Abstract:

Visual artists, designers, composers, photographers, poets, and choreographers were vital participants in the Bennington School of the Dance, which ran on the Bennington College campus in Bennington, Vermont, from 1934–1942 with one year, 1939, spent at Mills College in California. Collaborations were an integral component of the school, occurring between faculty and staff members as well as between students and faculty/staff. Of particular importance were the collaborations between musicians (including Louis Horst, Gregory Tucker, Norman Lloyd, and Alex North) and choreographers (including Martha Graham, Hanya Holm, Doris Humphrey, and Charles Weidman). These collaborations influenced the direction of American modern dance, which was establishing itself with new breath as a form that could express American life and traditions without necessarily drawing upon European composers to do so.

Abstract:

This article was constructed from the analysis of ninety-nine productions of the National Institute of Educational Cinema (INCE), Brazil, between 1936 and 1945. I chose this historical cut because of the vast production of films that occurred in the period that, not for is compatible with the great state investment in education and political propaganda that marked the Estado Novo. For the greater understanding of the nature of the cinematographic narratives, appear in the text aspects of the creation of the Institute analyzed in the light of the administrative management of the Vargas government. The debates and circulation of ideas regarding the use of cinema in the service of education are also part of the present study, as well as the emphasis on the methodological necessity of categorizing the ninety - nine narratives analyzed, in order to map their themes and approaches. It is emphasized that the aim of the systematization was to understand the variety and richness of those productions in order to solve doubts about the nature of INCE and its attempts. In the course of this article I will deal with some of these specific films, since, through them, it was possible to identify indications of the attempts made by the Brazilian State, influenced by the education of the masses.ResumoO artigo que segue foi construído a partir da análise de noventa e nove produções do Instituto Nacional de Cinema Educativo (INCE), compreendidas entre 1936 até 1945. Optei por esse recorte histórico em virtude da vasta produção de filmes ocorrida no período que, não por acaso, é compatível com o grande investimento estatal em educação e propaganda política que marcaram o Estado Novo. Para a maior compreensão da natureza das narrativas cinematográficas do órgão, constam no texto aspectos da criação do Instituto analisados à luz da gestão administrativa do governo Vargas. Os debates e circulação de ideias a respeito do emprego do cinema a serviço da educação, também fazem parte do presente estudo, bem como o destaque à necessidade metodológica de categorização das noventa e nove narrativas analisadas, com o intuito de viabilizar a pesquisa, mapeando temas e abordagens. Ressalta-se que o objetivo da sistematização foi compreender a variedade e riqueza daquelas produções com o intuito de sanar dúvidas sobre a natureza do INCE e seus intentos.ResumenEl artículo fue construido a partir del análisis de noventa y nueve producciones del Instituto Nacional de Cine Educativo (INCE), Brasil, comprendidas entre 1936 hasta 1945.

Abstract:

Abstract. Ralph B. Peck (1912–2008), graduate and doctor of philosophy in civil engineering (1934 and 1937 respectively) from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, was one of the major contributors to the development of geotechnics in the twentieth century. Born in Winnipeg (Manitoba) as an American national, he was influenced from childhood by the world of civil engineering through his father, Orwin K. Peck, who was a civil engineer, mainly as a structural engineer in the railway sector. In the absence of job offers as a structural engineer, Ralph Peck arrived at Harvard University in 1938 to attend the soil mechanics courses taught by Arthur Casagrande, which guided Peck's professional career towards geotechnics. In addition to Casagrande, Peck had the opportunity to meet and work with other very important people related to geotechnics: Albert E. Cummings, Laurits Bjerrum, Alec W. Skempton and especially Karl Terzaghi, with whom he established a great friendship, in addition to providing support, professional advice and performing important work, such as the Chicago Subway Works. Peck actively dedicated himself to consulting work, which led him to visit 44 states within the United States and 28 countries on five continents. In addition, he also participated in research work where he was asked and was a committed lecturer at the University of Illinois, where he was a professor for 32 years. The objective of this paper is to analyse, through Peck's biography, his contribution to the field of geotechnics based on his research, teaching and consultancy work, and through the influence of Peck on other important people in the field, such as Karl Terzaghi.

Abstract:

The technological history of the building of the Welland ship canal (1913-1932) is well recorded with photographs, documents, maps and plans in various archives. On the other hand, the social history of this saga is harder for the reader to discover because the engineers, contractors, and labourers have left little trace of their experiences “on the ground.” Fortunately, a diary kept by the engineer in charge, Alexander J. Grant, has come to life. Covering the longest period of construction, it chronicles the day-to-day problems of a hard-working, intelligent professional -- but also offers glimpses into the emotional and social life of the man. It will be a valuable source for a future biographer of this remarkable engineer.

Abstract:

Abstract Hurricane Alex was an extremely rare hurricane event, the first North Atlantic hurricane to form in January since 1938. Alex developed from an extratropical low pressure system that formed over the western North Atlantic basin, and then underwent tropical transition after moving to the eastern basin. It subsequently underwent anomalous extratropical transition (ET) just north of the Azores Islands. We examine the factors affecting Alex’s structural evolution and the predictability of that evolution. Potential scenarios of structural development are identified from a 51-member forecast ensemble from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Ensemble Prediction System (ECMWF-EPS), initialized at 0000 UTC 10 January 2016. The EPS forecasts are clustered using a regression mixture model based on the storm’s path through the cyclone phase space. Composite maps constructed from these clusters are used to investigate the role of synoptic-scale features on the evolving structure of Hurricane Alex as it interacted with the midlatitude flow. Results suggest that the crucial factor affecting this interplay was the behavior of a large extratropical cyclone and its associated cold front and likely warm conveyor belt upstream of Alex; the intensity of these structures determined whether Alex underwent a typical cold-core ET (as observed) or a warm-seclusion ET. The clustering and compositing methodology proposed not only provides a nuanced analysis of the ensemble forecast variability, helping forecasters to analyze the predictability of future complex tropical–midlatitude interactions, but also presents a method to investigate probable causes of different processes occurring in cyclones.

Abstract:

In his book, The End of Policing, Alex S. Vitale, professor of sociology and coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project of Brooklyn College, immerses the reader into the world of critical policing studies with his comprehensive distillation of the current issues related to policing in America. Broadly, this is a book about economic, social, and political injustices and how this trifecta manifests itself in the various aspects of policing. The book begins its initial argument by proposing that the most commonly enacted methods of reform (more training, body-worn cameras, and community policing programs) have not and will not “reduce the burden or increase the justness of policing” (222).

Abstract:

Alexander Robertus Todd (Alex to his friends), was born in October 1907 in Cathcart, to the south of Glasgow. His father, Alexander Todd, of southern Scottish descent, was at first a clerk in the Glasgow Subway Railway Company and later its Secretary; subsequently he was the Managing Director of the Drapery and Furnishing Co–operative Society Ltd in Glasgow. He was ambitious to better himself and his family and although his formal teaching had ended at thirteen he held a strong regard for education and was determined, as was his wife Jane (née Lowry) that it should not be denied to their children. As their affluence increased they moved to the village of Clarkston, whence Alex had to trudge one and a half miles each day to the public school in Cathcart. One should recall that this was during wartime: life was hard and boots were of poor quality. At the age of eleven he passed the entrance examination to Allan Glen's school, the Glasgow High School of Science in the centre of the city. Among the teachers was Robert Gillespie, who taught chemistry and fostered Alex's growing interest in that subject. This gave him the impetus, after passing the Higher Leaving Certificate examination in 1924, to enter the University of Glasgow to read for an honours degree in chemistry. Once there, he was recognized by his teachers as a highly talented student, taking the James Black Medal and the Roger Muirhead Prize in his first year, which also gave him a scholarship for the rest of his course. Alex graduated BSc with first class honours in 1928 and was awarded a Carnegie Research Scholarship of €100 a year to work with Professor T.S. Patterson. He and his predecessor, G.G. Henderson, F.R.S., had strong interests in alchemy and the history of chemistry. The latter subject was even compulsory in the final year. Alex was interested in this and, much later in life, spoke and wrote knowledgeably on several aspects of the history of organic chemistry. Patterson's research interest was optical rotatory dispersion and, although Todd's first two papers were published jointly with Patterson in 1929 (1, 2)*, it was clear that a subject in which theory and practice made little contact was not for him. With encouragement from Patterson, Alex transferred to the University of Frankfurt to work in the laboratory of W. Borsche.

Abstract:

Robert Alexy has for many years been a prominent analyst of the role of principles in legal argumentation, and an equally prominent defender of the rationality of balancing and proportionality modes of legal decision-making. But although Alexy's defense of proportionality and balancing against charges by Jürgen Habermas and Justice Antonin Scalia that balancing is essentially an irrational process is sound, Alexy in the process is too quick to collapse the important differences between the process of balancing competing principles and the process of interpreting a canonical written text. Although both can be and are frequently rational, rationality is not the same as external constraint, and the ability of canonical texts to provide a degree of external constraint on legal decision-making that cannot be provided by open-ended principles is a difference that should not be lost in the well-aimed efforts to demonstrate that both can be rational and both have important places in legal argumentation and decision-making.

Abstract:

Ian Ritchie AO, BA, MA, MEng, PhD, ScD, FTSE, FRACI, FAIMM; scientist, engineer, teacher and humanist, brought fresh understanding and relevance to the relationships between metals and fluids through his work on metal oxidation, electrochemistry and hydrometallurgy. Passionate about education, society and the environment, he constantly sought new ways to interest young people in science and its role in the future wellbeing of human society and the fragile Earth. He served the community with energy and dedication as a valued advisor to government, industry and academia. He contributed much to the establishment of air quality standards in Western Australia, and is credited with preventing the dismantling of the WA Government Chemical Laboratories and steering them to rebirth as the ChemCentre. He was the founding CEO of the AJ Parker CRC for Hydrometallurgy, which became the world's foremost centre for hydrometallurgical research under his inspirational leadership. Ian was a kind and humble man with huge talent who was always ready to share his wisdom. He was a passionate and prolific scientist, but his greatest joy came from his family—Ann, the love of his life, and his three wonderful children, Kathy, Andrew and Alex. Driven by a deep sense of fairness, he railed against injustice and stupidity wherever he saw it. All who knew him will miss his ready wit, awesome erudition and endless creativity, but the imprint of his contribution and influence will never fade. He was inducted to theWestern Australian Science Hall of Fame in 2016.

Abstract:

This article deals with the biography of the elite Jewish-German sprinter, sports writer and left-wing political activist Alex Natan, „the fastest Jew in Germany“ (Alfred Flechtheim) during the 1920s. Hailing from an assimilated family of the Berlin Jewish-German middle class, Natan was for most of his active career a member of the bürgerlich sport movement, running for SC Charlottenburg Berlin. He achieved his greatest athletic success as a member of the club’s world-record equalling 4x100-meter relay squad in 1929. In addition to Natan’s athletic achievements, the article pays particular attention to his career as a left-wing sports journalist; his participation in the anti-Nazi resistance of civil servants in the Reich Vice Chancellery in 1933/34; his emigration to Britain in 1933; his four-year internment during World War II; the resumption of his journalistic career in the postwar period; and his support for the 1972 Munich Olympics. By focusing on his confrontations with Carl Diem and Karl Ritter von Halt, the article also engages with Natan’s vocal opposition to the rehabilitation after 1945 of sport functionaries who had collaborated with the Nazi regime.

Abstract:

Alexander (‘Alec’) Walter Merrison was born in Wood Green, London, on 20 March 1924. He was the only child of Henry Walter Merrison, a fitter's mate, who rose to be a service manager in the local Gas Board and a respected Chairman of the Tottenham Group of Hospitals, and of Violet Henrietta Merrison ( née Mortimer) the daughter of an Ipswich family. Alec attended Tottenham Grammar School, then the Grammar School, Enfield, where he took the Higher School Certificate in physics, chemistry and mathematics. He became Captain of the school and is remembered as a fine scholar with a pleasant manner. His qualities of leadership were already evident at a very young age. He was also a choirboy at All Hallows Church, Wood Green, where his lifelong love of music was first developed. ;In 1944 he graduated in physics at King's College, London, when he was just 20 years old, researching radio wave propagation, after which he was ‘placed’ on wartime radar at the Signals Research Development Establishment at Christchurch, the only Englishman and civilian in a group of 26 engineers of the Polish Army in exile. Two years later he requested a transfer to the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell to participate in research of a more interesting and challenging nature. There he came under the tutelage of O.R. Frisch (F.R.S. 1948) and J.D. (later Sir John) Cockcroft, F.R.S., who were the leading research scientists in nuclear physics. At that time Harwell was the breeding ground for a generation of British physicists; Alec clearly relished this new environment, helping to equip an electron accelerator to produce short pulses of neutrons. His first published papers described how the new technique could be used to study the interaction of neutrons with matter. This was his first experience of the use of particle accelerators as powerful probes to investigate nuclear matter. The technique of neutron scattering from bulk matter is now an important discipline in its own right, and the genesis of the current world-leading facility (ISIS) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory can be traced back to these pioneering experiments in which Alec played a major role.

Abstract:

O presente texto é uma investigação sobre a Assembleia Legislativa do Paraná no período da República Velha. Tem como objetivo compreender a organização interna da ALEP, a sua composição e a atuação de seus principais deputados, uma vez que se configurou como instituição fundamental para a efetivação e manutenção dos interesses da classe dominante no Paraná. Para a compreensão do objeto, são utilizadas as perspectivas teóricas de Pierre Bourdieu, os conceitos de campo e subcampo, jogo, e habitus. Nesse sentido, as ações dos parlamentares, através das discussões e da natureza dos projetos aprovados, refletem um jogo político peculiar e em conformidade com as determinações do poder executivo, isso porque a ALEP também legitimava as práticas políticas dos governadores, que estavam aglutinados em duas gerações específicas. Quanto aos dados, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir de documentos variados, tais como: os Anais da Assembleia Legislativa, as Constituições, as mensagens governamentais e diversos jornais.

Abstract:

Alec Westley Skempton is widely regarded as having been one of the leading developers of the subject of soil mechanics. In Britain he was pre-eminent in the subject throughout his professional life, while on the world stage he was outshone only by the founding father of the subject, Karl Terzaghi, who was some 30 years his senior. Soil mechanics was virtually non-existent as an engineering discipline at the time of Skempton's own engineering education in the 1930s, but long before he retired in 1981, as Professor of Civil Engineering at Imperial College, London, the subject was, along with structural and hydraulic engineering, one of the three main branches of civil engineering.

Abstract:

Aleš Ušeničnik je bil učitelj filozofije na Teološki fakulteti v Ljubljani od njene ustanovitve do konca druge svetovne vojne. Pred ustanovitvijo Teološke fakultete je že od leta 1897 poučeval teologijo in filozofijo na Škofijskem bogoslovnem učilišču v Ljubljani. Po koncu prve svetovne vojne je sodeloval pri ustanovitvi Univerze v Ljubljani in v njenem okviru tudi Teološke fakultete. Leta 1919 je bil med prvimi učitelji, ki jih je kralj imenoval na položaj na Teološki fakulteti. Do upokojitve v letu 1938 je na Teološki fakulteti in Univerzi poleg učiteljskega dela večkrat opravljal tudi vodstvene službe. Z dolgoletnim učiteljskim delom in pomembnimi upravnimi službami se je pomembno zapisal v zgodovino slovenskega visokega šolstva in ljubljanske univerze. Prispevek je razdeljen na dva dela: najprej predstavljamo Ušeničnikovo izobraževanje in nato poučevanje na bogoslovnem učilišču. V drugem delu razprave pa obravnavamo njegovo delovanje na Teološki fakulteti: okoliščine njegovega imenovanja in učiteljsko delo. Pri predstavitvi učiteljskega dela opisujemo tudi vsebinsko zasnovo filozofskega seminarja in predavanj iz filozofije.

Abstract:

Wallace Sargent was an astronomer who used large telescopes to great effect. He concentrated on outstanding problems concerning both the origin of the elements and the cosmological evolution of primordial gas clouds. Despite a mainly theoretical education he became an expert spectroscopist and this enabled him to demonstrate that most helium was not formed in stars but was primordial, formed in the Big Bang. This helped to determine the photon : baryon ratio that emerged from it. He played a significant part in the search for the supermassive black holes that were predicted to be in the centres of many galaxies, as is now established. He is most famous for his systematic work with Alec Boksenberg FRS on the intervening hydrogen clouds seen in absorption in the spectra of distant quasars. From their work it appears that most of the 4% of the Universe (by mass) that is now considered to be in normal atoms or ions has indeed been detected, although it is seen at considerable look-back times.

Abstract:

In 1950, the Norwegian Lutheran Mission (NLM) began holistic mission work, including health work in Yirga Alem in Sidama in Southern Ethiopia. The hospital, which had served as a military hospital during the Italian war (1936-41), became a mission hospital. This paper presents some historical developments of a government hospital managed by a mission organization, the story of its medical work, and how the NLM functioned under varying political regimes and societal environments in Southern Ethiopia. At the same time, societal changes occurring in Norway with the weakening of mission organizations and the Norwegian government’s policy that influenced external financial support for the hospital are presented and discussed. The key message of the paper is that it is possible under challenging external politics for a mission organization to collaborate with government entities even with difficult regimes. In the area of Yirga Alem Hospital, this was done without compromising the basics of mission, but rather readjusting comparative strategies while ensuring sustainability and local ownership. The uniqueness of this work is that it explores a mission, i.e., the NLM, which developed health work within the context of a nationally owned health service. Moreover, this fruitful collaboration persists until this day and previous missionaries still work to strengthen public health programs that target such major areas as tuberculosis and HIV control, maternal health, childcare, and nutrition.

Abstract:

The article aims to shed some light on the growing tendency of Slovene native speakers towards borrowing English personal names when naming new-born children. Some historical overview of the borrowing of English personal names into Slovene is given, starting with lists compiled from 1931 onwards, established from the data supplied by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS). The phenomenon of borrowing personal names is discussed from the point of view of pragmatic borrowing as advocated by G. Andersen (2014), taking into account the traditional distinction between necessary loans on the one hand and luxury loans on the other. The article illustrates how in the case of personal names, ‘exoticisms’ (e.g. Alex, Liam, Kevin, Kim, Ian, Vanessa, Adrian, Ella, Emma, Patrick, Nick, Alan, Lucas, listed among the most popular 200 first names in the 2001–2013 period) compete with name forms that have been adapted and nativised long ago (e.g. Patrik), or are currently being introduced for the first time into Slovene. In these recent borrowings, the foreign forms undergo some adaptation, but at the same time, unlike other anglicisms, show the tendency to resist complete adaptation, particularly in terms of spelling and pronunciation. Such pragmatically borrowed items carry significant sociolinguistic signals about the borrowers’ attitudes, and these are briefly commented on.

Abstract:

Mogens Rostgård Nissen: Alex Walter, — “… the German official who rendered the largest services of all to Denmark during the war.” Alex Walter was head of the German government committee, which during the occupation of Denmark negotiated trade agreements with the corresponding Danish government committee. That is why he had great influence on the economic side of occupation policy, which the German occupying power carried out in Denmark during the war. Walter had a broad knowledge of Danish economy and Danish conditions in general, because since 1932 he had negotiated trade agreements with top Danish officials. At the same time, he was well-known and respected in Denmark, and that was important for the agreements he assisted in concluding during the occupation. Under his leadership, the German occupying power followed a traditional trade policy, which was focused on practical issues and concrete results. It was a policy, which objectively was for the common good of Denmark and Germany. Walter was a very high-level official in the thoroughly Nazified Ministry of Nutrition and Agriculture. His immediate superior, Herbert Backe, was responsible for German food planning, and he had a decisive influence on the Nazi occupation policy for all of Europe, including the exploitation policy, which took place in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. But Denmark followed an entirely different economic track, which was characterized by negotiations and cooperation, and it was very much Walter, who became responsible for planning and implementing this economic policy. Among his negotiation partners in Denmark, Walter was perceived as a reasonable and sensible man, with whom one could negotiate and rely on. There was a clear understanding that Walter had intervened several times during political crises — among other things when the Danish government stood down in August 1943; during the general strike in the summer of 1944 and in connection with the deportation of the police in the autumn of 1944. But he also had a dark Nazi side to him, precisely because he was linked to Backe and the Ministry of Nutrition and Agriculture. After the war, he was interned due to the fact that as a senior official, he had been a member of the Nazi party and held the rank of SS Sturmbannführer. That is why he was only finally acquitted and stripped of his Nazi status in October 1948, a few months before he died.

Sir Alec Westley Skempton (4 June 1914–9 August 2001) was an English civil engineer and Professor of Soil Mechanics at Imperial College London from 1955 and Head of Department until he retired in 1981. He is often referred to as one of the founding fathers of soil mechanics in the UK and around the world and as one of the most important engineers of the 20th century. Skempton established the soil mechanics course at Imperial College London and not only helped to drive forward understanding of soil behaviours through his research and consultancy work, but also was a reference and inspiration for several engineering generations he taught. He was knighted at the New Year's Honours in 2000 for his services as engineer. He was also a notable contributor to the history of British civil engineering.

Abstract:

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de apresentar a Assembleia Legislativa do Paraná a partir das estruturas de parentesco que marcam sua história desde a primeira legislatura republicana, em 1891. Para tanto, se torna relevante a perspectiva teórico-metodológica da conexão família e política para a compreensão das relações de poder e da dinâmica das instituições no estado do Paraná. Tal mapeamento identificou que 12 famílias possuem significativa presença na ALEP, visto que o tempo de linhagem política de certos grupos demarcam mais de um século. A pesquisa valeu-se da análise prosopográfica e genealógica de deputados que tiveram mandatos entre os anos 1935 a 1962. Dentre esses, muitos sobrenomes estenderam seu poder político pelo fato de familiares continuarem acumulando mandatos parlamentares ao longo do tempo, bem por como estarem presentes desde as atividades iniciais do referido parlamento.

Abstract:

O papel do Plano de Avenidas (Francisco Prestes Maia, 1930), e dos instrumentos normativos que garantiram sua implantacao, deve ser explorado para alem das decisoes viarias que orientaram os vetores de crescimento da cidade de Sao Paulo. A forma da cidade que se reconstruiu com o alargamento das novas avenidas foi definida por intencoes academicas que respeitavam a matriz do quarteirao como peca integral; simultaneamente, a legislacao urbanistica incorporou a verticalizacao como horizonte, fazendo coexistir duas logicas ate entao incompativeis. A arquitetura moderna em Sao Paulo contou, portanto, com o incentivo oficial em seus primeiros exemplos, concentrados nas zonas de expansao do Centro, territorio ordenado por uma ocupacao tradicional de quarteirao. E neste cenario de miscigenacao que foram gestados alguns dos mais significativos edificios da arquitetura contemporanea paulistana: desvendar os criterios normativos que os forjaram e a tarefa assumida por este trabalho.

Abstract:

Abstract I first met René when the IUPAC General Assembly came to Brisbane Australia in 2001. IUPAC was not an organization I (then) knew much about, but I found myself confronted by Paul De Bièvre demanding that I join a task group on metrological traceability. At the time I would not have called myself a metrologist in chemistry (MiC) or in any other field. The great minds assembled for the project were Paul De Bièvre, René Dybkaer, Ales Fajgelj, and me. I had no idea that our task would take ten years (finally published as De Bièvre, P.; Dybkaer, R.; Fajgelj, A.; Hibbert, D. B.: Metrological traceability of measurement results in chemistry: Concepts and implementation (IUPAC Technical report) Pure Appl. Chem. 2011, 83, 1873-1935), and that during the time I would come to form strong friendships with my comrades in the “Gang of Four.” Paul is no longer with us and now René has left the stage.
