The most skilled seafaring sailors in recorded human history came from Taiwan, known as the ancient Polynesians. Ilha Formosa, Taiwan’s former name given by the Portuguese in the 17th century signified its magnificent coastline and abundant ocean resources. During the 20th century, through political turmoil and warfare, Taiwan’s maritime accolades rested on its yacht building sector, achieving a place in the world’s top five rankings. However, Taiwan’s martial law and the lack of reform prohibited leisure marine activities, an industry creating valuable socioeconomic impact. By comparison, maritime regulation in Taiwan is far behind that of both developed and developing nations around the world today. With gradual lifting of restrictions and growing public demand, a leisure marine industry will hopefully thrive to enrich the lives of people living in Taiwan. This research provides an overview of marinas and its market opportunities in Taiwan through various revenue models. It concludes with a financial model to assess the viability of such an investment.

The tone of this dissertation is in the first person as allowed by the lens of constructivism used in it. Being constantly self-reflective, the author takes the reader through his personal journey to be a therapist, and the ethical dimensions encountered in the process, to indicate that one cannot do therapy \\'ithout considering ethics in the fusion of the professional and personal selves of the therapist.- What is lost in the delineated field of observation is hoped to be gained, in the richness of its personal material. Not aiming at drawing any generalisable arguments, the purpose of the dissertation is to provoke a dialogue about our ethical conduct with clients, indicating that our therapeutic conduct is enriched by constantly involving ourselves in the ethical dilemmas that emerge in the therapeutic process. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

This thesis explores three main questions: (1) How is diversity and equity in education in Manitoban schools addressed and does this include mixed-raced students?, (2) What are mixed-race students’ experiences with and perceptions of ethnocultural equity in the Manitoban secondary school system and how do these experiences impact their personal and collective identities in the following areas: Social (relationships with peers and family members), Political (notions of Canadian identity and citizenship), Identity (sense of cultural and racial identity and social positioning), Cultural (influences of related cultural groups and communities), and Pedagogical (instructional materials, relationships with teachers and staff, teaching practices and pedagogies, school policies and initiatives) and (3) What can educators and teacher-educators learn from this research that could be used toward a more informed and successful practice? Conclusions are that more work needs to be done to develop a provincial antiracism and ethnocultural policy document for development and implementation that will help establish a system of accountability and consistency, assist our leaders in understanding the complexities of mixedness, establish relationships with different relevant community groups and families, critically examine the curricula for bias, investigate student placement, provide opportunities for counselling staff, explore how to prepare staff to deal with racial and ethnocultural harassment, and consider the representation of mixedness in the staff population. / February 2017

Cette étude envisage la traduction du Voyage au bout de la nuit de Céline en roumain sous l'angle de la transmission d'une poétique qui se construit sur des valeurs rythmiques. La thèse, qui prend comme fil conducteur la métaphore du jazz,se concentre sur les aspects lexicaux du rythme. Dans la première partie, l'effet dev ariation, source de rythme jazzé, est étudié à travers l'analyse de la traduction du pronom on. L'examen de la variation prend également comme champ d'application l'usage particulier de la variation graphique. Autour de la variation minuscule / majuscule, Céline organise d'autres variations fonctionnelles et textuelles : la variation mention / usage, la variation métaphore / allégorie, la variation polyphonique des points de vue énonciatifs. La deuxième partie, placée sous le signe de l'improvisation, souligne le rôle du néologisme dans la création de ce rythme textuel. Nous étudions le traitement, dans la traduction, des inventions formelles, tout comme la réponse donnée à un certain type d'ambiguïté, que Céline crée en mettant en valeur le sens étymologique des mots. La troisième partie identifie des principes qui caractérisent le fonctionnement poétique du texte, en les signalant comme des défis pour la traduction : la récurrence lexicale, le foisonnement sémantique, l'effet de littéralité des tours figés, la remotivation des rapports arbitraires entre les signifiants. La thèse aborde le sujet dans une perspective précise, analytique, qui se situe au plus près du texte / This study examines the technical and poetic aspects of the translation of Célines Voyage au bout de la nuit, through comparative analysis of its Rumanian versions.The notion of rhythm provides the studys anchoring principle. Here the rhythm ofCélines prose is apprehended in its lexical dimension, with particular attention to a 5guiding theme, namely that of jazz music. In the first part, the jazz theme isfore-grounded through an examination of Célines orthographic variations andspecifically to his idiosyncratic use of small and capital letters. It also brings to bearthe varied effect of the use of the pronoun on. The second part of the thesis isdevoted to the topic of improvisation. It presents an analysis of ways in which formal,functional and semantic neologisms are rendered in Rumanian translations. Finally,the third part seks to identify several governing principles of a poetic dimension inCélines novel, which often pose a challenge to translators, such as lexicalrecurrence, semantic profusion, literal usage and the arbitrary relation of signifiers.This thesis proposes an analytical contribution to scholarschip on Céline through aclose, « practico-theoretical reading of the text

Cette étude porte sur la distance parcourue pour commettre un crime à Gatineau en 2006. Peu d’études canadiennes récentes ont porté sur le sujet. De plus, il existe un vide de connaissances sur la mobilité des délinquants dans les petites villes et les banlieues. La présente recherche vise à comparer trois mesures de distance différentes, à vérifier si la distance parcourue varie en fonction du type de crime et à voir si les variables de temps (jour de la semaine, moment de la journée et saison) de même que certaines caractéristiques des suspects (âge, sexe et lieu de résidence) ont un impact sur la distance parcourue. Pour chaque crime, l’adresse du suspect et le lieu du crime ont été géocodées pour ensuite calculer la distance entre les deux points. Il ressort de l’analyse de la forme des courbes de distances que seules les agressions sexuelles présentent une zone tampon. Les résultats des analyses statistiques indiquent que les jeunes sont plus mobiles que les suspects plus âgés et que les hommes parcourent une distance plus élevée que les femmes. Étonnement, la distance parcourue ne diffère pas significativement selon la saison et le moment de la journée. Enfin, comparativement aux autres criminels, les délinquants qui ont commis un vol qualifié sont ceux qui ont parcouru les plus grandes distances. / This study focuses on the journey to crime of the offenders who have committed a crime in Gatineau in 2006. There are only a few recent Canadian studies on the subject. In addition there is a vacuum of knowledge on the journey to crime in smaller cities and suburbs. This research is designed to compare three different measures of distance, to check if the distance varies depending on the type of crime and see if the variables of time (day of week, time of day and season) as well as some characteristics of suspects (age, sex and place of residence) have an impact on the distance traveled. For each crime, the address of the suspect and the crime location were geocoded then, the distance between the two points was calculated. An analysis of the shapes curves pattern of the distances indicates that sexual assault is the only type of crime which possesses a buffer zone. The results of statistical analysis show that young people are more mobile than older suspects and that men travel a greater distance than women. Surprisingly, the distance does not differ significantly according to season and time of day. Finally, compared to the other criminal offenders, those who have committed a robbery traveled the greatest distances.

La version intégrale du mémoire a été déposée à la Division de la gestion des documents et des archives. / Cette recherche propose une analyse de la figure de la ruine post-apocalyptique dans le jeu vidéo. Il s’agit de questionner les effets de cette figure sur la construction d’une mémoire du lieu vidéoludique exploré, ainsi que ceux sur la formation d’émotions. Ce mémoire débute par une mise en contexte et la définition des différents concepts de base que nous utiliserons, tels la ruine, les utopies et l’apocalypse. Ensuite, nous procédons à une analyse de la formation d’une mémoire d’un lieu vidéoludique et des effets des ruines post-apocalyptiques représentées sur ce processus, le tout appuyé par une étude de notre corpus : Bastion, Journey et Fallout 3. Finalement, nous faisons le même cheminement afin d’analyser la formation d’émotions en réaction aux différents éléments de design qui forment les ruines post-apocalyptiques dans les jeux observés. / This research proposes an analysis of post-apocalyptic ruins in video games. We will question the effects of this figure on the creation of a memory based on the explored space and on the formation of emotions. This thesis will begin by establishing the context of our definitions and the different concepts we will be using throughout, such as ruins, utopias and the apocalypse. We will then analyse the creation of a memory based on a videogame space and the effects of the represented post-apocalyptic ruins on the process, all of this backed up by a study of our corpus: Bastion, Journey and Fallout 3. In the last part, we will do a similar work to analyse the formation of emotions in reaction to the different design elements that constitute the observed games.

The thesis presents an analysis of the themes of the city, the journey and the pilgrim in the well known danish novel Havoc by Tom Kristiensen. The introductory part of the thesis includes a brief summary of the changes in the image of the city in the 19th and 20th century works of art and literature. Furthermore, it also focuses on the man-city relationship and stresses its reciprocity and the important role of the city in the process of the formation of individual identity. The following part of the thesis analyses the theme of the city in Havoc and focuses mainly on the influence, which the main character's feeling of alientation has on the depiction of the city in the novel. Another discussed topic is the main character's decision to intentedly reach the bottom of his existence, which is interpreted as the result of the post-world war I. urge to question and reassess the foundations of the society and its principels and values. The thesis compares and contrasts the main character's deroute with other famous litterary journeys and pilgrimages. Furthemore, it also analyses the predominant patterns of the main charcter's movement through the city and interprets its spiral course as emblematic of the main charatcer's search of identity. The final part of the thesis explores the importance of the...

According to anthropology and psychology, myths carry the human archetypes. These are couched in symbolic language and open up the polysemy of the myths. In the myth of Genesis 3, sin and the fall are significants resultant from a monosemic hermeneutic that has dogmatically legitimated the existence of the priest and of the church. The symbolic element of the serpent representative of a divinity competes with the divinity Yahweh through a transgressive project which is victorious and liberates the human beings to go beyond the garden. It is outside of this logic that the first sexual relationship between Adam and Eve occurs. In this way they have the pleasure of completing each other and becoming creative Gods. In a new focus derived from a polissemic reading, Eve s transgression can supply the archetypal energy necessary for a prophetic vocation awakening the heroic self that exists in all mankind. It is in the interval between great powers that the human being exercises freedom and makes himself divine. / Gênesis 3 será tomado, aqui, como um mito hebraico que servirá para uma análise de caso, onde se busca comprovar que a psicanálise tem um olhar diferenciado para entender a polissemia existente nos mitos. Os mitos, segundo o que é aceito pela antropologia e psicologia, carregam consigo os arquétipos humanos, que, configurados por uma linguagem simbólica, abrem a sua polissemia. No mito de Gênesis 3, pecado e queda são significados resultantes de uma hermenêutica monossêmica, que tem legitimado dogmaticamente a existência do sacerdote e da Igreja que o sustenta. O elemento simbólico serpente , representativo de uma divindade, compete com a divindade Iahweh, através de um projeto transgressor, que, vitorioso, liberta os seres humanos para além do jardim. É fora desta lógica que ocorre a primeira relação sexual entre Adão e Eva, que assim degustam o prazer de se completarem, tornando-se assim também Deuses criadores. A transgressão, novo foco de sentido encontrado pela leitura polissêmica, pode fornecer a energia arquetípica necessária para a vocação profética, e para despertar o ser heróico que habita em todos os humanos. É no intervalo entre os grandes poderes que o ser humano exercita a liberdade e diviniza o seu ser.

The present study aimed to characterize the diffusion of Behavior Analysis in Minas Gerais, analyzing the contribution of the collection Ciência do Comportamento: conhecer e avançar, a Jornada Mineira de Ciência de Comportamento publication. It has been analyzed, in addition to the seven volumes of the collection, published from 2002 to 2009, and the episodes of Jornada s twelve past editions (2001-2012). Analyzes were performed and editorial content of the collection, as well as analysis of the material available on the Seminar. The results show: close relationship between what was published in the collection and what was presented in the Journeys, strong presence of Minas Gerais s authors and, among those, the affiliated authors of UFMG, institution from which emerged the idea of the Journeys. It is also shown the expansion of Belo Horizonte s region as well as the peripherals of the State: in the Collection 37 institutions in total, 12 from Minas Gerais and 25 from other states. In the case of the Journeys it has been identified 67 institutions in total. From a total of 119 chapters published in seven volumes between 2002 and 2009, 73% can be classified as essay / discussion / review, and the remains distributed between application and research reports, as slight difference in favor of the application. In the Research case, the Applied research line was the one that had the most work identification. These results are consistent with what occurs in the Journeys and, in both, the main issues are, in order, Clinic, Concept, Education, and Health. Overall, the results did not differ for the set of texts published in Brazil. What is to exalt is the existence of a publication released as additional product to the Journeys - contributing to greater diffusion area / A comunidade de analistas do comportamento do Brasil tem produzido pesquisas histórico-conceituais sobre diversos temas utilizando diferentes fontes. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a difusão da Análise do Comportamento em Minas Gerais, analisando a contribuição da coleção Ciência do Comportamento: conhecer e avançar, uma publicação dos organizadores da Jornada Mineira de Ciência de Comportamento. Para isso, foram analisados, além dos sete volumes da Coleção, publicados de 2002 a 2009, e os programas de doze edições da Jornada (2001-2012). Foram realizadas análise editorial e de conteúdo da Coleção, além da análise do material disponível das Jornadas. Os resultados mostram: estreita relação entre o que foi publicado na Coleção e o que foi apresentado nas Jornadas; forte presença de autores mineiros e, entre estes, de autores filiados à UFMG, instituição da qual partiu a ideia das Jornadas. Mostram ainda a expansão da área em Belo Horizonte e interior do Estado: na Coleção 37 instituições ao todo, sendo 12 de Minas Gerais e 25 de outros estados. No caso das Jornadas chegaram a serem identificadas 67 instituições no total. Do total de 119 capítulos publicados nos sete volumes entre 2002 e 2009, 73% podem ser classificados como ensaio/discussão/revisão, e o restante distribuído entre relato de aplicação e pesquisa, como leve diferença a favor da aplicação. No caso das Pesquisas, a linha de pesquisa Aplicada foi a que mais teve trabalhos identificados. Estes resultados estão de acordo com o que ocorre nas Jornadas e, em ambos, os principais assuntos são, na ordem, Clínica, Conceito, Educação, e Saúde. De modo geral, os resultados não diferem para o conjunto de textos publicados na área no Brasil. O que há para ressaltar é a existência de uma publicação lançada como produto adicional às Jornadas contribuindo para maior difusão da área
