This research explores the relationship between school shooter typologies, warning signs, and targeted school violence. The study's independent variables are school shooter typologies and warning signs, while the dependent variable is targeted school violence. The research wants to investigate whether a relationship exists between these variables. The null hypothesis states no relationship exists, while the alternative hypothesis suggests that a relationship exists. The research framework is based on Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System Theory, which helps understand how the environment and social interaction influence a child's development. The theory was influenced by Vygotsky's sociocultural theory—which focuses on the roles of human interactions and culturally structured activities in cognitive functioning that affect psychological growth, and Lewin's behaviorism theory—which proposed that behavior results from the individual and the environment. The findings show a strong, positive relationship, high correlation, and statistical significance difference between school shooter typologies, warning signs, and targeted school violence. The alternate hypothesis was accepted based on the findings, indicating that the relationship between these variables is not due to a coincidence or chance alone. These findings can offer valuable insights to policymakers in making informed decisions on allocating school safety resources to prevent targeted school violence.

This study considers the ways in which congregational management contributes to maintaining the healthy church through the supporting role of supplying, monitoring and controlling the human, physical, financial, and informational resources needed to allow the pastors to lead the congregation-centred church to fulfil its mission. It was found that congregational managers help to prevent their churches declining into illhealth by helping the pastorate to retain current congregants and attract new ones through charisma. This requires them to first study, analyze and classify the major parts of the diverse congregation and surrounding community and then monitor them to foresee and forestall problems. They play multiple roles in efficient administration, asset management, targeted church adverting, human relations, risk management, project management, professional standards auditing and maintenance, community relations with all faiths, charity, mission, and, above all, customer relations. Recommendations are made for enhancing congregational management’s role in the healthy church. / Practical Theology / M.Th. (Practical Theology)

This research project explores an area which had been touched only tangentially, being a comparative analysis of the idea and interpretations of friendship which emerge from the three vernacular collections attributed to the supervision of King Alfonso X of Castile (1252-1284): namely the Marian songs Cantigas de Santa María, the law code known as the Siete Partidas and the chronicle Estoria de España. These sources have been examined by adopting a thematic approach which has highlighted the existence of categories such as spiritual, religious and political friendships, as well as other forms of amicable relationships, including those between representatives of different religious, ethnic and social groups. Additionally, this study demonstrates that there was a conscious adoption of a specific lexicon of amicitia which contributed to reinforce either the opposition or the coincidence between friendship, companionship and counsellorship. Despite the undeniable inheritance of both classical eastern and western traditions, the works of the ‘Learned’ King present a peculiar idea of friendship which was deeply affected by contemporary historical contingencies and by the political and cultural projects of a sovereign who wanted to be regarded as a friend of his people, without denying, however, the unbridgeable gap which existed between different social groups. Interestingly, even if the Alfonsine works display a complicated range of relationships which envisage clear differences, they still outline a perfectly-balanced system within which the general and untouchable rules of friendship predominated, although in some cases certain variants were allowed in order to adapt such general requirements to contemporary social and political situations.

This work deals with the gifted children and their education possibilities in Czech schools. The work is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part we first look in what talent is, we will explain different terms which are similar in meaning to the word talent and how to differentiate between them, we will introduce models of talent by various authors and also the basic types of talent. Further I mention the characteristics of the gifted children and how to use these characteristics to identify them. Subsequently, we divide the gifted children into different categories depending on the manifestations of their talents. Significant part of this work is the education of the gifted children, which I split into education at school and out of school. I describe concrete forms of education and possibilities of work with the gifted children and I evaluate their pros and cons. By out of school activities I mean family environment and organizations and institutions focused on education of the gifted children. The rest of the theoretical part I provide summary of this of this topic in the Czech Republic and also what is the situation with education of the pedagogues of the gifted children. The practical part includes a questionnaire and its evaluation aimed at finding the...

We will treat genre as a multidimensional phenomenon. We are aiming to a social and interactional investigation with the language. We will analyze the textual occurrences that characterize the chronicle genre of discourse; the detailing and deepening of its occurrence peculiarities, depending upon its circulation and social consumption. This work has as its theme the observation of the chronicle genre and their typological peculiarities. We have made the analysis of the corpus with the application of theoretical fundamentation in order to prove the typological differences of reflective, lyrical and humoristic chronicle, analyzing the thematics, verbal style and the peculiarities of the compositional form, suitable to differentiate and characterize them .The basis for description of the discourse genre is founded on scholars such as Luiz Antônio Marcuschi (2003) Textual Production, Genre Analysis and Understanding, Bakhtin (1992, 1997, 2003), & Dolz. Schneuwly (2004, p. 116), Meurer (2000, 2005). The approaches of the perspectives of the genre of discourse are grounded in the article of author Rodrigo Costa. To approach the concept of discursive genres, particularly the chronicle genre and its characteristics, we had look for support in Coutinho (1976,1978,1997), Coaracy (1961), Arrigucci (1987), Sa (1985), Beltran (1992), Candide ( 1980), Fargoni (1993), Konzen (2002), Moses (1987), rabbit (2002), Cony (2002), Mello (2002) and Fávero (2005) among others. The result of the analysis presents, in fact, the occurrence of the typologies mentioned in the chronicles, both in relation to the textual occurrences and the thematic strategies, verbal style and compositional structure and linguistic resources of orality (dialogues) built into the literature / Este trabalho tem como alvo de análise as peculiaridades tipológicas presentes na crônica - gênero discursivo escrito. Trataremos o gênero como um fenômeno multidimensional. Objetivamos investigação sócio-interacionista sobre a linguagem. Analisaremos as ocorrências textuais que caracterizam o gênero do discurso crônica; o detalhamento e aprofundamento de suas peculiaridades de ocorrência, dependendo de sua circulação e de seu consumo social. Este trabalho tem como tema o gênero crônica e suas peculiaridades tipológicas. Efetuamos a análise do corpus com a aplicação da fundamentação teórica, a fim de comprovarmos as diferenças tipológicas da crônica reflexiva, lírica e humorística, analisando as temáticas, o estilo verbal e as peculiaridades da forma composicional, próprios para diferenciá-las e caracterizá-las. A base para descrição do gênero do discurso fundamenta-se em estudiosos como, Luiz Antônio Marcuschi (2003) Produção Textual, Análise de gêneros e compreensão, Bakhtin (1992, 1997, 2003), Dolz &. Schneuwly (2004, p. 116), Meurer (2000, 2005). As abordagens das perspectivas do gênero do discurso estão pautadas no artigo do autor Rodrigo Costa. Para abordarmos o conceito de gêneros discursivos, especialmente do gênero crônica e suas características, buscamos apoio em Coutinho (1976,1978,1997), Coaracy (1961), Arrigucci (1987), Sá (1985), Beltrão(1992), Cândido (1980), Fargoni (1993), Konzen (2002), Moisés (1987), Coelho(2002), Cony(2002), Melo(2002) e Fávero (2005) entre outros.O resultado das análises apresenta, de fato, a ocorrência das tipologias referidas nas crônicas tanto em relação às ocorrências textuais quanto das estratégias temáticas, estilo verbal e estrutura composicionall e nos recursos linguísticos da oralidade (diálogos) construídos na literatura

As grandes cidades vivenciam constantes transformações na sua morfologia urbana e arquitetura. Estas mudanças influem diretamente na construção da imagem da cidade, assim como vão aos poucos, alterando a relação entre cheios e vazios no seu tecido. Este trabalho se propõe a investigar as morfologias de miolo de quarteirão - os vazios no interior das quadras e sua ocorrência num local determinado do Centro de Porto Alegre. O estudo se inicia no conceito do tema e segue posteriormente numa busca destas situações morfológicas em diversos momentos da arquitetura e urbanismo. Essa série de análises, chamada no trabalho de Paralelos Morfológicos, teve uma contextualização delimitada sobre modelos urbanos que tiveram influência direta na construção da forma do Centro de Porto Alegre. Um dos modelos é o da cidade tradicional, representado pelo traçado da cidade antiga. O outro, a cidade moderna, que trouxe novas relações de implantação, descolando os edifícios uns dos outros. Depois de apresentadas as situações de miolo de quarteirão nas cidades e nas edificações, o trabalho passa para montagem do estudo de caso. Primeiramente, com a pesquisa da evolução urbana da face sul e residencial do Centro Histórico de Porto Alegre. Uma análise da situação atual do bairro foi necessária para a compreensão e seleção das zonas potenciais. O objetivo final foi o mapeamento dos miolos de quarteirão na área de estudo, o qual, junto ao roteiro histórico e teórico do trabalho, pode contribuir com uma base para pesquisa sobre o espaço no interior das quadras em centros históricos. / Great cities are in constant transformation, changing their image and their urban morphology. This process also has an influence on the relation between free and constructed places in their urban tissue. This work proposes to investigate the morphology of empties places inside the blocks, researching the occurrence of these - in Porto Alegre downtown. The work begins studying the concept of these courtyards and then, follows to the search situations at different times in architecture and urbanism history. The cases presented were select from the mainly urban models that had constructed the shape of Porto Alegre Historic Center. One of these models is the traditional city, represented by the design of the old town. The other is the modern city, which brought new relations between buildings and their environments. After presenting the inside blocks situations in two scales - of the cities and architecture - the research gets into the case of Porto Alegre, where inumerous underutilized places are hidden. At this moment, the work passes through an analysis of the urban development of the residential south side of Porto Alegre Historic Center. A chapter about morphological and typological aspects was also necessary for selecting and understanding the potential areas. The ultimate goal was the mapping of the empty spaces inside the blocks at the district - the recognition of intervention possibilities. This work, within the historical and theoretical analysis presented before, contributes with a base for researching about empties spaces inside the blocks.

The semi-arid region of the Northeast of Brazil is a place known for its climactic and social difficulties since the colonization period and its main activity is the production of cheese ( queijo coalho and queijo manteiga ). This work is the result of the changes on the structure of the handcrafted cheese factories, especially because of the demanding of the rules concerning hygiene and food safety on dairy products. Its main goal is to identify the typological categories and relate them to the way the handcrafted cheese is made ( queijo coalho and queijo manteiga ), according to the regulations. The rural architecture was based on the connection between the environment built, the productive activity and the culture, in an effort to identify the constructive specificities of the local level. The model called co-evolução was used as the theoretical base. The field research was done in eleven rural cheese properties in the town of Major Izidoro, Alagoas, using physical and photographic data, subsidizing the investigation of productive and spatial. The criteria used were based on the rules of the (BPF). The architectonic cheese typologies were classified in three groups: the traditional (handcrafted cheese), the intermediate (handcrafted cheese or dairy) and the industrial (dairy), in relation to the inside and outside of the property, its composition and its organization. When it comes to the productive aspect, it was taken into consideration that the types of cheese are due to different processes in fabrication. The multidisciplinary theme suggests researches in social areas and in architecture, and it may explore more cheese factories in the state of Alagoas as in other regions of the Northeast. / A região semi-árida do nordeste brasileiro é uma região marcada pelas dificuldades climática e social desde o período da colonização e tem como atividade produtiva tradicional a fabricação dos queijos de coalho e de manteiga. Este trabalho surgiu das indagações a respeito das alterações na estrutura física das queijarias artesanais, decorrentes principalmente, das exigências às normas que tratam da higiene e segurança alimentar sobre os produtos lácteos. Tem como objetivo identificar as categorias tipológicas e relacioná-las ao modo de produção das queijarias artesanais de queijo de coalho e de queijo de manteiga, verificando o atendimento as regulamentações. A caracterização da arquitetura rural fundamentou-se na conexão entre o ambiente construído, a atividade produtiva e a cultura, no esforço de identificarem-se as especificidades construtivas ao nível local. Teve como base teórica, o modelo denominado de co-evolução. A pesquisa de campo ocorreu em onze propriedades rurais queijeiras do município de Major Izidoro, Alagoas, mediante levantamento físico e fotográfico, subsidiando a investigação dos vetores produtivo e espacial. Utilizaram-se como critérios os itens da norma (BPF). Classificou-se as tipologias arquitetônicas das queijarias em três grupos: o tradicional (fabriqueta), intermediário (fabriqueta ou laticínio) e industrial (laticínio), com respeito à parte interna e externa da propriedade, composição e organização. Quanto ao aspecto produtivo, considerou-se que os tipos de queijo são decorrentes dos diferentes processos de fabricação. O tema multidisciplinar sugere pesquisas nas áreas sociais e na arquitetura, podendo explorar mais queijarias tanto no estado de Alagoas, quanto em outras regiões do Nordeste.
