Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) Neurologist

Erasmus Darwin was the founder of evolutionary biology, a renown poet, an inventor, and a general medical practitioner. Erasmus Darwin wrote specifically about the evolutionary and phylogenetic development of the nervous system, neuroembryology, psychiatric illness (including delusions and depression), and electrical therapy for childhood hemiplegia. He conducted experiments in neuro-ophthalmology and wrote about color vision, afterimages, the blind spot, and visual memory.

HRM systems, internal marketing and performance in Indian call centres:full research report ESRC end of award report, RES-000-22-1876

Considering the rapid growth of call centres (CCs) in India, its implications for businesses in the UK and a scarcity of research on human resource management (HRM) related issues in Indian CCs, this research has two main aims. First, to highlight the nature of HRM systems relevant to Indian call centres. Second, to understand the significance of internal marketing (IM) in influencing the frontline employees’ job-related attitudes and performance. Rewards being an important component of IM, the relationships between different types of rewards as part of an IM strategy, attitudes and performance of employees in Indian CCs will also be examined. Further, the research will investigate which type of commitment mediates the link between rewards and performance and why. The data collection will be via two phases. The first phase would involve a series of in-depth interviews with both the managers and employees to understand the functioning of CCs, and development of suitable HRM systems for the Indian context. The second phase would involve data collection through questionnaires distributed to the frontline employees and supervisors to examine the relationships among IM, employee attitudes and performance. Such an investigation is expected to contribute to development of better theory and practice.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from various ship expeditions in the Atlantic Ocean from 1876 until 1911

The greater part of this Monograph is devoted to detailed descriptions of 1426 samples of deposits from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean stored in the Challenger Office, Edinburgh, which had been collected during thirty-five cruising expeditions between 1857 and 1911. The remaining part discusses the results of the work. The work of examining and describing in detail this abundant mass of material was in progress when the late Sir JOHN MURRAY met his death in March 1914. By that time about three-fourths of the descriptive work had been completed under his supervision. Sir John's trustees arranged for the completion of the descriptive work by Mr Chumley, and this was done in the Challenger Office during the two succeeding years. Later, after he had removed to Glasgow, Mr Chumley prepared the notes discussing the results. The trustees have pleasure in recording, on the suggestion of Mr Chumley, the courtesy of Dr G. W. Lee of the Geological Survey of Scotland, for help in determining many of the rarer mineral particles contained in the deposits.

Fossil associations from the middle and upper Eocene strata of the Pamplona Basin and surrounding areas (Navarre, western Pyrenees)

Fossil associations from the middle and upper Eocene (Bartonian and Priabonian) sedimentary succession of the Pamplona Basin are described. This succession was accumulated in the western part of the South Pyrenean peripheral foreland basin and extends from deep-marine turbiditic (Ezkaba Sandstone Formation) to deltaic (Pamplona Marl, Ardanatz Sandstone and Ilundain Marl formations) and marginal marine deposits (Gendulain Formation). The micropalaeontological content is high. It is dominated by foraminifera, and common ostracods and other microfossils are also present. The fossil ichnoasssemblages include at least 23 ichnogenera and 28 ichnospecies indicative of Nereites, Cruziana, Glossifungites and ?Scoyenia-Mermia ichnofacies. Body macrofossils of 78 taxa corresponding to macroforaminifera, sponges, corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, annelids, molluscs, arthropods, echinoderms and vertebrates have been identified. Both the number of ichnotaxa and of species (e. g. bryozoans, molluscs and condrichthyans) may be considerably higher. Body fossil assemblages are comparable to those from the Eocene of the Nord Pyrenean area (Basque Coast), and also to those from the Eocene of the west-central and eastern part of South Pyrenean area (Aragon and Catalonia). At the European scale, the molluscs assemblages seem endemic from the Pyrenean area, although several Tethyan (Italy and Alps) and Northern elements (Paris basin and Normandy) have been recorded. Palaeontological data of studied sedimentary units fit well with the shallowing process that throughout the middle and late Eocene occurs in the area, according to the sedimentological and stratigraphical data.

Gustave Caillebotte -Vues sur le Paris moderne : 1876 et 1880

Ce mémoire prend pour objet l’étude des vues du Paris moderne par Gustave Caillebotte. Son engagement profond dans la réalité vécue le conduit vers une fascination particulière pour la reproduction de l’image urbaine. Entre 1876 et 1880, l’artiste déambule dans les rues et les boulevards en vue d’exécuter des traitements picturaux originaux et peindre des visions singulières, par rapport à sa propre production artistique de même qu’à celle de ses confrères impressionnistes. En raison des différents points de vue traités dans l’espace urbain, sa perception de la ville semble, à notre avis, évolutive. Que ce soit depuis la rue ou en hauteur, Caillebotte reproduit Paris telle qu’elle se présente devant lui ; c’est ce qui paraît le guider dans sa recherche. Si bien que notre travail consiste à démontrer qu’il est un peintre de la ville moderne. Par l’analyse de trois points de vue privilégiés (dans la rue, à la fenêtre et au balcon), remarqués à la fois dans son corpus et dans sa démarche, cette recherche veut montrer comment l’artiste perçoit l’urbanité moderne et comment il la rend. Nous observons qu’une adéquation entre les moyens plastiques modernes utilisés et l’intérêt de représenter la réalité elle-même moderne, traduit son processus créatif. Apporter des arguments au sujet de son étude des vues de ville, permet aujourd’hui de mieux cerner le travail unique de Gustave Caillebotte dans le paysage urbain.

Das exemte Bistum Bamberg 4. Die Bamberger Bischöfe von 1693 bis 1802

Mit den Bischofsviten von 1693 bis 1802 liegt nun die vollständige Bischofsreihe des Bistums Bamberg vor. Der Band reicht vom Beginn des Pontifikats des Lothar Franz von Schönborn bis zur Säkularisation unter Christoph Franz von Buseck. Damit fallen der Barockkatholizismus, Ansätze zur absolutistischen Herrschaft und die Aufklärung in den Untersuchungszeitraum. Mit Lothar Franz und Friedrich Karl von Schönborn, Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim und Franz Ludwig von Erthal werden Fürstbischöfe erfasst, die weit über den Bamberger Raum hinaus Bedeutung hatten. Die ebenso umfassenden wie markanten Bischofsporträts berücksichtigen auch literar- und kunstgeschichtliche Fragestellungen. Ein eigener Abschnitt enthält Kurzbiographien der Weihbischöfe, Generalvikare, Fiskale und Kanzler und stellt damit die eigentlichen Träger der geistlichen Verwaltung vor. Über die individuellen Biographien hinaus werden auch längerfristige Entwicklungen wie die Herausbildung absolutistischer Regierungsformen oder der Wandel des Bischofsideals im Zuge der Aufklärung deutlich.
