Large Enterprises

This article focuses on spatial structure of one hundred largest enterprises in the Czech Republic from evolutionary perspective. The location of large enterprise headquarters in the Czech Republic and its implications for country’s economic spatial profile and unevenly distributed economic power is discussed thoroughly. The whole analysis is pragmatically accomplished at the level of self-governmental NUTS III regions. As it is shown, intense concentration processes in the location of largest enterprise headquarters were observed during the analyzed period between 1995 and 2010. The capital city with its surroundings proved to be the winners of this process. Currently, the spatial pattern of afore mentioned head offices is basically stabilized. On the other hand, weight of large enterprises of many regions is almost negligible and subsequently, rank of individual regions can be rather volatile. Generally speaking, economic map of the Czech Republic is not entirely in compliance with country’s settlement system. Simultaneously, fundamental factors determining the location of large enterprise head offices are evaluated also from qualitative perspective. Traditional hard location factors, such as infrastructure, geographical location or agglomeration economies turned out to be decisive for location decision-making. Apart from Prague, headquarters of large enterprises tend to prefer other big towns in the country, such as Brno, Ostrava, Olomouc, Hradec Králové or Plzeň.

<p>Analysis of correlation among precipitation, wind, and solar resources could explore their complementary features, enhance the utilization efficiency of renewable energy and further alleviate the carbon emission issues caused by fossil energy. In this study, we discuss the correlation between precipitation and wind, wind and solar, precipitation and solar from various Spatio-temporal perspectives (from east to west in China, in terms of plain, plateau, hill, and mountain, from daily to ten days and monthly) with observed data. With investigation of daily time series of precipitation, wind speed and solar radiation ranging from 1961-1-1 to 2016-12-31 of 726 meteorological stations located in various landform and distributed dispersedly in China, the results show that 1) the fluctuation value, quantified by Mei-Wang Fluctuation index, denotes the descending tendency when the time resolution increases, and this tendency is stronger in the southern and eastern China; 2) the correlation coefficient, characterized by Kendall’s rank correlation coefficient, changes from east to west in China, and the strength of this correlation displays certain connection to the local topography (e.g., in Qinghai province which is located in the plateau region the complementarity between precipitation and wind speed is stronger than that between precipitation and solar, the mid-stream basin of Yangtze River where the topography is scattered and complex has the weaker complementarity compared to other areas in China). According to the results of this research, it is helpful from the temporal perspective to understand the requirement of complementarity in the utilization of wind, and solar resources which are intermittent, and from the spatial perspective to know the solution of mitigating fluctuation via integration of multi-renewable energy situated in different locations.</p>

Abstract This study is aimed at studying long–term historical and future (1950-2099) trends for the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 on approximately 30-year timescale at annual and seasonal for precipitation and at annual, seasonal, monthly, and diurnal temperature range (DTR) for temperature maximum (T_max), temperature minimum (T_min) variations using statistical trend analysis techniques– Mann–Kendall test (MK) and Sen's slope estimator (S) and the homogeneity test using Pettitt’s test. The study is carried out in three spatial points across the Tawang Chu in the district of Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh. The summer mean precipitation for RCP 4.5 (2006-2065) shows a positive trend with a rise in precipitation between 1.56 mm to 9.94 mm in all the study points. The mean annual precipitation statistics for all the points show an increase of RCP 4.5 in 2006-2052 and 2053-2099 timescale. Both RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios exhibit a uniform rise in T_min and T_max during investigation. For all the points, the results likewise reveal a rising trend in mean annual T_min and T_max. Still, the inter-decadal temperature statistical analysis shows that the increase in mean annual T_min is greater than the increase in T_max, indicating a decreasing trend in DTR. It is anticipated that this study's outcomes will contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between change in climate and the regional hydrological behaviour and will be benefitting the society to develop a regional strategy for water resource management, can serve as a resource for climate impact research scope- assessments, adaptation, mitigation, and disaster management strategies for India's north-eastern region.

The Relationship

Ciaran Carson is a renowned Northern Irish poet with a distinguished record of translating poetry from Irish, Italian and French. This article focuses on his translation practice as evidenced in his three volumes of French poetry in translation: sonnets by Baudelaire, Mallarmé and Rimbaud; prose poems by Rimbaud; and poems by Jean Follain. Guided by the music, the matter, and the linguistic and ontological going-beyond of the originals, Carson variously ‘adapts’ prose poems to a rhyming alexandrine format, makes explicit use of derivation, shifts spatio-temporal perspective, and ‘doubles’ his French translations with English originals. Carson’s approach of ‘fetching’ poems from ‘elsewhere’ is assessed in the light of Meschonnic’s poetics of translation, which would define the overarching objective as producing new poems in English which do in English what the originals do in French. The analysis of Carson’s new poems is also informed by conceptualizations of creativity and originality arising from research in cognitive science, literary studies and critical theory. Carson’s practice of working under constraints suggested by the original poems and exploiting possibilities offered by and between the two languages leads to an expressive plurality that unsettles notions of source and target language. His translation artefacts and commentaries are examined for the light they shed on originality and derivation; writing and translating; the subjectivity of the translator; and the relationship between original poem and new poem.

This concluding chapter returns to and reflects on the fundamental questions posed by the book as a whole. Why does time matter to the study of migration? How are spatio-temporal formations, and subsequently scholarly understandings, of migrant mobilities changing in the contemporary world? What new insights does a temporal perspective add to the sociology of migration? How can we understand the middle as a range of migration experiences that sit between the liminal mobilities of those disenfranchised by globalization and the fluid mobilities of those privileged by the same forces? Migration governance creates both friction and possibility as it comes up against migrants' own desires to use mobility strategically to create new pathways, new lives and new ways of being. Such desires are linked, culturally, to the life-stage in-between youth and adulthood in Asian middle-class imaginaries. The negotiation of mobility thus takes place in intertwinement with the negotiation of both normative and emergent social and cultural imaginaries of 'becoming adult' and the timings and milestones that this entails. The temporalities of settling and staying, of sedentariness and belonging, still very much matter, particularly to ideas of 'achieving' the imagined stability of adult life. Exploring middling mobilities reveals how migration can simultaneously and paradoxically embody freedom and constraint, closure and openness, anxiety and opportunity.
