Esse estudo interpretativo se baseia na linguagem estética da música nacionalista em que o compositor está atrelado, bem como em outros fatores ligados à análise dos elementos musicais da peça, e discute as decisões interpretativas tomadas e a solução de problemas técnicos instrumentais presentes na obra. Adicionalmente, o estudo sobre a obra serve como pano de fundo para a realização do levantamento histórico do xilofone no Brasil / Abstract: This work intends to perform an interpretative study on Suite for Xylophone and Piano, by Osvaldo Lacerda, composed in 1974. This piece is the first suite written for xylophone in Brazil that elevates this instrument from the orchestral role to a piano duo. The interpretative study is based in nationalist musical¿s aesthetics language, in which the composer was inserted, as well as the analysis of the musical elements of the work, and discusses the interpretative decisions and the solution of technical issues along the piece. In addition, this study serves as background for a historical survey about the xylophone in Brazil / Mestrado / Praticas Interpretativas / Mestre em Música

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Hispánica mención Literatura / En 1967 se estrena en Chile la obra dramática Tres tristes tigres de Alejandro Sieveking. Tan solo un año después es filmada en el mismo país una película homónima por Raúl Ruiz. Una mera coincidencia de títulos queda descartada de plano cuando vemos aparecer en la pantalla personajes con los mismos nombres que en la obra dramática, ¿Por qué recurrir a tales asociaciones? Digamos enseguida que la película, si bien, parece buscar en algunos momentos apegarse lo más posible a la obra parasitada, en otros (cuantitativamente más numerosos) se aparta aparentemente de todo nexo tanto en el plano del contenido como de la forma. Se ve, por ello, anulada la suspicacia de advertir en el desarrollo de la cinta una sequía creativa en la que se busca el éxito comercial a través de una “adaptación” exitosa (en todo caso, no son las motivaciones genésicas las que aquí nos convocan). Por otro lado, queda descartada también la hipótesis ingenua de la interpretación. Lo cual supondría entender la película de Ruiz como una intermediación que busca desentrañar significados contenidos con anterioridad (de allí la etimología monetaria de la palabra). De ningún modo. La apertura retórica que acusa este dispositivo aparece –si se ha leído la película- como una textualidad desviada de cualquier concentración semántica eventualmente recolectada de los signos dispuestos en/por la obra de Sieveking. De modo tal, que nos encontramos ante la aparición de nuevos signos divergentes, ciertas reminiscencias acompañadas de inmediatos desvíos. Pero decir que no se trata de una interpretación no quiere decir que no hay un proceso de lectura en juego. Por el contrario –y aquí se esboza una de las conjeturas obtenidas- es ella la naturaleza de la película filmada: filmar como leer o leer como filmar,no olvidando, así, la naturaleza verbal del proceso (movedizo y no substancial). Lo siguiente quiere ser un análisis anatómico. Una mirada a la mirada y una lectura a la lectura.

The aim of this thesis is to analyse female political participation in the 2011 revolution in Egypt with the help of a radical feminism theoretical framework, which effectively ensures that the female participation is analysed from an intersectional point of view. The research will be conducted as a desk study. In order to do this, the research will specifically look at the means of mobilisations used by female protesters, as well as examine the reasons why women chose to join the protests throughout Egypt between January 25 and February 11, 2011. Furthermore, the strategies used to overcome challenges and obstacles in and after the revolution will be analysed. The main result of this research is that women to a large extent used and benefited from ‘online activism’ on websites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube both in the lead-up to and during the revolution. The research will show that women gained legitimacy during the protests by not pushing for a gender-specific agenda, but instead joined the protest under the common battle-cry of ‘bread, freedom, and dignity’ as well as taking up traditionally female roles during the protests. Moreover, the thesis will argue that the wide spread practice of female genital mutilation as well as the staggeringly high prevalence of sexual harassment and gender-based violence are severe hindrances for women to access the public sphere, and will show how the post-revolutionary government in Egypt effectively worsened the socio-political climate for women.

From Integrative Summary: There has been a growing interest in successful entrepreneurs. Research on entrepreneurship has focused on the identification of personality variables that would assist in the prediction of entrepreneurial success. The present study moves away from attempting to predict entrepreneurial success and instead focuses on exploring and describing the personality of a successful entrepreneur. A psychobiographical case study was adopted by the researcher to explore and describe the extent to which Steve Jobs demonstrated the entrepreneurial characteristics identified by Rauch and Frese (2007). A personality trait approach to entrepreneurship was adopted in the study. The study also attempted to explore the socio-cultural and economic context within which Jobs practised his entrepreneurial activities. Jobs was a successful entrepreneur who co-founded Apple and founded NeXT and Pixar, which were all companies that transformed various technological industries. His entrepreneurial orientation allowed him to produce innovative products that transformed society in various sectors which included personal computing, mobile phones, music, retail stores and films (Isaacson, 2011). A qualitative approach was adopted in the study. The data collection and analysis was guided by the three linked sub-processes proposed by Miles and Huberman (2002) which involved data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings of this study showed that Jobs demonstrated, at varying levels, all the entrepreneurial characteristics identified by Rauch and Frese (2007) which included a need of achievement, risk-taking, innovativeness, autonomy, locus of control and self-efficacy. The researcher however noted that the desire for autonomy, risk-taking, innovativeness and self-efficacy were the most dominant characteristics driving his entrepreneurial orientation. The research thesis adopted the structure of a teaching case which can be used to explore and discuss the personality trait perspective to entrepreneurship in a classroom setting. The findings of the study can be recognised as positively contributing to the growing field of psychobiographical research on exceptional individuals, including entrepreneurs. The study can be considered as a foundation for future studies which will add to the body of knowledge relating to entrepreneurship and personality.

O estudo foi desenvolvido utilizando-se pesquisa exploratória, realizada por meio de análise documental videográfica. Para a seleção dos vídeos, foram utilizados os termos "idoso" e "mídia" no site YouTube®. Como critérios de inclusão na pesquisa, foram levados em consideração apenas os vídeos brasileiros, entre os que continham apenas imagens e os que continham linguagem oral expressa em português, postados no período entre 2011 e 2012. Os 60 vídeos amostrais foram selecionados em 5 diferentes categorias: 1) Reportagens (30 vídeos), 2) Vídeos de Imagens e Filmes (13 vídeos), 3) Propagandas (12 vídeos), 4) Entrevistas (3 vídeos) e 5) Outros (2 vídeos). Posteriormente, foram analisados os conteúdos neles apresentados, por meio de 3 eixos temáticos, assim como propõe a Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo e incluíram: Eixo 1 - Falas, Eixo 2 - Expressão Corporal, Eixo 3 - Participação nos vídeos e contextos periféricos. Os resultados encontrados no Eixo 1 demonstram que a maior parte dos assuntos abordados envolvidos nos vídeos incluiu as temáticas violência e a prática de atividades diversas. Foram observadas tonalidades de voz forte e animadas, mas também, fracas e trêmulas e os significados das falas dos participantes dos vídeos evidenciaram, tanto tendências negativas, como positivas. Porém evidencia-se que as tendências negativas tiveram maior incidência quando provinham de pessoas periféricas do que dos idosos. Para o Eixo 2, foram encontrados predominância de movimentos reduzidos dos idosos, que, na maior parte das situações, estavam sentados dando uma entrevista. Tinham expressão facial marcada por sorrisos, risadas e gargalhadas predominantemente e postura ereta na maior parte das situações. Também foram observadas... / Abstract: This qualitative study aims to analyze the different types of Brazilian videos posted on the Youtubesite, referring to the elderly. The study was developed by exploratory research through documentary videographic analysis. The videos were selected by the terms "idoso" and "mídia" at the Youtubesite). As research inclusion criteria, only Brazilian videos were considered which contained images and speeches that were expressed in Portuguese language and posted during the period of 2011 to 2012. The 60 videos were selected according to five different categories: 1) Reports (30 videos), 2) Videos with images and movies (13 videos), 3) Advertisements (12 videos), 4) Interviews (3 videos) and 5) Others (2 videos). Subsequently, their contents were analyzed by three thematic axes as proposed by the Content Analysis Technique : Theme 1 - Speech, Theme 2 - Body language, Theme 3 - Videos participation and peripheral contexts. The Theme 1 results show that most of the issues involved in the videos included the thematic aggression and the practice of various activities. Strong and lively voice tones were observed, but also weak and trembling voices were noted and the meanings of participants' speech in the videos showed, both negative and positive trends. However, it is evident that the negative trends had a higher incidence when came from peripheral people than the elderly. To the Theme 2, it was found the prevalence of the reduced movements by the elderly, which in the most of the situations, were seated during interview. They had their facial expression marked by smiles and laughter predominantly and, they got an upright posture in the most of the situations. Also, it was observed physical characteristics that demonstrated the elderly predominantly with white or brown skin, white, gray or dyed hair and older people wearing simple clothes, with light or dark colors and smooth. There was a predominance of the use of decorative objects... / Mestre

Introduction: More than one-third of adults and 17% of children/adolescents in the US are overweight or obese contributing to significant morbidity and mortality, and healthcare costs. Studies have reported the persistence of adolescent obesity to adulthood, resulting in increased risk of chronic diseases such as asthma, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular, and liver diseases. Little is known about obesity patterns in subethnic populations in the US with high prevalence of obesity or overweight reported in Hispanic youth (21.9%) compared to non-Hispanic blacks (19.5%) and non-Hispanic whites (14.7%). Several genetic, uterine, and nutritional factors, and unhealthy behaviors were identified as risk factors. Evidence is emerging about the possible role of generational status in influencing adolescent obesity. The purpose of this study is to assess the association of generation status with adolescent overweight or obesity in Hispanics in the US. Methods: Data from the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH)were used to conduct this study. Only Hispanic adolescents aged 10 to 17 years were included as study population. Using the age-sex-race specific cut-off points, we defined adolescent as being overweight or obese if they were above 85th or 95th percentile cut off point values for BMI. Generation status of an adolescent was categorized into three groups: a) generation 1 for those who were not born in US or to US citizens abroad, and migrated to US as children, b) generation 2 are those born in US but have at least one parent who is foreign born, and c) generation 3 or higher adolescents are those born in US to native-born parents. Multivariable models were conducted to test the association of generation status with adolescent obesity in Hispanics, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: A total of 5,217 Hispanic adolescents were included in the study. Approximately 1,650 and 31.7% of adolescents reported being overweight or obese. Approximately 857, 2,216 and 2,144 of adolescents are 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Hispanic youth. Comparing to 3rd generation adolescents, those belonging to 1st and 2ndgenerations were associated with increased odds of adolescent obesity in Hispanics OR1.48, 95% CI 1.177 – 1.867 and OR 1.405, 95% CI 1.227-1.610 for 1st and 2nd generation, respectively. Conclusion: Generational status is associated with increased relative odds of overweight or obesity in Hispanic adolescents. Aggregated estimates not accounting for nativity or county of origin of an adolescent contribute to significant heterogeneity or disparities in obesity prevalence or patterns, with implications for generation-specific interventions.

This diploma thesis is focused on the analysis of the political communication of two politicians in the Czech Republic: from the "ANO 2011" was chosen Andrej Babiš, and for the "SPD" was chosen, Tomio Okamura. The communication of selected politicians was examined on the social network "Facebook", which is the most commonly used social network among Czech politicians. The above-mentioned politicians use the new internet platforms relatively more than other politicians. Therefore, the author of this diploma thesis assumes that there will be in their communication present some new forms of political communication. Based on the defined criteria, which arose from the theoretical part of the thesis, a detailed analysis of the political communication of both politicians is performed and then compared. The political communication was examined based on the content of posts, the sound of shared posts, the form of the communication, the relevance of the shared messages, and the argumentation strategy. The shared posts were also assessed whether they are populist and if there are elements of personalization in the communication of Andrej Babiš and Tomio Okamura. This work aims to find out whether the elements defined above are used in the Facebook communication of the above-mentioned politicians.

Although terrorism is an area that has been the subject of much research, systematic searches in databases reveal that a focus on actors and movements that find their motivation in Christian beliefs, is, by and large, lacking. Ever since the 9/11 terrorist attack, Islamist terrorism has been the major focus. The purpose of this thesis is to describe and compare Christian and Islamist acts of terrorism. This will be done by using the terrorist attack of the self-proclaimed Christian crusader Anders Behring Breivik in Norway 2011 and compare it to the terrorist attack in Paris November 2015 claimed by the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS). A content analysis is used to explore the material. The analysis is conducted with an analytical framework created from previous research on religious terrorism to explore the similarities and differences of religiously motivated terrorist acts. The study reveals that there are a lot of similarities between Breivik and the Paris attackers. Both Breivik and IS strived to change society with violence justified by their religion. In a type of “God´s executioner” fashion. A final conclusion in this thesis is that Breivik and IS share Ideological core ideas in the form of exclusivity, however, the exclusivity is expressed differently. Breivik´s exclusiveness is linked to ethnicity and skin colour, while IS´s exclusivity is solely linked to faith.

I följande studie studeras hur svensklärare i gymnasieskolan genomför och utvärderar svenskundervisning som innehåller digitala resurser, samt vilka digitala kompetenser som berörs i denna undervisning. Detta görs mot bakgrund av att Skolverket år 2017 reviderade Gy 2011 med tillägg om digital kompetens. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vilka digitala resurser som förekommer i svenskundervisningen, om undervisningens lärandemål harmoniserar med styrdokumentens riktlinjer samt vilka möjligheter och utmaningar som uppstår i den digitala pedagogiken. Det insamlade materialet består av individuella intervjuer med tre svensklärare som har undervisningserfarenhet från gymnasiekurserna Svenska 1–3.  Resultatet av undersökningen visar att användning av digitala resurser i svenskundervisningen sker frekvent och att undervisningen adresserar de digitala kompetenser som föreskrivs i kursplanerna. Digitala resurser underlättar ofta elevers kunskapsinhämtning, men utmaningar uppstår när elever inte behärskar de digitala resurserna. Informanterna upplever också att styrdokumentens riktlinjer om digital kompetens är otydliga och att de på grund av detta har svårt att avgöra hur mycket undervisningstid som bör läggas på utveckling av digital kompetens och stöd för eleverna.
