Plastic Landscape - The Reversible World
Yoon Chung Han
My AI-generated 3D animated video design “Plastic Landscape - The Reversible World” was exhibited as a part of Seoul Light Gwanghwamun in Seoul, South Korea from December 15, 2023 to January 21, 2024 on the media facade of the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History. The work shows the apocalyptic and surreal world surrounded by artificial plastic mixtures and objects in the ocean, urban city, antarctica, and forest. Four different scenes are animated, with the camera panning slowly from left to right. Viewers can observe how the plastics are decomposed at a slower speed by looking at particle animations. Surreal objects/buildings in this animation made out of plastic look beautiful and mesmerizing at first glance. However, the viewers can notice that they are the decayed objects and destroyed nature impacted by human beings. This new multi-sensory artwork addresses the awareness of plastic pollution through the apocalyptic lens.

Scenic Design for "Steel Magnolias"
Andrea Bechert
I was the Scenic Designer for the production of "Steel Magnolias" at the TheatreWorks which opened at the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts June 7, 2023. As the Scenic Designer, I oversee the design and visual aspects in three departments, and work directly with the people in those departments. These areas are Scenery (the architectural aspects of the setting), Scenic Art & Paints (the textures, painting, and finish of the scenery), and Properties (anything that you would move in or out of your house in a moving van including all décor). I can provide a ¼”=1’-0” scale color model, paint elevations, and drafting.

Study Abroad and the Second Language Acquisition of Sociolinguistic Variation in Spanish
Avizia Long
This volume offers a comprehensive snapshot of the breadth of empirical research currently being conducted on the second language acquisition of sociolinguistic variation in Spanish during study abroad. Research on this topic spans diverse methodological approaches, types of programs, linguistic structures, and learner characteristics, which is reflected in the contributions in this volume. This diversity of approaches illustrates how the second language development of sociolinguistic variation during study abroad depends crucially on a number of linguistic and extralinguistic factors and can be measured in distinct ways. Thus, this collection will be an indispensable resource to researchers and students of second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, education, and other fields interested in language development during study abroad.

The Mindful Interview Method: Retrieving Cognitive Evidence
Gil Zamora
The Mindful Interview Method: Retrieving Cognitive Evidence has been written to assist public and private sector investigators in gathering reliable information from eyewitnesses. It’s a resource that offers the reader evidence-based techniques to enhance gathering reliable evidence and reveals the assessment component that measures the reliability of cognitive evidence. It is notable that eyewitness interview training is cursory at best, and most often nonexistent. This book aims to inspire a change in how we distinguish interrogations of suspects from interviewing eyewitnesses that are often victims and initial witnesses to certain events.

Advances in Global Leadership (Volume 15)
Joyce Osland
Advances in Global Leadership (a blind-reviewed book and journal) collects insights from leading scholars and practitioners, as well as newcomers to the field. In addition to accepting chapters on traditional research, Volume 15 promoted the under-researched topic of power and global leadership. In the final chapter, Dr. Osland and co-editors synthesized the books' insights and identified research directions and gaps for other scholars in "Power and Global Leadership: Marking the Transition and Suggesting Future Directions." For this volume, Dr. Osland also co-authored two chapters with research teams: "Leading Effective Global Change: Three Design Imperatives That Support Success" (Johnson, Ludema & Osland, 2023) and "A Model of Trigger Events and Sensemaking in the Intercultural Context: A Cognitive Approach to Global Leadership Effectiveness" (Osland, Bird, Reiche & Mendenhall, 2023).

Data Science Inscription of the Jyotirlingas! Volume 1
Chandrasekar Vuppalapati
A Jyotirlinga or Jyotirlingam is a devotional representation of a Hindu Deity. The word is made up of Sanskrit ‘jyotis’ which means ‘radiance’ and linga, also spelled lingam, means ‘sign’ or “distinguishing symbol”. Hinduism defines Jyotirlingam as the radiant sign of the Almighty. In our data scientific view, nonetheless, Jyotirlinga represents the embodiment of time series. It exhibits stationarity and multi-model patterns of naturally occurring time series, a classical data science pattern, that has a causative relationship with historical events, world macroeconomics, agriculture, and other worldly events.
