This Master’s Thesis seeks to explain the internal conflicts faced by Guyon, the titular hero of Book II of Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene. Starting with Thomas Aquinas’ designations of the sensitive versus the intellectual appetite, I show that Guyon struggles to maintain the dominance of his intellectual appetite as he puts his vaunted temperance to a series of tests. The hero manages to appease his sensitive appetite through the vice of curiositas, yet the power of his sensitive appetite demands dramatic and violent acts of repression to quash it in Mammon’s Cave and in the Bower of Bliss. Guyon’s intellectual appetite to maintain temperance in Gloriana’s kingdom, aided by the guidance of the Palmer, leads Guyon to succeed in his quest yet reveals the incompatibility between temperance and the desirous and glory-seeking life of a knight errant.

The objective of the research is to analyse the contractual relations which are being formed between Brazil Ecodiesel and agricultural families, especially producers of mammon in the North East region, within the range of PNPB. The logic of the Principal-Agent of Moral Hazard was used to analyse the contract, attempting to solve the problem of asymmetry existing in such a connection and discussing, if the contract encourages families, producers of mammon, and affects the production. The results infer that agricultural families feel attracted to participate in contract and its design at first sight is appropriate to stimulate the efforts. However, other factors besides the contract, for example, questions in structural characteristics of agriculture, can influence that the connection would not be favourable for the parties involved and farmers will end up consolidation of a productive bio diesel network. / O governo brasileiro deu início a uma política de apoio à produção do biodiesel, desenvolvida por meio do Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso do Biodiesel (PNPB), que tem por finalidade integrar os agricultores familiares à oferta de biocombustíveis. O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar as relações contratuais que se formaram entre a empresa Brasil Ecodiesel e os agricultores familiares, em especial os produtores de mamona da região Nordeste, no âmbito do PNPB. Para analisar o contrato foi utilizada a lógica da abordagem Principal-Agente com Moral Hazard, atentando-se para o problema de assimetria de informação existente em tal relação, e discutido se o contrato incentiva os produtores familiares de mamona a se esforçarem na produção. Os resultados inferem que os agricultores familiares sentem-se atraídos a participar do contrato e que o desenho do contrato em primeira vista é adequado para estimular o esforço do mesmo. Porém, outros fatores além do contrato, como por exemplo, as características estruturais do setor agrícola em questão, podem influenciar para que a relação não seja favorável para as partes e esses agricultores acabarem por não se consolidar na cadeia produtiva do biodiesel.

In this thesis, the Researcher argues that the Border Black Baptist Churches form two-thirds of the membership of the Border Baptist in the Association. The researcher is concerned that they are growing in numbers but declining in finances. This problem is affecting the body of Jesus Christ locally, nationally and globally. It does not end there but the Great Commission (Matt 28:16-20) has also been affected. My personal interest is to show that Border Black Baptist Churches are not necessarily poor but need some kind of profound teaching and motivation. It means that in the Border/Amathole region we need self-propagating, self-supporting, self-governing and self- theologizing within our own culture. We need to see that the tithing system is God’s plan for giving. It is instituted by God and encompasses His promises, only if we obey Him. In the Border Black Baptist Churches there is also a need to see that freewill offerings are part and parcel of God’s plan for financial giving and stewardship. It means that giving to God must be seen as Creation, Sowing and Reaping Principles. My research methodology includes interviews, questionnaires and study of the relevant literature. The reason for this research is to bring clarity about financial giving and stewardship in these Churches. The whole purpose is to see financially matured Border Black Baptist Churches in this region. / Dissertation (MA(Theol))--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Practical Theology / unrestricted

This paper contains an overview of some of the main 20th Century tendencies in translation theory. It focus especially on matters of equivalence, dynamic equivalence, formal equivalence, skopos, abusive fidelity and foreignizing translation or resistant translation and their implications for actual translations. This paper also includes translations prepared according to the principles of abusive fidelity, equivalence and dynamic equivalence, which are compared and commented.
