A Study to Determine the Understanding of the Nature and Mission of Jesus Christ by Third Year Seminary Graduates of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day SaintsBaker, Terry R. 01 January 1973 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of the study was to determine what degree of understanding third year graduates of the SLVN Seminary District had of the nature and mission of Christ.The study was composed of a random sample of 200 third year seminary graduates. Each participant answered a questionnaire designed to test his understanding of the nature and mission of Christ. The responses were tabulated and presented in written and illustrative form.The students met the minimum established standard of 75% in four of the five concepts which they were questioned concerning the nature of Christ. The students met the minimum established standard in five of the eight concepts testing their understanding of the mission of Christ.Overall comprehension of both the nature and mission of Christ were considered adequate as the students averaged 80% correct responses to all questions.

[en] INTERPRETATIONS OF BRAZIL, CONTEMPORARY (DE)FORMATIONS / [pt] INTERPRETAÇÕES DO BRASIL, (DE)FORMAÇÃO CONTEMPORÂNEASVICTOR COUTINHO LAGE 11 October 2016 (has links)
[pt] A tese lida com escritos do século XX agrupados pela designação interpretações do Brasil , focando-se nos usos do conceito de formação nesses textos. Identifiquei cinco traços expostos nesses usos: (1) a centralidade da nação; (2) a incompletude da transição da condição colonial para a condição moderna; (3) a desigualdade interna no país; (4) a mobilização de parâmetros externos na definição do Brasil; e (5) o foco nas especificidades do processo formativo brasileiro. Esses cinco traços são comuns a todos os textos selecionados; no entanto, eles se expressam de maneiras diferentes de acordo com cada texto. A Parte I destaca a recorrência do conceito de formação nas interpretações do Brasil (capítulo 2); depois disso, expõe linhas gerais da perspectiva a partir da qual os usos de formação serão interpretados (capítulo 3). A Parte II (capítulos 4-12) se dedica à interpretação dos textos selecionados, com foco nos usos do conceito de formação e nos traços mencionados antes. A Parte III começa com uma controvérsia ocorrida principalmente no final dos anos 1980 e que se mostra expressiva de muitos aspectos levantadas na Parte II (capítulo 13); em seguida, abordo três intérpretes do Brasil que têm avançado, de formas diferentes, abordagens similares à que desenvolvo no final da tese; isto é, buscam uma interpretação alternativa da formação do Brasil contemporâneo (capítulos 14-16). Finalmente, a Parte IV parte da discussão precedente, a fim de refletir sobre os cinco traços de formação nas interpretações do Brasil , teorizando a partir de certo lugar. / [en] The dissertation deals with writings from the XX century grouped under the
notion of interpretations of Brazil , focusing on their uses of the concept of
formation . I have identified five traces exposed in those uses: (1) the centrality of
the nation; (2) the incompleteness of the transition from the colonial to the modern
condition, marking a coexistence of the old and the new; (3) the internal inequality
within the country; (4) the mobilization of external parameters in the definition of
Brazil; and (5) the focus on the specificities of Brazilian formative process. These
five traces are shared by all the texts selected; but, at the same time, they are
expressed in different ways according to each text. Part I stresses the recurrence of
the concept of formation in the interpretations of Brazil (chapter 2); after that,
it lays out general lines of the perspective from which the uses of formation will
be interpreted in the texts selected (chapter 3). Part II (chapters 4-12) is devoted to
the interpretations of the texts, focusing on the uses of formation and those five
traces previously mentioned. Part III begins with a controversy that took place
mainly in the late 1980s and that is expressive of many aspects raised in Part II
(chapter 13); then, it tackles three interpreters of Brazil that have advanced, in
different ways, efforts similar to the one I will embrace myself in the last part of the
text, that is, an alternative interpretation of the formation of contemporary Brazil
from some kind of engagement with previous interpretations of Brazil (chapters
14-16). Finally, Part IV (chapter 17) builds on the previous discussion, in order to
reflect upon, or theorize from, the five traces of formation in the interpretations
of Brazil .

Toward Error-Statistical Principles of Evidence in Statistical InferenceJinn, Nicole Mee-Hyaang 02 June 2014 (has links)
The context for this research is statistical inference, the process of making predictions or inferences about a population from observation and analyses of a sample. In this context, many researchers want to grasp what inferences can be made that are valid, in the sense of being able to uphold or justify by argument or evidence. Another pressing question among users of statistical methods is: how can spurious relationships be distinguished from genuine ones? Underlying both of these issues is the concept of evidence. In response to these (and similar) questions, two questions I work on in this essay are: (1) what is a genuine principle of evidence? and (2) do error probabilities have more than a long-run role? Concisely, I propose that felicitous genuine principles of evidence should provide concrete guidelines on precisely how to examine error probabilities, with respect to a test's aptitude for unmasking pertinent errors, which leads to establishing sound interpretations of results from statistical techniques. The starting point for my definition of genuine principles of evidence is Allan Birnbaum's confidence concept, an attempt to control misleading interpretations. However, Birnbaum's confidence concept is inadequate for interpreting statistical evidence, because using only pre-data error probabilities would not pick up on a test's ability to detect a discrepancy of interest (e.g., "even if the discrepancy exists" with respect to the actual outcome. Instead, I argue that Deborah Mayo's severity assessment is the most suitable characterization of evidence based on my definition of genuine principles of evidence. / Master of Arts

Artist as subject : subject as objectCruise, Wilma 09 1900 (has links)
The artist uses herself as the object of study. Her subjective position is
validated within a theoretical framework provided by feminism,
existentialism and Freudian theory. The three world views provide the
context for an analysis of sculpture produced between the years 1988
and 1997. Three one-person exhibitions held in 1990, 1993 and 1996,
are examined in terms of their iconographic emphasis and their
theoretical bias. The role of the unconscious in the genesis of the
sculptures and the problem of author/reader dichotomies in interpretation
are dealt with as thematic threads throughout the dissertation. / Department of History of Art and Fine Arts / M.A. (Fine Arts)

Kommunal samhällsbyggnad och demokratins flexibla väktare : - En studie om tjänstemännens förändrade arbete inom samhällsbyggnadsprocessen i Norrköpings kommunFredriksson, Oscar January 2016 (has links)
Municipal urban management and the democratic flexible guardian – a study concerning the officials’ changing work in the urban management process in the municipality of Norrköping. The purpose of this study is partly to analyse how implement measures in a change project (in the municipality of Norrköping) may impact the officials, linked to the urban management process, in their work practices. The study also aims to problematize a political science theory by Professor Lennart Lundquist (from 1998) that states how officials should relate to their office. The reason behind this problematizing stems from a shift in the municipalities’ responsibilities over the last 20 years. They have gone from having a more exclusively administrative responsibility to focus more on societal investment. The analysis of this study shows that a lot of the implement measures have a positive impact on the officials’ work practices, although some risks were found. The study also indicates that the imbalance between economical and democratic values (that is addressed in Lundquist’s theory) tend to even themselves out in order for a more sustainable development to be achieved.

A Comparative View of the Development of a Myth in Stendhal's "Le Rouge et le noir" and Flaubert's "Madame Bovary"Myers, Kenneth Wayne 08 1900 (has links)
The study is a comparative analysis of Stendhal's romantic interpretation and Flaubert's realistic interpretation of outdated myths. The first purpose of the study is to reveal the linear development of Julien Sorel and Emma Bovary in quest of their respective myths. The second is to reveal technical devices used by the authors that lead to diverse interpretations of the myths. The sources of data used in the study are Le Rouge et le noir and Madame Bovary and secondary materials concerning the two novels. The study is divided into five chapters including an introduction, two chapters that develop Julien's and Emma's respective myths, a chapter concerning technical devices used in the novels and a conclusion.

Modeling Preferences for Ambiguous Utterance Interpretations / Modélisation de préférences pour l'interprétation d'énoncés ambigusMirzapour, Mehdi 28 September 2018 (has links)
Le problème de représentation automatique de la signification logique des énoncés ambigus en langage naturel a suscité l'intérêt des chercheurs dans le domaine de la sémantique computationnelle et de la logique. L'ambiguïté dans le langage naturel peut se manifester au niveau lexical / syntaxique / sémantique de la construction de sens, ou elle peut être causée par d'autres facteurs tels que la grammaticalité et le manque de contexte dans lequel la phrase est effectivement prononcée. L'approche traditionnelle Montagovienne ainsi que ses extensions modernes ont tenté de capturer ce phénomène en fournissant quelques modèles qui permettent la génération automatique de formules logiques. Cependant, il existe un axe de recherche qui n'est pas encore profondément étudié: classer les interprétations d'énoncés ambigus en fonction des préférences réelles des utilisateurs de la langue. Ce manque suggère une nouvelle direction d'étude qui est partiellement explorée dans ce mémoire en modélisant des préférences de sens en alignement avec certaines des théories de performance préférentielles humaines bien étudiées disponibles dans la littérature linguistique et psycholinguistique.Afin d'atteindre cet objectif, nous suggérons d'utiliser / d'étendre les Grammaires catégorielles pour notre analyse syntaxique et les Réseaux catégoriels de preuve comme notre analyse syntaxique. Nous utilisons également le Lexique Génératif Montagovien pour dériver une formule logique multi-triée comme notre représentation de signification sémantique. Cela ouvrirait la voie à nos contributions à cinq volets, à savoir, (i) le classement de la portée du quantificateur multiple au moyen de l'opérateur epsilon de Hilbert sous-spécifié et des réseaux de preuve catégoriels; (ii) modéliser la gradation sémantique dans les phrases qui ont des coercitions implicites dans leurs significations. Nous utilisons un cadre appelé Montagovian Generative Lexicon. Notre tâche est d'introduire une procédure pour incorporer des types et des coercitions en utilisant des données lexicales produites par externalisation ouverte qui sont recueillies par un jeu sérieux appelé JeuxDeMots; (iii) l'introduction de nouvelles métriques sensibles au référent basées sur la localité pour mesurer la complexité linguistique au moyen de réseaux de preuve catégoriels; (iv) l'introduction d'algorithmes pour l'achèvement des phrases avec différentes mesures linguistiquement motivées pour sélectionner les meilleurs candidats; (v)l'intégration de différentes métriques de calcul pour les préférences de classement afin de faire d'elles un modèle unique. / The problem of automatic logical meaning representation for ambiguous natural language utterances has been the subject of interest among the researchers in the domain of computational and logical semantics. Ambiguity in natural language may be caused in lexical/syntactical/semantical level of the meaning construction or it may be caused by other factors such as ungrammaticality and lack of the context in which the sentence is actually uttered. The traditional Montagovian framework and the family of its modern extensions have tried to capture this phenomenon by providing some models that enable the automatic generation of logical formulas as the meaning representation. However, there is a line of research which is not profoundly investigated yet: to rank the interpretations of ambiguous utterances based on the real preferences of the language users. This gap suggests a new direction for study which is partially carried out in this dissertation by modeling meaning preferences in alignment with some of the well-studied human preferential performance theories available in the linguistics and psycholinguistics literature.In order to fulfill this goal, we suggest to use/extend Categorial Grammars for our syntactical analysis and Categorial Proof Nets as our syntactic parse. We also use Montagovian Generative Lexicon for deriving multi-sorted logical formula as our semantical meaning representation. This would pave the way for our five-folded contributions, namely, (i) ranking the multiple-quantifier scoping by means of underspecified Hilbert's epsilon operator and categorial proof nets; (ii) modeling the semantic gradience in sentences that have implicit coercions in their meanings. We use a framework called Montagovian Generative Lexicon. Our task is introducing a procedure for incorporating types and coercions using crowd-sourced lexical data that is gathered by a serious game called JeuxDeMots; (iii) introducing a new locality-based referent-sensitive metrics for measuring linguistic complexity by means of Categorial Proof Nets; (iv) introducing algorithms for sentence completions with different linguistically motivated metrics to select the best candidates; (v) and finally integration of different computational metrics for ranking preferences in order to make them a unique model.

Previous issue date: 2011 / FAPERGS - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul / O sistema LIDAR obtém nuvens de pontos georreferenciadas que podem ser convertidas em Modelos Digitais de Afloramentos (MDAs). Os pulsos de laser são gerados e emitidos por um Laser Scanner Terrestre, que atinge a superfície do afloramento em diferentes pontos. Estes objetos refletem o pulso incidente, que volta para o equipamento. Com isso, a distância entre o sensor e o objeto é determinada com base no intervalo de tempo entre a emissão e o retorno do pulso. Para fins de Modelagem Digital de Afloramentos (MDA) o uso dessa técnica é recente e necessita do desenvolvimento de pesquisas. Diante disso, o objetivo desse trabalho foi estabelecer uma sequencia de métodos envolvendo a aquisição e processamento de nuvem de pontos e a visualização e interpretação de superfícies e volumes de um Modelo Digital de Afloramentos (MDA). A Rocha da Pedra Pintada, localizado no Rio Grande do Sul na Cidade de Caçapava do Sul, foi imageado a partir de 7 estações e a nuvem totalizou 17 milhões de pontos, que foi convertida, após processamento, em um MDA. Para a interpretação geológica, utilizou-se a técnica de ortorretificação para sobrepor a nuvem de pontos a fotografias de alta resolução do afloramento, o que agregou qualidade na visualização e interpretação do MDA. Dificuldades nas etapas de tratamento dos dados ocorreram em razão do grande volume de dados, da ausência de recursos de otimização de processamento e da limitação no gerenciamento de banco de dados. Além disso, faz-se necessário desenvolver um aplicativo eficiente de visualização tridimensional com ferramentas especificas de interpretação geológica. / The LIDAR system provides georeferrenced clouds with thousand-to-million of points which can be converted in digital outcrops models. A laser beam is emitted and captured by a laser scanner after reaching an outcrop in many different positions. Based on the travel time between sensor and outcrop it is possible to determine the position of each point with high accuracy. This technique is still a novelty for applied studies in Geology, especially in Digital Outcrop Models (DOMs), being necessary research and development. Thus, the goal of this work was establish a workflow concerning acquisition and processing of point clouds, and visualization and geological interpretation of DOMs. The Pedra Pintada, located in the state Rio Grande do Sul in the city Caçapava do Sul outcrop was imaged from seven different stations and the cloud has 17 million points, converted in a DOM after processing. The geological interpretation was made possible by the orthorectification technique, in which a high resolution photograph overlies the point cloud and the visual quality is obtained. The huge volume of data, the lack of optimized processing resources and the inadequate dataset management became visualization and interpretation of DOMs a difficult task. Furthermore, it is necessary to develop a software with an efficient tridimensional visualization system with specific tools for geological interpretations.

Previous issue date: 2013-10-22 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The Second Vatican Council represented the greatest event of the Church in
the twentieth century and caused changes and effects that extend to the present.
The documents produced by this event has been over time, the object of discussion
between conservatives and progressives, whether of the clergy or the laity. The
historical context which the announcement occurred, preparation, realization and
reception of the Council, may somehow contribute to a better understanding of the
course of events, the scope and purpose of this event either at European level, either
in Latin American or Brazilian. In the latter case, the need for changes and
adaptation of the Church to the "new times", was accompanied by a growing tension
between the Church and the military regime, which, somehow, became the
preferential option for the poor on a flag not only pastoral but also politics. However,
the council was not perceived the same way by different interest groups inside the
church, and this thesis seeks to demonstrate exactly how such antagonistic
interpretations of the same event occurred. To make possible such intent, we used
the concepts of representations proposed by Chartier and "the world of the text and
the reader's world" _ present in the hermeneutics proposal of Ricoeur / O Concílio Vaticano II representou o maior acontecimento da Igreja no Século XX e
provocou mudanças e efeitos que se estendem até a atualidade. Os documentos
produzidos por esse evento tem sido ao longo do tempo, objeto de discussão entre
conservadores e progressistas, sejam eles do clero ou do laicato. O contexto
histórico onde ocorreu o anúncio, a preparação, a realização e a recepção do
Concílio, pode de certa forma, contribuir para uma melhor compreensão do
desenrolar dos acontecimentos, do alcance e dos efeitos desse evento, seja em
nível europeu, seja no âmbito latino-americano ou brasileiro. Neste último caso, a
necessidade de mudanças e de adaptação da Igreja aos novos tempos , foi
acompanhada por uma tensão cada vez maior entre a Igreja e o Regime Militar, o
que, de certa forma, tornou a opção preferencial pelos pobres numa bandeira não só
pastoral mas, também, política. No entanto, o Concílio não foi percebido da mesma
maneira pelos diferentes grupos de interesse dentro da Igreja e, esta tese procura
demonstrar exatamente como ocorreram interpretações tão antagônicas sobre o
mesmo evento. Para viabilizar tal intento, foram utilizados os conceitos de
representações propostos por Chartier e do mundo do texto e mundo do leitor
presente na proposta hermenêutica de Ricoeur
