Encounters with tall sails and tall tales : Mi'kmaq society, 1500-1760Wicken, William C. (William Craig) January 1994 (has links)
This thesis examines the history of the Mi'kmaq people inhabiting Kmitkinag (Nova Scotia) and Unimaki (Cape Breton Island) from before contact to 1760. While contact precipitated change in Mi'kmaq society, the process was gradual, the result of the particular historical circumstances in which interactions between the two societies evolved. In the late seventeenth century, the Mi'kmaq established an alliance with the French Crown, made possible by previous social and economic relationships between Mi'kmaq families and French traders, fishermen and settlers. As European settlement increased and imperial rivalry in North America intensified in the eighteenth century, tensions emerged in the alliance, revealing the cultural differences between the Mi'kmaq and France's subjects. The thesis demonstrates that economic and political factors were more important than national identity in influencing the texture of Mi'kmaq-European relations.

Planning for Healthy Communities in Nova Scotia: The current state of practice.Howell, Alan 05 February 2013 (has links)
There is a growing recognition of the importance of the built environment in mediating people’s health related decisions, such as whether to walk rather than drive, or what types of food to purchase. The built environment has been identified as a significant determinant of health by the World Health Organization and many other organizations across the globe. This has spurred research on how and to what extent community design impacts health. Most research in Canada has been focused on major urban centres. Research in rural contexts on the connection between planning and health is limited. Despite much research on land-use and design to support healthy communities, how planners interpret the application of this research within the social, political, and jurisdictional confines of their planning practice is largely unexamined. Through an online survey and 10 semi-structured interviews with planners in Nova Scotia, the question of whether and how rural planners should address health issues is explored. The intention of this research is to better understand the connection rural planners see between their planning practice and health issues in their communities. This research found that planners indicated that health is important to address in planning practice, which confirms recent national level research. However, each respondent’s interpretation of health and how it related to planning practice was slightly different. Working with public health workers and agencies was supported as a way to improve community health, but most participants saw themselves as consultants to public health staff concerning projects and initiatives to support healthy communities rather than as collaborators. Provincial government “silos” were cited as the biggest barrier to implementation of planning practices to address health issues like physical inactivity. Results confirm what has been identified in the literature as barriers to rural planners addressing community health issues.

The development of an estimation method for the saturated hydraulic conductivity of selected Nova Scotia soils /Murray, Gordon Bruce January 1991 (has links)
An estimation method for predicting the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of the soil was developed for common Nova Scotia soil types by examination of historical Ksat records. Detailed statistical analysis was performed to develop useful predictive models for Ksat based on soil physical properties and to determine the confidence limits for specific horizon-soil type combinations. Sensitivity analysis of the Hooghoudt equation was then performed to establish Ksat classes to which the confidence limits could be assigned to complete the development of the estimation method. / Model development processes proved unsuccessful due to the influence of factors not considered by the model due to their qualitative nature. Independent field testing of the estimation method with respect to core and Guelph permeameter measurement techniques produced measured values within the same class as the estimated value 34% of the time for both techniques and values within one estimated class or less 70 and 76% of the time for core and permeameter techniques respectively.

'Nuestra mejor contribución la hacemos cantando' : a Nova Canção Chilena e a 'questão cultural' no Chile da Unidade Popular /Schmiedecke, Natália Ayo. January 2017 (has links)
Orientador: Tania da Costa Garcia / Resumo: A vitória de Salvador Allende – candidato pela Unidade Popular (UP) – nas eleições presidenciais chilenas de 1970 trouxe consigo o imperativo de construir uma “nova cultura” e um “homem novo”, objetivo que gerou intensos debates no meio intelectual. Tendo no horizonte a perspectiva de influir na formulação de políticas culturais oficiais, diversos cientistas sociais, escritores, artistas e militantes dos partidos integrantes da UP procuraram postular suas bases, revelando posições heterogêneas e inclusive contraditórias nas discussões sobre o papel que deveriam assumir os “trabalhadores da cultura” na Via chilena ao socialismo. Centrando-se no debate cultural travado no interior da esquerda, a presente tese busca mapeá-lo de modo a situar os discursos e a produção artística ligada ao movimento da Nova Canção Chilena (NCCh), a fim de demonstrar que, no contexto estudado, os músicos foram parte da intelectualidade engajada. A análise realizada se pautou principalmente na imprensa governista e nos discos lançados entre 1970 e 1973, verificando como as principais tendências observadas no debate cultural se manifestaram no movimento; até que ponto os posicionamentos defendidos pelos músicos estiveram afinados com os propósitos governamentais; e se eles de fato chegaram a influenciar as políticas culturais debatidas e levadas a cabo pela UP entre 1970 e 1973. Buscamos, a partir daí, compreender quais elementos contribuíram para a identificação da NCCh com os novos valores propostos...

With the prospect of influencing the formulation of official cultural policies, several social scientists, writers, artists and activists of the UP member parties sought to postulate their bases, revealing heterogeneous and even contradictory positions in the discussions about the role that the “workers of culture” should play on the Chilean way to socialism. Focusing on the cultural debate within the left, the present thesis seeks to map it in order to situate the discourses and the artistic production linked to the Chilean New Song movement (NCCh), in order to demonstrate that, in the context studied, the musicians were part of the commited intelligentsia. The analysis was based mainly on the government-friendly press and the discs released between 1970 and 1973, verifying how the main trends observed in the cultural debate were manifested in the movement; the extent to which the positions defended by the musicians have been in tune with governmental purposes; and if they have in fact influenced the cultural policies debated and pursued by the UP between 1970 and 1973. From that, we sought to understand what elements contributed to the identification of the NCCh with the new values proposed by the political leaders, allowing the movemen...

Administração escolar na obra de Lourenço Filho : programa de ensino como fundamento da organização do trabalho escolar /Mezzari Lopes, Natalina Francisca. January 2017 (has links)
Orientador: Ricardo Ribeiro / Banca: Carlota Josefina M. C. dos Reis Boto / Banca: Raquel Pereira Chainho Gandini / Banca: Sandra Regina Cassol Carbello / Banca: Regina Cândida Ellero Gualtieri / Resumo: Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender a administração escolar na obra de Lourenço Filho no contexto da organização da Escola Nova, no período de 1920 a 1945. Parte-se da sua primeira experiência de docência, no início da década de 1920, na Escola Normal de Piracicaba em São Paulo, até o final de suas atividades na direção do INEP, em 1945. Utilizando-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, foram analisados registros originais do próprio autor e produções sobre o seu legado sobre educação. Dentre as principais fontes, encontram-se publicações em forma de livros, artigos, relatórios, discursos, correspondências, entre outros que, por sua vez, registram o pensamento e as ações deste intelectual da educação, que é o foco dessa investigação. Inicialmente, são apresentadas as suas relações familiares, cultural e de trabalho, situando-as em seu respectivo contexto histórico, para então explorar o seu pensamento em relação ao problema da educação popular a partir de manifestações públicas decorrentes de suas funções na administração educacional. Na sequência, recupera-se a participação de Lourenço Filho no ideário escolanovista e as diversas reformas que compuseram o Movimento de Renovação Educacional, que marcaram a História da Educação, no período em estudo. Considerando o vínculo entre o pensamento escolanovista e o problema da organização social, discorre-se sobre a concepção de organização para o intelectual da educação relacionando-a com o problema de inserção da adminis... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: The objective of this study is to understand the school administration in the work of Lourenço Filho in the context of the organization of the "New Shool", from 1920 to 1945. It starts from the first teaching experience of Lourenço Filho in the early 1920s at the "Shool Normal" of Piracicaba in São Paulo, until the end of its activities in the direction of INEP, in 1945. Using bibliographical and documentary research were analyzed original records of the author himself, as well as productions about his legacy for education. Among the main sources are publications in the form of books, articles, reports, speeches, correspondence, among others, which in turn record the thinking and actions of this intellectual of education that is the focus of this investigation. Initially, the family, cultural and work relations of Lourenço Filho is presented, situating them in their respective historical context, and then exploring their thinking about the problem of popular education, based on their public manifestations deriving from their functions in educational administration. In the sequence, the participation of Lourenço Filho in the "Escolanovista" ideary and the several reforms that composed the Movement of Educational Renewal that marked the History of Education, during the period under study, is presented. Considering the link between "Escolanovista" thinking and the problem of social organization, the conception of organization for the intellectual of education is related to the problem of the insertion of scientific administration in school. Some considerations and limits on the Movement of Educational Renewal are also punctuated, based on observations of scholars of the period. In order to understand how the educational programs in the Lourenço Filho trajectory were delineated, the focus was on his teaching experience in Piracicaba, at the school administration in the...

A tese enfoca uma fase liminar na vida dessas pessoas, a saber, os anos que antecedem o matrimônio em que às expectativas sobre o casamento - ideal e normativamente arranjado -, somam-se, em muitos casos, romances pré-conjugais proibidos e ocultados dos pais. O modo como os jovens valorizam ou não o amor como prelúdio ao casamento tem destaque na investigação que também visa refletir sobre o papel desempenhado pelas experiências dos namoros entre os interlocutores da pesquisa nos processos de individuação em sua formação como pessoas. / The present work is about existential experiments carried out by wealthy youngsters living in New Delhi regarding romance and sexuality. The thesis focuses on a liminal period of these young persons lives, which are the years immediately before marriage. While living the expectations and anxieties concerning the marital alliance a number of these persons experience tabooed and secret pre-marital romances hidden from parents and community, since marriages are ideally and normatively arranged. The positive valorisation of the idea of love as a prelude for marriage to some of these youngsters deserved a prominent attention in the investigation that is also aimed to analyse how the romances experienced by the interlocutors in the fieldwork play a role in the individuation process in their formation as persons.

170686.pdf: 12257538 bytes, checksum: 89753abe4228b301ae64392beb4bb6ec (MD5) / O estudo de caso proposto teve como objetivo central contribuir para a compreensão das implicações recentes na (re)organização sócio-espacial do município de Nova Esperança-Pr, frente a constituição do Complexo Agroindustrial Sericícola. Buscou-se analisar a dinâmica de desenvolvimento da sericicultura, e a adaptação dos pequenos produtores, no contexto da modernização tecnológica agrícola. O Norte do Paraná onde está inserida Nova Esperança, apresenta uma estrutura fundiária caracterizada por pequenas e médias propriedades que serviam de base à expansão da cafeicultura, atividade econômica tradicional. Com a modernização agrícola e a crise cafeeira, as características físicas da área inviabilizaram a expansão dos cultivos como soja/trigo, obrigando os produtores a buscar outras alternativas. A entrada da sericultura propiciou a permanência de parte das pequenas e médias propriedades no município, uma vez que se desenvolve em pequenas áreas e é exigente em mão-de-obra. A produção se desenvolveu nos moldes do sistema de integração produtor/indústria. Além do produtor proprietário, manteve-se, de maneira substancial, a parceria, relação de trabalho comum durante a cafeicultura. Apesar da adaptação dos proprietários e parceiros, as imposições do sistema capitalista proporcionaram aos sericicultores, dificuldades econômicas que se refletem na unidade produtiva, de modo mais intenso naquelas onde o sistema de parceria ocorre. Por isso, tendencialmente poderá ocorrer desarticulação da atividade o que resultará em implicações sócio-espaciais no muncípio de Nova Esperança.
