Le travail de la caméra : une pratique intermédiale. La conception de l’image du caméraman Eugen Schüfftan (1886–1977)
No full textCette étude vise à analyser le travail de la caméra, dans le cinéma narratif, en tant que pratique intermédiale, à partir de l’exemple d’un des plus grands opérateurs du XXe siècle, le caméraman Eugen Schüfftan. Après avoir offert un bref parcours de sa carrière artistique, l’analyse cherche à montrer la manière avec laquelle Schüfftan a développé une conception personnelle de l’image cinématographique, en s’appuyant sur les traditions de la peinture (Max Liebermann) et sur les expériences de la photographie contemporaine (László Moholy-Nagy, Otto Umbehr Umbo, Helmar Lerski).This article aims to analyse the work of the camera, in narrative cinema, as an intermedial practice, by taking as an example the work of the cameraman Eugen Schüfftan. After a brief overview of his artistic career, the author seeks to demonstrate the way by which Schüfftan developed a personal conception of the cinematographic image, based on painterly traditions (Max Liebermann) or on experimentations of contemporary photography (László Moholy-Nagy, Otto Umbehr Umbo, Helmar Lerski)

State zero
No full textEste informe da cuenta de un proceso de revisión teórica y plástica del autor sobre la manera cómo la televisión se convierte en medio para constituir un tipo de sujeto social que además de declararse consumidores de productos son consumidores de narrativas transformadas en “verdades”. Este proceso de reflexión, parte de preguntas centrales dando origen a la problematización propuesta: ¿Por qué nos cautiva el modo narrativo televisivo?, ¿Cómo afecta en el individuo social, psicológica y políticamente?, ¿De qué manera puede el arte involucrar al televidente en una propuesta que subvierta el discurso homogenizante que domina el medio televisivo?. El trabajo hace un recorrido por autores que desarrollan el tema de medios de comunicación y alienación, y por artistas que involucran en sus obras una propuesta crítica para el televidente, así como la experiencia personal del artista con el tema y la presentación de distintos trabajos plásticos que le han conducido a lanzar el trabajo artístico acá propuesto. En la propuesta plástica, el espectador se involucra como televidente ante un televisor que se encuentra en lo que el autor ha denominado: “ESTADO CERO”, espacio que es sugerido como estado de mente en blanco dispuesta para la meditación y trascender mas allá de lo que el aparato en si trasmite, se trata de un lugar por encima del bien y del mal, más allá de la discusión de que debería o no ser la televisión. La obra busca generar un espacio de reflexión al espectador que se disponga frente al haz de luz celeste y del cual pueden brotar más preguntas que respuestas, ya que aborda la problemática de la televisión y el televidente, no desde el antidiscurso sino desde la poética plástica, por medio de un dialogo abstracto, valiéndose del lenguaje de la video instalación, concretando así la obra “ESTADO CERO”.PregradoMaestro en Bellas ArtesThe current report describes a review process of theory and plastics of the author about how the television became a way to establish a type of socials individuals that they declares as themselves consumers and they are consumers of narratives transformed in “true”. This review process begins from some key questions that give rise to the problem proposed: Why are we so captive with the televising narrative way?, How does an individual be affected socially, psychologically and politically by the television?, How can art engage the TV viewer into a proposal that subverts the homogeneous speech that is dominating the television? This work makes a travel around authors that developed the subject of the communication media and alienation, and artists that had been involved in a criticism proposal to the viewers, also the personal experience of the artist with the subject and the presentation of different plastics works that lead him to release the artistic work proposed here. In the plastic proposal, the spectator involves as a TV viewer in front a TV set that it finds into that the author has called as ¨STATE ZERO¨, a space that is suggested as a white state of mind ready to meditation and go beyond what the machine really broadcast, it’s about a place that is beyond good or evil, beyond the argue of what should or shouldn’t be the television. The work aims to generate a second thought to the spectator and make him place in front of that sky-blue light beam, which can generate more questions than answers, because it approach the problematic of the television and the TV viewer, not from the anti speech but from the plastic poetics, by means of an abstract dialogue, being worth of the language of the video installation, complementing the work ¨STATE ZERO¨
Automated Classification of Physiologic, Glaucomatous, and Glaucoma-Suspected Optic Discs Using Machine Learning
No full textIn order to generate a machine learning algorithm (MLA) that can support ophthalmologists with the diagnosis of glaucoma, a carefully selected dataset that is based on clinically confirmed glaucoma patients as well as borderline cases (e.g., patients with suspected glaucoma) is required. The clinical annotation of datasets is usually performed at the expense of the data volume, which results in poorer algorithm performance. This study aimed to evaluate the application of an MLA for the automated classification of physiological optic discs (PODs), glaucomatous optic discs (GODs), and glaucoma-suspected optic discs (GSODs). Annotation of the data to the three groups was based on the diagnosis made in clinical practice by a glaucoma specialist. Color fundus photographs and 14 types of metadata (including visual field testing, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and cup–disc ratio) of 1168 eyes from 584 patients (POD = 321, GOD = 336, GSOD = 310) were used for the study. Machine learning (ML) was performed in the first step with the color fundus photographs only and in the second step with the images and metadata. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the classification of GSOD vs. GOD and POD vs. GOD were evaluated. Classification of GOD vs. GSOD and GOD vs. POD performed in the first step had AUCs of 0.84 and 0.88, respectively. By combining the images and metadata, the AUCs increased to 0.92 and 0.99, respectively. By combining images and metadata, excellent performance of the MLA can be achieved despite having only a small amount of data, thus supporting ophthalmologists with glaucoma diagnosis
150th anniversary of clinical description of multiple sclerosis
No full textThe clinical features of multiple sclerosis were first defined in detail and with pathologic confirmation in a medical thesis published at the Salpêtrière, Paris, in 1868. The author, Leopold Ordenstein (1835–1902), a German physician, analyzed cases collected by his mentor, Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893). The 2 clinician-scientists described the characteristic symptoms, predisposing age, and pathologic features of the disease, and emphasized the clear delineation from other chronic progressive disorders, especially paralysis agitans. The latter was referred to as Parkinson disease by William Sanders in 1865 and adopted by Désiré-Magloire Bourneville on behalf of Charcot in 1875. This essay commemorates the 150th anniversary of the publication of the pioneering work of Leopold Ordenstein and Jean-Martin Charcot.</jats:p
The first salen-type ligands derived from 3',5'-diamino-3',5'-dideoxythymidine and -dideoxyxylothymidine and their corresponding copper(II) complexes
No full textBackground There are many nucleoside metal complexes known. According to observations made, only very few of them reveal their central ion to be co-ordinated by the sugar part of their molecules. The regio- and stereospecific exchange of the hydroxyl groups at the sugar moiety by chelating units improves its complexation ability and should give access to a new class of chiral ligands. Results In this paper we present the synthesis of 3',5'-diamino substituted thymidines with ribo- as well as xylo-configuration and the preparation of copper(II) complexes derived from their corresponding Schiff bases. Starting from thymidine, the amino derivatives were prepared in a three and four step reaction sequence respectively. The absolute configuration of the ligands was proved by the three-bond 1H-1H spin spin coupling constants 3J obtained by NMR-studies. Condensation of the amino derivatives with salicylic aldehydes resulted in the corresponding diimines, which represent a new class of chiral salen-type ligands. All ligands formed uncharged stable copper(II) complexes. The structure of 3',5'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldiminato)-3',5'-dideoxyxylothymidine-copper(II) could be determined by single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The copper centre in this complex has distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. Conclusion For the synthesis of 3',5'-diamino-3',5'-dideoxy thymidines with xylo- as well as ribo-configuration an effective synthesis pathway has been developed. Their corresponding salicylidene imines form stable coordination compounds with copper(II) ions. They represent the first salen type complexes of nucleosides with this substitution pattern.Applied Science

Three-Way Street: Jews, Germans, and the Transnational
No full textGavriel D. Rosenfeld is a contributing author, Between Memory and Normalcy: Synagogue Architecture in Postwar Germany.
Book Description: As German Jews emigrated in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and as exiles from Nazi Germany, they carried the traditions, culture, and particular prejudices of their home with them. At the same time, Germany—and Berlin in particular—attracted both secular and religious Jewish scholars from eastern Europe. They engaged in vital intellectual exchange with German Jewry, although their cultural and religious practices differed greatly, and they absorbed many cultural practices that they brought back to Warsaw or took with them to New York and Tel Aviv. After the Holocaust, German Jews and non-German Jews educated in Germany were forced to reevaluate their essential relationship with Germany and Germanness as well as their notions of Jewish life outside of Germany. Among the first volumes to focus on German-Jewish transnationalism, this interdisciplinary collection spans the fields of history, literature, film, theater, architecture, philosophy, and theology as it examines the lives of significant emigrants. The individuals whose stories are reevaluated include German Jews Ernst Lubitsch, David Einhorn, and Gershom Scholem, the architect Fritz Nathan and filmmaker Helmar Lerski; and eastern European Jews David Bergelson, Der Nister, Jacob Katz, Joseph Soloveitchik, and Abraham Joshua Heschel—figures not normally associated with Germany. Three-Way Street addresses the gap in the scholarly literature as it opens up critical ways of approaching Jewish culture not only in Germany, but also in other locations, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/history-books/1058/thumbnail.jp
Bacaryolanes A–C, Rare Bacterial Caryolanes from a Mangrove Endophyte
No full textCaryolanes are known as typical plant-derived
sesquiterpenes. Here
we describe the isolation and full structure elucidation of three
caryolanes, bacaryolane A–C (<b>1</b>–<b>3</b>), that are produced by a bacterial endophyte (<i>Streptomyces</i> sp. JMRC:ST027706) of the
mangrove plant <i>Bruguiera gymnorrhiza.</i> By 2D NMR,
analysis of the first X-ray crystallographic data of a caryolane (bacaryolane
C), CD spectroscopy, and comparison with data for plant-derived caryolanes,
we rigorously established the absolute configuration of the bacaryolanes
and related compounds from bacteria. Bacterial caryolanes appear as
the mirror images of typical plant caryolanes. Apparently plant and
bacteria harbor stereodivergent biosynthetic pathways, which may be
used as metabolic signatures. The discovery of plant-like volatile
terpenes in endophytes not only is an important addition to the bacterial
terpenome but may also point to complex molecular interactions in
the plant–microbe association
