This paper focuses on above mentioned issues with reference to Dracula, the rock opera of Italian band PFM （Premiata Forneria Marconi）, explaining how every visual aspects （also considering scenography and costumes） are closely linked to libretto and music to show the consistency among the different facets of the opera production. In this procedure, graphic artists and designers confirm their knowledge, but apart from this awareness, there are some symptoms of an tmconscious creativity as much coherent. As a result, this study aims to show how the management of the biggest colossal in the history of rock opera tries--constantly torn between art and advertising--to attract a potential audience by means of the iconography both of the composers and of the most famous vampire in the world.展开更多

Although long-term alliances and mega deals are replacing the existing spot contracts, both academic literature and managerial practices still lack appropriate models for coping with such decisions. As a consequence, the traditional accounting approach, extensively based on emerging costs and cost savings, seems to be less and less effective in the governance of such phenomena. On the other hand, the managerial literature still suffers significant gaps in modeling the relations between outsourcing and business performance. The attention paid to the subject in past decades has not been matched by the rigor in assessing the actual impact on business performance. This paper aims to fill some of the existing gaps by presenting an original empirical study based on the analysis of the impact of outsourcing decisions on business performance.展开更多

In this paper, I explore the disconnection between the martial arts and posit that martial art is an oxymoron as described by Michel de Certeau. As an alternative to the oxymoronic use of martial art, I examine two conceptions of practice： the first advanced by Alasdair Maclntyre and applied to martial arts by Charles Hackney; the second advanced by Todd May and amended with ideas from Noel Carroll. The latter conception of practice begins to establish a new way to consider the relationships among the combative styles and how these can be incorporated into the term martial arts, thereby quelling the disconnection between the term and the styles.展开更多

Methods The study group consisted of 20 cadaver shoulders which were underwent the same imaging protocols of conventional MRI and MR arthrography. Results SET2WI images or MR arthrography respectively possessed of high specificity （95. 6% , 100% ）, but low sensitivity （70. 6% , 58. 8% ） for diagnosing rotator cuff tears. By uniting two images techniques, could remedy its limitations and would markedly increase the sensitivity （88.2% ）. There were many factors influencing the visualizations of partial thickness tears of rotator cuff on MR images, from which uppermost factors are tear extent, ruptured synovial capsule, scar and synovial proliferation. Conclusion MR1 diagnoses of rotator cuff lesions （ especially partial thickness tears） must carefully be estimated by combining T2WI images and MR arthrography.展开更多

The students can get the sense of the rhythm, the sense of harmony and the sense of pitch and other musical skills in the process of learning to play the piano, thus more accurate performing the music art. For the purpose, the piano teaching in the music education in the normal universities is for the purpose of cultivating the future piano teachers or performers. In this paper, the author carries out thediscussion with the dual nature of the piano teaching in the music education in normal colleges as the theme, in order to put forward some useful strategies for the piano teaching in eoUeges and universities.展开更多
