Perceptions differed based on educational experience, and managerial levels. Top managers with Ph.Ds tended to view performance as related to Grunig's Press Agentry and One-Way Information models. Fewer level employees saw performance related to the Two-Way Asymmetrical and Symmetrical models. The researcher concluded that the more higher educated level managers had a better understanding of the reality of performance of public relations in IPA. Main attitudes from the sorts of the participants showing a significantly and different attitude in how directors generals and directors perceived public relations was being practiced in the IPA.

A GIRL, forced to marry her father after he sees her playing in his dead wife???s wedding gown, runs away wearing five dresses. Four dresses are of silk and they are beautiful. The last dress is of wood. It is in this dress that the girl escapes, throwing herself into the river to float away. A prince saves the girl but treats her badly, for she wears an ugly wood frock. Her suffering is eased at night when the girl takes off the wood dress and dances in her silk ones. The prince discovers the girl in the silk dresses and falls in love. They live happily ever after. This thesis is based on a fairy tale in which a girl???s life is changed by what she wears. In Fair Maiden Wood clothing is a means to identity. Costume is what identifies this girl as her father???s new bride, and it reveals to the shallow prince who his true love is. It is through clothing that we identify the fairy tale. But more significantly, it is through clothing that the girl experiences the outside world. The girl lives through her wood frock ??? it is the vessel by which she escapes the threat of incest, it is the prison that disguises her beauty from the prince; it is her armor, her cage, her temporary home. The wood frock becomes the girl???s first architecture, protecting and sheltering the girl in the most intimate manner, controlling her most immediate environment. But its role is not limited to enclosure; the wood dress also changes the girl???s experience of her surroundings, extending her bodily influence while also constraining it. The wood dress dictates how the girl moves, how much space she needs, how others see her, and how they treat her. It is an environment, elusively defined by the dialogue between her moving body and the surface of the wood shell surrounding her, which changes the girl???s quality of existence. In this in-between silhouette is a most potent, and poetic, form of architecture. In my thesis I continue the story of the girl in the wood frock through the design of three of her five gowns. The gowns reference the work of designers such as Cristobal Balenciaga or Issey Miyake whose clothes, by virtue of their construction and materiality, affect wearer and observer in startling and profound fashion. Their garments show a symbiotic relationship between body and shell, where the shell is not simply a passive enclosure but a responsive and independent extension of the body. My dresses are made with this symbiosis in mind, and I use their (painstaking) construction in order to propose that in clothing is the potential to create spatial environments that change fundamental perceptions by filtering and extending the wearer???s experience of the world and her effect on it. These dresses and the spaces they create are unique. They are not costumes of the everyday, used to suppress sensation in order to function; instead they are of the special day, when the girl seeks to be stimulated, enlightened, and also saved. They are dresses of heightened awareness, integrating both sense and action within their shifting boundaries, shaping a dynamic, albeit fleeting, architecture.

相較過去冷戰時期的輝煌，台灣現今的國際地位黯然失色許多。自從台灣退出聯合國，與美國斷交後，台灣 (中華民國)的外交地位已漸漸在政治上被孤立。當戒嚴末期，台灣迫切地想重返過去的外交榮景。然而，面對中華人民共和國的威脅時，台灣在國際社會上極為艱困地維繫自己的主權。台灣的領導人透過積極參與國際組織與互動，尤其是聯合國與美國對台軍售，來打破如此艱困的外交處境。 在三屆的總統任期中，台灣對聯合國與對美軍售策略已漸漸形成雛形。在初步研究下，美國對台軍售有可能對台灣加入聯合國政策出現影響。換言之，購得有力的武器，台灣加入聯合國的策略就越顯積極。 回顧美國與台灣政府的文獻資料，台灣領導人訪談紀錄，報章雜誌和其他官方文件與紀錄，此研究旨在檢視在三位總統(李登輝、陳水扁、馬英九)任期內 (1990 到 2014年)，美國同意對台軍售與台灣加入聯合國的策略。研究結果指出美國對台軍售的武器打擊能力與台灣加入聯合國政策相關的可能性。 / Taiwan’s present international status has degraded considerably since its former glory days during the Cold War era. With its ejection out of the United Nations (UN) and a diplomatic severance with its most vital ally, the United States, Taiwan (ROC) has slowly slipped into political limbo. The island has frantically strived to pull itself back into the world community since the end of martial law. However, it has struggled to maintain its sovereignty and international status in the face of constant threat from the PRC (People’s Republic of China) . Taiwan’s leaders have sought alternative strategies to combat such adverse diplomatic conditions through increasing its membership or participation in various global organizations—particularly the United Nations, and continued arms purchases from the US. Within the span of three presidencies, there appears to be a pattern between Taiwan’s UN strategies and US approved arms sales. Upon initial research, US weapons sales appear to have an effect on UN policy. That is, the more significant the arms sale, the more aggressive Taiwan’s methods for UN participation becomes. Drawing from US and Taiwanese government records, Taiwanese presidential interviews, newspaper articles and other official documents and transcripts, this dissertation aims to examine US approved arms sales and UN strategies under three Taiwanese presidents: Lee Teng Hui, Chen Shui-Bian and Ma Ying Jeou from 1990 to 2014. The findings indicate a possible indirect correlation. Considering the weapons’ strategic capability, Taiwan’s UN strategy fluctuates accordingly.

Orientador: Maria Isabel Castreghini de Freitas / Banca: Lindon Fonseca Matias / Banca: Darlene Aparecida de Oliveira Ferreira / Resumo: O problema das ocupações urbanas irregulares no Brasil é um dos temas mais estudados atualmente. Uma solução para reduzir boa parte de seus problemas é o conhecimento de sua realidade por meio de suas características socioeconômicas. Nesse contexto, o objetivo da pesquisa é determinar o perfil socioeconômico do bairro Cidade Nova no município de Timon (MA), com o auxilio de geotecnologias. Desta forma, foi realizada uma abordagem integrada, a partir de duas dimensões da análise geográfica. A caracterização socioeconômica e a análise de sua distribuição espacial. Para alcançar os objetivos, foram usadas pesquisa de campo, técnicas de cartografia digital, sistema de informação geográfica, combinadas com as modelagens de estatísticas tradicionais e da geoestatística para a elaboração de mapas temáticos através da técnica de krigagem, numa abordagem quantiqualitativa. Os resultados e a análise espacial geográfica mostram que grande parte da população do bairro Cidade Nova é constituída de famílias de baixa escolaridade e renda, e a maioria trabalha na informalidade. A utilização de técnicas de geoprocessamento por meio da integração de dados espaciais e alfanuméricos permitiu análise dos dados geográficos de forma dinâmica e eficaz, comprovando a potencialidade dessa tecnologia no auxilio da análise de dados socioeconômicos e obtenção de informações relevantes para o ordenamento, planejamento e gestão urbanos / Abstract: The problem irregular urban occupations in Brazil are one of the themes more studied now. A solution to reduce good part of their problems are the knowledge of their reality through their socioeconomic characteristics. In that context the objective of the research is to determine the socioeconomic profile of the neighborhood "Cidade Nova" in the municipal district of Timon-MA, with aid of geotecnologies. This way, an integrated approach was accomplished, starting from two dimensions of the geographical analysis. The socioeconomic characterization and the analysis space distribution, to reach the objectives were used field research, techniques of digital cartography, system of geographical information, combined with the modelling of traditional statistics and of the geostatistic for the elaboration of thematic maps through the "krigagem technique", a quantiqualitative approach. The results and the geographical space analysis show that great part of the population of the neighborhood "Cidade Nova" is constituted of families of low education, income and most work in the informality. The use of geoprocessing techniques through the space and alphanumeric integration of data, allowed analysis of the geographical data in a dynamic and effective way, proving the potentiality of that technology in aid of the analysis of socioeconomic data and obtaining of relevant information for the orderly, planning and urban administration / Mestre

This thesis discusses the interaction between the concepts of ”justice” (ma‛at) and ”law” (hpw) in ancient Egypt. Ma‛at, one of the earliest abstract terms in human speech, was a central principle and, although no codex of Egyptian law has been found, there is abundant evidence of written law, designed to realise ma‛at on earth. The king, as the highest legal authority, was the nexus between ma‛at and the law. Egyptologists have few sources of knowledge about law and justice in ancient Egypt because the ancient Egyptians used commonplace language in legal documents and they only had a few imprecise technical terms relating to law. For Egyptology to advance, therefore, we need to reappraise its sources. The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant has a strong legal background and should be treated as an additional source of information about how law and justice were perceived and carried out in ancient Egypt. / Classics and Modern European Languages / M.A. (Ancient Languages and Cultures)

Seu objetivo é analisar a relação existente entre gestão democrática, forma de provimento do cargo de gestor escolar e participação na gestão da escola pública ludovicense. Tal objetivo foi perseguido devido à necessidade de aprofundamento e proliferação dos estudos em torno da gestão democrática da escola pública maranhense e a necessidade intrínseca de mudança na forma de provimento do cargo de gestor escolar na Rede Estadual de Ensino. Para tanto, buscou-se especificamente, demarcar os fundamentos teóricos acerca da temática em questão; delinear os limites e possibilidades das formas de provimento do cargo de gestor escolar; e diagnosticar a percepção dos gestores escolares da Rede Estadual de Ensino de São Luís sobre a gestão da escola pública ludovicense. A pesquisa se baseou em dois tipos de levantamento. Para o primeiro, de caráter bibliográfico e documental, foram consultados estudos e pesquisas que tratam da temática da gestão democrática da escola pública maranhense, especialmente, os que foram elaborados após a promulgação da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDBEN).

A partir do trabalho de campo, objetiva: discutir as bases teóricas do novo projeto, incluindo a Pedagogia das Competências, as Metodologias Ativas de Aprendizagem e a Aprendizagem baseada em Problemas; analisar o percurso da implantação, englobando as suas redefinições e dificuldades; contextualizar as mudanças do ensino médico na UFMA com a história e as grandes questões colocadas no campo da Educação Médica. Numa investigação de cunho quali-quantitativo, utiliza-se da análise de conteúdo para investigar os discursos dos alunos captados em questionários, em perguntas abertas, fechadas, baseadas na escala de Likert e em comentários livres. A análise dos resultados produziu como conclusões: o processo de implantação do novo projeto pedagógico encontrou graves dificuldades, levando à redefinição das suas diretrizes metodológicas, em razão de condições estruturais do curso e da universidade deficientes, com precário apoio de laboratório e de suporte à pesquisa, imprescindíveis para a utilização das novas metodologias; dificuldades inerentes à implantação de um sistema baseado em diretrizes construtivistas, que determina mudanças nas teorias implícitas de ensino e aprendizagem de professores e alunos; fraco envolvimento de professores e alunos no processo; apoio pedagógico e programas de capacitação docente insuficientes; falhas na elaboração, discussão e do projeto curricular com a comunidade universitária... / This investigation approaches the process for the implantation of the new Political Pedagogic Project for the Medical Course at the Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA). It presents a research involving students from the first four classes that attended this new curriculum. From the starting point of field work it aims at: discussing the new project‟s theoretical bases, including Competence-based Pedagogy, Active Learning Methodologies and Problem-based Learning; evaluating the implantation path, encompassing its redefinitions and difficulties; and contextualizing changes within medical teaching in the UFMA by means of exploring history and major issues that were advanced in the field of Medical Education. In a quality-quantitative investigation, researchers resorted to the content analysis of questionnaires bearing data from students in open and closed questions based on Likert scale and free commentaries. Analysis of results provided the following conclusions: the implantation process of the new pedagogical project was hampered by serious issues, which led to the redefinition of its methodological guidelines due to the course‟s structural conditions and ill-functioning universities lacking laboratorial support to research, an item of invaluable importance to include new methodologies; detection of inherent difficulties to the implantation of a system based on constructivist guidelines which determine changes within implicit theories for teaching and learning directed to teachers and students; uninspired participation of teachers and students in the process; inadequate pedagogical support and faculty development programs in order to improve teachers' performance; failure in the elaboration… (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
