![]() The pandemic has also deepened the western monopoly of science-publishing, "by August 2021, at least 210,000 new papers on covid-19 had been published, according to a Royal Society study. Preprints servers become much popular during the pandemic, the Covid situation has an impact also on traditional peer-review. The COVID-19 pandemic hijacked the entire world of basic and clinical science, with unprecedented shifts in funding priorities worldwide and a boom in medical publishing, accompanied by an unprecedented increase in the number of publications. It was not until the middle of the 20th century that peer review became the standard. The Royal Society was steadfast in its not-yet-popular belief that science could only move forward through a transparent and open exchange of ideas backed by experimental evidence.Įarly scientific journals embraced several models: some were run by a single individual who exerted editorial control over the contents, often simply publishing extracts from colleagues' letters, while others employed a group decision-making process, more closely aligned to modern peer review. ![]() The decline in contested claims for priority in research discoveries can be credited to the increasing acceptance of the publication of papers in modern academic journals, with estimates suggesting that around 50 million journal articles have been published since the first appearance of the Philosophical Transactions. The number of disputes dropped to 72% in the 18th century, 59% by the latter half of the 19th century, and 33% by the first half of the 20th century. Merton, a sociologist, found that 92% of cases of simultaneous discovery in the 17th century ended in dispute. It was not at all unusual for a new discovery to be announced as a monograph, reserving priority for the discoverer, but indecipherable for anyone not in on the secret: both Isaac Newton and Leibniz used this approach. At that time, the act of publishing academic inquiry was controversial and widely ridiculed. The publishing of academic journals has started in the 17th century, and expanded greatly in the 19th. The first issue appeared as a twelve-page quarto pamphlet on Monday, 5 January 1665, shortly before the first appearance of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, on 6 March 1665. Its content included obituaries of famous men, church history, and legal reports. The Journal des sçavans (later spelled Journal des savants), established by Denis de Sallo, was the earliest academic journal published in Europe. Some important results in mathematics have been published only on arXiv. The Internet has facilitated open access self-archiving, in which authors themselves make a copy of their published articles available free for all on the web. Many open or closed journals fund their operations without such fees and others use them in predatory publishing. ![]() In open access publishing, a journal article is made available free for all on the web by the publisher at the time of publication.īoth open and closed journals are sometimes funded by the author paying an article processing charge, thereby shifting some fees from the reader to the researcher or their funder. An important trend, particularly with respect to journals in the sciences, is open access via the Internet. Since the early 1990s, licensing of electronic resources, particularly journals, has been very common. Business models are different in the electronic environment. Īcademic publishing is undergoing major changes as it makes the transition from the print to the electronic format. In the sciences, the desire for statistically significant results leads to publication bias. ![]() Along with the variation in review and publication procedures, the kinds of publications that are accepted as contributions to knowledge or research differ greatly among fields and subfields. There is also a tendency for existing journals to divide into specialized sections as the field itself becomes more specialized. Most established academic disciplines have their own journals and other outlets for publication, although many academic journals are somewhat interdisciplinary, and publish work from several distinct fields or subfields. Peer review quality and selectivity standards vary greatly from journal to journal, publisher to publisher, and field to field. Most scientific and scholarly journals, and many academic and scholarly books, though not all, are based on some form of peer review or editorial refereeing to qualify texts for publication. The part of academic written output that is not formally published but merely printed up or posted on the Internet is often called " grey literature". Most academic work is published in academic journal articles, books or theses. Scientific and technical journal publications per million residents of the world as of 2013Īcademic publishing is the subfield of publishing which distributes academic research and scholarship. ![]() She was 14 and he was 17 when they got married – and he said, 'Man, I have done exactly what I'm supposed to my whole life. He said those exact words to me one time at the Red Lobster here in Bloomington. ![]() Jackson Jackson is based on my Uncle Jay. They're doing what they're supposed to do. Because some of these young guys are thinking, 'Well, I'm doing what I want to do' – but that's not true. Of "The Real Life," Mellencamp told Creem magazine in 1987: "When I sing about Jackson Jackson (in 'The Real Life') – unless you know what it's like to spend your whole life or the majority of your young adulthood doing what you're supposed to do, then you can't relate to it. The risk of making music counter to the mainstream of rock music paid off with the album's success. The sound on the album was a departure from Mellencamp's previous albums and included many traditional folk and country instruments in order to make his audience aware of the "once-familiar social landscape" of folk music. The sessions were produced by Mellencamp with Don Gehman and were engineered by Gehman and David Leonard. The sessions for The Lonesome Jubilee took place at Mellencamp's Belmont Mall Studio in Belmont, Indiana from September 1986 to June 1987, a period of nine months. While the album was being recorded, Riva Records had ceased to function, so Mellencamp moved to Mercury Records (which, like Riva, was distributed by PolyGram), which would continue to release material by Mellencamp until 1998. On Octo– during the period in which The Lonesome Jubilee was being recorded – Mellencamp's uncle Joe died of cancer at the age of 57, which greatly influenced the album. But we had a very clear idea of what we wanted it to sound like, even before it was written, right through to the day it was mastered." Background Now, in the past, it was always 'Let's make it up as we go along' – and we did make some of The Lonesome Jubilee up as we went along. So I just put those songs on a shelf, and cut it back down to a single record. ![]() At one point, The Lonesome Jubilee was supposed to be a double album, but at least 10 of the songs I'd written just didn't stick together with the idea and the sound we had in mind. We had a very distinct vision of what should be happening here. "For the first time ever, we talked about the record before we started. "We were on the road for a long time after Scarecrow, so we were together a lot as a band," Mellencamp said in a 1987 Creem Magazine feature. The album was most successful in Canada where it topped RPM magazine's Top Albums chart and became the artist's highest certified album by Music Canada (formerly the Canadian Recording Industry Association) becoming 6× platinum. The album was one of Mellencamp's most successful worldwide, charting in ten countries. Four singles were released from the album, the first two in 1987 and the last two in 1988. The album was released by Mercury Records on Aug(see 1987 in music). The Lonesome Jubilee is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, credited as John Cougar Mellencamp.

The last day I was graced with his presence was at my prom a month before his demise. This was obviously why Tim loved the carnival so much. It too was nomadic, wild and loud with a constant cycle of new faces passing by - he was very much the living embodiment of it. We drunkenly danced like mad fools on an entirely empty floor, putting on a comedy show of sorts for onlookers who were already winding down for the night.Only he could pull that out of me. He was never concerned though, because he really did have more friends than he could shake a stick at (another of his favourite phrases). He preferred to let the wind blow him around to new people and places instead, never knowing what his next meal was or when or where it would be. ![]() Tim wasn't much for owning things unless they were his favourite movies or music, things he could and would give away before long (with the exception of Little Timmy, his pet iguana, and his mini chopper which was short lived) since he was a true modern day nomad and didn't have a place of his own to keep his things. He didn't like to hold a job for too long and usually got bored of it once he made all the friends he could. Tim was smarter than the average bear (one of his favourite things to say) and worked out so much he looked almost chipped from stone. He was extremely charismatic and often demanded the attention of a room with his presence and strong, magnetic personality. He was young and taken from us far too soon, and the world is a lesser place without him. One of his virtues was that he was unapologetically himself. I don't want to paint him as a saint or a perfect person because nobody is, and honestly it would be a disservice to his character to do so. Tim McLean was a short man - something he'd put on his "tall clothes" and knock me around for saying that - but he was larger than life. ![]() In solely aerobic exercise, there is sufficient oxygen for a person's muscles to produce all the necessary energy for the exercise. An exercise intensity level of 55-85% of MHR for 20-30 minutes is generally recommended to attain the best results from aerobic exercise. Generally, anaerobic exercises (~80-90% MHR) involve short, intense bursts of activity while aerobic exercises (~70-80% MHR) involve light activity sustained over a long period of time. These types of exercise mainly differ based on the duration and the intensity of muscular contractions and the manner in which energy is generated within the muscle. ![]() Refer to the figure below for further detail.Īerobic and anaerobic exercise are often mentioned in the context of endurance training and running. Note that an exercise intensity level of 60-70% of maximum heart rate is considered the ideal range for burning fat. Nevertheless, MHR determined using the above formula is often used to prescribe exercise training heart rate ranges, and can be beneficial as a reference. Furthermore, MHRs vary significantly between individuals, even those with highly similar training and age within the same sport. The most commonly cited formula for calculating MHR is:Īlthough it is the most commonly cited formula, and is often used to determine heart rate training zones, it does not have a reference to any standard deviation, and is not considered a good predictor of MHR by reputable health and fitness professionals. ![]() As such, there are many estimates for MHR based on age, which is strongly correlated with heart rate, though there is little consensus regarding which formula should be used. These tests typically range from ten to twenty minutes in duration, which can be inconvenient. Maximum heart rate (MHR) is most accurately measured using a cardiac stress test, which involves measuring a person's heart function (including heart rate) at periodically increasing levels of exercise. Generally, a lower RHR indicates more efficient heart function, though RHRs that are lower than 50 bpm can be a sign of an underlying heart condition or disease. Typical adult resting heart rates (RHR) are commonly cited to range from 60-100 beats per minute (bpm), though there is some argument that normal RHRs actually fall within the range of 50-90 bpm. Some of the more notable measurements of heart rate include resting heart rate and maximum heart rate, which are often used to estimate specific target heart rate zones to determine different levels of exercise. Heart rate can be measured in different ways, from using devices such as heart rate monitors, to simply looking at a watch while measuring pulse at some peripheral point such as the wrist or neck. Measuring and Estimating Heart Rate and Heart Rate Zones: The use of both in training can help a person improve performance, avoid over-training, as well as track progress and fitness over time. Pace and heart rate have a positive correlation higher pace corresponds to higher heart rate. Pace is a rate of activity or movement, while heart rate is measured as the number of times that a person's heart contracts over a minute. Typical Races and World Record Paces Category The following calculator can be used to estimate a person's finish time based on the time and distance covered in a race at the point the calculator is used. For example, if a person runs from point A to point B, then to point C, records the time at each point, and subsequently determines the distance between those points (using many available websites, applications, or maps), the multipoint calculator can determine how fast the person traveled between each pair of points, allowing use for training purposes a person can run the same route (or distance) repeatedly and track pace over that given route, enabling comparison of times between each segment (or lap) to identify areas for potential improvement. The following calculator can determine the pace of segments of a run (or other activity) for those with access to the time at intermittent points during the run. For example, the time 5 minutes 3 seconds does not need to be entered as 00:05:03, and can be entered as 5:3. Note that placeholder zeros do not need to be entered in the "Time" or "Pace" field. ![]() Kate lives in Los Angeles while her daughter resides in New York where she is pursuing her career, and Kate also spent time in Canada filming where entry restrictions were incredibly tight.
