DEBORA: Developing an Interface to Support Collaboration in a Digital Library
No full textInterfaces to library systems have largely failed to represent the in-herently collaborative nature of information work. This paper describes how collaborative functionality is being implemented as part of the DEBORA project to provide access to digitised Renaissance documents. Work practices of users of Renaissance documents are described and the collaborative features of the client software are outlined. Functionalities discussed include annotation, the creation of virtual books and the inclusion of user-supplied metadata

Awangardowe oblicze realizmu. Montaż literacki Debory Vogel
No full textThe article discusses poetics of realism in the works of Debora Vogel, while focusing on the selection of her poems entitled “Akacje kwitną. Montaże” (Acacias in Blossom. Montages). The author presents the realistic element within Debora Vogel‟s prose and points out the basic principles standing behind her aesthetics: constructivism, simultanism, and new realism. The focus is primarily on the avant-garde elements of Vogel‟s prose: the modernist characteristics of her writing. A special attention is given to literary montage and to the notion of realism as the basic mode of representation within the analysed genre. Realism-oriented approach visible in Debora Vogel‟s prose goes hand in hand with characteristic features of montage as a literary genre that answers to the dominant worldview and to the changes in aesthetic theory that are visible in three stages of Vogel‟s realism-related search (constructivism, simultanism, new realism). The conclusion is that the interpretation of literary works by Debora Vogel has to concern two issues: individual and autonomous character of her writing on the one hand and its connection with the multicultural, modernist project of the Polish interwar literature on the other, as it is in this cultural and literary context that her realism-oriented practices are performed.Zeszyty Naukowe TDU

Kata Kunci: maskulinitas, sastra, the untamed Abstract
Literature is an art written by an author in accordance with the things experienced by the author, and also written with the feeling and touch of an author's soul. There are various kinds of literary works, namely poetry, films, novels, songs and short stories. In this study, researchers analyzed a film entitled The Untamed: Fatal Journey with a focus on analyzing masculinity theory according to Tuncay and masculinity theory according to Debora S. David and Robert Branno. The data analysis technique used in this research is using qualitative descriptive data analysis techniques with data collection using listening and note-taking techniques. The purpose of this study is to find out how masculine the main character Nie Mingjue is with a theoretical focus according to Tuncay and theory according to Debora S. David and Robert Branno. This research also produces significant results that the main character Nie Mingjue can be said to be a character with a masculine character.

Estimating the number of citations using author reputation
No full textAbstract. We study the problem of predicting the popularity of items in a dynamic environment in which authors post continuously new items and provide feedback on existing items. This problem can be applied to predict popularity of blog posts, rank photographs in a photo-sharing system, or predict the citations of a scientific article using author information and monitoring the items of interest for a short period of time after their creation. As a case study, we show how to estimate the number of citations for an academic paper using information about past articles written by the same author(s) of the paper. If we use only the citation information over a short period of time, we obtain a predicted value that has a correlation of r = 0.57 with the actual value. This is our baseline prediction. Our best-performing system can improve that prediction by adding features extracted from the past publishing history of its authors, increasing the correlation between the actual and the predicted values to r = 0.81.

Early and late effects of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell therapy on lung and distal organs in experimental sepsis
No full textWe tested the hypothesis that bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMDMCs) at an early phase of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis may have lasting effects on: (1) lung mechanics and histology, (2) the structural remodelling of lung parenchyma, (3) lung, kidney, and liver cell apoptosis, and (4) pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. At day 1, BMDMC significantly reduced mortality, as well as caspase-3, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1 beta vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, and transforming growth factor-beta, but increased IL-10 mRNA expression in lung tissue in septic mice contributing to endothelium and epithelium alveolar repair and improvement of lung mechanics. BMDMC also prevented the increase of apoptotic cells in lung, liver, and kidney. At day 7, these early functional and morphological effects were preserved or further improved. In conclusion, in the present model of sepsis, the beneficial effects of early administration of BMDMCs on lung and distal organs were preserved, possibly by paracrine mechanisms.

Beyond the outfield: Baseball fiction and historical fantasy, 1864-present
No full textBeyond the Outfield: Baseball Fiction and Historical Fantasy, 1864-Present considers baseball’s imperial and racist past and traces the ways in which fiction from the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries imagines alternative possibilities within this history. My goal is, in part, to materially interrogate the mythologies and histories surrounding baseball, which has long been imagined as a uniquely American sport, thought to be invented by a U.S. citizen (Abner Doubleday) in Cooperstown, N.Y. As such, the game is read as a democratic agent of e pluribus unum, a practice of citizenship that can help turn immigrants into Americans while also helping to Americanize foreign territories. Beyond the Outfield explores this history by amassing a thick archive of cultural materials such as pamphlets, films, museum exhibitions, and newspapers, and placing these materials alongside contemporary novels which grapple with baseball’s official history, imagining alternatives to this official history that seek to move beyond baseball as a tool of conquest and control. As examples of a genre I call historical fantasy, each one presents a different version of the history we think we know and illuminates parts of history not frequently imagined. While baseball’s official history puts the United States and its seemingly democratic values at its center, works of historical fantasy, I argue, present a way to figuratively unmake empire’s becoming so as to have it become in a different way. My work, then, is as much about the production of memory and countermemory as it is baseball. My project draws on scholarship that explores the construction of racial memory and countermemory, allowing me to focus on pivotal times and places in baseball’s long imperial history (from the Civil War, to the dismantling of Indian Territory at the moment of allotment, to desegregation in the 1940s, among others) in order to trouble the dominant narratives of baseball’s—and the U.S.’s—official history.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Debora Tienou, accepted the attached license on 2019-03-25 at 23:49.The student, Debora Tienou, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-03-26 at 00:07.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-03-29 at 10:05.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13451 on 2019-08-22 at 15:05:07Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:35:42Z (GMT).
