The good waiter’s guide in search of morsels of magic: Turning ethnography into fiction
Authors: Plasatis Alexandros 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article is a version of the theoretical part of my Ph.D. thesis in creative writing, which accompanied a text entitled The Musty Currant-Breads: A Novel in Stories. The stories take place in Greece, in an all-night café by the harbour, where Egyptian immigrants who work as fishermen spend their spare time. Pavlo, waiter in the café, has an uneasy relationship with other locals, and he enters the marginalized world of these fishermen. I employed ethnographic techniques to gather material that I later used for the stories while working as a waiter, and I researched the lives of Egyptian fishermen by undertaking participant observation and autoethnography. In this article I show how a creative writer could use anthropological techniques and how ethnography could be turned into fiction.
Rebooting the lyrical short story: Experimenting with viewpoint
Authors: Stewart Michael 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article examines the writings of short story theorists, Michael O’Toole, Monika Fludernik, Uri Margolin, Bruce Morrissette and John Gerlach, and analyses their findings through comparison with a number of experiments with viewpoint in my recently published short fiction collection Mr Jolly (2016). These experiments include utilizing second-person in order to understand its ability to exploit narrative indeterminacy, as well as other experiments with point of view in order to explore how various narrative modes can enhance dramatic engagement. Finally, the link between viewpoint and other narrative effects is demonstrated through the inclusion of a short story example from the collection.

Translation and the poetics of the orphan: Abdelkébir Khatibi, discourse and difference
Authors: Reeck Matt 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Three works from the 1970s from the oeuvre of Moroccan writer, sociologist and theorist Abdelkébir Khatibi announce a poetics of the orphan that renounces the western metaphysics of parousia and its conservative ontology of the self that limits the potential for personal development and self-understanding. Applying the poetics of the orphan to translation, this article argues that it helps identify the ways by which the same metaphysics dominates traditional conversations about translation through, chiefly, the standard of fidelity. It traces the semiotic understanding that Khatibi brings to the poetics of the orphan, and it elucidates the ways that Khatibi’s poetics of the orphan relies on semiotic concepts from the work of Michel Foucault and Julia Kristeva. Khatibi’s poetics of the orphan offers to translation theory a critical wedge to place against the force of fidelity’s – and parousia’s – at times overwhelmingly seductive imperative to authenticate origins as conceptual wholes.
‘Can you see me? All of me?’ Performing the child soldier in Congo My Body
Authors: Messay Marda 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article examines Congo My Body, an autobiographical performance performed in 2011 at the festival Hautes Tensions de La Villette in Paris, France, by former Congolese child soldiers Serge Amisi and Jean René Yaoundé Mulamba, and choreographer Djodjo Kazadi. In this work, the three performers recreate Amisi and Mulamba’s experiences as child soldiers in Joseph Kabila’s army from 1997 to 2001. After establishing the stereotypical and oftentimes narrow western representations of child soldiers as a starting point, this article identifies how the performers use the performance space to bridge the perceived otherness of the child soldier and position the audience as witnesses. Through the use of their own bodies and puppets, the performers not only recreate the child soldiers’ indoctrination into violence and its traumatic and devastating effects but also blur the line between victim and aggressor. This article argues that with Congo my Body, the performers attempt to make the spectators aware of their own perception of child soldiers and encourage the audience to reflect on the child soldiers’ fate beyond the performance.
Josephine Baker: Artist and dissident
Authors: Armianu Irina 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Josephine Baker’s debut in Paris coincides with a key moment of great change in public opinion in defining French culture and French national identity. After World War II, Parisians were still under the charm of magical colonial exoticism. The French showed a great interest in Josephine Baker because of her futuristic style hybridized with African, American and French influences. This article considers colour (defining French modernism as a plurality of race), colonial modernity (French and American immigration arts), exoticism, and feminism (a new policy within the civil rights movement) within the French political and historical context. The article focuses on multiple identities, fragmented between political engagement and postmodern aesthetics. Dedicated to changing the world of dancing, Josephine’s exotic image stands today as a universal symbol of resistance to national, cultural and colonial realities.
De la fabrique du réel (apocalyptique) dans la bande dessinée Beyrouth Bye Bye... de Barrack Rima
Authors: Calargé Carla , Gueydan-Turek Alexandra 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article examines the Lebanese bande dessinée, Beyrouth bye bye... (2015) by Barrack Rima, through the lens of anticipation narrative. Set in a dystopic place where ninja turtles cross path with crocodiles, censors and refugees, and in which the proliferation of trash threatens to drown all citizens, the characters are gradually expelled from the story and from the Lebanese capital, whose future the reader is invited to (re)consider. Rima’s sequential work, this article contends, reflects on the future of the Lebanese society and space. It also reflects on the modalities of representation and transmission of the reality it depicts. As such it is a work ‘engagé’ that tries to untangle the components of an apocalyptic future. The work becomes the receptacle of collective memory and history. While increasing awareness, it calls for a mobilization of civil society and works as an agent of socio-political action.
Ethics of resistance and fictional minds in Léonora Miano’s L’intérieur de la nuit and La saison de l’ombre
Authors: Touré Paul N. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Léonora Miano is one of the most influential francophone writers. If her early novels set in Africa gave her a status of global fame, Miano’s Afropean literature has also received more visibility in the academic world because her writing displays a genuine cultural hybridity and cordiality. This article explores the ethical motivation of forgetting and remembering in the history of Africans’ experiences of suffering and death. It specifically highlights the relationship between the concepts of resistance, morality and freedom as engines of social change in L’intérieur de la nuit in 2005 and La saison de l’ombre in 2013. Besides her Afropean themes, the ethical function and emotional content of Miano’s artistic forms on Africa are not simply a fertile ground for testing useful answers of African contemporary social and political challenges, but also a lieu de memoire.
La littérature postcoloniale francophone: Engagement ou résistance?
Authors: Laroussi Farid 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The concept of commitment is not a new one. It still it begs the question of its application across the literary landscape. Perhaps within the postcolonial context ambiguity may arise as a new challenge, especially in areas of culture and ideologies. Would not the idea of resistance be a better fit when it comes to postcolonial literature? How about the possibility of a wilful disengagement? It is usually francophone authors who take a stand, with theory questions as well as issues of literary production or exile. However, the issue of resistance holds its own dialectics, around the power of representation and national imaginaries.
How to serve British Asian communities? The dilemmas facing the BBC
Authors: Aujla-Sidhu Gurvinder 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article examines the BBC Asian Network digital radio station, which is tasked specifically to serve the ‘hard to reach’ British Asian diaspora. The station was established as a national digital service in 2002, expanded in 2006 and saved from closure in 2011. In 2016 the BBC’s Royal Charter included diversity as a key public goal, which requires the BBC to better reflect minority ethnic communities in the United Kingdom on-screen and behind the cameras. The BBC Asian Network needs to increase listener figures. However, interviews with staff working on the BBC Asian Network highlight how top down policies conflict with the needs of British Asian audiences. Specifically, this article argues that that long-standing core public service values that emphasize news and current affairs programmes and minority language promotion conflict with the BBC Asian Network’s goal to attract young audiences.

Public service hit radio? Playlists and product differentiation in the competition for listeners
Authors: Hellman Heikki , Vilkko Arto 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Since the 1960s, public service broadcasters have attempted to meet the demand for music by young listeners. As commercial radio offerings have expanded, and as public broadcasters are monitored more closely than before, the question arises as to what degree and in which ways public service radio should differ from commercially formatted stations. This article analyses the differentiation strategies applied in music programming by major radio stations in targeting youth and young adults in Finland. Employing a multi-measure approach in the analysis of the content, the results confirm that YleX, a popular music station of the public broadcaster YLE, differs significantly from its major commercial rivals Energy and The Voice. The article argues that even a radio station focusing on the latest hits can fulfil a public service mission.
‘Songs You Need to Hear’: Public radio partnerships and the mobility of national music
Authors: Fauteux Brian 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Public radio broadcasters are mandated to act as vehicles for supporting and promoting national culture, including music. Despite a predominately national focus, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has partnered with public broadcasters from other nations in a song-sharing initiative called ‘Songs You Need to Hear’. The initiative includes a monthly blog post with embedded audio and brief descriptions of the music by radio hosts from CBC (Canada), BBC (UK), NPR (US), ABC (Australia), and RTÉ (Ireland). This article explores the ways in which a mobile, transnational song-sharing project emerged between 2000 and 2015 and what it reveals about the pressures and new models developed in this period of digital transmission. ‘Songs You Need To Hear’ represents the current state of public media in which the need to digitize, globalize, and universalize, combined with unreliable funding models, has resulted in the treatment of music on the radio as inexpensive and highly accessible content that straddles the line between the global brand extension of public media institutions and ideas about the fundamental role of public media in their support of national culture.
‘There’s a star man waiting in the sky’: How does public radio approach under-the-radar musicians in the United Kingdom and Spain?
Authors: Costa Gálvez Lola 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The present article aims to address one specific issue concerning public service media: how does public radio approach under-the-radar musicians? Throughout its history public radio has continued to discover and support upcoming musicians, who, by definition, have few promotional opportunities due to their position on the periphery of the music industry. This research is developed by comparing various public radio initiatives regarding under-the-radar musicians in the United Kingdom and Spain at national and regional level. Within the framework of comparative media systems, it provides case studies of BBC Introducing (BBC Radio, United Kingdom), Sona9 (CCMA, iCat.cat, Catalonia, Spain), Maketa Lehiaketa (EITB, Gaztea Irratia, Basque Country, Spain) and Proyecto Demo (RTVE, Radio 3, Spain). This subject is approached by using a mixed methodology of content analysis and interviews. The findings elucidate how these initiatives are based upon a strong public service commitment, through the combination of public service media and live venues, with particular relevance to young local music scenes and the national music industry. It is concluded that providing support to under-the-radar musicians could be a valuable lifeline for public service broadcasting in seemingly permanent crisis.
Do ‘we’ really matter? An analysis of user motivations for online interaction with public service radio
Authors: Vanhaeght Anne-Sofie , Donders Karen 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
In public service media (‘PSM’) literature and policy documents, many assumptions are being made about the increasingly active relationship users have with the media that they ‘consume’. Moreover, in recent years public broadcasters have adopted a more consumerist logic, often conceptualizing users as consumers and not as citizens. This study aims to bring in a user-centred approach in PSM theory and empirical research. More specifically, we study the motivations and thresholds for people to actually interact with online PSM content, asking questions such as: ‘What drives users to share or comment upon PSM content online?’ and ‘How do these motivations and thresholds relate to their role as citizen?’. To answer these questions, we focus on innovative public service radio formats more specifically, a field that is largely understudied. In the theoretical part, we differentiate between personal, social and altruistic motivations to interact with PSM content. For the empirical part, we conduct ten focus groups with radio listeners between the age of 15 and 34. In conclusion, we argue that media users are very often aware of their different roles as both consumer and citizen and that the latter is especially manifested in their motivations to share public service radio content.

AbstractMajor depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) are among the leading causes of burden and disability worldwide. Despite intensified research efforts to improve the treatment options and remission rates in mood disorders, no disease modifying treatment exists for these disorders. Accumulating evidence implicates the involvement of the gut microbiota in processes relevant to etiopathology of central nervous system-based disorders. The objective of this article was to critically evaluate the evidence supporting the link between gastrointestinal microbiota and mood disorders and to discuss the potential benefits of using probiotics in the treatment of MDD and BD. The concept of psychobiotics, which is bacterial-based interventions with mental health benefit, is emerging in the field. On the other hand, while probiotics might potentially represent a significant advance, specific roles of microbiota in the pathophysiology of mood disorders still need further investigation along with intervention studies.
Study on the relation between microstructural change and compressive creep stress of a PBX substitute material
Authors: Chen Lin , Han Dong , Bai Shu-Lin , Zhao Feng , Chen Jian-Kang 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
A polymer-bonded explosive, also called PBX or plastic-bonded explosive, is an explosive material in which explosive powder is bound together in a matrix using small quantities (typically 5%–10% by weight) of a synthetic polymer. A PBX substitute material was made from sugar granules and polymer binder. Its compressive creep properties were investigated at room temperature. The creep deformation was found to depend strongly on the applied stress amplitude. Under an applied stress near the strength, creep deformation developed and reached the final rupture very quickly. A power law relationship,

was established between steady creep rate and applied stress. Microscopic observations show that the damage mechanism processes include mainly the intergranular and transgranular fractures, binder fracture, and peeling. Both porosity and granule size decrease almost linearly with increasing applied stress.
Approximate Solutions for the Nonlinear Third-Order Ordinary Differential Equations
Authors: Karahan M.M. Fatih 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
A new perturbation method, multiple scales Lindstedt–Poincare (MSLP) is applied to jerk equations with cubic nonlinearities. Three different jerk equations are investigated. Approximate analytical solutions and periods are obtained using MSLP method. Both approximate analytical solutions and periods are contrasted with numerical and exact results. For the case of strong nonlinearities, obtained results are in good agreement with numerical and exact ones.
Gas Bubbles and Slugs Crossover in Air–Water Two-phase Flow by Multifractals
Authors: Gorski Grzegorz , Litak Grzegorz , Mosdorf Romuald , Rysak Andrzej 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Slugs and bubbles two-phase flow patterns dynamics in a minichannel are analysed. During the experiment, the volume flow rates of air and water were changed. We study transition of bubbles to slugs two-phase flow patterns using Fourier and multifractal approaches to optical transitivity signal. The sequences of light transmission time series are recorded by a laser-phototransistor sensor. Multifractal analysis helps to identify the two-phase structure and estimate the signal complexity. Especially, we discuss occurrence and identification of a self-aggregation phenomenon. These results are compared to corresponding Fourier spectra. The results indicate that the fractality is a an important factor influencing the distribution of the gas phase in water.
