Emborg, Elin, and Marie Halling. "JMM – vad hände sen? : En intervjustudie med före detta studenter från programmet Journalistik och multimedia." Thesis, Södertörn University College, School of Discourse Studies, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-1732.
Full textAbstract:
Vi har genom en kvalitativ studie undersökt relationen mellan JMM-utbildningen och journalistyrket, samt huruvida JMM-programmet är en professionsutbildning som förbereder studenten för journalistyrket. Detta har skett genom intervjuer med nio före detta JMM-studenter. Vår teoretiska utgångspunkt har varit professionsteorier samt utbildningens betydelse i professionaliseringen av journalistyrket. Resultatet visar att intervjupersonerna är nöjda med JMM-utbildningen, även om de känner att de inte blev helt förberedda på den journalistiska yrkesroll de mött ute i arbetslivet.
Våra slutsatser är att utbildningen till viss del förbereder för journalistyrket, men att den aldrig kommer att kunna motsvara journalistyrkets verklighet gällande de redaktionella villkoren. Det är också påtagligt att JMM-utbildningen förmedlar tydliga normer och värderingar som ger en god grund att stå på. Vidare har det framkommit att de före detta JMM-studenterna tror att själva journalistyrket i sig inte kräver utbildning, utan att det snarare är dagens konkurrens på arbetsmarknaden som gör att arbetsgivare kan kräva det. Uppfattningen är dock att det gått relativt bra för JMM-studenter ute i arbetslivet, och att det blev något lättare att ta sig ut på arbetsmarknaden än vad de flesta av intervjupersonerna hade väntat sig.
När det gäller JMM-utbildningen i förhållande till journalistyrket som profession är vår slutsats att det är svårt att utbilda studenter för den journalistiska professionen. Detta eftersom att journalistbranschen idag innefattar så många olika typer av journalistyrken att det blir alltmer otydligt vad journalistyrket som profession innebär. JMM-utbildningens multimediala bredd innebär dock att JMM rent förståelsemässigt förbereder inför framtidens journalistroll, så som journalistyrket är på väg att utvecklas som profession.

Full textAbstract:
International marketing studies have extensively examined the antecedents of firms' marketing standardization/
adaptation decisions. However, it is unclear whether such decisions, once planned, codetermine the choice between buying and building foreign subsidiaries. Analyzing a sample of 150 foreign entries by Dutch firms, the authors find that the level of marketing adaptation planned for a wholly owned subsidiary is positively related to the likelihood that the subsidiary will be established through an acquisition rather than through a greenfield investment. Moreover, the authors find substantial evidence that this positive relationship is stronger for firms that (1) are establishing relatively larger subsidiaries, (2) have less experience with the industry entered, or (3) are entering less developed countries. The findings show that firms pursuing higher levels of marketing adaptation assign more value to the marketing adaptation advantages of acquisitions over greenfields, especially if the risks associated with implementing the planned adaptation
level are high. In addition, firms typically strive for a fit between their international marketing strategy and their mode of foreign establishment. (authors' abstract)

Full textAbstract:
This study extends previous research by exploring perceptions of healthiness in the international food marketplace. To this end, it aims to fill an important gap by shedding light on the role of country of origin in shaping perceptions of healthiness. The authors provide evidence that domestic and foreign food products elicit different perceptions of healthiness. Consumers choose domestic products because they perceive them as healthier and more natural. The effect holds across different samples and product categories (apples, tomatoes, bread, and yogurt). However, this healthiness bias vanishes when products are presented as posing health risks and when products are introduced with a dual identity (i.e., both foreign and domestic). Researching these health-related effects helps provide a better understanding of consumer attitudes toward domestic- versus foreign-made food products.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to research how to use JavaScript to communicate with a legacy JMS broker, specifically OpenMQ 4.1 and implementing a proof- of-concept of this. This proof-of-concept should be able to send and receive JMS messages. The necessary preparations for designing this application was to research possible ways of communicating with different JMS brokers using oth- er languages than Java. This research showed that the only viable method in or- der to communicate with this version of OpenMQ is to create a Java bridge be- tween JavaScript and the JMS broker. The results shows that it's possible to use JavaScript to communicate with OpenMQ 4.1 by using a Java Bridge together with NodeJS. This result is performed by making an integration test, by first sending a message with a certain ID to the API and then receiving a response at the intended response destination with the same ID. The front-end of the proof- of-concept provides a web application UI for performing this integration test. Future improvements of this implementation can be done by extending the Java Bridge and API in such a way that it can be used against many different JMS brokers. The configuration data used can also be stored in more reliable ways, if multiple users are using the API and web application at the same time, for example by using a database instead of JSON files.

Full textAbstract:
Khwaam Jam is an introspective installation of works that explore the perceptions of identity based on memory. Created through the exploration of my past and present, the works of Khwaam Jam utilize the principles and techniques of textile design and production while involving mixed media and new materials in a site-specific installation. This installation is intended to represent my memory on a large scale. The hanging pieces are the focal point of the exhibition and are the physical manifestation of my perception of the categorization and storage of my memories. Memories are the vessels through which we create our identity. An individual’s identity is not only created from the personal experiences of the individual, but also from the experiences of those linked to the individual, whether on an intimate or social level. This overlap of memories is what connects us and helps create both individual and social identities through a series of shared memories.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera hur IT-företaget JMB gått tillväga för att implementera sin strategi samt att undersöka vilka faktorer som har varit viktiga för JMB:s strategiimplementering.
Avgränsningar: Vi har i studien avgränsat oss till ett fallföretag vilket innebär att strategiimplementering och faktorer i andra företag har inte beaktas. Vi har även avstått ifrån att fördjupa oss i utvärdering och uppföljning av strategin.
Metod: En fallstudie har genomförts på ett IT-företag, där vi har genomfört intervjuer på tre olika nivåer i organisationen. Utifrån den konceptuella modellen har det empiriska och teoretiska materialet analyserats.
Resultat, slutsatser: Svaret på frågeställningen är att JMB implementerar sin strategi genom att arbeta i en decentraliserad organisationsstruktur där företagets olika affärsområden får arbeta självständigt efter målstyrning samt ”empowerment”. Viktiga övergripande faktorer är organisationsstruktur och inflytande, ledarskap, organisationskultur, samt strategisk kontroll och förändring.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with messaging and integration of third-party JMS providers into JBoss application server. The aim of the thesis was to design and implement a general-purpose testsuite to verify the proposed integration. First requirement was to get familiar with key technologies for integration including Java Message Service, Java EE Connector Architecture, selected JMS providers and JBoss AS. Specific procedures of integration were designed and described for JMS providers Apache ActiveMQ, IBM WebSphere MQ and Red Hat MRG Messaging. The testsuite implemented to verify the functionlity of the integration focuses on four areas - transactions, clustering, high availibility and performance. The process of testing was automated using continuous integration tool Jenkins. Finally the test application was used to evaluate functionality of the integration and compare different JMS providers and various versions of JBoss AS.

Full textAbstract:
Strömmande musiktjänster erbjuder ett stort utbud av musik. Förutom att användare kan skapa egna listor från detta utbud, erbjuder tjänsterna ofta personliga rekommendationer. Även om rekommendationerna passar användaren väl, passar de inte alltid för situationen de befinner sig i. I denna studie presenteras en artefakt i form av en kontextmedveten musikapplikation som använder Spotify för rekommendation och uppspelning av musik. En kontextmedveten musikapplikation är en applikation som tar användarens kontext i beaktning vid musikrekommendation. I denna studie refererar kontext till den situation som en potentiell användare befinner sig i, exempelvis "ute och springer i parken klockan tre". Vi presenterar en enkätundersökning om vilka kontextuella faktorer användare tycker är viktiga, och frågor kring lyssnarbeteende. Artefakten testas i en användarstudie och resultaten analyseras och diskuteras i relation till tidigare forskning. Vi ser att användare har en positiv inställning till att kontextuella faktorer påverkar vilken musik de lyssnar på, och att det finns en positiv inställning till kontextmedvetna musikapplikationer. Vidare ser vi att aktivitet är den mest relevanta kontextuella faktorn för användare.Music streaming services offer a large quantity of music. Apart from users being able to create their own playlists, these services also offer personal music recommendations. Even though these recommendations meet the users preferences, they don't always fit the users current situation. In this study, we present an artifact in the shape of a context-aware music recommender application, that uses Spotify services to recommend and handle playback of music. A context-aware music application is an application that takes a users current context in consideration when recommending music. In this study, context-aware refers to the situation a given user might find themselves in, e.g. "jogging in the park at 3pm". We present a questionnaire about which contextual factors users think are important, and questions about listening preferences. The artifact is tested in a user study, and the results are analysed and discussed in relation to previous studies. We found that users have a positive attitude towards contextual factors influencing which music they listen to, and that there is a positive attitude towards contextual music recommenders. Furthermore we found that activity is the most relevant contextuall factor to users.

While Disgrace seems to be written from a single perspective, it is in fact multi-layered. In order to support this claim, this essay investigates what the novel's protagonist sees, how he sees it and who is narrating the story, using respectively the narratological key concepts of internal focalization, fallible filter and covert narration. The essay thereafter studies how the novel has affected readers in South Africa and how it is neccessary to challenge the perspective presented in the novel in order to fully understand the text.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine how age and job identification affect entrepreneurial intention.
Design/methodology/approach: The researchers
draw on a representative sample of the Austrian adult workforce and apply binary logistic regression on entrepreneurial intention.
Findings: The findings reveal that as employees age they are less inclined to act entrepreneurially, and that their entrepreneurial intention is lower the more they identify with their job. Whereas gender, education, and previous entrepreneurial experience matter, leadership and having entrepreneurial parents seem to have no impact on the entrepreneurial intention of employees.
Research implications: Implications relate to a contingency perspective on entrepreneurial intention where the impact of age is exacerbated by stronger identification with the job. Practical implications: Practical implications
include the need to account for different motivational backgrounds when addressing entrepreneurial employees of different ages. Societal implications include the need to adopt an age perspective to foster entrepreneurial intentions within established organizations.
Originality/value: While the study corroborates and extends findings from entrepreneurial intention research,
it contributes new empirical insights to the age and job
- dependent contingency perspective on entrepreneurial
intention. (authors' abstract)

Full textAbstract:
Purpose -
Collaborative consumption, such as car sharing, speci
fi
cally implicates customer-to-customer interaction, which must be regulated by
service providers (companies, peers and self-regulating communities), comprising different challenges for business organizations. While in
conventional business relations, consumers are protected from undesirable customer behavior by laws, regulations (power) in the context of
collaborative consumption are rare, so that trust becomes more relevant. It is the purpose of the study to investigate possible mechanisms to
prevent undesirable customers in collaborative consumption.
Design/methodology/Approach -
In between subject designs, samples of 186 and 328 consumers
fi
lled in experimental online questionnaires
with vignettes. Analyses were made of differences among car sharing companies, private persons and car sharing communities in terms of the
power of providers, trust in providers and trust in other users of the shared goods, undesirable customer behavior and consumer -
provider relations.
Findings -
Companies, private persons and self-regulating communities differ in terms of perceived power and trust. Participants speci
fi
cally
perceive mainly coercive power with the car sharing company, but with the private person and the community, reason-based trust in other users is
perceived as prevalent. Nevertheless, undesirable customer behavior varies only marginally over the models.
Originality/value -
The present study is the first to investigate measures to prevent undesirable customer behavior over different collaborative
consumption models. This enables appropriate identification of market segments and tailoring of services. The study identifies opportunities for
companies in contrast to private persons and self-regulating communities and, in doing so, provides important stimulation for marketing strategy
and theory development.

Full textAbstract:
The Ericsson AXE-based systems are programmed using an internally developed language called Plex-C. Plex-C is normally compiled to execute on an Ericsson internal processor architecture. A transition to standard processors is currently in progress. This makes it interesting to examine if Plex-C can be compiled to execute on the JVM, which would make it processor independent.
The purpose of the thesis is to examine if parts of the run-time environment of Plex-C can be translated to Java and if this can be done so that sufficient performance is obtained. It includes how language constructions in Plex-C can be translated to Java.
The thesis describes how a limited part of the Plex-C run-time environment is implemented in Java. Optimizations are an important part of the implementation.
It is also described how the JVM system was tested with a benchmark test.
The test results indicate that the implemented system is a few times faster than the Ericsson internal processor architecture. But this performance is still not sufficient for the JVM system to be an interesting replacement for the currently used processor architecture. It might still be useful as a processor independent test platform.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, verification of programs is gaining increased importance. The software industry appears more and more interested in methods and tools to ensure security in their applications. Java Modeling Language has been successfully used in the past by programmers to express their intentions in the Design by Contract fashion in sequential programming. One of the design goals of JML was to improve the functional software correctness of Java applications. Regarding the verification of security properties, JML was mostly successful in Java Smart Card applets due to the specifics of these applications. In this thesis work we investigate the feasibility of JML to express high-level security properties in Java applications that have more realistic requirements and are implemented in the object oriented technology. We do a threat analysis of a case study regarding a medical clinic and derive the required security properties to secure the application. We develop a prototype application where we specify high-level security properties with JML and use a runtime assertion checking tool to verify the code. We model the functional behavior of the prototype that establishes the security proper-ties as a finite state automaton. Our prototype is developed based on this automaton. States and state transitions modeled in the automaton are expressed in the prototype with JML annotations and verified during runtime. We observe that currently available features in JML are not very feasible to capture the security related behavior of Java programs on the level of the entire application.

Full textAbstract:
Esta investigación tiene por finalidad realizar un planeamiento estratégico para la
empresa JJM SRL a efectos de alcanzar el reconocimiento y liderazgo de la empresa a nivel
nacional en el rubro de perforación y voladura. Este planeamiento se ha desarrollado de
manera secuencial en base a las tres etapas que consta un proceso estratégico: (a)
formulación, (b) implementación, y (c) evaluación y control.
Se inicia la etapa de formulación con una evaluación de los factores externos los
cuales influyen en el logro del objetivo de la empresa, donde se resalta que el sector
construcción en el Perú viene presentando un crecimiento constante lo cual representa
excelentes oportunidades de desarrollo para JJM SRL. Asimismo, se presenta una evaluación
interna de la empresa resultando en factores controlables que se pueden mejorar con
estrategias internas. Se presentan los objetivos de largo plazo cuyo cumplimiento asegurarán
que JJM SRL logre la visión establecida y para lo cual se plantean unas estrategias que serán
finalmente las que se apliquen para el desarrollo del plan estratégico.
En la etapa de implementación se presentan los objetivos de corto plazo cuyo logro
junto con las estrategias llevará a cumplir los objetivos de largo plazo, planteados en la etapa
anterior. Además, se consideran los recursos asignados a los objetivos de corto plazo así
como las políticas de cada estrategia. Por tanto, el éxito de la implementación depende del
logro de los objetivos estratégicos planteados para JJM SRL.
En la última etapa del proceso estratégico, etapa de control, se utiliza como
herramienta el Tablero de Control Integrado (BSC). Este modelo enmarca cada objetivo de
corto plazo dentro de una de las cuatro perspectivas que este modelo propone y le asigna un
indicador que permitirá monitorear su cumplimiento de manera permanente. Finalmente se
presentan las Conclusiones, Recomendaciones y el Futuro de la empresa JJM SRL.The purpose of this investigation is to establish the strategic planning for the company JJM SRL, so as to ensure the company’s recognition and leadership nationwide in the drilling and blasting sector. This planning has been carried out sequentially, based on the three stages that make up a strategic process: (a) preparation; (b) implementation; and (c) evaluation and control. The preparation stage begins with an evaluation of external factors that may influence the achievement of the company’s objectives, noting that the construction sector in Peru has experienced constant growth in recent years, making for excellent development opportunities for JJM SRL. An internal evaluation of the company is also presented, resulting in controllable factors that may be improved via internal strategies. Long-term objectives are determined. The ability to meet these objectives will guarantee that JJM SRL achieves the vision established. For such purpose, strategies are set forth which will ultimately be those applied for the development of the strategic plan. The implementation stage includes the presentation of short-term objectives. The achievement of these objectives, together with the strategies, is necessary in order to meet the long-term objectives established in the previous stage. The implementation stage also covers the resources allocated to the short-term objectives, as well as the policies on each strategy. As such, successful implementation depends on the achievement of the strategic objectives established for JJM SRL. The last stage of the strategic process—the control stage—uses tools such as the balanced scorecard (BSC). This model frames each short-term objective within one of the four perspectives proposed therein and assigns it an indicator in order to monitor the compliance therewith on a permanent basis. Finally, the Conclusions, Recommendations, and Future of JJM SRL are presented.

Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2017.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 133-140).
This thesis proposes a communications system that utilizes the benefits of CubeSats to provide jam-resistant communications. The growth of CubeSats within educational communities has prompted their use in industry; both industry and academia have contributed towards making CubeSats much more capable. CubeSats can now perform many advanced missions, from technology demonstrations to Earth observation missions and science missions. Meanwhile, military satellite communications (MILSATCOM) continues to rely primarily on large, highly-capable satellites. CubeSats could augment MILSATCOM by providing many low-cost space terminals with short development times as a means to create a more robust communications suite. The CubeSat communications architecture proposed in this thesis aims to support mobile users in hostile environments who need to relay information to a command center. Jam-resistant communications are achieved by performing ground-based beam-forming (GBBF) on a radio-frequency (RF) uplink and relaying the information to a ground station via a laser communications (lasercom) downlink: each CubeSat acts as an element of a sparse antenna array. With the growth of free-space lasercom in the last decade, lasercom is now a reality on CubeSat-scale platforms. Lasercom systems have lower size, weight, and power (SWaP) compared to RF systems with similar data rates, making them a good fit for CubeSat platforms. GBBF is a special case of beamforming where each element of an antenna array relays its signal to a ground station for processing, minimizing complexity on the space terminal. Beam-forming provides anti-jamming capabilites due to the spacings between elements in the array, also known as spatial diversity. This spatial diversity allows spatial filtering to occur, which modifies the array's radiation pattern to mitigate interference, add gain to the main lobe, or add multiple beams. The system is designed with the goal of minimizing cost and development time, and two ways of accomplishing this are by supporting currently fielded handheld RF transmitters and by utilizing a lasercom downlink which is being developed as part of the Nanosatellite Optical Downlink Experiment (NODE) in MIT's Space, Telecommunications, Astronomy, and Radiation Lab (STARLab). This thesis builds on previous work done on the NODE project, specifically the waveform design for NODE. NODE is a 3U CubeSat demonstrating a lasercom down-link while in low Earth Orbit (LEO). NODE uses 200mW transmit power to obtain data rates from 8 Mbps to 80 Mbps. The Optical Communications Telescope Laboratory (OCTL) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and an amateur telescope will be used as optical ground stations. In order to send information to the ground station, NODE uses a waveform that provides forward error correction (FEC) and interleaving to mitigate channel effects. This thesis develops the channel coding, interleaving, modulation, and framing approach employed in the NODE waveform to provide error-free communications. A Reed-Solomon code, selected because of its performance and the existence of open-source implementations, provides error-correction capabilities. NODE uses a one-second interleaver to combat the effects of channel fading when the laser beam passes through the atmosphere. The transmitter uses pulse position modulation (PPM), an intensity modulation scheme that uses the delay of a single pulse within a symbol time to transmit information, due to the advantages in using a duty-cycled waveform with an average-power limited optical amplifier. Since the delay of the pulse conveys information for PPM, the transmitter clock must be recovered in order to properly demodulate the received waveform, and NODE uses inter-symbol guard times to encode the transmitter clock onto the waveform. Python simulations are presented showing that the channel coding, interleaving, and modulation are sufficient to obtain error-free communications with a target channel bit error rate (BER) of 1 x 10-⁴. The modulator is implemented within a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and the design, validation, and testing of the modulator are described. The feasibility of performing GBBF on RF uplinks to CubeSats in LEO, where each CubeSat acts as an element of an adaptive array, is examined. The high Doppler and large spacing between CubeSats requires the use of a space-time-frequency adaptive processor (STFAP). The STFAP consists of Doppler and delay taps, complex weights, an adaptive processor, a polyphase filter bank, and a polyphase combiner. The STFAP becomes infeasible as the Doppler and delay spread between different CubeSats increases, and analysis is used to identify scenarios where the Doppler and delay spreads seen in LEO are acceptable. Systems Tool Kit (STK) simulations are performed to analyze the Doppler and delay environment in LEO. Two CubeSat formations and multiple orientations between a user and jammer are examined to determine cases where null-forming, a special case of beamforming, is effective. A constellation is necessary to provide global coverage and maximize the effectiveness of null-forming, and two possible constellations are discussed.

The production - collection and parades - the Brazilian designer Jum Nakao constitutes a kind of Deleuzian Event in the sense, that is, it maintains a link with the fashion-creation, claiming satisfaction and constant innovation, but simultaneously provides a confrontation to the logic question the and rules of this market. The research "Jum Nakao: fashion and artistic thinking" seeks to establish intersections between the world of fashion and the visual arts, bringing actions of these two fields and theories of creation. The procedures adopted by the designer are analyzed through the prism of American theorist Rosalind Krauss and, especially, the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). The fashion designer s work discusses the dispossession and nomad thought, restless and in constant experimentation and without hierarchy. The first chapter presents the designer and their work context. Fashion covers as a spectacle that appropriates contemporary art, notably the performances and installations. The second examines the parade "A costura do invisível", held in 2004 in São Paulo Fashion Week, which the end of the presentation, the clothes carefully constructed tracing paper were destroyed before an audience that was stunned. The third chapter discusses the repetition of the image through the installation playmobil dolls "Revolver", presented in 2007 at the Museum Oscar Niemeyer (MOM), in Curitiba. The latter reflects on the installation "Vestígios vestíveis," which unfolds in small hexagonal modules emerged on the catwalk but in the exhibition space of Fashion Week in 2010
A produção coleção e desfiles - do estilista brasileiro Jum Nakao constitui-se numa espécie de Acontecimento no sentido deleuziano, ou seja, ele mantém um elo com o sistema modacriação, que reivindica satisfação e constante inovação, mas, simultaneamente, estabelece um confronto ao interrogar a lógica e as regras deste mercado. A pesquisa Jum Nakao: moda e pensamento artístico busca estabelecer intersecções entre o universo da moda e o das artes visuais, aproximando ações e teorias destes dois campos de criação. Os procedimentos adotados pelo estilista são analisados sob o prisma teórico da pensadora norte-americana Rosalind Krauss e, principalmente, do filósofo francês Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). O trabalho deste estilista problematiza a desterritorialização e o pensamento nômade, inquieto e em constante experimentação e sem hierarquização. O primeiro capítulo apresenta o estilista e seu contexto de trabalho. Aborda a moda como um espetáculo que se apropria da arte contemporânea, notadamente as performances e as instalações. O segundo analisa o desfile A costura do invisível , realizado em 2004, na São Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW), onde no final da apresentação, as roupas minuciosamente construídas em papel vegetal foram destruídas diante de um público perplexo. O terceiro capítulo discute a repetição da imagem através das bonecas playmobil na instalação Revolver , apresentada em 2007, no Museu Oscar Niemeyer (MOM), em Curitiba. O último reflete sobre a instalação Vestígios vestíveis , que se desdobra em pequenos módulos hexagonais surgidos não na passarela, mas no espaço expositivo da SPFW, em 2010

Full textAbstract:
Jacob Milich Falckenburg has on rare occasions in the twentieth century received recognition in notes and scholarly afterthoughts for his Latin verse retelling of the Apollonius of Tyre romance and dedicatory poem to Queen Elizabeth in 1578. In his own time Falckenburg, as a member of a wide circle of Central European humanists, served as a courtier and agent for the Holy Roman Empire and composed a range of verse which saw print in cities from Gdansk to London between 1564 and 1579. Prior to this study, the known facts of Falckenburg's life and works have been restricted to information gleaned from a limited number of the poet's printed works. Collected here are Jacob of Falckenburg's known works, together with a biographical sketch and a brief survey of his printed works. The biography of Jacob of Falckenburg traces the poet's movements from his early years in Wittenberg and Breslau, as a member of an important humanist family, through Vienna, Paris and Antwerp to London, while the survey of his printed works demonstrates that in his nearly twelve thousand lines of poetry Falckenburg has often relied on adaptation in his treatment of diverse subjects. Falckenburg's poetry is shown to include a number of epithalamia and celebratory poems, including three on Henri, King of Poland, while his religious works consist of paraphrases of scripture and sacred meditations. Jacob's magnum opus is the Historia Divi Apollonii, a Latin hexameter version of the Apollonius of Tyre romance. The importance of this poem in the context of the Apollonius romance's Latin and English traditions and, in particular, as a likely source for the play Pericles, Prince of Tyre, has warranted in this study a detailed discussion and commentary.

Hewitt, S. E. "J.M. Synge, modernism, and political protest." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2017. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/3011716/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the works of the Irish writer J.M. Synge (1871-1909). By first seeking to define and examine the tenets of Synge’s artistic, spiritual and political value system, and by considering his works in a broadly chronological order, this research shows that Synge’s writings (and his trajectory into modernism) were a reaction to both literary and social modernity. Over the course of his career, Synge’s foundational value system, or ‘creed’, was subjected to a number of shocks by his encounters with the modernisation of rural Ireland and the political climate of the cultural Revival, which led him to a continuous literary experimentation. Ultimately, this thesis argues that Synge’s work, as it moves towards an increasingly modernist aesthetic, can be understood as an act of both literary and political protest. One of the main innovations of this thesis is its methodology. Throughout, archival materials are used in order to uncover the processes of authorial revision undertaken prior to the publication of Synge’s texts, showing how he edited, glossed, and subverted his previous work in line with his changing views on modernisation and on his earlier, more overt Romanticism. In addition to this, each chapter of this thesis explores Synge’s composition alongside his contemporary reading materials, showing the influence of various writers and broader discourses on the works discussed. In doing so, the thesis uncovers Synge’s interest in occultism, his engagement with various socialist works, his reading in evolutionary theory, and his later reaction against early eugenic nationalisms, and demonstrates the close relationship between his published and performed works and these discourses. Furthermore, in showing the importance of socialist politics to Synge’s literary development, this thesis demonstrates how several concerns typical of modernism (such as occult spirituality, degeneration, and eugenics) are approached by a leftist writer, and how left-wing politics manifest in early modernist literature. By tracing Synge’s ongoing reaction to modernisation, and his trajectory into literary modernism, this thesis explores in detail the contested relationship between Revivalism and modernism in the Irish context, and thus, through a study of one of Ireland’s major dramatists, lays the groundwork for further scholarly exploration of the interplay between these two movements. Finally, by exploring Synge’s afterlife in modernist writings, both as a modernising impulse and as a figure of modernist protest, this thesis suggests ways in which the work of later modernists might be reassessed in light of Synge’s work.

Datry, Pierre. "Jim Jarmusch, cinéaste du presque rien." Paris 1, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA010615.
Full textAbstract:
À partir de la notion de presque rien empruntée au philosophe Vladimir Jankélévitch sera analysée l'œuvre de Jim Jarmusch au travers de sept films principaux qui sont : "Permanent Vacation", "Stranger than Paradise", "Down by Law", "Dead Man", "Ghost Dog", "Broken Flowers", "The Limits of Control". Le presque rien sera défini suivant les axes thématiques et esthétiques présents dans la filmographie du réalisateur. Thématiquement sera étudiée de quelle façon Jim Jarmusch prend le contre-pied de l'idéologie américaine communément admise du rêve américain. Il en résultera une poétique de la marginalité, des marginaux, de l'errance, du questionnement existentiel, de l'exil ainsi qu'une critique de la société américaine jusque dans ses principes fondateurs. Esthétiquement il sera mis en évidence que Jim Jarmusch s'inscrit à l'opposé du cinéma commercial hollywoodien défini depuis le début des années 80 par la logique du blockbuster. Les caractéristiques formelles des films de Jim Jarmusch seront ainsi analysées et mises en relation avec les références nombreuses auxquelles il se rapporte. De ces études comparées se dégagera le principe moteur à l'œuvre chez le cinéaste qui n'est plus celui de l'action mais relève d'un phénomène de perception-contemplative.

Includes bibliographical references.In this dissertation I examine through a close reading of J.M. Coetzee's Dusklands (1974) the textual dymamic that impels the two narrator-protagonists toward the solipsist position - the ground of the true Cartesian. I show how Eugene Dawn and Jacobus Coetzee are presented as products of Western print culture and children of René Descartes: literate and acutely self-conscious. I note how each conceives himself according to Descartes' mind-body dualism as primarily a thinking thing. I argue that this self-conception is reinforced by their paradoxical presence-as-absence as figures in a fiction.

This doctoral thesis analyzes the oeuvre of US film director Jim Jarmusch from the perspective of postmodern theories. By applying a series of parameters that explore the presence of typical postmodern aesthetic and ideological elements in his films, postmodernity is not viewed as a cultural current one is free to engage in, but rather as an environment one is unwillingly immersed in. The main foci of my analysis are the relationship between Jim Jarmusch's work and the work of other film directors and the lack of connection between his characters as well as a dissociative, fragmented environment which fails to integrate the various elements of Jarmusch's movies.

Full textAbstract:
This essay discusses rape and silence in J.M. Coetzee’s novel Disgrace, with focus on how and why the characters Melanie and Lucy are silenced after being raped. Paying special attention to gender and race, as well as the novel’s South African context, an attempt is made to consider how rape is represented in Disgrace, and how this representation is related to the silence of Melanie and Lucy. The discussion’s theoretical framework is based on feminist theories on sexual violence and rape, as well as theory on cultural scripts, sexual scripts, and rape myths. This essay finds that the rapes in J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace are representations of South Africa’s inverted racial power structures, and its traditional gender structures; structures that contribute to silencing Melanie and Lucy. This essay argues that Coetzee has deliberately activated South African cultural scripts in the text in an attempt to expose problematic viewpoints regarding gender and race in society, as well as in the reader.

Full textAbstract:
Although historians have done in-‐depth researched on Black police in the South, before the Civil War and during Reconstruction, they seldom assess black policemen’s role in New Orleans between the Battle of Liberty Place and 1913. The men discussed here argue that despite the hardening racial attitudes in Post-‐ Reconstruction South, in New Orleans opportunity still existed for Blacks to serve in positions of authority, perhaps a heritage of the city’s earlier tri-‐partite racial order. The information obtained from primary sources such as police manuals, beat books, and newspapers, counters the widely held belief that African American presence in the police during this period was completely defined by Jim Crow. This work presents updated and corrected evidence that Blacks were enrolled in the New Orleans Police Department during the time of Jim Crow, challenging the notion that after 1909 Blacks in New Orleans were not part of the police department.

Full textAbstract:
Memoria para optar al título de PeriodistaEste proyecto de título o memoria en el área multimedia está fundamentada en la necesidad de rediseñar y actualizar el sitio web de radio comunitaria y estudiantil Radio Juan Gómez Millas, de acuerdo a un diagnóstico y necesidad planteada por los memoristas y el propio equipo de realización del medio. Se plantea la creación de un nuevo sitio web y el diseño de una estrategia comunicacional digital que se le acople, y que sea utilizada para potenciar el posicionamiento de sus contenidos y de los distintos programas que se realizan. Radio JGM se define a sí misma como un medio comunitario y estudiantil. Comenzó funcionando con una señal terrestre, pero luego de la pérdida de ésta, dedicó esfuerzos al posicionamiento en la red como radio online. Está emplazado y funciona bajo el alero del Instituto de la Comunicación e Imagen de la Universidad de Chile, en el campus Juan Gómez Millas, desde donde se desprende su perfil universitario; pero además, está enraizada fuertemente con lo comunitario, desde la línea editorial que construye a la asociatividad con la que se propone avanzar. El proyecto nació en 2008, periodo desde el cual ejerce el académico Raúl Rodríguez como su director, y desde entonces ha logrado sistematizar un funcionamiento que se cimienta en el entendimiento que quienes la trabajan tienen sobre la sociedad y cuál debería ser su rol dentro de esta, siempre teniendo como norte la comunicación alternativa y las reivindicaciones sociales. Ocho años después, es posible constatar desarrollo y crecimiento sostenido como medio de comunicación. En la actualidad, ofrece más de veinte programas en promedio por temporada, con tópicos que abarcan deportes, problemáticas sociales, música chilena, y medioambiente. Además, dado su compromiso social y labor radial, Radio JGM ha logrado posicionarse como líder de un movimiento en red de radios comunitarias por su transformación en un centro de producción de contenidos y su rol activo en cada suceso de contingencia. Sin embargo, existe una gran piedra de tope en su funcionamiento y el alcance que le pueden dar al proyecto comunitario que se persigue: El actual sitio 3 web, que presenta diversas falencias y que impiden avanzar hacia un proyecto de radio online de calidad, adecuada a las nuevas tecnologías y la web 2.0. Quienes suscriben la memoria fueron parte estable de Radio JGM desde 2010 a 2013, y hasta la fecha se sostiene la relación con el medio con el fin de continuar colaborando. Este mismo trabajo se explica sobre esa idea.

Full textAbstract:
As otimizações de um programa podem ser efetuadas no código intermediário gerado na fase de compilação, ou através da Performance Refactoring que consiste na inserção de otimizações diretamente no código fonte da aplicação. Na estrutura do código fonte, os laços de iteração possuem um importante impacto no desempenho da aplicação, pois consomem elevados tempos de execução, sendo assim, é fundamental que estes sejam alvo de otimizações. Uma das otimizações de laço é o Unroll and Jam, que aplica operações de reestruturação de laços aninhados, permitindo utilizar eficientemente a hierarquia de memória. Os passos desta otimização consistem em primeiramente desenrolar os laços a serem otimizados, e posteriormente fusioná-los formando um bloco único de instrução. Neste trabalho se propôs usar refatoração de código para automatizar o Unroll and Jam de laços em nível do código fonte, o que possibilita acumular os efeitos da otimização no programa original com as melhorias tradicionais propiciadas pelo compilador na fase de otimização do código intermediário. A implementação foi realizada com base nas estruturas da ferramenta Photran 7.0, que consiste em um ambiente de desenvolvimento integrado para a linguagem Fortran 77-2008. Os resultados de desempenho obtidos demonstraram que a utilização de Unroll and Jam através da Performance Refactoring, com diferentes níveis de otimização, obteve ganhos significativos de desempenho em comparação a otimização realizada pelo com- pilador da Intel. Deve-se destacar que a aplicação conjunta de ambas as técnicas de oti- mização, originou resultados melhores que a utilização de uma técnica somente. Como trabalhos futuros, é interessante que novas pesquisas possam ser realizadas na obtenção de índices de desenrolamento ótimos e na aplicação conjunta de outras abordagens de otimização. Também pode haver estudos que permitam que outras otimizações sejam aplicadas pela Performance Refactoring.The optimizations of a program can be performed on the intermediate code, generated during compilation time, or through the Performance Refactoring that consists of insertion of optimizations directly in the source code of the application. In the source code structure, iteration loops have a major impact in the performance of the application because they are time-consuming code and, thus, an essential target of optimizations. One loop optimization is the Unroll and Jam that applies restructuring operations in nested loops allowing efficient usage of memory hierarchy. Its optimization steps are: to unroll the target loops, and to join them forming a single block of instruction. This work proposes the usage of refactoring to automate Unroll and Jam loops in source code level, allowing to accumulate the effects of optimization in the original pro- gram with the optimizations in the intermediate code by traditional compilers. The im- plementation was based on structures of Photran tool 7.0, which consists of an integrated development environment for Fortran 77-2008. The performance results using Unroll and Jam by Performance Refactoring with dif- ferent levels of unrolling, showed significant gains compared to the optimization per- formed by the Intel compiler. It should also be noted that the joint of both optimization techniques has led to better results than the use of an individual technique. As future works, new researches can be performed to obtain optimal rates of unrolling and to join the application of other optimization approaches. Furthermore, studies may search for optimizations to be applied by the Performance Refactoring.

Full textAbstract:
Cette etude, consacree a "l'intertextualite de l'oeuvre poetique de jim morrison," explore les sources (notamment nietzsche, rimbaud, artaud et kerouac) et les parentes litteraires ou thematiques de l'oeuvre (avec blake, huxley, yeats, lawrence, hesse). Son eclectisme reflete la nature heterogene de l'heritage poetique de morrison. En effet, ce dernier se situe a un veritable carrefour, cherchant dans le passe et le present un remede a sa vision pessimiste du futur d'une amerique gangrenee. La premiere partie de la these se penche sur la maniere dont l'artiste envisage la perception poetique, reprenant a sa maniere la problematique platonicienne de la vision humaine, voie d'acces et obstacle a la connaissance. La deuxieme partie developpe la mystique morrisonienne, dans le sillage de la tradition illuministe (reprise par blake, yeats et lawrence). Le raffinement de sa perception permet au poete de spiritualiser sa quete de la verite. Sa mort symbolique lui permet de decouvrir son etre spirituel, occulte par la societe, qui prone une exteriorisation excessive de la vision. Redecouvrant ainsi la dualite fondamentale de l'etre, le poete renait symboliquement a une sagesse ancienne, jusqu'alors latente. La troisieme partie s'interroge enfin sur la nature et le role de la creation artistique : morrison pousse a bout les theories syncretistes et, par la transmutation du langage, il s'efforce de creer un art total, universel, mobilisant toutes les ressources de l'homme. Il rejoint tres nettement les traditions alchimiques et chretiennes en assimilant d'abord l'artiste a l'adepte, recepteur et emetteur du message hermetique, puis a l'apotre, "pecheur d'ames" et martyrThis study concentrates on the notion of "intertextuality in the poetic works of jim morrison. " it explores the sources (notably nietzsche, rimbaud, artaud and kerouac) and the literary and thematic relationships of the work (with those of blake, huxley, yeats, lawrence, hesse). Its eclecticism reflects the heterogeneous nature of morrison's poetic legacy. Morrison is situated at a crossroads, seeking, in the literature of the past and the present, a solution to his pessimistic vision of a corrupted america. The first part of the thesis concentrates on the nature of poetic perception, re-assessing the platonic philosophy of human vision which simultaneously represents the key and obstacle to knowledge. The second part develops morrison's mysticism, in the wake of the illuminist tradition (reinterpreted by blake, yeats and lawrence). The purification of his perception allows the poet to spiritualize his quest for the truth. His symbolic death enables him to discover his spiritual being, denied by a society which advocates an excessive exteriorisation of man's vision. By thus rediscovering the fundamental duality of man's being, the poet is symbolically reborn into an ancient wisdom, until then latent within him. The third part questions the nature and the role of artistic creation : morrison pushes syncretist theories to the extreme and by a transmutation of language, he endeavours to create a universal art summoning up all of man's resources. In this way he adheres to the alchemical and christian traditions by assimilating the artist firstly with the adept, receiver and transmitter of the hermetic message, and secondly with the apostle, "fisher of souls' and martyr

Full textAbstract:
La leucémie aiguë promyélocytaire (lAP) se caractérise par le blocage du processus de différenciation des cellules de la lignée myéloïde au stade du promyélocyte. Ces promyélocytes anormaux portent la translocation réciproque t (l5;17) qui fusionne le gène du récepteur à l'acide rétinoïque (RARa) au gène PML. La protéine de fusion PML- RARα, résultant de cette translocation, perturbe les fonctions normales de RARα et de PML, et est donc considérée comme la cause majeure du processus de leucémogénèse. L'acide rétinoïque (AR) induit la différenciation des cellules LAPs et est utilisé comme traitement de cette pathologie. Cependant, les mécanismes moléculaires impliqués dans la maturation des lAPs à l'AR sont encore mal compris. Notre laboratoire a identifié le gène JEM-1, régulé par l'AR dans les cellules leucémiques NB4, au cours de leur maturation induite par l'AR. JEM-1 code un facteur nucléaire basique qui augmente l'activité transactivatrice du facteur de transcription AP-l in vitro. Toutefois son rôle dans le processus de différenciation n'est pas encore élucidé. Au cours de ce travail nous avons cherché à étudier plus en détails mécanismes de régulation transcriptionnelle de ce gène. Nous avons montré que l'expression de l'ARNm augmente au cours de la maturation des cellules NB4 et NB4-Rl selon une réponse biphasique. In vivo, nous avons montré que la rémission de la leucémie induite par un traitement à l'AR s'accompagnait d'une augmentation de l'expression de ce gène. L'accumulation des transcrits JEM-1 semble ainsi associée au processus de maturation, plutôt qu'à une réponse transcriptionnelle directe à l'AR. Le profil d'expression tissulaire montre que l'ARNm de JEM-1 est exprimé de façon ubiquitaire suggérant que le défaut d'expression observé est spécifique des LAPs. Nous avons déterminé la structure génomique du gène JEM-1 et caractérisé la composition en exon du transcrit. Le gène JEM-1 couvre un domaine d'au moins 30 kb. La détermination de la structure du gène a montré que l'ADNe de JEM-1 est composé de 7 exons. Un transcrit plus court, Jem-ls, généré par l'extension de l'exon 3 a été identifié. Ce transcrit contient les exons 1, 2 et 3 mais ne comporte pas les exons en aval qui codent notamment la "leucine-zipper" et les motifs PEST. Il code une protéine cytoplasmique d'un poids moléculaire apparent de 23 kDa. Le site d'initiation de la transcription a été identifié et la partie 5' promotrice du gène a été clonée. Une analyse in silico montre l'existence de plusieurs séquences régulatrices potentielles (SPI, C/EBP, AP-l,. . . ). Toutefois, aucun élément de réponse à l'acide rétinoïque n'a été identifié. Les études fonctionnelles menées à l'aide d'un vecteur reporteur luciférase, dans les cellules HeLa, montrent que cette région a une forte activité promotrice inductible par l'AR.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaThe relative anti-jam (AJ) performance of several diversity combiners are investigated. The modulation is 8-ary frequency-shift-keying (FSK), the demodulation process consists of energy detection of the eight frequency bins at each hop and the subsequent combining of detector outputs. Three combiners are considered : the linear combiner, where the detector outputs of each hop (corresponding to the same frequency bin) are summed without any processing; the self-normalized combiner, where the eight detector outputs of any particular hop are normalized so that they add to unity; and the max-normalized combiner, where the eight detector outputs of any hop are divided by the maximum value among those eight outputs. Results indicate that under worst-case tone jamming, the selfnormalized combiner performs the best, the max-normalized combiner second best, and the linear combiner performs the worst among the three.

This thesis articulates the resonances between J.M. Coetzee's lifelong engagement with mathematics and his practice as a novelist, critic, and poet. Though the critical discourse surrounding Coetzee's literary work continues to flourish, and though the basic details of his background in mathematics are now widely acknowledged, his inheritance from that background has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive and mathematically- literate account. In providing such an account, I propose that these two strands of his intellectual trajectory not only developed in parallel, but together engendered several of the characteristic qualities of his finest work. The structure of the thesis is essentially thematic, but is also broadly chronological. Chapter 1 focuses on Coetzee's poetry, charting the increasing involvement of mathematical concepts and methods in his practice and poetics between 1958 and 1979. Chapter 2 situates his master's thesis alongside archival materials from the early stages of his academic career, and thus traces the development of his philosophical interest in the migration of quantificatory metaphors into other conceptual domains. Concentrating on his doctoral thesis and a series of contemporaneous reviews, essays, and lecture notes, Chapter 3 details the calculated ambivalence with which he therein articulates, adopts, and challenges various statistical methods designed to disclose objective truth. Chapter 4 explores the thematisation of several mathematical concepts in Dusklands and In the Heart of the Country. Chapter Five considers Waiting for the Barbarians and Foe in the context provided by Coetzee's interest in the attempts of Isaac Newton to bridge the gap between natural language and the supposedly transparent language of mathematics. Finally, Chapter 6 locates in Elizabeth Costello and Diary of a Bad Year a cognitive approach to the use of mathematical concepts in ethics, politics, and aesthetics, and, by analogy, a central aspect of the challenge Coetzee's late fiction poses to the contemporary literary landscape.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis is the result of an immersion in the work of J.M. Coetzee. I have taken various of Coetzee’s novels, namely Elizabeth Costello: Eight Lessons, Disgrace, The Master of Petersburg, Foe, Life & Times of Michael K and Slow Man, and constructed readings of these novels from the inside out. The overarching concern of the dissertation is the notion of subjectivity and Coetzee’s methods of representing subjectivity. It is my contestation that the experience of authentic subjective awareness arises from the process of reading itself. It is not a state of being that is described by the text, but rather a layered constellation of substitutive exchanges that emerges from the process of textual relation. The notion of embeddedness serves as a description of the way in which the text materializes this experience of subjectivity. The structure of exploration in each chapter has taken as its paradigm a conceptual concern arising from the text itself. In the first chapter (Elizabeth Costello) the concern is with structure itself. The character of Elizabeth struggles against the limitation inherent in the process of representation; this struggle is read as an indication of authentic subjective experience in the face of reduction to a system of codes. The second chapter (Disgrace) attempts to formulate the dynamic of subjective awareness in romantic terms. I construct a reading of Lurie’s predicament in terms that arise from his conceptual environment, in order to indicate the primacy of textual materiality as the locus of subjective awareness. The notion of the classic informs the third chapter (The Master of Petersburg). I use an essay by Coetzee to delineate a conception of the classic, which is then applied as a theoretical framework for an exploration of Dostoevsky’s pursuit of his stepson. The fourth and last chapter (Foe, Life & Times of Michael K and Slow Man) focuses on Coetzee’s use of the body as a figure for embedded subjectivity. It emerges that the body as a trope of embeddedness forms an important aspect of Coetzee’s work throughout his career. As such it is a very suitable figure for describing the dynamics of embeddedness as a mode of representation that aligns itself with the textual materiality of subjective being.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis het ontstaan as die gevolg van ‘n noukeurige ondersoek na die werk van J.M. Coetzee. Ek het myself laat begelei deur die inhoud van verskeie van Coetzee se boeke, naamlik Elizabeth Costello: Eight Lessons, Disgrace, The Master of Petersburg, Foe, Life & Times of Michael K en Slow Man, om intensiewe lesings van hierdie boeke te konstrueer. Die oorkoepelende bemoeienis van die verhandeling is die konsep van subjektiwiteit en Coetzee se metodes van subjektiewe voorstelling. Ek beweer dat die ervaring van outentieke subjektiewe gewaarwording gesetel is in die leesproses. Dit is nie ‘n toestand van wese wat deur die teks beskryf word nie, maar eerder ‘n verweefde raamwerk van substituwe wisseling wat kom uit die proses van tekstuele relasie. Die konsep van inlywing (“embeddedness”) dien as 'n beskrywing van die manier waarop die teks hierdie ervaring van subjektiwiteit konkretiseer. Die struktuur van ondersoek in elke hoofstuk neem as paradigma 'n konsepsuele vraagstuk wat reeds gesetel is in die teks. In die eerste hoofstuk (Elizabeth Costello) is die bemoeienis met struktuur as sodanig. Elizabeth se karakter stry teen die inperking wat noodwending saamgaan met die proses van voorstelling; hierdie stryd word gelees as 'n aanduiding van outentieke subjektiewe ervaring teenoor die druk van vermindering tot 'n stel kodes. Die tweede hoofstuk (Disgrace) poog om die dinamiek van subjektiewe bewustheid te formuleer in terme wat afkomstig is van die romantiek. Ek konstrueer 'n lees van Lurie se toestand in terme wat kom van sy konsepsuele omgewing, om sodoende die voorrang van tekstuele materialiteit as die lokus van outentieke subjektiwiteit aan te dui. Die konsep van die klassieke belig die derde hoofstuk (The Master of Petersburg). Ek gebruik 'n essay van Coetzee om 'n begrip van die klassieke te formuleer, wat dan toegepas word as 'n teoretiese raamwerk waarbinne Dostoevsky se soeke na sy stiefseun ondersoek word. Die vierde en laaste hoofstuk (Foe, Life & Times of Michael K en Slow Man) fokus op Coetzee se gebruik van die liggaam as 'n figuur vir ingelyfde subjektiwiteit. Dit blyk dat die liggaam as 'n figuur van inlywing 'n prominente aspek van Coetzee se werk vorm deur sy loopbaan. As sodaning is dit 'n baie handige figuur om die dinamiek van inlywing te beskryf as 'n modus van voorstelling wat sigself koppel aan die materialiteit van die teks.
