Variations 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
Holocene Relative Sea-Level Changes from Near-, Intermediate-, and Far-Field Locations
No full textHolocene relative sea-level (RSL) records exhibit spatial and temporal variability that arises mainly from the interaction of eustatic (land ice volume and thermal expansion) and isostatic (glacio- and hydro-) factors. We fit RSL histories from near-, intermediate-, and far-field locations with noisy-input Gaussian process models to assess rates of RSL change. Records from near-field regions (e.g., Antarctica, Greenland, Canada, Sweden, and Scotland) reveal a complex pattern of RSL fall from a maximum marine limit due to the net effect of eustatic sea-level rise and glacio-isostatic uplift with rates of RSL fall as great as -69 ± 9 m/ka. Intermediate-field regions (e.g., mid-Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States, Netherlands, Southern France, St. Croix) display variable rates of RSL rise from the cumulative effect of isostatic and eustatic factors. Fast rates of RSL rise (up to 10 ± 1 m/ka) are found in the early Holocene in regions near the center of forebulge collapse. Far-field RSL records exhibit a mid-Holocene highstand, the timing (between 8 and 4 ka) and magnitude (between <1 and 6 m) of which varies among South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania regions.Peer reviewe

Endobronchial ultrasound and the assessment of airway wall thickness in asthma
No full textWhilst high resolution computer tomography (HRCT) scanning lends support to the notion that the airways are thickened in asthma, this technique is limited by its sensitivity of measurement, inter-observer variability and necessity for radiation exposure. This is the first work to describe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) using a radial probe instead under direct vision into the airways during fibre-optic bronchoscopy to measure total airway wall thickness (AWT) in vivo. The technique was validated in an in vitro model (sheep airway) and in vivo by comparison with HRCT measurements in mild/moderate asthmatic and healthy volunteer subjects. In the asthmatic group these findings were related to PC20 histamine, as a measure of BHR, post-bronchodilator FEV, reversibility to β2 agonists, and duration of asthma. Endobronchial biopsies were assessed for histological markers of airway remodelling – reticular basement membrane thickness (RbMt), submucosal collagen and proteoglycan deposition. Inter and intraobserver variability using EBUS to measure AWT were good and were in agreement with those by HRCT. Increased AWT was found in asthmatics but contrary to that predicted by mathematical models it was inversely correlated with BHR and reversibility to β2 agonists. Although RbMt, submucosal collagens I, III, V and proteoglycans perlican, biglycan, decorin, fibronectin were increased in asthmatic subjects over controls, no correlations were found with AWT. I suggest that increased AWT in asthmatics leads to ‘stiffening’ of the airways which opposes excessive bronchoconstriction and is therefore beneficial in protecting the airways from closure.</p

Canada, Scandinavia and Southern Africa
No full textIn February 1978 a joint Scandinavian-Canadian conference was held in Ottawa. The conference was intended to examine and discuss Canadian and Scandinavian perspectives on and policies towards the states of Southern Africa, and to analyse and compare the different development strategies and political economies that have emerged in the region in recent years. Scholars, officials and activists from Scandinavia, Canada and Africa were invited to attend. The conference was sponsored by the Scandinavian Institute of African Studies, the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University (Ottawa), and the Centre for African Studies at Dalhousie University (Halifax). The present volume concentrates on the relations between Canada, Scandinavia and Southern Africa. A companion volume Conflict and Change in Southern Africa, edited by D. Anglin, T. Shaw and C. Widstrand (University Press of America, 1978) incorporates a variety of analyses, perceptions and ideologies and discusses the position of the front - line states, the liberation movements and prospects of change within South Africa.CONTENTS: 1.
