Cultural studies is a future-oriented discipline, but it at best maintains tangential connections to futurism, a field of study devoted to the systematic study of the future. Why? This essay endeavors to answer that question. It explores how cultural studies has conceptualized ‘the future’ and identifies some of the limits of those conceptions. The article then speculates on what futurism and cultural studies might gain from more robust and purposeful integration.

This article offers a review of the most salient studies on Latin American social movements published in the last 25 years. It not only assesses the questions and empirical implications that these studies have uncovered, but it also points out theoretical and empirical puzzles that are currently investigated or are yet to be examined. In doing so, this article reviews two type of studies: those that in the author's opinion cover the most salient movements in the region and those that offer us most promising propositions for the development of the subfield in the future. With this review, the author hopes to open the debate and help include Latin American social movements within the systematic study of comparative social mobilization in sociology and comparative politics.

Article addresses the theoretical meaning of artistic conventionality. Its fundamental role in painting is undeniable and is to be not only familiarised with, but also studied thoroughly. The mastering of a complex and voluminous morphology of artistic conventionality alongside the lack of literature sources concerning its features in the visual arts, in particular in painting, which is the main object of our attention, are laborious parts of this process. The article: a) proposes the introduction of three steps in the study of conventionality at the initial stages of training with a detailed description of the general provisions on artistic conventionality, in order to ensure a conflict-free process of mastering a complex body of knowledge in the future; b) provides selection of the information from its total amount concerning the artistic conventionality in fine arts, emphasising its presence in painting. The article realises the intention to supplement the information on artistic conventionality with the analysis of the class and genre indicators of painting. The systematic study of artistic conventionality is becoming a factual way enabling us to enrich the level of professional literacy of students - future teachers and practising artists.

In this paper, we perform an systematic study of the radiative transitions among the bottomonium states using the heavy quarkonium effective Lagrangians, and make predictions for the ratios among the radiative decay widths of a special multiplet to another multiplet. The predictions can be confronted with the experimental data in the future.

A detailed systematic study of calcareous nannofossils was carried out for the Jaddala Formation in (Aj-10) well, Central Iraq. Seventy one species belong to twenty four genera of calcareous nannofossils were identified including sixty two of them were previously named and nine species were identified for the first time and they would not be given names until more information is obtained in the future to support this identification. It is a recorded of five biostratigraphic zone, which suggested the age of the Jaddala Formation to be of early to late Eocene. The recorded biozone includes the following: Reticulofenestra dictyoda (Deflandre in Deflandre & Fert, 1954) Stradner & Edwards, 1968 Partial Range Biozone (CNE 5); Discoaster sublodoensis Bramlette and Sullivan, 1961 Interval biozone (CNE 6-7); Nannotetrina cristata (Martini, 1958) Perch-Nielsen, 1971 Interval biozone (CNE 8); Nannotetrina alata (Martini in Martini & Stradner, 1960) Haq and Lohmann, 1976 Interval biozone (CNE 9); Chiasmolithus gigas Bramlette & Sullivan, 1961Range Biozone (CNE 10-11).

The citations process for scientific papers has been studied extensively. But while the citations accrued by authors are the sum of the citations of their papers, translating the dynamics of citation accumulation from the paper to the author level is not trivial. Here we conduct a systematic study of the evolution of author citations, and in particular their bursty dynamics. We find empirical evidence of a correlation between the number of citations most recently accrued by an author and the number of citations they receive in the future. Using a simple model where the probability for an author to receive new citations depends only on the number of citations collected in the previous 12–24 months, we are able to reproduce both the citation and burst size distributions of authors across multiple decades.

Providing dynamic resources is based on the virtualization features of the cloud environment. Cloud computing as an emerging technology uses a high availability of services at any time, in any place and independent of the hardware. However, fault tolerance is one of the main problems and challenges in cloud computing. This subject has an important effect on cloud computing, but, as far as we know, there is not a comprehensive and systematic study in this field. Accordingly, in this paper, the existing methods and mechanisms are discussed in different groups, such as proactive and reactive, types of fault detection, etc. Various fault tolerance techniques are provided and discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are shown on the basis of the technology that they have used. Generally, the contributions of this research provide a summary of the available challenges associated with fault tolerance, a description of several important fault tolerance methods in the cloud computing and the key regions for the betterment of fault tolerance techniques in the future works. The advantages and disadvantages of the selected articles in each category are also highlighted and their significant challenges are discussed to provide the research lines for further studies.

We have selected a PPN candidates sample from IRAS color-color diagram. The selected criteria, the objects list of whole sample and photometric and spectroscopic observational results for southern objects have been published (paper I, Hu et al, 1993), and CO and OH maser observations for the total sample are published in 1994 (paper II, Hu et al, 1994). The 20 northern objects were observed. The optical photometric observations were taken at the J. Kapteyn telescope with CCD camera, infrared photometric observations were obtained with 1.26 meter infrared telescope at Xinglong station, Beijing Observatory, and spectroscopic observational observations were carried out using the FOS attached on the 2.5 meter Issac Newton telescope in 1989; in 1996 and 2001 we re-observed these objects using 2.16 m telescope and OMR spectroscopy at Xinglong station, Beijing Observatory. We have not found any variations between two epochs for most objects in their optical spectra except IRAS 19367+2458. The spectra we obtained in 1989 IRAS 19367+2458 is a planetary nebula with [WC] core star (Hu and Dong, 1992), but in our spectra obtained in 1996 and 2001 it is a M-type star. There are two possibilities: 1. We made mistakes of identification, if so, where is the planetary nebula? 2. It varies, but we can not find any difference in the spectra obtained in 1996 and 2001. The question is still open, more observations are needed in the future.

This chapter presents the factors that influence the career of the systems administrator in the context of the organizations, namely the roles and the responsibilities. The objective is to provide a contribution to the future systems administrators, employers, and academics to better understand what factors influence the role of the systems administrator. The approaches to identify the main concepts are based on the past experience of the authors in the information technology systems area, a systematic study of professional groups, and a study about academic entities. As a result, the authors present a conceptual view to frame the roles and responsibilities of the systems’ administrator in the context of his/her instruction and the organizations where he/she works.
