Full textAbstract:
Fairy tales have a long history of providing educational morals for young women, particularly children. The lessons from older fairy tales have long influenced the metanarratives regarding how women should act in our culture and contemporary versions are no different. Contemporary adaptations of these fairy tales, however, have moved the genre beyond restrictive metanarratives and are now offering new solutions to 21st-century problems like authoritarian rulers. In Marissa Meyers’ Lunar Chronicle series (2012–2015), the characters interact and work together to overcome the villain. This collaborative fairy tale is a new type of fairy tale adaptation in which the characters work together instead of focusing on their individual happily-ever-afters. My article uses postmodern and feminist literary theories along with close-reading literary analysis to examine how this young adult series shows how young adult literature has become political and is able to address adult problems in ways that are easier to process for younger readers. I focus on how the series uses the character of Levana to examine how authoritarian rulers maintain control over the populace, in order to show how the characters then work together to overthrow Levana to free the people from her oppression. This series uses collaboration to show the reader how to resolve possible problems within their own lives. Working in community then becomes as a solution for young adults who may feel disenfranchised or lonely in our increasingly divisive world. Cooperation also becomes a transgressive move against the tendency to become segregated from those around us.

Abstract A regional-specific algorithmic stand density management diagram was developed for managed upland black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) stands applicable to Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario. Specifically, the IBM-compatible PC-based algorithm (1) graphically illustrates site-specific size-density trajectories for 8 user-specified initial density regimes, (2) calculates and subsequently tabulates periodic yield estimates from 5-50 yr by 5 yr intervals for mean dominant height, density, mean volume, total volume, total merchantable volume, quadratic mean diameter, and basal area, (3) given (2), graphically illustrates empirically derived yield production curves for total merchantable volume per hectare and number of stems per cubic meter with user-specified operability criteria superimposed, and (4) given (3), calculates and subsequently tabulates the minimum time required to attain operability status. The utility of the algorithm is demonstrated within the context of determining site-specific initial densities required to attain user-specified operability criteria. Procedures for acquiring the executable version via the Internet are also included. North. J. Appl. For. 15(2):94-97.

Background:Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most severe manifestations of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.Objectives:1) To compare proliferative (PLN), membranous (MLN) and mixed LN regarding clinical and laboratory presentation. 2) To investigate predictors of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods:Multicentre observational study, with retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort, using data from the Portuguese registry of rheumatic diseases – Reuma.pt. Patients with biopsy-proven PLN, MLN and mixed LN were included. Groups were compared using Pearson’s Chi-Square for categorical variables and One-Way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis for numerical variables. COX regression analysis was used to investigate predictors of CKD (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] lower than 60 mL/min/1.73m2for at least 3 months) and Kaplan-Meier curves were drawn.Results:236 patients were included. Median follow-up was 8 years (IQR 11; maximum 35 years). As seen in table 1, the level of proteinuria did not differ between groups; however, MLN patients presented with significantly lower serum creatinine. Levels of complement C3 and C4 were reduced in PLN but normal in MLN patients, and there were fewer patients with positive anti-dsDNA antibodies in the MLN group (p<0.001). On univariable COX regression, mixed histology was associated with progression to CKD (HR 26 [95% CI 3 - 255], p 0.005) (figure 1), however, it lost significance after adjusting for eGFR. In fact, eGFR≤75 at one year after the renal biopsy (HR 21 [95% CI 7 - 65], p<0.001) was the strongest predictor of CKD, even after adjusting for hypertension or histology.Table 1.Comparative description of the Reuma.pt cohort of patients with proliferative, membranous and mixed LNPLNMLNMixedPTotal, N186428Females, N (%)157 (85)39 (95)4 (50)0.004EthnicityWhite European, N (%)163 (90)31 (78)7 (88)0.115Other, N (%)19 (10)9 (23)1 (13)Age LN diagnosis(y), median (IQR)30 (20)34 (16)42 (25)0.409SLEDAI at LN diagnosis, median (IQR)16 (9)10 (10)21 (17)0.006*uPCR at LN diagnosis, median (IQR)1675 (2598)1698 (2153)2160 (3320)0.629Creatinine at LN diagnosis, median (IQR)0.80 (0.32)0.70 (0.20)1.00 (0.95)0.006*eGFR at LN diagnosis, mean ± SD98 ± 33112 ± 1782 ± 450.019*Albumin at LN diagnosis, mean ± SD34 ± 734 ± 730 ± 60.390C3 at LN diagnosis, mean ± SD0.65 ± 0.260.90 ± 0.350.53 ± 0.30<0.001*Positive anti-dsDNA LN diagnosis, N (%)115 (91)11 (48)6 (86)<0.001*Use of antimalarials, N (%)166 (94)36 (92)8 (100)0.688Use of immunosuppressants, N (%)163 (94)33 (87)8 (100)0.245Use of corticosteroids, N (%)145 (84)33 (85)7 (100)0.511CKD after LN diagnosis, N (%)27 (15)1 (3)3 (38)0.018*ESRD, N (%)7 (4)1 (3)2 (25)0.016Deaths, N (%)14 (8)2 (5)00.610uPCR: urinary protein-creatinine ratio, mg/g; y: years; Creatinine presented in mg/dL, eGFR in mL/min/1.73m2,albumin in g/L and C3 in g/LNote: Baseline data (LN diagnosis) in grey; other data refer to the course of disease*Significant difference between the proliferative and membranous groupsFigure 1.Kaplan-Meir curves showing cumulative survival free of CKD in patients with PLN, MLN and mixed LNConclusion:Our results support previous findings from single-centre studies suggesting that MLN has a different serological profile than PLN, possibly reflecting different pathogenesis.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines power structures and oppression in the first two novels of the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. Postcolonial theory and concepts as the Other/the other, and mimicry supplemented with an intersectional perspective are applied in the study. The study investigates how the protagonist, Cinder, is treated as a cyborg in a human world, and as a Lunar on Earth. Furthermore, it focuses on what happens when the oppressed becomes the oppressor and gains power. I conclude that the humans in Meyer’s sequel treat cyborgs in a similar way as the colonizer has treated the colonized through history. Cyborgs are suppressed due to fear from humans who neither understand cyborgs, nor have any interest to learn about them. The humans have a preconceived idea about what and who the cyborgs are and in correlation to the colonizer, the humans see no point in changing that view. Therefore, humans take the role as the Other while pushing cyborgs to become the other. In a similar way, Lunars become the Other due to their Lunar gift, which creates a power imbalance that they use to suppress people on Earth. When Cinder accesses her Lunar gift, she transforms from being the oppressed into the oppressor, and she must face the consequences of possessing such power which results in someone’s death. She realizes then that she would rather be the oppressed and be hurt herself than to be the oppressor and hurt others.

Geyer, Benjamin M. "Meter, Phrase, and Form in the Compositions of Maria Schneider." UKnowledge, 2016. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/music_etds/56.
Full textAbstract:
The central claims of this study are that Maria Schneider relies on normative rhythmic structures from the jazz tradition, and that her expressive deviations from those norms are comprehensible to experienced listeners in real time. The study proposes a non-recursive model of hypermeter wherein the measure is formed through entrainment, the four-bar sub-unit is formed through recognizable qualia at the measure level, and the eight-bar level is formed through the expectation for sub-units to group into pairs. I introduce the “structural phrase” as a unit that, while normatively hypermetrical, is distinct from the issue of hypermeter in its formal aspects and its ability to diverge from hypermetrical organization. Structural phrases mediate our sense of place in the music, and they most often begin with an audibly clear attentional peak that I call the “structural phrase onset.”
I posit that experienced listeners understand how structural phrases operate in Schneider’s compositional style through awareness of the relative frequency of each structural phrase type. Based on data gathered from a corpus of twenty-four pieces, comprised of 1,105 structural phrases, I find that 61% of Schneider’s structural phrases are normative. Further, the influence of the normative structural phrase supersedes its literal appearance on the surface of an acoustic signal, serving as the conceptual background for nine dialogic deviations: 31% of structural phrases are deviational yet operate in direct dialogue with the norm. Only three deviation types, accounting for 8% of structural phrases, are entirely independent of the normative organization.
Structural phrases function as shallow-level formal units that group into deeper levels. This study categorizes Schneider’s formal approach as a hybrid between two practices: (1) traditional big band arranging, in its emphasis on improvised solos and idiosyncratic features such as the “ensemble feature” section; and (2) sonata form, in its motivic-thematic emphasis, freely unfolding sectional organization, and broadly three-part design. I refer to the three parts at the deepest structural level as “three-Spaces,” including Exposition, Solo, and Recapitulation Spaces. These Spaces are comprised of seven types of sections at a lower structural level: introduction, expositional, transition, soloistic, ensemble feature, recapitulative, and coda sections. Three “formal division criteria” specify how these sections audibly signal divisions between the deeper-level Spaces. An in-depth analysis of Hang Gliding explores how rhythm at multiple structural levels interacts with other parameters such as pitch, orchestration, and dynamics, to shape a composition’s dramatic arc.

Full textAbstract:
Il Golfo di Taranto è una baia storica all’interno del Mar Ionio Settentrionale, Mar Mediterraneo Orientale. Sebbene il Mar Mediterraneo rappresenti meno dell’1% della superficie oceanica, presenta un alto livello di diversità biologica e si inserisce tra i primi 25 Biodiversity Hot Spot a livello globale. Esso purtroppo è anche uno dei bacini più antropizzati del mondo; tali pressioni mettono a serio rischio la conservazione di numerose specie, tra cui i Cetacei. Attualmente non sono presenti lavori riportanti dati di abbondanza dei Cetacei nel Golfo di Taranto: la mia ricerca vuole contribuire a colmare questo vuoto conoscitivo ed aggiungere nuove conoscenze sull’abbondanza dei Cetacei nel Mar Mediterraneo. Le aree di studio prese in esame si trovano nel Golfo di Taranto, sono contigue ed hanno la stessa superficie. Utilizzando il metodo del transetto lineare ed il software Distance 6.0 è stato possibile, raccogliere i dati di abbondanza dei delfinidi Stenella coeruleoalba e Truncatus truncatus ed analizzarli, ottenendo delle stime di abbondanza da confrontare con la serie storica disponibile (2009-2014). L’utilizzo del metodo del Distance Sampling, applicato per la prima volta nel Golfo di Taranto, è stato fondamentale perché ha permesso di colmare una lacuna conoscitiva sulla consistenza numerica associata alla nota presenza dei Cetacei nel Mar Ionio Settentrionale. I risultati ottenuti hanno reso possibile il confronto delle stime di abbondanza ottenute nel Golfo di Taranto con quelle del bacino ligure-corso-provenzale del Mediterraneo (Santuario Pelagos). Infatti è stato possibile rilevare che S. coeruleoalba presenta abbondanze generalmente inferiori ed un trend in diminuzione nel Santuario Pelagos, in netto contrasto con le maggiori abbondanze ed il trend in incremento evidenziato nel Golfo di Taranto e sintetizzato in questa tesi.
Si evince, quindi la massima urgenza nell’implementare lo studio nel Golfo di Taranto, laddove la presenza di differenti specie di Cetacei e le stime di abbondanza di S. coeruleoalba e T. truncatus evidenziano la necessità di interventi di gestione finalizzati alla conservazione del patrimonio di diversità biologica del Mediterraneo.

Full textAbstract:
Bien que le Courant des Malouines (CM) soit le principal soutien de la productivité élevée qui caractérise l’Atlantique Sud-Ouest il reste encore peu documenté. Cette thèse combine des données in situ et satellitaires et des sorties de modèles opérationnels, pour étudier le CM. Le CM est une émanation du courant Antarctique Circumpolaire (ACC). Il s’écoule vers le nord jusqu’à 38°S puis il retourne vers le sud formant le Courant de Retour des Malouines (CRM). Nous montrons que l’énergie turbulente de l’ACC est filtrée sur le plateau des Malouines (55°S-48°S). Nous avons découvert l'occurrence d’évènements de blocage à 48S qui coupent le CM de sa source l’ACC. Le CM devient alors le bord ouest d’une grande cellule de recirculation cyclonique. Nous avons montré que les positions des fronts du système du CM (Front Polaire, Front Subantarctique et Front du Brésil) peuvent être suivies en définissant des critères sur la densité potentielle et la hauteur de l’eau. Des eaux du sud du front polaire (FP) sont injectées dans le CM (évènements d'alimentation) et recirculent entre le CM et le CRM. Les caractéristiques des eaux de la recirculation varient dans le temps en fonction des évènements d’alimentation et de blocage. Une série temporelle de 24 ans du transport du CM à 41°S a été construite à partir de données de mouillages et d’altimétrie satellitale. Les maxima et minima du transport sont liés à des perturbations de la circulation en provenance du Bassin Argentin (et non de l’ACC): les maxima sont dus à des tourbillons détachés du FP et les minima à des anomalies anticycloniques provenant du courant de BrésilAlthough the Malvinas Current (MC) plays a key role over the Patagonian shelf in sustaining an extremely rich ecosystem it remains rather undocumented. In this thesis, we combined in situ, satellite data, and operational model outputs to study the MC. The MC is an offshoot of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). It flows northward up to 38°S where it turns southward forming the Malvinas Return Flow (MRF). We show that a substantial portion of the mesoscale activity from the ACC is dissipated over the Malvinas Plateau. We discovered the occurrence of recurrent blocking events cutting the MC from its source, the ACC. However, the MC does not collapse as a recirculation cell is established. Criteria in potential density and dynamic topography were defined to study the MC system fronts (Polar Front, Subantarctic Front and Brazil Current Front). Waters from the South of the Polar Front (PF) are recurrently injected into the MC as pulses or feeding events. Polar waters accumulate in the recirculation region between the MC and the MRF. Variations in the water characteristics of the recirculation region are consistent with changes in the occurrence of blocking and feeding events. Combining mooring and satellite altimetric data, a 24-year long time series of the MC transport at 41 ° S was constructed. Maxima and minima of the Malvinas current transport at 41 ° S are not associated with the ACC, rather with eddies coming from the Argentine Basin. Transport maxima appear to be related with cyclonic eddied detached from the Polar Front and transport minima with large anticyclonic anomalies from the Brazil Current

The intensively discussed term transformation refers to the comprehensive restructuring of processes and behaviour in order to address societal challenges posed by far-reaching changes in energy, transport, production and agricultural systems. Since such complex transformations are always accompanied by uncertainties about their effects and consequences, the contributions in this volume critically examine the opportunities and risks involved in these processes and discuss the possibilities and limits of technology assessment in the context of societal transformations. The volume brings together the academic contributions to the 8th international conference of the Technology Assessment Network, which took place in Karlsruhe from 7th to 8th November 2018.

Angela Insenga investigates how Marissa Meyer retells the story of Cinderella as a victim of the ideological battle between transhumanists (pushing technological advancement) and bio-conservatives (expressing posthumanist anxiety). Always and still a story of embodiment, Cinderella here is a cyborg who confronts multiple subjectivities as she learns more of her history and contemplates her future. Cinder learns to appreciate her “loosely coupled entities” of human, mechanic, young woman, cyborg, Prince Kai’s love interest, Lunar princess, revolutionary, and savior of humankind against the Letumosis pandemic—thus breaking down anthropocentric binaries that separate human and nonhuman, organic and inorganic. Cinder, as cyborg, is the new human, the posthuman.

Full textAbstract:
The costs for an offshore wind farm, especially with bottom fixed foundations increase significantly with increasing water depth. If costs can be reduced to a competitive level, the potential for wind farms in deep water is huge. One way of reducing costs might be to combine offshore wind with wave energy facilities at sites where these resources are concentrated. In order to design combined renewable energy concepts, it is important to choose sites where both wind and wave energy resources are substantial. Such facilities might be designed in ultimate limit states based on load effects corresponding to 50-year wind and wave conditions. This requires a long-term joint probabilistic model for the wind and wave parameters at potential sites. In this paper, five European offshore sites are selected for analysis and comparison of combined renewable energy concepts developed in the EU FP7 project – MARINA Platform. The five sites cover both shallow water (<100m) and deep water (> 200m), with three sites facing the Atlantic Ocean and the other two sites in the North Sea. The selection of the sites is carried out by considering average wind and wave energy resources, as well as extreme environmental conditions which indicate the cost of the system. Long-term joint distributions of mean wind speed at 10-meter height (Uw), significant wave height (Hs) and spectral peak period (Tp) are presented for selected sites. Simultaneous hourly wind and wave hindcast data from 2001–2010 are used as a database, which are obtained from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. The joint distributions are estimated by fitting analytical distributions to the hindcast data following a procedure suggested by Johannessen et al. (2001). The long-term joint distributions can be used to estimate the wind and wave power output from each combined concept, and to estimate the fatigue lifetime of the structure. For estimation of the wind and wave power separately, the marginal distributions of wind and wave are also provided. Based on the joint distributions, contour surfaces are established for combined wind and wave parameters for which the probability of exceedance corresponds to a return period of 50 years. The design points on the 50-year contour surfaces are suggested for extreme response analysis of combined concepts. The analytical long-term distributions established could also be applied for design analysis of other offshore structures with similar environmental considerations of these sites.
