Virginia Woolf and photography
Authors: Humm Maggie
Published: December 2017

From 2000, criticism on Woolf and the visual has quadrupled in volume. The research work about a photographic Woolf – which include other photographers’ interaction with Woolf such as Gisèle Freund or my own analysis of Woolf and Bell’s personal photo albums – shows how these newer issues of Woolf and photography are now absolutely central in any consideration of Virginia Woolf studies, gaining a noticeable importance when we consider the interdisciplinary issue of photography and gender.
Figurations of the body in the snapshot of digital photojournalism: the non-pose and disfiguration
Authors: Lins Alene , Oliveira Madalena , Santos Luís António
Published: December 2017

This article analyses the technological changes that have modified the snapshot in photojournalism. Formerly, snapshot was a result of the technique and expertise of the photographer. Today, due to a kind of “agility” of the cameras, it has become a possible practice for any photo-reporter. Sequential photographs turn the portrayed subject’s body into a pliant element of the editorial process. In figurations that privilege unfulfilled gestures and disfigurements, some images published by the press symbolically alter the social representation of the person portrayed. The study described within this paper also points to the use of an aesthetic of the grotesque, present in the expressions, gestures and posture of the subject photographed and to a discourse of the snapshot as a regime of power exerted by the press.
Vídeo e storytelling num mundo digital: interações e narrativas em videoclipes
Authors: Oliva Rodrigo , Bidarra José , Araújo Denize
Published: December 2017

Este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre as narrativas em videoclipes. Discute-se os arranjos das linguagens audiovisuais a partir de configurações estabelecidas por características dos meios de comunicação, enfatizando o papel das plataformas de difusão de informação e entretenimento como o YouTube. Sublinha-se ainda um diálogo com a linguagem do cinema e evidencia-se que, nos cenários contemporâneos, os videoclipes contam histórias. Discute-se que os videoclipes contemporâneos, em grande maioria, prolongam o tempo da música, com pausas, atuações de personagens, inserção de diálogos e outros elementos estruturantes que descaracterizam os paradigmas clássicos e convencionais da linguagem. Para a análise, o objeto do estudo são os videoclipes do cineasta canadense Xavier Dolan. A fundamentação teórica é estabelecida a partir de autores inseridos nos debates da cultura da convergência, de transmídia storytelling e das interações entre linguagens audiovisuais.
Video and storytelling in a digital world: interactions and narratives in videoclips
Authors: Oliva Rodrigo , Bidarra José , Araújo Denize
Published: December 2017

This paper presents a study about narratives in music videos. It discusses the arrangements of audio-visual languages from settings established by characteristics of the media, emphasizing the role of platforms for the diffusion of information and entertainment such as YouTube. It highlights a dialogue within cinema’s own language and shows that, in contemporary scenarios, music videos actually tell stories. It is argued that contemporary music videos, in great majority, increase the duration of music, with pauses, performances of characters, insertion of dialogues and other structuring elements that are not typical of the classic and conventional paradigms of a language. For our purposes, the objects of this study are the music videos of Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan. The theoretical foundation is established through authors involved in debates around a culture of convergence, transmedia storytelling and interactions among the audio-visual languages.

Authors: Van Dyke Michael , Cox James
Published: December 2017

Short DNA probes, for example, those used in characterizing protein-DNA complexes, have historically been radiolabeled with 32P to allow their detection and quantitation following native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). For reasons of economy or safety, alternative means of DNA detection need to be used. Described here is the resolution of 5' IRD700 and IRD800 end-labeled DNAs by native PAGEand their visualization and quantitation by IR fluorescence imaging.

Garden Cities of the 21st Century: A Sustainable Path to Suburban Reform
Authors: Vernet Nicolas , Coste Anne
Published: December 2017

The garden city is often presented as a low-density, unsustainable and space-consuming archetype of suburbanization (Duany, Roberts, & Tallen, 2014; Hall, 2014; Safdie & Kohn, 1997). It has been deliberately also misused by property developers for gated communities (Le Goix, 2003; Webster, 2001). But these projects have little in common with the original concept of garden cities. We argue that the original garden city, as a theory (Howard, 1898) and as experiments (Letchworth and Welwyn Garden Cities), is a precedent that can be used in a sustainable approach that addresses a range of issues and concerns, such as housing, governance, the economy, mobility, the community, agriculture, energy and health. The recent Wolfson Economics Prize (2014) and the many new garden cities and suburbs projects currently planned in the UK have demonstrated the resurgence of this model in the planning world, both in terms of theory and practice. In this paper, we explore its potential in the light of environmental challenges. We therefore suggest that as a model, it can in particular underpin the evolution of suburbs in an era of energy transition, since these areas require an ecosystemic rather than sectoral approach to design.

The second, Muhammadiyah sufistic is practiced under the frame of shari‘ah, on the basis of the Qur’an and Hadith. Third, the substance of sufism in the Muhammadiyah perspective is noble character that should be realized in daily life. Fourth, the orientation of Muhammadiyah sufism emphasizes the dimension of righteous deeds, social praxis, and of moving from theory to practice. Fifth, Muhammadiyah sufism presents sufistic teachings adjusted to the spirit of modernity so that it may be called modern sufism. Sixth, Muhammadiyah sufism is expressed in more active and dynamic styles. A sufi is not allowed to do nothing, but is obliged to work actively and to interact with society. Seventh, Muhammadiyah sufism stays away from the philosophical sufism discourse that may potentially cause debates. Muhammadiyah views that to become sufi, one should not become the member of sufi order with the style of “teacher-centered” in practice.Artikel ini membahas corak sufisme dalam perspektif Muhammadiyah. Kajianini merupakan studi literatur terhadap fatwa resmi Muhammadiyah terhadap sufisme sebagai bagian dari dimensi spiritual ajaran Islam. Kajian ini juga menempatkan sejumlah tokoh Muhammadiyah sebagai subjek studi. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa perspektif Muhammadiyah dan tokoh-tokohnya terhadap sufisme sangat positif. Kehidupan sufistik dalam kenyataannya juga menjadi trend di kalangan pengikut Muhammadiyah. Corak sufisme Muhammadiyah yang penting meliputi: pertama, ajaran sufisme Muhammadiyah berbasis pada tauhid murni. Kedua, sufisme Muhammadiyah dipraktekkan dalam bingkai syariah, berdasar al-Qur’an dan hadits. Ketiga, substansi sufisme dalam perspektif Muhammadiyah adalah akhlak mulia dan harus diwujudkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Keempat, orientasi sufisme Muhammadiyah menekankan dimensi amal salih, praksis sosial, dan bergerak dari teori ke praktek. Kelima, sufisme Muhammadiyah menampilkan ajaran tasawuf yang disesuaikan dengan spirit modernitas sehingga layak disebut tasawuf modern. Keenam, sufisme Muhammadiyah diekspresikan dalam corak yang lebih aktif dan dinamis. Seorang sufi tidak boleh berpangku tangan, melainkan harus aktifbekerja dan berinteraksi dengan masyarakat. Ketujuh, sufisme Muhammadiyahmenjauhi wacana tasawuf falsafi yang potensial mengundang perdebatan.Terakhir, Muhammadiyah berpandangan untuk menjadi sufi, seseorang tidakharus menjadi anggota tarekat yang dalam prakteknya bercorak guru sentris.

Brazilian franchisor: Entry and operation of internationalized franchise
Authors: Aguiar Helder de Souza , Luppe Marcos Roberto , Nascimento Paulo Tromboni de Souza
Published: December 2017

This study aimed to compare the entry and operations strategies of franchisors of developed countries into foreign countries with Brazilian counterparts. Were there significant differences? An exploratory study was conducted with 16 international franchisors operating in Brazil and 31 Brazilian franchisors operating abroad. The results show that international franchisors operating abroad prefer to use a subsidiary in the destination country. At the same time, this strategy is little used by Brazilian franchisors, which prefer the strategy of direct franchises. For data collection, 47 directors or managers of the international expansion of Brazilian companies and the expansion directors of the international companies which operates in Brazil were interviewed. Although more expensive, the subsidiary in the target country offers greater control over the expansion of business reducing the problems caused by the distance of the country of origin. For the management of franchisors, this paper points out that the subsidiary is a natural evolution of entry and operation mode when it is desired or it is needed to control the expansion of networks in other countries. Thus, managers of franchisors in emerging countries should carefully examine the subsidiary option in the target country when their company considers accelerating international growth.
Evolution in franchising: Trends and new perspectives
Authors: Varotto Luis Fernando , Aureliano-Silva Leonardo
Published: December 2017

Franchising as a legal or marketing concept was not new. It arose as a structured business system in the US, around 1860´s when The Singer Company established a network of resellers for sewing machines. Nowadays franchising is one of the fastest developing forms of business in the world. The evolution of theories that seek to explain franchise systems have been published in academic journals from time to time, but until now there was not a study that have established a social network analysis to quantify the degree of centrality and cohesion of the relationship between the main authors, journals, methods and theories in franchise. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to extend the knowledge about franchising through an extensive research on its main theoretical perspectives into relevant international academic journals, showing the evolution of the field, highlighting the principal issues, authors and methods. Through a selection of 130 articles ranging from 1966 to 2015 the study investigates five relevant theories in franchising: (1) Resource Acquisition Theory, (2) Agency Theory, (3) Transaction Cost Analysis, (4) Signaling Theory, and (5) Property Rights Theory. A descriptive statistical analysis was done in order to identify the main authors and trends with the most used associated theories in franchise papers. The findings show agency theory and signaling theory, and resource scarcity theory as the main perspectives used in studies about franchising, but other perspectives have been increasing its presence, mainly the institutional theory and resource based-view perspective. The main dependent and independent variables cover a wide range of constructs, but ownership, performance, age, size, growth, geographical dispersion, and internationalization have been the most cited.
Prospecting theoretical approaches to understand internationalization of creative economy firms
Authors: De Vasconcellos Sílvio Luís , Monticelli Jefferson Marlon , Calixto Cyntia Vilasboas , Garrido Ivan Lapuente
Published: December 2017

We argue that the internationalization process of firms in the creative economy has particular aspects that distinguish it from internationalization of firms in traditional economic sectors. We explore ways in which the international business literature might be helpful for understanding how internationalization takes place in firms whose core business is creation of ideas. We conducted a case study using a focus group technique to investigate a creative economy firm specialized in computer graphics. The firm already does business internationally as a producer of electronic mockup models, but is transitioning to the computer-generated video production industry. Our results suggest that behavioral approaches to international business related to entrepreneurship, as well as country origin effects and networks theory could be useful to expanding knowledge about the internationalization process in such firms, in which creativity is a critical resource.

Authors: Nikhlani Andi , Sukarti Komsanah
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT

 

The survival rate of blue swimming crabs and the larval metamorphosis processes are still low in hatcheries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different phytoecdysteroids doses on both the survival and the rate of Blue swimmer crab larvae metamorphosis. The study consisted of four different phytoecdysteroids treatments, namely: control (0 mg/100 g of feed), 1 mg/100 g of feed, 2 mg/100 g of feed, and 4 mg/100 g of feed. Each treatment was replicated three times. The survival rate of the larvae was analyzed through analysis of variance, while the rate of larval metamorphosis was descriptively analyzed. The results showed that the dose of phytoecdysteroid of 2 mg/100 g of artificial feed resulted in the highest survival and the fastest metamorphosis speed of crab larvae for zoea-2 and zoea-3, and the dose of 4 mg/100 g of artificial feed for stadia megalopa and crablet.

 

Keywords: phytoecdysteroids, survival rate, metamorphosis, blue swimming crab

Application Of Path-Goal Leadership Theory And Learning Theory In A Learning Organization
Authors: Farhan Bayan Yousef
Published: December 2017

This paper used learning theory and path-goal theory to propose a learning leadership model.  The practical side of these two theories is suitable for this proposed model, its agenda, and its tools for improving organizational learning.  The model is based on the assumption that leaders need to develop their competences and the competences of subordinates by creating a continuous learning process through sharing, exchanging, and improving knowledge and experiences.  The model states that learning leaders act as facilitators of the organizational learning process and adopt the right attitude to motivate subordinates for learning by removing obstacles and creating a learning culture.

Published: December 2017

To investigate how changes in the accounting environment in Korea affect firm productivity, this study analyzes productivity by firm size and labor type from 2000 to 2014, using a Cobb–Douglas production function. We find that (1) the greater the management advisory (tax) revenue, the greater the total revenue in large (small) accounting firms; and (2) marginal revenue is greatest for partners, followed by certified public accountants and general employees. In particular, partners’ contribution to large accounting firms improved after 2007, whereas general employees made a significant positive contribution to total revenue before 2007.
The Impact Of The Joint Provision Of Non-Audit Services On Audit Firm’s Tenure: A Kuwaiti Evidence
Authors: Al-Hajri Meshari O.
Published: December 2017

Concerns about the potential harm of the increased economic bond between the audit firm and the audit client resulting from the joint provision of audit and NAS have been investigated extensively in the audit literature. However, much of this research was conducted in developed countries’ settings, with very little, if any, carried out in the context of a developing country. The current study aims at filling this gap in audit research by investigating two important issues related to the joint provision using data from the Kuwaiti audit market. First, this study examines whether there is an association between the provision of NAS to the audit client and audit firm’s tenure as a surrogate of audit independence. Second, the current study aims at examining factors expected to influence clients’ purchase of NAS in the Kuwaiti audit market. Contrary to expectations, the results reveal a negative relationship between the joint provision and external audit firm’s tenure, suggesting that such a joint provision does not lead to the impairment of auditor independence. Results obtained from the NAS purchase logistic regression also show that audit client’s purchase of NAS from their audit firms is positively related to the amount of audit fees and client’s financial leverage.

The aim of the research was to improve the treatment results of early systemic complications in pancreonecrotic patients.In the period of 2006-2013, 418 patients with this pathology were hospitalized. In 219 (52,4 %) cases they sought medical help on the 1st day after the disease onset, and in 199 (47,6 %) - at a later date. The severity of the patients was progressively evaluated by SAPS scale. The onset of systemic complications was observed in the first phase of pancreonecrosis in 411 (98.3%) cases, and at later stages - in 7 (1.7%) patients. The most common systemic complication of pancreonecrosis was hepatic insufficiency - 64,4 %. Respiratory (odds ratio of death - 87,230) and cardiovascular disorders (odds ratio of death - 63,011) contributed most significantly to the outcome of the underlying disease. The most frequent (45%) and severe systemic impairment was multiorgan failure.

Published: December 2017

Changes in the total pulse blood filling of the cerebral circulation, the tone of the cerebral arteries of various diameters, and the venous outflow condition were studied. It was found that when exposed to examination stress, the hemodynamic effects of the orthostatic test are insignificant, in comparison with the conditions of the psychoemotional rest. A significant decrease in the tone of the small cerebral arteries caused by the examination procedure is associated with functional disorders of cerebral venous outflow. These changes in hemodynamics may act as a trigger in development of regional angiodystonia.

Authors: Solodkova E. G. , Fokin V. P. , Balalin S. V. , Melikhova I. A.
Published: December 2017

We studied two groups of patients of which 25 patients (25 eyes) were operated on for progressive keratoconus using corneal collagen crosslinking and 36 patients (36 eyes) were operated on for progressive keratoconus using a modified crosslinking technique. We found that corneal re-epithelialization was faster in the second group. The confocal microscopy showed that histomorphological changes were more pronounced in the first group at all stages of the follow-up period. The modified technique proved to be safer and caused fewer histomorphological changes in the cornea after corneal collagen crosslinking.
