In the northern South Island, the area northern Te Wai Pounamu (NTWP) is defined appropriate to a regional investigation of pre-European culture change. It is argued that the Maori sequence of this region is relevant to a range of interpretative problems in New Zealand�s archaeological past. Preparatory to this investigation, the international and New Zealand literature on culture change is reviewed. Two primary investigative foci of change are identified in NTWP; subsistence economy and stone tool manufacturing technology. A chronological scheme of Early, Middle and Late Periods based on firmly dated ecological events and/or independent radiocarbon ages is defined so as to order the archaeological data without recourse to unproven scenarios of cultural change and association. The Early Period subsistence economy is assessed in some detail. An Early Period settlement focus is documented along the eastern Tasman Bay coast in proximity to meta-argillite sources. Early Period midden remains suggest that several genera of seal and moa were exploited, and that people were fishing in eastern Tasman Bay during the warmer months of the year. From the Early Period fishhook assemblages of Tasman Bay, manufacturing change is inferred related to the increasing scarcity of moa bone over time. It is argued that lower Early Period settlement of the larger northern South Island was focused on the north-eastern coast to Rangitoto (D�Urville Island), while NTWP was characterized by smaller stone working communities operating in summer. In contrast, moa-free middens in Awaroa Inlet and Bark Bay of the western Tasman Bay granite coast present a physical dominance of Paphies australis, and finfish species suggesting, along with the dearth of Austrovenus stutchburyi, occupation outside of the warmer summer months. These middens also present an absence of seal and a paucity of bird bone, while sharing a robust 15th-16th centuries AD radiocarbon chronology. With the dearth of all bird species from granite coast middens in general, and evidence that the less preferred kokako (Callaeas c. cinerea) was caught during the occupation of Awaroa Inlet N26/214, it is suggested that cultural regulations beyond immediate subsistence needs were also operating at this time. From southern Tasman Bay, the archaeological investigation of the important Appleby site N27/118 suggests that the people associated with the extensive horticultural soils of Waimea West otherwise consumed finfish and estuarine shellfish in (non-summer) season, kiore (Rattus exulans), dog or kuri (Canis familiaris), and several small evidence of Maori tradition, archaeological charcoal, and the approximately 16th century radiocarbon chronology for N27/118 and the associated Appleby gravel borrow pit N27/122 places the advent of extensive Waimea horticulture within the post-moa, lower Middle Period Maori economy. The Haulashore Island archaeological assemblage of south-eastern Tasman Bay with a similar material culture to Appleby is also bereft of seal and any diagnostic moa bone. This Middle Period evidence is considered in a larger comparative perspective, where the absence of seal from 15th-16th centuries Tasman Bay middens is interpreted as a factor of human predation. A secure radiocarbon chronology suggests the convergence of this loss with the diminishment and loss of selected avifauna, and the subsequent advent of large horticultural complexes in the northern South Island compensated for the loss of faunal calories in a seasonally economy and a managed ecology. The evidence of stone tool use is also reviewed in some detail for NTWP, following the definition of an adze typology appropriate to the classification of meta-argillite tools. It is clear that meta-argillite is the dominant material of adze and (non-adze) flake tool manufacture throughout the Maori sequence of NTWP, while granite coast quartz remains generally subdominant. Beyound the apparent loss of the laterally-hafted adze, the evidence of adze change is generally subdominant. Beyond the apparent loss of the laterally-hafted adze, the evidence of adze change is generally reflected in shifting typological proportions, and in new manufacturing technologies and dressing techniques. Functional change may be inferred in the loss over time of large meta-argillite points and blade tools associated respectively with the manufacture of one-piece moa bone fishhooks and moa and seal butchery. The exclusive identification of hammer-dressed adzes with hump backs and steep bevels in Middle Period assemblages is related to the advent of horticultural intensification. More generally, adzes of the upper Early and Middle Periods are increasingly characterized by round sections, while hammer-dressing is employed more frequently and extensively reduced from riverine meta-argillite and recycled banks. Collectively, these changes reflect a developing emphasis on economy and opportunistic exploitation. From this interpretation, and evidence that meta-argillite adze length and the size of high quality Ohana source flakes diminish over time, it is suggested that accessible, high quality and appropriately shaped meta-argillite rock became increasingly scarce through intensive quarry manufacture. In conclusion, the coincidence of diminishing rock and faunal resources over time is related in a speculative anthropological model of culture change. It is proposed that the 14th-16th centuries Maori economy of NTWP, and by implication and inference, many other regions of New Zealand, was characterized by a resource crisis which either precipitated or reinforced a broader trajectory of culture change. It is suggested that influential leadears perceived a linkage in the loss of high quality rock and important subsistence fauna at this time, and that distinctive technologies, institutions and ideologies of Middle Period Maori society were influenced by, and/or developed from, this perception. Finally, it is recommended that the data of an archaeological Maori culture sequence be ordered and tested within a radiocarbon based chronological scheme, rather than the still generally used model of �Archaic� and �Classic� cultural periods. It is also suggested that New Zealand archaeologists should look beyond the functional-ecological imperative to consider more holistic anthropological explanations of change in the pre-European Maori past, with a focus on integrated regional sequences.

Conflict exists in all health care settings across the world. In a profession such as nursing, where there is constant interaction among staff, conflict is a common and often unavoidable challenge. Conflict represents a state where two parties have differing views on issues considered important to each of them. There are various forms of conflict such as intrapersonal, interpersonal, inter-group and/or inter-organisational conflict. While not all conflict can be managed or requires the need to be managed, learning how to manage it, may reduce the chances of it recurring or producing negative consequences. The inappropriate management of conflict has been reported to contribute to decreased productivity, poor morale and financial loss in and for healthcare organisations. The goal of this study was to make recommendations regarding how to optimise conflict management by Nurse Unit Managers (NUMs). A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research study was conducted to explore and describe the ability of NUMs to manage conflict in the nursing units of the Nelson Mandela Bay public hospitals. NUMs working in the three (3) public hospitals of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality situated in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa were interviewed using unstructured individual interviews to collect meaningful data on how the NUMs would manage conflict based on a conflict scenario presented to them. Data was directly collected from the participants. The researcher developed a conflict scenario and the model answer in consultation with experts in both nursing management and human resource management. This was done to relate the responses and themes from the data collected with what literature suggest as the appropriate management of conflict. Tesch’s method of thematic synthesis was utilised to analyse this data. Recommendations were developed for nursing practice, nursing education and nursing research. Data was collected from eleven NUMs with each of the participating hospitals represented in the interviews. Unstructured interviews were conducted. The unstructured interview consisted of one central question and probing questions. This was done for all the interviews until data saturation was reached. The data collected was then transcribed and coded yielding the themes and sub-themes for this study. The model answer was then used to gauge the responses of the participants in comparison to what literature suggests regarding effective conflict resolution and management. The three themes that emerged from the data were Nurse Unit Managers managed the conflict in an appropriate manner, Nurse Unit Managers avoided the conflict and Nurse Unit managers did not apply the accepted process to manage the conflict. Thereafter the ability of NUMs to manage conflict in a nursing unit was described based on the findings. The researcher ensured trustworthiness by using Guba and Lincoln’s criteria, namely credibility, dependability, conformability, transferability. The participants’ rights and dignity were protected and the integrity of the study safeguarded by complying with the following ethical principles: autonomy, beneficence and non-maleficence, justice, privacy and confidentiality as well as authenticity. The limitations of the study were that only NUMs from the general hospitals in the public sector participated in the study and therefore the ability of NUMs in other types of hospitals and the private sector are not known. Other levels of nursing management were not included in the study. The findings in this study could be integrated into the orientation, training and preparation of nurse managers by health care organisations and educational institutions as well as Human Resource Management practices.

O corpus de análise abrange discursos de naturezas diversas. Busca-se tornar evidente como se dimensiona, na letra do autor, a visão de uma hierarquia contemplando variadas manifestações do sentimento amoroso. Muito especialmente, é destacada a noção de que a modernidade impõe uma "queda" ao amor caritativo, situado no ponto mais elevado da hierarquia. A peça "O Beijo no Asfalto" constitui o centro de toda a reflexão, pois ali é dimensionado um instante epifânico, em que se manifesta a forma de amor mais "pura". Todavia, algumas cartas extraídas do livro "Não se pode amar e ser feliz ao mesmo tempo" e assinadas com o pseudônimo Myrna oferecem, ao olhar analítico, uma qualificação mais detalhada do amor cristão e do modo como ele foi simultaneamente idealizado e ironizado por Nelson Rodrigues. Em síntese, o intuito é contribuir com a fortuna crítica do autor, a partir da Erótica por ele formulada / Universidade Federal da Bahia. Instituto de Letras. Salvador-Ba, 2010.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Esta dissertação em História Política da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), inserida na linha de pesquisa Política e Cultura é um estudo sobre a historiografia brasileira tendo como elemento central a contribuição teórica do militar do Exército Brasileiro e historiador Nelson Werneck Sodré, no tocante a modernidade (ou melhor, o desenvolvimento) no Brasil. A sua obra notabiliza-se pela necessidade de modificar as estruturas políticas, sociais e econômicas do país, construídas ao longo de sua formação histórica, marcado pelo alinhamento das classes dominantes com o centro hegemônico, a sua intensa relação com o mercado externo e o seu mutualismo com o capital internacional. Escreveu extensa obra teoricamente fundamentada no marxismo-leninista, no afã de superar as forças tradicionais, que em sua visão impediam o avanço do país na constituição de uma nação, dificultando uma política de industrialização independente, em contraposição a setores progressistas da sociedade brasileira. Através da concepção dialética, do choque entre os opostos, no caso, o novo e o velho, no qual o primeiro era a Revolução Brasileira e a sua antítese, o segundo, as forças da tradição: o latifúndio e o imperialismo. Em nossa pesquisa também focamos a crise da Revolução Brasileira, com a instauração da ditadura, após o golpe de 1964, que culminou com a derrota de um projeto de nação de toda uma geração. Por fim observamos o intenso debate político-historiográfico que a obra de Werneck Sodré foi submetida, além do seu posicionamento. / This dissertation in Political History of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), inserted in the line of research Politics and Culture is a study on the Brazilian history taking as a central theoretical contribution to the Brazilian Army and military historian Nelson Werneck Sodré, regarding modernity (or rather, development) in Brazil. His work is noted for the need to change the political, social and economic conditions of the country, built along its historical formation, marked by the alignment of the ruling classes with the hegemonic center, his intense relationship with foreign markets and their mutualistic with international capital. Wrote extensive works theoretically grounded in Marxism-Leninism, the desire to overcome the traditional forces, which in their view impeded the advancement of the country in the constitution of a nation, making a policy of industrialization independent, as opposed to progressive sectors of Brazilian society. Through the dialectic, the clash between opposites, in this case, the "new" and "old", in which the first was the "Brazilian Revolution" and its antithesis, the second, the forces of tradition: landlordism and imperialism. In our research we also focus the Brazilian crisis of the Revolution, with the establishment of the dictatorship after the 1964 coup, which culminated in the defeat of a national project of an entire generation. Finally observe the intense political debate that the historiographical work of Werneck Sodré was submitted, in addition to its positioning.
