[en] AFRICA, PSYCHEDELIA E CYBERNETICS: SOCIAL CRITICISM AND RACIAL ISSUE IN CHICO SCIENCE E NAÇÃO ZUMBI BAND S SONGS / [pt] ÁFRICA, PSICODELIA E CIBERNÉTICA: CRÍTICA SOCIAL E QUESTÃO RACIAL NAS COMPOSIÇÕES MUSICAIS DA BANDA CHICO SCIENCE E NAÇÃO ZUMBI

RENATO DE OLIVEIRA FERRAZ 06 November 2018 (has links)
[pt] A produção da banda Chico Science e Nação Zumbi ao longo dos anos 1990 marcou de maneira distinta o movimento manguebeat. A crítica social a questões referentes ao cotidiano de Recife e sua periferia, além da incorporação de elementos de cultura negra de herança africana, recuperam em parte essa marca indelével da produção cultural e musical da banda. Elegemos a perspectiva marxista e dirigimos nosso olhar a um interlocutor bastante vivo para os mangueboys à época, Josué de Castro, para analisar tal crítica de fundo social e político a partir de algumas composições musicais Em mesmo sentido, procuramos apreender a diáspora africana e as músicas do Atlântico Negro como forma de estabelecer o debate sobre questão racial que ultrapassa a produção cultural objetiva daqueles mangueboys e se estende ao cotidiano, ao vocabulário e as experiências dos mesmos. / [en] The musical production of Chico Science and Nação Zumbi during the 90 s was to important to manguebeat movement. The social criticism and daily issues regarding the city of Recife and periphery, besides the incorporation of black culture and african heritage elements, compose the distinct mark of the band musical and cultural production. We select Marxism and bring back an important interlocutor to mangueboys in 1990, Josué de Castro, to analyze the political and social criticism by some songs. In the same direction, the african diaspora and the sounds of Black Atlantic was to value as long as formed the debate of racial issue that is more the objective cultural performance oh the band. This debate also formed the daily of mangueboys, them vocabulary and them experiences.

Veřejnoprávní smlouvy / Contracts under public law

Háleková, Ivana January 2015 (has links)
in English The main topics of my thesis are public law contracts. Public law contracts can be defined as bilateral or multilateral legal operations, which establish, change or repeal rights or duties in the area of public law. I tried to give a complete point of view on them, including their history, the actual legal regulation and I also tried to present the single types of public law contracts. Public law contract is one of the forms of public service. It is an institute, which was already commented by legal theorists in the period of Austria-Hungary and also in the beginning of 20th century. The importance of this institute was shaded during the Second World War and during the period of communism. The democracy and then the general legal regulation in form of the normative act No. 500/2004 called the Rules of Administrative Procedure give the institute importance again. Public law contracts can be considered as instruments, which help to involve private entities in the sphere of public services. The thesis is divided into chapters, but it is possible to say, it is divided into two big parts. The first one concerns the definition of the public service in general, because I suppose it is necessary to understand the whole system for determining the public law contracts issues. It also concerns the...

Les financements structurés et le droit des entreprises en difficultés / Structured finance and insolvency

Benhamou-Gabriel, Archibald 13 June 2017 (has links)
Les financements structurés semblent se construire comme des instruments de neutralisation de la procédure collective. Ces montages, utilisés tant en matière de financement d'acquisition (LBO) qu'en matière de financement de projet, ont vocation à influencer tant lu saisie collective que les répartitions qui en découle (première partie). Face au caractère d'ordre public de la procédure collective, le nombre de stratégies permettant d'assurer l 'efficacité des financements structurés en cas de restructuration est limitée. Les montages pourront s'appuyer sur deux méthodes s'appuyer sur des textes dérogatoires (ex : titrisation) ou s'appuyer sur les limites des procédures collectives pour éviter les effets de la faillite (ex : les double Lux co). L'utilisation des limites du droit des procédures collectives ou de régimes spécifiques sera-t-elle suffisante pour échapper aux contraintes des procédures collectives? Cette question se posera tant durant la phase de saisie collective que durant celle des répartitions. Il conviendra donc d'étudier la résistance de financements structurés face à l'épreuve de la procédure collective (seconde partie). / Structured finance seems to be design as a tools to neutralize insolvency procedures. Those financing agreement, used in LBO and in project finance, are intended to influence both the assets seizure and the resulting distributions during the restructuring process (Part 1 ). Most of the time, rules of insolvency procedures are considered binding and should not be impacted by contracts. Therefore, the number of efficient strategies for structured finance in the event of restructuring ore limited. The structure can be based on specific legal status (e.g: securitization) or rely on the limits of insolvency procedures (c.g.: schemes implying Luxemburgish holding). Will contractual forecast defined by structured finance be enforceable during the restructuring process? It will therefore be necessary to study the resistance of structured finance to the constrained or insolvency procedures (second part).

Word order, focus, and clause linking in Greek tragic poetry

Fraser, Bruce L. January 1999 (has links)
The thesis comprises an investigation of three aspects of sentence structure in Classical Greek (henceforth CG) dramatic poetry: order of the main sentence elements (subject, verb, and object) within the clause, the emphatic position at the start of the clause, and the structure of inter-clausal linking. It is argued that these three features, usually considered separately, are interdependent, and that intra-clausal word order is directly related to the structure of compound and complex sentences. The discussion undertakes a systematic survey of subject, verb, and object order in a corpus of texts, proposes an explanation for the observed order, and develops a model which explains how prominence within the clause is exploited in clause linking to produce the complement structures observed in Homeric and tragic complementation.

Na primeira parte, traça as visões da economia política clássica, da teoria marxista e da doutrina da igreja sobre o salário. Na segunda, narra as concepções sedimentadas pela teoria jurídico-trabalhista tradicional acerca do tema, além daquelas acolhidas pela OIT, a União Européia, o MERCOSUL, as normas internacionais e a posição da autora sobre o trabalho subordinado como objeto do direito o trabalho. Uma vez percorridas essas diretrizes, o estudo, na terceira parte, demonstra como a teoria jurídico-trabalhista crítica e as teorias sócias vêm salário, em meio a uma sociedade do trabalho em crise. Em seguida, enquadra as metamorfoses do trabalho em termos de dualização do assalariado, das evidências empíricas e do corte analítico que cuidam de redimensionar a crise o trabalho e do salário. Com base na Economia Solidária, na Renda Universal Garantida, na Teoria do Decrescimento e lançando mão de três princípios formulados pelo professor Everaldo Gaspar Andrade, a autora da tese expõe a sua proposta para reconfiguração da teoria jurídica do salário, com base na inversão da perspectiva salário patamar mínimo de sobrevivência para salário Condições Civilizatórias de Existência. Por fim, apresenta os nos seguintes pressupostos do salário: fontes, denominações, conceito, classificação, natureza jurídica e princípios. / This thesis draws up new grounds for the legal theory of wage composition, having its starting point at the questioning and refutation of various analytical concepts that reduce the salary to a dual perspective outlined by the classical doctrine: the subordination of the labor force to capital and the purchase and sale of labor power. The first part outlines the views of classical political economy, Marxist theory and the church doctrine of wages. The second narrates the views sedimented by traditional legal-labor theory on the subject, in addition to those accepted by the ILO, the European Union, Mercosur, international standards and the position of the author on the subordinate work as the object of labour law. Once covered these guidelines, the third part of the study shows how the legal-labor theory and critical members theories have earnings, amid a labor society in crisis. Then, fits the metamorphoses of the work in terms of dualization of wage, of the empirical evidence and of the analytical cut that resizes the crisis work and salary. Based on Solidarity Economy in Guaranteed Universal Income in ingrowth theory and making use of three principles formulated by Professor Everaldo Gaspar Andrade, the author of the thesis presents its proposal for reconfiguration of the legal theory of salary, based on the inversion of perspective wage minimum survival level for salary conditions civilizing Existence. Finally, it presents the following assumptions salary: sources, denominations, concept, classification, legal principles and nature.

From Manet to GQ: a critical investigation of ‘gentlemen’s pornography’

Viljoen, Estella 12 March 2004 (has links)
This thesis offers a reading of GQ South Africa 2000, the first glossy men’s magazine to be launched in South Africa (in 2000). It traces the possible iconographical genealogy of glossy men’s magazines to canonical erotic artworks and examines the aesthetic conventions used by GQ to elevate its contents through an implied association with art. This thesis, furthermore, investigates the commonalities between GQ, a ‘mainstream’ publication, and ‘pornography’ (as defined by the United States Civil Rights Ordinance 1985). In this way, the fluid impermanence of ‘art’, ‘pornography’ and ‘popular culture’ as typologies is highlighted. The new taxonomy of ‘gentlemen’s pornography’ is introduced in order to counter the notion that material that has the gloss of ‘high culture’ and is deemed socially acceptable, cannot be pornographic. This thesis submits that a critical reading of glossy men’s magazines from an interdisciplinary perspective is imperative in order to reveal their ideological assumptions. The ideological position that informs this study is the radical feminist belief that pornography objectifies and subordinates women and is, therefore, harmful. The thesis is simultaneously grounded in the theoretical methodologies of visual culture and art history, and as such assumes the intonation of these disciplines. From a Postmodern point-of-view, popular visual culture not only wields power in terms of generalising (capitalist and sexist) western paradigms, but is also skilful at masking its significant influence in doing so. For this reason, this dissertation endeavours to raise a critical dialogue concerning the ideological ‘message’ of glossy men’s magazines. The sometimes antithetical nature of discourse critically centered on gender representation in visual culture may be attributed to the pervasiveness of familiar (and therefore seemingly harmless) female objectification in the popular media. This thesis examines the iconography of gendered stereotypes against the erotic/pornographic, high culture/low culture object/subject binaries, and, furthermore, situates these types in the wider dialectic of ‘obscene’ (off-scene) versus ‘acceptable’ culture. The glossy men’s magazines that form the interest of this study are a trade situated in the alliance of social elitism and representational control over the female body, and, thus, this thesis marks the point of intersection between consumer culture and the politics of display. / Dissertation (MA (Visual Arts))--University of Pretoria, 2003. / Visual Arts / unrestricted

Loyalty and Fairness: A Study of the Influence of Moral Foundations on Auditors' Propensity to Subordinate their Judgment

Neri, Marc P. 12 1900 (has links)
Subordination of judgment is a fundamental threat to auditor objectivity. Subordination of judgment occurs when auditors agree with their superiors either in spite of or without forming their own independent judgments. Many audit procedures rely on independent, critical thinking at every level of the audit team; however, a number of studies suggest that auditors tend to agree with superiors even when a superior's views clearly run contrary to generally accepted accounting principles. While there is general agreement among scholars that subordination of judgment is "bad," very little attention has been given to moral biases that might influence an auditor's tendency to subordination of judgment, or to potential remedies that could mitigate an auditor's tendency to subordinate judgment. Moral Foundations Theory suggests that individuals tend to make intuitive, normative evaluations of situations based upon a set of personal moral biases or preferences called "moral foundations." Two specific moral foundations could influence subordination of judgment in divergent ways. The moral foundation of loyalty-respect may make agreement with a superior's views seem more acceptable than would disagreement. Meanwhile, the moral foundation of fairness may make an auditor more sensitive to the observance of rules, resulting in less subordination of judgment when a superior's views run contrary to professional rules. Social Identity Theory suggests that in-group favoritism may exacerbate subordination of judgment in general; however, strengthening an auditor's professional identity salience (PIS) could strengthen an auditor's objectivity. PIS is the temporary, heightened awareness of an auditor's identity as a professional and their role as guardian of professional rules. As a result, PIS may interact with an auditor's innate sense of fairness, resulting in less subordination of judgment than when professional identity is less salient. Results supported the hypothesis that auditors tend to subordinate their judgment to that of a superior, but not that PIS mitigates the effect of subordination of judgment. Results also supported the hypotheses that the moral foundations of loyalty-respect and fairness influence the tendency of auditors to subordinate their judgment to that of a superior. Specifically, auditors with higher levels of loyalty-respect were more likely to agree with a superior who suggested an incorrect accounting treatment than auditors with lower levels of loyalty-respect. Whereas, auditors with higher levels of fairness were less likely to agree with a superior who suggested an incorrect treatment than were auditors with lower levels of fairness. Therefore, this dissertation provides evidence that moral foundations bias professional judgment and decision making in auditing and calls for further research into the influence of moral heuristics.

Užití čárky v anglickém souvětí: Analýza konvencí a stylových specifik čárky v odborném textu / The use of the comma in the multiple sentence in English: an analysis of the English conventions and style specifics of the comma in academic prose

Krejčová, Irena January 2020 (has links)
The present thesis analyses the use of the clausal comma in academic prose. The aim of this diploma thesis is to examine the hypothesis of relative inconsistency in the use of the comma in a multiple sentence formed by a native speaker of English. In Modern English, the descriptive approach prevails and therefore it is assumed that the comma usage varies. The factors that affect or, by interacting with other factors, contribute to the inclusion or the omission of the comma in a sentence are the length of the clause in both compound and complex sentences, the position of the clause in a sentence as well as the syntactic function of the adverbial clause in a complex sentence. The coordinate clauses are studied in terms of the presence and absence of the subject in the second conjoined clause and the semantic tightness of both clauses. Based on an analysis of 200 two-clause sentences (both compound sentences and complex sentences comprised of the matrix clause and an adverbial clause) excerpted from linguistic articles written by native speakers of English, the thesis categorises the sentences according to the dependency relation between the clauses, evaluates the frequency of the inclusion of the comma against its omission, and describes the potential factors that influenced the comma usage. The...
