‘Ever seen horse-eyes up close?’: Entropoetics in _9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9’s The Interface Series
Authors: Riddell Cameron 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Reddit provides an experimental environment for authors to post their stories progressively; in the case of user _9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9, this progressive storytelling is both cohesive and fragmented, being posted sequentially over the space of two months, and being posted across a wide range of subreddits to gather the attention of a large audience. Those who followed the posts back to the user directory discovered a narrative framework emerging from the ostensibly unrelated autonomous posts, a framework centred around the horrifying Mother with Horse Eyes. This article argues that the fragmented/completeness of the narrative becomes both the form and the function of the text, allowing us to theorize a poetics of entropy. Beyond all other concerns, The Interface Series explores the philosophical problem of entropy, with philosophical, hermeneutic and literary repercussions.

‘Doing fifty-five in a fifty-four’: Hip hop, cop voice and the cadence of white supremacy in the United States
Authors: Stoever Jennifer Lynn 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This article examines how police officers in the United States use a racialized and gendered way of speaking called ‘cop voice’ to provoke fear and extreme forms of compliance from people of colour. Through autoethnographic analysis coupled with sonic attention to how Jay-Z (‘99 Problems’), Public Enemy (‘Get the Fuck Out of Dodge’) and Prince Paul (‘The Men in Blue’) represent ‘cop voice’ through shifts in their rapping flow or by using white guest rappers, ‘Doing 55 in a 54’ argues that police weaponize their voices. Identifying and listening closely to these examples of cop voice reveal how people who are raced as ‘white’ in the United States mobilize this subject position in their voices through particular cadences that audibly signify racial authority, while at the same time, never hearing themselves as doing so.
Your voice is hair: Speculations toward a metaphor for styling vocal identity
Authors: Bonenfant Yvon 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This article explores the styling of vocal identity through blending together descriptions, assertions, and theorizations that result from an artistic, or arts-practice-led, research process. It asserts that hair-styling can be used as an interesting and potent metaphor for inviting audiences to more consciously experience the styling act of shaping their vocal emanations. With reference to the installation Curious Replicas, which invites audiences in to play with vocal soundings by opening up possibilities for voice-change, the author suggests that with each utterance, each of us emits a temporally travelling cloud of auditory, tactile and visual data that he calls a multisensory vocal identity projection (MVIP), a concept which he builds from assertions in Kreiman’s and Sidtis’ (2011) extended study of studies. The installation tries to give public audiences agency over how their MVIPs are generated and then celebrated as aestheticized products, while troubling aspects of how these projections function, and conjoining them to an experience of intersensory inundation, that includes sound, touch and vision. The writing makes a range of claims that link voice production, interactive art use, and corporeal self-styling, and touches on models for understanding user behaviour derived from fashion studies. The article is more concerned with the concepts it troubles, than with drawing clear conclusions, and as such, situates itself within what artistic discourse does best: it speculates.
The signification of the signed voice
Authors: MacIntyre Alexis Deighton 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Embodiment is central to voice studies, but describing vocality as a material figure requires that the embodied voice be defined, implicitly and/or in stark terms. Consequently, apparently self-evident loci of the voice emerge as the throat, mouth, tongue, and ear, yet these physical sites reveal a narrow view of voicing. In particular, Deafness and sign language hold a tenuous position at the fringe of voice studies, to be evaded or invoked only as a special case. Examining voice as it is conceived of by Deaf people and academics, hearing culture, and voice studies, as well as cognitive neuroscience, I argue that the forces excluding Deaf voice and language rely on truisms from western metaphysics. Rooted in the mind-body divide, these assumptions regard gesture and movement as primitive or beast-like. In discourse surrounding the voice, they are manifest in terminology that privileges tone, timbre, pitch, and high-frequency material vibration. This embodied turn is driven by latent beliefs surrounding sound and its associated anatomy, resulting therefore in the omission not only of sign language, but of gesture and other nonverbal vocal actions. Intrinsically linked with the body, rhythm encounters a similar fate. In critique of sound quality and the division of senses, I draw together Deaf insights with neurobiological investigations of multimodality, action perception, and rhythm cognition, and submit that temporal and action-based frameworks offer an alternative means by which to source the vocal body, one that fluidly accommodates hearing voices, Deaf voices, and the movements they share in common.
Fan artefacts and doing it themselves: The home-made graphics of punk devotees
Authors: Bestley Russ , Burgess Paul 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Punk’s embrace of autonomous, do-it-yourself artistic production has been widely documented as a key element of the punk ‘explosion’. At times, however, the rhetoric has exceeded the actual practice and the boundary between DIY authorship and professional production has become blurred. Although much early punk visual material was indeed raw, rough and ready, and often appeared to run counter to any kind of formal aesthetic criteria in respect to design or taste, it was also widely the product of trained graphic designers and illustrators with a keen awareness of the appropriate visual language required to reflect a new, self-styled, anarchic and polemical subculture. Even many of the celebrated ‘do-it-yourself’ punk pioneers relied on access to professional services for reproduction, including printers, prepress art workers and specialist record sleeve manufacturers. However, much like the punks who chose to make their own outfits, rather than buy ‘official’ clothing from the burgeoning punk boutique (and mail order) market, some fans and enthusiasts attempted to create their own punk graphics or decided to adopt a naïve model of détournement to adapt or personalize jackets, shirts, school bags, scrapbooks and even record sleeves within their own collections. These home-made artefacts can be viewed as products of subcultural participation and belonging, as an individual’s response to punk’s call to arms and as markers of possession. They may also help us to better understand an underlying, distilled and unmediated interpretation of punk’s ‘natural’ visual language.

ELECTRE ME: a proposal of an outranking modeling in situations with several evaluators
Authors: Costa Helder Gomes , Nepomuceno Livia Dias De Oliveira , Pereira Valdecy 
Published: December 2018

Highlights: This paper describes an original proposal for modeling Multicriteria problems taking into account more than one evaluator. It allows each evaluator to have its own set of criteria. It also avoids the incoherency of adopting compensatory techniques into non-compensatory algorithms.
Goal: This paper describes an original proposal for modeling multicriteria situations where multiple evaluators take part of the evaluation process. This proposal allows each evaluator to have its own set of criteria, including their weights, and also avoids the usual inconsistency of adopting pre-processing compensatory methods for introducing it into non-compensatory algorithms.
Design / Methodology / Approach: In order to better describe how ELECTRE ME works, a multicriteria-multiple evaluator situation is modeled by ELECTRE TRI ME (as we have called the ELECTRE TRI variation that incorporates the principles of multiple evaluators).
Results: ELECTRE ME was able to avoid the inconsistency of adopting contradictory mechanisms of aggregating preferences while modeling multicriteria & multiple evaluators problems (first called here as MCDA-ME).
Limitations: Although the proposal focuses in situations with multiple evaluators, there is no restriction for its application in situations where there is only one decision maker.
Practical implications: Another important feature of ELECTRE ME is that it allows each evaluator to consider its own set of criteria and its own scale for evaluation.
Originality / Value: ELECTRE ME avoids a contradictory approach to use compensatory algorithms (such as weighted mean) as an input in non-compensatory outranking methods. Despite the fact that non-compensatory principle is in the heart of the ELECTRE methods, it has not found a previous proposal with the attributes shown in this study: to incorporate outranking concepts in situations where more than one evaluator is present and, by extension, allow each evaluator to have its own set of criteria.
“Del dicho al hecho hay un gran trecho”: Obstáculos para la expansión de la escolaridad media en Uruguay.
Authors: Mancebo María Ester , Pérez Zorrilla Julia 
Published: December 2018

El presente artículo analiza los obstáculos que han tenido los gobiernos del Frente Amplio para construir políticas que permitieran concretar la letra de la Ley General de Educación de 2008 en cuanto a la consagración del derecho a la educación y el cumplimiento con la obligatoriedad escolar de la educación media. Para ello, se realizó un análisis cualitativo de documentos (normas e informes institucionales) y de 49 entrevistas semi-estructuradas realizadas a autoridades educativas, mandos medios, legisladores, sindicalistas, responsables de programas de inclusión educativa y especialistas realizadas entre los años 2011 y 2015. De este modo, se identificaron tres fuentes de bloqueo en el proceso de la política educativa del nivel medio: la fragmentación institucional del sistema educativo; el desacuerdo ideológico entre las autoridades gubernamentales y dentro del partido de gobierno; y el veto ejercido por el actor sindical de secundaria. La interacción de estos factores permite comprender el estancamiento de la política educativa de secundaria en el período 2005-2017.
Investigation of association between CD40 current gene variants (rs4810485, rs1883832 and rs3765459) and serum CD154 protein levels in Iranian migraineurs
Authors: Ramroodi Norullah , Saboori Hadi , Sanadgol Nima 
Published: December 2018

Migraine is a chronic neurological disease described by recurrent moderate to severe headaches often in association with neuro-inflammation. As cytokines are affect the immune response and migraine exacerbation, the current study aimed to investigate the possible associations between CD40 polymorphisms and level of soluble CD154 protein with migraine. In a prospective case-control study, we studied blood samples of 190 patients with migraine (migraineurs) and 200 healthy controls (HCs) from southeast Iran. Genotyping for the CD40 (rs4810485-intron, rs1883832-5´-UTR, and rs3765459-intron) gene variants were executed using PCR-RFLP and soluble CD154 protein levels were measured via ELISA method. Among CD40 gene variants, rs1883832 (TC genotype) was significantly associated with migraine (P = 0.007, OR = 2.326, 95% CI = 1.258-4.303). No significant associations observed between the rs4810485 and rs3765459 SNPs with migraine. The most frequent genotypes for CD40 were GG in rs4810485 (51.5%) and rs3765459 (62.1%) as well as TC in rs1883832 (53.7%). There was no statistically relationship between these gene variants and different subclasses of migraine. Concentration of soluble CD40L among patients with rs1883832 (TC genotype) were significantly (P = 0.027, OR = 0.417, CI = 0.192-0.906) higher in compared to healthy controls. Our findings showed that in CD40 rs1883832, TC genotype may have a role in migraine susceptibility. Therefore, it suggested that in addition to other factors, CD40 rs1883832 (TC genotype) genetic variation may also play a critical role in the etiology of migraine.
Der Umgang mit streitenden Schülern im Edubba’a nach den sumerischen Schulstreitgesprächen Enkiḫeĝal und Enkitalu und Ĝirinisa und Enkimanšum
Authors: Ceccarelli Manuel 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The Old Babylonian schoolmasters used the literary form of the dialogue to compose texts that were conceived as didactic material to improve the Sumerian speaking skills of their pupils and to teach them specific moral values. Some of these compositions can be labeled as school-disputes based on to their content and were probably performed at school. The ends of the school-disputes Enkiḫeĝal and Enkitalu and Ĝirinisa and Enkimanšum are particularly interesting because they provide some insight into how the schoolmasters dealt with quarreling students. In this respect Enkiḫeĝal und Enkitalu stands out for its challenge of corporal punishment. In Ĝirinisa and Enkimanšum one can note that school discipline implies a fraternal attitude between students. This fraternal attitude presupposed and reinforced the scribe’s self-confidence to form a cohesive cultural community.

Introducing the concept of pareidolia in Mesopotamian archaeology, a different perception of these motifs is suggested, according to which they might present representations of two entangled human beings.
The Verbal Syntax of Hattian
Authors: Schrijver Peter 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
There is much controversy over the question of the syntactic alignment of Hattian. A resolution is complicated by the fact that Hattian has a poor case morphology. This investigation into the functions of the prefixes waa= and eš= (with various allomorphs), which occur both as plural prefixes to nouns and as verbal prefixes expressing third person plural actants, attempts to resolve the issue on the basis of a detailed study of the relevant material. As it turns out, Hattian has a split system, with an accusative base in verbal forms that do not contain the prefix tu= and an ergative base in verbal forms that do contain that prefix. Intransitive subject, transitive subject and object are all morphosyntactically distinguished, so that it can be argued that Hattian has a split three-way system of alignment. This complicated system is typologically similar to alignment in Sumerian.
Making new biomarkers a reality: the case of serum human epididymis protein 4
Authors: Ferraro Simona , Panteghini Mauro 
Published: December 2018

Abstract

Background
Measurement of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in serum has recently been proposed for clinical use in the framework of ovarian cancer (OvCa). We sought to retrace the translational phase and the clinical implementation steps boosting HE4’s clinical value and discuss the effects of its introduction on the diagnostic and management pathways.

Methods
Meta-analyses of running evidence have preliminarily suggested that HE4 may overcome carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in identifying OvCa, showing however several gaps that need to be considered, i.e. definition of biomarker diagnostic performance in the early detection of OvCa, added diagnostic value, biological and lifestyle factors of variation, and optimal interpretative criteria. Investigation of the influencing factors has shown that renal impairment represents a major limitation for HE4’s diagnostic power. On the other hand, the demonstration of the substantial equivalence of results obtained by commercially available assays allows recommending harmonized thresholds for diagnostic purpose, even if the study of HE4’s biological variation has clarified that the longitudinal interpretation of the biomarker changes according to the reference change value could be more appropriate.

Summary
We used HE4 as an example for describing the long and bumpy road for making a new biomarker a reality, and the issues that should be checked and the information that should be provided in moving a novel biomarker from its discovery to an effective clinical adoption.
Prenatal diagnosis of 17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD) in a case of 46,XY sex discordance and low maternal serum estriol
Authors: Mohnach Lauren , Mazzola Sarah , Shumer Daniel , Berman Deborah R. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract

Background
A discrepancy between the fetal karyotype and the appearance of genitalia on ultrasound can be a diagnostic challenge. In these cases, it is difficult to shorten the extensive list of differential diagnoses without information on internal anatomy and endocrine profile.

Case presentation
Here, we describe a diagnosis of 17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD), which was suspected based on low maternal serum estriol in the setting of 46,XY genitalia discordance. Through collaboration between maternal-fetal medicine and disorders of sex development (DSD) teams, the patient was counseled about the diagnosis and postnatal management plans were made.

Conclusions
This case illustrates how prenatal diagnosis of this rare condition led to reduced parental stress and seamless transition to postnatal care.
Me, Myself and I: Self-fetishisation in the Age of the Selfie
Authors: Madureira Miriam 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In this article, I deal with some new aspects of the late-modern constitution of subjectivity, related to the use of new communication technologies. By developing some intuitions associated with an interpretation of contemporary social life based mostly on Marx’s conception of fetishism, I hope to offer a provisional account of a few consequences of such developments for the conception of the self. I differentiate among several dimensions of a process through which the self-objectification enhanced by those developments leads to self-fetishisation and self-commodification, as well as capitalisation, and indicate its possible contradictions. I argue that while self-objectification is in itself not a problem, reflecting only a shift towards a conception of authenticity which is no longer related to something like an inner true core, self-fetishisation and its consequences contradicts this process’ own promises.
August Wilson, Afrofuturism, & Gem of the Ocean
Authors: Boynton Anthony Dwayne 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
August Wilson's Century Cycle is as much a theatrical experiment of black cultural history and sociology as it is one of storytelling. Though often considered a realist playwright, Wilson walks beyond the realist landscape into speculative and imagined ones in Gem of the Ocean. His investment in cultural critique and history enhances the possibility of an enriching analysis of his work as speculative fiction. This research project locates the ties between Wilson’s affinity with history and the creation of a dystopian Pittsburgh in the play. In Wilson’s work, set in 1904, the antebellum past is so close to the post-Emancipation present, temporally and socio-politically, that there is almost no difference at all. The flattening of time Wilson insinuates through the milieu, a capitalist-police state, is articulated through characters’ relationship with it. Wilson is welcomed in conclusion into black speculative traditions of re-imagining time and using cultural histories to critique cultural realities.
“At This Age, This Is Who I Am”: CeCe Winans, Exilic Consciousness, and the American Popular Music Star System
Authors: Nelson Angela M. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
My paper addresses the intersections of the American popular music star system, Black female Gospel singers, Gospel Music, and the exilic consciousness of the Sanctified Church with special attention to life and music of Gospelwoman Priscilla Marie “CeCe” Winans Love. I argue that CeCe Winans and the marketing campaign for Winans’ album Let Them Fall in Love, is indicative of the encroachment of American popular music’s star system into self-elected “exiled” Gospel Music and into the lives of “exiled” Gospelwomen. Gospelwomen are 20th and 21st century urban African American Protestant Christian women who are paid for singing Gospel Music and who have recorded at least one Gospel album for national distribution. The self-elected exile of Gospelwomen refers to their decision to live a life based on the values of the Kingdom of God while encountering and negotiating opposing values in American popular culture. Gospelwomen and Gospel Music are impacted by the demands of stardom in America’s celebrity culture which includes achieved success and branding. Gospelwomen negotiate these components of stardom molding them into mechanisms that conform to their beliefs and needs.
