Private Collections

When I read Elina Salminen’s doctoral thesis I found myself many times thinking, why she finds the relationship of the museums and the private collections called museums so very problematic. In cases examined by her, several museum professionals considered these private collections to be of a minor significance from the standpoint of the institutional museums. On the other hand, interviewed private collectors whose collections have been accepted in a professional museum collection did not deal the professional principles of e.g. the permanence of collections. This seems not to be a severe confrontation anyway.

O artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que reconstrói biografias de jovens brasileiros que são descendentes de italianos, com a cidadania italiana ou à espera de retorno ou de partida para a Itália. A análise propõe uma exploração dos múltiplos sentidos, instrumentais e simbólicos, da cidadania e aprofunda o relacionamento dos oriundi com o seus antepassados: por um lado, os jovens entrevistados são colocados em um "mercado da cidadania", dirigido por profissionais mais ou menos competentes e honestos, que se propõem buscar a documentação necessária para a aquisição da cidadania, vendendo a um preço elevado o "sonho italiano". Por outro lado, eles pretendem viajar para a Itália em busca de suas raízes, impulsionados pela memória e lembranças de família, em uma mobilidade facilitada por redes transnacionais de familiares e amigos. O estudo de caso mostra que as migrações nunca são definitivas, mas são viagens de ida e volta: o caminho para a Itália destes jovens é um caminho oposto aos avós e bisavós, que vieram no passado do Brasil, e caracteriza a trajetória de pessoas que, ao mesmo tempo, reivindicam um vínculo formal e emocional com a terra de seus antepassados, mas estão procurando melhores oportunidades de vida na Itália e na Europa.Palavras-chave: Jovens.

The study examines the multiple meanings of citizenship and analyzes the relationship of Italian Oriundi Brazilians with the country of their ancestors:on the one hand, the interviewees live in a sort of "market of citizenship", managed by officers with variable levels of expertise and honesty. These officers are responsible for searching the documents required to obtain Italian citizenship and sell the "Italian dream" at great cost. On the other hand, young Brazilians consider their journey to Italy as a way back to their origins, guided by their memories and those of their family and supported by transnational networks of relatives and friends. The case study here presented highlights how migrations are actually endless. These are instead more similar to round trips: young Brazilians'way back to Italy is opposite to that of their grandparents and great grandparents travelling to Brazil in the past; furthermore, it is a way for them to restore an emotional bond as well as a formal link with the land of their ancestors, but also to search for better opportunities in Italy and in Europe.Keywords: Youngs.

El análisis ofrece una exploración de una moltitud de sentidos, instrumentales y simbólicos, de la ciudadanía y profundiza la relación de los oriundi con el país de sus ancestros: por una parte, los jóvenes entrevistados se colocan en un "mercado de la ciudadanía", administrado por expertos más o menos eficientes y honestos, que se proponen lograr la documentación necesaria a la adquisición de la ciudadanía, vendiendo a precios altos el "sueño italiano". Por la otra, ellos miran al viaje hacia Italia como a un recorrido para encontrar sus orígenes, acompañados por la memoria y los recuerdos familiares, facilitados en la movilidad gracias a las redes transnacionales de familiares y conocidos. A través del caso examinado, se ve que las migraciones nunca son definitivas, sino viajes de ida y vuelta: el recorrido hacia Italia de estos jóvenes representa un camino inverso respecto a lo de los abuelos y bisabuelos que han llegado en pasado a Brasil y caracteriza la trayectoria de personas que, en el mismo tiempo, reclaman una relación afectiva y formal con la tierra de los ancestros, pero buscan también mejores oportunidades de vida en Italia y Europa.Palabras clave: Jóvenes.

Myth is a very dominant element in traditional Malay literature. The myths are not set forth in an unorganized manner or randomly, but instead are based on the belief patterns that are already in existence, and this reflects the connection of the society’s thinking with elements of animism that serve as the background of their lives before the arrival of other beliefs. Examples of the development of myth stories can be observed in hikayat (literary works) in traditional Malay literature like Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa and Sejarah Melayu. Meanwhile, examples of oral stories are those found in Cerita Rakyat Malaysia (2008). The aim of this article is to identify the functions of myths found in traditional Malay literature. This article will use the Sociology of Literature approach by Plummer, Ken (1997). The approach of this paper draws on to the questions of how myths became the belief of the society and what is the function of myths in traditional Malay literature texts. The functions of myths can be seen based on these questions. Elements of myths in historical works are narrations that are believed by the locals as actual occurrences that have happened in their locality in the past. Hence, the myth stories became the basis and answers to the inquisitiveness of the people of the past time. The other purpose is to uphold the royal dignity. In traditional literature, literature is viewed as the mirror of society and their documents. The role of myth stories is not only to explain their functions in the society but also to reveal the creativity of the writer or orator and the storyteller. But here, the presence of mythical elements explains to us the relationship of the work from the aspect of thoughts and the world view of that society in the past.

Users of Admiralty charts will be familiar with the fact that the specifications which are followed in respect of content and design evolve continually; some of the changes are in response to suggestions put forward by users. It is intended, for example, to add the morse identification of racon signals on charts, following a suggestion by Trinity House. The Hydrographer is always anxious to encourage comments from sea and the Chart Users' Advisory Panel is dedicated to that end. Some changes result from new developments in the navigational field: the representation of vhf radio lighthouses, for example, is now being considered so that they may be charted by symbol when they emerge from their present on-test status to become fully operational. Other changes stem from office considerations, such as new cartographic techniques or the requirements of effective maintenance of the published charts. The more important of these changes are announced through Admiralty Notices to Mariners as corrections to the Symbols and Abbreviations booklet, 5011, a document indispensable to chart users since charts do not themselves carry a key to the symbols used; over 40000 copies of 5011 have gone into circulation in the past two years alone. Other innovations, less significant or self-evident, are not normally announced by Notices to Mariners in this way but implemented through office instructions to the cartographic staff of the Department. Recent examples have been the decisions to include notes giving the relationship of charted latitudes and longitudes to WGS-based positions, so that SatNav observations can be reliably plotted on charts; and, on a minor level, to add the label ‘o’ (zero) to the drying line at intervals in the same way that other depth contours on metric charts are labelled with their values, a step deemed to be useful in case copies of charts have to be printed without the superimposed colour tints.

In a spirited treatise on the ‘Origin of our Animal World’ Prof. L. Rütimeyer, in the year 1867, described the geological development and distribution of the mammalia, and the relationship of the different faunas of the past with each other and with that now existing. Although, since the appearance of that masterly sketch the palæontological material has been, at least, doubled through new discoveries in Europe and more especially in North and South America, this unexpected increase has in most instances only served as a confirmation of the views which Rutimeyer advanced on more limited experience. At present, Africa forms the only great gap in our knowledge of the fossil mammalia; all the remaining parts of the world can show materials more or less abundantly, from which the course followed by the mammalia in their geological development can be traced with approximate certainty.

The Relationship

The role of infrastructure in encouraging transportation cycling in smaller cities with a low prevalence of cycling remains unclear. To investigate the relationship between the presence of infrastructure and transportation cycling in a small city (Lethbridge, AB, Canada), we interviewed 246 adults along a recently-constructed bicycle boulevard and two comparison streets with no recent changes in cycling infrastructure. One comparison street had a separate multi-use path and the other had no cycling infrastructure. Questions addressed time spent cycling in the past week and 2 years prior and potential socio-demographic and psychosocial correlates of cycling, including safety concerns. Finally, we asked participants what could be done to make cycling safer and more attractive. We examined predictors of cycling using gender-stratified generalized linear models. Women interviewed along the street with a separate path reported cycling more than women on the other streets. A more favorable attitude towards cycling and greater habit strength were associated with more cycling in both men and women. Qualitative data revealed generally positive views about the bicycle boulevard, a need for education about sharing the road and for better cycling infrastructure in general. Our results suggest that, even in smaller cities, cycling infrastructure may encourage cycling, especially among women.

Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) may play an important role in the development and maintenance of persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS). Post-injury breathing dysfunction, which is influenced by the ANS, has not been well-studied in youth. This study evaluated cardiorespiratory functioning at baseline in youth patients with PPCS and examined the relationship of cardiorespiratory variables with neurobehavioral outcomes. Participants were between the ages of 13–25 in two groups: (1) Patients with PPCS (concussion within the past 2–16 months; n = 13) and (2) non-injured controls (n = 12). Capnometry was used to obtain end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2), oxygen saturation (SaO2), respiration rate (RR), and pulse rate (PR) at seated rest. PPCS participants exhibited a reduced mean value of EtCO2 in exhaled breath (M = 36.3 mmHg, SD = 2.86 mmHg) and an altered inter-correlation between EtCO2 and RR compared to controls. Neurobehavioral outcomes including depression, severity of self-reported concussion symptoms, cognitive catastrophizing, and psychomotor processing speed were correlated with cardiorespiratory variables when the groups were combined. Overall, results from this study suggest that breathing dynamics may be altered in youth with PPCS and that cardiorespiratory outcomes could be related to a dimension of neurobehavioral outcomes associated with poorer recovery from concussion.

Great Simplicity

During the last few years of his life Prof. Simon Newcomb was keenly interested in the problem of periodicities, and devised a new method for their investigation. This method is explained, and to some extent applied, in a paper entitled "A Search for Fluctuations in the Sun's Thermal Radiation through their Influence on Terrestrial Temperature." The importance of the question justifies a critical examination of the relationship of the older methods to that of Newcomb, and though I do not agree with his contention that his process gives us more than can be obtained from Fourier's analysis, it has the advantage of great simplicity in its numerical work, and should prove useful in a certain, though I am afraid, very limited field. Let f ( t ) represent a function of a variable which we may take to be the time, and let the average value of the function be zero. Newcomb examines the sum of the series f ( t 1 ) f ( t 1 + τ) + f ( t 2 ) f ( t 2 + τ) + f ( t 3 ) f ( t 3 + τ) + ..., where t 1 , t 2 , etc., are definite values of the variable which are taken to lie at equal distances from each other. If the function be periodic so as to repeat itself after an interval τ, the products are all squares and each term is positive. If, on the other hand, the periodic time be 2τ, each product will be negative and the sum itself therefore negative. It is easy to see that if τ be varied continuously the sum of the series passes through maxima and minima, and the maxima will indicated the periodic time, or any of its multiples.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between physical activity in sport and feelings of well-being, testing alternative interpretations of the relationship between these two variables. It was expected that there would be positive relationships between physical activity on the one hand and physical fitness, feelings of well-being, social interaction in the sport and exercise environment, and socioeconomic status on the other hand. It was also expected that physical fitness, social interaction, and socioeconomic status would be positively related to psychological well-being. Further, it was expected that any positive zero-order relationship of physical activity and well-being would be at least in part a result of the conjoint effects of the other variables. The analyses were conducted separately for the male and female subsamples of a large survey study of Canadian adults. The results, after controls, show a modest positive relationship of physical activity and well-being for males but no such relationship for females. The predicted independent effects of the control factors obtained for both males and females. Interpretations of the results are discussed.

One hundred four healthy premature infants, of birth weight 1,000 to 1,800 gm, were fed one of five feedings: (1) human milk; (2) human milk plus 13 meq/l of sodium chloride; (3) human milk plus 13 meq/l of sodium chloride and 18 meq/l of potassium chloride; (4) a half-skimmed cows milk formula; and (5) a partially-skimmed vegetable oil, cows milk formula. The infants fed any of the three human milk formulas gained weight at a slower rate than the infants fed either of the two cows milk formulas. Infants whose diets were changed from unmodified human milk to the half-skimmed cows milk gained large amounts of weight, and at times were visibly edematous. Infants whose diets were changed from the human milks with added sodium chloride, to the half-skimmed cows milk, gained lesser amounts of weight and did not become edematous. The infants fed the two cows milk diets gained similar amounts of weight, although one diet provided 6.5 gm/kg/day, the other 3.1 gm/kg/day of protein.

Immortality Of The Soul

Summary The present article discusses three hotly debated interpretational issues in Diotima´s speech in Plato´s Symposium. The first of these is the relationship of Diotima´s speech to other dialogues, such as the Phaedo and the Republic, with regard to the immortality of the soul. It is argued that there is no discrepancy at all, because the immortality of the soul does not play any role in the Symposium. The second issue is the nature of the three classes of posterity: biological, spiritual and philosophical. Whereas the posterity of the first two classes can be relatively easily defined, the character of the philosopher´s posterity, ‘true virtue’, remains rather vague. It may consist in dialectical teaching of the Idea of Beauty by Socrates. Thirdly, it is argued that the philosopher´s immortality differs only gradually from the immortality of the other two classes, that is, the philosopher as a man only survives by means of his posterity.
