Mischlingskinder, also referred to as brown babies were the illegitimate children of African American occupation soldiers in post-World War II Germany. The complexities of their existence are often discussed in the context of national identity, racial identity and diplomacy. Their existence in Germany presented social struggles for the children as well as their mothers as a post Nazi German began towards society of racial acceptance. A few cases, through the cooperation of both the US and German government, some of the children were eligible for adoptions by African American families in America through the Brown Baby Adoption Plan. A thematic analysis was performed on 20 archived newspaper articles to uncover the different themes in which the children are discussed. My question is whether these themes connect to a lager theoretical concept of the “priceless child”. The results uncovered themes in which the brown babies were discussed which included their treatment in Germany, neglect, adoption and arrival in adoptive homes. The narratives of the children change over time in relation to the specific themes.

A headteacher recruitment crisis continues in the primary education sector (Howson & Sprigate, 2011; Rhodes et al., 2008). This research offers a voice for an increasingly marginalised group and synthesises the experiences of 15 primary headteachers, including retired, experienced and new school leaders against the changing educational scenery of four decades. An extended metaphor describing a changing epistemological landscape is utilised (Pascale, 2011), including dramaturgical discourse (Goffman, 1974). The research assesses whether the lived experiences of school leaders evidence a supposed movement away from the ‘freedom’ of the ‘secret garden’ of the pre-National Curriculum era to a time of reducing freedoms for headteachers under a central panoptic gaze (Foucault 1979; Ball 2006) and then to a new ‘supported autonomy’ as suggested by ‘Education Excellence Everywhere’ (DfE, 2016). The thesis assesses the capacity of phenomenological methodology to address the research questions and distinctions are made between approaches to phenomenology. A case is made for ensuring critical rationalism within the methodology and difficulties of attaining ‘epoche’ and ‘phenomenological reduction’ are debated. Findings support the view that there have been significant changes to headship over time. Analysis of these changes does not support the concept of a linear movement from a time of freedom to a landscape defined by Panopticism. The research suggests that a new paradigmatic shift is significantly changing the nature of primary headship with new forms of executive leadership and structures for leadership progression. Recommendations call for a reduction in the frequency of change for school leaders, a simplification of the inspection grading system, provision of clearer pathways to headship and greater support for school leaders as local authority services decline and safeguarding for leaders from the growth of social media abuse. This research offers a unique insight into headship and addresses an identified gap in educational research.

<p>Today the problem of dirty streets is often mentioned in media indicating that it is an environmental and a social problem that needs to be solved. Trash lying around destroys the city picture affecting people negatively. Moreover, unpicked trash might have some devastating consequences in terms of rats and other animals. The population segment that trashes the most is youth between 15 and 29 years old. This study was conducted in order to see whether any specific action can be undertaken to affect young people who cause most of trashing and to reduce their environmentally unfriendly behavior.</p><p>In this thesis, the aim is to see how youth who is environmentally unfriendly is different from environmentally friendly in terms of a mindset; how those who are unfriendly think about trashing today and later test different stimuli to find out their effectiveness on the thinking patterns of these individuals.</p><p>The research method consisted of two parts using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. First one was a focus group interview which was chosen as an appropriate method to elicit the stimuli with potential to change a mindset.

This technique’s purpose is to study and describe the values and attitudes of one individual. In this paper this technique was used on two occasions. The result of the first occasion indicated the person’s current mindset toward environment. After that, the person was presented certain stimulus that had a potential to change that person’s thinking pattern and behaviour.

This can be implemented by putting more trashcans on the streets. Moreover, to make the gap even less it would be possible to make the trashcans more aesthetically nice to the eye.

Today the problem of dirty streets is often mentioned in media indicating that it is an environmental and a social problem that needs to be solved. Trash lying around destroys the city picture affecting people negatively. Moreover, unpicked trash might have some devastating consequences in terms of rats and other animals.

This study was conducted in order to see whether any specific action can be undertaken to affect young people who cause most of trashing and to reduce their environmentally unfriendly behavior. In this thesis, the aim is to see how youth who is environmentally unfriendly is different from environmentally friendly in terms of a mindset; how those who are unfriendly think about trashing today and later test different stimuli to find out their effectiveness on the thinking patterns of these individuals.

Indonesia has the greatest number of overseas Chinese in the world; however, ethnic Chinese is the third largest ethnic group in Indonesia. Due to different history and culture, there is a gap between indigenous people and ethnic Chinese. Therefore, the Indonesian government regulated many policies which were against ethnic Chinese since 1949. The policies on ethnic Chinese during the periods of President Sukarno and President Suharto had been changed from loose to strict, and from strict to assimilation, and from assimilation to deregulation. After the era of Suharto, the policies on ethnic Chinese were changed again to pluralism. However, China is the specific factor in Indonesia¡¦s changing policy toward ethnic Chinese. Therefore, this research is trying to discuss Indonesia¡¦s changing policies on ethnic Chinese during the periods of President Sukarno and President Suharto and to the post Suharto era, which is also the democratization stage. After discussing the policy- changing on ethnic Chinese, the thesis will also analyze the role of China in the process of Indonesia¡¦s changing policies toward ethnic Chinese.

Abstract The role of military instructor was quite important in the military teaching, student counseling, the safty of a campus. Because of educational revolution and the whole people's national defence education, military instructor has been faced heavy attack. The purpose of this study are to find the relationship between recognition of changing in civilian post, organizational loyalty & job involvement¡VAn example of south military instructor in senior high school. This research uses Factor analysis, T-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression to study the relations of variance. 600 questionnaires were released. 241 are available. The results of this research result from the statistical analysis of three variables. They are recognition of changing in civilian post, organizational loyalty & job involvement. According to the analysis of the research data, we can get the findings of the study as follows¡G 1.¡§Benefit recognition¡¨and¡§adaptation recognition¡¨of recognition of changing in civilian post have positive influence to organizational loyalty. 2.¡§Internalization obligation,¡¨¡§identification to dedication,¡¨¡§initiative,¡¨and¡§ organizational compliance,¡¨of organizational loyalty have positive influence to job involvement. 3.¡§Benefit recognition¡¨and¡§adaptation recognition¡¨of recognition of changing in civilian post have positive influence to job involvement. 4.¡§Benefit recognition¡¨and¡§adaptation recognition¡¨of recognition of changing in civilian post indirect positive influence over job involvementthrough organizational loyalty as the intermediary variable. It is hoped that this results will provide useful information to the policy and decision makers as well as education administrations on how to manage and improve the quality of a military instructor's service on a campus.

A nation¡¦s military strategy is changes with the integrated environment¡¦s transformation in different time which including international environment, national power and types of war. Two things had happen in the phase from later of 1980¡¦s to early of 1990¡¦s: 1. The collapse of Soviet Union and East European Communist Group that caused the international system became multi-pole system (or one super power and several great power system ); 2. The Gulf War in 1991 that means the type of war started to transform from mechanical war to informational war. In the such conditions. China decided to change it¡¦s military strategy in the new era from ¡§prepare to handle the local war in the normal conditions¡¨ to ¡§prepare to win the local war in the high technical conditions¡¨ in 1993. Then, China declared it¡¦s military strategy transformed from ¡§prepare to win the local war in the high technical conditions¡¨ to ¡§prepare to win the local war in the informational conditions¡¨ in China¡¦s National Defense White Paper 2004 and 2006. The paper focus on China¡¦s military strategy changing in the post cold war era that including four main parts: 1. An Analysis of the environment¡¦s changing of military strategy, such as international environment, types of war, military affairs changes, developments of economics, technology and informational; 2. An Analysis of the transformations of China¡¦s strategy culture and national security strategy; 3. An Analysis of the developments of military strategy source that including military institutions and organizations, national defense technology and weapon system, military education and training, military logistics and expense; 4. A forecast of the trend and limitations of China¡¦s military strategy in the future.
