Petit essai d'analyse généalogique : 200 Motels de Frank Zappa (1971)
2018
International audience; Dans cet article, je me propose d'analyser le film" 200 Motels" (1971) de Frank Zappa à partir de deux généalogies. Tout d'abord, les spectacles et les formes de divertissements qui sont apparus en Amérique du Nord au 19e et au début du 20e siècle. Ensuite, le cinéma musical hollywoodien de 1929 à 1960. Après avoir sommairement présenté ces deux corpus, je m'efforcerai de penser le film de Zappa à l'aune de ces deux mondes et de certaines de leurs caractéristiques. Je conclurai par une réflexion à propos des méthodes d'analyses que l'on peut mobiliser pour aborder un film musical et le répertoire rock.
Crystal growth and characterization of Zn1-xMgxO advanced micro- and nanostructures
2018
Dentro de la creciente área de investigación de la física de semiconductores, los pertenecientes a la familia II-VI se han convertido en un campo fundamental de la física de materiales debido a que sus propiedades fotofísicas son únicas para crear una nueva generación de dispositivos en el campo de la fotónica y la microelectrónica. Entre ellos, los semiconductores basados en ZnO han ganado un considerable interés en la comunidad científica en parte debido a su alta energía de enlace del excitón (60 meV) la cual es 2.4 veces más alta que la energía térmica a temperatura ambiente. Este hecho puede dar lugar a emisión laser excitónica a temperaturas incluso mayores que la ambiente. Además, gr…

2018
Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid ME504 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Queer in drug treatment has been slightly described in research. In this master's thesis, I want to answer this; "How does the queer patient feel they are treated in drug treatment, and how can their description contribute to the further development of health-promoting work in this arena?" I have used a qualitative approach to analyse this issue. Originally, it was desirable to receive stories from informants that had been admitted to drug treatment during the last two years. This did not work. So I interviewed informants about the subject. I did not consider this selection as big enough to make a valid analysis of collect…
Giacomo Puccini y Japón. Un estudio de las interrelaciones culturales y musicales a través de Madama Butterfly
2018
Madama Butterfly desarrolla su acción en Japón en los albores del siglo XX, cuando en Occidente el japonismo está en pleno auge. Este fenómeno viene definido por la captación y recepción de lo japonés en la cultura occidental, en especial desde mediados del siglo XIX, hasta la década de los años 30 del siglo XX. El japonismo se va a reflejar en numerosas manifestaciones culturales occidentales, encontrándose entre ellas las artes escénicas, donde lo japonés fue ante todo un escenario exótico y un llamativo vestuario, y además, en la ópera se añadía el color musical de aquellas tierras lejanas. El drama musical de Puccini, Madama Butterfly, destacará al mismo tiempo por incluir toda una seri…
Measuring Uncertainty in the Portfolio Selection Problem
2018
In this paper, we propose a new index for ranking portfolios based on the credibility expected return and loss on their investment. We assume that the return on a given portfolio is modeled as a trapezoidal fuzzy variable, whose credibility distribution is built using the data set of its historical returns. The credibilistic loss on the investment for a given portfolio is measured by means of a suitable loss function. In order to take risk-adverse investor attitudes into account, we analyze the performance of some credibility measures related to loss and risk on the investment for a given portfolio and their relationship with similar possibility measures. A numerical example is presented sh…

The Intensification of Work
2018
Work intensity has become an increasingly vital concept in understanding current changes in the employment sector, and why these changes have detrimental implications for the well-being of employees and their families. Objective measures, such as allocation or length of work hours, do not necessarily catch the tempo of work during the time spent at work. Nor are the hours an appropriate indicator of the level of mental effort and strain in and even outside of (official) work (hours). This chapter discusses the various change processes in the economy and work life that have led to the intensification of work. The chapter’s aim is also to describe how these change processes pose varying chall…

The endocannabinoid-alcohol crosstalk: Recent advances on a bi-faceted target
2018
Increasing evidence has focusesed on the endocannabinoid system as a relevant player in the induction of aberrant synaptic plasticity and related addictive phenotype following chronic excessive alcohol drinking. In addition, the endocannabinoid system is implicated in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease. Interestingly, whereas the involvement of CB1 receptors in alcohol rewarding properties is established, the central and peripheral action of CB2 signalling is still to be elucidated. This review aims at giving the input to deepen knowledge on the role of the endocannabinoid system, highlighting the advancing evidence that suggests that CB1 and CB2 receptors may play opposite roles i…

Effect of resource availability on evolution of virulence and competition in an environmentally transmitted pathogen
2018
Understanding ecological and epidemiological factors driving pathogen evolution in contemporary time scales is a major challenge in modern health management. Pathogens that replicate outside the hosts are subject to selection imposed by ambient environmental conditions. Increased nutrient levels could increase pathogen virulence by pre-adapting for efficient use of resources upon contact to a nutrient rich host or by favouring transmission of fast-growing virulent strains. We measured changes in virulence and competition in Flavobacterium columnare, a bacterial pathogen of freshwater fish, under high and low nutrient levels. To test competition between strains in genotype mixtures, we devel…
Conversion rate determinants in e-commerce websites. What about moderation effects?
2018
Online retailers invest significant resource to improve conversion rates, defined as the proportion of website visitors that make a purchase. Using 1,184 observations from six e-commerce websites, this paper aims to analyse conversion rate determinants, also considering moderation effects of seasonality and webpage speed of load. Results show that free shipping and discounts policy have a positive effect on the conversion rate, moderated by seasonality and load speed. These finding could be useful guidelines for e-commerce managers in order to allocate their limited resources to the most relevant factor to increase online sales.
Social Space for Self-Organising: An Exploratory Study of Timebanks in Finland and in the UK
2018
The article examines the challenges to self-organisation and upscaling of alternative economies from the viewpoint of defending and negotiating social space. Timebanks in Finland and the UK are presented as examples, analysing the difference of defending such social space in the contexts of a traditional welfare state (in the case of Finland) and an austerity-driven government with a “Big Society” ideology (in the case of UK). Both systems of government present different kinds of pressures on timebanks, pushing them to a given ontological categories and to action in accordance with pre-defined political goals. This difference, along with timebank reactions and the question of prospects of o…
Porphyrin Antenna-Enriched BODIPY–Thiophene Copolymer for Efficient Solar Cells
2018
International audience; Low bandgap A−π–D copolymer, P(BdP-DEHT), consisting of alternating BOronDIPYrromethene (BODIPY) and thiophene units bridged by ethynyl linkers, and its porphyrin-enriched analogue, P(BdP/Por-DEHT), were prepared, and their optical and electrochemical properties were studied. P(BdP-DEHT) exhibits strong absorption in the 500–800 nm range with an optical bandgap of 1.74 eV. On the basis of cyclic voltammetry, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels are evaluated to be −5.40 and −3.66 eV, respectively. After the anchoring of zinc(II) porphyrin on the BODIPY unit, P(BdP/Por-DEHT) displays broadened absor…
The tangled cases of Deinogalerix (Late Miocene endemic erinaceid of Gargano) and Galericini (Eulipotyphla, Erinaceidae): a cladistic perspective.
2018
The Late Miocene giant erinaceid Deinogalerix from Scontrone and Gargano (Italy) is associated with many other vertebrates in deposits of a past island, the “Abruzzo-Apulia Platform”. At Gargano, Deinogalerix is accompanied by the moderately endemized Galericini Apulogalerix. This first extensive cladistic analysis is aimed at defining the relationships of Deinogalerix with characteristic members of the tribe Galericini. The analysis was performed on a matrix of 30 characters and 19 taxa and identified some smaller clades, nested within three major ones. The latter include: (i) a pentatomy of Galerix species, (ii) a polytomy of “transitional” Galerix–Parasorex species and (iii) a large clad…
Understanding the scaling-up of community energy niches through Strategic Niche Management Theory: insights from Finland
2018
The growing phenomenon of civil society involvement in renewable energy generation has attracted researchers’ interest. However, rather little is known of how a diverse and relatively small sector such as community energy could scale up and promote a change in energy production. We examine this issue through the lens of Strategic Niche Management (SNM) and conceptualize community energy as a socio-technical niche that holds the potential to promote a transition to renewable energy. Drawing on interview data with members of community energy projects and experts in Finland, we identify different types of community energy projects and the factors that may prevent them from scaling up. The stud…
MAB2.0 project: Integrating algae production into wastewater treatment
2018
Abstract Different species of microalgae are highly efficient in removing nutrients from wastewater streams and are able to grow using flue gas as a CO2 source. These features indicate that application of microalgae has a promising outlook in wastewater treatment. However, practical aspects and process of integration of algae cultivation into an existing wastewater treatment line have not been investigated. The Climate-KIC co-funded Microalgae Biorefinery 2.0 project developed and demonstrated this integration process through a case study. The purpose of this paper is to introduce this process by phases and protocols, as well as report on the challenges and bottlenecks identified in the cas…
Decay, Disease and Death in Doris Lessing's "The Grass Is Singing": A Feminist Perspective
2018
The article analyses Lessing’s first and highly acclaimed novel of 1950, whose action is set in Southern Rhodesia in the 1940s (the country remained British self-governing colony until 1980). Its interpretation from the feminist and gender perspectives, which also involves issues of race and class, is closely related to the themesof decay, disease and death. The process of identity formation of the heroine appears to be the case of social constructionism, for it is completed on her spouse’s farm where Mary comes to live with the man who proves to be inadequate as a husband and farmer, and ultimately as a representative of the white race. The major causes of the gradual collapse and tragic e…

"Na podobieństwo zwierciadła". O sposobie perswazji w parenezie Fabiana Birkowskiego
2018
This article is part of the research on the Old Polish sermons, in particular on the role the Dominican Friars played as heralds of God’s word. The analysis concerns selected texts by Fabian Birkowski, who was the leading preacher – just after Piotr Skarga – in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The key to defining the method of persuasion used by Birkowski is the principle of similarity, as this Dominican orator employed the emblematic figure of speech in the form of mirror, making use of it especially in order to create mirror metaphors. The main goal which Birkowski aimed at in performing his pastoral duties was to teach “how to see and not to forget”. Therefore, the mirror was supposed…

2018
Tutkielma käsittelee Hyvin menee! 1 – suomea aikuisille -oppikirjan keskustelutehtäviä ja niiden roolia suomen kielen oppimisen tukena. Tarkoitus on tutkia, millaisia keskustelun ja vuorovaikutuksen mahdollisuuksia tehtävien kautta tarjoutuu ja millä tavoin keskustelutehtävät tukevat ja mahdollistavat suomen kielen muotojen, merkitysten ja käyttötapojen oppimista. Täysin vastaavaa tutkimusta S2-oppikirjojen keskustelutehtävistä ei ole aiemmin tehty, joten tämä tutkimus täydentää aiempia S2-oppikirjojen dialogeja tarkastelleiden tutkimusten tuloksia. Tutkimuskysymykseni ovat: 1. Millaisia keskustelun ja vuorovaikutuksen mahdollisuuksia keskustelutehtävät tarjoavat? 2. Millä tavoin keskustelu…
Second-generation immigrants and factors that create challenges to enter Finnish labour market
2018
The aims of this study are to find out the most key factors that have negatively influenced second-generation immigrants with different foreign origins and ethnicities in their quest for job opportunities in the Finnish labour market. This study was done through qualitative research methods, which consisted of 15 second-generation immigrants, aged 18-35. These immigrants were divided into three main groups, which included European, Asian, and those of African backgrounds. This was to examine the role of ethnic aspects and to analyse the level of discrimination on different bases. The study was done through depth semi-structured face-to-face interviews. The questions which I asked the parti…
Miten torjua verkkovihaa sosiaalisessa mediassa?
2018
Keskustelu nettikiusaamisesta ja verkkovihan leviämisestä on tuskin jäänyt keneltäkään huomaamatta. Yhdessä nuorten aktiivisen sosiaalisen median käytön kanssa asiaton verkkokäyttäytyminen haastaa mediakasvatusta. Nuoret ovat itsekin tietoisia ongelmista: erityisesti nettikäyttäytymiseen ja -turvallisuuteen toivotaan käytännönläheistä opastusta koulusta tai kotoa. Millaisia konkreettisia vinkkejä nuorille voisi antaa asiattoman verkkosisällön ja -käyttäytymisen torjumiseen? nonPeerReviewed
Plyometrisen ja konsentrisen nopeusvoimaharjoittelun vaikutukset lihasjännekompleksin toimintaan ja rakenteeseen
2018
Voimaharjoittelulla on mahdollista saada muutoksia hermolihasjärjestelmän toimintaan ja rakenteeseen. Toistaiseksi on olemassa vähän tutkittua tietoa plyometrisen nopeusvoimaharjoittelun vaikutuksista lihasjännekompleksin toimintaan ja rakenteeseen. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli määrittää plyometrisen ja konsentrisen nopeusvoimaharjoittelun vaikutuksia lihasjännekompleksin toimintaan ja rakenteeseen 12 viikon harjoittelun aikana. Tutkimukseen osallistui 12 20-30 –vuotiasta tervettä miestä, jotka jaettiin kahteen ryhmään (konsentrinen; CON ja plyometrinen; SSC). CON ryhmä suoritti harjoittelun paineilmalaitteilla ja SSC ryhmä hyppyharjoitteluna kelkkaergometrissä. Molemmat ryhmät harjoitteli…
What drives future business leaders? How work values and gender shape young adults' entrepreneurial and leadership aspirations
2018
Who wants to become a business leader? We investigated whether young adults' work values (i.e., the importance placed on different job characteristics and rewards) predict their entrepreneurial aspirations (i.e., the intention to create a venture) and leadership aspirations (i.e., the intention to become a leader in a business context). Furthermore, we illuminated whether gender differences in work values contribute to the pervasive gender gap in these aspirations. Analyses in a sample of young adults from Finland (N = 1138) revealed that a higher importance placed on extrinsic rewards and a lower importance placed on security at age 21 predicted higher entrepreneurial and leadership aspira…
Koulun ilmapiiritekijöiden yhteys opettaja-oppilassuhteisiin ja oppilaiden kouluun kiinnittymiseen
2018
Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin koulun ilmapiiritekijöiden yhteyttä opettaja-oppilassuhteisiin ja oppilaiden kouluun kiinnittymiseen. Tutkimuksen ensimmäisessä vaiheessa selvitettiin opettajien arvioimien koulun toiminnallisten ilmapiiritekijöiden (yhteistyö, päätöksenteko, opetuksen innovatiivisuus ja koulun resurssit) yhteyttä opettaja-oppilassuhteisiin, joka kuvaa opettajien arviota henkilökunnan ja oppilaiden suhteiden myönteisyydestä (missä määrin koulun oppilaat suhtautuivat heihin arvostavasti, olivat yhteystyöhaluisia ja motivoituneita). Tutkimuksen toisessa vaiheessa selvitettiin opettajien arvioimien koulun toiminnallisten ilmapiiritekijöiden yhteyttä oppilaiden itsearvioimaan emotion…
Dispersal ecology of deadwood organisms and connectivity conservation
2018
Limited knowledge of dispersal for most organisms hampers effective connectivity conservation in fragmented landscapes. In forest ecosystems, deadwood‐dependent organisms (i.e., saproxylics) are negatively affected by forest management and degradation globally. We reviewed empirically established dispersal ecology of saproxylic insects and fungi. We focused on direct studies (e.g., mark‐recapture, radiotelemetry), field experiments, and population genetic analyses. We found 2 somewhat opposite results. Based on direct methods and experiments, dispersal is limited to within a few kilometers, whereas genetic studies showed little genetic structure over tens of kilometers, which indicates long…
