Lee-Carter mortality forecasting: a multi-country comparison of variants and extensions
No full textWe compare the short- to medium-term accuracy of five variants or extensions of the Lee-Carter method for mortality forecasting. These include the original Lee-Carter, the Lee-Miller and Booth-Maindonald-Smith variants, and the more flexible Hyndman-Ullah and De Jong-Tickle extensions. These methods are compared by applying them to sex-specific populations of 10 developed countries using data for 1986-2000 for evaluation. All variants and extensions are more accurate than the original Lee-Carter method for forecasting log death rates, by up to 61%. However, accuracy in log death rates does not necessarily translate into accuracy in life expectancy. There are no significant differences among the five methods in forecast accuracy for life expectancy.Functional data, Lee-Carter method, mortality forecasting, nonparametric smoothing, principal components, state space.

Manifestations of the grotesque in Angela Carter's love and wise children
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoEsta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar o emprego do grotesco, segundo as teorias de Wolfgang Kayser e Mikhail Bakhtin, em dois romances de Angela Carter: Love (1971) e Wise Children (1991). O primeiro capítulo caracteriza o "grotesco trágico", de acordo com a definição proposta por Wolfgang Kayser, bem como o "grotesco cômico", a partir do estudo de Mikhail Bakhtin. A seguir, analisa-se Love, tendo como foco de análise a trágica perspectiva de vida da protagonista do romance, a partir da descrição detalhada de seu comportamento. Neste capítulo, fica claro que o tipo de grotesco utilizado prioriza o grotesco romântico, ou trágico, assim descrito por Kayser, através da paródia do tema do amor romântico/trágico que está comprometido com o texto autenticamente "Romântico" de Edgar A. Poe. No terceiro capítulo apresenta-se a análise de Wise Children identificando-se o tom cômico empregado pelo narrador com o "grotesco cômico", assim descrito por Bakthin, focalizando-se basicamente em dois aspectos: o riso, e a velhice. A partir daí, sugere-se que houve uma modificação no emprego do grotesco cômico, ou seja, em Carter o uso do grotesco cômico reflete a ambigüidade inerente ao seu tempo, e não mais a certeza de transformação presente na interpretação Bakhtiniana do grotesco. Na conclusão, chama-se atenção para o fato de que uso dos dois tipos de grotesco identificados por Kayser e Bakhtin sofrem modificações, em Carter, que servem para demonstrar as mudancas sofridas pelo emprego contemporâneo do grotesco na narrativa

Amon Carter: The Founder of Modern Fort Worth, 1930-1955
No full textFrom 1930 to 1955, Amon Carter, publisher of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, exerted his power to create modern Fort Worth. Carter used his stature as the publisher of the city's major newspaper to build a modern city out of this livestock center. Between 1930 and 1955, Carter lobbied successfully for New Deal funds for Fort Worth, persuaded Consolidated Aircraft to build an airplane plant in the city, and convinced Burlington Railways to stay in the city. He also labored unsuccessfully to have the Trinity River Canal built and to secure a General Motors plant for Fort Worth. These efforts demonstrate that Carter was indeed the founder of modern Fort Worth
