An analytical study of the theatre of the Syrian playwright Saadallah Wannous, with particular emphasis on the plays written after the 1967 war
No full textThis study is an examination of the life and work of
the Syrian dramatist Saadallah Wannous (1941-1997). Wannous's name is virtually unknown in the West; only two academic studies of any significance have appeared in English on this eminent and challenging writer, who was honoured by UNESCO at the end of his life. Even in the Arab world his standing rests largely upon his celebrity as a cultural icon, since professional performances of his plays are rare due to the decline of the theatre in the region, and little attention has been devoted to theatre studies by Arab academics. The two studies in English do not attempt to be comprehensive but focus on particular stages of Wannous's career. This study is, therefore, the first to encompass the full range of Wannous's work. To do so it combines an account of his life which seeks to comprehend the various forces that shaped his thinking with an analysis of his dramatic works. The study concentrates on the plays written in the years following the trauma inflicted on the Arab world by the catastrophe of their
defeat in the Arab-Israeli war of June, 1967. Wannous's career can be divided into three phases: the immature plays of his young manhood which are influenced by European models and generally focus on the social condition of the individual; his middle period - the `theatre of politicisation', when his Marxist politics were the main
factor shaping his drama; and his late works, which are characterised by an extraordinary freedom of thought and expression. The introduction places Wannous in his historical and sociocultural context and provides a brief background explaining the literary and theatrical traditions of the Arab world that influenced his activity as a dramatist. Each phase is then examined in turn and the plays are analysed in accordance with the focus of the study. This means that emphasis is given to the middle period,
but no significant work is neglected. The study aims to trace the trajectory of Wannous's development using a
variety of sources: the plays themselves, Wannous's own journalism and critical writings, interviews with his widow, his friends and colleagues, and numerous
journals, books and articles, some of which contain
important interviews with Wannous that shed light on his thought and ways of working. Use is also made of the
two studies mentioned above. The study shows that Wannous's theatre was influenced by the key political, social and cultural developments of his time, and that he
constantly sought to find forms that would express those transformations in dramatic terms

Cultural aspects of multi-channel customer management: A case study in Italy
No full textChannel management is one of CRM systems component much influenced by the behaviour of customers in relation to its implementation and use. The consumers’ behaviours, preferences, perceptions and expectations are crucial for the implementation and use of channel management. Customers’ contact with the organization’s multi-channels can occur at several touch points throughout the customer lifecycle. Customers’ behaviours may be differentiated according to the individual or micro level, but it might also differ at an ecological or macro level of analysis (Ramaseshan et al., 2006). In this paper the author has conducted a case study in a multinational organization in Italy to analyze customers’ behaviours at a macro level and customers channel choices, through out the customer lifecycle. The author has used a content analysis technique to define the themes of the case study and then used the Structurational Analysis model by Ali and Brooks, (2008) to identify the cultural values dimensions (Ali, et al. 2008a) that influence multi-channel customer management in Italy. The research findings highlight the cultural dimensions, which should be considered while adopting multi-channel customer strategy. Also, the research findings encourage the articulation of situated cultural approach to study cultural impact within IS discipline as alternative approach than predefined culture archetype
Online non-rigid motion and scene layer segmentation
No full textIn the past, different kinds of methods were devised to detect objects from videos. Based on the assumption of stationary camera, the now ubiquitous background subtraction learns the appearance of the background and then subtracts it to segment the scene. In practice such assumption is highly restrictive, and to handle moving cameras other methods were devised. For instance, motion segmentation targets the segmentation of different rigid motions in the video, while scene layer segmentation attempts to find a segmentation of the scene into layers that are consistent in space and time. Yet, such methods still suffers from other limitations such as the requirement of point trajectories to span the entire frame sequence. On a different aspect, recent years have witnessed a large increase in the proportion of videos coming from streaming sources such as TV Broadcast, Internet video streaming, and streaming from mobile devices. Unfortunately, most methods that process videos are mainly offline and with a high computational complexity. Thus rendering them ineffective for processing videos from streaming sources. This highlights the need for novel techniques that are online and efficient at the same time. In this dissertation, we first generalize motion segmentation by showing that under a general perspective camera trajectories belonging to one moving object form a low-dimensional manifold. Based on this, we devise two methods for online nonrigid motion segmentation. The first method tries to explicitly reconstruct the low-dimensional manifolds and then cluster them. The second method attempts to directly separate the manifolds. We then show how motion segmentation and scene layer segmentation can be combined in a single online framework that combines the strength of both approaches. Finally, we propose two methods that assign figure- ground labels to layers by combining several cues. Results show that our framework is effective in detecting moving objects from videos captured by a moving camera.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Ali E. Elqurs
Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes

A research about the real author of Marzbanname Tabari
No full textMarzbanname is the name of a book which includes narrations and allegories and marzban wrote it in old tabari language. Mohammad Ibn Ghazi maltivi in 598 A.H. and sadoddin varavini in the first half of seventh century translated it to farsi. Onsorolma' ali keykavos, the writer of Ghaboosname and Ibn Esfandyar, the writer of tarikhe – Tabarestam believe that marzban ibne Rostam ibne shervin (the 13th king of Bavandiya kiyosiye chain) in the real writer of marzbanname. But sa'daddin varavini believes that marzban ibne shervin (shervin = 5th king of Bavandiye kiyosiye) is the writer of it. Reza Gholi khane – hedayat knows marzban- Ibn – e – rostam as the outher of marzban-e-Deylami in some other books. Among the contemporaries, shefer knows marzban-ibn –e-rostam-ibn –e- sorkhab – ibn – e- Gharan as the author of marzban name, but Allame Ghazvini rejects this hierarchical order. Allame Dehkhoda, Esmaeil mahjouri, Ardeshir Barzegar and Hossein Eslami believe that marzban- ibn- e- Rostam wrote maezban name. mohammad Roshan reject all and say that there is no book named marzban name tabari.This article believes that varavini's speech about the writer of marzbanname is correct but not of onsorolma' ali keykavoos and ibne Esfandyar's speech
