<p> </p><p>Tanken med denna uppsats är att försöka få en inblick i vilka funktioner musiken fyller i TV-dramat. Det finns en del studier att tillgå om filmmusik men ytterst lite om just musik inom TV-serier. Mitt syfte är således att undersöka vad för slags musik som används i TV-dramer, i vilka sammanhang den förekommer och dess relation i förhållande till det som utspelar sig i bild. Utöver det tar jag delvis upp diskussioner om huruvida vi ska uppfatta filmmusik medvetet eller inte. I och med det har viss vikt lagts vid att studera eventuella skillnader i upplevelsen och användandet av instrumentalmusik och populärmusik.</p><p> </p><p>Till mitt arbete har jag använt mig av tidigare forskning kring filmmusik och gjort en jämförande analys av polisserierna <em>Miami Vice</em> och <em>Life on Mars</em>. Åtta avsnitt ur varje serie har studerats och därefter har ett representativt avsnitt från respektive TV-drama valts ut för en fördjupad analys. Min uppfattning utifrån studien är att instrumentalmusik och populärmusik i de flesta fall används i liknande sammanhang. Dessa kan exempelvis vara att ge en känsla av atmosfär, understryka en karaktärs känslor, ge tittaren information som inte kan utläsas utifrån enbart bilderna och bidra med kontinuitet. Populärmusik kan i somliga fall vara ett bra alternativ till instrumentalmusik för att vi ska hålla kvar vårt fokus på bilderna. Men populärmusikens främsta funktion i de undersökta serierna är som tidsmarkör för den period handlingen utspelar sig i.</p><p> </p>

Penser le rapport entre la politique, l'économie et la société civile de Hobbes à Mandeville, c'est traiter l'individu et les différentes transformations qu'il subit ; c'est-à-dire penser l'individu dans l'état naturel, dans l'état social et selon ses fonctions économiques. Chez Hobbes, pour arriver à un individualisme complet, il faut passer par un renoncement aux pouvoirs et aux facultés naturels de l'individu dans le cadre d'un état civil dans lequel le bien particulier s'accorde avec le bien commun; les biens des particuliers s'expriment en termes de propriété. Chez Mandeville le passage du naturel au social s'explique par le principe d'adaptation spontanée de l'individu à la nécessité de la production économique. Mandeville établit, contrairement à Hobbes, que l'harmonie des intérêts est involontaire et objective. D'où, l'homme économe de Mandeville est identifié par le travail ; pour Hobbes c'est le contrat qui permet de déterminer les premiers traits de l'individu économe. Dans ces deux ordres économiques différents, une théorie, que j'appelle " économico-individualiste ", est ainsi nécessaire pour expliquer, comprendre et déterminer d'une part l'artificialisme de Hobbes, d'autre part, le hasard et la spontanéité de Mandeville.

L'objectif de cette thèse est d'analyser la façon dont les pratiques picturales des Andes coloniales se nouent et se dénouent autour d'une « matière » européenne. La nature d'un tableau répond à des exigences politiques occidentales (l'évangélisation des Indigènes) mais sa fonction va progressivement être démembrée au profit d'une peinture qui s'américanise.C'est d'abord en étudiant le contexte artistique de l'Europe des XVIe et XVIIe siècles, ses pratiques ainsi que ses transferts humains et matériels dans la vice-royauté péruvienne que l'on peut par la suite juger des différences, des nouveautés, mais aussi des transgressions des oeuvres produites sur place, la dimension régionale étant l'un des premiers facteurs de ces changements. Les médiateurs de cette circulation, acteurs sociaux et vecteurs de nouveaux codes, redéfinissent les qualités du peintre indien qui met un terme définitif à sa condition de « main d'oeuvre » pour devenir un artiste indépendant.Alors que tout porterait à croire que l'Espagne refuse l'américanisation de cette peinture, les fondements théoriques de l'art occidental sont pourtant à l'origine de formes et de thèmes nouveaux qui caractérisent essentiellement le XVIIIe siècle andin. L'adoption d'un système iconographique européen par des peintres principalement métis et indiens permet paradoxalement la réappropriation d'un support longtemps utilisé comme un objet de domination, de soumission et de contrôle de la part des autorités espagnoles. / This thesis aims to analyse the way pictorial practices of the colonial Andes are formed and dissolved around a “European matter”. The nature of a painting complies with occidental political requirements (the evangelisation of the Indigenous) but its function will be progressively “dismembered” in favour of a painting which is becoming Americanised.The regional dimension being one of the factors of these changes, we will first study the artistic context of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. Through the study of its practices and also its human and material transfers in the Peruvian viceroyalty, we can thereafter judge of the differences, the innovations, but also the transgressions of the artworks made on site. The mediators of this circulation, the social actors and the carriers of new codes, redefine the qualities of the Indian painter who put a definitive end to his condition of “labour” to become an independent artist.While we could be led to believe that Spain refuses the Americanisation of this form of painting, yet the theoretical foundations of Western art are at the starting point of forms and new themes which essentially characterise Andean’s 18th century. The adoption of a European iconographic system, mostly by mixed-race and Indian painters, paradoxically allows the reapropriation of a medium used for a long time by the Spanish authorities, as an object of domination, submission, and control.

In a few exceptions, our representatives often behave in the exercise of power as if they were there to care for their own interests and not public affairs. Despite the dissatisfaction that the situation seems to trigger to society, the electorate does not get to transform their anger into effective gesture in order to withdraw from the public setting people who can not fulfill their mandate at the polls. Instead, the re-election of bad politicians has become commonplace fact. In this study, we proposed to discuss the matter in light of traditional philosophical theories, by selecting exponents of ethical thought from the Ancient Period to the Modern. We put special emphasis on behalf of amorality in Florentine thinker's ideas, to Machiavelli s political doctrine. / Lamentavelmente, a pol?tica brasileira caracteriza-se pela falta de ?tica. Ressalvadas algumas poucas exce??es, nossos representantes costumam comportar-se no exerc?cio do poder como se ali estivessem para cuidar dos pr?prios interesses e n?o da coisa p?blica. A despeito da insatisfa??o que a situa??o parece provocar junto ? boa parte da sociedade, o eleitorado n?o consegue transformar sua indigna??o em gesto efetivo no sentido de retirar da cena p?blica pessoas que n?o sabem honrar o mandato recebido nas urnas.

Neste estudo, propusemo-nos a discutir o assunto ? luz das teorias filos?ficas tradicionais, selecionando expoentes do pensamento ?tico do Per?odo Antigo at? o Moderno.

Penser le rapport entre la politique, l’économie et la société civile de Hobbes à Mandeville, c’est traiter l’individu et les différentes transformations qu’il subit ; c’est-à-dire penser l’individu dans l’état naturel, dans l’état social et selon ses fonctions économiques. Chez Hobbes, pour arriver à un individualisme complet, il faut passer par un renoncement aux pouvoirs et aux facultés naturels de l’individu dans le cadre d’un état civil dans lequel le bien particulier s’accorde avec le bien commun; les biens des particuliers s’expriment en termes de propriété. Chez Mandeville le passage du naturel au social s’explique par le principe d’adaptation spontanée de l’individu à la nécessité de la production économique. Mandeville établit, contrairement à Hobbes, que l’harmonie des intérêts est involontaire et objective. D’où, l’homme économe de Mandeville est identifié par le travail ; pour Hobbes c’est le contrat qui permet de déterminer les premiers traits de l’individu économe.

This means, analyzing the individual in he undergoes social state along with his economic functions. According to Hobbes , in order to reach complete individualism we need to go through the process of loosing powers and natural faculties of the individual within the framework of civil state in which the particular good fits the community properties; individual goods are manifested within the concept of property. Contrary to Hobbes, Mandeville states that the harmony of interests is involuntary and objective. Results from the unique interlacing of our national acts, according to Hobbes it’s the contract that determines the first features of the saving individual.

This study compares an effective school and ineffective school, in terms of how internal leadership and management of each school contribute its effectiveness. As a result, the study explores why one of two schools located within the same socio-economic environment, funded uniformly and controlled by the government at same levels of commitments is effective, while the other seems ineffective. Therefore, this thesis raises questions to know how internal school stakeholders’ leadership and management practices contribute to school effectiveness in each of the schools. A comparison was undertaken by firstly exploring how school leadership and management practices of School Leadership and Management Teams (SLMT) and secondly, understanding how teachers’ classroom leadership and management contribute to school effectiveness respectively. Therefore, in an attempt to answer the main research question: How do leadership and management dynamics contribute to school effectiveness? Other identified sub-questions were raised. Furthermore, a review of relevant literature uncovered what makes good and quality school leadership, management and; classroom leadership and management in ensuring school effectiveness. Data was collected from identified key role players within the two sampled schools. They include a school principal, vice-principal, Head of Departments (HOD), a teacher and classroom student leader (class captain) each, making-up a total of ten participants in the study - (five participants from each school). The researcher utilised one-on-one semi-structured interview, observations and document analysis or review in order to obtain rich qualitative data. By adopting the a-priori approach of data analysis, codes were generated manually from the interviews, observations and documents analysis/reviewed and measured against identified school leadership and management and; classroom leadership and management sub-themes/criteria in the literature reviewed in this study. From the data obtained, analysed and discussed, it was found that School A was exceptional in terms of leadership and management practises compared to School B. Although School A and B showed similar, but negligible characteristics in school planning, organising, management of change and; coordination of school teaching and learning, School A’s strength in terms of management of the school, lies in its availability of school policy on teaching, decision-making, delegating, control, motivating, communicating, management of interpersonal relationships, school climate, culture, change, management of conflict and school school-community relationships. In addition, even though School A and B teacher exhibited similar elements like, teaching methods ability, planning of their teaching and they both lack written classroom policy in their classroom leadership and management practices, differences like classroom leadership, motivation, communication, classroom climate and control exhibited by School A teacher during teaching and learning makes him far better, in comparison to School B teacher. Conclusively, the exceptional leadership and management practices by the School Leadership and Management (SLMT) of School A and its teacher in comparison to School B brought about multiplicity of other findings in this study. In the overall, it is believed that the interrelatedness of the exceptional leadership and management behaviour and practices of school A SLMT and teacher, is a consequence of the culture of the school, which has been built and maintained over the years and thus, influenced its climate in contributing to school effectiveness. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Education Management and Policy Studies / unrestricted

The main goal of this diploma thesis was to create web applications for issuer, verifier and revocation authority of revocable keyed-verification anonymous credentials system. Applications created in this thesis provide functions for all tasks, that are performed by each entity. Using these applications a global management of RKVAC system is possible. Authentication module created in verifier’s app is universaly usable for access control to any web service. Both issuer’s and revocation authority’s app are compatible with whole RKVAC system and are therefor applicable as central elements of systems.

Erik Jurjen Duintjer Tebbens, Ph.D. Title of diploma thesis: Mathematics and implementations of physiologically based phar- macokinetic modeling The thesis addresses some basic aspects of pharmacokinetic modeling, which is used to describe pharmacokinetic processes. Understanding these processes is important for example to determine optimal concentrations of drugs dosing. The thesis focuses on mathematical proofs of a number of pharmacokinetic equa- tions, which are often not given in standard books. The derived equations are illustrated with numerical experiments for a particular drug in the software PharmCalcCl and MAT- LAB. 4
