Ginsberg on the Road

Ginsberg on the Road Maria Damon (bio) World Citizen: Allen Ginsberg as Traveller David S. Wills Beatdom Books www.beatdom.com/product/world-citizen-allenginsberg-as-traveller/ 177 Pages; Print, $14.00 David S. Wills's World Citizen: Allen Ginsberg as Traveller offers a pleasant, thoroughly researched and convincing account of the poet's travels and their relevance to his writing. The book is informative and weaves insights into Ginsberg's personal drive to visit multiple countries, to experience both their high-cultural institutions and their demi-mondes, and to meet and network with international poets and writers—it also offers a possible window into, but does not pursue, questions such as how the phenomenon of Cold War US ideology shaped views of the meaning of travel for young "men of letters." While one might wonder why such a volume is necessary, however, while the author admits with refreshing candor (the latter word being a favorite of Ginsberg's) that the book was catalyzed by his own love of travel but also his recognition that a book of his own travels would have limited appeal to a wider readership—an admission that both charms and raises apprehensions in equal measures—and that "most readers familiar with Allen Ginsberg's life will find little in this book that is ground-breaking," a truthful assessment, the book itself provides an excellent, concise, and eminently readable guide to this aspect of the life of one of the twentieth century's most famous poets. Indeed, the casual and decidedly nonacademic nature of the book's paratextual elements combined with the clearly careful and responsible research turn out to contribute to an inviting and enjoyable if unchallenging re-contextualization of Ginsberg's life and work under the rubric of travel. In its eschewal of standard academic apparatus, the book corresponds well to the "beat" ethos that inflected Ginsberg's life—an ethos the poet certainly was instrumental in creating, publicizing, and popularizing. These attributes of informed, conversational engagement, and independence from typical structures of scholarly dissemination are further underscored by the nature of the publisher: Beatdom Books is Wills's own imprint. "Aha, vanity press!" one might think. Or, alternately and more appropriately, "Aha! DIY will never die!" The spirit of not only creating one's own work, but also taking responsibility for reproducing and distributing it, has a time-honored place in countercultural and subcultural movements. This book instantiates that legacy, and for the most part does well by it. Organized into four parts, World Citizen is, as one would expect, chronologically structured to start with Ginsberg's earliest travels (in the Merchant Marine) as well as his youthful fascination with East Asia, especially China, and extends through his maturity, his rise in international stature, his evolution from an eager young traveler mad for experience of the world to a revered and/or notorious public figure and poet traveling to reading and speaking engagements, distinguished teaching appointments and the like—yet still mad for experience of the world. What stayed constant throughout his life was his passion for art museums and the cultural masterpieces of every place he encountered, his desire to explore the hidden underworlds of his host countries and cities, his gregarious nature, and his ability to bond with strangers easily. The book is most successful and compelling when it shows the relationship between specific travels and certain poems, whether it be the influence, during his 1962-63 trip to India, of a "female lama" whose advises that his investment in hallucinations and visions is superficial and illusory—leading to his shedding a pursuit of "effects" and going for a closer, more concise attention to "words. Language: the prime material itself"—or the influence of his 1954 Mexican sojourn on the "COMPOUND Imagism" on his masterpiece "Howl" (i.e. "hydrogen jukebox") but first developed in Xbalba and evinced in the poem "Siesta in Xbalba." Moreover, Ginsberg kept extensive travel journals (the Indian Journals [1970] the most famous of these) and, as many poets do, culled them for poetry throughout his life. This practice makes the researcher's job of linking the poems with the journals, chronologically, imagistically...

Analysis of voltage and current flow of electrical transmission lines through mZK equation

Discrete networks, nonlinear networks, high speed computer data buses, computer network connections, and cable signal distribution are analyzed using the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (mZK) equation as a model governing the propagation in the electrical transmission lines. In this study, we establish viable extensive traveling wave solutions with the familiar singular kink type, kink type, bell-type solution, singular bell-type solution, t-type solution, and some advanced soliton solutions through the modified simple equation (MSE) and the sine-Gordon expansion methods. The established solutions are highly stable, resilient and capable to travel long distance. The solutions obtained can determine the voltage and current flow that can be used to design the transmission lines. The density plot and three-dimensional diagrams of the solutions obtained illustrate the voltage and current distributions in the transmission line. The traveling wave solutions are found in closed-form which simplify their utilization. The implemented methods are compatible for the extraction of traveling wave solutions.

Vector–Borne infections in Pakistan do not come alone

Background: From 1995 till 2019, around 147,200 cases of dengue infection and more than 800 deaths are reported from Pakistan. Vector of dengue virus is mosquito Aedes which is capable of transmitting other viral infections like Chikungunya, Zika, and Yellow Fever. From 2016–2018, Chikungunya infection was reported in 776 patients. With exponential increase in population and utilization of resources, it is important to eradicate this mosquito. Methods and materials: The present study provides an in-depth analysis on the factors, both virological and environmental, responsible for making dengue infection and its vector Aedes endemic in Pakistan. For this study, phylogeographic analysis of dengue, and Chikungunya virus was conducted using BEAST program. Coalescent GMRF Bayesian Skyride and Brownian Random Walk model was selected as continuous traits substitution model. Data was collected to relate vector distribution, and conditions responsible in increasing Aedes population. Results: The Chikungunya virus in Pakistan originated from the nodes of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, India in 2015. This virus spread in Malir, Karachi and in Bahawalpur, Punjab, Pakistan in 2016. CHIKV strains of Pakistan resemble Indian strains due to their origin. Dengue strains are closely related to Indian and Chinese isolates. Pakistan being the fifth most populous country with density population of 281, Comoros2, the main cities of Karachi and Hyderabad in Sind province; Lahore and Faisalabad in Punjab province; and Islamabad/Rawalpindi of federal area and Peshawar of KP make up 22 million of population. Climatic change is not the only factor responsible for increased vector population in areas. Other global change factors including, growing population, agriculture, deforestation, and urbanization equally and significantly contribute to spread of mosquitoes. All these factors add to breeding of Aedes mosquito in any region. Previously a dweller of greenery, this mosquito became domesticated through extensive travel and trade in different areas of Pakistan. Conclusion: First dengue became endemic in Pakistan, then Chikungunya was isolated form Pakistan. Each year resurfacing of dengue infection points towards future danger of spreading of other Aedes borne infections in Pakistan. It is not impossible to say that soon Zika infections will be reported from Pakistan.

Urgent wake up call for the National Basketball Association.

Frequent air travel and the condensed game schedule typical of a National Basketball Association (NBA) team during the season, often results in accompanying sleep disturbances related to sleep length, sleep quality, and sleep timing (with highly harmful impacts on health, both physical and mental). These issues are not only problematic for NBA players, but also the coaches, training staff, and management support. In this narrative review, we summarize the detrimental effects that this travel and game schedule could have on NBA team members' sleep, as well as their physical and mental health. Multiple peer-reviewed articles address the role of sleep in athletic performance and health; however, to date, the literature focused on sleep-related issues that are unique to the NBA schedule is scarce. Firstly, this review addresses the impact of the NBA schedule, outlining the number of games and the travel involved (number of flights, the timing of flights, timings of arrival at destination and hotel); we also outline a typical daily NBA travel schedule, providing the reader a glimpse of what this encompasses. Secondly, we provide a brief overview of sleep science and discuss specific applications related to the NBA. Finally, we provide comment on the unique current situation of the NBA "bubble". Based on this review, there appears to be considerable scope for further investigation of the acute and chronic effects of sleep disturbances concerning the NBA travel and game schedule. Sleep science recommendations need to inform practice, target sleep interventions, and personalized protocols designed to enhance sleep health that can be incorporated at the organizational level.

Assessing the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on the environment: A correlation or causation?

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted human lives, human activities, and the world economy. In response to curb its spread, pandemic risk reduction measures such as mass lockdowns, extensive travel bans, and mass quarantine were imposed globally.

Nielsen, Saul and David and the Symbolist Movement

This article explores the position of Nielsen and his first opera Saul and David in the European symbolist movement of the 1890s. Through a study of Nielsen’s published letters and diary entries from the period, it is possible to present the composer’s wide interest in art and engagement with artists – both in Denmark and on his extensive European travels – at a time when symbolism was dominating the modern art scene. Furthermore, one can trace artistic strategies in Nielsen’s early work – in this case, the opera Saul and David – that correspond to different ideas of symbolism. This includes combining archaic materials with contemporary techniques, as well as creating a subjective expression through mood and simplified, non-naturalistic styles.

MILIARY MICRONODULES: TB OR NOT TB?

SESSION TITLE: Medical Student/Resident Lung Pathology SESSION TYPE: Med Student/Res Case Rep Postr PRESENTED ON: October 18-21, 2020 INTRODUCTION: Miliary nodules are randomly dispersed pulmonary micronodules found on chest radiograph and CT imaging that can be the manifestation of many diseases, carrying a broad differential based on imaging alone. While an infectious process is most likely, it is important to avoid anchoring on a single diagnosis with this finding, especially in the face of inconclusive data. CASE PRESENTATION: A 49-year-old male nonsmoker with past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and stable ulcerative colitis presented to the Emergency Room from his primary care physician’s office with a 3-week history of cough, dyspnea on exertion and a chest x-ray concerning for diffuse airspace disease. He denied fevers, chills, or night sweats, but endorsed unintentional weight loss. He has had extensive international travel, and most recently traveled to England and Vietnam, where he was in predominantly urban areas. On arrival, he was afebrile, hemodynamically stable, but hypoxemic on room air. Chest CT demonstrated diffuse pulmonary nodular opacities in a miliary pattern bilaterally with a 1.7 cm cavitary lesion in the LUL. He was admitted and placed in airborne isolation amid concern of miliary tuberculosis. BAL on day 2 of multiple lung zones was performed. Mtb PCR and AFB smears were negative for tuberculosis, but positive for PCP PCR in only one LUL sample. His respiratory symptoms persisted despite antibiotic therapy; he was not started on anti-tuberculoid therapy. VATS was then performed, and tissue biopsies revealed non-small cell lung carcinoma with bilateral pulmonary metastases. Pathology and genotyping demonstrated poorly differentiated HER2+/EGFR- lung adenocarcinoma. DISCUSSION: We describe a middle-aged nonsmoking male with a subacute cough and progressive dyspnea in the setting of extensive international travel and randomly dispersed pulmonary micronodules on CT. Miliary pattern is thought to be due to hematogenous spread of disease. In areas where tuberculosis is endemic, image findings can often be diagnostic, however these must be differentiated from centrilobular or perilymphatic patterns of distribution. While this presentation had several features suspicious for miliary tuberculosis, BAL Mtb PCR specimens were negative, forcing reconsideration of non-infectious etiologies. Rapid evaluation by VATS tissue biopsy diagnosed primary lung adenocarcinoma with pulmonary metastasis. The data on genotyping intrapulmonary carcinomatosis as a means of further characterization is still growing, and the HER2+ mutation is found in only 1% of non-small cell lung cancers. CONCLUSIONS: This case represents the importance of rapid testing, without premature diagnostic closure for distinguishing two potentially fatal, but treatable diseases such as miliary tuberculosis and poorly differentiated HER2+ lung adenocarcinoma.

Passage through India: self-fashioning in Santha Rama Rau’s Indian travel narratives

ABSTRACT This article analyses the self-fashioning of the cosmopolitan travel writer Santha Rama Rau (1923–2009) as a quintessentially “Indian” memoirist for her metropolitan audience of the global North. The article explores how her self-fashioning involves a complex duality that underlines most of Rau’s travel writings on India with a characteristic sense of aporia. In these travel writings, Rau lays claim to her Indian identity on the basis of her Indian birth and parentage and her extensive travels within the subcontinent. However, Rau’s American education which had taught her to value individuality and economic independence made it difficult for her to associate completely with the patriarchal structure of contemporary Indian middle-class families. Thus, this piece analyses the way Rau negotiates with the crisis by dissociating herself from the Indian middle-class domestic space while framing her identity as a travelling “career woman” who claims the entire subcontinent for home.

An Icon in Motion: Rethinking the Iconography of Itinerant Monk Paintings from Dunhuang

This essay reconsiders the iconography of the group of paintings from Dunhuang commonly referred to as “itinerant monk paintings.” In an effort to acknowledge the paintings as a tradition unto themselves and highlight their visual language, this study focuses on the issues surrounding Baosheng Buddha and the unique feature of depicting the main icon in motion. The first matter is discussed in relation to the religious and artistic contexts of the inscriptions preserved in some paintings, and possible changes in the main figure’s identity from a monk worshiping Baosheng Buddha to the incarnation itself. The main icon’s mobile nature is examined in terms of its walking posture and cloud vehicle. Considering the tradition of xingdao seng or xing seng (walking monks) in monastery murals, this paper illuminates a growing interest in the Tang (618–907) period in portraying walking monks that underscores their position and role in the world of sentient beings. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the cloud vehicle played a critical role in underlining the main icon’s extensive and rapid travel to facilitate his encounter with and saving of sentient beings.

Gaps in Team Communication About Service Statistics Among Health Extension Workers in Ethiopia: Secondary Data Analysis.

BackgroundIn Ethiopia, health extension workers (HEWs) are deployed across the country by the government to meet public health needs. Team communication is important for effective teamwork, but community health workers in low-resource settings like Ethiopia may face challenges in carrying out team meetings to compile service statistics. This is due to the nature of their outreach activities, which requires extensive travel.ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify gaps in team communication about service statistics among HEWs in Ethiopia. Considering mobile communication and data collection as tools for bridging these gaps, we examined disparities in access to electricity, which has been identified as one of the major barriers to this approach.MethodsData from the most recent Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020 service delivery point survey were used for our analysis. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify disparities in team communication on service statistics for family planning, which is a major component of the HEW’s job. Disparities were examined across health facilities with different levels of HEW integration in their staffing structure (ie, no HEWs, at least one HEW, or only HEWs). Additionally, a chi-square test was conducted to examine disparities in access to electricity to explore the potential of mobile communication and data collection integration.ResultsIn total, 427 health facilities of four different types (ie, hospitals, health centers, health posts, and health clinics) were included in our analysis. At most health posts (84/95, 88%), only HEWs were employed; none of the health clinics integrated the HEW model into their staffing structure. Among the 84 health posts, the odds of having team meetings on family planning service statistics in the past 12 months were 0.48 times the odds of those without HEWs (P=.02). No statistically significant differences were found between HEW-only facilities and facilities with at least one HEW. Most health facilities (69/83, 83.13%) with HEWs as the only staff had no electricity at the time of the survey while 71.25% (57/80) had intermittent access (ie, service disruption lasting 2 or more hours that day). There were statistically significant differences in electricity access among health facilities with different levels of HEW integration (P<.001).ConclusionsFacilities employing only HEWs were less likely to have regular team meetings to discuss service statistics. Since their responsibilities involve extensive outreach activities, travel, and paper-based recordkeeping, empowering HEWs with mobile communication and data collection can be a workable solution. The empirical evidence regarding disparities in electricity access also supports the need for and the feasibility of this approach.

Understanding the field of rural health academic research: a national qualitative, interview-based study.

Rural areas depend on a specific evidence base that directly informs their unique health systems and population health context. Developing this evidence base and its translation depends on a trained rural health academic workforce. However, to date, there is limited description of this workforce and the field of rural health research. This study aimed to characterise this field to inform how it can be fostered. Qualitative semi-structured interviews of 50-70 minutes duration were conducted with 17 early career rural health researchers based in Australian rural and remote communities, to explore their professional background, training and research experiences. Six key themes emerged: becoming a rural health researcher; place-based research that has meaning; generalist breadth; trusted partnerships; small, multidisciplinary research teams; and distance and travel. The field mostly attracted researchers already living in rural areas. Researchers were strongly inspired by doing research that effected local change and addressed inequalities. Their research required a generalist skill set, applying diverse academic and local contextual knowledge that was broader than their doctoral training. Research problems were complex, diverse and required novel methods. Research occurred within trusted community partnerships spanning wide geographic catchments, stakeholders and organisations. This involved extensive leadership, travel and time for engagement and research co-production. Responding to the community was related to researchers doing multiple projects of limited funding. The field was also depicted by research occurring in small collegial, multidisciplinary teams focused on 'people' and 'place' although researchers experienced geographic and professional isolation with respect to their field and main university campuses. Researchers were required to operationalise all aspects of research processes with limited help. They took available opportunities to build capacity in the face of limited staff and high community demand. The findings suggest that rural health research is highly rewarding, distinguished by a generalist scope and basis of 'rural' socially accountable research that is done in small, isolated teams of limited resources. Strategies are needed to grow capacity to a level fit to address the level of community demand but these must embrace development of the rural academic entry pathway, the generalist breadth and social accountability of this field, which underpins the perceived value of rural health research for rural communities.

Experience of an interactive, autism-specific online professional development training and support programme delivered to regional and remote areas

ABSTRACT Training and support will be vital in developing and maintaining a skilled disability workforce in the roll-out of individualised disability funding across Australia. Technology has the potential to deliver training and support that is more accessible and cost-efficient in geographically isolated regions. The current qualitative study explored participants’ experience of an autism-specific webinar and individual online support programme delivered to a range of early childhood staff in regional and remote areas. Researchers used purposive sampling to select and interview 11 participants enrolled in the training and support programme. Rigour and trustworthiness of the data were enhanced using member checking and a data analysis check on 20% of the transcripts. Several categories of responses were identified under three broad themes; impact of the training programme, interaction with technology, and barriers to access. Findings indicated that the programme had a positive impact on access to autism-specific learning and support. The interactive nature of webinars and individual online consultations (synchronous learning) was highly valued; however, barriers including extensive travel and busy caseloads resulted in participants relying on recorded webinars (asynchronous learning). Findings from the current study will inform the development of future training programme at an individual, organisational and policy level.

Survey on early career travel support shows geographic, career stage, and indigenous status inequality in access to polar science events

Abstract. Scientific meetings, conferences, field schools and workshops provide essential networking and training opportunities for early career researchers, but in highly international fields like polar sciences, attending these events can involve extensive travel. We surveyed Association of Polar Early Career Scientists members and other early career members of the polar science community to investigate the geographic and international variability in travel support relative to costs across the early stages of a researcher's career (Masters students, PhD students, post-docs and those in faculty or permanent research positions). 190 respondents from 38 countries answered questions on the perceived availability of different types and sources of travel funding and described up to three events they attended over the last two years. We found that the cost of attendance prevented nearly three-quarters of respondents from participating in at least one career-relevant events in the preceding two years. Due to insufficient research funding, early career researchers frequently have to top up partial support with personal funds. Increased event-based travel support would help to reduce out of pocket expenses, as would the timely notification of a travel award to benefit from early bird registration and cheaper travel and accommodation. Replacing the more common practice of travel reimbursement with a travel advance would remove another barrier to attendance. Large disparities in what kinds of expenses are covered exist between geographic regions and funding mechanisms. Addressing the disparities in travel support for career-relevant events will promote diversity and foster inclusion in the next generation of polar scientists.

Virtual Embassy Portal: The Future of Travel

As the advent of travel continues to increase, tourism continues to expand, becoming the fastest growing economic activity globally. In order to travel internationally, one needs a passport and in many cases a visa is required. Currently, in order to apply for a visa, consumers have to complete and submit an application: online application completion and submission, visit a website to download the application form(s), physically visit an embassy/consulate, or utilize the services of a third party company to submit the application. Thereafter, there is a great chance the consumer might have to appear in person at the consulate/embassy for an in-person interview. There is a need to streamline the visa application process so that it is more efficient for both applicants as well as embassies.&#x0D; &#x0D; This paper aims to fill the gap by introducing the Virtual Embassy concept. This concept promises to bring all embassies to an applicant&amp;rsquo;s fingertip while making embassies more efficient in the process. The Virtual Embassy enables individuals to complete one application form which can be disseminated virtually to one or more consulate(s) of choice, without requiring extensive travel to embassies, or to manually complete multiple visa application forms.

Assessing the Feasibility of an Online Training Designed to Enable Community Health Workers to Deliver a Comprehensive, Evidence-Based Weight Loss Intervention for Rural African Americans of Faith.

Obesity is a critical modifiable risk factor in cancer prevention, control, and survivorship. Comprehensive weight loss interventions (e.g., Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)) have been recommended by governmental agencies to treat obesity. However, their high implementation costs limit their reach, especially in underserved African American (AA) communities. Community health workers (CHWs) or trusted community members can help increase access to obesity interventions in underserved regions facing provider shortages. CHW-led interventions have increased weight loss. However, in-person CHW training can be costly to deliver and often requires extensive travel to implement. Web-based trainings have become common to increase reach at reduced cost. However, the feasibility of an online CHW training to deliver the DPP in AAs is unknown. The feasibility of an online CHW training to deliver the DPP adapted for AAs was assessed. The online training was compared to an in-person DPP training with established effectiveness. CHW effectiveness and satisfaction were assessed at baseline and 6weeks. Nineteen participants (in-person n = 10; online n = 9) were recruited. At post-training, all scored higher than the 80% on a knowledge test required to deliver the intervention. All participants reported high levels of training satisfaction (88.9% of online participants and 90% of in-person participants rated the training as at least 6 on a 1-7 scale) and comfort to complete intervention tasks (78% of online participants and 60% of in-person participants scored at least 6 on a 1-7 scale). There were no significant differences in outcomes by arm. An online CHW training to deliver the DPP adapted for AAs faith communities produced comparable effectiveness and satisfaction to an evidence-based in-person CHW training. Further research is needed to assess the cost-effectiveness of different CHW training modalities to reduce obesity.

Re-evaluating polycentric urban structure: A functional linkage perspective

Polycentric urban development has become the buzzword among urban scholars, decision-makers, and planners around the world. From the existing polycentric urban research, a functional approach is increasingly concerned by scholars except for morphological terms. Functional linkages are investigated among the (sub)centers of a polycentric urban system (PUS). However, the (sub)centers are usually pre-defined by a city master plan or identified by a density-sliced approach. However, the definition of the (sub)centers is still dependent on the morphological dimensions rather than functional linkages. To fill the gaps, we proposed a flow-based solution for delineating functional urban regions (FURs). We first built a spatially-embedded network of the entire city within extensive travel flows and then used a community detection method to reveal FURs. The characteristics of the whole PUS and the properties of each FUR are further assessed using complex network analysis. Based on the taxi trajectories of Shanghai, this study shows that the subdivisions of FURs are not necessarily consistent with administrative divisions. The functional linkages are strong among the (sub)centers surrounding the main center, and they are relatively weak among the newly established (sub)centers in the periphery. These findings call for policy interventions to increase the functional linkages of (sub)centers.

Fashioning Inclusion, Designing Internationalism: Pierre Cardin at the Brooklyn Museum

ABSTRACTIn VAR’s new hybrid review–dialogue format, I talk with one of New York’s leading museum‐based fashion curators about his work on the Brooklyn Museum exhibition Pierre Cardin: Future Fashion (July 2019–January 2020). The exhibition celebrates Cardin’s role in the mid‐twentieth‐century “democratization” and “pluralization” of the European fashion system by pioneering a prêt‐à‐porter [ready‐to‐wear] collection, and spotlights his development of various strategies for licensing his designs, name, and initials to global partners. It also reveals a lesser‐known side of Cardin, showing his extensive travel and cultural advocacy for garment‐industry practitioners in China and Japan. In the dialogue, Yokobosky reflects on first meeting Cardin in Paris, remarks on producing the exhibit, and relays his perspective on why Cardin’s “inclusive futurist” design ontology might be important for us to consider at this present historical moment. The article points toward two potentially productive but understudied areas for future anthropological research: fashion museums and exhibitions as sites for the organization of knowledge about social history and public culture, and the culturally (re)productive work of fashion curators—one form of “designerly” agency nested within museum institutions.
