Bomba atomowa – piękna, straszna, Dobra i Zła. O filmie dokumentalnym The Atomic Cafe (1982, reż. J. Loader, P. Rafferty, K. Rafferty)
No full textThe Atomic Cafe (1982), a work directed by Jayne Loader, Kevin Rafferty and Pierce Rafferty, is undoubtedly one of the most interesting works of documentary cinema of the 1980s. What the archives (collected over the years and coming from very different sources: military training films, materials commissioned by the US government, television reports, newsreels, street surveys, etc.) have in common is the fact that they constitute a unique testimony of a historical moment. In a broader sense: they document the beginnings of the Cold War. In a narrower sense: the archives are about American propaganda in the context of the atomic bomb – the „our” American bomb (which is – the materials suggest – useful and almost of divine provenance), and the „foreign” Soviet bomb (which is – again, as the archives indicate – destructive and atrocious). In this paper, I examine how the directors of The Atomic Cafe reconstructed this – necessarily internally fractured – narrative about the nuclear weapons.The Atomic Cafe (1982), a work directed by Jayne Loader, Kevin Rafferty and Pierce Rafferty, is undoubtedly one of the most interesting works of documentary cinema of the 1980s.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The history of ministerial workforce policy and planning in British nursing, 1939-1960
No full textThis thesis examines the government's tripartite
approach to
workforce policy and
planning in British nursing from 1939 until
1960. Emerging histories have
placed
emphasis on the ministries and their effect upon the
development
of nursing.
However,
there remains no examination of their
distinctive
and
interrelated
roles
in
managing
nursing workforce policy and planning,
This thesis
examines the
contribution
of
three
of
these ministries from initial workforce
involvement in the
early
1940s, through to the
1950s and the advent of the Committee on
Senior
Nursing
Staff Structure
(the Salmon
Report). It concludes that three distinct roles
emerged
from
each of
the
ministries.
The
Ministry of Labour and National Service (MLNS)
dealt
with nurse
recruitment,
the
Ministry of Health addressed retention through
conditions
of service,
while
the
Colonial
Office represented replenishment. Such division
of ministerial
roles
and
any
limited
collaboration, however, did not appear to
be
a
part of
any
conscious workforce
policy.
The thesis argues that although the Ministry of
Health
and the
MLNS
viewed
nursing
as
less prestigious than a traditional profession, strategies
appealing to
nurses'
aspirations
were used to promote a sense of professional value
in
an
occupation
of
many
countervailing tensions. Nursing appeared to
occupy
its
own
unique
space
between
professions and industrial labour.
i The post-war management of the nursing workforce emerges as a
highly
reactive
policy,
focusing upon diverse groups for recruitment.
It
covered the
use
of part-time
nurses
to fit
into the social expectations of post-war women,
the
recruitment
of male
nurses and
a
manipulation of colonial legislation to the
clear
benefit
of
British
nursing.
Nurse
shortages are explored against government unease
in the immediate
post-war period with
the effects of increasing colonial immigration of
black
workers,
which
was uncontrolled
due to their status as British subjects.
The
ultimate
inadequacy
of
workforce
policies
in
nursing to deal with the recruitment of
black
nurses
remains
a
current
and controversial
workforce issue

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Do You See What I See? Manager-Employee HR Practices Perceptual Congruence and Employee Well-being
No full textThis study explores how congruence between managers’ and employees’ perceptions of HR practices affects employees’ well-being. Cross-level polynomial regression and response surface analysis on data from 283 manager-employee dyads revealed that employees’ well-being was maximized when managers’ and employees’ perceptions of HR practices were congruent and was undermined when managers’ and employees’ perceptions were incongruent. In addition, employees’ well-being was higher when managers’ and employees’ perceptions of HR practices were congruent for high commitment HR practices rather than congruent for low commitment HR practices. Employees’ well-being also was lower when their managers (rather than employees) perceived higher commitment HR practices than when employees (rather than managers) perceived higher commitment HR practices.No Full Tex
