For that we will observe the imperial ambience at which the biographer was inserted and we will also try to understand how that, with its political program, influenced the work writting. Because it is a research specially toward to family role, we will have an unfolding about the family centrality in many roman domestic attitudes and the public effects of such actions. However, for considering the biography of an Emperor, we will focus on the way such family values have their potentiality enlarged and modified in imperial family. Then we will see in which aspects Suetonius arranges them in order to present the searched nefarious image about Nero.<br>Neste trabalho discutiremos o papel da família e como Suetônio, em sua obra De Vita Caesarum, se utiliza desta para a construção de uma memória negativa do Imperador Nero. Para tanto observaremos o ambiente imperial no qual o biógrafo estava inserido e também buscaremos compreender como tal, com seu programa político, influenciou a escrita da obra. Por se tratar de uma pesquisa voltada especialmente para o papel da família, teremos um desdobramento acerca da centralidade familiar nas diversas atitudes domésticas de um romano e os efeitos públicos dessas ações. Contudo, por considerarmos a biografia de um Imperador, iremos focar no modo como tais valores familiares tem sua potencialidade ampliada e modificada na família imperial. Então veremos em que aspectos Suetônio os arranja a fim de apresentar a buscada imagem nefasta acerca de Nero.

Research has shown that being in a romantic relationship has related negatively with work-family conflict. Using social exchange theory, the investment model, and role theory, this study examined the relationships among the dimensions of perceived partner support, romantic relationship interdependence, and work-family conflict. A sample of 192 adults in paid employment, currently involved in a romantic relationship, were recruited from SurveyMonkey Contribute. Study participants completed online a demographic survey, the revised Support in Intimate Relationships Rating Scale (SIRRS), the Investment Model Scale, and work-family conflict scales. Correlation analyses showed that work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict correlated negatively with commitment and positively with quality of alternatives as hypothesized. As hypothesized, regression analyses showed that quality of alternatives and informational support explained unique variance in work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict and that commitment explained unique variance in family-to-work conflict. PROCESS mediation analyses showed partial support for the hypothesis of mediation. Quality of alternatives and commitment mediated the relationships between esteem/emotional support and family-to-work conflict and instrumental/tangible support and family-to-work conflict. Quality of alternatives mediated the relationships between informational support and work-to-family conflict, informational support and family-to-work conflict, and instrumental/tangible support and work-to-family conflict. The findings contribute to positive social change by offering added knowledge about the occurrence of work-family issues in the lives of employees representing a large percentage of the workforce.

In 1991 Suzanne Dixon published an article that suggested that, from the late Republic onwards, it is possible to detect a sentimental ideal of family life at Rome. She also argued that there is a significant paucity of affectionate terminology in Plautus' mid-republican works. My thesis looks for traces of a Roman sentimental ideal in Plautus' comedies. I analyse his plays, being careful to interpret them in the light of comic convention and paying attention to the varying forms of comic drama, and I search for sentimental themes related to wives and husbands, parents and children, the home, and slaves and outsiders. I consider the evidence and arguments used by Dixon and other historians and also look at modern examples of sentimentality (in literature and in other cultural material), using these as a tool to measure sentimentality in Plautus. My overall contention is that Plautus' metatheatrical plays deliberately explored and exploited the sentimental ideology of his original audience. In fact, some of the works’ humour depended upon the spectators' knowledge of the ideal and its claims upon their attention; Plautus wryly exposed the tensions that existed between the ideal and the realities of daily life. Plautus’ plays were successful and obviously communicated well with his contemporaries. I therefore conclude that sentimental ideology was well known in Rome prior to the late Republic – that it is an enduring concept, discernible in many cultures and eras.

Cette etude est nee d'une interrogation sur la nature du romanesque contemporain tel qu'il parait s'affirmer dans une partie de l'oeuvre de claude simon et de danilo kis : la route des flandres (1960), histoire (1967), les georgiques (1980) et l'acacia (1989) du premier ; la trilogie le cirque de famille : chagrins precoces (1969), jardin, cendre (1965), sablier (1972) du second. Elle est articulee autour de trois axes principaux qui tentent de mettre en lumiere et d'expliquer les notions de roman de formation litteraire, de quete romanesque et de frontiere de la fiction. A partir d'une analyse simultanee de la forme et de l'intrigue proprement dite, nous montrons que les romans de claude simon et de danilo kis peuvent etre lus comme des << romans de formation litteraire >>. Cela nous permet de saisir la motivation qui a inspire et guide les deux ecrivains : la quete romanesque du secret de la malediction qui pese sur la famille des deux narrateurs auteurs (georges, andreas sam) au point de la detruire. Enfin, nous montrons comment ces deux recherches menent, en derniere instance, a frontiere de la fiction, car il faut l'admettre : si dans notre corpus le recit est interroge dans sapuissance de dire, il l'est aussi dans sa capacite a former une vision du monde en simulant par endroits, et d'une maniere delicate au point d'etre invisible a la premiere lecture, le discours considere communement comme non fictionnel (en l'occurrence, celui de l'historien). En un mot : cette etude s'emploie a montrer que la representation desenchantee et resolument pessimiste du monde - consequence d'un mal d'etre profond lie a la perte des parents et a une experience intime particulierement violente de la guerre - est fondamentalement enrichie, c'est-a-dire rendue autre, nouvelle, voire inedite, par la facon dont le roman en tant que genre et l'ecriture en tant qu'ars poetica sont assimiles et renouveles par claude simon et danilo kis.

La thèse est basée sur un corpus de huit romans d'auteurs féminins libanais, toutes de confessions différentes : "L'excisée" d'E. Accad. , "Les portes de la nuit " d'E. Agha Malak, "Sous les vignes du pays druze" de L. Barakat, "Le Sommeil délivré" et "La maison sans racines" d'A. Chédid, "Histoire de Zahra" de H. El-Cheikh, "La Maîtresse du notable" et "Une maison au bord des larmes" de V. Khory-Ghata. Aménagée entrois parties, la thèse aborde en premier l'impact de la culture familiale et religieuse au Liban sur les écrivains et leurs oeuvres ainsi que les soubresauts politiques et les traditions culturelles fixant les décors de la vie quotidienne des héros. La seconde partie traite les trite les différents types de violences répertoriées, commises par les hommes et liées au statut inférieur des femmes, parfois complice, active ou passive des agressions perpétrées. Enfin, dans la troisième partie, les réactions des victimes face aux comportements violents démontrent la gamme po sible de défense et de reconstruction, de soumission et d'anéantissement de certains héros et héron͏̈es, de toutes religions confondues.

Background: Family businesses are shaping the world’s economy through contributions to establishing jobs, creating wealth, and competitiveness, correspondingly being influenced by the quality of the business environment. Family business branding is useful to understand how to leverage their unique resources and create a competitive advantage, these being shaped by the context. The historical events and economic factors of Romania are influencing the decision of family firms to portray their family in their branding endeavours in order to become more competitive. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to understand the reasoning behind the Romanian family companies’ decision to promote their family aspect in their brand and how do family business identity, image, and reputation relate to the brand in the context of Romania. For guidance, two research questions were developed in order to gain valuable and significant insights for this thesis. Method: Ontology – Relativism; Epistemology – Social constructionism; Approach – Inductive; Design – Exploratory; Methodological choice – Qualitative; Time Horizon – Cross-sectional; Strategy – Case-study; Data collection – In-depth Interviews; Sampling – Non-probability Purposive Samples based on criteria (eleven respondents); Data Analysis – Content Analysis. Conclusion: From findings, it can be concluded that the context of Romania has a direct impact on family businesses and on how they are conducting their family brand promotion. Even though it is considered to have a positive impact, few Romanian family businesses actively market themselves as a family business. The predominant factors affecting the decisional processes, which are shaped by the contextual effects according to the three brand dimensions, have been comprised in a model of influential factors.

The number of families choosing to adopt a child internationally in the United States has increased exponentially on an annual basis (Johnson, 1997; Miller, 2000). The purpose of this study was to understand the adoption process experiences of families who have adopted a child between the ages of three and five years old from Russia or Romania after 1992. In this clinical sample, all participantsâ adopted children had been referred for and undergone neuropsychological, medical, speech, and/or language evaluation. Specifically, the research questions were designed to help therapists understand the role mental health care professionals, schools, family members, and friends played in the adoption process and how the participantsâ experiences compared with their preadoptive expectations. Twenty families were interviewed and several observations were conducted. Data analysis consisted of thematic analysis which elicited codes and themes across the interviews. This studyâ s findings suggest that: 1) parents would have found more preparation before adoption helpful in the process; 2) health care professionals and schools need to be better educated about problems, concerns, and appropriate treatments specific to post-institutionalized children; 3) raising (a) special needs child(ren) puts significant strain on the caregiver(s) and their significant relationships; and 4) families with special needs children are extremely resilient. These findings are important for education and healthcare professionals, families who are planning to adopt internationally in the future and current adoptive families.<br>Ph. D.
