Abstract:

We interrogate Nike’s implication in the developments of 1980s and 1990s popular feminisms by contextualizing and examining the advertising strategies deployed by Nike in its efforts to seduce women consumers. Although Nike is represented as progressive and pro-women, we demonstrate Nike’s alliance with normative forces dominating 1980s America. We suggest that Nike’s solicitation relies on the logic of addiction, which demonized those people most affected by post-Fordist dynamics. While Nike’s narrations of “empowerment” appeal to a deep, authentic self located at the crossroads of power and

Abstract:

Sejak berkembangnya fashion muslimah di dunia, ada banyak perusahaan –perusahaaan yang menayangkan perempuan Muslim berhijab pada iklan mereka, salah satu contohnya iklan pada produk Amerika. Iklan-iklan tersebut ialah Nike, American Eagle, Fenty Beauty, Covergirl,dan Gap. Fenomena ini layak untuk dikaji, karena terdapat sesuatu yang sangat bersifat kontradiktif. Amerika sangat mahsyur dengan Islamofobianya, sedangkan perempuan Muslim berhijab merupakan identitas dari agama Islam. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini hendak mengungkap makna dari model muslimah pada iklan-iklan produk Amerika tersebut.

Abstract The introduction of West Nile virus (WNV) to North America in 1999 and its subsequent rapid spread across the Americas demonstrated the potential impact of arboviral introductions to new regions, and this was reinforced by the subsequent introductions of chikungunya and Zika viruses. Extensive studies of host–pathogen–vector–environment interactions over the past two decades have illuminated many aspects of the ecology and evolution of WNV and other arboviruses, including the potential for pathogen adaptation to hosts and vectors, the influence of climate, land use and host immunity o

Nonnative fish introductions disrupt ecosystem processes and can drive native species to local extinction. Two of the most widespread, introduced species are the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from Eurasia and the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from Africa. In North and South America, these introductions stem from aquaculture facilities, as well as historical introductions for recreational angling.

Abstract In its spread west across North America in 2002, West Nile virus (WNV) reached a population of marked American Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) in Stillwater, Oklahoma, in late summer. Within two months, 46 of 120 individuals were missing or known to be dead, 39 of which (33% of the population) are estimated to have died for WNV-related reasons. In 2003, 56 of 78 marked crows disappeared or were found dead between June and November. Five of the 28 juvenile losses were possibly unrelated to WNV, thus we estimate that 65% of our population died because of this pathogen in 2003. The total l

Abstract:

Abstract In North America, the geographic distribution, ecology, and vectorial capacity of a diverse assemblage of mosquito species belonging to the genus Culex determine patterns of West Nile virus transmission and disease risk. East of the Mississippi River, mostly ornithophagic Culex pipiens L. complex mosquitoes drive intense enzootic transmission with relatively small numbers of human cases. Westward, the presence of highly competent Culex tarsalis (Coquillett) under arid climate and hot summers defines the regions with the highest human risk. West Nile virus human risk distribution is no

Abstract:

This paper reports results of analyses made at an all-female Gulf Arab university measuring the nature and extent of biases in students' evaluation of faculty. Comparisons are made with research reporting the nature of similar relationships in North America. Two issues are investigated: 1) What variables (if any) bias faculty evaluation results at an all-female Arab university? 2) Are biasing variables different in nature or magnitude to those reported at North America universities? Using the population of 13,300 faculty evaluation records collected over two school years at Zayed University, c

Abstract:

A checklist for woody Leguminosae in the South American Corridor of Dry Vegetation was based on published data (286 floristic lists) and collections from nine herbaria. A total of 781 species (117 genera and 16 tribes) were found. The Chaco showed highest species richness, despite having the lowest taxonomic distinctness index (∆*). Data from herbaria formed a large contribution to the evaluation of the diversity of the vegetation studied. Each vegetation type has a considerable number of endemic species, demonstrating the importance of conserving all types of seasonally dry vegetation present

Abstract:

The West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes significant morbidity and mortality in birds, horses, and humans. WNV-infection causes clinical symptoms such as WNV fever to fatal meningoencephalitis in humans. The emergence and spread of WNV from North America to South America during the last decade and the recent outbreaks of this disease in both humans and horses in Europe suggest that its epidemiology of infection is evolving. This review will present an overview ofWNV virology, vaccine development, and practical aspects of reducing risk of a possible WNV invasion in J

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The introduction of West Nile virus (WNV) into North America has been associated with relatively high rates of neurological disease and death in humans, birds, horses, and some other animals. Previous studies identified strains in both genetic lineage 1 and genetic lineage 2, including North American isolates of lineage 1, that were highly virulent in a mouse neuroinvasion model, while other strains were avirulent or significantly attenuated (D. W. C. Beasley, L. Li, M. T. Suderman, and A. D. T. Barrett, Virology 296:17-23, 2002). To begin to elucidate the basis for these differences,

Abstract:

The tribe Tigridieae (Iridoideae: Iridaceae) is a New World group with centres of diversity in Mexico and Andean South America. North America harbours 67 of the 172 species recognised within the tribe, 54 being endemic. Our aims were to identify areas of endemism of the North American Tigridieae using endemicity analysis (EA) and to infer their relationships using parsimony analysis of endemicity (PAE). A data matrix with 2769 geographical records of Tigridieae was analysed. The EA allowed to identify six consensus areas of endemism in Mexico. The PAE resulted in one cladogram with four clades

AbstractNine winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum Linnaeus) (Poaceae) were the source of the Sm1 gene for resistance to wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhin) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), in spring wheat. All nine showed antibiosis characteristic of Sm1, as expected. They also showed oviposition deterrence and reduced hatch, which contributed to overall resistance. The overall level of resistance of the nine winter wheat cultivars was usually lower than that of resistant spring wheat lines in laboratory trials, but equally high in a field trial.

Several infectious agents have emerged over the past two decades as a result of population migration and enhanced world travel. The introduction of arthropodborne infections to formerly unaffected geographic areas has occurred in the western hemisphere at an alarming rate. In 1999, the West Nile virus (WNV) first appeared in North America in Queens, New York and spread rapidly to infect bird and mosquito populations along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Significant human morbidity and mortality has been associated with the virus, with several patients deaths from encephalitis. Specific antiviral

Abstract:

Since the inception of modem policing in 1829, the policing styles of Britain and the United States have run incongruent courses. While the Metropolitan Police Department of London has stayed true to the principles first articulated by Sir Robert Peel, American policing has undergone several sweeping changes in the administration of service. These reinventions have hampered the establishment of a true ideology of police service in America. Through a comparative historical overview of these policing models, this article will strive to explain the reason behind the lack of acceptance of Peel's o

Abstract Source scaling relations have been obtained for earthquakes in eastern North America and other continental interiors, and compared with a relation obtained for earthquakes in western North America. The scaling relation for eastern North American earthquakes was constructed from measurements of seismic moment and source duration obtained by the waveform modeling of seismic body waves. The events used include nine events of mbLg magnitude 4.7 to 5.8 that occurred after 1960, and four earlier events with magnitudes between 5.5 and 6.6.
