Abstract:
AbstractAn estimated 14,000 persons who are deaf (PWAD) reside in Barbados, many of whom are believed to live below the poverty line. Data on the employment status of PWAD in Barbados is sparse; this research seeks to fill a gap in the literature and inform social policy. Qualitative methodologies were utilized to understand how participation in the labour market influences the lives of PWAD in Barbados. The current research seeks to inquire into the phenomenological field of five persons who are deaf through a multiple case study strategy using focus group interviews. Data were analysed to derive themes common across participants and ecological systems theory was used to understand how PWAD cope in the world of work. The following research questions are addressed in an attempt to capture the unique perspectives of PWAD: (1) What are the experiences of persons who are deaf and employed? and (2) How does having a disability impact the lives of PWAD? The data revealed a relationship between environmental stressors such as attitudinal barriers and discrimination in the workplace and their psychological and behavioural impact in the form of resignation, frustration, isolation and creative coping among PWAD.

Abstract:
The present study deals with three species of Alpheus, including two new species, living symbiotically in burrows of innkeeper worms (Echiura: Thalassematidae) on the tropical coasts of the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. Alpheus christofferseni n. sp. is described on the basis of four specimens from Atol das Rocas, northwestern Brazil, and one specimen from Bocas del Toro, Caribbean coast of Panama. All specimens of this species were collected with suction pumps from burrows on intertidal or shallow subtidal sandflats; the Panamanian specimen was collected together with its echiuran host, Ochetostoma cf. edax (Fisher, 1946). Alpheus naos n. sp. is described on the basis of a single specimen found together with its host, Listriolobus sp., under large intertidal mud-covered rocks of Punta Culebra, Isla Naos, Pacific coast of Panama. Finally, two specimens of Alpheus aequus Kim & Abele, 1988 were collected together with their hosts, Ochetostoma edax, in the mixed rock-sand-mud intertidal of Coiba, Pacific coast of Panama. Remarkably, these three species are nearly identical in morphology and are also similar in color patterns. However, despite their morphological and ecological similarities, they are among the most genetically distinct of transisthmian alpheid geminate taxa examined to date. Genetic analyses suggest that A. aequus and A. naos n. sp. form an eastern Pacific clade whose sister taxon is the slightly more distantly related western Atlantic A. christofferseni n. sp. Estimated divergence times are ~10 mya for the two eastern Pacific species, and ~11–12 mya for the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific clades. Within Alpheus, A. christofferseni n. sp., A. aequus and A. naos n. sp. belong to the pantropical A. barbatus Coutière, 1897 species complex (A. barbatus clade), which also includes the eastern Atlantic A. ribeiroae Anker & Dworschak, 2004 and the Indo-West Pacific A. barbatus. The association of all three American species with thalassematid echiurans, as well as previous reports of associations between A. barbatus and echiurans in the western Pacific, suggest that this symbiosis is relatively ancient, having evolved in the ancestor of the A. barbatus clade (at least 12 mya and probably earlier).

Abstract:
AbstractThe infection by Opecoeloides furcatus and Poracanthium furcatum (Opecoeliidae) was studied in 121 Mullus barbatus and 113 M. surmuletus collected from the Spanish south-eastern Mediterranean. The prevalence of infection was most frequent in M. surmuletus with values of 81.42% for O. furcatus and 38.05% for P. furcatum. In M. barbatus the prevalences of O. furcatus and P. furcatum were 54.54% and 14.88% respectively. Statistically significant differences were found between the infection of the two hosts with P. furcatum. No significant differences in worm burdens could be attributable to host size or to seasonal changes, although a lower infection of M. barbatus by O. furcatus occurred in the autumn. Furthermore, the electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme malic dehydrogenase (MDH) was also studied and both digeneans presented different patterns, corresponding in both cases to homozygotic genotypes.

Abstract:
The effects of the latex extract of Jatropha curcas on mortality rate, opercular ventilation rate and some behavioural responses of Oreochromis niloticus juveniles were investigated under laboratory conditions over a 96 hours exposure period. Juveniles of Oreochromis niloticus (Trewavas) were exposed in plastic aquaria to 0.00mg.l-1 (control), 10mg.l-1, 15mg.l-1, 20mg.l-1, 25mg.l-1 and 30mg.l-1. Their opercular beats per minute, tail fin beats per minute, mortality and probit kill were determined. Symptoms of toxicosis observed include agitated swimming, loss of equilibrium, air gulping, periods of quiescence and death. Within 24 hours the opercular ventilation beats and tail fin beats of the exposed fish were significantly higher than in control fish (p<0.05). At 72 hours and 96 hours the opercular and tailfin beats in the control fish were significantly higher (P<0.05) than the exposed fish. The 96 hours LC50 was determined as 5.23 ml/l. Include significance of this study to conclude abstract. Key words: acute toxicity, Jatropha curcas latex extract, Oreochromis niloticus, haematological parameters.

Full text
Abstract:
Observations on the life cycles of aquatic oligochaetes were made in the period 1962–2017 at the Võrtsjärv Limnological Station (Estonia) using small aquaria with sieved profundal mud covered with unaerated water. The aquaria were mostly inseminated with 10 juvenile worms and checked four times a year, changing the mud and eliminating the progeny, until the natural death of the original worms. Besides, mass cultures were kept in bigger aquaria. Many individuals of Tubifex tubifex, T. newaensis, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, L. udekemianus, Ilyodrilus templetoni, Psammoryctides barbatus, Spirosperma ferox, Potamothrix moldaviensis, P. vejdovskyi, P. bavaricus, Stylodrilus heringianus and Rhynchelmis tetratheca survived for several years, reproduced repeatedly, and died out one by one during the observation period. In some cases, the most longevous individuals reached an age of up to 8 years (I. templetoni), 10–12 years (T. tubifex), 15–17 years (L. hoffmeisteri, P. barbatus, S. heringianus), or even more than 20 years (L. udekemianus, S. ferox, T. newaensis). Criodrilus lacuum did not reproduce in aquaria, although the oldest individual spent 46 years there. Potamothrix hammoniensis, Lophochaeta ignota, Lamprodrilus isoporus, most naidines and some others did not thrive in aquaria and usually died without reproducing. In a cellar, where temperature conditions imitated seasonal fluctuations in lakes, or when the aquaria were maintained at continuously low temperature, the lifetime of worms was often longer than at room temperature. At elevated temperatures (+25° to +35°C) T. tubifex and L. hoffmeisteri formed cocoons mostly with only 1–2 eggs while their life span was then shorter. Architomic clones of Potamothrix bedoti, Bothrioneurum vejdovskyanum, Aulodrilus pluriseta and A. japonicus survived and propagated for years. The architomic Lumbriculus variegatus was thriving only when fed, e.g., with yeast. Uniparental reproduction by parthenogenesis was observed in T. tubifex, L. hoffmeisteri and S. heringianus kept or reared single. Two special races(?) were noted both within T. tubifex and L. udekemianus.

Abstract:
The Estonian poet, physician and politician Johannes Vares-Barbarus (1890–1946) is a contradictory figure in Estonian history and culture. He was a well-known and acknowledged doctor named Vares, but also a poet named Barbarus who was notable for his modernistic poems in the 1920s and 1930s. His actions in the 1940s as one of the leading figures in the Sovietization of Estonia have complicated the reception of his poetry. His opposition to the Republic of Estonia and his left-wing views are nearly always under observation when he or his poems are discussed. Predominantly his poetry has been discussed; his other works have received much less attention. This article analyses his travelogue Matkavisandeid & mõtisklusi (Travel Sketches and Contemplations) based on his trip to the Soviet Union. It was published in the literary magazine Looming in 1935 and reprinted in 1950 in his collected works. Travelogues have proven to be valuable materials when discussing the author and his mentality. The article analyses the image of the Soviet Union in his travelogue published in 1935 and discusses notable changes that were made in the reprint some of which have significantly altered the meaning, so that the text fits perfectly into the Soviet canon.

Abstract:
Eugenio Barba's Odin Teatret has recently celebrated its twentieth anniversary, and a full retrospective of the company's work – based since 1966 at Holstebro. in Denmark – will appear in a future issue of NTQ. It is a mark of the insularity of English-speaking theatre, however, thatBarba himself probably remains best known as an early collaborator of Grotowski's, whose ideas he was responsible for assembling into Towards a Poor Theatre. But Barba's own workhas in fact developed in entirely distinctive directions, always substantiated by a framework of theoretical debate – most recently through his involvement in the International School of Theatre Anthropology, whose activities will also be documented in forthcoming issues. Here, Barba discusses the concept of ‘dramaturgy’, and how methods of theatre analysis may best be utilized in discussing theatre works based in performance rather than in written texts.

Full text
Abstract:
Heartworm, Acanthocheilonema spirocauda, was observed in four of six species of seals (19 seals of 701) examined from the Atlantic coast of Canada including the Canadian Arctic. Fourteen of 221 ringed seals (Phoca hispida), 2 of 18 harbour seals (Phoca vitulina), 2 of 186 harp seals (Phoca groenlandica) (new host record), and the only hooded seal examined (Cystophora cristata) were infected with A. spirocauda. Intensity of infection ranged from 1 to 31. Infected seals were age 0 to 14, but 8 of the 14 infected ringed seals were age 0. All worms were found in the right ventricle except in three cases. In one ringed seal and one harp seal, worms were found in the pulmonary artery, and in another ringed seal, worms were found deep within the lungs. No infections were found in grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) (N = 271) or bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) (N = 4). Heartworm is primarily a parasite of young seals. Its apparent absence in grey seals examined to date suggests either that a much larger sample of young seals from a broad geographic area is needed or that grey seals are refractory to infection or do not survive infections.

Abstract:
Ermolao Barbaro (1453/4–93) was a patrician and diplomat from Venice in the later fifteenth century. His short life meant that he enjoyed only a modest diplomatic career. His major contribution to the history of diplomacy is his short treatise, On the Office of the Diplomat (c. 1489–93), which was the first European treatment devoted to the resident ambassador, a then new development in European diplomacy.

Abstract:
This chapter draws attention to a work that stands outside the sphere of Saxony and the Ottonian court: the Vita S. Uodalrici by Gerhard of Augsburg (composed 982×993). This work has come down in twenty-five medieval manuscripts, two of which are preserved in Oxford. Gerhard, the biographer of Ulrich, was a priest of the bishopric of Augsburg and seems to have belonged to the household of Ulrich during the last twenty years of Ulrich’s bishopric. His vocabulary is limited. Gerhard’s Vita S. Uodalrici consists of 23,103 words (not including names and numbers), but only 2,742 different lexical items are found within it. It was criticized for its mass of barbarous names and its realism within ten or fifteen years of its publication.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses dugola (singer-duels) performance in the context of (Syn)aesthetics, which is a unique and sensual approach to the creative process (thinking, producing, receiving). It tries to contextualize the immersive environment in which the music is created, learned, and performed by the performers. Drawing from Eugenio Barba’s claim that performer’s energy is a readily identifiable quality, this chapter studies the principles on which the performers model their muscular and nervous power to intensify their performing capacity. As the intensity between two singer competitors grows, the performance space becomes a magnetic field and creates its affective presence. The performer’s body vibrates with full energy and songs and stories seem to flow in that energy. This chapter will discuss the creative process in which the ‘folk performance’ works in a local cultural context. In caste based Indian society, this (syn)aesthetics offers some unique characteristics of these performers.

Abstract:
This chapter asks how literature portrays classroom scenes during times of trauma and political crisis, and whether literary depictions of historical moments of trauma can, themselves, be pedagogical. It focuses in particular of literary portraits of the Black Decade of the 1990s. a time when students and teachers inside classrooms were targets of violence. The literary classroom depicting this time became a vacant or fractured space, replaced by direct encounters outside the school between teachers and students, writers and readers. Novels depicting the 1990s feature teachers and students meeting in bars and cafés, young girls who read and teach each other at home, and former teachers writing to their students from exile. Along with two central novels, Wahiba Khiari’s Nos silences (Our silences) and Bashir Mefti’s Ghurfat al thikrayat (The room of memories), this chapter discusses Nacira Belloula’s Visa pour la haine (Visa for hatred), Boualem Sansal’s Le serment des barbares (The barbarians’ oath), and Ahlam Mosteghanemi’s Al aswad yaliq bik (Black becomes you). The portraits of education in these works are applicable beyond the context of the Black Decade, as they show how novels bear witness to and reach readers in a hostile political and educational environment.

Abstract:
In this chapter you are introduced to two fictional characters, Paul and Molly, who need help with very different problems and who are intended to represent the wide range of emotional difficulties encountered by people referred to community mental health teams. Paul is a young man of Afro- Caribbean descent who has become isolated and withdrawn over a period of time. Paul’s family are concerned and upset about his deterioration and he has been referred to community mental health services by his family doctor. Molly is a young woman who has been leading quite a stressful life; although successful in material terms, she has been experiencing anxiety and panic. This chapter demonstrates how practising community mental health nurses (CMHNs) might work with Paul and Molly in the process of assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the care planned alongside emerging mental health issues. The first person we meet in this chapter is Paul, a young man who is referred to the community mental health team following concerns raised by his family about his changed behaviour. As well as being concerned for Paul’s welfare, this section also prompts us to consider how we might work alongside his family, in this case, his mother Charmaine and his sister Caroline Paul is 21 years old. He lives with his parents, Joshua and Charmaine, and his 18-year-old sister, Caroline. Both Paul’s parents came to the UK in 1971 from Barbados and they try to go back ‘home’ once a year to stay in touch with their extended family. They have lived in a three-bedroom house in Birmingham for the past 15 years. Joshua is 55 years old, a tool setter at an engineering factory, and Charmaine works part-time as a care assistant at a local nursing home. Caroline is currently doing A-levels and hopes to go to university. Joshua and Charmaine regularly attend at a Christian church, and are very proud of both their children, but would like them to be a little more respectful and attend the church more regularly.

Abstract:
Although some find it unpleasant and others find it flippant, the term ‘starchitect’ is theoretically useful for the sociology of architecture. It connects the world of the architect with the world of celebrity, and it con­nects architecture as an esoteric aesthetic practice with architecture as an industry in the public eye. Over the last few years, the term has become well established in the mass media and in trade publications, and it is also, slowly, starting to be taken seriously by scholars in and around architecture (e.g., McNeill 2009, Ponzini and Nastasi 2011; Knox 2012; Gravari-Barbas and Renard-Delautre 2015). The quest for fame, of course, is not new. Leon Battista Alberti, universal man, prodigious self-promoter of the early renaissance, and still an architectural notable, wrote an allegorical play on fame in the 1440s, recently reprinted (Alberti 1987). Neither Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959) nor Le Corbusier (1887–1965, Corb) shunned public­ity; both were what we would now call celebrities. Their rivalry is well documented, mostly in arguments around different conceptions of modernism—they never met. Noting that Wright called the Villa Savoye, one of Corb’s most celebrated buildings, ‘a box on stilts’, the cultural historian Nicholas Cox Weber, in his life of Corb, comments: ‘Today, it is an icon of twentieth-century design and has spawned countless imitations all over the world’ (2008: 288; see also Etlin 1994). Wright and Corb died around the time capitalist globalization was beginning to establish itself as a truly global system, and their own lives contained significant measures of socially produced iconicity. Although these terms were not used about them during their lifetimes, they can be considered proto-global and proto-iconic architects, by which I mean that the terms ‘global’ and ‘iconic’ are fruitfully employed today about them and their surviving architectural works. So, before considering the starchitects of our time, it is instructive first of all to delve briefly into the careers of these two most iconic architects of the first half of the 20th century. Wright and Corb both enjoy institutional legacies and continue to have plenty of enthusiasts.
