To the authors' knowledge, this paper is the first to explore the dietary regime provided in a total institution. Specifically, the aim of this study is to highlight gender differences in the dietary regimes of mental health patients. Using archival and documentary evidence, the study uses an unobtrusive research approach to explore the diets of mental health patients living in the Girifalco asylum, in southern Italy, during the second half of the 19th century. The evidence analyzed examines whether the dietary regimes that were rebuilt are perfectly in line with the principles of moral treatment. Concerning the study, limitations should be stated; although archival evidence suggests that the institutional meals provided in Girifalco asylum were nutritionally adequate (by gender), this is impossible to verify. In conclusion, the dietary regime provided at the Girifalco asylum was balanced both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view for healthy living in a total institution.

"I took a trip to Yellowstone National Park in January of 2008, and returned with a souvenir: a yellow pin, resembling a campaign button, with the message, "GREEN UP WEST YELLOWSTONE" in bold green letters. It was given to me, not by one of the many representatives of environmental groups I met, but by Marysue Costello, the past president of the West Yellowstone, Montana, Chamber of Commerce, and an ardent opponent of the campaign to ban snowmobiling in Yellowstone Park. The pin, Costello told me, was part of an effort organized by the chamber to improve West Yellowstone's environmental quality. The effort demonstrated, Costello told me, that everyone in West Yellowstone, including conservative"--

Although scholars studying the modern Jewish experience have devoted considerable attention to the history of major Jewish communities such as those of New York and Paris, they have paid relatively little attention to smaller Jewish communities in Western society. Focusing on France and the United States, this article draws attention to the significance of the small Jewish communities that developed in the West in the century and a half following the age of the democratic revolutions. The essay comments on the scholarship of local Jewish history to demonstrate how smaller Jewish centers have been largely ignored, it explores a few of the questions that can be raised about the history of these less visible Jewish centers, and it reflects upon the value of studying small Jewish communities from a comparative perspective.

Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) is one of the largest religious organizations in Indonesia. The santri community that is very identical to NU has contributed to Indonesia's development. When viewed from history, Santri were actively involved in Indonesian politics. The contribution of the santri is seen in various strategic positions of the country. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitude of the santri identity in political moments. This study uses a case study method to determine the process and central dynamics of santri in political activity. Semi-structured interviews were used to determine the identity construction of two subjects who had different backgrounds, but both were NU members who were raised in the santri tradition. The results showed that the santri's attitude did not have a particular patron/command and was amoeba/spread in various positions. Santri builds a unique identity as pride and has more value than other groups. Another result shows that political activity is considered an activity in worship.
