“I Put a Spell on You”: Affiliating (Mis)Identifications and Toxic Masculinity in David Lynch’s Lost Highway
Authors: Miley Mike 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
The Lost Highway soundtrack’s kitchen-sink assemblage of mid-1990s alternative acts such as Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins and glam giants like David Bowie and Lou Reed seems like a brazen attempt to open additional revenue streams for David Lynch’s uncommercial twenty-first-century noir nightmare. However, closer attention to how these songs are used in the film, particularly three cover songs, reveals a more intricate strategy. This article explores how scholarship regarding cover songs echoes and extends scholarship on postmodern identity in Lost Highway and on the compilation soundtrack itself. Each cover appears at a crucial moment in the narrative, and each exemplifies what Michael Rings calls a “generic reset,” a transformative recording that shifts genre and style to create a new song complete with the ability to alter the meaning of the song and, in the case of Lost Highway, the film as well. Lost Highway’s covers twist Kassabian’s concept of affiliating identifications, ensnaring the audience in a web of affiliating misidentifications, a sonic déjà vu in which the comfort of recognition collapses into disorientation, not pleasure. Such a move in a film about doppelgängers and alter egos borne out of a white male sexual panic cannot be mere coincidence. By subverting audience identification with the soundtrack, Lost Highway broadens noir conventions musically and opens new lanes to understanding the compilation soundtrack as a vehicle for subverting and resisting control and pleasure, chansons fatales whose identities are as fluid and beyond the audience’s control as the femme fatale is from the male noir protagonist.
Operatic Works in Silent Cinema: Toward a Translational Theory of Film Adaptations
Authors: Finocchiaro Francesco 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Between the 1910s and 1920s, countless film adaptations of operas arose out of the medial competition between cinema and opera. Film adaptations aspired to lend artistic and cultural dignity to the new medium of cinema and, at the same time, actualized operatic subjects, adapting them to the cinema’s sense of naturalism and immediacy. The processes of adaptation carried out by filmmakers could take on a variety of characteristics, as a result not only of the varying practical needs of a particular adaptation but also of different aesthetic paradigms of cinema, that is, the different ways of conceiving its semiotic modes of discourse and the hierarchical configuration of the artistic languages embedded in it. This article compares the adaptational strategies in four films—Cecil B. DeMille’s Carmen (1915), Albert Capellani’s La vie de Bohème (1916), Jacques Feyder’s Carmen (1926), and Richard Strauss and Robert Wiene’s Rosenkavalier (1926)—that represent just as many different modes of engagement with their operatic originals. These instances are interpreted as different solutions to the very same aesthetic problem: how to translate operatic dramaturgy into a cinematic means of expression.

Authors: Mustafina Lilia Rashidovna , Slavina Liliya Rustamovna 
Published: October 2020

The modern system of national education, developing in the competence paradigm, puts on the agenda the need to form students' communicative skills that belong to the category of critical competencies of a meta-subject nature. The article discusses the methodological features and pedagogical conditions for forming meta-subject skills of schoolchildren in foreign language lessons. An attempt is proposed to determine the characteristics of the meta-subject approach, including a complex of personality traits that allow the student to act in a given communication situation at the level determined by the age-related psychological characteristics and the possibilities of the social experience of a younger student. The authors used the following research methods: utilizing the study and generalization of pedagogical experience and the survey method, the communicative, regulatory - behavioral and motivational characteristics of a younger student, which must be taken into account when introducing pedagogical technologies focused on meta-subject results in foreign language lessons, are concretized, The analysis of the real practice of an educational activity is aimed at establishing a set of features of the pedagogical support of the meta subject approach within the framework of the "Foreign language" discipline in primary school. Based on the analysis of scientific literature on research and practical experience, several strategies have been identified that ensure the effective implementation of meta-subject results in younger students in foreign language lessons.
The Impact of International Capital Flows on Central and Eastern European Countries’ Investments, Savings, Consumption, and Current Accounts
Authors: Vilutiene Laura , Dumciuviene Daiva 
Published: October 2020

Capital flows have been analysed from various perspectives and yet no consensus has been reached about the impact of international capital flows on national economies. The main aim of this paper is to present the theoretical aspects of the effect of international capital flows on national economies, and to analyse the impact of international capital flows on Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries’ domestic savings, investments, consumption, and current accounts. During the investigation, the latest studies on international capital flows were reviewed and systemised, 11 CEE countries’ main indicators from across a 10-years period were collected, and computed coefficients, which represent the change associated with a variation in clusters’ capital inflows, equal to 1 percent change of GDP, were analysed. The analyses conducted show that capital flows have an impact on countries’ economies. The main findings are: first, domestic savings and consumption are seen to have been more strongly associated with capital inflows than investments in developed countries. Second, the relationship between investments, domestic savings, consumption and one inflow in portfolio flows would be negative, in both highly developed countries and emerging market countries. Third, where positive inflows in net and gross capital are concerned, foreign direct investments would have an insignificant positive impact on current accounts in highly developed countries and developed countries but a negative impact in emerging market countries. By achieving economic growth dynamics within a specific country, a wide evaluation of a country’s capital flows can be performed, and control of capital flows gained, by applying different assessment models.
SOGI 1 2 3 et son lecteur idéal : une analyse du discours social
Authors: Hakeem Hasheem 
Published: October 2020

Dans le cadre de cet article, nous proposons une analyse du discours social autour de SOGI 1 2 3 (« Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity »), un programme élaboré en 2016 par le Ministère de l’Éducation de la Colombie-Britannique afin de promouvoir la valorisation, le respect et l’inclusion de la diversité sexuelle et de genre au sein des écoles publiques et privées. Cependant, bien que le ministère de l’Éducation ait développé SOGI 1 2 3 dans le but de protéger les droits et libertés des personnes LGBTQ2+ et de contrer l’homophobie et la transphobie, une analyse de son discours révèle plutôt qu’il vise d’abord et avant tout un destinataire hétéronormé et binaire. En nous appuyant sur la notion de communautés interprétatives développée par Stanley Fish, nous montrons que le ministère de l’Éducation tend à ménager les susceptibilités de ce lecteur idéal. Ce faisant, il ne s’attaque pas de front à l’homophobie et à la transphobie, ce qui constitue une contradiction entre son discours, qui se veut ouvert, et les lois canadiennes destinées à protéger les personnes LGBTQ2+.
Rossel Vien, énigmatique précurseur de la Révolution tranquille
Authors: Hébert Raymond-M. 
Published: October 2020

Dans cet article, je mets en lumière le côté avant-gardiste de Rossel Vien, Métis (comme il se serait défini fièrement), mais officiellement Montagnais. Son esprit frondeur avait commencé avec son Histoire de Roberval et cet aspect rebelle de sa personnalité se poursuivit tout au long de sa vie, que ce soit dans ses nouvelles dans les Écrits du Canada français ou dans ses textes journalistiques. Je m’attache à montrer que notre jeune nouvelliste, en dépit de son écriture parfois déroutante, faisait partie des sommités littéraires québécoises des années 60 et 70, au même titre que des écrivains aussi connus que Jacques Ferron ou Gabrielle Roy. J’aborde la question du choix de l’anonymat par Rossel – Gilles Delaunière est son premier pseudonyme – et explique les raisons qui l’ont poussé dans cette voie qui a eu comme conséquence fâcheuse qu’il ne fut jamais un auteur reconnu de son vivant sous son nom réel, bien que sa véritable identité ait été sue dans les milieux prestigieux de l’édition montréalaise. La fuite faisait ainsi partie de l’existence même de Rossel Vien. Exilé en quelque sorte de manière permanente au Manitoba où il a passé une grande partie de sa vie adulte, c’est à Saint-Boniface qu’ont éclos les oeuvres de la maturité, sous un nouveau pseudonyme, Gilles Valais. J’analyse la réception partagée de ces textes ancrés dans une écriture post-moderne, mais qui s’inspirent grandement des expériences personnelles de Rossel Vien. Aussi est-ce par les liens inépuisables entre sa vie et son oeuvre que je termine.
Modes d’inclusion des étudiants internationaux francophones et incomplétude institutionnelle : le cas de l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick
Authors: Sall Leyla 
Published: October 2020

Cet article a pour objet l’évaluation de la capacité de l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick à assurer l’intégration économique des étudiantes et étudiants internationaux francophones, considérés comme les meilleurs immigrants potentiels dans cette francophonie minoritaire qui revendique « sa part » d’immigrants d’expression française. Ces derniers bénéficient d’une transition facilitée vers la résidence permanente. Toutefois, ils sont confrontés à une incomplétude institutionnelle de leur communauté d’accueil en matière d’immigration, laquelle aurait des dimensions linguistique, géographique et plus généralement sociétale. Cela se traduit par des difficultés d’intégration économique et sociale de cette catégorie d’immigrants et par la difficile émergence d’un sentiment d’appartenance à l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick. Notons toutefois que ces étudiants internationaux trouvent des possibilités d’emploi dans une niche d’emplois structurelle souvent délaissée par les résidents locaux et dans une niche d’emplois conjoncturelle qui a émergé grâce à une politique volontariste de valorisation de la diversité ainsi qu’à une mise à l’essai réussie des premiers employés internationaux.

A field experiment was carried out to evaluate different rates of vermicompost, and inorganic NPS(Nitrogen-Phosphate Fertilizer With Sulphur) fertilizers for wheat production in 2015-2017 main cropping seasons at L/machew district of the Tigray Regional State. There were five systematically combined rates of vermicompost and one rate of NPS treatments during the study. The experimental design was randomized complete block with three replications. Surface soil samples were collected before planting to analyze selected soil properties. The textural class of the soil was clay. The pH of the soil was rated under moderately acidic. Available P was rated under medium in most of the experimental sites while total N was low in all experimental sites. The treatments significantly affected crop phenology, yield and yield components of wheat. Thus tallest plant height was found from treatments that received 100kg/ha NPS, followed by 8.75t/ha vermicompost which resulted in (73.25cm) while the shortest plant (62.73cm) was obtained from control plots, respectively. Highest mean wheat grain yield (2642.8kg/ha) was obtained in response to 100kg NPS from inorganic fertilizer application followed by the second highest dose of vermicompost (7t/ha) with grain yield of 2620 kg/ha. At the wheat plants grown in plot received vermicompost compost at 7t/ha of vermicompost increased the grain yield by 67.78% over the control. Though highest grain yield was obtained from highest dose of vermicompost the partial budget analysis shows that the highest marginal rate of return (456) was obtained from 3.5t/ha VC ha-1 plus 100kg/ha urea at the study area.
Anemia and Other Blood Symptoms Related Soil Transmitted Helminthiasis: An Internet Approach of Systematic Literature Study Reported Across Indonesia
Authors: Siagian Forman Erwin , Maryanti Esy 
Published: October 2020

Background/Aim: Soil Transmitted Helminthiasis (STH) is still a global major problem, affecting billion vulnerable people of marginalized and unfortunate communities from low to middle level social economic countries. Poor personal hygiene and sanitary practice facilitates its transmission. Children and pregnant women are the most vulnerable group. It causes spectrum of clinical conditions from completely asymptomatic to severe, but anemia and nutritional derangement are the most prominent. Anemia related STH itself was already a huge problem, especially when affected susceptible individuals. In the internet, the data on Indonesia’s prevalence of anemia and other blood symptom related STH with its contributing factors are always considered sparse and incomplete. The aim of this systematic literature study was to provide that data by doing the internet literature searching on Indonesia’s electronic data regarding this condition.
Methods: A systematic review was done using popular search engine in the internet. All kind of research study, no matter the design (cross sectional, case control or prospective cohort), that fit with inclusion criteria which is anemia or other blood related symptoms (e.g. eosinophilia) related to STH were included.
Result: There were 37 studies found on this issues, from 2001 until 2020. Most studies reported anemia that developed during the course of the disease with the clinical spectrum varies from asymptomatic to severe form.

AbstractThe high‐performance unidirectional manipulation of microdroplets is crucial for many vital applications including water collection and bioanalysis. Among several actuation methods (e.g., electric, magnetic, light, and thermal actuation), mechanical vibration is pollution‐free and biocompatible. However, it suffers from limited droplet movement mode, small volume range (VMax/VMin < 3), and low transport velocity (≤11.5 mm s−1) because the droplet motion is a sliding state caused by the vertical vibration on the asymmetric hydrophobic microstructures. Here, an alternative strategy is proposed—horizontal vibration for multimode (rolling, bouncing/reverse bouncing, converging/diffusing, climbing, 90o turning, and sequential transport), large‐volume‐range (VMax/VMin ≈ 100), and high‐speed (≈22.86 mm s−1) unidirectional microdroplet manipulation, which is ascribed to the rolling state on superhydrophobic slant microwall arrays (SMWAs) fabricated by the one‐step femtosecond laser oblique ablation. The unidirectional transport mechanism relies on the variance of viscous resistance induced by the difference of contact area between the microdroplet and the slant microwalls. Furthermore, a circular, curved, and “L”‐shaped SMWA is designed and fabricated for droplet motion with particular paths. Finally, sequential transport of large‐volume‐range droplets and chemical mixing microreaction of water‐based droplets are demonstrated on the SMWA, which demonstrates the great potential in the field of microdroplet manipulation.

Published: October 2020

AbstractConventional approaches for generating Airy beams rely upon bulky and costly systems, which impede the miniaturization of optical systems. Metasurfaces have provided a compact method to generate Airy optical beams, but the current schemes suffer from the issues of narrow bandwidths and/or low transmission efficiencies. Here, a design strategy of constructing broadband and high‐efficiency transmissive Airy optical beam generator by taking advantages of the high birefringence and transmission efficiency of dielectric metasurfaces is proposed. The local amplitude and phase of transmitted light can be simultaneously modulated to satisfy the Airy function by controlling the orientation angles of silicon nano‐pillars, regardless of the incidence wavelength. The resultant Airy beam generator is experimentally verified within an ultra‐wide operation bandwidth from 1.1 to 1.7 µm. The remarkable diffraction‐free, self‐accelerating, and self‐healing properties of Airy beams are also demonstrated. The results may power up viable opportunities for practical devices and applications of metasurface‐based Airy beams.
Photo‐Responsive Fluorescent Materials with Aggregation‐Induced Emission Characteristics
Authors: Luo Weihua , Wang Guojie 
Published: October 2020

AbstractStimuli‐responsive fluorescent materials with aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) characteristics have attracted increasing attention owing to their advantages of bright fluorescence in the solid state and the ability to tune the structures and physicochemical performances in response to various stimuli. Among all the available external stimuli, light stands out, and has rapidly become a focus of research, because it offers green and remote triggering, noninvasive manipulation, high spatiotemporal resolution, and convenient tunable properties. Consequently, photo‐responsive AIE materials provide a fascinating strategy for constructing functional fluorescent materials. This review summarizes the recent advances in the fabrication of photo‐responsive fluorescent materials with AIE characteristics by grafting AIE fluorogens (AIEgens) into photochromic molecules. State‐of‐the‐art photo‐responsive AIE materials based on the inherent photochemical reactions of AIEgens are highlighted, and are classified and discussed according to the photochemical pathways, including photocyclization, photo‐isomerization, photodimerization, photo‐removal, and multiple photoreactions. Following this, the corresponding applications of photo‐responsive AIE materials in bio‐imaging, anti‐counterfeiting, photo‐patterning, photo‐release of chemicals or drugs, and photo‐controlled assembly and disassembly are introduced. Finally, the most promising directions for development and applications of photo‐responsive AIE materials are outlined and discussed.

Published: October 2020

AbstractA light‐emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) is an innovative device with a simple structure wherein a mixture of a luminophore and an electrolyte is sandwiched between electrodes. Here, LECs are presented which contain an active layer composed of green‐emitting InP/ZnSeS quantum dots (QDs) blended with polyvinyl carbozole p‐type polymer semiconductors and 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquid (IL). The blending of QDs with polymer semiconductors increases the density of holes reaching the QDs; this, in turn, leads to luminescence from QDs, which is unachievable without the presence of polyvinyl carbazole semiconductor. Moreover, the deposition of a zinc oxide nanoparticle layer onto the QD–polymer–IL active layer increases the density of electrons reaching the QDs. The composition of these materials is varied systematically for balancing the injection rates of electron versus hole into the QDs. A luminance of ≈632 cd m−2 and an efficiency of >1.3 cd A−1 are achieved.

Published: October 2020

AbstractA high‐efficiency separation of oil and water can be achieved by using specially designed amphiphilic porous membrane. However, the preparation of such membranes often involves complex multistep chemical processes. Herein, we report an amphiphilic composite membrane (polystyrene [PS]/bacterial cellulose [BC] membrane) consisting of hydrophobic recycled PS and hydrophilic BC, fabricated by a facile in situ fermentation process. Not only these membranes exhibit a combination of contrasting wettability but also comprise of a hierarchical network of microfibers and nanofibers, which makes them ideal for oil–water separation. The structural and morphological properties of as‐produced BC, recycled PS membrane, and PS/BC composite membrane were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The ability of the membranes to separate oil and water was tested by using an emulsion of hexane‐in‐water as the feed and the collected filtrates were characterized by optical microscopy and UV–Vis spectroscopy. PS membranes were unable to separate oil and water, while the PS/BC membrane efficiently separated water from the emulsion. PS/BC composite membranes showed a high water recovery of more than 90%, against only 57% recovery shown by BC. Mechanisms of oil–water separation for each membrane are discussed. The reusability of the PS/BC composite membrane was also demonstrated.
