1960's horror
The document discusses horror films of the 1960s. Key developments included more low-budget gore films appearing, Night of the Living Dead challenging social taboos, and zombies beginning to consume human flesh by the late 1960s.

Comedy horror reemerged as well in films like The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The Crucible Background
The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a play about the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. It opened on Broadway in 1953 and is also an allegory for McCarthyism and the Red Scare of the 1950s. Miller drew parallels between the ritualistic hearings of the historical witch trials and those held by the House Un-American Activities Committee. He used the Salem trials as an allegory to shed light on the "hysteria" occurring in his own times.
Psicologia y zombies
Psychologists are interested in explaining cultural phenomena like zombies. Zombies are popular in films, games, and zombie walks involving thousands of people. There are a few psychological explanations for our fascination with zombies. One theory is that zombies represent our fear of death by displacing it onto a creature we can fight. Another view is from an evolutionary perspective, finding that zombies resemble real threats like those wanting to eat us, or their jerky movements and decomposing appearance trigger instinctive fears of predators and disease. Studies have found that successful horror films are those rated highest for evoking fears of predation and contagion.
Evaluation Question 3
Hammer Films would be a suitable distributor as they regularly produce similar thriller and horror genres. However, as a British institution, Hammer Films may not provide broad international recognition. 20th Century Fox would be a better choice as a major American studio that distributes globally. They have experience with thriller films and their recognizable logo would signal that the product is worth watching. Disney would not be a good fit as they focus on family-friendly content, whereas thrillers are not family oriented.

Horror is a genre intended to frighten or scare readers and viewers. The first horror film originated in 1896 by Georges Méliès, though the genre became most influential in the 1920s with German expressionist films. In the 1930s, Universal Studios brought famous monster films like Frankenstein to screens. The 1950s saw a rise in films about mad scientists and mutant creatures reflecting Cold War fears. Iconic 1960s films like Psycho and Night of the Living Dead increased violence and controversy. The 1970s tackled social issues, and films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre featured graphic violence. Slashers dominated the 1980s, while the 1990s saw critical successes like Silence of the Lambs and large-budget

Audience a2
The document summarizes several audience theories:
1) The hypodermic model suggests audiences passively absorb media messages without criticism, like a hypodermic needle. The 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast caused widespread panic, supporting this theory.
2) Cultivation theory argues heavy TV viewing shapes viewers' beliefs that the real world resembles TV depictions, like the perception that crime is increasing.
3) Desensitization theory claims repeated exposure to on-screen violence reduces sensitivity to real violence, shown through studies on video game players and the 1999 Columbine shooting.
4) Mimetic behavior theory proposes audiences may copy behaviors seen in media, discussed in relation to criminal acts and children mimicking TV
Question 4
Our thriller film would be well-suited for advertising in Empire magazine. Empire is a major British film magazine that advertises large blockbuster movies as well as independent films.

Empire previously advertised the film Silent Hill, which featured the actress Jodelle Ferland who also appears in our film.

The document summarizes the horrors of the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany against Jewish people. It describes how the Nazis passed laws in 1935 stripping rights from Jews, the Kristallnacht pogrom in 1938, and Hitler's "Final Solution" beginning in 1941 to systematically murder 6 million Jews. Jews were sent to concentration camps where many died from starvation, disease, or execution. The only survivors were those strong enough to do slave labor. The document also mentions the internment of Japanese Americans during World War 2 and the subsequent apology by the US government in 1988.
Slow Database in your PHP stack? Don't blame the DBA!
Your users complain about the bad performance of your app or website? Developers blame the database? How can we find the cause for the performance hotspot?
Far too often the database is held responsible for performance or scalability problems. It seems to be main contributor to the overall web request response time. However, in many cases it’s not the database itself, but the way, how the application is using the database! Too many database statements, inefficient queries and poor index selection are among the common problem patterns.
Based on real life examples, you will learn how to approach performance problems, how to figure out if the database is really to blame and how to end the finger pointing between developers and DBAs.

Geophysics: Detecting Stress in Mines
This report details research into using geophysical methods to detect stress changes in underground mines. Researchers used seismic tomography to map changes in seismic wave velocities as stress was applied to a mine pillar using hydraulic jacks. Electromagnetic emissions were also measured using antennas as stress increased. Seismic velocities decreased as stress rose, indicating the methods can detect stress changes. Higher frequency electromagnetic signals were detected from antennas near the pressurized pillar, supporting the hypothesis that stressed rock emits electromagnetic waves. The results suggest geophysical methods may help monitor rock stress and failure in mines.

This document discusses how social media platforms play a significant role in shaping individuals' self-image and how others perceive them. It explores how on social media, people curate idealized versions of themselves by selectively sharing only positive aspects of their lives. However, everything posted online contributes to one's digital identity and can impact opportunities. The document also examines debates around whether social media promotes narcissism or healthy self-esteem, and notes that how one leverages social platforms affects these outcomes. Ultimately, social media allows people to craft digital self-portraits that may or may not accurately reflect who they are offline.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole⋆
Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of ‘turning on’. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1−W2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ∼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ∼ 106M⊙ AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: active– accretion, accretion discs– galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4
Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023.
