“A New Myth to Live By”: The Graphic Vision of Kathy Acker

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract While contemporary narrative structure continues to represent a predominantly male experience of the hero's journey through the maze, or labyrinth, which represents a search for meaning, or truth, female experience is limited to that of being helper or hindrance, sex object or ego mirror. Even if there is no getting beyond or breaking free of a Western, Oedipal model of narrative as literature now exists and continues to evolve, there may to be way to write which, as passionately and bravely as Kathy Acker's narratives seek, integrates the graphic "languages of the body" into the analytical world of the mind: where the author may die or disappear, but the writer merges with the reader, and the act of searching is the meaning. The novels, Blood and Guts in High School, Empire of the Senseless, and collection of essays, Bodies of Work, together mark moments that verily explode and pulse in the body as well as the mind. In Acker's work, which draws heavily on the avant-garde, the surreal, and the "cut-up," collage style popularized by William S. Burroughs, the female subject struggles for her subjecthood, and the labyrinth is much less conflated with the analytical and more an analogue for the body. Through "violent play" and out of a desire to challenge the Oedipal frame of narrative that surrounds her, Acker slices through the "no man's land" of the unconscious: she, as well as her protagonists, traipse up and down the texts' crumbling steps, which evoke multilayered labyrinths, wherein pieces of the structure are missing, in ruins, and paths are overgrown with reiterative, weed-like language. My article explores how Acker's narratives ask us to consider what new ways of writing and being are possible in a world where a graphic text—that which spills out, is visual, is spatial, is body, is nature, is feminine, is felt—can exist.

A negation-free version of the Berry paradox

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

be forced to perform it. But that supposition is precisely equivalent to the proposition that Steiner wants to prove, namely, that every right carries with it a power to enforce. The false claim that every right entails a corresponding power needs to be distinguished from two other claims that are more likely to be true. The first is that it is not accidental, but something like a conceptual truth, that most rights carry powers with them. In understanding what a right is, in other words, one also understands that in paradigm cases the right-holder is able to choose whether or not to enforce his right. But this is of course compatible with recognising the existence of non-paradigm cases where the power to enforce is lacking.1 The second is that creatures incapable of exercising powers are by the same token incapable of possessing rights. To exercise a power one must be able to distinguish actions which violate one's rights from other (possibly equally unwelcome) actions which do not, and then be capable of issuing a moral or legal demand for reparation. It would be incongruous to attribute primary rights to creatures lacking these capacities, since their moral status could be described entirely in terms of the duties owed to them by others. This is why animals are properly said to lack rights. Does anything of substance follow from this ? Steiner's view entails, inter alia, that future generations have no rights against us, since they necessarily lack the powers to enforce that would correspond to those rights. Anyone who believes that our obligations to our descendents need to be spelt out in terms of their rights ought to be relieved that the view in question is false.
Understanding rider:horse bodyweight ratio trends, weight management practices and rider weight perceptions within leisure and amateur riders in the UK

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Horse riders in the UK have a legal responsibility for the welfare of the horses in their care, outlined by the Animal Welfare Act (2006). Understanding weight management factors that influence rider: horse bodyweight (RHBW) ratio is key to safeguarding horse welfare as human obesity rates increase. Recent high-profile incidents have seen riders being asked to dismount for being too heavy, demonstrating an awareness of the possible impact of excessive rider weight, threatening the equestrian industry’s social licence to operate. This study investigated RHBW trends within the UK leisure and amateur rider population to understand rider perception of ‘ideal’ RHBW and factors influencing rider and horse weight management. An online survey (SurveyMonkey®) was distributed via UK equine-related Facebook™ groups and collected information on horse and rider demographics, rider weight management strategies and respondents’ views on the importance of rider weight on horse welfare. Kruskal-Wallis analyses with Mann Whitney U post-hoc tests identified whether differences in respondent views differed between RHBW groups. A total of 971 riders completed the survey; respondents were aged between 18-65+ years old and 88% (n=953) were experienced riders. RHBWs were calculated for 764 (79%) of respondents as 21.2% (n=206) did not know either their own and/or their horses’ weight. Weight tapes (44.5%; n=432) and weigh bridges (29.5%; n=286) were common horse weight estimation methods. RHBWs ranged from 4.9% to 21.88%, mean: 12.5%±2.7%. Riders with lower RHBW thought about their own weight less and measured their horses’ weight less often than those with higher ratios ( P <0.005, P <0.0004, respectively). The majority of riders who participated were weight conscious and recognised potential detrimental impacts associated with increased rider weight. Development of RHBW guidelines supported by equestrian governing bodies would highlight the need for riders to consider the impact of weight and support them in choosing suitable horses.
Control of Tumor Suppressor p53 Function by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Alterations in the homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by various forms of stress can lead to the accumulation of unfolded proteins and protein aggregates that are detrimental to cell survival. Eukaryotic cells can adapt to ER stress by activating specific signaling pathways and mechanisms, whose primary purpose is to limit the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER. We recently reported a novel mechanism of cell adaptation to ER stress, which proceeds through the inhibition of the apoptotic function of the tumor suppressor p53 (Genes Dev 2004;18:261-277). We found that ER stress increases the cytoplasmic localization and enhances the destabilization of the tumor suppressor. This process requires the phosphorylation of p53 at serine 315 and serine 376, which is mediated by the activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). ER stress also prevents p53 activation and p53-mediated apoptosis in response to DNA damage. These findings demonstrate that ER stress utilizes mechanisms that are distinct from other types of stress to modulate p53. In addition, they reveal that ER stress and nuclear DNA damage can induce inter-organellar cross-talk pathways targeting p53 with important implications for the treatment of tumors with dysfunctional ER.
Sidewall penetration of dislocations in ion-implanted bipolar transistors

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Phosphorus-doped emitters have been formed by either conventional diffusion or implantation, anneal, and drive-in processes. Transmission electron microscopy and measurements of transistor characteristics were made to evaluate the two processes. Comparison of structures with similar dislocation densities indicated that the dislocations in the implanted structures penetrated the emitter-base sidewall, whereas the dislocations in the diffused structure were confined to the emitter region. The transistor with extended dislocations exhibited high leakage current and excess popcorn noise generating.
Ultrasonographic differentiation of painful hip in developmental age

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction The most common diseases in the group of painful hip are transient synovitis, rheumatoid arthritis, infective (septic) arthritis, Perthes disease and slipping of the upper femoral epiphysis. Methodology: The algorhythm covers the first and control examinations in certain time intervals (after: 3-7, 7-15, 21-30 days; as well as 2-4 months). Results and discussion The most frequent feature of painful hip is transient synovitis with 65%, Perthes disease with 13 %, septic arthritis with 6%, rheumatoid arthritis and slipping of the upper femoral epiphysis with 2.5%.The ratio boys and girls was 2.3:1. The average age in the group of the painful hip was 6.8 years, in the group of TS 6.5years. The most frequent clinical signs were limping in 84.2% and hip pain in 79.6%.Through the follow up period the difference of the anterior capsular distance was established for symptomatic hip: the average value on the first exam was 8.1 mm, and on the final exam 4.7 mm 3.6 mm. In transient synovitis, there was no difference in measured values of the anterior and lateral femoral head distance for both hips. The medial duration of synovial effusion, measured ultrasonographically, was 10.6 days, and the duration of the clinical signs was 8.7 days. The prolongated synovitis was recorded in 17.6%, and Perthes disease in 8.4%. The average value of anterior capsular distalnce in these patients was 5.4mm. In group of Perthes disease the values of anterior capsular distance during control examinations showed increase that implicated the lateralisation or extrusion of the femoral head. The values of anterior distance of the femoral head were without significant difference. Conclusion The ultrasonography should be the method of choice in painful hip differentiation regardless of the age. The ultrasonography can replace radiography safely in the primary diagnostic procedure as well as through the control examination.
Transcranial Contralateral Routing of the Signal as a Fitting Option for Patients with Single-Sided Deafness

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Patients with single-sided deafness (SSD) often report difficulty recognizing speech when the signal is on the side of the poorer ear. As discussed in this issue of Seminars in Hearing, several fitting options are available for patients with SSD. One option that could take on greater interest due to advancements in multichannel feedback management, noise reduction, and directional microphones is the transcranial contralateral routing of the signal (TCROS). This article reviews previous reports on performance with the TCROS. This article also focuses on the advances in hearing aid technology and how these advances could improve TCROS as a fitting option for patients with SSD. Finally, this article provides information on factors that audiologists should take into consideration for patient and hearing aid selection for TCROS and outlines a procedure to verify performance of TCROS using the real-ear-aided response (REAR) and other real-ear measures (REM).
Measuring individual differences in task‐related motivation in children and adolescents: Development and validation of a new self‐report measure

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Objectives Task characteristics can alter motivation. Understanding how individuals respond to these characteristics is important in understanding how to adapt tasks to increase engagement of individuals with mental health problems. We describe the development of a self‐report questionnaire quantifying individual differences in task‐related motivation—The Child and Adolescent Motivational Profile (CHAMP). We explore the association with externalizing/internalizing problems. Methods A 64‐item prototype scale was designed to measure how children and adolescents perceive the motivational significance of a range of task characteristics ( n = 688; age range: 8–16 years). Parents completed the “Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire” measuring externalizing and internalizing problems (Van Widenfelt, Goedhart, Treffers & Goodman, 2003). Results Exploratory factor analysis identified eight distinct task characteristics that affected motivation: (a) requiring focus, (b) predictable, (c) marked/graded, (d) rewarded, (e) socially evaluated, (f) cognitively challenging, (g) competitive, and (h) collaborative. A 32‐item scale based on these factors was constructed. Internal consistency of each factor was high (Cronbach's alpha: .79–.91), and test–retest reliability was acceptable (SBC = .43–.65). Externalizing and internalizing problems were associated with a distinct motivational profile. Conclusion These results highlight the multidimensional nature of children and adolescents' task‐related motivation for tasks and the differential links to internalizing and externalizing problems.
Practical Lessons from the New Atrial Fibrillation Guidelines

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in the country, and its prevalence is increasing as the U.S. population ages.1 Frequently associated with hypertension and/or coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation results in serious morbidity, mortality, hospitalization and emergency room visits.Since 2000, five clinical trials have been published regarding the question of whether the use of long-term prophylactic therapy with antiarrhythmic drugs to maintain sinus rhythm (rhythm control) in patients with atrial fibrillation results in a better outcome than a strategy aimed at controlling heart rate and anticoagulation appropriate to the atrial fibrillation guidelines (rate control).2-6 In all five trials, there was no improvement in clinical outcome (stroke, death, heart failure, hospitalization) in patients comparing the two strategies.It is useful to focus on the Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management (AFFIRM) trial since it is three-times the size of the other four trials combined.2 AFFIRM studied 4,060 patients to assess the benefits of prophylactic antiarrhythmic therapy, and patients were randomized to either a rate control or rhythm control strategy. Despite the fact that patients in the rhythm control group stayed in sinus rhythm nearly twice as often as the rate control group (62.6% vs. 34.6%), there was no difference in mortality, heart failure or stroke between the two strategies. Although it is still recommended to restore sinus rhythm during a first or second episode of atrial fibrillation, physicians are left with the conundrum of whether to adopt a rate or rhythm control strategy. This review will focus on selected aspects of the updated atrial fibrillation guidelines and the clinical trials impacting these alternatives.7

Toughness Factors Reflections ONM-40 CC by Part Ousting Cement by SCBA & Adding Siyali fibre

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Globally, the concrete is the vastly used material in the construction sector. It is a product of naturally available materials with the some chemical processes that generates solid waste, and GHG gases from the factory that pollutes soil, air and water. The demand for cement is gradually rising due to urbanization, industrialization and modernizations, and augmented it is short supply. The sustainable partial or fully replaced products used for replacement of cement is to be invented to obtain from recycled wastes and must be non-pollutant of atmosphere and ecofriendly. Researches must be made with the low cost waste materials like red mud, GGBS, fly ash and many others. The present research is the ousting element sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a partial replacement of cement. To improve the tensile properties of concrete, attempts are made to add small closely space out and evenly discrete natural organic Siyalifibre with the SCBA concrete which can provide better properties to concrete like crack remover and mends some static/dynamic characteristics of concrete. The concrete composites made from SCBA and Sialifibre are both environment friendly materials having both cementing and fibre reinforcing properties. Present study is to prepare of a concrete composite with a mix design of M40 grade and study compressive, tensile and split tensile strengths. The study should try with a composite concrete with Sialifibre and SCBA at various proportions and verify its crack resistant and strength improving/ deteriorating properties. For the present work of concrete, it is found to be advantageous with 10% ,20% SCBA with a partial substitute of cement and Siyali Fiber at various dosages like 0%, to 2.0% with increment of 0.5%added to cement volume.
EP167 Return to Sport in Professional Athletes with Borderline Hip Dysplasia Following Hip Arthroscopy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in professional athletes is associated with significant improvements in post-operative pain, function and a return to sport rate &gt; 80%. However, the rate of return to sport following hip arthroscopy for FAI in professional athletes with borderline dysplasia is largely unknown. Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to assess return to sport rates exclusively in professional athletes with borderline dysplasia following hip arthroscopy for treatment of FAI. Study Design Retrospective Cohort Methods Forty (42 hips) professional and Olympic athletes with borderline dysplasia (lateral center edge angle (LCEA) 18-25 degrees) underwent hip arthroscopy for FAI between 2005-2022. Return to play was defined as competing in a single professional game of equal level after surgery. Data were retrospectively obtained for each athlete from publicly available sport-specific data sources. Results Of the 42 hips included in this study, 29 (69%, 95% CI [53%,82%]) returned to professional sport at a median of 7.5 months (Range: 3.1-24.3) post-operatively. The mean age at the time of surgery was 28.9 years (Range: 18-53.5). Twenty-one (50%) of the hips had an Outerbridge Grade 3 or 4 defect at the time of surgery, and 10 (24%) underwent a microfracture procedure. Older age (p=0.041) and history of previous hip arthroscopy (p=0.008) were associated with a lower likelihood of return to professional sport. There was no statistically significant association between femoral version, LCEA, alpha angle, the presence of Outerbridge Grade 3 or 4 defect, or minimum joint space and return to sport. Conclusion Professional athletes who undergo hip arthroscopy for FAI in the setting of underlying borderline hip dysplasia demonstrate a 69% return to sport rate at a median of 7.5 months post-operatively, with older age and history of prior hip arthroscopy predictive of lower likelihood of return to sport. Hip arthroscopy for FAI in professional athletes with borderline dysplasia is effective for returning the majority of these athletes to their preoperative level.

The Right to Banality: Interwar Jewish Global Thought between Eastern Europe and the Middle East

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract The global political order that emerged from 1919 inscribed Jews into two distinct legal roles under the League of Nations system: a model national minority in the new nation-states of Eastern Europe, and a virtual national majority in British Mandatory Palestine. Despite extensive scholarship on each of these stories, we know precious little about how they interacted in the interwar Jewish political imagination. In this article I track several key East European Zionist intellectuals through the period between World War I and the aftermath of World War II as they attempted to imagine a new geometry of transnational nationhood via international law. This account of their pursuit of national self-determination beyond sovereignty reveals the promise and limits of interwar Jewish worldmaking and provides an index of the changing meaning of nationhood itself in the interwar period.
Involvement of FvSet1 in Fumonisin B1 Biosynthesis, Vegetative Growth, Fungal Virulence, and Environmental Stress Responses in Fusarium verticillioides

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Fusarium verticillioides (teleomorph, Gibberella moniliformis) is an important plant pathogen that causes seedling blight, stalk rot, and ear rot in maize (Zea mays). During infection, F. verticillioides produce fumonsins B1 (FB1) that pose a serious threat to human and animal health. Recent studies showed that Set1, a methyltransferase of H3K4, was responsible for toxin biosynthesis in filamentous fungi. However, to date, the regulation of FvSet1 on FB1 biosynthesis remains unclear. In the current study, we identified only one Set1 ortholog in F. verticillioides (FvSet1) and found that the deletion of FvSET1 led to various defects in fungal growth and pathogenicity. More interestingly, the FvSET1 deletion mutant (ΔFvSet1) showed a significant defect in FB1 biosynthesis and lower expression levels of FUM genes. FvSet1 was also found to play an important role in the responses of F. verticillioides to multiple environmental stresses via regulating the phosphorylation of FvMgv1 and FvHog1. Taken together, these results indicate that FvSet1 plays essential roles in the regulation of FB1 biosynthesis, fungal growth and virulence, as well as various stress responses in F. verticillioides.
