Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Fifteen marine strombidiid species were measured and identified after protargol staining of bottle-cast samples collected during an annual study of the ciliate microzooplankton in the Caribbean Sea. Nine of these are described herein as new species. One new species from the genus Tontonia, T. simplicidens sp. nov., is defined, based on the pattern of the girdle and ventral kinety. Six new species of Strombidium, S. bilobum sp. nov., S. eurystomum sp. nov., S. ioanum sp. nov., S. maedai sp. nov., S. pollostomum sp. nov. and S. sphaericum sp. nov. are defined, based on cell size and shape, the arrangement of the oral ciliature, and the nature of the macronucleus. One new strombidiid genus Cyrtostrombidium gen. nov., is defined by the presence of a unique oral ‘basket’ and the absence of the ventral polykinetidal zone. Two species of Cyrtostrombidium, C. longisomum sp. nov. and C. wailesi sp. nov., are distinguished, based on cell size and macronuclear structure. Assemblages of six previously-described strombidiid species, S. constrictum, S. dalum, S. epidemum, S. inclinatum, S. wulffi, and Laboea strobila are also briefly described.

This study was carried out in selected poultry farms to determine the prevalence, distribution and antimicrobial resistance patterns in Salmonella serovars in Ogun State, South-western Nigeria. A total of 200 faecal samples were aseptically collected from the four geographical zones of Ogun State, Nigeria. Seventy-eight Salmonella isolates spread across 39 serovars and representing a prevalence of 39% was recovered. Salmonella Urbana (n=7), Salmonella Kingston (n=6) and Salmonella Agama (n=5) serovars were more commonly isolated. Resistance was most common to ciprofloxacin (29.5%; n=23/78). Multi-drug resistance (MDR) was observed in 15.4% (n=12/78) of the isolates spread across 7 serovars: S. Kentucky, S. Telelkebir, S. Virchow, S. Blockley, S. Chomedey, S. Haifa, and S. Isangi. The study showed the diversity of Salmonella serovars and the increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance in poultry farms in Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria.

This series of poems operates somewhere between the Bronx, Half Way Tree (Kingston), and memory. Indian indentureship in Jamaica is epistemologically eclipsed; queer death is unmemorialized; an opening of sugar packets evokes the violence of empire. These poems reckon with loss—whether through grammar, digitization, or death. Yet there remains an abiding desire to explode the beauty of (extra)ordinary moments and scenes. Diasporic and hyperlocal, these poems entangle language(s), archives, and memory to map constellations of identities formed and complicated by colonization.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Trickster novels, especially those by Gerald Vizenor and Maxine Hong Kingston, can be used to destabilize and undermine ethnic stereotypes. As many studies show, the trickster him/herself cannot be stable and thus resists the limitations of definition as the embodiment of ambiguity. Both insider and outsider, s/he plays with the whole concept of “sides” so as to erase the distinction between them. The trickster plays the game, including the game of language, in order to break and exploit its rules and thus destabilizes linguistic markers. Kingston and Vizenor use their novels to subvert the rules of the linguistic game and free perception from stereotypic rigidity. Perceptions of race and ethnicity are frequently codified in the form of stereotypes with which we are all familiar. Once established, they, of course, prove remarkably difficult to dismantle however false or misleading they might be with regard to the race or ethnicity in question; and thus they continue to exacerbate the social tensions with which we are equally familiar. Ethnic American literature has frequently addressed this issue; in this essay I intend to look at one narrative strategy which is specifically designed to question, challenge, exploit, and even manipulate perception.

The purpose of this note is to record the availability for research of highly fossiliferous sediment from a late Pleistocene terrestrial deposit in the Caribbean. The Red Hills Road cave in the parish of St. Andrew, northwest of Kingston, Jamaica (for more precise locality information, see Donovan et al., 1995, p. 12-15) is a late Pleistocene, essentially unstratified, cave deposit. The terrestrial fauna from this site includes diverse vertebrates (Savage, 1990; D.A. McFarlane and R.D.E. MacPhee, research in progress) and gastropods, associated with rare arthropods including millipedes (Donovan and Veltkamp, 1994), isopods, ostracodes and claws of non-marine crustaceans (J. S. H. Collins, research in progress).

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
AbstractElectron impact excitation rates recently calculated by Keenan, McCann and Kingston for transitions in the He-like ions Al XII, Si XIII and S XV are used to derive the electron temperature sensitive emission line ratio G and the density sensitive ratio R in its low density limit (Ro). These ratios are compared with those calculated by other authors and with the values obtained for solar flares using instruments on board the P78-1 and Solar Maximum Mission satellites. In general it is found that our results resolve discrepancies which currently exist between observation and theory, which provides experimental support for the methods and atonic data adopted in the present analysis.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Objective To determine the association of preeclampsia (PE) with the presence of cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors at approximately 11 years postpartum and to assess the longer term effect of PE on childhood development. Study Design A mail-out survey was sent to all women who were previously recruited into the Kingston arm of the Pre-Eclampsia New Emerging Team's prospective cohort (n = 112 PE and n = 150 control). Physical and biochemical CVR markers were compared between the two groups. Physical, social, and cognitive development of the children involved in the pregnancies was evaluated using the Vineland-3 Domain-Level Parent/Caregiver Form. Results Thirteen PE women and 28 control women returned the study questionnaire. Based on the 2017 American Heart Association High Blood Pressure Clinical Practice Guidelines, 9/13 (69.2%) of the PE women, compared with 6/28 (21.4%) of the control women, have hypertension (p < 0.01). The median percentile rank for overall adaptive functioning was 58 (interquartile range [IQR: 21–73]) in the PE children and 81 (IQR: 61–94) in the control children (p < 0.05). Conclusion The development of PE leads to longer term changes in CVR markers and in childhood development at approximately 11 years postpartum. Pregnancy and the postpartum provide an early window of opportunity for early maternal and child screening and intervention for health preservation and disease prevention.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The Calbuco volcano in southern Chile (41.3° S, 72.6° W) underwent three separate eruptions on 22–23 April 2015. Following the eruptions, distinct layers of enhanced lidar backscatter at 532 nm were observed in the lower stratosphere above Buckland Park, South Australia (34.6° S, 138.5° E), and Kingston, Tasmania (43.0° S, 147.3° E), during a small set of observations in April–May 2015. Using atmospheric trajectory modelling and measurements from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) space-borne lidar and the Ozone Mapping Profiler Suite (OMPS) instrument on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite, we show that these layers were associated with the Calbuco eruptions. Buckland Park measurements on 30 April and 3 May detected discrete aerosol layers at and slightly above the tropopause, where the relative humidity was well below saturation. Stratospheric aerosol layers likely associated with the eruptions were observed at Kingston on 17 and 22 May in narrow discrete layers accompanied by weaker and more vertically extended backscatter. The measurements on 22 May provided a mean value of the particle linear depolarisation ratio within the main observed volcanic aerosol layer of 18.0 ± 3.0%, which was consistent with contemporaneous CALIOP measurements. The depolarisation measurements indicated that this layer consisted of a filament dominated by ash backscatter residing above a main region having likely more sulfate backscatter. Layer-average optical depths were estimated from the measurements. The mean lidar ratio for the volcanic aerosols on 22 May of 86 ± 37 sr is consistent with but generally higher than the mean for ground-based measurements for other volcanic events. The inferred optical depth for the main volcanic layer on 17 May was consistent with a value obtained from OMPS measurements, but a large difference on 22 May likely reflected the spatial inhomogeneity of the volcanic plume. Short-lived enhancements of backscatter near the tropopause of 17 May likely represented the formation cirrus that was aided by the presence of associated volcanic aerosols. We also provide evidence that gravity waves potentially influenced the layers, particularly in regard to the vertical motion observed in the strong layer on 22 May. Overall, these observations provide additional information on the dispersal and characteristics of the Calbuco aerosol plumes at higher southern latitudes than previously reported for ground-based lidar measurements.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Background While anti-β2 glycoprotein 1 (anti-β2GP1) antibody positivity is included in the diagnostic criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), the association between anti-β2GP1 and the obstetrical complications of APS has been inconsistently reported and remains unclear. Objective We completed a case–control study nested within the Canadian Ottawa and Kingston (OaK) Birth Cohort to evaluate the association between anti-β2GP1 antibody positivity and placenta-mediated pregnancy complications. Study Design Five hundred cases were randomly selected among pregnant women who experienced any of the following independently adjudicated placenta-mediated pregnancy complications: preeclampsia, placental abruption, late pregnancy loss (≥ 12 weeks' gestation), and birth of a small-for-gestational age (SGA) infant < 10th percentile. Five hundred pregnant women without any placenta-mediated pregnancy complications were selected as controls. Stored blood samples were analyzed for the presence of anti-β2GP1 antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Anti-β2GP1 immunoglobulin G (IgG) and/or immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in titers ≥ 20 G/M units (> 99th percentile) were present in 24 of 497 (4.8%) of controls and 33 of 503 (6.6%) of cases. There was no significant difference between cases and controls for the composite outcome of any placenta-mediated pregnancy complications (odds ratio, 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.8–2.37, p = 0.25). Conclusion Our results call into question the association between anti-β2GP1 antibodies and placenta-mediated pregnancy complications, with further research needed.

Abstract Maxine Hong Kingston and Toni Morrison are two prominent contemporary American ethnic female writers. Unlike the mainstream writers who follow the conventional white ideological framework, they compose their works, The Woman Warrior and Beloved from the perspective of racial minorities. The two texts aim to make public the injustice and enslavement Chinese and Africans have suffered in the U.S. and to subvert the distorted negative stereotypes of Chinese and Africans which have been constructed by the white Europeans. My juxtaposed reading focuses on Kingston''s and Morrison''s efforts to deconstruct the white ideologies first and then to reconstruct the subaltern identities. This thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter One provides a theoretical framework for the thesis, where I refer to Stuart Hall''s rationale on "new ethnicities," Homi K. Bhabha''s assertion on "cultural hybridity," and M. M. Bakhtin''s theory on "heteroglossia" to support my arguments. By breaking the white unitarianism that Chinese and Africans are essentially inferior, Kingston and Morrison try to equate their racial peoples with Americans, creating an interaction between the indigenous and mainstream cultures, making their voices echo with each other. Chapter Two explores the racial appropriation of Chinese Americans and African Americans. The two races are denigrated under the colonial dominance. In order to totally deprive the racial minorities of their voices and powers, the whites make them (Chinese Americans) assimilated by way of Gramsci''s "cultural hegemony" or make them (Afro-Americans) unlearned, ignorant of their own culture and history. Chapter Three centers on the physical and psychological assault on Chinese American women and African American women. Genderized and racialized, women of racial minorities suffer from patriarchal misogyny and imperial hegemony. However, since the two texts aim to subvert the patriarchal and racial stereotypes, Kingston and Morrison create a "power reversion" between their male and female characters by offering the females more strength and resourcefulness. Moreover, the exploitation on Chinese and African American women also influences their mother/daughter relationship, which is another concern in this chapter. Chapter Four records the processes for the racial minorities to evolve from silence to eloquence. Kingston takes writing as a "sword" welded by words and fights for an autonomous selfhood of herself and the other Chinese American women. Morrison''s revisionary text leads the characters to "re-member" their traumatic and erased past. Through rememory, the aboriginal history can be retrieved and their new cultural identities can be reconstructed. Chapter Five recapitulates the main ideas of this thesis and reaffirms Kingston''s and Morrison''s determination and contributions to representing the identities of their racial groups and offering them self-affirmation and national consciousness.

This study employs David Leiwei Li''s critical paradigm on Chinese American literature as a theoretical basis, and Frank Chin''s criticism as the contesting ground to re-examine both Maxine Hong Kingston''s and Gish Jen''s contributions in subverting American Orientalist discourse. While American Orientalist discourse as constructed by the hegemonic power dominates the American culture, Chinese American literature appears as a combating discourse. In the contemporary Chinese American discourse, Frank Chin draws on the Chinese heroism to subvert the effeminated image of Chinese men. Kingston also retrieves the ethnic source as inspiration in writing, yet revises the Chinese texts to interrogate the stereotypes in the authoritative American Orientalist discourse. Kingston recreates the Chinese American tradition by reproducing the emasculated image similar to that in the American Orientalist discourse. She, nonetheless, aims to deconstruct the false image instead of reinforcing it. In China Men, Maxine Hong Kingston speaks out for her forefathers and "claims America" by interrogating the American Orientalist discourse in the form of myth-revision. Through adopting both Chinese and western literary materials, and adapting them, Kingston deconstructs both Chinese authoritative texts and the American Orientalist discourse. Kingston''s China Men emphasizes the century-old presence of manual Chinese American labor in the United Sates. It delineates a Chinese American history and argues for subsequent generations'' rightful place in America, despite the fact that the Chinese are perpetually labeled as "foreigners." As Typical American shares the same aim in testifying Chinese American''s rightful place in American history, Jen exposes the racial bias of American cultural scripts and focuses on how the middle-class Changs transform themselves into "typical Americans." Through representing Chinese men, both Kingston and Gish Jen challenge American Orientalist misrepresentation of Chinese men. Though the similarities between these two writers do exist, the differences feature Gish Jen and Kingston in numbers of ways. Gish Jen endeavors to portray more economically privileged and better-educated Chinese Americans rather than the old-generation immigrants on sugar plantations and in building railroads. Also, without tracing back to the Chinese texts, Gish Jen adopts American literature and mocks the American myth with her satirical narrative. Gish Jen features her novel with a parody of the American myth. Using satire as the narrative strategy, Gish Jen poses her critique on racial discrimination. Through parodying the American myth, Gish Jen discloses that American society fails to recognize the Changs as Americans because of their skin color. Both Gish Jen and Maxine Hong Kingston reiterate what is typical/stereotypical so as to reject it and finally forge a national identity for Chinese Americans.

Maxine Hong Kingston''s The Woman Warrior is an unessentializing text that questions binary oppositions most ingrained in our reasoning. The space it opens up is one straddling over several boundaries; though those boundaries are not clear-cut, there is no mistaking the crossing act. This thesis tries to preserve that subtle, elusive and ever-changing quality inscribed in the text to avoid essentialization. The study of the ambiguous text reveals language to be related to the always- in-the-process subjectivity constructed in the book. Revival of ambiguity releases the free play of language and is thus preliminary to exposing the hierarchy that power and desire have arbitrarily imposed on meanings. The attempt to tropologize the five narratives of the book brings us to a better understanding of the (lack of) organization of the book. Since tropes describe not only the relation between words and things, but also how we relate ourselves to the world, this attempt shows us how the narrator comes to terms with the confusing world around her. The Woman Warrior has been warmly welcomed into the feminist canon; a close look at this enthusiasm shows such reception to be both self-defeating and self-delimiting. The text challenges the male/female hierarchy, but it goes beyond reversing that hierarchy or slavishing equalizing the unequal. And that space beyond is constructed not only by gender, but also by class, ethnicity, generation, and many others. With a critical and creative way of looking at difference, we can negotieate the above differences without erasing them. And altogether, they make both a community of Chinese Americans and an individual Chinese American woman. To tackle all these differences at the same time is a challenge the narrator faces and an approach the book demands of its readers.

This thesis amis to analyze how Maxine Hong Kingston, as a minority woman writer, uses umlti-versions of text to speak for the silenced Other--Chinese male immigrants--in her award- winning book China Men. Her writing reclaims Chinese American subjectivity as well as deconstructs/rereads old Chinese and Western texts. As a matter of fact, she revises American history and literature. As immigrants of color, Chinese Americans have been regarded as non-white Other by the mainstream society. They are depriveof voice in canonical American literature and history. Moreover, stereotyped by the discourse of American popular culture, they are portrayed as either the insidious Fu Manchu or the docile Charlie Chan. Reflecting upon the stereotyped images, Kingston attempts to reconstruct their identity. As the book's Chinese title, Gold Mountain Heroes [Jin-shan Yong-shi, 金山勇士] suggests, she intends to identify Chinese men as abrave Gold Mountain heroes and to make them the subjects of her narrative. Indeed, inChina Men, which she designates as the father-book, she empowers the Gold Mountain heroes with a justifiable identity to succeed Abraham Lincoln as American founding fathers. To present the true stories of the Gold Mountain founding father. To present the true stories of the Gold Mountain heroes, Kingston invents the new literary structures of multi-versions of text. She adapts mother's talk-stories to represent the Chinese immigrants' life experience. Besides, she appropriates Chinese and Western literary classics, news reports, personal diaries, and articles of law to supplement their stories. The multi- versions of text form intertextual references and dialectic relationships between texts, within texts, and beyond texts. Through writing, Kingston, in effect, revises the structure and contents of the white-male-centered American history and literature. She also successfully makes the history of Chinese immigrants a part of American history.

Maxine Hong Kingston interrogates and re-inscribes ethnicity with the collaboration of parodic postmodern representation and re-imagines a pan-ethnic community in Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book. The thesis begins with a historical reappraisal of the sixties in the United States, related to the awakening of the ethnic groups that subvert the dominant discourses by demystifying hegemonically defined relations to majority society and culture. Another major concern of the introduction chapter is how the discursive construction of representation plays an important role in the formation of ethnicity. Chapter Two lays a theoretical groundwork for the subsequent chapters, including Stuart Hall’s notion of “new ethnicities,” Patricia Durso’s act of performing identity, and Linda Hutcheon’s concept of parodic postmodern representation—all of these have been employed to examine the text. Chapter Three applies Hall’s and Durso’s ideas to propose that authority-interrogating re-inscriptions offer the always-in-the-process ethnicity to break down any possibility of stable binary opposition. In Chapter Four, Hutcheon’s view is appropriated to show a dialogical relationship among texts that Kingston reveals her artistic imagination and ambition of proclaiming the collaborative and changing nature of American art as well as de-naturalizing the essentialist notion of an American. To conclude, by using Wittman Ah Sing to perform his life scripts, parody films and literatures, and stage an epic theater, Kingston not only establishes a new prototype that embraces diversities but also advocates anti-war and peace loving messages.

Abstract Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan, two of the most successful contemporary Chinese American female writers, are engaged in providing voices from a minority female’s view point in America. In Kingston’s work The Woman Warrior and Tan’s The Joy Luck Club and The Bonesetter’s Daughter, the depression felt by females in a patriarchal society in China before WWII, the prejudice towards immigrant females in America, the conflict between American and Chinese cultures and two generations, and the difficulty in searching for a sense of self and identity are the main themes in their writings. In this thesis, I aim to examine how the Chinese culture creates conflict in the multiple cultures in America, especially where a gap and misunderstanding occurs between mothers and daughters. My thesis includes five chapters. Chapter One will briefly introduce the similarity of the two writers. Chapter Two will observe through Althusser’s theory how the patriarchal discourse in China depresses females by operation of State Apparatuses (SAs) and Ideological State Apparatuses (ISAs) and use Foucault’s theory to examine how the females subvert this power. Chapter Three will focus on the racism, sexism and cultural prejudice that the mothers and the daughters have to confront in the new land and explore why the cultural differences cause the severe conflicts between the immigrant mothers and their daughters. Chapter Four will focus on the purpose of employing story-telling and polyphony in the texts. Bakhtin’s theory on Dialogism and the function of language will be discussed to examine the exchanging of protagonists’ ideology and reconstruction of selfhood. The study will be devoted to the connection between the self, culture and language, to examine how the self forms itself in the influence of culture and reconstructs by employing language and an exchange of ideologies.
