Abstract:
This article focuses on one of the most popular plots in fairy tale culture (the plot involving the protagonist Tom Thumb), and tries to explain this popularity through the cultural archetypes that are expressed in the fairy tale. The author analyzes fairy tales of different nations involving this particular character and draws a boundary between the literary fairy tale, which is a transformation of old French fairy tales written by Charles Perrault, and different variations of literary fairy tale written by the brothers Grimm. The research shows that it is impossible to apply Propp’s method, which allows the plot to be analyzed in regard to functions and character types, to the analysis of this fairy tale. The author assumes that the fairy tale about Tom Thumb may not be regarded as magic for various reasons. On the other hand, it may be treated as an animal tale, which in Propp’s approach is assumed to have a different structure from a magic fairy tale. The researcher draws a conclusion about the different archetypes that serve as the basis for Perrault’s literary fairy tales, and the numerous variations of the plot which we may relatively denominate as “Grimms’ plot.” Furthermore, in folk tales having Grimms’ plot, Tom Thumb simultaneously performs the role of cultural hero and the role of a trickster. This is absent from Perrault’s fairy tale, because the propaganda of moral values and a distinct didactic character are traditional features of French fairy tales.

Abstract:
Kemiskinan dan estetika sebagai dua konsep kontras disatukan sastra dalam artikel ini melalui pembahasan konstruksi kemiskinan sebagai strategi estetis dalam dua dongeng; Hansel and Gretel dan Tom Thumb. Konsep kemiskinan sebagai 'kekurangan' disajikan sebagai strategi untuk mendapatkan perhatian pembaca, konsensus nilai, moral, dan ideologi dalam narasi dua dongeng dipetakan dalam artikel ini untuk mengungkapkan konsekuensi narasi pada lingkungan sosial. Melalui teori representasi Stuart Hall, konstruksi pengetahuan tentang kemiskinan dilacak dalam teks menggunakan pendekatan konstruksionis. Kami memilih model diskursif dalam analisis diskursif Foucauldian untuk menghubungkan data intrinsik novel dengan konteks sosial sehingga silsilah rezim kebenaran terlacak. Hasil analisis ini menunjukkan upaya oligarki melanggengkan avant garde; sebagai penguasa yang tepat atas orang miskin. Diksi yang dipilih dalam teks-teks mengarah pada kesimpulan bahwa kemiskinan identik dengan kejahatan: kondisi alam melegitimasi kekerasan oleh mereka yang miskin. Kedua dongeng tersebut menjadi alat untuk menyebarkan ideologi borjuis melalui naturalisasi narasi.

Abstract:
Historians of early-seventeenth-century English religion are deeply divided over whether the church of the 1630s was characterized by more general theological and liturgical agreement and tolerant ecumenism, or by escalating conflict over theology and ceremonies, driven in part by virulent anti-popery and culminating in the violence of the 1640s. Those who see conflict acknowledge that such categories as Puritan and Anglican are unwarranted for what was really a spectrum of opinion, with the moderate range heavily occupied. Still, they find antecedents of the Civil War in longstanding quarrels over theology and ceremony. For those who find the Caroline church a consensual body, on the other hand, the causes of that war “remain elusive.” Having discarded as simplistic the plot line of the received version, which proceeds inexorably from Elizabethan dissent to “Puritan Revolution,” they now substitute short-term contingency and the sudden flourishing of a lunatic fringe. In the process of trying to sort out the complexity of contemporary theological opinion, they have lost the thread of the story they were trying to tell.

The tales about the miniature have been attractive to readers at least since the first-printed “Tom Thumb” was published in England in 1621. In the nineteenth century, the Bothers Grimm’s “Tom Thumb” and Hans Christian Andersen’s “Thumbelina” were published. E. B. White published Stuart Little in 1945. Those tales and works of fiction provide readers a fantastic world. The miniature characters change after centuries. In the first-printed and the Grimm versions, the miniature characters are two tiny heroes. Andersen creates adventures of a female character in his “Thumbelina”. White’s miniature hero is the most special one. Stuart Little is a small hero who looks like a mouse. This thesis applies Susan Stewart’s concepts of aesthetic reception to analyze the stories and study the intertextuality between the different versions in their socio-historical contexts. The thesis is divided into five chapters. In Chapter I, the developments of literature for children and the backgrounds of the authors in the different centuries are introduced. I also introduce Stewart’s theory of aesthetic reception of the miniature. In Chapter II, through the comparison of the first-printed “Tom Thumb” and the Grimm “Tom Thumb”, the miniature aesthetics can be observed in the class background, the supernatural birth, adventures and the ending. The two miniature tales belong to the folktale genre. In Chapter III, I discuss the intertextuality of the Grimm “Tom Thumb” and Andersen’s “Thumbelina” in supernatural birth, adventures, romantic power, and ending. Andersen adds his romantic aesthetics to the writing in his miniature tale. He also presents his criticism of marriage through Thumbelina’s adventures. In Chapter IV, E. B. White’s Stuart Little also has an unusual birth. There are some similarities and differences in Stuart’s adventures that parody previous miniature characters’ lives and traditional thought, such as White writes his thoughts about finding a fitting mate for Stuart. Because the ending of this story is an open ending, White does not use the traditional happy ending of the folktales. Chapter V concludes this comparison of the miniature in tradition and modern stories for children, reflecting on the reception such stories have received.

Abstract:
The thesis From Tom Thumb (Paleček) to Eulenspiegel or Prosopography in humanist entertainment prose is an analysis of main literary characters of selected Czech books of folk reading. Opening part is dedicated to the Renaissance and Renaissance culture in general. The periodization and brief characteristic of Czech humanist literature from the years between the half of the 15th century and the 1620?s is mentioned further. The thesis gives more detailed look at entertainment prose and primarily discusses books of folk literature which were integral part of Czech verbal culture. The analytic part is focused on prosopography in several books of folk reading ? Eulenspiegel, Tom Thumb (Paleček), Franta?s Law and Doctor Faust. The aim is to describe main characters, capture their artistic depiction and foremost to assess their moral code.

Abstract:
Abstract Assessment of neuromuscular blockade during anesthesia is achieved using the Train of Four (TOF) monitoring technique. However, current devices are limited to conditions in which the hand can move freely during operation. The goal of this project was to design, prototype, and test a device which extends the TOF technique to conditions where movement is restricted. Interviews were conducted with stakeholders to better understand the need for this device and to get feedback on preliminary designs. The resulting device consists of a thumb-mounted balloon, which converts the force due to thumb twitches into pressure, which then acts as the physical analog to muscle response. This pressure is transduced and analyzed to produce a TOF count and TOF ratio. A prototype was constructed and tested on human subjects with different hand geometries.

Abstract:
Even as the use of flexible graphite heat spreaders becomes ubiquitous in mobile electronics, numerically quantifying the heat dissipation remains a challenge. The rapid pace of development of mobile devices has deterred the industry from establishing standards, and rules of thumb are few, as are closed-form solutions. Users have requested numerical methods and tools to simplify the selection of flexible graphite heat spreaders from among the standard thicknesses and grades, as well as to quantify the effect of changing heat transfer area and configuration. In the presence of adjacent layers — adhesives, dielectrics, or still air gaps — the thin nature of the materials and the high, orthogonal thermal conductivity ratios of the graphite combine to create a complex conjugate heat transfer problem. Although the thinnest of these sheets constitute but a tiny fraction of the thickness of a cell phone or tablet, their dominant role in the heat transfer requires that they not be neglected in the calculations. Some CFD software guidelines advise using multiple meshing layers to capture fully the heat transfer in these spreaders, while others (primarily FEA based) provide a plate element that negates the need for discretization. In the former, a fully meshed spreader confounds the goal of a quick calculation, but the flexibility of 3D solution also demands meticulous attention to the details, provides “an answer” that is easy to misinterpret, and in the hands of an unskilled user, invites error. The goal of this project is to establish the guidelines for computing heat spreading in graphite, including cell dimension ratio, mesh density, spreading radius, and transport capacity and to marry the orthogonal properties of the material with the row-column format of a spreadsheet or matrix software. It also reviews methods for addressing the non-orthotropic situations such as angled plates, and the curved surfaces seen in the case of graphite wraps and flexible hinges. There are cases in which a simple contact resistance value adequately represent a graphite thermal interface material, but others that require an accounting for the lateral conductivity that increases the efficacy of the TIM. Finally, the error of the calculation is assessed for a simple representative geometry.
