À partir de la perspective de l’Analyse du Discours pecheutienne, qui se propose d'examiner les processus discursifs dans des différentes matérialités en prenant le rapport entre langue et histoire à la production des sens, cette thèse présente une étude sur le processus traductoire du littéraire. En envisageant la traduction comme un processus discursif, nous analysons les gestes d’interprétation matérialisés dans des extraits du livre Pride and Prejudice (1813) de Jane Austen et leurs traductions imprimées et cinématographiques. Les faits et les effets discursifs qui émergent du processus traductoire nous permettent d’observer le jeu de forces existant au faire traductoire et nous mènent à considérer le processus traductoire comme un processus discursif spécifique. Méthodologiquement, en prenant le processus traductoire comme objet, nous avons comme geste d’analyse le délinéament d’une formation discursive traductoire qui, en tant que domaine de savoir, règle le faire traductoire, et qui permet en même temps d’aborder discursivement le rapport entre les langues. Nous situons donc le processus traductoire dans son rapport constitutif avec la formation discursive littéraire, en le prenant comme effet-art. Nous parcourrons ainsi les surfaces linguistique et filmique qui signifient, au cours de deux cent ans, le discours littéraire qui soutient le roman et nous proposons la notion de moment discursif comme spécifité des conditions de production d’un effet de traduction. Le proccesus traductoire peut être décrit comme une actualisation dans des (ré)formulations d’une formulation précédente, en considérant dans ce mouvement l’énoncé comme un élément de savoir qui établit rapports de rapprochement ou d’éloignement entre les sens inscrits dans les formations discursives engagées. Ainsi le texte premier, en partant de son appropriation et interprétation à travers la formation discursive traductoire, est actualisé dans le discours du texte de traduction au moyen du travail de la mémoire discursive, qui se troue, se casse, ce qui permet au sens de glisser, en se répétant et se transformant dans la même langue ou dans une autre. Et par le fonctionnement discursif de la création, le texte émerge et est historicisé comme effet d’origine, d’antériorité et de récursivité pour chaque nouveau texte de traduction. Pour son analyse, nous mobilisons la notion de fonction-traducteur comme déploiement de la fonction-auteur dans un processus de traducréation. / A partir da perspectiva da Análise do Discurso pecheuxtiana, que se propõe a investigar os processos discursivos em diferentes materialidades ao tomar a relação entre língua e história na produção dos sentidos, esta tese apresenta um estudo sobre o processo tradutório do literário. Ao encarar a tradução como um processo discursivo, analisamos os gestos de interpretação materializados em recortes da obra Pride and Prejudice (1813) de Jane Austen e suas traduções impressas e cinematográficas. Os feitos e os efeitos discursivos que emergem do processo tradutório nos permitem observar o jogo de forças existente no fazer tradutório e leva-nos a considerar o processo tradutório como um processo discursivo específico. Metodologicamente, ao tomar o processo tradutório como objeto, temos como gesto de análise o delineamento de uma formação discursiva tradutória que, como domínio de saber, regula o fazer tradutório, bem como permite abordar discursivamente a relação entre línguas. Então, situamos o processo tradutório em sua relação constitutiva com a formação discursiva literária, tomando-o como efeito-arte. Percorremos, deste modo, as superfícies linguística e fílmica que significam, ao longo de duzentos anos, o discurso literário que sustenta o romance e propomos a noção de momento discursivo como especificidade das condições de produção de um efeito de tradução. O processo tradutório pode ser descrito como atualização em (re)formulações de uma formulação anterior, considerando neste movimento o enunciado como elemento de saber que estabelece relações de aproximação ou distanciamento entre os sentidos inscritos nas formações discursivas envolvidas. Assim, o texto primeiro, a partir de sua apropriação e interpretação pelo viés da formação discursiva tradutória, é atualizado no discurso do texto de tradução através do trabalho da memória discursiva, que se esburaca, parte-se, permitindo que o sentido deslize, repetindo-se, transformando-se, na mesma ou em outra língua. E pelo funcionamento discursivo da autoria, o texto emerge e é historicizado como efeito de origem, de anterioridade e recursividade para cada novo texto de tradução. Para sua análise, mobilizamos a noção de função-tradutor como desdobramento da função-autor em um processo de tradautoria.

Distributed real-time databases can be used to support data sharing for applications in wireless ad-hoc networks. In such networks, topology changes frequently and partitions may be unpredictable and last for an unbounded period. In this thesis, the existing database replication protocol PRiDe is extended to handle such long-lasting partitions. The protocol uses optimistic and detached replication to provide predictable response times in unpredictable networks and forward conflict resolution to guarantee progress. The extension, pPRiDe, combines update and state transfer strategies. Update transfer for intra-partition communication can reduce bandwidth usage and ease conflict resolution. State transfer for inter partition conflicts removes dependency on a common state between partitions prior to the merge to apply update messages on. This makes the resource usage independent of the life span of partitions. This independence comes at the cost of global data stability guarantees and pPRiDe can thus only provide per partition guarantees. The protocol supports application specific conflict resolution routines for both state and update conflicts. A basic simulator for mobile ad-hoc networks has been developed to validate that pPRiDe provides eventual consistency. pPRiDe shows that a hybrid approach to change propagation strategy can be beneficial in networks where collaboration by data sharing within long lasting partitions and predictable resource usage is necessary. These types of systems already require the conflict management routines necessary for pPRiDe and can benefit from an existing protocol. In addition to pPRiDe and the simulator this thesis provides a flexible object database suitable for future works and an implementation of PRiDe on top of that database.

This dissertation examines the antecedents and consequences of a fairly new construct in academic literature termed brand citizenship behavior. Constructs explored in the proposed model include brand identity, brand communication, internal marketing, brand pride, brand commitment, intention to stay and job satisfaction. A sample of 241 associates was surveyed at a large retail organization and key demographic variables were captured. Results indicate a causal relationship between internal marketing and brand citizenship behavior as well brand pride. While a causal link between brand citizenship behavior and brand commitment was not supported overall, permutations indicate causality among part time associates. Brand pride was found to mediate the relationship between brand citizenship behavior and brand commitment.

The current research investigates how authentic and hubristic pride influence licensing effects in the context of indulgent behaviors. Previous research examining the influence of pride on consumption behavior has generally found that pride leads to both indulgence and self-control. The current research suggests that the reason for the conflict within the previous research stems from the fact that pride is not a unitary construct. Rather, the two distinct types of pride - hubristic and authentic - have different consequences on indulgence. Consistent with prior literature, the results from the first two studies suggest that authentic pride leads to more licensing in indulgence than hubristic pride. We further demonstrate how cognitive resources moderate the effect of pride on indulgence. By manipulating pride in different ways, using different measures of indulgent choice, and different manipulations of cognitive resources, the last three studies confirm that authentic pride leads to more indulgence than hubristic pride, especially when cognitive resources are available. However, when cognitive resources are limited, hubristic pride leads to more indulgence than authentic pride. This research contributes to our basic understanding of the dynamics of pride on licensing effects.

Pride Marches are usually considered as the most important manifestations of LGBTI activism and politics, either as festive and commercial celebrations or protests against violations of human rights of the LGBTI population. The first BiH Pride March from September 2019 successfully took the form of the latter, under heavy security measures and without any incidents in Sarajevo. Bosnia is regarded as a highly patriarchal country with strong homophobia and structural discrimination towards its minorities and marginalized groups. In that context, the Pride March is the most visible expression of LGBTI struggles for social recognition and acceptance. It also illustrates the status of human rights in BiH and represents a form of symbolic politics concerning the EU. This study aims to examine how the event was organized, how it indicated the human rights of LGBTI persons in the country, and what was the influence of Western Embassies and international organizations in BiH on its preparation and staging. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the organizers, the attendees, activists, and members of the LGBTI community in the country; 11 in total. The analysis shows a connection between the egalitarian Organizing Committee (activists/individuals) and the March´s claim for equality of LGBTI people in BiH society, including a correlation between the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and discrimination of LGBTI persons in BiH. The analysis also shows strong cooperation between the organizers and the international community in the country. The study concludes the March being organized as a collaborative and a multi-level project, indicating the discrimination and homophobia through additional security costs imposed on the organizers. Finally, the study finds the international community´s efforts as co-decisive for March´s success.

In Jane Austen’s renowned Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813, the reader encounters love and marriage in the British middle-class during the nineteenth century. While the main focus of the novel is the love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, the reader also encounters the youngest Bennet sister, Lydia. Lydia is depicted as loud, vain, rude and ignorant and even though this is a correct description of Lydia’s behavior, there are underlying reasons for that foolish and naïve behavior. Thus, the aim of this essay is to examine and explain the underlying reasons as to why Lydia behaves as recklessly and selfishly as she does. By close reading of the novel and by using psychoanalysis and relevant Freudian concepts, mainly the id, the ego and the super-ego, the analysis concludes that there is an evident connection between Lydia’s unruly behavior and her dysfunctional relationship to her parents. Due to the lack of parental guidance, Lydia has been left uncontrolled and heavily ruled by her id. Moreover, this essay will demonstrate that there is a shift in Lydia’s behavior as the novel progresses. As a result of certain events in the novel, Lydia’s behavior shifts even further towards her being driven by the pleasure principle and her id.

Mamelodi is a multi-cultural township located 20kms east of the Tshwane city centre. It is a vibrant and complex place, alive with opportunity, diversity, talent and creativity. It is also however, afflicted by many problems, especially those of a social and economic nature, like unemployment, poverty, poor living conditions, and so on. Mamelodi therefore, is a place where the implementation of appropriate design could make a real difference in the lives of its inhabitants. The University of Pretoria Mamelodi campus, due to its prime location and inherent qualities, has the opportunity to contribute significantly to the upliftment and transformation of the people around it, and to become a place of value and pride. It is however, missing this opportunity for a number of reasons: the isolation and segregation of the campus, its anonymity and lack of local identity, as well as the inaccessibility of the campus to local residents. One possible solution would be the full integration of the campus into the surrounding community, thereby enabling the empowerment of people on both a physical and psychological level. Both of these types of empowerment can be achieved through modifications to the University boundaries and the reworking of the open buffer zone into an area of common ground – a transition zone where the University and the community can come together and be of value to one another. There are two levels of value – quantitative, which can be achieved through the implementation of a cultivated landscape, and qualitative, which is made possible through the creation of a maieutic landscape. In order to achieve a continuous, integrated urban fabric, this study primarily investigates the creation of a large-scale framework design that considers the site in its entirety. The organising element in this regard was the existing storm water system which was also regarded as a missed opportunity. The study then progresses to a more detailed level in an area which was deemed to possess challenging and diverse options. The space chosen is located at the entrance to the UP Mamelodi campus library, in the transition zone between University and community, where it functions as a public square. Both the principles of integration and maieusis were applied here in a bid to create an empowering landscape that is immersed in its context, that is accessible, and that is therefore used and appreciated by many. / Dissertation (ML(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Architecture / unrestricted

Substance abuse among gays and lesbians may be considered a "neglected area" of drug use research in criminology and criminal justice. In the current study, we seek to address the lack of scientific inquiry on substance use among lesbians, gays, and bisexuals by drawing from an availability sample of 179 lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adults to examine substance use patterns as well as the relationship of self-esteem with problems associated with using alcohol and drugs. Results showed consistency in the frequency of tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine use in the past year; however, more gay and bisexual men than gay and bisexual women reported problems stemming from substance use.

The gay rights movement began in the summer of 1969 when gay men rioted against police for raiding a bar known as the Stonewall Inn. In the succeeding 35 years, very little research has explored the relationship between police organizations and gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered (GLBT) communities. The purpose of this study is to describe the attitudes that GLBT persons currently hold toward police. Subjects were sampled from the 34th Annual Atlanta Pride Festival and asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire. Of the 179 GLBT participants, the vast majority reported high satisfaction with community policing practices at this event. Moreover, age, household income, victimization, security presence, and identification with gay-themed media significantly predicted attitudes toward police.

This thesis aims to investigate and present what the most recent research can disclose about moral emotions and their neural correlates. This literature review provides an overview of some frameworks and theories regarding moral emotions and their neural correlates, with a specific focus on positive and negative moral emotions such as compassion, pride, gratitude, guilt, shame, and embarrassment. The theoretical background of moral emotions within cognitive neuroscience has been introduced together with research of the emotional brain and morality to further clarify the main topic of this thesis, moral emotions and their neural correlates. Moral emotions are very crucial in understanding humans’ behavioural adherence to their moral standards. For example, shame is described as the way we relate and perceive ourselves. It is related to how we believe and think other people see us and our incompetence or failure to fulfil the desire to be a good person, e.g. “I think, feel and believe that I am a bad person for lying to someone”. These topics have been discoursed through this thesis showing significant results. There are many neural regions, e.g. medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) which get activated whilst experiencing distinct moral emotions. However, studies have shown that there is no one-to-one correspondence between a specific brain area and a specific emotion, instead, research has suggested there are particular topographical anatomical networks in the brain which get activated when experiencing different emotions. There are few studies in this field; their results should be taken with caution. The field continues to grow, and we can learn more about moral emotions and their neural correlates today and in the future.
