North Park Street Roundabouts design plan : archaeological resource impact assessment : geotechnical monitoring
No full textIn June 2013, Davis MacIntyre & Associates (DM&A) Ltd. was contracted by GENIVAR Inc. on behalf of the Halifax Regional Municipality as part of a project to design roundabout conversions at the intersections of North Park / Rainnie / Cogswell / Trollope / Ahern and North Park / Cunard / Agricola in Halifax. The first phase of the archaeological component of this project included mapping and a summary of potentially significant archaeological areas and features within the study area, for which a previous report was submitted in July 2013. In response to recommendations following the initial assessment, Davis MacIntyre & Associates Limited was again retained to conduct monitoring of geotechnical testing within the footprints of the proposed roundabouts. Four geotechnical test pits were excavated.
This assessment was conducted under Category C (Archaeological Resource Impact Assessment) Heritage Research Permit 2013NS055 issued by the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage. This report conforms to the standards required by the Heritage Division under the Special Places Protection Act (R.S., c. 438, s. 1)
Leader narratives in Scottish banking: an Aristotelian approach
No full textThe banking sector has been under public scrutiny since the credit crisis of 2007/8, and a range of diagnoses and cures have been offered, particularly in terms of regulatory and financial structures. In the public media, much comment has been made about ethics in the sector, but this has provoked surprisingly little response from academic researchers. This thesis explores the crisis in banking as a moral one, taking Alasdair MacIntyre’s account of virtue ethics as a framework for understanding the careers of Scottish banking leaders.
The method used for the study is narrative, and depends both on MacIntyre’s philosophy of tradition-constituted enquiry, and on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutics. Conversations were held with ten leaders of Scottish banking whose careers typically span between 25 and 40 years, and the record of those conversations forms the primary data set for the research.
The resulting narratives are frank, rich descriptions of deeply felt changes in a particular mode of working life. This was a way of life characterised up until the 1980s by a well-defined status within local communities, professional expertise and a well-ordered tradition. The deregulation of banking and subsequent structural and technological changes to retail banking services eroded that professional tradition, and replaced it with new modes of work dominated by institutional priorities of sales, profit and growth, rather than by an ethic of professional expertise and customer service.
The thesis finds that there are structural barriers to the recovery of a professional ethic in banking. It offers new perspectives on the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, particularly in the application of his idea of traditions to mainstream economic activity. It also explores common ground between Gadamer and MacIntyre, proposing ways in which both philosophers can enhance our pursuit of qualitative empirical research

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Analysis Of Students Creative Thinking In Solving Transformation Geometry Problems
No full textCreative Thinking Is One Of The Goals Of Learning Mathematics. Where Creative Thinking In Solving Problems Has Many Benefits In Research Analyzes Students\u27 Creative Thinking In Everyday Life. But In Reality, Students Creative Thinking Is Still Low. Therefore, It Is Necessary To Identify Creative Thinking, Especially In The Problem Of Transformation Geometry. This Research Is A Descriptive Study With A Qualitative Approach Carried Out In Fourth Semester Of Mathematics Education In Stkip Sebelas April Sumedang. From The Results And Discussions That Have Been Done, It Can Be Concluded That Students\u27 Creative Thinking Is Inadequate, It Means That They Have Not Been Able To Go Through The Creative Thinking Stages Completely. Of 29 Students Who Were Given Questions, The Results Show None Of Them Who Completely Met The Creative Thinking Stage. The Author Suggests That In Supporting Students\u27 Creative Thinking, It Is Necessary To Develop A Learning Model That Involves Giving Problems And Finding Solutions At The Same Time
