Francisco de Paula Castañeda, amanuensis and author
Get PDFEl periódico rioplatense Doña María Retazos (1821-1823) fue creado, escrito, impreso y distribuido por el sacerdote franciscano Francisco de Paula Castañeda (1776-1832), escritor y actor político fundamental de la década revolucionaria y de la tumultuosa y compleja década del 20. Un elemento constitutivo del texto es su altísimo carácter intertextual a través del cual aparece una figura de autor que se expone como scriptor de antiguallas teológicas, lecturas propias del barroco ibérico y de la ilustración francesa y española, entre otras, operación devenida, paradójicamente, en empresa moderna.Doña María Retazos, a newspaper from Río de la Plata (1821-1823), was created, written, printed and distributed by the franciscan priest Francisco de Paula Castañeda (1776-1832) a key political actor and writer of the revolutionary decade and of the tumultuous and complex ‘20s. One of the most important elements of the text is its high intertextual character through which Castañeda is exposed as amanuensis of theological antiques, readings of the Iberian Baroque and Spanish and French Illustration, among others; in this way, the amanuensis becomes author and his newspaper in to a modern enterprise
Paula Marshall, CEO of the Bama Companies, Inc. Discusses her Fascinating Deming Journey
No full textPaula Marshall is the CEO of the Bama Companies, Inc., a company that may be best known for being the single supplier of the famous Apple dessert pies to McDonalds. They are also ...an innovator and manufacturer of bakery products to some of the most well-known restaurant chains on the planet.
In this episode Paula discusses with Tripp her amazing journey as a CEO that took her company from being on the verge of going out of business to the thriving powerhouse it is today. The transformation of Paula and her company started when she attended her first Deming seminar. That seminar and the subsequent meetings and friendship with Dr. Deming, shaped the future of the company in a way she never imagined. Paula shares her journey with Dr. Deming and how personally difficult it was to go against the very status quo management ideas she had learned and was using; in particular, learning the hard way how detrimental performance appraisals and the incentive based system are to an organization.
See http://www.bama.com for more information on Paula and the company. Paula is also an author of several books, including her personal story in Sweet as Pie, Tough as Nails.https://digitalcommons.butler.edu/deming_podcast/1007/thumbnail.jp

SMRSiMa:SMR Siting and Waste Management:Waste Management Considerations and Societal Acceptability
No full textSmall modular reactors (SMRs) are being considered in Finland for the production of low car-bon electricity and heat. Siting of the reactor facilities and management and disposal of the spent fuel and low- and intermediate level waste play an important role in the safe and sustainable deployment of SMR technology. The deployment process and waste management are guided by a regulatory framework, currently being updated in Finland. In addition, other factors such as applicability of current waste management methods and societal acceptability have an important role in this process.SMR Siting and Waste Management (SMRSiMa) is a coordinated project between VTT and Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) focusing on waste management of spent nuclear fuel produced in an SMR and in the siting and societal acceptability of an SMR plant and repository. In 2022, SMRSiMa received funding from both the SAFIR2022 and KYT2022 programmes. The work presented in this report focuses on topics linked to the regulatory framework, effect of SMR reactor design and spent fuel properties on waste management and on societal acceptability factors. SMR plant and repository siting is discussed separately in a report by GTK.The characteristics of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) play a crucial role in adapting the current disposal methods for SNF produced in a SMR. The method currently in use in Finland (KBS-3V) was originally designed solely for UO2 fuel with specific fuel characteristics. Adapting the method for SMR waste requires that the characteristics of the SNF are defined to a highly de-tailed level, including discharge burnup, decay heat power, photon emission rate (gamma radiation), mobile nuclide concentration, chemical characteristics and post-irradiation reactivity linked to criticality safety. For SMR designs based on current LWR technologies, the spent fuel may differ from that of existing, large LWRs due to the smaller size of the SMR core potentially leading to higher neutron leakage and in other reactor and fuel parameters (e.g., enrichment of the fuel). This report compares some of these basic parameters for number of LWR-SMRs potentially relevant for Finland.In order to quantify spent fuel characteristics, preliminary 2D calculations were made with two different example reactors (NuScale Power ModuleTM and Finnish heating reactor design LDR-50) with the continuous-energy Monte Carlo code Serpent in the previous phase of the project (Keto et al. 2022). Based on the 2D calculations, the main differences between the SMR and NPP spent fuels was linked to lower burnups in the SMRs. Considering waste management, the lower levels of decay heat and ionizing radiation could make the handling of the waste less demanding. However, 3D calculations were needed to determine the effect of the smaller SMR core size and to address further the potential uncertainties remaining with criticality safety. During 2022, Serpent 3 D calculation were made considering the LDR-50 reactor. Preliminary data shows some difference between the 2D and 3D cases, but since the calculations were per-formed with the start-up core, the results are notfully representative with respect to the total anticipated spent fuel inventory. Furthermore, due to difficulties linked with the heavy calculation process and difficulties in interpretation of the data, the presented results are rather coarse even with the model limitations. Calculations are continued within the next phase of the project.Considering an SMR that would be utilised for district heating purposes, the location of the site would be closer to a city than normal NPPs. This brings challenges considering the siting from the geological perspective, but also from societal acceptability point of view. Early engagement of stakeholders, civil society and public is required for successful SMR deployment and waste management
Habsburg Heritage in the Work of Paula von Preradović, the Author of the Austrian Anthem
Get PDFIn the study of the literature of the Republic of Austria and its imperial legacy the special significance is due to the work of Paula von Preradović (1887 – 1951). It is paradoxical that the author of the anthem of the Second Republic is considered to be nostalgic for the Habsburg Monarchy and its provinces.
The article argues that the postimperial legacy in the work of Paula von Preradović is not infused with negative connotations; however, a more thorough analysis shows that the interpretation arguing for a strong nostalgia for the Habsburg Empire is only provisionally tenable: in her first novel Pave und Pero (Pave and Pero) the central themes are the death of children, social differences, a sorry state of the contemporary wage workers and the philistine society. Nor is any retrospective utopia inscribed in her – primarily biographically based – lyrical inclination towards the coastal parts of the Danube Monarchy. In addition, the contribution also shows how the texts and their author stood in relation to the fascist regimes between the two Austrian republics which is a relevant question for the author of the most significant text symbolizing the state. The reception, which is extremely influenced by the perspective of one’s family, is therefore also corrected
