The Ubaid Period : Evidence of Architectural Planning and the Use of a Standard Unit of Measurement - the "Ubaid cubit" in Mesopotamia
No full textBy analyzing a number of Ubaid buildings, we find that the Ubaid architects used a standard unit of measurement of 72 cm in the design and laying out of many of their important buildings. Also they were familiar with numerous geometric principles such as the 3:4:5 and 5 : 12 : 13 triangles.L'analyse d'un certain nombre de constructions obeidiennes nous amène à constater que les architectes de cette époque utilisaient une unité de mesure de 72 cm pour concevoir et implanter les plus importants de leurs bâtiments. Ils connaissaient également de nombreuses propriétés géométriques, comme celles des triangles de type 3 : 4 : 5 et 5 : 12 : 13.Kubba Shamil.

Panniculitis with vasculitis
No full textPanniculitides encompass a great number of different entities; however, once a vasculitis has been detected histopathologically within the subcutaneous tissue, the differential diagnosis is mainly restricted to polyarteritis (panarteritis) nodosa (PAN), nodular vasculitis (NV), and Bazin's erythema induratum (EI). Patients with PAN may have the disease confined to the skin, but must be followed over a long period because many of them develop late systemic disease. The NV/EI group represents by far the most common type of lobular panniculitis with vasculitis; we prefer keeping the distinction between the two entities by underlining the equation NV positive tuberculin skin test = EI. Other lobular panniculitides with vasculitis are exceedingly rare and set in a systemic background which can be infectious (lepromatous leprosy panniculitides) or autoimmune/dysreactive (neutrophilic lobular panniculitis in rheumatoid arthritis, lobular panniculitis in inflammatory bowel disease)
BEING ON THIS BOAT IS NOT REVENGE
No full textThis is the second output of Alias Domains, a research collaboration with co-investigator Sukaina Kubba ([email protected]). This was a radio production commissioned by Radiophrenia/CCA as a main feature of the Live To Air Festival and co-funded by Canada Council for The Arts.
This consisted of a series of live radio performances and a recording, applying aspects of our research to current thinking around identity by exploring poet-philosopher Édouard Glissant' s alternative: relation. The format of the event evoked Glissant’s multifaceted sensibility by combining choreographed readings, sound and music to invoke responses and discussions around the politics of identity and social class amongst fellow contributors and wider audiences
MINUS TARGET - ALIAS DOMAINES
No full textThis was the first output of Alias Domains a research collaboration with co-investigator Sukaina Kubba. We were commissioned to contribute an sound and video work, applying aspects of our research to current thinking around identity by exploring poet-philosopher Édouard Glissant' s alternative: relation. The event proposed to enact Glissant's concept of “Le Tout-Monde" (Whole-World or One World) in order to allow new imaginaries to flow. Curated by Pamela Edmonds, Wanda Nanibush and Catherine Sicot.
The format of the event evoked Glissant’s multifaceted sensibility by combining experimental films, choreographed readings, sound and music pieces, interactive games, theoretical responses and discussions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Carbon-Mercury: Thinking Through Holes
No full textA collaborative online Performance by Becky Sik and Sukaina Kubba for Collective Gallery, Edinburgh. The reading was a creative response to Becky Šik’s exhibition Mercury and the research practices of both Artists.
This online event drew upon the theoretical-fiction novel Cyclonopedia by Reza Negarestani, and its idea of ‘plot-holes’ and ‘Hidden Writing’ to weave their shared interests through a public reading.
'More than a mere interdisciplinary investigation, Hidden Writing suggests a politics of contribution to, or participation with, perforated structures… Reading through the plot holes of a story is possible only by devising a line capable of twisting in and out of them.'
Cyclonopedia, Reza Negarestani
The exhibition and online performance was commissioned by Collective Gallery and supported by Creative Scotland, Baillie Gifford, Esmée Fairbairn, Royal Scottish Academy and The Bothy Project
BEING ON THE BOAT IS NOT REVENGE (Version 2)
No full textThis is the third output of Alias Domains, a research collaboration with co-investigator Sukaina Kubba ([email protected]). This commissioned piece was performed and broadcast live on FM as part of Resonating Nordnes day, with a recorded version available through their curated Radio Space broadcast from 16-31 March online via www.borealisfestival.no - this year only featuring 6 works.
Also co-funded by Canada Council for The Arts.
This consisted of a live radio performance and a recording, applying aspects of our research to current thinking around identity by exploring poet-philosopher Édouard Glissant' s alternative: relation.

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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
AS YOU WERE
No full textAS YOU WERE was a multi-disciplinary production and installation that involved a critical examination of militaristic power relations and their sublimation by fashion and the wider culture industry. Uniforms and a modular mise-en-scene served as a means of supressing individuality, concealing hierarchy and gender, and as symbolic devices.
AS YOU WERE acted as an autonomous territory or arena for the examination of disciplinary power and its means of conditioning behaviour through modes of production and consumption. It took the form of a multi-disciplinary art production by the collective Opera Autonoma, directed by Craig Mulholland, Sukaina Kubba and Carmel O’Brien, functioning both as a live performance event, static multi-media installation and video work. Opera Autonoma, is an artist collective founded by Craig Mulholland in 2013, that seeks to interface disparate disciplines using modular approaches to production. Opera Autonoma were recipients of the Open Fund for Glasgow International 2014, and along with additional RDF funding from The Glasgow School of Art, manifested their first production Gymnasia, directed by Craig Mulholland. This project, presented as an installation consolidating 24 works or components, was the resulting output from research and development by Opera Autonoma with Craig Mulholland as the principle investigator. As part of the wider Glasgow International Art Festival 2016 it was delivered as a partnership between Koppe Astner, Vitrine London and the GI 2016 Cultural Programme. The GI programme is a biennale event providing a world-class, international showcase and networking context for over 90 events and 80 exhibitions. Deepen and develop artistic discourse between locally and internationally based artists and audiences through talks, events and visits. AS YOU WERE will be further expanded through the production of a video/audio archive work to be screened in Scotland, internationally and online. The concept emerges from a continuing dialogue with artists Sukaina Kubba and designer Carmel O’Brien, exploring intersections between painting, design, AV, 3D printing and installation
