Where’s the Jazz?
Authors: Guarino Lindsay
Published: September 2022

Chapter 7 presents a guide for viewing jazz dance through a historically-rooted, racially conscious lens. Recognizing how Whiteness acts as a filter in viewing jazz dance, the reader is encouraged to push through implicit biases while asking the question, “Where’s the jazz?” Choreography by Pat Taylor of JazzAntiqua Dance & Music Ensemble and by Kimberley Cooper of Decidedly Jazz Danceworks is discussed and analyzed using the following four steps: 1) What I know, 2) What I see, 3) What I feel, 4) What I found. Africanist aesthetics, the social and kinetic elements of African American and authentic jazz dance, groove, rooted jazz music, and jazz energy are all a part of the framework in this step-by-step process, providing the reader with the tools to better understand jazz dance aesthetics in connection to the African American core of the jazz dance continuum.
Jazz Is a Feeling …
Authors: Hawkins Adrienne
Published: September 2022

In this essay, Boston choreographer Adrienne Hawkins discusses her White-centric education as a Black woman, and the impact it had on her as a dancer and choreographer. Her study with Daniel Nagrin introduced her to vernacular jazz dance, which became important in her work. Hawkins describes her choreographic style as a combination of formal dance training and “communication, fun, circles, grounded-ness, action, current events, and my social experience.” In her choreography, she is drawn to communicating universal emotions, driven by the music that propels the movement.
Cultivating African Diasporic Ethos and Cultural Values in Contemporary Jazz Dance
Authors: Haley Monique Marie
Published: September 2022

This chapter discusses a conceptual framework, the Diasporic Encounter Method, a self-devised process by the author that implements African Cultural Values as the foundation for a contemporary jazz class structure. The author explores how these values integrate into a contemporary jazz pedagogy—each section taking the reader on a journey towards jazz embodiment. The chapter highlights how the act of ritual, African ethos, a celebration of community, and the collective spirit, can lead to a cathartic experience in the classroom. Student recounts of such experiences spread throughout the text as tools to engage the reader further. They reveal how the importance of centering Africanist principles, aesthetics, and values into a jazz dance practice can indeed lead to a transformative jazz journey and purpose-filled intention in the class environment.
Ciudad Vieja and Early Spanish Colonial Urbanism
Authors: Fowler William R.
Published: September 2022

Early Spanish colonial urbanism is explored with reference to the metaprocesses of colonialism, capitalism, Eurocentrism, and racialization while contextualizing issues of power, gender, status, domination, identity, and hybridity. These issues are viewed from the perspective of the “effective scales” (segments of space and time, like a geographer’s “level of resolution”) in multiscalar, dialectical analysis of archaeological landscapes and material culture. Out of an infinite array of options of spatial and temporal scales, men and women recognize patterns and make decisions at specific scales. For each conscious decision or action, a corresponding effective scale exists. The scale at which pattern can be comprehended or meaning attributed is referred to as the “effective scale.” This historical materialist approach represents a broad, overarching, macrotheoretical framework within which other theories and theorists may engage in dialog.
The Ciudad Vieja Archaeological Project
Authors: Fowler William R.
Published: September 2022

The initial stages of archaeological field research at the site of Ciudad Vieja consisted of topographic mapping and controlled surface survey, followed by subsurface geophysical remote sensing to document and explore the production, construction, spatial patterning, and structural organization of this remarkable townscape. Because of its exposure, visibility, and preservation, the site is an ideal environment for total-station mapping and subsurface remote sensing. Methods employed in the latter included magnetic gradiometry, electrical conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility. The geophysical targets consisted mainly of stone building foundations buried slightly below the ground surface. These were made of cut basalt stone naturally present on the site. A highly magnetic volcanic rock, basalt possesses high magnetite content and exhibits high magnetic susceptibility, qualities that ensured excellent results for the magnetic susceptibility survey.
The Urban Landscape of Ciudad Vieja
Authors: Fowler William R.
Published: September 2022

Archaeological excavations of approximately 20 structures during the field seasons from 1996 to 2015, followed by detailed architectural studies and spatial analyses, have enabled interpretations of the Ciudad Vieja urban landscape, or townscape, and built environment. The structures include two major civic constructions, one religious complex, two buildings of a commercial or commercial/industrial nature, six structures interpreted as Spanish residences, and two structures interpreted as indigenous residences. Spanish and Spanish-related constructions display a remarkable consistency in orientation and construction techniques. With the exception of Structure 1D1, which may have been constructed before the grid plan of the town was laid out, all known Spanish buildings are multiroom constructions aligned to 12°, and all of these constructions share the same type of stone foundations, at least 83 cm (one Spanish vara) in width, and built to a depth of at least one meter. Indigenous structures, on the other hand, consisted of a single room built on a single course of uncut basalt stones with walls of bajareque and thatched roofs. These architectural differences highlight major differences in Spanish and indigenous practice and embodiment of habitus in the urban landscape of the villa of San Salvador.
Introduction
Authors: Colangelo Jeremy
Published: September 2022

This introduction begins with an analysis of the centrality of the body and embodiment in Joyce’s writings, as well as the difficult problem of disability metaphors, especially as used by Joyce’s critics. In then provides a brief overview of the aims and goals of literary disability studies, and of how Joyce and Joyce criticism fits within it. The introduction also includes a section on definitions of key disability studies terms, as well as a summary of the currently existing scholarship on disability in Joyce.
“Limping and Devious”
Authors: Lawrence Casey
Published: September 2022

This chapter concerns one of Joyce's least examined stories in Dubliners. The chapter close-reads the story through the lens of disability studies and discusses Joyce's use of a disabled main character, "Hoppy" Holohan, to investigate the fraught relationship between disability and masculinity in Joyce's early work. Previous scholarship on the story is criticized for the recurring assumption that male disability acts only as a metaphor for emasculation or sexual impotence. The use of disability to represent religious degeneration—the body acting as an index of morality—and the stagnation of turn-of-the-century Irish politics is considered alongside these traditional readings. A genetic study of Joyce's early drafts demonstrates the deliberate choice of words used to describe Holohan's limp and the argument is made that the character was intended to mock either a specific person, or at least a certain kind of person, participating in the Irish Revival. The disabled Irish body is thus linked with stage-Irish nationalism and figures such as Cathleen ni Houlihan to create a satire of the "paralyzed" city of Dublin; the chapter also examines the ableism inherent in Joyce's framing of his political commentary. Finally, the story's recurrent phallic symbolism inscribes aging and disabled male bodies with patriarchal power that counterbalances physical weakness with social and political authority. Both Holohan and O'Madden Burke escape the stigma of disability by asserting this power over Mrs. Kearney, who has overstepped the traditional boundaries of femininity and thus must be put in her place.
Boulez, Cage, and the Disabled Wake
Authors: Morey John
Published: September 2022

This chapter seeks a triangulation of (post)modern music / sound art, disability, and the prose writing of Finnegans Wake. The pivot point of this orientation is certainly disability. While readings of Joyce in relation to (modern) classical music are many (a tradition having developed around the musical study of the “Sirens” episode of Ulysses in particular), strictly aesthetic disablist readings of music are rare, and, until Joyce Writing Disability, disablist Joycean scholarship has been only slightly more common. The chapter advocates for “deformed” and “dysfunctional” human bodies through the proxy of artworks to which such descriptors have frequently been attached. The challenging immediacy of “dysphonic” modern music / sound art, and of such abstract/concrete avant-garde creative language as we find in the Wake, is shown to be closely analogous with the immediate affect of disabled corporealities on abled culture. The chapter seeks here to problematize mainstream culture’s “incomprehension” of such disparate works as Finnegans Wake, Pierre Boulez’s Third Sonata for piano, and John Cage’s sound collage Roaratorio, and to align this incomprehension with similar responses to heterogenous disabled bodies. On this rationale, the chapter considers the oblique but profound influence of Joyce on these two sonic artworks, and the, so to speak, “congenital” deformities and dysfunctions that this influence conferred. In this, it interrogates the popular critical view of Joyce’s language as “musical” and, conversely, examines the verifiability of literary influence on musical art.
Introduction
Authors: Hutchinson Dale L.
Published: September 2022

Health care permeates American society. The history of American medicine embodies three main trends: the melding of three separate ancestral traditions, landscape change, and personal choice. Hutchinson explores these three main trends of American medicine through the analysis of several historic narratives and materials from the eastern United States between 1600 and 1950 that pertain to the growth and development of American health care. The road to American wellness has been a long one, marked by the difficult balance between care provided by professionals and self-administered cures.
Faith, Religion, and Healing in Colonial America
Authors: Hutchinson Dale L.
Published: September 2022

The joining of populations who lived in the land that would become America, and those who colonized it from Africa, Europe, and Asia, all had distinct traditions of healing and material manifestations of those traditional cures. Hutchinson delves into the traditions of healing for indigenous, African, and European populations in Colonial America, focusing on the role of faith and religion in the healing process as well as the different methods of treatment in each cultural sphere.
Suspect Specialists
Authors: Hutchinson Dale L.
Published: September 2022

Medical specialists faced numerous challenges to their legitimacy in the nineteenth century. Jacksonianism, distrust, dissection training, professional licensing, and extreme heroic treatments led to public distrust of medical professionals. Hutchinson argues that the growing public distrust of medical professionals was exacerbated by President Andrew Jackson, who promoted a spirit of egalitarianism with a distrust of intellectuals and learning. Another response of the Jacksonian movement was to reemphasize the role of spirituality in health, taking form in alternative medical practices, such as physical fitness advocates and water-cure specialists. Many of the health revisionist movements during this time also emphasized the importance of organic treatments over drugs. In response to the growing scepticism of formally trained physicians, various medical societies and organizations formed to legitimize physicians, such as the American Medical Association (AMA).
Conclusion
Authors: Hutchinson Dale L.
Published: September 2022

Colonial America was formed by people from radically different traditions, histories, ecologies, and economies. Each of these populations had long traditions of health care, which joined the development of social, political, and economic endeavors of a growing America. American health care went through several overlapping stages of development including the melding of separate ancestral traditions, professionalization, institutional care, and self-help.
Considering the Long-Term Consequences of Designating Native American Sites as European Creations
Authors: Trabert Sarah
Published: September 2022

During the European colonization of North America through the twentieth century, some Native American sites were initially designated as European settlements and forts rather than Indigenous in origin. This was especially true for Native American sites on the Great Plains, as several sites in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas were initially considered European trading posts. Even though archaeologists have long recognized the Native American origins for these sites, those initial European designations often persist in local American communities today, a fact that undermines many of the long-term Indigenous occupational histories of these places. Names have power and archaeologists can continue to help rewrite these narratives by recognizing Indigenous perspectives and claims. Furthermore, newly developing “pericolonial” frameworks can be utilized to model the consequences of these designations, especially given that many of these spaces were part of, yet viewed as apart from, the main vanguard of settler colonialism.
The Struggle to Identify Nineteenth-Century Indigenous Sites in Cultural Resource Management
Authors: Beaudoin Matthew A.
Published: September 2022

This chapter explores some of the current difficulties in identifying nineteenth-century Indigenous sites in cultural resource management (CRM) surveys in Ontario, Canada. In discussing some of the common signifiers used to identify nineteenth-century Indigenous sites, such as pierced coins and knapped glass, the author highlights some of the risks and unintended consequences of these common practices. The author emphasizes that we must also explicitly explore what makes an archaeological site Indigenous to deconstruct the essentialized and unquestioned categories that are prevalent within archaeological practice.
Home and Homeland in the Land Beyond the Mountains
Authors: Scheiber Laura L.
Published: September 2022

Permanent Euroamerican settlement did not occur in the western Plains until after a long period of cultural entanglement between Native residents and newcomers. This study focuses on the unique contributions of the Crow (or Apsáalooke) Indians in northwestern Wyoming. Because of modern political and disciplinary boundaries, the region’s history is often severed in two, with the native story ending as the settler story begins. Discussions of cross-cultural interactions and transformations in a settler colonialism context are largely absent. The narrative presented in this chapter focuses on long-term indigenous histories that extend from the past to the present. Combining multidisciplinary sources, the research reveals deep engagements with place-making by multiple stakeholders through time. Culturally significant places played their own unique roles in twentieth-century histories. These tangible reminders of the past are useful heuristic tools for conceptualizing intangible cultural heritage today.
Navigating Entanglements and Mitigating Intergenerational Trauma in Two Collaborative Projects
Authors: Cowie Sarah E. , Teeman Diane L.
Published: September 2022

This chapter addresses two related case studies in collaborative Indigenous archaeology with the goal of interrogating conflicting discourses and epistemologies about Indigenous heritages. The chapter first describes a project recently begun on an Indigenous trail that the federal government used in the nineteenth century to forcibly remove Indigenous prisoners of war (POWs) from their homelands. Then the chapter summarizes a completed project at Nevada’s historic Stewart Indian School. Both projects highlight concepts of governmentality, entanglement, removal, and trauma. The authors examine how and why: the United States government forcibly removed American Indians from their ancestral homelands in the nineteenth-century American West; the government attempted to assimilate tribal children into mainstream society; and, how and why government oversight continues to regulate Indigenous heritage through federal archaeological policies that often perpetuate colonial practices. Colonialist worldviews of what has value as a “cultural resource” as well as what has life, presence, and agency are narrowly defined in preservation law, as compared to many Indigenous epistemologies. In contrast, working in a truly collaborative way with Indigenous communities invaluably broadens and enriches the archaeological understandings of important places, and may help mitigate traumas associated with tragic events.
H.D., Synesthete
Authors: DeMaagd Allyson C.
Published: September 2022

This chapter examines how H.D. forges intersensory connections among the seemingly divergent senses of sight, sound, and touch in her autobiographical novel HERmione. She does this through optic technologies, by first exposing how such technologies reinforce gendered, sensory hierarchies, and then repurposing those technologies for more feminist, sensuously inclusive ends. HERmione’s setting resembles that of H.D.’s childhood home, replete with her father and brother busy at their microscopes. Through these microscopes, Hermione recovers the so-called feminine, lower senses, which the misogynistic, ocularcentric milieu of male science buries. Hermione is aided in her work through a romantic relationship with a woman, Fayne Rabb. Their queer relationship challenges sexual and societal norms and fosters sensory investigation. As Hermione conducts her own scientific study of the senses, she challenges masculine science and alters understandings of human perception and sensation. Importantly, she uses the microscope to illuminate the synesthetic sensorium of sea animals, thereby challenging anthropocentric sensory paradigms.
A zoom severed it”
Authors: DeMaagd Allyson C.
Published: September 2022

This chapter examines how Virginia Woolf repurposes technology not only to combat sensory violence against women, but also against nations. Woolf invokes threatening technologies associated with fascism such as the gramophone, megaphone, and the airplane, to wage her own war on sensory habituation—sensory practices that, over time, become sensory habits that humans enact automatically, without much thought or consideration. Woolf, however, asks her readers to sense anew. Combining affect theory, animal studies, and cultural accounts of technology, this chapter demonstrates how Woolf promotes non-normative sensory practices and advocates for diverse sensory communities. In Between the Acts, lower class characters, environmental interjections from trees and birds, and various rogue acoustic technologies serve as models for how to interrupt sensory habituation and challenge sensory normativity. Woolf’s formal innovation, which blends generic forms, further disrupts sensuous expectations and discourages habitual sensory responses.
History of Timbuctoo
Authors: Barton Christopher P.
Published: September 2022

This chapter discusses Timbuctoo’s history. First, the community’s founding by formerly enslaved migrants from Maryland in 1825. This early settlement was part of a larger settlement pattern of antebellum Black villages located near Quaker communities in southern New Jersey. Discussed in this subsection is the role of Timbuctoo in Underground Railroad and the inactions between the community versus slave catchers. Additionally, Timbuctoo was the home to several United State Colored Troops veterans, including, William Davis. Davis’s homestead was the focus for the archaeological research for this book as his home’s foundation was used as a community trash midden from 1910s to 1940s. Thirdly, a presentation of the oral histories from elders of the community offer insights into the racial tensions of the early to mid-twentieth century. Finally, a summary of the archaeological record at Timbuctoo helps to situate interpretations of race, class, and consumerism. This mixed method approach of archaeological, ethnographic, and written records contextualizes the proceeding chapters on life at Timbuctoo.
Introduction: El Santo Versus the Cineteca Nacional de México
Authors: Cosentino Brian
Published: September 2022

This introduction reviews and revises the traditional narrativization of Mexican film history that overlooks 1960s to 1980s cinematic production and labels an era of “crisis.” A recent conflict between Mexico’s national film institute, the Cineteca Nacional, and the cinema of El Santo, a beloved figure of popular culture, illustrates the institutional and academic biases that contribute to the exclusion of commercial genre films that lack aesthetic quality. Opposing the critical and scholarly prioritization of auteur, art, independent, and prize-winning cinema, this chapter centers the lost cinema, providing an overview of its shared qualities and a fresh take on Mexican film “crisis.” The chapter reframes the (typically lamented) departure from didactic, Golden Age displays of Mexican national identity as predicating the creative liberty for cinema to explore what it meant to be modern in ways untethered to revolutionary nationalism.
I Know It’s Only Rock and Roll, but I Like It
Authors: Price Brian
Published: September 2022

This chapter explores the emergence of rock cinema in Mexico. The first section considers how rock and roll came to Mexico and the changes that it signified for the national film industry. As rock music grew in popularity with middle- and upper-class audiences, films depicting new dance trends, fashion, and music displaced traditional folkloric musicals and offered Mexican youth an alternative to the rigid nationalist imagination. The second section considers how rock films became promotional vehicles for emerging, homegrown musical talent. There I will argue that, throughout the 1960s, domestic film studios produced large numbers of low-budget boilerplate rock films—or churros—in order to draw in large crowds of younger spectators. Notwithstanding the slapstick gags, banal wordplay, and stock caricatures present in nearly every one of these films, 1960s rock churros played an important role in promoting local musical talent and instructing adolescent audiences in the latest foreign dance trends. By the same token, they also became vehicles for criticizing and undermining the subversive countercultural gesture
The Mexican Chili Western and Crisis Masculinity
Authors: Conway Christopher
Published: September 2022

The chapter examines how Mexican Chili Westerns challenge the worn out revolutionary and modernizing clichés of the Mexican state and foreground a psychological and traumatized brand of masculinity defined by impotence, despair, and abandonment. After outlining the history of Mexican film Westerns prior to the 1960s, three representative Chili Westerns with broken and symbolically castrated men are foregrounded: El tunco Maclovio (1970), La mula de Cullen Baker (1971), and Las víboras cambian de piel (1974). These Chili Westerns depict the disintegration of masculinity and insist on framing Mexican masculinity through psychology rather than specific and easily identifiable social or political frames. The films dialogue with the popularity of psychoanalysis in mid-twentieth century Mexico and use rape, homosociality, and Oedipal themes to present their damaged male protagonists as neurotics.
Men on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Authors: Lehnen Jeremy
Published: September 2022

José Henrique Fonseca’s O Homem do Ano (The Man of the Year, 2003) brings into focus questions of material and discursive violence, masculinity, socio-economic divisions, and the problematic relationship between reality and the mediatic representation of crime. Unlike the films previously discussed, which assign blame for increased criminality and violence to marginal men, O Homem do Ano interrogates what groups are responsible for increased societal violence, what are the motivating factors for this increase, and how masculinity is entwined in acts of violence. In raising these questions, O Homem do Ano probes dominant public narratives about crime, revealing how they contrast with the realities that are behind violence in Brazil. The protagonist, Máiquel (Murilio Benício), uses paralegal violence to expose the instability of authoritarian masculinity and the security regime built around it. O Homem do Ano questions narratives that posit the marginal male as the primary culprit of urban violence and uncovers the hidden power networks that promulgate said accounts. Through the unmasking of these networks of power, O Homem do Ano shows how violence typifies contemporary social relations. It lays bare the neurosis that infuses contemporary authoritarian masculine identities when they are constructed around violence.
Reading Arenas through Currere
Authors: Barros Sandro R. , Ocasio Rafael , Willis Angela L.
Published: September 2022

This chapter provides a reading of Arenas’s literary output vis-à-vis a curricular lens to highlight the effects of this author’s testimonial literature on the imagination of the Cuban Revolution’s past, present, and future. As this chapter argues, Arenas’s literary corpus can be read as a powerful counter-historical curriculum that successfully intervenes in the Cuban revolutionary history premised on self-referentiality and the testimonial qualities of his writing. Yet, Arenas’s truth-telling enterprise also takes place in literature’s more-than-representational and ambiguous domains, thus recasting the concept of history as a more dialogically open enterprise. Arenas’s literary imagination thrives, precisely, on ambiguity, which opens history to new meanings as his marginal phenomenology reads the nation anew in the space between mimesis and poiesis.
C-DRM: Coalesced P-TOPSIS Entropy Technique addressing Uncertainty in Cloud Service Selection
Authors: Nivitha K. , Parameshwaran Pabitha
Published: September 2022

Cloud Computing is diversified with its services exponentially and lured large number of consumers towards the technology indefinitely. It has become a highly challenging problem to satiate the user requirements. Most of the existing system ingest large search space or provide inappropriate service; hence, there is a need for the reliable and space competent service selection/ranking in the cloud environment. The proposed work introduces a novel pruning method and Dual Ranking Method (DRM) to rank the services from n services in terms of space conserving and providing reliable service quenching the user requirements as well. Dual Ranking Method (DRM) is proposed focusing on the uncertainty of user preferences along with their priorities; converting it to weights with the use of Jensen-Shannon (JS) Entropy Function. The ranking of service is employed through Priority-Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (P-TOPSIS) and space complexity is reduced by novel Utility Pruning method. The performance of the proposed work  Clustering – Dual Ranking Method (C-DRM) is estimated in terms of accuracy, Closeness Index (CI) and space complexity have been validated through case study where results outperforms the existing approaches
The influence of organizational culture and leadership on workplace bullying in organizations in Serbia
Authors: Stankov Sanja , Brtka Eleonora , Poštin Jasmina , Ilić-Kosanović Tatjana , Nikolić Milan
Published: September 2022

This paper presents the results of research into the influence and predictive effects of organizational culture and leadership (transformational, transactional and ethical leadership) on workplace bullying and mistreatment in organizations in Serbia. The moderating effect of company success on the observed relationships was also examined. The data were obtained through a survey of 536 respondents (employed by organizations in Serbia). Ethical and transformational leadership, as well as organizational culture with pronounced human orientation and in-group collectivism have all been shown to reduce workplace bullying. The strong power of ethical leadership in these processes is particularly emphasized. In contrast, transactional leadership, high power distance, and unrealistic insistence on achieving superior results increase the chances of workplace bullying. In doing so, high performance expectations have a greater effect on work-related bullying, and power distance on person-related bullying. The dimensions related to high performances and rewards have a complex, sometimes contradictory impact on workplace bullying. Organizational culture and leadership have a much stronger impact on workplace bullying in high success companies than in low success companies.
Offene Rechtswissenschaft – Chancen einer Open-Science-Transformation –

Published: September 2022

Rechtswissenschaft als Open Science verspricht einen besseren Zugang zu vielfältigerer wissenschaftlicher Literatur und Lehr- oder Lernmaterialien, transparente Schreib- und Zitierstile sowie eine vielfältigere Autor*innen-, Herausgeber*innen- und Leser*innenschaft. Diese Potentiale müssen sich am real existierenden Buchmarkt der Rechtswissenschaft messen lassen. Bisher verhindern die Orientierung an der gedruckten Monographie und die damit einhergehenden „Open-Access-Gebühren“ und etablierte Reputationslogiken viele Möglichkeiten. Dabei böte eine Open-Science-Transformation die Chance, die Versprechen der Digitalisierung weitergehender als bisher einzulösen.
Das Begehren der Mystik
Authors: Kühn Rolf
Published: September 2022

To understand mysticism as pure desire is to grasp its criteriological character as the suspension of any fulfilment - including "God" - by an object. It is thus desire as immanently living self-desire, whereby not only the tradition of negative theology since the early days of Christianity can be integrated, but also the universality of mystical experimentation in other forms of spirituality such as Buddhism and Sufism, but also in a non-religious mysticism such as that of Bataille and Lacan. In addition to an interpretation of mysticism that is currently mostly characterised by metaphorical contexts, the original "desire of mysticism" is therefore analysed radically phenomenologically in its significance for cognition and practice par excellence. As a principal test for every subjective human being in its affective corporeality, the question ultimately arises as to whether such a pre-religious "mysticism of life" cannot be relevant at all for our cultural future.

Der Ermächtigungsbeschluss der Hauptversammlung im deutschen Aktienrecht
Authors: Kleine Wortmann Luis Christopher
Published: September 2022

Capital increase, acquisition of the company's own shares, issue of convertible bonds, profit participation bonds or profit participation rights in accordance with Section 221 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). These topics have more in common than the regularity with which they appear on the agendas of shareholders' meetings. They belong to the (even larger) group of resolutions on which the shareholders' meeting can decide by means of an authorization resolution. This thesis addresses the conceptual foundations of this resolution technique and, on this basis, develops proposals for solutions to legal questions that run in parallel, but which have so far been discussed singularly for the individual authorization options.
Effect of Biofilm on Production of Poultry
Authors: Mondal Dayamoy
Published: September 2022

Attachment of bacterial biofilm to the surfaces of farm, fomites and equipments remains chance transmission of infection poultry and human through food chain. Formation of biofilm causes spoilage of poultry products during processing of eggs, meat and distribution. Biofilm may cause many bacterial species in biofilm society. The formation of biofilm deteriorates food quality, water supply system, drugs resistance, and reduces the efficacy of equipments, spread disease and lingering of disease course. Common bacteria cause biofilm in poultry farm and food industries are Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonae, Campylobacter jejuni, Streptococcus agalactiae. Formation of biofilm is under stress and regulated by several genes of bacterial. There are several methods of diagnosis of biofilm such as Roll plate method, tube method, microtitre assay, PCR assay, mass spectrometry method and Biological assay of Biofilm. Therapeutic elimination of biofilms for smooth production of poultry is chemical and environmental modifications. Water may be treated with several means, both chemical and physical ways. Food-contaminated biofilm-related treatment is done applying quaternary ammonium compounds, aldehydes, phenolics, alkyl amines, chlorine dioxide, etc. Veterinary medical therapy against biofilms is use of antibiotics with ultrasound, low electric current, phage therapy, nanodrug delivery system, antimicrobial peptides, antiadhesin, antimatrix and chelating substances.
Preparation of Water-Soluble Colloidal Chitin (WSCC) from Prawn Waste and Its Characterization
Authors: Vinothkumar Renuka , Paterson Janet
Published: September 2022

Chitin, the shell material of prawn, is a biodegradable polymer and environmentally biocompatible with low toxicity. Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin, which consists of poly-D-glucosamine units with no or few N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units. Commercial applications of these natural polymers are increasing in various sectors. Therefore, in addition to the environmental benefit, it may be economical to recover chitin from prawn waste. Chitosan is soluble in various organic acids, solvents and water. The poor solubility of chitin is the major limiting factor in its use in industrial applications. Number of studies have investigated to overcome the solubility problem of chitin. This research focuses on a new way of developing water-soluble colloidal chitin (WSCC) from prawn waste and investigates its fundamental rheological and antibacterial properties. WSCC films studied during this research may be used in food packaging or in medical applications. The use of WSCC biodegradable films will protect the environment in the future and will be an effective alternative to plastics that threatens the environment. The antibacterial study may be applied in pharmaceutical, medical and food packaging and coating applications. This research was conducted at the University of New South Wales, Australia in 2008.
Tesla’s Circular Economy Strategy to Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose and Recover Batteries
Authors: Naor Michael
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this research is to explore how Tesla is capable to materialize the circular economy futuristic vision. Specifically, it explains how batteries are recycled, reduced, reused, repurposed, and recovered in order to preserve raw materials and dimmish toxic waste disposal. Tesla extends traveling distance by supercharging stations and repurpose degraded batteries for second-life applications to energize home appliances with its solar panels. Tesla intends to substantially diminish the costs of battery production while increasing range by developing an innovative 4680 tab-less cobalt-free battery. An insight emerging from the study is that the fundamental principles upon the operations management field was established such as the concept of focused factory and Goldratt’s theory of constraints stay valid and are applicable towards establishing sustainable manufacturing process at the 21st century.
Childhood Memories
Authors: Hanisch Sarah
Published: September 2022

Chapter 2 presents the childhood memories of three cohorts of Chinese migrant women from Fuqing. The cohorts include women who migrated to Lesotho as well as women who stayed in Fuqing. Despite their different migration trajectories, these women used bitterness and sweetness as discursive concepts to make sense of their experiences with the Chinese state’s modernity project and migration during their childhood. These experiences are constitutive to the different routes to social mobility which they pursued in later life.
Reflecting on Past Choices
Authors: Hanisch Sarah
Published: September 2022

Chapter 6 shows where the women’s searches for sweetness had taken by 2018. Drawing on conversations in Xiamen, Fuqing and Shanghai, it offers a reflection on the diverse meanings ascribed to returning, staying, or leaving. For the women, staying in China paid off more in the long run. Among my informants from Lesotho the younger ones still had a chance to start a new life in China. The older generation, on the other hand, felt that they could not start all over again in China.
Public Health Preparedness in Appalachia
Authors: Riggs Margaret A. , Riley James Alan
Published: September 2022

Though people rarely think of crisis prevention as integral to public health, Appalachia’s long history with natural and manmade disasters illustrates why we should more intentionally link the two. Public health emergencies catalyze a hazard cycle—from preparedness and mitigation to response and recovery—which produces important lessons for health practitioners and policy-makers. Community resilience improves where individuals spur social change in response to these lessons. This chapter explores Appalachia’s developing response to the COVID-19 pandemic to illustrate how states like Kentucky and West Virginia have leveraged knowledges from past crises to mitigate the effects of disease outbreak. Though Appalachia’s high rates of obesity and other chronic conditions make it especially vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic, these states’ leaders have successfully built community partnerships to advance evidence-based policies. This pandemic response effort provides much-needed hope for the region and indicates its resilience will help it withstand future challenges.
Operation Shingle
Authors: Dworak David D.
Published: September 2022

By the middle of October 1944, Allied hopes for a quick advance to Rome were fading. Chapter six covers the amphibious assault on Anzio, Operation Shingle, an attempt to land a large Allied force behind the German defensive line. The VI Corps commander, MG John Lucas, took a cautious approach upon landing at Anzio, resulting in prolonged beach operations. The chapter details the landings, the decision to advance to Rome (or not), and describes how the Americans adjusted logistics concepts to support forces that could not advance inland. This is also the period in which the North African Theater (NATOUSA) begins consolidation efforts as the Allies transition resource prioritization away from the Mediterranean to the European theater of war.

Joannesia princeps, popularmente conhecida como cutieira, é uma Euphorbiaceae endêmica do Brasil, cuja madeira é utilizada para diversos fins industriais. As sementes possuem aproximadamente 37% de óleo útil para fins industrias e medicinais, servem de alimento para cutias (Dasyprocta azarae), além de apresentarem destacada importância na sucessão ecológica em áreas degradas. Objetivou-se estudar a germinação, fenologia e a morfometria de frutos, sementes e plântulas de Joannesia princeps. Foram utilizados 1000 frutos de Joannesia princeps colhidos de 40 matrizes de Mata Atlântica do Entorno do Caparaó, que compõem um bosque existente no Horto Municipal da cidade de Alegre - ES, nos quais foram analisados os atributos qualitativos em relação à morfologia. Na análise biométrica, foram analisados: comprimento, diâmetro e espessura. As análises das plântulas foram conduzidas periodicamente no 6°, 7º, 14º, 21º, 28º, 35º e 42º dia após a germinação, utilizando-se quatro repetições de 15 plântulas normais e sadias para as descrições. Observou-se que as raízes mudaram o tom de sua coloração de esbranquiçada para branco-amarelada entre o 14º para o 21º dia após a germinação (DAG), enquanto o hipocótilo, nos estádios iniciais, apresentava coloração avermelhada passando para verde após o 14º DAG. Os demais órgãos não apresentaram mudanças consideráveis, contudo, biometricamente, todos os órgãos apresentaram acréscimo nas suas dimensões, conforme a evolução do desenvolvimento. Os aspectos morfológicos descritos e ilustrados demonstraram-se estáveis e, portanto, informativos para a caracterização e identificação da espécie em processo de germinação e nos primeiros estádios de desenvolvimento.

A andirobeira, Carapa guianensis Aublet, é uma árvore de expressiva importância socioeconômica, especialmente para as comunidades extrativistas na região Norte do Brasil, as quais exploram a madeira e, principalmente, o óleo extraído das sementes. Em janeiro de 2016, foi observado um intenso desfolhamento em andirobeiras localizadas no município de Rio Branco, Acre, causado por lagartas de lepidópteros. Vinte espécimes em fase de pupa foram coletados e acondicionados em gaiola telada, visando a obtenção de adultos. Emergiram cinco mariposas fêmeas, as quais foram identificadas como Acharia sp. (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae). Ademais, também foram capturadas duas espécies de parasitoides, identificadas como Baryceros sibine (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) e Conura sibinecola (Blanchard) (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae). Assim, se faz o primeiro registro de Acharia sp. em andirobeira no estado do Acre, bem como os primeiros registros das duas espécies de parasitoides associados a Acharia no estado do Acre, bem como no Brasil.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma análise de regressão do afilamento do fuste de Corymbia citriodora. Para isso, foram cubadas 24 árvores-amostra abatidas disponibilizando os dados necessários ao ajuste de 46 modelos de afilamento de efeito fixo (EF), os quais foram avaliados por meio de uma detalhada análise de regressão baseando-se nos critérios estatísticos: análise gráfica dos resíduos, erro padrão residual, coeficiente de determinação ajustado, delineamento em blocos casualizados no esquema de parcelas subdivididas com posterior aplicação do teste Dunnett, desvio absoluto médio, Raiz quadrada do erro médio, soma dos quadrados dos resíduos relativos, desvio padrão das diferenças, critério de informação de Akaike e soma de quadrados dos resíduos. O modelo EF que mais se sobressaiu, dentre os 46 avaliados, foi ajustado incluindo-se os efeitos aleatórios da classe diamétrica e da razão H/D (CHD), resultando em uma equação de efeito misto (EM). Com isso, as equações obtidas EF e EM foram avaliadas adotando-se, também, os critérios estatísticos referentes à significância da estimativa dos coeficientes de regressão, pressuposições da regressão quanto à normalidade, homoscedasticidade e independência de resíduos e teste da razão da máxima verossimilhança. Concluiu-se por um modelo de melhor desempenho que foi do tipo expoente-forma não linear com inclusão do efeito aleatório CHD, havendo expressiva superioridade tanto na precisão quanto na acurácia da equação EM frente a de EF.

Estudos que visam quantificar e analisar a dinâmica do crescimento da vegetação, fornecem informações para o manejo e conservação das florestas ao longo do tempo. Sendo assim, o objetivo principal deste trabalho foi analisar a dinâmica e o crescimento em área basal, em diferentes intervalos (2008-2016; 2008-2017 e 2008-2019), em  duas áreas com diferentes históricos de perturbação e uso, no município de Floresta - PE. Foram instaladas  40 parcelas permanentes de 20 m x 20 m, com coleta de dados do ano de 2008 até 2019, em duas áreas, A1: menos conservada e A2: mais conservada, em que foram medidos os indivíduos e fustes com circunferência a 1,30 m do solo ≥ 6 cm. Foi verificado o número de indivíduos e fustes por espécies, calculado a área basal nos diferentes intervalos, taxas de ingressos, mortalidade, crescimento bruto e líquido, incluindo e excluindo ingressos. Foi constatado decréscimo em número de indivíduos e fustes ao longo dos anos para ambas as áreas, no entanto, houve aumento na área basal da A1, 2008: 3,1 m2.ha-1; 2016: 3,8 m2.ha-1; 2017: 3,9 m2.ha-1 e 2019: 4,6 m2.ha-1, já na A2 ocorreu o inverso, com área basal inicial de 8,3 m2.ha-1; 6,4 m2.ha-1; 6,4 m2.ha-1; e 7,0 m2.ha-1, respectivamente, verificou-se ainda que nos anos de menos chuvas a área basal teve valor médio menor, o inverso é verdadeiro, maior volume precipitado significa aumento de área basal. Apesar da A1 ter se sobressaído, as altas taxas de mortalidade de fustes e indivíduos em todos os intervalos estudados fez com que a área basal diminuísse gradativamente, o crescimento líquido foi afetado, além disso nos anos de menores precipitações pluviométricas houve valores menores da área basal, evidenciando a dependência climática, impactando na dinâmica florestal.
