Poe's biopics : representations of the author in D.W. Griffith's Edgar Allen Poe and James Mcteigue's The raven
No full textLiterary biopics often reinforce romantic images regarding the creative process, emphasizing biographic and author-centered approaches to literature previously denounced by Roland Barthes (1977). Curiously, one of the most famous critics of such romantic conceptions, Edgar Allan Poe, has himself been a victim of this very same treatment, his literary production being taken as part and result of his controversial biography in a number of works. This article analyzes two biographical films, or biopics, about the renowned poet, D.W. Griffith’s Edgar Allen Poe (sic) (1909) and James McTeigue’s The Raven (2012). The analysis of these works indicates that both reinforce the merge of the artist’s life and oeuvre, as well as the blurring of borders between fact and fiction, author and character, high and mass culture, thus contributing to the characterization of the biopic as a fitting example of historiographic metafiction.

Author Correction:A cattle graph genome incorporating global breed diversity
No full textThe original version of this Article omitted from the author list the 12th and 13th authors Dennis Muhanguzi and Wilson Amanyire, who are from the ‘School of Biosecurity, Biotechnology and Laboratory Sciences (SBLS), College of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Resources and Biosecurity, Makerere University, P.O Box 7062, Kampala, Uganda’. Consequently, the final sentence of the Author Contributions incorrectly read ‘D.W., P.T., E.A.J.C., C.E., E.T.O., E.R.A., A. Tijjani, K.M., A.F., B.R.F., A.Q., U.C. and P.W. provided samples and expertise for the studies’. This has been replaced with ‘D.W., P.T., W.A., D.M., E.A.J.C., C.E., E.T.O., E.R.A., A.

Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)

Abdominal obesity is an independent risk factor for chronic heart failure in older people
No full textOBJECTIVES:
To examine whether total and abdominal adiposity are risk factors for the development of chronic heart failure (CHF) in older men and women.
DESIGN:
Prospective, longitudinal cohort: The Health, Aging and Body Composition study.
SETTING:
Memphis, Tennessee, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, metropolitan areas.
PARTICIPANTS:
Three thousand seventy-five well-functioning community-dwelling older adults aged 70 to 79.
MEASUREMENTS:
Body composition using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, visceral adipose tissue area using computed tomography, adjudicated CHF.
RESULTS:
Of the remaining (640 participants excluded from original group of 3,075) 2,435 participants (1,081 men, 1,354 women) without coronary heart disease or CHF at baseline, there were 166 confirmed diagnoses of CHF during the median+/-standard deviation (SD) follow-up of 6.1+/-1.4 years. After adjustment for age, race, sex, site, education, smoking, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, all adiposity variables (body mass index (BMI), adipose tissue mass, percentage body fat, waist-to-thigh ratio, waist circumference, and visceral and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue) were significant predictors of the development of CHF. In a model that included waist circumference and BMI, waist circumference was associated with incident CHF (hazard ratio (HR)=1.27, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.04-1.54 per SD increase, P=.02), but BMI was not (HR=1.08, 95% CI=0.86-1.35). When waist circumference and percentage fat were included together, both variables were significant predictors of CHF (waist: HR=1.17, 95% CI=1.00-1.36 per SD increase, P=.05; percentage fat: HR=1.47, 95% CI=1.16-1.87 per SD increase, P=.002). Stepwise adjustment for inflammation, hypertension, insulin resistance, and diabetes mellitus did not decrease the relative risk of a greater waist circumference for the development of CHF (all HR=1.27-1.32, 95% CI=1.02-1.61 per SD increase).
CONCLUSION:
Abdominal body fat distribution may be a stronger risk factor for CHF than overall obesity
Really New Stories: The Effect of Early Concept Narratives on Consumer Understanding and Attitudes
No full textReally New Stories typically describe a use setting and a main character - the hero - who is using a really new product. In this doctoral thesis, Ellis van den Hende explains why early consumer input during the development of really new products can be remarkably frustrating to new product managers and product developers. Ellis elucidates how Really New Stories can present information about the new product concept in a way that is evocative and relevant for consumers. She tests and discusses the positive effects of Really New Stories on consumer understanding and attitudes and provides practical guidelines to put Really New Stories to work. To summarize, she explains how Really New Stories successfully contribute to the new product development process. Ellis van den Hende (1981) received her graduate and postgraduate training in product development and innovation management at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Her research has been published in International scientific journals, such as the Journal of Product Innovation Management.
