description: Background: Of the 15-20% of youth in North America affected by a chronic health condition (e.g., Type 1 diabetes, cystic fibrosis) and/or mental health or neurodevelopmental disorder [e.g., depression, eating disorder, Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)], many often require lifelong specialist healthcare services. Ongoing primary care during childhood and into young adulthood is recommended by best practice guidelines. To date, it is largely unknown if, how, and when primary care physicians (PCPs; such as family physicians) collaborate with specialists as AYAs leave pediatric-oriented services. The proposed scoping review will synthesize the available literature on the roles of PCPs for AYAs with chronic conditions leaving pediatric specialty care and identify potential benefits and challenges of maintaining PCP involvement during transition. Methods: Arksey and O'Malley's original scoping review framework will be utilized with guidance from Levac and colleagues and the Joanna Briggs Institute. A search of databases including MEDLINE (OVID), EMBASE, PsychINFO, and CINAHL will be conducted following the development of a strategic search strategy. Eligible studies will: (i) be published in English from January 2004 onwards, (ii) focus on AYAs (ages 12-25) with a chronic condition(s) who have received specialist services during childhood, and (iii) include relevant findings about the roles of PCPs during transition to adult services. A data extraction tool will be developed and piloted on a subset of studies. Both quantitative and qualitative data will be synthesized. Discussion: Key themes about the roles of PCPs for AYAs involved with specialist services will be identified through this review. Findings will inform the development and evaluation of a primary-care based intervention to improve transition care for AYAs with chronic conditions.

Influence of estrogen on IL-6 response to prolonged treadmill running in elite female runners
Creators: name: Kallman, Ashley L.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: This study assessed the influence of estrogen (E2) on IL-6 and IL-1beta responses to prolonged aerobic exercise. Eumenorrheic women (n = 10) completed 90-minute treadmill running bouts at 67% VO2peak during low E2 (LE) and high E2 (HE) hormonal conditions. Resting, immediate, 24-hour, and 72-hour post blood samples were collected to determine changes in cytokines. Resting blood samples for E2 confirmed appropriate hormonal status for both conditions. Overall IL-6 concentration was significantly higher in LE (main effect; p = 0.011); however, relative exercise IL-6 percent change was not different between hormonal conditions. Interleukin-1beta was unobtainable due to procedural challenges. In conclusion, the influence of hormonal condition on IL-6 and IL-1beta in response to exercise is still unclear; therefore, it cannot be suggested that highly trained female runners should alter their training program with regards to hormonal status. Additional research is essential to add to the limited literature on this topic.

Socialization of adolescents’ weight-related behaviors: the roles of best friend and group contagion and adolescent popularity
Creators: name: Rancourt, Diana M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This study examined two peer relations concepts that may be relevant for understanding weight-related behaviors in adolescents: socialization and popularity. Data from 582 youth in grades 6-8 at an initial time point were used to examine best friend and friendship group socialization of weight-related behaviors, as well as the reciprocal effects of popularity on weight-related behaviors. Measures were administered at two time points and included self-report indices of body dissatisfaction, body-related cognitions, and dieting practices. Sociometric assessments were conducted to examine friendships and two forms of popularity (i.e., preference- and reputation-based). Results suggested that both best friend and friendship group socialization were important predictors of body dissatisfaction, muscle-gaining behaviors, and diet-based exercise, and that gender moderated these processes. Popularity was both an outcome and predictor of weight-related behaviors, and moderated best friend socialization of diet-based exercise. Overall, results were modest and suggest complex processes in peer socialization of weight-related behaviors.
Cosmological bounds of sterile neutrinos in a $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes SU(3)_R\otimes U(1)_N$ model as dark matter candidates

description: We study sterile neutrinos in an extension of the standard model, based on the gauge group $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes SU(3)_R\otimes U(1)_N$, and use this model to illustrate how to apply cosmological limits to thermalized particles that decouple while relativistic. These neutrinos, $N_{aL}$, can be dark matter candidates, with a keV mass range arising rather naturally in this model. We analyse the cosmological limits imposed by $N_{eff}$ and dark matter abundance on these neutrinos. Assuming that these neutrinos have roughly equal masses and are not CDM, we conclude that the $N_{eff}$ experimental value can be satisfied in some cases and the abundance constraint implies that these neutrinos are hot dark matter. With this information, we give upper bounds on the Yukawa coupling between the sterile neutrinos and a scalar field, the possible values of the VEV of this scalar field and lower bounds to the mass of one gauge boson of the model.

Circular polarization shows the nature of pulsar magnetosphere composition

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been argued in previous papers that an ion-proton plasma is formed at the polar caps of neutron stars with positive polar-cap corotational charge density. The present paper does not offer a theory of the development of turbulence from the unstable Langmuir modes that grow in the outward accelerated plasma, but attempts to describe in qualitative terms the factors relevant to the emission of polarized radiation at frequencies below 1 - 10 GHz. The work of Karastergiou and Johnston is of particular importance in this respect because it demonstrates in high-resolution measurements of the profiles of 17 pulsars that the relative phase retardation between the O- and E-modes of the plasma is no greater than of the order of pi. Provided the source of the radiation is at low altitudes, as favoured by recent observations, this order of retardation is possible only for a plasma of baryonic-mass particles.

Necking of thin-walled cylinders via bifurcation of incompressible nonlinear elastic solids

description: Necking localization under quasi-static uniaxial tension is experimentally observed in ductile thin-walled cylindrical tubes, made of soft polypropylene. Necking nucleates at multiple locations along the tube and spreads throughout, involving higher-order modes, evidencing trefoil and fourthfoiled (but rarely even fifth-foiled) shaped cross-sections. No evidence of such a complicated necking occurrence and growth was found in other ductile materials for thin-walled cylinders under quasi-static loading. With the aim of modelling this phenomenon, as well as all other possible bifurcations, a twodimensional formulation is introduced, in which only the mean surface of the tube is considered, paralleling the celebrated Flügge treatment of axially-compressed cylindrical shells. This treatment is extended to include tension and a broad class of nonlinear-hyperelastic constitutive law for the material, which is also assumed to be incompressible. The theoretical framework leads to a number of new results, not only for tensile axial force (where necking is modelled and, as a particular case, the classic Considère formula is shown to represent the limit of very thin tubes), but also for compressive force, providing closed-form formulae for wrinkling (showing that a direct application of the Flügge equation can be incorrect) and for Euler buckling. It is shown that the J2-deformation theory of plasticity (the simplest constitutive assumption to mimic through nonlinear elasticity the plastic branch of a material) captures multiple necking and occurrence of higher-order modes, so that experiments are explained. The presented results are important for several applications, ranging from aerospace and automotive engineering to the vascular mechanobiology, where a thin-walled tube (for instance an artery, or a catheter, or a stent) may become unstable not only in compression, but also in tension.

description: The TESS light curve of the silicon Ap star MX TrA was modelled using the observational surface distribution of silicon, iron, helium, and chromium obtained previously with the Doppler Imaging technique. The theoretical light curve was calculated using a grid of synthetic fluxes from line-by-line stellar atmosphere models with individual chemical abundances. The observational TESS light curve was fitted by synthetic one with an accuracy better than 0.001~mag. The influence of Si and Fe abundance stratification on the amplitude of variability was estimated. Also the wavelength dependence of the photometric amplitude and phase of the maximum light was modelled showing the typical for Ap Si stars behaviour with increased amplitude and anti-phase variability in far ultraviolet caused by the flux redistribution.

description: We assess the multi-wavelength observable properties of the bow shock around a runaway early type star using a combination of hydrodynamical modelling, radiative transfer calculations and synthetic imaging. Instabilities associated with the forward shock produce dense knots of material which are warm, ionised and contain dust. These knots of material are responsible for the majority of emission at far infra-red, H alpha and radio wavelengths. The large scale bow shock morphology is very similar and differences are primarily due to variations in the assumed spatial resolution. However infra-red intensity slices (at 22 microns and 12 microns) show that the effects of a temperature gradient can be resolved at a realistic spatial resolution for an object at a distance of 1 kpc.

description: Το στρόντιο είναι ένα στοιχείο που δεν συναντάται σαν μέταλλο στη φύση αλλά κυρίως στα ορυκτά στροντιανίτη και σελεστίνη. Το ίδιο σαν στοιχείο δεν έχει οφέλη για τον ανθρώπινο οργανισμό, όμως τα ραδιενεργά του ισότοπα χρησιμοποιούνται στην ιατρική και περιέχονται στις ιαματικές πηγές και βοηθούν στην ίαση τόσο δερματικών όσο και μυοσκελετικών παθήσεων. Στη διπλωματική αυτή λήφθηκαν δεδομένα για την κατανομή του στροντίου σε ιαματικά ύδατα του Ελλαδικού χώρου από τις δημοσιευμένες περιοδικές εκθέσεις του ΙΓΜΕ του 2009 και 2016, καθώς επίσης και μια σειρά άλλων δημοσιεύσεων. Λήφθηκαν δεδομένα από 190 πηγές και γεωτρήσεις. Τα δεδομένα αυτά επεξεργάστηκαν ώστε να βρεθεί η κατανομή συγκέντρωσης στροντίου και το θερμοκρασιακό φάσμα της εκάστοτε πηγής. Δεδομένα από αυτά τα υδροσημεία συγκρίθηκαν με δεδομένα από τα υδροσημεία από το αρχείο του Λέκκα (1938) ο οποίος αναφέρει 752 ιστορικές θερμομεταλλικές πηγές στην Ελλάδα ώστε να γίνει η αντιστοίχιση αυτών και στην συνέχεια έγινε αντιστοίχιση των δεδομένων με δεδομένα από τις αναγνωρισμένες ιαματικές πηγές από το ελληνικό κράτος.
Οι μεγαλύτερες συγκεντρώσεις στροντίου σε ύδατα που έχουν μετρηθεί στις πηγές και γεωτρήσεις βρίσκονται στην περιοχή της Υπάτης (17 mg/L), στην πηγή Μανδρακίου στην Νίσυρο (12 mg/L), στην γεώτρηση Καϊάφα στον νομό Ηλείας (28.7 mg/L) όπου ήταν και η μεγαλύτερη τιμή και στην περιοχή του Τρύφου (17 mg/L), ενώ οι μικρότερες τιμές παρατηρούνται στην περιοχή των λουτρών Εχίνου στο νομό Ξάνθης (0.48 mg/L) και στην περιοχή του Λουτροχωρίου στη Σκύδρα του ν. Πέλλας (0.282 mg/L) η οποία ήταν και η μικρότερη τιμή μεταξύ των δειγμάτων. Από την μελέτη της χωρικής κατανομής των περιεκτικοτήτων στροντίου στις θερμομεταλλικές πηγές του ελληνικού χώρου προκύπτει ότι στον ελληνικό χώρο δεν υπάρχουν θερμομεταλλικές πηγές πλούσιες σε περιεκτικότητα στροντίου.

Nicht unmittelbar, sondern bedingt. Zum performativen Verhältnis von Subjekt und Bild am Beispiel einer Videoprojektion

Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2007

description: Sigrid Adorf: “Not directly, but conditionally”: On the Performative Relationship between Subject and Image (Using the Example of a Video Projection) This contribution challenges the widespread belief that an effective, that is to say, performative encounter with art necessarily presupposes immediacy. It then deconstructs the assumption that such immediacy is contingent upon the “bodily co-presence” of actors and spectators. Using the example of video performance as a hybrid situated between an aesthetics of the moment and its recording, the paper questions the apodictic boundary drawn between presence and representation. Contemporary video projections, according to the claim posited here following the work of Mieke Bal, create an experiential space for spectators that embodies in hypothetical form as it were the interplay between image, language, affect, subjectivity, and memory. Direct address and confrontation turn the image palpably into a challenging counterpart, one who demands its opposite “to respond” and to take position. The paper discusses a concrete example, Elodie Pong’s “Je suis une bombe” (2006), to explore whether and how a relationship can be deduced from such encounters that might be described as having the power to effect change, not least in a political sense.

Gewalt und Geschlecht. Wahrnehmung und Medialität um 1500

Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2007

description: Maike Christadler Gender and Violence. Representation and Mediality around 1500 Executed in the “realistic” mode, many of the drawings of the Swiss artist Urs Graf show mercenaries and prostitutes, often together, engaged in love affairs. What appear to be representations of every day life are here regarded as careful constructions of gender and of how to represent it. Graf’s drawings expose the imaginary quality of gender identities and show their construction as a process of looking at and talking about images. Signing many of his works very prominently with his monogram, the artist makes himself present in the fictional space, taking the position of the first viewer of his subjects. The monogram makes visible the power of the (male) gaze in shaping what it sees – here mostly female bodies. But as evidence of artistic production, the monogram also disrupts the mimetic fiction and exposes the process of looking, thereby undercutting the power of the gaze. Here the violence of representation that shapes the perception of reality itself becomes the subject of the drawings.

description: Hildegard Frübis: “Olmert reconsiders withdrawal plans”. The Power of Images – Critical Visual Studies and Feminist Criticism In current visual representations of Islamic countries in the mass media, including newspapers and periodicals, we can observe the emergence of an image of “the Orient” that forms part of the visual politics of a “new” Orientalism. In the photograph analyzed here, three main motifs come to light: the circle around the veiled woman; the religious symbols of Islam, including the mosque; and visible signs of violence. The article considers the relationship between the photographic images – as part of mass media reporting and as products of an artistic tradition – and the reality from which they arise. At the same time, the pictures are understood as contributing to the perception and constitution of that “reality”.

description: The objectives of the review are to identify and map the evidence on interventions to enhance facility deliveries in LMICs. A study will be selected if the study meets all of the following criteria. ・Population: We will include studies that conducted on pregnant women. ・Concept: We will include studies that conducted any kinds of interventions for enhancing facility deliveries. ・Context: We will include studies that conducted these interventions in low- and middle- income countries classified by World Bank categories. ・Study designs: We will consider randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cluster-RCTs, and quasi-RCTs in this review. The scoping review will be conducted for all relevant existing literature published in English using the following online bibliographic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library. The search terms to be used in the review will be thesaurus terms and title/abstract (ti/ab). A manual search of the reference lists of relevant systematic reviews and all identified studies will be confirmed to identify additional studies that are not retrieved from the above database. Two reviewers will independently conduct an initial screening of the titles and abstracts of the retrieved studies from all the databases using the Rayyan QCRI tool. Next, all potentially relevant studies will undergo full-text screening and will be critically assessed for their eligibility in details by the two reviewers. A data extraction framework will be developed to carry out the data collection. Two reviewers will independently chart the data from each included study, following the data extraction framework. The same two researchers will cross-check the extracted information. Summarizing the data collected with the use of the extraction framework will provide information on key characteristics.

description: Recognizing objects in low-resolution images is a challenging task due to the lack of informative details. Recent studies have shown that knowledge distillation approaches can effectively transfer knowledge from a high-resolution teacher model to a low-resolution student model by aligning cross-resolution representations. However, these approaches still face limitations in adapting to the situation where the recognized objects exhibit significant representation discrepancies between training and testing images. In this study, we propose a cross-resolution relational contrastive distillation approach to facilitate low-resolution object recognition. Our approach enables the student model to mimic the behavior of a well-trained teacher model which delivers high accuracy in identifying high-resolution objects. To extract sufficient knowledge, the student learning is supervised with contrastive relational distillation loss, which preserves the similarities in various relational structures in contrastive representation space. In this manner, the capability of recovering missing details of familiar low-resolution objects can be effectively enhanced, leading to a better knowledge transfer. Extensive experiments on low-resolution object classification and low-resolution face recognition clearly demonstrate the effectiveness and adaptability of our approach.

Year: 2007

description: Marianne Koos: The Skin of Pictures. Surface and Gender in Eighteenth-Century Art Using the example of the Genevan-born cosmopolitan painter Jean-Étienne Liotard (1702–1789), the article explores the relationship between surface and gender in eighteenth-century art. In his treatise on the principles and rules of painting (1781), Liotard explains his ideal of closed, stainless, and delicate surfaces by comparing the touches in painting with the ugly traces of smallpox distorting female beauty. With this bodily metaphor concerning (female) skin, Liotard draws the attention to the material, skin-like surface of painted female subject. As a consequence of the sustained focus on the paintings’ (humanistic) content, this is an aspect that was long neglected in the discipline of art history. Recent studies point to the fundamental analytic shift that occurs by exploring the material quality of art. However, even these studies often fail to reflect the gendered, cultural, ethnic, and ethical metaphors that charge (pictorial) surfaces with meaning. The article argues that the methodology of gender studies is particularly able to contribute to a more critical perspective on the semantics of pictorial surfaces.

description: Kerstin Brandes “Exotic Savages”. Borderline Figures as a Symptom of Neoliberal Image Politics? In May and June 2006, an advertisement, published by Germany’s large TV magazine HÖRZU as part of its latest campaign, caused vehement and widespread protest. It represented a white man in a business suit and a scantily clad African woman with a lip plate, combined with the campaign slogan: “at some point, one doesn’t accept just anything”. Opposing the protest, the Deutscher Werberat, the self-regulatory body of the German advertising industry, insisted that the poster represented an emancipated relationship between two consenting adults. This article discusses the controversial opinions regarding the sexist and racist nature of the advertisement. It argues that the black woman portrayed functions as a borderline figure, challenging the precarious crossroads of neoliberal claims of visual normalization and the conditions of anti-sexist/anti-racist critique in the field of vision. Exploring the various images of black femininity and representational types that the image evokes – from the female (black) beauty to the African tribal woman to the monstrous female – the article provides an analysis of the interaction between a Western/European/White collective visual memory and the history of the mutual production of beauty norms and racisms.

description: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils are short-lived leukocytes that migrate to infected sites under the acute immune response where they phagocytose, and degranulate to kill microbes. Additionally, neutrophils were found to form Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs). In this process, known as NETosis, the nuclear lobules disappear, the chromatin expands and the DNA is expelled and is decorated with antimicrobial proteins. The signalling mechanisms leading to the formation of NETs are poorly understood. In addition, neutrophils are terminal cells and are not suitable for conventional analytical techniques, which complicate their study using genetic or other biological approaches. Here, we envisage a chemical biology approach to investigate the signalling processes regulating NET formation. The focus of this project is to identify the molecular targets involved in the NET formation process by using chemical inhibitors that may block this process at different stages. At the same time, this approach may lead to the identification of novel therapeutic entities. To achieve this, a screen was first developed using isolated human neutrophils and two commercial library were screened. Here, the inhibition of induced NET formation was analyzed using nuclear morphology and cell viability as readouts in a single protocol. As a result of this screen, we could show that the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway is involved in NET formation through activation of NADPH oxidase and up-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins. In addition, the screening of a chemical library generated in the group enabled the identification of a tetrahydroisoquinolines a novel compound class inhibitors of NET formation.

description: Observations of the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters suggest for the presence of turbulence and the magnetic fields existence has been proved through observations of Faraday Rotation and synchrotron emission. The ICM is also known to be filled by a rarefied weakly collisional plasma. In this work we study the possible signatures left on Faraday Rotation maps by collisionless instabilities. For this purpose we use a numerical approach to investigate the dynamics of the turbulence in collisionless plasmas based on an magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) formalism taking into account different levels of pressure anisotropy. We consider models covering the sub/super-Alfvénic and trans/supersonic regimes, one of them representing the fiducial conditions corresponding to the ICM. From the simulated models we compute Faraday Rotation maps and analyze several statistical indicators in order to characterize the magnetic field structure and compare the results obtained with the collisionless model to those obtained using standard collisional MHD framework. We find that important imprints of the pressure anisotropy prevails in the magnetic field and also manifest in the associated Faraday Rotation maps which evidence smaller correlation lengths in the collisionless MHD case. These points are remarkably noticeable for the case mimicking the conditions prevailing in ICM. Nevertheless, in this study we have neglected the decrease of pressure anisotropy due to the feedback of the instabilities that naturally arise in collisionless plasmas at small scales. This decrease may not affect the statistical imprint differences described above, but should be examined elsewhere.

"[Ich]": Fusionen des Autobiographischen in der Kunstgeschichte
Creators: name: Heinz, Kathrin
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2007

description: Kathrin Heinz “[I]”: Functions of the Autobiographical in Art History Based on autobiographical testimony by Wassily Kandinsky, this paper considers the artist or rather the art historian as an author who cites the artist’s statements about himself. Discussion focuses on the often uncritical approach to such texts in art historiography. Characteristic of such an approach is the prevailing omission of questions about the constructions and functions of artists’ self-statements. Such neglect leads to consolidating the artist as the sovereign and “authentic” originator of his statements, consequently establishing the art historian’s connoisseurship and thereby perpetuating a relationship couched in mythical terms.

Constraining slope parameter of symmetry energy from nuclear structure

description: Four quantities deducible from nuclear structure experiments have been claimed to correlate to the slope parameter $L$ of the symmetry energy; the neutron skin thickness, the cross section of low-energy dipole (LED) mode, dipole polarizability $α_D$, and $α_D S_0$ (i.e. product of $α_D$ and the symmetry energy $S_0$). By the calculations in the Hartree-Fock plus random-phase approximation with various effective interactions, we compare the correlations between $L$ and these four quantities. The correlation derived from different interactions and the correlation from a class of interactions that are identical in the symmetric matter as well as in $S_0$ are simultaneously examined. These two types of correlations may behave differently, as exemplified in the correlation of $α_D$ to $L$. It is found that the neutron skin thickness and $α_DS_0$ correlate well to $L$, and therefore are suitable for narrowing down the value of $L$ via experiments. The LED emergence and upgrowth makes the $α_DS_0$-$L$ correlation strong, although these correlations are disarranged when neutron halo appears in the ground state.

description: Dans leur formule d’appel, les notaires invitent à voir les lettres. En le regardant, on découvre que l’acte regorge de signes qui sont à la fois des outils pratiques et un reflet de la nature officielle et authentique du document. La présente thèse tente de recenser les éléments de mise en forme des actes et de les expliquer à travers une étude de cas sur un fonds d’archives conservé aux Archives départementales du Loiret. Ce fonds comprend les actes pour l’Hôtel-Dieu d’Orléans concernant leurs possessions dans la paroisse Saint-Loup entre 1378 et 1569. Certains signes visuels sont évidents, comme les initiales ornées, les sceaux et les signatures. Ces deux derniers servent à authentifier le document, mais aussi l’identité derrière cette autorité. La signature, en particulier, comprend des paraphes affichant aux yeux de tous le talent du notaire pour la calligraphie et son appartenance à un groupe puissant. D’autres signes s’insèrent dans le texte comme les marques de ponctuation, mais aussi des traits sans fonction syntaxique et des lettres allongées. En plus de structurer le texte, ces marques, notamment les bouts de ligne et la ponctuation spéciale en fin d’acte, le protègent en limitant les espaces où de l’information pourrait être ajoutée ou modifiée. La ponctuation sans fonction syntaxique (nommée topème) permet le repérage facile des données clés qu’elle précède. Enfin, la mise en forme complète le portrait de l’acte. La taille des caractères, les marges, les réglures, la répartition de l’information sur le recto et le verso ainsi que les plis et le support encadrent et rendent visible à la fois les signes et le texte. Les signes servent à authentifier le document, à le structurer, à le protéger et aussi à impressionner son lecteur/observateur. Leur étude, combinée à un regard sur les plis et les notes dorsales, amène à questionner le maniement des actes et leur utilisation une fois l’accord couché sur papier.

description: We show that the use of red colour as the basis for selecting candidate high redshift dusty galaxies from surveys made with Herschel has proved highly successful. The highest redshift such object, HFLS3, lies at z=6.34 and numerous other sources have been found. Spectroscopic followup confirms that most of these lie at z>4. These sources are found in such numbers that they represent a challenge to current models of galaxy evolution. We also examine the prospects for finding dusty galaxies at still higher redshifts. These would not appear in the SPIRE surveys from Herschel but would be detected in longer wavelength, submm, surveys. Several such `SPIRE-dropouts' have been found and are now subject to followup observations.

description: Hildegard Frübis: Site(s): Gender-Image-Politics: An Introduction Issue No. 44 takes the form of a workshop report to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of FKW. The editors each contribute brief snapshots to provide an illuminating insight into the journal’s future. The FKW editorial team has changed almost entirely since 2004, and accordingly many ambitious ideas exist for current issues. This circumstance was a further reason for conceiving the present jubilee issue as a series of spotlights, in which the current editors each present their perspectives on a wide range of subjects, including art, the image, gender, the cultural and political status of the visual, and so on. The brief contributions should be regarded as a kind of laboratory situation, in which the members of the editorial board discuss their research interests and establish how these relate to feminist issues and also to the current debates on cultural policy.

Quantifying Artifacts over Time: Interval Estimation of a Poisson Distribution using the Jeffreys Prior
Creators: name: Collins-Elliott, Stephen A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This article presents a new method for estimating the amount of an artifact class in use at a given moment in the past from a random assemblage of archaeological finds. This method is based on the use of simulation, since an analytical solution is computationally impractical. Estimating the number of artifacts in use at any time $t$ is shown to follow a Poisson distribution, which allows for credible intervals to be established using the Jeffreys prior. This estimator works from minimal assumptions about the dating and duration of finds, as well as the intensity of collection, and is applied to coinage from four Roman-period sites excavated by the Roman Peasant Project (2009-2014). The result provides for an estimation of the abundance of material according to an interval of certainty.
Government public relations in the nation-building of Georgia
Creators: name: Mateshvili, Maia

Year: 2008

description: On May 10, 2005, President Mikheil Saakashvili delivered a public speech to commemorate President George W. Bush's historic visit to the country of Georgia. President Bush's visit was an indication of the U.S.'s support of pro-Western, democratic nation-building processes initiated by Saakashvili's administration following the Rose Revolution in 2003. Within the framework of this thesis, textual analysis of President Saakashvili's welcoming address is conducted to uncover the embedded ideology and to identify the frames developed in the speech. Subsequently, local and international print media coverage is examined through qualitative content analysis to determine how news media covered the speech. The goal of this study is to suggest how the Georgian government can facilitate the country's democratization by using government public relations as a strategic planning tool, and by integrating public relations approaches into the communication component of the nation-building.

description: We consider the problem of fitting a relationship (e.g. a potential scientific law) to data involving multiple variables. Ordinary (least squares) regression is not suitable for this because the estimated relationship will differ according to which variable is chosen as being dependent, and the dependent variable is unrealistically assumed to be the only variable which has any measurement error (noise). We present a very general method for estimating a linear functional relationship between multiple noisy variables, which are treated impartially, i.e. no distinction between dependent and independent variables. The data are not assumed to follow any distribution, but all variables are treated as being equally reliable. Our approach extends the geometric mean functional relationship to multiple dimensions. This is especially useful with variables measured in different units, as it is naturally scale-invariant, whereas orthogonal regression is not. This is because our approach is not based on minimizing distances, but on the symmetric concept of correlation. The estimated coefficients are easily obtained from the covariances or correlations, and correspond to geometric means of associated least squares coefficients. The ease of calculation will hopefully allow widespread application of impartial fitting to estimate relationships in a neutral way.

Figuration des Sozialen im Blick feministischer Kunstwissenschaft: Christian Petzolds Gespenster (2005)

description: Edith Futscher: Feminist Art History Facing Figurations of Social Life: Christian Petzold’s Gespenster (Ghosts) (2005) Feminist art and film history are watchful of formations of social life and their transformation and production in and through the field of the visual. Friendship and girlhood, it is argued, are currently two dominant elements of discourse with disciplinary effects, which tend to veil unstable social structures and an unequal gender-based apportionment of power. Both are pointed out in a critical way in Christian Petzold’s narrative about fleeting relationships between mother and daughter and lesbian lovers in Berlin in the year 2005. Combined with this is a reflection on the imaginative as well as normative effects of male viewers, video monitoring, and digital-generated phantom portraits. Petzold’s strategies are considered as an effort to critically explore a girl’s mode of feigning death, playing dead, and loss of identity.
