La tesis aborda como problema de investigación las relaciones entre las dimensiones de la orientación meta y los tipos de orientaciones frente al error en alumnos de posgrado de la maestría en comportamiento organizacional y recursos humanos de una universidad privada. Para responder a esta interrogante se ha efectuado una investigación de tipo aplicada con método descriptivo correlacional. Para la evaluación de la orientación meta se utilizó el Cuestionario Inventario de Orientación Meta de VandeWalle y para la evaluación de la orientación frente al error se utilizó el cuestionario COFE de Rybowiak. El primero reporta para el presente estudio una confiabilidad de .62 utilizando el coeficiente de Cronbach y una validez alta mediante el coeficiente de Aiken. El segundo reporta una validez de .87 utilizando la fórmula de Kuder Richardson. La muestra de estudio estuvo constituida por el 100% de los 75 estudiantes de posgrado en la mención de Comportamiento Organizacional y Recursos Humanos. El estudio encontró que de un total de 24 relaciones entre la orientación meta y la orientación frente al error, existe relación significativa en doce de ellas. La orientación meta aprendizaje correlaciona significativamente con la orientación frente al error, la competencia frente al error, aprendiendo de los errores, tomando riesgos de errores, ocultar errores y tensión frente al error. La orientación meta desempeño correlaciona significativamente con la orientación frente al error, competencia frente al error, pensando sobre errores y aprendiendo de los errores. La orientación meta evitación correlaciona significativamente con la orientación frente al error, ocultar errores, tensión frente al error y aprendiendo de los errores.

Trabajo de suficiencia profesional / En la actualidad las empresas para que logren obtener una identificación propia deben enfocarse en la calidad del servicio al cliente, con el cambio constante de la prestación de servicios y la innovación se tiene que lograr que los clientes se encuentren satisfechos, más aún si es un restaurante donde la calidad es un factor primordial en la empresa. Si en las organizaciones, todos estuvieran conscientes que la calidad es un progreso que de alguna manera asegura la permanencia en el mercado e incrementa las utilidades, puede lograrse que todos conviertan a esta en un estilo de vida, que conlleva en familiarizarse y conocer a los clientes en sus gustos, comodidades, preferencias y lo más importante poder obtener una opinión de ellos para lograr mejoras continuas en la empresa. La empresa Restaurante Campestre SAC durante los periodos abarcados en la investigación decidió mejorar la calidad del servicio al cliente implementando una adecuada adquisición de los insumos, reestructurando su infraestructura y brindando un correcto servicio; con ello se demostró que la influencia de la calidad trajo consigo un incremento monetario en los resultados económicos y financieros de la empresa; de la investigación se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: brindar a sus clientes un servicio moderado pudiendo mejorar la atención hacia los mismos, de la revisión se observa que la inversión fue dirigida a los ambientes del restaurante con la finalidad de mejorar el servicio; respecto a la evaluación financiera, los indicadores demuestran una estabilidad económica, la cual ha ido mejorando. Por último, se determinó que el restaurante viene brindando un buen servicio al cliente lo cual hizo posible que incrementara monetariamente sus ingresos logrando así seguir perfeccionándose.

In the year 1934 a coterie of young men launched the literary magazine Al-Fajr and marked the beginning of the first literarily conscious movement in the Sudan. Both movement and initiators have come to be known by the name of the magazine itself. In this thesis the first attempt to study the Al-Fajr group (or movement) has been made. The study investigates the general and special circumstances in which the Group were nurtured, the private gatherings which led to their appearance and the value of their contribution to modern Arabic literature, with particular reference to their critical and poetic works. In chapter one a survey of the Sudanese literary heritage, including popular and classical literature to the appearance of the Al-Fajr group, has been carried out. This chapter provides the necessary literary background to the Al-Fajr movement. Chapter two traces the literary origins of the Group and describes the evolutionary factors which led to their appearance. Chapter three is devoted to a description of the magazine Al-Fajr; its objective and policy, its collection and the general features of its writings. In chapter four the literary ideas of the Group have been examined and the theoretical and practical aspects of their criticism have been studied. The final chapter deals with the poetry of the Group. It attempts to analyse the content of this poetry, study its form and assess its value in terms of innovation and rejuvenation. The appendix is supplementary to the final chapter. It contains the Arabic text of the poems which have been studied in this chapter.

Women and women’s issues receive a great deal of attention on Al-Jazeera English, increasing the visibility of feminist ideologies in the transnational media and promoting a space for new and greater feminist discourse. This thesis seeks to discover how and why Al-Jazeera undertakes such promotion and what links it possesses to the larger sociopolitical climate of the Middle East as a whole. In pursuit of these goals, the study examines the journalistic content, unconscious style, and linguistic structures used in articles about women on the Al-Jazeera English website to conclude that this attention is primarily supportive of feminist ideologies, though more so with regards to women from areas that fall outside of the regions dominated by the hegemonic Anglo-American media establishment. In circumstances of revolution and change, Al-Jazeera invokes women to highlight their active agency and demonstrate their social power. Where such change is not possible, articles employ more reserved and passive techniques to convey the stagnancy of the situation. When this stagnant situation occurs in the United States or Europe, however, Al-Jazeera journalists express much less sympathy than when similar situations occur in less developed countries. Women from these less developed areas are also highlighted more often in positions of power and influence. Based on this evidence, the study concludes that Al-Jazeera’s attention to women plays a role in a larger movement to develop an ideological culture base without roots in the United States or Europe. By building a feminism tied to local women, Al-Jazeera is providing an alternative to the widespread and diametrically opposed systems of cultural imperialism and stalwart traditionalism. By proving that feminist ideologies can consist of Arab, African, or Indian ideas as much as American or European ones, Al-Jazeera paves the way for discrete ideological development in regions suffering from the aftershocks of cultural appropriation and imperialism. / text

Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude des structures atomiques des phases icosaédriques de type F et leurs dislocations.<br /><br />Dans cette étude nous avons d'abord construit une structure générique permettant de traiter dans un seul schéma les phases icosaédriques de type F connues. Afin de valider ce modèle nous avons synthétisé quelques compositions suggérées par ce dernier. Ces synthèses ont permis entre autres de découvrir deux nouvelles phases quasipériodiques à la stoechiométrie Al66,08Cu21,35Mn8,29Fe4,28 , l'une icosaédrique (métastable) de type F et l'autre décagonale (stable). Elles ont montré, à une composition au-delà de celles déjà étudiées dans le système (Al,Pd,Fe), l'existence d'une phase F-IQC.<br /><br /> Globalement, ces résultats expérimentaux d'études de nouvelles phases icosaédriques ont permis de montrer la fiabilité du modèle : sur les trois essais de nouvelles compositions, deux ont montré l'existence de phases icosaédriques de type F et la troisième a mis en évidence une phase décagonale en relation d'épitaxie canonique avec la phase icosaédrique brut métastable (axe 10 confondu avec un axe 5).<br /><br />Possédant un modèle fiable nous avons donc pu y introduire des dislocations. Nous avons ainsi précisé la géométrie des dislocations à l'échelle atomique, hors de la zone de cœur, dans les phases F-IQC. Dans cette structure nous avons aussi identifié les mouvements des phasons et tenté d'apporter des éléments de réponse aux mouvements de ces dislocations.

This thesis comprises an attempt to re-evaluate the experience and the survival of the indigenous Christian population of al-Andalus. It is a response to two problematic aspects of the historiography, whose authority has only recently begun to be questioned: first, the inordinate focus upon the polemical and problematic mid-ninth-century Cordoban hagiography and apologetic of Eulogius and Paul Albar, whose prejudiced vision has not only been accepted as a source of social history, but also projected onto all Andalusī Christianity to support the second – the assertion that conversion happened early and en masse, and led to their eradication in the early twelfth century. Eulogius and Albar’s account of a Córdoba oppressed and Christians persecuted (a trope herein dubbed the ecclesia destituta) has dominated thinking about the indigenous Christians of al-Andalus, due to its championing by Catholic historians since the texts’ rediscovery and publication in 1574, and by nineteenth-century Spanish nationalists to whose ideological and patriotic purposes it was amenable. The Cordobans’ account is here re-evaluated as regards its value as a historical artefact and its internal problems are outlined. The discrepancies between the picture created by Eulogius and Albar and that of other contemporary reports, and the problematic hagiography, are then explained to some degree by the literary models Eulogius had at his disposal – of primary interest are the classical pagan poetics of Vergil, Horace and Juvenal and the late antique theology of Augustine. Albar’s famous despair at the Arabisation of the Christian youth has, in conjunction with Eulogius’ ecclesia destituta and the relative scarcity of documentary evidence for the Christians of Andalusī territory, formed the crux of assumptions regarding the speed and extent of Arabisation and conversion. In reassessing Richard Bulliet’s ‘curve of conversion’, which seemed on a faulty reading to prove these assumptions, the second part of the thesis seeks to argue that profound Arabisation did not impact until a century later than is thought and resulted not in assimilative decline but in a late cultural flowering, and show the long, and in many places unbroken, survival of indigenous Christian communities in al-Andalus to the early fifteenth century.
