Drawing it Properly: An Examination of Smoking Portrayals in Texts on How to Draw in the Noir Graphic Novel/Comic Book Style
(Universala Medicina Esperanto Asocio, 2023-06)Smoking remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Therefore attention must be paid to the manner is which pro-smoking materials may serve to reflect, reinforce and ultimately reproduce smoking behaviours. ... -
IFLA Succumbs to Dubai’s Soft Power Strategy
(Journal of Radical Librarianship, 2023-09-13)The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) have announced that the 2024 World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) will be held in Dubai. It is clear that the IFLA has fallen prey to ... -
Cause for Concern: Copycat Gender Identity Based Book Protests in Public Libraries in Ireland
(Journal of Radical Librarianship, 2023-09-13)This commentary briefly explores the rise of book bans in the US before giving an overview of similar protests emerging in Irish libraries. From being a very traditional and largely Catholic confessional State Ireland has ... -
A novel and facile green synthesis method to prepare LDH/MOF nanocomposite for removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II)
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-15)To date, many nanoadsorbents have been developed and used to eliminate heavy metal contamination, however, one of the challenges ahead is the preparation of adsorbents from processes in which toxic organic solvents are ... -
