Nessa perspectiva, foi feita a seleção de quatro expressivos romances de Bellow para uma análise mais detalhada. Uma escolha que permite a observação de diferentes formas de abertura para o âmbito do transcendente, visto que cada um dos protagonistas de Bellow faz isso de modo muito próprio. Mais precisamente, a partir das suas circunstâncias, das suas vivências, dos seus pensamentos e ainda das suas intuições. Ocorre que esses personagens empreendem, invariavelmente, uma jornada ao conhecimento de si mesmo. Quanto à análise desses textos, ela gira em torno de dois eixos. O primeiro deles é o tema da morte, ou da mortalidade, certamente o tema que é mais fundamental nas criações literárias de Bellow. A respeito do segundo eixo, este é o tema do espírito, ou da alma, também fundamental, e que aparece geralmente vinculado ou subordinado ao tema da morte. Para subsidiar essas análises, não se abre mão de utilizar referências biográficas de Bellow e comentários da crítica literária sobre a sua produção textual. Recursos que se apresentam convenientes para este trabalho de aproximação do complexo e refratário estro bellowiano. / This study attempts to show the religious feeling that permeates the fictional universe of Saul Bellow. To this end, four expressive novels by Bellow were selected for more detailed analysis. This choice enables us to observe different forms of opening for the field of the transcendental, since each of Bellow’s protagonists does this in a particular way, or, more precisely, according to their circumstances, to their experiences, to their thoughts, and also to their intuitions. It happens that these characters invariably undertake a journey in search of self-knowledge. As to the analysis of these texts, it is carried out around two central themes. The first is that of death, or mortality, undoubtedly the most fundamental theme in the literary works of Bellow. The second is that of the spirit, or soul, which is also fundamental and generally linked or subordinated to the theme of death. To substantiate this analysis, we have used bibliographical references of Bellow and comments by literary critics on his writing, which are appropriate resources for this work which attempts to come to grips with the complex and intractable inspiration of Bellow.

A utilização de embalagens de PET mostra viabilidade para o acondicionamento e/ou maturação de destilados em substituição aos tonéis de madeira tradicionalmente utilizados, por suas características de integridade estrutural, permeabilidade seletiva e inocuidade com a bebida. Foram obtidos 13 extratos por macerações contínuas em batelada a partir de mesma quantidade de madeira de carvalho triturada, nas formas tostada e não tostada, com DASCA de teor alcoólico de 55% em volume, a 20°C. O extrato de ca da maceração foi estudado quanto ao extrato seco, compostos fenólicos totais, pH, acidez volátil, fixa e total e cor. A unificação dos extratos integrais das 5 primeiras macerações originaram um extrato resultante do qual foram obtidas as dosagens de 20, 40 e 60mL utilizadas na maturação de aguardente de cana em embalagens de PET de 0,250, 2 e 20L e vidro de 4,7L, durante 4, 8 e 12 meses. Aguardente de cana sem extrato foi maturada paralelamente em barris de carvalho de 200L, durante 4, 8, 12, 36 e 48 meses. A maturação da bebida foi acompanhada com o estudo de perda de massa, teor alcoólico real, pH, acidez volátil, fixa e total, compostos fenólicos totais, cor, álcoois superiores (isoamílico, isobutílico e n-propílico), aldeídos e ésteres totais em cada período de maturação correspondente. As aguardentes de cana maturadas em embalagens de PET, vidro e barris de carvalho, em cada período de maturação, incluindo o tempo zero, foram submetidas ao teste de aceitação com 81 consumidores, avaliando-se os atributos cor, aroma, sabor e impressão global, utilizando escala hedônica não estruturada de 9cm. Os resultados das análises físico-químicas e sensorial de aceitabilidade foram tratados com análise de variância e comparação de médias pelos testes de Duncan (p£0,05) e Tukey (p£0,10), respectivamente. O atributo impressão global da análise de aceitação foi complementarmente analisado pelo método Mapa de Preferência Interno (MDPREF). O extrato resultante originado da mistura dos extratos integrais das cinco primeiras macerações (acumulando 41 dias de maceração), no contexto de 13 macerações (acumulando 346 dias de maceração), resultou na extração de 74,5% de extrato seco, 67,5% de compostos fenólicos totais, 83,9% de acidez fixa e 67,7% de acidez total. A maturação da aguardente de cana pela incorporação de 20, 40 e 60mL deste extrato/L de aguardente de cana alterou significativamente (p£0,05) o perfil físico-químico e sensorial da bebida, agregando cor e compostos fenólicos totais, reduzindo o pH, incrementando a acidez total, volátil e fixa e a composição orgânica de aldeídos e ésteres totais e de álcoois superiores isoamílico, isobutílico e n-propílico. O período de maturação de 12 meses em embalagens de PET de 0,250, 2 e 20L alterou o perfil físico-químico da aguardente de cana, diminuindo a acidez volátil e total e de aldeídos totais, incrementando a acidez fixa e o teor de ésteres totais. O aumento de volume das embalagens de PET refletiu em menores perdas de massa e maiores incrementos de ésteres totais. A aguardente de cana maturada 12 meses em embalagens de PET e vidro com a incorporação de extrato de carvalho mostrou similar aceitabilidade pelos consumidores, em relação à bebida maturada em barris de carvalho, entre 12 até 48 meses. A incorporação na aguardente de cana de dosagens de extrato de 20, 40 e 60mL/L determinou incrementos significativos (p£0,10) de aceitabilidade da bebida maturada em embalagens de PET e vidro, independentemente do tempo de maturação. O atributo cor, originado pela incorporação de distintas dosagens de extrato à aguardente de cana, foi o de melhor aceitabilidade pelos consumidores, seguido pelo aroma, impressão global e sabor / Abstract: The elaboration of extract through maceration of brazilian sugar-cane spirit (BSCS) with oak wood grinded for brazilian sugar-cane spirit maturation shows advantages of process as well as economic ones, such as rationalization of the utilization, optimization of wood compounds extraction, reduction of the maturation time of the drink, renouncing the utilization of oak wood barrels. The utilization of PET packages shows its viability for storage and/or maturation of distilled beverages in substitution to the traditionally used wood structures for its structural integrity characteristics, selective permeability and innocuousness with the content. It was obtained 13 oak extracts by sequential units macerations using fixed quantity of toasted and not toasted grinded wood with BSCS 50°GL/20°C. Each extract was studied with the dry extract, total phenolic compounds, fixed, volatile and total acidity and colour. The unification of the integral units extracts from the five initial macerations produced the resultant extract for which were obtained the 20, 40, 60mL dosages for BSCS maturation in 0.250, 2, and 20L PET packages and in 4,7L glass packages during 4, 8 and 12 months. This study went along with the maturation of BSCS in 200L oak barrels during 4, 8, 12, 36 and 48 months. The maturation process of BSCS was physical-chemically accompanied by the study of mass losses, real alcoholic level, fixed, volatile and total acidity, total phenolic compounds, colour, superior alcohols (isoamilic, isobutilic, and n-propilic), total esters and aldehydes, in each specific times, included at zero time. An acceptance test also took place involving 81 BSCS consumers through their manifestation concerning the attributes colour, aroma, flavour and global impression using a nonstructured 9cm hedonic scale. The physical-chemical and acceptance tests results were statistically treated with variance analysis and Duncan (p=0.05) and Tukey (p=0.10) tests for average comparisons, respectively. The global impression attribute of the acceptance test was supplementary treated by Multidimensional Preference Analysis (MDPREF) method. The resultant extract obtained of the mixture of the five initial units macerations (totalizing 41 days of maceration) in context of thirteen units macerations (totalizing 346 days of maceration) resulted in 74.5% dry extract, 67.5% total phenolic compounds, 83.9% fixed acidity and 67.7% total acidity extraction. The incorporation of 20, 40, and 60mL of this extract per liter for BSCS maturation were significant effect (p£0.05) on physical-chemical profile of the beverage, associating to it colour and total phenolic compounds, reducing pH, adding volatile and fixed total acidity, the organic composition of superior alcohols, total esters and aldehydes. At 12 months BSCS maturation time in 0.250, 2 and 20L PET packages altered the physical-chemical profile of the beverage, decreasing the total and volatile acidity and total aldehydes and increasing the fixed acidity and total esters. The volume increase in PET packages reflected smaller indexes of mass losses and larger increments of total esters. The BSCS matured in PET and glass packages with the incorporation of oak extract during 12 months showed similar acceptability by consumers, in relation to the BSCS matured in oak barrels, during 12 to 48 months. The incorporation of the 20, 40, and 60mL oak extract dosage per liter for BSCS maturation determined significant increments (p=0.10) of acceptance of the BSCS matured in PET and glass packages independently of maturation time. The colour attribute originated by the distinct dosages of extract was the better acceptance by the consumers, followed by aroma, global impression and flavour / Doutorado / Tecnologia de Alimentos / Doutor em Tecnologia de Alimentos

The high Christology and unique pneumatology of John’s gospel has often eclipsed the apostle’s teaching on the relationship of the believer to Christ and the Father through the Spirit in Johannine studies. This dissertation seeks to fill this gap by providing an exegetically-focused treatment of sonship in the Johannine corpus that gives special attention to the role of the Spirit in bringing God’s children to participate in the life of the Son and his relationship with the Father. The central thesis is that John, in a manner distinct from Paul’s metaphor of adoption, presents the sonship of believer’s as the result of the Spirit’s work of regeneration out of which flows faith and participation in Christ’s life as Son. At the heart of this study are eight Johannine passages––John 1:12–13; 3:3–8; 14:16–23; 20:17; 1 John 3:1–3, 24; 4:13; and Revelation 21:7––that provide the exegetical lens to view the Spirit of Sonship in John. Although the exegesis of chapter 3 forms the foundation of study, chapter 2 considers the eight Johannine passages through the eyes of John Calvin and John Gill––both instrumental in advancing the theology of the Spirit and providing an exegetical foundation for their theology. Chapter 4 identifies three primary themes––obedience, love, and life––drawn from the eight passages and briefly synthesizes and correlates these themes with other key texts in the Johannine corpus. A brief survey of literature on sonship is reviewed in chapter 1, setting the landscape to which this dissertation seeks to contribute. By focusing on the role of the Spirit the persons of the Father and Son are not diminished, but brought into clearer focus, which is consistent with the Spirit’s ministry to glorify the Son (John 16:14). The Father is the divine initiator, the Son the divine accomplisher, and the Spirit the divine mediator of every spiritual reality that is in and through the Son to the believer. At the center of the Spirit of sonship is the glory of the Son who reveals the glory of the Father in the hearts of the children.

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att beskriva svenska schamaner utifrån intervjuer med fyra informanter. Ingen av de fyra informanterna anser sig ha gjort ett aktivt medvetet val att bli schaman. Schamanismen har uppfattats som en kallelse som schamanerna har en mission som ingår i en större plan att utföra. Enligt schamanerna är kontakten med andarna avgörande för en schaman. De har i olika grad läst och gått kurser och på detta sätt haft mänskliga lärare men de definierar kontakten med sina andehjälpare som fordonet till att utveckla schamansk kunskap. Naturläkaren har fått kunskap från den samiska traditionen och nedärvt från morfadern. De tre schamanerna ser inte andevärlden som ensidigt god. Schamanens livserfarenheter används för att stötta och hjälpa andra människor. Två schamaner behöver personens tillåtelse för att utföra schamanska behandlingar och därigenom se sig som rena, vilket skapar ett tabu med gränser mellan innanför och utanför där tillåtelse klassificeras som innanför gränsen. Svenska schamaner och svenska folkets naturintresse är sammanbundet med det de schamanska respondenterna ser som schamanism och en bra schamansk samhällsutveckling. Naturläkarens släktrelation till sejtestenen är en koppling både till naturen och dess samiska värde och en symbol som leder till släktens sammanhållning. / The purpose of the essay has been to describe Swedish schamans based on interviews with four informant’s point of view. None of the four informants consider themselves have made an active conscious choice to become a schaman. Schamanism has been perceived as a call as the schamans have a mission that is part of a larger plan to perform. According to the schamans, the contact with the spirits is crucial for a schaman. They have, to a different extent, read and gone courses and in this way have had human teachers, but they define their contact with their spirit assistants as the vehicle to develop schaman knowledge. The natural physician has got knowledge from the Sami tradition and inherited it from the grandfather. The three schamans do not see the spirit world like one-sided good. The schaman's life experiences are used to support and help other people. Two schamans need the person's permission to perform schaman treatments and through that be seen as pure which creates a taboo with limits between internal and external borders where permission is classified as within the limit. Swedish schamans and the Swedish people's nature interests are linked with that the schaman respondent's looks like schamanism and a good schaman society development. The natural doctor's relative- relation to the sejte- stone is a connection to both nature and its Sami value and a symbol that leads to the family's unity.

L’engagement dans la création d’entreprise est un évènement rare et tardif chez les ingénieurs français. Pour changer cette situation et former davantage des ingénieurs-entrepreneurs, nous étudions l’impact de la formation dans une grande école d’ingénieurs en France. La problématique s’inscrit dans le cadre théorique du comportement planifié complété par la théorie de la carrière entrepreneuriale et la notion d’esprit d’entreprendre. Nous avons suivi une approche longitudinale afin d’étudier l’évolution des intentions et de la construction des identités professionnelles ainsi que les comportements observables associés au cours de leur formation. La thèse s’appuie sur un questionnaire posé chaque année au cours du curriculum et des entretiens semi-directifs en fin de cursus auprès des élèves ingénieurs. Elle aboutit à l’identification de plusieurs identités professionnelles d’ingénieurs (ingénieur technique, manager, entrepreneur) et la caractérisation de la trajectoire de l’intention qui mène au choix de carrière entrepreneuriale. L’impact des facteurs socioculturels, scolaires et extrascolaires sur la trajectoire de l’intention a été modélisé. Il permet d’expliquer la construction de chaque identité professionnelle / Although many researchers point out the emergence of new generations of engineers, the traditional model of the French engineer remains reluctant to entrepreneurship, few engineers are moving towards entrepreneurial careers and they do it rather late in their career. To reverse this trend and train more entrepreneurial engineers, we study educational impact of an engineering Grande Ecole in France. Drawing on the theory of planned behaviour completed by the theory of entrepreneurial career and the notion of entrepreneurial spirit, we use a longitudinal approach to measure the evolution of intention, together with the construction of professional identities and observable behaviours of students during their school years. This study is based on a longitudinal survey completed each year by engineering students and semi-structured interviews with them at the end of the curriculum. The findings include the identification of three engineering professional identities (technical engineer, manager, and entrepreneur) and the definition of the entrepreneurial intention trajectory Leading to entrepreneurial career choice. The impacts of socio-cultural, pedagogical and extra curriculum factors on the trajectory of intention have been modelled. They can explain the building up process of each engineering professional identity

Policy goals stipulated by the Ministry of Education of the post-colonial government of Malawi advocate music education and inclusion of indigenous music in education. In spite of such stipulations, music education is non-practical and the integration of indigenous music in education is unsatisfactory. This thesis attempts to address these issues while focusing on the meaning and purpose of music to Malawians. The thesis begins by tracing the history of music in classroom education in Malawi from 1875 to the present with an attempt to investigate the factors that have contributed to the current crisis in music in schools. This historical-ethnographic study sets out to demonstrate that the ideals and practices of foreign religions as well as Western education denied indigenous music of Malawians a place in classroom education as well as inside and outside the church or the mosque. The thesis strives to portray the consequences of this denial on issues of purpose, outcome, content, methodology and support for music education; trends in indigenous music in ethnic societies; policy goals and statements of music education in the Malawian education; and attitude towards music and music education. Adopting the approaches of both musicology and ethnomusicology, the thesis discusses the role played by indigenous music in ethnic societies and the rationalised views of this music as provided by the musically informed native Malawian practitioners. This discussion further demonstrates how indigenous music structures reflect the social realities of Malawians such as the sharing of resources and theories of life. The thesis argues musical issues that would be the basis for remedying the crisis in music education. A philosophical proposition for modern music education, and the significance of indigenous music in classroom education are argued. An introduction to music education that promotes the use of indigenous music in study and performance is suggested. Sources relied on in the thesis include published and unpublished studies of music and music education; audio/video recordings; and field research undertaken to obtain information about existing indigenous music and their knowledge systems known in Malawian ethnic societies, but not yet covered by existing publications. / Thesis (DMus)--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Music / unrestricted

In the last fifteen to twenty years there has been increasing agreement about the phenomenon of insight, but a clear mechanism for insight is not yet understood. The present study examines nine different approaches to the experience of insight: the holistic approach of gestalt psychology; the existential approach of phenomenological psychology; the puzzle-problem approach of cognitive psychology; the creative approach of genius, dreams, design and invention; the representational approach of models; the case-study approach of great minds; the metaphors-of-mind approach; the intersubjective approach of psychotherapy, and the body-mind-spirit continuum approach of spirituality to insight. The distinctive value of this qualitative research lies in the opportunity to interview the research participants to get rich descriptions, not only about their experiences of significant insight and the conditions under which they occurred, but also to investigate the results of their insights. Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu’s insight, in prayer before the Soweto Uprising, resulted in him writing a historic letter of warning to the Prime Minister. Debbie Brown had a series of insights in therapy and while listening to music, about responding to her husband’s long-term infidelity; the results were totally unexpected and expressed in a contemporaneous e-mail. Sir Roger Penrose’s experience of insight was subliminal as he crossed a road and needed to be re-membered later from a lingering feeling of elation; it resulted in a scientific proof about black holes. Tony Grogan’s insights and associations occurred while scanning the news and were expressed in a socio-political cartoon form for the Cape Times newspaper. The particular findings include the necessity for awareness and disposition of openness, the importance of confronting and containing the problematic raw material, and the significance of the moments of ‘impact’ and ‘interpreting’. Insight is seen as crucial to the quality of understanding, transcending the usual or dominant way of seeing things, as key to a self-actualising process and as self-authenticating yet tested in the public realm. At each occurrence of insight understanding develops and action is enabled. The relationship between insight and sight, foresight and humour, is discussed. The qualitative research findings are considered in relation to recent neurobiological research. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Psychology / unrestricted

This thesis considers the lived experiences of LGBTTQIA+ students who currently attend or have attended Trinity Western University (TWU), a private Christian university that requires all staff, students and faculty to sign a community covenant expressing marriage is between a man and a woman. Importantly, TWU is currently seeking to start a law school, which faces great opposition due to TWU’s historical and current exclusion of queer folks. Subsequently, this thesis draws on data gathered from six qualitative interviews with current or past TWU students who also identify as LGBTTQIA+, women and/or gender non binary with the hope of making space for those folks while also offering criticisms and recommendations for TWU to consider. Additionally, this thesis seeks to provide clinical recommendations for counsellors and psychotherapists as they work to support folks at the intersections of spiritual and sexual identity in an affirmative and supportive manner.

« Il était une fois »… un professeur autrichien, Theodor Vernaleken, qui souhaitait diffuser les récits populaires et coutumes traditionnelles des régions alpines. Ce « Grimm autrichien » les restitue si fidèlement dans ses Contes des Alpes pour les enfants et le foyer et ses Légendes des Alpes qu’il adopte la forme dialectale. Pédagogue émérite, il annote ses récits de nombreuses remarques explicatives rendant ainsi ces témoignages accessibles. Le conte est un récit se déroulant « autrefois » « dans une contrée lointaine ». Les êtres fantastiques surgissent tout naturellement au moment opportun, pour permettre ou empêcher le héros de vivre heureux et d’avoir beaucoup d’enfants. Pour sa part, la légende vise à être crue. Dans ces contes et légendes, les habitants ou un membre de la communauté villageoise ont vu de leurs propres yeux, dans leur village, des êtres surnaturels. Ils nous racontent leur étonnement, leur peur découlant de leur confrontation à cet autre monde peuplé de démons. C’est ainsi qu’apparaissent des homoncules, des géants, des dragons et autres animaux fantastiques, qui parlent, se transforment, etc. L’homme est également confronté à des protagonistes démonologiques tels que sorcières, diables et revenants. Celui qui a transgressé les interdits ne pourra échapper à son destin, tel est le message de ces récits exemplaires et instructifs. Jusqu’à présent, aucune étude exhaustive, ni classification de ce genre littéraire n’a été réalisée. Ainsi, cette étude analysera, par une approche comparative, les récits démonologiques à travers l’étude des êtres fantastiques des textes rassemblés par Theodor Vernaleken. / “Once upon a time”… an austrian professor, Theodor Vernaleken, wanted to spread popular stories and traditional uses from the alpine areas. This “Austrian Grimm” restores them in his books Tales From the Alps for children and home and Legends from the Alps so faithfully that he writes them in dialect form. Highly skilled teacher, he writes lots of explicative notes on his stories making them understandable. A tale is a story, which takes place “a long time ago” “in a far faraway country”. Fantastic creatures appear quite naturally at the right time to allow the heroes to live happy and have lots of children or to prevent it to happen. As for it the legend aims to be believed. In these tales and legends inhabitants or a member of the village community have really seen supernatural creatures in their village. They tell us about their amazement, their fear from the confrontation with this other world populated with daemons. So dwarfs, giants, drakes and other fantastic animals and so on appear, speak and are completely transformed. Humans are also confronting demonologic protagonists such as witches, devils and ghosts. Who transgresses the interdicts cannot escape from his fate. That is the message of these exemplary and instructive stories. Up to now, no exhaustive survey or classification of this literary genre has been carried out. So, this work will analyse demonologic stories in a comparative way through the study of fantastic creatures in texts gathered by Theodor Vernaleken.

In the SILVA Jr s perspective, the biblical messianism is in order to reveal us a pneumatic eclesiology, and not a mere historicist libertation, a ultimate irreducible element, and not a politic praxis in a revolutionary way, like the social messianisms. In its final shape of the biblical canon, the Old Testament messianism has its roots in the alternative community proposed by Moses and its continuity in the promises made to the David, but it will be the post-exilic community centered in the temple who rediscovers, in the middle the liturgical pilgrimages of intertestamentarial period, an increasing eschatological function of the Israel s remnant as the last place to mystical experience of the pneumatic ecclesiology just fully revealed in the neotestamentary reinterpretation of the messianism applied by beloved disciple community. Just so, SILVA Jr demonstrates the focus of the Jesus messianism as being in the his communion to the Father operated by the Holy Spirit from the Nazareth s sinagoga, and also, he presents as the posterior reinterpretation applied by pauline theology understands the messianism as a most genuine Church s pneumatology, in which the sacramental experience is strictly relationed to the question on the eternal procession of the Holy Spirit, and not just to its historic mission from the Pentecost, in according to the joanine theology and, at the same time, to the orthodox theology in our days. / Na presente obra, SILVA Jr propõe uma teologia bíblica do messianismo à luz da crítica canônica e em harmonia com a compreensão de José Comblin acerca do fenômeno do messianismo como temática através da qual o cristianismo fala de uma realidade última. Para SILVA Jr, o messianismo bíblico está em função de nos revelar uma eclesiologia pneumática, e não uma mera libertação histórica, um elemento irredutivelmente ulterior, e não uma práxis libertária de teor revolucionário, como é o caso dos messianismos em meio às sociedades em geral. Em sua forma final no âmbito do cânon bíblico, o messianismo do Antigo Testamento tem suas raízes na comunidade alternativa proposta por Moisés e sua continuidade com as promessas feitas a Davi, sendo todavia a comunidade pós-exílica centrada no templo que redescobre, em meio às peregrinações litúrgicas intertestamentárias, a crescente função escatológica do remanescente fiel portador da experiência mística de uma eclesiologia pneumática só plenamente revelada com a releitura neotestamentária do messianismo feita pela comunidade do discípulo amado. Assim, SILVA Jr demonstra como o foco do messianismo de Jesus reside em sua comunhão com o Pai operada pelo Espírito desde a sinagoga de Nazaré e como a releitura posterior feita pela teologia paulina o propõe como a mais genuína pneumatologia da Igreja, cuja experiência sacramental vincula-se estritamente à questão da processão eterna do Espírito, e não somente à sua missão histórica a partir de Pentecostes, de acordo com a teologia joanina e, imultaneamente, com a teologia ortodoxa até hoje.
