Beyond the Catholic-Protestant divide : religious and ethnic diversity in the North and South of Ireland
No full textPaper presented to the IBIS conference Old structures, new beliefs: religion, community and politics in contemporary Ireland, University College Dublin, 15 May 2003.This paper explores the challenges posed by the ethnic diversification of contemporary Irish society for conventional understandings of and responses to issues of religion, community and politics. It argues that the particularities of social and institutional histories and structures in the North and South have eclipsed wider considerations of both race and ethnicity and religious identity beyond the Catholic-Protestant divide. This has, in turn, served to obscure the many dynamic changes that such diversity has catalysed both within Irish civil society generally, and within the island’s traditional religious institutions themselves. The paper discusses the promises and potentials of conceptualising religion or religious identity and the relationships between religion and ethnicity within broader cultural and political fields, and their implications for the “new” (multicultural) Ireland.Not applicableti -TS 07.07.10

Toward a Taxonomy and Computational Models of Abnormalities in Images
No full textThe human visual system can spot an abnormal image, and reason about what makes it strange. This task has not received enough attention in computer vision. In this paper we study various types of atypicalities in images in a more comprehensive way than has been done before. We propose a new dataset of abnormal images showing a wide range of atypicalities. We design human subject experiments to discover a coarse taxonomy of the reasons for abnormality. Our experiments reveal three major categories of abnormality: object-centric, scene-centric, and contextual. Based on this taxonomy, we propose a comprehensive computational model that can predict all different types of abnormality in images and outperform prior arts in abnormality recognition.Peer reviewe
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Compliance Motivations: Comment on Feldman
No full textThe author discusses extrinsic and intrinsic compliance motivations. She focuses on an essay by Yuval Feldman which claims that extrinsic motivation potentially acts in concert with or undermines intrinsic motivation. She also notes that deeper considerations for multiple motivations can add nuance and accuracy to the understanding of litigant behavior
"Words and music" of Beckett and Feldman
No full textThe article analyses the radio play by Samuel Beckett with musical arrangement provided by Morton Feldman, focussing on a particular relationship developing between the characters described in stage directions as Words and Music. The part of Words develops over the course of the play, which stands in opposition to the process which, according to Giambattista Vico, occurs in the historic development of language. However, the pre-linguist stage remains unattained. Feldman’s music proves capable of reaching this phase as it is preserved by the author in a condition which has been linked, in Julia Kristeva’s theory, with semiotic modality

A Study of the Dynamic Effects on the Design Loads of Civil Aircraft
No full textThis paper addresses the effects of a fully dynamic approach to determine the design loads of a mid-size business jet. The study is conducted by considering the fuselage midsection of the DAEDALOS aircraft model with landing impact conditions. This study aims to compare the loads levels obtained with the cuasi-static approach usually used in the aircraft design process with a novel full dynamic method of analysis. The comparison is presented in terms of stress levels between the novel dynamic approach and the standard design practice based on the use of equivalent static loads. The results illustrate that a slight reduction of the load levels can be achieved, but a careful modelling of the damping level is needed. Guidelines for an improved load definition are discussed, and suggestions for future research activities are provided
Syrische Wechsellieder von Narses
No full textIn this volume, Feldman gives the Syriac text of eight dialogue poems (sogyatha) by Narsai together with a German translation. The poems, here printed in the East Syriac script, were edited from a Berlin manuscript. The poems are conversations between the following speakers: 1. Mary and the Magi; 2. The angel Gabriel and Mary; 3. John the Baptist and Jesus; 4. The crowd, John the Baptist, and Herod; 5. Cyril and Nestorius; 6. Cain and Abel; 7. The Pharisees and Jesus; and 8. The Persian King and some martyrs. Any readers interested in these biblical and church history topics, as well as students of Syriac literature in general, will find this unique volume worthy of study.Translated into German from Syriac
La influencia de la responsabilidad social empresarial en el comportamiento de compra de los consumidores de chocolate de Lima Metropolitana mayores de 51 años
No full textEs claro que la responsabilidad social empresarial ha venido ganando relevancia a
nivel internacional y en el Perú. Algunos estudios, como el del Dr. Percy Samoel Marquina
Feldman, han permitido conocer su impacto en el consumidor. Esta investigación busca
evidencias sobre la influencia que la responsabilidad social empresarial tiene en el
comportamiento de compra de los consumidores de chocolate mayores de 51 años en Lima
Metropolitana. Se llevó a cabo un experimento bajo la metodología de los Modelos de
Elección Discreta con el propósito de cuantificar la intención de compra y la disposición a
pagar por las acciones de responsabilidad social desarrolladas por las empresas. El
experimento se realizó utilizando una muestra por conveniencia de 132 consumidores de
chocolate mayores de 51 años en Lima Metropolitana.
Esta tesis es una ampliación del alcance de la investigación doctoral del profesor
Percy Samoel Marquina Feldman, La influencia de la responsabilidad social empresarial en
el comportamiento de compra de los consumidores peruanos (CENTRUM, Centro de
Negocios de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, Lima, 2009). Asimismo, busca
validar si la relación identificada originalmente por el profesor Marquina también se presenta
en la categoría de chocolate para personas mayores de 51 años, tal como el autor lo sugiere en
sus recomendaciones finales. Con la autorización del autor, se han utilizado partes de su tesis,
particularmente las que se refieren a la revisión de la literatura y el método. Los resultados de
la investigación brindan evidencia empírica de la relación positiva entre la responsabilidad
social empresarial y el comportamiento de compra de los consumidores de chocolate mayores
de 51 años en Lima Metropolitana.The Social Responsibility Enterprise is gaining relevance and importance around the
world and our country is no stranger to this reality. Some studies, like the investigation done
by Dr. Percy Samoel Marquina Feldman, has let us know its impact about the consumer. This
investigation try to find evidences about the influence that the Social Responsibility
Enterprise have in the purchase behavior of consumers of chocolate, who are more than 51
years old, in Lima Metropolitana. An experiment was performed under the methodology of
discrete choice models in order to quantify the purchase intention and the willingness to pay
for the responsibility social actions carried out for the enterprises. This experiment used a
convenient sample of 132 consumers of chocolate, who are more than 51 years old, in Lima
Metropolitana.
This tesis is an extension of the alcance of the investigation done by Percy Marquina
Feldman, La influencia de la responsabilidad social empresarial en el comportamiento de
compra de los consumidores peruanos (CENTRUM, Centro de Negocios de la Pontificia
Universidad Católica del Perú, Lima, 2009). Further, tried to find the validation if the
identified reality in a beginning by the Marquina professor is the same in the chocolate
category, for the people who are more than 51 years old as the author refers in his final
recomendations. With the author permission, we used parts of his doctoral tesis, in particular
the parts about the literature review and the methodology. Empirical results obtained provide
evidence about the positive relationship between the Social Responsibility Enterprise and the
purchase behavior of consumers of chocolate, who are more than 51 years old, in Lima
Metropolitana.Tesi
