Devil Is Fine, Devil Is Kind: Slave Spirituals, Satanic Black Metal, and Cultural Appropriation in the Music of Zeal & Ardor

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article explores the relationship between cultural appropriation, musical protest, and African American history, as foregrounded in the music of avant-garde metal band Zeal & Ardor. Under the leadership of mixed-race Swiss-American multi-instrumentalist Manuel Gagneux, the band gained prominence in 2016 for combining the influences of Satanism and Scandinavian black metal with African American spirituals and blues. Such a combination has allowed Zeal & Ardor to creatively engage the violence of African American historical experience and sonically and conceptually explore the possibilities of an alternative account of African American experience under the influence of individualism and self-determination as promoted in Satanic philosophies. This proposition becomes complicated, however, when the Satanic worldview espoused in Scandinavian black metal articulates not only an aggressive critique of Christianity, but also, in a number of instances, the promotion of white supremacist and national socialist worldviews. The resultant combination of these clashing influences is a complex interlinking of musical traditions and ideological positions through which Zeal & Ardor explores cultural appropriation as a form of protest, and ultimately embraces jarring juxtapositions and messy fusion as a necessary mode of artistic expression amid the racial tensions and culture wars of the early twenty-first century.

Mathematical models for the release of drugs from matrix tablets

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A previously derived cubic equation describing the release of drugs from matrix tablets is compared with a more complex equation recently presented. Using data obtained from cylindrical hydrocortisone matrix tablets, it is shown that the simpler cubic equation affords an equally acceptable description of drug release. Because the cubic equation contains a release‐rate constant K r that is independent of tablet shape, a congruency between this equation and other historical models of diffusion may be demonstrated. It is suggested, given the complexity of drug disposition in vivo , that simplicity in modeling is a desirable goal.
A Neuromorphic Dataset for Object Segmentation in Indoor Cluttered Environment

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Taking advantage of an event-based camera, the issues of motion blur, low dynamic range and low time sampling of standard cameras can all be addressed. However, there is a lack of event-based datasets dedicated to the benchmarking of segmentation algorithms, especially those that provide depth information which is critical for segmentation in occluded scenes. This paper proposes a new Event-based Segmentation Dataset (ESD), a high-quality 3D spatial and temporal dataset for object segmentation in an indoor cluttered environment. Our proposed dataset ESD comprises 145 sequences with 14,166 RGB frames that are manually annotated with instance masks. Overall 21.88 million and 20.80 million events from two event-based cameras in a stereo-graphic configuration are collected, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this densely annotated and 3D spatial-temporal event-based segmentation benchmark of tabletop objects is the first of its kind. By releasing ESD, we expect to provide the community with a challenging segmentation benchmark with high quality.

Characterization of patients with bacterial community-acquired pneumoniaadmitted a provincial hospital in Pinar del Rio

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: community-acquired pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma caused by the uncontrolled reproduction of an acquired infectious agent in the out-hospital environment. It is not a unique process, but a group of infections of diverse etiology affecting different people where the condition, the epidemiology, as well as the clinical chart; makes the difference of its prognosis. Objective: o characterize a group of patients hospitalized for bacterial pneumonia acquired in the community. Method: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the Internal Medicine service at Dr. León Cuervo Rubio Teaching Surgical Clinical Hospital, Pinar del Río, from December 2016 to December 2017. The target group consisted of 376 patients, choosing a sample of 300 patients. Results: the age group over 71 years old was the most affected (38,0 %), female sex (58,3 %). Fever outweighed as clinical sign (72,3 %), heart failure (29,3 %) as a risk factor and hypertension (82,3 %) as comorbidity. Decompensate heart failure (56,3 %) was the most frequent complication. Conclusions: patients over 60 years of age and women who suffer from heart failure present a higher risk for community-acquired pneumonia. High blood pressure, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are common comorbidities in these patients. In addition, noninfectious complications such as decompensate heart failure can occur.
Management of soilborne Rhizoctonia disease risk in cropping systems

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Rhizoctonia continues to be an important (average annual cost $59 million with potential costs $165 million, Brennan and Murray, 2009) but complex disease in the southern agricultural region, especially lower rainfall region. The fungus Rhizoctonia solani AG8 is present in Australian soils as part of the microbial community. This pathogenic fungus is a good saprophyte (grows on crop residues and soil organic matter), adapted to dry conditions and lower fertility soils. The aim of this research was to improve our understanding of the interactions between pathogen inoculum levels and natural soil biological activity for long term control of Rhizoctonia and to improve the prediction and management of the disease. A series of multi-year field trials were conducted at sites in SA, Victoria and NSW to determine key soil, environment and management factors influencing the pathogen dynamics and disease impact in cereal crops. These trials were complemented with annual field experiments to investigate the effect of specific management practices including fungicide evaluation.
Induced matter: Curved N-manifolds encapsulated in Riemann-flat N+1 dimensional space

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Liko and Wesson have recently introduced a new five-dimensional induced matter solution of the Einstein equations, a negative curvature Robertson-Walker space embedded in a Riemann-flat five-dimensional manifold. We show that this solution is a special case of a more general theorem prescribing the structure of certain N+1 dimensional Riemann-flat spaces which are all solutions of the Einstein equations. These solutions encapsulate N-dimensional curved manifolds. Such spaces are said to “induce matter” in the submanifolds by virtue of their geometric structure alone. We prove that the N-manifold can be any maximally symmetric space.
Abstract 15001: Cost Effectiveness of ECG Screening for Long QT Syndrome among Infants with Severe to Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction. Previous studies have shown that universal ECG screening of infants or children for long QT syndrome (LQTS) is cost effective in Italy but not in the United States. Infants with congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are at increased risk for LQTS. Hypothesis. Universal ECG screening of infants with severe to profound SNHL for LQTS may be cost-effective in this high risk population. Methods. We conducted ECG screening of infants and children (≤6 years old) with unilateral or bilateral, severe to profound sensorineural or mixed hearing loss in California. The prevalence of LQTS from the statewide screening was used to perform cost effectiveness analysis. We calculated the incremental cost effectiveness of ECG screening by simulating two scenarios: “screening” and “no screening”, for infants ( Results. Three of 523 subjects (0.57%) were found to have LQTS, with prolonged QTc and gene mutations known to cause LQTS. Thus, a prevalence rate of 1 LQTS patient per 174 infants and young children with severe-profound SNHL was used in the analysis. Compared to no screening, life expectancy increases by 15.9 days per infant with SNHL screened by ECG. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of ECG screening is $6,356 per LYG. Sensitivity analyses provide a range of 8.0 - 23.8 days gained per infant with SNHL screened by ECG and a range of incremental cost-effectiveness of $2,803 - $14,178 per LYG. Conclusions. ECG screening of infants with severe to profound SNHL is cost-effective in the U.S. Most infants with congenital SNHL are diagnosed early by state newborn hearing screening programs. Early diagnosis of LQTS by ECG screening in these high risk infants will make possible use of effective treatments to prevent sudden death. ECG screening for LQTS should be performed when severe-profound SNHL is confirmed in infants.

By addressing existing gaps in knowledge, this research provides valuable insights for shaping sustainable energy policies tailored to the unique circumstances of Malaysia.
Exploratory research on the model of creating market orientation in China's banks

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Market-Oriented theory is the cornerstone and central concept of the modern marketing. Much research on market orientation has focused on developing measures of a firm's orientation and identifying antecedents and consequences of a market orientation. However, research on how organizations become more market oriented is surprisingly limited, especially in China. Based on literature review, we conducted our research using ethnographic observation, depth interviews and historical documents in China construction Bank Jilin Branch. After coding and abstracting themes, our analysis reveals a four-stage process of change in creating market orientation. The process consists of four stages, which are Problem arouse, idea initiation, institutionalization and culture forming. The future development of China Construction Bank will be the impact of globalization, competition, changes in technology so that the bank will make a market-oriented theory of incentives in the competition. The result of research enhanced the knowledge about market orientation and help China bank to build market orientation well.
Probiotic and dietary manipulation of the gastrointestinal tract microbiota in beef cattle: towards improved performance under different dietary management in Canadian Prairies

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Microbial symbionts inhabiting the digestive tract of ruminants contribute to a wide range of metabolic functions essential for the survival of host. However, abrupt changes in the composition of diet can adversely affect the composition of these microbial communities, leading to metabolic disorders that could compromise the performance of the animals. Development of frothy bloat following exposure of over-wintered steers to legume pastures and impairment of ruminal fermentation as a result of feeding high-grain diets are common metabolic disorders affecting beef cattle in Canadian Prairies. Mitigation strategies to control these metabolic conditions are mainly based on dietary interventions, providing moderate protection to cattle. Understanding the contribution of microbiota to development of these metabolic conditions would pave the way towards implementing more effective strategies. In the first experiment of this thesis, the effects of supplementing the probiotic strain Propionibacterium acidipropionici P169 on the microbiota and metabolic profile of feedlot cattle receiving a high-grain diet were evaluated. Overall, the data suggest that P169 confers its beneficial effect via favoring the growth of cellulolytic bacteria, thus inhibiting the overgrowth of amylolytic bacteria and subsequent drop in the ruminal pH. In the second experiment, dynamics of rumen microbiota during development of frothy bloat and following administration of mitigating strategies was characterized (i.e., use of mixed alfalfa and sainfoin pasture and supplementing drinking water with Alfasure™). The data suggest that rapid proliferation of amylolytic bacteria following consumption of alfalfa contribute to development of frothy bloat. Dietary interventions used in this study prevented the development of clinal bloat, increased the proportions of cellulolytic bacteria, and alleviated bloat-associated dysbiosis in the composition of rumen microbiota. Finally, the third study evaluated the interrelationships of anaerobic rumen fungi (ARF) and ruminal bacteria in the context of frothy bloat. In general, ARF showed a large number of negative interrelationships with ruminal bacteria in normal rumen conditions. However, development of frothy bloat decreased the total number of relationships between ARF and bacteria, implying a disruption of microbe-microbe interrelationships (i.e., dysbiosis). Collectively, this thesis provides novel insights into the contribution of rumen microbiota to common metabolic disorders of beef cattle.
Research on integrated logistical support systems of medium altitude long endurance UAS

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAS in modern warfare is becoming more and more widespread, which makes the UAS more and more frequently used in warfare. The equipment characteristics of UAS are embodied in the following aspects. The composition of UAS is complex, Ground Stations is distributed deployment, Mission payloads can flexibly change, and the whole system need highly cooperative ability between air and ground. That put forward higher requirements for integrated logistical support system of UAS. Aiming at the unique support characteristics of UAS, this paper constructs the integrated support system of UAS based on the integrated support system of traditional aircraft, which is mainly reflected at five aspects: support organization, support resources, support function, support process and support management. This systems can ensure the integration of all support links in the actual process of UAS support, and meet the operational and mission requirements of UAS to the maximum extent.
Heterotopic pancreas in the jejunum: highlighting the necessity of excision and histopathological confirmation – a case report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is a congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of pancreatic tissue that is anatomically separate from the main pancreatic gland without continuity of the duct system and vascularity. The most frequent locations for this displacement are within the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach, duodenum, and proximal jejunum. Other less common sites include the esophagus, ileum, Meckel diverticulum, biliary tree, mesentery, and spleen. Typically, uncomplicated heterotopic pancreas does not exhibit symptoms, and the lesion is often discovered incidentally during unrelated surgeries, imaging examinations, or autopsy. This report describes a 35-year-old male with a history of corrosive ingestion who presented with dysphagia. During surgical exploration, a tissue measuring 0.7 × 0.5 cm was observed approximately 40 cm from the DJ flexure in the jejunum. The identified tissue was excised and sent in for histopathological examination (HPE). In conclusion, we advise the excision of the ectopic tissue and recommend HPE because the diagnosis of HP cannot be confirmed without a thorough histopathological examination. Despite its rarity, heterotopic pancreas should be included in the differential diagnosis when evaluating gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Note on Stoic Allusions in a Letter by Robert Persons, 12 February 1585

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The English Jesuit Robert Persons (1546–1610) is increasingly regarded as one of the most important figures of the Reformation era in England and a new edition of The Correspondence and Unpublished Papers of Robert Persons, SJ (PIMS, 2018– ) aims to broaden our understanding of his significance in a European perspective. As head of the mission to reconvert his native country to Roman Catholicism, his network of correspondents ranged from Mary Queen of Scots and King James to the Duke of Guise and King Philip, and from his exile in France he journeyed on diplomatic and ministerial visits to Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the Spanish Netherlands.1 Whereas his political machinations continue to spur debate, I would like to comment on some ideas expressed in a letter dated 12 February 1585, relating them to what was a major intellectual trend in Europe at the time; the revival of Roman Stoicism. The letter in question is A164 from ARSI (Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu in Rome), published in a full English translation for the first time in volume one of The Correspondence, covering the period from 1574–88.2 Among the letters exchanged with the Jesuit superior general Claudio Acquaviva, this is the one that has already received most attention, because it offers a rare glimpse into the psychological make-up of the controversial missionary. Hoping that he will never again have to ‘bother’ his superior with requests pertaining to his own ‘personal consolation’, he asks to be allowed to ‘withdraw for a time’ from his worldly engagements so as to subdue his ‘spiritual agitations’ and regain his inner equilibrium.3 Whereas the earlier commentators on this letter have drawn attention partly to the precariousness of his personal situation and partly to his idiosyncratic struggle to reconcile his spiritual and political ends, I would like to point out that the terms used sound quite conventional and that his proposed otium may be taken to allude to the formulations of stoic retreat in works such as Seneca’s De tranquillitate animi and De constantia libri duo (1584) by Justus Lipsius.

Treaty 2Us: the cultural turn in New Zealand education reform and the commerce of curriculum

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

How do Asia Pacific educators make sense of culture in the curriculum in terms appropriate to the twenty-first century? With the advance of globalization, is the idea of a culture (whether national, ethnic, or indigenous) as a way of life sustainable? In such a paradoxical setting where global forces appear to both affirm and undercut local cultures, how can educators navigate and negotiate the global cultural interactions required to make the curriculum an acceptable path for cultural formation? This essay uses a cross-disciplinary form of historical analysis to focus on recent national curriculum reforms in New Zealand in order to explore the present contexts and concepts of culture.
Development of Reduction Method for Residual Stress on Welding of Wheel Using Ultrasonic Vibration : Improvement of Transmission Device of Vibration

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Welding is widely used for many structures. Residual stress is generated near the bead because of locally given heat. Tensile residual stress degrades fatigue strength. Some methods for reduction of residual stress are developed. Residual stress is also generated when wheel is welded. In this paper, a new method for reduction of residual stress using vibration is proposed. As vibration, ultrasonic vibration is used. An improved device for transmission of vibration is used. By using the proposed method, tensile residual stress is reduced.
