[pt] A disseminação de histórias falsas em aplicativos de mensagens e redes sociais da internet foi um dos elementos centrais da conversação civil no Brasil no período que antecedeu as eleições presidenciais brasileiras em 2018. A preocupação com a disseminação da desinformação – fenômeno que se compõe, entre outros elementos, por informações erradas, descontextualizadas, distorcidas ou falsificadas – se refletiu na quantidade de histórias falsas verificadas e desmentidas por agências independentes de checagens de fatos. No período de 20 dias entre as votações de primeiro e segundo turnos das eleições, as seis principais agências do país publicaram 228 verificações de histórias falsas disseminadas em redes sociais da internet ou aplicativos de troca mensagens, referentes a 132 diferentes pautas. A proposta desta pesquisa é identificar os temas destas histórias falsas e analisar as categorizações enunciadas em seus discursos, com a utilização da Análise de Categorização de Pertencimento (ACP), ferramenta teórico-metodológica de origem na Etnometodologia, aplicada aos textos das histórias falsas divulgados pelas agências. / [en] One of the main aspects of public debate in Brazil in the period that preceded the 2018 presidential elections was the dissemination of false stories via social media and messaging apps. Disinformation, misinformation and mal-information – phenomena that comprehends, among others, elements such as wrongful, out of context, distorted and fabricated information – were a major concern in the context of the election, which could be seen in the number of false stories debunked by independent fact-checkers. In the 20-day period between the two rounds of the presidential election, six fact-checking websites posted 228 verifications of false stories disseminated through social media and/or messaging apps, which covered about 132 different topics. This research aims to identify which were the topics of those false stories and analyze the categorizations enunciated in their discourses. In order to do so, the methodological perspective utilized was the Membership Categorization Analysis (MCP), affiliated with the tradition of Ethnomethodology, applied to the false stories discourses as quoted by the fact-checking websites.

Introduction : Le contenu en ligne est une source significative et primordiale pour les utilisateurs à la recherche d'informations liées à la santé. Pour éviter la désinformation, il est crucial d'automatiser l'évaluation de la fiabilité des sources et de vérification de la véracité des informations. Objectif : Cette étude visait à d’automatiser l'identification de la qualité des sources de santé en ligne. Pour cela, deux éléments complémentaires de qualité ont été automatisés : (1) L'évaluation de la fiabilité des sources d’information liée à la santé, en tenant compte des critères de la HONcode, et (2) L’appréciation de la véracité des informations, avec la base de données PubMed comme source de vérité. Méthodes : Dans cette étude, nous avons analysé 538 pages Web en englais provenant de 43 sites Web. Dans la première phase d’évaluation de la fiabilité des sources, nous avons classé les critères HONcode en deux niveaux : le "niveau pages Web" (autorité, complémentarité, justifiabilité, et attribution) et le "niveau sites Web" (confidentialité, transparence, divulgation financière et politique publicitaire). Pour le niveau pages Web, nous avons annoté 200 pages manuellement et appliqué trois modèles d’apprentissage machine (ML) : Forêt aléatoire (RF), machines à vecteurs de support (SVM) et le transformateur BERT. Pour le niveau sites Web, nous avons identifié des sacs de mots et utilisé un modèle basé sur des règles. Dans la deuxième phase de l’appréciation de la véracité des informations, les contenus des pages Web ont été catégorisées en trois catégories de contenu (séméiologie, épidémiologie et gestion) avec BERT. Enfin, l’automatisation de l’extraction des requêtes PubMed basée sur les termes MeSH a permis d’extraire et de comparer automatiquement les 20 articles les plus pertinents avec le contenu des pages Web. Résultats : Pour le niveau page Web, le modèle BERT a obtenu une meilleure aire sous la courbe (AUC) de 96 %, 98 % et 100 % pour les phrases neutres, la justifiabilité et l'attribution respectivement. SVM a présenté une meilleure performance pour la classification de la complémentarité (AUC de 98 %). Enfin, SVM et BERT ont obtenu une AUC de 98 % pour le critère d'autorité. Pour le niveau sites Web, le modèle basé sur des règles a récupéré les pages Web avec une précision de 97 % pour la confidentialité, 82 % pour la transparence, 51 % pour la divulgation financière et la politique publicitaire. Finalement, pour l’appréciation de la véracité des informations, en moyenne, 23 % des phrases ont été automatiquement vérifiées par le modèle pour chaque page Web. Conclusion : Cette étude souligne l'importance des modèles transformateurs et l'emploi de PubMed comme référence essentielle pour accomplir les deux tâches cruciales dans l'identification de sources d'information fiables en ligne : l’évaluation de la fiabilité des sources et vérifier la véracité des contenus. Finalement, notre recherche pourrait servir à améliorer le développement d’une approche d’évaluation automatique de la crédibilité des sites Web sur la santé. / Introduction: Online content is a significant and primary source for many users seeking healthrelated information. To prevent misinformation, it's crucial to automate the assessment of reliability of sources and fact-checking of information. Objective: This study aimed to automate the identification of the credibility of online information sources. For this, two complementary quality elements were automated: (1) The reliability assessment of health-related information, considering the HONcode criteria, and (2) The factchecking of the information, using PubMed articles as a source of truth. Methods: In this study, we analyzed 538 English webpages from 43 websites. In the first phase of credibility assessment of the information, we classified the HONcode criteria into two levels: the “web page level” (authority, complementarity, justifiability, and attribution) and the “website level” (confidentiality, transparency, financial disclosure, and advertising policy). For the web page level, we manually annotated 200 pages and applied three machine learning (ML) models: Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machines (SVM) and the BERT Transformer. For those at website level criteria, we identified the bags of words and used a rule-based model. In a second phase of fact-checking, the contents of the web pages were categorized into three themes (semiology, epidemiology, and management) with BERT. Finally, for automating the factchecking of information, the automation of PubMed queries extraction using MeSH terms made it possible to automatically extract and compare the 20 most relevant articles with the content of the web pages. Results: For the web page level the BERT model obtained the best area under the curve (AUC) of 96%, 98% and 100% for neutral sentences, justifiability and attribution respectively. SVM showed a better performance for complementarity classification (AUC of 98%). Finally, SVM and BERT obtained an AUC of 98% for the authority criterion. For the websites level, the rules-based model retrieved web pages with an accuracy of 97% for privacy, 82% for transparency, 51% for financial disclosure and advertising policy. Finally, for fact-checking, on average, 23% of sentences were automatically checked by the model for each web page. Conclusion: This study emphasized the significance of Transformers and leveraging PubMed as a key reference for two critical tasks: assessing source reliability and verifying information accuracy. Ultimately, our research stands poised to significantly advance the creation of an automated system for evaluating the credibility of health websites.

The thesis deals with one major issue of how the amaXhosa authors reflect change and transition in the lives of their characters in the period under consideration. This change pertains both to the socio-politico-economic life of the people concerned and the contents of the books and the style of the authors' writings. The study is ground-breaking in that it goes beyond common dissection of the structural elements of the books to a synthetic study of their themes, subject matter, character portrayal and setting. The primary aim is to give a holistic overview of the changing culture of the black people against the backdrop of subjugation and transformation. Chapter 1 contains all the formal preliminary information such as aim, method, context, relevance and topicality of study. Chapter 2 anchors the study in the newspaper age as a solid foundation for the amaXhosa literature. Chapter 3 is an overview of the beginnings of literary endeavours among the amaXhosa and how they reflect the impact of socio-economic pressures in the lives of the people. Chapter 4 further illustrates the impact of education and Christianisation on the blacks as well as growing political awareness among the authors. Chapter 5 focuses on culture-clash among the amaXhosa as a result of the alienating influence of both the church and the school. Chapter 6 highlights changes in society at the height of oppression under the previous political dispensation. Chapters 7 and 8 reflect the authors' thinking and how they depict changes in post-apartheid South Africa while Chapter 9 focuses on the role of Language Boards in restricting freedom of writing and expression during the apartheid years. Chapter 10 is a general conclusion that encapsulates the main points of the thesis. / African Languages / D. Litt, et Phil. (African Languages)

Text in Afrikaans / Die penologiese perspektief rakende die ontwikkeling/ doel en funksionering van leke-assessore is die onderwerp van hierdie verhandeling. Leke-deelname in die regsplegingstelsel kan terug­ gevoer word na 1657. Deur die latere oorname van Engelse regsbeginsels1 word die juriestelsel in die Suid-Afrikaanse reg geinkorporeer. Na die afskaffing van die juriestelsel in 1969 berus die beantwoording van sowel feite- as regsvrae slegs by die voorsittende beampte. Hierdie situasie is as onaan­ vaarbaar beskou en grater leke-deelname word bepleit. Dit is egter eers in 1991 dat die aanwending van leke-assessore in die Suid-Afrikaanse regstelsel 'n realiteit word. Een van die voorvereistes vir die aanstel van assessore is dat die aanstelling dienstig vir die regspleging moet wees. Die vraag waarmee penoloe en juriste worstel, is of die aanwending van assessore tans wel bevorderlik vir gesonde regspleging is. Uit empiriese navorsing het dit geblyk nie die geval te wees nie. Derhalwe word 'n opleidingsprogram vir assessore voorgestel / The subject of perspective on tioning of lay justice. this dissertation is a penological the development/ purpose and tunc­ assessors in the administration of The use of lay assessors can be traced back as far as 1657. As a result of the adoption of the British law principles/ the jury system was incorporated in South African law. After the abolition of the jury in 1969/ the answering of factual and judicial questions resides in the presiding officer. This situation was unacceptable and lay participation was advocated. The use of lay assessors became a reality in 1991. The prerequisite for the appointment of an assessor is that it should be expedient for the administration of justice. But are the use of lay assessors beneficial at this stage? From the empirical research it is evident that it is not beneficial at all and therefore the researcher recommends a training programme for lay assessors. / Penology / M.A. (Penologie)

L'utilisation de l'expérience comme un mode de détermination des faits, c'est-à-dire comme un élément qui comble les lacunes dans l'ensemble des éléments de preuve dans le procès civil, est un thème quelque peu tabou. La doctrine est souvent basée sur la prémisse voulant que le décideur rende une décision uniquement en vertu des éléments de preuve et qu'il doit absolument s'abstenir d'insérer aux constatations quoi que ce soit qui n'est pas présent dans les éléments de preuve. Cette vision est éloignée de la réalité juridique. Dans la première partie, nous allons aborder les principes procéduraux qui empêchent l'utilisation de l'expérience comme mode de détermination des faits. Ce sont le principe de la reconstruction de l'événement du passé, le principe de l'abstraction des connaissances acquises hors du procès et le principe de l'exclusion de la preuve par ouï-dire. Ensuite, nous portons notre attention sur les différents types d'expérience, c'est-à-dire l'expérience profane, divisible en bon sens et sens commun, et l'expérience scientifique, ainsi sur leurs modes de fonctionnement dans le procès civil. La première partie se termine par une brève confrontation des différents types d'expérience avec les principes procéduraux. La deuxième partie est consacré à l'analyse de l'expérience dans trois instruments juridiques: la connaissance d'office, la présomption de fait et le témoignage d'expert. Nous nous intéressons principalement à vérifier si l'expérience fonctionne à l'intérieur de ces instruments juridiques comme mode de détermination des faits et ensuite quelles sont les limites que le droit pose à l'expérience dans ce rôle. L'analyse va confirmer que le principal instrument par lequel l'expérience comme mode de détermination des faits pénètre dans le procès civil est la présomption de fait. / The theme of the use of experience as a mode of fact findings, i.e. as an element which fills the gaps in a totality of evidence in the civil procedure, is somewhat tabooed. The doctrine is frequently based upon the premise that a decision-maker should render a decision solely on the basis of evidence and that he should completely abstain from inserting into the fact findings anything which is not present in the evidence. This vision is distant from the legal reality. In the first part, three procedural principles which prevent the experience from the use as a mode of fact findings will be treated. The principles in question are the principle of reconstruction of the past event, the principle of setting aside the knowledge obtained out of the procedure and the principle of exclusion of hearsay evidence. Then the attention is paid to different types of experience (i.e. the lay experience, divisible into "bon sens" and into common sense, and the scientific experience) and to the methods of their fonctionning in the civil procedure. The first part is concluded by a brief confrontation of different types of experience with the procedural principles. The second part is dedicated to an analysis of the experience in the three legal instruments: judicial notice, presumption of fact and expert testimony. The interest is focused especially on verification whether the experience works inside the legal instruments as a mode of facts findings and then what are the limits which the law fixes to the experience in this role. The research will confirm that the principal instrument by which the experience as a mode of fact findings penetrates into the civil procedure is the presumption of fact.

BRAUNOVÁ, L.: František Kožík's biographical novels about Zdenka Braunerová compared to the extant correspondence /Master Degree Thesis/ Prague 2014, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Education, Departement of the Czech Literature. This Master Degree Thesis compares Kožík's novels Na křídle větrného mlýna and Neklidné babí léto with the extant correspondence, which is used in different ways in both novels. The starting point was extensive research, which provided a precise undertanding of the author's intentions. The goal was to find out how the author forms the characters and their relationship using sources, especially the correspondence. At the same time this thesis delineates the difference between facts and fiction with an example of Kožík's novels.

La notion de déni de justice substantiel est problématique parce qu'elle suppose la reconnaissance de la responsabilité internationale de l'État pour ses décisions judiciaires nationales souveraines et donc le contrôle, par une juridiction internationale, de l'application discrétionnaire du droit interne par les autorités de justice nationales. Attachée à la notion de déni de justice en droit coutumier et historiquement liée à une conception assez large, et controversée, de la protection due par les États aux étrangers sur leur territoire, la notion de déni de justice substantiel doit encore affirmer son emprise en droit international conventionnel, non seulement dans le domaine de la protection des investissements internationaux mais aussi, et surtout, dans le domaine de la protection des droits de l'homme parce que l’enjeu, dans ce domaine, est particulièrement important et que la question s’y pose avec le plus d'acuité. Outre l'étude de la notion coutumière et son affirmation comme forme de déni de justice, l'intérêt de cette étude est de faire ressortir l'existence d'un droit général et subjectif au jugement raisonnable, dont la définition permet de mettre en avant les limites du pouvoir normatif que la mise en oeuvre d'un standard attribue au juge international lorsqu'il contrôle la régularité interne des jugements nationaux. / The notion of substantial denial of justice is problematic because it assumes the recognition of the international responsibility of the State in its judicial national sovereign decisions and thus the review, by an international jurisdiction, of the discretionary application of internal law by national judicial authorities. Attached to the notion of denial of justice in customary law, and historically linked to a fairly large and controversial perception of the protection that is required from States to foreigners on their territories, the notion of substantial denial of justice must still assert its influence in international conventional law, not only in the field of international investment protection but also, and foremost, in the area of human rights protection, because the stakes in that field are particularly important and the questions they raise are more relevant. Besides the study of the customary notion and its assertion as a form of denial of justice, the main point of this study is to highlight the existence of a general and subjective right to reasonable judgment, of which the definition allows to point out the limits of the normative power that the implementation of a standard provides to an international judge when he is called upon to review the internal regularity of national judgments.

La pièce de théâtre comme outil d'enseignement de l'histoire dans la région Pays de la Loire Using Theatre as a Didactic Tool for History Lessons in the Pays de la Loire Region Bc. Klára Paseková Abstract This thesis describes the advantages of using theater play as a didactic tool for history teaching, with specific examples from the area of Pays de la Loire, France. The special role of school externist in the context of French schools is introduced, as well as the specific place of drama play as a motivational and educational tool in connection with the subject of history. Using the example of the play Mystère sur les quais de Nantes, the usefulness of the theater play for explaining complex history concept is demonstrated. Materials for history teachers include preparation instructions, the play itself and materials for subsequent discussion session with the author Mme Le Fahler and workshop. Further analysis illustrates the specifics of creating a play for the purpose of teaching history. Keywords: didactic tool, play, dramatisation, drama in education, Pays de la Loire, historical fact, historical contectualisation of character, preparation of scenario
