Corporate ethical codes as strategic documents: An analysis of success and failure
2009
Ethical codes state the major philosophical principles and values in organizations and function as policy documents which define the responsibilities of organizations to stakeholders. They spell out the conduct expected of employees and articulate the acceptable ethical parameters of behavior in the organization. Most large US and multinational firms today have a code. If utilized effectively and embraced, codes can be key strategic documents in organizations for moderating employee behavior and reducing unethical actions. To be effective they must be communicated well and become a part of the culture of the organization. An ethical code from a major investment bank is analyzed in terms of …
Violence in the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales: a corpus-based approach
2010
The purpose of this article is to carry out a corpus-based study on the presence of violence in a selection of eight tales by the Grimm's Brothers by looking at the terms which can be said to relate to the semantic field of violence. More specifically, this study will analyse a selection of eight tales in which the frequency of the words cut, dead and blood will be studied in detail. These words have been chosen due to their possible connection to violence after carrying out a quantitative analysis of the frequency of the whole main corpus. My initial hypothesis is that the corpus-based study of those eight tales would support my intuition regarding the high percentage of violence in the Br…
Annäherung an die deutsche Frühromantik als Seelentherapie in der Biographie und im Frühwerk der Ricarda Huch
2021
The first recognised professional writer of the German-speaking area, Doctor of History, critical observer of her times and a literature historian Ricarda Hutch was interested in the ideals of (early) German Romanticism throughout her life. This paper presents Huch’s interest in Romanticism in three stages. First, Huch’s subjective rapprochement with Romanticism will be presented. The second theme discussed in the article are some aspects of her literary-intellectual work on German Romanticism. Thirdly, the story of Huch, which was created under the influence of romantic ideals, will be discussed.
“In States Unborn and Accents Yet Unknown”: Spectral Shakespeare in Paolo and Vittorio Taviani’s Cesare deve morire (Caesar Must Die).
2014
The paper focuses on Paolo and Vittorio Taviani’s Cesare deve morire (Caesar Must Die) (2012), an Italian adaptation of Julius Caesar set in a high security prison in Rome with a cast entirely made of convicts or former convicts. It explores how this adaptation "deconstructs" and "rewrites" Shakespeare (from an "Interview" with the film directors), especially by setting Julius Caesar in the "unborn state" of a prison, and through the use of a number of "accents yet unknown"–the inclusion of "dialects" from the South of Italy that not only displace the English "original" but also "standard" Italian translations of the play. The paper argues that the "Shakespeare" that emerges from this film …
Mortality and health-related habits in 900 Finnish former elite athletes and their brothers.
2018
BackgroundThere is conflicting evidence on the associations between participation in vigorous sports, health habits, familial factors and subsequent mortality. We investigated all-cause mortality and health-related behaviour among former elite athletes and their brothers.MethodsThe mortality of Finnish male former elite athletes, who had represented Finland between 1920 and 1965 (n=900) and their age-matched brothers (n=900), was followed from the time when athlete started an elite athlete career until 31 December 2015. The age-adjusted HRs were calculated by a paired Cox proportional hazards model. In 2001, surviving participants (n=199 athletes and n=199 age-matched brothers) reported the…
A pragmatic study of nonsense, from Lewis Carroll to the Monty Python
2010
This dissertation consists in a study of verbal exchanges in nonsense literature, from the last quarter of the nineteenth century and one of the two fathers of the genre, Lewis Carroll, to the last quarter of the twentieth century and his glorious heirs, the Monty Python. The corpus is taken from the whole of English-speaking nonsense literature, be it English (Lewis Carroll, the Monty Python, N.F. Simpson), Canadian (Stephen Leacock), or American (Robert Benchley, Donald Ogden Stewart, Joseph Heller and the Marx Brothers). As the title indicates, the study of verbal exchanges will rely on pragmatic analysis, pragmatics being the study of how language works as a practice, in social context.…

Los i magia - determinanty działania baśniowych postaci
2018
Artykuł poświęcony jest analizie wybranych tekstów baśni braci Grimm pod kątem występowania w nich konkretnych faktorów: losu oraz magii. Rozważania pokazują, pod jakimi względami los determinuje zachowanie bohaterów baśni. Jednocześnie artykuł omawia, w jakim stopniu to magia wpływa na życie postaci we wspomnianych historiach. Całość zmierza do wyznaczenia pewnych typów baśni, w których to los, rozumiany jako nagły obrót wypadków na drodze życiowej bohatera, bądź ciążące nad nim fatum odgrywają zasadnicze znaczenie.
The Transfer of Names in Various Translations of Brothers Grimm’s Rumpelstilzchen
2022
Wielu badaczy wskazuje transfer nazw własnych jako jedną z trudności przekładu. Niniejsza praca dotyczy translacji imion w dwudziestu jeden przekładach baśni Rumpelstilzchen spod pióra braci Grimm. Analizie zostały poddane angielskie, brazylijskie, polskie, tureckie oraz japońskie wydania baśni napisanej pierwotnie w języku niemieckim. Praca skupia się na analizie prawdziwego imienia tytułowego skrzata oraz imion wymienianych przez baśniową królową. Artykuł zawiera pięć analiz opisujących onomastyczne aspekty przekładu oraz zastosowane techniki tłumaczeniowe. Wyniki wskazują na to, że podejście tłumaczy do przekładu imion było różnorodne na przestrzeni lat oraz wydań. Najczęściej wykorzysty…
O. Aleksandra Krzysztofa Sitnika OFM badania nad dziejami polskich bernardynów (dorobek historiograficzny 2006–2019)
2020
O. Aleksander Krzysztof Sitnik OFM (ur. 1971 r.) należy do franciszkańskiej gałęzi Zakonu Braci Mniejszych prowincji Niepokalanego Poczęcia NMP, nazywanych w Polsce bernardynami. W swoich pracach podejmuje zagadnienia dotyczące szeroko rozumianych dziejów prowincji bernardyńskich Zakonu Braci Mniejszych w Polsce, począwszy od 1453 r. Badania te poświęca dziejom poszczególnych klasztorów z gałęzi męskiej i żeńskiej, a ich dyskurs historyczny doprowadza do czasów współczesnych, ponieważ, jak sam uważa, atmosfera po 1945 r. nie sprzyjała wydawaniu dzieł analizujących dzieje Kościoła w Polsce, ani tym bardziej zgłębiających działalność zakonów. Autor prowadzi także badania naukowe z pogranicza …
