Au Laos, un pays d'environ 6,7 millions d'habitants, à peu près 58% de la population est bouddhiste. Les Tai Lue, population tai, habitent dans le nord du Laos entre les provinces dePhongsaly, Bokeo, Oudomxay, Sayaburi, Luang Prabang et Luang Nam Tha. Dans cette recherche, je m'interroge sur l'éducation des novices et la transmission des savoirs dans les communautés monacales lue. Cette étude s'intéresse aux pratiques didactiques des monastères tai lue en considérant que la transmission des savoirs entre les moines permet la réalisation des rites et cérémonies bouddhiques. Dans ces monastères, la transmission est basée en partie sur les textes mais aussi sur le savoir-faire. Comment les moines parviennent-ils à transmettre des savoirs oraux, textuels et corporels aux novices ? L'éducation dans certains monastères lue sera considérée notamment par l'étude des modes d'apprentissage corporels, des façons de faire et d'être. L'action conjointe en didactique est étudiée dans ces monastères. Elle est considérée comme étant une coopération entre le professeur et l'élève dans l'apprentissage d'un savoir.

Motyvacija – itin svarbus veiksnys, lemiantis darbuotojų veiklos rezultatus, paliečiantis jų emocijas ir kuriantis tam tikrą elgesį ir darbingumą. Socialinių darbuotojų motyvavimas beveik nėra analizuotas mokslinėje literatūroje, todėl šiame darbe nagrinėjama socialinių darbuotojų motyvavimo priemonės bei metodai, lojalumo aspektai. Darbo tikslas – aptarti darbuotojų motyvavimo veiksnius ir priemones kaip prielaidas kurti motyvacinę sistemą socialinėse institucijose. Darbe aptariama svarbiausios personalo valdymo ir organizavimo funkcijos, šiuolaikinių motyvacijos teorijų apžvalga, darbuotojų lojalumas kaip motyvacijos veiksnys, socialinių institucijų samprata ir valdymas, socialinio darbuotojo profesijos ypatumai, motyvacijos veiksniai, priemonės, gale pateikiama socialinių darbuotojų motyvacijos tyrimo rezultatai. Pagrindinis motyvacijos svertas yra materialinių ir nematerialinių poreikių tenkinimas. Materialinis poreikių tenkinimas apibūdinamas, kaip konkrečiai suplanuoti užmokesčio sistemos plėtrą ir kaip taikyti rezultatyvumą atlyginantį darbo užmokestį, o nematerialinių poreikių tenkinimas, tai galimybė darbuotojams tobulėti dalykine ir vadovavimo prasme, taip pat ryžtingas atsakomybės perdavimas kaip atlygis už darbą gali papildyti iki šiol dominavusį paskatų arsenalą. Žmogaus profesinės veiklos sėkmė priklauso ne tik nuo jo norų ar individualių savybių, jų atitikimo profesijos keliamiems reikalavimams, bet ir nuo to, kaip jis priima ir vertina save, ir kaip save...

Musculoskeletal disorders are common among musicians at all levels of performance. Since music teachers train our future musicians it is important to understand their work environment. By creating good examples of a healthy work environment, they can teach their students how to stay healthy and to prevent pain. The aim of this thesis was to study the work environment of music teachers at municipal music schools, with regard to physical and psychosocial factors and musculoskeletal disorders with the focus on neck and shoulder disorders. An additional aim was to investigate the variability of the playing technique in string players and to investigate if they could play with greater variation in the trapezius muscle activity pattern after a training intervention program. In a cross-sectional study at 23 municipal music schools, 171 out of the 208 (82%) music teachers reported that they had experienced work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) during the previous year. Women reported significantly more symptoms in the neck, the shoulders and the upper back compared to men. Both physical and psychosocial work factors were associated with neck and shoulder disorders. For women “high mental work demands” and “teaching at many schools” could be seen as risk factors and for men “lifting”, “playing the guitar” and “low social support at work” were risk factors. The occurrence of WMSDs was also investigated, over an eight-year period, in music teachers at one music school. The result showed that neck, shoulder and lower back disorders were common and tended to be of long duration and to increase over the years. In an interview study, nine music teachers focused on what they perceived to be important for their health and well-being. Replenishing and using up energy was found to be the core category. Creativity in the music and working with other musicians were perceived as sources of energy, while the goals of the organisation were experienced as stressful and used up energy. Whether the work was regarded as pedagogical or musical could affect the perception of health and the strategies for dealing with the strains of work. In two studies using electromyography, the variation in the trapezius muscle activity pattern in string musicians was investigated. The results suggested that each musician could repeat their muscular activity pattern in a similar way between two playing sessions. No difference was found in the trapezius muscle activity between five violinists who trained basic Body Awareness Therapy (BAT), a technique having its roots in Tai Chi Chuan tradition, compared to a reference group of nine violinists who did not take part in any training. However, the training group perceived positive changes in breathing, muscular tension, postural control and concentration during practice sessions. Neck and shoulder disorders were associated with physical and psychosocial factors at work. A process of replenishing and using up energy was important for music teachers’ health. The playing technique in string musicians seemed to be repeatable but difficult to affect over a short-term period. For future musicians it is crucial to learn good working technique at an early age. In the learning process the music teacher is a vital role model. / <p>Diss. (sammanfattning) Umeå : Univ., 2003, Härtill 5 uppsatser</p> / digitalisering@umu

Two studies were conducted, each one with two steps. Study 1 initially gathered evidence of validity and reliability of the Voting Intention by Political Positions Scale and the Non-conventional Political Participation Scale. Participated 374 undergraduate students with a mean age of 23.7 years (SD = 7.25). For the first instrument, its items were grouped into a single factor that explained 78.2% of the variance (α = 0.95). The second measure had its three-factor structure supported by a Principal Component Analysis (PC): legal demonstration (α = 0.74), violence using (α = 0.62) and passive participation (α = 0.69), which together account for 49% of the variance. Participated in the second stage 351 students with a mean age of 23.7 years (SD = 7.28), answering the above measures and: Basic Values Survey, Religious Practices Scale, Religious Beliefs Scale and a list of attributes. Hypothetical candidate profiles were randomly distributed, deriving from religious orientation vs schooling. The results showed positive correlations between Catholic and Protestant beliefs with the Catholic and Evangelical profiles voting intention, respectively; higher definition by positive attributes and higher voting intention on the profiles with higher education level; and values congruence between participants and candidates in general. About the Study 2, participants were 226 people online recruited, with a mean age of 24.9 (SD = 5.77). This first stage focused on the psychometric properties of the Religious Fundamentalism Scale and the Four Basic Dimensions of Religiousness Scale. For the first one, it was found a solution unifactorial through a PC, with its component explained 50% of the variance (α = 0.90). The second one had its four-factor model supported by a Confirmatory Factor Analysis [χ²/df = 2.67, GFI = 0.91, AGFI = 0.86, CFI = 0.97 and RMSEA = 0.08 (90% CI = 0.068 - 0.104)], with the following factors: community (α = 0.95), morality (α = 0.93), emotions (α = 0.89) and meaning (α = 0.85). The second step included 165 subjects with a mean age of 25.1 (SD = 5.47), also recruited virtually. Were applied the following instruments: Politician-religiousness IAT, Voting Intention by Political Positions Scale, the Basic Values Questionnaire, Social Dominance Orientation, and Right-Wing Authoritarianism. The results showed a faster association of the Politician-religiousness IAT’s congruent block (religious politician + positive); D score was positively correlated with fundamentalism and normative values; there was explicitly greater voting intention in the non-religious candidate, with influence of the religiousness level and the importance of religion. It is estimated that the objectives of this dissertation were achieved, contributing to the knowledge about the religious, educational and values aspects of the voting intention; and about implicit attitudes towards religious politicians. / Esta dissertação objetivou conhecer as relações entre intenção de voto, aspectos religiosos, educacionais e valores. Dois estudos foram realizados, cada um com duas etapas. O Estudo 1 inicialmente reuniu evidências de validade e precisão da Escala de Intenção de Voto por Cargos Políticos e da Escala de Participação Política Não-convencional. Participaram 374 universitários com média de idade de 23,7 anos (DP = 7,25). Para o primeiro instrumento, observou-se um agrupamento de seus itens em um único fator que explicou 78,2% da variância (α = 0,95). A segunda medida teve sua estrutura trifatorial corroborada por uma Análise dos Componentes Principais (PC), sendo: demonstração legal (α = 0,74), uso de violência (α = 0,62) e participação passiva (α = 0,69), os quais explicaram conjuntamente 49% da variância. Participaram da segunda etapa 351 universitários com média de idade de 23,7 anos (DP = 7,28), respondendo as medidas supracitadas e: Questionário dos Valores Básicos, Escala de Práticas Religiosas, Escala de Crenças Religiosas e uma lista de atributos. Foram distribuídos aleatoriamente perfis de candidato hipotético, derivado de orientação religiosa vs nível de escolaridade. Os resultados indicaram correlações positivas entre as crenças católicas e protestantes com os perfis católico e evangélico, respectivamente; maior definição pelos atributos positivos e intenção de voto nos perfis com nível superior; e congruência valorativa entre participantes e candidatos no geral. Do Estudo 2 participaram 226 pessoas recrutadas online, com média de idade de 24,9 (DP = 5,77). Esta primeira etapa focou nas propriedades psicométricas da Escala de Fundamentalismo Religoso e da Escala de Quatro Dimensões Básicas da Religiosidade. Para a primeira, verificou-se por meio de uma PC uma solução unifatorial, com seu componente explicando 50% da variância (α = 0,90). A segunda teve seu modelo tetrafatorial corroborado através de uma Análise Fatorial Confirmatória [χ²/gl = 2,67, GFI = 0,91, AGFI = 0,86, CFI = 0,97 e RMSEA = 0,08 (IC90% = 0,068 – 0,104)], com os fatores: comunidade (α = 0,95), moralidade (α = 0,93), emoções (α = 0,89) e sentido (α = 0,85). A segunda etapa contou com 165 indivíduos com média de idade de 25,1 (DP = 5,47), também recrutados virtualmente. Aplicaram-se os seguintes instrumentos: TAI Político-religiosidade, Escala de Intenção de Voto por Cargos Políticos, Questionário dos Valores Básicos, Escala de Orientação à Dominância Social, e Escala de Autoritarismo de Direita. Os resultados mostraram uma associação mais rápida do bloco congruente do TAI Político-religiosidade (político religioso + positivo); o escore D correlacionou-se positivamente com o fundamentalismo e com os valores normativos; houve explicitamente maior intenção de voto no candidato não-religioso, com influência do nível de religiosidade e da importância da religião. Concluiu-se que os objetivos desta dissertação foram alcançados, contribuindo para o conhecimento sobre os aspectos religiosos, educacionais e valorativos da intenção de voto; e acerca das atitudes implícitas em relação a políticos religiosos.

Três experimentos foram desenvolvidos para avaliar protocolos hormonais de sincronização de estro e ovulação em fêmeas Nelore, extratificadas nas três principais categorias de fêmeas (vacas secas, novilhas e vacas paridas) comumente encontradas nas propriedades. Os experimentos possuíam objetivos de comparar a performance reprodutiva das categorias supra citadas, sobre a taxa de detecção do estro, taxa de prenhez na IA (exp. I e II) e/ou IATF (exp III) e no repasse, de fêmeas submetidas a protocolos de sincronização do estro e ovulação. EXP I: Foram utilizadas vacas Nelore não lactantes (n=286), blocadas em um esquema fatorial 2x3, e receberam no D0 o CIDR e 2mg de benzoato de estradiol (BE). O CIDR permaneceu por 5 dias (D5) ou 7 dias (D7), no dia da remoção do CIDR, as vacas receberam PGF2&alpha; (12,5mg, 25mg ou 50mg), formando os tratamentos: 5d12,5mg, 5d25mg, 5d50mg, 7d12,5mg, 7d25mg e 7d50mg. O estro foi detectado em 83.2% (238/286) das vacas, onde D7 (88,0%) foi superior (P<0,05) ao D5 (78,7%). Não houve diferença no tempo médio para detecção do estro que foi de 70,1 ±17,2 h. A taxa de concepção não diferiu entre os tratamentos. A taxa de prenhez à IA foi maior (P<0,05) para o D7 (54,2%) quando comparado ao D5 (39,6%). A taxa de prenhez no repasse e na prenhez total não diferiram entre os tratamentos. EXP II: Utilizou-se 407 novilhas Nelore pré-puberes, blocadas em um esquema fatorial 4x2, as novilhas receberam no D0 o CIDR e 2 mg de BE, o CIDR permaneceu por 5, 7, 9 ou 11 dias. No dia da remoção do CIDR, as novilhas receberam 25mg de PGF2&alpha; e 300 UI eCG. Além disso metade das novilhas receberam 1 mg de BE 48 horas após a retirada do CIDR. A detecção do estro foi maior (P<0,05) para as novilhas que receberam BE (87,3%) quando comparado aos s/BE (54,6%). O tempo médio para detecção do estro foi de 68,1 ±17,3 h. A taxa de concepção não foi influênciada pelos tratamentos, porém a taxa de prenhez da inseminação da sincronização foi maior para o grupo BE (18,8%) quando comparado ao s/BE (12,4%). A taxa de prenhez final não diferiu entre os tratamentos e foi de 62,3%. EXP III: Foram utilizadas vacas Nelore lactantes (n=191), divididas em dois tratamentos: 1xPGF-5d (as vacas permaneceram com o CIDR por 7 dias, sendo que 25mg de PGF2&alpha; foi aplicada no D5); 2xPGF-0/7d (as vacas permaneceram com o CIDR por 7 dias, sendo realizadas duas aplicações de 12,5mg de PGF2&alpha;, no D0 e D7). O CIDR foi retirado no D7, e aplicou-se 0,3 ml de ECP e 300 UI de eCG. Após 50 horas todas as vacas foram submetidas à IATF. No momento da inserção do CIDR 24% das vacas estavam ciclícas. O estro foi detectado em 54,45% (104/191) das vacas, sendo similar entre os tratamentos. O tempo médio para detecção do estro foi de 36,4 ± 8,7 h. Não houve diferença na concepção à IATF, que foi de 59,5 e 59,6% para os tratamentos 1xPGF-5d e 2xPGF- 0/7d, respectivamente. A taxa de prenhez ao final da estação de monta não diferiu e foi de 82,9% para 1xPGF-5d e 86,6% para 2xPGF-0/7d. Em todos os experimentos foi realizada a detecção do estro, com o auxilio de rufiões por até 5 dias após a remoção do CIDR, sendo novamente detectado 10 dias após por um periodo de até 10 dias. Os animais dos exp. I e II foram inseminadas de acordo com o protocolo AM/PM. O diagnóstico de gestação foi realizado de acordo com a caracteristica de cada experimento, mas sempre com o objetivo de identificar e quantificar a origem da prenhez (IA ou repasse). Em vacas Nelore não lactantes, a utilização de protocolos de 7 dias, possui uma performance reprodutiva melhor do que 5 dias de permanência do CIDR. Em novilhas pré-puberes a utilização de BE 48 horas após a remoção do CIDR, aumentou a taxa de detecção de estro, impactanto diretamente no incremento da taxa de prenhez à IA. A utilização do protocolo 7d BE+CIDR, apresenta bons resultados reprodutivos, sendo que podemos reduzir o número de manejos sem o comprometimento da performance reprodutiva, realizando a aplicação de 12,5mg na inserção e na retirada do CIDR. / Three experiments were designed to evaluate estrus synchronization protocols in Nellore females of three different class (dry cows, heifers and lactating cows) commonly found in properties. The experiments had aim to compare a reproductive performance of the categories mentioned above, at the estrus detection, pregnancy rate at AI (exp. I and II) or TAI (exp. III), pregnancy rate at rebreeding, of females submited to estrus synchronization program and ovulation. EXP I: Nonlactating Nellore cows (n=286), were randomized in a 2x3 fatorial arrangement. All animals received the CIDR and 2 mg of EB at D0, the CIDR remained for 5 days (D5) or 7 days (D7). At day of CIDR removal, cows received PGF2&alpha; treatments (12.5mg, 25mg and 50mg), the treatments followed: 5d12.5mg, 5d25mg, 5d50mg, 7d12.5mg, 7d25mg and 7d50mg. Estrus was detected in 83.2% (238/286) of cows, where D7 (88.0%) was higher (P<0.05) than D5 (78.7%). The onset of estrus did not differ among groups and was 70.1 ± 17.2 hours. Conception rate did not differ among treatments. The pregnancy rate at AI was greater (P<0.05) for D7 (54.2%) compared to D5 (39.6%). The pregnancy rate at rebreeding and overall pregnancy did not differ among treatments. EXP II: Prepubertal Nellore heifers (n=407), randomized in a 4x2 factorial arrangement. Heifers received CIDR and 2 mg EB at D0, CIDR remained for 5, 7, 9 or 11 days. On day of CIDR removal, heifers received 25mg of PGF2&alpha; and 300 IU of eCG. Half of the heifers received 1 mg of EB 48 hours after CIDR removal. Estrus detection was greater in EB (87.3%) when compared to NoEB (54.6%). The onset of estrus did not differ among treatments and was 68.1 ± 17.3 hours after CIDR removal. Conception rate was similar among treatments. The pregnancy rate at AI of synchronization was higher for EB (18.8%) compared with NoEB (12.4%). The final pregnancy rate did not differ among treatments. EXP III: Lactating Nellore cows (n=191) were randomized in two groups, 1xPGF-5d (cows received CIDR for 7 days, and 25 mg of PGF was applied on D5); 2xPGF-0/7d (cows received CIDR for 7 days, and two injections of 12.5mg of PGF, on D0 an D7). CIDR was removed on D7, and was associate with injections of 0.3 ml ECP and 300 IU of eCG. TAI was performed 50 h after CIDR removal. Estrus was detected in 54.45% (104/191), and did not differ between groups. The onset of estrus did not differ, and was 36.4 ± 8.7 hours after CIDR removal. The conception rate at TAI did not differ and was 59.5 and 59.6% for 1xPGF-5d and 2xPGF-0/7d, respectively. The final pregnancy rate at the end of breeding season did not differ and was 82.9% for 1xPGF-5d and 86.6% for 2xPGF- 0/7d. All experiments were performed estrus detection with teasers for 5 days after CIDR removal, and was detected again after 10 days, and performed for 10 days. All animals of exp. I and II were inseminated according AM/PM protocol. The pregnancy diagnosis was performed according to caracteristic of each experiment, but always with the goal of identifying and quantifying the origin of pregnancy (AI or rebreeding). Data were analyzed using the statistical program SAS 9.9, for binominal variables we used GLIMMIX procedure and MIXED procedure for continuous variables. In nonlactating Nellore cows, the use of protocols for 7 days, has a better reproductive performance than 5 days of CIDR. In prepubertal heifers using BE 48 hours after CIDR removal, allows for greater estrus detections and increased number of inseminations, and increasing the pregnancy rate at AI. The use of 7d EB+CIDR program yields good reproductive results, and we can reduce a number of handlings without reduce a reproductive performance.

Countries around the world are increasingly making use of public diplomacy methods in order to advance their interests and garner favour with foreign publics, with the aim of creating 'soft power'. One of the most direct methods of doing such is through state-sponsored media outlets, which serve as government mouthpieces with the ability to speak directly to foreign populations. Such practices have recently gained more attention from Western practitioners and academics due to their increased use by countries like Russia and China, and especially in regards to their increasing media presence around the globe. However, this ignores the fact that countries like the United States have been using such outlets since the mid-1900s in openly propagandistic attempts to 'win hearts and minds. In order to understand the practices and ideologies used by such media outlets in their quest to influence foreign publics and create soft power, this research combines a content analysis with a Discourse-Historical Approach to critical discourse studies of two state-sponsored radio programmes, China Radio International and Voice of America, broadcast in March 2016. Of particular interest is the ideology and tactics used to portray countries such as China, the United States, and other countries into which these programmes are broadcast. The results demonstrate that cultural and media values feature subtly but significantly in these programmes, offering justification for their respective governments' actions, while also being used to condemn actions of other countries. Furthermore, the results reveal a hierarchical approach to coverage of countries, with many countries being reduced to inactive bystanders in global affairs.
