Full textAbstract:
From time to time, the annual Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC) publishes its papers. Kunnan, his contributors, and Erlbaum are to be commended for a rich, well edited, and thematically unified offering. Some wise decisions were made: author-provided abstracts, references following each paper, author-provided annotated bibliographies, and a rich index. This is more than a collection of conference papers. It is a book in its own right with the potential to become a textbook on language test validation.

Full textAbstract:
There is a proposition in palaeoslavistics that the reconstructed prototype of the Izbornik of 1076 is a composition designated as the Kniazheskii Izbornik, which originated from the time of the Bulgarian Tsar Peter (927–969). This article presents an overview of the contents of three manuscripts, which are copies of texts in the so-called Kniazheskii Izbornik: No. 162 from the collection of the Moscow Theological Academy, from the 15th century, Russian origin; No. 189 from the collection of the Hilandar Monastery and which is composed of two parts: Part 1 from the beginning of the 17th century, probably written by a copyist from Moldavia, and Part 2 from 1684, Russian in origin; and No. 280 (333) from the collection of St. Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church, 15th–16th century, Moldavian in origin. There are suggestions for primary sources of these manuscripts, and the article considers the paths by which texts identical to the Kniazheskii Izbornik found their way into miscellanies in the Late Middle Ages. The three miscellanies under discussion are important witnesses of the paraenetic literature in the earliest period of the Slavia Orthodoxa, which integrated homilies of John Chrysostom, question and answers, interpretations of the Scripture, wise sayings, narration, and apophthegmata from the Paterikon and fragments of the Kniazheskii Izbornik.

Full textAbstract:
A short time after 1206 and before 1215, a Londoner assembled a massive collection of older and near contemporary English laws, called theLeges Anglorumby historians, and inserted long interpolations and spurious codes that enunciated many of the principles that guided the baronial opposition to King John and later became part of the Magna Carta. To those familiar with the struggle leading up to the creation of the Magna Carta, these principles should cause no surprise. These ancient laws were made to proclaim that “in the kingdom right and justice ought to reign more than perverse will” (ECf4, 11.1.A.6; Liebermann 1903, 635). In another part of the collection, King Arthur, making his first appearance in English law, is credited with establishing as law the requirement that all nobles, knights, and freemen of the whole kingdom of Britain swear “to defend the kingdom against foreigners and enemies” (ECf4, 32.A.5–7; Liebermann 1903, 655). More surprising is the attribution of the regularly assembled Hustings court in London to the Trojans (who became the Britons). The seventh-century West Saxon king, Ine, suddenly looms large in the ranks of Britain's lawmakers; he not only reigns for the good of all, but is also given the lordly virtues of twelfth-century chivalric romance: he is “generous, wise, prudent, moderate, strong, just, spirited, and warlike” (as was appropriate for the time and place) (ECf4, 32.C.2, 32.C.8; Liebermann 1903, 658–59). A confection of bits of other law, attributed here to King Alfred, orders an end to vice, national education for freemen, and unity for all “as if sworn brothers for the utility of the kingdom” (Leges Angl, Pseudo-Alfred 1–6; Liebermann 1894, 19–20). Finally, in the grandest statement of English political ambition, Arthur appears again as the great conqueror, whose spirit was not satisfied by Britain alone: “Courageously and speedily he subjugated all Scandinavia, which is now called Norway, and all the islands beyond, namely Iceland and Greenland, which belong to Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Gotland, Denmark, Samland, Vinland, Curland, Runoe, Finland, Wirland, Estland, Karelien,Lapland, and all other lands and islands of the eastern Ocean as far as Russia” (ECf4, 32.E; Liebermann 1903, 659).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe composition of the library of John IV of Nassau (1410-75) and his wife Mary van Loon (1424-1502) has been reconstructed on the basis of data from a fifteenth-century book list, surviving manuscripts and seventeenth- and eighteenth-century catalogues. The collection was possibly made up of at least 29 volumes which in the main dealt with devotion and catechesis. In contrast to their son Engelbert II whose collection of books manifests a pronounced Burgundian taste, John and Mary specialised in collecting rather plainly executed manuscripts with both Dutch and German texts.

Full textAbstract:
Sir John St. Aubyn (1758-1839) was a collector and a facilitator to science and the arts. His particular interest was for mineralogy and this lead him to create a sizeable mineral collection containing many interesting specimens. Some of these have been collected in the field by Sir John St. Aubyn, but most of the specimens have been bought from dealers or as whole collections in auction rooms. We know that St. Aubyn bought a proportion of John Stuart's, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-1792) mineral collection from Dr. William Babington (1756-1833) in 1799. He also purchased a smaller mineral collection from the son of Richard Greene� (1716-1793) in the same year. Richard Greene is an important man to all of us, because he opened the first public museum in England. He was also a good friend of Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). Before his death, Sir John St. Aubyn employed Isaiah Deck of Cambridge to auction his mineral collection. In 1834, Isaiah split the collection and gave two smaller collections to Sir John's wife Juliana and to his daughter Mrs. Parnell. Then a larger collection went to the Civil Military Library at Devonport. Luckily parts of the original collection still exist today in Saffron Walden Museum and in Plymouth City Museum. The minerals that are now in Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery (PCMAG) came to the museum in 1924, on a permanent loan from Devonport. In 2007, PCMAG secured a grant from the Esm�e Fairbairn Foundation, enabling the museum's natural history department to conduct a variety of work on this historic collection. In the following article, I will recount my journey through time as I removed centuries of dust to reveal a collection of scientific and cultural importance.

Full textAbstract:
Collection needs are a challenge to communicate. Collection staff know the attributes of their collections, but other museum colleagues may not. In collections management, decisions of resource allocation may be made locally, rather than within the context of a larger organisational and strategic framework. The Natural History Museum (NHM), like any of its counterparts, has finite resources to realize its dual role as a centre for research excellence and public engagement in natural history. As such, capturing and communicating collection qualities and needs is essential for effective resource planning across the Museum. Effective museum planning depends upon a variety of factors - not least a clear, holistic understanding of the collections that is not just limited to item condition, but which also takes into account their significance and information value. However, many of these factors can be hard to measure or quantify. The NHM has implemented a transformative institution-wide collections management project, 'Join the Dots', adapted from a Smithsonian methodology called 'Move the Dots'. This methodology captures the qualities of 80 million items and integrates them with practical and expansive data architecture. Collections are scored across 16 criteria, coordinated by: Condition, Importance, Information and Outreach. The NHM methodology deviates from the Smithsonian source in four significant ways: 1) allowing collection staff to separate collections into discrete 'collection units' and diversifying unit definitions, so data better reflects the practical working arrangement of any collection; 2) criteria have been edited, removed, and added to reduce subjective reportage; 3) a manual has been produced to establish standards across disciplines; 4) comparative analysis is made possible via a web - based tool, through which users can correlate collections data on an interactive graphical display that presents information at levels of overview and at fine granularity. These consistent frameworks move collections assessment from a subjective practice to an objective one. This methodology continues to adapt based on feedback from staff, initial attempts to interpret the data, and practice. All internal stakeholders can access Join the Dots. Where priority projects are clear, these will become focal points of collection staff forward job plans. This equips collections staff with a tool to communicate collection needs, whilst also ensuring museum planners can articulate the state of collections with precision when presenting to trustees or other high - level audiences. As such, Join the Dots integrates the needs of curatorial practice with the needs of strategic development and policy.

This edition of the life of Blessed John Cantius comes from the 7th edition of Lives of the Saints compiled by Piotr Skarga in 1610. The Life of Blessed John of Kęty is a pioneering work of the project ‘Critical Edition of Piotr Skarga’s Writings. Part 2: Lives of the Saints, Polemical and Catechetical Writings’, led by Magdalena Komorowska. Piotr Skarga was one of many men of letters commemorating the life of the pious professor and later patron of the Jagiellonian University, but the extraordinary popularity of Skarga’s hagiographical collection brought wide recognition to John of Kęty. The edition is preceded by an introduction to the reading, containing biographical information about St. John of Kęty, a description of the elements that create his hagiographical image, with particular emphasis on the miracles at his intercession, a short analysis of this life against the background of the entire collection of Lives of the Saints, and the principles of publication.

In 1954 and 1958 the John Rylands Library acquired a significant portion of the library of Dr Moses Gaster (1856–1939). As a scholar and bibliophile, Gaster collected manuscripts, printed books, pamphlets and amulets. His collection reflects his wide ranging interests: philology (including Romanian language, folklore and literature), Judaica, magic and mysticism, and Samaritan studies. This article presents a survey of the varied Rylands Gaster collection. It includes an inventory of the miscellaneous manuscript sequence, a complete handlist of Gaster‘s German manuscripts and an introduction to the archival material.

The article explores English stone-cutting products of the 18th century from Blue John fluorite. The objects of research are items from the Mining Museum collection. The authors have identified a wide range of analogues from various collections of Russian and European museums, auction houses. The article considers the history of the development of stone-cutting production from Blue John fluorite; possible stone-cutting workshops have been identified. In the study determined the technical and technological features of the manufacture of fluorite products in England at the end of the 18th century. The article deals with issues of attribution and reconstruction of museum items using 3D-visualization. The technical and technological features of fluorite processing and the technology for producing art objects was clarified thanks to the involvement of the laboratory base of the Center for Collective Use of the Mining University. A chemical study was carried out on samples of the substance used to stabilize the stone material of objects. On the basis a wide visual range the appearance of the destroyed vases was restored using 3D-technologies and the places of loss in objects from the Mining Museum were supplemented. The use of modern technological innovations made it possible to restore the appearance of monuments with unsatisfactory preservation and include objects of the 18th century. into scientific circulation. A significant corpus of archival documents has been revealed, giving an idea of the sources and methods of entry of items from English fluorite into the collection of the Mining Museum. The results obtained allowed us to change the idea of the formation of the collection of the Mining Museum; to supplement previously known information about the production of fluorite objects of arts and crafts in England.

After he retired from his career as an ophthalmologist in 1920, Dr Casey Wood devoted himself to his two private passions – ornithology and book collecting. He attended auctions, badgered book dealers, and haunted bookshops wherever he travelled with his wife Emma Shearer Wood. In 1926 Wood turned to Wheldon and Wesley and their agent, William John Henry Craddock (1870-1941), to help him acquire a magnificent collection held by the bookseller Quaritch of over 900 large, colourful and often life-size drawings of exotic birds, animals and fish, and equally imposing images of flowers, insects, and fungi, loosely inserted in twenty-nine portfolios, and painted by arguably the finest animal and botanical painters of eighteenth-century Britain. The collection had been created by the British jurist and collector Taylor White FRS (1701-72). This article recounts how White accumulated his collection, and how Wood acquired it for the Blacker Wood Natural History Collection at McGill University Library in Montreal. It also describes how White catalogued his collection, and how subsequent dealers and librarians added their own layers of documentation, up to the digitization of the paintings and manuscript notes by the McGill Library, which has made them available to contemporary researchers.

At the first wine auction I ever attended, I saw the repeal of the law of one price. This empirical surprise led me to begin collecting data on wine auctions, to interview auctioneers, and even to buy a little wine. In the meantime I have also had the opportunity (with John Abowd) to observe and collect data on the auction sale of impressionist and contemporary paintings. This paper reports on some of the empirical regularities that I and others have observed in the actual operation of the auction markets for these items. In view of the rich and diverse array of theoretical literature on auctions, it seems high time economists began to spell out precisely what facts it is meant to explain.

Full textAbstract:
John Pelan, Director of the Scottish Council on Archives (SCA), explores some of the challenges around searching Scotland’s archives online. Difficulties in accessing information, knowing what exists and where to find it, and the multiplicity of online catalogues can be confusing and frustrating for users, particularly inexperienced and amateur family historians. The article provides information about the Scottish Council on Archives (SCA) plans, working in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders, to create a new portal for accessing Scotland’s archive collections including those of universities, local authorities, businesses and communities. The portal, which will be a development of the existing Scottish Archive Network resource, will allow users to search across many catalogues for both collection and item level records. The new portal will be an invaluable resource for genealogists, researchers, academics, students, historians and members of the public by providing guidance on understanding, using and accessing archives. SCA expects that the site will become a powerful advocacy tool for archives, showing not just the breadth and depth of collections across Scotland but highlighting the many ways that archives can be used inform and improve society. For genealogists, but also for everyday users of archives as well as potential new users, this portal will open new channels of research and local history.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this article was to explore why small wine producers in one of Australia’s premium wine regions engage in horizontal networking within both their sub-regions and at a state-wide level. The benefits of these formal network relationships are investigated from a collaborative marketing perspective. Design/methodology/approach – Qualitative data were collected via in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 33 wine producers. Industry informant interviews and secondary data collection enabled triangulation of the research findings. Findings – Overall the study found that producers join horizontal networks for commercial, social and strategic reasons. These motivations evolve over time as the owner/managers gain experience and presence in the region. Horizontal networks assist regions to build goodwill and industry norms, and share knowledge. Such social capital encourages collaboration among wineries and enables networks to effectively pursue shared objectives. Horizontal networks at a sub-regional level also play a key role in establishing and promoting wine tourism. Practical implications – The paper shows how horizontal wine networks develop over time and the key motivations for membership. Those looking to establish networks can benefit from knowledge of the key drivers which influence and enhance participation. Originality/value – To date most network studies in the sector have focused on informal relationships between wineries, or networks and clusters comprising firms vertically integrated in the supply chain. The paper contributes to understanding why small wine producers join horizontal networks and examines how collaborative marketing can assist boutique and developing wine regions to increase the competitiveness and market penetration of their products.

Full textAbstract:
It is with deep regret that we record the death of John Anthony Chaldecott on 2 May 1998 at the age of 82. He was a founder member of the BSHS and served as Honorary Secretary and as President.After graduating in physics at London University, John took up teaching and lecturing, but this was interrupted by war service in the RAF Meteorological Branch. In the fighting in the Netherlands, he was mentioned in despatches. In 1949, he joined the Science Museum as Assistant Keeper in the Physics Department. There, he was in charge of the Optics Collection and also the Heat and the George III Collections, for which he produced catalogues. For some years, he acted as Secretary to the Museum's Advisory Council.In 1961, John became Keeper of the Science Museum Library, a post he held until his retirement in 1976. His time there was active and eventful. First, the transfer of the Library's nation-wide loans service, together with many of its periodicals, to the National Lending Library of Science and Technology in 1962 entailed a redirection of the Library's resources and services. Then, he was closely involved in the planning of the present Library building on the Imperial College campus in South Kensington, opened in 1969. He made a thorough study of the latest library design and equipment, so as to incorporate as many modern features as possible within a very tight budget. The success of the building owed much to his untiring and meticulous attention to detail.While building was in progress, his attention was assailed from a fresh quarter, this time from the National Libraries Committee. Their conclusions disconcerted the Science Museum and the fact that the Library remained under the Museum's wing, with a redefined role, owed much to John's skill and determination in negotiation. The Library was to specialize in the history of science and he did much to turn the Library towards the new direction. It was his decision to assemble the Library's scattered books and periodicals in this field and house them in a special history of science reading room. All this chimed in with his own interest in this subject. He had gained an M.Sc. in the history and philosophy of science at University College London in 1949, followed up later with a Ph.D. He was active in the BSHS from the beginning and he was Honorary Secretary during 1963–68. He was elected President for the year 1972–73; his presidential address was entitled ‘Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795), scientist’. He published a number of papers on historical subjects, but his abiding interest lay in scientific instrument makers; he formed a massive record of information about those active in London from 1750 to 1840, now deposited in the Science Museum Library Archives Collection. Soon after his retirement, he was responsible for a major exhibition at the Science Museum illustrating Wedgwood's life and work and he published an accompanying monograph.Throughout his life, John preserved that calm and even-tempered manner which made him such a pleasant colleague and genial, good-humoured friend. He was always fair and even-handed in his dealings with others.

Full textAbstract:
A puzzling item of hollow painted papier-m�ch�, apparently a replica of a fossil and purportedly made about 1837, was acquired by the then Royal Scottish Museum in 1966 from the Free Church of Scotland College, Edinburgh, presumably from the latter�s natural sciences teaching collection. It resembles a fossil reptile vertebra or chunk of plant root, but the original specimen and identification remain unknown. The replica does not appear to be a cast from a mould. The inherent limitations and potentials of the technique used, apparently combining three-dimensional modelling and accentuated paintwork, raise the possibility that it was made for Professor John Fleming by his wife Melville Christie as a teaching aid for his lectures at King�s College, Aberdeen, or the Free Church College. The use of papier-m�ch� and paper to make replicas of fossils is briefly discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to reveal about the decision making by Savannah and John in their love relationship in Nicholas Sparks’ Dear John. The writers employ qualitative method in conducting this research and in the data collection, the writers use primary source: the work itself Nicholas Sparks’ Dear John and secondary source: another references such as journals, books or internet sources which related and relevant to the research. In term of data analysis, the writers use psychoanalytic approach because decision making is so related with thoughts, emotions and environment. The study shows that when they are in a long distance relationship, they make a wrong decision too soon to end up their relationship just because of time, situation and feeling and they still love each other deeply when they meet again but it is too late to turn around the situation because Savannah has become someone else’s wife and it is impossible to break their mariage. The result of this study shows that when making a decision, John and Savannah prefer in id which means that they make a decision just because of their immediate satisfication that every wishful or pleasure should be satisfied without thinking about the consequences, if it brings a damage or profit in their future.

Full textAbstract:
John Apokaukos (c. 1155–1233) was an outstanding church and political figure, humanist and writer. The large collection of Apokaukos’ letters is an invaluable historical source and liter-ary monument. In this paper, the letters of John Apokaukos are considered in the context of the letter genre and its canons: it is explored how John handles the traditional motifs of Byzantine epistolary etiquette. The messages written in three common situations are ana-lyzed. These situations are receiving a letter, sending gifts and receiving gifts. Apokaukos’ closeness to the epistolary tradition of the 11th–12th centuries is revealed, parallels are pointed out with the letters of Michael Psellos, Theophylaktos of Ohrid, Michael Choniates and others. It is demonstrated that Apokaukos uses a wide range of etiquette motifs, but many of his letters are original: sometimes he interprets traditional motifs in a new way and revives obsolete clichés, and sometimes completely deviates from the established rules. Traditional formulae become a reason for a literary game and friendly humor: Apokaukos often resorts to irony and grotesque, associated with the use of quotations from ancient lit-erature and the Bible in a humble context of everyday life.

Full textAbstract:
On the basis of a case-study centred on the experience of Sir John Perceval (d.1686) of north Cork, it is argued that books and their spatial location constituted elements within a broader decorative ensemble expressive of cultural hegemony. Moreover, Perceval’s intellectually-diverse world of print is contrasted with the marginalised and geographically-adjacent sphere of Gaelic script as embodied by the poet and scribe Eoghan Ó Caoimh (d.1726). Notwithstanding the dynamic ideological significance of a text such as Keating’s Foras Feasa ar Éirinn, its first appearance in print in a 1723 English translation, is emblematic of the cultural and social authority of early modern print in a colonial milieu. Reference is made to the library of James Butler (d.1688), first duke of Ormond, and the Parisian book purchases of Francis FitzMaurice (d.1818) and his wife Anastasia (d.1799), third earl and countess of Kerry, by way of illustration of print’s uncontested dominance among elite Irish readers and patrons of the trade in books.

Abstract. John Neale was born in Burton-on-Trent where his father was concerned with the grocery business and, appropriately to the town, his grandfather was a cooper in the brewing industry. After leaving school he spent two terms at Manchester University, passing the First Year examinations and, in 1943, volunteered for wartime service in the Royal Navy. One year later he was commissioned an officer and served in the hazardous but vital role of minesweeping. With discharge from the navy in 1947 he rejoined Manchester University to follow a BSc General degree in Geology and Geography with subsidiary Zoology, graduating in 1949. It was during this time that he met his future wife, Patti, who was a fellow undergraduate. Upon graduation he was appointed as Assistant Lecturer in the small Sub-department (later a full Department) of Geology of the University of Hull, which was to be his scientific home for the rest of his professional life. John Neale and his senior colleague Lewis Penny, who also joined in 1949, were the only members of staff and for some years taught the full spectrum of Geology between them. John Neale’s diaries record how they had intensive discussions about developing their sub-department and building the teaching collections. The department grew in numbers of students and staff and won a reputation for sound teaching and, in time, for research. It is therefore easy to understand how saddened John Neale was when, following a reorganization of Earth Science departments in British universities, the department he had . . .

The Open Access Series of Imaging Studies is a series of magnetic resonance imaging data sets that is publicly available for study and analysis. The initial data set consists of a cross-sectional collection of 416 subjects aged 18 to 96 years. One hundred of the included subjects older than 60 years have been clinically diagnosed with very mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The subjects are all right-handed and include both men and women. For each subject, three or four individual T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scans obtained in single imaging sessions are included. Multiple within-session acquisitions provide extremely high contrast-to-noise ratio, making the data amenable to a wide range of analytic approaches including automated computational analysis. Additionally, a reliability data set is included containing 20 subjects without dementia imaged on a subsequent visit within 90 days of their initial session. Automated calculation of whole-brain volume and estimated total intracranial volume are presented to demonstrate use of the data for measuring differences associated with normal aging and Alzheimer's disease.

Full textAbstract:
The new collection of essays edited by John A. Vasquez in What Do We Know About War? provides a useful overview of the quantitative literature on war. This book makes no claims to move the field forward significantly but, instead, offers seniors and first-year graduate students a good basic understanding of how statistical analyses have been used to explain the variation between war and peace. The book has significant strengths and weaknesses. Its strengths are the wide array of questions addressed and the attempt to provide a systematic discussion of the current state of the quantitative knowledge on war; its weaknesses are the paucity of attention paid to new insights from the rational choice literature and their implications for the quantitative study of conflict.

Full textAbstract:
A number of publications have been devoted to the Persian campaign of Peter the Great and the stay of the Russian Imperial troops on the southwestern shores of the Caspian Sea in 1722–1735 – monographs, articles, dissertations, collections of documents and materials prepared with the use of a wide range of sources and literature. This topic continues to attract the attention of historians even today. It has acquired particular relevance in connection with the 350th anniversary of the birth of the first Russian Emperor Peter the Great and the 300th anniversary of the Persian campaign. A large number of documentary sources from the collections of the federal and regional archives of Russia cover the history of the Persian campaign and its results, which made it possible to reveal new episodes of imperial policy in the Caucasian-Caspian region in the first quarter of the 18th century. Among the most valuable sources on the history of the Persian campaign are the travel notes of the English-speaking authors – the direct participants and eyewitnesses of the events described. One of these sources is the John Bell’s book “Travels from St. Petersburg, across Russia, to different parts of Asia”, particularly, the section titled “Journey from Moscow to Derbent in Persia, in 1722”, translated by the author of the paper into Russian with commentaries. This translation may be a valuable contribution to both the ethnography and historiography of the Russian Caucasian studies of the first quarter of the 18th century.

Full textAbstract:
The catalog of the heresies of Filastrius of Brescia, like other early Christian collections of informations about heterodox movements at the time, testifies the existence of groups characterized by excessively rigorous asceticism. Their description is the subject of the article. Most of these unorthodox paramonastic movements were based on the Gnostic and Manichean assumptions. The groups that accentuated the exaggerated role of prayer, among which the Messialians were the leaders, have gained wide coverage. Descriptions of their activities take up a lot of space in the early Christian catalogs of heresies, especially in the case of John of Damascus. Filastrius, however, for some reason misguided the activity of the Messalians. This fact requires a careful treatment of the historical credibility of his work on heresies.

Full textAbstract:
The article points out the representations that the city of Chișinău had shortly after the Union of Bessarabia with Romania in the notes written by the American John Kaba and the French Emmanuel de Martonne. Westerners visited it in 1919, and their descriptions and information were intended to inform the people of their countries on various aspects, from economic to political and cultural. Although they aimed to make a study, their representations were not always dry, involving aesthetic attitudes. We believe that some passages fix representative and synthetic images of the period, thus enriching the imagological collection of the capital of interwar Bessarabia. For example, Emmanuel de Martonne saw a Chișinău with wide streets intersecting at right angles, beautiful buildings and parks, with shops and museums. This vision proved, according to him, a modern European urban sensibility.

For several decades, members of the Colenso family conducted a vigorous humanitarian campaign across two continents, keeping in touch and exchanging information with one another between England and Natal. Prolific writers, continuously immersed in the often frenetic day to day activity of their campaigning work, they had little time to consider preserving for the future the vast amount of correspondence and documentation they produced. The result is that much of their prodigious output survives today only by chance, dispersed between different collections in the United Kingdom and South Africa.The Colenso papers are authored not by an individual but severally by the members of a family, the family of John William Colenso, the first Bishop of Natal, his brother in law, his wife, their five children and two daughters in law.

Full textAbstract:
Nanofluid has a wide range of uses in various fluid systems, because of its excellent growth in thermal conductivity. The current paper explores the transfer of heat and mass process in MHD nanofluid flow across a stretching sheet, considering the collective impacts of nonlinear thermal radiation, Joule heating, and binary chemical reactions with convective boundary conditions for Williamson nanofluid. The necessary transformations are carried out to alter the controlling PDE’s into a collection of linked ODE’s. The shooting approach, in conjunction with the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method, is employed to get solutions to highly nonlinear ODE’s. The impact of varied main factors on velocity, temperature, concentration, for Weissenberg number, Biot number along with other parameters are depicted graphically, whilst the change in the rate of heat and mass transfer is investigated via numerical data in tabular form. The acquired numerical data show that expanding the Eckert number diminishes the rate of mass transfer whereas expanding the thermal radiation parameter, expandsthe rate of heatand rate of mass transfer.

В статье представлен краткий вводный обзор до сих пор не изданного на русском языке крупного труда блж. Августина Гиппонского «Толкование на Евангелие от Иоанна» («In Ioannis Euangelium Tractatus CXXIV»), обстоятельств его написания и отражения в нём личности Августина как экзегета и проповедника. Автор напоминает читателю известное различие между так называемыми синоптическими Евангелиями и Евангелием от Иоанна и указывает на численное превосходство древнецерковных толкований на Евангелие от Матфея по сравнению с таковыми на Евангелие от Иоанна, а также, вероятно, первый образец толкования данного Евангелия в латинской традиции. Специфика Августиновского толкования на Евангелие от Иоанна определяется тем, что это скорее не научно-экзегетический трактат в собственном смысле слова, но собрание проповедейдля широкой, хотя и взыскательной аудитории. По мнению ряда зарубежных исследователей, «Толкование на Евангелие от Иоанна» было написано и произнесено в 406-418 гг.в Гиппонский епископский период жизни и деятельности Августина. Статья затрагиваетобщее отношение Августина к Священному Писанию и его в определённой степени вариативный символический подход к библейской экзегезе. Статья основывается на изучении текста блж. Августина и сопутствующей вторичной литературы по теме. The report provides a brief introductory overview of St. Augustine's of Hippo large work «The Interpretation on the Gospel of John» (In Ioannis Euangelium Tractatus CXXIV ) which has not been published in Russian, the circumstances of its writing and reflection the personality of Augustine as an exegete and preacher in it. The author reminds the reader of the well-known difference between the so-called synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John and points to the numerical superiority of the Old Church interpretations on the Gospel of Matthew compared to those on the Gospel of John, and also probably the first example of the interpretation on this Gospel in the Latin tradition. The specificity of Augustine's interpretation on John is determined by the fact that it is rather not a scientific-exegetical treatise proper, but a collection of sermons for a wide, though demanding audience. According to a number of foreign researchers the «The Interpretation on the Gospel of John» was written and pronounced in 406-418 in the Hippo episcopal period of Augustine's life and work. The report touches upon Augustine's general attitude to Holy Scripture and his variable symbolic approach to biblical exegesis in some ways. The article is based on the study of the text of the St. Augustine and related secondary literature on the subject.

The Open Access Series of Imaging Studies is a series of neuroimaging data sets that are publicly available for study and analysis. The present MRI data set consists of a longitudinal collection of 150 subjects aged 60 to 96 years all acquired on the same scanner using identical sequences. Each subject was scanned on two or more visits, separated by at least 1 year for a total of 373 imaging sessions. Subjects were characterized using the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) as either nondemented or with very mild to mild Alzheimer's disease. Seventy-two of the subjects were characterized as nondemented throughout the study. Sixty-four of the included subjects were characterized as demented at the time of their initial visits and remained so for subsequent scans, including 51 individuals with CDR 0.5 similar level of impairment to individuals elsewhere considered to have “mild cognitive impairment.” Another 14 subjects were characterized as nondemented at the time of their initial visit (CDR 0) and were subsequently characterized as demented at a later visit (CDR > 0). The subjects were all right-handed and include both men (n = 62) and women (n = 88). For each scanning session, three or four individual T1-weighted MRI scans were obtained. Multiple within-session acquisitions provide extremely high contrast to noise, making the data amenable to a wide range of analytic approaches including automated computational analysis. Automated calculation of whole-brain volume is presented to demonstrate use of the data for measuring differences associated with normal aging and Alzheimer's disease.

Professor John Gardner says on the jacket, “these essays – without exception insightful and penetrating – set a high standard for the rest of us to aspire to.” This collection of 15 essays by 16 Canadian authors originated in a conference at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University. The majority of contributors are based in southern Ontario (Osgoode or York 5, Western 3, Toronto 2, and Queen’s 1). Two are from western Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan), two from the UK (Manchester, Oxford) and one from the US (Cornell). The essays are arranged in three parts, the first being subdivided according to subject matter. It is a good thing for criminal law theorists to interest themselves in all facets of the subject. On the other hand, some will be deterred by the presence of essays on topics outside their specialty. It must be said that it is a well-produced book, even containing a subject index. I hope this book has wide circulation.

Full textAbstract:
This issue of Pure Appl. Chem. is devoted to papers based upon invited lectures delivered at the first IUPAC-sponsored Workshop on Advanced Material, "WAM1: Nanostructured Systems", held at the Hong Kong University for Science and Technology (HKUST) on July 14-18, 1999.The Topic Why nanostructured material? Chemists contribute to the well-being of society by exploiting the properties of the elements of the periodic table, or various forms of combination of elements, to make materials that are useful for "better living through chemistry." What happens if we use all the possible combinations that can be made? There remain great demands for developing new materials to improve our lives in fields such as medicine, energy, improving the environment, communication and transportation. Thus, we have to think of new ways to make materials that can be expected to display properties appropriate to the technologies of the new Millennium! The difference in properties of different elements and their derived compounds is a result of differences in the type of motion that their electrons can execute. This, in turn, depends on the space available for the electronic motion and the degree of its confinement. Thus, the difference between a metal, a semiconductor and an insulator is attributable to the electrons being delocalized in the first, more confined in the second and highly confined in the last. Can we physically cut material size sufficiently to change its electronic degree of confinement and thus its properties? We do know that while copper metal is a conductor, the copper atom and small molecular clusters of copper atoms are insulators. What is the size of an elemental assembly of a metal (i.e. the number of atoms in it) at which the metal-semiconductor or the metal-insulator transition occurs? Of course it depends on the length scale of the property measured. For semiconductors and metals, a large change in properties, e.g. absorption, emission, and conductivity, occurs on the nanometer length scale. Equally important, the property becomes very sensitive to the size of the nanoparticle. It can thus be expected that many variations in these properties should be observed for the same material by simply changing its size. The potential for harnessing these changes of properties in new technological applications is largely responsible for the current appeal of this exciting field. These considerations, along with our personal research interests, convinced me and Professor Joshua Jortner that it would be opportune to adopt this theme for the first IUPAC Workshop on Advanced Material. The publication of the talks given at the Workshop is timely, given the extraordinary rapidity with which new developments are taking place in the field. This collection of papers complements other recent publications of reviews on the topic of nanostructures, since it is more in the nature of a symposium-in-print and offers an assembly of short overviews and research papers which capture the dynamic associated with research at interdisciplinary interfaces, and with the development of attendant synthetic and analytical techniques. The promise of unimagined properties of nanostructured materials and of new-generation applications is an ongoing stimulus for further research, and it is hoped that this publication will contribute to the process, and furnish practitioners with new insights and inspiration. This is truly a multidisciplinary and future-targeted area of scientific research, and one which fully meets the IUPAC vision of 'new directions in chemistry', with its promise of hitherto undefined vistas of opportunity for discovery and exploitation. The WorkshopThe quality of the scientific presentations at this meeting was very high indeed. The strong international representation is in keeping with the spirit of IUPAC as well as the global nature of scientific research. The idea of the meeting was to get scientists active in advanced material from the West to interact strongly with those from the Orient. In this regard, we have succeeded as we achieved representation from seven countries from each side [China (Mainland and Hong Kong), Japan, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan from the Orient, and Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Spain, United Kingdom, and USA from the West]. This great accomplishment of getting us all together in such a delightful atmosphere was the result of the wise sponsorship of IUPAC and the great efforts of many people, whom I would like to acknowledge below.Acknowledgements IUPAC: for its wisdom to sponsor workshops in frontier areas of chemical research. We thank the then-IUPAC President, Prof. Joshua Jortner for cochairing the Workshop. We also thank the IUPAC Secretariat, in particular its Executive Director, Dr. John Jost, for his continuous and prompt support and Dr. Fabienne Meyers for creating and editing our web page for the Workshop and for her essential assistance in the production of this special volume. HKUST: for hosting us. We thank Dr. Nai-Teng Yu of the Chemistry Department, whose willingness to help us by accommodating the Workshop in his Department was essential; Dr. Shihe Yang whose continuous hard work and efforts made it possible to follow up the registration process; the local organizers, in particular, Prof. Leroy Chang and Ping Sheng, who supplied us with the list of participants, the names of some invited speakers and the program of a similar meeting held there recently and the Departmental staff, for their help in getting the arrangements of this workshop finalized. Georgia Tech: Dr. Clemens Burda helped in getting the workshop abstracts and putting the workshop material together, Ms. Michele Papsidero, my own secretary, spent many hours of hard work in following the process, from completing the registration list, to reminding contributors to meet different deadlines including sending the abstracts, and finally in typing and collating the whole program for the Workshop. The assistance of the USA Organizing Committee and in particular, Profs. John Zhang and Rob Whetten at Georgia Tech, was extremely useful in finalizing the scientific program. The speakers: I thank both the plenary and invited speakers who accepted our invitation, most without asking for financial support. Without them, we would not have had such an excellent scientific meeting or this valuable volume of Pure Appl.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract During the Cold War, Bulgaria was a staunch ally of the Soviet Union, and the Bulgarian State Security (DS) service worked extremely closely with the Soviet State Security Committee (KGB) on a wide range of matters, including disinformation operations as well as “sharp measures”—abductions, sabotage, and, most notably, assassinations. Not until the Cold War ended and the DS archives in Bulgaria were made accessible were scholars able to explore these intelligence operations in great depth. Although the lack of access to the KGB's foreign intelligence collections in Yasenevo poses certain limits, the availability of DS collections, including many copies of KGB records, has been a gold mine for Western scholars of Cold War–era intelligence activities. Drawing mainly on Bulgarian archival sources, this article analyzes KGB-DS intelligence cooperation regarding disinformation and “sharp measures.” Among the topics covered are recently disclosed sources on the assassination of the dissident Bulgarian writer Georgi Markov in London 1978 and the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II in May 1981. The article thus provides historical context for contemporary debates about Russian security services and their strategic use of disinformation and active measures.

Full textAbstract:
Since the nineteenth century the management of burial grounds has been the function of the cemetery superintendent. Responsible as he or she is for maintenance of the site, grave preparation, burial procedures, administration and staffing, the superintendent’s remit has gained complexity in the twentieth century through bureaucratization, legislation and more recently from ‘customer focus’. The shifting preference towards cremation has further widened the scope of the work. Little, however, has been written about the occupation. Focusing on the career of John Robertson, superintendent of the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium between 1913 and 1936, this paper draws from his contributions to The Undertakers’ Journal (TUJ), and in particular a series of articles concerning the design and management of cemeteries that forms the largest collection of literature on the subject published in the twentieth century. The paper also examines his involvement with the National Association of Cemetery Superintendents (NACS), an organization founded to support the occupation’s quest for professional recognition. From a genealogical perspective this article underlines the importance of surveying a wide range of sources when conducting genealogical researching.

Full textAbstract:
In 2011 the National Museum in Cracow received a bequest that had been specified in the last will and testament of Zofia Ruebenbauer from Ottawa. The gift was described as a 19th century Russian icon. Comparative stylistic analysis complemented by restoration work and a material study revealed an exquisite paint layer, for which analogies may be found in the mid-14th-century Greek art of the Paleologian period. The icon was probably painted in the third quarter of the 14th century in one of the centres in northern Greece including Kastoria, Veria, Mt. Athos, Thessalonike and Constantinople itself. The collection of the Byzantine Museum in Kastoria includes many icons of the holy physicians depicted in a similar pose. Iconographical details such as the surgical knives in the hands of the physicians and in the open tool case find close analogies in the 14th-century wall paintings in Peloponnese, e.g. in the Church of Saint Paraskevi (Αγία Παρασκευή, Agia Paraskevi) and Saint John Chrysostom (Άγιος Ιωάννης Χρυσόστομος, Agios Ioannes Chrisostomos) in Geraki, as well as in the Orthodox Church of the Holy Unmercenaries (Άγιοι Ανάργυροι, Agioi Anargyroi) in Nomitsi. The conclusions of the analysis regarding the icon’s provenance find indirect corroboration in the recently discovered fact that in the first half of the 19th century the work of art was owned by Haryklia Mavrocordatos-Serini, Sas-Hoszowska (1836–1906), a member of the Lvov line of the Greek princely family of Mavrocordatos. The names of her children with the exact dates of their birth appear on the reverse side of the icon. The work of art was passed down to Jerzy Ruebenbauer, who carried it away from Lvov during the Second World War, taking it first to Warsaw, where he met his future wife Zofia, and after the war to Canada via Belgium.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe treatment that Violant de Bar, duchess of Girona and queen of Aragon (1380–96), has received at the hands of medieval historians has been both negative and dismissive. She has been portrayed as a virile female and intrusive foreigner and blamed for the ruinous political and fiscal excesses allowed during the reign of her husband, Joan I (1387–96). By utilizing the vast collection of royal correspondence preserved in the Archives of the Crown of Aragon, this essay aims to show that, in contrast to the traditional representation of Violant, she creates for herself several distinct and shifting self-representations in her letters. In constructing herself as daughter, mother, wife, or widow she consciously manipulates how she wishes others to see her. It is, therefore, in the study of these letters that we confront a more authentic representation of Violant de Bar.

Abstract Efficacy of selected insecticides was evaluated for TT control and for effects on growth and yield of Okrun runner type peanut in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Peanuts were planted on 36-inch rows on 16 May. Granular insecticides were applied into the seed furrow (IF) at planting with a tractor-mounted John Deere granular applicator. A RCB experimental design was used with 4 replicates; plots were 4 rows wide by 50 ft long. Treatments were evaluated by comparing: plant stand counts per l/1000th of an acre and injury ratings based on a 0 to 6 scale where 0 = no thripinjured leaf and 6 = 100 percent injured leaves. In addition, thrips control was evaluated by collecting 5 unopened quadrifoliate leaves per plot on 1 May, 6 Jun, 13 Jun, 20 Jun and 28 Jun. Unopened leaves were placed in vials of alcohol and returned to the laboratory where adult and larval thrips were separated and counted under a dissecting microscope. Yields were based on digging, combining, drying and weighing peanuts from 2 rows of each plot. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and LSD procedures.

This article is about the social image of women in the family found in the short story Ku Tunggu Kau Di Jakarta by K. Usman. It is one of the titles of short stories found in the collection of short stories called Menari Di Atas Air. The storyboard was analysed using feminist literary criticisms. Studies have shown that a female figure named Mawarni was treated as a child and as a wife in the family. As a child, Mawarni was hurt from childhood until marriage he was an obedient child, he always did what his parents wanted him to do. However, after marrying Jumeno, his father considered him a rebellious child. He was actually a child who tried to muster up the courage to express his wishes. She wanted to join her husband who lived in Jakarta. After saying good-bye three times and still not letting her parents leave, she made her own decision. She chose to go to Jakarta after her husband. As a wife, she also wanted to experience the freedom of life far away from her parents. He left the house that his parents had given him.

Full textAbstract:
We study the set similarity join problem , which retrieves all pairs of similar sets from two collections of sets for a given distance function. Existing exact solutions employ a signature-based filter-verification framework: If two sets are similar, they must have at least one signature in common, otherwise they can be pruned safely. We observe that the choice of the signature scheme has a significant impact on the performance. Unfortunately, choosing a good signature scheme is hard because the performance heavily depends on the characteristics of the underlying dataset. To address this problem, we propose a hybrid signature composition that leverages the most selective portion of each signature scheme. Sets with an unselective primary signature are detected, and the signatures are replaced with a more selective secondary signature. We propose a generic framework called TwoL and a cost model to balance the computational overhead and the selectivity of the signature schemes. We implement our framework with two complementary signature schemes for Jaccard similarity and Hamming distance, resulting in effective two-level hybrid indexes that join datasets with diverse characteristics efficiently. TwoL consistently outperforms state-of-the-art set similarity joins on a benchmark with 13 datasets that cover a wide range of data characteristics.

Background:Survival in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) has improved substantially in the last fifty years, but Australian data and studies with a control population are scarce.Objectives:The aim of this study was to compare the all-cause mortality rate between patients with AAV and matched controls in Western Australia.Methods:A retrospective population-based cohort study conducted using the Western Australia Health Data Linkage System (WADLS) for patients with a diagnostic code for AAV (International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10-AM M30.1, M31.3 and M31.7). We included 240 patients with AAV (mean age 57.37 ± 16.69, 48.8% males) who had a hospital admission or emergency department visit between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2014 and 4406 controls matched for age and sex. Death details were obtained from the WA Death registry. Mortality rates per 1000 person-years (MR) for AAV patients and controls were compared by mortality rate ratios (MRRs) with 95% CI. Kaplan Meijer survival estimates were analyzed by log-rank test.Results:During a mean follow-up of 6.58 years (3.37, 11.25) 83 incident AAV patients (34.6%) died, giving a mortality rate of 48.13 per 1000 person-years (95% CI 38.33, 59.66). This was 82% higher overall than in controls (MRR 1.82, 95% CI 1.46, 2.26, P < 0.0001), while the MRR for males with AAV was 2.28 (95% CI 1.46, 2.26; P < 0.0001) and for females 1.43 (95% CI 1.01, 2.02; P = 0.0267). Survival estimates at one (90.5%) and five years (75%) were significantly lower in AAV patients than controls.Conclusion:Over the last fifteen years, the mortality risk for AAV patients remains significantly increased compared with matched controls and more so for male than female AAV patients. Together with the reduced one- and five-year survival rate, this indicates the need for further improvements in initial disease management in order to reduce the risk of death in AAV.TableMortality rates (MR) per 100 patient years and Mortality rate ratio (MRR) with 95% CI in patients with AAV and controlsAAVControlDeathsPersonyearsMR(95% CI)DeathsPersonyearsMR(95% CI)MRR(95% CI)All83172448.1(38.3, 59.6)12194606926.4(25.0, 27.9)1.82 (1.46, 2.26)Male4978962.1(45.9 82.0)6902529528.2(25.2, 29.3)2.28 (1.72, 3.02)Female3493536.3(25.1, 50.7)5292077325.4 (23.3, 27.7)1.43 (1.01, 2.02)Figure.Kaplan Meyer Survival curves for AAV patients and controlsAcknowledgments:The authors thank the Data Custodians of the Hospital Morbidity Data Collection (HMDC), Emergency Department Data Collection (EDDC), the State Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, the WA Electoral Commission, and the staff at Data Linkage Branch at the Western Australian Department of Health for their assistance in provision of data.

This paper is dedicated to the generations of students who honored me by their willingness to join their hearts and minds with mine, and to my wife who taught all of us that it is heart, rather than mind, that makes the world go ’round. The paper showcases a highly personalized style of research characterized by intense human involvement and a minimum of material resources, and exemplifies the notion that “less is more.” The technical content of the paper is a collection of themewise-related pieces of research, all of which have to do with fluid flows which do not follow the contour of the bounding wall(s) and with the related heat transfer ramifications. Two classes of such flows are considered. In one, the fluid is acted on by forces directed normal to the wall, causing lift-off. The other non-wall-adhering class of flows to be considered is separated flows.

Full textAbstract:
To process a large volume of data, modern data management systems use a collection of machines connected through a network. This paper proposes frameworks and algorithms for processing distributed joins—a compute- and communication-intensive workload in modern data-intensive systems. By exploiting multiple processing cores within the individual machines, we implement a system to process database joins that parallelizes computation within each node, pipelines the computation with communication, parallelizes the communication by allowing multiple simultaneous data transfers (send/receive). Our experimental results show that using only four threads per node the framework achieves a 3.5x gains in intra-node performance while compared with a single-threaded counterpart. Moreover, with the join processing workload the cluster-wide performance (and speedup) is observed to be dictated by the intra-node computational loads; this property brings a near-linear speedup with increasing nodes in the system, a feature much desired in modern large-scale data processing system.

This study aims at suggesting a shared medium for all of the Omani government sectors. All governments increasingly use modern information technology (IT) to support their operation. In recent years, the main effort is investing into improving the quality and efficiency of service delivery, mainly through different e-government initiatives. E-Portal offers a wide variety of possibilities for delivering public services in new ways. One of the possible solutions, which has recently become a popular development trend of e-government officials, are E-portals, which not only join but also integrate services in the competence of different public institutions into one single window or entry point(Fan and Yang, 2015), accessible via the internet. The study is based on interviews and an online survey for data collection. The results show in figure #1 that there is an urgent need for a shared point to the services offered by the Omani government. This study promotes the foundation of integrated access to all the government institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses George Berkeley’s metaphysical account of the Creation in his work Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous (1713). As we know from Berkeley’s correspondence, his detailed attempt to show that his immaterialist philosophy is compatible with the Mosaic description of the Creation was occasioned by an objection from the wife of his friend Sir John Percival. According to Berkeley’s philosophy, only minds and ideas exist. Physical things such as books and trees are mere collections of ideas in human minds. No thing can exist unless there is a mind to perceive it. Yet the Mosaic story states that many things were created and existed before humans came into being. Lady Percival pointed out that Berkeley’s view makes it hard to understand how things could be created if there were no human beings around to perceive them. In response, Berkeley offered a sophisticated metaphysical construct in which the creation of the physical world is interpreted as God’s decree to produce certain kinds of ideas in potential perceivers. The paper aims to show how Berkeley’s response to Lady Percival’s objection reflects the complicated relationship between philosophy and revealed religion in the early 18th century. Berkeley’s commitment to biblical truth sets significant limits to his philosophical speculation.

Full textAbstract:
After retiring from a successful diplomatic career in 1966, Sir John Richmond (1909-90) and his wife Diana (1914-97) settled in Durham, where he had accepted a lectureship in Modern Near East History at the University’s School of Oriental Studies. Following the Six-Day War in June 1967, the Richmonds became increasingly concerned at the suffering of Palestinians living in the occupied territories and the strong media bias prevalent at that time. They were instrumental in founding the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding (CAABU) and over the next few years devoted themselves to campaigning on behalf of Palestinians. In addition to monitoring and criticising the secular newspapers, the Richmonds—who were both converts to Catholicism—took a close interest in the leading Catholic papers: The Tablet, The Catholic Herald and The Universe. They engaged in extensive correspondence with their editors—both on the newspaper pages and in private—as well as involving a wider circle of influential Catholic writers and clergy. This article, drawing heavily from the Richmond Papers held at Exeter University’s Special Collections, examines the motives and methods of the Richmonds’ campaign, and attempts to assess whether or not their efforts achieved their aim of changing attitudes.

Statistical process control is a collection of valuable tools for detecting alteration in a process. It has wide application in many areas field and other fields where variation is being monitored. The variation may be a natural cause variation or a particular cause variation. Statistical process control deals with the monitoring process to detect disturbances in the process. These disturbances may be from the process mean or variance. This study proposes efficient charts for detecting early shifts in dispersion parameters by applying the Fast Initial Response feature. We propose and compare the performance of different cumulative sum (CUSUM)control charts for phase II monitoring of location based on mean and median. The (CUSUM) control chart, which is a method of data analysis based on John Tukey's principles control chart (TCC), is used to compare the proposed charts with their existing counterparts is used to evaluate new charts to existing charts using performance measures such as average run length, the standard deviation of run length, additional quadratic loss, relative average run length, and performance comparison . The proposed charts detect early shifts in the process dispersion faster and have better overall. This article is a similar effort to design an improved charting structure in the form of mixed or using Tukey -CUSUM chart together, to show the process control chart., and drawing the Average Run Length ARL value.

Full textAbstract:
Although TikTok has been downloaded 2.6 billion times and is widely used around the world, cultural organizations have been slow to join the trend. The few museums that use the app have had contrasting approaches to their content creation. This study employs a case study methodology to examine the use of TikTok by the Uffizi Gallery (Florence) and the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) through a visual content analysis of their posts. Considering theories of learning and teaching in the museum, as well as of connectivism, the central guiding questions are: how are museums using TikTok? In what ways do these short-form videos connect visitors with their collections? What are the implications for museum education? The findings from this study reveal that museums use either expository and didactic teaching practices on TikTok or performative TikTok practices, which include collaboration with youth. The study has implications for museum educators who wish to use TikTok as an educational tool.

Full textAbstract:
This study contemplates the establishment, development and organization of the Sturmabteilung (SA) strike units in Liberec, the capital of the Sudetenland. Based on archival sources and periodicals, it provides a general overview of the people who decided to join the SA, what their training consisted of, and how wide was the range of activities typical for strike units. As political soldiers, members of the SA fully supported the NSDAP and participated in political events that were closely linked to National Socialism. However, their activities in collections, public works of all kinds or their own sports activities cannot be overlooked. In conclusion, the study deals with the deployment of SA members as the part of the Wehrmacht and in the rear, where they participated in the training of German men for war, until the formation of the militia, which included not only the last in the homeland SA-men, but also all their material.
