Este estudo traz como temática central a inclusão da pessoa com deficiência no ensino superior. Para tanto, buscou-se compreender as singularidades da trajetória pessoal e aquelas relativas à escolarização de pessoas com deficiência que freqüentaram o ensino superior, identificando suas características e suas específicas necessidades no contexto educativo e acadêmico tomando como universo de referência a Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná – UNIOESTE. Tal pesquisa apresenta como referenciais teóricos as abordagens histórico-cultural, fundamentada na obra de Lev S. Vigotski, e sistêmica, baseada no pensamento de Humberto Maturana; autores que pensam o mundo e o sujeito numa visão monística, holística e transdisciplinar. Estabelecem um entrelaçamento permanente e contínuo entre o biológico, o social e o cultural ao afirmarem que os seres vivos e o meio não podem ser vistos em separado, mas em constantes interações. A dimensão teórica da pesquisa transcende os pressupostos epistemológicos dessas duas abordagens ao debruçar-se em um estudo acerca das políticas de inclusão no ensino superior. A abordagem metodológica escolhida é de natureza qualitativa, utilizando o método narrativo de histórias de vida. Foram selecionados quatro sujeitos com deficiência que concluíram o ensino médio, ingressaram na Universidade e inseriram-se no mercado de trabalho: um cego, um com visão reduzida e dois surdos. A partir do relato de suas histórias de vida foram construídos quatro eixos que orientaram as análises da pesquisa: processo de escolarização, contexto familiar, inserção profissional e imagem a respeito de si. O princípio básico no momento das análises das histórias de vida foi considerar cada sujeito de maneira individual e singular, mas não perdendo de vista a complexidade e os entrelaçamentos que emergem em decorrência de vários aspectos que fazem parte da trajetória de vida dos sujeitos. Os resultados evidenciam que, para além de qualquer alteração orgânica, é a partir das interações sociais estabelecidas com o outro e com o meio, que o sujeito, influenciado pelos aspectos vivenciados em sua história, educação e cultura, pode romper com seu determinismo biológico. Os apoios recebidos da família ou de alguém mais próximo no decorrer de toda trajetória de vida, a disposição interna de cada um dos sujeitos e o processo de compensação, foram considerados elementos disparadores para reafirmar a tese de que a pessoa com deficiência consegue avançar na escolarização e chegar ao ensino superior, conforme lhe sejam proporcionadas oportunidades de desenvolvimento e os recursos adequados ao seu processo de aprendizagem. / This study brings as its central theme the inclusion of people with deficiency in the superior teaching. However, it was a concern to understand the peculiarities of the personal trajectory and those related to schooling of people with deficiency who attended the superior teaching, identifying their characteristics and their specific needs in the educative and academic context taking as universe of reference the State University from West Parana – UNIOESTE. Such an inquiry presents as references the historical-cultural approach based on the work of Lev S. Vigotski, and the systemic approach, based on the thought of Humberto Maturana; authors who see the world and the subject in a monistic, holistic and transdisciplinar vision. They establish a constant and continuous interlacement between the biological, the social and the cultural thing when they are affirming that live beings and environment cannot be seen separated, but in constant interactions. The theoretical dimension of the inquiry transcends the epistemological presuppositions from these two approaches when goes deeply in a study about the superior teaching inclusion policies. The methodological approach chosen has a qualitative nature, using the narrative method of histories of life. Four subjects with deficiency who finished high school, went to the University and then inserted in the labor market were selected: a blind man, a man with reduced vision and two deaf persons. From the report of their histories of life were built four axles that orientated the analyses of the inquiry: process of schooling, familiar context, professional insertion and their image about themselves. The basic start during the analyses of their histories of life was to consider each subject in an individual and singular way, but without losing sight of the complexity and the interlacements that surface as a result of several aspects that make part of their life trajectory. The results show up that, besides any organic alteration, it is from the social interactions established with the other and the environment that the subject influenced by the aspects survived in his history, education and culture, can break with his biological determinism. The support received from the family or someone closer in the course of all life trajectory, at inside arrangement of each one of the subjects and the process of compensation, were considered as triggers elements to reaffirm the thesis of a human being with deficiency can manage to advance in the schooling and reach the superior teaching, according to the opportunities of development provided to him and the appropriate resources to his process of apprenticeship.

O trabalho justifica-se pela preocupante constatação, gerada por pesquisas e avaliações de desempenho, das enormes dificuldades de escrita apresentadas pelos estudantes brasileiros, em todos os níveis educacionais. A investigação que sustenta a tese baseou-se, teórica e metodologicamente, na Psicologia Histórico-Cultural (especialmente, nos postulados de Lev S. Vygotsky), mediante abordagem qualitativa de coleta e análise de dados e realizada 100% online. A pesquisa compreendeu o período histórico de três anos e meio (de 2009/2 a 2012/2) e envolveu a realização de quatro intervenções pedagógicas, ao longo desse período. As intervenções (planejadas, implementadas e avaliadas – ao seu final), levadas a cabo pelo autor deste trabalho, intencionavam contribuir para o aprimoramento da expressão escrita de um grupo de acadêmicas e foram guiadas, fundamentalmente, pelos conceitos vygotskianos de consciência e controle. A implementação foi efetivada por meio de constante diálogo com as acadêmicas, intervindo diretamente em seus textos e enfatizando a importância de desenvolverem consciência sobre os próprios problemas de escrita para que, então, pudessem corrigi-los, controlá-los. O suporte linguístico às intervenções foi constituído a partir de pressupostos da Linguística Textual. Segundo essa corrente, o texto é considerado não como uma simples sequência de frases isoladas, mas como uma unidade com propriedades estruturais específicas, envolvendo, em sua produção e interpretação, conhecimentos linguísticos e aspectos culturais e históricos. Foram intencionalmente selecionadas, para a análise dos efeitos das intervenções, as produções textuais de três acadêmicas da turma investigada, com base em seu interesse em colaborar com a pesquisa e na disponibilidade para interagirem (online) com o pesquisador. A análise dos dados, para a avaliação dos efeitos das intervenções, mostrou que as acadêmicas: reagiram positivamente às intervenções pedagógicas; tomaram consciência sobre suas dificuldades de escrita; demonstraram maturidade ao lidarem com apontamentos relativos a tais dificuldades; buscaram superá-las; assumiram postura autocrítica com relação ao ato de escrever e; relataram que passaram a prestar mais atenção ao fato de que escrevem para um leitor e à importância de revisarem seus textos. Em termos da qualidade dos textos, observou-se: evolução no quesito organização da macroestrutura textual; emprego em maior número e com maior diversidade de articuladores textuais, embora ainda houvessem sido observadas incorreções no emprego desses recursos e; diminuição do número de períodos demasiadamente longos, indicando melhora no quesito pontuação. A melhor organização da macroestrutura textual e o uso mais adequado de recursos de articulação e pontuação contribuíram para a melhor exposição de ideias, nos textos produzidos pelas acadêmicas. O trabalho permite afirmar, assim, que as intervenções colaboraram para a melhora da escrita das acadêmicas que delas participaram e espera-se que possa contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias relacionadas ao ensino e à aprendizagem da escrita – artefato cultural tão importante, seja como componente social, seja como ferramenta do pensamento. / This Doctoral Thesis aimed to investigate the E-learning Pedagogy Course’s students written expression evolution possibilities. This study is justified by the alarming situation, generated by research and performance evaluations, related to the enormous difficulties of writing submitted by Brazilian students, at all educational levels. This research was based, theoretically and methodologically, on the Cultural-Historical Psychology (especially on Lev S. Vygotsky postulates), held 100% online and through qualitative approach for the collecting and analyzing data. The research was conducted during the historical period of three years and a half (2009/2 to 2012/2) and involved four Pedagogical Interventions, over this period. The Interventions (planned, implemented and evaluated on their end), carried out by the author of this work, tried to contribute to the academics’ written expression improvement and were guided by the Vygotskian concepts of consciousness and control. Its implementation was accomplished through constant dialogue with the academics, intervening directly in their texts and emphasizing the importance of developing awareness of their own writing problems and, then, they could fix them, control them. For the linguistics supports, the interventions were constructed over the Textual Linguistics’ assumptions. According to this theoretical approach, the text is considered not just as a simple sequence of sentences, but as an unit with specific structural properties, involving, in its production and interpretation, language skills and cultural and historical aspects. For the effects of interventions analysis over the textual productions, were intentionally selected three academics from the investigated class, based on their interest in collaborating with the research and on their availability to interact (online) with the researcher. The data analysis, for the interventions evaluation, showed that the academics: reacted positively to the Pedagogical Interventions; demonstrated maturity in dealing with notes concerning their own writing difficulties; sought to overcome these difficulties; became aware of their writing difficulties; assumed self-critical attitude toward the act of writing; reported that they began to pay more attention to the fact that they write for a reader and to the importance of reviewing their texts. In terms of the texts quality, it was observed: evolution on textual macrostructure organization; quantity and diversity of connectives use increase, although it was still observed inaccuracies in their use, and; number of too long periods decrease, indicating an advance on the punctuation application. The better textual macrostructure organization and the most appropriate use of connectives and punctuation contributed to the better exposure of the academics’ ideas in their texts. The work allows us to state so that the interventions contributed to the academics’ writing improvement and are expected this work contributes to the development of strategies related to teaching and learning of writing - as important cultural artifact, either as a social component or as a tool of thought.

This study is a historical analytical investigation and theological interpretation of Wesleyan Methodists' political teaching and practice in Zimbabwe from 1891 to 1980. In an attempt to come up with an informed interpretation of the political teaching and activities, the study traced Wesleyan Methodist political praxis John Wesley, the founder of Methodism and interpreted his teaching and practice from a third world perspective. That perspective was used as a basis for evaluating the contextualisation of his teaching by Wesleyan Methodists in Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwean Wesleyan Methodists' political teaching and practice during the colonial era were explored using four themes: politics of land, race relationships, Federation and war. Two hypothetical statements were tested in this study: Wesleyan Methodism outlines a framework for constructive participation in politics, and the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Zimbabwe provided and supported positions of political leadership in Zimbabwe. The objectives of this study are to: unveil successes and failures of Wesleyan Methodists in Zimbabwean political arena, expose the historical significance of Wesleyan Methodist influence in politics for Zimbabwean history and present a historical account of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Zimbabwe. The methodology preferred in this study included oral history and a combination of the ecumenical and southern approaches to Church history. The study utilised archival and oral data as primary sources, the translation model of contextual theology, holistic framework for analysing history, the principle of the overriding right and the conflict transformation model as part of the methodology. Through the use of the translation model of contextual theology, the study revealed how John Wesley used principles from the Christian message and Church tradition in addressing his political context. The study exposed that John Wesley was obsessed with accountability to God and constituency, respect for every person, respect for political structures as well as authorities and relationships among people as fundamental pillars in political activities. He based these on his understanding of God's free grace, people's liberty to accept or reject that grace and the validity of popular religious expression. The study revealed that Wesleyan Methodists in Zimbabwe had a special relationship with the colonial government due to an invitation by Cecil John Rhodes for the church to participate in the Pioneer Column. The relationship determined how retrogressive or progressive ministers responded to government requirements and made demands on government until the country's independence in 1980. The study also exposed how retrogressive Wesleyan Methodists moved from acceptance and collaboration to acceptance and selective rejection of colonial policies and how both retrogressive and progressive ministers employed the concept of non-contestation of participation in armed conflict and throwing one’s lot on the expected side. It also showed how progressive ministers contributed to the political emancipation of Africans and the role played by the mission-educated elite in Zimbabwe. The study ended with pointing out that Zimbabwean Wesleyan Methodist political teaching and practice had very bright future prospects at the independence of the country in 1980. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Church History and Church Policy / Unrestricted

Students diagnosed with long-term mental health conditions have been the focus of policy development for over a decade. Student mental health is on the increase and universities are legally obliged to make reasonable adjustments for disabled students. Therefore it is crucial that nursing and midwifery education provides an inclusive learning environment, while maintaining fitness to practice standards. The focus of this study was to explore how discourses of mental health, reasonable adjustments and fitness standards influence nursing and midwifery education for students with a mental health condition. Principles of Wodak’s (2001) critical discourse analysis approach, which gives prominence to dominant discourses, their justifications and persuasive nature was utilised. Ten key written texts and 23 semi-structured interviews with students, lecturers and clinical mentors were conducted to acquire the constructions of mental health, reasonable adjustments and fitness requirements. The findings show that the dominant discourses attributed to students experiencing mental ill health were around medicine, difference and blame, all of which reinforced mental health stigma. In addition, mental health discourses within both verbal and written texts were not underpinned by disability discourses, allowing the exclusion of students who disclose mental ill health from accessing reasonable adjustments. In conclusion, students considered to have a mental health label faced discriminatory barriers and legislative and regulatory requirements of equality were not implemented.

This paper explores the linguistic construction of the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyj, in Swedish newspapers in 2019 and 2022. Using the framework of Critical Discourse Studies along with Cognitive Linguistics the aim of the study is to gain an understanding of what constructs a heroism discourse surrounding Zelensky. Utilizing the Discourse-Historical Approach as the main method allows for a certain qualitative analysis of news texts which illuminate discursive strategies and possible conceptual metaphors. Findings suggest there has been a shift in the discourse concerning Zelensky, and that he in march 2022 is part of a heroism discourse in which he symbolizes change. / Den här uppsatsen har som syfte att utforska hur Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelenskyj är framställd i svensk media i 2019 och 2022. Utifrån det teoretiska ramverket bestående av kritisk diskursanalys och kognitiv lingvistik undersöks hur diskursen kring Zelenskyj sett ut och hur den har förändrats. Studien utgår från den diskurshistoriska analysen eftersom den möjliggör för kvalitativ analys av nyhetstexter genom att belysa underliggande diskursiva strategier och eventuella konceptuella metaforer. Resultaten visar att diskursen kring Zelenskyj har genomgått en skiftning och att han i mars 2022 ingår i en hjältediskurs, vari han symboliserar förändring.

This thesis employs a historical approach to practical theology in an effort to discover resources from past practices for critical reflection upon a current methodology with the intent of producing a revised practice. The following research question is pursued: How can the practices of patristic preachers enhance the current efforts of redemptive-historical preachers to preach faithfully the New Testament quotations of the Old Testament? Chapter One reviews literature from five major redemptive-historical theologians: Geerhardus Vos, Edmund Clowney, Sidney Greidanus, Bryan Chapell, and Graeme Goldsworthy. Five of the major shared characteristics of these authors are considered in light of their various contributions. Chapters Two, Three, and Four examine various patristic homilies, outlining practical considerations for a contemporary model of preaching. Chapter Two examines two early homilies, 2 Clement and Quis Dives Salvetur, noting the influence of the synagogue. Chapters Three and Four respectively examine the preaching of Origen and Chrysostom. Chapter Five outlines some major characteristics of patristic preaching discovered through a comparison of the findings of chapters Two through Four. Chapter Six provides a model for preaching New Testament quotations of the Old Testament that is consistent with the theological convictions of redemptive-historical homileticians and informed by the insights gained from reflection upon the practices of patristic preachers. This model makes an original contribution to knowledge by advancing the discussion of redemptive-historical preaching both through the application of the redemptive-historical approach to the New Testament quotations of the Old Testament and through the consideration of the relationship between redemptive-historical practices and patristic practices. / Practical Theology / D.

Cette thèse analyse l’évolution et la variété des systèmes de contrôle de gestion (SCG) dans le contexte de transition post-soviétique et détermine les facteurs qui expliquent l’existence, l’étendue et l’usage des SCG. Des études de cas longitudinales sur deux anciennes entreprises soviétiques d’État (perspective historique) permettent de déterminer les principales caractéristiques des SCG dans le cadre du système économique centralisé et d’expliquer les transformations induites par la transition vers l’économie de marché dans une perspective de l’ancien institutionnalisme économique. Une étude de cas multiple (huit entreprises) évalue l’état actuel du contrôle de gestion et constate une diversité des SCG. En mobilisant les théories institutionnelles et de la contingence, huit facteurs potentiels d’influence des SCG sont identifiés (3 institutionnels et 5 contingents) et analysés ensuite à l’aide de l’analyse quali-quantitative comparée, méthode qui permet de traiter un petit nombre de cas. Les résultats mettent en exergue l’influence des pressions coercitives sur l’existence d’un système de contrôle formel, des pressions normatives sur son usage instrumental et de la décentralisation sur la nature stratégique de ce système. Cette analyse permet de proposer une typologie des SCG en contexte post-soviétique. / This thesis analyzes the evolution and the diversity of management control systems (MCS) in the post-Soviet transition context and determines the factors that explain the existence, extent and use of MCS. Longitudinal case studies of two former Soviet state enterprises (historical perspective) allow to determine the main features of MCS in the context of the centralized economic system and to explain the transformations induced by the transition to a market economy through the old economic institutionalism approach. A multiple case study (8 companies) assesses the current state of management control and notes a diversity of MCS. By mobilizing the institutional and contingency theories, eight potential influence factors are identified (3 institutional and 5 contingent) and then analyzed using the Qualitative Comparative Analysis, a method that allows the treatment of small number of cases. The results highlight the influence of coercive pressures on the existence of a formal control system, of normative pressures on its instrumental use and of decentralization on the strategic dimension of this system. This analysis allows to propose a typology of MCS in a post-Soviet context.
