Šiame darbe autorė nagrinėja reikalavimo perleidimo ir faktoringo institutų teisinio reglamentavimo ypatumus, jų santykį, bei siekia nustatyti juos siejančius ir skiriančius požymius. Analizuojamos cesijos ir faktoringo sąvokos bei šių institutų teisinė prigimtis Lietuvos bei užsienio civilinės teisės sistemoje, apžvelgiama susiklosčiusi Lietuvos Aukščiausiojo Teismo praktika. Cesijos ir faktoringo teisiniais santykiais yra siekiama tų pačių tikslų – perleisti reikalavimo teisę. Cesijos ir faktoringo teisinis reglamentavimas, kuris įtvirtintas Lietuvos Respublikos Civiliniame kodekse, suponuoja išvadą, kad cesija neabejotinai sudaro pagrindinį faktoringo sutarties elementą. Darbe siekiama ne tik atskleisti reikalavimo perleidimo ir faktoringo prigimtį, bet ir išanalizuoti kokiais būdais reikalavimas gali būti perleistas, kokios teisės ir pareigos yra suteiktos cesijos ir faktoringo sandorio šalims. Daug dėmesio skiriama reikalavimo perleidimo bei faktoringo sąlygų nustatymui ir analizavimui. Taip pat aptariamos minėtų institutų pasekmės. Tyrimas remiasi Lietuvos, Rusijos, Vokietijos, Prancūzijos ir Jungtinės Karalystės teisinio reglamentavimo ir mokslinės lietartūros analize. Yra pateikiama minėtų valstybių teisės doktrinų atstovų teiginiais nagrinėjamais aspektais, lyginamas šalių teisinis reglamantavimas taikant cesijos ir faktoringo institutus. Magistro baigiamojo darbo pabaigoje autorė pateikia tyrimą apibendrinančias išvadas. / In this final master thesis author is analyzing regulatory features of an assignment of claim and factoring institutes and also seeks to determine the main differences and the similarities of them. The conception of an assignment of claim and factoring, the legal nature of these institutes in Lithuania and foreign civil law systems are analyzed, additionally the emerged court practice of the Supreme Court of Lithuania are being discussed in the work. The purpose that the creditor seeks using an assignment of claim or factoring is the same – to transfer the valid claim. The legal regulation of an assignment of claim and factoring, provided in the Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania, supposes the conclusion that an assignment of claim certainly is the main element of the factoring agreement. In this work author seeks nor only to reveal the nature of an assignment of claim and factoring, but also to analyze the ways a valid claim can be transferred. He also uncovers the rights and obligations of the parties of an assignment of claim and factoring agreement. This thesis at large scale approaches to detection and analyzation of conditions of an assignment of claim and factoring. Also the consequences of these institutes are being discussed. Research is based on Lithuanian, Russian, French, German and United Kingdom‘s deep analysis of legal regulation and existing academical literature. Author compares and discusses various affirmations of spokesmen representing... [to full text]

Due to the exponential growth of the dimension of the space of tensors V_(1)⊗• • •⊗V_(n), any naive method of representing these tensors is intractable on a computer. In practice, we consider feasible subspaces (subvarieties) which are defined to reduce the storage cost and the computational complexity. In this thesis, we study two such types of subvarieties: the third secant variety of the product of n projective spaces, and tensor network states. For the third secant variety of the product of n projective spaces, we determine set-theoretic defining equations, and give an upper bound of the degrees of these equations. For tensor network states, we answer a question of L. Grasedyck that arose in quantum information theory, showing that the limit of tensors in a space of tensor network states need not be a tensor network state. We also give geometric descriptions of spaces of tensor networks states corresponding to trees and loops.

Ethnic media are powerful, and yet overlooked, spaces that immigrants and ethnic minorities establish to address issues that are not discussed in the dominant host society media. With the international migration of over five million people each year from majority to minority world nations, the emergence of ethnic media in countries around the world has increased significantly; however, relatively little is understood about the ways in which these spaces are used by immigrants and ethnic minorities. This thesis adds to a relatively new area of study in sociology, international development, and alternative media studies and investigates the ways in which Spanish-language ethnic media acts as a ‘Third Space’ where Hispanics disseminate, negotiate, (re)construct, and (re)articulate new notions of hybrid Hispanic-Canadian identity, an identity that operates against, and engages with, multiple-forms of difference and exclusion within Canada. A qualitative discourse analysis of 18 articles from Spanish-language ethnic media source El Correo Canadiense reveals the ways in which Hispanics in Canada negotiate hybridized identity by using ethnic media as a space to create a discourse that acts counter-hegemonically to Canadian mass-media. The findings also reveal the ways in which Hispanics are aiming to engage Canadians in the process of de- and re-constructing preconceived notions of what it means to “be Hispanic” in a transnational context. / Thesis (Master, Sociology) -- Queen's University, 2010-08-03 14:10:08.16

<p>This thesis proposes a typology of responsiveness in order to reduce interpretive ambiguity and to provide a framework which makes possible an assessment of the extent to which responsiveness is likely to be institutionalised in higher education. The typology is tested at two universities. The findings indicate that the typology developed can be deployed to reveal insight into how responsiveness is manifesting at universities. The findings around institutionalisation of responsiveness are less conclusive but indicate that while there is evidence of the institutionalisation of a particular type of university responsiveness, the process is at best partial as the academic heartland of higher education systems remain slow to accept the demands made by the state, university leadership and other stakeholders for more responsive universities.</p>

The arbitration legislation of Kazakhstan has no direct answer to the problem of possible participation of the third parties therein. The analysis of the Kazakhstani legislation and practice, as well as the comparison of the Kazakhstani approach with international approaches regarding the problem of the third parties have revealed the necessity in the legislative reforms to be taken in Kazakhstan. These reforms are required for stabilization and equilibration of the position of third parties with all rest parties of the arbitration proceedings. Thus, the main aim of this thesis is to elaborate a series of suggestions on the potential development of the arbitration procedural legislative system and to address some of the gaps in the existing arbitration legislation.

In an ethnographic examination of the "modern" roller derby movement that began in the early 2000s, I explore Women's Flat Track Derby in Florida. What does it mean to be a roller derby player? How is she conceptualized and commodified? Or more centrally, how is third wave feminism used as a catalyst of this commodification? In order to fully appreciate, understand, and even embrace roller derby, I look at roller derby leagues as social movement organizations (SMOs) in order to note how they frame themselves and maintain collective identity the commodification of third wave feminism. First, I will explore various facets of the "modern" roller derby movement by way of gender, sexuality, and youth as central themes of roller derby culture and identity. Second, I note how roller derby utilizes rhetoric associated with third wave feminism. Third, I examine how roller derby is conceptualized as a social movement and while doing so note the charity organizations that various leagues support. I go on to explore how cultural capital is used in roller derby as a way to create insider knowledge while appropriating third wave feminism. Finally, I will look at how all aspects of roller derby I discussed illuminate a critique of third wave feminism. It is through these facets that I illustrate how the modern flat track roller derby employs third wave feminist rhetoric to produce and commodify the roller derby player identity.

This thesis investigates the turn to a neo-revivalist Muslim identity in the West as a form of self-othering. The binary dichotomy of self and other is used as a framework for the apparent divide between Muslims and the West. Second and third-generation disapora neo-revivalists personalise religion and through their hermeneutics seek an expression of religion that transcends cultural practice. They self-other in a way reactionary to society, and also react to the religion of their parents’ generation, which for them is not spiritual enough and instead is too steeped in cultural practices. Secularism and the post-secular turn is considered in Western society to provide context to the West that these neo-revivalists are located within. The diversity of Muslims is investigated to contextualise the neo-revivalist shift, which rather than being tolerant of diversity amongst Muslims seeks a separation of culture from religion. As second- and third-generation diaspora Muslims are the children of Muslim migrants to the West, the inter-generational divide is investigated. First-generation migrants have a continuity to their religious expression based on their experiences within the country of origin, whereas second- and third-generation migrants engage in a re-negotiation process to enable their religiosity to be relevant to Western societies. Qualitative case studies relating to the performance of religious identity, that is necessarily public, are utilised from Britain and the United States to further contextualise neo-revivalism. Literary mediation and mediatisation are examined in the context and globalisation. Contemporary literature is utilised to consider the self-critique of issues relating to integration and assimilation of Muslims in Western society by Muslims in Western societies. These cosmopolitan voices provide an internal understanding of the issues involved. Media-technologies have enabled a wide range of discourses to circulate about the current geopolitic following ‘9/11’ and Muslims themselves have utilised these mediated-technologies, and as such, neo-revivalism is necessarily a product of time, place and circumstance. Finally, a conclusion is reached and in seeking to understand the neo-revivalist turn and the place of Muslims in the West, a cosmopolitan ethic of integration is proposed that seeks to turn away from essentialisations and binary oppositions, but instead, through an engagement in respectful and reflexive critical dialogue, it is hoped that our shared universal humanity may be realised.
