Analiso a perspectiva tayloriana da autenticidade através de uma hermenêutica de suas principais obras para propor o significado de educar na autenticidade a partir de Charles Taylor. Com autenticidade e ontologia moral Taylor apresenta uma antropologia ancorada na moral e na ontologia. A perspectiva da autenticidade supõe uma visão integral de ser humano, uma paidéia (formação), um olhar que considere os elementos objetivos constitutivos do ser humano e que precisam da ciência objetiva para serem tratados, mas inseridos numa visão mais ampla e que resguarde o fenômeno humano e social numa linguagem rica. Educar na autenticidade é implementar uma nova leitura de si mesmo e uma nova postura na atividade educativa. Quem educa o humano é o humano. Só o humano constrói o humano. Com autenticidade e epistemologia se percebe que a perspectiva da autenticidade não exclui o paradigma científico, mas necessita de outros paradigmas, principalmente do hermenêutico. Com a hermenêutica é possível, sob a ótica tayloriana, salvar os fenômenos humanos e sociais. Os referenciais formativos de pais, professores e cidadãos precisam ser revistos, já que nossa época tende a valorizar e pôr em destaque justamente aquilo que é científico, útil, técnico, objetivo, racional e material, descuidando-se de, ou desvalorizando elementos subjetivos, afetivos, valorativos e transcendentes. Com autenticidade e linguagem evidencio a compreensão de Taylor sobre a natureza da linguagem e o destaque que ele dá à definição de ser humano como "animal portador de logos", bem como o significado e as decorrências da perspectiva expressivista. Em autenticidade e política destaco que a modernidade veio para ficar e com ela algumas instâncias sócio-políticas como a economia de mercado, a esfera pública, a democracia e a liberdade. Questões problemáticas se acentuam, principalmente ligadas ao individualismo e às possibilidades de manipulação. Nisso cresce a demanda pelo reconhecimento e a necessária abertura ao multiculturalismo. Duas políticas: a da igualdade de direitos de todos e a do reconhecimento das diferenças estão integradas na perspectiva tayloriana da autenticidade. Necessariamente, o ser humano, para ser autêntico, estará em constante referência a horizontes de sentido que transcendem o indivíduo, é o que apresento com autenticidade e transcendência. Taylor situa a questão com a tônica do homo religiosus (homem religioso), reconfigurando-a a partir da experiência pessoal e numa abertura ao pluralismo. / I analyse the Taylor perspective of the authenticity through a hermeneutics of his main works to propose the meaning of educating in the authenticity as of Charles Taylor. With moral authenticity and ontology Taylor presents an anthropology anchored in the morals and in the ontology. The perspective of the authenticity supposes an integral vision of the human being, a paidéia (formation), a look that considers the objective elements constituent of the human being and that need the objective science to be treated, but inserted in a more ample vision and that guards the human and social phenomenon in a rich language. To educate in the authenticity is to implement a new reading of oneself and a new posture in the educative activity. He who educates the human is the human. Only the human builds the human. With authenticity and epistemology one perceives that the perspective of the authenticity does not exclude the scientific paradigm, but needs other paradigms, mainly the hermeneutics. With the hermeneutics it is possible, under the Taylor optics, to save the human and social phenomena. The formative references of parents, teachers and citizens must be revised, as our epoch tends to valorize and put stress on what is exactly scientific, useful, technique, objective, rational and material, not taking care of, or devaluating subjective, affective, valuable and transcendental elements. With authenticity and language I evidence Taylor's comprehension about the nature of the language and the emphasis he gives to the definition of the human being as "animal bearer of logos", as well as the meaning and the derivations of the expressive perspective. In authenticity and politics I point out that modernity came to stay and with it some social-politic instances as the economy of market, the political sphere, the democracy and liberty. Problematic questions are stressed, mainly linked to the individualism and to the possibilities of manipulation. In this the demand for recognition and the necessary opening to the multiculturalism grow. Two politics: the one of the rights of equality for all and the one of the recognition of the differences are integrated in the Taylor perspective of the authenticity. Necessarily, the human being, to be authentic, will be in constant reference to horizons of a sense that they transcend the individual, is what I present with authenticity and transcendence. Taylor situates the question with the stress of the homo religious (religious man), reconfiguring it as of the personal experience and in an opening to the pluralism.

R, where f(x) = sin(x). To achieve this goal, eight sections were developed, in which initially a reflection on the problem and the need to obtain the values in this respect in that it is wide angle measure x is presented. Is presented and subsequently treated a problem involving the movement of a pendulum, which uses the approximation sin(x) x where x belongs to a certain range. In the sections that follow a literature review of the theories of differential and integral calculus is presented, and the related theory of Taylor approximation of functions by polynomials. Later we used these theories to analyze and determine polynomials approximating the function f(x) = sin(x) in a neighborhood of the point x = 0, and estimate the error when we applied these approaches. At this time the error occurred due to the approach used in the pendulum problem was also analyzed. Finally a hint of practice to be held in the classroom using the theories treated here as well as the study of the problem of heat transfer in a bar through the theory of Fourier activity is presented. / Neste trabalho o objetivo principal está focado em aplicar a teoria de Taylor relativa à aproximações polinomiais aplicadas à função trigonométrica definida por f : [0; 2 ] 􀀀! R, onde f(x) = sen(x). Para alcançar esse objetivo, foram desenvolvidas oito seções, nas quais inicialmente é apresentada uma reflexão sobre a necessidade e a problemática de obtêr-se os valores desta relação a medida em que varia-se a medida do ângulo x. Posteriormente é apresentado e tratado um problema envolvendo o movimento de um pêndulo, o qual utiliza a aproximação sen(x) x onde x pertence o um certo intervalo. Nas seções que seguem é apresentada uma revisão bibliográfica das Teorias do Cálculo Diferencial e Integral, assim como da Teoria de Taylor relacionada à aproximação de funções através de polinômios. Posteriormente utilizou-se estas teorias para analisar e determinar polinômios que aproximam a função sen(x) em uma vizinhança do ponto x = 0, assim como estimar o erro gerado ao utilizar-se estas aproximações. Nesse momento também foi analisado o erro ocorrido devido à aproximação utilizada no problema do pêndulo. Por fim é apresentada uma sugestão de atividade prática a ser realizada em sala de aula utilizando as teorias aqui tratadas, assim como o estudo do problema de transferência de calor em uma barra através da teoria de Fourier.

Charles Taylor é um dos principais e mais influentes filósofos contemporâneos. No campo da política, o debate liberal-comunitário é o tema em que suas contribuições são mais conhecidas. Entretanto, o estudo da reflexão política de Taylor tem sido parcial. No registro teórico do debate liberal-comunitário, sua assim chamada crítica comunitarista é, muitas vezes, tomada como uma resposta normativa a possíveis equívocos ou limitações dos ideais morais do liberalismo. A conclusão mais comum é que o pensamento tayloriano se contrapõe à tradição liberal, sendo por vezes identificado ora com o comunitarismo, ora com o republicanismo, ora com o multiculturalismo. A reflexão de Taylor, contudo, se ocupa de um outro registro, mais amplo: o desenvolvimento de concepções de identidade e de bem baseadas em argumentos que não são normativos, mas sim ontológicos. Nesse registro, o objetivo de sua obra não é questionar os ideais morais do liberalismo, mas reconfigurá-los num contexto ontológico específico, bem como ampliar o leque de bens moral e politicamente relevantes para as sociedades contemporâneas. O objetivo dessa dissertação é o de justamente explorar a estrutura conceitual do que poderíamos chamar de individualismo holista, uma tipologia de pensamento político que, embora defensora normativamente da liberdade, pluralismo e autonomia, guarda uma profunda preocupação com a natureza irredutivelmente social da ação e dos bens humanos. Espera-se que a partir dessa chave de leitura sejamos capazes de uma abordagem mais sistemática da reflexão política de Charles Taylor, articulando suas diferentes e fragmentadas intervenções no debate político num quadro mais amplo, referenciado também às discussões sobre a natureza da agência, do self e da modernidade. Ao final, sugerimos que o autor canadense se move teoricamente muito mais próximo daquilo que se considera uma tradição liberal de pensamento do que sua classificação usual permitiria imaginar. / Charles Taylor is one of the most important and influential contemporary philosophers. In the political field, the liberal-communitarian debate is the theme where his contributions are most recognized. Nevertheless, the study of Taylors political thought has been limited. In the liberal-communitarian theorical debate arena, his so called 6 communitarian criticism has many times been taken as an advocacy answer to possible mistakes or limitations of liberalisms moral ideals. The most common conclusion is that the taylorian thought opposes itself to the liberal tradition and it has been identified with communitarianism theories, republicanism, or even with multiculturalism. Taylors reflection, however, is concerned with another more ample aim: the development of identity and good conceptions based in ontological arguments. The purpose of his work is not to question liberalistic moral ideals, but to reconfigure those in a specific ontological background, as well as to amplify the set of allowable moral and political relevant conceptions of goods to contemporary society. The intent of this paper is indeed to explore the conceptual structure of what we could call holistic individualism, a political thinking typology which although concerned with the advocacy of freedom, pluralism and autonomy also continues to take into account the inextricable social nature of agency and human goods conception. Hopefully, with this interpretation key we will be able to put in place a most systematic account of Charles Taylors political reflection, articulating its different and sparse contributions in the political debate in a more comprehensive landscape which will be referenced to his agency, self and modernity discussions. In the end, we suggest that the Canadian author is closer to what we could call a liberal tradition thinking than his usual classification would allow.

Atualmente há uma quantidade considerável de informação sobre o comportamento da economia à disposição da autoridade monetária, cuja decisão é provavelmente baseada nesse grande conjunto de dados. Entretanto, grande parte das análises empíricas de política monetária é baseada em modelos de pequena escala, e o problema de variáveis omitidas pode ser relevante. Uma literatura mais recente mostrou que grandes conjuntos de séries macroeconômicas podem ser modelados usando fatores dinâmicos, que são considerados um resumo da informação contida nos dados. Neste trabalho combinamos os fatores extraídos de 178 séries de tempo com os modelos tradicionais de pequena escala para analisar a política monetária no Brasil. Os fatores estimados são usados como instrumentos em regras de Taylor forward looking e como regressores adicionais em VAR´s. A informação extraída de grandes conjuntos de dados mostrou-se bem útil na análise empírica da política monetária. / Nowadays there is a considerable amount of information on the behavior of the economy available and central bankers can be expected to base their decisions on this very large information set. Nevertheless, most of the empirical analysis of monetary policy has been based on small scale models, and omitted information can be a relevant problem. Recent time-series techniques have shown that large datasets can be modeled using dynamic factors, which are considered a summary of the information in the data. In this work we combine the factors extracted from 178 time series with more traditional small scale models to analyze monetary policy in Brazil. The estimated factors are used as instruments in forward looking Taylor rules and as additional regressors in VAR´s. The information extracted from large datasets turns out to be quite useful for the empirical analysis of monetary policy.

Cette thèse porte sur les effets combinés de l’excentricité et du débit axial sur les propriétés de stabilité linéaire de l’écoulement de Couette circulaire avec cylindre extérieur fixe. Cet écoulement intervient, entre autres, lors du forage de puits de pétrole. Une méthode pseudospectrale est mise en oeuvre pour calculer l’écoulement de base, stationnaire et invariant suivant la direction axiale, ainsi que les modes normaux d’instabilité. L’écoulement est régi par quatre paramètres adimensionnels : rapport de rayons _ et excentricité e pour la géométrie, nombres de Reynolds azimuthal et axial, Re et Rez, pour la dynamique. La première partie de l’étude est consacrée aux propriétés de stabilité temporelle. Il apparaît que l’excentricité repousse le seuil d’instabilité convective vers de plus fortes valeurs de Re. L’effet de l’advection axiale sur le seuil est principalement stabilisant également. L’excentricité a pour conséquence de déformer la structure des modes par rapport au cas concentrique. Le mode au plus fort taux de croissance temporelle est ainsi constitué de tourbillons de Taylor « pseudo-toroïdaux » lorsque le débit axial est nul, et de structures « pseudo-hélicoïdales » d’ordre azimuthal croissant lorsque Rez augmente. Les résultats sont qualitativement similaires lorsque l’on change le rapport de rayons. Les prédictions théoriques sont en bon accord avec les quelques résultats expérimentaux disponibles. Dans une seconde partie, l’instabilité absolue est étudiée par application d’un critère de point selle à la relation de dispersion. Le débit axial a pour effet d’inhiber fortement l’instabilité absolue, d’origine centrifuge, et la valeur de Re au seuil est typiquement supérieure à celle de Rez d’un ordre de grandeur. L’effet de l’excentricité est plus complexe : légère stabilisation aux faibles valeurs de e, puis déstabilisation marquée aux excentricités modérées lorsque Rez est suffisament grand, et enfin stabilisation lorsque e croît davantage. Contrairement au cas de l’instabilité convective, le mode dominant l’instabilité absolue correspond à l’écoulement tourbillonnaire « pseudo-toroïdal » pour toute la gamme de paramètres considérée. / This work is concerned with the combined effects of eccentricity and pressure-driven axial flow on the linear stability properties of circular Couette flow with a fixed outer cylinder. An example of this flow can be found in oil-well drilling operations. A pseudospectral method is implemented to compute the basic flow, steady and homogeneous in the axial direction, as well as the normal modes of instability. There are four non-dimensional parameters: the radius ratio _ and the eccentricity e for the geometry, the azimuthal and axial Reynolds numbers, Re and Rez, for the dynamics. The first part of the study is devoted to the temporal stability properties. It is found that eccentricity pushes the convective instability threshold towards higher values of Re. The effect of axial advection on the threshold also tends to be stabilising. Eccentricity deforms the modes structure compared to the concentric case. As a result, the mode with the largest temporal growth rate takes the form of ‘pseudo-toroidal’ Taylor vortices in the absence of axial flow, and ‘pseudo-helical’ structures with increasing azimuthal order as Rez becomes larger. Results are qualitatively similar for different radius ratios. Agreement with the few available experimental data is good. In a second part, absolute instability is studied by applying the pinch-point criterion to the dispersion relation. Axial flow is found to strongly inhibit absolute instability, the mechanism of which being centrifugal, and the value of Re at the threshold is typically one order of magnitude larger than that of Rez. The effect of eccentricity is more complex: weak stabilisation for low values of e, marked destabilisation for moderate eccentricities and high enough Rez, and finally stabilisation as e is further increased. Unlike temporal instability, the dominant absolutely unstable mode is the ‘pseudo-toroidal’ Taylor vortex flow over the whole range of parameter space considered.

Behind the Scenes of The Steve Taylor Story: A Documentary is the written companion to a 39-minute documentary film entitled, The Steve Taylor Story. The film explores the controversial career of Christian musician Steve Taylor. It also chronicles the ideology of the Christian subculture in America through the hegemony of the dominant Christian culture and Steve's actions in opposition to it.

Cette thèse porte sur la problématique de l’application de la politique monétaire en République Slovaque (RS) depuis 1990. Malgré sa courte histoire la Banque Nationale de la Slovaquie (BNS), possédait et possède toujours une position importante dans le processus de transformation, dans la stabilisation de la situation macroéconomique et dans l’accomplissement des ambitions d’intégration de la RS. Par conséquent, la BNS doit réagir aux tendances actuelles dans le domaine des cibles, instruments et stratégies monétaires. La BNS a significativement avancé dans ce domaine dans une direction positive. La mise en oeuvre d‘une stratégie monétaire optimale, la combinaison appropriée de la règle monétaire et de la politique monétaire discretionnaire peuvent influencer favorablement l’efficacite de la BNS. L’application de la règle monétaire en tant que fonction de réaction de la banque centrale augmente la transparence et la clarté des mesures monétaires de la cette dernière. Une règle monétaire permet aux investisseurs, banquiers, analystes financiers et aux autres agents économiques de prévoir plus précisément la direction et le volume des mesures de la BNS. En conséquence de quoi la transmission et l’impact des démarches est plus efficace. Etant donné que la version officielle de la règle monétaire appliquée par la BNS n’est pas encore connue, il est dans l’intérêt de nombreux analystes de calculer cette formule. Cette thèse offre des processus éventuels pour élaboration d’une règle monétaire dans le contexte de la RS et en propose une forme possible. / The objective of this thesis is to characterise and to evaluate evolution of monetary policy in Slovakia as well as to suggest an optimal monetary strategy for the future. Theoretical part treats beginning and evolution of the monetary policy in the world and main approaches in its application within central banking. In the conclusion of theoretical part is review of literature dealing with similar problematic. The thesis analyses evolution of National Bank of Slovakia (NBS) independence, instruments and objectives. Evaluation of NBS monetary policy application, respectively State Bank of Czechoslovakia monetary policy application, is divided into five basic periods since 1990 to 2005. It is crucial to choose an optimal monetary strategy in order to increase central bank effectiveness and at the same time in respect to the Slovak Republic integration procedures. The thesis compares and analyses advantages and disadvantages of several alternative monetary strategies as for intermediate objectives and as for decisional process. According to our conclusions a Taylor-type rule should be the integral part of the optimal NBS monetary strategy. The rule originates from basic Taylor rule that enables to determinate direction and volume of central bank measurements. Our Taylor rule is applied and adopted to Slovak macroeconomic conditions. Time ranks of chosen macroeconomic indicators since 1993 to 2005 were applied in determination and calculation of the rule. Achieved results are significantly consistent with theory, initial pre-assumptions and current NBS activity.

The first of any formal education in music that can be found from the records or from the memories of those who were present at the time was the singing school. One ranch in the Blair community has files in which records were found of all import ant events of the school and community life. These files relate the coming of the singing school regularly every summer. Shaped notes were taught front hymn books. At the end of the course, a certificate was given to those who graduated. The teacher of the school then moved on to the next engagement.
