I social network sono attualmente un grande mezzo di interazione tra le persone, questo viene utilizzato in molti casi per creare gruppi di seguaci di una persona, per i suoi ideali o per il suo modo di essere, questo porta il marchio personale a giocare un ruolo molto importante nel marketing, tenendo conto che molti marchi aziendali sfruttano questi seguaci per pubblicizzare i loro prodotti grazie all'esposizione che permette un marchio personale posizionato, cos che i cosiddetti influencer diventano un mezzo di esposizione dei marchi aziendali. Anche se pu sembrare paradossale, i marchi aziendali utilizzano i marchi personali per l'esposizione. Individuare come gestire un marchio personale ci riporta alla letteratura sul branding e sui marchi aziendali, generando la necessit di individuare le analogie e le differenze che la gestione di un marchio aziendale pu avere con un marchio personale, avendo come campo comune l'uso dei social network.
As redes sociais s o atualmente um grande meio de intera o entre as pessoas, este utilizado em muitos casos para criar grupos de seguidores de uma pessoa, pelos seus ideais ou forma de estar, isto leva a que a marca pessoal passe a ter um papel muito importante no marketing, tendo em conta que muitas marcas corporativas aproveitam estes seguidores para divulgar os seus produtos gra as exposi o que permite posicionar uma marca pessoal, assim que os chamados influencers se tornam um meio de exposi o das marcas corporativas.

Identificar como gerir uma marca pessoal remete-nos para a literatura sobre branding e marcas corporativas, gerando a necessidade de identificar semelhan as e diferen as que a gest o de uma marca corporativa pode ter com uma marca pessoal, tendo como campo comum a utiliza o das redes sociais.
Sisters in Blue tells the story of two young women—one Spanish, one Puebloan—meeting across space and time. Sor María de Jesús de Ágreda, New Mexico’s famous Lady in Blue, is said to have traveled to New Mexico in the seventeenth century. Here Anna M. Nogar and Enrique R. Lamadrid bring her to life, imagining an encounter between a Pueblo woman and Sor María during the nun’s mystical spiritual journeys. Tales of Sor María, who described traveling across the earth and the heavens, have traditionally presented her as an evangelist who helped bring Catholicism to the Pueblos. Instead this book, which includes an essay providing historical context, shows a connection between Sor María and her friend Paf Sheuri. The two women find more similarities than differences in their shared experiences, and what they learn from each other has an impact for centuries to come.

Antagonistic Tolerance examines patterns of coexistence and conflict amongst members of different religious communities, using multidisciplinary research to analyze groups who have peacefully intermingled for generations, and who may have developed aspects of syncretism in their religious practices, and yet have turned violently on each other. Such communities define themselves as separate peoples, with different and often competing interests, yet their interaction is usually peaceable provided the dominance of one group is clear. The key indicator of dominance is control over central religious sites, which may be tacitly shared for long periods, but later contested and even converted as dominance changes. By focusing on these shared and contested sites, this volume allows for a wider understanding of relations between these communities. Using a range of ethnographic, historical and archaeological data from the Balkans, India, Mexico, Peru, Portugal and Turkey, Antagonistic Tolerance develops a comparative model of the competitive sharing and transformation of religious sites. These studies are not considered as isolated cases, but are instead woven into a unified analytical framework which explains how long-term peaceful interactions between religious communities can turn conflictual and even result in ethnic cleansing.

A major concern of island power systems is frequency stability. A power system is said to be frequency stable if its generators are able to supply their loads at a frequency within acceptable limits after a disturbance. Frequency instability occurs if load-generation imbalances are not corrected in appropriate manner and time. Since island power systems are more sensitive to frequency instability than large ones due to the smaller number of generators online and the lower inertia, they require a larger amount of primary reserve per generator. This book provides a worldwide overview of island power systems, describing their main features and issues. Split into two parts, the first part examines the technical operation, and in particular, frequency stability of island power systems and its technical solutions, including more efficient underfrequency load-shedding schemes. The chapters explore both conventional and advanced load-shedding schemes and consider the improvement of these schemes by making them more robust and efficient. Advanced devices are modelled and analyzed to enhance frequency stability and reduce the need for load shedding. In the second part, the economic operation of island power systems is explored in detail. For that purpose, regulations and economic operations (centralized vs. market scheme) are reviewed by the authors. The authors discuss models for renewable energy sources and for advanced devices and systems such as demand-side management, energy storage systems, and electric vehicles. This book will be critical reading to all researchers and professionals in power system planning and engineering, electrical/power delivery, RES and control engineering. It will also be of interest to researchers in signal processing and telecommunications and renewable energy, as well as power system utility providers.

Efforts to visualize multivariate densities necessarily involve the use of cross-sections, or, equivalently, conditional densities. This book focuses on distributions that are completely specified in terms of conditional densities. They are appropriately used in any modeling situation where conditional information is completely or partially available. All statistical researchers seeking more flexible models than those provided by classical models will find conditionally specified distributions of interest.

Modesty Blaise og Willie Garvin arbejdede oprindeligt på den forkerte side af loven, men efter at have opnået økonomisk overskud, trak de sig tilbage. Efter et stykke tid i rastløshed lader de sig hyre af den britiske efterretningstjeneste, og med deres kendskab til underverdenens uskrevne regler giver det dem en række fordele i deres forbryderjagt.Spændingsserien om Modesty Blaise og hendes makker, Willie Garvin, startede i det britiske dagblad Evening Standard foråret 1963 og blev hurtigt så populær, at der allerede i 1966 blev udsendt en film med italienske Monica Vitti og Terence Stamp i rollerne som det smukke og hårdtslående par. Forfatteren Peter O’Donnells knivskarpe fortællinger og tegneren Jim Holdaways overlegne beherskelse af en sort/hvid teknik med brug af sorte flader indkapsler på tegneseriefronten alt det, der var cool ved 1960’erne.Jim Holdaway døde pludseligt i 1970, hvorefter tegnearbejdet blev overtaget af Enrique Badía Romero og siden John M.

Thebookconcentrates onthephysicsthatexplainswhywebelievethat atoms exist and have the properties we ascribe to them. This story line, which motivates much of our professional research, has helped us limit the material presented to a more humane and more realistic amount than is presented in many beginning university physics courses. The theme of atoms also supports the presentation of more non-Newtonian topics and ideas than is customary in the ?rst term of calculus-level physics. We think it is important and desirable to introduce students sooner than usual to some of the major ideas that shape contemporary physicists’ views of the nature and behavior of matter. Here in the second decade of the twenty-?rst century such a goal seems particularly appropriate. The quantum nature of atoms and light and the mysteries associated with quantum behavior clearly interest our students. By adding and - phasizing more modern content, we seek not only to present some of the physics that engages contemporary physicists but also to attract students to take more physics. Only a few of our beginning physics students come to us sharply focused on physics or astronomy. Nearly all of them, h- ever, have taken physics in high school and found it interesting.

2007 Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA) Book Award Complete List of Authors:Dorothy Holland, Donald M. Nonini, Catherine Lutz, Lesley Bartlett, Marla Frederick-McGlathery, Thaddeus C. Guldbrandsen, and Enrique G. Murillo, Jr. What is the state of democracy at the turn of the twenty-first century? To answer this question, seven scholars lived for a year in five North Carolina communities. They observed public meetings of all sorts, had informal and formal interviews with people, and listened as people conversed with each other at bus stops and barbershops, soccer games and workplaces. Their collaborative ethnography allows us to understand how diverse members of a community not just the elite think about and experience "politics" in ways that include much more than merely voting. This book illustrates how the social and economic changes of the last three decades have made some new routes to active democratic participation possible while making others more difficult. Local Democracy Under Siege suggests how we can account for the current limitations of U.S. democracy and how remedies can be created that ensure more meaningful participation by a greater range of people.
