William Emory papers
No full textWilliam H. Emory (1811-1887) was born in Queen Anne's County, Maryland. After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy in 1831, Emory devoted most of his life to the U.S. Army. Upon retirement in 1876 he had attained the rank of brigadier general and had served in the Mexican War, the Civil War, and on the Indian frontier. The documents in the collection consist of a letterbook, a biography drawn up shortly before retirement, and some loose correspondence with his wife, Matilda Wilkins Bache Emory. Several of his letters center around a period of transition in the early 1860s when Emory was serving in Indian territory but preparing for removal to the East for service with the Union forces against the Confederacy

BOOK REVIEW OF MATILDA WRITTEN BY ROALD DAHL
No full textNovel adalah refleksi dari kebudayaan manusia. Novel identik dengan sebuah karya sastra yang berbentuk prosa yang cukup panjang, dan cenderung fiktif. Sebuah novel tersusun berdasarkan unsur-unsur pembangun seperti unsur intrinsik dan ekstrinsik. Novel yang penulis ulas pada final project ini berjudul Matilda karangan penulis cerita anak-anak terkenal dari Inggris, Roald Dahl. Dahl terkenal karena karyanya yang imajinatif dan alur yang, menurut pendapat penulis, sulit ditebak. Matilda, menurut penulis, adalah novel imajiner dengan tema yang ringan. Cocok dibaca untuk semua golongan usia. Namun, pada novel ini Dahl banyak menggunakan hiperbola dalam melukiskan jalan ceritanya. Alasan inilah yang mendasari penulis untuk mengulas salah satu novel dari Roald Dahl, yaitu Matilda.
Matilda tergolong novel populer karena ceritanya mudah dipahami dan pengarang tidak berbelit-belit dalam menyampaikan cerita. Karena novel ini diperuntukkan bagi anak-anak, cerita yang dihadirkan mengikuti selera serta imajinasi pengarang, tidak rumit dan berkembang dengan sederhana sesuai dengan logika anak-anak.

Matilda of Canossa
No full textMatilda of Canossa, Countess of Tuscany, was born in 1046 to a noble family in northern Italy. She could have ended like so many other noble women during her time, as a simple tool with which to form marriage alliances between leading houses. However, with the support and mentorship of her mother, Matilda became a ruler in her own right.
Matilda was not only in full control of her own estate, she also commanded her own army and kept additional territory in Italy. In addition, she had close ties to the pope himself, Gregory VII. Matilda managed her monetary, military, and political assets in such a cunning way that she rose to be one of the most influential women of her time. The two most important rulers of the time, the Holy Roman Emperor and the pope, fully recognised Matilda’s value as an asset, and found themselves with either a powerful ally or a powerful enemy in her.Peer reviewedstudent peer-reviewed journal articlefinal article publishe
Evolution of Emotions from the Movie Matilda 1996 to the Movie Matilda 2022 (Comparative Analysis Study)
No full textThis research aims to compare the emotions depicted in the main character in the 1996 movie Matilda to the movie Matilda in 2022. This research investigates the emotional evolution that occurs from the movie Matilda 1996 to the movie Matilda 2022. This research is comparative diachronic research by Zepetnek theory and uses a character psychology approach in literary works. In obtaining data, this research was analyzed using Elizabeth B. Hurlok\u27s theory of children\u27s emotions and applying qualitative descriptive methods with notetaking as a research instrument. The results of this research show that there are types of emotions children get from the character Matilda: emotions of anger, joy or happiness, grief, curiosity, fear and affection. Therefore, the researchers concluded that the emotions that occur in the character Matilda from the 1996 movie Matilda to the movie Matilda 2022 show that Matilda 2022 is more aggressive, more expressive, and braver than the movie Matilda 1996. Overall, this research reveals evolution of emotions that are influenced by the author\u27s mindset towards children\u27s characters related to current developments
Tiimin resilienssikyky koronapandemian aikana
No full textTässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan tiimin resilienssikykyä, siihen vaikuttavia tekijöitä ja sitä, kuinka tiimiresilienssi ilmenee muutostilanteessa. Tiimin resilienssikykyä on suomessa tutkittu yksilön resilienssikykyä vähemmän, mutta muualla maailmassa aihetta on tutkittu jo jonkin verran enemmän. Viime aikoina on keskusteltu paljon työelämän murroksesta, resilienssistä, globalisaatiosta ja koronapandemiatilanteesta. Opinnäytetyön aihe valikoituikin tutkittavaksi juuri sen ajankohtaisuuden vuoksi. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tuottaa tietoa tiimien resilienssikyvyn merkityksestä koronapandemian aikana sekä siitä, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat merkittävimmin tiimiresilienssiin. Tutkimuksen keskeisin käsite on resilienssi, mutta tutkimuksessa sivutaan myös useita muita teorioita kuten tiimiteoriaa sekä mielen malleja. Tutkimukseen osallistui kuusi yrittäjää tai esimiestason henkilöä Etelä- ja Länsi-Suomessa sijaitsevista yrityksistä. Tutkimuksen haastattelut toteutettiin teemahaastatteluina kesä- ja elokuun aikana. Aineiston analyysimenetelmänä käytettiin laadullista sisällönanalyysiä. Haastateltavien nimet sekä yrityksen tunnistetiedot on muutettu haastatteluiden litterointivaiheessa.
Tämän tutkimuksen tulosten mukaan tiimin resilienssillä on ollut merkitystä muutoksesta selviytymiselle, sillä tiimin mahdollistaman sosiaalisen tuen ja yhdessä tekemisen merkitys on muutoksen aikana ollut merkittävä. Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittavat, että tiimin resilienssiin ja muutoksesta selviytymiseen vaikuttavat 1) muutosjohtaminen ja johtajan hyvä resilienssikyky, 2) muutokseen suhtautuminen (asenne ja näkökulma), 3) avoin, luottamuksellinen, yhteisöllinen ja kannustava tiimikulttuuri, 4) toimeenpanokyky ja 5) yhteiseen tavoitteeseen sitoutuminen.
Tutkimuksessa saatuja tuloksia opinnäytetyön tekijä voi hyödyntää tulevan liiketoiminnan ensimmäisen valmennuskokonaisuuden rakentamisessa. Lisäksi tutkimus tuotti tietoa sekä tukee aikaisempaa tutkimusta tiimin resilienssikyvyn tärkeydestä muutostilanteessa. Opinnäytetyön tuloksista on varmasti myös apua muille yrityksille tulevien muutostilanteiden varalle sekä tiimin resilienssikyvyn eli muutoksesta selviytymisen kehittämiselle. Opinnäytetyölläni onnistuin mielestäni vastaamaan tutkimuskysymykseeni. Mielenkiintoinen jatkotutkimuksen aihe olisi lisätutkimus siitä, kuinka koronapandemian toinen aalto vaikuttaa tiimin resilienssikykyyn ja eroavatko nämä tulokset ensimmäisestä tutkimuksesta saatuihin tuloksiin.The global Covid-19 pandemic has enhanced discussion of team resilience in companies. This thesis discusses team resilience, the factors affecting it and how resilience becomes apparent in changing circumstances. The aim of the thesis is to provide information about the importance of team resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic and which factors have the most significant impact on team resilience.
Six principals who are entrepreneur and supervisor of micro and small companies from southern and western Finland were interviewed for the study. Theme interviews were conducted during June and August. Qualitative content analysis was used in the analysis. The names of the interviewees and the identification information of the companies have been anonymized in the transcription process.
According to the results of the study, team resilience has a significant impact on how teams cope with change, because the importance of social support and performance during change has been significant for teams. The results indicate that the factors affecting team resilience and coping with change are 1) change management and leader’s resilience, 2) attitude towards change, 3) open, confidential, communal and supportive team culture, 4) the ability to execute and 5) commitment to a common goal.
The author of thesis will use results of the research when she is building the first coaching package of a future business. In addition, the study provided information and confirmed the theory about the importance of team resilience in a changing situation. The results of the thesis will certainly help other companies in case of future change situations and the development of the team's resilience. Author of thesis thinks that she managed to answer the research question of the thesis. An interesting topic for further research would be research on how the second wave of the corona pandemic affects the resilience of the team and what possible differences in the results from the first study would be noted
