Measuring and analyzing German and Spanish customer satisfaction of using the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud service
No full textThis paper presents the customer satisfaction analysis for measuring popularity in the Mobile Cloud, which is an emerging area in the Cloud and Big Data Computing. Organizational Sustainability Modeling (OSM) is the proposed method used in this research. The twelve-month of German and Spanish consumer data are used for the analysis to investigate the return and risk status associated with the ratings of customer satisfaction in the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud services. Results show that there is a decline in the satisfaction ratings in Germany and Spain due to economic downturn and competitions in the market, which support our hypothesis. Key outputs have been explained and they confirm that all analysis and interpretations fulfill the criteria for OSM. The use of statistical and visualization method proposed by OSM can expose unexploited data and allows the stakeholders to understand the status of return and risk of their Cloud strategies easier than the use of other data analysis
Necrológio de Victor Giudice: artimanhas ficcionais em tempos ditatoriais
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.A presente tese tem como objetivo abordar as narrativas de Necrológio, obra inaugural de Victor Giudice, publicada em 1972, em sua relação com o período ditatorial brasileiro. Assim como outros artistas do contexto, o escritor se utiliza de estratégias para driblar a censura da ditadura militar. Com Necrológio, Giudice assume o papel de artífice de sua própria época através da carnavalização da temática da morte, uma protagonista da qual seus personagens se tornam simulacros. Através do fantástico e da metamorfose, o autor expõe personagens que são inquilinos de um universo desumanizado.The present thesis aims to approach Necrológio, Victor Giudice's inaugural book published in 1972, in its relations to Brazilian dictatorship. Victor Giudice, as many other artists in that context, uses strategies to trick censorship in the dictatorial period. With Necrológio, Giudice takes the role of artificer of his own time through the carnavalization of the thematic of death, the main protagonist of his book to which his characters function as simulacra. Through the fantastic and the matamorphosis, the author exposes characters that inhabit a deshumanized universe

"Sons of White Fathers": Mulatto Vengeance and the Haitian Revolution in Victor Séjour's "The Mulatto"
No full textMarlene L. Daut, "'Sons of White Fathers': Mulatto Vengeance and the Haitian Revolution in Victor Séjour's 'The Mulatto'"(pp. 1–37)
Although many literary critics have traced the genealogy of the tragic mulatto/a to nineteenth-century U.S. letters, in this essay I argue that the theme of tragedy and the mixed-race character predates the mid-nineteenth-century work of Lydia Maria Child and William Wells Brown and cannot be considered a solely U.S. American concept. The image can also be traced to early-nineteenth-century French colonial literature, where the trope surfaced in conjunction with the image of the Haitian Revolution as a bloody race war. Through a reading of the Louisiana-born Victor Séjour's representation of the Haitian Revolution, "Le Mulâtre" or "The Mulatto," originally composed in French and first published in Paris in 1837, this essay considers the implications of the conflation of the literary history of the tragic mulatto/a with the literary history of the Haitian Revolution in one of the first short stories written by an American author of African descent.</jats:p
A revision of the genus Cholovocera Victor, 1838 (Coleoptera: Endomychidae)
No full textWe revise all the species of the genus Cholovocera Victor, 1838 (Coleoptera: Endomychidae), with descriptions, illustrations and complete synonymies, based on the examination of 1878 specimens of Cholovocera and a few beetles of other genera, collected by the senior author and from museum collections, including primary types. We recognise eight valid species, resurrecting three species from synonymy, sinking three as new junior synonyms, and describing a new species. Geographic distributions and a key for the identification of all the species are also given. Species which have been incorrectly associated with Cholovocera are listed and discussed
