Cultural diplomacy in the acquisition of the head of the Satala Aphrodite for the British Museum
Authors: Patrizio Gunning Lucia 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The current location and curatorial display at the British Museum of a Hellenistic bronze head of the goddess Anahita in the guise of Aphrodite, found at Satala (Asia Minor), reveal little of the importance ascribed to it at the time of its acquisition, or of the complex route by which the head came to form part of the museum’s collection. Detailed examination of archival documentation relating to this acquisition shows how, despite nineteenth-century Ottoman and Italian legislation in relation to antiquities, this head and its accompanying bronze hand were found in the province of Armenia, sold by an Ottoman diplomat to a private collector in Rome and used to secure the sale of a collection of jewellery to the British Museum. The journey of the head illustrates the importance of diplomatic channels, the workings of the nineteenth-century European trade in art and antiquities and how museums, diplomats and collectors were able to assemble collections.
Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration: Assessing the Link between Passive and Active Representation for Foreign-Born Clients
Authors: Capers K Jurée , Smith Candis W 
Published: April 2021

AbstractRepresentative bureaucracy scholars contend that clients are likely to experience greater benefits and more positive policy outcomes from public agencies when bureaucrats share salient demographic characteristics. Despite the large body of evidence that shows a link between passive and active representation, much of the extant representative bureaucracy literature rests on an assumption of group homogeneity. However, racial groups have a great deal of heterogeneity among them, particularly due to immigration patterns. One-fifth of Black Americans have ties to some other country, thus allowing us to leverage heterogeneity among this group to examine who most effectively represents foreign-born clients. Differences between Black native-born bureaucrats and Black foreign-born clients in experiences, socialization processes, and interests may hinder the linkage between passive and active representation for Black immigrants. However, a shared connection to immigration among foreign-born Black clients and Latinx and Asian bureaucrats may facilitate a passive to active representation linkage for Black immigrants. Using fixed effects, comparative relational analytic models, we analyze New York City public school data from the 2005–2006 to 2015–2016 school terms to find that racial representative bureaucracy crosses ethnic lines. Both foreign-born and native-born Black students experience performance gains when taught by a Black teacher. Our research holds implications for understanding the complexities of representation for pan-ethnic groups and emphasizes the challenges that heterogeneity poses for the theory of representative bureaucracy.
Nutrient uptake and gas exchange of Great Basin plants provide insight into drought adaptations and coexistence

Published: April 2021

AbstractAimsAlthough increases in precipitation variability in arid ecosystems are projected due to climate change, the response of desert shrub communities to precipitation change has not been fully elucidated. Such knowledge is important since drought-adapted plants exhibit varied mechanisms of survival that may contribute to species coexistence.MethodsWe tested the responses of eight drought-adapted plants, a mix of graminoids, shrubs and forbs to three summer precipitation scenarios (1.3, 2.6 and 3.9 cm per month) in a common garden experiment in the Great Basin (Owens Valley, California). Changes in mineral nutrient uptake (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, boron, zinc, iron and sodium) and gas exchange parameters (photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance) were investigated in the studied species.Important FindingsTwo graminoids (Sporobolus airoides and Leymus triticoides) and one salt tolerant shrub species (Atriplex confertifolia) responded to increased water availability with increases in photosynthetic rate and/or stomatal conductance. There was a significant correlation between water availability and uptake of nutrients for five out of eight species. Artemisia tridentata, with higher rates of photosynthesis, contained greater amounts of potassium, copper and boron, while Juncus arcticus, with higher rates of photosynthesis, contained greater amounts of magnesium and iron, and less sodium. Juncus arcticus and three salt-adapted species (A. confertifolia, Distichlis spicata and S. airoides) exhibited correlations with stomatal conductance and concentrations of nutrients. Results indicate that differential physiological response mechanisms to increased moisture and associated nutrient uptake strategies in drought-adapted species may mediate coexistence under increased summer precipitation.
Sinus Bradycardia in a Pediatric Patient Treated With Remdesivir for Acute Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature
Authors: Chow Eric J , Maust Branden , Kazmier Katherine M , Stokes Caleb 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Remdesivir is an RNA polymerase inhibitor that is commonly used in the treatment of patients with severe acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). As the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spreads, the use of remdesivir is likely to increase. Most of the patients treated with remdesivir will not experience any adverse events although some side effects have been reported. Here, we describe a case of sinus bradycardia associated with remdesivir therapy in a pediatric patient with severe acute COVID-19.
The Disappointing, Parenthetical Providence of God in Daniel Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year
Authors: Seidel Kevin 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Daniel Defoe’s fictional narrators talk often about God’s providence but not usually to appeal to an overarching social or natural order, to solve problems of theodicy, or to claim special divine attention. In the Bible scene near the beginning of Defoe’s novel Journal of the Plague Year (1722), a passage of scripture opened to by chance convinces the narrator, H.F., to stay in London and protect his business during the plague. This scene primes Defoe’s readers to recognise later in the novel divine providence acting not through so much as with creaturely agents, human and nonhuman.
Confined massive circumstellar shell in type IIL SN 2008fq
Authors: Chugai N N 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
I explore a phenomenon of the circumstellar H α and H β absorption lines in the spectrum of the luminous type IIL SN 2008fq taken on day 6.8 after the discovery. The absorption is identified with the radiatively accelerated pre-shock wind up to ∼800 km s−1. The required initial luminosity is attributed to earlier circumstellar interaction with the confined dense shell of ∼0.08 M⊙. Modelling of a similar luminous type IIL SN 1998S based on the same approach results in a comparable shell mass of ∼0.1 M⊙. The larger mass of more than 1 dex for the confined dense shells of both SNe IIL compared to that of type IIP supernovae is attributed to the larger progenitor mass of type IIL supernovae.
Which planets trigger longer lived vortices: low-mass or high-mass?
Authors: Hammer Michael , Lin Min-Kai , Kratter Kaitlin M , Pinilla Paola 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Recent ALMA observations have found many protoplanetary discs with rings that can be explained by gap-opening planets less massive than Jupiter. Meanwhile, recent studies have suggested that protoplanetary discs should have low levels of turbulence. Past computational work on low-viscosity discs has hinted that these two developments might not be self-consistent because even low-mass planets can be accompanied by vortices instead of conventional double rings. We investigate this potential discrepancy by conducting hydrodynamic simulations of growing planetary cores in discs with various aspect ratios (H/r = 0.04, 0.06, 0.08) and viscosities (1.5 × 10−5 ≲ α ≲ 3 × 10−4), having these cores accrete their gas mass directly from the disc. With α &lt; 10−4, we find that sub-Saturn-mass planets in discs with H/r ≤ 0.06 are more likely to be accompanied by dust asymmetries compared to Jupiter-mass planets because they can trigger several generations of vortices in succession. We also find that vortices with H/r = 0.08 survive &gt;6000 planet orbits regardless of the planet mass or disc mass because they are less affected by the planet’s spiral waves. We connect our results to observations and find that the outward migration of vortices with H/r ≥ 0.08 may be able to explain the cavity in Oph IRS 48 or the two clumps in MWC 758. Lastly, we show that the lack of observed asymmetries in the disc population in Taurus is unexpected given the long asymmetry lifetimes in our low-viscosity simulations (α ∼ 2 × 10−5), a discrepancy we suggest is due to these discs having higher viscosities.
Binary pathways to SLSNe-I: SN 2017gci
Authors: Stevance H F , Eldridge J J 
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT
Some hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) exhibit bumps in the tails of their light curves associated with hydrogen features in their late time spectra. Here we use the explosion parameters of one such SLSN – SN 2017gci – to search the stellar models of the Binary Population And Spectral Synthesis (BPASS) code for potential progenitors. We find good matches for a 30 M⊙ progenitor star in a binary system and no matches from single-star models. Common envelope and mass transfer after the giant branch, combined with increased mass loss from strong stellar winds immediately before death, allow the progenitor to lose its hydrogen envelope decades before the explosion. This results in a hydrogen poor SLSN and allows for delayed interaction of the ejecta with the lost stellar material.
Kinetic Analysis Suggests Evolution of Ribosome Specificity in Modern Elongation Factor-Tus from “Generalist” Ancestors

Published: April 2021

Abstract
It has been hypothesized that early enzymes are more promiscuous than their extant orthologs. Whether or not this hypothesis applies to the translation machinery, the oldest molecular machine of life, is not known. Efficient protein synthesis relies on a cascade of specific interactions between the ribosome and the translation factors. Here, using elongation factor-Tu (EF-Tu) as a model system, we have explored the evolution of ribosome specificity in translation factors. Employing presteady state fast kinetics using quench flow, we have quantitatively characterized the specificity of two sequence-reconstructed 1.3- to 3.3-Gy-old ancestral EF-Tus toward two unrelated bacterial ribosomes, mesophilic Escherichia coli and thermophilic Thermus thermophilus. Although the modern EF-Tus show clear preference for their respective ribosomes, the ancestral EF-Tus show similar specificity for diverse ribosomes. In addition, despite increase in the catalytic activity with temperature, the ribosome specificity of the thermophilic EF-Tus remains virtually unchanged. Our kinetic analysis thus suggests that EF-Tu proteins likely evolved from the catalytically promiscuous, “generalist” ancestors. Furthermore, compatibility of diverse ribosomes with the modern and ancestral EF-Tus suggests that the ribosomal core probably evolved before the diversification of the EF-Tus. This study thus provides important insights regarding the evolution of modern translation machinery.
Estimation of peptide elongation times from ribosome profiling spectra
Authors: Pavlov Michael Y , Ullman Gustaf , Ignatova Zoya , Ehrenberg Måns 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Ribosome profiling spectra bear rich information on translation control and dynamics. Yet, due to technical biases in library generation, extracting quantitative measures of discrete translation events has remained elusive. Using maximum likelihood statistics and data set from Escherichia coli we develop a robust method for neutralizing technical biases (e.g. base specific RNase preferences in ribosome-protected mRNA fragments (RPF) generation), which allows for correct estimation of translation times at single codon resolution. Furthermore, we validated the method with available datasets from E. coli treated with antibiotic to inhibit isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, and two datasets from Saccharomyces cerevisiae treated with two RNases with distinct cleavage signatures. We demonstrate that our approach accounts for RNase cleavage preferences and provides bias-corrected translation times estimates. Our approach provides a solution to the long-standing problem of extracting reliable information about peptide elongation times from highly noisy and technically biased ribosome profiling spectra.
Rising wealth inequality: when r − g matters
Authors: Khieu Hoang 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
We investigate the effects of the gap between the rate of return on wealth and the growth rate, r − g, on wealth inequality using a model of inherited wealth and productivity inheritance featuring heterogeneity in labor income and in the death rate. The heterogeneity in the death rate implies different health types, which imply type dependence and scale dependence. Labor income heterogeneity implies a U-shaped effect of r − g on wealth inequality. Long-run wealth inequality increases in r − g if the distribution of the death rate features good-health types and if r − g is sufficiently larger than a positive threshold, which is increasing the dispersion of labor income. The share of good-health types and the r − g’s threshold in the Survey of Consumer Finances are 31.8% and 4.5%, respectively.
Using Audit and Feedback to Improve Antimicrobial Prescribing in Emergency Departments: A Multicenter Quasi-Experimental Study in the Veterans Health Administration
Authors: Livorsi Daniel J , Nair Rajeshwari , Dysangco Andrew , Aylward Andrea , Alexander Bruce , Smith Matthew W , Kouba Sammantha , Perencevich Eli N 
Published: April 2021

Abstract

Background
In this pilot trial, we evaluated whether audit-and-feedback was a feasible strategy to improve antimicrobial prescribing in emergency departments (EDs).

Methods
We evaluated an audit-and-feedback intervention using a quasi-experimental interrupted time-series design at 2 intervention and 2 matched-control EDs; there was a 12-month baseline, 1-month implementation, and 11-month intervention period. At intervention sites, clinicians received (1) a single, one-on-one education about antimicrobial prescribing for common infections and (2) individualized feedback on total and condition-specific (uncomplicated acute respiratory infection [ARI]) antimicrobial use with peer-to-peer comparisons at baseline and every quarter. The primary outcome was the total antimicrobial-prescribing rate for all visits and was assessed using generalized linear models. In an exploratory analysis, we measured antimicrobial use for uncomplicated ARI visits and manually reviewed charts to assess guideline-concordant management for 6 common infections.

Results
In the baseline and intervention periods, intervention sites had 28 016 and 23 164 visits compared to 33 077 and 28 835 at control sites. We enrolled 27 of 31 (87.1%) eligible clinicians; they acknowledged receipt of 33.3% of feedback e-mails. Intervention sites compared with control sites had no absolute reduction in their total antimicrobial rate (incidence rate ratio = 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.98–1.01). At intervention sites, antimicrobial use for uncomplicated ARIs decreased (68.6% to 42.4%; P &lt; .01) and guideline-concordant management improved (52.1% to 72.5%; P &lt; .01); these improvements were not seen at control sites.

Conclusions
At intervention sites, total antimicrobial use did not decrease, but an exploratory analysis showed reduced antimicrobial prescribing for viral ARIs. Future studies should identify additional targets for condition-specific feedback while exploring ways to make electronic feedback more acceptable.
Relational Wrongs and Agency in Tort Theory
Authors: Sage Nick 
Published: April 2021

Abstract—
Some of those theorists who believe tort law consists of relational wrongs also believe, under the influence of Kant’s legal philosophy, that tort law is concerned for the agency of the two parties to a wrongful interaction. I argue that these theorists should discard their agency framework. It distorts our view of tort doctrine and does not really fit the law’s relational structure. We can reach a better understanding just by pursuing the idea that torts are relational wrongs. I try to diagnose and suggest cures for the intellectual tendencies that lead Kantian theorists away from this approach.
Human Resource Management in the Latin European Context
Authors: Trullen Jordi , Obeso Carlos 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the current human resource management (HRM) landscape in Latin Europe. Latin European countries are commonly associated with lower levels of active population, weaker systems of social protection, higher rates of self-employment, and a dualistic labor market. On the basis of data collected in the last round of the Cranet Survey on Comparative Human Resource Management (2014/15), we investigate the extent to which we can also talk of an idiosyncratic Latin European model in terms of HRM. Similar to previous analyses, we can observe significant variance in terms of HRM among Latin European countries. At the same time, however, there seem to be some distinguishable traits. According to companies surveyed, the HRM department has a low degree of influence on strategic decision-making, and investment in training and development of employees is lower than in other European countries. The Latin model also reveals a greater level of labor unrest vis-à-vis continental Europe, which gives unions a prominent role in decision-making (with special emphasis on pay) and results in the primary objective of the HRM department being labor relations. Finally, there is less involvement by line management in the management of employees, partly as a result of their own lack of training.
Institutional Approaches to Examining the Influence of Context on Human Resource Management
Authors: Allen Matthew M. C. , Wood Geoffrey 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This chapter reviews three related, but distinctive, institutional approaches to human resource management (HRM) policies within organizations. The approaches view institutions, organizations, and their HRM policies as conceptually separate, but ontologically connected. In other words, they view context and HRM as intertwined, meaning that institutions play a key role in constituting what firms are and what HRM is in different contexts. The chapter reviews work on HRM within (1) the “varieties” approaches of the varieties of capitalism and business systems frameworks, (2) historical institutionalism, and (3) the regulationist framework. The chapter highlights the similarities among, as well as the differences between, these frameworks. In contrast to some other research perspectives, these institutional approaches add value to HRM analyses by explaining key variation among the nature of firms and how that variation influences important outcomes, such as HRM policies and practices, employees’ skill development, job tenure patterns, and social inequality. They also provide frameworks to address (1) how and why HRM changes and (2) how national and international institutions influence the types of HRM that firms adopt and their ability to achieve different objectives in contrasting locations. Individually and collectively, they demonstrate the importance of context on the nature of organizations, what HRM is, and the links between HRM and organizational outcomes.
Contemporary Repetitions
Authors: LaVigne Michelle 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This chapter argues for a new reading of The Nutcracker as a repeating feature in contemporary ballet culture. Although the history of The Nutcracker has been told again and again, an investigation of its reappearances year after year has not. This chapter opens that dialogue by considering the ongoing circulation of The Nutcracker in order to present an argument that its repetitions matter as a rhetorical and contemporary phenomenon. The chapter examines works by Maurice Béjart, Matthew Bourne, Mark Morris, and Christopher Wheeldon to investigate the rhetoric in The Nutcracker’s reworkings. This way of reading The Nutcracker suggests that the rhetorical potential of contemporary culture grows from the remaking and reperformance of familiar forms.
Alexei Ratmansky’s Abstract-Narrative Ballet
Authors: Searcy Anne 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Alexei Ratmansky’s works challenge the way that Western critics and choreographers split ballet into abstract and narrative categories. This chapter explains how Western ballet arrived at the division between abstract and narrative. This developed out of the ideology of absolute music, the understanding that music could not have any meaning other than a purely formal one. During the Cold War, American choreographers such as George Balanchine took up the belief in absolute music in order to push against Soviet models of ballet. The Cold War also encouraged Western ballet experts to conflate abstraction with progress. Within this context, the chapter analyzes Ratmansky’s Russian Seasons (2006), which can appear as both abstract and narrative to its audiences. Ratmansky’s career thus challenges many long-held assumptions in the West about forward progress in ballet.
Fusion and Renewal in the Works of Jiří Kylián
Authors: Vaghi Katja 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Trapped between the labels of innovator and traditionalist, the Netherlands-based Czech choreographer Jiří Kylián has often been overlooked by scholars, in favor of contemporaneous choreographers whose works are more clearly postmodern. Still, in the way a water droplet ultimately carves the stone, Kylián’s movement language, a blend of ballet and modern dance, and his atmospheres rich in signification have slowly influenced Dutch and international dance, redefining what we anticipate from a resident ensemble and coming to epitomize the direction contemporary ballet has taken today. This chapter considers how Kylián’s later works embody these tendencies, specifically through their references to the baroque, discussing these neo-baroque references under the light of intertextuality and intermediality. The chapter also implicitly unpacks what it means to reference in dance.
Ballet Gone Wrong
Authors: Stanger Arabella 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This chapter explores the work of Scottish choreographer Michael Clark: his vexed relationship with British ballet and the mythologization of his work as ballet “gone wrong.” Problematizing this wrongness, the chapter makes three claims about Clark’s practice as a queer dissident classicism. First, a discursive construction of his work as perverted ballet is traced in the conservative, homophobic 1980s and 1990s British dance press and viewed through a Foucauldian historicization of “abnormality” as a normative technology for the fabrication of social-sexual deviance. Second, Clark’s “corruption” of classical form is positioned as a practice that expertly excavates ballet’s already mutated life in certain pedagogies of classical twistedness. Finally, Clark’s dissident classicism is understood to be couched in forms of cultural agility and risk-taking underwritten by whiteness and founded in his consecration by those very institutions from which his work is reputed to deviate.
