Resumen

This dissertation examines the intersection of gender and culture in the process of identity formation among Kanaka 'Oiwi Maoli (Indigenous Hawaiian) men in the Hale Mua 0 Maui. Throughout the neocolonial Pacific, indigenous Oceanic men have engaged in gender practices that historically have had widely different consequences for their positions of power or marginality; the cases of Hawai'i and Aotearoa/New Zealand offer important insights into the gendered dynamics of colonialism, decolonization, and reclamation. Focusing in on a deeper history of colonization and revitalization at Pu'ukohola heiau (Kawaihae, Hawai'i), I highlight the ways in which the birth of a newly gendered tradition of bravery and warriorhood in Na Koa (The Courageous Ones) led to a reconsideration of men's roles in different sectors of the Hawaiian community. One outcome was the formation of the Hale Mua, or the "Men's House," on the island of Maui. Against the legacy of American colonialism and its concomitant discourses of death, disappearance, feminization, and domestication, the Hale Mua has endeavored to build strong, culturally grounded men that will take up their kuleana (rights and responsibilities) as members of their 'ohana (families) and the larger lahui (nation). In particular, I examine the role of discursive and embodied practices of ritual, performance, and narrative in the transformation, (re)definition, and enactment of their subjectivities as Hawaiian men. The processes through which the members of the group come to define, know, and perform these kuleana articulate with the larger projects of cultural revitalization, moral regeneration, spiritual/bodily healing, national reclamation, and the uncertain and ambiguous project of mental and political decolonization. Likewise, the very writing of this dissertation has fore-grounded both the possibilities and problematics of conducting indigenous anthropology and research at home.

Resumen

Hawaiian navigators oriented themselves without instruments by using a system based upon knowing where they came from and by having faith in the words of their ancestors. As a Hawaiian artist, I am embarking on a journey in which I orient myself in much the same way. When translated from our language, "ka wa ma mua" literally means "the time in front." However, in Hawaiian thinking, it describes the time that came before this time in which we live. In the same vein, "ka wa ma hope" literally means "the time in back" or from a Hawaiian perspective, the time which follows this time in which we live. "It is as if the Hawaiian stands firmly in the present, with his back to the future, and his eyes fixed upon the past, seeking historical answers for present-day dilemmas." (Kameʻeleihiwa, 1992) We Hawaiians view the world looking to that time that came before us because it is rich in knowledge. Looking to my ancestors and knowing the history of our people strongly influences how I view the world and contributes greatly to the forming of my relationship with it. I look to the past also to learn more about my Hawaiian identity. As a Hawaiian in today's world, I realize that part of the process requires that I engage in the task of decolonizing my mind. My thesis exhibition is an attempt to express through imagery one aspect of this decolonization. It is only one part of the process and one avenue of many through which an artist can express resistance to further erosion of our life ways. Looking to the past, recognizing that I was raised as a colonized person is one step towards better understanding the importance of my Hawaiian identity. Awareness of this part of my past is another step in the process of decolonization.

Resumen

This research is concerned with Kai Tahu experiences and understandings of the concept and use of the term, landscape. The term itself is one used variously to represent for us as Iwi, the land and the sea including flora and fauna. The Kai Tahu landscape is Papatuanuku, our cosmological mother. Particular areas used for the case studies include the following marae: Otakou, Karitane, Kaikoura, Tuahiwi, Ka marae e toru o Horomaka, Taumutu, Te Tai Poutini, Hukanui, Waihopai, Arowhenua, Oraka, Awarua and the many places of te rohe potae o Kai Tahu i Te Waipounamu. Material was drawn from literature, the participants formally interviewed and many from within and outside Kai Tahu rohe potae. All responses are used to illustrate the ways in which Kai Tahu and some of their non-Kai Tahu spouses express particular definitions of what for each, constitutes and is constituted in the landscape. Kai Tahu participants� landscape definition includes whakapapa, placenames, identity (personal and cultural), spirituality and sustenance. Elements of these are present to a similar degree for some of the spouses, but not all. This seems largely dependent upon the degree to which they have participated in matters pertaining to Kai Tahu. Degrees of participation and connection may be applied to Tahu people alienated from their kaik, whether urbanised near or distantly domiciled. Theoretical bases in literature from a number of disciplines are used to discuss perceptions of what anthropologists more usually term �place� and how Kai Tahu fit this or choose to fit the understanding of cultural others into our world view. The research also looks briefly at the environmental landscape and who presently has power and therefore mana over its use and or misuse, especially in relation to management of Papatuanuku. Due to the [sic] of the type [sic] project this thesis is, it cannot finally conclude there is a single Kai Tahu or gender specific perception of landscape. This would never be provable in any circumstance, since it is not scientifically based. It does however, suggest there is an indigenous perspective of landscape that differs from certain Western thinking and within the indigenous perspective, a Kai Tahu epistemological understanding of the landscape based on our theory and knowledge of ourselves.

Resumen

This project was carried out under a broad theme of Maori health and investigates the genetics of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and gout within two Maori case-control cohorts. In addition, it reports on the developmental stages of a whanau project focussing on the compilation of our whakapapa and collation of information relating to type 2 diabetes within the Parata whanau, which I whakapapa to. My conducting this research in light of me being Maori is also considered: much of the prevailing literature on Maori and science describes science as the handmaid of colonisation, and singles out genetic research as being "neo-colonial". I reject those that would label me a "sell-out" and show how my research is shaped by, and consistent with, the history of my immediate tipuna, and my iwi more generally, since European contact. RA is an autoimmune disease of the joints and affects approximately 1% of the general population. There is currently very little data available on its prevalence in New Zealand although it is thought that it is similar to those of the rest of the world. Gout is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis in Caucasian males and recent data suggests a worldwide increase in prevalence in many populations. Gout is characterised by the deposition of monosodium urate or uric acid crystals in the joints, which produces an inflammatory response. In New Zealand, the prevalence of gout is estimated to be 3% in Caucasians and twice this in Maori. Both RA and gout are complex arthritic diseases and are influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is likely that numerous genetic susceptibility loci are responsible for the genetic components of these diseases. This project tests various genetic regions for susceptibility to or protection against both RA and gout in two separate Maori case cohorts and a common control cohort. To do this, the confounding factor of population stratification, resulting from population admixture, was overcome via developing a method specific for these Maori cohorts. This tool utilised genotype data from a set of unlinked genome-wide markers and the structure and STRAT software packages, allowing valid case-control studies to be carried out in the presence of population stratification. These data showed that four sub-populations exist in the Maori RA case-control cohort and three in the Maori gout case-control cohort. A number of studies have confirmed the HLA region as the major genetic determinant of autoimmunity and recently, PTPN22 and CTLA-4 variants have been shown to be common to the onset of a number of autoimmune phenotypes. The IDDM6 region on chromosome 18 has also been implicated in type 1 diabetes, RA and autoimmune thyroiditis and contains a number of candidate genes for a role in RA, many of which were investigated in this thesis. Polymorphisms within the PTPN22, CTLA-4, BCL2, SMAD4, DCC, TNFRSF11A, PADI4, CCR5 and CCL3L1 genes were tested for association with RA in the Maori cohort (98 cases and 109 controls) with some significant association results obtained. The HLA-DRB1*02 and HLA-DRB1*08 loci were associated with the protection against and susceptibility for RA, respectively (P = 0.004 and 0.017). The deviation of CCL3L1 copy-number from the cohort mean (two copies) was also associated with the RA development. Copy-number <2 indicated association with protection against RA (P = 0.012) and copy-number >2 indicated association with susceptibility to RA (P = 0.002). However, it must be stressed that these results were obtained without accounting for the presence of population stratification. The organic anion transporter (OAT) and the urate transporter 1 (URAT1) genes, involved in the regulation of blood urate levels, are members of the solute carrier transporter (SLC) family and provide good candidates for a role in gout. A number of polymorphisms within the OAT, URAT1 and the SLC5A8 genes were tested for association with gout in the Maori cohort (72 cases and 109 controls) with some success. The SLC5A8 rs1709189 SNP was significantly associated with gout in this cohort (P = 0.004). Polymorphisms within two alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes were also tested for association due to their role in alcohol metabolism and the association between alcohol consumption and gout. The ADH2 rs1229984 SNP was also significantly associated with gout in this cohort (P = 0.012). These significant results were obtained after population stratification was taken into account. The data presented in this thesis confirm the presence of population stratification in the two Maori case-control cohorts and demonstrate some association of the HLA-DRB1 region and CCL3L1 with RA and the SLC5A8 and ADH2 genes with gout. An extensive whakapapa of our whanau has also been compiled and associated type 2 diabetes information collected. However, this is by no means a completed task and work will continue on this project under the guidance of the Parata whanau.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 77-87).
The cell employs many classes of molecular chaperones to facilitate proteins in adopting the proper structure and preventing non-functional and potentially toxic non-native states. The Clp/Hsp100 family of ATPases are unfolding chaperones that remodel macromolecular complexes and facilitate ATP-dependent protein degradation. They are members of the superfamily of AAA+ enzymes (ATPases Associated with various cellular Activities), which is conserved across all kingdoms of life. Efficient selection of multimeric protein complexes over constituent subunits is key to successful remodeling and disassembly reactions. Using E.coli ClpX as a model for AAA+ ATPases, I characterized the mechanism by which ClpX discriminates between two oligomeric states of one of its natural multimeric substrates, phage MuA tranposase. I elucidated many strategies for ClpX's preference for the assembled Mu transpososome (MuA complex) over unassembled subunits. First, the target substrate makes multiple weak interactions with the AAA+ ATPase via the pore in the conserved ATPase domain and a class-specific auxiliary domain. Second, recognition tags should be at the weaker end of the affinity spectrum to allow effective synergy of multiple tags in the assembled complex. Third, multimeric complexes can "divide the labor" of making these interactions among their subunits. Thus the holistic complex-specific targeting signal is accessible only in the assembled complex. The work of this thesis has provided a framework to understand the design of recognition signals that specify and target macromolecular complexes to unfolding chaperones and remodelers of the AAA+ superfamily.

Resumen

Tiivistelmä. Ongelmat työrauhassa aiheuttavat opettajalle suurta päänvaivaa. Vaikka aiheena työrauha on paljon tutkittu, vähemmän aihetta on tarkasteltu vastikään työelämään siirtyneiden opettajien kannalta tai sukupuolen näkökulmasta. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kartoittaa nuorten mies- ja naisopettajien näkemyksiä työrauhasta ja sen häiriöistä. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan opettajien näkemyksiä siitä, millainen merkitys opettajan sukupuolella on hänen kykyynsä ylläpitää työrauhaa. Tutkimuksen teoreettisessa viitekehyksessä työrauhaa ja sen häiriöitä tarkastellaan erityisesti aloittelevien luokanopettajien näkökulmasta. Lisäksi auktoriteetin käsitettä lähestytään tarkemmin työrauhan ylläpitämisen kannalta. Koulussa nais- ja miesopettajat ymmärretään erilaisiksi paitsi käsityksiltään työrauhasta, myös toimintatavoiltaan työrauhatilanteissa. Tämä tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen ja se on toteutettu laadulliselle tutkimukselle ominaisten käytänteiden mukaisesti. Aineiston olemme keränneet puolistrukturoidun teemahaastattelun avulla kahdeksalta alle viisi vuotta työelämässä olleelta luokanopettajalta. Opettajista neljä oli naisia ja neljä miehiä, ja he työskentelivät pääosin Pohjois-Pohjanmaan alueella. Aineisto analysoitiin sisällönanalyysin avulla. Tutkimustuloksissa nuoret nais- ja miesopettajat käsittivät työrauhan subjektiiviseksi ja tilannesidonnaiseksi ilmiöksi. Työrauhahäiriö määriteltiin työrauhaa päinvastaiseksi asiaksi, jonka syitä haettiin koulun ulkopuolisista ja sisäisistä tekijöistä. Häiriöiden vaikutukset nähtiin erityisesti oppilaiden oppimisessa ja opettajan työhyvinvoinnissa. Siinä missä miesopettajilla häiriöt näkyivät työssä jaksamisen ongelmina, naisilla ne vaikuttivat alentavasti minäkuvaan. Työrauhan ylläpitämisessä nais- ja miesopettajat nähtiin toimintatavoiltaan erilaisina. Häiriöihin puuttumisessa miesopettajien nähtiin käyttävän usein suoraa puhetta ja naisopettajien nojautuvan pehmeämpiin keinoihin. Tehtävänä työrauhan ylläpito koettiin lähtökohtaisesti helpompana miehille ja naisille työläämpänä saavuttaa. Tätä opettajat perustelivat miehen luontaisella auktoriteetilla ja maskuliinisiksi mielletyillä ominaisuuksilla. Tutkimuksen johtopäätöksenä opettajien käsitykset työrauhasta olivat pitkälti nykykoulutuksen ihanteiden mukaisia. Työrauhan merkitystä ja vaikutuksia tarkasteltiin ensisijaisesti oppilaan näkökulmasta, sitten opettajan. Opettajan persoona ja työkokemus nähtiin tärkeimpinä työrauhan edistäjinä, mutta sukupuolen merkityksessä näkyi vahva sukupuoliroolien periytyvyys vuosikymmenten takaa.

Resumen

This study aims to reevaluate Ahmed Midhat&rsquo
s treatises on Ottoman society by revealing his exceptional objectives, which recently have been used in contemporary interdisciplinary studies concerning the 19th century Ottoman social transformation. In view of that, the thesis is formed as a re-reading of Ahmed Midhat&rsquo
s etiquette book, titled Avrupa Adab-i MuaSereti yahud Alafranga, according to some recent debates like that of occidentalism, geographic mapping of culture and civilization, the question of cosmopolitanism and elitism, everyday life practices. The most important aim of this thesis study is to expose the ability and the tool-kit of an Ottoman intellectual, who claims himself belong to the Ottoman Nation, making use of the knowledge of the west for domestic politics and arguments in order to propose and create a genuine, self-governing and permanent Ottoman culture. Besides the knowledge of the west, Ahmed Midhat&rsquo
s Alafranga represents a very significant literary form that demonstrates the modern change in the intellectual production in Europe. In that perspective, exposing his motivations behind writing an etiquette manual, a literary form which is related to the modern idea of creating a mechanism of self-control for the individuals, and at large for the society itself, is significant the ways in which these motivations represent the ideas of a Tanzimat intellectual on the modernization of the Ottoman society, considering his sympathy for the Hamidian worldview and modernization projects.

Resumen

Doutoramento em Literatura
Apesar de marcadas por contextos históricos e culturais distintos, é possível observar nas obras de dois dos autores mais significativos da África do Sul e de Moçambique, Zakes Mda e Mia Couto respectivamente, perspectivas semelhantes no que diz respeito à recuperação das memórias históricoculturais e à sua contribuição para a construção e compreensão das identidades pós-coloniais. Através da ficção, Zakes Mda e Mia Couto combinam a ligação da História a factos concretos com a necessidade de revelação associada à memória, criando assim espaços importantes para a discussão de algumas das mais complexas questões colocadas às identidades pós-coloniais. Para além dos contextos políticos, culturais e históricos que caracterizam e distinguem as literaturas sul-africana e moçambicana, tanto Zakes Mda como Mia Couto assumem nas suas obras a necessidade de analisar as identidades pós-coloniais contemporâneas dos dois países através da recuperação das suas memórias históricas.
In spite of the specificities pertaining to South African and Mozambican history and culture, in the novels of two of the most significant literary representatives of those Southern African nations, Zakes Mda and Mia Couto respectively, it is possible to observe similar perspectives regarding the recovery of cultural memories and histories and their contribution toward the construction, development and understanding of postcolonial identities. Through fiction, Zakes Mda and Mia Couto combine history’s concern with concrete facts and memory’s attachment to disclosure, opening important spaces to debate some of the most complex questions posed to African postcolonial identities. Beyond the distinctive political, cultural and historical contexts that have shaped South African and Mozambican literatures, both Zakes Mda and Mia Couto assume in their novels the need to examine contemporary South African and Mozambican postcolonial identities by resorting to the reclamation of their historical memories.

Uppsatsen syftar till en undersökning av Moa Martinsons framställning av männen i serien om Mia Stenman som kan öppna upp en ny tolkning. Genom ett genusperspektiv har jag tittat på strukturen i hur männens utseende och personlighet porträtteras och hur detta påverkar Mia. Sedan har jag skildrat Martinsons politiska liv och behandlat delar av hennes relationer för att uppnå en bättre tolkning. Analysen av ett urval av män i hela serien, mestadels hennes styvfader, då han är den som figurerar mest hela serien igenom, visar på hur olika de framställs. Gemensamt har de allra flesta att de porträtteras mycket negativt, genom att utmåla framträdande drag i ansiktet och en personlighet som inte är så smickrande. De få som inte beskrivs som ovan nämnt, äger i stället en faderlig ton, alternativt är så underlägsna att Mia inte förmår sig att vara elak mot dem. Allt eftersom Mia blir äldre, får hon en mer neutral ton mot männen, trots att hon behåller sin självständighet och står fast vid att hon inte vill gifta sig. Mia lider av en stark svartsjuka som kan ha lett till att hon på äldre dagar får en starkt maskulin sida som är mer aggressiv, ironiskt nog, just mot det maskulina. Männens fysiska existens sammanfaller med det sociala och politiska som sker runt omkring dem i världen. Med anledning av detta skapade Martinson en polemik mot männen, vars identitet hon trampade på när hon som självständig kvinna gav ut en roman, som tillhörde den genre som bara män tidigare blivit publicerade inom. Detta återskapas sedan i serien, genom att Mia varken blir, eller låter sig bli omhändertagen av några män, utom de hon själv väljer, och knappt ens då. Martinsons personliga agenda tränger oupphörligt fram när hon vill stärka kvinnorna och påvisa sanningen ur en kvinnas perspektiv.

Resumen

>Magister Scientiae - MSc
In this study PbSe quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized via the organometallic and aqueous routes. Optical characterization was carried out using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, structural and morphological characterization were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine the composition of the QDs. All the synthesized QDs were found to have emissions within the near-infrared region of the spectrum (≥1000 nm) with most of them being less than 5 nm in size. The aqueous synthesized QDs had a perfect Gaussian emission spectrum with a FWHM of ~23 nm indicating pure band gap emission and narrow size distribution respectively. The QDs were determined to have a cubic rock-salt crystal structure consistent with bulk PbSe. The aqueous synthesized QDs were however not stable in solution with the QDs precipitating after approximately 48 h. The organometallic synthesized QDs were transferred into the aqueous phase by exchanging the surface oleic acid ligands with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid ligands. The ligand exchanged QDs were however stable in solution for over two weeks. The effects of reaction parameters on the optical and structural properties of the organometallic synthesized QDs were investigated by varying the reaction time, temperature, ligand purity, lead and selenium sources. It was observed that larger QDs were formed with longer reaction times, with reactions proceeding faster at higher reaction temperatures than at lower temperatures. Varying the ligand purity was found to have minimal effects on the properties of the synthesized QDs. The lead and selenium sources contributed largely to the properties of the QDs with lead oxide producing spherical QDs which were smaller compared to the cubic QDs produced from lead acetate. TBPSe was seen to produce smaller QDs as compared to TOPSe. The cytotoxity of the synthesized QDs was determined following the WST-1 cell viability assay with the QDs being found to be non-toxic at all the tested concentrations

Resumen

Les mono-couches auto-assemblées (SAMs) sont des systèmes de choix pour le développement de plateformes moléculaires aux propriétés physico-chimiques contrôlées. Il s’agit de monocouches organisées de molécules bi-fonctionnelles. Ces molécules se composent d’une fonction terminale modulable, séparée d’un groupement d’ancrage par un espaceur adapté. Ainsi, les propriétés des SAMs peuvent être ajustées pour le développement de systèmes électroniques moléculaires ou de capteurs (bio)-chimiques. De plus, des structurations chimiques supplémentaires peuvent être induites par irradiation.Les méthodes d’irradiation les plus courantes impliquent des particules de haute énergie. Les dommages induits résultent de plusieurs mécanismes en compétition (ionisations, excitations, dissociations). Dans cette thèse, les électrons lents (0-20 eV) sont utilisés comme particules primaires, et les processus d’interaction électron-SAM sont étudiés afin d’identifier les résonances d’attachement électronique. Aux énergies concernées, des processus dissociatifs sélectifs et efficaces peuvent être mis à profit pour proposer des stratégies d’irradiation menant à des modifications chimiques contrôlées et optimisées.Des SAMs modèles de thiols sur or sont étudiées par une technique de spectroscopie vibrationnelle de forte sensibilité de surface, la spectroscopie de perte d’énergie d’électrons lents (HREELS). Elle permet à la fois de caractériser les SAMs et de sonder les processus d'interaction électron-molécule. Les résultats obtenus concernent les : 1) SAMs aromatiques modèles de terphénylthiol (HS-(C₆H₄)₂-C₆H₅), stabilisables par réticulation sous irradiation. Une caractérisation vibrationnelle poussée de la SAM avant et après irradiation, en portant une attention particulière au comportement des modes d’élongation ν(CH), a permis d’opposer les processus de réactivité induite à 1, 6 et 50 eV.2) SAMs d’acide mercaptoundécanoïque (HS-(CH₂)₁ ₀ -COOH), les fonctions acides terminales permettant par exemple le greffage de peptides. L’interface SAM / environnement (COO-/COOH, eau résiduelle) a été caractérisée grâce à la forte sensibilité des modes d’élongation ν(OH) aux liaisons hydrogène. La démarche mise en place peut être facilement transposée à d’autres systèmes
Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) are good candidates to develop molecular platforms with controlled physico-chemical properties. A SAM is an ordered monolayer of bi-functionnal molecules. These molecules consist of an adjustable terminal function, separated from a headgroup by a chosen spacer chain. Thus, SAMs properties can be adjusted for the development of molecular electronic systems or (bio)-chemical sensors. Furthermore, additional chemical structuration can be induced by irradiation.Most current methods of irradiation involve high energy particles. The induced damages result from several competitive mechanisms (ionisations, excitations, dissociations). In this thesis, low energy electrons (0-20 eV) are used as primary particles, and the interaction processes between electrons and SAMs are studied in order to identify electron attachment resonances. At the associated energies, selective and effective dissociative processes can be induced to propose irradiation strategies leading to controlled and optimized chemical modifications.Model SAMs of thiols on gold are studied by a vibrational spectroscopy technique of strong surface sensibility, high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). It allows at the same time to characterize SAMs and to probe electron-molecule interaction processes. The result obtained deal with : 1) Aromatic model SAMs of Terphenyl-thiol (HS-(C₆H₄)₂-C₆H₅), which can be stabilized by cross-linking under irradiation. Induced reactive processes at 1, 6 and 50 eV were compared and opposed, thanks to an advanced vibrational characterization of the SAM before and after irradiation, and by paying a particular attention to the stretching mode ν(CH) behaviour.2) Mercaptoundecanoic acid SAMs (HS-(CH₂)₁ ₀ -COOH), whose terminal functions allow for example the peptide anchoring. The interface SAM / environment (COO-/COOH, residual water) was characterized thanks to the strong sensitivity of the stretching modes ν(OH) to hydrogen bonding. The approach that was developped can be easily transposed to other systems

Resumen

This thesis examines the lives of Senior Chief Koinange wa Mbiyu and his eldest son, Peter Mbiyu Koinange. It joins with the growing rise of biographical work within African Studies. It challenges the historical understanding of late colonial rule in Kenya and the role of official myth in pre- and post-independence historical narratives. Koinange wa Mbiyu was the patriarch of one of the most respected, wealthy, and politically influential Kikuyu families of Kenya's colonial and post-colonial period. His eldest son, Peter Mbiyu, received a prestigious education abroad and returned to Kenya where he became a prominent leader for African independent education African political action. Koinange and Peter bear frequent mention in academic discussions of collaboration, discontent, nationalism, and militancy in Kenya's colonial era. This thesis challenges the widely held narrative that Koinange and Peter embraced militant politics opposing colonial rule during the 1940s. While fitting larger understandings of decolonisation, it is not an honest depiction of the Koinange's political actions. As a result, this thesis is intentionally a work of revisionist history that looks to the profound changes in the culture and nature of colinal rule during the 1940s, rather than a political shift in the Koinanges. In addition to challenging the prevalent understanding of Koinange and Peter's political action, this thesis raises a number of areas - gender, wealth, elite and family dynamics, to name a few - where the Koinange family history would further illuminate the historical understanding of the colonial era. This thesis is a dual biography, crafted as a work of narrative history. It challenges a breadth of current scholarship, utilizing the largest collection of pre-Mau Mau archival records to date. This thesis engages with a number of historiographical challenges related to biography, the individual, the family, and the challenges of oral history shaped in the crucible of cultural crisis.

Resumen

I första kapitlet av Mor gifter sig begår flickan Mia ett regelbrott. Uppsatsen pekar på hur detta är den första av en rad motståndsstrategier som hon anammar i syfte att skapa sig ett större handlingsutrymme eller, om så bara för en stund, frigöra sig från underordning och känslor av förnedring. I romanen har jag identifierat fyra nyckelscener, där Mia använder sig av lika många strategier för att undkomma situationer av maktlöshet. Det är fyra avgörande scener på så vis att de har betydelse för såväl Mias som för romanens utveckling. Förutom att identifiera vilka motståndsstrategierna är, undersöker uppsatsen genom en närläsning av romanen med särskilt fokus på de fyra nyckelscenerna vad strategierna fyller för funktion och vad det säger om den makt som Mia gör motstånd mot. Ebba Witt-Brattström går grundligt igenom romanen med avseende på kvinnoliv och patriarkala strukturer i sin avhandling Moa Martinson, men rör även vid de klassrelaterade maktstrukturerna. Det är dessa senare som denna uppsats främst sätter fokus på. Med ett litteratursociologiskt perspektiv undersöks de teman av maktlöshet och motstånd som romanen rymmer. Med stöd i främst Lars Furulands Statarna i litteraturen och Nina Björks Fria själar, men även i en LO-rapport om arbetarrörelsens kvinnliga pionjärer, fogas romanens hierarkier in i sitt ekonomiskhistoriska perspektiv. Det litteraturhistoriska perspektivet har Witt-Brattströms avhandling och Eva Adolfssons essäer i Hör jag talar! varit behjälpliga med. För analysdelens resonemang om makt och maktlöshet, slutligen, har Michel Foucaults maktkritiska teorier i Övervakning och straff, samt i artikeln ”Makt och upplysning”, varit värdefulla.

Resumen

Program planning is a vital activity in any organization. Over the years, different models and frameworks of program planning have been studied in adult and distance education. However, little research has been done in this field from a gender perspective. This then was the challenge which this study sought to address. To investigate this problem, this case study employed qualitative research methods including interviews, observations and document analysis. This research study sought to understand how gender-sensitivity could become a part of adult education program planning in a distance education organization. Therefore the study focused on the planning process of the Master of Business Administration/Master of Public Administration (MBA/MPA) program which is offered at Indira Gandhi National Open University, India in partnership with the Global Learning for Development (a pseudonym for an international educational institution promoting distance education for development). The study was informed by both previous and current staff members from the Global Learning for Development organization. The findings of the study revealed that Global Learning for Development organization had begun implementing gender-sensitive policy in program planning through its internal processes of shared responsibility and decision-making. In particular, it has begun to create strategies and practices for actively engaging men in gender-equality discourses within the organization's policy and program planning interventions. However, the research established that in the MBA/MPA program, little attention was being paid to women learners' differing needs and interests. Following the results of the study, the researcher proposed a general gender-sensitive program planning framework for the distance education planning process inspired by the Harvard Analytical and the Moser Frameworks of gender analysis. In each eight steps of the proposed framework, a gender perspective is identified, and the analysis applied to data on the Global Learning for Development's program planning process. The proposed framework should be viewed as a flexible tool. The study not only contributes a gender perspective to program planning theory but it also provides a framework designed to be applied in actual practice. In addition to the proposed framework, the study recommends further research focused on improving the current practice in program planning are offered.

Resumen

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Historia.
El objetivo que perseguimos en la presente tesis, es intentar demostrar la existencia de un mito que nace de la lucha desplegada por el movimiento Mau Mau de Kenya, en contra de la administración colonial. Paradojalmente, en este movimiento de liberación parecen interactuar dos mitos que surgen de la realidad socio cultural del país. Uno de ellos nace desde la propaganda ejercida por la autoridad colonial -y nativos que la apoyan-, temerosa de perder sus prerrogativas y que por lo mismo busca destacar los aspectos más negativos del grupo, postura que se mantendrá, por razones similares, con los gobiernos post independentistas.

Resumen

This thesis is a collection of poems. These are lyric poems. Animystic poets like Christopher Okigbo and Wole Soyinka are the principal models in terms of style. Animystic poetry projects ideas and emotions in a hallucinatory and profoundly visionary manner. The collection has a variety of themes such as marginality, identity, history, and domestic abuse. Diverse language registers are used in the poems in order that the setting of each poem, whether historical or contemporary, is realised.

Resumen

The Kikuyu, the largest ethnic group in Kenya, resisted colonial authority, which culminated into what became known as Mau Mau, led by the Kenya Land Freedom Army. During this time, the British colonial government imposed laws limiting their access to land, politics, and independence. The turbulent 1950s in Kenyan history should be considered a revolution because of its violent nature, the high level of participation, and overall social change that resulted from the war. I compared many theories of revolution to the events of the Mau Mau movement. Then, I explained the contention for land in the revolution, the role of women, and the place of Mau Mau in modern historiography. I concluded that Mau Mau should be considered a revolution even though its representation during the war and misunderstandings after independence did not classify it as such.

Resumen

Mau Mau var en illegal upprorsmakande organisation i Kenya, sprungen ur det Afrika främjande partiet Kenya African Union under mitten av 1900-talet då Kenya var en brittisk koloni. Mau Maus anhängare kom från den etniskt kenyanska folkgruppen kikuyu som medelst våld ville uppnå målet att skapa ett kikuyukontrollerat Kenya fritt från vita européer. Britternas svar på Mau Mau blev upprorsbekämpning vilken av britterna anses lyckad och präglades av deportering av civila. Undersökningen besvarar frågan huruvida Galulas teori om upprorsbekämpning hade varit tillämpbar på konflikten i Kenya genom en fallstudie på britternas agerande utifrån Galulas teori. För att identifiera likheter och skillnader mellan empiri och teori används textanalys samt Gordon McCormicks Magiska Diamant som ett analys- och operationaliseringsverktyg. Resultatet av fallstudien visar att Galulas teori hade kunnat tillämpas av britterna och genererat en, för britterna, framgångsrik upprorsbekämpning.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram analisar a quantidade e a composição química do precipitado formado pelos cimentos ProRoot MTA, MTA Branco, MTA BIO e Portland branco, após imersão em tampão fosfato salino (PBS); avaliar a interface cimento-dentina e, paralelamente, analisar o pH e a liberação de íons cálcio a partir dos cimentos empregados. As coroas de 28 dentes humanos foram removidas e o terço médio das raízes cortados transversalmente para a obtenção de discos radiculares com 2 mm de espessura. Em cada secção, o espaço do canal foi ampliado a fim de obter uma cavidade padronizada com 2 mm de diâmetro. As secções foram divididas aleatoriamente em 5 grupos, sendo as cavidades preenchidas com: ProRoot MTA (Grupo 1), MTA Branco (Grupo 2), MTA BIO (Grupo 3), CP1: Cimento de Portland branco com 20% de óxido de bismuto (Grupo 4), e CP2: Cimento de Portland branco com 20% de óxido de bismuto e 10% cloreto de cálcio (Grupo 5). Em seguida, as amostras foram colocadas em recipientes plásticos contendo 15 mL de PBS e levadas à estufa (37ºC) por um período de 2 meses. A solução tampão foi substituída a cada 5 dias. A cada substituição, os precipitados foram colhidos, lavados, dessecados e pesados. Aos 5, 15, 25 e 35 dias, a solução foi coletada para medição do pH e da concentração de íons cálcio. Ao final dos 2 meses, as amostras foram processadas para avaliação, em MEV, da interface cimento-dentina. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente em um nível de significância de 5%. Em todas as amostras foi observada a formação de precipitados de apatita carbonatada e a presença de uma intercamada na interface cimento-dentina. A partir da intercamada, foram observados prolongamentos penetrando nos túbulos dentinários. O ProRoot MTA e o MTA BIO formaram maior quantidade de precipitados, geraram os valores de pH mais altos e a maior concentração de íons cálcio em todos os períodos de avaliação. O ProRoot MTA, o MTA Branco, o MTA BIO e o cimento Portland branco têm a capacidade de dissolver alguns de seus componentes e propiciar a precipitação de apatita carbonatada, promovendo a formação de uma intercamada com prolongamentos que penetram nos túbulos dentinários. The aim of this study was to analyze the amount and the chemical composition of the precipitate formed by ProRoot MTA, White MTA, MTA BIO and white Portland cements, after immersion in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), to evaluate the cement-dentine interface and to analyze the pH and the calcium ions release. The crowns of 28 human teeth were removed and the middle third of the roots was sectioned transversally in order to obtain 2mm-thickness sections. In each section, the space of the canal was enlarged to obtain 2mm-diameter standardized cavities. The samples were randomly divided in 5 groups, and the cavities filled with: ProRoot MTA (Group 1), White MTA (Group 2), MTA BIO (Group 3), white Portland cement with 20% of bismuth oxide (CP1) (Group 4), and white Portland cement with 20% of bismuth oxide and 10% calcium chloride (CP2) (Group 5). The samples were immediately placed in plastic vials containing 15 mL of PBS for 2 months at 37ºC. The PBS solution was collected and replaced every 5 days. After each replacement, the precipitates were collected, washed, desiccated and weighed. Calcium ions release and pH of the collected solution were monitored at 5, 15, 25 e 35 days. The samples were processed for SEM observation. Data obtained were statistically analyzed with 5% level of significance. Precipitates of carbonated apatite were observed in all the samples, along with the presence of an interfacial layer between the cement and the dentinal wall. Tags reproducing demineralized tubular dentin were observed from the interfacial layer. ProRoot MTA and MTA BIO cements produced the overall highest amount of precipitates, reached higher pH values, and released more calcium ions at all time intervals. ProRoot MTA, White MTA, MTA BIO and white Portland cements have dissolved, releasing some of their major components, promoting the precipitation of carbonated apatite and the formation of an interfacial layer with tags.

Resumen

With companies seeking to increase organizational efficiency while promoting prosperous growth, creativity has become one of the most important leadership qualities sought after by employers. This has put a demand on Masters of Business Administration (MBA) graduates to possess creative skills, as well as a dependency for MBA students to acquire a quality MBA education. Although business education has entered into new domains of online learning, the criticism remains that business education does little to foster or strengthen students' creativity skills. Thus, with the evolution of online education arises a need to research the effectiveness of creativity within these new domains. This phenomenological study analyzed MBA alumni's perceptions about the fostering of creativity skills within an online MBA program. A qualitative study was conducted with 25 participants from 3 separate U.S. and internationally based online MBA programs in order to gain insight into the needed improvements and or positive instructional design elements, facilitation practices, and technological media tools that foster creativity in online MBA programs. This study addressed the following research questions through the lens of MBA alumni: 1. What are alumni perceptions regarding facilitation (of instructors) that either enhance and or stifle creativity skills in an online MBA program? 2. What are alumni perceptions regarding instructional design elements (exercises, assignments, and or activities that are built into curriculum) that either enhance and or stifle creativity skills in an online MBA program? 3. What are alumni perceptions regarding technological media that either enhance and or stifle creativity skills in an online MBA program?

Among the findings of this study was the discovery of several themes that concur with experiences that foster creativity skills in online MBA programs: 1. Informal and flexible instructors and course content equates creative learning opportunities. 2. Various active facilitating methods foster a learning process. 3. Latitude of creative learning is enhanced by the freedom and flexibility of students' choices. 4. Program content and delivery are driving factors in incorporating new knowledge and or creativity skills. 5. Technological media tools and opportunities that are driven by the student lead to the learning and practicing of creativity.

Resumen

This thesis studies the role of the German state of Bavaria both on a national and European level. The purpose of this study is to investigate how a state with as much tradition and patriotism as Bavaria is handling its position in the European Union – at a time when there is an ever increasing number of anti-EU political parties as well as a financial crisis. The material being used ranges from constitutions to newspaper articles and even entire books which cover Bavaria’s position in its own country as well as in the EU. The aim of this study is remain as coherent to the present as possible. This study is not meant to be historical; however, in order to get an understanding of the role of Bavaria, some references to the past are necessary. After studying the state’s status and its goals and its achievements in Germany and the EU, the hypothesis suggests that Bavaria plays an important role politically and economically both in Germany as well as in the EU. Furthermore, this study concludes that Bavaria and its government are consequently involved in EU-related matters and that the state is more at an advantage than at a disadvantage by being a member of the European Union.

Resumen

This thesis interrogates the role of British conceptions of race, gender, and the body in the detention camps that Britain established in Kenya during the Mau Mau Emergency (1952-1960). It aims to reframe the ways we consider the violence that occurred in these camps. To date, scholars have been largely uncritical about the ways in which masculinity operated during the Emergency. They have not reflected on the way British masculinity affected—and was affected by—the colonial sphere. Those that have considered gender have generally assumed that static, timeless notions of manhood were imported to Kenya, and that tropes about manliness were utilized unidirectionally by colonizers against colonized. In contrast, this thesis argues that Mau Mau detention camps amplified the hierarchy of racialized masculinity in Kenya to new extremes, resulting in physical and mental torture of tens of thousands of detained Africans. Importantly, British men’s attempts to define and control African detainees’ minds and bodies according to their preconceptions of race, gender, and the body ran jointly with colonial administrators’ efforts to police their own officer corps. Understanding how British men conceived the masculine body—particularly as it related to its racialization (or lack thereof)—is imperative if we are to make sense of the violence done against African men in the Mau Mau camps. This study accordingly begins by sketching the role of masculinity in the British Empire— particularly as it pertained to the surveillance of the Empire’s colonial troops—and then proceeds to examine the implications of masculinity in Kenya before and during the Emergency. Ultimately it argues that the British did not possess the cultural scripts necessary to sufficiently make sense of what they called Kenyan “primitivism.” In the Mau Mau oathing rituals the colonizers saw African behaviors that flouted the gender norms the British understood as necessary to their colonial endeavour. Many of these norms were informed by codes of racial and sexual purity. As a result, the British widely viewed Kenyan oath takers as culturally unintelligible, as “unreal” bodies governed by illegitimate expression. During the Emergency, violence became the overwhelming British response to this conundrum.

La importancia de la pequeña y mediana empresa en la generación de empleo en Chile es de amplio conocimiento, por cuanto son ellas las que lo sustentan y han sido fundamental para el crecimiento del país. Esta situación ha significado que preocuparse de ellas, sea un problema de Estado. Como una forma de apoyar esta iniciativa la Superintendecia de Bancos e Instituciones Financieras, promovió la creación de una ficha estandarizada de información financiera para las Pymes (Fecupyme), que permite homogenizar la presentación de los estados financieros de esas empresas, y consecuentemente, contar con información más confiable, otorgar a la banca antecedentes estandarizados y representativos de la realidad económica de éstas empresas, perfeccionando el proceso de evaluación de la calidad crediticia, facilitando la identificación, medición de factores de riesgo y la rapidez en la obtención de financiamiento. De los distintos rubros que cubren las pequeñas y medianas empresas, MBA Consultores ha seleccionado como mercado objetivo el rubro industrial de alimentos, por que estas empresas tiene n altas expectativas de crecimiento en operaciones y ventas nacionales y al exterior, apoyada con los acuerdos comerciales que ha firmado Chile en el último tiempo y además por que nuestro equipo ejecutivo posee un gran conocimiento del área, debido a su experiencia laboral. Se analizó una muestra de 73 empresas (determinada estadísticamente) de un universo 13.107 Pymes de la industria de alimentos de la Región Metropolitana, la que fue sometida a una encuesta de investigación de mercado. De las respuestas obtenidas en esta encuesta, se pudo constatar que existe un potencial de 7.850 empresas que no están en condiciones de confeccionar por si solos esta ficha y que se mostraron dispuestos a contratar el servicio para desarrollar la Fecupyme, lo que constituirá nuestra demanda potencial. Se observa además que este tema aún no ha sido implementado por el mercado de asesorías existente, lo que sumado a la necesidad de estas empresas hace factible la prestación de este servicio, siendo estas razones las principales para desarrollar nuestro plan de negocios. La satisfacción de esta necesidad para el segmento donde nos estamos focalizando, permitirá a nuestra empresa ser más eficiente aportando mayor valor a nuestros clientes. Para lograr lo anterior hemos dispuesto la prestación de los servicios de diagnóstico y confección de fecupyme, servicios de contabilidad externa y asesorías de administración financiera y comercial. Por otro lado la mayor parte del equipo posee experiencia laboral en empresas del sector financiero y en Pymes, esto sumado a la red de contactos con clientes de nuestro nicho objetivo, de un socio que trabaja como ejecutivo comercial de una de las empresa de alimentos más grandes de Chile, quién posee una extensa cartera de clientes con los cuales ha logrado construir interesantes lazos comerciales y fidelidad, entregándonos mayor confianza en este emprendimiento. El modelo de negocios, esta basado en patrones de procesos que permiten modelar al tipo de empresas Pymes con necesidades de mejorar sus condiciones de financiamiento. Lo anterior permitirá otorgar servicios de consultoría experta a nuestros clientes de manera más expedita y económica, ajustada a la realidad de cada una de ellas y que llevará a MBA Consultores a ser una “empresa competitiva” en la industria de las asesorías especializadas. Además su diseño esta asociado a un modelo de software denominado SDA, Scoring Data Análisis, que permite en corto tiempo realizar un diagnostico, sólo con vaciar información en formatos previamente diseñados y que mediante cálculos en macros y bases relacionales se obtienen los ratios necesarios para la toma de decisión, reduciendo la incertidumbre. El objetivo al cabo de cinco años es lograr una participación de mercado cercana al 3,5%, equivalentes a unas 458 empresas pequeñas y medianas del sector alimentos, que nos entreguen una rentabilidad positiva del negocio. Así, al exigirle a nuestro proyecto, una tasa de retorno requerida del 13,92 % (TRR), en el plazo de 5 años, obtenemos un Valor Actual Neto (VAN) de UF 594.- ($ 10,3 millones), lo que implica una Tasa Interna de Retorno (TIR) de 28,97 %, con lo cual, el capital invertido, se recupera al cabo de cuatro años. Sin embargo, si las actuales condiciones del mercado o de la industria cambian, por ejemplo, los grandes competidores detectan una oportunidad en nuestro nicho y desean enfrentarnos con una guerra de precios o cualquier estrategia agresiva a cualquier costo, hemos considerado que obtener parte del excedente del consumidor, aunque sea en un periodo más reducido, de todas manera justifica el negocio, ya que cualquier ventaja no es fácil de sostener en el largo plazo. Considerando lo último señalado, hemos desarrollado estrategias de salida tanto para los accionistas como para la empresa en su conjunto, evolucionando el negocio, al realizar nuestros servicios para las mismas Instituciones Financieras con las cuales se haya creado una relación positiva, avalada por la calidad del trabajo realizado en nuestro negocio y que ha significado un aporte tanto para las pymes como para el sistema financiero del país.

Esta tese tem como objeto de investiga??o a sinon?mia e a textura, detendose, por um lado, no estudo e na an?lise da sinon?mia como categoria por elo, que se constitui em um mecanismo da coes?o lexical, e, por outro, no seu emprego na textura do texto, examinando a contribui??o da sinon?mia para a textura em textos escritos argumentativos. Para isso, inicialmente, revisa os fundamentos te?ricos fornecidos por estudiosos, especialmente Halliday e Hasan (1976) e Hasan (1984,1989), bem como apresenta a posi??o adotada neste trabalho, no que se refere ? coes?o textual, coes?o lexical, textura e sinon?mia. A seguir, examina as categorias coesivas por elos, propostas para fins de descri??o taxon?mica com o intuito de avaliar a textura; descreve os procedimentos para determinar o grau de textura; e analisa a sinon?mia, com base na concep??o e classifica??o propostas, fornecendo o grau de sinon?mia evidenciado por grupos de textos do corpus: de acad?micos, de profissionais e de escritorescolaboradores de jornal. Os dados s?o apresentados em valores absolutos e relativos, m?dias, desvios-padr?o e coeficientes de varia??o. O relacionamento entre vari?veis ? avaliado pelo coeficiente de correla??o de Pearson e pelo coeficiente de determina??o, para se verificar a contribui??o do grau de sinon?mia na textura no universo textual analisado. Os ?ndices quantitativos resultam na an?lise qualitativa que aponta para a import?ncia da sinon?mia na coes?o textual, n?o s? assegurando a continuidade e a progress?o sem?ntica e organizacional do texto, como tamb?m contribuindo para a sua textura. Assim, os resultados da pesquisa indicam a relev?ncia da sinon?mia como express?o referencial e a sua produtividade na elabora??o de textos opinativos, ressaltando- a como componente coesivo para o sentido do texto. Al?m disso, este estudo contribui pelo modelo te?rico-metodol?gico proposto para o tratamento da sinon?mia como uma categoria por elo por excel?ncia e o seu papel para a textura

Resumen

The stories collected within this thesis are, by and large, tales of loss. To be more specific, the following losses occur: one brother, two lovers, a doting former sister-in-law, one's own health, certain freedoms, (including a room with a view,) life itself (twice,) and innocence, forever gone in an absent-minded moment of brutality. Chronology is toyed with somewhat, more so towards the beginning of this collection, less so towards the end. The opening story, "Three Kitchens," is comparatively unique in that it is the sole work written in the first person. While it fits thematically within the larger whole, it has been placed at the beginning based on this one difference. "Birdsong," a tale of regret centered on not leaving when it is prudent to do so, is the next story. The remaining four stories can be thought of as a pair of twins; "Candelabrum," and "The Becoming of Felix Wagner," both occur in 1961 East Berlin, during the construction of the Berlin Wall, (and are more closely entwined than are the last two stories.) "Hernandez," and "Hank Flowers," occur within the span of a few days in mid-1980's rural Pennsylvania, though are only bound together by the thinnest of threads.

Resumen

The traditional, full-time MBA program environment has become increasingly tumultuous. The many pressures facing business schools, from declining interest of applicants to the burgeoning number of schools and degree formats, have led many to predict that the model cannot continue as is and is ripe for change. Many believe consolidation in the business school marketplace is inevitable and survival is not guaranteed.

Business schools instruct students that, in today’s competitive environment, companies must be able to adapt and quickly respond to changes in the business environment. However, business schools do not seem to have practiced what they preached. Although most business schools would say that they are continuously improving the degree, they likely would agree that most of the changes have been incremental and that the traditional MBA program has remained largely unchanged since its inception. The primary purpose of this study is to explore how the full-time MBA program might be transformed by seeing how four highly ranked business schools would view innovations developed by two leading business schools and whether reengineering the educational model also transforms the business model.

There is a strongly held belief that the traditional two-year, in-person MBA will continue to be relevant but may be sustained only by the top-20 schools. The hundreds of other business schools will be forced to adapt, but the degree and urgency to which they do may vary based on their perception of the school’s standing and their willingness to challenge existing beliefs around their brand image, pride of creation, and entrenched incentives.

Change and adopting innovation do not guarantee success. Likewise, doing nothing does not guarantee failure. Change, however, is inevitable and might happen quicker than business schools anticipate because of market forces. Business schools that have the most to lose already have begun experimenting with innovation outside their reputation-based full-time program. Should the expertise built and lessons learned from this experimentation be incorporated into their full-time programs, the established schools may witness a new pecking order.
