In a similar fashion, within the Church, we find those who are notable ecclesiastical writers, whether by virtue of their saintliness, their orthodoxy, or the eminence of their knowledge. On the other hand, the notion of the thesis points, in conceptual terms, to a proposition which someone presents in order to defend it, a treatise or an original work written in order to obtain the doctoral degree. Whatever meaning is assigned to the above references, it is clear that this publication brings together, in book form, information of the greatest significance about those citizens who, with Mozambique in their hearts, over various years and in various parts of the world, managed to produce a piece of work considered original. The criterion of inclusiveness adopted by the author of this publication reflects the spirit, which should rule among those with a doctorate, since in a country of about 22 million inhabitants citizens with this academic level still constitute “a drop in the ocean.” The Academy of Sciences of Mozambique has equally been guided by the same criterion of inclusiveness, which was one of the principal reasons it came to be associated with this project, which it considered to be of prime importance. We consider it ground-breaking because it offers to many institutions, including the Academy of Sciences of Mozambique, a bibliographical source of incomparable value, for the selection of highly qualified personnel or of their members. In the present context of our country where the main challenge is the struggle against poverty, the author of Doctoral Theses by Mozambicans or about Mozambique presents us with basic information on 454 doctoral theses written by Mozambican men and women and 473 written about Mozambique by foreigners, who have the capacity to present opinions and above all to create solutions for 7 the most urgent and relevant problems which our country is still debating. The author takes a winding but nevertheless meticulous route through the world of knowledge. Starting with the Natural Sciences, and moving through the Arts, Technology and Humanities to Sports Science, readers will encounter in this book a vast range of choice and even selection, depending upon area or objective. It is even more interesting to note that there are in the book studies by both young and older or more experienced intellectuals, in a richer symbiotic relationship revealing the capacity of Mozambicans to produce knowledge independently of their age group. We equally have an offering, which, despite being insufficient as yet for the needs of the country, illustrates the efforts, which the country and some of its citizens and their partners in cooperation have undertaken in education. The Academy of Sciences of Mozambique associated itself with the author in the creation of this data base, motivated by the idea that it could thus contribute to the greater recognition of the role of Science and Technology in development, but above all that the country, namely the State and Civil Society should know, publicize and use the results of its efforts, and the knowledge, skills and potential of its doctorate holders. Maputo, March 2011 Orlando António Quilambo President of the Academy of Sciences of Mozambique 8 Introduction to the first edition (2007) At the time of Mozambique’s Independence (1975) the country had only a few dozens Mozambicans with higher education. Today the country has thousands of ‘licenciados,’ hundreds of masters and more than 300 doctorate holders. Independent Mozambique has invested in educating its populace. The hundreds of doctorate holders are the product of this investment by the State, of international cooperation and of the effort and dedication of teachers at all levels, of the doctorate holders themselves and of their respective families. It is urgent to know this set of citizens, both of those who are inside the country as well as of those who are in the Diaspora in order to value their potential and to maximize their contribution to the development of the Mozambican nation. It should be noted that many of the Mozambicans who concluded a doctorate, did so with distinction (cum laude, magna cum laude and some even summa cum laude). Fulfilling their patriotic duty, the large majority of doctorate holders struggle inside Mozambique for the progress of the country. In order to advance with the creation of public universities in the North and the Centre of the country, it is important to know on whom the nation may count. Who are the national citizens trained in each area? Who are the Mozambicans and foreigners who did research about the North and the Centre of the country? The education of a doctorate holder takes at least twenty years from primary school to the awarding of the degree. Behind each title of a doctoral thesis are hidden thousands of hours of self-sacrificing work, of efforts to obtain new knowledge, of absorption of international patterns of rigor, of living in distinct cultures, of opening new horizons, of generating new perspectives for the future of the country. Confronted with the non-existence of a data base of Mozambique’s highest educated citizens, it seemed me useful, in the context of the creation of a public university in the North of the country (Universidade Lúrio) to compile a repertory of doctoral theses of Mozambicans and to complete it with a list a doctoral theses by 9 foreigners about Mozambique.1 At least twenty-five of my former students concluded already their doctorate. And knowing personally most of the national doctoral holders, it was not difficult to begin the compilation. It was completed by consultations with various colleagues, national institutions and the ‘internet.’ The information was verified as much as possible through the faculties and the libraries of the universities where the doctoral theses were defended. Doctorate holders are indexed in this compilation in two different catalogues, one referring to nationals and the other to foreigners. Their doctoral theses are presented in chronological order, where the year refers, generally, to the year of conclusion of the doctoral thesis. There are cases in which the respective university awards formally the degree of ‘doctor’ in the year following the year of conclusion and submission of the doctoral thesis. The university refers to the academic institution that awarded the degree of doctor. Depending on the conditions under which the study and the preparation of the doctoral thesis was realized, it may happen that the doctorate holder spent several years at the respective university to study and to do research, or it may happen that the doctorate holder went only a few times to that university for consultations or traineeship, or to defend the thesis elaborated in Mozambique. Doctoral theses that have been concluded in the same year are organized in alphabetical order of the surnames of the doctorate holders. As in the original edition of the catalogues, the titles of the doctoral theses are in the language in which they have been written or in Portuguese. In the indices, the authors of the doctoral theses appear in alphabetic order, and by area of research. 1 I had already compiled a similar repertory for the African Mathematical Union. A database with information about 2200 doctoral theses by African mathematicians was concluded: African Doctorates in Mathematics: A Catalogue (Lulu, 2007, ISBN 978-1-4303-1867-5). The book also includes a contribution to the analysis of the mathematical development of the African continent.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

  • The Political Sublime. Reading Kok Nam, Mozambican Photographer (1939-2012)
    The Political Sublime. Reading Kok Nam, Mozambican photographer (1939-2012) RUI ASSUBUJI History Department, University of the Western Cape PATRICIA HAYES History Department, University of the Western Cape Kok Nam began his photographic career at Studio Focus in Lourenço Marques in the 1950s, graduated to the newspaper Notícias and joined Tempo magazine in the early 1970s. Most recently he worked at the journal Savana as a photojournalist and later director. This article opens with an account of the relationship that developed between Kok Nam and the late President Samora Machel, starting with the photo- grapher’s portrait of Machel in Nachingwea in November 1974 before Independence. It traces an arc through the Popular Republic (1976-1990) from political revelation at its inception to the difficult years of civil war and Machel’s death in the plane crash at Mbuzini in 1986. The article then engages in a series of photo-commentaries across a selection of Kok Nam’s photographs, several published in their time but others selected retrospectively by Kok Nam for later exhibition and circulation. The approach taken is that of ‘association’, exploring the connections between the photographs, their histories both then and in the intervening years and other artifacts and mediums of cultural expression that deal with similar issues or signifiers picked up in the images. Among the signifiers picked up in the article are soldiers, pigs, feet, empty villages, washing, doves and bridges. The central argument is that Kok Nam participated with many others in a kind of collective hallucination during the Popular Republic, caught up in the ‘political sublime’.

    WEAPONS AND REFUSE AS MEDIA: THE POTENT POLITICS OF RECYCLING IN CONTEMPORARY MOZAMBICAN URBAN ARTS By AMY SCHWARTZOTT A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2014 © 2014 Amy Schwartzott To Mom and Pop Thank you! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many individuals and institutions have made this dissertation possible from my earliest fieldwork in Africa in 2007 to the completion of this document in 2013. First and foremost I thank my dissertation advisor, Victoria Rovine. Vicki has seen this project through since its nascency and has provided indefatigable support, necessary critical comments, and advice. Robin Poynor has been equally indispensible in his constant willingness to provide wisdom and astute commentary at all stages of my research and writing process. Many thanks also to my committee members Fiona McLaughlin and Guolang Lai, who offered support and guidance along the way. Fiona assisted my first African journey to Dakar, and through Guolong’s advisement I unexpectedly learned how contemporary Chinese art would make an impact on my understanding of African art. I am grateful for institutional support that has provided me with funding, allowing me to travel and complete fieldwork research in Dakar, South Africa, London, and Mozambique. The U.S. Department of Education provided funding for my lengthiest stay in Mozambique (2010- 2011) with a Fulbright-Hays DDRA Grant. The University of Florida has generously provided several travel grants that have facilitated research trips to Mozambique (2008-2010) through the Center of African Studies, where I received support and encouragement from Leo Villalón and Todd Leedy.
