Visual Time: The Image in History

Visual Time offers a rare consideration of the idea of time in art history. Non-western art histories currently have an unprecedented prominence in the discipline. To what extent are their artistic narratives commensurate with those told about Western art? Does time run at the same speed in all places? Keith Moxey argues that the discipline of art history has been too attached to interpreting works of art based on a teleological categorization - demonstrating how each work influences the next as part of a linear sequence - which he sees as tied to Western notions of modernity. In contrast, he emphasizes how the experience of viewing art creates its own aesthetic time, where the viewer is entranced by the work itself rather than what it represents about the historical moment when it was created. Moxey discusses the art, and writing about the art, of modern and contemporary artists, such as Gerard Sekoto, Thomas Demand, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Cindy Sherman, as well as the sixteenth-century figures Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Albrecht Durer, Matthias Grunewald, and Hans Holbein. In the process, he addresses the phenomenological turn in the study of the image, its application to the understanding of particular artists, the ways verisimilitude eludes time in both the past and the present, and the role of time in nationalist accounts of the past.
An Acoustic Analysis of Vowel Variation in New World English

An Acoustic Analysis of Vowel Variation in New World English examines acoustical variations in vowel configurations in a wide variety of dialects of English found in the Western Hemisphere. While the work opens with an introduction on the methods and aims of the study, the following chapter immediately moves to a detailed discussion of distinctive vowel sounds called phonemes, characterizing each variant of sound listed within the cited reference literature. The remaining chapters provide explanatory descriptions of the variants of each dialect, reviewing past research specific to that dialect. While the United States English, Canadian English, and Caribbean varieties are featured in various chapters throughout the work, individual chapters are devoted to African-American, Mexican-American, and Native American English, emphasizing not only ethnic variation but delving into the historical development of each dialect. This monograph is an essential reference on vowel variation for all sociolinguists, phoneticians, phonologists, creolists, and historical linguists.
Consequences of Categorical Labeling of Preschool Children

The use of categorical diagnostic labels prescribed in P.L. 94--142 with children below school age is examined in this article. National practices relative to categorical labeling are reviewed, and questions are posed concerning the consequences of categorical labeling for children from 3 to 6 years old. Data from the state of New Hampshire concerning the frequency of usage for specific categorical labels are presented and are found to be consistent with national trends. Data are presented on the number of children who transition from noncategorical early intervention programs serving children birth to 3 years into categorical preschool programs for children 3 through 5 years. Almost one-third of all children served in early intervention are found not to be eligible for preschool services because of the requirement for a categorical label. The roles of demographic factors related to place of residence, age, and local school policies in deciding who is eligible for services and what diagnostic category is assigned, were considered. Finally, the consequences of categorical labeling for children, parents, and programs are discussed.

The impact of fatigue on balancing in creating re-injuries in mountaineers with chronic ankle sprain

Introduction: Sensory-motor control and in general gaining balance will be impaired after an ankle injury and in fatigue situations. The aim of this research was to study the effect of exercise-based fatigue on static and dynamic balance in mountaineering athletes who were successful in returning to a suitable level of physical activity after an ankle sprain injury. Materials and methods: 25 active mountaineering athletes between 20 and 40 years were recruited on a voluntary basis. 12 persons with severe ankle sprain in the past were selected as experimental group and 13 healthy mountaineering athletes were selected as control group. Because balance test measuring was under the influence of evaluation time; fatigue test measurement running on the treadmill was performed in 2 sessions. Changes or fluctuations in the pressure Center or static balance were evaluated by Sharpened Romberg balance test and dynamic balance was evaluated by stability time after side jumping (the first session) and the maximum distance in the balance test Y (second session) were evaluated in the pre-test and post-test immediately after fatigue resulted by running on a treadmill. Data were analyzed using covariance test. Results: before fatigue condition, there were a few differences between the two groups in stability time while doing side jump test (P<0.014). After the fatigue and in balance test Y and stability time while doing side jump test; there were more differences (P<0.001). In this case, there was a similar increase on static swing in both groups. Fatigue was considerably reduced the static and dynamic postural control of the athletes who had a history of injury. Changes related to fatigue was significant in dynamic postural control in athletes with previous ankle sprain history. Conclusion: Even after the successful return to sport for athletes with previous damages, abnormalities in sensory-motor control and balance may lead to an increase the risk of ankle
YATAKLI TEDAVİ KURUMLARINDA KADIN SAĞLIĞI ALANINDA ÇALIŞAN SAĞLIK PROFESYONELLERİNDE CİNSİYETÇİLİK

The aim of this cross sectional study was to explore the perspectives regarding gender roles of healthcare professionals working in the area of women's health in inpatient hospitals in Turkey, and to determine existing levels of sexism and which factors shape sexist behavior. The cross sectional study was conducted between February-April 2014 with 565 healthcare professionals in three provinces situated in western Turkey. Data were collected with a demographic information questionnaire, the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory and the Attitudes toward Gender Stereotypes about Romantic Relationships Scale. In this study, health professionals have above average levels of sexism. Male professionals adopt more hostile sexism than Yataklı Tedavi Kurumlarında Kadın Sağlığı Alanında Çalışan Sağlık Profesyonellerinde Cinsiyetçilik The Journal of Academic Social Science Yıl: 5, Sayı: 57, Kasım 2017, s. 21-39 22 benevolent, and female professionals adopt more benevolent sexism than hostile. This finding suggests that while men directly adopt sexist attitudes in order to maintain the power-related advantages of being males, women adopt sexist attitudes as a strategy that may protect themselves from the disadvantages of being females.
The Association of Diabetes Mellitus with Cholelithiasis and Liver Diseases in Addis Ababa-Ethiopia

Background: Gallstone disease is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases reported in abdominal ultrasound investigations. Liver diseases and cholelithiasis are commonly linked with diabetes. Studies have shown that diabetic patients have a 2 to 3-fold increase in the incidence of cholesterol Gallstone. Our literature review indicated no similar study had been conducted in the country. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus on ultrasound diagnosed cholelithiasis and other liver diseases, amongst Ethiopians. Methodology: A retrospective case control study was conducted at Myungsung Christian Medical Center (MCMC) on 250 cases with ultrasound evidence of cholelithiasis and 250 controls to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and other liver diseases. Results: A high prevalence of Diabetes mellitus was demonstrated among patients with gallbladder stones34% as compared to 15.2% in the controls (Pearson’s chi-square 23.819, P value = 0.000, OR = 2.874). This association remained significant even when sex was controlled, though association was stronger among females. Conclusions: The association observed in this study, between Diabetes mellitus and cholelithiasis among Ethiopians, may need wider scale study including dietary habits.
Convergence Rates in the Law of Large Numbers for Arrays of Banach Valued Martingale Differences

We study the convergence rates in the law of large numbers for arrays of Banach valued martingale differences. Under a simple moment condition, we show sufficient conditions about the complete convergence for arrays of Banach valued martingale differences; we also give a criterion about the convergence for arrays of Banach valued martingale differences. In the special case where the array of Banach valued martingale differences is the sequence of independent and identically distributed real valued random variables, our result contains the theorems of Hsu-Robbins-Erdos (1947, 1949, and 1950), Spitzer (1956), and Baum and Katz (1965). In the real valued single martingale case, it generalizes the results of Alsmeyer (1990). The consideration of Banach valued martingale arrays (rather than a Banach valued single martingale) makes the results very adapted in the study of weighted sums of identically distributed Banach valued random variables, for which we prove new theorems about the rates of convergence in the law of large numbers. The results are established in a more general setting for sums of infinite many Banach valued martingale differences. The obtained results improve and extend those of Ghosal and Chandra (1998).

The effect of operation type, operand-order and problem-size on processing simple arithmetic

Once learned, simple arithmetic facts are thought to be represented in a dedicated long term memory store, known as an arithmetic retrieval network. Although the existence of this network is generally agreed upon, the organisation and accessibility of it is not. The aim of the current study was thus to test the effect of operation type, presentation format and problem-size on the processing of simple arithmetic. In two separate experiments participants were presented with a series of single digit addition, multiplication and ‘wrong’ problems. In experiment one they indicated which operation sign was used in each problem and in experiment two they indicated what the correct answer to each problem should be. In both experiments, the participants responded to large multiplication problems more slowly than addition and small multiplication problems, but more quickly than wrong problems. Participants were equally fast in responding to small multiplication and addition problems in experiment one but faster to respond to small multiplication problems than addition problems in experiment two. In addition to this, there was an operand-order effect in experiment two but not experiment one. The results challenge two main assumptions of the identical elements model but lend support to the interacting neighbours model. A new model is proposed to account for some of the short comings of previous models.
Are Some Prices in the CPI More Forward Looking Than Others? We Think So.

Some of the items that make up the Consumer Price Index change prices frequently, while others are slow to change. We explore whether these two sets of prices - sticky and flexible - provide insight on different aspects of the inflation process. We find that sticky prices appear to incorporate expectations about future inflation to a greater degree than prices that change on a frequent basis, while flexible prices respond more powerfully to economic conditions? economic slack. Importantly, our sticky-price measure seems to contain a component of inflation expectations, and that component may be useful when trying to gauge where inflation is heading.
Crystal structure and revised chemical formula for burckhardtite, Pb2(Fe3+Te6+)[AlSi3O8]O6: a double-sheet silicate with intercalated phyllotellurate layers

Abstract The crystal structure of burckhardite from the type locality, Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico, has been refined to R1 = 0.0362 and wR2 = 0.0370 for 215 reflections with I > 2σ(I). Burckhardtite is trigonal, space group P3̄1m, with the unit-cell parameters a = 5.2566(5) Å , c = 13.0221(10) Å , V = 311.62(5) Å3 and Z = 1 for the ideal formula unit Pb2(Fe3+Te6+)[AlSi3O8]O6. There is no long-range order of (Fe3+, Te6+) or (Al3+, Si4+). New microprobe data were used to estimate site scattering factors, and Raman spectroscopic data showed no evidence of O-H stretching bands. Burckhardtite is not closely related to the micas, as supposed previously, but is a double-sheet silicate in which the aluminosilicate anion resembles that of minerals such as cymrite and kampfite. The [(Fe3+Te6+)O6]3- part of the structure is not bonded directly to the aluminosilicate layer, but forms a discrete anionic phyllotellurate layer that alternates with the [AlSi3O8]- double sheets. Similar phyllotellurate layers are known from several synthetic phases. In burckhardtite, Pb2+ cations intercalate between phyllosilicate and phyllotellurate layers, forming a Pb2[FeTeO6] module that is topologically similar to a slab of the structure of rosiaite, Pb[Sb2O6]. The crystal symmetry, structure, classification as a double-sheet silicate and chemical formula, including the determination of the 6+ valence of Te and absence of essential H2O, are all new findings for the mineral.

Study of microstructure, hardness and wear properties of sand cast Cu-4Ni-6Sn Bronze alloy

An alloy of Cu-4Ni-6Sn was cast in the sand moulds. The cast rods were homogenized, solution heat treated and aged for different periods of time. The specimens were prepared from the rods to study the microstructure, microhardness and wear properties. It was found that the aging process increases the hardness of the alloy significantly. It was due to the change in the microstructure of the alloy. Further, spinodal decomposition and the ordering reaction take place during the aging treatment. Specific wear rate was found to decrease with the hardness of the alloy. Coefficient of friction remains constant and is not affected by the aging process.
Changes in glacier area in Tyrol, Austria, between 1969 and 1992 derived from Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper and Austrian Glacier Inventory data

Results are presented from the use of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery and data from the Austrian Glacier Inventory for area change detection of a large number of glaciers. A trend analysis of glacier area between 1969, 1985 and 1992 was carried out for 235 glaciers in Tyrol, Austria. Ratio images from TM channels 4 and 5 are thresholded to obtain a glacier mask as revealed by analysis of the data for six sub-regions (Ötztal, Pitztal, Gurgl, Stubai North, Stubai South and Zillertal). Glaciers with areas less than 1 km 2 shrank significantly between 1969 and 1992 (about -35%). The total loss in area in this period is about 43 km 2 or -18.6% of the area in 1969 (230.5 km 2 ). Glaciers smaller than 1 km 2 contribute 59% (25 km 2 ) to the total loss although they covered only one-third of the area in 1969.
Farmers’ Knowledge on Feeding Practices of Dairy Animals in Jhansi District

The study was conducted in Jhansi district of Bundelkhand region. It was found that majority of the respondents (69.58 %) had the medium level of knowledge regarding feeding practices of dairy animals. The highest extent of knowledge was observed on dry animal feeding practices (69.60%) followed by feeding of heifers i.e. 65.82 percent, and lowest was observed in the feeding of calves (43.08%). Further it was found that large farmers hold maximum knowledge up to the extent of 60.57 percent and lowest knowledge was possessed by medium farmers (57.17%), where as remaining three categories of farmers were having near about 58 percent extent of knowledge in relation to scientific feeding practices of dairy animals. On the whole the respondents of the study area were having 58.66 per cent extent of knowledge on scientific feeding practices of dairy animals. The path analysis indicated that risk orientation was the most potent variable in effecting the knowledge of farmers positively.
Proposed Indicators of Prevention Through Design in Construction Projects

The construction industry has a high accident rate worldwide. Because of these negative figures, there are numerous studies by prestigious authors about how to measure the levels of safety and health in construction through indicators. These indicators can be classified based on the following categories: a) Accidents recorded b) Risk assessment, c) Workload, d) Health and safety training, e) Perception of safety and health and f) Health and safety management. However, despite the importance of indicators as a preventive tool, no studies have been found regarding the most appropriate indicators to measure the degree of implementation of the concept of Prevention through Design in civil engineering construction projects. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the main existing indicators to quantify the levels of safety and health in construction, and based on this analysis to propose and validate indicators to measure the Prevention through Design in civil engineering projects, using the staticized groups methodology. The information provided by the new proposed indicators is useful for improving safety levels in construction companies.
The cooling of convolvulaceous flowers in a tropical environment

The temperatures of flowers of Ipomoea pes-caprae ssp. brasilensis , Ipomoea aquatica and Merremia borneensis in bright sunshine, were studied to determine the role of corollas and sepals in cooling the gynoecium. The corollas and sepals were prevented from transpiring by greasing, to investigate the extent of evaporative cooling. In the exposed natural habitats of these flowers the maximum temperatures of air and soil were high (32 and 42 ° C, respectively) and corolla, sepal and gynoecium temperatures were often intermediate. Despite being almost astomatous, significant evaporative cooling was observed in the corolla. Between 20 and 80% of the energy absorbed by the corollas was dissipated as evaporation. The sepals were stomatous and their evaporative cooling was very important in reducing the temperature of the gynoecium. The temperatures of the non-transpiring gynoecia and corollas were significantly higher than the temperatures of the normally transpiring corollas and gynoecia. Furthermore, the gynoecia temperatures were significantly higher with nontranspiring corollas than with normally transpiring corollas, suggesting that the corollas alone play a role in maintaining the gynoecium within optimal temperatures levels. It was shown in an incubation experiment that temperatures exceeding 32 ° ° ° C may damage the carpels, and temperatures exceeding 42 ° ° ° C may damage sepals. Pollen grains were killed after 200 min of exposure to temperatures in the range 32 to 47 ° C. It is concluded that the cooling mechanisms (evaporation and self-shading) are critical for the reproductive success of these flowers in their natural environment.
Growth analysis and land equivalent ratio of fenugreek-buckwheat intercrops at different fertilizer types

Summary Intercropping can increase crop growth and yield due to improved resource use efficiency. A two-year field experiment was performed in Shahrekord (Iran) to determine the effect of crop stand composition and fertilizer type on the productions of aboveground dry matter and growth parameters of fenugreek-buckwheat intercrops. Sole crops of fenugreek (F) and buckwheat (B) were compared to the three substitutive intercropping ratios (F:B = 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2). Crop stands were fertilized with chemical fertilizer or broiler litter. Fenugreek could produce in intercrops a similar amount of above-ground dry matter compared to its corresponding share on the sowing ratio. Contrary to that, buckwheat could produce in intercrops more above-ground dry matter than its share on the sowing ratio, especially with a low to medium share of buckwheat. Consequently, the intercrops with F:B (2:1) and F:B (1:1) had an above-ground dry matter yield advantage compared to the pure crop stands of both crops. Broiler litter was more effective in increasing the growth rates and thus the above-ground dry matter production compared to the chemical fertilizer. Thus, growing fenugreek and buckwheat in intercrops fertilized with broiler litter can be beneficial for increasing the biomass production in semiarid environments.
