In the seventh century, the Third Council of Constantinople (680-81) denounced monothelitism, the belief that the incarnate Christ has only one will. Consequently, the dyothelite (two-wills) position would become accepted orthodoxy in all three branches of Christian theology: Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, and Protestantism. But in recent decades, several Christian philosophers and theologians have called into question the church’s conciliar position on the volitional life of Christ. For various reasons, these scholars believe that the one-will view better accounts for the unity of Christ's person and the coherency of his Incarnation. This dissertation analyzes three overlapping categories of contemporary monothelitism: abstractist Christologies, kenotic Christologies, and Spirit Christologies (chapter 2). It then seeks to retrieve the biblical and theological rationale for the dyothelite position. After surveying the emergence of the dyothelite consensus in the Patristic and medieval eras (chapter 3), special consideration is given to four Reformed theologians, who each defended the dyothelite position as a part of his broader Christological program: John Calvin, John Gill, William G. T. Shedd, and Thomas F. Torrance (chapter 4). It is concluded that the case for dyothelitism is cumulative and systematic in nature, taking into consideration not only the witnesses of Scripture and tradition, but also the implications of the debate for various loci of systematic theology (chapter 5).

Cette thèse examine comment se construit et évolue la légitimité individuelle du contrôleur de gestion en situation dans l’organisation. Dans un premier temps, un cadre conceptuel est élaboré pour permettre l’étude de la légitimité professionnelle individuelle d’un contrôleur de gestion. Est en particulier mise en évidence la présence de natures et de sources de légitimité distinctes, sur lesquelles se fondent les stratégies de légitimation des contrôleurs. La recherche se fonde sur des études de cas multiples réalisées sur trois terrains distincts. Elle permet de dégager des trajectoires individuelles de construction de légitimité. L’analyse transversale des cas révèle les mécanismes collectifs qui peuvent orienter les trajectoires. Elle détaille les mécanismes d’évaluation qui conduisent les trajectoires à être fructueuses, mais aussi infructueuses. Elle démontre également « l’attraction » que les pressions institutionnelles exercent sur ces trajectoires individuelles de construction de légitimité. / This PhD dissertation examines how the professional legitimacy of management accountants is individually built and evolves over time in organizations. First, a conceptual framework is set to study the individual professional legitimacy of management accountants. It particularly clarifies how legitimation strategies are based on different natures and sources of legitimacy. This research is based on multiple in-depth case studies led in three different organizations. In-depth analysis for each case and inter-case comparison provide a framework for drafting trajectories. Our findings reveal that controllers’ individual legitimacy trajectories end up at a common legitimacy referential (functional legitimacy and cognitive legitimacy), in accordance with management accountant profession archetypes. Our results show institutional pressures placed on the management accountant legitimacy construction process.

Master of Landscape Architecture / Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional & Community Planning / Jessica Canfield / The Kansas City downtown area is experiencing a population influx, which is projected to increase over the next few decades, requiring new residential areas and increased parkland in the downtown. The Kansas City West Bottoms, located between the downtowns of Kansas City Missouri and Kansas City Kansas, is an urban district plagued by vast tracts of underutilized land, poor connectivity, and vulnerability to flooding. To address the issues of the West Bottoms and the area’s need for new urban development, this project proposes the implementation of a new urban park that both supports and is supported by a new urban district. In order to transform the West Bottoms into a vibrant mixed-use community, the park and redevelopment will be phased in over a period of 33 years. Intermediate natures, landscapes that temporarily occupy and improve parts of the city undergoing transformation, will be used to preserve current open space, which will later transition into parkland as the district grows. Ultimately, West Bottoms 2048 will draw users and activity to the district while generating a lasting environmental and economic impact on the downtown area.

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Paulo Tadeu da Silva / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, São Bernardo do Campo, 2018. / A presente dissertação tem como objetivo relacionar, do ponto de vista das Regras para a direção do espírito, a epistemologia, o método e a nascente filosofia natural cartesiana por meio da seguinte pergunta norteadora: como Descartes elaborou a hipótese das naturezas simples materiais, como elas se relacionam com o método e a sua aplicabilidade? Para tanto iniciamos pela discussão sobre quais seriam para Descartes as bases, dentre elas a matemática, para o conhecimento universal acerca das coisas contingentes. Depois, abordamos as naturezas simples, com ênfase nas naturezas simples materiais, a sua importância para a percepção dos objetos corpóreos e a sua relação com os objetos da matemática. Em seguida, investigamos o papel da experiência (sensorial) no processo de obtenção do conhecimento. Na sequência, analisamos a relação entre o intelecto e a imaginação e o seu papel na conciliação do geral ou universal (naturezas simples materiais) com o particular (cada objeto corpóreo). Por fim, foi realizada uma breve discussão a respeito da possibilidade de a natureza simples material extensão ser intuída e a existência da extensão fora de nós ser deduzida sem qualquer contato com um objeto corpóreo. / This dissertation has the aim of relating, from the point of view of the "Rules for the direction of the Mind", the epistemology, the method and the emergent Cartesian natural philosophy through the following guiding question: how did Descartes elaborate the hypothesis of the simple material natures, and how do they relate to the method and its applicability? For this purpose, we iniciate a discussion about the possible bases considered by Descartes for the universal knowledge about the contingent things, including mathematics. Further, we approach the simple natures focusing on the simple material natures and their importance for the perception of the tangible objects, as well as their relation to the mathematical objetes. Subsequently, we investigate the role of experience (sensorial) in the process of acquiring knowledge. After that, we analyse the relationship between the intelect and the imagination, and its role in reconciliating what is general or universal (simple material natures) with what is particular (each tangible object). Finally, we perform a brief discussion related to the possibility of both perceiving the simple material nature of extension and deducing the extension outside us without any contact with a tangible object.

As human activity continues to cause significant global issues, such as the decline of biodiversity, there is an increasing demand to engage with desirable visions of the future. Sustainability research emphasizes the significance of participatory approaches prioritizing nature and incorporating diverse human-nature relationships to promote more inclusive and sustainable paths to a positive future. However, the involvement of youth in current future studies is limited. Urban national parks provide valuable opportunities to investigate people-nature relations and their future. This study conducted a participatory futures workshop that combined the Natures Futures Framework and the Three Horizons Framework with fifteen young individuals living in Stockholm to capture their diverse nature relationships and positive future visions of the Royal National City Park in Stockholm. The workshop identified several aspects of nature in the park appreciated by the group, such as biodiversity, calmness, and the opportunity for recreation and connection to nature. If those values are projected onto a desirable future, this group of youth envisions the park to include reduced pollution, increased biodiversity, stronger protection and regulation, and prioritization of nature, with societal involvement and better accessibility. To support value-inclusive decision-making for the sustainable future of the Royal National City Park, collected values and visions were shared with park stakeholders. By collecting diverse nature value perspectives on a local scale using the Nature Futures Framework, this work contributes to the generation of a global perspective of desirable nature futures. While the Natures Futures Framework proved effective in generating rich value perspectives, a reflection survey revealed that not all participants found the framework easy to understand, particularly the difference between the different value perspectives presented in the framework. In conclusion, this study provides insights into possible futures and inspires actions toward a sustainable future where humans and nature coexist in harmony.

The physicochemical parameters evaluated were pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature and luminosity. The pH and luminosity showed in accord with by law. With respect to conductivity and dissolved oxygen were observed variations when compared to CONAMA 357-2005 standards, the conductivity parameter in the collection point 17 in both in the downstream as well as in the upstream the indexes was too high, it can be justified because of the production of ruminants next to the collection points and also to the have high ground slope, facilitating the flow of wastes from the production to the riverbed. For OD parameter were observed anomalies in points 10,11,12,13,14,15 and 19, those increases are justified because by factors such as: anthropic actions and flood plains in the collection locations. For metals pollutants were observed in all the samples, that Cu and Cr are in accord to the standards set out by law for drinking waters, Cd and Pb showed high values only in point 1 which can mainly due to antropic action, already Zn showed a high value only in point 3, Mn on the other hand was the metal that was above the standard in highest number of points, alterations can be observed in the points 1,2,9,10,11,13,15,16,18, and 20, this was probably due to the geological characteristics of the region which the samples were collected. / Nessa dissertação foi determinada as variações de parâmetros físico-químicos e metais poluentes em água nas nascentes do rio meia ponte em Goiás, onde foram coletadas amostras de 20 pontos a jusante e montante e os dados foram tratados estatisticamente. No Parâmetro físico-químico foi avaliado pH, condutividade, Oxigênio Dissolvido, Temperatura e Luminosidade. Os parâmetros pH e luminosidade encontraram-se dentro da normalidade estabelecida pela legislação. Em relação a Condutividade e Oxigênio Dissolvido ocorreram variações significativas de acordo com os padrões do CONAMA 357-2005. No parâmetro condutividade no ponto de coleta 17 na jusante assim como na montante, os índices ficaram bem elevados e são justificados devido a produção de ruminantes próxima aos pontos de coletas e também ao terreno ter alto declive, facilitando o escoamento de resíduos da produção para o leito do rio. Em relação ao parâmetro OD, foi observada anomalias nos pontos 10,11,12,13,14,15 e 19, são justificados esses aumentos devido a alguns fatores como: ações antrópicas e áreas de várzeas nos locais de coleta. Para os metais poluentes, foi observado em todas as amostras, que o Cu e Cr estão dentro dos padrões estabelecidos pela legislação para águas potáveis, Cd e Pb apresentaram valores elevados apenas em uma mostra coletada no ponto 1,que pode ser devida principalmente a ação antrópica, já o Zn apresentou valor elevado apenas no ponto 3, o Mn por sua vez foi o metal que esteve acima dos padrões em maior número de pontos podendo ser observadas alterações nos pontos, 1,2,9,10,11,13,15,16,18 e 20, isso provavelmente deve-se às características geológicas da região onde as amostras foram coletadas.

本論文是針對日本學界之宇井伯壽、上田義文所提及的識轉變及三性 概念所做之分析。論文中以安慧、真諦、玄奘三人在唯識三十頌的不同文 為基底，對唯識無境此概念進行考察。 論文中發現唯識無境此一語詞 在使用中並非如同真諦在轉識論中所宣稱的一般--為一修行之中間階位， 而是一種對外境非如實有的說法而已。在真諦的系統中，因為此語詞的誤 解所帶來的結果，使得其以為識為能緣，境為所緣，識即為依他性，境即 為分別性，這本來僅是世親以外境非實有，識為依他性的敘述。真諦的詮 釋使得凡夫位在識的性格也可為依他性。而這也是成唯識論中強調位次修 行所不能允許的。 論文末並展示成唯識論之五位修行與真諦在攝大 乘論及轉識論的對比。
