Literature indicates that pharmacists of South Africa experience high levels of stress as a result of their working conditions. Seeing that the definition of subjective well–being (SWB) entails that a person feels positive affect (positive moods) and experience infrequent feelings of negative affect (such as stress), pharmacists have low SWB since they experience high levels of stress. It is thus vital to lessen the stress seeing as this low SWB may entail a danger to the profession as well as the patients' safety. Based on this leisure proves to enhance well–being by producing positive affect (such as happiness) and reducing negative affect (such as stress or depression). Leisure (taking a holiday) is furthermore a means of buffering stress and therefore the perfect solution to pharmacists' stress. Hence the purpose of this research was to determine the role of holiday taking on South African pharmacists' overall well–being. To achieve this goal a database was obtained from The South African Pharmacy Council. This database consisted out of 8000 e–mail addresses of pharmacists registered at the Pharmacy Council. From the 1500 e–mails that were send out 207 completed questionnaires were obtained. A thorough literature analysis on socio–demographic characteristics, travel motives, independent choices and preferred activities when taking a holiday was done in Chapter 2. This chapter gives a detailed understanding of how the afore–mentioned factors influence the decision to take a holiday and the effect of taking a holiday on subjective well–being. Article 1 (Chapter 3) and Article 2 (Chapter 4) was based on this chapter's literature. Chapter 3 (Article 1) of this study determined whether holidays lead to positive SWB of pharmacists. In order to achieve this aim, the chapter made use of the Affectomer 2 and Satisfaction with life Scale to determine the pharmacists' subjective well–being before and after taking a holiday. Dependent t–tests were then applied to compare the A distinction on the other hand can be made amongst pharmacists that imply different working conditions and working hours. Therefore Chapter 4 (Article 2) of this study determined all the factors that influence the different groups of pharmacists' holiday taking which ultimately could lead to the enhancement of the profession's well–being. To achieve this, the chapter made use of factor analysis, ANOVAs and chi–square tests to find differences between different pharmacists. The results showed that the three groups of pharmacists (private, government, and industry), differ based on sociodemographic characteristics. These socio–demographic characteristics furthermore influence the different groups of pharmacists' decisions to take holidays which leads to higher subjective well–being. The results of Chapters 3 and 4 indicate that pharmacists experience enhanced wellbeing after taking a holiday and which have implications for different role players. This study is the first to determine the profile of pharmacists and give an indication of their travel behaviour that will assist destinations to alter their product/services to better suit the profile or travel behaviour of pharmacists. Employing companies on the other hand can have financial benefits in the form of low staff turnover and satisfied patients. Although pharmacists are seen as a homogeneous group, pharmacists differ based on socio–demographic characteristics and therefore the Pharmacy Council may enforce the design of different policies for the different groups of pharmacists to reduce the pharmaceutical profession's stress. / Thesis (M.Com.

Tourism is one of the largest economic sectors globally. It is a climate sensitive sector, with climate being one of the most important attributes for a destination. The Tourism Climate Index (TCI), developed by Mieczkowski (1985), is the most widely used index for assessing a destination’s climatic suitability for general tourist activities. Major deficiencies such as the subjectivity of its rating system and component weightings have been identified in the literature, and the need to develop a new index has been identified by researchers for almost a decade. This study aims to fill the research gap by developing a new index, the Holiday Climate Index (HCI), for the purpose of overcoming the deficiencies of the TCI. The HCI was compared with the TCI in rating both current (1961-1990) and future (2010-2039, 2040-2069 and 2070-2099) climatic suitability for tourism of the 15 most visited European city destinations (London, Paris, Istanbul, Rome, Barcelona, Dublin, Amsterdam, Vienna, Madrid, Berlin, Stockholm, Warsaw, Munich, Athens and Venice). The results were also compared with monthly visitation data available for Paris to assess whether the HCI ratings more accurately represent visitation demand than the TCI. The results show that there are key differences between the HCI and TCI in rating the tourism climate suitability of the selected European city destinations, in particular in the winter months of the northern, western and eastern European city destinations where the performance of the TCI had been questioned in the literature. The comparison with leisure tourist visitation data in Paris also revealed that the ratings of the HCI were more reflective of seasonal pattern of tourist arrivals than the TCI ratings. Because the TCI has been widely applied (15 studies), these findings hold important implications for future research in assessing current and future climatic suitability for tourism.

O diálogo entre as discussões de raça e gênero acontecem por meio da problematização das figuras do malandro e do bluesman, respectivamente presentes no samba e no blues. As trajetórias de duas mulheres negras, Billie Holiday e Elza Soares, nos mostram rasuras das narrativas hegemônicas atribuídas a corpos negros femininos. Com base na análise das canções Fine and mellow, My man, Maria da Vila Matilde e Pra fuder, proponho uma tradução cultural entre Billie Holiday e Elza Soares a partir da intempestividade e da predominância dos afetos da alegria e da tristeza em suas performances. A noção de sujeito como agência possibilita pensar a performance como um mecanismo de escrita e de tradução de si através do agora. O tempo do performático instaura rasuras em discursos oficiais e em estruturas de ordenamento cronológico que possibilitam a entrada do “novo” no mundo com políticas de tradução de si. A teoria da performance então entrecruza-se com o campo da tradução através do diálogo entre Agamben (2013), Bhabha (2013), Derrida (2006), Deleuze (2002), Nietzsche (2003) e Spinoza (2009). Além de analisar a performance como uma tradução intempestiva, defendo que, como gesto tradutório, ela é um dispositivo atravessado pelos afetos.

abstract: This study focuses on three songs from stage works of Kurt Weill (1900-1950): “September Song” from Knickerbocker Holiday (1938), “Speak Low” from One Touch of Venus (1943), and “Lost in the Stars” from Lost in the Stars (1949). All from Weill’s time in the United States, these songs are adaptable as solos and have become American standards performed in various arrangements and styles of popular music by many different artists. The first part of this study is a biographical sketch of Weill’s life and music. It is intended to provide context for the three songs by tracing his beginnings as a German composer of stage works with volatile political messages, to his flight to the United States and his emergence as a composer of Broadway successes. The second part is a commentary on the composition of the three selected songs. The lyrics and musical content are examined to show how Weill’s settings convey the dramatic mood and meaning as well as the specific nuances of the words. Description of the context of these songs explains how they were textually and musically intended to advance the plot and the emotional arc of the dramatic characters. The popularity of these songs endures beyond their original shows, and so there is discussion of how other artists have adapted and performed them, and available recordings are cited. Weill’s songs, his little masterpieces, have proven to be truly evocative and so attractive to American audiences that they have undergone myriad adaptations. This study seeks to provide the personal and historical background of Kurt Weill’s music and to demonstrate why these three songs in particular have proven to have such lasting appeal. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Performance 2016

This article offers a theoretical exploration about the massive display of mediaduring the annual celebration of Peru’s National Day. The exploration is basedon the general assumption that this celebration is a central practice of the Modern State-Nation that maintains its political legitimacy and its institutional continuity. In addition, such practice is part of the resources displayed for cultural conformation of its citizens. In this context, the article proposes a series of considerations regarding the interaction of mass media with the ceremonial State practices. / Este artículo ofrece una exploración teórica sobre la actuación de los medios dedifusión masiva en la celebración anual del día nacional del Perú. La exploraciónse basa en la asunción general de que tal celebración es una práctica central delos Estados modernos para mantener su legitimidad política y su continuidadinstitucional, y es parte de los recursos que se despliegan para la conformacióncultural de sus ciudadanos. En este contexto, se reflexiona sobre la interacciónde los medios de comunicación masiva con las actividades ceremoniales propiasde la ocasión, y sobre las consecuencias de esta interacción para dichas prácticasestatales. De acuerdo a lo mencionado, primero repasa algunas nociones elementales sobre el Estado y la Nación, luego examina conceptos básicos sobrelas conmemoraciones nacionales, y finalmente revisa elementos centrales de larelación entre las ceremonias públicas y los medios de comunicación masiva ysus implicaciones en la conformación cultural de los ciudadanos.
