Charles Kingsley, his Letters and Memories of his Life
No full textCharles Kingsley (1819–75) is best remembered today as the author of the children's morality tale The Water Babies. This biography, written by his wife and published in 1877, draws on his letters to describe a man who saw his faith as being central to his life not only as an Anglican priest, but also as a historian, novelist and supporter of social reform. The two-volume work gives insights into the concerns and preoccupations of the intellectual classes of the mid-Victorian period. Volume 1 covers the period until 1856. We read Kingsley's precocious sermon written at the age of four, and his first attempts at poetry. As an adult he was keenly aware of the inequalities of Victorian life, and his support for the Chartists and social reform can be traced back to his witnessing the 1831 Bristol Riots, his vivid description of which is included here.</jats:p

West African Studies
No full textMary Kingsley (1862–1900) is one of the best known Victorian women travellers, whose solo adventures in West Africa made her a celebrity in England. This, her second book, published in 1899, was an instant best-seller. She travelled extensively, engaging in trade both to fund her trip and to get to know the African people, rather than merely observing as an outsider. Some of her views were considered controversial - she opposed the attempts by missionaries to impose European culture on native people, and defended polygamy and even slavery. She opposed direct colonial rule, and wanted Africans to have more self-determination. Her observations and interests are wide-ranging, and she showed an acute and sympathetic understanding of West African culture and society.

Chace (1937) compared the eastern Pacific and the western Atlantic (Bermuda) materials of <i>A. normanni</i> and <i>A. packardii</i> and concluded that they are identical morphologically, placing <i>A. packardii</i> in the synonymy of <i>A. normanni</i>. Both Chace (1972) and Christoffersen (1979) continued to treat <i>A. packardii</i> as a junior synonym of <i>A. normanni</i>. Kim & Abele (1988) again compared specimens from the eastern Pacific and western Atlantic (Florida). These authors found consistent morphological differences between the eastern Pacific and western Atlantic specimens, viz. in the fingers of the minor chela, and removed <i>A. packardii</i> from the synonymy of <i>A. normanni</i>. However, the taxonomy of both <i>A. normanni</i> and <i>A. packardii</i> remains unsettled due to the presence of several cryptic taxa in the eastern Pacific and western Atlantic (A. Anker, in study). Thus, it is presently impossible to determine the true identity of the Bahian material.</p>Published as part of <i>Almeida, Alexandre O., Boehs, Guisla, Araújo-Silva, Catarina L. & Bezerra, Luis Ernesto A., 2012, Shallow-water caridean shrimps from southern Bahia, Brazil, including the first record of Synalpheus ul (Ríos & Duffy, 2007) (Alpheidae) in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 3347</i> on pages 11-12, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/214608">10.5281/zenodo.214608</a>
“I’m Not Sam!”: Dialect, Phonetic Transcription, and Language Change in the Novels of Kingsley Amis
No full textThe British novelist Kingsley Amis was interested in language and usage, often using linguistic habits or features to make a point (usually a negative one) about a character. His book, The King’s English: a Guide to Modern Usage, is an updating of H.W. Fowler’s Modern English Usage and an homage to Fowler as well. It addresses vocabulary, pronunciation, style, variation, and change, and many of its entries could be illustrated by a quote from one of Amis’s novels. This paper looks at examples of regional and social dialects in Amis\u27s novels and discusses the author\u27s approach to phonetic transcription and attitudes toward language change
Semantic-based Process Mining and Analysis
No full textSemantic-based Process Mining and AnalysisWhat is it about?The work in this research proves that semantic-based process mining and analysis is a useful technique especially in solving some didactic issues and answering some questions with regards to ontology-based methods for automatic discovery of different patterns or behaviours within any given process domain.Why is it important?The work extracts streams of event logs from a any given process execution environment and then describe formats that allows for abstract mining and improved process analysis of the captured data sets and models. Technically, the method makes use of semantic annotations, or better still, process description languages to link elements within the events log and model (e.g. using the case study of the research learning process) with concepts that they represent in an ontology specifically designed for representing the process.

IMPACT OF FLOATING EXCHANGE RATE ON THE OUTPUT, EXPORT AND EMPLOYMENT IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN BEEF INDUSTRY
No full textThe purpose of the study is to analyse the impact of floating exchange rate through the long-run and short-run changes or dynamic relations amongst total production, Volume of exports and total employment from 1995 to 2020, using a time-series analysis. The study adopts the secondary time series data for total production, volume of exports and total employment. Descriptive statistics was adopted to describe the features of the data quantitatively and to profile the beef industry. Unit root test was performed for the integration of variables where data exabits mixture of level and first integration. Bound test shows that variables are somehow associated in the long run due to their short run cointegration. The results from the cointegration test and the ARDL-ECM estimation suggest a long-run effect among total production, volume of exports and total employment. The adjustment term or coefficient of ECT of dependent variables suggests that the past year’s errors are corrected for the current year at a convergence speed of 0.93, 1.72 and 1.06 percentage points, respectively. Furthermore, Causal relation or effect results for beef industry shows that single directional causality effect exists between, or which runs from volume of exports total production output, exchange rate to volume of exports and lastly, causal effect run from volume of exports to total employment. The overall conclusion is that floating exchange rate impact on total production, volume of exports and total employment in the beef industry of the South African red meat industry
