Jonathan David Katz: How AIDS Changed American Art
No full textQueer Arts Festival and SFU\u27s Vancity Office of Community Engagement presented a lecture by Jonathan David Katz, PhD, on the exhibition ART/AIDS/AMERICA at the Tacoma Art Museum from now until Jan 10, 2016. Generally considered merely a tragic tangent to US culture, AIDS has in fact been one of the most powerful shaping forces in American culture since the 1980\u27s. We have repressed AIDS’ role in the making of our culture in keeping with our longstanding, repression of AIDS in general. But repression, as known from psychoanalysis, is the sign of great power. The lecture was followed by a Q&A with Dr. Katz.Jonathan David Katz is a pioneering academic and gay activist who works at the intersection of art history and queer history. Widely recognized as a leading authority in queer art history, his work as curator, scholar, and activist has had a profound impact on the understanding of queer art and artists in both academia and the larger world. Katz founded the Harvey Milk Institute, the world’s largest queer studies institute, and serves as president and chief curator of New York City\u27s Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art. His recent work includes co-curating “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Art,” an exhibition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery that broke ground by focusing on LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) issues. Katz directs SUNY Buffalo’s PhD program in visual studies. Katz is currently co-curating ART/AIDS/AMERICA at the Tacoma Art Museum from now until January 10, 2016, and will curate the 2016 Queer Arts Festival visual arts exhibition this coming June
Assessing stool quantities generated by three specific Kato-Katz thick smear templates employed in different settings.
No full textBACKGROUND
The Kato-Katz technique is recommended for the diagnosis of helminth infections in epidemiological surveys, drug efficacy studies and monitoring of control interventions. We assessed the comparability of the average amount of faeces generated by three Kato-Katz templates included in test kits from two different providers.
METHODS
Nine hundred Kato-Katz thick smear preparations were done; 300 per kit. Empty slides, slides plus Kato-Katz template filled with stool and slides plus stool after careful removal of the template were weighed to the nearest 0.1 mg. The average amount of stool that was generated on the slide was calculated for each template, stratified by standard categories of stool consistency (i.e. mushy, soft, sausage-shaped, hard and clumpy).
RESULTS
The average amount of stool generated on slides was 40.7 mg (95 % confidence interval (CI): 40.0-41.4 mg), 40.3 mg (95 % CI: 39.7-40.9 mg) and 42.8 mg (95 % CI: 42.2-43.3 mg) for the standard Vestergaard Frandsen template, and two different templates from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC), respectively. Mushy stool resulted in considerably lower average weights when the Vestergaard Frandsen (37.0 mg; 95 % CI: 34.9-39.0 mg) or new China CDC templates (37.4 mg; 95 % CI: 35.9-38.9 mg) were used, compared to the old China CDC template (42.2 mg; 95 % CI: 40.7-43.7 mg) and compared to other stool consistency categories.
CONCLUSION
The average amount of stool generated by three specific Kato-Katz templates was similar (40.3-42.8 mg). Since the multiplication factor is somewhat arbitrary and small changes only have little effect on infection intensity categories, it is suggested that the standard multiplication factor of 24 should be kept for the calculation of eggs per gram of faeces for all investigated templates
Label A. Katz papers, 1910s-1969. [bulk 1953-1965]
No full textThe bulk of the collection documents Label A. Katz's activities on behalf of B'nai B'rith from the 1950s to the 1960s, especially during his presidency (1959-1965). Facets of B'nai B'rith best represented are the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations, B'nai B'rith Youth Organization, Anti-Defamation League and the International Council. Frequent B'nai B'rith correspondents include Maurice Bisgyer, Philip Klutznick and Saul Joftes. In addition to correspondence, materials include speeches, clippings, minutes, reports and photographs. Major subjects in the collection are Soviet Jewry, Jewish education, and U.S. and international anti-semitic incidents. There is some material related to Katz's efforts on behalf of displaced persons, B'nai B'rith's post-WWII claims against Germany, civil rights and desegregation in the American South, B'nai B'rith's relations with the Vatican, and local New Orleans issues. The collection carries very little related to Katz's business ventures and legal work. His personal and family life is best represented in photographs in Series III, as well as in his brief account of his background (Box 1, Folder 1) and the scrapbook contents (Box 4, Folder 3) in Series I.Published citations should take the following form: Identification of item, date (if known); Label A.

He went on to become president of B'nai B'rith Lodge No. 182 of New Orleans, 1946-1947; president of B'nai B'rith District Grand Lodge No. 7, 1953-1954; chairman of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League Committee in New Orleans, 1955-1958; and president of Bânai Bârith International, 1959-1965. During his B'nai B'rith International presidency, Katz focused on issues of Jewish education and international affairs, particularly in respect to Soviet Jewry. He also served as district chairman of B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation and the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization and chairman of the Anti-Defamation League Mid-South Regional Board. Additionally, on the national level, Katz was chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, 1960-1961, and president of the National Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.

Leo Katz as an author of children’s books. A failed attempt?
No full textDas Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, Leo Katz als Kinderbuchautor zu betrachten und darüber
nachzudenken, welche Rolle seine Jugendbücher in seinem gesamten Werk und in der
Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur spielen. Es werden nicht
nur seine veröffentlichten Kinderbücher betrachtet, sondern auch andere
unveröffentlichte Jugendromane, die unbekannt bzw. unpubliziert geblieben sind.
Um den Autor aus der Vergessenheit zu holen, werden unter anderem die nicht
bekannten Werke des Autors für Jugendliche vorgestellt und es wird überlegt, weshalb
sie damals nicht veröffentlicht wurden.Stadt Wien KulturDepto. de Filología Alemana y Filología EslavaFac. de Comercio y TurismoTRUEpu
