191	Kulturens påverkan på företagens nedskrivningstendenser : En empirisk undersökning mellan börsnoterade företag i anglosaxiska och kontinentaleuropeiska länder. Yu, David, Barsum, Susanna January 2023 (has links) Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida det förekommer skillnader mellan anglosaxiska och kontinentaleuropeiska företag gällande goodwillnedskrivningar och vilka kulturella dimensioner (Hofstede) som är signifikanta för företagens nedskrivningstendenser. Metod: Studien använder en deduktiv ansats med fastställda hypoteser formulerade från tidigare forskning. Där signifikansen har undersökts med hjälp av en multipel regressionsanalys för att kunna fastställa om en hypotes accepteras eller förkastas. Empiri: Empirin består av kvantitativ data insamlad från årsredovisningar hämtade från företag listade på respektive lands aktiemarknad. Slutsats: Resultatet från studien har kunnat dra slutsatserna att det finns ett kulturellt inflytande inom osäkerhetsundvikande, individualism, maskulinitet och tillfredsställande. Dessutom kan resultaten påvisa att kontinentaleuropeiska företag skriver ned goodwill mer frekvent medan anglosaxiska företag skriver ned med större summor. / Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine whether there are differences between Anglo-Saxon and Continental European companies within goodwill impairments and which cultural dimensions (Hofstede) that are significant for the companies impairment tendencies. Methodology: The study employs a deductive approach with predetermined hypotheses formulated based on prior research. The significance has been examined through multiple regression analysis to determine whether a hypothesis is accepted or rejected. Empirical foundation: The empirical data consists of quantitative data from annual reports obtained from companies listed on the stock indices of their respective countries. Conclusion: The study’s findings have led to the conclusion that there is a cultural influence within dimensions such as uncertainty avoidance, individualism, masculinity and indulgence. Furthermore, the results indicate that Continental European companies tend to impair goodwill more frequently, while Anglo-Saxon companies impair with larger amounts.

193	Taken to the grave. An archaeozoological approach assessing the role of animals as crematory offerings in first millennium AD Britain. Worley, Fay L. January 2008 (has links) The crematory funerary rites practiced by those living in parts of mainland Britain during the first millennium AD included burning complete or parts of animals on the pyre. This thesis highlights the potential for archaeozoological analysis of faunal pyre goods using assemblages from the first millennium AD as a dataset. Experimental study and the integration of current research from a number of disciplines is used to suggest that although pyrolysis and cremation practices fragment and distort burnt bone assemblages, careful analysis can reveal a wealth of data leading to the interpretation of various forms of pyre good. The results of the author¿s analysis of material from the sites of Brougham, Cumbria, St. Stephen¿s, Hertfordshire, Castleford, West Yorkshire and Heath Wood, Derbyshire are combined with data from other published cemeteries to suggest a series of chronological and regional continuities in the use of animals but with a distinct change at the start of the Early Medieval period. The results from Brougham are particularly significant as they alter preconceived views on the utilisation of animals in Romano-British funerary practice. Cremation burials in first millennium AD Britain are shown to include the burnt remains of predominantly domestic taxa with occasional wild species. The pyre goods are interpreted as representing food offerings, companions, amulets, gaming items and sacrifices. This thesis demonstrates that cremated animal bone should not be disregarded but rather valued as source of archaeozoological data, and a significant functional tool for interpreting past funerary behaviour and animal utilisation.

195	A Saxon state : Anglo-Saxonism and the English nation, 1703-1805 Frazier, Dustin M. January 2013 (has links) For the past century, medievalism studies generally and Anglo-Saxonism studies in particular have largely dismissed the eighteenth century as a dark period in English interest in the Anglo-Saxons. Recent scholarship has tended to elide Anglo-Saxon studies with Old English studies and consequently has overlooked contributions from fields such as archaeology, art history and political philosophy. This thesis provides the first re-examination of scholarly, antiquarian and popular Anglo-Saxonism in eighteenth-century England and argues that, far from disappearing, interest in Anglo-Saxon culture and history permeated British culture and made significant contributions to contemporary formulations and expressions of Englishness and English national, legal and cultural identities. Each chapter examines a different category of Anglo-Saxonist production or activity, as those categories would be distributed across current scholarship, in order to explore the ways in which the Anglo-Saxons were understood and deployed in the construction of contemporary cultural- historiographical narratives. The first three chapters contain, respectively, a review of the achievements of the ‘Oxford school' of Saxonists of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries; antiquarian Anglo-Saxon studies by members of the Society of Antiquaries of London and their correspondents; and historiographical presentations of the Anglo-Saxons in local, county and national histories. Chapters four and five examine the appearance of the Anglo-Saxons in visual and dramatic art, and the role of Anglo-Saxonist legal and juridical language in eighteenth-century politics, with reference to discoveries resulting from the academic and antiquarian research outlined in chapters one to three. It is my contention that Anglo-Saxonism came to serve as a unifying ideology of origins for English citizens concerned with national history, and political and social institutions. As a popular as well as scholarly ideology, Anglo-Saxonism also came to define English national character and values, an English identity recognised and celebrated as such both at home and abroad. 942.07
196	La Grande Loge Nationale Indépendante et Régulière pour la France et les Colonies Françaises (1910-1940) / The Regular National Grand Lodge of France (1910-1940) Delon, Francis 19 June 2018 (has links) Créée le 5 novembre 1913, la Grande Loge Nationale Indépendante et Régulière (GLNIR) occupe une place particulière dans le paysage maçonnique français. En effet, à la différence du Grand Orient de France et de la Grande Loge de France fortement impliqués dans les problèmes de société, elle s’attache essentiellement à la formation morale de ses membres à partir d’une approche symbolique. L’accent sera plus particulièrement mis sur les points suivants : - la notion de « régularité maçonnique » définie par la Grande Loge Unie d’Angleterre. - les raisons de l’absence d’une Grande Loge « régulière » en France, malgré la création de deux Ateliers francophones à Londres. - l’évolution de la Loge anglophone « « Anglo-Saxon Lodge » n°343, créée en 1899 par des Maçons anglais et américains au sein de la Grande Loge de France, non reconnue également par Londres bien qu’elle exige de ses membres la croyance au « Grand Architecte de l’Univers ». - l’influence méconnue du courant maçonnique spiritualiste du lyonnais Jean Bricaud. - l’échec de Ribaucourt et de sa Loge « Le Centre des Amis » conduits à former cette nouvelle structure en raison de l’opposition du Grand Orient de France à la présence d’un rite chrétien, le Régime Écossais Rectifié. - la création de Loges militaires anglaises et le non ralliement escompté d’autres Ateliers du Grand Orient de France pendant la Première Guerre Mondiale. - la spécificité de la GLNIR (prépondérance britannique, problèmes de conscience des francs-maçons catholiques, évolution de ses 34 Ateliers et rôle pionnier de ses deux Loges de recherches). - les relations avec la Grande Loge Unie d’Angleterre et les autres Grandes Loges « régulières » et l’impact de la Déclaration de 1929 définissant strictement les principes de la « Régularité ». / Founded on November 5th 1913, the Regular National Grand Lodge of France plays a specific role in French Freemasonry. Indeed, unlike the Grand Orient of France and the Grand Lodge of France which are strongly committed to social issues, it focuses on the moral formation of its members and has a a symbolical approach. The following points will be emphasized: - the notion of “Masonic Regularity” defined by the United Grand Lodge of England ; - the reasons for the absence of a “regular” Grand Lodge in France in spite of the foundation of two French speaking lodges in London ; - the evolution of the English speaking Lodge “Anglo-Saxon” n°343 founded in 1899 by several English and American Masons under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of France but not recognized by London although it required its members to believe in the Great Architect of the Universe ; - the underestimated influence of the spiritualist Masonic current of Jean Bricaud, the mason from Lyon; - the failure of Bro. De Ribaucourt and his Lodge “Centre des Amis” to form this new structure because of the opposition of the Grand Orient of France to the presence of a Christian Rite: the Rectified Scottish Rite ; - the setting of British Military Lodges and the failure to rally several other Lodges of the Grand Orient of France during World War I ; - the specificity of the Regular National Grand Lodge of France (British predominance, the moral qualms of catholic Freemasons and the pioneer role of its two Lodges of Research) ; - the relations with the United Grand Lodge of England and the other “Regular” Grand Lodges, and the impact of the Declaration of 1929 promulgating the Basic Principles for Grand Lodge Recognition. « Régularité » Déclaration de 1929 De Ribaucourt « Centre des Amis » « Anglo-Saxon Lodge n°343 » Loges Militaires Britanniques Loges Anglophones Loges de Recherche Regular National Grand Lodge of France « Regularity » Declaration of 1929 De Ribaucourt « Centre des Amis » « Anglo-Saxon Lodge n°343 » British Military Lodges English Speaking Lodges Lodges of Research
197	La transformation poétique de Judith dans le poème en vieil-anglais "Judith" : de veuve pieuse juive à vierge héroïque anglo-saxonne Lauzon, Nicolas 08 1900 (has links) Entre la deuxième moitié du Xe siècle et le début du XIe siècle, le poème en vieil-anglais Judith est rédigée dans un des grands centres monastiques du monde anglo-saxon. Ce poème, basé sur le texte biblique du Livre de Judith, est le résultat de la rencontre du matériel biblique traditionnel et de la tradition poétique héroïque anglo-saxonne. De cette rencontre, surgit une œuvre célébrant l’histoire biblique et les enseignements moraux qu’elle porte, ainsi que les valeurs de la culture aristocratique anglo-saxonne et de l’héroïsme. Le poème Judith est donc un exemple fort d’adaptation culturelle du matériel biblique. Ce mémoire s’intéresse à cette question d’adaptation culturelle, mais plus encore celle de la coexistence de différentes traditions et références culturelles au sein du Judith. À travers ce mémoire, il sera question de déterminer la nature de cette coexistence, à savoir comment celle-ci s’articule-t-elle ? Est-ce que le poème présente un cas de hiérarchisation entre ces différentes références culturelles ? Ou bien serait-il plus juste de parler de pluralisme et de parallélisme culturels ? Finalement, qu’elle est l’importance du contexte historique du Xe et XIe siècle dans l’élaboration du Judith ? À la suite de notre analyse du poème et du contexte historique nous démontrerons que le Judith est une œuvre de parallélisme culturel où chaque référence culturelle est présentée sans besoin de hiérarchie. De plus, nous démontrerons que le Judith est le résultat des mutations de la société anglo-saxonne entre le IXe et le XIe siècle et de l’instabilité politique et militaire causée par les conflits entre Anglo-Saxons et Scandinaves. / Between the second half of the10th century and the beginning of the 11th century, the Old English poem Judith was written in one of the great monastic centers of the Anglo-Saxon world. This poem, based on the biblical text of the Book of Judith, is the result of the meeting of traditional biblical material and the heroic Anglo-Saxon poetic tradition. From this encounter emerges a work celebrating biblical history and the moral teachings it carries, as well as the values of Anglo-Saxon aristocratic culture and heroism. The poem Judith is therefore a strong example of cultural adaptation of biblical material. This thesis is concerned with this question of cultural adaptation, but even more with that of the coexistence of different traditions and cultural references within the Old English poem Judith. Throughout this thesis, it will be a question of determining the nature of this coexistence, namely how is it articulated? Does the poem present a case of hierarchization between these different cultural references? Or would it be fairer to speak of cultural pluralism and parallelism? Finally, how important is the historical context of the 10th and 11th centuries in the development of this poem? Following our analysis of the poem and its historical context we will demonstrate that Judith is a work of cultural parallelism where each cultural reference is presented without the need for hierarchy. In addition, we will demonstrate that the Judith is the result of changes in Anglo-Saxon society between the 9th and 11th centuries and the political and military instability caused by conflicts between Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians.

198	Infernal imagery in Anglo-Saxon charters Hofmann, Petra January 2008 (has links) This doctoral dissertation analyses depictions of hell in sanctions, i.e. threats of punishments in Anglo-Saxon charters. I am arguing that an innovative use of sanctions as pastoral and ideological instruments effected the peak of infernal imagery in the sanctions of tenth-century royal diplomas. Belonging to the genre of ritual curses, Anglo-Saxon sanctions contain the three standard ecclesiastical curses (excommunication, anathema and damnation). It cannot be established if other requirements of ritual cursing (authoritative personnel, setting and gestures) were fulfilled. A lack of evidence, together with indications of more secular punishments, suggests that sanctions were not used as legal instruments. Their pastoral function is proposed by frightening depictions of hell and the devil, as fear is an important means of achieving salvation in biblical, homiletic and theological writings available or produced in Anglo-Saxon England. The use of the infernal motifs of Hell as a Kitchen, Satan as the Mouth of Hell and winged demons in sanctions are discussed in detail. Sanctions frequently contain the overtly didactic and pastoral device of the exemplum. Notorious sinners believed to be damned in hell (e.g. Judas) are presented as negative exempla in sanctions to deter people from transgressing against charters. The repeated use of terms from classical mythology for depicting hell in Anglo-Saxon sanctions appears to correlate with the preference for hermeneutic Latin by tenth-century monastic reformers. The reasons for employing classical mythological terminology seem to agree with those suggested for the use of hermeneutic Latin (intellectual snobbery and raising the stylistic register), and glossaries constitute the main source of both types of Latinity. The sanctions of the Refoundation Charter of New Minster, Winchester, which is known to display the ‘ruler theology’ propagated by the monastic reform, are examined in their textual contexts with regard to the observations made in the earlier parts of this dissertation.
199	“The Nonmusical Message Will Endure With It:” The Changing Reputation and Legacy of John Powell (1882-1963) Adam, Karen 24 April 2012 (has links) This thesis explores the changing reputation and legacy of John Powell (1882-1963). Powell was a Virginian-born pianist, composer, and ardent Anglo-Saxon supremacist who created musical propaganda to support racial purity and to define the United States as an exclusively Anglo-Saxon nation. Although he once enjoyed international fame, he has largely disappeared from the public consciousness today. In contrast, the legacies of many of Powell’s musical contemporaries, such as Charles Ives and George Gershwin, have remained vigorous. By examining the ways in which the public has perceived and portrayed Powell both during and after his lifetime, this thesis links Powell’s obscurity to a deliberate, public rejection of his Anglo-Saxon supremacist definition of the United States.

200	Rupture et continuité : étude comparative du clergé anglo-saxon du Xe siècle issu de la Regularis Concordia avec le clergé anglo-normand des XIe et XIIe siècles Simard, Joël 04 1900 (has links) Ce mémoire a pour but de comparer l’état du clergé anglo-saxon de la période de la Regularis Concordia du Xe siècle, avec celui du clergé anglo-normand d’après conquête situé entre 1060 et 1150. La base de cette recherche se fera à partir des sources narratives les plus pertinentes pour cette période. Mais celles-ci ne seront utilisées qu’en support puisque l’essentiel de ce mémoire sera basé sur le dépouillement des listes d’archevêques, d’évêques et d’abbés ayant vécu entre 1060 à 1150. Nous détaillerons leurs origines géographiques, les charges qu’ils ont occupées durant leur vie de même que leurs réseaux sociaux. Nous tenterons de démontrer que contrairement à l’idée reçue, il n’y eut pas de véritable réforme du clergé anglo-normand suite à la conquête, mais davantage une mise à jour de ce dernier, et qu’en fait, le modèle de gouvernance qui fut imposé au clergé anglo-normand au tournant du XIIe siècle fut largement inspiré du fonctionnement de l’Église normande. / This thesis aims at comparing the state of the Anglo-Saxon clergy from the Regularis Concordia period of the 10th century with the state of the Anglo-Norman clergy of the post- conquest era from 1060 to 1150. This research will be based on the most relevant narrative sources available for this period. However, they will be used only as support since the main part of the thesis will be based on various listings of archbishops, bishops and abbots, who have lived between 1060 and 1150. We will study in details their geographic origins, the positions they held as well as their social networks. We will try to demonstrate that contrary to preconceived ideas, a true reform of the Anglo-Norman clergy did not occur following the conquest. The Anglo-Norman clergy was simply updated. Also, the governance model, which was imposed to the Anglo-Norman clergy at the turn of the 12th century, was largely inspired by the functioning of the Norman Church.
