Adotou-se como referencial teórico elementos da Teoria Geral dos Campos de Pierre Bourdieu conjugado com proposições de Max Weber sobre racionalidade da gestão econômica. Este procedimento foi possível pela ênfase que os autores dão a questão dos conflitos entre interesses antagônicos dos agentes sociais. Isto permitiu propor a explicação do SNCR como uma proposta política de modernização do setor agrícola brasileiro que tem a origem de seus conflitos e disputas em um antagonismo de interesses construídos sobre diferentes percepções econômicas. Este estudo adota a pesquisa documental e bibliográfica e entrevistas presenciais semiestruturadas como procedimento analítico. Tratamos basicamente das duas principais “crenças econômicas” no crédito rural como sendo derivadas de diferentes padrões de racionalidade econômica. Estas geram lógicas de atuação, ou estratégias, de disputa sobre a forma e finalidade do financiamento que seguiu a trajetória prescrita por Max Weber, no sentido do desenrolar histórico ser na direção de uma gradual racionalização formal em detrimento das expectativas dos agentes valorativos, submetidos as forças mais amplas da política econômica nacional, situação típica de sociedades modernas. A análise ressalta uma oposição previsível entre, de um lado, os agentes portadores de uma racionalidade formal ligados às autoridades monetárias controladoras das fontes de recursos da política de crédito. Por isso conseguiam submeter o SNCR as diretrizes da política macroeconômica tornando o crédito rural um subcampo extremamente susceptível as conjunturas macroeconômicas. A força e legitimidade dos “formalistas” derivavam dos argumentos técnicos de cunho fiscal e monetário. São os indivíduos ligados a esse grupo que conseguiram predominância dentro do BB e transitaram com maior facilidade entre governo e banco, tornando os funcionários “valorativos” quadros anacrônicos da instituição. De outro lado, os agentes mais valorativos orbitavam em torno da política agrícola, principalmente, as organizações ruralistas que formavam grupos de pressão junto aos parlamentares ligados ao setor, que se utilizavam de maneira geral a noção de serviço público para manter as características econômicas do crédito rural. Nesse mercado representavam o papel de demandantes. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This study aims to understand how was the conflict between two different economic logics of rural credit in the period from 1965 to 1990 and assumptions which supported the search for legitimacy of logical and consequent control over policy guidelines for rural credit. It was adopted as theoretical elements of the General Theory of Fields of Pierre Bourdieu conjunction with Max Weber's propositions about rationality of economic management. This procedure was made possible by the emphasis that the authors give the issue of conflicts between antagonistic interests of social agents. This allowed propose the explanation of SNCR as a policy proposal to modernize the Brazilian agricultural sector which has the origin of conflicts and disputes in an antagonism of interests built on different economic perceptions. This study adopts the bibliographic and documentary research and semi-structured face to face interviews as analytical procedure. We deal basically the two main "economic beliefs" in rural credit as being derived from different patterns of economic rationality. These generate logics of action or strategies of dispute over the shape and purpose of the funding that followed the path prescribed by Max Weber, in the sense of unfolding history is toward a gradual rationalization rather formal agents' expectations evaluative, submitted the broader forces of national economic policy, a situation typical of modern societies. The analysis highlights a predictable opposition between; on the one hand, agents bearing a formal rationality linked monetary authorities controlling the sources of funds of the credit policy. So could submit the SNCR guidelines macroeconomic policy making rural credit a subfield extremely susceptible to macroeconomic conjunctures. The strength and legitimacy of the "formalist" derived from technical arguments of fiscal and monetary nature. Individuals are connected to this group who managed predominance within the BB and moved with ease between government and bank officials making "evaluative" frames anachronistic institution. On the other hand, the agents more evaluative orbited agricultural policy, especially ruralists organizations that formed pressure groups together parliamentarians linked to the sector, which used to be the general notion of public service to keep the economic characteristics of rural credit. In this market accounted for the role of plaintiff.

Global interest in using free trade agreements to expand trade, investment, integration and other linkages has expanded dramatically in the last twenty years. Australia is not alone in this development and has concluded Free Trade Agreements (FTA), with a number of countries, with little division or debate, within Australian society, about their merits. However, the announcement by the Australian Government in December 2000 of its intention to pursue an FTA with the United States ignited significant controversy in the Australian community and exposed deep concerns about the phenomenon of globalization and the future of Australian society. The ensuing debate revealed deep-seated divisions within Australian society. Utlilizing a combination of Weber’s class-based theory and liberal ideologies (economic, welfare and radical), this research intends to analyze public submissions made to the Australian Parliament Senate Select Committee on the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the United States (US) in an attempt to identify the reasons for the divisions within Australian society concerning the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA). It is expected the results will illuminate the challenges facing both governments and societies alike in a globalizing world and provide fruitful insights for policy makers in future trade negotiations.

Cette thèse porte sur le problème du ballottement d'un liquide dans un réservoir, rencontré dans le transport et le stockage du GNL par des structures flottantes. La prédiction des chargements réels, dus au ballotement sur les parois du réservoir, est souvent basée sur des études expérimentales à petite échelle. La modélisation expérimentale à petite échelle respecte la similitude de Froude et le rapport de densité entre le gaz et le liquide. Cependant, d’autres similitudes sont biaisées comme la similitude par rapport au nombre de Weber et la similitude par rapport au nombre de Reynolds. De plus, les pressions enregistrées montrent une grande variabilité quand le même essai est répété. Dans une première partie, différentes sources physiques responsables de cette variabilité sont discutées, à savoir les instabilités de surface libre, la retombée des gouttes et des jets liquides sur la surface libre, et la production et l'entraînement des bulles dans le liquide. En fait, ces phénomènes sont à l'origine des perturbations de l'écoulement, de la variabilité de la géométrie de la vague et de cette façon des pressions engendrées par cette dernière sur la paroi. D'autres mécanismes de dissipation d’énergie sont identifiés. Ils sont liés aux frottements aux parois et aux déferlements de vagues. Nous montrons que cette dissipation induit un effet mémoire à courte durée pour l’écoulement, permettant de reproduire pour chaque impact la distribution statistique des pics de pression avec une courte durée des excitations. Ces sources de variabilité et ces mécanismes de dissipation dépendent de la tension de surface et de la viscosité du liquide. Ainsi nous étudions dans une deuxième partie, les effets de ces paramètres physiques. Nous montrons que la forme locale de la vague dépend de la tension de surface. Par contre, les effets sur la forme globale de la vague sont négligeables. Plus la tension de surface diminue, plus les pics pression sont faibles. Ce qui est dû aux différents phénomènes liés au développement des ligaments, la fragmentation en gouttes et la génération de la mousse sur la crête de la vague, et à l’entraînement des bulles dans le liquide. Quant à la viscosité du liquide, elle affecte à la fois la forme globale et la forme locale de la vague, là encore les pressions sont modifiées. Cette étude paramétrique permet, dans une troisième partie, d'étudier et comprendre les effets du nombre de Weber et du nombre de Reynolds, en comparant les résultats pour deux échelles différentes 1:40 et 1:20, quand les mêmes fluides sont considérés. De plus, en se basant sur différents cas de comparaison avec la similitude de Reynolds et/ou la similitude de Weber, nous montrons que la double similitude est indispensable pour obtenir une forme de vague avant l'impact indépendante de l'échelle. Cependant, la distribution statistique des pics de pression dépend aussi d’autres nombres adimensionnels à savoir le nombre de Mach du liquide et le nombre de Mach du gaz. / This work focuses on sloshing problem, encountered in the transport and storage of LNG by floating structures. The prediction of real sloshing loads is often based on small-scale experimental studies, respecting the Froude similarity and the density ratio between the gas and the liquid. However, other similarities are biased such as the Weber similarity and the Reynolds similarity. In addition, the recorded pressures show great variability when the same test is repeated. In a first part, different physical sources responsible for this variability are discussed, which are the free surface instabilities, the falling droplets and liquid jets impinging on the free surface, and the liquid entrainment by bubbles. In fact, these phenomena are at the origin of the flow disturbances, the variability of the wave shape, and hence its pressures on the wall. Other dissipation mechanisms are identified. They are related to wall frictions and breaking waves. Thanks to this energy dissipation, we show that the flow is characterized by a short-term memory, making it possible to reproduce for each impact its statistical distribution of pressure peaks with a short duration of excitations. These sources of variability and dissipation mechanisms depend on the surface tension and the viscosity of the liquid. Thus, we study, in a second part, these physical parameters. We show that the local wave shape depends on the surface tension. However, its effects on the global wave shape are negligible. Besides, when the surface tension is reduced, the statistical pressures are reduced. This is due to various phenomena related to the development of liquid ligaments, their fragmentation into drops and the generation of foam at the wave crest, and the liquid entrainment by bubbles. As for the viscosity of the liquid, it affects both the local and global shape wave shapes, again the pressures are changed. Based on this parametric study, The effects of Weber number and Reynolds number are studied by comparing the results for two different scales 1:40 and 1:20, when the same fluids are used. Moreover, considering different cases of comparison with Reynolds number similarity and / or Weber number similarity, the results show that both similarities are essential to obtain a scaleindependent wave shape. However, the statistical distribution of pressure peaks also depends on other dimensionless numbers, namely the Mach number of the liquid and the Mach number of the gas.

This study was an examination of businesses that became big businesses in the United States during the time period between the years of 1861 and 1890, a period of time frequently referred to as the “big business era.” The purpose of the study was to identify actions taken by businesses that enabled them to become and remain big businesses. A secondary purpose of the study was to show that these actions were explained by theories of Karl Marx and Max Weber. The results of the study showed that businesses which took specific actions were able to become and remain big businesses and these actions were explained by the theories of Marx and Weber. The results of the study demonstrate the ability of classical sociological theory to explain macro-level social change.

Essa teologia é caracterizada como um tipo funcional de discurso sobre a fé e prosperidade financeira. Por meio de uma releitura bíblica que associa o legalismo religioso do Antigo Testamento com a confissão positiva, agrega elementos do sincretismo religioso, princípios de coaching e empreendedorismo. A TG é constituída por um conjunto de métodos, técnicas, conceitos e ações no cuidado religioso, objetivando atender, formar, angariar, supervisionar, controlar, treinar, orientar, motivar e vocacionar de forma contínua, racional, afetiva e espiritual seus seguidores. / Abstract: This thesis makes a analysis of the elements that constitute the new “ethos” of Brazilian neo-Pentecostalism, from the clergy and laity of the Sara Nossa Terra Church in the Federal District (DF). Based on the Weberian method, the research used participant observations, semi-structured interviews, survey and content analysis to understand the Exchange flows and management of the religious experience of members of Sara Nossa Terra Church. This institution is characterized as a neo-Pentecostal religious organization, well equipped technologically, with a professional and creative missionary activity. Its services and products are preferentially able to reach people of lower and upper middle class, in different age groups. It is based on the “cell” model, has a different ecclesiastical performance, demonstrating from its praxis the evidence of what I call in this thesis as “Theology of Management” (TM). This theology is characterized as a functional type of discourse on faith and financial prosperity. Through a biblical re-reading that associates Old Testament religious legalism with positive confession, it adds elements of religious syncretism, coaching principles and entrepreneurship. TM is made up of a set of methods, techniques, concepts and actions in religious care, aiming to attend, raise, supervise, control, train, guide, motivate and continuously, rationally, affectionately and spiritually support its followers. / Diese These macht eine Analyse der Elemente, die das neue "Ethos" der Neu-Pfingstbewegung in Brasilien ausmachen, anhand von den Klerikern und Laien der Sara-Nossa-Terra-Kirche im Bundesdistrikt (DF).

Presently, Planck’s constant is a fundamental constant that can not be derived from other onstants. Assis developed a model based on an extended Weber-type potential energy, that allows calculating gravitational-type forces from neutral oscillating electric dipoles. Here we show that the maximum possible point-mass in his model equals the Planck mass which allows us to derive Planck’s constant and the fine-structure constant. We match the exact order of magnitude only requiring a pre-factor that is present in all Weber-type theories and has to be determined empirically. This classical model allows to link electromagnetic, gravitational and quantum properties with one approach.

Rapporten syftar till att beskriva och problematisera kvalitet i idéburen, social välfärd. Ansatsen är att utmana antagandet att idéburen verksamhet drivs av goda intentioner och därför levererar omsorgstjänster av god kvalitet. Resultatet visar att idéburna organisationer erbjuds en särställning i välfärden tack vare sina särdrag. Genom Idéburna Offentliga Partnerskap (IOP) kan de undgå ordinarie kvalitetskrav, samtidigt som det saknas empiriska belägg för att särdragen leder till kvalitet. Idéburen omsorg är av god kvalitet enligt människors uppfattningar, men inte alltid enligt dess faktiska kvalitetsarbete. Rapporten är en teoretisk dokumentstudie och behandlar tidigare forskning, politiska skrivelser och partnerskapsdokument från IOP i en kommun. Resultatet har analyserats med stöd av Webers idealtyper. Författaren utgår från en kritisk rationalistisk grund och rapporten har två inriktningar. Dels är den en förberedande undersökning om kvalitet i idéburen välfärd, och dels är den en vetenskapsteoretisk reflektion och modellutveckling av Webers idealtyper. Rapporten kan därför läsas utifrån ett intresse för idéburen välfärdsverksamhet men även utifrån ett intresse för vetenskapsteori och metodologi.

Cette thèse vise à cerner les raisons historiques, intellectuelles et affectives de l’importance que reçoit le problème de la vulnérabilité individuelle dans la culture politique des sociétés modernes. Il s’agit de tenter de comprendre pourquoi et par le concours de quelles transformations normatives et structurelles nous en sommes venus, comme citoyens, à attendre de l’État qu’il nous protège des affres de l’existence. L’oeuvre philosophique de Thomas Hobbes, fondée sur une anthropologie individualiste où l’homme apparaît mû par deux affects, le désir et la crainte, nous paraît être la première formulation théorique de ce problème de la vulnérabilité, et à ce titre, nous posons qu’elle a été déterminante pour l’institutionnalisation d’une rationalité politique proprement moderne. De manière à saisir quelles ont pu être les conditions de possibilité de la philosophie de Hobbes, de même que son influence sur l’imaginaire politique occidental, il nous faut tenter de comprendre non seulement pourquoi l’affectivité humaine a pu se trouver ainsi posée comme enjeu du gouvernement, mais comment elle est aussi liée, de manière générale, au fonctionnement des institutions sociales, lequel est historiquement contingent. Il en va ainsi d’une interrogation, que nous poursuivrons dans un relevé des principaux concepts à l’aide desquels Sigmund Freud, Norbert Elias, Max Weber et Michel Foucault ont pensé les modalités du façonnement social et historique de la subjectivité, et par le biais de laquelle nous espérons expliquer pourquoi le « type d’homme » sur lequel s’appuie le régime libéral moderne implique le vécu d’une expérience affective marquée par un rapport tendu entre le désir et le sentiment de la vulnérabilité.

Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht den Wandel der sozialen Beziehungen zwischen Gutsherren, Instleuten, Bauern und unterbäuerlichen Schichten im Samland nach der "Bauernbefreiung". Vor dem Hintergrund soziologischer Konzeptionen von Macht und Herrschaft und philosophischer Theorien zu Freiheit und Gleichheit, wird der Verlauf dieser Beziehungen vom Feudalismus bis in die Neuzeit nachgezeichnet. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf den gesellschaftlichen Folgen der "Bauernbefreiung", denn durch die Aufhebung der Leibeigenschaft und Ablösung der Dienstpflichten entwickelte sich eine neue Gesellschaftsschicht: die Klasse der Landarbeiter.
