Deceptive Art, Bad Education, and the Letter to Michetti: Classical Intertexts and Artistic Failure in D’Annunzio’s Il Piacere
Authors: Hicks-Bartlett Alani Rosa 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Gabriele D’Annunzio’s Il Piacere (Pleasure) feints at being a bildungsroman. Even as it incorporates the genre’s defining tropes, it repeatedly undermines them, staging an educational process that is continually frustrated and problematized. Il Piacere can therefore be read as the story of a bad education, as it foregrounds an educational model that is upended before it even starts. More specifically, due to his faulty education, the novel’s protagonist sputters through the stages of his formation, failing to mature or develop appropriately. He founders in a crisis of representation as the fullness of creative, artistic, and amorous satisfaction continues to elude him. The objective of the bildungsroman thus stands as the elusive and problematic ideal to which Il Piacere’s protagonist should strive and remains a constant, tortured concern throughout the novel. D’Annunzio prefigures this impasse in his overlooked dedicatory letter, which recalls and subverts traditional models of formation. The letter uses a Catullan intertext to emphasize and model the importance of instruction and guidance to growth and artistic maturation. By understanding the portrayal of education in the dedicatory letter and the novel, readers learn that the structures that might have upheld the bildungsroman’s implicit promise are in short supply. The same dynamic is reiterated through classical topoi like the stories of Pygmalion and Zeuxis. These artistically grounded intertexts anticipate the major concerns of Il Piacere’s protagonist: how to engage with beauty and art to obtain pleasure, and how to overcome an improper orientation to reach amorous, artistic, and authorial objectives.
“En avant, mes enfants!”: Nations, Populations, and the Avant-Garde Body in James Joyce’s “Oxen of the Sun”
Authors: Rasmussen Irina D. 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn the “Oxen of the Sun” episode of Ulysses, James Joyce dramatizes the evolution of English prose styles by creating a stylistic matrix for gestation. This article links the episode’s stylistic evolution to the historical development of liberal thought about autonomy and self-determination, reading Joyce’s styles as rhetorical gateways to liberal discourses on statehood, politics, socioeconomics, national health, and sexuality. In the immediate historical context of national agitation in Ireland, the episode’s bodily tropes of reproduction, birth, emergence, and break dislocate the rhetoric of national conception, providing a critical insight into the development of liberal thought, particularly into the contradictory blend of progressive and regressive thinking from which liberal notions of autonomy and self-determination have emerged. By demonstrating how the stylistic evolution in “Oxen” moves through a series of breaks, the article relates Joyce’s disruptive tactics to the aesthetic practices of the historical avant-gardes, showing how the affinities with the avant-garde in “Oxen” work on the level of form, content, and imagined life praxis. The main argument at stake is understanding how Joyce creates a literary position of being in advance by way of engaging critically with biopolitics and the liberal discourses on national and social advancement.
Halos and Egos: Rankings and Interspecialty Deference in Multispecialty U.S. Hospitals
Authors: Kim Jerry W. 
Published: November 2019

This paper examines how media rankings shift patterns of collaboration and deference between professional groups within organizations. Diversified and multidisciplinary organizations such as universities and hospitals often face distinct subunit evaluations that can influence coordination on interdependent tasks. Using patient-level treatment data for more than five million in-patient stays, I find that changes in the “best hospitals” rankings do not meaningfully shift treatment patterns by physicians in hospitals. However, when specialties were ranked in the top echelons (i.e., top 10) or had high categorical prestige, they were less likely to involve other specialties (i.e., ego effect) and had a higher chance of performing procedures on patients admitted in other specialties (i.e., halo effect). These effects were mostly confined to minor (i.e., less invasive) procedures, implying that the impact of external rankings on patient outcomes is relatively benign.This paper was accepted by Olav Sorenson, organizations.
The Concept of the 'New Soviet Man' As a Eugenic Project: Eugenics in Soviet Russia after World War II
Authors: Bardziński Filip 
Published: November 2019

This article penetrates the idealistic, Marxist concept of the 'new Soviet man', linking it with the notion of eugenics. Departing from a reconstruction of the history and specificity of the eugenic movement in Russia since the late 19th century until the installation of Joseph Stalin as the only ruler of the Soviet Union, Lysenkoism paradigm of Soviet natural sciences is being evoked as a theoretical frame for Soviet-specific eugenic programme. Through referring to a number of chosen – both theoretical (classic Marxist works) and practical (chosen aspects of Soviet science and internal politics) – issues and cases, the concept of the 'new Soviet man' is being confronted with an original reading of eugenics, understood in neo-Lamarckian terms of direct shaping human beings through environmental conditions (comprehending the GULag system of labour camps, pseudo-medical experiments and other) and intergenerational transfer (through inheritance) of acquired traits.

Published: November 2019

The present study aimed to elucidate the epidemiological profile of tuberculosis patients in Natal-RN between the years 2010 and 2018. This was an epidemiological, retrospective and documentary study, in which the recovery of the secondary data occurred from the “Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS)” in Brazil. The following variables were studied: year of notification, gender, age, schooling, area of residence, ethnicity and factors that facilitate the onset of tuberculosis. Statistical association was performed using the Chi-Square test. In the year 2011, the highest percentage of notifications for tuberculosis was received (12.4%) in Natal-RN. The profile of the affected individuals was predominantly male (69.5%), between 20 and 39 years of age (43.8%), low educational levels (41.3%), mulattoes (68.2%) and urban residents (94.1%). When gender was associated with factors that facilitate the onset of tuberculosis, it was observed that males presented higher percentages of positivity for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (16.3%), Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (15.8%), alcoholism (34%) and smoking (13.5%), while in females the highest rates of this correlation were with Diabetes mellitus (10.4%). In addition, a statistically significant association was found between gender with tobacco and alcohol consumption (<0.001) and with the presence of diabetes and Aids (<0.001). The data found in this study may serve as an auxiliary for developing more specific public policies for those most susceptible to tuberculosis in Natal-RN.

Abstract
Optical frequency comb (OFC) sources, for their highly desirable properties, they have revolutionized a wide range of applications specifically orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system. OFC sources based on femtosecond erbium fiber laser has emerged as the most commonly used in many applications owing to their advantages of low cost, robustness, compactness, high performance, and flexibility. Here, 300 fs soliton mode-locked pulses were achieved using erbium fiber oscillator based on an efficient Graphene saturable absorber and an external all-fiber pulse compressor consisted of erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and 200 m long single-mode fiber (SMF). The proposed system works with a central wavelength of 1557 nm at the desirable communication band. The output power of the system and its corresponding pulse energy were 9.29 mW and 1.858 nJ, respectively, at a maximum pump power of 92.6 mW. The designed system is entirely fiber based, with no free-space optics and uses only standard telecommunication equipment. The results of this experiment demonstrate that the simple design of mode-locked fiber oscillator with an external compressor can provide a compact, portable, robust, reliable and high-performance femtoseconds frequency comb.

An Inter-Linguistic Analysis on Multimodal Coupling of German and Chinese Tourism Video Commercials – A comparative Study based on ELAN
Authors: LI Jie 
Published: November 2019

AbstractWith the development and renovation of digital information technology, images, sounds, animations, colors and other models are integrated into one system to convey information. Multimodality is also applied in language research. One example of multimodal discourse are tourism video commercials, which combine written, visual and auditory signals to construct the metaphorical meaning of advertisements. Therefore, this paper selects six pieces of German and Chinese tourism video commercials as objects, which are parsed, transcribed and annotated by ELAN 5.1. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches are adopted to analyze the selected corpus. The theoretical framework for this study is Systemic-Functional Grammar and Visual Grammar, and it aims to explore the similarities and differences in the fusion of multimodal features between German and Chinese tourism video advertisements by comparative analysis.
Erfolgsfaktor Diversity Management?
Authors: Scherle Nicolai , Rosenbaum Philipp 
Published: November 2019

ZusammenfassungDiversität respektive Diversity Management entwickelt sich angesichts bestimmter sozio-kultureller und ökonomischer Metaprozesse – insbesondere demographischer Wandel, Globalisierung sowie Individualisierung und Pluralisierung der Lebensstile – zu einem immer wichtigeren strategischen Erfolgsfaktor für Unternehmen. Nichtsdestotrotz steckt die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der entsprechenden Thematik im Tourismus- und Hospitalitysektor nach wie vor in den Anfängen. Im Rahmen einer qualitativ ausgerichteten Fallstudie anhand eines weltweit führenden Aviation-Konzerns – der Lufthansa Group – setzt sich der vorliegende Beitrag im Spannungsfeld von Tourismuswissenschaft und Diversitätsforschung mit den Konzepten Diversität und Diversity Management auseinander. In diesem Kontext lässt sich die explorative Studie in erster Linie von der Forschungsfrage leiten, wie eine zentrale stakeholder-Gruppe – Flugbegleiter – die auf dem Prinzip „Wertschöpfung durch Wertschätzung“ basierende Diversity-Strategie des Aviation-Konzerns wahrnimmt. Die mittels problemzentrierter Interviews generierten empirischen Ergebnisse erschließen einerseits vor dem Hintergrund divergierender konzeptioneller Verständnisansätze von Diversity Management das nach wie vor unterschätzte Potential dieses Managementkonzepts, andererseits sensibilisieren sie für potentielle Herausforderungen und Konflikte, die sich im Kontext personaler Heterogenität ergeben können.

Published: November 2019

Zusammenfassung
Die CSR-Forschung hat unterschiedliche Arten von Motiven für die Übernahme sozialer Verantwortung in den Unternehmen herausgearbeitet. Allerdings wurde dabei bisher kaum Aufmerksamkeit auf das CSR in klein- und mittelständischen touristischen Unternehmen gelegt. Der vorliegende Beitrag beleuchtet die Art der Motivation deutscher Reiseveranstalter für die Implementierung von CSR. Er bietet empirische Bestätigung dafür, dass die moralischen Motive für die klein- und mittelständischen Reiseveranstalter eine wichtigere Rolle spielen als die Orientierung an möglichen Gewinnen, wie es der Business Case von CSR impliziert
Resilientes Reisen als neues Paradigma?
Authors: Pechlaner Harald , Zacher Daniel 
Published: November 2019

Zusammenfassung
Die zunehmend größer werdende Reiseerfahrung bringt sowohl für die touristischen Destinationen als auch für die Reisenden selbst neue Herausforderungen mit sich. Aktuelle Debatten um den so genannten Overtourism brechen einer neuen Tourismuskritik Bahn, die unter geänderten Vorzeichen zu betrachteten ist. Reisende werden im vorliegenden Beitrag als resilient Reisende charakterisiert; ihre Bedürfnisse, Wünsche und potenziellen Reaktionen auf aktuelle Entwicklungen werden diskutiert.
Der Resilienzansatz liefert in seiner multidisziplinären Verankerung aus mehreren Perspektiven einen Blick auf den Gast von Morgen. Einiges deutet darauf hin, dass Destinationen und Destinations-Managements den aktuellen gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen künftig in stärkerem Maße Rechnung zu tragen haben, wollen sie die resilient Reisenden erfolgreich adressieren.
Noch ist nicht klar, was dem Gast dazu motiviert, eine touristische Reise anzutreten. Der Mehrwert des Reisens wird von resilient Reisenden neu definiert. Wenn sich die Destinationen den Wünschen und Vorstellungen dieser Zielgruppen öffnen und die Gelegenheit wahrnehmen, im Rahmen geeigneter Beteiligungsformate eine aktive Partizipation an der Gestaltung des regionalen Destinationsraums hervorzurufen, stehen die Chancen gut, auch die resilient Reisenden künftig zu ihren Gästen zählen zu können.
Für die resilient Reisenden rückt das Reisen als gesellschaftliches Phänomen in den Vordergrund – eine tiefergreifende Reflexion findet statt. Vor diesem Hintergrund entscheiden resilient Reisende, welche die Identifikationsorte sind, die einen Mehrwert des Reisens begründen und wann, auf welche Weise und ob sie überhaupt im klassischen Sinne eine Reise antreten.
Determination of Critical Conditions for Dynamic Recrystallization of Commercially Pure Titanium
Authors: Sonkar Suresh , Pancholi V. , Murty S. V. S. N. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Microstructural evolution and mechanical properties are controlled by dynamic recrystallization (DRX) during industrial processing. To identify the critical condition for initiation of DRX, hot isothermal compression tests of commercially pure (CP)-70 titanium were conducted in a temperature range of 750°C–1,100°C and strain rate range of 0.001–10 s−1 to a true strain of 0.69. The critical condition for initiation of DRX can be identified from the inflection point on the strain-hardening rate (θ=∂σ/∂ε) versus flow stress (σ) curve. A third-order polynomial equation was fitted to the experimental θ−σ data to find out the inflection point. The results show that the critical stress (σc) for the initiation of DRX can be expressed as σc=−B/3A, where A and B are the coefficients of the third-order polynomial equation. It was observed that critical stress value depends on the deformation condition. The stress-strain curve was then normalized with respect to the peak stress (U=σ/σp vs.W=ε/εp), leading to a normalized value of critical stress, (Uc)=σc/σp=−B′/3A′, where A′ and B′ are the coefficients of the normalized third-order equation. The value of Uc(≈0.95) is a constant and independent of deformation conditions. These parameters were then used to calculate the DRX fraction, and the relationship between DRX fraction and processing variables was established.
Hot Deformation Behavior of AA2024 with and without In Situ Titanium Diboride Dispersoids

Published: November 2019

Abstract
AA2024 is known for its good combination of mechanical properties and is widely used in aircraft fuselage and other aerospace applications. However, because of its relatively lower yield strength, it has limited application in high-stress regions. In alloy AA2024, when titanium diboride particulates are embedded uniformly, it is expected to improve the strength of alloy by working as particulate dispersed composite. However, deformation of such metal matrix composite (MMC) is likely to be difficult and different from the base alloy. In this work, the deformation behavior of AA2024 alloy and its composite with titanium diboride particles developed in situ through salt-metal reaction have been studied. Hot deformation behavior was studied through hot isothermal compression tests over a temperature range of 300°C–450°C and strain rate from 0.01–10 s−1. The results show that there is an increase in flow stress with an increase in strain rate and a decrease in flow stress with an increase in temperature. Processing maps were generated based on the dynamic material model to identify the stable and unstable regions for hot working. The strain rate sensitivity of the composite has been compared to base alloy AA2024. Deformation parameters were calculated from the stress-strain data, and constitutive equations have been generated. Softening in alloy and in MMC is found to be caused by dynamic recrystallization. Microstructural modifications that are caused by titanium diboride reinforcement and its impact during hot deformation are reported. The safe zones for the hot working of both base alloy and MMC were found to be in the range of 380°C to 450°C in a strain rate of 0.001–10 s−1.
A Cloud-Based Machine Vision Approach for Utilization Prediction of Manual Machine Tools

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Since the last decades of the 20th century, the manufacturing industry has been moving toward the development of fully automated equipment; however, a large number of machine tools are still manual and require the operators to stay close by while operating. This allows solutions to be developed that measure machine utilization by tracking and correlating the location of personnel and manual machines. The knowledge of machine utilization and the prediction of machine availability can be extremely advantageous in efficiently scheduling the work that needs to be done with the machines. The lack of this knowledge, on the other hand, can cause long wait times and inefficiencies. In this article, we have proposed and studied a cost affordable cloud-based machine vision approach to capture and predict the utilization of manual machine tools. A case study was performed in Georgia Tech’s ME2110 lab, where approximately 400 students design and develop their projects every semester. Because this lab is open to all of these students with no predefined schedules, the statistical analysis on the historical equipment utilization could be one of the only methods of predicting machine availability. By analyzing the data of a security camera mounted in this lab, the location of students was tracked and correlated with the location of the machine tools to find out the utilization time of the machines. The autoregressive–moving-average (ARMA) method was then used to predict the machine utilization for days after. The evaluation results of this framework show that the error between the actual and predicted utilization was less than 20 %. Although the accuracy of this framework with the data collected in 27 days is high and can be used to increase the efficiency of the lab, the accuracy is expected to increase by capturing more data in a longer time period.
Whole Genome Analysis of a Single Scottish Deerhound Dog Family Provides Independent Corroboration That a SGK3 Coding Variant Leads to Hairlessness

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The breeds of domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, display a range of coat types with variation in color, texture, length, curl, and growth pattern. One trait of interest is that of partial or full hairlessness, which is found in a small number of breeds. While the standard for some breeds, such as the Xoloitzcuintli, requires sparse hair on their extremities, others are entirely bald, including the American Hairless Terrier. We identified a small, rare family of Scottish Deerhounds in which coated parents produced a mixed litter of coated and hairless offspring. To identify the underlying variant, we performed whole genome sequencing of the dam and five offspring, comparing single nucleotide polymorphisms and small insertions/deletions against an established catalog of 91 million canine variants. Of 325 homozygous alternative alleles found in both hairless dogs, 56 displayed the expected pattern of segregation and only a single, high impact variant within a coding region was observed: a single base pair insertion in exon two of SGK3 leading to a potential frameshift, thus verifying recently published findings. In addition, we observed that gene expression levels between coated and hairless dogs are similar, suggesting a mechanism other than non-sense mediated decay is responsible for the phenotype.
Cyclic (noncyclic) phi-condensing operator and its application to a system of differential equations
Authors: Moosa Gabeleh Moosa , Moshokoa Philemon , Vetro Calogero 
Published: November 2019

We establish a best proximity pair theorem for noncyclic φ-condensing operators in strictly convex Banach spaces by using a measure of noncompactness. We also obtain a counterpart result for cyclic φ-condensing operators in Banach spaces to guarantee the existence of best proximity points, and so, an extension of Darbo’s fixed point theorem will be concluded. As an application of our results, we study the existence of a global optimal solution for a system of ordinary differential equations.
