Using Google Apps to Manage Embargo Records
No full textUsing multiple Google apps, the Lucy Scribner Library at Skidmore College creates an automated reminder to manage embargo records of the scholarly works deposited in the college’s institutional repository (IR), Creative Matter. This cloud-based embargo reminder can be applicable to other academic libraries that employ Digital Commons or similar IR platforms without built-in embargo reminder functions

MDOCS Poster-2018-02-05, Voice as Documentary Audibility with Pooja Rangan
Get PDFMonday, February 5, 2018 6:00 PM - 7:45 PM (ET) PALMTN Emerson Auditorium In the field of documentary, voice, rather than point of view, is the prevailing metaphor for a filmmaker’s unique perspective, signaling the documentary genre’s textual emphasis on spoken words, as well as its social ethic of “giving voice.” Rangan’s talk will unpack the humanitarian resonances of this metaphor, as elaborated in her book Immediations: The Humanitarian Impulse in Documentary (Duke UP 2017), reframing voice as an audibility: a product of auditory forms and practices such as documentary that discipline unspoken norms of speaking and listening. Her talk will place documentary depictions of autistic protagonists and call center agents in conversation, asking how documentary’s vocal conventions can accentuate as well as neutralize the complex mediations of ethnicity, ability, and other axes of difference implicated in the production and reception of vocal sounds.About the presenter: Pooja Rangan is Assistant Professor of English in Film and Media Studies at Amherst College. Her book Immediations: The Humanitarian Impulse in Documentary (Duke UP 2017) examines the humanitarian ethic of giving voice to the voiceless in contemporary participatory media interventions. Rangan’s work has been published in Feminist Media Histories, Film Quarterly, Camera Obscura, World Picture, and differences, among other venues. Rangan also serves on the board of the Flaherty Film Seminar, and is co-editor, with Genevieve Yue, of a forthcoming special issue of the journal Discourse on “Documentary Audibilities.” Her current research deals with the documentary politics and aesthetics of accented speech and listening

Differential expression of zinc transporters accompanies the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts
No full textZinc transporters facilitate metal mobilization and compartmentalization, playing a key role in cellular development. Little is known about the mechanisms and pathways of Zn movement between Zn transporters and metalloproteins during myoblast differentiation. We analyzed the differential expression of ZIP and ZnT transporters during C2C12 myoblast differentiation. Zn transporters account for a transient decrease of intracellular Zn upon myogenesis induction followed by a gradual increase of Zn in myotubes. Considering the subcellular localization and function of each of the Zn transporters, our findings indicate that a fine regulation is necessary to maintain correct metal concentrations in the cytosol and subcellular compartments to avoid toxicity, maintain homeostasis, and for loading metalloproteins needed during myogenesis. This study advances our basic understanding of the complex Zn transport network during muscle differentiation

Get PDFApril 4, 12pm
Location:BerhardAtrium
Free and open to the public
On Wednesday, April 4, from 12:00 – 5:00 pm, join Evelyn Wang \u2719, Museum Store Associate, and Sean Fuller, Store and Publications Manager, for a zine making workshop focusing on the history of zines. Participants will learn two zine making methods: a simple one-page zine and a fold and staple pamphlet style. All materials will be provided.
This event is part of a series of drop-in zine making workshops occurring every Wednesday in April from 12:00 – 5:00 pm. The workshops will be held in the exhibition to be with art is all we ask: Radical Print Culture from the Steven Leiber Archive, 1967-1987. Come anytime and stay as long as you like. About Zines
Zines are self-published, do-it-yourself booklets that got their name from magazine or fanzine. Zines began with the science fiction fanzines of the 1940s and culminated in 1970s with the punk movement and the commercial release of Xerox photocopiers. During the 1970s and 1980s, zines played a vital role in the spread of radical ideas. They provided a democratic outlet for marginalized voices that were not afforded space in mainstream print media. In recent years, there has been a resurgence in zine making. Contemporary zine makers focus on many topics including sexuality, politics, music, art, ethnicity, class issues, religion, and feminism

Get PDFExamining the Impact of Chronic Illnesses on Household Poverty Using Social Selection Theory
Get PDFThis study will examine the impact of chronic health conditions on a household’s poverty level and their propensity to become impoverished, following the implementation of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This paper will investigate this relationship using social selection theory proposed by Sir Douglas Black in 1980. Using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, this analysis will use logistic and ordinary least squares regression models to map causal effects between certain types of chronic health conditions and household poverty levels. Empirical evidence shows that there is no statistically significant effect of chronic health conditions on household poverty levels or their likelihood to become impoverished. However, there were numerous limitations in this study that had the potential to impact the findings
