TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

  • Title of Thesis: ABSTRACT CLASSIFYING BIAS
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: CLASSIFYING BIAS IN LARGE MULTILINGUAL CORPORA VIA CROWDSOURCING AND TOPIC MODELING Team BIASES: Brianna Caljean, Katherine Calvert, Ashley Chang, Elliot Frank, Rosana Garay Jáuregui, Geoffrey Palo, Ryan Rinker, Gareth Weakly, Nicolette Wolfrey, William Zhang Thesis Directed By: Dr. David Zajic, Ph.D. Our project extends previous algorithmic approaches to finding bias in large text corpora. We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

Brünn, 1. 3. 2019 ……………………………. JUDr. Jakub Valc 2 Danksagung Auf dieser Stelle möchte ich mich bei Herrn Mgr. Pavel Váňa, Ph.D., für seine wissenschaftliche Leitung und nützliche Ratschläge bedanken. Außerdem gehört mein Dank auch meiner Familie und allen Personen, die mich während des Studiums finanziell oder emotional unterstützt haben. 3 Abstract Diese Bachelorarbeit betrifft die Zeitperiode des sog. Protektorats Böhmen und Mähren, also die Zeit der Besatzung des ehemaligen Tschechoslowakischen Staates durch das Deutsche Reich. Innerhalb ihrer Bearbeitung beschäftige ich mich im Kontext mit den historischen Umständen nicht nur mit der Entstehung dieser Gebietseinheit, sondern auch mit ihrem staatspolitischen Aufbau und Regelung des öffentlichen Lebens. Dies hatte nämlich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg eine große Wirkung auf die Formulierung des Rechtsdenkens und auf den Menschenrechtsschutz. Zuerst richte ich meine Aufmerksamkeit auf die Problematik des Aufstiegs des Nationalsozialismus in Deutschland und seine Expansion auf das tschechoslowakische Hoheitsgebiet als Folge des Münchner Abkommens. Dann werden die rechtliche Entstehung und das Funktionieren des Protektorats Böhmen und Mähren dargestellt, was besonders mit der Übernahme und Anwendung der Rassengesetzgebung zusammenhängt.

  • The Following Information, Which Was Not a Part of This File, Was Provided by Another US Government Agency in 2003 As Responsive to the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act
    The following information, which was not a part of this file, was provided by another US Government agency in 2003 as responsive to the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act Pannwitz, Heinz SS-Hauptsturmfiihrer (Captain) Heinz Pannwitz served in the Criminal Police in Berlin from 1936 to 1940. In 1940 Pannwitz was transferred to the Gestapo office in Prague. Pannwitz worked under Reinhard Heydrich, who was determined to destroy all Czech resistance to Nazi rule. Gestapo officials freely used torture, deportation, and executions upon suspected Czech opponents. Following the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in May 1942, Pannwitz organized and led a special detachment to investigate this murder. Since Joseph Goebbels had decreed that Jews bore the primary responsibility for the assassination, several hundred Jews were taken from the Theresienstadt camp and murdered. Pannwitz and his men also decided that there was some connection between the Czech assassins (parachuted into Bohemia-Moravia by the Royal Air Force) and inhabitants of the Czech town of Lidice, outside Prague. Based on this information, authorities in Germany decided to destroy Lidice. On June 10, 1942 an SS unit surrounded the town. Every man and all older male children were murdered on the spot. The women and remaining children were taken away, the women apparently sent to the Ravensbriick camp. The town was razed, an act which the Nazis filmed—the captured film was later used by the prosecution during the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. Between May 28 and September 1 an additional 3,188 Czechs—a high proportion were former officers or members of the intelligentsia--were arrested and 1,347 condemned to death by emergency courts.

    JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 4: LEGISLATIVE FILES SUBSERIES 11: INTERNAL SECURITY SUBCOMMITTEE LIBRARY The U.S. Senate eliminated the Internal Security Subcommittee in 1977. In 1977-78, Senator James O. Eastland began transferring his congressional papers to the University of Mississippi. Among the items shipped were publications from the subcommittee’s library. Due to storage space concerns and the wide availability of many titles, the volumes were not preserved in toto. However, this subseries provides a complete bibliographic listing of the publications received as well as descriptions of stamps, inscriptions, or enclosures. The archives did retain documents enclosed within the Internal Security Subcommittee’s library volumes and these appear in Box 1 of this subseries. The bibliographic citation that follows will indicate the appropriate folder number. Call numbers and links to catalog records are provided when copies of the books are in the stacks of the J.D. Williams Library or Special Collections. Researchers should note that these are not necessarily the same copies that were in the Internal Security Subcommittee library or even the same editions. If the publications were previously held by the Internal Security Subcommittee, the library catalog record will note James O.
