Chuck Close: The Cost of Behaving Badly, and #Metoo
Get PDFIn July of 2016, artist, Chuck Close was interviewed with a front cover spread in New York Times Magazine to discuss his legendary career. In December of 2017, Close was accused of sexually mistreating women on numerous occasions. This dissertation considers the powerful artist Chuck Close and repercussions following recent accusations against him made by multiple women. It will help us begin to understand how the recent allegations affect art museums and public exhibitions. There is also a discussion analyzing if an artists’ work can be separated from the reputation of its author. A hedonic regression, data analysis and interviews with art advisors were conducted to reveal what the aftermath of the scandal looked like. Little research has addressed sexual assault in the art world. In unpacking the problems that surface in the #Metoo movement, the thesis will also ask if there is a certain way a museum as public institutions should respond and what legal actions can be instituted to avoid future problems
Chemical properties of virgin olive oil from Iranian cultivars grown in the Fadak and Gilvan regions
Get PDFThe aim of this study is to evaluate the chemical compositions (total phenol, fatty acid, sterolic compounds) of Iranian virgin olive oil (Zard, Rowghani, Mari) cultivated in the Gilvan (Zanjan Province) and Fadak (Qom Province) regions. Total phenols were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. Fatty acid and sterol profiles were also analyzed using gas chromatography. In most cases, significant effects (P < 0.05) of cultivars and locations were detected by the chemical composition of the oil samples. The fatty acid analysis indicated that the Mari variety from Gilvan had high oleic/low linoleic acid content; therefore it is a highly resistant olive oil against oxidation. Furthermore, the high mean values of total sterols were also obtained for the Mari variety. The oil of the Zard variety from Gilvan had the maximum amount of phenols as a positive quality index. Therefore, the Mari variety, especially from Gilvan has been suggested as a superior cultivar compared to the Zard and Rowghani varieties.El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la composición química (fenoles totales, ácidos grasos, y esteroles) de aceites de oliva virgen iranies (Zard, Rowghani, Mari) cultivados en las regions de Gilvan (provincia de Zanjan) y Fadak (provincia de Qom). Los fenoles totales se determinaron utilizando el método de Folin-Ciocalteu. Los perfiles de ácidos grasos y de esteroles se determinaron mediante cromatografía de gases. En la mayoría de los casos, existen diferencias significativos de los cultivares y los lugares detectados por la composición química (P < 0,05 ). El análisis de ácidos grasos indicó que la variedad Mari de Gilvan presenta una relación alta oleico/ linoleico; por lo tanto, es un aceite de alta resistencia contra la oxidación. Por otra parte, los valores medios altos de esteroles totales también fueron obtenidos para la variedad Mari. El aceite de la variedad Zard de Gilvan presentó la mayor cantidad de fenoles, considerado este valor como un índice de calidad positivo. La variedad Mari especialmente en Gilvan se sugeriere como un cultivar superior en comparación con las variedades Zard y Rowghani
Physical and chemical properties of olive oil extracted from olive cultivars grown in Shiraz and Kazeroon
No full textBackground and objective: The composition of olive oil is significantly affected by the cultivar and climatic conditions. The present study determined the chemical characteristics of olive oil extracted from two major Iranian varieties of olive (yellow and local oil-grade) in Shiraz and Kazeroon, two major olive-producing areas in Fars province. Materials and methods: The composition of olive oil is significantly affected by the cultivar and climatic conditions. The present study determined the chemical characteristics of olive oil extracted from two major Iranian varieties of olive (yellow and local oil-grade) in Shiraz and Kazeroon, two major olive-producing areas in Fars province. Results: The results showed that the physical and chemical properties of both cultivars are in accordance with national and international standards. There was a significant difference in acidity, iodine content and peroxide content between cultivars (P<0.05) in both regions, but the differences between saponification and nonsaponifiable matter were not statistically significant (P≥ 0.05). The oleic acid content of the yellow cultivar was higher than the local oil-grade, and the palmitic, palmitoleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid content in the local oil-grade was higher. There was a positive correlation between oleic acid content and temperature. The oleic acid content of the local oil-grade cultivar in Kazeroon was lower than codex standards and the yellow cultivar of Shiraz had the highest oleic acid content. Conclusion: The superior quality of the yellow cultivar of Shiraz, which had the highest oleic acid content (75%) and lowest linoleic acid content recommends it as the best variety. The inferior quality of the local oil-grade olive is demonstrated by its low oleic acid content and high linoleic acid content. These results indicate that the quality of the olive oil depends both on the olive cultivar and geographical region. Keywords: Olive oil, Yellow cultivar, Oil-grade cultivar, Shiraz, Kazeroo

Customer engagement value (CEV) in the subscription economy: a systematic literature review
No full textThe subscription model, prominent within the ‘subscription economy’ (SE), is now a popular form of business within many industries. In simple terms, a subscription model entails two parties (customers and firms) entering into an agreement whereby the patron commits to make regular payments to the supplier, who in exchange periodically delivers an agreed bundle of goods and/or services. Although mostly applied within Business-to-Consumer (B2C) markets (e.g. entertainment services, newspapers and media industry, software licences), the subscription model can be found in Business-to-Business (B2B) markets also (e.g. Rolls Royce ‘Power-by-the-hour model’). This unique form of commerce (i.e. committed repeat patronage) creates an alternative relationship between the buyer and seller to other more traditional forms of business

No full textImpact of creatinine clearance on helicobacter pylori eradication rate in patients with peptic ulcer disease
Get PDFIntroduction. Gastrointestinal complaints are common in patients with kidney failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of creatinine clearance on Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication rate in patients with peptic ulcer disease. Materials and Methods. In this clinical trial, 132 patients with a range of kidney function (normal to end-stage renal disease) and peptic ulcer disease with HP infection were enrolled and divided into 5 groups by their creatinine clearance. For all patients, a 14-day standard regimen of triple therapy for peptic ulcer was started with omeprazole, 20 mg; clarithromycin, 500 mg; and amoxicillin, 1 g; twice per day. After 6 weeks, HP eradication rate were evaluated and compared between the groups with urea breath test. Results. The mean age of the participants was 44.84 ± 12.20 years and 68 (51.5%) were women. The five groups were not significantly different in terms of age, sex distribution, or body mass index. The results of urea breath test at 6 weeks were positive in 23 patients (17.4%). There was no significant difference in HP eradication rate (negative urea breath test) between the five groups. Conclusions. This study showed no association between the success rate of eradication of HP infection and kidney function. © 2015, Iranian Society of Nephrology. All rights reserved

No full textEffect of cold stress on water relations, photosynthetic pigments and antioxidant enzymes in olive seedlings
No full text[EN] European olive (Olea europaea L.), an evergreen woody plant, is relatively tolerant to cold and drought and its cultivation in semi-arid regions is an important strategy. In this work, the response of olive cultivar `Zard¿ to chilling and freezing are evaluated in a completely randomized design. Two-year-old olive seedlings were exposed at temperature of -10, -5, 2 and 10°C for 3 and 6 hours. Relative water content (RWC), water potential (WP), electrolyte leakage (EL), photosynthetic pigments content [including chlorophyll (Chl) a, Chl b, Chl a/b, total chlorophyll (ChlTOT) and carotenoid], ChlTOT/carotenoid ratio were determined at the end of the treatments. Likewise, the specific activities of some antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POX), were also measured in leaf extracts at the same time. The effect of temperature and duration of cold treatment and their interaction were significant on EL and SOD activity. Both pigment content and antioxidant enzyme activities were influenced by temperature but ChlTOT and enzymes of SOD and POX differed significantly in relation to the duration of the cold treatment. RWC and WP were changed by temperature and also by duration of cold treatment. With increasing the cold stress (from 10 to -10°C), RWC, WP and photosynthetic pigments decreased but SOD, POX and CAT activities increased. However, the increase in the activities of antioxidant enzymes was not enough to eliminate the damage induced by oxidative stress. This study evidenced as events of low temperature (below 10°C) during the cultivation of olive (cultivar `Zard¿) induced alteration in plant physiology. From a practical standpoint, the results could be used as approximate tools to determine whether the temperature conditions in a proposed new growing region are appropriate for achieving sustainable oil productivity and quality.Mohajeri, K.; Tabari, M.; Sadati, E.; Javanmard, Z.; Guidi, L.; Vicente, O.

The buttressed walls problem: An application of a hybrid clustering particle swarm optimization algorithm
Get PDF[EN] The design of reinforced earth retaining walls is a combinatorial optimization problem of interest due to practical applications regarding the cost savings involved in the design and the optimization in the amount of CO2 emissions generated in its construction. On the other hand, this problem presents important challenges in computational complexity since it involves 32 design variables; therefore we have in the order of 10^20 possible combinations. In this article, we propose a hybrid algorithm in which the particle swarm optimization method is integrated that solves optimization problems in continuous spaces with the db-scan clustering technique, with the aim of addressing the combinatorial problem of the design of reinforced earth retaining walls. This algorithm optimizes two objective functions: the carbon emissions embedded and the economic cost of reinforced concrete walls. To assess the contribution of the db-scan operator in the optimization process, a random operator was designed. The best solutions, the averages, and the interquartile ranges of the obtained distributions are compared. The db-scan algorithm was then compared with a hybrid version that uses k-means as the discretization method and with a discrete implementation of the harmony search algorithm. The results indicate that the db-scan operator significantly improves the quality of the solutions and that the proposed metaheuristic shows competitive results with respect to the harmony search algorithm.The first author was supported by the Grant CONICYT/FONDECYT/INICIACION/11180056, the other two authors were supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, along with FEDER funding (Project: BIA2017-85098-R).Garcia, J.; Martí Albiñana, JV.; Yepes, V.
