Moving past: probing the agency and affect of recordkeeping in individual and community lives in post-conflict Croatia
Reporting on ongoing research, this paper reviews stories, drawn from recent literature as well as gathered through ethnographic research, that people tell about records and recordkeeping during and since the Yugoslav Wars. It focuses on what these stories reveal of the agency and affect of recordkeeping in individual and community lives, particularly in Croatia. The paper concludes with a contemplation of what might be learned from such an approach for the development of recordkeeping infrastructures that can anticipate, avert or alleviate some of the ways in which records and recordkeeping continue to traumatize or target the vulnerable, and frustrate and prevent the human and societal need to "move forward," if not "move past." © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht

Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Fine Structure in Polarized Ni K X-Ray Absorption Spectra of NiO Single Crystals
EXAFS studies of the local atomic structure of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramics KxNa1 xNbO3 over the temperature range 10-1023 K
International audienceWe use the x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy at Nb K edge to reveal the local atomic structure of KxNa1−xNbO3 (PSN) solid solutions. The study is performed over the temperature range 10-1023 K for six different x values. We show that only the combined analysis of extended x-ray absorption fine structure and preedge fine structure provides complete and reliable information about the local structure of NbO6 octahedra. Such extensive treatment of the experimental data shows that the local structure of PSN could be described within the spherical model proposed earlier as a hypothesis for perovskite-type ferroelectric zirconates. We reveal that the Nb atoms are localized near their average positions on the sphere surfaces for all temperatures and x values. With regard to previous results we point out the features of microscopic structure common for PSN and perovskite-type zirconates
