No full textDiese Dissertationsschrift untersucht die historische Fotoausstellung The Family of Man und setzt sie in einen kontextuellen Dialog mit der Teutloff Collection, einer privaten zeitgenössischen Fotosammlung, mit dem Ziel eine dauerhafte dialogische Präsentation beider Sammlungen zu befördern und für zukünftige Diskussionen zu öffnen.The Family of Man, von Edward Steichen für das Museum of Modern Art, New York, konzipiert und 1955 eröffnet, ging bis 1965 als Wanderausstellung um die Welt und gilt als einflußreichstes Fotoprojekt des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit ihrer pazifistischen Ausrichtung kann die bildgewaltige Installation auch als Visualisierung der Menschenrechtsdeklaration der Vereinten Nationen von 1948 gesehen werden. Die letzte vollständige Kopie wurde auf Wunsch Steichens seinem Geburtsland Luxemburg übergeben. Kuratorisch und konservatorisch betreut wird sie von den Steichen Collections CNA (Centre National de lAudiovisuel), dem staatlich geführten nationalen Zentrum für audiovisuelle Kunst Luxemburgs. Im Jahre 2003 kam The Family of Man auf die Liste des UNESCO Weltdokumentenerbes und wird auf Schloss Clervaux, Luxemburg, ausgestellt.The Family of Man hat Generationen von Kulturschaffenden beeinflusst. Sie inspirierte auch Lutz Teutloff, der unter dem Titel The Contemporary Family of Man eine Sammlung humanistischer Fotografie als zeitgenössische Antwort auf Edward Steichens Opus Magnum aufbaute. Nach Teutloffs Tod gelang der Autorin die erfolgreiche Vermittlung und Übergabe eines großen Teils der Sammlung an das CNA. Mit der Sicherung dieser privaten Fotosammlung für die Öffentlichkeit durch die Übernahme der Steichen Collections CNA und der geplanten dialogischen Präsentation gelingt ein Brückenschlag zu einem UNESCO Weltdokumentenerbe, der auf beide Sammlungen einen neuen Fokus setzt.This dissertation paper examines the historical photographic exhibition of The Family of Man and places it in contextual dialogue with the Teutloff Collection, a private contemporary photographic collection, with the aim of promoting a permanent dialogical presentation of both collections and opening it up for future discussion.The Family of Man, conceived by Edward Steichen for the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and opened in 1955, went around the world as a travelling exhibition until 1965 and is considered the most influential photographic project of the 20th century. With its pacifist orientation, the visually powerful installation can also be seen as a visualisation of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. At Steichen's request, the last complete copy was given to his country of birth, Luxembourg. It is curated and conserved by Steichen Collections CNA (Centre National de l'Audiovisuel), Luxembourg's state-run national centre for audiovisual art. In 2003, The Family of Man was added to the UNESCO World Documentary Heritage List and is exhibited at Clervaux Castle, Luxembourg.The Family of Man has influenced generations of cultural practitioners. It also inspired Lutz Teutloff who built a collection of humanist photography under the title The Contemporary Family of Man as a contemporary response to Edward Steichen's Opus Magnum. After Teutloff's death, the author successfully brokered and transferred a large part of the collection to the CNA. By securing this private photo collection for the public through the acquisition of the Steichen Collections CNA and the planned dialogical presentation, a bridge to a UNESCO World Documentary Heritage is being built that places a new focus on both collections.von Sabine Weichel ; Erste Gutachterin: Prof. Dr. Jutta Ströter-Bender (Universität Paderborn), Zweiter Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Bender (Universität Bayreuth)Tag der Verteidigung: 28.11.2018Universität Paderborn, Dissertation, 201

Water vapor transmittance models for narrow bands in the 13 to 19. mu. m spectral region
No full textThe purpose of this report is to document the development of water vapor transmittance models for narrow bands (satellite sensor channels) in the 13 to 19 ..mu..m spectral region. The models are the result of research efforts of the author in 1971-1972 while on active duty with the US Air Force at the Air Force Global Weather Central (AFGWC). The models were developed for application in studies involving a temperature profiling sensor system carried aboard the satellites of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), formerly DAPP. Recently, (Lovill et al., 1978; Luther et al., 1981) the models were implemented for studies concerned with methodologies to retrieve total atmospheric column ozone from measurements of newer DMSP Block 5D series satellite sensors with similar channels (see Nichols, 1975)
Inferring semantic mapping between policies and code : the clue is in the language
No full textA common misstep in the development of security and privacy solutions is the failure to keep the demands resulting from high-level policies in line with the actual implementation that is supposed to operationalize those policies. This is especially problematic in the domain of social networks, where software typically predates policies and then evolves alongside its user base and any changes in policies that arise from their interactions with (and the demands that they place on) the system. Our contribution targets this specific problem, drawing together the assurances actually presented to users in the form of policies and the large codebases with which developers work. We demonstrate that a mapping between policies and code can be inferred from the semantics of the natural language. These semantics manifest not only in the policy statements but also coding conventions. Our technique, implemented in a tool (CASTOR), can infer semantic mappings with F1 accuracy of 70 % and 78 % for two social networks, Diaspora and Friendica respectively – as compared with a ground truth mapping established through manual examination of the policies and code
Canada and peacebuilding: human security in practice?
No full textCanada has embarked on a new approach to security in the post-Cold War era. Through its Minister for Foreign Affairs, Lloyd Axworthy, Canada has championed the concept of human security. This paper analyses Canada's successes and failures with regard to each of the seven components of human security. The opening chapter of this paper analyses human security from the Canadian perspective. The chapter outlines the traditional definition of security that Canada followed during the Cold War and the redefinition that occurred in the post-Cold War era. The chapter then describes how the theory of human security is being put into practice by Canada through peacebuilding initiatives. The second chapter provides a checklist of the seven components that make up human security and Canada's efforts in relation to each component. The seven components of human security that are analysed are economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political. Canada has made positive progress on some of the components of human security. However, for the most part Canada's human security efforts suffer from a severe lack of funding. Canada does not contribute nearly as many financial resources as other like-minded nations and is in serious danger of losing its good international reputation if it continues to shrink its commitments financially.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b119307
Celtic F.C.'s use of the past
No full textThis paper examines how the Scottish football club Celtic F.C. and their supporters use their common past in the present and is based around the thesis: “How does the Scottish football club Celtic F.C. and their supporters use key events in their history to create the story about themselves in 2016?”The way of using the past in the present is a new wave in Danish academic historical writing and is called use of the past or use of history. By including the Danish historian Bernard Eric Jensen’s theory about use of the past and his key concepts about memory and oblivion, sites of remembrance and importance of identity, on Celtic F.C. as a case, we tend to understand how and why football clubs and their supporters have a tendency to use the past as an identity creating factor in modern days.In our project we have mainly worked with the book “The Official History of Celtic F.C.” by Brian Wilson, Celtic F.C.’s official website, selected news articles and an online fan-generated encyclopedia, called “The Celtic Wiki”. Looking at selected key episodes in the club’s 129-year-old history, we try to show how both the club and fans use the past in the present. Some of the major themes in our analysis are the club’s values, tributes to the club’s history and segregation in the Scottish community.Our project’s conclusion is centered on the fact that the club chooses to use certain parts of the past and leaves out other events. The included parts of the history is mainly positive and in accordance to the club’s values, because the club wants to appear as a successful and charitable club
