Abstract:

This thesis explores how the advent of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 caused Native American identities to become hyper-politicized and manipulated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA) Federal Acknowledgment Process (FAP). I use the Ramapough Lenape Nation of New York and New Jersey's 1990's attempt at federal recognition as an example of gaming's pervasiveness in identity debates. I demonstrate that despite the consistent understanding of the Ramapough's Lenni-Lenape ancestry through direct and indirect references since the eighteenth century, the risk of Ramapough gaming in New Jersey caused proponents of Atlantic City, New Jersey's gaming economy to secure an unjust denial of Ramapough sovereignty through interference in FAP proceedings.

Abstract:

A presente tese investiga a forma pela qual a ideia de reconhecimento poderia nortear a leitura das interpretações fáusticas da primeira metade do século XX, a saber: Tragédia Subjectiva de Fernando Pessoa, Dr. Fausto de Thomas Mann e Meu Fausto de Paul Valéry. Ou seja, as apropriações do mito por Thomas Mann, Pessoa e Paul Valéry seriam apreensões distintas da tragédia do conhecimento cujo desenvolvimento residiria na ideia de uma falha de reconhecimento: falência ou impossibilidade de reconhecer. O conceito de reconhecimento será estudado a partir dos ensaios e livros do filósofo americano Stanley Cavell, entendendo-se reconhecimento enquanto denominador comum entre a ideia de tragédia e do ceticismo: ambos resultam de falhas no reconhecimento. Assim, o presente estudo busca compreender como as três interpretações fáusticas vivem a falência do reconhecimento reiterando, dessa maneira, o afastamento da tradição goetheana This thesis aims at investigating the way in which the idea of acknowledgment could guide the reading of the Faustian interpretations written in the first half of the twentieth century: Tragédia Subjectiva by Fernando Pessoa, Dr. Fausto by Thomas Mann and Meu Fausto by Paul Valéry. That is, the appropriations of the myth by Thomas Mann, Pessoa and Paul Valéry would all be different interpretations on the tragedy of knowledge whose development lies in the idea of a failure of acknowledgement: failure or impossibility to acknowledge. The study of the concept of acknowledgment will be based on Stanley Cavells essays and books, by understanding that acknowledgment is the common denominator between the ideas of tragedy and skepticism: both result from a failure or impossibility to acknowledge. Thus, this present studys aim is to understand how the three Faustian interpretations deal with the failure of acknowledgment and therefore reiterate their distance from Goethes tradition

Abstract:

Most current literature has ignored the impact of exposure to rape, acknowledgement of the event as such, and psychological adjustment after rape on Black women. This study examines whether the basic relationships that have been established with predominately White samples replicate in a Black female sample. Importantly, the current study also explores whether ethnic identity moderates the aforementioned relationships. Black females were recruited from two universities, one predominately White and one historically Black, to participate in a web-based survey. Participants were recruited via departmental and university listservs, university-related research posts, psychology departments, and flyers. Three hundred sixteen eligible respondents completed the survey, with data collected over a three semester period. Participants completed demographic information, measures of ethnic identity, negative sexual experiences, anxiety, depression, and social support. Those who endorsed having had an experience that met the legal definition of rape in adolescence or adulthood provided further information about the characteristics of the experience, gave a label for the unwanted sexual contact, and completed a measure of posttraumatic stress disorder. Fourteen percent of the sample reported an experience that met the legal definition of rape. Sixty-nine percent of those women were unacknowledged. Results of replication-related hypotheses regarding the relationship between exposure, acknowledgement, and adjustment yielded partial support. The data supported that exposure to rape was related to psychological adjustment. Evidence was found that victims had higher anxiety and depression symptomatology than non-victims. There were mixed findings regarding acknowledgment status and psychological adjustment. The data failed to support the hypothesis that acknowledged and unacknowledged victims significantly differ on depression, anxiety, or PTSD scores. The data did support that acknowledged women experienced more psychological distress than non-victims. There were mixed findings regarding acknowledgment status and features of the exposure. Contrary to the hypothesis and previous research, there was not evidence that unacknowledged women and acknowledged women differ in terms of relationship to the offender and level of force or resistance used during the assault. Moderation hypotheses were partially supported. Data failed to support the hypothesis that ethnic identity moderates the relationship between exposure to rape and depression, anxiety, or social support. Evidence was not found that ethnic identity moderates the relationship between acknowledgement status and social support, depression, or anxiety. There was evidence that ethnic identity moderates the relationship between acknowledgement status and PTSD symptoms. Consistent with the hypotheses, results suggest that ethnic identity is positively related to the psychological well being of Black women and may have implications for the relationship between acknowledging a rape event and PTSD symptomatology. Clinical implications, threats to internal and external validity, and future directions for research with ethnic minorities are also discussed. Master of Science

Sarabia, Michael Paul. "The extinction of fiction: breaking boundaries and acknowledging character in medieval literature." Diss., University of Iowa, 2015. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6271.

Full text

Abstract:

My dissertation applies narrative theory and ordinary language philosophy to two major works bookending medieval English literature: Beowulf and Le Morte Darthur. Capitalizing on the descriptive power of narrative theory's lexicon, I outline the aesthetics, rhetoric, and other effects on the reader when these medieval writers depict transgressive movements--theoretically termed metalepsis--across borders in the story world, and over boundaries separating that world from our own. I often find that spatial transgressions, as they are visualized in narrative terms, entail or simultaneously occur with a breakdown of the fourth wall separating fiction from its audience. Malory's Sir Lancelot crosses into a spiritual world in pursuit of the Holy Grail only to arrive at an awareness of his existence as narrated fiction. My dissertation argues that moments like this, first analyzed through narrative theory, challenge the reader to recognize the fictional character's force of life, and in so doing expand the imagination to reconsider those metaphysical distinctions that have long rendered the nonhuman inferior. Those distinctions are unnecessary and often senseless, I argue. The ethics of reading fiction that I propose seeks the acknowledgment of limits to knowledge, to what we can claim to know about literature, its characters, and, indeed, our fellow human beings. Given that they are constructed by our ordinary language use, fictional characters are the essence of the other. Fictions, then, and as Stanley Cavell would agree, serve as testing grounds for our capacities of acknowledgment. I argue that both the Beowulf poet and Malory fashioned fictional worlds that preserve a secular heroism from potentially hostile contexts. In the process, these medieval narratives show us that fictional characters move us as a matter of ordinary language--our ordinary interactions with narrative: they play a significant role in our lives that cannot be reduced to any particular theory. There is no need for recourse to ontological, or theological, frameworks to invest them with some unutterable or mysterious meaning. They matter as a matter of course.

Abstract:

For the past two decades there has been an ever expanding interest in the implications of spirituality and, or, religion within the professional practice of social work (Anderson and Angell, 1999; Bishop, Avila-Juarbe, & Thumme, 2003; Cornett, 1992; Northcut, 1999; Northcut, 2000; Praglin, 2004 ; Sheridan, Wilmer and Atcheson,1994). Increasingly, scholars and social workers alike have been considering the appropriateness of inclusion and the practical implications involved. This interest has developed to include attention to spirituality within varying ethical codes and definitions of social work. This is evident in international social work organisations such as the IFSW (International Federation of Social Workers) and IASSW (International Association of Schools of Social Work). Both have begun to include religious and, or, spiritual concerns into professional practice principles. In Aotearoa New Zealand the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers (ANZASW) is a member of these international bodies; thus the profession is bound to the above principles. Additionally, the Aotearoa New Zealand Social Workers Registration Board (SWRB) code of practice reflects the standards and ethical codes of the ANZASW. Moreover, spirituality and, or, religion is an important aspect for different client groups within the Aotearoa social services context. This is particularly so within bicultural frameworks. Despite this, little attention has been given to exploring how social workers and social service agencies in Aotearoa New Zealand integrate this aspect in their work with clients to meet the varying ethical requirements. Additionally, little investigation has been undertaken to explore the implications religion and, or, spirituality might have within the Aotearoa New Zealand Social Services context. To date a number of conversations have occurred with regard to spirituality and religious concerns for Tangata Whenua, and to a lesser degree Tagata Pasifika. This study seeks to address the paucity of information by undertaking a mixed methods investigation of the role religion and spirituality has within Aotearoa New Zealand social work.

Abstract:

Tanken med följande kvalitativa studie är att visa hur ett antal förskolechefer motiverar sina medarbetare. Inledningsvis berör vi allmänt om vad som kan definieras som motivation, för att sedan gå in på motivationsteorier som vi anser är relevanta för vår studie. I vår teoretiska referensram använder vi oss av självbestämmande teorin (inre och yttre motivation), Maslows behovshierarki, Alderfers ERG teori och Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori. Vidare tar vi även upp om chefens roll vid motivation av sina medarbetare. Dock är det viktigaste utgångspunkten för vår studie sex faktorer som vi ur vår teoretiska referensram anser vara viktiga. Dessa faktorer är trivsel, missnöje, ansvar, självförverkligande, delaktighet och påverkan, kommunikation och feedback. Faktorerna som tagits ur vår teoretiska referensram kommer i sin tur knytas samman med det resultat vi har fått fram i vår studie.Sammanlagt har vi genomfört 10 semistrukturerade intervjuer med förskolechefer inom Borås och Skövde kommun, samtliga av dessa intervjuer utfördes på chefernas arbetsplats och några via telefon. Våra intervjuer hölls inom en viss struktur, men hade som avsikt att ge respondenterna en frihet då de svarade på våra frågor.Resultatet på vår studie visar att dialog och bekräftelse är två faktorer som är väldigt viktiga i chefers arbete för att motivera sina medarbetare. Dialog och bekräftelse handlar om att se och höra medarbetarna, vilket respondenterna tror skapar motivation och arbetstillfredsställelse.Studien är gjord på svenska.

Abstract:

Title: Who is the expert and on what? A qualitative study of the social workers response of the client. The purpose with this study is to obtain an insight in how the social workers reason around the interaction with the client and how they see the client as an expert on herself. The study is qualitative and is based on semi-structured interviews with nine informants from different parts of the social Service from municipalities. The qualitative study has an inductive and a deductive approach and a perspective that is constructivism. These interviews were thematized and three themes emerged. The first theme was about the response of the client and how the social workers looks at their role as professional in relation to the clients they encounter. Another key part of the same theme was the meeting with the client. The second theme has the client as the expert as the central part. The key here was the profession's view of the client's own knowledge about themselves and how social workers handle the client's knowledge. The third and last theme was all about how the profession meets and treats the client on the basis of guidelines and manuals. Central to this theme was this how the social worker looks at the use of guidelines and manuals during the meeting with the client, which some see them as a help and some see that sometimes these become a hindrance. These three themes are on social workers perspective on the treatment of the client from different angles. Titel: Vem är expert och på vad? En kvalitativ studie om socialsekreterarnas bemötande av klienten. Syftet med denna studie är att få en inblick i hur socialsekreterarna resonerar kring bemötandet av klienten och hur de ser på klienten som expert på sig själv. Studien är kvalitativ och baserades på semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio informanter från olika delar inom socialtjänsten från olika kommuner. Den kvalitativa studien har en induktiv ansats med inslag av deduktiv ansats och utgår från det konstruktivistiska perspektivet. Intervjuerna har tematiserats varvid tre teman kommit fram. Första temat handlar om bemötandet av klienten och hur socialsekreterarna ser på sin roll som professionell i förhållande till de klienter de möter. Ytterligare en central del i samma tema är mötet med klienten. Det andra temat har klienten som expert som central del. Här är det professionens syn på klientens egna kunskaper om sig själva och hur socialsekreterarna hanterar klientens kunskap som är det centrala. Tredje och sista temat handlar om hur professionen möter och bemöter klienten utifrån riktlinjer och manualer. Det centrala i detta tema är här hur socialsekreterare ser på användandet av manualer i mötet med klienten, där en del ser dem som en hjälp och en del ser att emellanåt blir dessa ett hinder. Dessa tre teman handlar om socialsekreterares perspektiv på bemötande av klienten från olika infallsvinklar.

Full text

Abstract:

Au sein du débat contemporain sur les théories de la justice, les philosophes se posent de plus en plus la question de la particularisation des principes du juste dans des terrains autrement plus complexes que ceux qu’envisage John Rawls, où « toutes choses sont égales par ailleurs ». A cet égard, un nouveau domaine d’application encore peu exploré se présente dans le cadre des transitions démocratiques : quelle forme de justice doit être mise en œuvre dans ces situations extrêmes, pour répondre à des conflits identitaires ou « ethniques » semblables à ces « guerres des dieux » que le libéralisme était précisément né pour combattre ? Cette « justice transitionnelle », ainsi déjà nommée dans les cercles d’experts, comprend des dimensions à la fois rétributive, reconstructive et économique, et tend à s’apparenter à une théorie générale du juste. Ce travail entend questionner ce point de vue afin de déterminer dans quelle mesure le « cas extrême » des sociétés « post-conflit » peut constituer un « test » empirique pour certaines de nos intuitions bien fondées concernant la justice politique en général. Une tension structurelle semble en effet exister entre la « fin » de la justice transitionnelle et les moyens qu’elle emploie. Car la notion même de transition suppose une certaine téléologie : les sociétés transitent toujours « vers » quelque chose, et cet horizon politique, dans le monde de l’après-Guerre Froide où la justice transitionnelle est née, se voit toujours rapporté à une forme de démocratie libérale. Pourtant, au niveau de ses moyens, la justice transitionnelle contredit souvent cet objectif, en ayant recours à des outils et à des concepts qui remettent en question certains fondements bien pensés du libéralisme : moralisation du droit, défense des libertés positives, holisme social, sentimentalisation de la sphère publique, visée thérapeutique ou encore conception « épaisse » et substantielle de la réconciliation, semblent tous faire pencher la justice transitionnelle davantage vers une forme de perfectionnisme politique et moral que vers un libéralisme entièrement procédural et neutre. Il s’agira donc ici de comprendre dans quelle mesure ce « détour » par les situations de l’après-violence, à travers une démarche fortement applicative puisqu’elle nous confrontera à la réalité de six terrains différents (Ex-Yougoslavie, Ouganda, Rwanda, Allemagne de l’Est, Afrique du Sud, Timor Oriental), nous invite à reformuler et à infléchir certaines de nos intuitions relatives à la justice politique libérale. La notion de « capabilités », entendue comme moyen d’autonomiser les victimes de la violence, nous permettra notamment de penser les modalités de la réintroduction d’une certaine finalité éthique que le libéralisme politique traditionnel avait évacuée. Confrontée en effet à des traumatismes et à des pathologies sociales de l’ampleur de celles que nous rencontrerons, il semble en effet que l’organisation politique et sociale ait besoin d’une conception un peu plus « épaisse », plus substantielle, de ce qui constitue la morale et l’humanité de l’homme – conception que le libéralisme strictement procédural de Rawls ne semble pas pouvoir nous fournir Within the contemporary debate on theories of justice, philosophers are increasingly debating the possibilities of applying these principles of justice to different situations from those envisioned by John Rawls, where “all other things are equal”. A new, unexplored, field of application is therefore emerging in the form of democratic transitions: what kind of justice should be applied in extreme situations to address “war of the gods” type of identity or "ethnic" conflicts, which were precisely those that liberalism was born to overcome? This “transitional justice”, as experts have already called it, includes retributive, restorative and economic aspects, and is often construed as forming a new general theory of justice. In this paper we would like to challenge this point of view and determine to what extent the “extreme case” of post-conflict societies forms a sort of empirical test for our intuitions with regard to political justice in general. Indeed, there appears to be a structural contradiction between the ends of transitional justice and the means used to achieve it. The very notion of transition implies a kind of teleology: we always transit “towards” something, and in the post-Cold War era in which transitional justice was born, the political horizon was always some form of liberal democracy. However, the means used by transitional justice often contradict this objective, with the use of tools and concepts that counter some of the fundamental principles of political liberalism. For instance, we might name the confusion between law and morality, the defense of positive freedom, a form of social holism, a “sentimentalization” of the public sphere, a therapeutic interpretation of rights, or a “thick”, substantial, conception of reconciliation - all of which seem to lead transitional justice more towards some form of political and moral perfectionism rather than to an entirely neutral and procedural form of liberalism. In this thesis therefore, we will attempt to understand to what extent the application of transitional justice to post-conflict societies (using a quasi-experimental methodology that will entail six different case studies: ex-Yugoslavia, Uganda, Rwanda, East Germany, South Africa and Timor Leste), could lead us to redefine and modify some of our strongest intuitions dealing with liberal political justice. The notion of capability, understood as a means of empowering victims of violence, will lead us to consider ways of reintroducing a certain ethical purpose to those “ends”, which political liberalism, in its traditional form, has abandoned. Faced with extreme forms of trauma and social pathologies, it seems that political and social organization needs a “thicker”, more substantial, conception of morality and of what constitutes mankind's humanity – one that Rawls’ strictly procedural liberalism cannot provide

Firstly, it is discoursed on the approaches of the new classics, Keynesians and the neo-classic synthesis about the public debt. It is presented, after that, the evolution of the privatizations, primary surplus, growth of the GDP, acknowledgment of debts and exchange depreciations. In the sequence, the result of each one of these factors is brought up to date by the IPCA until December of 2005 and by paid the average tax of interests on the public debt in each year. It is made a comparison of the interests paid on the public debt of Brazil with the interest rate Real practiced at the countries developed added of IPCA of Brazil resulting in a great difference, what is determined our public debt was remunerated with real interests same to the real interest rates of the developed countries would have paid of interests 68,55% than indeed we paid. It concludes that, in reason of the high average tax of interests for which the debt was remunerated in the period, the described factors above make influence more strongly than its results presented in current values. The main obstacle to the fall of the debt, in absolute terms, is the high taxes of interests for which it is remunerated Esta dissertação faz uma análise dos principais fatores causadores da variação da dívida pública brasileira entre 1995 e 2005. Primeiramente, discorre-se sobre os enfoques dos novos clássicos, keynesianos e da síntese neoclássica a respeito da dívida pública. Apresenta-se, em seguida, a evolução das privatizações, superávit primário, crescimento do PIB, reconhecimento de dívidas e desvalorizações cambiais. Na seqüência, o resultado de cada um desses fatores é atualizado até dezembro de 2005 pelo IPCA e pela taxa média de juros paga sobre a dívida pública em cada ano. Faz-se uma comparação dos juros pagos sobre a dívida pública do Brasil com a taxa de juros reais praticadas nos países desenvolvidos acrescidas do IPCA do Brasil, resultando numa grande diferença, o que determina se a nossa dívida pública fosse remunerada com juros reais igual às taxas de juros reais dos países desenvolvidos teríamos pago de juros 68,55% do que efetivamente pagamos. Conclui-se que em razão da alta taxa de juros média pela qual a dívida foi remunerada no período, os fatores descritos acima se revelaram mais fortemente do que os seus resultados apresentados em valores correntes. O principal obstáculo à sua queda da dívida, em termos absolutos, são as altas taxas de juros pelas quais é remunerada

It departs from the assumption of social life as a programmatic action of social service policy in order to assure social security. Drawn upon theory of recognition and theory of social bonds, this study seeks to point out how relationships may promote protection and acknowledgment, although it also may create humiliation, undervaluation, and subordination. Due to these situations are harsh to be coped with by the subjects who suffer them, this study defends the crucial role of the State and specifically the social service policy to act upon these relationships. This requires strengthening social service policy towards a democratic mode which respects the autonomy of the subjects in taking decisions and offers opportunities to living the experience of social life as social protection. In order to strengthen social service policy it is necessary the production of knowledge on situations of suffering to take them as demanding social work attention and to overcome conservative practices which devalues the subject and consequently constitutes an expression of segregation rather than protection O presente estudo se ocupou de investigar a convivência social, enquanto um processo sociorrelacional que contem possibilidade de ampliar a proteção social de sujeitos, famílias, grupos e segmentos populacionais, mais particularmente foi conduzido a partir da afirmativa da convivência social como ação programática da política de assistência social na garantia de uma segurança social. A partir da teoria do reconhecimento e da teoria dos vínculos, busca apontar como as relações podem produzir proteção e reconhecimento, mas também podem produzir humilhações, desqualificação e subalternização. Por se tratar de situações impossíveis de serem enfrentadas pelos sujeitos que as sofrem, defende o trabalho que a presença do Estado e mais especificamente da politica de assistência social para atuar nessas relações é imprescindível, o que requer um fortalecimento do trabalho social nesta política numa direção democrática que respeita a autonomia dos sujeitos na tomada de decisão e oferece oportunidades de viver a experiência de convívio social como proteção. Neste fortalecimento é necessário o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos sobre situações de sofrimento, para toma-las como demanda na atenção do trabalho e a superação de práticas conservadoras que ao desvalorizar o sujeito terminam por se constituir como expressão de segregação e não de proteçãonto.

The description of the standards, therefore, is compared to the market reality and the specifications pertaining to legal and managerial proceedings. In addition to contextualizing the applicable rules and explaining how they work, in special Technical Standard number 25, created by the Committee of Accounting Standards, which became mandatory for publicly-held corporations by CVM Decision number 594, as of September 15, 2009, their critical analysis is also performed, with the identification of any omissions that might make it difficult to perform the provision activities by the appropriate professionals, which leads to a lack of uniformity of these records in the company's financial statements, as well as making it possible to manage results. Next, solutions are assessed and proposed for the problems found, in special the adoption of percentage values for risk classification criteria and the definition of contingency value measurement and contingent liability mensuration criteria organized as standards of good practices of provision and disclosure of contingent liabilities arising from legal and managerial proceedings. O presente trabalho examina as normas brasileiras relativas ao provisionamento e à divulgação de passivos contingentes com vistas especificamente à sua aplicação para processos judiciais e administrativos, que representam o tipo de passivo contingente que mais impacta o resultado da maior parte das companhias nacionais, de todos os segmentos. O texto das normas, portanto, é confrontado com a realidade prática do mercado e as especificidades inerentes aos processos judiciais e administrativos. Além de contextualizar e explicar o funcionamento das regras aplicáveis, com destaque para o Pronunciamento Técnico nº. 25, do Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis, que se tornou obrigatório para as companhias abertas por meio da Deliberação CVM nº. 594, de 15 de setembro de 2009, é realizada sua análise crítica, identificando omissões que podem dificultar o desempenho das atividades de provisionamento de tais demandas pelos profissionais competentes, fomentando a falta de uniformidade desses registros entre as demonstrações financeiras das companhias, bem como possibilitando o gerenciamento de resultados. Em seguida, são avaliadas e propostas soluções para os problemas identificados, com destaque para o estabelecimento de valores percentuais aos critérios de classificação de risco e a definição de critérios para classificação de risco de perda e mensuração de valores de passivos contingentes, organizadas em forma de diretrizes de boas práticas de provisionamento e de divulgação de passivos contingentes decorrentes de processos judiciais e administrativos.

Abstract:

The research aims at investigating the relationship between urban and regional planning, policy analysis and design, and Sound Studies. It seeks to acknowledge the urban and regional issues through the raise of sonic awareness, thus discussing the epistemology of specific urban “problems” and proposing an alternative research tools. The analytical approach is preliminary to policy design and to the empowerment of vulnerable communities. Listening becomes then a research device through which it is possible to explore those problematic issues that go unnoticed by the institutions. The thesis is an invitation to read alternatively public policies, and to overcome the “problem solving” approach towards a sonic articulation of the “problem setting” approach. By investigating the sonic environment the research intends to show how knowledge is produced and used by policy makers. Thus sound and sonic environment turn to shape a new model of understanding full of potential although scarcely used by urban planning and policy design; therefore the sonic environment defines its deep political dimension. Within this framework the research will introduce and clarify the notion of soundscape, sonic environment, acoustic atmosphere, and will explore the set of cultural and political studies that are facing the perception, emotion and social behavior related to sound production and fruition. La ricerca si propone di indagare le possibili interazioni tra i campi della pianificazione territoriale, delle politiche pubbliche, e dei Sound Studies. L’obiettivo è esplicitare le connessioni tra ambiente sonoro e questioni urbane e territoriali attraverso la pratica dell’ascolto; tematizzare dunque le modalità di produzione di conoscenza per affrontare l’inquadramento di particolari “problemi” e l’elaborazione di possibili approcci alternativi di ricerca. Se l’attitudine è sicuramente progettuale, lo scopo dichiarato è analitico, propedeutico all’azione: al disegno di politiche come all’empowerment di comunità. L’ascolto assume quindi le caratteristiche di uno strumento di ricerca; se ne vogliono delineare le potenzialità, esplorare le tracce attraverso cui approcciare le questioni urbane e territoriali che pur “facendo problema” sembrano passare spesso “inosservate”, soprattutto su un piano istituzionale. Si è invitati a seguire un percorso inedito di lettura delle politiche pubbliche, che rimanda al superamento del problem solving e procede verso un’articolazione sonora del problem setting. Attraverso la lettura dell’ambiente sonoro si vuole infatti esplicitare i termini su cui si articola la produzione di conoscenza a supporto dell’azione; conoscenza che costituisce un aiuto essenziale per il processo decisionale, dunque per il disegno di politiche. Il suono, e l’ambiente acustico, intervengono come messaggeri di un modello interpretativo finora troppo poco praticato dalla pianificazione e dal policy design. Se il suono è il centro della ricerca, il suo potenziale evocativo e rappresentativo si esplicita e riverbera nella dimensione politica. Sono allora da introdurre e chiarire i cardini del discorso: definire il paesaggio sonoro, l’ambiente acustico, ed esplorare gli studi culturali che ne stanno decodificando i segnali, dunque il quadro percettivo consapevole e inconsapevole cui l’ascolto fa costantemente riferimento.

Abstract:

La construction identitaire du sujet relève du vaste champ sémantique de l'identité en général, et de l'identité personnelle en particulier. A l'heure de la modernité, c'est- à- dire de l'affirmation du sujet, le sens et la valeur du processus identitaire interrogent de manière transversale les sciences humaines et sociales. En littérature francophone, la construction identitaire du sujet romanesque africain, se complique des rémanences d'un environnement référentiel également en mutation socio- culturelle, A partir du corpus de quatre romans des auteurs gabonais Angèle Rawiri et, Jean Divassa Nyama, la présente étude s'intéresse au processus identitaire d'un sujet à la fois urbain et rural, qui en dépit de plusieurs stratégies développées, vérifie par son échec la thèse du « héros » problématique.Au regard des implications formelles, psycho- sociologiques et culturelles de notre objet d'étude, nous avons retenu une approche anthropologique, à savoir plurielle, pour mieux en cerner les nombreux contours.La première partie, descriptive, dresse le contexte socio- culturel auxquels s'alimentent les facteurs exogènes et endogènes de la crise identitaire du personnage. Celle – ci naît surtout du désir d'une nouvelle identification du personnage par rapport à soi et à son milieu, sous la pression d'une modernité exigeante. La diversité des situations du sujet débouche sur une stratégie d'affirmation identitaire multiforme, où dominent à la fois le goùt du pouvoir, le besoin de sécurité affective et l'enjeu culturel.Le deuxième axe voit le personnage- sujet lancer sa dynamique de quête, selon une configuration narrative et actantielle, articulée par une stratégie déterminante de modalités cognitives et pratiques.La dernière partie place le paradigme spatial au centre de la sémantique de la construction identitaire du sujet: cela débute par le cadre spatio- temporel africain en tant que structurant extérieur de l'aventure, auxquels s'ajoutent une intériorité et un imaginaire investis à la fois d'une valeur fonctionnelle et d'une forte symbolique. Enfin, l'importance accordé par le sujet au jeu relationnel sur son parcours identitaire contribue à notre sens à signifier l'importance de sa transformation intérieure. Il ressort en conséquence que l'émergence du sujet africain passe par l'enrichissement de son Être, à travers une vraie connaissance de soi et de ses valeurs culturelles, pour mieux exister au monde The identity shaping of the romantic subject owes to a large semantic field of identity in general, and of personal identity in particular. At the time of modernity, and more precisely, of the assertion of the subject, the sense and value of the identity process imply transversal clarification with the help of social and human sciences. As far as francophone African literature is concerned, the identity shaping of the romantic subject in the novel is facing the persistences of a referential environment which is submitted to sociocultural mutation.Applied to a corpus of four novels written by two gabonese authors, Angele Rawiri and Jean Divassa Nyama, the current study concerns the identity process of the romantic subject who is sharing rural as well as urban environment, and who, despite several strategies at stake, responds though his failure, to the concept of the problematic “hero”.Consequently, the emerging process of the African subject depends on the improvement of his being, through a real knowledge of himself and his cultural values. That is the best way for him to assert his existence in the world

Abstract:

4G LTE is a new cellular phone network standard to provide both the capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) needed to support multimedia applications. Recent research in LTE has explored modifications to the current QoS setup, creating MAC layer schedulers and modifying the current QoS architecture. However, what has not been fully explored are the effects of LTE retransmission choices and capabilities on QoS. This thesis examines the impact of using acknowledgments to recover lost data over the wireless interface on VoIP, FTP and MPEG video applications. Issues explored include interaction between application performance, network transport protocols, LTE acknowledgment mode, and wireless conditions. Simulations show that LTE retransmissions improve FTP throughput by 0.1 to 0.8 Mb/s. With delay sensitive applications, like VoIP and video, the benefits of retransmissions are dependent on the loss rate. When the wireless loss rate is less than 20%, VoIP has similar performance with and without LTE retransmissions. At higher loss rates the use of LTE retransmissions adds degrading the VoIP quality by 71%. With UDP video, the choice of retransmissions or not makes little change when the wireless loss rates are less than 10%. With higher wireless loss rates, the frame arrival delay increases by up to 539% with LTE retransmissions, but the frame rate of the video decreases by up to 34% without those retransmissions. LTE providers should configure their networks to use retransmission policies appro- priate for the type of application traffic. This thesis shows that VoIP, FTP and video require different configurations in the LTE network layers.

Abstract:

S'allier à autrui par des liens de confiance ou par le jeu d'obligations juridiques, pour faire face à l'incertitude et à la complexité, est l'affaire de l'homme depuis qu'il a besoin d'un autre pour sa survie et son mieux-être. La juridicisation des relations sociales a envahi plus récemment le monde de la santé, remettant en question le lien de confiance dans la relation de soin. Il semble nécessaire d'aller au-delà de ce présupposé opposant relation de confiance et relation contractuelle. Car le droit contraint notre liberté mais protège aussi le plus vulnérable et si la confiance oblige, elle engage de ce fait notre responsabilité.Phénomène pluridimensionnel particulièrement riche dans ses expressions et ses usages, la confiance permet l'engagement dans la relation, elle en est à la fois la cause, le moyen et l'effet. La relation de soin, où technicité et subjectivités se rencontrent, met en évidence une dynamique complexe de la confiance, entre nos attentes, nos contradictions et nos craintes. Aux moments charnières, encadrée par des textes récents, du parcours de soin: l'engagement dans la relation, l'information, la décision partagée, l'épreuve de l'obstination ou du refus, nous retrouvons la nécessité de la confiance entrecroisée à celle des droits du patient. Nous voyons s'inventer aujourd'hui, non sans déstabilisation, de nouvelles figures de la relation de soin.Au terme de cette double exploration émerge la question de la reconnaissance, celle des droits et celle de la personne dans le bouleversement de la maladie. Une reconnaissance mutuelle entre soigné et soignant qui se conjugue à une confiance réciproque comme fondement éthique de la relation de soin.

Abstract:

Cette thèse a pour thème la reconnaissance sociale de la différence au Brésil concernant la population noire. La problématisation de cette question est faite à partir de l’analyse des politiques publiques de régularisation foncière des territoires marrons et de la patrimonialisation de biens culturels relatifs à ce segment social, avec l’intention de comprendre la manière dont on fait la reconaissance de la différence noire à l’intérieur de ces processus sociaux ainsi que de réfléchir à la participation des anthropologues dans ces situations. De cette façon, nous cherchons à explorer les nuances de ce phénomène, les impacts qu’il produit sur les groupes qui sont ses objets et les réactions qu’il provoque dans la sphère publique. L’univers de recherche de ce travail est composé par les processus de reconnaissance territoriale de la communauté rémanente de marrons Famille Silva, à Porto Alegre, et de reconaissance culturelle du Cerro de Porongos, à Pinheiro Machado, deux villes de l’état du Rio Grande do Sul. L’analyse comparative de ces processus nous mène à croire que la culture est toujours le lieu par excellence réservé au thème de la population noire dans notre pays ; ceci est l’espace de la différence. Esta tese tem como tema o reconhecimento social da diferença no Brasil no que concerne à população negra. A problematização desta questão se dá a partir da análise de políticas públicas de regularização fundiária de territórios quilombolas e de patrimonialização de bens culturais relacionados a este segmento social, com o intuito de compreender como se dá o reconhecimento da diferença negra nesses processos sociais e refletir sobre a participação dos antropólogos nessas situações. Deste modo, procuramos explorar as nuances desse fenômeno, os impactos que ele produz sobre os grupos que são objetos dele e as reações que ele provoca na esfera pública. O universo de pesquisa deste trabalho é composto pelos processos de reconhecimento territorial da comunidade remanescente de quilombo Família Silva, em Porto Alegre, e de reconhecimento cultural do Cerro de Porongos, em Pinheiro Machado, ambos municípios do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A análise comparativa desses processos nos leva a acreditar que a cultura continua sendo o lugar por excelência reservado ao tema da população negra em nosso país; isto é o espaço da diferença. This work has as its subject the social acknowledgment of the difference in Brazil related to afro-descendent population. The problematization of such question is made from the analysis of the public policies of land regularization of quilombolas territories and the patrimonialization of cultural goods related to this social segment, aiming to understand how works the acknowledgment of afro-descendents difference in these social processes and to think about the participation of anthropologists in these situations. This way, we aim to explore the subtleties of this phenomenon, its impacts over the groups that are its objects and the reactions it causes on the public realm. The research universe in this work is composed by the territorial acknowledgment processes in the lasting community at quilombo Família Silva, in Porto Alegre, and the cultural acknowledgment of Cerro dos Porongos, in Pinheiro Machado, both counties at Rio Grande do Sul State. The comparative analysis of the processes leads us to believe that the culture is still the place par excellence reserved to the subject of afro-descendent population in our country, what means to say, the espace of difference.

Abstract:

Cette thèse cherche à comprendre et à analyser les fondements historiques, sociaux, culturels et genrés d’une méconnaissance et d’une sous-valorisation actuelles des costumiers et des costumières, en accordant un primat à leur parole propre. Traitant des origines théoriques de l’art costumier à partir de l’apparition de l’appellation professionnelle consacrée, la première partie retrace le parcours et les luttes multiples de Pierre-Nicolas Sarrazin, en cherchant à identifier les motifs de l’échec de la valorisation professionnelle entreprise par ce dernier au XVIIIe siècle. La deuxième partie présente, à partir de l’analyse d’un recueil d’entretiens de costumiers d’aujourd’hui, les notions de métiers de service et de rapport de commande, de genre et de « souci de l’autre » comme étant les caractéristiques de cette activité professionnelle, et autant de leviers potentiels d’oppression. Enfin, la troisième partie étudie la carrière de Dominique Fabrègue – spécialiste de la coupe en un morceau – en tant que « fabrique » d’une œuvre dont la portée est esthétique et critique, de manière à défendre l’idée que l’art costumier constitue un art à part entière, qui pour être second dans l’élaboration d’un spectacle, n’est pas pour autant secondaire This work aims at analyzing the historical, social, cultural and gender factors responsible for the current undermining of the costume designers and makers profession. The first part consists in a historical research onthe theoretical origins of the Art of Costume starting with the appearance of the professional vocable - Costumier - invented by Pierre-Nicolas Sarrazin, as well as a study of the means this latter used to promote his field of work during the 18th century and how he came to fail. The second part is an interview-collection (2013 to 2016) - based reflection on the order nature of the work, the gender characterization of the workers and « care » as a creative motivation. It demonstrates how these specifics are potential ways to oppress the costume designers and makers and to deny them the appreciation and salary they deserve. The third part is an a esthetic critique of Costume Designer Dominique Fabrègue’s career, and the « Cut in one piece » Artwork she specialized in. This section argues that the discipline of designing costumes is an Art in full, and as it may come second in the process of putting on a play, is not for all that secondary and shouldn’t be considered assuch

The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections. Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 69-72). This thesis studies the benefits of using opportunistic routing, implicit acknowledgments, and network coding on a linear broadcast packet network. Nodes are arranged in a line, and the first node wishes to communicate with the end node. When node i transmits, it is received at node j with a probability Pi,j . Several communication protocols are proposed and their performance studied using the mean and variance of the completion time as metrics. The protocols studied use end-to-end retransmission, end-to-end coding, and link-by-link retransmission with network coding both with and without opportunistic routing. Simulation and analytical results are presented. End-to-end coding significantly outperforms end-to-end retransmission on both metrics, and the link-by-link protocols outperform both. Opportunistic routing shows a mixed benefit over link-by-link protocols without it. When using opportunistic routing, the variance of the completion time is higher, and the mean is either similar or lower, depending on the channel conditions. When the loss probabilities are higher, opportunistic routing shows little benefit, whereas with a lower probability of packet loss, opportunistic routing shows a significant reduction in mean completion time.al Engineering and Computer Science. by Daniel Montgomery Whisman.

Abstract:

En quarante ans, la Bretagne a subi en moyenne un naufrage de pétrolier tous les cinq ans. A chaque marée noire, le dommage écologique génère des mobilisations massives, des controverses sur la scène publique et la remise en cause des dispositifs de régulation. Malgré son évidence sensible, ni le régime international d'indemnisation (FIPOL) ni le Droit national n'intègrent l'atteinte environnementale comme motif supplémentaire de responsabilité financière pour les opérateurs. Les dommages de la pollution sont pris en compte à travers, d'un côté, les préjudices économiques et matériels et, de l'autre, les dommages purs à la biodiversité, sous la forme d'actions de restauration des milieux naturels. Les critiques pointent la faiblesse de la dissuasion : les coûts d'une marée noire pour les acteurs du transport maritime pétrolier sont considérés dérisoires au vu des profits et donc peu incitatifs à des comportements plus prudents. Elles réclament également la reconnaissance des dommages écologiques par le Droit, qui ouvrirait la possibilité de conséquences juridiques et économiques concrètes aux faits de pollutions et l'indemnisation des atteintes à l'environnement.Cette recherche s'intéresse aux processus de changement vers la reconnaissance des dommages écologiques des marées noires. Il ne s'agit pas de questionner l'efficacité de la prise en compte des dégradations environnementales par le dispositif de gestion ou les voies juridiques susceptibles de soutenir son intégration dans le Droit - déjà largement explorées - mais d'étudier les réalités du dommage écologique et d'analyser les actions de changement mises en oeuvre par des acteurs pour susciter leur reconnaissance. Cette analyse est conduite à partir de deux cas d'étude, la marée noire de l'Amoco Cadiz (1978) et celle de l'Erika (1999).Nous explorons une voie alternative et élargie de compréhension des atteintes de la marée noire, en considérant que la marée noire endommage aussi des relations plurielles entre hommes et environnement. Grâce à la sociologie pragmatique développée par Thévenot dans L'action au pluriel (2006) nous montrons les réalités plurielles du dommage écologique en termes d'attachements d’hommes à des non humains, que ni la description des écologues, ni celle des attachements de type marchand ne parviennent à saisir. Par ailleurs, à partir d'une analyse stratégique de la gestion de l'environnement (Mermet et al., 2005), nous étudions la manière dont les acteurs élaborent l'action de changement et comment celle-ci porte le dommage écologique. Nous nous intéressons tout particulièrement à la manière dont les enjeux de l'action induisent certains choix de qualification du dommage au tribunal.La recherche propose ainsi de nouvelles connaissances sur le dommage écologique, qui pourraient en renouveler la définition (intérêt théorique). Questionner les atteintes aux attachements pourrait également ouvrir une voie intéressante pour soutenir de nouvelles formes de justification sur la scène publique et favoriser la reconnaissance juridique des dommages écologiques (intérêt opérationnel). Enfin, elle articule deux cadres de pensée jusque-là disjoints en sciences humaines et qui se révèlent complémentaires. En donnant à voir les réalités plurielles, individuelles et collectives, des dynamiques environnementales, cette recherche propose d'enrichir la compréhension de la mise en oeuvre d'une action de changement au-delà des analyses de l'action collective (Cefaï, 2007) Over the last forty years, an oil tanker has sunk off the Brittany coast of France every five years on average. Each time, the ecological damage from the oil slick has mobilised huge numbers of people to volunteer and demonstrate, and generated public controversy and criticism of regulatory procedures. Although oil spills provoke evident impacts, neither the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC Funds) nor French Law recognise environmental detriment as a motif for financial compensation by the operators. The damages and pollution are taken into account firstly as economic and material losses, and secondly in terms of damage to biodiversity requiring habitat restoration actions. Critics highlight the feeble deterrent and the lack of incentive for maritime oil transporters to reduce risks: in relation to their profits the costs of an oil slick to them is regarded as derisory. These critics also call for recognition of ecological damages by the law. This would allow environmental pollution to incur economic and juridical responsibilities, and for environmental harm to require compensation.This research project looks at change processes leading to the recognition of ecological damage from oil slicks. We do not add to the existing substantial debate over the efficiency or interest of integrating environmental concerns into conduct rules and the legal system, nor evaluate different methods for doing do. Instead we study the realities of ecological damage, and analyse actions for change implemented by different actors to provoke their recognition. This analysis is based on two case studies: the oil slicks from the Amoco Cadiz (1978) and the Erika (1999).We explore an alternative and wider approach to understanding the harm caused by an oil slick, by considering that it damages multiple relationships between man and the environment. Using the concept of pragmatic sociology (Thévenot, “L’action au pluriel”, 2006) we reveal the multiple realities of ecological damage in terms of the relations between humans and nonhumans. These relations cannot be described in purely commercial nor ecological terms. Using a strategic analysis of environmental management (Mermet et al., 2005), we study how actors elaborate an action for change and how the action represents environmental damage. We look particularly at how the challenge of the action leads to certain choices when qualifying the damage to the courts.Thus, the study proposes new information on ecological damage, allowing the definition to be renewed (theoretical interest). By examining ecological damage in terms of harm to human – nonhuman relations, it provides an interesting support for new forms of justification in the public arena, and promotes legal recognition of ecological damage (operational interest). Finally, the study brings together, and shows to be complementary, two conceptual frameworks hereto unarticulated in human sciences. The study reveals the multiple individual and collective realities of environmental dynamics, and thus allows a richer understanding of the implementation of an action for change than a standard analysis of collective action (Cefai, 2007)

Abstract:

L’évolution des réseaux sans fil et leur utilisation massive soulève de plus en plus de défis. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les environnements denses pour lesquels la performance par utilisateur est un problème clé. Le standard IEEE 802.11ax a été lancé dans ce contexte, afin d’améliorer les protocoles des couches PHY(Physical) et MAC (Medium Access Control) en maintenant la rétrocompatibilité avec les standards précédents. Les travaux de cette thèse rejoignent les mêmes perspectives que le IEEE 802.11ax, à savoir l’amélioration des protocoles existants ou l’introduction de nouvelles techniques. Dans cette perspective, trois contributions principales sont proposées : premièrement, une analyse approfondie de la norme IEEE 802.11 a été élaborée, depuis sa première version en 1999 jusqu’au dernier amendement, le IEEE 802.11ax, en cours de finalisation. Deuxièmement, nous exposons une amélioration de la couche PHY à travers une nouvelle méthode d’allocation de ressources pour l’OFDMA (OFDMA pour Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) en mode accès aléatoire. Troisièmement, nous avons développé une évolution de la couche MAC avec un mode de négociation adaptatif pour la session d’acquittement par bloc (AN-BA) The high growth of wireless applications brings greater challenges to wireless technologies and calls for more improvements and better efficiency. This is particularly true for dense environments for which per user performance is a key issue. IEEE 802.11ax amendment was launched in that context, to improve the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer protocols of Wi-Fi networks in dense environments while maintaining backward compatibility with previous standards.The works of this thesis join the same perspectives as the IEEE 802.11ax, namely the improvement of existing protocols or the proposal of new ones. To that aim, three main contributions are proposed: first, we provide a deep analysis of the IEEE 802.11 norm, from its first version in 1999 to the ongoing IEEE 802.11ax amendment. Second, we expose a PHY layer improvement with a new method for the resource allocation in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) in random access mode. Third, we develop a MAC layer evolution with an adaptive negotiation mode for the block acknowledgement session (AN-BA)

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to compare and contrast the ways in which native speakers of Turkish (NST) and native speakers of American English (NSAE) write the acknowledgment sections of their MA and PhD dissertations. The analysis in the study focuses on the pragmatic and discourse strategies used by the authors in the texts written in English. First, the study uncovers the organization of the dissertation acknowledgments and the thanking strategies employed in the acknowledgment sections written in English by native speakers of Turkish and American English in their MA and PhD dissertations. Then, the authors&rsquo choices of expressions of gratitude for specific addressees (e.g., supervisors vs. friends) are discussed. Data examined in the study comprise 144 dissertations written by 72 NST and 72 NSAE and are collected from sources such as the National Theses Centre of The Council of Higher Education of Turkey, ProQuest dissertation services. The thesis aims to contribute to the areas of foreign language education, pragmatics and cross-cultural communication.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine how documents used in new teacher induction and mentoring programs from five different school districts reflect and acknowledge the complexity of the programs of which they are a part. Extensive research has been conducted regarding various aspects of these two programs, often utilizing linear approaches to these programs. Research has called for analysis of the complexity of these programs. New teacher induction and mentoring documents were collected from each of the five districts, resulting in approximately 76 documents total. Documents were categorized into three main groups: mentor documents, mentee documents, and district documents. Each document was read and analyzed through two phases of data analysis. Phase I of analysis reports on the language contained in the documents related to seven emergent categories. Phase II of analysis connects the language of the documents of the seven emergent categories to the eight indicators of complexity as outlined by Davie and Sumara (2006). Two appendices contain the details of analysis, one appendix for each phase. Findings suggest that most documents contained elements reflecting and acknowledging the complexity of the two programs as well as elements of linear thinking. Lack of reflection of complexity is addressed. Suggestions for further research are given.

Abstract:

Dans le milieu professionnel artisanal et semi-industriel, la conception des objets techniques dans et pour les pays en développement d'Afrique de l'Ouest et notamment au Burkina Faso constitue un enjeu majeur. Cependant dans leur grande majorité, les technologies introduites n'ont pas répondu aux attentes des populations cibles. De nombreux échecs jalonnent l'histoire récente de ces tentatives. La problématique de cette impasse technologique est le plus souvent posée par les concepteurs et les développeurs en termes d'élaboration d'une méthode spécifique de conception destinée à ces pays en développement. Cette thèse attire plutôt l'attention sur le fait que la conception d'artefacts techniques dans cette région du monde ne peut faire l'économie d'une réflexion critique sur les modalités de mise en œuvre des processus de conception. Il ne s'agit plus uniquement d'aider à la conception de systèmes techniques par l'élaboration d'une méthode adaptée de conception mais d'aller au-delà, dans la mesure du possible, pour étendre le champ de connaissance et analyser l'ensemble des acteurs des réseaux sociotechniques impliqués, pour in fine, aider à la conception d'un nouveau système technique qui prenne en compte, dès l'amont, des questions comme celles des conditions de la collaboration, de la construction de la confiance et de la reconnaissance des concepteurs.

Abstract:

Através do trabalho de campo e de análise bibliográfica e documental durante os anos de 2010 a 2014, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender a produção das categorias travesti, transexual, trans e transgênero a partir das relações entre saberes e ativismos. Tomei como fio condutor os debates em torno das regulações das transformações corporais do sexo, argumentando que estas discussões são uma importante porta de entrada para o entendimento das relações entre movimentos sociais e especialistas, assim como da circulação transnacional e possíveis particularidades construídas acerca dessas categorias no Brasil. Na análise dos especialistas apresentei tensões entre os saberes biomédicos e os saberes sociais. Argumentei como os especialistas constroem suas versões de sujeito que orientam sua prática profissional a partir métodos e teorias diferentes, produzindo efeitos políticos e relações entre noções de (des)patologização, autonomia e sofrimento. Na análise dos ativistas apresentei como o uso do termo trans é polissêmico, sobretudo se pensarmos suas possíveis articulações com as categorias de travesti, transexual, homens, mulheres e pessoas. Discuti o surgimento de um culturalismo travesti como uma forma de politizar certa noção de cultura como núcleo da identidade travesti. Este culturalismo travesti produz a possibilidade de se constituir uma identidade com orgulho, conjuntamente com noções de nação brasileira, constituindo-se como uma contraposição e interlocução ao que chamei de transglobalização, um processo de espraiamento global das categorias transexual, trans e transgênero. Based on fieldwork and bibliographical and documentary analysis during the years of 2010 to 2014, this research aims to comprehend the production of travesti, transsexual, trans and transgender categories throughout the relations between acknowledgments and activisms. I took the debates around the regulation of body sex changes as a conductor thread, arguing that these discussions are an important entrance door for the understanding of the relations between social movement and specialists, as well as the transnational movement and possible particularities built around these categories in Brazil. About the specialists analysis, I presented tensions between the biomedical and social acknowledgments. I argued about how the specialists build their own versions of subject that guide their professional practice on different methods and theories, producing political effects and relations between notions of (de)pathologization, autonomy and suffering. About the activists analysis, I presented how polissemic the use of the trans term is, mostly if we think its possible articulations with the categories of travesti, transsexual, women and people. I discussed the appereance of a travesti culturalism as a way to politicize a certain notions of culture as the center of travesti identity. This travesti culturalism produces a possibility to constitute an identity with pride, together with the notions of brazilian nation, constituting itself as a contraposition and interlocution to what I called transglobalisation, a global spreading process of the transsexual, trans and transgender categories.

Abstract:

碩士 東吳大學 法律學系 103 The thesis is mainly focus on comparison of the compulsory acknowledgement system before and after legislation amendment during 2007, especially on the key points and the relative problems after law amendment. Recently the improvement of the legal status over those illegitimate children has become a major subject of legislation in the world due to concentration on the rights of minor children. And the legal rules of the Compulsory Acknowledgement System has also become the key point of the legislation amendment. First of all, we discuss the development of the legal status among the illegitimate children, especially in France, Germany and Japan to realize their legislative evolutions on compulsory acknowledgement system, and compare that in our government to achieve the basic research on the topic. Second, we introduce the compulsory acknowledgement system before legislation amendment and the relative disadvantages, and focus on the four key points of the legislation amendment in 2007, including delete the lists of the reasons for compulsory acknowledgement , the limitation of the demanding time, and the rules about raising a plea for betrayal. Also in the amendment of Part Ⅳ of civil law in 2007,the legislator enact Article 1067Ⅱ, which enable the illegitimate children to file a claim against the father’s successors to get the legal status after the father’s death. Furthermore, we will discuss about the relative problems about the legislation amendment, such as the compulsory claim of the unborn child, the waiver of the claim, the relative influences on the jus acquisitum of the third parties, the compulsory claim to the living father by the illegitimate child after their death, the statute of limitation for claim after death, and so on. All the above problems may be considered to stipulate explicitly in the next legislation amendment. Finally, we will focus on property changes of the compulsory claim procedures before and after legislation amendment in 2007, and its stipulated explicitly due to the Taiwan Law of Domestic Violence Prevention Act. Also we will discuss the rules of the compulsory claim proceeding parties in both substantive and proceeding laws especially about the comparisons of the proceedings in both Civil procedure code and the Taiwan Law of Domestic. We should notice that there are variations over the proceeding rules about the parties in both substantive and proceeding rules, which may be suggested to be consistent in further legislation amendment in order for practical applications.

Full text

Abstract:

Ludwig Wittgenstein's later-period work is concerned with developing a new direction for philosophy as conceptual and linguistic analysis. This philosophical practice depends for its success on changes in the individual will of the philosopher who is pursuing philosophical questions. These changes primarily involve recognition of the extent to which certain pictures or conceptions shape our norms of description by way of the descriptive metaphors and analogies that become embedded in our language. This acknowledgment of the degree to which these pictures guide our philosophical conceptualizations takes the form of beginning to see the phenomena and practical actions of everyday life through finer linguistic and contextual differentiations. This seeing requires a reorientation of something like one's intellectual sensibilities and ethical expectations concerning what one is likely to accomplish when pursuing philosophical questions. In line with this reorientation, Wittgenstein's end in view for philosophical knowledge becomes acknowledgment of the parameters and limits of intelligible language and intelligible thought.

Abstract:

This study claims that formally experimental novels written in the early twentieth century place urgent, if often implicit, demands for acknowledgment upon their readers. Scholars have long held that the economic and cultural upheavals of the early twentieth century led novelists to doubt language’s referential capacities. But, even as signal modernist works by E.M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, and others move away from a view of language as a means of gaining knowledge, they also underscore its capacity to grant acknowledgment; they treat words as tools for recognizing and responding to the inner lives of others. Stanley Cavell finds such a vision of language in Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations (1953), a work Cavell describes as “modernist.” This dissertation demonstrates that Wittgenstein’s interest in acknowledgment emerges via his negotiation of the same historical forces with which literary modernism grapples: industrialization, World War, cross-cultural encounter. I argue that modernist representations of consciousness offer readers a way of hearing what Wittgenstein calls “the silent soliloquy of others,” giving us words by which we might adopt an attitude of acknowledgment toward the otherwise unvoiced inner lives of socially marginalized figures. Chapter One considers the crisis of reason that convulses early twentieth-century Britain and demonstrates how Forster’s Howards End (1910) and Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) critique excessive commitments to rationality as counterproductive to the acknowledgment of politically disenfranchised citizens. Chapter Two discusses Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier (1915), Woolf’s To the Lighthouse (1927), and Nella Larsen’s Passing (1929): three texts that, I show, cast traditional Victorian marriage as an unsatisfying form of intimacy and depict speakers hesitant to acknowledge their desires for alternative, same-sex modes of intimate relation. Chapter Three examines Faulkner’s portrayal of capitalist modernization in The Sound and the Fury (1929) and As I Lay Dying (1930), arguing that characters in these novels insist on the immitigable privacy of their experiences and struggle accordingly to gain acknowledgment from family members. Chapter Four reads Richard Wright’s Black Boy (1945) and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952) as two texts that represent the psychological experience of having one’s humanity go brutally unacknowledged under Jim Crow. 2020-11-07T00:00:00Z

Judgment by acknowledgment on the basis of fiction Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the judgment by acknowledgment. It is an institute of civil procedural law. The judgment by acknowledgment can be issued on the basis of the express content of the defendant or applicatioan of the legal fiction of the acknowledgment. This paper deals with both types of judgment of acknowledgment but the main part is devoted to the fiction of acknowledgment. The thesis is divided into six chapters. Chapter One describes the history of the judgment by acknowledgment on Czech territory. Chapter Two deals with the issuance of a qualified call for expression and the requirements that are put on the expression of the defendant. Chapter Three analyzes legal conditions for issuing a judgment of acknowledgment based on both the express content of the defendant and the fiction of acknowledgement. In this chapter are also described the remedies that can be applied against it. Chapter Four is dedicated to the judgment of the Constitutional Court, which ruled on the constitutionality of the qualified call and the judgment of acknowledgment based on fiction. The majority of judges were in favor of preserving the contested provisions. In the justification and also in the statements of dissenting judges were confronted the...

Abstract:

abstract: This project will attempt to supplement the current registry of lesbian inquiry in literature by exploring a very specific topos important to the Modern era: woman and her intellect. Under this umbrella, the project will perform two tasks: First, it will argue that the Modern turn that accentuates what I call negative valence mimesis is a moment of change that enables the general public to perceive lesbianism in representations of women that before, perhaps, remained unacknowledged. And, second, that the intersection of thought and resistance to heteronormative structures, such as heterosexual desire/sex, childbirth, marriage, religion, feminine performance, generate topoi of lesbianism that lesbian studies should continuously critique in order to index the myriad and creative ways through which fictional representations of women have evaded their proper roles in society. The two tasks above will be performed amidst the backdrop of a crucial moment in history in which lesbianism jumped from fiction to fact through the publication and obscenity trial of Radclyffe Hall's novel, The Well of Loneliness. Deconstructive feminist and queer inquiry of under-researched novels by women from the UK and the US written within the decade surrounding the trial reveals the possibilities of lesbianism in novels where the protagonists' investment in heteronormativity has remained unquestioned. In those texts where the protagonists have been questioned, the analysis of lesbianism will be delved into more deeply in order to illustrate new ways of reading these texts. I will focus on women writers who, as Terry Castle suggests, "both usurped and deepened the [lesbian] genre" with the arrival of the new century (Literature 29). It is my attempt to combat heteronormativity through a more positive approach. As Michael Warner asserts, "heteronormativity can be overcome only by actively imagining a necessarily and desirably queer world" (xvi). This is not to say this study will be all roses and no thorns; a desirably queer world is not about a wish for an utopia. For this project, it is about rigorously engaging in the lesbianism of literature while acknowledging how a lesbian reading, a reading for lesbianism, can continue to both expand and enrich the critical tradition of a text and the customary interpretation of various characters.

Abstract:

碩士 南臺科技大學 行銷與流通管理系 107 As the population structure of every country has begun to turn into the aging generation, and the global environmental deterioration trend has made the people to create new research breakthroughs to fight against various kinds of diseases. Therefore, the biotechnology and the medical industry have become flourished. Due to the growth of supply and demand in the market, the generic pharmaceutical companies in various countries have been increasing the requirement of raw materials significantly. In particular , the governments of various countries actively encourage the domestic generic pharmaceutical companies to increase penetration to reduce medical expenses, so that the generic pharmaceutical companies will not be limited to patent raw materials and have more flexible to choose the raw materials they need. When the generic pharmaceutical companies enter the market and compete continuously, the choice of purchasing raw materials increases and the purchase behavior pattern will be changed. The brands of the raw material that the traders supply for the generic pharmaceutical companies have changed from singularity to variety. Consequently, to the generic pharmaceutical companies, the knowledge of the raw material products and the cognition of raw material brands are becoming more important than before. The brand image of the raw material traders will also be considered as an indicator of evaluation, and the purchase intention of customers would also be affected. This study mainly focuses on " The influences of Customer Product Knowledge、Brand acknowledgment and Brand Image with respect to Pharmaceutical raw material purchasing propensity " to study its relationship and explore the elements of formation of product knowledge, brand awareness, brand image, and purchase intention, providing company with the proposal to formulate relevant sales strategies, so that the company can enhance its competitiveness in the raw material sales market through this research, and also meet customers’ demand for quality and price, thereby enhance the company's profit for sustainable operation. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect and analyze the verification data, 330 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed by SPSS 24 statistical software in total. The empirical results of this study are as follows: product knowledge will significantly affect brand image, brand cognition and purchase intention with direct proportion. Brand image will notably influence the purchase intention and brand cognition with direct ratio. Brand cognition will affect the purchase intention and have a remarkable positive relationship.

Abstract:

The nature of discrimination has been changing - over the past few decades – loosing its usual overt shapes (see Gaertner & Dovidio, 1986; McConahay, 1983; Swim, Aikin, Hall, & Hunter, 1995). According to Deitch et al. (2003), negative attitudes and discrimination are still persistent occurrences for members of stigmatized groups, even though they have turned into more subtle and interpersonal expressions (Frazer & Wiersma, 2001; Hebl, Foster, Mannix, & Dovidio, 2002; Hebl, King, Glick, Singletary, & Kazama, 2007; Heilman, Martell, & Simon, 1988). Thus, it is important to examine strategies that might reduce or avoid the display of such biases, because the effects of discrimination (e.g., formal, interpersonal) influence both persons who belong to stigmatized groups (e.g., lower self-esteem, avoidance of frustrating interactions, isolation, distress, depression) and non-stigmatized individuals (e.g., difficulties in interactions, frustration, tension). The goal of the present research was to understand normal-hearing listeners’ emotional responses to the speech of hearing impaired individuals, and examine the extent to which these stigmatized persons themselves are able to reduce negative emotions felt by able people while listening to them, by acknowledging their disability and showing an accepting, positive outlook with respect to their impairment and the personal and social difficulties that they have to face in they everyday life. Hearing impaired individuals, unlike individuals who are deaf, do receive limited auditory feedback. Because they are limited in their ability to hear—even when they use hearing aids or cochlear implants—they develop a unique style of oral communication, which is different from that of either normal-hearing or deaf individuals’ (Gérard et al., 2010). The speech style of the hearing impaired may lead to problems in communication, such as non-normative style of speaking, difficulty in understanding other people and in being understood (Mackenzie & Smith, 2009). As a result, they face social and personal challenges that can affect their psychological well-being as well as social life, which are distinct from the challenges faced by deaf individuals. It is important to note that we do not believe that stigmatized persons should be only responsible for thwart the discrimination they experience in their everyday life; instead, social policies should also take such responsibility. As such, they may benefit interpersonally and socially from engaging in compensatory strategies (see Branscombe, Schmitt, & Harvey, 1999; Kessler, Mickelson, & Williams, 1999). Our research represents an important contribution to the study of the intergroup bias which involves hearing impaired individuals as part of the normal-hearing community, that is a largely under researched field in Social Psychology. Moreover, it is the first time – to our knowledge – that a research focuses specifically on the study of the emotional reactions evoked by the speech of individuals with a partial hearing loss: this is a sensorial disability, which is deeply different – in terms of ability to hear, language development, communication difficulties, group identity, and social inclusion issues – from deafness. Finally, along with the clear importance of using specific compensatory strategies in order to reduce negative responses in normal hearing persons, findings of this study spread a light on the fact that more research is needed in this field. Thus, future investigations might inform interventions aimed to reduce tension and facilitate positive interactions between normal hearing persons and hearing impaired individuals, since an inclusive culture is more likely to develop when discrimination, in all of its forms, ceases to exist (Human Rights Campaign Foundation, 2004).

The topic of this thesis is the Preparation of Dispute Proceedings. I am convinced, that particularly this part of proceedings is truly important, because everything else depends on it. If the proceedings is not perfectly prepared, subsequent proceedings is endangered with a risk of delay. Although, the preparation of the proceedings is fully in the hands of the judge, it must be taken seriously by all parties involved. After all, the proceedings may end at this stage, based on passivity of the parties, e.g. by judgment of acknowledgment. The ultimate instrument in preparation of proceedings is qualified summon, which I have paid the most attention to in terms of number of pages. However, all instruments entrusted to judge are mentioned in this thesis and evaluated in terms of their effectiveness. The thesis is divided into four chapters, introduction and conclusion not included. The first chapter focus on the key words definition and defining starting points of the work. Each of the following chapter is then devoted to one stage of the preparation of proceedings.

And, the grammar confirms what role playing of Chinese and Japanese in acknowledgment, and acknowledgment and to reach, the indispensable one is confirmed. Whether is it suitable that the following globalize the sign the principle of Indo-European grammar seen from Chinese and Japanese characteristic or not? This thesis consists of Chapter 5. Chapter 1 is an introduction, and the research motive and the research method of this thesis are described. Chapter 2 inspects a Chinese part of speech and the structure by defining linguistics. Whether is the acknowledgment of Chinese suitable for the process which is “part of speech→structure→cognition”and or not? In addition, it searches for the role of the grammar on the Chinese acknowledgment. First of all, Chapter 3 confirms a Japanese part of speech and the structure.then, it searches for the role of the grammar on the Japanese acknowledgment. And, it is suitable for the process which is “part of speech→structure→cognition”confirmed through a Japanese common use word and the polysemy. Whether is the phenomenon to make the principle of the sign of Indo-European grammar globalize suitable in Chapter 4 because of the result in Chapter Chapter 2 and 3 or not? Chapter 5 is a conclusion. The content of this thesis is brought together, and research results are submitted. It sends in it and the comment is sent to Japanese-language education.

Abstract:

The drama of Senkatana by S.M. Mofokeng is analysed by applying principles provided by speech act theory, using as basis the explication of the theory by Bach and Harnish (1979). The socio-cultural context in the play has as its starting point the realm of myth and legend. From here all categories of relationships within the protagonist/antagonist encounter unfold, as do opposing sets of contextual beliefs characters rely on; these are primarily responsible for the growing conflict in the drama. Enhancing the mythical character of the play is the absorbing role played by the diboni, acting as seers, as prophets and as additional 'authorial voice'. Their and those of other characters' speech acts reflect this and more; they operate in a substantiated sign-system which provides a framework for evaluating each semiotic act from locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary dimensions of meaning. Chapter 1 comprises a historical survey of studies on speech act theory, and includes a brief summary of the position of the theory in the field of semiotics. The micro speech act analysis of the play is facilitated by the division of the text into smaller action units (summarised in Addendum 1). Chapter 2, containing the greater part of the exposition, commences the narration of the folktale and offers a clear rendering of the epic rise of the hero. Chapter 3 portrays the rise and progress of the antagonists challenging the hero, coupled with intensifying anxiety among the protagonists. Chapter 4 provides a vivid overview of how the values of the hero triumph over those of the antagonist despite the physical slaying of the hero. Chapter 5 offers a graphic outline of how the macro speech act is accomplished in the play. It is shown how an investigation of the speech act profiles of characters, coupled with the evaluation of illocutionary tactics and illocutionary/perlocutionary dynamics, communicates significant information pertaining to characterisation. A graph illustrating the rise and fall of micro speech acts within the larger macro speech act is provided in Addendum 2. Suggestions are made regarding future research in literary texts.

Abstract:

Dissertação de mestrado em Ciências da Comunicação (área de especialização em Publicidade e Relações Públicas) O actual consumidor, mais consciente e informado, espera que as organizações actuem de forma responsável junto da sociedade e do ambiente, investindo na sua dimensão social e não exclusivamente na sua dimensão económica. A Responsabilidade Social é, portanto, cada vez mais, um factor de vantagem competitiva de umas empresas em relação a outras, visto que esta actuação poderá influenciar as escolhas do consumidor. Desta forma, as organizações que pretendem conquistar novos consumidores (e, posteriormente, fidelizá-los) devem investir na criação de uma imagem socialmente responsável. Para tal, é aconselhável a adopção de uma estratégia de comunicação integrada que procura uniformizar as mensagens transmitidas (premeditadas ou não), de forma a permitir uma aproximação entre a imagem pretendida pela organização e a sua imagem percebida. Assim como a cultura é uma mensagem, a motivação dos próprios colaboradores e o sucesso das acções de Responsabilidade Social desenvolvidas pela empresa também o são. Posto isto, pretendemos, com esta investigação, responder à seguinte pergunta de partida: “Será que a motivação dos colaboradores da Bosch Car Multimedia Portugal Lda influencia o sucesso das acções socialmente responsáveis promovidas pela empresa?”. Para alcançar este objectivo, procederemos a uma observação directa da organização e da participação da população da Bosch Car Multimedia Portugal Lda nas acções de Responsabilidade Social. Partimos ainda do pressuposto de que os colaboradores motivados apresentam um maior empenho no trabalho e têm uma maior pré-disposição para participar em acções desenvolvidas pela empresa, o que contribuirá para o sucesso destas acções. Sugeriremos o reconhecimento como uma ferramenta para a motivação dos colaboradores, pois se utilizado de forma estratégica o reconhecimento pode suprir as necessidades de auto-realização dos indivíduos e gerar a sua motivação. Nowadays, consumers are more conscious and more informed, and they expect that the organizations act responsibly towards the society and the environment, investing not only in its economic dimension, but also in its social dimension. This means that Social Responsibility can be, more and more, competitive advantage from some organizations over its competitors, since their actions can influence the consumers’ choices. As organizations are always trying to gain new consumers (and later gain their loyalty), they should invest in the creation of a socially responsible image. To achieve that goal, it is advisable to adopt an strategy of integrated communication, which seeks to homogenize the messages conveyed (intentionally or not) and allows a proximity between the image the organization wants to create and the image perceived by the consumers. Just as culture is a message, the motivation of the employees themselves and the success of the actions of Social Responsibility developed by the company are as well. With this investigation we intend to answer the following question: "Does the motivation of employees of Bosch Car Multimedia Portugal Lda influence the success of the socially responsible actions promoted by the company?". To achieve this goal, we shall proceed to a direct observation of the organization and participation of the Bosch Car Multimedia Portugal Lda’s population in the activities related to Social Responsibility. We assume that the motivated employees show a greater commitment at work and have a greater predisposition to participate in activities developed by the company, which will contribute to the success of these activities. We also suggest recognition as a tool for motivating employees. When used strategically, the recognition can meet the needs of self-realization and generate motivation.

Abstract:

This PhD dissertation presents a textual analysis of 40 US PhD dissertation acknowledgment sections (PhDASs), defined as macro speech acts of thanking consisting of multiple and variously realized component functional units. Chapter 1 outlines the objectives of the research and identifies its relevant theoretical background; it also points out the contribution that the study offers to linguistics, describes the corpus to be analyzed, and presents a synopsis of the following chapters. Chapter 2 defines PhDASs from both a functional and a formal point of view, specifies what recurrent themes make up their subject matter, explains the reasons for their communicative complexity, indicates what properties qualify them as a genre, and characterizes their typical context of situation. Chapter 3 focuses on the speech act nature of PhDASs. It discusses the comparability between speech acts and genre exemplars; it offers a motivated description of PhDASs as elaborate acts of thanking; it reviews relevant literature on the speech act of thanking and acknowledgment sections; it shows what components and features of acts of thanking are also relevant to PhDASs; and it outlines the method of analysis applied to the corpus. Chapter 4 examines the corpus from both a macro and a micro perspective. It explores the global structure and characteristics of the PhDASs and the specific wording of the most salient notions and of the acknowledgment moves occurring in them. It includes a qualitative analysis of selected texts and text excerpts, which reveals the variety of lexico-grammatical patterns available for the encoding of written acknowledgments and also shows the partly ambiguous nature of given textual phenomena. It also comprises a quantitative summary of the encoding patterns identified in the corpus (i.e. the strategies for the expression of acknowledgments and the structural arrangement of the PhDASs), whose occurrence is accounted for with reference to the relevant context of situation. Chapter 5 derives the conclusion from the findings of Chapter 4 and evaluates the study as a whole. It points out the main problems encountered in analyzing the texts, it signals the limitations of the study, and offers suggestions for further research on PhDASs.
