The thesis presents Mark Twain's 1601 in the form of a new edition comprising a critical analysis, a photographic copy of the only authorized text of the work, and a glossary.

This paper is a study of the repetitions in the works of Mark Twain.The author has chosen repetitions which are most nearly alike and most representative of Mark Twain. The study was limited to repetitions of his own experiences repeated in his works, to repetitions of descriptions of the beautiful and the horrible, and to repetitions which are a result of his humor and a desire to save man from himself.

Mark Twain is universally recognized as an important author in American literature, and in addition to his success as an author, he was equally successful as an oral interpreter. His career as an interpreter and lecturer commenced at the age of twelve in Hannibal, Missouri, and in later years expanded to cover the globe. Twain lectured throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, India, South Africa, England, New Zealand, Scotland, and Canada. Throughout his writings, Mark Twain included statements pertaining to his delivery of these lectures and platform readings, and he also included comments on techniques for oral interpretation in general.

This thesis argues that the Gospel of Mark reflects a social location within the social boundaries of the Jewish ethnos and outlines relevant features of Mark’s configuration of Jewishness. It is divided into two parts. Part one provides a flexible definition of Jewishness in antiquity in order to assess what it meant to be Jewish and what characterized the boundaries between Jews and non-Jews. It makes an independent contribution to the study of Jewishness in antiquity by using a recent sociological model that explains how and why ethnicity matters in certain societies and contexts to map changes and features of Jewishness during the Hasmonean and Early Roman periods (129 BCE–132 CE) in the Southern Levant. It also addresses the relevant methodological issues for locating texts in relation to a social category such as “Jewish.” Part two addresses the Gospel of Mark through the same methodological lens and in light of the re-conceptualization of Jewishness. It both argues that Mark should be read as a Jewish text and addresses how Mark configures Jewishness. It shows that the categorical boundaries in the text reflect a common Jewish way of categorizing and ranking people. In particular, Mark’s narrative assumes a hierarchical relation between the Jews and other people groups (i.e., “gentiles” or “the nations”) in which Jews are to the nations as children are to dogs. In addition, Mark’s narrative employs the concept of the kingdom of God to remake the boundary system of Roman Judea in two ways. First, Mark attempts to overturn the hierarchical Roman/Jew boundary by presenting the kingdom of God as imminent, earthly, and entailing the end of Roman power. Second, Mark subdivides the Jewish ethnos by limiting kingdom membership to “righteous” members of the Jewish ethnos, a strategy shared with the majority of Jewish texts examined in part one. The concluding section addresses the configuration of Jewishness in Mark’s narrative in terms of six common features of ethnic identity. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / This thesis argues that the Gospel of Mark should be read as Jewish literature and examines how Mark configures Jewishness. Part one provides a flexible definition of Jewishness in the Southern Levant during the Hasmonean and Early Roman periods (129 BCE–132 CE). Part two shows that the categorical boundaries in the Gospel of Mark reflect a common Jewish way of categorizing and ranking people groups. It then examines how Mark uses the concepts of the kingdom of God and Torah observance to overturn the hierarchical Roman/Jew boundary and limit kingdom membership to the righteous ones among the Jewish people. While Mark may assume that non-Jews participate in the expected kingdom, the absence of direct evidence highlights the Jewish-centric perspective of Mark’s Gospel.

Kaip jau nurodyta pavadinime, magistro darbe pateikiama viešosios tvarkos ir moralės, kaip pagrindo atsisakyti registruoti Bendrijos prekių ženklą, analizė. Darbas susideda iš dviejų dalių, kurių pirmojoje pateikiama viešosios tvarkos ir moralės sampratų bei teorijų įvairovė, jų tarpusavio ryšys ir santykis su teisės normomis, įvertinamas šio pagrindo santykis su įsitikinimu išraiškos laisve. Antrojoje darbo dalyje pagrindinis dėmesys kreipiamas į tarptautinių, Europos Sąjungos ir nacionalinių institucijų praktiką, nagrinėjant bylas, susijusias su atsisakymu registruoti žymenį, prieštaraujantį viešajai tvarkai ir moralei. Paskutinėje darbo dalyje autorė apibendrina pagrindines prekių ženklų vertinimo gaires ir kriterijus. Tyrimo tikslas yra atskleisti viešosios tvarkos ir moralės sampratų įvairovę ir jų turinio priklausomybę nuo daugelio veiksnių, įvertinti viešosios tvarkos ir moralės apsaugos ir įsitikinimų išraiškos laisvės santykį ir nubrėžti prekių ženklų vertinimo gaires ir kriterijus. Tokiu būdu, įvykdžius šiuos tikslus, darbe pateikiami teoriniai argumentai, paremti teismų praktikos ir bylų analize. Pabaigoje autorė daro išvadą, kad viešosios tvarkos ir moralės apibrėžimas yra reliatyvus ir priklauso nuo daugelio veiksnių, tokių kaip valstybinė ir visuomeninė santvarka, teisės tradicija, papročiai, religija, civilizacijos ir kultūros lygis, šalyje vykstantys įvykiai, visuomenės požiūris, socialinė ir dvasinė aplinka, ir apibendrinamos prekių ženklų vertinimo gairės ir...

The thesis consists of two parts, the first of which presents various concepts and theories concerning the terms “public order” and “morality”, cohesion between these two terms, and the relationship between law and morals, as well as evaluates the relationship between the protection of public order and morality and the freedom of expression. The second section focuses on the practise of international, European Union and national authorities examining cases regarding refusal to register a mark contrary to public order and morality. Furthermore, in the final part of the paper the author reveals the main guidelines and criteria for trade mark examination. The purpose of this study is to reveal the diversity of concepts of public order and morality and the dependence of their content on many factors, as well as to evaluate the relationship between the protection of public order and morality and the freedom of expression, and to determine the main guidelines and criteria for trademark examination. Thus, by achieving these goals, the thesis provides theoretical arguments backed up by case law and case study. Finally, it is concluded that the definition of public order and morality is relative and depends on many factors, such as political system and social order, legal tradition, customs, religion, civilization and...
