Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works

No full textOBJECTIVES: Benign tracheal stenoses remain the most common indications for tracheal resection. We report lessons learned with surgical management of tracheal stenoses in a consecutive series of 65 patients from the beginning of our experience to date.
METHODS: From December 1991 to January 2001 65 patients underwent primary tracheal and laryngotracheal resection and reconstruction for non-neoplastic stenoses. There were 39 males and 26 females with a median age of 33 years (range 14-74 years). There were 58 cases of postintubation and seven of idiopathic stenosis. A cervical approach was used in 60 patients, and a cervical incision with sternal split in four and with sternotomy in one. We performed 45 (69.2%) tracheal resections and 20 (30.8%) laryngotracheal resections. The length of resection ranged between 1.5 and 4 cm (median 2.5 cm). The range of resected rings was two to eight (median five).
RESULTS: Fifty-four patients received a preoperative treatment. Preoperative procedures consisted of laser therapy (37), tracheostomy (38) and endotracheal prosthesis (16). We had major complications in eight patients (12.3%) and minor complications in 15 patients (23%). The most frequent complications were: temporary vocal cord dysfunction (eight patients), wound infection (five patients), anastomotic dehiscence (four patients), vocal cord paralysis (two patients), granulation tissue (two patients), deglutition dysfunction (one patient) and restenosis (one patient). Perioperative mortality was 1.5% (one patient). In classifying final results obtained, 54 patients achieved an excellent result, eight a good result and two satisfactory.
CONCLUSIONS: The strategy for treatment of airway stenoses is now well established and leads to a high level of success with minimal or no sequelae. Meticulous preoperative assessment and preparation associated with a perfect surgical technique is mandatory to obtain good results. Preoperative treatments (laser and/or endotracheal prosthesis) could increase the extent of injury and the length of stenosis
