The everyday world of bouncers: a rehabilitated role for covert ethnography

© 2018, The Author(s) 2018. The focus of this article is on the everyday world of bouncers in the night-time economy of Manchester, England. The structure of the article is to contextualise my covert passing in this demonized subculture followed by explorations of the everyday world of bouncers through the related concepts of door order and the bouncer self. A part of the article is an examination of the management of situated ‘ethical moments’ during the fieldwork and, more generally, critical reflections on emotionality, embodiment and risk-taking in ethnography. I also reflect on the retrospective and longitudinal nature of my fieldwork immersion, and both the data management challenges and possibilities this brings. Covert ethnography can be a creative part of the ethnographer’s tool kit and can provide an alternative perspective on subcultures, settings and organisations. By overly frowning upon the apparent ethical transgressions of covert research, we can stifle and censor the sociological imagination rather than enhance it. My call is for a rehabilitation of covert research

Observation of substrate diffusion and ligand binding in enzyme crystals using high-repetition-rate mix-and-inject serial crystallography

18 pags, 11 figs, 5 tabsHere, we illustrate what happens inside the catalytic cleft of an enzyme when substrate or ligand binds on single-millisecond timescales. The initial phase of the enzymatic cycle is observed with near-atomic resolution using the most advanced X-ray source currently available: the European XFEL (EuXFEL). The high repetition rate of the EuXFEL combined with our mix-and-inject technology enables the initial phase of ceftriaxone binding to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis β-lactamase to be followed using time-resolved crystallography in real time. It is shown how a diffusion coefficient in enzyme crystals can be derived directly from the X-ray data, enabling the determination of ligand and enzyme-ligand concentrations at any position in the crystal volume as a function of time. In addition, the structure of the irreversible inhibitor sulbactam bound to the enzyme at a 66 ms time delay after mixing is described. This demonstrates that the EuXFEL can be used as an important tool for biomedically relevant research.This work was supported by the National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center 'BioXFEL' through award STC-1231306, and in part by the US Department of Energy, Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences under contract DESC0002164 (AO, algorithm design and development) and by the National Science Foundation under contract Nos. 1551489 (AO, underlying analytical models) and DBI-2029533 (AO, functional conformations).

Применение программного продукта «Яндекс.Сервер» для организации поиска в электронном каталоге библиотеки

The huge amounts of information accumulated by libraries in recent years put before developers a problem of the organization of fast and qualitative search which decision is possible with the use of modern search tools of Web-technology. The author examines one of these tools the software product “Yandex. Server”, allowing to organize optimum search in the electronic library catalog. The software product “Yandex. Server” gives a chance to carry out optimum search taking into account morphology of Russian and English languages, as well as the various logical conditions that provides effective and flexible search in the electronic library catalog.Накопленные библиотеками за последние годы огромные массивы информации ставят перед разработчиками задачу организации быстрого и качественного поиска, решение которой возможно с использованием современных поисковых инструментов веб-технологии. Автор рассматривает один из таких инструментов - программный продукт «Яндекс. Сервер», позволяющий организовать оптимальный поиск в электронном каталоге библиотеки с учетом морфологии русского и английского языков, а также различных логических условий
