description: The film remake has been theorised and examined since it first appeared during Hollywood's Golden Age. Today, cinematic horror remakes have clearly cemented themselves as a commercially viable facet of popular cinema through the release of recycled narratives such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and it's prequel The Beginning (2006), The Hills Have Eyes (2006) and The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007), Halloween (2007), Halloween 2 (2009), Friday the 13th (2009), My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) and The Last House on the Left (2009).
“They don’t call ’em exploitation movies for nothing!”: Joe Bob Briggs and the Critical Commentary on I Spit on Your Grave

description: Film critic Joe Bob Briggs opens his DVD audio commentary for the cult classic rape/revenge film, I Spit On Your Grave (1978), with a simple proposition, "What we're going to decide here is this the most disgusting movie ever made or is it the most feminist movie ever made (sic)?" Directed by Meir Zarchi, I Spit On Your Grave stands as a staple of exploitation cinema, courting considerable controversy in its representation of rape and revenge. With a remake of I Spit On Your Grave already in production, following on from a recent wave of 1970s-era horror remakes (Friday the 13th (2009) and The Last House On The Left (2009) for example), the original I Spit On Your Grave deserves reappraisal as a piece of cinema (or a piece of trash). I Spit On Your Grave was once despised as a "video nasty," which we can see in a print review Briggs wrote concerning its VHS release: "This flick is considered 'the most disgusting movie ever made' by Ebert the Wimp and Siskel the Simp, who went on TV for two, three years tellin [sic] everybody that it makes men want to rape women, which is why the theaters quit running it."

description: The antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of petroleum ether and methanol extracts, fatty acids and methyl esters from leaves of Smilax brasiliensis were evaluated, and the composition of the extracts was determined. Palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids were major components of the extracts. For antioxidant activity, all samples exhibited IC50 values lower than BHT (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol). The extracts, fatty acids and methyl esters from S. brasiliensis presented no toxicity to larvae of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina. Among the purified substances, only methyl linolenate showed toxicity (LD50 = 21.47 μg/mL). This study showed, for the first time, the composition of petroleum ether and methanol extracts from S. brasiliensis leaves, as well as the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of extracts, fatty acids and methyl esters.

description: Utilisation of Anagrus nilaparvatae is a promising and effective method for planthoppers manipulation. Twenty-seven components of remote lemongrass (Cymbopogon distans) oil were identified by GC/MS and nine volatiles were selected for behavioural experiments. In this study, we noted that the remote lemongrass oil was attractive to female A. nilaparvatae at concentrations of 0.1 and 1 mg/L. α-Pinene, β-pinene, eucalyptol, carveol and D-carvone attracted female wasps in the dose-dependent bioassays. Blend 1 (a mixture of eucalyptol, D-carvone, carveol, α-pinene, and β-pinene with ratios of remote lemongrass oil volatiles of 625:80:11:5:3) attracted female wasps at 10 mg/L, while blend 2 (a mixture of the same five volatiles at the same loading ratio) attracted them at 0.1 and 1 mg/L. These results suggested that plant essential oils could be attractants for natural enemies to control pests. The ratios of volatiles in the mixtures affect the attractiveness of the synthetic mixtures.
“Fucking Americans”: Postmodern Nationalisms in the Contemporary Splatter Film

description: In Eli Roth's 2005 film Hostel, two American frat boys and an Icelander are let loose on an archane and sexually licentious Europe. Lured to a hostel in Bratislava, Slovakia by the prospect of nymphomaniac women who just "love Americans," the trio slowly discover they have booked themselves in as victims for a torture chamber where the wealthy live out their sadistic fantasies by creatively murdering innocent tourists. Hostel presents dark images of the flipside of capitalism; a world where the fall of communism has led not to the fruits of capitalist labour but instead plunged Eastern Europe into a terrifying trade where life is easily bought and sold. Part of an ultraviolent wave of splatter films seen as driving a 78% rise in domestic horror box office profits from 2003-2006, Hostel controversially combined dystopian representations of capitalism with the detailed exposition of brutal violence.

description: Despite the interwoven nature of platelet activation and the coagulation system in thrombosis, few studies relate both analysis of protein and cellular parts of coagulation in the same population. In the present study, we use matched ex vivo samples to determine the influences of standard antiplatelet therapies on platelet function and use advanced rheological analyses to assess clot formation. Healthy volunteers were recruited following fully informed consent then treated for 7 days with single antiplatelet therapy of aspirin (75 mg) or prasugrel (10 mg) or with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) using aspirin (75 mg) plus prasugrel (10 mg) or aspirin (75 mg) plus ticagrelor (90 mg). Blood samples were taken at day 0 before treatment and at day 7 following treatment. We found that aspirin plus prasugrel or aspirin plus ticagrelor inhibited platelet responses to multiple agonists and reduced P-selectin expression. Significant platelet inhibition was coupled with a reduction in fractal dimension corresponding to reductions in mean relative mass both for aspirin plus prasugrel (−35 ± 16% change, p = 0.04) and for aspirin plus ticagrelor (−45 ± 14% change, p = 0.04). Aspirin alone had no effect upon measures of clot structure, whereas prasugrel reduced fractal dimension and mean relative mass. These data demonstrate that platelets are important determinants of clot structure as assessed by fractal dimension (df) and that effective platelet inhibition is associated with a weaker, more permeable fibrin network. This indicates a strong association between the therapeutic benefits of antiplatelet therapies and their abilities to reduce thrombus density that may be useful in individual patients to determine the functional relationship between platelet reactivity, eventual clot quality, and clinical outcome. df could represent a novel risk stratification biomarker useful in individualizing antiplatelet therapies.
Their Time Has Come: Bad Cinema Nerds as Late-Capitalist Paradigm

description: Anybody engaged in serious thought about American culture would do well to re-watch the opening scene of Jeff Kanew's directorial magnum opus, Revenge of the Nerds. The sequence introduces Lewis Skolnick and Gilbert Lowell, the eponymous nerds who are leaving their parents' homes to board at college where they will both study computer science. Within the film's first three minutes – which ostensibly depict little more than Lewis and his father collecting Gilbert from a suburban home – Revenge of the Nerds presents a peculiar though telling series of events. Gilbert reveals a well-nigh pathological reluctance to leave his mother and unconvincingly attempts to mask this condition with concern for her wellbeing, he and Lewis laugh about ARVs ("average restroom visits"), and with Lewis' father they crack jokes about genitalia and speculate that soon their greatest concern as "college men" will be "getting laid."

description: Housing and health issues can vary over time and between populations. The elderly population is increasing worldwide. Yet only limited information exists about housing conditions: changes over time, and the relationships between health and safety among the elderly. Based on repeated surveys (2007 and 2011), housing and health issues in Finland were assessed, especially among the elderly (more than 65 years old). From various housing factors studied, the largest differences between surveys were in thermal comfort. From the six outcomes studied – satisfaction with the dwelling, maintenance, indoor air quality (IAQ), perceived safety, general health, and sleeping difficulties – only satisfaction with the dwelling had significant temporal variation. Modelling the outcomes led to a selection of variables that were significantly associated with the outcomes. The models’ sensitivity was 65–81% for perceived safety and satisfaction with the dwelling, maintenance, and IAQ, whereas it was only 5% for sleeping difficulties and 32% for general health status. Among the elderly, higher odds ratios (ORs) were found for the associations between housing satisfaction and non-elevated radon concentrations, accessibility, dwelling size, and stuffy odour, as compared with the total population sample. The results are useful for developing policies that increase wellbeing, and for building owners wishing to increase housing satisfaction among occupants.
Snakes on a Plane and the prefabricated cult film

description: The "cult" film, and as a subset of this, the "bad" film, have been the focus of increased discussion and interest both in fan and academic circles over the past few decades. As Ernest Mathijs and Xavier Mendik reveal in their editorial introductions of the 2008 book "The Cult Film Reader", since the 1980s there has been a vast increase in the numbers and types of films which receive the label of cult. This growth reflects both an increase in the audience reception and identification with films as cult and the reflection of this cult viewership by a development of serious academic interest in the reading of various films as cult or paracinematic. Mathijs and Mendik's collection of articles in the aforementioned reader highlights the most recent trend in this "cult" phenomenon, attempting to discern a specific under- standing of what falls within the classification of cult film. While the articles assembled in the collection reveal a multitude of approaches to the cult film, from the ontological to the phenomenological, the focus on intertextuality and genre to the cultural position and experience of the event, a central theme to the understanding of what produces a cult reading or cult following of a film presents itself: namely, that such definitions of cult film rely on or assume the presence of a film object.

description: We isolated seven spathidiids from various terrestrial habitats in Korea: Enchelys megaspinata sp. nov.; Spathidium ascendens Wenzel, 1955; S. papilliferum Kahl, 1930; S. polynucleatum (Foissner et al., 2002) comb. nov.; S. rectitoratum Kahl, 1930; S. securiforme Kahl, 1930 stat. nov.; and Apobryophyllum schmidingeri Foissner and Al-Rasheid, 2007. Their vegetative and resting cyst morphology were studied in vivo and after protargol impregnation. Their phylogenetic relationships were inferred from the analysis of 18S rRNA gene and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region sequences. Enchelys megaspinata is nested within the Semispathidium breviarmatum cluster. It differs from all multi-macronucleate congeners either by the number of macronuclear nodules and ciliary rows or by the presence of prominent spines on resting cysts. Both morphological and molecular data support species-level status for S. rectitoratum and S. securiforme. Although S. papilliferum is one of the morphologically most distinct spathidiids due to the presence of oral bulge papillae, it is non-monophyletic. Based on molecular analyses, we suggest reassigning the morphologically transitional S. ascendens and S. polynucleatum, both formerly combined with Epispathidium, to the genus Spathidium. Korean and German populations of Apobryophyllum schmidingeri are highly similar, both morphologically and genetically. The present study highlights the complexity of spathidiid taxonomy, which requires a combination of morphological and molecular approaches to resolve. www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:781F932B-97D1-4B15-9E35-602DC6D3AE67

description: The form of Western mainstream film is the crux of its ideological efficiency: by using established formal techniques, films ensure audiences understand that aesthetic decisions support and clarify the narrative to ensure maximum spectatorial satisfaction. However, some films exploit their formal aesthetics in order to prevent clarification, thwarting satisfaction in favour of viewing practices that can be considered perverse in that they withhold, suspend or obstruct immediate pleasure.

description: Natural attenuation of PAH in sediments is usually slow due to prevailing anaerobic conditions in sediments. Electrochemical stimulation of PAH biodegradation is proposed and demonstrated for remediation of contaminated sediment. Two graphite electrodes were placed horizontally at different depths in PAH-spiked sediments; the cathode was near the water-sediment interface and the anode was laid in the deeper sediment. An external power of 2 V was continuously applied to the electrodes to stimulate PAH biodegradation. Redox potential around the anode in powered reactors increased gradually, and was 50–150 mV higher than that in the control. pH around the anode decreased to ∼6 from an initial value of 6.4 or 6.7 in powered reactors, which reflected water electrolysis. Phenanthrene concentration at the anode decreased with time, showing a unique Z-shaped profile in the sediment in powered reactors. PAH degrading genes around the anode in powered reactor were found to increase compared to the control reactor, which provided microbial evidence of biodegradation. These findings demonstrated the capability of this novel bioelectrochemical technology for the remediation of PAH-contaminated sediment.
The Other Side of Indonesia: New Order’s Indonesian Exploitation Cinema as Cult Films

description: This articles explores how Indonesian film industry employed subversive and exploitative techniques to struggle against a dominant order. In particular, it discusses how the Indonesian exploitation films produced under the New Order Regime positioned their villains and criminals as symbols of the Suharto government, and how local and international fan activity and targeted DVD distribution has subsequently attained cult classification for many of these films. The films under consideration were produced and released in Indonesian cinemas during Suharto's New Order Regime (1966-1998). During this time nobody dared to voice their differences or criticize the government, without fear of being silenced or 'disappearing.' Nowadays the Indonesian people have more freedom to express their opinion although it may be different from, or even against, the government. The strongest period for this genre was approximately twenty years before the Reform Movement which led to the downfall of the Suharto government. These films were neglected and abandoned, and many of them vanished. They are largely considered marginal or 'bad' movies in Indonesia, however there are some local and devoted fans that still find and watch these films. This topic will be discussed later in this paper.

description: This vision of the post-World War II American adolescent is a familiar one within discussions of teen culture and identity in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It evokes the ever-familiar popular culture representations of the tormented teenagers Jim and Judy (James Dean and Natalie Wood) of Nicholas Ray's 1955 film Rebel Without a Cause, or the provocative hip-swinging Elvis Presley and his hysterical fans. The body of the teenager as a site of resistance and control is also at the heart of the seemingly conservative representation of the 1950s adolescent found in short educational films of the period. These oft-derided and ignored screen images of youth also need to be considered when reflecting on our conceptions of American adolescence of the mid-twentieth century. Aimed largely at the increasingly visible American adolescent of the postwar period, these short educational films range from droll instructional pieces providing advice on appropriate personal hygiene and dating etiquette to more graphic traffic safety films featuring documentary footage of accident scenes. What links this seemingly disparate group of films is their intention of instructing American adolescents on how to become successful members of American society. On face value these films encourage conformity to the social conventions of the adult world, but in doing so they inadvertently acknowledge a life less ordinary. Therefore these films are ambivalent visions of life in postwar America dependant on a tension between the banal and the threatening.

description: Can you make a film about the aftermath of incest and child abuse and its effect on three generations of women in the same family? Would this film contain an inherited ghost running through the narrative that could represent repressed feelings of "colonial" guilt on another level? Could this film prick the conscience of a nation that might be shuddering in silence for all its past sins? Would you get funding for this film from an Australian funding agency if you didn't have a track record? Would this very serious film fill cinemas – especially Australian ones? Could you get international profile actors to star in your film? Or would Australian film actors like Gracie Otto, Susie Porter, and Wendy Hughes be interested enough to become involved and, moreover, respect your vision? And, last, but most importantly, as an emerging filmmaker, could you be guaranteed complete control over your creative decisions?

description: Context: Ma Huang Tang (MHT) has been used to treat influenza, fever, bronchial asthma, etc. as a traditional Chinese medication. However, the anti-inflammation mechanism of MHT remains unclear. Objective: The study identifies the possible mechanisms of MHT on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced acute bronchial asthma in mice. Materials and methods: First, an asthma-related protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. And then, the acute bronchial asthma mice models were established by exposing to aerosolized 1% ovalbumin for 30 min/day for 1 week, and the mice were administered 2.0, 4.0, or 8.0 g/kg of MHT daily. To evaluate therapeutic effect, sensitization time, abdominal breathing time, eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and tissue and trachea pathology were examined. Related genes were measured using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). The expression levels of TLR9 in lung and trachea tissues were determined by immunohistochemical staining. Results: MHT had a LD50 = 19.2 g/kg against asthma, while MHT at high doses (8 g/kg) effectively extended the sensitization time and abdominal breathing time and alleviated OVA-induced eosinophilic airway inflammation and mitigated pathological changes. The RNA-seq assay showed that the high-dose MHT resulted in a significant decrease in the levels of TLR9, TRAF6, TAB2, etc. in the lung tissue. Immunohistochemical assay confirmed the down-regulated of TLR9. Molecular docking revealed that six MHT compounds potentially mediated the TLR9 signaling pathway. Discussion and conclusions: MHT could mitigate the pathological changes of acute asthma-like syndrome through inhibition of the TLR9 pathway. Results of this study may provide a reference for the development of a novel therapy for patients with allergic asthma.
Horror-Ritual: Horror Movie Villains as Collective Representations, Uncanny Metaphors and Ritual Transgressors
Creators: name: Rodriguez, Mario

description: This paper explores the ritual function of horror movie villains from multiple perspectives within ritual studies, with particular emphasis on the functionalist branch and Roy Rappaport's definition that ritual is "the performance of more or less invariant sequences of formal acts and utterances not entirely encoded by performers." First, the paper considers the ways in which horror movie villains are hybrid collective representations in the sense of French sociologist Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) and uncanny metaphors mobilised through media as described by Steven Schneider. Second, a Neo-functionalist analysis of ritual defines the reinforcement of binary categories (child/adult, human/divine, war/peace, and so on) as a fundamental aspect of rituals. We can elaborate the notion of the ritual bi- nary to then demonstrate the multiple ways in which the horror movie villain transgresses these to fulfill his or her ritual role. Third, the paper elaborates six specific ways in which horror movie villains transgress social binaries, such as those of gender, the space of the body, and life and death. The function of horror villains as transgressors gives them a critical, ritual role in horror movies from a functionalist ritual perspective: to reconstitute binaries. Fourth, according to Carolyn Marvin and David Ingle it is the job of media to perform ritual re-presentation of the original blood sacrifice of soldiers who died for the nation, a blood sacrifice that replenishes the Durkheimian totem of the US flag. Horror villains could be perceived as one such media re-presentation. This section builds further evidence for horror villains as both collective representations and ritual transgressors. The paper concludes with a comparison of the fates of anti-heroes in two films from the new ultra-violent genre of horror (that is, "torture-porn") with two recent Academy Award-winning films to understand how the villain as construction for ritualised punishment may be changing.

description: The recent attention given to American B movies tends to overlook Australia's own industry of Badness. For devotees of Bad cinema, The Glenrowan Affair (Rupert Kathner, 1951) is a true gem. Based on the exploits of bushranger Ned Kelly, and promoted as a "serious drama," Eric Reade laughed, "if the picture had been billed as a comedy it would have done better business." To investigate why The Glenrowan Affair is so utterly, terribly and awfully Bad, this paper will discuss its relationship with the industry of Kelly cinema, as well as Kathner's oeuvre, which has recently inspired the docudrama Hunt Angels (Alec Morgan, 2006).

description: In his introduction to The Dread of Difference: Gender and the Horror Film, Barry Keith Grant notes that Siegfried Kracauer's From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film is the book that inaugurated an interest in looking at more specific historical and social contexts to explain the functions that particular films have during certain periods of time. From Caligari to Hitler—originally published in 1947—argues that the characters and stories on a nation's screens can be symptomatic of wider, social dispositions, and that films themselves can reflect, and even influence the course of future events. In Kracauer's case, 1920s Weimar cinema carried the spectre of German fascism.

description: The employment of 2-(imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)phenol (HIPP) in ZnII and CoII coordination chemistry is reported. A series of complexes of compositions, [Zn(HIPP)2Cl2] (1), [Zn2(IPP)4] (2), [Co2(HIPP)4(SO4)2] (3), [Co3(IPP)6] (4), and [Co2(IPP)2(CH3COO)2]n (5), have been synthesized via choosing appropriate metal salts and different solvents. Complexes of various nuclearities are obtained from mono-, di-, trinuclear complexes to 1-D chain polymer. UV–vis absorption properties have been investigated and rationalized by density functional theory and time-dependent DFT calculations. In addition, luminescence studies suggested strong emissions for 1, 2, and 3 in the solid state at room temperature. Variable temperature (2.0–300 K) magnetic studies for 3, 4, and 5 indicate weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the metal centers in 3 and 5, and weak ferromagnetic CoII⋯CoII exchange interactions in 4.

description: Roland Barthes's interest in photography began at a very early stage in his career. Indeed, several texts in Mythologies, one of his first major works, and published in 1957, are dedicated to the role of photography in French society of the 1950s. At this time, Barthes was interested in the potential of the photograph as a powerful mass communication medium used, for example, to glorify Hollywood actors. In the following years, his work focused mainly on advertising and press photography, with articles such as "The Photographic Message" (1961) and "Rhetoric of the Image" (1964), in which he analyses the ways in which pictures convey meaning. At this stage, he conceived the photograph as a fundamentally ambivalent and paradoxical object, involving the "co-existence of two messages", "the one without a code" (pure denotation), and "the other with a code" (that is to say a whole range of connotations).

A Re-evaluation of Literature in Active and Critical Audience Studies

Subjects: subject: 200599 Literary Studies not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Languages and literature

description: The debate in audience studies between what are often termed "active audience theory" or "interpretive audience studies" and "critical audience studies" generally reflects broader debates around structure and agency. At the centre of the discussion then are questions about the audience's power to actively read texts and make their own meanings from them and the structural and textual limits imposed upon this process. These various arguments vary between celebrations of textual polysemy and pessimistic prognoses of structural determination. The debate is often a convoluted one, carried out on shifting grounds with complex and intertwining concepts. Depending on which literature is read, the same authors are portrayed as active audience proponents or critical media researchers.

description: Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) belongs to the malvaceae family. Its calyx is used for making jellies, jams, and beverages. Despite it usefulness, there are few or no studies on the purification and structural identification of HAs and Roselle extracts. This paper therefore seeks to investigate the purification and structural identification of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. extracts, and to evaluate their antioxidant activities on DPPH and ABTS and anti-tumor activities on human cervical cancer HeLa cells of purified fractions. Two fractions (fraction 1 and fraction 2) from Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) extracts were purified with C-18 Sep-Pak cartridge, followed by Sephadex LH-20 column and characterized by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. The contents of the anthocyanins in fraction 1 and fraction 2 were 863.41 mg/g and 617.35 mg/g, respectively. Nine compounds were identified with HPLC-ESI-MS/MS, seven of which have not been reported before in Roselle. Two fractions and HAs-rich extracts purified with C-18 Sep-Pak cartridge showed high capacity on radicals scavenging and HeLa cells inhibition in a dose-dependent manner. The orders of both activities were: fraction 1 > fraction 2 > HAs-rich extracts. IC50 values of fraction 1 on DPPH and ABTS radicals were 17.14 ± 2.24 μg/mL and 85.91 ± 6.72 μg/mL, respectively. The cell inhibition ratio of fraction 1 against HeLa cells reached 83.67 ± 3.07% at the concentration of 200 μg/mL. Two fractions and HAs-rich extracts could be a good supplements for natural antioxidant and anti-tumor activities.

description: Nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-damo) is a recently discovered new microbial process performed by the Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera with an unusual intra-aerobic pathway, but there is no report about n-damo bacteria in marine environments. M. oxyfera-like sequences were successfully retrieved for the first time from both surface and subsurface ocean sediments of the South China Sea (SCS) using both 16S rRNA and pmoA genes as biomarkers and PCR amplification in this study. The majority of M. oxyfera-like 16S rRNA gene-based PCR amplified sequences from the SCS sediments formed a new group distinctively different from those detected in freshwater habitats and the information is consistent phylogenetically with those obtained from the pmoA gene. This study showed the existence of n-damo in ocean sediments and suggests that marine sediments harbor n-damo phylotypes different from those in the freshwater. This finding here expands our understanding on the distribution of n-damo bacteria to marine ecosystem and implies their potential contribution to the marine C and N cycling.

description: Electronic learning (e-learning) is now a global phenomenon, with institutions competing for market share. E-learning is defined by Meredith and Burkle as "learning facilitated by internet and www technologies, delivered by way of end-user computing, that creates connectivity between people and information, and creates opportunities for social learning approaches." This shift towards e-learning provides an alternative to, or augments, traditional face-to-face academic environments and text-based correspondence-style distance education.
