«She hangs on the western wall»: Breaking the Myth of the Renaissance in Thomas Pynchon’s V.
Creators: name: Razzi, Francesca
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2019

description:

Since the time of its publication in 1963, Pynchon’s first novel V. has been triggering an intense and still ongoing critical debate upon the function of history and tradition in contemporary literature. As a specimen of postmodern historiographic metafiction, V. enacts complex intertextual strategies, directed at debunking the Western literary tradition, thus questioning its significance in contemporary society. The present contribution aims at extending previous scholarship on the problem of tradition in Pynchon’s fiction, by focusing on the use of the Renaissance in the seventh chapter of V. selected as a case study. Far from marginal, Pynchon’s parodic references to the Italian Renaissance tradition and its cultural artifacts, whether through the artistic productions, or the idea of the Renaissance seen as a pivotal moment of the socio-historical development of the Western world, testify to the process of deconstruction of the paradigmatic role of the Renaissance for the American literary field in the late twentieth century, also in its global and transnational dimension.

« Ce que j’ai fait de votre tragédie » : Et les chiens se taisaient entre écriture, réécriture et traduction
Creators: name: Sofo, Giuseppe

Year: 2019

description:

Und die Hunde schwiegen is the German version of Aimé Césaire’s first play, Et les chiens se taisaient, first published in the poetry collection Les Armes miraculeuses. Césaire reworked the text several times, especially through his collaboration with Janheinz Jahn, a German translator who played a fundamental role in the reception of Francophone African and Caribbean literature in post-war Germany. In this article, the collaboration between Césaire and his translator, which resulted in a parallel version of the text in German, will be analysed. The paths of writing and rewriting of the tragedy between French and German, thus, give us the opportunity to study the collaboration between Césaire and Jahn, as well as the proximity between rewriting and translation.

description: Hilbert and Moore treemaps are based on the same named space-filling curves to lay out tree-structured data for visualization. One main component of them is a partitioning subroutine, whose algorithmic complexity poses problems when scaling to industry-sized datasets. Further, the subroutine allows for different optimization criteria that result in different layout decisions. This paper proposes conceptual and algorithmic improvements to this partitioning subroutine. Two measures for the quality of partitioning are proposed, resulting in the min-max and min-variance optimization tasks. For both tasks, linear-time algorithms are presented that find an optimal solution. The implementation variants are evaluated with respect to layout metrics and run-time performance against a previously available greedy approach. The results show significantly improved run time and no deterioration in layout metrics, suggesting effective use of Hilbert and Moore treemaps for datasets with millions of nodes.

description: The paper for the usefulness of the term intermediality to account for hybrid intermedia and interart practices at the core of adaptation. Engaging with A Cock and Bull Story, Michael Winterbottom’s film adaptation based on Sterne’s Tristram Shandy, the analysis skirts the difficulties signaled by the terms fidelity, literature, taxonomy, and evaluation. Instead, the paper’s method is based on isolating the levels of mediality, transmediality and intermediality. It holds that Winterbottom’s film adaptation of a foundational metafiction lays bare the specific mediality not only of literature and film. The movie’s system contamination is focused on the in-between process of adaptation. It follows that ‘metadaptations’ (i.e., texts that foreground their own adaptive processes) constitute an heuristically rich subgenre among adaptations.

description: Electrons on helium form a unique two-dimensional electron system on the interface of liquid helium and vacuum. On liquid helium, trapped electrons can arrange into strongly correlated states known as Wigner molecules, which can be used to study electron interactions in the absence of disorder, or as a highly promising resource for quantum computation. Wigner molecules have orbital frequencies in the microwave regime and can therefore be integrated with circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED), which studies light-matter interactions using microwave photons. Here, we experimentally realize a cQED platform with the orbital state of Wigner molecules on helium. We deterministically prepare one to four-electron Wigner molecules on top of a microwave resonator, which allows us to observe their unique spectra for the first time. Furthermore, we find a single-electron-photon coupling strength of g/2$π$ = 4.8$\pm$0.3 MHz, greatly exceeding the resonator linewidth $κ$/2$π$ = 0.5 MHz. These results pave the way towards microwave studies of strongly correlated electron states and coherent control of the orbital and spin state of Wigner molecules on helium.}

description: This article discusses the neo-Victorian transmedia performance of Emilie Autumn, in the light of the “disproportionate attention” given to sensationalist tropes in feminist and queer criticism (Kohlke and Gutleben 2010: 23). Her burlesque performance may, on the one hand, be criticised as commodified neo-Victorianism, but, on the other hand, it can be seen as disturbing the bland heritage formulae still governing many neo-Victorian adaptations. Autumn comes in various guises that give rise to a plethora of fan engagement and foster controversy and publicity, such as her autobiographical neo-Victorian novel, An Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls (2009), her music albums, such as Enchant (2003), Opheliac (2006) or Fight Like a Girl (2012), songs (‘Miss Lucy Had Some Leeches’), poems and performances and tours in the USA and Europe. Addressing Autumn as an example of ‘performative’ neo-Victorianism, this article asks the same question that Christine Ferguson has posed with reference to steampunk subcultures: should her transmedia personae be described as an apolitical surface style or is there any substantial subcultural commitment in her contemporary adaptations of Victorianism?

description: The most general theory of gravity in d-dimensions which leads to second order field equations for the metric has [(d-1)/2] free parameters. It is shown that requiring the theory to have the maximum possible number of degrees of freedom, fixes these parameters in terms of the gravitational and the cosmological constants. In odd dimensions, the Lagrangian is a Chern-Simons form for the (A)dS or Poincare groups. In even dimensions, the action has a Born-Infeld-like form. Torsion may occur explicitly in the Lagrangian in the parity-odd sector and the torsional pieces respect local (A)dS symmetry for d=4k-1 only. These torsional Lagrangians are related to the Chern-Pontryagin characters for the (A)dS group. The additional coefficients in front of these new terms in the Lagrangian are shown to be quantized.

description: We use optical and near-infrared spectroscopy to observe rest-UV emission lines and estimate the black hole mass of WISEA J224607.56-052634.9 (W2246-0526) at z = 4.601, the most luminous hot dust-obscured galaxy yet discovered by WISE. From the broad component of the MgII-2799A emission line, we measure a black hole mass of log (M_BH/M_sun) = 9.6 +- 0.4. The broad CIV-1549A line is asymmetric and significantly blue-shifted. The derived M_BH from the blueshift-corrected broad CIV line width agrees with the MgII result. From direct measurement using a well-sampled SED, the bolometric luminosity is 3.6 * 10^14 L_sun. The corresponding Eddington ratio for W2246-0526 is lambda_Edd = L_AGN / L_Edd = 2.8. This high Eddington ratio may reach the level where the luminosity is saturating due to photon trapping in the accretion flow, and be insensitive to the mass accretion rate. In this case, the M_BH growth rate in W2246-0526 would exceed the apparent accretion rate derived from the observed luminosity.

We consider the hard dimer model on phi3 and phi4 random graphs to test the universality of the exponent with respect to coordination number, and the Ising model in an external field to test its temperature independence. The results here for generic (``thin'') random graphs provide an interesting counterpoint to the discussion by Staudacher of these models on planar random graphs.

description: Using the density matrix renormalization group algorithm, we investigate the lattice model for spinless fermions in one dimension in the presence of a strong interaction and disorder. The phase sensitivity of the ground state energy is determined with high accuracy for systems up to a size of 60 lattice constants. This quantity is found to be log-normally distributed. The fluctuations grow algebraically with system size with a universal exponent of ~2/3 in the localized region of the phase diagram. Surprizingly, we find, for an attractive interaction, a delocalized phase of finite extension. The boundary of this delocalized phase is determined.

description: The paper discusses hybrid writing practices which emerge as a consequence of digital coding in electronic media and therefore also transform the materiality of ‘classic’ media. It argues that practices of adaptation have been re-shaped; digital advances in Artificial Intelligence that have not been taken into consideration by adaptation studies. The interconnected digital world holds large quantities of available data and it is conceived as an ever-changing space of permanent copy and constant adaptation. It is shaped by fluid, textual recombination (e.g., remix, mashup, intermedia trailer, remediation, remake, fanfiction). The focus in this essay will be on automated writing practices executed through artificial neural networks or deep-learning applications that algorithmically recognize and imitate writing patterns as further typical manifestations of aesthetic practices in an information-rich society. It assesses these algorithmic writing practices as digital art, in relation to modernist, surrealist, and Dadaist avant-garde experimentation with automated writing. In addition, the essay raises the question of the present role and function of adaptation as a genre, and adaptations as texts, as quite separate from adapting as a human cultural technique (Kulturtechnik) in the context of newly defined modalities and cultural literacies. Advocating a wide notion of adaptation, the contribution launches a definition of posthuman adaptation that applies Actor-Network Theory to adaptation studies.

description: According to prior studies, female researchers in Austria exhibit a very high level of childlessness and, consequentially, a low mean number of children. Following up on these studies, we analyse childlessness intentions of young female researchers and compare them to those of other highly educated women in other occupations. We examine factors that are related to female researchers’ intent to stay childless. The analysis is based on a survey of 196 female researchers between the ages of 25 and 45 (with the majority being between age 25 and 34). Results indicate that few young, childless researchers plan a life without children: Only 7% intend to stay childless and most of them want to have two children (66%). Their intentions are strikingly close to those of their highly educated peers in other occupations. We discuss three factors that play a role for childlessness intentions of female researchers: work-related conditions (employment uncertainty and work-family reconciliation), personal career orientation, and partnership context. Zusammenfassung Bisherige Studien haben nachgewiesen, dass Wissenschaftlerinnen in Österreich sehr häufig kinderlos bleiben und dass daher ihre mittlere Kinderzahl sehr niedrig liegt. Ausgehend von diesen Studien untersuchen wir intendierte Kinderlosigkeit unter jungen Wissenschaftlerinnen im Vergleich zu ebenfalls höher gebildeten Frauen in anderen Berufen. Des Weiteren analysieren wir Faktoren, die mit gewünschter Kinderlosigkeit von Wissenschaftlerinnen in Zusammenhang stehen. Die Studie basiert auf einer Befragung von 196 Wissenschaftlerinnen im Alter von 25 bis 45 Jahren (die Mehrheit ist 25 bis 34 Jahre alt). Die Ergebnisse verweisen darauf, dass nur wenige junge, kinderlose Wissenschaftlerinnen ein Leben ohne Kinder planen: Nur 7% wollen kinderlos bleiben und die meisten wünschen sich zwei Kinder (66%). Ihre gewünschte Kinderzahl ähnelt in hohem Maß jener ihrer hoch gebildeten Vergleichsgruppe außerhalb der Wissenschaft. Wir diskutieren drei Faktoren, die wesentlich für gewünschte Kinderlosigkeit von Wissenschaftlerinnen sind: berufliche Bedingungen (prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse, Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf), persönliche Karriereorientierung und Partnerschaftssituation.

description: This essay considers the ways in which new intertextual forms engendered by emerging technologies—mashups, remixes, reboots, samplings, remodelings, transformations—further develop the impulse to adapt and appropriate, and the ways in which they challenge the theory and practice of adaptation and appropriation. It argues that broad notions of adaptation in adaptation studies and the emergence of media protocols are useful for the analysis of recombinant appropriations and adaptations/appropriations in general. Best read in conjunction with the companion essay by Kyle Meikle in this volume, it explores the political and aesthetic dimensions of participatory mashups and viewer engagements with, and appropriations of, transmedia franchises, taking a variety of Internet memes and the BBC franchise Sherlock as case studies and focusing on the politically, ethically, and aesthetically transgressive potential of recombinant adaptations.

Gendered division of housework in Germany – The role of self-employment, relative resources and gender role orientation
Creators: name: König, Stefanie

Publisher: name: JFR - Journal of Family Research
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the division of housework within couples in Germany by taking employment status, relative resources and gender role orientation into consideration. We use a large scale primary data collection that deliberately oversampled self-employed and included questions on role orientation. While selfemployment and work autonomy was related to a lower share of housework for men, rather the opposite was true for women. Furthermore, the results indicate that the relative resources and bargaining theory and the time budget approach seem to be less relevant for female self-employed compared to their employed counterparts. Our data allowed for a direct control of the gender role orientation and shed more light on the relationship between relative resources and the share of housework. A traditional role orientation was found to be highly significant for the share of housework for men and women but did not moderate the effect of relative resources. Thereby our study supports the distinct effect of gender role orientation. This can be seen as an important contribution to the ongoing discussion where relative resources are interpreted in the light of gender role orientation. Zusammenfassung Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Untersuchung der Aufteilung der Hausarbeit bei Paaren in Deutschland unter Berücksichtigung des Berufsstatus, der relativen Ressourcen und der Geschlechterrollenorientierung. Es wird eine umfassende Primärerhebung ausgewertet, die überproportional Selbständige erfasst und Fragen zur Rollenorientierung beinhaltet. Während Selbständigkeit und Autonomie eher zu einer niedrigeren Übernahme von Haushaltsaufgaben bei Männer führt, trifft für Frauen eher das Gegenteil zu. Zudem deuten die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass die relative resources and bargaining theory und der Zeitbudget-Ansatz für Frauen in der Selbständigkeit weniger relevant sind als für abhängig Beschäftigte. Unsere Daten erlauben die direkte Kontrolle der Rollenorientierung und geben Aufschluss über den Zusammenhang von relativen Ressourcen und dem Anteil an Hausarbeit. Eine traditionelle Rollenorientierung war hoch signifikant für den Anteil an Hausarbeit für Männer und Frauen, veränderte allerdings nicht den Effekt der relativen Ressourcen. Dadurch bestätigt unsere Studie den für sich stehenden Effekt der Geschlechterrollenorientierung. Dies kann als wichtiger Beitrag für die laufende Diskussion gesehen werden, bei der relative Ressourcen im Licht der individuellen Rollenorientierung interpretiert werden.

description: We investigated the X-ray emission properties of the powerful radio galaxy 3C 459 revealed by a recent Chandra follow-up observation carried out in October 2014 with a 62 ks exposure. We performed an X-ray spectral analysis from a few selected regions on an image obtained from this observation and also compared the X-ray image with a 4.9 GHz VLA radio map available in the literature. The dominant contribution comes from the radio core but significant X-ray emission is detected at larger angular separations from it, surrounding both radio jets and lobes. According to a scenario in which the extended X-ray emission is due to a plasma collisionally heated by jet-driven shocks and not magnetically dominated, we estimated its temperature to be ~0.8 keV. This hot gas cocoon could be responsible for the radio depolarization observed in 3C 459, as recently proposed also for 3C 171 and 3C 305. On the other hand, our spectral analysis and the presence of an oxygen K edge, blueshifted at 1.23 keV, cannot exclude the possibility that the X-ray radiation originating from the inner regions of the radio galaxy could be intercepted by some outflow of absorbing material intervening along the line of sight, as already found in some BAL quasars.

description: Based on the findings in the literature that women’s commuting can endanger the stability of couple relationships, this contribution examines correlations between commuting, dissatisfaction with the relationship, and socio-economic characteristics by means of fuzzy set analysis. The theory of social production functions serves as a heuristic framework to discuss the impact of long commutes on different areas of life. Data basis is the first wave of the German Family Panel (pairfam), conducted in 2008/2009. An N of 267 female commuters in partnerships is analyzed. The results show five configurations of female long commuters, two of them are dissatisfied with their relationship. That they are actually at risk of separation is verified by external criteria. A constituent part of both partnership configurations at risk is the presence of young children. Zusammenfassung Ausgehend von dem Befund in der Literatur, dass Pendelmobilität von Frauen die Stabilität von Paarbeziehungen gefährden kann, untersucht der Beitrag Zusammenhänge von Pendelbelastung, Unzufriedenheit mit der Paarbeziehung und sozio- ökonomischen Merkmalen mittels Fuzzy-Set- Analyse. Als heuristischer Rahmen dient die Theorie der Sozialen Produktionsfunktionen, um die Auswirkungen weiter Pendelwege auf verschiedene Lebensbereiche zu verdeutlichen. Datengrundlage ist die 2008/9 erhobene erste Welle des deutschen Beziehungs- und Familienpanels (pairfam). Es werden N = 267 Berufspendlerinnen in Partnerschaft untersucht. Im Ergebnis zeigen sich fünf Konfigurationen von Fernpendlerinnen, von denen zwei unzufrieden mit ihrer Paarbeziehung sind. Dass diese tatsächlich als trennungsgefährdet gelten können, wird mittels Außenkriterien verifiziert. Ein konstituierendes Merkmal beider gefährdeten Partnerschaftskonfigurationen ist die Anwesenheit von kleinen Kindern.

description: This experiment was designed to study the extent to which people use social learning (i.e., the incorporation of information/knowledge of others in their network) to solve complex problems. The experiment uses a multi-armed bandit problem, translated into a game in which participants have to learn which of four card decks has the most profitable cards. Participants get 20 tries to draw a card from 1 of the 4 card decks, so learning is possible through repetition: with each card drawn, the subject increases insights into the type of cards in the deck and the deck's profitability. Social learning is introduced by connecting each participant to three others, from whom they could see, each round, which deck they chose and what card they had drawn. This increased the amount of information from which to learn which deck is the most profitable one. Subjects were divided in network positions that varied in the amount of local clustering and betweenness centrality to whether bridging tie positions (higher likelihood of new information) increased the chances of learning which card deck was most profitable. The experiment tested two treatments: a competitive and a noncompetitive one. In the competitive one, the participants would also see how their total payoff ranked in comparison to that of all (9) other participants, and would be told that the three best performing players would receive a bonus in the end, while for the three worst performing players points would be subtracted. These treatments were used to test if participants were more likely to rely on information from their network in competitive contexts.

description: Combining tight-binding (TB) models with first-principles calculations, we investigate electronic and topological properties of plumbene. Different from the other two-dimensional (2D) topologically nontrivial insulators in group IVA (from graphene to stanene), low-buckled plumbene is a topologically trivial insulator. The plumbene without spin-orbit coupling exhibits simultaneously two kinds of degeneracies, i.e., quadratic non-Dirac and linear Dirac band dispersions around the Γand K/K' points, respectively. Our TB model calculations show that it is the coupling between the two topological states around the Γand K/K' points that triggers the global topologically trivial property of plumbene. Quantum anomalous Hall effects with Chern numbers of 2 or -2 can be, however, achieved after an exchange field is introduced. When the plumbene is functionalized with ethynyl (PbC2H), quantum spin Hall effects appear due to the breaking of the coupling effect of the local topological states.

Arcotheres

description: Genus Arcotheres Manning, 1993a
 Type species. Pinnotheres palaensis Bürger, 1895, by original designation.
 Diagnosis. MXP3 dactylus slender (digitiform), inserted on proximal one-third or near midlength of ventral margin of propodus, variable length; propodus linear, usually spatuliform, 2.5–3.0 times longer than wide; inner margin of widest part of ischiomerus rounded to gently angular; exopod relatively slender with proximal part of exopod not especially wide. Female P4 asymmetrical, with one side distinctly longer (usually merus, propodus, and dactylus); longer P4 and both P5 dactyli longer, different in structure than those of P2 and P3; P5 dactylus elongate, linear; ischiomeral articulation perpendicular to segment axis. Male pleon broadly triangular, telson subhexagonal, subpentagonal to broadly triangular or semicircular, widest basally near midlength. G1 relatively stout, arcuate, with or without subdistal ventral projection; G2 with exopod.
 Remarks. Arcotheres must be attributed to Manning (1993a) even though the name was first used in 1880 by Nauck in an unpublished note and later cited by Bürger (1895: 361), although he did not recognise the genus. Manning (1993a: 524) diagnosed the genus in a short note, attributed the authorship to Bürger (1895) and assigned Pinnotheres palaensis Bürger, 1895, as the type species (see also Manning, 1993a: 127, 128). Campos & Manning (2001) clarified the nomenclature of the genus (see also Ng et al., 2008: 252).
 Arcotheres is a large genus with over 30 species, with Ahyong & Ng (2021) having recently transferred another five to the genus. Ng et al. (2017) questioned the monophyly of Arcotheres (see also Ahyong & Ng, 2007b) given the diversity in form in the large genus, and singled out A. borradailei (Nobili, 1906a) and A. ridgewayi (Southwell, 1911) as being different in several features of the pereopods. Both species are here synonymised with Magnotheres globosus (Hombron & Jacquinot, 1846) (see later). The carapace, MXP3, and pereopods of A. coarctatus (Bürger, 1895) are also quite different from those of typical Arcotheres, so A. coarctatus is also referred here to its own genus, Plenotheres, new genus. As redefined in this study, Arcotheres now contains 23 valid species (Table 1).

description: We present a first principles derivation of the anomaly polynomials of 4d $\mathcal{N} = 2$ class $\mathcal{S}$ theories of type $A_{N-1}$ with arbitrary regular punctures, using anomaly inflow in the corresponding M-theory setup with $N$ M5-branes wrapping a punctured Riemann surface. The labeling of punctures in our approach follows entirely from the analysis of the 11d geometry and $G_4$ flux. We highlight the applications of the inflow method to the AdS/CFT correspondence.

A geometric model for cold water and liquid-liquid transitions

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Water is an associated liquid in which the main intermolecular interaction is the hydrogen bond (HB) which is limited to four per atom, independently of the number of neighbours. We have considered a hydrogen bond net superposed on Bernal's geometric model for liquids, which allows for different local environments for the liquid particles. In this study, a mean-field treatment of the two-dimensinal version of the model is discussed. Under pressure the model exhibits three phases of different densities and a coexistence line ending in a critical point between low and high density phases. Entropy of the HB network plays an essential role in defining the slope of the coexistence line. The model behaviour might be of interest in describing supercooled water and liquid-liquid transitions of other substances.

Gegen den Mainstream – Leitbilder zu Kinderlosigkeit und Kinderreichtum zur Erklärung der Abweichung von der Zweikindnorm
Creators: name: Diabaté, Sabine

Publisher: name: JFR - Journal of Family Research
Year: 2016

description: For decades, the ideal of a two-child family has been predominant in Germany. Nevertheless, there are people who deviate from this mainstream, taking the informed decision not to have any children at all, to have only one child or, alternatively, to have three or more children. Such differences in the number of children have long been examined, however, cultural concepts of having either lots of or no children at all, have rarely been included. The data collected in the survey “Familienleitbilder” reveals that in young adults in reproductive age, existing cultural conceptions provide new insights into the phenomenon of deviation from the norm, deviators being subject to social stigmatization. Moreover, in case of families with four and more children, a high degree of intrinsic motivation outshines all economic and structural aspects. In childless people - even more than in comparison to other groups - a discrepancy with respect to the majority becomes apparent, potentially suggesting a pressure to justify oneself to society or even to comply with the mainstream. In contrast to the advocated thesis in literature, childlessness is indeed commonly regarded as “normal”, however, rarely as desirable in terms of an ideal. Furthermore, despite the dominant two-child-norm, other family milieus have been established. Zusammenfassung Seit Jahrzehnten dominiert in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland das Leitbild der Zweikindfamilie. Dennoch gibt es Menschen, die von diesem Mainstream abweichen: Sie entscheiden sich bewusst gegen Kinder, für ein Einzelkind oder aber für drei oder mehr Kinder. Solche Paritätsunterschiede werden seit langem untersucht, jedoch selten unter Einbezug kultureller Vorstellungen zum Leben ohne oder mit vielen Kindern. Anhand der Daten des Leitbildsurveys wird für junge Erwachsene im reproduktiven Alter gezeigt, dass kulturelle Idealvorstellungen einen zusätzlichen Erkenntnisgewinn zur Normabweichung liefern und dass Abweichler eine soziale Stigmatisierung wahrnehmen. Zudem überstrahlt bei der Kinderwunschparität von vier und mehr Kindern die hohe intrinsische Motivation alle ökonomischen und strukturellen Aspekte. Bei Kinderlosen zeichnet sich – im Vergleich zu den anderen Normabweichlern am stärksten – eine wahrgenommene Diskrepanz zur Mehrheitsgesellschaft ab. Sie weist möglicherweise auf sozialen Druck hin, sich zu rechtfertigen oder sogar der Norm zu entsprechen. Entgegen der in der Literatur vertretenen These der „Kultur von Kinderlosigkeit“ besteht die verbreitete Ansicht, dass Kinderlosigkeit zwar „normal“ sei, jedoch selten erstrebenswert im Sinne eines Ideals. Außerdem haben sich trotz der dominanten Zweikindnorm weitere Familienmilieus etabliert.

description: This paper analyses changes in the distribution of equivalised gross household income and income inequality in New Zealand between 1983 and 1998. We analyse the distributional effects of changes in household structure, National Superannuation (old age pension), household socio-demographic attributes and employment outcomes, and in the “economic returns” to such attributes and employment outcomes, using a semiparametric kernel density approach, and assess the impact of these factors on alternative summary measures of inequality over the period. We find that changes in household structure and in the socio-demographic characteristics of households are the main factors contributing to the rise in inequality, while the large changes in the employment outcomes had a more modest impact, and there is little evidence of systematic effects of changes in the economic returns. The results are qualitatively robust to a variety of equivalisation, income, and weighting measures.

NELLS wave 1 and wave 2 data with linked alter information for the CDN
Publisher: name: Utrecht University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Social Sciences - Sociology (5.4)
subject: yoda

description: This dataset was constructed based on waves 1 and 2 of the NELLS panel. The NELLS survey contained ego-network questions in both waves. These questions asked respondents to list up to 5 alters with whom they discussed important personal matters (i.e., measurement of the core discussion network). Follow-up questions asked about personal characteristics of these alters. We used the original data file with the names of all alters listed (obtained from the panels' administrators) in wave 1 and wave 2 to match the data from both waves. Based on name similarity and personal characteristics, we coded whether an alter in wave 2 was also named in wave 1, whether an alter was only listed in wave 1, or whether an alter was new in wave 2. The resulting dataset had 5312 respondents with 10896 alter relations. 3284 of these were listed in both waves, 3421 only in wave 1, and 4191 only in wave 2.
The dataset was used to analyze changes in core discussion networks as a result of social media use. An article based on these analyses has been published in New Media and Society: Vriens, E. & Van Ingen, E. (2017). Does the rise of the Internet bring erosion of strong ties? Analyses of social media use and changes in core discussion networks. New Media & Society, 1(1): 1-18.
The archive contains the dataset of both waves (2008 and 2013) of the NELLS panel (open access, available via DANS KNAW), the dataset with personal identifiers of the alters (closed access), and the constructed dataset that contains a variable indicating whether the alters were present in both waves or not (restricted access, available from the authors upon request.
THE PROBLEM OF CONTENT DISTRIBUTION IN MODERN NETWORKS

Year: 2024

description: The problem of content distribution in modern networks has become increasingly complex due to the exponential growth of data and the diverse nature of user demands. This paper examines the challenges and solutions associated with distributing content efficiently and reliably in today's digital landscape. Key issues include bandwidth limitations, latency, scalability, and security, all of which impact the performance and user experience. Traditional client-server models are often inadequate for handling the sheer volume of data and the geographical dispersion of users. Emerging technologies such as Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, and edge computing are explored as potential solutions. Additionally, advancements in machine learning and adaptive algorithms are assessed for their role in optimizing content distribution. The study also highlights the importance of regulatory frameworks and industry standards in ensuring fair and equitable access to digital content. By addressing these multifaceted challenges, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of content distribution in modern networks.
