Feminist international relations: some research agendas for a world in transition
Authors: Prügl Elisabeth , Tickner J. Ann
Published: July 2018

The article identifies some research agendas in feminist security studies and global political economy in a historical context of political instability, power transition and neoliberal capitalism. These encompass explanations of: the relationship between gender and violence, including their co-constitution; the promises and pitfalls of the United Nations’ women, peace and security agenda; the mapping of labour relations and expropriations in the aftermath of financial crisis and under a new phase of capitalist expansion; and the debate around the ‘neoliberalisation’ of feminism. The article affirms the continued importance of a critical stance and of asking feminist questions.
Advertising as Experimentation on Human Subjects
Authors: Piety Tamara R.
Published: July 2018

Abstract: Within the industry, it is an article of faith that consumers distrust advertising. One reason for that distrust may be that they fear being manipulated. Yet the debate about advertising and manipulation always seems to revolve around how much manipulation is really going on and whether consumer skepticism ensures that manipulation tactics will likely fail. But consumer skepticism is a flimsy defense in the face of decades of research, ever more sophisticated tactics of persuasion, billions of dollars spent, and data mining capabilities that permit increasingly detailed and granular analysis. The persuasion industry’s tactics are tested in the field, by trial and error. If a tactic works, we get more of it. In this practice we are all the guinea pigs. In a university setting, research on human subjects must be approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB process is supposed to ensure that research subjects’ participation is voluntary and informed, and that the potential benefits of the research outweigh the potential harms. Yet there is no IRB for our present-day marketing environment. What if it is bad for our health? More ominously still in light of recent events, what if it is bad for democracy?
Exemplary Codes of Ethics: A Rhetorical Criticism of WPP
Authors: Schauster Erin E. , Walker Tara , Duffy Margaret
Published: July 2018

Abstract: Exemplary organizations, people, and processes provide ethical guidance to members of the marketing communication industry, involving practices of advertising and public relations. Wire and Plastic Products (WPP) is a unique case due to its size, reputation, inclusion of advertising and public relations, and use of ethical codes. WPP, the world’s largest agency, is a British, multinational advertising and public relations company holding approximately 350 marcom companies worldwide with approximately $19 billion in revenue. This rhetorical criticism of the WPP Code of Business Conduct , and related website content, calls upon Kantian ethics to examine the symbols therein to determine if the Code could be viewed as exemplary for the industry. While the Code suggests that, overall, WPP companies have an obligation to behave honestly, with integrity and to respect others, for some subsidiaries, vague examples, hyperbole, and contradictions emerged.
Roundtable on Identities and Advertising: Part I
Authors: Chambers Jason P. , Davis Judy Foster , Espinosa Abraham , Imada Bill , Murray Ross , Rodríguez Clara , Ruffins Fath Davis , Thomas Kevin , Vyas Preeya , O’Barr William M.
Published: July 2018

Abstract: This roundtable brings together advertisers, media activists, and university professors to discuss how advertising considers various social categories and their intersections, including but not limited to age, class, religion, gender, nationality, race, and sexuality. Part I focuses on advertising’s understandings of identities and their intersections; advertising’s representation of identities; advertising’s place in defining and shaping various identities; how agencies and clients manage representations of identities; diverse perspectives in the advertising workplace; and risks and opportunities that come with diversifying identities included in advertising, media, and products.
Interview with Derek Robson
Authors: Robson Derek , Timke Edward
Published: July 2018

Abstract: In this interview, Derek Robson, President and Managing Partner at Goodby Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco, details his career trajectory and what it means to lead a technologically driven and strategic creative agency today. He discusses how advertising’s definitions have changed over time as well as how and why advertisers’ content needs to adhere to truths that resonate with people. In addition to explaining how agencies negotiate innovative ideas with their clients, Robson gives examples of how advertisers can use technology to approach social issues in creative ways. As a UK native, Derek explains what he sees as the key differences between American and British advertising before discussing the relationship between advertising and culture. He describes the Levi’s Flat Eric campaign, his favorite piece of work from his career. To conclude, Robson advises professors to inspire curiosity, students to seek out their passions, and advertisers to be more authentically inclusive.
Author Meets Critics: Liking Ike: Eisenhower, Advertising, and the Rise of Celebrity Politics
Authors: Blake David Haven , Brownell Kathryn , Jerry Claire , Postrel Virginia , Timke Edward
Published: July 2018

Abstract: This discussion centers on David Haven Blake’s book Liking Ike: Eisenhower, Advertising, and the Rise of Celebrity Politics (Oxford University Press, 2016), which examines the significance of how the successful presidential campaigns for Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower took advantage of television, advertising, spectacle, and the glamour of celebrity culture. Key topics of discussion include changes brought to American politics through Eisenhower’s campaigns in the 1950s; the role of advertising, glamour, celebrity, and spectacle in politics; parallels between Eisenhower’s campaigns and those of other US presidential candidates; the relevance of Eisenhower’s campaigns to today’s politics; and what politicians and the general public can learn from Eisenhower’s use of advertising and celebrity politics.
A Teaching Framework for Political Advertising
Authors: Franz Michael
Published: July 2018

Abstract: This article outlines a broad lesson plan for teaching about political advertising. The overarching question that structures the lesson is one students often ask about political advertising: “What makes a political ad effective?” The article first discusses the characteristics of ads that historically have been correlated with success, including attacks on opponents, a focus on public policies, and emotional appeals. The article then considers the perspective of voters. Are voters even open to being persuaded by political ads? Finally, the article discusses recent changes in political advertising, including more targeting of niche audiences and transitions to digital advertising. The article provides a list of resources for accessing ads, both in the United States and internationally.
Advertising in the Archives: National Museum of American History at The Smithsonian Institution
Authors: Fleckner John A. , Franz Kathleen
Published: July 2018

Abstract: The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History (NMAH) is featured in Advertising & Society Quarterly ’s first “Advertising in the Archives” article, which is an occasional piece about an advertising archive in the United States or elsewhere in the world. Structured as an interview of senior archivist John A. Fleckner by curator Kathleen Franz, the conversation details how the NMAH’s archives and material collections have developed, how materials are collected, why oral histories are important, why advertisements are ideal materials for museum exhibitions, how to use NMAH materials, the distinction between archivists and curators, and how the NMAH is moving into the largely digital future of collecting, preserving, and sharing advertising history.

The emerging alternative practices in Malaysian art (1990s–2015)
Authors: Abdullah Sarena
Published: July 2018

In the past fifteen to twenty years, the Malaysian market-oriented art world has evolved and expanded. Within this evolution and expansion, many interesting trajectories took place not in tandem with the promulgation of the Malaysian marketoriented art world. Thus, this article serves as an attempt to trace changes in the Malaysian art scene not based on the establishment of the ‘art world’, but the coexistence of alternative art practices since the late 1990s that occurred within the same period. Therefore, this article will discuss several alternative courses that surfaced since the establishment of several alternative art groups, collectives and spaces in Malaysia. These initiatives later led to various public programmes organized by such groups and spaces. Examples of the aforementioned public programmes include art talks, workshops, exhibitions, exploratory works and even art festivals in an effort to involve the public in community-engaged art projects.
Art is capital: Between cultural memory and the creative industry
Authors: Jurriëns Edwin
Published: July 2018

This article focuses on jeprut, a form of performance art from West Java, Indonesia, which addresses the interconnections and tensions between natural, sociocultural and political environments. The article explains how jeprut underlies the artistic ideas, media and practices of Bandung-based artist Tisna Sanjaya (b.1958), who was one of the pioneers of the genre in the mid-1980s. With his jeprut-inspired printmaking, painting, installation art, performance art, television drama and cultural centre, Sanjaya has addressed the interrelations between the destruction of the natural environment, cultural heritage, political authoritarianism and religious fundamentalism, among others. The author argues that the work of Sanjaya and other jeprut artists has promoted art, culture and spirituality as fundamental human capital. The artists provide a necessary complement and corrective to the rapid expansion of the creative industry in Indonesia, which is predominantly about capital in the narrow sense of finance and economic development. The article also describes how the creative activism has materialized in immediate results, such as the cleaning of a river, the preservation of a city forest and the protection of a cultural centre in Bandung.
The politics of aesthetics, space and community: An analysis of Same Old, Brand New by Cao Fei
Authors: Snels Jori
Published: July 2018

This article analyses the site-specific video artwork Same Old, Brand New by Chinese artist Cao Fei, which was exhibited in Hong Kong during Art Basel 2015. Set in the context of the Umbrella Revolution, it is argued that although the work by Chinese artists who became known in the 2000s may seem apolitical, artists such as Cao Fei have found subtle ways to create political art, to engage the public with politics, to disrupt political hegemony, to go beyond the boundaries of art institutions and to produce ungovernable communities that may evade identity politics. In its intervention in public space and its reworking of popular culture Same Old, Brand New has helped to temporarily constitute a politically engaged public. Using theories by Jacques Rancière, Henri Lefebvre and Jean-Luc Nancy, this study shows how Same Old, Brand New disrupts the distribution of the sensible and the hegemonic production of space and produces a sense of ‘being-in-common’.
Defying the division of labour: Lee Wan and the Made-In series
Authors: Lee Young Ji
Published: July 2018

This article examines the Korea-based artist Lee Wan (b. 1979) and his years-long Made-In series. Since 2012, Lee has travelled to Asian countries including Cambodia, Myanmar, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and China. There Lee produced a tablespoon of sugar, three grams of gold, a pair of chopsticks, straw shoes, a wig, some silk, rice and batik that represented the country and videotaped the time-consuming, thorny process of manufacturing each item from scratch. Lee’s trip to former colonies, mostly South East Asian countries, and his ensuing sojourns there denote not only the spatial movement of visiting the home of each commodity, but also the time-travelling project of tracing the historical origin of an internationally consumed local product to the colonial period of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century. While mapping globalizing Asia through this larger, totalizing vision, Lee’s site-specific, self-assigned mission to create each country’s specialty results in dissecting the structure of a global economy that is intertwined with local politics. This essay articulates how Lee Wan’s thought-provoking performance, or, process art suggests an alternative way of living under a global market economy that has heavily depended on cheap labour, mass production, the dominant mode of exchange, and specialization. My reading illustrates the ways in which Lee’s work addresses a criticism of globalization partly by undoing the pre-existing division of labour and pursuing inefficiency amid the rapidly expanding transnational circulation of capital.
Butoh’s subversive somatics
Authors: Nicely Megan V.
Published: July 2018

Once relatively unknown outside of Japan, today butoh is gaining recognition as a movement training and performance genre. In English-language literature it is frequently characterized as ‘somatic’. What kind of somatics does butoh propose? To answer this question, this article places butoh within a larger historical framework of dance and western somatics, noting shared values and points of conflict. The research draws from the author’s co-taught community class in San Francisco to identify several aspects of what the author calls ‘butoh-based somatics’: practice as self-training, choreographic forces and performance attention. The article concludes by posing that to understand butoh’s subversive appeal for dancers and others seeking social change, the practice must be adapted and kept in dialogue with specific locations and contexts.

A contemporary dance practice generating ad hoc dances: Inspired by and in conversation with Rosalind Crisp
Authors: Glaser Laura S.
Published: July 2018

Dance artist Rosalind Crisp has developed a practice called ‘choreographic improvisation’ and methods of working in which the sensorial body becomes the material for a dance created in the moment; i.e. ad hoc dances. This article discusses how Crisp’s approach is a fine example of the integration of somatic and artistic processes as well as the incorporation of making choreographic choices while dancing. Intrigued by the quality of the teaching and performance works by Crisp, the author describes the methodology of ‘choreographic improvisation’ that is constituent to both the practice in the studio and in performance. This method is set in context with practices from other contemporary dance artists. Crisp’s understanding of material and the process-based interactions of material within itself and the environment prompts the linking to a current philosophical thinking of New Materialism. Creating ad hoc dances is a dynamic process sustaining emerging creations.
Unsettling materials: Lively tensions in learning through ‘set materials’ in the dance technique class
Authors: Dryburgh Jamieson
Published: July 2018

An explorative engagement with learning through set materials in the dance technique class enables embodied knowledge. This qualitative dance research, framed through practitioner-led inquiry, reflects upon the experience of a deliberately unsettled process of bodily learning in the studio. Set materials in contemporary dance technique classes are considered through two intertwined strands of learning; exploration and embodiment. A series of ‘lively tensions’ are articulated through the student participant data that reveal the multidimensionality of dance technique practice. The pedagogical considerations and theoretical framing of what it means for set materials to enable rather than restrict dance student agency are discussed. The teacher/researcher reflects on how unsettling the process of learning in the studio might encourage dance students to more thoroughly engage with bodily inquiry. The voices of students as research participants, are quoted in order that their words articulate the nuances of the experience of learning in dance technique.
Employing dwelling to reconsider individual and collaborative relationships to pedagogical practice
Authors: Giddens Sara , Long Liz , Spencer Ruth
Published: July 2018

Three practitioner-researchers from the University of Central Lancashire begin to wrestle with how they might employ dwelling within their pedagogy. Weaving together images and texts from a diverse range of sources, they invite readers to consider how dwelling, as a practice, has become foregrounded in, and through, their research and professional practice, and how it might support and challenge teaching and learning within a higher education context. And how it might inform and empower new ways of working collaboratively and help us to enable and engage in a more useful and meaningful dialoguing process.
The Porous Body: Cultivating malleability in traditional dance training
Authors: Laberge-Côté Louis
Published: July 2018

Contemporary dance is constantly evolving. Its landscape has transformed and developed significantly over the past 30 years, slowly shifting from a repertoire company scene to a diverse freelance environment. In this idiosyncratic milieu, the breadth of skills that dancers need to master is constantly becoming more complex. Given that emerging contemporary dancers will be encountering the new reality of an increasingly heterogeneous freelance environment, how should training institutions best prepare students for this paradigm shift? To address this challenge, I began developing ‘The Porous Body’, a structure of feeling that promotes the practice of heightened physical and mental malleability by following four fundamental guiding principles: flow, playfulness, metaphor and paradox. Sourcing from my own performative, choreographic and pedagogical practices, and the work of dance artists, movement practitioners, philosophers and psychologists from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, I will formulate this method while sharing anecdotal feedback collected from dancers with whom I have recently experimented with this concept of physical and mental malleability.
Learning to dance in the twenty-first century: Skinner Releasing Technique as technology of becoming, within a new materialist frame
Authors: Le Quesne Lizzy
Published: July 2018

This article considers Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) within a frame of new materialist thinking and ethics, with particular regard to Rosi Braidotti’s posthumanist call for emancipated nomadic subjects to create sustainable futures in the anthropocene. I will draw parallels between this theory and SRT as a process of becoming through dance, uniquely placed to reposition and develop meaning, skills and knowledge within dance for the twenty-first century.
Self-somatic authority: Exploring the cultivation of somatic intelligence through a dialogic approach to self-reflection in dance technique learning
Authors: Rimmer-Piekarczyk Rachel
Published: July 2018

This article contemplates the notion of a ‘self-somatic authority’ by exploring the relationship between dialogue, self-reflection and the cultivation of somatic intelligence. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of dialogism, and specifically his concepts of ‘authoritative discourse’ and ‘internally persuasive discourse’, the author explores whether a dialogic approach to teaching release-based contemporary dance technique in higher education can enable learners to meaningfully reflect on their practice, subsequently leading to a stronger sense of somatic intelligence. To examine the efficacy of this pedagogical approach, responses from a focus group discussion conducted with a group of first year students who participated in a cycle of action research are examined; the teacher’s reflective journal notes are also analysed. Drawing on the data, the author proposes that a dialogic approach to nurturing self-reflection in the dance technique class constructs a particular kind of somatic-informed pedagogy that not only appears to facilitate ‘self-somatic authority’, but also presents unexpected challenges and contradictions.
A conversation with Gill Clarke
Authors: Reed Sara
Published: July 2018

In this interview, Gill Clarke discusses her role as a dance artist, her dance training and background and the influence that somatic practice had on her dancing, teaching and advocacy. The interview highlights the significant contribution that Gill made in exposing and sharing the potential and value of somatic informed dance education. I hope that it also adequately highlights the tremendous contribution that Gill’s work had on the development of independent dance in the United Kingdom and the organization which grew to support independent dance and dancers. Gill Clarke’s discovery of somatic practice changed her whole understanding of the dancing body and dance pedagogy and subsequently her influence on somatic informed dance education in the United Kingdom.
Hairdressing in space: Depiction of gender in science books for children
Authors: Caldwell Elizabeth F. , Wilbraham Susan Jane
Published: July 2018

Stereotypes in the media both reflect and perpetuate the notion that science is a masculine pursuit. The aim of the current study is to explore whether such stereotypes extend to imagery within children’s science books. To determine the extent of stereotypes in gender representation, both quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted. Results demonstrated that females were under-represented in images across the books surveyed. Analyses of images of adults demonstrated under-representation of women in both physics and mathematics books, but images of children showed no significant difference between genders. Analyses of the target age of the children’s books revealed that books targeted at older children contained fewer images of adult females. Qualitative visual analyses revealed that books about space exploration trivialized women’s expertise, diminished their perceived technical competence, failed to acknowledge their contribution or presence and represented them in a manner that suggested that they were passive, lower status and superficial. Books about science that are currently available to children in libraries are not balanced in terms of their representation of gender. More balanced imagery in children’s science books of women actively participating in scientific occupations would help to demonstrate that careers in these areas are meaningful, fulfilling and achievable for women.
Staging science on TV: Richard Hammond’s Invisible Worlds, Richard Hammond’s Miracles of Nature and Wild Weather with Richard Hammond
Authors: Morris Nigel
Published: July 2018

This article comprises two distinct parts. The first surveys the problems and aspirations associated with television representations of science. This historical overview contextualizes the second part, which extrapolates from textual analysis of three closely related, high-profile, peak-time BBC series. It seeks to demonstrate that, despite massive efforts and a shift in attitudes within the academy towards dissemination of knowledge over the last third of a century, many associated with initiatives in Public Understanding (or Awareness) of Science and Public Engagement in Science and Technology, there has been little progress in how scientific matters are represented. Examination of extracts from each series are used to argue that televised science draws upon the twin histories and discourses of the illustrated lecture and Victorian stage illusionism, each of which presented spectacle and sensationalism. Attention to the programmes’ construction and implicit informing ideologies reveals their divergence from the expository mode that they ostensibly claim to belong to. While many Public Understanding efforts appear to involve a long-standing hermetic debate between scientists and journalists predicated on outmoded communications theories, textual analysis demonstrates that relatively unsophisticated television studies approaches may yet offer worthwhile contributions.
Examining how scientists ‘do’ gender: An analysis of the representations of hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity on The Big Bang Theory
Authors: Blosser Emily
Published: July 2018

The television sitcom The Big Bang Theory (2007–present) portrays the lives of a group of highly intelligent but socially awkward scientists. The show consistently attracts an audience of approximately fifteen million viewers each week and thus offers a powerful opportunity to examine how scientists are represented in popular fiction. Drawing on sociological gender theories, this article examines episodes from the first seven seasons of the show to explore how it depicts scientists as individuals who fail to live up to standards of hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity. Implications of such imagery for public understandings of scientists and for issues of gender inequality are discussed.
‘As if eavesdropping on actual filming’: The origins of the wildlife making-of documentary genre
Authors: Gouyon Jean-Baptiste
Published: July 2018

The wildlife making-of documentary (MOD) genre has become a routine appendage to most prestige natural history series. However, the genre is a fairly recent one. The first attempt at producing a wildlife MOD was the half-hour long Unarmed Hunter in 1963. The first wildlife MOD accompanying a natural history programme was 1984’s The Making of the Living Planet. In between these two films, the televising of natural history became a profession revolving around the technical mastery of the filmmaking apparatus. Looking at the genesis of the wildlife MOD genre from the early 1960s to the early 1980s, this article examines how natural history broadcasters enroled science and scientists in their effort to carve a cultural space for the televising of natural history out of the one occupied by amateur natural history. In so doing, they promoted a definition of filmmaking as a means to produce original knowledge of the natural world.
Process over product: The 1990s United States hardcore and emo subcultures and DIY consumerism
Authors: Sklar Monica , Donahue Mary Kate
Published: July 2018

This research focuses on the hardcore punk scene in the mid-1990s’ United States and its clothing consumption experiences. Within the fashion cycle, various subcultures often consume and produce products in unique manners and timeframes and with assorted motives. Although many subcultures use a centralized retail space for scene development, hardcore did not; rather it produced and consumed the style utilizing the concepts of do-it-yourself (DIY) and bricolage. Qualitative mixed methods of data collection included literature research, social media discussions, open-ended survey participation, interviews and location visits. The results obtained indicate that for this subcultural community, the process to produce and consume was an integral part of meaning being imbued in the products.
‘Put on your boots and Harrington!’: The ordinariness of 1970s UK punk dress
Authors: Weiner Nathaniel
Published: July 2018

In 2013, the Metropolitan Museum hosted an exhibition of punk-inspired fashion entitled Punk: Chaos to Couture. The exhibition emphasized the ‘spectacular’ elements of the subculture, reflecting a narrative that dominates accounts of punk dress, whereby it is presented as a site of art school creativity and disjuncture with the past. This is an important aspect of punk dress, but photos of bands and audiences reveal that there was much more to British punk style in the 1970s than what was being sold on London’s King’s Road. Heeding calls to trouble the boundary between the spectacular and the ordinary in subculture studies, this article looks at the ordinariness of 1970s British punk dress, arguing that we should understand punk dress in terms of mass-market commodities, not just customization and designer fashion. Many of these commodities were worn by the skinheads who preceded punk, and this article explores this subcultural continuity by focusing on the role of the Dr. Marten boot and the Harrington jacket in first- and second-wave British punk dress. It does so through discussion of the Cockney Rejects, the 1979 BBC television dramatization of the Sham 69 album That’s Life and the Undertones.
From music to revolution: The semiotics of punk and cinematic symbolism in Sôgo Ishii’s Burst City
Authors: Toohey David
Published: July 2018

This article analyses how punk music and film influence each other as separate media when juxtaposed together in the Japanese director Sogo Ishii’s film Bakuretsu Toshi (Burst City) (1982). In particular, instead of conforming to the expected use of music in films to specify the appropriate mood or audience response, punk music goes against the expected meaning of Burst City as a youth rebellion film. This dissonance is placed within the context of surrealist collage symbolism in the punk subculture and similar cinematic ‘time-images’ which transform their original parts into instances where social and political systems cannot make sense. It is argued that this dissonance pushes both punk music and cinema outside of their expected roles as artistic media to influence people not to accept violent hierarchies and harmful industries such as nuclear power. At the same time, this cinematic evocation of the punk subculture is ambivalent because it remains mired in some of the clichés of 1980s cinematic genres and the prevailing homosocial gender relations in Asia. These limitations exist in Burst City’s critique of violence against women that only offers an implied possibility of positive roles for women in the Japanese punk scene.
An epistolary scene: ‘Post-industrial’ music in France in the 1980s
Authors: Broqua Christophe , Douris Vincent
Published: July 2018

A kinship links the industrial/post-industrial movement to the punk/post-punk movement, which is not so much linked to the musical content as to the social logics underlying the two genres. We show this here through the case of the French industrial/post-industrial music scene of the 1980s, which, although very rich, has never been studied, unlike the international scene. This article aims to understand what unites the artists who compose this movement, a movement despite the great diversity of musical styles that it covers. Questioning the conditions of possibility of this particular music scene, it shows that French industrial/post-industrial music formed a decentralized and internationalized ‘epistolary scene’.
‘It feels like summer in October’: A study of Gainesville’s Fest
Authors: Bernhard Ellen M.
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this article is to analyse the data collected from ten in-depth interviews with participants who attend Fest. Fest is a punk-centric music festival that has taken place in Gainesville, Florida since 2002 and draws fans from around the globe who attend to see over 300 punk bands perform in a dozen venues throughout the city. The literature applied to this study focused on the significance of music scenes and experience economies as they relate to Fest and the festival-attending experience. Interviews were conducted with participants who attend Fest regularly, or perform in bands that have played Fest in recent years. Data collected from these interviews confirmed participants’ motivations for attending the festival, while examining the specific characteristics of Fest that influence participants to return year after year. Participants also commented on the community-building aspect of Fest, which was often viewed as a significant incentive for participants who attend.

Hydrokinetic Energy Opportunity for Rural Electrification in Nigeria
Authors: Olatunji Ogunjuyigbe Ayodeji Samson , Raphael Ayodele Temitope , Yomi Ibitoye Tahir
Published: July 2018

This paper is part of the ongoing research by the Power, Energy, Machine and Drive (PEMD) research group of the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of Ibadan. The paper presents various sites with possible hydrokinetic energy potential in Nigeria with the aim of quantifying their energy potential for rural electrification application. Overview of hydrokinetic technology is also presented with the view of highlighting the opportunities and the challenges of the technology for rural electrification. A case study of using hydrokinetic turbine technology in meeting the energy demand of a proposed civic center in a remote community is demonstrated.  Some of the key findings revealed that Nigeria has many untapped hydrokinetic potential site and if adequately harnessed can improve the energy poverty and boost economic activities especially in the isolated and remote rural communities, where adequate river water resource is available. The total estimated untapped hydrokinetic energy potential in Nigeria is 111.15MW with the Northern part of the country having 68.18MW while the Southern part has 42.97MW. The case study shows that harnessing hydrokinetic energy of potential site is promising for rural electrification. This paper is important as it will serve as an initial requirement for optimal investment in hydrokinetic power development in Nigeria.Article History: Received November 16th 2017; Received in revised form April 7th 2018; Accepted April 15th 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Olatunji, O.A.S., Raphael, A.T. and Yomi, I.T.

Monitoring Ground Improvement Using the Seismic Dilatometer in Christchurch, New Zealand
Authors: Amoroso Sara , Rollins Kyle M. , Monaco Paola , Holtrigter Marco , Thorp Alan
Published: July 2018

This article illustrates the use of the seismic dilatometer test (SDMT) in combination with the piezocone test (CPTu) to monitor the effects of ground improvement by different techniques at seven test sites in Christchurch, New Zealand. The results of SDMTs carried out in treated soils and in adjacent natural soils are compared in order to assess the effectiveness of different ground improvement techniques (Rammed Aggregate Piers, Low Mobility Grout, Stone Columns, Deep Soil Mixing) aimed at reducing the liquefaction susceptibility. Moreover, the article presents the variation of significant parameters obtained from parallel SDMT and CPTu soundings in treated versus natural soils. SDMT and CPTu results are also used in combination to estimate the overconsolidation ratio and the at-rest lateral earth pressure coefficient (K0) before and after the treatment. The effectiveness of the different ground improvement techniques is also evaluated in terms of the variation of the before and after integral liquefaction vulnerability indicators, such as the liquefaction potential index and the liquefaction severity number, which are calculated using different methods based on CPTu, the DMT horizontal stress index (KD), and the shear wave velocity (VS) for a design earthquake. The results confirm that the DMT, as well as the CPTu, is sensitive to changes in stress/density in sands and silty sands and is, therefore, well suited to detecting improvements in these soils, while VS provides less evident results.

The relationship between the electrical properties and the degree of moisture saturation (DoS) in cement-based materials is a topic of interest with regard to material durability. In this article, an impedance-based approach is presented to characterize the electrical properties as a function of DoS using simplified instrumentation and a new measurement technique. The variation of the real and imaginary parts of the impedance is investigated for saturated and partially saturated conditions at electromagnetic radio frequencies (RF) between 100–500 kHz. Mortar prism samples with water to cement ratios (w/c) of 0.60 and 0.70 are used. A circuit model is proposed to explain the behavior and to calculate the bulk conductivity and permittivity for various saturation degrees. The bulk conductivity of the material is found to follow a systematic pattern for various DoS and at different excitation frequencies, which facilitates the establishment of an empirical quantitative relationship between conductivity and the DoS. Moreover, the enhancement of bulk permittivity at low RF is noticed, and its variation for various DoS is investigated.

Ülkemiz zengin bitki çeşidiyle çok sayıda tıbbi aromatik
bitkiyi bünyesinde barındırmaktadır. Bu bitkilerin de tedavide kullanımları
insanlık tarihiyle birlikte başlamıştır. Son zamanlarda ise bu bitkilerin
kullanımlarının yanı sıra soğuk sıkma yöntemiyle elde edilen yağları da tercih
edilmektedir. Buna bağlı olarak yapılan bu çalışmada; Burdur ilinde
yetiştirilen tıbbi aromatik bitkilerin (adaçayı, çörek otu, kekik, keten tohumu
ve susam) ve bunlardan elde edilen yağlarının insan sağlığı açısından mineral
element (Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Se ve Zn) miktarları İndüktif Eşleşmiş Plazma-Kütle
Spektrometresi (ICP-MS) cihazı ile tayin edilmiştir.  Bulunan sonuçlara göre tıbbi bitkilerin
mineral element miktarı,  elde edilen
yağlarına göre daha zengin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Bu çalışmada, kekik yağı (TO, %2), üzüm çekirdeği yağı
(GSO, %2) ve nar çekirdeği yağı (PSO, %2) eklenmiş kitosan (CH) filmler
hazırlanmıştır. Film örnekleri, taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) ile elde
edilen görüntüler, su buharı geçirgenliği (WVP), mekanik testler ve optik
özellikler ile karakterize edilmiştir. Antimikrobiyel aktivite ve filmlerin
salım davranışı da incelenmiştir. SEM görüntüleri, CH-TO filmlerin, CH-GSO ve
CH-PSO filmlerle karşılaştırıldığında daha homojen bir yapıya sahip olduğunu
göstermektedir. CH filmlerin elastikiyeti yağ ilavesiyle geliştirilirken,
filmlerin gerilme kuvvetinde önemli bir değişiklik gözlenmemiştir. CH filmlere
esansiyel yağ ilavesi, filmlerin kalınlık, WVP ve su tutma kapasitesi
değerlerinde önemli ölçüde azalışa neden olurken (p<0.05), filmlerin
çözünürlük değerleri etkilenmemiştir. CH filmlere esansiyel yağ ilavesi, filmlerin
optik özelliklerini etkilememiştir (p>0.05). En yüksek salım hızı, CH-TO
film örneklerinde gözlenmiştir (p<0.05). Tüm film örnekleri, Escherichia

MINERAL COMPOSITION AND SOME QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF ICE CREAMS MANUFACTURED WITH THE ADDITION OF BLUEBERRY
Authors: ERKAYA KOTAN Tuba
Published: July 2018

In
this study, determination of some physicochemical (total dry matter, fat, ash,
protein, titratable acidity, pH, complete melting time and first dripping
times), sensory properties (color and appearance, resistant to melting, body
and texture, flavor, gumming structure, general acceptability), and mineral
contents of ice cream produced by adding blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus
L.) at different ratios was aimed. Ice creams consisted of four different
samples which are control, containing 5%, 10% and 15% blueberry (BB),
respectively. In the experimental ice cream samples, a decrease in total solid,
fat, protein, pH and complete melting time was observed with the increment of
BB, while an increase was determined in overrun and viscosity values. BB
addition was also increased the contents of K, Zn, Mn and Se minerals of the
ice creams. While there was no statistically significant difference in the
scores given by panelists to ice cream samples, a significant (p <0.05)
decrease in only gumming structure scores was observed with the increase in BB
addition.

Glacial meltwater discharge in fjords on the west coast of Spitsbergen is increasing due to climate change. The influence of this discharge on phytoplankton nutrient limitation, composition, productivity and photophysiology was investigated in central (M) and inner (G) Kongsfjorden (79°N, 11°40’E). Freshwater influx intensified stratification during June 2015, coinciding with surface nutrient depletion. Surface nutrient concentrations were negatively correlated with stratification strength at station M. Here, nitrate addition assays revealed increasing N limitation of surface phytoplankton during the second half of June, which was followed by a pronounced compositional change within the flagellate-dominated phytoplankton community as dictyochophytes (85% of chl a) were replaced with smaller haptophytes (up to 60% of chlorophyll a) and prasinophytes (20% of chlorophyll a). These changes were less pronounced at station G, where surface phosphate, ammonium and nitrate concentrations were occasionally higher, and correlated with wind direction, suggesting wind-mediated transport of nutrient-enriched waters to this inner location. Therefore, glacial meltwater discharge mediated nutrient enrichment in the inner fjord, and enhanced stratification in inner and central Kongsfjorden. Surface chlorophyll a and water column productivity showed 3–4-fold variability, and did not correlate with nutrient limitation, euphotic zone depth, or changed taxonomic composition. However, the maximum carbon fixation rate and photosynthetic efficiency showed weak positive correlations to prasinophyte, cryptophyte, and haptophyte chlorophyll a. The present study documented relationships between stratification, N limitation, and changed phytoplankton composition, but surface chlorophyll a concentration, phytoplankton photosynthetic characteristics, and water column productivity in Kongsfjorden appeared to be driven by mechanisms other than N limitation.
Biological and clinical impact of imbalanced progesterone receptor isoform ratios in breast cancer

There is a consensus that progestins and thus their cognate receptor molecules, the progesterone receptors (PRs), are essential in the development of the adult mammary gland and regulators of proliferation and lactation. However, a role for natural progestins in breast carcinogenesis remains poorly understood. A hint to that possible role came from studies in which the synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate was associated with an increased breast cancer risk in women under hormone replacement therapy. However, progestins have also been used for breast cancer treatment and to inhibit the growth of several experimental breast cancer models. More recently, PRs have been shown to be regulators of estrogen receptor signaling. With all this information, the question is how can we target PR, and if so, which patients may benefit from such an approach? PRs are not single unique molecules. Two main PR isoforms have been characterized, PRA and PRB, which exert different functions and the relative abundance of one isoform with respect to the other determines the response of PR agonists and antagonists. Immunohistochemistry with standard antibodies against PR do not discriminate between isoforms. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the expression of both PR isoforms in mammary glands, in experimental models of breast cancer and in breast cancer patients, to better understand how the PRA/PRB ratio can be exploited therapeutically to design personalized therapeutic strategies.
