Losing my revolution: How many resources shared on social media have been lost?
No full textSocial media content has grown exponentially in the recent years and the role of social media has evolved from just narrating life events to actually shaping them. In this paper we explore how many resources shared in social media are still available on the live web or in public web archives. By analyzing six different event-centric datasets of resources shared in social media in the period from June 2009 to March 2012, we found about 11% lost and 20% archived after just a year and an average of 27% lost and 41% archived after two and a half years. Furthermore, we found a nearly linear relationship between time of sharing of the resource and the percentage lost, with a slightly less linear relationship between time of sharing and archiving coverage of the resource. From this model we conclude that after the first year of publishing, nearly 11% of shared resources will be lost and after that we will continue to lose 0.02% per day

Nelson Rodrigues e sua cena: teatro da dupla tensão, cinema da síntese
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em LiteraturaEsta tese busca uma leitura possível das razões do fracasso de grande parte das adaptações da dramaturgia de Nelson Rodrigues para o cinema. Sua primeira investida percorre o teatro rodrigueano, elaborando o conceito de dupla tensão como marca do autor. A primeira tensão, articulada ainda nos domínios temáticos, responderia pelo embate firmado entre o Brasil anterior à gripe-espanhola e os "novos tempos", dominados por uma modernidade produtora de tripla decadência, como pensa Eric Hobsbawm. A segunda tensão, insinuada nos domínios estéticos, promoveria certo afastamento do conceito de drama puro, segundo teoria de Peter Szondi, ao se deixar contaminar por gêneros diversos, posicionando-se entre o melodramático e o trágico. Neste contexto, Toda nudez será castigada, peça de 1965, seria o ponto mais alto desta trajetória. Tal conformação, perseguida em todo o teatro do autor, não parece ter encontrado eco nas releituras do cinema, quase todas reducionistas do universo tensional. A única experiência de exceção parece acontecer na versão de Arnaldo Jabor justamente para Toda nudez será castigada, filme de 1973 que transforma em ritmo próprio as tensões típicas da dramaturgia rodrigueana, movimento contrário às outras versões, que tentaram corrigi-las com sínteses nas mais variadas proposições

Asset versus consumption poverty and poverty dynamics in the presence of multiple equilibria in rural Ethiopia
No full textEffective poverty reduction programs require careful measurement of poverty status. Several studies have shown conceptually that assets reflecting productive capacity form a more robust basis for identifying the poor than do flow variables such as expenditures or income. Nonetheless, little work has empirically compared poverty measurements based on assets and expenditures. This paper uses panel data from Ethiopia to generate an asset-based poverty classification scheme. Regression results are used to estimate an asset index and classify households into categories of structural poverty. Asset index dynamics are also explored to test for the existence of multiple asset index equilibria; evidence of potential poverty traps. Results provide evidence of multiple equilibria in the study sample as a whole as well as convergence at different levels over space, depending on commercialization opportunities and agroecological factors. The asset-based poverty classifications consistently predict future poverty status more accurately than do income-based measures, confirming that the asset-based measure could be used to more carefully target poverty interventions in rural areas and to more accurately assess the impact of those interventions.asset index, asset poverty, Commercialization, expenditures, income-based measures, index equilibria, Poverty dynamics, Poverty reduction, regression,
Simple Analyses of the Sparse Johnson-Lindenstrauss Transform
No full textFor every n-point subset X of Euclidean space and target distortion 1+eps for 0l_2^m where f(x) = Ax for A a matrix with m rows where (1) m = O((log n)/eps^2), and (2) each column of A is sparse, having only O(eps m) non-zero entries. Though the constructions given for such A in (Kane, Nelson, J. ACM 2014) are simple, the analyses are not, employing intricate combinatorial arguments. We here give two simple alternative proofs of their main result, involving no delicate combinatorics. One of these proofs has already been tested pedagogically, requiring slightly under forty minutes by the third author at a casual pace to cover all details in a blackboard course lecture
