    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

    First evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)

    b-Generalized Skew Derivations on Multilinear Polynomials in Prime Rings

    No full text
    Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, Qr be its right Martindale quotient ring and C be its extended centroid. In this paper we define b-generalized skew derivations of prime rings. Then we describe all possible forms of two b-generalized skew derivations F and G satisfying the condition F(x)x − xG(x) = 0, for all x ∈ S, where S is the set of the evaluations of a multilinear polynomial f(x1, ..., xn) over C with n non-commuting variables. Several potential research topics related to our current work are also presented. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG

    CURRENT PROBLEMS OF THE SCIENCE OF LAW: A CIVILIST’S VIEW. REVIEW OF THE MONOGRAPH OF V. F. POPONDOPULO “HUMAN ACTIVITY: LEGAL FORMS OF IMPLEMENTATION AND PUBLIC ORGANIZATION” (M.: PROSPECT, 2021. 736 P.)

    No full text
    The article provides a detailed analysis of the monograph V. F. Popondopulo “Human activity: legal forms of implementation and a public organization”. The review author notes the relevance of the monograph, its integrated and comprehensive nature, allowing to deeply explore the phenomenon of human activity as the basis of law enforcement. According to the author, the concept developed by V. F. Popondopulo has a high scientific and practical value, since it lays the foundation of the theory of law that promotes the crisis of the theoretical and methodological foundations of sectoral legal sciences, primarily the science of civil law. Even though in the monograph V. F. Popondopulo present certain discussion provisions, they, according to the author, not only do not reduce the values of the study, but also stimulate an in-depth study of the problems considered in the study

    Multivariate Polarimetric Bistatic Clutter Statistical Analysis

    No full text
    This paper deals with the analysis of simultaneously collected co- and cross-polarized bistatic sea-clutter returns with special emphasis on their representation as a Spherically Invari-ant Random Process (SIRP). The study is conducted by using appropriate testing procedures involving the complex envelope of the measured data that provide both first- and higher-order compatibility conditions. The results highlight that the SIRP model is a good candidate for the representation of bistatic coherent clutter, and usually the coherence time of the SIRP texture is longer than that in the monostatic case.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Microwave Sensing, Signals & System

There is some evidence that acquired or hereditary prothrombotic disorders are risk factors for LST. The aim of this work was to evaluate the role of thrombotic screening, anticoagulant therapy or prophylaxis in patients with either acute or chronic otitis media and LST. The medical records of five children hospitalized at Pediatric Hospital Bambino Gesu of Rome because of acute or chronic otitis media complicated by mastoiditis and LST were reviewed. All children underwent laboratory workup for hypercoagulability. All the five children were found to be heterozygote for the C677T MTHFR mutation and a child presented also heterozygosity for factor V Leiden mutation. They have been successfully treated with anticoagulant therapy without sequels. Children with acute or chronic otitis media may have a prothrombotic tendency that becomes clinically evident because of the inflammatory state. Patients with a family and/or personal history of thrombosis and/or thrombophilic conditions need anticoagulant prophylaxis also in the absence of clear signs of LST. Treatment with low molecular weight is successful in patients with LST. Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis 23:158-163 (C) 2012 Wolters Kluwer Health vertical bar Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

    F. M. Dostoevsky in the memoirs of V. S. Solovyov

    В статье проанализированы средства изображения образа Ф. М. Достоевского в мемуарах Вс. С. Соловьева. Показано, что, несмотря на близость религиозно-философских взглядов Ф. М. Достоевского и Вс. С. Соловьева, последний не понимает специфики творческого почерка гениального современника, природы его «реализма в высшем смысле». В интерпретации произведений другого автора Вс. С. Соловьев не смог занять позицию вненаходимости, отстраниться от собственного писательского опыта.The article analyzes that the image of F. M. Dostoevsky – a man and a writer – in the memoirs of V. S. Solovyov. It’s shown that, despite the closeness of the religious and philosophical views of F. M. Dostoevsky and V. S. Solovyov, the latter doesn’t understand the specifics of the creative style of a genius contemporary, the nature of his «realism in the highest sense». In the interpretation of the works of another author, V. S. Soloviev couldn’t take the position of being outside, to distance himself from his own writing experience
