HOG CHAINS AND MARK TWAINS: A STUDY OF LABOR HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY, AND INDUSTRIAL ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE STEAMBOAT ERA OF THE MONONGAHELA VALLEY 1811-1950

This dissertation examines a unique working class in the United States, the men and women who worked on the steamboats from the Industrial Revolution until the demise of steam-powered boats in the mid-20th century. The steamboat was the beginning of a technological system that was developed in America and used in such great numbers that it made the rapid population of the Trans-Appalachian West possible. The steamboat was forever romanticized by images of the antebellum South or the quick wit of Samuel Clemens and his sentimental book, Life on the Mississippi. The imagination swirls with thoughts of boats, bleach white, slowly churning the calm waters of some Spanish moss covered river. The reality of the boats and the experience of those who worked on them has been lost in this nostalgic vision. This research details the history of the western steamboat in the Monongahela Valley, the birthplace of the commercial steamboat industry. The first part of this dissertation examines the literature of authors in the field of labor history and Industrial Archaeology to place this work into the larger context of published literature. The second builds a framework for understanding the various eras that the steamboat went through both in terms of technological change, but also the change the workers experienced as their identity as a working class was being shaped. The third part details the excavations of two steamboat captains houses, those of Captain James Gormley and Captain Michael A. Cox. Both men represented a time in which the steamboat was in an era of transition. Excavations at their homes yield clues to their class status and how integrated they were in the local community. The fourth part of this study documents the oral histories of steamboat workers, both men and women, and their experience on the boats and on the river. Their rapidly declining population of those who lived and worked on the boats gives urgency for their lives to be documented. Finally, this study concludes with a synthesis of how worker identity solidified in the face of technological, socio-economic, and ideological change especially during their push for unionization and the introduction of the diesel towboat.

Eugenio de Ochoa (1815-1872). El hombre de letras en la España de Isabel II

El nombre de Eugenio de Ochoa siempre aparece en los libros sobre la cultura española del siglo XIX, aunque pocas veces con un papel protagonista. Su lugar en la historia de la literatura se halla asociado a otros personajes o a empresas periodísticas de importancia que son recordadas por los nombres de esos otros: El Artista, Federico Madrazo, Pedro Madrazo, Juan Eugenio Hartzenbusch, Victor Hugo, Balzac… Y así Ochoa es siempre el co-creador de una revista, el cuñado de, el amigo de, el traductor de, el editor de… Esta posición secundaria ha restado atractivo al estudio de un hombre que desempeñó un papel fundamental en la conexión de la cultura española con Europa, tanto por ser el vehículo por el que llegaron a España muchos autores contemporáneos como por llevar a cabo el recorrido contrario, mostrando al continente el patrimonio cultural nacional. Sin embargo, esa faceta de intermediario, y no la de literato, contemplada desde una perspectiva más centrada en el contexto y menos en el canon literario tradicional, ofrece unas posibilidades de análisis extremadamente interesantes. Además, la gran pluralidad de sus actividades le convirtió en su tiempo en un observador privilegiado de la realidad cultural y política del país. Ahí se halla el objetivo que ha guiado la realización de este trabajo. Por medio del estudio de su figura se ha pretendido llevar a cabo un análisis de la cultura española del siglo XIX, partiendo de un enfoque sociológico de la misma y prestando más atención a las prácticas en el campo literario que al contenido de la creación. Esa es la razón que explica que, metodológicamente, el trabajo se apoye en dos pilares, cada uno de los cuales sirve de soporte a las dos partes centrales del mismo: la reflexión acerca del “hombre de letras” en el reinado de Isabel II y el papel desempeñado por el mediador cultural en el proceso de transferencia de conocimientos e imágenes nacionales en la Europa del siglo XIX. Al comienzo de cada uno de estos bloques se realiza una reflexión más detallada sobre ambas líneas de análisis que, por supuesto, no son las únicas y no agotan el tema...

Respostas fisiológicas de pirarucu ao probiótico Bacillus subtilis (Cohn 1872).

O uso de probióticos na alimentação dos peixes pode estimular o sistema imunológico e agir na prevenção de enfermidades. O presente estudo avaliou a fisiologia de pirarucu Arapaima gigas após alimentação por 30 dias com dietas enriquecidas com probiótico Bacillus subtilis em 3 níveis de inclusão: 0 (Controle); 0,02 (BS0,02%) e 0,05% (BS0,05%) (triplicata), sendo realizada biometria e coleta de amostras de sangue. Os grupos foram comparados entre si (P<0,05). O peso, comprimento e o índice hepatossomático (IHS) dos pirarucus BS0,05% foram menores que os do Controle. As análises hematológicas e bioquímicas indicaram que BS0,02% promoveu aumento do hematócrito e da albumina, com relação aos demais grupos; e diminuição da concentração de hemoglobina corpuscular média (CHCM) e da glicose plasmática com relação ao Controle. A hemoglobina corpuscular média (HCM) e atividade respiratória dos leucócitos do BS0,05% diminuíram com relação ao Controle. BS0,02% apresentaram redução do número de leucócitos, com relação ao Controle, que refletiu na diminuição de monócitos, neutrófilos, LG-PAS e eosinófilos. Assim, os níveis de B. subtilis avaliados não promoveram crescimento ou alterações fisiológicas nos pirarucus, que indiquem melhoria do seu sistema imune.

Curiosidades historiográficas: un hondureño le escribe a Marx en 1872

IntroducciónHace poco, un colega historiador, me hizo llegar una copia de una carta que su tutor de estudios en Barcelona, a su vez, pusiera en sus manos. La carta en cuestión es una de esas curiosidades histográficas que, en el trayecto de la labor de archivo, a veces, se tiene suerte de encontrar. en ocaciones, tales hallazgos pueden conducir a trabajos de excepcional importancia, como sucedió a Carlos Guinzburg en una comunidad.

Spectrometric and voltammetric studies of the interaction between quercetin and bovine serum albumin using warfarin as site marker with the aid of chemometrics

The interaction of quercetin, which is a bioflavonoid, with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated under pseudo-physiological conditions by the application of UV–vis spectrometry, spectrofluorimetry and cyclic voltammetry (CV). These studies indicated a cooperative interaction between the quercetin–BSA complex and warfarin, which produced a ternary complex, quercetin–BSA–warfarin. It was found that both quercetin and warfarin were located in site I. However, the spectra of these three components overlapped and the chemometrics method – multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) was applied to resolve the spectra. The resolved spectra of quercetin–BSA and warfarin agreed well with their measured spectra, and importantly, the spectrum of the quercetin–BSA–warfarin complex was extracted. These results allowed the rationalization of the behaviour of the overlapping spectra. At lower concentrations ([warfarin] < 1 × 10−5 mol L−1), most of the site marker reacted with the quercetin–BSA, but free warfarin was present at higher concentrations. Interestingly, the ratio between quercetin–BSA and warfarin was found to be 1:2, suggesting a quercetin–BSA–(warfarin)2 complex, and the estimated equilibrium constant was 1.4 × 1011 M−2. The results suggest that at low concentrations, warfarin binds at the high-affinity sites (HAS), while low-affinity binding sites (LAS) are occupied at higher concentrations.

Voices of the Unheard

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant. Horace - Roman lyric poet and satirist 65BC – 8 BC This quotation from Horace could well be the chorus to a medley of songs sung by people who face extraordinary adversity and have gained emotional resilience through music making. In this chapter we present three composition ventures that are stories or verses in a new song and whose chorus summarises the nature of the resilience factors present in the narratives. We are aware that words on a page like this can have the effect of filtering out the engaging nature of musical experience and reduce music to a critique or an evaluation of its aesthetic value. This disjuncture between language and the ephemeral, embodied experience is a problem for those who use these creative processes in therapeutic and salutogenic ways (Antonovsky, 1996) for public health. The notion of salutogenic health, put simply, delineates it from therapy in that the processes focus upon wellness rather than therapy. Whilst we include evidence from the fields of community music therapy (Pavlicevic, 2004; Leitschuh et al., 1991), neuroscience (Bittman et al., 2001) and community music (Bartleet et al., 2009) the framework for a salutogenic health outcome in community music is one which seeks to employ music practices and the qualities of music making that provide positive health benefit to communities –to enhance health and well being rather than the “treatment” of disorders. It is essentially a holistic and interdisciplinary study. Therapy and salutogenic health are not mutually exclusive as both depend upon the qualities of music experience to affect change. Collecting, analysing and presenting evidence of change in human behaviour that can be directly attributed to creative music making is a problem of evaluation.

The internal validity of web-based studies

Honing and Ladinig (2008) make the assertion that while the internal validity of web-based studies may be reduced, this is offset by an increase in external validity possible when experimenters can sample a wider range of participants and experimental settings. In this paper, the issue of internal validity is more closely examined, and it is agued that there is no necessary reason why internal validity of a web-based study should be worse than that of a lab-based one. Errors of measurement or inconsistencies of manipulation will typically balance across conditions of the experiment, and thus need not necessarily threaten the validity of a study’s findings.
