XV, esta análise percorre imagens da Adoração dos Magos, dos séculos XIV e XV, baseadas no Evangelho de Mateus (2:1-12). O Evangelho de Lucas e alguns textos apócrifos serviram de base comparativa para as questões relacionadas à Natividade do Cristo no que tange à Epifania. Comparações em busca das semelhanças e das diferenças foram estabelecidas com base nas informações encontradas nessas narrativas. A existência dos Reis Magos, sua identidade, seu número, sua origem e a existência da Estrela de Belém foram objeto de estudo iconográfico, auxiliado por um corpus de imagens selecionado, que contou com uma xilogravura da Epifania da Biblia Pauperum e com diversas representações, têmperas e afrescos da pintura italiana dos séculos XIV e XV. Atenção especial foi dedicada à pintura Adoração dos Magos de 1375, de Paolo da Modena, que compõe o acervo de pinturas do Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / From the Bible Pauperum, incunabula of the fifteenth century, this analysis runs images of the Adoration of the Magi, the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, based on the text of Matthew (2: 1-12). The Gospel of Luke and some apocryphal texts served as a comparative basis for issues related to the Nativity of Christ regarding the Epiphany. Comparisons in search of the similarities and differences were based on information found in these reports. The existence of the Magi, their identity, their number, their origin and existence of the Star of Bethlehem, were the subject of iconographic study, aided by a corpus of images selected, which included a woodcut of the Epiphany Bible Pauperum and various representations, tempers and frescoes of Italian painting of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Special attention was devoted to painting of the Adoration of the Magi 1375 by Paolo da Modena, who compose the collection of paintings from the Art Museum of São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand.

Par le rôle qu’il a joué dans l’architecture privée en Île-de-France et dans l’architecture royale française, Louis Le Vau (1612-1670) est une figure difficilement contournable du siècle de Louis XIV et de nombreux travaux ont déjà abordé l’étude de sa vie et de son œuvre. Aucune entreprise monographique n’a toutefois été menée à bien à son sujet et des pans entiers de son activité demeurent aujourd’hui encore obscurs. La présente thèse constitue le premier volet d’une étude totale, dans laquelle les fruits de l’érudition et de l’analyse historique et artistique sont répartis suivant une trame chronologique resserrée. Elle couvre les vingt premières années de l’activité de Le Vau, depuis sa première œuvre connue, l’hôtel Bautru en 1634, jusqu’au début de son emploi à titre permanent au service du roi, en 1654. À travers l’étude successive de ses débuts professionnels jusqu’en 1639 (partie I), de son activité sur l’île Saint-Louis (partie II) et des progrès de sa carrière à la ville et à la cour (partie III), le propos est d’éclairer non seulement le portrait du jeune architecte, mais aussi le tableau des ambitions artistiques, sociales et politiques qui animent l’architecture française au milieu du XVIIe siècle. / Louis Le Vau (1612-1670) is one of the most famous artists of Seventeenth-Century France. His reputation is due both to his various town houses in Paris (hôtel Lambert for instance) and in Ile-de-France, and to his part of Premier Architecte of the king Louis XIV, especially on the building sites of the Louvre and Versailles. An amount of publications have dealt with his life and with his architectural works. Still, many major aspects of his career remain rather obscure. This PhD aims at considering Louis Le Vau as a whole, at unifying erudition and critical analysis within a close chronological frame. The twenty first years of Le Vau’s career are here considered, begining with his first work known today, the hôtel Bautru in 1634, and ending with Le Vau starting his permanent service of the king in 1654. Through the study of his youth and of his professional beginnings till 1639 (Part I), through the analysis of his builder’s activity on the Ile Saint-Louis (part II) and lastly, of his conquest of the whole town of Paris and of the Court society, the focus of this PhD is not only on the architectural identity of the young Le Vau, but on the links one can establish between his works and the artistical, social and political ambitions in France in the middle of the seventeenth century.

L'histoire métallique a en elle-même suscité un certain nombre d'ouvrages critiques qui se sont principalement concentrés sur la valeur numismatique du projet de la Petite Académie, délaissant quelque peu le livre qui a été réalisé au profit du métal. Bien que récemment le recueil ait été davantage mis en valeur, sa dimension historiographique et littéraire n'a été que rarement évoquée. C'est ainsi que L'histoire dans le livre de médailles de Louis XIV a vu le jour.Cette étude se propose alors de resituer l'oeuvre des académiciens dans un contexte historiographique traditionnel où les codes antiques prédominent. Cette dernière s'en inspire clairement tout en jouant avec eux, les amplifiant ou les écartant en fonction de ce qu'ils pourraient apporter à la gloire de l'absolutisme.Il convient également d'évoquer la place qu'occupent les auteurs dans cette entreprise collective, Leur effacement s'affirmera au fur et à mesure qu'approchera l'impression. Le cadre institutionnel finira lui-même relégué au second plan, derrière le roi. Il n'en demeure pas moins que les débats au sein des procès-verbaux témoignent de l'individualité des membres à la base de la création.Le recueil s'étant élaboré à partir d'un certain nombre de réformes et de règles préétablies, il sera finalement question d'en expliquer l'évolution. En effet, les principes de composition se perpétuent des manuscrits aux publications mais peuvent emprunter de nouvelles formes et manières de s'exprimer au fil de l'élaboration. Il arrive malgré tout qu'ils se contredisent dans leur application et doivent alors faire preuve d'adaptabilité. / Metallic history has led to a certain number of critical publications which have mainly focused on the numismatic value of the Petite Académie project, somehow moving away from the created book to concentrate on the metal. Although doser studies have recently been made of the book, its literary and historiographical dimension has seldom been raised. Thus The history in the book of medals of Louis the Fourteenth has corne into being.Therefore, this study intends to place the academicians work in a traditional historiographical context where antique codes prevail. The book clearly takes its inspiration from them while toying with them, magnifying or ruling them out depending on what they could bring to the glory of absolutism.The importance of the writers in this collective work should also be mentioned. They will progressively be moved aside as printing time gets doser. The institutionai framework will be pushed in the background, behind the king. However, it remains eue that the debates conducted within the minutes show the individuality of each writer at the origin of the creation.Finally, as the making of the book is based on a certain number of reforms and pre-established rules, its evolution will be explained. In Tact, the writing principles endure from the manuscripts to the publications and yet they may evolve into new ways of expression as the writing proceeds. Despite everything they may contradict one another in their application and have then to prove adaptable.

The objective of this study was to investigate how players experience learning English through playing the popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. It also discussed the improvement in English skills achieved through playing the game, exploring what aspects they have improved and how they were able to do that. This research may interest individuals seeking to understand how video games can improve language skills. Moreover, it is relevant to those who play MMORPGs, a genre where players can experience and practice real-life situations and roles. The research has been done through conducting semi-structured qualitative online interviews with six informants from different backgrounds and English levels. During the interviews, informants were questioned about their experience with learning English while playing Final Fantasy XIV. The results suggested that they improved their vocabulary knowledge and their communication skills through using productive skills with other players. Furthermore, players had different experiences on how they have learned, a few of them learned through repetition and exposure to the game’s content.

Aquest tesi doctoral es presenta com una aportació dins de l'activitat d'investigadora corresponent a la història de l'art valencià. Gràcies a l'anal'tica i l'estudi en profunditat de la documentació es pretén recuperar un buit historiogràfic, especialment dels pintors, però també d'altres artífexs i les seues obres, dintre del marc històric de la València dels segles XIII al XV. Per la qual cosa, i en primer lloc, hem recollit les fonts d'informació publicades, fent una exhaustiva revisió de les mateixes per a extraure aquells documents publicats, a més d'exhumar nombrosos documents inèdits per desenvolupar aquesta investigació sobre els pintors valencians i altres artífex, gràcies a lo qual hem pogut realitzar un discurs sobre l'activitat artística, social i particular de tots ells, resultant poder dispondre d'una nombrosa quantitat de fitxes d'artífexs, amb la sua documentació, per a futures investigacions. / Mocholi Roselló, A.

The Domestic Workers Skills Development Project, funded by the National Skills Fund, was designed to improve the skill levels of domestic workers in South Africa. It also was intended to address their historical lack of education and to advance their socio-economic circumstances. This study investigates the implementation of this project within the framework of community development. Basadi Pele Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation, was a participant in this project. The central question was how to empower marginalised women through skills development. This implies a learning process for domestic workers and all involved. Different learning theories are investigated to develop an understanding of how these illiterate adult women learned during this opportunity. The conclusion reached by this study is that a gender sensitive environment, created by government institutions and the NGO involved, enabled domestic workers to change their lives and circumstances; enhancing this project and contributing to its success. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)

This study illustrates the link between foreign policy, public diplomacy and the media, with reference to the South African Government’s refusal in 2009 and 2011 to issue visas to the Dalai Lama. The research question is: How do the South African media frame foreign policy and how do administrators react to this actuality? As there seems to be a void in South African international political communications, this is where this study purports to contribute. The aim is to investigate how the media frames foreign policy, specifically regarding the case study. Therefore, the media, human rights and foreign policies, and the diplomatic practices of the South African government are studied. The objective is not necessarily to prove or disprove the causal effect of media and public opinion on foreign policy but rather to illustrate the interaction between these elements in the case of the South African government’s denial of visas to the Dalai Lama. / Political Sciences / M.A. (International Politics)

The main goal of this study is to demonstrate the role of the Holy Spirit in building up Church unity, based on the exegesis of I Corinthians. The current theme is urgent; however, little attention has been paid to it in research literature. We have noted that it is not human wisdom but the Holy Spirit who is the key to our faith, salvation, and understanding of divine mysteries. The Holy Spirit along with Christ brings forward the building of the Church and guides it. One Spirit is the foundation for Church unity. The Holy Spirit administers spiritual gifts according to His will and establishes their orderly operation. Seeking the guidance of the Spirit, trusting and obeying Him brings unity, whereas following different authorities, mistrusting and disobeying Him results in disunity. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M. Th. (New Testament)
