The Moral Economy of Activation
Authors: Hansen Magnus Paulsen
Published: May 2020

Activation policies which promote and enforce labour market participation continue to proliferate in Europe and constitute the reform blueprint from centre-left to centre-right, as well as for most international organizations. Rather than being disrupted the ‘active turn’ has consolidated by the recent financial and sovereign debt crises. Through an in-depth study of four major reforms in Denmark and France the book aims to answer how such reforms are legitimised by political actors. By mapping how co-existing ideas are mobilised to justify, criticise and reach activation compromises and how their morality sediment into the instruments governing the unemployed. Inspired by French pragmatic sociology it develops an innovative framework of analysis to study the role of ideas and morality in gradual but nonetheless radical social and employment policy changes. The book shows how a composite and heterogeneous set of ideas, the ‘moral economy of activation’, leads to a continuous behaviourist testing of the unemployed in public debate as well as in the local jobcentres. The moral economy of activation thus not only shapes the every-day life of the unemployment, it also has profound implications for the threshold between unemployment and work can be approached and criticised.
Afterword: resources of hope
Authors: Hamilton Mary , Tett Lyn
Published: May 2020

The aim of this book, as explained in the Introduction, is to demonstrate not only the urgent challenges from neoliberalism facing educationalists, but also a range of positive responses to these challenges. We have taken Raymond Williams (1989) notion of ‘resources of hope’ to draw together the rich variety of responses offered by contributors to the book and to identify what Milana and Rapanà call ‘interstices for resistance’ – points where it is possible to intervene to disrupt the dominant neoliberal regime and to help emergent, more emancipatory, cultures to take root. The notion of hope is explicitly referred to by several contributors as central to affirming identity and emboldening action....
The Divisive State of Social Policy
Authors: Bogue Kelly
Published: May 2020

Drawing on first person accounts and participant observation, this book looks in-depth at one of the UK government’s most controversial austerity policies, the ‘Bedroom Tax’. Focusing on the lives of 31 people in one neighbourhood, it explores the push and pull factors that structure tenants’ behaviour regarding downsizing to smaller properties within a residualised and stigmatised social housing sector. It highlights the meaning of home and the continuing relevance of community and the tensions created when tenants are faced with the threat of displacement and the concomitant loss of social networks and informal structures of welfare that operate in place. While this book focuses on one social policy, it speaks to broader concerns about the value and loss of social housing and how we care for and house our most vulnerable citizens in the midst of neoliberal restructuring. It reflects on the continuing loss of housing benefit support, on-going cuts to the welfare state and what this means for communities and their sense of security and belonging. More broadly, it reflects on how cuts to housing benefit support are undermining the capacity of low income households to secure and maintain housing within a social sector that faces new financial risks and a private rented sector in which the term ‘no DSS’ has made a resurgence. The central argument of this book is that policies such as the Bedroom Tax which undermine secure housing are divisive, heightening resentment about access to housing while leading to increasing housing inequality and urban marginality.
Negotiating Migration in the Context of Climate Change
Authors: Nash Sarah Louise
Published: May 2020

Assessing migration in the context of climate change, this book draws on empirical research to offer a unique analysis of policy-making in the field. This detailed account is a vital step in understanding the links between global discourses on human mobilities, climate change and specific policy responses. The idea that people are being forced to move because of climate change, and that in the future even more people will be forced to do so, has captured imaginations globally. The majority of these representations of lives touched by climate change are expressions of outrage that the actions of a few will affect the lives of so many, that climate change will have consequences so grave that people will be forced to leave their homes. The aim of this book is to examine the distinct policy debate surrounding the climate change and human mobility nexus, in particular the construction of these two related concepts as a distinct phenomenon that requires policy responses.
Getting In and Getting On in the Youth Labour Market
Authors: Leonard Pauline , Wilde Rachel J.
Published: May 2020

This timely book provides a thorough analysis of contemporary youth employment entry route schemes in the U.K.Drawing on a Post-Foucauldian approach, the book providesa critical interrogation of the policy contexts governing a range of youth employment training schemes in four diverse regional economies within England and Scotland, including employability training, enterprise training, internships and volunteering. Supplemented with new ethnographic case study research conducted by the authors, the book’s chaptersexplore each training scheme in turn through the eyes of regional policy makers, trainers, work experience providers and young people. The authors demonstrate how neoliberal beliefs and practices, such as individualisation, responsibilisation, flexibility and resilience to risk are thoroughly implicated in youth employment policy and training practice. The book also makes obvious how the constraints faced by, and opportunities permitted to, different young people are shaped by the broad and complex interplay of national and regional historical events, economic processes and social structures.These function not only to reproduce but often to further retrench social inequalities, positions of liminality and vulnerability to risk for young people trying to get in and get on in good quality work across the different regional economies of the U.K.
Gangs, Drugs and (Dis)Organised Crime
Authors: McLean Robert
Published: May 2020

Analysing criminal trajectories via the lens of group offending from childhood to adulthood, this book explores gang organisation as a means for gang business in the contemporary British context. The study itself draws upon a five year study, carried out in the West of Scotland, to present in the voices of practitioners and more notably (ex)offenders the activity which gangs engage in the look to survive, operate, and expand in the illegal criminal underworld. The book is unique in that gang structure, activity, and context are analysed independently yet presents a holistic picture of what (dis)organised crime looks like in Britain today. Particular attention is paid to gang involvement in the countries illegal drug market, with unique light shed on the subject. In addition, the author explores how this illegal activity often overspills and is intertwined with the legitimate British economy.
Transnational Migration and the New Subjects of Work
Authors: Özkazanç-Pan Banu
Published: May 2020

This book brings about insights and key concepts from the field of transnational migration studies to bear upon the field of organization studies. It expands upon multiscalar global perspective, moving beyond methodological nationalism, and historical global conjuncturesas relevant transnational concepts for studying people and difference in novel ways including agentic, reflexive mobile subjectivities as the new subjects of diversity research that emerge in a ‘post-identitarian’ world. Specifically, the book offers transmigrant, hybrid, and cosmopolitan subjectivities as new the subjects of diversity research. Beyond new subjectivities, mobility ontology requires rethinking the epistemology of multiculturalism, examining inequalities, and redirecting the methodologies adopted to attend to difference. In expanding on these, the book offers new frameworks for the study of people on-the-move and organizations through a mobility ontology that foregrounds movement as the natural order of the social world. It also calls into question the ways existing research paradigms and approaches have potentially replicated the creation of boundaries and borders through implicit assumptions about difference, race/ethnicity and belonging. By shifting the ontological premise upon which the field of organization studies rests, this book provides novel ways of theorizing difference, people and work beyond static epistemologies guiding much of the field.
Climate Change, Consumption and Intergenerational Justice
Authors: Diprose Kristina , Valentine Gill , Vanderbeck Robert , Liu Chen , McQuaid Katie
Published: May 2020

This book examines lived experiences and perceptions of climate change, changing consumption practices, and intra- and intergenerational justice with urban residents in China, Uganda, and the United Kingdom. The book draws on an interdisciplinary research programme called INTERSECTION, which was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council from 2014 to 2017. INTERSECTION was an innovative, cross-national programme that employed participatory arts and social research methods with urban residents in three cities: Jinja in Uganda, Nanjing in China, and Sheffield in the United Kingdom. Drawing together a unique dataset from these three cities -- which are very differently positioned in relation to global networks of production and consumption, (de)industrialisation and vulnerability to climate change -- the research demonstrates how people engage selectively with the ‘global storm’ and the ‘intergenerational storm’ of climate change.  The research reveals a ‘human sense of climate’ that clouds its framing as an issue of either international and intergenerational justice. Its chapters focus on the global and intergenerational dimensions of climate change, local narratives of climate change, moral geographies of climate change, intergenerational perspectives on sustainable consumption, and imaging alternative futures through community based and creative research practices.
Polarization-sensitive anisotropic plasmonic properties of quantum dots and Au nanorod composites
Authors: Chandra Subhash , Ahmed Hind , McCormack Sarah
Published: May 2020

Polarization-sensitive anisotropic plasmonic interaction between gold nanorods (AuNRs) and quantum dots (QDs) encapsulated in an epoxy resin polymer has been experimentally investigated. The anisotropic plasmonic interaction utilized the polarization-dependent plasmonic properties of aligned AuNR in AuNR-QD composite. AuNRs were aligned by an external AC electric field of 3.5 ×105 Vm−1. The plasmonic interaction modified QD absorption and emission dependent on excitation light polarization and maximum enchantment of 10% and 59%, respectively. Moreover, anisotropic plasmonic interaction induced directional emission of QDs has improved emission decay rate by 20% and modulated emission polarization ratio of out-of-plane (vertical) and in-plane (horizontal) from 1 to 0.84.
Digital resolution enhancement in low transverse sampling optical coherence tomography angiography using deep learning
Authors: Zhou Ting , Yang Jianlong , Zhou Kang , Fang Liyang , Hu Yan , Cheng Jun , Zhao Yitian , Chen Xiangping , Gao Shenghua , Liu Jiang
Published: May 2020

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) requires high transverse sampling density for visualizing retinal and choroidal capillaries. Low transverse sampling causes digital resolution degradation, such as the angiograms in wide-field OCTA. In this paper, we propose to address this problem using deep learning. We conducted extensive experiments on converting the centrally cropped 3 × 3 mm2 field of view (FOV) of the 8 × 8 mm2 foveal OCTA images (a sampling density of 22.9 µm) to the native 3 × 3 mm2 en face OCTA images (a sampling density of 12.2 µm). We employed a cycle-consistent adversarial network architecture in this conversion. The quantitative analysis using the perceptual similarity measures shows the generated OCTA images are closer to the native 3 × 3 mm2 scans. Besides, the results show the proposed method could also enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. We further applied our method to enhance diseased cases and calculate vascular biomarkers, which demonstrates its generalization performance and clinical perspective.
Ballet and the Soviet body
Authors: Sporton Gregory
Published: May 2020

The early failure of the 'dram-balet' form as a vehicle for Soviet ballet is often observed as a failure of its stories to deliver the message of the new society being born around it. This article discusses how this may not be a sufficient explanation of both the survival of ballet in Soviet times and its eventual emergence as a cultural symbol of the USSR. The misdirected efforts into didactic storytelling worked precisely against its utility to Soviet cultural bureaucrats who were looking for work that could support the aims of the Revolution in its practical manifestations. Once the ballet masters of the Bolshoi gave up their pretensions to narrative (the infamous 'dram-balet' of the 1920s), a different accommodation with the regime was found through equating the physical and technical work of ballet with that of a society focussed on taking itself out of centuries of backwardness. Ballet dancers could thus become the exemplars of Soviet citizens, hard working, technical specialists in culture, consistent with the ambitions of a meritocracy.
¿Influyen tiempo y clima en la distribución del nuevo coronavirus (SARS CoV-2)? Una revisión desde una perspectiva biogeográfica
Authors: Gutiérrez-Hernández Oliver , García Luis V.
Published: May 2020

El 11 de marzo de 2020, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) declaró pandemia global el brote de la enfermedad COVID-19, producida por el nuevo coronavirus SARS CoV-2. En este artículo se efectúa una revisión de las contribuciones científicas publicadas hasta la fecha que relacionan las condiciones atmosféricas con la distribución del SARS CoV-2. La mayor parte de ellas concluyen que existe cierta influencia del tiempo atmosférico y/o el clima en la distribución y el progreso de la COVID-19. En concreto, un ambiente fresco y seco, en el contexto de un clima mesotérmico, parece el más idóneo para la expansión del SARS CoV-2. Sin embargo, un número significativo de estudios revisados adolece de diseños de investigación inadecuados, lo que hace muy difícil aislar de forma fehaciente el efecto genuino de las condiciones atmosféricas en la propagación de la enfermedad de otros efectos, incluidos los posibles artefactos derivados de la prevalencia observada, la dependencia espacial y temporal de los datos y la propia geografía humana: conectividad geográfica, movilidad, sistema sanitario, etc. Se concluye que sólo existen indicios, no evidencia, de que las condiciones atmosféricas pueden llegar a explicar una fracción muy limitada de la dinámica espaciotemporal del SARS CoV-2.
Urban farming as competitive resource in food services: an evaluation through the resource-based view theory
Authors: Fuzinatto Naiane Modri , Santos Junior Silvio
Published: May 2020

This article is a study about the allocation of urban agriculture (UA) as a competitive resource to restaurants. The world population has become increasingly urban and shows increasing concern by the quality of food consumed. Thus, owners and chefs of restaurants aim to acquire locally grown food or even grow them in their own establishments, in order to guarantee food with high nutritional value and freshness. Based on this context, the objective is to assess the impact of urban agriculture in the competitiveness of a restaurant that uses the urban cultivation of food as one of the key elements featured in their services. This research is a case study of a qualitative approach and descriptive. The case investigated is a restaurant located in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, which introduced the practice of UA on its premises. The data were obtained through documentary research, semi-structured interviews, and direct observation and were analyzed by categorization of information and data triangulation to later be evaluated through the VRIO model. The results point to the development of competitive advantage through the UA when combined with conceptual and technological elements.
Civil szervezetek szerepe a területi foglalkoztatási megállapodásokban

Published: May 2020

In present study I would like to demonstrate the role of civil organizations in the territorial employment pacts of the South Transdanubian region. In changing number and to various ex-tent, but civil organizations take a part in all employment pacts of the region. The collaboration and the participation in the elaboration of the local employment development ideas are impor-tant, because they are in a daily contact with the target groups of the pact. The results of my study show that the civil organizations participating in the pacts are diverse and unique. To exploit the opportunity arising from these characteristics, civil organizations should cooperate in the planning and execution of their programs. The resulting synergy effect can significantly contribute to the achievement of both individual civil organizations' and pacts' goals.

The thesis aims to explore the effects of current phenomena - globalisation, liberalisa-tion and innovation - on the financial world. No analysis can fail to consider today's eco-nomic crisis, which is often seen as the consequence of liberalisation and the lack of trans-parency of innovative financial products. According to leading economists the financial system need to be controlled. Other analysts say that the financial system is already over-regulated compared to other areas. Some analysts say that the market of financial innova-tions must be downsized as recent years have proved that mistakes in the market are much more dangerous than previously thought and consequently financial innovation -at least in the short term - has no future. Others disagree pointing out the economic prosperity, which is the result of financial innovation. My thesis outlines these theories and I am planning to carry out empirical studies in order to decide which of these theories to reject and which of them to accept.

We spend most of our lifetime working, so it is vital to have such a job which meets all of our expectations. Working this way contributes not only to the creation of our security feeling, but helps to realize ourselves. Moreover, considering the development of economy and society, it is important that we let people work and meet their individual needs through securing adequate number and quality positions. Working chances of changed capacity persons are largely determined by how they are treated, by which aspect, and what kind of information a society access about their life, capacities and objectives. This article aims to introduce, by research results, what communication factors influ-ence the positions of changed capacity potentional employees and how important informa-tion supply and media are in the support of their integration.

Published: May 2020

Because of the characteristics of state administration, the qualifying processes for the public service are necessarily complex. The state administrative activity is not based on a well-definable profession but on a number of different professions, and it is nevertheless an activity in possession of state power on the one hand and it is public service on the other. A basic requirement towards all civil servants is that they correspond to this twofold role of state authority and public service and consequently they have to learn and apply in practice the skills and procedures. The development of human resources in the state administration field can be achieved by a moduled further education system that runs constantly along the civil servant's career. Relating ideas such as alterations in in-training systems, its aims, its thematization and application and the future possibilities and direction of development are also dealt with in the study.

Az időskori élelmiszerfogyasztás magyarországi vonatkozásai és időbeli aspektusai

Published: May 2020

Aging is not only a challenge for food producers, but also provides a treasure trove of new opportunities for product development and innovations. We have designed a prototype model of food consumption of the elderly with the goal of calling the attention of producers and growers to the specific needs of this growing market segment. However, the food consumption habits of the elderly cannot be compacted into a single model, since this specific age group is not homogenous. By designing hypothetical models we are hoping to facilitate the further research of the issue. In the near future we want to test and try our general models in practice, involving the producers as well as the consumers. The models point at the specific needs of aging populations and their choice of food products based upon reasonable decisions and focusing on the future. Considerations of the future perspective are an important feature of this behavior, since it might significantly improve the quality of life and health awareness of the elderly, their decisions in the field of consumption, and ultimately their general health and welfare conditions.

Published: May 2020

Sustainable development has been an important focus of current researches. To be able to test the theories, to develop goals, and to control their fulfillment we need measurement. The three main fields of sustainable development (economic, societal and ecological) have a series of indicators, but these indicators are not always applicable to achieve the above-mentioned goals. In the paper, we survey the requirements of the indicators absed on a wide-range literature, whether they are real and consistent ones, their possible weights in the three fields. After theoretical part, we analyze some wellknown measure to show that even these measures can be criticized. We conclude that none of the above mentioned measures are perfect ones, and sometimes the most criticized measures show better performance.

It is important to investigate labour market tools as employment policy is expected to reduce unemployment and the segmentation of the labour market, to decrease the intensifying unfavourable situation of vulnerable social groups, to help the geographical, employment and branch labour mobility and to improve productivity. I examine the role of public employment of the labour market tools. I introduce the development of public employment tools and detail that what effects the public employment has on the tendency of unemployment. The literature review in my research was compiled with the aim of a secondary research objective. In the literature review I deal with the introduction of the public employment as a tool for handling labour market crises in the countries of the European Union, as well as with the characteristics of the new system of public employment in Hungary. The numbers of those who are involved in the public employment program both at national and sub-regional levels forecast its significance and necessity under the present condition of the Hungarian economy.

Tanulmányunk témája a M.I.T. Hungária Kft. szentesi élelmiszer üzleteiben való vásárlási szokások felmérése. Ezen élelmiszer üzletek a hagyományos kisboltok közé tartoznak. Kutatásunk során kérdőíves megkérdezést alkalmaztunk, melynek során 298 vevőt sikerült megkérdezni. Vizsgáltuk a vásárlók szokásait, motivációit, jellemzőit, illetve vásárlásuk körülményeit, gyakoriságát, mennyiségét, egyéb jellemzőit, stb. A vásárlók az üzleteket általában naponta vagy hetente több alkalommal keresik fel, egy-egy vásárlás alkalmával 500-1 000 forintot hagynak a pénztárnál. Fontos szempont számukra a precíz, kedves kiszolgálás, eladók és az üzlet jó megközelíthetőség. A legtöbb elégedettségi kérdésnél nagyon elégedettek voltak. Legtöbben a széles áruválaszték és az akciók miatt választanak másik üzletet, ezért érdemes lenne az akciókat jobban kommunikálni a vevőknek, mert az elemzésünkből az derült ki, hogy akik ismerik az akciókat, azokat nagyban befolyásolja az üzletválasztásánál.

A kekszek egy kevésbé szembetűnő, ugyanakkor jelentős csoportja a háztartási keksz, amely szinte minden háztartásban megtalálható, készítése és fogyasztása a régi időkig nyúlik vissza. Felmérésünkben kíváncsiak voltunk arra, hogy a mai 19-25 éves korosztály mennyire ismeri, illetve fogyasztja a kekszeket, ezen csoporton belül is a háztartási kekszeket. Különösen érdekes lehet a fogyasztási szokások alakulása abból a szempontból is, hogy felmérésünket a vendéglátó-szálloda szakos hallgatók körében végeztük 115 hallgató megkérdezésével, ők feltehetően eleve jobban érdeklődnek a sütés-főzés iránt, és valószínűsíthetően jobban ismerik a háztartási kekszek konyhai vagy akár cukrászipari felhasználását.

A fenntartható fejlődés érdekében a közös cél a fogyasztói társadalmat egy tudatosabb életvitellel megismertetni és szokásrendszerükbe implementálni annak normáit. Jelen kutatásban egy napi rutinjaiban és fogyasztói magatartásában még kiforratlan csoportot, a középiskolás korosztályt vizsgáltuk egy 1002 fős kérdőíves felmérés keretében. Korábbi kutatások során már elkülönítettünk négy klasztert a tudatos fogyasztás ismérvei mentén. Ezen a négy klaszteren vizsgáltuk meg statisztikai elemzések segítségével, hogy hogyan differenciálódnak az egyes azonos korosztályhoz tartozó csoportok a környezettudatosság és a környezetvédelem kapcsán. Az eredményeink alapján kiderült, hogy eltérőek a gondolkodás- és a viselkedésminták a különböző szintű tudatosságot mutató klaszterekben, így a tudatos életvitel kialakításához szükséges a célcsoportoknak megfelelő kommunikáció, (elsősorban ismeretátadás), illetve a cselekvési lehetőségek biztosítása.

A vizsgálatok elsődleges célja az volt, hogy egy optimális megoldást találjunk arra az esetre, hogy minél tisztább etilént kapjunk fejtermékként a leginkább energiahatékony módon.
ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF (2+1) DIMENSIONAL DIRAC EQUATION IN TIME-DEPENDENT NONCOMMUTATIVE PHASE-SPACE
Authors: Haouam Ilyas
Published: May 2020

In this article, we studied the system of a (2+1) dimensional Dirac equation in a time-dependent noncommutative phase-space. More specifically, we investigated the analytical solution of the corresponding system by the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant method based on the construction of the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant. Knowing that we obtained the time-dependent Dirac Hamiltonian of the problem in question from a time-dependent Bopp-Shift translation, then used it to set the Lewis- Riesenfeld invariant operators. Thereafter, the obtained results were used to express the eigenfunctions that lead to determining the general solution of the system.
Locating Poor Whites in Contemporary Travel Narratives
Authors: Robertson Sarah
Published: May 2020

This chapter charts the long history of travel writing about the US South and explores the continued fascination and simultaneous repulsion with its poor whites. It discusses neo-colonial approaches to the region and poverty in the work of writers including Pamela Petro, V.S. Naipaul, and Paul Theroux, and the cosmopolitan perspectives advanced by writers such as Bill Bryson and Eddy L. Harris. It compares representations of Atlanta as the embodiment of the New South with romanticized accounts of rural poverty and proposes that the realities of contemporary poverty either go unrecognized or are aligned with the economics of the Global South rather than with US economics that shape the Global North. It critically examines stereotyping, appeals to authenticity and questions the impact of tourism on the region.

Surface Reflections
Authors: Round Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter examines the use of Gothic symbols, settings and archetypes in the context of gender. It pays particular attention to the use of the double, the Other, and associated symbols such as mirrors and masks, arguing that these are used to explore the limits of female identity and to interrogate issues of control and change. It also analyzes the settings of the Misty stories, demonstrating that these often contain an intrusion of the past into the present, creating the ‘Gothic cusp’, which manifests as an uncanny feeling of dislocation. It concludes by exploring the treatment of Gothic archetypes (focusing particularly on witches, vampires, and ghosts), and reveals that these appear less than might be expected, and are frequently handled subversively or sympathetically.
Make Misty for Me
Authors: Round Julia
Published: May 2020

This chapter examines Misty’s letters page. Few critics have analyzed comics letters pages in any depth, and this chapter discusses what self-image the ‘Write to Misty’ page constructs and whether this is consistent with (1) dominant discourses of the horror genre, (2) the reputation and readership of British girls’ comics, and (3) comics letters pages more generally. It analyzes the entire run of “Write to Misty,” demonstrating that reader response to the comic is based around the following six categories: creativity, curiosity, connection, community and conversation, comment and criticism, and compass. It frames these findings with scholarship on female audiences and their periodical publications. The analysis shows that Misty’screative, critical and collegiate reader response is well-suited to its genre and audience, as much of the appeal of horror and Gothic literature comes from its challenge to our bravery and imaginations; its innate conservatism and morality; and (paradoxically) its challenge to social norms and notions of acceptability.

The Modern City Streets
Authors: Fraser Benjamin
Published: May 2020

This chapter explores the way in which early comics established a legacy emphasizing urban street life. It begins by detailing the connection of comics with urban environments, themes and circulation patterns in eighteenth-, nineteenth- and twentieth-century London, England, Geneva, Switzerland, and New York, USA. For this discussion, A Harlot’s Progress by William Hogarth, the caricature and urban themes of Rodolphe Töpffer, and Richard F. Outcault’s The Yellow Kid and Hogan’s Alley serve as paradigmatic examples. Attention then turns to Winsor McCay’s vibrant Sunday-page color Little Nemo comics, which harnessed suburban dreams at the dawn of the twentieth century. Finally, an example from the twenty-first century demonstrates how these earlier themes are important for understanding the continuing legacy of urban comics. Contemporary Canadian artist Sophie Yanow’s War of Streets and Houses recalls the graphic and stylistic innovation and spatio-historical context of Töpffer’s comics production.
Conclusion
Authors: Fraser Benjamin
Published: May 2020

To bring Visible Cities: Urban Images and Form in Global Comics to a close, it is worthwhile to return to how I outlined this project in the introduction. This book was not meant to be an exhaustive treatment of global cities in comics. Neither was it meant to be broadly representative of themes addressed in the comics medium as a whole. It did not attempt to tell an encyclopedic history of the ninth art, or to catalogue the way in which cities are represented in comic. First and foremost it has been an urban contribution to the interdisciplinary landscape of comics studies....
Folklore beyond the Human
Authors: Thompson Tok
Published: May 2020

This chapter argues for broadening the purview of folklore as a discipline to include non-human agents as well, and suggests that aesthetics could be productively used as a touchstone with which to begin to connect the discipline of folklore to other studies, particularly ethology, through the theoretical framework of posthumanism.
Introduction
Authors: van Delden Ate
Published: May 2020

New Yorker Adrian Rollini was a child prodigy, playing the piano in public before he was five years old. Twenty years later he became a celebrity for playing the bass saxophone, a musical instrument that nobody before or after him played with as much originality, artistry, and craftsmanship. Another ten years later his instrument of choice was the vibraphone, and again he had few peers. By the forties, Adrian was no longer in the limelight. He eventually followed his desire to pursue his fishing hobby, buying a property on Key Largo in Florida and exploiting it as a fishing lodge. Unlike today, the Florida Keys were undeveloped territory; Adrian’s place offered little luxury, but was excellent for fishing. He continued to make music for pleasure, but only rarely would he perform for an audience that he did not know. In 1956 Adrian Rollini passed away at the age of fifty-three. At the time few noticed, not even those who knew him....
The California Ramblers Grown Up

Published: May 2020

Kirkeby develops the concept of the "band-within-a-band" andin 1923 the first recordings by the Varsity Eight, a small unit from the California Ramblers are made. The full band also debuts on radio that year and on one occasion, Rollini recorded with saxophone virtuoso Rudy Wiedoeft. Engagements by the full band include the annual dance of the Talking Machine Men aswell as a charity event at the Roseland and a grand re-opening of the massive Hippodrome Theatre. At the start of 1924, the California Ramblers Inn was refreshed with new drapes and carpets to be ready for guests during the hot summer.
Kirkeby Loses His Grip, the End of the Contracts
Authors: van Delden Ate
Published: May 2020

The team of Kirkeby and Hand lost a large capital on the Florida adventure. Back in New York, Kirkeby opened a new club, the Lido Venice, which was short-lived too. The band went on tour, led by Rollini, with Dixie added as a solo dancer to demonstrate the Charleston. It worked but it did not compensate Kirkeby's earlier losses, so in 1927 he goes bankrupt and decides to cancel his contracts with the band members. They are no longer on his weekly payroll, but Kirkeby continuesto use them on record dates.
The Lynched Earth
Authors: McMahand Donnie , Murphy Kevin L.
Published: May 2020

Focusing first on Welty’s “A Worn Path” then Morrison’s Home, this chapter discusses the authors’ treatment of landscape, which reverberates with lingering touches of racialized violence and trauma, and identifies how black characters read and decode its various evocations. The characters’ ability to recognize trees as signposts of the lynched black male body demonstrates a political consciousness necessary for their survival. Trees in these works figure as totems of death and destruction and as potent life-forces, pointing expectantly toward survival and regeneration. Shifting from figurative burial to affirmative acts of intrusion and trespass, these texts’ protagonists defy the forces of immobilization and the stereotypical images of southern black women depicted in earlier pastoral formations. Ultimately, this chapter argues that Welty and Morrison reorient the apocalyptic visioning of the antipastoral by bending the arc toward resilience and resurrection, permitting their terrain to appear mutably as bleak and beautiful, frightening and futurist.
Specters on Staircases
Authors: Ford Sarah Gilbreath
Published: May 2020

In William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!, Eudora Welty’s Delta Wedding, and Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon characters enter haunted houses seeking information only to be confronted on the stairs by mysterious African American women. This essay explores what is at stake in the portrayals of African American specters standing on staircases and impeding other characters’ desire for knowledge. The gothic energy driving the repetition is the conflation of person and property that happens in slavery, causing these women not just to haunt the houses but to haunt as houses, as the status of property they were assigned because of their race. While this status renders the women in one sense powerless, each uses her situation as property to assert a different kind of possession, thereby becoming powerful specters. As property, the women testify to the horror of slavery. As specters, the women reveal how that horror haunts the present.
The role of diabetes in the onset and development of endothelial dysfunction

The vascular endothelium performs many functions. It is a key regulator of vascular homeostasis, maintains a balance between vasodilation and vasoconstriction, inhibition and stimulation of smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation, fibrinolysis and thrombosis, and is involved to regulation of platelet adhesion and aggregation. Endothelial dysfunction (ED) plays the critical role in pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM) vascular complications. The purpose of this review was to consider the mechanisms leading to the occurrence of ED in DM. The paper discusses current literature data concerning the role of hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, advanced glycation end products in endothelial alteration. A separate section is devoted to the particularities of the functioning of the antioxidant system and their significance in the development of ED in DM. The analysis of the literature allows to conclude that pathological activation of glucose utilization pathways causes damage of endothelial cells, which is accompanied by disorders of all their basic functions. Metabolic disorders in DM cause a pronounced imbalance of free radical processes and antioxidant defense, accompanied by oxidative stress of endotheliocytes, which contributes to the progression of ED and the development of vascular complications. Many aspects of multicomponent regulatory reactions in the pathogenesis of the development of ED in DM have not been sufficiently studied.
Green Economy Game: A Modular Approach for Sustainable Development Education
Authors: Gatti Junior Wilian , Kim Beaumie , Liu Liping , Lai Xingru
Published: May 2020

In this paper, we discuss our approach to designing a board game, the Green Economy, that promotes systems thinking.  We anchored our game design process on design-by-analogy and rapid prototyping concepts by taking a modular approach to overcome the trade-off between realism and simplicity. The unique feature of the Green Economy enables players to change the rules of the game during the gameplay, which gives them a partial design opportunity.  The theme, sustainable development, was chosen to challenge the players’ systems thinking in sustainable development. Systems thinking enables us to understand and face the complex challenges in global and networked social structures.  Our design experience demonstrates the benefit of designing dynamic game elements that involve both strategic gameplay and game (re)design through systems thinking.
Fight the Power! Games, Thermostats, and the Energy Patriarchy
Authors: Horn Michael , Davis Pryce , Banerjee Amartya , Stevens Reed
Published: May 2020

Confronting issues of global climate change will require creative approaches to energy consumption across a range of human activities. This design case looks at the evolution of a physical/digital hybrid board game that we created to encourage families to reflect on household energy consumption and environmental sustainability. Design in this context was particularly challenging due to the nature of household heating and cooling systems, which tend to be opaque and difficult to understand. Our challenge was to employ game mechanics to help build up interest, awareness, and understanding of heating and cooling systems, while at the same time providing an enjoyable and engaging activity. Through many rounds of playtesting and interviews, we converged on the design presented here. We start with a conceptual framework describing modern energy practices, after which we describe the game design and reflect on its strengths and weaknesses.

Waiver in the Russian Criminal Process from the Point of View of Standards of European Court of Human Rights
Authors: CHEBOTAREVA Irina N.
Published: May 2020

The research deals with the case law of European Court of Human Rights against the Russian Federation on complaints of its citizens regarding violation of Article 6 of European Convention on Human Rights in criminal proceedings when it considers waiver. The author has defined and analyzed both the standards of waiver and the Court’s approaches to the establishment of waiver and the requirements and conditions developed by it.

The author’s analysis of the decisions of European Court of Justice in respect of Russia, in which the court considered the legality of waiver in specific criminal cases when the Russian authorities claimed that the Applicant had waived his right, has led to the conclusion about misunderstanding of the Russian law executor of this legal phenomenon. As a result the defects of law enforcement are hidden behind the waiver of one’s right in the Russian criminal process.
