The Politics and Aesthetics of Rediscovering Heroes of the “Red Classics” in Lianhuanhua of the Reform Era
Authors: Roberts Rosemary
Published: May 2018

Lianhuanhua (picture story books) became popular in China in the 1920s and 30s and had their golden age between the 1950s and 1970s when many of the “red classic” tales of communist heroes appeared in lianhuanhua form. With the advent of the Reform Era lianhuanhua lost their appeal as television took over popular entertainment and people turned away from the propaganda-style stories of class conflict.
In the new millennium, however, economic and social uncertainty brought nostalgia for the past. The old stories reappeared, often as reprints, but also frequently in remakes and adaptations. It is argued that while the reprints catered to nostalgic longings, the remakes and adaptations addressed themselves to current concerns. In a case study of 2 new lianhuanhua versions of Red Classics, Red Sister-in-law and Who is the most lovable person? this chapter considers how socio-economic change and changing political needs of the Communist Party reshaped each of the lianhuanhua with respect to 1) the content of its textual component through the extension of the original story and 2) the graphic component through a changed aesthetics and politics of portraiture, marking a fundamental shift in the role of the working class as hero, subject and reader.
Making Book History: Engaging Maker Culture and 3D Technologies to Extend Bibliographical Pedagogy
Authors: Jacobs Courtney , McIntosh Marcia , O’Sullivan Kevin M.
Published: May 2018

Once highlighted as a hobbyist’s novelty, allied technologies such as 3D scanning, 3D modeling, and 3D printing are fueling vital new advances in a diversity of fields: in biomedical research, human tissue is being 3D printed to form human organs; the development of 3D printed titanium parts in aerospace engineering will save airplane manufacturers millions of dollars per plane; and 3D printing allows mathematicians to create intricate physical representations of geometric models that are otherwise difficult to visualize. Though 3D technologies have only recently gained a similar foothold throughout the humanities, the results are no less encouraging. Perhaps unsurprisingly, these projects focus in large part upon furthering our understanding of physical artifacts. Recent examples range from detailed replicas of delicate fossils and high-resolution 3D scans of engraved wooden blocks to 3D models of damaged paintings and fragile medieval artifacts. Application of these technologies naturally aligns with the study of material culture, facilitating the understanding of and access to rare and delicate materials. The appearance of 3D technologies within special collections is thus a fitting development.
Alison Cullingford. The Special Collections Handbook, Second Edition.
Authors: Gorman Keith Phelan
Published: May 2018

Alison Cullingford’s The Special Collections Handbook provides information specialists with a timely guide to managing the rapid and continuous changes buffeting today’s libraries, archives, and museums. First published in 2011 during the global recession, the book focuses on all aspects of special collections work. The work is informed by the ongoing political and economic uncertainties caused by budget cuts and austerity policies in the cultural heritage and education sectors. Since the book’s initial publication, information specialists have recognized the need to “tell their story” and demonstrate their value to parent organizations, donors, and community members. Advocacy and community engagement are now seen as being critical business functions. Indeed, Cullingford argues that librarians and archivists must adopt a new “mind-set” (along with skills and tools) if they are to be successful in the digital era. The revised and greatly expanded 2017 second edition of The Special Collections Handbook examines this new mentality and professional shift in priorities. According to the author, special collections specialists must embrace innovation, entrepreneurialism, and marketing to navigate the current turbulent information environment.
David Thomas, Simon Fowler, and Valerie Johnson. The Silence of the Archive.
Authors: Livingston Tamara E.
Published: May 2018

The Silence of the Archive is a deceptively slim volume, for within its covers the reader discovers a wide-ranging, thought-provoking conversation that brings together fascinating examples and anecdotes from archival history and a variety of perspectives and insightful commentary, all arranged in a thematic exploration of the silences or absences in archives. The result is a timely contribution that succeeds in asking the big questions so necessary for the survival of archives in today’s world and bridging the gap in the archival literature between practical manuals and the contributions of archival theorists, historians, cultural theorists, and others about the archival endeavor. In considering what archives are not, the authors ironically bring us much closer to a grounded holistic understanding of what archives are, and what the role of archivists is, or should be.
‘Painted fancy’s unsuspected scope’
Authors: Callaghan Madeleine
Published: May 2018

This chapter readsQueen Mab, Poetical Essay on the Existing State of Things and the Esdaile Notebook as representative of the range and ambition of Shelley’s early poetry. Exploring the aesthetic power and pleasure embedded in these poems, this chapter explores Shelley’s poetic as well as his polemical faculty. Focusing on previously neglected works, the early work is shown to be deeply significant in its own right, not only for its later echoes in Shelley’s more mature poetry. Particular attention is paid to Shelley’s letter to Elizabeth Hitchener of 16 October 1811, where the performance of this letter sheds light upon the passionate ambition of Shelley’s early poetry. This chapter stresses Shelley’s burgeoning interest in artistry in his poetry and letters, revealing his early work as increasingly alert to the possibilities and the limits of language.
‘The right road to Paradise’
Authors: Callaghan Madeleine
Published: May 2018

This chapter reads Adonais and The Triumph of Life as united by their intense exploration of the purpose, possibilities, and limits of poetry, from elegiac commemoration to visionary rhyme. Though many of Shelley’s poetic works are informed by close attention to these questions, their significance becomes heightened in these late poems. The reading of Adonais sees Shelley’s and Keats’s 1820 letters influence the elegy profoundly, and I read Shelley as fashioning Adonais as a response to their mutual advice. The Triumph of Life grows out of the echo chamber of his response to the literature in which he was steeped as he composed his final poem. Yet rather than the poem being of interest for its status in relation to other works, a letter to John Gisborne of 10 April 1822 reveals the complexity of Shelley’s artistic reaction to his peers which he embeds into the poem. Both poems stand as achievements of serious ambition and poetic consequence.
Peripheral Visions / Global Sounds
Authors: Colmeiro José
Published: May 2018

Galician audio/visual culture has experienced an unprecedented period of growth following the process of political and cultural devolution in post-Franco Spain. This creative explosion has occurred in a productive dialogue with global currents and with considerable projection beyond the geopolitical boundaries of the nation and the state, but these seismic changes are only beginning to be the subject of attention of cultural and media studies. This book examines contemporary audio/visual production in Galicia as privileged channels through which modern Galician cultural identities have been imagined, constructed and consumed, both at home and abroad. The cultural redefinition of Galicia in the global age is explored through different media texts (popular music, cinema, video) which cross established boundaries and deterritorialise new border zones where tradition and modernity dissolve, generating creative tensions between the urban and the rural, the local and the global, the real and the imagined. The book aims for the deperipheralization and deterritorialization of the Galician cultural map by overcoming long-established hegemonic exclusions, whether based on language, discipline, genre, gender, origins, or territorial demarcation, while aiming to disjoint the center/periphery dichotomy that has relegated Galician culture to the margins. In essence, it is an attempt to resituate Galicia and Galician studies out of the periphery and open them to the world.
Peripheral Visions, Global Positions
Authors: Colmeiro José
Published: May 2018

Chapter 1 aims for a perspectival shift in the approach to remapping contemporary Galician culture and the challenges and opportunities it faces in a global environment. The chapter follows a postnational, non-canonical, and multi/interdisciplinary cultural studies approach, reflecting issues of transnational mobility, migration and transatlantic studies, more in sync with the hybrid complexities of contemporary cultural production. My theoretical perspective is particularly sensitive to the multiple interactions between the local and the global, and the creation of “glocal” realities in complex relations of interdependence and interpenetration.
Deterritorialization and Deperipheralization: Galician Studies at the Global Crossroads
Authors: Colmeiro José
Published: May 2018

This chapter focuses on the relocation of Galicia between the local and the global, and examine how Galicia’s geopolitical and cultural borders are being redefined in the global age. The analysis proposes the deterritorialisation of the Galician cultural map to overcome long-established exclusions based on gender, national origin, language or territorial demarcation, and the disjointing of the center/periphery dichotomy that has relegated Galician culture to the margins, which is coined as deperipheralization. The chapter questions the conventional relations between territory, culture, language and nation, and challenges the disciplinary limitations that have traditionally defined the field of Galician studies.
Made in Galicia: Making the Invisible Visible
Authors: Colmeiro José
Published: May 2018

Chapter 4 focuses on new conceptual approaches to the study of peripheral cinemas, and Galician cinema in particular. It examines the conditions that have shaped the development of Galician cinema historically and it explores different cinematic modes, from the cinema of migration or the folkloric “gallegada”, to the post-Franco boom in Galician cinema with the emergence of a viable commercial cinema, the establishment of an auteur tradition, and the appearance of new non-conventional experimental cinema trends.
Delayed bipedicled nasolabial flap in facial reconstruction
Authors: Goh Cindy Siaw-Lin , Perrett Joshua Guy , Wong Manzhi , Tan Bien-Keem
Published: May 2018

Background The nasolabial flap is ideal for reconstruction of the nasal alar subunit due to its proximity, color and contour match, and well-placed donor scar. When raised as a random-pattern flap, there is a risk of vascular compromise to the tip with increased flap length and aggressive flap thinning. Surgical delay can greatly improve the chances of tip survival, allowing the harvest of longer flaps with greater reach.

Methods We describe our technique of lengthening the nasolabial flap through multiple delay procedures. A bipedicled flap was first raised and then transferred as a unipedicled flap with a 6:1 length-to-width ratio. During the delay process, the flap tip was thinned to the subdermal layer.

Results In our case series of seven patients, defects as far as the medial canthal area and contralateral ala were reconstructed successfully with no incidence of tip necrosis or flap loss. The resultant flaps were thin enough to be folded over for the reconstruction of alar rim defects.

Conclusions We highlight the success of our surgical technique in creating thin and robust nasolabial flaps for the reconstruction of full-thickness defects around the nose.
Two sequential free flaps for coverage of a total knee implant
Authors: Ng Siew Weng , Fong Hui Chai , Tan Bien-Keem
Published: May 2018

Knee revision arthroplasty following peri-prosthetic joint infections is a formidable challenge. Patients are at a high risk of recurrent infection, and the soft tissue over the revised implant is often of questionable quality. Flap reconstruction has improved the salvage rates of infected arthroplasties, and should be considered in all cases of revision arthroplasty. We present a challenging case requiring staged reconstruction with two free latissimus dorsi flaps after the initial use of a medial gastrocnemius flap.
The lateral intercostal artery perforator as an alternative donor vessel for free vascularized lymph node transplantation
Authors: Kwak Min-Seok Daniel , Machens Hans-Guenther
Published: May 2018

Chronic lymphedema is caused by an impairment of the lymphatic system due to primary or secondary causes. Vascularized lymph node transplantation (VLNT) is currently the most promising and frequently used technique besides lymphaticovenous anastomosis. However, the vessel anatomy in the lateral thoracic region is sometimes quite variable. Based on our experiences with vascular anatomical inconstancy in the lateral thoracic region, we planned a lateral intercostal artery perforator flap for VLNT in a female patient with chronic stage II lymphedema of both legs after cervical cancer treatment. After surgery, the patient reported significant improvement in limb volume and the accompanying symptoms. The limb circumference was reduced by an average of 19.2% at 6 months postoperatively. Despite having a short pedicle and small vessel caliber, the lateral intercostal artery perforator flap can safely be used for VLNT in lymphedema patients with anatomical variants.
Molecular and Biochemical Characterization of a Salt Tolerant α-Amylase Producing Isolate NH-25
Authors: Mahnaz Ahmad  , Raheela Rahmat Zohra  , Shah Ali Ul Qader
Published: May 2018

Halophiles are considered as important sources of extremozymes that are not only salt tolerant but can catalyze reactions efficiently under harsh conditions of various industrial processes. Among industrially important enzymes alpha amylase is used in many industries such as starch, pharmaceutical, detergent, paper, food, and textile. Due to wide applications there is a continuous need for novel sources of the enzyme to be discovered. One of the new variant from various amylase producing isolates of marine samples of Arabian Sea, an industrial dumping site and a rich natural source, particularly for microbes, a salt tolerant α-amylase producer was studied. This isolate based on cultural characteristics, biochemical tests and molecular characterization inferred from 16s rDNA sequencing identified as Bacillus subtilis NH-25.

Published: May 2018

La calidad de vida de la población adulta chilena está aumentando, lo que genera un gran interés por los estamentos sanitarios-educativos. Este trabajo pretende estudiar la relación que tiene la práctica de actividad física en la resiliencia de adultos mayores con problemas de hombro. Se realizó un estudio de carácter descriptivo y de corte transversal en 41 adultos de Santiago de Chile (Chile), con una edad media de 58.17 años (DT= 11.754), utilizándose como principales instrumentos el cuestionario CD-RISC y la Escala de evaluación de hombro “UCLA. Los resultados arrojaron que la mitad de los adultos realizan actividad física, obteniendo un locus de control y compromiso aceptable, siendo la espiritualidad menos valorada. No se halló relación entre la práctica de actividad física y el género, pero si con las dimensiones de resiliencia con niveles elevados, poniendo de manifiesto que hacer deporte aumenta la resiliencia en adultos.

Authors: Cragnulini F. , Fantuzzi G.
Published: May 2018

El propósito del presente trabajo fue valorar los cambios en el estado de hidratación en ciclistas amateurs de la disciplina mountain bike (Rally) durante una prueba de un día. Método: Se obtuvieron dos muestras de orina, una PRE y otra POST competición en 13 varones de nivel amateur en esta disciplina, en las que se analizó la gravedad específica de la orina (USG) mediante refractómetro. Se registró igualmente el cambio en la masa corporal PRE-POST y se controló el volumen de líquido ingerido durante la competición ad libitum. Resultados: Se observó una USG media PRE competición de 1034,33 ±6,8 y POST de 1034 ± 6,6. Una pérdida de masa corporal relativa del 2,6 ± 0,7 % y una tasa de sudoración media de 707,5 ml/h ± 277,9. Conclusiones: Los resultados obtenidos indican que los ciclistas evaluados comenzaron y terminaron la competición en estado de deshidratación severa (i.e., USG> 1.020). No obstante, a pesar de comenzar en este estado de deshidratación y disponer de avituallamiento líquido y sólido ad libitum, los ciclistas experimentaron una pérdida de masa corporal superior a un 2% durante el evento competitivo.

Published: May 2018

IN RESPONSE TO THE IDEALS OF CULTURAL CRITIQUE, COMPLEXITY AND MORAL RELATIVISM PROMOTED IN POSTMODERN ANTHROPOLOGY, DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN RECENT DECADES TO MAKE ANTHROPOLOGY MORE ‘ENGAGED’ IN THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL CHANGE. IN THIS ARTICLE, WE FOCUS ON THREE CENTRAL CONTEMPORARY POSITIONS ON ANTHROPOLOGICAL ENGAGEMENT: POLICY-ORIENTED ACTIVIST RESEARCH, FEMINIST-INSPIRED COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH, AND WHAT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO CALL RESEARCH FOR ALTERITY AND ALTERNATIVES. EACH OF THESE APPROACHES HIGHLIGHTS CERTAIN IDEAS OF PARTICIPATION AND THEREBY CONJURE UP PARTICULAR KINDS OF COMMUNITIES TO WORK WITH AND THROUGH. WE DISCUSS THE VALUE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE THREE POSITIONS ON ENGAGEMENT AND ARGUE THAT, IN ALL ITS DIVERSITY, ANTHROPOLOGICAL PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH CAN PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN CO-CREATING PLATFORMS FOR RESISTANCE AND PROTEST AGAINST VARIOUS FORMS OF DOMINATION AND OPPRESSION WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTRIBUTING TO PREPARING THE GROUND FOR ALTERNATIVE IMAGINATIONS, DESIRES AND WAYS OF LIVING.
Under the Flyover: Homeless People, Power of Choice and the Practice of Autonomy Through an Exchange Fair
Authors: Santos Luciane Lucas Dos
Published: May 2018

AS IT IS CONSIDERED A FLOW ZONE, NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO FLYOVERS IN THE CITIES NOR TO THEIR REGULAR INHABITANTS, HOMELESS PEOPLE. REGARDLESS OF THEIR SOCIAL INVISIBILITY, HOMELESS PEOPLE DO NOT SOLELY ADOPT STRATEGIES TO FIGHT AGAINST MARGINALISATION BUT ALSO ATTEMPT TO ACHIEVE CERTAIN ECONOMIC AUTONOMY. THIS PAPER FOCUSES ON A LOCAL ECONOMIC EXPERIENCE, WHERE HOMELESS PEOPLE, UNDER A LARGE BRAZILIAN FLYOVER, GET TOGETHER TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN AN EXCHANGE FAIR WHERE A SOCIAL CURRENCY IS USED. I ARGUE THAT WE MUST DRAW ATTENTION TO THE EMERGENCE OF DIFFERENT AND COMPLEX FORMS OF COLLABORATIVE WORK AND COLLECTIVE CONSUMPTION, SINCE THEY MAY RESCUE CITIZENSHIP, PROMOTE A CERTAIN KIND OF ECONOMIC AUTONOMY, AND CONSTITUTE A POWERFUL TOOL AGAINST SOCIAL INVISIBILITY. I ALSO DISCUSS THE DIFFERENT CONSUMPTION PERSPECTIVE THAT HAS BEEN CONSOLIDATED THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE, BY BRINGING FORWARD OTHER FORMS OF CONSUMPTION NOT BASED ON SOCIAL DISTINCTION.
Femmes, Révolution et nouveau gouvernement des corps en Tunisie
Authors: Kilani Mondher
Published: May 2018

Les enjeux de la Révolution tunisienne de janvier 2011 se sont d’emblée situés au niveau de la gestion de la vie dont dépendra finalement le futur modèle de la société. Plus encore que les « modernistes », les « islamistes » ne s’y sont pas trompés, investissant non seulement la scène politique, mais aussi le gouvernement des corps. Une certaine conception de l’islam fonctionne aujourd’hui comme une puissante machine biopolitique qui a affaire à la population comme « problème de pouvoir ». Les préceptes, conduites et comportements avancés au nom du respect de l’islam pénètrent littéralement toute la société et s’introduisent dans ses articulations les plus fines. Les femmes traversent pour une bonne part ce dispositif. Elles en constituent même l’un des enjeux centraux. Pour saisir les nouvelles formes de subjectivation et d’individuation, cet article prendra pour fil conducteur la biopolitique islamiste en tant que projet de société s’inscrivant contre le modèle hérité de la période de Bourguiba et de la dictature de Ben Ali, dont le pivot est le Code du statut personnel, à l’origine d’un changement profond du statut des femmes dans le pays. Promulgué en Tunisie en 1956, celui-ci est considéré par ses opposants comme un élément inspiré de l’étranger, voire comme une hérésie s’attaquant à l’identité religieuse musulmane du pays. De telles contestations donneront lieu à leur tour à des manifestations et des résistances de la part de plusieurs acteurs/actrices de la société, notamment féministes, engagés pour la défense et l’extension des droits des femmes, en conformité avec l’héritage de Habib Bourguiba et en invoquant le credo de la révolution pour l’égalité, la liberté et la dignité. L’argument de l’article se base sur des observations effectuées principalement pendant les quatre premières années de la Révolution et sur un retour réflexif sur les périodes qui l’ont précédée.

What Is the “Philosophy of Film”? An Overview of the State of the Art
 
Resum: En la primera secció d’aquest article traçarem un “estat de la qüestió” del camp d’estudis conegut com a “filosofia del cinema”, amb especial interès en la seua gènesi. Seguirem, en conseqüència, el recorregut del debat meta-teòric que ha determinat els successius canvis de paradigma, centrant els tres moments que han marcat l’evolució dels estudis filosòfics sobre el cinema des dels inicis de la teoria clàssica fins al fragmentat panorama dels nostres dies. En la segona secció exposarem la discussió al voltant de la qüestió del “cinema-com-a-filosofia” (“film as philosophy”), un tòpic recent que ha abordat les possibilitats del cinema com si fóra un autèntic agent filosòfic capaç d’elaborar un tipus de pensament a l’altura de la mateixa filosofia. Aquesta perspectiva ha estat popularitzada en la seua forma actual per Stephen Mulhall, per la qual cosa ens basarem en la seua proposta com a mode de tematitzar la discussió i presentar les seues diferents varietats.
Paraules clau: teoria del cinema; filosofia del cinema; metafilosofia; cinema-com-a-filosofia cognitivisme; Stephen Mulhall; Noël Carroll. 
 
Abstract: In the first section of this paper we will draw a state of the art from the field of studies known as philosophy of film, with a special interest in its origin. In order to do this, we will follow the course of the meta-theorical debate, which has determined the successive paradigm changes, focusing on the three key moments that have marked the evolution of philosophical studies about the cinema, from the beginnings of the classical theory to the nowadays fragmented panorama. In the second section we will discuss the issue of film as philosophy, a recent topic that has presented cinema as a true philosophical agent, introducing such a high complexity thinking capable to match that of philosophy itself. This perspective has been popularized in its current form by Stephen Mulhall, which is the reason why we will use his proposal to thematise the discussion and present its different varieties.

Real Hallucinations
Authors: Ratcliffe Matthew
Published: May 2018

Real Hallucinations is a philosophical study of the structure of human experience, its vulnerability to disruption, and how its integrity depends on interpersonal relations. It focuses on the beguilingly simple question of how we manage to routinely distinguish between our experiences of perceiving, remembering, imagining, and thinking. This question is addressed via a detailed philosophical study of auditory verbal hallucinations (usually defined as hearing a voice in the absence of a speaker) and thought insertion (somehow experiencing one’s own thoughts as someone else’s). The book shows how thought insertion, and also a substantial proportion of auditory verbal hallucinations, consist of disturbances in the structure of experience and –more specifically - in our sense of the various types of intentional state, such as believing, perceiving, remembering, and imagining, as distinct from one another. It is further argued that episodic and seemingly localized experiential disturbances such as these usually occur against a backdrop of less pronounced but much wider-ranging alterations in the structure of intentionality. To do so, the book addresses types of experience associated with trauma, schizophrenia, and profound grief. The outcome of this is a more generally applicable account of how the integrity of human experience, including the most basic sense of self, is inseparable from how we relate to other people and to the social world as a whole.
Exploring the Assumptions of Attachment Theory across Cultures
Authors: Liu Cindy H. , Chen Stephen H. , Bohr Yvonne , Wang Leslie , Tronick Ed
Published: May 2018

Prolonged transnational separation between parents and children is a common occurrence for many families today. Typically motivated by the desire to create a better economic future for the entire family, parents who move abroad in search of work opportunities often face limited childcare options in their country of settlement. This causes some parents to send their infants and young children back to the parental homeland to be cared for by relatives for extended periods. In this chapter, serial attachments and separations among caregivers and children in the United States and China serve as a cultural exemplar to extend and situate the meaning of attachment. The goal is to understand how this practice might affirm and challenge various concepts within attachment theory. Attention is given to the concept of monotropy, a basic component of attachment theory that assumes children’s healthy development depends on a singular attachment created by sensitive interchanges between a parent and child. In turn, new directions are proposed for its measurement and related constructs.

Mechanistic and structural studies of membrane proteins require their stabilization in specific conformations. Single domain antibodies are potent reagents for this purpose, but their generation relies on immunizations, which impedes selections in the presence of ligands typically needed to populate defined conformational states. To overcome this key limitation, we developed an in vitro selection platform based on synthetic single domain antibodies named sybodies. To target the limited hydrophilic surfaces of membrane proteins, we designed three sybody libraries that exhibit different shapes and moderate hydrophobicity of the randomized surface. A robust binder selection cascade combining ribosome and phage display enabled the generation of conformation-selective, high affinity sybodies against an ABC transporter and two previously intractable human SLC transporters, GlyT1 and ENT1. The platform does not require access to animal facilities and builds exclusively on commercially available reagents, thus enabling every lab to rapidly generate binders against challenging membrane proteins.

City of Forests
Authors: Campbell Lindsay K.
Published: May 2018

Chapter three describes the heart of the MillionTreesNYC campaign: planting one million trees. It focuses on the organizational, governance, and material arrangements involved in transforming the city’s urban forest. A formal public-private partnership was created to run the campaign, an example of truly hybrid governance at work. The prominence and scale of the initiative led to major organizational changes in the two core partners. They both garnered and expended massive amounts of financial and human resources in the planting of a million trees. Counting the number of trees planted was central to the public identity and internal functioning of the campaign. The conduct of urban forestry in New York City was radically altered by the MillionTreesNYC campaign. New guidelines, routines, and procedures were developed to alter the practice of urban forestry on streets, in parks, in “natural areas,” on public housing grounds, and on private land.
City as Ecosystem
Authors: Campbell Lindsay K.
Published: May 2018

This 5,000 word chapter brings together the political, discursive, and material threads to consider the “city of forests” and “city of farms” as two different assemblages. It explores these pieces of urban nature in the context of an early-21st century global city that has engaged in municipal long-term sustainability planning, investment in green infrastructure, and creation of food policy visions. It closes with conclusions and further probing questions about how, why, and for whom we create urban forests and farms. In examining what sort of nature we want to produce, the chapter explores possibilities for new governance arrangements, management practices, design strategies, and uses for urban land.

Chapter 5 provides evidence of commitment problems on both the donor and the recipient sides.

Political Offenders in Xingkaihu Labour Camp
Authors: Wang Ning
Published: May 2018

This chapter examines the life experiences of counter-revolutionaries and ultra-rightists in the Xingkaihu labour reform complex. It was the mass persecution of the 1950s and the subsequent shortage of prison facilities that prompted the boom of labour camps in the northeast, including the establishment of Xingkaihu, a colony directly administered by the Beijing Public Security Bureau. In Xingkaihu, student inmates who were mentally or ideologically unyielding were more assertive than others in articulating their opinions, resisting thought reform, and refusing to entirely submit to camp cadres. The chapter shows that the CCP practice of mixing political prisoners with criminal prisoners in labour camps turned out to be quite insidious, enabling the police to use the latter to monitor and discipline the former.

It illustrates that, although the adventurous Great Leap Forward (GLF) and the subsequent great famine formed the general background of the camp experience, the hyperactivism of labour camp authorities and their self-profiteering manoeuvres led to severe food shortages and heavy workloads for the exiles, which, in turn, led to a massive death toll. The impact of local politics upon the actual lives of these exiles was no less severe than was the impact of high politics. Due to difficult life conditions, reprehensible behaviour became commonplace in the daily lives of political exiles, exacerbating the physical abuse meted out by camp authorities.
Deaf in the USSR
Authors: Shaw Claire L.
Published: May 2018

Deaf in the USSR explores the history of the deaf community in the Soviet Union from the February Revolution of 1917 until the collapse of the Soviet state in 1991, situating the experience of deaf people within the broader framework of Soviet programs of identity. Using sources from the All-Russian Society of the Deaf (VOG), a deaf-run state body that can trace its history back to the revolutions of 1917, alongside institutional archives, deaf journalism, literature, theatre, art, cinema and personal memoirs, it considers deaf engagement with the Soviet project to remake society in its various incarnations throughout the Soviet era, and reveals the shifting ways in which the hearing world perceived Soviet deaf lives. By asking what it meant to be deaf in a culture that was founded on a radically utopian, socialist view of humanity, and how Soviet ideologues sought to reconcile the fallibility of the body with the dream of a perfect future society, it interrogates the fundamental contradictions inherent in the Soviet revolutionary project, and reveals how these contradictions were negotiated – both individually and collectively – by Soviet deaf people.
Conclusion
Authors: Freed Joanne Lipson
Published: May 2018

The Conclusion explores how the logic of haunting might recast the stakes, if not the substance, of the World Literature/Comparative Literature debate. Briefly tracing some of the most influential arguments in favor of sameness—in the form of translation, literary circulation and critical expansiveness—and difference—in the form of singularity, historical specificity and untranslatability—the conclusion suggests that these two opposing positions are both valid and fundamentally irreconcilable. Recognizing that encounters with works of fiction, like encounters with ghosts, are only temporary allows for this kind of instability; ultimately, it is not the text, but the reader who is responsible for acting ethically toward others in the non-fictional world.

In the Balearic Islands, different trammel net designs have been adopted to promote fisheries sustainability and reduce discards. Here, we compare the catch performance of three trammel net designs targeting the spiny lobster Palinurus elephas in terms of biomass, species composition and revenue from commercial catches and discards. Designs differ in the netting fiber type (standard polyfilament, PMF, or a new polyethylene multi-monofilament, MMF) and the use of a guarding net or greca, a mesh piece intended to reduce discards. Catches were surveyed by an on-board observer from 1,550 netting walls corresponding to 70 nets. The number of marketable species captured indicated that the lobster trammel net fishery has multiple targets, which contribute significantly to the total revenue. The discarded species ranged from habitat-forming species to elasmobranches, but the magnitude of gear-habitat interactions on the long term dynamics of benthos remains unclear. No relevant differences in revenue and weight of discards were detected after Bayesian analyses. However, the species composition of discards was different when using greca. Interestingly, high immediate survival was found for discarded undersized lobsters, while a seven day survival assessment, using captive observation, gave an asymptotic estimate of survival probability as 0.64 (95% CI [0.54–0.76]). Therefore, it is recommended that it would be beneficial for this stock if an exemption from the EU landing obligation regulation was sought for undersized lobsters in the Balearic trammel net fishery.

Ecological monitoring programs typically aim to detect changes in the abundance of species of conservation concern or which reflect system status. Coral reef fish assemblages are functionally important for reef health and these are most commonly monitored using underwater visual surveys (UVS) by divers. In addition to estimating numbers, most programs also collect estimates of fish lengths to allow calculation of biomass, an important determinant of a fish’s functional impact. However, diver surveys may be biased because fishes may either avoid or are attracted to divers and the process of estimating fish length could result in fish counts that differ from those made without length estimations. Here we investigated whether (1) general diver disturbance and (2) the additional task of estimating fish lengths affected estimates of reef fish abundance and species richness during UVS, and for how long. Initial estimates of abundance and species richness were significantly higher than those made on the same section of reef after diver disturbance. However, there was no evidence that estimating fish lengths at the same time as abundance resulted in counts different from those made when estimating abundance alone. Similarly, there was little consistent bias among observers. Estimates of the time for fish taxa that avoided divers after initial contact to return to initial levels of abundance varied from three to 17 h, with one group of exploited fishes showing initial attraction to divers that declined over the study period. Our finding that many reef fishes may disperse for such long periods after initial contact with divers suggests that monitoring programs should take great care to minimise diver disturbance prior to surveys.

At an implant biointerface, where an engineered material merges into a biological environment, complex biophysicochemical interactions occur. One typical biointerface is the bond between human bone and dental or orthopedic implants, which is based on the biomineralization of essential bone components such as hydroxyapatite, at the implant surface. However, the exact bonding mechanism between bone and implants is still unclear. The distribution of both the mineralized and organic components of bone at the interface, and their origins, requires improved characterization. Here, the first correlative characterization is reported using multiple‐length‐scale tomography and spectroscopy techniques to probe the chemical structure of the biointerface between human bone and commercial titanium dental implant down to the atomic scale in four dimensions (4D). The existence of an intervening transition zone bonding mature bone tissue is demonstrated to implant at multiple length scales, where the phase of bone mineral differs immediately adjacent to the implant and atomic‐scale osseointegration is confirmed. The correlative 4D electron energy loss spectroscopy tomography and atom probe tomography workflow established herein is transferable to other applications in materials or biological sciences.

Miniaturized, wearable, and implantable optoelectronic devices and systems provide incomparable opportunities for applications in biomedical fields. Optical filters with wavelength selective reflective/transmissive responses that can be integrated onto these biointegrated platforms are critically important for high performance operation. Here, high quality, dielectric thin‐film optical filters on unconventional substrates via transfer printing are reported. Designed filters formed on flexible substrates exhibit highly spectral selective transmission and reflection, with the maximum optical density at stop band reaching 6. Additionally, freestanding filter membranes are combined with microscale optoelectronic devices, achieving enhanced emission intensity for light‐emitting diodes and spectral sensitivity for photovoltaic detectors. Finally, their in vitro cytotoxicity is evaluated within cell culture, and in vivo biocompatibility is supported in living animals. The presented results offer viable routes to high performance optical components for advanced biointegrated optoelectronic systems.
Giant Electrostrictive Responses and Temperature Insensitive Strain in Barium Titanate‐Based Ceramics

Here, a large electrostrictive response and temperature‐insensitive strain in BaTiO3 ceramics are realized by introducing (M0.5N0.5)TiO3 (M = K/Na/Li, N = rare earth elements). Temperature (25–130 °C) insensitivity of the giant electrostrictive coefficient (Q
33 = 0.05–0.07 m4 C−2) is observed in BT‐(Li, Ho/Y/Yb)T ceramics, which is almost twice larger than those of other classical ferroelectric ceramics. In addition, the overall variation of the strain value in 0.95BaTiO3–0.05(Li0.5Ho0.5)TiO3 [BT‐(Li, Ho)T] ceramics is less than 5% in the temperature range of room temperature to 130 °C, which is obviously superior to the reported results. It is also found that the Curie temperature of this work can be increased up to 130–145 °C by optimizing the compositions. It is believed that the temperature‐insensitive strain and giant electrostrictive effect can promote the development of lead‐free BaTiO3 ceramics.
