Wari Influence in the Inca Empire and PilgrimagesCusi Yupanqui’s victory over the Chancas, which was possibly responsible for the destruction of the Wari state, might be related to his adoption of a new name, Pachacutec. The latter appears in the ruler list provided by Montesinos. On the other hand, the pan-Andean cult related to Pachacamac, which originated in the Middle Horizon, survived in Inca times and is still present in modern syncretisms.La victoria de Cusi Yupanqui sobre los chancas, posibles destructores del Estado wari, podría entenderse como una venganza tardía, relacionada con la adopción de su nuevo nombre de Pachacutec que aparece también en la lista de gobernantes preincas de Montesinos. Por otro lado, el culto panandino de Pachacamac del Horizonte Medio subsiste en tiempos incaicos y se mantiene en sincretismos actuales.

Full textAbstract:
Estudia diferentes casos de polisemia somática evidenciados en el quechua Ayacucho-Chanca; particularmente, aquellos casos vinculados a los lexemas somáticos presentes en la división topográfica superior de la anatomía humana del quechuahablante (uma ‘cabeza’, uya ‘cara’, ñawi ‘ojo’, rinri ‘oreja’, sinqa ‘nariz’, simi ‘boca’, qallu ‘lengua’ y kunka ‘cuello’). El problema con esta realidad lingüística particular reside en que los diversos lexemas somáticos –inscritos en la referida división topográfica– evidencian un comportamiento semántico complejo que trasciende la naturaleza del significado lingüístico convencional, configuran un universo conceptual único en la lengua y cultura quechua, y generan una serie de conceptos diversos fuera del ámbito conceptual anatómico, como los referidos al dominio conceptual de las capacidades cognitivas, el espacio, la conducta humana, los sentimientos, las actitudes, entre otros. Determina qué tan polisémicos son los referidos lexemas y dilucida los razonamientos que han llevado al quechuahablante a asociar diferentes conceptos a determinadas formas lingüísticas ya establecidas. De acuerdo a la lingüística cognitiva, se sostiene (i) que los somatismos en la lengua y cultura quechua son también elementos lingüísticos fuertemente polisémicos; y (ii) que entre nuevos conceptos y formas lingüísticas preestablecidas median una serie diversa de procedimientos cognitivos, tales como la metonimia, la metáfora, interacción entre metáforas y metonimias, perfilamiento, semejanza perceptual y ajuste escalar, entre otros, que han permitido, finalmente, constituir complejos grupos de redes semánticas polisémicas. Busca esclarecer la naturaleza del comportamiento polisémico, e indicarnos la ruta que siguen los lexemas somáticos en la incorporación de nuevos conceptos a sus formas lingüísticas prestablecidas. Asimismo, pensamos que la metodología y el marco teórico empleados en el análisis pueden servir para replicarse en otras investigaciones lingüísticas de las diferentes hablas (o lenguas) quechuas, en particular, y en otras lenguas originarias, en general; así como tomarse en cuenta para la instrucción lingüística del quechua, o bien como lengua materna, segunda lengua o lengua extranjera, en lo que al componente semántico atañe, dado que en la inmersión lingüística de una lengua no solo aprendemos aspectos de forma, sino también, de significado.Tesis

Full textAbstract:
Le fleuve Apurimac s'écoule dans une vallée profonde de la cordillère des Andes au Pérou. Dans son cours moyen, cette vallée recèle l’un des plus importants sites archéologiques de la culture inka (15-16eme siècles) : Choqek'iraw. , Il s'agit d'un palais, à I' architecture sophistiquée, accroché à l'éperon d'une montagne au sommet éternellement enneigé, que cette thèse se propose d'étudier dans une approche régionale. Sur la base des résultats de prospections extensives menées sur les deux rives de la vallée où des dizaines de vestiges de villages préhispaniques ont été identifiés, et d'une analyse des données ethnohistoriques disponibles, nous tentons de dévoiler la nature du peuplement préhispanique tardif de cette région située aux confins de plusieurs pays ethniques. Pour ce faire, nous développons une réflexion sur la notion de territoire, conduite à différentes échelles et selon diverses perspectives. Nous analysons, d'abord, I'habitat des communautés villageoises préhispaniques, dont la structure paraît tout à fait adaptée à l'écologie « verticale » des montagnes andines. Nous examinons, ensuite, l'affiliation socioculturelle de ces communautés, originaires de la Période Intermédiaire Récente (11-15eme siècles), à la lumière des sources ethnohistoriques et des témoignages matériels. Enfin, nous nous livrons à un essai sur les implications des paysages dans I'agencement territorial de la région; il semble, en effet, que les principaux sommets et l'Apurimac jouaient un rôle majeur dans les systèmes de représentation territoriale et que Choqek'iraw, et les autres établissements de la région, ont été implantés sur des sites spécifiques possédant une forte dimension symbolique. Aussi, il apparaît que les motifs de I'occupation inka de la région ne se limitaient pas au contrôle de sa population et à la mainmise sur ses ressources, car Choqek'iraw et ses environs formaient, avant tout, un domaine religieux visant à inscrire dans le paysage la vision du monde inka.

Second Chance nace como una idea de negocio alternativo al comercio de prendas de vestir basado en un enfoque sostenible ofreciendo una segunda oportunidad a las prendas de vestir en buen estado y desarrollar así un mercado de comercio en línea altamente rentable.
Se identificaron dos problemáticas, en primer lugar, personas que poseen gran cantidad de prendas en desuso, las cuales se encuentran en buen estado y desearían poder deshacerse de ellas a cambio de un ingreso monetario, en segundo lugar, personal que estarían dispuestas a comprar prendas de segunda mano de calidad a bajo precio y en buen estado ya que no cuentan con efectivo suficiente para adquirir las prendas nuevas, es así que Second Chance desarrolla una plataforma web con la finalidad de dar atención a estos problemas identificados proveyendo un espacio practico y seguro.
Los clientes potenciales de la compañía pertenecen a un sector socioeconómico B y C con estilo de vida moderno y progresista. El mercado al cual se enfoca el negocio es uno existente, sin embargo, la propuesta de valor del proyecto espera promover la moda sostenible como alternativa de consumo.
Para ello Second Chance cuenta con un equipo altamente calificado para desempeñarse en cada una de las unidades administrativas.
Se proyecta generar un alto índice de rentabilidad al finalizar el quinto año de operaciones, así también, luego de analizar dos escenarios, optimista y pesimista, se obtiene resultados positivos de alta rentabilidad y alta probabilidad de viabilidad para el proyecto.Second Chance was born as an alternative business idea to the clothing trade based on a sustainable approach, giving second chance to clothing in good condition and developing a highly profitable online trading market. Two problems were identified, the first one, people who have a large number of obsolete garments, which are in good condition and they wish they could get rid of them at the change of a monetary income, the second one, there are people who would be willing to buy garments second-hand quality at a low price and in good condition since they do not have enough cash to purchase the new garments, so Second Chance develops a web platform in order to address these identified problems, demonstrating a practical and safe space to buy. The company's potential customers affected are a socio-economic sector B and C with a modern and progressive lifestyle. The market to which the business focuses is an existing one, however, the value proposition of the project hopes to promote sustainable fashion as an alternative for consumption. For this Second Chance has a highly qualified team to perform in each of the administrative units. It is projected to generate a high profitability index at the end of the fifth year of operations, as well as, after analyzing two scenarios, optimistic and pessimistic, positive results of high profitability and high probability of viability for the project are obtained.

Full textAbstract:
Ireland experienced an unprecedented arrival of immigrants during the years of economic prosperity. The new diversity was met with divided public opinion towards non-Irish and an increasingly selective immigration policy. The media, as a main contributor to public discourse, play an important role in the construction of migrant images and therefore have a profound impact on such developments. Employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative content analysis, this study examines whether different immigrant groups have the same chance of favourable or unfavourable portrayal in daily newspapers. Based on the most frequent roles and topics associated with Poles, Nigerians and Chinese, a selection of newspaper articles is subjected to in-depth analysis. The overarching result that there is not one image of the Irish media illustrates how difficult, if not impossible, it is to arrive at findings that can be generalised. Individual newspapers are found to pursuit varying and sometimes covert strategies in the representation of immigrants. It is further shown that immigrants who are perceived as culturally closer to Irishness have a higher chance of favourable portrayal than those who are perceived as culturally more distant. Some commonly accepted perceptions of immigrants are unmasked as myths.

It is heartening to note that the number of contemporary Swahili scholars whose work is receiving attention in books and university theses is steadily on the increase. This volume adds Abdilatif Abdalla to the list containing, so far as I know, the names of Muhammed Said Abdulla, Ebrahim Hussein and Euphrase Kezilahabi It is a volume on the poetry of Abdalla which Nyaigotti-Chacha writes with wrumth, understanding and a desire to place in perspective the poet`s works, in particular, Utenzi wa maisha ya Adamu na Hawaa (1971) and Sauti ya dhiki (1973) For this reason, perhaps, it tends to be less critical and more informative Nyaigotti--Chacha divides his work into four chapters. The first chapter introduces the reader to the author`s reasons for undertaking to Wiite it, originally his M A thesis at the University of Nairobi (1980) A bdefbut useful biography of Abdilatif Abdalla (ppJ-9), and a theoretical orientation to the author`s analysis of the works (pp 9--11) - socialistic in the Marxian mould - furnishes the reader with the background required fm a better understanding of what follows in the next two chapters which examine Utenzi and Sauti .. respectively The final chapter investigates the skills of Abdalla as a poet

Full textAbstract:
The late 1980s and early 1990s saw the rise of contextualist theories of knowledge ascriptions (and denials). Contextualists about ‘knows' maintain that utterances of the form ‘S knows p' and ‘S doesn't know p' resemble utterances such as ‘Peter is here' and ‘Peter is not here', in the sense that their truth-conditions vary depending upon features of the context in which they are uttered. In recent years, contextualism about ‘knows' has come under heavy attack. This has been associated with a proliferation of defences of so-called invariantist accounts of knowledge ascriptions, which stand united in their rejection of contextualism. The central goal of the present work is two-fold. In the first instance, it is to bring out the serious pitfalls in many of those recent defences of invariantism. In the second instance, it is to establish that the most plausible form of invariantism is one that is sceptical in character. Of course, the prevailing preference in epistemology is for non- sceptical accounts. The central conclusions of the thesis might therefore be taken to show that – despite recent attacks on its plausibility – some form of contextualism about ‘knows' must be correct. However, this project is not undertaken without at least the suspicion that embracing (a particular form of) sceptical invariantism is to be preferred to embracing contextualism. In the course of the discussion, I therefore not only attempt to rebut some standard objections to sceptical invariantism, but also to reveal – in at least a preliminary way – how the sceptical invariantist might best argue for the superiority of her account to that of the contextualist.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 97-101).
This thesis is about the philosophical and scientific significance of chance. Specifically, I ask whether there is a single notion of chance that both plays a well-defined scientific role and proves useful for various philosophical projects. I argue that there is, but that this notion of chance is importantly different from the one that we usually come across in the philosophical literature. In the first chapter, "Chance, Indeterminacy, and Explanation", I argue against the common and influential view that chances are those probabilities that arise when the fundamental laws are indeterministic. The problem with this view, I claim, is not that it conflicts with some antecedently plausible metaphysics of chance, but rather that it renders the distinction between chance and other sorts of probability incapable of playing any scientifically significant role. I suggest an alternative view, according to which chances are the probabilities that play a certain explanatory role-they are probabilities that explain associated frequencies. In the second chapter, "Chance, Explanation, and Measure", I build on the view that chances are the probabilities that play a certain explanatory role by developing an account of non-fundamental chances-chances that arise when the fundamental laws are deterministic. On this account, non-fundamental chances are objective measures over relevant classes of alternative possibilities. In the third chapter, "Chance and Counterfactuals", I show how the sort of chances I have argued for can play an important role in a very different sort of philosophical project. According to a number of recent arguments, one consequence of our current scientific theories is that most ordinary counterfactuals are not true. I argue that the best response to these arguments makes use of the non-fundamental chances that I have argued for in the first two chapters of the dissertation.

Full textAbstract:
Consacrée à la fin du 19ème siècle, la perte de chance n'est autre qu'un préjudice visant à réparer 1 disparition de la probabilité de constater la réalisation d'un évènement favorable. Synonyme du hasard quand elle est employée au singulier mais synonyme de probabilité lorsqu'elle est plurielle la chance est encadrée par le droit. La perte de chance constitue un préjudice réparable dès lors que la victime du comportement dommageable démontre la réunion de certaines conditions de fond. A cet effet, la question de la causalité semble retenir une attention toute particulière. Le lien de causalité doit s'établir entre le comportement répréhensible et la perte de chance. Ainsi, le préjudice de perte de chance dispose d'une causalité autonome et ne saurait se confondre avec le dommage intégral. Par ailleurs, la chance doit être « réelle et sérieuse » pour être réparable, excluant ainsi toutes les chances faibles de la réparation. La victime obtiendra alors une réparation à hauteur de la chance perdue. Disposant d'une valeur juridique, la chance doit être irrémédiablement perdue pour être réparable. En effet, si la victime se prévaut d'une chance encore susceptible d'être atteinte, la réparation de la chance sera exclue. Bien que rigoureusement définie, la perte de chance s'est quelque peu dévoyée afin d'apparaître comme une notion « fourre-tout », comme un réflexe juridique, comme la solution de la dernière chance pour obtenir une réparation. Dans cet objectif, la perte de chance a notamment contourné la relation causale, pourtant indispensable, afin d'attribuer ce préjudice une vocation plus morale que juridique. La perte de chance subit les conséquences de l'évolution du concept de responsabilité civile et l'influence du principe de précaution. Remettant en cause la définition de la perte de chance, cette conception a même permis de poser la question de l'existence de cette théorie juridique qui ne rencontre qu'un succès plus que relatif dans le systèmes juridiques européens. Coincée dans un tourbillon juridique, la perte de chance est devenue un réflexe indemnitaire mettant toutes les chances au même niveau. Par un revirement de jurisprudence, assez inattendu, la Cour de Cassation est venue insérer la référence à la notion de « chance raisonnable ». Ainsi, la perte de chance retrouve la place qui lui avait été consacrée en ne réparant que les chances substantielles. Ce travail consistera à démontrer l'intérêt que cette révolution juridique apporte au préjudice de perte de chance. Qu'il s'agisse de l'efficacité de son régime juridique ou de stabilité de son application, la perte de chance aura tout intérêt à épouser un renouveau juridique au gré de propositions, certes rigoureuses, mais ô combien pragmatiquesAcknowledged by the end of the 19th century, the loss of chance is nothing else than the prejudice recognizing the Joss of the probability of a positive event occurring. Synonymous of coincidence when used in its singular form but synonymous of probabilities when plural, the chance is in framed by law. The loss of a chance is a repairable prejudice as long as the victim of the harmful attitude shows the gathering of a few substantive conditions. To this effect, the notion of causality ought to be given a particular consideration. The chain of causation must be established between the objectionable behavior and the loss of chance. Hence, the loss of chance prejudice has its own autonomous causation and shall not be mistaken with the entire damage. Furthermore, the chance must be « real and serious » in order to be repairable, thus excluding the low chances on reparation. The victim will then obtain a compensation equal to the loss of chance. Having a legal value, the chance must be lost forever in order to be compensated. Indeed, if the victim claims chance that might still be reached, its compensation will be excluded. Even though it has been rigorously defined, the loss of chance has been brought down to the holdall status, as a legal reaction as if it were the last possibility to obtain compensation. In this perspective, the loss of chance has bypassed the causality, yet essential, in order to award to this prejudice a moral connotation whether than a legal one. The loss of chance undergoes the consequences of the evolution of the civil liability concept and the influence of the precautionary principle. Taking perspective on the loss of chance's definition, this concept has even enable the question of the existence of this legal theory, which encounters a relative success in the European legal systems. Trapped in a legal swirl, the loss of chance has become a compensation reflex, putting all the chances on the same level. By an unexpected revision of the jurisprudence, the Cour de Cassation (Supreme Court), has integrated the reference the "reasonable chance" notion. Thus, the loss of chance finds its original place back, compensating only the substantive chances. This work will aim at demonstrating the impact of the legal revolution on the loss of chance. Whether it is the effectiveness of its legal regime or the stability of its enforcement, the loss of chance has an interest in embracing the legal renewal through strict and pragmatic propositions

Full textAbstract:
Charles Baxter, in his essay “Dysfunctional Narratives: or: ‘Mistakes Were Made,’” implies that all trauma narrative is synonymous with “dysfunctional narrative,” or narrative that leaves all characters unaccountable. He writes: “In such fiction, people and events are often accused of turning the protagonist into the kind of person the protagonist is, usually an unhappy person. That’s the whole story. When blame has been assigned, the story is over.” For Baxter, trauma narrative lets everyone “off the hook,” so to speak. He would say that we write about our bitter lemonade to make excuses for our poor choices, and “audiences of fellow victims” read our tales, because their lemonade and their choices carry equal bitterness, and they require equal excuses. While trauma narrative can soothe us, as can other narrative genres, we should not dismiss trauma fiction because of a sweeping generalization. Trauma fiction also allows us to explore the missing parts of our autobiographical narratives and to explore the effects of trauma—two endeavors not fully possible without fiction. As explained in more detail later, the human mind requires narrative to formulate an identity. Trauma disrupts this process, because “trauma does not lie in the possession of the individual, to be recounted at will, but rather acts as a haunting or possessive influence which not only insistently and intrusively returns but is, moreover, experienced for the first time only in its belated repetition.” Because literature can speak what “theory cannot say,” we need fiction to speak in otherwise silent spaces. Fiction allows us to express, analyze, and comprehend what we could not otherwise.

FUNDAÇÃO DE APOIO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIROA pesquisa Tempos de Acaso: a temporalidade descontínua e a tematização do acaso no cinema contemporâneo trata dos modos de representação do tempo nas narrativas cinematográficas da última virada de século. Para analisá-las, partiremos de uma reflexão sobre as mudanças na experiência temporal da sociedade moderna ocidental desde o final do século XIX, buscando traçar um panorama da temporalidade atual. Durante essa discussão, abordamos a perda da fé no progresso e no ideal de projeto da modernidade. Diante da crise desse tipo de pensamento, o homem contemporâneo se vê sem direção. De acordo com essa idéia central, chegamos à tematização do acaso, que acreditamos estar diretamente relacionada com a temporalidade descontínua, devido a sua crescente importância frente à descrença na ordem causal e linear moderna. Nesse sentido, buscamos nas narrativas aqui analisadas - Amores brutos e 21 gramas, de Alejandro González Iñárritu e Os amantes do Círculo Polar e Lucía e o sexo de Julio Medem - alguns dos modos possíveis de representação do tempo nos nossos dias. Esses filmes, que apresentam quebras na linearidade cronológica e têm no acaso um desencadeador das histórias, são encarados nesta pesquisa como emblemáticos de algumas dessas maneiras de pensar a temporalidade atualmente.
The research Times of Chance: the discontinuous temporality and the thematization of chance in contemporary film analyses how time has been represented in contemporary film narratives. In order to give a panorama of temporality as it is perceived nowadays, first we discuss the changes related to the way modern western society has experienced time since the late nineteenth century, taking into consideration the loss of faith in progress as well as in the ideals of modernity. Based on this main idea, we then approach the thematization of chance, which we believe to be directly linked to what we call discontinuous temporality, because of the disbelief in the modern linear order and in the idea that one event causes the next (and so forth). Therefore, in the narratives - Love`s a Bitch and 21 grams, by Alejandro González Iñárritu, and The Lovers of the Artic Circle and Sex and Lucía, by Julio Medem, - we analize some of the possible representations of time in our age. These films, which break the linear timeline and have chance as a trigger of stories, are considered emblematic of some of the ways current temporality might be faced.

Full textAbstract:
La chance est une notion hétérogène en droit administratif. Les manifestations de ses différentes acceptions sont en effet nombreuses tant le hasard, les probabilités et le risque auxquels la chance renvoie sont riches d’applications concrètes. Les effets de ceux-ci sont donc également, et sans surprise, très variés, de sorte que la perméabilité du droit administratif est à leur égard teintée de singularité selon qu’ils sont respectivement considérés comme bénéfiques ou néfastes. Ainsi, les probabilités sont l’illustration de ce que la chance peut être un outil utile au juge administratif dans le prononcé de ses jugements, tandis que le hasard et le risque renvoient tous deux à la survenance d’événements ou de phénomènes imprévisibles qui cherchent à être évités. Malgré toutes les subtilités déployées par la chance en droit administratif, celle-ci se révèle néanmoins comme une notion dont l’unité apparaît au stade de l’étude de sa fonction. La chance est alors une notion fonctionnelle qui a vocation à être de plus en plus employée par le juge administratif pour améliorer l’indemnisation délivrée aux administrés, tant d’un point de vue qualitatif que quantitatifChance is an heterogeneous notion in administrative law. The manifestations of its different meanings are indeed quite abundant in the sense that the coincidences, the probabilities and the risk that chance refers to are full of tangible applications. Their effects are equally, and unsurprisingly, very varied which means that the permeability of administrative law towards them is quite unique, depending on whether they are considered to be beneficial or adverse. So, probabilities illustrate how chance can be a useful tool for the administrative judge when pronouncing a judgment, whereas coincidences and risk both reflect back on the occurrence of events or unpredictable phenomenons which one would aim to avoid. Inspite of all the subtleties deployed by chance in administrative law, it nevertheless seems to be a notion, the unity of which appears to be at the study stage of its function. Chance is then a functional notion, the vocation of which is to be used more and more often by the administrative judge in order to improve the compensation awarded to citizens both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view

Full textAbstract:
In this doctoral thesis, I address questions concerning teleology, chance, and necessity in Aristotle's philosophy. These three concepts are closely related. Aristotle considers chance in relation to teleology, and contrasts his conception of teleology with his own and his predecessors' views of necessity. He explains accidental causation on the basis of the absurdity of necessitarianism. In Chapter I, I clarify Aristotle's definitions of chance events and chance in Physics B 4-6 on the basis of a detailed examination of 'coming to be accidentally' (196b23), 'for the sake of something' (196b21), 'might be done by thought or by nature' (196b22). I analyze accidental and non-accidental relations involved in the marketplace example. In Chapter II, I argue that Aristotle accepts that the regularly beneficial winter rainfall is for the sake of the crops in Physics B 8. I scrutinize Empedocles’ view as described by Aristotle and show that it is not a theory of natural selection. I seek to show that the rival view against which Aristotle argues is an amalgam of reductionism and eliminativism. In Chapter III, I analyze what Aristotle means by 'simple necessity' and 'necessity on a hypothesis' (199b34-35), and argue that, in Physics B 9, he only acknowledges hypothetical necessity. Scrutinizing the wall example and Aristotle’s reply to it, I clarify his view of the relation between teleological causation and material necessity. In Chapter IV, I clarify Aristotle's conception of accidental causes, while taking his presentation of the necessitarian argument in Metaphysics E 3 as a reductio ad absurdum. I criticize the view that Aristotle himself accepts necessitation in this chapter. In doing so, I argue that, although this point is not explicitly stated in Physics B, Aristotle thinks that what is accidental is not necessary prior to its occurrence.

Full textAbstract:
Since its invention nearly 150 years ago, margarine has proven itself adaptable to multiple ingredients and techniques whilst continuing to mimic the fatty tastes familiar to eaters in Northern Europe. In this thesis I argue that it this malleability that makes margarine a useful subject with which to explore constructions of eating-well. This thesis examines the ways in which margarine is done, why it is done in the ways that it is, and explores how such doings frame possibilities for eating-together-well. Eating-well has become something of a social obsession in the UK in recent years. Individual eating practices have become framed as a responsibility of care for personal and societal health, for agricultural workers, animal welfare and for the future of the planet. Nonetheless, it is commonly believed that although deeply personal, food habits are culturally and socially engrained, and as such are hard to change. This empirically led thesis, examines the knowledges and practices of producers and consumers, and establishes habit formation as a typical response by both producers and consumers to becoming overwhelmed with incompatible knowledges and information, compelling them to choose, prioritise and juggle ‘moral’ values. Yet, I demonstrate that such habits only remain stable until disrupted by an event which overflows and troubles this settlement. Building on this, this thesis then examines the possibilities offered by the creation of micro-events for encountering, knowing, and relating with, margarine matters anew. In this way, this thesis investigates the values, norms and power relations entangled with the presentation and enactment of margarine and its constituent parts as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ foods, examining both what these framings do, and how they are maintained. In approaching margarine matters in this way, this thesis offers three key contributions to the area of food geographies. Firstly, I demonstrate how commodity frameworks shift political problems in to a technical and administrative realm and close down spaces of critical thought and political intervention. Secondly, I establish that ‘strange encounters’ are events which can add to understandings of the more-than human world-making of food knowledges, practices, and habits. Thirdly, I determine that the novel methodological approach of ‘playing with our food’ is a productive technique with which to prefigure and rehearse more nuanced ethical understandings of eating-well as a relational doing that is excessive to consuming-well.

Full textAbstract:
Aristotle endorses a very striking doctrine connecting necessity with what seems to be a non-modal notion -- that of 'being or happening always'. He also forges a connection between the idea of 'happening by chance' and 'happening neither always nor for the most part'. These two connections form the subject of this essay. My guiding aim is to provide an account of what the 'always/necessary' doctrine involves and of why Aristotle might have held it. Reflection on the nature of the connection between 'by chance' and 'neither always nor for the most part' throws light on what Aristotle means by 'happening always', and, in consequence, on the nature of the link between 'always' and 'necessary'; it also suggests that the basis of this link is to be found in Aristotle's general conception of the natural world as the object of explanation and knowledge. The primary texts upon which discussion of these connections must focus are De Caelo I. 12 and the analysis of chance in Physics II. 4â6. I discuss these two texts in turn, after a opening chapter which surveys the evidence for Aristotle's acceptance of the 'always/necessaryâ doctrine and considers the nature of the restrictions which he places on it. Chapter 2 comprises a translation of and commentary on Cael. I. 12, together with a translation and discussion of its companion chapter, I. 10. In Chapter 3, I examine the nature of Aristotle's argument in I. 12, and criticise various interpretations which see it as evidence that Aristotle's 'always/necessary' doctrine rests on a distinctive conception of possibility. The translation of and commentary on Phys. II. 4-6 (Chapter 4) are followed in Chapter 5 by a discussion of issues relating to the association of chance with 'neither always nor for the most part'. The final chapter returns to the question of the connection between 'always' and 'of necessity'.

Nachdem die Einheitswerte als Basis für die Grundsteuer durch das Bundesverfassungsgericht verworfen wurden, stehen drei Reformmodelle in der engeren Wahl: Das schon 2016 vom Bundesrat in den Gesetzgebungsprozess eingebrachte „Kostenwert“-Modell, das wertunabhängige Flächenmodell sowie das Bodenwertmodell. Deutlich am vorteilhaftesten ist dabei – nicht nur aus siedlungspolitischer Sicht – das Bodenwertmodell. Aus politischen Gründen könnte allerdings eine Dämpfung der Bodenwertkomponente erforderlich sein. Diese sollte nach Ansicht des Autors über eine Bodenflächen- und nicht durch eine Gebäudekomponente erfolgen.

La presente tesis desarrolla el planeamiento estratégico del Puerto de Chancay el cual
se fundamenta en la metodología del profesor Fernando D’Alessio. El Puerto de Chancay
presenta importantes ventajas comparativas como son su calado natural cercano a 20 m, su
ubicación geográfica estratégica en la costa central del Perú con cercanía al Puerto del Callao,
al aeropuerto internacional Jorge Chávez, al corredor interoceánico Amazonas Centro del
IIRSA y con fácil acceso a la Panamericana Norte. El análisis realizado propone estrategias
para aprovechar estas ventajas para que el puerto llegue a convertirse en un participante
importante y competitivo en el sistema portuario nacional. Así mismo se ha definido una
visión basada en una evaluación de la situación actual y futura del puerto. Además se define
(a) la misión, como impulsor de la organización hacia la futura situación deseada, (b) los
valores, y (c) código de ética. Estos tres elementos, junto con la visión, van a guiar y normar
el accionar del Puerto de Chancay.
La implementación del plan estratégico estaría a cargo de la empresa privada
Terminales Portuarios Chancay S.A. quien deberá trabajar en conjunto con la Autoridad
Portuaria Nacional, la Municipalidad Distrital de Chancay y el Gobierno Regional de Lima
Provincias para que el Puerto de Chancay pueda alcanzar su potencial y se establezca como
una alternativa eficiente y descentralizada para el tráfico de mercadería de comercio
internacional en el Perú siendo el único puerto privado de uso público del país.
Las estrategias propuestas son del tipo (a) intensivas de desarrollo de producto, por la
infraestructura nueva a construir con el terminal portuario y la Zona de Actividades
Logísticas, (b) de integración vertical hacia adelante, por el desarrollo de la vía férrea que
conecte el Puerto de Chancay con el Ferrocarril del Centro, y (c) interna específica por las
alianzas que se deben generar con el gobierno local para la integración del puerto con la
ciudad. Se ha definido seis objetivos de largo plazo con los que se pretende cumplir con la
visión del Puerto de Chancay, tres de los cuales están relacionados al desarrollo de
infraestructura y los otros tres relacionados a participación de mercado. De estos objetivos de
largo plazo se han definido 26 objetivos de corto plazo cuyo desempeño y logro serán
monitoreados mediante el Tablero de Control Balanceado.This thesis develops the Strategic Plan of Chancay Port, which is based on Professor Fernando D'Alessio’s methodology. The Chancay Port has significant comparative advantages such as its near to 20 m bathymetry, its strategic geographical location in the central coast of Peru with proximity to Callao Port, the Jorge Chavez International Airport, and the inter-oceanic corridor of the IIRSA’s Amazonas Center, and its easy access to the Northern Panamerican Highway. This analysis proposes strategies to exploit these advantages for the port to become a significant and competitive player in the national port system. It is also defined a vision based on an assessment of the current and future situation of the port. In addition, it is defined a (a) the mission, as a promoter of the organization towards the future desired situation, (b) values, and (c) code of ethics. These three elements, together with the vision, will guide and regulate the actions of the Port of Chancay. The implementation of the Strategic Plan would be undertaken by the private company Terminales Portuarios Chancay S.A. who must work with the National Port Authority, the Chancay Municipality, and the Lima Provinces Regional Government. This way Chancay Port can reach its potential and be established as an efficient and decentralized alternative to the merchandise traffic of international trade in Peru becoming the only private port for public use in the country. The proposed strategies are of the type (a) intensive-product development for the new infrastructure to be built with the port terminal and the Logistics Activities Zone, (b) verticalintegration forward, for the development of the railway linking the Chancay Port with the Central Railway, and (c) specific-internal for the partnerships that should be generated with the local government for the integration of the port with the city. Six log-term goals have been defined to pretend fulfill the vision of the Port of Chancay, three of which are related to infrastructure development and the other three related to market share. Of these long-term objectives, 26 short-term goals have been defined whose performance and achievement will be monitored through the Balanced Scorecard.

Por último, la poesía de Carlos Huamán representa el traslado de esa memoria del despojo que revivió la violencia, a través de recipientes simbólicos como el zapato y la cartera, que son trasladados en la alforja por el sujeto poético en diálogo con otros espacios transnacionales.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse d'anthropologie a pour objet l'analyse de l'iconographie de la culture Chancay, culture préhispanique péruvienne, d'un point de vue graphique et iconologique. Notre travail s'appuie sur une étude simultanée de deux objets archéologiques, les céramiques et les textiles, collectés exclusivement en contextes funéraires. L'examen méthodique du corpus d'étude (471 pièces), établi à partir de rapports de fouilles et de sept collections muséales consultées à Lima, a permis de définir le répertoire graphique de la Culture Chancay et de mettre en évidence 14 motifs graphiques similaires à travers le temps et l'espace andin. Le travail d'analyse conduit sur ces motifs au regard de chroniques colonialesn d'écrits ecclésiastiques, de textes ethnohistoriques et de travaux sur des terrains anthropologiques a montré que l'ensemble de ces graphismes exprimait une même idée de fertilité et de fécondité en rapport avec le culte des morts ou des ancêtres. L'observation de plusieurs tombes Chancay reconstituées à partir des archives de l'archéologue péruvien Hans Hork-Heimer montre une disposition ordonnée de l'ensemble des objets autour du paquet funéraire, formant ainsi un tout à l'intérieur d'un espace défini et délimité. La pratique contemporaine de la "mesa" ou table d'offrande utilisée dans le cadre des rituels de fertilité et des rites funéraires présente des données semblables à celles du contexte funéraire d'étude. Nous avons donc proposé que la tombe Chancay soit envisagée comme une "mesa" dans le sens littéral du mot, c'est-à-dire une table rituelledestinée aux esprits des ancêtres, garant dans la cosmologie andine de la fertilité et de la fécondité des animaux et des hommesThe subject of this anthropology thesis is the iconography of the prehispanic peruvian Chancay culture, focuses on graphics and iconology. Our research is based around a simultaneous study of two archeological objects: ceramics and textiles, found exclusively in burial places. The methodic examination of the corpus of the study (471 pieces), drawn up from excavations reports and from seven museums collections visited in Lima, have helped define the graphical repertory of the Chancay culture and highlighted 14 similar patterns throughout Andean time and space. The anlysis of these graphics, throughout colonial chronicles, ecclesistical writtings, ethnohistoric documents and works on anthropological fields, has shown that all of these patterns express an identical idea: fertility and fecundity, closely associated with death-ritual and ancestors cults. The examination of several tombs, reconstructed with the help of the peruvian archeologist Hans Hork-Heimer's archives, identifies a well ordered display of the different artefacts around the funeral bundle defining a delimited space. The contemporary practice of the "mesa" or votive offerings, used on the occasion of fertility rituals and funeral rites, presents some information that we find in the study funeral context. This ritual table is laid for ancestors' spirit who are the guarntors of the land's fertility, animals and humans fecundity in the Andean cosmology. We therefore propose that the Chancay tomb should be seen and understood as a "mesa"

Die Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema "Hilfe zur Arbeit" nach dem BSHG. Grundsätzlich zielen alle mit Hilfe zur Arbeit im Zusammenhang stehenden Paragraphen des BSHG auf (Re-)Integration der Hilfeempfänger in den ersten Arbeitsmarkt und die Aktivierung der Selbsthilfekräfte. Unter Berücksichtigung der Zumutbarkeitskriterien geht die Bundesregierung von knapp einer Million benötigter Arbeitsplätzen aus, um alle in Frage kommenden Empfänger von laufender Hilfe zum Lebensunterhalt in den Arbeitsmarkt zu integrieren. Die Schaffung und Akquise dieser Arbeitsplätze sind Aufgaben der Kommunen. Die vorliegende Studie spiegelt wieder, wie die Städte Dresden, Leipzig und Chemnitz die Paragraphen 18 bis 20 und 25 des BSHG bis zum Jahr 2000 in ihre Praxis umsetzten und welche Schlüsse sich daraus für das Gelingen einer beschäftigungsorientierten kommunalen Sozialpolitik unter lokalen Bedingungen ableiten lassen. Im von mir untersuchten Zeitraum führten alle drei Städte Maßnahmen der "Hilfe zur Arbeit" durch. Jede der Kommunen entwickelte eigene Konzepte zur Umsetzung der gesetzlichen Vorgaben. Zusammenfassend stelle ich fest, dass die Chancen auf einen Arbeitsplatz im Bereich des ersten Arbeitsmarktes, neben der direkten Einstellung mit Hilfe von Lohnkostenzuschüssen, im Anschluss an Maßnahmen mit Arbeitsvertrag am größten sind. Voraussetzung ist allerdings, dass der Hilfeempfänger ein Jahr sozialversicherungspflichtig beschäftigt war. Ich komme also mit Hilfe meiner Studie zu dem Ergebnis, dass "Hilfe zur Arbeit" nach dem BSHG für die Sozialhilfeempfänger lediglich eine äußerst geringe Chance darstellt, einen Arbeitsplatz auf dem ersten Arbeitsmarkt zu bekommen. Keinesfalls handelt es sich hierbei um eine wirkliche Chance und gleich recht nicht um ein Instrument, welches in der Lage ist Massenarbeitslosigkeit zu bekämpfen. Die Mehrzahl der Hilfeempfänger findet auf diesem Weg keine Arbeit auf dem ersten Arbeitsmarkt.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation seeks to argue that the doctrine of a loss of a chance should be adopted into South African law, specifically within the medical malpractice field. This doctrine allows for a physician to be held delictually liable for causing a loss of a chance of recovery or survival in medical misdiagnosis cases where a physician negligently failed to diagnose a curable disease, and the patient is thus harmed by or succumbs to such a disease. It is this writer's objective to demonstrate why such a doctrine ought to be introduced into South African delictual law as a secondary claim which is to be available once a claimant is unable to meet the traditional test for causation, and then evaluate in which manner this doctrine should be integrated into the law, keeping in mind South Africa's law of delict and the court's past practices in developing delictual principles. Two different approaches predominately adopted in other jurisdictions in order to overcome the concerns regarding how the doctrine disregards the causation standard will be discussed. The first approach, the 'substantial possibility' approach, calls for the relaxation of the causation standard in specific cases, whilst the second approach, the 'pure chance' approach, views the loss of a chance as an autonomous injury in and of itself. Each of the two approaches are evaluated in relation to South Africa's delictual law, as well as its judiciary's past practices in developing delictual principles. By doing so this writer will illustrate which approach is more beneficial and suitable within the South African delictual law context. It is this writer's contention that, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the doctrine, it would be wiser to introduce the loss of a chance doctrine by ways of wrongfulness, whereby the court could create a new harm which is wrongful in the eyes of the law if it holds that it is reasonable, in terms of public policy and the views of the community, to hold a physician responsible for negligently causing the patient to lose a chance of survival or a cure. By means of wrongfulness, the loss of a chance doctrine can therefore be integrated into South African delictual law on a strong fundamental foothold as to not impeach and threaten the effectiveness of the doctrine in future.

Estudamos aproximações amostrais de problemas com restrições probabilísticas através da aproximação pela média amostral (SAA) e demonstramos as propriedades de convergência relacionadas. Utilizamos SAA para obter bons candidatos à solução e cotas estatísticas para o valor ótimo do problema original. Para ajustar corretamente parâmetros, aplicamos o método a dois problemas com restrições probabilísticas. O primeiro é um problema de seleção de portfolio linear com retornos seguindo uma distribuição lognormal multivariada. O segundo é uma versão com restrições probabilísticas conjuntas de um problema da mistura simplificado. Concluímos com uma aplicação mais exigente ao problema de se determinar a provisão mínima que um agente econômico deve ter de forma a satisfazer uma série de obrigações futuras com probabilidade suficientemente alta.
We study sample approximations of chance constrained problems through the sample average approximation (SAA) approach and prove the related convergence properties. We discuss how to use the SAA method to obtain good candidate solutions and bounds for the optimal value of the original problem. In order to tune the parameters of SAA, we apply the method to two chance constrained problems. The first is a linear portfolio selection problem with returns following a multivariate lognormal distribution. The second is a joint chance constrained version of a simple blending problem. We conclude with a more demanding application of SAA methodology to the determination of the minimum provision an economic agent must have in order to meet a series of future payment obligations with sufficiently high probability.

Full textAbstract:
Chance, in the sense of the incalculable, the indeterminable, names the limit of every estimation of the truth. Whereas traditional philosophical discourses aspire to transcend this limit, deconstruction affirms on the contrary its necessity; not as a higher principle that relativizes truth and renders all our calculations futile, as is commonly suggested by flippant appropriations of Derrida's work, but as a structural property within every event and every concept, every mark. Rather than a mere impediment to the pursuit of truth then, the incalculable forms a necessary correlative of the pursuit itself. Deconstruction effectively attests to and exemplifies the dependence of every philosophical discourse on its irreducible, inherent limitation. With reference to numerous commentaries on Derrida's work, Chapter 1 shows that the unconditional indeterminability of a deconstructive, methodological identity is indissociable from deconstruction's critical import. And as Chapter 2 verifies in turn, focusing now primarily on Derrida's lecture ‘My Chances/Mes Chances' and the performative aspects of his writing, deconstruction's appeal to the accidental and the idiomatic is not a call to irresponsibility and a turning away from theory; it is what ensures its remarkable theoretical consistency. Through close readings of Aristotle, Freud, Richard Rorty and William James, Chapter 3 demonstrates that any attempt to regulate chance cannot help but put chance to work instead. Not even fiction can arrest its contaminating force. Reading Derrida alongside Edgar Allan Poe, Chapter 4 posits that the commonsensical conception of chance as a deviation from the truth is bound up with an uncritical notion of literary writing as sheer untruthfulness, and hence as the site of pure chance. The constitutive pervasiveness of chance bears out, in the first place and above all, the instability of the limit that separates fiction from non-fiction, truth from non-truth.

Views of long-term environmental change often rely on linear narratives of growth and decline. Last chance sites have been described as offering a limited window of time to witness landscapes and seascapes that are deemed to exist within varying states of vanishing, captivating audiences with visible and timely sights of change. This thesis questions the agency of representing the future of these sites and calls for a strategy to look beyond end conditions to link less visible cycles with the roles of surrounding industry. On the coast of Hudson Bay, the self-declared "polar bear capital of the world" is discussed in relation to last chance sites due to an industry that has become reliant on visitors observing the changing environmental attractions of the area. This project examines how the northern town of Churchill, Manitoba developed at an intersection of migration between far reaching industrial and ecological systems. To the north the Arctic is opening with decreasing sea ice, and to the south an infrastructural rail line spurred the transformation of territory from a geographically concentrated urban population. Conceived of as a linear northern expansion project for future growth, the reality over time is a nonlinear emergence and decline of economic pursuits. The design strategy resists focusing on short-term development models by bringing public attention and cyclical activity to a broader territory. New linkages negotiate scattered and fluctuating industries such as forestry, mining, and energy production that support urban growth and a regional strategy focuses attention on overlooked sites, offering platforms to locate discourse on the role of development in longterm change across systems.

Full textAbstract:
People give huge importance to preserving their memories as a way of understanding who they are and what they are about. Current memory support systems, however, favour people self-prescribing time and space to collect, store and maintain explicit memory triggers (e.g. photographs, videos, memorabilia). Finding time to access such systems and their potential triggers to engage in reminiscence is a process requiring great effort, organisation and dedication. This thesis builds on the view that it is not the supports that contain the memory but people to explore new systems that hint at memories rather than serving as repositories. This offers great scope for designers, as systems no longer have to be designed around personal memory evidence alleviating the need for people to contribute, update and retrieve personal content. To achieve this, understanding around involuntary memory provides inspiration towards designing support and is considered through more specific questions: . What are current methods for capturing, archiving and accessing memory triggers? . Through understanding the nature of memory, how can design support unexpected remembering? . How might designed support for unexpected remembering enhance reminiscing experiences? The methodology is an iterative evaluation of current practices, analysis, proposals and recommendations, with three methods used throughout. First, I review literature around the nature of memory and exploring the current approaches for designing reminiscence support as a foundation for new approaches. Second, I report empirical studies to collect anecdotal evidence of unexpected remembering. Finally, I develop proposals and recommendations that reflect on the findings of the literature review and explorations showing how design can extend and enhance current experiences of unexpected remembering. Overall, this thesis develops a new approach to designing memory support. As an alternative to prescribing explicit, intense and proactive memory recall instalments, this research presents design recommendations that are sympathetic to how people naturally remember and their need for spontaneous, lightweight memory recall.

Includes bibliographies.This study focuses on a group of African adult students who were registered at St. Anthony's Adult Education Centre on the East Rand in order to complete the secondary education they did not complete at school. It investigates why adult students perceive education, and the matric examination in particular, to be of importance. To this end, an empirical survey was carried out to approach an understanding of the views and perceptions adult students had of themselves and what they were doing and why the empirical survey looks at the question of matric "from below" so to speak, through the eyes of the adult students. In the belief that education is about people and their needs, it is hoped that the empirical survey will bring us closer to the adult students involved. However, to examine the views and perceptions of the adult students in isolation would deny them the contextual richness that gives them life. For this reason, the empirical survey is preceded by a theoretical discourse which offers three perspectives or ways of understanding the education system for Africans: education as a means towards social advancement; education as the reproduction of cultural capital and education as social reproduction. It is hoped that these diverse explanations may not only give insight into the views and experiences of the adult students who took part in the empirical survey, but also offer contrasting thoughts on the role of the education system and the matric examination in particular. Indeed, in the light of the question asked by the title, it is hoped that the contrasting perspectives will contribute to an understanding of the nature of the "second chance" adult students believe they have by studying towards matric.

My love of learning, teaching, and providing creative spaces for people to connect informs my work and my life. For me, art is like life: messy, physical, and, if done with intent, beautiful. It is more about the process than the result; it is about recognizing that although we make choices, there are many things we cannot control; it is about being so present in the moment that everything else fades away. How I live, what I do, what I believe, and my art are all the same.
