Schubert's "Ave Maria (Ellen's Song No. 3)": Poetic Structure Analysis Using the C4 Model
This study applies the C4 Model, originally from software architecture, to analyze the poetic structure of Schubert's Ave Maria, revealing layered hierarchical features such as dual-axis context, three-stage progression, and emotional transitions, demonstrating how computational methods can enhance literary analysis in digital humanities.
This research conducts a multi-layered analysis of the poetic structure of Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria (Ellen's Song No. 3)" D.839 by individually decomposing each layer of the C4 Model (Context, Container, Component, Code). In contrast to the integrative approaches in traditional literary studies, this study aims to objectively elucidate the structural perfection of the work by individually examining the functions and interrelationships of each layer. The C4 Model, originally developed for software architecture visualization, provides a systematic framework for analyzing complex hierarchical structures. The analysis reveals a dual-axis structure in the Context layer, three-stage progression in the Container layer, emotional transition system in the Component layer, and strategic placement of linguistic techniques in the Code layer. Each layer maintains independence while producing an integrated poetic effect. The methodology employs PlantUML C4 notation for visualization and documentation, enabling precise structural mapping of poetic elements. This interdisciplinary approach demonstrates how computational methods can enhance literary analysis, offering new perspectives on classical works. The findings contribute to digital humanities scholarship by establishing a replicable framework for systematic poetic structure analysis that bridges software engineering principles with literary criticism.

This article proposes a systematic framework for analysis of the increasingly popular concept of user choice in European health systems. The development of such a framework is exemplified using one category of potential choice: the choice of health service provider. In the first part, the paper summarises the conceptual background of the user choice debate. Subsequently, the paper theoretically analyses the concept of user choice alongside a stringent set of standard dimensions embracing technical, administrative and allocative efficiency, as well as equity in access and finance. Reference to available evidence is made where applicable. The employed dimensions are critically discussed and finally mapped against the identified determinants within a systematic matrix framework for analysis. Furthermore, the paper underlines that user choice is by no means a panacea but rather a highly complex and ambiguous political strategy. Extended choice in some sectors and levels of health systems may lead to inefficiencies and may therefore lead to loss of benefits, including choice, for individuals and society.

Plurality of beliefs and theories in different knowledge domains calls for modelling multi-viewpoint ontologies and knowledge organization systems (KOS). A generic theoretical approach recently proposed for heterogeneity representation in KOS was linking each ontological statement to a specific validity scope to determine a set of conditions under which the statement is valid. However, the practical applicability of this approach has yet to be empirically assessed. In addition, there is still a need to investigate the types of inconsistencies that might arise in multi-viewpoint ontologies as well as their possible causes. This study proposes a new framework for systematic analysis and classification of inconsistencies in multi-viewpoint ontologies. The framework is based on eight generic logical structures of ontological statements. To test the validity of the proposed framework, two ontologies from different knowledge domains were examined. We found that only three of the eight structures led to inconsistencies in both ontologies, while the other two structures were always present in logically consistent statements. The study has practical implications for building diversified and personalized knowledge systems.

IT projects are becoming increasingly complex due to rapidly advancing technologies, the need to tackle more difficult problems, and the involvement of a larger variety of experts with different backgrounds and experiences from different countries and cultures. It is also common for these teams to often work remotely in virtual settings. In this context, besides conflicts between IT project team members, cross-functional and cross-hierarchical organizational conflicts might emerge as well. These conflicts can vary in terms of their origin, nature, and intensity. This paper is a qualitative study focused on understanding interpersonal communication-based conflicts in multicultural and multidisciplinary IT project teams. The purpose is to find a common approach that can mitigate and eventually resolve these conflicts, aiming to promote shared knowledge and ultimately reduce the gap in understanding and the likelihood of conflicts. Both secondary research (a literature survey) and primary research (involving experienced managers and experts from project teams in the Romanian IT industry) were conducted in order to reach the objectives, besides sets of lessons learned and recommendations, to develop a framework for systematic conflict analysis and to propose a practice for a transcultural framework of common team vocabulary. To achieve these, a number of conflicts were investigated in IT project teams and corresponding cases. Based on the research findings, the authors concluded that a more formal approach is needed to address the problem of conflicts. From a theoretical standpoint, this paper suggests the concept of management diversity and provides a typology of organizational conflicts. Nevertheless, the framework for systematic analysis of conflict typology (FACT) and the framework of common team vocabulary in the multicultural environment of IT organizational project teams, as well as the sets of lessons learned and recommendations, might be useful and inspiring for both scholars and managers, not only in the IT sector.

The convergence and integration of literary criticism and literary theory has opened up a new world of literary creation, which has improved literary creation and promoted the development and prosperity of literature and art. With the increasingly strong voice of "theoreticalization of criticism and criticism of theory" in the literary and art circles, it has become a hot topic in academic circles to reveal how theory generates criticism and narrow the distance between literary criticism and literary theory. On the basis of in-depth analysis of Charles E. Bressler's classic academic work — "Literary Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice", this paper cuts in from the perspective of "readers" and uses "text reading" as a bridge. By exploring the multiple identities of readers in reading, the paper gradually dissects the intrinsic relationship and influencing factors between theory and criticism in the process of reading, as well as how theory generates criticism. It is intended to contribute to the construction of literary theory and literary criticism, as well as to provide valuable reference and reference for related research in the academic community.

The paradigm shift in the pharmaceutical industry to continuous manufacturing, which has recently progressed from conceptual demonstration to pilot production, has stimulated the development and application of process systems engineering (PSE) tools for implementing efficient and robust control strategies. In this study, a systematic framework for process control design and risk analysis for continuous pharmaceutical solid-dosage manufacturing is proposed, consisting of system identification with state-space models; control design and analysis metrics; hierarchical three-layer control structures; risk mapping, assessment and planning (Risk MAP) strategies; and control performance indicators. The framework is applied to a feeding-blending system, wherein the major source of variance in the product quality arises. It can be demonstrated that the variance in the feeding-blending system can be mitigated and managed through the proposed systematic framework for control design and risk analysis. The process analytical technology (PAT) tool for mass fraction measurement of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and its relative standard deviation (RSD) were indispensable to achieve an efficient control design at the advanced layers. Specifically, the improvements in control performance by implementing advanced model-based control strategy are found to be limited by model-plant mismatch and the sampling time of the PAT tools.

The French classical novel The Princess of Cleves, written in the 17th century by Madame de Lafayette, represents the end of the "river novel" tradition, and anticipates modern novels with its simple and condensed structure. Arguably, this novel launched the line of French psychoanalytic novels. Ever since its publication, academics have been critiquing this novel in various lights. However, the most heated debates over the novel took place in the 20th century when the classical novel became the subject of theoretical interpretation by European and American academics. The various approaches of reinterpretation included traditional academic, Existentialist, psychoanalytic, formalist-structuralist, feminist and queer, etc. Jauss' idea of "horizon d’attente" is useful in capturing the interaction between The Princess of Cleves and its readers, which always reflects the changes in the spirit of times, readers' reading habits, publishers' strategies, as well as the significant influence, in the 20th century, of modern and postmodern aesthetics on the acceptance of this classic work. The present paper delineates the aesthetic reception of the novel according to critics' different approaches in the 20th century, and analyzes the formation and consolidation of this classic work in terms of the origins, differences, and evolution of literary theories. The diversity of theories in the 20th century led to profound and divergent views on The Princess of Cleves, as the "inherent modernity" of this classic work provides ample textual space of maneuvering for various literary criticisms. The Princess of Cleves thus witnesses the history of 20th century theories, and demonstrates the complementary relationship between literary criticism and literary works.

Due to the high complexity of structures and processes in health care, thorough systems analyses in health care run the risk of becoming very complex and difficult to handle. Therefore, we aimed to support systematic systems analysis in health care by developing a comprehensive framework that presents and describes potential areas of analysis. A framework for systems analysis in health care was developed and applied in a health care setting. To provide a clear structure, the framework describes the potential views and levels of systems analyses in a health care environment. The framework comprises five views (roles and responsibilities, information processing and tools, communication, business processes, teams structure and cooperation) and five levels of analysis (overall organization, organizational unit, staff member, role, task). The framework was successfully applied in an analysis of the structures and processes of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of the University Medical Center Heidelberg. The proposed comprehensive framework aims to structure the views and levels of systems analysis in the complex health care environment. Our first experiences support the usefulness of such a framework.

The development of novel energy technologies is considered imperative in the provision of solutions to meet an increasing global demand for clean energy. Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) is one of the emerging technologies to exploit the vast wind resources available in deeper waters. To lower the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) or optimise the performance response associated with a FOWT system, a detailed understanding of the different disciplines (Aero-Hydro-Servo-Elastic) within the system and the relationship between the FOWT system and the dynamics of the marine environment is required. This requires an efficient Multidisciplinary Design, Analysis and Optimisation (MDAO) framework for FOWT systems to reduce the capital cost and increase dynamic performance. A key component of any MDAO framework is the shape parameterisation scheme, as it enables the modelling of a large array of platform designs with different geometric shapes using limited number of parameters. This work focuses on the B-Spline parameterisation modelling technique of OC3 spar-buoy and the use pattern search optimization algorithm to select the optimal design variants. The parametrisation technique is implemented in an analysis framework, where a B-spline library from Sesam GeniE is used to model each design representation, and a potential flow frequency domain analysis solver (HydroD/Wadam) is used for the hydrodynamic analysis. Validation of the selected designs within the design space is conducted with a benchmark NREL5MW spar-buoy hydrodynamic response results in literature with the hydrodynamic response of the frequency domain modelling approach using Sesam GeniE and HydroD/Wadam. This analysis process shows a high accuracy in response results between the OC3 spar-buoy in literature and the OC3 spar-buoy model design using B-Spline parametrization technique. Key performance metrics like the cost of materials and root mean square (RMS) of the nacelle acceleration also show improvement with the design variants compared to estimation from OC3 design in literature.

The article offers a methodological framework for systematic and rigorous capability analysis under uncertainty while applying basic principles of capability based planning. More specifically, it focuses on determination of capability requirements against multiple generic and specific set of force development scenarios, identification of capability mismatches, operational risk assessment steaming from capability gaps and capability prioritisation techniques and procedures. Methodological framework for capability analysis is one of the outputs of the Centre for Security and Military Strategic Studies of University of Defence in Brno institutional research project “STRATAL” - Strategic Alternatives for the Development of the Czech Armed Forces. The authors offer an innovative methodology for further discussion and best practices for development of sound defence planning process and its analytical support. Successful application of this framework depends on the quality of professional military judgement and proper use of relevant analytical techniques and procedures. In addition to that, the framework interlinks efforts in several functions of overarching defence management system, and that constitutes certain risks for generating expected outcomes e.g. insufficient coordination and harmonisation of effort, unclear responsibility for final outcomes just to name a few.
