In today's car industries, low investment costs and high production rates are sought. By using nut piercing in the stamping dies in the manufacture of body components, otherwise necessary subsequent tempos can be reduced. The goal of the work was to implement nut piercing from below in a reference die to be able to use this type of operation in future projects. The main problem when implementing nut piercing from below is to be able to handle and evacuate the scrap piece that remains after the punching. By studying the equipment in the reference die, a deeper understanding of the process could be obtained, at the same time as information and necessary material were collected by expertise and the case company's suppliers for nut piercing. The recommendation to the case company provides a solution proposal for scrap evacuation as well as the components involved to be able to carry out the operation.

Darbe analizuojamos Šveicarijos ir Lietuvos valstybės tarnybos sistemos, jų ypatumai bei galimybės taikyti naujosios viešosios vadybos elementus Lietuvoje. Šveicarijos valstybės tarnyba vertinama kaip viena pažangiausių pasaulyje. Būtent čia plačiai pradėtos diegti NVV naujovės. Šveicarijos valstybės tarnyba išsiskiria savo savitumu, kurį nulėmė tiesioginė demokratija, federalizmas ir konsensualinė demokratija. Pati valstybės tarnybos sistema yra sudėtinga, nes ją reglamentuoja skirtingų lygių teisės aktai, atskirai taikomi valstybės tarnautojams, priklausomai nuo to, kur jie atlieka savo tarnybą – federacijos ar kantonų lygmeniu. Valstybės tarnybai Šveicarijoje būdingas dėmesys į žmogiškuosius išteklius, įvairūs skatinimo ir motyvavimo būdai, įgyvendinamos įvairios darbo laiko formos ir tokiu būdu valstybės tarnautojams užtikrinamas „gyvenimo – darbo“ balansas. Darbe analizuojama Berno kantono valstybės tarnyba, nes šis kantonas vienas pirmųjų pradėjo taikyti naujosios viešosios vadybos metodus ir reformuoti valstybės tarnybą. Palyginus su Šveicarija Lietuvos valstybės tarnyba yra labai jauna ir neturi tokių gilių tradicijų. Ji nuolatos tobulinama, priimant teisės aktus bei jų pakeitimus. Darbe nagrinėjama viena aktualiausių Lietuvai, kaip ir daugeliui valstybių problema – kaip pritraukti ir išlaikyti aukštos kvalifikacijos specialistus valstybės tarnybos sistemoje. Tarp kitų Lietuvos valstybės tarnybos problemų viena opiausių tampa tai, kad geriausi ir perspektyviausi...

The public service of Switzerland is evaluated as one of the most developed in the world. It was here where new public management (NPM) innovations were given the start. The public service of Switzerland is characteristic for its distinction, which was determined by direct democracy, federalism and consensual democracy. The public service system itself is rather complicated, as it is regulated by legal acts of various levels – they are separately applied to civil servants, depending on where they perform their service – at a federation or canton level. Public service in Switzerland is prominent for its attention to human resources, various motivation and incentive methods, as well as the implementation of different working hours forms, thus ensuring appropriate „work-life“ balance for public servants. This work also analyses the public service in Bern canton, as this canton was one of the pioneers which started to apply NPM methods as well as reform the public service. Compared to Switzerland, the public service in Lithuania is very young and does not possess such long traditions. It is constantly developed by adopting legal acts and their amendments. The paper investigates one of the most relevant problems in Lithuania, as well as in the vast majority of other countries – how to attract and...

Die öffentliche Verwaltung in der Schweiz ist wie eine aus den fortschrittlichsten an der Welt bewertet. Nämlich hier sind die Neuerungen des New Public Managements begonnen einzusetzen. Die öffentliche Verwaltung in der Schweiz definiert sich mit der Eingeartigkeit, welche die direkte Demokratie, der Federalismus und die Konkordanz beschloßen haben. Das System der öffentlichen Verwaltung ist ziemlich kompliziert, weil es durch die Rechtsakte des verschiedenen Niveaus zugeordnet ist. Die Rechtsakte sind getrennt für die Beamte und die Angestellte ausgeliefert. Diese Auslieferung gehört von dem Arbeitsplatz der Angestellte – ist er auf dem Bund oder in der kantonale Verwaltung tätig. Die öffentliche Verwaltung in der Schweiz ist kennzeichnend auf die humanische Ressourcen, verschiedenen Arten von der Förderungen und der Motivationen. Dort sind auch die verschiedene Arbeitszeitsmodelle verwirklichen und für alle, wer in der öffentliche Verwaltung tätig sind, die „Life – Work“ Balance gesichert ist. In der Arbeit wird die öffentliche Verwaltung im Kanton Bern analysiert, weil dieser Kanton einer aus den ersten ist, welche die Methoden des New Public Managements angepasst und die Reformen in der öffentlichen Verwaltung begonnen hat. Im Vergleich mit der... [der volle Text, siehe weiter]

The scrip involves a literature study to determine how the covenant child / teenager is accommodated in the Reformed church today versus his/her actual need. The question is posed: Is the covenant child accommodated in any way in our current format of church liturgy, or not? Globalisation has made such an impact on the youth of today (postmodern youth or Mosaics) that digital technology has become their focus. Has the church adapted to this? The findings in this script show that the Reformed churches are losing particularly the youth because they have not adapted fast enough to this technology and to the cultural change that is evident in the postmodern child / teenager. The study is not only about the child in the church, but what the child looks like (his / her postmodern attitude / lifestyle) that we want in the church service and what change we need to make to the liturgy of the Reformed church in order to accommodate them. During this study it was also very evident that we need to change the way in which we spread the Word, and not the Word itself. The Truth remains the same – the culture, technology, attitudes, communication methods and intellectual and emotional needs change constantly. And the change is happening at such an alarming rate that we cannot ever think that we have reached the perfect solution. Before we have found the answer, it has changed. We therefore need to constantly re-look at our presentation style. This however does not excuse us from making changes. We need to change with the times and much faster than is currently the norm. The study reveals that the Reformed church currently has a mono-perspective of the liturgy. What is needed is a multi-disciplinary approach when we worship God. It is not only about the child in the church, it is about the place of the church service in the child’s life amidst the enormous impact of culture and digital technology that they are faced with everyday. How can we attempt to be relevant if we still preach as we did 100 years ago? Although the majority of the information that is available on this subject comes from America, the writer believes that it is very relevant to the Reformed churches in South Africa. Further study and research will be needed to determine the exact needs of the South African child / teenager and how to address this. / Dissertation (MA (Theology))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Practical Theology / unrestricted

Most jurisdictions have over the past two decades experienced reforms with regard to arbitration law. These include England, America, France, Germany and the Netherlands. These reforms were necessary as the trend in the modern era shows that businessmen situated in different countries usually prefer to have their disputes resolved by arbitration as opposed to court litigation. To have disputes resolved effectively, it is surely a desirable thing to have laws that would promote the use of arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution. This would also ensure progressive international trade which is an important aspect of development in the South African constitutional state. One aspect of the law that would ensure a speedy and effective resolution of dispute by means of arbitration is the incorporation of the doctrine of separability in a country's law. The doctrine of separability provides that an arbitration agreement is a separate and independent contract from the main contract in which it is incorporated. In light of the above, the primary purpose of this study is to compare and analyse the English legal system with that of South Africa with specific focus on the doctrine of separability. / LLM (Import and Export Law), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

The research dealt with three girls in middle childhood years, in a children’s home, who were experiencing difficulties with self-blame. These difficulties were addressed through play therapy sessions using the ‘gestalt’ approach with the life story book as an aid. The motivation for the study originated during discussions with the social workers at the Abraham Kriel/Maria Kloppers Children’s Home. During these discussions the researcher became aware of the vast number of children in the caseloads of the social workers at Abraham Kriel/Maria Kloppers Children’s Home, who blame themselves for being removed from their parents’ custody. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the life story book could be used as an aid in play therapy sessions focussing on the self-blame of girls in middle childhood years, living in a children’s home. To achieve the goal of this study, a literature study was done regarding the middle childhood years, self-blame, the child in a children’s home and the use of the life story book in play therapy. An empirical study was conducted on the use of the life story book regarding the self-blame of three girls in the middle childhood years, living in a children’s home. Finally the researcher made conclusions and recommendations regarding the use of the life story book, after taking into consideration both the literature study and the empirical study. The investigation was based on applied research. For the purpose of this study, three girls in middle childhood years living in a children’s home were identified by means of purposive sampling. The girls participated in six play therapy sessions each. From this empirical research, it was clear that the life story book could be successfully used in play therapy, focussing on self-blame, with the three girls in middle childhood years living in a children’s home. As an outcome of this study, conclusions and recommendations were formulated. / Dissertation (MSD (Play Therapy))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Social Work / unrestricted

De la fin du 18e siècle jusqu’au milieu du 20e siècle, la plupart des opéras de Mozart ont été joués en français sur les scènes parisiennes. Condition essentielle aux représentations, la traduction a donc joué un rôle décisif dans la diffusion des œuvres lyriques de Mozart en France. Cette thèse étudie les traductions françaises des deux plus célèbres opéras de Mozart en langue allemande, Die Entführung aus dem Serail und Die Zauberflöte, représentées sur les scènes parisiennes entre 1798 et 1954. S’appuyant sur de nombreuses sources encore inédites, cette étude cherche à comprendre comment les traducteurs affrontent les multiples enjeux que représente la traduction des livrets allemands pour le public français. Loin de n’assurer que le transfert d’une langue à l’autre, les traductions remodèlent sans cesse le livret comme la partition des opéras mozartiens, donnant souvent naissance à des œuvres entièrement nouvelles. En croisant l’approche historique et les méthodes de l’analyse textuelle, il s’agit de mettre en lumière les spécificités de chaque traduction, d’éclairer les choix des traducteurs et d’interroger l’évolution des traductions au fil du temps. En permettant au public français de découvrir et d’entendre les opéras de Mozart, les traductions façonnent la réception française de ces œuvres en même temps qu’elles en témoignent. Ce qui est en cause est tout autant la situation particulière du monde lyrique français et ses rapports avec les pays de langue allemande, que la conception de la traduction et de l’œuvre d’art. / The two German operas of Mozart, Die Entführung aus dem Serail and Die Zauberflöte were performed primarily in French from the end of the 18th century until the middle of the 20th century. Cultural conventions and market conditions required that the libretti of German operas be translated into French. In consequence, translation was a vital element in the diffusion of Mozart’s operatic corpus in France. This dissertation is the first to focus on all four sequential translations of Die Entführung aus dem Serail and the five of Die Zauberflöte, performed in Paris between 1798 and 1954. Based on a number of unpublished manuscripts and unknown publications, this scholarly study of the process of translation discloses the transformations of the original works into new versions of Mozart’s operas, not only in the libretti but also in the music. What matters most is to understand how these translations were made and how they evolved over time, as well as exploring the way translators approached the particular difficulties presented by the need to translate texts meant to be sung. What we see is not only a set of changes in the nature of translations, but also a shift in the professional and popular understanding of what constitutes a work of art. Translation both transmitted and framed the meanings of Mozart’s operas at the same time as they made them available to the French musical world. In this context we can see how fruitful it is to braid together musicological research and the insights of literary scholarship in German studies. / In Frankreich wurden Mozarts Opern vom Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts bis in die zweite Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts hinein in erster Linie auf Französisch aufgeführt. Um kulturellen Konventionen Genüge zu tun und Markttauglichkeit zu sichern, mussten deutsche Opernlibretti ins Französische übertragen werden, damit das Publikum die Werke verstehen konnte. Folglich waren Übersetzungen eine unumgängliche Voraussetzung für die Verbreitung von Mozarts Opernschaffen in Frankreich. Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht zum ersten Mal alle Übersetzungen der beiden bekanntesten deutschsprachigen Opern Mozarts, Die Entführung aus dem Serail und Die Zauberflöte, die zwischen 1798 und 1954 auf Pariser Bühnen zu hören und zu sehen waren. Die Studie zieht eine Reihe unveröffentlichter Handschriften und in Vergessenheit geratener Veröffentlichungen heran und zeigt, dass die Übersetzer nicht nur am Text, sondern auch an der Musik Veränderungen vornahmen, die die neuen Fassungen gleichsam zu eigenständigen Werken machten. Das vorrangige Ziel der Arbeit besteht darin zu verstehen, wie die jeweilige Gestaltung der Übersetzungen zustande kam, und wie sie sich im Lauf der Zeit entwickelten. Dabei wird nicht nur ein Wandel in der Übersetzungsart festgestellt: vielmehr wird auch sichtbar, dass sich bei den Übersetzern wie beim Publikum die Auffassung verändert von dem, was ein Kunstwerk ist, und wie man mit ihm umgehen sollte. Indem sie Mozarts Opern der französischen Musikwelt zugänglich machten, bestimmten die Übertragungen das Verständnis der Werke mit, so dass sie aufschlussreiche Quellen zur französischen Mozart-Rezeption darstellen. Um diesen Verschiebungen und wechselseitigen Wirkungen nachzugehen, werden die Methoden der Übersetzungskritik mit den Grundlagen historischmusikwissenschaftlicher Forschung zusammengeführt.

Hierdie studie stel ondersoek in na die voorkoms en funksie van spookkarakters in die roman-oeuvre van Etienne van Heerden, een van Afrikaanse letterkunde se mees bekroonde skrywers. Die doel van hierdie studie is om vas te stel watter funksies die spookkarakters in onderskeidelik Toorberg (1986), Die Stoetmeester (1993) en Die swye van Mario Salviati (2000) vervul, en ook of die spookkarakters in hierdie romans ʼn groter funksie buiten dié in hul onderskeie tekste vervul wat nuwe lig kan werp op Etienne van Heerden se hantering van identiteit (ʼn tema wat deurlopend in sy oeuvre na vore kom). Die ondersoek word hoofsaaklik aan die hand van teks- en romananalise gedoen. Die spookkarakters in die betrokke romans word geklassifiseer aan die hand van teorie uit die paranormale wetenskap. Alhoewel die spookkarakters en die tersaaklike romans nie genregebonde gelees word nie, word teorie uit karakterstudies, identiteitstudies, spookstories, die Gotiese, die magiese realisme, die postkolonialisme, die historiese roman en liminaliteitsteorie in die bespreking betrek. Dit word geargumenteer dat die spookkarakters in Toorberg die prototipiese, manlike Afrikaneridentiteit vergestalt en dit deur middel van uitsluiting (eksklusiwiteit) in stand hou; dat die spookkarakter in Die Stoetmeester ʼn liminale figuur in ʼn liminale historiese tydperk vergestalt, en derhalwe ʼn liminale weergawe van Afrikaneridentiteit uitbeeld; en dat die spookkarakters in Die swye van Mario Salviati ʼn meer inklusiewe (Suid-)Afrikaanse identiteit uitbeeld deur identiteite in die Suid-Afrikaanse verlede wat voorheen misken is, in spesifieke spookkarakters te vergestalt. Deur die individuele spookkarakters as verteenwoordigend van groepsidentiteite te lees binne die bepaalde historiese konteks waarin die romans afspeel en gepubliseer is, word daar ten slotte aangevoer dat die spookkarakters in die roman-oeuvre van Etienne van Heerden ʼn evolusie van Afrikaner- na Suid-Afrikaanse identiteit uitbeeld. / PhD (Afrikaans and Dutch), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
