Static and Dynamic Aspects of the Roman Family Abstract: The thesis deals with Roman family law, the core of the research being the Roman family in the Republican era and the beginning of the Principate. However, the archaic rules of regal period on one hand, and of the period of Dominate or even of the times of Justinian on the other, can also be included to present the overall picture of the development of a certain institution. Three main research goals are outlined in the introduction of the work to be reached throughout the following three chapters. The first goal is to define the term of the Roman family; the second is to connect theory and practice, i.e. so-called law in books and law in action. Therefore, we shall first analyze the legal rules and then compare these theoretical findings with their practical application. The practice shall be ascertained mainly from the non-legal sources of literal or epigraphic character. The third goal is to utilize an interdisciplinary approach, i.e. to use the outcomes, methods, and procedures from the research fields other than legal sciences to deepen our knowledge of the Roman family. The first chapter (Family in Ancient Rome) focuses on the Roman family from different points of view. The polysemous terms familia and domus are analyzed. Familia signifies...

This thesis examines accounts of electricity in journalism, short stories, novels, poetry and instructional writings, composed between 1830 and 1880 by scientific investigators, popular practitioners and fiction authors. The writings are approached as diverse and often incongruous impressions of electricity, in which the use of figurative and narrative techniques brings into question distinctions between science and literature. It is proposed that the unusual combination of electricity’s historical characterisation as an elixir vitae, intense investigation by contemporary scientists, and close alliance with new technologies offered unique opportunities for imaginative speculation. The thesis contends that engaging with these conflicting characteristics created a synthesis of scientific, social and literary responses that defy epistemological and generic categorisation. Fictionality is approached in chapter two as a central feature of scientific conceptualisation, experiment and discovery, particularly in the work of Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell. In chapters three and four, the landscape of popular non-fiction books and periodicals is mapped, to show the ways in which the period’s publication contexts and forums, reading patterns, and use of literary practices contributed to wider engagement with ideas about electricity. Chapters five and six focus on fiction writings, identifying parallels and divergences between actual electrical science and its fictional portrayal. Short stories are shown to have emphasised associations between electricity, neurosis, deformity and the occult, complicating contemporary scientific optimism and presenting electricity as an alluring yet dangerous phenomenon, which disordered the natural world and man’s relationship with it. These characteristics are identified further in the metaphorical references of several canonical novelists, in the exploitation of electricity, elixirs and power depicted by William Harrison Ainsworth and Edward Bulwer-Lytton, and through a case study of the text and reception of a popular novel about electricity by Benjamin Lumley. The thesis contends that electricity’s anomalous and protean nature produced distinctively hybrid responses that enhance our understanding of contemporary popular writing, its contexts and how it was read.

This thesis deals with the development of education of future teachers with a focus on the history of female teachers' education from the year 1869 to the present. The thesis describes life in the 19th century. Mainlythe greatest sociocultural and political changes that occurred in itform the perspective of economy, industry and commerce, as well as from the changing the point of view on a family, home and population health, and finally, from the point of a shifted vision of citizenship, education and emancipation of women. It also focuses on a detailed description of teacher education in the Czech lands from the 19th century to the present, mainly on the period from Hasner's reform of 1869, the First Republic, post-war education and an overview of contemporary education. The thesis pays attention on the beginnings of women's education with a focus on female teachers. It describes the issue of teacher celibacyvalid for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the first year of the independent Czechoslovak state. It outlines changes in the numbers of male and female teachers, especially in the last 10 years. The thesis contains medallions of three female teachers, pioneers of women's education and teacher training in our country. It depicts the pedagogical work and private life of Františka Amerlingová, the...

Esta dissertação trata da construção do conceito de história do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Rio Grande do Sul (IHGRGS). Para isto, desenvolveu-se uma análise do perfil dos homens que fundaram esta Instituição em 1920, em Porto Alegre/RS, inspirada em sua congênere nacional, o Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro. Inicialmente, apresenta-se uma breve análise acerca das trajetórias profissionais e das experiências ligadas às letras vividas pelos fundadores da entidade. A segunda parte do texto ocupa-se da constituição do conceito de história apropriado pelo Instituto; para isso, fez-se uma análise dos textos publicados na Revista do IHGRGS. Sabe-se então que o discurso historiográfico estruturado é o resultado da simbiose entre o conceito de história antigo, marcado principalmente pelo princípio da Historia magistra vitae, e o conceito moderno de história que se preocupa em garantir a produção de um saber científico e positivo, objetivo último do Instituto. / This dissertation aims to discuss the construction of the concept of history of the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Rio Grande do Sul (Rio Grande do Sul Historical and Geographical Institute). It develops an analysis of the profile of the man who founded this institution in 1920, in Porto Alegre/RS, inspired by its national congeners, the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro (Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute). Initially, it presents a brief analysis about the founders' professional trajectories and their experiences concerning the letters. The second part broaches the constitution of the concept of history appropriated by the Institute, through the analysis of the texts published in its journal. It's known that the historiography's discourse structured is the result of a symbiosis between the ancient concept of History, marked by the principles of the Historia magistra vitae, and the modern concept of History, which intended to guarantee the production of a scientific and positive knowledge, the main goal of the Institute.

The graduation thesis deals with the function of a CV in the process of finding an employment, particularly in the period before a face-to-face job interview. The subject matter is observed from the point of view of the employer and of the job applicant as well. In the theoretical part, the crucial terms are explicated and the preparations before the appointment are described. The practical part of the thesis confronts and observes theoretical information taken from a sample that consisted of sixty real CVs. Data in the theoretical part is compared with real facts. On the basis of this confrontation, conclusions concerning various categories as well as the whole issue are made.

L'utilisation massive de l'Internet et les ordinateurs ont changé plusieurs aspects de notre vie quotidienne et la façon que nous postulons pour un travail n'y fait pas exception. Aujourd'hui, le recrutement et sélection des candidats pour un poste se font en utilisant les technologies de l'information. Ceci a créé le recrutement électronique. Depuis les 15 dernières années, les chercheurs du Traitement de la Langue Naturelle ont étudié comment améliorer les performances des recruteurs avec l'aide du recrutement électronique. Beaucoup de systèmes ont été développés dans ce domaine, depuis les moteurs de recherche de candidats ou de postes jusqu'au classement automatique de candidats. Dans ce dernier cas, les systèmes développés font, pour la plupart, la comparaison entre les CV des candidats et les offres d'emploi. Seul un système utilise les CV de processus de sélection relevant du passé pour classer les candidats à un nouveau poste. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous avons étudié la possibilité et la façon d'utiliser les CV, sans avoir à exploiter aucun processus de sélection précédent, pour développer nouvelles méthodes applicables aux systèmes de recrutement électronique. Plus spécifiquement, nous commençons par le traitement automatique d'un grand ensemble de CV utilisés pendant des processus réels de recrutement et sélection. Ensuite, nous analysons et appliquons différentes mesures de proximité pour savoir lesquelles sont les plus appropriées pour étudier les CV des candidats. Après, nous introduisons une méthode innovante qui repose sur le Relevance Feedback et l'utilisation de mesures de proximité seulement sur les CV pour pouvoir classer les candidats d'un poste. Finalement, nous présentons l'étude et l'application d' une mesure statistique permettant de comparer, en même temps, l'offre d'emploi, un certain candidat et les autres candidats ; le but est de pouvoir classer tous les candidats d'un poste. Dans cette thèse, nous montrons que les CV contiennent assez d'information sur le processus de sélection pour pouvoir classer les candidats. Néanmoins, il est important de choisir correctement les mesures de proximité à utiliser. D'ailleurs, nous présentons des résultats intéressants de la triple comparaison entre les CV et les offres d'emploi. Les résultats obtenus dans cette thèse forment une base pour la conception de nouveaux prototypes de systèmes de recrutement électronique et possiblement le début d'une nouvelle façon pour les développer. / The massification of the Internet and computers has changed several aspects of our daily life and the way we apply to a job is not the exception. Nowadays, the recruitment and selection of applicants for a job is done through the use of information technologies, creating what it is known as e-Recruitment. Since the last 15 years, the researchers in Natural Language Processing have been studying how to improve the performance of recruiters with the help of the e-Recruitment. Several systems have been developed in this field, from the job and applicants search engines to the automatic ranking of applicants. In the last case, most of the developed systems consist in the comparison between the résumés of applicants and a job offer. Only one system makes use of résumés from past selection processes to rank newer applicants.In this thesis we study whether and how we can use the résumés, without having to use past selection processes, to develop new methods for e-Recruitment systems. More specifically, we start with the automatic treatment of a large set of résumés used during real recruitment and selection processes. Then, we analyze and apply different proximity measures to know which are the most adequate to study the résumés of applicants. We introduce, after, an innovative method which consists on the Relevance Feedback and the use of proximity measures over uniquely the résumés to rank applicants. Finally, we present the study and application of a statistical measure which allows us to compare, at the same time, the job offer, one specific applicant and the rest of applicants, in order to rank all the job candidates. Along this thesis we show that résumés have enough information about the selection processes, in order to rank the applicants. Nonetheless, it is important to choose correctly the proximity measure to use. As well, we present interesting outcomes from the triple comparison between résumés and job offers.The results obtained in this thesis are the basis for a new prototype of an e-Recruitment system and hopefully, the beginning of a new way to create these.

La présente étude est consacrée à Pierre Favre (1506-1546), membre de la Compagnie de Jésus. Elle est une lecture d’un extrait de son Mémorial daté du 25 décembre 1542 et dans lequel il dit souhaiter « avec ardeur pouvoir vraiment "naître de Dieu" ». L’étude comporte deux parties. La première est analytique et s’emploie, avec l’aide de méthode dites structurale et intertextuelle, à dégager les grands thèmes dans le but de donner un sens au texte. Nous voyons que le désir de Favre de naître de Dieu se réalise par la contemplation qu’il fait de la naissance du Seigneur dans l’étable et par son action apostolique, qui alors, est celle de célébrer les messes de la Nativité et de prier à l’intention de son prochain. La seconde partie développe plus l’aspect interprétatif esquissé en donnant un éclairage nouveau sur quelques éléments de la naissance spirituelle de Favre en cette nuit de Noël. Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) nous accompagne dans cette démarche par sa pensée théologique.

His work was developed in the fields of metaphysics, ethics and poetics. The philosophical text, written in Arabic and translated to Latin as Fons Vitae, was used by the medieval Christian philosophers who, calling him Avicebron, did not known his origin. His poems, written in Hebrew, were incorporated to the Jewish liturgy. In 1847, Salomon Munk discovered that they were the same man. This has made possible the attempt to identify the sources which had influenced the several facets of the author s work, facilitating the contact with the central core of his ideas. The aim of this work is the reconstruction of the author s identity from the comprehension of his work as the reflex of a mystical quest. For such purpose, we use a methodology developed from Henri Bergson indications, who understands the Intuition as a philosophical method, which would be reached through a Mediating Image / Schlomo Ibn Gabirol foi um pensador judeu que viveu na Espanha sob o domínio islâmico.
