Rabelais's Unreadable Books*
Authors: Bowen Barbara C. 
Published: April 2006

About twenty-five years ago, in the lobby of the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, a friend introduced me to the already legendary Eugénie Droz. As kindly as her rather haughty manner permitted, she asked me what I was working on, and when I replied “Rabelais” she said condescendingly: “Oh, do you think there is any more work to be done on Rabelais?”In the generation since that conversation a good deal of work has been done on Rabelais, much of it interesting and some of it new and exciting. M. A. Screech and his followers, most notably Jean Céard, Edwin Duval, and Florence Weinberg, have greatly expanded our understanding of Rabelais the Evangelical Christian humanist; Carol Clark and Samuel Kinser have corrected many of Bakhtin's outdated views on Rabelais and carnival; Walter Stephens has illuminated Renaissance attitudes to giants and their relevance to Rabelais.
The Gendering of the Lute in Sixteenth-Century French Love Poetry*
Authors: Zecher Carla 
Published: April 2006

Blame not my lute for he must sound Of this or that as liketh me.Sir Thomas WyattLute-poems came into vogue in France in the 1540s and 1550s. Because of the lute's shape, it could be gendered either as masculine or feminine; male and female poets therefore made use of lute imagery in different ways. Their references to the lute are informed by the gendered culture surrounding the instrument in this period and by the etiquette and technicalities of lute playing. Even more than painters and engravers, poets could invest the lute with human qualities, conflating it with bodies and body parts. It could thus be adapted to serve a variety of amorous scenarios.
Authorized Versions: Measure for Measure and the Politics of Biblical Translation
Authors: Barnaby Andrew , Wry Joan 
Published: April 2006

AbstractDespite the common practice of reading Shakespeare's Measure for Measure in relation to the cultural politics of the first year of the Stuart monarchy, politically-oriented criticism has largely neglected the play's connection to the politics of one of King James's most ambitious undertakings: the new biblical translation first announced in January of 1604 at the Hampton Court Conference. While maintaining that the play cannot be reduced to a simple allegory of James's effort to link his new political authority to the "authorizing" power of scripture, this essay examines how the "topicality" of that effort might be registered in the play's complex pattern of biblical allusion. We argue, finally, that with its staged conflict between ethical ideal and social practice, Measure for Measure offers a cautionary tale about the dangers of deploying religious rhetoric in secular political contexts.
ICJ jurisdiction under the optional clause—relevance of legality of acts to validity of reservation to jurisdiction made in contemplation of such acts—high seas—conservation and management measures

Fisheries Jurisdiction (Spain v. Canada), Jurisdiction.International Court of Justice, December 4, 1998.On May 10, 1994, Canada filed an amended declaration accepting the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). New paragraph 2(d) excluded “disputes arising out of or concerning conservation and management measures taken by Canada with respect to vessels fishing in die NAFO Regulatory Area, as defined in the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, 1978, and the enforcement of such measures.” Two days later, the Canadian Coastal Fisheries Protection Act (CFPA) and implementing regulations were amended to authorize the enforcement under certain circumstances of conservation measures applicable to foreign fishing vessels in the high seas areas to which the reservation adverted.

Irishmen, Aristocrats, and Other White Barbarians
Authors: Shuger Debora 
Published: April 2006

Et virum bonum quom laudabant, ita laudabant, bonum agricolam bonumque colonum.—Cato,De agri culturaIn 1578 Hubert Languet wrote to his young protegee Philip Sidney concerning the latter's plan to assist the Low Countries in their fight against Spain. Surprisingly, the old republican Calvinist monarchomach vetoed the idea, bluntly informing the impulsive teenager that “you and your fellows, I mean men of noble birth, consider that nothing brings you more honour than wholesale slaughter, and you are generally guilty of the greatest injustice.” This hostile assessment of the aristocratic warrior ethos — what Languet derides as “mere love of fame and honour and … displaying your courage” — bears witness to a major ideological upheaval of the early modern period: the attack on the aristocratic politics of violence and, to quote another Elizabethan, “glory got by courage of manhood.”
Imagining the Renaissance: The Nineteenth-Century Cult of François I as Patron of Art*
Authors: Cox-Rearick Janet 
Published: April 2006

A sentimental domestic scene,François I and Marguerite of Navarre, was painted in 1804 by the Salon painter Fleury Richard (fig. 1). As he explained, it illustrates an anecdote from the legend of François I. The king's sister, Marguerite de Navarre, is shown discovering on the windowpane a graffito about the inconstancy of women. François — the great royal womanizer — has just scratched it there and looks very pleased with himself.This painting signals not only the early nineteenth century's fascination with the Renaissance king, but reveals its attitudes about the Renaissance itself. For example, the setting and the costumes betray a confusion about the periodization of Gothic and Renaissance: the room in which the scene takes place is of Gothic revival design, while another room - in neo-classical style - opens beyond; the king's costume is historically correct, but Marguerite could be Maid Marian.
Caprarola's Sala della Cosmografia
Authors: Quinlan-McGrath Mary 
Published: April 2006

Il pontificato non vuol esser cercato, e chi lo cerca non lo trovaPaul III Farnese to Cardinal Alessandro FarneseThe Massive Palazzo Farnese at Caprarola looms over its plain, a mute witness to the former power of the family (fig. 1). The rocca was initiated by the first Cardinal Alessandro (Pope Paul III) and fully and magnificently developed by the second Cardinal Alessandro, his grandson. Inside, its decoration boasts of family deeds and silently eliminates family failures. Much of the decoration was minutely described by contemporaries, and documents and decoration have been carefully studied by modern scholars. However one of the major halls, that which evoked the greatest contemporary admiration, the Sala della Cosmografia, can profitably be looked at again (figs. 2-4, 8, 9).
ATP‐Responsive Manganese‐Based Bacterial Materials Synergistically Activate the cGAS‐STING Pathway for Tumor Immunotherapy

Published: February 2024

AbstractStimulating the cyclic guanosine monophophate(GMP)‐adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS)‐stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is a crucial strategy by which bacteria activate the tumor immune system. However, the limited stimulation capability poses significant challenges in advancing bacterial immunotherapy. Here, an adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP)‐responsive manganese (Mn)‐based bacterial material (E. coli@PDMC‐PEG (polyethylene glycol)) is engineered successfully, which exhibits an exceptional ability to synergistically activate the cGAS‐STING pathway. In the tumor microenvironment, which is characterized by elevated ATP levels, this biohybrid material degrades, resulting in the release of divalent manganese ions (Mn2+) and subsequent bacteria exposure. This combination synergistically activates the cGAS‐STING pathway, as Mn2+ enhances the sensitivity of cGAS to the extracellular DNA (eDNA) secreted by the bacteria. The results of the in vivo experiments demonstrate that the biohybrid materials E. coli@PDMC‐PEG and VNP20009@PDMC‐PEG effectively inhibit the growth of subcutaneous melanoma in mice and in situ liver cancer in rabbits. Valuable insights for the development of bacteria‐based tumor immunotherapy are provided here.

AbstractMetallic glasses exhibit unique mechanical properties. For metallic glass composites (MGC), composed of dispersed nanocrystalline phases in an amorphous matrix, these properties can be enhanced or deteriorated depending on the volume fraction and size distribution of the crystalline phases. Understanding the evolution of crystalline phases during devitrification of bulk metallic glasses upon heating is key to realizing the production of these composites. Here, results are presented from a combination of in situ small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) measurements during heating of Zr‐based metallic glass samples at rates ranging from 102 to 104 Ks−1 with a time resolution of 4ms. By combining a detailed analysis of scattering experiments with numerical simulations, for the first time, it is shown how the amount of oxygen impurities in the samples influences the early stages of devitrification and changes the dominant nucleation mechanism from homogeneous to heterogeneous. During melting, the oxygen rich phase becomes the dominant crystalline phase whereas the main phases dissolve. The approach used in this study is well suited for investigation of rapid phase evolution during devitrification, which is important for the development of MGC.

Published: February 2024

AbstractWe report a general, intramolecular cycloisomerization of unactivated olefins with pendant nucleophiles. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and tolerates ethers, esters, protected amines, acetals, pyrazoles, carbamates, and arenes. It is amenable to N‐, O‐, as well as C‐nucleophiles, yielding a number of different heterocycles including, but not limited to, pyrrolidines, piperidines, oxazolidinones, and lactones. Use of both a benzothiazinoquinoxaline as organophotocatalyst and a Co‐salen catalyst obviates the need for stoichiometric oxidant or reductant. We showcase the utility of the protocol in late‐stage drug diversification and synthesis of several small natural products.
Membrane‐assisted capacitive deionization: Effect of Poly(vinyl alcohol) cross‐linking on the properties of ion exchange membranes
Authors: Bakola Veroniki , Kotrotsiou Olympia , Kiparissides Costas 
Published: February 2024

AbstractNovel composite electrodes were developed for application in membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI). Activated carbon (AC) was dispersed in a solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) mixed with polyacrylic acid (PAA) or poly dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (PDMDAAC), and cast onto the surface of an AC‐based modified graphite electrode, prepared by phase inversion, to form a composite membrane further cross‐linked with glutaraldehyde (GA). The effect of the cross‐linking on the chemical structure of the PVA‐based membranes was determined by attenuated total reflectance Fourier‐transform infrared (ATR‐FTIR) spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry was conducted to examine the specific capacitance of the composite electrodes. Desalination experiments were then performed with MCDI unit cells to study the effect of cross‐linking on the desalination efficiency. It was proved that after optimization, the synthesized composite electrodes exhibited one and a half times higher NaCl removal capacity and three times higher adsorption rate as compared to that of a conventional CDI cell using commercial ion exchange membranes (IEMs) with almost the same energy consumption. The enhanced desalination performance was attributed to the optimized properties of the selected polymers and the improved adhesion of IEMs to the electrodes. This research paves the way for the application of new materials in MCDI processes for improved water desalination.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBio‐enhanced oil recovery (BEOR) is an advanced and innovative approach in the oil industry that could be a potential solution to increase oil production from existing reservoirs using technologies based on biological methods. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of comprehensive reviews that elucidate the various aspects and potential of different BEOR methods and processes. This review summarizes the recent progress of various methods employed in BEOR, exploring their applications and highlighting their distinct advantages. BEOR employs different techniques, including microorganisms and biomicrobes microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR), enzymes, biopolymers, bionanomaterials, alkaline, and biosurfactants to increase oil recovery. Microorganisms contribute significantly to BEOR through metabolic processes that result in the production of gases and acids. The role of enzymes is to enhance the fluid flow and thereby facilitate oil production. Biosurfactants reduce the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water and mobilize the trapped oil. Biopolymers are obtained from biological sources such as plants, microorganisms, and algae. Biopolymers can interact with oil, which is well‐used in the process of EOR. Bionano processes represent a fusion of biology and nanotechnology, integrate the advantages of both microorganisms and nanoparticles, and provide a synergic effect for EOR. The BEOR revealed an attractive potential to be an effective approach to maximizing the oil recovery considering environmental, economic productivity, and sustainability issues. Also, this review encourages further studies and development in this field for fully exploiting BEOR's capacity and meeting the ever‐increasing needs of energy resources with a sustainable viewpoint.
Calculation and regulation of mutual inductance of wireless charging coils with metal shielding materials based on multiple intelligent optimization algorithms

Published: February 2024

SummaryIn wireless charging systems for electric vehicles, fluctuations in coil mutual inductance can affect both system output power and efficiency. This paper introduces a coil mutual inductance model that accounts for metal shielding material. The formula for coil mutual inductance is derived using Maxwell's equations and boundary conditions. Additionally, the paper presents a tactic for adapting the mutual inductance with the aid of an intelligent optimization algorithm, which is utilized for steadying the mutual inductance of the transmission coil. Lastly, a model of the transmission coil is developed to authenticate the practicality of the mutual inductance equation and the adaptation scheme. Measurement and calculation results indicate that the difference between the calculated value of the mutual inductance formula and the actual mutual inductance value of the coil, following deflection and offset, is below 5%. Moreover, the algorithm, along with the employed adaptation strategy, consistently demonstrates effectiveness in maintaining the mutual inductance value within a predefined range. The temporal efficiency of the algorithm, as measured by the time taken to determine this coordinate position, is consistently under 1 s. This ensures that the algorithm exhibits a rapid response time, a crucial attribute in ensuring its practical utility.
Moral inferences from androgynous faces are beyond categorical uncertainty: Evidence of a positive bias towards androgynous targets
Authors: Ansani Alessandro , Olivera‐La Rosa Antonio 
Published: February 2024

AbstractPostulating a negative bias towards social ambiguity, we conducted cross‐cultural online research to assess whether categorical discrepancies in the perception of androgynous faces were associated with the uncanny feeling and inferences of different morality. Across four studies, we found that androgynous faces were harder to classify into a binary sex category than sex‐typical faces, but this difficulty did not influence social judgements of androgynous targets in a negative fashion. In Study 1 (Spanish‐speaking sample, N = 76), we found that androgynous faces were rated as more trustworthy, less creepy, and less morally different than sex‐typical faces. Study 2 replicated most of the findings from Study 1 in an Italian sample (N = 45). Positive bias towards androgyny was not replicated with a different set of stimuli featuring faces of diverse ethnic backgrounds (Study 3, Spanish‐speaking sample, N = 140). However, results revealed a main effect of ethnicity in participants’ responses. When controlling for the effect of morphing procedures in stimuli selection, an overall positive bias towards androgynous targets arose, especially when compared to masculine targets (Study 4, Spanish‐speaking sample, N = 85). These findings suggest that, at least in certain conditions, a positive social bias towards androgynous faces may emerge that does not depend on categorical uncertainty and facial attractiveness.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBackgroundOver two‐thirds of people present to their primary care physician (or general practitioner; GP) as a first point of contact for mental health concerns. However, eating disorders (EDs) are often not identified in a primary care setting. A significant barrier to early detection and intervention is lack of primary care physician training in EDs; compounded by the significant time commitments required for training by already time‐poor general practitioners. The aim of the current study was to pilot and evaluate a microlearning programme that can be delivered to general practitioners with high workloads to help support patients with, or at risk of, developing an ED.MethodsFifty‐one Australian general practitioners aged between 25‐to‐60 years old were recruited. Participants completed a baseline questionnaire to ascertain their experience working in general practice and with EDs. Participants then completed an online programme consisting of a series of 10 case studies (vignettes) delivered over a 6–10 week period related to various facets of ED care. Following conclusion of the programme, participants were asked to complete an evaluative questionnaire related to the content of the programme; perceived knowledge, confidence, willingness‐to‐treat, skill change; and their overall experience of microlearning.ResultsAll 51 GPs completed the programme and reached completion criteria for all vignettes, 40 of whom completed the programme evaluation. Participants indicated improved skill, confidence, willingness‐to‐treat, and knowledge following the completion of the pilot programme. Almost all (97.5%; n = 39) found microlearning to be an effective method to learn about EDs; with 87.5% (n = 35) of participants reporting they felt able to apply what was learnt in practice. Qualitative feedback highlighted the benefit of microlearning's flexibility to train general practitioners to work with complex health presentations, specifically EDs.ConclusionsFindings from the current study lend support to the use of microlearning in medical health professional training; notably around complex mental health concerns. Microlearning appears to be an acceptable and effective training method for GPs to learn about EDs. Given the significant time demands on GPs and the resulting challenges in designing appropriate training for this part of the workforce, this training method has promise. The pre‐existing interest in EDs in the current study sample was high; future studies should sample more broadly to ensure that microlearning can be applied at scale.
Media coverage and pandemic behavior: Evidence from Sweden
Authors: Garz Marcel , Zhuang Maiting 
Published: February 2024

AbstractWe study the effect of media coverage on individual behavior during a public health crisis. For this purpose, we collect a unique dataset of 200,000 newspaper articles about the Covid‐19 pandemic from Sweden—one of the few countries that did not impose lockdowns or curfews. We show that mentions of Covid‐19 significantly lowered the number of visits to workplaces and retail and recreation areas, while increasing the duration of stays in residential locations. Using two different identification strategies, we show that these effects are causal. The impacts are largest when Covid‐19 news stories are more locally relevant, more visible and more factual. We find larger behavioral effects for articles that reference crisis managers (as opposed to medical experts) and contain explicit public health advice. These results have wider implications for the design of public communications and the value of the local media.
