“It Is No Longer in Fashion—More's the Pity”
Authors: Harmon Jenna 
Published: April 2022

AbstractIn a collected edition of his works, Charles Collé declared that “the vaudeville is thoroughly dead,” “killed off” by the latest fad on Parisian stages, the ariette. However, this narrative is in tension with the appearance of vaudevilles across many forms of print media to the end of the eighteenth century. As a result, the print record presents a narrative different from the long-standing trope of the moribund vaudeville in the latter half of the eighteenth century. This article proposes that the story of the vaudeville's demise is actually the effect of a simple but crucial conflation of two distinct song practices, both referred to as “vaudevilles,” and traces this conflation to eighteenth-century musical dictionaries. Finally, it examines extratheatrical vaudevilles in novels, newspapers, and political songbooks, showing that the genre maintained relevancy in spite of narratives to the contrary.Au XVIIIe siècle, Charles Collé a déclaré que « le vaudeville est aujourd'hui totalement tombé », « tué » par le genre musical actuellement à la mode à Paris, l'ariette. Pourtant, cette affirmation est démentie par la présence des vaudevilles dans la culture de l'imprimé pendant la deuxième moitié du XVIIIe, et même les premières années du XIXe siècle. Les sources imprimées nous proposent donc une histoire différente de celle qui décrit un vaudeville moribond au milieu du XVIIIe siècle. Cet article affirme que l'histoire de la mort prématurée du vaudeville est l'effet d'une confusion simple mais cruciale entre deux pratiques chansonnières distinctes, mais également appelées « vaudeville ». Les origines de cette confusion remontent aux dictionnaires musicaux du XVIIIe siècle. Finalement, cet article examine le rôle des vaudevilles extra-théâtraux dans les romans, les journaux, et les chansonniers politiques pour démontrer que le vaudeville a conservé son intérêt malgré les rumeurs de sa mort.
Mobilizing Historicity and Local Color inFernand Cortez(1809)
Authors: Andries Annelies 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis article interrogates why the creators of Napoleonic opera, specifically of Gaspare Spontini's Fernand Cortez (1809), were so eager to publicize their source-based method for representing history. The article frames this eagerness in broader developments toward historical realism in nineteenth-century France and its epistemological claims, namely, that history provides true knowledge about the past. These epistemological claims are foundational to how historians and artists sought to mobilize historicity and local color to champion narratives of empire as founded on the supposedly transhistorical process of civilization. In Fernand Cortez these mobilizations revised eighteenth-century skepticism toward sixteenth-century colonialism into a narrative of imperial success that the government hoped would garner support for Napoléon's Spanish campaign. Ultimately, the emphasis on historicist detail undermined the opera's specific propagandistic message, but it did provide a model that popularized and disseminated general ideologies about empire and civilization beyond France's intellectual circles.Pourquoi les créateurs d'opéras napoléoniens étaient-ils si zélés de souligner que leur méthode de représenter l'histoire s'appuyait sur des sources de référence ? L'analyse de Fernand Cortez de Gaspare Spontini (1809) montre que ce désir s'est développé dans le cadre d'une épistémologie du « réalisme historique » qui promet une véritable connaissance du passé. Cette confiance épistémologique a poussé les historiens et les artistes à mobiliser l’ « historicité » et la « couleur locale » pour propager des récits d'empire fondés sur le processus de civilisation. Dans Cortez, ces techniques visaient à transformer le scepticisme des philosophes vis-à-vis le colonialisme du XVIe siècle en un récit de succès, en vue de susciter l'enthousiasme pour la guerre napoléonienne contre l'Espagne. Bien que ces détails historisants aient brouillé le message propagandiste de Cortez, cet opéra a réussi à fournir un modèle qui sert à vulgariser et diffuser des idéologies d'empire et de civilisation au-delà du monde savant.
Napoleonic Commemoration on the Operatic Stage
Authors: Hallman Diana R. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The retour des cendres, the commemorative return of Napoleon's remains in 1840, represented an important gesture of Napoleonic restoration in the July Monarchy, along with the creation of monuments, paintings, histories, plays, and encomiums to the defeated emperor. The monarchy's commemoration expanded to the stage of the Paris Opéra in 1841 with the appearance of La reine de Chypre, the five-act grand opera by Fromental Halévy and Henri de Saint-Georges, which reverberated with sonic, visual, literary, and political allusions to the Napoleonic legend and overt references to the ceremonial return of the emperor's ashes, including its use of the grandes trompettes from Napoléon's cortege and Invalides service. In its historical reframing of Catarina Cornaro's early fifteenth-century rise to power in Cyprus and defiance of Venetian tyranny, the nostalgic portrayal of exiled French chevaliers, particularly the dying king Lusignan, evoked France's fallen hero as it joined in the dynamic reshaping of imperial memory.
Le retour des cendres, le rapatriement commémoratif de la dépouille de Napoléon en 1840, faisait partie d'un ensemble de gestes de restauration napoléonienne pendant la monarchie de Juillet : monuments, peintures, œuvres d'histoire, pièces de théâtre et panégyriques à l'empereur vaincu. La commémoration du règne impérial par la monarchie atteint la scène de l'Opéra de Paris en 1841, avec le début de La reine de Chypre, le grand opéra en cinq actes de Fromental Halévy et Henri de Saint-Georges. L'opéra fait résonner des allusions sonores, visuelles, littéraires et politiques à la légende napoléonienne et des références manifestes au retour des cendres, y compris l'utilisation des grandes trompettes du cortège de Napoléon et de la cérémonie d'inhumation aux Invalides. Dans son remodelage historique de la montée au pouvoir en Chypre de Catarina Cornaro au début du XVe siècle et de son mépris de la tyrannie vénitienne, le portrait nostalgique des chevaliers français exilés, en particulier le roi mourant Lusignan, évoque le héros déchu de la France tout en renouvelant la mémoire impériale.

Abstract
(E)-α-Methyl-α,β-unsaturated esters were prepared by the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, which stirs a mixture of aldehyde, phosphonate reagent 1, and a base without solvent. The reaction of aromatic aldehydes and triethyl 2-phosphonopropionate 1a using LiOH·H2O gave 95–99% E-selectivity in 83–97% yield. The reaction of 1a with aliphatic aldehydes gave 92–94% E-selectivity except for α-branched aldehydes, and the selectivity was improved to 97–98% using ethyl 2-(diisopropylphosphono)propionate 1b. The reaction with α-branched aliphatic aldehydes was improved using triisopropyl 2-phosphonopropionate 1c and Ba(OH)2·8H2O to give 98–&gt;99% E-selectivity and high yields. The HWE reaction using Ba(OH)2·8H2O in THF also gave (E)-α-methyl-α,β-unsaturated esters highly selectively in high yields.

Published: April 2022

Background: With the advancement of communication technology and advanced sensors, there are massive demands for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications in buildings, communities, factories, parks, etc. Accessing IoT devices provides convenience for scene management and monitoring, ameliorating production and life intelligently. However, due to the lack of a unified model for IoT devices, data is often skipped over IoT platforms and transmitted to applications directly. This leads to the fact that each manufacturer needs to produce its devices and develop its customized software, which hugely increases the development cycle. On the other hand, it is difficult to convey information between different systems, limiting cross- system control. Moreover, digital twin relies on large amounts of heterogeneous data, and it is impracticable to provide enough data without a unified model for device description. Methods: First, we illustrate the motivation, design goals, and design principles for creating the Internet-of-Things Object Model (IoT-OM). Then we propose a unified description to define IoT devices. The proposed concept has been accepted by several companies, and we analyse one platform that adopts the model. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the model, we introduce two projects based on the platform. One project is an intelligent fire protection system, and another project is an intelligent air quality monitoring system. Results: We measured the time taken by five companies when developing IoT devices and their applications, including the development cycle duration without utilizing the proposed model and the duration using the model at China Mobile’s OneNET platform. The results prove that the proposed model can significantly shorten the development cycle. Conclusions: This paper proposes a model for IoT devices, which helps to unify heterogeneous data among different manufacturers and helps to shorten the development cycles for developers.
Role of metalinguistic awareness intraining for reading: a quasi-experimental study with Saudi EFL learners
Authors: Almarshedi Raniyah Mohammad 
Published: April 2022

Background Metalinguistic awareness plays an important role in developing foreign learners' repertoire in the underlying system of the target language. Therefore, this study addresses the research gap in the Saudi context regarding the role of metalinguistic awareness in teaching reading comprehension. Moreover, it also verifies the level of application ofmetalinguistic strategies in the English as a first language (EFL) classroom. Methods The study employs a quasi-experimental research design with 70 EFL Saudi learners at Hail University as the participants. The duration of the experiment was twelve weeks and results are compared between control and experimental groups who were tested for homogeneity by administering the TOEFL reading comprehension test. The impact of metalinguistic awareness in developing Saudi learners' reading comprehension skills was verified by administering a questionnaire to the participants. Results The findings of the study show that the reading abilities of both groups of learners developed, but the development in the experimental group was significant. Planning was not enhanced in either the experimental or control group, monitoring and assessment were enhanced only in the experimental group. Conclusions Consequent to the findings the study recommends that EFL instructors directly train their students on metacognitive strategies to improve their reading comprehension.

Background: Infants suffering from lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) have distinct nasopharyngeal (NP) microbiome profiles that correlate with severity of disease. Whether these profiles precede the infection or a consequence of it, is unknown. In order to answer this question, longitudinal studies are needed. Methods: We conducted an analysis of a longitudinal prospective cohort study of 1,981 Zambian mother-infant pairs who underwent NP sampling from 1-week through 14-weeks of age at 2-3-week intervals. Ten of the infants in the cohort who developed LRTI were matched 1:3 with healthy comparators. We completed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on the samples each of these infants contributed, as well as from baseline samples of the infants’ mothers, and characterized the normal maturation of the healthy infant NP microbiome, compared to infants who developed LRTI. Results: The infant NP microbiome maturation was characterized by transitioning from Staphylococcus dominant to respiratory-genera dominant profiles during the first three months of life, similar to what is described in the literature. Interestingly, infants who developed LRTI had NP dysbiosis before infection, in most cases as early as the first week of life. Dysbiosis was characterized by the presence of Novosphingobium, Delftia, high relative abundance of Anaerobacillus, Bacillus, and low relative abundance of Dolosigranulum, compared to the healthy controls. Mothers of infants with LRTI also had low relative abundance of Dolosigranulum in their baseline samples compared to mothers of infants that did not develop an LRTI. Conclusions: Our results suggest that NP microbiome dysbiosis precedes LRTI in young infants and may be present in their mothers as well. Early dysbiosis may play a role in the causal pathway leading to LRTI or could be a marker of other pathogenic forces that directly lead to LRTI.
On sequence spaces defined by a sequence of moduli and an extension of Kuttner’s theorem
Authors: Soomer Virge 
Published: April 2022

Let A = (ank) be an infinite matrix with limn∑kank ≠ 0, and let p=(pk) be a sequence of positive real numbers. If 1≤pk<H<∞, then the strong A-summability field (with the exponent p) is included in the summability field of A. But the result known as Kuttner’s theorem asserts that if 0<pk=˜p<1 and A is regular, then there is a sequence which is strongly (C,1)-summable but which is not A-summable. This result was extended by Thorpe (cf. Theorem 6) and Maddox (cf. [8] and [9]). The purpose of the present paper is to extend the results of Thorpe and Maddox to a lacunary strong summability with respect to a sequence of modulus functions.
Indecomposable Banach spaces
Authors: Werner Dirk 
Published: April 2022

This paper aims at describing Tim Gowers' contributions to Banach space theory that earned him the Fields medal in 1998. In particular, the construction of the Gowers-Maurey space, a Banach space not containing an unconditional basic sequence, is sketched as is the Gowers dichotomy theorem that led to the solution of the homogeneous Banach space problem. Moreover, Gowers' counterexamples to the hyperplane problem and the Schröder-Bernstein problem are discussed.
The paper is an extended version of a talk given at Freie Universität Berlin in December 1999; hence the reference to the next millennium at the very end actually appeals to the present millennium. It should be accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of functional analysis and of German.
Approximate design-based variance of functions of covariance matrix
Authors: Traat Imbi 
Published: April 2022

Functions of a design-weighted estimator ^ S of the finite population covariance matrix are considered. For these functions (determinant, Hotelling’s T2) the approximate (Taylor series based) variances are derived. For ^ S also the exact dispersion matrix is derived. These are generalizations of earlier results for independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) variables. A simulation study supports the derived formulae.

Published: April 2022

We consider the estimation of the parametric function X1β1 under the partitioned linear fixed effects model y=X1β1+X2β2+ε and the linear mixed effects model y=X1β1+X2γ2+ε, where γ2 is considered to be a random vector. Particularly, we consider when the best linear unbiased estimator, BLUE, of X1β1 under the linear fixed effects model equals the corresponding BLUE under the linear mixed effects model.
Research of changes in the level of endothelin-1 in experimental diabetic retinopathy. comparison of methods of correction
Authors: Sirman Y. , Preis N. , Savytskyi I. 
Published: April 2022

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) according to the WHO is the main cause of decreased vision and blindness due to diabetes.
The aim of the study: to compare the effectiveness of correction of vasoconstriction in experimental diabetic retinopathy under the influence of different methods of correction.
Our results indicate a violation of the functional state of blood vessels on the 30th day of experimental diabetic retinopathy with subsequent progression of pathological changes on the 60th and 180th day of the study, as evidenced by a significant increase in endothelin-1 in the 2nd group (p <0.001), most pronounced in the 3rd stage.In the analysis of data of group №3 it was found that the correction of pathological conditions with hypoglycemic agents has a positive effect, but does not allow to significantly correct pathologically increased levels of endothelin-1, which indicates the need for additional correction tools other than hyperglycemia.The results of group 4 indicate that the involvement of a donor of nitric oxide and aflibercept in the correction of diabetic retinopathy corrects the level of the studied marker, the most pronounced effect is observed on the 180th day of the experiment, but normative values can not be achieved. It was found that in the 5th group, in which the correction of the simulated pathological condition was performed by reducing hyperglycemia, the introduction of aflibercept and bromfenac gives positive results, but less pronounced than in the 4th group, where L-arginine solution was added to the complex correction. .It was found that rats of group 6, which simulated diabetic retinopathy with subsequent correction of hyperglycemia, administration of aflibercept, L-carnitine and bromfenac have a pronounced effectiveness of the proposed method of correction compared to previous methods, the level of vasoconstriction stage and continues to recover in the following stages of the experiment, but does not reach the normative values. The obtained data suggest that the method of correction selected in group 7, which includes reduction of hyperglycemia, administration of aflibercept, solution of L-arginine and citicoline is most effective for normalizing vascular tone and structural and functional state of the endothelium.
Optic nerve neuropathies – causative factors, methods of diagnostics, current and future possibilities of treatment
Authors: Kobak Joanna , Tyczyńska Magdalena , Forma Alicja , Dudek Iga , Maani Amr , Zembala Patryk , Baj Jacek 
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Optic neuropathies are a broad group of diseases in which the dominant disturbance is damage to the optic nerve, often irreversible. Underlying causes of neuropathy are both genetic and environmental. Despite limited treatment options, much research is currently being done on substances that could improve optic nerve function and alleviate the clinical consequences of optic nerve damage.
Purpose: This article describes current findings in both the optic nerve neuropathy pathophysiology and diagnosis of the disorder, as well as treatment options and future perspectives.
State of knowledge: The pathogenetic cause of neuropathy is mainly demyelination within the neural sheath, often caused by inflammation. It is characterized by progressive loss of vision. The most common genetic cause of optic neuropathy is mitochondrially inherited Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and is characterized by mostly sudden and painless loss of visual acuity. Toxic neuropathies are a group of diseases caused by heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, methanol and carbon monoxide. Nutritional neuropathy is mainly related to vitamin B1, B9 and B12 deficiency, and is a rare example of neuropathy that can be curable at the early stage of the disease. Another group of neuropathies is caused by ischemia and can be divided according to the place of the optic nerve affected – AION (anterior ischemic optic neuropathy) and PION (posterior ischemic optic neuropathy).
Conclusions: The therapeutic options in the treatment of optic neuropathy strictly depend on the causative factor. Nutritional deficiencies are treated with appropriate supplementation, so it is vital to truly determine the missing vitamins and elements.
