Abstract:
This chapter discusses Regina's decades-long battle with the New York Public Library (NYPL). For all that she was doing for the NYPL, Regina believed that she was neither being paid a wage that recognized her contributions nor being afforded the opportunities for promotion she deserved. Her relationship with Ernestine Rose deteriorated as Regina frequently asked W. E. B. Du Bois, representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to intervene on her behalf with the NYPL administration. In order to understand Du Bois' involvement with Regina, the chapter examines his earlier dispute with the NYPL administration on behalf of librarian Catherine Latimer—the first African American librarian in the system. Du Bois was particularly galled by the situation at NYPL, which limited African American librarians to a few branches.

Full text
Abstract:
W. E. B. Du Bois’s “The Conservation of Races” has greatly shaped contemporary philosophy of race, and one of the ways in which it has this effect is through the debate between Kwame Anthony Appiah and Lucius Outlaw. Du Bois, Appiah, and Outlaw all offer important perspectives on the value of racial identity. Appiah’s article helped stimulate debates about the nature and existence of race that remain central to philosophy of race today. The “Appiah-Outlaw debate” has often been treated as the most important instance of the conflict over “Conservation.” Through evolution on Appiah’s part, there has been a shift from sharp disagreement to significant consensus.

This chapter presents excerpts from two interviews conducted by the author. The first took place on September 19, 2006, two days before the premiere of Lars von Trier's The Boss of It All at the Copenhagen International Film Festival. The second took place on October 3, 2007, which followed up the discussion of The Boss of It All begun in the first interview. Topics covered in these interviews include Trier's interest in Japanese horror movies; how he feels about opening The Boss of It All at the Copenhagen International Film Festival; his sources of inspiration; some of the jokes about Denmark, Iceland that Americans might not get, given that The Boss of It All is one of his most Danish films; and differences between European and American capitalism.

Full text
Abstract:
There is a correlation between intensionality and syntax: intensionality manifests itself with all clausal complement constructions. For example, “Max imagined that Boris was approaching”. Although pervasive, there are apparent counterexamples. Sentences featuring intensional transitive verbs such as “Max wanted Boris” and “John imagined a unicorn”, exhibit intensionality effects but do not appear to have clausal complements. This chapter defends a view of intensional transitive constructions which is intuitive and quite familiar, but one which has also been widely discounted. Specifically, the defense is of the proposal deriving from Quine and Montague that despite surface appearances, intensional transitive constructions are not transitives at all, but rather clausal complement constructions containing concealed material.

Abstract:
Many supporters of all-black male schools (ABMS) argue that they reduce black boys’ exposure to racist, “overly” feminized teachers. In casting black boys as victims of intersecting racial and gendered oppression, these supporters -- many of whom are black males -- demand an end to racism in the classroom and do so on the sexist assumption that women teachers are emasculating. This rationale for ABMS raises two questions that feminist theory has lost sight of. Why do oppressed groups articulate their experience in ways that challenge and reproduce inequality? Is it possible to build emancipatory political coalitions among groups who make such claims? This book answers these questions by articulating a new politics of experience. It begins by demonstrating that intersectionality is a politically fluid rather than an always feminist analytical framework. It also reveals a dialectical reality in which groups’ experiential claims rest on harmful assumptions and foster emancipatory demands. This book concludes that black male supporters of single-gender schools for black boys can build worthwhile coalitions around this complex reality when they interrogate their own as well as their critics’ assumptions and demands. Doing so enables these supporters to engage in educational advocacy that recognizes the value of public schools while criticizing the quality of such schools available to black boys and black girls.

Abstract:
Most disorders of the urethra in children are congenital in origin and affect boys more commonly than girls. They include; posterior urethral valves (PUV), anterior urethral valves, anterior urethral diverticulum, syringocele, urethral atresia, megalourethra, urethral web, urethral polyp, and urethral duplication. Urethral strictures may be congenital or acquired. Most cases of PUV are now diagnosed prenatally. Postnatal management comprises bladder drainage, correction of any metabolic disturbance, prevention of infection (UTI), and endoscopic valve ablation. Careful follow up is required with the aim of preventing urosepsis and preserving renal function. Persisting bladder dysfunction (‘valve’ bladder) can threaten renal function and should be managed aggressively. Chronic renal failure ultimately affects a third of boys with PUV, of whom 10–20% require renal transplantation during the course of childhood. PUV may also present clinically with recurrent UTI, urinary incontinence, or unexplained lower urinary tract symptoms.

Abstract:
Computational propaganda can take the form of automated accounts (bots) spreading information, algorithmic manipulation, and fake news to shape public opinion, among other methods. These techniques are being used in combination with the analysis and usage of large data sets of information about citizens held by corporations and governments. This form of propaganda is spreading to countries all over the world, most notably during the 2016 US presidential elections and the run-up to the UK’s referendum to leave the European Union (Brexit). This chapter examines the use of computational propaganda in Brazil, by looking at three recent cases: the 2014 presidential elections, the impeachment of former president Dilma Rousseff, and the 2016 municipal elections in Rio de Janeiro. It examines the legal framework governing the Internet and the electoral process online, particularly how this process relates to computational propaganda. It also seeks to understand how bots are involved in multifarious economic and political themes, and in ongoing debates in the country about corruption, privatization, and social and economic reform. Through a collection and analysis of hashtags related to major investigations into corruption in politics, as well as to proposed reforms to social support systems and the protests related to them, the chapter identifies bots that are involved in these debates and how they operate. Finally, it looks at potential responses to this kind of propaganda, from legal, technical, and organizational perspectives, as well as indications of future trends in the use of these techniques in Brazilian society and politics.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Richard Durham's efforts to find a new home for Destination Freedom once it ended its run at NBC. Perhaps inspired by his involvement with the Du Bois Theater Guild, Durham planned on writing “a major play” about Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman. When NBC and the WMAQ radio station announced that they were reviving Durham's Destination Freedom series without his consent or input, Durham filed a lawsuit. Also during this time, his and Clarice's small apartment occasionally served as a gathering place for his politically active friends, including members of the United Packinghouse Workers of America (UPWA). In the UPWA's Anti-Discrimination Department, Durham found an outlet for his crusading desire to eradicate inequality and promote justice. He also championed women's rights issues. When the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), UPWA's parent organization, engaged in merger negotiations with the American Federation of Labor (AFL), Durham was able to set up the election of several black officials to the merged leadership.

Abstract:
A twenty-three-year-old Algerian woman and liaison agent for the FLN was imprisoned, tortured, raped with a bottle by French military men, and it’s considered ordinary.1 Since 1954, in the name of suppressing rebellion, then of pacification, we are all accomplices of a genocide that has claimed over a million victims; men, women, old folks and children have been slaughtered: gunned down during search-raids, burned alive in their villages, throats slit or bellies ripped open, many tortured to death. Entire tribes have been left to starve and freeze, at the mercy of beatings and epidemics in the “relocation camps” which are in fact extermination camps—serving also as brothels to the elite soldiers—and where more than five hundred thousand Algerians currently await their death. During the course of the last few months, the press, including even the most circumspect papers, has been full of horror stories: assassinations, lynchings, violent racist attacks on Arab immigrants; manhunts in the streets of Oran; corpses by the dozen in Paris, hanging from trees in the Bois de Boulogne and along the banks of the Seine; maimed limbs and blown up heads; bloody All Saints Day in Algiers....

Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, and avoidant–restrictive food intake disorder are the main categories of eating disorder. They are associated with impairment of physical health and social, emotional, and cognitive development; outcomes are poor if untreated. Ten times more girls are affected than boys. The primary aim of management is to establish regular meals and snacks spread throughout the day. Severely malnourished children are at risk of refeeding syndrome and require expert care (outlined in the published guideline ‘Junior MARSIPAN’).

Abstract:
Dal controllo dei culti patronali ai riti di affiliazione fino alla promozione di un’immagine sacralizzata del capomafia: le organizzazioni criminali attingono spesso al repertorio devozionale cattolico. Il controllo dell’immaginario devoto consacra il ruolo dei boss come depositari di valori tradizionali, promuove un’immagine del capomafia che si fonda su un presunto rapporto privilegiato con il sacro, dimostra il suo potere sul territorio. Ma all’indomani della stagione dello stragismo mafioso, con la visita di Giovanni Paolo II in Sicilia nel maggio del 1993 e con l’assassinio di don Puglisi nel settembre dello stesso anno, la Chiesa cattolica ha intrapreso un’opera di riconquista e di risemantizzazione dello spazio devozionale che si è intrecciata con la formazione di modelli e riti di carattere civile. Questi i temi al centro del volume che nell’ultima parte si apre a scenari di comparazione attraverso l’avvio di un’analisi dei rapporti tra pratiche religiose e malavita organizzata nelle realtà messicana, russa e statunitense.

The clinical syndrome associated with Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) affects all ages, newborns through elderly. Boys and girls are affected equally; adult women are affected three times more than men. The most common form of Chiari malformation, CM1, is often asymptomatic, but one common symptom of CM1 is occipital headache triggered by Valsalva maneuvers. A syrinx, present in many patients, causes neurologic deficits at the level of the syrinx or below. There are medical and surgical management options to treat the pain syndromes associated with CM1. For patients who are resistant to medical and interventional therapy after surgical decompression, few efficacious treatments are available to relieve chronic postoperative, postcraniotomy pain.

Full text
Abstract:
Physical activity is beneficial to children’s health and well-being. Evidence suggests that physical activity declines with age from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood, with boys being more active than girls at all ages. Physical activity participation in childhood is affected by the social support and role modelling provided by family, peers, friends, and teachers. Marginalized groups are disadvantaged in terms of access to opportunities to be physically active. From a population perspective, the greatest gains in public health will be achieved by helping those who are most inactive to become moderately active. Physical activity promotion efforts for children have predominantly focused on school-based programmes, but multisectoral approaches are needed with transformative and enlightened public policy regarding many facets of children’s lives such as school curricula, active travel, safe play areas, and enhanced sports opportunities for all.

Abstract:
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the commonest conditions of childhood, affecting an estimated 10% of girls and 3% of boys in the first 16 years of life. Whereas asymptomatic bacteriuria and low-grade lower tract infection pose little or no risk of renal damage, pyelonephritis can cause severe systemic illness and poses a significant threat of long-term renal morbidity. The principal aim of investigation is to identify underlying abnormalities of the urinary tract, notably vesicoureteric reflux. Guidelines on investigation and management published by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence will be reviewed in this chapter. Treatment of dysfunctional voiding and other features of ‘elimination syndrome’ plays an important role in the prevention of urinary tract infection in this age group.

Abstract:
This concluding chapter urges readers to reflect on how American music from the Fifties is received today. Historians have described America's postwar years in various monikers: the age of doubt, the age of abundance, the proud decade, and the decade of fear. According to a 1972 article in Newsweek magazine, they were “The Fabulous Fifties,” a simple decade when “hip was hep and good was boss.” In America, the long decade of the Fifties was all of that. Even as it transpired, astute observers of human behavior noted the period's seemingly opposite trends. It can be argued that it is precisely these paradoxes—the national pride in America's wartime triumph versus a collective doubt about the nation's future directions—that gives the Fifties its special frisson.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent forms of expressivism attempt to explain the sense in which certain propositions are ‘non-factual’ in terms of principles about attitudes towards those propositions. Following recent expressivist accounts of conditionals and modals, a version of expressivism about vagueness is explored, which maintains that to have a credence in a vague proposition is just to have your credences in the precise propositions distributed in a certain way. Whilst this form of expressivism is ultimately rejected, a consequence of the view can be exploited to partially capture the intuition that certain subject matters are non-factual. This principle, Rational Supervenience’, effectively states that all disagreements about the vague ultimately boil down to disagreements about the precise: any two rational priors that agree about all precise propositions agree about everything. While the Principle of Plenitude states that there is a proposition occupying every evidential role, Rational Supervenience entails conversely that every proposition occupies some evidential role.

Abstract:
The Russian government’s digital propaganda seeks to insulate Putin’s leadership from any domestic challengers and aid in his foreign policy ventures, which increasingly set Russian interests off against the West. Yet the propaganda tools, including trolls and bots, were conceived and perfected in the pockets of political competition and a globally integrated market economy still left in Putin’s Russia. This chapter discusses how the vibrant Russian blogosphere, left unattended by the government and laser-focused on taking over the traditional media, created the demand for sophisticated online propaganda and censorship tools. It also discusses how the advanced Russian online media and tech sector helped to meet this demand. It concludes with a preliminary report on the detection and exposure of government propaganda online, which could be applicable beyond Russia.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter briefly examines the roots and evolution of working-class manhood. It shows how working-class masculine identity had many roots. The relations of social class, gender, race, and ethnicity influenced and shaped male attitudes, values, and behaviors. Most important, boys becoming men, young men, and adult men fashioned and refashioned their manliness in a variety of all-male settings—such as the workplace. The workplace was central to the forming, nurturing, widening, and deepening of this masculine culture. Generally, this working-class masculine culture has surfaced in two distinct forms—a respectable culture and a rough one. Though analytically quite discrete, these two contradictory forms might result from either personal disposition or social position. Yet they sometimes coexisted with, overlapped with, or blended into each other.

Full text
Abstract:
Untimely Democracy tells the surprising story of how American authors and activists defined the path of racial progress after the abolition of slavery. Conventional narratives of democracy stretching from Thomas Jefferson’s America to the present day posit a purposeful break between past and present as the key to the viability of this political form—the only way to ensure its continual development. But for Pauline E. Hopkins, Frederick Douglass, Stephen Crane, W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles W. Chesnutt, Sutton E. Griggs, Callie House, and the other figures examined in this book, the campaign to secure liberty and equality for all citizens proceeds most potently when it refuses the precepts of progressive time. Placing these authors’ post–Civil War writings into dialogue with debates about racial optimism and pessimism, tracts on progress, and accounts of ex-slave pension activism, and extending their insights into our contemporary moment, the book recovers late nineteenth-century literature as a vibrant site for doing political theory. Untimely Democracy ultimately shows how one of the bleakest periods in American racial history provided fertile terrain for a radical reconstruction of some of the foundational elements of the nation’s political system. Offering resources for moments when the march of progress seems to slow, stutter, and even cease, the book invites readers to reconsider just what democracy can make possible.
