Does the Kuleshov effect really exist? Revisiting a classic film experiment on facial expressions and emotional contexts

According to film mythology, the Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov conducted an experiment in which he combined a close-up of an actor’s neutral face with three different emotional contexts: happiness, sadness, and hunger. The viewers of the three film sequences reportedly perceived the actor’s face as expressing an emotion congruent with the given context. It is not clear, however, whether or not the

Shame and Confidence, Knowledge and Social Codes. Interaction in a School with Democratic Ambitions

It is always challenging to try to transmit and transform values and attitudes within a school in a democratic society, and even more challenging to do so in a group of socially disadvantaged pupils. What happens in a classroom where disadvantaged pupils in the upper secondary school meet teachers who have a general obligation to transmit democratic values? This article is a case study of the inte

Entwined visions: Capital, Politics and Nature in the production of Trump International - Scotland's Aberdeenshire golf resort

With planning application for Trump Golf International Links Scotland's (TIGLS) proposed Golf Resort at Menie Estate outside Aberdeen a site is opened up for development to fulfil visions of producing a world class golf resort. Both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and local inhabitants are affected by this, and various protests have been aired during the process. This paper explores the envi

A2-codes and codes for the rank metric

Simmons (1990) has introduced an extended authentication model where caution is taken both against deceptions from an outsider (opponent) and against some forms of deception from the insiders (transmitter and receiver). Codes for this model are called authentication codes with arbitration, or simply A2 codes. A new construction of authentication codes with arbitration is proposed, which uses codes

The tomb of Caecilia Metella: tumulus, tropaeum and thymele

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgörs av en detaljerad studie av ett enskilt antikt byggnadsverk – Caecilia Metellas mausoleum. Detta gravmonument tillhörde en högättad romersk kvinna och är beläget intill Via Appia strax utanför Rom. Byggnaden utmärker sig bland annat genom sin storlek, men också genom sin högst ovanliga arkitektoniska utformning. Syftet med studien är att söka förstå dThe present thesis constitutes a close study of a single architectural monument, the tomb of Caecilia Metella. This is a well-preserved cylindrical tomb situated on the Via Appia outside Rome, and it is generally associated with sepulchral buildings of the traditional tumulus type. An inscription reveals that the occupant of the grave was a noble woman belonging to one of the most prestigious fami

A Spiral Process Model for Case Studies on Software Quality Monitoring - Method and Metrics

This article presents a spiral process model for an iterative case study on quality monitoring, conducted in an industrial environment. In a highly iterative project, everything seems to happen at the same time: analysis, design and testing. We propose a spiral process model for case studies, and present a study conducted according to the proposed process. In the study, metrics collected from thre

Contribution of tissue composition and structure to mechanical response of articular cartilage under different loading geometries and strain rates

Mechanical function of articular cartilage in joints between articulating bones is dependent on the composition and structure of the tissue. The mechanical properties of articular cartilage are traditionally tested in compression using one of the three loading geometries, i.e., confined compression, unconfined compression or indentation. The aim of this study was to utilize a composition-based fin
