Authors: BAWISKAR S. M. , CHIPADE M. D. , MUJUMDAR V. R. , BHIDE U. V. , SINGH S. S.
Published: January 2022

Temporal and spatial variations of the energetics of the lower tropospheric zonal wave number one are compared for monsoon 2002 (a recent drought year) and monsoon 1997 (a normal monsoon year).  Fourier technique is used to calculate momentum transport, kinetic energy and wave to wave interaction. Daily global grid point NCEP wind (u & v) data at 850 hPa for 153 days (1 May to 30 September) are considered.

                Daily and weekly variations of the energetics of wave number one indicate that as long as the momentum transport or kinetic energy of wave number one around 10° N  is strong, the rainfall is better and vice-versa. The  amplitude of wave number one was almost half during 2002 as compared to that of during 1997,  which resulted into less transport of momentum and meager supply of kinetic energy throughout the monsoon season of 2002. The significant release of kinetic energy by wave number one may have played a vital role in triggering five intense systems during 1997 whereas the  weak supply of kinetic energy  may have failed to trigger a single system during monsoon 2002.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Work-related neck pain is demonstrated as neck pain that is produced or provoked by labor or the working atmosphere. It is one of the most common complaints especially among workers who use computer extensively at their workplace. Office work demands long time in front of computer screens and if there is lack of ergonomic use, lack of awareness of proper body positioning and the positioning of the desk, keyboard, and screen all lead to pain neck. Objective: The objective of this study was to find the frequency of neck pain due to necktie among bankers. Methods: It was a cross sectional study. Data was taken from 277 participants through Neck disability index questionnaire through convenient sampling technique from all the male workers of banks who were wearing tie on regular basis. Data was presented as bar charts and pie charts by using Statistical Package for social sciences version 25. Results: About 184 (66.4%) were having pain in neck in past 6 months. About half of those who were suffering from pain have moderate pain 145 (86.8%), 14 (8.3) have mild pain and 8 (4.7%) were having severe pain in neck. Conclusion:It is concluded that about 66.4% bankers were having pain and majority of bankers have moderate level neck pain due to prolong working hours.
Using Service-Learning to Teach a Social Work Policy Course
Authors: Mink Tarin , Twill Sarah
Published: January 2022

Preparing students to be passionate about and engage in policy work can be a challenge for social work educators. Previous research supports that service-learning can increase positive attitudes and participation in macro practice. This manuscript presents a policy course that was taught using service-learning projects. Feedback from students was collected during the course and 15 months after its conclusion. Feedback from students suggested that students increased their confidence and competencies as policy practitioners and that the service-learning projects were influential in that change. After the course, students were engaging in policy activities such as calling, emailing, or writing an elected official, working on a specific policy change effort, participating as a member of a coalition working on a political issue of change, and voting. Lessons learned from this service-learning project are applicable to allied disciplines; implications for wider curriculum adoption and future research are discussed.
Critical Race Feminism: A Transformative Vision for Service-Learning Engagement
Authors: Verjee Begum
Published: January 2022

This article explores the development of service-learning from a critical race feminist perspective. Critical race feminism seeks to understand how society organizes itself along intersections of race, gender, class, and other forms of social hierarchies. It utilizes counter-storytelling as methodology and legitimizes the voices of women of colour in speaking about social oppression. Though counter-storytelling, women of colour students, non-academic staff, faculty, and non-university community members relayed their experiences at The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, which formed the basis for a transformative vision of service-learning engagement. This vision calls for institutional accountability, requiring a critical examination and transformation of hegemonic structures and practices from within before any genuine, respectful, and mutually beneficial relationships with communities of colour can be developed. Such partnerships would enable the university to create outstanding partnerships to address and solve local, national, and global injustices.

Authors: Franz Nancy , Childers Jeri , Sanderlin Nicole
Published: January 2022

This article describes one team’s efforts to assess the culture of engagement at Virginia Tech. The team utilized a two-pronged approach to analyze the current culture of engagement on campus. This included focus groups with faculty, administrators, and graduate students in two colleges at the university to address pedagogy, implications, and practical issues related to engagement. Analysis of college strategic plans was also completed to assess language related to engagement and engaged scholarship. We found why faculty, administrators, and students conduct engagement work and the challenges and opportunities of doing so. We also discovered what criteria these individuals use to determine quality engagement, what they believe engagement on campus should look like, and the products derived from engagement work. This article describes our team’s efforts and documents the lessons learned to inform similar efforts on other campuses.
La pandemia como factor de exclusión de los estudiantes con discapacidad en la educación superior
Authors: Pérez-Castro Judith
Published: January 2022

En el artículo analizamos las principales consecuencias que la pandemia por COVID-19 ha tenido en los estudiantes universitarios con discapacidad. Partimos del reconocimiento de que las instituciones han hecho importantes esfuerzos por responder a la contingencia sanitaria a través de diversas medidas, sin embargo, hacen falta estrategias que respondan a las necesidades de los alumnos con discapacidad. Algunas de las barreras que ha enfrentado esta población son: la falta de información accesible, la disminución de las oportunidades de aprendizaje y participación en clases, la escasez de apoyos y ajustes, así como la reducción en el acceso a los recursos y servicios universitarios. Sostenemos que los estudiantes con discapacidad tienen necesidades específicas, pero también tienen otras que comparten los demás grupos en situación de vulnerabilidad, además, el acceso a la educación inclusiva es un derecho reconocido y ratificado en muchos países, entre ellos México. Implementar estrategias para ampliar sus oportunidades de aprendizaje y fortalecer su permanencia en la educación superior, no sólo los beneficia a ellos, sino que beneficia a todos los educandos y abona al desarrollo de instituciones educativas incluyentes.

Authors: KHODABOCUS Mohammad Irshad , SOOKIA Noor-ul-hacq
Published: January 2022

In this paper, a novel class of generalized compact sets (brieﬂy, g-Tg-compact sets ) in generalized topological spaces (brieﬂy,

Tg-spaces ) is studied. The study reveals that g-Tg -compactness implies ordinary compactness (brieﬂy, Tg -compactness ) in

Tg-spaces, and such statement implies its analogue in ordinary topological spaces (brieﬂy, T -spaces ). Diagrams establish the various relationships amongst these types of g-Tg -compactness presented here and in relation to other types of g-T -compactness

in T-spaces presented in the literature of Tg -spaces, and a nice application supports the overall theory.
Using Deep Learning for the Image Recognition of Motifs on the Center of Sukhothai Ceramics
Authors: Chaowalit Orawan , Kuntitan Pitikan
Published: January 2022

The motifs on the center of Sukhothai ceramics are essential elements for determining the age of the ceramics. Sukhothai ceramics in each kiln were made with different pattern production techniques, and thus one specific pattern appears only in a particular kiln. Thus, archaeologists can determine which ceramic was produced from which particular kiln site by investigating its motif. Motif identification requires a well-experienced expert to identify the tracery of the pattern on the center of a ceramic. Thus, identifying such archaeological evidence is complex even for general archaeologists. The aim of this research was to study the use of deep convolutional neural networks for classifying seven motif patterns on the center of Sukhothai ceramics (i.e. Chrysanthemum bouquet, Classic scroll, Conch shell, Fish pattern, Flower head pattern, Printed Chrysanthemum head, and Tibetan Buddhist vajra ). We collected a new dataset, including 557 images of ceramics, from two kiln sites. Each ceramic’s motif was labeled by Thai ceramic experts. The collection of the motifs on the center of the Sukhothai ceramic dataset was called CMC Sukhothai Ceramic Dataset. The efficiency of the motif identification on the center of Sukhothai ceramics was evaluated by comparing five pretrained convolutional neural network models: DenseNet121, InceptionV3, VGG16, GoogLeNet, and AlexNet. Then, the models that were efficient for our dataset were selected and trained by fine tuning. Results showed that the motif recognition of VGG16 + our classification layers generated the best efficiency at 500 epochs of training and 86.54% of accuracy in the test dataset.
Urgensi Desain Collaborative Governance dalam Pemilu dan Pilkada
Authors: Teka Silvester Sili
Published: January 2022

This paper offers collaborative governance as a concept of strengthening collaboration between institutions in the implementation of elections and local elections, namely by examining the phenomenon of electoral malpractice cases in the nomination stages in the 2019 NTT Provincial DPRD Election and the 2020 Sabu Raijua Regent and Deputy Regent Election. This study uses qualitative research methods descriptive with analysis techniques and data collection based on primary data and secondary data and literature study. The study results based on the case studies in this paper found that the concept of collaborative governance was able to overcome the weakness of the rules and the limitations of the authority of the election organizers at the election and regional head elections. This is evidenced by the potential for electoral malpractice in the nomination stage, which lies in the weakness of the rules for the verification mechanism for only administrative candidate requirements, so they are prone to be manipulated by candidates. At the same time, it is known that the validity and correctness of candidate requirements documents is the domain of authority of institutions outside the Organizing Institution Election (LPP). Therefore, collaboration and synergy between election organizers and stakeholders are needed based on collaborative governance to prevent electoral malpractice. The collaborative governance approach encourages collaborative problem solving involving stakeholders based on mutual trust and commitment and is oriented towards consensus. The cycle of collaborative governance that must be passed is face-to-face dialogue, trust-building, commitment to the process, shared understanding, and intermediate outcomes. Furthermore, legal norms are needed to regulate inter-institutional cooperation for election organizers to strengthen collaborative governance.
Mathematical Modeling of Waste Engine Oil Gasification for Synthesis Gas Production; Operating Parameters and Simulation
Authors: MOUSAZADE Mohammad Rasoul , SEDİGHİ Mehdi , KHOSHGOFTAR MANESH Mohammad Hasan , GHASEMİ Mostafa
Published: January 2022

The release of waste oil into the environment will have destructive effects. Gasification is an advanced and environmentally friendly process for converting waste oils into clean combustible gas products. Thermochemical equilibrium modeling has been used in this method to predict the performance of a downdraft gasifier. This model uses the thermodynamic equilibrium of gasification reactions to predict the gases produced in the gas mixture. Having the percentage of gas components produced, different characteristics of the produced gas including H2:CO ratio, process temperature and calorific value of the produced gas, Cold gas efficiencies and carbon conversion efficiency are also obtained. The effect of equivalence ratio, oxygen enrichment and pressure on gasification properties is analyzed. The simulation results are compared with the reported experimental measurements through which the numerical model is confirmed. The results indicated that the equivalence ratio (mole of air in gasification per mole of air in combustion) between 0.4 and 0.42 had the potential to yield the highest calorific value about 10.5 Mj.m-3. The temperature of gaseous mixture in this range will be 2000 K that can be used for other processes such as steam generation. Using pure oxygen instead of air reduces the efficiency of the gasifier from 78% to 55%. Pressure changes from 10 to 65 bar cause gas mixture temperature changes from 1684 to 1690 Kelvin. The H2:CO ratio decreases from 1.6 to 0.6 with increasing equivalence ratio and increases from 1.2 to 1.6 with changes in oxygen enrichment.
A sensitive and simple method for voltammetric analysis of Sudan I as an azo dye in food samples using a Fe3O4-ZIF-67/ionic liquid modified carbon paste electrode
Authors: Shahsavari Mahboobeh , Sheikhshoaie Iran
Published: January 2022

The present study developed a facile and fast electrochemical approach to sensitively analyze Sudan I using Fe3O4-ZIF-67 nanocomposite plus ionic liquid (IL). The carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with Fe3O4-ZIF-67/IL exhibited an excellent electrochemical sensing performance to Sudan I. Compared with the unmodified CPE, Fe3O4-ZIF-67/ILCPE could significantly increase the peak current of Sudan I oxidation and decrease the oxidation overpotentials. Under the best experimental conditions, the sensor using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique responded to Sudan I linearly (0.5 - 560 μM) with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 μM. Additionally, the applicability and effectiveness of our proposed method in sensing Sudan I present in food samples was confirmed by acceptable recovery rate (96.0 - 103.6 %).
EVENT-RELATED POTENTIALS REVEAL IMPAIRED EMOTION-COGNITION INTERACTION IN INDIVIDUALS WITH PUBLIC
SPEAKING ANXIETY

Published: January 2022

This study used reaction time (RT) and event-related potential (ERP) analysis in an emotion-cognition Eriksen-Flanker (ECEF) task to investigate behavioral and neural abnormalities in individuals with public speaking anxiety (PSA). Although 25 per cent of people worldwide suffer from PSA, there is currently a lack of standardized assessment or biomarkers to detect emotion-cognition abnormalities in individuals with PSA.

RT and ERP were compared between 12 subjects with high (H) PSA
and 12 subjects with low (L) PSA in the ECEF experiment. EEG
was recorded with the 14-channel Emotiv EPOC+.

RT data showed a significant Flanker Effect across groups in the
neutral and emotional (PSA-related) conditions, with increased Flanker
effect in the HPSA group. On average, LPSA subjects were faster than
the HPSA subjects in the ECEF task. HPSA subjects showed aberrant
ERP responses in two ways. Firstly in the reversed N200 conflict
effect with increased frontocentral amplitude in the incongruent
compared to the congruent condition. Secondly, in the absence of the
P200 frontocentral emotional modulation found in LPSA subjects. In
the HPSA group, decreased P200 amplitude is significantly related to
impaired behavioral performance in the neutral congruent condition.

RT and ERP are useful in modern medicine because they successfully unveiled the biomarkers of abnormalities during the interaction of emotion and cognition. Impaired conflict processing in PSA-related condi- tions was found at the N200 and P200 windows in HPSA individuals.
Homer Rodeheaver and the Rise of the Gospel Music Industry
Authors: Mungons Kevin , Yeo Douglas
Published: January 2022

Homer Rodeheaver rose to national prominence in the early 20th century as the trombone-playing songleader for Billy Sunday. For twenty years they captured attention with city-wide revival meetings, a mix of sincere devotion, popular religion, and modern marketing methods. In an era when music styles were emerging as marketable genres, Rodeheaver created a brand of gospel music that cast an enormous influence on popular music. Borrowing from evangelical hymns, African American spirituals, and popular music, he built a publishing empire in Chicago, selling hymnals as a way to encourage community singing. When tabernacle revivalism declined after World War I, Rodeheaver shifted to other ventures, bolstered by his personal popularity in a growing celebrity culture. He started the first gospel record label in 1920, then shifted to radio, where his community sing programs ran on three national networks. Near the end of his life, he strongly influenced Billy Graham and Cliff Barrows, the next generation of evangelical revivalists. The authors explore the birth of the commercial Christian music industry and its roots in congregational singing—its early rise as a communal, populist form that would later divide into racial and regional distinctions known as southern gospel and black gospel. As the first major biography of Homer Rodeheaver, the book explores the impact of racial segregation, the influence of technology, and the consequences of commercial Christian music.
Surviving Southampton
Authors: Holden Vanessa M.
Published: January 2022

The 1831 Southampton Rebellion led by Nat Turner included an entire community involved in resistance efforts that led to, and learned from, what happened. Surviving Southampton rediscovers the enslaved women and children and free people of color who lived in Southampton County before, during, and after the insurrection. Mapping the region's multilayered human geography, it draws a fuller picture of the inhabitants, revealing not only their interactions with physical locations but also their social relationships in space and time. Vanessa Holden’s analysis recasts the Southampton Rebellion as one event on a continuum of practices that sustained resistance and survival among local people of color. The book then follows those practices into the future, showing how Southampton’s women, and community, raised children who remembered and heeded the lessons absorbed during the calamitous events of 1831. A bold challenge to traditional accounts, Surviving Southampton sheds new light on the places and people surrounding a momentous event in American history.
Americanaland
Authors: Milward John
Published: January 2022

With a claim on artists from Jimmie Rodgers to Jason Isbell, Americana can be hard to define, but you know it when you hear it. This book is filled with the enduring performers and vivid stories that are at the heart of Americana. At base a hybrid of rock and country, Americana is also infused with folk, blues, rhythm and blues, bluegrass, and other types of roots music. Performers like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Joni Mitchell, and Gram Parsons used these ingredients to create influential music that took well-established genres down exciting new roads. The name Americana was coined in the 1990s to describe similarly inclined artists like Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, and Wilco. Today, Brandi Carlile and I'm With Her are among the musicians carrying the genre into the twenty-first century. Essential and engaging, the book chronicles the evolution and resonance of this ever-changing amalgam of American music.
Heritage and the Existential Need for History
Authors: Webster Maud
Published: January 2022

In a sweeping survey of archaeological sites spanning thousands of years, Heritage and the Existential Need for History asks fundamental questions about the place of cultural heritage in Western society. What is history? Why do we write about the events of yesterday and set up memorials for them? Why do we visit places where momentous things have happened? Maud Webster takes readers on a journey from Bronze Age Mycenae through the Greek Dark Ages, from Medieval Rome through the Italian Renaissance, and from Viking Sweden to Restoration-period England and Civil War America. Combining archaeology, history, and psychology, Webster explores themes including literacy and text, monumentality and spoliation, and death and identity. She traces the human need for history at two levels—the collective, here shown through archaeological evidence, and the individual, shown through written records and the behavior they document. Webster’s robust cross-examination of artifacts and texts, and the illustrations drawn from this methodology, attest that locating our history helps us anchor ourselves, for multiple purposes and from varying perspectives, and that the drive to write and build histories is an enduring part of the human experience.
Earth Politics and Intangible Heritage
Authors: Christie Jessica Joyce
Published: January 2022

Focusing on three communities in North, Central, and South America, Earth Politics and Intangible Heritage layers archaeological research with local knowledge in its interpretations of these cultural landscapes. Using the perspective of Earth Politics, Christie demonstrates a way of reconciling the tension between Western scientific approaches to history and the more intangible heritage derived from Indigenous oral narratives and social memories. Jessica Christie presents case studies from Canyon de Chelly National Monument on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona, United States; the Yucatec Maya village of Coba in Quintana Roo, Mexico; and the Aymara town of Copacabana on Lake Titicaca, Bolivia. Each of these places is home to a longstanding community located near ancient archaeological sites, and in each case residents relate to the ruins and the land in ways that anchor their histories, memories, identities, and daily lives. Christie’s dual approach shows how these ancestral groups have confronted colonial power structures over time, as well as how the Christian religion has impacted traditional lifeways at each site. Based on extensive field experiences, Christie’s discussions offer productive strategies for scientific and Indigenous wisdoms to work in parallel directions rather than in conflict. The insights in this book will serve as building blocks for shaping a regenerative future—not only for these important heritage sites but also for many others across the globe.

Published: January 2022

Um dos grandes desafios na coleta e divulgação de dados de mobilidade urbana está no fato de que esses dados possuem informações que podem comprometer a privacidade dos usuários. Uma alternativa a esse problema é a geração de dados sintéticos que possam preservar as características dos dados reais. Este trabalho analisa a eficácia da utilização de um modelo estatístico clássico e propõe o uso de algoritmos de aprendizado profundo, como as Redes Generativas Adversarias (GANs, em inglês) para geração de séries temporais baseadas em dados de mobilidade urbana. As séries geradas foram comparadas com os dados reais por meio de uma análise visual e uma análise quantitativa. Os resultados mostraram que os modelos baseados em aprendizado profundo são capazes de gerar dados com as mesmas características dos dados reais.

Segurança em imagens Docker: um estudo de ferramentas de análise estática
Authors: Fialho Yuri R. , Bordim Jacir L.
Published: January 2022

O uso da tecnologia de contêineres experimentou uma adoção massiva nosúltimos anos sendo o Docker uma das tecnologias mais utilizadas. O Docker usa o conceito de imagens, que as armazena de forma hierárquica para melhorar a reutilização. Apesar de seus benefícios, as imagens podem apresentar vulnerabilidades de segurança. Quando não tratadas, essas aplicações podem ter riscos em potencial. Embora existam várias ferramentas de análise estática para identificar vulnerabilidades em imagens, suas vantagens e deficiências não são claras, o que torna a tarefa de selecionar uma ferramenta adequada bastante desafiadora. Este trabalho avalia o desempenho de quatro soluções populares na literatura: Anchore Grype, Clair, Dagda e Snyk. A avaliação considera sua capacidade de identificar vulnerabilidades e usabilidade. Usando um conjunto de vulnerabilidades conhecidas nas imagens como linha de base (controle), as ferramentas são comparadas entre si. Os resultados mostram que Anchore Grype obteve o melhor resultado entre as ferramentas avaliadas com uma taxa de identificação (TIV) de 23% das vulnerabilidades do controle utilizado. Entre as ferramentas, Anchore Grype encontrou duas vezes mais vulnerabilidades do que a segunda melhor alternativa.

An Integrative Morphologic and Molecular Approach for Diagnosis and Subclassification of Rhabdomyosarcoma
Authors: Fan Rong , Parham David M. , Wang Larry L.
Published: January 2022

Context.—

Rhabdomyosarcoma, the most common soft tissue sarcoma of children, is currently classified into the following 4 subtypes: embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma, and pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, based on recent molecular genetic knowledge and morphologic features.

Objective.—

To highlight the most recent advances of molecular genetic alterations, and to familiarize pathologists with most recent genotype and phenotype correlation in rhabdomyosarcoma.

Data Sources.—

Data were derived from the World Health Organization Classification of Soft Tissue and Bone Tumors, fifth edition, recently published literature (PubMed), and clinical practice experience.

Conclusions.—

Current classification has been significantly impacted by genotype and phenotype correlation, especially with PAX-FOXO1 fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma versus fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma, and with the emergence of 3 distinct new subtypes of spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma. Although all rhabdomyosarcomas were considered a single diagnostic entity in the past, they are now considered to be a group of histologically similar but biologically diverse entities because their clinical behavior and underlying molecular alterations dramatically differ. This review outlines recent molecular genetic developments, corresponding morphologic features, and current challenges faced by pathologists in daily practice.
Estudo Comparativo da flexão máxima da Articulação da Anca nas Variantes Formal e Natural da Técnica de Bruços
Authors: Vilas-Boas J. Paulo
Published: January 2022

O nível técnico de adequação mecânica das variantes formal (bf) e natural (bn) da técnica de bruços constitui um importante pó­lo de interesse da biomecância da natação. Um dos argumentos mais frequentemente utilizados para a justificação da superioridade do bn é a menor flexão máxima da anca tida como característica desta va­riante. Neste trabalho é estudado o ângulo máximo de flexão da anca em cada uma das duas variantes da técnica de bruços. Foram analisa­das imagens subaquáticas de 8 nadadores, 5 do sexo masculino e 3 do sexo feminino, sendo 4 executantes de bf e 4 executantes de bn. Os valores médios dos ângulos de flexão maxima da anca obtidos para ca­da variante não foram significativamente diferentes (p< 0.05), ten­do, contrariamente à maioria dos valores referidos na literatura, sido inferior o nivel de flexão registrado para os executantes de bf.

Relata as adversidades com relação à recursos humanos, instalações físicas, dentre outras enfrentadas na época. O depoimento repleto de saudosismo, revela significados do CEF/UFSM à trajetória de Milo Aita, que só se aposentou da instituição quando completou 70 anos de vida.
Expansão do capital e suas relações na formação docente
Authors: Perini Janine Alessandra
Published: January 2022

Este estudo aborda a formação do professor, com o objetivo de refletir sobre a educação e a tecnologia na sociedade contemporânea, tendo como base o método do materialismo histórico-dialético. Como resultado percebemos que a área educacional está passando por reformas neoliberais a partir dos anos de 1990 na América Latina. Essas reformas estão sob a direção empresarial, transmitindo valores que legitimam os interesses dominantes e mantêm as relações de exploração e expropriação da classe trabalhadora. Concluímos que a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), a reforma do Ensino Médio, o ensino remoto e as medidas de cortes do investimento público em saúde e educação são indícios do descaso com a qualidade da formação das classes trabalhadoras. E que a tecnologia se transformou em instrumento de submissão da força de trabalho a um tempo sem limite, levando a humanidade à exaustão.

Published: January 2022

Neste ensaio, abordo a instalação Perigosos, subversivos, sediciosos (Cadernos do povo brasileiro) de Leila Danziger realizada para a exposição “Hiatus: a memória da violência ditatorial na América Latina”. O ponto de partida da exposição que teve a curadoria de Márcio Seligmann-Silva eram os arquivos da Comissão Naciona da Verdade (CNV). O objetivo deste ensaio é pensar a representação da violência e das vítimas da ditadura tal como aparece na obra da artista carioca. Para isso, dialogo com três autores: Emmanuel Lévinas, Judith Butler e Susan Sontag. Realçando os indícios de uma elaboração em processo onde falhas e fissuras provocam o olhar do espectador e propiciam a presença de aparições e histórias singulares, Danziger constrói um atlas que desenquadra o retrato das vítimas e inverte o trajeto da violência.
Transcutaneous medial fixation sutures for free flap inset after robot-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy
Authors: Kim Bong-Sung , Kuo Wen-Ling , Cheong David Chon-Fok , Lindenblatt Nicole , Huang Jung-Ju
Published: January 2022

The application of minimal invasive mastectomy has allowed surgeons to perform nipplesparing mastectomy via a shorter, inconspicuous incision under clear vision and with more precise hemostasis. However, it poses new challenges in microsurgical breast reconstruction, such as vascular anastomosis and flap insetting, which are considerably more difficult to perform through the shorter incision on the lateral breast border. We propose an innovative technique of transcutaneous medial fixation sutures to help in flap insetting and creating and maintaining the medial breast border. The sutures are placed after mastectomy and before flap transfer. Three 4-0 nylon suture loops are placed transcutaneously and into the pocket at the markings of the preferred lower medial border of the reconstructed breast. After microvascular anastomosis and temporary shaping of the flap on top of the mastectomy skin, the three corresponding points for the sutures are identified. The three nylon loops are then sutured to the dermis of the corresponding medial point of the flap. The flap is placed into the pocket by a simultaneous gentle pull on the three sutures and a combined lateral push. The stitches are then tied and buried after completion of flap inset.
Objective quantification of the impact of blepharoplasty on the superior visual field
Authors: Kim Hyodong , Lee Sanghun , Son Daegu , Yeo Hyeonjung
Published: January 2022

Background Blepharoplasty has both aesthetic and functional benefits in patients with pseudoptosis; however, previous studies could not demonstrate its beneficial effects quantitatively and objectively. The authors objectively analyzed the visual field before and after surgery and investigated whether measurements of the visual field can be applied as a suitable predictor of surgical outcomes.

Methods In total, 18 eyelids in nine patients with pseudoptosis who had undergone simple skin excision blepharoplasty were evaluated prospectively from February to May 2016. The visual fields were analyzed preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively using the Goldmann kinetic perimetry test. The visual field test area was assessed using Adobe Photoshop.

Results Blepharoplasty had an average 4.99-fold beneficial effect on the superior visual field. In particular, more improvement was seen in the superior temporal quadrant than in the nasal quadrant. No correlation was found between the preoperative margin-to-reflex distance 1 (MRD1) and the surgical outcome (P=0.119). However, there was a strong correlation between the preoperative superior visual field and the surgical outcome (P=0.001).

Conclusions Using the Goldmann kinetic perimetry test, we objectively and quantitatively proved the beneficial effect of blepharoplasty on patients with pseudoptosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the preoperative visual field is a better preoperative surgical outcome predictive factor than the preoperative MRD1.
“Supersessionism”: The Political Origin of a Theological Neologism
Authors: Azar Michael G.
Published: January 2022

This article proceeds along three primary lines. First, through an examination of the writings of Roy and Alice Eckardt and Franklin Littell, it demonstrates that the categorizing of ancient and modern Christian thinkers under the umbrella of “supersessionism” (along with the label for its proponent, the “supersessionist”) originated not in scholarly works of theological history or systematic theology, where the concepts now most frequently appear, but in the political environment of burgeoning American Christian support for the State of Israel’s military superiority. Second, this article foregrounds the way that these writings opposed themselves to Eastern Christians, Arabs, and church fathers. Third, it shows that, in light of their approach to both “traditional” theology and Christian (especially Orthodox) and non-Christian Arabs, the Eckardts, Littell, and other likeminded pioneers of American Christian-Jewish relations did not so much overcome the “supersessionism” myth that they identified and rejected as much as they redirected its principal elements toward a new cast of characters. The article concludes by briefly considering the common role played by “supersessionism” as a sort of “gateway” into Jewish-Christian relations for non-Western theologians, with the hope of reshaping a historically problematic aspect of Jewish-Christian relations that has tended to hinder, rather than facilitate, more frequent Orthodox and other Arab Christian participation in Jewish-Christian dialogue.
Migrant Memory, Movement, and Misrecognition: Reactivating Diasporic Experience Toward an Anticolonial Politics of Place
Authors: Ortuzar Jimena
Published: January 2022

How might diasporic experiences of loss and displacement aid immigrants in responding to and acknowledging Indigenous lands and territories? Drawing from my own immigrant experience, I retrace and reinvent my movement in Tkaronto through walking practices that recover memories of migrancy as a newcomer to the land known as Canada. Such memories can be useful sources for immigrants to consider their relationship to settler colonialism. Reactivating them through movement might elicit a new responsiveness to the land as well as recognition of its caretakers and their struggles. I reflect on the possibilities that such a practice of walking and thinking through embodied memories can open up for undoing the coloniality of thought that underpins migrant aspirations for “a better-than-survival kind of living” (Berlant) and that so often results in assimilation to, and participation in, a settler colonial state.
Wissenschaftsdiskurs in der Corona-Krise in deutschen und ungarischen Medien. Eine vergleichende linguistische Analyse
Authors: Péteri Attila
Published: January 2022

Die Corona-Krise im Frühjahr 2020 hat dem Diskurs über die Möglichkeiten, Grenzen und Verantwortung der Wissenschaft neuen Schwung gegeben. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden ein deutscher und ein ungarischer Pressetext zum Wissenschaftsdiskurs von Mai und Juni 2020 miteinander verglichen. Die Diskursakteure sprechen das Problem der Corona-Krise auf den ersten Blick sehr ähnlich an. Durch die sorgfältige diskurslinguistische Analyse werden jedoch in den stark divergierenden sprachlichen Formulierungsmustern sehr unterschiedliche Positionierungen aufgedeckt. Am Beispiel dieser Diskursanalyse werden im Beitrag auch die besonderen Erkenntnismöglichkeiten der Sprachwissenschaft besprochen sowie auch die schwer zu ziehenden Kompetenzgrenzen des Linguisten problematisiert.
Political Animals
Authors: Steinlight Emily
Published: January 2022

This chapter highlights the early Victorian era and focuses on the city as a key site for the administration of mass life. The chapter takes up a formal problem revealed by realist fiction and social science. With different aims, the two overlap to produce a heterogeneous genre that might be called mass writing. Such writing serves as a heuristic for understanding why population, central as it is, becomes incoherent as a category — why it transmutes not only into other formations, including race, class, nation, and species but also, and above all, into a degraded remainder of itself. Contrasting the cliché that fiction personalizes while social science aggregates, the chapter finds industrial fiction contributing to a mode of mass writing that proliferated alongside quantitative population analysis. Ultimately, the chapter examines the relation between population and class. It discusses Friedrich Engels's study of working-class environments, Henry Mayhew's taxonomy of casual labor in London, and Elizabeth Gaskell's classic industrial novel Mary Barton.
Envisioning Nagasaki
Authors: Diehl Chad R.
Published: January 2022

This chapter opens with the discussion of the title of Nagasaki's reconstruction law. It narrates the concerns of Nagasaki and Hiroshima representatives who met in Tokyo to submit a proposal to reconstruct as a “peace commemoration city” and to seek a reconstruction law that recognized the “special nature” of their city's destruction. The chapter also outlines how the competition between Nagasaki and Hiroshima grew out of the postwar need for national reconstruction funds. The path of reconstruction, in both cities, was not predetermined but rather grew out of the many visions for reconstruction that emerged during the first several years after the bombing. The chapter then argues that the American occupiers and Christians envisioned the revival of Nagasaki in similar ways to municipal officials, creating what the author calls the municipal vision of reconstruction. Finally, the chapter seeks to link the city's international past to its atomic present instead of defining Nagasaki's place in history solely in terms of the bombing.
Oil Money
Authors: Wight David M.
Published: January 2022

This book offers a new framework for understanding the course of Middle East–US relations during the 1970s and 1980s: the transformation of the US global empire by Middle East petrodollars. During these two decades, American, Arab, and Iranian elites reconstituted the primary role of the Middle East within the global system of US power from a supplier of cheap crude oil to a source of abundant petrodollars, the revenues earned from the export of oil. In the 1970s, the United States and allied monarchies, including the House of Pahlavi in Iran and the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia, utilized petrodollars to undertake myriad joint initiatives for mutual economic and geopolitical benefit. These petrodollar projects were often unprecedented in scope and included multibillion-dollar development projects, arms sales, purchases of US Treasury securities, and funds for the mujahedin in Afghanistan. Although petrodollar ties often augmented the power of the United States and its Middle East allies, the book argues they also fostered economic disruptions and state-sponsored violence that drove many Americans, Arabs, and Iranians to resist Middle East–US interdependence, most dramatically during the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The book utilizes extensive declassified records from the Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan administrations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, Saddam Hussein's regime, and private collections to make plain the political economy of US power. The book is an expansive yet judicious investigation of the wide-ranging and contradictory effects of petrodollars on Middle East–US relations and the geopolitics of globalization.
Causes
Authors: O’Rourke Lindsey A.
Published: January 2022

This chapter presents a security-based theory of regime change. It argues that because most existing theories of regime change focus predominantly on overt operations, they overlook many disconfirming covert cases and misinterpret the motives driving states to intervene. Second, the chapter presents a security-oriented theory for why states attempt regime change and introduces a typology of missions. Third, the chapter considers why states pursue regime change to secure these interests. That is, it questions how policymakers expect regime change to work. The answer is that by installing a foreign government with similar policy preferences, the intervening state hopes to transform its relationship with the target state. Finally, the chapter addresses the question of when states are likely to attempt regime change.
Rolling Back the Iron Curtain
Authors: O’Rourke Lindsey A.
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores the causes, conduct, and consequences of the understudied American covert operations in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. It first explains why these cases were selected. Next, the chapter describes the collective context and objectives of these missions. Third, it asks why the Truman and Eisenhower administrations opted for covert — rather than overt — conduct. The chapter then offers a comparative historical analysis of three cases: Albania, the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and Yugoslavia. It considers why the United States intervened in the first two cases, but not in Yugoslavia, even though all were communist regimes. The case studies also address the reasons the missions in Albania and Ukraine failed, and discusses the pros and cons of covert conduct. Finally, the chapter concludes by drawing out the theoretical lessons of these cases.
