Pleasure and Dementia

What can pleasure in the nursing home teach us about dementia and subjectivity? In this article I seek to challenge the assumption that the ‘fourth age’ involves the loss of subjectivity. In presenting dementia as a single pathway towards loss and decline, alternative pathways that provide more hopeful imaginaries become obscured. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in residential dementia care, I show how care professionals craft conditions that invite residents to take pleasure in, for example, dancing and bathing, and thus to become what I call ‘appreciating subjects’. Although residents do not craft these conditions themselves, they are active in accepting the invitations offered and enacting their appreciations. I argue that pleasure is a relational achievement, one that is contagious for those who let themselves be affected.

The Effect of Welding Materials on 1Cr18Ni9Ti and 2Cr13 Steel Welding Joints Fracture Microstructure Pattern

By method of TIG, two kinds of welding materials were filled in, under certain welding craft conditions，1Cr18Ni9Ti and 2Cr13 were welded. By OM(ZEISS)、SEM，the microstructure of two kinds of 2Cr13 and 1Cr18Ni9Ti welding joints were observed and analyzed, by electronic universal tensile machine，mechanical properties of welding joints were measured. The results show that 2Cr13 and 1Cr18Ni9Ti welded joints is typical columnar crystal, the microstructure is lath martensite +residual austenite + carbide，the welding joints filled in two kinds of materials， rupture forms are toughness rupture; Elongation and tensile strength of welding joint filled in 308 welding material is better than that filled in H1Cr21Ni10Mn7Mo welding wire.

The Effect of Welding Materials on 1Cr18Ni9Ti and 2Cr13 Steel Welding Joints Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

By method of TIG, under certain welding craft conditions, two kinds of welding wire were added,1Cr18Ni9Ti and 2Cr13 steel were welded. By (ZEISS) OM, SEM, the microstructure of two kinds of 2Cr13 and 1Cr18Ni9Ti welding joints were observed and analyzed, by electronic universal tensile machine, mechanical properties of welding joints were measured. The results show that 2Cr13 and 1Cr18Ni9Ti welded joints is typical columnar crystal, the microstructure is lath martensite + residual austenite + carbide; the micro-hardness of two kinds of welding joint changes fluctuantly, it increases firstly and reduces secondly, the value is up to max in welded joint zone. The welding joints filled in two kinds of materials, tensile samples rupture forms are toughness rupture; plasticity and strength of welding joint filled in ER308 welding material is better than that of welding joint filled in H1Cr21Ni10Mn7Mo welding wire. On the contrary, its hardness is lower than that filled in H1Cr21Ni10Mn7Mo welding wire.

The Study on 1Cr18Ni9Ti and 2Cr13 Steel Welding Joints Corrosion Resistance Properties

By method of TIG, and under certain welding craft conditions,1Cr18Ni9Ti and 2Cr13 were welded. By (ZEISS) OM,SEM,the microstructure of two kinds of 2Cr13 and 1Cr18Ni9Ti welding joints were observed and analyzed, Through seawater immersion test, polarization curves and AC impedance spectroscopy of 1Cr18Ni9Ti and 2Cr13 welding joints were obtained. The results show that 2Cr13 and 1Cr18Ni9Ti welded joints is typical columnar crystal, the microstructure is lath martensite + austenite + carbide; polarization curves and AC impedance spectroscopy show that corrosion resistance of welding joint from strong to weak is: austenite base metal>HAZ near austenite>welded joint>HAZ near martensite>martensite base metal; corrosion resistance of welded joint is between martensite base metal and austenite base metal.

Improvement of Emulsified Automobile Polish Wax

Modified paraffin wax instead of natural bee wax has been used in the modified research of the automobile polish wax formula. The influence of the quality fraction of self-prepared emulsifier and thickener, as well as the emulsified craft conditions such as emulsified temperature, emulsified time, and agitate speed, on the emulsified wax performance were investigated separately. The results indicated that with the paraffin wax and the modified paraffin wax as the raw material, the quality fraction of the compound emulsifier was 2.1 ~ 2.5 wt% and the quality fraction of the thickener was 2.9 ~ 3.4 wt% at the technical condition of the emulsified temperature 85°C, the emulsified time of 40 min, and the agitate speed of 1000 r/min. The emulsified wax product was the translucent and neutral white emulsion with the blue light. The product would still be stable when it is laid aside for more than 60 ds. This emulsified wax was the raw material for automobile polish wax, which contained paraffin wax and the modified paraffin wax at 15 ~ 20 wt%. The emulsified automobile polish wax was prepared by adding some other surface active agents, luminous agent, and other promoters. This product would allow for cleaning, polishing, and waxing at the same time and operate easily with good effects.

Synthesis and Reactions of 5,6,7,8‐Tetrabromo‐4‐(3,4‐dimethylphenyl)‐1H‐2,3‐benzoxazin‐1‐one.

The behaviour of 5,6,7,8-tetrabromo-4-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-lH-2,3-benzoxazin-1-one towards phosphorus pentasulfide, active methylene compounds, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole under Friedel—Craft's conditions, Grignard reagents, o-phenylenediamine, and hydrazine hydrate has been investigated. Also, reactions of 2-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrabromo-4-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-2H-phthalazin-1-one with aromatic aldehyde, acetic anhydride, and ethyl acetate are described.

Thiophene Isosters of Phenylethanolamines

The reaction of a variety of substituted thiophenes, under Friedel–Craft conditions, leading to acetylthiophenes is described. Some of the by-products obtained are isolated and their mode of formation rationalized. The bromination, the reduction of the bromoketones, and their transformation to thienylethanolamines is reported. The degradation products of bromohydrin as well as isomeric amines obtained in the final substitution reaction are characterized and a possible mechanism for the formation of these compounds is proposed.

How the “Gatekeepers” View Local Civil Liberties News

Interviews with reporters and news sources in four California cities produced evidence of a preoccupation with “craft conditions” among newsmen and disclosed major reporter-source differences in the definition of news. The author describes various factors which influence the “fate” of the civil rights news story.
