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

Estimering av antall trombocytter i blodutstryk i CellaVision som verifiserende tiltak ved lave trombocyttverdier
No full textAnalysering av trombocytter (PLT) i fullblod er viktig for vurdering av blødningsrisiko, og korrekt prøveresultat er kritisk for å unngå feil medisinsk behandling. I dag benyttes impedansemetoden (PLT-I) som standard for telling av PLT ved avdeling for Medisinsk Biokjemi (AMB), St. Olavs hospital. Metoden er ikke feilfri og utfordringer kan oppstå ved lave PLT-verdier, aggregering og/eller tilstedeværelse av interferenter. Dette påvirker påliteligheten til prøvesvarene som kan bli både falskt for lave og falskt for høye. Mange prøvesvar krever dermed oppfølgende tiltak før de kan rapporteres. Ved AMB benyttes en fluorescensmetode (PLT-F) og en immunologisk metode med monoklonalt antistoff (CD61) som verifiserende tiltak. CD61 anses som fasitmetoden for telling av PLT ved AMB. Dette er dyre analyser, og det er dermed ønskelig å undersøke om en billigere og enklere metode for telling av antall PLT kan tas i bruk.
Målet med prosjektet var å finne ut om estimering av antall PLT i blodutstryk kan benyttes som alternativ til metodene som brukes ved AMB i dag; PLT-F og CD61. Dette er gjennomført ved å sammenligne PLT-verdier målt med metodene PLT-I og PLT-F i Sysmex XN20, CD61 i Celldyn Sapphire, og estimert antall PLT i blodutstryk i CellaVision, spesielt i lavt PLT-nivå. Det var også ønskelig å gjøre en sammenligning av dagens metoder, med CD61 som referansemetode. Prøvene som ble analysert var fullblod tatt av inneliggende pasienter under behandling på St. Olavs hospital, og ble analysert innen 24 timer.
Resultatene viser at uten tilstedeværelse av interferenter vil antall PLT målt med metodene PLT-F og CD61 samsvare godt i lave PLT-nivå, mens antall PLT målt med PLT-I vil gi systematisk høyere PLT-verdier. Ved interferensproblematikk i lavt PLT-nivå kan metodene PLT-I og PLT-F gi falskt for lave eller falskt for høye PLT-verdier i forhold til CD61. Våre funn viser at estimering av antall PLT i blodutstryk samsvarer godt med metodene som benyttes ved AMB i dag; PLT-I, PLT-F og CD61, i PLT-nivå <35x10^9/L. Presisjonen til estimering av antall PLT i blodutstryk, både i lavt og normalt PLT-nivå, viser seg å ligge over kravet på <3,0%.
Konklusjonen er at de eksisterende metodene benyttet ved AMB gir tilnærmet like PLT-verdier ved prøver uten interferenter, men at antall PLT målt med CD61 ser ut til å være den eneste korrekte metoden ved interferensproblematikk. Estimering av antall PLT i blodutstryk har god riktighet i lave PLT-nivå, men presisjonen er ikke innenfor oppgitt krav, og tyder på at metoden ikke er pålitelig nok til å kunne benyttes uten videre undersøkelser
À travers le supermarché
No full textLave, J. (1988). Through the Supermarket. In Cognition in practice. Mind, mathematics and culture in everyday life (chap. 7, pp. 145-169). Cambridge University Press.Note de la traductrice :Traduire Jean Lave -Le projet de cette traduction s’inscrit dans le prolongement de mes activités d’enseignement et de recherche au sein de l’équipe de Psychologie du Travail et de Clinique de l’Activité du Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, équipe que j’ai intégrée en 2016. Il s’adresse tant aux psychologues du travail et jeunes docteurs que nous formons qu’aux collègues enseignants-chercheurs. À ce titre, traduire le chapitre « Through the Supermaket » de l’ouvrage de Jean Lave, Cognition in practice. Mind, mathematics and culture and everyday life, amène, voire cherche à soutenir des échanges déjà entamées (Tomás et al., 2020) autour des nuances entre différentes conceptualisations ou « modèles » de l’activité. Plus particulièrement, les questions du rapport entre subjectivité et activité, celle de la subjectivation, de la construction et du développement du sujet aux prises avec une réalité sociale et matérielle qui lui résiste pourront trouver un écho certain au fil de la lecture de ce chapitre (par exemple celle des divisions imposées entre « science » et « pratique »).D’une manière plus générale, ce texte bénéficiera à un public francophone plus large, déjà familier avec le travail de l’auteure. Rappelons, que l’ouvrage dont est issu ce chapitre, a été publié pour la première fois en 1988. Il apporte une contribution significative à un mouvement de remise en question des modèles fonctionnalistes de la cognition et de l’action, dont les travaux de Suchman (1987) ou encore de Hutchins (1995) constituent également une critique.La singularité de la perspective dialectique de Jean Lave mérite d’être soulignée : il s’agit de penser la continuité et surtout la relation entre expérience individuelle et ordre social. Au cœur de cette continuité, toujours en mouvement, nous retrouvons l’activité d’un sujet agissant qui ne cesse de transformer ses conditions d’existence et dont l’activité est, somme toute, inséparable des ressources sociales et culturelles de son milieu de vie. À une époque où l’intelligence artificielle semble susciter autant d’espoirs que de craintes, cette figure d’un sujet, subjectivement et concrètement engagée dans et avec son milieu a toute sa pertinence.Parmi les concepts qu’utilise Jean Lave pour rendre compte de ce mouvement dialectique complexe, l’adjectif « gap-closing » (« qui comble les lacunes ») s’est progressivement constitué en objet de travail au fur et à mesure de cette traduction. Comme l’indique Jean Lave à plusieurs reprises, l’usage de ce terme est emprunté à Frédéric Bartlett (1958). Cet auteur propose une conceptualisation tout à fait originale de la « pensée quotidienne » : elle recouvrirait une gamme d’activités qui consistent à « combler des lacunes » dans les informations disponibles1. Jean Lave (1984) s’emparera du terme pour proposer une re-conceptualisation dialectique de la résolution des problèmes. Plutôt qu’un processus linéaire, elle le conçoit comme un mouvement progressif de co-construction du problème et de la solution. Nous avons choisi d’utiliser l’expression « arithmétique de remédiation » (« gap-closing arithmetic »), plutôt que « arithmétique informelle » ou « quotidienne » pour traduire ce processus.Parmi les traductions existantes de textes de Jean Lave celle de Dominique Ebnöther (1985), parue dans la revue Culture Technique, et celle de Philippe Gosselin (2009), parue dans la revue Techniques et Culture, à 24 ans d’intervalle, ont été d’un grand soutien pour mettre en forme ce travail. Enfin, je tiens à remercier le comité éditorial de la Revue d'Anthropologie des Connaissances ainsi que Matthieu Tixier pour leurs relectures attentives et instruites de versions précédentes de ce texte autant que pour leur soutien à ce projet.Bartlett, F.

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
Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
