Young adults typically believe that life gets increasingly satisfying over time. We examined the cultural life script as a source of these beliefs. In Study 1 (N = 1244), tabulation of previously published studies indicated that life script events are perceived as becoming increasingly positive over time between the ages of 10 and 30. Further, a specific series of 16 key life script events during this life stage was identified. These results were replicated in Study 2 (N = 100, Mage = 21.14, 51% female) based on young adults‘ perceptions concerning life script events in their personal life stories. Further, the perception that life script events in one's personal life story were becoming increasingly positive over time was linked with more steeply inclining subjective life satisfaction trajectories (i.e. recollected past < current < anticipated future life satisfaction). In Study 3 (N = 261, Mage = 18.5, 93.7% female), manipulating life script event information (number and positivity of events over time) within a personal life story had an additive impact on young adults‘ subjective life satisfaction trajectories. These findings reveal a robust connection between information contained with the cultural life script and the belief that life gets more and more satisfying over time.

Some important life events are part of the cultural life script as expected transitional events with culturally sanctioned timing. However, not all personally important events align with the cultural life script, including some events that are widely experienced. Here, we ask whether there are specific characteristics that define the events that become part of a culture’s life script and what role life experience plays. In Experiment 1, younger adults rated life events on different measures tapping central event dimensions in autobiographical memory theories. Cross-culturally extremely frequent cultural life script events consistently received higher ratings than other commonly experienced life story events. Experiment 2 demonstrated that these findings did not interact with age. Both younger and older adults rated the extreme cultural life script events most highly. In addition, older adults rated all types of life events more highly than younger adults, suggesting a greater appreciation of life events overall.

Introduction. The Mongolian script is a prime example of the written culture of Mongols. Over the past 30 years, the Mongolian State and Government have been implementing step-by-step measures to restore and apply the Mongolian script. Goals. The survey study aims to provide an analysis on the content of each event thereto, scope of corresponding activities, and outcomes of those actions — and also identify at what level these orders and decrees are not being implemented, and what should be done to ensure that these measures be fully executed. Materials. The study analyzes decrees, orders and resolutions of the President and the Government of Mongolia. It largely focuses on the ‘National Program for Mongolian Script — I, II, III’ which was conducted by the Government since 1995. Results. The paper shows that the restoration of the national written language is one of the important tasks of the state system in Mongolia. The decree of the Small State Khural (1991) on the introduction of records management in Mongolian script in the country and the corresponding decree of the Great State Khural (1994) on the intensification of work for the implementation of this goal and the development of the National Program for Mongolian Script were of great importance for the restoration of the significance of Mongolian script. In subsequent years, the solution of the tasks was facilitated by decrees of the President of Mongolia on the celebration of the 800th anniversary of Mongolian script (2003) and on the expansion and acceleration of work on the use of Mongolian script (2018). The National Program developed in accordance with the decision of the supreme legislative body has been implemented since 1995 and contains tasks for the transition to the use of two scripts from 2025. But the measures that have been carried out since 1995 at various levels did not provide a sufficient basis for introduction of the two scripts (national Mongolian and Cyrillic ones) into the public life from 2025. However, in 2020, the practice of accelerated learning of the Mongolian script and its application began. At the moment, it is necessary to identify the difficulties that may arise when using two scripts in Mongolia since 2025. Thus, for a quarter of a century, the issue of restoring the status of the national writing system has been consistently resolved.

AbstractThis study tested the hypothesis that trauma memories are disjointed from other autobiographical material in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Assault survivors with (n = 25) and without PTSD (n = 49) completed an autobiographical memory retrieval task during script-driven imagery of (a) the assault and (b) an unrelated negative event. When listening to a taped imagery script of the worst moment of their assault, survivors with PTSD took longer to retrieve unrelated non-traumatic autobiographical information than those without PTSD, but not when listening to a taped script of the worst moment of another negative life event. The groups also did not differ in general retrieval latencies, neither at baseline nor after the imagery tasks. The findings are in line with suggestions that traumatic memories are less integrated with other autobiographical information in trauma survivors with PTSD than in those without PTSD.

This is a narration of the centrality of 9/11 in a Muslim's life, highlighting its continuous presence by drawing connections between the present and the past. Beginning with listening to radios as a teenager, an experience that I shared with my father, this performance script connects the initial reactions to hearing the news on the radio to my experiences in post-9/11 America. It touches on the experiences of having to hide one's religious beliefs so that the students do not perceive their teacher differently. It shows the power of this event and its haunting presence.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to analyse Indonesian humorous status in social media by applying the Script Semantic Theory of Humour (SSTH) and the parameters called Knowledge Resources (KRs) of the General Theory of Verbal Humour (GTVH). It is conducted by applying a qualitative method since the purpose of this study is primarily to describe and to establish the variation in a situation, phenomenon, problem, or event without quantifying them. The data is taken from Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp account followed by the first writer of this study for eight months. There are 17 statuses to be analysed, in which, seven statuses consist of 21 phrases analysed by applying SSTH theory, while the other 10 statuses consist of 14 phrases as set-up stages, 18 phrases, and three pictures as punchline stages analysed by applying GTVH theory. From the data being displayed, regarding the Superiority theory, it is found that people generally laugh because of other people’s misfortunes, and it emphasizes one’s superiority to the shortcomings of others. The people will laugh at individuals who are inferior or ugly, because they feel happy, and feel superior to them. Based on Release/Relief theory, humorous status also stems from regenerating something painful into something light-hearted. It is an indication of the misfortunate aspects of life. From the Incongruity theory, it is found that humour appears when there is an oddity between the concepts prepared in certain situations and the real events that are thought to be related to the concept. The paper further elaborates the findings and discuss them in detail.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines contrasting but complementary narrative and filmic representations of the Guadeloupean resistance to Napoleon's attempt to reimpose a slavery regime in the French colonies. This underrepresented and under-analyzed event, one of landmark importance in the Caribbean tradition of rebellion and self-liberation, focuses our attention more closely on the extended arc of liberatory acts – inscribed in a variety of locations but always espousing the same goal – that mark the identitarian activities of Caribbean slaves almost from the inception of the colonial moment to the act of emancipation. In a large sense, the resistance to Napoleon's invading forces, although ultimately doomed to failure in Guadeloupe, emerged from and was shaped by the specificities of social, economic, and political structures that transformed Guadeloupe during this critical period, and was driven by principles of liberation and self-emancipation emerging from the path adopted by Guadeloupe's governor, Victor Hugues, and the various communities over which he presided. Resistance in Guadeloupe was a fight to preserve a way of life. Analyzing this resistance compels us to acknowledge individual and collective expressions of the idea and practice of freedom that were originally erased by those charged with constructing the colonial script, and draws attention to the still-marginal inscription of these events in contemporary culture.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an investigation of the complex processes and relationships between the physical human performer and the technologically manufactured cyber-human counterpart. I acted as both researcher and the physical human performer, deeply engaged in the moment-to-moment creation of events unfolding within a shared virtual reality environment. As the primary instigator and activator of the cyber-human partner, I maintained a balance between the live and technological performance elements, prioritizing the production of content and meaning. By way of using practice as research, this thesis argues that in considering interactions between cyber-human and human performers, it is crucial to move beyond discussions of technology when considering interactions between cyber-humans and human performers to an analysis of emotional content, the powers of poetic imagery, the trust that is developed through sensory perception and the evocation of complex relationships. A theoretical model is constructed to describe the relationship between a cyber-human and a human performer in the five works created specifically for this thesis, which is not substantially different from that between human performers. Technological exploration allows for the observation and analysis of various relationships, furthering an expanded understanding of ‘movement as content’ beyond the electronic connection. Each of the works created for this research used new and innovative technologies, including virtual reality, multiple interactive systems, six generations of wearable computers, motion capture technology, high-end digital lighting projectors, various projection screens, smart electronically charged fabrics, multiple sensory sensitive devices and intelligent sensory charged alternative performance spaces. They were most often collaboratively created in order to augment all aspects of the performance and create the sense of community found in digital live dance performances/events. These works are identified as one continuous line of energy and discovery, each representing a slight variation on the premise that a working, caring, visceral and poetic content occurs beyond the technological tools. Consequently, a shift in the physical human’s psyche overwhelms the act of performance. Scholarship and reflection on the works have been integral to my creative process throughout. The goals of this thesis, the works created and the resulting methodologies are to investigate performance to heighten the multiple ways we experience and interact with the world. This maximizes connection and results in a highly interactive, improvisational, dynamic, non-linear, immediate, accessible, agential, reciprocal, emotional, visceral and transformative experience without boundaries between the virtual and physical for physical humans, cyborgs and cyber-humans alike.

Dissertação de Mestrado realizada sob a orientação do Prof. Doutor António Pazo Pires, apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário para obtenção de grau de Mestre em Psicologia ClínicaOs Scripts Culturais de Vida são expectativas partilhadas culturalmente quanto à ordem e tempo em que importantes acontecimentos transitivos devem ocorrer num curso de vida prototípico de uma determinada cultura. São conhecimento semântico, permitem estabilidade, sendo centrais na vida dos sujeitos. São de grande importância para a compreensão da memória autobiográfica quanto ao seu papel na organização e recordação de importantes memórias com carga emocional associada. Assim, os scripts permitem uma explicação para o efeito de reminiscência – fenómeno observado na distribuição temporal das memórias autobiográficas. Enfatiza-se o efeito de positividade referentes a eventos de scripts no período da adolescência e início da vida adulta. O objectivo desta investigação centrou-se no estudo de algumas propriedades dos scripts culturais de vida, na relação entre estes e eventos de história de vida, comparação das suas distribuições temporais numa amostra da população portuguesa. Neste estudo o protocolo instrumental aplicado foi constituído pelo Questionário Sócio-Demográfico, Questionário de Scripts de Vida, Questionário de Eventos de História de Vida, Escala Centralidade de Evento e B.D.I. A amostra é composta por 123 participantes (75 do género feminino e 48 masculino) com média de idade 46,42. Os resultados demonstraram existir estabilidade quanto às categorias dos scripts previamente geradas. Verificou-se sobreposição e efeito de reminiscência em ambas as distribuições temporais para eventos de valência emocional positiva. Encontrou-se uma distribuição temporal não uniforme para eventos de scripts e de história de vida de valência emocional negativa. Estes resultados são relevantes não indo de encontro à literatura, distinguindo-se de outras investigações.
Cultural Life Scripts are culturally shared expectations as to the order and timing of important life events in a prototypical life course within a given culture. They’re semantic knowledge that allows stability, being central to the lives of the subjects. They are of great importance for the understanding of autobiographical memory as to it’s central role in the organization and remembering importante memories with emocional valence associated. Thus, the scripts provide na explanation for the reminiscence effect – phenomenon observed in the temporal distribuition of autobiographical memories.The effect of positivity related to script event in adolescence and early adulthodd is emphasized. The aim of this investigation was to study some properties of cultural life scripts, the relationship between these and personal life events, comparing their temporal distributions in a sample of portuguese population. In this study the protocol apllied consisted of Social-Demographic Quetionnaire, Life Script Questionnaire, Life History Event Questionnaire, Event Centrality Scale and Beck’s Depression Inventory. The sample consisted of 123 participants (75 females and 48 males) with a mean age of 46.42. The results demonstrated stability regarding the script categories previously generated. There was overlap and reminiscence effect in both temporal distributions for positive emotional valence events. A non uniform temporal distribution was found for negative emotional valence script and life story events. These results are relevant and contradict the literature, distinguishing from others investigations.

ABSTRACT: Cultural life script consists of a cognitive schema, which describes a subject’s prototype life in a certain culture, and it helps to structure the individual’s autobiographical memory. It works as a reference point to attribute meanings to life events and generate future expectations. Cultural life scripts have arisen as an explanation theory to the reminiscence bump, suggesting that the bump would be a product of remembrance strategies when evoking life events. The aim of this research was to study how life cultural scripts and life story events are related, and how they both influence the recall of autobiographical memories, in a Portuguese population sample. We also examined the relation between the centrality of a stressful life event and life story events. We applied a protocol containing the Life Scripts Events and Questionnaire, Life Story Events and Questionnaire and Events Centrality Scale to a sample of 186 subjects (119 female and 67 male). We found an overlap between the constituent events of Cultural Life Scripts and Life Story. We found a reminiscence effect for both positive emotional valence and negative emotional valence life events. We didn’t found correlations between life story events and events’ centrality.

de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Clínica.Os Scripts Culturais de Vida referem-se a eventos considerados culturalmente importantes, maioritariamente de valência emocional positiva e do início da idade adulta, fornecendo uma explicação para o efeito de reminiscência, estando intimamente ligado à função mnemónica das memórias autobiográficas. Já os Eventos de História de Vida tratam das narrativas das memórias autobiográficas de cada indivíduo. Os estilos de vinculação são padrões de expectativas, necessidades, emoções e comportamentos sociais, resultantes dos Eventos de História de Vida do indivíduo. Utilizámos as definições de Bartholomew et. al (1998) onde são mencionados quatro estilos de vinculação – seguro, ansioso, preocupado e desligado. O objetivo da presente investigação foi de verificar a existência de um Script Cultural de Vida e do efeito de reminiscência para a população portuguesa, relacionando posteriormente as suas características com os estilos de vinculação. Foi analisada uma amostragem de 123 participantes e o protocolo constituído pelo: o Questionário de Scripts de Vida, o Questionário de Eventos de História de Vida, a Escala de Vinculação do Adulto, o Inventário de Depressão de Beck, o Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos e o Inventário de Ansiedade Estado e Traço. Dos resultados obtidos verificámos a existência de um Script Cultural de Vida para a população portuguesa e a presença de um efeito de reminiscência. Não foi verificada correlação entre o Script Cultural de Vida, os Eventos de História de Vida e os estilos de vinculação.
The Cultural Life Scripts refer to important events biased from early adulthood and with a positive emotional valence. This statement is connected to the mnemonic function of autobiographical memories and gives an explanation for the reminiscence effect. On the other hand, Life Story Events are the autobiographical narrative of an individual´s life. The attachment styles are patterns of expectations, necessities, emotions and social behaviors that result from an individual’s Life Story Events. In this investigation we used the four attachment styles defined by Bartholomew et. Al (1998). The main objective was to verify the existence of a Cultural Life Script and a reminiscence effect in the Portuguese population, latter relating the characteristics of a Portuguese Cultural Life Script with the attachment patterns. Our sample consisted of 123 individuals to whom we applied the Portuguese version of the Life Scripts Events and Questionnaire, the Life Story Events and Questionnaire, the Adult Attachment Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Brief Symptom Inventory and the State- Trate Anxiety Inventory. From the obtained results we confirmed the existence of a Portuguese Cultural Life Script and the presence of a reminiscence effect. However we didn’t verify a correlation between the Cultural Life Scripts, the Life Story Events and the attachment styles.

Com esta metodologia preenchemos uma lacuna nos estudos existentes. Neste estudo utilizamos uma amostra de 36 casais heterossexuais com idades entre os 23 e os 64 (M = 41,07; DP = 10,515). A aplicação do protocolo foi presencial e autorizada através de um consentimento informado, sendo constituído por um questionário sociodemográfico, uma tarefa (Questionário dos Scripts de Vida) e 5 escalas clínicas (EVA, Escala da Centralidade de Eventos, Nova Escala Multidimensional de Depressão, BDI-I e IIP). Os resultados nos acontecimentos de vida, através do conteúdos dos Scripts de vida, não foram similares em ambos os membros do casal, situação que pode ser devido a lacunas, mas estes, apresentam maioritariamente, o mesmo estilo de vinculação como a literatura o refere. Este estudo foi um avanço no entender do funcionamento dos casais, mas está limitado pelo tamanho da sua amostra, aspecto que será retificado na continuação do estudo.
This work as the aim of studying the influence of attachment in a production of life story events, and how then both influence, as on the choice of the life partner, as of the life course. With this methodology we fill of a gap of the pre-existent studies. In this study we used 36 heterosexual couples with a range of ages between 23 and 64 years old (M = 41,07; SD = 10,515). The protocol application was in loco and authorized through a informed consent, that was established with a sociodemographic, a task (Life Script Questionnaire) and 5 scale’s (AAS-R, Centrality of Events Scale, New Multidimensional Depression Assessment Scale, BDI-I and IIP). The results reported on the life story events, through the contents of the Life Script, weren’t similar on both members of the couple, situation that could be because of a gap, but this, mostly present, the same attachment style as the literature suggested. This study is an advance on the understanding of couple functioning, but is limited by the size of the sample, aspect that will be ratified in the continuation of the study.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter takes the Turkish Republican decision in 1928 to replace its official Arabic script with Latin script—the Alphabet Revolution—as a second case study in nonhuman biopolitical nostalgia. Comparing Turkey’s demolition of its alphabet to similar twentieth-century moments in other modernist states, and contextualizing this history within a reading of nineteenth-century proselytizing on so-called phonetic logic, the chapter explores the varied lives of both the “new” and the “old” alphabet. It concludes that a dead alphabet is, like embryonic matter, also a reproducing, thinking, and nostalgic assemblage. As such, it remains, as other data hoards have and do, very much alive and political, even when it is seemingly put to rest.

Full textAbstract:
Early modern private prayer shows skill in narration and drama. In manuals and sermons on how to pray, collections of model prayers, scholarly treatises about biblical petitions, and popular tracts about life crises prompting calls to God, prayer is valued as a powerful agent of change. Model prayers create stories about people in distinct ranks and jobs, with concrete details about real-life situations. These characters may act in play-lets, or appear in the middle of difficulties, or voice a suite of petitions from all sides of a conflict. Thinking of early modern private prayers as dramatic dialogues rather than as lyric monologues raises the question of whether play-going and praying were mutually reinforcing practices. Could dramatists deploying prayer on stage rely on having audience members who were already expert at making up roles for themselves in prayer, and who expected their petitions to have the power to intervene in major events? Does prayer’s focus on cause and effect structure the historiography of Shakespeare’s history plays: 2 and 3 Henry VI, Richard III, Richard II, Henry V, and Henry VIII?

This book aims to analyze four crossdressers narratives who have been imprisoned for different periods of time in order to raise debates on resistance ways carried out by each one of them. The crossdressers interviewed here were reached by different connections such as friends in common, social media or phone calls, which did not represent a closed and narrowed field but one that it is open and flexible. The issues raised here tried to sketch the crossdresser category through the words by crossdressers writers along with the concepts about themselves and self- determinations, therefore shaping a kind of autobiography even if it is led by a semi- structured script. The existing connections among them, beyond the crossdresser category, lie at first in their access to the prison system and later in finding ways to make it possible to go through life imprisonment. These articulated methods are tactics thought in the space and time web, that is, on a daily basis. This is also one of the book investigation focuses, once it matters to understand not the crossdressers heroic actions, but the ordinary ones, the usual ones, articulated according to educational backgrounds thought as being a less important education.

Chapter 2 introduces the concept of cultural learning and its function in the transmission of cultural knowledge over generations, and the construction of new cultural beliefs/values and behavioral scripts. It examines brain activity that is engaged in differential processing of culturally familiar and unfamiliar information by reviewing functional magnetic resonance imaging and event-related potential studies of neural activity involved in the processing of gesture, music, brand, and religious knowledge. Long-term cultural experiences give rise to specific neural mechanisms in the human brain that deal with culturally familiar information in multiple neural circuits underlying the inference of mental states and reward, for example. The unique neural mechanisms underlying culturally familiar stimuli provide a default mode of neural processing of culturally familiar information received in daily life.

This chapter assembles sources which utilize several popular epithets that accompany the figure of Enoch and serve to identify him even in those literary contexts which do not explicitly use the name “Enoch.” These include distinctive phraseology like “seventh from Adam,” “righteous,” “scribe of righteousness,” and even certain messianic correlations. Included also in this chapter are a series of literary portraits found primarily in Arabic language texts which provide a description of the physical appearance of this antediluvian forefather. Attention is also drawn to certain popular aliases borne by Enoch in later literary settings, such as the angel Metatron, the Graeco-Egyptian teacher Hermes Trismegistus, and the qur’ānic prophet Idrīs.

Full textAbstract:
This pioneering book explores varieties of performance – and their contexts – of Burns’s texts, specifically in song, in his local theatre and in public ceremonies or dramatisations of his work. It discusses how aspects of such performances mediate versions of ‘Robert Burns’. It begins by paying close attention to how editors shape perceptions of Burns and his work by providing versions and selections of texts which become the ‘script’ through which performance of ‘Robert Burns’ is based. Eminent experts address how Burns has become both subject and object of performance since his death, through celebratory events like Burns Suppers or public procession, or as a dramatic theme on stage and screen. They explore popular representation of him and his work in music hall, pantomime, public ceremonial and folk song. The collection complements existing writing about Burns, offering deep insights into ways he provides matter for – and himself become material for – performance. It concludes with detailed exploration involving two leading modern interpreters, Jean Redpath and Sheena Wellington, of the performance of Burns’s songs, so complementing theoretical and historical study with insights derived from the work of such performers.

The first chapter of Hieroglyphic Modernisms exposes the complex history of Western misconceptions of Egyptian writing from antiquity to the present. Hieroglyphs bridge the gap between modern technologies and the ancient past, looking forward to the rise of new media and backward to the dispersal of languages in the mythical moment of the Tower of Babel. The contradictory ways in which hieroglyphs were interpreted in the West come to shape the differing ways that modernist writers and filmmakers understood the relationship between writing, film, and other new media. On the one hand, poets like Ezra Pound and film theorists like Vachel Lindsay and Sergei Eisenstein use the visual languages of China and of Egypt as a more primal or direct alternative to written words. But Freud, Proust, and the later Eisenstein conversely emphasize the phonetic qualities of Egyptian writing, its similarity to alphabetical scripts. The chapter concludes by arguing that even avant-garde invocations of hieroglyphics depend on narrative form through an examination of Hollis Frampton’s experimental film Zorns Lemma.

This chapter attempts to account for the production of complex texts that followers believe neither Joseph Smith nor Helen Schucman could have produced on their own. Smith and Schucman made different claims when it came to the production of the Book of Mormon and A Course in Miracles. Smith claimed to translate the Book of Mormon from ancient gold plates inscribed in Reformed Egyptian, and Schucman claimed to scribe words dictated by the voice of Jesus. In order to identify underlying processes that allowed them to generate “selves” that seemed as if they were “other” both to themselves and their collaborators, we need to reconstruct what it was like to “translate” in Smith's case and “scribe” in Schucman's case based on the evidence supplied by them and those who observed them firsthand.

In a journal article entitled ‘No More Peace!': How Disaster, Terror and War Have Upstaged Media Events (2007), Elihu Katz and Tamar Liebes offered a substantial revision of Media Events: The Live Broadcasting of History (Dayan & Katz, 1992). Katz and Liebes included “dark” events in the “media events” concept, distinguishing unexpected, disruptive events from the carefully scripted, integrative events that had been the sole focus of Media Events. They also claimed that disruptive events – like disaster, terror and war – have in fact upstaged more classical media events. In contrast, in this chapter I argue that ceremonial media events - as originally conceptualized by Dayan and Katz in the nineties - are still essential and powerful features of our social lives. First, I present an overview of the “pessimistic turn” of media events research and provide my criticism of it. Second, I discuss three contemporary case studies from three national contexts: the Obama inauguration (2009), the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton (2011) and the most recent World Cup (2014). These three events represent the three basic scripts introduced by Dayan and Katz: “conquest,” “coronation” and “contest.” I argue that the selected case studies (and many other events) still bring societies and nations together in our “disillusioned” media environment, providing momentary hope for local and cosmopolitan citizens.

This chapter pursues further the stakes of a universal politics in a variety of case studies that serve as key global sites of resistance and antagonism, spanning the West and the East, or the global North and South. It considers the ways the diverse phenomena of climate change, refugee crises, Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, political Islam, Bolivia under Morales, the European Union, and Covid-19 open up emancipatory spaces when they manage to short-circuit the democratic liberal script, exhorting us to see to what extent the script works against (most of) us. To that end, the revolutionary potential of these events lies in their capacity to shake our postpolitical myopia by inciting us to read politically and dialectically—to read with an eye for capital and political economy, race and gender, and the libidinal economy that subtends their global circulation.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 3 takes the long view of Anna Barbauld’s career as a dynamic example of the interactions between media, gender, and genre over nearly seven decades, from the 1760s, when she began composing verse, to the mid-1820s, when she died and a significant quantity of her unpublished writing came to light. Barbauld’s considerable fame as a poet rested on the social verse she published in the 1770s – poems she had written a decade earlier for her domestic circle and which she reluctantly published. For reasons we only imperfectly understand, she never printed another collection of her poems, even after the enormous success of her 1773 volume, reviews of which compared her to both Milton and Shakespeare, and even though she continued to write poetry for the next five decades of her life. She did strategically print some of her poems in magazines, whereas others she circulated in manuscript. This chapter points to the sociable and political nature of many of Barbauld’s poems, as well as to the satiric vein that runs throughout, to understand her reluctance to publish poetry and her willingness to publish in other genres, from political and religious tracts to educational and children’s books.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines Carrie's transition from page to screen, which involved numerous changes to the style and tone of Stephen King's novel decided upon for creative and budgetary reasons by Brian De Palma and screenwriter Lawrence D. Cohen. Alterations to the final shooting script (the second draft of the adaptation) were brought about by a combination of time constraints, on set improvisation, and decisions made during post-production editing. Though the studio approved the second draft, a fairly rare occurrence in Hollywood, United Artists would waver on the project in other areas. Even given the horror genre's commercial and critical successes during the period, United Artists were, perhaps understandably, unconvinced that the adaptation of a debut novel by an experienced director still looking for a major commercial success was worth risking any more than the figure allocated. It is telling that the only real problem De Palma had with the project was in relation to those controlling the marketing of the movie. For De Palma, Carrie was a serious movie, with serious points to make about the cruelty of teenagers, the insidious effects of religious fervour, and the state of contemporary American society, regardless of it being wrapped up in supernatural trappings. United Artists, however, marketed Carrie as cheap popcorn entertainment.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter centers upon a household of elderly African American women raising a child so medically fragile he is completely dependent. A key issue arises for them: Who will care for this child when I/we are gone? Because care for this child looms so large, the good (old) life is intertwined with or even subordinate to what they discern as the child's best good life. Racial inequality and economic insecurity deeply shape their possibilities and strivings for a good life as they age. Their precarious social position invites consideration of the societal injustices surrounding aging. Taking an imagistic and phenomenological approach to social critique, the chapter paints a series of everyday domestic scenes, minor moments of ordinary life situated within a history of racial violence, in order to “defrost” typifications surrounding concepts like race, power, structural violence, and disability. Can even modest domestic scenes instruct our gaze, disorienting what Glissant calls transparencies and Arendt calls frozen concepts? Can the particular act as scrim, refiguring transparency into generative and vitalizing opacity?

Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, college tours are no longer available, so many students have lost the opportunity to see their dream school’s campus. To solve this problem, we developed a product called “Virtourgo,” a university virtual tour website that uses Google Street View images gathered from a web scraper allowing students to see what college campuses are like even when tours are unavailable during the pandemic. The project consists of 3/4 parts: the web scraper script, the GitHub server, the Google Domains DNS Server, and the HTML files. Some challenges we met include scraping repeated pictures and letting the HTML dropdown menu jump to the correct location. We solved these by implementing Python and Javascript functions that specifically target such challenges. Finally, after experimenting with all the functions of the web scraper and website, we confirmed that it works as expected and can scrape and deliver tours of any university campus or public buildings we want.

Since its conception, Ginga-NCL supports live editing commands that allows broadcasters and their applications to change the behavior of NCL document presentations. This can be achieved via stream events inserted into the broadcast stream, or via Lua scripts in the same application. Recently, editing commands may be posted via apps running on smart devices in the home network. Considering this last mode, one may imagine a use case where smart devices can be used to change the behavior of Ginga-NCL apps including not only the command itself, but also new media content related to the command, like photos and videos. This contribution proposes the addition of media injection accompanying live editing commands.

In this paper we aim to present a conceptual framework for virtual creation, exploration, and representation of architectural space. This framework will allow us to establish a method that will drive the viewer along a path, intended by the researcher, to experience, interact and get feedback of spaces in study, through linear or interactive narratives.Space virtual computational representation tools have evolved over the last decades and are now providing advanced new tools from gaming, AI and VR real-time complex fictional environments creation, depiction and interaction. From interior spaces to planetary systems, replicated or fictional, sets for all kinds of computer simulation models with immersive possibilities can be created and explored.In a linear visual narrative of a 3D animation the viewer is carried, without choice, by the flow of visual narrative storytelling, through several spaces, events, conclusions, expectations, premonitions, anticipations, empathy and characters and environments, fictional readings in dreamlike narratives, where reality and fantasy can be blended. In an interactive tale storytelling and script, the linearity would become in theoretically infinite lines of possible events and plots, with diverse endings, in which a narrative story line diverges in multiple plots.Having a set of formal parameterized elements within a grammatical lexicon that constitute and methodological approach to an architectural object in a study, it is intended to look at methods to experience, interact and get feedback of spaces in study, through visual multiple narratives, linear or interactive, being immersed or not. All these narrative approaches imply a script and visual grammars, storyline, and plot, where the player looks or travels through a fictional space, in a lived and experiential way.For conception and planning as for studying or research in the architectural field, this is an area of expertise to explore, as these new graphic computing tools can pursue new approaches, using several methods available to apply in each research, to provide analysis breakthroughs.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, the amount of radioactive materials seizures (captured radioactive materials) has been rising. It was above all due to newly installed detection facilities that were able to check metallic scrap during its collection in scrap yards or on the entrance to iron-mills, checking municipal waste upon entrance to municipal disposal sites, even incineration plants, or through checking vehicles going through the borders of the Czech Republic. Most cases bore a relationship to secondary raw materials or they were connected to the application of machines and installations made from contaminated metallic materials. However, in accordance to our experience, the number of cases of seizures of materials and devices containing radioactive sources used in the public domain was lower, but not negligible, in the municipal storage yards or incineration plants. Atomic Act No. 18/1997 Coll. will apply to everybody who provides activities leading to exposure, mandatory assurance as high radiation safety as risk of the endangering of life, personal health and environment is as low as reasonably achievable in according to social and economic aspects. Hence, attention on the examination of all cases of the radioactive material seizure based on detection facilities alarm or reasonably grounds suspicion arising from the other information is important. Therefore, a service carried out by group of workers who ensure assessment of captured radioactive materials and eventual retrieval of radioactive sources from the municipal waste has come into existence in the Nuclear Research Institute Rez plc. This service has covered also transport, storage, processing and disposal of found radioactive sources. This service has arisen especially for municipal disposal sites, but later on even other companies took advantage of this service like incineration plants, the State Office for Nuclear Safety, etc. Our experience in the field of ensuring assessment of captured radioactive materials and eventual retrieval of radioactive sources will be presented in the paper.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Liquid loading is experienced in high water-cut wells operating against high sealine pressure in an offshore mature field without artificial lift. This phenomenon is usually not captured by VLP/IPR representation built into reservoir simulation or steady-state well models, which results in overestimation of future oil production. Key value drivers for the project are developing an understanding of the liquid loading based on critical fluid velocity, well completion and reservoir characteristics and study its impact on simulation forecasts. Firstly, the liquid loading condition has been correlated to different well parameters such as productivity index, GOR and water-cut. The correlation is built from routinely acquired flow test data showing wells ceasing to flow due to unstable flow regimes and fluctuating sea line pressures. Additionally, extensive well modelling using Prosper software was carried out to assess the proper fluid correlation method. Secondly, that correlation was converted into a response surface model to make the link between the unstable flow regime conditions and the impacting parameters such as well PI, GOR, well geometry. Thirdly, the unstable flow correlation was implemented in the simulation model with a script of conditional events in order to flag wells with unstable flow and shut them if no activation condition is applied such as artificial lift or THP reduction. Currently, it is estimated that about 4 wells are becoming unable to flow every year due to the mentioned loading issues. These loaded wells require vessel/barge to carry out unloading which involves significant operating cost in an offshore environment. This complex behavior is normally overcome by dynamically coupling the subsurface models to the surface production system. However, in a giant field with hundreds of wells from multiple reservoirs this can be complex and resource demanding. Application of the correlation in the simulation resulted in about 80 wells with unstable flow conditions to be closed by year 2040, whereas they would have otherwise continued to flow if regular VLP curves were used. This method served to improve the model accuracy and to increase the assurance in forecasts predictability, with regards to water-cut evolution. This study was a key driver input for deciding on the acceleration of a major debottlenecking facility related to medium pressure system at surface. Sustainability of field plateau, improved wells availability, reduced in-active wells count and associated reactivation resources are tangible benefits of the mentioned study.

<p>The Shaded Dome<span>patented</span> is a semi-permanent facility, comprised of an air-supported dome covered by a tensile membrane shade. The two layers are separated by a grid of spacers, through which forces are transferred. In the space between the two layers a constant natural air flow is present, which enables a pleasant internal microclimate. This passive design element provides protection from extreme climatological conditions like solar radiation, wind, high air temperature, humidity and precipitation. The concept provides a design challenge concerning the force balance between the air-supported dome, as the primary stability structure, and the tensile membrane shade which must remain in shape. The Shaded dome provides a solution for example for temporary events, such as World Cups or the Olympics, to replace the large and expensive venues, which often are abandoned once the event is over.</p><p>Shaded Dome Technologies explored the basic principles of an air-supported dome covered by a shade through rigorous experimenting. Parallel to empirical testing in scaled handmade models, a design model was scripted and its behaviour simulated. These two “methods” were not sequential but informed each other. The concept is cast in a computational design model. This computational model is used to simulate the inflation of the air-supported dome, generate the tensile membrane shade on top, study and vary each aspect of the design and optimise and prepare the geometry for manufacturing. The results produced within this computational framework were further explored and validated using finite element method software. This all lead to the construction of a successful prototype.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Automation and customization capabilities are becoming one of the most important trends for CAE industry, allowing to fulfill some important needs like improving productivity, increasing value-added time and establishing best practices. The state of the art to meet these requirements is the usage of dedicated applications, also called “verticals”, which enable end-users to save time by automating repetitive tasks, as well as to capture best practices and to manage complex processes with simple, user-friendly interfaces. Within the LMS CAE development suite Virtual.Lab one could already create MS Visual Basic scripts and stand-alone executables, by either programming or macro journaling, where different expertise levels of VB programming were required depending on the complexity of the desired application. A new solution, called LMS Virtual.Lab Composer, takes it even further: it dramatically improves the development process of verticals by providing dedicated MS Visual Basic controls which allow non-expert users to easily build dedicated applications without need of any extensive programming knowledge. Two examples of verticals created with Virtual.Lab Composer for different multi-body technology based applications are shown in this paper: LMS Driving Dynamics for vehicle’s driving dynamic assessment and a tool for engine mount suspension design.

Full textAbstract:
The U.S. generates about 370 million short tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) each year. In 2002, an average of 26.9% of this material was either recycled or composted. Of the remainder, an estimated 242 million short tons were disposed of in landfills and about 29 million short tons were combusted in Waste to Energy (WTE) facilities to produce electricity and scrap metal. Effective management of MSW is becoming increasingly challenging, especially in densely populated regions, such as New York City, where there is little or no landfill capacity and the tipping fees have doubled and tripled in recent years. There is also a growing appreciation of the environmental implications of landfills. Even with modern landfill construction, impacts remain from the need for transfer stations to handle putrescible wastes, their transport to distant landfills, and finally landfill gas emissions and potential aqueous run-off. Environmental impacts of concern associated with disposal in WTEs include air emissions of metals, dioxins and greenhouse gases. In the U.S., there is also a strong negative public perception of WTE facilities. Decisions about waste management should be influenced by a consideration of the overall, quantified life-cycle environmental impacts of different options. In this paper we therefore develop a methodology to assess these impacts for landfilling and WTE waste management options. Specifically we attempt to compare these two options for New York City, a large urban area.

Full textAbstract:
This article’s proposal is to relate script studies and new spectator consumption habits studies. In essence, we will explain the binge-wathching phenomenon by analysing the narritive design of complex series, identifying the specific qualities that promote the spectator's binge-wathching in the macro-structuring of this format. In a general sense, we will make our analysis by comparing the narrative structures of series and films, pointing out the differences between the narrative designs of these two formats that make it impossible for a series to be compared to an extended film. Basically, we try to disprove the idea that “as habits related to the way of watching TV series evolve, they will tend to be increasingly conceived and written as a extended film” (KALLAS , 2016, p. 16). From this statement made by Kallas, intertwining concepts of consumption habits with those of scriptwriting, some questions arise: If a series is like an extended film, why do we complain about the length of exended films, like Martin Scorsese's The Irishman with its dull 3.5 hours in length, while managing to watch whole series containing at least twice as many hours? If a series is like an extended film, why is it split into episodes even though these can be watched in sequence - binge-watching? If a series is like an extended film, why does it need the collaborative elaboration of a writers room instead of being conceived by a single author? The structural comparison between films and series is not impossible, but we will show how problematic it is, or at least how harmful for the analysis of complex series as an autonomous format, with its own notions of elaboration and structuring. In that sense, unlike films, series are built from a structure of repetition of acts within its structure – the episodes generally have 3 to 5 acts each. This results in a greater narrative density of the series, since acts compressed in time lead to a faster pace of narration, with more recurrently plot points in the story, capable of intensifying engagement and increasing the attention of the spectator who practices the binge-watching. This huge amount of acts, narrative arcs and characters go beyond the creative capacity of a single author, requiring a collaborative elaboration of a screenwriter’s room, with several heads thinking the story simultaneously. Thus, this article seeks, through the comparison of the macrostructures of series and films, to point out the differences in the narrative design of these two formats. In other words, we aim to elucidate a simple concept: different formats assume the existence of different narrative designs.

Abstract The evolution of industrial gas turbines towards increased efficiency and performance requires even higher operating temperatures for the engines. In order to remain competitive in the market, OEM companies continuously need to develop maintenance programs and repair technologies able to extend the life of these components as much as possible. The repair technology improvement is fundamental to reduce scrap rates and maintenance costs to be competitive on the market. The Ansaldo Repair Centre answers to this market demand by providing advanced and competitive repair techniques and an increasing broad repair portfolio to its customers. This paper describes the steps and approach to determine the repair process of GT26 LPT Blade 1 in order to allow the component to run another service interval. The base material status and the indication found after service was used as the foundation for a development of a dedicated repair sequence from stripping, to suitable heat treatments, to enhanced repair technique to recoating of the blade. Particular attention was paid to the most damaged area, for which a particular welding procedure including an optimized filler material has been applied for the rebuilding of the tip and platform zones as well as for the restoration of the unique tip closing features.
