La culture de l'honneur, notion primordiale dans la structuration de la société médiévale, fait ici l'objet d'un développement particulier au travers de l'angleterre des xive-xve siècles. cette analyse tente de dresser un tableau global des représentations sociales liées à l'honneur, en particulier dans le contexte de l'affirmation de l'état. sont ainsi explorés les mécanismes d'hybridation ou de rejet entre les diverses appréciations de l'honneur, en analysant notamment l'impact des efforts d'encadrement de l'honneur de la part de l'état ou de l'église dans l'émergence de nouvelles conceptions de l'honneur. dans cette optique, de nombreux développements mettent en lumière la façon dont les individus ou les groupes conçoivent et expriment à leurs niveaux la notion d'honneur, ainsi que les comportements, les attitudes attendues, notamment aux travers des violences d'honneur, qui permettent de s'affirmer dans le regard des autres comme un « homme honorable ». en outre, le cas plus spécifique de la noblesse y est naturellement largement exprimé, en particulier dans la perspective des changements profonds qui affectent ce groupe dans l'Angleterre des XIV-XV siècles, liés à l'affaiblissement des liens de loyauté, à l'émergence des réseaux de clientèle et à l'ouverture de la gentry à de nouveaux membres, dans le cadre du « féodalisme bâtard ». au sein de cette noblesse, une attention spécifique est aussi accordée aux références spécifiques des magnats. / The culture of honor, a vital concept in the structure of medieval society, here is the subject of a particular analysis through england in the late middle age. This analysis attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of social representations of honor, within the main groups in society. In this regard, many developments highlight how individuals and groups perceive and express the concept of honor. This study also aims to show how individuals or groups trying to assert their honorable character, including through violence. In addition, the more specific case of the aristocracy is naturally well treated, in particular in view of the profound changes that have affected this group in england during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, related to the phenomenon of "bastard feudalism" and decline in military experience. In addition, this study explains the operating principle of honor, particularly as regards the ties between the honor and social status. This thesis also highlights the impact of state formation on the culture of honor, especially on the honor of the nobles and gentlemen.

Verificou-se, nesse trabalho, como o processo de separação do casamento civil do religioso influenciou na (re)elaboração das referidas representações, bem como a forma que as questões ligadas aos sistemas de hierarquia social, as questões raciais, ao desenvolvimento científico e ao ‘aburguesamento’ da sociedade se estabeleciam como critérios de estabelecimento de imaginários. Foi utilizada uma variada gama de fontes, composta por documentos médicos, jurídicos (civis e canônicas) e ficcionais, bem como uma metodologia que mescla teorias historiográficas provenientes da Nova História Cultural, da História do Gênero, etc. Conceitos como os de Gênero, na forma como proposta por Scott; Representações, segundo Chartier; Micro-História e método indiciário, na forma estabelecida por Ginzburg, foram de utilidade indiscutível, bem como as teorias de Foucault que defendem o uso de uma metodologia que dê voz aos discursos dos agentes históricos do passado. The wealthier extracts of Bahia and Brazil’s society had their own images and ideas on wedding, honor and the ideal male and female profiles, in the 19th century, which expressed the social and cultural codes that guided social coexistence. It has been verified on this work, how the separation between the civil and religious wedding helped (re)create these images and ideas, as well as the way the hierarchic systemrelated issues, the social questions, the scientific development and the growing bourgeois profile of our society established themselves as ways of creating images and representations. A varied range of sources has been used, both real and fictional, such as medical records, juridical (civil and canonic) documents, as well as a methodology that mixes historical theories from the New Cultural History, the History of Human Gender etc. Concepts like gender, as proposed by Scott; representations, according to Chartier; Micro-History and ‘detailing method’, as established by Ginzburg, were unquestionably useful, and so were the theories by Foucault which defended the use of a methodology that referred importance to the ideas of the historical agents of the past. / Salvador

Master of Arts / Department of Curriculum and Instruction / Thomas Vontz / The Honor Flight Network is a national non-profit organization based out of Springfield, Ohio, with the mission to “transport our heroes to Washington D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials.” Kansas Honor Flight – Wamego High School pairs high school students from the local chapter of the National Honor Society with area veterans. This experiential service-learning project provides America’s next generation the opportunity to connect with and learn from America’s “G.I. Generations.” Veterans of World War II, the Korean War, and the Viet Nam War are accompanied by student-guardians who serve as their assistants and guides. The avowed mission is accomplished with students first and foremost providing service for their veteran through the duration of the trip. Yet, the promise of the journey is realized when the student-guardians are able to witness the memorials through the eyes of those who exemplified courage, fortitude, patriotism, service, and sacrifice – flesh and blood representatives of civic virtue. Similarly, the veterans behold the beneficiaries of their sacrifice providing respectful service; virtuous acts voluntary, not obligatory. Different generations of constitutional stakeholders – those who actively preserved the republican experiment, others preparing to be engaged participants therein – experiencing hope for the future as well as gratitude for those who came before. This report includes a narrative of the inaugural mission of Kansas Honor Flight – Wamego High School. Using said narrative as exemplar of following flights, the report chronicles the creation of bridging social capital through implicit reciprocity and the emergence of intergenerational trust-building. The spanning of generations is discussed through the sharing of enduring republican principles. Heroes are democratized as witness is bore by the soldier who lived to tell the tale.

The aim of this bachelor essay was to study the phenomenon of forced marriage among women who are living in Sweden with another ethnic and cultural background than Swedes. To investigate different kinds of marriage settings, the honor culture, honor violence and murder in connection to forced marriage. The following question has been formulated: What are the respondent’s experiences and/or interpretation of the phenomenon of forced marriage? Five interviews have been conducted with women who have different interpretations, experiences or knowledge within the phenomenon of forced marriage, such as own experiences, experiences from family members and knowledge from professionals. Radical feministic theory was used for the interpretation of the result. The result shows that the women in the study shared many opinions regarding the consequences, interpretations and experiences connected to the phenomenon such as limited freedom and lack of education and employment opportunities.

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 902773 bytes, checksum: ecb09fa9acecc8c3fa0d197b7e9bf8a5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-09-09 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The current thesis aimed at understanding the influence of different cultural contexts on honor concerns, human values and personality traits. More specifically, it aimed at developing an explanatory model where personality traits predict human values, and these explain honor concerns, being mediated by the cultural context. The specific goals were to: (1) evaluate the relationship between these constructs; (2) compare the cultural influence of capitals, countryside cities, and Brazilian regions; e (3) develop a cross-cultural comparison between Brazil and New Zealand. For that, three empirical studies were developed, using the following measures: Honor Concerns Scale, Basic Values Survey, and the Big Five Inventory. Study 1 had the goal to map these constructs over the Brazilian context, aiming at knowing how they would behave in different geographical levels of Brazil. For this study, the sample was composed by 7,024 people from 24 states of Brazil (North = 1,479, Northeast = 2.806, Midwest = 958, Southeast = 956, and South = 825). The results point to a good level of cultural variability among the regions for all the constructs, especially regarding the types of honor concerns: family [F (4, 7019) = 41.343, p < .001, η2 partial = .023], social [F (4, 7019) = 6.222, p < .001, η2 partial = .004], feminine [F (4, 7019) = 60.214, p < .001, η2 partial = .033] and masculine [F (4, 7019) = 57.262, p < .001, η2 partial = .032], corroborating the hypothesis that this would be the construct to present more variability. Once the variations and national profiles were designed, Study 2 aimed at evaluating the direct relation between the constructs, with the same sample previously described being used. The results demonstrated a concise explanatory model, where personality served as independent variable, and humans values as the mediator in the explanation of honor in all regions. The free model [Sχ2 (60) 339.95, CFI = .98, TLI = .91, SRMR = .02, RMSEA = .05 (.05 - .06)] and the constrained model [Sχ2 (268) 836.09, CFI = .97, TLI = .96, SRMR = .04, RMSEA = .04 (.03 - .04)] presented satisfactory fit indices. Finally, in Study 3 the goal was to replicate these findings in a cross-cultural level, considering a sample from New Zealand, composed by 196 participants and randomly selected samples from all the regions of Brazil. The results pointed to a significant cultural variability between the countries regarding personality [F (25, 4373) = 5.587, p < .001; Λ Wilks = .89, η2 partial = .023], values [F (30, 5840) = 18.509, p < .001, Λ Wilks = .64, η2 partial = .086] and honor concerns [F (20, 3881) = 12.654, p < .001, Λ Wilks = .81, η2 partial = .051]. Regarding the specific scores, it was observed that the region more similar to New Zealand was the South. Referring to the replication of the model, the free model [Sχ2 (72) 145,82, CFI = .97, TLI = .87, SRMR = .02, RMSEA = .07 (.05 - .09)], the constrained model [Sχ2 (262) 414.09, CFI = .94, TLI = .93, SRMR = .10, RMSEA = .05 (.04 - .06)] and partially constrained [Sχ2 (262) 374.28, CFI = .96, TLI = .94, SRMR = .10, RMSEA = .05 (.03 - .06)] presented satisfactory fit indices. Having said that, it is concluded that the current thesis reached its general goals of demonstrating the importance of culture for personality, values and honor in a national and international context, besides showing the direct relationship between these three constructs. / A presente tese objetivou conhecer a influência de diferentes contextos culturais sobre a preocupação com a honra, os valores humanos e os traços de personalidade. Além disso, visou propor um modelo explicativo no qual os traços de personalidade predizem os valores humanos e estes, por sua vez, explicam a preocupação com a honra, sendo mediados pelo contexto cultural. Como objetivos, buscou-se: (1) avaliar a relação entre tais construtos; (2) comparar a influência cultural de capitais, cidades do interior e regiões brasileiras; e (3) comparar transculturalmente o Brasil e a Nova Zelândia. Para tanto, foram realizados três estudos empíricos, utilizando-se das seguintes medidas: Escala de Preocupação com a Honra, Questionário dos Valores Básicos e Inventário dos Cinco Grandes Fatores da Personalidade. O Estudo 1 teve como objetivo mapear estes construtos no contexto brasileiro, buscando conhecer como eles se comportam em diferentes níveis geográficos do Brasil. Para tal, contou-se com a participação de 7.024 pessoas de 24 unidades federativas (Norte = 1.479, Nordeste = 2.806, Centro-Oeste = 958, Sudeste = 956 e Sul = 825). Os resultados apontaram para uma grande variabilidade cultural entre as regiões em todos os construtos, principalmente na preocupação com a honra: familiar [F (4, 7019) = 41,343; p < 0,001; η2 parcial = 0,023], social [F (4, 7019) = 6,222; p < 0,001; η2 parcial = 0,004], feminina [F (4, 7019) = 60,214; p < 0,001; η2 parcial = 0,033] e masculina [F (4, 7019) = 57,262; p < 0,001; η2 parcial = 0,032], corroborando a hipótese de que este seria o construto de maior variabilidade. Verificadas as variações e perfis nacionais, buscou-se avaliar, no Estudo 2, a relação direta entre os construtos, onde foi utilizada a mesma amostra descrita previamente. Os resultados demonstraram um modelo explicativo conciso, onde a personalidade serviu de variável independente e os valores humanos serviram de variáveis mediadoras na explicação da preocupação com a honra em todas as regiões. Tanto o modelo livre para variações específicas [Sχ2 (60) 339,95, CFI = 0,98, TLI = 0,91, SRMR = 0,02, RMSEA = 0,05 (0,05 - 0,06)] como o modelo restrito [Sχ2 (268) 836,09, CFI = 0,97, TLI = 0,96, SRMR = 0,04, RMSEA = 0,04 (0,03 - 0,04)] apresentaram índices de ajuste satisfatórios. Por fim, no Estudo 3, buscou-se replicar os estudos apresentados em contexto transcultural, considerando uma amostra da Nova Zelândia, composta por 196 indivíduos naturais do país, além de amostras selecionadas randomicamente de todas as regiões do Brasil. Os resultados apontaram para uma grande variabilidade cultural entre tais países no que concerne à personalidade [F (25, 4373) = 5,587, p < 0,001, Λ Wilks = 0,89, η2 parcial = 0,023], valores [F (30, 5840) = 18,509, p < 0,001, Λ Wilks = 0,64, η2 parcial = 0,086] e preocupação com a honra [F (20, 3881) = 12,654, p < 0,001, Λ Wilks = 0,81, η2 parcial = 0,051]. Em relação às pontuações específicas, observou-se que a região brasileira de resultados mais parecidos com a Nova Zelândia foi a Sul. No que diz respeito à replicação do modelo explicativo, tanto o modelo livre para variações específicas [Sχ2 (72) 145,82, CFI = 0,97, TLI = 0,87, SRMR = 0,02, RMSEA = 0,07 (0,05 - 0,09)], como o modelo fixo [Sχ2 (262) 414,09, CFI = 0,94, TLI = 0,93, SRMR = 0,10, RMSEA = 0,05 (0,04 - 0,046)] e parcialmente fixo [Sχ2 (262) 374,28, CFI = 0,96, TLI = 0,94, SRMR = 0,10, RMSEA = 0,05 (0,03 - 0,06)] apresentaram índices de ajuste satisfatórios. Com isso, conclui-se que a presente tese alcançou os objetivos de demonstrar a importância da cultura na personalidade, nos valores e na honra em contextos nacional e internacional, além de demonstrar a relação direta entre estes três construtos.

Durante a ?ltima d?cada, os trabalhos sobre os honor?rios de auditoria ganharam relev?ncia no cen?rio brasileiro a partir da divulga??o dos montantes pagos aos auditores independentes, haja vista que a obrigatoriedade de tais informa??es s? se deu a partir de 2009 por meio da Instru??o CVM n? 480/2009 da Comiss?o de Valores Mobili?rios. Nesse contexto, a discuss?o sobre a remunera??o dos auditores se intensifica ao perceber o market-share das empresas Big Four. Por outro lado, tamb?m se discute a qualidade dos servi?os prestados pelas grandes firmas, principalmente em eventos de fraudes financeiras ou por procedimentos inadequados das empresas de auditoria, como por exemplo, emiss?o de opini?o sem a finaliza??o dos pap?is de trabalho, o que pode revelar um crit?rio falho de estudos ao determinar a qualidade de auditoria apenas em fun??o de ser ou n?o uma Big Four. A partir da realidade encontrada, a presente pesquisa busca contribuir com uma an?lise sobre a rela??o de custo x benef?cio dos servi?os, monitoramento das pol?ticas de pre?os das empresas de auditoria, al?m de possibilitar que as firmas de auditoria verifiquem o montante de honor?rios cobrados em fun??o da qualidade do servi?o a ser prestado, auxiliando-as em negocia??es e manuten??o de clientes. De modo a atingir este objetivo, a pesquisa utiliza dados das companhias abertas brasileiras n?o financeiras listadas na BM&FBovespa no per?odo de 2010 a 2015. A coleta de dados se deu por meio do Bloomberg? e Formul?rios de Refer?ncia, que ap?s tabula??o, s?o submetidos em modelos de regress?o com dados em painel. As principais vari?veis de an?lise compreendem os honor?rios de auditoria independente (vari?vel dependente) e qualidade da auditoria (vari?vel de interesse), esta obtida atrav?s do modelo KS (1995) de gerenciamento de resultados por accruals discricion?rios. Os principais resultados revelam que n?o ? poss?vel inferir rela??o estat?stica entre os honor?rios de auditoria e a qualidade dos servi?os, entretanto demonstram que uma an?lise do tamanho e do risco da empresa auditada s?o relacionados positivamente com os honor?rios, assim como o fato da empresa ser uma Big Four. / The present study aims to present an analysis of the influence of the quality of the audit from the results management, about the fees charged by independent auditors in Brazil. During the last decade, the work on the audit fees gained relevance in the Brazilian scenario from the disclosure of the amounts paid to independent auditors, given that the requirement for such information gave only from 2009 through the CVM Instruction 480/2009 of the Comiss?o de Valores Mobili?rios. In this context, the discussion on the audit fees intensifies when the market share of the Big Four companies. Otherwise, it also discusses the quality of the services provided by the big firms, especially in events of financial fraud or improper procedures audit companies, as for example, issuance of opinion without the submission of working papers, which may reveal a flawed criterion of studies to determine the quality of auditing only due to be a Big Four. From the reality found, this research seeks to contribute to an analysis of the cost-benefit of services, monitoring the pricing policies of the auditing firms, in addition to enabling audit firms also to check the amount of fees collected as a function of the quality of service being provided, assisting them in negotiations and maintaining customers. To achieve this goal, the research uses data from Brazilian non-financial companies listed on the BM&FBovespa during the period from 2010 to 2015. Data collection occurred through the Bloomberg? and Reference Forms after tab, are submitted in regression models with panel data. The main analysis variables comprise the audit fees (dependent variable) and audit quality (variable of interest), this obtained through the model KS (1995) earnings management for discretionary accruals. The main results show that cannot infer statistical relationship between audit fees and the audit quality, however demonstrate that an analysis of the size and risk of the audited company are positively related with the fees, as well as the fact that the company be a Big Four.
