Analýza projevů Mahua Moitra 2020-2021 v Lok Sabha
No full textWomen in parliament long seem to be limited to addressing only certain topics and issues - mostly those that have a 'female-centric' focus. This perspective has been backed by the idea that being women, they are more empathetic, compassionate, honest and liberal. This gives them a better insight into what females want and they are therefore better equipped to address these issues compared to their male counterparts. It is my perspective that female politicians should be looked at beyond this limited scope and addressed as legislators who represent the voice of all people and not only a specific demographic. Using the grounded theory through an exploratory case study method, this thesis focuses on Mahua Moitra and the speeches she made in the Lok Sabha in 2020- 2021. Through this analysis, the thesis gathers what she has contributed to the developing narrative of female political representation in India. Keywords Mahua Moitra, Speech Analysis, Lok Sabha, Female Political Representation in India, Female MPZdá se, že ženy v politice byly dlouho omezovány na řešení pouze určitých témat a problémů - většinou těch, které se zaměřují na ženy. Tento pohled byl podpořen myšlenkou, že političky jakožto ženy jsou empatičtější, soucitnější, čestnější a liberálnější.Tyto vlastnosti jsou předpokladem k tomu, že političky vědí, co ženy chtějí, a jsou proto lépe vybaveny k řešení těchto problémů ve srovnání s jejich mužskými protějšky. Zastávám názor, že na političky by se mělo přestat pohlížet prizmatem tohoto omezeného rámce, a naopak by se k nim mělo přistupovat jako k zákonodárcům, kteří zastupují hlas všech lidí, nejen pouze jedné konkrétní demografické skupiny. S využitím zakotvené teorie a prostřednictvím metody výzkumné případové studie se tato práce zaměřuje na Mahuau Moitru a její politické projevy v Lok Sabha v letech 2020-2021. Prostřednictvím této analýzy má prácepředstavuje, jakým způsobem Mahua Moitra přispěla k rozvoji narativu ženské politické reprezentace v Indii.

Historical Cultures under Conditions of Deindustrialization Working Group Report
No full textCrumbling smokestacks, shuttered furnaces, and abandoned quarries are all striking representations of deindustrialization. These and other images construct a discourse whose ideological undertones, far from confining them to the realm of symbolic nostalgia, have profound effects on contemporary societies. In 2015, within the European Labor History Network (ELHN), a working group on historical cultures of labor under conditions of deindustrialization (working group) began to critically study and reflect on this nascent theme. It grew from a small group of researchers to a network of academics across Europe and beyond. Though the study of deindustrialization is not new, contemporary work offers insights into the continuing struggle over the meaning of classical industrial work and its loss, revealing unresolved social, cultural, and political tensions. Yet, existing representations of deindustrialization have been criticized as “smokestack nostalgia.” In order to chart how we understand contemporary industrial decay in our political, cultural, and economic climate, the working group explores representations and more-than representations of loss and regeneration in deindustrialized regions, primarily in Europe but widening to include a growing global network
Accurate Description of Photoionization Dynamical Parameters
No full textCalculation of dynamical parameters for photoionization requires an accurate description of the initial and final states of the system, as well as of the outgoing electron. We show that using a linear combination of atomic orbitals B-spline density functional theory (DFT) method to describe the outgoing electron, in combination with correlated equation of motion coupled cluster singles and double Dyson orbitals, gives good agreement with experiment and outperforms other simpler approaches, like plane and Coulomb waves, used to describe the photoelectron. Results are presented for cross-sections, angular distributions, and dichroic parameters in chiral molecules, as well as for photoionization from excited states. We also present a comparison with the results obtained using Hartree-Fock and DFT molecular orbitals selected according to Koopmans' theorem for the bound states
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
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

Vertex sparsifiers : new results from old techniques
No full textGiven a capacitated graph and a set of terminals , how should we produce a graph only on the terminals so that every (multicommodity) flow between the terminals in could be supported in with low congestion, and vice versa? (Such a graph is called a flow sparsifier for .) What if we want to be a “simple” graph? What if we allow to be a convex combination of simple graphs? Improving on results of Moitra [Proceedings of the 50th IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, IEEE Computer Society, Los Alamitos, CA, 2009, pp. 3--12] and Leighton and Moitra [Proceedings of the 42nd ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, ACM, New York, 2010, pp. 47--56], we give efficient algorithms for constructing (a) a flow sparsifier that maintains congestion up to a factor of , where ; (b) a convex combination of trees over the terminals that maintains congestion up to a factor of ; (c) for a planar graph , a convex combination of planar graphs that maintains congestion up to a constant factor. This requires us to give a new algorithm for the 0-extension problem, the first one in which the preimages of each terminal are connected in . Moreover, this result extends to minor-closed families of graphs. Our bounds immediately imply improved approximation guarantees for several terminal-based cut and ordering problems
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
