A Legacy of Words: A Discussion of the Frontier Legacy and Expansionist Rhetoric in the Nineteenth Century

January 2017 (has links)
abstract: This paper argues that the use of masculine rhetoric in the expansion of the United States derived from a larger ideological system that glorified masculinity through imperialism. The United States relied on the frontier myth, a belief that asserted that the nation was formed through the struggle of settling the frontier. The American man possessed the strength to conquer the wilderness and the people who already inhabited it. This version of masculinity combined not only elements of nationalism but also of race. As the United States continued to expand its borders through imperialism, the masculine identity associated with the frontier myth persisted in the psyche of the American male. The conquering man became the ideal of the American man, and rhetoric regarding the national need for this figure in the continual expansion of America justified wars of imperialism. In order to observe recurring patterns of masculine rhetoric, this thesis adopts a comparative approach to American imperialism by analyzing two wars separated by time and political climate; the U.S.-Mexican War and the Spanish-American War. Systems of ideology are always embodied by people; consequently this thesis applies a biographical approach to the key political figures who influenced the United States’ route to war. These men serve as examples of the internalization and intersectionality of masculine rhetoric as well as the outward expression of those systems in the form of imperialism. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis History 2017

Apropriação capitalista da terra e a formação da pequena propriedade em Jales-SP /

Nardoque, Sedeval. January 2002 (has links)
Orientador : Ariovaldo Umbelino de Oliveira / Banca: Antonio Thomaz Júnior / Banca: Miriam Claudia Lourenção Simonetti / Resumo: Esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal analisar a apropriação capitalista da terra através dos avanços da frente de expansão e da frente pioneira e a formação da pequena propriedade no município de Jales, Estado de São Paulo. A apropriação ocorreu de forma ilícita por meio da indústria de grilagem de terras no extremo Noroeste Paulista no decorrer do século XX. Em Jales, a apropriação capitalista foi realizada pelo engenheiro Euphly Jalles. Após a década de 1940, Jalles montou estratégias de venda de pequenos lotes de terras a trabalhadores rurais provenientes de outras regiões do Estado e do Brasil, antigos colonos e parceiros. Como estratégias, foram fundadas duas cidades - Jales e São Francisco -, abertas estradas e realizado o parcelamento no pagamento das vendas de terras. Centenas de famílias foram conduzidas a Jales para a realização do sonho da propriedade da terra e, por outro lado, para concretizar os interesses mercantis por meio da extração da renda capitalista da terra realizada pelos especuladores imobiliários. Entre as décadas de 1960 e 1980, muitos pequenos proprietários de terras, que compraram suas propriedades de Euphly Jalles, sofreram ações de despejo e cobrança por novos pagamentos efetuada pelo surgimento de outro proprietário dessas áreas. Essas famílias viveram um verdadeiro drama social. Mesmo assim, houve a manutenção da pequena propriedade, tanto em área como em número, característica do espaço geográfico do município de Jales. / Abstract: This dissertation is mainly aimed to analyse the capitalist seizure of land, through the advance the expansion and pioneers fronts and the small property formation in Jales, a town in the state of São Paulo. The seizure happened illegally, through the industry of faking land documents in the extreme northwest of São Paulo state during the 20th century. In Jales, the capitalist seizure was managed by the engineer Euphly Jalles. After the 1940 decade, Jalles created sale strategies of small pieces of land to rural workers coming from other regions of the state and the country, former workers and partners. Strategically two towns were founded - Jales and São Francisco -, dirt roads were opened and the payments of the lands were divided. Hundreds of families were conducted to Jales in order to fulfill the dream of owning a property and, on the other hand, to achieve the market interest through the extracting capitalist dividends from the land carried out by the real state speculators. Between the 60's and 80's, many small land owners who bought their properties from Euphly Jalles, were sued, being evicted and forced to repay to the real owners of those areas. These families faced a true social drama. However, the small property was maintained both in size and in quantities, typical of the geographical space in Jales. / Mestre

Efeitos da expansão rápida da maxila com aparelho expansor tipo Hyrax : avaliação cefalométrica póstero-anterior e em modelos de estudo /

Chiavini, Paulo Cesar Raveli. January 2004 (has links)
Orientador: Ary dos Santos Pinto / Banca: Ricardo Sampaio Souza / Banca: Adriano Marotta Araujo / Banca: Lídia Parsekian Martins / Banca: Luiz Gonzaga Gandini Junior / Resumo: O propósito do tratamento ortodôntico é atingir uma relação intra-arcos e interarcos equilibrada, saudável, estética e acima de tudo, estável. Um dos problemas comumente encontrados nas más oclusões é a atresia maxilar e mordida cruzada posterior. Este problema tem sido tratado pela expansão lenta, expansão rápida ou pela expansão cirurgicamente assistida. Para o presente trabalho foram avaliados modelos de estudo de 14 crianças com idade entre 7 e 11 anos, sendo 7 do gênero feminino e 7 do masculino, que apresentavam mordida cruzada posterior e necessitavam de expansão rápida da maxila. A terapia para correção desta alteração transversal foi realizada com o aparelho tipo Hyrax que é uma alternativa padrão no tratamento desta má oclusão. Foi observado que a distância entre os primeiros molares superiores e os caninos superiores aumentaram significantemente; o comprimento do arco superior diminuiu e seu perímetro aumentou significantemente. No arco inferior não foram observadas mudanças dimensionais. / Abstract: The aim of an orthodontic treatment is the achievement of a balanced, esthetic and, most of all, stable, intra and inter arches relationship. A common problem observed in occlusion is posterior crossbite and atresic maxilla. This problem may be treated by slow expansion, rapid expansion or surgically assisted expansion. For the present study cast models of 14 children between 7 and 11 years old were evaluated. There were 7 male and 7 female subjects that presented posterior crossbite and needed rapid maxillary expansion. The Hyrax appliance performed the therapy for correction of this transversal alteration, which is a common possibility in the treatment of this malocclusion. It was observed that the distance between the upper first molars and upper cuspids increased significantly; the length of the upper arch decreased and its perimeter increased significantly. At the lower arch there were no dimensional changes. / Doutor

Suggested policies in regard to Suburban expansion into the Urban fringe (the Constantia Village), book 1

Callaghan, Bernard Mark 28 April 2020 (has links)
This study is based on identifying and analysing the problems which arise from suburban expansion into the urban fringe; and on suggesting certain policy measures which could serve as a basis for directing development in such a way as to avoid these problems. The urban fringe is recognized as the contact zone between the city and the countryside. As such, it experiences the major development forces which arise from the growth of the metropolitan population. It is characterised by change and instability; which are reflected in unrealistic land values, speculative land holding, and unproductive use of much of the land. As suburban development encroaches into this zone, so the forces which precede it reach further out into the countryside. Many fringe areas comprise prime farmland and, in some instances, the environmental characteristics of the l and are scenically attractive and offer great opportunities for meeting the outdoor recreational needs of the metropolitan population. The threat to these attributes. constitutes the major problem associated with suburban expansion.

The European Union and expansion - potential borders of the European Union

Dočkalová, Denisa January 2015 (has links)
The current research reviews the topic of the potential future borders of the European Union in great details. It uses the combined methodological approach involving the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the economic, political, geographical, and civilization factors of the EU member countries and its potential members. The analysis particularly focuses on the following potential members: Georgia, Ukraine, Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Turkey, analyzing them based on the mentioned factors to identify the possibility of their accession in the future. The thorough historical background of the current research, as well as the fact that its theoretical foundation lies on the official governmental documents of the EU, its official statistics, and official reports, which express the opinions of the EU legislative bodies, contribute to the credibility and precision of the research, allowing it to reach its main aim: to identify the future potential borders and members of the European Union.

Internt Kunskapsutbyte : Internt kunskapsutbyte inom internationella fastighetsmäklarföretag

Löflund Wikström, Josefin, Wennertorp, Sara January 2014 (has links)
Sammanfattning Titel: Internt kunskapsutbyte – Internt kunskapsutbyte inom internationella fastighetsmäklarföretag Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Josefin Löflund-Wikström &amp; Sara Wennertorp Handledare: Pär Vilhelmson, Maria F. Malama och Ernst Hollander Datum: 2014-06 Syfte: Syftet med vårt arbete är att undersöka hur svenska tjänstebaserade företag på en internationell marknad skapar internt kunskapsutbyte mellan huvudkontor och lokalkontor. Metod: Vi har valt att intervjua ledare inom välkända fastighetsmäklarföretag. För att undersöka hur kunskapsutbytet fungerar på stor geografisk bredd. Vi har gått utanför landsgränser. För att få en djupare förståelse i ämnet har vi använt oss av en intervjuguide. Vilket har gjort att våra intervjuer har varit semistrukturerade. Arbetet är av en kvalitativ art. Resultat &amp; slutsats: Det har i denna studie visat sig att organisationens helhet är viktig för ett gott kunskapsutbyte. Framförallt har företagsuppbyggnad och styrning visat sig vara viktiga byggstenar i skapandet av kunskap. Förslag till vidare forskning: Denna studie visat ett stort gap inom forskningen av kunskapsutbyte. Det behövs liknande studier som vårt arbete inom andra branscher för att öka förståelsen för ämnet. Uppsatsens bidrag: Vi anser att denna uppsats bidrar med en ökande förståelse för det interna kunskapsutbytet inom svenska tjänstebaserade företag verksamma på den internationella marknaden. Nyckelord: Kunskap, Kunskapsutbyte, Kunskapshantering, Expansion, Internationell Expansion, Internationella Företag, Intern Kommunikation
