The Sparrow’s Fall: Self’s Mergence with Identity in Louisa May Alcott’s Hospital Sketches
Authors: Martin Travis 
Published: February 2023

In This Republic of Suffering Drew Faust describes Civil War hospitals as “especially dangerous places…nurses—Louisa May Alcott prominent among them—regularly fell victim to typhoid, smallpox, and even heart failure brought on by the conditions and demands of their employment” (140). In the environment Faust describes, Louisa May Alcott “would have given much to have possessed the art of sketching, for many…faces became wonderfully interesting” (33). Alcott’s desire to depict hospitalized soldiers comes to fruition in her 1863 collection of letters turned fiction, Hospital Sketches. Although Alcott’s account is presented as fiction, it contains many levels of truth, embodying the type of story central in most debates concerning truth and authority within autobiography.Alice Fahrs refers to Hospital Sketches as “a fictionalized account of Alcott’s brief experiences as a nurse in Washington” (2) while acknowledging that the story is the product of Alcott’s very real experience written to her family in a series of letters (29). Scholars classify Hospital Sketches as fiction because it is signed by Nurse Periwinkle, Alcott’s narrator and alter ego (24). Elaine Showalter explains that the letters developed into a series of sketches and then into a book: “When she turned the sketches, originally written for the Boston antislavery paper The Commonwealth, into a book, Alcott added…Tribulation Periwinkle, a doughty spinster who goes to Washington because she wants something to do, and not because she understands very well where she is going” (xxvi). Alcott’s experience remains intact but the author does not. Hospital Sketchesstands as an example of how truth and authority in autobiography become suspect, while simultaneously allowing for significance and meaning to emerge.
Black Bodies, White Subjects: Modernist Authenticities and Anxieties in the Avant-Garde Film Borderline
Authors: Knewitz Simone 
Published: February 2023

I examine the movie Borderline in its attempt to create a language of the body. Borderline was a collaborate project of the Pool group, which included director Kenneth Macpherson, the poet H. D., and her partner Bryher. Both H. D. and Bryher star in the film, along with African American singer and actor Paul Robeson. I read Borderline as a work which parallels modernist literary experiments, for instance the poetry of William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, H. D. and Amy Lowell.1 This experimentalism is related to the problem of authenticity, which modernist authors often associate with the materiality of the body. The movie, as I will show in the following discussion, works with two different, intersecting notions of authenticity. On the one hand, it locates authenticity in the material body, especially the black body of its star Paul Robeson. On the other hand, it emphasizes the materiality of the medium itself.
Digital Attraction : from the real to the virtual in manuscript studies
Authors: Ainsworth Peter 
Published: February 2023

In a BBC Radio 4 programme broadcast on 26 April 2011 (Tales from the Digital Archive), archaeologist Christine Finn explored some of the ways in which the digital revolution has changed writers’ working methods, and the consequential impact that these have had on librarians, curators and conservators. Wendy Cope recently donated an archive of 40,000 emails to the British Library, providing scholars with invaluable material for research on drafts of her poems as they developed. Fay Weldon found herself changing quite easily from pen and paper to computer and mouse, discovering in the process that it changed how she actually wrote her novels. Altering phrases or drafts became much easier, and much cheaper too. Weldon’s archive is destined for the University of Indiana. Salman Rushdie’s archive went to Emory University in 2006, becoming available to researchers in 2010; it includes 15 years of electronic material from his computer. The British Library has a Curator of Digital Manuscripts, Jeremy John, whose strongroom contains IBM and Macintosh computers, floppies, CDs and other ephemera such as post-it slips (stored in archive boxes alongside the machines they were attached to).
Oral History and Revenge in Annie Proulx's "The Half-Skinned Steer"
Authors: Boyd Ellen 
Published: February 2023

Stories are the recordings of history and serve as reminders of personal and cultural struggle. In The Medieval Icelandic Saga and Oral Tradition, Gisli Sigurdsson writes that before the development of written language, oral history "became a kind of knowledge bank" (57) in which stories of success, as well as those of tragedy, were retold to subsequent generations. A study conducted by Daniel Bertaux and Isabelle Bertaux-Wiame concludes that "earlier generations may very well determine the shape of the trajectories of future genera­tions through what it passes on to them [. . .] for the purpose of generating foreseeable conduct" (87). While this study provides evidence that positive behaviours may be transmitted to descendents, it also implies that destructive acts may be channelled through history and generate foreseeable negative conduct. The pain of struggle, revenge, and retaliation arises from behaviours which may be perpetuated across many generations; often the original source of the feud is forgotten, yet a desire for vengeance persists.The originating concept for Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx's story "The Half-Skinned Steer" is, as the author notes, "based on an old Icelandic folktale, 'Porgeir's Bull'" (Proulx 10). Proulx's reconfiguration of the themes of revenge within this tale demonstrate how 'old' thinking can slow progress and resurrect long-forgotten grievances. In "The Half-Skinned Steer", the author relocates and remodulates the traditional folk tale to address particular issues and behaviours - work ethic, diet and vengeance - within the setting of the contemporary American West. This article will examine the ways in which Proulx reconfigures the Icelandic folktale "Porgeir's Bull" to explore intersecting themes of persistence, human arrogance, and nature's revenge on man.
Madness and Revenge: Gendered False Consciousness in the Golden Age Crime Novel
Authors: Walton Samantha 
Published: February 2023

Elaine Showalter has objected to what she sees as a tendency in Cixous's writing to reflect on hysteria as a subversive and even empowering 'act' in the confrontation of patriarchy. To Showalter, the self-destructiveness and further loss of autonomy suffered by female hysterics make it practically and ethically untenable as a form of protest: “[…] hysteria was at best a private, ineffectual response to the frustrations of women's lives. Its immediate gratifications – the sympathy of the family, the attention of the physician – were slight in relation to its costs in powerlessness and silence” (161). Taking this dissonance in feminist thought as our starting point, this essay will examine representations of madness in three golden age mystery novels by female authors – Christianna Brand's Green for Danger (1945), Gladys Mitchell's Laurels Are Poison (1947),and Dorothy L. Sayers' Gaudy Night (1935). In this account, 'madness' will not be taken to have a consistent or scientific meaning. While each text is steeped in Freud, only Brand and Mitchell use psychoanalytic terminology to diagnose their murderess's motivations. Madness can signify irrationality, unconventionality, a delusional state of mind or severe emotional imbalance. Taking these various meanings into account, this paper will assess whether madness is used as a potent metaphor for acts of resistance and negation, and whether it costs female characters in powerlessness and silence. Specifically, this paper will consider acts of revenge carried out by each novel's female antagonist because, like madness, revenge can be considered an empowered, highly insurgent act. While to Showalter madness is always a constrained form of protest, this essay will ask, can the same be said of revenge?
The Sacred Dragon in the Woods: on Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem
Authors: Boll Julia 
Published: February 2023

This article will trace how Jez Butterworht's play Jerusalem (2009) portrays, in Johnny ‘Rooster’ Byron, the figure of what Giorgio Agamben calls the homo sacer, the bare life, as a character that encapsulates both the scapegoat and the monster, and on which the dreams and the fears of the community equally settle (Agamben, passim). His liminal state of being signifies the watershed between accepted and unaccepted, desired and undesired, and ultimately between disenfranchised and free. In this way, the play is revealed as a depiction not only of the state of England, but of how contemporary societies treat their outcasts.

Published: February 2023

OBJECTIVE
Produce prescriptions have shown promise in improving diabetes care, although most studies have used small samples or lacked controls. Our objective was to evaluate the impacts of a produce prescription program on glycemic control for patients with diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Participants included a nonrandom enrollment of 252 patients with diabetes who received a produce prescription and 534 similar control participants from two clinics in Hartford, Connecticut. The start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 coincided with program implementation. Produce prescription enrollees received vouchers ($60 per month) for 6 months to purchase produce at grocery retail. Controls received usual care. The primary outcome was change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) between treatment and control at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included 6-month changes in systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), BMI, hospitalizations, and emergency department admissions. Longitudinal generalized estimating equation models, weighted with propensity score overlap weights, assessed changes in outcomes over time.

RESULTS
At 6 months, there was no significant difference in change in HbA1c between treatment and control groups, with a difference of 0.13 percentage points (95% CI −0.05, 0.32). No significant difference was observed for change in SBP (3.85 mmHg; −0.12, 7.82), DBP (−0.82 mmHg; −2.42, 0.79), or BMI (−0.22 kg/m2; −1.83, 1.38). Incidence rate ratios for hospitalizations and emergency department visits were 0.54 (0.14, 1.95) and 0.53 (0.06, 4.72), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
A 6-month produce prescription program for patients with diabetes, implemented during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not associated with improved glycemic control.

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Objective:</strong> Combined low-risk lifestyle behaviors (LRLBs) have been associated with reduction in type 2 diabetes risk. This relationship has not been systematically quantified. </p>
<p><strong>Research design and methods: </strong>A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association of combined low-risk lifestyle behaviors with type 2 diabetes. Databases was searched up to September 2022. Prospective cohort studies reporting the association between a minimum of 3 combined LRLBs (including healthy diet) with incident type 2 diabetes were included. Independent reviewers extracted data and assessed study quality. Risk estimates of extreme comparisons were pooled using random-effects model. Global dose-response meta-analysis (DRM) for maximum adherence was estimated using one-stage linear mixed model. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using GRADE. </p>
<p><strong>Results: </strong>30 cohort comparisons (n=1,693,753) involving 75,669 incident type 2 diabetes cases were eligible. LRLBs, with author defined ranges, were healthy body weight, healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking abstinence or cessation, and light alcohol consumption. LRLBs were associated with 80% lower risk of type 2 diabetes (relative risk (RR), 0.20 [95% confidence interval, 0.17 to 0.23]), comparing the highest with lowest adherence. Global DRM for maximum adherence to all 5 LRLBs reached 85% protection (RR, 0.15 [95% CI, 0.12 to 0.18]. The overall certainty of the evidence was graded as high.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>There was a very good indication that combination of LRLBs that include maintaining a healthy bodyweight, healthy diet, regular exercise, smoking abstinence or cessation and light alcohol consumption was associated with a lower risk of incident type 2 diabetes. </p>

How to Accelerate R&D and Optimize Experiment Planning with Machine Learning and Data Science
Authors: Pacheco Gutierrez Daniel , Folkmann Linnea M. , Tribukait Hermann , Roch Loïc M. 
Published: February 2023

Accelerating R&D is essential to address some of the challenges humanity is currently facing, such as achieving the global sustainability goals. Today’s Edisonian approach of trial-and-error still prevalent in R&D labs takes up to two decades of fundamental and applied research for new materials to reach the market. Turning around this situation calls for strategies to upgrade R&D and expedite innovation. By conducting smart experiment planning that is data-driven and guided by AI/ML, researchers can more efficiently search through the complex - often constrained - space of possible experiments and find or hit the global optima much faster than with the current approaches. Moreover, with digitized data management, researchers will be able to maximize the utility of their data in the short and long terms with the aid of statistics, ML and visualization tools. In what follows, we describe a framework and lay out the key technologies to accelerate R&D and optimize experiment planning

Increased geopolitical tensions and economic sanctions imposed by the U.S., the European Union, and other countries against Russian sectors of the economy have caused a slowdown of economic growth in Russia and significantly restricted access to international capital markets, creating many problems for coal enterprises due to the rapid growth of competition. Russian and Indonesian coal companies need to adopt coping strategies and implement effective management practices to successfully counter the various global challenges facing the coal sector. The article aims to develop coal enterprise competitiveness management in the context of global challenges in 2022, as exemplified by Russia and Indonesia, considering the main role of these two countries in global coal exports. The management process was empirically assessed, and a comprehensive qualitative focus group session was conducted to achieve this goal. Fifty-five top managers of Russian and Indonesian coal companies participated in the focus group session to collect data for identifying all the factors and indicators to be accounted for in a holistic assessment of the companies’ competitiveness. Suggestions were worked out for the development of coal companies in Russia and Indonesia, regarding current changes, to increase their competitiveness.

False Hadith, Identity, and Contestation of Thought: The Analysis of Hadith on the Division of Muhammad's Ummah in the Historical Dimension
Authors: Miski Miski 
Published: February 2023

This study positioning false hadiths (mawdhû‘) as historical documents and historical data, not just past information, which is considered wrong and must be avoided. The hadith used as the object of study was the Prophet’s words, “All will go to heaven except the al-Zanâdiqa group.” The main issue that we want to explore is what matters behind the hadith’s emergence. Using a historical approach, normative analysis, and historical, this study shows: first, that the hadith is considered a false hadith, both from its sanad and matan aspects. However, the assessment of these two aspects does not co-occur. Second, the diction of “al-Zanâdiqa,” which is interpreted with the al-Qadariyyah sect, appeared in the verbal form before the 4th century AH/10 AD as a form of resistance to the al-Qadariyyah sect. However, since the 4th century AH/10th AD, the hadith has entered into various hadith literature as a form of resistance to the hadith’s existence as a false hadith. Third, in the 6th century AH/12th AD, this hadith became a new discourse, namely as an authentic hadith but without the addition of the diction of “al-Qadariyyah.” In the 10th century AH/16th AD or the 12th century AH/18th AD, and in the 14th century AH/20th AD, it also appeared to the public. This finding also shows that hadith was one of the authoritative tools to corner groups considered the opposite of the mainstream, causing contestation and discourse shift. Kajian ini dimaksudkan untuk memosisikan hadis palsu sebagai dokumen dan data sejarah, tidak sekedar informasi masa lalu yang pasti salah. Hadis yang dijadikan objek kajian adalah hadis yang berbunyi “Semua akan masuk surga kecuali golongan al-Zanâdiqa.” Persoalan utama yang ingin dieksplorasi adalah peristiwa apa yang berada di balik kemunculan hadis tersebut. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah; analisis normatif dan historis, kajian ini menunjukkan: pertama, hadis tersebut dinilai sebagai hadis palsu, baik dari aspek sanad maupun matannya. Meskipun, penilaian terhadap dua aspek ini tidak terjadi secara simultan. Kedua, diksi “al-Zanâdiqa” yang ditafsirkan dengan golongan al-Qadariyyah, muncul dalam bentuk verbal sebelum abad ke 4 H/10 M sebagai bentuk resistansi terhadap golongan al-Qadariyyah. Namun, sejak abad ke 4 H/10 M, hadis tersebut sudah masuk ke dalam berbagai literatur hadis sebagai bentuk resistansi terhadap keberadaan hadis itu sebagai hadis palsu. Ketiga, pada abad ke-6 H/12 M, hadis ini menjadi diskursus baru yakni sebagai hadis sahih namun tanpa tambahan diksi “al-Qadariyyah.” Pada abad ke 10 H/16 M atau abad ke 12 H/18 M juga muncul ke khalayak. Demikian pula pada abad 14 H/20 M kembali muncul–di samping diskursus yang memang sudah eksis sebelumnya. Temuan ini juga menunjukkan, di masa itu, hadis menjadi salah satu alat yang otoritatif untuk menyudutkan golongan yang dinilai berseberangan dengan golongan arus utama; melahirkan kontestasi dan pergeseran diskursus.
