This paperwork is based on microsociolinguistic research perspective. Speech material was recorded in group of eight young people during nonofficial endurance. The main objective of this paperwork is detail analysis of foreign elements used by Polish youth and presence of their functions in communication process. There were used two research methods: questionnaire and tape-recording of speech during meetings, which topic was religious issue. One part is dedicated to citations (interferences) – elements from foreign languages included into Polish syntax context, which lack any designators of adaptation of grammar and phonetics. In case of classification of citations grammar criteria was accepted as overriding. On this basis all foreign interferences were classified according to parts of speech. The other part of this paperwork presents inputs of longer expressions into speech, which in literature are defined as code switching.

This paper conducts rankings on political science and public administration journals based on a database of citations for all articles within a set of 200 journals, during 2010-2013. This paper contributes to prior literature within the realm of Political Science, by tabulating journal rankings through non-traditional means. While rankings of political science and public administration journals have traditionally been dominated by a survey-based approach, recent advancements in technology have allowed researchers to conduct more subjective rankings based upon a bibliometric approach. However, the majority of these citational rankings utilize obscure metrics, which do not correspond directly to the number of citations a potential author can expect. This paper attempts to provide readers with more concrete metrics, which translate directly to how many citations an author can expect. This study tabulates journals based on three main metrics: Median Number of Citations, Citation Percentage, and 90th Percentile of Citations. This study identifies Transportation Research Part B, American Political Science Review, International Organization, American Journal of Political Science and Transportation Research Part A, as the top five journals within the set of 200 political science and public administration journals.

Le chapitre introductif présente les évolutions récentes de l'industrie pharmaceutique et les concepts de brevets pionniers et de dépôts de brevets stratégiques analysés dans les trois autres chapitres de la thèse. Le second chapitre analyse la performance à l'innovation des entreprises pharmaceutiques avant la vague de fusions acquisitions des années 90. Selon nos résultats, les dépôts de brevets pionniers ne sont pas persistants sur le court terme, contrairement aux autres dépôts de brevets. En outre, les grands laboratoires pharmaceutiques effectuent principalement des dépôts de brevets cumulatifs. Le troisième chapitre analyse les déterminants technologiques des acquisitions. Le choix des cibles apparaît étroitement lié à leurs performances en matière de dépôts de brevets pionniers. Le dernier chapitre montre que ces opérations ont permis aux acquéreurs d'accroître leurs performances à l'innovation dans le domaine des biotechnologies: les années suivant ces opérations, les acquéreurs accroissent plus rapidement que les non-acquéreurs la proportion de brevets biotechnologiques pionniers dans leur portefeuille de brevets.

Tom Murphy, dramaturgo irlandês, apropria-se da tradição e a reescreve transformando-a e contextualizando-a para a Irlanda contemporânea. O trabalho trata de três peças: The Morning After Optimism (1971), The Sanctuary Lamp (1976) e The Gigli Concert (1983), que se caracterizam, predominantemente, pela reescritura. O estudo tem por objetivo analisar como a herança literária efetivamente ocorre na composição das peças de Tom Murphy, através da intertextualidade em citações, alusões, paródias, reescrituras e outras formas, bem como entender os motivos do autor utilizar-se de obras da tradição clássica, renascentista, medieval, dos contos populares, das óperas e música popular para escrever as três peças. / Thomas Murphy, an Irish playwright, appropriates tradition and rewrites it transforming and transcontextualizing it to the contemporary Ireland. The dissertation deals with three plays: The Morning After Optimism (1971), The Sanctuary Lamp (1976) and The Gigli Concert (1983) which are predominantely characterized by rewriting. The study aims to analyze how literary heritage effectively occurs in Tom Murphy\'s plays through intertextuality in citations, allusions, parodies, rewriting and other related forms, as well to understand why the author uses works of art from classical, renaissance, medieval, fairy tale, opera and popular music tradition to write the three plays.

Abstract Leaders of nonprofit organizations have challenging responsibilities of satisfying the demands of all their stakeholders by obeying state and federal regulations. Noncompliance of regulations can quickly cause a nonprofit organization to lose its tax exempt status and become nonexistent; thus, it appears that most nonprofits are choosing to prioritize compliance, while struggling to maintain focus on their mission and services. Using the conceptual framework of transformational leadership and general system theories, this case study was to explore strategies leaders of nonprofits organizations in Pennsylvania that cater to the needs of people with disabilities use for decreasing regulatory citations to maintain their tax-exempt status. The population for this study consisted of 5 leaders of a single nonprofit organization in Pennsylvania, who were purposefully selected with experience for managing nonprofit organizations prevent citations and maintain their tax-exempt status. I collected data through semistructured interviews and analyzed the data through inducive word phrase coding and theme interpretation. Five themes emerged from my analysis of the data: the use of rules as a guide for quality improvement, leadership focus on organizational strategy, teamwork, effective communication, and training, as a means of empowering and educating team members on organizational values and rules. This study contributes to positive social change by teaching nonprofit leaders’ various strategies for decreasing regulatory citations, fines, to maintain their tax-exempt status, and fulfill their social missions of providing needed services in communities.

In this thesis we present a technique to group search-engine returned citations for person-name queries, such that the search-engine returned citations in each group belong to the same person. To group the returned citations we use a multi-faceted approach that considers evidence from three facets: (1) attributes, (2) links, and (3) page similarity. For each facet we generate a confidence matrix. Then we construct a final confidence matrix for all facets. Using a threshold, we apply a grouping algorithm on the final confidence matrix. The output is a group of search-engine returned citations, such that the citations in each group relate to the same person.
