Full textAbstract:
This study is an investigation of the life of Benjamin Hallowell (1799-1877) a significant contributor to the spread of useful knowledge in the middle (1824-1877) of the nineteenth century. During this period the advancement of knowledge, once the domain of the landed gentry, became the province of the middle class citizen.
The majority of studies of individuals influential in the spread of knowledge center on persons who had a national influence or on those who were active in the northeastern United States where the leading educational efforts flourished. Using historical research, a methodical, critical gathering and interpretation of knowledge from past and present records, we examine Hallowell's work in establishing learning institutions.
Hallowell's life work was examined in the light of his use of adult education as a means of furthering his goals, and how he used his Quaker educational and scientific networks to found and operate institutions, such as his boarding school in Alexandria (1824), the Alexandria Lyceum (1834), the Maryland Agricultural College (1859) the predecessor of the University of Maryland, and Swarthmore College (1867).
This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge about middle class citizens so important to the dissemination of knowledge and the formation of the nation in the middle of the nineteenth century. Hallowell's extensive correspondence was significant as he established his scientific reputation and as he worked in support of the disenfranchised. This is especially evident in his work as an advocate for slaves rights, in his progress towards women's equality in education, and in his work with the Indians.
Hallowell used adult education techniques such as lecturing, group discussion and decision making in forming the Lyceum, Swarthmore College, and the Alexandria Water Works. Self reading and self-directed learning were important parts of his personal improvement process from his earliest years. He was an intense man of wide interests who shared his knowledge with all. He participated actively in the growth and spread of knowledge especially in the mid-Atlantic states of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.Ed. D.

Human hand transplantation became a medical reality at the turn of the 2 1st century. Often hailed by media and the general public as miraculous, these life-changing surgeries are also highly controversial. Many doctors, ethicists, and medical professionals feel the benefits of having a hand transplant do not outweigh the risks of the immunosuppressive drugs required to keep the complex foreign tissues alive on the bodies of chronically disabled yet otherwise healthy people. Patients' reactions to having the operation, to the drugs, to the physical therapy, and to the psychological consequences of wearing the hand of a dead person range from grateful acceptance to disgust and requested reamputation. This thesis explores the struggles and triumphs of human hand transplants through the stories of several patients and doctors. The rise of hand transplantation as a field, including the ongoing controversy surrounding the first successful human hand transplant, is also related as insight into how doctors and patients in innovative medicine make decisions, and where hand transplantation stands as a technology to benefit both medicine and scientific research.

Previous issue date: 2007-09-10Halloween is a foreign cultural manifestation that is taking place in Brazil, mainly in schools and in business. Initially introduced by English schools and little by little it is popularizing itself in the country. Today, not only the schools commemorate the date. The commemorations are carnivalization and for carnivalization we understand as a deviation of the cultural manifestation on the cultural fact, accordingly to the concept theorized by Bakhtin. Another important concept for this research is the multiculturalism and its relation with education. The goal of this paper is to analyze these concepts and its applicability to the reality manifested in a school atmosphere. The research makes use of this problem and sees how this carnivalization of the commemorations occurs according to the teachers' and students perceptions in a community typically paulistana and presents the hypothesis that these celebrations start with elements peculiar to the national culture and with the process of carnivalization of other cultures. For that reason we deal with carnivalization and multiculturalism concepts related with the education specifically in schools with a juvenile public.
O Halloween é uma manifestação cultural estrangeira que vem tomando seu espaço no Brasil, principalmente nas escolas e no comércio.

Outro conceito importante para esta pesquisa é o multiculturalismo e suas relações com a educação. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar estes conceitos e sua aplicabilidade à realidade manifestada num ambiente escolar. A pesquisa problematiza como se efetua esta carnavalização das comemorações segundo as percepções dos docentes e alunos de uma comunidade escolar tipicamente paulistana e apresenta a hipótese de que estas celebrações se dão a partir de elementos próprios da cultura nacional e com o processo de carnavalização das outras culturas. Para tanto, aborda os conceitos de carnavalização e ainda de multiculturalismo relacionados com a educação, especificamente, em escolas com o público infanto-juvenil.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how preschool educators reflect about celebrating holidays in preschool settings. We interviewed six educators from three preschools. Two of the preschools are independent preschools with religious profiles; Jewish and Muslim. The third preschool is a municipal preschool without a religious profile. In our interviews we aimed to examine how holidays are celebrated, how the educators think and reflect about the function of the holiday celebration, and how the educators relate to holiday celebrations that are not directly connected to their own profile. Which similarities and differences can we see among the educators' stories about holiday celebration in preschool settings? Our main questions are: What comprises the concept of holiday celebration, according to the educators in their own preschool setting? Which function do the holidays have? Our research approach is phenomenography which seeks its results in qualitative interviews. With a qualitative analysis you can determine the educators own perception of the phenomena you want to examine. Our method of choice is there for qualitative interviews. In the results from the study we saw that using holiday celebration has a strong connection, according to the educators, to culture and identity. They use holiday celebrations as both an identity-generating function as well as a way to integrate both families and many objectives from the preschool curriculum.

Full textAbstract:
La fête d'Halloween en Amérique du Nord présente tous les aspects d'une tradition solidement implantée; elle affiche un caractère immémorial, dépourvu de discontinuités. Pourtant, celle-ci est relativement récente; elle n'est pas aussi rigide et fixe que ce que les documents et les esprits lui assignent depuis plus d'un siècle. A l'origine, il s'agit d'une célébration communautaire rurale, au sein d'un monde pré-industriel à la fois extrêmement hiérarchique et holiste - celui du Royaume - Uni de l'époque moderne (XVI-XIXè s. ). Quand, au XIXé s. , la date d'octobre décline pour disparaître du calendrier festif britannique, elle apparaît soudain outre-atlantique, au Canada et aux Etats-Unis, alors même que, contrairement à l'ancienne ou toujours actuelle métropole, ces espaces de culture anglaise étaient dépourvus de tout document relatif à l'observance. En fait, dans ces années 1850- 1870, il s'agit d'une réinvention de tradition; la fête qui prend alors place chante beaucoup moins le monde ancien que les valeurs nouvelles d'un temps présent marqué par l'individualisme, les normes bourgeoises, le mode de vie urbain, l'identité WASP. . . Et depuis cette double acclimatation américaine et contemporaine qui l'intègre parfaitement à l'American Way of Life, elle ne cesse plus de se transformer, objet rituel au service de toutes sortes d'enjeux, de communautés et de groupes particuliers.

Full textAbstract:
The Halloween effect refers to higher stock returns during the period November to April compared to May to October. This is a well-known calendar anomaly that has gained a lot of attention due to the fact that the effect is persistent in the market in spite of the fact that investors are aware of the anomaly today. This evokes questions regarding the efficiency in the markets and the Efficient Market Hypothesis in particular. The main focus of this thesis was to investigate whether the Halloween effect still exists in the Swedish stock market and if the power of the effect deviates between different firm sizes. Furthermore, we examined risk differences between the summer -and the winter months, as well as the January effect in order to find out if these could be possible explanations for the Halloween effect and its existence. A trading strategy based on the Halloween effect was also tested in order to see if investors could use this strategy to outperform a buy and hold strategy. The method that was used to investigate the existence of the Halloween effect was Ordinary Least Squares regression models with dummy variables, standard deviation to ascertain risk-differences between the periods and the Sharpe ratio to determine the risk-adjusted returns of the trading strategies. The results showed that the Halloween effect could be found in all of the examined market-cap indices, and therefore the Efficient Market Hypothesis could be questioned. The Halloween effect turned out to be autonomous from the January effect and the risk measured in standard deviation had no significant difference between the summer -and the winter months, hence, both these possible explanations were rejected. The backtesting showed that the Halloween strategy would perform better than the buy and hold strategy in all indices except from the mid-cap index. The results regarding the Sharpe ratio indicated that the Halloween strategy would be a better strategy to use considering risk-adjusted returns as the Sharpe ratio was higher in all indices.

Full textAbstract:
East Central Indiana's Gas Boom began when natural gas was discovered in 1886 and lasted until 1906 when the supply fell too short to meet the demand. The resource brought magnificent wealth to the region, as industries developed in the area and drew thousands of workers. The incredible population growth resulted in a building boom, creating new churches, houses, industrial buildings, and civic buildings. Although the resource ran out and many towns quickly decreased in population, the buildings remained as a testament to the Gas Boom years. Several styles of architecture were popular during this period, and for churches the predominant styles were Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival. Using a sample of Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival churches located across the nation as models, this thesis studies the Gas Boom churches of Alexandria, Elwood, and Hartford City to determine if they represented the national trends in church architecture during this period.Department of Architecture

Oavsett uppfattning finns oftast underliggande grundantaganden som utgör en slags bas för individens sätt att se, vilka jag vill ”synliggöra”.

Full textAbstract:
Decades of horror film research and theorizations have shown us that there is a reason why this particular genre has been an important part of film history from the beginning: namely, the idea that horror both reflects and shapes our historically and culturally specific anxieties.
By examining the Final Girl trope in Halloween (the 1978 original versus 2018 version), this paper traces the evolution of female protagonists and whether a more modern film accurately reflects the increasing role of feminism in society, or sticks to traditional conventions of misogyny and male-dominated visual pleasure. Placing the newer film in the context of the #MeToo era, this paper also addresses more contemporary anxieties over trauma, sexual assault and female anger.

Full textAbstract:
The Halloween ritual, trick-or-treat, has compelled suburban residents in Atlanta, Georgia to parade throughout the shared public spaces of their communities’ streets for nearly a century. In recent years, however, privatized children’s rituals beyond the realm of the neighborhood seemingly compete for trick-or-treat’s participants: trunk-or-treats in church parking lots now rise in popularity. I parse the impetuses behind the construction of these innovative ritual spaces using in-depth interviews and participant observations alongside the Christian churches who host them and the parents and guardians who participate in them. Cursorily appearing solely as privatized defangings of otherwise venomous and pagan-aligned public rites, trunk-or-treats embody social action in other ways: by actualizing and expanding faith communities’ networks of social capital, they not only afford churches the means to surmount various challenges they face in the New South, but also provide safe and attractive options for security-conscious parents and guardians in contemporary suburban Atlanta.

Full textAbstract:
This essay explores whether the notion of ‘hallowing’ provides a profitable lens through which to read and evaluate the soteriology of British theologian P.T. Forsyth, and it suggests that the hallowing of God’s name is, for Forsyth, the way whereby God both justifies himself and claims creation for divine service. It proposes that reading Forsyth’s corpus as essentially an exposition of the first petition of the Lord’s Prayer is an invitation to better comprehend not only his soteriology but also, by extension, his broader theological vision and interests. Chapters One and Two are concerned with questions of methodology, and with placing Forsyth in the social context of his day, with introducing the theological landscape and grammar from which he expounds his notion of reality as fundamentally moral, and with identifying some of the key but neglected voices that inform such a vision. Chapter Three explores the principal locale wherein the first petition of the Lord’s Prayer is answered: in Jesus Christ, whose confession of holiness ‘from sin’s side’ justifies God, destroys sin and creates a new humanity. Chapter Four examines Forsyth’s moral anthropology – specifically, the self-recovery of holiness in the human conscience – and considers holiness’ shape in the life of faith. Chapter Five inquires whether Forsyth’s theology of hallowing finally requires him to embrace dogmatic universalism, and identifies what problems might attend his failure to so do and consequently threaten to undermine his soteriological program.

Full textAbstract:
Halloween arrived in the United States in the mid-nineteenth century with the surge in immigration from the British Isles — especially Ireland. However, the folk holiday did not gain widespread attention until the late 1870s and 1880s when descriptive pieces containing both accounts of Halloween's long history increasingly appeared in some newspapers and periodicals. Over the next couple decades, these descriptive pieces became more prescriptive, instructing women how to throw a "proper" Halloween party; what food to serve, games to play, and atmosphere to evoke. By the turn of the twentieth century and up through the 1920s, the middle-to-upper class — specifically women — adopted the holiday all across the country and characterized it with parties, decorative displays, and the propagation of literature, imagery, and ephemera.
Since Halloween had existed as an ethnic folk tradition in America for several decades, why and how did this particular group of Americans adopt — and adapt — Halloween to meet their needs? Which Halloween traditions did they retain and how did they shape the holiday for their own purposes? Finally, how did this particular celebration of Halloween reflect the interplay of certain values among these celebrants through literature, imagery, and ephemera? This study of Halloween asks what the celebration of holidays and rituals can tell us about the culture in which they are celebrated. By employing a method which gives equal weight to historical context, audience, and imagery, we gain valuable insight about the stratum of American society which made Halloween an American tradition.Master of Arts

Den här vetenskapliga uppsatsen analyserar den kvinnliga huvudkaraktären Laurie Strode i John Carpenters original och Rob Zombies remake av slasherfilmen Halloween. Uppsatsens syfte är att studera hur samma karaktär har porträtterats ur ett feministiskt perspektiv och hur vi kan förstå dem utifrån de epoker de skapades i. Med en semiotisk analysmetod besvaras hur porträtteringen skiljer de två filmerna åt. Detta genom att analysera karaktärens denotation och konnotation både visuellt och i dialog. Med hjälp av feministisk filmforskning belyser uppsatsen hur filmen Halloween och slashergenren har vidare utvecklats med tiden. Begreppen Hora-Madonna-komplexet och the Final Girl samt forskning kring kvinnor i skräckfilmer används för att förankra tolkningen. Resultatet visar att denna utveckling lett till en mer öppen och tillåtande porträttering av en kvinna utan att med detta lämna den grund som slasherfilmer byggs på. Den visar också på hur filmens remake har frångått vissa begrepp som man kan anse centrala för slashergenren utan att förlora möjligheten att titulera sig som en sådan.

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to discover the elements in Virginia Military Institute's past that have proven most influential in guiding and preserving its present-day distinctive culture. Historical in nature, the study also incorporates theories from sociology and political science in analyzing the importance of events, people, and places surrounding Virginia Military between 1816 and 1890. Integral to the overarching theory behind this dissertation is the assumption that VMI's history is closely linked with the history of Virginia and of the American South. In order to tie historical theory to the theory of the elite college, the hypothesis relies heavily on four texts: Burton Clark's The Distinctive College, C. Vann Woodward's The Burden of Southern History, W. J. Cash's Mind of the South, and Bertram Wyatt-Brown's Southern Honor.;Specifically, the study hypothesizes that Virginia Military was heavily reliant upon Virginia state government from the time of its founding in 1839 through the Civil War. However, the war provided the circumstances by which the Institute could claim its own "place in history." The Battle of New Market, in which cadets from the Institute fought and died in support of the Confederate cause, gave VMI a substantive past separate from, yet tethered to, Virginia history and the history of the South. After the war, the Institute cultivated its own ideology and traditions, creating what Burton Clark terms "an institutional saga." Self-realization of this saga, coupled with its external recognition by alumni, forged the distinctiveness exhibited by Virginia Military today. In turn, this distinctiveness, preserved by a conservative even reactionary ideology, created an institutional atmosphere reluctant to embrace change.

Full textAbstract:
Cemeteries of the enslaved on many plantations in the 18th and 19th centuries were places where communities could practice forms of resistance, and develop distinct African-American traditions. These spaces often went unrecorded by elites, whose constructed landscapes were designed to convey messages of their own status and authority. In their oversight of these spaces, however, elites failed to notice the nuanced meanings the slaves themselves instilled in the landscapes they were forced to live and work in. These separate meanings enabled enslaved African Americans to maintain both human and cultural identities that subverted the slave system and the messages of inferiority that constantly bombarded them.
This thesis focuses on the archaeological study of the Slave Cemetery at George Washington's Mount Vernon. Here, methodological and theoretical principles are utilized to study the area that many enslaved workers call their final resting place. Through the use of this space, it is hypothesized that Mount Vernon's enslaved community practiced distinct traditions, instilling in that spot a sense of place, and reinforcing their individual and communal human identities. This thesis will also investigate the cemetery within its broader regional and cultural contexts, to attain a better understanding of the death rituals and culturally resistant activates that slaves at Mount Vernon used in their day-to-day battle against the system that held them in bondage.

Full textAbstract:
The financial market anomaly can be characterized as the event when observed stock returns differentiate from those expected by concrete pricing model. Many anomalies have been detected so far, and some of them vanished, while other persisted, after they had been published by academics and researchers. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the potential presence of selected types of anomalies in the financial markets and to provide relevant empirical evidence. The theoretical section will supply the reader with the descriptions of several types of financial market anomalies and the results of past studies documenting the existence of these anomalies, with possible reasons justifying the presence of this phenomenon. The analytical section will focus on the few selected anomalies and test whether they are still present in the selected financial markets.

Mestrado em FinançasTendo enfraquecido para algumas amostras, mas persistido para outras, os efeitos de calendário são ainda uma contradição relevante à eficiência de mercado. O seu declínio para alguns mercados sugere que as ineficiências responsáveis pela presença de efeitos de calendário tendem a desaparecer com um melhor desenvolvimento financeiro. Este trabalho procura ajudar a preencher uma lacuna na literatura existente, ao traçar claramente uma relação entre a presença de efeitos de calendário e o desenvolvimento financeiro. O objetivo é clarificar se os efeitos de calendário podem ser parcialmente explicados por um baixo nível de desenvolvimento financeiro. Neste trabalho, investigamos efeitos de calendário semanais e mensais em 46 mercados de ações internacionais, para um período de 25 anos, e relacionamos os resultados com o seu nível de desenvolvimento financeiro. Os resultados sugerem que algumas das anomalias - os efeitos de sexta-feira e de janeiro - claramente diminuem com o desenvolvimento financeiro, enquanto outras - os efeitos de segunda-feira, abril, e Halloween - são estatisticamente significativos, independentemente do desenvolvimento financeiro. Construímos três medidas agregadas para a presença e intensidade de efeitos de calendário nos mercados, e concluímos que os países menos desenvolvidos financeiramente têm não só mais anomalias de calendário em número, mas em intensidade também.
Having weakened for some samples, but persisted for others, calendar effects are still a relevant challenge to market efficiency. Their decline for some markets suggests that the inefficiencies responsible for the presence of calendar effects should disappear with improvements in financial development. This research aims to help fill a gap in the existing literature, by clearly drawing a relationship between the presence of calendar effects and financial development. The goal is to clarify whether calendar effects can be partly explained by a lack of financial development. In this work, we investigate weekly and monthly calendar effects in 46 international stock markets, for a 25 years-period, and relate our findings to their degree of financial development. The evidence suggests that some calendar anomalies - the Friday and January effects - clearly decrease with financial development, while others - the Monday, April, and Halloween effects - are statistically significant, regardless of it. We build three alternative aggregate measures for the presence and severity of calendar effects in markets, and find that less financially developed countries have more calendar anomalies, not only in number, but in intensity as well.

Abstract: This dissertation aims at analyzing female representations in two film productions of the North American horror cinema, specifically of its subgenre slasher films, namely Halloween, directed by John Carpenter (1978) and The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme (1991). My main theoretical framework is film, representation, gender, feminist and queer theories (Butler, 1990, 1993; Clover, 1989; Dika, 1985, Halberstam, 1995; Hall 1973, 1997; Mulvey, 1975, 1981; 2006; Rockoff, 2006; Weedon, 1995). My hypothesis is that the figure of the final girl, in the two films selected for analysis, is not progressive as suggested by the author Carol Clover in her work Men, Women and Chainsaws (1989). On the contrary, the two female characters are represented, in the narrative, as subjugated by the patriarchal system that has been conventionalized in the slasher subgenre. In order to provide arguments for my hypothesis, I analyze general aspects of both form and content of the two films, as well as specific scenes, using the cinematic elements of mise-en-scène, props, characterization, editing and lighting in order to obtain relevant results for my research.
Esta tese de doutorado objetiva analisar as representações femininas em duas produções cinematográficas do cinema de horror Norte-americano, especificamente do seu subgênero slasher films, intituladas Halloween, dirigido por John Carpenter (1978) e The Silenceof the Lambs, dirigido por Jonathan Demme (1991). Para tal análise, eu utilizo como referencial teórico as teorias de estudos de cinema, representação, gênero, feministas e queer (Butler, 1990, 1993; Clover, 1989; Dika, 1985; Halberstam, 1995; Hall, 1973, 1997; Halberstam, 1995; Mulvey, 1975; 1981; 2006; Rockoff, 2006; Weedon, 1995) para compor os meus argumentos. A minha hipótese consiste no fato de que a figura da final girl não é inovadora como sugere a autora Carol Clover em sua obra Men, Women and Chainsaws (1989). Ao contrário, a personagem feminina é representada na narrativa como subjugada pelo sistema patriarcal que se convencionou em filmes do gênero. Para a investigação da minha hipótese, foram feitas análises gerais dos filmes propostos, tanto considerando suas formas quanto conteúdos, bem como a de cenas específicas, utilizando-se dos elementos de cinema tais como mise-èn-scene, elementos de cena, caracterização de personagens, edição e luz a fim de obter resultados relevantes para a minha pesquisa.

Full textAbstract:
Grime is a Black British music genre originating from London in the early 2000s. Linked to inner-city street/road culture, it is a subaltern subculture that initially experienced criminalisation, racialisation and marginalisation through the media and music industries, politicians, legislation, policing – mainstream British society. This ethnographic project reclaims power from the mainstream marginalising gaze by enabling the scene's predominantly Black and White working class members to elucidate and direct Grime's narrative from its inception. The project uses Foucault’s (1997) definition of genealogy to interrogate Grime's emergence musically and subculturally. It uses Lena’s AgSIT (2012) genre model to examine Grime's development teleologically. Hall's (1978) 'Internal Colonies' and Baker's Black Public Sphere (1996) are used in conjunction to examine the significance of local (tangible) and cultural (intangible) influences on Grime and how these connect to African diasporic cultural and spiritual practice (Mbiti 1991). Scene directed narrative highlights subcultural understandings of British society, the world, universe and sublime. It interrogates communal and personal identifications, subcultural fan practices and affective investments, to draw out subversive or normative meaning making with respect to politics, religion/spirituality, race, class, gender and technological democratisation. Ethnographic data was captured through in-depth semi-structured interviews, participant observation (events and Twitter) and Musicological Discourse Analysis (sonic and lyrics), to enable the exploration of 21st century inner-city subaltern youth experience; independent from, and, in dialogue with wider British society. Thematic analysis was applied across all data collection methods. This enabled the triangulation of Grime subcultural experience through various vantage points. This project makes a scholarly contribution by creating a new narrative for Grime, identifying the substantive issues of music, ‘race’, religion/spirituality, subalternity and technological democratisation, in addition to developing theories for musical analysis and affective investment through music, culture and spirituality for the social sciences.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att belysa den förbisedda subgenren giallo genom att undersöka om genren har influerat den mer framgångsrika och erkända subgenren slasher. Och om det är fallet undersöka hur omfattande arvet ifrån giallogenren till slashergenren är. För att besvara detta har följande frågor använts som utgångspunkt för analysen och diskussionen: Vilka likheter och skillnader finns mellan subgenrerna giallo och slasher? och Vad återfinns från giallon till slashern och hur omfattande är inflytandet? Med hjälp av tidigare forskning kring skräckgenrens historiska utveckling, influenser, subgenrer och genrekonventioner har generna kartlagts och analyserats. Genom en komparativ analysmetod av två stycken filmer ifrån respektive subgenre påträffade undersökningen väsentliga likheter i innehållet som påvisar att giallogenren har inspirerat och influerat slashergenren avsevärt.

Studien undersöker om den svenska aktiemarknaden i regel presterar sämre mellan månaderna maj och september enligt den så kallade “ sell-in-may-and-go-away- effekten”. Vi använder den logaritmerade avkastningen för det svenska indexet OMXS30 som delas upp i olika perioder; maj till september, samt oktober till april. Avkastningen för dessa perioder jämförs genom att använda en regressionsmodell. Resultatet från undersökningen visar att effekten är positiv, samt signifikant på en-procentsnivå mellan 1986 till 2017 för OMXS30 iSverige. Studien tittar även på sell-in-may-and-go-away- effektens utveckling, och finner indikationer för att effekten avtar efter publiceringen av Bouman & Jacobsens undersökningav effekten år 2002. Indikationen på att effekten avtar kan betyda en högre grad av rationalitet hos investerare samt en mer effektiv marknad allt eftersom sell-in-may-and-go-away- effekten blir mer allmänt känd. Resultatet för att effekten skulle vara avtagande är dock inte statistisk signifikant och därmed inte heller statistiskt säkerställd.

We concluded that the Halloween effect is economically and statistically significant, constituting therefore an exploitable opportunity. We have considered several possible explanations for the anomaly, but none was able to completely justify the seasonal effect. We suggest, that a possible explanation for the anomaly may be related with the negative average returns during the May–October period, rather than with a superior performance during the November–April period.

Visceral [vis-er-uh l]
-adj
1. of, relating to, or affecting the viscera
2. characterized by intuition or instinct rather than intellect
(“visceral,” def. 1-2)
The above words speak to define far more than merely the word “visceral.” They speak to also embody and classify a previously untitled form of theatre. Visceral Theatre: A form of theatre that uses the instinctual awareness of the audience- the audiences' perception of popular culture, societal contexts both historical and geographical, as well as their instinctual-physical aversion to danger- to cause physiological and emotional responses through the overstimulation of the senses in a non-tactile attack.
For the past eight years I have been intimately involved with the creation of Halloween Horror Nights, an annual event held each September/October at the Universal Orlando Resort. The basis of the event is the celebration of the holiday of Halloween by creating Shows, Street Experiences, and Thematic Mazes in which to fully immerse hundreds of thousands of guests in various environments.
This thesis will use the example of Halloween Horror nights to frame the discussion of Visceral Theatre. It will be presented through the lens of creator, designer, director, and collaborator of the entertainment offerings within the experience. It is my hope to answer the question: What is Visceral Theatre, and how HHN, as it is commonly referred to, earns the right to be defined as such. What makes this experience Theatre?M.A.

Concluímos que o efeito Halloween é estatisticamente e economicamente significante, e que a anomalia nos retornos dos mercados de acções dever-se-á aos retornos negativos durante o período de Maio a Outubro, e não aos elevados retornos registados durante o período de Novembro a Abril.

In this dissertation we follow closely the methodology used by Bouman and Jacobsen (2002), to study the presence of the Halloween effect in European Equity Mutual Funds, from 1997 to 2013. We provide evidences of the presence of this effect in the European Equity Mutual Funds market, we test whether this effect has disappeared after the Bouman and Jacobsen publication in 2002 and we show that an investment strategy based on this anomaly can beat the market. We conclude that the Halloween Effect is statistically and economically significant, and that this anomaly in the stock market returns might be due to the negative average returns during the months of May to October, rather than a higher performance during the period from November to April.

Όταν μια ημερολογιακή ανωμαλία γίνεται γνωστή στην αγορά, είναι αναμενόμενο η αντίδραση των επενδυτών στην αναμονή της να βαίνει φθίνουσα με το χρόνο. Για την απόρριψη ή την επιβεβαίωση της υπόθεσης αυτής, στην παρούσα μελέτη, ελέγχεται η ύπαρξη ημερολογιακών ανωμαλιών στις αποδόσεις 15 διεθνών χρηματιστηριακών αγορών τα τελευταία 20 έτη. Κυρίαρχος σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης μελέτης είναι ο έλεγχος της μεταβολής των τάσεων στις προτιμήσεις και τις προσδοκίες των επενδυτών τόσο κατά το πέρασμα των χρόνων όσο και με βάση τη θέση κάθε αγοράς στον παγκόσμιο χάρτη ανάπτυξης. Η εξεταζόμενη περίοδος χωρίζεται σε δύο επιμέρους υποπεριόδους με γνώμονα την διεθνή κρίση που ξεκίνησε στα τέλη του 1999 και επηρέασε καθοριστικά την πορεία της παγκόσμιας οικονομίας. Προσπαθούμε, επομένως, να μελετήσουμε την προσαρμογή των αγορών στις συνθήκες και τα δεδομένα που δημιουργούνται έπειτα από ένα σημαντικό γεγονός. Η μεγάλη βάση του δείγματος - ξεπερνά τα είκοσι έτη, το πλήθος των εξεταζόμενων δεικτών και η προσπάθεια μελέτης διαφορετικών τάσεων με βάση ένα κομβικό σημείο της πορείας της ιστορίας αλλά και με βάση την κατηγοριοποίηση των αγορών ανάλογα με το βαθμό ανάπτυξής τους, διαφοροποιούν την παρούσα μελέτη, και πιστεύουμε ότι αποτελούν ένα ισχυρό κίνητρο για έναν μελετητή ή επενδυτή να αφιερώσει χρόνο στην παρούσα μελέτη. Εξάλλου, τόσο η αξιοσημείωτη διαφοροποίηση των αποτελεσμάτων στις δύο εξεταζόμενες υποπεριόδους, όσο και η χαλαρή τάση που εμφανίζεται σε κάθε κατηγορία αγορών, θεωρούμε ότι δικαιώνουν το εν λόγω εγχείρημα.When a calendar anomaly becomes acquaintance in the market, the reaction of investors is expected to go declining with the time.

The examined period (1988-2008) is separated in two subperiods taking into consideration the international crisis that began in the dues of 1999 in order to be checked the stability of results. The empirical results show important differentiation of results in the two examined subperiods. In any case, the segregation of indicators according to their places in the world market does not appear to attribute substantially conclusions.

Abstract The ROCSAT-1 satellite was launched into a circular orbit with inclination of 35 degrees. Its orbits can cover magnetic latitudes (Mlat) up to 45 degrees in some longitude sectors. During storm time the mid-latitude and high-latitude phenomena can expand equatorward, so it is possible for us to observe mid-latitude phenomena at ROCSAT-1 orbits. During the great magnetic storm on 29 – 31 October 2003 (Halloween storm), the onboard Ionospheric Plasma and Electrodynamics Instrument (IPEI) observed unusually rapid plasma drifts in the sub-auroal latitudes. These westward drifts were driven by polarward electric fields. We characterize these westward flows as the Subauroral Polarization Stream (SAPS). In this thesis we investigate the equatorward extent of the SAPS events and discuss the structures of the intermediate scale (500 m ~ 60 km) wave phenomena. In particular, we focus on three SAPS events during the expansion phase of this storm period. From these events we find that the average westward velocity is 600 m/s ~ 800 m/s and that the maximum velocity exceeds 1200 m/s. Surrounding this velocity peak is a narrow latitude region, which is named “Subauroral Ion Drift (SAID)”. The lowest SAPS equatorward boundary extended to 26o Mlat, and local time extended toward mid-afternoon (15:30 LT). In addition to polarward electric field, we also observed eastward electric fields. Furthermore, we analyze the spectral and polarization characteristics of the wave events. At the location nearby the SAID event, we observed the narrow-band waves, which are left-hand polarized with wavelengths around 3.16 km.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore the application of Interactive Whiteboard on Halloween English teaching in preschool. There were three main purposes, first, to know how Halloween English teaching promoted preschool students’ cognition of Halloween’s culture background by Interactive Whiteboard. Second, how Halloween English teaching enhanced preschool students’ Halloween vocabulary learning effects on listening and speaking by Interactive Whiteboard. Finally, how Halloween English teaching increased preschool students’ learning motivation of Halloween by Interactive Whiteboard. Moreover, the children’s responses during Interactive Whiteboard English teaching were observed and described. Twenty four preschool children participated in this study. They are aged four to five in Tainan preschool. The experiment estimated to take 8 weeks. Students usually attend English class three times each week, 30 minutes per class. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were adopted in this study, including pre/post tests, observation and survey. The findings and results are summarized as follow: 1.The result of Halloween English teaching promoted students’ cognition of Halloween’s culture background by Interactive Whiteboard was 52.08%. 2.According to the result, Halloween English teaching enhanced preschool students’ Halloween vocabulary learning and speaking. The average of preschool students’ listening test increased 69.17%. On the other hand, the average of speaking test improved 90.42%. There is a significant difference on speaking of Halloween vocabulary. 3.Through motivation interview survey, twenty-three students all love this teaching, there is only one student does not like Halloween activities. From open ended question of the survey, he pointed out that he did not like to put on Halloween costume and Halloween parade. Therefore, all his answers to the questions were negative. But from his parent’s survey, and classroom observation, he had a positive reaction on Interactive Whiteboard English teaching. The researcher found that students have a positive response to Interactive Whiteboard English teaching. 4.Students’ responses to Interactive Whiteboard English teaching were excited. It is easy to catch their attention and extend concentration on learning. According to the result, there is a significant difference on Halloween English teaching by Interactive Whiteboard in preschool. I hope I can provide a multiple teaching method for English teachers on festival teaching. Keywords: Interactive Whiteboard.(I.W.B.), Learning Motivation, Culture Teaching

Dissertação de mestrado em FinançasIn an efficient market, information is reflected on market prices, and consequently prices should follow a random walk, and their changes should be unpredictable (Fama, 1965a). The aim of this research is to test the efficient market hypothesis. In particular, this dissertation investigates the weak-form market efficient hypothesis through analyzing the existence of the ”Sell in May and Go Away” calendar anomaly (also known as the Halloween Effect). The data set consists of monthly stock returns for value-weighted indices of 25 international countries. We follow a regression analysis methodology to: test for the existence of the Halloween effect in both developed and emerging markets, test if the Halloween effect is a January effect in disguise, and test if crashes affects the results. The results show that the Sell in May effect exists in 9 countries out of the studied 25 countries, and that the Sell in May effect is not simply a January effect. However, controlling for crashes makes the Sell in May anomaly to disappear. Finally, an evaluation of the performance of both the Halloween trading strategy in comparison with the Buyand-Hold strategy is made. The result show that the former is more profitable in 9 out of the 25 countries even after amending transaction costs.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the “Sell in May” effect, which is related to the
fact that financial markets seem to provide positively significant returns from November
to April and not significant or negatively significant returns from May until October. The
Sell in May effect is present in 30 out of 37 indexes, using a sample of 37 country indexes
from 1970 to 2011. All sectors of activity are consistently affected by this seasonal
pattern, being the effect stronger in production related sectors. The effect is largely felt in
high market capitalization companies and less in companies with high dividend yield,
being that there is not any clear pattern regarding Price-Earnings ratio. Furthermore, a
strategy developed taken into account the “Sell in May” effect outperforms the
benchmark, providing higher risk-adjusted returns for an investor.
