Abstract:
Sarcasm is usually used by people to either tease/irritate others or simply for comic purposes. The presence of sarcasm becomes certain as it is difficult to be identified by basic sentiment analysis method. Sarcasm detection is addressed with various rule-based methods, statistical approaches, and classifiers in machine learning , most of these are introduced to identify sarcasm in text written in English as it is a popular language on the internet. Although the groundwork done on sarcasm detection on various Indian languages like Telugu is limited. Hence, this paper presents a Deep learning model based on neural networks to detect sarcasm in Telugu news headlines taken from various websites . The proposed model comprises of Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) and next a Long short-term memory(LSTM) Network which is a modified version of Recurrent neural networks (RNN) and lastly a fully connected dense layer is added to classify the sentiments into sarcastic and non-sarcastic. A pre-trained word embeddings GloVe are used in the model

Abstract:
The Internet facilitates connections between a range of Dutch actors with a stake in the energy transition, including governments, environmental organizations, media outlets and corporations. These connections tease a hyperlink network affecting public access to information on energy transition issues. Despite its societal relevance, however, the characteristics of this network remain understudied. The main goals of this study are to shed some light on the topological characteristics of the Dutch energy transition hyperlink network and reveal the main topics discussed in the network. To do so, we longitudinally collected data from the interactions between key Dutch actors with a stake in the energy transition. Then, these data were analyzed by employing a mixed-method approach, social network analysis and topic modeling. The results of the social network analyses reveal the existence of a sparse network in which few private companies and associations emerge as the most authoritative actors and brokers. Furthermore, our analyses show substantial differences among the communication agendas of the organizations of the Dutch energy transition hyperlink network; while public institutions focus on global, national and local policy issues, private companies, associations and NGOs pay much more attention to employment issues.

Abstract:
Project success is an issue of intense interest to both scholars and project management practitioners, and yet its theoretical elaboration continues to be somewhat under-developed. Responding to this gap between theory and practice, we tease out the dynamics of the design(ing) duality in relation to project management. Our argument is informed by the contrasting management theories of Taylor (design) and Follett (designing), and it is illustrated by drawing on two different experiences of a large Initial Training Network project funded by the European Commission. We suggest that a comprehensive appreciation of project success requires an interweaving of the substantive and processual understandings reflected in the design(ing) duality.

Abstract:
Abstract Under the directorship of Clemente Onelli (1904-1924), the Jardín Zoológico de Buenos Aires became a major public attraction and gained an international reputation for its innovations in animal keeping and as a supplier of Latin American fauna. It was a hybrid institution that combined the tasks of public instruction, zoological research, and acclimatization of useful animals, and also served as a symbol of national pride. Despite its seemingly peripheral geographical location, the institution was firmly integrated in the global network of zoological gardens. This paper utilizes a transnational perspective to tease out the numerous, multidirectional exchanges of animals and knowledge between the Jardín Zoológico de Buenos Aires and Northern metropolises.

Abstract:
Pursuing marital partners far from home can be a complicated endeavor, and the motives to travel for a companion can be a combination of pushes from one’s locality and pulls toward something new. In the Hebrew Bible, several narratives concern pursuing a partner far from home, but the motives of the person traveling have not seen much scholarly attention. In this contribution, the entangled motives are traced in three select narratives (Judg 14; Gen 24; Tob) that each represents a specific category of pursuing a partner. Samson pursues a known partner, Isaac and his family pursue an unknown partner, and Tobias unknowingly pursues a partner. These three narrative categories are explored utilizing the framework of actor-network theory to tease out the entangled human and non-human actants that affect the motives and the pursuit itself. This contribution reveals that motives are always entangled in more extensive networks, agency is distributed among various actants, and no pursuit of a companion in the Hebrew Bible is exactly like another.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 365, no. 1559 (2010): 3829–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2010.0099.

Full text
Abstract:
Linguists have traditionally represented patterns of divergence within a language family in terms of either a ‘splits’ model, corresponding to a branching family tree structure, or the wave model, resulting in a (dialect) continuum. Recent phylogenetic analyses, however, have tended to assume the former as a viable idealization also for the latter. But the contrast matters, for it typically reflects different processes in the real world: speaker populations either separated by migrations, or expanding over continuous territory. Since history often leaves a complex of both patterns within the same language family, ideally we need a single model to capture both, and tease apart the respective contributions of each. The ‘network’ type of phylogenetic method offers this, so we review recent applications to language data. Most have used lexical data, encoded as binary or multi-state characters. We look instead at continuous distance measures of divergence in phonetics. Our output networks combine branch- and continuum-like signals in ways that correspond well to known histories (illustrated for Germanic, and particularly English). We thus challenge the traditional insistence on shared innovations, setting out a new, principled explanation for why complex language histories can emerge correctly from distance measures, despite shared retentions and parallel innovations.

Abstract:
This study presents a novel analysis of social network sites as a staged performance of interpersonal ties in front of a third party, here defined as public intimacy. This concept moves away from the current focus on the presentation of self in social media to the performance of relationships. Users of social media are compared to an interactive audience in a round theater. As inner circle network members display their exclusive ties in front of ther users they may also tease them into joining the conversation. Building on studies of Simmelian ties, interactive exchange, and phatic communication the study presents six characteristics of public intimacy along with brief examples drawn from users’ experiences on Facebook and Twitter. It is concluded that by mediating the shift from dyad to triad and from triad to mass community social media do not necessarily entail a reduction in intimacy but rather a concretization of social relations. The recursive relationship between interpersonal ties and mass solidarity is sustained and reaffirmed thanks to triadic interactions of public intimacy.

Abstract:
The effects of 0-5% levels of beef plasma, egg white and potato extract as protease inhibitors of jack mackerel surimi (Trachurus murphyi) and their effects on functional properties were studied. Gel quality was evaluated measuring gel strength, deformation, rupture force, water holding capacity, color and sensory evaluation. Maximum proteolytic activity was found at 65 °C after 60 min where the gel quality was markedly deteriorated. At a level of 1% beef plasma, egg white or potato extract, pro tease inhibition of 91.9%, 82.7% and 74.4 %, respectively, was found. Beef plasma at 1% was the most effective protease inhibitor and was the most acceptable for the judges, but produced a gel with a yellow hue. SDS-electrophoresis verified the action of inhibitors in preventing degradation of high molecular weight proteins which form the gel network.

Abstract:
How do speakers tease apart a simple generic sentence (les instituteurs ne gagnent pas beaucoup d’argent “school teachers do not make much money”) and a proverb (les cordonniers sont les plus mal chaussés, “shoemakers are always the worst shod”, eng. The cobbler’s children go barefoot)? From a formal viewpoint, these two utterance types are very close. Yet, only the latter is used in fields other than shoemaking. I account for this property, which I call ‘transposability’, by means of the following hypothesis, which also applies to proverbs and semantically transparent fixed expressions: a proverb correspond to a semantic form that consisting of a few semantic features organized as a semantic network. I adopt Sowa’s (1984) formalism and represent this network as a semic molecule (Rastier, 1989). To explain the transposability of the molecule, I use a notion from Gestaltheorie, namely the ‘strong form’. A proverb is freely transposable providing it lexicalizes a strong form, the strong form being a molecule with a high degree of internal coherence. Semantically speaking, I show that this coherence is a factor of both (a) an inherent or socially normed relational architecture and (b) an articulation without rests.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis I attempt to model, that is, computationally reproduce, the natural transmission (i.e. inflectional regularities) of twenty present tense Amharic verbs (i.e. triradicals beginning with consonants) as used by the language’s speakers. I root my approach in the linguistic theory of network morphology (NM) and model it using the DATR evaluator. In Chapter 1, I provide an overview of Amharic and discuss the fidel as an abugida, the verb system’s root-and-pattern morphology, and how radicals of each lexeme interacts with prefixes and suffixes. I offer an overview of NM in Chapter 2 and DATR in Chapter 3. In both chapters I draw attention to and help interpret key terms used among scholars doing work in both fields. In Chapter 4 I set forth my full theory, along with notation, for generating the paradigms of twenty present tense Amharic verbs that follow four different patterns. Chapter 5, the final chapter, contains a summary and offers several conclusions. I provide the DATR output in the Appendix. In writing, my main hope is that this project will make a contribution, however minimal or sizeable, that might advance the field of Amharic studies in particular and (computational) linguistics in general.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the historical relationships between the professionalization of medicine and Britain's Empire across the Indian subcontinent between c. 1850-1920. That relationship is focused on through the lives and careers of Irish surgeons who, over the course of the period, enlisted in the IMS, the GoI's paramilitary medical service. As a result of tracking the networks these men occupied between Ireland and India, professional status emerges as a series of negotiations between the State and the profession, negotiations that were in turn a result of cultural values, social relations and institutional politics. Such a view of professionalization stands in distinction to the predominant narrative authored to date about our period. Within that narrative, occupations that became and maintained professional status did so through cordoning off areas of knowledge in the pursuit of financial gain and socio-political prestige. That approach has fostered assumptions about the ease of relations between States and professions. Furthermore, little has been written about how those relations were shaped, and disrupted, by the dominant polity of the time: global empires. Britain's Empire undoubtedly aided the professionalization of medicine. Our first two chapters highlight how the subjects of this thesis were drawn from a variety of social, cultural and economic backgrounds, whose differences were, to an extent, ameliorated by a growing professionalism in medicine. That professionalism was incubated by the material needs of Britain's Empire, especially in India, which triggered administrative reforms to rationalise entrance requirements to the IMS, and provide potential applicants with a seemingly sure-footed career path. However, life in India for these medical men was not as well administered. Although the GoI required their professional services, politicians and administrators were not as keen to acknowledge their professional status, except for when absolutely necessary to uphold the moral order of imperial rule.

Abstract:
Tese de mestrado em Segurança Informática, apresentada à Universidade de Lisboa, através da Faculdade de Ciências, 2013<br>O sucesso da Internet é indiscutível. No entanto, desde há muito tempo que são feitas sérias críticas à sua arquitectura. Investigadores acreditam que o principal problema dessa arquitectura reside no facto de os dispositivos de rede incorporarem funções distintas e complexas que vão além do objectivo de encaminhar pacotes, para o qual foram criados [1]. O melhor exemplo disso são os protocolos distribuídos (e complexos) de encaminhamento, que os routers executam de forma a conseguir garantir o encaminhamento de pacotes. Algumas das consequências disso são a complexidade das redes tradicionais tanto em termos de inovação como de manutenção. Como resultado, temos redes dispendiosas e pouco resilientes. De forma a resolver este problema uma arquitectura de rede diferente tem vindo a ser adoptada, tanto pela comunidade científica como pela indústria. Nestas novas redes, conhecidas como Software Defined Networks (SDN), há uma separação física entre o plano de controlo do plano de dados. Isto é, toda a lógica e estado de controlo da rede é retirada dos dispositivos de rede, para passar a ser executada num controlador logicamente centralizado que com uma visão global, lógica e coerente da rede, consegue controlar a mesma de forma dinâmica. Com esta delegação de funções para o controlador os dispositivos de rede podem dedicar-se exclusivamente à sua função essencial de encaminhar pacotes de dados. Assim sendo, os dipositivos de redes permanecem simples e mais baratos, e o controlador pode implementar funções de controlo simplificadas (e possivelmente mais eficazes) graças à visão global da rede. No entanto um modelo de programação logicamente centralizado não implica um sistema centralizado. De facto, a necessidade de garantir níveis adequados de performance, escalabilidade e resiliência, proíbem que o plano de controlo seja centralizado. Em vez disso, as redes de SDN que operam a nível de produção utilizam planos de controlo distribuídos e os arquitectos destes sistemas têm que enfrentar os trade-offs fundamentais associados a sistemas distribuídos. Nomeadamente o equilíbrio adequado entre coerência e disponibilidade do sistema. Neste trabalho nós propomos uma arquitectura de um controlador distribuído, tolerante a faltas e coerente. O elemento central desta arquitectura é uma base de dados replicada e tolerante a faltas que mantém o estado da rede coerente, de forma a garantir que as aplicações de controlo da rede, que residem no controlador, possam operar com base numa visão coerente da rede que garanta coordenação, e consequentemente simplifique o desenvolvimento das aplicações. A desvantagem desta abordagem reflecte-se no decréscimo de performance, que limita a capacidade de resposta do controlador, e também a escalabilidade do mesmo. Mesmo assumindo estas consequências, uma conclusão importante do nosso estudo é que é possível atingir os objectivos propostos (i.e., coerência forte e tolerância a faltas) e manter a performance a um nível aceitável para determinados tipo de redes. Relativamente à tolerância a faltas, numa arquitectura SDN estas podem ocorrer em três domínios diferentes: o plano de dados (falhas do equipamento de rede), o plano de controlo (falhas da ligação entre o controlador e o equipamento de rede) e, finalmente, o próprio controlador. Este último é de uma importância particular, sendo que a falha do mesmo pode perturbar a rede por inteiro (i.e., deixando de existir conectividade entre os hosts). É portanto essencial que as redes de SDN que operam a nível de produção possuam mecanismos que possam lidar com os vários tipos de faltas e garantir disponibilidade perto de 100%. O trabalho recente em SDN têm explorado a questão da coerência a níveis diferentes. Linguagens de programação como a Frenetic [2] oferecem coerência na composição de políticas de rede, conseguindo resolver incoerências nas regras de encaminhamento automaticamente. Outra linha de trabalho relacionado propõe abstracções que garantem a coerência da rede durante a alteração das tabelas de encaminhamento do equipamento. O objectivo destes dois trabalhos é garantir a coerência depois de decidida a política de encaminhamento. O Onix (um controlador de SDN muitas vezes referenciado [3]) garante um tipo de coerência diferente: uma que é importante antes da política de encaminhamento ser tomada. Este controlador oferece dois tipos de coerência na salvaguarda do estado da rede: coerência eventual, e coerência forte. O nosso trabalho utiliza apenas coerência forte, e consegue demonstrar que esta pode ser garantida com uma performance superior à garantida pelo Onix. Actualmente, os controladores de SDN distribuídos (Onix e HyperFlow [4]) utilizam modelos de distribuição não transparentes, com propriedades fracas como coerência eventual que exigem maior cuidado no desenvolvimento de aplicações de controlo de rede no controlador. Isto deve-se à ideia (do nosso ponto de vista infundada) de que propriedades como coerência forte limitam significativamente a escalabilidade do controlador. No entanto um controlador com coerência forte traduz-se num modelo de programação mais simples e transparente à distribuição do controlador. Neste trabalho nós argumentámos que é possível utilizar técnicas bem conhecidas de replicação baseadas na máquina de estados distribuída [5], para construir um controlador SDN, que não só garante tolerância a faltas e coerência forte, mas também o faz com uma performance aceitável. Neste sentido a principal contribuição desta dissertação é mostrar que uma base de dados construída com as técnicas mencionadas anteriormente (como as providenciadas pelo BFT-SMaRt [6]), e integrada com um controlador open-source existente (como o Floodlight1), consegue lidar com vários tipos de carga, provenientes de aplicações de controlo de rede, eficientemente. As contribuições principais do nosso trabalho, podem ser resumidas em: 1. A proposta de uma arquitectura de um controlador distribuído baseado nas propriedades de coerência forte e tolerância a faltas; 2. Como a arquitectura proposta é baseada numa base de dados replicada, nós realizamos um estudo da carga produzida por três aplicações na base dados. 3. Para avaliar a viabilidade da nossa arquitectura nós analisamos a capacidade do middleware de replicação para processar a carga mencionada no ponto anterior. Este estudo descobre as seguintes variáveis: (a) Quantos eventos por segundo consegue o middleware processar por segundo; (b) Qual o impacto de tempo (i.e., latência) necessário para processar tais eventos; para cada uma das aplicações mencionadas, e para cada um dos possíveis eventos de rede processados por essas aplicações. Estas duas variáveis são importantes para entender a escalabilidade e performance da arquitectura proposta. Do nosso trabalho, nomeadamente do nosso estudo da carga das aplicações (numa primeira versão da nossa integração com a base de dados) e da capacidade do middleware resultou uma publicação: Fábio Botelho, Fernando Ramos, Diego Kreutz and Alysson Bessani; On the feasibility of a consistent and fault-tolerant data store for SDNs, in Second European Workshop on Software Defined Networks, Berlin, October 2013. Entretanto, nós submetemos esta dissertação cerca de cinco meses depois desse artigo, e portanto, contém um estudo muito mais apurado e melhorado.<br>Even if traditional data networks are very successful, they exhibit considerable complexity manifested in the configuration of network devices, and development of network protocols. Researchers argue that this complexity derives from the fact that network devices are responsible for both processing control functions such as distributed routing protocols and forwarding packets. This work is motivated by the emergent network architecture of Software Defined Networks where the control functionality is removed from the network devices and delegated to a server (usually called controller) that is responsible for dynamically configuring the network devices present in the infrastructure. The controller has the advantage of logically centralizing the network state in contrast to the previous model where state was distributed across the network devices. Despite of this logical centralization, the control plane (where the controller operates) must be distributed in order to avoid being a single point of failure. However, this distribution introduces several challenges due to the heterogeneous, asynchronous, and faulty environment where the controller operates. Current distributed controllers lack transparency due to the eventual consistency properties employed in the distribution of the controller. This results in a complex programming model for the development of network control applications. This work proposes a fault-tolerant distributed controller with strong consistency properties that allows a transparent distribution of the control plane. The drawback of this approach is the increase in overhead and delay, which limits responsiveness and scalability. However, despite being fault-tolerant and strongly consistent, we show that this controller is able to provide performance results (in some cases) superior to those available in the literature.

Abstract:
This book investigates how Dr. Barnardo, the Victorian children’s philanthropist, operated as both story teller and showman, using mass media to create a globalised support network. His philanthropic ‘empire’ operated as an exceptional Victorian manifestation of promotional and branding mechanisms that are perceived as commonplace in the twentieth century. Metaphor and narrative modes normally associated with fiction such as Charles Dickens’s novels, as well as public spectacles associated with showmen such as P. T. Barnum, provide the organising principle for the book. Ultimately, however, the analysis reveals an overlapping concurrence of these three categories because, in practice, each tends to inflect the other. The book is also crucially concerned with affect, theorising how corporal responses such as excitement, shame and disgust operate in Barnardo’s figures of speech, ‘stories’ and spectacles to arouse sympathy and provoke ideological and financial support. Part One takes a long look at metaphor in order to tease out how ‘the open door’, Barnardo’s central institutional icon, operated as a multifaceted metaphor to characterize and promote his version of philanthropy in a crowded charity market. Part Two examines how Barnardo shaped perception of his brand by storytelling practices based on the ‘re-creation’ of direct, first-hand experience and feelings. Part Three considers how collective benevolence also depends upon spectacle for widespread success.

Abstract:
This book consists of analyses of thirty-three musical passages or entire short works in a variety of post-tonal styles. The works under study are taken from throughout the long twentieth century, from 1909 to the present. Within the atonal wing of modern classical music, the composers discussed here, some canonical and some not, represent a diversity of musical style, chronology, geography, gender, and race/ethnicity: Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, Alban Berg, Béla Bartók, Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Milton Babbitt, Luigi Dallapiccola, Elliott Carter, Louise Talma, Hale Smith, Elisabeth Lutyens, Ursula Mamlok, Tania León, Tan Dun, Shulamit Ran, Kaija Saariaho, Joan Tower, John Adams, Sofia Gubaidulina, Thomas Adès, Caroline Shaw, Chen Yi, and Suzanne Farrin. The approach is pedagogical, in the somewhat informal style of a classroom. Musical examples and analytical videos carry the burden of the analytical argument, with relatively little prose. For each piece, the book suggests ways of making sense of the music, using basic concepts of post-tonal theory to tease out rich networks of musical relationships and reveal something of the fascination and beauty of this challenging music.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses the Quaker impact on the early British anti-slave trade campaign and, in particular, the influence Quaker writings and networks had on the early career of Thomas Clarkson. Clarkson pioneered the abolitionists' research into the slave trade and the slave ships. It was his empirical investigations among slave captains, sailors, and slave ship rosters that teased out the hard facts and figures about life—and more important, of death—on board the slave ships. In the wake of his pioneering investigations, discussion about the slave trade switched to a detailed analysis of the data. Clarkson and subsequent abolitionists ensured that the debate about abolition was not merely a recitation of moral outrage or religious disapproval but more about the facts. And once those facts were rehearsed in public, they proved irresistible. It was the hard evidence, culled from the belly of the slave ships, that both shocked and persuaded.

Through his machinations, Moreno became a critical player in the expansion of western trade and imperialism in Asia, the trafficking of migrant workers and children in the Atlantic, the conflicts of Americans and Native Hawaiians over the fate of Hawaii, and the imperial competitions of French, British, Italian, and American governments in an important era of imperial expansion during the nineteenth century. This book teases out Moreno's enormous peculiarities and fascination as well as his significance. It examines how he repeatedly sought a role at the center of a globalizing world with gusto and had no qualms about lying or betraying others. Dragged by his uncontrollable polemical passions, the old Captain died alone, unloved by anyone and with no meaningful relations to others. With its focus on Moreno, this book illustrates some of the most puzzling cultural traits of emigrant Italian elites. Called a “carpetbagger,” “land pirate,” “extinct volcano,” among many other derogatory monikers, Celso emerges in this fascinating biography as a multifaceted, chameleon-like personality not reducible to a single epithet.

Abstract:
Jeanne Pitre Soileau vividly presents children’s voices in What the Children Said: Child Lore of South Louisiana. Including over six hundred handclaps, chants, jokes, jump-rope rhymes, cheers, taunts, and teases, this book takes the reader through a fifty-year history of child speech as it has influenced children’s lives. What the Children Said affirms that children's play in south Louisiana is acquired along a network of summer camps, schoolyards, church gatherings, and sleepovers with friends. When children travel, they obtain new games and rhymes and bring them home. The volume also reveals, in the words of the children themselves, how young people deal with racism and sexism. The children argue and outshout one another, policing their own conversations, stating their own prejudices, and vying with one another for dominion. The first transcript in the book tracks a conversation among three related boys and shows that racism is part of the family interchange. Among second-grade boys and girls at a Catholic school, another transcript presents numerous examples in which boys use insults to dominate a conversation with girls, and girls use giggles and sly comebacks to counter this aggression. Though collected in the areas of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette, Louisiana, this volume shows how south Louisiana child lore is connected to other English-speaking places: England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as the rest of the United States.

Abstract:
Archives and the Cultural Heritage The edited volume Archives and the Cultural Heritage focuses on archives as institutions and to their tense relationship with archives as material. These dynamics are discussed in respect of the past, the present, and the future. The focus lies in the mechanisms the Finnish archive institutions have utilised when taking part in forming the cultural heritage and in debating the importance of the private archives in society. Within social sciences and history from the early 1990s onwards, the effects of globalisation have been seen as a new focal point for research. Momentarily, the archives saw the same paradigm shift as the focus of the archival studies proceeded from state to society. This brought forth the notion that the values of society are reflected in the acquisition of archival material. This archival turn draws attention to the archives as entities formed by cultural practices. The volume discusses cultural heritage within Finnish archives with diverse perspectives and from various time periods. The key concepts are cultural heritage and archives – both as institution and as material. Articles review the formation of archival collections spanning from the 19th to the 21st century and highlight that the archives have never been neutral or objective actors; rather, they have always been an active process of remembering and forgetting, a matter of inclusion and exclusion. The focus is on private archives and on the choices that guided the creation of the archives and the cultural perceptions and power structures associated with them. Although private archives have considerable social and research value, and although their material complements the picture of society provided by documentary data produced by public administrations, they have only risen to the theoretical discussions in the 21st century. The authors consider what has happened before the material ends up in the archive, what happens in the archive and what can be deduced from this. It shows how archival solutions manifest themselves, how they have influenced research and how they still affect it. One of the key questions is whose past has been preserved and whose is deemed worthy of preservation. Under what conditions have the permanently preserved documents been selected and how can they be accessed? In addition, the volume pays attention to whose documents have been ignored or forgotten, as well as to the networks and power of the individuals within the archival institution and to the politics of memory. The Archives and the Cultural Heritage is an opening to a discussion on the mechanisms, practices and goals of Finnish archival activities. It challenges archival organisations to reflect on their own operating models and to make visible their own conscious or unconscious choices. It raises awareness of the formation of the Finnish documentary cultural heritage, produces new information about private archives and participates in the scientific debate on the changing significance of archives in society. The volume is related to the Academy of Finland research project “Making and Interpreting National Pasts – Role of Finnish Archives as Networks of Power and Sites of Memory” (no 25257, 2011–2014/2019), University of Turku. Project partners Finnish Literature Society (SKS) and Society of Swedish Literature in Finland (SLS).

Abstract:
AbstractThe chapter maps out the elite of the early Danish temperance movement and shows how distinct moral elites within the movement interpreted the cause according to their respective value frames while integrating the emerging disease frame of alcoholism. Theoretically, it argues for introducing the thus far estranged perspectives of elite studies and framing approaches to each other. The concept of moral elite is consequently introduced and defined as an elite that is rich in the resources on which moral authority is built, here limited to educational resources, organizational resources, and publications. The chapter applies a mixed methods design. First, social network analysis (SNA) is applied to a unique dataset comprising biographical information on 28 temperance leaders found in the Danish Who’s Who. The analysis reveals three distinct clusters within the temperance elite. Analyzing texts by the most prolific authors shows that each of the three clusters has a distinct profile: an elite dominated by medical doctors and theologians who articulate a traditional value frame according to which medical doctors and pastors carry a responsibility for the community – a responsibility that is expanded through philanthropy and specialized institutions; a revivalist elite of theologians and laymen who pursue a revivalist Holiness and civil society frame emphasizing faith’s healing abilities and the importance of organizing beyond the national church; and an organic elite that represented small farmers and workers and pushed an Enlightenment frame of direct democracy, rule of law, and education. The second part of the analysis shows how each elite cluster integrated the “alcoholism as a disease” belief frame in their value frames: traditional elites as a cause for institutionalization, revivalist elites as a reason to bolster the resilience in the population through faith, and the organic elite as a reason to promote self-care and education. In the final sections of the chapter, I tease out how the moral elite perspective may have implications for social movement research, especially in terms of holding movement elites accountable.

Abstract:
AbstractAs the pandemic situation continues, many people exercise at home. Mat Pilates is a popular workout and effective core strengthening. Although many researchers have conducted pose recognition studies for exercise posture correction, the study on Pilates exercise is only one case on static images. Therefore, for the purpose of exercise monitoring, we propose a real-time Pilates posture recognition system on a smartphone for exercise monitoring. We aimed to recognize 8 Pilates exercises—Bridge, Head roll-up, Hundred, Roll-up, Teaser, Plank, Thigh stretch, and Swan. First, the Blazepose model is used to extract body joint features. Then, we designed a deep neural network model that recognizes Pilates based on the extracted body features. It also measures the number of workouts, duration, and similarity to experts in video sequences. The precision, recall, and f1-score of the posture recognition model are 0.90, 0.87, and 0.88, respectively. The introduced application is expected to be used for exercise management at home.

Abstract:
AbstractTeacher education programs often lack opportunities for future teachers to develop networked knowledge structures by integrating knowledge from different fields. This article presents a design based research project that aims to link different domains of professional knowledge and enhance transferability to school practice in the form of an integrated seminar for student teachers of Spanish as a foreign language. The course combines team-teaching units with individual and collaborative problem-based learning tasks to promote co-constructive knowledge integration. Initial evaluation results indicate significant effects in terms of coherence construction and perception among students, but also reveal challenges and limitations of the integrated format (e.g., an above-average workload). Furthermore, fostering course coherence draws attention to other components of the teacher education program. On the one hand, integrating domains requires transparency about the knowledge acquired in previous courses, on the other hand, the creation of meaningful tasks implies matching them to the realities of professional practice in school. As initial surveys have shown, the implied tasks and related fostering of coherence result in a potentially fruitful but also tense relationship with university studies.

Abstract:
Abstract The study of the economics of infrastructure has already begun to show how the development, introduction, and use of an information infrastructure are an involved socio-technical process of negotiation. The open-ended character of this process—the stumbling, the compromises, the way non-technical interests get dressed up in technical disguise—calls for an analytic vehicle that helps tease out interesting and relevant issues related to the ‘management’ of such processes. This chapter introduces, outlines, and illustrates one such vehicle—namely, actor-network theory (ANT). We introduce ANT by briefly positioning it within the broader landscape of conceptualizations of technology and society. This exercise is intended to be neither comprehensive nor systematic. It is aimed at spelling out those underlying aspects of an information infrastructure towards which ANT makes us sensitive.

This chapter visits some of the fundamental concepts from platform economics, network effects, and network externalities. Further on, it discusses definitions of two-sided and multi-sided markets, how they are treated as business models. These concepts are further compared to the concept service ecosystem. A case of a payment service provider whose business model contributes to the growth of e-commerce is included. The purpose is to tease out how research on platforms has developed since e-commerce was in its infancy. The fundamental concepts developed in network economics are still valid and have been translated into different fields with a focus on value creation, information, and interaction. How platforms within platforms spur each other's growth is an area that has the potential to reach new insights on the platform economy.

Abstract:
Jill Nerby was the first to welcome me to Aniridia Foundation International (AFI) when I joined. Shortly after beginning to volunteer for AFI’s members’ newsletter, I approached Jill about doing this book. Instantly she approved of my idea and told me if I needed anything to let her know. She has been instrumental in shaping the book’s content and eliciting the participation of all the doctors and professionals. Her support and wisdom have helped create this informative book for you, and they have meant a great deal to me. She is caring and friendly to all. Jill inspires us to strive towards goals for AFI and in our own lives. Here is her inspiring personal life story and the tale of how she began Aniridia Foundation International (formally the USA Aniridia Network). Jill Ann Nerby was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1961 to her parents, Dennis and Sullen Nerby. She was officially diagnosed with aniridia when she went for her three-week check-up. Jill’s parents were told that she was only the second person in the state of Wisconsin to be diagnosed with aniridia. Dr. George Worm realized something was wrong with her eyes and sent her to a well-known ophthalmologist in Chicago, Illinois, with experience in aniridia. This doctor tested Jill for glaucoma and found that she had been born with it. She was then put on eye drops, since the doctor felt Jill was too young to have surgery. Jill’s parents were devastated, since she was their first child and the family’s first grandchild. They did not even know if she could see and thought she might be blind already. They asked many people and sisters at the Catholic convent to pray for Jill. Today Jill has a younger sister, Marybeth, and a younger brother, Jeff; they do not have aniridia. Jill says growing up was challenging at times. Kids would sometimes tease her, leave her out, or pick her last.

Sanders, Suzanne, and Jessica Kirschbaum. Forest health monitoring at Mississippi National River and Recreation Area: 2022 field season. National Park Service, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/2301407.

Full text
Abstract:
The Mississippi National River and Recreation area (MISS), situated along a 116 km stretch of the Mississippi River through the Minneapolis and St. Paul urban corridor, encompasses ~21,800 ha of public and private land. In 2022, the Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network (GLKN) resampled permanent forest monitoring sites in the park, marking the second assessment of these sites, which were established and initially sampled in 2011. The goal of this long-term monitoring project is to provides managers with routine updates on which to base management decisions; these data can also be used to tease apart impacts and elucidate causal agents when novel problems or situations arise. We initiated a comprehensive forest monitoring program at MISS in 2011, establishing 33 sites at that time. High water levels during our sampling window that year precluded sampling on many of our planned sites while on others, water levels had only recently subsided. Here, the full complement of herbs had not yet emerged. In 2022, we resampled existing sites and established additional locations, bringing the total to 50. Sampled and derived metrics included trees (density and basal area of live trees, seedlings, and snags (i.e., standing dead trees)), understory (herb and shrub frequency), browse (bite marks on woody species and presence and height of herbaceous species), and taxa richness. We classified sites into four broad forest types using the newer (2022) dataset, resulting in two upland types (upland rich, upland disturbed) and two floodplain types (box elder-dominated and silver maple-dominated). Because of sampling difficulties in 2011, we are only comparing tree, sapling, and snag data between years. At upland rich sites, overall tree (? 2.5 cm diameter at breast height [DBH]) density declined 22%, while that for just the small sapling component (? 2.5 cm, &lt; 5 cm DBH) fell 41%. Species experiencing notable losses include basswood (Tilia americana L.), elm (Ulmus L.), bitternut hickory (Carya cordiformis (Wangenh.) K. Koch), and red oak (Quercus rubra L.). All three resampled sites are located in Spring Lake Park Reserve and subjected to high white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Zimm.) browse pressure. We sampled seven sites in upland disturbed forests, where overall tree density fell 17% from 778 ? 215 trees/ha to 648 ? 72 trees/ha, largely due to declines in elm, ash (Fraxinus sp. L.), and hackberry (Celtis occidentalis L.). While changes in black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) mirrored this pattern in diameter classes above 5 cm, density of saplings increased 12-fold, largely due to a swamping effect from one site, possibly in response to buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica L.) removal. In the nine box elder-dominated sites, overall tree density declined from 635 ? 47 in 2011 to 500 ? 58 trees/ha in 2022, mainly reflecting changes in box elder (Acer negundo L.), elm, and silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.). In these sites, density of large (? 30 cm DBH) snags increased from 2.5 ? 1.6 to 11.1 ? 4.4 snags/ha. In silver maple-dominated floodplain forests, tree density in the 12 sites fell from 421 ? 63 to 291 ? 23 trees/ha, with declines observed in all five dominant species. Sapling density was low in these sites, falling from 62.6 ? 36 in 2011 to 23.6 ? 11 saplings/ha in 2022. Our observations likely reflect both deer browse and alteration of the flow regime by river impoundment. At upland sites, deer browse is impeding regeneration of all major upland species: red oak, bitternut hickory, basswood, and elm. While browse is also occurring in floodplain sites, prolonged inundation may play a larger role in regeneration failure here. Saplings of silver maple, box elder, cottonwood, elm, and hackberry all have some degree of susceptibility to inundation, ranging from moderate tolerance to completely intolerant. The Mississippi River experienced flooding in 2014, 2017, and again in 2019 when flood stage was exceeded for a record number of days in St. Paul. Sapling decline at floodplain sites is likely a direct result of this. Forest management within the park should focus both on invasive species control and floodplain reforestation. Several sites with heavy invasive weed species are in areas where leveraging local volunteers for removal projects may be possible. Floodplain reforestation requires a dual approach of research and active management. Research is needed to determine preferred propagule types and planting stock, as well as the most effective ways to control invasives, especially reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.). Active floodplain reforestation can alleviate many of the issues we found here, although this is expensive, limited in scope, and carries with it a great deal of uncertainty. Nonetheless, projects undertaken at a small scale can provide lessons to managers, based on which aspects were successful and which were not. Many of the park forests at MISS are nearing an inflection point and are at risk of becoming irreversibly altered if countermeasures are not undertaken in the near future. At this point, steps taken to promote ecosystem integrity are likely to be less costly and more effective than those which may be needed after further ecosystem decline. The river system through the Twin Cities metro area provides numerous services, both ecological and otherwise. As the need to act is becoming a pressing issue, it is incumbent on land managers to recognize this, and address it.

Perkins, Dustin. Invasive exotic plant monitoring at Dinosaur National Monument: Results of the 2019 field season on the Green River, and the third completed monitoring rotation. Edited by Alice Wondrak Biel. National Park Service, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2284627.

Full text
Abstract:
Invasive exotic plant (IEP) species are a significant threat to natural ecosystem integrity and biodiversity, and controlling them is a high priority for the National Park Service. The Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) selected the early detection of IEPs as one of 11 monitoring protocols to be implemented as part of its long-term monitoring program. We also calculated a patch management index (PMI) to quantify the extent and density of invasive patches into a single value that helps identify the scale of the problem. Park managers can use this tool to help prioritize IEP treatment. At Dinosaur National Monument, the NCPN monitors IEPs in the Green and Yampa river corridors. This report summarizes data from monitoring on the Green River in 2019, and monitoring on the Yampa River in 2017, to represent the completion of the third monitoring rotation of the entire river corridor (2002–2005, 2010–2011, 2017–2019). During surveys conducted from June 26 to July 2, 2019, NCPN staff detected 12 priority IEP species and two non-priority species in a 84.6-hectare (209-acre) area along 74.4 kilometers of the Green River above (“upper”) and below (“low-er”) its confluence with the Yampa. A total of 2,535 IEP patches were detected. Of those patches, 24.2% and 15.6% were smaller than 40 m2 on the upper and lower Green River reaches, respectively. The patch management index (PMI) was low or very low for 95.7% of patches on the upper Green River and 90.9% of patches on the lower Green River. Tamarisk (Tamarix sp.), broad-leaf pepperwort (Lepidium latifolium), and yellow sweetclover (Meli-lotus officinalis) were the most widespread species. For the first time, NCPN monitoring detected teasel (Dipsacus sylvestris) on the upper Green River. Yellow sweetclover has increased on all three river reaches during the survey years. Musk thistle (Carduus nutans) was found at considerably lower levels than yellow sweetclover but has also increased on all three river reaches. Leafy spurge is increasing on the lower Green River and Yampa River. Cheatgrass was not monitored in the first rotation, but increased substantially in cover and percent frequency on all three river sections from 2010–2011 to 2017–2019. This increase may be due to a lack of recent high-flow scouring events. The highly regulated upper Green River generally has the highest number of IEPs, while the lower Green River has a moderate amount of IEPs. The largely unregulated flows of the Yampa River continue to result in a lower number of patches per kilometer, lower percent cover, and lower percent frequency than the upper or lower Green River. Network staff will return to the monument in 2022 to begin the fourth monitoring rotation.
