In its aim to explore some of the concrete consequences of regional renewal, this paper deals with the question to what extent dramatic structural transformation and renewal in Swedish regions is paralleled by favourable developments of household income, employment growth and value added total growth. We stud ied the period 1978 to 2004, building on previous research concerning the regional consequences of the dramatic technology-shift process that has been taking place in Sweden. Long-term changes in the relationships between Swedish regions are analysed by establishing conceptual connections between regional long-term economic transformation and welfare. It is argued that there are time- lags as well as systemic spatial asymmetries when it comes to technology- induced restructuring, overall regional economic growth, employment creation, and income growth. We used data from the DEVIL (Databases of Evolutionary Economic Geography in Lund) combined with additional data sets from Statistics Sweden. (authors' abstract) / Series: SRE - Discussion Papers

El propósito de la tesis es averiguar de qué manera los países en la actual era de la información obtienen y desarrollan tecnologías (medios) para el logro de una serie de objetivos establecidos por una doctrina política (fines). La Innovación consiste en la relación temporalmente determinada que existe entre medios y fines, ya que los fines de una doctrina política dan lugar a la consecución de medios adecuados para lograr los primeros. La tesis argumenta que un país como China ha venido desarrollando desde 1978 un Sistema Nacional de Innovación (SNI) conformado a su vez por otros subsistemas económicos y de producción tecnológicos entre otros con el propósito de procesar, comprender y recibir información de una red global de información que ha surgido a finales de los años sesenta. Este mismo SNI le permite comprender las nuevas tecnologías, procesarlas y producir nuevos medios de diversa índole así como asimilar y entender las tecnologías que otros países con su respectivo SNI crean. Existe por tanto una relación interdependiente en la creación de conocimiento que implica la obtención de conocimientos y tecnologías de otros países. Por ende, a medida que China ha ido conformando y modernizando su SNI su comportamiento en la región del Mar del Sur de China, zona importante para Beijing en términos políticos, económicos y estratégicos, se ha vuelto más asertivo. / Tesis

本比較研究討論兩位廣被推崇，卻常被誤解的的知識份子一曼海姆(1893-1947)及唐君毅(1909-1978) 。驟眼看來，他們似乎沒有太大可比擬之處。曼海姆是匈牙利古典社會學家。而唐君毅則為近代中國文化運動一當代新儒家一的中堅人物。在本文看來，他們之所以容易被誤解是他們的思想均有較重要的紕漏，而他們共同作為流亡知識份子的經驗，是導致他們思想的缺失的主要原因，亦是本文將他們作比較研究對象的根據所在。本文演繹曼海姆的思想，尤其針對其中帶試驗性質的不連貫性，至於唐君毅思想的特質是近乎玄想式的觀念主義。本文通過他們各自的流亡經驗及社會本體論處境以解釋他們思想的缺點。 / 按布伯的看法，有利的知識及文化環境須建基於社群內的互動生活，只有在這樣的背景下，社會及文化(傳統)條件才可平衡地交往發展。循這思路出發，本文分析的二位知識份子均生活於長期失卻「家」的狀態一即與個人存在所契合的生活場所一及失卻人置身於「家」中的安全戚、自然白發的戚覺。正是因此曼海姆的流亡可說是直接引發他思想的試驗色彩與性格，他試圖在不同社會與文化脈絡中找尋一個文化的平衡點，卻因將注意力過份著眼於面對各種社會關條而不幸失落在其中，故此他難以找到一個統一的思想觀念或架構來綜合他不同時期的思想，以及其中的不連貫甚或矛盾。至於唐君毅，跟曼海姆剛好相反，只將注意力集中在中國文化及儒家傳統的傳承上，在其流亡期間沒有作出多大文化適應。一方面他離開了他本來身處的社群，男一方面他亦沒有融入新的社會。這正好解釋他觀念及玄想意味甚濃的思想形態，他過份集中於文他想像中，而相對抽離於社會生活及現實。 / 通過研究這兩位學者，本文提出對「傳統的社會學強度綱領」，指出「傳統」的重要性可同時普及於現代及傳統社會，因為傳統所司的功能對不同類型的社會均有其價值一提供文化框架、文化慣習及文化的信託。本文希望藉理解曼海姆及唐君毅作為流亡知識份子與傳統的關係，推動社會學中對「傳統」的詮析及應用以理解社會生活。 / The present comparative study engages with two highly regarded intellectuals who are however also candidates of convenient misinterpretation-Karl Mannheim (1893-1947), the Hungarian classical sociologist, and Tang Junyi (1909-1978), the major spokesperson for the Chinese cultural movement of contemporary Neo-Confucianism. These intellectuals are juxtaposed for the common experience of exile that each had to undertake, which spanned the major part of their mature lives, as well as disrupted their affinity with tradition. Mannheim's and Tang's experiences of exile and tradition are considered here as among the major factors for the misinterpretation that they face, as regarding Mannheim's experimentalism and Tang's contemplative idealism. / On the empirical level, by way of probing into the respective social ontology of Mannheim and Tang as intellectuals in exile, this study establishes their different epistemic predicaments as diametric manifestations of the unhomely and hence unnatural intellectual conditions plaguing them in exile. Unhomeliness designates the condition in which an intellectual loses his home base-an existential realm of familiarity and certainty-that underlies the unity and continuity of his individual and intellectual identity. An unhomely intellectual is situated in an unending intermediate state between home and host, for which the social and cultural orientation of intellectual identity becomes problematic. / Along Martin Buber's line of thinking, a productive intellectual and his cultural condition has to be one of a spontaneous communal setting where there is a balanced interplay of the social and the cultural/traditional dimensions. The experimental incoherence of Mannheim's thought is thus considered here as the predominance of the social factors in his intellectual production during exile. While for Tang Junyi, his primarily contemplative posture even regarding the substantive agenda of Chinese modernisation is the result of the pre-eminence of the cultural/traditional parameter in his intellectual formation. / On the conceptual level, the state and experience of exile also spell the significant breaching and the bracketing of the immediate relationship between intellectual and the cultural tradition he was raised in. Exile thus provides the vantage point for a closer diagnosis of the immediacy of tradition and intellectual, which is generally overlooked in a naturalistic communal context. / The substantive concern with exile notwithstanding, opting for the (re )instatement of tradition in the form of a strong programme of the sociology of tradition comprises the broader leitmotif of the present study. A strong programme for sociological study of tradition reaffirms the centrality of tradition in all forms of societies, even modem society. Tradition as in this dissertation is delineated into the three analytical attributes of cultural framework, cultural habitus, and cultural commitment, viewed as indispensable to the survival of all societies. A strong programme of tradition is meant to rectify the protracted asymmetric relations between tradition and modernity which impedes meaningful exegesis of not only the traditional, non-Western (or non-modem) societies, but modem societies as well. It is also essential for the ongoing reflection of Western sociology and the Enlightenment discourse, regarding their relationship with the alleged 'tradition' that they unwittingly fabricates. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Chan, Siu Han. / "December 2011." / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 319-350). / Electronic reproduction.

This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

Anders Nygren's Agape and Eros is a classical work in the history of Christian ideas of love. It has inspired the academic debate on the relationship between Agape and Eros, while the former is a core concept in Christian theology and ethics, the latter represents the ancient Greek humanistic ethos. Nygren points out that agape and eros encounter and mingle with each other at the theoretical level. However, he suggests that in the Christian idea of love and theology, the erotic ingredient, which invades in and weakens the pure original meaning of agape, should be eliminated. In achieving this, he attempts to deny the role of eros, which manifests the existential characteristics of human being, in the Christian ethical life. Thus Nygren not only makes agape and eros distinctive in their respective meanings, but also separates them in human existential situation. / In the history of Christian theology, we can find "Tradition of Separating" which tends to separate agape from eros like Nygren does. Meanwhile, there is "Tradition of Uniting" claiming to unite the two kinds of love and Tillich's idea of love is a typical example. Therefore, an investigation of Tillich's idea of love, especially its elaboration on the agape-eros relationship, is helpful and constructive not merely to a deeper understanding of Tillich's systematic theology, but also a comprehensive and balanced understanding of the two trends mentioned above in the history of Christian theology. / In this thesis, we examine Tillich's idea of love within the context of history of ideas and trace its historical roots, so that the tradition of uniting agape-eros in the history of ideas, mainly in that of Christian theology can be demonstrated. On the one hand, we try to retrieve the Courtly Love tradition in Medieval-Renaissance ages and Marcilio Ficino's Neo-Platonist understanding of eros in Renaissance as the historical sources to the particular meaning of Tillich's eros. On the other hand, our discussion makes particular reference to Gregory of Nyssa and John of the Cross, two representatives of the Christian spiritual theologians, whose spiritual writings on love will be considered as the historical roots of Tillich's agape-eros union within the Christian tradition. At last, the present study attempts to show that the modern application of Tillich's uniting agape with eros in Christian theology and ethics, along with related secular philosophy, revitalize this "Tradition of Uniting". / Paul Tillich handles the relationship of agape-eros in his systematic theology in a way radically different from the Nygrenian way. In dealing with the relationship between agape and eros, Tillich proposes a "quadric interactive structure of love" in which the four qualities of love namely libido, eros, philia and agape united and synergized in one love. In this structure, agape uplifts eros (including libido, eros and philia qualities) as divine-human power from the ambiguities of life into the unambiguous transcendent unity of life; while eros substantiates the abstract agape by clothing it in substantial appearance common to human existential feature. / 王濤. / 呈交日期: 2006年5月. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2006. / 參考文獻(p. 282-301). / Cheng jiao ri qi: 2006 nian 5 yue. / Adviser: Lai Pan Chiu. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-11, Section: A, page: 4225. / Electronic reproduction.

Orientador: Sidinei Galli / Banca: Paulo Alves / Banca: Ivan Esperança Rocha / Resumo: Esta tese refere-se ao estudo da permanência das doutrinas morais da Igreja Católica no Pontificado de João Paulo II através do discurso das encíclicas Veritatis Splendor e Evangelium Vitae, as quais demonstram o interesse da Igreja em resgatar os valores morais tradicionais do catolicismo com o intuito de sensibilizar a população cristã, a fim de manter seus fiéis e recuperar sua identidade. Este resgate dos valores da Igreja Católica ressurge com mais intensidade no papado de João Paulo II, pois a Igreja sente-se confusa após os ideais do Concílio Vaticano II, que apesar de não ter sido colocado em prática, deixou alguns leigos, fiéis, teólogos, padres, bispos e cardeais com expectativa de mudança. No entanto, a Igreja, na figura de João Paulo II retomou seus ideais tridentinos e manteve-se inflexível nas questões morais que tanto afligem a população mundial. / Abstract: This thesis mentions the study of the permanence of the Catholic Church's moral doctrines in the John Paul II's pontificate through the speech of the encyclicals Veritatis Splendor and Evangelium Vitae, which demonstrate the interest of the Church in rescuing the traditional moral values of the catolicism with intention to sensetize the christian population in order to keep its fidiciary offices and to recoup its identity.This rescue of the Catholic Church's values resurges more intensively in John Paul II's period, cause the Church's members felt confused after the ideals of II Vatican Council, even it was not practiced left some laypeople, fidiciary offices, theologians, priests, bishops and cardinals with hope of changes . However, when almost nothing happened, the Church in the John Paul II's figure reviewed its tridentinos ideals and it was remained inflexible in the moral questions that much afflict the world-wide population. / Mestre

Orientadora: Arlete de Jesus Brito / Banca: José Manuel Matos / Banca: Luzia Batista de Oliveira Silva / Banca: Rosa Monteiro Paulo / Banca: Marcos Vieira Teixeira / Resumo: As escolas técnicas foram criadas com o objetivo de formar e qualificar trabalhadores para atuarem no campo industrial e comercial. Esse vínculo da escola com a indústria desenvolveu um tipo de ensino próprio para o trabalho, com as disciplinas escolares divididas entre as de conhecimento geral e as de conhecimento técnico. A Matemática situava-se no campo do conhecimento geral, mas, o seu uso era destinado às atividades técnicas, portanto era uma disciplina aplicada. Daí surge a indagação: quais seriam as características do ensino de Matemática em escolas técnicas para a formação do técnico? Buscando respostas para essa indagação desenvolveu-se esta pesquisa. O seu objetivo é analisar o ensino da Matemática no período de 1942 a 1978, na Escola Técnica Nacional (ETN) localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro no Brasil e na Escola Industrial e Comercial Alfredo da Silva (EICAS) localizada no Concelho do Barreiro em Portugal. Focou-se o contexto da forma de governo vigente durante esse período nos dois países: a ditadura. Utilizamos monumentos arquitetônicos, como fonte de pesquisa, para a construção e discussão do contexto econômico e social durante o regime ditatorial no Brasil e em Portugal. Compreender alguns aspectos dessas ditaduras, como a industrialização e a identidade nacional, contribuiu para a análise de diversos pontos referentes ao ensino de Matemática e ao ensino técnico da ETN e da EICAS. Considerou-se os documentos das referidas escolas, no intuito de averiguar as aproximações e as divergências acerca do uso da Matemática na formação de trabalhadores industriários. Esta é uma pesquisa no campo investigativo da História da Educação Matemática, com referenciais na História Cultural e o uso do Método Comparativo. Utilizamos fontes impressas, imagéticas, museológicas e arquitetônicas para ...

This link between the school and industry developed a kind of selfeducation to work with school subjects divided between general knowledge and technical expertise. Mathematics was located in the field of general knowledge, but its use was intended for technical activities, so it was an applied discipline. Then the question arises: what are the distinctive features of mathematics teaching in technical schools for training a technician? Seeking answers to this question developed this search. Its purpose is to analyse the teaching of Mathematics from 1942 to 1978 at National Technical School (ETN) located in the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and also at Industrial and Commercial School Alfredo da Silva (EICAS) located in concelho of Barreiro in Portugal. The research was developed in the context of the current form of government during this period in two countries: the dictatorship. We used architectural monuments as a source of research for the construction and discussion of economic and social context during the dictatorship in Brazil and Portugal. Understanding some aspects of these dictatorships, such as industrialization and national identity, contributed to the analysis of several points related to mathematics education and technical education of ETN and EICAS. It was considered the documents of these schools in order to investigate the similarities and differences about the use of mathematics in training of industrial workers. This is a research in the investigative field of the History of Mathematics Education, with references in Cultural History using the comparative method. We used printed sources, imagery, museums and architectural sources, to build a history about mathematics teaching in a Comparative Analysis between Brazil and Portugal / Doutor

This the second Worker-Tenant thus sees the light in a period wherein the ruling class, having shackled the newly independent states on the border can now move swiftly to win over those sections of the black middle class or the upper sections or the black working class prepared to accept the crumbs called the NEW DISPENSATION. At the same time the workers, the creators of the wealth of this country, are being faced with new onslaughts which further erode their already miserable living standards. But it would be false to see only doom and despair. The very necessity (from the ruler’s point of view) for a NEW DEAL, the very array of self-ordained "people’s" leaders which have suddenly emerged and the very fact that many of these have been forced to borrow from the language of the workers’ movement shows that the workers remain undaunted. And it is to the successful struggle of the workers’ movement for the right to run our lives that the WORKER-TENANT would like to add its voice. / No. 2

1984 has witnessed an intensification of the world economic crisis which began 10 years ago and with it a heightening of the class struggle world-wide. So extreme has the recession become that banner headlines liken it countless times to the first capitalist crash of 1929. Not even the USA's conjunctural boom can act as any respite to its own working population or to those of the other nations linked inexorably in the Imperialist chain. In America capitalism can boast an increase in profits of up to 50% for 1984 and the truth is that this has been achieved by depressing the value of wages below the inflation rate since 1981. For Latin America, America's boom has brought nothing but greater hardship as she reels under the economic burden of increased indebtedness, exacerbated by the soaring interest rates in the USA. Caring little for traditional blood-ties America intensifies the death throes of her oldest rival - Britain. The buoyant dollar has suppressed confidence in sterling, pushing up the cost of credit and thus discouraging capitalists from investing. The threat of this ruthless business sense has expressed itself in the most tenacious struggles on the part of workers to defend their right to work. In South Africa, hopes of an export-led recovery have been shattered by greatly diminished exports from the drought striken agricultural sector, and the costly importation of heavy machinery from America and Japan where the rand finds very little in exchange. This then is the meaning of America's boom. In a period of rapidly declining capitalism, there can be no talk of a protracted boom which brings about general social upliftment, but only an intensification of the most nationalisic throat-cutting and the immiseration of large sections of the working class. / No. 4
