Superhuman Cognitions, Fourth Dimension and Speculative Comics Narrative : Panel Repetition in Watchmen and From Hell

2016

Abstract: This article investigates the use of repeating panels in relation to speculative fiction storytelling in graphic novels Watchmen and From Hell , written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons and Eddie Campbell, respectively. Presenting the same panel several times over the course of the narrative is an expressive medium-specific narrative technique available only to comics. In the discussed graphic novels, panel repetition is used to represent the superhuman cognitions of the quantum powered superhero Dr. Manhattan, as well as the magical experiences of Sir William Gull, the homicidal madman behind the brutal Jack the Ripper murders in Victorian London. Both characters hav…

Pārskatu un analīzes moduļa izveide DVS sistēmai

2017

Darbs “Pārskatu un analīzes moduļa izstrāde DVS sistēmai” apraksta risinājuma izstrādi, kas ļauj DVS LIETVARIS lietotājiem apskatīt un izgūt informāciju par sistēmā reģistrētiem dokumentiem pārskatu un analīžu veidā. Dati par dokumentu pazīmēm un rādītājiem var tikt saņemti gan vizuālo pārskatu veidā, gan Excel datņu veidā, kas var tikt izmantotas tālākai apstrādei. Risinājums piedāvā pašvaldībām iespēju analizēt savu struktūrvienību un to darbinieku efektivitāti, kā arī sekot līdzi procesiem, kas notiek ar sistēmā reģistrētajiem dokumentiem. Risinājums tika izstrādāts primāri izmantojot .NET Core, Angular.js, Nix.Spreadsheet, ElasticSearch, Chart.js, Kendo UI un Oracle Database tehnoloģija…

Reciprocal Relationships Between Perceived Supportive School Climate and Self-reported Truancy : A Longitudinal Study from Grade 6 to Grade 9

2022

This longitudinal study of 1,066 Finnish students examined bidirectional reciprocal relationships between changes in perceived supportive school climate and changes in self-reported truancy from the last year of primary school (Grade 6) to the last year of lower secondary school (Grade 9). The results of the random intercept cross-lagged panel model showed, first, that a decrease in positive perceptions of school climate at the previous time point predicted more self-reported truancy at the following time point. Second, an increase in self-reported truancy predicted less positive perceptions of supportive school climate. The study indicates that students’ perceptions of supportive school cl…

New Insight on Medieval Painting in Sicily: The Virgin Hodegetria Panel in Monreale Cathedral (Palermo, Italy)

2023

: The Virgin Hodegetria, located in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Nuova in Monreale, near Palermo (Italy), probably dating the first half of the 13th century, is one of the earliest examples of medieval panel painting in Sicily. A diagnostic campaign was carried out on the panel aiming to identify the constituting materials and the executive technique, as well as to assess the state of conservation for supporting the methodological choice of the restoration intervention. Both non invasive (X-ray radiography, digital microscope, multispectral imaging, ED-X-ray fluorescence) and micro-invasive (polarised light microscopy, ESEM-EDX, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy) analyses w…

Information, Communications and Media Technologies for Sustainability: Constructing Data-Driven Policy Narratives

2021

This paper introduces the idea of data-driven narratives to examine how the use of information, communications, and media technologies (ICMTs) impacts the sustainable growth of economies. While ICMTs have regularly been advocated as a policy tool for growth and development, there is a research gap in empirical studies validating how such policies may be effective. This analysis is based on historical panel data from 39 economies across the developed North (19) and developing South (20). The industry-standard Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) methodology was applied to construct narratives that weave extant theories with empirical data. The art of developing data-dri…

The Effects of the Value-Added Tax on Revenue and Inequality

2019

This paper examines the impact of the introduction of the value-added tax on inequality and government revenues using newly released macro data. We present both conventional country fixed effect regressions and instrumental variable analyses, where VAT adoption is instrumented using the previous values of neighbouring countries’ VAT systems as an instrument. The results reveal – in contrast to earlier work – that the revenue consequences of the VAT have not been positive. The results indicate that income-based inequality has increased due to the VAT adoption, whereas consumption inequality has remained unaffected. Peer reviewed

Is personality related to permanent earnings? Evidence using a twin design

2018

Using twin survey combined with register-based panel data on labor market outcomes, the authors examine the association between personality characteristics and long-term earnings among prime working-age individuals. The long-term earnings were measured over the 1990–2008 period. The sample contains 4,642 twin pairs, of which 53% are females. In contrast to previous studies, this paper uses the within-twin dimension of the data to control for shared family background and confounding genetic factors. The results suggest that unobserved genetic differences may introduce omitted variable bias in standard ordinary least square results. After controlling for shared environment and genetic backgro…

Variational approach for analysis of harmonic vibration and stabiligy of moving panels

2014

In this paper, the stability of a simply supported axially moving elastic panel (plate undergoing cylindrical deformation) is considered. A complex variable technique and bifurcation theory are applied. As a result, variational equations and a variational principle are derived. Analysis of the variational principle allows the study of qualitative properties of the bifurcation points. Asymptotic behaviour in a small neighbourhood around an arbitrary bifurcation point is analyzed and presented. It is shown analytically that the eigenvalue curves in the (ω, V0) plane cross both the ω and V0 axes perpendicularly. It is also shown that near each bifurcation point, the dependence ω(V0) for each m…

« Product Market Regulations Impact on the Labor Market »

2020

Depuis la crise financière de 2008, les gouvernements européens ont mis en place de nombreusesréformes des régulations anticoncurrentielles des marchés des biens et services, soit desréformes des lois et règlements dans les secteurs des services et des réseaux pouvant restreindrela concurrence et les choix des entreprises. Ces réformes sont soutenues par des organismesinternationaux, comme l’OCDE et le FMI, et par une littérature abondante concluant à des effetsnégatifs de ces régulations sur l’innovation et la productivité des entreprises. Cependant, leurseffets sur le marché du travail sont assez méconnus.Ce papier étudie les effets de ces régulations sur les marchés du travail des région…
