description: We present the discovery of an unusual, tidally-distorted extremely low mass white dwarf (WD) with nearly solar metallicity. Radial velocity measurements confirm that this is a compact binary with an orbital period of 2.6975 hrs and a velocity semi-amplitude of K = 108.7 km/s. Analysis of the hydrogen Balmer lines yields an effective temperature of Teff = 8380 K and a surface gravity of log g = 6.21 that in turn indicate a mass of M = 0.16 Msol and a cooling age of 4.2 Gyr. In addition, a detailed analysis of the observed metal lines yields abundances of log Mg/H = -3.90, log Ca/H = -5.80, log Ti/H = -6.10, log Cr/H = -5.60, and log Fe/H = -4.50, similar to the sun. We see no evidence of a debris disk from which these metals would be accreted though the possibility cannot entirely be ruled out. Other potential mechanisms to explain the presence of heavy elements are discussed. Finally, we expect this system to ultimately undergo unstable mass transfer and merge to form a ~0.3-0.6 Msol WD in a few Gyr.

Kill Me, Save Me, Let Me Go: Custance, Virginia, Emelye
Creators: name: Steel, Karl
Publisher: name: punctum books

description: The  inevitability  of  bad Fama worries  a  few  of  Chaucer’s heroines.  Cresseid  and  Dido  prefer  that  their  shame  not  be spread  about,  while  the  Wife  of  Bath  prefers  to  seize  the means of narrative production.1 Each worries about what will be   said   about   her;   each   justifies   her   actions; but   none recognizes  that,  as  a  literary  character,  she  could  not  have done other than she did. This  is  where  Custance,  Virginia,  and  Emelye  differ.  It  is the difference between saying, “I wish you wouldn't talk about me  this  way”  and  saying,  instead,  “why  are  you  doing  this  to me?”  or,  more  precisely,  “Why  are  you  making  me  do  this?” For   each   one   knows,   if   only   for   a   moment,   that   the responsibility  for  what  happens  to  her  and  through  her  lies elsewhere.   Each   experiences   the   precise   opposite   of   self-awareness,    for    each    momentarily    struggles    against    the narrative  before  realizing  herself  to  be not a  self  but  rather someone  else's  creature,  destined  to  be  rewarded  or  to  suffer regardless   of   what   she   does,   destined   to   be   made   to   be satisfied   with   what   happens,   destined   to   be   exemplary whether she wants to or not, because she comes to know that her   wants   are   not   her   own.   At   once   constituted   and dispossessed by her tale, each implicitly repeats one of Žižek’s favorite  maxims,  Deleuze’s  “si  vous  êtes  pris  dans  le rêve  de l’autre,  vous  êtes  foutu”2  [“if  you're  caught  in  the dream  of another, you're fucked”]. One seeks death; another wants to be something  other  than  a  creature  of  her  father;  and  the  last tries to  exempt  herself  from  the  tale’s  political  reconciliation. None  gets  what  she  wants:  one  forced  to  live,  one  to  die,  one to  love,  each  gets  just  enough  awareness  of  being  in  their stories to know that they want out. Then the door slams shut.

description: We report the discovery of pulsations in the spectroscopic PG 1159 type pre-white dwarf SDSS J075415.12+085232.18. Analysis of the spectrum by Werner, Rauch and Kepler (2014) indicated Teff=120 000+/-10 000 K, log g=7.0+/-0.3, mass M=0.52+/-0.02 Msun, C/He=0.33 by number. We obtained time-series images with the SOAR 4.1 m telescope and 2.1 m Otto Struve telescope at McDonald Observatory and show the star is also a variable PG 1159 type star, with dominant period of 525 s.

The Physician's Tale as Hagioclasm
Creators: name: Treharne, Elaine
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2012

description: Adroit scholarly interpretation of the Physician’s Taleover the last half century has sought to rehabilitate what is perceived as one   of   Chaucer’s   least   satisfactory   tales.   Arguments   have focused   on   the   correlation   of   teller   and   tale;   Chaucer’s manipulation of his sources; and the foregrounding of various key  aspects  of  the  tale,  such  as  governance,  virginity  or  the legal  system.  In  seeking  to  round  off  the Tale,  to  give  it cohesion  and  moral  purpose,  for  example,  Kirk  L.  Smith concludes   his   discussion   about   the   judicial   and   medical elements  with  the  opinion  that “The  tale  offers  this  moral cure:  abjuring  the  exploitation  in  which  self-absorbed  Apius indulges,  the  worthy  practitioner  would  earn  the  public’s esteem   by   pledging   disinterested   service.”   Similarly,   in Jerome Mandel’s view, the careful structure of the Tale and its emphasis on death can be paralleled with The Pardoner’s Tale, with  which  it  is  paired  in  Fragment  VI.  Crafton’s  recent judicious  appraisal  focuses  on  shared  concerns  between  the Parson’s   Tale   and   the Physician’s   created   by   the   use   of preaching motifs, the Summa virtutem remediis animeand the theme  of  “false  virginity.”  Other  critics  have  highlighted  the use of hagiographic topoi in the Tale. In Lee Patterson’s clever and  insightful Chaucer  and  the  Subject  of  History,  he  judges the Tale  as aspiring to “hagiographical authority,”  as  a “quasi hagiography”  in  which  the  heroine,  Virginia,  is  a  “helpless victim,”   subordinated   to   her   persecutors’   narrative   domi-nance.  “In  short,”  states  Patterson,  the Physician’s  Tale  “is  a fraudulent  or  ‘counterfeit’  hagiography  .  .  . unable  to  trans-cend its own fallen historicity.

description: Ficus species evolved physical and chemical defense mechanisms to cope with variable environmental conditions. Field observation of Ficus johannis Boiss. (Mountain Fig) indicated that newly-sprouted leaves developed at the base of the plant are skin irritating, but the crown leaves, out of animal reach, do not. Here, we investigated the anatomical and phytochemical characteristics of both leaves of F. johannis growing in the arid mountains of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The results showed the presence of numerous tapering non-glandular and a few glandular trichomes on the newly-sprouted leaves. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis showed the presence of 107 metabolites; out of them, 16 compounds were identified in the newly-sprouted leaves but not in the crown ones. β-Amyrin, α- amyrin, and β-amyrin acetate, known as irritant chemicals, were~5, 3, and 200 times higher in the newly-sprouted leaves than in the crown leaves, respectively. Our study is the first to report the presence of stinging trichomes in Ficus species, a rare type that has been reported in a few angiosperm families. These results indicated that the variety of trichomes on the newly-sprouted leaves and the leaf’s unique metabolites provide sufficient protection mechanisms against grazing animals.

description: It has been around fifty years since R. K. Sachs and A. M. Wolfe predicted the existence of anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and ten years since the integrated Sachs Wolfe effect (ISW) was first detected observationally. The ISW effect provides us with a unique probe of the accelerating expansion of the Universe. The cross-correlation between the large-scale structure and CMB has been the most promising way to extract the ISW effect from the data. In this article, we review the physics of the ISW effect and summarize recent observational results and interpretations.

title: Kreativagenturen - Pioniere einer wertebasierten Werbung
Creators: name: Röcken, Johanna Viktoria
Year: 2023

description: In der Werbung der letzten Jahre zeigt sich ein Wandel ihrer Kommunikation. Nicht zuletzt durch die Covid-19 Pandemie wird in der Gesellschaft ein verändertes Wertebewusstsein sichtbar, welches sich in der Werbung widerzuspiegeln scheint. Immer häufiger scheinen Werbekampagnen gesellschaftspolitische Themen aufzugreifen und somit ein Bewusstsein für diese Themen schaffen zu wollen. Kreativagenturen wie DOJO, CarlNann oder The Good Wins fokussieren sich auf eine verantwortungsbewusste Kommunikation. Im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit an der Universität Wien werden die Auswirkungen des gesellschaftlichen Wertewandels auf die internen Strukturen von Kreativagenturen, sowie die Auswirkungen auf deren KundInnen und ihre Werbekommunikation untersucht. Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen werden sechs ExpertInneninterviews zum Wertewandel in Kreativagenturen geführt und anschließend qualitativ ausgewertet. Zielsetzung der Arbeit ist es anhand der qualitativen Methoden festzustellen, ob sich ein interner Strukturwandel in Kreativagenturen zeigen lässt und inwiefern dieser in ihrer Zusammenarbeit mit den KundInnen sichtbar wird.
description: Advertising in recent years has seen a change in the way it communicates. Not least as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, a changed awareness of values is becoming visible in society, which seems to be reflected in advertising. More and more often, advertising campaigns seem to pick up on socio-political issues and thus want to create awareness for these topics. Creative agencies like DOJO, CarlNann or The Good Wins focus on responsible communication. In the context of this master thesis at the University of Vienna, the effects of the change in social values on the internal structures of creative agencies, as well as the effects on their clients and their advertising communication are investigated. To answer the research questions, six expert interviews on the change of values in creative agencies are conducted and then qualitatively analyzed. The objective of the study is to use qualitative methods to determine whether an internal structural change in creative agencies is evident and to what extent this is visible in their collaboration with clients.
title: Gutachten über den Geisteszustand: gerichtspsychiatrische Gutachten über homosexuelle Personen in der NS-Zeit und davor
Creators: name: Bauer, Magdalena
Year: 2023

description: Diese Arbeit widmet sich der juristischen und medizinisch-psychiatrischen Verfolgung homosexueller Personen im Nationalsozialismus und in den Jahren zuvor. Dazu wurde einerseits auf den medizinisch-psychiatrischen Diskurs über die Homosexualität ab dem 19. Jahrhundert eingegangen. Andererseits wurden 43 psychiatrische Gerichtsgutachten analysiert, die zwischen den Jahren 1938 und 1945 im Auftrag der Wiener Landesgerichte I und II und des Wiener Sondergerichts im Rahmen eines Verfahrens wegen § 129Ib StGb erstellt wurden. In weiterer Folge konnten zwölf vorhandene Gutachten aus den Jahren 1934–1937 damit verglichen werden. Auch wenn sich der Hauptteil dieser Arbeit auf männlich gelesene Personen bezieht, wurde in einem eigenen Kapitel auf psychiatrische Gutachten zu weiblich gelesenen Personen eingegangen. Dieser Umstand ist der geringen Anzahl vorhandener Gutachten zu diesen geschuldet. Besonderes Augenmerk in der Auswertung lag zum einen auf der Frage, wie die Gutachter über Homosexualität im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Pathologisierung, ‚Selbstbeherrschung‘ und Zurechnungsfähigkeit schrieben. Zum anderen wurden die Gründe, die sie für gleichgeschlechtliche Sexualhandlungen nannten, untersucht. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass Pathologisierungen, wie etwa die Zuschreibung von ‚Psychopathie‘, ‚Degeneration‘ oder einer ‚erblichen Belastung‘ häufig in Verbindung mit homosexuellen Trieben oder Homosexualität gebracht wurden. Als Ursache für ihre gleichgeschlechtliche Sexualhandlung attestierte man den Angeklagten vor allem eine homosexuelle Anlage, daneben rangierten umweltbedingte Faktoren. In den meisten Fällen gingen die Gutachter von einer ‚verringerten Selbstbeherrschungsfähigkeit‘ oder ‚Willenskraft‘ der begutachteten Person aus, in seltenen Fällen wurde deren Zurechnungsunfähigkeit angeführt.
The Light Has Lifted: Trickster Pandare

Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2012

description: Pandare’s role in Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde has been one of  much  debate  among  Chaucerian  scholars  and  critics:  Is  he friend or is he foe, and what is his purpose either way? He is at once friend, foe, and I would argue, the character with whom readers  most  identify.  Readers  of Troilus  and Criseyde  realize that  they  read  to  discover  characters  exactly  like Pandare; characters  whom  he  or  she  wishes  they  could  be,  and  ones whose motives   are   sprinkled   with   hints   of   darkness   and mischief.   Pandare   represents   the   private   thoughts   in   our minds, the kind we know we cannot, and will not, act upon in the   way Pandare   has,   but   which   we   desire   to   pursue vicariously. Pandare is a charismatic trickster figure.The trickster figure is a mythical character found in almost every culture throughout history and is included by Carl Jung among  his  archetypes. The  trickster  and  its  tendencies  exist in  all  of  us;  the  degree  to  which  they  surface depends  on  the individual. Usually  a  male, tricksters can  be  identified  by many    common    traits    such    as    stubbornness,    chicanery, duplicity,  and the  ability  to  evoke  laughter. Classic  trickster characters  range  from  Prometheus,  known  as  one  of  the  first tricksters,   to Uncle   Remus’s Brer   Rabbit. The   trickster typically  preys  on  weaker  characters  and  remains  confident until  the  end.  The  story  surrounding  the  trickster  and  its result   or   lesson   is   often   used   to   satirize the   darkest conventions  of  the  culture  in  which  the  story  takes  place. Their  mischievous,  self-serving  actions  can  often  have  the trickster backtracking and succumbing to fate or fortune, and through their blunder knowledge can be gained.

Year: 2022

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema Mediatisierung des Klimawandels, wobei die Wirkungen der mediatisierten Inhalte über den Klimawandel auf das nachhaltige Verhalten der RezipientInnen untersucht werden. Mittels einer quantitativen Studie wurde die Mediennutzung über den Klimawandel von insgesamt 150 Befragten, unterschiedlicher Generationen und deren nachhaltiges Verhalten untersucht. Dadurch konnte festgestellt werden, inwieweit sich die klimaspezifische Mediennutzung verschiedener Generationen unterscheidet und welche Generation nachhaltiger handelt. Diese Ergebnisse sollten dazu führen, die Generationen zu identifizieren bei denen die medialen Inhalte über den Klimawandel einen positiven Einfluss auf das nachhaltige Verhalten haben und somit einen Beitrag bei der Bewältigung der Klimakrise leisten. Weiters geben die Ergebnisse der durchgeführten Studie Auskunft darüber, welche medial vermittelten Inhalte über den Klimawandel weniger effektiv auf das nachhaltige Verhalten der RezipientInnen wirken. Die Ergebnisse können dazu führen die Kommunikation zum Thema Klimawandel und Klimakrise zu verbessern und damit einen positiven Schritt in der Bewältigung der Klimakrise schaffen.
description: The topic of this master's thesis is the mediatization of the climate change, whereby the influence of media content about climate change was investigated in relationship with the sustainable behavior of the recipients. A quantitative study of 150 respondents of different generations and sustainable behaviors was performed in order to examine the media use regarding climate change and the sustainable behavior. The analysis made it possible to determine how the climate-specific media use differs among generations and which one acts more sustainably. The results lead to identifying the generation on which the media content about climate change positively influences the sustainable behavior and thus make a contribution in overcoming the climate crisis. Moreover, the results provide information about which climate change related media content is less effective and does not positively influence the sustainable behavior of the recipients. Furthermore, there is a lead to improving communication on the topic of climate change and the climate crisis, as well as to creating a positive impact in overcoming the climate crisis.

description: This project deliverable describes what is needed in order to design behavioural interventions that encourage people to use more sustainable modes of mobility more often. Such measure are certainly needed, especially in the face of climate change, but reducing car traffic, emissions and noise can also make cities more liveable places. With the wide use and possibilities offered especially by mobile devices, there have been considerable efforts already in the mobility field to change behaviours with digital interventions. However, the efforts are often not as effective as they could be, because many of the interventions in the mobility field operate without any theoretical model of behaviour change. In this deliverable, written by Salzburg Research, we discuss why and how interventions should be firmly rooted in appropriate theories, and for the mobility field, we suggest using an already existing model of behaviour change, the COM-B model developed by Susan Michie and colleagues. The model will serve as a theoretical behaviour change model for the DyMoN project, for designing the set of (digital) behaviour change interventions (“nudging repository”) for encouraging use of sustainable mobility modes, and for informing city representatives on how they can motivate more sustainable mobility within their cities.

The temperature dependence of molar volume, heat capacity, isothermal compressibility and thermal expansion coefficient at constant pressure for different number of bonding sites on particle were evaluated. The model showed water-like anomalies for all evaluated quantities, but thermodynamic perturbation theory does not properly predict the dependence of these properties at a fixed number of bonding points.

Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Wissen, das in Zusammenhang mit Entwicklungspolitik und -zusammenarbeit über Frauen der Mehrheitswelt transportiert wird. Dabei wendet sie sich dem österreichischen Kontext zu. Als Untersuchungsmaterial identifiziert sie die Weltnachrichten, die von der Austrian Development Agency veröffentlicht werden. Auf dieses Untersuchungsmaterial blickt sie durch eine diskurstheoretische Brille, die bei Michel Foucault ansetzt. Daran anschließend nimmt sie den Entwicklungsdiskurs in den Blick. Dafür zieht sie den Ansatz des Post-Development und Arbeiten von Aram Ziai heran. In Folge eröffnet sie diskurstheoretische Perspektiven auf Geschlecht, wobei die Aufmerksamkeit auf Judith Butlers fällt. Sodann befragt sie den Post-Development Ansatz und Arbeiten von Ziai nach der diskursiven Konstruktion der Frauen der Mehrheitswelt. Diese Befragung führt sie zu Chandra Talpade Mohanty. Als Methode wendet die vorliegende Arbeit die kritische Diskursanalyse an. Auf Basis der Analyse stellt sie fest, dass das in den Weltnachrichten transportierte Wissen vom Entwicklungsdiskurs geprägt ist. Frauen der Mehrheitswelt werden hier als Gruppe definiert, die von Männern der Mehrheitswelt zu unterscheiden ist, die eine hohe innere Uniformität aufweist und die bis zu einem gewissen Grad auch von westlichen Frauen abgegrenzt werden kann. Eine weitere Charakterisierung erfolgt über zentrale Aussagen der untersuchten Beiträge. Aussagen, die Probleme der Frauen der Mehrheitswelt adressieren, zeichnen sie als benachteiligte und unterdrückte Gruppe. Aussagen, die Lösungsvorschläge unterbreiten, portraitieren die Frauen der Mehrheitswelt als defizitäre Gruppe. Aussagen über die Tätigkeiten der Frauen der Mehrheitswelt präsentieren sie schließlich als förderwürdig. Zusammengefasst erscheinen Frauen der Mehrheitswelt als die Triebfedern der Entwicklung, die es zu aktivieren gilt.

description: One of the largest problems in using the Internet is the excess of information and the lack of personalization. These are particularly acute problems in tourism planning and booking. The Web 2.0, or social web, has the capability to solve these difficulties by filtering the information trough a network of trustful connections managed by the user. In this work we will present a Web 2.0 portal for tourism, developed upon this personalization concept where the user is the centrepiece. Information is filtered through a social network of recommendations. The recommendation system implemented at sairmais.com is explained.

description: Excerpts from the Foreword: Although fish farming is a relatively new endeavor in the West, it has been a sophisticated practice for almost 3,000 years in China. On a worldwide basis, the domestication of fish and shellfish is rapidly becoming an important method of food production. China, the world's largest aquaculture producer, depends on aquaculture for about 25 percent of its fish supply, while the worldwide average is 10 percent. Defined properly, aquaculture goes far beyond fish farming. It is the controlled cultivation of animals and plants, including finfish, crustaceans, mollusks, and seaweeds. In the United States it consists primarily of production of fish for human consumption; but it also includes bait, ornamental fish, and stock for commercial and sport fisheries. Consumer demand for aquaculture products and seafood is growing. Congress recognized the potential of U.S. aquaculture when it passed the National Aquaculture Act of 1980. This bibliography was prepared in support of U.S. Department of Agriculture efforts to implement the National Aquaculture Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-362) and the Agriculture and Food Act of 1981 (P.L. 97-98). The bibliographic citations are grouped under twelve topics -- Section 1: General Aquaculture -- Section 2: Biology and Behavior -- Section 3: Breeding and Genetics -- Section 4: Diseases, Parasites, Pests -- Section 5: Ecology and Environment -- Section 6: Feeding and Nutrition -- Section 7: Production and Management Systems -- Section 8: Harvesting and Handling -- Section 9: Processing and Product Development -- Section 10: Product Quality, Nutritive Value and Consumption -- Section 11: Marketing and Economics -- Section 12: Taxonomy and Introduction of New Species

Divine Darkness

description: Nearly  everyone  can  relate,  I  suspect,  to  the  feeling  of  being “scared  of  the  dark.”  It  is  no  doubt  for  this  reason  that  dark-ness  saturates  the  horror  genre,  from  the  earliest  examples  of gothic  novels  and  graveyard  poetry,  to  the  most  recent  films, comics,  and  video  games.  We  do  not  know  what  it  is  that dwells  in  the  darkness,  only  that  our  not-knowing  is  a  source of fear.  Darkness  seems  to  steadily  creep  forth,  submerging everything in an anonymous, pitch blackness. Our fear of the dark seems as ambiguous as darkness itself. This ambiguity is at  once  horrific,  and  yet,  because  of  its  ambiguity,  it  also  ob-tains  the  quality  of  the  mystical.  Georges  Bataille,  writing about religious art, highlights this ambiguity: “What I sudden-ly saw, and what imprisoned me in anguish—but which at the same  time  delivered  me  from  it—was  the  identity  of  these perfect  contraries,  divine  ecstasy  and  its  opposite,  extreme horror.” The  concept  of  darkness  evokes  this  combination  of  religion and horror; it is the shift from the horror of something inthe dark, to the horror of darkness itself. Put simply, the concept of darkness invites us to think about this basic metaphys-ical dilemma of a nothing that is a something . . .

description: Forsythiae Fructus (FF, Lianqiao in Chinese) is the dried fruit of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl. As one of the commonly used bulk medicinal materials, FF has been used as a heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of infectious diseases. Epicarp spots are inherent traits of the FF. Previous reports have suggested that it might be related to the quality of FF, while the accurate correlation between them remains ambiguous. In this study, 32 groups of FF were selected from the same batch, and the information of epicarp spots was converted into spot area index (SAI). Then, the overall quality of FF was evaluated by principal component analysis (PCA) based on the content of 21 major bioactive ingredients. Subsequently, the Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between SAI and the overall quality of FF. Ingredients related to SAI were identified. The results indicated that a significant negative correlation was shown between the SAI and the overall quality of FF. Six bioactive ingredients, including forsythoside B, p-coumaric acid, galuteolin, hesperidin, baicalin and kaempferol, were negatively correlated with SAI. This research will provide scientific information on the relationship between epicarp spots and the overall quality of FF and facilitate the general quality assessment of FF in a rapid and convenient way.

description: Thermodynamic perturbation theory for central-force (TPT-CF) type of associating potential is used to study the phase behavior of symmetric binary mixture of associating particles with spherically symmetric interaction. The model is represented by the binary Yukawa hard-sphere mixture with additional spherically symmetric square-well associative interaction located inside the hard-core region and valid only between dissimilar species. To account for the change of the system packing fraction due to association we propose an extended version of the TPT-CF approach. In addition to the already known four types of the phase diagram for binary mixtures we were able to identify the fifth type, which is characterized by the absence of intersection of the $λ$-line with the liquid-vapour binodals and by the appearance of the closed- loop liquid-liquid immiscibility with upper and lower critical solution temperatures.

description: By means of a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation, we show how the local observed relation between age and galactic stellar mass is affected by assuming a DM power spectrum with a small-scale cutoff. We compare results obtained by means of both a Lambda-cold dark matter (LambdaCDM) and a Lambda-warm dark matter (LambdaWDM) power spectrum - suppressed with respect to the LambdaCDM at scales below ~ 1 Mpc. We show that, within a LWDM cosmology with a thermal relic particle mass of 0.75 keV, both the mass-weighted and the luminosity-weighted age-mass relations are steeper than those obtained within a LambdaCDM universe, in better agreement with the observed relations. Moreover, both the observed differential and cumulative age distributions are better reproduced within a LambdaWDM cosmology. In such a scenario, star formation appears globally delayed with respect to the LambdaCDM, in particular in low-mass galaxies. The difficulty of obtaining a full agreement between model results and observations is to be ascribed to our present poor understanding of baryonic physics.

description: Perante o desenvolvimento das tecnologias da informação e comunicação e das exigências crescentes do consumidor é necessário encontrar formas de disponibilizar informação pertinente, concisa, actualizada e atraente ao visitante. As comunicações móveis 3G podem ser um importante meio para disponibilização de informação e outros serviços, tornando-se de grande utilidade no sector do turismo. Este artigo pretende analisar as comunicações móveis 3G como um meio de acesso a informação/serviços turísticos, bem como conhecer as necessidades de informação turística dos visitantes, tendo por base um inquérito por questionário efectuado a uma amostra significativa de Portugueses residentes em Portugal, com endereço electrónico. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que quase todos os indivíduos desejam ter um telemóvel 3G que possibilite o acesso a informação /serviços turísticos, sendo que, a informação que mais gostariam de ver disponível no telemóvel 3G foi a relacionada com a localização geográfica, itinerários recomendados e informações sobre o trânsito. Estes resultados são também de grande utilidade para as empresas produtoras de serviços móveis, pois desta forma puderam conhecer o consumidor e oferecer informação/serviços pertinentes e adequados ao perfil do visitante.

description: As aplicações no turismo das tecnologias de informação e comunicação apresentam uma têndencia de uso de mídias digitais, como as redes sociais (sistemas de comunicação mediados pela internet) e as mídias locativas (sistemas de comunicação digital baseados em localização geográfica). Este artigo tem como objetivos identificar as aplicações das mídias digitais na comunicação do turismo, classificar e caracterizar as redes sociais e as mídias locativas, bem como analisar e exemplificar as aplicações destas mídias no turismo. De acordo com suas funções e recursos, as redes sociais foram classificadas em tipos (redes de relacionamento; redes de partilha; redes de publicação e redes de microblogging), do mesmo modo que as mídias locativas (realidade aumentada; mapeamento e monitoramento; geotags e anotação urbana). A análise de aplicação destas mídias digitais no turismo identificou suas possibilidades em três características da comunicação do turismo: divulgação, gestão empresarial e produção de serviços. As mídias digitais se apresentam para o turismo como uma espécie de “info-estrutura”, em que as redes sociais caracterizam-se fundamentalmente pela permissão que pessoas comuns sejam produtores e distribuidores ativos da informação turística e a mídias locativas pela mobilidade do consumo e produção da informação turística.

description: In Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke, after the Joker has been ap-prehended for doing all sorts of awful things to Barbara Gor-don, he tells Batman the following joke: See,  there were  these  two  guys  in  a  lunatic  asylum  .  .  . and one night, one night they decide they don’t like liv-ing  in  an  asylum  any  more.  They  decide  they’re  going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town,  stretching  away  in  the  moonlight  .  .  .  stretching away  to  freedom.  Now,  the  first  guy,  he  jumps  right across  with  no  problem.  But  his  friend,  his  friend didn’t dare make the leap. Y’see . . . Y’see, he’s afraid of falling.  So  then,  the  first  guy  has  an  idea .  .  .  He  says ‘Hey!  I  have  my  flashlight  with  me!  I’ll  shine  it  across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam  and  join  me!’  B-but  the  second  guy  just shakes his  head.  He  suh-says  .  .  .  He  says ‘Wh-what  do  you think  I  am?  Crazy?  You’d  turn  it  off  when  I  was  half way across! I will try and bring this kind of lunacy to Speculative Real-ism and develop a parallel kind of path to Jeffrey’s    paper. I will do  this  through weird  fiction.  In  addition  to  his  massive  col-lection  of  works  the  weird  author  Clark  Ashton  Smith  wrote several synopses of tales he never produced. There are at least two of these tales which are of a lunar nature and which I will read in full.

description: We calculate scalar static polarizabilities for lanthanides and actinides, the atoms with open $4f$ or $5f$ subshell. We show that polarizabilities of the low states are approximately the same for all states of given configuration and present a way of calculating them reducing valence space to just two or three valence electrons occupying $6s$ and $5d$ states for lanthanides or $7s$ and $6d$ states for actinides while $4f$ and $5f$ states are considered to be in the core. Configuration interaction technique is used to calculate polarizabilities of lanthanides and actinides for all states of the $4f^n6s^2$ and $4f^{n-1}6s^25d$ configurations of lanthanides and all states of the $5f^{n}7s^2$ and $5f^{n-1}7s^26d$ configurations of actinides. Polarizability of the electron core (including f-orbitals) has been calculated in the RPA approximation.

Aristotle with a Twist

Publisher: name: punctum books

description: In several publications, I have made the case for objects as the central  theme  of  philosophy.1  It  might  seem  paradoxical  that Heidegger is cited as a key inspiration for this proposal, since “object” is almost never a positive term in Heidegger’s philos-ophy, where it refers to the one-sided objectification of things, reduced  to  presence-at-hand  for  consciousness  or  manipula-ble stockpiles of material for the enframing work of technolo-gy.  In  the  later  Heidegger  we  find  the  word  “thing,”  a  more positive  term  for  the  individual  entity  as  it  mirrors  the  four-fold  play  of  earth,  sky,  gods,  and  mortals.2  Additional  alter-nate  terms  might  be  considered:  Bruno  Latour  prefers  to speak  of  “actors”  or  “actants.”3  Ian  Bogost  employs  the  term “units,”4   with   a   Latin   etymology   whose   Greek   equivalent “monads” in Leibniz is another candidate term.5 There is also the  more  traditional  word  “substance,”  which  I  have  some-times used myself, less for shock value than to show the classi-cal  roots  of  the  theme  of  object-oriented  philosophy.  Though all terminology is somewhat arbitrary, it should not be chosen carelessly. While it is tempting to coin neologisms in order to avoid  being  confused  for  someone  else,  it  is  often  possible  to retain  traditional  terms  while  cleanly  removing  their  now  ir-relevant connotations. The reason I prefer the term “object” is simply because of its roots in the tradition of phenomenology. Husserl tells us openly in the Logical Investigations that expe-rience is made of “object-giving acts,” and Heidegger’s “thing” is  an  attempt  to  modify  and  amplify  the  famous  Husserlian battle  cry  “to  the  things  themselves.”6  When speaking of “ob-jects”  in  what  follows  I  refer notonlyto  objects  as  something objectified in consciousness (though these certainly exist, and must  be  accounted  for),   but  also  to  objects  as  described  in Heidegger’s tool-analysis, incommensurable with any form of presence before the mind.
