A History of Glass. Peter Carey's "Oscar and Lucinda"
No full textThe novel "Oscar and Lucinda", published in 1988 by the Australian author Peter Carey, challenges the idea of history both as an ideological construction and as a sum of received ideas. The aim of the essay is to show how Carey succeeds in rewriting Australian history by telling a story set in Victorian England and in mid-XIXth century Australia
Etnografia della transizione culturale nelle comunità San del Kalahari
No full textDuring her palaeoanthropological and ethnoarchaeological research at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, between 2007 and 2014, Lucinda Backwell privately collected a significant amount of objects produced by the San communities who currently live in Kalahari reserves, assigned to them by the governments of Botswana and Namibia: the villages around Tsumkwe, in the Nyae Nyae Conservancy, the village of Kacgae in the district of Ghanzi and the Transfrontier Park on the border between Botswana and South Africa. Initially motivated by the desire to offer some economic support to the communities by purchasing some products of their craftsmanship, the author realized that it would be important to document the culture of the San and the elements in transition. With this in mind, she put together a collection of over 400 artifacts, which in 2018 she donated to the Natural History Museum of Florence. This work aims to document the collection and highlight its ethnographic meaning, considering the archaeological traces that attest to the antiquity of the San culture, and the evidence on the current living conditions of a people threatened in their survival.Fil: Zavattaro, Monica.

The Display of Woman Independence in Lucinda Grace’s Books and Bribes
No full textThis research explores the themes of feminism in a novel written by Lucinda Race entitled “Books and Bribes” in 2023. This novel focuses Lily, the main character’s investigation in a murder case. Lily has a role of female detective in this novel. In this research, the author analyzes how the female characters in this novel, particularly Lily, are capable of doing investigation of murder case without too much reliance on the male characters. By doing close reading, this research uses the qualitative method and descriptive analysis to analyze the novel. The data and primary source of this research is the novel itself. In this research, the author analyzes how women’s independence as one of the sub topic for feminism displayed throughout the story. This research discovered that women’s independence in this novel are displayed in two ways. The first one is witch as the representation of feminism, and the second is independent relationship
Advanced Iridium-Based Catalysts: Design and Characterization for Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers
No full textTitle: Advanced Iridium-Based Catalysts: Design and Characterization for Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers. Author: Mgr. Lucinda Blanco Redondo. Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University. Supervisor: Mgr. Yevheniia Lobko, Ph.D. Abstract: Developing efficient and durable bifunctional catalysts is essential for advancing hydrogen production and energy storage technologies, including Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers (PEMWE) and Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells (URFCs). This doctoral thesis investigates iridium-based catalysts, focusing on iridium-decorated platinum nanoparticles for URFCs and titanium-supported iridium nanoparticles for PEMWEs. Iridium-decorated platinum nanoparticles with several Ir-to-Pt ratios (Ir10/Pt90, Ir20/Pt80, and Ir40/Pt60) were studied to determine the catalyst composition that optimizes the performance for oxygen reduction (ORR) and evolution reactions (OER). Among these, Ir40/Pt60 exhibited the highest OER mass activity (571.4 mA mgIr⁻¹), while Ir20/Pt80 demonstrated enhanced bifunctional efficiency (57.7%), making it the most promising URFC catalyst. For PEMWEs, iridium nanoparticles supported on TiO2, TiC, and TiN were evaluated. Ir/TiO2 and Ir/TiC achieved improved OER..
