Daniel Lerner’s „The Passing of Traditional Society“ of 1958 is still one of the most famous American studies in the field of modernization research. This article gives a deeper insight into the background of the emergence of the study. The author describes Lerner’s theoretical and empirical work and its connection to the policy of his time. A classic today in modernization theory, Lerner’s study was initially merely a request for the Voice of America to investigate the use of media in the Middle Eastern region –modernization or development did not yet play a significant role. The article shows how the direction of the study changed from its original intention into a political opinion research and thus into a political propaganda tool.

The main frame of this research is ¡§Economic Modernization¡¨ categorized modernization theory, and the objective of this research is TVEs to analyze the characteristics of Mainland China¡¦s economic modernization. TVEs is a kind of special enterprise style of China. TVEs integrate rural resources, collective ownership, and modern business management into the main power of the development of rural economy. Moreover, also the particularities of TVEs¡¦ system are the emphasis of this research. The members of TVEs which are villagers, local government officers, managers, and party cadres form a kind of special mutual-dependence relationship between rural communities, CPC (Communist Party of China), and governments. Finally, the extending question is economic modernization transiting to political modernization, also China with the different development from western nations.

Its objective is to analyze the participation of physical education in the modernization of education in Goiás, from 1929-1937. And as specific objectives, to raise aspects of modernization in Goiás; to discuss the fundamentals of physical education in the context of educational modernization in Goiás; to present the narratives about physical education transmitted in Goiás during the period 1929-1937. It is a historical narrative subsidized by the documentary corpus: Correio Official newspaper of the State of Goyas; magazine A informação Goyana; report of the governor Pedro Ludovico Teixeira to the president of the republic Getúlio Vargas (1930-1933); educational laws and decrees related to physical education that were in force in Goiás in the period referring to the research cut; documents of the Fundo Lyceu de Goyas in the Museu das Bandeiras. The theoretical references of support, in what concerns the modernization and the educational modernization in Goiás, were Bretas (1991), Silva (1975), Borges (1990), Nepomuceno (1994), Pinto (2009), Chaul (2010). As for physical education were Dias (2013, 2014), Soares (2004, 1998), Paiva (2004), Parada (2006), Schneider e Ferreira Netto (2008), among others. Among the results, it is highlighted that, through distinct contents, that is, gymnastics, popular games, sports games and sports, physical education participated in the modernization of education and the city through an education of the body that contradictorily sought control and liberty. / Esta pesquisa versa sobre a educação física no contexto de modernização educacional em Goiás.

This thesis elaborates the Model-Driven Software Modernization (MDSM), that has been identified by us, and is defined as a group of approaches toward modernization of legacy code. MDSM approaches are based on models, tools and processes known from the Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) that aims in automation of modernization process. This thesis describes identified MDSM approaches and related standards. Additionally, it suggests that certain kinds of modernization can be implemented in a more efficient way, when a new approach, that has been proposed by the authors, is used. An exemplary modernization, that solves selected industry problem, is implemented to demonstrate that the alternative approach is feasible. In addition, the availability of tools for MDA, which can be adopted in MDSM process, is discussed and guidelines for implementing MDSM are proposed.

This diploma thesis deals with the concept of modernization. Through the analyzing the works of T. Parsons, S. N. Eisenstadt and A. Martinelli, the thesis is focusing on the change of perception regarding the concept of modernity and modernization in the sense of "westernization". The special emphasis is put on the realm of political modernization and the way, how has been during the time different theories of political modernization reevaluated.

The goal of this study is to see how risk assessment is executed on the social media platform Facebook. The aim is to see how risk assessment in contrast of Ulrich Becks (2012) theory about risk society and reflexive modernization can help understand how users on Facebook minimize the possible risk of their actions on Facebook. The study is of a qualitative variety and is based on interviews with ten different Facebook users and processed by being thematised by criminalty, risks of health, politic risks, economical risks and risks about integrity. It is also summarized by different strategies to minimize risks that the participants discussed in the interviews. The most important results in this study was connected to risks about source criticism and actions that could have an impact on work-related questions. It was possible to see in the study that if a user had knowledge about potential risks they were mostly more likely to protect themselves against it. Also it concludes that in some cases experience that users learns from does not have to be related to their own experiences.

In an economically developing world, the process of modernization has been proven to change people’s cultural and political values. Political scientists Ronald Inglehart and Christian Wetzel’s revised theory of modernization shows evidence that people’s political and cultural values move along two dimensions in a predictable pattern. Economic development shift people’s values from traditional and survival toward more secular-rational and self- expressive. This rise in post-material values has unknown effects on people’s mental health. Using Esping-Andersen’s theory on welfare state regimes the aim of this study is to both examine what effect post-material values have on mental health and, furthermore, if this effect plays out differently in different welfare state regimes. This was done using regression analysis based on data from a large number of countries from all over the world. The results of the analysis show that a rise in post-material values is positively correlated with worse mental health. But when welfare state regimes were brought into the model the relationship between post-material values and mental health did not stay the same but varied in its effect across the different regimes. The conservative welfare state regime stood out as the regime in which post-material values generated the worst mental health. On the whole, results indicate that the relationship between post-material values, welfare state regimes and mental health is a very complex relationship that is in need of further examination.

A agropecuária brasileira passou por intensas transformações desde meados do século XIX, dentre as quais se destaca a fase mais intensa de seu processo de modernização (1960-70) que colocou o Brasil entre os principais players mundiais do agronegócio, mas também ampliou a heterogeneidade produtiva e econômica no meio rural brasileiro. Essa tese, composta por dois artigos e uma seção de contextualização histórica, teve como objetivo identificar os fatores relevantes do processo de modernização da agropecuária brasileira presentes em 2006, após cerca de 50 anos da fase denominada \"industrialização da agricultura\", avaliar como esses aspectos se comportam regionalmente e identificar grupos homogêneos de municípios com relação aos seus indicadores de modernização agropecuária. O primeiro artigo teve como proposta a identificação dos fatores relevantes de modernização e, para isso, foram aplicadas técnicas de Análise Fatorial a um conjunto de 30 indicadores de modernização de 4.535 municípios brasileiros no ano de 2006. Os resultados apontaram como fatores relevantes: 1) Lucratividade e tecnologia poupa-terra, concentrada na região Sudeste, em partes da região Sul e em parte expressiva da faixa litorânea do país; 2) Capitalização e tecnificação da criação animal, distribuída de maneira relativamente uniforme entre as regiões; 3) Capitalização e tecnificação agrícola, com forte concentração na região Sul e alguns focos no Sudeste e Centro-Oeste; 4) Relação capital-trabalho, com forte concentração nas regiões Centro-Oeste e Sudeste e alguns focos na região Sul. Pôde-se observar que, mesmo sendo a modernização agropecuária um processo diverso e multifacetado, há forte heterogeneidade econômica e produtiva entre os municípios e a região Nordeste se destaca pelo seu atraso tecnológico e pelas adversidades estruturais e climáticas que enfrenta, além da insuficiência das políticas agrícolas adotadas no início dos anos 2000 com relação à mitigação desse problema. O segundo artigo teve o objetivo de identificar grupos homogêneos de municípios com base em seus indicadores de modernização, estabelecendo quais os mais modernos e quais os mais vulneráveis em termos econômicos e produtivos. Para isso utilizou-se de uma análise de clusters (model-based-clusters) aplicada ao mesmo conjunto de variáveis e municípios. Os resultados apontaram para a formação de 9 clusters com características distintas em termos de modernização. Os três clusters menos modernos concentram grande parte de seus municípios nas regiões Norte e Nordeste, sobretudo no semiárido brasileiro, e demonstram grande precariedade de capacitação, capitalização e adoção de práticas modernas. Os três clusters intermediários concentram parcela expressiva de seus municípios na região Centro-Oeste e parte da região Sudeste, apresentando, cada qual, características específicas que estão associadas ao tipo de produção (agricultura ou produção animal). Os três clusters mais modernos estão, em grande medida, concentrados nas regiões Sul e Sudeste e apresentaram valores expressivamente superiores às médias nacionais na maioria dos indicadores de modernização analisados, com destaque para o uso de insumos químicos, o grau de capitalização, o acesso ao crédito e à orientação técnica. Em suma, o processo de modernização da agropecuária brasileira, contribuiu para o expressivo aumento da produtividade, mas também para o aumento da heterogeneidade produtiva e econômica no campo. Os resultados dessa tese indicam que, mesmo após a implementação de políticas voltadas à agricultura familiar e à reforma agrária, a heterogeneidade persiste e, dada a menor importância atribuída pelo Estado às políticas atreladas aos serviços gerais para a agropecuária, como a melhoria de infraestrutura, capacitação, pesquisa e difusão da orientação técnica, essas condições tendem a se perpetuar. / The Brazilian agriculture underwent intense transformations since the middle of the nineteenth century, among which is the most intense phase of its modernization process (1960-70) that placed Brazil among the main players in the world agribusiness, but also expanded productive and economic heterogeneity among farmers. This thesis, made up of two articles and a section of historical contextualization, aimed to identify the relevant factors of the modernization process of the Brazilian agriculture present in 2006, after about 50 years of the phase called \"industrialization of agriculture\", to evaluate how these aspects behave regionally, and to identify homogeneous groups of municipalities in relation to their agricultural modernization indicators. The first article aimed the identification of the relevant factors of modernization and, for this, techniques of Factor Analysis were applied to a set of 30 modernization indicators of 4,535 Brazilian municipalities in the year of 2006. The results pointed as relevant factors: 1) Profitability and saving-land technology, concentrated in the Southeast region, in parts of the South region and in part expressive of the coastal strip of the country; 2) Capitalization and technification of animal husbandry, less concentrated among regions; 3) Capitalization and technification of agriculture, with strong concentration in the South region and some foci in the Southeast and Midwest; 4) Capital-labor ratio, with a strong concentration in the Midwest and Southeast regions and some foci in the South. Although agricultural modernization is a diverse and multifaceted process, economic and productive heterogeneity is significant among municipalities and the Northeast region stands out for its technological backwardness and the structural and climatic adversities it faces, as well as the insufficiency of agricultural policies adopted in the early 2000s to mitigate this problem. The second article aimed to identify homogeneous groups of municipalities based on their modernization indicators, establishing which are the most modern and which are most vulnerable in economic and productive terms. For this, we used a Cluster Analysis (model-based-clusters) applied to the same set of variables and municipalities. The results pointed to the formation of 9 clusters with distinct characteristics in terms of modernization. The three less modern clusters concentrate a large part of their municipalities in the North and Northeast regions, especially in the Brazilian semi-arid region, and show precariousness of capacity building, capitalization and adoption of modern practices. The three intermediate clusters concentrate a significant portion of their municipalities in the Midwest and part of the Southeast region, each presenting specific characteristics that are associated with the type of production (agriculture or livestock). The three most modern clusters are to a large extent concentrated in the South and Southeast regions and presented values significantly higher than the national averages in most of the modernization indicators analyzed, with emphasis on the use of chemical inputs, the degree of capitalization, credit and technical guidance. In short, the process of modernization of Brazilian agriculture has contributed to the significant increase in productivity, but also to the increase of productive and economic heterogeneity in the countryside. The results of this thesis indicate that, even after implementing policies aimed at family agriculture and agrarian reform, heterogeneity persists and, given the lower importance attributed by the State to policies linked to general services for agriculture and livestock, such as the improvement of infrastructure, training, research and dissemination of technical guidance, these conditions tend to perpetuate.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é fazer uma leitura da obra de João Guimarães Rosa, questionando qual é o sertão o autor aborda, bem como qual é a visão da modernização do país apresentada na ficção. Procurando confirmar que o sertão já nasce moderno, pois se configura como território do capital e se especializa na produção da mercadoria pecuária, permite-se indagar o quanto o escritor se desprendeu da condição de sujeito submisso ao mundo da mercadoria para transpor para sua criação uma reflexão crítica do mundo no qual viveu. O estudo rastreia as possibilidades de diálogo entre literatura e geografia, considerando o quanto a primeira pode contribuir para o segundo e vice-versa. / The objective of this research is to make a reading of João Guimarães Rosas work, questioning which kind of wilderness the writer addresses, as well as what is the vision of modernizing country presented in fiction. Looking confirm that wilderness borns as modern, it is configured as a territory of the capital and specializes in the production of livestock, its allowed to wonder how the writer broke away from the condition of subordinated subject in merchandisings world to transpose into his artistic creation a critical reflexion in the world in which he lived. The study tracks the possibilities of a dialogue between literature and geography, considering how the former can contribute to the second and vice versa.

Em 1987, o conjunto arquitetônico e urbanístico de Brasília foi declarado patrimônio histórico da humanidade pela UNESCO. Tal fato relacionou-se diretamente com a preservação das características específicas do plano original de Lúcio Costa e com a preocupação em relação às descaracterizações que este vinha sofrendo desde a inauguração da cidade em 1960. O partido adotado na documentação de tombamento foi a estruturação espacial de Brasília baseada no equilíbrio entre as quatros escalas urbanas definidas no Relatório do Plano Piloto, com o qual Lúcio Costa concorreu no concurso para a escolha do plano para a nova capital do Brasil, em 1957. Sendo assim, o equilíbrio entre as escalas monumental, gregária, residencial e bucólica passou a orientar os mecanismos de salvaguarda do patrimônio histórico brasiliense. Dentre estas, a escala bucólica, pelas suas características, foi a que mais sofreu desde a inauguração da cidade, foram inúmeros processos de ocupação os responsáveis pelas diferenças entre a forma atual da cidade e a idealizada por Costa nos anos de 1950. A fragilidade da área em questão - o lago Paranoá e a escala bucólica é demonstrada pela sobreposição de dispositivos legais de preservação, sejam estes de proteção ambiental ou do patrimônio histórico e artístico de Brasília. Em ambos os casos, tais leis visam proporcionar uma característica contida na proposta original, o caráter de uma orla pública voltada para atividades de lazer. Tal caráter tem como maior empecilho as sucessivas privatizações de áreas públicas ocorridas desde a inauguração da cidade em 1960. Diante disto, o presente trabalho tem a intenção de discutir a legislação que incide sobre a área do Paranoá, seja esta constituída por leis ambientais ou legislação do tombamento do Plano Piloto - Escala Bucólica. Com o objetivo de entender de que forma tais dispositivos legais colaboram ou não para a apropriação pública da área, esta pesquisa traz um panorama da presença do lago ao longo da história. Panorama este que percorre desde a causa mudancista, suas transformações no tempo e, por fim as possibilidades e impossibilidades que o aparato legal tem de promover a configuração de uma orla voltada para atividades de lazer, acessível a todos os habitantes de Brasília. / In 1987, all the whole architectural and urbanistic of Brasilia was declared world heritage site by UNESCO. This fact is directly related to the preservation of specific characteristics of the original plan of Lúcio Costa for Brasilia and with the concern with the modifications that the plan was suffering since the inauguration of the city in 1960. The choice adopted of the documentation of preservation was the spatial structure of Brasilia based in the balance between the four scales urban defined in the Relatório do Plano Piloto. The plan that Lucio Costa competed in the tender to choose the plan for the new capital of Brazil in 1957. Therefore, the balance between the scales: monumental, gregária, residencial e bucólica went the guide to fair the mechanisms for protecting the heritage site of Brasilia. Among these, the scale bucólica, by their specific characteristics, was the most suffer since of the inauguration of the city, there were numerous cases of occupations irregulars the responsible for the differences between the current way of the city and the created by Costa in the years from 1950. The fragility of the area - the Paranoá lake and the bucólica scale - is demonstrated by overlapping of the legal devices to preserve, as much as whether environmental protection or the historical and artistic heritage site of Brasilia. In both cases, such laws are intended to provide one characteristic existent in the original proposal, the character of a public orla, for the leisure activities. This character has how biggest obstacle the subsequent privatization of public areas since the inauguration of the city in 1960. Facing this, the present dissertation intends to discuss the legislation that of the area of Paranoá lake, this legislation maybe about the environmental laws or laws of the preservation of the Pilot Plan - Bucólica scale. The objective of this dissertation is to understand how this legal device can work or not for the public ownership of the area, this research provides an overview of the presence of the lake throughout the history. This overview intends to review the presence of the lake since the first ideas of the change of the capital, its transformations over the time and finally the possibilities and impossibilities that the legal devices have of the fair of the orla of the Paranoá lake one place in fact public, turned to leisure activities and accessible to all inhabitants of Brasilia.
