Full textAbstract:
Tonic root has been speculated to improve Libido and this could have effect on performance and carcass traits of the animal. Afifty-six days experiment was conducted to determine meat quality of Abor acre Strain of broiler chickens fed graded dietary inclusion of supplemental white ginger (Mondia whitei). One hundred and eighty, one day-old broiler chicks were assigned to five treatment groups with three replicates per group. Birds on treatment one were fed concentrate with no supplements, those on treatment two had concentrate + 0.5g Mondia whitei per kg feed, treatment three had concentrate + 1g Mondia whitei per kg feed; Treatment 4 had concentrate with 1.5g Mondia whitei per kg feed and treatment five had concentrate + 2g Mondia whitei per kg feed. At the end of the eight weeks feeding trial, three birds each from each replicate of five treatment groups were randomly selected, deprived of food for 12 hours prior to slaughtering. After the traditional slaughtering method, feather plucking and evisceration were done and breast muscles were excised from the carcasses for quality parameters evaluation. The results showed significance (P< 0.05) in some measured parameters such as colour, yellowness (b*) and Lightness (L*). Highest (P<0.05) triglyceride content of meat (145.33 mg/dL) was recorded in the meat of birds fed inclusion level at 0.5g/kg and the lowest value (91.67mg/dL) in the meat of birds fed inclusion level of 1g/kg. Breast muscles had the highest (P<0.05) pH score 6.72 at 1g/kg inclusion level and least value of 6.51 was in the control group. Dietary inclusion of Mondia whitei showed no significant (P>0.05) effect on cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Although superoxide dismutase (SOD) and water absorptive power were not significantly (P>0.05) influenced, cooking and refrigeration loss as well as thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) in meat were significantly (P<0.05) lowest in birds fed 1g/kg dietary inclusion level of Mondia whitei. Some phytochemicals and overall sensory acceptability were statistically influenced by the dietary treatments.

Malaria remains a major public health problem in the tropics. According to WHO estimates, sub-Saharan Africa continues to carry a disproportionately high share of global malaria burden. Oxidative stress plays significant role in malaria pathogenesis. Recently, there is increasing effort to develop more potent antimalarials from plant source. Brachystegia eurycoma and Mondia whitei are used locally for malaria treatment. Medicinal plants used in therapy quite often possess antioxidant activities as a result of its inherent phytoconstituents. The phytochemical composition of Brachystegia eurycoma and Mondia whitei were qualitatively examined. The antioxidant activities of the methanolic extracts of the leaves of two medicinal plants were determined using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) antioxidant assay. The Brine shrimp lethality assay (BSLA) and Lorke‘s acute toxicity study were used to estimate their toxicities; while Peter‘s 4-day chemosuppresive test was employed to evaluate their antimalarial activities. The flavonoid and saponins content were particularly high in both plants. Using ascorbic acid as reference (IC50 9.26 μg/mL), the antioxidant IC50 values of B. eurycoma and M. whitei were 11.14 μg/ mL and 19.81μg/mL respectively; the BSLA LC50 were 1.8 mg/mL and 1.2 mg/mL; acute toxicity LD50 were 5000 mg/kg and 4500 mg/kg. Brachystegia eurycoma showed stronger daily average antimalarial activity (62.0 %) than Mondia whitei (39.3%), the standard drug, chloroquine, was 85.4%. The chloroform fraction of Brachystegia eurycoma was the most active with (65%) daily average suppression. This suggests that the extracts of leaves of the plants have good antioxidant activities, are non-toxic and supports their antimalarial use in ethnomedicine.

Magister Scientiae (Medical Bioscience) - MSc(MBS)Introduction: Mondia whitei commonly known as "White Ginger" is a highly acclaimed medicinal plant that is extensively used across Africa. M. whitei is used as treatment for sexual dysfunction and is considered to be an aphrodisiac by traditional medicine practitioners. Yet, scientific evidence to support these claims are minimal and those that are published possess ambiguity. To date, only one study reporting the in vitro effect of the aqueous rhizome extract of M. whitei on human sperm motility is available. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the in vitro effects of M. whitei in human sperm functions. Materials and Methods: Roots of Mondia whitei obtained from the tropical Kakamega rain forest, located in the Western Province of Kenya, were cleaned and chopped into smaller segments. These pieces were ovendried at 25℃ for 3 days and milled to form a powdery substance which was infused with hot (about 70℃) distilled water for 1 hour. After cooling and filtration, the extract was frozen at -20℃ and subsequently freeze-dried. The dried extract was then stored at 4℃ in a closed container until experimentation. A total of 60 semen samples were collected: 28 of them represented healthy sperm donors and 32 infertile patients. Among these subjects, oligozoospermic and asthenozoospermic semen samples were identified and analysed separately. Sperm were washed using human tubular fluid medium supplemented with bovine serum albumin (HTF-BSA) and incubated for 1 hour at 37℃ with different concentrations of M. whitei (0.0185, 0.185, 1.85, 18.5 and 185 μg/ml). A sample without M. whitei served as control. Sperm cell motility, vitality, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), capacitation, acrosome reaction and DNA fragmentation were assessed. Results: Total motility and the percentage of sperm with intact MMP showed significant dose-dependent increases in both groups (patient and donor), while, the percentages of progressively motile sperm only revealed significant increases in the patient group. Besides, the percentage of ROS-positive spermatozoa showed significant trend towards higher concentrations in the patient group only. Conversely, a trend towards reduced sperm DNA-fragmentation could be observed in the patient, but not the donor group. Similar tendencies were noted in oligozoospermic and asthenozoospermic, but not for normozoospermic subjects. Yet, sperm vitality, capacitation, acrosome reaction and kinematic parameters were not affected. Conclusions: Phytochemicals present in M. whitei root extract maintains spermatozoa total motility, progressive motility and intact-MMP and DNA integrity. However, at therapeutic concentration (<1.85 μg/ml) it does not trigger sperm intrinsic superoxide production nor increase ROS by causing oxidative stress, that leads to DNA fragmentation.

Il presente elaborato vuole analizzare, a partire dalla scoperta fino ai primi tentativi di colonizzazione, la visione e percezione che il mondo Occidentale aveva del Nuovo Continente. La prima sezione esplora l'associazione che i coloni stabilirono fra l'America e l'immagine di un paradiso terrestre e come questa metafora abbia influenzato l'aspetto economico del processo di colonizzazione. La sezione successiva tratta l'ulteriore associazione fra la terra americana e le immagini di una donna e di una madre. Per finire, la tesi mostra come queste visioni e percezioni siano state tradotte in letteratura, fornendo un esempio pratico dalla produzione del poeta americano Philip Freneau. L'elaborato è stato scritto interamente in lingua inglese.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi studia l’opera del war poet inglese Isaac Rosenberg (1890-1918) con l’obiettivo principale di analizzare l’influenza della sua formazione pittorica sulla produzione poetica, un aspetto che, seppur generalmente riconosciuto, è stato poco approfondito dalla critica. I primi tre capitoli esaminano il contesto sociale, culturale e artistico in cui Rosenberg visse prima di arruolarsi nell’esercito; in particolare, viene presentata la comunità ebraica dell’East End di Londra, il suo coinvolgimento nella Prima Guerra Mondiale, la scena artistica di inizio ventesimo secolo. Lo studio considera anche la scuola d’arte da lui frequentata, la Slade, la sua limitata produzione pittorica e le sue riflessioni di estetica, contenute nelle lettere e nella prosa. Il quarto capitolo, fulcro della tesi, propone un’analisi dei testi poetici che mira a evidenziare come il poeta abbia sfruttato l’esperienza di pittore nella scrittura, specialmente nella war poetry. Tra le strategie identificate, vi sono l’utilizzo simbolico dei colori, l’imagery relativa a luce e buio, l’adozione di una particolare prospettiva, la commistione tra astratto e concreto. Tali tecniche vengono lette come tentativi di rispondere alla difficoltà di rappresentazione e comunicazione dell’esperienza bellica.The thesis studies the works of English war poet Isaac Rosenberg (1890-1918) with the main aim of analysing the influence of his pictorial training on his poetic production, an aspect which has been generally acknowledged, but scarcely investigated by critics. The first three chapters examine the social, cultural and artistic context in which Rosenberg lived before enlisting in the army; in particular, the focus is on the Jewish community of London’s East End, the involvement in the First World War, and the art scene of the early Twentieth century. The study also considers the art school he attended, the Slade, his limited pictorial production, and his thoughts on aesthetics, as included in the letters and prose. The fourth chapter, core of the thesis, proposes an analysis of the poems which aims to show how Rosenberg exploited his experience as a painter in his writing, especially in the war poetry. Among the identified strategies are the symbolic use of colours, the imagery related to light and shadow, the adoption of a particular perspective, the fusion of abstract and concrete. These techniques are seen as attempts to respond to the difficulty of representing and communicating war experience.

Full textAbstract:
La question de l'oiseau dans la poésie contemporaine se pose avec une certaine évidence. Impossible, semble-t-il, d'ouvrir un recueil de poèmes sans tomber à de nombreuses reprises sur des références explicites à l'oiseau : à son vol bien sûr, mais aussi à son chant, à sa présence discrète mais permanente. Comment expliquer cette re��currence dans la production contemporaine ? Et qu'est-ce qui constitue la singularité de l'oiseau dans le règne animal ? Après avoir justifié le rapprochement des trois poètes de notre corpus, nous avons fondé notre travail selon des perspectives analogiques et transdisciplinaires. Renouant à un certain degré avec la mystique médiévale, la poésie cherche les frontières de l'homme dans l'univers-macrocosme. L'oiseau, qui semble une limite ultime pour le psychisme humain, nous permet de redéfinir l'animalité selon un principe de "consanguinité" (Saint-John Perse). Contre la propension moderne à l'émiettement, au dispersé, au catalogique, cette pensée analogique à l'œuvre dans la production poétique de nos auteurs, cherche à reconstituer la trame et à "recoudre l'univers". La dimension métaphysique, souvent non revendiquée chez nos poètes, reste ainsi constamment sous-jacente. Au-delà d'une lecture du réel qui s'appuie sur la précision de la science, une "autre dimension", proche de l'Ouvert rilkéen, imprègne leurs œuvres. L'oiseau, à travers les motifs du vol et du chant, dessine alors les contours d'une poétique liée à la modernité esthétiqueThe question of the bird in contemporary poetry seems to be obvious. It's really impossible to open a collection of poems without seeing lots of explicit references to the bird : his fly, his singing, and his discreet but permanent presence. How to explain this recurrence in contemporary production ? And what's the foundation of the bird's particularity in the animal kingdom ? After justifying the connection of the three poets of our corpus, we based our work on analogical and transdiciplinary viewpoints. Reviving the medieval mysticism, poetry looks for the limits of human nature in the world-macrocosm. The bird, that seems the last limit for the human psychism, allows us to redefine animality in accordance with a principle of "consanguinity" (Saint-John Perse). Against the modern proclivity to dispersion and catalogue, this analogical thought circulating in the poems of our authors, wants to reconstruct the weft, to "sew up the universe". The metaphysical dimension, that is not often clearly claimed by our poets, is always underlying. Beyond a description of the real world, that is leaning on the precision of the science, another dimension, verging on rilkean "Ouvert", impregnates their works. The bird, through the patterns of the flight and the singing, draws the lines of poetics linked by aesthetic modernity

Full textAbstract:
Aux alentours de 2008, un genre littéraire nommé « zhichang xiaoshuo » suscite l’engouement en Chine : des best-sellers avec leurs adaptations engendrent quelques centaines d’œuvres dans la même veine. Ce phénomène que nous désignons par la « littérature des cols blancs », est à la fois littéraire, socio-économique et culturel. Inédite dans l’histoire littéraire, cette littérature est atypique par le statut de ses auteurs, par ses formes hybrides, et aussi par ses modes de production. Quatre œuvres, englobant les plus médiatisées et les plus originales, constituent notre corpus noyau, et forment un échantillon qui permet de rendre compte de la richesse du phénomène. Notre travail relève d’une double approche socio-historique et littéraire. Pour les œuvres du corpus, nous procédons à l’étude de l’intrigue, des personnages, de la structure textuelle et des techniques narratives. Nous examinons en parallèle deux romans d’écrivains reconnus ayant mis en scène le monde du travail respectivement au début et à la fin des années quatre-vingt, ainsi que des œuvres de fiction relevant des genres « guanchang » et « shangchang », écrites au tournant du siècle ou contemporaines des« zhichang xiaoshuo ». Le contexte économique, politique et culturel dans lequel est apparu le phénomène, est largement étudié. Nous analysons également les adaptations en tant que variantes de l’œuvre littéraire, et tentons d’expliquer leurs différences. Enfin, nous explorons les fonctions de cette littérature « grand public » dans la société chinoise du XXIe siècle, une société affichant sa prospérité et jouissant de nouveaux moyens technologiques d’une part, et d’autre part marquée par le traumatisme du passé et par la perte de repèresAround 2008, a literary genre called "zhichang xiaoshuo" arouses enthusiasm in China: bestsellers with their adaptations generate several hundred works in the same vein. This phenomenon that we call "white-collar literature" is literary, socio-economic and cultural at once. New in the history of literature, this literature is atypical due to the professional identity of its authors, its hybrid forms, and also its production methods. Four works, including most publicized and most original, constitute our core corpus, and offer a sample of the richness of the phenomenon. Our work takes a two-pronged approach, both socio-historical and literary. For works of the corpus, we first study the plot, the characters, the textual structure and narrative techniques. We examine in parallel two fictions by renowned writers who portrayed the working world of the early and late 1980s, respectively, and two fictions in the “guanchang” and the “shangchang” genres at the turn of the century or contemporary with “zhichang xiaoshuo”. The economic, political and cultural context in which the phenomenon appeared is widely studied. We also analyze the adaptations as variants of the literary work, and try to explain their differences. Finally, we explore the functions of this popular literature in twenty-first century Chinese society which is, on the one hand, proud of its prosperity and enjoying the benefits of new technologies; and on the other hand, marked by the trauma of its past and by a general loss of bearings

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur les cols blancs, un phénomène nouveau, émergeant en Turquie dans les années 2000 : un petit groupe de travailleurs salariés, non-salariés et de chômeurs s'appelant eux-mêmes cols blancs et qui ont initié une mobilisation sociale grâce aux différentes plateformes : « Plateforme Plaza-Action », « Fuis et Viens Chez Nous » et « Ouvriers en Cols Blancs ». En mobilisant les outils théoriques et méthodologiques de la Théorie critique et de la phénoménologie, et en comparant les cols blancs turcs avec l'analyse des cols blancs américains de Charles Wright Mills, la thèse analyse les visions du monde des « cols blancs », leurs raisons d'agir ainsi que les finalités de leurs mobilisations. Les objectifs des cols blancs en Turquie sont d'initier un débat sur leurs vécus au travail ainsi que de problématiser la situation socio-politique de la société depuis une dizaine d'années. Pour comprendre les « cols blancs », nous nous sommes concentrés d'abord sur leurs expériences vécues au travail : des expériences de la sérialité, c'est-à-dire le contraire de leurs attentes initiales de trouver dans le travail des possibilités de développer leur liberté d'expression et leur autonomie individuelle. Sur la base de ces expériences, les cols blancs essayent de se (re)construire en tant que sujets grâce à leurs mobilisations publiques. Il s'agit d'un processus de subjectivation et d'une quête de sens. Les « cols blancs » disposent, surtout grâce à leurs formations, des compétences intellectuelles et professionnelles nécessaires non seulement pour s'auto-analyser mais également pour analyser la situation sociale en Turquie. Ils développent également une réelle volonté de dépassement de cette situation en construisant une vie individuelle alternative à leur situation actuelle ainsi que dans la recherche d'une autre forme de vivre ensembleThis thesis focuses on "white-collars", a new phenomenon, emerging in Turkey in the 2000s: a small group of salaried, non-salaried and unemployed workers who call themselves "white-collars" and who initiated a social mobilization through the various platforms called Plaza Action Platform, Run Away and Come to Us, Workers on White Collar. By mobilizing the theoretical and methodological tools of Critical Theory and Phenomenology, and by comparing the Turkish "white-collars" with Charles Wright Mills' analysis of American white-collars, the thesis analyzes their visions of the world, their reasons to act and the finalities of their mobilizations.The objectives of "white-collars" in Turkey are to initiate a debate about their experiences at work as well as to problematize the socio-political issues of the society for the past decade. To understand "white-collars", we first focused on their experiences at work: experiences of seriality, the opposite of their initial expectations of finding at work opportunities to develop their freedom of expression and their individual autonomy. Based on these experiences, "white-collars" try to (re)construct themselves as subjects through their public mobilizations. It is a process of subjectivation and a quest for meaning. The "white-collars", especially through their education, have the necessary intellectual and professional skills not only to analyze themselves but also to analyze the social situation in Turkey. They also develop a real willingness to overcome this situation by constructing an alternative individual life to their current situation as well as in their search for another form of living together

So far, most bioactivity assay for Mondia Whitei were the aqueous and methanol extracts. In this study, CO2 super fluid critical (SFC) extraction has been employed and found that the extract contains spicy flavor. This extract was purified and identified for further bioassay. Three compounds, 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde, and 4-Hydro- xy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde, were identified. The antibacterial tests for compounds, 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenza- ldehyde and 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde, against mold and three types yeast, Aspergillus niger 16404, Malassezia furfur 12078 and Candida albicans 10231, showed good activity, especially Malassezia furfur 12078. Antioxidant activity against DPPH showed that crude CO2 SFC extract has better activity than crude queous or methanol extract. Among them, 4-Hydroxy-2-methoxybenzaldehyde showed 86.09 % (1 mg/ml) activity and the dose for IC50 is 0.406 mg/ml. With the concentration of 50 mg/ml for six extracts by H2O, Methanol, Ethyl acetate, CH2Cl2, n-Hexane, and CO2 SFC, for Tyrosine inhibitor activity, it was found that CH2Cl2 extract shows best result.

Mondia White roots have elevated reproductive performance in male rats, but effect of it is indeterminate on learning and memory ability and antioxidative status.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Mondia White on learning and memory abilityreproductive performances and antioxidative status in senescence accelerated mice.Three-month-old SAMP8 male were used in this study.SAMP8 mice were randomly into five groups, where each group contained six mice, including control group, Mondia whitei group (Mondia whitei 1 g /ml), First formula (Mondia whitei 1 g /ml、Epimedium 0.5 g /ml、Common Curculigo 0.25 g /ml、Zizyphus jujuba Mill 0.83 g /ml), Second formula (Mondia whitei 1 g /ml、Epimedium 0.5 g /ml、Morinda officinalis How 0.41 g /ml、Zizyphus jujuba Mill 0.83 g /ml), Third formula (Mondia whitei 1 g /ml、Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. 0.66 g /ml、Astragalus huantchy Franchet 1.5 g /ml、Zizyphus jujuba Mill 0.83 g /ml).This study was at different diets (0.3ml extract/mouse/day) by gastric gavage consecutively for 7 weeks. Food intake, water drink and body weight was also measured during experimental period. One week before scarification, the aging scores were measured, Open field activity test was recorded in evaluation for behavior, and active shuttle avoidance test and single-trial passive avoidance test were performed independently. The mice were sacrificed to analyze the biochemical parameters of sera. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase(GPx) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration activities of liver were measured. The motility, concentration and abnormality of spermatozoa were also evaluated. β-amyloid protein (Aβ) deposition of brain were evaluated. The results showed that there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in body weight, food intake, water drink and locomotion among each group. The aging score of Mondia whitei group and its compound groups were significant lower than control group (P < 0.05). Results from active shuttle avoidance test and single-trial passive avoidance test showed that Mondia whitei group and its compound groups had significant better learning memory ability (P < 0.05). The Mondia whitei group and its compound groups of concentration and motility of spermatozoa were higher control group (P < 0.05), but there no significant difference (P > 0.05) in spermatozoa abnormality. Activities of antioxidant ability, including SOD, Catalase, GPx, and MDA concentration, in the Mondia whitei group and its compound groups were significant higher than that of control group (P < 0.05). Beside, the Aβ deposition of brain in Mondia whitei group and its compound groups were significant lower than control group (P < 0.05). In summary, the supplement of Mondia whitei and its compound may promote the antioxidant defense system, reduce oxidative stress-induced damage, reduce the accumulation of β-amyloid deposition, improve learning and memory ability, and enhanced reproductive performances.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter offers evidence for the following hypothesis: the concepts fetched via lexical meanings are predicative (monadic) or minimally relational (dyadic), even though we often lexicalize concepts of other types. Denoting concepts are used to introduce predicative analogs, while “supradyadic” concepts are used to introduce predicative and/or dyadic analogs. Given a Fregean language, lexicalization could be a more transparent process in which concepts are simply labeled with words of matching types. In this sense, lexicalization effaces certain conceptual distinctions; and it is argued that mass/count/plural distinctions provide another illustration of this point. In this context, there is discussion of Boolos’s plural interpretation of second-order quantification, which also plays a role in chapter seven.

This chapter explores some issues in black British and British Asian fiction since the 1980s. It shows certain key characteristics of the white British apprehension of those non-white imperial subjects who, after decolonization, were to arrive, in increasing numbers, on British shores. This chapter takes a sample of five writers — three women and two men — and explores those key recurring themes that give a unity to their otherwise very different novels. Through the work of Caryl Phillips, Andrea Levy, Zadie Smith, Hanif Kureishi, and Monica Ali, this chapter traces the persistence of issues of race and racism. The chapter also considers the importance of recuperating black history, the rise of identity politics, and the tenacity with which the gaze of the racial Other — whether white on black or black on white — fixes its object in the expectation of certain forms of limiting and supposedly ‘authentic’ behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Humans naturally acquire languages that connect meanings with pronunciations. These distinctive languages are described here as generative procedures that respect substantive constraints. Children acquire meaningful lexical items that can be combined, in certain ways, to form meaningful complex expressions. This raises questions about what meanings are, how they can be combined, and what kinds of meanings lexical items can have. This book argues that meanings are neither concepts nor extensions, and sentences do not have truth conditions. Rather, meanings are composable instructions for how to access and assemble concepts of a special sort. More specifically, phrasal meanings are instructions for how to build monadic concepts (a.k.a. mental predicates) that are massively conjunctive, while lexical meanings are instructions for how to fetch concepts that are monadic or dyadic. This allows for polysemy, since a lexical item can be linked to an address that is shared by a family of fetchable concepts. But the posited combinatorial operations are limited and limiting. They impose severe restrictions on which concepts can be fetched for purposes of semantic composition. Correspondingly, the argument here is that in lexicalization, available representations are often used to introduce concepts that can be combined via the relevant operations.

This chapter examines three of William Gibson's novels: Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive. In Neuromancer, Gibson moved into new territory cautiously, employing a familiar setting—his Sprawl—while essentially combining the plots of two earlier stories. As in “Johnny Mnemonic,” Case would undertake a physical journey through a threatening underworld to obtain crucial information; he would also travel through cyberspace to hack into a protected database. Drawing upon science fiction traditions, Gibson also introduced two significant novelties. Count Zero also features a young computer cowboy, Bobby Newmark, who adventures in both the Sprawl and cyberspace. However, while Newmark's alias Count Zero provides the novel's title, he would be only one of its three protagonists, and perhaps the least important one, as Gibson interweaves his narrative with the stories of two other, very different characters. Mona Lisa Overdrive relies heavily on characters from previous novels.

Full textAbstract:
The ninth chapter, ‘Choric Theatre. Between Tragic Experience and Participatory Democracy’, discusses a new form of theatre that grew out of Greek tragedy’s chorus. While Einar Schleef used the chorus in The Mothers (1986) in order to create a new tragic theatre, in the 1990s—that is, after the protest choruses of the Monday demonstrations in the GDR had led to the fall of the Berlin Wall—choric theatre became an important form of political theatre. Mostly, these choruses were composed of local citizens, as in Volker Lösch’s Oresteia in Dresden (2003) or in theatercombinat’s The Persians (2006–8), and often even of members of a minority, as in all of Volker Lösch’s later productions. Here choric theatre gave a voice to those who had been silenced and even anticipated a utopia of a truly participatory democracy.

Full textAbstract:
In Magical Habits Monica Huerta draws on her experiences growing up in her family's Mexican restaurants and her life as a scholar of literature and culture to meditate on how relationships among self, place, race, and storytelling contend with both the afterlives of history and racial capitalism. Whether dwelling on mundane aspects of everyday life, such as the smell of old kitchen grease, or grappling with the thorny, unsatisfying question of authenticity, Huerta stages a dynamic conversation among genres, voices, and archives: personal and critical essays exist alongside a fairy tale; photographs and restaurant menus complement fictional monologues based on her family's history. Developing a new mode of criticism through storytelling, Huerta takes readers through Cook County courtrooms, the Cristero Rebellion (in which her great-grandfather was martyred by the Mexican government), Japanese baths in San Francisco—and a little bit about Chaucer too. Ultimately, Huerta sketches out habits of living while thinking that allow us to consider what it means to live with and try to peer beyond history even as we are caught up in the middle of it.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractModelling and reasoning about dynamic memory allocation is one of the well-established strands of theoretical computer science, which is particularly well-known as a source of notorious challenges in semantics, reasoning, and proof theory. We capitalize on recent progress on categorical semantics of full ground store, in terms of a full ground store monad, to build a corresponding semantics of a higher order logic over the corresponding programs. Our main result is a construction of an (intuitionistic) BI-hyperdoctrine, which is arguably the semantic core of higher order logic over local store. Although we have made an extensive use of the existing generic tools, certain principled changes had to be made to enable the desired construction: while the original monad works over total heaps (to disable dangling pointers), our version involves partial heaps (heaplets) to enable compositional reasoning using separating conjunction. Another remarkable feature of our construction is that, in contrast to the existing generic approaches, our BI-algebra does not directly stem from an internal categorical partial commutative monoid.

Full textAbstract:
Emboldened by the success its 1968 Olympics coverage enjoyed in prime time, ABC teamed with the National Football League to launch Monday Night Football in 1970. Monday Night Football extended Arledge’s lavish aesthetic to fashion a spectacle that would attract a broader audience than typical weekend telecasts. It particularly set its sights on women—a necessary audience for any successful prime-time show. While Monday Night Football grew out of ABC’s Mexico City broadcasts, it avoided discussing racial tensions that might splinter the consistent prime-time viewership it sought. ABC used Monday Night Football’s popularity to create successful television events that utilized the programing flows it forged and reproduced its pasteurized racial politics, such as the 1971 made-for-television movie Brian’s Song, and, more significantly, the 1977 miniseries Roots. Chapter 4 contextualizes Monday Night Football’s development and explains how it informed the depiction of race on network television events beyond sports broadcasts.

Full textAbstract:
While plural logic can be interpreted in monadic second-order logic, the full system of second-order logic cannot be interpreted in plural logic. This means it is formally possible to eliminate plural logic in favor of monadic second-order logic. However, a number of philosophical considerations militate against such an elimination. The conclusion of this chapter echoes that of the preceding ones: although the two systems can occasionally be used for similar purposes, the notions they represent are different and must be kept apart.

In the aftermath of the sanitation strike and the assassination of Martin Luther King, the black community in Memphis achieved an unprecedented political mobilization, especially through the NAACP’s “Black Monday” protest. This essay employs local archival collections, newspapers, and personal interviews to show that in less than two months, the NAACP was able to create a unified front within the black community that forced rapid changes in the Memphis school system. While the NAACP organized downtown marches, pickets, and Monday boycotts of public schools, black youths vandalized schools and businesses before the approaching holiday season. At its height, more than 66,000 students and 600 teachers missed school to support the protest. By the time the boycott ended, the school board agreed to appoint two black advisers, a black assistant superintendent, and a black coordinator. The Black Monday protest was successful, but it also exposed the limitations of coalitions in the Black Power era, as moderates and radicals struggled to find common ground.

Full textAbstract:
Linear temporal logic over finite traces is used as a formalism for temporal specification in automated planning, process modelling and (runtime) verification. In this paper, we investigate first-order temporal logic over finite traces, lifting some known results to a more expressive setting. Satisfiability in the two-variable monodic fragment is shown to be EXPSPACE-complete, as for the infinite trace case, while it decreases to NEXPTIME when we consider finite traces bounded in the number of instants. This leads to new complexity results for temporal description logics over finite traces. We further investigate satisfiability and equivalences of formulas under a model-theoretic perspective, providing a set of semantic conditions that characterise when the distinction between reasoning over finite and infinite traces can be blurred. Finally, we apply these conditions to planning and verification.

Full textAbstract:
Data from an extensive experimental study of submerged jet impingement boiling performed with water at sub-atmospheric pressures and with FC-72 at atmospheric pressure are used to develop a predictive critical heat flux (CHF) correlation for use in thermal management of electronic components. The configuration was that of a circular submerged jet impinging on a high-thermal-capacity copper surface with a standoff distance of 6 nozzle diameters. Varied parameters included the Reynolds numbers (Re) from 0 (pool boiling) to 14000, surface-to-nozzle diameter ratios (by varying the nozzle diameter) from 25 to 6, system pressures (0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1 bar), surface roughness (123 nm, 33 nm), and system subcooling. CHF is found to increase with Re, system pressure, subcooling, and roughness and decreases with increase in nozzle diameter for a fixed Re. Comparison with correlations in literature indicated that data of sub-atmospheric jet impingement of water were poorly predicted by existing correlations while the Monde and Katto correlation [1] was found to predict the atmospheric jet impingement data with FC-72 within 10 percent at Re >4000. Data from the experiments were fitted to a submerged forced convective CHF model proposed by Haramura and Katto [2] to develop a correlation for submerged jet impingement boiling over a wide range of density ratios. Using this model, the entire CHF dataset from experiments can be predicted with a maximum error of less than 11 percent and an average error of less than 2.6 percent.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents some of the challenges faced during a project aimed at preparing long-term wave climatology in the Persian/Arabian Gulf. Using the hourly CFSR wind fields as forcing, an attempt was made to produce a comprehensive hydrodynamic and sea state conditions data set. By comparing the wave results to various in-situ and satellite measurements, an obvious seasonal difference was observed. Wave conditions were well reproduced during winter while the wave height was generally overestimated and scattered during the summer period. After comparing the wind fields against measurements it was believed that other sources were playing an important role in wave growth and propagation. Based on available measurements, it was shown that in the summer period, where the air temperature is higher than the sea temperature, wave growth rate is lower than in the winter period. Similar real cases have been reported in some lakes, but the influence of atmospheric stability on wave climate in a relatively large sea like The Gulf has not been documented yet to the authors’ knowledge. This paper focuses on the importance of including atmospheric stability effects into wave modelling. In order to account for the stability effects, the friction velocity and surface roughness were modified in the 3rd generation wind-wave model, MIKE 21 SW, using the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. Improvements were seen in the quality of modelled wave heights in the summer period. The Gulf is also highly affected by changes in the sea water density. The effects of varying water density on wave climate were also studied in this paper. In order to reproduce the best quality wave climatology in The Gulf, it was concluded that seasonal modelling is required and the effects of atmospheric stability should be included.

Full textAbstract:
Covid-19 pandemic has spread to the whole world from Wuhan, China in December, 2019 and seriously changed the daily life. While various measures have been taken to fight against the global pandemic in the whole world, transformations have occurred in business manners in many countries including Turkey. The public relations sector, which is an applied communication discipline managing the communication processes between the organization and target audience, has been affected by this process. Thus, how the pandemic period has affected the business manners of agencies and how the public relations profession has been actualized in agencies have been an object of interest. The main question of this study is how the pandemic period has affected the organizational culture in public relations agencies, and will these effects cause permanent changes in business manners in the agencies after the pandemic. The fact that most people have started making grocery shopping online due to Covid- 19 has increased the share of e-trade in the sector of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), which are also known as packaged consumption products. Public relations agencies serving in this sector have accelerated their communication activities especially during the pandemic. A semi-structured interview technique was applied to the representatives of seven public relations agencies serving in the fast moving consumer goods sector within the framework of the questions formed in line with the factors affecting the corporate culture according to Mondy (communication, motivation, leadership, management process, organizational structure and management style) in this study. The study found that hybrid working order (telecommuting/office working) was adopted by agency employees, the concept of office hours disappeared in agencies, the service process became 24/7 by the agency, digital communication tools accelerated the communication processes, and the business capacity of agencies increased. It is observed in line with these factors that pandemic period has caused both positive and negative permanent behavioral changes in the organizational culture of agencies.

Full textAbstract:
The Office of the Future (OTF) program is a new energy efficiency approach supported by a consortium of some of the nation’s largest and most progressive energy utilities. OTF targets existing multi-tenant commercial office buildings with packages of advanced energy efficiency strategies that can be applied at the tenant level for building owners. The overall goal is to assemble technical guidelines to office renovation projects that specify performance requirements for different attributes of the office (lighting, plug loads, etc.) and whole building that result in 25% and 50% savings better than code. Three pilot projects were conducted: 1. Executive office space 2. Open area office space 3. Office space with five private offices, a conference room, lobby, kitchen, and corridor The executive offices provided an opportunity to measure energy use in a 1,360 square-meters (m2) office and to undertake a relighting project that met the architectural, aesthetic, and functional demands of the space while employing current energy-efficient products and design techniques. The open area office space consisted of 745 m2 of primarily cubicle office space — half of the 12th floor of a federal building in Santa Monica, CA. The project was highly representative of the challenges and complications faced in retrofit projects in everyday office buildings. The office space with private offices involved renovating the lighting and lighting controls in a 147 m2 office space in the 41,156 m2 building, and summarized the performance of the lighting design in accordance with the OTF Technical Guidelines. In addition, this project included details regarding the pre- and post-lighting systems and controls, compares the actual metered power and energy performance of the 2008 Title 24 code baseline, presents the code calculation basis, and reveals some of the complexities associated with this approach. These pilot projects had three primary goals: 1) examine the performance characteristics of highly-controlled lighting systems in a real office environment compared to existing lighting and applicable codes, 2) monitor plug load energy use, and 3) provide measured and technical data back to OTF consortium members to inform the OTF process. The measured results of the open area office space project revealed that a high-performance lighting design with controls delivers savings considerably beyond code-calculated estimates. In fact, results show that during daytime occupied hours, the average site usage is 43% less power than code calculations. The new system reduced the connected load by 56%. Similar results were found for the other two pilot projects.
