Abstract:

This thesis explores how the ancient Near Eastern Book of Lamentations can be read and interpreted cross-culturally today, so that the reader stays with the structure of the text but also listens to the spontaneity of cries from a bereft and humiliated people as they grapple with grief. The first part sets the scene and develops a hermeneutical model: a double-stranded helix, which demonstrates the tensions between the textual form and psychological content of Lamentations 1-5. The two strands are connected by three cross-strands, which representat frameworks, cries and metaphorical images int

Abstract:

This study investigates the determinants of the disclosure of corporate governance practices using a sample of 5200 companies from the OECD member countries. The OECD has thirty-four members but they differ, among other things, by their regulatory frameworks and cultures which impact of the companies’ decision of ‘what to and what not to’ disclose on corporate governance practices. Extant literature is very wealthy on corporate disclosure practices mainly in the area of accounting, but scant on disclosure of corporate governance practices by companies and peculiarly in the OECD countries whose

First examples of cultural heritage law reveal the concerns of the legislator for the uncontrolled outflow of artworks and other objects of cultural interest from regional and national borders. The first introduction of an art export control system dates back to the beginning of XVII century.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the function of music within different theories of nationalism and the appropriation of folk music within the genre of min’ge. Min’ge, a term in Chinese which directly translates to “folk songs”, has generally been defined as oral musical traditions. However, due to the increased politicization of popular music since the 1930s, the nature folk music has fundamentally changed, reflecting its new significance within Chinese nationalism. Through the years, min’ge has become more useful to promoting the goals of the state than representing the musical traditions of the many di

The once dominant view of planning as the discovery of an objective 'public good' has been challenged over the last several decades. Radical uncertainty, social diversity, technological change and popular mistrust of traditional government underlie growing calls for more open and flexible governance processes. In order to reclaim some public legitimacy for their actions, governments and public agencies have responded by creating spaces for stakeholder input to policy making.This thesis is concerned with the often uneasy interaction between stakeholders and bureaucracies in these evolving space

Abstract:

Since Australia became a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, the importance of recognising, valuing and respecting a child’s family, culture, language and values has been increasingly articulated in education policy. Diversity and inclusion are now central themes guiding the principles and quality measures of early childhood education and care as encompassed by the National Quality Framework, including both the National Quality Standard and the Early Years Learning Framework (Early Childhood Development Steering Committee, 2009).

Abstract:

Considerada, cada vez mais, como um atributo organizacional essencial para o sucesso das organizações, a cultura organizacional ainda não é conhecida da maioria das Universidades, as quais têm sido sujeitas a transformações sem precedentes para se adaptar e a acompanhar os desafios societais. Adotando uma abordagem multimétodo, procurou-se a caracterizar a cultura organizacional de uma universidade publica portuguesa, segundo o Modelo dos Valores Contrastantes recorrendo ao questionário FOCUS e à entrevista semiestruturada de Quinn. Os resultados revelaram uma ênfase na cultura de regras para

Abstract:

This study is a critical reflection on two music projects that I conducted in my home area of Ipswich, Australia, prior to undertaking this research.

The purpose of this study is to review and analyse the creative processes that I used in the rural Ipswich music projects in order to develop suitable practice frameworks for similar projects in future. The first music project was a collaborative investigation of the music history of Purga in rural Ipswich (2003-200
