We undertook efforts to investigate the social practice of the School Life of adult students who attend the Novo Horizonte School located in rural settlement called Santa Helena in São Carlos city - São Paulo state - and we seek to answer which educational processes are emerging from this social practice. To understand how seated teenagers and adults are educated regarding the social practice of the School Life; to describe those educational process and to analyze the meanings of this social practice in the life of its participants, we opted to utilize a methodological approach with a qualitative focus guided by a participative research. To collect the data, we used informal notes, informal chats and semi-structured interviews. As a result of this study, we identified that: participate in the struggle for a place to live is a way to educate; the absent of schooling does not mean the removal of fundamental knowledge for the life of the settlers of Santa Helena; the school life is configured as an important tool for strengthening the bonds of those who attends the literacy room of Novo Horizonte school, identified as a place for meetings and for the promotion of sociability; the field requires a different kind of school that promotes sociability of their subjects and respect their way of life, which should serve as a basis for their schooling. We hope that this work provokes new reflections about the social practice of the School Life and the way of life of men and women in rural settlements and, from these considerations, the resizing of new and other pedagogical approaches that consider their social and political reality and perceptions, desires and educational needs of these individuals. / O presente trabalho surgiu em decorrência de várias inquietações que marcaram a vida pessoal e profissional da pesquisadora. Nele empreendemos esforços para investigar a prática social do Convívio Escolar de pessoas adultas que freqüentam a Escola Novo Horizonte situada no Assentamento Rural Santa Helena, na cidade de São Carlos - SP, e buscamos responder que processos educativos emergem dessa prática social. Com o objetivo de compreender como os jovens e adultos assentados se educam tomando como base a prática social do Convívio Escolar; descrever esses processos educativos e analisar os significados dessa prática social para a vida dos seus participantes, optou-se por uma abordagem metodológica de caráter qualitativo direcionada pela pesquisa participante. Para coleta dos dados utilizamos como instrumentos o Diário de Campo; a Roda de Conversa e Entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Como resultados desse estudo, identificamos que: participar da luta pela terra educa; a não escolarização, não significa a destituição de saberes fundamentais para a vida dos assentados e assentadas do Santa Helena; o convívio escolar configura-se como ferramenta importante para o fortalecimento dos vínculos daqueles e daquelas que frequentam a sala de alfabetização da Escola Novo Horizonte, identificada como lugar de encontro e promoção da sociabilidade; o campo exige um outro tipo de escola, que promova a sociabilidade dos seus sujeitos e o respeito aos seus modos de vida, que deve servir como base para a sua escolarização. Esperamos que esse trabalho provoque novas reflexões sobre a prática social do Convívio Escolar e os modos de vida dos homens e mulheres em contextos de assentamentos rurais e, a partir de tais reflexões, o redimensionamento de novas e outras propostas pedagógicas que levem em conta a sua realidade social e política, bem como as percepções, desejos e necessidades educativas desses sujeitos.

What does «the right to live the process of dying with dignity» mean in Spanish law?Different recent regulatory developments in Spanish legal system are analyzed in this article concerning person’s rights at the end of its life. In particular, the author attempts to explain the enigmatic sense of the new expression “the right to live the process of dying with dignity” and beyond its current configuration as a “legal” right—more than a constitutional one—. Also attempts to catalogue it as a new fundamental right. / Se analizan en este texto diversos desarrollos normativos recientes en el ordenamiento jurídico español respecto de los derechos de la persona en el tramo final de su vida. En particular, se intenta aclarar el enigmático sentido de la emergente expresión «derecho a vivir con dignidad el proceso de la muerte» y, más allá de su actual configuración como derecho «legal» más que «constitucional», su posible catalogación como nuevo derecho fundamental.

Las manifestaciones narrativas sobre la violencia política y el derecho a la vida en el marco del Conflicto Armado Interno (CAI) peruano (1980-2000) están compuestas por formas plurales y diversas que conforman un sistema de valores de gran importancia en la vida pública. Esto da origen al problema abordado en la presente investigación, que recoge las narrativas de egresados/as de la Carrera de Comunicación y Periodismo de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, entre el 2015 y el 2019, para explorar las formas específicas y particulares con las que este grupo construye sus actitudes hacia la violencia política y sus valoraciones sobre el derecho a la vida en el contexto del mencionado periodo. Uno de los propósitos de esta tesis es mostrar la utilidad del rol reflexivo de los periodistas en torno a sus propias percepciones acerca de la violencia, como una práctica esencial para el tratamiento responsable de dicho tema en el ejercicio periodístico. El diseño de la investigación está regido por un enfoque cualitativo de tipo inductivo. Este propone enriquecer los conceptos orientadores, definidos con apoyo de la literatura, a través de los datos empíricos recogidos por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas a profundidad. La orientación metodológica se apoya en la etnometodología, cuyos fundamentos son una guía en el estudio de las prácticas usadas por los y las informantes en la construcción narrativa de sus concepciones sobre la violencia. El concepto de narrativas es transformado ante los resultados obtenidos. Estas demuestran ser elaboraciones en situación, construidas como respuesta a la interacción de la entrevista. La reflexividad —proceso asumido como tácito por los sujetos, a través del cual construyen y hacen observables sus métodos para interpretar la violencia— es un hallazgo clave. Las narrativas toman direcciones diversas y plurales según los grados de reflexividad generados ante la interacción entre entrevistados/as y entrevistadora. El proceso reflexivo influye en la formación de los estilos narrativos hallados. El relato de la identificación simpática y el relato funcional despliegan una reflexividad circunscrita por objetivos, lo que deriva en la construcción de concepciones sobre la violencia basadas en fórmulas preestablecidas, con actitudes y valoraciones en permanente alternancia de posturas. Un tercer estilo muestra una interacción que desarrolla un proceso progresivo de reflexividad que da a lugar a la formación de una narrativa alternativa, con percepciones hacia sobre la violencia política y el derecho a la vida que siguen una permanente evolución en el transcurso de la interacción. Las formas narrativas, entonces, están marcadamente vinculadas a los grados de reflexividad desarrollados como respuesta a cada interacción. / The narratives on political violence and the right to life regarding the internal armed conflict, which happened in Peru between 1980 and 2000, are made of plural and diverse points of view, which constitute an extremely important value system in public life. Such scenario is the origin of this research, which collects the narratives of Journalism graduates from Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC), between 2015 and 2019, in order to explore specific and particular forms used by this group to build up their attitudes towards political violence and their appreciations on the right to live in the context of the aforementioned armed conflict. One of the main purposes of this thesis is to prove the utility of the reflective role of journalists on their own perceptions of violence as an essential praxis for the responsible treatment of such a subject as professionals. The research design is based on a qualitative approach of inductive kind. This aims to enrich the orientation concepts defined by supporting bibliography for empirical data collected through in-depth interviews. The methodology is supported by ethnomethodology, which bases on a guide in the study of practices used by the informers in the narrative construction of their own conceptions about violence. The concept of ‘narrative’ changes due to the results. The narratives prove to be constructions in a specific context, produced as an answer during the interview. Reflexivity —a process that the subjects assume as implicit, through which they make and show their methods to depict violence— is a key discovery. The narratives take diverse and plural directions according to the degree of reflection generated by the interaction between the researcher and the subjects interviewed. Consequently, the aforementioned thought process influences the production of the narrative styles we found. The narration of the sympathetic identification and the functional narrative show a reflection defined by objectives, which leads to the construction of thoughts on violence based on established formulas, with a permanently mutation of attitudes and appreciations. A third style shows an interaction that develops a progressive process of reflexivity that allows the formation of an alternative narrative, whose perceptions of political violence and the right to live maintain a permanent evolution during the interaction. The narrative ways, then, are remarkably linked to the degrees of reflexivity developed as an answer to each interaction. / Tesis

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority introduced new guidelines and regulations on March 1, 2019. These regulations induced Swedish banks and other creditors to consider future events as a mean to improve their ability to determine the risk of debtors. A forecast generator was created as a tool to accomplish this. The constraints of this thesis limited the forecast generator to mortgages with four parameters: loss of income, pension, foreign currency and depreciation. The forecast generator was created by combining components of Vitec Capitex's existing mortgage calculator as well as by adding new components. The new components were utilized in advancing loans and budgets in time, as well as calculating a suitable income insurance in the case of a loss of income. Furthermore, the forecast generator could approximate the pension a debtor would receive when retired. The forecast generator could calculate the economic situation of debtors after a future event took place such as a loss of income or an early or late retirement. A suitable income insurance would prevent a debtor from insolvency in the case of an income loss. / Finansinspektionen införde nya riktlinjer och föreskrifter den 1 mars 2019. Dessa föreskrifter anvisade banker och andra borgenärer att ha ett framåtblickande perspektiv för att förbättra deras förmåga att bedöma gäldenärers risk. En beräkningsmotor skapades som ett verktyg för att genomföra detta. Avgränsningarna för denna avhandling begränsar beräkningsmotorn till konsumenter som köper bostadskrediter med fyra parametrar: inkomstbortfall, pension, utländsk valuta och värdeminskning. Beräkningsmotorn skapades genom att kombinera komponenter från Vitec Capitex's existerande beräkningsmotor samt genom att lägga till nya komponenter. De nya komponenterna användes för att beräkna lån och budget för gäldenärer över tid, samt beräkna en passande inkomstförsäkring utifrån ett inkomstbortfall. Vidare kunde beräkningsmotorn approximera en pensionsinkomst efter gäldenären gått i pension. Beräkningsmotorn kunde även beräkna den ekonomiska situationen för gäldenärer efter en framtida händelse inträffat som inkomstbortfall eller en tidig pension. En lämplig inkomstförsäkring skulle skydda en gäldenär från obestånd ifall ett inkomstbortfall inträffat.

Status and Role of New Human Rights in International Law This diploma thesis compares three methods which have been used so far in the creation of new human rights in international law. The first chapter establishes the theory of the creation of new human rights in international law. It is claimed that all new human rights have been created by one of the following three methods: the adoption of an international treaty; the interpretation of an internetional treaty; or the adoption of a declaration. The second chapter provides definitions of a notion of human rights and determines a notion of new human rights as those rights which are not expressed in the International Bill of Human Rights. The distinction of human rights by generations is rejected. The third chapter summarizes the sources of international human rights law, which are international treaties, international custom and general principles of international law. Further, the third chapter shows the significance of peremptory norms and soft law instruments for international human rights. The fourth chapter deals with the first method of creating new human rights, i.e. adoption of international treaty. This method is presented through the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the right to live in community. The formulation...

Catholic educational leaders serve as the primary faith leaders in their school community and remain influential in the public discourse of Catholic education. As insiders understanding the contextual educational landscape, and who are at the forefront of renewal and change within their own school communities, Catholic educational leaders are critical in providing an account and understanding of how their lived experience contributed to the formation of their Catholic identity. Through their daily interactions with parents, students, stakeholders, politicians, and community, their ability to articulate their Catholic identity as a school leader is imperative for the broader understanding of Catholic education. This study, grounded in narrative inquiry methodology, explored the question “What is the lived experience of Catholic educational leaders in relation to shaping, informing, and influencing the conceptual formation of Catholic identity in 21st century schools?” This question resonates with the necessity to better understand how Catholic identity is lived authentically within Catholic schools for leaders who are entrusted with leading a diverse faith community. Four Catholic educational leaders share their stories of experience, working within a relational three-dimensional space of temporality, sociality, and place as key considerations of inquiry. By living, reliving, telling, and retelling their stories to live by, threads of coherence and continuity link their personal, professional, and spiritual landscape. Participant findings generated four organizing categories: Catholic identity, Catholic education, Catholic leadership, and relationships. Each category was subsequently framed with additional sub-categories to further develop and deepen Catholic identity as a storied landscape of experience within the framework of the three- dimensional narrative inquiry. Navigating this inquiry space gave rise to contradictions and tensions surrounding the articulation and expression of Catholic identity the difficult and complex role of Catholic educational leadership, the turmoil of an educational landscape that is challenging the relevance of Catholic education, and the dynamic and every evolving influence relationships have on faith formation. To both insiders and outsiders of Catholic education, this study illuminates a better understanding of how Catholic educational leaders shape, form, and influence the conceptual formation of their Catholic identity in 21st century schools. It also provides a lens to view how diversity and unity of Catholic identity is constructed and understood narratively. / Graduate

The dissertation thesis focuses on independent local lists (ILLs) in local elections in the Czech Republic. The research approaches the issue from various views. It studies formation of independent local lists in five specific towns, cities: Brno, Brno, Mnichovo Hradiště, Praha 10, Prachatice a Vodňany. It is related to ILLs: To Live Brno, We Live for Hradiště, the coalition Vlasta, Living Prachatice and the Vodňany for Change. Beside this five case studies, the research is dealing with topic of rising electoral support for ILLs in 27 statutory cities. The dissertation thesis is working with several theoretical concepts such as phenomenon of the cartel party, anti-party sentiments, non-political politics and development of political participation. The thesis is answering the question of how are the ILLs formed in relation to engagement of their representatives in civil society. According to my thesis, organization of civil society are more inclusive and open for participation than political parties. But this participation, outside political institution has its limits. These limits are reasons for forming independent local lists and pursuing political office. The paper also presents a typology of lists that allows for more in depth research and distinction between ILLs and political parties. It is...

In the stories of olden times and in those of our own American Indians, we learned of the picture writing of primitive peoples. It became an early method of recording people's thoughts. This was a very useful method at a time when the race was young. This in turn was the beginning of our alphabet, later the beginning of shaping letters into words, and then word into sentences and paragraphs. As our world has grown older, new idea have come into use and we are no longer content to live as our grandparents lived. We travel by fast express trains, high powered auto- mobiles, airplanes, or zeppelins. The radio gives us the news before our papers containing it are on the street. are not able to talk with people on the other side of the world. Business men find this a very valuable means of doing business when time means money. The motion pictures bring us the story of the book we have not had time to read and the characters from its pages talk to us from the screen. In short, we must have quicker ways of doing things.
