketplace environmentalism brought environmentally minded consumers together and taught Americans how to grow food, eat, and live in more environmentally friendly ways. Yet the marketplace has proved more effective at addressing individual health concerns than creating public health interventions. It is as liable to champion untested and ineffectual health supplements as it is to challenge the indiscriminant use of dangerous pesticides. For anyone trying to make sense of the complex tensions between business profits and the desire for environmental reform, The Organic Profit is essential reading.
Japan today defends its controversial whaling expeditions by invoking tradition—but what was the historical reality? In examining the techniques and impacts of whaling during the Tokugawa period (1603–1868), Jakobina Arch shows that the organized, shore-based whaling that first developed during these years bore little resemblance to modern Japanese whaling. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from whaling ledgers to recipe books and gravestones for fetal whales, she traces how the images of whales and by-products of commercial whaling were woven into the lives of people throughout Japan. Economically, Pacific Ocean resources were central in supporting the expanding Tokugawa state.In this vivid and nuanced study of how the Japanese people brought whales ashore during the Tokugawa period, Arch makes important contributions to both environmental and Japanese history by connecting Japanese whaling to marine environmental history in the Pacific, including the devastating impact of American whaling in the nineteenth century.
