Historic constructions of the early multinational: on power, politics and culture in Pan Am narratives
2018
This paper examines how Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) - an early incarnation of a multinational enterprise (MNE) - developed its image as an international company. In particular, we examine how the company developed and managed potentially conflicting narratives, including the modernising US company and the airline of 'the Americas' (specifically South America); the carrier of US national interests and the politically neutral actor serving to unify cultures; the purveyor of exotic experiences and the pioneer of modernism. Through a focus on organisational narratives, we reveal the powerful influence of such story telling (through design and serendipity) on images of the peoples and co…
Global responsibility: An exploratory corpus assisted discourse analysis of the Rohingya crisis in online media
2021
This study conducts an exploratory corpus-assisted discourse analysis of the representation of the Rohingya minority group across online news media in the United Kingdom. The purpose of the study is to identify and interpret the discursive patterns employed in popular online news media when depicting the Rohingya minority and associated crises affecting the group in Myanmar and worldwide. Through the use of a combination of frequency, collocation, and concordance analysis, a synchronic study was undertaken using data collected from fifteen major online news media producers in the United Kingdom. The data was collected over a period from January 2017 – August 2020 through freely accessible d…
HIGHLY EXCITED VIBRATIONAL STATES OF CYCLIC MOLECULES INVESTIGATED BY I.C.L.A SPECTROSCOPY WITH PHOTOACOUSTIC DETECTION
1991
The spectra of the fourth and fifth CH stretching overtones of cyclohexene and cyclopentene molecules and of some of their selectively deuterated derivatives have been measured by dye laser intracavity spectroscopy with photoacoustic detection. The intramolecular relaxation of the vibrational energy occurs principally through Fermi resonances with CH2 bending combinations in cyclohexene and through a coupling between the stretching and the ring puckering motions in cyclopentene.
BALDONE OBSERVATORY IN THE CIRCLES OF TIME
2019
1957 – The first laboratory building, known as the White House, was built near Baldone on the Riekstu hill, in the territory of the next Observatory. 01.01.1958 – The Astronomy Sector was separated from the Institute of Physics and commenced independent activi- ty as the Laboratory of Astrophysics at the Latvian Acade- my of Sciences (LAS). In 1967, with the decision of the Presidium of the Latvian SSR LAS the Laboratory of As- trophysics was transformed into the Radioastrophysic Ob- servatory at LAS. Under the leadership of the first director, Janis Ikaunieks, an instrumental observation base develops – a 1.2m Schmidt telescope was installed in 1966 for opti- cal observations. The project …
INTEREST OF BEAM QUALITY IN MATERIALS TREATMENTS BY HIGH POWER LASER
1991
The aim of the study is the increasing of performances of the YAG Lasers. For this, we use the principle established by Boquillon and Taisne : an X geometry of the resonator. In this case the number of emitted modes is lower than for the linear conception and the beam quality is greater. So, reached power density can be 7 times higher than for the classical cavity and consequently cutting speed can be about 2 times higher than for the linear one. Concerning welding, thick materials need a lot of energy and our system is not competitive. however it exists an interest for thin joining with an easely formed key hole and later a more important penetration.
A SURVEY ON THE ACOUSTICAL CONDITIONS IN A SPANISH SECONDARY SCHOOL
1992
The present paper reports on a study of the acoustical conditions in a secondary school of Gandia (Spain). Our data include a complete information on noise levels, reverberation times and speech intelligibility of classrooms, together with the results of two social surveys adressed to teachers and students in order to know their attitudes towards this problem.
Les archives hospitalières
2016
National audience; Les archivistes hospitaliers sont confrontés à de nombreux défis : dématérialisation, normalisation, traitement et valorisation des archives. D'un autre côté, les juristes doivent démêler les règles applicables, partagées entre le Code de la santé publique et le Code du patrimoine, mais aussi veiller à la protection des droits des patients. Le législateur et le juge assurent un arbitrage entre ces droits. Ces archives procurent de riches sources d'information pour retracer l'histoire de la médecine celle du droit de la famille et de la protection sociale. Elles donnent accès à des pans entier de l'histoire sociale.
Siti Web Museali: Identità Perdute. Appunti per una “storia” del progetto web museale nei primi anni 2000
2021
This discussion tries to investigate the theme of the "web amnesia" in relation to the website project of cultural institutions. More precisely, the reflection is inspired by a "rereading" of a research experience gained within the University of Palermo through the drafting of a doctoral thesis entitled "The web for culture. From digital identity to the design of online services” which had as its objective the mapping of the websites of museums or cultural institutions in relation to quality criteria, operational indications, design guidelines and, in general, to all the issues of the sectoral scientific debate of the early 2000s. Today, thanks to this possible reinterpretation, this resear…
Implementare il patrimonio archivistico: ricostruzione virtuale di una villa non realizzata di Giuseppe Samonà in Sicilia
2023
Questo saggio vuole essere una testimonianza dell’importanza culturale e cognitiva degli archivi (del progetto) intesi come patrimonio pubblico. L’azione di re-immaginarli può costituire un veicolo per la loro conoscenza? Con l’analisi di un caso-studio di un’abitazione non realizzata di un architetto del Novecento come Giuseppe Samonà si prova a verificare l’efficacia degli strumenti digitali per l’interpretazione dell’architettura come mezzi per l’implementazione comunicativa di un archivio.
