Notre système d’éducation, comme on le connait, est le fruit de la Révolution tranquille des années 1960. S’appuyant sur un principe de démocratisation, le système scolaire est rapidement devenu le levier de développement économique et social d’une société « en retard » par rapport au reste du pays (Proulx et Charland, 2009). Cependant, d’après Lessard (2019), le système scolaire du Québec fait piètre figure en matière d’équité : il est le moins équitable des systèmes canadiens, et ce, pour plusieurs raisons. Depuis la Révolution tranquille, la Loi sur l’instruction publique québécoise (LIP) régit les droits et obligations des élèves et des institutions scolaires, et reconnait également certains droits des parents d’élèves, comme les choix d’écoles au primaire et au secondaire. Ces choix semblent par ailleurs évoluer de manière croissante, en particulier depuis les années 1980. En effet, sur fond de courants politiques et économiques globaux (la Nouvelle gestion publique – NGP, la Gestion axée sur les résultats - GAR, etc.), et aussi nationaux et locaux (la Loi sur l’instruction publique du Québec, politiques municipales et urbaines diverses, etc.), ces pratiques de choix tendent à profiter d’une conjoncture favorable qui stimule leur montée (Bélanger, 2011; Turmel, 2014; Felouzis et coll., 2013). En outre, ils feraient partie des leviers favorisant ce que Felouzis et ses collègues (2013) appellent les « marchés scolaires » (Felouzis et coll., 2013). Dans les marchés scolaires, les prix ne constituent pas une mesure de la qualité éducative. La relation offre-demande éducative s’appuie alors sur l’élaboration de jugements sur la qualité perçue, une qualité non mesurable basée sur des critères sociaux différents en fonction des intentions éducatives et origines sociales variées des familles (Felouzis et coll., 2013, p. 4). Le fait est que ces jugements différenciés participent ultimement à la construction de possibilités de choix inégalement réparties entre les familles. Considérant que le paysage scientifique québécois abordant les processus de choix scolaires est, à ce jour, relativement vierge, cette thèse a donc pour visée d’éclaircir la question et donner une intelligibilité à la construction de jugements de qualité d’une bonne école secondaire. Embrassant une posture interprétative compréhensive, cette thèse s’inspire de la sociologie interactionniste de van Zanten (2009) sur les choix scolaires de même que de la sociologie de la famille (de Singly, 2010; Déchaux, 2010; Valois, 2009), tout en portant une attention particulière au poids des capitaux dans la sociologie de la reproduction sociale selon la perspective de Bourdieu (1979) et Bourdieu et Passeron (2011). Basée sur vingt-sept entretiens semi-dirigés qui ont été conduits auprès de parents résidant dans cinq arrondissements montréalais (Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montréal-Nord, Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie), l’analyse inductive des données révèle une variabilité importante des processus de choix parentaux, élaborés en fonction de conditions, de ressources différenciées, de perceptions subjectives et contraintes objectives. En effet, celles-ci sont fortement indexées en fonction de l’offre de services éducatifs dans les secteurs de résidence des familles et conditionnées par la position socioéconomique des parents et le statut EHDAA des enfants. Il a également été constaté que les qualités sociales de l’établissement sont souvent, spécialement aux yeux des parents de classes moyennes, corrélées avec les qualités de l’instruction. Ce constat a été noté chez plusieurs répondants, bien que seuls ceux disposant de ressources économiques et culturelles suffisantes soient en mesure de mettre en place des stratégies pouvant satisfaire leurs préférences et leur vision de la qualité éducative souhaitable pour leur enfant. / The Quebec education system is based on a democratization principle and rapidly became a lever for the economic and social development of a society “lagging behind” the rest of the country (Proulx & Charland, 2009). However, according to Lessard (2019), while being above average compared to the rest of OECD countries regarding performance, the Quebec school system does much worse with regards to equity: it is the least equitable of the Canadian systems. Since the Quiet Revolution, the Quebec Education Act (Loi sur l'instruction publique) regulates the rights and obligations of students and institutions, and also recognizes certain rights to the parents. School choice, for elementary or high school, is among the individual rights of parents recognized by the Education Act. Throughout the world, many global political and economic trends (New Public Management or NPM, accountability, etc.) as well as provincial and local policies (the Education Act in Quebec and various municipal and urban policies, etc.) stimulate the growth of choice practices, and the situation in Quebec, especially in Montreal, is no different. Researchers have yet to meaningfully address school-choice processes, but international studies have shown tangible links between the high school-choice processes of middle- and upper-class parents and increased inequality through social segregation (Felouzis et coll., 2013; van Zanten, 2009a). This dissertation aims to clarify the current debates on school choice in Montreal and highlights parental perceptions related to the singular feelings, experiences, and trajectories entailed in the choice of high schools. This research is essentially based on previous work by Felouzis et coll. (2013) and Karpik (2007) on judging quality of a public service. It also borrows conceptual notions from the sociology of the contemporary family (Singly, 2010) as well as studies by Déchaux (2009) and Valois (2009). Furthermore, following Bourdieu (1979) and Bourdieu and Passeron (2012), it illuminates the importance of cultural, economic, and social capital in the judgment and decision-making process of parents when they attempt to choose the right high school for their child. Finally, it feeds off of the interactionist sociology of van Zanten (2009) on school-choice decisions. The study first examined the decision-making processes of twenty-seven Montreal parents whose child is transitioning from elementary to high school. It then studied the educational supply in the five Montreal boroughs in which these parents reside: Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montréal-Nord, and Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie. This thesis also embraces comprehensive and interpretive sociology and is based on semi-structured interviews (Kaufmann, 2011; Boutin, 1997). The inductive data analysis revealed great variability in parents’ school-choice processes following their differentiated conditions and resources. Only some parents could actually consider enrolling their child in the school of their choice. The limitations observed came down to places available in the institutions, the successful completion of a qualifying examination, the payment of relatively high school fees, the limited geographical access to certain schools or their child’s handicaps, social maladjustments or learning difficulties. Finally, the results extracted from the analysis highlight that the subjective perceptions and objective constraints that come into play in the school-choice process are also strongly conditioned by the supply of educational services in the families’ area of residence where there is indeed a differentiated access to education services. It shows that families living in these areas do not all have access to the same provision, to the same “quality” of education services and that the possibility of choosing a school or relocating to a given area of residence is tied to family income.

Nello studio si approfondisce il rapporto tra due realtà: l’una giuridica, il consenso matrimoniale, e l’altra appartenente all’ambito del fatto, la condotta pre e para suicidaria. La necessità concreta è stata comprendere in modo univoco l’interazione tra la libertà del consenso – quale dimensione fondamentale affinché questo possa dispiegare effetti giuridici – ed alcune condotte poste in essere da uno dei due nubenti o da terzi, così da valutare come queste possano incidere sulla validità dell’atto. Si sono considerati due capi di nullità – il metus ed il gravis defectus discretionis iudicii – che dottrina e giurisprudenza considerano quelli che coinvolgono la facoltà volitiva, approfondendo nella prima parte il rapporto tra le condotte di fatto e la libertà esterna mentre nella seconda in merito alla libertà interna. Il metodo è stato quello di analisi della giurisprudenza quale fonte che permette sia di interpretare la norma sia di precisarne ed incarnarne le fattispecie. Conclusione è che le condotte pre e para suicidarie non possano inserirsi tra le circostanze che rendono manifesta la nullità del matrimonio in relazione alla libertà del consenso, infatti non è possibile sostenerne il valore presuntivo ma è necessario, volta per volta, confrontarle con gli altri fatti riportati nelle tavole processuali. / The study examines the relationship between two realities: one legal, marriage consent, and the other belonging to the context of the fact, pre and para suicidal conduct. The concrete need was to understand in a univocal way the interaction between the freedom of consent - as a fundamental dimension for this to have legal effects - and some behaviors put in place by one of the two engaged or by third parties, so as to evaluate how these can affect on the validity of the deed. Two heads of nullity have been considered - the Grave fear and the Lake of discretion of judgment - which doctrine and jurisprudence consider those that involve the willful faculty, deepening in the first part the relationship between conduct and external freedom while in the second on the internal freedom. The method was to analyze the jurisprudence as a source that allows both to interpret the law and to specify and embody the cases in point. The conclusion is that the pre- and para-suicidal behaviors cannot be inserted among the circumstances that make the nullity of the marriage manifest in relation to the freedom of consent, in fact it is not possible to support the presumptive value but it is necessary, every time, to compare them with the other facts. reported in the procedural tables.

This study investigates, via the socio-rhetorical approach, how the Jewish-Christian conflict that occurred during the formative period of early Christianity, and the environment contemporary to the writing of John, took shape around three main questions to which the researcher's answers are given. The event described in John 9 is an historical and significant illustration of the conflict. Jesus is shown rhetorically, by the writer, as the Son of Man, in whom "divine reality" operates away from the temple or other traditionally sacred places like the synagogue, and finds a new locality in the persona of Jesus himself. From a polemical view, John endeavours to portray Jesus as holy man, the only one to mediate heavenly and earthly realities, and that is why Jesus is presented as the real locus of the encounter between God and human beings, a locus of the divine presence, or "the conduit for the transmission of the divine." / New Testament / MTH (NEW TESTAMENT)

Une part importante de l’activité de communication humaine est dédiée au récit d’événements (fictifs ou non). Ces récits doivent être cohérents et intéressants pour être pertinents. Dans le domaine de la génération automatique de récits, la question de l’intérêt a souvent été négligée, ou traitée via l’utilisation de méthodes ad hoc, au profit de la cohérence des structures narratives produites. Nous proposons d’aborder le processus de création des récits sous l’angle de la modélisation quantitative de critères de pertinence narrative via l’application d’un modèle cognitif de l’intérêt événementiel. Nous montrerons que cet effort de modélisation peut servir de guide pour concevoir un modèle cognitivement plausible de génération de narrations. / Humans devote a considerable amount of time to producing narratives. Whatever a story is used for (whether to entertain or to teach), it must be relevant. Relevant stories must be believable and interesting. The field of computational generation of narratives has explored many ways of generating narratives, especially well-formed and understandable ones. The question of what makes a story interesting has however been largely ignored or barely addressed. Only some specific aspects of narrative interest have been considered. No general theoretical framework that would serve as guidance for the generation of interesting and believable narratives has been provided. The aim of this thesis is to introduce a cognitive model of situational interest and use it to offer formal criteria to decide to what extent a story is relevant. Such criteria could guide the development of a cognitively plausible model of story generation.

Die Dissertation befasst sich mit der juristischen Problematik, ob ein Rechtsbehelf anzuerkennen ist, der es Anspruchsgegnern ermöglicht, in lauterkeitsrechtlichen Unterlassungsstreitigkeiten Verfahren des einstweiligen Rechtsschutzes zu initiieren. Ein solcher Rechtsbehelf ist für Anspruchsgegner bislang nicht anerkannt. Dies stellt sich als sehr problematisch dar, da Eilverfahren im Lauterkeitsrecht eine sehr hohe Bedeutung zukommt und Anspruchsgegner in diesen Verfahren signifikant benachteiligt werden. Dieser Umstand begründet auch eine erhebliche Gefahr von Fehlentscheidungen zu Lasten der Anspruchsgegner. Im Wettbewerb kann diesen Fehlentscheidungen große Bedeutung zukommen, weil durch sie beispielsweise der Vertrieb neuer innovativer Produkte untersagt werden kann. Die Arbeit kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass ein entsprechender Rechtsbehelf anzuerkennen ist, da er dem Anspruchsgegner eine Möglichkeit verschafft, sich wirksam vor schädigenden Fehlentscheidungen zu schützen und damit der Verwirklichung der verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben prozessualer Waffengleichheit und effektiven Rechtschutzes dient. / The dissertation deals with the juristic problem whether a legal remedy is to be recognized which enables opponents to initiate procedures of interim legal protection in disputes regarding injunctive relief in the field of unfair competition law. Such a legal remedy is not recognized for opponents up to now. This appears to be very problematic, as preliminary proceedings are of high importance in the field of unfair competition law and opponents are being significantly disadvantaged in these procedures. This fact also founds a considerable danger of wrong decisions at the expense of the opponents. In competition these wrong decisions may be of great importance as, for example, the distribution of new and innovative products can be prohibited by them. The work comes to the conclusion that a corresponding legal remedy is to be recognized, because it provides the opponent with an effective option to protect itself from damaging wrong decisions and it serves the realization of the constitutional requirements of procedural equality of opportunity and effective legal protection.

The ability to think critically is considered an essential skill of nursing graduates and competent nursing practice. Yet, the literature reports that teachers are having difficulty teaching for critical thinking and that critical thinking is lacking in new nursing graduates. This research study sought to identify barriers to the implementation of critical thinking teaching strategies by nursing faculty currently teaching in generic baccalaureate programs in Tennessee. Surveys were mailed to 262 nursing faculty; 194 were returned, and 175 were usable. Students' attitudes and expectations represented the single greatest barrier to the implementation of critical thinking teaching strategies, followed by time constraints and the perceived need to teach for content coverage. Recommendations to support and encourage faculty to teach for critical thinking are outlined.

This thesis examines the missiological writings of Orlando E. Costas (1943-1987), particularly The Church and Its Mission: A Shattering Critique from the Third World (1974); Theology of the Crossroads in Contemporary Latin America (1976); Christ Outside the Gate (1982); and Liberating News: A Theology of Contextual Evangelization (1989). From the early 1970s until his death in 1987 he wrote over 130 articles and 12 books in both Spanish and English that addressed key missiological concerns. A careful reading of a selection of Costas's texts oriented around a hymn, a gospel song, a psalm, and a poem provides the shape of this thesis. This thesis argues that Costas formulated a Third World evangelical missiology. Chapter one investigates what Costas's autobiographical material expressed about his positions on conversion, Protestant evangelicalism, missiology, and those living on the ‘periphery' of life. Chapter two recognises his commitment to the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean in particular and the Third World in general. Chapter three explores Costas's analysis of the Latin American Protestant Church in a revolutionary situation in the continent and chapter four examines his survey and critical appraisal of Latin American liberation theology. Chapter five recognizes the pastoral shape of Costas's missiology. Chapter six explores his critical interaction with two more conservative evangelical missiological positions, the Church Growth Movement and Peter Beyerhaus and the Frankfurt Declaration, and chapter seven surveys the discussion within the international evangelical community regarding the relationship between evangelism and social responsibility. Chapter eight examines Costas's Liberating News as an expression of Third World evangelical missiology. Chapter nine considers the theological issue of penal substitutionary atonement and his missiology. The thesis concludes with an appraisal of the issues and contributions of Costas's Third World evangelical missiology to current missiological discussion.

本論文出自於對於康德道德哲學中同時兼具先驗性與實踐性之二重關係的研究興趣，因而於此藉由釐清康德哲學中的崇高情感與道德法則之間的關連是如何被談論的，嘗試以此整理出一些在理解上的關鍵線索。在這條主軸的引導之下，此處採取對其所涉及的相關文獻研讀與理解作為基本的脈絡開展。本論文並依從前批判期與批判期的區分將概略畫分為兩個部分︰ 第一部分︰一開始即企圖從對康德批判期美學談論的背景進行文獻上的考察，從中導引出對於康德美學與其形上學內在本有的關連，以及對絕對者/超感知者對康德方法論上的影響。接著審視《觀察》作為此時期思想實驗的產物，又是如何在康德自身的評判(即其《評著》)居於一個重要轉向的地位，在其中康德將美感與崇高感與德行關連起來的道德情感論述方，何以導向對主體意識能力的考察，而自由─自我意識與道德法則之間的關連也在這當中被觸及。 第二部份︰主要關注於康德於《基礎》與《第二批判》中「對法則的敬重」的兩重性所關涉到的一種特殊主體意識活動─即「道德意識」─的談論，其具體意涵又何以關連到康德道德性之理性奠基的先驗要求︰「終究只有一個理性」。最後以康德在《第三批判》中對反思判斷力的重新修正、予以審美經驗先驗奠基之架構，重新檢視康德如何以審美判斷─特別是「崇高判斷」─的不確定性概念關連到主體意識能力的提升；並藉由數學崇高與構想力、力學崇高與理性使命之間關係的建立與理解，繼而以此去討論，主體之特有的崇高判斷與道德法則之間本有的奠基性關連，並且何以生命情感作為一種道德意識的洞察能力，可以進行一個既是普遍有效、且與自然達到真正和諧關係的「擴延」；而從這當中誕生出來的道德情感，便根源於意志自由而作為道德行為的發生的關鍵推動力、但其自身卻仍不能作為行為之根據。

The main topic of this work is an effort to answer the question, whether confessional teaching of religion is the right way to approach pupils from secular environment. In the first part of my work I follow up the definition of catechesis and its history. Next I compare confessional and unconfessional way of teaching religion, and as an alternative to it, I propose the teaching focused on cultural context. I also give attention to the term ?secular society? and consequences from that in religion teaching. I look for goals and contents of religion teaching in individual church documents with consideration to non-religious pupils. In the last section of this work I pay attention to developmental psychology, development of religious judgment and the character of educator. In the very end I try to find solutions to teachings focused on cultural context.
