Full textAbstract:
This essay focuses on the often overlooked, if not derided, comic tales of Mary Robinson, arguing their centrality to the poetic and political project of Lyrical Tales (1800). It does so in two ways: first, by repositioning Robinson’s use of the pseudonym Tabitha Bramble, not as an off-key performance of Tobias Smollett’s original character, but as an empowered voice authoring her own tale, and, second, by correcting the commonplace critical assumption that the revised poems in Lyrical Tales remain Tabitha Bramble poems. Attending to Robinson’s careful revision process enlarges a critical understanding of Robinson’s relationship to female voice, from her reimagined Tabitha Bramble in newspaper verse to her reclamation of gossip in Lyrical Tales.

Full textAbstract:
In theApophthegmata Laconica, a collection of witty exchanges that highlight the shrewdness of Laconian brevity, we read the following story. An Argive once taunted a Spartan by pointing out the multitude of Spartan tombs in Argive territory. The Spartan retorted that, by contrast, not a single Argive tomb could be found in Sparta. The author of the Plutarchan tale comments that the Spartan insinuated that, while his people had repeatedly invaded Argos, the Argives had never set foot on Sparta (Mor.233c; cf.Vit. Ages.31.6). Besides attesting to the sharp wit of Laconian concision, the story is a good example of how easily a soldier's tomb can serve different national agendas. While the presence of Spartan dead in Argos is a source of pride for the Argives, from another point of view it can be read as a sign of Spartan military prowess. The Greek word σῆμα (‘tomb’) speaks for the crucial role of semiotics in interpreting the semantics of military monuments. The tomb is a sign that needs to be decoded; only more often than not there is more than one way of deciphering it.

Full textAbstract:
Summary Seweryn Goszczyński’s The Castle of Kaniów (1828) has remained undeservedly in the shadow of a few other romantic verse-tales of the 1820s and 1830s, the heyday of that genre in Polish literary history. This type of epic poetry has a distinct preference for a non-linear, fragmented plot and a multi-level structure of presented world. However, the key note in the design of Goszczyński’s historical tales sensationalism, which determines the book’s artistic worth and its lasting attractiveness. Goszczyński knows how to employ a whole range of Gothic tricks and is also remarkably adept at using mystery to keep up dramatic tension in his tale of the Cossack uprising of 1768.

The article discusses the problems of genre problems presented in the light of modern comparative studies. On the example of romanticism and its popular genres, such as verse tale, digressive poem, romantic drama and a variety of odd types of poetic works, it has been demonstrated that comparative analysis can be very useful in describing the formal aspect of literary works and the interaction between genres.

Full textAbstract:
The Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 promoted regular and effective religious instruction for the parish laity. This was facilitated by the development of preaching and instructional texts – works known as pastoralia – which proliferated throughout Europe. This dissertation explores the phenomenon of vernacular pastoralia written in rhymed verse, works intended for oral performance to a lay audience. My focus is on the work of four writers of sacramental instruction in Anglo-Norman and Middle English. The earliest text considered is the Anglo-Norman Corset, written circa 1240-50 by Robert the Chaplain. The other three authors were more or less contemporary, all writing in the late-thirteenth or early-fourteenth centuries. I examine three penitential poems by the Franciscan friar, Nicholas Bozon: Pus ke homme deit morir, Tretys de la Passion and Le char d’Orgueil, and then Handlyng Synne by the Gilbertine, Robert Mannyng. I finally consider the religious poems of William of Shoreham, a vicar in rural Kent, concentrating on De septem sacramentis and On the Trinity, Creation, the Existence of Evil, Devils, Adam and Eve. While all these writers confronted the challenges of providing religious instruction for the laity, their efforts also reflected a concern with social issues and an awareness of the literary nature of their verse enterprises. The texts frequently employed poetic or fictive devices found in popular literary genres and, whilst these illuminated and entertained listeners, they sometimes rendered the teaching obscure. The meeting of sacramental exposition, social discourse and literary invention resulted in complex textual interplay and tension, as well as in memorable formulations of faith. This dissertation considers the content of verse pastoralia in their historical context and aims to assess how the texts may have been received and understood by parishioners in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century England.

Tomas, Stéphanie. "Les contes en vers au XVIIIème siècle." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040155.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se propose d’étudier les contes en vers au XVIIIème siècle, production foisonnante et féconde mais qui n’a jamais fait l’objet d’une analyse d’ensemble. Véritable phénomène de mode, comme le conte de fées qui le précède, le conte en vers est pratiqué par les auteurs reconnus, à l’image de Voltaire, comme par les plumes de second ordre, tel Grécourt, l’auteur le plus prolifique du temps. Genre marginal non codifié par les théoriciens et décrié par les tenants de l’orthodoxie littéraire, le récit versifié, qui relève de la poésie fugitive, se présente comme une émanation directe de l’art de la conversation si prisé à l’époque qu’il impose des thèmes aux écrivains et modèle la poétique des textes. Oscillant entre divertissement mondain et genre littéraire à part entière, témoignant de la crise de la poésie au siècle des Lumières, le conte en vers incarne la recherche d’une nouvelle voie poétique empreinte d’humilité, de légèreté et de simplicité et récusant la gravité et le sublime. Notre travail, qui se limite aux textes imprimés, adopte successivement trois perspectives : sociologique, historique et générique. Poésie de société, création collective et sérielle, le conte manifeste le goût du persiflage et du badinage propre à l’époque. L’approche diachronique vise quant à elle à éclairer les temps forts de la vogue du conte de 1715 à la Révolution mais aussi à dégager une continuité transhistorique en déterminant les sources ainsi que la postérité du genre. Le conte est enfin envisagé dans son rapport aux autres genres qu’il se plaît à imiter et à détourner. Libertin par sa philosophie, le conte l’est surtout par son écriture allusive et subversiveThis thesis means to study the 18th century verse tale, a rich and diverse work which has never been the subject of an overall analysis. A real fashion phenomenon, just like the fairy tale that preceded it, the verse tale was practiced by well-known authors (Voltaire) as well as second rate writers such as Grécourt, the most prolific. The narrative put into verse was a minor genre with no code which was disparaged by the supporters of literary orthodoxy. It falls within the province of transient poetry and comes straight from the art of conversation, which was so highly prized at the time that it imposed themes on writers and shaped the poetics of the texts. Between refined entertainment and fully-fledged literary genre, the verse tale, which underlines the crisis poetry was going through at the Age of the Enlightenment, embodies the search for a new poetic way marked by humility, lightness and simplicity and objecting to solemnity and the sublime. Our work, which is limited to printed texts, adopts three different angles: successively, the sociological, historical and generic angles. Tales, which are society poems and collective and serial works, are an indication of the taste for mockery and banter characteristic of this time. As for the diachronic approach, it aims at throwing light on the peaks of the vogue for tales from 1715 to the Revolution but also at bringing out a transhistoric continuity by establishing the origins as well as the posterity of the genre. Tales are also viewed in connection with the other genres it delights in imitating and twisting. They are libertine because of their philosophy but above all because of their allusive and subversive writing

Full textAbstract:
I am a poet. As an undergraduate, I explored the other genres of writing—I wrote short stories, attempted a novel-length piece, and crafted essays. While I found plays interesting, I could not write one satisfactorily. But poetry fit like an extension of myself. I could fuse my voice and my ideas in stanzas and images, and I found myself weighing words and sounds as I constructed the lines. It was only natural that I pursue mastery in poetry when I returned for my Masters of Fine Arts.
The material presented in this document is the culmination of two years of specialized study in how to craft poetry. In those two years, I have maintained the idea that this collection be relatable, feminist, and emotionally powerful. While the poetry has certainly evolved over that two-year span, the ideas kept each piece connected to my envisioned whole.
The poems revolve around different obsessions I harbored while writing. I meditate on various relationships, personal experiences, and striking images and feelings I felt deserved attention. Of course, this collection is intensely personal, but I believe that it is through the personal that we can reach the general, which is what makes these poems accessible.
I also used this manuscript as a device for exploration and play. Some poems follow strict formal guidelines, and others meander to their destination. Some are short and concise, others long and nebulous. But each is refined and given exceptional thought.
I believe that readers will clearly see how much study was necessary to write these poems; it is through reading the works of the great poets before me that I was able to come to them. My influences show, not only in allusions, but in the choices I’ve made and the structure of the poems themselves.
I submit this manuscript as the culmination of my work, in partial fulfilment of a
Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing.

Fraichard, Lucie. "Nanotalcs fonctionnalisés vers de nouveaux composites conducteurs." Toulouse 3, 2012. http://thesesups.ups-tlse.fr/2614/.
Full textAbstract:
L'élaboration de matériaux composites multifonctionnels est un sujet actuellement en plein essor en science des matériaux. Le challenge actuel consiste à combiner plusieurs propriétés, chimiques ou physiques, au sein du même matériau. Notre but s'inscrit dans cette thématique et vise à obtenir des charges minérales électriquement conductrices. Parce qu'il combine d'excellentes propriétés de renfort, le talc naturel est actuellement utilisé comme charge dans de nombreuses applications. Cependant, sa nature hydrophobe et inerte est une limitation pour certaines utilisations. Une alternative est d'obtenir par synthèse hydrothermale, des talcs synthétiques qui possèdent une grande pureté, une taille submicronique et qui contiennent une plus grande quantité de sites hydrophiles réactifs. Les talcs ont tout d'abord été modifiés chimiquement par deux procédés : la fonctionnalisation par des nanotubes de carbone et le greffage d'un polymère conducteur intrinsèque, le polypyrrole. Différentes analyses ont montré que la modification du talc naturel par des nanotubes de carbone donnait des charges minérales dont la conductivité électrique est de l'ordre de quelques S. M-1. Tandis que la seconde fonctionnalisation qui consiste à obtenir des hybrides talc-polypyrrole, permet d'obtenir des charges conductrices de l'ordre d'une centaine de S. M-1. L'étape suivante concerne l'élaboration des composites PEBD / talcs modifiés (synthétisées précédemment). L'objectif est d'obtenir des composites aux propriétés mécaniques améliorées et électriquement conducteurs. Les résultats indiquent un seuil de percolation des charges talc-polypyrrole de 20 %m et le module élastique des composites est multiplié par 2 et 4 pour respectivement les talcs naturels et synthétiques modifiés. Les charges ainsi obtenues sont multifonctionnelles car elles apportent des propriétés électriques tout en améliorant les propriétés mécaniques d'une matrice polymère thermoplastiqueElaboration of multifunctional composites is a subject currently booming in materials science. The aim is to combine the respective physical or chemical properties of two or more materials. Our purpose is to get multifunctional fillers with mechanical (reinforcement, lubricant, thermal insulation) and conductive properties. Because it combines these mechanical and lubricant properties, natural talc is currently used as filler, coating or dusting agent in paints, lubricants, plastics, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and ceramics. However, its hydrophobic and inert nature is a limitation for certain uses which involved chemical reactions. That is why it is important to improve its surface properties. An alternative is to obtain by hydrothermal synthesis, a range of talc-like phyllosilicates with well-defined chemical composition, high purity, submicronic size and which contain a larger amount of hydrophilic sites. Natural talcs and talc-like phyllosilicates are modified with a conductive polymer, the polypyrrole and with carbon nanotubes to obtain conductive properties. The introduction of these conductive fillers in a low-density polyethylene matrix by extrusion has allowed us to demonstrate that the mechanical properties of the matrix are maintained and its conductive properties are quite improved. These composites may be used as sensors or antistatic parts

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le processus général d'innovation dans le domaine des matériaux composites. Financée par le projet ANR NANOTALC, elle a permis de réaliser des avancées considérables dans la procédure de production de nouvelles nanocharges minérales de type talc. Le procédé de synthèse du talc a été revisité dans le but de le rendre compatible avec des exigences industrielles en termes de rendement et d'efficacité. Ce procédé supplante les précédents en ce qu'il permet l'obtention d'un produit 100% talc avec un gain de temps et un gain de cristallinité tout en respectant quelques principes de la chimie verte. La caractérisation cristallochimique du nouveau talc synthétique a permis l'obtention de nouvelles signatures spectrales liées aux dimensions submicroniques, qui permettent par ailleurs de comprendre désormais certains comportements énigmatiques de poudres naturelles. Le talc synthétique issu de ce nouveau procédé se distingue de son homologue naturel par sa taille submicronique, sa pureté chimique et minérale mais aussi par son caractère hydrophile, caractère amplifié par l'abondance de bordures latérales porteuses de fonction silanols. Cette thèse retrace aussi les différentes techniques testées pour optimiser ce procédé et propose une nouvelle solution technique pour transposer la synthèse à une échelle semi-industrielleThis thesis takes part of the general process of innovation in the domain of composite materials. The funding by the ANR NANOTALC project allowed significant progress in the process of production of new talc-like mineral nanofillers. The talc synthesis process has been revised in order to achieve compatibility with industrial requirements in terms of performance and efficiency. This new process replaces the previous ones since it saves time, leads to a 100% talc product having a high crystallinity, in the respect of few principles of the green chemistry. The crystal-chemistry characterization of the new synthetic talc shows new spectral signatures related to nanoscale dimensions, which allow also understanding of some until now unexplained behavior of natural powders. The synthetic talc derived from this new process differs from its natural counterpart in its submicron size, its chemical and mineral purity and also in its hydrophilic character, which is enhanced by the abundance of particle edges bearing silanol functions. This thesis also describes the various techniques tested to optimize this process and provides a new technical solution for the implementation of the synthesis on a semi-industrial scale

Full textAbstract:
Social work is a profession where documentation about people’s behavior and life circumstances is common. In the beginning of the essay we ask ourselves, if these descriptions about people can be problematic? To explore this, we studied social documentation, from the past. We used a historical source because history can help usunderstand the social work that is being conducted today. The aim of our study was to findout how early welfare work defined and described deviant behavior in child care issues, and how the child care agency handled these issues. Out method was a document analysis off the children’s care protocols in Kalmar, from 1929 to 1937. We present our results along with two illustrative case descriptions. Our theoretical approaches are Howard S Becker and Erwing Goffman´s theories of deviation. Their conclusion is that deviation is created by society, not by individuals or their actions. Since cases of children’s neglect and cases with deviant children were common and well documented we focused our empirical presentation on what was included in these terms. Children’s neglect cases focused on parent’s inability to provide the child with proper food, clothes, housing and similar factors. We also found that they made a distinction between mothers and fathers responsibility in these cases. Regarding the deviant children they also made a distinction between the sexes, identifying different behaviors deviant for girls andboys. Though some factors, such as being a illegitimate child and being unreliable is a definition used on both sexes. Since, according to our theories, deviation is created by our society our conclusion is that both children’s neglect and problem children can be seen as a result of societies expectations, and we present examples of how that can be understood in our analyze. In our final discussion we discuss how the definition of deviant behavior is relevant today. We discuss our findings in relation to BBIC, a Swedish child protection investigation guide. Our conclusion is that we still create deviations through documentation.

Full textAbstract:
AFDX est le standard Ethernet commuté utilisé pour la transmission des flux avioniques. Pour des raisons de certification, le réseau AFDX déployé à présent dans les avions civils est très peu chargé. Cette thèse vise à étudier la possibilité envisagée par les avionneurs d’utiliser la bande passante AFDX restante pour transporter des flux non-avioniques additionnels (vidéo, audio, service). Ces flux ne doivent pas affecter les délais de transmission des flux avioniques. Pour multiplexer des flux avioniques et non-avioniques des politiques d’ordonnancement sont nécessaires au niveau des systèmes d’extrémité (end systems) et des commutateurs. Dans cette thèse, nous considérons l’exemple de la transmission sur AFDX de flux vidéo provenant des caméras de surveillance de l’avion. Le multiplexage des flux avioniques et vidéo est réalisé par l’introduction d’une table d’ordonnancement au niveau des end systems émetteurs et d’une politique de type SPQ dans les ports de sortie du commutateur. Cette solution préserve les contraintes temps-réel des flux avioniques, mais peut introduire des variations sur les délais de bout-en-bout des flux vidéo. Une allocation appropriée des flux avioniques dans la table d’ordonnancement peut réduire le retard d’émission des flux vidéo et ainsi, limiter les variations de délai. Nous proposons deux stratégies d’allocation des flux avioniques dans la table d’ordonnancement : une heuristique simple et une allocation optimale. L’allocation optimale est dérivée en résolvant un problème d’optimisation par contraintes qui minimise le retard d’émission des flux vidéo. Dans le cas des end systems moins chargés, l’allocation par heuristique est proche de l’optimaleAFDX is the standard switched Ethernet solution for transmitting avionic flows. Today’s AFDX deployments in commercial aircrafts are lightly loaded to ensure the determinism of control and command operations. This thesis aims at investigating a practical alternative envisioned by manufacturers that takes advantage of the remaining AFDX bandwidth to transfer additional nonavionic flows (video, audio, service). These flows must not compromise the in-time arrival of avionic ones. Thus, appropriate scheduling policies formultiplexing avionic flows with non-avionic flows are required at the emitting end systems and switch egress ports. We mainly focus on the transmission of additional flows carrying video streams from cameras located on the airplane to cockpit display. Multiplexing avionic flows with video flows is tackled by introducing table scheduling at the emitting end systems and a 2-priority levels SPQ service policy at switch egress ports. This solution preserves the real-time constraints of avionic flows but may introduce variations of the end-to-end delay of video ones. An appropriate allocation of slots to avionic flows in table scheduling can reduce the emission lag of video flows and thus, limit their delay variations. We propose two strategies to allocate avionic flows in the table scheduling: a simple one based on heuristics and an optimal one. Optimal schedules are derived by solving a constraint programming model minimizing the emission lag of video flows. For light traffic end systems, heuristic allocation is close to optimal

Full textAbstract:
Le but de cette thèse est de construire un fragment de grammaire du français rendant compte de la syntaxe de l'infinitif dans le cadre des grammaires d'arbres polychromes (GAP).La thèse se compose de deux parties. La première concerne l'étude des problèmes que pose l'infinitif. L'infinitif, comme un verbe, a des compléments et le constituant qu'il forme avec ses compléments peut être lui aussi un complément d'un verbe, d'un nom, d'un adjectif. Ce que les grammaires traditionnelles traduisent en parlant d'une double nature : il possède à la fois des propriétés nominales et verbales. D'où une difficulté spécifique pour faire entrer la syntaxe de l'infinitif dans un modèle formel qui puisse se prêter au traitement automatique. Nous appelons constituant infinitif l'unité composée d'un verbe infinitif et de ses compléments. Il est expliqué pourquoi ce terme est préféré à celui de « proposition subordonnée infinitive ».
La seconde partie aborde l'analyse syntaxique des constituants infinitifs en GAP et s'organise autour des contextes dans lesquels apparaît l'infinitif (un verbe, un nom, un adjectif). Le choix d'une représentation en GAP permet de mettre à l'épreuve ce formalisme et de montrer l'intérêt qu'il y a de séparer les fonctions syntaxiques des catégories. Ainsi peut-on rendre compte des cas où un constituant d'une catégorie non nominale occupe une position en général occupée par un nom.
Ce travail aura permis, en s'intéressant à la question de la syntaxe de l'infinitif, en partant d'une réinterrogation de certaines études en provenance des grammaires traditionnelles, de parvenir à l'enrichissement d'un formalisme élaboré dans la perspective du TAL.

Full textAbstract:
Ce document de synthèse décrit les travaux de recherche que nous avons effectués ces douze dernières années, depuis la soutenance de notre thèse le 13 mai 1997. En premier lieu, nous évoquerons la pluridisciplinarité de nos recherches ; pluridisciplinarité induite par une véritable mobilité thématique. Cette approche pluridisciplinaire constitue un atout pour notre projet de recherche, puisqu'elle est bien souvent nécessaire pour assurer une direction de recherches. Les travaux de recherches exposés dans ce mémoire se déclinent sur quatre thèmes distincts, reliés par une problématique commune d'assistance à l'utilisateur : - des travaux portant un point de vue «traitement du langage » : la compréhension de courts textes techniques pour l'assistance aux activités de spécification et de conception de logiciels, conduisant à une traduction formelle ou diagrammatique de type UML ; - des travaux portant un point de vue «traitement de connaissances» : l'acquisition, la modélisation et le traitement des connaissances invoquées dans les systèmes pédagogiques, d'aide à la décision, ou de médiation pour la coopération ; - des travaux portant un point de vue « communication/coopération » : les interactions entre agents logiciels distribués dans des systèmes de simulation, d'aide à la décision ou de conception collaborative ; - des travaux portant un point de vue «coopération et instrumentation d'activités coopératives » : l'analyse, la modélisation et l'instrumentation d'activités coopératives, ainsi que la conception participative de micro-outils logiciels (µ-outils) et leur intégration sur une plate-forme logicielle distribuée. La convergence de ces travaux s'opère avec les recherches menées depuis cinq ans sur la conception de systèmes de médiation pour faciliter la coopération entre utilisateurs de systèmes d'information coopératifs ou de collecticiels. Au-delà de la problématique de conception de systèmes coopératifs, nous nous sommes en effet posé deux sortes de questions : (1) « comment mieux médier la coopération et comment faciliter les communications dans cette coopération médiée ? », c'est le cœur du travail de thèse de Victoria Ospina (soutenue en décembre 2007) ; (2) « comment mieux partager l'information dans les systèmes coopératifs et comment évaluer la pertinence de l'information avant de la partager ? », c'est le cadre de la thèse que nous avons proposée à Jing Peng (octobre 2007).

Emergency team response in most countries is prompt. However, in some parts of the world, the response time of the emergency team is expected to be comparatively longer, due to various policy issues. The chapter considers these special circumstances, to suggest some additional measures toward the management of the emergency, while waiting for the arrival of the emergency team. Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons are expected to be well versed with this life-saving simple clinical skill and the protocols discussed here take this into consideration.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 2, “The Longue Durée of Marriage,” offers a formal explanation to the centrality of conjugal experience in the Victorian verse-novel, despite marriage’s representational challenge (as outlined by Kierkegaard in Either/Or). In Coventry Patmore’s The Angel in the House, the extended middle responsible for the poem’s length develops out of this difficulty. By using durational narrative to expand lyric forms of love poetry, Patmore had hoped to portray marriage’s duration without sacrificing the intensity of romantic ardor. But, as comparisons to Byron’s Don Juan suggest, the resultant compound proves unstable. This chapter uncovers the unsettling results of such extension by showing how the need for length introduces ideas of seriality, including the notion of a sequel to love in the afterlife through (potentially adulterous) marriage in heaven. A coda considers William Morris’s The Lovers of Gudrun, the longest and most novelistic tale from his immense Earthly Paradise.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines Parisina (written in England but on an Italian topic) and Mazeppa (written in Italy but on a non-Italian topic) as exemplary instances of Byron’s creation of an Anglo-Italian poetics based on displacement in his narrative verse. It considers them separately and together as a useful way of understanding the ‘intricate fabrication of Byron’s Anglo-Italian identity’. It also considers them ‘in dialogue’ and in relation to Italy in order to throw new light on two works that are generally sidelined in the Byron canon. In Parisina, Byron offers an Italian cautionary tale to Regency England,one in which he can ‘poetically release’ things in his own life that he had to publicly suppress in England. In Mazeppa, instead, Byron explores key aspects of his life in Italy in an imagined location that is displaced from Italy rather than to it. As this essay shows, both narrative poems demonstrate, in contradiction to much critical thinking about Byron, the importance of ‘not being on the spot’ to both the poet’s narrative method and his poetic self-fashioning.

Aim/Purpose: [This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2018 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 15] Student dropout in higher education institutions is a universal problem. This study identifies the characteristics of dropout. In addition, it develops a mathematical model to predict students who may dropout. Background: This study compared dropout rates of one and a half year of enrollment among Traditional Undergraduate Students. The sample includes 555 freshmen in a non-profit private university. Methodology: The study uses both descriptive statistics such as cross tabulation and a binary regression model to predict student dropout. Contribution: There are two major contributions for the paper, one it raises questions regarding causes of dropout thus, hopefully, it can result in better allocation of resources at higher education institutions. It also develops a predictive model that may be used in order to predict the probability of a student dropping out and take preventive actions. Findings: Two major findings are that some of the resources designed to assist student are misallocated, and that the proposed model predicted with 66.6% accuracy students who will dropout. Recommendations for Practitioners: The study recommends that institutions must create initiatives to assist freshmen students and have annual assessment to measure the success of the initiatives. Recommendation for Researchers: Secondly that analytical models be used to predicts dropout with fair accuracy. Impact on Society: The study should result in better allocation of resources in higher education institutions Future Research: The research will continue developing and testing the model using a wider sample and other institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Knowledge is a category that includes many past decisions. They could be good for the past but it is a question if they can work in the future. We can talk about programmed and non-programmed decisions. When a predetermined situation triggers a predetermined response we can talk about a programmed decision. If one wants to make a non-programmed decision he/she must search for information, identify the problem, evaluate possible alternatives, and act. If the process is more complicated, programmed decision will be more effective. Our research has revealed that future managers in Slovenia possess knowledge that involves more programmed that non-programmed decisions. This may indicate that they will have a lot of difficulties with decision making in complicated organisational systems. However, they cannot learn how to take decisions (even if they want to) because they do not know what they actually need. If they are successful at non-programmed decisions they want more knowledge from the same area; in fact they would need more knowledge about programmed decisions - and vice versa.

"From Ignorance Map to Informing PKM4E Framework: Personal Knowledge Management for Empowerment." In InSITE 2018: Informing Science + IT Education Conferences: La Verne California. Informing Science Institute, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/3984.
Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: [This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2018 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 15] The proposed Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) for Empowerment (PKM4E) Framework expands on the notions of the Ignorance Map and Matrix for further supporting the educational concept of a PKM system-in-progress. Background: The accelerating information abundance is depleting the very attention our cognitive capabilities are able to master, one key cause of individual and collective opportunity divides. Support is urgently needed to benefit Knowledge Workers independent of space (developed/developing countries), time (study or career phase), discipline (natural or social science), or role (student, professional, leader). Methodology: The Design Science Research (DSR) project introducing the novel PKM System (PKMS) aims to support a scenario of a ‘Decentralizing KM Revolution’ giving more power and autonomy to individuals and self-organized groups. Contribution: The portrayal of potential better solutions cannot be accommodated by one-dimensional linear text alone but necessitates the utilization of visuals, charts, and blueprints for the concept as well as the use of colors, icons, and catchy acronyms to successfully inform a diverse portfolio of audiences and potential beneficiaries. Findings: see Recommendation for Researchers Recommendations for Practitioners: The PKM4E learning cycles and workflows apply ‘cumulative synthesis’, a concept which convincingly couples the activities of researchers and entrepreneurs, and assists users to advance their capability endowments via applied learning. Recommendation for Researchers: In substituting document-centric with meme-based knowledge bases, the PKMS approach merges distinctive voluntarily shared knowledge objects/assets of diverse disciplines into a single unified digital knowledge repository and provides the means for advancing current metrics and reputation systems. Impact on Society: The PKMS features provide the means to tackle the widening opportunity divides by affording knowledge workers with continuous life-long support from trainee, student, novice, or mentee towards professional, expert, mentor, or leader. Future Research: After completing the test phase of the PKMS prototype, its transformation into a viable PKM system and cloud-based server based on a rapid development platform and a noSQL-database is estimated to take 12 months.

"The Persistence of Anxiety Experienced by New Generation in Online Learning." In InSITE 2018: Informing Science + IT Education Conferences: La Verne California. Informing Science Institute, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/4040.
Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: To investigate anxiety in online courses and its relationship with overall online courses satisfaction as it may vary with online courses experience. Background: Delivering online courses in higher education institutions continue to increase. Anxieties seem to be persistent. Although there are many technology and internet related anxieties studies, online courses anxieties are relatively scarce. The cause for this anxiety has not been resolved or addressed sufficiently. This study takes part in this quest. Methodology: A fully online course with not face to face interaction was used for the study. A survey methodology approach was used for the anxiety scale measurements. Over 1400 students participated in the survey. Contribution: Students taking online courses continue to be challenged with anxieties. Their experiences (number of courses taken) with online courses may influence their anxieties and satisfaction levels, but that has not been studies. We contribute to this body of literature. Findings: One third of students reported to continue to experience anxiety while taking their online courses. The effect of their anxieties on their satisfaction does not seem to be influenced by their online course experience. Recommendations for Practitioners: Focus on the various elements that may influence anxieties and satisfaction of students while taking courses. For IT designers, interface and point of interactions may be the aspect to pay attention to, while professors would need to consider course pedagogy and its interaction within the IT learning environment. Recommendation for Researchers: Anxiety in online learning should take front stage as it represents an underlying stream of influence on all research in the field. Further study of the effect of online course experience on satisfaction and anxiety is necessary. Impact on Society: Anxiety in learning has many detrimental effects that last a student’s career and personality over their entire life. The impact of reducing anxieties while online learning is significant and tangible especially that online learning is at its initial stages of an exponential growth and will change the world sooner than later. Future Research: Pedagogy for efficient and effective online courses to reduce anxieties and in-crease satisfaction.

"Identifying Barriers to Integration of Technology into Traditional Approach of Teaching: A Case Study of Mathematics Teachers in Former Transkei in the Eastern Cape." In InSITE 2018: Informing Science + IT Education Conferences: La Verne California. Informing Science Institute, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/4045.
Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: [The full paper was previously published in the International Journal of Community Development & Management Studies, 1, 39-47. Available at http://ijcdms.org/Volume01/v1p063-071Fosu3785.pdf] The main aim of the study is to identify some of the barriers to the integration of technology into the teaching of mathematics in high schools. Background: Writing on chalkboards as a method of transferring knowledge is a key feature of traditional approach to teaching may have been successful in the past, but the minds of the current generation vary from those of the previous generation. Today’s students are immersed in technology. They are much more up-to-date on the latest technology and gadgets. Technology has certainly changed how students access and integrate information, so it plausible that technology has also changed the way students thinks. Growing up with cutting-edge technologies has left them thinking differently than students of past generations. This call for new innovative approaches to teaching that will cater to the students of today. Of course it is not wise to discard the traditional way of teaching that the past teachers have painstakingly created because of its past and some current success. This is why it is recommended to use this approach as a base for the new ones. Thus, if there is a way to transfer the advantages of this approach of teaching to new innovative approach then teachers should do everything in their power to merge the past and the present into one innovative teaching approach. Methodology: Purposeful sampling was used to survey a total of 116 high school mathematics teachers in the former Transkei Homelands. But only 97 questionnaires were deemed usable because of the way they have answered the questions. Microsoft excel was used in the descriptive statistics Contribution: To identify some barriers that need to be addressed by stakeholders, policy makers in high school education so that high school mathematics teachers will be able to integrate technology into their classroom teaching to meet today students’ learning needs. Findings: The results indicated that the participating teachers need to be trained and supported in the use of the new technologies applicable to teaching mathematics. Recommendations for Practitioners: The Eastern Cape department of education needs to consider the lacked of technology training as a barrier to the integration of technology into the teaching of mathematics and take necessary steps to address it. Recommendation for Researchers: There is the need to explore in depth whether the factors of gender and age also act as barriers. Impact on Society: The research will assist stakeholders, policy makers of high school education to identify the needs of mathematics teachers. That is to say, the skill sets, experience and expertise, as well as teaching equipment and classroom design and environment required by mathematics teachers. Future Research: More work needs to be done to check whether gender, age of the teachers have some effects on their attitude towards technology integration as well as evaluate the role played by choice of teaching methodology and teaching objectives.

In GLOCAL Conference on Asian Linguistic Anthropology 2019. The GLOCAL Unit, SOAS University of London, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.47298/cala2019.11-4.
Full textAbstract:
We are living in the age of adaptation. In contemporary art, the power of adaptation is evidenced by the fact that a textual semiotic system is continuously passing through the different genres and means to establish new texts. Adaptation is also an intercultural translation as each work adapted experiences a cultural shift so as to adapt to the target culture. Although The Tale of Kieu (Nguyen Du) made use of the plot of Kim Van Kieu, written as the pseudonym Qingxin Cairen (青心才人, Pure Heart Talented Man), in the Vietnamese artistic context, the tale can be considered as the “original text” that provides superabundant materials for other adaptations. The Tale of Kieu is one of the Nom poetries that has been most adapted to other art forms, particularly “cải lương” (reformed theatre). In this study, we analyze the case of video-cải lương Kim Van Kieu (directed by Nguyen Bach Tuyet), to determine modes of semiotic transposition from the narrative (narrative poem) to the performance/showing (video cải lương). This inter-semiotic translation process requires that the author adapts, selects, renounces, transforms as well as encodes/decodes, as semiotics, genre, and materials belonging to the verbal semiotic system to the nonverbal semiotic system, or vice versa. To concretize this, we analyze factors that were involved or omited during the adaptation of The Tale of Kieu to Kim Van Kieu.

Job, Jacob. Mesa Verde National Park: Acoustic monitoring report. National Park Service, July 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2286703.
Full textAbstract:
In 2015, the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD) received a request to collect baseline acoustical data at Mesa Verde National Park (MEVE). Between July and August 2015, as well as February and March 2016, three acoustical monitoring systems were deployed throughout the park, however one site (MEVE002) stopped recording after a couple days during the summer due to wildlife interference. The goal of the study was to establish a baseline soundscape inventory of backcountry and frontcountry sites within the park. This inventory will be used to establish indicators and thresholds of soundscape quality that will support the park and NSNSD in developing a comprehensive approach to protecting the acoustic environment through soundscape management planning. Additionally, results of this study will help the park identify major sources of noise within the park, as well as provide a baseline understanding of the acoustical environment as a whole for use in potential future comparative studies. In this deployment, sound pressure level (SPL) was measured continuously every second by a calibrated sound level meter. Other equipment included an anemometer to collect wind speed and a digital audio recorder collecting continuous recordings to document sound sources. In this document, “sound pressure level” refers to broadband (12.5 Hz–20 kHz), A-weighted, 1-second time averaged sound level (LAeq, 1s), and hereafter referred to as “sound level.” Sound levels are measured on a logarithmic scale relative to the reference sound pressure for atmospheric sources, 20 μPa. The logarithmic scale is a useful way to express the wide range of sound pressures perceived by the human ear. Sound levels are reported in decibels (dB). A-weighting is applied to sound levels in order to account for the response of the human ear (Harris, 1998). To approximate human hearing sensitivity, A-weighting discounts sounds below 1 kHz and above 6 kHz. Trained technicians calculated time audible metrics after monitoring was complete. See Methods section for protocol details, equipment specifications, and metric calculations. Median existing (LA50) and natural ambient (LAnat) metrics are also reported for daytime (7:00–19:00) and nighttime (19:00–7:00). Prominent noise sources at the two backcountry sites (MEVE001 and MEVE002) included vehicles and aircraft, while building and vehicle predominated at the frontcountry site (MEVE003). Table 1 displays time audible values for each of these noise sources during the monitoring period, as well as ambient sound levels. In determining the current conditions of an acoustical environment, it is informative to examine how often sound levels exceed certain values. Table 2 reports the percent of time that measured levels at the three monitoring locations were above four key values.
