Ao afirmar que era realmente sobre uma arte, Worth contribui para uma mudança significativa no estado para aqueles que trabalharam com o criação de modelos de roupas, que só é possível em função das transformações ocorreu em formas de vida da sociedade nos séculos XVIII e XIX séculos. Atualmente, apesar de não tendo por unanimidade, que a matéria, uma nova mudança de discurso é visível entre os dedicados à criação de vestuário: a afirmação de que moda é um negócio, em franca oposição aos declaração Worth. Apesar disso, a concepção de que a moda está ligado à criatividade, o seu negócio natureza é enfatizada. Portanto, considera-se que, em da mesma forma que no tempo Worth, essa mudança de discurso pode ser interpretado em virtude de as transformações ocorridas ao longo do tempo. A moda é heurístico para a compreensão do século XX e XXI relações sociais, devido à crescente valorização da aparência e seu papel no capitalismo de desenvolvimento. Para desenvolver esta pesquisa, a moda é definida como um processo de produção, comercialização e consumo de bens simbólicos direcionado para a composição do imediatamente sensível (imagens, cheiros, sabores, sons, superfícies), que a aceitação / uso é de natureza efêmera e é causada por gostos, estilo social condicionalismos de ordem variável e / ou escolha deliberada em conta os objectivos e previamente estabelecidos expectativas, assumiu pelas relações de interdependência e funcionalidade que amarrar os diversos indivíduos, os contornos do que o sociólogo Norbert Elias chamou configuração. Portanto, a moda seria uma configuração marcada por quatro funções fundamentais: negócio, produto, expressão e utilização. Neste trabalho, o vestuário é especificamente considerado como o ponto de discussão. A estratégia adotada é através da trajetória de indivíduos representativos de ambos os pólos mencionados para desvendar o teia de relações que estão inseridos ea configuração que detém em seu desenvolvimento processo. Desta forma, será possível estabelecer as ligações entre pólos citados. Esses dois indivíduos representativos são o inglês Charles Worth, por seu projeto de moda fazer ser reconhecida como arte no século XIX, e Alexandre Herchcovitch. Em Relativamente a esta última, a escolha foi feita porque ele é um brasileiro de reconhecimento em relação Brasil (e que procura construir uma sólida internacional carreira) e que afirma ser uma moda negócios, o que termina por orientar sua vida profissional trajetória e, portanto, suas produções. Além dos livros que estudo de luxo, moda e capitalismo, trabalhos que discutem sócio-econômico transformações do período também são tomadas, como também acadêmicos e artigos de revistas, bem como livros escritos por Herchcovitch, tomadas para a configuração fins de análise. / Salvador

abstract: Research provides increasing support of self-worth, non-physical motives, and body image for predicting physical activity in women. However, no empirical tests of these associations have been conducted. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) has been recognized as useful for understanding correlates of physical activity. This study tested the feasibility of a novel EMA protocol and explored temporal relationships between daily self-worth and physical activity in middle-aged women. Women aged 35-64 years (N=63; M age=49.2±8.2 years) received text message prompts to an Internet-based mobile survey three times daily for 28 days. The survey assessed momentary activity, self-worth (knowledge, emotional, social, physical, general), and self-efficacy. Women concurrently wore an accelerometer on their non-dominant wrist. Feasibility was assessed via accelerometer wear-time estimates, survey completion rates, and participant feedback. Multilevel models examined the predictive influence of self-worth on daily activity counts. Self-efficacy was also tested due to known relationships with self-worth and physical activity in women. Wear time was high (952.92 ± 100.99 min per day), with only 141 observations lost to non-wear. However, 449 were lost to accelerometer malfunction. Women completed 80.8% of surveys. After excluding missing physical activity data, 67.5% of observations (N=3573) were analyzed. Although women thought the survey was easy to complete, perceptions of the accelerometer were mixed. Approximately 34% of the variance in daily counts was within individuals (ICC=0.66). Average self-efficacy (&#946;=0.005, p=0.009), daily fluctuations in self-efficacy (&#946;=0.001, p<0.001), and daily fluctuations in general self-worth (&#946;=0.04, p=0.003) predicted daily activity. There were significant individual differences in relationships between daily fluctuations in emotional (&#946;=0.006, p=0.02) and general self-worth (&#946;=0.005, p=0.02) and daily activity. The use of text message prompts and an Internet-based mobile survey was feasible for conducting EMA in middle-aged women. Research identifying optimal methods of behavior monitoring in longitudinal studies is needed. Results provide support for small but significant associations among daily fluctuations in self-efficacy and general self-worth and daily activity in middle-aged women. The impact of emotional self-worth may differ across women. Further research examining the transient natures of self-efficacy and general self-worth, improving self-worth scales, and testing momentary strategies to increase women's self-worth and physical activity is warranted. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Exercise and Wellness 2014

The primary motivation for conducting this study was the apparent conflict between Texas Education Agency guidelines for a vocational cooperative education program and the realities of actual program operation. In the program the mid-management student receives instruction, through a cooperative arrangement between the college and employers, in both academic courses and related vocational instruction.

Master of Arts / Department of History / Robert D. Linder / As pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church from 1972 to 2005 and three-time President of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in 1979 and 1986-1988, Adrian Rogers (1931-2005) played an integral role in promoting inerrancy within the SBC. His actions not only moved the SBC in a more conservative direction, if not a fundamentalist one, but also shifted Southern Baptists, politically, in the direction of the Republican Party. However, Rogers’s role in the SBC went further than just politics. His involvement within the SBC, his leadership at Bellevue Baptist Church and its eventual move to Cordova, Tennessee, suggest that Rogers was actually a builder. Love Worth Finding (LWF), has preserved his legacy after his death in 2005. As a result, this thesis argues that Adrian Rogers was not only a preacher, popular grassroots organizer within the SBC, or evangelist, but also a builder. If it had not been for Rogers, the “architectural” blueprint for the SBC would never have become a reality. When Rogers became pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church, the church resided in midtown Memphis and had close to 9,000 members. By the time he retired in 2005, the church had 28,000 members and was located in Cordova, Tennessee. Finally, Rogers launched LWF in the midst of the televangelist scandals of the late 1980s. Not only did LWF survive the unseemly televangelist fallout, it continues to broadcast Rogers’s sermons today.

This study documents that external and internal forces were causes of change at VCWTP. External forces caused. Fort Worth to reorganize and introduce new management at VCWTP after 1982. These improvements led to VCWTP being selected best managed wastewater treatment plant in the nation by EPA in 1988. This study first analyzes external and internal forces responsible for changes at VCWTP. A history of plant operations also is reviewed. Personnel interviews were conducted of perceptions of employees. Finally, statistics obtained of the plant operation from 1969 to 1988 are compared with personal interviews. Five forces effect change at VCWTP; population, regulatory requirements, political conflicts, an organizational and managerial factors. Turnaround occurred as external and internal corrections were made.
