The Hollywood star system developed in the early decades of the twentieth century, and with it came notions of celebrity and tales of how performers rose to fame. In the same period, several American films self-reflexively devised narratives concerning young women venturing to “filmland” to break into the movies—echoing the real-life situation of the epoch's “movie-struck girls.” Taking a gendered approach, this text examines Mabel's Dramatic Career (1913), A Girl's Folly (1917), The Extra Girl (1923), Souls for Sale (1923), Ella Cinders (1926), and Show People (1928), interrogating the films’ portrayal of the female ingenue and focusing on such dichotomies as talent versus luck, career versus marriage, scandal versus propriety, city versus country, beauty versus plainness, and more. It investigates movie magazines and press of the era, highlighting how they presented the actresses in these films—Mabel Normand, Marion Davies, Eleanor Boardman, Colleen Moore, and Doris Kenyon—to the public, making connections to similar issues in the movies.

The article aims to give an overview of the main models in the spin-off research field. The main evolution models known in literature will be analyzed. The evolution models will be discussed in increasing order of complexity. However, the existing models will prove to be inadequate to reflect the real-life situation. Therefore, a new integrative model will be discussed in detail, illustrated by using 17 case studies of Belgian academic spin-offs. The model incorporates the dynamic nature of academic spin-off evolution and the major peripheral aspects. It can be used by practitioners and academics to enhance reproducibility and decision making.

Exposure treatments such as flooding are being used increasingly for phobic and obsessive-compulsive disorders (reviewed by Marks, 1972). The shortage of treatment personnel has led to a search for ways to save therapist time. An obvious way of economizing is to expose a number of patients simultaneously in groups, instead of individually, to the real life situation which they fear.

The purpose of this study is to show how Gadisa Biru who wrote the novel `Kuusaa Gadoo` represents the Oromo`s economic issues realistically in the life of characters and the major themes of the novel. The study is qualitative research, it involves textual analysis method together with relevant conceptual tools and frameworks and therefore it is analytical. Furthermore, the data used for the research is taken from a primary source which is `Kuusaa Gadoo`. From the novel, different extracts are taken based on the research questions. Extracts used as data were classified under each topic and analyzed using textual analysis methods and realism theory. Then, the analysis and discussion were undertaken by using the concept of scholars to make the research more visible and logical. As a philosophy of realism theory, realism portrays the world as it appears. Therefore, to evaluate the realistic representations of different agendas of the research, it is crucial to bring the idea in the text to the actual world. From the analysis and discussion made it is found that, in `Kuusaa Gadoo`, all events and episodes were realized in the novel without any fantasy and extraordinary overstatement. Oromos were not economically beneficial during the Derg; the economies of Oromo peoples were used by others i.e. by leaders and investors from other ethnic groups. The Oromo`s resources especially land is highly corrupted by leaders of the time. Oromo peasants had no legal protection for their economy. Hence, the novel `Kuusaa Gadoo` reflects the real-life situation of Oromo peoples during the Derg regime. The author critically observes the real economic picture of society and portrayed it logically.


In this chapter, we have compiled several relevant case studies on marketing for children's market in order to better comprehend the real-life situation and dilemma faced by proponents and actors in the field. At the end of every case study, we have also prepared a list of analytical questions that could be used to apply and further comprehend the concepts, models, and findings which have been discussed in this book.

The paper presents a novel implementation of the genetic algorithm (GA) to improve the coverage of the sensor network for damage detection using guided waves. The implementation allows depiction of sensor locations with real values which is closer to the real-life situation. Also, additional features such as proximity checks and node insertions have been implemented in order to improve the convergence of the GA as well as the thoroughness of the search space. For the traditional integer-based implementation, the size of the problem is large but finite. For the real-valued implementation, the problem size can indeed be infinitely large. So added measures have been introduced such as a two-step optimization process for the reduction in size and improved convergence.

interesting as the experiments are, their relevance to the real-life situation is rendered questionable by the unthinking use of given singularities as target objects. the evolutionary process does not respect what one agent takes to be a singular referent. a “singling” from the continuum is rather a varying feature of the necessity to track what is rewarding in it.

Current study examines the constructivism and behaviorism concepts applicable in the education of children with intellectual disabilities. The paper is focused on the possibilities of both approaches in overcoming some of the challenges in teaching children with intellectual disabilities and outlining the different techniques to support the efforts of the educator for the effective education and development of researched group of children. The results outline that dividing the content units into smaller parts, connecting the information to the real life situation, using models and illustrations, moving from the known to the unknown, and encouraging active participation of students are most effective approaches in education children with intellectual disabilities. Constructivist and behaviorist concepts of learning and teaching do not differ methodologically and substantively in the education of children with intellectual disabilities to their peers and differences are related only to duration of individual approaches
