description: Queste note presentano le idee scaturite dal gruppo di lavoro costituito per formulare una proposta di recupero di parte dell?edificio delle ex-officine Rizzi a Modena .
E' stato demolito gran parte dell?edificio: grosso modo quelle parti che erano state costruite nel corso degli ampliamenti effettuati a partire dagli anni Quaranta. Resta ancora una parte dell?edificio nord che certamente era gi� presente nel 1928 e che, da una prima valutazione degli esperti, sembra risalire alla fine dell?Ottocento: � a questa porzione che si riferisce la proposta di recupero.
Il carattere di queste note � volutamente schematico. Dopo un prologo che introduce il tema dell?identit� urbana, sono presentati alcuni dei materiali raccolti nel corso dell'indagine condotta dal gruppo di ricerca (in parte inclusi nelle cinque Appendici) e la proposta di recupero di parte dell?edificio per aprire una finestra sulla storia di Modena: una finestra in un luogo centrale della trasformazione urbanistica della citt� e in un edificio che evoca la storia delle origini della prima industrializzazione. Vi � poi una nota, tratta da uno scritto di Attilio Trebbi, che descrive il suo percorso ? indietro nel tempo, nel 1928 ? in bicicletta, per raggiungere le officine Rizzi: una ?narrazione semplice? che ci fa percorrere nello spazio e nel tempo la fase di nascita dell?industria metalmeccanica a Modena. Le Appendici completano la presentazione con la riproduzione della cartografia e delle foto, e con i materiali di documentazione del presente lavoro.

description: In the National Children's Study (NCS), assessments were proposed and developed that used a wide range of modes of administration (e.g., direct in-person interviews, telephone interviews, computer assisted interviews, self-administered questionnaires, real time and recall observations, and physical examinations). These modes of administration may pose accessibility challenges for some people with disabilities. Accessibility of measurement is important to consider because systematic exclusion of people with disabilities from research can lead to measurement bias and systematic error in derived scores. We describe our approach to analyzing the accessibility of measures in the NCS and describe the work of the Accessibility Domain Team. Finally, we describe a decision process for creating and using accessible health research measures.

description: Two new polyamine alkaloids (bufonines A-B), together with four known alkaloids, bufotenidine (3), bufotenine (4), 1-(β-d-ribofuranosyl)-lH-1,2,4-triazone (5) and proline (6) were isolated from the Bufo viridis toad venom. Their structures were identified by UV, HR-ESI-MS, NMR spectral analyses, and comparison of theoretical and experimental ECD data. All compounds were tested in vitro cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines (HT-29, A549 and Hela). None of the compounds showed cytotoxicity towards all tested cell lines. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of alkaloid components from Bufo viridis toad venom.

description: Applying high-throughput sequencing to pathogen discovery is a relatively new field, the objective of which is to find disease-causing agents when little or no background information on disease is available. Key steps in the process are the generation of millions of sequence reads from an infected tissue sample, followed by assembly of these reads into longer, contiguous stretches of nucleotide sequences, and then identification of the contigs by matching them to known databases, such as those stored at GenBank or Ensembl. This technique, that is, de novo metagenomics, is particularly useful when the pathogen is viral and strong discriminatory power can be achieved. However, recently, we found that striking differences in results can be achieved when different assemblers were used. In this study, we test formally the impact of five popular assemblers (MIRA, VELVET, METAVELVET, SPADES, and OMEGA) on the detection of a novel virus and assembly of its whole genome in a data set for which we have confirmed the presence of the virus by empirical laboratory techniques, and compare the overall performance between assemblers. Our results show that if results from only one assembler are considered, biologically important reads can easily be overlooked. The impacts of these results on the field of pathogen discovery are considered.
The targum (1977:Sept. 6 - 1977:Sept. 30)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1977

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Haemaphysalis darjeeling Hoogstraal and Dhanda, 1970
 This species has been reported from Myanmar and Thailand, as well as eastern India (Hoogstraal and Dhanda 1970; Geevarghese and Mishra 2011). There is also a tentative identification from Lao PDR (Vongphayloth et al. 2016). Hoogstraal and Dhanda (1970) characterize it as being “a parasite of hill and mountain forest-dwelling ‘game animals’ ranging from the eastern Himalaya of India to the Chiang Mai area of north-western Thailand.” It is found at elevations up to ca. 1,000 m. Adults have been recorded from serow, wild pigs, and barking deer, and there is one record of a specimen from a human. The immatures are unknown (Hoogstraal and Dhanda 1 970).
The male and female are illustrated in Hoogstraal and Dhanda (1970).

description: Honokiol (HNK) is a natural polyphenolic compound extracted from the bark and leaves of Magnolia grandiflora. It has been traditionally used as a medicinal compound to treat inflammatory diseases. HNK possesses numerous health benefits with a minimal level of toxicity. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and blood-cerebrospinal fluid, thus having significant bioavailability in the neurological tissues. HNK is a promising bioactive compound possesses neuroprotective, antimicrobial, anti-tumorigenic, anti-spasmodic, antidepressant, analgesic, and antithrombotic features . HNK can prevent the growth of several cancer types and haematological malignancies. Recent studies suggested its role in COVID-19 therapy. It binds effectively with several molecular targets, including apoptotic factors, chemokines, transcription factors, cell surface adhesion molecules, and kinases. HNK has excellent pharmacological features and a wide range of chemotherapeutic effects, and thus, researchers have increased interest in improving the therapeutic implications of HNK to the clinic as a novel agent. This review focused on the therapeutic implications of HNK, highlighting clinical and pharmacological features and the underlying mechanism of action. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

title: ÉCRITURE DE VOYAGE ET LOCALITÉS THERMALES D’AUVERGNE DANS LES ANNÉES 1820-1830
title: Travel writing and spa towns of Auvergne in the years 1820-1830
Creators: name: Flauraud, Vincent
Publisher: name: Société française de médecine thermale
Year: 2016

description: Le regard porté sur les villes thermales par les récits de voyage dans les années 1820-1830 –
moment où ils s’affirment comme genre d’écriture – n’est pas forcément porteur d’une fascination marquée pour ces lieux de villégiature. L’exemple de l’Auvergne vue par le baron Taylor dans ses Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l’ancienne France (1829-1833), et par le peintre et critique d’art Étienne-Jean Delécluze (1821) illustre bien ce phénomène. Peu de localités – donc d’activités – thermales apparaissent dans leurs deux récits. Certes, le développement du thermalisme est encore ténu en Auvergne, et ce sont des inventaires reflétant bien la hiérarchie des cités thermales du moment qui sont livrés, faisant ressortir combien Le Mont-Dore se pose en station pionnière par excellence. L’efficacité du thermalisme y est considérée sous un angle scientifique. C’est une autre grille de lecture que mobilisent ces auteurs pour s’émouvoir : celle du romantisme. Les localités thermales et leur environnement sont évoqués d’abord comme composantes d’un système naturel. En revanche, la réalité sociale de la pratique de cure thermale n’est évoquée qu’à la marge, réservant du dédain à ces curistes-touristes qui ne savent pas “jouir de la nature”. Ici entrent en conflit deux représentations de l’usage du temps libre par l’élite : celle des auteurs-voyageurs, privilégiant un loisir cultivé (otium), face à celle d’une élite mondaine qu’ils fustigent parce qu’elle “gaspille” ce temps dans la futilité.
description: The travel accounts of the years 1820-1830 (the period when this type of write asserts itself) are not necessarily characterized by a fascination for spa towns. The example of Auvergne seen by the baron Taylor in its Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l’ancienne France (1829- 1833), and by the painter and art critic Étienne-Jean Delécluze (1821), illustrates this phenomenon. Few spa towns appear in their two narratives. The development of water cures and spa tourism is certainly still limited at that time in Auvergne. The effectiveness of spa treatments is considered under a scientific angle. These authors mobilize another key for reading to express their feelings : the romanticism. The spa towns and their environment are evoked at first as components of a natural system. The social reality of the practice of water cure is evoked only marginally, reserving some disdain to these hydrotherapy-tourists who do not know how to “enjoy the nature”. Two representations of the use of the spare time by the elite oppose here : that of the authors-travellers, favouring a cultivated leisure (otium), against that of a worldly elite, that they criticize because she “wastes” this free time.
The Linguistic Construction of Power along the Concepts of Race, Class and Speciesism in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Creators: name: Neumann, Dorit
Publisher: name: Satura
Year: 2020

description: Harry Potter (HP) is arguably the favourite children’s book series of a whole generation of now young adults. But it is not only a children’s story about a magical world – it contains highly political themes like power, race, class and fascism. As it can be fruitful to take a look at how certain topics are presented to readers at a young age, I will try to open up a new, linguistic perspective on the construction of power in HP by employing methods of a literary linguistic analysis. A close look at how power relations are constructed linguistically is necessary since language is an important means to reproduce, enforce and create power. Or as Dumbledore says: “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it” (Harry Potter, 01:34:57-01:35:08). In order to answer the question of how power is constructed along the concepts of race, class and speciesism in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the analysis will be structured as follows: First, the literary linguistic analysis of the construction of power will be presented, touching briefly upon the theoretical background of the methods used for analysis along the way. Then, the findings will be discussed from an intersectional perspective. In the end, I will provide a summary of the linguistic features primarily contributing to the construction of power hierarchies in the novel. The analysis mainly focuses on the second novel of the series because issues of racial or class differences begin to play a central role there. When the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, racially motivated attacks on students begin, and the topic of power structures moves to the centre of the story.

description: Abstract Neural activity coordinated across different scales from neuronal circuits to large-scale brain networks gives rise to complex cognitive functions. Bridging the gap between micro- and macroscale processes, we present a novel framework based on the maximum entropy model to infer a hybrid resting-state structural connectome, representing functional interactions constrained by structural connectivity. We demonstrate that the structurally informed network outperforms the unconstrained model in simulating brain dynamics, wherein by constraining the inference model with the network structure we may improve the estimation of pairwise BOLD signal interactions. Further, we simulate brain network dynamics using Monte Carlo simulations with the new hybrid connectome to probe connectome-level differences in excitation-inhibition balance between apolipoprotein E (APOE)-ε4 carriers and noncarriers. Our results reveal sex differences among APOE-ε4 carriers in functional dynamics at criticality; specifically, female carriers appear to exhibit a lower tolerance to network disruptions resulting from increased excitatory interactions. In sum, the new multimodal network explored here enables analysis of brain dynamics through the integration of structure and function, providing insight into the complex interactions underlying neural activity such as the balance of excitation and inhibition.

description: Textual variants are the differences found in one copy of a printed text to another. We all know the famous line: “To be or not to be, that is the question[,]” but few among us know the variant form: “To be, or not to be, I there’s the point [.]” Both were printed and published as the work of Shakespeare, from the First Folio and First Quarto,1 respectively, but only the first version is taught and performed, as it is thought to be closest to the author’s original (Parsons 87). Out of variants like this grew the field of textual criticism, in which scholars compare copies of a single edition, often with the aim of uncovering the most authentic and authoritative version of the text to create critical editions (Tanselle 1). The Bible and the works of Shakespeare have traditionally been two common foci of the textual scholar’s gaze.

description: RuPaul's Drag Race [RPDR] is an American reality TV show that aired for the first time in 2009. In typical America's Next Top Model demeanour contestants are competing for the title of America's next drag superstar, participating in various challenges from singing to acting to walking the runway. The contestants are performing Drag Queens. Although Rusty Barrett describes Drag Queens as "almost always gay men" (313), this erases the identity of many of the contestants. Many of them identify as gay men, however a number of contestants also find themselves on the trans-spectrum, identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or as transsexual, sometimes already in transition. Here lies one of the biggest issues with the analysis of Drag: it might be very easy to see the contestants as men dressing up as women, but that would adhere to a binary that doesn’t always apply to Drag Queens.

Modern Family and Modern Approaches to ICC
Creators: name: Wiechmann, Rosalie
Publisher: name: Satura
Year: 2020

description: This essay is the result of realizing that the curricula of Gymnasium and Berufskolleg differ tremendously. Whereas the Gymnasium focuses on topics like postcolonialism and Shakespeare, the Berufskolleg’s curriculum demands knowledge about “the experience of work” and “personal identities and social relationships” (MSB 9). Simultaneously, it lacks cultural topics like India and Nigeria. Considering the topic of social relationships, the television series Modern Family would be well suited as an introduction and at the same time support the obligatory examination of “family in literature and film” (13). As intercultural communicative competence (ICC) is one of today’s main aims in the English language classroom, it would be interesting to see how teachers at Berufskolleg can comply with the guidelines of the Bildungsplan 1 and still achieve ICC. This, and the medium of TV series, leads to the question of whether Modern Family offers modern ways of developing ICC. This paper will focus on how ICC can be developed through less cultural topics but through a mandatory topic like ‘family’. Firstly, the paper will outline what ICC in general denotes and discuss the use of TV series in the English classroom. Secondly, the pilot episode of Modern Family will be analyzed in three steps according to knowledge, skills and attitude. Thirdly, the usefulness and suitability of Modern Family for developing ICC will be discussed.

description: Haemaphysalis davisi Hoogstraal, Dhanda and Bhat, 1970
 Haemaphysalis davisi was described from the Myitkyina area of northern Myanmar, with additional collections from northeastern India, occurring in both tropical and temperate zones between 140 m and 2,750 m (Dhanda et al. 1970). Adults have been found on domestic cattle, sheep, goats, horses, mules and hybrids between domestic cattle and gaur (Bos gaurus), as well as various wild deer species, gaur, tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) and hog badger (A. collaris). Nymphs occur on a similar range of hosts (Geevarghese and Mistra 2011) but larval hosts are unknown.
 The male, female and nymph are described in Hoogstraal et al. (1970).

title: The adaptability of empirical equations to calculate potential evapotranspiration and trend analysis of hydroclimatological parameters for agricultural areas in Newfoundland
Creators: name: Perera, K. V. Gayantha Sashika
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: Calculation of potential evapotranspiration (PET) has been problematic in Newfoundland (NL) due to the lack of measured data. Therefore, PET data obtained from the Pacific Field Corn Association for St John’s, NL was compared against five empirical PET calculation equations (i.e. (i) radiation-based Priestley-Taylor (PT), and Makkink (M), (ii) temperature-based Hargreaves-Samani (HS), and Turc (T), and (iii) location-based Hamon (H)). Evaluation based on the results concluded that the HS equation would be appropriate to calculate PET in NL. Further calibrations and validations were done to modify the HS to better calculate PET for the growing season (May-October) in NL. The modifications improved the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and co-efficient of determination (R2) of the validated data. Trend assessment carried out using Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA) and Mann-Kendal (MK) tests indicated that both methods were in par with each other. Most of the significant positive trends of monthly total precipitation (0.375-2.210 mm/month/year) were available for September and October. Positive trends for minimum and maximum temperatures were found mostly concentrated within August and September with increments ranging from 0.015 to 0.062 ºC/month/year. PET trends of magnitudes up to 0.011 mm/month/year were observed mostly within September and October. Total water balance did not show as many positive trends as other parameters considered. However, the available positive trends (ranging from 0.018 to 0.076 mm/month/year) were also focused mostly within September. As a conclusion, the HS equation with modifications and error margins (where necessary) can be used to calculate PET accurately for the growing season in NL, and positive trends are observed mostly within the later periods of the growing season. The results of this study could be used in consideration of agricultural expansion, selecting cropping systems and water management systems of NL in future.

description: Η αυτοκαταστροφική συμπεριφορά, με τραγικότερη εκδήλωσή της την αυτοκτονία, αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα ζητήματα έρευνας της σύγχρονης ψυχιατρικής. Από την άλλη πλευρά, αυτοκτονικός κίνδυνος, ο οποίος σχετίζεται με πλήθος παραγόντων που τον επηρεάζουν, αυξάνεται σημαντικά σε άτομα που πάσχουν από ψυχικές διαταραχές, και ειδικότερα σε ασθενείς με διαγνωσμένες διαταραχές της διάθεσης. Παράλληλα, μεγάλο μέρος της σύγχρονης ερευνητικής βιβλιογραφίας συνδέει τα επίπεδα των λιπιδίων με εκδηλώσεις αυτοκαταστροφικής συμπεριφοράς και εντατικοποίηση της αυτοκτονικής διάθεσης, ενώ πλήθος νευροενδοκρινικών μελετών υποστηρίζει το ρόλο της χαμηλής σεροτονινεργικής δραστηριότητας ως παράγοντα της αυξημένης αυτοκτονικότητας. Στην παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή διερευνάται η σχέση της αυτοκτονικότητας και της ψυχωσικής συμπτωματολογίας με τα επίπεδα των λιπιδίων σε 124 ασθενείς ηλικίας 18 έως 55 ετών με παθήσεις του φάσματος της ψύχωσης και εξετάζεται αν τα μειωμένα επίπεδα λιπιδίων σχετίζονται με αύξηση της καταθλιπτικής και αυτοκτονικής διάθεσης και συμπεριφοράς. Σύμφωνα με τα στατιστικά ευρήματα, αποδεικνύεται μη στατιστικά σημαντική συσχέτιση επιπέδων λιπιδίων, αυτοκτονικότητας και ψυχωσικής συμπτωματολογίας, ενώ καταδεικνύεται και μη στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά στο λιπιδικό προφίλ των εξεταζόμενων υποκειμένων, αναφορικά με τις εφαρμοζόμενες κλίμακες μέτρησης των παραπάνω χαρακτηριστικών. Ωστόσο, περαιτέρω έρευνα προς την κατεύθυνση της ανίχνευσης των βιολογικών παραγόντων που αυξάνουν τον αυτοκτονικό κίνδυνο καθίσταται σημαντική και αναγκαία.
description: Suicidal behavior, with its most tragic event of suicide, is one of the major research issues of modern psychiatry. On the other hand, suicidal risk, which is associated with many factors that affect it, is significantly increased in individuals suffering from mental disorders, especially in patients diagnosed with mood disorders. Moreover, much of modern research literature links lipid levels with events of suicidal behavior and intensification of suicidal intention, while many neuroendocrine studies supports the role of low serotonergic activity as a factor of increased suicidality. This thesis investigates the relationship between suicidality and psychotic symptoms with lipid levels in 124 patients aged 18 to 55 years with diseases of the spectrum of psychosis and examines whether the reduced lipid levels are associated with increased depressive and suicidal mood and behavior. According to statistical findings, non-significant correlation of lipid levels, suicidality, and psychotic symptoms was demonstrated, along with non-significant difference in lipid profiles of the test subjects regarding the applicable scales of these features. However, further research towards the detection of biological agents that increase the suicidal risk is important and necessary.

Growth prediction of recent permanent sample plots for forest inventory projection
Creators: name: Thérien, Guillaume
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Permanent sample plots have become the main source of information for estimating models which quantify the dynamic processes of a forest. Fitted models allow for projecting inventories, used to determine timber production and many forest management decisions. The quality of these models is largely dependent on the quality of the information provided by the permanent sample plots. However, the pool of information contained in recent permanent sample plots is limited. Efficient estimation techniques must use all the information available from such plots. Current estimation techniques can be improved. Existing techniques employed in forestry have failed to recognize the random nature of the individual model characterizing each plot. On the other hand, techniques designed for remeasured entities in other scientific fields do not address particular forestry situations such as the small number of remeasurements or the irregularity of remeasurements. A framework for estimating forestry growth models which recognizes the individuality of each plot and special forestry situations is presented in this dissertation. The proposed framework is a two-stage estimation technique, in which the growth rate of a permanent sample plot is considered analogous to the interest rate on a bank account. The first stage estimates the growth rate after removing the time effect. The second stage, based on Von Bertalanffy's growth curve, relates growth rate to site index and volume at the beginning of the growing season. The proposed predictor of future growth rates, the "weighted predictor," is a weighted average between the growth rate observed on a plot and the growth rate predicted from the second-stage model. The weighted predictor is then used to compound the current volume of a plot. An estimate of the variance of the prediction can also be computed.

description: Исследование посвящено выявлению состояния, тенденций и особенностей развития российской металлургической отрасли. Металлургия является одной из важнейших отраслей экономики страны, однако вклад ее в ВВП невелик. Основу российской металлургии составляют шесть крупных вертикально и горизонтально интегрированных холдингов. На динамику их рыночной стоимости оказывают наибольшее влияние курс рубля, мировые цены на сырьевые ресурсы и корпоративные решения. В последние годы металлургическое производство в России показывает слабый рост, однако в 2019 г. наметились негативные тенденции. Следует заметить, что данные тенденции носят общемировой характер. По мнению экспертов, ждать существенного улучшения ситуации не приходится, особенно с учетом пандемии коронавируса. Негативное влияние будут, по-прежнему, оказывать торговые войны на внешних рынках, развитие внутреннего рынка также довольно сомнительно. К числу основных проблем компаний металлургической отрасли относятся несовершенство государственного регулирования; недостаточный объем мощностей и производственно-технического потенциала; высокий уровень налогообложения.

title: The effect of nutritional status on goldfish (Carassius auratus) gut microbiota composition and energy homeostasis

description: The microorganisms within the intestinal tract (termed gut microbiota) have been shown to interact with the gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication system between the gut and the brain mediated by hormonal, immune, and neural signals. Through these interactions, the microbiota might affect behaviours, including feeding behaviour, digestive/absorptive processes (e.g., by modulating intestinal motility and the intestinal barrier), metabolism, with repercussions on the energy homeostasis and health of the host. To date, research in this field has mostly focused on mammals. Studies on nonmammalian models such as fish may provide novel insights into the specific mechanisms involved in the microbiota-brain-gut axis. The goldfish gut microbiota was initially analyzed in various regions of the gut (foregut, midgut and hindgut), with similarities found among gut regions and fish samples. The effects of two and four weeks of fasting and a synbiotic-based diet on the goldfish midgut microbiota was then analyzed. Fasting resulted in no significant differences in the midgut microbiome diversity in goldfish. There were significant differences between two and four-week fasted groups with regards to the abundance of specific bacterial taxa (species composition). The synbiotic diet induced a decrease in the microbiome biodiversity in comparison to the control diet, and significant changes in the species composition. Goldfish fed the synbiotic diet had a significant increase in food consumption compared to fish fed the control diet. I examined the effects of fasting and a synbiotic diet on the expression of appetite regulators. Fasting had no effects on the mRNA expressions of brain orexin and CART1 or foregut GLP-1, but decreased brain CART2 and foregut CCK, and PYY, which was expected, as these are anorexigenic hormones. The synbiotic diet had no effect on relative brain mRNA expression of brain orexin, CART1 and CART2 or foregut CCK and GLP-1 but increased mRNA foregut expression for PYY. Overall, this study provides new insights into the effects of nutritional status on the goldfish gut microbiota and energy homeostasis, and suggests that alterations of the gut microbiota due to changes in nutrition may regulate the central and peripheral expression of genes related to appetite and digestion.
The Culture of Mental Illness

description: Psychiatry has not always been a science which relies on cultural heritage. In fact, in many practices across the world, psychiatry is seen as medicinal and broken down into symptoms, labels, and treatments. For instance, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5), is a tool used by medical professionals to define and classify mental disorders in order to improve diagnoses, treatment, and research. Although including contributions from an international community, this tool is framed by a USAmerican view on mental illness. It often neglects the patients’ emotions and experience with the disease and may lead to an incomplete picture of the patient’s illness with problematic consequences regarding both the diagnosis and treatment (Gray 1). There has been an increased effort on the part of many anthropologists and psychiatrists alike to work toward a more comprehensive understanding of the cultural influences on mental illness. These influences are depicted in the filmic work Better Call Saul (2015 & 2017) which takes place within the US and strongly represent how mental illness is popularly viewed there. This popular view of mental illness dictates how the character called Chuck develops throughout the program, thus giving a valuable perspective on the cultural influence on psychiatric treatment in the US.

#wegmit219a

description: “The personal is political”—this slogan, that became popular by U.S. American feminist movements in the 1960s to highlight the connection between individual experiences and political structures (McCann and SeungKyung 191), appears to be gaining momentum again, this time in the context of online movements. With social media widely accessible, the personal becomes not only political but also something to post about, as seen with recent hashtag movements like #metoo. A similar feminist protest movement started in Germany in 2017, introducing the hashtag #wegmit219a to voice discontent regarding Germany’s Abortion Act. Almost 30 years after Germany’s reunification, the debate regarding the abortion legislation in the German Penal Code thus resurfaces. Similar to former debates between East and West Germany around 1990 focusing particularly on §219a that prohibits the “promotion” of abortions, therefore e.g. banning any information on websites indicating even the possibility of an abortion, current protests and social media movements also centre on said paragraph and aim at abolishing it with the help of internet campaigns (“Weg Mit §219a”). This paper will primarily focus on #wegmit219a movement and discuss whether its online discourse presents a useful tool to provoke change within the German legal system. Drawing on the origin and the development of the §219a, I argue that the Abortion Act exemplifies Germany’s antiquated stance on womanhood in opposition to Germany’s image as a self-proclaimed progressive and liberal state.

Monstrous Gender Performances in Macbeth
Creators: name: Van Laak, Felicitas
Publisher: name: Satura
Year: 2020

description: In his essay “Monster Culture (Seven Theses),” Jeffrey J. Cohen defines and deconstructs textual monsters, his base assumption being that each monster helps understand the culture it is born into. Derived from the Latin monstrare, which means ‘to show,’ a monster indirectly points to the deeply rooted fears and anxieties of a society at a certain point in time. The monstrous is a shapeshifter, depending on constant reinterpretation. Consequently, I aim at deconstructing monstrous physicality to reveal the cultural anxieties it embodies. While Shakespeare inflationarily uses various forms of the term ‘monster’ when referring to Caliban in The Tempest, it appears only twice in Macbeth. Nevertheless, the performance history of Lady Macbeth and the witches a strong association with monstrosity. This essay follows the proposition that “the body in play bears continuous meaning onstage, and always exceeds the play text it inhabits” (Rutter xiii), as well as Butler’s premise that gender is a performance. I will use Cohen’s theory to illustrate the sexualising and othering strategies that support misogynist representations of Lady Macbeth and the witches. This article covers two 2018 productions of Macbeth starting with the live recording of the performance from the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) directed by Polly Findlay. Then, I will discuss Kit Monkman’s “radical new adaptation,” which claims to “amplify[ ] the theatrical context of the original whilst creating truly innovative and thrilling cinematic vistas.”

Subjects: data management; open data; research data; agricultute

description: This deliverable outlines the strategy for data management to be followed throughout the course of the project and presents the associated support pack including: (a) the data management guidelines and (b) a template that will be instantiated for all datasets that will be used and/or produced by the project pilots as part of the identified use cases and relevant scenarios. Based on the progress so far of “T2.1 Use Cases & Requirements”, four (4) use cases have been identified which were then further divided in different scenarios. The pilot that will be later defined will constitute instantiations of these use cases. For these use case and scenarios, some of the supporting data have already been described with the help of the data management plan template. These templates per different scenarios will be periodically updated to take account of additional decisions or best practices adopted during the project lifetime. Until the end of the project, they will include detailed individual Data Management Plans (DMPs) for the ensuing datasets (or groups of related datasets). These plans address a number of questions related to hosting the data (persistence), appropriately describing the data (data provenance, relevant audience for re-use, discoverability), access and sharing (rights, privacy, limitations) and information about the human and physical resources expected to carry out the plans.
