Pair-instability Supernova Simulations: Progenitor Evolution, Explosion, and Light Curves
Authors: Gilmer Matthew S. , Kozyreva Alexandra , Hirschi Raphael , Fröhlich Carla , Yusof Norhasliza
Published: September 2017

In recent years, the viability of the pair-instability supernova (PISN) scenario for explaining superluminous supernovae has all but disappeared except for a few slowly-evolving examples. However, PISNe are not predicted to be superluminous throughout the bulk of their mass range. In fact, it is more likely that the first PISN we see (if we have not seen one already) will not be superluminous. Here, we present hydrodynamic simulations of PISNe for four stellar models with unique envelope properties spanning the PISN mass range. In addition, we compute synthetic light curves (LCs) for comparison with current and future observations. We also investigate, in the context of our most massive model, the prospect of mixing in the supernova ejecta, alleviating discrepancies between current PISN models and the remaining superluminous candidate events. To this end, we present the first published 3D hydrodynamic simulations of PISNe. After achieving convergence between 1D, 2D, and 3D simulations, we examine mixing in the supernova ejecta and its affect on the bolometric LC. We observe slight deviations from spherical symmetry, which increase with the number of dimensions. We find no significant effects on the bolometric LC; however, we conclude that mixing between the silicon and oxygen rich layers caused by the Rayleigh–Taylor instability may affect spectra.
Correlation between class 1 integron of Escherichia coli and multidrug resistance in lower respiratory tract infection
Authors: Wang Yu , Kong Bingbing , Yang Wenping , Zhao Xin
Published: September 2017

Introduction: Class 1 integrons are mobile genetic elements considered to be responsible for the transfer of multidrug resistance. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of type 1 integrons in multidrug-resistantEscherichiacolifrom hospital-acquired lower respiratory tract infections.

Methodology: Clinical strains of E. coli were isolated from patients with hospital-acquired lower respiratory tract infections in the emergency intensive care unit from January to December 2014. Drug sensitivity testing was performed using the Kirby-Bauer method. The combination disk method was used to detect extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was used to detect the intI1 gene.

Results: Among 58 E. coli strains, resistance to β-lactam antibiotics ranked as follows: imipenem (0.0%), cefoperazone/sulbactam sodium (25.9%), ceftazidime (37.9%), and cefepime (39.7%); other β-lactam antibiotic resistance rates were all > 50%. The resistance rates to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and cotrimoxazole were32.8%, 63.8%, 70.7%, and 81.0%, respectively. In total, 31 (53.4%) isolates were positive for class 1 integron and carried 4 different sizes of amplification fragments: 800, 1,600, 1,900, and 2,600 bp. Among 43 ESBL-positive isolates, 27 (62.8%) also carried class 1 integron; among 15 ESBL-negative isolates, 4 carried class 1 integron (26.7%). The positive rate for class 1 integron in ESBL-producing strains was significantly higher than that in non-ESBL-producing strains. The rates of resistance of integron-positive isolates to ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, and cotrimoxazole were significantly higher than those in integron-negative isolates.

Conclusions: Class 1 integrons are widely distributed in E. coli and are associated with multidrug resistance.
An Algerian perspective on non-typhoidal Salmonella infection
Authors: Djeghout Bilal , Ayachi Ammar , Paglietti Bianca , Langridge Gemma C. , Rubino Salvatore
Published: September 2017

Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) represents a leading cause of food-borne disease worldwide. It is a global public health concern: more than 94 million cases and 115,000 deaths are reported every year, with a disproportionate impact in developing countries. The prevalence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella strains is another major health concern which affects antimicrobial treatment, as many studies report that infections caused by MDR strains are more severe than those caused by susceptible strains. In Algeria, NTS represent one of the primary causes of salmonellosis in both humans and food animal production, especially poultry. Epidemiological surveillance systems and monitoring programs for Salmonella infections are essential requirements to provide data useful for the effective detection and control of Salmonella outbreaks. The present review will supply a perspective on NTS infection, pathogenesis and antimicrobial resistance with a focus on the epidemiology of salmonellosis in Algeria.
The Companion Dissertation: Enriching the Doctoral Experience
Authors: Robinson Erin M. , Tagher Catherine Gannon
Published: September 2017

Background:

The completion of a doctoral dissertation has traditionally been an individual journey. Innovative approaches, such as the companion dissertation, are helping to shape doctoral education. The companion dissertation is a collaborative inquiry among two or more doctoral students who share mutual research interests.

Method:

Lack of innovative approaches to doctoral dissertation completion led to the development of a companion dissertation. Generative leadership, specifically focused on processes that influence interaction, served as a useful framework to support this form of innovation.

Results:

The companion dissertation process yielded consideration of differing perspectives, richer data, stronger data analysis, and robust research outcomes. Most important, this approach to research fostered student-to-student connectedness, which was essential to dissertation completion.

Conclusion:

Currently, the attrition rate for PhD students is approximately 30%. Therefore, it becomes imperative to consider innovative approaches to completion of the dissertation process. [

Concepts applied in daily practice in administration of medicines via nasogastric tube by the nursing team
Authors: Lopes Ingra Monique Duarte , Silva Edson Antonio Alves da , Oliveira Daniela Ferreira Miyata de , Sanches Andréia Cristina Conegero
Published: September 2017

The study aimed to assess the current situation of medication administration via nasogastric tube (VNGT) and identify weaknesses in the process. As a tool, the application of questionnaires to the professionals of the nursing service was used. The questionnaire contained questions and each of them, during the correction, was assigned a specific score. The participant could according to the evaluation system get a grade of 0 to 100 points. Among the participants, 66.7% stated that they had already received some guidance on medication administration via the tube, and after correction and assignment of the notes, the averages obtained were: 47.3 points by the nurses; 38.7 points by nursing technicians; 34.5 points for resident nurses; and 37.0 points by the nursing assistants. The findings of the study indicate that there is a difference between the usual practice and the recommended practice in the literature and the professionals knowledge about administration of medication VNGT is still limited. The insertion of the pharmacist in the multidisciplinary team and disseminating knowledge on incompatibilities, interactions and reactions are of great importance for the improvement of this scenario.
Analysis of Nonlinear Heat Transfer in Solids of Various Geometries with Variable Thermal Conductivity and Heat Source
Authors: Moitsheki Raseelo Joel , Makinde Oluwole Daniel
Published: September 2017

In this paper we consider heat transfer in a hot body with different geometries. Here, the thermal conductivity and internal heat generation are both temperature-dependent. This assumption rendered the model considered to be nonlinear. We assume that thermal conductivity is given by a power law function. We employ the preliminary group classification to determine the cases of internal heat generation for which the principal Lie algebra extends by one. Exact solutions are constructed for the case when thermal conductivity is a differential consequence of internal heat generation term. We derive the approximate numerical solutions for the cases where exact solutions are difficult to construct or are nonexistent. The effects of parameters appearing in the model on temperature profile are studied.

Authors: Sulochana C. , Ashwinkumar G.P , Sandeep Naramgari
Published: September 2017

In this study, we investigated the 2D MHD flow of a dissipative Maxwell nanofluid past an elongated sheet with uneven heat source/sink, Brownian moment and thermophoresis effects. The flow governing PDEs are transmuted into nonlinear ODEs adopting the suitable similarity transmissions. Further, the RK-4 technique is employed to acquire the numerical solutions. The impact of pertinent parameters such as thermal radiation, frictional heating, irregular heat source/sink, biot number, Brownian moment and thermophoresis on the flow quantities such as velocity, thermal and concentration fields likewise friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates are bestowed with the succour of graphs and tables. Dual nature is witnessed for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid cases. It is noticed that the heat and mass transfer rate in Newtonian fluid larger as compared with non-Newtonian fluid.
Analysis of Nonlinear Heat Transfer in a Cylindrical Solid with Two-Step Exothermic Kinetics and Radiative Heat Loss
Authors: Tahiru Solomon , Makinde Oluwole Daniel
Published: September 2017

This paper examines the problem of nonlinear heat transfer in a cylindrical solid of combustible materials with two-step exothermic kinetics and radiative heat loss to the ambient surrounding. The reactant diffusion and temperature dependent pre-exponential factors with respect to sensitized, Arrhenius, and bimolecular kinetics are taken into account in the model energy balanced equation. Both regular perturbation method and numerical shooting technique coupled with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg iteration scheme are employed to tackle the nonlinear model problem. The effects of various thermophysical parameters on the reactive cylindrical solid temperature, Nusselt number and thermal stability are discussed quantitatively with the help of computational illustrations. It is found that radiative heat loss enhances thermal stability of the material while the two-step exothermic kinetics promotes the onset of thermal instability.
Do the writing methodologies of Greco-Roman historians have an impact on Luke’s writing order?
Authors: Fung Benjamin W.W. , Spencer Aida B. , Viljoen Francois P.
Published: September 2017

Luke in the preface of his Gospel says that he is going to write ‘in an orderly account’ (Lk 1:3). However, scholars have no consensus about the kind of order Luke is seeking. Many believe that Luke writes as a historian. Because Greco-Roman historians seem to have a practice to indicate in their prefaces the writing methodologies of their writings, this article aims to ascertain Luke’s writing order through a comparison of Luke’s two prefaces with those in the writings of the Greco-Roman historians. This article proposes that Luke most likely adopts the common writing methodologies of the Greco-Roman historians and writes in chronological order.

Published: September 2017

Chagas disease results in the largest burden, in terms of disability-adjusted-life-years, of any parasitic disease in the Americas. Monitoring Chagas disease among migrants is critical to controlling its spread and to serving the needs of the migrant community. Therefore, we determined the prevalence and correlates of Chagas disease in regional and international migrant populations at the Mexico/Guatemala border. Data were collected as part of a larger study of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and migration. Participants were a sample of recent regional and international migrants who used an illicit substance or had recent problem drinking. Trypanosoma cruzi infection was classified as testing positive on two different enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Interviewer-administered surveys captured sociodemographics, migration history, Chagas disease knowledge, and access to care. We enrolled 389 recent migrants, and the prevalence of Chagas disease was 3.1%. Only 19% of the participants reported having ever heard of the disease and less than 1% had been previously tested. Trypanosoma cruzi–positive participants were more likely to have been born in a rural area or town than a city (92% yes versus 59% no, P = 0.02) and have recently lived in a house with a makeshift roof (33% yes versus 8% no, P < 0.01), walls (42% yes versus 13% no, P < 0.01), or floor (50% yes versus 21% no, P < 0.02), or cinderblock walls (92% yes versus 63% no, P = 0.04). With migration rapidly changing the distribution of Chagas disease, more work needs to be done to create targeted surveillance programs and provide access to affordable treatment among Latin American migrants.
Is Visceral Leishmaniasis Different in Immunocompromised Patients Without Human Immunodeficiency Virus? A Comparative, Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Analysis
Authors: Ramos José M. , León Rafael , Merino Esperanza , Montero Marta , Aljibe Asunción , Blanes Marino , Reus Sergio , Boix Vicente , Salavert Miguel , Portilla Joaquín
Published: September 2017

Although visceral leishmaniasis (VL) can affect immunocompromised patients, data from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection context are limited, and the characteristics of VL in other immunosuppression scenarios are not well defined. A retrospective review of all cases of VL in immunocompromised patients from January 1997 to December 2014 in two Spanish hospitals on the Mediterranean coast was performed. We included 18 transplant recipients (kidney: 7, liver: 4, lung: 3, heart: 2, and blood marrow: 2), 12 patients with other causes of immunosuppression (myasthenia gravis: 3 and rheumatoid arthritis: 2), and 73 VL HIV-positive patients. Fever was more common in transplant patients (94.4%) and patients with other types of immunosuppression (100%) than in HIV-positive individuals (73.3%). Hepatomegaly was less common in transplant recipients (27.8%) and patients with other types of immunosuppression (41.7%) compared with HIV-positive patients (69.9%) (P = 0.01; P = 0.001, respectively). Patients with other types of immunosuppression had a median leukocyte count of 1.5 × 109/L, significantly lower than HIV-positive patients (2.5 × 109/L) (P = 0.04). Serology was more commonly positive in nontransplant immunosuppressed individuals (75%) and transplant recipients (78.6%) than in HIV-patients (13.8%) (P < 0.001). Antimonial therapy was rarely used in transplant recipients (1.9%) and never in patients with other immunosuppressive conditions, whereas 34.2% of HIV-positive patients received it (P = 0.05 and P = 0.01, respectively). Mortality was 16.7% in both transplant recipients and patients with other immunosuppressive conditions and 15.1% in HIV-positive patients. The features of VL may be different in immunosuppressed patients, with more fever and less hepatomegaly and leukopenia than in HIV-infected patients.

Published: September 2017

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that refugees at risk of Loa loa infection be tested for microfilaria before treatment with ivermectin. We report observational results of this approach in African refugees in Texas. Daytime blood smears were performed for microfilaria on at-risk African refugees who arrived in Texas from July 1, 2014 through December 30, 2016. Clinics were asked if there were any adverse events reported among those who received ivermectin. Of the 422 persons screened, 346 (82%) were born in L. loa–endemic countries, with 332 (96%) of these being born in the Democratic Republic of Congo. No smears detected microfilaria, and all received presumptive ivermectin with no reports of significant adverse events. In this investigation, the prevalence of significant microfilarial load in sub-Saharan African refugees appeared to be low, and ivermectin treatment was safe and well tolerated.
Calcification in a marginal sea – influence of seawater [Ca2+]
and carbonate chemistry on bivalve shell formation
Authors: Thomsen Jörn , Ramesh Kirti , Sanders Trystan , Bleich Markus , Melzner Frank
Published: September 2017

Abstract. In estuarine coastal systems such as the Baltic Sea, mussels suffer from low salinity which limits their distribution. Anthropogenic climate change is expected to cause further desalination which will lead to local extinctions of mussels in the low saline areas. It is commonly accepted that mussel distribution is limited by osmotic stress. However, along the salinity gradient environmental conditions for biomineralization are successively becoming more adverse as a result of reduced [Ca2+] and dissolved inorganic carbon (CT) availability. In larvae, calcification is an essential process starting during early development with formation of the prodissoconch I (PD I) shell which is completed under optimal conditions within 2 days. Experimental manipulations of seawater [Ca2+] start to impair PD I formation in Mytilus larvae at concentrations below 3 mM, which corresponds to conditions present in the Baltic at salinities below 8 g kg-1. In addition, lowering dissolved inorganic carbon to critical concentrations (

Literary Modernism, Anti-Semitism, Jewishness and the Anxiety of Assimilation in Interwar Hungary
Authors: Szolláth Dávid
Published: September 2017

In this paper I will provide a brief overview of early twentieth-century, Hungarian history in order to examine how anti-Semitism and anti-modernism influenced modernism’s reception in fin- de- siècle Hungary. In 1908 the most significant Hungarian literary review of the twentieth century was founded by Hugo Ignotus, Miksa Fenyő and Ernő Osvát, all of whom were assimilated Jews. The journal’s title, Nyugat, [‘West’] unambiguously marked the editors’ orientation and program of accelerating cultural modernization by reviewing and translating Western European works. For conservatives this aim of transferring aestheticism, late Symbolism and decadence was regarded as an attack against the nation’s patriotic traditions. Anxiety surrounding the Jewry’s purported “failed assimilation” was compounded by the fear that a foreign culture would have an undue impact on Hungarian literature. It is my aim to analyze both the first and second wave of modernism in Hungary so as to reveal the analogous relationship between the argument that Western European modernism is alien to the Hungarian literary style and language and the anti-Semitic argument stating that assimilation of the Jews is superficial.

The Acta Comparationis Litterarum Universarum (1877–1888) from the Perspective of its British Collaborators
Authors: Codău Annamária
Published: September 2017

Within a contemporary Hungarian literary discourse that emphasized national values, the first international journal of comparative literature, Acta Comparationis Litterarum Universarum (ACLU) proved quite incomprehensible. I therefore argue that ACLU’s aims and constant struggles are better understood from the viewpoint of its authors originating from beyond Hungary, such as that held by the English collaborator, E. D. Butler. A librarian at the British Museum whose interest in antiquarianism and orientalism may have fueled his involvement in ACLU’s translation projects, Butler can be considered one of the most important channels for propagating Hungarian literature in England. A comparison of Hungarian and English perspectives reveals how differently ACLU’S goals were interpreted, how comparative literature and Hungarian Studies/Hungarology were balanced according to the project proposed by the journal’s editors, Meltzl and Brassai. This analysis further examines how this negotiation surrounding the journal’s interpretation came to determine the early period of institutional comparative literature. Similarly, the Hungarian and English press’s reactions to this project reveal the paradoxical position ACLU occupied; for Hungarians, ACLU was not “Hungarian” enough, while it was precisely this “Hungarianness” that attracted the English. My paper discusses the underlying reasons for this situation by examining how Hungarians, the English and ACLU addressed questions in folklore, Hungarian and comparative literature studies, thereby providing additional insight into the journal’s concept of world literature and its anthropological approach.
The Case of Mór Jókai and the Detective Story
Authors: Hajdu Péter
Published: September 2017

While from the viewpoint of typology it is often stated that the genre of detective fiction originated with the work of Edgar Allan Poe, this statement can be challenged from the standpoint of literary or reception history. Several recent histories of detective fiction emphasize the importance of employing a wider generic view, yet they hardly expand their perspective beyond English literary traditions. This paper examines how the usual, theorized requirement for detective fiction concerning the work’s exclusive focus on the crime committed and its detection was not characteristic of nineteenth-century detective stories written in Central Europe. Even though the detective story pattern is recognizable in Mór Jókai’s short story, “A három királyok csillaga” [‘The Star of the Magi’], it does not dominate the entire depiction, but rather represents one strand woven into a tragic love story as well as the history of national resistance, aspects bearing equal significance in this very sophisticated work.

The paper presents simulations of the state of stress and deformation of the Kilo class submarine hull loaded from pressure wave of non-contact mine explosion. To accomplish the task the finite element method was used. Pressure wave was described by T. L. Geers and K. S. Hunter model. The way of modeling the pressure wave using the acoustic medium implemented to CAE programs was shown. To describe the material an elastic-plastic model of Jonson-Cook which takes into account the speed of deformation was used. The paper presents pressure distribution on the Kilo type submarine hull exposed on 100 kg of TNT explosion load in front of the bow of the ship.
Perceforest ou cent inscriptions à ponctuer
Authors: Hériché-Pradeau Sandrine
Published: September 2017

L’auteur du Perceforest, le plus vaste roman de la littérature médiévale, évoque au cours de la narration des inscriptions qui sont présentées comme des objets épigraphiques retranscrits, ainsi qu’un grand nombre de pièces lyriques prises en charge par des personnages. L’article s’attache à analyser et à comparer, à partir d’exemples précis, le traitement matériel qui est réservé à ces deux catégories d’insertions, en prose comme en vers, dans les manuscrits (Paris, BnF, fr. 345-348, A ; Paris, BnF, fr. 106-109, B ; Paris, Arsenal 3483-3494, C) et dans l’imprimé de 1528 (Galliot du Pré, Nicolas Cousteau). Il démontre que les inscriptions en prose font l’objet d’une présentation plus variée et souple dans les manuscrits grâce au recours à un plus large éventail de ponctèmes. Il met aussi en évidence le fait que les copistes n’ont pas l’habitude de souligner avec les mêmes indices matériels les insertions versifiées selon qu’il s’agit d’une inscription ou d’une pièce lyrique, même si la présentation des inscriptions en vers dans certains manuscrits tels que celui de Jacques d’Armagnac (Paris, BnF, fr. 107) confirme l’idée que la ponctuation peut être conditionnée par un facteur décoratif. Les inscriptions en vers et les lais lyriques font en revanche l’objet d’une mise en page et en espace strictement identique dans l’imprimé. Cette égalité nouvelle de traitement peut être l’indice que prime désormais, au début du xvie siècle, le caractère formel, et non sémantique, des inscriptions en vers qui sont perçues comme des monuments pérennes.
Fungi found in Mediterranean and North Sea sponges: how specific are they?

Fungi and other eukaryotes represent one of the last frontiers of microbial diversity in the sponge holobiont. In this study we employed pyrosequencing of 18S ribosomal RNA gene amplicons containing the V7 and V8 hypervariable regions to explore the fungal diversity of seven sponge species from the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. For most sponges, fungi were present at a low relative abundance averaging 0.75% of the 18S rRNA gene reads. In total, 44 fungal OTUs (operational taxonomic units) were detected in sponges, and 28 of these OTUs were also found in seawater. Twenty-two of the sponge-associated OTUs were identified as yeasts (mainly Malasseziales), representing 84% of the fungal reads. Several OTUs were related to fungal sequences previously retrieved from other sponges, but all OTUs were also related to fungi from other biological sources, such as seawater, sediments, lakes and anaerobic digesters. Therefore our data, supported by currently available data, point in the direction of mostly accidental presence of fungi in sponges and do not support the existence of a sponge-specific fungal community.

Red pandas are known to be highly susceptible to endoparasites, which can have a prominent impact on the population dynamics of this endangered species. There are very limited published reports on prevalence and risk of parasites in wild populations of red panda, especially localized reports. This study attempts to provide an in-depth insight of the status of endoparasites in red pandas, which is critical for strengthening conservation efforts. A total of 272 fecal samples were collected through systematic sampling across the red panda distribution range in Nepal and coprological examination was completed using standard techniques. It was followed by an estimation of prevalence and mean intensity of parasites, as well as statistical analysis, which was carried out using R statistical software. Parasite prevalence was documented in 90.80% (n = 247) out of 272 samples examined which includes seven different species along with three genera of parasites belonging to Protozoans (3 species), Cestodes (1 genus, 1 species) and Nematodes (2 genera, 3 species). Nematodes predominated in all infected samples (87.62%). Prevalence ofAncyclostoma duodenale(n = 227, 70.06%), having a mean intensity of 3.45 ± 2.88 individuals per sample, was observed, followed byAscaris lumbricoides(n = 19, 5.86%) andEntamoeba histolytica(n = 24, 7.41%). Eight variables for assessing the determinants of infestation were tested: protected areas; non-protected areas; aspect; elevation; slope; and distance to water sources, herding stations, and settlements. Only the settlement displayed significant association (β= −1534e−04,t =  − 2.192,p = 0.0293) though each parasite species displayed dissimilar association with different variables. This study indicates the urgent need of improving existing herding practice through habitat zonation, rotational grazing, medication of livestock, and prohibition of open defecation within and around red panda habitat.
Hot Ion Flows in the Distant Magnetotail: ARTEMIS Observations From Lunar Orbit to ∼−200 RE
Authors: Artemyev A. V. , Angelopoulos V. , Runov A. , Vasko I. Y.
Published: September 2017

Plasma energization in Earth's magnetotail is supported by acceleration processes in (and around) magnetic reconnection regions. Hot plasma flows and strong electromagnetic waves, generated by magnetic energy release during reconnection, transport energy necessary for current system intensification and particle acceleration in the inner magnetosphere. Earth's magnetotail configuration includes two main reconnection regions (X lines): the near‐Earth X line, which has been well studied by several multispacecraft missions, and the distant X line, which has been much less investigated. In this paper, we utilize the unique data set gathered by two ARTEMIS spacecraft in 2010 at radial distances between lunar orbit and ∼200 RE (Earth radii). We identify an X line at around ∼80 RE and collect statistics on hot plasma flows observed around and beyond this distance. Ion spectra within these flows are well fitted by a power law with the exponential tail starting above an energy ϵ0∼ 2–5 keV. Assuming that these spectra are originated at the distant X line, we examine the characteristics of the acceleration at the distant tail reconnection region.

Neil Aggett was born in 1953 in the district of Nanyuki in Kenya, and moved to South Africa with his family at the age of 10. He attended a private school at Kingswood College in Grahamstown, and went on to study medicine at the University of Cape Town. Increasingly radicalized, he disapproved of the apartheid society in which he was raised, and rejected the privileges that came with being white and middle class. As a medical student, Aggett lived in a laborer's cottage without any electricity or hot water, and served his internship at black public hospitals in Umtata and Tembisa. Once he completed his studies in 1977, he worked at the Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto.

Howard Zinn came to national prominence with the publication of his bestseller
A People's History of the United States from 1492 to the Present
(1980). The success of the book is first and foremost a testimony to the social transformations of the 1960s, and the intellectual revisions which ensued. Though anchored in the last century, Zinn remains a political essayist (
The Progressive

Anarchism, Argentina
Authors: Morse Chuck
Published: September 2017

Argentine anarchists built one of the largest, most dynamic anarchist movements in the world and played a pivotal role in that country's history from the 1890s to the 1930s. Though their numbers are greatly reduced today, traces of the movement's heyday are evident in the Argentine state's corporatist commitments and in a highly egalitarian counterculture.
Anarchism, China
Authors: Cairns Daniel
Published: September 2017

Anarchism is a significant though neglected trend in Chinese history. Proto‐anarchist ideals that developed during the Warring States Period in works such as the
Zhuangzi
and the writing of Bao Jingyan became integral to traditional Chinese philosophy, followed later by a modernist anarchism that thrived as a set of social, political, and ethical ideas during the revolutionary period. Despite the proto‐anarchist legacy, most studies of Chinese anarchism limit their scope to the early twentieth century, focusing on the movement's peak, from 1907 to 1919 – when anarchism was the most influential radical socialist trend in China – and on its marginalization from 1920 to 1949. Post‐1949 history is without explicitly anarchist activity, yet because of its earlier influence, anarchism's history is a helpful tool with which to analyze both the communist regime and the post‐Mao economic reforms.

Authors: Kuhn Gabriel
Published: September 2017

A defining moment for the anarchist movement in Sweden was a 1908 split within the Socialdemokratiska Arbetarparti, the country's social democratic party. When Hinke Bergegren (1861–1936), widely regarded as Sweden's most influential early anarchist (he later turned to Bolshevism), and other radicals were excluded, most members of the party's original youth organization, Ungsocialisterna (Young Socialists), distanced themselves from the social democratic leadership and formed Ungsocialistiska Partiet (Young Socialist Party), an anti‐parliamentarian organization with strong anarchist leanings. In 1910 followed the foundation of the predominantly anarchosyndicalist workers' federation Sveriges Arbetares Centralorganisation (Central Organization of Sweden's Workers) (SAC). Among the organization's earliest supporters was German anarchosyndicalist Augustin Souchy (1892–1984), who lived in Swedish exile during World War I. In the 1920s SAC counted almost 40,000 members. Meanwhile, the famed Sweden‐born International Workers of the World (IWW) agitator and songwriter Joe Hill (born Joel Emmanuel Hägglund, 1879) was executed in the US in 1915.

Switzerland was one of the birthplaces of anarchism as a political branch of the workers' movement in the late nineteenth century. Its position as a European crossroads, a destination for anarchists expelled from other countries and the site for the 1866 Geneva congress that founded the International Workingmen's Association (IWA) (retrospectively called the First International), would shape Swiss anarchism.
Anti‐Corn Law Agitation, Britain, 19th Century
Authors: Pickering Paul A.
Published: September 2017

Formed in 1839, the Anti‐Corn Law League offered “free trade” as a panacea and presented itself as the vanguard of the emerging industrial middle class, whose interests lay in ending protection and opening new markets abroad. The immediate object of the League's campaign was the repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws. A tariff barrier that was introduced ostensibly to keep the price of grain crops high following the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars in 1815, the Corn Laws buttressed the political and economic power of Britain's landowning aristocracy. The opponents of the Corn Laws sought to introduce the ideas of free trade and economic liberalism into the mainstream of political discourse in Britain. The Corn Laws, they believed, were a tax on food that created demand for higher wages paid for from their profits. More importantly, they were a trade barrier that provoked foreign governments into retaliatory measures against British manufactured goods, particularly textiles.
Anti‐Nuclear Protests, Marshall Islands
Authors: Corfield Justin
Published: September 2017

The Marshall Islands were ruled by Germany until World War I, when they were taken over by Japan and ruled under a mandate from the League of Nations. After World War II the US navy took control of them, with the United States controlling them as a United Nations Trust Territory from 1947. Between 1946 and 1958 the United States used the Marshall Islands for nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll and at Eniwetak.

Austro‐Marxism
Authors: Goodrich Robert
Published: September 2017

Noted for its theoretical engagement with contemporary philosophical and social scientific thought and for its political activity up to 1934 in “Red Vienna,” Austro‐Marxism developed after 1900 out of the Viennese socialist student movement. Its members included M. Adler, O. Bauer, R. Hilferding, G. Eckstein, K. Renner, and others. The movement coalesced in 1903 with the Fabian‐style association
Zukunft
(
Future
) and the publication of
Marx Studien
(1904–34) and
Der Kampf
(
The Struggle
) (1907–34).
