Kung Magnus testamente. En fornrysk skrift om kung Magnus Eriksson
No full textAndrej Scheglov, Institute of World History, Russian Academy of Sciences The Testament of King Magnus: An Old Russian Text about King Magnus Eriksson. Translation and introduction by Andrej Scheglov (Kung Magnus testamente. En fornrysk skrift om kung Magnus Eriksson, Översättning och inledning av Andrej Scheglov) How did the Russians perceive Sweden in the Middle Ages? One important source is the socalled Testament of King Magnus (Rukopisanie korolya Magnusha), an Old Russian text about Magnus Eriksson, King of Sweden (1319–1364). It says that King Magnus suffered a shipwreck but was saved by Russian monks and became a Russian monk himself. King Magnus is said to admonish the Swedes that they should never invade Russia, and he reminds the Swedes of the failures of the Swedish rulers who violated peace treaties that had been concluded with the Russians. Modern scholars have translated The Testament of King Magnus into Swedish and Danish. However, one of the most important versions of this document, the so-called Moscow version, has never been translated into any Nordic language. The present publication fills this gap and provides an annotated Swedish translation of the Moscow version. An interesting feature of The Testament of King Magnus is that the Swedish king speaks in the first person: he tells the readers about his campaign against Russia, about his sufferings and misfortunes, and about the defeats of his predecessors who invaded Russia. Parallels to this feature can be found in medieval Swedish and Danish texts – in particular, in the Small Rhymed Chronicle (Lilla Rimkrönikan) and in the so-called Danish Rhymed Chronicle (Den danske rimkrønike) where Swedish and Danish kings describe their lives and their mistakes in a similar way. I suggest that this similarity between these Scandinavian texts and The Testament of King Magnus could be a result of Scandinavian influence on Russian medieval culture

A disobedient sodomite : Magnus Eriksson and the concept of heteronormative kingship
No full textThis article discusses how accusations of sodomy were used as a political weapon during the late Middle Ages. With St. Birgitta's accusations of sodomy against the Swedish king Magnus Eriksson in the I36os as a starting point,we study how sodomy was used as political propaganda and why it was effective. We argue that these allegations must be seen as part of a wider European political pattern. Numerous cases of similar charges can be found throughout late medieval Europe. All arise in troublesome political situations when the power struggle between king and aristocracy had reached a high point. We claim that a queer reading of the medieval texts reveals the great importance of heteronormative sexuality manifested in marital intimacy. To diverge from what we call a heteronormative kingship was regarded so seriously that it could be the very foundation of criticism against a king. The sodomite was an established figure of thought that captured all the faults of king Magnus Eriksson: his heresy, his thoughtlessness, his lasciviousness, his indecisiveness and his inclination to keep young and depraved men as advisors. The sodomite threatened the gender order and by doing so he jeopardized the entire social order. In other words, the accusations of sodomy made it possible for Magnus'critics to articulate his inability to be master in his own marriage and consequently master of his realm. A sodomite was clearly not suited to be king and the charges of sodomy could thus be used to justify a dethronement.</p
Magnus Eriksson An Approach to Software Product Line Use Case Modeling
No full textOrganizations developing software intensive defense systems are today faced with a number challenges related to characteristics of both the market place and the system domain: 1. Systems grow ever more complex, consisting of tightly integrated mechanical, electrical/electronic and software components. 2. Systems are often developed in short series; ranging from only a few to a few hundred units. 3. Systems have very long life spans, typically 30 years or longer. 4. Systems are developed with high commonality between different customers; however systems are always customized for specific needs. The goal of the research presented in this thesis is to investigate methods and tools to enable efficient development and maintenance of systems in such a context. The strategy adopted in this work is to utilize the forth system characteristic, high commonality, to achieve this
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
