Eliza Calvert Hall: Kentucky Author and Suffragist
No full textIn 1907, the author, poet, essayist, and folk art historian Eliza Calvert Hall (1856–1935) published Aunt Jane of Kentucky, a collection of stories about rural life infused with the spirit and gentle good humor of its elderly narrator, Aunt Jane. The book and several sequels achieved wide popularity and placed Hall in the front ranks of “local color” fiction writers of her time. As Hall struggled to balance her writing career with the duties of a nineteenth-century wife and mother, suffragist Laura Clay was lobbying for every woman’s right to vote. Hall joined the battle, writing fearlessly in support of suffrage and equality. While her passionate essays served as a direct appeal for this cause, her creative writing also carried a feminist spirit, celebrating the strength, humor, love, and art of the common woman. In Eliza Calvert Hall, Lynn E. Niedermeier tells the story of this remarkable Kentucky woman for the first time.
Supplies a valuable history of the women\u27s rights movement in Kentucky, and also introduces the reader to an overlooked author of compassionate and witty fiction. -- Bonnie Jean Cox, former director of the University of Kentucky\u27s Women and Gender Studies programhttps://digitalcommons.wku.edu/dlsc_books/1000/thumbnail.jp

The state and perspectives of development of bioeconomy in Wielkopolska voivodeship
No full textWydział Nauk Geograficznych i GeologicznychCelem pracy była diagnoza stanu i określenie możliwości wsparcia rozwoju biogospodarki w województwie wielkopolskim. Problem wyznaczały zadania badawcze o charakterze empirycznym, do których należały: przedstawienie wybranych elementów wskazujących na rozwój sektora biogospodarki w Europie i na świecie; identyfikacja podmiotów gospodarczych i liczby pracujących w biogospodarce w województwie wielkopolskim; określenie i analiza najważniejszych działów gospodarki istotnych dla rozwoju biogospodarki w województwie; rozpoznanie nowoczesnych działalności w biogospodarce w województwie wielkopolskim; wskazanie czynników lokalizacji podmiotów działających w biotechnologii i bioenergetyce w województwie wielkopolskim; analiza sposobów wsparcia biogospodarki przez jednostki naukowe, samorządowe i otoczenia biznesu. Zakres przestrzenny obejmował obszar województwa wielkopolskiego. Zakres czasowy dotyczył lat 2008-2016. Biogospodarka jest sektorem, który obejmuje tradycyjne działy gospodarki narodowej m.in. takie jak: rolnictwo, leśnictwo, rybołówstwo, rybactwo, przemysł (np. spożywczy, meblowy, produkujący wyroby z drewna) oraz działalności nowoczesne, do których należą: biotechnologia rolnicza, medyczna, przemysłowa i środowiskowa. Tradycyjne działy gospodarki narodowej (zgodne z klasyfikacją PKD) funkcjonujące w biogospodarce wykorzystują w swej działalności zasoby przyrodnicze. Nowoczesne działalności integrują nauki inżynieryjne z naukami biologicznymi.The aim of the dissertation was to diagnose the condition and determine the possibilities of supporting the development of the bioeconomy in the Wielkopolska voivodeship. The problem was determined by empirical research tasks, which included: presentation of elements that indicate the development of the bioeconomy sector in Europe and in the world; identification of the number of business entities and the number of employees in the bioeconomy in the Wielkopolska voivodship; identification and analysis the sectors of the economy that are important for the development of the bioeconomy in the voivodship; recognition of modern activities in the bioeconomy in the Wielkopolska voivodship; indication of location factors of enterprises operating in the biotechnology as well as bioenergy in the voivodship; analysis of ways of supporting the bioeconomy by scientific units, local government units and the business environment institutions. The spatial scope covered the area of the Wielkopolska voivodship. Time range included years 2008-2016. Bioeconomy is a sector that includes traditional branches of the national economy, such as: agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry (e.g. food, furniture, wood products) and modern activities, including agricultural, medical, industrial and environmental biotechnology. Traditional branches use natural resources. Modern activities integrate engineering and biological sciences
Factors affecting the location of wind power plants in Poland
No full textWydział Geografii Społeczno-Ekonomicznej i Gospodarki PrzestrzennejGłównym celem pracy była identyfikacja czynników lokalizacji elektrowni wiatrowych występujących w Polsce. Analizę przeprowadzono w szczególności pod kątem atrakcyjności gmin dla lokalizacji tego typu instalacji. W pracy umiejscowiono sektor energetyki wiatrowej w teorii lokalizacji oraz skonstruowano model lokalizacji elektrowni wiatrowych. Ponadto, na podstawie sformułowanej definicji czynnika lokalizacji elektrowni wiatrowych, dokonano uporządkowania i podziału zidentyfikowanych czynników. W części empirycznej pracy określono siłę wpływu oraz hierarchię analizowanych czynników lokalizacji o charakterze przestrzennym na lokalizację elektrowni wiatrowych. Działanie to umożliwiło skonstruowanie wskaźnika określającego atrakcyjność gmin dla lokalizacji elektrowni wiatrowych, na podstawie którego określono tę atrakcyjność. Formułując wzór uznano, iż elektrownie wiatrowe należy lokalizować na terenach otwartych o dobrych warunkach energetycznych wiatru, na których możliwa jest minimalizacja konfliktów społecznych związanych z sąsiedztwem turbin, o niewielkim lub zerowym udziale obszarów cennych przyrodniczo, o odpowiedniej strukturze grup obszarowych gospodarstw i niskich kosztach związanych z przyłączeniem do sieci. Ponad połowa całkowitej powierzchni obszarów wiejskich kraju została zaliczona do klasy 4 (średnio atrakcyjna) lub 5 (bardzo atrakcyjna). Cel aplikacyjny polegał na sformułowaniu rekomendacji mogących przyczynić się do kontrolowanego, planowego rozwoju lądowej energetyki wiatrowej w Polsce.The main purpose of this thesis is to identify criteria affecting the location of wind power plants in Poland. The analysis is carried out with respect to attractiveness of municipalities for the location of this kind of installations. The paper places the wind energy sector in the theories of location. Consecutively, the model of location of wind power plants is constructed. Furthermore, based on the provided definition of the location factor, all the identified factors are ordered and divided. The empirical part of the thesis focuses on determining the influence of analysed spatial location factors and their hierarchy on the location of wind power plants. Such an action paves the way to construing the indicator determining the attractiveness of municipalities for the location of wind power plants, which helps calculate this attractiveness. It is stated that wind power plants should be built in open fields (utilised agricultural area) with good wind power in such a way so as to diminish possible social unrests stemming from their proximity, while leaving precious natural areas untouched and considering the possibility of location by means of spatial groups of farms (so as to reduce the costs of connecting to the grid). More than half of the total rural areas in the country are said to be class 4 (moderately attractive) or class 5 (very attractive). The application aim is to give recommendations conducive to the planned and controlled development of land wind energy in Poland
The mission of Mary Eliza Haweis (1848-1898)
No full textThis thesis reclaims the author and illustrator Mary Eliza Haweis and is the first study to bring together the various facets of her career including published literature, unpublished writings, and memoranda. The current presentation of Haweis in scholarship is one-dimensional – Haweis is a connoisseur of women’s fashion, a female aesthete. Her other literary outputs, mentioned anecdotally, tie her casually to the Suffrage movement. The first aim of this thesis is to fill the gap in the current understanding of this under-researched woman writer. Secondly, this thesis will showcase a way to recover marginalised women writers that reads across modes and which challenges binaries, including the categories of feminist and anti-feminist.
Haweis’ mission – the empowerment of women - is like a mosaic. It is made up of many pieces, sometimes fragmentary, and this thesis encapsulates a range of the writer’s works to produce a rich, comprehensive work of recovery. Haweis’ writings, which span 1848 to 1898, cover both the domestic and political lives of women in the nineteenth century. She wrote of dress, furniture, housekeeping, unionising, the right to vote, and divorce. Haweis’ works present seemingly conflicting ideas, some traditional and others progressive, and it is this which is significant to the scholarship of marginalised women writers. The academic work on recovering such women writers is extensive, yet it has been criticised for “producing reductive versions of their oeuvres, which highlight politically pleasing utterances and gloss over the rest” (Schaffer 11). This study starts at the end of Haweis’ career with the last work published in her lifetime, her “politically pleasing” novel A Flame of Fire (1897), and then works backwards to tease out a complex presentation of Haweis. This thesis ultimately demonstrates how Haweis and her works challenge, thwart, and expand upon the existing categories in feminism and women’s writing
