nÃo hà / The aim of this work is investigate the presence of Marshal-Lerner condition (CML) and the J curve for categories of use of goods and services. To do this, will be used two methodologies: a Johansenâs cointegration test, to analyze the long run effects, and an Impulse Response Function, to obtain the short run impacts. The novelty of this work is the concern with sectorial analyses of trade balance and their impacts due changes in exchange rates. Four categories will be studied: durable goods, non-durable goods, intermediate goods and capital goods. The results appointed that the CML is accepted for all goods. About the J curve, only durable and non-durable goods showed adjustment problems. / Este trabalho tem o objetivo de investigar a presenÃa da condiÃÃo de Marshall-Lerner (CML) e da curva J para as categorias de uso dos bens e serviÃos. Para tanto, foi realizado um teste de cointegraÃÃo de Johansen com fito de verificar a existÃncia de relaÃÃes de longo prazo positivas sobre a balanÃa comercial desses bens na presenÃa de uma desvalorizaÃÃo cambial. Para a curva J, foi estimado as funÃÃes impulso resposta e se valeu das relaÃÃes de curto prazo entre as variÃveis. A grande novidade deste trabalho està na consideraÃÃo de impactos setoriais sobre a balanÃa comercial devido a variaÃÃes na taxa de cÃmbio real regional. Quatro categorias de bens foram analisadas segundo sua utilizaÃÃo: bens de consumo durÃvel, bens de consumo nÃo durÃvel, bens intermediÃrios e bens de capital. Dos resultados, foi constatado que a CML à vÃlida para todos os tipos de bens. E a curva J à verificada para bens de consumo durÃvel e nÃo durÃvel.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the operational equipment in current use at the Marshall Pottery Company and make a comparison of this equipment and modern, up-to-date equipment available and in use by other manufacturers. An attempt was made to formulate a long-range plan for developing and modernizing basic production processes and facilities at the Marshall Pottery Company.

The purpose of this study is to show the development of the motion picture program as a teaching aid in South Marshall School, Marshall, Texas, to determine the value of the motion pictures in the social-studies program, with special emphasis upon learning and retention of facts and general information at the third- and sixth-grade levels, and to induce all teachers of the faculty to use the motion picture as a tool for a happier and more meaningful learning experience for boys and girls.

Le genre du super-héros s’impose de plus en plus dans l’imaginaire populaire. Les fictions de ce type suscitent l’intérêt des savants en raison de leur façon de véhiculer l’idéologie à travers des situations fantastiques. Les diverses manifestations du genre abordent implicitement ou explicitement des thèmes dont il est également question dans les discours religieux contemporains : autonomie et théonomie en éthique ; sacralité des hiérarchies, de l’environnement, des relations, de l’âme et du corps ; cosmogonie et eschatologie ; etc. Pour ne pas traiter à tort et à travers de l’enchevêtrement des univers religieux et fantastiques, il importe d’aborder cette convergence sous plusieurs angles susceptibles d’en faire ressortir les sens sans lui imposer de cohérence réductrice. Dans cet optique, une herméneutique pluraliste basée sur les perspectives interprétatives de Marshall et Eric McLuhan est tout indiquée. La méthode McLuhan propose trois angles d’approche, trois rapports d’altération entre culture de l’imaginaire et religieux contemporain : le super-héros critique, récupère et déconstruit les récits, discours et autres réalités du religieux. Puisque le temps et l’espace consacré à l’étude sont restreints par des considérations pratiques, son échantillon est limité aux « comic books » de super-héros des trente dernières années, à leurs produits dérivés et à la littérature savante qui s’y réfère.

With a deep conviction that this study will be useful to those who would better understand contemporary foreign policy, "The Legislative Origins of the Marshall Plan" is written with the following purposes: (1) to discover the origin and motives of the Marshall plan, (2) to discover the effect of the world-wide tours made by Congressmen in 1947 upon the legislative processes in the Marshall plan, (3) to compare and evaluate the respective contributions of the two houses of Congress to the Marshall plan, (4) to ascertain whether the Marshall plan is an economic, political, or humanitarian instrument, and (5) to evaluate the domestic effects, both governmental and economic, and to project them into the future.

In this dissertation, I take seriously Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assertion that even though non-indigenous peoples in America "may have come over on different ships," they are all, in spite of and in the face of their particular ethnic, racial, gender, class, tribal, or national identities, nevertheless together "in the same boat now." In particular, in this project I reconstruct and reinterpret the process of migration, assimilation, and the realization of full sociopolitical participation in the United States in terms of the relationship between peoples of African descent--who were compelled to migrate as slaves across the Middle Passage, and who also voluntarily immigrated from various localities within the Black Atlantic--and select groups of immigrants from other locations around the globe. In my thesis, I concentrate on novels by William Faulkner, Paule Marshall, James Baldwin, Gayl Jones, and cartoonist Chris Ware, and examine closely how these authors, in their respective texts, work to restructure, reimagine, and thereby challenge the enshrined American narratives of national belonging and acculturation through literary constructions of the identities and experiences of peoples of African descent, as migrants themselves, in tandem with their social, political, economic, sexual, racial, and cultural engagements with other immigrants to the nation-state. In the introduction to my text, I survey and carefully synthesize diverse literary, historical, sociological, postcolonial, and feminist approaches to and theories of the problems of race, immigration, and nationalization, and formulate a new critical interdisciplinary framework for the mutual (de)construction of peoples of African descent as immigrants among immigrants in America.

Med bakgrund att det sker en hög befolkningstillväxt i Stockholm väcktes intresset för fenomenet urbanisering. Syftet för denna kvalitativa undersökning är att utifrån individens upplevelse fördjupa förståelsen i vad som lockar och driver individer till storstaden och hur storstadslivet ter sig. Vald metodansats är hermeneutik vilket ger möjlighet att genom tolkning nå en ökad förståelse. Teoretisk ram utgörs av Georg Simmel och Marshall Berman. Datainsamling har skett i form av intervjuer med fem deltagare som flyttat till Stockholm. Deltagarna delgav sin upplevelse av flytten samt livet i storstaden. Analysen som bestod av tre steg; primär tolkning, strukturanalys och huvudtolkning visade att upplevelsen av livet i storstaden var överlag positiv då Stockholm beskrevs som händelsernas centrum och en livfull plats, fylld av valmöjligheter. Negativa aspekter som framkom var bostadsproblematik och långa avstånd inom staden. Anledningen att ha flyttat till Stockholm låg i arbete och ut-bildning, men att ha redan etablerade kontakter och relationer i staden var nödvändigt för att flytten skulle bli av. En diskussion om den moderna människan i storstaden ledde fram till slutsatsen att livet i Stockholm aldrig blir fullbordat och totalt.
