Full textAbstract:
In September 1974 Barbara Castle published her proposals for a new earnings-related State pension scheme in her White Paper “Better Pensions”. This followed a succession of attempts by previous Secretaries of State for Social Services to change State pension arrangements radically. Unlike the ill-fated Crossman and Joseph schemes, however, the Castle scheme succeeded both in reaching the statute book and in coming into operation. A Bill was introduced in February 1975 and on 7 August 1975 the Social Security Pensions Act 1975 received the Royal Assent. The State earnings-related pension scheme (SERPS) came into operation on 6 April 1978. It provided State pensions related to earnings, but also offered to employers with good occupational pension schemes the possibility of ‘contracting-out’ and providing equivalent or better earnings-related benefits through their own scheme.

Salomon-Delatour (1925–1932)." Sociological Journal 28, no. 4 (December 28, 2022): 139–50. http://dx.doi.org/10.19181/socjour.2022.28.4.9319.
Full textAbstract:
The published correspondence reveals the professional ties of the RussianAmerican sociologist P.A. Sorokin (1889–1968) and the German publisher and sociologist Salomon (1892–1964, Salomon-Delatour since 1947). It substantially complements the knowledge about Sorokin’s priorities in professional contacts and scientific interests. In addition to the most complete version of Sorokin’s article “Russian Sociology in the Twentieth Century” (1926), published in the Yearbook of Sociology released by Salomon, the accompanying correspondence introduces Sorokin’s plans to participate in the preparation of the German editions of the books Leaves from a Russian Diary (1924), The Sociology of Revolution (1925), Social Mobility (1925), Modern Sociological Theories (1928, the German edition came out in 1932), Principles of Rural and Urban Sociology (1929) and Readers on Rural Sociology (1930–1932). Sorokin’s plans and articles on the study of genius and leadership, the role of the intelligentsia in society, and issues of book review are discussed. The letters are a testament to Sorokin’s sociology starting to receive actual international recognition. The correspondence tells of the impact of the Great Depression (1929–1939) on sociologists’ contacts.

Full textAbstract:
In September 1942, the pioneering ethologist Nikolaas (Niko) Tinbergen (1907–1988), together with other intellectuals who had protested against the expulsion of Jewish academics from Leiden University, The Netherlands, by the invading Nazi forces, was incarcerated in Beekvliet hostage camp in North Brabant. In his weekly letters home Tinbergen wrote Klieuw, the serialized story of a herring gull ( Larus argentatus), based on his previous field work, for his three children. Another inmate in the camp, Louis (L. J. C.) Boucher, a publisher, encouraged Tinbergen to publish the story as a book. Tinbergen and his fellow prisoners were released in September 1944 and with academic life returning to normal, Tinbergen went on a three-month lecture tour to the United States in 1946. It was there that the book, translated into English, was first published in 1947 under the title Kleew. The Dutch edition titled appeared a year later and was more successful than the English version, with many adults and children reading and memorizing the book’s contents. Because of Tinbergen’s extraordinary clarity of expression, Klieuw was considered one of the best Dutch children’s books of its time.

Full textAbstract:
The authors explore Heinz Kohut's ideas of self, including its nuclear and virtual forms, in the critical period from the late 1960s to about 1975. Kohut's creative process, it is argued, has not been fully appreciated. The authors establish the baseline of Kohut's ideas about the self in his first book, The Analysis of the Self in 1971. His ideas then evolved significantly in the next few years, as he came to define the self as the center of psychological experience and then to consider what he came to call the nuclear self and the virtual self as extensions of his core ideas about the self-selfobject system. The authors trace the specific sequence of conceptual steps that Kohut took in his reexamination of what he meant by self. Kohut's thinking in this area proceeded unevenly and not always chronologically. His pathbreaking work in the early 1970s on fragmentation, on the cohesion and continuity of the self, and on the mutable nature of the nuclear self and the virtual self represents a seminal development in the understanding of these psychoanalytic concepts.

Full textAbstract:
The personal archive of Adam Tarn (1902–1975), the first editor-in-chief of the Dialog monthly and a translator, critic, novelist, and playwright, includes notes with loose ideas for plays, notes to his unfinished book on Chekhov, and minor literary attempts, which he corrected, set aside and later expanded. This material, which Tarn’s heirs kindly offered me for study, constitutes a valuable proof the creative process and the evolution of the writing of the Dialog’s editor-in-chief. In the context of Obraz ojca w czterech ramach [Father’s Image in Four Frames] (1934), Tarn’s début novel and the only one he completed, the novel Kameleon [Chameleon] is an intriguing item in the author’s collection of unfinished works. In this article I shall discuss the material contained in Tarn’s personal archive. This study offers an insight into his “internal laboratory” of writing and enables one to read it from, e.g., the biographical perspective. The dating of the collected material can be only approximated. The earliest surviving prose attempt written in French probably came from the interwar period, while the final notes were composed during his émigré period after 1968, when Tarn was working on his unfinished book on Chekhov.

Introduction: Dragon Boating is a paddle-driven water sport that originated in China over 2000 years ago. Dragon Boat racing was a part of Chinese traditional culture .Dragon Boat racing has become a popular folk sport across the world. Methods: 29 Female and 36 male paddlers of the Indian National Dragon Boat team who participated in the 16th IDBF World Dragon Boat Racing Championship 2023 at Pattaya, Thailand were measured for their physical characteristics and body composition before their participation at a national training camp at Kolkata, India. Heath-Carter method(1967) was followed for Somatotyping. Durnin and Womersley (1974) equation was used to calculate body composition and Siri (1956) equation was followed for calculation of Fat %. Results: Average age, height, weight , Fat % and Somatotype of male Dragon Boat paddlers were 26.6(±6.9), 170.1(±5.2), 68.1(±9.1),16.9 %, and 3.4(±1.4)-5.0(±0.9)-2.1(±1.0) respectively whereas those of Female Dragon Boat paddlers were 21.9(±4.5) , 162.0(±6.5), 58.9(±12.8), 29.7(±4.9), and 5.6(±1.5)-3.5(±1.2)-2.4(±1.4) respectively. Conclusion: Indian National Female Dragon Boat Racing paddlers were Endomorphic with low muscularity in average whereas the Male National Dragon Boat Racing paddlers were Mesomorphic with more adiposity in average.

First I would like to thank Deborah Jowitt and CORD for inviting me to participate in this panel. I have known Marcia for many years and I am delighted to be here today to honor her. This also gives me a chance to speak about the Institutes for Dance Criticism (sometimes unofficially called the critics' conferences) started by Selma Jeanne Cohen in 1971 at Connecticut College and then expanded to the West Coast for several years in the mid-1970s. I met Marcia at the 1974 West Coast institute, which she was directing at Mills College. The next year I attended the East Coast branch at Connecticut College, which Deborah [Jowitt] directed and where Marcia served on the faculty.In their early years the institutes were of tremendous importance to dance criticism. Nothing like them had ever been attempted. They came at the beginning of the dance boom, when publications were suddenly expected to cover what, for many editors and writers, was a little-known art form. The institutes were sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts specifically to train dance critics. A number of people passed through the institutes who went on to important careers in criticism and academe, including Sally Banes, Janice Ross, and Mindy Aloff.

Full textAbstract:
Webegan the war, not the Germans and even less the Entente— that I know.” So begins a recently discovered and published account of the events of July 1914,Der Kriegsbeginn, written in December 1918 by Baron Leopold von Andrian–Werburg, the respected and influential Austro-Hungarian Consul-General in Warsaw (1911–1914). He was in Vienna after the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand on 28 June 1914, and belonged to that small circle of diplomats privy to the discussions in the Ballhausplatz that followed that event. Andrian-Werburg's ringing confession of Austro-Hungarian responsibility for the outbreak of World War I is much more direct than one that first came to light more than a decade ago: that of Count Alexander Hoyos, Foreign Minister Count Leopold Berchtold's chef-de-cabinet. Andrian-Werburg's avowal of Austro-Hungarian responsibility is paradoxical in the context of the controversy over German policy in July 1914 sparked by the publication of Fritz Fischer's 1964 book on Germany's war aims. As Fritz Fellner pointed out in an essay on Hoyos's mission to Berlin to garner benützt werden, urn die Rechnung zu prasentieren. Entgegenkornmen so lange wie möglich, aber zurückschlagen beirn nächsten Schlag. Dieser nächste Schiag ist jetzt da—alle Welt sieht, weiche Gesinnungen in Serbien die Führung an sich gerissen haben. Nicht urn Rache handelt es sich, sondern urn Sicherung für die Zukunft. Rache mag das, für das Gefühl der einfachsten Menschen in unserern Volke verständlichste Motiv sein, für viele andere wird es heissen, dass Serbien uns sein böses Trachten jetzt enthüllt hat—die Politik aber hat Bürgschaft oder Unterwerfung zu fordern.

Full textAbstract:
This essay, based on the author’s talk presenting a recent book, Brokers of Deceit: How the U.S. Has Undermined Peace in the Middle East, examines the dynamics of U.S. policy formation on Palestine, mainly through the lens of three “clarifying moments” in the history of U.S. involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The first of these moments concerns efforts to revive and modify the Palestinian autonomy provisions of the 1978 Camp David Accords as an element of the 1982 Reagan Plan. The second examines Israeli-U.S. connivance during 1991–93 Madrid/Washington Palestinian-Israeli negotiations as revealed in confidential documents, and the third focuses on President Barack Obama’s retreat during the second half of his first term from positions staked out earlier. More generally, the essay looks at the underpinnings and continuity of U.S. policy and how it has evolved.

Esta Dissertação de Mestrado tem como objeto de investigação o Programa do Livro Didático para o Ensino Fundamental do Instituto Nacional do Livro (PLIDEF/INL), que funcionou por meio de um sistema de coedição de livros didáticos entre os setores público e privado entre os anos de 1971 e 1976. O dados foram coletados em fontes de diferente natureza, tais como Diários Oficiais da União, Diários do Congresso Nacional, Anuários do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, documentos do Ministério da Educação e Cultura, do Instituto Nacional do Livro e da Fundação de Apoio ao Estudante, e, ainda, reportagens dos jornais Folha de São Paulo, Jornal do Brasil, Diário de Notícias, Diário do Paraná, Correio da Manhã, A Luta Democrática, O Estado de Mato Grosso, Movimento e Fato Novo, assim como das revistas Veja e Realidade, e também em livros didáticos desse período. A partir do conceito de campo do sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu buscou-se responder as seguintes questões: Quais foram as condições históricas e sociais que permitiram a existência do campo do PLIDEF/INL? Quais foram as paradas em jogo que mobilizavam os agentes e as instituições envolvidos no campo? No decorrer do trabalho foi possível perceber que o campo do PLIDEF/INL se constituiu através das interações com o campo do poder político, literário e escolar. No que diz respeito à produção dos livros didáticos, foram coeditados novecentos e vinte e sete títulos entre os componentes curriculares de Linguagem, Matemática, Estudos Sociais, Ciências Naturais e Educação Moral e Cívica. Havia no PLIDEF/INL a predominância do componente de Linguagem, com aproximadamente 44% do total do número de títulos. Em relação à parceria público-privada, identificou-se a presença de trinta e seis editoras no programa, contudo, apenas nove (IBEP, Editora do Brasil, Abril Cultural, Companhia Editora Nacional, FTD, Tabajara, Bloch, e Vigília) representam mais de 70% do número de títulos coeditados. Ao que se refere às paradas em jogo observou-se a mobilização em torno de temáticas como o formato do programa, o preço e o modelo do livro didático adotado, a participação das Secretarias Estaduais de Educação e dos professores nas escolhas dos títulos coeditados e a distribuição dos exemplares nas unidades federadas. Os resultados da pesquisa também indicam que apesar do “problema livro didático” suscitar intenso debate no período, a presença deste artefato na escola brasileira era percebida como inquestionável.
This Master’s thesis aims to investigate the Textbook Program for Elementary Education of the National Book Institute (PLIDEF-INL), which worked through a coedition system of textbooks between the public and private sectors from 1971 to 1976. The data were collected in different sources, such as Government’s Official newsletters, National Congress newsletters, annals of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, documents issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture, the National Book Institute and the Student Support Foundation, besides articles published in newspapers (Folha de São Paulo, Jornal do Brasil, Diário de Notícias, Diário do Paraná, Correio da Manhã, A Luta Democrática, O Estado de Mato Grosso and Movimento and Fato Novo) and in magazines (Veja and Realidade) and in textbooks of this period. Based on French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of field, this study sought to answer the following questions: Which were the historical and social conditions that enabled the field of the PLIDEF/INL to exist? Which were the contest at stake that mobilized agents and institutions involved in the field? The development of this study showed that the constitution of the field of the PLIDEF/INL was based on its interaction with the field of political power, literary and school. Regarding the production of didactic books, 927 books were published in the following syllabus components: Languages, Mathematics, Social Studies, Natural Sciences, Moral and Civic Education. The Languages syllabus predominated in PLIDEF/INL, because it represented approximately 44% of all published books. Concerning the partnership between the public and private sectors, it was identified the presence of thirty-six publishing houses in the program. However, only 9 out of 36 companies (IBEP, Editora do Brasil, Abril Cultural, Companhia Editora Nacional, FTD, Tabajara, Bloch and Vigília) represented around 70% of the published books. Regarding the contest at stake, there was mobilization towards some themes, such as the format of the program, the price and the model of the textbooks, besides the participation of the State Education Department and the teachers in the choice of published books and their distribution in Brazilian states. The research results also indicate that, despite the fact that the “problem of the didactic book” led to intense debate in that period, its presence in the Brazilian schools was considered unquestionable.

Masahide, Shibusawa. The Private Diplomacy of Shibusawa Eiichi. GB Folkestone: Amsterdam University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9781898823810.
Full textAbstract:
“This book offers an account of the life of Shibusawa Eiichi, who may be considered the first ‘internationalist’ in modern Japan, written by his great grandson Masahide and published in 1970 under the title, Taiheiyo ni kakeru hashi (Building Bridges Over the Pacific). Japan had a tortuous relationship with internationalism between 1840, when Shibusawa was born, and 1931, the year the nation invaded Manchuria and when he passed away. The key to understanding Shibusawa’s thoughts against the background of this history, the author shows, lies in the concept of ‘people’s diplomacy,’ namely an approach to international relations through non-governmental connections. Such connections entail more transnational than international relations. In that sense, Shibusawa was more a transnationalist than an internationalist thinker. Internationalism presupposes the prior existence of sovereign states among which they cooperate to establish a peaceful order. The best examples are the League of Nations and the United Nations. Transnationalism, in contrast, goes beyond the framework of sovereign nations and promotes connections among individuals and non-governmental organizations. It could be called “globalism” in the sense that transnationalism aims at building bridges across the globe apart from independent nation-states. In that sense Shibusawa was a pioneering globalist. It was only in the 1990s that expressions like globalism and globalization came to be widely used. This was more than sixty years after Shibusawa Eiichi’s death, which suggests how pioneering his thoughts were.” [Akira Iriye]

Full textAbstract:
Ernest Gowers wrote the first, pamphlet version of Plain Words in 1948. It had been commissioned by the Treasury, and was designed to encourage clarity and kindness in the writing of over-formal, patronizing civil servants. Despite this focus, it became an immediate bestseller when offered as a book for general sale. In 1954, Gowers combined subsequent iterations of the title to produce a final version, The Complete Plain Words; and though he came to wish he could revise this work too, he got entangled instead in creating his 1965 edition of Fowler, after which he promptly died. The Complete Plain Words, revised by others in 1973 and 1986, has never yet gone out of print. But the later revisions look increasingly unsympathetic, so in 2014 Rebecca Gowers, the author’s great-granddaughter, agreed to update the book working directly from the 1954 edition. This proved to be easier said than done.

Full textAbstract:
The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision required desegregation of America’s schools, but it also set in motion an agonizing multidecade debate over race, class, and IQ. In this innovative book, Michael E. Staub investigates neuropsychological studies published between Brown and the controversial 1994 book The Bell Curve. In doing so, he illuminates how we came to view race and intelligence today. In tracing how research and experiments around such concepts as learned helplessness, deferred gratification, hyperactivity, and emotional intelligence migrated into popular culture and government policy, Staub reveals long-standing and widespread dissatisfaction—not least among middle-class whites—with the metric of IQ. He also documents the devastating consequences—above all for disadvantaged children of color—as efforts to undo discrimination and create enriched learning environments were recurrently repudiated and defunded. By connecting psychology, race, and public policy in a single narrative, Staub charts the paradoxes that have emerged and that continue to structure investigations of racism even into the era of contemporary neuroscientific research.

Full textAbstract:
Britain’s Levantine Empire, 1914-1923 explains the rise and decline and nature and extent of British military rule in the urban eastern Mediterranean during the course of the First World War and its aftermath. Combining novel case studies and theoretical approaches, the book reveals the extent of military control that Britain established and anticipated maintaining in the post-Ottoman world, before a series of confrontations with nationalist and socialist anti-imperialists forced a new division of the eastern Mediterranean, still visible in the political borders of the present day. It tells this story through the eyes and ears of the British servicemen who built this empire, analysing the testimony of over 100 such military personal sent to Alexandria, Thessaloniki, Istanbul and the towns and islands between them, as they voyaged, made camp, and explored and patrolled the city streets. Whereas histories examining soldiers’ experiences in the First World War have almost exclusively focused on their lives at the frontlines, this book provides a much needed in depth history of soldiers’ experience and impact on the urban hubs of the Eastern Mediterranean, where urban planning, nightlife and entertainment, policing and security were transformed by the presence of so many men at arms and the imperialist interventions that accompanied them.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This book asks three questions. How have American national elections changed in the last seventy years? Why have they changed as they did? What are the consequences of these changes for democracy in America? Chapter 1 shows that elections up through 1984 differed dramatically from those after 1984. Landslide presidential elections were once common, but over the last forty years they have converged to become increasingly closely contended elections. Congressional elections become ever more incumbent centered before 1984 and decreasingly so afterward. These changes reflect the changing nature of fundamental forces that shape the public’s electoral opinions and voting behavior. From a single such fundamental, partisan identification, 70 years ago, the electorate now rests on five such fundamentals: partisanship, ideology, issues, racial attitudes, and economic evaluations. Since 1984 each has grown increasingly important in orienting the voter to elections, and they have become more closely aligned, such that the public, by 2020, was aligned in one of two camps based on all five fundamentals. Also since 1984, not only have these two become not just separate camps that disagree over the substance and increasingly the emotions associated with electoral politics; the division is best understood as a broad and deep cleavage. The result is that the number of crosscutting interests that made majorities hard to maintain have been replaced by a cleavage that threatens to undermine the stability of democratic institutions in the United States.

Stevens, Rachel. Citizen-Driven Humanitarianism and the Bangladesh Liberation War. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350384743.
Full textAbstract:
This open access book presents an international history of humanitarianism during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. Examining the motivations, actions and competing interests of multiple humanitarian actors such as the Red Cross, Oxfam, grassroots NGOs and individuals, it analyses the impact of humanitarianism for refugees in the camps. With western governments indifferent or slow to respond to India’s pleas to assistance, Stevens shows how international aid to Bangladeshi refugees during the 1971 crisis was citizen-driven. Focusing on the actions of individuals and NGOs in Australia, Stevens shows how they rallied community support, fundraised at record levels and effectively lobbied the Australian government to increase aid and recognise Bangladesh’s independence. Using archival materials from Australia, the UK, Switzerland and the US, Citizen-driven Humanitarianism and the Bangladeshi Liberation War provides an account of how civil society was galvanized, even radicalized, in their pursuit to remedy systemic problems such as ethnic persecution, militarism and poverty. Documenting the myriad forces at play during the refugee crisis of 1971, it shows how broader social and cultural developments coalesced to create the citizen-driven humanitarianism of the late 20th century.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on one of photography’s birthplaces, Paris and the Cliché of History tells the story of how photographs came to be imagined and deployed as documents of the past. It uncovers the changing conventions that drove the formation of public photo archives, the inclusion of photos on the pages of illustrated books, their place in historical exhibitions and public festivals, and the organization of amateur photo contests to document Paris. It explores how contemporaries looked at photos, new and old, through the lenses of war, occupation, urban renovation, and other traumas. From this point of view, Paris and the Cliché of History offers new versions of familiar stories about Haussmannization, the professionalization of history, the cultural effects of World War I, and the 1944 Liberation of Paris as well as the first in-depth accounts of the 1951 celebration of Paris’s birthday (the Bimillénaire de Paris) and the 100,000 photographs submitted to an ambitious effort to document the city for the future: the amateur photo contest “This was Paris in 1970.” It calls for historians to pull the curtain on using photographs as transparent windows onto the past and proposes a historical methodology that registers photographic production, circulation, and preservation as part and parcel of history itself. Ultimately the book presents a compelling argument for the importance of this history of photographs to the story of Paris since 1860 and to arguments about its reduction to a museum city, or merely an image, since the 1960s.

Full textAbstract:
The Fear of Invasion presents a new interpretation of British preparation for war before 1914. It argues that protecting the British Isles from invasion was the foundation upon which all other plans for the defence of the Empire were built up and that defensive concerns played a crucial role in shaping British preparations for war before 1914. The requirements of home defence were a crucial factor in the distribution of military strength across the Empire, and determined the relative priorities of the Army and Navy—both of which played an important role in preventing an invasion. As politicians were reluctant to prepare for precipitant British military action against other Great Powers, home defence became the means by which the government contributed to an ill-defined British ‘grand’ strategy by dictating the relative roles and responsibilities of the two services. The Royal Navy formed the backbone of British defensive preparations, yet after 1905 the Admiralty came to view the threat of a German invasion of the British Isles as far more credible than is commonly realized. As the Army became more closely associated with operations in Europe, the Navy thus devoted an ever-greater amount of time and effort to safeguarding the vulnerable British coast with ‘very insidious’ consequences: the role of the Fleet became overly defensive and reactive. This book explains how and why this came to pass, presenting a new perspective on British strategy in 1914 and questioning the role of government in making strategy more broadly.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBritain’s response to the ‘boat people’ crisis, as Becky Taylor shows in this chapter, had at its heart a contradiction. On the one hand, Margaret Thatcher’s government was keen to be seen as an ally of the US in the Cold War, and still a leader on the international stage. On the other, the arrival of 19,000 Vietnamese ‘boat people’ after 1979 came at a time of growing anti-immigration rhetoric, Britain’s deepest recession for fifty years and just as Thatcher’s New Right government’s marketisation and anti-statist policies were being enacted. This chapter explores how the tension between these different elements shaped Britain’s reception of the ‘boat people’, in particular pointing to the central place of voluntary organisations and multiculturalism in the resettlement programme.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractUsing the prisms of post-colonial history together with the theoretical concepts of policy instruments and uploading and downloading, this chapter investigates how different actors in different arenas of the Danish-Greenlandic education system have emerged, interacted, and struggled to shape and develop policies and practices. The chapter focuses on a particular policy instrument called ‘the Preparation Scheme’ [præparandarrangementet] which was launched in 1961 and remained in operation until 1976. The purpose of the scheme was to identify promising Greenlandic children and send them on a one-year school stay in Denmark to boost their Danish language skills and prepare them as spearheads for the modernization of Greenland according to a Danish development trajectory. Analytically, the chapter explores the historical compositions of actors inhabiting the arenas in Copenhagen, Nuuk and the Greenlandic school districts in 1961 when the policy instrument was launched, and it investigates the emergence of policy–practice nexuses revolving around such a new policy instrument. The chapter finds that a conducive environment for the enactment of the preparation scheme ranging from the centre to the periphery eventually came into existence. This environment was conditioned on the alignment of cultural scripts between Copenhagen and Nuuk, positioning Greenland as an object of a modernization process. In this way, the chapter adds to our knowledge about how a policy instrument is recontextualized in a downloading and subsequent uploading process in a post-colonial context.

The author shares his memories of his communication with Yu.M. Lotman from 1977 to 1984. From 1976 to 1980, the author studied at the Herzen Institute in Leningrad and several times took part in student conferences in Tartu, and also came to listen to lectures by Yu.M. Lotman, Z.G. Mints, B.M. Gasparov and other teachers. The author shares his memories of Lotman's lectures and seminars, in particular, about the course of lectures dedicated to “Eugene Onegin”. In addition to Lotman's research on poetics and the history of literature, the author's attention was drawn to his works on the semiotics of everyday behavior, theater and theatricality. In Lotman's book Semiotics of Cinema and Problems of Cinema Aesthetics (1973), the author draws on a detailed analysis of Antonioni's film Blow Up. Lotman's article “The Theme of Cards and the Card Game in Russian Literature of the Early 19th Century” (1975) became one of the incentives for the author to write the article “The Queen of Spades in Children's Folklore” (1992, 1998).

Abstract The Integrated Systems for Invasive Species (ISIS) research team came together nearly a decade ago to explore the contributions that a multidisciplinary bioeconomic approach could make to invasive species science. We are not the first to do this; other researchers cut the path and advanced the field so that our work has been possible (e.g., Gordon 1954; Schaefer 1957; Daly 1968; Hammack and Brown 1974; Clark 1976; Crocker and Tschirhart 1992; Perrings et al. 2000). Each chapter in this book represents the efforts of the ISIS team to add to the foundation provided by previous bioeconomic research.

When Caxton Foster of the University of Massachusetts published his book Computer Architecture in 1970, this term was only just being recognized, reluctantly, by the computing community. This despite an influential paper published in 1964 by a group of IBM engineers on the “Architecture of the IBM System/360.” For instance, ACM’s “Curriculum 68” made no mention of the term in its elaborate description of the entire scope of computing as an academic discipline. Rather, in the late 1960s and well into the ’70s terms such as computer organization, computer structures, logical organization, computer systems organization, or, most blandly, computer design were preferred to describe computers in an abstract sort of way, independent of the physical (hardware) details. Thus a widely referenced paper by Michael Flynn of Stanford University, published in 1974, was titled “Trends and Problems in Computer Organization.” And Maurice Wilkes, even in the third edition of his Time-Sharing Computer Systems (1975) declined to use the term computer architecture. Yet, computer architecture as both an abstract way of looking at, understanding, and designing computers, and as a field of computer science emerged in the first years of the ’70s. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) founded a Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA) in 1970 to join the ranks of other specialist IEEE TCs. The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) followed suit in 1971 by establishing, alongside other special-interest groups, the Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (SIGARCH). And in 1974, the first of what came to be the annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA) was held in Gainesville, Florida. By the end of the decade a series of significant textbooks and articles bearing the term computer architecture(s) had appeared. The reason for naming an aspect of the computer its “architecture” and the reason for naming an academic and research discipline “computer architecture” can be traced back to the mid-1940s and the paradigm-shaping unpublished reports by John von Neumann of the Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, and his collaborators, Arthur Burks and Herman Goldstine.

Camp leads the New Haven Clock Company as the company successfully builds a profitable business in inexpensive pocket watches. Factory expansions are made, the company builds a significant financial surplus, and sizable dividends are paid. Camp writes a series of three fictional sports books for boys from 1908 to 1911 and with assistance from ghostwriters publishes two more series: one, from 1911 to 1914, of six less expensive books under a pseudonym (Camp probably wrote the first book in this series) and another, from 1913 to 1915, of three books under Camp’s name (possibly all by a ghostwriter). A culture is growing around football, with a play on Broadway (The College Widow in 1904), added fight songs, homecoming festivities (beginning about 1910), and a first game at the Tournament of Roses (1902). The Intercollegiate Athletic Association becomes the NCAA and by 1909 has sixty-seven members; it is led until 1930 (except for the years 1913-16) by Palmer Pierce.

Abstract The long boom was already breaking up in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but the OPEC oil price rise (from $3.45 to $11.58 per barrel at the end of 1973) heralded the arrival of a wholly new phase in post-war British policy. Whilst the OPEC price rise was far from the only cause of the problems of the 1970s, its effects were serious and widespread. For Britain it meant a sharp deterioration in the trade balance (see Table 10.2) and hence a substantial deflationary pressure, which was reinforced by the effects on exports of similar effects in other oil-importing countries. In addition, the generality of oil use in the economy imparted a sharp upward twist to prices. This latter effect came on top of a pre-existing sudden upward movement in commodity prices in general, brought about by the simultaneous and rapid expansion of demand in the advanced industrial countries in the early 1970s. The resulting ‘stagflation’ posed economic policy-makers with unprecedented problems and turned the 1970s into a decade of crisis.

The chapter assesses disjunctures between military routines and patterns of leisure and nightlife in the cities of the eastern Mediterranean. Military authorities attempted to control the desires of their subordinates to escape from the confines of the camp through the provision of leisure activities intended to boost military effectiveness. Many servicemen, however, continued their pursuit of pleasure in the nocturnal city, stimulating a flourishing of entertainment venues that came to occupy a major place in the topography of the imagined Levantine city. The chapter finally considers how military time-keeping regimes were extended to the city through the control of licensing hours and lighting in a failed attempt to silence and extinguish the night.

In “Ulrich Bonnell Phillips and World War I: Finding pax plantation' at Camp Gordon, Georgia,” John David Smith examines Phillips (1877-1934), who emerged as the leading historian of the South during the Progressive Era. During the First World War, Phillips served as a non-military volunteer staff officer for the Young Men's Christian Association at a boot camp in DeKalb County, Georgia, that hosted more than 9,000 African American draftees. Phillips, whose influential writings transformed him into America's most influential historian of slavery between the two world wars, took leave from the University of Michigan to finish what became his landmark book, American Negro Slavery (1918), a work that remained influential among historians until after World War II.

In December 1947, Eph Sparrow, then working on an MS, came to me asking if there wasn’t some small project he could do instead of going home for Christmas. Just before this time Dusenberie’s book on finite differences was published. There he solved a problem of conduction through insulation on a finite L/D cylinder. I suggested that we try to build a hydraulic analogy for the insulation. Eph made up five different diameter open-ended cans. With three setscrews near the top of the cans, one can could be placed inside the other on centers with different end gaps. Water added to the space between the cans provided different magnitudes of L/2. This provided a variety of magnitudes, Ri, R0, L/2, T0 = R0 − Ri.

Full textAbstract:
Ernst Otto Schmidt is practically unknown in the row of aeronautical and especially helicopter pioneers. This is because his profession was a decoration painter and he earned good reputation at the time. However, he also was fascinated by the idea to vertically take off and land with a machine, experimented more than half of his life with models and held two patents for his designs (issued 1924 and 1939). Oral reports state that one demonstration flight was performed in 1929 and a U.S. businessman offered funding that Schmidt denied. Schmidt was afraid of being laughed at and kept his experiments secret for a long time. Without a wealthy sponsor his designs never came to fruition, partly because he also lacked any aeronautical engineering education. However, some ideas he had were realized by others at much later times. A book about Ernst Otto Schmidt was published by his grandson, the co-author of this paper. Additional personal correspondence from his family archive and further material found by the author are provided here for the first time.

Abstract The realization of sculptured shapes using CAD systems is still today a very complex and time consuming operation. For these reasons, design by physical modeling is still in use and remains in force in many industries (automotive, ski boots, sport articles). For the manufacturing of complex free-form surfaces, in situations in which it is more desirable to proceed from a physical model to a numerical definition rather than use mathematics to derive the physical part, copy milling techniques are widely used. This paper gives a brief overview about copy milling techniques for 3 axis copy milling machines, and proposes a feature based method to support an automatic tool path generation for the super-finishing phase. The proposed method is divided in two parts: super-finishing features recognition and tool path generation. Using copy milling techniques, the model of the object to be milled is obtained by digitizing. Therefore a global mathematical surface description of the model does not exist. In such a situation a model interpretation phase is required to recognize the super-finishing features and thus proceed to the tool path generation. A two step algorithm for super-finishing feature recognition on a digitized model is proposed: features arc recognized on the basis of the digitized point density and the normal vectors of the triangles generated by the surface reconstruction (based on Delaunay triangulation method). The tool path is then generated using a method based on the calculation of the Voronoi diagram on the area identified as super-finishing feature. The super-finishing feature recognition and tool path generation modules have been integrated as part of a more general CAM system for copy milling called HICAM. The architecture of such a system will be presented together with examples of solutions obtained by means of the use of the implemented prototype modules.

Full textAbstract:
After the urban stagnation that supposed the autarchic stage, began the true urban "boom" that would double the urbanized area of the city of Valencia. From the radio-concentric structural solution proposed by the PGOU of 1946, new urban and industrial development axes were established, the western one being Manises-Quart de Poblet-Aldaia, specialized in the metal industry. But the Plan was not feasible without a network of roads that would give the historic roads the right proportion to their new condition. This is the case of the Camí Reial de Castilla that in 1953 opened to traffic, becoming the new entrance of the road from Madrid to the city of Valencia and the connection with the airport of Manises. This created a great commercial and industrial axis along where large companies would be installed given their good communications with the state capital. This is the case of the Coca-Cola bottler (1958), the metal processing plant FLEX (1961) or the S.E.A.T. subsidiary (1965), all of which are the work of the same architect, Mauro Lleó Serret (1914-2001), who became pioneer in the construction of modern Valencia. It is important to know the architecture that has helped to configure part of our city, in this case the one that connects with its western metropolitan area, giving it a façade that will approach solutions already used by the great masters of architecture like Mies.

The objective of this work is to demonstrate the evolution of the urban diffusion of Valparaíso, in a time frame of 200 years, a process that has become a scenario of socio-territorial segregation, fostered by the economic liberalization policies of the last 50 years. In addition, it has an intrinsic objective in its analysis structure, which is to use the systemic approach of Luis Ainstein, which consists of three key moments, as an attractive central area, mainly due to the port and its activity, later being the temporary financial center of the new country, which generates a process of massive urbanization, which we characterize in two sub-stages due to the type of development policies, exogenous growth, which is a primary economic policy-export of minerals, which attracts a large number of immigrants, This generates an economic boom, which ends with the creation of synthetic saltpeter and the construction of the Panama Canal, which leaves the port off the commercial routes, and then, at this same stage, we characterize endogenous growth, marked by the period of industrialization and rural-city migration in the middle of the 20th century. Finally, this work provides the economic framework from 1973 to the current period, which inserts this city, already converted into a metropolitan area in the context of global economy, at the cost of a shocking process of economic liberalization, deepened in the years of democracy, which It results in a territory directed by the market rather than by planning, evidencing a segmented and discontinuous urbanization in its metropolitan area.. Keywords: Urban Diffusion, metropolitan area, Latin American. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo evidenciar la evolución de la difusión urbana de Valparaíso, en un marco temporal de 200 años, proceso que ha devenido en un escenario de segregación socio territorial, propiciado por las políticas de liberalización económica de los últimos 50 años. Además, cuenta con un objetivo intrínseco en su estructura de análisis, que es utilizar la aproximación sistémica de Luis Ainstein, la cual consta de tres momentos claves, como área central atrayente, principalmente por el puerto y su actividad, posteriormente ser el centro financiero temporal del nuevo país, lo que genera un proceso de urbanización masiva, la cual caracterizamos dos sub-etapas debido al tipo de políticas de desarrollo, el crecimiento exógeno, que es una política económica primaria-exportadora de minerales, que atrae gran cantidad de inmigrantes, esto genera un boom económico, que termina con la creación del salitre sintético y la construcción del Canal de Panamá, lo que deja al puerto fuera de las rutas comerciales, y luego, en esta misma etapa caracterizamos el crecimiento endógeno, marcado por el periodo de industrialización y la migración campo-ciudad de mitad del S.XX. Finalmente este trabajo entrega el marco económico desde 1973 al periodo actual, el cual inserta a esta ciudad, ya convertida en área metropolitana en el contexto de economía global, a costa de un shockeante proceso de liberalización económica, profundizado en los años de democracia, que da como resultado un territorio dirigido por el mercado más que por la planificación, evidenciando una urbanización segmentada y discontinua en su área metropolitana.
