<p> </p><p> </p><p>The purpose of this paper is to exam the philosophical development of Emanuel Swedenborg's doctrine of correspondence and to note some of the more important parallels between Swedenborg's doctrine and the three contemporary most debated theories concerning the mind-body problem. These three theories was pre-established harmony, its opponent physical influx and finally occasionalism. Especially occasionalism has close connections to Descartes' dualism, but neither pre-established harmony or physical influxus, which in some ways can be dated before Descartes, would have looked the same, if it were not for the Cartesian way of thinking. Also Swedenborg initially inherited major influences from Descartes and that is the first approach in this paper. From there on the paper follows the development of the doctrine of correspondence and the parallels according Swedenborg's more contemporary philosophical writers, until Swedenborg gets to a point where he underwent a profound spiritual crisis and turned his focus on an all together theological approach.</p><p> </p>

The ability of students to segment the speech stream into phonemic units and to analyze (make judgments as to same or different) beginning consonant phonemes was assessed at grades kindergarten through third from both high and low socioeconomic groups. Segmentation ability was assessed by the use of a test of actual words in a match-to-sample task, a test of synthetic words requiring a same-different judgment and a task which required deletion of a phoneme from a known word to form a new word. Three prerequisite abilities were also assessed: auditory acuity and understanding of the concepts "same" and "different" with regard to sounds, and "beginning" with regard to sequence of sounds.

Vladimír Holan is one of the most important Czech poets of the 20th century. However, his rich correspondence with plenty of significant people of Czech culture is out of broad the concern of literary scientists. The Holan's correspondence is the main deal of this diploma theses and for its purpose the student will collect, classify and prepare for potential edition a part of poet's correspondence. The selection of correspondence of Vladimír Holan, which is deposited in The Literary archive of The Museum of Czech literature in Prague, will be consisted of approximately ten letter-conversation threads between Vladimír Holan and the significant people of Czech cultural context mainly. The thesis will also include the study in which the student will try to interpret the change of Holan's period poetics by analysis of Holan's statements the convolute of the selected letter will contain.

We obtain the bulk-boundary propagators, as well as the correlation functions on the boundary for a scalar field, both in massive and non-massive cases. If we impose that the fields depends only on a boundary coordinate and the bulk radial coordinate, we obtain in the dual theory the domain wall solutions found in literature. From these solutions we found that the superfluid is characterized by two length scales, one for the order parameter and other for the charge density. We also study the change of charge density in the region near the interface of the defect, and finally we investigate the modifications needed in theory to study the dynamics of these solutions. / Neste trabalho, estudamos numericamente a formação e a dinâmica de defeitos topológicos do tipo parede de domínio em superfluidos em um modelo (3+1)-dimensional do tipo Maxwell-Higgs abeliano, no contexto da correspondência AdS/CFT. Obtemos os propagadores bulk-fronteira, assim como as funções de correlação na fronteira, para um campo escalar nos casos massivo e não-massivo. Se impusermos que os campos dependem apenas da coordenada radial no bulk e de uma coordenada na fronteira, conseguimos obter na teoria dual as soluções do tipo parede de domínio encontradas na literatura. A partir dessas soluções, estudamos suas propriedades, verificando que o superfluido é caracterizado por duas escalas de comprimento, uma para o parâmetro de ordem e outra para a densidade de carga. Estudamos também a variação da densidade de carga na região próxima à interface do defeito, e por fim, investigamos as modificações necessárias na teoria para se estudar a dinâmica dessas soluções.

This research builds upon this commonplace intending to answer the following questions: What is the role of Tarski's influence in the formulation of the notion of truth in Popper? Which are the consequences? On the first two chapters we will describe at what times of the first edition of the scientific research of Logic Popper debates issues that connect with the notion of truth in an indirect way, being the first chapter the critical part and the second to develop a way to positivist assumptions. The third chapter will deal with Tarski´s semantic notion of truth. We will present what was his goal and to what extent could he realize it. In the fourth and final chapter, we will present the way in which the truth as correspondence with the facts is possible. The scenario for the argumentation is made by Popper's realism. Thus, describing the development of the notion of truth in Popper, we will seek to maintain that his epistemology was corrected and expanded in debate with other thoughts. And the notion of reality depends, strongly, from the theoretical framework. / Popper ficou conhecido como grande crítico do positivismo e divulgador dos avanços teóricos do falibilismo. Esta pesquisa parte desse lugar comum pretendendo dar resposta às seguintes questões: Qual o papel da influência de Tarski na formulação da noção de verdade em Popper? Quais suas consequências? Nos dois primeiros capítulos descreveremos em que momentos da primeira edição da Lógica da pesquisa científica Popper debate assuntos que se conectam com a noção de verdade de maneira indireta, sendo o primeiro capítulo a parte crítica e o segundo o desenvolvimento de uma saída aos pressupostos positivistas. No terceiro capítulo, trataremos da noção semântica da verdade de Tarski. Apresentaremos qual foi seu objetivo e em que medida conseguiu realiza-lo. No quarto e último capítulo, apresentaremos a maneira pela qual a verdade como correspondência com os fatos é possível. O cenário para a argumentação é composto pelo realismo de Popper. Assim, descrevendo o desenvolvimento da noção de verdade em Popper, buscaremos sustentar que sua epistemologia foi corrigida e ampliada no debate com outros pensamentos. E que a noção de realidade depende, intensamente, do âmbito teórico.

Avant même de se fixer définitivement à Bethléem, Jérôme effectue la visite systématique de la Palestine, désirant connaître de façon approfondie et directe les lieux saints où vécut le Christ. De même, son souci de parvenir à un savoir authentique sur les Écritures lui fait entreprendre l'apprentissage ardu de l'hébreu. Les premières lettres conservées de sa Correspondance datent de 380‑381, années où l'auteur débute précisément, à Chalcis, son initiation à la langue de l'Ancien Testament. Les missives écrites ensuite reflètent les difficultés rencontrées par le père de la Vulgate tout au long de sa révision des traductions courantes de la Bible à partir des orignaux grecs et hébreux. Les questions posées par des correspondants cultivés et curieux d'en apprendre plus sur le contenu de ces orignaux sont également à l'origine de commentaires philologiques de la part de Jérôme. Les lettres constituent partant un excellent support de réflexion pour analyser les interactions entre culture-source et culture-cible en interrogeant les nombreuses difficultés de vocabulaire et d'interprétation auxquelles sont confrontés Jérôme et les exégètes cités par lui, lorsqu'il s'agit de passer du texte hébreu à ses versions grecques et latines. La présente étude s'intéresse aux questions d'hébreu contenues dans la Correspondance. La place faite à l'hébreu, dans les lettres, et jusque dans la forme épistolaire, amène à s'interroger sur la représentation singulière de la langue et de la culture hébraïques s'en dégageant, ainsi que sur l'image de l'interpres liée à cette représentation. Les enjeux inhérents à la résolution de cette problématique sont importants, car ils renvoient à la fois à la manière dont la Bible hébraïque est appréhendée et traduite par Jérôme, aux catégories intellectuelles mises à contribution par l'épistolier pour répondre aux difficultés rencontrées, à la consolidation dogmatique de l'Église du IVe siècle, mais aussi à la question paradoxale de l'autorité du traducteur. L'examen minutieux des textes hébreux par Jérôme soulève une contradiction majeure entre la conception traditionnelle des rapports entre langues barbares et langues policées, et l'idéalisation d'une quête de l'Hebraica ueritas, mise sur le même plan que le voyage en Terre Sainte. Il s'agit dès lors de comprendre pourquoi et pour quoi un Occidental cultivé comme Jérôme s'est lancé dans la difficile traduction de la Bible à partir de l'hébreu. L'adoption d'un tel angle de réflexion mobilise des éléments historiques, historico-théologiques et linguistiques, puisqu'il faut tenir compte des relations entre juifs et chrétiens au IVe siècle. Afin de mettre en lumière puis de préciser ces enjeux, la présente analyse aborde, en premier, la définition à nouveaux frais du profil intellectuel de Jérôme, en se plaçant, pour cela, dans une perspective de transmission des savoirs liés à la Bible hébraïque. Ce premier bilan conduit à envisager, en second lieu, la manière dont l'auteur de la Correspondance manie l'hébreu, et à mettre, de façon inédite, ce maniement en relation avec la structure des lettres et les stratégies rhétoriques et littéraires qui y sont déployées. Troisièmement, nous avons cherché à comprendre quelle représentation de l'objet d'étude hébraïque se dégage du corpus étudié et comment Jérôme procède pour transformer cette représentation en source d'autorité, pour le dogme chrétien comme pour lui-même - paradoxalement, en tant que traducteur. La démonstration fait intervenir un concept central pour analyser la méthodologie hiéronymienne, celui d'ἱστορία. En croisant différentes approches en lien avec les questions d'hébreu, la présente analyse s'efforce de démontrer que la richesse de la Correspondance hiéronymienne est loin d'avoir été totalement épuisée par la recherche et que certains aspects, notamment l'interdépendance entre les perspectives philologique et idéologique, ont été encore assez peu approfondis. / Even before settling permanently in Bethlehem, Jerome performs routine visit to Palestine, in his desire to know in depth and direct the holy places where Christ lived. Similarly, its concern to achieve a genuine know the scriptures him to undertake the arduous learning Hebrew. The first letters of his correspondence conserved dating from 380-381, years in which the author begins precisely at Chalcis, his introduction to the language of the Old Testament. The letters then written to reflect the difficulties faced by the father of the Vulgate throughout its review of the common translations of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew moose. The questions posed by cultivated and curious corresponding learn about the content of these moose are also the cause of philological comments from the Stridonien. The letters are therefore an excellent reflection of support for analyzing interactions between source culture and target-culture by interviewing many vocabulary difficulties and interpretation faced Jerome and the commentators cited by him, when it comes to spend Hebrew text to his Greek and Latin versions. This study is interested in Hebrew questions contained in the correspondence. The emphasis in Hebrew, in letters, and even in epistolary form, raises questions about the singular representation of the Hebrew language and the culture that surrounds it, and the image of 'interpres related to this representation. The challenges inherent in the resolution of this issue is important, since they relate both to how the Hebrew Bible is understood and translated by Jerome, the intellectual categories put to use by the letter writer to meet the challenges , the dogmatic consolidation of the fourth-century Church but also to the paradoxical question of the authority of the translator. The scrutiny of Hebrew texts by Jerome raises a major contradiction between the traditional conception of the relationship between barbarians and civilized languages ​​languages, and the idealization of a quest for the Hebraica ueritas, put on the same plane as the trip to Earth Ste. It is therefore understand why and for what a Westerner grown as Jerome embarked on the difficult translation of the Bible from Hebrew. The adoption of such a reflection angle is mobilizing historical, historical-theological and linguistic, since we must consider the relationship between Jews and Christians in the fourth century. To highlight and clarify these issues, this analysis discusses, first, the definition anew intellectual Jerome profile by standing for this, with a view to transmitting knowledge related to the Hebrew Bible . This initial assessment leads to consider, second, how the author of mania Correspondence Hebrew, and putting in a new way, this handling in relation to the structure of letters and literary and rhetorical strategies that are are deployed. Third, we sought to understand what object representation of Hebrew study emerges from the corpus studied and how Jérôme proceeded to transform this representation source of authority for the Christian dogma as for himself - ironically, as a translator. The demonstration involves a central concept to analyze Jerome's methodology, that of ἱστορία. By combining different approaches related to the Hebrew issues, this analysis seeks to demonstrate that the wealth of Jerome's correspondence is far from having been fully covered by research and that some aspects, especially the interdependence philological and ideological perspectives were still fairly extensive.

The aim of the diploma thesis was to create independently an application, automating a correspondence analysis calculation using MS Excel and taking advantage of VBA programming language. The application was then used to analyse Slovak banking sector. The created application is based on macro sets which can be split up to two parts. The first part produces a contingency table and converts it into a format usable in the second part. Then there is executed the Correspondence Analysis calculation itself. Supplement Matrix is being used, that allows to discharge functions from matrix and linear algebra. The application allows to process any matrix dimension. Dialog window offers four normalization types, shortened and also full output and it is possible to display row or column variable categories, eventually both. The analysis subject was to find out which of the products are typical for considered banks and for which clients, divided into age categories, is attractive particular bank and/or product. A starting point is a product usage data matrix at a particular bank. There was made a conclusion, that it is possible to divide banks into more traditional or modern type institutions and also that each bank has a typical product.

The purpose of this study was to create and examine the conceptual and psychometric properties of four components that comprise 'programme outcome' sought by distance educators, and to examine the extent to which student (socio-demographic) and programme (e.g. duration) variables related to them. This ex post facto study utilised the records of 773 correspondence students enrolled at The Chinese University of Hong Kong for the 1984 Summer session and who submitted one or more assignments. Four variables were derived from the data set - completion rate, deviation (lateness in submitting assignments), turnaround (time taken to return marked assignments) and grades. These variables were more conceptually defensible than the NUEA or other formulae typically used to measure 'outcomes'. It was hypothesized that when students had to wait longer for the return of their assignments in the first quarter of the course, completion rate would be lower, but this would not happen after the course was half over. When students were late submitting assignments, it was expected that their completion rate would be lower than those submitting on time. It was found that turnaround had a significant association with completion rate throughout the course. Deviation, that is, delays in submitting assignments, was also related to completion. Each of the four variables had significantly different associations with programme outcome. The measures employed here can be used elsewhere as the data that comprise them are found in the records of most distance education programmes. This should facilitate research in distance education and provide practitioners with a way to monitor programmes. / Education, Faculty of / Educational Studies (EDST), Department of / Graduate
