Investigation on novel thermoplastic poly(urethane-thiourea-imide)s with enhanced chemical and heat resistance
No full textA new generation of segmented thermoplastic poly(urethane-thiourea-imide)s (PUTIs) was synthesized via reaction of polyethylene glycol and thiourea-based prepolymer with dianhydride as chain extenders. NCO-terminated prepolymer was synthesized from a new diisocyanate, 3-(3-((4-isocyanatophenyl)carbamoyl)thioureido)phenyl-4-isocyanatophenylcarbamate (IPCT), as a hard segment and PEG forming soft segment. The starting materials and polymers were characterized by conventional methods and physical properties such as solubility, solution viscosity, molecular weight, thermal stability and thermal behavior were studied. PUTIs showed partially crystalline structures. Weight average molecular weights of PUTIs (GPC measurements) were in the range of 1,68,694-1,97,035. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis indicated that poly(urethane-thiourea-imide)s were fairly stable above 500 degrees C having T(10) of 521-543 degrees C. Investigation of the results authenticated the approach of introducing thiourea (using IPCT) and imide structure in polyurethanes for the improvement of thermal stability. In comparison to typical polyurethanes, these polymers exhibited better heat resistance, chemical resistance as well as processability. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

The theory on creating websites worked as a background to the practical part and the development of the website for the commissioner.
As research method on the marketing of Pedersöre Adult Education Centre an interview with interview guide were made. As background and research methods for the developing of the website were used different literature studies, web searches and the author´s continuing education in digital competences for teaching in liberal adult education. During the developing of the website two different digital website programs and tools were tested and compared, to get the most optimized look and use for sewing courses in Pedersöre Adult Education Centre.
The thesis resulted in a website for sewing courses in Pedersöre Adult Education Centre. The process of developing the website and the result were discussed and suggestions for future marketing were given to the commissioner
Which Sámi? Sámi inclusion criteria in population-based studies of Sámi health and living conditions in Norway – an exploratory study exemplified with data from the SAMINOR study
No full textBackground. In a situation where national censuses do not record information on ethnicity, studies of the indigenous Sámi people's health and living conditions tend to use varying Sámi inclusion criteria and categorizations. Consequently, the basis on which Sámi study participants are included and categorized when Sámi health and living conditions are explored and compared differs. This may influence the results and conclusions drawn. Objective. To explore some numerical consequences of applying principles derived from Norway's Sámi Act as a foundation for formalized inclusion criteria in population-based Sámi studies in Norway. Design. We established 1 geographically based (G1) and 3 individual-based Sámi example populations (I1–I3) by applying diverse Sámi inclusion criteria to data from 17 rural municipalities in Norway north of the Arctic Circle. The data were collected for a population-based study of health and living conditions in 2003–2004 (the SAMINOR study). Our sample consisted of 14,797 participants aged 36–79 years. Results. The size of the individual-based populations varied significantly. I1 (linguistic connection Sámi) made up 35.5% of the sample, I2 (self-identified Sámi) made up 21.0% and I3 (active language Sámi) 17.7%. They were also noticeably unevenly distributed between the 5 Sámi regions defined for this study. The differences for the other characteristics studied were more ambiguous. For the population G1 (residents in the Sámi language area) the only significant difference found between the Sámi and the corresponding non-Sámi population was for household income (OR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.63–0.74). For the populations I1–I3 there were significant differences on all measures except for I2 and education (OR=1.09, 95% CI: 0.99–1.21). Conclusions. The choice of Sámi inclusion criterion had a clear impact on the size and geographical distribution of the defined populations but lesser influence on the selected characteristics for the Sámi populations relative to the respective non-Sámi ones
Representation of sámi history in swedish museums.
No full textThe main purpose of this thesis is to examine condition of the Sámi historical memory in Sweden. This is done by analysing and comparing Sámi history representations in two museums: Nordiska museum, which reflects Swedish perspective and Ájtte museum, which reflects Sámi perspective. Sweden receives a lot of criticism from international organs (such as United Nations and Council of Europe) regarding restrictions of Sámi rights and influence. Sámi communities are concerned about failed inclusion of Sámi history into the major narrative. Nowadays stories about Sámi people history are heard more often but despite that criticism does not disappear. By examining narratives of the chosen museums I will try to understand why it is so. In this research I apply qualitative method and perform comparative analysis of two exhibitions, I also conduct interviews with museums‘ representatives and visitors. Theoretical base that I construct for this research consists of collective memory and cultural trauma theories. They provide a framework which allows to understand history representations, as well it predicts possible perpetrators‘ and survivors‘ narratives. In this case it appeared that they did not reflect actual narratives, which says that chosen representations have to be analysed in consideration of what mnemonic actor present them. It also shows that cultural trauma that develops out of longstanding history of the routine harm is not so different from trauma process which begin with some sort of shock. In the end they both produce similar narratives. Museums‘ narratives can be understood as attempts to cope with historical trauma. In Ájtte museum it is done by creating a new narrative for Sámi people, which do not include Sweden as a main actor and trauma as a main process. Nordiska museum choose a different approach – it reveals history of Sámi oppression and reflects how the museum was part of it. It seems that these narratives should lead to conciliation, but actually they do not make a difference. Why Sámi people are still disappointed about how they history is treated? There are two reasons: first of all, it is because of representations itself. Even though Nordiska talks about the oppression, in most cases representations are shallow, they lack deeper analysis and personal stories, and furthermore, Sámi are seen in relation with the state and Swedish society, which do not reflect them as active actors in their own history. Second of all, this new narrative of the perpetrators do not affect official state position and politics in any way

Mi a műalkotás? - Az irodalmi olvasás kérdései
No full textAzon túl, hogy legelőször is nyelvi képződmény, az irodalmi műalkotásnak nincs időtlen lényege. Ugyanakkor minden nagy korszakban lényegi ismérvek alapján tekintünk műalkotásnak egy szöveget. Az értelmezés gyakran mégis úgy lát munkához, mintha már mindig is tudná, mi és miként tesz műalkotássá egy szöveget, sőt, mintha eleve elintézett kérdés volna, hogy mi számít műalkotásnak egyáltalán. Kivált pedig nagy műalkotásnak. A könyv a strukturalizmus nagy hatású térbeli műfogalmával szemben a – szöveg és az olvasás köztes terében megképződő – műalkotásnak abból az időbeli létmódjából indul ki, amely a művészeti ágak közül egyedül még a zenének sajátja. A létmódja felől megvilágított műalkotás ugyanis a maga kettős időszerkezete jóvoltából egyszerre van belefoglalva az olvasási eseménybe és beillesztve a költészet szűntelen mozgásban lévő hatástörténetébe. A kötet előbb a szöveg művé válásának problémáit tárgyalja, majd olyan irodalmi olvasásmódra tesz kísérletet, amely megkerülhetetlennek tekinti a közlés hangolt beszédszerűségét s vele a dikció, a modalitás, a ritmus, a prozódia, a dallamvonal és a frazírozás poétikai teljesítményét. Mert nélkülük a műbeli igazság nem művészetként történik meg velünk. A költészetben Rilke, Babits, Benn, Szabó Lőrinc és Nemes Nagy, az epikában Stendhal, Tolsztoj, Flaubert, Hamsun, Kosztolányi és Márai alkotásai állnak az értelmezések előterében. A szakmai értékelésből: „A bonyolult összefüggéseket világos okfejtéssel tárgyaló, módszertani értelemben is hiánypótló könyv nemcsak a szakemberek és a művelt közönség köreiben találja majd meg érdeklődő olvasóit, hanem az egyetemeken is fontos oktatási segédanyag lehet, mint ahogy 20. századi irodalmi hagyományaink középiskolai közvetítését is hatékonyan segítheti elő.” (Szirák Péter
Sámi on Display: Sámi Representations in an Early Nonfiction Book for Children
No full textLisbeth Bergh’s nonfiction picturebook En lappefamilie: tekst og bilder fra Nordland (A Lappish family: text and pictures from Nordland) from 1905 is one of the first Norwegian nonfiction picturebooks for children about the life of Sámi. It contains Bergh’s own illustrations and text passages in Norwegian, English, and German, which signals that the book addresses a national and international audience. Simultaneously, the book is published in an era characterized by an increasing interest in indigenous tourism, demonstrated through the popularity of world exhibitions and «human zoos». In this article, I explore Bergh’s nonfiction picturebook in the light of “human zoos” and “living exhibitions” at the beginning of the 1900s and how her book alludes to the depiction of the Sámi for entertainment and information purposes. My close reading shows how the book reflects the categorization and systematization of the world and of exotic ethnic groups at the time. Furthermore, the reading confirms the book’s very distinctive position in Norwegian children’s literature history, and how it may have acquired a particular role in the promotion of Norwegian tourism at the beginning of the 20th century
