Benjamin’s gamble: commodifying life in the age of heroic demise by Stephanie Polsky

“…He associated the rise of fascist terror with a breakdown of the threshold that separated the living from the dead, a threshold that had become increasingly ambiguous with the modern advent of global colonial warfare and the attendant call for the total mobilisation of entire civil populations. Benjamin became fascinated with charting the social narrative of the future dead, whether they existed in a celebrated state as it was the case with heroic suicide or as tragic disposable bodies that National Socialism would eventually excise by deeming them unworthy of life. …”

Influence of nominal distortion of Beidou-3 B1C signal on ranging performance by Xue WANG, Yao GUO, Yongnan RAO, Xiaochun LU, Li KANG

“…The B1C signal is selected as a civil navigation signal for the BDS-3 system,which adopts a complex constant envelope modulation in the B1 frequency band.Therefore,it is easy to generate nominal distortion during signal generation.Such nominal distortion of each satellite produces inconsistent ranging deviation and directly degrades the system positioning performance.A complete ranging deviation estimation method was proposed for B1C signals in this paper.Firstly,the S-Curve Bias (SCB) was used to quantitatively analyze the B1C signal ranging deviation,and the standard correlation curve estimation method was proposed to realize the accurate estimation of the code phase deviation at the peak of the correlation curve.Secondly,a algorithm was designed to solve the problem of QMBOC signal mislocking at the platform during receiver tracking.Finally,the actual ranging bias and nature ranging bias of each satellite of Beidou-3 under different correlation intervals and front-end bandwidth of the user receiver were analyzed based on the satellite downlink signals collected from the 40-meter high-gain antenna at the National Time Service Center,and the recommended user receiver parameter range was given.The strategy proposed in this paper can be extended to other MBOC signal ranging error estimation,and the test results can be thought of as a reference to the development of BeiDou-3 receiver.…”

De Centros Cívicos a Juntas de Acción Comunal. El cambio de modelo de gestión y participación barrial en Medellín en la segunda mitad del siglo XX by Juan Carlos Moreno Orozco

“…En Medellín, se crearon los Centros Cívicos en 1938, figura política barrial que tuvo una amplia cobertura e influjo en los pobladores y en las relaciones con las autoridades municipales; sin embargo, la aparición de las Juntas de Acción Comunal (JAC) en 1959, bajo preceptos internacionales y del Frente Nacional, instaura la confrontación de liderazgo en algunas zonas de la ciudad y reestructura la forma de comunicación entre la sociedad civil y el Estado. Bajo los enfoques de la historia social se describe el difícil trance de Centros Cívicos a Juntas de Acción Comunal, las posiciones de las autoridades, el discurso procomunitario, su impacto en los barrios y su importancia en la configuración de la ciudad.…”
