A Re-education on How to Work: Vocational Programs in Kingston-Area Prisons, 1950–1965
Authors: McNeill Katie-Marie 
Published: June 2022

The Prison for Women, Kingston Penitentiary, and Collins Bay Penitentiary each offered an increasing variety of vocational training opportunities to incarcerated people in the mid-20th century. This article examines vocational training in these Kingston-area prisons from 1950 to the mid-1960s and argues that access to these programs was based largely on gender and age. Foucault’s idea of governmentality supports analysis of how the Penitentiary Service of Canada, reformers, and prisoners understood the process of learning how to work. Women incarcerated at the Prison for Women were trained in fields that mirrored domestic labour, and limited numbers of younger women were given access to trial vocational training in women-dominated fields such as hairdressing. Young men in their teens and twenties incarcerated at Collins Bay Penitentiary were given access to skilled trades, while older men at Kingston Penitentiary could try to qualify for transfer to Collins Bay Penitentiary by taking basic educational course upgrades. These vocational programs were supported by the John Howard Society of Ontario and the Elizabeth Fry Society of Kingston, local prisoner aid societies that helped formerly incarcerated people find jobs and coordinated with prison administration to bolster rehabilitation programs.
La Prison des femmes, le Pénitencier de Kingston et le Pénitencier de Collins Bay offraient chacun une variété croissante de possibilités de formation professionnelle aux personnes incarcérées au milieu du 20e siècle. Cet article examine la formation professionnelle dans ces prisons dans la région de Kingston de 1950 au milieu des années 1960 et soutient que l’accès à ces programmes était largement basé sur le sexe et l’âge. L’idée de gouvernementalité de Foucault soutient l’analyse de la façon dont le Service des Pénitenciers du Canada, les réformateurs et les prisonniers ont compris le processus d’apprentissage du travail. Les femmes incarcérées à la Prison des femmes ont été formées dans des domaines qui reflétaient le travail domestique, et un nombre limité de jeunes femmes ont eu accès à une formation professionnelle à l’essai dans des domaines à prédominance féminine comme la coiffure. Les jeunes hommes dans l’adolescence et la vingtaine incarcérés au Pénitencier de Collins Bay ont eu accès à des métiers spécialisés, tandis que les hommes plus âgés du Pénitencier de Kingston pouvaient essayer de se qualifier pour être transférés au Pénitencier de Collins Bay en suivant des cours de formation de base. Ces programmes professionnels ont été soutenus par la Société John Howard de l’Ontario et la Société Elizabeth Fry de Kingston, des sociétés locales d’aide aux prisonniers qui ont aidé les anciens incarcérés à trouver un emploi et ont cordonné avec l’administration pénitentiaire pour renforcer les programmes de réadaptation.
A New Approach for Pricing Based on Passengers’ Satisfaction

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The growth of the rail transportation industry depends on providing adequate quality of service with reasonable pricing. Toward providing effective pricing strategies, one must find a measure to assess the effectiveness of ticket pricing. Despite the importance that pricing can have on the performance of businesses, it is mostly addressed based on managers’ own experiences. Moreover, data envelopment units employed for pricing are limited to showing the relationship between increasing service quality and increasing efficiency. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate ticket pricing from the perspective of passengers on one of the busiest rail routes, based on data envelopment analysis. First, train evaluation criteria are extracted by studying the literature. Then, the most influential criteria are identified based on the opinions of experts in rail transportation. The desirability and satisfaction level of each criterion are acquired for fifteen types of passenger trains. Finally, the ticket pricing efficiency is calculated based on the ratio between the train ticket prices and the quality of their services. The results show that out of fifteen examined trains, ten trains are inefficient in terms of pricing. To revise pricing, three decreasing, increasing and medial policies are introduced and illustrated in detail. All three policies are applied and the results are compared. Finally, it is investigated to verify in what environmental conditions each pricing policy can be more effective.

Comparar en antropología: esbozo de un mapa
Authors: Gaztañaga Julieta , Koberwein Adrián 
Published: June 2022

En el presente artículo reflexionamos sobre los alcances y límites de la comparación en antropología social y cultural. El objetivo es aportar a los debates sobre el estatus epistemológico y analítico de la comparación en la producción de conocimiento sobre la vida social y cultural. Para ello, nos centramos, específicamente, en el problema de la comparación en antropología desde su constitución, si bien también consideramos algunas ideas que, desde la historiografía, la sociología y las ciencias políticas, han sido recibidas con entusiasmo por esta disciplina. A lo largo de un recorrido por las variantes más destacadas que asumió la comparación en antropología desde el siglo XIX hasta nuestros días, y en un intento de exponer así la riqueza teórica, epistemológica y metodológica, proponemos una praxis alternativa a los métodos considerados como objetivos que exigen la determinación precisa de la conmensurabilidad al momento de comparar. Afirmamos que tales concepciones del método comparativo solo son posibles al costo de abstracciones, reducciones y reificaciones que nos alejan de los procesos que animan la vida social y que son, en definitiva, el objeto de reflexión de las ciencias sociales en general y de la antropología en particular. En síntesis, si un método nos empuja a hacer caso omiso de lo real, más vale no darle tanta importancia, sino solo la que realmente merece: la de ser una opción entre muchas otras.

Self-Respect and Self-Segregation
Authors: Basevich Elvira ,   Department of Philosophy, Florida State University
Published: June 2022

In this article, I develop W. E. B. Du Bois’s concept of double consciousness to demonstrate the limitations of Kant’s and Rawls’s models of self-respect. I argue that neither Kant nor Rawls can explain what self-respect and resistance to oppression warrants under the conditions of violent and systematic racial exclusion. I defend Du Bois’s proposal of voluntary black self-segregation during the Jim Crow era and explain why Du Bois believes that the black American community has a moral right to assert its self-respect by mitigating its exposure to racial violence and animus in a white-controlled polity.
Strategy, advanced manufacturing technology and performance: empirical evidence from U.S. manufacturing firms
Authors: Kotha Suresh , Swamidass Paul M 
Published: July 2002

AbstractThis study investigates the complex relationships among strategy, advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) and performance using survey responses from 160 U.S. manufacturing firms. In contrast to previous studies that emphasize only the flexibility dimension of AMT, this study adopts a multidimensional view of AMT by stressing the information processing capability inherent in AMTs. The study found support for four dimensions of AMT: information exchange and planning technology (IEPT), product design technology (PDT), low‐volume flexible automation technology (LVFAT), and high‐volume automation technology (HVAT). The results found also indicate empirical support for the study's major premise that a fit between certain strategy–AMT dimensions will be associated with superior performance. Using the findings, the study discusses the implications of the findings and suggests several avenues for future research.

AbstractImproved, human‐based packaging cell lines allow the production of high‐titer, RCR‐free retroviral vectors. The utility of these cell lines for the production of clinical grade vectors critically depends on the definition of optimal conditions for scaled‐up cultures. In this work, a clone derived from the TE Fly GALV packaging cell (Duisit et al. Hum. Gene Ther. 1999, 10, 189) that produces high titers of a lacZ containing retroviral vector with a Gibbon Ape Leukemia Virus envelope glycoprotein was used. This clone can produce (2−5) × 106 PFU cm−3 in small scale cultures and has been evaluated for growth and vector production in different reactor systems. The performances of fixed bed reactors [CellCube (Costar) and Celligen (New Brunswick)] and stirred tank reactors [microcarriers and clump cultures] were compared. The cells showed a higher apparent growth rate in the fixed bed reactor systems than in the suspension systems, probably as a result of the fact that aggregation and/or formation of clumps led to a reduced viability and reduced growth of cells in the interior of the clumps. As a consequence, the final cell density and number were in average 3‐ to 7‐fold higher in the fixed bed systems in comparison to the suspension culture systems. The average titers obtained ranged from 0.5 to 2.1 × 107 PFU cm−3 for the fixed bed and microcarrier systems, while the clump cultures produced only (2−5) × 105 PFU cm−3. The differences in titers reflect cell densities as well as specific viral vector production rates, with the immobilization and microcarrier systems exhibiting an at least 10‐fold higher production rate in comparison to the clump cultures. A partial optimization of the culture conditions in the Celligen fixed bed reactor, consisting of a 9‐fold reduction of the seeding cell density, led to a 5‐fold increased vector production rate accompanied by an average titer of 3 × 107 PFU cm−3 (maximum titer (4−5) × 107 PFU cm−3) in the fixed bed reactor. The performance evaluation results using mathematical models indicated that the fixed bed bioreactor has a higher potential for retroviral vector production because of both the higher reactor productivity and the lower sensitivity of productivity in relation to the changes in final retrovirus titer in the range of 3 × 106 to 15 × 106 PFU cm−3.

Published: July 2002

Background: Cytotoxin‐associated gene A (cagA) has been implicated as a potential pathogenic marker for Helicobacter pylori‐induced severe gastroduodenal diseases. Although the prevalence of cagA‐positive strains has been reported in patient populations from developed countries, only limited information from developing countries is available. Methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in combination with immunoblot analysis was used to determine the prevalence of cagA and its adjacent cagE genes and to evaluate the expression of CagA protein in 55 H. pylori clinical isolates from China. Results: The expected PCR products derived from H. pylori cagA and cagE genes were identified in all Chinese H. pylori clinical isolates. Similarly, the CagA protein was detected in all 40 isolates tested. Conclusions: These results demonstrated that the presence of the cagA gene correlated well with expression of the CagA protein in all surveyed Chinese H. pylori isolates and that infection with cagA‐positive H. pylori strains is highly common in China and independent of clinical presentation.
Desmopressin for the treatment of nocturnal polyuria in the elderly: a dose titration study
Authors: Asplund  , Sundberg  , Bengtsson  
Published: July 2002

Objective To evaluate the decrease in nocturnal polyuria and the tolerability of three different doses of oral desmopressin in elderly subjects.Subjects and methods Subjects were included in the study if they; (i) were healthy and free from medication with possible influence on their diuresis or voiding pattern; (ii) had an increased nocturnal frequency (≥2 nocturnal voids, as reported in the pre‐screening period); and (iii) had a nocturnal urinary output of ≥0.9 mL/min. Seventeen men and six women (mean age 68.1, sd 4.7 years) met these criteria and were treated with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg oral desmopressin given at bedtime, each dose taken for one week on three consecutive weeks.Results The mean (sd) nocturnal diuresis before treatment was 1.6 (0.7) mL/min, which decreased significantly to 1.1 (0.4) mL/min when 0.1 mg desmopressin was given. A dose of 0.2 mg desmopressin resulted in a further small decrease in the nocturnal diuresis to 0.9 (0.4) mL/min, whereas the 0.4 mg dose produced no additional effect. The reduction in nocturnal diuresis occurred almost exclusively in the group with a nocturnal urinary output of ≥1.3 mL/min. After treatment, diuresis returned to pretreatment levels. There was no change in body weight or in ankle circumference during desmopressin treatment and no serious adverse effects were observed.Conclusion Desmopressin reduces nocturnal diuresis in polyuric elderly subjects and this reduction, occurring with doses of 0.1 mg given at bedtime, does not increase in a dose‐dependent way.

Theory of induced spatial incoherence
Authors: Lehmberg R. H. , Schmitt A. J. , Bodner S. E. 
Published: July 2002

This paper describes theoretical and experimental investigations of induced spatial incoherence (ISI), a technique for achieving the smooth and controllable target beam profiles required for direct-drive laser fusion. In conventional ISI, a broadband laser beam (coherence time tc=1/Δν≪tpulse) is sliced into an array of mutually incoherent beamlets by echelon structures that impose successive time delay increments Δt&gt;tc. A focusing lens then overlaps those beamlets onto the target, which is usually located at the far field. Here, we evaluate the ideal target beam profiles for practical ISI focusing configurations, and examine the perturbing effects of transient interference, laser aberration, and plasma filamentation. Analytic and numerical calculations show that nonuniformities due to interference among the beamlets are smoothed by both thermal diffusion and temporal averaging. Under laser-plasma conditions of interest to inertial confinement fusion (ICF), average ablation pressure nonuniformities ∼1% should be readily attainable. We also investigate a partial ISI scheme, which allows widely spaced beamlets to remain mutually coherent; the resulting high spatial frequency interference structure can be effectively smoothed by thermal diffusion alone. A perturbation analysis shows that the average target profile 〈I(x)〉 remains relatively insensitive to laser beam aberration when the scale length of that aberration is larger than the initial beamlet width. This aberration will tend to broaden and smooth 〈I(x)〉, rather than introduce any small-scale structure. The broadening is largely controllable because it depends only upon spatial averages
of the aberrated quantities over the entire laser aperture; the uncontrollable perturbations can be reduced to ∼1% in practical cases. Filamentation in the underdense plasma has been studied numerically using a 2D propagation/hydro code selfoct, which includes both ponderomotive and thermal effects. For 0.25-μm light, this code predicts that ISI should suppress filamentation in plasmas of interest to ICF. We review recent planar target experiments carried out at the Naval Research Laboratory using 1.054- and 0.527-μm light, which show that the combination of ISI and shorter wavelength substantially reduces all evidence of plasma instabilities. Finally, we review a promising alternative technique for achieving ISI in KrF lasers without using echelons.
