Full textAbstract:
Pimelodus luciae is described from rio Itacaiunas, rio Tocantins basin. The new species exhibits a unique spotted pigmentation pattern for Pimelodidae. Pimelodus luciae differs further from remaining valid Pimelodus species by the following combination of characters: the relatively short distance between the posterior nostril and the anterior orbital border; dorsal surface of the supraoccipital process rounded; horizontal orbital diameter greater than interorbital distance; and distal portion of dorsal fin hyaline. Pimelodus luciae is known only from the type-locality.

Full textAbstract:
The article highlights the role of an eccentric troublemaker at the beginning of the twentieth century – Lucien Bailly. The Pont-à-Mousson company’s archives, one of the major joint stock companies in the mining industry at that time, provide a wealth of information about this very interesting character. It is argued that Lucien Bailly paved the way for present-day activism. While the nature of shareholder-activists is far different today, there is a similar dichotomy between private and public or cooperative and hostile actions. This is the true legacy of Lucien Bailly. He was also the pioneer of proxy fights with the creation of the first association defending minority shareholders and the precursor of social activism.

Lucifer Effect Syndrome in the Intercultural Politics – Conclusions for Europe
Lucifer Effect is a process which progress gradually, slowly usually in mostly imperceptible way. That makes it especially dangerous because the society has just a little ability to identify its symptoms and phases. That is why, even if academics verify their concepts empirically it is always a crucial problem to warn the society of destructive conflict approaching. The paradox of conflict is that it is the fundamental for democracy (different opinions, minority rights etc.) and at the same time can be disastrous for this system and people living in. That paradox makes the “events horizon” very hard to determine and be aware of it. When society pass it, it can be too late to reconstruct the stability and security in short term, and even worst disasters happen. The aim of this text is to present the Lucifer Effect as the example realizing to the society the threats arising from the negative intercultural conflicts.

Full textAbstract:
Species belonging to Rosa section Synstylae (Rosaceae) are mainly distributed in East Asia, and represent recently diverged lineages within the genus. Over decades, inferring phylogenetic relationships within section Synstylae have been exceptional challenges, due to short branch lengths and low support values. Of approximately 36 species in the section Synstylae, Rosa multiflora, Rosa luciae and Rosa maximowicziana are widely distributed in the Sino-Japanese floristic region. In this study, we assembled chloroplast genomes of these three species to compare the genomic features within section Synstylae, and to compare with other infrageneric groups. We found that three Rosa sect. Synstylae species had lost infA genes with pseudogenization, and they were almost identical to each other. Two protein-coding gene regions (ndhF and ycf1) and five non-coding regions (5’matK-trnK, psbI-trnS-trnG, rps16-trnG, rpoB-trnC, and rps4-trnT) were identified as being highly informative markers. Within three section Synstylae chloroplast genomes, 85 simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs were detected, of which at least 13 motifs were identified to be effective markers. The phylogenetic relationships of R. multiflora, R. luciae and R. maximowicziana could not be resolved, even with chloroplast genome-wide data. This study reveals the chloroplast genomic data of Rosa sect. Synstylae, and it provides valuable markers for DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analyses for further studies.

Full textAbstract:
Luminal isobutyrate, a relatively poor metabolized short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), induces HCO3secretion via a Cl-independent, DIDS-insensitive, carrier-mediated process as well as inhibiting both Cl-dependent and cAMP-induced HCO3secretion. The mechanism(s) responsible for these processes have not been well characterized. HCO3secretion was measured in isolated colonic mucosa mounted in Lucite chambers using pH stat technique and during microperfusion of isolated colonic crypts.14C-labeled butyrate,14C-labeled isobutyrate, and36Cl uptake were also determined by apical membrane vesicles (AMV) isolated from surface and/or crypt cells. Butyrate stimulation of Cl-independent, DIDS-insensitive 5-nitro-3-(3-phenylpropyl-amino)benzoic acid-insensitive HCO3secretion is greater than that by isobutyrate, suggesting that both SCFA transport and metabolism are critical for HCO3secretion. Both lumen and serosal 25 mM butyrate inhibit cAMP-induced HCO3secretion to a comparable degree (98 vs. 90%). In contrast, Cl-dependent HCO3secretion is downregulated by lumen 25 mM butyrate considerably more than by serosal butyrate (98 vs. 37%). Butyrate did not induce HCO3secretion in isolated microperfused crypts, whereas an outward-directed HCO3gradient-driven induced14C-butyrate uptake by surface but not crypt cell AMV. Both36Cl/HCO3exchange and potential-dependent36Cl movement in AMV were inhibited by 96–98% by 20 mM butyrate. We conclude that 1) SCFA-dependent HCO3secretion is the result of SCFA transport across the apical membrane via a SCFA/HCO3exchange more than intracellular SCFA metabolism; 2) SCFA-dependent HCO3secretion is most likely a result of an apical membrane SCFA/HCO3exchange in surface epithelial cells; 3) SCFA downregulates Cl-dependent and cAMP-induced HCO3secretion secondary to SCFA inhibition of apical membrane Cl/HCO3exchange and anion channel activity, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Sophora flavescens - Ligustrum lucidum has the effect of increasing the anti-cancer effect of white blood cells and treating liver fibrosis. In order to determine the optimal compatibility ratio of this drug pair, the rationality of the drug pairs in different proportions was revealed. In this experiment, three active ingredients of the Sophora flavescens-Fructus Ligustri lucidi were extracted by reflux extraction, which were matrine, oxymatrine and specnuezhenide. A method for simultaneously determining the content of matrine, oxymatrine and specnuezhenide in a short time by HPLC was established. The method is simple, precise, and stable. Reproducibility can be used to determine the content of three active ingredients of matrine, oxymatrineand specnuezhenide. The analysis results was indicated that the different proportions of compatibility and different extraction solvents have significant effects on the content of active ingredients and dissolution rate of Sophora flavescens- Fructus Ligustri lucidi, after the combination of Sophora flavescens- Fructus Ligustri lucidi in different proportions, the content of matrine, oxymatrine and specnuezhenide is greater than the content of the active ingredients of each single herb. When the ratio of compatibility of Sophora flavescens-Ligustrum Ligustri lucidi is <1:1, it is beneficial to the dissolution of the three active ingredients. By determining the optimal compatibility ratio of this drug pair, provided a theoretical basis for the study of late pharmacodynamics and provide theoretical basis for clinicalapplication of traditional Chinese medicine.

This article attempts to address, from the theoretical field, the different approaches to “postmemory” that have emerged in Western culture since the 1990s. After mapping the genealogical origins of this term, paying attention to its transformations and to discussions that this category has prompted, we shall examine the formal issues that govern most of this kind of cultural productions. To this end we expose three examples that have been produced in very different artistic fields, periods, geographies, and traumatic pasts: Maus, a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman; Arqueología de la ausencia, a photographic project by the Argentinian Lucila Quieto; and Haciendo memoria, a short documentary by the Spanish Sandra Ruesga.Key WordsPostmemory, generational memory, memory mediatisation, traumatic past, audiovisual culture, contemporary narratives.ResumenEl presente artículo se propone abordar desde el ámbito teórico las distintas aproximaciones que desde los años noventa del pasado siglo se han hecho al concepto de la “posmemoria”.

Full textAbstract:
Magnolia lucida (Magnoliaceae) is classified as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. It has high commercial value owing to its attractive tree shape and flowers. We adopted an excellent genotype of M. lucida as the parent material and established a mini-cut orchard through grafting to provide trunk shoots explants over the long-term. Optimal sterilization was achieved using a combination of 75% ethanol for 30 s, one percent benzalkonium bromide for five minutes, and 0.1% mercuric chloride for five minutes. Modified Murashige and Skoog medium (ML) was the optimal medium for the growth of M. lucida. Addition of one mg/L of 6-benzyl adenine (BA) and 0.05 mg/L of α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) to the medium increased the shoot induction rate to 95.56%, and the ML medium containing 0.4 mg/L BA and 0.04 mg/L NAA achieved the maximum multiplication rate (284.56%). Dark treatment for seven days, followed by continuous light treatment could better resolve the challenge of difficult rooting in M. lucida plants. Using random amplified polymorphic DNA and inter simple sequence repeat markers, we confirmed the genetic uniformity and stability of the regenerated plants. Our protocol should be helpful for the propagation and conservation of this endangered plant.

This article aims to understand the narrative technique of mise-enabyme in Clarice Lispector’s short story “A quinta história” (published in A legião estrangeira (1964)). Here Lispector quickly builds variations on the same argument, a sort of unfolding of stories that succeed each other, originating in the same idea: how to kill cockroaches. Based on the studies of Lucien Dällenbach and Verónique Labeille among others, the article confronts the versions of A quinta história in the periodicals Casa e Jardim and Senhor, focusing on mise-enabyme as the seminal and questioning force of Lispector’s work.

Smith, Jeannette Ward. "Being Incommensurable/Incommensurable Beings: Ghosts in Elizabeth Bowen’s Short Stories." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2006. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/english_theses/11.
Full textAbstract:
I investigate the ghosts in Elizabeth Bowen’s short stories, “Green Holly” and “The Happy Autumn Fields.” By blending psychoanalytic feminism and social feminism, I argue that these female ghosts are the incommensurable feminine—a feminine that exceeds the bounds of phallocentric logic and cannot be defined by her social or symbolic manifestations. An analysis of Bowen’s ghosts as actual ghosts is uncharted territory. Previous Bowen critics postulate that Bowen’s ghosts are imaginary figments or metaphors. These critics make Bowen’s stories “truthful” representations of the world, but, as such, Bowen’s ghosts become representations of the world’s phallocentric order. In contrast, I argue that these stories adopt a mestiza consciousness. Gloria Anzaldùa postulates that through a subaltern perspective developed outside of western logic, the mestiza reclaims the supernatural that exists outside of the masculine, symbolic order. The female ghosts are the feminine that Luce Irigaray explains, “remain[s] elsewhere” (76) as they live incommensurably in an alternate supernatural realm, disrupting phallic logic.

The purpose of this dissertation is to study the poetic creation process in the book of short stories Quarto de Hora by Maria Lúcia Medeiros, published in 1994 in Belém do Pará, Brazil. It is a fictional process that, in view of the multiple stylistic marks, has similarities with the oral speech while legends or children s stories, beyond its own literary limits, in the realm of the visual arts. Two hypotheses were operated in this investigation: one relative to the ambivalent nature of the discourse in first person; the other relative to the presence of the memorialist narrative in the poetic essay. Both of them are supported on theories of the Russian Formalists, Paul Zumthor, Henri Bergson, Maurice Halbwachs, Gaston Bachelard, chiefly. The study of short stories was based on the analysis and construction of cinematographic procedures that blow up images processed as recollections of the oral illusional report. The time-space interrelation is operated in the narrative sequence by the imagination and memory, in the three chapters, as a complementary relation that results in the grasping of a fragmented and plural narrative, as a spiral figure, that has no beginning, no middle, and no end incomplete. The memory space provides the principle of creation of the legend s image in Quarto de Hora, which finds its representation in the origin of the human language, in the voice, and in gesticulations of the poetic expression at the threshold of prose
O propósito desta dissertação é estudar o processo de criação poética no livro de contos Quarto de Hora de Maria Lúcia Medeiros, publicado em 1994, em Belém do Pará, Brasil. É um processo ficcional que, em vista das múltiplas marcas estilísticas, apresenta similaridades com o discurso da oralidade, enquanto lendas ou histórias infantis, além das próprias fronteiras literárias, no domínio das artes visuais. Duas hipóteses foram trabalhadas nesta investigação: uma referente à natureza ambivalente do discurso em primeira pessoa; outra referente à presença da narrativa memorialista no ensaio poético. Ambas são fundamentadas nas teorias dos Formalistas Russos, Paul Zumthor, Henri Bergson, Maurice Halbwachs, Gaston Bachelard, principalmente. O estudo dos contos foi baseado na análise e construção de procedimentos cinematográficos, que sugerem imagens processadas como recolhas do relato da ilusão oral. A inter-relação tempo-espaço é trabalhada na seqüência narrativa pela imaginação e memória, nos três capítulos, enquanto uma relação complementar que resulta na apreensão de uma narrativa fragmentada e plural, como uma figura espiral, que não tem início, meio e fim inconclusa. O espaço da memória fundamenta o princípio da criação da imagem da lenda em Quarto de Hora, que encontra sua representação na origem da linguagem humana, na voz, e nas gestualidades da expressão poética, nos limites da prosa

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses so-called ‘gynaehorror,’ the type of horror that deals explicitly with female reproductive bodily functions. While first addressing Woolf’s childlessness, the chapter opens with references to the early work of Agnes Varda, Diary of a Pregnant Woman (1958) and One Sings the Other Doesn’t (1977) to then turn to the female version of Rosemary’s Baby with Lyle (Stewart Thorndike, 2014) and Alice Low’s pregnancy-horror film Prevenge (2016). Jennifer Phillips’s film Blood Child (2017) is a chilling story based on true events where a miscarriage is translated into the raising of a ghost child. Furthermore, this chapter looks at complicated mother-daughter relations in Ngozi Onwurah’s The Body Beautiful (1991) and in Deborah Haywood’s Pin Cushion (2017); and at mother-son relations in We Have to talk About Kevin (Lynne Ramsey 2011), Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook (2014) and Goodnight Mommy (Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala 2015). The chapter also discusses some other family relations from hell as depicted Dark Touch (Marina de Van 2013), System Crasher (Nora Fingscheidt 2019) and Family (Veronika Kedar 2017). Lucile Hadžihalilović’s Evolution (2015) takes pregnancy to a post human level and in that sense resonates with some of Butler’s writing, especially her short story ‘Blood Child’.

Full textAbstract:
In addition to public speeches, rhetors of the second century also composed shorter, less formal exercises, ‘introductions’, prolaliai, or, more generally, dialexeis, ‘discourses’, as initial remarks on a topic or substitutes for longer orations. One writer who favoured this medium was the sophist Lucian, who flourished during the 160s and 170s. But his examples of the genre are not straightforward, since, as John Dryden observed, ‘[n]o man is so great a master of irony as our author’. Even that may be an oversimplification. Perhaps more accurate is the recent claim, about one of Lucian’s works, that it ‘treads along a knife-edge line between sincerity and irony’. Because of the satirical position he adopts, Lucian’s works provide a valuable source of contemporary social attitudes. On repeated occasions in his dialogues and stories, this Hellenized Syrian, sufficiently detached from the assumptions of Greek and Roman sophistic culture to be able to offer an independent perspective, observes how individuals regarded as innately superior could provoke speechless awe (thauma) in their ignorant audiences, whether at wonderful objects, like the possessions of the rich, or at abstract concepts and admirable philosophical principles, like the prize of happiness, political proposals, poetic fictions, or intellectual ideas. The amazement often rests on the achievement of a paradox. Architecture too was an object of wonder. The science of geometry, on which architects like Nicon prided themselves, seemed ‘miraculous’ to the ignorant. Nicon’s model Socrates was the archetype of these shaman-like characters, who, after creating aporia as a result of an impressive paradox, left their companions expressing disbelief. In matters of philosophy, science, religion, or higher culture, the layman could only address the expert as ‘O wondrous one’ (ō thaumasie). The satirical Lucian sees through such conventions, which are invariably betrayed by hypocritical behaviour, but this did not prevent their being taken seriously by contemporary audiences. In short, the picture that Lucian paints of these performances by sophists and sensationalists is one of an elite group or culture using their superior education or supposed access to hidden secrets to pull the wool over the eyes of those outside their group.

This chapter examines the treatment of spectrality in Spark’s debut novel, The Comforters, as well as in a selection of early (and otherwise realistic) short stories. It discuss some of Spark’s earliest attempts to realise – to quote from her preceding study of John Masefield – ‘how sharp and lucid fantasy can be when it is deliberately intagliated on the surface of realism.’ The first half of the chapter concerns what is classified as the textual haunting, whereby the supernatural encounter is treated as an instance of metalepsis – a violation, that is, of the text’s diegetic boundaries, which is in some ways analogous to the ghost’s traversal of ontological ones. The chapter’s second section examines the significance of the ghost story as a vital means of critiquing forms of patriarchal power, along with conventional gender roles and their attendant expectations.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reviews Shalom Goldman's Starstruck in the Promised Land: How the Arts Shaped American Passions about Israel (2019). Despite its title, this book has little to say about how “the arts shaped American passions about Israel.” The exposition of its “arts” examples is more lucid in the book's introduction than in its body. More than two-thirds of the volume convey insufficiently researched or inaccurate reports about Israeli history, often focusing on issues that have nothing to do with the ostensible topic of the arts' presumptive “soft power” in the shaping of the U.S.–Israel relationship. There is also an untoward amount of autobiographical memoir writing crisscrossed with sweeping, questionable allegations about the two Jewish cultures under study. Goldman seems unconcerned about delivering on his promise to write about American cultural icons and Israel, and he produces such a short roster of these icons, that the book inculcates a contrary, and possibly correct, impression suggesting that, on a celebrity cultural level at least, America has never really been “starstruck” about the promised land.

Full textAbstract:
Concerned with the political and socio-economic implications of Italian vampire cinema, the chapter identifies Italian vampires with enemies within (a specific group of people in the nation-state’s social body) and enemies without (scheming foreigners). The chapter focuses on six Italian vampire films of various genres made between 1970 and 1975. Directly referencing Karl Marx and Marxist thinkers, ...Hanno cambiato faccia (Corrado Farina, 1971), La corta notte delle bambole di vetro / Short Night of Glass Dolls (Aldo Lado, 1971), Il prato macchiato di rosso (Riccardo Ghione, 1972), L’uomo che uccideva a sangue freddo / Shock Treatment (Alain Jessua, 1973), Dracula cerca sangue di vergine... e morì di sete!!! / Blood for Dracula (Paul Morrissey, 1974) and Il cav. Costante Nicosia demoniaco, ovvero: Dracula in Brianza / Dracula in the Provinces (Lucio Fulci, 1975) liken the then-contemporary ruling political caste and capitalist class to greedy, self-serving vampires that are undefeatable due to their power of adaptation, thereby providing an apocalyptic view on the post-economic-miracle period, from the late-1960s wave of anti-authoritarian protests in Italian universities and factories to the mid-1970s plans for an alliance between Christian Democrats and Communists.

The New York Post, a New York City daily, ran a sensational headline on the front page of its April 12, 2000, issue: “Breast Cancer Hot Spots”. The news story reported that statistics and maps of breast cancer rates just released by New York State health authorities showed unusually high rates of breast cancer on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, as well as on Long Island and several other areas in New York City and upstate. These high rates were described by the state authorities as “not likely due to chance.” The residents of the Upper East Side, one of the most affluent areas of the city, were understandably alarmed. One woman interviewed was considering whether to move elsewhere, but had not yet decided. A second demanded that the two major party candidates for the U.S. Senate state their positions on the high rate. A third noted that there were no obvious sources of pollution in the neighborhood, no pesticide spraying or toxic waste dumps, that could explain why the breast cancer rate was high. Many people believe that breast cancer is caused by toxic agents in the environment. Victims of breast cancer we have met at sessions of support groups have described vividly the pains and discomfort of chemotherapy, radiation, and radical surgery; the nagging anxiety about a possible recurrence, the sense of disfigurement, of mutilation; the ignorance and insensitivity of many of the so-far healthy; the strengthening or weakening of bonds to those close to them: husbands, sons, daughters, parents, who either grow in understanding and compassion or fall short. But there is one common thread that runs through their stories: each of them feels there must be a reason why she, at this particular point in her life, should have gotten this terrible disease. Why me? Lucia D., in her late thirties, remembers that as a child of eight or nine growing up in Panama she and other children used to run after the truck that periodically sprayed DDT in their neighborhood and dance around in the spray. She is convinced that this childhood exposure is the reason she has breast cancer at such an early age.

Full textAbstract:
Shipping plays an important role in the logistic chain. These a worthiness of ships transporting goods world wide is therefore crucial. One element defining these a worthiness of a ship is the condition of her ballast tanks. These tanks are an area of concern for ship owners and crew. They are subject to corrosion; and due to the enclosed environment and complex structure, maintenance is very difficult and costly. This paper gives the results of an “insitu” study of ballast tanks on board of more than 150 merchant ships. No selection criteria were applied from the start and the ships were surveyed as opportunity arose. Most of the ships are worldwide trading and the age varies between brand new and 36years. Figure 1 gives a good idea of the age distribution. Many types of ships are represented in the database amongst others 10oil tankers, 14 liquefied gas carrier, 25 chemical tankers, 28 bulk carriers, 23 full containers carriers, 5 general cargoes, 9 RoRo’s, 8 refrigerated ships. Surface corrosion was assessed, compared and the importance of condition and environmental parameters during coating application recognized. The paper also reveals the significant difference between the average corrosion regression line of the data base and the coating condition in the ballast tanks on board ships to where the operator invested in a superior coating system at new building, with extra attention to surface preparation and coating application. The need to reduce the environmental impact of shipping becomes more and more obvious. Blasting with shot and grit, vast amounts of water used for water jetting and rinsing, surface cleaning and high solvent coatings jeopardize our future generations. Luckily, there duction of the environmental impact has beneficial economic consequences a sit brings down significantly maintenance costs.
