Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Tech. (Civil engineering)) - Central University of Technology, free State, 2013<br>Hydrological models have become vital tools for understanding hydrologic processes at the catchment level. In order to use model outputs for tasks ranging from regulation to research, models should be scientifically sound, robust, and tenable. Model evaluation is therefore beneficial in the acceptance of models to support scientific research and to guide policy, regulatory, and management decision-making. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the SWAT model in simulating stream flow for the Modder River Basin. The study area is situated at -29° 11’ latitude and 26° 6’ longitude at an elevation of 1335 m and drains a land area of 949 km2. The land cover is mainly grassland (pasture) with other minor land use types. The climate of the area is semi-arid with Mean Annual Precipitation (MAP) of 563 mm. Two techniques that are widely used in evaluating models, namely quantitative statistics and graphical techniques, were applied to evaluate the performance of the SWAT model. Three quantitative statistics, namely Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), percent bias (PBIAS), and ratio of the mean square error to the standard deviation of measured data (RSR), in addition to the graphical techniques, were identified to be used in model evaluation. Results of calibration and validation of the model at a monthly time step gave NSE of 0.65, Pbias of 15 and RSR of 0.4, while NSE of 0.5, Pbias of 31 and RSR of 0.5 were recorded for validation. According to monthly model performance ratings, the model performed well during calibration and performed satisfactory during the validation stage.

Kissinger, Jeffrey Scott. "A Collective Case Study of Mobile E-Book Learning Experiences." UNF Digital Commons, 2011. http://digitalcommons.unf.edu/etd/127.
Full textAbstract:
This research was designed to explore the learning experiences of state college students using mobile e-book readers. The purpose of the study was to build a rich description of how students used electronic textbooks delivered on mobile computing devices for college-level, introductory sociology courses. This research employed a multiple case study design that thoroughly investigated and documented student experiences with this instructional technology.
The bounding frame was comprised of the literature on mobile technology, mobile learning theories, and e-books. Situated within the mobile learning framework was a theoretical lens of learning theories commonly found in the literature on mobile learning (constructivism, social cognitive theory, self-efficacy theory, expectancy x value theory, self-determination theory, and situated cognition). This lens was used to provide insight into the student’s learning experiences.
This study was comprised of data from a variety of sources that were chosen for their ability to produce insight into the learning experiences of mobile e-book students taking introduction to sociology courses at a Southeastern public state college. The data analysis was comprised of three levels of increasing stages of granular examination. These included level one: descriptive summaries of student cases, level two: student and instructor interview data and excerpts from audio recording transcriptions organized by topical categories, and level three: cross-case synthesis relating to the theoretical framework and research questions.
Students were found to be competent with the e-books, confident, metacognitive, and desirous of more social learning opportunities within their e-books. By addressing the primary research question and the subquestions, six major conclusions were reached. These were: (a) students expressed competence in their use of the mobile e-books, (b) students expressed feelings of high self-efficacy when using the mobile e-books, (c) students overall valued the use of the e-book for their learning, (d) students were individualized and metacognitive in their learning with the mobile e-books, (e) students enhanced their learning socially and within situated learning opportunities, and (f) the students and the instructor had divergent views on the value and utility of social, interactive textbooks.
Increasing understanding of the use of electronic and mobile instructional technologies such as e-books may better assist educational leaders with preparing students for today’s global knowledge economy. Based on the conclusions of this study, recommendations for future research and educational leadership were addressed.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1930s, Oregon State University received an impressive oversized manuscript, now known as "The Gradual," as part of a large donation of books. Not much was known about this manuscript. It does not have documentation attached from the time of its acquisition, nor had any methodical study been undertaken regarding the manuscript. This thesis examines the OSU Gradual, aiming to provide research tools for the identification of musical manuscripts of unknown or unclear provenance that could be useful to conservators, archivists, and librarians, irrespective of musical training. It is conceived as a "rough guide" for working situations where there is no dedicated manuscript specialist, in particular, a fulltime Latin paleographer or a chant scholar overseeing a massive collection. Instead, its "how-to" nature addresses curators and catalogers managing smaller manuscript collections as generalists, offering an interdisciplinary approach both beneficial and suitable to the aims of this study.

Henningsgaard, Per Hansa. "Outside traditional book publishing centres : the production of a regional literature in Western Australia." University of Western Australia. English and Cultural Studies Discipline Group, 2008. http://theses.library.uwa.edu.au/adt-WU2008.0255.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a study of book publishing as it contributes to the production of a regional literature, using Western Australian publishing and literature as illustrative examples of this dynamic. 'Regional literature' is defined in this thesis as writing possessing cultural value that is specific to a region, although the writing may also have national and international value. An awareness of geographically and culturally diverse regions within the framework of the nation is shown to be derived from representations of these regions and their associated regional characteristics in the movies, television and books. In Australia, literature has been the primary site for expressions of regional difference. Therefore, this thesis analyses the impact of regionalism on the processes of book production and publication in Western Australias three major publishing houses a trade publishing house (Fremantle Press), an Indigenous publishing house (Magabala Books), and an academic publishing house (University of Western Australia Press). Book history, print culture studies and publishing studies, along with literary studies and cultural studies, roughly approximate a disciplinary map of the types of research that constitute this thesis. By examining regional literature in the context of its 'field of cultural production', this thesis maintains that regionalism and regional literature can avail themselves of a fresh perspective that shows them to be anything but marginal or exclusive. Regionalism has been a topic of peripheral interest, at least as far as scholarly research and academia are concerned, because those who are most likely to be affected by and thus interested in the topic, are also those who are most disempowered as a result of its attendant dynamics. However, as this thesis clearly demonstrates, access (or a lack thereof) to the field of cultural production (which in the case of print culture includes writers, literary agents, editors, publishers, government arts organisations, the media, schools, book clubs, and book retailers, just to name a few) plays a significant role in establishing and shaping an identity for marginalised 3 constituencies. The implications for this research are far-ranging, since both Western Australia and Australia can be understood as peripheries dominated in their different spheres (the 'national' and the 'international', respectively) by literary cultures residing elsewhere. Furthermore, there are parallels between this dynamic and the dynamic responsible for producing postcolonial literatures. The three publishing houses detailed in this thesis are disadvantaged by many of the factors associated with their distance from the traditional centres of book publishing, while at the same time producing a regional literature that serves as a platform from which the state broadcasts its distinctive contributions to the cultural landscape and to a wider understanding of concepts such as space, place and belonging. These publishing houses changed the way in which Australians and others have come to know and think about 'Australia', re-routing public consciousness and the national imagination.

Full textAbstract:
The current doctoral study uncovered and revived 28 autograph cantatas for Soprano and Basso Continuo composed between 1704 and 1705 by Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725). The studied cantatas are held in a manuscript containing 36 cantatas (one of which misses the beginning) in Yale University, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, James Marshall and Marie-Louise Osborn Collection, Call Number: Osborn Music MS 2. The historical context in which the cantatas were written and performed is introduced. A physical description of the manuscript follows, with the aim to assist the reader in achieving a better appreciation and understanding of these cantatas in terms of performance practice. The relation between the text and the music, and the adaptation of the rhetorical characteristics of the text into music, are two of the most salient features of this cantata collection. These features are described in great detail and their implications for the performance of the cantatas have been explored. A major contribution of this study in the field of performance practice is the production of a modern performing edition with an editorial commentary and of a recording of the 28 autograph cantatas with harpsichord accompaniment.

Seleção de coleções de livros digitais_REPOSITORIO.pdf: 3162062 bytes, checksum: 444614ecc42ee0067a0c1e9d5dc72eff (MD5)<br>CNPq<br>A presente pesquisa foca a formação de coleções de livros digitais nas bibliotecas universitárias públicas do Brasil. Essa recente tipologia de livros parece impor elementos novos que devem ser considerados ao se planejar sua introdução num acervo. Esses novos elementos abarcam uma gama de questões que interferem não só na cadeia das operações de organização, tratamento e recuperação da informação, mas, se situam em fases anteriores a começar pela seleção e aquisição das coleções digitais. Toma-se como universo de investigação as bibliotecas universitárias públicas brasileiras por serem organismos que, impulsionados pelo avanço dos recursos tecnológicos, necessitam criar um ambiente inovador para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas proporcionando aos usuários novas coleções e facilidades de acesso o que nos leva a analisá-las com o objetivo de elucidar variáveis presentes nesse processo. Questiona-se como e em que bases (políticas e ou diretrizes) realizam-se a seleção das coleções de livros digitais adquiridos pelas universidades públicas do Brasil para alicerçar essas escolhas. Com isso, o objetivo da pesquisa é averiguar os parâmetros de seleção dos livros eletrônicos para inserção nas coleções das bibliotecas universitárias públicas, se as políticas contemplam os recursos digitais para a formação dessas coleções. A pesquisa pode ser classificada como descritiva, com uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. A técnica de coleta de dados que melhor se adequou a proposta foi o método survey, utilizando como instrumento de coleta de dados o questionário estruturado via web e o mapeamento nos portais das Universidades. A partir do referencial teórico levantado verificou-se que o mercado de livros digitais no Brasil está em franca expansão, porém a oferta de livros técnico-científicos em português que suprem as necessidades das bibliotecas universitárias, ainda é restrita. A partir da análise dos dados constatou-se que, a maior parte das universidades públicas federais, disponibilizam coleções de livros digitais em duas modalidades: assinatura e acesso perpétuo, cujo conteúdo é selecionado parcialmente pelas universidades. Esses livros digitais são disponibilizados nas plataformas dos editores ou agregadores/distribuidores de conteúdo, que são também responsáveis pelo acesso, armazenamento e controle dos direitos autorias, ainda que, em alguns casos, a custódia dos livros seja da universidade. Houve uma simetria no resultado referente à política de desenvolvimento de coleções, metade declarou que o acervo de livros eletrônicos atende a política e a outra metade que atende parcialmente.<br>This research focuses on the formation of collections of digital books in university public libraries of Brazil. This recent book´s typology seems to impose new elements that should be considered when planning its introduction in collections. These new elements cover a range of issues that affect not only the chain of the organization operation, processing and retrieval of information, but it lies at the earlier stages starting with the selection and acquisition of digital collections. Take as the universe of research the Brazilian´s university public libraries that driven by the advancement of technological resources, needs to create an innovative environment for the development of research providing for users new collections and access facilities which leads us to analyze them in order to elucidate the variables in the process. Wonders how and on what basis (politics and guidelines) are held selection of collections of digital books purchased by public universities in Brazil to underpin these choices. Thus, the aim of the research is to ascertain the parameters selection of electronic books for inclusion in the public collections of university libraries, if it policies includes digital resources for the formation of these collections. The research can be classified as descriptive in a qualitative and quantitative approach. The technique of data collection that best suited the proposal was the survey method, using as an instrument of data collection structured questionnaire via web portals and mapping in the Universities. From the theoretical referential was verified that the digital book market in Brazil is booming, but the provision of technical and scientific books in Portuguese to serve the needs of academic libraries, is still limited. From the data analysis it was found that most federal public universities, offer collections of digital books in two ways: subscription and perpetual access, whose contents are partially selected by the universities. These books are available in digital platforms of publishers or aggregators / distributors of content, which are also responsible for the access, storage and control of copyrights, although in some cases, the custody of the books is in the university. There was a symmetry in the results for the collection development policy, half stated that the collection of electronic books meets policy and the other half backorders.

Dissertação Lívia.pdf: 3093407 bytes, checksum: 7ca05a4f753865b35cf0cfae35c3b346 (MD5)<br>O uso do livro eletrônico e a mediação da informação na Biblioteca Universitária de Saúde da UFBA constituem a temática desta dissertação, que teve como intuito verificar se a disponibilização de livros eletrônicos à comunidade de estudantes de graduação da área de saúde da UFBA tem resultado em uso efetivo desse material. Desdobrando-se como objetivos específicos buscou-se avaliar o grau de incorporação do livro eletrônico nas bibliografias básicas e complementares das disciplinas; verificar a frequência de uso do livro eletrônico nas disciplinas dos cursos da área de saúde da UFBA; identificar as facilidades e dificuldades de utilização do livro eletrônico pelos discentes e docentes; verificar a existência de ações mediadoras desenvolvidas pelos bibliotecários para estimular o uso dos livros eletrônicos. Quanto ao nível de investigação a pesquisa caracterizou-se como descritiva, cuja investigação se deu através de um levantamento para identificar os cursos da área de saúde contemplados com livros eletrônicos, associado ao método documental para analisar os programas das disciplinas dos diversos cursos da área de saúde e ao método de estudo de caso para verificar a incorporação do livro eletrônico nas disciplinas dos cursos da área de saúde da UFBA. Para a obtenção das informações optou-se pela adoção da técnica de entrevista junto aos docentes, bibliotecárias, servidora técnica-administrativa e gestora do Sistema de Bibliotecas da UFBA e aplicação de questionário junto aos discentes das disciplinas selecionadas para composição da amostra que foi constituída por 3 (três) disciplinas do Curso de Medicina e 2 (duas) do Curso de Nutrição. A análise dos dados realizou-se a partir da integração das abordagens quantitativas e qualitativas. Os resultados demonstraram que não houve uma incorporação do livro eletrônico às bibliografias básicas e complementares das disciplinas da área de saúde da UFBA; que a frequência de uso desse dispositivo ainda é muito pequena, apesar dos usuários enumerarem diversas facilidades para o seu uso, a exemplo da facilidade de uso e compartilhamento de conteúdos; como dificuldade foi apontado o cansaço visual e constatou-se limitações nas práticas de mediação da informação desenvolvidas pelos bibliotecários. Resultados esses que, analisados à luz da literatura que sustentou este estudo, geraram como principal conclusão a necessidade de construção de uma política institucional promovida pelo SIBI/UFBA para que de fato, haja um estímulo ao uso dos diversos dispositivos de informação disponíveis nas suas bibliotecas, entre eles o livro eletrônico, assim como, a elaboração e promoção de ações mediadoras para o desenvolvimento no estudante de competências para realizar a busca, o acesso e uso das fontes de informação em sua plenitude e em quaisquer formatos e suportes.<br>ABSTRACT The use of e-book and mediation of information on Health University Library of UFBA constitute the theme of this dissertation, which had the intention to verify the availability of electronic books to graduate students community healthcare UFBA has resulted in use effective this material. Unfolding specific objectives sought to assess the degree of incorporation of the electronic book in the basic and complementary bibliographies of disciplines; check the use frequency of the electronic book in the subjects of the courses of healthcare UFBA; identify the strengths and difficulties of use of the electronic book by students and teachers; check for mediating actions developed by librarians to encourage the use of electronic books. As for the research level research was characterized as descriptive, whose research was made through a survey to identify the healthcare courses awarded eBooks associated with the documentary method to analyze the programs of disciplines from various area courses health and case study method to check the incorporation of the electronic book in the subjects of the courses of healthcare UFBA. To obtain the information we opted for the adoption of the interview technique with teachers, librarians, technical-administrative server and manager of the UFBA Library System and a questionnaire to the students of the subjects selected for the sample composition consisted of 3 (three) disciplines of Medical Course and 2 (two) of the Nutrition Course. The data analysis was carried out from the integration of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results showed that there wasn’t incorporation of electronic book to basic and complementary bibliographies of the disciplines of health course UFBA; the frequency of use of this device is still very small, despite the users enumerate several facilities for its use, such as the ease of use and content sharing; difficulty was appointed as eye strain and it was found limitations in information mediation practices developed by librarians. The results were analyzed based on literature that supported this study, generated as main conclusion the need for building an institutional policy promoted by SIBI/UFBA so that in fact, there is a stimulus to the use of various information devices available in their libraries, including the e-book, as well as, the development and promotion of mediating actions to develop the student skills to perform the search, access and use of information sources in its fullness and in any format and media.

Full textAbstract:
The Well Child/Tamariki Ora Health Book (the Plunket book) is a small booklet given to New Zealand mothers on the birth of a child. It has been used by nurses as a tool to record growth and development from birth to five years since the 1920s. Although use of the book decreases over time, it is frequently kept within the family and handed on from mother to child. Utilising an oral history approach, this study has traced the development of the Plunket book over time and explored the experiences of a group of 34 women and one man who have reflected on their ownership of, or involvement with, Plunket books. The study found that the Plunket book remains an effective clinical tool for mothers and nurses. Mothers have used the book as a tool to link past with present, to maintain kinship ties across generations, to deal with change intergenerationally, and in a manner that contributes to their self-identity as woman and mother. Although mothers were able to use the book to affirm their own knowledge and that of their mothers, a medically dominated discourse persists in the book. The book has also played a role in facilitating the interaction between mother and nurse, providing an opportunity to explore the relationship in detail. The study found that the most successful relationships at any time were those that bordered the division between a professional relationship and a personal one: it was not the information that nurses offered but the interaction and resulting care they provided that was important to the mothers in the study. The study recommends that nurses and other health professionals continue to use the Plunket book as a clinical tool mindful of the fact that the book remains in use beyond the health professional’s immediate involvement with the mother and child, playing an important role in the context of the New Zealand family across generations. Future versions of the book should contain written reference to the strengths and abilities the mother holds as she cares for her child, reaffirming her role and identity as mother not only when her children are younger but as they grow and become parents themselves.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to test the extended industry shock hypothesis, which accounts for a macro-economic capital liquidity element, in determining the drivers of merger waves. Various theories have been extended by the literature and these are broadly classified under the neo-classical theory of merger waves and the behavioural theory of merger waves. Behavioural theories have explained merger waves by taking into account the psychology of stock markets and the occurrence of merger waves during a stock market boom. The industry shock hypothesis (a neo-classical theory) however, argues that merger waves are due to the clustering of industry shocks that affect an industry’s operating environment. Along with this shock, the mis-valuation caused by a stock market boom increases asset values, thereby lowering transaction costs and hence increasing capital liquidity in the economy. This capital liquidity factor causes merger waves to cluster even if industry shocks do not. The findings in this study show that industry level merger waves exist in Australia and they occur when there is sufficient capital liquidity in the economy. The industry shock variables are found to be insignificant; however they do improve the explanatory power of the explanatory variables used in predicting the start of a merger wave. The mis-valuation variables used in this study: market-to-book ratio, 3-year return and standard deviation of the 3-year return, are insignificant and do not have any explanatory powers in predicting the start of a merger wave. Merger and acquisition announcements made to acquire Australian firms listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), are collected and analysed for the period from 1996 to 2007. The methodology used in this study is adopted from Harford (2005), which uses legit models to predict the start of merger waves. The explanatory variables are also adopted from Harford’s (2005) study and include proxies for mis-valuation, industry shock and capital liquidity. Overall, the results obtained for the Australian merger and acquisition data are inconclusive as to whether industry shocks because industry merger waves as Harford (2005) documented for the US merger and acquisition data. However, industry level merger waves do exist, as there is clustering in time of firm-level mergers within industries. Moreover, sufficient capital liquidity must be present to accommodate the necessary transactions.

Previous issue date: 2016-09-30<br>PROQUALI (UFJF)<br>As bibliotecas universitárias brasileiras vêm ampliando seu acervo de livros digitais e eletrônicos. Apesar disso, percebe-se ausência de pesquisas que tratam da avaliação desse acervo. Existem trabalhos que abordam o desenvolvimento de coleções de livros digitais e eletrônicos, porém, as pesquisas estão concentradas nas etapas de seleção e aquisição. Com a rápida expansão do acervo de livros digitais e eletrônicos, há urgência no desenvolvimento de metodologias para sua avaliação. O ponto de partida da pesquisa foi a necessidade de demonstrar para a instituição, através de metodologia de avaliação, a importância de manter e ampliar o acervo de livros digitais e eletrônicos na Biblioteca, mesmo diante do elevado custo das coleções e dos modelos de negócios praticados no Brasil. Em 2012, a Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF) adquiriu a primeira coleção de livros digitais com objetivo de atender aos alunos de graduação dos cursos presenciais e a distância dos dois Campi da instituição. Nos anos seguintes, o acervo foi ampliado, mas, diante da crise econômica que afeta as instituições de ensino, a manutenção e a ampliação dos títulos encontram-se ameaçadas. As bibliotecas precisam comprovar a importância de se manterem coleções de livros digitais e eletrônicos em seus acervos e a avaliação é o melhor caminho. A avaliação da coleção de livros digitais da UFJF, objeto de estudo do trabalho, ocorreu através da aplicação de questionário a docentes das áreas de Ciências Biológicas, Ciências da Saúde, Ciências Exatas e da Terra e Engenharias que analisaram a utilização dos livros digitais em suas práticas acadêmicas. A perspectiva dos usuários docentes demonstra a importância desse acervo disponível na universidade e aponta deficiências que devem ser consideradas para incentivar, aprimorar e difundir o uso dos livros digitais e eletrônicos no âmbito da UFJF.<br>Brazilian university libraries have been expanding their collection of digital and electronic books. Despite this, there is no research that deals with the evaluation of this collection. There are papers that deal with the development of digital and electronic book collections, but the research is focused on the selection and acquisition stages. With the fast expansion of the collection of digital and electronic books, there is an urgent need to develop methodologies to evaluate them. The starting point of the research was the need to demonstrate to the institution, through an evaluation methodology, the importance of maintaining and expanding the collection of digital and electronic books in the Library, even if the high cost of collections and business models practiced in the Library in Brazil. In 2012 the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF) acquired the first collection of digital books with the objective of attending undergraduate courses in classroom and distance course from the two Campuses of the institution. In the following years the collection was expanded, but in the face of the economic crisis that affects educational institutions, the maintenance and expansion of the titles is threatened. Libraries need to prove the importance of keeping collections of digital and electronic books in their collections and the evaluation is the best way. The evaluation of the UFJF collection of digital books, object of study of this work, occurred through the application of a questionnaire to teachers in the areas of biological sciences, health sciences, earth and science, and engineering that analyzed the use of digital books in their academic practices. The perspective of teaching users demonstrated the importance of this collection available at the university and pointed out deficiencies that should be taken into account to encourage, improve and disseminate the use of digital and electronic books within the UFJF.

Ao expandir seu campo de atuação, a biblioteca reafirma sua missão de preservação e circulação da informação através da reformulação e acréscimo da atividade de publicação de conteúdos digitais acessíveis irrestritamente. O trabalho destaca também a parceria Biblioteca Publicadora/Editora Universitária na construção de um modelo de publicação para conteúdos digitais, ressaltando suas dificuldades e ações por subsistência no meio acadêmico; envolvendo a busca por novos autores, leitores. Descreve a contribuição de entidades e associações, como o Library Publishing Coalition, voltadas à divulgação de práticas da publicação em formatos acessíveis via web e difusão de cursos para contribuir na formação de pessoas envolvidas na área. Este trabalho trata também das dificuldades do acesso aberto pelas vias verde, dourada, bronze, modelos híbridos, black ou piratas, além da importância do conhecimento sobre licenças de uso pela comunidade acadêmica. Apresenta estudos de caso provenientes de biblioteca de pesquisa e por editora da iniciativa privada apresentando fluxo de criação do livro digital por aplicativo de edição de conteúdo. Aponta alguns desafios da biblioteca publicadora no mundo editorial, como a relação editor/bibliotecário e as perspectivas para implementação e continuidade destas atividades.<br>The focus of this study is the library publishing model disseminated into international university or research libraries in order to designate the library which acts in services of academic content editions. It discusses the production of digital book by a publishing service which is different from the traditional national publication model usually aimed at the production of digital journals. By expanding its field of activity, the library reaffirms its mission of preserving and circulating information by reformulating and adding the activity of publishing freely accessible digital content. The work also highlights the partnership of the Library Publishing-University Press in the building of a model of publication for digital contents, highlighting their difficulties and actions for subsistence in the academic environment; involving the search for new authors and readers. It further describes the contribution of entities and associations, such as the Library Publishing Coalition, in order to propagate publishing practices in web-accessible formats and distribute courses to contribute to qualification for training people involved in the area. This work also deals with the difficulties of open access through green, gold, bronze, hybrid, black or pirate models, as well as the importance of knowledge about licenses for use by the academic community. It presents cases from a research library and a publishing house report as well as the workflow of production of digital books by content publishing software. In addition, it points out some challenges facing the library publishing world, such as the publisher/librarian relationship and perspectives for the implementation and continuity of these activities.

Full textAbstract:
Letter to So-and-So from Wherever is a collection of poems, perhaps even a “poem-cycle,” initially inspired by the epistolary poems of Richard Hugo. This dissertation is essentially the author’s second full-length poetry manuscript, and consists of more of a single “project” than the author’s first collection, which was published in 2007. These poems here are rooted in concrete imagery, metaphor, hyperbole, irony, and voice. The style is influenced in part by Beat Generation writers Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, and to some extent Charles Bukowski.

Full textAbstract:
The accurate calculation of atomic spectra, including radiative corrections, is one of the rather challenging tasks in theoretical physics. The entire formalism of quantum (gauge) field theory, augmented by the difficulties of the bound-state formalism, is needed for an accurate understanding of the relevant physics at the level of current high-precision spectroscopy. In this thesis, several calculations in this area are described in detail. Investigations on large-order perturbation-theory effects (and predictive limits of perturbation theory) supplement these investigations. In the context of applications, numerical algorithms for the acceleration of the convergence of series are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts ist in Spanien eine Leseförderungsoffensive gestartet worden, deren primäres Ziel es ist, die großen Schwächen der Lesegewohnheiten in der spanischen Bevölkerung zu beheben, und somit allen Bürgern den Zugang zur Informations- und Wissensgesellschaft zu ermöglichen. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit werden die historischen Hintergründe für die heutigen Defizite erläutert und eine Reihe von aktuellen Studien zum Leseverhalten der Spanier analysiert. Eine Untersuchung über das Verlagswesen und dessen Auswirkung auf die Lesehaltung der Gesellschaft, sowie eine genaue Darstellung des im Jahre 2007 erlassenen Gesetzes zur Buch-, Lektüre- und Bibliothekspolitik dienen dazu, einen Rahmen für die unternommenen Schritte zu bilden. In dem zweiten Teil richtet sich der Fokus auf die seit Beginn des Jahrhunderts gestarteten Maßnahmen zur Leseförderung, darunter, als integrativer Mittelpunkt den Leseförderungsplan der zentralen Regierung und weiter die Projekte der Landesregierungen und der Kommunen, sowie Aktionen die zum größten Teil auf private Initiative zurückgehen. Die öffentliche Präsentation des vom Bundeskulturministerium entwickelten, ersten, nationalen Leseförderungsplanes im Jahr 2001 markierte den Anfang für einen Wandelprozess in der Lesekultur des Landes. Im letzten Teil der Dissertation wird, angesichts der basalen Funktion der Bibliotheken als Zentren der Leseanimation, auf die Entwicklung des spanischen Bibliotheksystems in den letzten drei Dekaden und insbesondere der Öffentlichen und der Schulbibliotheken eingegangen.<br>At the beginning of the 21st century the Spanish government launched the most important reading promotion campaign in the history of the country. The objective campaign, that still continues, is to correct the important deficiencies of the reading habits of the Spaniards and to guarantee the access to the information and knowledge society for every citizen. In the first part of the thesis, the author describes the historical reasons for the present reading deficiencies in the population. He also analyzes the most important studies about the reading habits in Spain. An investigation about the situation of the publishing world and its effects on the reading culture, and an account oft the law on Books, Reading and Libraries from 2007 helped to create the context in which the new efforts to improve the reading competence are taking place. In the second part of the work the author analyzes the most representative projects of reading promotion, that have been started from the central, but also from regional and municipal administrations, as well as from private initiators. The most important among these projects is the National Reading Promotion Plan. It was developed from the Spanish Ministry of Culture and has the function of an integration and reference point for all the local reading promotion actions in the country. The public presentation of this Plan in 2001 represented the beginning of a deep transformation process of the reading culture of the nation. As the libraries have always been indispensable centres for reading promotion, the last part of the thesis describes the development of the Spanish librarian system in the three last decades focusing special interest on the school and public libraries.

Full textAbstract:
Avec l’introduction d'ateliers à l’université de Paris en 1470 commence l'histoire de l'imprimerie dans l'espace francophone. Un des fondateurs fut l'érudit allemand Johannes Heynlin von Stein. Il marque le début d'un développement durant lequel les imprimeurs allemands furent d'une importance décisive : Jusqu'en 1500, sur 40 villes francophones dans lesquelles nous pouvons attester la présence d’au moins une imprimerie, onze ont été introduites par des Allemands. Ils les ont installées surtout dans le sud-est du royaume de France ainsi que dans le Duché de Bourgogne, le Comté de Bourgogne et dans les régions de la Suisse francophone actuelle. Ce bouleversement important de l'histoire des médias était le sujet de la thèse. À la base d'une méthode sur l'histoire de la matérialité, l'étude montre que les imprimeries devaient être à la croisée de différents développements. L'étude examine les biographies des imprimeurs, présente leurs programmes d’imprimerie, décrit le milieu universitaire, urbain et monastique et épluche les éditions qu’ils ont imprimé. Elle a permis de comprendre la complexité transitionnelle entre l’époque des manuscrits et celle des livres imprimés, des sociétés non-typographiques aux sociétés typographiques. Finalement, l’analyse met en évidence que les premiers imprimeurs allemands furent un groupe communicatif en mouvement ayant un réseau au-delà des frontières qui peut être considéré comme exemplaire pour l’histoire de l'imprimerie en France et et même en Europe. En analysant en détail un groupe important des imprimeurs cette approche présente des nouveaux résultats quant à l'histoire précoce de l'imprimerie française et incite à un dialogue scientifique international<br>With the establishment of a press at University of Paris in 1470, the history of printing presses in the French speaking world began. One of the founders was the German scholar Johannes Heynlin von Stein. He marks the start of a historically significant development in which printers from the Holy Roman Empire are of central importance. In the 15th century, it were in fact German printers who took the initiative to establish printing presses in eleven out of forty French cities. Geographically, those presses were predominantly located in the southeast of the French Kingdom and in the Duchy of Burgundy, in the Palatinate County of Burgundy, as well as in the region of what is today the French-speaking part of Switzerland. This media-historically important transition is the focus of this dissertation. On the basis of a profound methodology rooted in the history of materiality, the thesis shows that printing presses must be understood as an intersection of different developments. A comprehensive examination of the biographies of the respective printers and their printing portfolios are presented. Additionally, this thesis records the university, urban and monastic environment of the presses and critically evaluates the printed editions. By doing so, it is possible to work out in detail – while always referring to the sources – the complexity of the transition from a period of manuscripts to a period of printed books. Hence, a transition from non-typographic to typographic societies. Finally, this thesis proves that the German printers were a communicative and trans-border networked group which exemplarily stands for the French and partly for the European history of the printing press in the 15th century. By precisely and extensively analysing one of the most important groups of printers in the 15th century, this thesis allows for new insights to the history of early French printing presses and therefore seeks to fill a gap in academic literature. Furthermore, it encourages an international and scientific dialogue<br>Mit der Einrichtung einer Buchdruckerei in der Universität Paris im Jahre 1470 beginnt die Geschichte des Buchdrucks im französischsprachigen Raum. Einer der Gründer war der deutsche Gelehrte Johannes Heynlin von Stein. Er steht am Anfang einer Entwicklung, in der den Druckern aus dem Heiligen Römischen Reich entscheidende Bedeutung zukam - in elf von rund 40 französischen Städten, in denen in der Inkunabelzeit eine Druckerpresse eingerichtet wurde, ging die Initiative von deutschen Druckern aus. Sie waren vor allem im Südosten des Königreichs Frankreich sowie im Herzogtum Burgund, in der Freigrafschaft Burgund und in Gebieten der heutigen französischsprachigen Schweiz präsent. Dieser mediengeschichtlich bedeutsamen Umbruchphase widmet sich die vorliegende Untersuchung. Auf der Basis einer materialitätsgeschichtlich fundierten Methode kann gezeigt werden, dass die Druckereien als Kreuzungspunkte unterschiedlicher Entwicklungslinien verstanden werden müssen. Die Studie untersucht die Biographien der Drucker, stellt ihr Druckprogramm vor, erfasst das universitäre, städtische oder monastische Umfeld der Pressen und wertet die von ihnen produzierten Ausgaben aus. Auf diese Weise kann detailliert, und stets mit Bezug auf die Quellen, die Komplexität des Übergangs vom Handschriften- zum Druckzeitalter, von non-typographischen zu typographischen Gesellschaften herausgearbeitet werden. Darüber hinaus wird nachgewiesen, dass es sich bei den deutschen Erstdruckern um eine kommunikative und über Ländergrenzen hinweg breit vernetzte Gruppe handelt, die als exemplarisch für das französische sowie in Teilen auch für das europäische Druckwesen des 15. Jahrhunderts gelten kann. Dieser Ansatz einer präzisen und umfassenden Auseinandersetzung mit einer bedeutenden Gruppe von Buchdruckern präsentiert neue Erkenntnisse zur Geschichte des frühen französischen Buchdrucks und regt zur Intensivierung des internationalen Forschungsdialogs an

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I present new insights into aspects of Peter Guthrie Tait's life and work, derived principally from largely-unexplored primary source material: Tait's scrapbook, the Tait–Maxwell school-book and Tait's pocket notebook. By way of associated historical insights, I also come to discuss the innovative and far-reaching mathematics of the elusive Frenchman, C.-V. Mourey. P. G. Tait (1831–1901) F.R.S.E., Professor of Mathematics at the Queen's College, Belfast (1854–1860) and of Natural Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh (1860–1901), was one of the leading physicists and mathematicians in Europe in the nineteenth century. His expertise encompassed the breadth of physical science and mathematics. However, since the nineteenth century he has been unfortunately overlooked—overshadowed, perhaps, by the brilliance of his personal friends, James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879), Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805–1865) and William Thomson (1824–1907), later Lord Kelvin. Here I present the results of extensive research into the Tait family history. I explore the spiritual aspect of Tait's life in connection with The Unseen Universe (1875) which Tait co-authored with Balfour Stewart (1828–1887). I also reveal Tait's surprising involvement in statistics and give an account of his introduction to complex numbers, as a schoolboy at the Edinburgh Academy. A highlight of the thesis is a re-evaluation of C.-V. Mourey's 1828 work, La Vraie Théorie des quantités négatives et des quantités prétendues imaginaires, which I consider from the perspective of algebraic reform. The thesis also contains: (i) a transcription of an unpublished paper by Hamilton on the fundamental theorem of algebra which was inspired by Mourey and (ii) new biographical information on Mourey.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an exploration of ancestral narratives in the fiction of Thomas Keneally and Christopher Koch. Initially, ancestry in literature creates an historical relationship which articulates the link between the past and the present. In this sense ancestry functions as a type of cultural memory where various issues of inheritance can be negotiated. However, the real value of ancestral narratives lies in their power to aid in the construction of both personal and communal identities. They have the potential to transform these identities, to transgress natural boundaries and to reshape conventional identities in the light of historical experience.
For Keneally, ancestral narratives depict national forbears who narrate the nation into being. His earlier fictions present ancestors of the nation within a mythic and symbolic framework to outline Australian national identity. This identity is static, oppositional, and characterized by the delineation of boundaries which set nations apart from one another. However, Keneallys more recent work transforms this conventional construction of national identity. It depicts an Irish-Australian diasporic identity which is hyphenated and transgressive: it transcends the conventional notion of nations as separate entities pitted against one another. In this way Keneallys ancestral narratives enact the potential for transforming identity through ancestral narrative.
On the other hand, Kochs work is primarily concerned with the intergenerational trauma causes by losing or forgetting ones ancestral narrative. His novels are concerned with male gender identity and the fragmentation which characterizes a self-destructive idea of maleness. While Keneallys characters recover their lost ancestries in an effort to reshape their idea of what it is to be Australian, Kochs main protagonist lives in ignorance of his ancestors life. He is thus unable to take the opportunity to transform his masculinity due to the pervasive cultural amnesia surrounding his family history and its role in Tasmanias past.
While Keneally and Koch depict different outcomes in their fictional ancestral narratives they are both deeply concerned with the potential to transform national and gender identities through ancestry.

La tesi si occupa di verificare l’influenza che i classici greci e latini hanno esercitato su i padri fondatori americani e più in particolare su Thomas Jefferson. La prima sezione tratteggia il contesto universitario e lo studio delle lingue classiche tra seicento e settecento, comprendendo non solo le università inglesi (Oxford e Cambridge) e scozzesi, ma anche i nuovi college nati nelle colonie americane. Tale analisi dei modelli e delle pratiche educative ha permesso, in effetti, di comprendere meglio l’influenza dei classici sui rivoluzionari americani. Nello specifico viene scandagliata a fondo l’educazione ricevuta da Jefferson. Tra i numerosi spunti di studio aperti da codesto argomento, il lavoro si concentra sulle modalità con cui i classici gli furono insegnati, sul suo Commonplace Book (una raccolta di brani tratti in parte da autori antichi letti in giovinezza) e su documentazione epistolare. Quest’ultima è oggetto particolare di studio, allo scopo di scoprire quali opere antiche Jefferson, in età adulta e durante la vecchiaia, lesse e apprezzò. Essendo un collezionista di libri, comprò moltissimi testi classici come dimostrano alcuni suoi manoscritti.
Nonostante manchino dati precisi a riguardo, risulta inoltre che Jefferson, benché facesse largo uso di traduzioni, preferiva leggere in originale e che probabilmente abbia letto la maggior parte di questi libri durante il ritiro dalla vita politica.
La seconda parte della tesi si concentra, invece, a indagare quanto la sua educazione classica abbia contributo alla formazione della sua personalità e delle sue idee, nonché alla forma stessa del suo pensiero in merito ad alcune tematiche. Lo studio è di conseguenza dedicato all’esperienza umana di Jefferson, in particolare alla sua riflessione sulla morte e sull’eternità, temi fortemente legati alla sua ricezione di idee epicuree e stoiche. Epicureismo e Stoicismo rappresentano, in definitiva, i due sistemi filosofici antichi che hanno maggiormente influenzato la sua personalità e il suo pensiero.<br>The aim of the present work is to evaluate the impact of the ancient classics on the American Founding Fathers, with a particular focus on Thomas Jefferson.
The first section gives a wide portrait of the academic context in which the Founders were educated, comprising not only of Oxford, Cambridge, and the Scottish universities, but also the colonial colleges. The evaluation of the educational practices in use at the time makes it possible to understand better the classical impact on revolutionary Americans. In particular, this analysis studies in depth Jefferson's education. Of the many possible perspectives and approaches to this topic, the present work focuses on the way ancient classics were taught to him, his Commonplace Book, which reports part of the ancient classics he read during his youth, and his correspondence. The latter has been studied especially to understand which other ancient writers he read, valued, and esteemed in his adulthood and old age.
As book collector, Jefferson bought an incredible number of ancient classics, as attested by a few manuscripts of his book lists. Despite the dearth of sure evidence, it is very likely that he read the ancient works largely during his retirement. He loved reading them in the original, though he made great use of translations.
The second part of this work is dedicated to investigating how Jefferson's classical education contributed to the building of his personality and ideas, as well as how he elaborated specific classical themes in his own life. The study is thus focused on Jefferson's personal human experience, specifically on his reflection on human mortality and the afterlife. These themes, indeed, are strictly linked to his reception of Epicurean and Stoic tenets, the two ancient philosophical systems which had the greatest and most profound impact on Jefferson's personality and thought.
