![]() Multipanel plot depicting the relationship between narrativity (individual indicators and single narrativity index given by PC1, labeled individually) and article citation frequency. While this method is costly, it does possibly alleviate some of the quality assurance and control issues of other crowdsourcing methods. The idea is to have higher-quality contributors who offer a bit more technical expertise than just your average person off the street. Each abstract considered was examined by multiple independent contributors from the site. The platform works by having multiple contributors who work for the site and who are paid small amounts of money for completing tasks-in this case tasks examining scientific abstracts based on the six defined criteria. One unique method applied in this work, is the use of a crowdsourcing platform called CrowdFlower. ![]() “People think that stories are shaped by people. In addition to these narrative elements, the length of the abstract, number of authors, year of publication, journal identity, and journal impact factor were also considered as these are known factors that influence citation frequency. The authors also note that “logical linkages” were also explicitly considered.Īppeal – There is the question, of course, of why do we care? What is the point of this work? A narrative must include some form of commentary, evaluation or “landscape of consciousness.” Does the work make an appeal or clear recommendation? ![]() The authors used the presence of conjunctions to determine the “extent to which an abstract is logically ordered, based on the observation that a temporal or causal ordering of events is an essential, and distinguishing, characteristic of narratives.”Ĭonnectivity – The use of words or phrases that create contextually explicit links within a narrative creates a sense of “connectivity” either through repetition or references to previous statements. As defined by the authors, this includes narrative expressions of “emotions, attitudes, beliefs, and interpretations.”Ĭonjunctions – The logical ordering of a narrative through the use of conjunctions to connect words and phrases results in prose with momentum towards a conclusion or completion. Sensory Language – Language that appeals to the senses or emotions can be used to create a connection with the reader to the work. In-text reference to the narrator through pronouns such as “I”, “we”, and “our” was assessed to quantify narrative perspective. A first-person narrator is a typically stronger narrative presence than a third-person narrator. Narrative Perspective – The role of the narrator distinguishes stories from other forms of communication. ![]() Abstracts were gleaned for a mention of either time or place. The reader wants to know where and when something is happening. Setting – A successful narrative relies on a consideration of time and place. The authors define six factors that influence narrativity: And as it turns out, the whole world loves a story. Using citation frequency as a proxy for impact, the authors restricted their look to climate change research and began with the hypothesis that the presence of a more narrative focused text, would result in a higher citation frequency. Kelly, and Terrie Klinger used a crowdsourcing platform to examine 732 scientific abstracts from 19 journals for narrative style. While we have all read our fair share of dense and unapproachable manuscripts, how much does narrative style affect the impact of our science? In the recent PLOS One work, “ Narrative Style Influences Citation Frequency in Climate Change Science,” authors Ann Hillier, Ryan P. If your prose resembles the start of this post, most people are likely to never read it and whatever amazing work you did in the lab or the field will be relegated to the shelf-sad and unread. See what I did there? There are some papers and writers who amaze us with their style and their readability. Scientific writing is often belied as dry, stale a block of indomitable, indecipherable text buttressed with vague language, passive voice, countless equations, and overly constructed, borderline-run-on sentences that seem to drag on and on and on. “We owe it to each other to tell stories.”

![]() In 1998, Divine Styler released his third studio album, Wordpower 2: Directrix to positive reviews. Spiral Walls received mixed reactions from within the hip hop community, and Divine Styler embarked on a four year hiatus.ĭivine Styler returned in 1996 with a verse on House of Pain's final album, Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again, exhibiting a more traditional hip hop style of lyricism similar to his work on Word Power. The album is notorious for being wildly experimental, and utilises a wide variety of music genres such as rock, electronic and funk, in addition to hip hop. ![]() This style is reflected on his second studio album, Spiral Walls Containing Autumns of Light, released in 1992. In 1991, Divine Styler converted to Sunni Islam, changing his name and adopting lyrical themes concerning the teachings of Islam and praising Mohammed. The album was well-received by critics and fans, but was not a commercial success. He first emerged as a member of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate collective, and released his debut album, Word Power, in 1989 on the Rhyme $yndicate Records label. Although he has not experienced much commercial success, he is a well respected factor from the late 1980s and early 1990s West Coast underground hip hop scene. ![]() Enticing, informative, and done with nothing but the upliftment of man and woman at heart, which alone is enough to be applauded for.Mikal Safiyullah (born Mark Richardson 1968), better known by his stage name Divine Styler, is an American hip hop musician from Brooklyn, New York. While, DS does a nice job of using hip-hop as a medium for getting his message out to the masses, his lyricism takes a backseat to his uncompromising underground production. His elevated, intellectually stimulating word power is a nice change of pace, and far from the usual M.O. Divine Styler's style is unlike anything you've ever heard, and it takes more then a few listens to fully decipher what's going on. DS finds a nice groove on the B-side, whereas side one is much less cohesive and uneventful. There is a huge discrepancy in terms of quality from the first side of this LP to the second (where most of the tracks mentioned above are located). DS outdoes himself with "Make It Plain" as he implements sonic explosions that hit from every possible angle, making it an unparalleled listening experience. The old-school breakbeat and quick thrusting bursts of energy propel "Before Mecca," as it has lost no luster off its original shine. "Microphenia" continues assaulting your eardrums, befuddling you with its seemingly out-of-nowhere soundscapes. SOB combines wonderfully with DS, as Takbir's performance is especially invigorating. Joining forces for the first of two collabos with his labelmates Styles of Beyond, "Nova" has a definite "Hot Sex" vibe permeating its every orifice. DS spits his lyrics out in a robotic talking mode, fluctuating in and out of this hazy futuristic track. Creating nothing but timebomb's waiting to explode, "Directrix" is guaranteed head-nodding material. With "Time Fold 79," Divine puts his breath control on full display over a plush piano arrangement, a true dedication to hip-hop's glory days. The exquisitely original in-the-house-of-God "Hajji" attacks from the jump with its voice-manipulated supernova distortion, and DJ Rhettmatic's scratches on the 1's and 2's. The Pharaoh Divine Styler divulges potent doses of uplifting abstract lyrics, but the true genius of this recording lies in his work behind the boards. In a virtually loveless industr industry, Divine Styler's second solo album is a truly inspiring love piece focusing on the self-empowering aspects of life over acid-infused breakbeats. ![]() With or without additional designation "wool" or "animal hair" - hair of the following animals: goat CashgoraĮlastic fiber made from natural or synthetic polyisoprene, returns either of one or more dienes polymerized with or without one or more vinyl monomers, and, stretched under the action of a tensile force to three times its original length and released, recovers rapidly and substantially to its initial position.Įlastic fiber composed of at least 85 weight percent of a segmented polyurethane, and the stretched under the action of a tensile force to three times its original length, returns recovers rapidly and substantially to its initial position.

There was an old bull snake who had taken to the less difficult task of egg snatching. They were small and quick so no one saw them fly in, and no one saw them leave. Their beaks soon dripped with the broken hopes of other birds. Convinced that this was her only choice, she chose her own. When the Little House Wren resisted, he scolded her for not caring for their family and insisted that she must choose between her eggs and another’s. The two of them would fly to every nest within their territory, wait for the nests to be unguarded, then they would peck at the other eggs until they broke. The night the little house Wren laid her eggs, before she could lovingly sit on them, her mate squawked his terrible plan to ensure their children’s safety. The Little House Wren loved her mate and she wanted her little ones to eat well and not starve, so her heart grew more fearful with each twig placed in another bird’s nest. He would chirp to his mate about the lack of food in their area and how the other birds were going to consume all the resources that were rightfully theirs. The male Wren began looking out of the little hole in the birdhouse, watching every bird that flew by with suspicion. But as the eggs grew in her, a darkness grew in him. She had a mate and the two of them began their family in an old birdhouse on a fencepost that stood on the edge of a beautiful vegetable garden, surrounded by sunflowers. Once upon a time, near a farmhouse nestled in the foothills, there was a Little House Wren. ![]() As he glances into a post Nagasaki world, a post Bay of Pigs world, a post Berlin Wall world, Ham observes that it was in the end economic, not military forces that drove the Soviet bravado to its knees and that there is no guarantee that a tin pot state (my words, not Ham’s) or rampant nationalistic or religious fundamentalist breakaway group will not detonate nuclear winter. Sadly the world that was born on the day Trinity exploded has not in any temporal sense been redeemed: referring to the Dr Strangelove figure Dr Edward Teller, Ham observes (ruefully, it seems) “posterity had judged him and the exponents of MAD, partly correct, insofar as mankind had avoided a nuclear war through the assurance of mutual annihilation that does not mean, of course, that it will not happen, and the dire uncertainty and immense expenditure of maintaining the balance of mutually assured death has turned the minds of enlightened leaders to the policy of nuclear disarmament.” (468). Ham’s writing is extraordinarily compulsive, and the torrid tale he tells, and the exhaustive research he utilizes to corroborate his case, ensures that no reader could digest his work while believing that a nuclear arsenal can save or redeem the world. Would that this volume could be on the reading list of every final year secondary school curriculum (and the reading list of every undergraduate curriculum, from physics to theology, sociology to economics). If heroes emerge from the chronicle it is the survivors, those hibakusha maimed beyond belief who dared to rise from the ashes of their respective cities and live again, those who like Tagashi Nagai spent their every last ounce of life force trying to ameliorate the plight of the dying and the grieving, those who strove to build a just Japan. ![]() Truman comes out of the narrative badly, but Ham’s case is well presented. ![]() Certainly, as others have noticed, Ham is of the opinion that a militaristic nose-thumbing at the emerging Soviet superpower underscores the saga and its aftermath, but he does not ultimately claim there can be nor ever could have been a naïve return of the nuclear genie to her bottle. Ham has no sympathy for after the event hanky-wringers (Oppenheimer, for example) or Ramboesque opportunists (LeMay, though not responsible for nuclear warfare, Groves, who was), nor tries to exonerate the Japanese from a vile period of sub-human cruelty. Few figures in the tragic narrative of preparation for, delivery of, and aftermath to Hiroshima and Nagasaki come out of the narrative unscathed, yet simultaneously few emerge as unambivalent villains. No one-eyed the USA can do no wrong reader will agree – or probably even persevere, but to this reader it seemed that Ham skillfully negotiates pitfalls of doctrinaire anti-Americanism, blind pacifism, and plastic militarism with overwhelming skill. What an outstanding resource Paul Ham has provided. Here was a chance to rectify the black hole in my knowledge pool. Coming from my perspective, driven not least by exhaustive readings of the theology of Jürgen Moltmann, that the world changed dreadfully on July 16, 1945, when the obscenely named Trinity was detonated in the New Mexico desert, I realized I simply did not know enough about the circumstances and mindset that led up to its dark successors, Little Boy and Fat Man. I purchased Ham’s tome because I have long held a genuine sense that I really did not have my head around the complexities of the Japanese bombing. Hiroshima Nagasaki presents the grisly unadorned truth about the bombings, blurred for so long by postwar propaganda, and transforms our understanding of one of the defining events of the twentieth century. Ham also gives powerful witness to its destruction through the eyes of eighty survivors, from twelve-year-olds forced to work in war factories to wives and children who faced the holocaust alone. In this gripping narrative, Ham demonstrates convincingly that misunderstandings and nationalist fury on both sides led to the use of the bombs. Yet American leaders claimed the bombs were "our least abhorrent choice"-and still today most people believe they ended the Pacific War and saved millions of American and Japanese lives. Many hundreds of thousands more succumbed to their horrific injuries later, or slowly perished of radiation-related sickness. More than 100,000 people were killed instantly by the atomic bombs, mostly women, children, and the elderly. In this harrowing history of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, Paul Ham argues against the use of nuclear weapons, drawing on extensive research and hundreds of interviews to prove that the bombings had little impact on the eventual outcome of the Pacific War. ![]() When the propounding party uses the term, “you” in discovery requests, the party is then attempting to obtain information regarding not only the responding party who is a party to the lawsuit, but also all agents, servants, employees, and representatives of responding party which were, or are, in responding party’s employ.

Specified therein, its application is shown to significantly reduce pain and swelling, contribute to tissue regeneration, and result in a more rapid functional improvement. Comfrey was proven effective for the treatment of, e.g., acute upper and lower back pain, gonarthrosis, or for patients with blunt injuries ( Koll et al., 2004 Predel et al., 2005 Grube et al., 2007 Giannetti et al., 2010). Today, the efficacy and safety of comfrey root extract ointment has been substantiated by several randomized clinical trials and non-interventional studies. Several cellular mechanisms have been proposed in order to explain their mode of action, including the targeting of different intracellular signaling pathways triggered by NF-κB, AP-1, PPAR, Nrf2, and MAPKs ( Chen et al., 2017 Tasneem et al., 2019). Phenolic compounds have been reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects both in vitro and in vivo ( Chen et al., 2018). ![]() Native in Europe, it has been used for centuries for the treatment of a variety of painful muscle and joint complaints ( Staiger, 2012 Frost et al., 2013). Symphytum officinale (Boraginaceae), well known as comfrey, represents a plant with an impressive record of medicinal use. These results provide a first mechanistic insight into the mode of action of a century-old popular herbal medicine. Furthermore, our biochemical studies provide evidence that comfrey inhibits NF-κB signaling at two stages: it dampens not only the activation of IKK1/2 and the subsequent IκBα degradation, but also interferes with NF-κB p65 nucleo-cytoplasmatic shuttling and transactivation. Both preparations inhibit the activation of NF-κB, a transcription factor of central importance for the expression of these and other pro-inflammatory genes. The extract, and especially its mucilage-depleted fraction, impair the interleukin-1 (IL-1) induced expression of pro-inflammatory markers including E-selectin, VCAM1, ICAM1, and COX-2. Here, we show that a hydroalcoholic extract of comfrey root impairs the development of a pro-inflammatory scenario in primary human endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. However, the molecular basis of its action remained elusive. Today, its topical use is based on its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, which have been substantiated by modern clinical trials. Symphytum officinale, commonly known as comfrey, constitutes a traditional medicinal plant with a long-standing therapeutic history, and preparations thereof have been widely used for the treatment of painful muscle and joint complaints, wound and bone healing, and inflammation. 3Dipartimento di Farmacia, Università degli Studi di Salerno, Salerno, Italy.2R&D, Procter & Gamble Health, Darmstadt, Germany.1Department of Vascular Biology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.Holper-Schichl 4* † and Rainer de Martin 1* † ** Please note: Comfrey should not be taken internally as, even in small doses over time, it can be harmful.Jacqueline Seigner 1, Marc Junker-Samek 2, Alberto Plaza 2, Gilda D‘Urso 3, Milena Masullo 3, Sonia Piacente 3, Yvonne M. To learn how to make your own comfrey compost tea and how it benefits your garden, read our blog, Comfrey: Your Compost Companion. ![]() Because the plant yields large amounts of leaves, breaks down quickly and contains natural compost activators, you can create a compost tea from comfrey for fertilizing your plants. ![]() More recently, Comfrey has been the subject of a hot new composting trend. Though it makes a beautiful addition to the garden, it can sometimes be bothersome to get rid of, as new shoots grow easily from pieces of severed roots. You can then soak the sunburned areas in the cooled tea to help reduce pain and discomfort, and promote healthy skin regeneration.Ĭomfrey enjoys a wet, shady area and will do well in most soil types. Just steep fresh comfrey into a tea for external use, by straining the leaves and letting it cool. The plant's natural Allantoin levels also make it a great herb for after sun care. When mashed and heated into a poultice or applied as a salve, Comfrey can also make a wonderfully mild astringent great for ulcers and sores. Common Comfrey is also referred to as ‘Knitbone’ as it is the plant's high concentration of Allantoin that helps reduce inflammation of sprains and broken bones. Comfrey is one of our most popular medicinal herbs. A healthcare professional will look at your symptoms and medical history and let you know what steps to take from there.

Of particular interest to our faculty are blood clots that occurred while on oral contraceptives, also known as birth control pills or while pregnant. This typically requires a short hospital stay. Placing the stents usually does not require more than a band-aid where we entered the vein. The stents are similar to those put in the heart, except the stents we use in veins are much larger. We usually place metal stents into these blocked veins to keep the veins open. We have opened up veins that have been blocked for 25 years, with significant improvement in the patients' symptoms. Treating chronic DVTĪt Stanford we have a variety of new techniques to re-open veins that have been blocked for years. These symptoms are related to the vein being blocked and not allowing blood flow out of the leg. ![]() These patients are typically prescribed compression stockings in order to help with these symptoms. ![]() Patients with chronic DVT experience leg swelling, pain, and often skin discoloration of the leg below the knee. As a result of this process, the vein becomes much smaller and does not allow blood to flow through effectively. A clot that is over one to two months old is called "chronic." The clot becomes harder and scars the vein. |
