Shaping of the U.S. Regional Security Framework in the Indo-Pacific Region in 2012-2020
Authors: RAMICH MIRZET
Published: March 2022

This article examines the transformation of the US approaches to the implementation of foreign policy in Indo-Pacific region. It is noteworthy that with the change in the approaches of the US leadership to the structuring of the regional subsystem through the creation and maintenance of allied relations with a number of states in the region, the goal remains unchanged — ensuring security in the region while maintaining US leadership. At the present stage, the implementation of this goal is hindered by the growing influence of China in the Indo-Pacific region.
The authors of the article focused on identifying criteria that allow assessing the current situation in the region and the effectiveness of existing cooperation between the United States and the countries of the Indo-Pacific region within the framework of organizations and agreements. The research was conducted on the basis of an analysis of the behaviour of some regional players who have agreements with the United States and position themselves as their allies. The criteria for the study were the following aspects: participation in military exercises, the deployment of military bases, signed defence agreements, the availability of information exchange in the field of military technology, the presence of nuclear weapons, the absence of territorial claims at sea and participation in shipping operations. The authors analysed national documents, according to them it was possible to characterize the attitude of countries to the United States, China, as well as to identify the point of view of regional players on the security architecture in Indo-Pacific region and threats significant for the stability of this structure. The study proposed by the authors makes it possible to study the problems of ensuring security in the region, to identify the peculiarities of US policy in the studied space, to determine the tools of the United States to maintain its positions in Indo-Pacific region, as well as to assess the readiness of the allied countries to confront China together with the United States. In conclusion, the authors assess the effectiveness of the transformation of the US-centered regional security system in Indo-Pacific region.

This study aims to assess the environmental impact of different chemical classes of reactive dyes and their treatment. To attain this outcome, four different types of reactive dyes (Procion Blue PX-3R (Monochlorotriazine), Levafix Blue CA (Bi-functional heterogeneous), Remazol Brilliant Blue R (Vinylsulphone) and Remazol Brilliant Blue RR (Bi-functional homogeneous) on the cotton fabric were analyzed. The potential cytotoxic effect of different reactive dyes was evaluated using the growth inhibition test according to AATCC 22662 by exposing the culture over 72 hours at 21 °C. The dyeing operation was performed in a labrotex sample dyeing machine, and a data color spectrophotometer was administered to analyze the strength percentage of dyes in post-dye liquor. Among the reactive dyes, Levafix Blue CA exhibited better effluent characteristics compared to others, lowering the threat to the environment. The dyed wastewater was directly disposed of and treated in a pilot plant containing lime and ferrous sulfate as coagulant and polyacrylamide as polyelectrolyte, which resulted in a significant reduction of BOD5 (64.97-74.67%), COD (61.03-70.28%), TDS (55.02-61.97%) and TSS (47.07-50.19%) with improved pH and DO values. This investigation reflects the specific selection of a reactive dye leading to a lower environmental impact of a dyeing process coupled with wastewater treatment processes.

Authors: Guzev Vladislav , Terekhov Artem , Krymsky Robert , Belyatsky Boris , Molchanov Anatolii
Published: March 2022

The paper presents the results of the comprehensive isotope geochemical (Re-Os, Pb and δ34S) study of sulfide mineralization of the Morozkinskoye deposit. The ore zones of the deposit are localized in the syenite massif of Mount Rudnaya, which is located within the Central Aldan ore region (southern Yakutia). Gold mineralization is represented by vein-disseminated or vein type mineralization and is manifested in acidic low-temperature metasomatites – beresites (Qz-Ser-Ank-Py). For the first time we obtained an age estimate of the gold mineralization ~ 129 ± 3 Ma, which the synchronism of the hydrothermal ore process in the beresites, which formed the Morozkinskoye deposit, and magmatic crystallization of the syenites of Mount Rudnaya (~130 Ma). The osmium initial isotopic composition of the studied sulfides indicates a mixed mantle-crustal source of sulfide mineralization. New lead isotopic data of syenites indicate the predominance of mantle lead and an insignificant role of the lower – crust lead, while the isotopic composition of pyrite denotes the presence of the upper crustal material in the ore genesis. The sulfide δ34S values vary from –2.3 to +0.6 ‰ and indicate a predominantly magmatic source of sulfur in the ores.

Authors:   National Institute of Population Research and Training,   Deutsche Gesellschaft Fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ),   Population Council,   AVSC International
Published: March 2022

The Bangladesh family planning (FP) program has achieved success in reducing fertility during the past decades, but male involvement is lagging behind. A two-day seminar on "Male Involvement in Family Planning: A Challenge for the National Programme" was held in Dhaka June 25–26, 1996. The objectives were to review research findings on methods currently used, determine male involvement policy and strategy, and formulate an action plan including IEC, counseling, and programmatic interventions. Speakers emphasized the need for more male involvement in FP and the prevailing misconceptions about male contraception that should be addressed with IEC programs. Participants felt that to increase male participation in FP there should be action to marginalize sociocultural constraints, ensure that service facilities cater to male needs, arrange service-provider training, undertake innovative research, and extend coverage of male issues in IEC activities. Summary recommendations are noted in this report.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Increased risk of thromboembolic events is associated with prostate cancer, specifically linked to activation of tissue factor. Vitamin D has potential anticoagulant effects by the downregulation of tissue factor expression. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects on clot formation, the morphological and viscoelastic profiles of prostate cancer patients, before and after ex vivo supplementation of Vitamin D was studied. METHODS: Participants were recruited into a metastatic, non-metastatic and reference group. Whole blood samples were treated ex vivo with a dose of 0.5μg/kg Calcitriol. Clot kinetics were assessed using Thromboelastography®. Morphology of the blood components were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS: Results from the Thromboelastography® and SEM indicated no major differences between the non-metastatic group before and after treatment compared to the reference group. The Thromboelastography® showed that the metastatic group had an increased viscoelastic profile relating to a hypercoagulable state. Visible changes with regards to platelet activation and fibrin morphology were demonstrated with SEM analysis of the metastatic group. The viscoelastic and morphological properties for the non-metastatic group after treatment improved to be comparable to the reference group. CONCLUSION: Vitamin D supplementation may lead to a more favorable viscoelastic profile, with less dangerous clots forming.

Published: March 2022

The U.S. National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) funding for biomedical informatics research in the 1980s and 1990s focused on clinical decision support systems, which were also the focus of research for Donald A.B. Lindberg M.D. prior to becoming NLM’s director. The portfolio of projects expanded over the years. At NLM, Dr. Lindberg supported various large infrastructure programs that enabled biomedical informatics research, as well as investigator-initiated research projects that increasingly included biotechnology/bioinformatics and health services research. The authors review NLM’s sponsorship of research during Dr. Lindberg’s tenure as its Director. NLM’s funding significantly increased in the 2000’s and beyond. Authors report an analysis of R01 topics from 1985–2016 using data from NIH RePORTER. Dr. Lindberg’s legacy for biomedical informatics research is reflected by the research NLM supported under his leadership. The number of R01s remained steady over the years, but the funds provided within awards increased over time. A significant amount of NLM funds listed in RePORTER went into various types of infrastructure projects that laid a solid foundation for biomedical informatics research over multiple decades.

Authors: Armstrong Melissa J. , Song Shangchen , Kurasz Andrea M. , Li Zhigang
Published: March 2022

Background: Dementia is one of the top causes of death worldwide, but individuals with dementia and their caregivers report that knowing what to expect, including regarding approaching end of life, is an unmet need. Objective: To identify predictors of death in individuals with Alzheimer disease (AD) dementia, Lewy body dementia (LBD), vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Methods: The study used data from National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center participants with dementia and an etiologic diagnosis of AD, Lewy body disease, frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD, with or without motor neuron disease), or vascular dementia. Analyses included median survival across dementia types and predictors of death at 5 years based on baseline demographics and clinical measure performance. Five-year survival probability tables were stratified by predictor values. Results: Individuals with AD had the longest survival (median 6 years), followed by FTLD (5 years), and vascular dementia and LBD (each 4 years). The strongest predictors of death for the full cohort were dementia type (higher risk with non-AD dementias), sex (higher risk with male sex), and race and ethnicity (higher risk with white and non-Hispanic participants). Age was associated with higher mortality risk across the non-Alzheimer dementias; other significant associations included worse cognitive status (FTLD, LBD) and more depression (LBD). Conclusion: Results can help clinicians counsel individuals with dementia and families regarding average dementia trajectories; findings regarding individual risk factors can aid individualizing expectations. Further research is needed to investigate drivers of mortality in the non-AD dementias to improve counseling and help identify potentially modifiable factors.
Modifiable Factors Associated with Reversion from Mild Cognitive Impairment to Cognitively Normal Status: A Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Sha Feng , Zhao Ziyi , Wei Chang , Li Bingyu
Published: March 2022

Background: Previous studies found that about 24% of the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients reverse to cognitive normal (CN) status. However, it is unclear which modifiable factors are associated with this reversion. Objective: To identify potential modifiable factors associated with the reversion of MCI to CN status. Methods: We conducted a prospective community-based cohort study based on 2002–2018 Chinese Longitudinal Health Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Multivariable Cox regression with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalty for variable selection was adopted to investigate the associations between reversion to CN and potential modifiable dietary/lifestyle, cardiometabolic, and psychological factors. Results: Our analysis included 7,422 MCI participants [average age: 90.0 (SD 9.5) years]. Among these participants, 1,604 (21.6%) reversed from MCI to CN with a mean (SD) follow-up of 2.9 (1.8) years. Several dietary/lifestyle factors, including daily consumption of fresh fruits (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.15 to 1.42), engagement in reading (HR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.54), housework (HR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.35), and mah-jongg or other card games (HR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.39), were positively associated with possibility of reversion. Cigarette smoking (HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.84 to 1.00) and duration of alcohol drinking (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94 to 0.99) were negatively associated with possibility of reversion. None of the modifiable cardiometabolic and psychological factors was found to be significantly associated with reversion to CN. Conclusion: This study identified several dietary/lifestyle factors associated with MCI reversion that may transfer into large-scale dementia prevention practices.

Authors: Ali Zeeshan , Mahmood Tahir , Panityakul Thammarat
Published: March 2022

Bonferroni means (BM) operator is the extended form of the arithmetic mean operator, used for simplifying non-dominant and non-feasible problems diagnosed in genuine life scenarios. A lot of aggregation operators are the specific parts of the BM operators under the consideration of different values of parameters which are the main parts of the BM operators. In the presence of the BM operator and a very well-known conception in the scenario of fuzzy set, called complex Pythagorean fuzzy (CPF) setting, the objective of this scenario is to diagnose the CPF power BM (CPFPBM) operator and utilize their beneficial results with important properties. Moreover, a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) technique is evaluated in the presence of invented operators for CPF settings. In the last of this study, we diagnosed the superiority and efficiency of the invented works with the help of sensitive analysis and graphical illustrations to enhance the gap of the research works.
Cardiorespiratory fitness in police recruits: Assessing the validity of the 20-meter shuttle run test for recruitment purposes
Authors: Poirier Sébastien , Gendron Annie , Trudeau François , Lajoie Claude
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Although the 20-meter shuttle run test (20MSR) is frequently used by police organisations for recruitment purposes, to our knowledge no study has yet assessed the accuracy of this test to estimate maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) in police recruits. OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study was to assess the validity of the 20MSR as a predictor of VO2max in police cadets. METHODS: 49 police cadets completed both an indirect calorimetry VO2max assessment and a 20MSR. Based on their results, estimated VO2max was calculated using an established equation. Furthermore, two models estimating the VO2max was also developed using the final stage completed and sex as independent variables in the first model (model A) as well as the final half-stage completed and sex in the second model (model B). RESULTS: A strong and significant bivariate correlation was found between measured VO2max and the final stage completed at the 20MSR (r = 0.874, p < 0.001). Nevertheless, limits of agreement analysis showed relatively large agreement errors between measured VO2max and estimated VO2max based on the established equation (0.46±6.29 ml·min–1·kg–1), model A (0.00±5.58 ml min–1 kg–1), and model B (0.00±5.48 ml min–1·kg–1). CONCLUSIONS: Although the 20MSR can be a useful tool to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness for research and conditioning purposes, the large agreement errors found in this study suggest that results at the 20MSR should be interpreted with caution when making “pass or fail” decisions.

Authors: Calvo Daniel de Souza Costa , Ferreira João Alberto , Cunha Daisy Moreira , Mendes Davidson Passos
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: The topic right to refuse to do hazardous work/to be exposed to serious and imminent risks is herein presented as the central and fundamental axis on issues associated with workers’ health and safety. OBJECTIVE: Investigating how the topic right to refuse to do hazardous work/be exposed to serious and imminent risks may be used as condition and strategy to manage work in the Surgical Center of a hospital. METHODS: The research methodology focused on establishing dialogue among Activity-centered Ergonomics (Ergonomic Workplace Analysis –EWA), Ergology, Action-Research and Ethnography. Samples were collected from March to September 2018 and comprised 120 hours of data, in total. The Surgical Center of the investigated hospital was the place of choice to conduct the study. Assistive Nurses accounting for managing and operating the entire sector were the analyzed population. RESULTS: The concept of refusal was expanded and (re)signified beyond the workers’ health and safety perspective, since it was also linked to variables such as environment, quality of products/processes and social accountability. CONCLUSIONS: Refusal does not only mean not doing what is requested, but performing the task requested by other means and paths that are always guided by one’s commitment to achieve the overall proposed productive outcomes. The right to refuse is more than a management tool, it is a broad and effective work organization strategy.

Authors: Jahangiri Mehdi , Choobineh Alireza , Malakoutikhah Mahdi , Hassanipour Soheil , Zare Asma
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Surgeon’s hands are exposed to a range of chemical and physical stressors that influence the integrity of gloves. Thus, glove perforation facilitates pathogen transmission through the holes. Numerous studies have shown that glove perforation is of great importance, but there is still no complete consensus. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the safety conditions of surgical gloves based on the incidence of glove perforation among surgical teams. METHODS: A literature review was conducted by searching PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ISI, and ProQuest databases. The incidence of glove perforation was reviewed in eight categories. A total of 580 articles were found in the initial search. RESULTS: 109 articles containing 130 datasets were analyzed. The overall incidence of glove perforation was 14.44 %. Surgeons had the highest incidence of glove perforation (23.09 %). An increase in the duration of surgery increased the odds of perforation. It was found that 68.58% of the glove perforations were not identified by practitioners. CONCLUSION: Despite major advances in the design of surgical gloves, the issue of safety and integrity of gloves has not improved. Due to the high incidence of surgical glove perforations, most of which had not been identified, it is imperative to consider strategies to minimize the incidence of perforation. The results of the present study can be used to integrate information related to the rate of perforation of surgical gloves in different surgeries.

Authors: Doğan Aysel , Karasu Fatma , Yilmaz Leyla
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: In order for nurses to provide the desired/expected care during the COVID-19 pandemic, the personal protective equipment (PPE) they use should not cause additional damage. OBJECTIVE: The current study examined the effect of nurses’ use of PPE on their vital signs during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The present study was executed in a public hospital located in Turkey between October 2020 and December 2020 with a total of 112 nurses, 54 of them were serving in COVID-19 clinics, and 58 of them were working in other clinics. The data of the study was collected by using the introductory information form, the vital signs measurement, and the Visual Analogue Scale. The numbers, percentages, means, standard deviation, Chi-square, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: The mean scores of SpO2, respiratory rate, body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure measurements of the nurses in the experimental group were compared before and after putting on the PPE. It was found that the difference between the two averages was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: It was found that the use of PPE for a long time causes a decrease in SpO2, increase in respiratory rate, pulse and blood pressure, as well as the aches in face, ear, nose and head.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: Existing studies on the impact of background music in the workplace have reported varying results, from improving production and performance to being known as an annoying factor. Given the lack of evidence of the background music influence on the cognitive factors in the work place in previous studies and the lack of study on the effect of background music on skill performance when gender and personality type is considered, research in this area seems necessary. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the influence of background music on cognitive and skill performance in the work place with regard to gender and personality type. METHODS: This study was conducted with the participation of 52 students (26 males and 26 females) aged between 18–30 years old. Sustained attention, working memory, fine finger and gross manual dexterity skills and personality type were assessed. Participants were randomly tested once when being exposed to classical instrumental music and once again when faced with complete silence RESULTS: Playing background music improved students working memory but had no significant effect on sustained attention. Music also improved skill performance.Overall, memory performance and fine finger dexterity were found significantly better in extroverts when compared to introverts during playing background music. CONCLUSION: Background music improves working memory and speeds up performance in skill tasks, however the role of personality type in influencing background music on cognitive and skill performance needs further investigation.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: People with mental health-related disabilities still experience difficulties in obtaining and maintaining a job. Previous international studies inform about employment barriers and facilitators but there is insufficient research in Spain. OBJECTIVE: To explore what type of employment barriers and facilitators were important for people with psychiatric disabilities with past work experiences in competitive and protected work settings. METHODS: In-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews with 24 participants selected through purposive sampling. RESULTS: The personal sphere was the content most closely related to barriers, followed by the social environment. Facilitators were more closely related to the interviewees’ social network, followed by elements in their personal sphere and job environment. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest the need to implement supported employment services in Spain to promote hiring people with psychiatric disabilities in competitive companies. The results also indicate the need to implement new services aimed at supporting the management of disability information during the process of obtaining and maintaining a job, while there is still a need to conduct anti-stigma and anti-discrimination campaigns.

The article presents statistical data on the level of consumption of bread and bread products in Russia. The rise in grain and flour prices in 2020 contributed to the emergence of two processes in the grain market conjuncture. On the one hand, there was a tendency for the quality of mass-produced bread varieties to deteriorate, the prices of which practically did not change, and producers were forced to work with cheaper low-quality flour. On the other hand, a segment of the market of bakery products for healthy nutrition, produced with the use of non-traditional cereals, seed and dietary supplements, sold at a higher price, began to form. The article presents the development of an assortment of bakery and flour confectionery products for functional and specialized purposes, contributing to the prevention of a number of alimentary diseases by covering the needs for scarce nutrients, and providing a better adaptive ability of the body both under normal conditions and in cases of extreme conditions and increased loads.

Authors: Carvalho Murilo Alves , Cantão Elbert Wander
Published: March 2022

A população idosa tem aumentado consideravelmente em todo o mundo. O envelhecimento é um processo inevitável, variando somente de indivíduo para indivíduo. No processo do envelhecimento são notados diversos declínios físicos como a diminuição da flexibilidade, força e massa muscular, tornando os idosos mais frágeis, com limitação funcional e dificultando a realização de suas atividades diárias. Sabe-se que o treinamento de força na terceira idade visa proporcionar o enfrentamento desse novo modo de vida com menos limitações, mais independência, resgatando a sua autoestima que é um fator determinante em relação a manutenção da qualidade de vida e do bem-estar desta população. A flexibilidade em indivíduos idosos é um componente importante da aptidão física e a sua boa manutenção garante uma maior amplitude nos movimentos corporais, promovendo melhorias na execução de atividades cotidianas com efeitos benéficos na qualidade de vida. Sendo assim, seria o treinamento de força em idosos capaz de melhorar, além da força, a flexibilidade desse público? O presente estudo, do tipo descritivo e bibliográfico, teve como objetivo geral buscar a interação entre as capacidades físicas força e flexibilidade no treinamento de força em idosos e forma mais específica, conhecer quais são os efeitos do treinamento de força na flexibilidade dos idosos. Para a coleta dos dados, foram utilizadas as bases científicas eletrônicas: PubMed, SciELO, Google Acadêmico dentre outras. Ao final, 39 trabalhos foram selecionados para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho. Segundo a literatura revisada, conclui-se que o treinamento de força em idosos proporcionou diversos benefícios, como o aumento de força, resistência e também foi capaz de melhorar a flexibilidade do público-alvo. Todos esses benefícios geraram um ganho no desempenho funcional e melhora da qualidade vida, retardando alguns efeitos fisiológicos do envelhecimento. Dessa forma, cabe aos profissionais de educação física utilizar os conhecimentos adquiridos, tanto teóricos como práticos, como forma de prescrever a atividade de maneira correta e segura, possibilitando o idoso envelhecer com saúde e melhor qualidade de vida.

Le tecnologie svolgono un ruolo importante nel sistema educativo. Essendo un partner di lavoro nell’educazione, collaborano all’appropriazione della conoscenza, considerando che la conoscenza è incompiuta e c’è sempre qualcosa di nuovo da imparare. È noto che garantire l’accesso alla conoscenza è il ruolo della scuola, che dovrebbe democratizzare il patrimonio culturale esistente. In considerazione di ciò, la scuola, attraverso l’inclusione digitale, può responsabilizzare i cittadini più critici, pensanti e preparati ad affrontare le sfide sociali della vita. In questo modo, l’inclusione digitale porta grandi benefici sotto l’aspetto del sistema educativo e di apprendimento. In questo contesto, questo articolo mira a rispondere: Qual è l’importanza dell’inclusione digitale nell’istruzione? L’obiettivo della ricerca è quello di riflettere sull’importanza dell’inclusione digitale nel sistema educativo. Avendo come metodologia bibliografica, basata su diversi autori, che si occupano del tema studiato. I risultati hanno mostrato che troppa fornitura di informazioni può causare conoscenze non sistematizzate e la scuola è responsabile della sistematizzazione di questa conoscenza. Pertanto, l’istruzione e le tecnologie devono andare insieme per l’espansione e l’organizzazione della conoscenza. Si è anche concluso che nell’era dell’informazione è essenziale utilizzare le tecnologie dell’informazione nella costruzione della conoscenza, per soddisfare le attuali esigenze degli studenti, nel mezzo dei progressi tecnologici. Essendo di fondamentale importanza l’inclusione delle tecnologie nell’educazione per un apprendimento significativo e il restringimento delle informazioni tra gli studenti, per l’aumento delle competenze e lo sviluppo sociale.

Background Many of these plants, have therapeutic effects and can be extracted and used in preparation of drugs, used directly or in combination with other plant extracts for medication which is a common practice in developing counties. Unfortunately, many of those who utilize these plants therapeutically do not have adequate knowledge or training in the safe use of the products. For these reasons, natural plant products need to be standardized and preliminary studies done to evaluate possible risks such as undesirable side effects, overdose and toxicity.
Results Ethyl acetate extract of Musa × paradisiaca L shown anticervical carcinoma and anti-malignant melanoma activity in our study. Antioxidant activity demonstrated, that Musa × Paradisiaca L. leaves ethyl extract exhibited % inhibition at absorbance 517 nm with IC50 values = 3.70 to 45.50 at different concentration and compared with ascorbic acid as standard drug.
Conclusions The present study indicates the anticancer and antioxidant activity on the basis of biological and phytochemical screening of Musa × paradisiaca L leaves extract. Ethyl acetate extract of leaves was evaluated for its anticancer activity. In vitro anticancer activity of extract were estimated by measuring significant inhibition of HeLa and A375 cell lines by MTT assay. The MTT assay clearly indicates that the inhibition or inhibitory activity of the extract was concentration dependent. Maximum inhibition of cell growth was found at the concentration of 320 µg/ml which was 54.35 and 55.97, respectively for HeLa and A375 cell lines. Therefore, 320 µg/ml concentration of extract was used to study the IC50 value that was calculated as 249.1 and 224.4, respectively. Antioxidant activity demonstrated that, plant extract exhibited percentage inhibition with IC50 values = 3.70 to 45.50 at different concentration and compared with ascorbic acid as standard drug.
Indices in Ivory: Inspiring Affective Piety with a Walrus Ivory Christ
Authors: Hafer Mia
Published: March 2022

The Crucified Christ (Figure 1), now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, captures both Christ’s serene acceptance of death and the graphic reality of mortality in a way rarely seen in medieval ivory carvings. Crafted by a Parisian artisan working in either England or Cologne around 1300, the seven-inch-tall statue now stands devoid of its arms and the small crucifix to which it was originally attached.1 Christ is depicted with his head falling slightly forward, the smooth S-curve of his body emphasizing his youthful form and artfully crossed legs. Scant remains of gold leaf on Christ’s hair and beard encircle the figure’s face in a heavenly light, emphasizing Christ’s calm dignity  which  was  maintained  even  in  death.  Remnants  of red paint accentuate Christ’s side wound and trail downward, mimicking the appearance of a trickle of dried blood. What makes this piece notable, however, is not the style in which it was carved, but the medium itself—walrus ivory. I argue that  the  material  of  the  Crucified Christ,  as  manipulated  by  the  sculptor,  lends  itself  to  affective  contemplation,  shaping  the viewer’s devotional experience. By examining how sight, light, touch, and theology shaped a viewer’s perception of the work, I demonstrate how such pieces served to close the gap between the absent divine and the affective devotee.
Sight, Sound, and Silence at the Oratorio of San Bernardino in Clusone
Authors: Verduci Angelica
Published: March 2022

Recently, Chiara Frugoni has reiterated this lauda-fresco relationship, also briefly mentioning that the disciplini might have gathered in front of the Triumph of Death and Dance of Deathmural to read and recite “Io sono per nome chiamata morte.”8 Building on these observations, my contribution in this article is to specifically explore the performative ways in which the Bianchi could have interacted with the images on the façade of their oratory while reciting the lauda “Io sono per nome chiamata morte” aloud. My in-depth analysis of several passages from this vernacular poem confirms that the narrative in the fresco was modeled on the content of this text. I argue that, by incorporating and engaging with images that  foreground  the  senses  of  sight  and  hearing,  the  iconography  of  the  Clusone  fresco  becomes  a  multi-sensory  meditation on “Io son per nome chiamata morte.” In particular, I posit that the conversation between Death and the disciplino,  as  conveyed  in  this  lauda,  is  primarily  envisioned  in  the  representation of Mors triumphans standing on the uncovered sarcophagus  at  the  top  of  the  fresco.  Death  in  triumph  not  only defiantly faces its onlookers—the Bianchi—by establishing eye contact with them but it also opens its jaw in a sign of speech. The words pronounced by Death, reported on two of  the  four  scrolls  at  the  top  of  the  Clusone  painting,  correspond to those voiced by the personification of Death in “Io son per some chiamata morte.” I thus suggest that these verses inscribed in the fresco would have functioned as a memory prompt for each disciplino, who, in turn, would have recalled and recited  aloud  the  other  lines  from  the  same  lauda,  thus  activating a dialogue with Death.
Embodying Violence, Manipulating Space: The Irony of Valloton's Police States
Authors: Hillman Jordan
Published: March 2022

In  the  last  decades  of  the  nineteenth  century,  the  visual and experiential character of the French capital was being reshaped as the urban street took on renewed social significance. Though considered a politically charged site of demonstration and insurrection since the Revolution, widespread social protests in the 1890s exacerbated the perceived danger of proletarian crowds. Propelled by heightened tensions between the bourgeois establishment and increasingly radical social reformers, the anarchist movement also reached a fever pitch around 1895. The arch of anarchism’s rise in France coincided with Vallotton’s arrival there and the height of his illustrious graphic career working for popular and fine art ventures alike. The candor and irony of Vallotton’s art has not been lost on art historians, though much of the scholarship has tended to focus on his uneasy relationship to the Nabis and his later painting career, which became the artist’s primary focus after 1899. When studies have addressed his graphic work, it has typically been in the context of his virtuosic handling of the woodcut medium or his prolific illustrations for the popular press. Recently, however, scholars like Richard Thomson and Bridget Alsdorf have undertaken more sustained examinations of Vallotton’s graphic interest in violence and the law. Building on and diverging from these studies, I argue that the seeming violence of Vallotton’s  spatial  interventions  in  his  police  prints—the transposition of space into form and back again—works not as hyperbole but rather as an astute expression of the unpredict-able and shifting experiences with police in the streets of Paris.
