Jonny Greenwood Water / Mozart Night Music - Australian Chamber Orchestra [Recorded Performance]
No full textThis month, old becomes new again as the Australian Chamber Orchestra and ABC Classics present the first Australian-produced classical vinyl for two decades. Featuring the world-premiere recording of Water by Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, the LP also covers more traditional territory with Mozart's popular Eine kleine Nachtmusik.
Water was written following Greenwood's stint as the ACO's Composer in Residence in 2012. Its inspiration is Philip Larkin's poem of the same name, which alludes to a glass of water 'where any-angled light would congregate endlessly'. Scored for strings, flutes, keyboard, piano and two Indian tanpura, it takes the form of a continuous 15-minute movement.
The LP format inspired the pairing with Mozart's ubiquitous Eine kleine Nachtmusik. 'We have chosen an outrageous combination of works that you would never consider pairing, unless it were on an LP,' says Richard Tognetti
Micro-credentials and Research Skills Development
No full textThe New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has recently formalised a new microcredential policy and piloted a series of small skills based courses that align to the NZQA
credit framework.While this is not yet gaining traction in Universities, Tertiary Education Organisations (TEO’s)
with a strong skills based focus are finding new ways of rewarding, and recognising, learning
through this new policy and framework. The policies focus is not only on TEO’s. NZQA have formalised a process for non-TEO’s
(professional groups, accreditation boards, communities) to benchmark their skills based
learning programmes for micro-credential equivalency - https://www.nzqa.govt.nz/providers-partners/approval-accreditation-andregistration/micro-credentials/equivalency/ This birds of a feather session opens up the discussion, and possibilities, of nationally
recognised credentials and development pathways for RSE’s and research support staff with
a particular focus on skills based and professional practice assessment. Is this something our
communities want, lets discuss! ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S) Jonny Flutey - https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2210-755X</div

\u27\u27Where the Mask Ends and the Face Begins Is Not Certain\u27\u27: Mediating Ethnicity and Cheating Geography in Jonny Steinberg\u27s Little Liberia
No full textMixing historical commentary, reportage, biography and personal stories, South African writer Jonny Steinberg takes up the tale of a fractured African nation and its diaspora in Little Liberia: An African Odyssey in New York City (2011). The "little Liberia" founded in New York\u27s urban jungle may have represented, for many of its inhabitants, a way to "cheat geography" by recreating a home away from home, but Little Uberia shows the reader it has not allowed them to cheat history. The book deals with the lives of two inhabitants of Park Hill Avenue on Staten Island, where nearly everyone is Liberian. Their conflict threatens to implode the community, igniting suspicions and accusations that had been bottled up since their exile. The article focuses on the interface of mediated ethnicity and citizenship related to the struggle for power in the diasporic Liberian community on Staten Island. Attention is also paid to feelings of identity of Little Liberia\u27s author.
Opsomming Met \u27n mengelmoes van historiese kommentaar, verslaggewing, biografiese en persoonlike stories vertel Suid-Afrikaanse outeur Jonny Steinberg die verhaal van \u27n gebroke Afrika-volk in Little Liberia: An African Odyssey in New York City (2011). "Little Liberia" wat in die betonoerwoud New York ontstaan het, is vir baie van sy inwoners \u27n manier om "geografie te flous" deur \u27n tuiste weg van hul vaderland te skep. Little Liberia laat die leser egter sien dat die geskiedenis self nie om die bos gelei kan word nie. Die boek beskryf die lewens van twee inwoners van Park Hill Avenue op Staten Island, waar byna alma! Liberiaans leef. Die konflik tussen hierdie twee dreig om onderdrukte gevoelens van suspisie en beskuldingings wat opgekrop is sedert die begin van hul ballingskap te laat ontplof en die gemeenskap te vernietig. Die artikel fokus op die raakvlak van bemiddelde etnisiteit en burgerskap gekoppel aan die magstryd in die ontwortelde Liberiese gemeenskap op Staten Eiland. Daar word ook aandag geskenk aan die identiteitsgevoelens van die outeur van Little Liberia

No full textO trabalho como atividade humana intencional de transformação da natureza e da sociedade e a criação de valor tem um significado inegável na definição da condição humana. Esta é uma variável multideterminada, subordinada pelos fatores econômicos, ideológicos e tecnológicos, entre outros; multideterminante enquanto cumpre várias funções psicossociais. Assim, é evidente a centralidade social e subjetiva do trabalho para os seres humanos em relação à sua luta pela conquista da dignidade e da felicidade pessoal e social. Isso torna o trabalho reconhecido em várias das suas funções: econômicas, sociais e psicológicas. Porém, o trabalho também tem a condição dialética de ser tanto potencialmente uma fonte de realização pessoal e de emancipação quanto uma fonte de mal-estar social e alienação, isto é, o trabalho pode ser uma força de integração ou de desintegração no nível social e subjetivo. No entanto, no contexto do trabalho atual, caracterizado por um conjunto de reestruturações contínuas orientadas a assegurar o máximo ganho econômico das empresas, impõe-se um sistema de flexibilidade e constante reestruturação que envolve uma maior heterogeneidade, complexidade, forte individualização e desregulamentação das relações de trabalho, resultando na fragmentação significativa do trabalho: tarefas, horários, equipes, trajetórias de indivíduos e mercados de trabalho. Este contexto por sua vez, define um novo cenário sociolaboral que pode estar impactando de modo diferente o papel psicossocial reconhecido do trabalho e tornando-se um elemento essencial para uma experiência, mais ou menos generalizada, mas não absoluta, de mal-estar subjetivo no trabalho. O objetivo deste trabalho de pesquisa teórica é descrever e analisar como a anatomia atual de fragmentação sociolaboral pode tornar-se numa condição de possibilidade para a experiência de sofrimento subjetivo no trabalho, uma tendência mais ou menos geral. Compreende-se que embora existam situações de sofrimento no campo do trabalho, não poderia ser considerado que são elas apenas que se manifestam como parte da experiência subjetiva no trabalho. Certamente, no mundo do trabalho, há pessoas que recebem os ganhos sublimatórios de articular seu desejo à atividade, embora alguns podem vivenciar a tensão difusa e desgastante que pode ser identificado como mal-estar subjetivo; mas nem todo mundo experimenta no trabalho uma tensão psíquica desgastante, intolerável e sem possibilidade de ser simbolizado pelo inconsciente, que pode ser descrito como sofrimento no trabalho. Para alcançar este objetivo, esta tese começa com uma descrição do estado da arte das pesquisas relacionadas com o prazer e o sofrimento no trabalho, destacando as já feitas no Brasil. Posteriormente reconstrói-se a identidade da avaliação subjetiva do trabalho mostrando a evolução das tendências funcionalistas, e sua ênfase na satisfação, às tendências psicodinâmicas e sua ênfase sobre o prazer / sofrimento. Na sequência é feita uma discussão sobre o mal-estar, o sofrimento e o sintoma no mundo do trabalho seguido da descrição da anatomia da fragmentação sociolaboral e seus resultados no mal-estar no trabalho, descrevendo logo depois as condições que propiciam sua aparição. É discutido o valor do significado do trabalho como uma variável moderadora da significação do mal-estar no trabalho. Tomando como referência a teoria da luta pelo reconhecimento de Honneth e os conceitos da psicodinâmica do reconhecimento trabalhados pelo Dejours, é feita uma discussão sobre o reconhecimento não feito e seus efeitos de mal-estar subjetivo no trabalho. A discussão culmina com uma reflexão sobre as possíveis contribuições da clínica do Lacan para a escuta do mal-estar e o sofrimento no trabalhoWork is an intentional human activity the aim of whih is the transformation of nature, of society and the value creation. It has undeniable weight in the disclosure of the human condition. The latter is a multidetermined variable subjected to economic, ideological and technological factors among many others and as such fulfills several psychological functions. These conditions open to light the social and subjective centrality of jobs to the human struggle to dignity, personal and social happiness. That power reveals the economic, psychological and social functions of work. Work exposes a dialectical condition as a source of personal fulfillment and emancipation and the cause of discontentment and alienation, i.e., an integrative as well as a disintegrative force on subjectivity. Within the current organizational context, characterized by continuous restructuration, flexibility and heterogeneity, complexity and constant deregulation in view of the optimization of economic outcomes, work ends up fragmented concerning its tasks, shifts, equipment and trajectories. These conditions create a new socio-occupational setting the outcome of which is the proneness to distress and suffering. The purpose of this thesis is a theoretical analysis of the current anatomy of socio-occupational fragmentation of work as a condition of the general subjective distress stemming from work engagement. The aim here is the understanding the manifestations of suffering and some of the range of consequences of the present day working conditions. Certainly, there are people enabled to sublimate their desires in their tasks but others unable to do so gain exhaustion and distress. In order to achieve its aim, this work starts with the description of the issue of work pleasure and suffering from research accomplished in Brazil. Thence it goes on reconstruction the identity of he subjective evaluation of work the within functionalism and psychodynamics. Then the discomfort, suffering and symptoms are discussed followed by an explanation of the anatomy of the social and labor impacts of the work fragmentation, its triggering factors and the resulting sensation of upsetting. Those considerations are followed by the discussion of the meaning of work a moderating factor. Drawing on both Honneth`s theory of the struggle for recognition and Dejours`theory of psychodynamic of the recognition, another discussion of spared recognition and the effects of subjective distress are carried out. The thesis is closed with an analysis of the possible contributions of the Lacanian clinic related to the listening of the discomfort and suffering in today`s working contex
Converts and the making of European Islam
No full textThe visibility of converts to Islam in the media has recently undergone an exponential increase - mainly in the United States. There was the case of Jonny Walker, labelled 'Jonny the Taliban', born into the wasp upper class, who was apprehended as mujahid in Afghanistan. Then there was Jose Padilla, the would-be terrorist who was seized in an airport loaded with explosives. Finally, John Allen Williams came on the scene. Of Jamaican ancestry, born in Louisiana, this former American soldier in the Gulf War became the serial killer that terrorized Washington in October 2002 by killing 13 people in cold blood . These three tales have nothing in common, apart from the fact that all three protagonists are converts to Islam

Earth system modelling on the Cray XC50
No full textWith the installation of the new Cray XC50 systems in New Zealand, climate scientists are in a
great position to conduct world leading ‘earth system’ modelling. In these models, the atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere and even ocean ecosystems can be
numerically simulated simultaneously. This is an essential criterion for reliable future climate
projections and to understand impacts which rely on much more than the first order effect of global
warming. The New Zealand community is contributing to these scientific advances, but it is only with the
application of supercomputing that we can do so; supercomputers are our laboratories. In this presentation, we will describe how the models work and will describe in more detail what we
are doing which is unique. Examples of the expertise that we bring to multidisciplinary work include
atmospheric chemistry (in particular simulating stratospheric ozone) and high resolution, nested
ocean modelling over the New Zealand and Antarctic regions. We will also describe how the New Zealand climate science community is contributing to research
projects of national and international importance, such as the Deep South National Science
Challenge and the forthcoming 6th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change. This work is funded by the New Zealand’s Government’s Deep South National Science Challenge. ReferencesWilliams, J., et al., Development of the New Zealand Earth System Model: NZESM,
