Creating Reality in Factual Television analyzes the uneasy
interaction between economics, culture, and professional ethics in
reality and documentary television storytelling. Through the
"frankenbite," an editorial tool that extracts and re-orders the
salient elements or single words of a statement, interview, or
exchange into a revealing confession or argument, the book explores
how and why editors manipulate truth in factual television. The
author considers how the editing of documentary television is
increasingly following reality television's dictate to entertain
instead of inform, how the "real" and the "truth" fall victim to
the demand to "tell entertaining stories," and how editors must
compromise their professional ethics as a result. Drawing on
interviews with 75 North American and European editors that explore
their experiences and opinions of reality and documentary
television practices, and their views on their responsibilities and
loyalties in the field, Creating Reality in Factual Television
illuminates the real and potential ethical dilemmas of editorial
decision making, the context in which decisions are made, and how
editors themselves validate the editing choices to themselves and
others. Addressing a dramatic development in contemporary media
ecology - the age of "alternative facts" - this book is a useful
research tool for scholars and students of documentary film, media
literacy, genre studies, media ethics, affect theory, and audience
perception.

Unconscious Incarnations considers the status of the body in
psychoanalytic theory and practice, bringing Freud and Lacan into
conversation with continental philosophy to explore the
heterogeneity of embodied life. By doing so, the body is no longer
merely an object of scientific inquiry but also a lived body, a
source of excessive intuition and affectivity, and a raw animality
distinct from mere materiality. The contributors to this volume
consist of philosophers, psychoanalytic scholars, and practitioners
whose interdisciplinary explorations reformulate traditional
psychoanalytic concepts such as trauma, healing, desire,
subjectivity, and the unconscious. Collectively, they build toward
the conclusion that phenomenologies of embodiment move
psychoanalytic theory and practice away from representationalist
models and toward an incarnational approach to psychic life. Under
such a carnal horizon, trauma manifests as wounds and scars,
therapy as touch, subjectivity as bodily boundedness, and the
unconscious 'real' as an excessive remainder of flesh. Unconscious
incarnations signal events where the unsignifiable appears among
signifiers, the invisible within the visible, and absence within
presence. In sum: where the flesh becomes word and the word retains
its flesh. Unconscious Incarnations seeks to evoke this
incarnational approach in order to break through tacit taboos
toward the body in psychology and psychoanalysis. This
interdisciplinary work will appeal greatly to psychoanalysts and
psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as philosophy scholars and
clinical psychologists.
This work studies urban problems and policy. It addresses the
socio-economic context of the Metropolitan region. It also
discusses: fragmentation, divisiveness and governmental
organization; divisiveness and law enforcement; divisiveness and
the social services; and, divisiveness and regional development.
During the past years a considerable number of books have been
published on atherosclerosis research. Much attention has been
focused on the biochemical properties of lipoproteins and the
involvement of lipoprotein metabolism in the atherogenic process.
The monograph presented here focuses on morphologic studies of
atherosclerotic plaque. One chapter deals with the pathobiochemical
changes in the arterial wall at the inception of atherosclerosis.
Recently the specific role of macro phages in atherogenesis has
been the object of much interest. A morphological study of their
role and differentiation is the topic of another chapter. This is
complemented by a study of lipoprotein receptors on macrophages and
smooth muscle cells both in cell culture and in situ, based on
electron microscopic investiga- tions. An immunohistological study
on the in situ localization promotes our understanding
oflipoprotein metabolism in the arterial wall. The morphologic
aspects of more advanced lesions are present- ed in studies of
collagens and angiogenic processes in the athero- sclerotic vessel
wall. Experimental investigations have also been useful for
understanding the pathogenetic aspects of atherosclerosis; one
crrapter concentrates on the metabolism of fibromuscular and
atheromatous plaques in an experimental model. A final chapter
deals with transplant arteriopathy and its possible parallels with
conventional atherosclerosis. The widespread discussion of athero-
genesis is focused on the arterial wall and its morphological
alter- ations, emphasizing once again the importance of
morphological research for understanding the pathological basis of
disease. Borstel and Magdeburg E. VOLLMER and A.
In 1967 cardiologists in Switzerland were struck by the sudden
increase in the number of cases of so-called primary pulmonary
hypertensive disease (PPHD). Up untill966, the cardiology centers
in Switzerland had not seen more than one or two cases a year, but
this number suddenly multiplied by ten or twenty times. At the June
1968 meeting ofthe Swiss Society of Cardiology, Gurtner et al.
(1968b) presented a paper which raised the question whether the
vascular types of cor pulmonale had increased. They also raised the
question about the possible responsibility of environmental
factors, such as toxins or drugs, in causing this increase.
Krrihenbuhl et al. (1968) first suggested the possible
responsibility of anorexigenic drugs, but no proof was provided.
Soon after this, the cardiology team in Bem (Gurtner et al., 1968a)
published their report, which resumed and completed the
above-mentioned prelim inary communication; 31 cases of PPHD, among
which 17 had taken an anorexigenic drug, aminorex fumarate
(Menocil, Cilag), were reported. The importance of this work was
soon recognized and it was followed by several meetings (in Vienna,
Hannover, and Burgenstock) and two round tables sponsored by the
Swiss Society of Cardiology (in Montreux and Basel)."
The idea of the organization of a Symposium on Spiral Structure
came at a special meeting of Commission 33 on Spiral Structure
during the 12th General Assembly of the IAU in Prague, 1967. So
much interest was shown during this meeting that one of us proposed
a special Symposium on the 'Spiral Structure of Our Galaxy' for
1969. The response was immediate and it was finally agreed upon
holding the Symposium in Basel, a center of galactic research in
the center of Europe. During the next months a special 'List of
Problems', related to this Symposium, was sent to many prospective
participants by the president of Commission 33. This stimulated an
increase of interest in problems of galactic spiral structure and a
con centrated effort on some problems. The organizing Committee of
the Symposium was composed of Drs. L. Woltjer (president), W.
Becker, A. Blaauw, B. J. Bok, G. Contopoulos, F. J. Kerr, C. C.
Lin, S. W. McCuskey and S. B. Pikel'ner. Most of the work for the
organization of the Symposium was carried by Dr. L. W oltjer. The
Local Committee, composed of Drs. W. Becker, U. W. Steinlin, R. P.
Fenkart, and G. A. Tammann, made every effort to secure the success
of the Symposium. Most of the credit goes to Dr. Steinlin. The
Symposium was supported financially by the IAU and by the Swiss
National Science Foundation. The meetings took place at the
University of Basel, which provided also secretarial help and many
other facilities."

This book is a revised updated edition of the second edition which
appeared 1974.The work described in this publication was initiated
at the General Electric Company's Electronics Laboratory, Syracuse,
N.Y., U.S.A. The author would like to take this opportunity to
express his gratitude to the Electronics Laboratory for its support
and encouragement in this work. Thanks are in particular due to Dr.
J.J. Suran for his continued interest and help. It is impossible to
acknowledge all the help the au thor has received from members of
the Laboratory staff. However, the au thor is particularly indebted
to r.lr. T.C. Robbins for managing the build ing of the word
recognizer (described in Section 7.4) and for many help ful
discussions. The work was later continued in Denmark, supported by
two grants: no. 1382 in 1966 and no. 1511 in 1967, received from
the Danish Govern ment Fund for Industrial and Scientific Research.
The author is grateful to said Fund, and thereby the Danish
taxpayers, who gave the author an opportunity for uninterrupted
work with pattern recognitions problems. In August 1967 the author
joined the staff of the Electronics Labo ratory, Technical
University of Denmark, where the subsequent pattern recognition
work took place; the author is happy to acknowledge his debt to the
members of the staff and to his students for many stimulating and
helpful discussions."
The N(h)-Working Party, a Group in Commission III of URS! (URS!
Information Bulletin No. 112, p. 12) suggested these calculations
of ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices n , vertical group
refractive indices c/U , and virtual o,x o,x 1 heights h (f), for
an Epstein, cosine and parabolic layer model. c ist the free 0 X 1
space velocity of light . U and U denote vertical ordinary and
extraordinary 0 X group velocities. The data are intended to
facilitate real height (h) computations from 1 1 observed, h
(f)-traces. Especially the h (f)-data are intended also to allow
o,x o,x for tests of existing reduction methods. For ionization
minimum investigations an additional set of tables is presented.
These tables represent the virtual paths 1 6 h (f) of sounding
pulses which penetrate an ionospheric layer of parabolic o,x 1
shape; they can be used together with the abovementioned standard h
(f)-curves o,x 1 to give ordinary and extraordinary h (f)-traces
for any combination of a lower O, X parabolic layer and an upper
Epstein, cosine or parabolic electron density distribution.
Ordinary group refractive index tables have already been published
by D. H. SHINN [ 1] 1 and by Vv. BECKER [ 2] * Their value s of cp
, the angle of inclination of the earth s magnetic field, are
slightly different from those used here. These tables may be used 1
as additional sets for interpolation purposes. D. H.

How can government stay linked to its citizens? Across the world,
governments' basic principles are turned on their heads as global
markets, weakened national states, and active citizens emerge.
Governments increasingly act not alone, but many governments and
private groups make policy jointly - labeled 'governance'. But this
raises new concerns for adequate citizen responsiveness. Leaders
and parties previously considered left or right make unexpected
choices - as leaders explore Third Ways, New Political Cultures,
and more. As policy choices grow more complicated, they are harder
to present to citizens - which undermines citizen legitimacy of
parties and elected officials.
How can government maintain democratic accountability? This
volume explores new answers by probing citizen involvement in
specific cities and countries the world over. There is no single
problem, hence no single remedy. But by contrasting key elements of
national and local contexts, this volume offers lessons about how
citizens are variously activated; about what works, where, and why.
From specific results emerge insights about how citizens may drive
policy, or be ignored, in a time of turbulence and rapid cultural
change for government policy making.

Der Auf trag zum Bau des Hafens Greenville wurde im Jahre 1954 von
der Regierung der Re- publik Liberia durch den zustandigen Minister
HeITn Buchanan, dem Chef des Department of Public Works and
Utilities, an die Afrikanische Frucht-Compagnie Laeisz & Co.,
Hamburg, erteilt. Fur die Afrikanische Frucht-Compagnie ubernahm
Herr Baudirektor Dr. Ing. Kressner die Voruntersuchungen, die
Vorplanung und den ersten Plan fUr die Bauausfiihrung. Yom
September 1956 an wurde wegen des schlechten Gesundheitszustandes
des Herrn Dr. Kressner auf seinen V or- schlag der Verfasser
hinzugezogen und alsdann ein endgultiger Plan fiir die weitere
BauausfUhrung mit den zugehorigen Detailzeichnungen gemeinsam
aufgestellt. Nach dem Tode von Herrn Dr. Kressner am 8. 2. 1958
ubernahm der Verfasser die alleinige Beratung der Afrikanischen
Frucht- Compagnie und die Fertigstellung der Detailplane und die
Uberwachung der BauausfUhrung. Als ortlichen Bauleiter hatte die
Afrikanische Frucht-Compagnie vom Beginn der Arbeiten bis zum
SchluB Herrn Dipl.-Ing. Schiitz eingesetzt. 1m Jahre 1955 ubertrug
die Afrikanische Frucht-Compagnie den FirmenLenz-BauAG, Hamburg und
August Prien, Hamburg, die Bauausfuhrung, nachdem sich beide Firmen
zu einer Arbeits- gemeinschaft Sinoe fur diesen Auf trag
zusammengeschlossen hatten. Herr Direktor Hennings von der Lenz-Bau
AG und Herr Dipl. Ing. Bross von der Firma August Prien
iiberwachten ge- meinsam die Arbeiten ihrer Firmen in Greenville.
Goteborgs ist von 8,0 Mio. t im Jahre 1960 auf 22,1 Mio. t 1969 und
23,5 Mio. t 1970 angestiegen, Wie schon erwahnt, ist Goteborg der
wichtigste Exporthafen Schwedens; die hohe Einfuhrquote beruht auf
MineralOl. Die bisherige Entwicklung des Hafens Goteborg ist ein
Musterbeispiel flir die Moglichkeiten einer dynamischen
Hafenpolitik. Eine Ubersicht iiber den Stand von 1969 bzw. 1970
gibt die Tabelle 6. Zusammenfassung Wer sich mit Entwicklungen und
Planungen, ganz gleich auf welchem Gebiet, befaBt, der weiB urn die
Schwierigkeiten, der im Zeitpunkt der Planung noch unbekannten
Zukunft wenigstens einigermaBen gerecht zu werden. Immerhin gibt
aber eine gute Kenntnis des "Heute" wertvolle Hin weise fiir das
"Morgen. " Da aber das "Heute" nur iibersieht, wer mit dem
"Gestern" vertraut ist, hat der Verfasser versucht, flir ein
spezielles Verkehrsgebiet, namlich den Ostseeraum und hier wiederum
die Umschlagplatze rund urn die Ostsee die Wandlungen aufzuzeigen,
die sich yom "Gestern" zum "Heute" ergeben haben. Bei diesen
Wandlungen in den Hafen haben machtpolitische, ideologische,
handels-und verkehrspolitische Faktoren und in neuester Zeit
technologische Fortschritte im See transportwesen eine Rolle
gespielt. Mit dieser Aufzahlung wird deutlich, daB die Hafen
Objekte mannigfachen Geschehens sind und daB ihr Spielraum fiir
subjektives Handeln nur begrenzt ist. ZusammengefaBt ergeben die
Ausfiihrungen, daB im Ostseeraum eine Reihe gut entwickelter und,
wie man aus Planungen herauslesen kann, aufstrebender Hafen
bestehen, die ihrer individuellen verkehrspoIitischen Situation
entsprechende Aufgaben erfiillen."
