In the Middle Ages, marriage represented a shift in the balance of power for both men and women. Struggling to define what constitutes the ideal marriage in medieval society, the marriage group of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales attempts to reconcile the ongoing battle for sovereignty between husband and wife. Existing hierarchies restricted women; therefore, marriage fittingly presented more obstacles for women. Chaucer creates the dynamic personalities of the Wife of Bath, the Clerk and the Merchant to debate marriage intelligently while citing their experiences within marriage in their prologues. The rhetorical device of ethos plays a significant role for the pilgrims. By first establishing their authority, each pilgrim sets out to provide his or her audience with a tale of marriage that is most correct. Chaucer's work as a social commentary becomes rhetorically complex with varying levels of ethos between Chaucer the author, his tale tellers and their characters.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Andrezza Cacione.pdf: 1380246 bytes, checksum: 70140b96b4c0cbf9c9bd395f8542f91e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-04-14 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The work in question discusses the usage of probabilistic arguments on the Kinetic Theory of gases by James Clerk Maxwell, more specifically when describing the speed of the gas particles. The reflection on the gas behavior and its constituents develops during the 19th century. In this context, it can be verified the use of probabilist arguments in formulation of this knowledge. This work aims to identify the factors that influenced the use of such probabilistic arguments in the development of the Kinetic Theory of gas by Maxwell, and in which sense his approach differentiates from the existing ones, since the probability was already considered in previous formulations of the same theory. In order to identify the subjects studied by Maxwell and the varieties of reflections to which he was exposed, we searched for information on the calendar of the Cambridge University in the period he frequented the institution, we also researched papers published which he might have had contact with and letters exchanged with family and friends / O trabalho em questão versa sobre a utilização de argumentos probabilísticos na Teoria Cinética dos Gases por James Clerk Maxwell, mais especificamente ao descrever a velocidade das partículas que compõem um gás. A reflexão sobre o comportamento dos gases e de seus constituintes ocorreu ativamente ao longo do século XIX. Nesse contexto, percebe-se a utilização de argumentos probabilísticos na construção desse conhecimento. Este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar fatores que influenciaram o uso de argumentos probabilísticos na construção da Teoria Cinética dos Gases por Maxwell e em que sua abordagem a diferencia das teorias já existentes, uma vez que a probabilidade já era considerada em formulações anteriores para a mesma teoria. A fim de identificar os assuntos estudados por Maxwell e a quais tipos de reflexão ele foi exposto, buscamos informações no calendário da Universidade de Cambridge nos anos em que ele a frequentou, em artigos publicados na época com que de alguma forma ele tenha tido contato e também em cartas trocadas com familiares e amigos

Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS) is one of the premier ways to collect source information through emitted radiation. It is so named because the principal measurement technique involves the analysis of spectra determined from the Fourier transform of a time-domain interference pattern. Given options in the field, many space- and ground-based instruments have selected Fourier transform spectrometers for their measurements. The Herschel Space Observatory, launched on May 14, 2009, has three on-board instruments. One, SPIRE, comprises a FTS paired with bolometer detector arrays. SCUBA-2 (Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array) and FTS-2 have recently been commissioned and will be mounted within the collecting dish of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope by Fall, 2010. The use of FTS in these two observatories will be examined. While work towards each project is independently useful, the thesis is bound by the commonality between the two, as each seeks similar answers from vastly different viewpoints. / xvii, 123 leaves : ill.

Le vieillissement de la population est un phénomène démographique auquel est confronté le Québec. Dans ce contexte, la protection des personnes inaptes et vulnérables, prendra de plus en plus d'importance au cours des prochaines années. Ces personnes doivent bénéficier d'une protection adéquate lors de l'ouverture d'un régime de protection à leur égard. Considérant que l'ouverture d'un régime de protection au majeur inapte est toujours le résultat d'une décision judiciaire, le greffier de la Cour supérieure du Québec a un rôle fondamental à jouer à l'occasion dans le processus judiciaire. À titre d'officier de justice, il a compétence pour prononcer le jugement d'ouverture du régime de protection. Par conséquent, le présent mémoire consiste à vérifier si les majeurs inaptes sont bien protégés par le rôle et les pouvoirs de l'officier de justice. Pour ce faire, le sujet à l'étude a fait l'objet d'une double approche. Dans un premier temps, le cadre juridique à l'intérieur duquel le greffier doit exécuter ses fonctions sera étudié. Dans un deuxième temps, les résultats et l'analyse d'une enquête empirique auprès des greffiers de la Cour supérieure du Québec seront exposés. Cette démarche permet une approche comparative entre la théorie et la pratique en la matière et permet de constater qu'il peut y avoir un écart entre les deux. / Aging population is a phenomenon faced by Quebec. In this context, the protection of incapacitated and vulnerable individuals will be increasingly important in the coming years and they should benefit adequate protection from the institution of protective supervision. Considering that the institution of protective supervision is always the result of a court order, the clerk of the Superior Court of Quebec has a fundamental role to play during the judicial process. The judicial officer has jurisdiction to pronounce the judgment of institution of protective supervision. The following study will attempt to verify whether the proven inapt persons are well protected under the actual system whereby the judicial officer has the function and the powers to decide. To do this, a two way analysis will be used. First, the legal framework within which the clerk shall perform its functions will be studied and second, the results and analysis of an empirical survey of clerks of the Superior Court of Quebec will be discussed. This approach should reveal the existing gap between theory and practice.

The graduation thesis deals with the function of a CV in the process of finding an employment, particularly in the period before a face-to-face job interview. The subject matter is observed from the point of view of the employer and of the job applicant as well. In the theoretical part, the crucial terms are explicated and the preparations before the appointment are described. The practical part of the thesis confronts and observes theoretical information taken from a sample that consisted of sixty real CVs. Data in the theoretical part is compared with real facts. On the basis of this confrontation, conclusions concerning various categories as well as the whole issue are made.

L’Iran est un pays à double visage, à la fois traditionnel et moderne. Le notariat y est exercé de façon traditionnelle et pourtant le développement économique du pays exigerait un notariat moderne. Ce notariat est aujourd’hui exclusivement pratiqué de façon individuelle. D’où une série de difficultés. Il importe de chercher un autre modèle. Le droit iranien s’est déjà inspiré du droit français dans le domaine du droit civil mais aussi dans l’organisation de la fonction de notaire. C’est donc tout naturellement que nous nous sommes tournés vers la France pour étudier d’autres modes d’exercice du notariat. En effet, après plusieurs années d’exercice à titre individuel, cette profession y est aujourd’hui pratiquée de façon collective selon plusieurs modèles. L’exercice au sein d’une Société Civile Professionnelle a particulièrement retenu notre attention. Il s’agit alors d’analyser les avantages et les inconvénients de cette société particulière du droit français pour constater que ce type de société peut être adapté, après certains aménagements, au notariat iranien. Au préalable, il convient d’implanter la notion de société et les règles applicables à la société civile du droit français qui nourrissent la règlementation de base de la Société Civile Professionnelle.Dans la première partie de cette recherche, l’évolution du notariat français est abordée. L’apparition des difficultés d’exercice a poussé ce notariat à accueillir favorablement la Société Civile Professionnelle comme nouveau mode d’exercice de la profession par la loi de 1966. L’étude du fonctionnement de cette société a bien démontré que l’exercice de la profession en société ne change rien à la force de l’acte notarié ni au rôle et à l’influence du notaire, et même, que le service rendu à la clientèle est bien meilleur.Dans la deuxième partie, après avoir rappelé l’histoire du notariat iranien et sa définition, l’étude de son fonctionnement actuel et des difficultés qui en résultent, démontre la nécessité d’implanter la Société Civile Professionnelle du droit français comme nouveau mode d’exercice. Or, dans la mesure où il y a une confusion entre la notion d’indivision et de société dans le Code civil iranien, et cela malgré l’existence des sociétés commerciales dans le Code de commerce iranien, il est apparu essentiel de distinguer ces notions afin de les organiser. C’est ainsi que tout est prêt pour implanter et adapter les règles applicables à la société civile française. Finalement, face à des sociétés professionnelles non organisées dans le droit iranien, il a fallu les organiser et les adapter au notariat iranien. Grâce à cette étude il peut être proposé au législateur iranien un nouveau modèle d’exercice du notariat adapté aux besoins d’une société moderne avec une législation pouvant s’étendre à d’autres sociétés professionnelles ou commerciales, occasion aussi de clarifier la notion de « société » et d’« indivision ». / Iran is a two-faced country, both traditional and modern. Notary position is there exercised in a traditional way, but yet the economic development of the country requires modernization of this profession. Today, the notary position is exclusively practiced individually. Hence a serie of difficulties. Therefore, it is important to look for another model. If Iranian law has already been inspired by French law in the field of civil law, it also influenced the organization of the functions of notary. It is therefore natural for Iran to turn to France to study other modes of exercise of this profession. Indeed, after several years of individual practice, the position of notary is now practiced collectively according to several models. Practicing within a “Professional Partnership” (ie: “Société Civile Professionnelle”) particularly caught our attention. We aim at analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of this typical French form of partnership to observe that this particular type of partnership can be adapted, after some adjustments, to the Iranian notary practice. At the outset, the French concepts of “Company” and the French regulation specifically applicable to the “Civil Partnership”, at the heart of the “Professional partnership” regulation should be introduced.In the first part of this research, the evolution of the French notary profession is addressed. Appearance of practice difficulties pushed the notaries to welcome the “Professional Partnership” as the new mode of practicing with the 1966 Act. The study of how this partnership is operating has shown that exercising the profession of notary within a partnership does not change the strength of a deed or the role and influence of the notary, but rather that there is a better service provided to the customer.In the second part, after recalling the history of the Iranian Notary profession and its definition, the study the common way of exercising and its resulting difficulties, demonstrates the need to implement the Professional Partnership French regulation as the new mode of practice. However, insofar as Iranian Civil Code merges the notions of Joint-ownership (“indivision”) and Civil Partnership, despite the existence of Commercial Partnership in the Iranian Commercial Code, it was essential to distinguish these notions in order to organize them. At the time, everything seems ready to implement and adapt the French rules applicable to the French Civil Partnership. Finally, facing unorganized professional partnerships under Iranian law, this work allows to organize and adapt a new model to the Iranian Notaries. Through this study, a new model for notary practice can be proposed to the Iranian legislature that is adapted to the needs of a contemporary society. Such a research may then be extended to other professional or commercial partnerships and was also an opportunity to clarify the legal concepts of "partnerships" and "joint-ownership".

The master thesis discusses the legal regulation of employment of the state administration and its comparison with the labour regulations in other areas with similar characteristics. The thesis analyzes the theory of public administration, its development and the segmentation within the Czech Republic and the current state of it. The thesis also includes analysis of the areas which are directly related to the topic, such as human resources management in the public administration. Finally, the thesis is showing a comparison of the main bills of the public service with the bills which are covering the employment private sector, i.e. Labour Code. Thesis provides an overview of positive and negative aspects of the current state of the bill of state administration.

The thesis is devoted to theoretical problems of public administration in the Czech Republic, its institutions, instruments, exercised personnel activities and their peculiarities in the public administration, including defining the status of civil clerk. Further attention is paid to the management of organizational behavior in administrative organizations. In practical terms, the emphasis is primarily on how the ongoing activities of selected personnel, primarily evaluation, selected at public authorities (Generální finanční ředitelství and Úřad městského obvodu Ostrava-Jih) and what style of management executives of these agencies most frequently.
