A new novel about the 2015 surge of migration to Europe raises questions about whether fiction that draws on ethnographic methods can bring a uniquely intimate perspective to the relations between asylum seekers and the volunteers who try to help them.

Engineering Projects in Community (EPICS) was conceived and started in 1995 at Purdue University by Leah Jameson, IEEE president of 2007, and Edward J. Coyle. EPICS High's core focus is to engage high school students by connecting engineering and computing design to community needs. Such engagement provides students with an opportunity to experience volunteerism as well as a preview to potential careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). The EPICS model is a form of service learning, a process of using experiences as a means of teaching. Inspired by the EPICS-High model, IEEE implementation of High School Projects in Community Service (EPICS), a.k.a. EPICS in IEEE, was proposed by IEEE in 2009, as a new initiative project. EPICS in IEEE adopted the model, employing university students to work with high school students on community service projects. EPICS in IEEE leverages its memberships by engaging IEEE student branch university groups around the world. This inclusion expands the program world wide, and brings the EPICS model to students and communities in all regions. This tutorial introduces and discusses a variety of projects undertaken by EPICS in IEEE throughout the world

This anthology presents translations of thirty songs about Ilya Muromets, Dobrynya, Sadko, and other legendary characters of Russian folklore.

Trauma and the need of medical care exist since the beginning of human history. This research is aimed to identify and analyze trauma in antiquity. After a review of bibliography, the first reports of trauma (in Europe) were found in the Greek Epics of Homer. The analysis of these texts showed that injury could be caused to any part of the human body. The main cause of trauma was primarily participation in wars (178 cases), and then participation in sports (6 cases) and other activities (6 cases). This study identified a total of 190 injuries in both Homer epics. The more serious injuries, many of which proved fatal, were observed from participation in military activities.

The paper points out the intention of 'Satire' and inquires into the biographical, historical, sociological, religious, economic, political and literary contexts of John Milton's Paradise Lost (1667) and Paradise Regained (1671). It underscores the poignant example of John Dryden's verse satire, Absalom and Achitophel (1681), which is modelled on John Milton's political epics. It also traces the biographical, historical, sociological, religious, economic, political and literary reasons for the outbreak of the English civil war. Thus, it points out the mutual bond that exists between society and literature, and renders a historical reading of the literary works taken for analysis by exploring the possible purposes with which these texts have been written and the ways in which the meanings of these texts have changed over time owing to multiple interpretations.
