There has been much written, from many perspectives, about the French revolution and Marie Antoinette over the years. however, Farewell My Queens, from Marie Antoinette to Farah Diba, by Dr. Ellie Abdi, Stewart Essence Parr, Nooshin Manshadi and edited by Marjorie Sara Mamman is the fi rst I have read that compares the tragic lives of the queen of France and those of the three ill-fated queens of Iran: Fawzia Fuad of Egypt, Soraya Esfandyari Bakhteyari, and Farah Diba. While these Persian queens did not share the ultimate sacrifi ce of death under the blade of the guillotine, as did Marie Antoinette, as outsiders, these four queens all endured the stifl ing and controlling life at court and the pressure to produce an heir.
Current Research in Internal Medical Sciences is serving an academic forum for both academics and researchers working in such fields. Internal medical sciences research is an interdisciplinary by nature. So it covers several fields Besides, have been used as a research method for the contemporary issues relevant to internal medical sciences. In this book, the academics working in different fields share their results with the scientific community. Thus more researchers will be aware of these studies and have some new ideas for their future studies. The selected articles have been reviewed and approved for publication by referees. It is hoped that the book will be of interest and of value to academics and researchers

The demographics of aging –whether differences in life expectancy or shouldering the burden of care for our aging populations—reflect that aging is indeed a women’s issue. In the field of Aging and Public Health, there are many highly influential and successful women who are contributing to the field and tackling important questions about risk factors for successful aging as well intervention strategies for promoting health and quality of life across the life-course.
Writing or managing a scientific book, as it is known today, depends on a series of major activities, such as regrouping researchers, reviewing chapters, informing and exchanging with contributors, and at the very least, motivating them to achieve the objective of publication. The idea of this book arose from many years of work in biomechanics, health disease, and rehabilitation. Through exchanges with authors from several countries, we learned much from each other, and we decided with the publisher to transfer this knowledge to readers interested in the current understanding of the impact of biomechanics in the analysis of movement and its optimization. The main objective is to provide some interesting articles that show the scope of biomechanical analysis and technologies in human behavior tasks. Engineers, researchers, and students from biomedical engineering and health sciences, as well as industrial professionals, can benefit from this compendium of knowledge about biomechanics applied to the human body.
This book offers a broad perspective on the field of cognitive engineering and neuroergonomics, covering emerging practices and future trends toward the harmonious integration of human operators and computer systems. It presents novel theoretical findings on mental workload and stress, activity theory, human reliability, error and risk, and neuroergonomic measures alike, together with a wealth of cutting-edge applications. Further, the book describes key advances in our understanding of cognitive processes, including mechanisms of perception, memory, reasoning, and motor response, with a special emphasis on their role in interactions between humans and other elements of computer-based systems. Based on the AHFE 2019 affiliated conference on Neuroergonomics and Cognitive Engineering, held on July 24-28, 2019, in Washington D.C., USA, it provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the current challenges in cognitive computing and factors influencing human performance.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part, on educating our children in diverse America, is written for teachers, college students, parents, and the general public that is interested in understanding the social and cultural matrix of American education. This part will provide and remind the readers certain reasoning and considerations for delivering educational aspirations. Readers are introduced to sound research grounded in various issues with reflection on critically important concerns such as multiculturalism, language, immigration and acceptance, class, ethnicity and race, homosexuality, exceptionality, and religion in todays diverse society. It highlights on why teachers shou...
Ellie Quicke has her work cut out when past wrongdoings put the future of a child she’s grown to love at stake Ellie opens the door to a man who is a stranger but instantly recognisable as the father of her housekeeper’s brilliant but difficult young son. Mikey had been conceived at a party during which his mother Vera, a schoolgirl, had been drugged and raped. Abdi hadn’t wanted anything further to do with her – then. Twelve years later he is a high-flying consultant whose wife cannot have children, and he aims to pay off Vera and adopt Mikey: a suggestion that does not go down well. Ellie discovers that Vera still thinks fondly of her then boyfriend, even though he had also rejected her after that fatal night. But was that because he had fallen out of love with her, or because his father had been murdered that same weekend? Could the two events have been connected? And what part had Vera’s closest friends and her family played in the tragedy? Uncovering betrayals between friends and discovering the greed and jealousies behind past events only makes it more difficult for Vera and Mikey to decide on their future . . .
Many researchers have confirmed that students with disabilities engage in significantly less physical activity than their nondisabled peers in physical education class. One of the elements that influences student participation in physical education class is attitude and there is a gap in the literature with respect to investigating the attitudes of students with learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral disabilities, or attention difficulties. There is limited research on how teachers perceive and assist students to participate in physical education. This dissertation is looking specifically at enjoyment and useful attitudes of physical activity in physical education class for students with learning disabilities.
