Bosí Augustiniáni v Čechách jako zadavatelé uměleckých děl od roku 1623 do reforem Josefa II. / Importance of discalced Augustinians as the art submitters in Bohemia between year 1623 and Joseph's II. reformsŠmilauerová, Adéla January 2016 (has links)
The introductory chapter fills a completely blank space concerning the history, organisation and spirituality of the Order of the Discalced Augustinians in the Czech context. The existing literature has so far only briefly outlined this topic; however, it cannot be explored with no knowledge of the 20th -century professional Italian research works or the preserved resources produced by the General Curia in Rome and the 18th century literature of the Order. The thesis also provides a general overview of the activities of the Czech mon asteries of the Discalced Augustinians in the period context, also reflecting the in fluence of the Order on the spiritual and cultural life of the laymen, an influence which, as regards the monastery in Lnare, extends into the early 20th century. The extant resources have helped to describe relations between the members of the Order and the outside world, be it the links to the local clergy or laymen, espe cially burghers and nobility or its dependants. The relationship between the famil ies who financed the foundation of the two latest monasteries (Lnare and Lysa nad Labem) and the monastic community is the focus of specific attention. The monas tery benefactors who financed specific artworks were also recruited from these contacts. In return, they could hope to be...

The Effect of Social Media on the Employment Relationship: Can an employer use a social media post by an employee to initiate disciplinary proceedings against that employee with a view to dismissal?Stungwa, Unathi January 2021 (has links)
Magister Philosophiae - MPhil / Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable increase of cases that the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) has dealt with relating to dismissal for social media posts by employees. Employees have shared some of their unpleasant experiences with their employers, some have expressed their grievances and in other situations have posted on social media platforms how unfairly they feel they are treated by their employers. There is very little scholarly research in South Africa on the discussion on the use of social media and how it affects the employment relationship that exists between the employer and employee as well as how it may affect the relationship that exists between colleagues. The main objective of this research is to establish whether there is a fair reason to dismiss an
employee based on what they post on their personal social media platforms, and to understand when and how the right to privacy can be limited. The aim of this research is to find whether there are any shortcomings in the South African labour laws that social media has opened in our laws with regards to the employment relationship and the use of social media, if there are any shortcomings will recommend how the said shortcomings can be addressed.

The (In)Coherence of Canadian Education Policy Regimes with the United Nations' Refugee Education StrategySchutte, Valerie Rose 21 December 2020 (has links)
This thesis by article contains three chapters. The first chapter provides an overview of recent developments in global refugee education policy to situate Refugee Education 2030, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ current international refugee education strategy, within global policy initiatives. It then reviews the literature on refugee education policy that informed the development of a methodology of vertical policy coherence analysis with Refugee Education 2030 to answer the research questions of the thesis. Finally, it addresses my researcher positionality and journey leading to the thesis. The second chapter contains the manuscript for an article. The purpose of the article is to analyze the vertical coherence of Canadian policy regimes towards the primary and secondary education of refugee children and youth with Refugee Education 2030. The article presents a theoretical framework for policy coherence analysis that combines policy coherence theory, policy attributes theory, and policy behaviour theory, as well as a tri-phasic methodology for vertical policy coherence analysis with an international framework designed to be adapted to different contexts to guide the development of country-specific education policies. The theoretical framework and methodology are applied to determine the categories of needs underpinning Enabling Activities of a Strategic Objective of Refugee Education 2030, to assess these needs as presented by refugee children and youth in Canada, and to analyze the coherence of Canadian education policy responses to these needs with Refugee Education 2030. The findings indicate that there are five categories of needs inherent in the Enabling Activities of the selected Strategic Objective, specifically access to education, accelerated education, language education, mental health and psychosocial support, and special education; that all of these categories of needs are present in refugee claimant and/or refugee children and youth in all of Canada’s educational jurisdictions; and that there are significant gaps in policy responses to these needs. Taken together, the findings permitted a discussion on priorities for the revision and development of refugee education policy across Canadian jurisdictions to ensure greater coherence with Refugee Education 2030. The third chapter summarizes the findings of the contextualized analysis of the vertical coherence of Canadian refugee education policy regimes with Refugee Education 2030. Additional findings that could not be incorporated in the article due to the manuscript submission guidelines Schutte iv of the intended journal of publication are then presented and discussed. The thesis concludes with reflections on my research journey.

Regimes of Reparative Reasoning: The International Politics of Justice Claims for Transatlantic Slavery in Europe, the United Nations, and the Anglophone CaribbeanSchirrer, Anna Kirstine January 2023 (has links)
A morally contested political project has definitively entered late liberal international politics and human rights: material claims to reparatory justice for transatlantic slavery. In the absence of legal avenues with appropriate jurisdiction, claimants of redress for chattel slavery turn to an international network of political and legal forms of expertise. In anthropology and socio-legal research, studies on reparations have focused on transitional justice and redress initiatives within the framework of the nation-state.
This project offers a monograph-length ethnographic study of formal reparations work across institutional scales and beyond the nation-state, showing the productive complexity of post-colonial rights-based claims for justice. Based on 18 months of qualitative research, the project explores transnational reparations work in three organizational contexts: the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland, the Caribbean Community Secretariat and the Guyana Reparations Committee in Georgetown, Guyana. Regimes of Reparative Reasoning focuses on the legal-discursive political terrains that simultaneously enable and restrict the institutional circulation of reparation claims.
Grounded in the belief that reparations are morally and materially imperative, this project argues: 1) formal reparations work is not principally a transformative political project but a liberal progressive project that speaks to established legal and political mechanisms; 2) to reckon with reparation claims for slavery and an emergent descent-based notion of legal personhood, we need to consider longer histories of dispossession: the beforelives of slavery. Ultimately, this study foregrounds the material multiplicity of reparation claims and how disparate national and organizational sites develop, exchange, and transform distinct forms of reparative reasoning.

Land reform in the Limpopo Province : a case study of the Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality / Harry Mantaneng PhaahlaPhaahla, Harry Mantaneng January 2011 (has links)
My interest in this research was to interview leaders and members of the three
communities within the Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality as well as officials of the
Regional Land Claims Commission (RLCC).
The purpose of the discussions was to find out how the communities involved
Government when lodging land claims. The three communities are, Bakwena Ba-
Kopa, Bakgaga Ba-Kopa and Masakaneng. The research yielded the following
findings: 1. All the three communities followed the correct procedures regarding the
relevant legislation and policies when they lodged their land claims. 2. Government played its role through the RLCC by assisting the communities in their endeavor to have their land restored. 3. In the interaction between Government and the communities challenges were encountered that at times led to the delay of the settlements. 4. When the communities keep patient during the land claim processes and
Government officials are dedicated to assist the communities, the chance of
positive outcomes is maximised.
There is evidence that Government made progress to ensure that the affected
communities have the dispossessed land restored. However, there is still a lot to be
done in addressing the outstanding issues. To handle these matters, as indicated
below, co-ordination and interaction between Government and the communities is
crucial.
One can point out these obstacles by focusing on the three affected communities
respectively. Masakaneng:
There is a need to tackle the challenge of the concerned group that led to the
emergence of another committee in the process. This delays the formal negotiations
with the municipality to help facilitate the delivery of the necessary services.
Bakwena Ba-Kopa:
The role-players missed the time-frames that were targeted for settlement.
Government will have to speed up the matter and finalise the settlement, seeing that
the beneficiaries have been waiting for many years.
Bakgaga Ba-Kopa:
Only portion one of RietKloof was restored to the community. The community is
eagerly awaiting Government to help facilitate the restoration of the remaining
portion. This community also needs to play its part in ensuring that the other sections
of the land are restored. It is important that they go back to the drawing board as
beneficiaries and tackle the prevailing differences so that they end up with a
unanimous stand on this matter.
To conclude: It is quite evident that the democratic government post-1994 is
committed and prepared to restore the dignity of the black people who were forcibly
removed from land they and their ancestors occupied. Government is assisting in
this matter by providing all the necessary resources to ensure that land restoration is
a success. For Government to succeed, the affected communities must also play
their role within the parameters of the relevant legislation. This is what the land Acts
expect of all the beneficiaries. / Thesis (M. Development and Management)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011

Multi-level transfer of international norms : asylum policies and practices in Ukraine (1993-2015) / Les transferts de normes internationales multi-niveaux : politiques et pratiques de l’asile en Ukraine (1993-2015)Mützelburg, Irina Béatrice 29 January 2019 (has links)
Cette thèse soulève l’importance d’acteurs et de voies de transferts souvent négligés en adoptant une perspective longitudinale et multi-niveaux sur les transferts internationaux de normes et de politiques. Elle examine le rôle d’organisations internationales dans le développement de politiques et de pratiques relatives à l’asile en Ukraine depuis la première loi sur les réfugiés en 1993 jusqu’en 2015. Elle montre la dépendance de l’action des organisations internationales (OI) et non-gouvernementales (ONG) à l’égard de modes d’influence plus connus, telles que la conditionnalité sectorielle exercée par l’Union Européenne, mais elle met aussi en lumière les modalités propres à leurs interventions. Elle étudie les interactions et les relations entre les acteurs étatiques et non-étatiques au long d’une « chaîne de transferts », révélant les logiques de dépendance, de délégation et de contrôle ainsi que les processus de traduction, de soutien et de résistance aux transferts. En analysant le soutien et des formes subtiles de résistance à l’adoption législative des normes internationales par le Parlement, elle montre l’impact de la quête de reconnaissance internationale et d’incitations offertes par les OI. Les OI et les ONG cherchent à influencer les pratiques étatiques en adaptant leurs stratégies aux résistances et aux obstacles structurels, par des approches consensuelles ou confrontatives, formelles ou informelles, verticales ou horizontales. En dépit de l’effort des entrepreneurs de normes pour induire la formalisation de certains changements, les effets des transferts sur les pratiques étatiques restent hétérogènes et instables. / This thesis uncovers the importance of often overlooked actors and transfer channels by adopting a longitudinal and multi-level perspective on international norm and policy transfer. It examines the role of international organisations in the development of asylum policies and practices in Ukraine since the adoption of the first Law on Refugees. It shows how the action of international and domestic non-governmental organisations is interlinked with and differs from the sector-specific conditionality exercised by the European Union. In this manner, it enriches the findings on transfer from research that has mostly focused on top-down processes and political elite actors. It investigates the interactions and relations between state and non-state actors of the “transfer chain”, revealing logics of dependence, delegation and control as well as processes of translation, support and resistance. Analysing the support and subtle forms of resistance to the legislative adoption of international norms at the Parliament, it demonstrates that adoption is shaped, to a large extent, by domestic politicians’ pursuit of recognition and incentives by international organisations. Moreover, non-state actors seek to influence state practices by adapting their strategies to domestic resistance and structural obstacles, utilising confrontational and harmony-seeking, formal and informal, top-down and horizontal strategies. While norm entrepreneurs try to trigger the formalisation of certain changes, the effects of the transfer attempts on state practices remain heterogeneous and unstable. This thesis thus adds to transfer scholars’ widespread findings regarding the weak application of norms.

An agent of change: William Drewry and land surveying in British Columbia, 1887-1929Cameron, Darby 26 August 2009 (has links)
In 1887, following the completion of the CPR to the Pacific, William Stewart Drewry took part in the Topographical Survey of Canada's first experiment with photographic surveying, which he applied to the Rocky Mountain Railway Belt. He then surveyed the rich mining districts of BC during the Kootenay hardrock mining boom (1893-1909). In 1909, he became BC's first and only Chief Water Commissioner and, in 1911, he returned to surveying as BC's Inspector of Surveys. From 1913 until his retirement in 1929, he surveyed for government and in private practice. Throughout his career, Drewry operated between two land systems: first, a system based on customary rights and local obligations; and, second, a system based on private property and market exchange. Drewry implemented the latter capitalist system, attempting to empower the settlement society, which had the effect of ensuring corporate dominance and, to Drewry's dismay, monopolization of the BC landscape.
