This thesis will try to carry out a Derridean approach to Charlotte Brontë / ' / s two last, important, and mature novels: Shirley and Villette. From among all Derridean concepts, the idea of deferral of meaning and mourning are chosen to be investigated through close reading of the selected novels. The aim is to make clear the unexplored thoughts, meanings and feelings found in Brontë / ' / s texts, using Derrida' / s philosophical ideas as a tool. Many interpretations will be exposed for the progression of the stories in Shirley and Villette, and for the nature of the characters, both men and women. This process will demonstrate the endless deferral of meaning and the way the characters mourn for the eternal absence of those they love. The thesis is not just about the deferral of Brontë / ' / s intended meaning, but also about the deferral of the meanings of all words and concepts which ultimately make the meaning unattainable or always absent.

Waiting to learn a new use of technology: motivation source and its impact on anticipated effect, time pressure and subjective normsLoraas, Tina Marie 01 November 2005 (has links)
This research investigated the decision process surrounding the self-regulated learning of new uses of existing technology. With firms investing up to 50% of their capital budgets on information technology (in excess of 1 trillion dollars in aggregate), understanding what factors motivate or inhibit more encompassing use of technology is of practical concern (Bowen 1986; Nambisan et al. 1999; Mahmood et a. 2001). I introduced a dynamic element to the technology adoption/acceptance literature by using a framework based upon deferral option theory. This framework allows for the decision to learn a new use of technology to occur over time. I found that potential users chose to defer learning new uses of technology even when usefulness was evident and ease of learning was not prohibitive. Further, an additional benefit to using the deferral option framework was its inclusion of both rewards and penalties; I found that not only do potential users consider what can be gained by learning, but also what can be lost by trying to learn and failing.
In addition to using a framework premised on deferral option theory, I investigated the properties of time pressure and subjective norms on the decision to learn new uses of technology. As time pressure offered a possible alternate explanation for why potential users defer learning, I controlled for it experimentally and determined that time pressure did affect deferral choice. Further, as subjective norms have had limited success as a predictor of intent to use technology in prior literature, I investigated the separate pieces of the theoretical construct, referent group perceptions and the motivation to comply with those perceptions. By manipulating environment between work and play settings, different motivational sources were enacted by the potential users. Specifically, I found that when potential users were externally motivated subjective norms did influence deferral, and when internally motivated, subjective norms did not influence a potential user??s decision to defer learning a new use of technology.

Odklad a zastavení výkonu rozhodnutí (exekuce) / Deferral and discontinuance of the enforcement of judgment (execution)Bardonová, Kateřina January 2012 (has links)
Deferral and discontinuance of the enforcement of judgment (execution) Carrying out the enforcement of the judgement represents a rather great impact on the obliged person's rights. Despite the fact that it is this obliged person who has caused such enforcement by not fulfilling voluntarily what has been imposed upon him by the enforceable decision, the law has to provide a certain standard of protection. Thus, in the Czech legal environment, it creates above all a deferral and discontinuance of the enforcement of judgement (execution). The main purpose of this thesis is to focus on these two institutes and also on costs in connection with them as they are a concern not only for the obliged person but for the entitled person as well. The thesis is divided into four chapters. While the first one presents general information about the enforcement of judgement and execution, its legal sources and difference between both concepts, the main part of the thesis lies in the three following chapters. The second chapter deals with deferral of enforcement of judgement (execution), i.e. situation when the court (or executioner) may suspend carrying out the enforcement of the decision where (i) the obliged person has temporarily got without his fault into such a condition that an immediate enforcement of the...

Previous issue date: 2016-03-10 / This scientific study focuses on the legal institution of deferral and its implications for the application of the constitutional non-cumulative principle, and also on the need for prior approval by CONFAZ of legal provisions on deferral. The main purpose is to demonstrate that by analyzing the linguistic term, deferral, in São Paulo state law, we can observe different legal institutions with different legal natures. That being said, if the Federal Constitution provides for that the non-cumulative principle does not apply only in the cases of exemption and non-imposition of taxes, the deferral provisions can only prevent the use of the credit by the taxpayer, if the mentioned deferral turns out to be an exemption institute or a non-imposition one. For this demonstration, it is necessary to analyze our legal system, the rule of law, and what is done in the light of constitutional principles of citizen consent, legality, property and non-cumulative. On the basis of these assumptions, deferral is being analyzed from the perspective of the tax incidence rule and the rule that provides the right to ICMS tax credit. The demonstration that under the word deferral there are different legal institutions, and that the right to tax credit can only be denied when the institute, despite the given name, is an exemption or a non-imposition, is contrary to the opinion our higher courts, because according to the majority of the court´s decisions all that is needed is that the previous operation is subject to deferral, so that the constitutional non-cumulative principle does not apply. Finally, based on these findings, I will analyze whether the approval by CONFAZ is mandatory or not when the legal term is deferral; Moreover, I will analyze each individual case where the rule employed the term deferral in order to determine the actual institute at stake, aiming at pondering over the compliance with the constitutional principles of legality and anteriority / O presente estudo científico tem como foco o instituto jurídico do diferimento e suas implicações na aplicação do princípio constitucional da não cumulatividade, bem como analisar a necessidade da prévia aprovação pelo CONFAZ das previsões legais sobre diferimento. Pretende-se demonstrar que, analisando o vocábulo diferimento, na legislação paulista, podemos encontrar institutos jurídicos diferentes com naturezas distintas. Desta feita, se a Constituição Federal somente permite que não incida o princípio da não cumulatividade nos casos de isenção e não incidência, as disposições do ordenamento que versem sobre o diferimento, da mesma forma, somente poderão impedir o aproveitamento do crédito por quem de direito, se nominado diferimento se refletir no instituto da isenção ou não incidência. Para tal demonstração é necessária a análise do nosso ordenamento jurídico, da norma jurídica e do ciclo de positivação do direito, o que se faz à luz dos princípios constitucionais do consentimento do cidadão, legalidade, propriedade e não cumulatividade. Com base em tais premissas, é que se analisa o diferimento sob a perspectiva da regra-matriz de incidência tributária e da regra-matriz que propicia o direito ao crédito do ICMS. A demonstração de que sob o vocábulo diferimento existem diferentes institutos jurídicos e, ainda, de que o direito ao crédito do imposto somente poderá ser negado quando o instituto, apesar do nome dado, for a isenção ou não incidência, segue na mão inversa do posicionamento majoritário de nossos tribunais superiores, pois, para grande parte das decisões, basta que a operação anterior esteja sujeita ao diferimento, para que o princípio da não cumulatividade seja afastado. Por fim, com base nas assertivas acima, analisaremos a necessidade ou não de aprovação, pelo CONFAZ, da norma jurídica a ser inserida, quando o vocábulo utilizado pela legislação for diferimento, bem como, analisaremos, em cada caso em que a norma inserida se vale do vocábulo diferimento, o real instituto jurídico ali existente, a fim de ponderar sobre a observância dos princípios constitucionais da legalidade e da anterioridade

Optimal Siting and Sizing of Solar Photovoltaic Distributed Generation to Minimize Loss, Present Value of Future Asset Upgrades and Peak Demand Costs on a Real Distribution FeederMukerji, Meghana 19 August 2011 (has links)
The increasing penetration of distributed generation (DG) in power distribution systems presents technical and economic benefits as well as integration challenges to utility engineers. Governments are beginning to acknowledge DG as an economically viable alternative to deferring investment at generation, transmission and distribution levels, meeting demand growth and improving distribution network performance and security. DG technology is rapidly maturing in Ontario due to government economic incentives promoting connection, specifically, the Ontario’s Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) Program.
Optimal sizing and siting of DG is well researched, traditionally studying the technical impact on distribution system such as real power loss reduction and voltage profile improvement. Equally common objectives studied are the economics of DG installation which are useful for the developer when deciding when and where to install. Although DG represents a “non-wires” solution to network asset reinforcement, the direct economic benefit to the host utility from promoting DG uptake is not fully understood by utility planners and asset managers. Some DG based asset reinforcement deferral work has been performed in the UK and Italy but is mainly at the transmission level and is not part of an overall strategy that could be applied by a utility.
This research presents a comprehensive three stage technique: optimal siting, optimal sizing and financial evaluation of cost savings over a defined planning period to quantify the economic benefit to a Local Distribution Company (LDC) of solar photovoltaic (PV) DG connections on an actual distribution feeder. Optimal sites for PV DG are determined by applying the power loss sensitivity factor method to the test feeder. The objective functions used to determine cost savings consist of loss minimization, asset investment deferral, and peak demand reduction to identify an optimal DG penetration limit. Furthermore, a utility planner can identify an optimal DG penetration limit, encourage uptake at preferred locations that would benefit the LDC, and use the positive impact of DG at existing locations as part of an asset management strategy to prioritize and schedule future asset reinforcement upgrades.

The change of haemoglobin during blood donation, and an assessment of a photometrical method for non-invasive haemoglobin analysisNilsson, Helen January 2013 (has links)
In Sweden, lowest acceptable haemoglobin levels in blood donators are 125g/L for women and 135g/L for men for a test sample taken in the beginning of the blood donation. Levels, which are 10g/L lower, are accepted if the sample is taken after the blood donation. Earlier studies show that the haemoglobin level decreases for a person that is lying down. The two aims of this study were to examine how much the haemoglobin levels change during blood donation and to examine if the photometrical instrument Pronto-7TM shows equivalent results to that of the established method Cell-Dyn Sapphire. In the study, 120 blood donors participated. Blood samples were taken in the beginning and in the end of the donation. Analyses by Pronto-7TM were done before and after the donation. The haemoglobin level decreased significantly during the blood donation. The difference was in mean value 5,9g/L according to Cell-Dyn Sapphire. The decrease was significantly less than 10g/L. The Pronto-7TM gave levels that were 1,6g/L higher than Cell-Dyn Sapphire in mean and the standard deviation was higher for Pronto-7TM than for Cell-Dyn Sapphire. In conclusion, the decrease of the haemoglobin levels was significantly less than the expected difference 10g/L. Pronto-7TM gives results that differs a little from the results of the established method.

The MSM Deferral Controversy: An Analysis of the 2000 BPAC MeetingMaule, Simone C 01 January 2014 (has links)
I will analyze the transcript from the 2000 BPAC meeting on the reevaluation of the MSM deferral policy and will elucidate the role that scientific data, specifically the data associated with NAT, plays in the 2000 deliberations surrounding the MSM deferral. This examination reveals that while scientific data did play a significant role in the decision making process of the BPAC there were also a number of other factors that influenced their deliberations as well. Ultimately what I will argue is that there were two different platforms present in the meeting and that each platform performs and enacts the body and blood of the donor differently. One platform is all about the inclusionary principles of blood donation and is most concerned by the potential for discrimination toward the body of the donor. The other platform is all about risk regulation and economics and is most concerned about how the body and blood of the donor will affect the safety and integrity of the blood supply. These platforms are not perspectival or dependent on view; this is not an epistemological argument but rather, an ontological one that concerns the reality and materiality of the situation, not the perspective. Thinking about these two platforms gives a handle to the nature of this controversy and contextualizes the committee’s decision to continue with the MSM deferral.
