Denna undersökning handlar om hur en reharmonisering påverkar unga vuxna musikers känslomässiga uppfattning av låten ”Tryggare kan ingen vara”. För att få reda på vilka känslor deltagarna kände fick de fylla i ett formulär som var baserat på Geneva Emotional Music Scale (förkortat som GEMS). Utöver detta formulär fick de även svara på två korta frågor samt fylla i ett formulär om sin musikaliska bakgrund. Studien visar att unga vuxna musiker känslomässigt reagerar annorlunda på olika harmoniseringar av ”Tryggare kan ingen vara”. De mest intressanta skillnaderna presenteras och analyseras med hjälp av uträknade median- och medelvärden utifrån formuläret som är baserat på GEMS. Dessa siffror jämförs sedan med de andra frågorna som deltagarna fick svara på och det förs resonemang kring varför de möjligen svarade som de svarade.

The purpose of this study is to determine the scientific and technological, economic, social and organizational impacts of the European Framework Programmes (FPs) on Turkish universities by focusing on the projects in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Energy, Food, Agriculture and Fisheries and Biotechnology (KBBE) themes in order to understand, monitor and evaluate outcomes and impacts of FPs as well as to help decision makers and policy makers to develop strategies for maximizing benefits of participation. Data/document review and survey methods were used as evaluation methods. T&Uuml / BITAK and EC&rsquo / s data and document were reviewed. An online survey was sent to the academicians who have Seventh Framework Projects (FP7) projects in these themes in Turkey. Data that were gathered by survey were analyzed by using Mann-Whitney U Test Method. We concluded that the impacts of these four categories of FP7 projects were high on the universities. Value additions of scientific and technological impacts are relatively high compared to other impacts. Universities whose roles were coordinator or WP leader have higher impacts in all factors. Turkey&#039 / s participation and success in the FP7 are growing thanks to T&Uuml / BITAK&rsquo / s effort, but further efforts are needed for meeting competitive participation within a defined strategy. Bearing in mind the results of the impact analyses, the study supports Turkey&rsquo / s continuity to forthcoming FPs but there is need for developing national strategies to maximize benefits of participation and to integrate the outcomes with the national innovation strategy.

In 1968 a group of Afrikaans believers protested that the Seventh-day Adventist Church in South Africa had remained foreign to their experience. They maintained that American leaders had dominated the Church. They also asserted that their cultural, linguistic and literary needs had not been adequately catered to, and that the work of evangelization in the Afrikaans speaking areas had been sadly neglected. Some headway had been made by the Church in the years prior to 1968 with translations, firstly, into Dutch and later also into Afrikaans. Advancement had also been made by evangelists into the Afrikaans-speaking areas of the Transvaal and the Orange Free-State. The history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in this country, however, corroborates many of the grievances enumerated by the dissatisfied Afrikaans believers. The predominance of English in the administrative work of the Church and at its educational institutions had always been a thorny issue, resulting in continuous friction between the Church leaders and the Dutch and Afrikaans-speaking members. Problems had also arisen with regard to the use of Afrikaans at the publishing house of the Church. Positions of leadership in almost every department of the Church had been filled by non-South Africans. As a result, by the late 1960s, tensions in the Church had reached a boiling point. At the end of 1968, at a special business session of the Transvaal Conference, the objections of the Afrikaans believers met with very strong resistance. No opportunity was granted to them to air their frustrations and grievances and, as a result, a number of delegates left this meeting in protest before it had been officially closed. This unilateral action resulted in the establishment of an organization called Die Afrikaanse Konferensie van Sewendedag Adventiste. This new conference was, however, considered to be schismatic and was never acknowledged by the established Church. From the outset, the Afrikaanse Konferensie set out to cater to the needs of Afrikaans-speaking people in very forceful fashion. Many people felt that this new conference had a legitimate cause and its membership grew very rapidly. It initiated a welfare society, opened up several geriatric centres, its own printing press and a correspondence Bible school. It also held, throughout the ensuing years, numerous evangelistic campaigns. By the middle of 1973, however, the opposition and incessant pressure applied by the established Church and the severe problems that had emerged from within the ranks of the Afrikaanse Konferensie, swiftly contributed to its demise, with most of its members eventually rejoining the established Church. At the time of the disintegration of the Afrikaanse Konferensie, the leaders of the Church resolved to strengthen the evangelistic work directed at Afrikaans-speaking people. They also determined to have more literature produced in Afrikaans, and to strongly promote the use of Afrikaans at the publishing house and at the Church's educational institutions. These resolutions, however, proved ineffectual , and in the years that followed, the work of the Church showed no improvement in its approach to the Afrikaans speaking people. Twenty-five years have passed since the demise of the Afrikaanse Konferensie and the Church finds itself, because of both, external and internal factors, in a position that could be considered decidedly worse than at the time of the formation of the Afrikaanse Konferensie in 1968. As from 1995, after a protest march by students on the campus of Helderberg College, instruction in Afrikaans was no longer provided at a tertiary level. The production of Afrikaans books and the translation of reading material into Afrikaans is almost non-existent. As a result, voices of dissent are once again being heard that the Afrikaans work is being neglected. This predicament in the Church can neither be ignored nor circumvented and the only way for the Church is to deal with the crisis in the utmost sincerity without allowing itself to succumb to it. The source of the problem appears to lie primarily in Seventh-day Adventist ecclesiology where a gulf exists between its interpretation of unity, and its understanding of mission in a multicultural context. Authentic church unity cannot consist only of an outer dimension whereby unity and mission are cosmetically combined. It involves a deeper internal dimension, where the striving for unity becomes a witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ, while the mission of the church simultaneously embodies the obligations to cater to the cultural and linguistic needs of all of Christ's people. It is this essential synthesis that has yet to take place in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, where both these facets are to be fostered as complementary aspects of its total vocation. It is this fusion of unity and mission which will open the way for the Church to complete its mission, unhindered either by the polarizing and divisive effect of religious and cultural diversity, or by any misguided attempts to impose uniformity. In their quest for positive resolutions for the challenges facing the Church, its leaders must ask what it means to be "church" in the social context in which it finds itself, what precisely is its mission in the pluralistic, multicultural situation in which it is located and how essential is the Church to God's mission in this country? Judging from the nature of the dilemma that the Seventh-day Adventist Church in South Africa still faces today, it appears that these are questions that have not been satisfactorily answered. After assessing both the past and present modes of the Church's operation it becomes essential for the Church leaders to do some critical rethinking about certain facets of its existing ecclesiology and its missionary strategies. It is just as important to systematically abandon the organizational structures that no longer fit the purpose and mission of the Church and to realign them with new paradigms that will effectively cater to the spiritual, cultural and linguistic needs of all the peoples of this country. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Durban-Westville, 1999.

In the last two decades, Seventh-day Adventist scholars have been attempting to articulate a balanced and distinct ecclesiology, aimed at helping the denomination to retain its global unity, maintain its relevance and enable a more fruitful and meaningful interaction with others. No comprehensive account of the church has been developed yet, however. This thesis is intended to facilitate a more rounded and systematically articulated concept of church from an Adventist perspective. Part I presents a thumbnail history of the denomination and considers the advantages and limitations of its standard claim to be the 'remnant', awaiting a pre-millennial parousia. Part II engages with the ideas of some of the ablest communio ecclesiologists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and considers their ecclesiological system, built around the concept of koinonia, while Part III examines ways in which their theoretical framework can assist the Adventist community to deal with practical ecclesial issues. Four major proposals are made for deepening Adventist understanding of the nature of church. Whereas the formal structure of communio framework can help Adventists move beyond one-sided, single-metaphor communal self-descriptions, the idea of the church as essentially a koinonia of believers in God can supplement their predominantly functionalist portrayal of the church as herald or messenger. Thirdly, the Adventist notion of truth can be enriched by viewing the community of believers not only as a messenger, but also as an organic part of divine revelation. This makes ecclesiology central to the theological enterprise, intrinsic to the grounding of theological claims and the interpretation of biblical texts. Finally, the development of a richer interpretation of the Spirit's activity in the church is seen as one of the key prerequisites for a fuller, more nuanced account of the church's participation in the life of the triune God. The highlighting of these four aspects, hitherto neglected or underdeveloped in Adventism, and the presentation of tentative solutions to its ongoing ecclesiological problems, form the principal contribution of this monograph.

A presente pesquisa analisa a influência da religião na formação dos hábitos alimentares. Para este objetivo, centramos a atenção nos hábitos alimentares dos Adventistas do Sétimo Dia. A Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia prega hábitos alimentares saudáveis, considerando-os um requisito importante para a manutenção do corpo o templo de Deus em um estado de pureza. A preocupação com uma alimentação saudável está relacionada a uma obrigação religiosa mantida pelos fiéis. Inicialmente, apresentamos um panorama histórico da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia, enfocando a vida e o ensino de William Miller e Ellen G. White. Em seguida, apresentamos a relação entre religião e alimentação, destacando os hábitos alimentares propostos por Ellen G. White e a Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Por fim, verificamos a proposta alimentar dos adventistas a partir da literatura científica da área da nutrição. / This research analyzes the influence of religion in the formation of eating habits. For this purpose, we focus attention on the eating habits of Seventh-day Adventists. Seventh-day Adventist Church preaches healthy eating habits, considering them an important requirement for maintaining the body - the temple of God - in a state of purity. The concern with healthy eating is related to a religious obligation held by the faithful. Initially, we present a historical overview of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, focusing on the life and teaching of William Miller and Ellen G. White. We then present the relationship between religion and eating, highlighting the diet proposed by Ellen G. White and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Finally, we verify the food proposal of Adventists from the scientific literature in the field of nutrition.

This study discusses the contribution and influence of the Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church to the development of post- secondary education in South Nyanza, Kenya. This has been done by focusing on the establishment and development of Kamagambo and Nyanchwa Adventist colleges whose history from 1971 to 2000 has been documented. This is a historical study which has utilized both the primary and secondary source of data. For better and clear insights into this topic, the study starts by discussing the coming of Christian missionaries to Africa. The missionaries who came to Africa introduced western education. The origin of the SDA church to Africa has also been documented. The SDA church was formed as a result of the Christian evangelical revivals in Europe. This called for the Christians to base their faith on the Bible. As people read various prophecies in the bible, they thought that what they read was to be fulfilled in their lifetime. From 1830s to 1840s preachers and lay people from widely different denominations United States of America around William Miller (1782-1849). This led to the establishment of the SDA Church in 1844. The study focuses on the coming of the SDA Missionaries to South-Nyanza. The efforts of the SDA Missionaries to introduce Western education in the said area, an endeavor which started at Gendia in 1906 has been discussed. From Gendia they established Wire mission and Kenyadoto mission in 1909. In 1912 Kamagambo and Nyanchwa, the subject of this study became mission and educational centres. The SDA mission, as was the case with other missionaries who evangelized South Nyanza, took the education of Africans as one of the most important goals for the process of African evangelization. The Adventist message penetrated the people of South Nyanza through their educational work. The conversion of the first converts can be ascribed to the desire for the education which accompanied the new religion. Kamagambo Adventist College became the first college in South Nyanza. Equally, Nyanchwa became the first college in the Gusii part of South Nyanza. The two colleges exercised a great influence on the local community especially in the socio-economic and educational fields. At the same time the colleges have also contributed enormously to the community’s development through the roles played by its alumni in society. Besides this, the study has also recommended some other pertinent areas for further study and research. / Educational Foundations / D. Ed. (History of Education)

The aim is to identify the effects of the printing press and the importance of the printed page for the Protestantism, as well as to examine the missiological purposes that marked the emergence of the Publishing Ministry, the literature evangelism and literature evangelists in the emergent Adventist Church. This study also intents to establish the concepts of the theology of mission, the growth process and finally the Adventists missionary advancement in the context of the Protestant expansion of the second half of the 19th century, both worldwide and in South America. In addition to these objectives, this research presents the arrival of Protestantism in Brazil and aims to analyze as the German immigration contributed to the Adventist achieve their missional purposes, since the first publications were printed in German and came to the colonies this ethnic-linguistic origin. Based on this research proposal, our intention is clearly show the role of publications and literature evangelists in the establishing process of the Adventist Church in Brazil. This study used the historical method, with data collection through documental and bibliographic research and the study is defined as qualitative, basic and exploratory. / Esta pesquisa se constitui em uma investigação para avaliar o papel das publicações, dos colportores e da colportagem na inserção do adventismo no Brasil. Pretende-se identificar os efeitos da invenção da imprensa e o valor da página impressa para o protestantismo, bem como analisar os propósitos missiológicos que marcaram o surgimento do ministério de publicações, da colportagem e dos colportores na nascente Igreja Adventista. O trabalho visa também estabelecer os conceitos da teologia de missão, o processo de amadurecimento e finalmente o avanço missionário dos adventistas no cenário da expansão protestante na segunda metade do século 19, tanto em âmbito mundial como na América do Sul. Além desses objetivos, esta pesquisa apresenta a chegada do protestantismo ao Brasil e se propõe a analisar como a imigração alemã contribuiu para que os adventistas alcançassem seus propósitos missionais, uma vez que as primeiras publicações estavam impressas em língua alemã e chegaram às colônias dessa origem étnico-linguística. Com base nessa proposta de investigação, espera-se demonstrar claramente o papel que as publicações e os colportores tiveram no processo de implantação da Igreja Adventista no Brasil. Para realização deste estudo, utilizou-se o método histórico com coleta de dados através de investigação bibliográfica e documental, sendo a pesquisa definida como qualitativa, básica e exploratória.

Its overall goal is to propose interpretation for articulatory aspects of dialogical/intertextual nature in contents and forms present in these books and, as specific activity, dealing with the repercussions by means of comparative readings, with regard to tendency in contemporary Brazilian literature, observed in exemplary cases such as Osman Lins and Raduan Nassar of utilization of elements, from domains of knowledge and belief, of Judeo-Christian and Islamic cultural background, explored through the core composed by its thematic and novelistic characters: immigrants of Lebanese origin. Peripherally, this study also aims, on the one hand, the discussion of technical and methodological implications concerning the referential developments for the author s compositional repertoire and, on the other hand, the survey of objects of the referentiality and the intersemioticity in the corpus of work, in accordance with the conciliatory proposal for the theories of intertextuality by Tiphaine Samoyault: the memory of literature. As mentioned in the following introduction, the division of contents conforms to the criteria, at first, of a revisionist movement towards encompass the classical theories of intertextuality. In a second step, it develops discussions related to the questioning raised by critics about the notions of referentiality, reference, and relation, as well as the intersection of semiotic codes conventionally insulated. Finally, the core of the project consists of a dialogical and intertextual approach of The Tree of the Seventh Heaven to other literary works. / Esta dissertação analisa os procedimentos narratológicos, estilísticos e discursivos adotados em um romance do escritor amazonense Milton Hatoum: Relato de um certo Oriente (1989). Seu objetivo de conjunto é o de propor interpretação para aspectos articulatórios de natureza dialógico-intertextual em conteúdos e formas presentes nesse livro, e, como atividade específica, tratar das repercussões por meio de leituras comparativas, tocantes à tendência na literatura brasileira contemporânea, observada em casos exemplares, como os de Osman Lins e de Raduan Nassar do aproveitamento de elementos, de domínios do conhecimento e da crença, de origens culturais judaico-cristãs e islâmicas, explorados através dos núcleos compostos por sua temática e seus personagens romanescos: imigrantes de origem libanesa. Perifericamente, este estudo visa ainda, por um lado, à discussão acerca das implicações técnicometodológicas concernentes a desenvolvimentos referenciais para o repertório composicional do autor e, por outro, ao levantamento de objetos da referencialidade e da intersemioticidade nas obras do corpus de trabalho, em acordo com a proposta conciliatória, para as teorias da intertextualidade, de Tiphaine Samoyault: a memória da literatura. Como referido na introdução, a seguir, a divisão dos conteúdos obedece aos critérios, primeiramente, de um movimento revisionista no sentido de abarcar as teorizações clássicas da intertextualidade. Em um segundo momento, desenvolve discussões ligadas à problematização levantada pela crítica especializada quanto às noções de referencialidade, referência e relação, assim como à intersecção de códigos semióticos convencionalmente isolados. Por fim, o núcleo do projeto consiste em uma aproximação dialógica e intertextual de Relato de um certo Oriente a outras obras literárias.

This investigation sought to determine how seventh-grade social studies teachers perceive TAAS objectives for social studies, language arts, and mathematics and how they apply them in the classroom. A detailed questionnaire was submitted to fifty teachers in the Dallas metropolitan area; a 72 percent. return was received. Though teachers expressed a favorable attitude toward emphasizing the higher-level thinking objectives, many indicated that their lesson plans and teaching methods have remained unchanged in the past year. The data suggests that teachers want and need additional training and teaching resources to satisfy the call for incorporating performance-based assessment into the classroom curriculum. TAAS standards cannot drive the intended curriculum improvements without a model for reorienting instructional practices.
