Meda. A Tale of the Future. As Related by Kenneth Folingsby (1891)
No full textThe focus of this «tale of the future» is the relationship between utopia and dietary habits. «If eating and drinking could be dispensed with, man’s intellectual power would increase and permanent morality would be ensued». A believer in evolution by mutation, the author develops the recurrent utopian topos of an ideal mankind transformed by correct nutritional principles. He takes these premises to extremes; the stomach becomes the «sink of iniquity» bearing the stamp of moral/bodily corruption and betraying the «gormandising habits and greed for gain of bloated gluttons». Hygienics, ethics and aesthetics are thus deeply interwoven: by eradicating base bodily appetite, the atrophy of digestive organs has enhanced the nurture of the intellect as well as healed moral abjection. Folingsby’s utopia is based on the power of mental and physical health to elicit a refinement of ethos as well as to redraw aesthetic criteria. This idea is further validated by the traveller’s process of estrangement and subsequent acquisition of a radically transformed frame of mind which modifies his critical parameters and re-defines his identity. By describing the mutants as keen observers of life on other planets as well as of the vital functions of the ancient specimen, the author emphasises heuristics as the discipline fundamental to human development

Several components of postural control are affected by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo but improve after particle-repositioning maneuvers: A systematic review and meta-analysis
No full textObjective Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is a vestibular disorder causing vertigo and imbalance. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore the impact of benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo and repositioning maneuvers on postural control. Data Sources In September 2024, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and reference lists of included studies were systematically searched. Articles comparing measures of postural control between patients and controls, and/or pre- and posttreatment were considered relevant. Methods Study selection, data extraction and identification of risk of bias were done by two researchers. If possible, meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager version 5.4.1 and standardized mean differences were calculated with a random-effects model. Results Twenty-one of the 37 included studies were useful for meta-analyses. Meta-analyses revealed that benign paroxysmal positional vertigo negatively affects perception of verticality (p < .001; SMD = 0.73; 95% CI = [0.39;1.08]) and sensory orientation (p < .001; SMD = -1.66; 95% CI = [-2.08, -1.23]). The perception of verticality (p < .001; SMD = 0.99; 95% CI = [0.76;1.21]) and sensory orientation (p < .001; SMD = -0.77; 95% CI = [-1.11, -0.44]) improved after treatment with repositioning maneuvers. Results of systematic review indicate stability in gait was impaired, vertigo but improve after repositioning maneuvers. Limits of stability were impaired in older patients, but did not improved after repositioning maneuvers. Conclusion Benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo affects several underlying components of postural control. Repositioning maneuvers can significantly improve the related postural control impairments. This may partly explain the increased odds of falling in these patients, and the positive treatment effect of repositioning maneuvers on falls and fear of falling.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This work was supported by Special Research Fund of the Hasselt University (grant number

Biosynthetic and structural studies of neomycin and berninamycin
No full text(\sp{13}C\sb6) Glucose (3) was supplemented to seven-days old resting cells of neomycin B-proucing S.fradiae. The \sp{13}C NMR spectra of the enriched neomycin B (2) showed complex coupling patterns which suggested that 3 is not incorporated as an intact C\sb6 unit into the carbon skeleton of 2. These complex splitting patterns of 2 can be explained when 3 is first shunted through the pentose phosphate pathway to form primary metabolites of different carbon length. Some of these metabolites are then reconstituted back to six-carbon unit for the biosynthesis of 2.Two-dimensional NMR and FAB MS/MS studies have confirmed the structure of berninamycin A as proposed by Abe et al. Biosynthetic studies with \sp{13}C enriched amino acids showed that the dehydroalanines units were formed by dehydration of serine, the oxazoles were formed by condensing a threonine unit with a dehydrothreonine/dehydroalanine, the thiazole was formed by combining a cysteine with a dehydroalanine, and the biosynthesis of the pyridine ring was similar to the piperidine/hydroxypyridine ring formation in thiostrepton and nosiheptide. The biogensis of berninamycin A was discussed.Berninamycins B, C, and D were isolated by reverse-phased HPLC from S.bernensis. The structures of berninamycins B and D were studied with \sp{13}C NMR and FAB mass spectrometries. Berninamycin B was found to be deoxyberninamycin A with a valine unit instead of the -hydroxyvaline unit of berninamycin A. Berninamycin D was found to have two less dehydroalanine units attached to the carboxyl carbon of the pyridine ring moiety. The structure of berninamycin C was postulated to have one less dehydroalanine unit attached to the carboxyl carbon of pyridine based on FABMS result. The biogeneses of these minor metabolites were discussed.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T14:04:43Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2

An Architectural Reference for Zoological Parks
No full textThis is a research exercise to produce and bring to light the most important user requirements for those major mammals upon whom we have imposed our reign. It may be a document to provide a means of change to remedy an ailing conscience of moral obligations to those other members of our earth family whom we have put in the zoos of the world. The author\u27s purpose is not to belittle work completed or in progress at the many zoos but to provide a concise reference document for future architectural endeavors and a gauge for valid criticism. The need for such a work is justified in the author\u27s mind by the growth in zoos and growth within zoos, and the millions of visitors each year who retreat to the zoological parks and gardens to view what they systematically remove from the outside. Furthermore, this author observed too many caged animals with broken spirits to content himself with a lesser effort. The major mammals involved in these pages consist of those animals with which the architect most likely would become involved: Anthropoid apes, bears, cats, the elephant, giraffe, hippopotamus, kangaroo and wallaby, rhinoceros, seal, sea lion and zebra. Carl Hagenbeck and Robert Garner at the turn of the century presented impressively modern ideas for housing animals. The concept of the zoological parks derives its birth from these early pioneers of humanity in animal housing. This text consolidates and produces information which will enable the architect/designer to produce animal housing and enclosures in the spirit of their early efforts
Post-war British working-class fiction with special reference to the novels of John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, Stan Barstow, David Storey and Barry Hines
No full textThis study is about British working-class fiction in the post-war period.
It covers various authors such as Robert Tressell, George Orwell, Walter Greenwood, Lewis Grassic Gibbon and DH Lawrence from the early twentieth century; writers traditionally classified as 'Angry Young Men' like John Osborne, Arnold Wesker, Shelagh Delaney, John Wain and
Kingsley Amis; and working-class novelists like John Braine, Stan Barstow, David Storey, Alan Sillitoe and Barry Hines from the 1950s and 1960s.
Some of the main issues dealt with in the course of this study are language, form, community, self/identity/autobiography, sexuality and relationship with bourgeois art. The major argument centres on two questions: representation of working-class life, and the
relationship between working-class literary tradition and dominant ideologies.
We will be arguing that while working-class fiction succeeded in challenging and rupturing bourgeois literary tradition, on the level of language and linguistic medium of expression for example, it utterly failed to break away from dominant, bourgeois modes of literary production in relation to form, for instance.
Our argument is situated within Marxist approaches to literature, a political and aesthetic position from which we attempt an analysis and an evaluation of this working-class literary tradition. These critical approaches provide us also with the theoretical tool to define the political perspective of this tradition, and to judge whether it was confined to a descriptive mode of representation or
located in a radical, political outlook
