Analysis on motives and consequences of the main characters' dilemmatic decision makings in Ryunosuke akutagawa's kesa and morito and rashomon and in mori ogai's takase bune
No full textThe short story?s unity, density, and brevity are the primary motives for my choice of this literary genre. From all the stories that come from all around the world, I choose Japanese short story. Subjectively because they impress me much with their interesting themes and unique story-telling method, and objectively because along with some other critics, I believe them to be `hidden beauties? that are currently less unknown compared to the Western Literature. From all the brilliant classical Japanese writers, I chose Ryunosuke Akutagawa for his original story-telling method and dedication in writing and Mori Ogai for his deep exploration in human nature as well as his acknowledged contribution to the Japanese literature. From Akutagawa, I chose Kesa and Morito for its exploration in the nature of men and Rashomon for its achievement in both literary and film-making world. From Mori Ogai, I chose Takase Bune, because the story offers an interesting moral topic on euthanasia, as well as a reflection on the aspects of life. The linking factor in these three stories is the main characters? dilemmatic situations. Morito has to choose between breaking his promise and committing murder, the samurai servant has to choose between stealing and starving to death, and Kisuke has to choose between sparing his brother?s pain and obeying the law. In this thesis, I will analyze the dilemmas and the choices, the motives, and the consequences of the choices. Since this analysis will concern much with the characters? moral principles and dilemmas, I choose to make an analysis concerning the motives and the consequences of their dilemmatic decision makings. I will make a literary approach with the literary devices of characterization and conflict, as well as some supporting concepts on motives and moral consequences. In my findings, I find that Morito?s motives in Kesa and Morito are pride, cowardice, and hatred, while his motive of love is fake. His choice results in Kesa?s death and him being a murderer. In Rashomon, the samurai servant?s motives are egoism, hatred, and excuse. His choice brings an advantage for himself and harm to the old lady. In Takase Bune, Kisuke?s motives are compassion and pressure. His action leads to his imprisonment and his brother?s death. Without the consideration of motives and consequences, I believe all the actions will be judged as `morally wrong?. Thus, my final argument is that it is necessary to consider the factors of motives and consequences in making moral judgment toward other people?s actions

Eventos internacionales de café para aperturar nuevos mercados de la Empresa Finca El Morito S. R. L. distrito de Jaén, 2025
No full textLa investigación tuvo como objetivo general: Determinar las características de los Eventos internacionales de café para la apertura de nuevos mercados de la empresa Finca el Morito S. R. L., distrito de Jaén, 2025. El tipo de investigación fue, aplicada con enfoque cuantitativo, de nivel descriptivo- de propuesta, de diseño no experimental-trasversal; se tomó una muestra de 12 trabajadores, para recopilar la información se aplicó la técnica de la encuesta y como instrumento un cuestionario de 20 preguntas, en escala de Likert. Los resultados fueron, con respecto a la frecuencia de asistencia a los eventos internacionales, el
66% de los trabajadores indicaron que casi nunca la empresa frecuenta a eventos internacionales de café, el 33% señalaron que algunas veces la empresa es visible en eventos internacionales, en relación a la apertura de mercados, el 58% de los encuestados manifestaron que muy pocas veces la empresa realiza estudios de mercado antes de ingresar a nuevos mercados, el 41% de los trabajadores indicaron que algunas veces la empresa utilizó estrategias de mercado para ingresar su producto a nuevos destinos. Se concluyó que, la empresa tiene poca participación en eventos internacionales, lo cual no es bueno para la empresa ya que estos eventos son cruciales para impulsar la expansión y visibilidad global. Estos eventos no solo mejoran la competitividad de la empresa, sino que también fomenta el aprendizaje y la innovación
Flow in Fractured Media: a Darcy-Stokes-Brinkman Modelling Approach
No full textCoupling between porous media and free flow is widely present in many applications. In fractured reservoirs, fractures are often treated as parallel (smooth) plates, between which the flow is assumed to be steady state fully developed, with no-slip boundary condition. Under these assumptions, the Darcy law is employed inside fractures with permeability (Kf ) as a quadratic function of aperture (a), i.e., Kf = a2/12. Although this model is a rough simplification of real rock fractures, it is still widely used in subsurface flowmodelling. This study aims to investigate the validity range of the so-called local cubic law (LCL) by using a Darcy-Stokes-Brinkman model in which a unified formulation describes the Stokes flow in the free-flow sub-domain and Darcy flow in the porous sub-domain. Two simulation strategies are developed: a sequentially coupled approach, and a fully coupled approach. The nonlinear velocity profiles inside the free flow require enough grid resolution to be captured. As such, the grid resolution sensitivity is presented. More importantly, the permeability contrast between the two media is found to be an important factor for the applicability of the LCL (Darcy-Darcy) approach. A threshold of 10−7 is found, below which the difference between the two modelling approaches is negligible, and above which the LCL model no longer provide reasonable results
