The thesis aims to provide a comprehensive experimental analysis of the processing and acquisition of Turkish relative clauses in Turkish monolingual and Turkish-English bilingual children at the ages of 5-8. The study combines of

In the TDB[1]-like corpora annotation efforts, which are constructed by the intuitions of the annotators, the reliability of the corpus can only be determined via correct interannotator agreement measurement methodology (Artstein, &amp / Poesio, 2008). In this thesis, a methodology was defined to measure the inter-annotator agreement among the TDB annotators. The statistical tests and the agreement coefficients that are widely used in scientific communities, including Cochran&rsquo / s Q test (1950), Fleiss&rsquo / Kappa (1971), and Krippendorff&rsquo / s Alpha (1995), were examined in detail. The inter-annotator agreement measurement approaches of the various corpus annotation efforts were scrutinized in terms of the reported statistical results. It was seen that none of the reported interannotator agreement approaches were statistically appropriate for the TDB. Therefore, a comprehensive inter-annotator agreement measurement methodology was designed from scratch. A computer program, the Rater Agreement Tool (RAT), was developed in order to perform statistical measurements on the TDB with different corpus parameters and data handling approaches. It was concluded that Krippendorff&rsquo / s Alpha is the most appropriate statistical method for the TDB. It was seen that the measurements are affected with data handling approach preferences, as well as the used agreement statistic methods. It was also seen that there is not only one correct approach but several approaches valid for different research considerations. For the TDB, the major data handling suggestions that emerged are: (1) considering the words as building blocks of the annotations and (2) using the interval approach when it is preferred to weigh the partial disagreements, and using the boundary approach when it is preferred to evaluate all disagreements in same way.

Ο τουρισμός συνιστά ένα ιδιόμορφο φαινόμενο λόγω της προσωρινής μεταβατικής κατάστασης που βρίσκεται ο επισκέπτης, ο οποίος ενεργοποιεί τον τουρισμό. Εχει ποικίλες επιπτώσεις, και λόγω του μεγέθους του, οι επιπτώσεις αυτές είναι πλέον αρκετά σημαντικές. Ιδιαίτερου ενδιαφέροντος αποτελούν οι οικονομικές επιπτώσεις του τουρισμού, ειδικά στις οικονομίες υποδοχής επισκεπτών. Στην παρούσα εργασία, κατόπιν της ανάπτυξης του αναγκαίου θεωρητικού υποβάθρου, επιδιώκεται η ανάπτυξη ενός μεθοδολογικού μοντέλου για την, κατά το δυνατό,πιο άμεση και ορθή εκτίμηση αυτών των οικονομικών επιπτώσεων. Το προτεινόμενο μοντέλο κάνει χρήση στατιστικών δεδομένων τα οποία ήδη συλλέγονται απο τις αρμόδιες υπηρεσίες, και έτσι το κόστος του είναι ελάχιστο. / Tourism is a peculiar phenomenon due to the temporary transitional situation of visitors, which are the ones who make tourism to exist. Tourism has various effects, and because of its size, tourism impacts are now significant. Of particular interest are the economic impacts of tourism, especially in economies that host visitors. In this project, after developing the necessary theoritical background, it is develop a methodological model for the most possible direct and accurate assessment of these economic impacts. The proposed model makes use of statistical data already collected by the relevant authorities, what minimizes the cost.

Psalms using the language of enmity present a challenge for Christians who wish to use these psalms as prayer. This study investigates the language of enmity in Psalms 110, 119, 129, 137, 139 and 149 as Christian prayer and beyond the normal form category of lament or complaint of the individual. An argument is proposed to understand Book V of the Psalter as an integral unit, which editors have arranged to represent the post-exilic early restoration period. The study begins with an exegesis of each psalm and seeks to determine the perceived suffering of the psalmist(s) at the hands of enemies and the meaning of the responses to these adversaries. It then moves to a limited historical survey of how commentators through Church history have perceived the suffering and responses in these psalms which use language of enmity. This historical survey is used to correct or clarify the findings in the exegesis. In the third movement of this thesis, the results of the individual exegesis and historical survey of Psalms 110, 119, 129, 137, 139 and 149 are compared in order to elucidate the meaning of the language of enmity. The findings suggest that the language of enmity represents images of judgment on a recalcitrant adversary. The psalms are also investigated as prayers and as normative scripture. The use of the language of enmity in these psalms suggests a use of language that differs from normal use. In this regard the rhetorical device of synecdoche is most helpful in explaining how the texts function. The basis for the language of enmity seems to be the unchanging nature of moral evil. The study then investigates the psalms as canonical, normative prayer in order to move towards developing a theology of God’s just dealing with people and his people in particular. In this regard the psalms are approached as prayer, regardless of the voice in which they were composed. It is suggested that the text as normative prayer allows the psalmist, God, and the pray-er to inhabit and celebrate the same sacred time and space. Of particular concern is how each psalm speaks to the issue of how God engages with moral evil and the question of what can be known about moral evil. The findings suggest that these psalms are an invaluable spiritual resource for the church and should remain unaltered in their use as Christian private and public prayer. / PhD (Old Testament), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus in cooperation with Greenwich School of Theology, 2015

The aim of this thesis is twofold: it explores Giacomo Leopardi's (1798-1837) interpretation of, and engagement with, Greek pessimistic thought and, through him, it investigates the complex and elusive phenomenon of Greek pessimistic thought itself. This thesis contends that Greek pessimistic thought – epitomised by but not limited to the famous wisdom of Silenus, the µὴ φῦναι topos – is an important element of Greek thought, a fundamental part of some of Greece's greatest literary works, and a vital element in the understanding of Greek culture in general. Yet this aspect of ancient thought has not yet received the attention it deserves, and in the history of its interpretation it has often been forgotten, denied, or purposefully obliterated. Furthermore, the pessimistic side of Greek thought plays a crucial role in both the modern history of the interpretation of antiquity and the intellectual history of Europe; I argue that this history is fundamentally incomplete without the appreciation of Leopardi's role in it. By his study of and engagement with ancient sources Leopardi contributed to the 19th century rediscovery of Greek pessimistic wisdom, alongside, though chronologically before, the likes of Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jacob Burckhardt. Having outlined some fundamental steps in the history of the reception of Greek pessimism, this thesis examines the cardinal components of Leopardi's reception of it: his use of Greek conceptions of humanity to undermine modernity's anthropocentric fallacy, his reinterpretation of the Homeric simile of the leaves and its pessimistic undertones, and his views on the idea that it would be best for man not to be born.

Memoria (licenciado en ciencias jurídicas y sociales) / El presente trabajo tiene la pretensión, quizás un tanto ambiciosa, de analizar el inciso segundo del artículo 149, como así mismo la letra c) y el inciso final del artículo 248, ambos del Código Procesal Penal (en adelante CPP), a la luz de nuestra Constitución Política de la República (en adelante CPR), llegando finalmente a aceptar o rechazar en nuestra conclusión su constitucionalidad. Cada día las poblaciones del mundo occidental van evolucionando hacia una construcción de la sociedad regida por el denominado Estado Social y Democrático de Derecho, en virtud del cual, como máxima suprema, se deben respetar los principios que informan dicho estado, cuales son el de supremacía constitucional, imperio de la ley, distribución del poder estatal en titulares que desarrollen funciones diferenciadas, responsabilidad de las diferentes magistraturas y nulidad de los actos que emanen de órganos no competentes, todos los cuales tienen su fundamento principal en la dignidad de la persona humana y sus derechos, los que deben ser promovidos y respetados por los órganos del Estado, cuales se ven amparados también por la vigencia y reconocimiento que tienen los tratados internacionales en nuestra propia Carta Magna1

En la actualidad se observa que las adolescentes crecen en hogares donde la comunicación y las relaciones parentales no están siendo las más adecuadas. Se percibe poco control de sus emociones, donde las menores adoptan reacciones que dañan su salud física y psicológica. En esta investigación se estudió los niveles de Clima Social Familiar e Inteligencia Emocional, según grado y dimensión, en estudiantes de VI Ciclo de una institución educativa nacional católica de Chiclayo, durante agosto - diciembre, 2018. Participaron 234 estudiantes de sexo femenino entre 11 y 13 años de edad. La investigación fue de tipo no experimental, descriptivo. El coeficiente de validez de la Escala de Clima Social Familiar fue ,696 y ,730 y confiabilidad de ,714 y el Inventario de Inteligencia Emocional Bar-On ICE- NA con una validez entre, 839 y ,858 y confiabilidad de ,849. Se obtuvo nivel medio en Clima social familiar y nivel muy desarrollado en Inteligencia Emocional. Se concluye que el nivel de Clima Social Familiar, se ubica en nivel medio y el nivel de Inteligencia Emocional en nivel muy desarrollada, evidenciándose percepción positiva en cuanto a la dinámica familiar y en la adquisición de habilidades para lograr el equilibrio emocional

The text deconstructs notions of ideal community which, while affinning irmnediate proximate human relations, effectiveiy disaffirms and thus devalues those mediated over distance and time. It argues against such social ontologies as the basis of what should constitute ideal consociality. In place of the idealized notions of community critiqued, the work elaborates an ontological ethics of responsibility as a basis for conceptualizing ethical relations. The text grounds its ethic in what is proffered to be humankind's ontological relatedness to the other, regardless of the nature (human or nonhuman) or proximity (face-to-face or nonface-to-face) of that other. Moreover, the text sets forth the importance of humankind developing a sense of this ontological relatedness. The work discusses this sense-of-relatedness from three perspectives. First, it elaborates a philosophic naturalism to establish in humankind an ontological basis for ethical relations. Second, it claims that humankind is in the world, existentially, who and what it understands itself to be with respect to the depth with which it apprehends a sense of its ontological relatedness to all that there is. Third, it argues that this sense-ofrelatedness may be understood as a religious sensibility. / Religious Studies / M.Th. (Religious Studies)
