CAGE20-3 Cruise Report: Geochemical and Sedimentological Investigation into Ingøydjupet, Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano and the Sorvestnaget Sand Waves
Authors: Waghorn Kate A. , Waage Malin , Argentino Claudio
Published: January 2023

This expedition ran between July 28 and August 3 2020, targeting three sites in the Barents Sea, an area of glacial landforms in Ingøydjupet trough, the Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano and the Sorvestnaget Sand Wave area. Our short but productive expedition gave three post-doctoral researchers the opportunity to follow a research hypothesis from conception through planning and data collection aboard the research vessel, as well as plan and lead a research expedition. At the Ingøydjupet and Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano study areas, our objectives were to collect cores for geochemical analyses of the area and bathymetry data for geophysical analyses while the objectives at the sand waves are were to collect a time-lapse multibeam survey and grab samples for sedimentological analysis

During the cruise CAGE 20-7 (November 2nd to 16th 2020), we observed and investigated a large active methane seepage area south from the Yermak plateau (Northern Svalbard), in particular to characterize the water column and the sediment near known flares in Norskebanken (Geissler et al., 2016). Some flares were targeted for gas composition, DNA and bubble size distribution. The combination of the R/V Kronprins Haakon and the ROV ÆGIR 6000 from the Norwegian Marine Robotics Laboratory at the University of Bergen allowed this investigation to happen in this rough environment, while collecting invaluable data from the ROV.

Chained to History
Authors: Brady Steven J.
Published: January 2023

This book places slavery at the center of the story of America's place in the world in the years prior to the calamitous Civil War. Beginning with the immediate aftermath of the War of the American Revolution, the book follows the military, economic, and moral lines of the diplomatic challenges of attempting to manage, on the global stage, the actuality of human servitude in a country dedicated to human freedom. The book shows how slavery was interwoven with America's foreign relations and affected policy controversies ranging from trade to extradition treaties to military alliances. The book highlights the limitations placed on American policymakers who, working in an international context increasingly supportive of abolition, were severely constrained regarding the formulation and execution of preferred policy. Policymakers were bound to the slave interest based in the Democratic Party and the tortured state of domestic politics bore heavily on the conduct of foreign affairs. As international powers not only abolished the slave trade but banned human servitude as such, the American position became untenable. From the Age of Revolutions through the American Civil War, slavery was a constant factor in shaping US relations with the Atlantic World and beyond. The book addresses this critical topic in its complete scope and shows the immoral practice of human bondage to have informed how the United States re-entered the community of nations after 1865.
Vultures of the World
Authors: Bildstein Keith L.
Published: January 2023

This book provides an engaging look at vultures and condors, seeking to help us understand these widely recognized but underappreciated birds. It introduces readers to the essential nature of vultures and condors. Not only do these most proficient of all vertebrate scavengers clean up natural and man-made organic waste but they also recycle ecologically essential elements back into both wild and human landscapes, allowing our ecosystems to function successfully across generations of organisms. With distributions ranging over more than three-quarters of all land on five continents, the world's twenty-three species of scavenging birds of prey offer an outstanding example of biological diversity writ large. Included in the world's species fold are its most abundant large raptors—several of its longest-lived birds and the most massive of all soaring birds. With a fossil record dating back more than fifty million years, vultures and condors possess numerous adaptions that characteristically serve them well but at times also make them particularly vulnerable to human actions. The book is a global treatment of vultures, offering a roadmap of how best to protect these birds and their important ecology.
Fractured Militancy
Authors: Paret Marcel
Published: January 2023

Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with activists, this book tells the story of postapartheid South Africa from the perspective of Johannesburg's impoverished urban Black neighborhoods. Nearly three decades after South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy, widespread protests and xenophobic attacks suggest that not all is well in the once-celebrated “rainbow nation.” The book traces rising protests back to the process of democratization and racial inclusion. This process dangled the possibility of change but preserved racial inequality and economic insecurity, prompting residents to use militant protests to express their deep sense of betrayal and to demand recognition and community development. Underscoring remarkable parallels to movements such as Black Lives Matter in the United States, the book attests to an ongoing struggle for Black liberation in the wake of formal racial inclusion. Rather than unified resistance, however, class struggles within the process of racial inclusion produced a fractured militancy. Revealing the complicated truth behind the celebrated “success” of South African democratization, the book uncovers a society divided by wealth, urban geography, nationality, employment, and political views. It warns of the threat that capitalism and elite class struggles present to social movements and racial justice everywhere.
Police, Provocation, Politics
Authors: Yonucu Deniz
Published: January 2023

This book presents a counterintuitive analysis of contemporary policing practices, focusing particular attention on the incitement of counterviolence, perpetual conflict, and ethnosectarian discord by the state security apparatus. Situating Turkish policing within a global context and combining archival work and oral history narratives with ethnographic research, the book demonstrates how counterinsurgency strategies from the Cold War and decolonial eras continue to inform contemporary urban policing in Istanbul. Shedding light on counterinsurgency's affect-and-emotion-generating divisive techniques and urban dimensions, the book shows how counterinsurgent policing strategies work to intervene in the organization of political dissent in a way that both counters existing alignments among dissident populations and prevents emergent ones. The book suggests that in the places where racialized and dissident populations live, provocations of counterviolence and conflict by state security agents as well as their containment of both cannot be considered disruptions of social order. Instead, they can only be conceptualized as forms of governance and policing designed to manage actual or potential rebellious populations.
Banking on Growth Models
Authors: Bell Stephen , Feng Hui
Published: January 2023

This book contends that China's rapid economic rise from the late 1970s to today has been built on and shaped by a highly politicized and inefficient bank-centric financial system. The book argues that if the Chinese growth model drives how key economic sectors interact, no amount of incremental reform can have much impact on the financial system—meaningful reform can stem only from a revised growth model. For a time after the global financial crisis, it appeared that the expansion of a more market-oriented shadow banking system might help sustain China's economic growth. Since around 2015, however, Xi Jinping's regime has reversed this trajectory and placed China's financial system under heavy state control, resulting in slowed economic development and skyrocketing national debt. China's market transition and economic rebalancing are now in doubt, as is the fate of the nation's economy. By pinpointing finance as a vital element of the growth model, the book provides a convincing assessment of financial risks and the prospects for economic rebalancing in China. It demystifies the world of Chinese banking and finance as it investigates an ever-rising national debt, a declining rate of economic growth, and the possibility of dire and drastic reform by the Asian superpower's government.
We Showed Baltimore
Authors: Swezey Christian
Published: January 2023

This book tells the story of how a brash coach from Long Island and a group of players unlike any in the sport helped unseat lacrosse's establishment. From 1976 to 1978, the Cornell men's lacrosse team went on a tear. Winning two national championships and posting an overall record of 42–1, the Big Red, coached by Richie Moran, were the class of the NCAA game. This book tells the story of the rise of this dominant lacrosse program and reveals how Cornell's success coincided with and sometimes fueled radical changes in what was once a minor prep school game centered in the Baltimore suburbs. Led on the field by the likes of Mike French and Eamon McEneaney, in the mid-1970s Cornell was an offensive powerhouse. Moran coached the players to be in fast, constant movement. That technique, paired with the advent of synthetic stick heads and the introduction of artificial turf fields, made the Cornell offensive game swift and lethal. The book recounts Cornell's dramatic games against traditional powers such as Maryland, Navy, and Johns Hopkins, and delves into the strategy and psychology that Moran brought to the team. It describes how the game of lacrosse was changing—its style of play, equipment, demographics, and geography. The book paints a vivid picture of lacrosse in the 1970s and how Moran and the Big Red helped create the game of today.
Prologue
Authors: Swezey Christian
Published: January 2023

This chapter highlights the prominence of Cornell lacrosse teams after winning years of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships. The chapter starts with the 1978 NCAA semifinal match between Cornell and Navy being filled with spectators. Meanwhile, Cornell moved home lacrosse games to Schoellkopf Field following its first NCAA lacrosse championship game. The Schoellkopf Field stadium now features state-of-the-art synthetic FieldTurf, a giant video screen, and the Crescent stands. The chapter looks into the arrival of Eamon McEneaney to play for Cornell. McEneaney has been considered as the heart and soul of the team following his return to the lacrosse field in May 2001. The chapter also elaborates on Richie Moran's coaching career.
June 13, 1970
Authors: Swezey Christian
Published: January 2023

This chapter focuses on Lexington hosting the annual North–South College All-Star lacrosse games on June 13, 1970. It explains that the Wilson Field event involved revealing all-American teams and the naming of the national champion. While lacrosse had not been well-known in Lexington, Virginia, the town knew the stakes and notion of a North and South match. The Vietnam War dominated college campuses and media across the country in 1970, which meant that lacrosse was not given a respite amidst the era marked by anxiety and protest. The chapter also notes how the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) agreed to initiate a postseason tournament for lacrosse.
The Climb Begins
Authors: Swezey Christian
Published: January 2023

This chapter looks into the people involved in the continuous victory of Cornell. It starts with Cornell athletic director Robert J. Kane, who lead the team to its undefeated 1970 season before becoming the president of the US Olympic Committee by 1977. It moves onto Bob Cullen and Alphonse “Junior” Kelz who introduced conditioning and winter box lacrosse workouts that culminated with a box scrimmage against Rutgers. The chapter then tackles the coaching history of Ned Harkness, who won two National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) hockey titles before becoming a coach for the Cornell lacrosse team in 1965. The chapter also explicates Richie Moran's coaching career.
Barbarians at the Gate
Authors: Swezey Christian
Published: January 2023

This chapter expounds on Richie Moran becoming the barbarian at lacrosse's gate. It clarifies that Moran was not much of a revolutionary, but he did raise his reputation for being anathema to the Baltimore establishment due to his sideline demeanor. Cornell was on a quest to win trophies after Moran took his post as the head coach. The chapter also looks into the player profiles within Moran's team. Moran cut costs where he could as the Cornell lacrosse team attempted to continue fall workouts and escape Ithaca's brutal weather to Raleigh. Meanwhile, the US government approved the patent for the plastic lacrosse stick head, which was hoped to improve play in wet weather. The chapter gives a run down on Cornell's final home game against Princeton, which led to the injury of Bob Rule.
From Brown Stadium
Authors: Swezey Christian
Published: January 2023

This chapter focuses on the Cornell–Maryland National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) finals. It notes Brown coach Cliff Stevenson's prediction of the final match being the greatest lacrosse game of all time. On the day of the match, parties were going on outside the stadium since it was declared to be a holiday weekend. The chapter provides a play-by-play commentary of the intense Cornell versus Maryland resulting in overtime. After the game, Maryland players had their heads in their hands, while Cornell players threw their equipment into the air to celebrate their victory. The controversy around the final stages of regulation in the 1976 title game resulted in changes from the NCAA. Some of the changes include neutral officials at the scorer's table and access to the Marine signal horn to stop play.
Flamin’ Eamon
Authors: Swezey Christian
Published: January 2023

This chapter expounds on the growth of lacrosse coming from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) itself. The Official Lacrosse Guide, released by the NCAA, published high-school lacrosse programs that grew to 413 programs by 1977. Moreover, the growth spurt of lacrosse was also felt at Cornell. However, the Cornell athletic department was struggling even though college lacrosse programs were stealing notes from Richie Moran's ideas. Additionally, the chapter covers the game plans of Cornell involving Mike French, Eamon McEneaney, and Jon Levine. It acknowledges Cornell's winning streak of 25 games. Meanwhile, Dan Mackesey and McEneaney had their final match together in the North–South game at the University of Maryland–Baltimore County in 1977.
That-A-Way in Piscataway
Authors: Swezey Christian
Published: January 2023

This chapter elaborates on Cornell's first loss since the 1975 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) semifinal. It gives a play-by-play commentary of the NCAA match between Cornell and Johns Hopkins at Piscataway in 1978. Johns Hopkins midfielder Bob DeSimone had been the common denominator among Cornell's recorded losses. The rivalry between Johns Hopkins and Cornell remained incredibly fierce in the late 1970s, but the heat between coaches died down when coach Henry Ciccarone retired. The chapter also discusses the subsequent North–South game in Ithaca that followed. It then expounds on the reunion dinner that Richie Moran arranged, which acknowledged players who reached the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association limit, and who sat out because they had made the US national team.
Intermarriage after the Soviet Collapse
Authors: Edgar Adrienne
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines the changing situation of mixed families in independent Kazakhstan and Tajikistan after 1991, when the growth of exclusionary nationalism and renewed emphasis on tradition made life more difficult for those who married across ethnic lines. The chapter discusses how new forms of intermarriage have appeared as Central Asian countries have become more open to the outside world. One sign of the globalization of the past two decades is that citizens of Kazakhstan and Tajikistan may intermarry not just with other former Soviet nationalities but also with citizens of foreign countries such as Turks, Afghans, Iranians, Chinese, Americans, and Western Europeans. The chapter describes the Soviet view of mixed marriage as a union between individuals of two Soviet-defined nationalities that is no longer sufficient. Expressions of hostility toward ethnic mixing are widespread among government officials, scholars, and the broader population, for whom “ethnic purity” has become a valued attribute.
Conclusion
Authors: Edgar Adrienne
Published: January 2023

This chapter looks at how intermarried couples in the Soviet Union believed in a future in which their children would be able to move beyond ethnicity. Unfortunately, this future never arrived for the mixed children of Soviet Central Asia, who live in post-Soviet states that are dominated to varying extents by ethnic nationalism and generally less hospitable to ethnic mixing than their Soviet parents and grandparents could have imagined. The chapter explores the growth of biological and racial understandings of identity in the late Soviet period, which was linked to the revival of interest in genetics after Joseph Stalin's death. The chapter discusses notions of race that had been present in the early Soviet period and had probably circulated in a covert manner. The Soviet regime had declared itself anti-racist and declared the topic of race to be off-limits but it did not mean that ideas about inherited traits and ethnic hierarchies had magically disappeared.
The Riviera, Exposed
Authors: Harp Stephen L. , Zuelow Eric G. E.
Published: January 2023

A sweeping social and environmental history, this book illuminates the profound changes to the physical space that we know as the quintessential European tourist destination. The book uncovers the behind-the-scenes impact of tourism following World War II, both on the environment and on the people living and working on the Riviera, particularly North African laborers, who not only did much of the literal rebuilding of the Riviera but also suffered in the process. Outside of Paris, the Riviera has been the most visited region in France, depending almost exclusively on tourism as its economic lifeline. Until recently, we knew a great deal about the tourists but much less about the social and environmental impacts of their activities or about the life stories of the North African workers upon whom the Riviera's prosperity rests. The technologies embedded in roads, airports, hotels, water lines, sewers, beaches, and marinas all required human intervention—and travelers were encouraged to disregard this intervention. The book's analysis explores the impacts of massive construction and public works projects, revealing the invisible infrastructure of tourism, its environmental effects, and the immigrants who built the Riviera. The book unearths a gritty history, one of human labor and ecological degradation that forms the true foundation of the glamorous Riviera of tourist mythology.
Dynasties Intertwined
Authors: King Matt
Published: January 2023

This book traces the turbulent relationship between the Zirids of Ifriqiya and the Normans of Sicily during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. In doing so, it reveals the complex web of economic, political, cultural, and military connections that linked the two dynasties to each other and to other polities across the medieval Mediterranean. Furthermore, despite the contemporary interfaith holy wars happening around the Zirids and Normans, their relationship was never governed by an overarching ideology like jihad or crusade. Instead, both dynasties pursued policies that they thought would expand their power and wealth, either through collaboration or conflict. The relationship between the Zirids and Normans ultimately came to a violent end in the 1140s, when a devastating drought crippled Ifriqiya. The Normans seized this opportunity to conquer lands across the Ifriqiyan coast, bringing an end to the Zirid dynasty and forming the Norman kingdom of Africa, which persisted until the Almohad conquest of Mahdia in 1160. Previous scholarship on medieval North Africa during the reign of the Zirids has depicted the region as one of instability and political anarchy that rendered local lords powerless in the face of foreign conquest. The book shows that, to the contrary, the Zirids and other local lords in Ifriqiya were integral parts of the far-reaching political and economic networks across the Mediterranean. Despite the eventual collapse of the Zirid dynasty at the hands of the Normans, the book makes clear that its emirs were active and consequential Mediterranean players for much of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, with political agency independent of their Christian neighbors across the Strait of Sicily.
Unmaking Migrants
Authors: Vanderhurst Stacey
Published: January 2023

This book engages critical questions about preventing trafficking by preventing migration through a study of a shelter for trafficking victims in Lagos, Nigeria. Over the past fifteen years, antitrafficking personnel have stopped thousands of women from traveling out of Nigeria and instead sent them to the federal counter-trafficking agency for investigation, protection, and rehabilitation. Government officials defend this form of intervention as preemptive, having intercepted the women before any abuses take place. Yet many of the women protest their detention, insist they were not being trafficked, and demand to be released. As the book argues, migration can be a freely made choice. The book shows the moments leading up to the migration choice, and it shows how well-intentioned efforts to help women considering these paths often don't address their real needs at all.
The Mysterious Romance of Murder
Authors: Lehman David
Published: January 2023

From Sherlock Holmes to Sam Spade; Nick and Nora Charles to Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin; Harry Lime to Gilda, Madeleine Elster, and other femmes fatales—crime and crime solving in fiction and film captivate us. Why do we keep returning to Agatha Christie's ingenious puzzles and Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled murder mysteries? What do spy thrillers teach us, and what accounts for the renewed popularity of morally ambiguous noirs? This book explores a wide variety of outstanding books and movies—some famous (The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity), some known mainly to aficionados—with style, wit, and passion. The book revisits the smoke-filled jazz clubs from the classic noir films of the 1940s, the iconic set pieces that defined Hitchcock's America, the interwar intrigue of Eric Ambler's best fictions, and the intensity of attraction between Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. It also considers the evocative elements of noir—cigarettes, cocktails, wisecracks, and jazz standards—and offers five original noir poems (including a pantoum inspired by the 1944 film Laura) and ironic astrological profiles of Barbara Stanwyck, Marlene Dietrich, and Graham Greene.
How to Do Things with Dead People
Authors: Dailey Alice
Published: January 2023

This book studies human contrivances for representing and relating to the dead. The book takes as the principal objects of inquiry Shakespeare's English history plays, describing them as reproductive mechanisms by which living replicas of dead historical figures are regenerated in the present and re-killed. Considering the plays in these terms exposes their affinity with a transhistorical array of technologies for producing, reproducing, and interacting with dead things—technologies such as literary doppelgängers, photography, ventriloquist puppetry, X-ray imaging, glitch art, capital punishment machines, and cloning. By situating Shakespeare's historical drama in this intermedial conversation, the book challenges conventional assumptions about what constitutes the context of a work of art and contests foundational models of linear temporality that inform longstanding conceptions of historical periodization and teleological order. Working from an eclectic body of theories, pictures, and machines that transcend time and media, the book composes a searching exploration of how the living use the dead to think back and look forward, to rule, to love, to wish and create.
Little, Little Graves
Authors: Dailey Alice
Published: January 2023

This chapter discusses performance and photographic theory to examine representations of the king's corpse, grave, and mirror image in Richard II. It begins with Alexander Gardner's famous portrait of Lewis Payne, who was hanged in 1865 in connection with the Lincoln assassination conspiracy. In Camera Lucida (1980), Roland Barthes observes that the photographed Payne is at once dead and not yet dead: “He is dead and he is going to die.” The photograph captures a moment when Payne was still living while addressing itself to a viewer who is necessarily looking from a future vantage point after that moment has passed. The chapter observes how the many static, inset images of dead Richard in Shakespeare's play function according to a photographic phenomenology that enshrines Richard as an image for his own morbid, future speculation. As the only character in the play who can frankly contemplate the king's corpse, Richard uses that corpse to both engender and populate the future time after his death.
Haunted Histories
Authors: Dailey Alice
Published: January 2023

This chapter identifies a pattern of spectral representation in Henry IV, Parts One and Two, tracing their habit of depicting living characters as haunted by their own deaths—deaths that are at once historically past and dramatically imminent. The chapter considers these spectral representations as forms of double exposure, a photographic technique that has a long association with beliefs in ghosts and spirits. By superimposing an image of the living and an image of the dead, ghostly double exposures generate a visual field in which figures in different metaphysical states are made to occupy a single space and time. Working from Jacques Derrida's concept of “hauntology,” the inhabitation of the self by its spectral other, the chapter sets episodes from the Henry IV plays in conversation with several forms of photographic double exposure, including X-rays, Victorian spiritualist photographs, and Duane Michals's photo sequence, The Spirit Leaves the Body (1968). Like images that represent the coincidence of deadness with aliveness, the Henry IV plays produce a temporality that is hauntological and therefore incongruous with conventional models of ontology, linear time, or teleological order.
The King Machine
Authors: Dailey Alice
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines 3 Henry VI's preoccupation with glitches in reproduction, demonstrating how ideas about what is inherited across generations are often explicitly articulated in death scenes and in descriptions of capital punishment. Such moments expose how hereditary succession must be supplemented by technologies of killing and artificial reproduction to construct sovereignty as the mystical juncture between a mortal body natural and an immortal body politic. The chapter uses Jacques Derrida's seminars on sovereignty and the death penalty, bioethical discussions of cloning, and Andy Warhol's electric chair paintings as theoretical resources for conceptualizing the intersection of death, time, historical representation, and natural and artificial reproduction. Immortal, divine kingship is constructed in Shakespeare's 3 Henry VI through the cooperation of naturalized and artificial reproductive technologies generating sequences of would-be (but not quite) clones: Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI. The problem of imperfect replication is vividly illustrated in the figure of “crookback” Richard of Gloucester, whose glitched body develops into an important component of the play's meditation on successful reproduction.
Postscript
Authors: Dailey Alice
Published: January 2023

This postscript focuses on David Bowie, considering the many possible paths that are suggested but not taken by this book—paths through music, memoir, film, television, dramatic adaptation, and countless other media and art forms that resonate with the history plays' engagement with the dead. Like Richard II's meditation on his corpse, Bowie's reflection on his dead self reproduces him through forms that transcend the deathbed. Even as he constructs his dead self, Bowie is generating afterdeaths, which resonate with those of Andy Warhol, Richard II, Falstaff's Lazaran conscripts, Richard III, and many of the other figures who inhabit this book. “Lazarus” is the title of not only a song from Blackstar but Bowie's late-career musical, which was in its debut off-Broadway run when he died, his artistic creation restaged and replayed again and again even as his body was cremated and his ashes scattered over Bali. As a musician, performer, virtuoso of camp, actor, painter, art collector, denizen of the past, Starman of the future, and as a writer, Bowie hovers at the site of disciplinary and temporal crossings this book explores.
Places of Tenderness and Heat
Authors: Petri Olga
Published: January 2023

This book is a ground-level exploration of queer St. Petersburg at the fin-de-siècle. The book takes us through busy shopping arcades, bathhouses, and public urinals to show how queer men routinely met and socialized. It reconstructs the milieu that enabled them to navigate a city full of risk and opportunity. Focusing on a non-Western, unexplored, and fragile form of urban modernity, the book reconstructs a broad picture of queer sociability. In addition to drawing on explicitly recorded incidents that led to prosecution or medical treatment, the book investigates the many encounters that escaped bureaucratic surveillance and suppression. In doing so, it reveals how queer men's lives were conditioned by developing urban infrastructure, weather, light and lighting, and the informal constraints on enforcing law and moral order in the city's public spaces. The book is an ambitious record of the dynamic negotiation of illicit male homosexual sex, friendship, and cruising, uncovering a historically fascinating urban milieu in which efforts to manage the moral landscape often unintentionally facilitated queer encounters.
Introduction
Authors: Kay Sarah
Published: January 2023

This chapter introduces the concept of medieval songs, which had been an object of imagination and desire for modern scholars, performers, and audiences. Defining the term “song” as just words and music brings the argument of rationality and conception of humanity. The chapter provides the perspective of correlating song to anachrony, which is generally understood as the transference back to an earlier time of something that is held to belong to a subsequent one. It then explores the correlation between Aristotle, the legacy of opera, and the performances of operatic reading. Despite the anachronism, operatic reading offers ways to address medievalists' questions on multimedia works while simultaneously singing in a public performance.
Between Touch and Thought
Authors: Kay Sarah
Published: January 2023

This chapter explores the paradoxical concept of realizing the schema in freestanding songs. It references the trope in a canso by the troubadour Aimeric de Peguilhan to tackle the dynamic of singing that triggers epiphanies. Epiphany in antique literary and visual art typically relies on the senses and imagination. The changes in emphasis between classical or late antique epiphany and its medieval avatars imply the modifications in the dynamic of the sequence placing song between touch and thought. The chapter examines the epiphanies within the Remede de Fortune by Machaut, the heir to the troubadours and trouvères, Boethius, and the authors of late antiquity.
Breath of Beasts and the Ecologies of Inspiration
Authors: Kay Sarah
Published: January 2023

This chapter elaborates on the influence of bestiaries on texts and the dramatic implications for the ecology and scale of breath. It looks into Nicole de Margival's Dit de la Panthere and Guillaume de Machaut's Dit dou Lyon in line with the featured beast in the narrative and the singing their breath. Moreover, the content and form of songs are typically structured by environments and measured by the singer's breath. The chapter tackles the concept of pneuma as a condition under which a substance forms a body or a flow of tension. It explains the in-spiration of a beastly breath that permeates voice between the heavenly spheres, religious revelation, and far-flung continents.

CCDC115 inhibits autophagy‐mediated degradation of YAP to promote cell proliferation
Authors: Feng Hui , Liu Xiao , Zhou Chenqian , Gu Qiuchen , Li Ye , Chen Jianguo , Teng Junlin , Zheng Pengli
Published: January 2023

Autophagy and Hippo signalling pathways both play important roles in cell homeostasis and are often involved in tumourigenesis. However, the crosstalk between these two signal pathways in response to stress conditions, such as nutrient deficiency, is incompletely understood. Here, we show that vesicular localised coiled‐coil domain containing 115 (CCDC115) inhibits autophagy as well as Hippo signalling pathway under starvation. Moreover, we show that CCDC115 interacts with the HOPS complex. This interaction competes with STX17, thus inhibiting the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. Hence, CCDC115 inhibits the autophagic degradation of yes‐associated protein (YAP), thereby promoting cell proliferation in nutrient‐restricted situation.
Zebrafish and medaka T1R (taste receptor type 1) proteins mediate highly sensitive recognition of l‐proline
Authors: Goda Ryusei , Watanabe Soichi , Misaka Takumi
Published: January 2023

In vertebrates, nutritional tastants, such as amino acids and sugars, are recognized by G‐protein‐coupled receptors of the taste receptor type 1 (T1R) family. Previous studies have shown that fish T1Rs are functionally distinct from mammalian T1Rs in certain regards. Here, we report the existence of oral receptors with high sensitivity to amino acids in zebrafish and medaka fish. We describe the construction of multiple cell lines stably expressing functional T1Rs (from medaka fish or zebrafish) with a chimeric G‐protein (G16gust44) using the Flp‐In system. Through functional assays with these cell lines, medaka fish and zebrafish were confirmed to possess particular T1Rs highly sensitive to l‐proline, possibly reflecting the physiological importance of l‐proline in teleosts, in line with previous studies.
NVTrans‐UNet: Neighborhood vision transformer based U‐Net for multi‐modal cardiac MR image segmentation
Authors: Li Bingjie , Yang Tiejun , Zhao Xiang
Published: January 2023

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and image processing technology, medical imaging technology has turned into a critical tool for clinical diagnosis and disease treatment. The extraction and segmentation of the regions of interest in cardiac images are crucial to the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Due to the erratically diastolic and systolic cardiac, the boundaries of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images are quite fuzzy. Moreover, it is hard to provide complete information using a single modality due to the complex structure of the cardiac image. Furthermore, conventional CNN‐based segmentation methods are weak in feature extraction. To overcome these challenges, we propose a multi‐modal method for cardiac image segmentation, called NVTrans‐UNet. Firstly, we employ the Neighborhood Vision Transformer (NVT) module, which takes advantage of Neighborhood Attention (NA) and inductive biases. It can better extract the local information of the cardiac image as well as reduce the computational cost. Secondly, we introduce a Multi‐modal Gated Fusion (MGF) network, which can automatically adjust the contributions of different modal feature maps and make full use of multi‐modal information. Thirdly, the bottleneck layer with Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) is proposed to expand the feature receptive field. Finally, the mixed loss is added to the cardiac image to focus the fuzzy boundary and realize accurate segmentation. We evaluated our model on MyoPS 2020 dataset. The Dice score of myocardial infarction (MI) was 0.642 ± 0.171, and the Dice score of myocardial infarction + edema (MI + ME) was 0.574 ± 0.110. Compared with the baseline, the MI increases by 11.2%, and the MI + ME increases by 12.5%. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed NVTrans‐UNet in the segmentation of MI and ME.

Objective

Mutations in ANXA11 cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and have recently been identified as a cause of multisystem proteinopathy and adult‐onset muscular dystrophy. These conditions are adult‐onset diseases and result from the substitution of Aspartate 40 (Asp40) for an apolar residue in the intrinsically disordered domain (IDD) of ANXA11. Some ALS‐related variants are known to affect ANXA11 IDD; however, the mechanism by which the myopathy occurs is unknown.

Methods

Genetic analysis was performed using WES‐trio. For the study of variant pathogenicity, we used recombinant proteins, muscle biopsy, and fibroblasts.

Results

Here we describe an individual with severe and rapidly progressive childhood‐onset oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy who carries a new ANXA11 variant at position Asp40 (p.Asp40Ile; c.118_119delGAinsAT). p.Asp40Ile is predicted to enhance the aggregation propensity of ANXA11 to a greater extent than other changes affecting this residue. In vitro studies using recombinant ANXA11p.Asp40Ile showed abnormal phase separation and confirmed this variant is more aggregation‐prone than the ALS‐associated variant ANXA11p.Asp40Gly. The study of the patient's fibroblasts revealed defects in stress granules dynamics and clearance, and muscle histopathology showed a myopathic pattern with ANXA11 protein aggregates. Super‐resolution imaging showed aggregates expressed as pearl strips or large complex structures in the sarcoplasm, and as layered subsarcolemmal chains probably reflecting ANXA11 multifunctionality.

Interpretation

We demonstrate common pathophysiology for disorders associated with ANXA11 Asp40 allelic variants. Clinical phenotypes may result from different deleterious impacts of variants upon ANXA11 stability against aggregation, and differential muscle or motor neuron dysfunction expressed as a temporal and tissue‐specific continuum.

Two photon polymerisation using direct laser writing is a burgeoning field of research, with recent focus being placed on bringing added value to microstructures, by incorporating soft, responsive polymers. Moving to the micron‐scale can have a profound impact on such stimuli‐responsive materials, whose speed of actuation can be increased many‐fold compared to their mm‐scale counterparts. Here, the fabrication of submicron 2D photonic structures, based on a vapor‐responsive photoresist with a refractive index <1.55, in the visible wavelength range. The fabricated concentric spiral arrays are evaluated for their feasibility as vapor sensors by testing spectral and structural color reproducibility and reversibility under water, ethanol, isopropanol, and acetone vapors. This approach allows for the realization of predictable uniform color displays that can be modulated upon stimuli response. The transmitted colour in the dry and hydrated states can be accurately modelled. This knowledge is used to design and demonstrate structures for cloaking and image transformation. Such capability can be used for encryption and anti‐counterfeiting applications.

Immunotherapy has been regarded as a breakthrough in cancer treatment and achieved great success. However, the poor response rate is still a formidable challenge of current immunotherapies, especially in solid tumors without sufficient infiltration of immune cells, also known as “cold tumor.” SAR405 is a highly specific VPS34 inhibitor and has been suggested as a potential approach converting “cold tumor” into “hot tumor” by inhibiting autophagy. In this study, a tri‐functional doxorubicin (DOX) plus SAR405 liposome system is established and further modified with a novel anti‐PD‐L1 peptide JY4 for targeted delivery (DOX‐SAR‐JY4LIPO). The data here demonstrate that in a lung cancer xenograft mouse model, by facilitating the tumoral enrichment of both SAR405 and DOX, DOX‐SAR‐JY4LIPO effectively increases the infiltration of cytotoxic lymphocytes in the tumor by synergizing DOX‐induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) and SAR405‐mediated upregulation of chemokines including CCL5 and CXCL10. As results, DOX‐SAR‐JY4LIPO significantly inhibits tumor growth, metastasis, and resurrection by re‐educating immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. In conclusion, this study not only proves the concept of inhibiting autophagy for better immune infiltration in the tumor but also presents a novel tri‐functional liposomal system that overcomes the deficiencies of current therapies and holds great promise in cancer immunotherapy.

The charging of persistent luminescence using an infrared laser as a power source and an upconversion process is a recently proposed trend in the field of persistent luminescence that allows expansion of the potential applications for these materials. In bioimaging at nanoscale, it allows for increased rechargeability capacity, as the excitation wavelength is fully inside the biological window. In this work, a novel approach is proposed to this phenomenon using energy transfer on associated materials. For this purpose, β‐NaGd0.8Yb0.17Er0.03F4 nanoparticles, known for their efficient upconversion, and Zn1.33Ga1.335Sn0.33Cr0.005O4 nanoparticles, known for their persistent luminescence properties, have been synthesized and associated through a dry impregnation method. The obtained hybrid material is found to present persistent luminescence at 700 nm after charging with a 980 nm laser. A mechanism is proposed to explain this energy transfer process and the capabilities of the hybrid material as rechargeable persistent nanoprobe for in vivo applications are shown.

Published: January 2023

A Cu(I)‐catalyzed 1,3 oxo alkylation of indazole has been developed for constructing N‐1‐alkylated indazolone derivatives. This cascade reaction involves the formation of C−N and C−O bonds through the sequential functionalization of N1 and C3 positions of indazole in 41–89% yields. The photo‐physical studies of the synthesized compounds showed efficient quantum yields with high Stoke shift values. The preliminary experimental results suggest an aerobic manifold of the present protocol through single electron transfer.

Published: January 2023

The oxidative [3+2+1] annulation reaction of aldehydes, 5‐aminopyrazoles, and nitriles is achieved under the oxidation of I2/O2, affording various valuable pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyrimidines in 27%–91% yields. The salient feature of this reaction is transition‐metal free, operationally simple, broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and gram‐scalable. Remarkably, the corresponding products exhibited intriguing photophysical properties such as Aggregation‐Induced Emission (AIE) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and showed good potential to specifically light up lipid droplets (LDs) in living cells with bright fluorescence, low cytotoxicity, and good photostability.
