New synthesized derivatives of (5Z)-5-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyliden)-2-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazol-4-one and benzamides with antimonoaminooxidase and sympatholytic properties were studied. Studies showed that the compounds exhibit antimonoaminooxidase activity, inhibiting the deamination of serotonin, and sympatholytic action by blocking of α1-adrenoreceptors. The obtained data indicate the possibility of creating new antidepressant preparations based on monoaminoxidase (MAO) inhibitors, having simultaneous sympatholytic properties. These drugs will be much safer due to a decrease in the risk of arterial hypertension.

V. Nabokov wobec II wojny światowej – twórcza recepcja i moralna ocena
Authors: Grygiel Monika ,   Państwowa Akademia Nauk Stosowanych w Chełmie (Polska)
Published: October 2022

Vladimir Nabokov rosyjski i amerykański pisarz jest autorem dwóch powieściowych antyutopii: Zaproszenie na egzekucję i Nieprawe godło, w których dał wyraz swym politycznym poglądom, mimo iż deklarował się zwykle jako pisarz apolityczny. W obu utworach autor obnaża mechanizmy działania komunizmu i faszyzmu niemieckiego, ostrzega czytelników przed zniewoleniem ideologii totalitarnej, przed biernością wobec przemocy i manipulacji. Kategoryczne polityczne poglądy Nabokova wynikają z faktu, iż doświadczył konsekwencji rewolucji rosyjskiej 1917 roku oraz II wojny światowej, w wyniku których musiał uciekać najpierw z rodzinnej Rosji, a później z ogarniętej wojną Europy. Powieść Nieprawe godło pozwala na bezpośrednie skojarzenia świata przedstawionego z rzeczywistością prześladowań i represji hitleryzmu, z wypaczonym moralnie systemem państwa policyjnego. Nabokov sprzeciwia się złu, potępia go we wszelkiej postaci, opowiada się za dobrem, którego nie można dostrzec w przedstawionej przez pisarza rzeczywistości politycznej, w powieściowym świecie totalitarnym. Krytyka i dyskredytacja zbrodniczych politycznych ideologii należy do obowiązków pisarza, Nabokov w ten sposób podkreśla znaczenie dobra i moralności w życiu człowieka.
ojos y los discursos. Cruces entre las poéticas de Rubén Darío, Luis de Góngora y la cultura visual.
Authors: M. Carrizo Rueda Sofía
Published: October 2022

El estudio de la «cultura visual» ha avanzado, notablemente, en la primera década del siglo XXI. Es un hecho promisorio que redunda en concepciones más orgánicas de la historia cultural. Pero no faltan polémicas como si corresponde o no, atribuir a las imágenes producidas por esferas de «el poder», la propaganda política como fin excluyente. Algunos investigadores reclaman atención a los presupuestos culturales, los ideales científicos, las perspectivas religiosas y el juego de las identidades individuales o colectivas. El presente trabajo se inscribe en esta amplia perspectiva, y postula la necesidad de considerar, dentro de los procesos de recepción, aquellos textos literarios que constituyen comentarios a imágenes visuales. Como contribución a la propuesta, se abordan composiciones de Darío y Góngora cuyos referentes poéticos están construidos alrededor de las artes plásticas. Se analizan los cruces intertextuales y aspectos referidos a la recepción de las imágenes visuales en los respectivos contextos históricos de ambos poetas.

Dalit Movement And Contribution Of Dalit Associations In United Provinces.
Authors: Singh Dr. Om Prakash
Published: October 2022

This article attempts to document the history of dalit associations in United Provinces. The main objective of this article is to provide a historical trajectory of evolution of dalit movement and contribution of dalit associations to it in United Provinces. The main argument put forwarded is that dalit associations played an important role in mobilization and organization of multiple dalit castes which prepared ground work for emergence of Dalit movement in United Provinces.

Dalit movement in United Provincenial atmosphere for mobilization of Dalits for achieving socio-political rights of Dalits.es attracted the attention of several scholars on account of its success in the form of the Bahujan Samajwadi Party. It has been perceived as a symbol of new trend in Indian politics from below. Studies of Sudha Pai, Chrisstrofar Jafferlot Badri Narayan and Ramnarayan Rawat, look at Dalit assertion from the perspective of politics of people for power. These studies did a commendable job by reflecting upon the historical dynamics of Dalit movement in United Provinces. But the fact is that the role of caste associations established by Dalits and their impact upon the politics of Dalits received insignificant coverage. Consequently, the valuable contribution of Dalit caste associations remained unexplored. This article tries to document the ideas and activities of Dalit caste associations and their impact upon Dalits movement of United Provinces.
The Effect of Parents’ Violation of Duty to Care on the Amount of Child’s Claim for Damages: A Comparative Study

The Effect of Parents’ Violation of Duty to Care on the Amount of Child’s Claim for Damages: A Comparative Study

Parents being responsible for taking care of their children and protecting them from dangers is a universal moral rule. However, the reflections of this rule on legal systems have been different. Significantly when third parties harm a child, whose protection is neglected by his/her parents, legal systems have divergent evaluations as to whether it is appropriate and/or necessary to make a deduction from the compensation to be paid by the perpetrator to the child. In the modern legal world, there are three approaches to this issue: the independence approach, in which the fault of parents and children are entirely separated from each other and parents are liable to the child, the indirect attribution approach, where the judge considers the fault of the parents while determining the fault of the perpetrator and therefore makes an indirect deduction from the compensation paid to the child and finally, the conditional attribution approach, where parents held liable in case of a pre-existing legal relationship between the child and the perpetrator. The article is mainly concerned with the problem of determining what effect a breach of duty of care by the parents should have on the amount of the child’s claim for damages against a tortfeasor and proposes a three-step-solution based on the independence approach in order to provide real protection to injured children.

"Command has always been the responsibility of commanders, regardless of the echelon, its materialisation being based on decision as well as on decision-making process. The geometry of the operating environment, the continuous transformation of the types of operations and, implicitly, of the way of approaching them have led to the identification of alternatives in terms of supporting the decision-making act. In this regard, the concept (and possibly its materialisation) of Red Team can be a viable alternative."

"In these times, dominated by accelerated cognitisation and sophisticated automation, rapid development of computers and multiplication of forms of communication, the human factor seems to have a secondary role. From our point of view, this is just an appearance, because the new cognitive instruments do not replace, but mirror and simulate aspects of people’s higher psychic functions, acting as a multiplier for talented, educated and original minds. The concept of Human Performance Optimization (HPO) represents a systematic effort to use the latest technologies and knowledge to achieve the maximum performance of individuals, teams and/or organisations. At the same time, HPO is an ethical way to optimize technological synapse between the forms of artificial and human intelligence."
Supera stent implantation for the treatment of isolated popliteal artery disease – systematic review and evaluation of current endovascular strategies
Authors: Salamaga Szymon , Stępak Hubert , Krasiński Zbigniew
Published: October 2022

Introduction: The anatomical location of the popliteal artery is one of the greatest challenges for percutaneous interventions. The biomechanical attributes of the vessel lead to higher rates of restenosis, stent fracture, and occlusion. Some surgeons consider the popliteal artery as a “no stenting zone”. Many specialists favor percutaneous transluminal angioplasty to be the first line of endovascular treatment in the popliteal artery with bail-out stent implantation if the results are suboptimal. The Supera peripheral stent system is a novel stent that has been manufactured with a high degree of flexibility and supposedly might be appropriate for implantation in the popliteal artery.

 Aim: Evaluation of the performance of Supera stent in isolated popliteal artery disease in comparison to other methods of treatment.

 Methods: As many as 92 articles were found in the databases and after full-text review, 4 studies matched the inclusion criteria and were evaluated.

 Results: Primary patency rates of Supera implantation in an isolated popliteal artery at 12 months ranged from 68% to 90%. In all four studies, no stent fractures were observed. Only one study provided longer follow-up than 12 months and evaluated the performance of the Supera stent 36 months after implantation.

 Conclusion: In conclusion, mentioned studies show promising and superior to other stent patency rates of the Supera stent regarding popliteal artery lesions. What is more, no stent fracture is promising regarding longer follow-up. However, more studies with longer follow-ups and direct comparison to other methods are required to fully evaluate Supera's performance in the popliteal artery.
Experimental investigations and finite element modelling of a suggested prosthetic foot

Published: October 2022

To design and manufacture a dynamic cheap prosthetic foot compatible with amputees' requirements by introducing a natural fibre called kenaf (scientific name Hibiscus cannabinus L).

In two cases, four suggested designs were analysed using the finite elements method (FEM) with a commercial ANSYS R1 program. The first case was a heel strike. The second was toe-off by subjecting force equal to 70 kg for both cases to select the optimal design.

The foot found the tensile strength, flexural strength, impact stress, and fatigue test according to ISO 10328 standards successfully.

The selected design was analysed again using the ANSYS R1 program for weights 60, 70, and 80 kg for two sequences, one containing kenaf, to study how such additive could affect the mechanical properties and estimate the proper quality weight of the foot. The winner's design was then produced and tested in a fatigue foot tester according to ISO 10328 standards.

The results showed that the sequence containing the natural fibres kanaf material improved the deformation by 20% for both cases (from 7.47 to 8.92 mm for the heel strike case for a weight of 80 kg for the sequence without and with kanaf, respectively), and the damping ratio increased by 50% (0. 188 and 0.273 for the sequence without and with kenaf, respectively), which means an increase in the stored energy and higher stability. Also, the mechanical properties like maximum tensile strength, flexural strength, impact stress, and natural frequency were modified.

This paper develops an analytical and practical study to design and produce a dynamic cheap prosthetic foot made from natural fibres, which are characterized as renewable, cheap, recyclable, and environmentally friendly materials with good mechanical properties. Authors believe it is the first time to use natural kenaf fibres in the prosthetic foot manufacturing field.
Sustaining national food security and increasing farmers’ income through quality seed

Published: October 2022

Since independence, India achieved a distinction from ship-to-mouth status to self dependent, food surplus and net exporter of food grains in 69 years and recorded an all time high (285.2 million tonnes) production during 2018-19 from meagre 50.8 mt during 1950-51. In spite of spectacular success in food production over the years, it is a great challenge to sustain high production as well as enhance it further to meet the future requirement, as the population continues to grow steadily with an annual growth rate of 1.10% and expected to be 1.42 billion and 1.48 billion by 2025 and 2030, respectively, from 1.32 billion during 2017; coupled with enhanced consumption of food grains due to rising income, necessitating an increase of 4.5% and 15.7% by 2020 and 2030, respectively, over the present food production. It is a great challenge in view of climate change, diminishing and degrading land and water resources, increasing biotic and abiotic stresses and loss of bio-diversity. The present paper discusses the trend of production and productivity of food crops from 1950-51 to 2018-19; assess the contribution of seed to food production, seed chain, quality seed production and scope of quality seed for enhancing farmers’ income and future strategies for seed research, production and development to sustain food production. Requisite assets such as a strong crop specific cultivar development programmes, 850 high yielding food crop varieties comprising 657 of cereals and 193 of pulses released during the last six years, robust and vibrant seed systems, quality regulatory mechanism, globally competitive seed sector and the largest arable land with 46 soil types across 15 agro-climatic zones favouring seed production of diverse crops are available for sustaining high food production and meet the future demand for seed and food. Ensuring availability of quality seed in adequate quantity though imperative, yet, itself is not enough to trigger the production if it is not coupled with achieving sufficient varietal diversity in seed chain preferably phasing out gradually the old and obsolete varieties and inducting recently developed high yielding and disease resistant varieties. The overall progress and outcome are largely dependent on Government policies and support, which require consistent and adequate financial resources for sustaining a vibrant seed production, farm power machinery, processing units, storage, seed testing, delivery systems and trained human resources besides remunerative prices to the farmers.
Conservation agriculture practices and sulphur fertilization effects on productivity and resource-use efficiency of rainfed mustard (Brassica juncea)
Authors: CHOUDHARY MUKESH , RANA K S , BANA R S , PARIHAR C M , KANTWA S R
Published: October 2022

Moisture and sulphur deficiency in soil are major reasons for low productivity of mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] in rainfed semi-arid areas. To overcome this problem a field experiment was conducted during 2013-15 to find out the effect of conservation agriculture and sulphur fertilization on productivity and resource-use efficiency of mustard under rainfed conditions. Five tillage and residue management practices, i.e. conventional tillage with 0, 2 and 4 t/ha crop residue; zero tillage with 2 and 4 t/ha crop residue were allocated to main plots and four sulphur levels (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg S/ha) in sub-plots. Result showed that zero tillage with 4 t/ha crop residue produced 24.6% higher mustard seed yield than conventional tillage without residue resulted maximum net returns (44.7 × 103 ₹/ ha). Similarly, highest water use efficiency (12.7 kg/ha mm) and total nutrient uptake were also recorded in the same treatment. Increasing levels of sulphur (S) up to 45 kg/ha significantly increased seed and oil yield (37.5%). However, sulphur use efficiency was decreased with graded levels of sulphur. Conversely, higher net returns (47.6 × 103 ₹/ha) and benefit-cost ratio (1.89) were fetched with 45 kg S/ha.

Published: October 2022

Grey blight disease of tea (Camellia sinensis) is considered as a major threat to tea plantation owing to adverse affect on yield and quality parameters in tea. In the present study, an effort was made to explore some botanicals and microbial formulations for management of grey blight disease under field condition in the pretext of growing demand of organic tea. Seven botanicals at three concentrations (5.0, 10.0 and 15.0%) and four microbial bioformulations were screened in vitro against Pestalotiopsis theae, the grey blight pathogen. Of the botanicals, significant inhibition was recorded by water extract of Xanthium strumarium and Pongamia pinnata at 15% concentration. Biogreen 5 (Formulation of Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus thuringiensis, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisoplae) and Bioveer (T. viride) among the bioformulations recorded highest reduction in mycelial growth of pathogen. The two most effective botanicals and bioformulations screened in vitro were further evaluated individually and in combination under field condition for two consecutive seasons. Lowest percent disease incidence (5.23%) was recorded with combination of Biogreen 5 and Bioveer followed by Bioveer alone (7.79%) at 150 days of spray. Foliar spray of X. strumarium and P. pinnata in combination also showed satisfactory reduction in grey blight incidence with PDI of 17.97%. The study revealed that both bioagents and botanicals could be an ecofriendly and sustainable solution for grey blight disease management under organic tea production system.

Authors: Holm-Hudson Kevin
Published: October 2022

Holm-Hudson places Ashley, then just beginning his position at Mills College, at a nexus between his earlier ONCE and Sonic Arts Union group and his later work, noting that Ashley expressed ideas about listening to music that would appear in Automatic Writing (1979), Music with Roots in the Aether (1975), and his opera for television, Perfect Lives (1978–80). Childs and Ashley discuss the ONCE group (his former colleagues Gordon Mumma, Donald Scavarda, Roger Reynolds, and George Cacioppo) and its electronics, Cage, computer music, performance and the future for virtuosi, and the impact on education. Ashley presents his fascination with the act of listening and attention to music, especially in recorded music at home, the perception of time passing, and problems of instrumental music in theater and opera.
Ben Johnston (1926–2019)
Authors: Schneider John
Published: October 2022

Schneider explains “subversive” features of Johnston’s work, with just intonation as “the emancipation of the consonance.” Johnston begins with his interest in tunings, his apprenticeship with Harry Partch, his first microtonal piece, and precompositional structuring. He discusses musical perception (Langer, Stockhausen), his work in overtones, computer and tape music, indeterminacy, working with performers, associations with dance and jazz, and the difficulty of his music. He describes a song cycle then in progress and its system, its resemblance to Knocking Piece (1962), use of computer program and metric modulation. His influences include Carter and Stockhausen, Partch and Cage. Earlier influences include Milhaud, Bartók, Hindemith, and Stravinsky. Childs and Johnston discuss their contemporaries, commissions, universities, the usefulness of consonance and dissonance and lack of progression in twelve-tone works.
Donald Martino (1931–2005)
Authors: Quaglia Bruce
Published: October 2022

Quaglia depicts Martino as interested in the game element and the fun of strict serial systems, and explains his displeasure with the conservatism of musical institutions. Martino discusses his notation for articulation as both emotive and technical, his orchestra pieces, and the imperative for accuracy in notation. He disapproves of novelty for its own sake and sees composition as problem solving. They discuss writing for virtuosi, difficult music, set composition as drama, teaching and student attitudes, B,a,b,b,it,t, Parisonata, and other works, and writing music and articles. Martino disputes “Beethoven and Company” (the classical masterwork culture and musical conservatism). They discuss European music, foundations and support, and compositional careers and mutual support among composers. He explores the twelve-tone system as a “game.”
Gordon Mumma (b. 1935)
Authors: Fillion Michelle
Published: October 2022

Fillion describes the interview as occurring at a “pivotal moment” in Mumma’s career, as she places the conversation in context of Mumma’s previous work with the ONCE group and Sonic Arts Union, his then-current work with Cage, and his subsequent work. Mumma talks about his work in the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and the division of composition between himself, Cage and Tudor. He describes Telepos, its use of accelerometers activated by dancers, and the origin of its title. They discuss reproducibility and whether compositions are made for specific performers, Ambivex, which uses muscular actions to generate sound, the ONCE years and the Sonic Arts Union; European attitudes, and recordings. They discuss universities and independent composers, the traditional concert situation, the ideal studio, critics, and performance situations.
Michael Sahl (1934–2018)
Authors: Lewis David Neal
Published: October 2022

Lewis positions Sahl as an outsider (Kyle Gann called his work “Sahlesque”) who took up polystylism. Sahl explains his interest in various styles from childhood, his education in modern music at Princeton, Tanglewood, writing “semi-classical” music, individualism, avoidance of university life. He discusses classism, personal style and sincerity, false reverence in classical music, European attitudes, nostalgia, finding roots, finding his identity through Gershwin in Florence, and Princeton as an outpost of European culture. Childs and Sahl explore Cage’s impact on American music, West Coast music, making a living from art, elitism, and the return of tonality. Sahl describes touring with Judy Collins, his interest in amplified instruments and song writing, and the symphony orchestra as industrial model.
Christian Wolff (b. 1934)
Authors: Anderson Virginia
Published: October 2022

Anderson notes that the interview took place at an important point in Wolff’s life: the premiere of his piece Burdocks (1971)—the climax of his association with the English composer Cornelius Cardew—and his first year teaching music at Dartmouth College. Childs and Wolff discuss Wolff’s approach to notation, Edges, and performance situations. Wolff describes his Practical Introduction to Music course and plans for another course with Jon Appleton. He talks of working with Cage and Cunningham, Burdocks and Cardew’s The Great Learning. He talks of living in England, prose notation; the Scratch Orchestra and the London premiere of Burdocks. They discuss commissions, strategies for changing the concert tradition, the influence of Wolff’s classics education on his music, ethics in performance; finally Cardew’s Maoist attacks on Cage and Stockhausen, leading to a change in Wolff’s own political thinking.
Charles Wuorinen (1938–2020)
Authors: Quaglia Bruce
Published: October 2022

Quaglia describes Wuorinen’s move from strict dodecaphony, and leaving Columbia for the Manhattan School of Music at the time of the interview; also Wuorinen’s interest in Chinese thought. Wuorinen talks about the challenges for composers and performers in this new music: a “higher standard of artistic morality;” also new instrumental resources, and the independence of composers as a reflection of the wandering scholars of China. They discuss financial support in the United States compared to support in Europe, the American “inferiority complex,” uniqueness of the work and artistic identity, history, and style. Wuorinen notes the impossibility of merging the twelve-tone system and tonality and how he works from detail to larger structure. They discuss New Romanticism, music education, his upcoming opera, The W. of Babylon; also the difficulty of performing Wuorinen’s music and finally, his early works.
The Action/Adventure Melodramas
Authors: Friedman Lester D.
Published: October 2022

Almost all of Spielberg’s films can aptly be classified as family-based narratives that center on the tensions, fissures, and breakdowns within domestic relationships, thereby qualifying as melodramas. Within these films, Spielberg’s obsession with reconstituting families persists, and his fixation with strong father figures remains. A crucial key to understanding his sustained success is to recognize his uncanny ability to merge constructed action sequences with increasingly developed character progressions. We care about the character as well as the adventure. These journeys radiate not from their characters’ desires for external goals (i.e., money, fame, or escape) but rather from the domestic obsessions to reconstitute shattered families. Thus, several of Spielberg’s features about contemporary daily life conclude with irreparably demolished families incapable of consummating any semblance of enduring emotional stability.
The War Films
Authors: Friedman Lester D.
Published: October 2022

Spielberg’s war movies mark signposts in his development as a filmmaker. He filters these epic social upheavals through the lens of individual personalities that put human faces on complicated issues and reveal a recurring series of motifs and themes that obsess him. War provides Spielberg with almost unlimited visual possibilities that merge beauty with horror, killing with bravery, and nobility with cowardice. Spielberg is not naturally drawn to violence, but he executes battle scenes with a consummate level of technical expertise that eludes most other filmmakers. For Spielberg, however, the most intimate moments between people resonate as powerfully, if not more so, than the clash of armies in the night.
Introduction
Authors: Dickerson-Cousin Christina
Published: October 2022

This introduction opens with the Thompsons, a Black Indian family living Indian Territory in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Thompsons were fully immersed in Choctaw and Chickasaw culture. They were also staunch members of the AME Church. The Thompsons and many others like them demonstrate the ethnic diversity within the denomination. Scholars have underappreciated this ethnic diversity, a historiographic oversight that this book corrects. The introduction goes on to explain how the foundations of African Methodism were multicultural and how AMEs generally perceived indigenous people. The introduction explains how AME outreach in Indian Territory occurred within the larger context of the African Methodist Migration. The introduction closes with the book's argument and an outline of its chapters.
Danish American Emigrant

Published: October 2022

This chapter discusses Jenson’s birth in 1850, his early life as a member of the Danish peasantry, and his conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It includes as a discussion of missionary work in Denmark. The chapter also discusses the critical factors that induced many Latter-day Saint converts in Denmark to immigrate to the United States and eventually to Utah Territory during the 1850s and 1860s. The development of a transatlantic Latter-day Saint Scandinavian community brought news of better opportunities in the church’s Zion in the West. Jenson’s immigration with his family in 1866 offers a prototypical look at the Latter-day Saint immigration experience repeated by thousands of other Europeans during this period.
Entrepreneurial Chronicler

In 1875, Jenson married Kirsten (Mary) Pedersen and a year later welcomed a son, Andrew. His young family inspired Jenson to seek new, more stable employment. With the approval of Brigham Young, Jenson launched his first historical project, a Danish-language translation of the Prophet Joseph Smith’s history. To support his project, Jenson traveled across Utah Territory soliciting subscribers. His published translation, however, did not immediately breed new successes, illuminating both the risks and pitfalls associated with the frontier printing market. This chapter discusses Jenson’s growth as an entrepreneurial historian, journalist, and champion of the Latter-day Saint Scandinavian community as he produced historical magazines, newspapers, and scripture translations in his native language.
Al Brincar el Charco
Authors: Velázquez Mirelsie
Published: October 2022

Chapter 1 begins with a conversation about the historical consequences of U.S. colonial rule on the island as Puerto Ricans began to migrate to U.S. cities. Examining the role of community-based and citywide organizations in both New York and Chicago allows for a clearer understanding of the challenges faced by the population and the responses initiated to aid in their settlement in these cities—responses that often fell short. Groups such as the Mayor’s Committee on New Residents, the Welfare Council of Metropolitan Chicago, the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, and the Chicago Board of Education are central to this story, as they demonstrate the common tendency to focus on schools and language policies without a clear understanding of the population itself. It is important to highlight a variety of readings of the migratory and settlement history of Puerto Ricans to the United States and Chicago, as these histories vary across different spaces. Chapter 1 fosters an understanding of Puerto Ricans’ initial labor migration, the overlap between labor and education migration for Puerto Rican women in Chicago, and city agencies’ responses to the movement.
Living and Writing in the Puerto Rican Diaspora
Authors: Velázquez Mirelsie
Published: October 2022

Whether in institutions of higher learning or in Humboldt Park, Puerto Ricans working for community change needed to find ways to communicate, document, and share their experiences. Chapter 5 focuses on the development of Puerto Rican print media and its importance in giving voice to the community’s life. Newspapers such as El Puertorriqueño and Que Ondee Sola are central to the story; they gave the community a voice in retelling their history, particularly with regard to schooling. El Puertorriqueño regularly informed parents and community members about critical news from local schools, including information on PTA meetings, open houses, and the hiring and firing of teachers and administrators. In contrast, mainstream newspapers did not have local Puerto Rican writers providing community accounts; nor did they celebrate the successes of the community and its children. Instead, mainstream newspapers created a monolithic portrayal of Puerto Ricans in the city, perpetuating misconceptions regarding the community.
Introduction

Published: October 2022

Through country, musicians tell stories of where they’re from and how they understand themselves. Country music’s storytelling shapes what they share and how they represent themselves. Country and its listeners are regularly assumed to invest in concepts of tradition, naturalness, Christian religiosity, heteropatriarchy, and white supremacy, ways of structuring life that make existence difficult for many trans and queer people. Listening to queer and trans musicians sing their own and others’ country music can offer glimpses into their life experiences and how they engage with ongoing debates about identity. Scholarship on nonheterosexual and/or noncisgender people prompts care in how individuals from different time periods and communities describe their identities. The historical range of the book, from 1939 to 2021, covers a period of rapidly changing terminology. When referring to individuals, the author uses the terms each musician prefers (to the best of their knowledge).
Buy Black
Authors: Halliday Aria S.
Published: October 2022

Negotiating the line between “sell out” and “for us, by us,” Buy Black explores how Black women cultural producers’ further Black women’s historical position as the moral compass and arbiter of Black racial progress in the United States. Black women cultural producers’ aesthetic choices communicate that even though capitalist discourses dictate that anything is sellable in our society, there are some symbols of beauty, femininity, and sexuality that sell better than others because of how they occupy the set of already recognizable and, at times, relatable representations of blackness. While they compete in the consumer market for the attention and loyalty of Black consumer dollars, their capitulation to white corporate interests and audiences requires propagating historical tensions regarding Black consumer citizenship and multicultural inclusion. Each chapter contextualizes the role that Black women in the United States play in the global project of Black consumption, questioning which dolls, which princesses, which rags-to-riches narratives, and which characteristics represent the repertoire of Black girlhood. Through themes of self-making and objectification in dolls, princesses, and hip-hop, Buy Black maps the imagined space of “America” and the cultural attitudes that produced a twenty-first-century Black American sensibility based in representation and consumerism. Buy Black teaches all of us the parameters of Black symbolic power by mapping the confluence of intraracial ideals of blackness, womanhood, beauty, play, and sexuality in popular culture.
Theorizing Black Women’s Cultural Influence through Consumption
Authors: Halliday Aria S.
Published: October 2022

Through a Black feminist theory of consumption that interprets Black women as both cultural producers and consumers, chapter 1, “Theorizing Black Women’s Cultural Influence through Consumption,” reveals the tensions Black women face within a racial marketplace where blackness is a product to be bought, sold, and exchanged. It explores how Black women cultural producers use “embodied objectification”—the process through which they infuse products for mass consumption with their experiences, aesthetics, and intraracial politics while targeting Black girls and women as ideal consumers. Centering Black women’s consumption of Carol’s Daughter and SheaMoisture haircare products, this chapter illustrates how Black women cultural producers harness the symbolic power of Black girlhood and their lived experiences to bridge ideologically based relationships with consumers for present and future generations.
Cascading Crises
Authors: Simpson Dick
Published: October 2022

Systemic institutional racism has existed since our founding. It is manifested in police shootings of African Americans, the lack of police accountability, and torture by Chicago police from the 1960s to the 1990s. Since 2013, police abuses have led to protests under the banner of Black Lives Matter. It remains to be seen if these protests can bring permanent reforms. One of the greatest crises has been the COVDI-19 pandemic. Our society and our lives have been permanently changed. The pandemic also brought on the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. Finally, the turmoil of the 2020 elections left us able to take advantage of the opportunity to take a great leap forward in response to our crises.

Objective. Airway management has undergone a dramatic transformation since the arrival of video laryngoscope (VL). VL has higher intubation success rate on first try and lower complications in comparison to direct laryngoscope (DL). The use of VL is recommended in intubating COVID-19 patients to speed up intubation time and reduce failure rate. A team from Airlangga University developed Wycope Video Laryngoscope (Wycope VL), a VL with Wi-Fi connection to smartphones for an easier VL with low cost. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Wycope VL, C-MAC Video Laryngoscope (C-MAC VL), and DL.Materials and Methods. This study was an analytic observational study with a cross sectional design, involving 63 patients who were divided into 3 groups based on the type of laryngoscope, namely Wycope VL, C-MAC VL, and DL. Intubation is carried out by 4th year anaesthesiology resident. Research subjects were patients who will undergo elective surgery at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital under general anaesthesia using orotracheal tube. Inclusion age of 19-64 years, PS ASA 1-2, no anatomical abnormalities of the airway, did not have difficult airway, and was willing to participate in the study.Results. All patients were successfully intubated without complications. C-MAC VL (5.33±1.42 seconds) and Wycope VL (5.95±0.74 seconds) was significantly faster in seeing vocal folds and glottis compared to DL (7.14±0.72 seconds) with P=0.000. DL was significantly faster in average time of intubation (15.52±5.90 seconds) compared to C-MAC VL (16.95±1.11 seconds) and Wycope VL (20.29±2.81 seconds) with P=0.000.Conclusion. DL was faster compared to VL in speed of intubation while C-MAC VL and Wycope VL was faster in viewing the vocal folds and glottis compared to DL.
