A r?pida expans?o de BYOD e as quest?es de seguran?a e privacidade de dados representam desafios significativos para as organiza??es. A resposta mais comum a essas preocupa??es ? a ado??o de pol?ticas corporativas que regem BYOD. Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar a inten??o dos funcion?rios em cumprir com a pol?tica de seguran?a da organiza??o no contexto de BYOD, quando os funcion?rios utilizam seus dispositivos pessoais para acessar recursos organizacionais para realizarem o trabalho, dentro ou fora do ambiente organizacional. Para tanto, foi utilizada a Teoria de Motiva??o a Prote??o (TMP) como embasamento te?rico. Em termos metodol?gicos, a presente pesquisa, ? do tipo descritiva e tamb?m explorat?ria com uma abordagem quantitativa. N?o aleat?ria ? o tipo de amostragem. Para coleta, foi aplicado um question?rio estruturado, tipo survey, com um conjunto de itens de medi??o para cada construto. A etapa de an?lise dos dados foi realizada por meio de utiliza??o de t?cnicas de estat?stica descritiva e an?lise multivariada, tais como a An?lise Fatorial Explorat?ria (AFE) e a Regress?o Linear M?ltipla (RLM). Do ponto de vista te?rico, os resultados demonstram que o modelo PMT fornece uma base te?rica s?lida para a investiga??o nesta ?rea. No entanto, os resultados tamb?m indicam que este modelo ? afetado por fatores contextuais, e que a escolha da amostra pode influenciar a import?ncia dos diferentes componentes do modelo. Portanto, o cuidado deve ser tomado na generaliza??o desses resultados para outros contextos e popula??es / The advancement of mobile technology, with regard to the availability of 3G / 4G and use of devices such as Smartphones and Tablets yielded a new communication phenomenon: BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), is a new business trend, where employees are using their own devices for work purposes. The rapid expansion of BYOD , data security and privacy issues pose significant challenges for organizations. The most common response to these concerns is the adoption of corporate policies governing BYOD. This study aims to analyze the intention of employees to comply with the organization's security policy in the context of BYOD, when employees use their personal devices to access organizational resources to develop work related tasks, inside or outside the organizational environment. Therefore, we will use the Motivation Theory Protection as theoretical basis. In terms of methodology, this research will be a descriptive and exploratory study with a quantitative approach. Nonrandom will be the type of sampling. For collection, a structured questionnaire, survey type, with a set of measurement items for each construct is applied. The data analysis step is performed by means of descriptive statistics, Exploratory Factor Analysis and Multiple Linear Regression. From a theoretical point of view, the results demonstrate that the PMT model provides a solid theoretical basis for research in this area. However, the results also suggest that this model is affected by contextual factors, and the selection of the sample may influence the importance of the different components of the model. Therefore, caution should be taken in generalizing these results to other settings and populations.

nÃo hà / This paper analyzes the impact of the Program âYour Receipt is Worth Moneyâ created by the Department of Finance of the state of CearÃ, to stimulate people to demand receipts when purchasing goods from stores. Thus, the Program tends to increase the collecting of VAT due to the issuing of invoices and, at the same time, lower tax evasion, since at SEFAZ/CE, part of the collection returns to the tax payer registered in the program. The analysis of the effects of the Program âYour Receipt is Worth Moneyâ SEFAZ/CE, on the collection of the State of CearÃ, was performed using linear regression models, and, for this, we used the collection of VAT retail trade, the indices of the volume of retail sales and industrial production. In all models, these ratios were statistically significant and positively affect the collection of VAT retail. In terms of evaluation, it was observed that, in some models, the Program âYour Receipt is Worth Moneyâ has a positive effect on the collection and in others the effect is null-statistically equal to zero. / Este trabalho objetiva analisar o impacto do Programa âSua Nota Vale Dinheiroâ criado pela Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado do CearÃ, visando estimular a populaÃÃo a exigir o documento fiscal ao adquirir mercadorias junto ao comÃrcio varejista. Sendo assim, o Programa tende a aumentar a arrecadaÃÃo de ICMS por conta da emissÃo de notas fiscais e, ao mesmo tempo, por menor sonegaÃÃo fiscal, uma vez que a SEFAZ/CE devolve parte da arrecadaÃÃo ao contribuinte cadastrado no Programa. A anÃlise do efeito do Programa âSua Nota Vale Dinheiroâ da SEFAZ/CE sobre a arrecadaÃÃo do Estado do Ceara, foi realizada por meio de modelo de regressÃo linear e, para isto, foram utilizadas a arrecadaÃÃo do ICMS do comÃrcio varejista, os Ãndices do volume de vendas do comÃrcio varejista e da produÃÃo industrial. De acordo com os resultados, todos estes Ãndices foram estatisticamente significantes e afetam positivamente a arrecadaÃÃo de ICMS do varejo. Em termos de avaliaÃÃo, observou-se que o Programa âSua Nota Vale Dinheiroâ possui efeito positivo sobre a arrecadaÃÃo.

This thesis examines the methods through which Gail Anderson-Dargatz and Ann-Marie MacDonald construct region in their novels The Cure for Death by Lightning and Fall on Your Knees. These texts, like all successful regional novels, describe more than geography. Their regions are also functions of time. I introduce the term "temporal region" to describe the spaces created by this interdependence of time and place. I then focus upon the specifics of descriptive and narrative approach that lead to the convincing portrayal of the Shuswap and Cape Breton Island in the texts. Anderson-Dargatz and MacDonald direct attention to the foddways of their regions, expressing the connection between consumption choices and a society's historical and physical location. The authors also articulate their regions by highlighting cultural diversity in the areas they describe. In this way they deny the social homogeneity more sentimental regional texts often rely upon. Finally, the novelists use an appropriately Canadian method of regional opposition to define their temporal regions according to that which they are not ~ they are not American, glamorous, or urban. They therefore must be Canadian, quotidian, and rural. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

The aim of the essay is to problematize the main characters' conception of identity in André Aciman's novel Call Me by Your Name. Due to Elio's inability to see himself and Oliver as continuously constructing and shifting bodies, the essay claims that the end of their relationship as they knew it during their summer in Italy was inevitable. By employing a critical discourse analysis and deconstructive approach, the way the characters position themselves during and after that summer is examined and critiqued. It is found that what contributes to the end of their relationship is their struggle with the multitude of aspects of their identities that are considered to be flaws or insufficiencies. Therefore, certain interests and aspects of their lives are kept a secret. In consequence, this secrecy hinders a full understanding of the other and reveals their idealization as wishful thinking, rather than reality.

I Spit on Your Grave is a low budget rape/revenge-movie released in 1978, directed by Meir Zarchi. The plot follows Jennifer Hills, who is brutally raped by a group of men and then left for dead. She survives and then proceeds to seek revenge on her rapists. In 2010, a new adaptation was released, with a similar plot and characters, directed by Steven R. Monroe. This study sets out to examine the differences between the portrayal of protagonist Jennifer Hills in the 1978 original and the 2010 version of I Spit on Your Grave. Using qualitative content analysis and a structuralist and semiotic perspective, the study also aims to explore what these differences can tell us about the societies responsible for producing the movies. The theories examined in order to properly answer these questions are mainly feminist film theory derived from acknowledged film theorists and scholars such as Carol Clover and Laura Mulvey. The material analyzed consists of scenes where Jennifer is present, and the results show that Jennifer in 1978 is portrayed in a more feminine manner, heavily influenced by the femme fatale from the 1940’s film noir. She uses her beauty and body to seduce the men in order to kill them, whereas Jennifer in 2010 is portrayed as a woman whose characteristics after the rape transforms into those of a man. In order to get revenge on her rapists, she has to behave more like them. Rather than a beauty, Jennifer is portrayed as a monster. Zarchis' film from the 1970’s seems to reward women behaving and looking like women, while Monroes film from 2010 encourages women to act like men, in order to survive.

The aim of the diploma thesis "Comparison of the League of Polish Families and the Palikot's Movement in the Context of Changes of Polish Society" was to describe activity of the LPR and the RP, to chararacterize their ideology and to find out whether their policies caused changes in opinions of the Polish society on some social issues (abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality and gay rights and involvement of priest in politics) or not and whether these changes caused gain or loss of the electoral support of both parties or not. The analysis of both parties revealed that the League of Polish Families, which was supported by part of the Roman Catholic Church in elections and was against abortion, euthanasia and strengthening of gay rights, is a populist Catholic far-right party (in the sense of the Cas Mudde's definition), and the Palikot's Movement, later Your Movement, which holds opposite positions, can be defined as a liberal movement with populist elements. The analysis of public opinion surveys revealed that the Polish society has tendencies to more conservative attitude during public debate about controversial issues, no matter if "ultraconservative" or "ultraliberal" party succeeds in elections. The analysis also revealed that change (or preservation) of the opinions of the Polish society did not affect...

The purpose of this research was to understand the beliefs and attitudes of teachers that affect their perceptions of job satisfaction in one small rural Florida school district. Data collected included a self-administered survey of Likert-type items measuring 20 factors for job satisfaction (96% response rate), individual semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. Analysis of the data confirmed prior research suggesting that multiple factors influence job satisfaction. Intrinsic satisfaction factors were the best predictors of overall job satisfaction: security, activity, social service, variety, and ability utilization. Extrinsic factors were most likely to predict overall dissatisfaction: recognition, company policies, opportunities for advancement, co-workers, and compensation. Interviews and focus groups further confirmed how participants projected personal significance onto these factors and how they interacted. The complexity of these interactions stemmed from personal perceptions and values participants placed on individual extrinsic factors and linked those values to other extrinsic factors. Consequently, other extrinsic factors took on perceptions of dissatisfaction based on the original factor. In addition, this research revealed several issues not previously reported in studies of rural teaching. First, "role confusion" emerged as a major source of job dissatisfaction for teachers who were either raised in the community or who had spent a considerable number of years in the community. These teachers often found themselves frustrated at work because of conflicting expectations and perceptions between their professional roles as teachers and their social roles in the community. Second, a high majority of teachers interviewed expressed dissatisfaction because they believed other teachers to have undue influence and power. However, interview data suggested that power was distributed properly but pervasive informal decision making processes led to the widespread perception of favoritism. In addition, teachers often exercised influence because no one opposed them. This study suggests that research to gain a better understanding of the sociology of rural communities needs to be conducted in rural education generally and specifically in rural teacher job satisfaction. Rural teachers' job satisfaction is complexly intertwined with a wide range of factors. Suggested uses for this study include an invitation for rural administrators and teachers to incorporate issues related to job satisfaction into their school improvement and professional development strategies. Addressing the factors influencing rural teacher job satisfaction, which have been previously overlooked, affords rural administrators a new opportunity to positively influence teacher retention, teacher quality, student achievement, and school climate.

I projektet har jag utformat ett bord för hemmet som man kan leva med hela livet och som enkelt kan anpassas utifrån olika människors behov, och förändras allt eftersom ens livssituation och behov förändras.  Bordet ska kännas värdefullt och få ett mervärde genom att laddas med personliga berättelser och vara något man vill behålla och bevara.   Samtidigt är bordet tänkt att vara en startpunkt för att få människor att börja reflektera över sina förhållningssätt till konsumtion och vilka värden som är viktiga i livet. I ett längre perspektiv  hoppas jag att detta kan minska den onödiga konsumtionen och bryta den slit- och slängmentalitet som råder i samhället. / In this project I designed a table for the home, that you can live with through the life. It can easily be adapted to different needs and change when the life situation and needs change. The table should feel useful and get added value by telling personal stories and be something you want to keep and preserve.   Meanwhile, the table intended to be a starting point to get people to start thinking about their approach to consumption, and which values that are important in their lives, and in the long run reduce the unnecessary consumption.
