Por medio de un análisis hermenéutico de la obra "Cómo hacer cosas con Palabras" se constata que, según la visión pragmática y lingüística austiniana, la fuerza ilocutiva es, representa o contiene, el impulso de ciertas fuerzas intencionales, psíquicas, mentales, comportamentales e interactivas del parlante en la emisión del acto ilocucionario y la realización de la correspondiente acción.Esta idea tiende a confirmarse y a corroborarse por dos caminos, o por medio de dos procedimientos integrados: a) Por el análisis hermenéutico comparado de la visión austiniana con las concepciones pragmáticas y lingüísticas de Searle, Grice, Leech, Levinson y Malinowski; b) Por el replanteamiento del análisis empírico de numerosos actos ilocucionarios, y el análisis empírico de nuevos actos, por medio del paradigma y los procedimientos analíticos austinianos.Se constata, además, por los mismos procedimientos analíticos austinianos, que el acto ilocucionario, y, por lo tanto, la fuerza ilocutiva, puede manifestarse, o lograrse, de dos maneras o por dos procedimientos: a) De manera verbal, o sea, por medio de verbos y expresiones funcionando como marcadores ilocucionarios explícitos; y b) De manera no verbal, por medio de operaciones no verbales y/o cognitivas compartidas de la acción, del contexto de situación, de las circunstancias de la emisión, de las intenciones, estrategias y funciones del parlante. ENGLISH / The hermeneutic analysis of "How to do things with words" by Austin verifies that the ilocutive force either is, represents or contains the impulse of the intentional, psychic, mental, functional and interactive forces of the speaker in the emission of the ilocutionary act. Austin's idea that the act of speaking has, in certain uses and contexts, a real force that produces effects and is reinforced by two paths: a) By the compared analysis of Austin's vision with the pragmatic and linguistic visions of Searle, Grice, Leech, Levinson and Malinowski; b) By the empirical and pragmatic analysis of the illocutionary acts. The ilocutive force is a real force, that has the entire meaning of the word, and has to be identified and characterized by an Action Theory and not by a Meaning Theory.The ilocutive force can be demonstrated, or achieved, by two ways: a) In a verbal way, or, by verbs and expressions that work as explicit illocutionary scoreboards; b) In a non-verbal way, by non-verbal or cognitive shared operations of the action, intentions, strategies and functions of the speaker.RESUMÉ FRANÇAISL'analyse herméneutique du travail 'Quand dire c'est faire: how to do things with words', d'Austin, vérifie que la force illocutive est, représente ou contient l'impulsion des forces intentionnelles, psychiques, mentales, fonctionnelles et interactives de l'orateur(du speaker) dans l'émission de l'acte ilocutoire. L'idée d'Austin que l'acte de discours a, dans de certaines utilisations et contextes, une force réelle qui produit des effets, est renforcée par deux chemins: a) Pour l'analyse comparée de la vision austiniana avec les visions pragmatiques et linguistiques de Searle, Grice, Leech, Levinson et Malinowski; b) Pour l'analyse empirique et pragmatique des actes illocutoires.La force illocutive est une force réelle à la signification entière du mot, qui doit être identifiée et caractérisée selon une Théorie de l'Action et pas selon la Théorie de la Signification.La force ilocutive peut être démontrée, ou réalisée, par deux voies: a) d'une façon verbale, par des verbes et les expressions qui travaillent comme des tableaux d'affichage ilocutoires explicites; b) d'une façon non-verbal, par les opérations partagées pas verbales ou cognitives de l'action, les intentions, les stratégies et les fonctions de l'orateur(du speaker).

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018. / The oil industry has been a major contributor to economic development in many countries; providing jobs, revenue, infrastructure and businesses to third parties. However, this development has also come with adversity on the physical environment. The oil industry accounts for the highest Green House Gas (GHG) emissions in the world, making it the number one polluter. In addition, South Africa has been regarded as the biggest polluter in Africa, with fossil-based fuel cited as the major cause of environmental degradation. South Africa’s physical environment is also cited as having degraded more than most countries in Africa. This proposition requires players in the oil industry to urgently address this situation. As the future of economic development is likely to be spearheaded by the oil industry, concerns have been raised at the slow rate of addressing oil companies’ operations which causes the environment to be less sustainable. This study uses a qualitative content analysis to explore the oil companies’ actions towards addressing environmental adversity caused by their unsustainable operations. In order to be environmental sustainable, oil companies must; incorporate environmental sustainability into missions and visions, financial investment into sustainable initiatives, involve top management in environmental programs, engage stakeholder, comply and align organisational processes and operations with environmental legislations and introducing renewable energy.

La prosodia es un elemento fundamental en el proceso de enseñanza de una lengua extranjera, ya que provee al hablante de características esenciales en la comunicación como naturalidad y fluidez. En virtud de lo anterior, un sistema de enseñanza de segundo idioma asistido por computador debe poseer un módulo mediante el cual los estudiantes puedan entrenar su percepción y producción de prosodia. El sistema de evaluación de pronunciación por tono que se describe y desarrolla a lo largo de este trabajo pretende evaluar la entonación de un estudiante mediante una comparación entre su propia voz y una señal pregrabada de referencia. El usuario escucha una cierta palabra u oración con una determinada melodía, y luego intenta imitarla. Finalmente, el sistema entrega un puntaje o nota conforme a la similitud alcanzada. La implementación de la herramienta involucra el uso del algoritmo de alineamiento temporal dinámico (DTW, Dynamic Time Warping) y la estimación de la frecuencia fundamental f 0 . Se realizaron diversos experimentos utilizando una base de datos compuesta por palabras y oraciones en inglés, grabada por locutores nativos del español. Para la mejor configuración, el coeficiente de correlación entre los resultados entregados por el sistema y la evaluación esperada es igual a 0,87. Por otra parte, para evaluación de acentuación se obtiene una tasa de error igual a 20,97% en el mejor de los casos.

Diversos estudos mostram que a escola seria um dos locais privilegiados para que ocorra a detecção e intervenção em casos de violência sexual, levando em consideração o extenso período de tempo em crianças e adolescentes passam nessa instituição. Sabemos que os profissionais da escola tem o dever legal e .ético em notificar às autoridades competentes casos suspeitos ou confirmados de abuso e exploração sexual. Entretanto, as escolas e os professores aparecem em números reduzidos enquanto agentes denunciantes e uma das explicações para esta baixa taxa de denúncias seria a falta de formação sobre o tema durante a formação inicial de educadores. Sendo a violência sexual infanto-juvenil um tema que é alvo de discussão por diversos segmentos sociais, que tem como objetivo comum a proteção dessa população, voltamos nossas preocupações para o universo de informações que possíveis futuros professores tem acerca da referida temática. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar o conhecimento de alunos dos penúltimos anos dos cursos de licenciatura da FCT/ UNESP sobre o tema violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes e aplicar um programa de intervenção junto aos licenciandos, visando uma formação profissional sobre a temática, cujos conhecimentos foram avaliados anterior e posteriormente à capacitação...

Many researches has shown that schools are the best place for detecting and intervention in cases of sexual violence, taking into account the extended period of time children and youth spend in such an institution. However, the school professionals are the less group of people that use to report cases of sexual abuse and exploitation and it happens due the lack of information they have about this issue, since they have no discussion about it in the undergraduate studies. Sexual violence has been a very important issue for many group of professionals, concerned with the prevention of this phenomenon, so our interest is to identify the level of information of future teachers about this issue. This research aimed to: verify the knowledge of penultimate year students of undergraduate studies in courses of teacher training at UNESP, Campus of Presidente Prudente about sexual violence and to carry out with them an intervention program aiming to a professional training in regard sexual violence. The students' knowledge was evaluated through the use of pre and post test. The research was divided into two phases. In the first one... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Thesis (MEng (Chemical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2020 / Continuous growth in the world population has raised significant fears with regards to the sustainability of energy and water resources. Globally, water is an indispensable resource as it is essential for the sustenance of human, animal and plant life. Water is essential for all forms of life and plays a pivotal role in economic growth. The textile industry is one of the greatest consumers of water, it is, therefore, necessary to effectively treat the large amounts of wastewater before discharge to the environment. It is estimated that annually, more than 700,000-tonnes of textile wastewater is produced by the dyeing industry. Textile wastewater is generally characterised by electrolytes, suspended solids, mineral oils and multiple textile dyes, and has therefore been classified as one of the most polluting wastewaters. These dyes are toxic and, in most cases, are not biodegradable. The presence of very small amounts (i.e. < 1 ppm) of dyes in water has aesthetic impacts and is thus undesirable. It is, therefore, necessary to treat textile wastewater before discharging. Currently, membrane technology is widely used for wastewater treatment, as well as water purification. Forward osmosis (FO) is a promising technology for both these applications. FO is characterised by the flow of water through a semipermeable membrane from a feed solution (FS) characterised by the low solute concentration or low osmotic pressure (OP) to a draw solution (DS) characterised by the high solute concentration or high OP, due to the OP gradient across the membrane. The FO process eliminates the need for high hydraulic pressure, as required in traditional membrane technologies, and also has low fouling tendencies. Furthermore, FO has the advantage of lower energy requirements and membrane replacement costs. However, there are still many disadvantages such as reverse solute flux (RSF), membrane fouling, and concentration polarisation (CP) amongst others that still need to be addressed. Therefore, more research needs to be done in light of these limitations to better understand and mitigate these limitations to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the FO process. This study aimed to evaluate a dye-driven FO system for the reclamation of water from textile wastewater and synthetic brackish water (BW5) by investigating the effects of membrane orientation, system flowrate, change in DS, and membrane fouling on the FO systems performance and energy consumption. The FS used was BW5 with sodium chloride (NaCl) content of 5 g/L whereas Reactive Black 5 (i.e. a reactive dye) and Maxilon Blue GRL (i.e. a basic dye) dyes were used as a DS, respectively. The membrane utilised was a cellulose triacetate (CTA) membrane and was tested in FO mode and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) mode whilst the system flowrate was adjusted to 400, 500 and 600 mL/min, respectively. Experiments were performed using a bench-scale FO setup which comprised of an FO membrane cell, a double-head variable speed peristaltic pump, a digital scale, two reservoirs for the FS and DS, respectively, a digital multiparameter meter and a digital electrical multimeter to measure system energy consumption. Each experiment comprised of six steps: baseline 1 (membrane control), main experiment (dye-driven FO experiment), baseline 2 (membrane control repeat), membrane cleaning, membrane integrity (membrane damage dye identification) and membrane cleaning (preparation for next experiment). The baseline 1 and baseline 2 experiments operated for 3 h whilst each membrane cleaning procedure operated for 30 min. The main experiments operated for 5 h in the FO mode and 4 h in PRO mode whilst the membrane integrity experiments operated until a minimum of 10 mL water was recovered. Results showed that the PRO mode achieved both higher forward flux (𝐽𝑤) (i.e. 8.87, 8.71 and 9.13 L/m2.h for flowrates of 400, 500 and 600 ml/min) and water recovery (𝑅𝑒) rates compared to FO mode (i.e. 6.60, 6.88 and 7.58 L/m2.h for flowrates of 400, 500 and 600 ml/min). The variation of flowrates had little to no influence on the 𝐽𝑤, 𝐽𝑠 and 𝑅𝑒 of the system. The system consumed less energy in PRO mode (i.e. 381 kWh/m3 average consumption for all three flowrates) than FO mode (i.e. 417 kWh/m3 average consumption for all three flowrates). It was also observed that at a higher DS 𝑂𝑃, the system consumed less energy. Therefore, selecting an optimum initial 𝑂𝑃 is essential for a FO process to minimise the pumping energy. Furthermore, a change in DS from Reactive Black 5 dye to Maxilon Blue GRL dye had no significant impact on the system performance and energy consumption. In this study, no significant membrane fouling was observed, however, minute traces of fouling in the form of foreign functional groups could be observed in the attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) spectrums of the used membranes. Additionally, the observation of negligible changes in baseline 2 (membrane control) Re and Jw results suggested the possible occurrence of membrane fouling during the main experiment (dye-driven FO system).
