Universal exhibitions and the cinema: history and culture

The objective of this article is to examine the presence of cinema in World Fairs between the 1893 World`s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and 1939 (the New York World`s Fair). As an integral part of a visual culture constructed by these spaces to celebrate capitalism, the trajectory of cinema is identified with these world fairs due to its ability to entertain and, at the same time, to educate. Cinema was established as a means of mass communication during the First World War and afterwards would participate more actively in the symbolic disputes of a world about to enter the second global conflict. It would reach a broader public, becoming the main `showcase` in which nations projected virtues to be celebrated. The new striking visual spectacle assumed, within this context, greater emphasis through films idealized as true cinematographic monuments.

The climate and environment of Byzantine Anatolia: integrating science, history, and archaeology

The integration of high-resolution archaeological, textual, and environmental data with longer-term, low-resolution data affords greater precision in identifying some of the causal relationships underlying societal change. Regional and microregional case studies about the Byzantine world—in particular, Anatolia, which for several centuries was the heart of that world—reveal many of the difficulties that researchers face when attempting to assess the influence of environmental factors on human society. The Anatolian case challenges a number of assumptions about the impact of climatic factors on socio-political organization and medium-term historical evolution, highlighting the importance of further collaboration between historians, archaeologists, and climate scientists.

Zirconium oxide anodic films: Optical and structural properties

The photoluminescence of anodically prepared ZrO(2) films was investigated. Morphological and microstructural analyses reveal an oxide surface covered by a high distribution of blisters and the major crystallographic structure is the monoclinic phase with small quantities of tetragonal phase. The photoluminescence reveals a broad emission band in the range between 350 and 650 nm. It was proposed that the photoluminescence mechanism is originated from the emission of a recombination center related to defects (oxygen vacancies) formed during Zr anodization.

James Bond will return: der serielle Charakter der James Bond-Filme

Die James Bond-Filme: seit über 40 Jahren sind sie ein unübersehbarer Bestandteil der Populärkultur. Anfang der 60er Jahre unter völlig anderen historischen, sozialen und nicht zuletzt filmtechnischen Voraussetzungen aus der Taufe gehoben, gelingt es ihnen auch heute noch, ein Massenpublikum für sich zu gewinnen. Inwiefern kann man bei einer so langen Laufzeit überhaupt noch von einer homogenen Serie sprechen? Und was für Gemeinsamkeiten, Unterschiede und auch Weiterentwicklungen von der ursprünglichen Machart sind hier zu beobachten? Dies sind die Grundfragen der vorliegenden Dissertation. Bei der Benennung der seriellen Eigenschaften werden sowohl inhaltliche als auch dramaturgische und filmtechnisch-formale Aspekte betrachtet. Die Figurenkonstellation von Held, Gegenspieler und der weiblichen Hauptfigur, die zwischen den beiden steht und häufig die Seiten wechselt, ist ein Schema das - kaum variiert - schon in den Romanvorlagen Ian Flemings zum Einsatz kam und auch das Rückgrat der Film-Plots bildet. Dennoch ließ dieses Gerüst den mittlerweile fünf verschiedenen Darstellern, die James Bond nacheinander verkörperten, genügend Freiraum für das Ausarbeiten eines eigenen Rollenkonzepts, das auf ihren speziellen Schauspielstil ausgerichtet war. Dadurch erhielt die James Bond-Figur jeweils eine Neuinterpretation, die sich insbesondere in ihrem sozialen Habitus bemerkbar macht, der je nach Darsteller zwischen provokantem Aufsteigertyp und aristokratischem Gentleman changierte. Zum unverwechselbaren Erkennungsmerkmal der Bond-Serie avancierte die so genannte 'gun-barrel'-Sequenz, die in den ersten Sekunden jedes Films abläuft. Auch die sich anschließende Vortitelsequenz, eine auf Spannung oder Action angelegte Szene, die einen Vorgeschmack auf den folgenden Film liefern soll, ist ein Element, das der Machart von Fernsehserien entnommen ist. Neben diesen bewusst eingesetzten Markenzeichen lässt sich auch in der Gestaltungsweise der Filme - in Kameraführung, Schnitt, Musik und Set Design - eine stilistische Kontinuität feststellen, die insbesondere dadurch bedingt ist, dass die Serie seit jeher von den Produzenten ähnlich wie ein Familienunternehmen geführt wurde und - zumindest bis Ende der 80er Jahre - auch die kreativen Köpfe der Filme konsequent im eigenen Team ausgebildet wurden.

The James Lind Library: explaining and illustrating the evolution of fair tests of medical treatments

The James Lind Library (www.jameslindlibrary.org) has been established to improve public and professional general knowledge about fair tests of treatments in healthcare and their history. Its foundation was laid ten years ago at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and its administrative centre is in the College's Sibbald Library, one of the most important collections of historic medical manuscripts, papers and books in the world. The James Lind Library is a website that introduces visitors to the principles of fair tests of treatments, with a series of short, illustrated essays, which are currently available in English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. A 100-page book-- Testing Treatments--is now available free through the website, both in English and in Arabic and Spanish translations. To illustrate the evolution of ideas related to fair tests of treatments from 2000 BC to the present, the James Lind Library contains key passages and images from manuscripts, books and journal articles, many of them accompanied by commentaries, biographies, portraits and other relevant documents and images, including audio and video files. New material is being added to the website continuously, as relevant new records are identified and as methods for testing treatments evolve. A multinational, multilingual editorial team oversees the development of the website, which currently receives tens of thousands of visitors every month.
