Images of Freud
Creators: name: Sørensen, Bent
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2015

description: Not many cultural critics or other academic figures become so well known in the general public that one can argue that their physical image (whether based on photographs, films, portraits and caricatures) has become iconic, along with a wide-spread dissemination of their intellectual ideas. This however is undoubtedly the case with the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), whose image is still immediately recognizable to a majority of the population of at least Europe and North America. Freud’s ideas (albeit in popularized form) also travel with ease in current public discourses, ranging from cartoons, jokes and other forms of comedy to serious essays, fictions and films; a phenomenon which reflects the extent to which ‘Freudian’ ideas are incorporated in the dominant Western middle-class culture of the early 21st century.

description: We study non-spinning Q-balls and boson stars in 4-dimensional Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space-time. We use an exponential scalar field potential that appears in gauge-mediated supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). We investigate the dependence of the charge and mass of these non-topological solitons on the negative cosmological constant, the frequency that appears in the periodic time-dependence as well as on the ratio between the SUSY breaking scale and the Planck mass. Next to fundamental solutions without nodes in the scalar field function we also construct radially excited solutions. In the second part of the paper we put the emphasis on the holographic interpretation of these solutions in terms of Bose-Einstein condensates of scalar glueballs that are described by a strongly coupled Quantum Field Theory (QFT) on the boundary of global AdS.

description: This paper discusses the iconicity of the microphone both as a physical object but also as a transducer and shaper of a distinctive mediatized sound. Different facets of iconicity are examined in order to tease out the multiple meanings and usages of this ubiquitous artifact. In addition to the physical object, whether hidden or highlighted, used as a prop or as a crutch, common microphone usage since the early days of radio have resulted in an iconic mediatized sound, which has realigned the way we experience the spoken word and the musical voice.

description: Unconventional reservoirs are the next challenge for maintaining the world’s oil production. Several EOR processes are under study, one promising is the “In Situ Upgrading” which produces EOR and Upgrading by injection of a hot fluid, in this case vacuum residue from the heavy oil produced, with suspended nano-catalytic particles flowing down-hole along with dissolved hydrogen as precursor of partial Hydroprocessing of the residue. The combination of thermal and chemical reactions with a catalyst leads to In-Situ Upgrading (ISU) of the residue injected and the in situ oil near the surroundings of the injection well bore, while the heat carried, the diluents, the steam and hot water generated warm up the rock and the oil in the porous media, enhancing extraction. Testing the reactivity of the oil has to be assessed at temperatures, pressures and time to determine the suitability of this EOR process.
Bullet-Time
Creators: name: Christiansen, Steen
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2015

description: The Matrix’s use of bullet time, the extreme slowing down of the cinematic image, instantly became iconic for action cinema and has almost become as recognizable as Hitchcock’s famous dolly zoom in Vertigo. Circulated so much as to almost render the effect meaningless, this paper proposes the question of what purpose, in a time of incessant acceleration, could the slowing down of time mean and why has it become so iconic? This paper argues that bullet time in action films is, paradoxically, an intensification of speed, a different but related way of making movement felt. Although difficult to delimit, speed and its felt sensations are central concerns for contemporary culture. These intensifications of moments are ways not only to express narrative momentum but also to provide distinct pay-offs, durations of pure sensation and astonishment. Time is tamed in bullet time. Rather than the transcendent desire of slow cinema, we find a kinesthetic desire in cultural acceleration, a desire which is attenuated in contemporary action films and their use of bullet time.

The death and life of the Little Mountain Housing Project : BC's first public housing community
Creators: name: Thomson, Thomas Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Opened in 1954, Vancouver’s Little Mountain Housing Project was the first public housing project in BC and among the oldest in Canada. For more than half a century, Little Mountain provided subsidized rental housing for low and moderate income families and seniors. Throughout its years, Little Mountain was at the forefront of housing policy in BC. Little Mountain’s initial development in the 1950s spelled out how the federal-provincial public housing partnership would operate in BC. In the 1970s Little Mountain was the first public housing project in Canada managed by a committee of tenants. And today Little Mountain continues to be on the leading edge of provincial housing policy as it is the first public housing project to be privatized and redeveloped under a new province-wide policy announced in 2007. Redevelopment and privatization have involved the displacement of 194 Little Mountain households and the demolition of all but one of the buildings at Little Mountain. The displacement of the tenants and the near total clearance of the large site are among some of the disturbing similarities between the redevelopment of Little Mountain and the old urban renewal programs of the mid-twentieth century. But unlike urban renewal, the redevelopment of Little Mountain is connected to neoliberal restructuring and the erosion of the welfare state. When Little Mountain is eventually rebuilt, it will feature a mixed-income community that will combine social housing tenants and market homeowners. Redevelopment has been justified, in part, on the basis that social mixing will create more social capital for the low-income families at Little Mountain. But this thesis shows that Little Mountain was already remarkably rich in social capital. In contrast to the stereotype of the ‘troubled housing project’, Little Mountain offered a very supportive, happy, and beautiful living environment. Ironically, displacement has isolated many of the tenants. Through an analysis of the distribution of benefits and losses of redevelopment to various relevant groups, this thesis shows that the Little Mountain tenants are being squeezed out of the benefits of redevelopment while bearing significant losses.
Half a Century of Kinetic Solar Wind Models

description: I outline the development of four generations of kinetic models, starting with Chamberlain's solar breeze exospheric model. It is shown why this first kinetic model did not give apposite supersonic evaporation velocities, like early hydrodynamic models of the solar wind. When a self-consistent polarization electric potential distribution is used in the coronal plasma, instead of the Pannekoek-Rosseland's one, supersonic bulk velocities are readily obtained in the second generation of kinetic models. It is outlined how the third and fourth generations of these models have improved the agreement with observations of slow and fast speed solar wind streams.

An Animated Adoration

description: Consumers of manga (comics), anime (cartoons), and video games increasingly search for alternative ways to forge a connection with their favorite characters. In Japan, many of the actual places used in such media as models for background scenery have within recent years become popular as tourist destinations.

In an effort to connect with the characters from the action-adventure game Sengoku Basara, female gamers began to gather at a shrine dedicated to Japan’s war dead. At the shrine they choose to express their adoration for the game characters by drawing comic illustrations on votive prayer tablets. Based on a field survey of the votive prayer tablets found on display at the shrine, I argue that through the production of folk art, that is religious icons, fans engage with the game characters in a personal and spiritual manner, while simultaneously creating bonds with other fans.

The Icon of the Zombie Mob
Creators: name: Christensen, Jørgen Riber
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2015

description: The research question of the article is: In the film World War Z (Marc Forster, 2013) not only the iconology of the zombie has changed, also its iconography is new. How does this double alteration of the zombie influence its iconic significance? A hypothetical answer to this question is based on an investigation of the locations of the film, including the climactic battle scene with zombies in Moscow Red Square, which was dropped from the final cut. This answer is contextualized in a description of the relatively short cultural history of the zombie with its most recent manifestation in this film. The article sees this zombie manifestation as a mob, a new kind of magnification monster that has entered the global body politic. This is in a more specific sense than the prevalent understanding of the zombie as an icon of fear of globalisation; but it is also a continuation of the cultural critique of mass society as expressed in for instance George Romero’s zombie film trilogy. If the zombie has become the mob, then a reciprocal question remains. Why has the mob been depicted as zombies in World War Z? Here a historical contextualisation can provide an answer, and the article connects the historical role of crowds and mobs in the world of politics, including the so-called “Year of the crowd”, 1989 to contemporary media iconography of mobs in especially Middle Eastern politics. Finally, the article connects the double nature of a cultural icon as both popular and a hegemonic tool to the historically dualistic conception of mobs.

description: This paper presents the design of a multi-spacecraft system for the deflection of asteroids. Each spacecraft is equipped with a fibre laser and a solar concentrator. The laser induces the sublimation of a portion of the surface of the asteroid. The jet of gas and debris thrusts the asteroid off its natural course. The main idea is to have a swarm of spacecraft flying in the proximity of the asteroid with all the spacecraft beaming to the same location to achieve the required deflection thrust. The paper presents the design of the formation orbits and the multi-objective optimization of the swarm in order to minimize the total mass in space and maximize the deflection of the asteroid. The paper demonstrates how significant deflections can be obtained with relatively small sized, easy-to-control spacecraft.

description: This article looks at representations of early sexual experience in Neil Jordan’s The Miracle (1991). It contrasts the fantasies and the realities of the parallel sex lives of the film’s teenage protagonists, which are central to the narrative and set within a travelling circus. Both the circus ring and the Catholic Church feature in Jordan’s film as locations in which sexual desires are expressed, and this article considers the associated functions of the actors and icons proper to these spaces as we see them on screen. It thereby forges new critical connections between The Miracle and prose, poetry, and plays written by W.B. Yeats and J.M. Synge. The article also makes extensive use of an original and as yet unpublished interview conducted with Neil Jordan in June 2014.

Continuous theta burst stimulation combined with skilled motor practice after stroke : effects on implicit learning and electroneurophysiology
Creators: name: Linsdell, Meghan Ashley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: After stroke, cortical excitability is decreased in the ipsilesional primary motor cortex and increased in the contralesional primary motor cortex. This abnormal pattern of excitability detrimentally affects performance with the hemiparetic arm. Short lasting improvements in motor performance occur following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the contralesional hemisphere after stroke; however, no work has considered the impact of pairing rTMS with skilled motor practice over multiple days on motor learning, hemiparetic arm function, or electroneurophysiology in the brain. The aim of this thesis was to determine the impact of 3 days of continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) over contralesional primary motor cortex paired with skilled motor practice on 1) learning of a novel motor task and hemiparetic arm motor function and 2) levels of intracortical inhibition, intracortical facilitation, and transcallosal inhibition following stroke. In a cross-over design, participants with chronic stroke were randomized to first receive either active or sham cTBS over the contralesional primary motor cortex. Functional measures, motor task performance, and electroneurophysiology were assessed at baseline. 3 days of cTBS paired with skilled motor practice were completed; functional measures, motor learning, and electroneurophysiology were re-evaluated at posttesting. After a 2-week washout period participants underwent the second half of the study with the other form of cTBS. Participants showed larger motor learning related change following active cTBS than sham cTBS. The magnitude of this improvement correlated with enhanced performance on standardized measures of arm function after stroke. Active cTBS also decreased levels of facilitation in the contralesional hemisphere and decreased the amount of inhibition being sent from the contralesional hemisphere to the ipsilesional hemisphere. No adverse effects were reported. Results of this thesis suggest that cTBS over the contralesional motor cortex iii paired with skilled motor practice facilitates both improved hemiparetic arm function and motor learning beyond that seen with skilled motor practice alone. The results of this thesis contribute to research relevant to rehabilitation of individuals with stroke and may facilitate the development of new rehabilitation strategies to improve functional recovery after stroke.

Remarks. This species has often been mixed or synonymized with Chrysis zetterstedti, and records in older literature can be difficult or impossible to assign to either species. Because C. equestris is the more common of the two species in the Nordic and Baltic countries, the old literature references which could refer to either species are listed here under C. equestris. In Sweden, C. equestris is relatively widespread, and the northernmost records are from as far north as Överkalix in Norrbotten province. In Finland it is very rare and classified as regionally extinct in the national red list (Paukkunen 2010). However, it was rediscovered in 2011 after an absence of 50 years, in the southeast part of the country. In Norway, C. equestris has been confused with C. zetterstedti, and it has not been previously reported from that country and is considered data deficient there (Hansen et al. 2010, as C. fasciata).

description: We examined the effect of Scrabble expertise on brain ageing using brain signal variability as measured with multiscale entropy (MSE) and brain signal mean as measured with event-related potentials (ERP). We collected ERP data while age-matched Scrabble experts and controls (age range: 24 to 83) performed an expertise-related task (lexical decision task; LDT) and a non-expertise-related task (symbol decision task; SDT). During both tasks, fine-scale MSE increased with age for both groups, suggesting that short-range neural communication increases with age. Midscale MSE increased with age for experts but decreased for controls, suggesting that longer-range neural communication is maintained through older age for experts but not for controls. In addition, experts did not show the typical age-related decrease in frontal P300 amplitude. However, all age-related effects, regardless of direction, were associated with worse performance in both groups. This study provides a better understanding of how expertise affects brain ageing.

description: OBJECTIVE: To analyse the transcriptional profiles of the pir multigene family of Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi in male and female gametocytes isolated from the blood of infected mice. RESULTS: Infected red blood cells containing female and male P. chabaudi gametocytes transcribe a distinct set of genes encoded by the multigene family pir. The overall patterns are similar to what has been observed in the close relative P. berghei, but here we show that gametocyte-associated pir genes are distinct from those involved in chronic blood-stage infection and highlight a male-associated pir gene which should be the focus of future studies.

description: Coherent photoproduction of $η$-mesons off $^3$He, i.e. the reaction $γ^3{He}\rightarrow η^3{He}$, has been investigated in the near-threshold region. The experiment was performed at the Glasgow tagged photon facility of the Mainz MAMI accelerator with the combined Crystal Ball - TAPS detector. Angular distributions and the total cross section were measured using the $η\rightarrow γγ$ and $η\rightarrow 3π^0\rightarrow 6γ$ decay channels. The observed extremely sharp rise of the cross section at threshold and the behavior of the angular distributions are evidence for a strong $η{^3{He}}$ final state interaction, pointing to the existence of a resonant state. The search for further evidence of this state in the excitation function of $π^0$-proton back-to-back emission in the $γ^3{He}\rightarrow π^0 pX$ reaction revealed a very complicated structure of the background and could not support previous conclusions.

description: November 1918 did not bring peace to Germany. Although the First World War was over, Germany began a new and violent chapter as an outbreak of civil war threatened to tear the country apart. The birth of the Weimar Republic, Germany’s first democratic government, did not begin smoothly as republican institutions failed to re-establish centralized political and military authority in the wake of the collapse of the imperial regime. Coupled with painful aftershocks from defeat in the Great War, the immediate postwar era had only one consistent force shaping and guiding political and cultural life: violence. This dissertation is primarily an examination of the development of a broad atmosphere of violence created by the deliberate efforts of the Freikorps movement to influence political and cultural activity in Germany in the immediate aftermath of World War I. Principally, it explores the activities of Freikorps units and their allies to use tactics and methods to threaten and intimidate their enemies and the civilian populace, and engage in what Hans von Seeckt called a broader “spiritual battle” for the fate of Germany. It traces the development, proliferation and termination of a violent network of civilian and militant organizations that served as a mouthpiece for a dissident and disaffected segment of German society after the war. It is a history of civil-military relations in an era when the boundaries between the two had become blurred and all but disappeared. It highlights a moment when citizens sought to settle their disputes, not just through democratic elections and political compromises, but also with rifles, pistols and murder.
Hollywood Icons

description: This article is an analysis of how Hollywood stars are represented in three central celebrity genres – the fashion magazine interview, the endorsement advertisement and the appearance of the red carpet live broadcast. In contrast to recent research in celebrity culture this is an investigation of how specific media texts articulate key concepts central to an understanding of contemporary celebrity culture such as the star as both ordinary and extraordinary, the star as resource and the notion of intimacy at a distance. Thus the article offers a useful framework for analysis of traditional celebrity genres and how Hollywood icons - in this context exemplified by Benedict Cumberbatch and Lupita Nyong’o - are represented.

description: High-energy X-rays and gamma-rays from solar flares were discovered just over fifty years ago. Since that time, the standard for the interpretation of spatially integrated flare X-ray spectra at energies above several tens of keV has been the collisional thick-target model. After the launch of the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) in early 2002, X-ray spectra and images have been of sufficient quality to allow a greater focus on the energetic electrons responsible for the X-ray emission, including their origin and their interactions with the flare plasma and magnetic field. The result has been new insights into the flaring process, as well as more quantitative models for both electron acceleration and propagation, and for the flare environment with which the electrons interact. In this article we review our current understanding of electron acceleration, energy loss, and propagation in flares. Implications of these new results for the collisional thick-target model, for general flare models, and for future flare studies are discussed.
description: This is an article from a monograph on the physics of solar flares, inspired by RHESSI observations. The individual articles are to appear in Space Science Reviews (2011)

He’s Still Here

description: On 11 February 2009, Joaquin Phoenix announced that he would be retiring from acting to pursue his ambition of becoming a hip hop musician. One year later, ‘documentary’ feature film, I’m Still Here was theatrically released; chronicling the life of Phoenix that followed the announcement of his retirement. A week into its release in the US, director Casey Affleck confessed to The New York Times (Cieply 2010) that the film was in fact a mockumentary. I’m Still Here is Affleck’s (and Phoenix’s) statement film, inviting the audience to reflect on their own contribution to celebrity culture. The film draws attention to both the star and the fan and their joint contribution in developing the myth of the Hollywood star. However, primarily, it shows Phoenix’s transition from star to celebrity, as argued in this paper. This case is framed by the scholarly study of stars, iconology and celebrity, and argues that the series of media events created by Phoenix and Affleck provide a commentary on the contemporary notion of Hollywood stardom.

description: To explore how context influences the subjective beauty of painted artworks, I presented average-beauty target paintings in the context of either low-beauty or high-beauty context paintings. Experiment 1 also factorially varied whether target and context paintings were of similar or different styles, were presented sequentially or simultaneously, and whether 2 or 10 paintings were rated. Target paintings were consistently deemed more beautiful when presented with low-beauty (vs. high-beauty) context paintings. This contrast effect was not modulated by the other three factors. In Experiments 2a-c, context beauty again yielded contrast effects, even though a variety of methods were used to try to elicit assimilation effects. Experiment 3a-b examined whether the “contrast everywhere” pattern might be due to participants not perceiving target and context paintings as similar. Consistent with that possibility, similarity ratings for context-target pairs were generally low, even though they were higher for similar (vs. different) style targets, and for simultaneous (vs. sequential) presentation. My results provided some support, and some challenges, for a selective accessibility model and a range-frequency model. Critically, both models will need to better specify how similarity is assessed. To better elucidate how context influences stimulus evaluation, I discuss the need to collect independent measures of similarity perception in future research.
The heterotic string at high temperature (or with strong supersymmetry breaking)

description: Perturbative heterotic string theory develops a single complex tachyonic mode beyond the Hagedorn temperature. We calculate the quartic effective potential for this tachyonic mode at the critical temperature. Equivalently, we determine the quartic effective potential for strong supersymmetric breaking via anti-perdiodic boundary conditions for fermions on a small circle. We give many details of the heterotic tachyon scattering amplitudes, including a unitarity check to fix all normalization constants. We discuss difficulties in obtaining an effective action valid at all radii. We argue that in certain variables, the quartic term in the potential is radius independent. Speculations on the properties of a new strongly curved phase that could occur after tachyon condensation are offered.

All that jazz

description: When Baker was offered an opportunity to move to, Paris, for her dance talents, she did not hesitate to take the chance. Baker arrived in Paris the summer of 1925, during the height of France’s obsession with American jazz music and all things exotic. Immediately after her famous performance on October 2, 1925, Baker appeared in a jazz club wearing an ice-blue dress, cut on the bias. It had been selected for her from a Paris design house. This glamorous side of Baker quickly dispelled the notion of her as primitive. Her body type and cinnamon skin proved to be the perfect model for the masters of fashion. Baker quickly became a woman who others wanted to copy.

Josephine Baker, who symbolized the beauty and vitality of African American culture during this time, took Paris by storm personifying many of the modern ideals associated with jazz music. Through private dealings with the masters of various modes whom she attracted, as well as with the pervasive public persona she created, Baker influenced architecture, urban and interior design, fashion, sculpture, graphic arts, painting and photography. This influence establishes her as one of the most famous symbols of the jazz age, the first African American superstar and a universal icon.

description: Compost teas are preparations produced by steeping a wide range of composts into water and brewed with or without adjuvants for microbial nutrition and/or plant health reasons. This study was performed with the intent of evaluating the compost teas produced from three different composts, namely: rice straw, cotton stalk or bagasse composts, after dry fractionation based on the particle sizes associated within each compost type. Twelve aerated compost teas, with compost to water ratio of 1:10 (w:v), were prepared using four fractions of each compost. The prepared teas were analyzed for their agro-biological and agro-chemical parameters. The results indicated that prepared compost teas properties were depended on the compost type as well as their fractions. The finest fractions, produced compost teas, recorded lower values of pH, electrical conductivity, and total soluble nitrogen than that of raw compost. On the other hand, soluble carbon, E4/E6 ratio, microbial activities, indolic compounds and germination index revealed higher values in the fine fractions than teas prepared from raw composts. More research is recommended on the dry fractionation based on the size of particle and their characteristics for produce compost teas with various specifications
