No full textAirborne mineral dust has dilatant influences on the atmosphere and local environment: dust aerosols function as cloud condensation and ice nuclei, interact with radiation, fertilize maritime ecosystems, and are harmful to the human respiratory system. In arid regions, dust storms can loft an enormous amount of dust particles into the atmosphere and reduce visibility to near zero. In particular, the Arabian Peninsula reports frequent severe dust outbreaks as a result of strong surface winds, forced either by synoptic dynamics or mesoscale downdrafts, known as haboobs. Current forecast and climate models are run at high enough resolution to simulate synoptic events but still employ convective parameterizations, which are incapable of resolving many mesoscale processes. As such, the prediction of dust storms, specifically the location and timing of haboobs, remains a significant forecasting challenge. To understand the uncertainty introduced in the location and concentration of mineral dust via the use of convective parameterizations, the ratio of convective to non-convective dust events must first be established.
This study seeks to identify the origins of regional dust events across the Arabian Peninsula and quantify the relative contributions of synoptic versus mesoscale dust lofting. Here, the Weather Research and Forecasting Model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) is used to simulate a 2016 summertime dust outbreak over the Arabian Peninsula. Several coarse grid simulations with various convective parameterizations are compared against the same runs with the convective parameterizations turned off, leaving only synoptic sources of dust lofting. These results are then contrasted against a fine grid simulation with resolved convection. For simulations including convection, the inception of individual dust plumes is separated into convective and non-convective source categories. Dust concentrations based on origin are then analyzed with respect to total domain dust abundance as well as horizontal and vertical extent. Results suggest that convective dust lofting over the Arabian Peninsula is a substantial source of dust to the atmosphere, and concentrations differ between simulations with convective parameterizations and those explicitly resolving convection
”We kind of read books” : a qualitative study of fourth grade students’ conduct at their school library
No full textThe aim of this study was to contribute with knowledge that complements research on the design and development of school libraries. This has been achieved through field studies from a sociocultural perspective using the theories of Vygotsky. Previous research shows a gap between how a school library is said to function and how it is in fact used. To investigate actual conduct the author performed observations and focus group interviews with fourth-grade students at ISGR, The International School of the Gothenburg Region. The results reveal a wide range of activities in the school library, such as information retrieval, reading, browsing for books, talking, hanging out, borrowing and returning books, receiving education and working on projects. One interesting discovery was that a visit to the school library appeared to be a collective action, and not solitary as one could suspect. Students browsed together with classmates or the librarian, read out loud toeach other and sat together reading, writing, talking and playing games. When enabled, the higher psychological processes in Vygotsky’s theory can roam free in the school library. The author concludes that it is not possible to generalise from this study, but that the value of a place where you can do all the above in a calmand stress-free environment should not be underestimated. The school library can be a place not only for silent studies, but for social exchange among carefully chosen books, furniture, technology and personnel to support all actions, including personal growth

The Blue Ribbon Cook Book
No full textJennie C. Benedict’s The Blue Ribbon Cook Book represents the very best in the tradition of southern regional cooking. Recipes for such classic dishes as Parker House rolls, lamb chops, corn pudding, Waldorf salad, and cheese and nut sandwiches are nestled among longtime local favorites such as apple butter, rice pudding, griddle cakes, and Benedictine, the cucumber sandwich spread bore Benedict’s name.
Throughout the cookbook, Benedict’s delightful voice shines. Benedict, who was once the most famous caterer in Louisville and also operated a celebrated tea room and soda fountain, trained with Fannie Farmer at the Boston Cooking School. Five editions of Benedict’s famous cookbook were published, and her aim in sharing her recipes was simple; as she mentions in the preface, “I have tried to give the young housekeeper just what she needs, and for more experienced ones, the best that can be had in the culinary art.”
As a creative entrepreneur, Benedict had a significant influence on the local culture and foodways. Her sweet and savory dishes were the stars of many Derby parties, and yet she placed equal emphasis on simple luncheon and dinner recipes to satisfy the needs of home cooks. While her popular dishes graced genteel tables all over the Bluegrass, Benedict’s chicken salad sandwiches, sold from a pushcart, offered Louisville children the first school lunches in the city.
This new edition of The Blue Ribbon Cook Book will now welcome new generations of readers and cooks—those who remember wearing white gloves and eating delicate tea sandwiches at the downtown department store as well as those who want to make satisfying regional classics such as blackberry jam cake like their grandmother used to make. Food writer Susan Reigler introduces the story of Benedict’s life and cuisine, and this edition is the first to come complete with the now-famous spread that bears Benedict’s name.
Jennie C. Benedict (1860–1928) published numerous books in her lifetime and is most famous for the several editions of her Blue Ribbon Cook Book. Benedict was born in Harrods Creek, Kentucky, near Louisville. Susan Reigler is a former restaurant critic at the Louisville Courier-Journal and is the author of the Compass American Guide to Kentucky and Adventures in Dining: Kentucky Bourbon Country.
The Blue Ribbon Cook Book is one of the iconic texts in Kentucky\u27s illustrious cookbook history--and few states have produced as many fine collections of recipes. In this sparkling lineup of food stars, none outshone Miss Jennie. She had it all: the kitchen touch, the business sense, the communication skills, the personality. Kentucky is renowned as a fountainhead of superior cookery in no small part because of Jennie C. Benedict\u27s impact in the food world generations ago. [ . . . ] A timely collection. . . . Comprehensive, concise and easy-to-use recipes [offer] more than just a bit of Kentucky flavor. —John Egerton, author of Generations
The Blue Ribbon Cook Book is a Louisville treasure. Not only does it evoke great memories of downtown Saturday lunchces at Stewarts and The Colonnade, but also culinary traditions passed down to me by my grandmother who considered Jennie Benedict the last word on luncheons and entertaining. While friends were busy playing jacks and jumping rope, I was learning to make Charlotte Russe, Benedictine and dreaming up my own Garden Sandwiches for a real tea party. I am eternally grateful. —Linda Allison-Lewis Kentucky Living Food Columnist and author of Kentucky\u27s Best: 50 Years of Great Recipes
Three cheers to Susan Reigler and the University Press of Kentucky for publishing Miss Jennie\u27s Blue Ribbon Cookbook! Susan gets to the heart of this celebrated character in her Introduction to the book; and in addition to the recipes Susan cites, I am fascinated by the chapters on Menus at the end of the book. Today\u27s cooks still have much to learn from Jennie Benedict\u27s honest, straightforward, confident writing! —Kathy Cary, Chef/Owner, Lilly\u27s Bistro, Louisville
The University Press of Kentucky has brought back to life the person and recipes of Jennie Carter Benedict, a true Louisville, Kentucky, and American woman who shaped and influenced the way we ate in the first quarter of the 20th century. —Jan Longone, Curator of American Culinary History, Clements Library, University of Michigan
The Blue Ribbon Cook Book is a timely collection that is certain to bring more than just a bit of Kentucky flavor to the family dinner table. —Larry Cox, Tucson Citizen
All in all, it’s a marvelous read, and a delicious way to revisit the Commonwealth’s culinary tradition. —courier-journal.com
Indeed, if you had only one cookbook in your home, this wouldn’t be a bad one to consider, with its comprehensive, concise and easy-to-use recipes. —Sun Herald
The entire cookbook is charming. —Voice-Tribune
Reigler gives an interesting picture of the woman who, in 1893, started a catering business from her home. —Louisville Courier-Journal
The book is a perfect choice for people who are interested in the history of cooking, or for people who crave dishes like the Hickory Nut Cake they had as a child. —Armchair Interviews
The joys of historical research include unexpected discoveries that pop up as you pursue a topic. . . . One such detour began when I was working on a story about the Kentucky Derby. I read about the famous Benedictine Sandwich, served on Derby Day in Kentucky, that was created by Jennie Benedict. Because of that I bough her wonderful [Blue Ribbon Cookbook]. Her book is rich with recipes . . . just clean concise recipes and advice on menus for small to large parties, luncheons, dainty menus, and simple dishes for the sick. —blogcritics.org
Jennie Benedict’s work defined early 20th century middle class cooking in Kentucky and her legacy continues to be found on restaurant menus and served on home tables across the state. . . . Many of the recipes contained in this cookbook are considered classics. —hubpages.com
This text will be useful for the novice and experienced cook to locate those long lost recipes which were often passed from cook to cook. —Southeast Librarianhttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_business/1004/thumbnail.jp
Lilla Trädalen : En studie om materialval och märkningar på leksaker som konsumeras i Sverige utifrån aspekter som hållbarhet och miljö.
No full textSyftet med studien är att ur et designperspektiv undersöka skillnader och likheter av material och märkningar på leksaker som säljs i Sverige utifrån aspekter som hållbarhet och miljö. Den första frågeställningen: ” Hur kommuniceras märkningar visuellt på ett urval förpackningar för plast och träleksaker?”. Samt den andra frågeställningen: ” Hur ser materialvalet ut på ett urval förpackningar?”, undersöktes genom en visuell research på ett urval leksaksförpackningar från tre olika leksaksbutiker i Birsta citys handelsområde. För att besvara den tredje och sista frågeställningen: ”Hur förhåller sig ett urval människor till hållbar konsumtion av leksaker?” utfördes interjuver med ett urval respondenter. Resultatet av den visuella researchen visade att märkningarna på leksaksförpackningarna som undersöktes i stort sett ser likadan ut. De visade även att förändringar kan vara nödvändiga för att märkningens betydelse och budskap tydligare ska nå fram. Av intervjuerna framkom de att respondenterna såg hållbar konsumtion som något positivt. Respondenterna var alla överens om att alla har ett ansvar att konsumera mer hållbart. Delar av respondenterna ansåg att bristen på tydlig information och märkningar försvårar deras möjligheter att konsumera leksaker på ett mer hållbart sätt. Studien utgår ifrån två av de 17 olika globala hållbarhetsmålen, mål 12-hållbar konsumtion och mål 13-bekämpa klimatförändringarna.

Novelistic Love in the Platonic Tradition: Fielding, Faulkner and the Postmodernists
No full textThe love story is an integral part of many novels. What is its narrative status? How does it function, and why? In this original study of Socratic \u27love stories,\u27 from Plato through Fielding and Faulkner to the Postmodernists, Jennie Wang proposes a new narrative theory in the study of the novel, which deconstructs the mimesis of \u27love stories\u27 and reconstructs their historicity. Wang claims that in the Platonic tradition, the construction of \u27love stories\u27 is often a dramatization of the author\u27s historical vision, philosophical speculations, cultural criticism, or political ideology. Novelistic love functions as a literary medium, a power of free speech, that enables the novelist to speak unspeakable truths and include excluded subjects. -- Provided by publisherhttps://scholarworks.uni.edu/facbook/1090/thumbnail.jp
