Devil-nets of clues: True Detective and the search for meaning
Authors: Tybjerg Casper 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This article examines the first season of the hit television series True Detective (2014) with respect to the claim that it deliberately adopted a form fitting the new world of digital television. The article argues that this embrace is less than complete: the show seeks an immersive, novelistic experience rather than something entirely new. It further argues that this immersive experience is supported by the series’ richly detailed background and by its invocation of various aspects of weird fiction. The article also discusses some of the institutional factors shaping the series: the availability of the puzzle film genre as an interpretive framework, the existence of an audience interested in assuming the attitude of what Jason Mittell has called the forensic fan, and the choice of a traditional, one-episode-per-week release schedule. Finally, the article discusses the show’s ending and the disappointed reactions of critics and fans, arguing that the idea that the show intended to exploit digitization by adopting a more game-like approach, offering clues that could only be found using digital tools, is undercut by the many loose ends left unresolved by the finale. The article concludes that the density and detail of the series’ background, inviting viewers to explore, should be regarded not as providing pieces of a puzzle to be solved, but as an opportunity to deepen viewer engagement.
The development of transnationality in Danish Noir – from Unit One to The Team
Authors: Agger Gunhild 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The idea of transnationality is often used as a key concept to explain current developments in production and distribution of TV drama. However, this term can be understood in different ways with different implications. The main purpose of this article is to map prevalent uses of the term and to investigate the development of transnationality in Danish Noir during the period 2000–2015. The concepts of internationalism and globalization as well as Nordic Noir are used to frame the theoretical discussion of transnationality. Inspired by recent developments in film theory, the argument is that implications of transnationality should be discussed at different levels – production, overall theme and story, aesthetics, reception and distribution. The impact of transnationality at these levels are examined and illustrated in the analyses. Four TV series, all of them authored by Peter Thorsboe and Mai Brostrøm, are selected to trace the transnational development in Danish Noir. Unit One is seen as the international breakthrough. The Eagle and The Protectors illustrate an increasing transnational development at all levels, and The Team represents its provisional culmination. The conclusion seeks to answer whether there is a limit to transnationality.
Del píxel a las resonancias visuales: La imagen con voz propia

Esta investigación aborda el problema de la detección aspectos latentes en grandes colecciones de imágenes de obras de artista abstractas, atendiendo sólo a su contenido visual. Se ha programado un algoritmo de descripción de imágenes utilizado en visión artificial cuyo enfoque consiste en colocar una malla regular de puntos de interés en la imagen y seleccionar alrededor de cada uno de sus nodos una región de píxeles para la que se calcula un descriptor que tiene en cuenta los gradientes de grises encontrados. Los descriptores de toda la colección de imágenes se pueden agrupar en función de su similitud y cada grupo resultante pasará a determinar lo que llamamos “palabras visuales”. El método se denomina Bag-of-Words (bolsa de palabras). Teniendo en cuenta la frecuencia con que cada “palabra visual” ocurre en cada imagen, aplicamos el modelo estadístico pLSA (Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis), que clasificará de forma totalmente automática las imágenes según su categoría formal. Esta herramienta resulta de utilidad tanto en el análisis de obras de arte como en la producción artística. Palabras-clave: visión artificial; modelo Bag-of-Words; CBIR (Recuperación de imágenes por contenido); pLSA (ANÁLISIS PROBABILÍSTICO DE ASPECTOS LATENTES); palabra visual From pixel to visual resonances: Images with voicesAbstractThe objective of our research is to develop a series of computer vision programs to search for analogies in large datasets—in this case, collections of images of abstract paintings—based solely on their visual content without textual annotation. We have programmed an algorithm based on a specific model of image description used in computer vision. This approach involves placing a regular grid over the image and selecting a pixel region around each node. Dense features computed over this regular grid with overlapping patches are used to represent the images. Analysing the distances between the whole set of image descriptors we are able to group them according to their similarity and each resulting group will determines what we call "visual words". This model is called Bag-of-Words representation Given the frequency with which each visual word occurs in each image, we apply the method pLSA (Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis), a statistical model that classifies fully automatically, without any textual annotation, images according to their formal patterns. In this way, the researchers hope to develop a tool both for producing and analysing works of art.

Development of morphological awareness through English songs: a case study
Authors: Feng Teng 
Published: August 2016

AbstractThe present study investigated the effects of English songs on morphological development— inflection, derivation, and compound words. Fifty Chinese EFL students were involved in this study. Two tests were administered to each learner immediately before and after the study. Results from the pre-tests revealed that all three groups with different vocabulary sizes brought some morphological knowledge to the study. The findings exhibited some evidence to support the fact that teaching through English songs can lead to the development of learner’s receptivity to morphology. However, exposure to the song was insufficient to develop productive knowledge in most of the learners. The study also revealed that groups with smaller vocabulary tended to achieve lower scores than groups with larger vocabulary. Based on these results and previous findings, pedagogical implications were made.
A contrastive pragmatic study of politeness strategies in disagreement between native speakers of English and Chinese EFL learners
Authors: Yan Chu 
Published: August 2016

AbstractThis paper attempts to make a contrastive cross-cultural study of a special speech act— “disagreement.” Participants are 35 American undergraduates and 42 Chinese undergraduates respectively with the data eliciting technique—DCT (discourse completion test). Findings show that Chinese undergraduates tend to use different politeness strategies according to different social distance and social power while American undergraduates prefer to use positive politeness strategy most followed by negative politeness strategy, regardless of social distance and social power. The results of the study reveal cultural differences between the U.S. and China that lead to the distribution of diverse politeness strategies and also offer insights into what Chinese EFL learners are struggling with during their development of interlanguage pragmatic competence.
Multimodal integration in the perception of press advertisements within the Dynamic Model of Meaning
Authors: Wojtaszek Adam 
Published: August 2016

AbstractNew conceptualizations of meaning-making stress the importance of the contextual factors and the world knowledge resources alongside the linguistic input. The way in which these factors contribute to the ultimate understanding of messages depends largely on the type of communication involved. In advertising discourse exploitation of extra-linguistic resources seems to be exceptionally high. The present paper reports on a study in which the way the textual and pictorial channels support each other in information processing was investigated. To this end eight press advertisements have been modified in such a way that the texts were separated from the pictures and presented in this way to a group of respondents, who were asked to interpret either the texts or the illustrations alone, only later to be shown the complete versions and asked once again to report on their understanding of the messages in their original versions. In the discussion reference was made to such theoretical conceptualizations as the Dynamic Model of Meaning (

Guest Editorial: America’s Unconventional Energy Opportunity
Authors: Gee David , Pope Gregory , Thomson Alan 
Published: August 2016

Guest Editorial
The United States is in the midst of a once-in-a-generation energy opportunity. The advent of hydraulic fracturing has launched a new era of energy abundance—a stark contrast to the decades of growing domestic energy scarcity that preceded it. This abundance has contributed to a sharp reduction in oil prices during the past year. Moreover, US natural gas prices have remained well below the global average and are one-third the level of those of many of its largest trading partners.
Yet the general public shows little appreciation for, or even an understanding of, the relationships between “fracking” and increased domestic production and lower fuel costs.* A recent Pew Research Center study found that more Americans oppose hydraulic fracturing than support it, and the opposition is growing. In many parts of the country, fracturing has become a derisive term for all drilling activity.
The energy industry is losing the battle for public and political legitimacy. Eroding public support poses a threat to the ongoing progress of the industry and the US in boosting energy output, and it threatens to curtail the economic and environmental benefits of future energy production.
However, our recent report, “America’s Unconventional Energy Opportunity” by Harvard Business School (HBS) and The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), shows that a rational middle does exist (Porter et al. 2015). We found that it is possible to safeguard the economic benefits of unconventional oil production while simultaneously improving environmental performance and accelerating the transition to a lower-carbon energy future.
Divisive Debate
Opposition to unconventional production has already worked its way into public policy in many parts of the country. In late 2014, Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York banned hydraulic fracturing in the state after health officials in his administration decided on the basis of limited evidence that regardless of how drilling procedures are regulated, fracturing poses a threat to air quality, clean water, and public health. At about the same time, the citizens of Denton, Texas, which is located just a few miles from where hydraulic fracturing was perfected, passed a ballot initiative that would ban hydraulic fracturing within the city’s limits. (The ban has since been overturned by the Texas Legislature, which gave the state government exclusive jurisdiction over the oil and gas industry.)
Origins of Natural Gas Discharging From Shallow Groundwater
Authors: Darling Bruce K. 
Published: August 2016

Beyond the Headlines
Editor’s note: Professionals in the oil and gas industry often receive questions about how industry operations affect public health, the environment, and the communities in which they operate. Of particular concern today is the impact of hydraulic fracturing on the environment. In this column, JPT invites energy experts to put those questions and concerns about industry operations into perspective. Additional information about the oil and gas industry, how it affects society, and how to explain industry operations and practices to the general public is available on SPE’s Energy4me website at www.energy4me. org.
In my recent article in the July issue of JPT, I explained how the composition of natural gas establishes a basis for differentiating between thermogenic and biogenic gases. Recall that thermogenic gases are formed from the heating of organic matter in high-temperature subsurface environments. Gases that form under these conditions are typically composed of hydrocarbons ranging from one to six carbon atoms, or methane (C1) to hexane (C6).
Biogenic gases form in lower temperature regimes, usually in the near subsurface, as a result of microbial activity on buried organic matter. These gases, which are dominantly methane with very minor ethane (C2) and propane (C3), are commonly associated with coalbeds, swamps, and landfills.
We can differentiate between thermogenic and biogenic gases by considering the molar ratio of methane to ethane and other hydrocarbons (C1/( C2+ C3). As noted in my previous article, it is not uncommon for that ratio to be less than 100 among thermogenic gases and to be greater (oftentimes, much greater) than 1,000 among biogenic gases. The difference in ratios is a function of the deficiency of ethane (C2), propane (C3), and higher-chain hydrocarbons in biogenic gases.
In addition to the molar ratios, geochemistry offers a deeper look into the signatures of natural gases by mass spectrometry. This gives geochemists a powerful means of differentiating between thermogenic and biogenic gases. Specialized laboratories have the equipment needed to conduct such analyses on samples of dissolved gas in water and samples of gas collected from production wells. Such analyses focus on specific carbon and hydrogen components of the methane (C1) fraction.
Unconventional Resources Will Require Unconventional EOR
Authors: Jacobs Trent 
Published: August 2016

Conference review - 2015 Unconventional Resources Technology Conference
The Bakken Petroleum System, which includes the Bakken and Three Forks shales in North America, is estimated to hold as much as 900 billion bbl of original oil in place. However, the technically recoverable oil is a fraction of the total, estimated to be 20 billion bbl to 45 billion bbl, because most of the 8,000 producing wells have a recovery factor of about 3% to 10%.
“And in fact, 10% is anomalously high,” said James Sorenson, a senior researcher at the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC). “So it is clear with the enormous size of the prize in the ground that even small improvements in recovery could yield significant amounts of oil.”
Sorenson is leading a research project involving government agencies and several upstream companies in search of a way to squeeze more oil out of the Bakken for years to come by using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). He presented the progress of the project at the recent Unconventional Resources Technology Conference.
Sorenson said the key to understanding how well CO2 will work in tight formations is a deep understanding of how fluids move through tiny pores and microfractures. Microfractures account for much of the porosity and permeability in the Middle Bakken formation and will be important for EOR because they are also thought to contribute to long-term production.
So far, the research team has completed a series of studies using a wide range of technologies including scanning electron microscopes and computed tomography to identify rock characteristics that would allow trapped oil to be produced.
In experiments, the researchers have discovered that when small shale samples are placed into a high-pressure/ high-temperature chamber and bathed with CO2, the oil will swell and its viscosity lowers enough so that it moves through the rock. “It demonstrates that oil can be extracted and that CO2 can also permeate the rocks,” Sorenson said.
This is different from CO2 flooding in conventional reservoirs in which the goal is to displace the oil and sweep it into the production zone. Some of the experiments were able to extract 80% to 100% of the oil from the shale samples in a 24-hour period. However, Sorenson said more experiments will be needed to get a better handle on the mechanisms involved in the process.
The information obtained from the laboratory testing has been run through computer models to see how the CO2 will affect production on a larger scale. Though the models showed that production could be improved, in some cases doubled, they also showed there is a clear delay in comparison with what happens during a CO2 flood in a conventional formation.
Q&A with Hatem Nuseibeh, President and Group Representative of Total UAE
Authors: Henni Abdelghani 
Published: August 2016

Q&A
Describe Total’s major projects in the UAE and Abu Dhabi and their importance to the company.
Two things show the importance of the UAE and Abu Dhabi to Total. The first is our footprint: We are the largest international oil company (IOC) in Abu Dhabi involved across the whole energy value chain—from upstream through midstream to downstream.
In the upstream sector, we operate the Abu Al Bukhoosh (ABK) field, making us the only major IOC to operate in Abu Dhabi, and we are also a partner in the Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Petroleum Operations (ADCO) and the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Co.
In gas treatment, we are a partner in Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Co. (GASCO), while for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exportation, we are a partner in Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Co. (ADGAS).
For gas importation, we are a partner in Dolphin Energy. In the downstream sector, we are involved in the Fertil fertilizer project with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC). We are also partners with Masdar in the Shams 1 solar energy project, as well as in the Taweelah desalination project. We have a lubricant blending plant and a trading office in Dubai. This shows how important Abu Dhabi and the whole UAE is to Total.
The second important thing is the recently awarded ADCO concession, because what we have offered to ADCO for our 10% stake is a clear indication of our commitment to Abu Dhabi and its future.
Embarazo y paternidad juvenil en el Departamento del Cesar: ¿Y dónde está el padre?
Authors: Duarte Orozco Mario Alejandro 
Published: August 2016

En el departamento del Cesar, el embarazo juvenil se ha constituido en un fenómeno social que requiere del abordaje desde lo gubernamental y lo académico. Por cuanto se refiere al último aspecto, el presente artículo se convierte en un aporte reflexivo proponiendo que la emergencia de la paternidad juvenil trae consigo la necesidad de abordar las subjetividades y experiencias de estos jóvenes padres, así como los distintos roles, prácticas y actitudes dentro del marco de los significados y las consecuencias que acarrea para el individuo el reconocimiento, aceptación y ejercicio de la paternidad dentro de sus contextos personales, familiares y sociales. Para lo anterior, se propone, una visión ampliada del embarazo juvenil, no reducido únicamente a unas condiciones físicas o meramente biológicas, sino que se inserta dentro la dinámica de otras aristas como la psicológica, jurídica y cultural. Desde este último aspecto, se analiza la emergencia de la paternidad juvenil como un evento significativo, pues por un lado registra socialmente su masculinidad, y por otro lado, redirecciona su proyecto de vida. Así los cambios e implicaciones que el joven debe afrontar a partir de la noticia del embarazo y, posteriormente, con el nacimiento y crianza del hijo/hija, ponen a prueba su resistencia y formación como hombre desde las responsabilidades, la entrada al mundo del trabajo y los sacrificios que esto genera. © Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Sociales.
