Romani Bildungsroman – On the Cultural Trauma of Coming-of-Age as Presented in the Novels - City of Pain and City of Sin by Meti Kamberi
No full textThe aim of this paper is to analyze the articulation of cultural trauma of coming-of-age as depicted in the novels City of Pain and City of Sin by the young Romani author Meti Kamberi. The common feature of these two novels is that they both explore the traumatic childhood and coming –of-age experiences through the main protagonist’s point of view, suggesting that they either belong to the genres of autobiography and bildungsroman. Both novels are examined from the ethnic/minority bildungsroman perspective, with a particular focus on the personal experience narrative of coming-of-age of a Romani minority member in post-socialist Serbia as described in either of the two. Through illustrative examples, this paper demonstrates that the literary and artistic creations of minority populations can be a valuable ethnographic source for investigating their self-representations. The pages of these novels represent a space for articulating ethnic as well as racialized traumas, caused by both personal and transgenerational experiences of discrimination, stigmatization, and marginalization of the Romani population in this region. The thematization of life between two worlds, the dichotomy between the community of origin and the mainstream society, is a key characteristic of the Romani bildungsroman
Negative Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (NTCR) of Bismuth Manganite Nanoparticles: Polypyrrole Conductivity Enhancement
No full textPolypyrrole (PPy)-doped bismuth calcium manganite (BCM) nanocomposites were synthesized by chemical polymerization. The amorphous nature of the polypyrrole and the monoclinic crystal structure of the BCM particles (35–65 nm) were confirmed by various microstructural, X-ray powder, and spectroscopy techniques. The DC conductivity analysis via the correlated barrier-hopping (CBH) model and Mott’s variable-range hopping (MVRH) model showed that the nanocomposites exhibited ionic conduction. Activation energies, evaluated from the Arrhenius plots, showed that PPy/BCM-30 (30 wt.% of BCM) had the minimum value of 0.09 eV, indicating maximum conductivity and normal NTCR behavior, with resistance decreasing with temperature. The CBH model described the conduction process, and the AC conductivity measurements indicated that the conductivity was frequency-independent at lower frequencies but became dispersive and frequency-dependent at higher frequencies, conforming to Jonscher’s power law. The study revealed that the transport of electrical charge in the material followed the correlated barrier-hopping (CBH) model. These results demonstrate how promising PPy/BCM nanocomposites are for energy storage, sensors, and electronic materials
Structural, DC Conductivity and Electric Modulus Studies of Polypyrrole Praseodymium Manganite Nanocomposites
No full text165-174Praseodymium Calcium Manganite (PCM) nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. Polypyrrole (PPy) and
polypyrrole–praseodymium manganite nanocomposites (PPy/PCM) were synthesized by in-situ chemical polymerization
method. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) confirmed good crystallinity with 42-63 nm average particle size.
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) exhibited well-defined core structure of PPy and the PPy/PCM nanocomposites. X-ray
diffraction (XRD) patterns of PPy showed amorphous nature and those of composites showed semicrystalline nature. UVVis
spectroscopy was used to study the energy band gap for all the nanocomposites and hence they may find a place in wide
band gap applications. The UV (231nm) and visible (363 nm and 377 nm) emissions were observed from the spectrum. DC
conductivity was studied from 473 to 303 K for all the nanocomposites and found that conduction is of semiconductor type.
Analysis of electric modulus confirmed the contribution from grain and grain boundary, non-Debye type relaxation and dc
conductivity obeyed Correlated Barrier Hopping (CBH) model
Latest METI Book Probes Soul, Self-Knowledge
Get PDFA parallel English-Arabic text of the Islamic philosophical work Iksir al-Arifin, or Elixir of the Gnostics, is the latest publication in the Islamic Translation Series, part of the Institute’s Middle Eastern Texts Initiative. The author, Sadr al-Din Muhammad Shirazi, better known as Mulla Íadrā (A.D. 1572–1640), is considered one of the greatest Islamic philosophers of the last 600 years and in recent years has become one of the most well known. Adept at finding flaws in the work of previous great thinkers, he was at the same time able to think independently of them, creating his own philosophical approach that he called “transcendent philosophy.” This approach combined reason, intellectual intuition, illumination, and revelation to arrive at truth
Expansion Abroad and Jobs at Home - Evidence from Japanese Multinational Enterprises
Get PDFThis paper examines the exporting job hypothesis that expansion of overseas operations of manufacturing multinational enterprises (MNEs) reduces home employment using data for Japanese MNEs. While the existing studies are mainly based on the industry level data, this paper presents the evidence using a newly constructed firm-level panel data set over the period 1991-2002. The evidence does not support the widely-held view in Japanese policy circles that that overseas operations of MNEs expand at the cost of home employment. On the contrary, there is some evidence that overseas operations may have helped to maintain the level of home employment.Multinational Enterprises, FDI, labour demand, Globalisation
Innovative Tokyo
Get PDFThis paper compares and contrasts Tokyo's innovation structure with the industrial districts model and the international hub model in the literature on urban and regional development. The Tokyo model embraces and yet transcends both industrial districts and international hub models. The paper details key elements making up the Tokyo model-organizational knowledge creation, integral and co-location systems of corporate R&D and new product development, test markets, industrial districts and clusters, participative consumer culture, continuous learning from abroad, local government policies, the national system of innovation, and the historical genesis of Tokyo in Japan's political economy. The paper finds that the Tokyo model of innovation will continue to evolve with the changing external environment, but fundamentally retains its main characteristics. The lessons from the Tokyo model is that openness, a diversified industrial base, the continuing development of new industries, and an emphasis on innovation, all contribute to the dynamism of a major metropolitan region.Labor Policies,Environmental Economics&Policies,Public Health Promotion,ICT Policy and Strategies,Agricultural Knowledge&Information Systems,ICT Policy and Strategies,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Agricultural Knowledge&Information Systems,Innovation

Get PDFThe purpose of this final report is to know, understand and learn the importance of discipline in improving the working performance of employees in PT Electronic Solution. The problem that was found by writer is how the application of disciplined work to improve the performance of office workers at PT Electronic Solution. The data were collected from interviews and questionnaires,and there were analyzed by using the percentage formula. The Result and conclusions of the processing and analysis is that the application of PT Electronic Solution still not running optimally because there is still a discipline employee's who violate such regulations do not come on time, often out of the office during working hours, and the completion of the work is not completed on time yet, so the impact on employee's performance is not optimal, and in assessing performance is not optimal, and in assessing performance, employees are not aware of items considered by the company. Therefore, the author recommends that companies provide strict penalties for employees who violate the rules of discipline, so that corporate objectives can be achieved, as well as in implementing the company's performance appraisal should be informed of items that are rated by the company
