Sirens
Authors: Bull Michael 
Published: January 2020

Sirens are sounds that confront us in daily life, from the sounds of police cars and fire engines to, less often, tornado warnings. During the Blitz in London, sirens warned people to move into the safety of air-raid shelters. Yet, in parallel to this, ‘Sirens’ also have a mythical reality as embodied in the meeting between Odysseus and the Sirens in Greek myth, whereby the specter of the ‘Sirens’ embodied the seductive but ultimately destructive power of sound over the human subject.
Ideologies of sirens embody both the protective and the dangerous elements of siren sounds – from the Cold War public training exercises in the US in the 1950s and 60s to the seductive power of the sirens entrenched in popular culture, from Roxy Music to Tom Odell, to filmic representations of the ‘femme fatale’ in Film Noir and beyond. This book argues that we should understand ‘Siren sounds’ as both myth and materiality, embodying both danger and protection. It poses the question of whether we can rely on the sirens, both in their mythic meanings or in their material meanings in contemporary culture
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art
Authors: Krogh Groth Sanne , Schulze Holger 
Published: January 2020

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art explores and delineates what Sound Art is in the 21st century. Sound artworks today embody the contemporary and transcultural trends towards the post-apocalyptic, a wide sensorial spectrum of sonic imaginaries as well as the decolonization and deinstitutionalization around the making of sound.
Within the areas of musicology, art history, and, later, sound studies, Sound Art has evolved at least since the 1980s into a turbulant field of academic critique and aesthetic analysis. Summoning artists, researchers, curators, and critics, this volume takes note of and reflects the most recent shifts and drifts in Sound Art--rooted in sonic histories and implying future trajectories.
Once Upon a Time Lord
Authors: Phillips Ivan 
Published: January 2020

‘Every story ever told really happened...’ (The Doctor, ‘Hell Bent’, 2015)
Stories are, fundamentally what Doctor Who is all about. In Once Upon a Time Lord, Ivan Phillips explores a wide range of perspectives on these stories and presents a lively and richly-varied analysis of the accumulated tales that constitute this popular modern mythology. Concerned equally with ‘classic’ and ‘new’ Who, Phillips looks at how aspects of the Time Lord’s story have been developed on television and beyond, tracing lines of connection and divergence across various media. He discusses Doctor Who as a mythology that has drawn on its own past in often complex ways, at the same time reworking elements from many other sources, whether literary, cinematic, televisual or historical. Once Upon A Time Lord offers an original take on this singular hero’s journey, reading the unsettled enigma of the Doctor in relation to the characters, narratives and locations that he has encountered across more than half a century.

Dietary fibres are known to provide health benefit and protect against degenerative chronic diseases. Thus, the present study reports the total dietary fibre (TDF) content of sixty-nine selected ethnic and unconventional vegetables and fruits growing in Bangladesh. The samples were collected from different locations of Bangladesh and mixed together to ensure sample representativeness. Dietary fibre assay kit according to the AOAC method was utilized for the analysis of TDF in selected vegetables and fruits. In the ethnic varieties, the TDF content ranged from 1.02 ± 0.16 to 7.16 ± 0.16 g for leafy (LV), 0.18 ± 0.01 to 6.71 ± 0.49 g for non-leafy vegetables (NLV) and 1.21 ± 0.12 to 5.29 ± 0.20 g for fruits per 100 g edible portion (EP). In the unconventional items, it arrayed from 3.08 ± 0.34 g to 7.75 ± 0.13 g for LV and 1.02 ± 0.06 to 8.82 ± 0.40 g for NLV per 100 g EP. Among the analysed samples, the highest and lowest content of TDF was found in Orohordal and Mairabokong, respectively. The unconventional vegetables contained much higher content of TDF than the ethnics and the commonly consumed similar varieties. Data on TDF content in underutilized vegetables and fruits of Bangladesh is sparse. Thus, the finding of this study would fill up the data gap in the existing food composition table of Bangladesh and also would aware the people to take vegetables and fruits rich in fibres.
“The Blow That Comes from Within”: Reading Alcoholic Denial in Fitzgerald's “The Crack-Up” and Other Autobiographies
Authors: Kline Erik 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis article argues that the relative dearth of critical analyses on Fitzgerald's autobiographical essays generally, and the three “The Crack-Up” pieces in particular, results from tensions in understanding alcoholic denial in a genre already fraught with self-invention and self-evasion. It offers a reading that addresses these tensions head-on by examining the way Fitzgerald codes his denial in these “confessional” efforts. By looking at metaphor and elision, the article argues that Fitzgerald's refusal to confront his alcoholism in his nonfiction is not just public performance, as some critics have argued, but reflects instead an addict's denial both internal and external. By using frameworks from addiction studies and autobiography criticism, its reading of Fitzgerald expands to discuss a heuristic of reading addicts' autobiographies in a larger context. The article navigates the two polar readings of addiction, the romantic genius and the moral failure, to understand the complexities of the link between Fitzgerald's writing and Fitzgerald's biography.
Mourning and Melancholia in The Great Gatsby
Authors: Wolfsdorf Adam 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby is both created and destroyed by the passionate disposition that gives rise to his feelings for Daisy Buchanan. By the time the novel begins, Gatsby has not seen Daisy for five years, but the power of his intoxicating infatuation has only grown in scope, despite the fact that Daisy has moved on, found a husband, borne a child, and initiated a life without Gatsby. On one level there is something seductively beautiful about Gatsby's pining devotion, but when studied through the lens of Freud's conception of mourning and melancholia, Gatsby's obsession becomes revealed for what it is: a pathological state of grieving that enslaves him. This article shines a light on this pathology and demonstrates how James Gatz's early childhood depravity sets the stage for Jay Gatsby's inevitable demise.
T. G. M.: Problém filozofie osobnosti, jeho vztahy a souvislosti
Authors: Pospíšil Ivo 
Published: January 2020

The presented contribution analyses – in the context of Jan Zouhar’s research scope and also on the background of the professional interests of the immortalized František Kautman (1927–2016) – the ‘philosophy’ of T. G. Masaryk’s (1850–1937) work. At the beginning, there are new publications on his alleged origin from the family of the Austro-Hungarian monarch, further their fictionalization, the investigation of his late sexual life and, last but not least, the flow of his juvenile correspondence with Zdenka Šemberová (1841–1912). For her, this communication was full of erotic and intellectual hopes which were not fulfilled and led to her lifelong loneliness and resignation, especially after the death of her father Alois Vojtěch Šembera (1807–1882), professor of Vienna Slavonic studies, one of the first opponents of the medieval authenticity of the legendary Czech Manuscripts, all of this on the background of the life of the university and Czech Vienna, where they both lived, and the adjacent Moravia. Masaryk, with his weak knowledge of standard Czech, Šemberová, at that time already a mature lady, record in their correspondence the course of their lives, their opinions, readings, and document their intellectual maturing. Their correspondence represents evidence of the lives of both: Masaryk was gradually becoming a scholar and mainly a politician, and understood their correspondence, from which Zdenka expected also an amorous fulfilment, as a mere practical exercise in stylistics and a confrontation of opinions. Their correspondence throws a new, not always favourable light on the youth of the future Czechoslovak president. Already there, the elementary features of his personality were taking their shapes.
A Practical Approach to Diagnosis of B-Cell Lymphomas With Diffuse Large Cell Morphology
Authors: King Joy F. , Lam John T. 
Published: January 2020

Context.—Large B-cell lymphomas represent the most common non-Hodgkin lymphomas and often present as extranodal masses with advanced stage similar to metastatic tumors. Without proper intraoperative, microscopic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic evaluation they may be mistaken for other hematopoietic or even nonhematopoietic tumors. Also, diffuse large B-cell lymphomas often have clinical, morphologic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic clinical features that are similar to those of other less common B-cell lymphomas. Furthermore, classification of these neoplasms is continually becoming more refined.Objective.—To provide a rational, methodic approach to the evaluation of large B-cell lymphomas for community practice pathologists who provide general pathology services.Data Sources.—This review incorporates guidelines detailed in the 2017 update to the World Health Organization's Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues in addition to other recent peer-reviewed publications.Conclusions.—Many large B-cell neoplasms respond favorably to current treatments, but these cases also require accurate and timely diagnoses. We propose a process following a brief checklist that focuses on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common entity, and rules out other similar lymphomas in a stepwise fashion.
Chinese farmers’ attitude towards the improvement of animal welfare in their facilities

Published: January 2020

AbstractThis study sought to investigate Chinese farmers’ attitude towards animal welfare by using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). According to the TPB, an individual's intention to behave in a certain way is determined by his/her attitude towards the behaviour (specific attitude — importance — and general attitudes), the perceived behavioural control (easiness), and the supposed opinion of the people who are important to him/her (subjective norms). A total of 253 questionnaires were used, which included the three main animal productions in China (swine, poultry and cattle). Chinese farmers have perceived the improvement of animal welfare as two abstracts: general attitudes (reward-seeking, and empathic farmer); and four specific categories of actions (favourable environment, animal health, humane treatment of animals and farmers’ well-being). Our analysis revealed that general and specific attitudes were the strongest predictors of farmers’ intentions to improve animal welfare in the questionnaire study. In fact, Chinese farmers considered it fairly important to improve the animal welfare measures considered in the survey. In contrast, the same animal welfare measures were considered difficult to improve by the farmers as indicated by the lack of association between the easiness of improving animal welfare and the intentions. In addition, veterinarians, agricultural advisers, and scientific experts were considered to be relatively influential subjective norms as regards the activities of the farmers. This is the first study to provide an insight into the underlying meanings and values of Chinese farmers’ views on improvements to animal welfare.

ABSTRACT: The allegory of the body as a prison of the soul was visually depicted as a skeleton that imprisons a figure with childish features. One of the earliest examples of this image is the emblem «Infelix ego homo!» included in Herman Hugo’s Pia Desideria (1624); however the pictura was incorporated in other media and contexts allowing its survival even to the end of the 19th century. In Mexico, it evolved from an ascetic-moralistic book to a popular pamphlet of ghostly apparitions revealed in dreams. How did this emblem –based on Neoplatonic philosophy– evolve from a book written in Latin to a popular nineteenth century pamphlet? Did it conserve part of its original meaning?
KEYWORDS
Death; Soul; Hard Liquor; Mexico.
RESUMEN: La alegoría del cuerpo como cárcel del alma se representó visualmente como un esqueleto que aprisiona a una figura de rasgos infantiles. Uno de los ejemplos más tempranos de esta imagen lo encontramos en el libro de emblemas de Herman Hugo, el afamado Pia Desideria (1624), sin embargo, la pictura se trasladó a otros soportes y contextos lo que le permitió continuar vigente hasta finales del siglo XIX. En el caso mexicano pasó de una publicación de corte ascético-moral a una popular en la cual apariciones fantasmales se manifiestan a través de revelaciones oníricas. ¿Cómo fue que este emblema –con visos neoplatónicos– pasó de un libro en latín a una hoja popular decimonónica? ¿Conservó algo de su significado original?
Asynchronous feedback passification for discrete‐time switched systems under state‐dependent switching with dwell time constraint
Authors: Zhang Siyuan , Nie Hong 
Published: January 2020

SummaryThis article addresses the passivity analysis and asynchronous feedback passification problems for a class of discrete‐time switched systems with dwell time constraint. By exploiting dwell time‐dependent storage functions, a state‐dependent switching strategy obeying a dwell time constraint is constructed, and the solvability conditions for asynchronous feedback passification are developed in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Moreover, the dwell time‐dependent asynchronous passive controllers are formulated simultaneously. It has been shown that the derived results are also applicable to the studies of passivity and synchronous feedback passification for discrete‐time switched systems under the combined switching strategy. Finally, a three‐tank system as a practical example is also provided to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of our theoretic findings.
ICG‐Conjugated and 125I‐Labeled Polymeric Micelles with High Biosafety for Multimodality Imaging‐Guided Photothermal Therapy of Tumors

Published: January 2020

AbstractNoninvasive multimodality imaging‐guided precision photothermal therapy (PTT) is proven to be an effective strategy for tumor theranostics by integrating diagnostics and therapeutics in one nanoplatform. In this study, indocyanine green (ICG)‐conjugated and radionuclide iodine‐125 (125I)‐labeled polymeric micelles (PEG‐PTyr(125I)‐ICG PMs) are strategically prepared by the self‐assembly of the ICG‐decorated amphiphilic diblock polymer poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(l‐tyrosine‐125I)–(indocyanine green) (PEG‐PTyr(125I)‐ICG). The as‐prepared polymeric micelles exhibit favorable biocompatibility, excellent size/photo/radiolabel stability, a high‐photothermal conversion efficiency, a passive tumor‐targeting ability, and a fluorescence (FL)/photoacoustic (PA)/single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging property. After tail intravenous injection, the polymeric micelles can efficiently accumulate at the tumor site and present comprehensive FL/PA/SPECT images with a high sensitivity, excellent spatial resolution, and unlimited tissue penetration under near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, the subsequent precision PTT of tumors can be achieved with minimal cumulative side effects. Thus, this capable multifunctional nanoplatform with simple components and preparation procedures for FL/PA/SPECT multimodality imaging‐guided PTT can be a potential candidate for clinical tumor theranostics.

AbstractDiamond is known to possess a range of extraordinary properties that include exceptional mechanical stability. In this work, it is demonstrated that nanoscale diamond pillars can undergo not only elastic deformation (and brittle fracture), but also a new form of plastic deformation that depends critically on the nanopillar dimensions and crystallographic orientation of the diamond. The plastic deformation can be explained by the emergence of an ordered allotrope of carbon that is termed O8‐carbon. The new phase is predicted by simulations of the deformation dynamics, which show how the sp3 bonds of (001)‐oriented diamond restructure into O8‐carbon in localized regions of deforming diamond nanopillars. The results demonstrate unprecedented mechanical behavior of diamond, and provide important insights into deformation dynamics of nanostructured materials.
A Cast Net Thrown onto an Interface: Wrapping 3D Objects with an Interfacially Jammed Amphiphilic Sheet

Published: January 2020

AbstractWrapping a 3D object with a 2D sheet is not uncommon, but the wrapping behavior becomes complex and interesting when the sheet is bestowed with strong interfacial activities. Amphiphilic lignin macromolecules, isolated from biomass, form a scalable thin surfactant sheet at an oil/water interface through the interfacial jamming process. The process marks three distinct stages of interfacial behavior: a) diffusive assembly, b) viscous assembly with retarded mobility, and c) flexible yet irreversibly jammed rigid sheets. The surfactant sheet wraps, traps, and promptly stabilizes both oil and water droplets in nonequilibrium morphologies upon environmental stimulus. Beyond preserving exotic morphologies, the highly interfacially active surfactant sheet also participates in morphology evolution by creating a vanishing interfacial tension and driving interfacial instability around the wrapped content, leading to novel morphologies as well as many potential applications.

AbstractEnantioenriched fluorinated monoterpenic alkaloid analogues were synthesised, employing a strategy based on the previously undescribed diastereoselective propargylation of fluorinated tert‐butanesulfinyl imines, and subsequent Pauson‐Khand reaction of resulting enyne derivatives, carried out both stoichiometrically and catalytically. The Pauson‐Khand reaction tolerated both substituted alkenes and alkynes, and took place in good yields and diastereoselectivities, even when applied to a gram‐scale synthesis.magnified image

AbstractSalinity is a major abiotic stress limiting crop growth and reducing grain yield. In recent years, little progress was made in salt‐tolerant cultivation techniques. Therefore, a controlled experiment was conducted to study the effects of nitrogen management (NM) on growth, antioxidant ability, and yield performance of salt‐tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.) under salinity stress. Three salinity levels (0‰ as control; 0.75‰, 4.3 dS m−1; and 1.5‰, 7.7 dS m−1) and four levels of NM (tillering fertilizer/panicle initiation fertilizer = 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, and 4:6) were arranged in this study. Under salinity stress, plant height, tiller number, fresh weight, grain yield, panicle, spikelets per panicle, grain weight, and soluble sugar content in stem were significantly decreased. In contrast, antioxidant parameters of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase were significantly increased. Grain filling percentage and sucrose content were slightly changed. Compared to the control, grain yield was reduced by 45.6%, 34.8%, 60.4%, and 46.7% at the ratio of 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, and 4:6 NM at 0.75‰ salinity level, and 73.5%, 59.7%, 74.8%, and 61.7% at 1.5‰ salinity level, respectively. The highest yield was generated by 6:4 NM at both the 0.75‰ and 1.5‰ salinity level, and the lowest by 4:6 and 5:5. However, NM could obviously alleviate the inhibition effects of salinity stress and improve antioxidant ability of rice. Among them, 6:4 NM performed the best alleviation effects, followed by 7:3 and 5:5 NM. This study suggests that the appropriate NM can effectively alleviate salinity stress and increase grain yield.
Understanding the dynamic nature of risk in climate change assessments—A new starting point for discussion

Published: January 2020

AbstractThis article sets out the current conceptualisation and description of risk used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It identifies limitations in capacity to reflect the dynamic nature of risk components, and the need for standardisation and refinement of methods used to quantify evolving risk patterns. Recent studies highlight the changing nature of hazards, exposure and vulnerability, the three components of risk, and demonstrate the need for coordinated guidance on strategies and methods that better reflect the dynamic nature of the components themselves, and their interaction. Here, we discuss limitations of a static risk framework and call for a way forward that will allow for a better understanding and description of risk. Such advancements in conceptualisation are needed to bring closer the understanding and description of risk in theory with how risk is quantified and communicated in practice. To stimulate discussion, this article proposes a formulation of risk that clearly recognises the temporally evolving nature of risk components.
