time is not on my side remembering victims of slow violence in a postconflict and postdisaster setting reslovi

what is happening when nothing is happening and how can we study events that are uneventful as a research field memory studies has mostly focused on violent events wars conflicts and particularly the holocaust and their public remembrance however the proposed project reslovi attempts to move away from studying public remembrance of conflicts and proposes an innovative approach to viewing the aftermath of violent events reslovi focuses on memories and experiences of displacement caused by a war and a natural disaster the projects main research objective is to rethink memory of suffering and violence in a postconflict and postdisaster setting by raising awareness of violence that is unspectacular happening out of sight and is not publicly remembered or even acknowledged as violence at all reslovi counters the mainstream theories of memory studies by employing an innovative theory of slow violence the project examines how people from a region in a postconflict and postdisaster country grapple with and remember the experience of displacement which is considered as a form of slow violence the project entails 3 key objectives 1 to contribute to innovative research on slow violence by studying its characteristics in a region of postwar croatia at the example of slowmoving transformations of the built environment that produced new vulnerabilities displacements 2 to introduce the slow memory theoretical approach into studying how memories of croatian populations displacement are triggered and reframed in the context of new displacements happening due to new crisis situations 3 to analyse the community response mnemonic solidarity to suffering and to contribute to research on political significance of citizens mobilization and agency in a postdisaster setting and in a postconflict context
quantifying aiinfused science

the recent the recent public release of artificial intelligence ai that can master natural language has sparked a debate about the capabilities of ai and whether it can produce scientific content despite the ongoing debate aigenerated written content has already entered the world of science papers cowritten by ai are published companies release models to assist scientists with producing scientific content and a large fraction of scientists use aibased tools to augment their writing we will thus inevitably have aiinfused science in our future the goal of scaience is to quantify whether how and with which implications generative ai is changing how scientists write communicate perceive and diffuse science and to rigorously explore the opportunities dangers and implications of scientists augmenting their science with ai the key hypothesis of scaience is that current ai lacks the ability to combine knowledge entities eg references in the same manner as humans and is unable to replicate the social information eg homophily or recency present in human scientific output testing the implications of this hypothesis is crucial since the scientific enterprise relies heavily on social information present in scientific output data for a wide range of purposes eg metrics definition information retrieval and predictions the scaience project will deploy a novel computational social science approach based on a wide array of quantitative disciplines leveraging large scale databases of humangenerated information and controlled experiments scaience will break new ground by i introducing the quantitative methods required to understand aiinfused science ii redefining metrics and models to account for aigenerated content in science and iii delivering quantitative scientific insights into how ai is changing the diffusion of science taken together scaience will lay the scientific foundation for the quantitative study of aiinfused science
finding the missing links in the bacterial cell cycle

the bacterial pathogen staphylococcus aureus is currently the second most common cause of death associated with antibiotic resistant infections the most useful antibiotics in clinical use have multiple targets as compounds against single proteins rapidly succumb to the capacity of bacteria to develop resistance to think innovatively about antibiotic discovery we need to think not only about individual cellular processes but also about how they are interconnected and coordinated so that we can devise methods to strike bacterial cells simultaneously in multiple pathways the bacterial cell cycle consists of a series of coordinated events required for bacterial growth during which cells duplicate their mass and undergo chromosome replication and segregation assembly of the division machinery cytokinesis and cell separation to generate two new daughter cells unregulated cell cycle progression may have lethal consequences for the cell and therefore bacteria have evolved various mechanisms for the precise spatiotemporal control of main cell cycle events some important checkpoints have been studied particularly the link between chromosome replicationsegregation and septum synthesis to avoid dna breaks however the mechanisms for coordination of other cell cycle events are still unknown what triggers initiation of peptidoglycan synthesis the target of betalactam antibiotics after assembly of the division machinery how does the cell coordinate synthesis of the membrane and peptidoglycan the two major cell surface components during cell division what prevents premature septum splitting which would expose an immature cell surface devoid of virulence factors leading to pathogen elimination by the innate immune system of an infected hostthe aim of this project is to find the missing links between major cell cycle events while also developing assays useful for antibiotic discovery

global lingua franca a transnational history of french 18001870

golingua contrasts the french languages relative decline across postnapoleonic europe against its prominence as a global lingua franca among new elites who came increasingly in contact with european space from 1800 through 1870 by focusing on the outward spread of the language from paris to the countrys modest empire researchers have lost sight of the female speakers and isolated elites from many areas who adopted french to connect with a globalizing world my research recovers the stories of nonnative french speakers from many regions in order to propose a new transnational framework for the study of the history of language recent histories of global french begin their accounts in the final third of the nineteenth century when the french colonial empire expanded beyond algeria i challenge this consensus by showing how speakers outside french space learned the language in a much earlier period shared communications in french created a longlasting form of social cohesion that stretched across national and imperial borders the project will lead to two peerreviewed articles on the ways that various groups used french in three locations haiti germany and russia my grant will give me new skills in the russian language and quantitative discourse analysis which will be applied to conduct research in german french luxembourgish and american archives a secondment in france will allow me to attend french cultural events in paris before returning to trier to meet institut français officials working in frankfurt and luxembourg a writing project developed out of these meetings will communicate the global significance of my research by uncovering the polyvocal origins of global francophonie i demonstrate the importance of multilingualism for a cosmopolitan european identity today
a foundation for empirical multimodality research

this project lays a foundation for conducting datadriven empirical research on multimodality that is how human communication and interaction rely on combinations of modes of expression theories of multimodality are rapidly gaining currency in diverse fields concerned with human communication interaction and cultural production however most theories of multimodality are based on conjecture and remain without an empirical foundation due to the lack of large richlyannotated multimodal corpora and methods for their analysisfoundations solves this problem by developing a novel methodology for conducting empirical research on multimodality in everyday cultural artefacts such as newspapers textbooks magazines and social media videos this methodology allows critically examining key theoretical concepts in the field medium semiotic mode and genre and their joint contribution to meaningmaking which renews our understanding of key theoretical concepts in multimodality research and places their definitions on a solid empirical foundationto do so foundations creates large and reproducible multimodal corpora using microtask crowdsourcing which breaks complex tasks into piecemeal work and distributes this effort to nonexpert workers on online platforms these crowdsourced descriptions are combined with computational representations into graphs that represent the structure of multimodal discourse for analysing these corpora the project develops novel methods based on neurosymbolic artificial intelligence which enables combining crowdsourced human insights with the pattern recognition capability of neural networksthe groundbreaking theoretical and methodological advances in foundations go far beyond state of the art by enabling largescale empirical research while preserving analytical depth needed for multimodality research this opens up new domains of inquiry for studying multimodality across cultures situations artefacts and timescales
