University Jubilees and University History Writing
Researching and writing its history has always been one of the tasks of the university, particularly on the occasion of anniversary celebrations. Through case studies of Prague (1848, 1948), Oslo (1911), Cluj (from 1919), Leipzig (2009) and Trondheim (2010), this book shows the continuity of the close relationship between jubilees and university historiography and the impact of this interaction on the jubilee publications and academic heritage. Up to today, historians are faced with the challenge of finding a balance between an engaged, celebratory approach and a more distant, academically critical one. In its third part, the book aims to go beyond the jubilee and presents three other ways of writing university history, by focusing on the university as an educational institution. Contributors are: Thomas Brandt, Pieter Dhondt, Marek Ďurčanský, Jonas Flöter, Jorunn Sem Fure, Trude Maurer, Emmanuelle Picard, Ana-Maria Stan and Johan Östling.
Imbalanced Classification with Python
Imbalanced classification are those classification tasks where the distribution of examples across the classes is not equal. Cut through the equations, Greek letters, and confusion, and discover the specialized techniques data preparation techniques, learning algorithms, and performance metrics that you need to know. Using clear explanations, standard Python libraries, and step-by-step tutorial lessons, you will discover how to confidently develop robust models for your own imbalanced classification projects.
Linguistic Authority, Language Ideology, and Metaphor
How does a country find itself 'at war' over spelling? This book focuses on a crucial juncture in the post-communist history of the Czech Republic, when an orthographic commission with a moderate reformist agenda found itself the focus of enormous public controversy. Delving back into history, Bermel explores the Czech nation's long tradition of intervention and its association with the purity of the language, and how in the twentieth century an ascendant linguistic school - Prague Functionalism - developed into a progressive but centralizing ideology whose power base was inextricably linked to the communist regime. Bermel looks closely at the reforms of the 1990s and the heated public react...
Three Colors of My Life
An incredible, true story of a Holocaust survivor. When your world collapses around you, when your family is exterminated and your life is worth less than a dog's life, what do you do to survive? Young, David Tenenbaum chooses an unusual path to survival...Equipped with the false Arian identity papers, he goes where only non-Jews would risk going at the time--he volunteers for work in Germany, in their Arbeit camps. What does he need to do to survive? How close is far enough from death? From Nazi Germany we are taken to the communist post-war Poland where we gain insight to the operations of the communist regime. Three Colors of My Life is a fascinating story of personal experience set on the background of the largest state organized mass ethnic cleansing in history.
Null Subjects in Slavic and Finno-Ugric
Even though null subjects have been extensively studied in the past four decades, there is a growing interest in partial null subject languages (e.g. Finnish) and a subtler classification of null subject phenomena overall. This volume aims at contributing to this trend, focusing on Slavic and Finno-Ugric groups, with some extension to Baltic and Samoyedic languages. Interestingly, these groups offer an impressive array of macro- and microvariation. Moreover, given an increasing interest towards the internal structure of the pronominal elements and the role of various types of topics in the left periphery of the sentence structure, the enterprise taken up in this book is to investigate lexica...
Prague
Eleven-year-old Vasya Gergiev suffers at the hands of monsters both in the house where he is held prisoner and on the streets of Prague. Taken from a Polish orphanage by Tomek Markovic, a minor player in a major child prostitution operation across Europe, Vasya undergoes the physical and mental anguish of sexual abuse. Undercover police of?cer Yuri Seminkov has managed to in?ltrate the child smuggling organization headed by Markovic, his task being to arrange the purchase and sale of ‘merchandise’ that Markovic procures from orphanages. But until he can obtain enough evidence to put Markovic behind bars – or worse – Seminkov is powerless to aid the children that are forced into submission training sessions for Markovic’s clients. Vasya’s life is altered when he encounters a couple who, for their own reasons as well as his, decide to help him escape the brutality of his captor. But Tomek has other plans in store for the runaway, and it is up to Yuri to make sure Vasya will no longer fall victim to Tomek, his clients or anyone else.
House Churches in Post-Communist Europe
This is an exploration of house churches, especially in Poland. The book begins with a review of literature about the “global house church movement” and continues with an article on the early Christian transition from house churches to purpose-built buildings for churches. Next is an article regarding the concept of “sacred space” in relation to house churches. The first half concludes with a chapter on methodology of research for a qualitative interview approach to studying house churches. The thesis then presents a theological method for using the qualitative interviews to develop ecclesiology. Sixteen interviews from thirteen house churches are presented. The thesis continues the theological method by attempting to answer the question “why is it going on” and presents a thematic analysis from the qualitative interviews that includes input from sociological research done in Poland. The thesis concludes by using scriptural and academic sources in conversation with house church interviews from the interviews and global house church literature to present four primary conclusions in a practical-prophetic ecclesiology.
