Use of the multinomial jack-knife and bootstrap in generalized non-linear canonical correlation analysis

In this paper we discuss the estimation of mean and standard errors of the eigenvalues and category quantifications in generalized non-linear canonical correlation analysis (OVERALS). Starting points are the delta method equations, but the jack-knife and bootstrap are used to provide finite difference approximations to the derivatives

Regionalismo y nacionalismo en el siglo XIX : la batalla de los conceptos (País Vasco, Flandes y Frisia)

Este artículo trata de la evolución de los movimientos regionalistas y nacionalistas periféricos en la Europa del siglo XIX a partir de tres casos concretos: País Vasco, Frisia y Flandes. Nuestro análisis coteja dos elementos: uno, la terminología empleada por los propios protagonistas para referirse a sus territorios, y dos, los conceptos que se manejan en la literatura académica para interpretar aquellos discursos. Constatamos que existe una gran ambigüedad al identificar el regionalismo y el nacionalismo, lo que induce a confusión a la hora de realizar estudios comparativos. Aportamos una propuesta para operar con precisión conceptual en esos campos: es preciso recurrir a definiciones de partida que aclaren cómo entendemos cada fenómeno, y es conveniente combinar una interpretación de las culturas tanto en sus propios términos como mediante herramientas analíticas que, aun no existiendo necesariamente en aquel tiempo o lugar, tengan un significado que describa aquellas inquietudes de nuestros antepasados.Aquest article tracta de l'evolució dels moviments regionalistes i nacionalistes perifèrics a l'Europa del segle XIX a partir de tres casos concrets: País Basc, Frisia i Flandes.

Our analysis confronts two elements: the terminology used by the protagonists themselves talking about their territories and the concepts used in the academic literature to disclose those discourses. We have found that there is great ambiguity in identifying regionalism and nationalism, which leads to confusion when comparative studies are carried out. We offer a proposal to operate with conceptual precision in these fields: it is necessary to use starting definitions that clarify how we understand each phenomenon, and it is convenient to combine an interpretation of the cultures both in their own terms and through analytical tools that, though not necessarily existing in that time or place, have a meaning that describes those concerns of our ancestors

Social Sustainability, Past and Future

For a professional, educated non-academic audience, this book asks how our societies were caught in a socio-economic dynamic causing the sustainability conundrum. It develops an original view of social evolution as the history of human information-processing, studying the past to understand the present in order to deal with the future.

Alfons Dipenbrok i svet kompozitora fin-de-siècle-a

The article consists of three parts. In the first part the author gives a survey of the large artistic renewal that took place in the Netherlands around 1900. Special attention is given to "de beweging van Tachtig" (the movement of the "Tachtigers"), a renewal movement in literature in which the composer Alphons Diepenbrock was involved. In the second part a short description of the life and work of this most important Dutch composer of the end of the nineteenth century is given. In his early years Diepenbrock orientated himself to composers like Wagner, especially around the First World War (in which the Netherlands remained a neutral country), and he became a fervent admirer of French art. His music is a unique synthesis of Wagner's chromaticism, the word-bound rhythms of plain-chant and the polyphonic music of the old Flemish schools of Ockeghem and Josquin. In the third part the author deals with a couple of Diepenbrock's (artistic) contacts. There are highlights on Mahler, Schönberg and Debussy, primarily based on their correspondence.Poslednje dve decenije 19. veka u Holandiji bile su obeležene novim procvatom kulture i umetnosti. Istaknuto mesto u umetničkom životu je zauzimala grupa umetnika okupljena oko "Beweging van Tachtig" na amsterdamskom univerzitetu. Ovi umetnici, među kojima je jedini muzičar bio Alfons Dipenbrok (1862-1921) suprotstavljali su se starijoj generaciji romantičara i okretali se idejama l'art-pour-l'art-a. Dipenbrok potiče iz pobožne katoličke porodice. Završio je studije klasičnih jezika, dok je u muzici bio skoro samouk. Većina njegovih dela je vokalna. Težio je sintezi vagnerovske hromatizacije i polifonije Đ. P. Palestrine i J. S. Baha. Njegovo prvo zapaženo delo bila je Missa in die festo (1895) za tenor, osmoglasni muški hor i orgulje. Tokom vremena sve više ga je privlačio svetao latinski svet kompozitora kao što je K. Debisi, što se ogleda u nekim njegovim delima, na primer muzici za komad Marsijas (1910). Sačuvana je Dipenbrokova korespondencija sa G. Malerom i A. Šenbergom. Sa Malerom se upoznao 1903. godine a svaki njihov kasniji susret bio je prilika da se prijateljstvo potvrdi. Godine 1910. Dipenbrok je u Amsterdamu dirigovao Malerovim delom koje je naročito voleo - IV simfonijom. Bio je na Malerovoj sahrani u Beču sledeće godine. Godine 1912. Dipenbrok je upoznao A. Šenberga koji je došao u Amsterdam da bi izveo svoju simfonijsku poemu Peleas i Melizanda. Iz dnevnika Dipenbrokove žene mogu se saznati detalji o razgovorima koje su vodili, posebno o Maleru. Šenbergu se dopao Dipenbrokov Te Deum, pa je odmah pisao F. Šrekeru da bi ga zamolio da se angažuje oko izvođenja ovog dela u Beču. Međutim, do realizacije te ideje nije nikada došlo, što je Dipenbrok prokomentarisao na svoj karakteristično skroman način u pismu Šenbergu od 8. januara 1913. godine, u kojem se pita da li će ikada ući u krug muzičkih heroja. Ostalo je i pisano svedočanstvo o Šenbergovoj poseti Dipenbroku u martu 1914. godine, kada njihovom razgovoru nisu mogli da prisustvuju tada još sasvim mladi A. Berg i A. Vebern, koji su morali da ostanu pred vratima kuće
