This thesis explores the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Entrepreneurial Passion. It specifically does this by attempting to find a correlation between the varying competencies of Emotional Intelligence and the consciously accessible, Intense positive feelings for Entrepreneurial Passion for Developing, Founding and Inventing. In this study, survey data was used to investigate the above correlation among a group of 66 entrepreneurs in a Stockholm tech-based start-up/co-working hub setting. This was completed through the quantitative analytical statistical method of Spearman correlation and other methods. Through a theoretical framework utilizing self-regulation theory, the author found that there is a positive, statistically significant correlation between Emotional Intelligence and the consciously accessible, Intense positive feelings of Entrepreneurial Passion and their three domains (Founding, Developing and Inventing). Theoretical and entrepreneurial implications and further suggestions for future research conclude the thesis. / Denna uppsats undersöker förhållandet mellan Känslans intelligens och entreprenörspassion. Den gör det specifikt genom att försöka hitta en korrelation mellan de olika kompetenserna i Känslans intelligens och de medvetet tillgängliga, intensiva positiva känslorna för entreprenörspassion för att utveckla, grunda och uppfinna. I denna studie användes undersökningsdata för att undersöka ovanstående korrelation mellan en grupp av 66 företagare i en Stockholm-baserad teknik för start-up / co-working hub. Detta genomfördes med en kvantitativt statistisk analys och applikation av metoden för Spearman-korrelation och andra metoder. Genom ett teoretiskt ramverk som använder självregleringsteori fann författaren att det fanns en positiv, statistiskt signifikant korrelation mellan Känslans intelligens och de medvetet tillgängliga, intensiva positiva känslorna av entreprenörspassion och deras tre domäner (grunda, utveckla och uppfinna).

The thesis elaborates upon a question which literary techniques Jeanette Winterson applies in her novels The Passion and Written on the Body to portray queer body. The thesis conceptualizes queer body as crystallizing in discontinuous relationships between the categories of sex, gender identity and compulsory heterosexuality within Butlerian heterosexual matrix. The possibility of discontinuous relationships between them - gender disorder - is realised in the act of beholding queer body. Conceptualization of queer body embedded within the Butlerian heterosexual matrix has not been elaborated upon in the full scope of Jeanette Winterson's work. Literary criticism deals with the body in Written on the Body, not, however, in the context of Butlerian model of heterosexual matrix. Articulation of queer body is realized by deconstructive techniques of Jeanette Winterson's writing. These are comprised in the motifs of mirroring in The Passion and palimpsest in Written on the Body. Ontological anxiety in The Passion brings queer body. Magic realism in the novel gives queer body magical skills which make gender disorder possible. Queer body is abject in the novel. In Written on the Body genderless narrator describes queer body as his/her body. It is an adorable and morbid body. The queer body in this novel...

A qualitative investigation was conducted to explore the characteristics of high quality teachers. This study used a phenomenological methodology, enabling the researcher to gather information from a purposeful selection of people directly identified as high quality teachers by their principals. This study employed processes of data collection commonly used in observational analysis and included the use of interviews found in qualitative design. The researcher was able to extract meaning using the coding process and the constant comparative method. Information was sorted into themes that supported and aligned with the research questions leading to a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. This was accomplished through thorough analysis of interviews and observations. Teacher participants were asked to participate in an interview prior to the classroom observation, be observed in the classroom, and participate in a post observation interview. Additionally, individual interviews were conducted with the principals of the teacher participants. The quality of data sources led to the triangulation of results giving credibility to the study. The study findings were conclusive regarding the key characteristics of high quality teaching. There was a clear relationship between high quality teaching and the use of a variety of instructional strategies, the ability to engage students in learning, the use of higher order questioning as a prevalent teaching strategy, the establishment of clear classroom expectations and the maintenance of those expectations, clear and deliberate communication to facilitate home and school partnerships, and a high level of passion for content and the profession of teaching. Other emerging themes may be utilized to connect high quality teaching to additional characteristics. These characteristics offer suggestions for further research to determine how strong the correlation is between high quality teaching and these themes. The themes included having a caring disposition, high expectations, being self-reflective, having content knowledge, being a team player, and having a strong work ethic. The research findings were evidenced and supported by a thorough literature review, the results of principal and teacher participant interviews, the results of classroom observations of teacher participants, and document analysis. The researcher also specified recommendations for future practice and suggestions for future research. The results from this study contribute to the body of knowledge on the exploration of the characteristics of high quality teachers.

This thesis examines the concepts of Sacrifice, Atonement, and Passion in the context of the Early Christian Johannine Tradition. Specifically, the study examines the relationship between John 10:11–18, that is, the pericope of the Good Shepherd, and John 18–19, that is, the Johannine Passion Narrative: with special focus on the theme of Jesus' death and its connection to the Maccabean martyr traditions and the Levitical cult respectively. The conclusion of the thesis is that John 10:11–18 specifically speaks of Jesus' death as a martyrological death, with parallels to the atoning deaths of the Maccabean martyrs. However, this does not imply that the death of Jesus in the Gospel of John is to be interpreted exclusively as a martyrological death. As for John 10:11–18, it seems to mainly speak of Jesus' death in martyrological terms, but undoubtedly, there are several instances in the Johannine Corpus that on the other hand seem to speak of Jesus' death in cultic terms, especially with regards to the theme of the Lamb of God in John 1:29. The aforementioned conclusion of the thesis constitutes a mediating contribution to the scholarly debate regarding the exact nature of Jesus' death in the Gospel of John, in that it speaks of Jesus' death as an atoning martyrological sacrifice – the sacrifice being the mediating factor between the two interpretive traditions.

Dans ce mémoire, nous avons voulu répondre, en nous référant à K. Rahner, F.-X. Durrwell et H. U. von Balthasar, à la question suivante: Pourquoi le Christ devait-il faire l'expérience de la mort pour accomplir notre salut? L'analyse ainsi que la synthèse des interprétations de chacun de ces auteurs, ont été élaborées en trois étapes: 1- La mort du Christ considérée dans sa réalité existentielle; 2- La mort du Christ, traduction humaine ultime de son être filial divin; 3- La signification salvifique de la mort du Christ. Cette étude nous a permis d'élaborer la synthèse suivante: En assumant, dans son obéissance filiale, l'expérience de la mort entendue non seulement comme accomplissement de la vie humaine dans l'expérience du vide de la fin corporelle, mais aussi comme solidarité psychique avec le destin eschatologique des pécheurs non rachetés, le Christ a accompli pour nous en sa personne le jugement divin sur le péché du monde, qu'impliquait notre réconciliation avec Dieu. Désormais ressuscité d'entre les morts, il peut, dans l'acte d'amour absolu que fut sa mort - et en lequel il est fixé éternellement -, se communiquer à tous les êtres humains pour qu'ils puissent, en lui, échapper au jugement et avoir de nouveau accès à la vie de Dieu.

Объектом исследования явилась удовлетворенность браком. Предметом исследования стала связь удовлетворенности браком с чертами личности и особенностями привязанности. Магистерская диссертация состоит из введения, двух глав, заключения, списка литературы (53 источника) и приложений. Объем магистерской диссертации 83 страницы, на которых размещены 5 рисунков и 8 таблиц. В первой главе рассмотрены теоретические основы исследования. Во второй главе описываются методы и процедура исследования, его результаты. Эмпирическое исследование проводилось с использованием следующих методик: опросник удовлетворенности браком В.В. Столина, Т.Л. Романовой, Г.П. Бутенко, опросник стиля привязанности (ASQ) J. Feeney, триангулярная шкала любви Стернберга (STLS); личностный опросник Г. Айзенка (EPI/A). Выборка включала 83 человека в возрасте старше 18 лет, из них 58 женщин и 25 мужчин. Все участники состоят в браке. Мы предполагали, что черты личности и особенности привязанности к партнеру связаны с удовлетворённостью браком и между собой. Выявлено, что большая часть испытуемых удовлетворены браком. Исследование по методике «Стиль привязанности» показал, что большая часть испытуемых уверены в себе и своем партнере. В ходе корреляционного анализа с использованием критерия Спирмена было установлено, что удовлетворенность браком связана с привязанностью к партнеру и такими компонентами любви как близость и обязательство. А также мы увидели взаимосвязь привязанности к партнеру с такими чертами личности как экстраверсия и нейротизм. / The object of the study was satisfaction with marriage. The subject of the study was the relationship between satisfaction with marriage and personality traits and attachment characteristics. The master's thesis consists of an introduction, two chapters, a conclusion, a list of references (53 sources) and appendices. The volume of the master's thesis is 83 pages, which contain 5 figures and 8 tables. The first chapter discusses the theoretical foundations of the study. The second chapter describes the methods and procedure of the study, its results. The empirical study was conducted using the following methods: V.V. Stolin, T.L. Romanova, G.P. Butenko marriage satisfaction questionnaire, J. Feeney Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ), Sternberg triangular scale of Love (STLS); G. Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPI/A). The sample included 83 people over the age of 18 (58 of them women and 25 men). All participants are married. We assumed that personality traits and characteristics of attachment to a partner are associated with satisfaction with marriage and with each other. It was revealed that most of the subjects were satisfied with the marriage. A study using the "Attachment Style" technique showed that most of the subjects are confident in themselves and their partner. During the correlation analysis using Spearman's criterion, it was found that satisfaction with marriage is associated with attachment to a partner and such components of love as intimacy and commitment. And we also saw the relationship of attachment to a partner with personality traits such as extraversion and neuroticism.

Jesus' story has been retold in various forms and fashions for centuries. Jesus novels, a subset of the historical fiction genre, are one of the latest means of not only re-imagining the man from Galilee but also of rewriting the canonical Gospels. This thesis explores the Christological portraits constructed in four of those novels while also using the novels to examine the intertextual play of these Gospel rewrites with their Gospel progenitors. Chapter 1 offers a prolegomenon to the act of fictionalizing Jesus that discusses the relationship between the person and his portraits and the hermeneutical circle created by these texts as they both rewrite the Gospels and stimulate a rereading of them. It also establishes the "preposterous" methodology that will be used when reexamining the Gospels "post" reading the novels. Chapters 2 to 5 offer four case studies of "complementing" and "competing" novels and the techniques they use to achieve these aims: Anne Rice's Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt; Neil Boyd's The Hidden Years; Nino Ricci's Testament; and José Saramago's The Gospel according to Jesus Christ. Chapter 6 begins an examination of a specific interpretive circle based upon Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. Beginning with the synoptic accounts of that event, the chapter then turns to how Jesus' testing has been reinterpreted and presented in two of the novels. Returning to the Gospel of Matthew's version of the Temptation, chapter 7 offers a "preposterous" examination of that pericope, which asks novel questions of the text and its role with Matthew's narrative context based on issues raised by the Gospel rewrites. The thesis concludes by suggesting that Jesus novels, already important examples of the reception history of the Gospels, can also play a helpful role in re-interpreting the Gospels themselves.
