‘Dark am I, yet lovely’: Tracing diabolical evil and femininities in gothic fusion tribal belly dance
Authors: Dearey Melissa 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
While belly dance as a dance genre has been recognized for its ‘ambivalence’ in terms of its empowerment of women’s identities and body types and essentializing of narrowly constructed femininities, it has nonetheless in the research literature generally been regarded positively in its influence on women’s spiritualities, corporalities, sexualities and overall well-being. But what about its attraction and allure in its ‘darker’ forms, as a way of empowering women, especially older women, and enabling them to negotiate and traverse a range of difficult, deviant, damaged and/ or otherwise negative experiences? Based primarily on a participant observation of a six-week series of dance workshops held in the north of England and drawing on my other experiences as a dancer of other belly dance forms, this article references Julia Kristeva’s psychoanalytic theory of horror and the monstrous feminine to explore the meanings, experiences and performances of ‘darkness’ in what is belly dance’s darkest genre, Gothic Fusion Belly Dance (GFBD).
Spirituality in Aurelia Baumgartner’s Tanzphilosophie
Authors: Meyer-Dinkgräfe Daniel 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Against the background of a non-religious understanding of spirituality in the context of consciousness studies, the article analyses the dance practice, understood as embodied philosophy, of Aurelia Baumgartner. The article considers her inspiration, intuitive collaboration with other artists, the concepts of femininity, beauty, and non-linearity central to her practice and thinking, her biography (in terms of training; a pivotal, life-changing, crossroads she encountered at the age of 14; and her heritage), and cultural and philosophical contextualizations.
Anna Halprin’s Parades and Changes: A harbinger of ritual transformations
Authors: Weber Rebecca 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This article examines the scholarly discourse on Anna Halprin’s rituals and her own use of the word ‘ritual’ in historical archives to define what determines a work as ritual. The hallmarks of ritual in both discourses include efficacious intention, audience-as-witness, transformation of space, and performers’ investment of deeper meaning in movement. In Halprin’s seminal Parades and Changes, her dancers operated in a liminal space – transitioning from what was previously acceptable to what would become acceptable for performance through embodied performativity of the nude subject. What the performance world accepted as dance changed drastically once Halprin recontextualized the nude body in performance. By its use of these hallmarks, it is clear that Parades and Changes illustrates Halprin’s early use of ritual, was transformational within theatrical contexts, and was a harbinger of the rituals to come in her later works.
Dead industrial atmosphere: Popular music, cultural heritage and industrial cities
Authors: Bottà Giacomo 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Economic crisis and popular music have often been put in synergic relation to each other especially in the context of industrial cities. Disparate genres first conceived in industrial cities, ranging from hardcore punk to house, and from post-punk to heavy metal, seem to be the most fitting score for a grey, gloomy, decaying built environment or for its evocations, but is there an organic relation between de/industrialization and cultural production? This article addresses these issues, trying to unfold the relation between industrial soundscapes and landscapes, symbolic representations, material changes and attempts to make sense of the crisis by dramatizing it, in the context of 1980s European industrial cities. It also considers the ongoing ‘heritagization’ of popular music, taking place in contemporary (post?)industrial cities and the way this relates to tourism, local economies, place perception and branding.
Our sounds, our city: Urban soundscapes, critical citizenship and the ‘LimerickSoundscapes’ project
Authors: Dillane Aileen , Langlois Tony 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
What happens when, in recording an urban soundscape, the actual recording process is handed over to a city’s people? This article explores the methodological, technological and ideological challenges and opportunities faced in a project based in the small, multicultural and post-industrial city of Limerick, in the Midwest of Ireland. The city is currently undergoing a process of urban ‘regeneration’ following decades of challenges (high unemployment rates, rapid demographic shifts brought about by global migration, social disenfranchisement in marginalized neighbourhoods, gangland criminality, and considerable stigmatization by the national media). Facilitated by an interdisciplinary, university-based team involving urban ethnomusicologists, sociologists, media and information technology specialists, and soundscape composers, ‘LimerickSoundscapes’ activates ‘citizen collectors’ as critical collaborators in the research process, as well as partners with a vested interest in representing and recreating their city through local sounds as part of lived experience. The project connects soundscapes and acoustic ecology studies with cultural geography, and with urban, applied ethnomusicology’s focus on human subjects. Through an evocation of ‘critical citizenship’ and ‘creative regions’, ‘LimerickSoundscapes’ offers a particular kind of model for soundscape generation that has the individual as a networked, social being and creative, critical citizen at its core.
Ragged places and smooth surfaces: Audio walks as practices of making and doing the city
Authors: Moles Kate , Saunders Angharad 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This article engages with how our auditory engagement with a particular soundscape helps frame and construct the places we move in and influences the ways we relate to our surroundings, to others and to ourselves. Its empirical focus is a series of urban audio walks that were made and carried out within a public engagement project designed to actively involve the participants and walkers in a relationship with(in) the place, community, history and culture. The article explores how this project worked with and challenged the form of the traditional, tourist-orientated audio walk, which tend to represent the city as a smooth, historicized space ready to be consumed. The walks produced in this project were more improvisational; they were vehicles for expressing the ragged, common sense topographies or place in the world of the participants. This tension draws to the surface questions of critical citizenship, as we trace how the participants ‘mapped their world’ within the pre-existing and often overwhelming cartographies of their world and how this, in turn, allowed us to think more about the ways in which they position themselves and are positioned within dominant discourses as a particular type of citizen and urban dweller.
‘Our Sonic Playground’: A model for active engagement in urban soundscapes
Authors: Leonardson Eric 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
‘Our Sonic Playground’ is the name of a public event organized by the author in 2013 for the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Chicago. This project attracted the participation of a number of local artists interested in sound, music and the environment. Many were members of the ‘World Listening Project’ and Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology. ‘Our Sonic Playground’ suggested that this event could serve as a model for actively engaging the public in soundscape awareness, an oftenneglected aspect of life in urban and other environments. This model is potentially useful for future engagements by providing a ‘recipe’ or set of practical suggestions for educators and ‘critical citizens’ as it relates to broader concerns with environmental change, urbanism, and awareness of place and public space. The author’s pedagogy of play and free improvisation emphasizes the importance of community and a type of aural-tactile engagement with listening and sound making that critically employs the physical, social and aesthetic role of media technology. This interest in public engagement is informed by the foundational work in the early 1970s, by the ‘World Soundscape Project’, and subsequent activities led by Canadian composers R. Murray Schafer, Hildegard Westerkamp and Barry Truax. Partnerships with local arts institutions, community organizations, led by faculty and students at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the city’s large creative community show how art and technology can reach out of the academy and into daily lives of people by effecting the acoustic identities of cities in positive and socially meaningful ways.
Neo-liberalism: Persistence and resistance
Authors: Owens Linus 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
These three books take on varying responses to the forces of neo-liberalism. Jeremy Gilbert’s book Common Ground approaches the problem through theory, seeking to challenge the ideology of individualism at the heart of neo-liberal projects. Drawing on a diverse group of post-structuralist and democratic thinkers, he critiques the neoliberal fear of the crowd, offering an alternative vision of community based on radical creativity and participatory democracy. Claudio Cattaneo and Miguel Martinez, in their edited volume The Squatters’ Movement in Europe, provide a more practical approach to resisting neo-liberal capitalism: urban squatting. Framing squatting as a movement against capitalism and for the right to the city, the contributors document a wide range of case studies across Europe and the United States, describing a movement simultaneously challenging neo-liberal urban development and increasingly under threat by the forces of capital and the state. Lesley J. Wood’s book, Crisis and Control, on the militarization of protest policing investigates these issues from the other side, showing how protest policing is not only a means to defend neo-liberalism, but also caught up within these same forces. She traces militarization as the outcome of growing interactions between local and global forces, the more ambiguous nature of contemporary threats, and a push towards professionalization that links military, security forces, and police more tightly together. Read jointly, these books provide important insights into the ideological and structural conditions underpinning neo-liberalism, as well as efforts to change them.
Vagón fumador: Desire and dissatisfaction in the neo-liberal nocturnal city
Authors: Sdrigotti Fernando 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This article explores the representation of Buenos Aires during the climax of the Argentine neo-liberal crisis in Vagón fumador/Smokers Only by Chen (2003), through an analysis of the spatial practice of its characters. It is not argued here that the film sets out to capture this crisis. The opposite could be argued: the film – even when attempting to avoid referring to its socio-economic moment – works as an involuntary register of these most critical of times, capturing its context tangentially, in a clear example of the forms in which New Argentine Cinema embarked in the production of meaning in ways that are not necessarily dependent on narrative. Buenos Aires in the film is portrayed as a thoroughly commodified space, deeply embedded in the economic logic of the time, where everything is consumed like a spectacle: neo-liberal space perfected.
Urban soundscapes and critical citizenship: Explorations in activating a ‘sonic turn’ in urban cultural studies
Authors: Dillane Aileen , Langlois Tony , Power Martin J. , Bhriain Orfhlaith Ní 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This special section of the Journal of Urban Cultural Studies engages with the idea of activating a ‘sonic turn’ in urban cultural studies scholarship, in part through the evocation of the paradigm of critical and participatory citizenship, as well as through critical approaches to understanding how sound and music are implicated in the texture of a city. This work is therefore informed by theorizations of topdown and of bottom-up approaches to engagements with, and representation of, the city, through sonic and musical means. Drawing on a variety of disciplinary approaches, including urban ethnomusicology, urban sociology, cultural geography, acoustic ecology and soundscapes studies, this introductory article examines what is meant by ‘the sonic turn’ as it relates to sound and music studies and how and why this should matter to the study of cities and of the urban experiences of citizens in the broadest sense. This introduction also summarizes aspects of the five papers in this collection, signalling the different approaches taken by each of the authors as evidence of the richness such sonic and musical investigations into the city and the urban experience can bring to urban cultural studies. With a focus on urban ethnography and on applied dimensions of research, particularly in the contemporary city, this article seeks to underscore the importance of listening to and hearing the city, especially for those citizens that do not necessarily have an ‘official’ voice or the technical means to interpret and engage with their sonic environments. Finally, this article suggests how sonic cultural interventions and engagements may assist, if not in social regeneration, at least in promoting a greater understanding of the complex sonic dimensions of city life as mediated and experienced by urban dwellers and as imagined by others.

From Hippocrates to statistics. A historical perspective
Authors: Gryglewski Ryszard Witold 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Hippocrates introduced some level of philosophical reflection to the art of medical practice and made it a science for the very first time. This is how medicine was born. Introducing his theory of life, which was based on the principle of balance of four liquids (sc. humoral theory), Hippocrates created the first model of living organism in its proper physiological condition as well as in its pathological symptoms. The influence of Hippocratic thought on the development of European medicine was significant and became an inspiration for many generations of physicians seeking a final definition of health and disease. This, in consequence, resulted in the development of methodical tools that could be helpful in the description and interpretation of the phenomenon of life. The introduction of “numerical” methods followed by statistical methods to 19th-century medicine opened new ways for scientific investigation. One of most important pioneers in that field was French physician Pierre-Charles-Alexandre Louis. Statistics played an important role in the formation of new pathological and epidemiological models by Carl Rokitansky, Ignaz Semmelweis, and John Snow, became a standard procedure in clinical research of Carl Wunderlich, and finally found its full development in present-day evidence-based-medicine.

An emerging future infinitive in present day German?
Authors: Reiner Tabea Elina 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis paper puts forward the hypothesis that there is a future infinitive evolving in present day German and addresses the theoretical consequences that this might have. Section 1 gives the basic definitions as well as some introductory examples. Section 2 presents evidence in favour of the hypothesis, and possible objections are considered in section 3. Finally, section 4 focusses on more theoretical implications.
ABO Typing Studies on Liquid Urines
Authors: Chase MG 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
ABO typing was successfully performed on 46 urine samples whose ABO group and secretor status had been determined previously from blood and saliva. Twenty-four urine samples were collected on which blind studies, time studies, and storage studies were performed. Multiple urines from several individuals were collected to evaluate the duplicity of the test. Also, urines were collected from pregnant and menstruating females to determine if ABO typing was affected under these conditions. Results of these studies are discussed.
Magnetic Identification of Headlight Glass
Authors: Mires RW 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Magnetic susceptibility measurements over the temperature range 4 to 300K have been used to identify and distinguish among various samples of headlight glass. With a few exceptions, it is found that the technique can be useful in such applications and that improvements in accuracy, which are possible, would even eliminate these exceptions. The method is also applicable to the identification of other types of samples of forensic science interest such as soils, window glass, and metals.
The Detection of Iron Traces on Hands by Ferrozine Sprays: A Report on the Sensitivity and Interference of the Method and Recommended Procedure in Forensic Science Investigation
Authors: Lee C-W 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Spectrophotometric studies and controlled laboratory tests showed that ferrozine alone is inefficient in revealing iron traces on hands. However, when a reducing agent capable of converting Fe(III) to Fe(II) is used in conjunction with the ferrozine spray, the sensitivity of the detection is greatly enhanced. Several reducing agents including sulfite, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, thioglycollic acid, and ascorbic acid were studied, and ascorbic acid was found to be the best choice in terms of the reduction efficiency and nontoxicity. The effects of copper, zinc, nickel, aluminum, tin, lead, and chromium on the detection of iron by ferrozine with and without the reducing agents were studied, and ways to remove the interference or to interpret the results in the presence of interference are suggested. Finally, a procedure is outlined for spraying hands and gloves with a ferrozine-ascorbic acid mixture and deducing from the revealed iron traces the kinds of metal objects with which they have been in contact. A procedure is also outlined for transferring iron traces from hands onto filter paper for those persons who refuse to have their hands sprayed with chemicals like ferrozine whose toxicity is unknown.
Experimental Study of Postmortem Change Under Field Conditions: Effects of Freezing, Thawing, and Mechanical Injury
Authors: Micozzi MS 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Understanding the processes of postmortem change in biologic systems is important to the forensic sciences. Previous experimental studies of postmortem change in animals under field conditions made use of animal carcasses that had been incidentally exposed to the effects of freezing and thawing or mechanical damage, or both, and were limited to gross observations. The current study was designed to document intrinsic processes of postmortem change, and the effects of freezing-thawing and mechanical injury, under controlled conditions in the field, using histologic and microbiologic techniques, as well as gross observation. Insect and microbiologic succession sequences, and patterns of decomposition and disarticulation, were observable over time. Previously frozen-thawed animals showed predominantly decay (aerobic decomposition) in the field, while freshly killed animals showed predominantly putrefaction (anaerobic decomposition). Previously frozen animals showed the same sequence, but accelerated rates, of disarticulation. Mechanically injured tissues showed accelerated rates of decomposition. These findings have implications for the interpretation of results of previous studies, as well as the interpretation of human and animal remains subjected to freezing and thawing.
The Use of Ultrathin-Layer Agarose Gels for Phenotyping Erythrocyte Acid Phosphatase by Isoelectric Focusing
Authors: Frank WE , Stolorow MD 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
A method is described for the use of ultrathin-layer agarose gels in phenotyping erythrocyte acid phosphatase (EAP) by isoelectric focusing (IEF). The results obtained using ultrathin-layer agarose gels are shown to be equally reliable and reproducible in comparison to established ultrathin-layer polyacrylamide gels. IEF of EAP on 0.168-mm agarose gels took place in 90 min using the LKB Multiphor system. The technique described allows for both time and cost efficient phenotyping of EAP.
Sex Identification of White-Tailed Deer Using Frozen Venison
Authors: Kerr KD 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Fluids from frozen muscle tissue taken from 449 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were analyzed using a radioimmunoassay technique for testosterone. Comparing 309 deer sampled in early November, antlered males had significantly higher tissue testosterone levels (range = 0.18 to 16.00 ng/mL) than females (range = 0.00 to 0.18 ng/mL) while antlerless (fawn) males overlapped both groups (range = 0.00 to 0.68 ng/mL). Samples taken from 132 deer from January through August showed no differences among ages or sexes. Antlered males can be differentiated from females during the breeding season.
