Ask an Expert 2020 ASK AN EXPERT March 16 – June 6, 2020 Introduction On March 15 of last year, members of the Bard community turned to each other through the college Listserv with a mixture of anxiety, frustration, anger, and urgency: a global pandemic had been declared by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the day of the last in-person faculty meeting on campus. Both SUNY/CUNY had transitioned to distance learning on March 11 for the remainder of the semester and on March 16, Governor Andrew Cuomo was to sign an executive order closing all schools statewide. March 15 was a Sunday: students, faculty, and staff were struggling to understand the unfolding crisis. People couldn’t be tested; illness was reported but undiagnosed. Understanding transmission of COVID-19 was partial, at best, and communication challenging. Colleagues called upon one another to share information, to assist with risk assessment, and to help shape Bard’s emergency planning. The Response Team came together early on in the crisis, remaining a steady, calm, and authoritative source of truth for students and employees to consult as they adapted to life in the time of coronavirus. Various working groups were formed to build out policy and communication even as everyone navigated a disrupted, disorienting spring semester. In that moment in the middle of March, a series of emails brought together a wide range of Bardians to share what they knew—or were learning—about COVID-19. In what became “Ask an Expert,” a suite of essays was posted, nearly daily, between March 16 and June 6, 2020. The collection serves as a time capsule of sorts, three months’ worth of conversation at the beginning of what would turn into a very “long haul” indeed. Reading these entries now, a full year later, we can recollect acute confusion over masks, testing, and therapies. And we can measure the magnitude of hardship and loss—felt so unevenly and inequitably as we were soon to discover—by Bard people and their families, friends, neighbors over this past year. I want to thank Felicia Keesing for starting this series and to acknowledge the generosity of so many experts (many of whom challenged us to be skeptical of expertise) who took the time to share their own questions, knowledge, insight, and humanity with Bardians near and far.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

    Headache Series Editor: Paolo Martelletti Vincenzo Guidetti Marco A. Arruda Aynur Ozge Editors Headache and Comorbidities in Childhood and Adolescence Headache Series Editor Paolo Martelletti Roma, Italy [email protected] The purpose of this Series, endorsed by the European Headache Federation (EHF), is to describe in detail all aspects of headache disorders that are of importance in primary care and the hospital setting, including pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, comorbidities, and issues in particular patient groups. A key feature of the Series is its multidisciplinary approach, and it will have wide appeal to internists, rheumatologists, neurologists, pain doctors, general practitioners, primary care givers, and pediatricians. Readers will find that the Series assists not only in understanding, recognizing, and treating the primary headache disorders, but also in identifying the potentially dangerous underlying causes of secondary headache disorders and avoiding mismanagement and overuse of medications for acute headache, which are major risk factors for disease aggravation. Each volume is designed to meet the needs of both more experienced professionals and medical students, residents, and trainees.

Knight Department of German Duke University Date:_____March 1, 2011_______ Approved: ___________________________ William Collins Donahue, Supervisor ___________________________ Matthew Cohen ___________________________ Jochen Vogt ___________________________ Jakob Norberg An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of German in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright by Mary L. Knight 2011 Abstract This study investigates how an ambivalence surrounding men and masculinity has been expressed and exploited in Pop literature since the late 1980s, focusing on works by German-speaking authors Christian Kracht and Benjamin Lebert and American author Bret Easton Ellis. I compare works from the United States with German and Swiss novels in an attempt to reveal the scope – as well as the national particularities – of these troubled gender identities and what it means in the context of recent debates about a “crisis” in masculinity in Western societies. My comparative work will also highlight the ways in which these particular literatures and cultures intersect, invade, and influence each other. In this examination, I demonstrate the complexity and success of the critical projects subsumed in the works of three authors too often underestimated by intellectual communities.

  • The Effect of Aerobic Exercise on the Number of Migraine Days, Duration
    Lemmens et al. The Journal of Headache and Pain (2019) 20:16 The Journal of Headache https://doi.org/10.1186/s10194-019-0961-8 and Pain REVIEWARTICLE Open Access The effect of aerobic exercise on the number of migraine days, duration and pain intensity in migraine: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis Joris Lemmens1, Joke De Pauw1, Timia Van Soom1, Sarah Michiels1,2,3, Jan Versijpt4, Eric van Breda1, René Castien5,6 and Willem De Hertogh1* Abstract Background: In patients with frequent migraine, prophylactic treatments are used. Patients often request non- pharmacological alternatives. One treatment option can be aerobic exercise. The value of aerobic exercise as prophylactic treatment however needs to be determined. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to investigate the result of aerobic exercise on the number of migraine days, duration and pain intensity in patients with migraine. After screening three online databases, PubMed, Cochrane library and Web of Science, using predefined in- and exclusion criteria, six studies were retained. Pooling of data was performed when possible. Results: Significant reductions in the number of migraine days after aerobic exercise treatment were found with a mean reduction of 0.6 ± 0.3 migraine days/month. Other outcomes were too variable to pool due to heterogeneity of outcome measurements. Unpooled data revealed small to moderate reductions in attack duration (20–27%) and pain intensity (20–54%) after aerobic exercise intervention. Various exercise intensities are applied. Conclusion: There is moderate quality evidence that in patients with migraine aerobic exercise therapy can decrease the number of migraine days.
