The Appearance and Disappearance of the Term Nieuwe Zakelijkheid in Dutch Modern Architecture
No full textAlthough modern architecture was indicated with different terms such as Modern Architecture, Rationalism, Functionalism, Modern Movement, Neue Sachlichkeit and Neues Bauen, the Dutch modern architects had a strong preference for the translations of the last two: Nieuwe Zakelijkheid and Nieuwe Bouwen. The first one originated in German painting around 1925. It was introduced in Dutch modern architecture somewhere between the first CIAM congress in 1928 and 1930. The architect J.B. van Loghem (1932) used it in the subtitle of his book about modern Dutch architecture together with the German subtitle Neues Bauen, a term related to the CIAM congresses. From around 1929 de Nieuwe Zakelijkheid was already under attack from critics in newspapers and from traditionalist architects writing in the Roomsch Katholiek Bouwblad. They attacked the attitude of this movement for being materialistic. The focus in this article is on the year 1932 because in that year, only a few years after its appearance, the use of the phrase Nieuwe Zakelijkheid was rejected by the majority of Dutch modern architects. This occurred despite the publication that year of Van Loghem's book on Nieuwe Zakelijkheid and despite the publication by the Amsterdam School architect J. Gratama of an eye-catching but critical article about the subject in the first volume of a series of twenty books about modern (in fact contemporary) Dutch architecture. Essential, however, was the attack of the 'father of modern architecture in the Netherlands' H.P. Berlage who reproached Nieuwe Zakelijkheid for being materialistic and capitalistic. According to him all emotion was absent in The Nieuwe Zakelijkheid. Berlage's point of view was immediately published in the new founded Avant-garde journal de 8 en OPBOUW and fiercely disputed by two important representatives of de Nieuwe Zakelijkheid, J. Duiker and J.J.P. Oud. They reproached Berlage for ignoring that the zakelijke ('matter-of-fact') attitude was only meant to produce better living conditions (CIAM) and higher values (Oud) such as the cosmic laws of economy (Duiker). Thereafter the term Nieuwe Zakelijkheid was seldom used again within the circles of modern architecture. The traditionalist architects in the Roomsch Katholiek Bouwblad continued their attacks on Nieuwe Zakelijkheid but in the meantime the modern architects themselves gave preference to the expression Nieuwe Bouwen and some of the young architects of the Groep 32 even abandoned the CIAM related term Nieuwe Bouwen and propagated the high-flown phrase ARCHITECTUUR
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
Explaining military loyalty after rebel victory
No full textThesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Political Science, 2019Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references.Why do armed movements that win civil wars sometimes build states that control their military forces, but sometimes do not? Under what conditions do field commanders within these winning coalitions commit to centralized military hierarchies, or defect and maintain parallel armed networks? Despite the importance of obedient militaries for building strong states and durable peace, the logic of military loyalty after victory in civil war has not been studied in a systematic or comparative fashion. To explain variation in ex-rebel commander behavior across and within states where armed movements seize power, my argument highlights the centrality of wartime institution-building. Threats to insurgent group survival cause variation in two types of institutions: leadership bodies that bind field commanders to political elites, and local governance systems that tie field commanders to rebel-controlled communities. These institutions shape postwar outcomes through two intervening mechanisms: a) ex-rebel commanders' expectations of reciprocity from political rulers, and b) ex-rebel commanders' abilities to mobilize supporters outside of the regular army hierarchy. If collectivized leadership institutions exist, ex-rebel commanders are more likely to trust rulers' promises and remain loyal. Otherwise, commanders' calculi will hinge on their local governance records. Ex-rebel commanders who governed well during war can tap into local support networks and resist central state oversight. To develop and test this theory, the dissertation examines the war-to-peace transitions of victorious armed movements in Africa. First, I use comparative historical analysis based on original interviews and archival materials to analyse the divergent trajectories of winning rebels in Zimbabwe and Côte d'Ivoire. Second, I test observable implications of my argument at the sub-national level in Côte d'Ivoire. For this analysis, I draw on original community-level survey evidence based on interviews with key informants in a representative sample of localities in rebel-ruled territory. Finally, I illustrate the generalizability of the argument through a medium-N analysis of winning armed movements in Africa between 1974 and the present. The project contributes to debates about war and state formation, and the design of coercive institutions in fragile states. It also challenges conventional wisdom about the positive effects of rebel institution-building for peacebuilding.Philip Andrew Martin.Ph. D.Ph. D.

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
Civilianizing Civil Conflict: Civilian Defense Militias and the Logic of Violence in Intra-State Conflict
No full textThis paper examines how civilian defense militias shape violence during civil war. Civilian defense forces are a sedentary and defensive form of pro-government militia that incumbents often use to harness the participation of civilians during a counterinsurgency campaign. We argue that civilian defense forces reduce the problem of insurgent identification, leading to a reduction in state violence against civilians. However, we also claim that these actors undermine civilian support for insurgents, which leads to an increase in rebel violence against civilians and overall intensification of conflict. A statistical analysis of government and rebel violence against civilians from 1981 to 2005 and a qualitative assessment of a civilian defense force operating in Iraq from 2005 to 2009 offer strong support for our theoretical claims. These findings provide further insight into pro- government militias and their effects on violence. They also have wider ethical implications for the use of civilian collaborators during civil war

The reversed bell-bottom technique (ReBel-B) for the endovascular treatment of iliac artery aneurysms
No full textObjective: To describe the results of the reversed bell-bottom (ReBel-B) technique for the endovascular treatment of iliac aneurysms (IA) involving the origin of hypogastric artery (HA). Methods: The ReBel-B technique is a strategy for the occlusion of HA in selected patients presenting with IA, in whom the HA cannot be spared or safely occluded with coils or vascular plugs. When employing this technique, an iliac flared (“bell-bottom”) extension is deployed in a reverse fashion, through a contralateral crossover femoral access that allows the occlusion of the HA at its origin, by exploiting the flared “bell” part of the reversed endograft. A second limb is then deployed to complete the implant, from the common iliac to the external iliac artery, inside the previous graft. Data of all consecutive patients treated with this technique in our experience were then retrospectively reviewed, and outcomes analyzed. Results: The ReBel-B technique was employed in total of six patients who came in an emergent setting for the rupture of a common IA, from January 2014 to December 2018. Endovascular exclusion was performed using a ReBel-B graft plus iliac leg in five out of six cases. In the remaining case, a bifurcated aortic endograft was used to complete the aneurysm exclusion. Technical success was 100%. No complications occurred. Conclusions: In selected cases, the ReBel-B technique can be used for the complete exclusion of IA preventing type II endoleak from the HA, when the embolization with coils or plug or the preservation of the HA is anatomically unfeasible
Evaluatie postregeling
No full textIn de Postregeling 2009 zijn regels uitgewerkt omtrent een systeem van kostengeoriënteerde tarieven voor de Universele Postdienst (UPD). De Minister van Economische Zaken heeft Rebel en SEO Economisch Onderzoek gevraagd om de Postregeling te evalueren. Uit de evaluatie volgt dat de regeling te veel ruimte laat aan de UPD-verlener om naar eigen inzicht keuzes te maken in de kostentoerekening, hetgeen effect heeft op het kostenniveau van de UPD en overige diensten en daarmee op de betaalbaarheid van de UPD. Binnen de kostentoerekeningssystematiek is er ruimte om keuzes te maken die leiden tot substantieel andere kostenniveaus voor de UPD en overige diensten. PostNL heeft - gegeven de verschillen in mate van concurrentie op de verschillende segmenten van de postmarkt - de sterke strategisch-economische prikkel en de mogelijkheid om de ruimte die de regels biedt, zo te benutten dat kosten met name aan die UPD-diensten worden toegerekend waarbij PostNL de facto een monopolie heeft. Er zijn onvoldoende waarborgen dat de markt voorziet in disciplinerende werking hiervan. De toezichthouder dient daartoe ten aanzien van de kostentoerekeningsregels over meer instrumenten te beschikken zodat hij onwenselijke kruissubsidiering effectiever kan voorkomen. Om effectief toezicht op de Postregeling te borgen dient de toezichthouder bij het vaststellen van de starttarieven inzage te krijgen in de kostentoerekeningsmethodiek en de mogelijkheid te krijgen om de methodiek en/of de op de methodiek gebaseerde tarieven goed te keuren. Tot slot is noodzakelijk dat de toezichthouder de mogelijkheid heeft om ex post te controleren of de tarieven daadwerkelijk conform de goedgekeurde methodiek zijn vastgesteld. Verder dient de gevoeligheid voor volumewisselingen te verminderen, door (1) verkorting van de reguleringsperiode van 4 naar 3 jaar en (2) vaststelling van de volumes op basis van een door de toezichthouder uit te voeren extrapolatie van de volumeontwikkeling uit de afgelopen 3 jaar in plaats van slechts 1 jaar
