    Full text link
    Novel 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. Resensi ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran secara umum mengenai isi sebuah novel. Dalam meresensi sebuah novel, penting adanya sebuah ulasan mengenai unsur intrinsik seperti tema, alur, latar, penokohan, perwatakan, amanat, dan sudut pandang serta unsur ekstrinsik yang berupa faktor sosial dan psikologis pengarang yang sangat mempengaruhi gaya seorang pengarang dalam menyampaikan suatu kisah. Peresensi hanya menunjukkan gambaran umumnya dan pembacalah yang kemudian memberikan penilaian mengenai kualitas sebuah novel. Project ini memberikan sedikit ulasan tentang kelebihan dan kelemahan Matilda yang disertai dengan biografi singkat pengarangnya. Melalui resensi ini, pembaca dapat memahami sekilas tentang isi dari novel Matilda beserta pengarang dan beberapa karyanya

    Matilda of Canossa

    Full text link
    Matilda 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

    Tiimin resilienssikyky koronapandemian aikana

    Full text link
    Tässä 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

    Pioneering a new era: designers at the crossroads of design and AI

    Full text link
    The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked public interest and widespread discussions regarding its integration into society. However, despite the rapid advancements in AI and the emerging opportunities for innovation in design, there is still a lack of understanding about how designers perceive and incorporate AI tools into their design workflows. This research aims to capture the moment when AI and design intersect and to gain a better understanding of how designers can effectively use these new tools to enhance their work. Through a comprehensive study, including a survey (n=49), focus groups (n=6), and interviews (n=6), this research explores this shift in designers' identity and workflow. Investigating designers' attitudes towards AI, their acceptance and use of AI in their design processes, and AI's impact on their creativity. The research found that designers perceive several benefits in adapting AI in their design projects, including enhanced creativity, improved efficiency, and the ability to automate tedious tasks. However, several participants expressed unease about integrating AI into areas that are considered deeply human, such as art. Despite these concerns, AI tools are already extensively employed in design, and AI is increasingly being depicted as a collaborator. Based on the research findings, it is imperative to incorporate more participatory measures in order to establish ethical guidelines and increase transparency in the use of AI in design. This research aims to bridge the knowledge gap regarding how designers perceive and incorporate AI into their workflows, offering insights into the evolving relationship between AI and design innovation

    The Art of Inventing Matilda of Canossa

    Full text link
    abstract: Matilda of Canossa (1046 to 1115), the Great Countess of Tuscany, was a noblewoman, a warrior, and a papal supporter who later generations adapted to satisfy a variety of cultural and ideological interests. Matilda's life as a ruler was amplified over the following five hundred years in an avalanche of words and images that served many purposes. This thesis considers the art produced during her lifetime in the context of disputes over papal authority, as well as art produced about Matilda subsequently. The study includes a discussion of her appearance in Dante's Comedy; her importance to Florentine artists such as Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo Buonarroti in the 16th century; and concludes with the significance of the elaborate tomb sculpted for her reburial by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in St. Peter's Cathedral. An examination of Matilda through these shifting representations from the 12th to the 17th century enables an understanding of how and why she became an impressive symbol in the visual arts. Finally, the study examines the process through which a strong, powerful woman was transformed from an historical person to a legend. Matilda's remarkable life and myth is still relevant to art historical, religious and cultural studies because of the pervasiveness of her influence a millennium after her death.Dissertation/ThesisM.A. Art History 201

    She Can Do It: Messages of Female Empowerment in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Roald Dahl’s Matilda

    Full text link
    This research evaluates notions of empowerment, agency, and feminization found in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Roald Dahl’s Matilda. Current conversations about these texts fail to address the three-pronged relationship between author, character, and reader. Through close readings of the source texts, applying feminist theory to the texts, and examining the complex power relationships between author and character and author and reader, the research concludes that both Alice and Matilda are empowering stories
