Buddhist prison outreach is a relatively recent development, in the United States of America and elsewhere, and has yet to be chronicled satisfactorily. This thesis traces the physical, legal and social environment in which such activities take place and describes the history of Buddhist prison outreach in the USA from its earliest indications in the 1960s to the present day. The mechanics of Buddhist prison outreach are also examined. Motivations for participating in Buddhist prison outreach are discussed, including Buddhist textual supports, role models and personal benefits. This paper then proposes that volunteers active in this area are members of a liminal communitas as per Victor Turner and benefit from ‘non-player’ status, as defined by Ashis Nandy. The experiences of the inmates themselves is beyond the scope of this thesis. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Religious Studies)

Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie studie is onderneem met die doel om 'n model te ontwikkel waarmee die wenner in 'n konvensionele landgeveg voorspel kan word. Gegewe die omvang van die vakgebied oorlog, is die studie beperk tot die taktiese vlak en fokus op landgevegte tydens konvensionele oorlogvoering. As eerste stap in die ontwikkelingpsproses, is die faktore wat wen kan bepaal krygskundig nagevors. Die sogenaamde honderdgevegte-datastel is saamgestel uit data van 100 gevegte uit die twintigste eeu en net vroeer, met die klem op gevegte waarin Suid-Afrikaanse magte betrokke was. Verskeie statistiese tegnieke is ondersoek om 'n geskikte tegniek vir die ontleding van die data te vind. Die ondersoek het aangetoon dat logistiese regressie die beste tegniek is vir die data. 'n Ontwikkelingsproses met drie voorspellers is ook saamgestel. Verskeie modelle is ondersoek, naamlik 1 'n Voorspellingsmodel met eensydige sub-modelle sonder gevegshouding, met en sonder opponentdata. I 2 'n Voorspellingsmodel met eensydige sub-modelle met gevegshouding, met en sonder opponentdata. 3 'n Voorspellingsmodel met tweesydige sub-modelle met opponentdata.. Die ontwikkelingsproses lewer verskeie modelle wat baie goed presteer sensitiwiteit > 80%). 'n Finale keuse lewer die volgende resultaat: 1 Vir die geval waar opponentdata nie beskikbaar is nie, is 'n eensydige submode! sonder gevegshouding ontwikkel waarvan die resultaat teen 'n skeidingsgrens gemeet word om die uitslag te bepaal. Die model het 'n sensitiwiteit van 85%, maar kan net 'n wen of gelykop, of, verloor of gelykop voorspel. 2 Vir die geval waar opponentdata beskikbaar is, is 'n eensydige sub-model ivsonder gevegshouding ontwikkel wat in staat is om, deur die opponente se uitslag met mekaar te vergelyk, die wenner aan te wys. Hierdie model het 'n sensitiwiteit van 83,8% Verskeie statistiese en krygskundige gevolgtrekkings word gemaak, die belangrikste waarvan dat die gekose modelle wel daartoe in staat is om gevegsvoorspellings akkuraat te kan uitvoer. Die modelle kan ook aangewend word om gevegte te ontleed en tendense te verklaar. Krygskundig bevestig die resultaat die noodsaaklikheid van die maneuvreringsbenadering en goeie leierskap. Die resultaat van die studie het wye aanwendingspotensiaal op die gebied van die krygskunde, krygsfilosofie, krygspele en militere operasionele navorsing en laat ruimte vir interessante en noodsaaklike verdere navorsing in operasionele navorsing sowel as in die krygskunde. / The aim of this study is to develop models for the efficient prediction of the outcome of a land battle. The study is confined to conventional warfare at the tactical level. The first step was to identify the variables that may determine victory. Thirty such variables enjoying the support of various military historians and philosophers were selected. The hundred-battle data set, consisting of coded data for a hundred twentieth-century battles, was compiled. The thirty variables were encoded for each combatant. Since the outcome and most of the prediction variables are binary but a few are continuous, ordinary linear regression could not be used and several statistical and other techniques were evaluated. Logistic regression was found to be the best. A formalized development and selection process was applied to a number of broad model classes. These were 1 prediction models with one-sided sub-models without combat posture and with (without) opponent data 2 prediction models with one-sided sub-models with combat posture and with (without) opponent data 3 prediction models with two-sided sub-models without combat posture and with opponent data. The process provided several very good models and the following were selected. Without opponent data. A one-sided sub-model without combat posture, utilizing a discriminator was selected. It determines the outcome with a sensitivity of 85%. However, it only predicts victory or a draw, defeat or a draw. With opponent data. A one-sided sub-model without combat posture was selected. It predicts the outcome of battle by comparing the results of the two opponents. This model vishowed a sensitivity of 83,8%. Several statistical and military scientific conclusions followed, the most important being that the chosen models can accurately predict battle outcome or post facto determine the outcome. The models can also be used to analyze battles. In this role they confirm the importance of maneuver warfare and good leadership. The results of this study can be applied in military science, military philosophy and war gaming. The work fuses military philosophy with statistical analysis, is a first in the field and offers the possibility of breaking out of the mind-set of personal views and biases prevalent in military science. The method as such can be applied to different data bases representing war at other levels or with other technologies. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D.Phil. (Philosophy)

In my master's thesis I inquire into Jaroslav Vrchlický's translation of French poetry. In five chapters I analyse Vrchlický's translations of the poems by the Parnasists José-Maria de Heredia, Sully Prudhomme, Leconte de Lisle and François Coppée; the fifth is the romantic author Victor Hugo. The analyses are preceded by a bibliographic-descriptive part, an overview of Vrchlický's studies related to the poet in question and reception of Vrchlický's translations in contemporary periodicals. The summarizing chapters describe Vrchlický's translation method and the relationship of F. X. Šalda as the leading figure of contemporary literary criticism to Jaroslav Vrchlický. A substantial part of the work is a bibliographical index of Vrchlický's translations of French poetry published in books and journals as well as a list of his critical studies. As information source we have used the digitalized card catalogue Retrobi available online at the website of the Institute of Czech Literature, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

A partir de seus dois livros publicados postumamente: L’Europe: genèse d’une civilisation (1999) e Honneur et Patrie (1996), procuramos mapear primeiramente o conceito de Europa, e posteriormente, o surgimento de uma pátria cristã, passando pela européia, e por fim, o fortalecimento de um ideal da pátria francesa, após o século XVII. Toda essa problemática levantada por Lucien Febvre foi dada como um reflexo do contexto em que a Europa, principalmente a França se encontrava, no período da ocupação alemã em seu solo. Observamos que ao realizar tais estudos, Lucien Febvre utilizou-se da psicologia histórica, aplicando em todos os seus cursos, o conceito de outillage mental para mapear essa Europa, mas, principalmente, para tentar compreender sua trágica França / This paper deals with two Lucien Febvre’s courses, held in Collège de France between 1944 and 1947. From his two after death published books, L’Europe: genèse d’une civilisation (1999) and Honneur et Patrie (1996), the intention is, first of all, to map the Europe’s concept and then the arising of a Christian country, going through the European country, to finally the strengthening of an ideal French’s country, after the XVII Century. All this subject matter proposed by Lucien Febvre was taken as a reflex of the context in which Europe, specially France was living at that time, with the German invasion in French’s soil. Carrying out his studies, Lucien Febvre has used historical psychology, providing in all his courses the “mental outillage” concept to map that Europe, but specially his “tragical” France

@Hebe Camargo, a “Hebe da Internet”, é tida por muitos como uma das principais webcelebridades brasileiras.

A consulta aos periódicos do fim dos anos 1850 e inicio da década seguinte revelou novos dados sobre o contexto histórico em que a publicação foi realizada e, sobretudo, acerca de sua importância no meio artístico brasileiro. O livro apresenta um conjunto de imagens que associam fotografia e litografia, duas inovações técnicas relacionadas ã modernidade. Em relação à repercussão do livro, duas cartas do escritor Victor Hugo destinadas a Ribeyrolles, amplamente divulgadas em sua época, nos levam a refletir sobre o papel relevante que a fotografia e a litografia assumiram no campo artístico brasileiro no século XIX, e sobre a importância do livro enquanto obra de caráter abolicionista e liberal. Concebido para representar o Brasil na Exposição Universal de Londres em 1862, o livro causou grande impacto em sua época, tanto pelo texto como pelas ilustrações. Entre as litografias, produzidas na França a partir das fotografias de Frond, podemos destacar a série de vistas do Rio de Janeiro e a que registra o trabalho escravo nas fazendas fluminenses, a mais conhecida atualmente. As imagens do Brasil Pitoresco, amplamente divulgadas, ganharam autonomia em relação ao livro, e trouxeram inovações formais que se revelaram importantes para a produção de pintores e fotógrafos do período. / Abstract: In this thesis I have analyzed the reception of the book the Brazil Pittoresco (Picturesque Brazity, produced by the French Charles Ribeyrolles and Victor Frond (1859-1861), and considered by the critic Alexandre Eulálio as one of the "highest moments of our 19th century iconography". The search on periodicals of the end of the 1850's and the beginning of the following decade has revealed new data about the historical context of the book's publication and, moreover, about its importance to the artistic Brazilian realm. The book presents a series of images that associate photography with lithography, two technical innovations that relate to modernity. Repercussion wise, two letters from the writer Victor Hugo to Ribeyrolles, amply publicized back then, lead us into reflecting upon the relevant role assumed by the book regarding the 19th century Brazilian artistic realm and upon its importance as a liberal and abolitionist work. Conceived in order to represent Brazil in the 1862's London Universal Exhibition, the book produced a huge impact on its times, be it because of its text or because of its illustrations. Among the lithographs, which were produced in France from Frond's photographs, we call attention upon the Rio de Janeiro's landscape series and the one that records slave work at haciendas in the Fluminense region. The latter is the most studied nowadays. The Brazil Pittoresco images, which were amply publicized, gained autonomy and brought about formal innovations that proved to be important for the production of painters and photographers of the period. / Doutorado / Historia da Arte / Doutor em História

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / "Public Archeology" is one of the ever-growing segments since its inception in the mid-1970s. Since then, it has become part of debates, alternating debates on the social role of the archaeologist, preservation of sites, Insertion of society in scientific works and the future of this science / discipline. Throughout contradictions regarding the definition of its "public", the theorists of this segment have emphasized that "all Archeology, regardless of its thematic clipping or theoretical-methodological choices, should be, in essence, public" (CARVALHO, FUNARI, 2007). Thus, from the understanding of an archeology of the state: the "defender of the patrimony" and the "representative of society", to Archeology of "people, the public and the public" (idem). It is connected to this discussion the insertion of the context of the Archeology of Slavery in the southeast of Piauí and how these relations, at present, composse the memory and local history about this quotidian of the past and its resonance in the present. Following these reflections, this research aims to present a study under the bias of Collaborative Archeology, with the inhabitants of the community of Lagoa de São Vitor, located in the southeast of Piauí, in the identification and characterization of the constituent spaces of the former "Complexo Produtivo Fazenda São Victor". The results comprised the localization of six social spaces between the various actors who settled there: the headquarters, the corral, the slave quarters, the lagoon, the slave graveyard and the village of freed slaves, these places were characterized by from the interpretation of science and popular wisdom of the community, built on collaborative relationships of mutual respect. / A “Arqueologia Pública” é um dos segmentos em constante crescimento desde a sua origem em meados da década de 1970. Essa, desde então, passou a integrar discussões, protagonizar debates que alternam sobre o papel social do arqueólogo, a preservação dos sítios, a inserção da sociedade nos trabalhos científicos e o próprio futuro desta ciência/disciplina. Perpassando contradições quanto à definição de seu “público”, os teóricos deste segmento têm enfatizado que “toda Arqueologia, independente de seu recorte temático ou escolhas teóricometodológicas, deveria ser, em essência, pública” (CARVALHO; FUNARI, 2007). Desse modo, passando da compreensão de uma Arqueologia do estado: o “defensor do patrimônio” e o “representante da sociedade”, para uma Arqueologia das “pessoas, do público e para o público” (idem). Conecta-se a essa discussão a inserção do contexto da Arqueologia da Escravidão no sudeste do Piauí e como essas relações, atualmente, compõem a memória e história local acerca desse cotidiano do passado e sua ressonância no presente. Seguindo tais reflexões, esta pesquisa, objetiva apresentar um estudo sob o viés da Arqueologia Colaborativa, com os habitantes da Comunidade Lagoa de São Vitor, localizada no sudeste do Piauí, na identificação e caracterização dos espaços constituintes do antigo “Complexo Produtivo Fazenda São Victor”. Os resultados compreenderam a localização de seis espaços de convívio entre os diversos atores que ali se estabeleceram: a casa-sede, o curral, a senzala, a lagoa, o cemitério dos escravos e a vila de escravos libertos, estes locais caracterizaram-se a partir da interpretação da ciência e da sabedoria popular da comunidade, construída a partir de relações colaborativas de respeito mútuo. / Laranjeiras, SE
