This great stage of androids: Westworld, Shakespeare and the world as stage
Authors: Winckler Reto 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article sets out to explore how the world-as-stage metaphor and metatheatrical elements are employed in Home Box Office’s (HBO) 2016 television series Westworld and Shakespeare’s plays. In Shakespeare, the world-as-stage metaphor is pervasively used to unsettle the audience’s conceptions of reality and personal identity. Westworld similarly employs the metaphor to question identity and agency. By adapting many of the metatheatrical devices and motifs used by Shakespeare to a science fiction setting and to humanoid androids, Westworld explores new facets of ancient questions on role-play, reality, fiction, freedom and determinism. Whereas in Shakespeare metatheatre is confined to the stage, the world in Westworld has literally become a stage and the audience members have turned into players. Incorporating ideas drawn from cognitive linguistics, the history of theatre, neuropsychology, philosophy of mind, current debates about free will and determinism and early modern protestant theology, this article seeks to demonstrate how in both Westworld and Shakespeare’s plays, theatre and reality ultimately become one because they run against the same final boundary: death.

Contested urban heritage: Discourses of meaning and ownership of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, Spain
Authors: Rosa Brian , Jover-Báez Jaime 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Córdoba, Spain is currently at the centre of a national, and increasingly international, dispute surrounding its most recognizable symbol: the Mosque-Cathedral. Built for Muslim worship beginning in the eighth century, and consecrated as a Catholic church in the thirteenth century, this temple is protected as a World Heritage Site (WHS) and is widely promoted as a symbol of religious coexistence. Contemporary conflicts, arising as Córdoba began promoting an economic development model based on cultural tourism, revolve around the appropriate restoration, ownership, and cultural meaning of the monument. The local chapter of Catholic Church, in an attempt to cement its claims of ownership, has increasingly minimized the building’s Muslim past and used the site for evangelization. Exploring contemporary conflicts surrounding this monument offers a paradigmatic case to examine the political economy and cultural politics of urban heritage and the importance of discourse in shaping political agendas around memory, identity and ownership.
Urban fortunes: Spatializing the community of money in Alex de la Iglesia’s La comunidad
Authors: Compitello Malcolm A. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article reads Alex de la Iglesia’s La comunidad (2000) as an act of resistance to urban transformation in Madrid and its deleterious consequences. Crucial to the arguments advanced in these pages are the idea of community and the importance of place. The former is one of the five formative elements of urban consciousness in David Harvey’s project of explaining the urban process under capital. The film presents an extended, problematic, examination of how a grouping that should bind people together can be skewed by money and capital to do the opposite. These pages also underscore the filmmaker’s deep engagement with urban issues in a way that makes the places in which the members of the community interact help form the arguments in favor of resisting the abuses of the urban process that he weaves into its narrative structure.
Edward Soja’s postmetropolis: A contemporary urban phenomenon as seen in Latin American cinema
Authors: Franco Andrea 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article presents a survey of some of the most recent theories in the fields of cinema and the city. A series of Latin American movies have been analysed from the perspective of urban space, with special attention to Edward Soja’s notion of ‘postmetropolis’. Contemporary filmmakers capture cities like Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City as spaces in transition, deeply fragmented and made from layers of previous cityscapes. Finally, I revisit the idea of cinema as a way of life, drawing from Louis Wirth’s essay ‘Urbanism as a way of life’, and of cinematisation of social life by Gilles Lipovetsky and Jean Serroy.
Digital Barcelona: An interdisciplinary urban cultural studies digital project
Authors: Fraser Benjamin , Kresz Camille , Swain Irina 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Barcelona has long been equated with the discourse of urban modernity. Considered a global city – and even a ‘top-model’ city – the capital of Catalunya invites interested students, scholars and critics to investigate and synthesize various strains of urban discourse. From the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries, themes of city planning, parks and green space, architecture and design, health and medicine, science and electricity, class and migration, and spectacular tourism and gentrification have all been on display for travellers. Readers/viewers interested in cultural production can find no shortage of films and prose publications that engage the city’s spatial form. The collaborative ‘Digital Barcelona’ (2017) project brings these discourses together in an Omeka exhibit and allows viewers to interact with them spatially in a Neatline map. This short-form article explores the potential for social sciences and humanities approaches to combine in a site-focused, interdisciplinary approach to urban culture. At the same time, it also documents the potential of digital projects on cities to involve students and faculty in collaborative research.
Introduction: Imagining Ground Zero
Authors: Mohibullah Huma , Lund Martin 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article discusses the cultural mediation, memorialization and representation of Ground Zero, New York. It considers the site not only in terms of its materiality, but also as a powerful thought concept and outlines how the space and its reception have been treated in other scholarly literature. It contextualizes this special section, which interrogates the ideologies and practices that shape the area, for not only do these craft dominant images of the space, they also challenge hegemonic representations of it. The article also points to strengths and weaknesses in extant work on Ground Zero and introduces the contributions to this special section, in order to situate them within a larger scholarly framework.
No safe spaces: Notes on the National September 11 Museum
Authors: Frost Laura 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article examines how the National September 11 Museum – and particularly its core Historical Exhibition – tells a specific narrative about 9/11 and also signals to viewers how to respond to that narrative. The museum’s design strategies are ‘read’ as an expression of one version of the September 11 narrative reflecting distinctive sensibilities and susceptibilities in post-9/11 American culture. Through a descriptive walk-through informed by the museum design team’s behind-thescenes commentary, the article explores how the museum achieves its effects and their wider implications. At every level, the museum is deeply rooted in contemporary national conversations about security. Far more than a tourist attraction, the museum is also a powerful spatial, physical reflection of the current shape of the September 11 narrative in America as well as post-9/11 America’s deepest anxieties and challenges.
‘Every day is 9/11!’: Re-constructing Ground Zero in three US comics
Authors: Lund Martin 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article analyses three comics series: writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Tony Harris’ Ex Machina (August 2004–August 2010); writer Brian Wood and artist Riccardo Burchielli’s DMZ (November 2005–February 2012); and writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson’s The Boys (October 2006–November 2012). Taking literary critic Laura Frost’s concept of ‘archifictions’ as its starting point, the article discusses how these series frame the September 11 attacks on New York and their aftermath, but its primary concern is with their engagement with the larger social ramifications of 9/11 and with the War on Terror, and with how this engagement is rooted in and centred on Ground Zero. It argues that this rooting allows these comics’ creators to critique post-9/11 US culture and foreign policy, but that it also, ultimately, serves to disarm the critique that each series voices in favour of closure through recourse to recuperative architecture.
Giving visibility to urban change in Rio de Janeiro through digital audio-visual culture: A Brazilian webdocumentary project and its circulation
Authors: Holmes Tori 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article discusses the crowdfunded Brazilian webdocumentary project Domínio Público (produced by the audio-visual collective Paêbirú Realizações Cultivadas), which portrays urban transformations in Rio de Janeiro in the run-up to the city’s hosting of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, with a particular focus on the impact in the city’s favelas. It argues that Domínio Público can be understood as a snapshot of a key moment in the recent history of Rio de Janeiro and of Brazil, which intertwines Rio’s urban transformations with digital audio-visual culture, fundamental for the circulation and visibility of these processes in Brazil and abroad, as well as with national political processes and crises which would go on to take unforeseen directions and proportions after the film’s release. The article shows how circulation and visibility were embedded in the project from the outset, and became an intrinsic part of its critical narrative on urban transformations.
Haptic film spaces and the rhythms of everyday life in São Paulo in Lina Chamie’s A via láctea
Authors: Rajca Andrew C. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
In dialogue with Henri Lefebvre’s concept of ‘rhythmanalysis’ and Giuliana Bruno’s notion of ‘haptic cinema’, this article examines the ways that Brazilian director Lina Chamie’s 2007 film A via láctea explores imagined and material experiences of everyday life in the megalopolis of São Paulo. It suggests that a rhythmanalytic approach to the study of film spectatorship can offer new perspectives on multisensorial engagement with the cinematic city that move beyond the traditional focus on gaze in film studies. Via close ‘readings’ of the form and content of the film, the article explores how the cinematic apparatus (e.g. camera placement, editing, soundtrack) can create a haptic filmic space for viewers, where the multiple, contradictory temporal and spatial rhythms of urban environments can be felt and ‘touched’. The article contends that by placing the notions of rhythmanalysis and haptic cinema into a productive dialogue, we can explore new ways to link socialscience-based urban studies and humanities inflected film studies in critical engagement with both the imagined and material city.
A propagandist’s guide to twenty-first-century image literacy
Authors: Finkelstein Avram 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The recent attempt to write the ‘History of AIDS’ in the midst of an ongoing pandemic has helped solidify media storytelling that paints institutional frameworks as receptive to dissent, proof ‘the system works’ with little indication of who it works for. In this context, the canon of political art that came out of ACT UP New York is re-deployed in support of an intricate ecosystem of power narratives that has triggered a second AIDS crisis, a crisis of remembering, and it has tipped artists, activists, and archivists into a historiological tailspin. Still, if the images created for the AIDS activist movement effectively ‘branded’ the resistance to institutional power, what insights can they provide into the 2016 American election, a moment seized by a candidate less interested in running the country than in running a brand, one constructed on the complex sleight-of-hand of social media and the increasingly permeable border between the commons and the images we use to represent it?

Authors: Yu Betty 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The Chinatown Art Brigade is a collective of Asian American artists, media makers and activists with roots in NY Chinatown. Since its founding in 2015 by artists Betty Yu, ManSee Kong and Tomie Arai, The Chinatown Art Brigade has facilitated a series of community led responses to gentrification and displacement, created in partnership with the Chinatown Tenants Union, a programme of CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities. Our work is driven by a deep love for our community and the fundamental belief that fighting against racial and economic inequity must be central to our cultural and art making process.
At the intersection of education, art and activism: The case for Creative Chemistries
Authors: Hamlin Jessica 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The work of many contemporary artists includes the use of dialogue and socially engaged practices. Interdisciplinary exchange, community building and participatory dialogue have been at the core of progressive education since the turn of the century. Inspired by the notion of the artist and the educator as creative ‘border crossers,’ this article describes a unique experiment in sharing creative practices in the arts and education that took place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City in November 2015 by the non-profit organization Art21. Creative Chemistries was conceived as a means of placing artists, classroom teachers, students, principals, museum educators and community organizers, policy-makers in education, representatives from community-based arts organizations and university faculty all at the same table to talk and make work together exploring the intersections and disconnects between the values framing their labour and creative practices. This narrative proposes that forms of intentional interdisciplinary dialogue should be considered an activist gesture, and highlights the voices of Creative Chemistry participants to describe the new thinking, learning and creative practices generated between them.

Authors: Hebert Pato , Fernandez Ray , Márquez Jimmy , Ozne Enzo , Scott Adrian , De La Cruz Mario Sixto , Vargas Alfy , Warrant Devon 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The Mpowerment Program was an HIV prevention effort focused primarily on young gay and bisexual men of colour in Los Angeles. The programme emphasized a harm reduction approach to sexual health while functioning as a community-based, popular education initiative. It operated from 2003 to 2009 and was based at AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA), a large non-profit service organization. In the following roundtable discussion, former Mpowerment participants and staff look back after several years to reflect on their experiences in the programme. Their recollections address themes such as communication skills, sexual wellness, community building and the artistic components and creative practices of the group.
Reflections of an illuminator
Authors: Read Mark 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Mark Read, initiator of The Illuminator, looks back over the past five years of this renowned art-activist visual culture project. Emerging out of the Occupy Wall Street movement, The Illuminator art collective has staged hundreds of interventions in public spaces, using guerilla video projections to amplify the messages of social justice activist groups all over the country, and internationally.
In this essay, Read assesses the strategic value of such semiotic strategies within social movements, and explores important connections between the political goals of the collective, and how it organizes itself economically.
MaximalLp-Lqregularity to the Stokes problem with Navier boundary conditions
Authors: Al Baba Hind 
Published: August 2017

AbstractWe prove in this paper some results on the complex and fractional powers of the Stokes operator with slip frictionless boundary conditions involving the stress tensor. This is fundamental and plays an important role in the associated parabolic problem and will be used to prove maximalLpL^{p}-LqL^{q}regularity results for the non-homogeneous Stokes problem.
Measurement uncertainty of γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) in human serum by four approaches using different quality assessment data
Authors: Zhou Rui , Qin Yanyan , Yin Hongyi , Yang Yanmin , Wang Qingtao 
Published: August 2017

Abstract

Background:
Measurement uncertainty (MU) characterizes the dispersion of the quantity values attributed to a measurand. Although this concept was introduced to medical laboratories some years ago, not all medical researchers are familiar with it. Therefore, the evaluation and expression of MU must be highlighted. In this paper, the evaluation of MU is described by using four different approaches from different quality assessment data.

Methods:
In accordance with Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty of Measurement (GUM) principles, human serum γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) level was defined as the measurand. Main sources of MU were analyzed; individual components of MU were evaluated, followed by calculation of standard uncertainty, the combined standard uncertainty and the expanded uncertainty.

Results:
In method 1, the median of expanded uncertainty (k=2) of GGT in lower level (65±1 U/L) was 5 U/L (9%, 95% confidence interval) and in higher level (116±2 U/L) was 8% (95% confidence interval), respectively. The results of method 2 were lower than that of method 1. There were no significant differences between the two other methods compared with the method 1.

Conclusions:
Three out of the four different approaches based on different quality assessment data yielded similar results. Proficiency testing or external quality assessment data used for MU evaluation can be regarded as a supplementary method in clinical laboratory.
Medical errors, malpractice, and defensive medicine: an ill-fated triad
Authors: Berlin Leonard 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
For the first 180 years following the founding of the US, physicians occasionally were sued for medical malpractice. Allegations of negligence were errors of commission – i.e. the physician made a mistake by doing something wrong, usually mistreatment of a fracture or dislocation, a complication or death following a surgical procedure, prescribing the wrong medication, and after the discovery of the X-ray by Roentgen in 1895, causing radiation burns. In the mid twentieth century malpractice allegations slowly changed from errors of commission to errors of omission – i.e. the physician failed to do something right: almost always, failed to make a diagnosis. The number of malpractice lawsuits increased at a geometric rate beginning in the 1960s, and in the 1970s physicians began practicing defensive medicine, which lead physicians to order unnecessary radiology exams and tests. In the past 20 years the number of malpractice lawsuits has been decreasing, but the practice of defensive medicine has continued. Unnecessary exams and tests increase the likelihood of overdiagnosis and overtreatment, i.e. a new kind of error of commission.
On groups with action on itself

Abstract
We introduce the notions of center, singularity and nilpotency (class) of a group with action on itself.
Also, we describe a new package GwA for GAP4, including functions checking some properties of groups with action on itself with finite underlying group. As applications of the implemented functions, we give examples of groups with action satisfying Condition 1 stated in [3].
In other words, we get concrete examples of “coquecigrue” in the terminology of Loday [8, 9].
Studies on non-phenolic lignans in alkaline cooking
Authors: Mangindaan Bill , Matsushita Yasuyuki , Aoki Dan , Yagami Sachie , Fukushima Kazuhiko 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The stability and chemical reactions of lignans during alkaline cooking is not yet fully clarified although their degradation products may have a considerable effect on the pulp and its bleaching, such as spotting and color contamination. To fill this gap, a phenolic lignan (pinoresinol) and four non-phenolic furofuran lignans (gmelinol, paulownin, eudesmin and sesamin) were submitted to alkaline cooking at various conditions. The effect of cooking duration shows that non-phenolic lignans are more stable during a 3-h reaction time than pinoresinol. After a 24-h reaction, most of the lignans were decomposed or polymerized. The effect of cooking temperature shows that pinoresinol, eudesmin and sesamin are more susceptible to degradation with increasing temperature. The concentration of the alkaline liquors only affect significantly to pinoresinol because of its acidity. It was also observed that pinoresinol, gmelinol and eudesmin give rise to small amounts of vanillin and acetovanillone, while paulownin and sesamin were mainly polymerized or degraded. To confirm the reaction mechanism of the occurrence of acetovanillone in the reaction, 13C-labeled pinoresinol was also submitted to alkaline cooking. It was revealed that the cleavage at β-β′ position occurred during alkaline reaction. The stability of these compounds during alkaline cooking are not affected by the hydroxyl group in the C-β′ position.
Characterization and Evaluation of Sorbent Materials Obtained from Orange Peel as an Alternative of Sustainable Materials for Water Treatment
Authors: Tovar Ana Karen , Arano María José , Domínguez Obed , Robles Irma 
Published: August 2017

AbstractSorbent orange peel based materials activated using NaOH and H3PO4were prepared and evaluated in order to compare sorbent efficiency, and related to their physicochemical properties. Results of physicochemical characterization demonstrated there are significant changes on surface that promotes an adsorption behavior depending on the activation method. FTIR analysis shows decreasing signal of water at 3422 cm−1of water, hemicellulose and pectin due to activation process, another decreasing signal is observed at at 1626 cm−1for CC bond, while an increasing pick is observed at 1435 cm−1which corresponds to methoxyl groups belonging to cellulosic compounds. Analysis of sorption equilibrium indicated 78 % of methyl orange sorption in orange dry peel (OP) which was sorbed after 5 hour, compared to 84 % and 98 % using 0.1 M activated sorbent material 2(AM2) and 0.6 M activated sorbent material 3 (AM3) H3PO4respectively, this process was carried out during the first 90 min of sorption process. NaOH activated sorbent material 1 (AM1) promoted 20 % to 65 % sorption. orange dry peel (OP), activated sorbent material 2 (AM2) and activated sorbent material 3 (AM3) obeyed apseudo-secondorder kinetic model, while activated sorbent material 1 (AM1) obeys apseudo-first ordermodel. Sorption equilibrium of methyl orange resulted as follows, orange dry peel (OP) followed aFreundlichequilibrium model, activated sorbent material 1 (AM1) aLangmuirmodel, while activated sorbent material 2 (AM2) and activated sorbent material 3 (AM3) toHillmodel. Activated sorbent materials with H3PO4showed 750–770 mg/g of methyl orange which represent high sorption capacities. Orange peel sorbent material previously activated with H3PO4represents a good alternative to reduce water pollution, and also residues of orange peel could be reduced by this alternative treatment.
