LABOR ACADÊMICO, UNIVERSIDADE E CONTRAOFENSIVA DO CAPITAL
Authors: De Paula Alisson Slider do Nascimento
Published: March 2017

O referido trabalho busca empreender uma análise acerca do labor acadêmico, bem como das condicionalidades empreendidas pelo sistema metabólico do capital em tempos de ofensiva neoliberal para a universidade e consequentemente para a categoria de trabalhadores em tela. Optamos pelo método de análise dialético, logo se trata de um método que busca apreender o objeto a partir das suas múltiplas determinações que o constituem, ou seja, busca apreender o objeto em sua totalidade. Assim, constatamos que o labor acadêmico sob o jugo do capital é realizado de forma pragmática e fragmentado, o que engendra um processo de estranhamento.
UMA BREVE HISTÓRIA DA CONSTRUÇÃO POLÍTICA REPRESENTATIVA DE OTTOMAR DE SOUSA PINTO EM RORAIMA NOS PRIMEIROS ANOS DO GOVERNO DO ESTADO (1991-1994)
Authors: Nogueira Elen Patrícia
Published: March 2017

O presente trabalho é parte do resultado da minha monografia e continuidade da mesma pesquisa, porém com ampliação, da minha dissertação de mestrado. Aqui será analisado as representações da política populista por trás do governo de Ottomar de Sousa Pinto, durante o primeiro governo do Estado de Roraima (1991-1994). É percebido que essas representações permaneceram na memória da população que vivenciou o seu governo não somente por o terem presenciado, mas também devido aos artigos dos jornais, a seu favor, que escreveram suas ações e discursos. Por terem sido preservados, não em sua íntegra, transmitem até hoje para quem desejar pesquisa-los a imagem representativa que o mesmo desejava passar. Destarte, pode-se evidenciar em conversas informais com leitores residentes do Estado desde o período do território a multiplicidade de perspectivas adotadas por cada um sobre o governo de Ottomar. Alguns construíram a imagem representada pelos jornais ao seu favor do “homem do povo”, do líder carismático”, outros o acusam de populista de forma negativa, como sendo manipulador, autoritário e nepotista; e os terceiros, por sua vez, estão divididos entre estas duas vertentes, isto é, de que ele era carismático e “bom”, porém utilizava-se da manipulação e do poder em algumas ocasiões para se beneficiar.

Part-time Employment and Health Insurance Reform: What Can Massachusetts Tell Us about the Affordable Care Act?
Authors: Owen Laura J.
Published: March 2017

Experience with health insurance reform in Massachusetts may provide a good forecast of the impact of the Affordable Care Act [ACA] on the growth of part-time employment. Concerns have been expressed that the ACA will lead to growing part-time employment, but it will take several years to observe this effect and whether it is labor demand (firm) or labor supply (worker) initiated. Using state-level data from 1999 to 2012, I treat the 2007 implementation of the new Massachusetts health insurance system as an “experiment” to examine whether it had any differential effect on the growth in part-time employment in the state. A panel estimation including fixed cross-section and period effects reveals that voluntary part-time employment increased in Massachusetts relative to the other states, but reform measures did not have an effect on involuntary part-time employment. The impact of the reform on voluntary part-time employment suggests that some Massachusetts workers found the pre-reform system to be an obstacle to their choice of optimal work hours. The implementation of the ACA, by providing avenues for obtaining health insurance that are not directly tied to employment, may remove this obstacle for workers in other states and make part-time employment a more attractive choice for workers across the U.S.

Drones, nuevos panoramas para la aviación: análisis comparativo de la normatividad internacional frente a la normatividad colombiana
Authors: Acuña Lizarazo Marlon Efrén
Published: March 2017

El propósito de este artículo de investigación de tipo documental-descriptiva es realizar un análisis comparativo de las normas aéreas establecidas por entidades internacionales como la Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional (OACI), la Agencia Europea de Seguridad Aérea (EASA), la Administración Federal de Aviación (FAA) y la Autoridad Civil de Aviación (CAA), frente a la normatividad implementada por la Unidad Administrativa Especial Aeronáutica Civil (UAEAC) en cuanto a la regulación de operaciones aéreas con aeronaves conocidas como drones, generando nuevos peligros para la aviación tradicional en espacios aéreos congestionados, debido a un aumento en el uso de drones a causa de la innovación y creatividad del ser humano en la generación de nuevas soluciones tecnológicas (Thomas, 2015).  Finalmente, se pretende establecer una contribución normativa al programa de prevención de accidentes de Aeronaves Remotamente Tripuladas (ART), afianzando de esta manera un sistema de seguridad operacional proactivo como lo sugiere el documento “Guía Rápida de Seguridad Operacional” (FAC, 2015) mediante el diseño e implementación de una base de datos de operadores de drones, la creación de un curso virtual similar al instaurado por FAA, llamado “know before you fly”, sin dejar a un lado la continua promoción y divulgación de la legislación ya establecida, mejorando la comunicación entre los usuarios y la autoridad aeronáutica competente.
Sistemas de defensa, en la construcción de lo público, para una sociedad compleja prácticamente caótica
Authors: Bohórquez Keeney Alejandro , Pinedo Herrera Carlos Antonio
Published: March 2017

La guerra, entendida como la manifestación bélica de los conflictos sociales y políticos, es una constante en la historia humana. Sin embargo, no es posible asegurar que sus representaciones también hayan sido constantes. Por tal motivo, se hace imperativo que toda sociedad establezca sistemas de defensa para protegerse, partiendo de la idea que estos se emplean para neutralizar por medio de la disuasión a las amenazas. Hoy en día, cuando se consideran amenazas no estatales transnacionales o asimétricas, las fuerzas armadas no bastan como único recurso de poder dentro de un sistema de defensa. Por lo tanto, se debe apropiar la noción de que ante un mundo cambiante, un buen sistema de defensa ha de comprometer a la sociedad civil para su correcta implementación.

Social and Built Environmental Correlates of Predicted Blood Lead Levels in the Flint Water Crisis
Authors: Sadler Richard Casey , LaChance Jenny , Hanna-Attisha Mona
Published: March 2017

Objectives. To highlight contextual factors tied to increased blood lead level (BLL) risk following the lead-in-water contamination in Flint, Michigan.

Methods. Using geocoded BLL data collected in 2013 and 2015 and areal interpolation, we predicted BLLs at every residential parcel in the city. We then spatially joined social and built environmental variables to link the parcels with neighborhood-level factors that may influence BLLs.

Results. When we compared levels before and during the water crisis, we saw the highest estimates of predicted BLLs during the water crisis and the greatest changes in BLLs in neighborhoods with the longest water residence time in pipes (μ = 2.30 µg/dL; Δ = 0.45 µg/dL), oldest house age (μ = 2.22 µg/dL; Δ = 0.37 µg/dL), and poorest average neighborhood housing condition (μ = 2.18 µg/dL; Δ = 0.44 µg/dL).

Conclusions. Key social and built environmental variables correlate with BLL; such information can continue to guide response by prioritizing older, deteriorating neighborhoods with the longest water residence time in pipes.
Injury Mortality in Individuals With Autism
Authors: Guan Joseph , Li Guohua
Published: March 2017

Objectives. To examine epidemiological patterns of injury fatalities in individuals with a diagnosis of autism.

Methods. We identified individuals with a diagnosis of autism who died between 1999 and 2014 by screening causes of death in the multiple cause-of-death data files in the National Vital Statistics System based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, code F84.0. We used the general US population as the reference to calculate proportionate mortality ratios (PMRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results. During the study period, 1367 deaths (1043 males and 324 females) in individuals with autism were recorded in the United States. The mean age at death for individuals with autism was 36.2 years (SD = 20.9 years), compared with 72.0 years (SD = 19.2 years) for the general population. Of the deaths in individuals with autism, 381 (27.9%) were attributed to injury (PMR = 2.93; 95% CI = 2.64, 3.24), with suffocation (n = 90; PMR = 31.93; 95% CI = 25.69, 39.24) being the leading cause of injury mortality, followed by asphyxiation (n = 78; PMR = 13.50; 95% CI = 10.68, 16.85) and drowning (n = 74; PMR = 39.89; 95% CI = 31.34, 50.06).

Conclusions. Individuals with autism appear to be at substantially heightened risk for death from injury.
The Affordable Care Act, Insurance Coverage, and Health Care Utilization of Previously Incarcerated Young Men: 2008–2015
Authors: Winkelman Tyler N. A. , Choi HwaJung , Davis Matthew M.
Published: March 2017

Objectives. To estimate health insurance and health care utilization patterns among previously incarcerated men following implementation of the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) Medicaid expansion and Marketplace plans in 2014.

Methods. We performed serial cross-sectional analyses using data from the National Survey of Family Growth between 2008 and 2015. Our sample included men aged 18 to 44 years with (n = 3476) and without (n = 8702) a history of incarceration.

Results. Uninsurance declined significantly among previously incarcerated men after ACA implementation (–5.9 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −11.5, –0.4), primarily because of an increase in private insurance (6.8 percentage points; 95% CI = 0.1, 13.3). Previously incarcerated men accounted for a large proportion of the remaining uninsured (38.6%) in 2014 to 2015. Following ACA implementation, previously incarcerated men continued to be significantly less likely to report a regular source of primary care and more likely to report emergency department use than were never-incarcerated peers.

Conclusions. Health insurance coverage improved among previously incarcerated men following ACA implementation. However, these men account for a substantial proportion of the remaining uninsured. Previously incarcerated men continue to lack primary care and frequently utilize acute care services.
Combined Frequency Domain and Time Domain Airborne Data for Environmental and Engineering Challenges
Authors: Karshakov Evgeny V. , Podmogov Yury G. , Kertsman Vladimir M. , Moilanen John
Published: March 2017

We describe the main properties of the EQUATOR airborne geophysical system and how the system can be employed to solve some engineering and environmental problems. To date, the EQUATOR system has been used for groundwater search in 2014 and 2015 in Siberia. The name “EQUATOR” originates from the intention to EQUATE, or to balance time and frequency domain approaches in airborne electromagnetics, which is why the system was originally designed. To the best of our knowledge, EQUATOR is the only system to collect electromagnetic data both in time and in frequency domains. We further explain the difference between the two methods on some numerical and field examples. Also we describe some advantages of their coupling. In particular, by virtue of our approach, a numerically more robust solution of the one-dimensional electromagnetic inverse problem may be achieved. The recorded full-time measurements are further converted to in-phase, quadrature and off-time responses, as opposed to standard frequency or time domain solutions, which have been widely adapted within the industry. When inverting the data, our main focus is within the top 100 m of the Earth, which are the most relevant for engineering and environmental studies. We emphasize that a combined use of frequency and time domain data gives more detailed information about geological structures in the near-surface. As an example, we present some case studies obtained over a platform (Siberia) and a crystalline shield (Western Africa) setting. We further suggest using these results in such near-surface studies as sediment thickness estimation, soil state analysis, groundwater search, and geological structural analysis.
3-D Modeling for Airborne EM using the Spectral-element Method
Authors: Yin Changchun , Huang Xin , Liu Yunhe , Cai Jing
Published: March 2017

The 3-D spectral-element method (SE) based on Gauss–Lobatto–Legendre (GLL) polynomials is a very efficient and accurate solver for high-frequency computational electromagnetic (EM) modeling. Although the SE method is based on a weighted residual technique similar to the finite-element method (FE), it utilizes polynomial interpolation functions rather than linear interpolation functions. The GLL polynomials have the characteristic of exponential convergence with the order of polynomial that helps improve the modeling accuracy.

We apply the SE method in the frequency range (900 Hz to 56 kHz) to airborne EM modeling. Starting from the vector Maxwell's equations, we use the SE method to establish spatial-discrete forms of 3-D vector Helmholtz equations and adopt GLL integration to calculate the matrix elements. The magnetic field is calculated using Faraday's law. To check the accuracy of the SE algorithm, we compare our results with semi-analytical solutions for a homogeneous half-space and a layered earth model. We further analyze the influence of grids, expansion of outside boundary of model domain, and the order of interpolation polynomial on EM modeling accuracy and reveal that increasing the SE polynomial order can especially improve the accuracy for complex models. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of our SE algorithm for modeling an airborne EM system by numerical 3-D experiments.
Interpretation of Very Low Frequency Measurements Carried Out with an Unmanned Aerial System by 2D Conductivity Models
Authors: Eröss Rudolf , Tezkan Bülent , Stoll Johannes B. , Bergers Rainer
Published: March 2017

Very Low Frequency (VLF) measurements were successfully acquired using an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) as the measurement platform at two sites. The first site was characterized by strong anthropogenic anomalies and was located in Switzerland. The second site was a saltwater-freshwater transition zone in Northern Germany. The induction coils were used to measure the three components of the magnetic field of VLF transmitters. The magnetic field sensors and the corresponding data logger were suspended below a 50 kg rotary wing UAS. Prior to the test survey, noise measurements were carried out to establish a proper distance for the logger and the sensor, which were found at 2 m and 4 m from the body of the UAS, respectively. A suspension system was developed to enable stable flight characteristics in combination with the VLF system. The test flights were carried out with low speed (1 m/s) and at low altitude (approximately 3 m) above ground.

A processing algorithm was developed to analyze the time series of the measured magnetic fields. Transfer functions for the vertical magnetic field were derived using both a scalar and a bivariate analysis approach. After rotating the transfer functions into the strike direction of the 2D subsurface anomaly, a two dimensional inversion method was applied for the interpretation of the conductivity structure to a depth of 15 m.

In addition, radiomagnetotelluric (RMT) measurements were carried out on the same UAS-VLF profiles. The RMT data were interpreted by 2D inversion for comparison and are used here to derive the background resistivity, which cannot be achieved by VLF measurements. As a result, good correlation was found between the UAS-VLF and RMT conductivity models.
Kiedy korekcja manualna zwiększa dokładność rejestracji obrazu podczas pozycjonowania pacjentów z rakiem prostaty?

Published: March 2017

Podczas pozycjonowania, całkowite przesunięcie ciała pacjenta w którejkolwiek z osi jest sumą przesunięć uzyskanych w wyniku korekcji automatycznej (program komputerowy) i manualnej, zależnej od subiektywnej oceny obserwatora.Celem badania było określenie progu dla korekcji manualnej, powyżej którego, uwzględnienie jej w sposób istotny wpływa na całkowite przesunięcie ciała pacjenta podczas radioterapii raka stercza.W badaniu wykorzystano dane obrazowe 60 pacjentów z rakiem stercza leczonych na aparacie tomoterapeutycznym w latach 2012-2015. Codzienne obrazowanie MVCT obejmowało obszar tarczowy (prostata lub prostata wraz z pęcherzykami nasiennymi) powiększony w osi długiej o 10 mm z każdej strony. Każde dzienne MVCT zostało nałożone na obrazy z planowania leczenia (kVCT) pięciokrotnie, przez pięciu niezależnych obserwatorów. Korekty manualne uzyskane przez obserwatorów zostały uśrednione dla każdej frakcji, dla każdego pacjenta.Korekcja manualna w sposób istotny wpływa na całkowite przesunięcie ciała pacjenta gdy jej wartość bezwzględna jest większa niż 1 mm. Mniejsze wartości korekcji manualnej mieszczą się w wartości błędu subiektywnej oceny obserwatora i nie powinny być uwzględniane podczas pozycjonowania ciała pacjenta. Wartości korekcji manualnej ściśle korelują z wartościami korekcji automatycznej. Korekcja manualna powinna być uwzględniana gdy bezwzględne wartości korekcji automatycznej są większe od 2 mm.
Problem kardiotoksyczności radioterapii raka piersi
Authors: Adamska Anna Julia
Published: March 2017

Rak piersi rozpoznawany jest rocznie u ponad miliona kobiet na świecie. Zgodnie z obecnym standardem wiele z nich otrzyma złożone, wielodyscyplinarne leczenie, którego nieodłącznym elementem pozostaje radioterapia. Promieniowanie jonizujące jest znanym czynnikiem uszkadzającym serce. Wykazano, że popromienna choroba serca ( RRHD - radiation-related heart disease ) może wystąpić już po dawkach < 20Gy i ujawnić się dopiero po dłuższym okresie latencji, zwykle przekraczającym dekadę. Wielkość ryzyka RRHD wciąż nie jest dobrze poznana, wydaje się jednak, iż nie istnieje dawka progowa, poniżej której to ryzyko by nie występowało. W ostatnich latach o ryzyku powikłań kardiologicznych u pacjentek napromienianych z powodu raka piersi dyskutowano wielokrotnie; zagadnienie to pojawia się zarówno w piśmiennictwie jak i jako stały element prezentacji konferencyjnych. Poniżej spleciono ze sobą krótki przegląd piśmiennictwa z omawianego zakresu wraz ze streszczeniem bardzo interesującej prezentacji dotyczącej stanu obecnej wiedzy na temat kardiotoksyczności radioterapii  raka piersi pt. ’Cardiac Issues in Breast Irradiation’, którą przedstawił dr David E.

Critical environments, including water systems in recreational settings, represent an important source of Legionella pneumophila infection in humans. In order to assess the potential risk for legionellosis, we analyzed Legionella contamination of water distribution systems in 36 recreational facilities equipped with swimming pools. One hundred and sixty water samples were analyzed from shower heads or taps located in locker rooms or in bathrooms. By culture method and polymerase chain reaction, 41/160 samples were positive for Legionella from 12/36 recreational centers. Hotels (57.1%) and sports centers (41.2%) were the most contaminated. L. pneumophila serotypes 2–14 (25/41) were more frequently found than serotype 1 (10/41). Samples at temperature ≥30 °C were more frequently positive than samples at temperature <30 °C (n = 39 vs n = 2, p < 0.00001). The presence of L. pneumophila was investigated by comparison with heterotrophic plate count (HPC), an indicator of water quality. The presence of L. pneumophila was associated more frequently with high and intermediate HPC load at 37 °C, therefore should be considered a potential source when HPC at 37 °C is >10 CFU/mL. Maintenance, good hygiene practices, interventions on the hydraulic system and regular controls must be implemented to minimize exposure to L. pneumophila infection risk.
Sick leave due to diarrhea caused by contamination of drinking water supply with Cryptosporidium hominis in Sweden: a retrospective study
Authors: Ridderstedt Frida , Widerström Micael , Lindh Johan , Lilja Mikael
Published: March 2017

We investigated sick leave from work, studies, preschool, and kindergarten occurring between 1 November 2010 and 31 January 2011 and associated with a waterborne outbreak of diarrhea caused by Cryptosporidium hominis in late November 2010 in Östersund, Sweden with 45.2% of 60,000 residents being symptomatic. A questionnaire defining acute watery diarrhoea and/or ≥3 diarrhea episodes/day as cryptosporidiosis was sent to 1,508 residents in late January 2011 (response rate 69.2%). Among adults aged 18–60 years, 24.0% took sick leave for a mean of 4.6 (SD ± 4.0) days due to cryptosporidiosis, and an additional 10.6% were absent from work a mean of 4.0 (±2.2) days to care for symptomatic children. Among children (aged ≤17 years), 35.0% stayed home sick from kindergarten/preschool or school/university for a mean of 5.2 (±3.8) days resulting in 5.1 (±4.4) days of absence from work per sick child shared between parents/guardians. The estimated total number of sick leave days was 50,000 for adults and 20,700 for children, with an estimated direct cost of €7 million for employers. The potential impact on society of sick leave caused by waterborne diseases must be considered in decisions regarding the quality of drinking water.

However, in the disciplines of Computer Science and Engineering, a vast majority of the peer-reviewed publications is communicated in the form of conference papers, and conference proceedings have become the primary channel of research communication in these disciplines. While this form of scholarly communication was effective for Computer Science as a young discipline, it introduces several limitations that make it non-optimal for a mature and established scientific field. These include the quality of the peer-reviewed work, selection of papers for publication, and also the efficacy of conferences as forums for expressing innovative and visionary ideas and providing opportunities for networking and meeting other researchers in the field. Here we review the differences between Computer Science and Engineering conference publications and the traditional journal publication used in other scientific disciplines, and discuss the effect of these differences on the scholarly communication in this field.
Creating a Successful Online Graduate Journal: Mentoring was the Key
Authors: Edmonds Kelly Ann
Published: March 2017

This article shares the establishment and journey of a Canadian student-driven academic journal. The publication is peer-reviewed and openly accessible, and is delivered online through the Open Journal Systems (OJS) developed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). The article outlines the journal’s vision, history, processes, performance, challenges, and most important, mentoring practices. Created to connect and support new scholars in the field of education, the foundation of the journal was based entirely on mentoring by volunteer graduate students experienced at composing academic publications. It was thought that if students chose to pursue the onerous task of publishing, they would need support as graduate work by itself is challenging and time consuming; additionally, the publication process was considered daunting (Pasco, 2009).
Social Sciences and Humanities Research and the Public Good: A Synthesis of Presentations and Discussions
Authors: Provencal Johanne
Published: March 2017

In May 2010, with the support of funds from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada, a one-day workshop, entitled, “Social Sciences and Humanities Research as a Public Good: Identifying Research Prospects for Advancing Research Among Academic and Non-Academic Discourse Communities” was held in Montreal, Québec. The workshop brought together Canadian stakeholders involved in extending the reach of research (for the public good), including those involved in open access and knowledge mobilization, as well as organizations linked to the research community, and non-academic organizations with a clear mandate to include research in their activities or to extend the reach of research. This article presents a summary of the workshop presentations and a synthesis of the workshop discussions. The article also provides a discussion of the emergent issues arising from the workshop (such as the sustainability of open access journal publishing, the challenges of knowledge mobilization, and the limited media uptake of social sciences and humanities research), areas of inquiry that these issues open up (engaged scholarship and the engaged university, faculty reward structures, and public knowledge/knowledge mobilization as areas of scholarly inquiry), and collaborative next steps for stakeholders to take, to address concerns raised and to seize opportunities to advance shared interests.
Theoretical Grounding for Computer Assisted Scholarly Text Reading (CASTR)
Authors: Meunier Jean-Guy
Published: March 2017

Digital humanities technology has mainly focused its development on scholarly text digitalization and text analysis. It is only recently that attention has been paid to the activity of reading in a computerized environment. Some main causes of this have been the advent of the e-book but more importantly the massive enterprise of text digitalization (such as Gallica, Google Books, World Wide library, and others). In this article, we analyze, in a very exploratory manner, three main dimensions of computer assister scholarly reading of text: the cognitive, the computational and the software dimension. The cognitive dimension of scholarly reading pertains not the nature of reading as a psychological activity but to the complex interpretative act of going through argumentations, narrations, descriptions, demonstrations, dialogues, themes, etc. that are contained in a text.
Creating a Virtual Library Classroom Tool for Digital Age Youth
Authors: Patterson Serina
Published: March 2017

This article considers the changing learning practices of today’s digital youth, the Net Generation, and the use of digital technologies to create collaborative and interactive learning spaces to meet their needs.  Specifically, the author details the creation of SD62’s Online Library website, a project designed to explore the impact of e-reading on digital age youth in the classroom.  Through the concepts of connectivity, interactivity, and accessibility, it is argued that SD62’s Online Library highlights alternate approaches to online learning and provides a foundation for better integration of Web 2.0 technology into learning environments.
On Open Books and Fluid Humanities
Authors: Adema Janneke
Published: March 2017

In light of the recent shift toward increasingly open access to scholarly work,particularly online content, this article examines the concept of openness and thepotential to reuse, adapt, modify, and remix online material in the production andconsumption of knowledge within the humanities. To this end, the theoretical andpractical applications of authorship, stability, and authority are explored, in additionto those of archive, selection, and agency in an attempt to devise a concept of the bookbuilt upon fluidity.
A Short History and Demonstration of the Dynamic Table of Contexts
Authors: Nelson Brent , Sinclair Stéfan , Brown Susan , Radzikowska Milena , Bieber Mark , Ruecker Stan
Published: March 2017

This paper presents a brief account of the form and function of the “table of contents” to establish a theoretical framework for understanding the form and function of this common element of book architecture with the aim of informing the development of a dynamic table of contexts for books and reading in the digital medium. This paper will thus theorize the relationship between textual studies and interface design in INKE, a project for Implementing New Knowledge Environments.
The Circuits of Reading the Digital: Some Models
Authors: De Rosnay Emile Fromet
Published: March 2017

In theorizing the digital text, I will take a two-pronged approach: a) what aspects of reading cannot be accounted for by the types of digital textual analysis done so far in the digital humanities, and b) how can technology (be “used” to) account for such possibilities? To answer the second question, we need to stop seeing the computer as a “means” (i.e. we “use” a computer) and to start thinking about the computer itself as a part of the literary process. This is perhaps to blur the distinction between e-literature and media studies on the one hand, and digital humanities on the other. However, it presupposes that technology is not something to be feared (as “tampering” with the text), but that it is rather something intrinsic, to be conceived on its own terms. Indeed, the computer can enhance the literary experience and highlight aspects of the text that were not noticed before, and vice versa, in a sort of feedback circuit, bringing with it hermeneutic questions that hitherto have been only indirect. What might we discover from exploring the symbiotic relationship between the text and the machine and about the minds and bodies that encounter these? Such encounters occur not only through visualization, but through sonorization and through the body. Such hybrid encounters require a broader view of language than that provided by information theory, which has apparently dominated digital literary studies. I will use my own digital humanities project on the visualization of French poet Stéphane Mallarmé’s works (http://mallarme.uvic.ca) to explore models of reading the digital.
The Limits of Modelling: Data Culture and the Humanities
Authors: Quamen Harvey
Published: March 2017

Willard McCarty’s Humanities Computing (2005) opens a dialogue about modelling in the humanities. I extend that conversation by complicating his version of the model and by looking at the limits of modelling to find out what it is not. I suggest that, unlike scientific models, humanist models cannot be separated from the mode of Humanism that produced them. I argue that databases are not always models and that the boundary between model and database helps us to understand the advantages and limitations of both. A renewed appreciation of database culture can help to move humanist scholarship in new directions.
China’s Scientific Journals in a Transforming Period: Present Situation and Developing Strategies
Authors: Ren Shengli , Stanley Adrian Thomas , Yang Hong , Benson Phillippa J. , Xu Weiguo
Published: March 2017

Based on a detailed analysis of the global academic impact of China’s scientific journals, as well as of the publishing strategies and communication media used by their publishers, we conclude that the Science, Technology, and Medicine (STM) journal publishing industry in China is going through very rapid transformation. Journals are attempting to become more broadly international, and doing so by adopting new digital production methods and commercial models. In light of these efforts, we discuss the current challenges to the development of China’s scientific journal industry and suggest strategies that may be useful for reaching key goals.

Authors: Bénichou Laurence , Martens Koen , Higley Graham , Gérard Isabelle , Dessein Steven , Duin Daphné , Costello Mark John
Published: March 2017

Most natural history institutions in Europe have been scientific publishers sincetheir foundation and have a long scholarly publishing tradition. Nowadays, they areconfronted with rapid technological developments and face complex strategic andtechnical questions related to visibility, access, format, and the financial structure oftheir titles. These issues require a common vision and an international strategy toensure that the community acts in a consistent and coordinated way. A consortiumof institutions is thus launching the European Journal of Taxonomy to provide analternative public open-access business model, where neither authors nor readers haveto pay fees for subscriptions or publication. This paper focuses on the benefits for theinstitutions on taking greater control over their communication process.

Published: March 2017

In 2012-2013 a team led by Ray Siemens at the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL), University of Victoria, in collaboration with Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE), developed three annotated bibliographies under the rubric of social knowledge creation. The items for the bibliographies were gathered and annotated by members of the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL) to form this tripartite document as a resource for students and researchers involved in the iNKE team and well beyond, iincluding at digital humanities seminars in Bern (June 2013) and Leipzig (July 2013).
"All data is credit data"; or, on Close Reading as a Reciprocal Process in Digital Knowledge Environments
Authors: Hunter John C.
Published: March 2017

This paper argues that the reciprocal nature of digital networks means (1) that the privacy issues that we face online are not radically different from those of the pre-internet era and (2) that we need to reconceive close reading as an activity of which both humans and computer algorithms are capable.
Knowledge Co-Creation and Assistive Technology
Authors: Baljko Melanie , Hamidi Foad
Published: March 2017

This article presents reflections from the perspective of two computer science researchers who have used knowledge mobilization services (as opposed to technology transfer services) in service of research goals that arose from an evolving critical praxis. We situate co-created knowledge outputs, as produced from engaged modes of scholarship, in the ecosystem of assistive technology production and consumption.
