No full textVariations 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
[Newspaper Clipping: Author Claims Evidence of Second JFK Assassin #1]

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
DIE KOMMODIFIZIERUNG VON MORAL - LASSEN SICH MORALISCHE FRAGEN ZUM UMGANG MIT NUTZTIEREN ÜBER DEN MARKT LÖSEN?
No full textViele Europäer sehen in landwirtschaftlichen Nutztieren nicht mehr nur eine Ressource, sondern betrachten sie als Entitäten mit eigenen Interessen. Diese seit einigen Jahren zu beobachtende Einstellungsänderung lässt sich als Umbildungsprozess hin zu einer pathozentrischen Gesellschaft interpretieren. Unklarheit herrscht allerdings darüber, welche konkreten menschlichen Verpflichtungen sich aus dem moralischen Status von Tieren für ihre Haltung, den Transport oder die Tötung ergeben. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Einführung eines staatlichen Tierwohllabels in vielen Ländern und auch auf europäischer Ebene diskutiert, um die Lebensbedingungen von Nutztieren zu verbessern. Die Entscheidung, den Markt als vornehmliche Institution gesellschaftlicher Willensbildung für die moralische Frage des wünschenswerten Umgang mit Tieren zu wählen, ist nicht frei von normativen Annahmen, darüber, wessen Interessen zu berücksichtigen sind, welches ethische Wertkonzept zu bevorzugen ist und wie sich einheitliche Wertvorstellungen in einer Gesellschaft herausbilden. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass die Verwendung eines Labels keine institutionelle Veränderung darstellt, die es erlaubt, Nutztiere gleichermaßen um ihrer selbst Willen zu berücksichtigen, sondern in der anthropozentrischen Perspektive verhaftet bleibt. Der Wertmonismus des Marktes kann rechtsbasierte Wertannahmen nicht widerspiegeln, der Markt entbindet zudem Individuen von der Notwendigkeit ihre Wertvorstellungen zu begründen und auf dieser Basis Rechte und Pflichten neu zu verteilen. Die Nachfrage nach tierwohlgelabelten Produkten kann daher nur in sehr begrenzter Weise die Werthaltung der Bevölkerung zu Tierschutz fragen widerspiegeln. Ein Label kann nicht von einer fundamentalen gesellschaftlichen Wertdebatte über den Umgang mit landwirtschaftlichen Nutztieren entlasten
