Twentieth Edition Research Articles

Preface

20th Anglo-French Physical Acoustics Conference (AFPAC 2023) FOREWORD After two successive postponements due to a well-known malicious virus, the twentieth AFPAC was organized in France in Fréjus at the Villa Clythia, from January 24 to 27, 2023. To celebrate this twentieth edition by something special to be remembered, a picnic on the beach followed by a magnificent walk in the Estérel massif were organized, in very favorable weather (as shown by the picture below).This year again, the bet was successful! During the five half-days of conferences, 33 oral presentations including four invited talks were given, on very varied themes, all in the area of physical acoustics.The four high quality invited talks concerned subjects as varied as “The cochlea seen as an active metamaterial” by Fabrice Lemoult, “Guided wave testing of pipelines” by Mike Lowe, “Miniature ultrasonic surgical devices for integration with surgical robots” by Margaret Lucas and “Ultrasound backscattering by aggregating red blood cells for hematopathology” by Émilie Franceschini. The number of questions at the end of each of the 33 presentations was only a reflection of their high quality, sparking interest and cross-disciplinary scientific discussions, entirely in line with what the AFAPC wishes to promote.The two Rocard 2022 prizes (prize of the Société Française d’Acoustique to distinguish promising young researchers after their PhD) were awarded to Xinxin Guo and Matthieu Malléjac during this edition.Alain Lhémery (CEA-LIST, France), Samuel Raetz (Le Mans Université, France), SFA / GAPSUS, Nader Saffari (UCL, UK), Theodosia Stratoudaki (University of Strathclyde, UK), IOP / PAG.

EDITORIAL

In its twentieth edition, Austral: Brazilian Journal of Strategy & International Relations celebrates its tenth anniversary. Initially, there is a balance of the activities of the Journal, consolidated with a focus on SouthSouth Academic Cooperation and an independent posture. Below is a sequence of four articles that analyse aspects of China’s global projection, two of which also include Russia, at a time when the Biden administration exerts even greater pressure on both countries than that of former President Trump. The next seven articles address Defence and International Security Studies, with texts that provide an academic review of Security Studies, Naval Power, export of defense products, the role of NATO, Obama’s policy towards the East Middle and North Africa and on the role of the UN in the fight against terrorism in West Africa. It ends with an additional updated text on the South African political crisis.

Efficacy of 5% Dextrose Water Injection for Peripheral Entrapment Neuropathy: A Narrative Review.

Current non-surgical treatment for peripheral entrapment neuropathy is considered insignificant and unsustainable; thus, it is essential to find an alternative novel treatment. The technique of perineural injection therapy using 5% dextrose water has been progressively used to treat many peripheral entrapment neuropathies and has been proven to have outstanding effects in a few high-quality studies. Currently, the twentieth edition of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine textbook recommends this novel injection therapy as an alternative local treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Hence, this novel approach has become the mainstream method for treating CTS, and other studies have revealed its clinical benefit for other peripheral entrapment neuropathies. In this narrative review, we aimed to provide an insight into this treatment method and summarize the current studies on cases of peripheral entrapment neuropathy treated by this method.

Notas teóricas sobre influenciadores digitais e Big Brother Brasil

O artigo tem como principal objetivo analisar a presença de influenciadores digitais no reality show Big Brother Brasil (TV Globo, 2020). A vigésima edição do programa contou com dois grupos de participantes: os convidados pela produção (Camarote) e os inscritos (Pipoca). Os influenciadores digitais fizeram parte dos brothers convidados e, por isso, neste trabalho, são analisados os discursos desses sujeitos a fim de desvelar as principais motivações para participar do programa. Como resultado, observou-se ênfase na busca por autenticidade, conferida pelo confinamento, e também exigida nas relações digitais com seus seguidores.

Ultraschall Berlin

In an industry where the brand new and the first performance are fixated upon, Ultraschall Berlin is to be applauded for being less interested in presenting a glut of premieres than in cultivating a twenty-first-century tradition. At this year's festival, its twentieth edition, only a quarter of the 69 works performed were world premieres, with just four of them commissioned by the two organisations presenting the festival, state broadcasters rbb and Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

La asignatura "Anatomía Funcional de la Voz". Veinte años de pedagogía de la voz en los estudios de Medicina de la Universidad de Barcelona

En este trabajo presento la asignatura optativa Anatomía Funcional de la Voz, que imparto en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Barcelona (España) desde el curso académico 1997/1998. Creé esta asignatura porque consideré que era necesario que los estudiantes de medicina tuvieran un conocimiento profundo de la voz normal para poder así comprender sus trastornos.
 La asignatura ha ido sufriendo a lo largo de los años cambios derivados de la entrada de las nuevas tecnologías y de los nuevos métodos docentes en la universidad. En la actualidad consta de nueve sesiones teóricas presenciales y se cierra el con un taller de Técnica Vocal de carácter voluntario.
 Los estudiantes realizan tres actividades individuales evaluables a través del Campus Virtual de la Universidad de Barcelona (plataforma Moodle). Las dos primeras son de autoobservación de la postura y de la respiración, y la tercera consiste en la creación de una base de datos de voces, habladas o cantadas (de dominio público). Asimismo, los estudiantes preparan en pequeños grupos un trabajo escrito sobre algún tema relacionado con la voz normal que sea de su interés, que les permite llevar a cabo una revisión y análisis de aspectos concretos de la voz.
 Creo que esta asignatura permite a los estudiantes adquirir una visión amplia y multidisciplinar de la voz. Tras haber llegado a su vigésima edición, estoy muy satisfecha de los resultados, no sólo académicos, que siempre son de gran calidad, sino también por la buena acogida que siempre tiene entre el alumnado.

The Tower of Babble: Mother Tongue and Multilingualism in India

E-SERVICES IN BUSINESS MODELS OF ENTERPRISES IN THE LOGISTICS SECTOR

Most of the available papers on the logistics sector identify the type of the business model with the type of logistics service providers, distinguishing between three to five business models. These models most often focus, almost exclusively on the complexity of the logistical services and their scope. The more complex a logistic service is, the more benefits it brings to the company. This is a result of the increase in added value and key competences, and a decrease in the intensity of resources usage. Expanding logistics services to include e-services significantly improves the position of a company in the so-called pyramid of logistics services. The purpose of this article is to identify the use of e-services among the enterprises of the logistics sector and to examine the impact of the use of e-services on the quality of the business model. The realization of the objective was possible thanks to a study carried out among the logistics sector companies that participated in the twentieth edition of the Polish ranking of enterprises in the logistics sector. The analysis of the data from the concluded study was conducted with the use of the methods of multivariate statistical analysis: cluster analysis and correspondence analysis. The carried out study of selected companies of the logistics sector leads to the conclusion that the use of e-services in their offer has a positive effect on the quality of the business model. Offering e-services adds value for the customer, as well as the value for the company, as evidenced by the improved financial condition of enterprises that use e-logistics.

Saving Silence, and: Napoleon Vu Par Abel Gance, and: Kurutta Ippeiji: A Page of Madness

SAVING SILENCE/Jesse Lee Kercheval "In an astonishingly short time—1895 to 1927, little more than thirty years—the silent cinema evolved into a unique, integral and highly sophisticated expressive form, and then, overnight, became extinct." —David Robinson, Foreword to Silent Cinema, An Introduction Isn't that the way of things— where is Carthage now, the Dodo? In archives in America, Japan and Russia there are as many feet of nitrate film dissolving as there are bones in the catacombs of Paris. Of one hundred and fifty thousand sUent films, eighty percent are as lost to us as the dust to which our grandparents returned. So why do I care? Because my mother was deaf, because I am tired after years of talk-talk-talk-talking. Because as a chUd, I once rode the elevator to the top of the EuTeI Tower where, Uke God, I looked down and saw the whole world at my feet— rendered not motionless, but sUent. 152 · The Missouri Review NAPOLEON VU PAR ABEL GANCE/ Jesse Lee Kercheval Impossible Is Not French, says Napoleon in Gance's epic sUent film. He shouts it to the gunners retreating from Engtish fire at Toulon. A mere Ueutenant, who has only just arrived from Paris, he makes the men roU their cannon back into the muddy night and nails a sign above his new postLa Batterie des Hommes sans Peur. I was born in France, but I am fuU of fear. For my chüdren who walk around with only pink skin for protection, for the whole blue world, watery as a tear. I was never an optimist but each year more seems impossible. I am forty-five. Napoleon was twenty-four when he took Toulon in a blinding storm with only the hau beating the snares of his faUen drummers to urge his ragged soldiers on. I want to post a sign of my own. This is The House without Fear, we Uve here, we French, The Missouri Review · 153 and honorary French. In a time when the emperor was young still pronounced his name Nappy-yone-eye, Uke a good Corsican, more Itatian than French. Still, looking at him, no one dared to laugh. Or at least, that is how Abel Gance saw his Napoleon. Abel Gance, maker of this six-hour sUent movie with its three-screen finale tinted blue/white/red to match the French tricolor. Abel Gance, un homme sans peur, a man who beUeved anything—everything— possible. 154 · The Missouri Review Jesse Lee Kercheval KURUTTA IPPEIJI: A PAGE OF MADNESS/Jesse Lee Kercheval "This experimental silent film was thought lost for fifty years until the director, Teinosuke Kinugasa, rediscovered it in his garden shed." —Le Giornate del Cinema Muto catalog, twentieth edition An old man takes a job as a janitor at an asylum to be near his wife, who failed to drown herself after drowning their infant son— tiny squalling bundle. This is Japan. The year 1926. His wife lies on the floor of her cell on her futon. Her kimono disordered— her hair a disgrace. Her arms rise from her sides as she sleeps, her hands open, begging for forgiveness. Or is she dreaming of the moment she let her chUd go? In the next cell, a young woman dances day and night without stopping, leaving bare bloody footprints across the concrete floor. She is a goddess, but only she knows it. If the old man asked her— she would give him back his son. But the old man sees only a mad girl who once—he's been told— The Missouri Review · 155 danced the May Dance for Crown Prince Hirohito, then found she couldn't stop. The old man unlocks his wife's ceU with a key he has stolen from the desk of the director, in his other hand are sweets. Their daughter, he teUs her, their only daughter, has met a young man who's asked her to marry, to move north with him to his home in far Hokkaido, that wUd frontier island. When asked, their daughter told this young man her mother died giving birth to a stUlborn baby brother. She understands clearly if...

The NP-completeness column: An ongoing guide

This is the twentieth edition of a (usually) quarterly column that covers new developments in the theory of NP-completeness. The presentation is modeled on that used by M. R. Garey and myself in our book “Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,” W. H. Freeman & Co., New York, 1979 (hereinafter referred to as “[G&J]”; previous columns will be referred to by their dates). A background equivalent to that provided by [G&J] is assumed, and, when appropriate, cross-references will be given to that book and the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented there. Readers who have results they would like mentioned (NP-hardness, PSPACE-hardness, polynomial-time-solvability, etc.) or open problems they would like publicized, should send them to David S. Johnson, Room 2D-150, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ 07974 (or to dsj%btl.csnet@relay.cs.net). Please include details, or at least sketches, of any new proofs; full papers are preferred. If the results are unpublished, please state explicitly that you are willing for them to be mentioned. Comments and corrections are also welcome. For more details, see the December 1981 issue of this Journal.

Russell on Arbitration (Twentieth Edition) by Anthony Walton QC and Mary Vitoria, Barrister

Russell on Arbitration, Twentieth Edition, by Anthony Walton QC and Mary Vitoria, Barrister (London, Stevens & Sons, 1982, viii and 602 pp:, inclusive Statutes, New York Convention 1958, RSC, Forms and Index ). Hardback £51. Russell is a hallowed text. None is more familiar to the English and Commonwealth commercial practitioner. It has reposed on the bookshelves of lawyers and nestled in the grasp of counsel for some 136 years. The first edition, by the initial author whose name the text carries, appeared in 1849 and since its launch there has followed a regular stream of new editions, no doubt reflecting both the popularity of Russell and the importance of the subject with which it is concerned. It is now in its twentieth edition and under the senior editorship of Anthony Walton, QC, who has been associated with Russell since 1957, and is now for the first time assisted by Dr Mary Vitoria. In the UK (but less so in Scotland) and many of the common law jurisdictions Russell is synonymous with the institution of arbitration, at least from the legal perspective. It is teacher to the apprentice, aid to the lawyer, friend to the advocate and endorsing authority for the judge. It has been so frequently cited in the judgments of the judiciary that one is readily led to speculate that it is probable that no text has been more frequently cited and adopted by the English judiciary, and this is all the more remarkable when the reluctance of the English judiciary even to acknowledge secondary authority is recalled. But the legal profession is not the sole beneficiary. The benefits have extended more broadly into arbitral practice and no arbitrator worth his salt can be unaware of the counsel to be gained from a perusal of Russell . Against this historical background and establishment acceptance a reviewer of Russell tends to approach the task with awe. But if there is cause, and regrettably there is, the courage must be mustered to …
