Full textAbstract:
Art historians tend to focus on the literary aspects of Hunt's paintings and little is said about their disconcerting appearance. This thesis explores Hunt's attitude to art-making and his artistic practice in order to investigate the relationship between the form of his work and its content. To this end, Hunt's written output is reevaluated. A distinction is made between public texts and private journals and letters. The latter display accelerating concerns about the artistic persona. A sense of religious doubt, weakness and mortality is answered by an alternative self-image which aspires to prophetic authority. During later years, this fantasy centres on hopes of resurrection. These anxieties pivot around the perfection and authenticity of the artist's production. The realism of Hunt's painting style authenticates his religious subject matter and the beliefs and self-image behind it. Public texts emphasise an objective, mimetic technique and attempt to elide the processes by which subjective meanings are inscribed into the image. However, in practice, Hunt completes his paintings in two distinct stages. The combination, on the same canvas, of an elaborate, linear design and precise, mimetic colour effects represents the artist's attempt to synthesise the imagined and the real. This process results in a paradoxical subversion of both imaginative and optical authority which retraces the doubts manifested in Hunt's writings. The dislocation between real and imagined appearance is confronted at the point of laying the colour on the canvas. Hunt conducts extensive research into technique in order to gain control over this act, but this also heightens an awareness of the contradictory identity of the image as paint. He addresses this by aligning the materials themselves with the moral order which is being depicted. Their inevitable imperfections therefore connote disorder and the art object, as well as the image, becomes an expression of the artist's unstable identity and beliefs.

Full textAbstract:
Le répertoire des traductions anglaises d’œuvres en italien au début de la période moderne est vaste et hétérogène, notamment en raison de la circulation européenne des textes en langue vernaculaire. Publiés à peine dix ans après les Novelle (1554) de Matteo Bandello,The Palace of Pleasure (1566-1567) de William Painter et Certain Tragicall Discourses(1567) de Geoffrey Fenton peuvent être considérés comme des catalyseurs du développement de la fiction et du théâtre élisabéthains. Cependant, Fenton et Painter s'inscrivent dans un processus de traduction bien plus vaste, dont les précurseurs sont les traducteurs français, Pierre Boaistuau et François de Belleforest. Ces deux écrivains publient dès 1559 le premier tome des Histoires tragiques. La novella, elle-même à la croisée des genres, peut surtout éclairer les relations ambivalentes entre l'Italie, la France et l'Angleterre. Dans la présente thèse, j’analyse les traductions anglaises des Novelle en les mettant à la fois en rapport avec le texte source et ses traductions françaises. Ces textes montrent, à travers leurs lacunes linguistiques, omissions et ajouts, la tendance anglaise à la réappropriation des mœurs italiennes. L’objectif de ce travail est de réaffirmer la valeur littéraire de ces œuvres, en particulier celle de la monographie bandellienne de Fenton, qui demeure assez inexplorée à cause de sa prose ardue et baroque. En effet, en purifiant le contenu des Novelle, Fenton tentait d’offrir à ses lecteurs et lectrices un pharmakon contre la mauvaise conduite, tout en gardant ses distances à travers les mécanismes de traduction, de ‘domestication’ et de moralisation de la coutume italienneIssued only a decade after Matteo Bandello’s Novelle (1554), William Painter’s ThePalace of Pleasure (1566-1567) and Geoffrey Fenton’s Certain Tragicall Discourses(1567) can be seen as catalysts for the development of later Elizabethan fiction and drama.However, Fenton and Painter need to be situated more finely within a wider European translating process, as they mostly based their own endeavours upon the work of Bandello’s French translators, Pierre Boaistuau and François de Belleforest. Indeed, in1559, these two writers published a collection of Histoires tragiques, drawing on the Italian source. In the English translation of the Italian novella, the domestication of Italian culture is operated through a moralisation and a redemption of‘Italianated’ corrupted manners. The present study, which seeks to situate itself within thefield of early modern translation studies, will necessarily be comparative, taking into account the different strata leading up to the final cultural and literary output in English,with a distinct focus on Fenton’s Bandellian monography

Full textAbstract:
Novels with love as a theme often deal with a passionate or forbidden love. In 1925 William Somerset Maugham wrote a different version of the typical love story we have read so many times. It tells a story about a married couple who never really shares the same love for each other. Maugham mentions that he was inspired by Dante when he wrote The Painted Veil. Indeed, he uses different sources of inspirations, such as poems from Shelley and Goldsmith. The aim of this essay is to investigate what these intertextual references bring to the novel and what their functions are. The method I use is looking at the different references used by Maugham and stating their purpose and significance to the novel. The result of my investigation illustrates how the use of Shelley’s theme of veiling signifies hiding, as well as not wanting to see the truth, while Goldsmith’s poem shows the true relationship between the married couple and how corrupted society is. Maugham also lets Dante’s Purgatorio demonstrate how Kitty, the wife, gets the chance to change her life for the better.

L’elaborato espone il contributo apportato in un progetto di miglioramento delle politiche di gestione prodotti, avviato nell’azienda Sherwin Williams, attraverso la revisione del portafoglio.
Nello specifico, l’obiettivo è quello di fornire una razionalizzazione delle politiche di gestione attraverso un’analisi accurata dei dati di vendita e di scorta dell’azienda. Per condurre tale analisi sono stati calcolati i valori di Smoothness Index dei codici esaminati e sono state definite delle metriche di classificazione che hanno permesso di individuare tre differenti famiglie di prodotti in base all’andamento delle scorte. Nel dettaglio, è stato indentificato un cluster di codici caratterizzati da un andamento anomalo delle giacenze, gestiti come make-to-order (MTO) ma con trend riconducibile ad una gestione make-to-stock (MTS). Infine, è stato implementato un tool di supporto, nel linguaggio Excel VBA, che permette di replicare l’analisi ed estenderla a codici con caratteristiche differenti.

Il presente elaborato si propone di illustrare il progetto condotto presso la Sherwin-Williams Company, azienda operante nel settore paint, allo scopo di analizzare le politiche di gestione prodotti e volto alla razionalizzazione delle stesse. L’attività analitica è stata condotta presso lo stabilimento produttivo di Minerbio, nel bolognese, nel periodo compreso tra maggio 2020 e febbraio 2021.
Sul totale del portafoglio prodotti ne è stata selezionata una classe specifica (classe AA), mediante l’implementazione preliminare di analisi che hanno condotto all’individuazione dei codici maggiormente stoccati e maggiormente venduti, in termini di volume e valore.
La suddetta base di dati è stata impiegata per condurre ulteriori analisi concentrate prima sull'osservazione critica dei dati di vendita mediante Smoothness Index, e successivamente sulle politiche di gestione delle scorte, graficandone i relativi andamenti e confrontando i diagrammi dei codici MTO con un grafico standard di riferimento.
A valle delle numerose criticità emerse è stato sviluppato uno studio più approfondito mediante strumenti matematici, appositamente definiti, che hanno permesso di ottenere una segmentazione dei codici in tre sottoclassi.
A supporto dell'azienda è stato inoltre sviluppato un tool applicativo per permettere alla stessa di replicare lo studio condotto anche su una differente base di dati. Successivamente è stato elaborato un modello di razionalizzazione cost-based volto all'individuazione della politica di gestione prodotti ottimale su un totale di tre alternative proposte; i parametri di input del modello sono stati definiti ad hoc sulla base dell'osservazione diretta dei cicli produttivi di polveri e di liquidi.
La struttura matematica definitiva è stata ottenuta per sostituzione inserendo nel modello di riferimento i parametri definiti per attività caratteristiche di setup e stoccaggio individuate a valle di visite in stabilimento.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Retailing is a common modern day phenomenon for which there are many angles of research widely and easily available. Retailing in the context of the global paint and coatings industry however, is a more specified and unique field of study of which resources for research are few. Having had the opportunity of a first-hand close-up inside look into, not only one of the world’s leading paint and coatings companies, but also the global leader in company-owned paint and coatings retailing. This global leader not only led to the origin of my research, but also rekindled the passion within for the global paint and coatings industry and trade. Prior to my employment by PPG, towards the end of 2013, I intentionally embarked on a journey with The Sherwin Williams Company during 2011 to 2013, in collaboration with my current employer at the time, Duraline paints, who afforded me the opportunity only a few people had or ever will.. During the course of four years, I had the opportunity to not only meet a series of wonderful people across the various segments, as well as internal departments of the Sherwin Williams Company globally. Additionally I also had the opportunity to visit the company’s headquarters, 101 Prospector Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, on numerous occasions whilst staying in close proximity for the duration of the training and strategic planning sessions, in preparation to duplicate the SHW in South Africa. During my involvement with The Sherwin Williams Company, it was evident that the backbone of the company’s sales model, was the consistency as well as continuous growth of the Paint Stores Group; which is the leading North American retail segment of SHW. Since 2011, in an effort to establish the best method of implementation of this sales model in South Africa, various concepts were explored from several angles. It became evident that much research was required to establish feasibility of the SHW sales model in South Africa. Preliminary research however, would have had to be conducted of what the SHW sales model entailed and how it would benefit the company in being a global leader, thereby also exploring the possibility of it being an industry best practice as foundation to what was precisely required to be implemented in South Africa, prior to establishing feasibility in South Africa. The preliminary research became the primary and sole focus of this research project, not only fulfilling the research needs as explained above, but also to serve as evidence of what I perceived the SHW company and the Paint Stores Group to be whilst dealing with the company.

Alkormaji, A. "Public quarrelling in the Romantic period : the rhetorical styles of John Burgoyne, Thomas Paine, William Cobbett, and Percy Bysshe Shelley." Thesis, Nottingham Trent University, 2014. http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/27890/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the concept and style of quarrelling in the writings of four British Romantic authors: General John Burgoyne (1722-1792), Thomas Paine (1737-1809), William Cobbett (1763-1835), and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822). All four authors engaged in radical writing about war, politics and various controversial social issues during the American War of Independence and the Regency period (1811-1820). This study situates their political arguments in the historical context and the political discourse of the time. It demonstrates how their style of arguing is particularly aptly described by the term 'quarrelling' because of the combination of personal motives, interests and conflicts with the discussion of larger public problems during this turbulent historical period. I start with a discussion of General Burgoyne’s pamphlets, through which he sought both to justify the political decision of the surrender of British troops at Saratoga and to clear his name of accusations of being personally responsible for losing the war. I compare Burgoyne’s suppression of anger and use of a polite style of arguing to Thomas Paine’s gradual transition from a humble quarrelling approach in his pamphlet The Case of the Officers of Excise to a more openly angry and sarcastic attitude in his later works in support of America’s independence. Paine’s predominantly rational and objective rhetoric is then contrasted to William Cobbett’s cantankerous attitude in his pamphlets, letters and his own newspaper The Political Register, through which he conducted polemical battles blending public issues with personal conflicts. Finally, the thesis compares the rhetorical devices of quarrelling exemplified in the political prose of Burgoyne, Paine and Cobbett to the use of poetry for the purposes of political quarrelling by Shelley. In this wide range of quarrelling attitudes, the thesis outlines the fluctuation between personal emotions, in particular anger, and an objective or polite tone in the written quarrels of each author, as well as between these authors. It thus demonstrates how their stylistic choices were affected by their social positions and circumstances and the different audiences they were addressing. The comparison of these four authors’ methods of combining personal and public arguing aims to give a sense of how quarrels were conducted within the public sphere in the Romantic period.

welton, jessica w. "Fred Kabotie, Elizabeth Willis DeHuff, and the Genesis of the Santa Fe Style." VCU Scholars Compass, 2014. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/3637.
Full textAbstract:
Those scholars who have overlooked the relevance of Fred Kabotie and the Santa Fe Style he developed have missed an important historical segment of early Native American painting. This dissertation underscores the convergence of diverse intellectual, artistic and cultural backgrounds, especially those of Kabotie and Elizabeth Willis DeHuff, his first art teacher, which led to the formation of the Santa Fe Style in 1918. This style was formative for Dorothy Dunn’s later Studio School at the Santa Fe Indian Boarding School.
This first generation of the Santa Fe Style of watercolor painting was empowered by highly educated men and women, who helped to ensure the national recognition Kabotie’s work received. Among Kabotie’s early supporters were Elizabeth Willis and John DeHuff, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Edgar Lee Hewett, Kenneth Chapman, Robert Henri, Maynard Dixon, Marsden Hartley, John Sloan, John Louw Nelson and George Gustav Heye. By uncovering the multiple discourses connecting these individuals with Kabotie and his work, this study develops a basis for analyzing the many perspectives this new style synthesized and advanced. This dissertation positions Kabotie and the Santa Fe Style within these and several larger cultural arenas, including Hopi culture, modern art and Santa Fe intellectuals, thus providing a multistoried dimensionality overlooked in earlier scholarship.
Through evaluating these individuals who informed and empowered the creation of the Santa Fe Style, while carefully considering Kabotie’s response to them in his work, this dissertation initiates a clearer understanding of early twentieth-century cultural and artistic interactions, both locally and nationally. The Santa Fe Style provided a new direction for American Indian art prior to World War II; it initiated a fresh dialogue between the Hopi people and the Anglo government, and it afforded a complex and ongoing conversation for not just Fred Kabotie and his art, but also, through him, the Hopi people. Moreover, it had a profound effect on the development of Southwest Native American painting over the next fifty years.

Full textAbstract:
The present work was performed at Sherwin–Williams Sweden group AB with the objective of comparing short-wavelength light emitting diodes (UVB/UVC) with the conventional mercury arc lamp as a curing method of acrylate-based, UV-paint undergoing free-radical polymerization when exposed to UV-radiation. Due to environmental and health risks, mercury-doped radiation sources will be phased out in the near future, according to the United Nations Minamata convention, hence new alternatives are needed. Light-emitting diodes differ from the mercury arc lamp as they provide semi-discrete output intensity lines within the UV spectrum instead of a broad output distribution with several main intensity lines. The power output is also considerably lower compared to the conventional method which limits the irradiance and dose that are key parameters in activating and propagating free-radical polymerization of UV-paint. Seven different light-emitting diodes between 260–320 nm was examinedand compared to the conventional mercury arc lamp. Cured coatings were evaluated by measuring the relative extent of acrylate conversion with ATR-FTIR and micro-hardness indentation test. Both methods correlate to the relative cross-linking density and qualitatively describe the curing process for each radiant source at a specific irradiance and dose. Three different paint formulations with widely different properties were used in the experiments. All three paints were able to cure with one or several light emitting diodes at comparable doses and 10 to 20 times lower irradiance to the conventional mercury arc lamp, resulting in similar acrylate conversion and hardness.

The focus in this research is to apply painterly visual effect to the stage design for “Midsummer Night''s Dream” by William Shakespeare. The goal is to demonstrate the painterly aesthetics of the stage design by using painting techniques watercolor, color pencil, and pastel, and combining with the mixed media. The methodology in this research includes understanding the biography of the author, case study, script analysis, and background information collection. With those as the basis I carry out the interpretation and creation process, and continuously innovate and experiment during the process. The works include paintings, stage design, model making, and costume design. The scaled model with imaging processing is used to visualize the stage design. I have learned art creation for many years and now work in stage design field in an interdisciplinary way. By this study, I hope to develop a professional artist way to express the emotions and atmosphere of the stage space, and to find my own uniqueness and originality stage design aesthetic.

O propósito desta dissertação consiste em estimar o justo valor de ações da Sherwin-Williams Co (SHW), com referência a 31-12-2021. Para isso foi utilizado o modelo de Discounted Cash Flows (DCF), que permitiu apurar um valor de $276 por ação, face a uma cotação de $307 no dia 03-09-2021. Foi também realizada uma análise comparativa dos múltiplos EV/EBITDA e EV/Vendas a que a SHW e os potenciais peers transacionavam nesse dia, que corroborou o resultado obtido pelo modelo DCF, ou seja, o entendimento de que a ações da SHW se encontravam sobreavaliadas. No entanto, a análise de múltiplos realizada não poderia per se (isto é, sem o suporte de uma análise DCF) suportar uma recomendação de “vender”, na medida em que os peers identificados apresentam diferenças substanciais face à SHW, nomeadamente ao nível do ROIC, taxa de crescimento dos EPS e mix de produtos. De facto, não foi possível encontrar peers plenamente comparáveis à SHW.
Para o mesmo período (31-12-2021), o JP Morgan definiu um price target para as ações da SHW de $310, emitindo, portanto, uma recomendação distinta da desta dissertação. A análise do relatório emitido pelo JP Morgan permitiu identificar as três diferenças principais entre as duas avaliações, que se centram no valor dos cash flows projetados, na taxa de desconto e/ou crescimento perpétuo utilizada, e no tratamento da dívida.The purpose of this dissertation is the valuation of SHW’s equity as of 31-12-2021. The application of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model indicated a fair market value of $276 per share, while the share was trading at $307 on 03-09-2021. A relative valuation was conducted, based on multiples EV/EBITDA and EV/Sales, which also suggested that the market was overestimating the value of SHW’s share. Nevertheless, the relative valuation alone (i.e. without the support of a DCF valuation) could not be used as the basis for a “sell” recommendation, because the identified peers are substantially different from SHW in terms of ROIC, growth rate and product mix. As a matter of fact, it was not possible to identify perfectly comparable peers for SHW. For the same date (31-12-2021), JP Morgen defined a price target of $310 per share. The analysis of JP Morgan’s valuation report led to the identification of three major differences when compared to the valuation included in this dissertation. Such differences consist of different projected cash flows, different discount rate and/or perpetual growth rate, and different treatment of debt.

Full textAbstract:
This Diploma thesis focuses on the investigation of impact of French Revolution into the development of political views of three Englishmen who represent three levels of view of revolutionary events: idealistic, radical and critical. Helen Maria Williams (1761-1827) represents an idealistic school of thought especially within the idea on universal citizenship and messianism of French Revolution. Simultaneously, she also represents some opinions of female population and their expectations relating to the status of women. Thomas Paine (1737-1809), a member of Convention and a supporter of the Girondists is an example of a radical religious view. The last of the trio is a physiocrat and a writer Arthur Young (1741-1820) who visited France before the Revolution. He became a witness and also a critic of the early revolutionary events. Key Words Helen Maria Williams, Thomas Paine, Arthur Youn, The French Revolution.
