Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / (D.Th(Systematic Theology))

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo investigar as bases fundamentais da Teoria do Reconhecimento apresentada por Axel Honneth. Para cumprir tal intento o presente texto é dividido em duas partes centrais. Em um primeiro momento, nos dois primeiros capítulos, são apresentados de forma analítica os textos hegelianos do período de Jena, visando abordar as origens do conceito de reconhecimento e sua implicação teórica no desenvolvimento honnethiano de uma luta por reconhecimento. Em um segundo momento, no último capítulo, são apresentados e analisados os argumentos honnethianos de uma atualização dos conceitos hegelianos que possibilitariam, por sua vez, uma reconstrução de uma eticidade normativa. A forma como Honneth compreende a experiência do reconhecimento permite a ele rever o modelo de como ocorre às relações intersubjetivas de autorrealização. Aqui essas relações são demonstradas de acordo com as três esferas do reconhecimento, a saber, o Amor, o Direito e a Solidariedade e suas respectivas formas de autorrealização. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-03-04T13:18:53Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Marcelo Lucas Cesco.pdf: 711491 bytes, checksum: 838d8baf4e64c93bb3008d1bc783a780 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-04T13:18:53Z (GMT).

In order to reach our goal, the text is divided into two central parts. Firstly, we analytically present Hegel’s Jena Lectures, aiming to approach the origins of the concept “recognition” and its theoretical involvement in the honnethian development of a “fight for recognition”. Secondly, we present and analyze the honnethian arguments for an update of Hegelian concepts which have enabled a normative ethics reconstitution. Honneth’s comprehension of recognition experience allows us to revise the model for the occurrence of intersubjective relations of self-realization. Herein, we evince these relations according to three spheres of recognition, namely, Love, Rights and Solidarity and their forms of self-realization.

Este trabalho é dedicado ao estudo da unitariedade em teoria de campos não comuta- tiva. Inicialmente, são apresentadas as ferramentas básicas para abordar o problema da unitariedade em teorias não comutativas, incluindo as regras de corte e uma introdução à não comutatividade. Em seguida, foi feita a análise do modelo Á3 não comutativo. Empregando o esquema perturbativo usual da teoria de campos, foi verificado que o modelo é unitário quando a não comutatividade envolve apenas o espaço. Por outro lado, quando a não comutatividade envolve o espaço e o tempo verificou-se uma violação da unitariedade, fato esse bem conhecido tratando-se de teorias não comutativas. Partimos então para uma abordagem proposta na literatura, em que a teoria de perturbação é adaptada para teorias não comutativas. Dentro desse esquema, o modelo Á3 foi estudado novamente verificando assim a unitariedade para um diagrama de um laço e segunda ordem na constante de acoplamento mesmo quando a não comutatividade envolve o espaço e o tempo. Baseado nesse método, estendemos a análise para uma teoria contendo além de um campo escalar um campo fermiônico, mais precisamente o modelo de Yukawa, no qual também foi verificada a unitariedade a um laço e segunda ordem na constante de acoplamento. / This work is dedicated to study unitarity in noncommutative field theory. Initially, the basic tools to handle the problem of unitarity in noncommutative theories are discussed, including the cutting rules and an introduction to noncommutativity. Then, we analised the noncommutative Á3 model. Using the usual perturbative framework of field theory, we verified that the model preserves unitarity when the noncommutativity is restrict to the spatial coordinates. On the other hand, when the noncommutativity includes both, space and time, we found a violation of the unitarity, a well known fact in noncommutative field theory. Next, we turn to an approach proposed in the literature, in wich perturbation theory is adapted for noncommutative field theory. Whitin this approach, the Á3 model was studied again and the unitarity was verified for one loop diagram and second order in the coupling constant even in the case when noncommutativity affects both space and time. Following this, we extended the analysis to a field theory with fermionic and scalar fields, namely, Yukawa\'s model, again verifing unitarity at one loop and second order in the coupling constant.

D. Ed. (Adolescent Guidance) / An excessive amount of literature is currently available in the field of selfdevelopment. The sale of books, self-help courses, and the attendance of programmes in this regard have reached higher levels than ever before. It is impossible for the average person to assimilate all the available information, and unfortunately most of these learning materials were never verified to prove their results. It is undeniable that a need for self-development and enhancement programmes does exist - it is however necessary that they are evaluated to establish whether they do indeed work, and that they integrate some of the information to cover as broad an area as possible of the intrapersonal sphere of influence, without overloading the individual learner. In this study, a wide-ranging literature study lead to the researcher concluding that most information in the domain of intrapersonal enhancement can be divided into three primary categories. The first category, the Life Script, which is primarily formed during the childhood years and strengthened or altered by adult experiences, includes all the issues, events and endeavors of the individual's life that made him/her what he/she is today. The second category is the Life Plan, which is future-oriented and represents the dreams, desires and ambitions of the person. The final category is the Strategies, and contains the techniques and skills the individual needs to move from category one, the "as is"/Life Script-scenario, to the second category, the "to be"/Life Plan-scenario. Roughly guided by the 80/20 principle the researcher separated the "vital few'' from the "trivial many" and through the reasoning processes of analysis, derivation and synthesis, supplemented by personal experience in the field, generated a new conceptual framework for intrapersonal enhancement. A cyclical model, based on this conceptual framework, is postulated and described in detail, and showed the way for the development and compilation of the "Du Toit Self-Enhancement Programme." This programme is evaluated through research methodology that is qualitative, explorative, descriptive, and contextual in nature. Ten respondents within a corporate environment attended the programme, and their experiences in this regard explored through phenomenological interviews, reflective diaries, and field notes. The data was analysed, coded and categorized, and the results discussed in detail. The results suggested the existence of two main themes regarding the experiences of the respondents. The first theme is the experiences of change initiated by the programme, including all alterations to the established way of doing, thinking or feeling. The second theme is the experience of the utility value of the programme, including all experiences regarding the usefulness and profitability of the programme. From the discussion of the research results it is evident that the programme had a major effect on the individual learners. It can be concluded that the programme achieved its goal, which is, based on a new conceptual framework on intrapersonal development, to teach and facilitate optimal intrapersonal enhancement. The study's ultimate goal has also been achieved, which is the creation of an integrated and unique conceptual framework on intrapersonal behaviour, and the verification of the programme based on it.

This study investigated whether an employees’ perception of the ethical culture in the organisation and their perception of their own ethicality influenced their level of organisational identification and additionally, whether this relationship between perceived ethical culture and organisational identification had an influence on workplace wellbeing. The aim of this research study was to measure employees’ perceptions of organisational ethics, their relative self-ethicality, organisational identification, and wellbeing, in order to develop a model pertaining to the relationship between these three constructs. Research showed that employees’ perceptions of the ethical culture in their organisation can influence how they identify with that particular organisation. Research also indicated that the differences between perceived organisational ethicality and relative self-ethicality exist. Additionally, research showed the influence of perceived ethical culture and relative self-ethicality has indicated a relationship between organisational identification and wellbeing respectively. However, to date and to the researcher’s knowledge there has been no investigation of the relationship between these four constructs. This research study was quantitative in nature in which a questionnaire was utilised as a research method. A sample of 111 respondent from three organisations in the automation industry in the Eastern Cape, Port Elizabeth was utilised for this research study. The main findings indicated that an alternative model resulted to be a good fit through structural equation modelling. The results illustrated that organisational ethicality has an influence on how employees identify with their organisations and how this relationship influences wellbeing. Therefore, it is worthwhile to invest in an ethical organisational culture for the sustainability of the organisation and its employees’ livelihoods. This study contributes to the literature based on perceived ethical culture, organisational identification, and workplace wellbeing. Additionally, the study provides readers with a model on how these concepts influence each other.

There is the high saturation of markets in this turbulent time. In common with the competition are markets like an impregnable fortress. So the words like segmentation, targeting and positioning have been playing the key role during selection of required market. The aim of submitted work is to value the efficiency of implemented plan. The point is about branch establishing and its retrospective evaluation of Feasibility Study. This step will be done with some analysis and factors. The last episode will be the part of recommendation for getting it better.
