Religious jouissance, bigotry and identificatory mis-recognition in Elmer Gantry's conversion experience
Creators: name: Pereira Lopes, Ana Maria Marques Da Costa
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Religions

description: Abstract:   Assuming that the American self (and culture) was founded upon Puritan values, the aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of identificatory processes in helping to enforce conformity towards prevailing religious mores, as stated above, of a puritanical nature.   Underlying our decision to focus the discussion on the novel Elmer Gantry is our belief that, as a novelist of manners, the author of Elmer Gantry, Sinclair Lewis, was particularly talented in the art of deconstructing many of the mechanisms used by the ruling class, the American middle class, to enforce conformity of the individual towards the dominant ideological, religious and social order. Contrary to the myth of the province as locus amoenus, an extension/enlargement of the myth of the farmer as the most honest and hardworking of men (whose forefathers were puritans, believed to be no less pious than their descendants were to become), popularized by authors such as Zona Gale, Booth Tarkington or Meredith Nicholson, Sinclair Lewis showed that the province had received the legacy of three centuries of ideological indoctrination and intellectual, moral and spiritual dilettantism. Having broken, after the publication of Main Street in 1920, with the prevailing literary tradition, Lewis demonstrates, in all the novels pertaining to the 20s (including obviously Elmer Gantry) that white middle class Americans (of Anglo-Saxon ancestry), assume the role of “subjects” maintaining with “the other”, be he an Indian, an immigrant, or even nature, a castrating relationship that eventually results in the puerile, neurotic or megalomaniac alienation of the subject himself/herself.  Thus, the trajectory of Lewis’s hero Elmer Gantry can be analysed through an application of key psychoanalytic concepts, such as Melanie Klein’s theory of “good” and bad breasts” or the Oedipus complex or paternal metaphor, elaborated by Freud and recovered by Lacan, under the designation of the Name-of–the–Father. Accepting the Name-of-the-Father implies a perception of a denial, a lack, a prohibition, once the French word nom (name), when pronounced orally, is indistinguishable from non (no). Elmer, therefore, will commit a double murder, symbolically killing both his earthly and his Heavenly Father, so as to become equal to (or even replace) him/Him.   Key words: “good and bad objects/breasts”; subject; other; introjection; Oedipus complex; The –Name-of-the-Father

description: The Indiana Department of Transportation implements maximum soil fill covers to ensure the safe installation and operation of buried pipes. Historically, fill cover tables are provided by INDOT, but the methodology for calculating these covers is not well documented. The finite element method enables a comprehensive analysis of the soil-pipe system taking into account soil conditions, pipe type and geometry, and conditions on the pipe-soil interface.
This thesis discusses the calculation of maximum fill covers for corrugated and structural plate pipe-arches using the finite element software CANDE and compares the results with previous estimates provided by INDOT. The CANDE software uses the Finite Element Method, and the Load and Resistance Factored design based on a two-dimensional culvert installation in a soil-pipe model. The model is set up under plain strain conditions and is subjected to factored dead and live load, and provides an analysis of the structure based on safety measures against all factored failure modes associated with the structural material.
Significant issues were encountered when calculating the maximum fill covers for pipe-arches in CANDE, including the inability of standard CANDE (Level 2 mesh) to model pipe-arches, lack of convergence for nonlinear analysis, and fill cover results higher than expected. To solve these issues, the pipe-arches were modeled using Level 3 solution in CANDE. The CANDE analyses were run using small-deformation analysis after buckling was eliminated as a governing failure mode using parallel simulations in Abaqus. Numerical results were compared to analytical solutions following ASTM standards.
The results showed that CANDE and INDOT calculations differ significantly, with the CANDE results yielding higher fill covers than those provided in INDOT specifications. These differences are attributed to the assumed loading pattern at failure. While the CANDE results assume that the maximum fill cover height is defined by the failure of the pipe considering the radial pressure (Pv), the INDOT results are consistent with results obtained by limiting the bearing capacity of the soil around the corner radius (Pc).

description: “Poetry makes nothing happen,” W.H. Auden famously articulates in “In Memory of W.B. Yeats, “it survives / A way of happening, a mouth.” The Dumb Weight is a collection of poems that explores this tension, always trying to locate the body, how it speaks, its language. The poems take as their subject the act of making as a performance of knowingness, an assumed familiarity as that of an intimate listener, and attempts to navigate the space between utterance and its subject, it’s author and speaker, speaker and what is spoken, between poem and you—for if what John Ashbery writes in “Paradoxes and Oxymorons,” is true, “the poem is you.”

Value Generation and Capture in the Agri-Food Value Chain

Subjects: Agricultural economics

description: How do food and agribusiness firms capture more profit in their value chain? How do innovative managers identify attractive adjacency and disintermediation opportunities? What options are available to a manager facing these questions and what economic incentives might motivate their strategic behavior? This study sought to address these timely questions, more effectively understand the strategic decisions facing food and agribusiness managers relative to value chain profit pools, and uncover some of the hidden dynamics between chain participants. Specifically, this study defines and quantifies the U.S. animal protein industry value chain across three species – hogs, cattle, and broiler chickens. The study found evidence to suggest that governance structure has strong ties to value generation and that intra-value chain dynamics impact price transmission between chain nodes. Further, this study creates a foundation for other researchers to continue examining agri-food value chain dynamics and its link to firm-level profitability, value capture, and long-term sustainability.

Faithful Witnessing as Practice: Decolonial Readings of Shadows of Your Black Memory and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Subjects: subject: African literature

subject: Spanish language

description: This article considers Marıa Lugones’s concept of faithful witnessing as a point of departure to think about the ethics and possibilities of faithful witnessing in literary contexts. For Lugones, faithful witnessing is an act of aligning oneself with oppressed peoples against the grain of power and recognizing their humanity, oppression, and resistance despite the lack of institutional endorsement. I engage the work of Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Denise Oliver, and other scholars who offer methodologies and discourses on recognition, witnessing, and resis- tance. I argue that the feminist philosophical concept of faithful witnessing is a critical ele- ment of reading decolonial imaginaries. The article undertakes close readings of two novels in the Afro-Latinx and Afro-Hispanic tradition: Donato Ndongo’s Shadows of Your Black Memory and Junot Dıaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. In these readings, the concept of faithful witnessing enriches the analysis of religious colonization and the gender violence inherent to coloniality.

Higher education

description: To address the U.S. labor shortage in the fields of agriculture and STEM, higher education needs to recruit, retain, and prepare more underrepresented minority students into agricultural and STEM disciplines. Teachers play important roles in student learning, which can lead to student academic and professional success. With university classrooms becoming more diverse, faculty need to adopt inclusive teaching methods in order to accommodate the needs and expectations of diverse students. Culturally responsive teaching embraces and integrates students’ culture into the teaching and learning process. As a result, culturally responsive teaching can offer a more engaging learning experience for all students; however, in the context of higher education, there is a lack of understanding and application of culturally responsive teaching by faculty. This study examined students’ perceptions of culturally responsive teaching practices in their first college mathematics course through a developed and modified instrument for higher education. Further, this study used a structural equation model to predict the relationships among students’ perceptions of culturally responsive teaching, sense of belonging and academic self-efficacy. Data were collected through the anonymous questionnaire administrated through Qualtrics. Participants of this study were undergraduate students enrolled in the college of agriculture, college of science and college of liberal arts at a predominately white institution (PWI) and an Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Five conclusions were generated from the study. First, the scale developed to measure students’ perceptions of culturally responsive teaching in higher education was a valid instrument. Second, college students observed and sensed different types of culturally responsive teaching differently. Third, students’ perceptions of culturally responsive teaching predicted students’ academic self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Fourth, students who had a higher sense of belonging were more confident as college students. Finally, African American students at an HBCU had higher perceptions of culturally responsive teaching. Implications for practice were provided to help promote the application of culturally responsive teaching in higher education. Recommendations for future research were also discussed to inform future studies regarding culturally responsive teaching in university settings.

description: Background: In 2015, 3,674 new HIV diagnoses were notified in Germany; 16% of those newly diagnosed cases originated from sub-Saharan Africa (sSA). One quarter of the newly diagnosed cases among migrants from sSA (MisSA) are notified as having acquired the HIV infection in Germany. In order to reach MisSA with HIV testing opportunities, we aimed to identify which determinants influence the uptake of HIV testing among MisSA in Germany. Methods: To identify those determinants, we conducted a quantitative cross-sectional survey among MisSA in Germany. The survey was designed in a participatory process that included MisSA and other stakeholders in HIV-prevention. Peer researchers recruited participants to complete standardized questionnaires on HIV knowledge and testing. We conducted multivariable analyses (MVA) to identify determinants associated with ever having attended voluntary HIV testing; and another MVA to identify determinant associated with having had the last voluntary HIV test in Germany. Results: Peer researchers recruited 2,782 participants eligible for inclusion in the MVA. Of these participants, 59.9% (1,667/2,782) previously had an HIV test. For each general statement about HIV that participants knew prior to participation in the study, the odds of having been tested increased by 19% (OR 1.19; 95%-CI: 1.11–1.27). Participants reporting that HIV is a topic that is discussed in their community had 92% higher odds of having been tested for HIV (OR 1.92; 95%-CI: 1.60–2.31). Migrants living in Germany for less than a year had the lowest odds of having had their last HIV test in Germany (OR 0.17; 95%-CI: 0.11–0.27). Additionally, MisSA 18 to 25 years (OR 0.55; 95%-CI: 0.42–0.73) and participants with varied sexual partners and inconsistent condom use (OR 0.75; 95%-CI: 0.44–0.97) had significantly lower odds of having had their last HIV test in Germany. Discussion: Through participatory research, we were able to show that knowledge about HIV and discussing HIV in communities increased the odds of having attended HIV testing among MisSA. However, recent migrants and young sexually active people are among the least reached by testing offers in Germany. Community-based interventions may present opportunities to reach such migrants and improve knowledge and increase discussion about HIV.

description: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) methods provide new possibilities in the field of molecular epidemiology. This is particularly true for monomorphic organisms where the discriminatory power of traditional methods (e.g., restriction enzyme length polymorphism typing, multi locus sequence typing etc.) is inadequate to elucidate complex disease transmission patterns, as well as resolving the phylogeny at high resolution on a micro-geographic scale. In this study, we present insights into the population structure of Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica, the causative agent of tularemia in Switzerland. A total of 59 Fth isolates were obtained from castor bean ticks (Ixodes ricinus), animals and humans and a high resolution phylogeny was inferred using WGS methods. The majority of the Fth population in Switzerland belongs to the west European B.11 clade and shows an extraordinary genetic diversity underlining the old evolutionary history of the pathogen in the alpine region. Moreover, a new B.11 subclade was identified which was not described so far. The combined analysis of the epidemiological data of human tularemia cases with the whole genome sequences of the 59 isolates provide evidence that ticks play a pivotal role in transmitting Fth to humans and other vertebrates in Switzerland. This is further underlined by the correlation of disease risk estimates with climatic and ecological factors influencing the survival of ticks.

description: This experimental online study investigates the influence of the depiction of ideal body images typical for Instagram on body dissatisfaction in young adults and also examines whether a self-discrepancy in the perception of one's own body can qualify the influence as a mediator variable. A quantitative mixed design was chosen. The subjects (N = 66, 72.73% female, age M = 24, SD = 2.75) were randomly assigned to the two an experimental group with idealized image material vs. a control group with average image material typical for Instagram. As part of a repeat measurement, the baseline level (pre-measurement) and both variables were measured again after exposure to the post-measurement for the criterion body dissatisfaction and for the mediator variable self-discrepancy. The mixed ANOVA to test the central hypothesis shows that the two study groups differ significantly in their mean values across the measurement times. Body-dissatisfaction increased after exposure to ideal body shapes, while it decreased in the control group with average body shapes. The discrepancy facet Actual/Ideal Self was included as a covariate in the mixed ANOVA; it also influences body dissatisfaction after exposure to the visual material. The determination of the directionality of the influence (GLM mediation model) was not-significant. The discussion opens up the debate as to what extent the self-discrepancy facet is the cause of body dissatisfaction (as a mediator variable) or rather part of body dissatisfaction itself. The limitations and the outlook provide approaches for future research.
A Framework for Modular and Compositional Reasoning in Kôika
Creators: name: Kurze, Max
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Ensuring the functional correctness of hardware circuits is essential for estab-lishing trust. Formal verification methods such as model checking and assertion-based verification, while widely used, are inherently limited in expressivity andscalability. These limitations prevent them from bridging the semantic gap be-tween low-level hardware implementations and high-level specifications, posingchallenges for comprehensive verification on complex circuits.

This thesis addresses these challenges by developing a scalable proof infra-structure tailored for hardware verification. Specifically, it enhances the existingKôika hardware description language by introducing an improved compiler fron-tend that facilitates the processing of parametric actions. Furthermore, it proposesa new proof infrastructure that formalizes Hoare logic within Kôika’s semantics,enabling structured and modular reasoning about hardware behaviors.

These contributions advance the modular verification of hardware circuits,overcoming the scalability limitations of conventional verification approaches.Future research directions include extending this framework to incorporateseparation logic, thereby addressing the frame problem, and evaluating its applic-ability to larger hardware descriptions, such as a RISC-V implementation.

description: We constrain the strength of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission and the strength of the 2175-angstrom extinction feature for a sample of 44 nearby galaxies. The parameters of interest are constrained using stellar population synthesis models, fit to photometric spectral energy distributions using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. While the 2175-angstrom extinction feature is in general poorly constrained in our data set, analysis reveals a positive correlation between the strength of this extinction feature and the PAH fraction of a galaxy. This correlation suggests that PAHs could be the dust particle responsible for the 2175-angstrom feature, as has been previously theorized. However, further analysis will be necessary to determine whether another galaxy characteristic could cause the two parameters to covary.

description: "King Lear," like all great tragedies, is surely designed to entertain and illuminate, not to depress an audience – as too many interpretations argue. Lear abdicates to ensure the future of Cordelia, from excessive love of virtue and justice, the violation of which initially drives him mad - with rage - but he progressively goes sane, learning true concern for others.

description: Bladeless fans are well known for their unique shape and efficient performance, which have a great impact on the fan industry. At present, there are few studies on the bladeless fan and the research on the improvement of fan design is a lack. Therefore, the study on the performance of the bladeless fan with different design is the main purpose of this thesis. In the present study, a bladeless fan prototype is created and studied by numerical simulations. When characterizing the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performances of the bladeless fan, the entire fan prototype, including wind channel, base, rotor and stator, is adopted; when investigating the influence of the wind channel's geometric parameters, only wind channel is considered in simulations. The influence of the slit width, the height of the cross-section, the slit location and the profile of the cross-section are studied.
It is found that the flow outside the bladeless fan consists of the air blown out from the wind channel and entrained from the back and side of the fan. The air entrained from the side is the main source of flow rate increase. As for the aeroacoustic performance, the rotor and stator inside the base are the predominated source of the noise generated by the bladeless fan. The performances of the bladeless fan are very sensitive to the geometric details of the wind channel. The generated noise always increases as the wind strength improves. The slit width of the wind channel has the greatest impact. With the slit moves away from the leading edge, the wind produced by the bladeless fan becomes more powerful and the noise becomes louder. The cross-sectional height of 4cm has the best aerodynamic performance but the generated noise is a little larger than other designs. The profile of the cross-section shows insignificant influence on the performances.

'High-Speed Enlightenment.’ Latin American literature and the new medium of periodicals
Creators: name: Goldgel-Carballo, Victor
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Latin American literature
subject: Latin Americans--Social life and customs
subject: Sixteenth century
subject: Seventeenth century
subject: Eighteenth century

description: Drawing upon studies of media history and print culture, this article analyzes the relationship among early-nineteenth-century Latin American periodicals, literary institutions, and new experiences of time and history. Framing these periodicals as a new medium which boomed during and immediately after the wars of independence, it underscores their impact upon forms of reading and writing, as well as their importance for concurrent and later debates on the norms governing literary institutions, including the status and definition of literature. Ultimately, this new medium gave rise not only to a new prose which was described as accelerated and therefore ‘modern’ but also to new forms of discursive authority and to an unprecedented legitimacy for literary genres such as the novel. As such, this article departs from the nation-building paradigms that have governed studies of the Latin American nineteenth century, establishing instead a dialog between periodicals of the whole region, with an emphasis on Cuba, Chile, and the Rio de la Plata.
PROTEIN SELF-MARKING BY EMERALD ASH BORER: AN EVALUATION OF EFFICACY AND PERSISTENCE
Creators: name: Gula, Scott
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Horticultural crop protection (incl. pests, diseases and weeds)

description: Understanding the dispersal ability of invasive insects provides useful insights for developing effective management strategies. Historically, methods for marking insects for dispersal studies have been expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, especially for woodboring beetles. In addition, capturing or rearing insects requires human handling, which can alter behavior. Immunomarking is a well-established technique for studying the dispersal of insects, however, it has not been broadly applied to woodborers. This study evaluates the potential for using immunoproteins applied directly to woodborer-infested trees to mark emerging beetles. Specifically, in the first experiment I sprayed varying concentrations of ovalbumin (egg white) solution directly onto logs infested with emerald ash borer (EAB, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) (Buprestidae: Agrilini) and ELISA was used to detect the presence of protein on emerged beetles. To test the persistence of the mark, I applied varying concentrations of albumin to freeze-killed beetles, mounted them on pins, and placed them in an exposed location outdoors. Adult EAB self-marked as they emerged from protein-treated trees, with higher protein concentrations persisting for longer on the cuticle when exposed to sun and rain. This technique offers a convenient, inexpensive and durable means of marking woodborers and circumvents the need for human handling, allowing for more natural behavior and more realistic estimates of dispersal. Protein self-marking may find application in studies of woodborer dispersal within natural forest environments.

description: Introdução: Cigarro eletrônico, dispositivo para fumar contendo substâncias químicas aquecidas e diluídas em um refil líquido, resultou em problemas cardiorrespiratórios manifestados principalmente a partir de 2019, com o surgimento da EVALI, comprometendo a qualidade de vida de seus usuários. Objetivo: Analisar se o cigarro eletrônico compromete a qualidade de vida dos usuários. Metodologia: Estudo transversal, prospectivo, quantitativo e de centro único, realizado com 33 participantes que fazem ou já fizeram uso do cigarro eletrônico, por meio dos questionários de Qualidade de Vida SF-36 (Medical Outcomes Study 36 – Item Short – Form Health Survey), sociodemográfico e Teste de Fargestrom adaptado junto a plataforma online Google Forms. Resultados: Dos 33 participantes que fazem ou já fizeram uso do cigarro eletrônico, 2 foram excluídos por histórico de doença pulmonar, permanecendo, 31 até o final da coleta. Os scores do questionário SF-36 demonstraram declínio considerável na qualidade de vida desses usuários, em relação à população brasileira, além do que a média de faixa etária encontrada (24.4 anos) sugere que este hábito está sendo adquirido cada vez mais precocemente na vida dos jovens brasileiros. Discussão: No decorrer da análise das médias dos domínios da qualidade de vida dos usuários de cigarro eletrônico, identificou-se menores valores em comparação com a média de qualidade de vida da população brasileira presentes no estudo de Laguardia et al. (2013), destacando-se o domínio de aspectos emocionais. Conclusão: O estudo infere influência negativa na qualidade de vida dos usuários de cigarro eletrônico, no que diz respeito aos aspectos físicos, emocionais e em relação ao nível de dependência e sintomatologia, os quais acabam por aparecer com o uso a longo prazo.
"Alien autographs: how translators make their marks"
Creators: name: G. Kellman, Steven
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Comparative literature
subject: Translating and interpreting

description: Like other forms of treachery, translation can be either concealed or exposed. Though most literary translators work in the dark and some embrace invisibility as an ideal, all translations can be situated along the continuum of illusionist-anti-illusionist or domesticating-foreignizing. A variety of paratexts lay bare the devices of translation. The zero degree of translational invisibility occurs in utilitarian prose that is designed simply to convey information. But the minimal way for a book to make translation visible is to identify the name of the translator, on the title page if not on the cover and spine. A long tradition of translator’s prefaces further undercuts the illusion of unmediated contact with a pure, primal text. So, too, do the memoirs of translators. Second-degree translations can both display and conceal the derivative nature of the final text. If there are reasons—such as vanity or commerce—to disguise a text’s origins in translation, there are also reasons for pseudo-translations, texts that falsely claim to be translations. More than just an appendix to an Englishing of the Iliad and the Odyssey, Keats’s “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer” is a poet’s tribute to the power of translation.
