Background: Serious adverse events (SAEs) are common in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Reporting of SAEs in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) varies why underreporting is likely. We aim to describe the reporting of SAEs from 2020 onwards and to illustrate the recent reporting of SAEs published in major medical journals. Methods: We will conduct a methodological study assessing pharmacological interventions in RCTs including adult ICU patients. We will search 10 general medical and critical care journals in PubMed. We will include all RCTs published from 2020 onwards. The primary research question is how many RCTs report SAEs in the primary publication. Secondary research questions include how SAEs are reported in the primary publication either as (1) proportion of patients experiencing one or more SAE, (2) all single events occurred, or (3) both strategies combined. We will assess the association between the proportion of patients with reported SAEs and the following trial characteristics: multicentred versus single‐centre RCTs, industry‐sponsored versus academic‐sponsored, published trial protocol versus unpublished work, blinding, trials sample size, and RCTs focusing on COVID‐19 patients versus other populations. Discussion: The outlined methodological study will provide important information on the reporting of SAEs in recent drug trials in adult ICU patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Nepal established the health partner coordination for COVID-19 response based on national and international plans and framework to support information-sharing for decision- making and course correction. This paper aims to assess the performance of COVID-19 Health Partner Coordination response in Nepal by adopting coordination best practices and tools from the international humanitarian cluster system. Methods: Secondary data from unpublished documents on health partner coordination for COVID-19 response in Nepal was collected and analysed from April 2023 to May 2023. The secondary data were from the review of the health partner coordination meetings conducted for COVID-19 response using a researcher-developed document review tool, responses of health partners on a survey tool adapted from the cluster coordination performance monitoring tool from the Global Health Cluster, and transcript of Focused Group Discussion among health partners. Descriptive analysis of quantitative information and thematic analysis with predefined themes of qualitative information were performed using MS Excel and MS Word respectively. A written approval from the Ministry of Health and Population and an ethical clearance from the Nepal Health Research Council was obtained before conducting the study. Results: More than three-fifths of the meetings showed good results in conduction, process, participation, and documentation of meeting action points with improvement required for follow-up (22.2%). Assessment of health partner coordination subfunctions resulted in either 'good' (>75.0%) or 'satisfactory' (50.1%-75.0%) except for prioritization based on analyses, which was 'unsatisfactory' (<50%). Partners admired good practices of health partner coordination, pointed out some issues, and provided recommendations. Conclusion: COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of effective coordination of health sector for response to a pandemic. Continuation of this practice after addressing the areas for improvement will contribute to health preparedness and readiness for future disasters or public health emergencies.

\Theta is the least ordinal \alpha with the property that there is no surjection f:\mathbb {R}\rightarrow \alpha. {\mathsf {AD}}_{\mathbb {R}} is the Axiom of Determinacy for games played on the reals. It asserts that every game of length \omega of perfect information in which players take turns to play reals is determined. An ideal \mathcal {I} on \omega _1 is \omega _1-dense if the boolean algebra {\wp }(\omega _1)/ \mathcal {I} has a dense subset of size \omega _1. We consider the theories, where \mathsf {CH} stands for the Continuum Hypothesis, \begin{gather*} \mathsf {ZFC} + \mathsf {CH} + \text {"There is an \omega _1-dense ideal on \omega _1.''}\\ \mathsf {ZF}+{\mathsf {AD}}_{\mathbb {R}} + \text {"\Theta is a regular cardinal.''}\end{gather*} The main result of this paper is that the first theory given above implies the existence of a class model of the second theory given above. Woodin, in unpublished work, showed that the consistency of the second equation given above implies the consistency of the first equation given above. We will also give a proof of this result, which, together with our main theorem, establish the equiconsistency of both the equations given above. As a consequence, this resolves part of question 12 of W. Hugh Woodin [ The axiom of determinacy, forcing axioms, and the nonstationary ideal , Walter de Gruyter & Co., Berlin, 1999], in particular, it shows that the theories (b) and (c) in question 12 of W. Hugh Woodin [ The axiom of determinacy, forcing axioms, and the nonstationary ideal , Walter de Gruyter & Co., Berlin, 1999] are equiconsistent. Thus, our work completes the work that was started by Woodin and Ketchersid in [ Toward AD(\mathbb {R}) from the continuum hypothesis and an \omega _1-dense ideal , ProQuest LLC, Ann Arbor, MI, 2000] some 25 years ago. We also establish other theorems of similar nature in this paper, showing the equiconsistency of the second equation given above and the statement that the non-stationary ideal on {\wp }_{\omega _1}(\mathbb {R}) is strong and pseudo-homogeneous. The aforementioned results are the only known equiconsistency results at the level of \mathsf {AD}_{\mathbb {R}} + \text {"Θ is a regular cardinal.''} [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The book "Heidegger and Psychiatry" is a monograph that examines the influence of Heidegger on psychiatry. It is divided into two parts: a documentary part, which includes unpublished correspondence between Heidegger and Dr. Biswanger, and a series of research papers written by different specialists. The first part highlights the figure of Ludwig Biswanger, a psychiatrist influenced by Husserl's phenomenology and Heidegger's work. The second part explores interpretations of Heidegger and psychiatry, focusing on his influence on psychotherapy. The book presents contributions on the influence of Heidegger's philosophy on psychiatry, addressing topics such as affectivity, emotional trauma, temporal and historical dynamism, and the development of corporeality. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of publishing unpublished works and being open to new interpretations and research in the field of psychiatry. This book represents an opportunity to explore the philosophy of psychiatry by other philosophers in the future. [Extracted from the article]

Taraba State, located in the north-eastern part of Nigeria harbours some of the hyper endemic onchocerciasis sites in the country. The distribution of simuliids larvae along the river contiguous with these sites has been documented but unpublished. Larval sampling was conducted along the tributaries adjoining the hyper-endemic focus in Gashaka Local Government Area of Taraba State, between December 2006 and January 2007. This study therefore presents the distribution of simuliid species and physico-chemical parameters of the breeding sites along the tributaries of the endemic foci in Gashaka LGA of Taraba State. The physico-chemical parameters of breeding sites were measured using standardized equipment, and larvae of various Simulium species were collected, fixed in Carnoy's solution and subsequently identified in the laboratory. Eleven tributaries were examined, with only 3(25.0%) serving as breeding sites during the collection period. A total of 552 simuliids larvae were identified; Simulium damnosum, 490 (86.96%); S. medusaeforme hargreavesi, 51(9.24%); S. colas belcouri, 11(1.99%); S. vorax, 7(1.27%) and S. bovis, 3(0.54%). S. damnosum were the most predominant, collected from all breeding sites, with 95.95% (284/296) in Ngam Ngam, 100% (90/90) in Kam, and 63.86% (106/166) in Mayo Selbe. The physico-chemical parameters of the tributaries range from 6.6-6.9 for pH, 45-82µs/cm for conductivity, 140-157m/s for water velocity, 20-22oC for temperature, 146-246m for river width, 185-455m for altitude and clear turbidity across the sampling sites. Larvae of S. damnosum, S. medusaeforme, S. colas, S. vorax, and S. bovis had strong positive correlations (r2 = 0.5-1.0) with pH and altitude parameters of breeding sites. This study provides baseline data on the identity and abundance of simuliid larvae, which are useful for comparative assessments with recent entomological surveys across breeding sites in the focus.

Dinomyidae is a South American group of caviomorph rodents with a single extant species (Dinomys branickii), but with a rich fossil record including medium-sized to giant species, which reached its peak diversity during the Late Miocene. The dinomyids from the Cerro Azul Formation (late Middle Miocene to Early Pliocene) have been studied in detail from localities in La Pampa Province, Argentina. In this contribution, dinomyids from Chasicoan Stage/Age (Late Miocene) levels of the Cerro Azul Formation at Arroyo Chasicó locality (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina) are revised, including previously published material and unpublished ones. We confirm the presence of Tetrastylus sp. Diaphoromys gamayensis, and define two new taxa, Bondesiomys chasiquensis gen. et sp. nov. and Gyriabrus sokka sp. nov. The diversity of dinomyids from the Cerro Azul Formation at Arroyo Chasicó is higher than other Chasicoan faunas at the same latitude, identified in localities of La Pampa Province, since in Cerro Patagua there are not Dinomyidae records and in Cerro la Bota Tetrastylus sp. and Dinomyidae indet. were the only recorded taxa.

This article explores the essential role of love in our lives and the consequences of neglecting it. It investigates how love shapes our experiences during severe social catastrophes, such as war. Drawing from personal anecdotes, a vignette involving a client, and insights from Victoria Kmetik's unpublished work, How Else?, along with other literary sources, the author illustrates the profound impact of love. The article leverages insights provided by analytical psychology to enhance our understanding of love's characteristics and its practical significance during times of crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the work on the personal documentary collection of the architect José Vial Armstrong (1926-1983), part of the founding group of the School of Architecture of Valparaíso. This was based on identifying, reviewing, organizing, and classifying almost a thousand unpublished theoretical documents, providing new insights into his individual work and role within the group. Considering the proposal to revisit the sources of modern architecture, according to Panayotis Tournikiotis (2014), this article aims to demonstrate how the study of Vial’s documentary collection would make the author visible in the historiography of modern architecture in Chile, as well as to understand the role of the architect within the School to which he belonged, and, therefore, to review new information about this institution.

Background: This protocol outlines a scoping review with the objective of identifying and exploring planetary health considerations within existing health guidelines and health technology assessments (HTA). The insights gained from this review will serve as a basis for shaping future Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) guidance on planetary health. Methods: We will adhere to the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. We will conduct a comprehensive search and screening of results in all languages across various databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Global Health, Health Systems Evidence, Greenfile, and Environmental Issues. Additionally, we will supplement this search with resources such as the GIN library, BIGG database, Epistemonikos, GRADE guidelines repository, GRADEpro Guideline Development Tool Database, MAGICapp, NICE website, WHO websites, and a manual exploration of unpublished relevant documents using Google incognito mode. Two independent reviewers will screen and assess the full texts of identified documents according to the eligibility criteria. The following information from each full text will be extracted: document title; first author's name; publication year; language; document type; document as a guideline or HTA; the topic/discipline; document purpose/study objective; developing/sponsoring organization; the country in which the study/guideline/HTA report was conducted; definition of planetary health or related concept provided; types of planetary health experts engaged; study methods; suggested methods to assess planetary health; use of secondary data on planetary health outcomes; description for use of life cycle assessment; description for assessing the quality of life cycle; population/intended audience; interventions; category; applicable planetary health boundaries; consideration of social justice/global equity; phase of intervention in life cycle related to planetary health addressed; the measure of planetary health impact; impact on biodiversity/land use; one health/animal welfare mention; funding; and conflict of interest. Data analysis will involve a combination of descriptive statistics and directed content analysis, with results presented in a narrative format and displayed in tables and graphs. Discussion: The final review results will be submitted to open-access peer-reviewed journals for publication when they become available. The research findings will also be disseminated at relevant planetary health conferences and workshops. Systematic review registration: Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/3jmsa).

This article presents a unique chapter in the history of Romanian-Dutch relations. During the 19th century, the hinterland at the mouth of the Danube was an important centre for the supply of grain to European warehouses, and from the 1880s onwards, international trading houses became increasingly interested in placing the main commodity of Moldo-Wallachian production structures on the markets of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Due to its entrepreneurial and infrastructural connections with Germany, the port of Rotterdam became a transit and temporary storage point for grain dedicated to the Rhine-Ruhr industrial region. This study is based on unpublished documents from archives, databases, and statistical yearbooks in the Netherlands and Romania. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the extermination process of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire in the World War I, there were two related, but dynamically different forms of violence at work. The first of these can be termed "top-down" violence, in the form of government policies put into practice by the ruling Union and Progress Party through the decisions of its Central Committee. The other form, "bottom-up" violence, was perpetrated by local forces who took advantage of the possibilities and opportunities created by wartime conditions and central government decisions. The target of both types was the population of Ottoman Christians, and the Armenians, first and foremost. The origins of the "top-down" violence are to be found in the century of "accumulated experience" of the Ottoman regime in dealing with various Christian populations within its European territories and their demands for greater economic, social, and political rights, as well as the Great Power intervention on their behalf. Against this background, the Armenian genocide can be seen as a "preventive measure". Its main purpose was the search for "permanent security", and in this sense the article acts as a case study based on the theses found in Dirk Moses' book The Problems of Genocide. As for the phenomenon of "bottom-up" violence, the article also presents a number of previously unpublished documents that give hints as to the role played by different groups—especially the Kurds in the Armenian genocide.

The article "Fulfilling the scope of interdisciplinarity" highlights the Multitemas Journal, which presents twelve new unpublished works with significant scientific themes. The articles address issues such as obesity, public accounting, actions with elderly quilombola people, linguistic multimodalities, covid-19, mental disorders, environmental education, linguistic prejudice, community-based tourism, food waste, communication in science, and the influence of Instagram on food. Interdisciplinarity is valued to promote debate and the construction of knowledge in various areas. [Extracted from the article]

The main objective of this article is to present the current state of the editorial project Ellacuría: Obras completas. For this purpose, we have reconstructed the different stages of the process: 1) registration and classification of the documents, 2) transcription and elaboration of the technical file, 3) chronological arrangement and composition of the volumes, and, finally, 4) critical edition and composition of the volumes. We believe that the work carried out can help to outline a global image of Ellacuría's heterogeneous and fragmentary work, as well as some of its main difficulties: very restricted access to a work that has had a very local circulation, a large number of unpublished documents, undated or signed under a pseudonym, etc. For all these reasons, we consider it necessary to produce the first critical edition of the complete works of Ignacio Ellacuría, in order to facilitate access both to specialists and to the general public of one of the most relevant authors of contemporary Latin American philosophy.

Holly Ordway's "Tolkien's Faith: A Spiritual Biography" delves into the profound influence of J.R.R. Tolkien's devout Catholicism on his literary creations, offering a meticulous exploration of his spiritual journey. The biography provides a balanced and scholarly examination of how Tolkien's faith shaped his creativity, drawing on lesser-known aspects of his life and connecting them to the moral fabric of his characters. Through a detailed analysis of biblical themes in Tolkien's work and the visual context provided by curated photographs, Ordway's work enriches our understanding of the man behind the beloved stories of Middle-earth, inviting readers to reconsider Tolkien as a complex individual whose faith deeply influenced his creative output.

This research explores the factors contributing to information sensitivity in debt markets, focusing on the potential influences of uncertainty, economic performance, and journalist-dependent language. Building upon the foundational work of Dang et al. (Ignorance, debt and financial crises. Yale University Unpublished Working Paper, 2018), we analyze the mechanisms underlying the transition from information-insensitive to information-sensitive states—a shift with implications for potential financial crises. Leveraging machine learning techniques and daily data on variables such as default probability, information acquisition, and newspaper articles, we discern specific narrative triggers embedded within the news. Our analysis underscores the pivotal role of economic states and journalist language in inducing information sensitivity—a phenomenon intricately tied to different psychological thinking processes.

What can we learn about unpublished literature—and literature as such—by studying rejected literature? Each of the article's four sections connects an archival document or set of documents to a topic in literary history and theory. In the first, a ledger tracking submissions to Charles Scribner's Sons in 1882 leads to a discussion about recovery projects. In the second, a century of Houghton Mifflin reader reports leads to a discussion about evaluation. In the third, a novel submitted to Sylvia Beach at Shakespeare and Company in 1930 leads to a discussion about historical counterfactuals. In the fourth, correspondence from the archives of Amiri Baraka and his agent, Ronald Hobbs, from the 1970s leads to a discussion about taste. Together, these sections introduce a resource and exemplify a method: how attention to small, practical decisions can illuminate large, abstract processes. By attending to editorial debates about poetry, we can understand what artistic value meant to specific people in specific contexts—and thus what it might mean in general. Poetry, in other words, promises to illuminate what's literary about literary history. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay examines two peculiar examples of the unpublished from two eccentric authors: Joe Gould's fragmentary Oral History (probably commenced in the 1910s) and Arthur Inman's Diary (the 17 million words of which run from the 1920s to Inman's death in 1963). Neither of these works can be fully published in any conventional way, and the essay examines the reasons why, looking at the history and myths surrounding Gould's supposedly multimillion-word narrative, the paucity of extant parts of it, and how its nature and nonappearance have been interpreted by Joseph Mitchell and Jill Lepore, amongst others. This contrasts with the all-too-abundant size of the Diary of Inman, a wealthy valetudinarian whose voluminous writings describe in minute detail his prejudices and absurdities, as well as the stories of the many people he paid to be part of his dysfunctional household and to entertain him. The difficulties raised by trying to publish this strange, vast document are discussed through the example of the substantial selection of it, edited by Daniel Aaron (1985). Concluding considerations include the wider questions raised by these sui generis works, particularly the ways in which they resist traditional critical and editorial categorization. Both texts are impossible to publish in full... and possess an odd, fragmentary, but delusive allure as a result: the larger idea of their unpublished works is more interesting than the reality of reading them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unpublished texts come in many forms: rejected submissions, lost manuscripts, unfinished, sometimes fabled, books. Our present moment, in which archival practices have made unpublished material widely accessible and the internet has frayed the binary un/published distinction, offers a perspective from which to view the unpublished within US literary history. Attending to the various circumstances in which writing went unpublished draws out the contingencies and inequities of publication and the transgressive allure of writing that, in one way or another, was not supposed to be read. F. Scott's Fitzgerald's lost short stories gain value from at first being rejected; Claude McKay's novel was lost to the structural racism that thwarted the careers of mid–twentieth-century Black writers; and Eileen Myles' various lost poems and notebooks suggest, perhaps, a casualization of attitudes toward getting work published. An awareness of the unpublished structures and illuminates our engagement with published writing. It is now possible to see the rigid un/published binary in its historical moment.... From this vantage, writers and practices that broke from that binary stand out, as do the time-bound value systems that reinforced it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rejections are a given in any poet's career. This essay considers how rejections and the idea of the unpublished fragment might shape poetic form, how practical decisions might turn into aesthetic ones. Both Hart Crane and Jack Spicer had careers among magazines, the experiments of their writing entwined with ephemeral publishing cultures and communities. This essay explores how, through their own distinct experiments with splintered forms of the long poem, magazine rejections also created opportunities in Crane's and Spicer's poetry. Both poets turned practical processes into aesthetic experiments, exploring the states between writing, submission, publication, and acceptance or rejection. Yet practical decisions can turn into aesthetic ones. Indeed, the playful tension between practicality and aesthetics sits at the heart of poetic form. Crane and Spicer both incorporated rejections—unpublished poems or poems waiting on publication through various submissions—into the form of their work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article critiques an 1897 unpublished book about African American poetry "The Grievances of the Books" by Alice Dunbar-Nelson. Topics include the citation of several antebellum verses in the unfinished work, why critics considered it as an unassuming document, the significance of the work to author Elizabeth McHenry's call for print culture studies to expand further to include those components of African American literary history and the inclusion in the book of forgotten antislavery poems.

Background: The transition from childhood to adolescence is associated with an increase in rates of some psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder, a debilitating mood disorder. The aim of this systematic review is to update the evidence on the benefits and harms of screening for depression in primary care and non-mental health clinic settings among children and adolescents. Methods: This review is an update of a previous systematic review, for which the last search was conducted in 2017. We searched Ovid MEDLINE® ALL, Embase Classic+Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and CINAHL on November 4, 2019, and updated on February 19, 2021. If no randomized controlled trials were found, we planned to conduct an additional search for non-randomized trials with a comparator group. For non-randomized trials, we applied a non-randomized controlled trial filter and searched the same databases except for Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from January 2015 to February 2021. We also conducted a targeted search of the gray literature for unpublished documents. Title and abstract, and full-text screening were completed independently by pairs of reviewers. Results: In this review update, we were unable to find any randomized controlled studies that satisfied our eligibility criteria and evaluated the potential benefits and harms of screening for depression in children and adolescents. Additionally, a search for non-randomized trials yielded no studies that met the inclusion criteria. Conclusions: The findings of this review indicate a lack of available evidence regarding the potential benefits and harms of screening for depression in children and adolescents. This absence of evidence emphasizes the necessity for well-conducted clinical trials to evaluate the effectiveness of depression screening among children and adolescents in primary care and non-mental health clinic settings.

This paper discusses historical sources that testify to Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini's contacts with present Slovenian territory. He already became well acquainted with the area in his role as secretary to Emperor Frederick III, then especially as Bishop of Trieste in 1447-1450, and finally as Pope Pius II, who confirmed the establishment of the Ljubljana diocese in 1463. The research focuses mainly on the period of his episcopacy in Trieste and investigates several new, hitherto unpublished documents (letters, documents) from this period. These shed new lights on his pastoral activity and question some of the long-accepted narratives of Slovenian historiography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents an interview with the writer Albalucía Ángel, in which she talks about her presence at the Bogotá Book Fair and the reception of her work in the Colombian literary world. Despite institutional resistance, her work continues to be recognized and circulates in a limited way. Her relationship with Marta Traba and other people who were part of her personal and professional network is also mentioned. In addition, Albalucía's experience in the publication of her novels "Dos veces Alicia" and "La pájara pinta" is narrated, as well as her participation in events and interviews in different places. Although her most recent work remains unpublished, she has received recognition and tributes in Colombia. [Extracted from the article]

Like many Hispanic cities, the origin of Belchite has so far been approached from an exclusively documentary perspective, which in our case dates, uncertainly, between the 8th and 9th centuries, the settlement of a Berber group next to the old Roman canals. from the Almonacid dam. Our archaeological interventions in 2022 and 2023, through the study of surface material, a survey in Plaza del Salvador, and the analysis of unpublished materials, lead us to propose new lines of work, such as the Hispano-Roman origin of the town, the peripheral location of the Salvador neighborhood in the Medieval Belchite, and the confirmation of the establishment of San Roque as a Mudéjar neighborhood. The identification of two structures of great interest for the urban debate is also provided, such as the location of the castle and the main synagogue of the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The teachers of the Movimiento Cooperativo de Escuela Popular (MCEP) used cooperation to achieve a pedagogical renewal of the school that, over the time, would lead to a transformation of society. Consequently, the cooperation was present in the daily life of the MCEP and was applied transversally. Thus, the MCEP was structured cooperatively, organized frequent coordination meetings, held annual conferences and other events, and worked hand in hand with other Movimientos de Renovación Pedagógica (MRPs), the community, neighborhood associations, and related groups, organizations, and social movements interested in the popular school project. At times, the MCEP also collaborated with the Administration. More intimate or more heterogeneous, the cooperation spaces stimulated the political participation of the MCEP and, in general, made it possible to build an emancipatory school and outline revolutionary alternatives that gave rise to a different school and society. This article dialogues with the different scenarios of cooperation in which the MCEP participated during the period 1970-1990 and proposes two things: (1) delve into the idea of cooperation that the MCEP managed and analyze the impact it had on the popular school project; and (2) identify the political debates that arose within the MCEP regarding the educational reforms, as well as list the different alternatives that were formulated to respond to specific questions related to the educational reforms. The main bibliographical source has been the bulletin Colaboración. Likewise, other original and unpublished materials from the MCEP internal archive have been consulted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study provides new unpublished documents on clandestine insurgent poetry in New Spain, specifically in Puebla de los Angeles (1810-1812). The social crisis caused by the Napoleonic Invasion generated a series of very diverse billboards, cards and texts that, although not necessarily based on demonstrable sources, evidenced the need to incorporate anonymous voices and thoughts into dramatic events that threatened faith and the catholic monarchy. These criticisms, from the action of the vital axis of New Spain in defense of the Catholic monarchy, have been somewhat forgotten due to the difficulty of locating and accessing primary sources that:, as in this study, bring us closer to these expressions in order to analyse and insert these voices in the social processes of their context. In all of this, the need to legitimize its own identity --political and religious-- within the Catholic monarchy on that side of the Atlantic is observed, which clandestinely took verses as a spearhead and cultural expression in the face of the drama of an incipient Civil War.

This essay examines the metamorphic nature of Franz Kafka's writing. I focus in particular on the unpublished manuscripts Kafka left behind, which reveal the structural instability of his texts and the stories they tell. These stories were malleable and adaptive, meaning they changed depending on the writing environment and the materials Kafka used to compose his texts. Max Brod's influential edition of Kafka's manuscripts, however, literally erased Kafka's metamorphic writing style and replaced it with a canonical body of work authorized by "Kafka." This "Kafka," I demonstrate in this essay, is a chimera invented by Brod. Instead of a stable origin or final authority, "Kafka" is better understood, I argue, as shorthand for the long adaptation history, started by Brod himself, of the unpublished metamorphic texts Kafka left behind. In order to illustrate that Kafka's texts are always already a product of their own adaptation history, the essay studies the opening paragraph of The Castle (1926) through the lens of a dozen visual adaptations of this text. The essay is dedicated to a close reading of Olivier Deprez's magnificent adaptation Le Château. D'après Franz Kafka (1999). Overall, I make three interconnected arguments. First, that adaptations are essential to "Kafka," not derivative or secondary in any sense. Second, that visual adaptations in particular echo and expose the metamorphic nature of Kafka's own writings. Finally, that Kafka adaptations are highly media specific, and that the study of medium-specificity must remain an integral part of Adaptation Studies as an academic field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Venezuela, Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus) have declined mainly due to habitat loss and degradation, but other threats to the species persist. The objective of this work was to investigate the manatee distribution and conservation issues in Maracaibo Lake, Venezuela. Aiming to collect evidence on manatee presence, we conducted 404.14 hours of boat-based surveys and observations from the shore during 2003, 2004, 2009, and 2010. Environmental parameters were collected in areas where manatees were observed including pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, transparency, and depth. Also, we recorded plants or algae that could serve as potential food for manatees. We developed 96 informal and opportunistic talks with local fishermen, to gather information about manatee occurrence, boat traffic, and people’s perception of the species. Finally, we reviewed published and unpublished documents containing information on manatees in Maracaibo Lake. The resulting database contains information on 39 sightings and 13 reports of dead manatees. The known causes of death were poaching, vandalism, boat collision, and entanglement in fishing nets. The Maracaibo Lake offers many suitable habitats for manatees, but also faces a wide array of conservation problems that represent critical threats to this endangered subspecies. Long-term monitoring of this population and potential sources of mortality is highly needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, Christian Morgner provides a critical reading of Niklas Luhmann's thinking as ignoring human beings or even as antihumanist. Here, he presents an alternative view that centers on Luhmann's idea of the child or human being as a medium. To explain Luhmann's use of these ideas to conceptualize the child and the consequences for research, Morgner refers to the translation of Luhmann's paper "The Child as the Medium of Education" and to as yet unpublished material from his famous card‐box reference system. Drawing on these materials, Morgner can more clearly illuminate Luhmann's novel perspective and how it could inform further theoretical development, supported by new analysis of existing research in other fields, including developmental psychology, education, philosophy, and sociology. He concludes that, far from neglecting the human, Luhmann's theory takes human being very seriously and acknowledges its key role as a form‐giving medium in addressing the challenges faced by contemporary society. This renewed perspective should be of particular interest to educational theorists, enabling them to more freely apply his ideas in various settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The text discusses three books by G. Thomas Tanselle: "Books in My Life," "Descriptive Bibliography," and "A Sample Bibliographical Description with Commentary." "Books in My Life" explores the personal and emotional connections that Tanselle has with books, while "Descriptive Bibliography" and "A Sample Bibliographical Description with Commentary" serve as foundational textbooks for learning descriptive bibliography. The books contain reprinted articles and presentations, as well as previously unpublished material. The text also highlights the mentorship network that supported Tanselle's publications and raises questions about the lack of diversity in the scholarly foundations of his work.

In the drafting of the section on other acts of worship, and sacred places and times in the current Code, it was necessary to define and distinguish between canon and liturgical law in order to decide which canons were to be retained and which might be rewritten into the new text of the CIC. This paper explores the documents that deal with this subject, already known due to the publication of the proceedings, and presents fragments of other, previously unpublished documents, from the ‘minutes’ of the process stored in the archive of the Dicastery for Legislative Texts.

In this essay, we conduct an anthropophagic framing of Robert Cooper's insights on social systems in order to illuminate issues of epistemic justice within the realm of Organization and Management Studies (OMS). By delving into Cooper's previously unpublished works, first published in this issue of ephemera, namely 'Notes on organizational kitsch' and 'On closed and open systems', we read his work through a decolonial lens that aims at promoting epistemological justice. Anthropophagy, a conceptual practice rooted in Brazilian thought, embraces irreverent and radical hybridization as a means of deconstructing Western dominance in various fields (including academia). While Cooper's insights touch upon the notion of closed social systems or what he terms 'totalitarian kitsch', which tend to perpetuate the status quo in academic disciplines, an anthropophagic reinterpretation prompts critical questioning of how these ideas intersect with promoting epistemic justice. First, through the lens of anthropophagy, OMS becomes an open system where the concept of Otherness assumes a pivotal role, both structurally and ethically. Second, the process of reclaiming the position and role of the Other involves dismantling restrictive Western cultural elements grounded in 'fictional' or 'authoritative' foundations (kitsch) that underpin closed systems. Lastly, the ongoing practice of 'anthropophagy' involving concepts, value systems, and cultural elements, regardless of their geographical origins or other privilege markers, becomes a necessary step in maintaining openness and an anti foundational spirit. In conclusion, this reading of Cooper illuminates pathways toward the creation of non oppressive knowledge systems that nurture fresh ideas capable of addressing unprecedented and persistent challenges in novel and unforeseen ways.

Newton was critical of Descartes's constructivist vision of the foundations of geometry organised around certain curve-tracing principles. In unpublished work, Newton outlined a constructivist program of his own, based on his "organic" method of curve tracing, which subsumes Descartes's emblematic turning-ruler-and-moving-curve construction method as a special case, but does not suffer from the latter's flaw of being unable to trace all conics. This Newtonian program has been little studied and is more thoughtful and technically substantive than is commonly recognised. It also clashes with, and arguably supersedes and improves upon, Newton's perhaps better known earlier statements on the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper stems from the research for my PhD thesis to identify, survey and classify the surviving documentary sources, published and unpublished, on Irpinia and the Sannio Beneventano: almost 1600 documents, both public and private, produced in the Lombard and Norman period. More specifically, this study investigates the conservation methods adopted within the archives of religious institutions whose existence and functioning depended on their titula and munimina. While the sources are very reluctant to provide information on the archival practices adopted in major churches and monasteries, the analysis of the diplomatic-archival notes affixed to the verso of the charters nevertheless provides some additional information. Adopting an approach combining palaeography, diplomatics and archive science thus allows us to paint a less generic picture than that hitherto known. The survey and examination of the verso annotations, usually given little attention in editions of the documents, proved highly significant for the identification of historic ecclesiastical archives, for the practices of archiving and preserving the papers, as well as for the identification of specific and recurrent methods of managing and conserving the documentary heritage of the old churches and monasteries, urban or rural, which represented significant gathering and reference places for the territory under their control. For some of these foundations, moreover, the study of unpublished documents has made it possible to add new evidence to what is already historically known. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Antique trade amphorae illuminate a little understood but important find category for Arabia, still in the twilight of publication. Most of the find data lie buried in unpublished work regarding recent excavations at ʿAqaba/Ayla. Recent research has verified mineralogically the origin of these documents and their dating. An example fortuitously found forms the basis of this find note. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the cases wherein a previously unknown and unique mythological character (with his/her specific behavior, "personal" traits, appearance, origin, etc.) is generated by a cultural linguistic sign or a fragment of text. This research is based on the Russian cultural and linguistic tradition, mainly in its dialectal version (the language of Russian peasants). Its sources include data published in the late 19th–early 21st century in dictionaries of Russian dialects and, primarily, the unpublished field materials of the Ural Federal University Toponymic Expedition, covering data from the Russian North, the Urals, and the Volga region. According to their nature or origin, the names of characters studied in this paper derive from two types of linguistic signs: (1) Names based on usual forms of standard vocabulary that can be both proper and common nouns; the former may refer to various categories, such as toponyms (names of geographical objects), chrononyms (names of calendar dates), hagionyms (names of saints), names of icons, etc. (2) Names originating from a text, usually folkloric; these are word combinations or phrases that only act as a single unit within their "parent" text. Sometimes, but less often, these consist of one word that is of key importance in the source text. Such a phrase or word can migrate outside the "parent" text or genre, expanding their lexical combinability and changing their syntactic regime to become a name of a mythological character. It takes two sources of motivation for a new character to emerge—a linguistic (a word that seeks a new context) and a cultural one (a semiotically intense context, such as a situation associated with danger, prohibition, omens, aggression, or magical practices). The combination of these incentives is not uncommon, so the stock of mythology used for names is being constantly renewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1954 Walter Georg Kühne (1911–1991), the renowned discoverer of Mesozoic mammals, explored the south-Pyrenean basins of Catalonia with the aim of finding Cretaceous mammal-bearing sites. As a result, the German palaeontologist discovered one of the most important dinosaur fossils in the history of dinosaur research in Spain. In the Tremp Basin, near Orcau village, he found the remains of a large sauropod dinosaur, but a series of incomprehensible vicissitudes made the find forgotten and its extraction incomplete for over 60 years. Unprecedented research into the history of this discovery, including unpublished documents, images, and field notes, has revealed details on the costs of the campaigns, the daily logistics, the field techniques, and the fossils unearthed in the 1954 and 1955 excavations. More importantly, this new research ascertains that Kühne had already determined that the dinosaur skeleton was articulated from the pelvic girdle onwards. Even without being published, that was a historically significant achievement as, back then, the new specimen became the first and semi-articulated titanosaurian sauropod found in Europe. Currently, the sauropod fossils found by Kühne in Orcau, together with additional appendicular and axial bones, are the holotype of Abditosaurus kuehnei. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The missionaries' engagement with science and technology in colonial Kenya (1887–1963) is evidentially seen through the use of the post-industrial revolution's breakthroughs of the eighteenth century, which included: advancement in science and mass production, steam engines, and the rise of digital technology. The tendency to rely heavily on post-industrial innovations and inventions were critical in fast-tracking their missiological discourses, which included scriptural translations, publishing, and the use of printing machines. These were critical in generating instructional materials and especially the Bible, which was produced in the local indigenous languages by 1952, and by encouraging technical-science education after primary school, among other methods. Although the concept of science and technology is largely attributed to the scientific breakthroughs of the twenty-first century, we argue that this concept was also evident in both the African indigenous society and in the missionary era. The widespread use of the phrase 'science and technology' is further seen in the missionary enterprises since they founded or supported the establishment of technical schools that offered electrical engineering, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, mechanical engineering, and training in medicine and the establishment of dispensaries and hospitals, among other relevant activities. Methodologically, the research article endeavours to review the European missionary societies, especially the Protestant wing, in its aim to understand their engagement with science and technology, and to determine if there conflict between Western science and the indigenous systems. The data was gathered through a review of existing literature, archival sources, unpublished materials and other oral sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the ninth volume of The MIT Critical Edition of The Works of George Santayana, titled "Winds of Doctrine: Studies in Contemporary Opinion." The volume is part of a larger project to present Santayana's published and unpublished works with extensive editorial apparatus. The article highlights the importance of this critical edition for both unfamiliar and familiar audiences, providing detailed notes, discussions on the original sources, and insights into Santayana's philosophy. It also emphasizes the relevance of Santayana's analysis of cultural problems in the Western world, particularly in America, and suggests that his perspective can offer valuable insights into current challenges.

In this Perspective article, I am able to draw the various strands of my intellectual thinking and practice in archaeology and European prehistory into a complex narrative of changing themes. In this narrative, I draw attention to the inspirational triggers of these transformations to be found in works and words of colleagues and events within and outside my immediate discipline. A group of events between 1988 and 1993 disrupted (in a good way) the trajectory of my professional life and provided a convenient anchor around which my themes pivoted and regrouped with very different standpoints. But some trends in my way of working remained constant and contributed, I hope, to a career of cumulative knowledge. Along the way, I show the significance, in terms of my personal intellectual context as well as archaeological practice in general, of my published works as well as more obscure and some unpublished works that are cited here for the first time.

In an unpublished work of Fasel–Rao–Swan the notion of the relative Witt group W E (R , I) is defined. In this paper, we will give the details of this construction. Then we study the injectivity of the relative Vaserstein symbol V R , I : U m 3 (R , I) / E 3 (R , I) → W E (R , I). We establish injectivity of this symbol if R is a non-singular affine algebra of dimension 3 over a perfect C 1 -field and I is a local complete intersection ideal of R. It is natural to ask whether the Vaserstein symbol is injective for a singular 3-dimensional affine algebra. At the end of the paper, we will give an example of a singular 3-dimensional algebra over a perfect C 1 -field for which the Vaserstein symbol is injective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mina Loy's "Feminist Manifesto" was written in 1914, around the time of the modernist revolution in poetry in the United States. She penned this aggressively toned piece to open women's eyes to their place under the patriarchy and steps they should take, however drastic, to fight against its influence on their lives. Her work was unpublished during her lifetime, as it was intended merely as a letter to fellow writer Mabel Dodge Luhan. However, after its eventual publication in The Lost Lunar Baedeker, a collection of her poems, this fiery work was available to all. This paper will analyze the literary elements of tone, diction, and form found in the "Manifesto," as well as their effect. Additionally, these effects were attempted to be mimicked in a piece inspired by Mina Loy's work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Frederick Law Olmsted and his sons were America's foremost campus planners, whose multidisciplinary skill set and collaborative practices enabled them to envision and realize comprehensive plans for campuses, much as they did for their better-known parks and suburban communities. This article contributes a new campus case study to Olmsted firm history. There have long been unsubstantiated reports that F. L. Olmsted designed the bucolic Hudson Valley campus of Vassar College, although the source of Vassar's early designs has remained unclear. Drawing on unpublished archival materials, this article traces three generations of the Olmsted firm at Vassar, revealing that it was John Charles Olmsted—whose important oeuvre remains to be fully distinguished—who fundamentally shaped Vassar's central campus. This narrative elucidates the planning processes of this small, progressive woman's college in its formative decades, and addresses the shifting role of the landscape architect in American campus design in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth centuries.

On the occasion of the centenary of Rodolfo Kusch's birth, the article aims to rescue the philosopher as part of a collective "we", that is, to inscribe him in a reflective framework, which Kusch himself feeds while being nourished by it. For this purpose, relying on unpublished records and documents, the article reconstructs Kusch's participation and contribution to the Argentine team of "Philosophical research on the wisdom of the Argentine people as a hermeneutical place for a theory of philosophy of religion regarding the relationship between religion and language", which carried out its activities between 1977 and 1979, year of the Argentine philosopher's death. The article delves into both methodological suggestions and thematic reflections made by Kusch within the context of that group experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Extensive and redundant documentation has been found in the investigation of the colonial history of Tópaga, specifically alluding to the evangelization carried out by the Society of Jesus in the 17th century. These valuable records about the town were written by the Jesuits themselves who repeatedly quote each other constantly magnifying their work and interests, limiting the horizons and scenarios of other events. This reflective article seeks to contribute to the history of Tópaga from a perspective detached from the Jesuit grandiloquence. To achieve this objective, four ecclesiastical visits registered in the baptismal record book of this town are made known, and a paleographic work was carried out, reason why unpublished documents are being made publish. The essential elements of their content were identified to complement the causes and motives of the Jesuit settlement in the places of the landscapes of Tópaga and that are not fully indicated in their historiography.

We provide a review of micropalaeontological research on Ostracoda from the Middle Pleistocene (MIS 11, Holstein interglacial) hominin site Bilzingsleben in Thuringia in Central Germany from 1963 to the 1990s. Samples from four sections inside and six search pits outside the excavation area were investigated and, in total, 49 ostracod species were identified. The ostracod assemblages of the sections mirror the complex and small‐scale palaeoenvironmental evolution of the site from a seeping‐spring to fluviatile, lacustrine and finally seeping‐spring habitat in which a massive tufa layer formed and prevented erosion of the sediments beneath. Pleistocene index fossils are represented by Ilyocypris quinculminata from search pit 3/sample 9933 and Scottia browniana from section 70. Both species indicate the age dating of MIS 11 for the tufa deposit. The results of this study facilitate new insights into site formation processes, enable refinement of the interpretation of the archaeological record and shed light on the question: Does the find‐bearing layer at the Bilzingsleben site contain in situ remains of a camp site of Homo erectus or not? Our results suggest that the site is not unaffected at least. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
