Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening
Authors: Kramer Jonathan D. 
Published: November 2020

Kramer was one of the most visionary musical thinkers of the second half of the 20th century. In his The Time of Music, he approached the idea of the many different ways that time itself is articulated musically. This book has become influential among composers, theorists, and aestheticians. Now, in his almost completed text written before his untimely death in 2004, he examines the concept of postmodernism in music. Kramer created a series of markers by which we can identify postmodern works. He suggests that the postmodern project actually creates a radically different relationship between the composer and listener. Written with wit, precision, and at times playfully subverting traditional tropes to make a very serious point about this difference, Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening leads us to a strongly grounded intellectual basis for stylistic description and an intuitive sensibility of what postmodernism in music entails.
Postmodern Music, Postmodern Listening is an examination of how musical postmodernism is not just a style or movement, but a fundamental shift in the relationship between composer and listener. The result is a multifaceted and provocative look at a critical turning point in music history, one whose implications we are only just beginning to understand. - See more at: http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/postmodern-music-postmodern-listening-9781501306044/#sthash.vxYmlumU.dpuf
hood
Authors: Kinney Alison 
Published: November 2020

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
We all wear hoods: the Grim Reaper, Red Riding Hood, torturers, executioners and the executed, athletes, laborers, anarchists, rappers, babies in onesies, and anyone who’s ever grabbed a hoodie on a chilly day. Alison Kinney’s Hood explores the material and symbolic vibrancy of this everyday garment and political semaphore, which often protects the powerful at the expense of the powerless—with deadly results. Kinney considers medieval clerics and the Klan, anti-hoodie campaigns and the Hooded Man of Abu Ghraib, the Inquisition and the murder of Trayvon Martin, uncovering both the hooded perpetrators of violence and the hooded victims in their sights.

Sonic Rupture
Authors: Lacey Jordan 
Published: November 2020

Sonic Rupture applies a practitioner-led approach to urban soundscape design, which foregrounds the importance of creative encounters in global cities. This presents an alternative to those urban soundscape design approaches concerned with managing the negative health impacts of noise. Instead, urban noise is considered to be a creative material and cultural expression that can be reshaped with citywide networks of sonic installations.
By applying affect theory the urban is imagined as an unfolding of the Affective Earth, and noise as its homogenous (and homogenizing) voice. It is argued that noise is an expressive material with which sonic practitioners can interface, to increase the creative possibilities of urban life. At the heart of this argument is the question of relationships: how do we augment and diversify those interconnections that weave together the imaginative life and the expressions of the land?
The book details seven sound installations completed by the author as part of a creative practice research process, in which the sonic rupture model was discovered. The sonic rupture model, which aims to diversify human experiences and urban environments, encapsulates five soundscape design approaches and ten practitioner intentions. Multiple works of international practitioners are explored in relation to the discussed approaches.
Sonic Rupture provides the domains of sound art, music, creative practice, urban design, architecture and environmental philosophy with a unique perspective for understanding those affective forces, which shape urban life. The book also provides a range of practical and conceptual tools for urban soundscape design that can be applied by the sonic practitioner.
Against Ambience and Other Essays
Authors: Kim-Cohen Seth 
Published: November 2020

Against Ambience diagnoses - in order to cure – the art world’s recent turn toward ambience. Over the course of three short months – June to September, 2013 – the four most prestigious museums in New York indulged the ambience of sound and light: James Turrell at the Guggenheim, Soundings at MoMA, Robert Irwin at the Whitney, and Janet Cardiff at the Met. In addition, two notable shows at smaller galleries indicate that this is not simply a major-donor movement. Collectively, these shows constitute a proposal about what we wanted from art in 2013.
While we’re in the soft embrace of light, the NSA and Facebook are still collecting our data, the money in our bank accounts is still being used to fund who-knows-what without our knowledge or consent, the government we elected is still imprisoning and targeting people with whom we have no beef. We deserve an art that is the equal of our information age. Not one that parrots the age’s self-assertions or modes of dissemination, but an art that is hyper-aware, vigilant, active, engaged, and informed.
We are now one hundred years clear of Duchamp’s first readymades. So why should we find ourselves so thoroughly in thrall to ambience? Against Ambience argues for an art that acknowledges its own methods and intentions; its own position in the structures of cultural power and persuasion. Rather than the warm glow of light or the soothing wash of sound, Against Ambience proposes an art that cracks the surface of our prevailing patterns of encounter, initiating productive disruptions and deconstructions.
Beyond Unwanted Sound
Authors: Thompson Marie 
Published: November 2020

Noise is so often a ‘stench in the ear’ – an unpleasant disturbance or an unwelcome distraction. But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound.
Beyond Unwanted Sound is about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise music, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon. Beyond Unwanted Sound instead aims to account for a broader spectrum of noise, ranging from the exceptional to the banal; the overwhelming to the inaudible; and the destructive to the generative. What connects these various and variable manifestations of noise is not negativity but affectivity. Building on the Spinozist assertion that to exist is to be affected, Beyond Unwanted Sound asserts that to exist is to be affected by noise.
Refrigerator
Authors: Rees Jonathan 
Published: November 2020

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
It is responsible for a greater improvement in human diet and longevity than any other technology of the last two thousand years-but have you ever thought seriously about your refrigerator? That box humming in the background displays more than you might expect, even who you are and the society in which you live. Jonathan Rees examines the past, p resent, and future of the household refrigerator with the aim of preventing its users from ever taking it for granted again. No mere container for cold Cokes and celery stalks, the refrigerator acts as a mirror-and what it reflects is chilling indeed.

Veil
Authors: Zakaria Rafia 
Published: November 2020

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
The veil can be an instrument of feminist empowerment, and veiled anonymity can confer power to women. Starting from her own marriage ceremony at which she first wore a full veil, Rafia Zakaria examines how veils do more than they get credit for.
Part memoir and part philosophical investigation, Veil questions that what is seen is always good and free, and that what is veiled can only signal servility and subterfuge. From personal encounters with the veil in France (where it is banned) to Iran (where it is compulsory), Zakaria shows how the garment's reputation as a pre-modern relic is fraught and up for grabs. The veil is an object in constant transformation, whose myriad meanings challenge the absolute truths of patriarchy.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Murder Ballads
Authors: Elijah Holley Santi 
Published: November 2020

In a bar called The Bucket of Blood, a man shoots the bartender four times in the head. In the small town of Millhaven, a teenage girl secretly and gleefully murders her neighbors. A serial killer travels from home to home, quoting John Milton's Paradise Lost in his victims' blood.
Murder Ballads, the ninth studio album from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, is a gruesome, blood splattered reimagining of English ballads, American folk and blues music, and classic literature. Most of the stories told on Murder Ballads have been interpreted many times, but never before had they been so graphic or profane. Though earning the band their first Parental Advisory warning label, Murder Ballads, released in 1996, brought Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds their biggest critical and commercial success, thanks in part to the award-winning single “Where the Wild Roses Grow,” an unlikely duet with Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue. Closely examining each of the ten songs on the album, Santi Elijah Holley investigates the stories behind the songs, and the numerous ways these ballads have been interpreted through the years. Murder Ballads is a tour through the evolution of folk music, and a journey into the dark secrets of American history. Santi Elijah Holley is a journalist and essayist in Portland, Oregon, covering music, books, culture, and religion. His work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Guardian, VICE, Tin House, and elsewhere.
Beyond the Republican Revival
Authors: Ghosh Eric 
Published: November 2020

This is the first book-length treatment of both the non-positive and the positive-liberty strands of the republican revival in political and constitutional theory. The republican revival, pursued especially over the last few decades, has presented republicanism as an exciting alternative to the dominant tradition of liberalism.
The book provides a sharply different interpretation of liberty from that found in the republican revival. It argues that this different interpretation is not only historically more faithful to some prominent writers identified with the republican tradition, but is also normatively more attractive. The normative advantages are revealed through discussion of some central concerns relating to democracy and constitutionalism, including the justification for democracy and the interpretation of constitutional rights.
The book also looks beyond republican liberty by drawing on the republican device of sortition (selection by lot). It proposes the use of large juries to decide bill-of-rights matters. This novel proposal indicates how democracy might be reconciled with constitutional review based on a bill of rights. Republicanism is not pitted against liberalism: the favoured values and institutions fit with liberal commitments.
Yugoslavia and Political Assassinations
Authors: Nielsen Christian Axboe 
Published: November 2020

The first book to analyse how and why the Yugoslav State Security Service carried out multiple assassinations (and kidnappings) to ‘protect’ itself. Offering a complete history of the programme, from the inception of the State Security Service to the recent trials of individuals involved, it draws on Christian Axboe Nielsen’s unique wealth of experience and research as an academic and as an expert witness in criminal trials at the International Criminal Court.
The result is a ground-breaking contribution to the history of targeted assassinations, communist history, state security services, international human rights law and war crimes tribunals.
Arthur Jeffress
Authors: Hedley Gill 
Published: November 2020

Arthur Jeffress was an art dealer and collector from a Virginian family who bequeathed his “subversive little collection” (Derek Hill) to Tate and Southampton City Art Gallery on his suicide in 1961. That suicide, a result of his expulsion from Venice, has been the subject of speculation in many memoirs.
Gill Hedley’s biography of Jeffress has benefited from access to many hundreds of unpublished letters written between Jeffress and Robert Melville, who ran Jeffress’ own gallery from 1955-1961. The letters were written largely while Jeffress was in Venice and reveal a vivid picture of the London gallery world as well as frank details of artists, collectors and the definitive story of his suicide.
Previously unpublished research reveals new information about the lives of Jeffress’ lover John Deakin, his business partner Erica Brausen, the French photographer André Ostier and Henry Clifford, and the way in which all of them influenced Jeffress’ first steps as a collector from the 1930s onwards.
The Cloud-Capped Star (Meghe Dhaka Tara)
Authors: Dass Manishita 
Published: November 2020

Ritwik Ghatak’s The Cloud-Capped Star (Meghe Dhaka Tara, 1960) has been hailed as ‘one of the great classics of world cinema’ (Adrian Martin), and ‘one of the five or six greatest melodramas in cinema history’ (Serge Daney). A striking blend of modernist aesthetics and melodramatic force, it is arguably the best-known film by Ghatak, widely considered to be one of the most original, politically committed, and formally innovative film-makers from India. The film’s focus on a family uprooted by the Partition of India and its powerful exploration of displacement and historical trauma gives it a renewed relevance in the midst of a global refugee crisis.
Manishita Dass situates the film in its historical and cultural contexts and within Ghatak’s film-making career, and connects it to his theatrical work and his writings on film and theatre. Her close reading of the film locates its emotional and intellectual power in what she describes as its ‘cinematic theatricality,’ and brings into focus Ghatak’s modernist experiments with melodramatic devices, his deliberate departures from cinematic realism, and distinctive use of sound and music.
The book draws on extensive archival research, excavates new layers of meaning, and offers fresh insights into the cosmopolitan cinematic sensibility of a director described as ‘one of the most neglected major film-makers in the world’ (Jonathan Rosenbaum).
Patient Characteristics Related to Phlebitis in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia Hospital
Authors: Daud Azlina , Mohamad Fatimah 
Published: November 2020

The insertion of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) is common for treatment among hospitalized patients. However, this procedure usually fails before the end of therapy because of several complications, including phlebitis. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the incidence and associated factors of phlebitis among patients with PIVC. A prospective cohort study was conducted in one of the hospitals located in East Coast Malaysia. The presence of phlebitis was assessed using the visual infusion phlebitis score checklist. The patients were followed until PIVC removal. A total of 321 data were collected among patients who received a new PIVC in the medical, gynecology, and orthopedic wards. The incidence of phlebitis was 36.1% (n = 116), and 96.6% of which were grade II. Patients aged 60 years (51.5%), men (42.2%), no known phlebitis history (47.4%), and with chronic disease record (46.8%) were determined as the highest percentage with phlebitis. This study demonstrated that age, gender, and chronic diseases were risk factors of developing phlebitis. Abstrak Karakteristik Pasien yang Berhubungan dengan Flebitis di Rumah Sakit Pantai Timur Semenanjung Malayía.

Munc13 binds and recruits SNAP25 to chaperone SNARE complex assembly

Published: November 2020

Synaptic vesicle fusion is mediated by SNARE proteins—VAMP2 on the vesicle and Syntaxin‐1/SNAP25 on the presynaptic membrane. Chaperones Munc18‐1 and Munc13‐1 cooperatively catalyze SNARE assembly via an intermediate ‘template’ complex containing Syntaxin‐1 and VAMP2. How SNAP25 enters this reaction remains a mystery. Here, we report that Munc13‐1 recruits SNAP25 to initiate the ternary SNARE complex assembly by direct binding, as judged by bulk FRET spectroscopy and single‐molecule optical tweezer studies. Detailed structure–function analyses show that the binding is mediated by the Munc13‐1 MUN domain and is specific for the SNAP25 ‘linker’ region that connects the two SNARE motifs. Consequently, freely diffusing SNAP25 molecules on phospholipid bilayers are concentrated and bound in ~ 1 : 1 stoichiometry by the self‐assembled Munc13‐1 nanoclusters.
LIMEs and LEMONs: Critically Examining the Effect of a Blog Post on Junior Faculty Learners
Authors: Messman Anne M. , Ehrman Robert R. , Gruppen Larry D. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractIntroductionThe usage of asynchronous resources such as blogs and podcasts is pervasive in academic medicine, despite little understanding of their actual effect on learner knowledge acquisition. This study sought to examine the objective effect of a blog post on knowledge acquisition and application among junior faculty in emergency medicine (EM) via randomized controlled study.MethodsAll accredited EM residency programs in the United States and Canada were contacted to identify assistant and associate program directors and medical education fellows for recruitment into this study. Upon enrollment, participants were randomized as to whether they received access to a supplemental blog post prior to listening to a podcast episode. After listening to the podcast episode, all participants completed an assessment that included a test of knowledge application and knowledge acquisition; demographic information was also obtained.ResultsUltimately, 103 participants completed the study; the study closed for enrollment in July 2019. Data were nonnormally distributed and groups were compared using the Wilcoxon rank‐sum test. There were no significant differences between the demographics of the two groups nor was there a significant difference in knowledge between the two groups.ConclusionThe addition of a supplementary blog post did not increase junior faculty knowledge of a podcast episode.
Sex‐specific risk profiles for substance use among college students

Published: November 2020

AbstractIntroductionGrowing evidence indicates sex and gender differences exist in substance use. Framed by a lifecourse perspective, we explored prospectively by sex the effects of distal and proximal factors on the initiation of drug use in college.MethodsCollege students without prior drug use (n = 5,120 females; n = 2,951 males) were followed longitudinally across 4 years. Analyses were estimated as a multigroup survival analysis separately by sex within a latent variable SEM framework with illicit drug use (6 or more times in past year) as the latent factor.ResultsMore males initiated drug use (8.5%) than females (6.4%, χ2 (1) = 10.351, p = .001), but less so for Black males (AOR 0.33, 95% CI [0.18, 0.60]) and females (0.35 [0.23, 0.54]). Students initiating drug use more likely included students smoking cigarettes at baseline (males 1.40 [1.23, 1.59]; females 1.43 [1.24, 1.64]), using alcohol (males 1.04 [1.02, 1.06]; females 1.04 [1.02, 1.06]), or having cannabis using peers (males 1.79 [1.52, 2.11]; females 1.70 [1.49, 1.93]). Impulsivity domain associations differed by sex [negative urgency: females (1.23 [1.02, 1.49) and sensation seeking: males (1.33 [1.01, 1.75])]. History of unwanted/uncomfortable sexual experience predicted drug use for males (1.60 [1.09, 2.35]) and females (1.95 [1.45, 2.62]) but physical assault only for females (1.45 [1.08, 1.94]). Mood symptoms predicted drug use only for males [depression (0.73 [0.56, 0.95]); anxiety (1.40 [1.04, 1.89])].ConclusionsRisk factors for initiating drug use during college differ by sex. As substance use during early age predisposes one for addiction, sex‐ and gender‐informed interventions for young adults are needed.
Microbiological survey of equipment and wheat‐milled fractions of a milling operation
Authors: Sabillón Luis , Stratton Jayne , Rose Devin , Bianchini Andréia 
Published: November 2020

AbstractBackground and objectivesAs wheat is milled into flour, there is a substantial risk of cross‐contamination by microorganisms potentially inhabiting the milling equipment. The objectives of this study were designed (a) to assess the levels of microbial contamination associated with the milling equipment and the wheat as it is processed from grain to packaged flour, and (b) to identify equipment that could serve as a source of contamination during processing.FindingsEquipment used to clean and temper wheat grain was found to harbor substantial populations of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, and molds. Generic E. coli was found in 2 instances on cleaning equipment at an average of 0.4 log CFU/10 cm2. Coliform counts increased markedly in wheat kernels and milled fractions after passing through the different milling steps.ConclusionsThese data demonstrate that microorganisms, including fecal indicators, were common colonizers of milling equipment and that a consistent cross‐contamination risk existed throughout the processing line. Cleaning and sanitation efforts should focus especially on tempering equipment and prompt removal of buildup of grain/flour residues within the milling equipment.Significance and noveltyThis study identified critical control areas and equipment where cross‐contamination is likely to occur during milling. Appropriate sanitary measures should, therefore, be implemented in the mill to minimize the risk of microbial contamination during wheat milling.
