När idolerna faller : En eventstudie av Nike Inc

Magnusson, Alexandra, Bojling, Marcus January 2013 (has links)
Inledning: Ett företag som sponsrar en känd person förknippas starkt med denna. Tidigare forskning har visat att det finns en positiv påverkan på aktiepriset och avkastningen hos företag som tecknar sponsringsavtal med kända personer. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av eventstudiemetoden undersöka huruvida tio oväntade händelser relaterade till tre idrottare påverkat aktievärdet för Nike Inc. Teori: Den effektiva marknadshypotesen bygger på antagandet att finansiella marknader är effektiva och att all information finns tillgänglig vilket i sin tur exakt återspeglas i priset på en tillgång. Det finns empiriska belägg för att marknaden inte alltid kan sägas vara effektiv som effektiva marknadshypotesen hävdar, något som teoretiskt kallas för anomali. Metod: Denna studie antar ett deduktivt angreppssätt och har en kvantitativ inriktning. Eventstudiemetoden används för att mäta den tänkbara effekt som en oväntad händelse har på företagets värde. Aktieprisförändringen undersöks genom den kumulativa onormala avkastningen (CAR) och hypotesprövningar görs för att nå en slutsats på syftet och problemformulering. Slutsats: Vi har utfört undersökningen i enlighet med eventstudiemetoden och kommit fram till att 9 av 10 oväntade händelser påverkar aktievärdet för Nike Inc. Detta genom att hypotestesta de oväntade händelserna som har visat ett statistiskt samband, positivt eller negativt, mellan den oväntade händelsen och den kumulativa onormala avkastningen (CAR). Vi har även studerat respektive diagram där vi ser en förändring i CAR efter att nyheten kring de oväntade händelserna släppts men att förändringen i de flesta fall inte är så stor. Vi har också funnit att annan information som släppts av Nike under respektive händelseperioder har haft störst påverkan på CAR, särskilt finansiell information.

Heavy Metal in Medieval Europe

Klimmek, Sean M 21 March 2022 (has links)
How and why did plate armor come to be widely used in Medieval Europe? I trace the historical development of armor in Europe from antiquity to the middle ages, and then identify the main causes that pushed European warriors to develop and adopt plate armor from the 14th to the 16th centuries. I rely on prior research by scholars and historians of arms and armor, as well as primary source documents that describe arms and armor and their use in tournaments and on the battlefield. I conclude that a combination of social, political, military, and technical factors pushed European warriors to adopt plate armor. I also briefly discuss the demise of plate armor due to increasing use of firearms in the 16th century and the growth of professional armies.

Do comércio de retalhos à Feira da Sulanca: uma inserção de migrantes em São Paulo / From trading cloth patches to the Sulanca´Fairs: how northeastern migrants were mobilized to work in this trade in the streets of Brás (São Paulo, Brazil)

Gomes, Sueli de Castro 04 April 2002 (has links)
O comércio de retalhos e resíduos têxteis está localizado nas ruas do Brás, antigo bairro industrial e operário da cidade de São Paulo. Esse bairro, hoje, concentra um grande número de indústrias e lojas de confecções, que vendem no atacado e no varejo para \"sacoleiras\" de todas as partes do Brasil. O comércio de retalhos vai nascer nos interstícios das antigas indústrias têxteis e, posteriormente, se alimentar do rejeito da indústria da confecção que fornece, diariamente, toneladas de resíduos e retalhos para serem comercializados pelos \"retalheiros\". Uma parte desses retalhos e rejeitos é comprada por costureiras da Grande São Paulo e até mesmo por \"sacoleiras\", sendo que a maior parte dessa mercadoria é enviada para Santa Cruz do Capibaribe - cidade do interior pernambucano, que constitui em pólo de confecções de \"sulanca\". São vestuários de qualidade considerada inferior, consumidos, predominantemente, por uma população de baixa renda. O nordestino de menor poder aquisitivo passa a ser consumidor do rejeito das confecções do Centro Sul. O comércio de retalhos e resíduos é controlado, predominantemente, por migrantes nordestinos, formando uma rede de pessoas e mercadorias em torno dessa atividade. Desta forma, procuramos estudar como tais migrantes foram mobilizados para trabalhar nesse comércio nas ruas do Brás. Estudamos as transformações do bairro, desde a ocupação dos italianos até a chegada dos nordestinos, no sentido de entender a presença do comércio em suas ruas. Ao identificar as conexões que esse espaço mantém com outros espaços, construindo uma malha de homens e mercadorias, optamos por seguir a circulação da mercadoria - retalho até o seu destino final, qual seja, as feiras da sulanca de Pernambuco. Dentre as múltiplas problematizações que a pesquisa traz à tona, destacamos as redes sociais como um instrumento mobilizador do migrante comerciante autônomo de retalhos contribuindo para a ampliação do capital / Trading cloth patches and textile remainders is carried out in the streets of the Brás neighborhood, an industrial and working class old district in São Paulo. It now concentrates several industries as well as wholesale and retail clothing stores meant for \"sacoleiras\" coming from all over Brazil. The patch trade originates in the interstices of old textile industries. Later it feeds on refuses of clothing industries that daily supply tons of remainders and patches to be traded by the \"retalheiros\". These patches and refuses are partly bought both by sewing women in greater São Paulo and by \"sacoleiras\". Most goods are sent to Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, in the hinterlands of Pernambuco State, which is a \"sulanca\" manufacturing pole. It merely consists of poorer quality clothing, mostly consumed by a lower income population. The lower income northeastern citizen becomes a buyer of fabric refuses from the Southern Center. The patch and remainder trade is mostly controlled by northeastern migrants, who form a net of people and merchandise based on this activity. Hence, this dissertation aimed at studying how these migrants were mobilized to work in this trade in the streets of Brás. In order to understand this process, the work also investigated the changes undergone by the district, from the Italian to the northeastern Brazilian occupation on the area. Once the connection among this and other areas was identified by the people/goods net evolution the patch-goods circulation was followed to one of its ends, namely the \"sulanca\" fairs in Pernambuco. Among the manifold questions raised by this research, attention should be drawn to the social nets as a mobilizing means of the free-lance migrant, who trades patches that contributes to capital increase

Livestrong or Lie Hard: A Pentadic Analysis of Deception and Reputation Management in 'The Armstrong Lie'

Anderson, Harper D. 01 March 2017 (has links)
Kenneth Burke's pentadic analysis has been a staple within the context of rhetorical criticism since the early days of critical communication studies. Throughout the years it has evolved from a heavy text criticism to application to film and documentary. The Armstrong Lie is another documentary that highlights the controversial actions of former seven-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong. This film provides an opportunity in which the pentadic analysis can be applied in order to really dissect the message that is being told. Through application of the pentadic analysis to The Armstrong Lie it is possible to identify the true motivation of the documentary's director, Alex Gibney. The present study seeks to identify the true message being told through the narrative of the documentary. Alex Gibney's motivations come under question as to whether or not he was exonerating himself by lessening the controversy of what Lance Armstrong had done by cheating in a highly competitive sport by characterizing him more as a product of his environment.

När hjältar faller : En jämförande studie av Aftonbladets och Expressens skildring av idrottshjältarna Ludmila Engquist, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong och Oscar Pistorius.

Andersson, Marianne January 2013 (has links)
Titel: När hjältar faller - En jämförande studie av Aftonbladets och Expressens skildring av idrottshjältarna Ludmila Engquist, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong och Oscar Pistorius. Författare: Marianne Andersson Publikationstyp: Uppsats Nivå: C Poäng: 15 hp Huvudområde: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap Kursnamn: MKV 61-90 hp Programnamn: Informatörsprogrammet Antal sidor: 39 Handledare: Mats Hyvönen Ämne: Hur Aftonbladet och Expressen berättar om idrottshjältar som faller karriärmässigt. Frågeställning: Hur berättar de svenska kvällstidningarna Aftonbladet och Expressen för sina läsare när/att en idrottshjälte faller karriärmässigt? Teoretiska perspektiv: Tidningsartiklarna har analyserats från Michael Foucaults teorier med utgångspunkt från hans bok ”Diskursens ordning” samt utifrån begreppen representation och identifikation i medier. Tillvägagångssätt: Utifrån en dokumentanalys har de publicerade artiklarna studerats för att ta reda på hur tidningarna valt att berätta om de olika fallen. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ analysmetod studeras om medierna använder sig av någon slags dramaturgi när de skildrar händelserna samt om det finns ett mönster med vilka som får komma till tals. Slutsats: Analysen visar att sättet som tidningarna rapporterar på om de fyra händelserna följer en bestämd dramaturgisk och kronologisk ordning. I samtliga fall kommer samma typer av människor till tals och de bilder som publicerar skildrar liknade motiv oavsett idrott eller fall.

Modeling habitat use of young-of-the-year Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus) in the nearshore region of Barkley Sound, British Columbia

Haynes, Trevor Bruce 16 November 2009 (has links)
Successful management of coastal ecosystems requires an understanding of the distribution of key food web species through space and time relative to environmental predictors. Here, I examined the habitat use of an important forage species, the Pacific sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus), using an inductive habitat modeling approach. I examined the presence/absence of Young-of-the-Year Pacific sand lance in the intertidal/shallow subtidal habitat of Barkley Sound, British Columbia. I determined sand lance occurrence using a beach seine at low tide, which was preferred to visual and intertidal digging detection methods due to its high detection frequency, ease of use, and ability to physically capture sand lance. I constructed models using environmental data measured at two different scales: 1) empirically measured environmental data (site-specific level) and 2) GIS derived environmental data extracted with a 200m buffer (landscape level). For each scale, I employed both logistic regression and classification tree modeling procedures to construct habitat models of sand lance occurrence at 55 study sites sampled during the summer of 2003. At the site-specific level, both logistic regression and classification tree models performed similar, however, classification trees were easier to construct and interpret as well as revealing interactions among variables undetected by logistic regression. Based on a deviance pruned classification tree, Grain Size Mean, Intertidal Eelgrass Presence, Absence, Major Substrate Low Intertidal, and Grain Size Sorting influenced sand lance occurrence at this scale, with importance values of 100, 79, 75, and 61 respectively. Standardized importance was based on the overall change in node impurity in the classification tree for each variable. At the landscape level, only Coastline Density was significantly related to sand lance occurrence, however, it was difficult to suggest this variables direct relation to sand lance habitat use. Overall, the habitat modeling approach identified important environmental variables influencing sand lance habitat selection at two different scales and stressed the utility of field data to construct and confirm these models.

La Furūsiyya des Mamlûks : Une élite sociale à cheval (1250-1517)

Carayon, Agnès 26 June 2012 (has links)
Les Mamlûks sont réputés pour avoir porté les arts de la furūsiyya à leur plus haute expression. Cette thèse a pour objectif de cerner à la fois les enjeux de leur dextérité, et ses caractéristiques. La première partie porte sur la littérature de la furūsiyya. Après un bilan historiographique, plusieurs ouvrages de furūsiyya sont analysés et comparés, afin de mieux appréhender les héritages et les apports proprement mamlûks. Un traité anonyme de maniement de dabbūs et de lutte à cheval, contenant également une partie sur les feux de guerre, est édité et traduit. La deuxième partie de cette thèse porte sur la suprématie militaire des Mamlûks. Leur formation très poussée y est décrite, mais la lumière a aussi été mise sur leurs chevaux : leurs races ; leur dressage ; leur nombre ; leur entretien. Un large échantillon d'armes mamlûkes est présenté. Enfin, un chapitre est consacré au problème des procédés de combat, encore très mal connus, qui tend à nuancer la vision d'archers montés que l'on a généralement des Mamlûks. Enfin, la dernière partie relève de l'histoire sociale. Elle a pour ambition de démontrer que la maîtrise de la furūsiyya était perçue par les Mamlûks comme la détention d'un art complexe, un « attribut de distinction » qui les distinguait du vulgum pecus. Ce sont alors les diverses manifestations de cette appartenance sociale qui sont analysées : les « sports » équestres, les lieux de jeu et d'entraînement militaire et les palais-écuries, enfin les institutions et les spectacles.Les annexes contiennent un tableau détaillé des manuscrits de furūsiyya et un glossaire, en plus de quelques planches. / The Mamluks are renowned for bringing the arts of furūsiyya to their highest expression. This thesis aims to identify both the issues of their dexterity, and characteristics.The first part focuses on the literature of furūsiyya. After a historiographical balance, several treatises of furūsiyya are analyzed and compared in order to better understand the legacy and contributions properly Mamluk. An anonymous treatise of handling dabbūs and fight on horseback, also containing some of the fires of war, is edited and translated.The second part of this thesis is on their military supremacy.Their extensive training is described, but the light was also put on their horses : races, training, numbers and maintenance. A wide selection of Mamluk weapons is presented. Finally, a chapter is devoted to the problem of combat methods, very little known, which tends to moderate vision of mounted archers that is generally widespread.The last part focus on social history. It aims to demonstrate that furūsiyya mastery was seen by the Mamluks as the knowledge of a complex art, an "attribute of distinction", which distinguished them from the hoi polloi. Then, the various manifestations of belonging to this social class are analyzed: "sports" riding, gambling venues and military training, and palace-stables, and finally the institutions and the shows.The appendices contain a detailed table of manuscripts of furūsiyya, a glossary and a few plates.

O co-relato Mallarmé / Haroldo de Campos: o mito moderno em "Um lance de dados" / The correlation Mallarmé / Haroldo de Campos: the modern myth in A throw of the dice

Bento, Sérgio Guilherme Cabral 10 September 2008 (has links)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Sergio Guilherme Cabral Bento.pdf: 727345 bytes, checksum: e8ab9d50ad915b3b70edc88e01e905dc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-09-10 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In its modern concept, the myth is a behavioral paradigm, a symbolical model of an external reference. Based on that, this paper defends that the poem A throw of the dice , by Stéphane Mallarmé, acquires such mythical status, either by its cosmogonical nature which is commonly ignored by the critics -, or by its formalistic innovations reason why it got so acclaimed. Due to that, it suffered during the XX century a mythification process, in which it was promoted to be elected as one of the inspirational sources of recent and contemporary poetry. So that such approach was possible, the study was delimitated to a comparison between the proposed text to its re-creation in Portuguese, done by Haroldo de Campos. This dialogue translation / original not only updates the myth A throw of the dice by the ritualistic value the translation process has, but also allows the analysis to get closer to the current times. As an instrument for this exegesis, the Gestalt theories principles of form organization; concept of whole , which is not a mere addition of its parts, but has a unique quality aggregated; and the phenomenon of psiconeural correlation in human visual perception ensure that the poem will be considered in its totality, as a verbal, visual and sound entity. In short, it has been concluded that the poem A throw of the dice is a tale of the (re-) creation of the Universe, the human being and the Art, not under the guidance of a divine power, but generated by the human thinking, key factor in the new illuminist bourgeois society in Modern Age. The modern myth is formed / Em seu conceito moderno, o mito é um paradigma comportamental, um sistema semiológico de algum referente externo. Baseado nisto, este trabalho sustenta que o poema Um lance de dados , de Stéphane Mallarmé, adquire status mítico, quer pelo seu caráter cosmogônico comumente ignorado pela crítica quer pela sua inovação formal fato que o consagrou, e sob cujo prisma é unicamente lembrado. Em virtude disso, sofreu ao longo do século XX um processo de mitificação ao ser promovido à condição de uma das mais importantes fontes de inspiração da poesia recente e contemporânea. Para que tal abordagem fosse possível, buscou-se delimitar o estudo do texto proposto em correlação com sua recriação em língua portuguesa, feita por Haroldo de Campos. Tal diálogo tradução/original não apenas atualiza o mito Um lance de dados pelo valor ritualístico que possui o ato de traduzir, mas também permite à análise uma aproximação da contemporaneidade. Como instrumento de exegese, as teorias da Gestalt princípios de organização da forma; máxima de que o todo não é a mera soma das partes, mas possui uma qualidade diferenciada destas; e o fenômeno da correlação psiconeural na percepção visual humana asseguraram que a obra fosse considerada em sua totalidade, enquanto entidade visual, verbal e sonora. Deste modo, chegou-se à conclusão que Um lance de dados é um relato da (re-) criação do Universo, do ser humano e da Arte não sob a condução de uma força divina, mas gerada pelo pensamento humano, novo fator-chave na sociedade iluminista-burguesa da Modernidade. Está formado o mito moderno

Uma nova proposta para o treinamento do arremesso de lance livre no basquetebol / Proposing a new method for training free throw shooting in basketball

Cedra, Cristiano 25 April 2007 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-29T13:18:05Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Cristiano Cedra.pdf: 426189 bytes, checksum: 6e02c6a26fd210dcadb0b0ef68cc7260 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-04-25 / The free throw is a kind of basketball shot and it occurs as a result of breaking some of the rules of the game. Approximately 25% of all points earned in a basketball game come from free throws. In basketball teaching or practicing, free throws are usually the first kind of shot taught, forming the basis for more advanced shooting techniques. Despite its importance, average free throw accuracy has been below 70%; only a few players have managed to achieve a higher average. In this paper a new method of free throw training is presented by progressive and gradual techniques aimed towards specifications changes in materials used in training (in this case, the diameter of the basketball rim and its height). Starting from basic conditions (larger diameters and lower baskets) to those seen as more complex (basketball s official specifications), trying to reach gradually the average accuracy in professional basketball free throwing. In this research, 12 athletes aged from 13 to 14 years old were chosen from a competitive basketball team to participate in it. Then, they were submitted to two stages at the baseline condition. In the first stage, 39 sessions of 10 free throws were shot in each session. In the second stage, the athletes had 13 sessions of 30 shots in each session, out of which 10 were shot from the official free throw line, 10 from an intermediate distance between the free throw line and the basket and the last 10 were shot very close to the basket. After this stage, the athletes were divided into two groups: group 1 was submitted to an intervention related to the diameter of the basket and group 2, to an intervention related to the height of the basket. The fading procedure was identical for both groups that went through the multielement baseline design. Each athlete went through 9 fading practice stages, and, in every stage, should score at least 70% of the free throws to go on to the next stage. Stage 1 was carried out using a closer distance to the basket and a larger diameter (group 1) or a lower height (group 2). Progressively, the distance was increased, passing through the intermediate distance until reaching the official free throw distance, keeping to the same diameter and height specifications. When the athlete reached the official distance, he would go back to the starting line and resume his shooting but now the diameter and height would be set to the intermediate specifications. Gradually, the athlete should reach the official distance and specifications of basketball. The next stage was identical to the baseline condition and had the purpose of evaluating whether the results achieved in the last modified stage would last once the treatment was removed. Analyzing the results, it is made clear that practicing shots through repetition did not produce the results expected in the selected group, at best, it only established their previous marks. Being exposed to different distances without using progression through fading also did not bring improvements to the performance of the athletes and the level of accuracy in the closest distance was higher than in the intermediate distance, which was also higher than in the official distance suggesting that distance is a decisive factor when evaluating basketball shots. While group 1 achieved an overall improvement throughout the practice, some of the athletes in group 2 actually showed a loss in performance, suggesting that the diameter of the rim is, in fact, a more critical factor than the height of the basket. The fading procedure has brought improvements to the level of accuracy of the evaluated athlet / O lance livre é um tipo de arremesso do basquetebol e ocorre como conseqüência a algumas infrações à regra deste jogo. Aproximadamente, 25% dos pontos do jogo de basquetebol vêm do lance livre. No ensino e treinamento do basquetebol é o primeiro tipo de arremesso a ser ensinado servindo de base para os demais. Apesar da sua importância, as médias de acertos nestas situações tem sido inferiores a 70%, apenas alguns jogadores atingem médias superiores. Neste trabalho apresentamos um novo método de treinamento de lances livres através das técnicas de mudança gradual e progressiva das alterações nas especificações dos materiais utilizados nos treinos (no caso, o diâmetro do aro da cesta e a altura da cesta), indo de condições consideradas como mais simples (diâmetros maiores e cestas em alturas mais baixas) para aquelas vistas como mais complexas (especificações oficiais), tentando, gradualmente, atingir o objetivo de acertos dos arremessos de lances livres na cesta oficial do basquetebol. Foram participantes desta pesquisa 12 atletas, com idade entre 13 e 14 anos, integrantes de uma equipe competitiva de basquetebol. Estes foram submetidos a duas fases na linha de base. Na fase 1, realizaram 39 sessões com 10 arremessos de lances livres em cada sessão. Na fase 2, realizaram 13 sessões com 30 arremessos em cada sessão, sendo 10 da distância oficial de lance livre, 10 de uma distância intermediária entre a linha do lance livre e a cesta, e mais 10 bem próximos da cesta. Após esta etapa, os atletas foram divididos em dois grupos: o grupo 1 foi submetido à intervenção relacionada a dimensão diâmetro da cesta; e o grupo 2 à intervenção relacionada a dimensão altura da cesta. O procedimento de fading ou esvanecimento foi idêntico para ambos os grupos que passaram pelo delineamento de linha base múltipla entre participantes. Cada atleta passou por 9 fases de fading, e, em cada uma delas, deveria acertar pelo menos 70% dos arremessos para progredir para a fase seguinte. A fase 1 era realizada com distância próxima da cesta e diâmetro maior (grupo 1) ou altura menor (grupo 2). Progressivamente, a distância era aumentada, passando pela distância intermediária até chegar à distância oficial do lance livre, mantendo-se a mesma especificação da dimensão diâmetro ou altura. Quando o atleta chegava à distância oficial, ele voltava a arremessar de bem próximo da cesta, mas agora com a dimensão diâmetro e altura com especificações médias. Gradualmente, o atleta deveria chegar à distância e dimensão oficiais do basquetebol. A etapa seguimento foi idêntica à etapa de linha de base e tinha como objetivo avaliar se os resultados produzidos na última fase da intervenção se mantinham após a retirada do tratamento. Nos resultados, percebemos que a repetição do ato de arremessar não produziu melhoras no desempenho dos atletas avaliados, no máximo, estabilizou seus resultados. A exposição a diferentes distâncias sem a utilização da progressão através do fading também não produziu melhoras no desempenho destes atletas e o índice de acertos na distância próxima foi maior do que na distância intermediária, que por sua vez foi maior do que na distância oficial, sugerindo que a distância é uma variável crítica quando avaliamos o arremesso. O grupo 1 obteve melhoras durante a intervenção que se mantiveram durante o seguimento e no grupo 2, alguns atletas também obtiveram melhoras durante a intervenção, mas para alguns participantes estes resultados diminuíram no seguimento, sugerindo assim, que a dimensão diâmetro foi mais crítica para estes atletas do que a dimensão altura. O procedimento de fading promoveu melhoras no índice de acertos dos atletas avaliados
