Objectivity and advocacy: probability theory and capital costing at the Bell System, 1913-1941
No full textThis dissertation, an historical case study, investigates how the Bell Telephone System blended knowledge of depreciation and probability theory both to develop a managerial accounting policy and to serve as a means for controlling debate before government regulators in the early twentieth century. This research shows that by combining statistics and accounting, the Bell System created a system for estimating capital cost expiration that was firmly grounded in mathematical science. The firm developed methodologies that used averaging techniques as a way to determine trends in asset life that were obscured by random fluctuations in actual retirements. The resultant smoothing of annual expenses also helped reduce the perception of risk, thus providing an economic benefit to the firm. At the same time, complexity derived from the application of probability theory gave the telephone company significant advantages in regulatory debates with adversaries trained primarily in accounting and law. In addition, the advanced mathematics also functioned as a knowledge barrier which inhibited potential encroachments by regulators on corporate prerogatives.
This study extends the body of literature on managerial accounting by documenting an early use of statistical tools to understand firm resources. This study also expands our understanding of the acquisition and use of knowledge within the firm. Some of the most interesting findings look at the contextual nature of knowledge. Thus, in the pro-business atmosphere of the 1920’s, the firm was left alone to develop its knowledge base and design applications that were in its own best interests. With the crisis of the Depression, the relationship between the firm and business changed, and regulators demanded examination of the equity issues related to AT&T’s depreciation practices. This resulted in changes to the rate base calculations, but the basic depreciation policies of the Bell System remained unchanged.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 138-147)by Deirdre M.

Interview with Lucky Lartey : discussing Ewe & Ga rhythms, Sankofa architecture
No full text(AUDIO) Dancer Lucky Lartey interviewed by the author, Deirdre Molloy. Recorded remotely using Zoom software – Lartey in Sydney Australia, Molloy in Toulouse, France. Audio EQ and production by Deirdre Molloy. Discussion includes dance video commentary.AUDIO FILE AVAILABLE ON THE DOI or View /listen to the recordings in context online: https://www.decodenoir.org/As of 2021 these recordings have been curated to form a (prototype) online gallery of African Diaspora social dance culture and lineage, presenting ethnographic interviews of ‘native’ dance culture educators on DecodeNoir. The author recorded these interviews for her Ethnochoreology Masters Arts Practice thesis at the University of Limerick in 2021 (remote during COVID – living in France). The interviewees gave informed consent to recording and archival storage and diffusion. Originally uploaded and linked from the author’s personal Google drive in 2021, this Nakala upload is an archival upgrade. Meeting Open Research Europe publication criteria and securing the recordings in an affordable (free) and safe server are the main benefits of moving to Nakala from G-drive. Using Nakala to archive this edited audio data makes data more accessible to the academic readers, dance communities and the general public who are the intended audience. These recordings inform and underpin ongoing PhD research and theory by the author at University of Toulouse in cotutelle with University College Cork

The Birds of the Innocent Wood de Deirdre Madden, la voix de l’ange ?
No full textL’objet de l’article est de tenter de trouver des éléments de réponse à la question du genre du narrateur hétérodiégétique. En explorant le roman de l’écrivaine irlandaise, Deirdre Madden, à l’aide d’outils stylistiques, il s’agira de percevoir comment l’auteure combine dans son œuvre perspectives et voix afin de construire une tessiture narrative susceptible d’être identifiée comme féminine.The present aim of this article is to try and identify what elements can help and define a narrative voice as feminine rather than masculine. A close stylistic study of Deirdre Madden’s novel, The Birds of the Innocent Wood will, hopefully, help us come closer to understanding the way an author articulates voices and perspectives to create feminine intonations in her narrative
