To Be Continued: Serial Narration, Chronic Disease, and Disability.

2019

This article explores the representation of Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease in the television series The Good Wife and The Michael J. Fox Show. We suggest that serial narration offers intriguing ways to rethink the function and meaning of narratives in health contexts, and that the episodic narrative form of television series may afford insights into the structure of medical encounters. Specifically, we examine to what extent serial narration, with its focus on continuity and repetition, might help reimagine the typical narrative of decline, which is implicit in the terminology of neurodegeneration, as well as the narrative of (premature) closure or finitude that often accompanies a di…

Flow perturbations: a tool to study and characterize heterogeneous deformation

2005

The classification of the myriad of small-scale structures that are used in tectonic analysis is presently based on their geometry, which makes it difficult to discover transitions and groups amongst them. An alternative would be to classify structures according to the flow type by which they form, but this is difficult. Although most structures form by heterogeneous flow, modelling studies are often focussed on bulk homogeneous flow, since the mathematical treatment of heterogeneous flow is cumbersome. Also, heterogeneous deformation patterns seem to occur in as many types as there are small-scale structures. This paper introduces the use of the geometry of flow perturbations to improve ou…

Effectiveness of cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil in a child with refractory evans syndrome

2011

Evans Syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease consisting of hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and/or neutropenia. It may be associated with other autoimmune or lymphoproliferative diseases. Its course can be extremely serious and, rarely, even life-threatening

Central extensions of the families of quasi-unitary Lie algebras

1998

The most general possible central extensions of two whole families of Lie algebras, which can be obtained by contracting the special pseudo-unitary algebras su(p,q) of the Cartan series A_l and the pseudo-unitary algebras u(p,q), are completely determined and classified for arbitrary p,q. In addition to the su(p,q) and u({p,q}) algebras, whose second cohomology group is well known to be trivial, each family includes many non-semisimple algebras; their central extensions, which are explicitly given, can be classified into three types as far as their properties under contraction are involved. A closed expression for the dimension of the second cohomology group of any member of these families …

Theory of ground state factorization in quantum cooperative systems.

2008

We introduce a general analytic approach to the study of factorization points and factorized ground states in quantum cooperative systems. The method allows to determine rigorously existence, location, and exact form of separable ground states in a large variety of, generally non-exactly solvable, spin models belonging to different universality classes. The theory applies to translationally invariant systems, irrespective of spatial dimensionality, and for spin-spin interactions of arbitrary range.

On the graded identities and cocharacters of the algebra of 3×3 matrices

2004

Abstract Let M2,1(F) be the algebra of 3×3 matrices over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero with non-trivial Z 2 -grading. We study the graded identities of this algebra through the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group Z 2 ∼S n . After splitting the space of multilinear polynomial identities into the sum of irreducibles under the Z 2 ∼S n -action, we determine all the irreducible Z 2 ∼S n -characters appearing in this decomposition with non-zero multiplicity. We then apply this result in order to study the graded cocharacter of the Grassmann envelope of M2,1(F). Finally, using the representation theory of the general linear group, we determine all the grade…

Pourquoi un clos au Clos de Vougeot?

2012

Dans la viticulture actuelle, les grands clos d'origine monastique sont une valeur fondamentale, preuve de qualité pour des vins avant tout identifiés à leur lieu d'origine. La tradition puis le marketing se sont emparés de cette double image, celle des clos et des moines, qu'ils utilisent à l'envi pour valoriser le terroir, son histoire et ses fruits. Le Clos de Vougeot, fleuron de la viticulture et du tourisme bourguignon n'échappe évidemment pas à la tendance, médiatisé sur tous les vecteurs possibles. Il est devenu l'une des images identitaires de ce patrimoine particulier

Injustice in the Ruins and a Disordered Post-Apocalypse: Gothic Ideology in the Digital Game World of Fallout 3

2020

The Gothic is an influential source for storytelling in a wide range of digital games. Thus far, interpreting it in games and how they are informed by Gothic ideology has been little studied. This study seeks to address this gap in research by investigating these issues in the narrative of the action role-playing game, Fallout 3. More specifically, through a close reading of the game narrative and by drawing on theories of the Gothic, ideological aspects of the Gothic are analyzed in detail with specific reference to non-player characters and their actions and dialogue along with elements of the mise-en-scéne, style, and simulation. Results show how classic Gothic ideology is reproduced in …

Connexions entre el ball i la prostitució en la tardor medieval : fembres pecadrius, reis arlots i çabies

2020

Resum: En aquest estudi es constaten les estretes relacions existents durant la tardor medieval entre les fembres pecadrius i la pràctica del ball: per una banda, als ravals i els prostíbuls, controlats algun temps per la figura del rei Arlot, i per l’altra, a l’entorn de la cort, sota el redós de les classes dirigents. A més, s’hi analitzen impostos com la tarquena o tarchana (tarcón en castellà), que gravava les activitats de les çabies o sabies (prostitutes musulmanes) i les intervencions musicals dels joglars en les noces i les sambres del col·lectiu sarraí.Paraules clau: ball, prostitutes, rei Arlot, çabies, tarquena, edat mitjanaAbstract: This study shows the close relationship betwee…
