INTEGRATING LASER SCANNER AND BIM FOR CONSERVATION AND REUSE: “THE LYRIC THEATRE OF MILAN”
Authors: Utica G. , Pinti L. , Guzzoni L. , Bonelli S. , Brizzolari A.
Published: December 2017

Abstract. The paper underlines the importance to apply a methodology that integrates the Building Information Modeling (BIM), Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and the Laser Scanner tool in conservation and reuse projects. As it is known, the laser scanner technology provides a survey of the building object which is more accurate rather than that carried out using traditional methodologies. Today most existing buildings present their attributes in a dispersed way, stored and collected in paper documents, in sheets of equipment information, in file folders of maintenance records. In some cases, it is difficult to find updated technical documentation and the research of reliable data can be a cost and time-consuming process. Therefore, this new survey technology, embedded with BIM systems represents a valid tool to obtain a coherent picture of the building state. The following case consists in the conservation and reuse project of Milan Lyric Theatre, started in 2013 from the collaboration between the Milan Polytechnic and the Municipality. This project first attempts to integrate these new techniques which are already professional standards in many other countries such as the US, Norway, Finland, England and so on. Concerning the methodology, the choice has been to use BIM software for the structured analysis of the project, with the aim to define a single code of communication to develop a coherent documentation according to rules in a consistent manner and in tight schedules. This process provides the definition of an effective and efficient operating method that can be applied to other projects.
Real-time prediction of rain-triggered lahars: incorporating seasonality and catchment recovery
Authors: Jones Robbie , Manville Vern , Peakall Jeff , Froude Melanie J. , Odbert Henry M.
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Rain-triggered lahars are a significant secondary hydrological and geomorphic hazard at volcanoes where unconsolidated pyroclastic material produced by explosive eruptions is exposed to intense rainfall, often occurring for years to decades after the initial eruptive activity. Previous studies have shown that secondary lahar initiation is a function of rainfall parameters, source material characteristics and time since eruptive activity. In this study, probabilistic rain-triggered lahar forecasting models are developed using the lahar occurrence and rainfall record of the Belham River valley at the Soufrière Hills volcano (SHV), Montserrat, collected between April 2010 and April 2012. In addition to the use of peak rainfall intensity (PRI) as a base forecasting parameter, considerations for the effects of rainfall seasonality and catchment evolution upon the initiation of rain-triggered lahars and the predictability of lahar generation are also incorporated into these models. Lahar probability increases with peak 1 h rainfall intensity throughout the 2-year dataset and is higher under given rainfall conditions in year 1 than year 2. The probability of lahars is also enhanced during the wet season, when large-scale synoptic weather systems (including tropical cyclones) are more common and antecedent rainfall and thus levels of deposit saturation are typically increased. The incorporation of antecedent conditions and catchment evolution into logistic-regression-based rain-triggered lahar probability estimation models is shown to enhance model performance and displays the potential for successful real-time prediction of lahars, even in areas featuring strongly seasonal climates and temporal catchment recovery.
Experimental study of embankment breach based on its construction parameters
Authors: Dhiman Sachin , Charan Patra Kanhu
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Laboratory data obtained from the overtopping failure of eight cohesive embankments built with different construction parameters are presented in this paper. Experiments were performed in two phases. Five experiments under phase 1 were carried out in small width flume having dimension viz. 17 m long, 0.6 m wide and 0.6 m high. In phase 2, three experiments were performed on large width flume having dimensions viz. 13 m long, 1.75 m wide and 0.5 m high. The construction parameters which were varied in embankments are compaction effort, compaction moisture content, and the moisture content at the time of failure. Phase 1 investigate the effect of compaction effort and compaction moisture content on breach parameters. As the water content of clay decreases or increases, the soil shrinks or swells which can cause damage ranging from small hairline cracks to severe structural distress. The sudden rise of water level in the reservoir due to heavy rain will cause rushing of water through cracks and if water overtopped the embankment will lead to quick failure. An attempt was made in phase 2 to investigate the effects on breach evolution when the embankments were air dried to reduce its moisture content and to develop cracks. The final breach shape and parameters noted in experiments show remarkable change for each dam failure. In the remainder of this paper, we report results of a set of small and large scale dam-overtopping experiments that were designed to; (1) investigate the effect of changing compaction effort and moisture content of the headcut migration, breach parameters, and flood hydrograph; (2) assess the overtopping behaviour of embankments when they are air dried for a long time.

Examinamos la decoración encargada por Velázquez a Italia con destino al Salón de los Espejos del Alcázar en la década de 1650 y desvelamos cómo los famosos leones fueron ideados con cornucopias sobre las cabezas para que sirvieran de hacheros antes de tener que adaptarlos como pies para las mesas. Estando ya en Madrid, la llegada de unos vasos de pórfido provocó que se pidieran tableros de esta materia para los bufetes. El cambio de función de los leones dejó espacio en las chimeneas para morillos de los cuatro Elementos solicitados a Algardi por duplicado, un encargo cuyas circunstancias aclaramos, así como su estilo e iconografía, y demostramos que se hizo otro juego de morillos similar aún en vida del sevillano.

Reply to the Critics of Russian Radical 2.0: Defining Issues
Authors: Bissell Roger E.
Published: December 2017

The author assures readers that Chris Matthew Sciabarra has met all Aristotelian (if not Objectivist) requirements in full, providing not one but two definitions of “dialectics,” which, as the art of context-keeping, is indeed an essential part of Ayn Rand's philosophical method. He shows how Sciabarra's definitional process compares quite favorably in terms of timeliness, transparency, and benevolence to that of Rand and other Objectivists, and notes that Sciabarra's overriding concern, notwithstanding his obvious great respect for Rand's substantive philosophical achievements, has been to identify and clarify the methods she and other thinkers have used to profound benefit.

The utility of KRAS mutation analysis in differentiating a lung primary mucinous carcinoma from a metastatic colorectal mucinous carcinoma
Authors: Soliman Mahmoud L. , Yang Shi , Lee John Cho
Published: December 2017

A 58-year old male has a past medical history of a rectal low-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma with a KRAS codon 12/13 mutation (GGT>GAT), for which he received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation.  Five months after diagnosis, the patient underwent a low anterior resection showing persistent tumor with the pathological staging being (ypT3, ypN0, ypMx).  Six months after surgery, follow-up PET scan showed two right upper lung nodules measuring 1.0 and 1.8 cm.  Subsequent video-assisted thoracic surgery with a lung wedge resection revealed two tumors: a mucinous adenocarcinoma and an acinar-predominant adenocarcinoma.  The mucinous adenocarcinoma showed similar cytologic features as the rectal tumor; however, it showed more of a lepidic pattern.  The immunohictochemical profile of the lung mucinous adenocarcinoma was positive CK7 (cytoplasmic), negative CK20, TTF1, napsin-A, and CDX2.  KRAS codon 12/13 analysis also showed a mutation in the lung, however it was different compared to the previous rectal tumor and showed a GGT>AGT mutation.  The acinar adenocarcinoma had a wild-type KRAS.  In this case, we favored a primary lung mucinous carcinoma over a metastasis from the rectum based on the lepidic morphology, CK20 negativity and differing KRAS codon 12 mutations.  A year after the resection of the lung adenocarcinomas, the patient presented with dyspnea and abnormal liver functions.  Abdominal US and MRI revealed multiple liver lesions (up to 1.9 cm).  Core liver biopsies showed a poorly-differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma with positive CK7 (cytoplasmic) and negative CK20, TTF-1, napsin-A, CDX2 and HSA.  KRAS codon 12/13 analysis also showed a mutation GGT>AGT, similar to that of the lung mucinous adenocarcinoma.  The immunohistochemical profile and the KRAS mutation sequence of the hepatic tumor suggests a metastasis from the lung primary and corroborates the earlier premise that the lung tumor is distinct from the rectal one.  In conclusion, in the unusual circumstance of a lung mucinous adenocarcinoma in a patient with established gastrointestinal mucinous primary, KRAS mutation analysis sequencing could help distinguish whether the lung mucinous is a primary tumor or metastasis from colorectal origin.
Communication and burden in dementia care
Authors: Watson Barbara J.
Published: December 2017

This paper provides an integrated discussion of the literature that addresses the effect of communication strategies on dementia care and caregiver burden. With the complexity and multiple symptoms associated with dementia, caregivers are exposed to increased burden which can affect their own health and wellbeing. Communication has been found to be a key to reducing burden and improving the quality of life for the person with dementia (PWD) and their caregiver. The literature review examines current and previous literature in order to acknowledge and synthesize the existing work done, and to identify areas for future research. The material was drawn from three databases; the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed and PsycINFO. The literature search was restricted to relevant studies published in English and available through electronic sources between 2000 and 2017. The search yielded 22 studies. Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies focused on the use of communication strategies within the context of caregiver burden in dementia care. The qualitative and quantitative studies addressed verbal and nonverbal techniques used to guide caregivers in their communication with PWD and to decrease caregiver burden. The results of the review illustrate the importance of using effective communication techniques for PWD. It shows that using specific strategies improves relationships between caregivers and PWD and effective communication techniques reduce caregiver burden. The importance and significance of these findings indicate the need for further research in the effects that communication have on dementia and caregiver burden.

To determine the effects of environment and genotypic differences on tuber yield and other related traits, 12 genotypes comprising 9 improved elite clones, two local landraces and 1 improved and released variety were evaluated for tuber yield, response to yam mosaic virus and leaf spot diseases at 16 growing environments. The multi-environment trials were conducted using randomized complete-block design with three blocks for four years in four representative agro-ecological zones (Atebubu, Kintampo, Ejura and Fumesua) in Ghana. The objective was to select high and stable yielding varieties for release as varieties in Ghana. The multi-environment data for the trials collected were subjected to combine analyses of variance using the ANOVA procedure of Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research (STAR) to determine the magnitude of the main effects and interactions. Genotype main effect and genotype by environment interaction effect (GGE) model was used to dissect the genotype by environment interaction (GEI) using the GGE biplot software (GGE biplot, 2007). GGE biplots analysis was applied for visual examination of the GEI pattern in the data set. A highly significant effects (P < 0.001) for Genotype (G), environment (E) and genotype by environment (GEI) interaction were occurred in the data set for highly significant for all the traits studied (P < 0.001), indicating genetic variability between genotypes by changing environments. This indicated changes in ranking order of the genotype performances across the test environments. The partitioning of the GGE effect for tuber yield through in GGE biplot analysis model showed that PC1 and PC2 accounted for 40.47.0% and 19.89.0% of the variation GGE sum of squares respectively for tuber yield, respectively explaining a total of 60.36% variation. Mankrong Pona was the most stable and high yielding (closest to the ideal genotype) followed by TDr95/19177. Genotypes TDr00/02472, TDr00/00539 and TDr98/00933 are desirable genotypes for further assessment on culinary characteristics and end-user assessment for release as varieties. All the four locations used for the study were highly relevant for research and development of yams. Ejura and Fumesua were the most discriminating and most representative for YMV respectively. In terms of yield, Kintampo environment was the most discriminating and Fumesua and Atebubu were the closest to ideal environment for evaluating yield.

The objectives of the present work were to evaluate the effects caused by defoliation at different levels in the corn crop, evaluating the agronomic characteristics and yield of maize. The experiment was conducted in the period from September to January, harvest 2016/2017. The experimental design was a randomized block, consisting of five treatments composed of different levels of defoliation of corn plants with four replicates: T1: Witness, without defoliation of plants; T2: Removal of all leaves of the plant; T3: leaves only in the lower third of the plant; T4: Leaves only in the middle third of the plant; T5: Leaves only in the upper third of the plant. Defoliation procedures were performed at the beginning of the VT reproductive stage of maize. The following parameters were evaluated: Spike insertion height; Diameter of the stem; Ear length; Spike diameter; Number of rows of grains on the spike; Number of grains in row; Final Productivity; Weight of a thousand seeds. The results were significant in almost all analyzed variables, where superior results were obtained by the T1 control, followed by T4. It was concluded that the best results were obtained by the control in which there was no defoliation, but there was no significant difference with the results obtained by the treatment in which there were only leaves in the middle third of the plant. From these results it can be affirmed the great importance of the median leaves above and below the spike insertion.

Published: December 2017

The article concerns the issues of the scope of optimization of the gas turbine jet engine. These issues include limiting the weight and number of engine parts. One way to reduce the weight and number of components, including the compressor assembly, is to use the BLISK's replacement construction. The replacement construction should meet the strength requirement and the vibration spectrum as well. The paper presents
a comparative analysis of the influence of rotational speed on the characters and the vibration frequency of the single rotor stage of the high pressure compressor. The analysis was carried out for two different design solutions of the blade-disk connection: the classical and integral. The comparative analysis focused on three important from the point of view of operation, the engine operating ranges: work on the ground (idle) and work during take-off and climb the aircraft.

Where is a serious research on that?If the equality of outcome (income) was a communist egalitarian dogma, is the belief in equality of opportunity a tangible reality offered to Eastern Europe or just a deceiving utopia sold to the conquered, plundered, ridiculed and cannibalized countries in transition?

Bosanskohercegovacka likovna scena predstavlja kompleksan poligon na kojem se susrecu raznovrsne umjetnickepoetike. U visedecenijskom stasavanju i zrenju, od osnivanja prvih udruzenja, likovnih kolonija, akademija i sponta- nih okupljanja umjetnika, oformljeno je jedno kvalitativno jezgro koje svjedoci o postojanju referentnog materijala kojim bi se ova sredina priklonila medu- narodnoj likovnoj sceni.Ubogatom i jos uvijeknedovoljno obradenom i valorizovanom opusu, kako udruzenja, tako ipojedinacnog djelovanja umjetnika, moguce je naparcijalnim primjerima znacajnih kulturnih manifestacija steci barem informativan uvid u razvoj novije bosanskohercegovacke likovne scene.U tekstu pod naslovom „Buducnost je obiljezena prosloscu“ (ili sjecanje i zaborav), koji je nastao povodom jubileja 20-togodisnjice kulturne manifesta- cije „Zenicko proljece“, na jedan specifican nacin se ukazuje ( kroz stvarastvo cetiri umjetnika ), na zanimljiv pristup umjetnickim izrazima u jednoj sredini koja je istovremeno integralni dio bosanskohercegovacke likovne scene, a isto- vremeno vanredno posebna i upucena ka internacionalnom likovnom jeziku.
ESTETIKA TELEVIZIJE I NJEN MANIPULATIVNI UTICAJ NA DRUSTVO
Authors: Aćimović Danica
Published: December 2017

Nasa percepcija sveta jeprimarno medijskiposredovana i to nije reflekto- vano samo krozprizmu estetickih kategorija, vec je obracanje coveku, namera da se nesto kaze o Ijudskom bicu, dovela do stilizovanog i tehnicki sve savrsenijeg jezika medija. Misli se ovde na elektronske medije, najpre na televiziju kao najprisutniji medij masovne komunikacije. Svaka TV emisija treba da bude razumljiva sto siroj populaciji. Svojom strukturom mora ici ovako: da iskaz bude postupno dat, da ima logicno svrstane aspekte, da se obraca i osvaja senzibilitetom, da pokrece na razmisljanje, da preciznoprovocira emocije, da navodi naprepoznatljive asocijacije. Estetika jepre svega pitanje uma. Pita- nje etike u funkciji estetike, i njena upotreba u TVemitovanju, uvek se iznova uspostavlja. Ukoliko je namera postena i ne izneverava pozitivni, humani pristup - bice opravdano izvesno manipulisanje slikom i komentarom. Ovaj rad donosi primere i analizu uslovljenu drustvenim konsenzusom u Srbiji.

Pred skolstvo se namecu novi zahtjevi u cilju podizanja kvaliteta obrazov- nog i nastavnogprocesa i pripremanja ucenika za ulogu koju ce imati u bu- ducnosti. Informacione tehnologije (IT) imaju ulogu novih sredstva i poma- gala u nastavi koja prikazuju multimedijalne elektronske nastavne materijale, kao zamjenu za klasicna sredstva ipomagala. U radu ce ukratko biti opisani razliciti oblici sredstava i multimedijalnih elektronskih materi- jala i njihove mogucnosti za primjenu u nastavi, kao i drugi nacini upotrebe racunara u srednjim skolama Republike Srpske. Pod pretpostavkom da se u srednjim skolama Republike Srpske neprati u dovoljnoj mjeriprimjena infor- maciono tehnologija u nastavi, kao konkretne drustvenepotrebe, sprovedeno je istrazivanje u 90 srednjih skola Republike Srpske, sa ciljem da se dode do podataka o primjeni e-sistema u nastavnom procesu. Istrazivanje je sprovedeno pomocu on-line ankete, a anketni upitnikse sastojao od dva dijela:pomocu prvog dijela procjenjuje se stepen primjene e-sistema na osnovu brze ocjene veb lokacije, a pomocu drugog dijela procjenjuje se stanje implementacije e- -sistema na osnovu odgovora menadzmenta skole o kratkorocnim i dugorocnim planovima u vezi razvoja i podrske e-sistema.Cilj rada je da se sa jednog novog, drugacijeg stanovista sagleda proble- matika primjene informacionih tehnologija u nastavi, te da se predloze konkretne mjere koje cepomoci da se e-sistemi implementiraju i koriste u srednjim skolama Republike Srpske.
VAZNOST ETIKE I DRUSTVENE ODGOVORNOSTI U MALIM I SREDNJIM PREDUZECIMA
Authors: Ćatić-Kajtazović Elvira
Published: December 2017

Osnovni cilj ovog rada bio je istraziti i analizirati vaznost etike i drustvene odgovornosti u bosanskohercegovackim malim i srednjim preduzecima, i to sa stanovista potrosaca tih preduzeca. U tu svrhu kreirana je skala u kojoj su potrosaci ocjenjivali vaznost pojedinih aktivnosti etike i drustvene odgovornosti u malim i srednjim preduzecima. Prikupljanje primarnih podataka se vrsilo tehnikom anketnog upitnika. Psihometrijske karakteristike skale su ispi- tane pomocu istrazivacke faktorske analize i analize pouzdanosti. Faktorska analiza je formirala dvije dimenzije ove skale. Pomocu t-testa i jednofaktorske univarijantne analize varijanse utvrden je uticaj intenziteta vjerskog uvjerenja, roditeljstva i bracnog statusa potrosaca na njihovu procjenu vaznosti etike i drustvene odgovornosti. U okviru diskusije prezentirana su ogranicenja u istrazivanju, doprinosi istrazivanja i upute za buduca istrazivanja.
ZASTITA CIVILA U ORUZANIM SUKOBIMA - ANALIZA PROPISA I DEFINICIJA PROBLEMA
Authors: Matić Martina , Lugonja Žulj Ivana
Published: December 2017

Znanost medunarodnog humanitarnogprava nikada u povijesti nije bila razvijenija od one koju danas poznajemo, ali civili, kao kolateralne zrtve, i dalje snose najveceposljedice oruzanih sukoba. Dok u 21. stoljecu vecina oru- zanih sukoba ima unutarnji; nemedunarodni karakter, apsurdno je ali istinito, da je vecina obicajnih i kodificiranih pravila iz ove materije formalno primje- njiva samo na medunarodne sukobe. Medutim, osobama koje ne sudjeluju u neprijateljstvima nije bitna kvalifikacija sukoba u kojem su se zatekli. Bitan im je raspon zastite koja ce im biti pruzena za iste posljedice koje bez svoje krivn- je trpe. Predmet istrazivanja bio je utvrditi stupanj zastite civila u svim kvali- ficiranim oruzanim sukobima, odnosno ukazati na razlicitosti u zastiti, sto je znanstvenim metodama deskripcije, sinteze i analize, ovim radom dokazano. U clanku jeprikazan polozaj i stupanj zastite civila u medunarodnim oruzanim sukobima, polozaj civila u nemedunarodnim oruzanim sukobima, razlicitosti u tim zastitama, a citateljima jeponuden i sazetprikaz„pravnih praznina“ u odredbama cetiriju Zenevskih konvencija o zastiti zrtava rata od 12.08.1949. godine i triju Dopunskih protokola uz Zenevske konvencije iz 1977. i 2005. godine. U zakljucku autori iznose konstataciju kako zastita civila u oruzanim sukobima nije konacno zajamcena konvencijskim odredbama, sto rezultira teskimposljedicama upraksi te ukazuju napotrebu dodatnihpojasnjenja skure definicije civila u nemedunarodnim oruzanim sukobima. Unifikacija pravila medunarodnog humanitarnog prava je, prema autorima, conditio sine qua non.

Authors: Aleksić Ivana
Published: December 2017

Ovaj rad se bavi pitanjem savremenog covjeka u odnosu na svijet koji ga okruzuje predstavljenim u trilogiji Greama Grina - „Brajtonska stijena“ (Brighton Rock, 1938), „Moc i slava“ (Power and the Glory, 1940) i „Sustina stvari“ (The Heart of the Matter, 1948). Glavni fokus je na pojedincu naspram dru- stvenih i religijskih normi koje su u Grinlendu - svijetu koji Grin stvara - uvi- jek suprotstavljene. Gdje i kako pojedinac pronalazi prostor za licni razvoj i djelovanje, kako uspijeva ili ne uspijeva da pomiri sebe kao vjernika i pripa- dnika drustvene zajednice, u kojoj mjeri u svom djelovanju ostaje vjeran sebi, da li je uslovljeni covjek buducnost koja nas ceka, gdje je i ko nudi spas pitanja su na koja ce ovaj rad pokusati da ponudi odgovor.

From Nation to Linguistic Community
Authors: Goodfriend Joyce D.
Published: December 2017

This chapter examines the adaptive strategies employed by ordinary Dutch New Yorkers to dispute the elite's cultural authority. English polite culture emerged in early eighteenth-century New York City and was embraced by high-ranking Dutch and French families. This fostered the impression that the values of the elite were unanimously endorsed by those lower down on the social scale. While the ambitious were apt to emulate models of gentility in hopes of inching their way across the cultural threshold, others, particularly non-English artisans and laborers, rejected the gentry's cultural directives. This chapter considers how New Yorkers of differing cultural orientations clashed over the issue of language used in worship. It shows that the city's ordinary Dutch acted to safeguard their native tongue by invigorating Dutch print culture and defending Dutch-language worship in the Dutch Reformed Church.
“Master of the House”?
Authors: Goodfriend Joyce D.
Published: December 2017

This chapter examines the underlying tension in relationships predicated on the gendered distribution of cultural power by focusing on the actions of artisans' wives. Implicit in the concept of the hierarchical household was a corresponding set of cultural expectations for wives, servants, and slaves. Such expectations, articulated most fully for gentlemen's wives but applicable across city households, were rooted in the notion that dependents were obliged to submit to the will of the master of the house and embrace his values without question. By analyzing the experiences of wives, servants, and slaves as they interacted with the propertied white men who defined the terms of their existence, this chapter reveals the many different ways that dependents attained a measure of autonomy in their lives. It also brings to light the vulnerability of New York City's patriarchs to pressure from their dependents.
Attached to the Household
Authors: Goodfriend Joyce D.
Published: December 2017

This chapter examines the options available to enslaved domestic workers who were denied autonomy and the sanctity of family. Enslaved New Yorkers' struggles against the indignities intrinsic to their condition go beyond collective resistance. Defiance on the part of slaves consisted of furtive actions as well as grand gestures. It was in the crucible of the household, where slaves and masters negotiated various issues, that slaves inched toward autonomy and masters brushed against the boundaries of white privilege. This chapter considers how masters limited enslaved New Yorkers' chances to form families by imposing constraints on parenthood as well as marriage. It also explains how the appropriation of Christian values by enslaved converts opened a new front in the household contest over cultural authority.
Sabotaging the Civilizers
Authors: Goodfriend Joyce D.
Published: December 2017

This chapter examines how lowly city dwellers confounded their purported benefactors, for example, by violating cardinal points of civility, indulging their appetites at taverns and brothels, or intruding into the exclusive spaces of the well-to-do. Many urban New Yorkers behaved in ways that were contrary to elite expectations and in so doing risked sanctions from those who controlled important resources. Poor people tended to transgress the rules set by gentlemen and engage in immoral behavior. In precarious circumstances, they perpetually did what was necessary to stay afloat, even if it meant flouting the Christian-based moral standards upheld by the elite. This chapter considers how people disdained as nonentities in eighteenth-century New York City, including blacks and prostitutes, contested the dominion of the city's gentlemen and thus diminished the elite's cultural authority.
Conclusion
Authors: Goodfriend Joyce D.
Published: December 2017

This book has examined how eighteenth-century New Yorkers, some of more credible social standing than others, challenged the standards touted by the urban elite. Many of those locked in subservient roles expressed their feelings spontaneously, without commentary. Wives, servants, and slaves rebelled against the restrictions that defined their lives and defied the rules that household heads wanted them to follow. Artisans debated substantive issues with members of the elite in the religious setting, and in so doing presented themselves as legitimate adversaries to the high-ranking men who governed church affairs. This conclusion discusses the ramifications of the small-scale cultural confrontations between New York City's commoners and gentlemen as the war of words between Americans and Britons escalated during the years leading up to the American Revolution.
