‘He Sang the Story’ Narrative and Poetic Identity in Keats’s Work
No full textStory-telling is a mode central to the practice and achievement of John Keats. In ‘Sleep and Poetry’, he refers to life as ‘The reading of an ever-changing tale’. This line suggests his sense of the centrality of narrative to human experiences. Yet the Keatsian narrative is as a medium for Keats to investigate the nature and development of his poetic identity. His idea of poetry and of the poet, and his narrative figuring of himself as a poet are my subject, as they are his, when in the phrase the thesis takes for its title Keats writes of a poet in Endymion, ‘He sang the story up into the air’ (II, 838).
Recent scholarship has interpreted Keats’s narrative techniques in different ways. Critical approaches have modified the Bloomian concept of the anxiety of influence by using a reader response approach, or have taken on board or swerved from a McGannian New Historicist perspective. In the process Keats’s formal achievement, once celebrated by critics such as Walter Jackson Bate and Helen Vendler, has received comparatively little attention. This thesis, adopting ideas and approaches associated with narratology (including its application to lyric poetry), analyses Keats’s poetic career, focusing on the poetry’s narrative techniques and its treatment of the narrator’s role. My approach might be described as aiming to accomplish a ‘poetics of attention’.
This thesis consists of eight chapters. Chapter one discusses ‘I stood tip-toe upon a little hill’ and ‘Sleep and Poetry’, poems that are crucial in understanding Keats’s use of narrative to explore his poetic identity. In chapter two, concentrating on Endymion’s enactment of imaginative struggle, I attempt to show the purposeful function of the poem’s ‘wandering’ and complex narrative structure, which allows Keats space to develop and examine his beliefs about mythology, beauty, and visionary quest. Chapters three and four examine narrative techniques and the narrator’s role in ‘Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil’ and ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ as Keats questions the nature and function of ‘old Romance’, even as he employs it, thus bringing a modern self-consciousness to bear on his task. Chapters five and six are devoted to the narrativity shown in the odes. Such an exploration of the ‘lyric narrative’ seeks to shed new light on our understanding of Keats’s odes. Chapter seven considers the ambivalence that Keats creates in ‘Lamia’. Lamia’s enigmatic identity as a woman and a serpent makes the narrative complex and the narrator perplexed. Chapter eight analyses ‘Hyperion: A Fragment’ and ‘The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream’, arguing that Keats uses these two poems as narratives to explore his idea of poetry and of the poet.
In his short creative life, Keats demonstrates different and various narrative skills. These narrative skills shape his ideas and ideals of poetry as well as of the poet. Via his use of narrative, we are able to see the evolution of his poetic identity. He presents himself as what he recommended a poet should be, a shape-changing figure, who might be best described as a ‘camelion Poet’
“I don’t want her to miss a thing”: The punishment inflicted to Lamia (Greek mythology) and Ellaria Sand (Game of Thrones)
No full textThe aim of this paper is to analyse two characters who suffered the punishment of not being allowed to close their eyes so as to retain in their retinas the image of the loss of their children: Lamia and Ellaria Sand. The first one, Lamia, is a Greek mythological or folklore character punished by Hera for having an affair with her husband, Zeus. The second one is Ellaria Sand, from the series Game of Thrones (seventh season, third episode, titled “The Queen’s Justice”), who was robbed of her daughter Tyene by Cersei Lannister in King’s Landing. In this paper, the author will also point out the similarities and differences between the two scenarios. For this purpose, she will consider the characters’ antecedents and evolution after being punished with the impossibility of closing their eyes.The aim of this paper is to analyse two characters who suffered the punishment of not being allowed to close their eyes so as to retain in their retinas the image of the loss of their children: Lamia and Ellaria Sand.

On improving assessment of in-hospital mortality and ICU admission in community-acquired pneumonia patients using the eCURB
No full textAbstractBackgroundAssessment of severity of the disease in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is very important to decide the site of care. The conventional CURB-65 score is composed of five separate elements namely, Confusion, Uremia, Respiratory rate, BP, and age ⩾65years. These elements could be calculated electronically. The electronic CURB (eCURB) utilizes the 5 CURB-65 data elements as continuous, weighted variables. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of eCURB elements in predicting in-hospital mortality and ICU admission in comparison to the conventional CURB-65.Material and methodsThis study was conducted upon 134 adult patients diagnosed as CAP and confirmed by radiographic findings, admitted to chest department, Assiut University Hospital, Egypt. The CURB-65 elements were retrospectively extracted from the medical records. The eCURB variables were introduced to electronically calculate the risk using the Excel appendix model (provided by Prof. Nanthan Dean, University of Utah, Salt Lake city, USA) and its predictive values and area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve were compared with the conventional CURB-65 in predicting in-hospital mortality and the need for ICU admission.ResultsThe study revealed that the conventional CURB-65 score could predict in-hospital mortality with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.81 and the need for ICU admission with an AUC of 0.87. Using the eCURB-65 elements proved to be superior to the conventional CURB-65 in predicting in-hospital mortality with cut off point >7.5 and an AUC of 0.83 (P<0.0001). Also, eCURB was better than conventional CURB-65 in predicting ICU admission with cut off point >3.8 and an AUC of 0.89 (P<0.0001).ConclusionsUsing the eCURB proved to be a valuable tool in predicting in-hospital mortality and ICU admission in patients with CAP with a significant superiority over conventional CURB-65 in both variables. Further prospective studies on a larger cohort are recommended
Improve the forecasting accuracy of a GARCH model using a decomposition method
No full textAbstract: In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on the forecasting accuracy of heteroscedastic models. Instead of estimating the returns volatility using a generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic model ( model), this study separates the returns internal components from the external trend first using a decomposition method called “external trend and internal components analysis method” (ETICA), then estimates the returns volatility using a . The study's goal is to determine whether this separation has an effect on the prediction accuracy of the volatility of S&P 500, NASDAQ and Dow Jones stock indices. To explore the ETICA method effect, the root mean squared error has been used to compare the prediction accuracy before and after decomposition. The findings show that on average, the RMSE results were found to be lower before decomposition which means that stock returns had a higher prediction accuracy.
Keywords: GARCH model, decomposition method, S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, RMSE.

Généralisation du commerce transfrontalier : petit ici, notable là-bas
No full textThe Generalization of Business with the Old Country: the Little Guy at Home is Prominent Abroad
Lamia MISSAOUI
Based on a survey of the North African population which patronizes the shops of Belsunce, in Marseille, conducted in the shops and commerces themselves and in public housing in Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Valence, Avignon, Nimes, Toulouse, and Perpignan, the author demonstrates:
— an increasingly widespread tendency for migrants to have two distinct social identities: a relatively insignificant economic and social status in France, and a highly respected social position in the old country due to profitable micro-investment;
— the decisive role of the transformation of Belsunce into a device of the « Mediterranean colonial trading post » type (as defined by Fernand Braudel), in this generalization of ways of growing rich in the old country, that is, of the success of the original migratory plan. The radical alterity of the underground economic network connected to Belsunce has, in recent years, produced wealth and social recognition well beyond that typically achieved by Marseille's North African shopkeepers, and has enabled collectively what attempts at French integration have failed to do except in a few individual cases;
— the great abyss between this development and fundamentalist Islamic influence: the underground economy based on profiting from the wealth differential between northern and southern nations requires the development of multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-religious networks in order to make trade possible on the basis of the code of honor of a promise made between Turks, Poles, Lebanese, Italians, North Africans, and Black Africans, etc. That is, the description of the characteristics of North African otherness currently put forward by the media is the opposite of reality.Généralisation du commerce transfrontalier : petit ici, notable là-bas
Lamia MISSAOUI
A partir d'une enquête menée auprès de la population maghrébine des clients des commerces de Belsunce, à Marseille, d'une part sur les lieux mêmes d'achat et d'autre part dans des logements sociaux à Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Valence, Avignon, Nîmes, Toulouse et Perpignan, l'auteur met en évidence :
— la réalité de plus en plus généralisée des doubles situations des migrants : plus petits statuts économiques et sociaux en France, notables dans leurs pays d'origine, grâce à des micro-investissements productifs ;
— le rôle déterminant de la transformation de Belsunce en dispositif du type « comptoir commercial colonial méditerranéen » (au sens donné par F. Braudel à cette expression), dans cette généralisation des formes d'enrichissement là-bas, c'est-à-dire de réussite du projet migratoire originel. L'altérité radicale de l'économie souterraine de réseaux à partir de Belsunce fait, depuis quelques années, de plus en plus richesse et société bien au-delà des seuls commerçants maghrébins de Marseille et permet collectivement ce que les tentatives d'intégration françaises n'ont pu réaliser au-delà de quelques trajectoires singulières ;
— la forte distance de cette évolution par rapport à l'influence islamiste intégriste : cette économie souterraine basée sur l'exploitation du différentiel frontalier de richesse entre nations du nord et du sud exige le développement des réseaux pluriethniques, pluriculturels, pluri-religieux afin de rendre possible l'échange à partir du code d'honneur de la parole donée, entre Turcs, Polonais, Libanais, Italiens, Maghrébins, Noirs-Africains... C'est-à-dire l'inverse des descriptions médiatiques des caractéristiques de l'altérité maghrébine actuellement en vigueur.Generalización del comercio transfronterizo : pequeño aquí, notable allá

A partir de una encuesta realizada, entre la población de clientes magrebinos de los negocios de Belsunce en Marsella, por una parte en los lugares mismo de compra y por otra en viviendas sociales en Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Valence, Avignon, Nîmes, Toulouse y Perpignan, el autor pone en evidencia :
— la realidad cada vez muás generalizada de la doble situacion de los migrantes : status sociales miy bajos en Francia, notables en sus países de origen, gracias a micro-inversiones productivas ;
— el papel determinante de la transformación de Belsunce en dispositivo de tipo « mostrador comercial colonial » mediterráneo (en el sentido dado por F. Braudel a esta expresión), en esta generalización de formas de enriquecimienlo « allá », es decir el logro del proyecto migratorio original. La alteridad radical de la economía subterránea o submergida de las redes partiendo de Belsunce genera, desde hace algunos años, cada vez más riqueza y sociedad más allá de los comerciantes magrebinos de Marsella y permite colectivamente lo que las tentativas de integración francesa no han podido lograr fuera de algunas trayectorias singulares ;
— la gran distancia de esta evolución con respecta a la influencia islámica integrista : esta economía subterránea basada en la explotación del diferencial fronterizo de riqueza entre las naciones del norte y del sur exige el desarrollo de redes pluriétnicas, pluriculturales, pluri-religiosas, con el fin de hacer posible el intercambio a partir del « código de honor y de la palabra dada » entre turcos, polacos, libaneses, italianos, magrebinos, negro-africanos. Es decir lo contrario de las descripciones de los medios de comunicación de las características de alteridad magrebina actualmente en vigor.Missaoui Lamia.

Strategies of Enunciative Erasure and Position Taken by the Author-Researcher Case of Doctoral Student Articles
No full textThe main purpose of this article is to examine the construction of authorship in scientific articles written by Algerian doctoral students. We focused on the personal subject pronouns (nous and on) as the main mark of the expression of subjectivity, trying to see how the identity of the author is constituted in the texts of these young researchers. The observations indicates tyhat,dispite the requirement of objectvity that caracterireres the discursive genre in research,the writings of doctotoral studients continue to include markers of the first person. This usage diffes from that found in common dicoure, suggesting a particular construction of authorial identityLe propos principal de ce présent article est d’examiner la construction de l’identité d’auteur dans les articles scientifiques écrits par des doctorants algériens.Nous nous sommes concentrées sur les pronoms personnels sujets (nous et on) comme la principale marque de l’expression de la subjectivité, en essayant de voir comment se constitue l’identité de l’auteur dans les textes de ces jeunes chercheurs. Les observations indiquent que, malgré l’exigence de l’objectivité qui caractérise le genre discursif en recherche, les écrits des doctorants continuent s’inclurent des marques de la première personne. Cet emploi se différencie de celui que l’on trouve dans le discours commun,ce qui indique une construction particulière de l’identité auctorial
An Approach to Control Information Technology Changes
No full textAbstract: Information Technology (IT) services plays a significant role to preform day-to-day operations in all organizations. Any unexpected outages in IT services may cause major financial loss due to business disruption. However, there are mandatory alterations executed frequently in IT infrastructure due to introducing, enhancing, modifying, replacing, or removing assets/services. Controlling the lifecycle of all alterations in the IT infrastructure is the responsibility of IT Change Management (ITCM). This is essential to ensure the security, availability, and reliability of the IT Infrastructure by eliminating the disruption of business and maximize IT services readiness towards customer satisfaction. This paper describes the process of storing, tracking, preventing and detecting configuration changes implemented in the IT infrastructure as part of IT change management process and in alignment with security standards and policies.
Keywords: Information Technology, IT Change Management, Infrastructure, Controls, Configuration, Tracking.
