No full textInfrastructures of Soviet Underground Culture
No full textInstitutions of the late Soviet underground (here understood following Peter Bürger as the norms governing the production and reception of works of art) consisted of atypical, small-scale, ephemeral, self-organized infrastructures such as, for example, samizdat periodicals, readings, exhibitions, conferences held in private apartments. Geographically not limited to Moscow and Leningrad, they allowed participants to carry on their creative activities in an uncensored way; nevertheless, they were shaped in a complex dialectic with highbrown, authoritative forms such as thick journals or academic seminars. Alter native topographies were established and symbolically charged places were temporarily taken and appropriated. In the second half of the 1970s underground institutions under went a gradual process of consolidation and served to the conceptualization of the so- called second culture in reference to neglected pre-revolutionary legacy and to Soviet of ficial culture
Regression games
No full textThe solution of a TU cooperative game can be a distribution of the value of the grand coalition, i.e. it can be a distribution of the payo (utility) all the players together achieve. In a regression model, the evaluation of the explanatory variables can be a distribution of the overall t, i.e. the t of the model every regressor variable is involved. Furthermore, we can take regression models as TU cooperative games where the explanatory (regressor) variables are the players. In this paper we introduce the class of regression games, characterize it and apply the Shapley value to evaluating the explanatory variables in regression models. In order to support our approach we consider Young (1985)'s axiomatization of the Shapley value, and conclude that the Shapley value is a reasonable tool to evaluate the explanatory variables of regression models
Algumas caracterísitcas da pós-modernidade na concepção de Gilles Lipovetsky
No full textEste trabalho tem como objetivo esclarecer a concepção de Lipovetsky sobre a pós-modernidade, descrever o que se entende com os termos modernidade e pós-modernidade e o tipo de sociedade que dela emerge. O pós-moderno trata-se, em resumo, de uma época em mudança, caracterizada por uma sociedade fluida, marcada por muitos contrastes, uma sociedade mais tolerante onde uma ampla variedade de estilos de vida diferentes entre si coabitam e em que se exacerbam os valores herdados da modernidade. O pós-modernismo, termômetro dessa mudança, eleva-se como uma fase de transição complexa para um novo tipo de sociedade denominada por Lipovetsky de hipermoderna e, sob a ótica do consumo, ela ainda pode ser descrita como a sociedade do hiperconsumo. Ao mesmo tempo em que o capítulo assinala algumas características de nossa época, também são apontadas notas que caracterizam o modo de vida do indivíduo contemporâneo.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
