A presente tese apresenta uma proposta de leitura/análise do texto grego da Epístola de Tiago que pertence, no corpus bíblico, ao Novo Testamento. A leitura/análise é feita aplicando-se conceitos, noções e metodologias das Ciências da Linguagem, modernamente empregadas na análise dos mais variados gêneros discursivos. O trabalho se constitui de três partes distintas: a primeira, em que se apresenta sumariamente a metodologia utilizada e são feitas algumas reflexões sobre o contexto, a utilização da língua grega, e o gênero do discurso epistolar. A segunda, na qual é apresentada uma proposta de teoria que tem como objetivo identificar uma estrutura e um processo para a INSTÂNCIA DA ENUNCIAÇÃO. Na terceira parte, são feitas leituras análises: do contexto e do gênero do discurso de Tiago; dos recursos do sistema da língua grega como o aspecto verbal, o particípio grego e a espacialização marcada desde o léxico; da discursivização do destinatário como indicando a possibilidade de que o orador Tiago seja destinador de um discurso dirigido tanto a um auditório particular como universal. As ciências da linguagem utilizadas prioritariamente foram: nossa proposta de visão teórica da instância da enunciação, a lingüística textual, a argumentação, e a semiótica da Escola de Paris. Tanto o referencial teórico como as leituras/análises feitas tiveram como objetivo mostrar a aplicabilidade de metodologias modernas em textos antigos religiosos - e escritos na língua original, bem como na busca de uma argumentação, coesão e coerência para o discurso de Tiago. / The present thesis presents a Greek text reading/analysis proposal of the Epistle of James that pertence, in corpus biblical, to the New Testament. The reading/analysis is made applying concepts, language Sciences Notions and methodologies, modernly employed in the analysis of the most varied discursive genders. The research constitutes of three distinct parts: The first, in which we present summarily the used methodology and some reflections on context are done, the Greek language system utilization, and the epistolary discourse gender. The second, in which is presented a theory proposal that has as goal identify a structure and a process for the enunciation instance. In the third part, readings analyses are done: of context and of the speech gender of James; of the Greek language system resources as the verbal aspect, the Greek participle and for spacialization marked since the lexicon; of the addressee\'s speechlization as indicating the possibility that the speaker James is destinator of a driven speech so much to a particular auditorium as universal. The sciences of the used language priority were: own theoretical vision of enunciation instance, the textual linguistics, the argumentation, and the semiotics of Paris School. Both the theoretical reference as the readings/analyses done had as goal of showing the applicability of modern methodologies in old texts - religious - and written in the original tongue, and in the search of an argumentation, cohesion and coherence for James\'s Speech.

O modelo convencional de organização da cadeia de produção e distribuição de alimentos é baseado na dependência cada vez maior do capital financeiro e industrial, no uso de agroquímicos, adubos, fertilizantes industriais e de outras técnicas provenientes da Revolução Verde, na livre circulação de mercadorias nos países e na inserção de intermediários na cadeia de distribuição. Esse modelo representa um movimento de mercantilização da agricultura e prejudica a autonomia dos indivíduos sobre a sua reprodução material e social, fazendo com que a sociedade enfrente um incremento de pobreza, insegurança alimentar, êxodo rural, danos à saúde e ao meio ambiente, assim como uma perda do senso de comunidade e de solidariedade. Além da compreensão do conceito e das formas de expressão do movimento de mercantilização, a lente teórica, que tem origem em Karl Polanyi, possibilita capturar o conceito da pluralidade e da coexistência dos princípios de regulação econômica e também do contramovimento como uma forma de resistência e de resgate da autonomia relativa dos indivíduos. É nesse contexto que a Agricultura Sustentada pela Comunidade (CSA) surge como uma possibilidade de contramovimento ao mercado convencional de alimentos ao adicionar uma qualidade ao ato de alimentar-se pela produção agroecológica e ao reconectar produção e consumo mediante o encurtamento da cadeia de distribuição. O problema que norteou a pesquisa desta dissertação foi compreender quais seriam as formas de contramovimento que se configuram na Agricultura Sustentada pela Comunidade diante da generalização do processo de mercantilização. Por isso, o objetivo geral consistiu em compreender e analisar, em uma experiência real de CSA situada na região sudeste do Brasil, os padrões de troca não mercantil em operação e os fatores que favorecem a autonomia relativa e elevam a coesão social de produtores e consumidores que participam da experiência observada. O método empregado foi a observação participante, utilizando as técnicas da etnografia. Em termos gerais, os resultados encontrados na pesquisa sinalizam que os indivíduos não são passivos diante dos efeitos da mercantilização e articulam-se em movimentos que buscam proteção e ganho de autonomia. Os resultados confirmam a hipótese inicial de que nas atividades de CSA coexistem, com a troca de mercado, outros princípios de regulação da economia, especificamente a reciprocidade, que aparece em diversos momentos, desde as motivações para o engajamento dos indivíduos até a forma em que a própria troca é realizada. Isso porque ao privilegiar nas suas trocas o ato em vez do objeto e do interesse privado, há menção a uma relação mais humana que permite o estabelecimento de amizade, solidariedade, tolerância, fidelidade e comprometimento mútuos, mas, principalmente, possibilita a ampliação da autonomia relativa dos indivíduos e o estabelecimento de um senso de comunidade, que se faz em torno do alimento. Na pesquisa, foram identificados três fatores específicos desta eficácia: a forma de produzir o alimento, oposto ao da agricultura tradicional, o encurtamento da cadeia e as atividades em conjunto mobilizadas pelo grupo de agricultores e consumidores. Desta forma, a Agricultura Sustentada pela Comunidade constitui um contramovimento à mercantilização na agricultura e aparece como uma alternativa eficaz na construção da autonomia daqueles que estão entrelaçados nessa rede de alimentos e na ampliação da coesão social. Os resultados e conclusões apresentados ao longo da dissertação ganham relevância na medida em que contribuem com novas informações e possibilidades de atuação na reversão do êxodo rural, na diminuição da pobreza, na redução de gastos públicos em saúde com uma alimentação mais saudável, assim como na promoção de iniciativas de preservação do meio ambiente. / The conventional model of organization of the production and distribution of food chain is based on the increasing dependence on the financial and industrial capital, the use of agrochemicals, fertilizers, industrial fertilizers and other techniques from the Green Revolution, the free circulation of goods in countries and the inclusion of intermediaries in the distribution chain. This model represents a movement of commodification of agriculture and undermines the autonomy of individuals concerning their material and social reproduction, leading society to a status of poverty, food insecurity, rural exodus, damage to health and environment, as well as to a loss of sense of community and solidarity. In addition to understanding the concept and the ways of expression of the commodification movement, the theoretical approach, based on Karl Polanyi, enables to capture the concept of plurality and coexistence of the principles of economic regulation and also the countermovement as a form of resistance and rescue of the individuals’ autonomy. In this context, the Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) emerges as a possibility of countermovement to the conventional food market to add quality to the act of feeding by the agroecological production and to reconnect production and consumption by shortening the supply chain. The problem that guided the research of this dissertation was to understand what are the forms of countermovement that are present in the Community-Supported Agriculture before the generalization of the commodification process. Therefore, the overall objective was to understand and analyze, in a real experience of CSA located in southeast region of Brazil, the patterns of non-market exchange and the elements that favor the relative autonomy and increase social cohesion among producers and consumers participating in the observed experience. The method used was participant observation, using the techniques of ethnography. In general, the results found in the study show that individuals are not passive before the effects of commodification and they articulate in movements that seek protection and autonomy. The results confirm the initial hypothesis that, in the CSA, activities coexist with the exchange market, such as other principles of regulation of economy, especially reciprocity, which appears at various times, in motivation for engagement and in the way the exchange itself is performed. This happens because, when they prioritize their exchanges act instead of the object and the private interest, they develop a more human relationship that allows the establishment of friendship, solidarity, tolerance, mutual fidelity and commitment and also enable the expansion of autonomy of individuals and establish a sense of community, which is around the food. In this study, we have identified three specific elements that contribute to the effectiveness of the process: the way of producing food, as opposed to traditional agriculture, the shortening of chain and the activities in group promoted by the group of farmers and consumers. Thus, the Community-Supported Agriculture is a countermovement to the commodification in agriculture and an effective alternative in the construction of autonomy of those who are part of this net of food and in the expansion of social cohesion. The results and conclusions presented throughout the dissertation are relevant since they contribute with new information and possibilities of actions to slowdown rural exodus, alleviate poverty, reduce public spending on health with a healthier diet, as well as to promote the development of initiatives to preserve the environment.

This work is based on the belief that the Provisional IRA developed its combat effectiveness through enhancing its small-unit effectiveness. Although PIRA ultimately failed in its objective to reunify Ireland, it successfully waged a thirty-year long campaign against the British military. The current state of terrorism studies does not explain how this was possible. It can explain the development of PIRA’s strategy, membership type and weapons used but it lacks sufficient explanation of small-unit dynamics. By drawing on the ideas of Huntington and King, among others, this work argues that PIRA successfully professionalised its small-unit tactics and this was the source of its increased effectiveness. By examining changes in structure, training, specialisation, motivation and identity it will be possible to demonstrate whether professionalism did have an effect. Ultimately, the findings of this research will provide an example for others to follow in their efforts to understand past and present terror threats.

Cohesion is essential for team harmony and performance. It is universally sought in sport teams. The benefits have been extensively studied and are a requirement of team success. Counter to wide held belief, cohesion is not an intrinsically positive phenomenon. This thesis aimed to develop more understanding of the potential disadvantages or costs of high cohesion in sport teams to fill a significant gap in the literature. Study 1 examined the extent and nature of these costs. Athletes perceived similar costs. Fourteen categories of costs were identified with perceived pressures and communication issues demonstrated to be strongly significant. Study 2 was framed in narrative theory to explore costs experienced over the life-span career of a retired professional motor sport co-driver. The most significant costs experienced were pressure to perform and pressure to conform. The key influencing factors were a performance narrative along with what was identified as a new narrative type, the team performance narrative. Study 3 utilised the lens of narrative theory to explore when and where costs were not experienced by a current elite motorsport sport driver and his team. Buffers were indicated. Study 4 was a case study of a high performing team where across the entire season team cohesion was high but performance wasn’t reciprocated accordingly. High cohesion produced costs of conformity and normative influence, rigid demands and methods with narrow goal focus, communication issues and pressure to perform. These costs are all inter-related and interacted to have a negative impact on performance. This thesis raises awareness of the potential costs of high cohesion in sport teams and, by offering a new model – the Cohesion Costs’ Reduction Model - for identifying strategies to minimise these potential costs, aims to improve individual wellbeing in a team and improve team performance.

O objetivo dessa pesquisa é analisar o texto em Escrita de Sinais (sistema SignWriting) da obra Cinderela Surda (HESSEL; KARNOPP; ROSA, 2003) no que se refere a coesão textual. Especificamente, identificamos as estratégias de referenciar personagens no texto e de conexão entre trechos relevantes da narrativa. Para fundamentação teórica, baseamos em Koch e Travaglia (2001), Fávero (2002) e Marcuschi (2008) sobre coesão e coerência textual, em Bolgueroni e Viotti (2013) sobre referência nominal em Libras, e em Nobre (2011) e Barreto e Barreto (2013) sobre a produção textual em Escrita de Sinais. A partir da análise da obra, observamos que a retomada de referentes acontece através de (i) proformas, em pronomes, advérbio e numeral, (ii) elipse, em verbos simples e em verbos de concordância, (iii) conjunção, por exemplo, os sinais MAS, e PORQUE, e (iv) reinteração. Identificamos a relevância dos sinais SUSTO e ACONTECE, como elementos importantes a introduzir momentos relevantes da trama, e a ausência de sinais que denotam sequencialidade temporal. A segmentação e sequencialidade de trechos da obra acontece em boa parte através do uso de imagens (elementos extratextuais). Este trabalho é oportuno porque possibilita um maior conhecimento sobre a produção textual em Escrita de Sinais, no que se refere a coesão em SignWriting, que encontra-se em expansão no Brasil / This research aims at analyzing the work Cinderela Surda (Deaf Cinderella) in Sign Writing (using Sign Writing system) (HESSEL; KARNOPP; ROSA, 2003), in terms of cohesion. Specifically, we identify the strategies to refence the characters in the text and the connection among relevant parts of the narrative. For the theoretical assumptions, we base our discussion on Koch and Travaglia (2001), Fávero (2002) and Marcuschi (2008), who discuss cohesion and coherence; Bolgueroni and Viotti (2013), who discuss nominal reference in Brazilian Sign Language; and Nobre (2011) and Barreto and Barreto (2013), who discuss text composition in Sign Writing. Parting from the analysis of the work, we observe that the reiteration of referents happens through: (i)proforms, in pronouns, adverband numbers; (i) ellipsis, in simple verbs and agreement verbs; (iii) conjunctions, for example, the sings BUT, and BECAUSE; and (iv) reintegration. We identify the relevance of the signs FRIGHT and HAPPEN, as important elements to introduce relevant moments in the plot, and the absence of signs which denote temporal sequentiality. The segmentation and sequentiality of some parts of the work happen mainly in the use of images (extratextual elements). This work is important because it enables greater knowledge on textual composition in Sign Writing, regarding cohesion in Sign Writing, which is expanding nowadays in Brazil.

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / O presente trabalho conta com cinquenta redações de alunos do curso Pré - vestibular do Sintuperj, que já concluíram o Ensino Médio e, agora, se preparam para fazer o exame de acesso ao ensino superior - vestibular. A abordagem proposta se baseia na análise da referenciação, forma de organização coesiva do texto, especificamente, o encapsulamento anafórico. Para verificar a função discursiva desse fenômeno argumentativo nas redações, a análise foi dividida em duas perspectivas: por um lado, foram investigados os tipos de cadeias de referenciação, designadas como específica, rotulando e contribuindo para a progressão referencial no texto; ou como não específica, simplesmente, retomando e resumindo o conteúdo antecedente, evitando repetições. De outro lado, ampliou-se a análise para os elementos que constituem essas cadeias, verificando como foi realizada a menção ao referente através da manutenção temática. Além disso, foi possível notar como essa manutenção dos dados no texto possibilita a coesão textual e enriquece a argumentação que o aluno faz para defender a sua tese. Portanto, pode-se afirmar que a principal contribuição que esse trabalho oferece para o ensino de língua materna concerne na abordagem do texto a partir de uma perspectiva dos processamentos cognitivos, revelando como os elementos vão sendo construídos nas redações, a partir de componentes culturais e conhecimentos diversos dos alunos, que proporcionam a progressão referencial / This work features fifty essays from students of Sintuperj preparation course - who have graduated from high school and now are preparing to take the entrance exam. The approach is based on the cohesive organization of these texts through referencing, examining the use of the articulator termed anaphoric encapsulation. To check the function of this phenomenon argumentative discourse in Essays, the analysis was divided in two perspectives: first, the types of referral chains were investigated, designated as specific, labeling and contributing to the progression reference in the text, or as non-specific, simply retrieving and summarizing the previous content, avoiding repetitions. On the other hand, the analysis was expanded to the elements of these chains, as was done by checking the reference to the referent. With this, was possible to note that this maintenance of the data in the text allows for text cohesion - evaluation criteria for college - and consistently enriches the argument that the student makes to defend his thesis. Therefore, it can be stated that the main contribution that this work provides for the teaching of native language concerns of the text from the perspective of cognitive processing, revealing how the elements are constructed in the essays, from the cultural components and knowledge of diverse students, providing the reference progression

The thesis "EU cohesion policy and its impact on the Moravian-Silesian Region" is divided into three chapters. The first chapter of the thesis describes the stages of development in the economic and social cohesion of the European integration process. This chapter is deals with the fundamental attributes of cohesion policy, which are the objectives, tools and principles. Attention is paid to the financing of the Cohesion Policy within the European Union. In the second chapter, "Cohesion Policy in the Czech Republic," the author introduces cohesion in the Czech Republic. This chapter describes the basic documents that are used for the implementation of cohesion policy in the CR and the operational programs of which the Czech Republic draws allocation. The last part of this thesis is focused on the Moravian-Silesian Region. Attention is focused on the analysis of whether the region adequately draws the funds with which it is offered through the cohesion policy and the impact of cohesion policy in this region.The aim of my work is to highlight the importance of cohesion policy. I will try to outline the role played by cohesion policy in the European Union, which takes form in the Czech Republic and how it affects the Moravian-Silesian Region. The work has illustrated the economic and social cohesion as a tool for improving the socio-economic level. I would like to assess how big a role of cohesion policy in the Region and the effect on this region.

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the territorial differentiation of the European Union and selected member countries. In this context I observe the differences in major socio-economic indicators (in GDP per capita and employment rates) across the European Union and in more detail in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Furthermore, I focus on explaining the development and the current setting of EU regional policy at EU level and the CR. The thesis is structured into three main chapters. The first chapter focuses on assessing the economic, social and regional differentiation of the Member States and EU regions. The second chapter is devoted to the analysis of regional structure and differentiation of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The final chapter covers the development and current form of regional and structural policy of the European Union.

This thesis discusses selected linguistic aspects of two radio culinary broadcasts (Rozhlas u plotny, Pochoutky). The theoretical part deals with the tradition of spoken language research, its resources and the phenomena studied. The conclusion of this chapter is devoted to the approaches to spoken language focused on coherence and cohesion. For the purposes of analysis, transcripts of above mentioned radio culinary broadcasts were made. Specific transcription rules (based on different existing transcription rules) were created, to suit our type of analysis. In Rozhlas u plotny, the guest is a professional chef, in Pochoutky, the guest is an actor or a presenter. First part of the work briefly describes and compares language of these two types of speakers in the terms of phonetics, morphology, lexicology, syntax and stylistics. Subsequently, the main part of the thesis concentrates on textual syntax and describes cohesion and coherence of spoken dialogue. From this point of view, it focuses on comparison of two types of dialogues (and two types of speakers): predominantly continuous dialogue vs. predominantly interrupted dialogue (e.g. by overlapping talk). Thus, it gives examples representing various ways of retaining cohesion and coherence in continuous dialogue and in interrupted dialogue. Key...
