Para tal, incluiu-se a estrutura a termo da taxa de juros em um modelo novo-keynesiano de economia aberta e com governo. Os resultados dos modelos com clareza e com transparência do BCB enfatizam a queda da volatilidade destas taxas, uma vez que a autoridade monetária publicou informações sobre o futuro da taxa básica de juros. Além disso, nos modelos com clareza do BCB, os choques de política monetária têm efeitos mais suaves e duradouros sobre os juros futuros, o que indica dominância da ferramenta forward guidance (clareza do BCB) na determinação destas taxas. / This paper aims to study the effects of economic transparency and the clarity of the Central Bank of Brazil on the volatility of long - term interest rates. For this purpose, the term structure of the interest rate was included in a new-keynesian model of open economy and with government. The results of the models with clarity and transparent BCB emphasize the fall in the volatility of these rates, since the monetary authority published information on the future of the basic interest rate. Moreover, in models with clarity, monetary policy shocks have smoother and longer-term effects on future interest rates, indicating the dominance of the forward guidance (BCB’s clarity) tool in determining these rates.

Detta kandidatarbete undersöker ljudbilder i film och vad som påverkar ljudbildens mättnad. Med stort fokus på Walter Murchs Dense Clarity, Clear Density (2005) bryter vi ner uppbyggnaden av en ljudbild för att få bättre förståelse kring detta. Med en egenframtagen analysmetod som fokuserar på filmers ljudbild analyserar vi scener ifrån flertalet filmer och tv-program, hittar mönster kring deras ljudläggning och hur det påverkar ljudbilden. Därefter bygger vi upp en lista med förhållningspunkter för olika typer av ljudbilder. Resultatet av undersökningen blir en förklaring av hur man uppnår olika former av ljudbilder i film och varför det blir så.

Internships are commonly used by firms for training and recruiting talents. Yet, research overlooks which factors are influential in job acceptance for interns. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of influencing factors such as task goal clarity, autonomy, mentorship and learning to job acceptance of interns after an internship program. A total of 150 copies of questionnaires were distributed online among university and graduate school students in Taiwan. 120 questionnaires were returned. The statistical methods used in this study were reliability test, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. Based from the results shown, it was found that task goal clarity and mentorships influences the learning of interns. Furthermore, autonomy affects the relationship of task goal clarity and learning. The relationship of task goal clarity and learning is expected to be stronger when autonomy is high and weaker when it is low. Lastly, learning influences the willingness of job acceptance. The recommendations from the conclusions are proposed as references for relevant organizations and future studies Keywords: task goal clarity, mentorship, autonomy, learning, job acceptance, internships / Internships are commonly used by firms for training and recruiting talents.

Entre 1650 et 1715, les Psaumes sont le livre biblique le plus souvent mis en français, en vers comme en prose. Ils répondent aux mots d’ordre de la clarté et de l’élégance, qu’ils partagent avec les belles infidèles alors à la mode. Pourtant, le style biblique est sans cesse présenté comme détaché de la rhétorique. Quelle est donc la spécificité de l’elocutio de ces psaumes français ? Elle repose d’abord sur les contraintes nées du Concile de Trente (en matière de texte-source, de traducteur et de lecteur bibliques), cadre qui informe la poétique de la traduction biblique, sur laquelle porte la deuxième partie de notre réponse. La taxinomie élaborée par Gérard Genette dans Palimpsestes trouve ici une limite diachronique. En effet, la traduction biblique de l’époque n’est pas simple : son fonctionnement hypertextuel avoisine celui de l’imitation classique, et surtout elle comporte une forte composante intertextuelle qui établit une tradition française du sacré, en particulier à partir de la traduction port-royaliste. La typologie traditionnelle de la traduction sacrée est par ailleurs revisitée au même moment : le mot à mot est abandonné au profit d’une traduction grammaticale qui côtoie la paraphrase. L’exploration du seuil entre traduction et réécriture, troisième étape, donne plus encore à repenser la frontière entre profane et sacré. Parodie et effet parodique doivent être ainsi distingués, selon une pensée de l’insinuatio qui accorde la primauté à la théorie de la réception : la particularité des psaumes français classiques consiste ainsi à ne pas adopter d’elocutio spécifique afin d’attirer pour mieux convertir. C’est ce que confirme leur entrée dans les théories poétiques et rhétoriques. / Between 1650 and 1715, turning the Book of Psalms into French, whether in prose or verse, was very common while Catholic Church was still reluctant to translating Holy Bible. Moreover, these publications prioritised clarity and aesthetic appeal, alike popular mode of fairly free translation, known as belles infidèles. Biblical style, however, had always been considered separately from classical rhetoric, and held to be free from its structures. What form of elocutio, then, can be ascribed to the French versions of the psalms ? The definition of this distinctive elocutio relies on three elements. The first one consists of the constraints imposed by the Council of Trent upon translators and readers of the Bible, and upon the choice of source-text, since these restrictions governed every biblical translation. Secondly, a reflexion above biblical translation mechanism reveals some peculiarities. On the one hand, translators often borrowed from pre-existing French translations, especially those of Port-Royal, instead of dealing purely with Latin or Hebrew of the Scriptures. On the other hand, the traditional procedure of word-by-word rendering was abandoned in favour of a grammatical translation and of a paraphrase. This development reflected a growing confidence in French. Finally, French psalms explored the boundary between translation and rewriting, and between sacred and secular language. These texts made use of secular styles familiar to the reader in order to attract him, leaving biblical inventio to convert him afterwards. That is what we called the insinuatio thought.

O objetivo consiste na construção de uma teoria da clareza jurídica, pragmática, com passos iniciais, em oposição a uma teoria clássica da clareza lingüística do direito e de uma clareza jurídica estreita, na produção, interpretação e decisão. Delineia-se um perfil de clareza jurídica, pragmática, em oposição a um perfil de uma teoria clássica, da clareza lingüística do direito e da clareza jurídica, estreita. Desloca-se para uma teoria do claro-escuro em uma teoria geral da norma jurídica e sua construção de sentido, em uma teoria geral da interpretação e uma teoria da decisão. Recorre-se à técnica do direito, como linguagem, por uma semiótica jurídica, distinguindo-se a utilização de uma semiótica no direito e de uma semiótica do direito. A máxima interpretativa, in claris cessat interpretatio, redefinida para interpretar-se norma clara e não-clara, passa a ser regra de regulagem, integrante de uma norma jurídica e do ordenamento. Na construção do claro-escuro jurídico, pragmático, o não-claro é redefinido como defeito atenuado, que convive com o claro, com seu título de validade, em um ordenamento jurídico, a partir do estatuto da linguagem, como constitutiva de seu próprio funcionamento. A clareza jurídica, pragmática, exerce o papel de controle regulador, em uma teoria da decisão. O claro-escuro, jurídico, pragmático, na qualidade de valor, torna-se regra de calibração de um ordenamento. / The objective consists in the construction of a juridic clarity theory, pragmatic, with inicial steps, in opposition of a classic theory from linguistic clarity of law and from a narrow juridic clarity, in production, interpretation and decision. There is a profile of a juridic clarity, pragmatic, in opposition of a classic theory profile, from linguistic clarity of law, and from a narrow juridic clarity. It deslocates to a chiaroscuro theory in a general theory of juridic norm and its meaning construction, in a general theory of interpretation and also a decision theory. It appeals to the law technique , as a language, for a juridic semiotic, distinguishing the utilization of a semiotic on law and of a semiotic from law. The interpretative precept, in claris cessat interpretatio, redefined to interpretate clear norm and non-clear norm, becomes a regulation rule, part of a juridic norm and of the legal system. In the construction of a juridic chiaroscuro, pragmatic, the chiaroscuro is redefined as a attenuated defeat, wich lives with the clear, with its validity title, in a legal system, starting from the language statute, as constitutive of its own operation.Juridic clarity, pragmatic, exercising the role of a regulator control, in a decision theory. The chiaroscuro, juridic, pragmatic, in the quality of value, becomes a calibration rule of a legal system.

Biological processes like species interactions and patterns such as abundance and distribution observed in nature can vary depending on the scale at which the subject of interest is evaluated. Knowing that there is no single natural scale at which systems should be studied, in this thesis, I conducted a series of basic and applied ecological approaches in order to examine the phenomena that can occur at different scales of space, time, and ecological organization. Species abundances can vary over large spatial and temporal scales. By studying the habitat use of an abundant species, which uses a wide range of habitats, insights can be gained into how seascape-scales might influence population-level patterns. Similarly, temporal scales might affect the dynamics of species that have complex life cycles where migration is involved. Therefore, in the first study I used an eight-year dataset to conduct a population-level study at broader time- and seascape- scales of an abundant species in Tampa Bay, Florida. The goal of this study was to provide the first in-depth study on the habitat use of Pinfish on the eastern Gulf of Mexico and to provide insights on how seascape-scales can influence their abundance and distribution. Predator-prey interactions can be influenced by habitat at different spatial scales. In seagrass systems, blade density can provide prey refugia at local scales, which are further embedded within the seascape-scale effect of turbidity. In the second study, I used a combination of in situ field experiments and laboratory-controlled experiments to examine and separate the effects of habitat across these local and seascape scales on the relative predation rates of tethered Pinfish (Lagodon rhomboids). The broad-scale analyses indicated that population-level differences, such as abundance patterns and distribution can be influenced by temporal and spatial scales. Field- studies showed that habitat can influence ecological interactions at local- and seascape- scales. Overall, this research demonstrates the importance of using multiple spatial and temporal scale approaches when studying ecology, especially of those organisms that move over large distances and have complex life histories.

<p>Syftet med studien var att skapa en bättre förståelse för hur några juniorishockeyspelare och deras tränare ser på hur faktorerna lagsammanhållning, spelaromsättning, roller och prestation förhåller sig till varandra och hur de arbetade med dessa faktorer. Instrumenten som användes var GEQ (Group Environment Questionnaire) och två helstrukturerade intervjuguider. Deltagarna i studien var ishockeyspelarna i ett J18-lag (n=18) och deras tränare (n=1) i en medelstor klubb i Sverige. Resultatet visade att samtliga intervjudeltagare upplevde ett positivt samband mellan lagsammanhållning, spelaromsättning, rollklarhet och prestation. Sambandet beskrevs dock som cirkulärt, att alla faktorerna var beroende av varandra och påverkades av varandra. Spelaromsättningen upplevdes som positiv då den skapade konkurrens och förbättrade prestationen. Talang och intresse var basen för den formella rollfördelningen. Spelarna upplevde att de var klara över sina roller och att det bidrog till både bättre lagsammanhållning och ökad prestation.</p><p>The purpose of this study was to create a wider understanding about how some junior ice-hockey players and their coach experience how the factors cohesion, player turnovers, roles and performance are interacting whit each other and how the team is working whit these factors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of gender, age, duration of relationship, self concept clarity and personal agency in predicting romantic relationship satisfaction of emerging adults. Participants were consisted of 344 (70.3% female, 29.7% male) volunteered undergraduate students from one of the state universities in Central Anatolia. Age of the participants ranged from 18 to 25 with the mean of 20. 85 (SD = 1.65). The data was gathered using four instruments namely, Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS), Self Concept Clarity Scale (SCCS), Multi-Measure Agentic Personality Scale- Short Form (MAPSSF), and personal information form. In order to analyze the data, hierarchical regression analysis was conducted. Results revealed that gender, age and duration of relationship were not significant predictors of romantic relationship satisfaction / whereas self concept clarity and purpose in life dimension of personal agency were significant predictors which explained the 12% of the total variance in romantic relationship satisfaction scores of emerging adults. Results of the study are discussed in the light of the relevant literature. Finally implications of the study and recommendations for further research are presented.
