The study was accomplished in the years of 2003/2004 and it unmasks the forms of urban land occupation, starting from its historical and spacial context and also the importance of the river in the construction of the city. At the end of the research it is noticed that the general population, loses their circulation rights for there to be appropriate areas for hotels, shipyards, private ports and closed condominiums restricted use, besides having access to the river limited to the Ponta Negra beach, as well as Compensa and São Raimundo neighborhoods. The accomplishment of the study matters, as long as the analysis of the urban production in the Amazon, and the reflection concerning the occupation history and the landscape characteristics of the city which is in the middle of the jungle and bordered by two great rivers, are possible. That presupposes the understanding of the society and the nature roles in the construction of the urban space. / A compreensão do rio e a cidade na Amazônia traz o enfoque da relação homem e natureza, partindo-se da análise da ocupação da área oeste de Manaus, banhada pelo rio Negro, compreendendo o perímetro da foz do igarapé do São Raimundo até a foz do rio Tarumã, alicerçando-se na perspectiva Lefebvreana. O estudo foi realizado nos anos de 2003/2004 e desvenda as formas de ocupação da terra urbana, a partir de seu contexto histórico e espacial e da importância do rio na construção da cidade. Ao término da pesquisa nota-se que a população em geral, além de ter o acesso ao rio limitado à praia da Ponta Negra, e ao bairro da Compensa e bairro do São Raimundo, perde o direito a circulação por estas serem áreas apropriadas para o uso restrito de hotéis, estaleiros, portos privados e condomínios fechados. Importa a realização do estudo enquanto possibilidade de análise da produção do urbano na Amazônia, enquanto reflexão acerca da história de ocupação e características paisagísticas da cidade que está em meio a selva e margeada por dois grandes rios, o que pressupõe compreender o papel da sociedade e da natureza na construção do espaço urbano.

Application of the international law of occupation in situations of a long-term occupation Abstract The topic of the master thesis is an analysis of the application of the international law of occupation in a situation of a long-term occupation, i.e. an occupation which spreads over years or decades. The aim of the thesis is to critically assess whether the current legal framework, i.e. the law of occupation as a part of the international humanitarian law, corresponds to the specific conditions of a long-term occupation, with regard to fulfilling the objectives of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, or not. The first part anchors the law of occupation within the legal framework, i.e. within international humanitarian law, introduces the concept of occupation and long-term occupation and outlines the responsibilities of the occupation power under the law of occupation. One chapter focuses specifically on the role of international human rights law in the armed conflicts. The core of the thesis identifies the challenges the international law of occupation is currently facing. The assessment shows that the occupation law does not reflect the specific circumstances and conditions of a long-term occupation, especially with respect to the needs of occupied population, and does not...

Magister Scientiae (Occupational Therapy) - MSc(OT) / Occupation-based hand therapy (OBHT) is an approach to practice that integrates multiple frames of reference while remaining rooted in an occupational therapy perspective. Hand function is important for participation in daily occupations. The current focus in assessment and treatment of clients in occupational therapy remains on body structure and function which is also true in South Africa. The gap in the literature about the effects of OBHT indicates that there is a need for a study in a South African context. This research was conducted to examine the influences of an OBHT among clients with hand injuries within occupational therapy practice in a South African context.

Studies of American Indian protest rhetoric often define American Indian opposition either by its resistance or its conformity to non-Native institutional discursive norms, suggesting that only one of the two can be considered authentic to American Indian cultures and identities. Addressing this debate, this thesis examines an instance of Native opposition which successfully blends the two approaches: Russell Means' 1989 statement to the United States Senate. Means employs the mode of story to effectively shift discursive authority from the Senate committee members to pan-Indigenous peoples. I call this shift rhetorical occupation, or the appropriation of rhetorical space. Through rhetorical occupation, Means displaces the dominant narrative of governmental power with his own story, drawing on Lakota storytelling practices and both complying with and resisting white Euro-American forms of persuasion. This analysis suggests that rather than defining a broad category of culturally authentic American Indian opposition rhetoric, scholars should consider how Native opposition rhetorics reflect distinct tribal rhetorical traditions and take unique approaches to navigating non-Native discursive norms.

This investigation explored relationships between four determinants of first-semester undergraduate academic achievement derived from Holland's (1973) theory of vocational development. Groups of 438 male and 468 female students completed the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory and were categorized in terms of congruency, consistency, differentiation, and modal personality type. Undergraduates with congruent college-major choices enjoyed greater academic success than students with incongruent choices. Students with high- and low-consistency personal orientation codes outperformed students with moderately consistent codes. Freshman with clearly differentiated personality profiles outperformed students with nondifferentiated profiles. The order of mean gradepoint averages for the modal personality types was not significantly correlated with Holland's predicted ordering.

Depression och ångestsyndrom hör till de vanligaste psykiska sjukdomarna och medför stora aktivitetsbegränsningar inom arbete, fritid och personlig vård. Trots det finns det få litteraturstudier om arbetsterapeutiska interventioner för denna målgrupp. Syftet var att beskriva arbetsterapeutiska interventioner för vuxna personer med depression eller ångestsyndrom. En systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes i Pubmed, PsycInfo, Scopus och Cinahl. Arton artiklar inkluderades. Artiklarna analyserades med stöd av Friberg (2012). Tre huvudteman identifierades: 1) Att hjälpa klienterna få ökad insikt om sin livssituation, 2) Att lära klienten hantera och förebygga symtom och 3) Aktivitet som medel i interventionen. Resultatet har betydelse för hur arbetsterapeuter kan välja, kommunicera och genomföra interventioner samt för framtida forskning. Betydelsen av val av behandlingsstrategier i interventionerna diskuterades också. / Depression and anxiety disorders are among the most common mental disorders and lead to serious activity limitations in work, leisure and self-care.  In spite of this, there are few systematic reviews on occupational therapy interventions for this client group. The study aim was to describe occupational therapy interventions for adults with depression or anxiety disorders. A systematic review was conducted in Pubmed, PsycInfo, Scopus and Cinahl. Eighteen articles were included. The articles were analyzed in accordance with Friberg (2012). Three main themes were identified: 1) To help clients gain insight into their life situation, 2) To teach clients how to manage and prevent symptoms, and 3) Occupation as means in the intervention. The findings have implications for how therapists can choose, communicate and carry out interventions as well as for future research. The importance of therapeutic strategies in the interventions was also discussed.

en français: Occupations et logiques policières La police communale de Bruxelles pendant les Première et Deuxième Guerres mondiales (1914-1918 et 1940-1944) En tant que pays occupé pendant les deux conflits mondiaux, la Belgique s’avère être un laboratoire pour étudier le phénomène des occupations pendant le XXe siècle. Pour la bureaucratie étatique, ces occupations posent la question de leur positionnement face à une dissociation entre Etat et Nation. La comparaison diachronique de la police communale de Bruxelles – à travers l’angle organisationnel et à travers sa pratique dans l’espace social – a permis de dégager plusieurs thèses. Le développement des appareils administratifs a pris de telles dimensions dans le XIXe siècle que l’occupant est obligé de trouver un modus vivendi avec les institutions existant sur les territoires occupés, lui-même étant incapable de gérer seul les pays sous son contrôle. Cette constellation donne une marge de manœuvres importante à la police locale, l’institution qui fait l’objet de notre étude. Pendant les deux guerres, la police est soumise à un processus de réformes visant à améliorer son fonctionnement : centralisation du commandement, spécialisation d’unités, élargissement géographie des compétences d’intervention… Ces changements s’inspirent d’une part d’idées ambiantes en Belgique et d’autre part de projets réalisés en Allemagne dans les deux périodes procédant la guerre. L’intégration de l’appareil policier communal à l’intérieur d’un régime d’occupation est facilitée par le professionnalisme de celui-ci qui contraste fortement avec la pratique des polices auxiliaires pour lesquelles l’ordre patriotique et/ou idéologique peut prendre le dessus sur le ‘maintien d’ordre classique’. Cette prédominance professionnalisante explique la continuité du fonctionnement de l’institution qui poursuit ses tâches entre 1914-1918 et 1940-1944. En m’inspirant des travaux de l’historien allemand Alf Lüdtke et du sociologues français Dominique Montjardet, j’ai essayé de questionner trois postulats sous-jacents dans l’historiographie : - la police comme simple instrument - la pratique policière comme une relation essentiellement unilatérale entre dominant (police) et dominé (population) - une lecture ‘nationale’ de l’occupation qui est fondamentalement réduite à deux options : collaboration ou résistance La pratique de l’institution sous occupation ne se laisse pas réduire à ces cadres. La police se définit par son caractère discrétionnaire qu’elle maintient pendant la guerre. Comme en temps de paix, son mode d’interaction avec la population est celui de la négociation, même si sa position de force ne doit pas être sous-estimée. Finalement, sa pratique se déroule essentiellement en dehors du couple collaboration-résistance qui, dans son travail quotidien, ne joue qu’un rôle négligent. D’autres logiques, notamment policières, se montrent plus déterminants. en anglais: German Occupation and the Logic of Police Actions The Brussels communal police forces during the First and Second World Wars (1914-1918 and 1940-1944) As a country that has been occupied during the two global conflicts, Belgium proves to be a laboratory for the study of the phenomenon of occupations during the 20th century. The State bureaucracy has to define a position at a moment when State and Nation are dissociated. The diachronic comparative study of the local police of Brussels – through its organizational structures and through its social practices – has made it possible to propose a number of theories. The development of administrations in de 19th century has been so important that the occupier is forced to find a modus-vivendi with the existing institutions in the occupied territories because he is unable to govern these countries by himself. This gives the local police forces, the object of our study, an important manoeuvering space. During the two wars, the police forces were submitted to a process of reforms aiming at improving their working: centralization of command, specialization, widening the geographical scope of their interventions… These changes were partly inspired by ideas expressed in Belgium and partly by projects realized in Germany before the wars. The integration of the police forces in an occupation regime was encouraged by their professionalism, which contrasted strongly with the practices of auxiliary police forces for which the patriotic and/or ideological order often prevailed on the classic keeping of order. This professional dominance explains the continuity of the institution that carried out these tasks between 1914-1918 and 1940-1944. Inspired by the works of the German historian Alf Lüdtke and the French sociologist Dominique Montjardet, I have tried to question three premises in the historiography: - the police forces are a mere instrument - the police’s practices as a mainly unilateral relation between a dominant factor (police) and a domineered one (population) - a ‘national’ reading of the occupation which is reduced to two options: collaboration or resistance. The practices of the institution cannot be limited to these frameworks. The police is characterised by its discretionary quality, which it maintained during the war. Similar to its working in peacetime, its mode of interaction with the population is one of negotiation, even if its position of power must not be underestimated. Finally, its practices mainly take place outside the frame collaboration-resistance, which played a minor role in its day-to-day work. Other logics, namely those of the institutions, proved to be more decisive.

This study determines the impact of ESTA on estate planning. The researcher indicates the extent to which ESTA alters the traditional property concept and analyses the practical implications of ESTA on estate planning. It appears, from the research that the traditional property concept has developed to include rights in property which are inferior to traditional ownership. The land reform process creates new rights which are afforded constitutional protection. These new rights create tension between land owners' perception of what their ownership entails, and the reality. The writer attempts to indicate that estate planning may minimize the possible disadvantages of ESTA. / Thesis (LL.M. (Estate Law))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

The problem with which this investigation is concerned is that of examining the association between personality as measured by a standard scale and the extent of projection in a social perception role projection task. The investigation assumes that perceptions regarding environment are systematically related to choice behavior. In this regard, the research examines those specific dimensions of personality that facilitate or inhibit social perception. Chapter I presents an introduction to the problem. Additionally, the background of the problem, purpose of the study, the hypotheses, the limits of the study, and the assumptions are given. Chapter II is the methodology. The nature of the subjects, the procedure, the research instrument and the methodological steps used for analysis of data are explained. Results of the investigation are given in Chapter III, while Chapter IV presents a discussion of the results, including the conclusions, implications of the study, and suggestions for further research.
