Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans? Historical metaphors and mythical realities in Spike Lee’s When the Levees Broke
Authors: Gebhardt Nicholas
Published: December 2013

In many of Spike Lee’s films, jazz is a medium of cultural transformation, enabling African-Americans and other ethnic and racial groups to understand the cultural legacies on which their collective identity depends, by reconciling them for better or worse to their common history as citizens of the United States. The recurrent theme in all of Lee’s films is the cultural consequences of excluding African-Americans from that history, especially given their enormous influence on it, and the losses and distortions that necessary follow from such exclusions. In When the Levees Broke (2006), his four-part television documentary about the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, Lee transforms this theme into a powerful story of individual and collective cultural rebirth through jazz. In this essay, I want to offer some initial thoughts on how Lee connects this story with the dominant historical metaphors and mythical realities of nationhood in the United States, especially those that identify jazz with the themes of displacement, homelessness and homecoming.
Jam sessions in Manhattan as rituals
Authors: Pinheiro Ricardo Nuno Futre
Published: December 2013

This paper addresses the relationships between jazz jam sessions in Manhattan and the concepts of scene, ritual and race. These issues emerged during research that, from an ethnomusicological perspective, focused on the role of jam sessions in Manhattan as a privileged context for learning the performative styles of jazz, the development of the creative process, the construction of professional networks and the establishment of the status of musicians. Starting from the analysis of five venues of jazz performance in Manhattan, New York, arguably the most important stage for jazz performance in the world, I demonstrate the importance of participating in jam sessions in the professional careers of jazz musicians by examining their relationship with this performative occasion.
Hot and cool from Buenos Aires to Chicago
Authors: Raffo Dewar Andrew
Published: December 2013

‘Dance under the stars to the music of 1924’ read the handbill—but it is not 1924, it is 1958—and Buenos Aires, Argentina is not normally considered a bastion of Chicago-style ‘hot’ jazz. Nonetheless, the little-known Hot Dogs Band, which included composer and multi-reedist Guillermo Gregorio, played their nostalgic take on this music, separated by time and geography, but drawn to a cosmopolitan aesthetic ideal. Engaging with the tropes of the ‘journeyman musician’ and more broadly the ‘jazz journey’, this essay discusses two kinds of migration—the physical movements of Argentine-American composer, saxophonist and clarinetist Guillermo Gregorio, and aspects of the aesthetic migration of jazz as it relates to mid-1950s Buenos Aires. Gregorio’s story is a compelling global journey from Buenos Aires to Vienna, Los Angeles and finally Chicago, often led by his individualized concept of the ‘cool’. By viewing Gregorio’s physical migrations as a movement towards his aesthetic ideals, we see a captivating manifestation of the transnational circulation of jazz.

Making sense of Europe’s ascendancy in the jazz world entails connecting and contrasting the ways American and European jazz musicians and communities use modalities of race, class, age, gender, sexuality and regional identity to assert proximity and distance within local, national and international contexts. This article argues that the ‘frontier’—conceptualized as both an actual place distinguished by a geographical and cultural distance from the American mainstream, and also as a constellation of ideas reconfigured by jazz musicians in the process of carving out their own self-reliant musical identities—offers one fruitful meeting-point for comparison. Riffing on historian Frederick Jackson Turner’s influential frontier thesis (1920) that cast the Western frontier as the quintessential site of Americanization, the broad issue considered is how the frontier, like jazz, can be appropriated and recoded as a new site of Europeanization by jazz musicians in Berlin.
Crossing the curtain
Authors: Granat Zbigniew
Published: December 2013

This article focuses on a little-known collaboration of West German producer Joachim E. Berendt with Polish composer and pianist Krzysztof Komeda that resulted in a 1967 album entitled Meine süsse europäische Heimat: Dichtung und Jazz aus Polen. Released as part of Berendt’s series ‘Jazz und Lyric’, this extended musico-poetic work of Komeda attempted to cross the Iron Curtain and deliver a sombre commentary on Poland’s political situation. The article offers the first source-based analysis of Komeda’s project, including its transnational ‘message’ and musical style. I discuss the nationalistic aspects of the work, coded in the strongly political texts by Poland’s well-known poets, and analyse select tracks that articulate the conceptual realm of the ‘European Country’ encapsulated in the work’s title. I demonstrate that Komeda’s work succeeds as a transnational statement mainly because its message was embedded in an advanced musical language that fused the African-American impulse with European sensibilities.

The aim of this study was to determine the ultrastructural characteristics of
cell populations and extracellular matrix components in the wall of ruptured
atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We analyzed 20 samples of
ruptured AAA. For orientation to the light microscopy, we used routine
histochemical techniques by standard procedures. For ultrastructural
analysis, we applied transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our results have
shown that ruptured AAA is characterized by the remains of an advanced
atherosclerotic lesion in the intima followed by a complete absence of
endothelial cells, the disruption of basal membrane and disruption of
internal elastic lamina. On plaque margins as well as in the inner media we
observed smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that posses a euchromatic nucleus, a
well-developed granulated endoplasmic reticulum around the nucleus and
reduced myofilaments. The remains of the ruptured lipid core were acellular
in all samples; however, on the lateral sides of ruptured plaque we observed
a presence of two types of foam cells (FCs), spindle- and star-shaped.
Fusiform FCs possess a well-differentiated basal lamina, caveolae and
electron dense bodies, followed by a small number of lipid droplets in the
cytoplasm. Star-shaped FCs contain a large number of lipid droplets and do
not possess basal lamina. On the inner margins of the plaque, we observed a
large number of cells undergoing apoptosis and necrosis, extracellular lipid
droplets as well as a large number of lymphocytes. The media was thinned out
with disorganized elastic lamellas, while the adventitia exhibited leukocyte
infiltration. The presented results suggest that atherosclerotic plaque in
ruptured AAA contains vascular SMC synthetic phenotype and two different
types of FCs: some were derived from monocyte/macrophage lineage, while
others were derived from SMCs of synthetic phenotype. The striking plaque
hypocellularity was the result of apoptosis and necrosis of different cell
populations.

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a protein widely used in the
induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) for studying
human multiple sclerosis (MS). In C57BL/6 female mice aged eight weeks, we
administered subcutaneously MOG35-55 peptide in CFA (complete Freund?s
adjuvant) along with pertussis vaccine injected intraperitoneally. We
observed the sign of flaccid tail as early as thirteen days post-immunization
in five of twelve animals. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of
paraffin-embedded sections of lymph nodes and spleen revealed the presence of
germinal centers in the immunized animals. In the control group of animals,
lymphoid follicles without germinal centers were observed.
Immunohistochemical staining of spleen sections revealed an expression of MHC
II molecules in the EAE-induced group. We would like to point out that even
though the clinical signs are mild, the morphological changes are apparent in
the lymph nodes and spleen of MOG35-55-immunized mice.

Homocysteine is a significant but modifiable risk factor for vascular
diseases. As gastrointestinal smooth musculature is similar to blood vessel
muscles, we investigated how elevated homocysteine levels affect nitric
oxide-mediated neurotransmission in the gut. There is accumulated evidence
that a dysfunction of NO neurons in the myenteric plexus may cause various
diseases in the gastrointestinal tract such as achalasia, diabetic
gastroparesis and infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. In the present
study, we aimed to assess the effects of homocysteine on NO-mediated
responses in vitro, and to examine the effects of DL-homocysteine thiolactone
on the spontaneous motility of rat duodenum and nitrergic neurotransmission.
DL-homocysteine thiolactone concentration of 10 ?mol/L leads to the immediate
increase in tone, amplitude and frequency of spontaneous movements in
isolated rat duodenum. L-NAME (30 ?mol/L) leads to an increase in basal tone,
amplitude and frequency of spontaneous contractions. The relaxations induced
by EFS were significantly reduced in duodenal segments incubated in
DL-homocysteine thiolactone compared with the control group. EFS-induced
relaxations were inhibited by L-NAME in both experimental and control groups.
These results suggest that a high level of homocysteine causes an important
impairment of non-adrenergic non-cholinergic innervation of the rat duodenum.
Effect of steroids on transcription and secretion of Gal-1 by the human trophoblast cell line in vitro

Published: December 2013

Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is a lectin with recently documented pro-invasive function
in trophoblasts in vitro, whose regulation is currently insufficiently known.
The potential involvement of steroid hormones, synthetic glucocorticoid
dexamethasone (DEX), the sex steroid progesterone (PRG) and mifepristone
(RU486) in the regulation of Gal-1 in the trophoblast-derived cell line
HTR-8/SVneo was investigated. Gal-1 mRNA levels were assessed by real-time
PCR. The effect on secretion of Gal-1 into the culture media was followed
using the SELDI-TOF protein chip array. We present evidence that DEX and
RU486 significantly reduced Gal-1 in the HTR-8/SVneo cell line at the mRNA
level. In addition, trophoblast-derived HTR-8/SVneo cells were shown to
secrete detectable Gal-1 protein, which was only slightly increased by PRG.
The potential clinical relevance of these findings remains to be determined.

Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834), Chinese pond mussel (Bivalvia: Unionoida:
Unionidae) is one of the most invasive aquatic macroinvertebrate species
found in Europe. We report the Chinese pond mussel for the first time in
Montenegro, in August 2012, in Lake Sasko (Adriatic part of the Central
Mediterranean subarea). One specimen of the Chinese pond mussel was observed
in a habitat with a predominantly silt-clay substrate. The main pathway of
species introduction was evaluated to be via fish stocking.

The paper presents environmental conditions and morphological characteristics
of pyramidal fir (Abies alba var. pyramidalis) in the locality of Ogorijevac
in southwestern Serbia. Pyramidal fir trees grow in three localities in
Europe, but only as individual trees. A site of pyramidal fir (Abies alba
var. pyramidalis) in the locality of Ogorijevac near the town of Sjenica in
Serbia was first studied by Tosic in 1963, who described some characteristics
of the locality in which the pyramidal fir occurs and some morphological
characteristics of the trees. This paper provides a detailed description of
the parent rock, soil, climate characteristics of the locality and
morphological characteristics of the trees.
A large supernumerary bone at the bregma and metopism co-occurring in the skull of an ancient roman in Serbia

Published: December 2013

An unusual anatomical variation was observed on a skull excavated at Laniste
(Raska district, Serbia), a Roman necropolis dating back to the second half
of the 4th century AD. The skull of an adult male showed a remarkably large
supernumerary bone at the bregma co-occurring with a continuous persistent
metopic suture. Few similar cases have been reported in scientific
literature. We describe the case and discuss possible mechanisms and
underlying causes, including pathological conditions.

During two years of research on the epigeic fauna in agroecosystems of
northern Serbia, which was conducted as a part of SEE-ERA NET PLUS project
no. 51, 5488 spider specimens were collected at three fields with oilseed
rape (Brassica napus var. oleifera), turnip rape (Brassica rapa x chinensis)
and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) as subsequent crop at Stari Zednik
(Vojvodina). A total of 62 species from 15 families were identified. Pardosa
agrestis and Xysticus kochi were the dominant species in the studied fields.
Spider families with significant presence were Lycosidae, Linyphiidae,
Thomisidae, Gnaphosidae, Theridiidae and Philodromidae. Seven species are new
to the spider fauna of Serbia.

The following new cavernicolous ground beetle taxa are described from three
caves in eastern Serbia: Duvalius (Paraduvalius) trifunovici sp. n., from the
Mandina Pecina Cave, village of Zlot, near Bor, Kucajske Planine Mts., D.
(P.) rtanjensis sp. n., from the Golema Porica Pit, Mt. Rtanj, and
Glabroduvalius gen. n., G. tupiznicensis sp. n., from the Gornja Lenovacka
Pecina Cave, village of Lenovac, near Zajecar, Mt. Tupiznica. The new taxa
are easily distinguished from related organisms. All important morphological
features have been listed, along with the diagnoses and illustrations of the
taxa. The new taxa are relicts and endemics of eastern Serbia and probably
belong to old phyletic lineages of Tertiary or even pre-Tertiary origin.
