Long Xi Vlessing
No full textMy name is Long Xi Vlessing (龙喜; happy dragon) and I was born, and continue to live and work, on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including that of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations known as Vancouver. I work in many mediums, particularly photo and video, and am interested in explorative documents and storytelling, weaving personal narrative through depictions of the familiar and the undefined, friends and strangers, immediate family and random passerby, scenery and self. I grew up in a cross cultural household and find it important to explore both my experience as a half-Chinese, Jewish person and to feature diverse voices and people from my direct community in my work

Autografia ed epistolografia tra XI e XIII secolo: per un'analisi delle testimonianze sulla 'scrittura di propria mano'
No full text«Dear friend, I am writing this letter to you in my own hand...». Such are the declarations of medieval authors whose texts are here collected and analyzed. In a world where the vast majority of intellectuals did not write with their own hand, but rather employed a secretary who wrote under dictation, the epistolary milieu was one of the contexts in which the practice of autography and its valorization developed, foreshadowing their spread in the modern age. The letters often offer information concerning the circumstances in which they were written and the aims of their authors, and therefore constitute a suitable source; the analysis of the references to autography in Latin letter written between the beginning of the XI century and the first half of the XIII allows to examine the authors’ awareness of the possible uses and advantages of autography, and more generally their conception of writing and composing

Determinants of Institutional Long-Term Care in Germany. ENEPRI Research Report No. 115, 18 April 2012
No full textIn Germany the majority of people in need of care are living at home with the help of their family and/or professional carers. Admission into a nursing is seen as the last step. Caregiving in nursing homes is required if caregiving at home is not possible due to the absence of an informal carer or cannot be provided to the required degree, in particular if the recipient suffers from mental illnesses or if around-the-clock-care and advice is required. Residents in nursing homes are therefore on average older than people living at home, the share of females is higher and the level of dependency is also higher. Underlying diseases have a significant influence on nursing home admissions, in particular dementia, Parkinson`s disease, stroke and malignant tumours
O “Chinese Dream” na estratégia de política externa da China sob o governo de Xi Jinping: percepções em textos e discursos
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Sócio-Econômico. Relações Internacionais.A presente monografia possui como objetivo geral identificar a influência do “Chinese Dream” na estratégia de política externa da China sob o governo de Xi Jinping, baseando-se na interpretação de discursos. O “Chinese Dream” é um termo cunhado por Xi Jinping desde o momento em que assume a secretaria-geral do Partido Comunista da China em 2012 e a presidência de seu país em 2013. A partir da observação participante deste autor, percebe-se o impacto da formulação desse termo sobre a identidade e os interesses do povo e do Estado em questão. Observa-se que o “Chinese Dream” corresponde ao objetivo de atingir o rejuvenescimento nacional, e a partir disso emergem metas que, quando alcançadas, simbolizarão a realização desse sonho, a exemplo dos Dois Objetivos Centenários. Partindo desse entendimento, opta-se por uma abordagem Construtivista para compreender as influências dessas ideias no desenvolvimento da política externa chinesa, ressaltando-se a relevância do discurso na construção social. Revisando-se artigos de Yan Xuetong e Qin Yaqing, vê-se que discordam entre si acerca de um novo posicionamento adotado para as relações internacionais recentes: enquanto o primeiro enxerga uma política externa com mudanças consideráveis, mais assertiva e caracterizada pela estratégia do “Striving for Achievement”, o segundo também enxerga alterações, porém não concorda com Yan quanto ao rompimento da nova estratégia para com a anterior, do “Manter o Low Profile”. Visto isso, utilizar-se-á a metodologia de análise interpretativa em três textos de políticos relevantes para a condução da política externa chinesa para concluir como o “Chinese Dream” é utilizado no discurso, buscando evidências da contribuição para assertividade ou não. Por fim, as conclusões trarão que o uso desse termo se vincula a uma postura propositiva

L’influenza dell’epistolografia per l’affermazione dell’ autografia d’autore (sec. XI-XIII)
No full textWhat is an autograph? How is it possible to define it? And how can we distinguish the hand of the writer, scientist, or translator - that is, of the learned person setting down his thoughts - from the hand of a pupil or copyist trained in the same style? Autographs have long been an especially challenging area of research into medieval manuscripts, for the finished product is intimately linked to both the author’s thought and his hand. Many well-known medieval authors had already been accorded scientific representations and became known as a result of these. They were joined by new names, a fact which widens the scope of research in the field of autographs and invites new questions. The XVIIth Colloquium of the Comité International de Paléographie Latine, which was held in Ljubljana between 7th and 10th September, 2010, was dedicated to autographs. In addition to scientific contributions by established paleographers, historians, literary and art historians, there were also inspiring papers by younger researchers. The colloquium was receptive to the presentation of new methods and processes of research into medieval manuscripts in general. These Proceedings of the XVIIth Colloquium contain 37 scientific papers documented with 239 illustrations as well as with further graphic elements.The aim of this ongoing research is to suggest and try to demonstrate the importance of epistolography as a testing ground for the practice of autography and for the elaboration of theories about its value and usefulness.
The purposes could be very different, as well as the contexts: in the case of a letter that contained important (for example, political) information it could be the need for secrecy or the will to confer authority to the text, even if it had not the formal elements of a document. Another possible interpretation of autography, as a token of affection, has its roots in classical antiquity (Cicero, Seneca) and seems to resurface in the middle ages and especially in these centuries, in which it is possible to trace the development of a peculiar conception of writing as a somewhat personal and often intimate activity. A third domain is religious: not only autography could be seen a proof of humility, but autograph letters could be perceived as “relics” containing a mark of the spiritual charisma of their authors - hence the stories of miracles performed by saints’ letters, but also the practice of writing autograph letters of blessing.
The letter-collections appear as a very suitable source for such a reconstruction of the context in which some authors started to write with their own hand; moreover, identifying declarations of autography or other references to autograph letters in the texts allows us to value the cultural importance of these cases even when the manuscripts did not reach us
Assessing Sino-Mongolian Relations under Xi Jinping\ue2s First Term (2012-2017)
No full textThis thesis analyses complex relations between China and Mongolia, particularly during the first term of Xi Jinping being in power from 2012 to 2017. This period was chosen because Xi Jinping brought major changes in China\ue2s foreign policy. Xi emphasizes on the importance of periphery diplomacy. China under Xi is working towards improving relations with Asian countries by introducing a number of \ue2win-win projects\ue2. Most notably, the \ue2One Belt, One Road\ue2 promises to bring prosperity and wealth to all the countries involved. This thesis studies the effect of the Sino-initiated projects on Mongolia. Economic benefits to Mongolia are substantial; however, this thesis mentions the costs as well. With the help of books, research articles, journals, and online newspaper articles from diverse countries including Mongolia, the author was able to summarize the history of Sino-Mongolian relations as well as analyze the contemporary trade and social relations between China and Mongolia. The author applies the concept of dependency and uses the notion of national interest to interpret Sino-Mongolian diplomatic relations. In addition, Mongolia\ue2s use of \ue2third neighbor\ue2 policy of foreign relations as a tool of balancing China\ue2s growing power is discussed by looking at its relations with Russia, Japan, and the USA
