Representations of African American Quiltmaking: From Omission to High Art
Authors: Klassen Teri 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
African American quiltmaking began to gain recognition as an expressive form distinct from European American quiltmaking in the countercultural climate of the 1970s. Representations of it since then have served to update the Eurocentric, patriotic image of quiltmaking in the United States with components ofmulticulturalism and cultural critique. These representations in turn caused tensions along the lines of class, race, gender, and scholarly discipline. This study shows the power of words and things when used together, as in museum exhibits, to affirm or challenge the existing social order.
Aztec Dance, Transnational Movements: Conquest of a Different Sort
Authors: Garner Sandra 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article explores the rapid growth of participation in Aztec dance in Mexico, the increasing transnational movement of Aztec dancers across national borders, and the mixed receptions experienced by dancers in their efforts to forge networks with indigenous communities on a global level Examining a discourse of conquest that has been reinvigorated and recirculated over centuries, I suggest that such ideas may thwart Aztec dancers’ alliance-building efforts and may raise important questions about indigenous identity, appropriation, and group boundaries.
Embracing Difference: Salsa Fever in New Jersey
Authors: Borland Katherine 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Studio-based salsa dance in Northern New Jersey has succeeded in creating an ethnically diverse social space in which Latin style represents both a specific ethnicity and an alternative pan-ethnic identity that encompasses and embraces difference. The wide appeal of the dance y however, rests in its dramatic and provocative display of gendered interactions. Attention to dancers’ subjective understandings of their own practice provides a female-centered perspective on the emerging cultural scene.
Visiting the Six Worlds: Shamanistic Journeys in Canadian Mi’kmaq Cosmology
Authors: Hornborg Anne-Christine 
Published: December 2022

AbstractMi’kmaq Indians’ descriptions of journeys between worlds, as we find them in tales collected from the early seventeenth century to the early twentieth, are far too complex to fit into Mircea Eliade’s model of shamanism or romantic images of Indians as being "at one with nature." The tales reveal six parallel worlds in which all types of beings belong to families, have wigwams, and search for food. The parallelism between worlds has no significance for beings living their ordinary lives, but it is of the utmost importance for understanding how differing types of beings in the stories (people, animals, supernaturals) achieve interworld journeys. The notions of cosmological deixis and perspectivism are used to explore the narratives and shed light on Mi’kmaq cosmology.
Healing at the Coast of Death in Spanish Galicia: TheRomeríato Our Lady’s Boat
Authors: Valentine Eugene , Valentine Kristin Bervig 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis note explores a romeria (a pilgrimage to a local site) on the Costa da Morte (the Coast of Death) at Muxía, a small village in the autonomous region of Galicia, in Spain, where thousands of faithful romeros gather every September. As Roman Catholics, many are there simply to enjoy a socioreligious outing on the wind-swept rocky promontory that tips into the Atlantic Ocean, but most are there to participate in activities they believe will heal their bodies and souls-activities that involve their contacting a sacred image of the Virgin, leaving votive offerings in the form of wax simulacra (ex-votos) at the sanctuary church, attending an outdoor Mass, or climbing around and under several huge stones that lie between the sea and a nearby sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin. Oral tradition considers these stones to be the sail, tiller, and overturned hull of the boat Mary used when she sailed to Spain to console the Apostle James, who had become discouraged in his missionary activities. Muxía is one of Galicia’s most popular pilgrimage sites, venerated especially by sailors and those suffering from renal illnesses or in general need of succor from the shrine’s holy protector.
Food Choice, Symbolism, and Identity: Bread-and-Butter Issues for Folkloristics and Nutrition Studies (American Folklore Society Presidential Address, October 2005)
Authors: Jones Michael Owen 
Published: December 2022

AbstractResearch on food abounds, from the history of differing types of fare to the relationship between provisioning and culture, gender roles, and eating disorders. In disciplines concerned with health and nutrition, few studies focus on the metaphorical aspects of alimentation; while many ethnographic works do deal with the symbolic nature of gastronomy, they tend to emphasize eating as commensality and food as an expression of identity in ethnic, regional, and religious groups. Symbolic discourse involving cuisine is pervasive and complex, however, manifesting itself in a wide variety of contexts and exhibiting multiple meanings that may be ambiguous, conflicting, or pernicious. Understanding how messages are conveyed through culinary behavior requires an examination not only of victuals but also of the preparation, service, and consumption of food-for all are grist for the mill of symbolization. Here, I bring together a number of ideas about the iconic nature of cooking and eating: what is fodder for symbol creation, how and why meanings are generated, and what some of the effects of food-related representations are. I also problematize identity as it relates to food. My goal is to suggest directions for future research on foodways as well as applications in fields concerned with nutrition education, counseling, and dietary change.
"Celebrating Arabs": Tracing Legend and Rumor Labyrinths in Post-9/11 Detroit
Authors: Langlois Janet L. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis article examines one instance of a widely spread rumor (incipient legend) circulated via e-mail in northwest Detroit that Arab employees at a Middle Eastern restaurant cheered when they saw television footage of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. It argues that rumor and legend scholars, especially those examining alternative communication paths including Internet transmission, should work to retain the complexity of performance-oriented studies in their comparative analyses. It takes "the middle road" in building a case for examining, whenever possible, the complex intertwining of localized and globalized "folkloric space"for readings that are richly textured and evocative of a variety of social conditions.
Inventing the "Found" Object: Artifactuality, Folk History, and the Rise of Capitalist Ethnography in 1930s America
Authors: Miller James S. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAs numerous scholars have chronicled, the decade of the 1930s in America witnessed an explosion ofpopular interest in the presumptions and protocols of cultural ethnography. The Depression years were a time when such academic-sociological studies as Constance Rourke’s American Humor, Zora Neal Hurston’s Mules and Men, Ruth Benedict’s Patterns of Culture, and Howard Odum’s various studies of rural Appalachia became virtual bestsellers in their own right-each animated by what might be called an indexical-excavatory enthusiasm for unearthing, itemizing, and exhibiting the vestiges (both material and human) of America’s putatively "vanishing" past. This article sets out to assess the cultural and ideological work this wide-ranging impulse performed, probing the ways that mainstream or popular ethnography in the 1930s (despite its often explicit interest in critiquing or challenging commercial modernity) came to underwrite a particular and highly over-determined narrative of corporate-capitalist "progress." To accomplish this, I examine three discrete yet exemplary ethnographic texts: Dorothea Lange’s An American Exodus, John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, and James Agee and Walker Evans’s Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Documenting places and people feared to be most immediately threatened by industrial-commercial development, I argue that these writers ultimately depicted America’s socioeconomic fringes not as the repository of a redemptive "folk" culture, but as the site and source of commercial capitalism’s own heroic and authentic "roots." Behind their interest in excavating and documenting the artifacts of a bygone age was a more formative desire to invent a model of the vernacular past that could somehow imbue capitalism’s rationalized and articulated operations with a tangible sense of historicity, a palpable and authenticating texture of "pastness."
Representing Trauma: Political Asylum Narrative
Authors: Shumam Amy , Bohmer Carol 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe trauma narratives told by refugees in their appeal for asylum status in the United States are culturally constructed, based not only on local cultural discourses for talking about grief, tragedy, struggle, and displacement, but also on the legal and bureaucratic cultures of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (B.C.I.S.). On the basis of interviews with asylum seekers and with immigration lawyers and B.C.I.S. officials, we discuss the cultural obstacles of the asylum application process.
"They Will Come from the Other Side of the Sea": Prophecy, Ethnogenesis, and Agency in Yaqui Narrative
Authors: Erickson Kirstin C. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractFor Mexico’s Yaqui Indians, ethnic identity is both represented and renegotiated in narrative moments. In this article, I examine the process of narrative self-fashioning through the lens of the "Talking Tree," a story that portrays Yaqui ethnogenesis as a reaction to a prophecy of Spanish conquest. I contend that this narrative accords the Yaquis a level of agency that ordinary histories do not, refiguring them as informed actors in the determination of their own destiny.
Stress Hyperglycemia Drives the Risk of Hospitalization for Chest Pain in Patients With Ischemia and Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA)

OBJECTIVE
Ischemia with nonobstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is a prevailing finding in patients with angina. However, the main factors underlying the risk of being rehospitalized for chest pain in patients with INOCA remain mostly unknown.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We evaluated INOCA patients referred to the “Casa di Cura Montevergine” in Mercogliano (Avellino), Italy, from January 2016 to January 2021 for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In these subjects, we assessed the impact of the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), defined as the ratio of mmol/L blood glucose and % HbA1c, on the risk of rehospitalization for chest pain.

RESULTS
A total of 2,874 patients with INOCA successfully completed the study. At the 1-year follow-up, the risk of rehospitalization for chest pain was significantly higher (P &lt; 0.001) in INOCA patients with SHR &gt;1 compared to patients with SHR ≤1. These findings were confirmed by multivariable analyses (adjusting for potential confounders, including age, BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, chronic kidney disease, and cholesterol), propensity score matching, and inverse probability of treatment weighting.

CONCLUSIONS
Our data indicate, to our knowledge for the first time, that SHR on hospital admission significantly and independently increases the risk of rehospitalization for chest pain in INOCA patients.
A study on the reform of college English education inspired by the cultural differences between China and the United States
Authors: Huang Cheng 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Cultural education is the concept of college English culture teaching, and college English teaching is an effective way to implement the concept of cultural education. At present, there are still many problems in college English teaching, such as the lack of cultural education, single teaching objectives, lack of teaching strategies and imperfect evaluation system. In view of these problems, this article puts forward the research on the reform of college English education inspired by the cultural differences between China and the United States. First, this study was carried out to understand the differences between Chinese and American cultures and clarify the current situation of college English education. Then, the matrix-valued factor model is constructed to identify the feature vector of cultural differences, decompose the features of cultural differences, obtain the feature vector corresponding to the maximum feature value and predict the covariance matrix. The model effectively reduces the matrix dimension, greatly reduces the number of expected parameters, effectively prevents the accumulation of estimation errors and further clarifies the dependence between covariance matrix elements through coefficient analysis. Finally, the VaR identification model can predict the development trend of college English education reform. The experimental results show that this method can effectively improve college students’ English performance and teachers’ teaching quality and has wide applicability.
State of the Art of Presentation of Clothing Textiles in E-Commerce with Size Matching Issues
Authors: Wojciechowski Jarosław , Lisowska Renata , Skrzetuska Ewa 
Published: December 2022

Abstract“According to Lingaro’s analysis, the return of a product generates 5 times more CO2than the purchase itself. Thus, the optimization of online e-commerce purchasing processes is a serious challenge not only for business, but mainly for the protection of the environment and our global health.” Presentation of textiles and clothing in e-commerce in Poland has remained unchanged since the beginning of e-commerce (the setup of Allegro auction site in the early 2000s) until now with little exceptions of new technology trends powered by EU funds. In Poland, WearFits introduces an R&D solution in the form of a virtual fitting room presented in augmented reality (AR) view to decrease returns of textile clothing bought online. It uses an avatar of human size and shape of the customer’s body for fitting the three-dimensional models in AR view. The purpose of the article is to review the state of the art of presentation of clothing textiles in e-commerce in the world and in Poland for selling textiles online and to emphasize the problem of size matching in the context of returns.
Consumer Buying Behavior of Coconut Oil: A Case of the Homagama Ds Division in Sri Lanka
Authors: Weerasinghe W.A.R.N. , Malkanthi S.H.P. 
Published: December 2022

Summary
Edible oil is a critical component of food and a significant source of energy for human beings. Most households in Sri Lanka prepare daily meals with edible oils. However, the adulteration of cooking oil is abundantly taking place in the country. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the buying behavior of coconut oil consumers and their perception of regular and virgin coconut oils. Moreover, the relationship between the socioeconomic factors of Sri Lankan coconut oil consumers and their buying behavior was also investigated. Pre-tested questionnaires were administered to a total of 100 respondents, who were selected using simple random-sampling techniques in the Homagama divisional secretariats. Data analysis was carried out by means of descriptive statistics, important-performance analysis and the chi-square test.
The results obtained indicate that the majority of the consumers surveyed (54%) generally purchase regular coconut oil. Although a certain number of the consumers (10%) use virgin coconut oil, a significant percentage (30%) was found to use palm oil (vegetable oil) for meal preparation. Furthermore, a significant relationship was established between the socioeconomic factors of the respondent’s age and monthly income and their buying behavior of coconut oil. The consumers’ perception of regular and virgin coconut oils gave priority to the quality, appearance and information about the product ingredients when purchasing virgin coconut oil. Moreover, when purchasing regular coconut oil, the respondents gave priority to the price, availability and promotion of the product. A significant relationship was established between the respondents’ health issues and their coconut oil buying behavior. The consumers who had at least one family member suffering from cholesterol mainly purchased regular coconut oil and palm oil. Therefore, it is timely and important to increase the consumer awareness of the benefits of using virgin coconut oil instead of adulterated regular coconut oil or palm oil.
Influence of Crop Density and Pinching on Hemp Plant Architecture and Yield

Published: December 2022

Summary
One-year experiments conducted with one hemp variety were established to determinate the cultivation practices (growth density and pinching) which could be used to optimize the technological process of hemp varieties production for different purposes. The results showed that reduced crop density and pinching result in development of shorter plants. In denser non-pinched crops, the stem is over 180 cm high, while the plants start branching in the upper 1/4-1/5 part. In the non-pinched treatment with a larger area available for individual plants, as well as in the pinched treatments, more productive branches of less thickness develop in the lower parts. The non-pinched treatments generally produce higher stem and fiber yields, which increase when crop density is reduced. The obtained results can serve as a basis for determining certain treatments during the evaluation of production technology for different varieties of hemp intended for specific purposes.
Lithium in the Environment and its Effects on Higher Plants
Authors: Kastori Rudolf , Maksimović Ivana , Putnikdelić Marina 
Published: December 2022

Summary
Lithium (Li) is present in low concentrations in all parts of the biosphere, including living organisms. It reaches the terrestrial environment primarily through natural processes to which parent substrate was subjected during pedogenesis, and due to anthropogenic activities. Individual soil types differ regarding Li content; for example saline and loamy soils have higher Li content. It is found in low concentrations primarily in ionic form in aquatic environments in surface and groundwater. It is mobile in the soil and thus soil contamination with Li can lead to its higher concentration in groundwater. In the environment, Li reaches the atmosphere from Li-emitting sources. It is widely used in many industries, lately in the Li-ion batteries in electronic goods, due to which it may be a potential risk for the environment. Terrestrial plants take up Li largely via roots from the soil, but also via shoots from the atmosphere. In the soil, Li is mostly bound by clay fraction and organic matter. During the uptake, transport and distribution in plants it behaves like an alkaline earth ion, not like an alkali ion. The fact that Li is immobile in the phloem supports this claim. Its ascendent transport mainly depends upon the transpiration intensity. More Li is taken up by plants from acid soils than from alkaline soils. Li is non-essential for plant growth and development. In low concentrations it can be stimulative and affect chemical composition and organic production of plants. Li plays an important role in the metabolism of halophyte species. It is increasingly regarded as an essential trace element for animals and humans, and used in human medication to treat dementia, suicidal ideation, aggression and violence. High levels of Li are toxic to all plants, but uptake and sensitivity to Li are species-dependent. Some representatives of the Ranunculaceae, Solanaceae and Asteraceae families are characterized by increased Li accumulation, while Poaceae, Liliaceae, Brassicaceae, Caprifoliaceae show low accumulation. High concentrations of Li have adverse effects on many physiological and biochemical processes in plants (DNA, RNA and protein pathways, water relations, content of photosynthetic pigments, photosynthesis, production of reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation of the cell membranes etc.), which is further manifested as stunted growth, developmental disorder, visual symptoms, interveinal necrosis and necrosis along the leaf margins. Hyperaccumulator plants extract significant amounts of Li and are therefore used in phytoremediation. Better understanding of the effects of beneficial and phytotoxic concentrations of Li on metabolism and plant growth and development remains vital for the improvement of the knowledge about biological activity of Li in higher plants.
