Slavic immigrants in the Pennsylvania anthracite fields, 1880-1902 : a study of the contrast between social expectations and immigrant group behaviorBarendse, Michael A. January 1976 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the apparent contrast between community expectations concerning Slavic immigrants in the anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania in the late nineteenth century and the actual behavior of the immigrants. While established groups in the anthracite fields, and American society at large, expected that the immigrants would threatenwage scales in the anthracite industry, primary evidence indicates that the Slavs did not do so. However, the community expectations proved to be so strong that almost all accounts of the immigration of Slavic labor assert that the many union failures, and the traditionally depressed wages in the anthracite region, were the result of the eastern European influx.The contrast between the community expectations and the actual behavior of the Slavic immigrants is illustrated in the presentation of three case studies. The first is a study of the content of a Scranton, Pennsylvania newspaper, the Scranton Republican, which concentrates on latent and overt anti-immigrant biases in editorial and reportorial copy. This study also reviews the content of the publications of contemporary observers and scholars which are shown to contain anti-Slavic biases as well. A second study examines the emergence of the Polish National Catholic Church, which demonstrates the ability of the immigrants to manipulate complex American insititutions such as the court system, and to create for themselves a complicated formal structure to meet their spiritual needs. This was done in the face of vigorous opposition by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Scranton. Lastly, this thesis contains a study of the organization .of the United Mine Workers union in the anthracite region, which shows that it was the Slavic immigrant workers who made the unionization of the anthracite industry possible, after fifty years of failure by the established American, Welsh, and Irish miners.This contrast between historical fact and social perception is explained by using the hypothesis proposed by social psychologist Erving Goffman, and modified by sociologists Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann. That thesis asserts that social reality is based on perceptions of events, rather than the events themselves. Since those perceptions are based on social expectations, it can be said that, in the case of the Slavic anthracite workers the negative expectations of American society concerning the eastern Europeans produced negative conclusions concerning their behavior, despite much evidence to the contrary. Those negative conclusions remained in the literature of the anthracite industry until the publication of a study by historian Victor Greene, The Slavic Community on Strike, in 1968, which finally revised the record concerning the Slavic mine workers.While the conclusions reached in this study remain tentative, pending comparative studies in other geographic locations and industries would seem to support the position that intergroup friction is sometimes the result of faulty perceptions on the part of a dominant group rather than any real threat posed by a minority. The possibility that prejudice has primarily cultural rather than economic roots may offer an alternative to the present emphasis on economic opportunity in the efforts to eradicate discrimination within American society.

Working for family, nation and God : paternalism and the Dupuis Frères department store, Montreal, 1926-1952Matthews, Mary Catherine. January 1997 (has links)
From 1868 to 1978, the Dupuis Freres department store serviced the French Montreal community from its headquarters on St. Catherine Street, east of Saint Laurent. This thesis looks at the management strategies of Dupuis Freres through its employee newspaper, Le Duprex, from 1926 to 1946, and then at their collapse with the Dupuis Freres strike in 1952. The Dupuis Freres management retained the loyalty of its employees by using a combination of paternalism and welfare capitalism. The company supported a union, organized leisure activities, provided sales incentives and rewarded loyalty financially and socially. In addition, the store integrated its French Canadian and Catholic identity with its employees' understanding of their work to impart cultural meaning to their employment. Dupuis Freres equated support for the company with the success of the French Canadian people, and its connections with the Catholic clergy added a sacred element to its enterprise. Dupuis Freres strike in 1952 divided French Canadians along class lines, and those who supported the workers were seen by neo-nationalists as doing so at the expense of French Canadian survival.

Μελέτη - επεξεργασία σφαλμάτων στα δίκτυα μέσης τάσης στην περιοχή της ΒοιωτίαςΜαρίνης, Χαράλαμπος 13 October 2013 (has links)
Σε αυτή την διπλωματική εργασία θα γίνει μελέτη της συμπεριφοράς γραμμών διανομής σε καταπονήσεις από κεραυνούς.
Η πτώση ενός κεραυνού είτε απευθείας πάνω στο δίκτυο είτε κοντά σε αυτό προκαλεί βίαιες μετακινήσεις φορτίων μέσα στο δίκτυο υπό την μορφή ρεύματος Ι, πολλών (kA). Τα φορτία οδεύουν κατά μήκος των γραμμών και κατά τις δυο διευθύνσεις με τη μορφή οδεύοντων κυμάτων τάσεως και αντίστοιχου ρεύματος, μέχρις ότου εξαφανισθούν λόγω απόσβεσης ή διαρροής ή διάσπασης της μονωτικής ικανότητας των γραμμών.
Η τάση που επάγεται (V=I*Z) συνήθως υπερβαίνει την κρουστική τάση αντοχής των μονώσεων του δικτύου και, αν δεν υπάρχει κατάλληλη προστασία της γραμμής προκαλεί διάσπαση της μόνωσης. Έτσι η στάθμη αντοχής της μόνωσης π.χ. των μετασχηματιστών, των διακοπτών κτλ. του δικτύου, πρέπει να είναι σημαντικά ανώτερη από την στάθμη της τάσεως, που μπορεί να εγγυηθεί η προστασία, που παρέχουν τα μέσα προστασίας.
Η ηλεκτρική μόνωση στα περισσότερα συστήματα διανομής δεν είναι ομογενής. Η στάθμη μόνωσης (BIL) σε ένα δοσμένο τμήμα γραμμής μεταβάλλεται ευρέως. Επιπλέον οι γραμμές διανομής είναι σύνθετα ηλεκτρικά κυκλώματα τα οποία δεν είναι εύκολο να προσαρμοστούν σε κάποιο συγκεκριμένο μαθηματικό μοντέλο και να αναλυθούν για να προσδιορίσουμε τη στάθμη μόνωσης. Όμως οι μέθοδοι που προτείνονται σε αυτή τη διπλωματική εργασία είναι μαθηματικά απλές και αποδεικνύουν μόνο κατάλληλες προσεγγίσεις για τον σχεδιασμό των πιο συνήθων γραμμών διανομής.
Ο σχεδιασμός της προστασίας από κεραυνούς σε γραμμές διανομής γίνεται λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα εξής αποτελέσματα.
1. Τον αριθμό των βραχυκυκλωμάτων που θα συμβούν σε μια γραμμή διανομής όταν αυτή πλήττεται άμεσα από κεραυνούς.
2. Τον αριθμό των βραχυκυκλωμάτων που θα συμβούν εξαιτίας των πληγμάτων κεραυνών σε γειτονικό έδαφος.
Στο πρώτο μέρος της εργασίας αναφέρεται η ΙΕΕΕ οδηγία για τη συμπεριφορά έναντι κεραυνών των εναέριων γραμμών διανομής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Σκοπός της είναι να παρουσιάσει εναλλακτικές λύσεις για τη μείωση των βραχυκυκλωμάτων που προκαλούνται από κεραυνό στις εναέριες γραμμές.
Συγκεκριμένα θα προσδιοριστεί η συμπεριφορά των εναέριων γραμμών διανομής σε περίπτωση πτώσης κεραυνού (πλήγματα κεραυνών και βραχυκυκλώματα από επαγόμενη τάση), το επίπεδο μόνωσης των γραμμών διανομής, η προστασία των γραμμών διανομής με προστατευτικό αγωγό καθώς επίσης και η προστασία των γραμμών με αλεξικέραυνα.
Στο δεύτερο μέρος της εργασίας, θα αναπτυχθεί η καταγραφή σφαλμάτων και βλαβών λόγω πτώσεως κεραυνών στο δίκτυο της Μ.Τ. σε μετασχηματιστές καθώς και στις γραμμές διανομής Μ.Τ. κατά το έτος 2009-2010 στην περιοχή της Θήβας και γίνεται η συσχέτισή τους με τα θεωρητικά αποτελέσματα. / In the present "Diploma thesis", the behavior of the electric distribution lines under lightning strikes will be studied.
A lightning strike,directly on an electric distribution line or indirectly nearby the line, will cause a violent charge movement.Which is actually current (many kA) propagating on the distribution line.The charges are traveling along the distribution line on both directions as traveling waves of voltage and current, until they disappear because of dumping,leakage or breakdown of the insulation ability of the line.
The induced voltage (V=I*Z) exceeds the maximum impulse voltage that an insulation can afford, and if a protection is not present an insulation breakdown could be caused. Thus, B.I.L of transformers, switchers e.t.c of a distribution system has to be greater than the voltage level, which the protection can warrantee,and the protection utilities can provide.
In most electrical distribution systems the electrical insulation is not homogeneous.
B.I.L differentiates for a specific electrical transmission line. Furthermore,distribution lines are complex electrical circuits for which is difficult to be described and analyzed by a mathematical model in order to determine the insulation level. But in this diploma thesis, the mathematical models which are used are simple and proofing only the proper approximations for the design of the most common transmission lines.
The design of lightning protection for transmission lines take care the following results.
1. The number of short-circuits that will occur in a transmission line if stroked direct by lightning.
2. The number of short-circuits that will occur in a transmission line if stroked indirect (in the nearby ground) by lightning.
In the first part of this thesis is dedicated to the IEEE standard for the behavior of the overheaded electrical transmission lines. The purpose is to present alternative solutions in order to reduce short-circuits caused by lightning strokes. Specifically,the behavior of the overheaded electrical distribution lines when a lighting stroke (lightning stroke and induced voltage),the insulation level of the lines, the protection of the distribution lines with an over-running earth wire and the protection of the lines with surge diverters will be specified.
In the second part of this thesis ,the faults and breakdowns caused by lightning strikes on the middle voltage (M.V) transformers and distribution lines,in 2009-10,at Thiva area will be presented and associated with theoretical results.

Political unrest under IMF programmes : labour mobility, fiscal conditionality, and democratic representationMetinsoy, Saliha January 2017 (has links)
What triggers political unrest under International Monetary Fund (IMF) programmes? Why do we see unrest - protests, strikes, and riots - in some countries under IMF programmes and not in others? This thesis argues that IMF labour conditionality in an immobile labour market compounded by intrusive fiscal conditionality and blocked democratic channels result in unrest. Where labour is immobile in the borrowing country, IMF labour conditionality decentralising the market creates large-scale grievances among the labour groups. Immobile labour groups substantially lose income and benefits under those measures due to high wage differentials and varied labour protection measures across sectors. Moreover, uncertainty and risks increase, while the opportunities to return back to employment or to maintain the existing income and benefits diminish. When the political authority is unable to address the rising grievances due to tight fiscal conditionality and blocked democratic channels, we observe political unrest under IMF programmes. Where labour is mobile, on the other hand, it is easier for workers to switch between sectors and jobs when the economic crisis hits their sector. The labour groups respond to the internal crisis and the external impact by increasing mobility and switching to the sectors that are still growing despite the crisis. Labour conditions do not give rise to a similar degree of uncertainty and risks compared to immobile markets. Hence, programmes are implemented without large-scale unrest. The study tests this theory in a global sample of 117 countries between 1970 and 2013 and investigates the impact of mobility and IMF conditionality on unrest with a data set originally compiled and coded for this study. It then delves into two extreme cases, Greece, 2010 and Turkey, 2001. While Greece had extreme immobility and received intrusive labour and fiscal conditionality in 2010, Turkey is located on the opposite end of the spectrum, with very high levels of mobility, the limited number of labour conditions, and greater fiscal space. We see that while Greece witnessed large-scale unrest in 2010, Turkey implemented the programme smoothly. Finally, the study applies the theory into three shadow cases, Ireland, 2010, Latvia, 2008, and Portugal, 2011 and demonstrates that the varied degrees of mobility and conditionality and fiscal conditionality result in different degrees of unrest.

Previous issue date: 2007 / O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as relações e práticas de trabalho existentes no Recôncavo Sul da Bahia, durante os anos de 1879 a 1910. O principal recorte desta análise é o cotidiano de específicas categorias de trabalhadores que se organizaram em torno de serviços e atividades produtivas, algumas delas consideradas primazes na formação da economia baiana no final do século XIX e início do século XX. Em um segundo momento, são analisados os conflitos desses trabalhadores e estratégias na busca de direitos e garantias, demonstrando o “amadurecimento” de suas experiências e as divergências existentes nos “mundos do trabalho”. Tentou-se seguir, aqui, a proposta da Historiografia Social do Trabalho, abordando aspectos da história regional, e, privilegiando o estudo das ações coletivas em um universo de trabalhos marcado por conflitos. / Salvador

Memórias de uma escola em greve : reminiscências de professoras do Instituto de Educação General Flores da Cunha - Porto Alegre/RS (1979-1990)Ozorio, Maria Beatriz Vieira Branco January 2015 (has links)
O presente artigo aborda as mobilizações de professoras, materializado nas greves do magistério público estadual do Rio Grande do Sul, no período compreendido entre 1979 a 1990. Para isso foi escolhida a Escola Estadual General Flores da Cunha, em Porto Alegre, entre outros motivos pela sua destacada liderança nas greves do período estudado, nas mobilizações da categoria, tendo como horizonte a efetiva participação das professoras no movimento grevista. A partir desse lugar, a pesquisa elege como principal corpus documental narrativas de memória de professoras da escola em questão que aderiram total ou parcialmente às greves dos anos 1979 e 1990. A metodologia da pesquisa é a História Oral, que foi desenvolvida a partir de entrevistas. Importa dizer que a investigação procura contextualizar as narrativas de memória em suas interfaces com o momento político vivido no país, especialmente, no Rio Grande do Sul. Nesta perspectiva, a abordagem da investigação não perde de vista as transformações ocorridas no magistério público diante de políticas públicas vigentes, destacando o papel do Centro dos Professores do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul - CPERS, que agregou o nome de sindicato a partir de 1989. No cruzamento de fontes, busca-se um maior entendimento acerca da temática da pesquisa ao ouvir as narrativas dessas mulheres-professoras, que atuando nas salas de aula, tiveram significativas e até decisiva participação nas greves do magistério A pesquisa se inscreve no campo da História da Educação e tem a História Cultural como vertente teórica. Pretende ouvir as experiências das professoras, a partir de suas memórias e vivências nos momentos de greve, seus silêncios, ou não ditos, procurando entrecruzar suas narrativas com os registros sindicais e notícias da imprensa local. A pesquisa busca conhecer as histórias dessas professoras que, não estando nas lideranças do movimento grevista, atuaram dentro das escolas, nas ruas e acampadas nas praças. Procura compreender seus sentimentos, seu olhar sobre o vivido e o sentido durante as greves. O estudo dialoga com a perspectiva de Michel Foucault sobre os homens infames, aqueles que durante séculos foram esquecidos por uma História que privilegiava as ações de uns, eleitos como merecedores de terem suas vidas narradas, destinando outros a um estado de marginalidade, de anonimato. Através das entrevistas, procuro trazer à tona este passado das greves em que foram sujeitos muitas mulheres-professoras. Esse ato de lembrar, afirma Lucilia de Almeida Neves, insere-se entre as possibilidades múltiplas de registro do passado, elaboração das representações e afirmação de identidades construídas na dinâmica da História. Não perdendo de vista a afirmação de Alistair Thomson, compomos nossas memórias para dar sentido à nossa vida passada e presente. Relembrar, revisitar as memórias atualizando o tempo passado, tornando-o vivo e cheio de significados no presente. / This is a study about the history of education in Rio Grande do Sul materialized in strikes of the state public teaching of Rio Grande do Sul, in the period 1979 to 1997. For this it was chosen the State School General Flores da Cunha, in Porto Alegre, among other reasons for his outstanding leadership in the strikes of the period studied, the mobilizations in the category, having as perspective the effective participation of teachers in the strike movement. From that place, research elected as main corpus documentary narratives school teachers memory in question adhering whole or in part to strikes the years 1979 and 1997. The research methodology is the oral history, which was developed from interviews. It said that the research aims to contextualize the memory narrative in its interface with the political moment lived in the country, especially in Rio Grande do Sul. In this perspective, the research approach to not lose sight of the transformations occurred in the public teaching before prevailing public policies, highlighting the role of the Centro dos Professores do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul - CPERS, which added the union name from 1989. At the intersection of sources, we seek a greater understanding of the theme of research on hearing the stories of these women-teachers, who working in the classrooms had significant and even decisive role in the teaching strikes The research is inserted in the field of History of Education and Cultural History as the theoretical branch. The experiences of teachers were heard, from their memories and experiences in times of strike, his silences, or not said, looking for to connect their stories with union records and news from local media. The research seeks to know the stories of teachers who for not being as the strike movement leaders they acted within schools, on the streets and camped in the squares. It try to understand her feelings, her gaze on the lived and felt during the strikes. The study relates to the prospect of Michel Foucault about the infamous men, those who for centuries have been forgotten by history that favored the actions of some, elected as worthy of having their lives narrated, leading others to a state of marginalization, anonymity. Through interviews, I try to bring to light this past strikes on the as subject were many women-teachers. This act of remembering, says Lucilia de Almeida Neves, is inserted between the multiple possibilities past record, working out of representations and affirmation of identities constructed in the dynamics of History. Not losing sight of Alistair Thomson statement, we compose our memories to make sense of our past life and present. Remember, revisit the memories, updating the past, making it alive and full of meaning in the present.
