Towards 'men who have sex with menappropriate' health services in South Africa
Authors: Rebe Kevin Brian , De Swardt Glenn , Struthers Helen Elizabeth , McIntyre James Alisdair
Published: March 2017

Health programming for men who have sex with men (MSM) in South Africa has been ignored or absent until fairly recently, despite this population being at high risk for HIV acquisition and transmission. Anova Health Institute, with support from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)/United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and in collaboration with the South African National Department of Health, launched the first state sector MSM-targeted sexual health clinic in 2010. The clinic has been successful in attracting and retaining MSM in care, and lessons learned are described in this article. Components contributing to the creation of MSM-appropriate healthcare services are discussed.

Endoscopic Removal of Clival Chordoma
Authors: Yadav Jitendra S , Selvaraj Siva , Bhan Chander , Pandey Manish
Published: March 2017

Clivus chordomas are locally aggressive benign, with primary bone tumor arising from remnant of notochord anywhere from the coccyx to the base of the skull, in either a midline or paramedian position. The tumors show rare presentation and relatively common recurrence rate. Intracranial chordomas usually arise from the region around the clivus and account for about a third of all chordomas. Clival chordomas rarely metastasize and become symptomatic after local invasion to cranial nerves and skull base structure. Diagnosis is based on computed tomography scan/magnetic resonance imaging findings and histopathological examination of soft tissue mass. Complete surgical resection is the primary line of management with or without radiotherapy. We are presenting a case of clival chordoma of a 35-year-old female who presented with diminished vision and headache since 6 months. After evaluation, the patient was treated with endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal resection of the tumor. After surgery, the patient showed relief from headache and slight improvement in vision loss.

Koji Kondo's Super Mario Bros. Soundtrack
Authors: Schartmann Andrew
Published: March 2017

Koji Kondo's Super Mario Bros. (1985) score redefined video game music. With under three minutes of music, Kondo put to rest an era of bleeps and bloops—the sterile products of a lab environment—replacing it with one in which game sounds constituted a legitimate form of artistic expression. Andrew Schartmann takes us through the various external factors (e.g., the video game crash of 1983, Nintendo's marketing tactics) that coalesced into a ripe environment in which Kondo's musical experiments could thrive. He then delves into the music itself, searching for reasons why our hearts still dance to the “primitive” 8-bit tunes of a bygone era.

What musical features are responsible for Kondo's distinct “Mario sound”? How do the different themes underscore the vastness of Princess Peach's Mushroom Kingdom? And in what ways do the game's sound effects resonate with our physical experience of the world? These and other questions are explored within, through the lens of Kondo's compositional philosophy—one that would influence an entire generation of video game composers. As Kondo himself stated, “we [at Nintendo] were trying to do something that had never been done before.” In this book, Schartmann shows his readers how Kondo and his team not just succeeded, but heralded in a new era of video games.
Beat Happening's Beat Happening
Authors: Parker Bryan C.
Published: March 2017

This is the album that sent a shockwave of empowerment through the nation’s cultural underground. In 1985, Olympia, Washington band Beat Happening released their eponymous debut of lo-fi pop songs on K Records and challenged every conception held about music. At the center of the group was the enigmatic Calvin Johnson and his revolutionary vision of artistic creation. His foresight and industriousness allowed him to recruit to the K Records roster other free-spirited artists like Beck, Modest Mouse, and Built to Spill long before they gained widespread acclaim.

This book, structured in abecedarian fashion, breaks down the fundamental components that defined Beat Happening’s self-titled album. With a foreword by Phil Elverum, it's organized in a light-hearted yet incisive format, each of the book’s chapters details a particular facet of the record—band members, historic shows, recording sessions, songs, and ideologies—parts reflecting the album as a whole. These alphabetic ingredients constitute a recipe book for feeding your creative spirit.

Here is the story of a band that popularized do-it-yourself projects and home recording with four-track tape machines decades before the digital revolution would extend an open hand to garage bands everywhere. This is the story of musical pioneers. This is Beat Happening.
New Kids on the Block's Hangin’ Tough
Authors: Wallwork Rebecca
Published: March 2017

Hangin’ Tough, the second album by the New Kids on the Block, has sold more than seventeen million copies worldwide since it was released in 1988. But the album and the band have also been dismissed, derided and deemed uncool by the music establishment.

Almost thirty years later, the New Kids still perform the songs from Hangin’ Tough. Hundreds of thousands of grown women still flock to their concerts to hear—and go bat-shit crazy for—the songs they first heard when they were teenagers. Is this mere nostalgia or can the science of music help explain the enduring success of Hangin’ Tough? What is it about this album that made it so special? Is the music any good or are there other factors at play too?

Journalist and New Kids fan Rebecca Wallwork sets out to analyze the quality of Hangin’ Tough with the help of music cognition experts, critics, producers and music industry pros. This is not a story about crazy fans, boy bands and truckloads of cheesy merchandise; it is an exploration of a watershed album and moment in pop culture history. It is a glimpse into the brain of not just New Kids fans, but into the minds and hearts of anyone who loves music.
Sigur Rós’s ( )
Authors: Hayden Ethan
Published: March 2017

Words like “inspiring,” “expansive,” and “moving” are regularly used to describe Sigur Rós's ( ), and yet the only words heard on the record itself are a handful of meaningless nonsense syllables. The album has no title-or rather, its title is no title: just an empty pair of parentheses. The intention being that listeners will fill in the parentheses with their own title, their own interpretation of the sounds on the record. The CD sleeve consists of twelve pages that are essentially blank, lacking song titles, liner notes or production credits. Instead, it contains only semi-translucent frosted images of abstract natural scenes (tree branches, clouds, etc.), on which the listener is free to inscribe their own notes-or no notes at all. And then there are the lyrics, sung in a deliberately unintelligible tongue called “Hopelandic” which the band invites listeners to interpret freely.

Ethan Hayden's book doesn't try to fill in the gaps between the album's parentheses, but instead explores the ways in which listeners might attempt to do so. Examining the communicative powers of asemantic language, the book asks whether music can bring sense to nonsense. What happens to the voice when it stops singing conventional language: does it simply become another musical instrument, or is it somehow more “human”? What role does space play on ( )? And how do we interpret music that we cannot possibly understand, but feel very deeply that we do?
The Modern Lovers' The Modern Lovers
Authors: Maloney Sean L.
Published: March 2017

From the “War on Hippies” to the Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle, the story of Modern Lovers is a high octane tale of Brutalist architecture, rock ‘n’ roll ambition and the struggle for identity in a changing world. One of punk rock’s foundational documents, the archetype for indie obsession and all but disowned by its author, The Modern Lovers was an album doomed by its own coolness from day one. Powered by the two-chord wonder “Roadrunner” and its proclamation that “I’m in love with rock ‘n’ roll,The Modern Lovers is the essential document of American alienation, an escape route from the cultural wasteland of postwar suburbia. The Modern Lovers is the bridge connecting the Velvet Underground and the Sex Pistols; they were peers of the New York Dolls and friends with Gram Parsons and they would splinter into Talking Heads, The Cars, and The Real Kids.

But The Modern Lovers was never meant to be an album. A collection of demos, recorded in fits and starts as Jonathan Richman and his band negotiate modernity and the music industry. It is a collection of songs about a city and a society in flux, grappling with ancient corruptions and bright-eyed idealism. Richman observes a city all but abandoned by adults, ravaged by white flight and urban renewal, veering towards anarchy as old world social moors collide with new attitudes. It is a city stands in stark contrast to the the ranchstyle bedroom community where he was raised. All of these conflicts are churned through Richman’s intellectual acuity and emotional unrest to create one of the 20th century’s most enduring documents of post-adolescent malaise.
Angelo Badalamenti's Soundtrack from Twin Peaks
Authors: Norelli Clare Nina
Published: March 2017

When Twin Peaks debuted on the ABC network on the night of April 8, 1990, thirty-five million viewers tuned in to some of the most unusual television of their lives. Centered on an eccentric, coffee-loving FBI agent’s investigation into the murder of a small town teen queen, Twin Peaks brought the aesthetic of arthouse cinema to a prime time television audience and became a cult sensation in the process.

Part of Twin Peaks’ charm was its unforgettable soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti, a frequent and reoccurring collaborator of film director and Twin Peaks co-creator David Lynch. Badalamenti’s evocative music, with its haunting themes and jazzy moodscapes, served as a constant in a narrative that was often unhinged and went on to become one of the most popular and influential television soundtracks of all time.

How did a unique collaborative process between a director and composer result in a perfectly post-modern soundtrack that ran the gamut of musical styles from jazz to dreamy pop to synthesizer doom and beyond? And how did Badalamenti’s musical cues work with Twin Peaks’ visuals, constantly evolving and having the ability to break with television convention; playing off viewers’ expectations and associations? Under the guidance of Angelo Badalamenti’s diverse sonic palette Clare Nina Norelli delves deep into the world of Twin Peaks to answer all of these questions and more.
Hymns to the Silence
Authors: Mills Peter
Published: March 2017

Hymns to the Silence is a thoroughly informed and enlightened study of the art of a pop music maverick that will delight fans the world over. In 1991, Van Morrison said, Music is spiritual, the music business isn’t. Peter Mills’ groundbreaking book investigates the oppositions and harmonies within the work of Van Morrison, proceeding from this identified starting point. Hymns to the Silence is a detailed investigative study of Morrison as singer, performer, lyricist, musician and writer with particular attention paid throughout to the contradictions and tensions that are central to any understanding of his work as a whole. The book takes several intriguing angles. It looks at Morrison as a writer, specifically as an Irish writer who has recorded musical settings of Yeats poems, collaborated with Seamus Heaney, Paul Durcan and Gerald Dawe, and who regularly drops quotes from James Joyce and Samuel Beckett into his live performances. It looks at him as a singer, at how he uses his voice as an interpretive instrument. And there are chapters on his use of mythology, on his stage performances, and on his continuing fascination with America and its musical forms.
Morrissey
Authors: Hopps Gavin
Published: March 2017

Morrissey is arguably the greatest disturbance popular music has ever known. Even more than the choreographed carelessness of punk and the hyperbolic gestures of glam rock and the New Romantics, Morrissey’s early bookish ineptitude, his celebration of the ordinary, and his subversive endorsement of celibacy, abstinence and rock ‘n’ roll revolutionized the world of British pop. As a solo artist, too, he consistently adopts the outsider’s perspective and dares us to confront uncomfortable subjects. In his brilliant book, Gavin Hopps examines the work of this compelling performer, whose intelligence, humour, suffering and awkwardness have fascinated audiences around the world for the last 25 years.

Hopps traces the trajectory of Morrissey’s career and outlines the contours and contradictions of the singer’s elusive persona. The book illuminates Morrissey’s coyness (how can he remain a mystery when he tells us too much?), his dramatized melancholy (surely more of a radical existential protest than the gimmick some believe it to be), and his complex attitudes towards loneliness and alienation, as well as his intriguing sense of the religious.
Brian Eno's Another Green World
Authors: Dayal Geeta
Published: March 2017

The serene, delicate songs on Another Green World sound practicallymeditative, but the album itself was an experiment fueled byadrenaline, panic, and pure faith. It was the first Brian Eno album tobe composed almost completely in the confines of a recording studio,over a scant few months in the summer of 1975. The album was a proofof concept for Eno’s budding ideas of “the studio as musicalinstrument,“ and a signpost for a bold new way of thinking about music.

In this book, Geeta Dayal unravels Another Green World’s abundantmysteries, venturing into its dense thickets of sound. How was analbum this cohesive and refined formed in such a seemingly ad hoc way?How were electronics and layers of synthetic treatments used to createan album so redolent of the natural world? How did a deck of cardsfigure into all of this? Here, through interviews and archivalresearch, she unearths the strange story of how Another Green World formed the link to Eno’s future -- foreshadowing his metamorphosisfrom unlikely glam rocker to sonic painter and producer.
J Dilla's Donuts
Authors: Ferguson Jordan
Published: March 2017

From a Los Angeles hospital bed, equipped with little more than a laptop and a stack of records, James “J Dilla” Yancey crafted a set of tracks that would forever change the way beatmakers viewed their artform. The songs on Donuts are not hip hop music as “hip hop music” is typically defined; they careen and crash into each other, in one moment noisy and abrasive, gorgeous and heartbreaking the next. The samples and melodies tell the story of a man coming to terms with his declining health, a final love letter to the family and friends he was leaving behind. As a prolific producer with a voracious appetite for the history and mechanics of the music he loved, J Dilla knew the records that went into constructing Donuts inside and out. He could have taken them all and made a much different, more accessible album. If the widely accepted view is that his final work is a record about dying, the question becomes why did he make this record about dying?

Drawing from philosophy, critical theory and musicology, as well as Dilla’s own musical catalogue, Jordan Ferguson shows that the contradictory, irascible and confrontational music found on Donuts is as much a result of an artist’s declining health as it is an example of what scholars call “late style,” placing the album in a musical tradition that stretches back centuries.
PJ Harvey's Rid of Me
Authors: Schatz Kate
Published: March 2017

Rid of Me joins Music From Big Pink by John Niven and Meat is Murder by Joe Pernice as one of three fictional titles in the 33 1/3 Series, and tells the story of Kathleen and Mary, two women who find themselves alone in a house in the middle of the dark, forbidden forest that borders their depressed valley town. Amidst a dramatic natural setting, they negotiate their freedom, their pasts, their survival, and each other. Rid of Me is a story of escape and desire, violence and gender, landscape, family, and memory. It’s a twisted fairy tale, a queer dystopia/utopia, and a lyrical exploration of kidnapping, dreams, murder, sex, revenge, and love.

Kate Schatz’s Rid of Me is at once a wholly original work of fiction and an innovative meditation on one writer’s relationship to an album. The album in question is PJ Harvey’s 1993 recording Rid of Me, a release noted again and again for its raw sound, dark lyrics, and unabashed presentation of female sexuality, desire, and rage. In her prologue, Schatz states that the book is “not about Rid of Me, but because of it” and the book’s 14 chapters (one for each song on the album) use the lyrics, moods, images, and characters to create something entirely different, yet intimately connected to the music.
Portishead's Dummy
Authors: Wheaton R. J.
Published: March 2017

An album which distilled a genre from the musical, cultural, and social ether, Portishead’s Dummy was such a complete artistic achievement that its ubiquitous successes threatened to exhaust its own potential. RJ Wheaton offers an impressionistic investigation of Dummy that imitates the cumulative structure of the album itself, piecing together interviews, impressions of time and place, cultural criticism, and a thorough exploration of the music itself.

The approach focuses as much on the reception and response that Dummy engendered as it does on the original production of the album. How is that so many people have, collectively, made a quintessential headphone album into a nightclub album? How have they made the product of a niche local scene into an international success? This is the story of how an innovative, experimental album became the iconic sound for the better part of a decade; and an aesthetic template for the experience of music in the digital age.
Prince's Sign ‘O’ the Times
Authors: Matos Michaelangelo
Published: March 2017

One of the greatest double albums of the vinyl era, Sign ‘O’ the Times shows Prince at his peak. Here, Michaelangelo Matos tells the story of how it emerged from an extraordinary period of creativity to become one of the landmark recordings of the 1980s. He also illustrates beautifully how - if a record is great enough and lucky enough to hit you at the right time - it can change your way of looking at the world.
R.E.M.'s Murmur
Authors: Niimi J.
Published: March 2017

R.E.M.’s debut album, released in 1983, was so far removed from the prevailing trends of American popular music that it still sounds miraculous and out of time today. J. Niimi tells the story of the album’s genesis - with fascinating input from Don Dixon and Mitch Easter. He also investigates Michael Stipe’s hypnotic, mysterious lyrics, and makes the case for Murmur as a work of Southern Gothic art.
Radiohead's OK Computer
Authors: Griffiths Dai
Published: March 2017

Seemingly granted ‘classic album’ status within days of its release in 1997, OK Computer transformed Radiohead from a highly promising rock act into The Most Important Band in the World – a label the band has been burdened by (and has fooled around with) ever since. Through close musical analysis of each song, Dai Griffiths explores the themes and ideas that have made this album resonate so deeply with its audience, and argues that OK Computer is one of the most successfully realized CD albums so far created.
Richard Hell and the Voidoids' Blank Generation
Authors: Astor Pete
Published: March 2017

To wander the streets of a bankrupt, often lawless, New York City in the early 1970s wearing a T-shirt with PLEASE KILL ME written on it was an act of determined nihilism, and one often recounted in the first reports of Richard Hell filtering into the pre-punk UK. Pete Astor, an archly nihilistic teenager himself at the time, was most impressed. The fact that it emerged (after many years) that Hell himself had not worn the T-shirt but had convinced junior band member Richard Lloyd to do so, actually fitted very well with Astor’s older, wiser self looking back at Blank Generation. Richard Hell was an artist who could not only embody but also frame the punk urge; having seeded and developed the essential look and character of punk since his arrival in New York in the late 1960s, he had just what was needed to make one of the defining records of the era.

This study combines objective, academic perspectives along with culturally centred subjectivities to understand the meanings and resonances of Richard Hell and the Voidoids’ Blank Generation.
Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson
Authors: Anderson Darran
Published: March 2017

Outside his native France, the view of Serge Gainsbourg was once of a one-hit wonder lothario. This has been slowly replaced by an awareness of how talented and innovative a songwriter he was. Gainsbourg was an eclectic, protean figure; a Dadaist, poète maudit, Pop-Artist, libertine and anti-hero. An icon and iconoclast.

His masterpiece is arguably Histoire de Melody Nelson, an album suite combining many of his signature themes; sex, taboo, provocation, humour, exoticism and ultimately tragedy. Composed and arranged with the great Jean-Claude Vannier, its score of lush cinematic strings and proto-hip hop beats, combined with Serge’s spoken-word poetry, has become remarkably influential across a vast musical spectrum; inspiring soundtracks, indie groups and electronic artists. In recent years, the album’s reputation has grown from cult status to that of a modern classic with the likes of Beck, Portishead, Mike Patton, Air and Pulp paying tribute.

How did the son of Jewish Russian immigrants, hounded during the Nazi Occupation, rise to such notoriety and acclaim, being celebrated by President François Mitterand as “our Baudelaire, our Apollinaire”? How did the early chanson singer evolve into a musical visionary incorporating samples, breakbeats and dub into his music, decades ahead of the curve? And what are the roots and legacy of a concept album about a Rolls Royce, a red-haired Lolita muse, otherworldly mansions, plane crashes and Cargo Cults?
Slayer's Reign in Blood
Authors: Ferris D.X.
Published: March 2017

Issued on America’s premier rap label at the peak of the thrash metal movement, Slayer’s controversial Reign in Blood remains the gold standard for extreme heavy metal, a seamless 29-minute procession of ten blindingly fast, apocalyptic songs. The first English book about Slayer explores the creation of the most universally respected metal album and its long road to the stores, through original interviews with the entire band, producer Rick Rubin, engineer Andy Wallace, cover artist Larry Carroll, and Def Jam insiders from Russell Simmons to M.C. Serch. From Tori Amos to Pantera’s Phil Anselmo, dozens of fans and artists discuss the record’s ongoing impact and Slayer’s status in the small fraternity of rock’s greatest groups.
Slint's Spiderland
Authors: Tennent Scott
Published: March 2017

Of all the seminal albums to come out in 1991-the year of Nevermind, Loveless, Ten, and Out of Time, among others-none were quieter, both in volume and influence, than Spiderland, and no band more mysterious than Slint. Few single albums can lay claim to sparking an entire genre, but Spiderland -all six songs of it-laid the foundation for post rock in the 1990s. Yet for so much obvious influence, both the band and the album remain something of a puzzle.

This thoroughly researched book is the first substantive attempt to break through some of the mystery surrounding Spiderland and the band that made it. Scott Tennent has written a long overdue look at this remarkable album and its origins, delving into the small, insular musical universe that included bands like Squirrel Bait, Maurice, Bitch Magnet, and Bastro. The story, helped by in-depth interviews with band members David Pajo and Todd Brashear, explores the formation of Slint, the recording of Tweez, and the band's dramatic move into the sound of Spiderland.
Steely Dan's Aja
Authors: Breithaupt Don
Published: March 2017

Aja was the album that made Steely Dan a commercial force on the order of contemporaries like Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles and Chicago. A double-platinum, Grammy-winning bestseller, it lingered on the Billboard charts for more than a year and spawned three hit singles. Odd, then, that its creators saw it as an “ambitious, extended” work, the apotheosis of their anti-rock, anti-band, anti-glamour aesthetic. Populated by thirty-fi ve mostly jazz session players, Aja served up prewar song forms, mixed meters and extended solos to a generation whose idea of pop daring was Paul letting Linda sing lead once in a while. And, impossibly, it sold. Including an in-depth interview with Donald Fagen, this book paints a detailed picture of the making of a masterpiece.
The Band's Music from Big Pink
Authors: Niven John
Published: March 2017

“Music From Big Pink is a moving book that succeeds not just in vividly evoking its time and place but in distilling one young man’s cliched and minor destiny into something approaching tragedy....This well-written first novel captures not just some of the dreams of that bygone era, but the way those dreams died.”

—Greg Kamiya, The New York Times Book Review

Music From Big Pink is faction: real people like Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, Bob Dylan and Albert Grossman rub shoulders with fictional characters and actual, documented events thread their way through text alongside imagined scenarios. Through the eyes of 23-year-old Greg Keltner, drug-dealer and wannabe musician, we witness the gestation and birth of a record that will go on to cast its spell across five decades - bewitching and inspiring artists as disparate as The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Travis, Wilco and Mercury Rev.
The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs
Authors: Beghtol LD
Published: March 2017

A fully illustrated oral history of the Magnetic Fields' 1999 triple album, 69 Love Songs - an album that was afforded "classic" status by many almost as soon as it was released. LD Beghtol's book is chatty, incestuous, funny, dark, digressive, sexy, maddening, and delightful in equal measures. It documents a vital and influential scene from the inside, involving ukuleles and tears, citations and footnotes, analogue drum machines, and floods of cognac. Oh, and a crossword puzzle too.

The centre of the book is the secret history of these tuneful, acerbic, and sometimes heartbreaking songs of old love, new love, lost love, punk rock love, gay love, straight love, experimental music love, true love, blue love, and the utter lack of love that fill the album - as told by participants, fans, imitators, naysayers, and others.

Also included are a lexicon of words culled from the album's lyrics, recording details, performance notes from the full album shows in New York, Boston and London, plus rare and unpublished images, personal memorabilia, and much much more.
The Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime
Authors: Fournier Michael T.
Published: March 2017

The story of the Minutemen has been told before (Our Band Could Be Your Life, We Jam Econo), but this book focuses purely on their music – the punk ethic and the remarkable, enduring songs that comprise this, their greatest achievement. Including extensive interviews with Mike Watt and many others close to and inspired by the band, this is a great tribute to a classic piece of American underground music.

Included are extensive interviews with Mike Watt, the band's bass player, as well as interviews with several artists, musicians, studio owners, and fanzine writers who have been devoted followers of the band for years.
The Pixies' Doolittle
Authors: Sisario Ben
Published: March 2017

The Pixies have had a career unlike any other in alternative rock, disappearing as not-quite-the-next-big-things only to become gods in absentia. Doolittle is their knotty masterpiece, the embodiment of the Pixies' abrasive, exuberant, enigmatic pop. Informed by exclusive interviews with the band, Sisario looks at the making of the album and its place in rock history, and studies its continued influence in light of the Pixies triumphant reunion.
The Replacements' Let It Be
Authors: Meloy Colin
Published: March 2017

One of the greatest moments of College Rock in the 1980s, Let It Be had a huge impact on the fans who fell under its spell. For Colin Meloy, growing up in Montana - a state that's strangely missing from the tour itineraries of almost every band - the album was a lifeline and an inspiration. In this disarming memoir, Meloy lovingly recreates those feverish first years when rock music grips you and never lets go.
The Stone Roses' The Stone Roses
Authors: Green Alex
Published: March 2017

The Stone Roses shows a band sizzling with skill, consumed with drive and aspiration and possessing an almost preternatural mastery of the pop paradigm. This book explores the political and cultural zeitgeist of England in 1989, and attempts to apprehend the magic ingredients that made The Stone Roses such a special album.
The Velvet Underground's The Velvet Underground and Nico
Authors: Harvard Joe
Published: March 2017

The Velvet Underground and Nico has influenced the sound of more bands than any other album. And remarkably, it still sounds as fresh and challenging today as it did upon its release in 1967. In this book, Joe Harvard covers everything from Lou Reed’s lyrical genius to John Cale’s groundbreaking instrumentation, and from the creative input of Andy Warhol to the fine details of the recording process. With input from co-producer Norman Dolph and Velvets fan Jonathan Richman, Harvard documents the creation of a record which – in the eyes of many – has never been matched.

Addressing the undeniable challenge of climate change within the pages of PMRP is a priority and, starting with the 2017 volume, will become an ongoing focus for submissions. In support of this, the views of Dr. Joel Carboni were recently captured on a variety of topics relevant to both project management researchers and practitioners.
Desempeño gramatical y narrativo en niños con Trastorno Específico del Lenguaje
Authors: Coloma Carmen Julia , Mendoza Elvira , Carballo Gloria
Published: March 2017

El presente trabajo indaga en aspectos de la gramatica y del discurso narrativo que son problemáticos para los niños con Trastorno Específico del Lenguaje (TEL). Participaron 60 niños hablantes del español: 20 niños con TEL cuyo promedio de edad fue 6.6 y dos grupos controles: 20 niños con desarrollo típico equiparados en edad cronológica y 20 niños con desarrollo típico igualados por Longitud Media del Enunciad (LME). Cada niño escuchó tres cuentos que recontó y luego respondió preguntas sobre los relatos. Las narraciones se analizaron según aspectos gramaticales (complejidad y gramaticalidad de las oraciones) y discursivos (estructura y relaciones semánticas). Se corrigieron las respuestas infantiles distinguiendo respuestas literales e inferenciales. Los resultados muestran que el grupo con TEL en gramaticalidad de las oraciones y en comprensión narrativa evidencia un comportamiento semejante al de los controles equiparados por LME. No obstante, en complejidad de las oraciones y en producción narrativa sus desempeños fueron similares a ambos controles. En consecuencia, los núcleos problemáticos de los niños con TEL más evidentes en gramática es la agramaticalidad de las oraciones y en narración la comprensión narrativa.
Identifying Current and Missing Knowledge in the Control of Pyrethroid-Resistant Triatoma infestans, Vector of Chagas Disease
Authors: Roca Acevedo Gonzalo , Picollo María Inés
Published: March 2017

Triatomines are blood-sucking bugs that occur mainly in Latin America. They are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. Chemical control of Chagas disease´s vectors by using pyrethroid insecticides has been highly successful for the elimination of domestic infestation and consequently the reduction of the vector transmission. However, at the beginning of the 2000s a decrease in the effectiveness of the chemical control of triatomines was detected in several areas from Argentina and Bolivia, particularly in the Gran Chaco eco-region.During the last 15 years, several studies demonstrated the evolution of insecticide resistance in Triatoma infestans and established the presence of different toxicological profiles, the autosomal inherence of resistance, the biological costs of deltamethrin resistance, the expression of deltamethrin resistance thorough the embryonic development, and the main mechanisms of resistance (target-site insensitivity and metabolic detoxification of insecticides).The emergence of pyrethroid resistance coupled with the usual difficulties in sustaining adequate rates of insecticide applications emphasize the need of incorporating other tools for integrated vector and disease control, such as the proposal of the organo-phosphorus insecticide fenitrothion as an alternative chemical strategy for the management of the resistance because it was effective against pyrethroid-resistant populations in laboratory and semi-field trials.New studies on the current situation of presence and spread of resistant populations of triatomines and the acceptance of the use of alternative insecticides are critical requirements in the implementation of strategies for the management of resistance and for the rational design of campaigns oriented to reducing the vector transmission of Chagas’ disease.
How Taiwanese Preschool Educators View Play and Apply It in Their Teaching
Authors: Tsai Chia-Yen
Published: March 2017

In this research I investigated the views preschool educators in Taiwan on play and the role of play in the curriculum. Adopting a qualitative methodology, I conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 educators at preschools affiliated with elementary schools. The results indicate that preschool educators generally agree that, in addition to being a source of happiness for children, play also promotes learning and development. Thus play is seen as a meaningful learning activity which has a unique and valuable role in the preschool curriculum. However, the findings also indicate that participants need to give more attention to observing and understanding their children’s abilities, interests, and developmental stages, so as to adopt a suitable role in various types of play and find the optimal balance between play and structured learning.
Beyond Broudy’s Triad—Infusing University Students with the Love of Poetry
Authors: Zid Mounir Ben
Published: March 2017

In spite of the diverse schools of thought providing guidance for poetry teachers—such as the didactic, heuristic, or phyletic approaches—this myriad of teaching modes has failed to generate adequate student appreciation for poetry courses. The reason for this is teachers’ tendency to cling to the idea that one must choose a particular approach and find out the correct or fixed meaning. This study includes a recommendation for a major shift in teaching poetry that transforms each class session into a new learning rather than a teaching experience—one in which the instructor’s role is to inspire a passion and love for poetry in ESL learners. This teaching-learning style requires that teachers change from being omniscient sages to participants, co-explorers, and learners—a move from teaching methods to learning styles and a shift from encouraging the love of teachers to inspiring the love of poetry in university students.

Authors: Du Xiao , Hao Zhang
Published: March 2017

This paper estimates wage and employment equation model on urban labor market by the simultaneous maximum likelihood method with CHIP-2002. The results show: human capital, personal ability and father’s education background of a person will affect his/her market wage; Partner’s income and preschool children have a negative effect on female employment probability but have no effect on male employment probability; Female return rate to education is 9.65% and employment elasticity to wage is 1.27; Male return rate to education is 5.93% and employment elasticity to wage is 0.45; Conventional Heckman two step procedure and Probit MLE underestimate the return rate to education and employment elasticity to wage.
Is de nietigheidsecarterende (en/)of conversieclausule (severability clause) eigenlijk wel toegestaan?

Is de nietigheidsecarterende (en/)of conversieclausule (severability clause) eigenlijk wel toegestaan?

In het artikel wordt de vraag behandeld of een “severabilty clause” – een clausule die vaak standaard als boilerplate in een contract wordt opgenomen en waarin partijen nietigheden en vernietigbaarheden op voorhand willen reguleren – wettelijk is toegestaan en/of opname van een dergelijke clausule zinvol is.

De auteur komt tot de conclusie dat dergelijke clausules – binnen een bepaalde bandbreedte – zijn toegestaan, maar hij bepleit dat opname van een dergelijk clausule tot een dermate grote onduidelijkheid kan leiden, dat opname daarom niet zinvol is. Dit geldt temeer omdat er een uitgebalanceerde wettelijke regeling bestaat voor de gevallen dat partijen geen afspraken hierover hebben gemaakt.

Recht doen aan wat partijen bedoelen

Het leerstuk van de uitleg van overeenkomsten blijft in beweging. Waar in 1981 en 1993 de grenspalen werden geslagen door ontwikkeling van de Haviltex-norm en de cao-norm, is sindsdien binnen die norm verfijnd. In 2004 oordeelde de Hoge Raad in DSM/Fox dat tussen beide normen een vloeiende overgang bestaat. Tussen de Haviltex- en cao-norm bleef evenwel een waterscheiding bestaan. Op 25 november 2016 sloeg de Hoge Raad in zijn arrest FNV/Condor een brug tussen cao en Haviltex. Bij uitleg gaat het om wat concreet met een bepaling is bedoeld, niet om wat partijen zouden hebben gewild als ze overal rekening mee hadden gehouden, aldus de Hoge Raad in zijn arrest Flexabram/Iprem van 9 december 2016. Beide arresten worden in deze bijdrage besproken.

Electrochemical copolymerization of o-chlorophenol (o-ClPh) with o-hydroxyphenol (o-HOPh) was conducted in aqueous H2SO4 using cyclic voltammetry technique at the Pt electrode. The reaction rate was found to be of the second order in the monomer concentration and first order in the acid concentration. The activation energy, enthalpy, and entropy for the copolymerization were found to be 20.20 kJ mol-1, 19.24 kJ mol-1 and -281.47 J K-1 mol-1, respectively. The obtained copolymer films show smooth feature with amorphous nature. Copolymer films adhere Pt electrode very well and show less reactivity in the H2SO4 medium. The pH sensitivity of the poly(oClPh-co-HOPh)-modified electrode has been investigated potentiometrically using different polymer thicknesses. The potentiometric responses to pH change of the poly(oClPh-co-HOPh)-modified electrode appeared reversible and linear in the range from pH 2-11 with a maximum sub-Nernstian potentiometric response slope of 40.7 mV/pH (30 °C). The slope became close to 56.2 mV/pH in the range from pH 4 to 9 at (30 °C). The poly(oClPh-co-HOPh)-modified electrode readily responded to pH change but was not stable with time.

A importância do estudo do processo de crescimento e desenvolvimento deve-se ao falo de que a forma como esse processo se realiza pode ser usada como um indicador positivo de saúde. O estudo do crescimento das crianças está ligado, desde seus primórdios, às Ciências Naturais e à Matemática; já o desenvolvimento passou a ser objeto de interesse dasCiências Humanas. Assim, o estudo do crescimento e do desenvolvimento envolve profissionais de formação diferente, que utilizam instrumental diferente. Há uma multiplicidadede condições que interferem, umas, no ritm o de crescimento; outras, no processo de desenvolvimento ou em ambos os processos; essas interferências podem ser de natureza biológica ou psicossocial. Tudo isso denotando que o crescimento e o desenvolvimento, enquanto campo de conhecimento, configuram uma interdisciplina. O avanço do conhecimento dependerá de interações entre disciplinas ligadas à Biologia, como a Medicina e a Nutrição, ou às Ciências Humanas, como a Sociologia e a Psicologia, e mesmo a áreas que, per si, já são interdisciplinas, como a Saúde Pública.São apresentados exemplos de interacóes entre crescimento e desenvo1vimento, tirados da prática profissional do acompanhamento de crianças Adias, com a finalidade de suscitar reflexões e demonstrar a import~neia da abordagem multidisciplinar do crescimento e do desenvol vimento.
FALTA VONTADE POLÍTICA PARA GARANTlR OS DIREITOS DE CIDADANIA DAS CRIANÇAS
Authors: Costa Antonio Carlos Gomes da
Published: March 2017

A nova legislação brasileira se opõe ao paternalismo e assistencialismo do governo em relação às crianças e jovens excluídos das políticas sociais básicas. O assistencialis~no é uma abordagem inadequada para suprir as falhas gritantes de um país que não consegue dar moradia, alimentação, saúde, educação, trabalho e lazer a milhões de jovens. Pela nova concepção jurídica, a criança passa de “ser carente” a “sujeito de direitos exigíveis” na forma da lei. Ou seja, conquista a condição de cidadania. O Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente traz um conceito revolucion~rio de gestão: a União, os Estados e os MunicIpios devem dividir responsabilidades para atender o Jovem das classes sociais mais desfavorecidas. A população deve participar nos programas sociais por iutermédio de suas organizações representativas. Isso significa um espaço inédito para a cidadania se introduzir na questão direta das políticas públicas.Mas falta vontade política para o estabelecimento de uma política social efetiva, que garanta os direitos dos pequenas cidadãos brasileiros. Há no Brasil um profundo abismo entre a lei e a realidade, entre o país legal e o país real. Por isso, é preciso desenvolver uma consciência política e capacitar tecnicamente os representantes da coletividade.
A CRIANÇA DE 0 - 6 ANOS NO BRASIL E SEU ATENDIMENTO EDUCACIONAL - Questões a Considerar
Authors: Didonet Vital
Published: March 2017

As condições pessoais de desenvolvimento e aprendizagem de milhões de crianças brasileiras são afetadas pelos problemas decorrentes da pobreza e das disparidades sócio-econômicas,além da discriminação gerada por razões ideológicas. A recessão produz impactos mais fortes sobre as crianças das famílias dos extratos inferiores de renda, que se vêemimpossibilitadas de atender às necessidades básicas de seus filhos pequenas.A demanda por creches e pré-escolas exerce influencia decisiva no aumento da oferta pelo setor público, principalmente municipal. A tendência de crescimento de 10% das matriculaspor ano deve continuar.Mas as políticas sociais, além de ocuparem um lugar secundário no conjunto das políticas governamentais, não têm conseguido ultrapassar - apesar do Estatuto da Criança e doAdolescente - a fase assistencialista e compensatória. A manutenção das conquistas da sociedade em favor da criança é um trabalho que não pode parar.
PERFIL DA FORMAÇÃO DE RECURSOS HUMANOS PARA O ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

Published: March 2017

A concepção do curso de formação de professores sofreu uma grande mudança quando a preocupação deixou de ser a questão de ensinar o professor a ensinar, mas a de saber como o aluno aprende. A proposta da autora é a formação de professores polivalentes e multidisciplinares, capazes de atender a diferentes tipos de alunos, da pré-escola ao 2^g grau.Esses professores teriam sua formação complementada em cursos de especialização após o término do ensino básico ou mesmo em nlvel universitário. Mas essa proposta requer uma reformularão ampla nos currículos do ensino fundamental, inadequados para as diferentes fases do processo educacional do pais.

FAMÍLIAS DAS CLASSES POPULARES: TRADIÇÃO E MUDANÇA
Authors: Mello Sylvia Leser de
Published: March 2017

As famílias das classes populares, na cidade de São Paulo, têm sido vitimadas pelas condições adversas de sobrevivência na cidade, uma vez que são, quase todas, de origem migrante. Sofrem, ainda, dois processos simultâneos de segregação e desqualificação. Este artigo discute, brevemente, as noções de tradição e mudança vividas pelas famílias das classes populares urbanas, enfatizando as diferenças culturais e a necessidade de adaptação aos desafios que o meio urbano propõe. Esses desafios estão presentes nas transformações dos padrões de autoridade masculina e na construção de novas modalidades de vida familiar.
