Class struggle as represented by the character eloi and morlock in hebert george wells’ the time machine
No full textAbstract
This study analyzed a novel written by Hebert George Wells, The Time Machine.The author talked about the different classes based on society’s economic status, namely upper class and lower class that might cause the class struggle. There were three objectives that were formulated by the writer, 1) to discuss the characterization of the Eloi and Morlock, 2) to present the conflict between Eloi and Morlock, 3) to discuss the class struggle between the upper and lower class in accomplishing their desire as represented by character Eloi and Morlock. In analyzing this novel the writer used the socio-cultural-historical and biographical approach and also the library research to analyze this novel. There were two main character in the novel that represented the upper and lower classes in nineteenth century. They had conflict since hundreds years ago that was the lower class were oppressed by the upper class. It made them bare and did the struggle. This struggle came from the economical, ideological and political background. Since the economical struggle that was increasing the wage and shorting the work hours was not approved, they made the ideological struggle. This struggle found the perfect way to control the upper class. After that, they did the political struggle that served the upper as the cattle and prey them. They also changed the rule which was oppressed to oppress. It recommended for the next researcher to use the same approach and for the teacher to use this novel as learning material

Assessing the material loss of the modular taper interface in retrieved metal on metal hip replacements
No full textMeasuring the amount of material loss in the case of revised hip replacements is considered to be a prerequisite of understanding and assessing the true in vivo performance of the implant. This paper outlines a method developed by the authors for quantifying taper material loss as well as more general taper interface parameters. Previous studies have mostly relied on visual inspection to assess the material loss at the taper interface, whereas this method aims to characterize any surface and form changes through the use of an out-of-roundness measurement machine. Along with assessing the volumetric wear, maximum linear penetration and taper contact length can also be determined. The method was applied to retrieved large head metal-on-metal femoral heads in order to quantify the material loss at this junction. Material loss from the female femoral head taper can be characterized as a localized area that is in contact with the stem taper surface. The study showed that this method has good repeatability and a low level of interoperability variation between operators
The influence of lateral heel flare of running shoes on pronation and impact forces
No full textNIGG, B. M. and M. MORLOCK. The purpose of this investigation was to study the influence of the flare at the lateral side of the heel of running shoes on: (a) initial and total pronation; (b) impact forces in heel-toe running; and (c) to explain the results with a mechanical model. The experimental part of the study was performed by using 14 male runners. Their running movement (4 m/s) was quantified by using a force platform and high-speed film (100 frames·s-1). Three shoes were used, identical except in their lateral heel flare, one shoe with a conventional flare of 16°, a second shoe with no flare, and a third shoe with a rounded heel (negative flare). The experimental results indicate that (for the used set of shoes); 1) increasing heel flare increases the amount of initial pronation; 2) changes in heel flare do not affect the magnitude of the total pronation; and 3) changes in heel flare do not alter the magnitude of the impact force peaks. Since shoes with rounded lateral heels do reduce initial pronation, it is speculated that this construction could be used to prevent anterior medial compartment syndrome at the tibia of runners. It was concluded that more research is needed to specify whether the reported result is representative for various shoe types or is shoe specific. © 1987 by the American College of Sports Medicine
20 Years of Archive Fever (Freud Museum)
No full text"It is what is happening, right here, when a house, the Freuds' last house, becomes a museum: the passage from one institution to another." (Jacques Derrida, 'Archive Fever')
Presented as a gift to the Freud Museum, Jacques Derrida's 1994 lecture 'Archive Fever' remains a compelling work for scholars and artists interested in the relationship between archives, memory, and technology.
Originally titled 'The Concept of the Archive: A Freudian Impression', Derrida's deconstruction of the act of archiving beautifully opens up the contradictory nature of archives: how they are simultaneously public and private spaces, institutive and conservative, traditional and revolutionary. To mark the 20th anniversary of the lecture, the 'archive' at the centre of Derrida's thinking - the Freud Museum - invited a number of academics who attended the lecture to recall their memories of it, offer their interpretations of the work, and explore its continued relevance today.
The panel included Riccardo Steiner (Psychoanalyst and speaker at the original conference), Prof. Sarah Wilson (Courtauld Institute, where the conference was held), Prof. Dany Nobus (Brunel University), Dr. Forbes Morlock (Syracuse University), Julia Borossa (Middlesex University) and Michael Molnar (Former Director of the Freud Museum and principal conference organizer).
"Derrida sees in Freud's writing the very desire that is Archive Fever: the desire to recover moments of inception: to find and possess all sorts of beginnings." (Carolyn Steedman, 'Dust')
In addition to the panel discussion, experts from different academic disciplines explained the importance of 'Archive Fever' to their work.
Contributions included talks by Prof. Carolyn Steedman (Emeritus Professor of History at Warwick University, and author of Dust: The Archive and Cultural History), Dr. Beverley Butler (Senior Lecturer at UCL's Institute of Archaeology), and Professor Jérôme Lèbre (Paris)
The event was curated by Guy Atkins (Doctoral Researcher at Goldsmiths and the Museum of London) and was recorded by James Bulley (Doctoral Researcher at Goldsmiths, University of London).

Development of Methods for Effect-Directed Detection and Quantification of Genotoxins and Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Complex Matrices
No full textConsumers, policy makers and industry need more powerful technologies for the detection of genotoxins and endocrine disruptors in complex matrices. Existing methods do not allow the analysis of unknown sample compositions or are based on effect-directed analysis with microorganisms, but this can give false negative results due to cytotoxicity or physico-chemical quenching effects and is not sensitive enough. For the first time, an HPTLC─(S9)-SOS-Umu-C bioassay was developed that also takes into account the metabolic activation of non-genotoxic substances. It was shown that the new bioassay has never reached detection limits. For packaging material migrates, HPTLC was shown to separate genotoxins from the cytotoxic matrix, making them detectable, which was not possible with the SOS-Umu-C microplate bioassay. Genotoxic linolenic acid epoxides were identified by coupling with HRMS. Analysis of several healthy vegetable oils for which the same fatty acid was shown to be a source of genotoxicity, among other genotoxins, showed that air exclusion can reduce genotoxin formation. The pYAES/pYAAS bioassays were used to detect endocrine disruptors in packaging material migrates. For detection enhancement, a 6-fold multiplex assay for simultaneous detection of agonists, antagonists, false positive antagonists, cytotoxins, anti-cytotoxins, and false positive anti-cytotoxins was developed and verified. A packaging agent migrate could be screened for endocrine disruptors and their disruptive properties could be verified in the same bioassay. The bioassays could also be used for risk assessment and authorization procedures under REACH and then improve product safety, as well as save time and costs.Sonstige Drittmittelgeber/-inne

Performance of the resurfaced hip. Part 1: the influence of the prosthesis size and positioning on the remodelling and fracture of the femoral neck
No full textHip resurfacing is an established treatment for osteoarthritis in young active patients. Failure modes include femoral neck fracture and prosthesis loosening, which may be associated with medium-term bone adaptation, including femoral neck narrowing and densification around the prosthesis stem.Finite element modelling was used to indicate the effects of prosthesis sizing and positioning on the bone remodelling and fracture strength under a range of normal and traumatic loads, with the aim of understanding these failure modes better.The simulations predicted increased superior femoral neck stress shielding in young patients with small prostheses, which required shortening of the femoral neck to give an acceptable implant–bone interface. However, with a larger prosthesis, natural femoral head centre recreation in the implanted state was possible; therefore stress shielding was restricted to the prosthesis interior, and its extent was less sensitive to prosthesis orientation. With valgus orientation, the implanted neck strength was, at worst, within 3 per cent of its intact strength.The study suggests that femoral neck narrowing may be linked to a reduction in the horizontal femoral offset, occurring if the prosthesis is excessively undersized. As such, hip resurfacing should aim to reproduce the natural femoral head centre, and, for valgus prosthesis orientation, to avoid femoral neck fracture
Role of aggressivity on reactivity and craving before and after cue exposure in recently detoxified alcoholics: Results from an experimental study
No full textThe role of aggressivity and cue exposure in induction of craving were investigated in a clinical setting. Thirty abstinent alcoholic patients were divided into a low and a high aggressive group based on scores on the physical aggression subscale of the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory and exposed to alcohol cues. Craving was measured by means of the Alcohol Craving Questionnaire (ACQ) and Visual Analogue Scales (VAS). Important findings are: (1) main effects of aggressivity on `emotionality', `purposefulness' and `expectancy' of ACQ were very significant; (2) on `drinking intention' and `craving for alcohol' of VAS, aggressivity and cue exposure showed a significant interaction; (3) the main effect of cue exposure on heart rate also reached a significance level of 0.007. The results were discussed in the context of the Classical, Operant Conditioning Theory, the Cognitive Craving Theory of Tiffany, Gilbert's STAR Model, and the Self-Medication Hypothesis Copyright (C) 2001 S.
