Charles Simic's uses of his-story
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoEssa dissertação investiga como os eventos históricos são recriados na poesia de Charles Simic. O propósito dessa investigação é contribuir para uma leitura dos trabalhos de Simic, buscando as inter-relações do pessoal com o histórico, mostrando assim, como a poesia do autor, relacionada principalmente à Segunda Guerra Mundial, é válida como instrumento histórico. Durante este estudo, são analisado diferentes gêneros usados por Simic, como poemas, poemas em prosa, ensaios, artigos e entrevistas. A base teórica pressupõe a leitura e análise de teóricos influentes, como James Longenbach, Friedrich Nietzsche e Hayden Whit

Lola's War ::Rape Without Punishment /
No full text"This book is an important contribution to transitional justice scholarship. In a sensitive manner, it reminds readers of the need to listen to the everyday stories of survivors of violence. The accounts of one woman's loss and personal heartache in a search for justice, are moving." - Professor Elisabeth Porter, University of South Australia, Australia "Beautifully written, deep, reflective and thoughtful, Olivera Simic's new book takes the reader on an intimate and up-close journey for justice of a wartime sexual violence survivor in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The life story of Lola is a rich and detailed story of a woman showcasing lived experiences and consequences of searching for justice in the aftermath of atrocities, which are often inadvertent and unpredictable. It is filled with hopes, disappointments, traumas but also resilience and empowerment. It is an absolute must read for everyone engaged and interested in post-conflict transitional justice." - Associate Professor Barbora Hola, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Senior Researcher, Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) "Lola's War makes me think, makes me think hard thoughts. And because Lola herself is so wonderfully portrayed here, one cannot escape the hard thinking - about gendered war, about violence against women, about personal sovereignty, about justice. Olivera Simic has done us all a great service by challenging us, while never betraying Lola's integrity." - Professor Cynthia Enloe, author of Twelve Feminist Lessons of War This longitudinal study is based on the story of Lola, who was gang raped during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992. At the time, she was in a detention camp with her young children. Only one of Lola's several perpetrators was convicted but his sentence of six years of imprisonment has never been actioned by the Bosnian judiciary. Lola's rapist is still free and she lives in continual fear that he will retaliate against her and her children for her role in his trial.

Mixture of Gases with Multi-temperature: Identification of a macroscopic average temperature
No full textIn this paper we present the model of a mixture of gases in which each constituent
has it's own temperature. We review some recent results, in particular concerning
the global existence of smooth solutions. Than we deduce a solution of the di®er-
ential system under the assumption that the ̄elds depend only on time. In this
way, we are able to identify a possible natural macroscopic average temperature
On the Hyperbolic System of a Mixture of Eulerian Fluids: A Comparison Between Single- and Multi-Temperature Models
No full textThe first rational model of homogeneous mixtures of fluids was proposed by Truesdell in the context of
rational thermodynamics. Afterwards, two different theories were developed: one with a single-temperature
(ST) field of the mixture and the other one with several temperatures. The two systems are from
the mathematical point of view completely different and the relationship between their solutions was
not clarified.
In this paper, the hyperbolic multi-temperature (MT) system of a mixture of Eulerian fluids will be
explained and it will be shown that the corresponding single-temperature differential system is a principal
subsystem of the MT one. As a consequence, the subcharacteristic conditions for characteristic speeds
hold and this gives an upper-bound esteem for pulse speeds in an ST model. Global behaviour of smooth
solutions for large time for both systems will also be discussed through the application of the Shizuta–
Kawashima condition. Finally, as an application, the particular case of a binary mixture is considered
Assessing drive tourists' preferences and motivations: A case study of Bella Coola, British Columbia
No full textThe objectives of this research were to: 1) Gain an understanding of the drive tourism market in the Bella Coola Valley and particularly visitors’ characteristics, length of stay, and behaviour whilst in the valley. This would be done by implementing a quantitative self completed survey. 2) Trial a qualitative research tool which will seek to explore the psychographic profiles of the RV market. This research tool would consist of in-depth, open ended interviews and focus groups.Final Report of Findings. -- Prepared by Dr. Anne Hardy and Jovan Simic, Resource Recreation and Tourism Program, University of Northern British Columbia, for: BC Ferries, Central Coast Regional District, Bella Coola Valley Tourism, BC Real Estate Partnering Fun
Average temperature and Maxwellian iteration in multitemperature mixtures of fluids
No full textThis paper treats the nonequilibrium processes in mixtures of fluids under the assumption that each constituent
is characterized by its own velocity and temperature field. First we discuss the concept of the average
temperature of mixture based upon considerations that the internal energy of the mixture is the same as in the
case of a single-temperature mixture. As a consequence, it is shown that the entropy of the mixture reaches a
local maximum in equilibrium. An illustrative example of homogeneous mixtures is given to support the
theoretical considerations. Through the procedure of Maxwellian iteration a new constitutive equation for
nonequilibrium temperatures of constituents is obtained in a classical limit, together with the Fick’s law for the
diffusion flux. These results obtained for n-species are in perfect agreement with a recent classical approach of
thermodynamics of irreversible processes in multitemperature case due to Gouin and Ruggeri and generalize
our previous papers concerning the case of a binary mixture
SHOCK STRUCTURE IN A HYPERBOLIC MODEL OF BINARY MIXTURE OF NON-REACTING GASES
No full textIn this paper the problem of shock structure in binary gas mixture is studied with assumption
that temperatures of the constituents may not be equal. Mathematical model is developed within
the context of extended thermodynamics leading to a hyperbolic system of quasi-linear partial
differential equations. Classical Euler's system of gas dynamics equations appears to be an
equilibrium subsystem of the mixture system. Due to the presence of dissipative terms
discontinuous shock-wave solution is smoothed out to a continuous shock structure (profile)
connecting two equilibrium states. By assuming the shock profile in the form of plane traveling
wave a set of ordinary differential equations is derived from the complete set of balance laws.
Numerical study revealed that there exists a smooth solution to the problem for shock speeds
greater than the highest characteristic speed of the equilibrium subsystem. This solution confirms
that mass difference is the main cause for the difference of temperatures of the constituents.
Moreover, nonlinear form of source terms, obtained through the use of entropy principle, appear
to be crucial for the problem in question since the intermediate states of the system are driven far
from equilibrium
