Dueling Models of Desire
Authors: Huot Sylvia
Published: May 2023

The focus of this essay is on two of the most prolific and high-profile poets of dits amoureux, Guillaume de Machaut and Jean Froissart, and their reception of a particular feature of the Rose-inspired tradition: the fusion and interaction of Ovidian and Boethian perspectives on ‘having it all within yourself’ as cause for either despair or joy. The philosophical doctrine of renouncing Fortune and finding solace in wisdom and self-knowledge will lead to intellectual insight, spiritual serenity, and learned poetry. It may even assist in the interpretation of erotic dreams. When it comes to emotional and bodily desire for intimate companionship and sexual fulfilment, however, tranquil renunciation is more problematic. Moreover, in the realm of Nature, geared to procreation and the furthering of lineage, sexual liaison with another person is the only viable option. This paradox, ever-present in the Rose, continues to inform the tradition of the dit amoureux largely inspired by that poem. True to their oneiric status, the dits present a kaleidoscopically shifting pastiche of courtly, Ovidian, and philosophical perspectives on the central dilemmas and paradoxes of love, desire, fantasy, and art.
Glossing the “Text” of Love
Authors: Schneider Christian
Published: May 2023

The chapter shows that the poetics of Middle High German Minnereden conceive of love as a textual phenomenon and communicative gesture. In his strophic hunting allegory Die Jagd, Hadamar applies the various and multi-leveled registers of “glossing love” to the composition of the autodiegetic first-person speaker that appears as experiencing and as (retrospectively) reflecting “I”; moving back and forth between the (narrative) event level of the allegory and its (discursive) level of meaning. Metaleptical structures break up the narrative contours of the “I” in the text and render it a template for any “I” and its, potentially indefinite, process of self-experience. The first-person speaker is thus not only a narrational mediator or enunciating “I” but a performative “I” whose speaking in the present moment implies the very act of loving ‒ as a potentially never-ending textual performance.

Islands and Archipelagos
Authors: Lahr-Vivaz Elena
Published: May 2023

Chapter One establishes the theoretical framework for the project and situates the works analysed both culturally and sociohistorically. The chapter offers a succinct summary of recent events in Cuban history and details how space has long been considered central to the identity of Cuba, a nation whose population is often seen as sharply divided along political and geographical lines. The chapter also provides an overview of existing research on Cuba as island and diaspora, and theorizes the archipelago as a critical term used both materially and metaphorically in the book.
Artistic Collaborations from Jaruco to Habana
Authors: Lahr-Vivaz Elena
Published: May 2023

Chapter Three shows how poets Ricardo Alberto Pérez and Ramón Hondal collaborate with artists to communicate with a wider, archipelagic public. Pérez’s ¿Para qué el cine? [For What Purpose Cinema?] (2010) is a collaborative venture with artist Ezequiel Suárez that offers readers two texts within one, with underlined words in each poem offering a second possible reading. Hondal’s Scratch (2018), additionally, signals the importance of music in forging transnational, archipelagic ties, while his collaboration with artist Léster Álvarez highlights the myriad ways in which books do (and do not) circulate throughout the arcubiélago. Mixing media in these ways, Pérez and Hondal demonstrate the ongoing need for a transnational, archipelagic space. The chapter also includes a discussion of Hondal’s Diálogos [Dialogues] (2014) and Pérez’s “Recital porcino” [Porcine Recital] (2010).
Blogging on (and Beyond) the Palenque
Authors: Lahr-Vivaz Elena
Published: May 2023

Chapter Four continues the discussion of how Cuban poets craft alternate spaces of identities for themselves and their readers through an analysis of the blog “Del Palenque … y para …” [“From the Runaway Slave Settlement … for/toward …”], active from 2007 to 2014. In this blog, the Afro-Cuban poets associated with the “Palenque” group craft a space that supersedes racial categorizations at the same time that it underscores their existence. The difficulties of navigating race and identity in Cuba are highlighted not only in the blog, but also in the controversy that resulted from the publication of Palenque poet Roberto Zurbano’s polemic 2013 New York Times op-ed, “For Blacks in Cuba, the Revolution Has Not Yet Begun.” The chapter juxtaposes the blog alongside the firestorm that followed Zurbano’s op-ed to signal the depths of the troubled waters that surround race in a nation that has long maintained its color-blindness; and traces the ties between the virtual Palenque and physical spaces such as book fairs and parties, where poets gather in Havana to celebrate their birthdays.
A CNN-Based Novel Approach for Classification of Sacral Hiatus with GAN-Powered Tabular Data Set
Authors: Kilic Ferhat , Korkmaz Murat , Er Orhan , Altin Cemil
Published: May 2023

Caudal epidural anaesthesia is usually the most well-known technique in obstetrics to deal with chronic back pain. Due to variations in the shape and size of the sacral hiatus (SH), its classification is a crucial and challenging task. Clinically, it is required in trauma, where surgeons must make fast and correct selections. Past studies have focused on morphometric and statistical analysis to classify it. Therefore, it is vital to automatically and accurately classify SH types through deep learning methods. To this end, we proposed the Multi-Task Process (MTP), a novel classification approach to classify the SH MTP that initially uses a small medical tabular data set obtained by manual feature extraction on computed tomography scans of the sacrums. Second, it augments the data set synthetically through a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). In addition, it adapts a two-dimensional (2D) embedding algorithm to convert tabular features into images. Finally, it feeds images into Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The application of MTP to six CNN models achieved remarkable classification success rates of approximately 90 % to 93 %. The proposed MTP approach eliminates the small medical tabular data problem that results in bone classification on deep models.
Knowledge of Intergenerational Contact to Combat Ageism towards Older People
Authors: Nga Lai Kwong Alice
Published: May 2023

Among the multi-dimensional social aspects of aging, intergenerational contacts and relationships between older and younger people will be the focus of this chapter. Underpinned by a study that sought to address and reduce ageism, this chapter discusses the respective roles of direct and indirect intergenerational contacts and their associations with the attitude and prosocial behavior of younger people towards older people. This chapter aims to provide initial evidence about the related processes, mechanisms and relationships involving the older individuals and young people in our society. Valuable insights and synergistic efforts will be provided in how the governments, schools, private and community groups, and the media will all have an integral part to play in applying the knowledge of intergenerational contact to combat ageism towards older people. Future research is needed to better integrate the processes, mechanisms and changing relationships between generations to serve the aging population of Hong Kong.

She grew up in fear, afraid to tell her mother when she’d compound-fractured her elbow, worried she’d be told to get a switch off the front tree for the hassle and cost of a doctor’s visit. She slept on the broken arm until her mother discovered the blood in her bed....

The South Atlantic War 1982
Authors: Owen Robert C. , Paget Steven
Published: May 2023

A comparative study of the escalatory calculi of Britain and Argentina. The dictators in power in Argentina initiated the war to prop up their weakening domestic political situation and in the unfounded hope that Britain would not fight. Domestic political concerns and self-interests had minimal influence on British decision making, which tended to reflect principals of sovereignty and realistic military assessments. Militarily far more capable than the Argentine's, the British nevertheless restricted their operations to retaking lost territories and eschewed attacks on the Argentine mainland that may have reenergized domestic support for the war and shifted the balance of world opinion against them.
Escalation Management in Practice
Authors: Morgan Forrest E. , Owen Robert C.
Published: May 2023

This chapter summarizes the implications of the case studies for escalation and escalation management. It validates the going-in expectation that escalatory decisions would reflect complex webs of cultural, geographic, political, technological, and military considerations in different ways in different contexts. But, in general, this section finds that these considerations often can be assessed before and during peer-on-peer air wars, and these assessments can enable opponents to reduce the likelihood that their actions will cause unexpected and undesired escalations by their enemies. The key to managing escalation will be to avoid tripping the escalatory triggers of one's enemies, rather than to rely on increasing force to dissuade them from responding with their own escalatory actions.

African Americans in the United States from the Civil War to the Present
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

With the end of the American Civil War, freedom came to approximately 4.5 million former enslaved Black Americans. Freedom meant that families could stay together. It meant an end to sexual exploitation and physical abuse. It meant learning how to read and write. It meant being able to organize churches. It meant being able to move about freely without asking permission. It meant owning land. It meant the ability to build a home. It meant hope. It meant dreaming beyond ones' current circumstances. But it also meant uncertainty. Freedom meant that you might not know when the next job would become available or where the next meal would come from. This chapter seeks to examine these themes in some details.
African Americans and Education
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Initially, African culture was traditionally oral, so, not surprisingly, illiterate enslaved Black Americans employed the tactic of eavesdropping on their masters in order to pick up the news of the day and other useful information. However, by the 1860s, when sources of funding were cut off, Black Americans took sole responsibility for the maintenance and operation of their education and communities' schools. But, with the end of the American Civil War, a small but important group of Black American leaders emerged who, with the support of the Republican Party, eagerly pushed for state-wide integrated public education systems. The task was difficult, unpopular, and, most importantly, expensive. With the end of the Reconstruction period, and the introduction of the doctrine of "separate but equal," Black American education, again, was in trouble. This situation did not change until the landmark 1954 United States Supreme Court Brown vs. Board of Education, Topeka, Kansas. However, the struggle for quality public (state funded) education for Black Americans and other minority groups continues. This chapter discusses these topics in much detail.
African American Religious Traditions
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

As the Civil War period came to an end, although the three African American religious themes or core concepts of "survival, preservation, and liberation" were still present in the emerging Black American church movement and the Black American religious experience, "preservation and liberation" dominated the next few centuries. Additionally, in a world where White Americans had so completely directed the daily lives and experiences of Black Americans, the church, along with family, had become the primary institution and safe-haven for most Black Americans. With more vigor and purpose, once the Civil War ended, Black Americans began to organize themselves as well as their own churches and communities. Such activities, especially the construction of numerous Black American churches and religious denominations, provided Black Americans with a spiritual shield to deal with the developing racism and Jim Crow atmosphere of the United States. This religious movement and its associated institutions also provided centers for social activities and helped to train a cadre of Black American activists and political leaders in subsequent decades. Black ministers also rapidly became the most influential people in the Black American community. This chapter discusses many of these topics and themes.
The African American Experience from a Sociological Perspective
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Black sociology includes the study topics such the family, the middle class, communities, groups, views, values, gender, race, and various other related subjects. This discipline also is focused on the study of the social reality and historical experience of persons of African descent both within the United States and globally. The need for such a perspective is based on the fact that in the United States society today, many times, still is divided and organized on racial lines. Also both racial ideology and social theory continue to determine many academic structures and social circles because of the same coherent ruling class of individuals, who have dominated the various board rooms and general power sections in the United States, continue to do so, even after various federal laws were enacted during and following the Modern Civil Rights Movement. As a result, it is very important for persons of color to have a discipline or an academic field of inquiry or perspective that rests on an African or Black American perspective, which includes the mental health of African Americans. This chapter highlights many of these themes.
Black Psychology
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Within the hotly-contested political climate of the Modern Civil Rights Movement, the field of Black/African American Psychology gradually emerged as a professional discipline. Linked to the development of Black/African American Studies programs, departments, divisions, and programs in higher education throughout the nation during late 1960s and early 1970s, Black Psychology emerged as result of the call of several African American psychologists, primarily Joseph L. White, to create a discipline of Psychology that placed the cultural heritage of persons of African descent at the center of any mental analysis of persons of color. As a result, Black Psychology became permanently linked to the development of all Black/African American Studies programs and curriculums as one of the main fields of study. Also crucial is that Black Psychology itself can be divided into various schools of thought that reflect the particular theoretical orientation and framework of its practitioner. While these various schools of thought are useful in the classification, description, and examination of this field of study, there is much overlapping among the various schools. This chapter explores these topics in some detail.
African Americans and Politics
Authors: Jackson Eric R.
Published: May 2023

Politics can be defined as the art of gaining, maintaining, and using power. Whether one employs a system-oriented approach or a study of revolutionary processes and structures, the focus still is on the concept of power, the process of its acquisition, as well as the maintenance and utilization of it. The essence of politics also can be denoted as power that can be defined as the social capacity of an individual, group, institution, or organization to impose its will, even in opposition, to another individual, group, institution, or organization. Historically, especially based on a Eurocentric perspective, politics (or political science) can be traced to the civilizations of Ancient Greece and Rome. Many scholars have proclaimed that "Plato" was the father of "political theory" and "Aristotle" was the parent of "political science." For Black Americans, the enslavement period, racial segregation, and the overall oppression of African Americans excluded most Black Americans from the political process and politics before the American Civil War. However, from the Reconstruction Era to the 1930s, a segment of the African American community did make great strides in the political arena in the United States. This chapter discusses both the highs and lows of this journey.
AKUT DİSPNEİK HASTALARDA PEFR ÖLÇÜMLERİNİN DEĞERİ
Authors: Ekinci Erhan , Filiz Ayten , Kepekçi Yalçın , Bulgur Didem , Dikensoy Öner
Published: May 2023

PEFR (Peak Expiratory Flow Rate) measurements were obtained from 49 patients with acute mild or severe dyspnea due to chronic obstructive lung disease or congestive heart failure. PEFR values were 250±73 L/min in congestive heart failure group and 112±36 L/min in chronic obstructive lung disease group There was a significant difference between the two groups (p<0.001). This result suggests that PEFR may be a usefull simple and cheap device to differanciate acute dyspnea of cardiac or pulmonary origins.
The Effect of Propofol on Histamine and Prostaglandine Like Activites at Serum in Rats.
Authors: Babacan Avni , Eren Sami , Karadenizli Yener , Ercan Sevim
Published: May 2023

In this experimental study propofol's hypotensive effect has been investigated. 30 rats were anesthetized and divided randomly into 3 groups. One group received propofol 10 mg/kg via the mesenteric vein while the other trasylol 100000 IU/kg intraperitoneally. The third group was for control. Serum PGE2 and histamine-like activities of the three groups were compared while carotid artery blood pressure was bein simultaneously recorded on the chimograph.
According to our results, histamine levels increased and PGE2 levels deçreased in the trasylol group whereas they both, increased in the propofol, group. Simultaneous b1ood pressure recordings showed a decrease of 30 %. There fore, it could be' stated that the increase of histamine which has a strong vasodilating action could contribute to the hypotensive effect -of propofol. However, it should not be forgotten that in rats, mesenteric vein bed is rich in mast cells. Moreover, the changes of PGE2 levels caused by propofol and trasylol activate the kallikrein-kinin system. These results also bring to mind a possibility of the role of kinin peptides in the hypotension created by propofol.
