Traumatic Peregrinations: Intergenerational Memory and Migration in Nina Bunjevac’s Fatherland by Anastasia Ulanowicz

“…This essay analyzes images of both movement and immobility in Nina Bunjevac’s Fatherland, a Canadian graphic memoir in which the author/illustrator traces her father’s involvement in a Serbian nationalist terrorist cell. Although, as scholars such as Mihaela Precup have convincingly argued, Bunjevac depicts her father as trapped by historical circumstances he cannot control—and her larger family as “frozen in disbelief, anger, and sadness” (220)—I maintain that such immobility is paradoxically the consequence of constant movement. …”

Research on Schedule Management Method Based on Critical Chain Technology by MA Di, GUAN Xiaodi, WANG Wenjin, WEI Huanhuan, ZHU Yongfeng

“…Critical chain technology is a new method of project schedule management.In recent years,scholars at home and abroad have increasingly studied this technology.The research on critical chain technology mainly focuses on solving the problems of inter-project operation slack and construction delay caused by unreasonable buffer setting.In this paper,the information entropy theory is employed to build a new buffer setting model that comprehensively considers overall complexity entropy,individual complexity entropy,construction difficulty entropy,resource constraint entropy,and decision-maker preference factor.The root variance method is adopted to improve the buffer calculation formula.Then,the redundant buffer is integrated into the project buffer,and the buffer setting model is modified by absorbing possible risks.Finally,an example is discussed to verify the practicability of the model.The research shows that the proposed model can quantify the impact of risk factors on project schedule more reasonably and comprehensively,improve the accuracy of buffer setting,and effectively solve the series of problems caused by excessive import buffer.…”
