Currently a new underwater hyperspectral imager (UHI) have been deployed on Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) for a more automated identification, mapping and monitoring of bio-geo-chemical objects of ...interest (OOI). Sea floor maps based on UHI can be used to classify 001 based on specific optical fingerprints providing spectral upwelling radiance or reflectance with up to 1 nm spectral resolution in the visible range for each image pixel. Different habitats comprising soft bottom, deep and cold water coral reefs, sponge habitats, pipeline monitoring and kelp forest maps are examples for UHI-based mapping. Characterising material surface on man-made objects such as corrosion on pipelines and subsea structures and archaeological objects are other examples. The overall image quality and identification success of OOI can be optimized if movements of the ROV is controlled by a dynamic position (DP) system and corresponding speed, altitude, pitch, roll and yaw control. Likewise, illumination control is important to provide proper light intensity, spectral composition and illumination evenness of OOI to enhance data quality. The benefits of using UHI for seafloor habitat mapping can be evaluated by four categories of resolution. These are A) spatial resolution (image pixel size), B) spectral resolution (1-10 nm, 400-800 nm), C) radiometric resolution (dynamic range, bits per pixel), and D) temporal resolution for time-series and monitoring. These categories of resolution are discussed with respect to OOI identification and mapping using different case examples.
With Flags of Our Fathers (2006) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), Clint Eastwood made a unique contribution to film history, being the first director to make two films about the same event. ...Eastwood's films examine the battle over Iwo Jima from two nations' perspectives, in two languages, and embody a passionate view on conflict, enemies, and heroes. Together these works tell the story behind one of history's most famous photographs, Leo Rosenthal's "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima." In this volume, international scholars in political science and film, literary, and cultural studies undertake multifaceted investigations into how Eastwood's diptych reflects war today. Fifteen essays explore the intersection among war films, American history, and Japanese patriotism. They present global attitudes toward war memories, icons, and heroism while offering new perspectives on cinema, photography, journalism, ethics, propaganda, war strategy, leadership, and the war on terror.
Intermittently, the chronological observation is punctuated by small sequences in which the kids recite poems or read aloud their written assignments to the flow of observing images. ... the film ...mainly falls into Bill Nichols category of the observational documentary, but the children's voice-overs add a poetic tone to Lessons from a Calf.

This chapter focuses on the manoeuvres of the Danish film trade in the face of the German occupation from April 1940 to May 1945, as it played out in the executive offices and behind the cameras. I ...argue that, generally speaking, the Danish film bosses allowed business interests to overrule ideological concerns and that they did so with impunity. The chapter is based on extensive archival research in German and Danish archives and draws on my previously published book Dansk film under nazismen (Danish Film during Nazism, Sørensen 2014, untranslated).

...ideas and concepts of the supernatural are-at one level-surprisingly uniform across different cultures, and this, of course, facilitates the transmission of tales about the supernatural (cf. ...Deciding the answer and the appropriate action to those four Fs has been crucial to the reproduction of the human species for millennia. ...it is no surprise, seen from the perspective of evolution history, that these concerns are important to contemporary humans. ...anime often deals with unlikely characters, most importantly children in 'un-childlike' situations. ...cognition and culture, or nature and nurture, are not opposing forces, and should not be pitted against each other; they are interlocking features of universal mankind.
Sorensen comments on the state of affairs concerning Japanese Studies in Denmark, which at present, are declining in popularity. Among other things, he mentions that the question may be of making ...institutes realize that Japan does exist, and in nurturing students and helping them develop ideas for PhD-projects that stand a chance of receiving funding in competition with projects from other university disciplines.
