This thesis attempts to outline Calvin's practice of evangelisation in the period 1555-64 and to identify the theological basis for this activity as it is expressed in his works. It is argued that during the last ten years of his life Calvin was preoccupied with the propagation of the Gospel in France and western Europe and that echoes of this preoccupation may be discerned in his publications dating from this period. There are three parts to the thesis. Part I is chiefly historical and has two aims. The first is to convey, by a detailed study of the primary sources (including unpublished ecclesiastical correspondence), the full extent of the evangelistic enterprise which arose in Geneva after 1555 and of Calvin's role in it. The second is to show that a series of Lectures on the Old Testament Prophets which Calvin gave in 'the school' at Geneva was addressed to people caught up in this missionary endeavour and is to be read in this light. Part I concludes by identifying two themes which permeate these and other related theological expositions: 'the progress of the Kingdom of Christ 1 and 'the restoration (or reformation) of the Church'. The missionary content of these themes is established in Parts II and III of the thesis, which are consequently more theological. The sustained parallel between Part II of the thesis (which is devoted to the ecclesiological aspects of these themes) and Part III (which is devoted to their soteriological aspects) bears witness to the close connection between ecclesiology and soteriology which is characteristic of Calvin's thought about evangelisation. The identification and elucidation of this parallel is perhaps the single most important contribution made by this thesis.

The role of mission educational enterprises in developing territories during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has been examined in recent years. The relationship between mission schools and social, political and religious change has been reviewed in case studies of African, Asian and Pacific nations. The New Hebrides provides a unique opportunity to study the development of mission education policies in a territory in which government assistance and control over education was completely absent. On most of the islands of the New Hebrides group, the history of education from 1848 to 1948 is the history of Presbyterian Mission education.The New Hebrides Presbyterian Mission possessed neither the resources nor the policies necessary for the task of providing a broadly based national education system. Yet for more than a century, civil administrations left the entire responsibility for the provision of education in the hands of the Christian missions. The Presbyterian Mission willingly accepted this responsibility. It regarded education as an integral and essential part of its three-fold programme of evangelism, healing and teaching.(For complete abstract open document)

This dissertation is an historical and theological analysis of the Sinner's Prayer. Chapter 1 introduces the topic, provides an example of the Sinner's Prayer, and proposes the importance of this study. The methodology and limitations of the study are also discussed. Chapter 2 traces the history of evangelism from New Testament times. Significant movements and persons are discussed as they have importance for the development of a theology and methodology of evangelism that lead the way to the introduction of the Sinner's Prayer. Gospel tracts receive attention because they are representative of the popular approaches to evangelism. The case presented is that the Sinner's Prayer originated in the early twentieth century as a result of efforts to simplify and reproduce methods in evangelism. Billy Graham is given primary credit for popularizing the prayer. Chapter 3 provides a theological analysis of the Sinner's Prayer. The doctrine of prayer is discussed. Biblical soteriology receives significant attention. Theological objections that have been raised regarding the Sinner's Prayer are also discussed. Theological correctives are offered to those who will continue to use the prayer as a tool in evangelism. Chapter 4 discusses the use of methods in evangelism, noting limitations, dangers, and ethical considerations. This chapter stresses the need for reform in the way the Sinner's Prayer is typically used. This work contends that the Sinner's Prayer is of recent origin. It reflects the theological and methodological shift in evangelism that occurred during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Theologically, most versions of the Sinner's Prayer fail to reflect the biblical directives for salvation. In the manner in which it is typically use, the prayer has become a barrier to effective evangelism. If evangelists will continue to make use of the prayer, reform is critical.

The monitoring of project-oriented business processes is difficult because their state is fragmented and represented by the progress of different documents and artifacts being worked on. This observation holds in particular for software development projects in which various developers work on different parts of the software concurrently. Prior contributions in this area have proposed a plethora of techniques to analyze and visualize the current state of the software artifact as a product. It is surprising that these techniques are missing to provide insights into what types of work are conducted at different stages of the project and how they are dependent upon another. In this paper, we address this research gap and present a technique for mining the software process including dependencies between artifacts. Our evaluation of various open-source projects demonstrates the applicability of our technique.

This study intends to contribute to the debate on controversial aspects of the Social Work, focusing on the understanding of the profession, its advances as well as limits. A profession that is unthinkable outside the historical reality of the development of capitalism since its dawning, around the sixteenth century, its "uneven and mixed" progression spread throughout the globe, its inability to eliminate social differences, as well as deepening existing ones. Hence, the need to create mechanisms of intervention in this reality shows up, sugarcoating the historically determined aspects through actions with strong bonds of good will and religious charity. Thus, The Social work emerges as an institutionalized legal profession within the context of monopoly capitalism, where the imperialist era intensifies, and, with its development, stands as a theoretically positioned profession alongside the working class which many professionals share its values. However, the ideals, values, and critical positioning were confined amongst a restricted group of people and organizations, not reaching those professionals who actually work in the field. The organizations of the group usually make progressive speeches, which do not reach the professional base, consequently perpetuating every speech disconnected from the reality as well as those disciplinary talks to the professionals of the base without even trying to establish any dialogue between different ideas. They criticize the practice of the field professional, almost no longer being there, "on the trenches." Simultaneously, the academy closes itself, without further integration in everyday reality. There are people in the organizations and those others who participate in them, teachers and students of the academy resisting, struggling, standing closer to the professional base, but what sticks are the punishing and far from reality speeches / Essa pesquisa é fruto de uma jornada de reflexões no percurso acadêmico, referente ao modo da sociabilidade burguesa e seus desdobramentos, como o “chão histórico” da gênese do Serviço Social brasileiro e a inserção do pensamento de Marx na profissão. Busca contribuir para o debate quanto a aspectos polêmicos do Serviço Social, visando a compreensão da profissão, seus avanços e limites. Uma profissão que é impensável fora da realidade histórica do desenvolvimento do capitalismo desde a gênese deste por volta do século XVI, seus desdobramentos “desiguais e combinados” espalhados pelo globo terrestre, sua impossibilidade de eliminar as desigualdades e, ainda mais, inserindo outras formas e aprofundando as existentes. Surge assim, a necessidade de criar mecanismos de intervenção nessa realidade, acolchoando as características determinadas historicamente por meio de ações com fortes vínculos de bondade e caridade religiosa. Assim, o Serviço Social surge como profissão institucionalizada e legitimada legalmente, no contexto do capitalismo monopolista, onde a era imperialista se intensifica, e, com seu desenvolvimento, se coloca como profissão posicionada teoricamente ao lado da classe trabalhadora com a qual se identificam os profissionais da área. Entretanto, seus ideais, valores, posicionamento crítico se enclausuraram em um grupo restrito de pessoas e órgãos, não alcançando os profissionais que atuam nos serviços. Os órgãos da categoria realizam discursos progressistas, mas que não alcançam a base profissional, perpetuando assim, falas desconectadas da realidade e discursos punitivos aos profissionais da base sem ao menos dialogar com as diferentes ideias. Criticam o fazer da prática profissional, mas quase não estão mais no “chão real” da prática, “amassando barro”. Concomitantemente, a academia se fecha em si, sem aprofundar a inserção na realidade cotidiana. Existem pessoas dos órgãos e outras que participam deles, docentes e discentes da academia resistindo, travando lutas, estando mais próximos da base profissional, mas, o que se cristaliza são falas punitivas e discursos distantes da realidade

By means of the inquiry of production organization forms of the professional knowledge, it was possible to describe and to analyze historically the Senai`s consolidation phase in Ponta Grossa, PR. To initiate the research the survey of primary sources was done; subsequently the elaboration research of the state of knowledge, referring to the professional education, additionally, reading and articulation of bibliography which had already been produced on the subject, amongst which I detach: Cunha (1983); (1979); (2000); Kuenzer (1997); Ianni (1988); Senai (1995);Trevisan (1995) and the doctorate theses of Nascimento (2009); Muller (2009) The research presents the historical trajectory of Senai`s institutionalization in Brazil, Curitiba and the city of Ponta Grossa, PR, presenting the existing relations of mediation in the categories of analysis among state, education and work. The challenge of the research was to understand the historical relations for institutionalization of the Senai, in the city of Ponta Grossa, from a general understanding of its institutionalization in Brazil, later in the capital of the Paraná and finally in the related city. It was used to structuralize the research as methodological principle, the historical materialism, which considers the inquiry of the object searched from the reality and in the search to overcome the idealistic conceptions of history. This research was divided in three parts. Firstly, “The work and the professional education in Brazil”, secondly “the relations of the work and the professional education in the State of the Paraná” and the last “Economic relations, political and educational in the consolidation of the Senai in Ponta Grossa,PR”. From this is concluded that, the research contributed for the understanding and agreement of the intentions in the creation of the Senai in the Brazilian territory, which goal, in practical and objective way was to qualify professionals to fit the industrialist`s interests and unlike what the existing speeches in documents and reports, that happened in accordance with a specific social class and also related to political ideologies of the State. / O presente trabalho de pesquisa intitulado História, Trabalho e Educação: Ensino Profissionalizante do Senai Ponta Grossa, PR, foi desenvolvido na Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa no programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação – Stricto Sensu, na linha de pesquisa de História e Políticas Educacionais. A pesquisa teve como objetivo geral investigar e analisar as relações do trabalho com a educação profissionalizante do Senai, bem como analisar as mediações históricas inseridas neste contexto. Os objetivos específicos da pesquisa foram, analisar as transformações dos processos educacionais e de qualificação profissional, instituídos em fases históricas importantes para a consolidação de tal modalidade de ensino. Por meio da investigação das formas de organização da produção do conhecimento profissional, foi possível descrever e analisar historicamente a fase de consolidação do Senai em Ponta Grossa, PR. Para iniciar a pesquisa realizou-se o levantamento de fontes primárias; posteriormente a elaboração da pesquisa do estado do conhecimento, referente à educação profissional, além de, leitura e análise de bibliografias sobre o tema, dentre as quais destaco: Cunha (1983); (1979); (2000); Kuenzer (1997); Ianni (1988); Senai (1995);Trevisan (1995) e as teses de doutorado de Nascimento (2009) e Muller (2009). A pesquisa apresenta a trajetória histórica da institucionalização do Senai no Brasil, em Curitiba e no município de Ponta Grossa, PR, apresentando as relações de mediação existentes nas categorias de análise entre Estado, educação e trabalho. O desafio da pesquisa foi compreender as relações históricas para institucionalização do Senai, no município de Ponta Grossa, partindo de uma compreensão geral da sua institucionalização no Brasil, posteriormente na capital do Paraná e por último no referido município. Utilizou-se, para estruturar a pesquisa, como pressuposto metodológico o materialismo histórico, o qual propõe a investigação do objeto pesquisado a partir da realidade e na busca da superação das concepções idealistas da história. Esta pesquisa foi dividida em três partes sendo a primeira: “O trabalho e a educação profissional no Brasil”; a segunda: “As relações do trabalho e da educação profissional no Estado do Paraná”; e a última sobre as “Relações econômicas, políticas e educacionais na consolidação do Senai em Ponta Grossa, PR”. Conclui-se que a pesquisa contribuiu para compreensão e entendimento das intenções na criação do Senai no território brasileiro, cujo objetivo era, de maneira prática e objetiva qualificar profissionais para atender aos interesses dos industriários e que, ao contrário dos discursos presentes em documentos e relatórios, esta se deu de acordo com os interesses de uma determinada classe social atreladas também as ideologias políticas do Estado.

The objective was to assure economical advantages that guaranteed protection and to help against the foreign competition to improve the transport and to reduce the costs of the export of the eraser to the avid consuming markets of Europe. ACA was constituted like this as it legitimates representative of the interests of the patronage Amazonians before the society, producing a speech for your Magazine that sought to soften internal divergences and to organize strategies to assure the economical power and the political prestige of your members. Around the commercial institution the patronage, composed basically for the proprietors of the houses of trade, syringes owners and aviators, he knew how to elaborate an ideological project based on the uncertainties of the economy of the eraser at the beginning of the century XX and in the productive deficiency of the extrativismo of the eraser that guaranteed, above all, the largest control on the manpower adjusting her/ it to an organization model and efficiency based on the European models of production and I trade; that he/she had in the Portuguese element the ideal hard-working type, considered cheaper and orderly for the bourgeois pretensions. Seen by most of the authorities and of the bosses as an inferior class, the workers of the city of Manaus and mainly of the syringes of the interior they would be, according to the speeches of the Magazine of ACA (1908-1919), predisposed the vadiagem and to the mundane addictions for your rude and primitive nature, associated to the stigma of the indolence and of the incapacity of they manage your own lives. Therefore, it would be necessary that the patronage to act with the maximum of will and repression on the movements strikers and any other type of protest social expert as frolic act that disturbed your economical and political ambitions, even if such manifestations root justified for the poverty situation and hunger why still passed most of the workers in Belle Époque s called period / A Associação Comercial do Amazonas (ACA) foi criada em 1871, num momento em que o patronato precisava pressionar o Estado local e as empresas concessionárias dos serviços públicos para assegurar vantagens econômicas que garantissem proteção e ajudar contra a concorrência estrangeira e para melhorar o transporte e baratear os custos da exportação da borracha para os ávidos mercados consumidores da Europa. Assim a ACA constituía-se como legitima representante dos interesses do patronato amazonense perante a sociedade, produzindo um discurso pela sua Revista que visava amenizar divergências internas e organizar estratégias que assegurassem o poder econômico e o prestígio político de seus membros. Em torno da instituição comercial o patronato, composto basicamente pelos proprietários das casas de comercio, donos de seringais e aviadores, soube elaborar um projeto ideológico baseado nas incertezas da economia da borracha no começo do século XX e na deficiência produtiva do extrativismo da borracha que garantisse, acima de tudo, o maior controle sobre a força de trabalho ajustando-a a um modelo de organização e eficiência baseado nos modelos europeus de produção e comercio; que tinha no elemento português o tipo trabalhador ideal, considerado mais barato e ordeiro para as pretensões burguesas. Vistos pela maioria das autoridades e dos patrões como uma classe inferior, os trabalhadores da cidade de Manaus e principalmente dos seringais do interior estariam, conforme os discursos da Revista da ACA (1908-1919), predispostos a vadiagem e aos vícios mundanos pela sua natureza rude e primitiva, associada ao estigma da indolência e da incapacidade de gerirem suas próprias vidas. Logo, seria necessário que o patronato agir-se com o máximo de arbítrio e repressão sobre os movimentos grevistas e qualquer outro tipo de protesto social entendido como ato de baderna que atrapalhava suas ambições econômicas e políticas, mesmo que tais manifestações fossem justificadas pela situação de miséria e fome por que passava a maioria dos trabalhadores ainda no período chamado de Belle Époque
