Book Description
Proceedings from a conference "A global assessment of the 1989 recommendation on the safeguarding of traditional culture and folklore" held at the Smithsonian Institution June 27-30 1999. The purpose of the conference was to assess the implementation of the Recommendation (an international normative instrument adopted by UNESCO in 1989), to bring together points of view and perspectives on the Recommendaion from around the world, and suggest ways in which the Recommendation might develop in the future so that its purpose, the safeguarding of traditional culture and folklore, might be achieved.

The Sounds of Early Cinema
Author: Richard Abel
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 9780253108708
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The Sounds of Early Cinema is devoted exclusively to a little-known, yet absolutely crucial phenomenon: the ubiquitous presence of sound in early cinema. "Silent cinema" may rarely have been silent, but the sheer diversity of sound(s) and sound/image relations characterizing the first 20 years of moving picture exhibition can still astonish us. Whether instrumental, vocal, or mechanical, sound ranged from the improvised to the pre-arranged (as in scripts, scores, and cue sheets). The practice of mixing sounds with images differed widely, depending on the venue (the nickelodeon in Chicago versus the summer Chautauqua in rural Iowa, the music hall in London or Paris versus the newest palace cinema in New York City) as well as on the historical moment (a single venue might change radically, and many times, from 1906 to 1910). Contributors include Richard Abel, Rick Altman, Edouard Arnoldy, Mats Björkin, Stephen Bottomore, Marta Braun, Jean Châteauvert, Ian Christie, Richard Crangle, Helen Day-Mayer, John Fullerton, Jane Gaines, André Gaudreault, Tom Gunning, François Jost, Charlie Keil, Jeff Klenotic, Germain Lacasse, Neil Lerner, Patrick Loughney, David Mayer, Domi-nique Nasta, Bernard Perron, Jacques Polet, Lauren Rabinovitz, Isabelle Raynauld, Herbert Reynolds, Gregory A. Waller, and Rashit M. Yangirov.

Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research
Author: Aditya Johri
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107785855
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1124
Book Description
The Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research is the critical reference source for the growing field of engineering education research, featuring the work of world luminaries writing to define and inform this emerging field. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning. Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education (2005), in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing. The Handbook is based on the research agenda from a series of interdisciplinary colloquia funded by the US National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Engineering Education in October 2006.

Book Description
This report reviews engineering's importance to human, economic, social and cultural development and in addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals. Engineering tends to be viewed as a national issue, but engineering knowledge, companies, conferences and journals, all demonstrate that it is as international as science. The report reviews the role of engineering in development, and covers issues including poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation. It presents the various fields of engineering around the world and is intended to identify issues and challenges facing engineering, promote better understanding of engineering and its role, and highlight ways of making engineering more attractive to young people, especially women.--Publisher's description.

Perspectives of Law and Culture on the End-of-life Legislations in France, Germany, India, Italy and United Kingdom
Author: Stéphanie Rohlfing-Dijoux
Publisher: Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft
ISBN: 9783848754922
Category : Advance directives (Medical care)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Présentation de l'éditeur : "The interactions between law and culture in addressing the legal problems at the end of a life are currently being discussed in many countries. The discourse on this issue should be multidisciplinary, taking into account its legal, medical, ethical, philosophical and anthropological aspects. The concepts designed to manage the legal problems that occur when a life comes to an end are closely linked to the culture of each country. For this reason, countries with different cultural backgrounds have been selected for this comparative end-of-life study. In France, Germany and Italy, which have a continental legal system, the United Kingdom, which has a common law system, and India, the various religions and cultures exert an important influence on the modernisation of the legislation in this respect. The book deals with recent legislative changes and developments in the countries surveyed."

Conception d'un système de gestion de bases de données réparties
Author: Stefano Spaccapietra
Publisher: FeniXX
ISBN: 2307360301
Category : Computers
Languages : fr
Pages : 162
Book Description
Au cours des prochaines années, l'utilisation des systèmes informatiques répartis deviendra une des composantes essentielles de notre société. Le succès de leurs applications dépendra, étroitement, de la conception des systèmes de gestion des bases de données, réparties (SGBDR) en vue de leur bonne adaptation aux besoins des utilisateurs. C'est pourquoi les utilisateurs et les informaticiens doivent réfléchir, dès maintenant, aux problèmes que pose la conception de ces nouveaux systèmes. Le but de ce livre, actuellement unique en son genre en langue française, est d'aider les uns et les autres dans cette tâche. Il propose une analyse détaillée et progressive, en vue d'identifier les problèmes et de choisir les solutions, qui jalonnent le processus de la conception d'un SGBDR. Il permet de comprendre les principes de base de ces systèmes, et d'en connaître, précisément et complètement, les possibilités fonctionnelles. Cette analyse privilégie, en effet, l'étude des interactions entre les besoins des utilisateurs et les spécifications du système : c'est dans la conformité de celles-ci à ceux-là, plus que dans les processus techniques, que se joue l'avenir de cette informatique. L'ouvrage s'adresse donc à la fois aux utilisateurs, auxquels la clarté de la rédaction le rend facilement accessible, aux ingénieurs qui ont à évaluer l'apport de ces nouvelles techniques, aux informaticiens, qui auront à concevoir des systèmes répartis, et aux chercheurs qui veulent s'initier à ce domaine de l'informatique. Les principaux points abordés par l'auteur sont les suivants : - pourquoi recourir à l'informatique répartie ? - qu'est-ce qu'un système de gestion de bases de données réparties ? - définition de l'environnement réparti et de l'environnement local ; - définition du schéma global d'un SGBDR ; - la répartition des données ; - l'architecture du système, les différentes fonctions ; - les utilisateurs face à la répartition. L'ouvrage est complété par deux chapitres, l'un sur les tendances actuelles de la recherche, l'autre sur les conséquences de l'informatique répartie sur la vie des entreprises, sur les libertés individuelles et sur le développement de l'informatique.
