Abstract:
The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is the premier center of African American and Afro-diasporic studies. Yet, as the literary scholar Vanessa Valdés argues, we know little of the center’s namesake and his drive to collect and establish a renowned archive that emphasized the history, experience, and culture of African descended peoples and communities. Employing Valdés’s Diasporic Blackness: The Life and Times of Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, this essay explores the politics of Afro-diasporic collection, archive, visibility, and futurity.

Abstract:
Este artículo presenta la biobibliografía y el trabajo del bibliófilo, archivista y bibliotecario negro Arturo Alfonso Schomburg en la organización y recopilación de recursos informativos que representan la experiencia y el pensamiento negro, africano y de la diáspora africana. Reflexiona sobre la memorabilia negra y la importancia de las colecciones negras para la preservación de la memoria, la historia y la cultura de los pueblos marginados en las sociedades occidentales racializadas. Luego, destaca la acción política de Schomburg en la creación y curaduría de colecciones negras, en particular, su colección privada que fue crucial para el inicio del Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, que incluso hace accesible la información sobre el aporte de la población negra y afrodiaspórica a las futuras generaciones. Se espera que la presente investigación suscite más estudios históricos de la biblioteconomía negra, especialmente en la lucha contra el discurso hegemónico que invisibiliza y hace ausente la contribución de los actores negros en diversas esferas sociales, profesionales y epistémicas.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1934, Aaron Douglas created an epic four-panel mural series, Aspects of Negro Life (1934), for the branch library on 135th Street in Manhattan, now the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. The panels answered a call, issued by the first major program for federal support of the arts in the United States, to represent “an American scene.” In them, Douglas traced the trajectory of African American history in four stages and across two mass migrations: from Africa into enslavement in America; through Emancipation and Reconstruction; into the modern Jim Crow South; and then northward with the Great Migration to Harlem itself. The narrative Douglas constructed was remarkable in both its historical sweep and as a story of America seen through Black eyes. This essay explores how Douglas's approach to the trenchant and understudied Aspects of Negro Life panels was shaped by rich conversations across a decade-about what it meant to be Black in America, how the “African” in “African-American” was to be understood, and what a distinctly African-American modernism might be-with an interdisciplinary nexus of thinkers, activists, and artists that included W. E. B. Du Bois; a co-founder of the NAACP and co-editor of the Crisis, sociologist Charles S. Johnson; poet-activist James Weldon Johnson; bibliophile Arturo Schomburg; and philosopher-critic Alain Locke. Looking at Douglas's visual narrative in this context offers insight into how parallel practices of archive-building, art making, history writing, and criticism came together not only to shape a vision of America but also to champion a model of Black modernism framed through diaspora.

Full text
Abstract:
In recent years anthropologists and literary critics, most importantly George Stocking Jr. (1983), James Clifford and George E. Marcus (1986), and Clifford Geertz (1987), have led the way to a closer reading of the writings of early anthropologists and a fuller exploration of the intellectual climates in which they were working. As the founder of African studies in this country, Melville J. Herskovits is of considerable importance in terms of related scholarship in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Although an anthropologist by training, Herskovits had a major impact on the development of African scholarship in many other disciplines—from the history of art to folklore to political and economic history. Herskovits' field research methodologies and orientations thus potentially are of considerable significance. Despite Herskovits' critical role in African studies, there has been relatively little scholarly interest to date in his African research methodologies.Herskovits' unpublished field notes of his Dahomey research provide us with an inside look at the principal field strategies and orientations of this important African scholar. These field materials today are housed in the archives of three different research institutions: The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City; the library of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois; and the Archives of Traditional Music at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The largest grouping of Herskovits' Dahomey field materials (journals, financial records, artifact collection, photographs, correspondence) are at the Schomburg Center. At Northwestern University are found various diary extracts, song transcriptions, and the bulk of Herskovits' early and later correspondence. Recordings that Herskovits made in the course of the Dahomey research are located at Indiana University.

Abstract:
The only traces of Etta Moten Barnett’s 1950s–’60s radio program, I Remember When, exist on well-worn cassette tapes (recently digitized) at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. On these tapes are the only traces of not only Moten Barnett’s own career but also the immense network of activists, educators, and Pan-Africanists with whom she interacted. Many of them are now long forgotten or exist in the footnotes of better-known figures (often their husbands). What could be considered a project of recovery is also a project of tracing the use Black women made of radio broadcasting. I Remember When also provides an intriguing counternarrative to existing scholarship on Cold War radio history, which instead of looking West to East and from the perspective of government propaganda, now traces the networks across the diaspora in the struggle for independence and self-determination. Bringing the focus to Etta Moten Barnett and other Black women in radio raises questions about their stake in citizenship and political solidarity in this period. Through transcribing original broadcast recordings, and reading correspondence and newspaper articles, this paper documents the process of recovery, the cultural connections between women across the African diaspora, and their formation of a global Black community.

Several libraries in New York City have exceptionally rich resources for the study of relations between African Americans and Jewish Americans. The holdings of and access to these collections are discussed; some sources in other parts of the U.S. are mentioned as well. The most important collection is in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, The New York Public Library. Besides books, there is a vast Clipping File, the unique Kaiser Index, manuscript collections, and some audio and visual materials. The Jewish Division of The New York Public Library has unparalleled holdings of Jewish newspapers from around the world, from which relevant articles can be derived. The libraries of the Jewish Theological Seminary and the VIVO Institute ,are also both fine sources. Their book holdings are up-to-date, and YIVO's clipping file is also, including such items as publicity releases from Mayors Koch and Dinkins. YIVO's archives have such important historical holdings as the American Jewish Committee Records (1930s to the 1970s), and some NAACP materials from the thirties and forties. Children's books on this top ic and ways of acquiring information are noted. A list of the major libraries, with addresses, telephone numbers, and hours is in an appendix.

Abstract:
Abstract There is currently a gap in the literature that explicitly connects Black feminist thought with psychological theory, research, or intervention. This article review aims to assist in filling the gap and inspire scholars to actively utilize the knowledge of Black feminism and apply it to culturally specific mental health resources for Black women. There is a need for a new generation of Black feminists to intentionally center Black women’s mental health in psychological research and therapeutic practices. Black women’s mental health is an important part of Black feminism, and accordingly psychological theory, research, and intervention should actively incorporate Black feminist thought. This article seeks to call attention to specific ways Black women can preserve and strengthen their mental health and maintain resiliency. Specifically, this review highlights three Black feminist-informed strategies that can aid in supporting Black women’s mental health: practicing essential/critical affirmations, raising Black consciousness, and intentional self-definition.

Abstract:
While an abundance of research focuses on how Black American entrepreneurs respond to systemic racism, less attention has been paid to examining how Black entrepreneurs outside the United States respond. This research addresses the extent to which entrepreneurship is a response to systematic racism, and “Black” businesses exist in a “color-blind” society. I examine Brazil because of its color-blind racial ideology; moreover, Afro-Brazilians comprise 54 percent of the country’s population and 50 percent of its entrepreneurs. Through participant observation and in-depth interviews at 28 Black-owned businesses, I find Afro-Brazilians challenge anti-Blackness through a process I call aquilombamento. As a method of entrepreneurial placemaking, I argue that aquilombamento enables Afro-Brazilian entrepreneurs to intentionally construct culturally significant physical spaces that openly resist and challenge the existing racial order. Aquilombamento functions through three mechanisms: (1) the entrepreneurs make Black culture readily perceivable, (2) the entrepreneurs center Black knowledge and understanding, and (3) the entrepreneurs conceive a community. In explicating aquilombamento, I illustrate an economic and symbolic value system that privileges Blackness in a “color-blind” society. I identify a critical distinction between Black-owned businesses and Black businesses. And, I underscore the important role of entrepreneurs in Black placemaking.

Abstract:
Stories are always grounded in personal, collective, and ancestral experiences and come in a variety of visual, performance, textile, and text-based forms. Physical culture participation and politics can be better understood by engaging with the stories of people facing ongoing colonial and epistemic injustices, intersectional oppressions, as well as structural and cultural racism. In contrast to dominant trends in the cultural politics of sport, this article offers an ontological, epistemological, and methodological alternative. Following Black and decolonial scholars, we must honor non-Western storytelling modalities to listen to, tell, show, and center many experiences to resist Western colonial culture's binary structures and hierarchies, introduce alternate theorizations, and inject other ways of knowing and being into the sport and physical cultures and into physical cultural studies. This article highlights several areas of Black and decolonial studies that will be essential to efforts at transformative justice in sport and sports scholarship: interdisciplinarity, the bios–mythoi relationship, counter-storytelling, and creation stories.

Abstract:
Abstract Racial disparities exist in dementia diagnosis, co-morbid health conditions, and socioeconomic characteristics between older Black and White adults, compounding caregiving responsibilities for Black families; yet few dementia caregiving programs offer culturally competent, family-centered dementia caregiving programs for Black individuals. In a collaboration between two community-based organizations (CBO) and an academic medical center, a culturally tailored, family-centered, dementia caregiving program for Black individuals on Chicago’s Far South Side was proposed. Local CBOs convened community members to co-design a key informant interview guide and conducted 30 interviews among Black dementia caregivers. The caregivers interviewed were primarily caring for parents or grandparents and shared caregiving responsibilities with other family members. Caregivers recommended the program focus on five top concerns related to their caregiving experience: 1) feelings of stress and burden while being committed to their family member with dementia, 2) education on the progression of dementia and discussion of cultural beliefs, 3) personal experiences with racism and intersectional identities, 4) kinship responsibilities and managing dementia-specific changes that occur with loved ones, and 5) a need for respite and local medical and community-based resources. Anticipated barriers to participation in this program included time, an accessible location to members of the far south, and care for family members during participation. Though a community-directed approach, we elevated Black dementia caregiver experiences to better understand the influence that race and culture has on Black caregivers, which will provide the foundation for a Black family-centered dementia caregiving program to build capacity in routine caregiving and reduce caregiver stress.

Abstract:
Entering Howard University's Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, one still passes through the “catalog room,” an antechamber filled with rows of card drawers. Inaugurated in 1930 by the librarian Dorothy Porter, this catalog of the “Negro Collection” served for much of the twentieth century as one of the only portals to African American print culture. This article reconstructs the creation of that catalog in order to chart the relation between infrastructure and racial imaginaries of reading. Porter contravened the routine misfiling of blackness in prevailing information systems by rewriting Dewey decimals, creating new taxonomies for black print, and fielding research inquiries from across the African diaspora. She built public access to books “by and about the Negro” at a moment when most black readers were barred from libraries. In so doing, she fueled a broader sense of what a black archive—or what Porter called a “literary museum”—might afford.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on promoting cultural competence in research and the care of vulnerable populations by establishing inter-university nursing partnership centers for health disparities research between historically Black universities and minority-serving institutions and research-intensive majority institutions. The Hampton-Penn Center to Reduce Health Disparities (HPC), an inter-university collaborative center funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) P20 funding mechanism, is discussed as the exemplar. The mission of the Hampton-Penn Center is to promote culturally competent research on health promotion and disease prevention and the examination of how culture, race and ethnicity and their interactions with the health care system and the larger society influence health outcomes and the occurrence of health disparities. The history, goals, and conceptual model underlying this collaborative effort between the University of Pennsylvania and Hampton University Schools of Nursing are described as are the accomplishments and lessons learned to date. Based upon the Hampton-Penn experience, recommendations for similar collaborations to reduce health disparities among vulnerable populations are made in three major areas: (a) increasing the study of the multi-system level factors that contribute to health disparities among vulnerable populations, (b) promoting the development of culturally competent research on health disparities, and (c) promoting the recruitment and training of health researchers who are themselves members of vulnerable populations.

Abstract:
Abstract African American communities are frequently depicted as victims of urban conditions. However, a rich culture of grassroots community development and organizing, often led and stewarded by Black women, exists. Many of these efforts involve enhancing economic, political, and educational opportunities and centering ethics of care and caregiving. This is the notion of Black placemaking, which is explicitly community-focused, shaping the social fabric of everyday life and allowing for the development of Black vernacular spaces that became vital to African-American culture. This paper examines how Black older women engage in placemaking by presenting three select case studies. Using a narrative inquiry approach, we conducted secondary data analysis of interviews drawn from larger qualitative studies about aging in communities that took place in San Francisco and New York City. Black feminist spatial imagination, embodiment, and intersectionality theory were our guiding frameworks. Our analysis revealed how the aging Black body is a site that is subjected to socio-political regulation and violence and illuminates how Black women are agents of community resilience, creativity, and transformation. Creating and holding space (i.e., placemaking) with bodies and physical structures that center the Black community is an act of care, self-determination, and resistance to white supremacy. These embodied processes of placemaking have wide-ranging implications for the ways Black neighborhoods are framed and discussed in popular media, empirical research, and policy. Furthermore, they invite a shift in our current approach to placemaking in later life, one that centers the strengths, history, and traditions of the Black community.

Abstract:
There is a body of research over the last three decades that has focused on the etiology of violence among victims of violent injury. This body of literature indicates that Black men are disproportionately represented among victims of violent injury seen in emergency departments and trauma centers across the country. Despite the disproportionate number of low-income young Black men treated for violent injury in urban trauma units and the growing body of literature accompanying it, little is known about the unique methodological challenges violent injury researchers face when conducting research on this vulnerable population in a clinical setting. This article describes the unique and often nuanced methodological difficulties a research team encountered while conducting a longitudinal qualitative study on risk factors for repeat violent injury among low-income young Black male victims of violent injury treated at a Level II trauma center in the Eastern United States. Four methodological challenges are identified: (a) the identification and screening of participants, (b) recruitment and interviewing, (c) understanding hospital culture, policies, and procedures, and (d) retention and attrition of sample. Recommendations to overcome these challenges are offered.

Abstract:
The work, on the one hand, highlights the mission of Europe, as an importer of knowledge, which has for centuries been the center of gravity for the whole world, and, on the other hand, the role of the Black Sea Region, as an important part of the Great Silk Road, which had also for a long time been promoting the process of rap-prochement and exchange of cultural values between East and West peoples, until it became the ‘inner lake’ of the Ottoman Empire, and today it reverts the function of rapproching and connecting civilizations. The article shows the importance of the Black Sea countries in maintaining overall European stability and in this context the role of historical science. On the backdrop of the ideological confrontation between Georgian historians being inside and outside the Iron Curtain, which began with the foundation of the Soviet Union, the research sheds light on the merit of the Georgian scholars-in-exile for both popularization of the Georgian culture and science in Eu-rope and for importing advanced (European) scientific knowledge to Georgia. Ex-change of knowledge in science and culture between the Black Sea region and Europe will enrich and complete each other through impact and each of them will have unique, inimitative features.

Abstract:
In the production of fresh-market vegetables, off-farm inputs, such as, plastic, nitrogen fertilizer, fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides are routinely used. One aim of the sustainable agriculture program at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center is to develop systems that reduce these inputs. We have completed the second year of a study designed to examine foliar disease progress, foliar disease management, and marketable fruit yield in staked fresh-market tomatoes grown in low- and high-input production systems. Specifically, four culture practices (black plastic mulch, hairy vetch mulch, dairy manure compost, and bare ground) were compared in conjunction with three foliar disease management treatments (no fungicide, weekly fungicide, and a foliar disease forecasting model, TOMCAST). Within all culture practices, use of the TOMCAST model reduced fungicide input nearly 50%, compared with the weekly fungicide treatment, without compromising productivity or disease management. With regard to disease level, a significant reduction of early blight disease severity within the hairy vetch mulch was observed in 1997 in relation to the other culture practices. Early blight disease severity within the black plastic and hairy vetch mulches was significantly less than that observed in the bare ground and compost treatments in 1998. In addition, despite a 50 % reduction in synthetic nitrogen input, the hairy vetch mulch generated yields of marketable fruit comparable to or greater than the other culture practices. It appears that low-input, sustainable, production systems can be developed that reduce the dependence on off-farm inputs of plastic, nitrogen fertilizer, and pesticides, yet generate competitive yields.

Abstract:
Various varieties of peach as a culture with an economically profitable and high early maturity have been described; some features of the weather conditions of the Black Sea coast during cultivation is given. The results of many years of physiological research, which have been carried out in the Laboratory of plant physiology and biochemistry of the Federal Research Center «Subtropical Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences» (earlier – VNIITSISK) have been presented. The objects of the research are peach leaves of the varieties of Redhaven (control), Nicholas I (Collins clone), Larisa, Krasnaya Zarya (Redhaven clone), Comanche, Sunbeam, Spring Call (Springold clone), Summerset. It has been found that the amount of water deficit does not exceed 12,1–14,2%, and the water content of the leaf blades ranges on average from 55,2% to 70% in the varieties of Redhaven, Comanche, Summerset, Larisa. As stressful situations intensify (drought, lack of moisture in plants, high air temperature and humidity) in the subtropical zone, the Comanche, Vesennyy Prizyk and Summerset varieties show a decrease in the synthesis of a, b, chlorophyll and in the most resistant varieties of Redhaven, Larisa, Krasnaya Zarya, Sunbeam and Nicholas I show its decrease. A high content of carotenoids is up to 0,52–0,65 units.

Abstract:
Background : The problem of poverty is a complex matter involving various aspects such as the fulfillment of food, health, education, employment and so on. Data from the Central Statistics Agency in 2014 shows that poverty rates are still high in Indonesia, which is around 13.8% in rural areas and 8.2% in urban areas. Poverty has a relationship with community welfare and health problems, including problems with the nutritional status of children under five.According to data from the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2013, 19.6% of children under five in Indonesia suffer from malnutrition and malnutrition. One of the long-term indicators for chronic malnutrition in children is childhood stunting. In 2013 in Indonesia as many as 37.3% of children under five, which is about 9 million children under five are short and very short. The efforts made according to this approach are to encourage an entrepreneurial culture, and encourage the emergence of small businesses, as well as encourage individual participation so that they can optimally utilize the entrepreneurial culture and the created business climate. One of the entrepreneurship is the production of black sticky rice tape. The biggest producer of black sticky rice tape in West Java Province is West Bandung Regency. Black sticky rice tape is a food that contains anthocyanins and has antioxidant activity and fiber. Methods : Community service is carried out in West Bandung Regency, Cililin sub-district, Kidan Pananjung Village because it is the location of a large black glutinous tape producer center in West Java and in this location research has been carried out related to the consumption of black sticky rice tape in the prevention of non-communicable diseases, namely metabolic syndrome and One of the recommendations of the research results is community development.Based on the above, it is necessary to do community service, namely: Community Empowerment through Training and Assistance in Applied Technology of Local Materials and Entrepreneurship to Cadres in Cililin District, West Bandung Regency. Results : The data from the pretest-posttest results of the effect of technology training on processed glutinous rice products in an effort to increase entrepreneurial abilities in Kidang Pananjung Village, Cililin District, West Bandung. Conclusion : Community Empowerment through Training and Assistance in Applied Technology of Local Materials and Entrepreneurship to Cadres in Cililin District is necessary to aplly.

Abstract:
Abstract Among older adults, physical activity (PA) remains a foundation for maintaining and improving health. However, over 25% of adults aged ≥ 50 engage in no physical activity outside of work hours (CDC 2016). PA does correlate with senior center participation but little is known about the social factors that contribute to sustaining senior center PA routines. We report on findings from qualitative interviews conducted with Black older adults (Nf22) on the “story” of their senior center involvement, particularly their PA participation. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim; co-authors independently conducted a line-by-line analysis to identify themes. They then reconciled and sorted themes. Four themes provided insights on participants’ PA engagement: 1) Retirement as opportunity; 2) Invitation and welcome; 3) Physician messaging; and 4) Sense of community. Participants strongly connected retirement with the opportunity to engage in regular PA; work and family obligations previously prevented PA in daily life. Participants also linked trying new PA programs to the senior center’s culture of extending one-to-one invitations. Physician messaging specifically “to exercise” provided additional validation for prioritizing senior center PA within daily schedules. Finally, a sense of community, of being missed if not attending, provided further incentive to sustain PA routines. These findings provide guidance and simple lessons that senior centers can employ to encourage participation in their PA programming. The themes may also inform the design of survey research examining patterns of PA among older adults.

Abstract:
This article explores Black trans and queer women’s use of digital media platforms to create alternate representations of themselves through a process that addresses health and healing beyond the purview of the biomedical industrial complex. These activities include trans women of color using Twitter to build networks of support and masculine of center people creating their own digital health zine, two projects that value the propagation of crowd-sourced knowledge and the creation of images that subvert dominant representations of their communities. I argue that this process of redefining representation interrupts the normative standards of bodily representation and health presented in popular and medical culture. My research connects the messages within the seemingly objective realm of biomedicine to the social contexts in which they emerge and are shared. By highlighting two examples where I see these connections being made, I shift attention to the images deployed to redefine representations within these liminal communities.

Abstract:
The paper considers the need to create an innovative health and rehabilitation center due to the long-term military aggression of russia. The latter leads to the fact that many military and civilians receive physical and psychological injuries that need to be treated. At the first stage of rehabilitation, these problems are solved by special medical facilities, while the restoration of both physical and psychological condition should be carried out outside hospitals. One of these facilities could be health and rehabilitation centers on a national scale. Such centers can be formed on the basis of existing sports complexes, where there is a basis for carrying out appropriate actions. The article uses the example of the Olimp sports complex located on the Black Sea coast to illustrate the prospects of this area. The relevance of the work is due to the needs of the present and the principles of sustainable development of society, which combines social (human factor), economic (economic factor) and environmental (health improvement through a clean environment) components. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the creation of an innovative health and rehabilitation center on the basis of the Olimp sports complex for military and civilians suffering from physical and psychological injuries. Research methods: analysis and evaluation of economic activities; methods of generalization for the study of activities; observation method for the study of economic activities of FSC Olimp and the peculiarities of its services. The results of the work include: research on the needs of creating a health and rehabilitation center; identification of the main forms and types of work of the health and rehabilitation center; analysis of the activity of the physical culture and sports complex "Olympus"; assessment of the importance of introducing health and rehabilitation services; development of ways of innovative health and rehabilitation activities. The scientific novelty lies in the development of innovative approaches for the creation of a health and rehabilitation center that can operate on the basis of the Olimp sports complex. Practical significance of the results. The system for creating an innovative health and rehabilitation center is proposed for a specific existing enterprise and can be implemented in the near future. The developed recommendations can be used for a similar type of enterprise.

Abstract Fish flour is raw materials of main protein source for fish feed, however because of its existence day by day gets expensive so that the other alternative feed material needed as the alternate of fish flour that is maggot which is the larva of insects kind of fly which contains crude protein about 42%. This Study was held in Research and Aquaculture Cultivation Center of Ornamental Fish Depok, West Java in January 14th until February 14th 2013. The goal of this Study is to know the aplication of black soldier fly larval (Hermetia illucens) as the feed of rainbow kurumoi fish (Melanotaenia parva). Maggot culture was undertaken by mixing PKM and water with the comparison of 1:2 then fermented in fiber basin. Then interspersed with wire and above it there was a dry banana leaf to lay the eggs and covered by wire again, and then eggs harvesting was undertaken which was moved to the egg hatching basin which contain PKM which had been fermented. After 2 weeks maggot was ready to be harvested from the hatching basin. Maggot and maggot pellets could fulfill the need of nutrition for rainbow kurumoi fish, this case could be seen by the existence of weight increase and length increase of the fish.

Abstract:
The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the use of the Black communication style by African Americans in an organized environment. The research method which was used involved a multimethod approach of data collection in the field using direct observation, and obtrusive observations, as well as semi-structured interviews. This investigation has shown that although the Black employees in this organization felt, in general, as if they were changing their communication style to fit the organizational norms, they continued to rely on the cultural norms underlying the Black communication style. U.S. demographics are foretelling a future that will require innovative organizational communication strategies. According to Fine, two facts about the U.S. corporate environment which are uncovered by demographic trends are that the workforce will be comprised of a “greater diversity of gender, race, age, culture, and language” and that the demand for qualified workers will exceed the supply thereby “creating intense competition among organizations for workers” [1]. These changing demographics are not going unnoticed by the U.S. corporate leaders. Specifically, the issues of most concern to organizational executives, according to Workforce 2000, center around linguistic and cultural differences. Most organizations have no innovative strategies for meeting the demands of a diverse workforce. Traditional programs, such as day-care provisions, flexible work times, and hiring and recruiting more people of color are being implemented by corporate America in an effort to meet the demand for diversity. However, organizations are often lacking in creative programs which will provide for this emerging diverse workforce an environment that will accept and nurture their diversity. Certainly these corporate executives are receiving little in the way of guidance from organizational researchers.

The need for extend the urban horticulture to cover the food security demands, to mitigate CO2 emissions and avoid the extreme heat waves drive this study to investigate the ability of using soilless culture systems, vermicomposting technology and net cover in producing vegetables in urban area in summer season. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different vermicompost rates mixed with the standard substrate peat moss: perlite (perlite: peat moss: vermicompost (45:45:10) (Mix.10%), perlite: peat moss: vermicompost (40:40:20) (Mix.20%), perlite: peat moss: vermicompost (35:35:30) (Mix.30%) and perlite: peat moss (50:50 V/V) (Control) under three microclimate conditions (plants covered with black net, white net and without cover) on vegetative growth and yield of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Reda) grown in pots culture during summer seasons of 2012 and 2013 at the Central Laboratory for Agricultural Climate, Agricultural Research Center, Dokki, Giza Governorate. Physical and chemical properties of substrates, vegetative growth and yield characteristics, agrometerological data and mineral contents were determined. The obtained data indicated that vermicomposting could contribute in mitigate CO2 emission, save the essential nutrients and energy via recycling the urban organic wastes to vermicompost. The physical and chemical properties were affected by vermicompost. The best vegetative growth and yield of sweet pepper were given by (Mix.20%) vermicompost mixture followed by (Mix.10%) and (Mix.30%) vermicompost mixture. There were also significant differences between cover net treatments in affecting vegetative growth and yield of pepper, the white net was superior for producing pepper during the summer season; while the black net gave the lowest plant growth and yield. The best treatment was (Mix.20%) vermicompost mixture with white net cover, while the lowest vegetative growth and yield were obtained by (Control) vermicompost mixture with black cover net during the two tested seasons. These results suggested that vermicomposting and green roof can be used in urban area for producing food instead of incineration the urban organic wastes or imported food from rural area and using white cover net to improve the pepper growth and productivity during summer season.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: Infections are a significant cause for morbidity and mortality in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In this population, fever remains the best clinical indicator of infection. Fever is also the hallmark clinical sign of CRS. Blinatumomab is a novel bispecific T-cell engaging immunomodulatory antibody recently approved for relapsed refractory Philadelphia Chromosome negative ALL. Infections can occur in approximately 25% of patients receiving blinatumomab, and it also has a black-box warning for CRS. Given that fever can indicate both infection and/or CRS, here we aim to characterize and describe the incidence of fever and relevant clinical outcomes that can occur with blinatumomab treatment. Methods: Patients treated with blinatumomab at our institution from February 2012 to February 2015 were included in this single-center retrospective cohort analysis. Only patients who received a complete cycle of blinatumomab were included in this study. Baseline characteristics including age, gender, and number of prior therapies were collected. Fever was defined as a single temperature ≥38.3°C at any point during the treatment cycle. Culture data, radiographic imaging, antimicrobial therapy and progress notes were reviewed to determine incidence of neutropenia, febrile neutropenia (FN), culture positive FN, culture negative FN with high clinical suspicion for infection, CRS, and culture positive FN in addition to CRS. Results: A total 40 patients completed 72 cycles of blinatumomab during the study period. The patient population was mostly male (73%) with a median age of 29 years (range: 19-76) and had received a median of 3 prior therapies. Fever occurred in 68% (n=27) of all patients during the first cycle, and it occurred in 54% (n=39) of all cycles. Fever during the first cycle was associated with response [Complete Response (CR), CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi)] to blinatumomab - 50% (n=20) of patients with fever had response compared to 30% (n=12) of patients without fever and no response (p<0.001). Culture positive infections were noted in 31% (n=22) of all cycles. A small proportion of cycles, 14% (n=10), had an active or incompletely treated infection immediately prior to the start of therapy. After adjustment for confounding factors (i.e., infection at baseline, contaminate cultures, asymptomatic bacteruria), the culture positive rate was 18% (n=13). Neutropenia, FN, and CRS was observed in 60% (n=43), 42% (n=30), and 36% (n=26) of cycles, respectively. Non-neutropenic fever occurred in 13% (n=9) of the cycles. Of those with FN, 50% (n=15) were culture positive, 3% (n=1) were culture negative with high suspicion for infection and after adjustment for confounding factors, the culture positive FN rate decreased to 33% (n=10). FN in addition to CRS occurred in 25% of cycles (n=18); 28% (n=5) of these cycles were culture positive but after adjustment for confounding factors, this rate decreased to 17% (n=3). Conclusions: The current analysis indicates that with blinatumomab about half of the cycles commonly experience fever and that FN remains a concern. Interestingly, high rates of culture positive FN were observed; however, after adjustment for confounding factors this rate decreased to rates comparable to those observed with other hematologic therapies. In this setting clinicians should continue to treat FN with broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Furthermore, patients with FN in addition to CRS receiving blinatumomab have low culture positive rates, which suggests that fever may be related to CRS as opposed to FN. While more research is needed, our data also demonstrates that fever correlates with response to blinatumomab.

The purpose of the research was to conduct scientific and economic tests of the universal microbiological starter culture of probiotic action Biolax-U for the prevention and treatment of dysbiosis in heifers and to determine its effect on the live weight gain of young animals. Experimental investigations have been conducted in two farms in the Republic of Bashkortostan, where two groups of heifers (control and experimental) of Black-and-White breed of the preweaning rearing period have been formed, selected according to the method of pairs of analogues, taking into account origin, age, live weight. The expediency of using the universal microbiological starter culture of probiotic action Biolax-U as a medicinal product in the diets of calves has been investigated. Feeding of the universal microbiological starter culture of probiotic action Biolax-U allowed us to increase the average daily gains in the live weight of young animals, to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. It has been found according to the results of control weighings of heifers that the live weight of heifers of the experimental groups was higher by the end of the experiment than the control herdmates in both experiments, and in the first experiment the difference was statistically significant at P < 0,01. It has been found that the absolute gain in the live weight of animals of the experimental groups receiving Biolax-U exceeded the control herdmates in the first experiment by 8,3 kg or 10,0 %, in the second experiment by 7,6 kg or 9,9 % as the result of improving the digestive system, increasing the digestibility and availability of feed in the diet.

Abstract:
Black elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) is grown in Switzerland for flower and fruit production. Flowers are used for candy and syrup production, whereas the fruits are directly consumed as berries. In autumn 2008, the diagnostic laboratory of Agroscope ACW received a sample of strongly shriveled elderberry fruits from the extension office of the canton of St. Gallen. The sample originated from an experimental plot at Flawil, where 80% of the berries exhibited these symptoms. In years with high rainfall, infections of 100% of the berries can be observed in the production areas of Switzerland. Symptoms of anthracnose are only visible on the fruits, but not on the other plant organs. Berries start to shrivel when turning from green to black, and sporulation can be observed on ripe fruits under humid weather conditions. The sample was incubated in a moist chamber at room temperature, where it formed abundant acervuli producing salmon-colored spores at the fruit surface. Isolation from the acervuli on potato dextrose agar (PDA) containing an antibiotic (chlortetracycline) resulted in the growth of white to grey mycelium with salmon-colored spore masses. The reverse side of the PDA was red to violet. One-celled conidiospores were primarily fusiform, with an average size of 16.5 × 4 μm. Based on these morphological traits, the pathogen was previously identified as Colletotrichum acutatum J. H. Simmonds (2). A PCR using the primers CaInt2 and ITS4 (1) was run on a pure culture of the isolate from elderberry and confirmed this identification. A pathogenicity test was conducted from May to August 2010. The isolate from black elderberry and an isolate of C. acutatum from highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) were multiplied separately on PDA on the laboratory bench (23 ± 2°C) for one week. Conidiospore suspensions of each isolate were prepared with 0.9% sterile NaCl solution and were adjusted to 1.2 × 106 spores/ml. Flower clusters of a single black elderberry tree at the Agroscope Research Center were inoculated at full flowering stage on May 26, 2010. Two sets of three healthy clusters were sprayed separately with the two spore suspensions until run-off. Spraying three healthy clusters with a sterile 0.9% NaCl solution served as control treatment. Immediately after inoculation, flower clusters were enclosed individually in transparent polyethylene bags for 2 days. To avoid excessive temperature inside the bags caused by solar radiation, the bagged flower clusters were placed below the leaves of the elderberry tree. During the 2 days, the average air temperature measured at the research center was 17 ± 2.5°C. Bags were removed and fruits of the treated clusters were harvested on July 27, 2010. Each cluster was incubated individually in a moist chamber on the laboratory bench (23 ± 2°C) for 10 days. Abundant formation of acervuli producing salmon-colored spores occurred on the fruits inoculated with either strain of C. acutatum. No such symptoms were produced on incubated fruits of the control treatment. From acervuli of the inoculated fruits, C. acutatum was reisolated on PDA. To our knowledge, this is the first report of C. acutatum on black elderberry. In Switzerland, a fungicide containing the active ingredient trifloxystrobine is registered to control C. acutatum on black elderberry. References: (1) S. K. Sreenivasaprasad et al.

Abstract:
Hip Hop has been a cultural wave creating and modifying the revolution started in the 1970s by Black people against systemic oppression, and while it manifests itself as a commodified narrativization against racism, sexism and other equally troublesome oppressive ideologies, it becomes a site for change through ethnographic performativity. Spoken Word poets have used this tool to bring marginal narratives to the center and challenge the heteropatriarchal lens, misogynoir and racist practices all around the world. Spoken word poetry has not been researched analytically or theoretically much previously, and even when it was, the research and statistics were limited to the technical aspects of performance. This paper deals with the idea of culture being a site for performance, and simultaneously performance being the action that precedes stereotypes and false representations of marginalized cultures throughout the global north. The spoken word poets use the stage as a liminal space for a multiplicity of cultures to thrive, and challenge the oppressive tools, including that of language, clothing, and voice used by mainstream cultures to oppress the said communities, and normalize their own traditions and morals. The paper reveals the performative tactics used by spoken word poets in order to deinstitutionalize systems of power, and establish a counter narrative of their own as a form of revolution.

Abstract:
Tea holds a special place in Iranian culture, ranking as the most widely consumed beverage after water. A significant portion of Iran’s domestic tea production (approximately 70%) originates from the lush landscapes of Gilan province. The Iranian Tea Research Center (ITRC) claims that Iranian tea is pesticide-free. However, there is a concern that tea farms in the foothills may be exposed to pesticide spraying from nearby citrus gardens. This study aimed to investigate the presence of the 17 organophosphorus pesticides in tea leaf samples collected from tea plantation areas in Gilan province. Sample preparation was carried out using the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction method, followed by the determination of pesticide concentrations using the gas chromatography (GC) method. To assess the non-carcinogenic risk associated with the consumption of black tea due to pesticide residues, we followed the guidelines provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The results were striking, revealing the presence of pesticide residues in all tested samples, raising concerns about the purity of Iranian tea. Notably, the hazard quotient (HQ) for children (<15 years old) exceeded that for adults (>15 years old). Furthermore, spring-harvested tea samples demonstrated higher HQs compared to their autumn counterparts.

Abstract:
187 Background: Place of death (PoD) is a surrogate determinant of health care inequity in patients with cancer. Aggregation of Asian Americans, a diverse group, may mask significant health disparities in end-of-life care. Methods: De-identified death certificate data were obtained via the National Center for Health Statistics. All adult (> 18 years of age) prostate cancer deaths from 2018 to 2019 were included. Multinomial logistic regression was used to test for differences in place of death associated with sociodemographic variables. Results: From 2018 through 2019, 81,292 adults died from prostate cancer. Overall, most Asians were less likely to die at home (p < 0.05) or nursing facility (p < 0.05) compared to White patients. Significant differences in nursing facility use was noted in disaggregated analysis, with Samoan patients 12.44 times more likely to die in a hospice facility compared to hospital (CI 2.89, 53.6; p < 0.001) and Chinese patients 100 times less likely to die in a hospice facility (CI 0.01, 0.02; p < 0.001) to give two notable examples. Chinese (OR 0.26), Guamanian (OR 0.2), and Vietnamese race (OR 0.05) had the lowest likelihood of dying at home, with odds ratio lower than Black race (OR 0.3) (Table). Conclusions: Increased attention to PoD over recent years has highlighted issues around equity in end-of-life care. Overall, our data underscore important differences among Asian subpopulations and possible barriers to quality end of life care that would otherwise be masked with data aggregation. It is well known that resources are needed to allow death at home or at a nursing facility. Further qualitative work is planned to investigate culture differences contributing to PoD differences for patients with cancer through the lens of the social determinants of health.

Abstract:
The research aimed to study the productivity of blackberry foreign varieties (Rubus subgenus Rubus Watson) in the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe part of Ukraine as they are attractive for production due to their fruit taste and appearance. The task was to establish the beginning and duration of fruiting of blackberry varieties, to determine the yield level and the quality of the berries. A fi eld experiment was conducted on the experimental fi eld of the Scientific and Research Center of BNAU to assess the productivity of blackberry varieties. The studies were started in the spring of 2017 on blackberry seedlings with growing the culture in vitro in the biotechnological laboratory of the university. The tests included 5 varieties with climbing shoots: Smoothstem, Thornfree, Black Satin, Triple Crown, Arapaho. According to the results of observations, it was found that for two years of fruiting among the studied varieties, the earliest production was received in the Arapaho variety, in the first decade of July. Triple Crown, with the fi rst fruits ripened on August 2, was characterized by late fruiting. The Triple Crown variety diff ered by the longest period of berry coming – 35 days. The yield obtained in a year after planting is not an indicator of long-term crop yields. However, the Triple Crown variety diff ered by the highest yield in the fi rst year of fruiting, with an average of 3.7 kg of berries obtained from a bush. High yields were also observed in the Smoothstem variety. Black Satin variety was characterized by the high level of yield growth for over two years of fruiting, which amounted to 80 %. The largest in the fi rst years of fruiting were Triple Crown fruits with an average weight of 11.1 g. The maximum weight of individual berries of this variety reached 17.7 g. The Arapaho variety also stood out with its large fruits of 8.5 g on average. Some fruits reached a maximum weight of 12.1 g. Key words: blackberry, the beginning of fruiting, productivity, average weight of berries, duration of products supply.

Abstract:
Petunia × hybrida Wave series cultivars were observed with symptoms of tan to brown stem lesions, wilt, and branch death in a demonstration/trial planting at Burden Research Center in Baton Rouge, LA, during January and February 2000. Disease signs included the presence of white, cottony mycelia on infected stems and the presence of black sclerotia. Seventeen of 131 plants were infected on 20 February and included individuals of cvs. Wave Purple, Wave Rose, Wave Misty Lilac, Wave Pink, Tidal Wave Hot Pink, and Tidal Wave Cherry. Isolations were made by placing diseased stem sections on acidified potato-dextrose agar. A fungus that produced white mycelia and black sclerotia was consistently isolated from infected stems and identified as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Pathogenicity tests were done by pipetting 1 to 2 ml of blended mycelia and sclerotia (one plate culture blended in 100 ml distilled water) at the base of flowering-age Wave series plants. Plants were held for 3 days in a dew chamber maintained at 22°C and then moved to a greenhouse held at 25°C. Wilt and branch death developed on inoculated plants after 5 days and S. sclerotiorum was reisolated. Uninoculated plants remained healthy. Wave series cultivars have a prostrate growth habit that is conducive to disease development. No plants in the trial planting were killed and infected plants had recovered by 1 May and had uniformly covered the plant bed. Sclerotinia blight was previously reported on Petunia × hybrida from Bermuda (2) and Florida (1). References: (1) D. F. Farr et al. 1989. Fungi on Plants and Plant Products in the United States.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to explain the unusually high for provincial city percentage of Roman denarii among the coins of ancient Olbia. Research methodology – principles of science, historicism, objectivity, generalization, historical-genetic and historical-typological. Scientific novelty. Some researchers of Olbia connected the final stage of its history with presence of barbarians, carriers of the Chernyakhiv culture (the second third of 3rd – the beginning of 5th c., the dominant population – the Goths). Other researchers believed that the material culture of the city retains its ancient character to the end. Modern analysis of finds from the late Roman layers of Olbia and its surroundings demonstrates undeniable Chernyakhiv analogies and shows the inclusion of the city in political and economic system of barbarians. The truth of this statement can be verified by comparing the numismatic materials of Chernyakhiv culture and Olbia of Roman times. In the area of this culture within the borders of former USSR, finds of more than 26 thousand Roman coins have been recorded. Coins modern to this culture (3rd – 4th c.) are a minority, and 78,7% are represented by earlier silver denarii of the 1st – 2nd c. The barbarians received these denarii from Rome as military contributions and subsidies or wage to military units. Some coins were put into circulation for internal payments. P. Karyshkovsky made statistical calculations of coins of the 1st – 4th c. from Olbia and found some local peculiarity. Unlike other ancient cities of Northern and Western Black Sea coast, among the Roman and provincial coins found in Olbia, the majority are denarii of the 1st – 2nd c.: 53,5% of finds. However, in Histria city (Western Black Sea Coast) denarii make only 17,3%. The peculiarity of Olbia collection can be explained by the history of this city. After the Gothic conquest (between the late 250s and early 270s), Olbia was reborn as small fortified town, a trade and craft center inhabited by Goth barbarians. The distribution of coin finds from the second half of 3rd to the beginning of 5th c. corresponds to the situation in Chernyakhiv culture. Issues of coins of that time came to its population in small quantities. However, the barbarians owned a large mass of old denarii of 1st – 2nd c. Some of them fall into the cultural layer of Olbia, which creates a false picture of money circulation of the city in early Roman times. The percentage of such denarii in Olbia without the participation of the later “Chernyakhiv” addition should be close to the percentage of denarii in Histria (17,3%). Conclusions. A feature of the money circulation of Olbia in Roman times is relatively large number of finds of denarii of the 1st – 2nd c. This can be explained by the fact that in the third quarter of 3rd c. the city was included into political and economic system of Chernyakhiv culture, where the main currency was the silver denarii of the 1st – 2nd c., which by that time were out of circulation in the Empire. The Olbia collection of Roman coins should be divided into the “Ancient” and “Chernyakhiv” (or “Late Antique”) periods, and the latter, in addition to coins of the second half of 3rd – 4th c., contains most of the denarii of the 1st – 2nd c.

Abstract:
Relevance. The annual increase in the area under the eggplant culture in small farms and the individual sector is explained by high nutritional, dietary, taste, and also the multi-purpose use of fruits. For optimal growth and development, eggplant needs a high amount of active temperature, which greatly limits the cultivation of crops in many regions of Russia. However, the egg-plant growing area is expanded through the use of industrial and film unheated greenhouses. The development of technology elements for growing eggplant in film greenhouses is relevant, as it contributes to an increase in the area of farms.Materials and methods. The aim of the research was to substantiate the elements of the technology for growing eggplant in film unheated soil greenhouses. The studies were carried out in 2018-2019 at the base of the Educational and Scientific Production Center “Vegetable Experimental Station named after IN AND. Edelstein» RGAU-Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev in the summer-autumn turnover in a film unheated soil greenhouse. The objects of research were varieties and F1 eggplant hybrids: F1 Borovichok, F1 Bagira, F1 Tender, F1 Patio Trio, as a control they used a hybrid F1 Pelican; eggplant varieties: Mushroom pleasure, Black handsome, Don Quixote, they used the Frant variety as a control.Results. In general, based on the results of studying the influence of the formation of two and three stalked eggplant varieties and hybrids on the total yield in the conditions of summer-autumn turnover in film soil greenhouses, we recommend that all studied hybrids and varieties be grown in three shoots.

Abstract Background Portable equipment that is shared among patients can be a potential source of pathogen dissemination. In busy healthcare settings, cleaning of shared medical equipment may be suboptimal. In addition, equipment such as ultrasound probe heads present a challenge because sporicidal cleaning solutions such as bleach cannot be used. Methods We conducted a culture survey of ultrasounds in 15 intensive care units (ICUs) at a large tertiary care referral center, including medical, surgical, neurology, cardiology, and cardiovascular ICUs. Multiple high-touch surfaces on different types of ultrasound equipment used in the ICUs were swabbed to assess for the presence of Clostridium difficile and antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. To assess cleaning, a fluorescent marker visible only under UV light was placed on high-touch surfaces on each of the cultured ultrasounds and a black light was used determine if the marker was removed after 24 hours and again after 1 week. Results Of 15 ultrasounds cultured, 7% were contaminated with C. difficile spores and 7% were contaminated with Gram-negative bacilli. Based on fluorescent marker removal, only 20% of the ultrasounds were cleaned within 24 hours and only 31% were cleaned within 1 week. Ultrasounds with touchscreens were cleaned more frequently than those with no touchscreen. For equipment with a combination of touchscreen features and knobs, the touchscreens were cleaned more often than the knobs which often had residual marker even after 7 days. Conclusion Ultrasound equipment can be a vector for transmission of C. difficile and other pathogens in critical care settings. In our facility, cleaning of ultrasound equipment was suboptimal, particularly for ultrasounds that did not have a touchscreen interface. Since ultrasounds are being employed in critical care settings with increasing frequency, there is a need for improved methods for cleaning and disinfection. Disclosures A.

Abstract:
Presented research aimed at studying the energy-protein supplement’s effect on cows’ milk productivity. The authors conducted a scientific and economic experiment in 2021 based on the branch of the Siberian Research Institute of Fodder of Siberian Federal Research Center of Agrobiotechnologies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Komsomolskoye livestock breeding farm of Pavlovsky district of Altai region. The study was conducted on four groups of cows of the Ob river region type of Black-and-White breed. Lactation cows of the control group were given a basic ration with the addition of 1 kg of feed concentrate. In the primary allocation, the authors added an energy protein supplement to the main diet for experimental groups at 500 to 1000 g/head—per day. It included vegetable feed (distiller’s grain, oil cake and soybean meal, corn gluten, sunflower meal, lupine), animal meal (blood and poultry meat), yeast culture Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Y1242), synthetic methionine and lysine, organic chromium and unique flavor and aroma additives. The mechanism of action of the additive is aimed at increasing the intensity of digestion, optimizing protein and fat metabolism in the body, and ensuring the growth of the rumen microflora. The main qualitative parameters of the new energy-protein supplement: are crude protein - 60%, exchange interaction energy - 11.5 MJ, lysine - 1.8%, methionine - 0.3, calcium - 2.0, and phosphorus - 1.0%. Furthermore, feeding energy-protein feed supplements in diets positively affected the average daily milk yield of cows during the experiment period. Thus, the average daily milk yield in the experimental groups increased by 3.4-9.2 kg compared to the control group of animals. Therefore, according to the experiment results, it was found that the most optimal dose of energy-protein supplement should be considered 750 g/cow per day, which contributes to an increase in milk productivity throughout the experiment by 10.1% (P≤0.05).
