Early Elizabethan dramatic style with particular regard to the works of George Peele

In the foregoing chapters I have made a survey of 'the style of Peele in some of its aspects. . Chapter II examines he different rhetorical devices fount' in the speeches and in the verse in his plays. Chapter III is a study of his favourite themes and situations and of the principles according to which he constructs his plays. Chapter IV lists some of his borrowings and possible "borrowings and Slows hi as it w ]:e, at work in paraphrasing passages from the Bible. the results arrived at along these lines have been set forth in the different chapters. I shall not repeat them here. I have tried to bring out what is distinctive of him in each of these aspects, but the results are meagre, a s they Must often be meagre for the work of a minor writer. But that Peele is original in many points I have tried to bring out and these results can prove. The results also show certain fine or even minute distinctions between the work of and the work of Marlowe or Greene, but do not justify the claim of an individualized style for Peele.For the ultimate purpose of such a study even these minute distinctions found between Marlowe of Greene and Peele should be useful. The ultimate purpose of discovering and defining the characteristics of Peele's style is to furnish a test for the identification of plays attributed wholly or in part to Peele, to see how closely they correspond to the characteristics in Peele's known work But in this study my concern has only been to supply some carefully assembled data which may be used as objective evidence for such identification. I have noted here and there the occurrence in anonymous plays of characteristics found in Peele, sometimes for the sake of comparison and illustration, sometimes to show their similarity to Peele's work. I have not tried to identify the anonymous plays

An empirical investigation of internet banking in Taiwan

This paper investigates Internet banking adoption among Taiwanese bank customers. The paper examines the affect of involvement using TAM (technology acceptance model). From the PII (Personal Involvement Inventory) scales, the results indicate that involvement is significantly influenced by the characteristics of the person, stimulus and the situation. Two sets of regression analysis were conducted for the current study. The first analyze the direct influence of two factors, belief of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The second set investigates the affect of involvement on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in determining behavioral intention. The study found perceived usefulness is strongly influenced by high involvement. Likewise, the study found that low involvement is strongly related to perceived ease of use. In determining behavioral intention, both high and low involvement significantly influence perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, respectively

Predictors of International Students’ Socio-Cultural Adjustment

International students’ well-being and their adjustment have gained interest from researchers in different areas, including educational psychology, social psychology and counseling psychology. By using the social cognitive model, this study focused on finding the relationships among English fluency, social self-efficacy, cultural values, perceived social support, perceived discrimination and conflict handling styles and how they affect international students’ sociocultural adjustment. A hierarchical regression model found that international students with high social self-efficacy have less socio-cultural adaptation difficulties when they perceived low discrimination. However, when these students perceived high discrimination, they experienced higher socio-cultural adaptation difficulties. International students who valued openness to change reported lower socio-cultural adaptation difficulties. While international students’ English fluency in writing and speaking influenced their social self-efficacy, English fluency as a whole did not influence socio-cultural adaptation after factors such as perceived discrimination, social support, social self-efficacy and values were controlled. Finally, international students using dominate conflict handling style and international students using avoidance conflict handling style showed differences in their conservation value, but different conflict handling styles did not influence the relationship between English fluency and social self-efficacy. Implications are discussed. Limitations of the study and suggestions for future studies are provided

Optimal treatment protocol using dental implants for edentulous maxilla: a review of the literature

AIM: This systematic review analyzes the impact of factors affecting the rehabilitation of maxillary edentulous patients with implant-supported prosthesis. By identifying these variables we hope to establish standard treatment protocols for the edentulous maxilla. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The electronic data bases PubMed, Science Direct, and Embase were searched for clinical studies of complete maxillary implant supported removable and fixed dental prostheses. The analysis was confined to prospective studies with a mean follow-up of at least 1 year published prior to February 2017. RESULTS: A total of 158 publications were retrieved from the database searches. One additional article was included from manual searches. From these, 12 articles were included in this study for further analysis using PRISMA. The analysis of the selected articles revealed the following findings: 1. It is difficult to report a definite conclusion from the selected articles in the present review because they exhibit a great heterogeneity and differences in methodology. 2. High implant and implant supported fixed prosthesis survival rates can be achieved when five or more implants were placed in edentulous maxilla. 3. Whether implants were placed in healed bone sites or fresh extraction sockets did not significantly affect the implant survival rate. 4. Immediate loading of prosthesis did not show a difference in implant or prosthetic survival rate. 5. Continuing follow up is necessary because in fixed type of restoration fractured components of prostheses is very commonly seen
