The British Press and Nazi Germany
Authors: Galbraith Kylie 
Published: October 2020

What was known and understood about the nature of the Nazi dictatorship in Britain prior to war in 1939? How was Nazism viewed by those outside of Germany? The British Press and Nazi Germany considers these questions through the lens of the British press.
Until now, studies that centre on British press attitudes to Nazi Germany have concentrated on issues of foreign policy. The focus of this book is quite different. In using material that has largely been neglected, Kylie Galbraith examines what the British press reported about life inside the Nazi dictatorship. In doing so, the book imparts important insights into what was known and understood about the Nazi revolution. And, because the overwhelming proportion of the British public’s only means of news was the press, this volume shows what people in Britain could have known about the Nazi dictatorship. It reveals what the British people were being told about the regime, specifically the destruction of Weimar democracy, the ruthless persecution of minorities, the suppression of the churches and the violent factional infighting within Nazism itself.
This pathbreaking examination of the British press’ coverage of Nazism in the 1930s greatly enhances our knowledge of the fascist regime with which the British Government was attempting to reach agreement at the time.
Writing Architectures
Authors: Frichot Hélène , Stead Naomi 
Published: October 2020

Architects and fiction writers share the same ambition: to imagine new worlds into being. Every architectural proposition is a kind of fiction before it becomes a built fact; likewise, every written fiction relies on the construction of a context in which a story can take place.
This collection of essays explores what happens when fiction, experimental writing and criticism are combined and applied to architectural projects and problems. It begins with the experiment of ficto-criticism – a post-modern and often feminist mode of writing which fuses the forms and genres of essay, critique, and story – and extends it into the domain of architecture, challenging assumptions about our contemporary social and political realities, and placing architecture in contact with such disciplines as cultural studies, literary theory and ethnography. These 16 original pieces have been selected for this volume to show how ficto-critical writing can be a powerful vehicle for creative architectural practice, providing new opportunities to explore modes of writing about architecture both within and beyond the discipline.
The collection represents a broad range of geographical and cultural positions including indigenous and non-Western contexts, and includes a foreword and afterword by important thinkers in the domains of architectural criticism (Jane Rendell) and cultural studies/ethnography (Stephen Muecke).
Bertolt Brecht’s Me-ti
Authors: Brecht Bertolt 
Published: October 2020

Bertolt Brecht’s Me-ti, which remained unpublished in his own lifetime, now appears for the first time in English. Me-ti counselled against ‘constructing too complete images of the world’. For this work of fragments and episodes, Brecht accumulated anecdotes, poems, personal stories and assessments of contemporary politics. Given its controversial nature, he sought a disguise, using the name of a Chinese contemporary of Socrates, known today as Mozi. Stimulated by his humorous aphoristic style and social focus, as well as an ingrained Chinese awareness of the flow of things, Brecht developed a practical, philosophical, anti-systematic ethics, discussing Marxist dialectics, Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, the Moscow trials, and the theories behind current events, while warning how ideology makes people the ‘servants of priests’.
Me-ti is central to an understanding of Brecht’s critical reflections on Marxist dialectics and his commitment to change and the non-eternal, the philosophy which informs much of his writing and his most famous plays, such as The Good Person of Szechwan. Readers will find themselves both fascinated and beguiled by the reflections and wisdom it offers.
First published in German in 1965 and now translated and edited by Antony Tatlow, Brecht’s Me-ti: Book of Interventions in the Flow of Things provides readers with a much-anticipated accessible edition of this important work. It features a substantial introduction to the concerns of the work, its genesis and context, both within Brecht’s own writing and within the wider social and political history, and provides an original selection and organisation of texts. Extensive notes illuminate the work and provide commentary on related works from Brecht’s oeuvre.
Shakespeare in the Theatre: Mark Rylance at the Globe
Authors: Purcell Stephen 
Published: October 2020

Each volume in the Shakespeare in the Theatre series focuses on a director or theatre company who has made a significant contribution to Shakespeare production, identifying the artistic and political/social contexts of their work. The series introduces readers to the work of significant theatre directors and companies whose Shakespeare productions have been transformative in our understanding of his plays in performance. Each volume examines a single figure or company, considering their key productions, rehearsal approaches and their work with other artists.
Since its opening in the late 1990s, the reconstructed Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre has made an indelible impression on the contemporary British theatre scene. This book explores the theatre’s first decade of productions under the pioneering leadership of Sir Mark Rylance. Drawing upon an extensive range of material from the theatre’s archive, interviews with Globe practitioners, and Rylance’s own personal archive, this book argues that the Rylance era was a ground-breaking and important period of recent theatre history. It concludes with an in-depth interview with Rylance himself.

Eric Rohmer
Authors: Hösle Vittorio 
Published: October 2020

Rohmer is one of the most popular French directors of the second half of the 20th century, one of the members of the famous Nouvelle Vague that reconstituted French cinema based on the theoretical principles articulated in the Cahiers du Cinéma – from whose editorship he was fired when the conservative Catholic opposed its turn toward politicization. Like some of his colleagues, Rohmer is extremely interested in both the history and the philosophy of film: Brother of the noted French philosopher René Scherer, he begins his career as a film critic In his films, deep moral conflicts as well as the search for one’s own identity emerge from the intricacies of seemingly superficial everyday life interactions, particularly between a man and a woman.
Hösle’s book puts Rohmer in the context of a long French tradition of reflected eroticism, with Marivaux, Musset, Stendhal, and Jean Renoir as crucial figures, and shows how Rohmer both recognizes the inner logic of eroticism and subjects it to moral demands that he inherits from his Catholic background. For Rohmer, the tension between the two can usually only be solved by some unexpected event that can be interpreted as an equivalent of grace.

Beautifully illustrated, the book contains seven case studies of fashionable Western garments - ranging from an 1820s coat to a 2004 Kenzo jacket - that articulate the methodological framework for the process, illustrate the use of the checklists, and show how evidence from the garment itself can be used to corroborate theories of dress or fashion.
This book outlines a skillset that has, until now, typically been passed on informally. Written in plain language, this book will give any budding fashion historian, curator or researcher the knowledge and confidence to analyse the material in front of them effectively.
The Selected Writings of Maurice O’Connor Drury
Authors: O’Connor Drury Maurice 
Published: October 2020

Maurice O’Connor Drury was among Wittgenstein’s first students after his return to Cambridge in 1929. The subsequent course of Drury’s life and thought was to be enormously influenced by his teacher, from his decision to become a doctor to his later work in psychiatry.
The Selected Writings of Maurice O’Connor Drury brings together the best of his lectures, conversations, and letters on philosophy, religion and medicine. Central to the collection is the Danger of Words, the 1973 text described by Ray Monk as 'the most truly Wittgensteinian book published by any of Wittgenstein's students'. Through notes on conversations with Wittgenstein, letters to a student of philosophy and correspondence of almost 30 years with Rush Rhees, Drury gives shape to what he had learned from Wittgenstein. Whether discussing methods of philosophy, Simone Weil or the power of hypnosis, he makes fascinating excursions into the bearing of Wittgenstein’s thought on philosophy and the practice of medicine and psychiatry.
With an introduction presenting a new biography of Drury, analysing the relationship between him and Wittgenstein, The Selected Writings of Maurice O’Connor Drury features previously unpublished archival sources. Beautifully written and carefully selected, each piece reveals the impact of Wittgenstein’s teachings, shedding light on the friendship and thinking of one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century.
The Silhouette
Authors: Vigarello Georges 
Published: October 2020

From bone-crushing corsets to modern ‘slimming’ creams, our preoccupation with the silhouette has shaped centuries of fashion and culture. The contours of the body can convey everything from physical health and beauty to social class — and both men and women have long sought to mold and reshape them, often with alarming and even dangerous results.
Tracing the history of the silhouette from its birth in 18th century portrait sketches, this engrossing book takes the reader on a journey through 250 years of a cultural obsession. From Hogarth’s ‘line of beauty’ to the advent of nude photography, from the crinoline to the Dior suit and the early bathing costume, The Silhouette reveals how the shape of the body has become an eloquent symbol of status, sexuality and the aspirational quest for physical and moral ‘perfection’.
Drawing on numerous textual and visual resources, leading scholar Georges Vigarello anatomizes a fixation with the human form which has shaped not just our bodies but our very identities. With over 120 color images, The Silhouette is a remarkable resource for scholars, students and fashion-lovers alike.

Authors: Islam Md. Kamrul , Chowdhury Kishwar Jahan , Alam Mohammad Shafiul 
Published: October 2020

Aims: Along with different initiatives in public and private sectors Chittagong city dwellers are also contributing to increasing urban greenery. This study was aimed to find their perception and contribution to urban greenery development.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Chittagong city of Bangladesh in four different residential areas between May 2019 and June 2019.
Methodology: We have surveyed 100 respondent families who were selected through purposive random sampling. After sorting we have used MS excel 2010 to analyze the data.
Results: The study revealed that household people covered 13.04% of the total household area by greener infrastructure which is about 179.07sq.ft per household. In this study it is found that 49.99% of the respondents practice indoor plantation, 62.44% have roof-top gardening where only 17.61% have gardens in their premises. 128 species have been in their household area of which 36 flowerings, 33 fruits 36 vegetables, 12 medicinal additionally 11 are ornamental plant species. It has also revealed in the study that 14% house-hold directly uses the roof where 86% use containers for their rooftop garden. They use compost manure, inorganic fertilizer, and food waste as manure. Where 6% prefer composting, 73% is food waste and 21% use inorganic fertilizer. According to 27% of people, the environmental benefits derived from the household greenery are the main reason for developing their garden where 26% claimed it for recreation, 24% for aesthetic and 13% for the religious benefit and only 10% do it for monetary benefit.
Conclusion: Household people can be an important catalyst for “Urban green infrastructure development.” Hope this study will be an expedient caseworker on the way of planning for sustainable Chittagong city development which will embed the Environment and Urbanism in a frame of ‘Sustainable Urban Development’.

Authors: Akhrif M. , Abilkassem R. , Elyajouri A. , Ennouali H. , Amsiguine N. , Agadr A. 
Published: October 2020

Temtamy syndrome is a congenital syndrome. It was first described by Temtamy et al. in 1991. Characterized by mental retardation, ocular coloboma, seizures, variable craniofacial dysmorphism, and brain abnormalities, including abnormalities of the corpus callosum and thalamus. The extreme clinical and genetic heterogeneity of these phenotypes posed a major diagnostic challenge until the advent of genomic tests that scan a large number of genes with little bias by the clinical phenotype.
Materials and Methods: We reporting the case of a male child aged followed since the age of 3 months for epileptic seizure with corpus callosum agenesis, and clinical examination found craniofacial dysmorphia, mental retardation, strong myopia, an irian coloboma, chorioretinal atrophy. The aim of this study is to highlighting the specific features of temtamy syndrome and show the points of divergence with other similar syndromes.

Aims: This study tested the antimicrobial effect of Arrabidaea chica (Ac) polyphenolic extract in different concentrations incorporated into an aqueous solution or into a primer of an adhesive system used for cavities pre-treatment against Streptococcus mutans (Sm) and Lactobacillus casei (Lc).
Study Design: In vitro experimental study design to evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of different solutions containing Ac against Sm and Lc.
Methodology: Aqueous solution and primer (from a self-etching adhesive system - Clearfil SE Bond/Kuraray) were prepared containing Ac extract in six different concentrations: 0.0% (null); 0.25%; 0.5%; 1.0%; 1.5%; 2.0%; 2.5%. To determine the MIC, tubes with the inoculates of Sm and Lc were added with the solutions described above. Serial dilutions were inoculated in plates with culture medium (n=3). The colony forming unit count (CFU/mL) was carried out after 48 hours. Negative controls (aqueous or primer solutions without Ac incorporation) were used in both tests.
Results: Regression model showed that all Ac concentrations inhibited Sm growth (p>0.05) in aqueous solution. Negligible or no Sm growth was observed in the presence of primer in Ac concentrations above 0.25% (p<0.05). Negligible or no Lc growth was found in aqueous solution for all Ac concentrations, and in the presence of primer in Ac concentrations above 1% (p>0.05). All concentrations of Ac tested here maintained the acidic characteristics of the solutions.
Conclusion: Arrabidaea chica extract into an aqueous solution shows antimicrobial effect against Sm and Lc in all concentrations tested. When incorporated into the primer, the antimicrobial activity is observed in concentrations above 1%.

Authors: Iorjiim Walter Mdekera , Omale Simeon , Bagu Great David , Gyang Steven Samuel , Alemika Emmanuel Taiwo 
Published: October 2020

Aim: The study was designed to investigate antioxidant, survivability, fecundity, and locomotor activity of Moringa oleifera leaf (MOL) extract in Drosophila melanogaster.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at the Africa Centre of Excellence in phytomedicine Research and Development (ACEPRD), University of Jos, Nigeria, in August 2019 - March 2020. In the first place, in vitro analysis of the antioxidant activity of extracts of M. oleifera in various solvents (Aqueous, Methanol-Aqueous co-solvent (80 % v/v) and n-Hexane) were evaluated using DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazyl) assay. Based on the in vitro result, the methanol extract with the best free radical scavenging activity was used in graded doses for conducting the in vivo studies, and the observations were recorded. Distilled water (1000 µL) was used alone in 10 g fly food (as negative control) or as a solvent to dissolve MOL extract or ascorbic acid (positive control) separately before mixing with the fly food. Statistical significance was taken at P<0.05
Results: The methanol extract of M. oleifera leaf (MEMOL) showed significantly (P<0.05) higher free radical scavenging ability (IC50 = 60 µg/ml) compared with the aqueous (IC50 = 100 µg/ml) and n-hexane (IC50 = 250 µg/ml) extracts respectively. The median lethal dose (LD50) of MEMOL was >2000 mg. Supplementation with MEMOL non-significantly (P>0.05) improved movement, significantly (P<0.05) increased survivability, fecundity, and total thiol level. The activities of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT) significantly (P<0.05) increased. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity non-significantly (P>0.05) decreased, while malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration decreased significantly (P<0.05) compared with controls, respectively.
Conclusion: In vitro study suggested better antioxidant activity of MEMOL. In vivo study also revealed that MEMOL was relatively safe in D. melanogaster, supported by high LD50, increased survivability, fecundity, locomotor ability, antioxidant enzyme activities, total thiol level, along with a concomitant decrease in MDA content.

Authors: Chaudhari Aparna S. , Sontakke Alka N. , Trimbake Sangeeta B. 
Published: October 2020

Background: Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) reflects patient’s glycemic status over the previous 3 months. Previous studies have reported that iron deficiency may elevate HbA1c concentrations, independent of glycemia.
Aim: To assess the status of HbA1c in clinically diagnosed cases of type II Diabetes mellitus (DM) with and without iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
Study Design: Case control study in rural hospital of Talegaon Dabhade, Pune.
Methodology: The study includes 36 clinically diagnosed cases of type II DM with IDA and 36 controls which are age & sex matched having type II DM without IDA. Hematological parameters, fasting and post prandial blood glucose& HbA1c level were assessed in all subjects. Serum ferritin levels were assessed only in cases. Comparison between the parameters of cases and controls was done using appropriate statistical analysis.
Results: Levels of HbA1c are increased in cases [clinically diagnosed patients of diabetes mellitus with iron deficiency anemia that is IDA] as compared to controls [clinically diagnosed patients of diabetes mellitus without IDA] irrespective of glycemic status.
Conclusion: This study found a positive correlation between iron deficiency anemia and increased HbA1c levels, Hence IDA is to be taken in consideration while interpreting HbA1c in diagnosis and monitoring of Diabetes mellitus.
