At the Shaanxi Observatory, regular observations with the prototype of the photoelectric astrolabe PAI have been carried out since 1973. Three photoelectric astrolabes of type Mark II (PAII) were mounted at the Shanghai, Beijing and Yunnan Observatories in 1974, 1976 and 1978, respectively. Details of the instruments and the results of the observation were published previously. (Photoelectric Astrolabe Developing Group 1973 and 1975, Second Group, First Divsion Shaanxi Observatory 1974, Astrolabe Data Analysis Group, First Division, Shaanxi Observatory 1975, Wang, L-j 1979, Astrolabe Group, First Division, Shanghai Observatory 1976, Wang, L-z and Luo 1979, Lu and Luo 1979). Time and latitude determinations by these sets of photoelectric astrolabes form a part in the international cooperation of BIH, IPMS as well as in the short campaign of project MERIT.

Full textAbstract:
In the past fifteen years, the MESA Bulletin has published numerous reports about research facilities in various Middle East countries, including several on Arab states (Zartman 1970; Williams 1970; Brown, Rollman, and Waterbury 1970; Coury 1971; Raccagni and Simmons 1972; Hudson 1972; Bechtold 1973, Zghal and Karoui 1973; Miller 1973; Hale and Hale 1975; Rassam 1976; Mandaville 1979; Anderson 1980; Reinhart 1980; Clancy-Smith 1984; Crystal 1984). None of these, however, has focused on doing survey research in the region. In part, this seemed to indicate a lack of interest in, and/or feasibility for, carrying out this type of research. In fact, when in 1973 MESA members were asked to share with their colleagues the data from surveys they had carried out, only twenty-one individuals responded, and in only nine cases were there survey data gathered in Arab states (“A Preliminary Listing …” 1974). Since then, the situation has improved somewhat. Thus, Palmer et al. (1982) have compiled an analytical index detailing more than 350 studies using survey research techniques in different Arab countries. Also in 1983, an international conference on the evaluation and application of survey research in the Arab world was held at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Study and Conference Center in Bellagio, Italy. The Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation sponsored the conference, which was attended by twenty-four individuals from the United States and seven Arab countries. A book based on the papers and proceedings of the conference will be published soon, edited by Tessler et al. (forthcoming).

Full textAbstract:
The second survey of legal education was published in July 1975 and was based largely on information gathered during the academic session 1973/74. At that time, the decision was taken to present the material in tabular form in order that the report could provide a framework for the future publication, at suitable intervals, of supplements containing appropriate up-dated tables. In pursuance of this objective, supplements were published in 1978 and 1981 with statistics drawn largely from sessions 1976/77 and 1980/81 respectively.Developments since 1981 now justify the undertaking of a more thorough review with the object of producing a third survey report.

Carter, Joseph G., and George R. Clark. "Classification and Phylogenetic Significance of Molluscan Shell Microstructure." Notes for a Short Course: Studies in Geology 13 (1985): 50–71. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0271164800001093.
Full textAbstract:
Like most classifications of molluscan shell microstructure published during the past 25 years (e.g., MacClintock, 1967; Kobayashi, 1964, 1971; Taylor, Kennedy and Hall, 1969, 1973; Grégoire, 1972a), the present one is based largely on Bøggild's (1930) monographic work, redefined from a modern perspective of combined light and scanning electron microscopy. However, this is the first attempt to integrate shell microstructure terminology for mollusks with that employed by students of bryozoan and brachiopod shell microstructure (e.g., Williams, 1968a,b, 1970, 1973; Williams and Wright, 1970; Armstrong 1968, 1969; Sandberg, 1971, 1977; Brunton, 1972; MacKinnon, 1974, 1977; MacKinnon and Williams, 1974; Iwata, 1981, 1982). An integration of nomenclatorial schemes is desirable for purposes of interphylum comparison, and is presently needed because there is considerable overlap and inconsistency in the application of microstructural terminology even within single molluscan classes. The present synthesis of shell microstructure nomenclature is possible primarily because of the extensive data base of invertebrate shell mineralogy, microstructure and especially ultrastructure published in more than 300 references in the past 15 years. To these data, the authors have contributed original information of shell mineralogy and microstructure for scores of Recent and fossil mollusks, brachiopods and bryozoans, with a clear emphasis on bivalved mollusks. Many inadequately described microstructure terms have been reanalyzed during the course of this study, either by examining species cited in the literature, or by using closely related species. Perhaps because they are better studied, but probably for other reasons as well, the diversity of molluscan shell microstructures is considerably greater than that of brachiopods and bryozoans combined (Carter, 1979). Consequently, most of the present nomenclature is based on mollusks, and only three of the major microstructural arrangements described in this guide (crossed bladed, semi-nacreous and semi-foliated) were known first in brachiopods or bryozoans and later recognized in molluscs.

The species-rich and widespread genusTaraxacumF. H. Wiggers, 1780 (Asteraceae subfamily Cichorioideae) is one of the most taxonomically complex plant genera in the world, mainly due to its combination of different sexual and asexual reproduction strategies. Polyploidy is usually confined to apomictic microspecies, varying from 3x to 6x (rarely 10x). In this study, we focused on Taraxacum sect.Taraxacum(= T.sect.Ruderalia;T.officinalegroup), i.e., the largest group within the genus. We counted chromosome numbers and measured the DNA content for species sampled in Central Europe, mainly in Czechia.

Full textAbstract:
Although the discovering of a complete Palestinian Targum in the Codex Vatican Neofiti 1 (N) erroneously marked in the spine as ‘ Targum Onkelos ’ was not of archaeological but merely archival nature, it was an event of major importance in Aramaic studies. Its announcement by the discoverer, Alejandro Diez Macho, a former student of P. E. Kahle, in Estudios Biblicos, 16, 1956, 446 ff., and Sefarad, 17, 1957, 119 ff., and especially the impressive voluminous publication by the same scholar, Neophyti 1 Targum Palestinense MS de la Biblioteca Vaticana (Madrid-Barcelona, I, Genesis, 1968; II, Exodo, 1970; III, Levitico 1971; IV, Numeros, 1974; v, Deuteronomio, 1978), provided with detailed scholarly introductions to each volume as well as translations of the edited text into Spanish (by the editor), French (by R. Le Déaut) and English (by M. McNamara and M. Maher), aroused great and justified enthusiasm among scholars. Meanwhile, a facsimile edition in 140 copies was published by Makor in Jerusalem (1970), which helped to clear up certain problems in Macho's edition (esp. the omission of the Hebrew lemmata at the beginning of each verse and errors obliterated by the copyists) deplored by David M. Golomb in his recently published thesis, A grammar of Targum Neofiti (p. 1 f.).

FROM THE PRESS HISTORY OF THE LARGEST INDUSTRIAL PLANTS IN WROCŁAW AND THE SURROUNDING AREA 1946–1990The author presents a historical overview of company newspapers published in Wrocław and two nearby towns — Brzeg Dolny and Jelcz-Laskowice — where large industrial plants employing thousands of people living in the Lower Silesian capital were located. The article consists of two parts. In the first the author quotes the definition of company press, discusses its function and on the basis of figures from Ruch Wydawniczy w Liczbach [Polish Publishing in Figures] from 1968–1992 presents the publication frequency and geography of such publications with regard to the whole country. Part two is devoted to company newspapers published in the region referred to in the title. Drawing on an analysis of archive material kept in the State Archives in Wrocław, especially documents produced by the Regional Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party in 1971–1978, the author examines the party nature of these publications and the requirements imposed on their editorial teams. She analyses the following publications in chronological order: Pafawag 1946–1990, Ku Nowemu 1954–1990, Żeglarz Odrzański 1954–1981, Życie Załogi 1956–1981, Nasze Problemy 1969–1990, Intermoda 1972–1981, Elwro 1973–1981, Polar 1976–1981, as well as one from Brzeg Dolny Głos Rokity, 1954–1981 and Jelcz-Laskowice Głos Jelcza 1962–2001. She points to formal features like format, size and circulation; editorial features, especially changes in the graphic layout of the headpiece; lists members of the editorial teams and briefly describes the profile of each newspaper in question.

Full textAbstract:
Julius Thomsen first published his account of myotonia (an unusual muscle stiffness disorder) in himself and his family in 1876. By November 1971, Peter Becker was already famous for his eponymous Becker muscular dystrophy when he came to the Second International Congress on Muscle Diseases, in Perth. There, he presented an extensive study of myotonia, recognising a recessively inherited disease (now known as Becker’s recessive generalised myotonia), distinct from Thomsen’s myotonia congenita and clearly distinguishable from Steinert’s myotonic dystrophy, both dominantly inherited. Peter Becker, Shirley Bryant, Reinhardt Rüdel and Allan Bretag all met in Perth, with mutual interests in myotonia. They subsequently maintained contact while Bretag undertook research in Germany in 1972–1973 and 1977. Later, in 1978, Bretag worked with Bryant’s myotonic goats in Cincinnati. His research on Thomsen’s and Becker’s myotonias has since progressed to confirmation of Bryant’s chloride hypothesis through a molecular genetic study of the muscle chloride channel, CLC -1. This has culminated in several collaborative papers with German colleagues and, finally, in a mechanistic description of how the CLC -1 channel is gated.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on thousands of pages of documents from the closed Cuban archives, from U.S. archives, and from the former East German archives, as well as published materials, this article explores the role that Cuba played in Africa after its dramatic dispatch of 36,000 soldiers to Angola in late 1975 and the first few months of 1976. The article focuses on the two most important aspects of Cuba's policy in Africa after 1976: its intervention in Ethiopia in 1977–1978 and its continuing presence in Angola, a presence that continued until 1991. The article analyzes Cuba's motivations, the extent to which Fidel Castro's policy was a function of Soviet demands, and the effect of Cuba's policy in Africa on relations with the United States. The concluding section offers an assessment of the costs and benefits of Cuba's policy in Africa.

The light and spectrum of the magnetic, chemically peculiar Be star σ Orionis E (=HD 37479) vary with the rotational period of 1.19081 d because of the effects of inhomogeneities in the photosphere and circumstellar matter (Walborn and Hesser 1976, Landstreet and Borra 1978, Hunger 1974). In this paper, we describe a model for the distribution of the Hα emitting material in the magnetosphere based on analysis of 24 high quality spectra covering the entire rotation period and published data from other sources.

Full textAbstract:
Gaston Salvatore was born in Valparaiso, Chile, in 1941, of an upper middle class Chilean mother and an Italian father. After completing a degree in law, he went to Berlin in 1965, where he studied sociology, and together with Rudi Dutschke became one of the leaders of the student protest movement. He was arrested and obliged to leave Germany in 1969, returning briefly to Chile. In the early ‘seventies he went to Rome, where he worked with Michelangelo Antonioni. One of the results of that collaboration was his novel. Der Kaiser von China, published in 1979. He began his work in German with a cycle of poems, Der langwierige Weg in die Wohnung Natascha Ungeheurs, set to music by Hans Werner Henze, in 1970. His German theatre pieces include Büchners Tod (1972), Fossilien (1975), Freibrief (1977), Tauroggen (1978), Stalin (1985), and Lektionen der Finsternis (1989). A novel, Der Mann mit der Trommel, was published in 1974, and Salvatore's most recent work in that form, Waldemar Müller – ein deutsches Schicksal, appeared in 1982. Gaston Salvatore is co-editor with Hans Magnus Enzensberger of the Trans-Atlantik review, and also writes for Stern, Der Spiegel, and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. He now lives in Venice. The following interview with Salvatore by Alessandro Tinterri, one of the directors of the Actors’ Museum of Genova, took place in Venice in 1989, following two Italian productions of Salvatore's Stalin in a single season – one by the Compagnia del Collettivo di Parma, with Gigi Dall' Aglio and Michele De Marchi, and another by the Teatro di Sardegna, with Raf Vallone. The original German production opened in Berlin, at the Schiller-Theater on 31 October 1987, and was followed by several other productions, including one directed by Salvatore himself at Karlsruhe. In 1988 George Tabori staged the play at the Burgtheater in Vienna, with a woman, Angelica Damrose, in the title role. Alessandro Tinterri sets out in this interview to examine the background to Gaston Salvatore's work and to trace the multi-cultural pathways that have led to his present standing in the European, and especially German, theatre.

The reception of the thought of Louis Althusser in Mexico took place between 1960 and 1970. The first to assimilate his theory and argue with her was the marxist thinker Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez, who dedicated several essays and a fundamental book: Science and Revolution (Marxism of Althusser) (1978), besides always be a benchmark of constant controversy in most of his books where poses a different interpretation of the marxism of Althusser. Also in the decade of the seventies and eighties, a brilliant student and disciple of Sánchez Vázquez: Carlos Pereyra, published several texts influenced by Althusser thought that led him to critically assimilate many of his thesis, but also to question them when considered insufficient. The aim of this paper is to assess the althusserian influence on the work of Pereyra, particularly in his essays: Politic and Violence (1974), Settings: Theory and History (1979) and The Subject of History (1984).

The Decennial Supplement on Occupational Mortality published in 1978 commented on mortality differences between the social classes (Chapter 8) using data from the 1971 Census and the deaths in the period 1970–72. The analysis was based on life tables prepared for the individual social classes from which derived indices, for example expectations of life, were calculated. It is proposed here to repeat this exercise using the data for males recently published in microfiche form by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys—OPCS. This time, the Decennial Supplement has omitted to provide an analysis and commentary and we propose to make some attempt to remedy this deficiency. In our analysis, the Decennial Supplement data have been supplemented by data from the OPCS Longitudinal Study.

Full textAbstract:
Trigeminated at more or less the same time as the First of September Revolution and the appearance of the first published report from The Society for Libyan Studies, the excavation phase of the extramural Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone project at Cyrene ran until 1978 when it was stopped in order to begin work on final publication. The intervening years have seen a degree of progress, and this retrospective vicenary issue of Libyan Studies provides a welcome opportunity to take stock of what has been and is going on. The journal's readers will already have some familiarity with the broad outlines of the sanctuary project, since summary articles have been published in an earlier issue (White 1978) and elsewhere (Vickers and Reynolds 1972; Kane 1979; Humphrey 1980; White 1981). In addition reviews of the three published volumes of the final report (White 1984; Schaus 1985; Lowenstam et al. 1987) have appeared here with exemplary promptitude (Lloyd 1985; Boardman 1986; Fulford 1988), as well as externally (Brown 1986; Tomlinson 1986; Cook 1987). The present article's bibliographical citations list what has been written about the sanctuary, but omit the series of preliminary reports in Libya Antiqua (between Vols. 8 and 16) and American Journal of Archaeology (Vols. 78 and 80), whose inclusion would be redundant, as would be any attempt to minute the contents of the reviewed final study volumes. Instead my present intention is to give a short report on work in progress and to summarise the results of what has already been published in separate studies outside the framework of the final publication.

Of the great many minor yet significant composers who lived around the time of Haydn and Mozart and who deserve to be better known, Karl von Ordonez, a Viennese composer born two years after Haydn, has been the subject of much recent scholarly interest. Landon (1959) introduced this composer to the modern musical world, he has since figured in numerous books, monographs and articles (most notably Landon 1962a and 1978, Kirkendale 1966, Apfel 1972, and Larsen 1978), and he has been the subject of several recent studies (Brown 1974a, 1974b, 1978, 1981a, 1981b, and Young 1980b). However, no detailed biographical study has yet been published, and it is the purpose of the present article to meet this need.

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

In this paper, I construct a simple monetary model of the Chinese economy in the period of 1958–78. While, in previous researches, the demand for currency and a reaction function of monetary policy in China are generally investigated separately, in this paper both equations are combined so that the interactions between the household behavior of holding currency and the reaction of monetary policy makers can be investigated simultaneously. In constructing the model, I acknowledge some limitations that a few restricted assumptions are made and that I do not provide the rigorous theoretical proof. Despite these limitations, this simple monetary model exhibits relatively good performance from the ex-post historical simulation with the published data from Statistical Yearbook of China.

Science Education is a multidisciplinary field of study with roots about three centuries ago. Researches in this field were published for the first time in a scientific journal with School Science and Mathematics, which started in 1901. The number of scientific journals in Science Education has increased in parallel with the increase in the number of related research. The published literature is sometimes about trending topics. In some other cases, they offer novelty and new paradigms. Last 50 years of Science Education are shaped by various topics. Hence, these different issues are being published in scientific journals. At the end of the 70s, studies on constructivism, meaningful learning, misconception, conceptual learning (Driver, & Easley, 1978; Driver, 1983; Driver, & Oldham, 1986; von Glasersfeld, 1984; Ausubel, Novak, & Hanesian, 1978; Novak, 1979 & 1990, Novak, & Gowin, 1984; Novak, & Musonda, 1991) began to come forward. Conferences are being held especially on misconception. Many articles have been published and continue to be published on the topic. Starting with the second half of 80s, studies on PCK, which were first described by Shulman, began to surface in science education journals in the field of teacher training (Shulman, 1986; Usak, 2009, Usak, Ozden, & Eilks, 2011; Usak, Ozden, & Saglam, 2011).

Alfred Jules Ayer (1910– ) was born in London and educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. He attended sessions of the logical positivist ‘Vienna Circle’ in 1932, and taught at Oxford from 1933 until joining the Army in 1940. His Language, Truth and Logic was published in 1936, and The Foundations of Empirical Knowledge in 1940. After war service he returned to Oxford in 1945, and became Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic at University College, London, the following year. The Problem of Knowledge was published in 1956. In 1959 he returned to Oxord as Wykeham Professor of Logic, a post he held until his retirement in 1977. He had been made a Fellow of the British Academy in 1952, and was knighted in 1970. Among his publications after he returned to Oxford are The Concept of a Person (1963), Philosophical Essays (1965), The Origins of Pragmatism (1968), Metaphysics and Common Sense (1969), Russell and Moore: the Analytical Heritage (1971), Probability and Evidence (1972), The Central Questions of Philosophy (1973), and Philosophy in the Twentieth Century (1982).

Full textAbstract:
The organic content of the shells of molluscs can represent a significant fraction of the total organic content (Bernard, 1974) but it is often neglected in calculations of energy budgets in these animals. This may be in part due to uncertainty about the true values, since published estimates of the organic content of shells show quite wide variation. The species examined and also the provenance of the selected samples contribute to this variation as does also the method of measurement. The methods principally used have been by ignition at various temperatures from 400 to 550°C for various durations between 2 and 36 h (see Shumway & Newell, 1984; Jørgensen, 1976; Mohlenberg & Kiorboe, 1981; Vahl, 1981; Shafee, 1979; Price et al, 1976) or by acid extraction using different extraction proceedures (see Ivell, 1979; Dame, 1972; Horn, 1986; Griffiths & King, 1979). To calculate the energy content of the organic component some investigators have used the Hughes (1970) coefficient of 5.037 cal mg-1, while others have used Paine's (1971) protein coefficient of 2.39 J g-1. Wilbur & Saleuddin (1983) have called attention to the need for more study of these analyses. We present here the results of a study of the shell organic content of three species of molluscs, using two methods for the measurement and giving data on biochemical composition and energy value.

An audit was undertaken of research by psychiatrists in Australia and New Zealand published in an accepted scientific journal during the seven-year period, 1978-84. The key analyses were limited to first authors only and identified 89 responsible for 372 scientific publications. Despite an increase in psychiatrists in the region there was no evidence of any increased research output during the seven years. While the distribution of researchers across the region was consistent with the overall distribution of psychiatrists, relatively strong and consistent differences in measures of quality and quantity of research output were demonstrated between geographical areas. The audit examined published research by topic, by publishing journal, and by the affiliation of the researcher. Several measures of research quality and productivity were internally and externally validated. Profiles are given of the average researcher and of those distinguished in terms of high productivity and high citation rates.

The papers presents the soil surface subsidence rate of drained (1967–1971) peat deposit in 1978–2015 years. The very high differences of the rate was observed on relatively small area (15 ha). The subsidence rate was observed in the range from 0.06 to 1.56 cm·year–1. The percentage loss of the peat deposit thickness in the years 1978– –2015 in the analyzed area was varied and did not depend on the initial thickness of the peat deposit. It oscillated between 2 and approx. 44%. The obtained measured data were able to perform the verification of selected published in the literature empirical equations to predict the subsidence rate of soil surface of drained many years ago lowland peatlands.

This work reports on a study of 1,200 specimens segregated into 9 species, 4 of which are new to science. One name is relegated to synonymy. The relationships within the subgenus and with other subgenera of Andrena are briefly discussed. The subgenus Hesperandrena was recognized and described by Timberlake in Lanham 1949 (p. 208) to include two previously described species, Andrena escondida Cockerell and Andrena baeriae Timberlake. These two species have in common a propodeum which, Timberlake described as having the dorsal surface, “... broad, gently curved and inclined from base to apex, without definite truncation, the lateral margins distinctly carinate and convexly arcuate.” This is the main character separating this subgenus (Fig. 4) from other subgenera of Andrena except that in the males of Hesperandrena the lateral margins of the propodeum are not carinate. Other characters are given in the description of the subgenus below. The species of this subgenus are very similar to one another and difficult to tell apart. The species are known only from California and Baja California. The reader is referred to earlier sections of this revision (LaBerge 1967, 1969, 1971, 1973, 1977, 1980, 1986, 1987, 1989; LaBerge and Bouseman 1970, 1987; LaBerge and Ribble 1972, 1975; Bouseman and LaBerge 1979; Thorp 1969; Donovan 1977) for details of morphology and a more complete bibliography on the genus Andrena. No new terms have been introduced and the bibliography presented here includes only references cited. Published locality and floral records are included in the sections at the end of each species account.

Full textAbstract:
Since 1968 the number of inscriptions newly found in Libya has been limited by the limited scale of excavations; but there has been some compensation from the results of surface surveys and from chance discoveries, especially in rural areas. Although the individual items are not necessarily stirring, they form, when taken together, a valuable base for study of the rural populations, at least within the city territories or near to the Roman forts.There has been, indeed, a steady stream of articles on inscriptions, or using inscriptions. Together with some new texts, they have presented many new readings and interpretations of ones previously published. In addition four small corpora have appeared: of the inscriptions of Apollonia (Reynolds 1976, 293–333), of Berenice (Reynolds 1977, 233–254), of the Jewish inhabitants of Cyrenaica (Lüderitz 1983), and of the Neo-Punic texts of Tripolitania known by 1967 (Levi della Vida and Amadasi Guzzo 1987).Another feature of the twenty years has been the intermittent publication of bibliographies of work in progress (Garbini 1974 (Neo-Punic), Gasperini and Paci 1975, Paci 1979 (Cyrenaica and Tripolitania), Reynolds 1972, 1980a (Cyrenaica), Le Glay 1974 (Tripolitania)). These, together with the running records produced approximately every year (L'Année Epigraphique, L'Année Philologique, Bulletin Epigraphique (in REG), SEG), obviate the need to do more here than note what seems to me to show best where the epigraphic contribution is leading us. The selection is inevitably much influenced by my current interests; it is not at all intended to suggest that what is omitted is lacking in importance.

Full textAbstract:
China is an emerging superpower. Its economical strength contrasts the lack of free speech and other liberties crucial for a prosperous economy. The democratic opposition is almost in its demise and society has little interest in politics. However, it hasn’t always been like that. This paper shows how the democratic movement emerged and it has developed since the mourning over the death of prime minister Zhou Enlai in 1976 during the Qing Ming, or the Tomb Sweeping festival. It also focuses on the intellectual turmoil of the Wall of Democracy in 1978, where some of the most important dissidents were published. This Chinese Hyde Park was officially closed in 1979 as the wave of repressions hit the dissidents. That event became a solid foundation for the future democratic opposition.

New Theatre Quarterly has provided extensive coverage of the work of Odin Teatret, based since 1966 at Holstebro in Denmark, as also of the approach and ideas of its director, Eugenio Barba, who first wrote for us on ‘The Nature of Dramaturgy’ in NTQ1 (1985). Most recently, we documented Odin's twelfth production, Talabot, through David Shoemaker's analysis in NTQ24 (1990). Here, we offer an actor's experience of the creation of a one-person production – uniting personal circumstances, experiences in training, and exploratory research in the process which led towards the creation of Judith, based on the apocryphal story of the woman who seduced an enemy general in order to murder him. Its performer, Roberta Carreri, joined Odin Teatret in 1974, since when she has also performed in The Book of Dance (1974–80), Come! and the Day Will Be Ours (1976–80), Anabasis (1977–84), The Million (1978–84), Brecht's Ashes (1980–84), and The Gospel According to Oxyrhincus (1985–87). Her evocation here of the process which led to the creation of Judith is based on an interview with Exe Christoffersen, who also provides a detailed scenario of the production in performance. This feature forms part of Exe Christoffersen's Skuespillerens Vandring, published in Denmark by Klim in 1989. It has been excerpted and translated for NTQ by Gordi Roberts.

In recent decades, several epidemiological studies have been published on acute otitis media (AOM), indicating that the occurrence of AOM is increasing. However, the comparison between the surveys is complicated and biased by several factors, e.g. variable study demography and design and dissimilar diagnostic criteria. The present study was performed with an identical set-up in 1978–9 and 1994–5 to find out potential changes in the occurrence of AOM. All the attacks of AOM among children under 10 years diagnosed by a physician during the 12-month periods 1 June, 1978 to 31 May 1979 and 1 June 1994 to 31 May 1995 were registered retrospectively in two Finnish municipalities. The incidence rate (total number of AOM attacks per 100 child years) was 19 (95% CI 18–21) in 1978–9 and 32 (95% CI 30–34) in 1994–5. The increase in the occurrence of AOM was 68% (95% CI 53–79%, P<0·001).

AbstractDuring the excavations at Abu Salabikh between 1975 and 1989 cuneiform tablets of Early Dynastic date were found in a variety of contexts. Those from 1975–76 were published in Biggs and Postgate 1978, and were added to the sequence of Inscriptions from Abu Salabikh as numbers 516–32. Here all the remaining pieces from later seasons are now published, extending the sequence from IAS 533 to 556. In the first part of the article the distribution of cuneiform tablets across the site as a whole is considered, along with the question of what this may imply for the function of the buildings in which they were found. The second part of the article is an edition of the newly published pieces, and this is followed by an index to the proper nouns and words attested in all the administrative texts from the site.

The typewritten “Reporting Collection of Poems by the Group of Irkutsk Poets for 1921” is published for the first time in its entirety. This example of early Soviet literary “samizdat” represents the works of twelve members of the local literary association “The Barque of Poets” (Barka poetov): Sergei Arkadievich Alyakrinsky (1889–1938), Artur Ancharov (whose real name and fate remain unknown), Viktor Mikhailovich Blumenfeld (1897–1978), Alexander Ivanovich Venediktov (1896–1970), Mikhail Nikolaevich Gorin-Volkov, who wrote under the pseudonym “Imray” (1894–1942), Alexander Davidovich Meiselman (1900–1938), Nina Mikhailovna Podgorichany-Petrovich (1889–1964), Igor Kronidovich Slavnin (1898– 1925), Elpidifor Innokentyevich Titov (1896–1938), Leonid Dmitrievich Tyazhelov (1887–1936), Nina Pavlovna Shastina (1898–1980) and Nina Petrovna Komarova (1892 – after 1943), who wrote under the pseudonyms “Nibu” and “Khabias”. In addition to the “Reporting Collection...” itself, some accompanying materials are also published (a questionnaire for members of “The Barque...” and several poems on separate sheets). All these materials of the early Soviet “samizdat” were kept in private archive of Irkutsk professor Boleslav Sergeevich Shostakovich (1945–2015), and after his death they were transferred to the State Archives of the Irkutsk Region. The publication is provided with bio-bibliographic references about the authors of the “Reporting Collection...”, both brief (in the cases of such well-known poets as Igor Slavnin, Elpidifor Titov or Nina Khabias) and, if necessary, expanded.

With two large volumes, the Derde and Vierde Stuk (third and fourth volumes), containing 1794 pages, Drs R. C. Kwantes has brought to an end, the ZWO funded collection of colonial documents on the indigenous nationalist movement in the former Dutch colony of Indonesia. After the appearance of the first tome, dealing with the nationalist movement up to the year 1917 and compiled in 1967, by the now deceased Professor S. L. van der Wal, Kwantes has been responsible for the coverage of the period 1917–23 (published in 1975), the period 1923–28 (published in 1978), and the present two volumes, here under review, one for 1928–33 (published in 1981) and the other for 1933–42 (published in 1982). All these volumes bear the hallmarks of meticulous professional polish and careful selection, and anyone even fleetingly familiar with the documentary opulence of the Dutch colonial archives has all the reason to deeply appreciate Kwantes' editing labours of the past few years. Moreover, in annotations, bibliographical references, the listing of detailed person- and subject-indexes, and of source-data against their origin, together with lengthy 34 pages in the Derde, and 33 in the Vierde Stuk content-abstracts in English, Kwantes did surpass the skills of his deceased predecessor, thus adding an extra degree of distinction and flavour to the entire multi-work collection he compiled.

Воспоминания канадского композитора Брюса Матера представляют собой уникальное свидетельство о последних годах жизни и творчества выдающегося русского композитора Ивана Вышнеградского (1893–1979), одного из основоположников европейской микротоновой музыки. Под пером Матера личность Вышнеградского предстает во всей своей полноте: как композитора, теоретика, педагога, подвижника. Особую ценность тексту воспоминаний придают письма Вышнеградского, в которых запечатлен стиль речи и мышления композитора. Одно[1]временно Матер короткими, но точными штрихами передает дух эпохи и нюансы художественной жизни Франции и Канады 1970-х годов. На русском языке «Воспоминания» Брюса Матера публикуются впервые. “My memories of Ivan Wyschnegradsky” by Canadian composer Bruce Mather is one of the unique testimonies about the last years of life and work (1974–1978) of the outstanding Russian composer, one of the founders of European microtonal music. Under the pen of Mather, Wyschnegradsky’s personality appears in its entirety: as a composer, theorist, teacher, and ascetic. Wyschnegradsky’s letters, which capture the composer’s style of speech and thinking, add special value to the text of his memoirs. At the same time, Mather conveys the spirit of the time and the nuances of the artistic life of France and Canada in the 1970s in short but precise strokes. In Russian, “Memoirs” by Bruce Mather is published for the first time.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe two most conspicuous phenomena reported on dying languages are (a) structural (and stylistic) simplifications and (b) dramatic increases of variability due to incongruent and idiosyncratic “change.” The phonological data from two Athapaskan languages, as well as other published data (Dorian 1973, 1978; Hill 1978; Schmidt 1985a), demonstrate that underlying the apparent degeneration of the system there is an orderly progression which is viewed as a retarded process of language acquisition. Different semispeakers reach different levels of maturity due to different degrees of retardation, consequently increasing variability and complexity for the total system, whereas each idiolect undergoes systematic developmental stages albeit retarded, decreasing eventually structural (and stylistic) profusion. Therefore, a dying language mirrors the successive stages of ontogenesis. (Historical linguistics, language acquisition, language death, language contact, bilingualism, sociolinguistics)

Although norms for this test were published by Salkind in 1978, a comprehensive review of the literature on cognitive tempo covering 1979 through 1984 showed only 8% of the reviewed studies used the norms. The problems associated with the failure to use norms, most notably, the inability to generalize findings from one sample to another, are covered.

G. Davis, looked at some of the problems of presenting Fo in the USA. Now, Trumpets and Raspberries looks set to repeat the success of its predecessors at London's Phoenix Theatre. What sustains Dario Fo's unique ability to create political comedy which is at once hard-hitting yet widely accessible? As he suggests in the first of these articles (which originally appeared in Italian as an introduction to a volume of his plays), the answer lies in part in Fo's very rejection of the label ‘political’. Here, he analyzes some of the features by which he would rather distinguish his work as popular theatre, notably its traditional dependence on situation rather than character. In the second article, published in Italian in 1978, Fo examines the way in which this kind of theatre also fuses the elements of past culture with a critical examination of the present. Tony Mitchell, who translated both pieces, has just published a study of Fo. People's Court Jester, in the Methuen Theatrefiles series.

Purpose This paper aims to explore, for the first time over a long period of time, the autobiographical memory of Israeli veterans of the 1948 War, pertaining to the 1948 Palestinian exodus that led to the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem. Does this memory include the Zionist narrative (i.e. willing flight of the Palestinian refugees) or a critical narrative (i.e. willing flight and expulsion)? One of the primary sources to influence the collective memory of conflicts is the autobiographical memory. This memory is also one of the primary sources for research of the past. Thus, autobiographical memory is of importance. Design/methodology/approach Methodologically, this is done through an analysis of all 1948 veterans’ memoirs published between 1949 and 2004. Interviews were also conducted with various veterans, to understand the dynamics of their memoir publication. Findings Empirical findings suggest that during the first period (1949-1968), this memory was exclusively Zionist; during the second (1969-1978), it became slightly critical; and during the third (1979-2004), the critical tendency became more prevalent. Onward, the nine empirical causes for the presentation of exodus the way it was presented are discussed. Theoretical findings relate, inter alia, to the importance of micro factors in shaping the autobiographical memory, assembles seven such theoretical factors, suggests that these factors can influence in two ways (promoting collective memory change or inhibiting it), and that their impact can change over time. Originality/value Taken together, the paper contributes empirical and theoretical findings that are based on a solid and wide scope research.

Viruses, first crystallized in the 1930's, were for many years the only exemplars of large macromolecular assemblies accessible to x-ray crystallography. The talk will outline the most interesting biological questions these structures posed, review some of the early technical challenges, and describe some of the specific history that led to the first published virus crystal structure in 1978.

Full textAbstract:
The analysis of litter quantity, litter decomposition and its pattern of nutrient release is important for understanding nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Plant growth and maintenance are partly met through nutrient cycling (O'Connell & Sankaran 1997) which is dominated by litter production and decomposition. Litter fall is a major process for transferring nutrients from above-ground vegetation to soils (Vitousek & Sanford 1986), while decomposition of litter releases nutrients (Maclean & Wein 1978). The rate at which nutrients are recycled influences the net primary productivity of a forest. Knowledge of these processes from tropical rain forests is relatively poor (O'Connell & Sankaran 1997), and in particular there are no known published studies on nutrient cycling from lowland tropical forests in Papua New Guinea. The few studies from Papua New Guinea are confined to the mid-montane forest zone (Edwards 1977, Edwards & Grubb 1982, Enright 1979, Lawong et al. 1993).

Full textAbstract:
In 1978 Merrill Swain and I had the opportunity to review theory and practice in the emerging communicative orientaitons to second language teaching and testing. The immediate outcomes of that review were published by the Ontario Ministry of Education in the form of a theoretical position paper (Canale and Swain 1979; see also Canale and Swain 1980) and a bank of sample items and techniques for measuring communication skills in French as a second language (Ontario Ministry of Education 1980). Although the limitations and problems in various communicative approaches have become increasingly evident since 1978, communicative competence has nonetheless become one of the most productive, influential, and complex paradigms in applied linguistics. Nowhere is this more true than in the relatively isolated area of measurement of communicative competence. It is thus appropriate to review activity in this area over the past decade.

"20TH CENTURY PUBLICATIONS ON COST ACCOUNTING BY SPANISH AUTHORS PREVIOUS TO THE STANDARDIZATION ACT (1900–1978)." Accounting Historians Journal 36, no. 2 (2009): 139–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.2308/0148-4184.36.2.139.
Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to describe and explain the beginning and evolution of cost accounting in Spain through the examination of accounting texts. In this evolution, three periods are distinguished: the late 19th century, the first half of the 20th century, and 1951–1978. In 1978, the official standardization of Spanish cost accounting occurred. Cost accounting first appeared in Spanish texts at the start of the 20th century. However, in 19th century accounting treatises can be found references to some aspects of cost accounting to which the paper refers. The traditional orientation of authors in the second period clearly reflects a monistic recording pattern, i.e., that cost accounting in combination with general accounting forms a homogeneous whole, with full-cost allocation on the basis of historical costs. The small differences found among these authors relate to a large extent to the fixed-costs allocation. This period corresponds to the introduction into Spain of the Central European school of accounting thought represented by Pedersen, Schmalenbach, Palle Hansen, and, above all, by Schneider. This influence intensified from 1951 onward. In the second half of the 20th century, German thought shared influence with American thought represented in the works of Kester, Horngren, Lang, Lawrence, Neuner, etc. The French Accounting Plan (General Chart of Accounts), published in 1957, also had an obvious influence on Spanish accounting scholars of this time. This influence is clearly shown in the Spanish standardization of cost accounting published in 1978 as part of the first Plan General de Contabilidad (General Accounting Plan) passed in 1973.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a study of the literature of chemoinformatics, updating and building upon an analogous bibliometric investigation that was published in 2008. Data on outputs in the field, and citations to those outputs, were obtained by means of topic searches of the Web of Science Core Collection. The searches demonstrate that chemoinformatics is by now a well-defined sub-discipline of chemistry, and one that forms an essential part of the chemical educational curriculum. There are three core journals for the subject: The Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, the Journal of Cheminformatics, and Molecular Informatics, and, having established itself, chemoinformatics is now starting to export knowledge to disciplines outside of chemistry.

Full textAbstract:
Only ten years ago a symposium on the special class of stars we now call Luminous Blue Variables (LBV’s) would not have been possible. At that time we were only just beginning to recognize the similarities among the stars we call S Doradus variables, P Cygni stars, and Hubble-Sandage variables, and their importance in the evolution of the most massive stars.About a decade ago it became clear that the observed H-R diagram has an upper luminosity limit and thatηCar, P Cyg, and S Dor are all near the temperature-dependent boundary for hot stars. With hindsight the luminosity boundary can be seen in an H-R diagram for hot stars published by Hutchings (1976), but the full temperature range is necessary to show that it really exists. When more data became available in 1977—1978, including the evolved and cool supergiants, the upper luminosity limit became obvious; and we proposed that an instability causingrapidandunsteadymass loss (i.e., LBV’s) is the basic reason for this boundary (Humphreys and Davidson 1979). We emphasized the temperature-dependence of the boundary for the most luminous hot stars, the lack of cooler counterparts at similar luminosities, the nearly temperature-independent limit to the luminosities of cool hypergiants, and the critical role that objects likeηCar, P Cyg, and S Dor may play in the evolution of the most massive stars.
