    Alfred Tennyson's in memoriam A.H.H.: the problem of a modern cosmology, 1978

    No full text
    This study undertakes to investigate Alfred Tennyson's "modern" views on man's place in the cosmic design as portrayed in his In Memoriam A.H.B. As a result of this research, I hope to present Tennyson's diversified emotions as he strove to come to grips with death and to answer the question* Can man be at home in the universe? In my opinion, any study of an author's work should first present pertinent biographical information. Therefore, Chapter I gives close attention to relevant biographical data. The influences of the Lincolnshire countryside, as it nursed his boyhood, are discussed. Also, Tennyson's matriculation at Cambridge, his membership in the Apostles, his early confirmed friendship with Arthur Henry Hallam and his long and trying courtship of Emily Sellwood are focused upon in this chapter. Moreover, this chapter Includes an overview of the scientific developments that were responsible for many of Tennyson's uncertainties and doubts, as in In Memoriam A.H.B. Chapter II begins with a summary of the sentiments expressed in the elegy, this chapter continues by making the reader aware of the nature of Tennyson's doubt and the factors giving rise to it. Then I trace the poem's progression from deeply-felt religious uncertainties, ending on a final note of his expounding faith and hope In a God of love*. Chapter III strives to portray Tennyson as a man of his age. First of all, an overview of the Victorian age is presented. Included In this overview are the theological, psychological, and teleological concerns of the period. Furthermore, the fact that Tennyson saw his poethood as a responsibility and even an ethical challenge Is discussed. The remainder of this chapter explains how perfectly Tennyson seems to fit Into this age and how he Is able to voice Its doubts, fears, hopes and dramas. Lastly, the conclusion summarizes my findings on this topic. It reemphasizes important facts mentioned in previous chapters. As a result of the information found in the other chapters, I am able to make known Tennyson's final analysis that man does have a place la the cosmic design.

    No full text
    Acknowledged for its unceasing promotion of the Erasmus mobility programmes, the IPB has been accredited with the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education 2014- 2020 and awarded by the European Commission with the ECTS Label (for the period 2011-2014) as well as the Diploma Supplement Label (for the period 2013- 2016). The IPB is proud to be one of the few national and international institutions that has been distinguished simultaneously with both quality labels. These awards represent a strong indicator of the international level achieved by the IPB as being on the top of the European Higher Education Institutes within the scope of the Erasmus mobility programmes. After two numbers of Teaching Crossroads within the 7th and 8th IPB Erasmus Weeks, we are now proud to present the third number of Teaching Crossroads as regards the 9th Erasmus Week which took place in May 2013. Once again, teaching staff, who participated in the academic and cultural event that made up the Erasmus Week by delivering seminars, lectures and/or workshops, were invited to make their texts available for publication. In this number of Teaching Crossroads, we aimed, once more, at making the publication thorough regarding the accuracy and effectiveness of the articles presented. Therefore, for the first time, the texts have been peer-reviewed. We would then like to thank all the peer reviewers who most kindly and willingly reviewed the texts, namely Ana Paula Monte, Ana Paula Sismeiro, António Meireles, Cláudia Martins, Elisabete Silva, Maria Augusta Mata, Miguel Ângelo Rodrigues, Paulo Mafra and Rui Pedro Lopes from the IPB. The research areas focused on in this number are rather multidisciplinary covering the following knowledge domains: Information Technology and Applied Sciences; Nursing and Health Care; Economics; Law and Environmental Education; Education (Art, Linguistics and Translation and Culture Studies). Patrick Siegfried devotes his attention to the importance of the service sector for the industry, highlighting the German situation in regard to the tertiary sector. In his article, the author presents several research approaches launched in Germany that deal with the recent developments in service engineering and service development research in Germany over the last years. Axel Sikora gives us an overview on The Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as ubiquitous computing and ubiquitous connectivity, Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), ambient intelligence, Machine-to-Machine communication (M2M) or Carto- Car (C2C)-communication, smart metering, smart grid, telematics, telecare and telehealth. The author demonstrates how these applications are used today to increase efficiency and to improve the availability of information. Moreover, we are also shown the different phases of the evolution of embedded system for social-enabled applications, particularly in relation to the connectivity and information exchange. Pedro Gutiérrez Moraño, Belinda Basilio Fernández and José Luis Bote Mohedano offer us a series of health hints and preventive measures, as far as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and its consequences are concerned. In order to prevent the amputations related to the diabetic foot, the authors provide us with a series of effective preventive strategies to decrease the incidence, prevalence, morbidity and the costs of the diabetic foot and foot at risk, as well as to improve the quality of the attention process to people with DM in Primary Health. Alba María Priego de la Cruz in her article entitled ‘Value added as a Source of Information for Stakeholders’ defines the concept of economic value added and evaluates the participation and behaviour of stakeholders in the generation and distribution of value added, which may be decisive in favouring the business activity. María Rosa Vásquez Rodriguez with the text ‘Environmental policy: Environmental Education’ continues the same study that she presented last year, but this time with some more additional information. The author tries to settle a connection between economics and environmental policy and the impact of environmental education on the environment protection, pointing out the different instruments available to public administration that ensure the preservation of the environment. Elisabeth Fernbach, with the very original and appealing title ’With an open mind’, captures one’s attention by demonstrating that creativity can be taught with a cross curricular focus on new media. Therefore, she upholds that education in art and art in education epitomises the right path to self-discovery and to a clearer understanding of the world and others, by presenting several possible tasks that can enhance creativity. Finally, she also offer examples of students´ and children’s art works as a result of these creative processes. Cláudia Martins, the regular speaker for the lectures on Portuguese Culture and Language during our Erasmus weeks, presents now a very enlightening text on ‘Diatopic Variation in Portugal: Notes on European Portuguese Dialects’. In this article, she describes, in a very detailed way, the geographical varieties of European Portuguese, namely the dialects in mainland Portugal and the islands of Madeira and Azores, based on the information gathered in the main linguistic atlases. Bearing in mind the spirit of this publication, which is the promotion of crosscurricular studies and teaching mobility, this year we have also decided to include the texts of some of the IPB teachers who were given a grant within the Lifelong Learning Programme-Erasmus Mobility for Teachers during the last two years and thus delivered lectures in several European partner universities. Isabel Chumbo went to the University of Zagreb in 2012 and there she gave a lecture under the title: “Translators censoring Propaganda – a case study on the translation of Salazar’s speeches into English”. The author presents a very insightful analysis of translation as a propaganda tool during the dictatorial regime of António Oliveira Salazar (1932-68) in Portugal. Elisabete Silva went to the Riga Teacher Training and Educational Management Academy, Latvia, in May 2011 where she delivered a lecture on Isaiah Berlin, born in Riga, highlighting the man and the intellectual and focusing on the importance of education as a valuable asset in a person’s life

    Allergic rhinitis and its impact on asthma (ARIA): achievements in 10 years and future needs

    No full text
    Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma represent global health problems for all age groups. Asthma and rhinitis frequently coexist in the same subjects. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) was initiated during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999 (published in 2001). ARIA has reclassified AR as mild/moderate-severe and intermittent/persistent. This classification closely reflects patients' needs and underlines the close relationship between rhinitis and asthma. Patients, clinicians, and other health care professionals are confronted with various treatment choices for the management of AR. This contributes to considerable variation in clinical practice, and worldwide, patients, clinicians, and other health care professionals are faced with uncertainty about the relative merits and downsides of the various treatment options. In its 2010 Revision, ARIA developed clinical practice guidelines for the management of AR and asthma comorbidities based on the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. ARIA is disseminated and implemented in more than 50 countries of the world. Ten years after the publication of the ARIA World Health Organization workshop report, it is important to make a summary of its achievements and identify the still unmet clinical, research, and implementation needs to strengthen the 2011 European Union Priority on allergy and asthma in children

    Local government and leisure:: A study of two local authorities and their responses to the growth of leisure

    No full text
    Local authorities have a long history of providing recreation and leisure services, but since the 1970s leisure departments have expanded with a corresponding growth in the number and importance of professional officers to run them. Growing affluence and improvements in the quality of life have led to a recognition of the social importance of leisure provision, and more recently its economic importance has been established with the introduction of schemes aimed at rejuvenating local areas. This thesis investigates the internal workings of two neighbouring local authorities in the North East of England. It is a comparative study of the District Councils of Wear Valley and Chester-le-Street, focusing primarily on the importance of leisure services in the public sector. It draws attention to the importance of leisure to justify local government as elected bodies concerned with the overall well-being of their local communities. After considering historical, philosophical and sociological perspectives on leisure, and examining the role of public bodies in the provision of leisure, the thesis proceeds with a detailed analysis of leisure services in Wear Valley and Chester-le-Street in a period of dramatic change. An evaluation of the differences in each District and their responses leads to a consideration of the 'Enabling' role now expected of all local authorities. Although local government is an important element in the British political system, it has been subjected to a plethora of legislation since 1979, aimed at reducing public spending and questioning and controlling the role and purpose of local authorities. The comparison of the two Districts involves an investigation of their internal conduct and business. It finds that leisure services are an increasingly important reasons for maintaining elected local authorities
