Nesta dissertação, analisam-se sequências de perguntas e respostas, bem como as consequências por elas ocasionadas, em um evento interacional de caráter institucional permeado pela prática de perguntar e de responder: o interrogatório policial. O objetivo consiste em investigar, por meio do arcabouço teórico-metodológico da Análise da Conversa de base etnometodológica (SACKS; SCHEGLOFF; JEFFERSON, 1974), como ocorre a busca vs. o resguardo de informações acerca dos crimes sob investigação em interrogatórios policiais de três Delegacias de Polícia do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Propõe-se, de maneira específica, analisar e descrever as implicações interacionais: (1) dos formatos das perguntas utilizados pelos policiais investigadores na busca por informações concernentes aos crimes; e (2) dos recursos por meio dos quais os participantes dos interrogatórios resguardam informações acerca dos crimes sob investigação. O corpus deste estudo advém de gravações em áudio e/ou vídeo de dez interrogatórios policiais ocorridos em três Delegacias de Polícia Civil, entre abril de 2017 e janeiro de 2018. No que concerne à busca dos fatos dos crimes, a análise evidencia que é a partir das perguntas de formatos menos abertos e de formato fechado, ou então do estreitamento sequencial de perguntas de formato aberto para perguntas de formato fechado, que informações acerca dos crimes são alcançadas pelos policiais investigadores. Essas informações são seguidas de justificativas e/ou informações adicionais que podem não apenas ser substanciais para as investigações, como também podem ser usadas em favor da própria inocência dos interrogados. Em relação ao resguardo das informações acerca dos crimes sob investigação, a análise revela que ele pode ser: (1) realizado pelos interrogados em seus turnos de fala responsivos; e (2) oportunizado pelos policiais investigadores em suas perguntas. Os interrogados resguardam os fatos dos crimes ao resistirem ao provimento das informações solicitadas pelos policiais e ao fornecerem respostas não conformativas àquelas tornadas relevantes nas perguntas, cujas ações consistem em declarações de desconhecimento, deslembrança e dessaber, dentre outras. Os policiais oportunizam que informações concernentes aos crimes sejam resguardadas pelos interrogados quando realizam perguntas cuja composição integra verbos de cognição, tais como “saber” e “lembrar”, possibilitando, assim, que os interrogados declarem, em suas respostas, dessaber e/ou deslembrança sem que revelem resistência ou não conformidade em relação à pergunta. A partir desses resultados, reflete-se sobre a interface entre a ciência da linguagem e as ciências jurídicas, bem como sobre as contribuições que este estudo linguístico-interacional tem a oferecer ao contexto de investigação e ao aparato da Análise da Conversa. / Questioning and answering are trivial activities in people's lives, either in mundane or institutional talk-in-interaction. This dissertation analyzes sequences of questions and answers, as well as its consequences, in interactional and institutional events constituted by questioning and answering practices: police interrogations. The objective is to investigate, supported by the theoretical and methodological framework of Conversation Analysis (SACKS; SCHEGLOFF; JEFFERSON, 1974), how pursuit vs. preservation of information concerning crimes under investigation occur in police interrogations of three Police stations in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. More specifically, it proposes to analyze and describe the following interactional implications: (1) question formats used by police agents in the pursuit of information concerning crimes; and (2) resources through which interrogated individuals preserve information related to crimes under investigation. The corpus of this study is composed of audio and/or video recordings of ten police interrogations from three Civilian Police stations, collected between April, 2017 and January, 2018. Regarding pursuit of crime facts, the analysis shows that information about crimes is obtained by police agents when they use less open or closed questions, as well as when they switch from open to closed-question sequences. This information precedes justifications and/or additional information, which not only can be substantial for the investigation process, but also can be used in favor of the innocence of the individual being interrogated. Concerning preservation of information related to crimes under investigation, the analysis demonstrates that it can be: (1) carried out by interrogated individuals in their responsive turns; and (2) enabled by police agents due to the question formats they choose. Interrogated individuals preserve crime facts when resisting to provide information requested by police agents and when supplying nonconforming responses concerning answers that are made relevant by the question format, performing actions such as lack of knowledge, forgetfulness and unawareness declarations, among others. Police agents enable information related to crimes to be protected by interrogated individuals when they choose question formats which include cognition verbs, such as “to know” and “to remember”, which makes possible, thus, that interrogated people, in their answers, declare ignorance and/or lack of memory without demonstrating resistance or nonconformity towards the question being answered. Based on these results, the study reflects on the interface between linguistic and legal sciences, as well as on contributions that this linguistic and interactional study has to offer to the investigated context and to the Conversation Analysis framework.

美中軍事關係之起伏隨著兩國國家利益、領導人特質、國際情勢等而定。 / The United States-China’s military relationship has undergone uneven developments since 1979. The main theme of this thesis is that the bilateral military relations have been experienced periods of better cooperation, and ones of suspicion and confrontation. The research questions of this thesis are as follows: What are the potential risks and benefits of mil-to-mil relations to the U.S. and China security? What are the obstacles of the two militaries interaction? What is the U.S. and China, respectively, debating over regarding military relations? This thesis focuses primarily upon the relationship of two militaries relevant to interests of their countries, changing international politics and leaders’ perspectives by reviewing crucial historical events. The author attempts to explore the evolution of the U.S.-China military relations, which are influenced by the changing of the international environment, domestic issues, national interests, and the prospective of leaders after the Post Cold War. Also this paper will try to explore the intention of why these potential opponents cooperate. This thesis intends to dig out the mentalities of the leaders on both sides in establishing their military relations. The author would also adopt the Morgenthau’s rational approach (interests in reaching value-maximizing choices), Allison’ bureaucratic politics approach (decision-making of the President with his inner circle of advisors), and Gilpin’s international system (states tend to expand interests as their power grows) to examine the military relations. The framework is illustrated as follows: Chapter one gives the background stories of the bilateral relations, the purpose and methodology of this writings. Chapter two elaborates U.S. interests in China, and U.S. Policies concerning China. Chapter three further explores China interests in U.S., and China policies concerning the U.S. Chapter four describes the U.S.-China military relations since the Carter Administrations. Chapter five explores the U.S. and China views of their military relations. Chapter six lists constraints of U.S.-China military relations, and concludes with findings and conclusion.

The two concepts of hypocrisy and heresy are completely disparate in modern use, and yet they were related in two ways during the early modern period. Firstly, both terms were prominent charges in the polemical exchanges of the English Reformation. Consequently, in this thesis they provide useful tools for studying the effects of controversy on language. The meaning of hypocrisy and of heresy was of considerable concern to many controversialists, and yet the resulting attempts at defining these terms contributed to their destabilization and incoherence. These terms were also related in a second respect throughout the early modern period. Given the universal conviction at that time that there was only one “true” church, and given the consequent pressures imposed by churches (both Catholic and Protestant) to enforce conformity to their own religions, it was inevitable that judgements had to be made concerning the convictions and internal beliefs of others. Such judgements were central in charges of heresy and hypocrisy; hence in this thesis the concepts of hypocrisy and heresy provide useful tools for studying early modern understandings of intentionality and judgement. The writings of Sir John Cheke, William Perkins, Bishop Joseph Hall and Sir Francis Bacon are shown to display concern combined with confusion and incoherence over these topics. However, Sir Thomas More’s Dialogue Concerning Heresies is shown to contain an intricate and coherent analysis of intentionality and judgement vis a vis heresy. But, More’s foundation for judgement and knowledge was the consensus fidelium, a foundation which simply was not available to the later Protestant writers. Lastly, Thomas Hobbes’s treatments of hypocrisy and heresy are examined. In effect, Hobbes negated the judgement of intentions where both concepts were concerned. He acknowledged and accepted the separation of internal belief from external profession. Likewise he accepted the impenetrable nature of the human mind and heart in a way his forebears had not. By examining Hobbes’s treatment of these concepts in light of the polemical confusion and conceptual incoherence of the preceeding century, a better understanding of Hobbes’s philosophy is obtained and the relevance of early modern theology for intellectual history is demonstrated.

This article reports on a study of secondary school students in Hanoi. The author surveyed approximately 500 students from a sample of 10 secondary schools to assess levels of environmental awareness including environmental knowing, concerning and applying. Independent variables included region of school, and the gender of students. Although there are no region and gender differences in environmental awareness, the mediating relationships are found. / Báo cáo đề cập kết quả nghiên cứu nhận thức của học sinh trung học cơ sở về khía cạnh môi trường trong các nhà trường tại Hà Nội.

The field of state budget is very topical and crucial for the future economic development of the country. The aim of this thesis is to map the political process of state budget production and endorsement. It shows the level of its affectability under the current conditions, if the state budget is only a result of wrong political decisions. The thesis discusses the process of the state budget production and endorsement itself. It also shows the state budget structure when identifying the most significant items of the state budget. The second part presents state budgets under the different Czech governments since 1993. One state budget of each government is further examined. Its production, endorsement and final performance is described. It shows the key items change under the different governments. It searches for similar tendences among governments and focuses on items which are the source of imbalances of the state budget. This thesis offers the insight to different government state budgets, in order to discuss if balanced state budget is under the current conditions attainable, whether its deficit character is determined by the process itself.
