Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

In this study author Caroline Huey analyzes the copious literary output of medieval poet and barber-surgeon Hans Folz in all its variety-whether Meisterlied Reimpaarspruch or carnival play. Heretofore published research to do with Folz's multifaceted and compelling oeuvre has been fragmentary because scholars have restricted themselves by genre in examining themes in Folz's work. By integrating the different themes across Folz's output and by integrating consideration (previously neglected by earlier critics) of Folz's role as barber-surgeon Huey offers new insights as to the interaction of these themes and to the character of the poet's work overall. She shows that ultimately Folz is concerned with the circulation of knowledge and power correct and incorrect behavior and above all with finding order. In each chapter Huey examines a particular theme from Folz's life and/or work. She looks at how adeptly he commandeers the new technology of printing to further his own ends; how his ubiquitous physicality connects his medical body to his Christian body; his attitude toward women; and the anti-Jewish thread in his work. | Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

Themes in Value and Distribution Classical Theory Reappraised

The essays in this volume first published in 1989 seek to re-examine an important area of economic theory: value and distribution. In a sustained and analytical critique two principle methodological approaches are compared and distinguished: the Classical or ‘surplus-based’ theories and the demand-and-supply-based equilibrium (DSE) theories. Although the essays are primarily concerned with value and distribution the critique necessarily extends to the theory of output and employment and in general to the theory of trade and accumulation. The book will be an invaluable reader for students of economic thought capital theory and Marxian political economy. | Themes in Value and Distribution Classical Theory Reappraised

Before and After Corroboree: The Music of John Antill

John Antill (1904-1986) was one of the foremost composers of Australia's post-colonial period. Although a relatively prolific and much esteemed composer in Australia Antill's wider reputation is sustained chiefly by his famous ballet Corroboree - a work which was perceived to bring an authentic Australian musical style before both a national and international audience for the first time. Through Sir Eugene Goossens' championship the work was heard by enthusiastic audiences in Australia Britain Europe and the USA and was for many years the best-known work of any Australian-born and resident composer. Indeed it has remained for both Australian and overseas audiences an Australian musical icon. David Symons traces Antill's development as a composer from his early pre-Corroboree works which display a late Romantic to post-impressionist style through an analysis of the virile dissonant primitivist idiom of his magnum opus to an examination of his later output of theatrical orchestral and vocal/choral works. The book provides comprehensive and valuable insight into Antill's musical output at the same time focussing on more detailed analyses of his major works which have reached public performances and/or recordings. In this way the book not only presents a developmental picture of Antill's works but also demonstrates why they have made him one of Australia's most prominent musical creators of the post-colonial period. | Before and After Corroboree: The Music of John Antill

Analysing English-Arabic Machine Translation Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr

Machine Translation (MT) has become widely used throughout the world as a medium of communication between those who live in different countries and speak different languages. However translation between distant languages constitutes a challenge for machines. Therefore translation evaluation is poised to play a significant role in the process of designing and developing effective MT systems. This book evaluates three prominent MT systems including Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr each of which provides translation between English and Arabic. In the book Almahasees scrutinizes the capacity of the three systems in dealing with translation between English and Arabic in a large corpus taken from various domains including the United Nation (UN) the World Health Organization (WHO) the Arab League Petra News Agency reports and two literary texts: The Old Man and the Sea and The Prophet. The evaluation covers holistic analysis to assess the output of the three systems in terms of Translation Automation User Society (TAUS) adequacy and fluency scales. The text also looks at error analysis to evaluate the systems’ output in terms of orthography lexis grammar and semantics at the entire-text level and in terms of lexis grammar and semantics at the collocation level. The research findings contained within this volume provide important feedback about the capabilities of the three MT systems with respect to EnglishArabic translation and paves the way for further research on such an important topic. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of translation studies and translation technology. | Analysing English-Arabic Machine Translation Google Translate Microsoft Translator and Sakhr

Technological Transformation in the Third World: Volume 2 Africa

Originally published in 1993 this book contains 3 studies on Africa: Algeria Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The studies underline the difficulties which Africa has faced in initiating its technological transformation. During the post WW2 period liberation from colonialism came relatively late and therefore many African countries did not have the possibility of participating in the rapid growth of global output and trade. Debt drought and famine have put additional burdens on the economic conditions of the continet. Adverse conditions and poor infrastructure have made the continent much more vulnerable to both external and internal disturbances and as a result many countries have not had the opportunity to make a real beginning towards their transformation. | Technological Transformation in the Third World: Volume 2 Africa

A Strategic Approach to the UK Construction Industry

The construction industry is a microcosm of the economy as a whole and as such the economics of the sector contains many of the aspects of the economy in general albeit with fascinating and unique features. What are the implications of economic theory for the future of UK construction? How does the industry ensure innovation quality and efficiency? What priorities might best serve the construction industry those working in it and their customers?In seeking answers to these and other questions the UK government has commissioned a number of reports on the construction industry including the Latham and Egan reports and more recently Construction 2025. These have invariably proposed time and cost targets for the construction industry. In this new book Stephen Gruneberg stands in stark contrast to those reports and presents the relevant theoretical aspects of construction economics to account for the behaviour of construction firms and suggest a strategy for future growth and sustainability. He discusses the theory and data relating to the output of firms in relation to the type of firm the market and how these firms behave as a result. The purpose of this book is to advocate the measures needed to create the kind of industry that must be fostered to ensure the quality of its output sustainability and the fair terms and conditions of employment for its workforce. Gruneberg’s new book is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the economic forces that determine industry outcomes and who has a stake in the success of the UK construction sector. | A Strategic Approach to the UK Construction Industry

Regional Productivity Growth In China's Agriculture

This study by Shenggen Fan makes three important and original contributions. It is the first study to report regional patterns of productivity growth in Chinese agriculture. There have been dramatic differences in output and productivity growth among Chinese regions. The second contribution is to measure the separate effects of technical change and institutional reform on productivity growth. Much of the rapid growth in agricultural production and in productivity since the late 1970s has been a consequence of an important series of institutional reforms. The third contribution is the first test of the induced innovation hypothesis against experience in a centrally planned economy. Regional patterns of productivity growth are consistent with the hypothesis that the path of technical change has been responsive to regional differences in resource endowments. | Regional Productivity Growth In China's Agriculture

Subsequent chapters analyse effective demand since 1970 both with respect to its demographic base and as regards the capacity to buy. In particular the question of why people want to buy is asked and the supply of housing (both council houses and former private rented accommodation) as well as the output of speculative housebuilders is considered. A detailed survey of the perturbations in the housing market during the volatile experience of the British economy since 1970 is also covered. | Owner-Occupation in Britain
