Congo masks : masterpieces from Central Africa : a book and catalogue
This splendid illustrated exploration of masks and masking ceremonies from the Democratic Republic of the Congo presents more than 130 outstanding wooden masks dating from the 18th to the 20th century. Visually stunning and spiritually charged, these objects connected wearers with their ancestors and were part of elaborate costumes used in ritual performances. Including some of the finest works of African art in private hands, this volume features masks from eleven distinct stylistic zones: Ukongo, Ukwango, Ukete, Ukuba, Urunda, Uruwa, Utanganyika, Umaniema, Uituri, Ubangi, and Umongo. Displaying an enormous diversity of materials, design, and craftsmanship, these masks reflect the wide range of natural resources available throughout the Congo region and illuminate the unique belief systems of local populations. Accessible and informative essays provide insight into these extraordinary objects and are enlivened by both new photography and archival images showing the ceremonial use of masks in early 20th-century Congo. Exhibition: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, USA (10.11.2018-18.02.2019).

Dada bodies
This is the first comprehensive study of bodily images in Dada. Travelling between the international centres of the movement, from Zurich to Berlin, Paris to New York, it examines a diverse range of media, including art, literature, performance, photography and film. Its overall approach is to confront Dada’s bodily images not as organic unities but as fictions that reflect on the disjunctive, dehumanised society of war-torn Europe. These fictions occupy an ambivalent space between the battlefield (in their satirical exposure of ideology) and the fairground (in their playful manipulation and joyful renewal of the body). The book features analyses of works by Max Ernst, Francis Picabia, Hannah Höch, Marcel Duchamp and others, and will appeal to scholars and students of European history, cultural history, art and literature.

Kvantitativna procjena perifernog propuštanja maski za lice
Periferno propuštanje zraka utječe na ulogu maske za lice da štiti nositelja maske od izloženosti zračnim zagađenjima. Propuštanje nastaje kad zrak prolazi izvan materijala filtra i ulazi u masku ili iz maske na mjestima između maske i lica. Nositelj maske stvara negativan pritisak unutar maske pri udisanju i pozitivan pritisak pri izdisanju. Te razlike pritiska uvlače ili tjeraju zrak van iz maske te tako smanjuju njezinu učinkovitost. Osmišljena je zračna komora kojom se jednostavnije procjenjuje prolazak zraka izvan maske. Promjene pritiska i protoka zraka bilježe su pomoću diferencijalnog manometra i digitalnog termoanemometra. Razlike protoka zraka pod maskom i protoka zraka pri otvorenoj konfiguraciji (kontrola) utvrdile su deficit u protoku zraka koji uzrokuje periferno propuštanje zraka. Testirane su četiri različite maske i to kirurška maska, covid maska, pamučna maska i N95 maska. Rezultati su dokazali sličnosti između sva četiri tipa maski. Kirurška maska pokazala je propuštanje od 50 %, covid maska 67 %, a pamučna maska 63 %. N95 maska, pak, pokazala je da je propuštanje 72 %. Rezultate ove studije potvrđuju prethodne studije koje također svjedoče o visokoj razini perifernog propuštanja zraka kod svih maski trenutno u uporabi. Metoda procjene opisana u ovoj studiji nudi novu i jednostavnu metodu za utvrđivanje propuštanja.

The search for the Man in the Iron Mask
This book pursues an enduring puzzle that has stumped historians for centuries and seduced novelists and filmmakers down to this day. Who was the man who wore an iron mask and was kept in prison for years during the reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV? Paul Sonnino brilliantly traces his decade-long quest to solve the mystery.

Kogojeva inovativna iznajdba ‘akordnih permutacij’ v operi Črne maske
Dekodiranje Kogojevega zagonetnega številčnega načina označevanja akordov je pomemben korak naprej pri poznavanju Kogojeve iznajdbe t. i. akordnih permutacij. Uporaba teh je potrjena in umeščena v estetsko-dramski kontekst na ključnih mestih opere Črne maske (po drami L. Andrejeva), kjer se vežeta klasičnost in modernizem v skladno celoto. V tem predstavlja inovativen glasbenoteoretični in kompozicijski prispevek v slovenski operi v začetku 20. stoletja.

Design and fabrication of MEMS-based microneedle arrays for medical applications
Fabrication results for MEMS-based microneedle arrays are presented in this paper. The microneedle array was fabricated by employing a bi-mask technique to facilitate sharp tips, a cylindrical body and side openings. The presented array has advantages over previously published microneedle arrays in terms of ease of fabrication and bonding; high needle density and robustness; and side openings, which are expected to minimize the potential for clogging from skin debris during insertion. In addition, control over the process via etch-stop markers employed as stop layers, which assure the depth of long blind holes and the structure of the needle top, allows for different needle lengths and needle top structures to be easily implemented. The preliminary fluid flow and insertion experiments were performed to demonstrate the efficiency of the microneedle arrays.

Low-Roughness Plasma Etching of HgCdTe Masked with Patterned Silicon Dioxide
A novel mask technique utilizing patterned silicon dioxide films has been exploited to perform mesa etching for device delineation and electrical isolation of HgCdTe third-generation infrared focal-plane arrays (IRFPAs). High-density silicon dioxide films were deposited at temperature of 80°C, and a procedure for patterning and etching of HgCdTe was developed by standard photolithography and wet chemical etching. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the surfaces of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etched samples were quite clean and smooth. Root-mean-square (RMS) roughness characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) was less than 1.5 nm. The etching selectivity between a silicon dioxide film and HgCdTe in the samples masked with patterned silicon dioxide films was greater than 30:1. These results show that the new masking technique is readily available and promising for HgCdTe mesa etching.

Carnival
This beautifully illustrated volume features work by leading writers and experts on carnival from around the world, and includes two stunning photo essays by acclaimed photographers Pablo Delano and Jeffrey Chock. Editor Milla Cozart Riggio presents a body of work that takes the reader on a fascinating journey exploring the various aspects of carnival - its traditions, its history, its music, its politics - and prefaces each section with an illuminating essay.
Traditional carnival theory, based mainly on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and Victor Turner, has long defined carnival as inversive or subversive. The essays in this groundbreaking anthology collectively reverse that trend, offering a re-definition of 'carnival' that focuses not on the hierarchy it temporarily displaces or negates, but a one that is rooted in the actual festival event.
Carnival details its new theory in terms of a carnival that is at once representative and distinctive: The Carnival of Trinidad - the most copied yet least studied major carnival in the world.

Masks Or Souls?: Halide Edib's Politics and Her Pacifism as a Playwright
In this article, I discuss Halide Edib's play Masks or Souls (MOS) as anti-war literature composed by a Turkish female intellectual and activist who lived between the two World Wars. The article provides a more complete portrayal of Edib, who has often been reduced to a nationalist novelist. I contextualize the play and present evidence from MOS that Edib became a pacifist on the eve of the Second World War. Another war Edib fought was against some of the ideas within the military and intellectual circles of Turkey led by Mustafa Kemal. Through the comments of several characters in the play, Edib criticizes the reforms and westernization processes that took place immediately after the declaration of the Turkish Republic in 1923. It was plausible for Edib to be a nationalist and pacifist simultaneously as in the case of Gandhi, with whom Edib met during her stay in India in 1935. I argue that MOS remains a contemporary text that deserves closer attention especially due to its questioning of Europeanness, racism and modernization of non-Western cultures so the disappearance of the play is a curious phenomenon. What Edib meant by \"keeping the soul\" of people in order to have a peaceful world is also significant. I counter the neglect this play has suffered from by calling into question some of the nation- and region-based hierarchies prevalent in literary studies. (Author abstract)
