Повний текст джерелаIn the essay “William Kennedy’s Ironweed: Francis Phelan’s Purgatorial Journey Back Home” I intend to show that William Kennedy has borrowed his narrative structure and symbolic language in the novel Ironweed from The Divine Comedy. I will also try to show how William Kennedy has used these allusions to enhance the imagery of Ironweed and the protagonist Francis Phelan’s wandering through the novel, and his return home. To accomplish this I will present a detailed comparative analysis of William Kennedy’s Ironweed and Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy.
I will begin by showing that Kennedy establishes the protagonist Francis Phelan as a Dante-like figure and a sinner who needs to go through purgatory to redeem himself. Moreover, Kennedy uses Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy’s landscape to enhance the imagery of a journey back home, and by showing that each chapter represents a different level on Mount Purgatory Kennedy makes Albany a symbol of the mountain itself. Details such as the mentioning of the seven deadly sins are also there to make the reader think of Dante and thereby reinforcing the image of The Divine Comedy’s landscape in Francis Phelan’s New York, Albany.
I also demonstrate that Kennedy borrows his symbolic structure from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. For example, the intricate ending of Ironweed where several parallels can be drawn to Purgatory and Paradise reinforces the impression of Francis Phelan’s happiness, that is, a reader who is familiar with The Divine Comedy will appreciate and understand Francis Phelan’s happiness and the journey he has accomplished even more.

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction: Outsourcing as a phenomenon has recently gained a lot of attention and is by some even considered as a trend. Traditionally, the functions to outsource have often been activities like computer operations or production with the purpose to cut costs or util-ize on resources not available in-house. The issues of outsourcing are however increasing, making the insight of the sources of competitive advantage and core competences more important than ever. With the rising amount of outsourced functions in firms of today, more and more outsourcing projects tend to end up with poor results. The combination of suppliers failing to live up to the standards set and an increased pressure of cost savings and quality improvements from customers is becoming untenable for many companies. As a result, large efforts are put into coordination and training and some companies even break their outsourcing agreement to either turn to another supplier or bring the function back in-house. Motives for bringing an outsourced function back in-house are often con-cerned with issues of quality and control.
Purpose: The purpose is to determine whether backsourcing is merely a tool to correct implications of unsuccessful outsourcing agreements or if there are other underlying mo-tives to the process.
Method: The study has been conducted according to the qualitative research approach. Empirical data has been collected through personal semi-structured interviews with repre-sentatives from three different companies that recently have backsourced a business func-tion. The empirical data have been analyzed in the light of relevant theories concerning outsourcing and backsourcing.
Analysis: The analysis indicates on both differences and similarities of motives for, and implications due to outsourcing among the investigated companies. The same is evident for the backsourcing of the specific functions.
Conclusions: From the analyzed data, conclusions can be drawn that all the companies suffered from implications from their respective outsourcing agreements and used back-sourcing to compensate for these. However, the process has, in some cases, increased knowledge and made the function perform better once taken back in-house.
Inledning: Outsourcing som fenomen har under den senaste tiden fått stor uppmärksam-het och anses även i vissa sammanhang som en trend. Funktioner för outsourcing har tra-ditionellt sett varit aktiviteter som datahantering och produktion med syftet att minska kostnader och få tillgång till resurser ej tillgängliga internt. Outsourcings ökande betydelse och komplexitet gör att företags förståelse för sina källor till konkurrensfördelar och kärn-verksamheter är viktigare än någonsin. Samtidigt som fler aktiviteter outsourcas i företag, påvisar allt fler outsourcingavtal på dåliga resultat. Kombinationen av leverantörer som misslyckas leva upp till förbestämda standarder och ett ökat kundtryck gällande kostnads-besparingar och kvalitetsbesparingar blir ohållbar för många företag. Detta resulterar i stora satsningar på koordinering och utbildning. Vissa företag till och med bryter sina outsour-cingavtal för att vända sig till en annan leverantör eller tar tillbaka funktionen internt. Ofta är motiven för att ta tillbaka en funktion internt förknippade med kvalitets- och kontroll-frågor.
Syfte: Syftet är att avgöra huruvida backsourcing endast är ett verktyg för att korrigera konsekvenser av ett misslyckat outsourcingavtal eller om det finns andra bakomliggande orsaker till processen.
Metod: Studien har genomförts i enlighet med kvalitativ metod. Empirisk data har insam-lats genom personliga, semikonstruerade intervjuer med representanter från tre olika före-tag som nyligen har backsourcat en företagsfunktion. Den empiriska datan har analyserats i ljuset av relevant teori gällande outsourcing och insourcing.
Analys: Analysen påvisar skillnader och likheter av motiv och implikationer mellan företa-gen både gällande dess outsourcing och dess backsourcing.
Slutsats: Från den analyserade datan kan man dra slutsatsen att samtliga företag led av problem från dess respektive outsourcingkontrakt och att backsourcing användes för att åtgärda detta. Processen har emellertid i vissa fall ökat kunskapen förbättrat funktionen efter det att den har tagits hem.

Повний текст джерелаExploration of Titan is one of the primary objectives of the Cassini/Huygens mission Saturn due to launch in 1997. Limited data will be provided by Huygens as it descends to the surface via parachute and by Cassini as it orbits Saturn and occasionally passes near Titan. Interest in Titan is high because of its planet-class size, dense atmosphere, and the possibility of continents and seas. Already, there are discussions for a follow-on mission to Titan. There are several proposed designs such as balloons and boats to explore Titan's ethane seas. In all cases, reliable data links back to Earth are absolutely essential. However, simply increasing the power has its limits due to constraints on launch weights. There are a number of possible options for getting data back from Titan. These alternatives, and their effect on the mission profile are discussed.

Повний текст джерелаEthiopia has long been affected by the out flow of its educated citizens. In major host countries, like the United States, the Ethiopian diaspora constitutes a considerable number of highly educated professionals, including those who work in academic and research institutions. Meanwhile, the fast-growing Ethiopian higher education severely suffers from lack of highly qualified faculty. In recent years members of the Ethiopian academic diaspora have been engaged in various initiatives towards supporting the emerging Ethiopian higher education. Yet, these initiatives have been fragmented, individually carried out, and challenged by the lack of a systemic approach, among other things. Further, there are only few studies examining diaspora engagement in the Ethiopian context, much less specific to higher education. The purpose of this research is, therefore, to offer deeper insight into the formation and implementation of transnational engagement initiatives by the Ethiopian academic diaspora. The research explores the motivation for and the modalities of engagement, as well as the enabling and challenging factors. This study employs phenomenological approach and Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice as a lens to analyze data from in-depth interviews with 16 Ethiopian diaspora academics in the US. The research departs from previous works by examining the issues from the perspectives of those who have first-hand experience of the phenomenon. Its findings reveal that transnational engagement among academic diaspora is shaped by complex and multi-layer personal, institutional and broader environmental factors, which transcend common considerations in addressing brain drain

Повний текст джерелаHistorically the research of International Business and the internationalisation of companies have been concentrated to large, mature companies with extensive resources to deploy in new markets. Since the 90’s a big field of research has though been on so called born globals, or international new ventures. In this thesis I will take up where this research is today and I will deal with the issue of new entrepreneurial ventures that internationalise from a very early stage of their existence From the theory five factors are retracted; 1) The Entrepreneur; 2) Identified Opportunities; 3) Entry/ Establishing mode; 4) Deployed Resources and 5) Local Challenges and from this the theoretical model is created. The following empirical study is made on Swedish entrepreneurs that have established in China during the last decade and the model seeks to answer why and how the entrepreneur established in China. The model is constructed to be usable for research on entrepreneurs from any market entering any other market. This specific study on Swedish entrepreneur in China merely fills the function of illustrating the use of the model, as the sample is too small to generalize.

Повний текст джерелаHomer's Odyssey is a foundational work for the western cultural and literary tradition. It has been translated into English many times over, which reflects a certain enduring relevance of the work and its characters. This thesis examines twelve or so English translations of the Odyssey, from those of Alexander Pope and George Chapman to the modern works of Robert Fagles and Robert Fitzgerald, in their interpretations of specific moments where the hero interacts with Nausikaa, Kalypso, Athena, and Penélopê. Traditionally, although the women of the Odyssey are considered to be active and relevant to Odysseus' journey, they also pose considerable danger to his quest for Ithaka. However, by juxtaposing and comparing various translations from different time periods, we enrich our understanding of the astounding agency these women demonstrate in facilitating the hero's return. As opposed to mere tools that Odysseus utilizes as a means to an end, these women actively interfere in his journey to ensure his safety and bring to fruition the ultimate goal of restoring order on Ithaka

As part of Phase III of the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank program, drogued drifters and dye tracer were released into the pycnocline on the southern flank of Georges Bank to measure advective and diffusive transport relative to the tidal mixing front in May 1999. Potential density measurements placed the tidal mixing front around the 50-55 m isobath on the southern flank. Drogued drifter movement relative to the front was on the order of the drifter's slip velocity and therefore did not support the existence of a mean, advective flow. No movement relative to the front of the dye patch center of mass also indicated a lack of advective flow. Diffusive transport did occur as the dye patch spread laterally both toward and away from the front much as would be predicted by the diffusion relationship of Okubo (1971), who summarized diffusion experiments in the surface ocean. The dye did not spread symmetrically, but was rather elongated along the isobaths. This can be attributed to vertical shear in the along-isobath current that was measured by the shipboard ADCP.

Повний текст джерелаIncludes bibliographical references.
Systematic differences in trace element compositions (rare earth element (REE), heavy metal, metalloid concentrations) of seafloor vent fluids and related deposits from hydrothermal systems in the Manus back-arc basin (Eastern Manus Basin, EMB and Manus Spreading Center, MSC) are used to investigate processes that affect their formation. Processes responsible for observed differences in fluids and deposits from distinct geologic settings include (a) fluid-rock interaction (with temperature, pressure and crustal composition as variables), (b) magmatic acid volatile input and, (c) local seawater entrainment and mixing with hydrothermal fluids, coupled with sulfide precipitation and metal remobilization. REE distributions in vent fluids in the Manus Basin exhibit a wide range of chondrite-normalized patterns that contrast with the relatively uniform distributions observed in mid-ocean ridge vent fluids. This heterogeneity is attributed to marked differences in fluid pH and fluoride and sulfate concentrations that significantly affect REE solubility. The data indicate that REEs can be used as indicators of the styles of magmatic acid volatile input in back-arc hydrothermal systems. Anhydrite in deposits record the same range of REE patterns, suggesting that REE distributions preserved in anhydrite can be used as indicators of past magmatic acid volatile input. Vent fluid heavy metal and metalloid concentrations also exhibit considerable differences. High metal concentrations in EMB versus MSC vent fluids reflect low pH, largely from input of magmatic acid volatiles (indicated by fluoride concentrations greater than seawater). In EMB, metal concentrations are locally affected by dissolution of previously deposited sulfide owing to low pH conditions affected by magmatic acid volatile input or seawater entrainment and mixing with hydrothermal fluid that leads to sulfide precipitation and secondary acidity generation.
(cont.) Massive sulfide deposits in the Manus Basin exhibit a wide range of mineral compositions and heavy metal enrichments. The formation of Zn-rich (sphalerite/wurtzite) deposits in the MSC and of Cu-Fe and Cu-As-rich (chalcopyrite, tennantite) deposits in the EMB reflects differences in the conditions of sulfide precipitation (temperature, pH) and in metal concentrations. The data suggest that heavy metal and metalloid distributions in massive sulfide deposits can be used as indicators of the conditions of vent deposit formation.

Повний текст джерелаThe goal of this dissertation is to shed some light on three separate aspects of the financial system that can lead to greater instability in the banking sector and greater macroeconomic volatility. The starting point of the Great Recession was the collapse of the banking sector in late 2007; in the subsequent months, liquidity evaporated in many markets for short term funding. The process of creating liquidity carried out by the banking system involves the transformation of long term illiquid assets into short term liquid liabilities. This engine functions properly as long as cash lenders continue to roll over short term funding to banks; whenever these lenders fear that banks will not be able to pay back these obligations, they immediately stop funding banks' short term liabilities. This makes banks unable to repay maturing short term debt, which leads to large spikes in default risk. This is often referred to as a modern bank run. Virtually all the theories of bank runs suggest that the severity of a run depends on how well lenders can coordinate their beliefs: whenever a lender expects many others to run, he becomes more likely to run as well. In a joint work with Emanuele Brancati, the first chapter of my dissertation, we empirically document the role of coordination in explaining bank runs and default risk. We establish two new results. First, when information is more precise and agents can better coordinate their actions, a change in market expectations has a larger impact on default risk; this implies that more precise information increases the vulnerability or instability of the banking system. This result has a clear policy implication: if policymakers want to stabilize the banking system they should promote opacity instead of transparency, especially during periods of financial turmoil. Second, we show that when a bank is expected to perform poorly, lower dispersion of beliefs actually increases default risk; this result is in contrast with standard theories in finance and can be rationalized by thinking about the impact that more precise information has on the ability of creditors to coordinate on a bank run. Another aspect of the banking system that is creating a lot of instability in Europe is the so called "disastrous banks-sovereign nexus": many banks in troubled countries owned a disproportionately large amount of domestic sovereign bonds; therefore, in case of a default of the sovereign country, the whole domestic banking sector would incur insurmountable losses. This behavior is puzzling because these banks in troubled countries would greatly benefit from having a more diversified asset portfolio, but instead decide to load up with domestic sovereign debt only. In a joint work with Filippo De Marco, the second chapter of my dissertation, we show that banks receive political pressures from their respective governments to load up on domestic sovereigns. First, we show that banks with a larger fraction of politicians as shareholders display greater home bias. More importantly, we exploit the fact that low-performing banks received liquidity injections by their domestic governments to show that, among those banks, only the "political banks" drastically increased their home bias upon receiving government help. Furthermore, it appears that the extent of political pressure on banks is much stronger on those "political banks" belonging to troubled countries. These findings suggest that troubled countries that would need to pay a high premium to issue new debt force their "political banks" to purchase part of the debt issuance. This greater risk-synchronization can create a dangerous loop of higher sovereign default risk leading to insolvency of the domestic banking system, which in turn would require a bail-out from the local government, further exacerbating the sovereign de- fault risk. Finally, the third chapter of my dissertation, a joint work with Susanto Basu, investigates the sources of excess consumption volatility in emerging markets. It is a well documented fact that, in emerging markets, consumption is more volatile than output whereas the opposite is true in developed economies. We propose an explanation for this phenomenon that relies on a specific form of financial markets incompleteness: we assume that households would always want to front-load consumption and they can borrow from abroad up to a fraction of the value of posted collateral. With the value of collateral being procyclical, households are able to increase borrowing during an expansion and ultimately consume more than they produce; this mechanism is then able to generate a ratio of consumption volatility to output volatility grater than one. Most importantly, the model delivers the implication that a better ability to borrow vis-a-vis the same value of collateral generates greater relative consumption volatility. We then bring this model's implication to the data and find empirical support for it. We proxy the ability to borrow with various measures of effectiveness of lending regulation and more standard indicators of financial development. Consistent with the model's implication, more lending friendly regulation leads to greater relative consumption volatility in emerging markets; moreover, this link breaks down among developed countries. In addition, among emerging countries, it appears that deeper domestic capital markets have a destabilizing effect in terms of greater relative consumption volatility while a more developed domestic banking system does not exerts any such detrimental effect

The thesis investigates the circulation at a 76-m deep study site on the southern flank of Georges Bank, a shallow submarine bank located between the deeper Gulf of Maine and the continental slope. Emphasis is placed on the vertical structure of the bottom boundary layer driven by the semidiurnal tides and the flow field's response to wind forcing. The observational analysis presented here is based on a combination of moored array and bottom tripod-mounted current, temperature, conductivity, and meteorological data taken between February and August 1995. Results from the bottom boundary layer analysis are compared to numerical model predictions for tidal flow over rough bottom topography. The flow response to wind forcing is examined and brought into context with the existing understanding of the wind-induced circulation in the Georges Bank region. Particular attention is given to the vertical distribution of the wind-driven currents, whose variation with background stratification is discussed and compared to observations from open ocean studies.

For a long time, studies related to managers had been limited, partly, due to the reputation of representatives and defenders of the corporation`s best interests, which they had for society. Recently, with productive restructuration, the management category, once preserved, reaches the position of victim of instability and of work intensification. This situation is particularly evident in managers that work with the financial sector, that due to its high competition, specific of this sector, are submitted to a constant dose of pressure for results. These considerations have motivated the present research, that has as its main goal to analyze the relationship between the work and health of managers from public and private banks, situated in the city of João Pessoa PB, and as specific goals to identify the procedures for insertion into workforce and professional graduation into management career; investigate the content and peculiarities specific of a management position; specify the conditions and work organization for bank managers; identify the sources of suffering/ pleasure at work, as well as the dynamics of notoriety; analyze the procedures adopted to mature the managers into the relationship between work and private life; describe the process health-disease in managers, in relation to their activity. The theoretical basis of this study gathers contributions from Ergology; Work Psychodynamics; Ergonomy of Activity and Clinics of Activity. As for the Method, with predilection to semi-structured interviews, focusing on the interest to access experiences, singularities and perspectives from bank managers in relation to their work. Sixteen main managers and intermediate managers from public and private banks in João Pessoa have collaborated to this research. Data analysis has been conducted throughout thematic content analysis. Considering what should be mentioned as Results, we identified that the goal management regulates the activity of managers daily and for some the deadlines can be suffocating. As sources of suffering, managers point out lack of appraisal from superiors and society; bad relationship with work colleagues/ team; discharges and consequences from Work Organization (labor hours, pressure for results, decisions without autonomy and system failures). As main sources of pleasure in management positions, they mentioned the appraisal from the work colleagues, clients and society; and the wages. In this panorama of difficulties, contradictions and surprises, the pairs show up as an important learning instrument and tutorship, with the exchange of their practical knowledge. About health, we identified that the main symptom related to management work would be Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, spinal cord stress, Gastrointestinal (GI) problems, (ulcers, gastritis, lack of appetite), high cholesterol, eyesight problems and dermatitis, and also psychic syndromes: anxiety, irritability, sleep changes (insomnia and nightmares with work), depression, tension, stress and lack of concentration. Another element raised up in this research was risk related to financial operations as well as the risk to personal security (kidnapping and robbery); what results in insecurity to managers and their families. We observed also that, in many cases, there`s a negative influence of work in family relationship, due to the fact that managers deal with a huge load of work and responsibility, which always brings them back home tired and preoccupied. Nonetheless, the feeling of having to be available anytime results in leaving the family as second best.
Por muito tempo, os estudos relativos aos gerentes foram interditados, em parte, devido à imagem de representantes e defensores dos interesses das organizações que os mesmos possuíam perante a sociedade. Atualmente, com a reestruturação produtiva, a categoria gerencial, antes preservada, passa a ser alvo da instabilidade e da intensificação do trabalho. Tal situação é particularmente evidente no caso dos gerentes do setor financeiro, que, devido à concorrência acirrada que caracteriza esse setor, são submetidos a uma pressão constante por resultados. Tais considerações motivaram o presente estudo, que tem como objetivo geral analisar a relação entre o trabalho e a saúde de gerentes de bancos públicos e privados, da cidade de João Pessoa (Pb) e como objetivos específicos identificar as formas de inserção e de formação profissional na carreira gerencial; investigar o conteúdo e as especificidades do trabalho gerencial; delinear as condições e a organização do trabalho dos gerentes de banco; identificar as fontes de sofrimento/ prazer no trabalho, bem como a dinâmica do reconhecimento; analisar os modos de gestão adotados pelos gerentes na relação trabalho e vida privada; e descrever os processos saúde doença dos gerentes, relacionando-os com sua atividade. O aporte teórico desse estudo reúne contribuições oriundas da Ergologia; Psicodinâmica do Trabalho; Ergonomia da Atividade e Clínica da Atividade. Quanto ao Método, privilegiou-se a entrevista semi-estruturada, tendo em vista o interesse em acessar as vivências, singularidades e perspectivas dos gerentes de banco em relação ao seu trabalho. Participaram desta pesquisa 16 gerentes de bancos públicos e privados da cidade de João Pessoa, que ocupavam gerências gerais e intermediárias. A análise dos dados foi conduzida através da análise de conteúdo temática. No que se refere aos Resultados, identificamos que a gestão por metas regula a atividade dos gerentes diariamente e, para alguns deles, esse monitoramento de prazos e resultados chega a ser sufocante. Os gerentes apontaram também como fontes de sofrimento a falta de reconhecimento por parte dos superiores e da sociedade; o relacionamento ruim com os pares e/ ou equipe; as demissões e aspectos decorrentes da Organização de Trabalho (jornada de trabalho, pressão por resultados, decisões sobre as quais não se tem autonomia e falhas no sistema do banco). Como principais fontes de prazer no trabalho gerencial, eles ressaltaram o reconhecimento por parte dos pares, dos clientes e da sociedade; e o salário. Nesse contexto de dificuldades, contradições e imprevistos, os pares surgem como instrumento valioso de aprendizado e tutoria, por meio da troca de seus saberes práticos. Sobre a saúde, identificamos que os principais sintomas relacionados ao trabalho gerencial foram a LER (Lesão por esforço repetitivo), a síndrome do túnel de carpo, problemas de coluna, problemas gastrintestinais (úlcera, gastrite, falta de apetite), colesterol alto, problemas na visão e dermatite, além dos sintomas psíquicos: nervosismo, irritabilidade, alterações do sono (insônia e pesadelos com o trabalho), depressão, tensão, estresse e dificuldade de concentração. Outro elemento de destaque nas entrevistas foi o risco, tanto no que se refere às operações financeiras, quanto relativo à segurança pessoal (riscos de assalto e seqüestro); o que resulta em insegurança para os gerentes e seus familiares. Observamos ainda que, em muitas situações, há uma influência negativa do trabalho nas relações familiares, visto que os gerentes lidam com uma carga de trabalho e uma responsabilidade muito grandes, o que faz com que cheguem em casa sempre preocupados e cansados. Além do mais, o sentimento de que devem estar sempre disponíveis para a empresa faz com que deixem sua família em segundo plano.
