This dissertation of limited scope explored via a qualitative reflective approach how pastoral therapy and care practices contributed to workplace transformation and ethics at a factory that had to be restored to profitability. In Chapter 1, the study's research curiosity questions how pastoral therapy and care practices could inform business in its resistance of workplace trauma and injustice. The epistemology of contextual theology and social constructionism is reviewed in Chapter 2 in its support of the research. Themes and ideas such as; participatory ethical care, ethics, the prophetic role, narratives, workplace culture, witnessing and participant awareness and empowerment are applied to workplace culture transformation. Chapter 3 explores the factory's dominant story of low morale, financial loss and feelings of no hope for the future in context of discourses of capitalism. In resistance to the dominant story, Chapter 4 focuses on practices and experiences that supported the factory's alternative story and Chapter 5 reviews the factory's alternative story in context of purposeful transformation practice. Chapter 6 concludes the study by reflecting on the research curiosity, the research aims and the researcher's development. / Practical Theology / M.

Stress, a feeling of pressure, tension, strain or threat, is a problem for contemporary female participants in the primary and secondary educational milieus who automatically respond to stressors (causes of stress), in the same way as women and girls in the past, since human beings have not changed psychologically and biologically over the millennia. Like their ancestors many female educators, learners and caregivers today do not return to a calm mental and physical state after an initial stress reaction. They often remain under stress, which results in emotional, behavioural, physical and cognitive manifestations of stress. Moreover, females may be predisposed to stress because of psychological, biological and social factors that have underpinned their response to time-related stressors that have faced them throughout history. Yet, history has also shown that women and girls taught and learnt successful stress coping mechanisms. Insight into these universal truths may provide educational solutions to a universal problem / Educational Studies / D.Ed. (History of Education)

Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Die term deiksis is afgelei van die Griekse woord deiktikos wat 'wys na' betaken, en verwys na daardie uitdrukkings wat in 'n taal gebruik word om die belangrikste orientasiepunte in 'n gespreksituasie te verwoord. Aile deiktiese interpretasies kan net relatief tot 'n spesifieke verwysingspunt (deiktiese sentrum) gemaak word. Vyf deiktiese kategoriee word onderskei. Persoonsdeiksis hou verband met die deiktiese persona, m.a.w. die spreker en aangesprokeneen moontlik 'n derde persoon indian hy/sy/dit in die gespreksituasie teenwoordig is. Persoonsdeiksis word hoofsaaklik in Noord-Sotho se kongruensie-en pronominale sisteem gereflekteer. Sosiale deiksis verwys na daardie uitdrukkings wat die spreker se houding teenoor die aangesprokene of die derde persoon weergee. In Noord-Sotho word leksikale items met 'n sosiaal--deiktiese funksie aangetrefwat die spreker se bewondering, afkeer of respek teenoor die aangesprokene reflekteer, asook verwantskapstenne en aanspreekvonne. Alhoewel Noord-Sotho se pro nominate stelsel neutraal is ten opsigte van geslag, is daar ander maniere om taalkundig 'n onderskeid tussen die geslagte te maak. Plekdeiktiese uitdrukkings word gebruik om die Jigging van 'n objek relatief tot die deiktiese sentrum te beskryf. Die posisie van die gespreksgenote of hulle fisiese gestaltes kan hierdie deiktiese sentrum uitmaak. In Noord-Sothoword demonstratiewe, demonstratief-kopulatiewe, lokatiewe kopulatiewe,lokatiewe bywoorde en sekere werkwoorde vir hierdie doe I aangewend. Tyddeiksis word in Noord-Sotho hoofsaaklik deur middel van temporale bywoorde geleksikaliseer en deur middel van tydsvonne in die werkwoord gegrammatikaliseer. Die interpretasie van hierdie uitdrukkings is van die deiktiese sentrum (tyd wanneer die uiting gemaak is) afhanklik. Temporale bywoorde sowel as die tydsvonn van die werkwoord beskryf die tyd wanneer die handeling plaasvind. Hierdie vonne sal aandui of die handeling v66r koderingstyd plaasgevind het (verlede tyd), of dit na koderingstyd sal plaasvind (toe~omende tyd), en of die handeling met koderingstyd saamval (teenwoordige tyd). Diskoersdeiksis verwys na daardie uitdrukkings wat gebruik word om na dele van die diskoers, of na naamwoordelike antesedente waarvoor daar nie 'n referent in die buitetaalse werklikheid bestaan nie, te verwys. In Noord-Sothoword demonstratiewe, pronomina van die derde persoon, demonstratief-kopulatiewe, sekere bywoorde, identifiserende kopulatiewe, sekere kwalifikatiewe en sekere voegwoorde vir hierdie doel aangewend. / The term deixis is derived from a Greek word deiktikos which means 'point at' and it is used in grammar to refer to those expressions which describe the essential points of orientation in a speech situation. The interpretation of deictic expressions can only be made in relation to a specific reference point (the deictic centre). Five deictic categories are distinguished. Person deixis concerns the deictic persons, that is the speaker, the addressee and possibly a third person if he/she/it is present in the speech situation. Person deixis is mainly reflected in the concordia! and the pronominal system of Northern Sotho. Social deixis refers to those expressions which reflect the speaker's attitude towards the addressee or the third person. Such expressions include lexical items which reflect the speaker's admiration, dislike or respect towards the addressee, as well as kinship terms and vocatives. Although the pronominal system of Northern Sotho is neutral with regard to sex, there are other linguistic ways in which gender distinctions can be drawn. Place deictic expressions are used to identify the location of an object relative to the deictic centre. The location of the speech participants or their bodies may constitute this deictic centre. Demonstratives, demonstrative-copulatives, locational copulatives, locative adverbs and certain verbs are used for this purpose in Northern Sotho. Time deixis is mainly lexicalised by means of temporal adverbs and grammaticalised by means of tense morphemes in the Northern Sotho verb. The interpretation of these expressions depends on the deictic centre (time when the utterance is made). Time adverbs as well as the tenses describe the time of an event. These structures will indicate whether the action took place before coding time (past tense), whether it will take place after coding time (future tense), or whether it coincides with coding time (present tense). Discourse deixis pertains to those expressions which are used to refer to parts of the discourse, or to nominal antecedents of which the referent is not present in the extra-linguistic context of the utterance. Demonstratives, demonstrative copulatives, third person pronouns, certain adverbs, identifying copulatives, certain qualificatives and certain conjunctions are used for this purpose in Northern Sotho. / African Languages / D Litt. et Phil.

REŠOVSKÁ Radka: Participants of the civil proceedings. [Graduation theses] / Radka Rešovská - Charles University in Prague. Faculty of Law, Department of Civil Law. - Head of the Graduation theses: doc. JUDr. Alena Macková, Ph.D, Prague: PrF UK, 2011. The graduation theses deal with contemporary legal regulations of the civil proceeding participants. A big attention was dedicated to particular definitions of the participants within contentious and non-contentious proceedings. The presumptions are being analysed of which a certain person can become the participant in proceedings and the presumptions of which the participant in proceedings is legitimated to act on his/her own behalf in the trial. Object of theses are also different kinds of representation of the participants, i.e. representation at law, representation at judicial decision or representation under the power of attorney. A relevant part of theses is characteristics of the principle of equality which is reflected in status of participants of the civil proceedings and is a part of the right of due process. A body of the fundamental procedural rights and duties of participants is being presented which constitute the content of procedural relations realized by this way. Attention is concentrated on joinder of participants which are being...

The master's thesis is devoted to bullying prevention with a focus on primary school pupils. It has both theoretical and empirical character. The theoretical part provides a deeper insight into the issue of bullying clarifies relationships among its actors and the displays of bullying while focusing on types of pupils'aggression. It further provides knowledge of developmental psychology. The bullying prevention part is divided into a sub-part, which teachers can use at class level, and a sub-part, which schools implement at the level of school education programme. At the end the preventive programmes for primary school pupils and organizations which provide primary prevention are described. The empirical part comprises a research conducted using Korthagen's "Spiral of Professional Development". A "Cats'Garden" preventive programme was implemented in the second grade classes of a primary school. After the implementation, a detailed reflection was carried out, in which the basic aspects were evaluated and the alternative options were suggested. Based on the evaluation, a new anti-bullying programme was developed and tested on the pupils. The research used observation methods, interviews and product analysis. The aim of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme considering...

Research was undertaken for this thesis to uncover characteristics of resilient volunteers and stewardship groups, both of which are a major element of the social mobilisation strategy used in Australia to manage natural resources. The ability of volunteers and groups to overcome problems, deal with new issues as they arise, and keep going under pressure is termed 'resilience'. A 'resilience management' approach to natural resource management uses the idea of 'adaptive change' or panarchy to understand the development of resilience and thus, sustainability in human communities. According to this theory, sustainable communities are both changeable and stable, adapting to new situations as they arise. The research approach used in the study is called 'phenomenography'. It is an interpretive approach, based on the central assumption that there is variation in the ways in which people experience the same phenomenon. Phenomenography was used to see if lessons about resilience and sustainability could be learnt from catchment volunteers. All participants were 'catchment volunteers' working along the east coast of Queensland. They were drawn from a variety of organisations and programs including Landcare; Coastcare; Bushcare; Greening Australia; Waterwatch; treeplanting groups; and Integrated Catchment Management Committees. A total of 26 personal and group interviews involving 85 participants were conducted. Interviews comprised a series of semi-structured questions that were tape-recorded, then transcribed verbatim. Through a process of comparing and contrasting themes in the transcriptions, six conceptions emerged. These were: catchment volunteering was experienced as seeking and maintaining balance; developing/maintaining an identity; empowerment; learning; networking; and sustainable. Analysis of these themes was used to develop a model of catchment volunteer experiences depicting relationships between conceptions (termed the 'Outcome Space' in phenomenography). In this study the Outcome Space emerged as a set of scales, signifying the importance of keeping a balanced perspective on volunteering - a balance between things such as personal goals and organisational goals; between dedication to an unpaid vocation and family life; and between social benefits and environmental benefits. From the Outcome Space, several conceptual and practical outcomes were developed. These included: a typology of participation based on volunteer experiences; a table describing forms of empowerment in catchment volunteering; a table listing drivers for catchment volunteers; an illustration of Holling and Gunderson's adaptive cycle as it applies to stewardship groups; a table of factors that enhance the resilience and sustainability of stewardship groups; a model of the relationship between external pressures and resilient, sustainable stewardship groups; and guidelines for developing resilient sustainable stewardship groups. These outcomes contribute to an understanding of individual, group and community level responses to environmental issues; and how resilience can be developed in volunteers and stewardship groups and programs.

Para atingir seu escopo, delineou-se como objetivo geral engendrar reflexões, por meio das narrativas de professoras, sobre currículos praticados com bebês no cotidiano de escolas de Educação Infantil (Berçário) da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Salvador e suas interfaces com as políticas públicas educacionais e a docência com bebês. Fez-se essa análise a partir da escuta das narrativas de seis professoras que exercem a docência em três Centros Municipais de Educação Infantil que atendem bebês. Aos encontros para a escuta das narrativas das docentes nomeou-se de Tertúlias Narrativas e aos instrumentos metodológicos de instrumentos, tais como: de registro (caderno de anotações, relatos escritos feitos pelas professoras, gravadores de áudio (celular e gravador de voz), máquina fotográfica e máquina de filmar); de mediação (cesto de tesouros) e de síntese (cesto de palavras). A tessitura teórico-metodológica sustentou-se em concepções, ideias e argumentos de autores filiados em diferentes campos de conhecimento (Pedagogia, Psicologia, Filosofia,Sociologia, História e Antropologia), dentre eles, as professoras integrantes da pesquisa. As reflexões e conclusões sobre os currículos praticados com bebês intercruzaram-se com diálogos sobre currículo, cotidiano, vida cotidiana e narrativa,docência, planejamento, observação, documentação pedagógica, interpretação e especificidades da ação pedagógica com os bebês. Do que foi interpretado, concluiu-se que os currículos praticados com bebês se concretizam no cotidiano da escola mediante a ação humana, as relações entre os sujeitos (professoras, bebês, Auxiliar de Desenvolvimento Infantil (ADI) e outros profissionais que trabalham na escola) e as condições materiais e não materiais ofertadas pelo estado para o exercício da docência com os bebês. O que é vivido no cotidiano de cada Centro Municipal de Educação pelas professoras, bebês e ADI é ressonância da qualidade e do alcance das políticas públicas destinadas à Educação Infantil, em nível local e nacional. Concluiu-se também que os currículos praticados com bebês são trançados com diferentes referências teórico-metodológicas e que a ação pedagógica, intencionalmente planejada, dá sinais de mudanças quanto à compreensão das capacidades e potências do bebê, aos procedimentos metodológicos de educaçãocuidado experienciados no cotidiano com os bebês, ao reconhecimento de que os bebês influenciam no exercício da docência e ensinam as professoras a tornarem-se professoras de bebês. / ABSTRACT The research presented here in PhD level is about subjects practiced with babies at public schools in the Municipal Network of teaching in Salvador/Bahia. To achieve the aim, it was established as a general objective to project reflections using teacher’s narratives about subjects practiced with babies in their everyday lives at schools of Child Education (nursery) in the Municipal Network of teaching in Salvador and its interfaces with public educational politics and babies teaching. This analysis was made from the listening of narratives of six teachers that perform their work at three Municipal Centers of Child Education that attend babies. The meetings to listen to the narratives by the teachers were named “Tertúlias Narrativas” and also to the methodological instruments such as: register (notebooks, teachers’ written stories, audio recorder (mobile phone and voice recorder), camera for photos and videos); mediation (basket of scissors) and synthesis (basket of words). The theoretical-methodological structure is sustained in conceptions, ideas and arguments of authors in different areas of knowledge (Pedagogy, Psychology, Philosophy, History and Anthropology) and among them, the teachers that participated in the research. The reflections and conclusions about the subjects practiced with babies cross each other with dialogues about the subjects, daily, daily life and narrative, teaching, planning, observation, pedagogical documentation, interpretation and specificities of the pedagogical action with the babies. From what was understood, it was concluded that the subjects practiced with babies were accomplished in the school daily by human action, relationship between the participants (teachers, babies, auxiliaries of child development and other professional who work in the school) and the material and non-material conditions offered by the state to practice the teaching of babies. What are experienced daily at each Municipal Center of Education by the teachers, babies and auxiliaries of child development are the resonance of quality and the reaching of public politics directed to Child Education, in a local and national level. It can also be concluded that the practiced subjects with babies are attached with different theoretical-methodological references and that the pedagogical action, intentionally planned, they give signs of changing related to the comprehension of capacities and potential of the babies, methodological procedures of caring education experienced daily with the babies, recognition that babies interfere in the teaching exercise and teach the teachers to become baby teachers / RIASSUNTO La ricerca qui presentata, per la tesi di dottorato, si riferisce ai curriculum realizzati con i bambini degli Asili Nido Pubblici nella città di Salvador di Bahia. Per raggiungere il suo scopo, si è definito come obbiettivo principale riflettere, attraverso le narrazioni degli insegnanti, sulla effettivazione quotidiana del curriculum nei Nidi d’Infanzia Pubblici di Salvador e le sue interfacce con le politiche pubbliche sull’educazione e l' attività docente con i bambini dai tre mesi ai tre anni. Questa analisi è stata realizzata ascoltando le storie di sei insegnanti che lavorano in tre Nidi d’Infanzia Comunali. Gli incontri per l’ascolto delle storie degli insegnanti sono stati nominati di “Tertúlias Narrativas” e sono stati usati diversi strumenti metodologici, quali: registro (quaderno di annotazioni, relazioni scritte dagli insegnanti, registri audio (cellulare e registratori di voce), fotografie e filmati; mediazione (cesto dei tesori) e sintesi (cesto delle parole). La tessitura teorico-metodologica si è sostenuta su concetti, idee e argomenti di autori di differenti aree del sapere (Pedagogia, Psicologia, Filosofia, Sociologia, Storia e Antropologia), tra i quali, le insegnanti che hanno integrato la ricerca. Le riflessioni e le conclusioni sul curriculum, praticato con i bambini, si sono intersicati con i dialoghi su questo, la vita quotidiana, le narrazioni, la pratica docente, la pianificazione, l’osservazione, la documentazione pedagogica, l’interpretazione e la specificità dell’ azione pedagogica con i bambini. Da ciò che è stato interpretato, si è concluso che il curriculum praticato con i bambini si concretizza nel quotidiano del Nido d’Infanzia mediante l’azione umana, le relazioni dei soggetti coinvolti (insegnanti, bambini, ausiliare di sviluppo infantile (ADI) e altri funzionari che lavorano nella scuola) e le condizioni materiali e non, offerte dallo Stato per l'insegnamento ai bambini piccoli dei Nidi d’ Infanzia. Ciò che si vive nel quotidiano di ogni Nido d’ Infanzia Comunale, da insegnanti, bambini e ADI è la risonanza della qualità e della realizzazione delle politiche pubbliche rivolte all’ educazione dei bambini dai tre mesi ai tre anni, a livello locale e nazionale. Si è inoltre concluso che i curriculum praticati con i bambini sono intrecciati con i diversi riferimenti teorici-metodologici e l'azione pedagogica, intenzionalmente pianificata, rivela segnali di cambiamento sulla comprensione delle capacità e potenzialità del bambino, sulle procedure metodologiche di educazionecura sperimentati nel quotidiano con i piccoli, e il riconoscimento che i bambini influenzino l’esercizio docente e formano gli insegnanti perchè diventino veri specialisti nell’ educazione destinata ai bambini più piccoli.
