description: Hettie Gray Baker, who is as yet undiscovered by film historians, had a long and exceptional career in motion pictures. She was a writer of motion picture titles and scenarios; of library science, theatre, and fan magazine articles; and, later in life, of highly regarded books about cats. In her heyday she was scenario and film editor and eventually production editor and censorship representative at Fox studios. The range of her work, however, is not so surprising given that she was employed full-time for the motion picture industry from the early teens through the early 1950s. In 1915, Book News Monthly proclaimed that Baker was “among the leaders of the photoplay world” (331). In 1918, Photoplay described her, then working as an editor, as “the supreme authority… responsible only to [William] Fox himself” (83); and in 1922, Filmplay Journal described her career as “pioneerical,” calling her “one of the most influential people in the production of the films” (18). Although she has not figured in accounts of studio film history, Baker was clearly far from being a marginal figure in her day. She also seemed well aware of the advances she made as a woman in the film industry, commenting in 1922, for example, that she believed that her editing credit on Daughter of the Gods (1916) “was the first time that a woman’s name ever appeared on the screen as an editor” (Block 19).
Ovarian hormones modulate antidepressant-induced hippocampal cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus of adult female rats

description: Major depression is twice as common in women and symptoms are more severe in women than in men. These sex differences are linked to ovarian hormone levels in women. Interestingly, ovarian hormones may modulate antidepressant efficacy, with low ovarian hormone levels in women associated with a poorer antidepressant response. The mechanisms behind antidepressant efficacy have not yet been established, but chronic, and not acute, antidepressant treatment increases hippocampal neurogenesis in rodents and humans and normalizes hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis negative feedback in rodents and humans. The antidepressant-induced increase in neurogenesis is, therefore, one mechanism by which antidepressants may work to alleviate some depressive symptoms. In this experiment we examined the effect of ovarian hormone status on the ability of chronic antidepressant treatment to increase cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus of female rats. Adult female rats were ovariectomized (OVX) or sham ovariectomized (Sham) prior to receiving 21 daily injections with either vehicle, the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine, or the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine. Animals were then perfused, and brains were immunohistochemically processed for two endogenous markers: Ki67, which labels proliferating cells in the previous 24 hours, and doublecortin, which labels immature neurons aged 1-21 days. Ki67- and doublecortin-labeled cells were counted in two regions of the dentate gyrus: the dorsal region, important for memory, and the ventral region, important for regulating stress/emotion. Chronic imipramine treatment increased cell proliferation (Ki67-labeled cells) in the ventral dentate gyrus of Sham animals only, while chronic fluoxetine treatment increased cell proliferation in the dorsal dentate gyrus of OVX animals only. Furthermore, OVX animals receiving imipramine had an increased number of immature neurons (doublecortin-labeled cells) in the ventral dentate gyrus. OVX/water compared to Sham/water controls had significantly decreased adrenal to body weight ratios that were restored following chronic treatment with imipramine and fluoxetine. Both antidepressants also lengthened the estrous cycle. This study is the first to demonstrate that ovarian hormones modulate antidepressant-induced increases in cell proliferation in females in a drug-specific and region-specific manner, and highlights the importance of considering ovarian hormone status when examining the neurogenic effects of antidepressants.

description: Exhibitor Adelina Barrasa owned the Cine Odeón, a 3,000-seat theatre located at 29 Mosqueta in the heart of Mexico City. When the Mexican Departamento del Trabajo/Department of Labor conducted a censo obrero [census] of the film exhibition industry in 1923, Barrasa was the only woman listed as gerente o propietario [manager or owner]. At the time, Barrasa had twenty-six employees. One, most likely the day-to-day manager, was a foreigner. Two women worked as taquilleras [ticket sellers]. The remaining twenty-three employees—projectionists, their assistants, musicians, and plant staff—were all male and Mexican. Based on Barrasa’s response to the census questions, the projectionists and musicians belonged to unions. The two ticket sellers did not and were paid a mere 2.50 pesos a day (approximately $1.25 in US dollars in 1923). At the time the census was conducted, Barrasa claimed 8,000 pesos, approximately $4,000 US dollars, in exhibited or liquid capital. According to folio 96 of the Censo Obreror, the theatre operated from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm, six days a week. It is unclear from the census materials how involved Barrasa was in the day-to-day operations of the cinema or how she came to own the theatre, but when the Odeón opened in 1922, the Heraldo de México hailed it as “the premiere cinema in the capital” (6).
High temperature superconductivity from realistic long-range Coulomb and Fröhlich interactions

description: In the last years ample experimental evidence has shown that charge carriers in high-temperature superconductors are strongly correlated but also coupled with lattice vibrations (phonons), signaling that the true origin of high-Tc superconductivity can only be found in a proper combination of Coulomb and electron-phonon interactions. On this basis, we propose and study a model for high-Tc superconductivity, which accounts for realistic Coulomb repulsion, strong electron-phonon (Fröhlich) interaction and residual on-site (Hubbard \tilde{U}) correlations without any ad-hoc assumptions on their relative strength and interaction range. In the framework of this model, which exhibits a phase transition to a superconducting state with a critical temperature Tc well in excess of 100K, we emphasize the role of \tilde{U} as the driving parameter for a BEC/BCS crossover. Our model lays a microscopic foundation for the polaron-bipolaron theory of superconductivity. We argue that the high-Tc phenomenon originates in competing Coulomb and Fröhlich interactions beyond the conventional BCS description.

Auf Basis administrativer Schul- und Gesundheitsdaten belegt die Untersuchung, dass Umweltzonen nicht nur die Luftqualität verbessern, sondern auch positive soziale Effekte haben. Der Anteil der Grundschüler*innen, die aufs Gymnasium wechseln, stieg in den betroffenen Gebieten um einen Prozentpunkt. Zudem sank die Wahrscheinlichkeit für Antidepressiva-Verschreibungen um vier Prozent (von 7,3 auf 7 Prozent), wobei die Effekte bei Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen besonders ausgeprägt waren. Diese Befunde verdeutlichen, dass junge Menschen in höherem Maße von besserer Luftqualität profitieren. Die Ergebnisse sind für die Gestaltung nachhaltiger Umwelt- und Sozialpolitik relevant, da sie nahelegen, dass Bemühungen zur Luftreinhaltung weitreichende gesellschaftliche Vorteile mit sich bringen. Politische Entscheidungsträger*innen sollten daher solche Maßnahmen vorantreiben, die langfristig auch Bildung und mentaler Gesundheit zugutekommen.

description: In tomographic medical devices such as single photon emission computed tomography or positron emission tomography cameras, image reconstruction is an unstable inverse problem, due to the presence of additive noise. A new family of regularization methods for reconstruction, based on a thresholding procedure in wavelet and wavelet packet (WP) decompositions, is studied. This approach is based on the fact that the decompositions provide a near-diagonalization of the inverse Radon transform and of prior information in medical images. A WP decomposition is adaptively chosen for the specific image to be restored. Corresponding algorithms have been developed for both two-dimensional and full three-dimensional reconstruction. These procedures are fast, noniterative, and flexible. Numerical results suggest that they outperform filtered back-projection and iterative procedures such as ordered-subset-expectation-maximization.

See my future : future thinking of adolescents with a progressive life-threatening neurodegenerative illness
Creators: name: Fletcher Johnston, Meaghen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The construction of meaningful future self-representations is an important part of identity development. For adolescents living with a progressive life-threatening neurodegenerative illness, the projection of self into the future requires the movement into the unknown and uncertain realm of an illness trajectory. The purpose of this study was to examine how adolescents who are living with a progressive life-threatening neurodegenerative illness construct meaningful future self-representations. A narrative approach was utilized as the method of inquiry. Ten adolescents between the ages of 12 and 20 who had been diagnosed with a progressive life-threatening neurodegenerative illness participated in a semi-structured narrative interview. Within the interviews three lines of inquiry were followed, which explored future thinking, possible selves, and continuity in the stories of the selves over time. Data analysis occurred across four readings of the narrative transcripts. The analysis included a stepping-in and stepping-back process, allowing for individual stories to remain contextualized and for collective themes to emerge across the narratives. Major findings confirm future thinking as a contextually based activity, a construction of a range of possible selves both with and without the illness, and an ability to oscillate between these two versions of future selves. As well, the adolescents demonstrated personal continuity in the selves of the past, present, and the future. As an overarching theme, future thinking emerges as a required activity for reasons of coping, personhood, and decision-making. This research makes contributions to developmental science as well as pediatric palliative care as it extends current literature pertaining to future thinking and possible selves, thereby adding to the conceptual and theoretical knowledge base. As well, the findings highlight the importance of developing a healthcare practice that is responsive to the developmental need to create a future self and to explore all aspects of what is possible, as well as impossible.

description: On May 1, 1917, actress Bessie Barriscale invited members of the press corps and trade papers to the Paralta Plays company offices in New York. Agnes Smith, there on behalf of the Morning Telegraph, reported on the event a few days later, confessing to her readers that she had not initially known why the press had been summoned. However, the journalist quickly realized why when she arrived and saw a new sign on the door: “The Bessie Barriscale Feature Company.” Inside the Paralta offices she found Barriscale with her husband, actor Howard Hickman, director Oscar Apfel, and producer Robert Brunton. Announcing the formation of her own company whose pictures would be distributed by Paralta, Barriscale stressed the point that “good stories [would be] her first consideration” (n.p.). The Bessie Barriscale Feature Company was to start work in a new state-of-the-art studio in Hollywood, where, according to the Moving Picture World, they hoped to produce six to eight features per year with their first project to be the still extant title Rose O’Paradise (1918) (1100).

description: We prove the following result: Let $(X,g_0)$ be a complete, connected 4-manifold with uniformly positive isotropic curvature and with bounded geometry. Then there is a finite collection $\mathcal{F}$ of manifolds of the form $\mathbb{S}^3 \times \mathbb{R} /G$, where $G$ is a discrete subgroup of the isometry group of the round cylinder $\mathbb{S}^3\times \mathbb{R}$ on which $G$ acts freely, such that $X$ is diffeomorphic to a possibly infinite connected sum of $\mathbb{S}^4,\mathbb{RP}^4$ and members of $\mathcal{F}$. This extends recent work of Chen-Tang-Zhu and Huang. We also extend the above result to the case of orbifolds. The proof uses Ricci flow with surgery on complete orbifolds.

description: A traveler, adventurer, and filmmaker, Aloha Wanderwell Baker’s career spanned over twenty-five years and took her to over fifty countries. Heralded in the promotion of her lectures as “the world’s most widely travelled girl,” Aloha participated in the production of eleven travelogues from 1921 until approximately 1952. She presented these films with live lectures across the United States and internationally. The travelogues ranged in both length and style, reflective of the changing practice of travel lecture filmmaking in the first half of the 20th century and Aloha’s own evolution from crew member to producer-director.

A WORD ABOUT COMIC

description: Comedy is a comic event that has a social content, is aimed at a specific goal, and serves to create a comic conflict. It is important to pay more attention to the aesthetics and naturalness of such laughter. It will not be a mistake to call comedy and comic as synonyms in our literary studies, because these terms mean exactly the same thing. The true value of comedy is that it is a phenomenon so closely related to our social life that it loses its meaning without it. Comicism is created in social opposition, as well as through the attitude of us humans to the reality of the existing system.

description: The 1900 census found Ruth A. Baldwin, born in Connecticut in September 1886, living in San Diego with her mother, Abby Baldwin, who was divorced. Two decades later, the census found Ruth A. Pierson (née Baldwin) residing in Los Angeles with her husband, motion picture actor Leo O. Pierson, and a Japanese servant, Mr. Kogiro Yokoyama. The census lists no profession for Ruth, although her entry in the 1920 Motion Picture Studio Directory and Trade Annual suggests she was available for screenwriting positions (317). The 1920 census also makes her four years younger—twenty-nine as opposed to the thirty-three years old she should have been if we go by the earlier record. Baldwin had been busy in the intervening years. She had written for a San Diego newspaper, worked as a publicist for the San Diego Exposition, and performed what the 1920 Motion Picture Studio Directory described as “commercial art, concert work” (317). In 1913, Baldwin joined Universal Manufacturing Company as a scenario writer. In late 1916, after six months as a film editor and a brief apprenticeship with director Lynn Reynolds, she got her opportunity to direct, and Universal credited her with a total of thirteen titles. She soon left Universal, however, for reasons unknown. Beginning in 1919, Fox Film Company and Metro Pictures Corporation together credited Baldwin with six scenarios through 1921. In 1925, the Los Angeles Times reported that “Ruth Ann Baldwin, a writer” was living in a stone cabin on a 320-acre “desert ranch” (A1). There, for now, her trail ends.

description: Nothing---the absence of spacetime---can be either an endpoint of tunneling, as in the bubble of nothing, or a starting point for tunneling, as in the quantum creation of a universe. We argue that these two tunnelings can be treated within a unified framework, and that, in both cases, nothing should be thought of as the limit of anti-de Sitter space in which the curvature length approaches zero. To study nothing, we study decays in models with perturbatively stabilized extra dimensions, which admit not just bubbles of nothing---topology-changing transitions in which the extra dimensions pinch off and a hole forms in spacetime---but also a whole family of topology-preserving transitions that nonetheless smoothly hollow out and approach the bubble of nothing in one limit. The bubble solutions that are close to this limit, bubbles of next-to- nothing, give us a controlled setting in which to understand nothing. Armed with this understanding, we are able to embed proposed mechanisms for the reverse process, tunneling from nothing to something, within the relatively secure foundation of the Coleman-De Luccia formalism and show that the Hawking-Turok instanton does not mediate the quantum creation of a universe.

description: This report presents a new approach to streak-seeding based on custom-designed silicon microtools. Experimental data show that the microtools produce similar results to the commonly used boar bristles. One advantage to using silicon is that it is rigid and can easily serve as an accurately calibrated end-effector on a micro-robotic system. Additionally, the fabrication technology allows the production of microtools of various shapes and sizes. A working prototype of an automatic streak-seeding system based on these microtools was built and successfully applied for protein crystallization.

description: We present a finite-element approximation for the one-sided Stefan problem and the one-sided Mullins--Sekerka problem, respectively. The problems feature a fully anisotropic Gibbs--Thomson law, as well as kinetic undercooling. Our approximation, which couples a parametric approximation of the moving boundary with a finite element approximation of the bulk quantities, can be shown to satisfy a stability bound, and it enjoys very good mesh properties which means that no mesh smoothing is necessary in practice. In our numerical computations we concentrate on the simulation of snow crystal growth. On choosing realistic physical parameters, we are able to produce several distinctive types of snow crystal morphologies. In particular, facet breaking in approximately crystalline evolutions can be observed.

description: After her success as a film critic, novelist, and co-founder of the London Film Society in 1925, Iris Barry’s career took a major downturn in the fall of 1930. She ran afoul of her employer, Lord Rothermere, publisher of the Daily Mail, when she panned the Elinor Glyn film Knowing Men (1930). Although Glyn was well-known as a romantic novelist and screenwriter, Barry found her film to have been made on “an abysmally low level” (qtd. in Sitton 2014, 145). Rothermere took Glyn to dinner on opening night and, without consulting Barry, promised her a favorable review. The next day Iris received a check for the balance of her contract: “No questions. No excuses. No job” (Sitton 145). Native product had long been under siege at the box office by American competitors and Iris also suspected she had proven less a fan of British films than Rothermere expected.

Berechnungen auf der Grundlage von Daten des World Value Survey zeigen, dass das gesellschaftliche Rollenbild der Frau in den letzten Jahrzehnten in Deutschland deutlich moderner geworden ist. In der letzten Befragungswelle lehnten mehr als 80 Prozent eine Bevorzugung von Männern bei Jobknappheit am Arbeitsmarkt ab. In den Befragungen stellt sich heraus, dass Frauen tendenziell egalitärere Vorstellungen zu Geschlechterrollen am Arbeitsmarkt haben als Männer. Im internationalen Vergleich herrschen heutzutage in Deutschland relativ egalitäre Vorstellungen zu Geschlechterrollen vor. Insbesondere unter den nördlichen EU-Mitgliedstaaten gibt es jedoch einige Länder mit deutlich egalitäreren Einstellungen. Hingegen findet sich in vielen Teilen der Welt ein deutlich weniger egalitäres Rollenbild. Eine weltweite Modernisierung des Frauenbilds ist indes nicht zwangsläufig. Zuletzt geriet der Modernisierungsprozess sogar innerhalb Europas, in Ländern wie Italien und Spanien, ins Stocken.

Appealing to Heaven: Jephthah, John Locke, and Just War
Creators: name: Moyn, Samuel
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: History

description: This paper asks why John Locke relied so heavily on the biblical exemplum of Jephthah in the "Second Treatise of Government." The proposed answer is that Locke took Jephthah to stand for the situation of judgment about the validity of norms under uncertainty. It was the contention of norms in a moment of potential warfare, not the absence of applicable norms, that Jephthah symbolized. On this specific point, Locke fits within a tradition of Protestant invocations of the story. If so, there was no need for Lockeâ€™s political theory to follow the details of the Jephthah story in other particulars. The paper pursues this argument by attributing to Locke a distinction between subjective conviction and objective validity, the latter of which he thought God alone could judge.

description: Angesichts steigender Preise für Öl und Gas sind die Investitionen in die energetische Gebäudesanierung in Deutschland zuletzt nominal gestiegen. Im Wohnungsbau sowie im öffentlichen und gewerblichen Hochbau wurden dafür im Jahr 2023 insgesamt rund 72 Milliarden Euro ausgegeben, gut zwölf Milliarden mehr als zwei Jahre zuvor. Da in diesem Zeitraum aber auch die Baupreise stark stiegen, sind die Investitionen preisbereinigt um mehr als sechs Prozent gesunken. Zur Erreichung der Klimaziele braucht es jedoch nicht weniger, sondern deutlich mehr reale Investitionen in die energetische Gebäudesanierung. Um dies zu erreichen, sind nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern europaweit entsprechende Rahmenbedingungen nötig. Eine wichtige Rolle spielen auch Investitionshilfen für energetische Sanierungsmaßnamen. Entsprechende Fördermittel hat die Bundesregierung für das Jahr 2024 zwar auf 16,7 Milliarden Euro erhöht. Will die Politik aber tatsächlich eine Trendwende hin zu mehr energetischer Sanierung erreichen, wird sie angesichts gestiegener Finanzierungs- und Baukosten künftig wohl noch höhere Fördergelder bereitstellen müssen.

In addition to the angular momentum, the tidal charge term deforms the shape of the shadow. For a given value of the rotation parameter, the presence of a negative tidal charge enlarges the shadow and reduces its deformation with respect to Kerr spacetime, while for a positive charge, the opposite effect is obtained. We also analyze the case in which the combination of the rotation parameter and the tidal charge results in a naked singularity. We discuss the observational prospects corresponding to the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center.

Small power : Mongolia's democratization and foreign policy objectives
Creators: name: Miliate, Brandon Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Small states are in a unique position, where they cannot hope to meet their foreign policy and security objectives through hard power. Rather, small states must balance against large neighbors via more subtle and nuanced ways. Through a critique of soft power, the author presents a new analytical framework for understanding small power and new criteria for defining “smallness” in today’s international system. Small power attempts to explain small state foreign policy decision-making and the role that “attractiveness” plays in their relations with larger states. One potential source of small power- democratic governance- is explored through a detailed look at the Mongolian model of democratization as a foreign policy tool in its “third neighbor policy”. Successful democratic transitions in small states can attract more security-related, economic, and institutional support from leading democratic countries than their small size might initially suggest.

description: Tsuru Aoki is best remembered as the wife of Sessue Hayakawa, and certainly Aoki’s role as adoring wife on- and off-screen was extremely important to the remarkable success of Hayakawa as a romantic lead in the teens and early twenties. Hayakawa’s popularity rested on the assurance that his exotic and inscrutable Oriental exterior hid a soft and romantic side, proof of which was his “little wife.” But her star image was complex, erasing her immigrant background and presenting her as a model of assimilation, with her undeniably modern American lifestyle a sharp contrast to the diminutive Oriental “doll” aspects of her persona.

description: Im vergangenen Jahr stiegen in Deutschland wie im Vorjahr die Heizenergiepreise deutlich. Sie legten um 31 Prozent zu, nachdem sie schon 2022 um 33 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr nach oben schnellten. Die höchsten durchschnittlichen Preissteigerungen gab es in Rheinland-Pfalz, die niedrigsten in Hamburg, wie Berechnungen basierend auf Daten des Immobiliendienstleisters ista zeigen. Die Preissteigerungen und die anhaltenden Bemühungen, Energie zu sparen, ließen den temperaturbereinigten Energiebedarf der beobachteten Zwei- und Mehrparteienhäuser um durchschnittlich knapp vier Prozent zurückgehen. Dies war etwas weniger als noch im Jahr 2022. Am stärksten sparten die Haushalte in Sachsen. Parallel sanken auch die temperaturbereinigten Emissionen pro Quadratmeter etwas weniger als im Vorjahr. Mit sich stabilisierenden Heizenergiepreisen wird der Preisdruck voraussichtlich nachlassen, was auch die Dynamik bei den Emissionseinsparungen bremsen dürfte. Um die Klimaziele zu erreichen, müssen also weitere Anstrengungen, insbesondere bei der Energieeffizienz im Gebäudesektor und beim Wechsel der Heizungssysteme, unternommen werden.

description: Punctulata fusciptera Wang, 2006 (Figs 6, 14, 16) Punctulata fusciptera Wang, 2006: 158. TL: China (Hubei). TD: NKU. Material examined. Type material. CHINA, Hubei: Holotype ♂, Shennongjia (31.45 °N, 110.40°E), 1100 m, 19.VII.2003, leg. SL Hao, slide No. W03186. Paratypes: 2♂ 1♀, 17–18.VII.2003, other data as holotype, slide Nos. W04020 ♂, W04024 ♀. Diagnosis. Punctulata fusciptera (Fig. 6) is similar to P. ningshanensis (Fig. 7) in appearance and in male genitalia, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the less sclerotized distal portion of the uncus, the slender basal process of the costa pointed at apex, and the distally dilated valva (Fig. 14). In P. ningshanensis, the distal portion of the uncus is heavily sclerotized, the stout basal process of the costa is rounded at apex, and the valva is slightly widened distally (Fig. 12). The female genitalia are diagnostic by the funneled antrum and the ductus seminalis arising from the middle of the ductus bursae (Fig. 16). Distribution. China (Hubei).

description: We consider a recurrent Markov process which is an Itô semi-martingale. The Lévy kernel describes the law of its jumps. Based on observations X(0),X(Δ),...,X(nΔ), we construct an estimator for the Lévy kernel's density. We prove its consistency (as nΔ->\infty and Δ->0) and a central limit theorem. In the positive recurrent case, our estimator is asymptotically normal; in the null recurrent case, it is asymptotically mixed normal. Our estimator's rate of convergence equals the non-parametric minimax rate of smooth density estimation. The asymptotic bias and variance are analogous to those of the classical Nadaraya-Watson estimator for conditional densities. Asymptotic confidence intervals are provided.

A dichotomy theorem for minimizers of monotone recurrence relations

description: Variational monotone recurrence relations arise in solid state physics as generalizations of the Frenkel-Kontorova model for a ferromagnetic crystal. For such problems, Aubry-Mather theory establishes the existence of "ground states" or "global minimizers" of arbitrary rotation number. A nearest neighbor crystal model is equivalent to a Hamiltonian twist map. In this case, the global minimizers have a special property: they can only cross once. As a nontrivial consequence, every one of them has the Birkhoff property. In crystals with a larger range of interaction and for higher order recurrence relations, the single crossing property does not hold and there can exist global minimizers that are not Birkhoff. In this paper we investigate the crossings of global minimizers. Under a strong twist condition, we prove the following dichotomy: they are either Birkhoff, and thus very regular, or extremely irregular and nonphysical: they then grow exponentially and oscillate. For Birkhoff minimizers, we also prove certain strong ordering properties that are well known for twist maps.

description: We construct novel static, asymptotically $AdS_5$ black hole solutions with Bianchi VII$_0$ symmetry that are holographically dual to superconducting phases in four spacetime dimensions with a helical p-wave order. We calculate the precise temperature dependence of the pitch of the helical order. At zero temperature the black holes have vanishing entropy and approach domain wall solutions that reveal homogenous, non-isotropic dual ground states with emergent scaling symmetry.

description: Isabel Acuña met José Nepomuceno, a Filipino film pioneer, while he was shooting his third film, Un Capello Marchito/The Wilted Rosebud (1920), in Manila in 1920. She was sixteen years old, and her younger sister, Luisa Acuña, was starring in the film. Nepomuceno founded Malayan Movies together with his brother, Jesús, in Manila in 1917, after previously having run a successful photography studio there. Two years later they made the earliest known fiction film directed by a Filipino, Dalagang Bukid/Country Maiden (1919) (Tofighian 2008, 78).

description: Können Zentralbanken einen wirksamen Beitrag zur Finanzmarktintegration leisten? Im Januar 2007 hat die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) erstmals eine einheitliche Liste der Vermögenswerte, die Banken als Sicherheiten verpfänden können, eingeführt und dabei auch grenzüberschreitende Bankkredite aufgenommen. Dieser Wochenbericht untersucht, wie sich diese Änderung auf das Verhalten der Banken im Euroraum ausgewirkt hat. Die Analyse zeigt: Die betroffenen Banken haben ihre Kreditvergabe ausgeweitet und sind risikobereiter geworden, während die mit diesen Banken verbundenen Unternehmen einen Anstieg ihrer Gesamtverschuldung und ihrer Investitionen verzeichnen. Der Effekt auf die grenzüberschreitende Kreditvergabe ist positiv. Er beschränkt sich jedoch auf Kredite, die von mehreren Banken an ein Unternehmen bewilligt werden (Konsortialkredit), wovon eins meist ein inländisches ist. Somit hat der Sicherheitenrahmen nur beschränkt zur Finanzmarktintegration beigetragen. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass stattdessen starke reale Hindernisse für die grenzüberschreitende Kreditvergabe, wie kulturelle und sprachliche Unterschiede und Unterschiede im Unternehmensinsolvenzrecht, bestehen.
