Isolated Species

Examination of (35) samples of spices obtained from local markets for the purposes of isolating and diagnosing fungi growing on them. Anine isolates belonging to 13 different types of fungi were diagnosed by the standard dilution method with three replications, and it has been observed that the most samples from which the fungi were isolated is ginger. It was found that the most isolated species of fungi are Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Rizupes spp. A rare colony of fungi was observed, which indicates contamination of the spices under study with the fungus. The present study aims to identify the potential risks of the presence of fungi in spices and what may result from mycotoxins that may be the cause of many chronic diseases as a result of using these spices in large quantities. The study recommends limiting the use of contaminated spices, especially ginger, in preparing food and its uses, in addition to other types such as cloves, black and white pepper, and other types of spices found in the local markets, especially the expired ones.

Film And Literature

In this article we look at three recent films–Native Son (2019, dir. Rashid Johnson, based on Richard Wright’s 1940 novel), Widows (2018, dir. Steve McQueen, based on a 1983 TV series), and The Hate U Give (2018, dir. George Tillman Jr., based on a book by Angie Thomas)–by Black directors that showcase the interactions between Blacks and whites in an American urban milieu. We argue that the setting of two of these films–Native Son and Widows–in Chicago, with The Hate U Give being set in a fictional urban setting bearing a strong resemblance to the Windy City, serves to articulate the continuing racial divisions of American cities in the twenty-first century. The three films show that the fossilization of the divide between Black and white districts inevitably leads to outbreaks of racial violence.

The City

This chapter shows how, in the decades after the War of 1812, slavery and the slave trade in the city invited domestic and international criticism as the movement to abolish slavery focused its efforts on the District. As abolitionism became a national force in American politics in the 1830s, the national battle over slavery was waged in large part in and about the nation’s capital, and local abolitionists, black and white, actively challenged slavery within the city itself. Washington became the national battleground over slavery not only because it was the seat of government but also because of the city’s political impotence. Because Congress had veto power over any legislation passed by the city’s local council, national leaders could (and did) use Washington as a pawn in their political power struggles. Escalating political and racial tensions erupted in an 1835 race riot that concludes the chapter.

One of the major objective of this essay is to show that Woody Allen’s Manhattan (1979) is a renewal of an old film genre called the city symphony. In this movie, the director outlined a suggestive portrait of his beloved New York City. After Annie Hall (1977), Manhattan is the second most complete expression of the specificity of Allen’s style, which consists of comic and tragic elements. Another object of this essay is to demonstrate that while creating the image of the metropolis the director particularly exploits the tools of film expression. Audiovisual layer of Allen’s work allows to juxtapose Manhattan with the city symphony (genre which came into being in the twenties as an innovative combination of documentary and avant-garde forms). The similarity between Manhattan and the original city symphonies is visible at the very beginning of the film, because of black and white, kaleidoscopic shots of metropolis as well as the backing sound (Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin). Allen’s picture is not only a sophisticated portrait of New York, but also the critical study of the society

ABSTRACT Objectives: to compare the metabolic, anthropometric, tobacco and alcohol consumption indicators considered as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, as well as the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics between indigenous from Rio Negro, Sateré-Mawé, mixed-race/black and white people living in the city of Manaus. Methods: a cross-sectional observational study guided by the STROBE tool. There was a sample of 191 adults of both sexes. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and biochemical analyzes were performed. Statistical test was applied to cross color/race/ethnicity variable with the investigated variables. Results: indigenous had better metabolic and anthropometric indicators related to cardiovascular diseases than mixed-race/black and white, as well as Sateré-Mawé in relation to Rionegrinos (from Rio Negro). Conclusions: the main differences were obesity, dyslipidemia, pre-systemic arterial hypertension/systemic arterial hypertension, and increased circumferences, with a worse situation for mixed-race/black people. The findings indicate differences in risk factors between race/color and ethnicity groups evaluated.

The edge space lies between the “black” and “white” part of the city, associates the vagueness of the space with “ambiguity” and are the places to inspire people to interact with each other. Edge space is also becoming more and more important in increasingly alienated cities due to its heterogeneity and integration, but the vitality of edge space in cities is uneven. This paper taking Tan Hualin edge space configuration as the research unit, according to the chart of survey data, conducts a comparative analysis of the spatial “field” and human “behaviors” of the edge space between Tan Hualin commercial district and Tan Hualin residential district, so as to explore the reasons why the edge space of urban residential district is more dynamic and to enrich the types of environment construction of edge space in urban district .
