Father Andrew Mullen 1790-1818: a study in early nineteenth century spirituality
No full textThis thesis is laid out in three parts: Part I. The life and death of Andrew Mullen. The life is based, to a large extent, on a long letter to his mother, Catherine Mullen, dated 7 January 1810. The letter gives a definite insight into his spirituality based on his membership of the Archconfraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a hint that he had a premonition of an early death. Part II. The burial of Andrew Mullen and the immediate cult to him This is based on documentary evidence. Part III. Most of this part is a catalogue of testimonies taken from 1993 onwards. Then there is the conclusion on the popular devotion to Andrew Mullen stressing the theological aspect of the subject. In the course of writing the thesis it was decided to separate the documentary evidence from the oral tradition. This was advantageous in developing the thesis, and the documents provided a secure basis for the oral tradition. Two pieces of information were found in March 1997. They are death notices: 2 January 1819, The Leinster Journal and 7 January 1819, The Car low Morning Post. There is a slight discrepancy between the two on the date of his death. Also this discrepancy shows a slight difference from the date of the tombstone

Classe, cultura e experiência: E.P. Thompson e o culturalismo nas ciências sociais
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humans. Programa de Pós-graduação em Sociologia PolíticaA proposta da pesquisa é indicar as conseqüências teóricas presentes nas concepções de classe, cultura e experiência em E. P. Thompson por meio de critérios ontológicos do objeto de estudo da Sociologia e do instrumental teórico do Realismo Crítico. Dessa forma, identificamos as possibilidades de um intercâmbio/diálogo entre as categorias de cultura e experiência no âmbito da Antropologia, da Sociologia e da História. Destacamos nesse processo a categoria cultura em relação #àquilo que não é cultura#, i.e., relacionando as condições materiais de existência com as perspectivas de transformação social fundadas na luta, consciência e experiência de classe. Para tanto, analisamos o desenvolvimento teórico de algumas proposições do culturalismo e sua inserção no debate sobre o ser social, bem como o conceito de cultura para Thompson. Abrimos assim a possibilidade do estudo científico do ser social, relacionando as implicações teóricas de sua obra com o modelo transformacional de sociedade delimitado pelo Realismo Crítico de Roy Bhaskar Para contextualizar os debates, sistematizamos as críticas de Thompson às tendências funcionalistas das Ciências Sociais e discutimos alguns críticos de sua obra. Como conclusão, apontamos as contribuições de Thompson ao amplo debate das Ciências Sociais no campo dos estudos sobre cultura e sociedade, sem perder de vista ou abandonar os referenciais marxistas de sua obra no intuito de afastá-lo da corrente culturalista pósmoderna a que é, por vezes, impropriamente vinculado. The aim of this research is to indicate the theoretical consequences within the categories of class, culture and experience in E. P. Thompson by relating them with the ontological criteria of sociology#s subject of study and the achievements of Critical Realism theory. Doing that we hope to help to identify the possibilities of an exchange/dialog between the categories of culture and experience within Anthropology, Sociology and History

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

Equilibration of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by standing meanders
No full textThe insensitivity of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC)’s prominent isopycnal slope to changes in wind stress is thought to stem from the action of mesoscale eddies that counterbalance the wind-driven Ekman overturning—a framework verified in zonally symmetric circumpolar flows. Substantial zonal variations in eddy characteristics suggest that local dynamics may modify this balance along the path of the ACC. Analysis of an eddy-resolving ocean GCM shows that the ACC can be broken into broad regions of weak eddy activity, where surface winds steepen isopycnals, and a small number of standing meanders, across which the isopycnals relax. Meanders are coincident with sites of (i) strong eddy-induced modification of the mean flow and its vertical structure as measured by the divergence of the Eliassen–Palm flux and (ii) enhancement of deep eddy kinetic energy by up to two orders of magnitude over surrounding regions. Within meanders, the vorticity budget shows a balance between the advection of relative vorticity and horizontal divergence, providing a mechanism for the generation of strong vertical velocities and rapid changes in stratification. Temporal fluctuations in these diagnostics are correlated with variability in both the Eliassen–Palm flux and bottom speed, implying a link to dissipative processes at the ocean floor. At larger scales, bottom pressure torque is spatially correlated with the barotropic advection of planetary vorticity, which links to variations in meander structure. From these results, it is proposed that the “flexing” of standing meanders provides an alternative mechanism for reducing the sensitivity of the ACC’s baroclinicity to changes in forcing, separate from an ACC-wide change in transient eddy characteristics
