Abstract:
This thesis discusses the role of academic institutions in the vitality of the French-speaking community, in the metropolis of Moncton, over the past 20 years. Moncton is located in the Southeast of the province of New Brunswick in Canada. The three cities (Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview), which form this urban centre of Moncton, have a particular function in the linguistic balance of the area. The urbanization process has largely changed the social space in Moncton, which leads us to ask the following question: "Do French institutions play an important role on the geographical distribution of the French-speaking people in Moncton over the past 20 years?" By using the Census Data of the Statistic Canada of 1981 to 2001, we study the historical development of the principal French-speaking institutions compared to the significant transformation of the social space of Moncton, in particular the increased presence of the Acadians.

Abstract:
The employment rate of young partnered women and partnered mothers increased considerably over the 1980s, while there was less change in the 1990s. This thesis explores these changes, with a focus on partnered mothers with young children. The objectives are to describe what the changes in female employment were, and to analyse why they might have occurred. ¶ The analyses were primarily quantitative, although they were put into context with extensive reviews of Australian and, where relevant, international literature. The primary source of data was Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census data. Other data used included those from the ABS Child Care Surveys, Negotiating the Life Course Survey and the National Social Science Survey. ¶ Many changes in maternal employment were identified. The most notable change was the increase in the number and proportion of partnered mothers working part- time hours. Job characteristics also changed, with these women in full-time or part- time jobs more likely to be working in higher skilled professional and para- professional jobs in 2001, compared to 1981. For partnered mothers with a child aged less than one, the proportion working increased, but there was also evidence that more women were making use of maternity leave. ¶ Coinciding with these changes were a number of compositional changes, as women of succeeding birth cohorts were more educated, and more likely to delay marriage and childbearing. Attitudinal change was also evident, as people became more accepting of working wives. Attitudes to working mothers with young children changed less, with a strong preference for mothers to be at home when their children were young. Also over this period, there were many changes in infrastructure, policy and the labour market generally that had impacts on female employment opportunities and conditions. These changes are explored in detail, and their relationship to employment change examined. ¶ Because there were so many changes in these factors occurring over this period, the exact causes of employment change were difficult to identify. Also, an analysis of employment change is complicated because the causality of certain effects does not run in only one direction – there are more complex links between education, childbearing and employment that should be accounted for in explaining changes over time. Similarly, changes in supply of labour are difficult to disentangle from changes in demand for labour. ¶ Compositional changes were certainly important in explaining the growth in the proportion working, especially for younger women. These women were not only more highly educated in 2001, they were less likely to have children. For working mothers, the effect of increased education levels could be seen in the greater numbers working in higher status occupations. ¶ The analyses of infrastructure and policy change, particularly that of changes in income support and child care provision which were covered in some detail, did suggest that certain aspects of these broader changes were associated with changes in employment, at least for some sections of the population. Income support changes may have enabled more mothers, particularly those in low-income households, to stay at home with young children. This might be part of the reason for the slower growth in female employment in the 1990s, as payments to single-income families increased. ¶ The increased availability of formal child care was likely to have enabled more mothers to work, although the use of informal care, and parental-care only also grew over the 1980s and 1990s. The cost of care continues to be prohibitive for some families. ¶ Increases in part-time work continued even when the overall rate of employment slowed down. Changes in industrial relations, through award restructuring and the introduction of enterprise bargaining, were associated with an increased availability of part-time jobs. This sustained use of part-time work was congruent with the employment preferences of working mothers with young children. Also, the evidence presented shows that part-time work has grown in higher status as well as lower status jobs. ¶ Overall, while it was not possible to identify the exact causes of employment change, the compositional (education and childbearing changes in particular), attitudinal and broader infrastructure/policy changes were no doubt related.

Abstract:
Alternative music was a cultural practice, which became a significant feature of New Zealand's local and national history over the last two decades of the twentieth century. Features of technology, economics and music culture influenced the creation and course of local independent music scenes, along with factors such as cultural remoteness. This thesis isolates and collates key factors and time periods of international music industry history, and refracts the information through alternative music in general, providing a coherent definition of the term. The history and definitions of New Zealand's alternative music history are then assessed for the period 1981-2001, with especial reference to the Flying Nun label and 'Dunedin Sound'.

The present work analyses the material produced and published by the Jornal dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (Landless Rural Workers Newspaper) during the period from 1981 to 2001, and unveils the historical and political trajectory of the MST (Movimento Sem Terra Landless Workers' Movement), as well as of its leaders hereby personified by the figure of the rural landless worker, in that their experiences are narrated not as victims, but as historic figures devoted to the fight against the social exclusion process to which they were historically submitted to, with the land reform constituting their main claim. The survey carried out reveals that the JST (Landless Workers Newspaper) has during its trajectory registered intervention initiatives by the movement, as well as the participation of other entities and solidarity institutions offering support in order to collaborate with the multiple needs of the rural landless workers: the land reform and social justice in rural areas. In this regard, the survey took on the challenge of giving visibility to the articles published by the JST, not just because it would publish movement records, but to fulfill the desire to recover and historicize its actions, practices, discourses and its representations faced with landless workers aspirations. The following narrative is based on the interpretation and analysis of an extensive bibliography contemplating themes related to the land issue, political disputes involving the rural workers articulated by the Landless Workers Movement and by non-governmental organizations that took part in the project defended by this movement. Faced with this challenge, the research took a timeframe of approximately twenty years of JST publications and gave preference to the interpretation and analysis of editorials, interviews with movement leaders and articles of opinion written by politicians, catholic intellectuals and leftist academics, as well as the analysis of news and images published by the newspaper. For such, material that was selected and published by the CPT (Comissão Pastoral da Terra Pastoral Land Commission) was used in order to understand the relationship between newspaper s discourse and the information provided by the Cadernos Conflitos no Campo (Field Conflict Notebooks) published by this entity, particularly those regarding rural violence data. The research entitled O Jornal dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra e Seus Temas (The Landless Rural Workers Newspaper and its Themes 1981-2001) contributes towards understanding the stages of operation of the landless workers newspaper, uncovering its interfaces, objectives, language, its political opposition and its reading public. It also reveals the location and circulation numbers. This is information that provides the construction of a narrative in order to assure that it is understood not only as an object of communication for rural workers, but above all, as a subject of struggle and a briefer for the land reform project and social justice in rural areas and cities defended by the MST
O presente trabalho estuda os materiais produzidos e veiculados pelo Jornal dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra no período de 1981 a 2001, desvelando a trajetória histórica e política do MST assim como de suas lideranças, aqui personificadas na figura dos trabalhadores rurais sem terra, sendo suas experiências narradas não como vítimas, mas como sujeitos históricos imbricados na luta contra o processo de exclusão social ao qual foram submetidos historicamente, constituindo-se a reforma agrária na principal bandeira de reivindicação. A pesquisa desenvolvida revela que o JST registrou ao longo de sua trajetória as ações de intervenção do Movimento assim como a participação de outras entidades e instituições solidárias a ele, prestando-lhe apoio no sentido de colaborar com as múltiplas necessidades dos trabalhadores rurais sem terra: a reforma agrária e a justiça social no campo. Nesse aspecto, a pesquisa enfrentou o desafio de dar visibilidade aos materiais publicados pelo JST não somente em razão deste veicular os registros do Movimento, mas pelo desejo de recuperar e historicizar suas ações, suas práticas, seus discursos e suas representações frente aos anseios dos trabalhadores sem terra. A narrativa que se segue pauta-se pela interpretação e análise de uma extensa bibliografia contemplando temas correlatos à questão da terra, aos embates políticos envolvendo os trabalhadores rurais articulados pelo MST e por organizações não governamentais que compartilhavam do projeto defendido por este Movimento. Em face dessa problemática, a pesquisa tomou como recorte temporal o estudo de aproximadamente vinte anos de publicação do JST, priorizando a interpretação e análise de seus editoriais, entrevistas com lideranças do Movimento e artigos de opinião escritos por políticos, intelectuais católicos e acadêmicos de tendência de esquerda, assim como a análise de notícias e imagens veiculadas pelo mesmo jornal. Para tanto, utilizou-se os materiais apurados e divulgados pela Comissão Pastoral da Terra CPT, no sentido de compreender a relação do discurso do Jornal com as informações trazidas pelos Cadernos Conflitos no Campo, publicados por essa entidade, particularmente aquelas condizentes aos dados de violência no campo. A pesquisa intitulada O Jornal dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra e Seus Temas: 1981-2001 contribui para a compreensão das etapas de atuação do periódico dos trabalhadores sem terra, descortinando suas interfaces, seus objetivos, sua linguagem, suas posições políticas, seu público leitor. Traz a tona ainda o seu local de circulação e sua tiragem, informações estas que proporcionaram a construção de uma narrativa em que se assegura a possibilidade do Jornal dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra ser compreendido não somente como objeto de comunicação dos trabalhadores rurais mas, sobretudo, como sujeito de luta e porta-voz do projeto de reforma agrária e justiça social para o campo e cidade defendido pelo MST

Abstract:
The global economic shift into the knowledge economy in the 1970s had a profound effect on settlement structure in England and Wales. The physical changes brought on by the dismantling of the rigid manufacturing sector were compounded by an important socio-economic shift. The knowledge worker became a centrepiece of the post-industrial economy. The importance of specialised knowledge within the post-industrial firm brought these highly skilled workers on par with senior management resulting in a transformative effect on their choices of employment and housing. These changes are the centrepiece of contemporary economic, social and geographic research. However studies spanning these three theoretical spheres have been limited. This has deprived us of crucial theoretical links that would allow us to disentangle the complex changes that have occurred. This research is aimed at capturing the effects of this broad socio-economic transformation on the settlement structure of home and work in England and Wales. The analysis focuses on the changes in structural and functional change through the use of commuting data for 1981 through 2001. Changes are investigated by bringing together and expanding current spatial analysis techniques. The selection and composition of these techniques is informed by the major theoretical representations of employment and housing patterns and social structure. I have sought to provide a novel way of approaching and interpreting the effects of socio-economic change by combining these three different perspectives within a multi-variate spatial analysis framework that is relayed with consistent objects and attributes. Thus I have brought together theories in housing and labour economics as well as incorporating knowledge in social stratification. This has allowed me to unravel some of the complex settlement patterns that have been observed. These representations have also demonstrated their effectiveness in linking different strands of socio-economic theory through spatial analysis, providing a bridge between these fields.

Through qualitative research, with study of descriptive case on the House of Cinema of Porto Alegre, the aim of the project is to analyze whether the cinema produced in Rio Grande Do Sul, has developed proper, regional characteristics, and to observe whether the Gaúcha regional identity was portraied in the cinematographic productions. The House of Cinema of Porto Alegre is producer and distributor of movies, situated in the city of Porto Alegre/RS, was created in December 1987, by a group of Gauchos filmakers. These ones worked with films since the beginning of years 80, and they still they act in the Brazilian cinematographic market. For this analysis it was opted to a clipping in the filmography between 1981 to 2001, for being this one, according to critics, researchers and directors of cinema of Rio Grande do Sul, a period of adaptations and transformations inside the Gaucho cinema.(AU)

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between civil society, social movements and the state in ethnically-divided countries, using the case study of Malaysia. The argument begins with the observation that the respective literatures on civil society and social movements occupy a broadly congruent paradigm, but the relationship between the two is poorly theorised. Through a critical discussion of existing approaches, a synthesis of civil society and social movements theory is produced, which argues for a dualistic interpretation that emphasises both institutional linkages and cultural and discursive relationships. It is further argued that this latter aspect is of particular importance in ethnically-divided countries, as cultural differences between groups may hamper the effective mobilisation of movements. Thus may exist a form of ‘slippage’ between civil society and movement mobilisation, unidentified in much of the literature that tends to view the two as dynamically homogenous. The empirical section of the thesis utilises this model to examine the trajectories of civil society and social movements in Malaysia, focussing on the two decades from 1981 to 2001. It is argued that the first half of the 1980s saw the expansion of a broadly middle class-led, multiethnic civil society but that successful movement mobilisation nonetheless remained rooted in ethnic concerns. Nonetheless, the decade saw in increasing challenge to the regime's hegemonic position. As internal relations within the government coalition fractured during the middle years of the decade, parties and factions within the regime lurched to more ethnicist positions, contributing to an increasing spiral of ethnic `outbidding' and social mobilisation. In October 1987, this was brought to an end by a widespread crackdown that brought social mobilisation to an abrupt halt. Combined with the continuing elite fracture, this effectively re-channelled the increased protest of the period into the political sphere, where a broad opposition coalition was formed to contest the 1990 elections. With the democratic system long since undermined, however, the government won and even maintained its two-third majority. In the late 1990s, the dynamics of state, civil society and social movement were again clearly visible following the dismissal of Anwar Ibrahim as deputy prime minister and the mass protest ‘reformasi’ movement it unleashed. The ‘reformasi’ movement attempted to cultivate new modes of mobilisation, such as the Internet, appropriate to its multiethnic aspirations, but also relied heavily on the existing mobilisational networks of the Islamic movement. This mobilisational bias was reflected in the degree of electoral support for the movement's political manifestation in the 1999 general elections and contributed to the quick demise of the electoral coalition it provoked. The slippage between a multiethnic civil society and the ethnic bases of movement mobilisation in Malaysia has thus hampered the emergence of effective opposition to the regime.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify and analyse in an historical context the major changes to the United States’ Internal Revenue Code during the period 1981-2001. This qualitative study relied on historical and legal interpretative approaches to better understand the political forces, personalities, and interactions that helped shape the legislative changes during this time period. The study focused on deep analysis of primary sources that best illuminated the latent narrative of four major tax actions: The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, the Tax Reform Act of 1986, The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, and The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Archives, periodicals, and political rhetoric were examined in order to help shape the historical narrative. In addition, this study sought to identify major trends and paradigm shifts in the way United States tax policy was formed during the time period examined. The study identified several key trends that emerged in United States’ tax policy during this period: the use of budget deficits as political tools; factors associated with accomplishing tax reform; gaps between political rhetoric of individual politicians and their political action; and the virtual disappearance of a political middle ground in United States budget politics. The study concluded by noting the economic and political significance of budget deficits and stressing the need for fundamental changes in voter responsibility in helping achieve lasting, broad-based tax reform and budgetary responsibility in the United States.

Abstract:
O modelo de financiamento do sistema previdenciário brasileiro é o de repartição simples, bastante sensível a mudanças estruturais de caráter econômico. Algumas dessas mudanças estruturais que afetaram a previdência, tiveram origem na Constituição de 1988, no crescente envelhecimento da população, no aumento da informalidade de vínculo trabalhista e em problemas políticos e administrativos no regime de previdência. Tais mudanças levaram a previdência a apresentar déficits elevados a partir de meados dos anos 90. Verificou-se que alguns princípios previdenciários como solidariedade, redistribuição e eqüidade não foram respeitados. Observou-se a existência de distorções no valor de aposentadorias e pensões, privilegiando poucos e evidenciando a existência de problemas no modelo de repartição simples. Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal verificar se o rendimento das aposentadorias e pensões contribuiu para aumentar a desigualdade da distribuição de renda no Brasil. Utilizou-se a metodologia de decomposição do índice de Gini, que consiste em determinar a contribuição de cada parcela do rendimento para a desigualdade total, utilizando-se os dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Amostras Domiciliares (PNAD) de 1981 a 2001. Através dos estratos de rendimento domiciliar per capita agregados, verifica-se que a participação do estrato no rendimento de aposentadorias e pensões é, em geral, maior do que a sua participação no rendimento de todos os trabalhos. Nota-se também que a razão de concentração de aposentadorias e pensões, ao longo do período analisado, é superior à razão de concentração do rendimento do trabalho principal em nove dos dezesseis anos analisados. No período de 1998 a 2001 a razão de concentração de aposentadorias e pensões é superior ao índice de Gini e à razão de concentração do rendimento de trabalho principal. Observou-se que, ao longo do período analisado, aumentou a participação de aposentadorias e pensões na renda total, e a sua razão de concentração cresceu. O rendimento de aposentadorias e pensões contribuiu com a segunda maior parcela na formação do índice de Gini. Essa participação teve significativo aumento a partir de 1993. Os resultados permitem concluir que a parcela de rendimento das aposentadorias e pensões contribuiu para aumentar a desigualdade da distribuição da renda no Brasil em seis dos dezesseis anos analisados. Observa-se que de 1998 a 2001 essa contribuição tem-se intensificado. A persistência dessa situação é insustentável para o país, porque inviabilizará a Previdência Social, devido ao déficit crescente que onera as contas públicas e também porque não é justificável que rendimentos diretamente controlados pelo Estado, como as aposentadorias e pensões, contribuam para aumentar a desigualdade da distribuição da renda no país. Isso mostra que existe necessidade de reforma do sistema previdenciário brasileiro.
The financing model of the Brazilian social security system is that of simple partition, quite sensitive to economic structural changes. Some of the structural changes which affected social security were originated in the 1988 Constitution, in the increasing population aging, in the rise of employment relationship informality, and in political as well as administrative problems concerning the social security system. Such changes led social security to present high deficits from middle 1990s on. It was verified that some principles for social security, such as solidarity, re-distribution, and equality, were not respected. The existence of distortions in retirement and pension values were observed, giving privilege to few people and evidencing the existence of problems in the model of simple partition. The present work aimed primarily at verifying whether the retirement pension income contributed to increase the inequality in the income distribution in Brazil. The methodology employed was that of decomposition of Gini's index, which consists in determining the contribution of each income part to the total inequality, using data provided by Household Samples of National Research from 1981 until 2001. By means of aggregated per capita household income layers it was verified that the participation of the layer in the pension income is, in general, higher than its participation in the income of all works. It may be observed that the retirement and pension concentration ratio, along the period analyzed, is higher than the main work income concentration ratio in nine of the sixteen years under analysis. In the period that ranges from 1998 until 2001, the retirement and pension concentration ratio is higher than Gini's index and the main work concentration ratio. It was observed that, along the period analyzed, the participation of pensions in the total income increased, and its concentration ratio had a rise. The retirement pension income was the second highest part in the formation of Gini's index. Such participation had a significant raise from 1993 on. Based on the results, the conclusion drawn is that the retirement pension income part contributed to increase the inequality of income distribution in Brazil in six of the sixteen years analyzed. The persistence of such situation is unsustainable for the country, since it will make Social Security unfeasible due to the increasing deficit which burdens public accounts and also because it is unjustifiable that incomes that are directly controlled by the Sate, like retirements and pensions, may contribute to the increase of inequality in the income distribution in the country. This shows that there is a need for change in the Brazilian social security system.

Abstract:
Depuis les années 1960, Miami est devenue le siège des groupes d'opposition au régime castriste. L'étude de ces groupes de 1981 à 2001 permet de montrer que les deux réseaux d'opposition dominants, en l'occurrence les isolationnistes et les modérés, ont tenté d'exercer une influence politique et médiatique sur quatre fronts : l'enclave cubaine de Miami, Cuba, les Etats Unis et l'espace transétatique international. Si les groupes cubains à Miami se sont constitués en véritables réseaux et groupes d'infuence, la question se pose alors de savoir pourquoi ils n'ont pas réussi à déstabiliser le régime castriste. L'hypothèse avancée est qu'ils se sont plus caractérisés par leur désunion que par une capacité à former un front d'opposition uni contre Fidel Castro
Since the 1960s, Miami has become the home of the opposition groups to the Castro regime. The study of these groups from 1981 until 2001 shows that the two dominant opposition networks, that is to say the isolationists and the moderates, tried to have a political and media influence in four areas : the Cuban enclave of Miami, Cuba, the United States and the the transnational space. If the Cuban groups in Miami formed real networks and powerful lobbies, why couldn't they manage to destabilize the Castro regime ? The main hypothesis is that they couldn't form a strong opposition movement against Fidel Castro because they were divided by inner tensions that undermined the efficiency of their oppositional strategies

Abstract:
The premise that the continued existence of organisations in a democracy depends on both the tacit and the explicit approval and opinions of their many publics is fundamental to public relations theory. Furthermore, the challenge of coping with the potential constraints and opportunities of public opinion as an aspect of the organisational environment is essential to contemporary public relations practice. While the term "public opinion environment" appears intermittently in scholarly and trade publications, the dimensions and characteristics of this aspect of organisational environments remain largely unspecified. This thesis explores two challenges--the first is to conceptualise and measure variation in an important aspect of contemporary organisational environments, the public opinion environment, and the second is to investigate the influence of that environment on the critical and often highly exposed relationships between organisations and activist publics. In suggesting a relationship between variation in the environment and the evolutionary pathways of organisational relationships, the perspective underpinning this thesis is both ecological and evolutionary. Ecological analyses of organisations assume that members of a population are affected similarly by environmental change and share a common dependence on the material and social environment. Consistent with this perspective, this thesis explores the public opinion environment and the organisation-activist relationships therein longitudinally at the population level of analysis. The focal organisational population is Australia's major banks, and the period of interest extends from 1981 to 2001. An evolutionary model of organisation-activist relationships (EOAR) is developed, and the propositions derived from this model are explored using a comparative case study approach. These propositions anticipate and specify associations between variations in dimensions of the public opinion environment of an organisational population and the evolution of organisation-activist relationships in the population. Central to understanding the public opinion environment of an organisational population are the issues around which activist publics organise, public opinion develops, and organisation-activist relationships emerge. Then, the public opinion environment is conceptualised as a set of issues that concern Australia's major banks and their publics. Variations in this "issue set," are described using four dimensions: stability (turnover of issues), complexity (the number of issues in the issue set), intensity (volume of media coverage), and direction (favourability of media coverage for the focal population). To explore the propositions of the EOAR model, I have analysed the variations in these four dimensions in relation to the evolution of organisation-activist relationships. To observe and describe this evolution, I have located the state of these relationships on a conflict continuum using relationship-signalling statements made by organisations and activists and published by the media. Three cases studies from the same organisational population, Australia's major banks, are compared over three different but consecutive seven-year periods from 1981 to 2001. The case studies involved the extensive review of industry reports, submissions and other documents from several government inquiries, and scholarly articles, as well as the content analysis of more than 6, 500 newspaper articles published during each of the three case study periods. The findings of this comparative case study suggest that variations in some dimensions of the public opinion environment of an organisational population are associated with the evolutionary ecology of organisation-activist relationships in that population. However, the associations are more complex than was anticipated by the original propositions of the EOAR model; thus refinements to the model are advanced for further investigation. A primary contribution of this study is that it provides the theoretical apparatus and tools to systematically explore, interpret, and measure variation in the issues comprising the public opinion environment and to track the evolving organisation-activist relationships organised around those issues. Because the population level of analysis and a longitudinal lens are applied, this conceptualisation of the public opinion environment effectively captures and specifies the overlapping and persistent nature of issues. The evidence of this study suggests that when issues have emerged in the public opinion environment at the population level of analysis, they are likely to persist as a hub around which publics organise, providing a focus for discussions and debates for years to come. This persistence, "issue-set inertia," has important implications for organisational relationships. Given these conditions, organisations can monitor and manage their responses to issues. However, it is naïvely optimistic at best to accept the contention of issues management consultants and other pundits that organisations can manage the issues themselves. Furthermore, the findings of this study call into question the value of advice that encourages organisations to deal with issues by seeking to avoid engaging with their activist publics and by downplaying the issues in the media.

Abstract:
Indiepop was, and is, a musical genre that coalesced around UK punk and post-punk in the early 1980s. From punk, indiepop borrowed certain ideas about the politics of cultural production. What differentiated it from punk was its sound: a decidedly pop emphasis on short, melodic song structures and seemingly simple instrumentation. In embracing independent production, indiepop staked a claim for subculture authenticity over the inauthentic mass products of the mainstream music industry. Yet the defining musical elements were characteristic of the historically feminine pop idiom. The result was indiepop, where masculine authenticity and feminine pop forms melded together and created a music scene that fit uneasily within traditional definitions of subculture. This thesis explores the means by which participants in indiepop, through a concerted project to write their version of musical history, made sense of their particular scene and its place within the larger sphere of (masculine) rock culture.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the historical interaction of the psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan, the surrealist, Salvador Dali, and the English poet, David Gascoyne. It traces the discursive, and sometimes personal, relationship between these figures which led to a psychoanalytic-based conception of paranoia that impacted on both surrealism and the surrealist-inspired poetry and theory of David Gascoyne. Furthermore it seeks to identify the potential ramifications of this conception of paranoia, and the artistic practice it engendered, for literary, Marxist and psychoanalytic theory.

Abstract:
J'étudie comment les souvenirs et les oublis sont produits dans la société argentine en me penchant sur l'efficacité relative des mises en scène théâtrales produites par deux groupes, Teatro Abierto au début de années 1980, et Teatroxlaidentidad au début du vingt-et-unième siècle, qui avaient en commun la constitution d'une action collective qui représente le gouvernement militaire (1976-1983) comme responsable du démantèlement de ce que l'état réinventa dans un autre temps, a savoir la nation. La recherche est basée sur l'étude de l'intentionnalité des objets culturels que les artistes produisent selon leurs intérêts et objectifs, leur position en tant qu'intellectuels, leurs évaluations, catégorisations et jugements, qui contraignent et influencent les objets culturels (d'un côté, les liens nationaux d'appartenance, qui ont toujours été un point de dispute constant en Argentine, et d'un autre côté, certains objets culturels au sein de la littérature et du théâtre qui ont été colonises par les élites républicaines depuis les temps recules de la formation des états-nations en Amérique latine avec le but de servir la construction initiale des imaginaires de la nation), ceux-ci conçus pour persuader le plus grand nombre de spectateurs qu'une rupture est advenue dans la normalité de la société
I study how memories are produced and forgotten in argentine society by examining the relative success of the theatrical productions of two groups, Teatro Abierto, at the end of the 1 970s, and Teatroxlaidentidad, at the start of the twenty -first century, both of which participated in collective actions portraying the military government (1976-1983) as responsible for the dismemberment of that which the state had previously re-invented, the nation. My research is based on the study of the intentions behind the artists' production of cultural objects in accordance with their interests and objectives, their social position as intellectuals, and their valuations, categorizations, and judgments, all of which limit and influence those cultural objects (on one hand, the bonds of national belonging that have always been a constant source of dispute in Argentina, and on the other rand, certain cultural objects central in literature and theatre and which were colonized by the republican elites in the earl y days of the formation of nation-states in latin america in service of the initial construction of nationhood), in hopes of persuading the greatest possible number of spectators that a rupture of social normalcy had occurred

Full text
Abstract:

Denna uppsats behandlar de undervattenskränkningar som skedde i och omkring Hårsfjärden i oktober 1982. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att studera förändringen av den offentliga bilden. Författaren har analyserat Hårsfjärden utifrån fyra jämförelsedimensioner. Motiv för kränkningarna, nationalitet, kränkningarnas karaktär och tekniska indikationer och observationer.

Ubåtsskyddskommissionen kunde 1983 peka ut Sovjetunionen som den kränkande makten. De sade likväl att motiven bakom kränkningarna var förberedande skeden i en militär operativ planering. Författaren har med denna uppsats påvisat hur den offentliga bilden har förändrats från 1983 till 2001. Författarens fokus och kärnan i denna uppsats har varit att studera de tre statliga offentliga utredningarna (SOU) som har behandlat ubåtskränkningarna. Bottenspåren som hittades i Hårsfjärden har framstått som de tydligaste bevisen på att främmande ubåtar uppehöll sig i området. De kränkande ubåtarna uppträdde på ett provocerande sätt, vilket innebar att de inte lät sig avvisas. De trängde istället längre in på svenskt inre vatten. Vid ön Mälsten gjorde den svenska marinen den 12 oktober 1982 en bandinspelning som sades vara en sovjetisk ubåt av Whiskey-klass. Samma typ som gick på grund i Gåsefjärden året innan. Bandinspelningen kom att vara den svenska sidans främsta bevis på att en sovjetisk ubåt befann sig på svenskt vatten vid ubåtssamtalen i Moskva 1992-1994. Men Ryssland vägrade att erkänna. De hävdade bestämt att det inte var en sovjetisk ubåt som den svenska marinen hade spelat in.


This paper deals with the submarine violations that occurred in and around Hårsfjärden in October 1982. The purpose of this paper has been to study the change in the public image. The author has analyzed Hårsfjärden on four dimensions of comparison. Motives for the violations, nationality, The nature of the violations and technical indications and observations. The Submarine Defence Commission could identify the Soviet Union as the offensive power in 1983. They said however that the reasons behind violations were preparatory stages of a military operational planning. The author has with this paper demonstrated how the public image has changed from 1983 to 2001. The author's focus and the core of this essay have been to study the three SOU with treated submarine violations. Bottom traces found in Hårsfjärden has emerged as the clearest evidence that foreign submarines had been in the area. The offensive submarine appeared in a provocative way, which meant that they allowed themselves not to be rejected. Instead they pushed deeper into the Swedish inshore waters. By the island Mälsten, the Swedish Navy October 12, 1982 made a tape recording that was said to be a Soviet submarine of the Whiskey-class. The same type that ran aground in Gåsefjärden a year earlier. The tape recording came to be the Swedish side main evidence that a Soviet submarine was in Swedish waters in the submarine talks in Moscow from 1992 to 1994. But Russia refused to recognize. They argued strongly that it wasn’t a Soviet submarine that the Swedish Navy had recorded.

A set of forecast survey data is analyzed in this paper for properties consistent with the Rational Expectations Hypothesis. Standard statistical tests for "rational expectations" are employed utilizing consensus forecasts generated by an interest rate newsletter. Four selected variables (Fed Funds rate, M1 rate of growth, rate of change in CPI, and real GNP growth rate) are analyzed over multiple time horizons. Results tend to reject "rational expectations" for most variables and time horizons. Forecasts are more likely to meet "rationality" criteria the shorter the forecast horizon, with the notable exception of forecasts of real GNP growth.

Grenoble 2, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005GRE21009.

Full text
Abstract:
Les Missions locales constituent une figure emblématique des ambitions et des limites des politiques d'insertion des jeunes, de la réflexion inaugurale du rapport Schwartz (1981) à l'élaboration d'une convention collective pour leur personnel (2001). La thèse prend comme objet d'étude l'action publique d'aide à l'orientation, dont les premières formes sont apparues au début du siècle dernier. Porteuses d'un projet réformateur, les Missions locales véhiculent une perspective particulariste et systémique de l'aide à l'orientation pour l'insertion. Le modèle qui s'invente infléchit de la sorte les finalités universaliste et utilitariste de l'action publique d'aide à l'orientation. Cette forme d'intervention sociale participe des recompositions de l'Etat social. A l'occasion de la loi quinquennale de 1993, qui confie davantage de compétences aux Régions en matière de formation professionnelle des jeunes, les Conseils régionaux vont intervenir à leur tour dans le paysage éclaté des dispositifs d'aide à l'orientation. Rhône-Alpes fait figure de cas exemplaire dans la tentative de construction d'une politique régionale d'aide à l'orientation, qui traverse les politiques de formation, d'emploi et d'insertion. Au hasard des réformes de décentralisation, la rencontre entre la collectivité territoriale et le réseau aura favorisé la diffusion d'un nouveau modèle d'aide à l'orientation tout au long de la vie. Entre le constat désabusé d'une gestion sociale de l'exclusion et la perspective incertaine d'une sécurisation des trajectoires professionnelles des jeunes, la question de l'orientation peut aider à penser celle de l'insertion
The "Missions locales" serve to illustrate in an emblematic way both the ambitions and the limits of the policies concerning the integration of young people, from the Schwartz report, initiating a reflexion in 1981, to the elaboration of a collective convention for their staff in 2001. The aim of this thesis is to study how public action, whose first directions date from the beginning of last century, deals with the issue of youth employment advice. As bearers of reforms inherent to their plan, the Missions locales provide a specific and systemic prospect in which careers advice deals with integration. The self-made pattern thus influences the universalist and pragmatic aims of public action dealing with employment guidance. This aspect of social intervention goes along with the redefinition of the social state. On the arrival of the five-year plan of 1993 granting more abilities to the Regions in matters of professional education for young people, local councils will in turn interface with the complex landscape of all the devices set up to promote careers guidance. Rhône-Alpes stands out as a prominent figure, setting an example in their attempt to build up a local policy for the promotion of young people's employment prospects which includes their training for a career, their choice of a job and their integration in society. As reforms aimed at decentralization appear, the connection between Regions and Missions locales will have encouraged the inception of a new scheme helping people to find suitable work lifelong. It is reasonable to assume that the issue at stake here is how careers advice may aid our thinking about the problem of integration

Abstract:
This thesis attempts to analyze the market response of stock prices of major U.S. banks to the February, 1987 Brazilian loan default announcement. The study's general hypothesis is that the market revalued stock prices according to each bank's amount of Brazilian loan exposure. The first chapter examines the significance of the default announcement. A survey of related literature is presented in the second chapter. Chapter III specifies the methodological techniques involved in analysis of the data. Chapter IV reports the findings of the study. Conclusions about the results are drawn in Chapter V. The results indicate the market is efficient. They also suggest that individual exposure was the major determinant of bank stock price decline.

Abstract:
Ce travail traite de la question du héros dans notre hypermodernité. Il y aurait certes, quelque chose d’un brin anachronique voire paradoxal à s’intéresser à la question du héros dans notre monde d’après le père. Il suffit pourtant de lire un quotidien, d’allumer sa radio, de se connecter…, pour avoir un sentiment contraire à l’idée qu’il n’y aurait plus de héros et donc, sans doute, qu’il n’y en aurait plus besoin. Au contraire même puisqu’à chaque jour, voire heure, «son héros». Bref, l’affaire semble bien plus complexe. Il ne s’agira pas ici, dans ce qui serait une démarche d’historien, de présenter les grandes ruptures dans l’histoire de l’héroïsme en Occident; ou de passer en revue les figures de héros au cours du XX siècle et du début de ce nouveau siècle. Il s’agira d’interroger à quelle place le héros vient-il dans notre hypermodernité. Plus précisément, nous nous poserons la question de l’usage du héros dans le discours de la science; pour autant que ce discours règne aujourd’hui en maître et, qu’il contribue, verrons-nous avec Lacan, à la montée de l’objet.Nous prendrons pour point d’appui, ici, le cinéma, et notamment le cinéma américain dont le principal sujet aura longtemps été, notait Serge Daney, «la naissance du héros». Il n’est d’ailleurs besoin de préciser combien le héros est une question intimement liée à l’histoire des Etats-Unis d’Amérique. Aussi n’est-il sans doute pas étonnant que les super héros, qui sont aujourd’hui partout et en premier lieu au grand écran, aient été créés, au début du XXe siècle, par de jeunes New-Yorkais - et nous le verrons, issus de la deuxième génération d’immigrés juifs d’Europe de l’Est
This work addresses the state of the hero at the forefront of modernity. It would certainly appear a bit anachronistic even paradoxal I would say to question the state of the hero in our world according to father. Yet it would be sufficient to read a journal or turn on the radio or even connect to the internet to feel that quite the opposite of the idea of not needing and having a hero is true.On the contrary, for each day and every hour its own hero. In short this case seems way more complexe than it looks.This is not going to be just one more historian’s approach to the big ruptures of the history of heroism in the west, nor will it be a review of all the important heroic figures of the 20iest and the beginning of this century. It will be about questioning where does the hero fit in our hypermodernity. More precisely we will raise the question of the hero’s place at the heart of science. Noting that science has become a predominant subject nowadays and it contributes, we will see it with Lacan, to the rising of the object.We will take here a reference point, the cinema and more specifically the American cinema in which the main focus have long been «the birth of the hero» as quoted by Serge Daney. No need to specify how important the Hero’s existence is for the United States of America’s history. Then again, isn’t it surprising that superhero, that feature today everywhere and especially on our big screens, were created beginning of the 20iest century by young New-Yorkers - and we will see it coming from the second generation of Jewish immigrants coming from Easter European

Full text
Abstract:
The financial crisis facing the United States savings and loan industry has been steadily escalating over the last decade. During this time, accounting treatments concerning various thrift institution transactions have also attracted a great deal of attention. The specialized accounting treatments used in the thrift industry, known as regulatory accounting practices (RAP) have been blamed as one of the culprits hindering the regulators' ability to detect serious financial problems within many institutions. Accordingly, RAP was phased out, and all federally insured savings and loan associations began preparing their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as of January 1, 1989. The purpose of this dissertation is to compare the relative predictive values of the two historical cost based accounting conventions (RAP and GAAP) available to the savings and loar? industry during the 1980's. For purposes of this dissertation, predictive value is defined as the usefulness in assessing future financial health and viability. The sample consisted of all the institutions reporting to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas between 1984 and 1989. Year-end thrift financial report data, obtained from Sheshunoff Information Services, Inc. (Austin, Texas) was used to calculate several financial ratios. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas provided a comprehensive listing of all institutions that failed between January 1, 1985 and March 31, 1989. The null hypothesis tested in this study was: no significant differences existed between the predictive values of RAP and GAAP financial statements. Using a dichotomous dependent variable (failed/not failed) and independent variables from prior research, several multinomial logistic models were developed to test the null hypothesis. All models developed failed to reject the null hypothesis.

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o estado da arte na área de Educação Física, nesta última década (2001/2010), sob a ótica de quatro periódicos: revista Motriz, revista Movimento, Revista Brasileira de Ciência e Movimento e Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Esporte. Partimos de uma etapa preliminar da investigação, de caráter exploratório, que procurou selecionar os estudos, nos periódicos mencionados, que tivessem interface com a Educação Física escolar. Realizamos uma leitura inicial do material coletado. Tratou-se de uma fase prévia de contato e assimilação das primeiras impressões dos textos, no intuito de se desprender de (pré)conceitos e riscos de armadilhas do senso comum, que nos impedisse de ter uma visão mais ampliada da área. Desse modo, deixamos emergir de forma natural seus núcleos de sentidos, permitindo que os próprios resumos nos “falassem” e apresentassem as seguintes categorias: categoria 1 – Proposta de intervenção pedagógica e ou curricular; categoria 2 – Verificação/percepção/diagnóstico da situação pedagógica; categoria 3 – Experiências de ensino-aprendizagem; categoria 4 – Estudos históricos; categoria 5 – Estudos biológicos; e categoria 6 – Demais estudos. Após esse passo, os artigos foram distribuídos entre elas. Após esse passo, foi proposta a análise de conteúdo da categoria 3, por acreditar que ela é a que mais se aproxima dos objetivos do estudo, pois é possível identificar pesquisas empíricas com modelos e ou propostas já aplicadas ao cotidiano escolar. A pesquisa é de natureza descritiva e qualitativa, utilizando a análise de conteúdo para entender os núcleos de sentidos dos artigos selecionados. Concluímos que a análise retrospectiva aponta um avanço no que tange a propostas de pesquisas empíricas propositivasintervencionistas, que, a nosso ver, dão pistas sobre as lacunas do fazer pedagógico do professor e privilegiam os atores que estão em cena no cotidiano escolar. No entanto, como demonstrado no seção 3.5, a maior parte dos estudos confirma a hipótese inicial, em que o conhecimento produzido na Educação Física escolar orienta-se fundamentalmente para os estudos de revisão e ensaios. Como necessidade, podemos dizer que, como em qualquer área científica, se faz necessário empreender novas pesquisas, e aqui ressaltamos as da categoria 3, pois tais pesquisas possibilitam novas descobertas para que o campo da Educação Física escolar continue evoluindo. Baseado também nos 16 estudos da categoria analisada, podemos perceber que não existe um consenso teórico acerca do real objeto da Educação Física, pois, na verdade, numa área tão abrangente, não se deve realmente se prender a um só objeto, mas sim a “objetos de estudos”.
The objective of this study was to verify the state of the art in the area of Physical Education, in the last decade (2001/2010), from the perspective of four journals: journal Motriz, journal Movimento, Revista Brasileira de Ciência e Movimento e Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Esporte. We start with a preliminary stage of research, exploratory study that sought to select the studies mentioned in the journals, which have interface with the physical education. We conducted an initial reading of the material collected. This was a phase of contact and assimilation of the first impressions of the texts in order to let go of prejudices and risks of the pitfalls common sense, that keep us from having a broader view of the area. Thus, we emerge in a natural sense of their cores, allowing the summaries themselves "speak" and submit the following categories: Category 1 - Proposed or curricular and pedagogical intervention; Category 2 - Verification / awareness / educational diagnosis of the situation ; category 3 - Experiences of teaching and learning; category 4 - Historical studies; category 5 - biological studies, and category 6 - other studies. After this step, the items were distributed among them. After this step, was proposed content analysis of category 3, believing that it is the closest to the study objectives, it is possible to identify models and empirical research with already implemented or proposed to the school routine. The research is descriptive and qualitative nature, using content analysis to understand the core meaning of the selected articles. We conclude that the retrospective analysis shows an improvement with respect to proposals for empirical research propositional-interventionist, which, in our view, give clues about the shortcomings of the pedagogical focus of the teacher and the actors are on stage in school life. However, as demonstrated in section 3.5, most studies confirm the initial hypothesis, in which the knowledge produced in physical education is geared primarily to review the studies and tests. As needed, we can say that, as in any scientific field, it is necessary to undertake new research, and here we emphasize the third category, because such research enable new discoveries to the field of physical education continues to evolve. Based on 16 studies also analyzed the category, we can see that there is no theoretical consensus on the real object of physical education, because in truth, an area so comprehensive, it should not really hold a single object, but "objects of study.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda och analysera vilka villkor som skall vara uppfyllda för att uttagsbeskattning skall underlåtas vid en blandad överlåtelse av lagerfastighet i enskild näringsverksamhet och vilka skatteeffekter en underlåten uttagsbeskattning leder till för en enskild näringsidkare.

I uppsatsen utreds och analyseras den praxis som utvecklats för underlåten uttagsbeskattning vid blandade överlåtelser av lagerfastigheter fram tills det att underprislagen trädde i kraft. Genom upplägg har det varit möjligt för enskilda näringsidkare att minska skattebelastningen vid överlåtelser av lagerfastigheter från över 60 procent till runt 13 procent. Centrala förhandsbesked i utredningen är bland annat RÅ 1981 not. 709, RÅ 1981 not. 710 och RÅ 1989 ref. 112 där Regeringsrätten godtagit benefika överlåtelser som givit den lägre beskattningen utan att givaren uttagsbeskattades. I ett nästa steg utreds lagstiftningsåtgärderna för att reglera i vilka fall uttagsbeskattning skall underlåtas och hur förändringarna förhåller sig till tidigare praxis. I utredningen är huvudsaklighetsprincipen och tillgångars skattemässiga karaktär tillsammans med kontinuitetsprincipen viktigt och har därför en central roll. Förhandsbeskedet RÅ 2004 ref. 42 är av stort intresse för uppsatsens syfte då frågan i förhandsbeskedet avsåg just vilka villkor som skulle vara uppfyllda för underlåten uttagsbeskattning vid benefika överlåtelser av lagerfastigheter.

Förhandsbeskedet RÅ 2004 ref. 42 har tolkats av bland annat Skatterättsnämnden som att reglerna om underprisöverlåtelse i 23 kapitlet inkomstskattelagen är tillämpliga vid benefika överlåtelser av lagerfastigheter. Ett undantag är att ersättning som lämnas av mottagaren vilken överstiger omkostnadsbeloppet men understiger taxeringsvärdet för givaren inte skall tas upp som en intäkt i inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet vid benefika överlåtelser av lagerfastigheter. Detta är en följd av huvudsaklighetsprincipen som tillämpas vid blandade överlåtelser av fastigheter. Vid blandade överlåtelser av andra tillgångar än lagerfastigheter skall dock ersättning som överstiger omkostnadsbeloppet tas upp som en intäkt i inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet för enskilda näringsidkare, vilket gör att det finns en skillnad i beskattning mellan olika tillgångar. Det måste anses föreligga en viss osäkerhet i Regeringsrättens resonemang och en tolkning enligt ovan är inte helt säker. Regeringsrätten antyder att lagstiftningen inte ger anledning att avvika från praxis avseende just benefika överlåtelser av lagerfastigheter. En tolkning som innebär att 23 kapitlet inkomstskattelagen är tillämpligt innebär dock att i princip all praxis skall bortses ifrån vad avser de villkor som skulle vara uppfyllda för underlåten uttagsbeskattning enligt praxis. Regeringsrättens formulering är därför märklig.

Den slutsats som kan dras av det utredda området är att uttagsbeskattning kan underlåtas vid blandade överlåtelser av lagerfastigheter under förutsättning att villkoren i 23 kapitlet inkomstskattelagen är uppfyllda. Detta innebär att något mer komplicerade upplägg är nödvändiga efter lagstiftningsåtgärderna för att minska skattebördan för enskilda näringsidkare som innehar lagerfastigheter och skall avyttra dem. Den tolkning av förhandsbeskedet RÅ 2004 ref. 42 som gjorts av Skatterättsnämnden kan inte garanteras vara korrekt och ett försiktigt tillvägagångssätt bör vara att föredra. Enligt reglerna i 23 kapitlet inkomstskattelagen är det bland annat möjligt med blandade överlåtelser av enskilda lagerfastigheter i ett större bestånd. Sådana överlåtelser var inte möjliga enligt tidigare praxis då endast överlåtelser av hel näringsverksamhet godtagits. Viss försiktighet bör som nämnt därför iakttagas.

Abstract:
Este trabalho identifica e analisa as principais características econômicas da produção e comercialização de dormentes no Estado do Paraná, mais especificamente na área sob a jurisdição da Superintendência Regional de Curitiba da Rede Ferroviária Federal S.A., SR-5, com seus 3.911,44 Km de malha viária, no período 1981-6. 0 dormente de madeira e o produto, ainda, com grande utilização nesta regional, tendo-se empregado, em caráter experimental, alguns quilômetros com peças de concreto. Quanto a formatação as peças de madeira apresentam-se com a configuração prismática, porém, para o futuro ë provável a aplicação de produtos roliços ou de duas faces. 0 suprimento de dormentes para esta regional apresentou, no período 1981-6, deficiências qualitativas e quantitativas devido à crescente escassez de florestas naturais no Estado do Paraná, assim como as peças produzidas são oriundas de espécies com poucas aptidões para esse processo produtivo, proporcionando um elevado índice de substituição destes produtos nas vias. As regiões de Guarapuava (PR) e União da Vitória (PR) apresentaram grande participação no suprimento de dormente para esta regional, onde se utilizam para o desdobro o sistema semimecanizado com moto-serra. Sob o aspecto da comercialização, tem-se para este mercado as características de um oligopólio na produção e um monopsónio no consumo. A produção e consumo apresentaram-se altamente concentrados, onde 2 entre 10 fornecedores, em 1986, representaram 82,1% da produção e a SR-5 alcançou 98% do consumo dessas peças. Os preços dos dormentes sofreram, no período analisado, uma perda real em seus valores, o que proporcionou aos produtores baixos índices de lucratividade. Em função dos dormentes de madeira apresentar maior economicidade de uso, tem-se como perspectiva futura para a SR-5, no curto-prazo, que o suprimento seja realizado por áreas onde existe abundância em florestas nativas, tais como o norte do Brasil, o Paraguai ou Argentina. Com relação ao longo-prazo, é viável a SR-5 tornar-se auto-suficiente mediante a implantação de povoamentos de eucalipto, os quais apresentam potenciais de rentabilidade ao redor de 7,15% ao ano.

Abstract:
Pour la première fois depuis 1952, les urnes ont consacré une nouvelle majorité politique au Sénégal. La défaite politique d'Abdou Diouf à la présidentielle de 2000 et celle de son parti, le PS aux législatives d'avril 2001 s'expliquent par une longue conjoncture de crise sociale et économique à laquelle sont venus se greffer des facteurs politiques déstructurants liés notamment au congrès extraordinaire de mars 1996. Des leaders historiques socialistes représentatifs du mode traditionnel de domination politique contestent la légitimité du nouveau Premier secrétaire Ousmane Tanor Dieng imposé par Diouf et présenté comme son "dauphin putatif". C'est la fin d'un demi-siècle d'hégémonie électorale. Cette thèse analyse et interprète la trajectoire de crise protéiforme qui "travaille" le tissu socio-politique du Fouta-Tooro de 1983 à 2001. A la lumière de trois logiques sociales fondamentales - stratification distributive, don et contre-don, monopole tooroodo - l'auteur questionne la crise de l'Etat et le mode de déstabilisation des régulations routinières pour expliquer comment on est passé de la logiques des "élections sans risque" à une démocratie électorale crédible permettant l'alternance
Since 1952 the Parti socialiste (PS) has been exerting an electoral hegemony over the Senegalese polity. The overall economic climate in the one hand, political issues created by Ousmane Tanor Dieng's contested legitimacy at the head of the PS, in the other, account for Abdou Diouf's electoral defeat in 19 March 2000 as well as his party's in 29 April 2001. This doctoral thesis analyses and interprets the critical and protean trajectory wich "works on" Haalpulaar en voters mind from 1983 to 2001 in Fouta-Tooro. In the light of three fundamental social logics - distributive stratification of power, gift and counter-gift, the tooroodo monopoly on modern political legitimacy - , the author questions the state crisis and its corollary : the destabilization of routine regulations, to explain how the changeover of political power between parties became feasible via free and fair elections

Abstract:
Cette étude a pour ambition de cerner la sensibilité esthétique qui s’est développée dans la chanson française depuis le début des années trente au contact des différentes formes de jazz. L’arrivée en France, dès la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, de nouveaux genres musicaux venus d’Amérique bouscule le paysage artistique ainsi que certaines conceptions esthétiques occidentales. Le jazz questionne la forme dans son rapport au signifié, impose le sonore pour créer du sens et interroge ainsi l’art du début du siècle, savant ou populaire, sonore ou visuel, de Pierre Mac Orlan à Darius Milhaud, Wassily Kandinsky ou Piet Mondrian. Comment la chanson française, genre alors lyrique et contraint, parvient-elle à concilier les nécessités poétiques qui la définissent avec les libertés formelles qui caractérisent le jazz ? Dans le cadre théorique et critique de la cantologie, étude pluridisciplinaire et spécifique de la chanson, et à travers l’œuvre de trois auteurs-compositeurs-interprètes ayant des approches du jazz très différentes, voire opposées, ce travail de recherche consiste à interroger ce qui musicologiquement relève du jazz pour en évaluer l’impact sur les caractéristiques fondamentales de la chanson française, en particulier sur les textes poétiques, la fluctuation des limites entre texte et musique, la conception rythmique et la modernité de l’interprétation vocale et scénique
The present thesis explores the aesthetic sensibility developed in French song as of the early thirties through its contact with different forms of jazz. The change that occurred in France after the Great War, mainly due to new musical genres coming from America, shook the European artistic scene, and more generally Western views on aesthetics. Jazz questions form in its relation to the signified, requires sound to create meaning and thus becomes an essential part in the reflection on the arts in the first decades of the twentieth century, whether high-brow or popular culture, in sound or sight. Examples abound such as Pierre Mac Orlan, Darius Milhaud, Wassily Kandinsky or Piet Mondrian. How does French song, as a lyrical and constrained genre, reconcile its own idiosyncratic poetics with the formal openness of jazz? This study is set within the framework of cantology, the multidisciplinary and specific study of song, and explores the work of three singer-songwriters with significant differences in their approaches to jazz. It examines what from a musicological viewpoint falls into the category of jazz, in order to evaluate the impact it has had on French song, especially on poetic texts, as well as the fluctuating boundaries between text and music, the rhythmic design, and the modernity of the vocal and scenic rendition

The employment rate of young partnered women and partnered mothers increased considerably over the 1980s, while there was less change in the 1990s. This thesis explores these changes, with a focus on partnered mothers with young children. The objectives are to describe what the changes in female employment were, and to analyse why they might have occurred. ¶ The analyses were primarily quantitative, although they were put into context with extensive reviews of Australian and, where relevant, international literature. The primary source of data was Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census data.

Abstract:
This project examines attitude change between 1981 and 2001 for a population of young, well educated Canadians, employing evaluation, potency and activity (EPA) semantic differential ratings of approximately 800 social identities. This comprises my larger data set. I also employ a smaller subset of 102 social identities drawn from the larger data set to explore changes across three points in time (1981, 1995, and 2001) for 102 social identities, supplementing my analysis across two points in time (1981 and 2001) for 800 social identities. The objectives for this dissertation are: (1) to assess stability of attitudes for social identities over time; (2) to identify and describe patterns of change in identity attitudes and to connect observed changes in identity attitudes to historical events, and to social and cultural change in Canadian society; (3) to explore the extent to which identities that cluster together in EPA space define social institutions; and (4) to explore how changes in identity attitudes affect role expectations over time. Despite significant shifts in attitudes for a number of identities, approximately 80% of identity attitudes remained stable over time, confirming findings from past research that cultural sentiments are slow to change. Observed changes could be connected to social and cultural structure. Specifically, dramatic changes occurred for religious and sexual preference/orientation identities. Numerous religious identities decreased on evaluation for male respondents between 1981 and 1995 and then were restored to earlier levels by 2001. Female respondents were not as forgiving and 1995 decreases in evaluation were sustained. These changes are connected to increased secularization and earlier sexual scandals in religious institutions. Sexual preference/orientation identities increased significantly on evaluation for both males and females. However, increases for females were more dramatic and occurred across all three points in time while changes in attitudes for males occurred between 1981 and 1995 and then changed little between 1995 and 2001. These changes can be connected to numerous factors, including the increased visibility of gay/lesbian culture in mainstream media and the absence of a strong anti-gay counter movement. Although social identities clustered in interesting ways, cluster analysis was not very successful in defining social institutions. Computer simulations revealed how role and behaviour expectations change with changes in identity attitudes. For example, there is obvious increase in evaluation between 1981 and 2001 for the behavior of a police officer toward a homosexual. This dissertation concludes by addressing methodological issues such as sample size and generalizability. It is suggested that the corpus of identities should be continually updated to include identities that are emerging from pop culture. Finally, four areas of future research are suggested: (1) a continual monitoring of cultural sentiments; (2) a more detailed focus on individual social institutions; (3) a confirmation of computer predictions with qualitative interview data; and (4) identifying the implications of this research for trend analysis. Practical implications of this dissertation research include the use of computer simulations of identity-role processes in the areas of education and policy research.

Abstract:
Im Zeitraum von Mai 1981 bis Dezember 2001 wurden insgesamt 1106 Patienten mit einem Plattenepithelkarzinom der Mundhöhle, des Oropharynx oder der Lippe an der Klinik für Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie der Universität Würzburg behandelt. Bei allen Patienten wurde eine Maximaltherapie angestrebt, möglichst in Form einer präoperativen Radio-Chemo-Therapie und einer folgenden radikalen Resektion des Karzinoms im Gesunden, gegebenenfalls unter Einbeziehung der ableitenden Lymphwege. Fanden sich bei der pathologischen Untersuchung des Resektionspräparates vitale Tumorzellen am Resektionsrand, so wurde der Patient einer Nachresektion und/oder einer postoperativen Bestrahlung unterzogen. Zum Abschluss der vorliegenden Untersuchung, wurde der Status der Würzburger Patienten bzw. deren Todeszeitpunkt ermittelt. Die Dokumentation des Patientengutes erfolgte retrospektiv über Informationen aus den Tumordokumentationsbögen (II. Version) der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Tumorzentren (ADT). Die ADT-Tumorbögen erfassen 139 Tumorparameter auf den Gebieten der Anamnese, Befunderhebung, Prätherapeutik, Therapie und Follow-Up. Die weitere Dokumentation erfolgte auf der Basis der klinischer Untersuchungen, Patientendokumentationen, OP-Buch und OP- Berichten. Die Patienten wurden nach Abschluss der Therapie in ein ambulantes Tumornachsorgeprogramm aufgenommen, dass Beobachtungszeiträume bis zu 20 Jahren postoperativ erreicht wurden. Darüber hinaus gaben die abgelegten Karteikarten im Archiv Aufschluss über bereits verstorbene Patienten. Da auf diesem Wege nur ein geringer Teil der Patienten erfasst werden konnte, wurden die gesetzlichen Krankenkassen mit einem Registerformular des DÖSAK angeschrieben. In manchen Fällen verweigerten die Krankenkassen aus angeblich datenschutzrechtlichen Gründen die Auskunft oder konnten aufgrund eines Wechsels zu einer anderen Krankenkasse keine Auskunft geben. In diesen Fällen wurde eine Anfrage bei den örtlichen Einwohnermeldeämtern gemacht, die durch den auf den Patientenkarten angegebenen Wohnort ermittelt wurden. Andere Patienten wurden direkt durch Telefonate über ihr derzeitiges Wohlergehen befragt
In the period of May 1981 until December 2001 altogether 1106 patients with a squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, the oropharynx or the lip were treated at the Clinic of Mouth-, Jaw- and Facesurgery of the University of Wuerzburg. With all patients a maximum therapy was aimed at, in form of a preoperative radio chemotherapy and a following radical resection of the carcinom in recovering, as if necessary as possible including the deriving lymphatic system. If vital tumor cells were found at the border of resection in the pathological investigation of the preparation, the patient was undergone to a second resection and/or a post-operative irradiation. For the conclusion of the available study, the status of the Wuerzburger patients respectively their time of death was determined. The documentation of the case material was made retrospectively by information from the tumor documentation elbows (II. version) of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Tumorzentren (ADT). The ADT tumor documentation sheet seizes 139 tumor parameters in the areas of the anamnesis, medical documentation, pretherapeutic, therapy and follow up. The further documentation took place on the basis clinical examination, medical documentations, operationbook and the operationreports. The patients were discharged after the end of the therapy to an ambulatory tumor aftercare program, so that observation periods post -operationally were reached up to 20 years. Beyond that the put down record sheets in archives gave the deceased patient to explanation. Since in this way only a small part of the patients could be seized, the legal health insurance companies were written to with a form for register of the DOESAK. In some cases the health insurance companies for allegedly data security-legal reasons refused the information or could give no information because of a change to another health insurance company. In these cases an inquiry with the local inhabitant reporting offices was made, which were determined by the residence indicated on the patients record. Other patients were asked directly by telephone calls about their present well-being

The research mainly utilizes urbanization (population index), industrialization (industrial index), and the flow of labor (out-migration) to explain the characteristic of “periphery” of the eastern part of Taiwan, and describes the features of economic activities and spatial distribution of Hua-Tung area in the years of 1981, 1991 and 2001. The research outcomes are as follows: 1. The features of economic development of Hua-Tung area are: the basic section dominated primary industry, the weak foundation of secondary industry with strong tendency toward “resource exploitation,” and the consumer service mainly as the tertiary industry with vulnerable producer service. 2. The geographical distribution of the secondary and the tertiary industries concentrates on Hualien City, Taitung City and Chi-an Hsiang (Township). 3. Three indexes: high percentage of outflow employed population, low degree of urbanization, and weak industrialization, characterizes the eastern area of Taiwan. Two main cores: Hualien City in the north and Taitung City in the south, results from the regional development of East Taiwan. Several semi-cores also develop between the two main cores: Cheng-kung Cheng along the coastal area, Kuan-shan Cheng and Yu-li Cheng laying in the Hua-tung valley, and south of Taitung City Ta-wu Hsiang. 4. The tertiary industry of Hualien and Taitung Cities expand to the neighboring townships: Chi-an and Hsin-cheng Hsiangs belonging to Hualien whereas Pi-nan Hsiang to Taitung.
