We are our Brains: Disembodied Brain Films in 1950s Cold War America
Get PDFPersonified Body Parts in Cinema, Literature, and Visual Culture investigates the power of personifying body parts in cinema, television, visual culture, literature, erotica, folklore, and mystique.
Culturally, socially, and poetically exposing hidden aspects and subtleties of human existentialism, this book vigorously questions and problematizes numerous artistic, aesthetic, technological, naïve, and macabre manipulations of body parts for various purposes. A diverse team of authors explore how scribing human traits to limbs, eyes, brains, genitalia, hearts, and other inner organs is grotesque and aesthetic, repealing and appealing, intimidating and intimate, rude and enjoyable, material and spiritual, surprising and mundane. Personified organs are interrelated with bodily integrity, visceral aesthetics, distorted nature, social anxiety and acceptability, cultural classifications and hierarchies, and dissident innovativeness andradicalism.
This interdisciplinary volume involves body studies; cinema, television, and media studies; literature studies; cultural, intercultural, and countercultural studies; mythology and folklore studies; gender, sexuality, trans and queer studies; ethnicities and postcolonialism; and art history.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/facbooks/1716/thumbnail.jp

AN ASSESSMENT OF VULNERABILITIES OF FLEET VEHICLES AND METHODS TO PREVENT THREATS IN THE AIR NATIONAL GUARD
No full textThe purpose of this study determines the vulnerabilities, threats, and potential mitigation strategies for the cybersecurity of modern vehicles in use by the Air National Guard. In order to better determine a course of action to provide these mitigations, research is conducted to determine the best practices that Airmen can employ to bolster and ensure their security and safety while in transit in these vehicles. These vehicles are identical to those found in civilian markets that are used for fleet vehicle purposes and share the same on-board communications systems to transmit data to and from the vehicle for the purposes of data collection and driver assistance. Data was collected to realize the number of vehicles that have been affected by security threats, and it was found that while security standards and counter measures do exist, more work needs to be performed by agencies to counter threats to vehicle systems like the CANBUS, On-Board Diagnostics System, and learn more about incorporating protections against radio frequency spoofing. Such agencies include the Air National Guard, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. By improving these systems and subsystems, the security and safety of military personnel in transit will be bolstered to an acceptable level to protect them and the potentially sensitive equipment they are carrying
An Assessment of Maine\u27s Capacity to Support Transitions of Care Through the Substance Use Disorder Continuum
No full textThis report evaluates Maine\u27s capacity to support effective transitions of care across the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment continuum. Using data collected from a statewide survey of 65 SUD providers, conducted from February to April 2025, the study examines organizational practices, inter-provider communication, and coordination strategies related to transitions between levels of care: medically supervised withdrawal, inpatient, and outpatient treatment programs. Key findings reveal strong intra-organizational communication, widespread understanding of ASAM criteria, and a general commitment to patient-centered care. However, gaps persist in coordination between care levels, particularly in withdrawal management programs, which rarely conduct follow-ups or collaborate with outpatient providers. Challenges identified include limited service availability, staffing shortages, inconsistent information sharing, and barriers in connecting patients to appropriate levels of care. The report highlights the importance of strengthening collaborative relationships across clinical, public health, and community-based organizations to enhance care continuity and patient outcomes.
