Abstract
This paper provides Pd-Ag solid solution nanoparticles (NPs) which were prepared by the simple solution method and their characteristic hydrogen storage properties. The solid solution between Pd and Ag was achieved on NPs with crystal sizes of 7–9 nm. The isotherms of these alloy NPs showed no typical plateau region and the PCT curve changed in increasing tendency in pressure as H/M increases even in a plateau region. More important findings included the increase of H/M at the very low H2 pressure conditions of 0.001 MPa. H/M was approximately 0.2 in the x range of 0.05–0.09 in Pd1-x
Ag

NPs. Thus, the combination of the nanoparticular state and Ag doping in Pd brought better hydrogen storage and/or H2-related catalytic material which could be used at low H2 partial pressure condition.
How to Think Like a Plant?
Authors: McLaughlin Emily 
Published: September 2020

This chapter uses Ponge’s ‘Le Cycle des saisons’ and Jaccottet’s ‘Les Pivoines’ as two useful models for understanding how late-twentieth-century French poets give voice to plant-life. It explores how Ponge’s delight in the dynamics of language and Jaccottet’s wariness of its distractions have come to define two different approaches to the organic world and, more generally, two different strands of the French poetic tradition: Ponge’s linguistically experimental texts approach plants by cultivating the ‘efflorescence’ of language; Jaccottet’s texts use a rhetoric of hesitation to gesture towards plants’ inherent excess or mystery. Whilst these two approaches to the natural world are now familiar models in late-twentieth-century French poetics, this paper examines how the poems of Eugène Guillevic adopt an altogether more radical, weird, and even productive approach to plant-life. Investigating the speculative nature of Guillevic’s poetics, this chapter explores how he is not content simply to question the subject’s perceptions of and access to physical existence, as Ponge and Jaccottet do, but continually speculates about what life might be like for other forms of existence, in particular, plants. This chapter explores how Guillevic’s poetry makes the presences of the physical world seem more alive to us, more worthy of respect and attention, but also makes us more curious and more daring in how we think about our own sentient and cognitive faculties.
Convulsive Form
Authors: ffrench Patrick 
Published: September 2020

Starting from Giorgio Agamben's proposition, in 'Notes on Gesture', that the 20th-century is beset by a 'crisis of gesture' this chapter explores the convulsive or 'innervated body' in the work of Walter Benjamin and Georges Bataille. Taking a less melancholy approach than Agamben, I ask what can the convulsive body do and what forms can it produce. Both Benjamin and Bataille invest the convulsive body with a power susceptible to provoke affective 'discharge' and thus with a kind of political agency. Their approaches differ, however, over the nature of this politics; while Benjamin accentuates the potential of play and its gesturality, especially in his writing in cinema, Bataille pursues convulsion on the terrain of ritual and sacrifice, particularly in the novel Le Bleu du ciel. For both, however, the dangerous continuity between the convulsion and an authoritarian politics is at stake.
17 October 1961
Authors: Laronde Michel 
Published: September 2020

This entry focuses on the resistance against the erasure of institutional violence from collective memory during the Algerian War in France with the example of the 17 October 1961 massacre of North Africans in Paris. As part of an ongoing effort to correct the state’s misrepresentation of the event to the nation, a plaque was inaugurated by the mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë, on October 17, 2001, to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the event. The image of the plaque that reads ‘In memory of the many Algerians killed during the bloody repression of the peaceful demonstration of 17 October 1961’ resonates also in other cities around Paris as a corrective act of the great national narrative. Plaques and the renaming of streets, squares and public loci as ‘17 October 1961’ are memory initiatives that ensure the transition from state lie to the historical transformation of one of the traumatic situations embedded along the fractured lines between the colonial and the post-colonial. Plaques are akin to sites of memory, part of the process of healing traumas by keeping them alive in the present and represent the engagement of the post-colonial period towards correcting the distortions of silenced history.

A Prospective Study of Concussions and Health Outcomes in High School Football Players
Authors: McGuine Timothy A. , Pfaller Adam , Hetzel Scott , Broglio Steven P. , Hammer Erin 
Published: September 2020

Context
Football is the most popular sport among US high school students and among the highest for sport-related concussion (SRC) incidence. Limited data detail how SRCs affect high school football players' psychosocial and health status beyond short-term injury recovery.

Objective
To longitudinally assess how SRCs affected symptoms, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in high school football players up to 12 months after SRC.

Design
Prospective cohort study.

Setting
Thirty-one Wisconsin high schools.

Patients or Other Participants
A total of 1176 interscholastic football players (age = 16.0 ± 1.2 years).

Main Outcome Measure(s)
Participants completed the Post-concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) from the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 3 (SCAT3), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for depression, and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL) for HRQoL at enrollment. Participants who sustained an SRC repeated each measure within 72 hours of their injury (onset) and at 7 days (D7), return to play (RTP), and 3 months (M3), 6 months (M6), and 12 months (M12) after SRC. Scores at each time point were compared with each participant's baseline using linear mixed models for repeated measures while controlling for age and previous SRC with participant as a random effect.

Results
Sixty-two participants sustained an SRC. Participants reported a higher number of PCSS symptoms, greater symptom severity, and lower PedsQL physical summary scores at onset and D7. From RTP through M12, PCSS symptoms, PCSS severity scores, PedsQL total scores, physical summary, and psychosocial summary were unchanged or improved relative to baseline. The PHQ-9 scores were not higher than baseline at any post-SRC interval.

Conclusions
High school football players in this study who sustained an SRC described no sustained adverse health outcomes (increased PCSS symptoms or symptom severity, increased depression symptoms, or lower HRQoL) after their RTP through M12 after injury.
Financial Re-Engineering and Financial Performance of Saccos
Authors: Esokomi Emily , Otuya Willys 
Published: September 2020

Purpose: The current study sought to establish the trends in financial re-engineering and financial performance of SACCOs and present existing knowledge gaps that need to be filled based on studies done in other contexts.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop literature review method (desk study). This involved an in-depth review of studies related to financial re-engineering and its effects on financial performance of SACCOs. Three sorting stages were implemented on the subject under study that is financial reengineering and financial performance of SACCOs, in order to determine the viability of the subject for research. After an in-depth search into the top key words (financial strategies, financial innovation, financial reengineering and financial performance of SACCOs), the researcher arrived at 15 articles that were suitable for analysis.
Results: The study noted that from the survey, majority of the studies were based and cited most between the year 2012 and 2018, implying the relevance of the subject in the current decade. From the analysis, most of the publications on financial reengineering and financial performance of SACCOs, were from the renowned Journal published under various journal platforms. This is an indication of the credibility of the subject under review by many scholars. In addition, the survey provides evidence as to why the subject under review is of importance in the African context since majority of the studies under review were from the European and Asian regions. A trend analysis was conducted indicating that over the period the studies were researched. Financial reengineering and performance subject have been receiving the concerns by various authors. This was drawn from the upwards increasing trend in the subject of the study since 2012 to 2019. The survey likewise found that descriptive research design was the trending technique to survey studies on financial reengineering and performance. Majority of the studies from the analysis revealed a positive relationship between financial reengineering and financial performance of SACCOs.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Based on the survey findings, the study recommended that financial reengineering effect on financial performance in SACCOs is a maiden study that other authors from other parts can use to base future studies on. Findings from this study may be used to shape policy in the area of managing financial performance in SACCOs. Currently, the existing financial strategies are weak, not standard and not competitive since the competition from other related financial institutions is stiff. The findings would help to further develop an adaptive strategy for to step up in the competition in the financial sector.
EFFECTS OF QUALITY OF BANK PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL BANKS IN MAKUENI COUNTY
Authors: Mutunga Michael Nzuma , Wamitu Susan Njeri 
Published: September 2020

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to determine the effect of enhanced quality of bank products and services on the performance of commercial banks in Makueni County.
Methodology: This study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was all the 219 employees from the commercial bank branches in Makueni County from which 130 study participants were sampled; 65 bank managers and 65 assistant managers. A questionnaire was designed, piloted and used to collect data from the study participants. All necessary ethical issues were considered during and after data collection process. Statistical Package for Social Scientists Version 21 was used in data analysis to generate both descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings: There was a positive relationship between the quality of services and products and performance of commercial banks in Makueni County. The regression results also revealed that quality of products and services had a significant influence on the performance of commercial banks at p = 0.015.
Unique contributions to theory, practice and policy: The quality of bank services and products is a major determinant of the performance of commercial banks in the area of study. The findings were similar to those of another study carried out by Odeny (2016). Since contingency theory argues that there is no single best approach in the management of institutions, the study recommends that continuous research is necessary in commercial banks to establish areas of service and product improvement for their continued high performance.

Intra-annual variability of the Western Mediterranean Oscillation (WeMO) and occurrence of extreme torrential precipitation in Catalonia (NE Iberia)
Authors: Lopez-Bustins Joan Albert , Arbiol-Roca Laia , Martin-Vide Javier , Barrera-Escoda Antoni , Prohom Marc 
Published: September 2020

Abstract. In previous studies the Western Mediterranean Oscillation index (WeMOi) at
daily resolution has proven to constitute an effective tool for analysing
the occurrence of episodes of torrential precipitation over eastern Spain.
The western Mediterranean region is a very sensitive area, since
climate change can enhance these weather extremes. In the present study we
created a catalogue of the extreme torrential episodes (≥200 mm in 24 h) that took place in Catalonia (NE Iberia) during the 1951–2016 study
period (66 years). We computed daily WeMOi values and constructed WeMOi
calendars. Our principal result reveals the occurrence of 50 episodes (0.8 cases per year), mainly concentrated in the autumn. We confirmed a threshold of WeMOi ≤ −2 to define an extreme negative WeMO phase at daily resolution. Most of the 50 episodes (60 %) in the study area occurred on days presenting an extreme negative WeMOi value. Specifically, the most negative WeMOi values are detected in autumn, from 11 to 20 October, coinciding with the highest frequency of extreme torrential events. On comparing the subperiods, we observed a statistically significant decrease in WeMOi values in all months, particularly in late October and in November and December. No changes in the frequency of these extreme torrential episodes were observed between both subperiods. In contrast, a displacement of the extreme torrential episodes is detected from early to late autumn; this can be related to a statistically significant warming of sea temperature.
The Ekman spiral for piecewise-uniform viscosity
Authors: Dritschel David G. , Paldor Nathan , Constantin Adrian 
Published: September 2020

Abstract. We re-visit Ekman's (1905) classic problem of wind-stress-induced
ocean currents to help interpret observed deviations from Ekman's
theory, in particular from the predicted surface current deflection
of 45∘. While previous studies have shown that such
deviations can be explained by a vertical eddy viscosity varying
with depth, as opposed to the constant profile taken by Ekman,
analytical progress has been impeded by the difficulty in solving
Ekman's equation. Herein, we present a solution for
piecewise-constant eddy viscosity which enables a comprehensive
understanding of how the surface deflection angle depends on the
vertical profile of eddy viscosity. For two layers, the
dimensionless problem depends only on the depth of the upper layer
and the ratio of layer viscosities. A single diagram then allows
one to understand the dependence of the deflection angle on these
two parameters.
Transient Megaesophagus Following Coral Snake Envenomation in Three Dogs (2013–2018)
Authors: Heinz Justin Andrew , Mankin Joseph , Pashmakova Medora 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT
A 12 yr old dachshund, a 7 yr old English springer spaniel, and a 1.5 yr old French bulldog presented following envenomation by a coral snake. Each patient displayed evidence of varying degrees of lower motor neuron dysfunction, but all three developed transient megaesophagus. Two patients developed secondary aspiration pneumonia, with one requiring mechanical ventilation, which the owners declined, resulting in euthanasia. The third developed hypoventilation without aspiration pneumonia, was mechanically ventilated, and was successfully weaned. In the two surviving patients, the megaesophagus resolved by time of discharge. Coral snake envenomation is an uncommon occurrence, and these are the first documented cases of transient megaesophagus secondary to a North American species.
Discourses of Race and Masculinity in the Nashville Press
Authors: Marcellus Jane 
Published: September 2020

As the state that provided the final vote ratifying the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, Tennessee is critical. The two newspapers in Nashville, the state capital, differed vehemently on suffrage. Using discourse theory to interrogate suffrage coverage in the decade preceding 1920, this chapter focuses on the intersection of gender and race at the height of the Jim Crow era. Although the prosuffrage Tennessean strongly favored ratification while the antisuffrage Banner opposed it, this chapter argues that a more complicated story emerges when race and masculinity are considered. Despite its prosuffrage stance, the Tennessean included subtle warning signs against Black women’s power when race was integral to a story. The Banner consistently reinforced traditional gender roles, responding to ratification with an eruption of verbal violence aimed at recouping hegemonic white masculinity.
The Facilitators
Authors: Kroeger Brooke 
Published: September 2020

Key to the suffrage movement’s remarkable turnaround in the 1908-1920 period was a swath of new elite supporters: women with high social standing and powerful, influential men who served prominently among the movement’s most active framers, funders, and facilitators. They provided underwriting, funding, and access to government leaders, legislators, and other important influencers. With their own celebrity-like aura, they also brought mainstream media attention to the suffrage movement as popular writers, publicists, editors, and publishers. This chapter uses the insights of social movement theorists who focus on success to assess the concrete actions of these elites and their media influence. In that final, determinative decade, they enlivened both the stalled state-by-state suffrage campaigns and the long-awaited passage and ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.
Aage Henriksen: Gotisk tid
Authors: Michelsen William 
Published: September 2020

Aage Henriksen, Gotisk tid. Fire litterære afhandlinger. 1971Reviewed by William MichelsenThis collection of essays is introduced by a study on Grundtvig’s controversy with Baggesen, 1815- 17, which originally appeared in the journal Kritik (vol. I, nos. 1- 2 ) 1967. To a greater or lesser extent, however, Grundtvig is discussed also in the three other essays, especially in the essay on Martin A. Hansen, which is one of professor Aage Henriksen’s weightiest contributions to Danish literary scholarship. In this essay it is claimed that, like Baggesen and Grundtvig, the author of Orm og tyr had a double conception of the figure of Odin. The one Grundtvig calls ‘Odan the Righteous’ (the poem ‘Afbrudte Strøtanker’ 1816), the other Aage Henriksen calls ‘Odin, Loke’s ally’. The idea occurs already in Baggesen’s early poem ‘Poesiens Oprindelse’. Aage Henriksen disagrees with Ole Wivel’s opinion that in the last part of his works Martin A. Hansen was in favour of the division between religion and social life that, in Denmark, is known as secularisation; on the contrary, ‘from 1940 to 1955 his works, including the essays, are of a religious nature’. He regarded Luther, Kant, and Kierkegaard as stages on a way that he sometimes called ‘secularisation’, sometimes ‘the way of the personality’, and the purpose of which was that of breaking down any ideology. Aage Henriksen holds that Martin A. Hansen’s conception of ‘secularisation’ is different from Wivel’s. In his essay ‘Leviathan’, Martin A. Hansen looked upon Grundtvig as ‘the innovator after the three others . . . he reaches beyond Protestantism, and in him we begin to see the embryo of a new culture’. But Martin A. Hansen could see no more than the faint outlines of this new culture, like Paradise from which he was separated by the Cherub. Aage Henriksen phrases it like this, ‘unlike Grundtvig he was not able to integrate the art of dying into the art of living.’This expression stems from Aage Henriksen’s interpretation of ‘Nyaars- Morgen’, which is incorporated in the Baggesen study. The poem falls into three parts, the first of which is a dream, the second an inspiration with Divine love, and the third a renunciation of the poet’s own life. The main character casts off his slough, and the last sloughing is ‘the art of dying’. He finds instances of this in a number of Danish novels representing the development of personality and—in the Gospel according to St. John, read as if it were a short story. But his point of departure is the mutual understanding he has shown to exist between Grundtvig and Baggesen.
