West, John Peter. „Dryden and enthusiasm“. Thesis, University of Warwick, 2011. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/51566/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis interprets the work of John Dryden in the context of the cultural, political and religious controversy that surrounded the concept of "enthusiasm" in later seventeenth-century England. It argues that Dryden is a more "enthusiastic" writer than is commonly thought, both in terms of poetics and of epistemology. It examines the tensions inherent in this enthusiasm when it is placed in the context of contemporary anxieties surrounding religious dissent and the memories of mid-century radicalism. Chapter One explores how "fancy", commonly a cultural signifier for fanaticism, was important in the formulation of an idea of poetic enthusiasm in Dryden's early critical works. In seeking to represent things beyond nature, this model of enthusiasm was underpinned by a concern that marvellous fiction could be mistaken for truth. Chapter Two pursues these ideas into the period of Plot and Exclusion. Dryden responded to a changed political culture with a renewed prioritisation of judgement, but the chapter will show how he sought to retain some aspects of his "enthusiastic" style. Chapter Three discusses Dryden's use of the later seventeenth-century Pindaric ode, a form in which cultural debates about religious enthusiasm and poetic inspiration took place. Chapter Four investigates Dryden's understanding of providence in some of his late work and considers how the mysteries of the divine, that had previously been a source of literary inspiration, began to suggest suffering after the political losses of 1688. As well as positing a revised view of Dryden as an imaginative writer, then, this thesis suggests ways in which the relationship between politics and literature in the later seventeenth century was less oppositional and more a fluid process of contest for, and appropriation of, key ideas. It also outlines Dryden's place in a larger narrative of the development of poetic "enthusiasm" in the eighteenth century.

Boyles, Helen Margaret. „Wordsworth, Wesley, Hazlitt, and the embarrassment of enthusiasm“. Thesis, Open University, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.579803.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis addresses an area which has been neglected within the predominantly secular emphasis of post nineteenth-century Romantic scholarship: the impact of religious revivalism on literary Romanticism. It argues that the affective culture of Methodist evangelism actually anticipated literary Romanticism in its commitment to a religion and a language 'of the heart' . My study considers the stylistic and ideological affinity between some Methodist and 'Romantic' writing from the eighteenth to the early nineteenth- century, with specific reference to the culture of 'enthusiasm'. I explain how enthusiasm is identified with both religious and creative inspiration, but consider the problematic implications of this association. The problem is centred in enthusiasm's historical identification with religious fanaticism, and thus with subversive challenge and excess. My thesis discusses the acute embarrassment which this association generated for the Wesleyan Methodist leadership, and for some prominent Romantic writers. I consider how this embarrassment was manifested, within a literary context, in strenuous efforts to distinguish a respectable, genuine inspiration from its dangerous or spurious equivalent. I argue that the ambivalent feelings aroused by religious enthusiasm reflect a persistent discomfort with its plebeian and feminine associations. My study explores the various stylistic strategies employed by John and Charles Wesley, William Wordsworth and William Hazlitt, to distance themselves from vulgar and insincere religious zeal while remaining committed to the affective precepts which inspired their work and writing. This involves examining affinities in the literary theory and practice of John Wesley and Wordsworth, and Hazlitt's implicit distinction between 'gusto' and enthusiasm. I provide an analytical balance between the production and reception of key texts, including Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads and The Excursion. Close stylistic analysis demonstrates how the writers' language reveals contradictory allegiances to rational precepts and the ardent impulses of a 'religious' inspiration.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This PhD thesis considers the culture of technology enthusiasm, principally through an ethnographic study of three UK enthusiast groups: the Telecommunications Heritage Group, the Computer Conservation Society and the Greater London Industrial Archaeology Society. The thesis explores the various knowledges, performances and spaces associated with technology enthusiasm, focussing specifically on the relationships between enthusiasts, objects and museums, with particular reference to the collections of the Science Museum in London. This research is situated in the context of wider debates over museums, collections, conservation and access. Chapter 1 introduces technology enthusiasm as the subject of this thesis and highlights the relevant policy contexts. Chapter 2 provides an account of academic scholarship exploring the sociological literature on enthusiasm, fandom and serious leisure, recent work on technical and material cultures, as well as public history and museology. Chapter 3 explores the methodological strategy adopted in this thesis and reflects particularly on the researcher's encounters with enthusiasts and access to museums. Chapter 4 explores how technology enthusiasm is organised in groups, how societies communicate with their members through journals and online discussion forums and how an enthusiasm for technology is performed at group events. Chapter 5 examines the enthusiast's attachment to technology, the practices of collecting and hoarding, the place of technology enthusiasm in the field and at home and the afterlife of the enthusiast's personal collections. Chapter 6 considers the professional and the enthusiast in the museum context and explores their various relationships to technology's material record through ideas of expert knowledge and 'object love'. Finally, chapter 7 identifies the culture of enthusiasm and suggests future directions for research in this area.

When asked why he murdered a doctor who performed abortions, Paul Hill, a former Presbyterian minister from Florida, replied, "what I did was moral, and according to the highest legality ... God's law positively requires us to defend helpless people." (N.Y. Times, Sept. 24, 1995). How are the legal institutions of a liberal society to respond to such claims? How are they to pass judgement on those who profess allegiance to a higher law, without falling into the contradiction of merely asserting the authority to do so? My thesis seeks answers to these questions in the works of three philosophers and three Scottish writers, looking specifically at their encounters with that they described as religious 'enthusiasm' - the belief that one has been 'called' by God to enforce divine law over and against the laws of the state. The first three chapters of my dissertation compare the writings of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and David Hume on enthusiasm to their broader inquiries into the meaning of justice. All three philosophers recognize that enthusiasts base their authority on the claim that their words and deeds represent the will of God-a claim that cannot be 'proven' empirically. All three philosophers condemn enthusiasm for this appeal to the unknowable, to that which lies beyond perception and common experience. Yet only Hume is able to challenge enthusiasm without falling into self-contradiction because only he is able to offer a theory of justice that does not itself appeal to metaphysical, pre-linguistic sources of meaning. For Hume, language is an activity: to speak is to act upon the world and respond to its changing conditions. The meaning and validity of moral discourse, therefore, does not lie in what it represents but in what it does. By contrast, Hobbes and Locke are unable to break away from their own 'enthusiastic' belief that meaning is an 'essence' that is seen through language rather than created by language. The last three chapters of my thesis explore literary responses to religious enthusiasm, focusing on a series of novels about the Scottish Covenanters written in the early nineteenth century by Walter Scott, John Galt, and James Hogg.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
In contemporary Australian theatre there seems to be no precise, universally accepted methodology that defines the dramaturgical process. There is not even agreement as to how a playwright might benefit from dramaturgy. Nevertheless, those engaged in creating original works for the Australian professional theatre have, to varying degrees, come to accept dramaturgical process as something of a necessity. Increasingly, dramaturgical process is evident in the development of new plays by state, flagship and project-based professional theatre producers. Many small to medium theatre companies provide dramaturgical assistance to playwrights although this often occurs in an ad hoc fashion, prescribed by economic restraint rather than artistic sensibility. Through an exploration of the dramaturgical development of two of his plays in several professional play development contexts, the researcher examines issues influencing contemporary dramaturgy in Australia. These plays are presented here as examinable components (weighted 70%) of the research as a whole, and they function in symbiotic relationship with the exegetical enquiry (weighted 30%). The research also presents the findings of a small-scale experiment which tests the hypothesis that a holistic approach to developing new plays might challenge conventional views on dramaturgical process. In terms of its overall conclusions, this research finds that while many playwrights and theatre professionals in Australia consider dramaturgy a distinct and important component of the creative development process, there exist substantial inconsistencies in relation to facilitating dramaturgical models that provide quality artistic outcomes for playwrights and their plays. The study presents unique qualitative and quantitative data as a contribution to knowledge in this field of enquiry, and it is anticipated that the research as a whole will be of interest to a variety of readers, including playwrights, dramaturgs, other theatre practitioners, students and teachers.

This thesis explores the ways in which participation in the modified VW community can be understood as enthusiasm, as defined in recent human geography. The research focuses on the relations between the community and individual scale, the emotional experiences of enthusiasm and the roles played by spaces of enthusiasm. The empirical data which led this research inquiry was gathered using a mix-methods approach contextualised by autoethnographic fieldwork during 2014-15. The research finds particular importance in the collective community network of enthusiastic individuals; their social interactions and the role of these in exchanging knowledge, norms and social capital. The co-present interactions which afford the exchange of such knowledges take place in spaces across the culture. These spaces and the consequent norms therein unveil the behaviours and etiquettes of enthusiasts as evidenced in their experiences, performances and practices. This research shows that for enthusiasts the modified car can be understood as a socio-technical project; with connections shown between participating in enthusiast labour and strengthening community cohesion. In terms of automobility research; driving is found to be both an embodied experience and a performed display. This display is key to the transmission of norms and spatial inscription of certain spaces and motorscapes which enthusiast cars pass through. The implications of research findings make an original contribution to knowledge within the recent geographies of enthusiasm corpus by illustrating the importance of approaching enthusiast communities with a sensitivity to the collective scale community as influencing individual behaviours, practices and experiences. The main conceptual contribution of this research is the recommendation of a critical use of social capital theory alongside emotional geography to open up new avenues of research when working with communities within the geographies of enthusiasm.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Social relationships within the school and recognition of teachers' efforts are two main elements respondents say are crucial for their sense of career satisfaction. However, "satisfaction" is found to be a complex concept, and one which allows a deeper and more comprehensive conceptualizing of respondents' lives. While teachers may display a sense of "job comfort", in which they are generally comfortable with "satisfactory" work conditions, this proves to be a superficial expression of contentment. "Job fulfilment", on the other hand, describes a deeply satisfying relationship with the tasks they do, and the school environment generally: "job fulfilment" suggests an experience of a profound sense of comfort with the intrinsic rewards of their job. The research suggests there are important implications in terms of how intrinsic and extrinsic satisfiers work both in relation to the wider social structure, as well as within the school itself. My research recognized that respondents moved through four main career stages: the academic stage, the novitiate stage, the maturation stage and the mid-career stage. Each stage was marked with specific characteristics; teachers in each stage expressed different, though clearly related concerns. This research presents a clear linkage between the initial decision to teach, subsequent development of a commitment to teaching, and the concomitant desire to quit. The research examines the applicability to Oman of extant models of teacher career stages, developed in the Western literature, and considers where an Omani developmental model may agree with and where depart from these models. The overall findings illustrate the powerful role of socio-cultural forces on teachers' professional and personal development and, considering these, facilitate the discussion of issues of gender and job satisfaction within the teaching profession. Wider extrapolations from the data analysis may help generate further research on teachers, giving them the voices they need for their future development and empowerment.

'Enthusiasm' is claimed to be one of the most important ingredients of effective teaching. It is assumed in the studies that enthusiasm is a well-defined behavioural state which can be recognized and reproduced. However, at closer inspection the term becomes elusive and several ions arise: Is enthusiasm a universally valid category or does it bear cultural and individual differentiation? And does it always lead to good teaching? If not, which aspects are central? This study was designed using a hybrid qualitative method which consisted of a mixture of three different methods: multiple-case studies, in-depth interviews and classroom observations.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Screening is generally considered a useful strategy in the prevention of chronic diseases. The notion is that early detection through the use of certain screening tests can facilitate effective preventive measures to be undertaken which can then lead to improved prognosis from or ultimate avoidance of serious clinical diseases. The enthusiasm for screening in the United States is high and can be seen by the size of public demand for it. Rapid technological advances and knowledge expansion in the past decade have further facilitated the introduction of new tests and screening opportunities. In the mean time, the concept of screening has undergone subtle changes. Previous emphasis on clear and demonstrable population health benefits has been slowly replaced by an emphasis on individual responsibility for the surveillance of personal health risks. Disease screening is frequently advocated as part of a health promotion programme. As a clinician who has worked in breast cancer screening and who is wary of the complexities and problems associated with disease screening, my contention is that the enthusiasm for screening may not ultimately be conducive to health and well-being.
This thesis represents an effort to understand the popularity and enthusiasm for disease screening, how it has come about and, why it may not be conducive to health and well-being. The thesis begins with a description of the phenomenon to be followed by a detailed examination of the scientific principles behind disease screening. It then moves on to discover how the phenomenon might have come about by first considering the evolution of biomedicine over the centuries and then its present endeavour in the form of surveillance medicine as well as the latter�s relationship with today�s market economy. Using relevant case studies that involve, for example, cancer and prenatal genetic screening, this thesis explores different concerns relating to health and well-being, including such topics as the creation of health roles, the reconfiguration of human values and interpersonal relationships as well as medicalisation. A final chapter offers an account of health and well-being and sums up why the enthusiasm for screening may not be conducive to health and well-being.
The enthusiasm for screening compels people to assume health as a moral virtue. Screening is turned into a ritual that people consume to attain salvation. Since diseases may lead to death, diseases must be avoided though screening. Yet health is not just about the absence of disease. Health and well-being can only be realised by the individual within the context of the individual�s life as a whole. The institution of biomedicine has undeniable responsibility to ensure that screening will not be used to the detriment of individuals� health and well-being. Without condemning disease screening as a potentially useful tool in the prevention of disease, this thesis advocates prudence in its utilisation. People must not be compelled to attend screening through programmes of promotion (commercially related or not). Rather, autonomous decisions must be facilitated as far as possible through the provision of clear, accurate and factual information.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 401-413).
This is a story about technology, users, and music. It is about an approach to the design, manipulation, and arrangement of technologies in small-scale systems to achieve particular aesthetic goals - goals that are at once subjective and contingent. These goals emerge from enthusiasm for technology, for system-building, and for music among members of a community of users, and the promise of the emotional rewards derived from these elements in combination. It is a story about how enthusiasm and passion become practice, and how particular technologies, system-building activities, listening, debating, innovating, and interacting form that practice. Using both historical and ethnographic research methods, including fieldwork and oral history interviews, this dissertation is focused on how and why user communities mobilize around particular technologies and socio-technical systems. In particular, it concerns how users' aesthetic sensibilities and enthusiasm for technology can shape both technologies themselves and the processes of technological innovation. These issues are explored through a study of the small but enthusiastic high-end audio community in the United States. These users express needs, desires, and aesthetic motivations towards technology that set them apart from mainstream consumers, but also reveal important and under-recognized aspects of human relationships with technology more broadly. Covering the emergence and growth of high-end audio from the early 1970s to 2000, I trace some of the major technology transitions during this period and their associated social elements, including the shift from vacuum tube to solid-state electronics in the 1970s, and from analog vinyl records to digital compact discs in the 1980s. I show how this community came to understand technology, science, and their own social behavior through powerful emotional and aesthetic responses to music and the technologies used to reproduce music in the home. I further show how focusing on technology's users can recast assumptions about the ingredients and conditions necessary to foster technological innovation.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
'Enthusiasm' was a term widely used in early modern England as a pejorative to designate individuals who believed themselves to have direct communication with God. For historians the term has typically been examined as currency in polemical clashes. But this study will approach the subject from a much wider angle by investigating the tensions, in religion and politics, that the controversy over enthusiasm actually signified. It will do so by applying a framework consisting of three parts - authority, spirit, enthusiasm - and suggest that, between 1660 and 1714, one part cannot be understood without reference to the other two. As a study of ideas traced in printed literature and manuscripts, it will proceed by elucidating the various conceptions of piety that were carefully devised to meet two purposes. One, satisfying the basic obligations of Christianity, which entailed some measure of personal engagement with the holy spirit without seeming to be enthusiastic; and two, satisfying the obligations of political and ecclesiastical authority. Whereas the Anglican 'testimony of spirit' attested to the imperceptible influence of the holy spirit on one's virtue and tranquillity of mind, more radical Protestants felt it sensibly on the body, or clearly upon the emotions or thoughts, where it might even dictate divine orders, literally and directly. This study will consequently demonstrate the complexities of inward piety and the role it played in arguments for and against English institutions, how these points are related, and how attitudes to each of these varied along political and religious lines. Additionally it will illustrate their relevance for understanding contemporary attitudes to ecclesiology, conscience, spiritual substance, rational religion, the self, the will, resistance, prophecy, millenarianism, and tradition.

The study was designed to construct an instrument which could measure enthusiasm and caution in decision makers. A second purpose was to determine if instrument results could identify a decision maker's style as either enthusiastic or cautious.There were 688 instruments mailed to Superintendents of Indiana Public Schools. Superintendents selected school employees as participants. The 226 selectees who returned usable survey instruments constituted the study population.The first primary purpose of the study was to construct an instrument which could measure enthusiasm and caution in decision makers. Validity of the instrument as used to measure enthusiasm and caution in decision makers was; tested with confirmatory factor analysis. Findings revealed the instrument did validly measure both enthusiasm and caution in decision makers.The second primary purpose of the study was to determine if instrument results could identify a decision maker's style. Concurrent validity of the instrument as an identifier of a decision maker's style as either enthusiastic or cautious was tested with discriminatory analysis. Findings disclosed the instrument could identify at the .01 level which style decision makers had used.A secondary purpose of the study was to discover what has been reported regarding effects of enthusiasm or caution in decision makers. Scholarly sources were examined to locate reports regarding effects of enthusiasm or caution in decision makers. Each report found was assigned to a category representing various behaviors expected from either enthusiastic or cautious decision makers. Frequency counts were made for all sources in which reports were found, for all reports found, and for all categories to which reports had been assigned.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The story of the French Prophets has gone down as one of the greatest examples of religious enthusiasm in English religious history. It began in 1706 with the arrival in London of three inspired Camisards from Southern France and ended with the foundation of the Shakers in 1747. These Prophets claimed to be possessed by the Holy Spirit and announced the end of the world and Christ’s Second Coming to the local Huguenot community, but rapidly attracted a majority of English speaking followers. Their ecstatic trances and alleged supernatural powers caused a great controversy over the nature of enthusiasm in the ‘Age of Reason’. This thesis examines the significance of enthusiasm in the context of the Toleration Act of 1689 through the particular case of the French Prophets. It argues that enthusiasm meant much more than religious fanaticism in the eighteenth century and that it should be viewed in opposition to the Enlightenment. It takes an thematic approach to enthusiasm in order to reflect the multiple impacts the Prophets had on eighteenth-century England, with each chapter addressing the issue from a different perspective. Chapter one retraces their origins from Languedoc and covers the persecution and exodus of the Huguenots after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 and their arrival in England. The second chapter looks at the Camisards’ belief system and how they fitted in the English religious landscape. Chapter three analyses the social composition and organisation of the group, while the fourth chapter concentrates on their communication and the battle of pamphlets they created. The prosecution of radical dissenters in the post-Toleration era is then discussed in chapter five. Lastly, chapter six examines the medical debate on insanity and the growing perception of enthusiasm as an illness.

This thesis explores the potential for creating a composition syllabus that presents a model of good writing, is an enthusiastic invitation to the discipline, and provides a clear roadmap to success, not only for the course, but also for the students’ college career. This is especially useful for an increasingly diverse student community that arrives to college with a varying knowledge of the academic institution, with its specialized language and systems. The project explores the existing research on syllabus crafting, uses current composition studies and a survey of English 100 students to interrogate the rhetorical situation of the author’s own syllabus, and finally reflects upon a section-bysection revision of that syllabus. With a present and positive voice from the teacher that includes students in the process of their own learning, a dynamic composition syllabus can initiate trusting relationships in the classroom, and support greater success for the students.

Informal education environments like museums have become some of the most important educational resources. Although much attention has been paid to museum settings and programs, little is known about how museum educators support visitors’ learning and intrinsic motivation. In particular, there is a need to investigate museum educators’ enthusiasm, considering that enthusiasm is a powerful way of creating an engaging learning experience across various subjects and environments. In this study, I investigate museum educators’ enthusiasm as perceived by adult visitors through the lens of interest development. The results I found (N = 209) indicate a strong positive relationship between museum educators’ enthusiasm and visitors’ situational interest. Visitors’ reports of educators’ enthusiasm were directly related to catch interest (β = .74) and indirectly to hold interest (β = .46). In addition, educators’ enthusiasm mediated the connection between prior individual interest and catch interest. Visitors’ prior individual interest was also moderately related to both their catch (β = .28) and hold interest (β = .37). Limitations and directions for future studies are discussed.

The objective of this study was to examine the role that customer loyalty and employee enthusiasm can play as a strategic objective to increase sales at MB Silicon Systems. In order to address these two factors from a strategic perspective, elements from various concepts have been used to gain a new understanding of customer loyalty, employee enthusiasm and strategy. The final goal of the study was to use the knowledge gained throughout the report to propose a management framework which can be implemented to give MB Silicon Systems a competitive advantage in its competitive industry.The literature review suggested that a strategy of customer loyalty and employee enthusiasm will result in above average financial performance. Customer loyalty and employee enthusiasm cannot be separated from each other and they are linked by leadership, the vision and core values of the organisation. It is not possible to achieve customer loyalty and employee enthusiasm without the proper formulation and execution of a strategy. Such a strategy needs to utilize core management tools like the Balanced Scorecard which will bridge the vision of the organisation with goal setting mechanisms of motivation. The Balanced Scorecard will ensure that strategic objectives of the organisation will be mapped into the Balanced Scorecard while employees will be rewarded according to achieved targets of these objectives.Surveys which were conducted with customers and employees have shown that MB Silicon Systems performs below international standards with respect to customer loyalty and that the organisation is failing with its existing strategy. The surveys have also shown that employees are demotivated. This state of demotivation results in a lack of teamwork and mistrust between employees. The lack of teamwork and mistrust is only the symptoms of organisational problems which need to be resolved by organisational redesign, implementation of management principles and healthy corporate governance. The low base of loyal customers and the demotivated state of employees is resulting in below average financial performance.A management framework was recommended that will transform a strategy of customer loyalty and employee enthusiasm by using proven management tools. Implementation of the framework will ensure a competitive advantage to MB Silicon Systems which will result in above average financial performance.

In this work, we intend to present a philosophical analysis about Kant's relationship with Mysticism revisiting classic Kantian concepts that have an articulator function of this issue, namely, the distinction between a sensitive and intellectual intuition (intellectus archetypus) and their close but neglected relationship to the concept of archetype in Religion and typus in the second Critique, intuitive and symbolic knowledge and the anthropological concepts still almost unknown as the gift of divination and the faculty of prediction to forecast. We will also present the Kantian´s enthusiastic apology of sensibility and the subject of unconscious representations alsosubliminal in the first Critique. Finally we will conduct a more detailed analysis of Swedenborg´s case presenting a short diagnosis of Kant. Despite the apparent irrational nature of the subject, the philosopher thoroughly occupied this motiv or this philosophical problem that concerns on the fundamental philosophical question, deep and critical about the constitutive nature of what is usually and imprecisely called Mysticism. However, this designation seems to support a kind of subtle philosophical prejudice, that is, the apparently clear and disinterested objectivity in order to predispose the analysis of what would present itself as the "mystical experience"; as something already known, although attached to this, an anathema of insanity or at least something that is not philosophical, objetive. According to some scholars and highlighted textually by Kant himself, this relationship quite paradoxical, that is, Kant himself, considered one of the great exponents of German Aufklärung, a philosophical and spiritual phenomenon, found himself vacillating in their judgment. However, as we seek to show throughout this work, far from being uninteresting to Kant, the philosopher thoroughly occupied this topic, or even what we might call, this philosophical problem, which presents itself surreptitiously in his Critical Philosophy. As we will see throughout this work, according to scholars was precisely the struggle between Enthusiasmus and Schwärmerei that flourished German Aufklärung. From this conflictual relationship between objectivity and subjectivity, reason and faith,hypochondriac andmelancholic crisesand massive cases of suicides iswhere Kantian clash with Mysticismemerge, and it is in this context of dilemmas that Kant develops his Critical and Transcendental Philosophy. According to Baigorria (2014), The Schwärmerei phenomenon since Kant´s context was something controversial and devoid of a philosophical criterion purely objective and impartial, although originally was associated with religious fanaticism, and the clash between Luther and the Anabaptists, the Schwärmerei would have suffered numerous semantic and cultural changes. If we remember and reflect deeply about the scope of the four questions raised by Kant in his Logic, after and worthy hermeneutic review, an updated phenomenological of the ancient wisdom, we would understand why all these questions are referred to the last one, The Human, and therefore self-knowledge. Only then we will be willing to follow the exhortation exposed at the Delphic temple´s porch: "If you cannot find within yourSelf what you are searching for, nor you will find out. Man, know thySelf and you will know the Universe and the Gods!".
Neste trabalho, pretendemos apresentar uma análise filosófica acerca da relação de Kant com o Misticismo revisitando conceitos clássicos kantianos que possuem uma função articuladora desta temática, a saber, a distinção entre uma intuição sensível e intelectual (intellectus archetypus) e sua relação íntima, porém negligenciada com o conceito de arquétipo na Religião e typus na segunda Crítica, o conhecimento intuitivo e simbólico, bem como conceitos antropológicos ainda quase desconhecidos como o dom divinatório e a faculdade de previsão, etc. Apresentaremos também a entusiástica apologia kantiana da sensibilidade e o tema das representações inconscientes também subliminares na primeira Crítica. Finalmente iremos realizar uma análise mais detalhada do caso Swedenborg apresentando um diagnóstico de Kant. Apesar da aparente natureza irracional do assunto, o filósofo se ocupou exaustivamente deste problema filosófico que se refere à questão filosófica primordial, profunda e crítica acerca da natureza constitutiva do que se convenciona chamar de Misticismo. No entanto, esta designação parece favorecer a uma espécie de preconceito filosófico sutil, ou seja, com a aparência de uma objetividade evidente e desinteressada de modo a predispor a análise disso que viria a se apresentar como a “experiência mística” como algo já conhecido, embora anexado a esta, um anátema de insanidade ou, no mínimo, de algo que não é filosófico, objetivo. Segundo alguns estudiosos e evidenciada textualmente pelo próprio Kant, tal relação é um tanto quanto paradoxal, ou seja, o próprio Kant, considerado como um dos grandes expoentes do Aufklärung alemã, diante de tal fenômeno filosófico e espiritual, se viu vacilante quanto aos seus juízos. No entanto, como buscamos mostrar ao longo deste trabalho, longe de ser desinteressante para Kant, o filósofo se ocupou exaustivamente deste tema, ou até mesmo, o que poderíamos chamar, deste problema filosófico, o qual se apresenta sub-repticiamente em sua Filosofia Crítica. Como veremos ao longo deste trabalho, segundo estudiosos foi justamente no embate entre o Enthusiasmus e a Schwärmereique que floresceu a Aufklärung alemã. A partir dessa conflituosa relação entre objetividade e subjetividade, razão e fé, acessos hipocondríacos, crises melancólicas e massivos casos de suicídios é que surge o embate kantiano com fenômeno do Misticismo, e é neste contexto de dilemas que Kant desenvolve sua Filosofia Crítica e Transcendental. O fenômeno da Schwärmerei já na época de Kant era algo controverso e desprovido de um critério filosófico puramente objetivo e imparcial, segundo Baigorria (2014), embora originalmente estivesse associado ao fanatismo religioso, e ao embate de Lutero com o Anabatistas, a Schwärmerei teria sofrido inúmeras modificações semântico-culturais. Se recordarmos e refletirmos profundamente acerca do escopo das quatro questões apresentadas por Kant em sua Lógica, após uma revisão hermenêutica e fenomenológica atualizada e digna da sabedoria dos antigos, entenderemos o motivo pelo qual todas elas se referem ao Homem, e, portanto ao autoconhecimento. Só assim estaremos dispostos a seguir a exortação exposta no pórtico do templo de Delfos: “Se não podes encontrar dentro de ti mesmo o que buscas, tampouco encontrarás fora. Oh Homem, conheça a ti mesmo e conhecerás o Universo e os Deuses! ”.

This thesis considers pupils attitudes, teachers (and pupils ) creativity and teacher well-being. These three terms represent factors that are closely linked and have a synergistic relationship in determining learning outcomes. Research concerning these factors, and in particular the findings of action research concerning teachers well-being, are presented through eleven publications. This thesis, when viewed as a single piece of work, provides an insight into teachers everyday experiences, professional lives and their responsibilities. It utilises several research methods including questionnaires (approx. 200 teachers; 150 pupils), interviews (approx. 50 trainee teachers), and diaries (N = 2). The key findings suggest that more clarity is required concerning the meaning of creativity for all primary and secondary teachers and how it should be embedded in teachers practice. A safe classroom, one where a child can make mistakes, take risks and share their thoughts and feelings, is necessary for this to occur; teachers understanding of this concept is considerable and broadly based; however, results suggest that teachers approach this in different ways. Trainee teachers well-being is affected by their school placements and therefore time for them to learn and share with their peers was found to be both necessary and important. It was also found that the trainee teachers benefited from being taught about time-management as this skill was beneficial for their role. An intervention of a 90 minute lecture addressing stress, time-management, psychology models such as Maslow s hierarchy of needs and Rogers core conditions, was researched and proven helpful for trainee teachers (primary and secondary science). However, more discussion of the topics and models was required and therefore three workshops per academic year were trialled with the aim of creating a community of practice to normalise experiences. Questionnaire and interview data were highly positive about this intervention and evaluation of the content showed it was beneficial during school placements. The conclusion of this work is that creative pedagogy and a teacher s well-being are related: if we want our teachers to be creative practitioners in the classroom, we need to ensure that they are well in themselves. Although this conclusion is from a small case study, it could be generalizable to other teacher training courses and a crucial area for those working in teacher education to consider. Supporting and training trainee teachers in how to manage their professional lives so they are equipped personally and emotionally is reported in the findings as necessary for the profession.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Thesis advisor: Harold PetersenMinsky developed a Financial Instability Hypothesis which sought to find an endogenous explanation for a modern economy’s vulnerability to crashes. Specifically, he investigated the ways in which the financial structures of a modern economy might contribute to its instability. The hypothesis rests upon the twin assertions that some financial arrangements are more dangerous than others, and that during economic booms, investors’ incentives are altered to favor these more dangerous arrangements. Essentially, in good times, the profit-seeking motive of investors overrides a diminished risk aversion, as memories of losses fade into the past. This paper empirically tests Minsky’s second assertion, by using econometric techniques to analyze the relationship between risk appetite and market returns. Spreads between the yields of bonds of different credit qualities are used as a proxy for wider investor sentiment toward risk. Regressions demonstrate that changes in risk appetite can be explained at least in part by historical market returns. Such a finding supports Minsky’s proposal that incentives of investors change in response to varying market conditions. It further implies that regulatory authorities might examine the level of risk appetite to determine whether increases in asset prices indicate the formation of speculative bubbles or are rather reflecting developments in the fundamentals underlying said assets

The use of peer facilitators is considered to be an effective method used in various settings, both educational and other forms of support and therapy groups. Though there is an extensive amount of research using peer facilitators, there is a minimal amount describing the effects that these various groups have on the facilitators themselves. Teacher enthusiasm has been researched and proven to be an important and effective tool when enhancing the learning experience and knowledge outcomes of students. The Team Up for Healthy Living program is a grant funded program utilizing peer facilitators in an attempt to educate high school students on obesity prevention. The purpose of this thesis is to review the impact of teacher enthusiasm in the classroom, assess the impact of enthusiasm of the teachers over one peer facilitator during the Team Up for Healthy Living program on the facilitator herself, how the students responded, and how this could be applied to creating a more effective teaching environment. This was completed through analysis of prior literature review, as well as personal experience and journal keeping during the intervention.

Resumo: Este trabalho tem o objetivo de demonstrar que para adquirir a "excelência" (aretê), segundo Platão (427-347 a.C.), é necessário combinar a técnica (tekhnê) e o entusiasmo (enthoysiasmos). Possuir e utilizar somente a técnica ou somente o entusiasmo evidencia o domínio de um método insuficiente para alcançar a "excelência". Isto porque, mesmo que se entenda o entusiasmo como "um deus trabalhando dentro de um homem" e agindo em favor de um indivíduo em seus esforços por "excelência", per se é algo apenas potencial, virtual, que auxilia a potencialização, a existência real e plena da "excelência". Neste sentido, a técnica é necessária por ser a força que impele o executar de qualquer tipo de atividade com precisão, com conhecimento e regularmente, uma vez que é condição sine qua non tanto para um comportamento autônomo, bem como para a boa aprendizagem e execução de qualquer tarefa. Por fim, a nossa devida compreensão desse processo, a saber, conjunção adequada da "técnica" e do "entusiasmo" erigindo a "excelência", será construída através do estudo dos diálogos Sofista, Mênon, Fedro, Banquete, Cármides, Filebo, Íon, Fédon, Protágoras, Górgias, Timeu, República de Platão, fundamentais ao exercício que nos propomos
Abstract: This work aims to demonstrate that to acquire "excellence" (aretê), according to Plato (427-347 BC), it is necessary to combine both technique (tekhnê) and enthusiasm (enthoysiasmos). Having and using only the technique or just the enthusiasm makes evident the mastery of an insufficient method for achieving "excellence". This is because, even if you understand the enthusiasm as "a god working inside of a man" and acting on behalf of an individual in their efforts to "excellence", per se it is only volitional act by itself is something only potential, virtual, which helps potentiation, the actual existence and complete of "excellence". In this sense, the technique is needed once it is the force that impels to performance of any kind of activity accurately, with knowledge and regularly, since it is conditio sine qua non for either an autonomous behavior and, for good learning and execution any task. Finally, our proper understanding of this process, namely, the proper conjunction of "technique" and "enthusiasm" and thus establishing "excellence", will be constructed through the study of the dialogues, Sophist, Meno, Phaedrus, Symposium, Charmides, Philebus, Ion, Phaedo, Protagoras, Gorgias, Timaeus, Plato¿s Republic, fundamental to the exercise that we undertake

Previous issue date: 2013-08-29This exegetical study aims to analyze the phenomenon of prophecy and glossolalia in early Christianity from the First Letter to the Corinthians. For this, we review a few discussions about exegetical text. The Christian movement emerged as a Jewish sect, but matured in the Greco-Roman environment, being deeply affected by Western culture and traditions. On the one hand, suffered the influences of ancient Israelite traditions and Judaism of the Second Temple, and on the other, suffered the influences of Greco-Roman traditions, although to a lesser degree. Thus, this research shows that the prophecy and glossolalia in 1st Corinthians are ecstatic phenomena, in which context is the nearest Jewish apocalyptic mysticism.
O presente estudo exegético tem por objetivo analisar o fenômeno da profecia e da glossolalia no cristianismo primitivo a partir da Primeira Carta aos Coríntios. Para tanto, revisa-se algumas discussões exegéticas acerca do texto. O movimento cristão emergiu como uma seita judaica, mas amadureceu em um contexto greco-romano, sendo profundamente impactado pela cultura e tradições ocidentais. Por um lado, sofreu as influências das tradições israelitas antigas e do Judaísmo do Segundo Templo, e por outro, sofreu as influências das tradições greco-romanas, embora em menor grau. Com isso, esta pesquisa mostra que a profecia e a glossolalia em 1° Coríntios são fenômenos extáticos, no qual seu contexto mais próximo é o misticismo apocalíptico judaico.

This research discusses how to motive and retain employees in China based on analyzing factors influencing employee enthusiasm and strategies to motivate employees under the framework of Herzberg’s two-factor theory. With the proposition that hygiene factors and motivators both influence the work enthusiasm, 15 interviews were arranged to collect the needed data for further analysis. According to the information obtained from the 15 interviewees from P&G, hygiene factors and motivators all exert influences over their work behaviors and the impact of the factors differs according to the different conditions of the employees. The findings of this research generally agree with the two-factor theory. Based on how the work enthusiasm of P&G’s employees are influenced by each of the factors, strategies are correspondingly formulated to motivate employees at work. Generally speaking, this research is significant for being conducted from a microscopic perspective to the macroscopic perspective. In other words, a specific organization is studied to figure out the answers to the research questions and the findings can be used for future studies as well for practical purposes. More specifically, when conducting this study, such factors as unsatisfying wages and benefits, heavy workload, task conflicts, ambiguous duties, interpersonal conflicts and ineffective management system, etc., all discourage the enthusiasm of employees. In response to that, a reasonable management system and sound motivational mechanism should be established to keep employees active at work or retain those who want to resign.

La situation de l'homme dans le monde pose l'interrogation fondamentale de l'émotion en rapport à la rationalité, Cette position dichotomique opère une transformation, positive ou négative, de l'action humaine dans l'histoire. Cependant, les sentiments sont un océan de tonalités affective variées, propres à la condition humaine de la sensibilité, ce qui place l'affectivité au coeur de l'existant. Ainsi, I'affectivité se traduit par un senti du corps, un processus psychosomatique,plongeant l'individu dans un désir d'être, pour une recherche du bonheur, dans un souci de paix de l'âme et corps. Or, aujourd'hui, ce désir d'être n'est plus un désir, un enthousiasme pour l'effort spirituel, vers la sagesse et la paix entre les hommes comme projet de réalisation ; la fin de l'homme devient le bonheur comme recherche du plaisir et contentement de soiThe situation of man in the world raises the fundamental issue of the rapport between feeling and rationality, a dichotomy which transforms human action in history in positive or negative ways. However, the fact that feelings encompass a wide spectrum of emotional hues inherent to the human condition places affectivity at the core of reality. As affectivity manifets itself in the body as a psychosomatic experience, so it immerses the individual in a wish for being, in a search for hapiness and a desire for peace of mind and body. Yet in modern times, this desire to be no longer becomes a desire or enthusiasm for spiritual effort nor a striving toward wisdom and peace between men as a project for historical realisation; instead, the aim of mankind has become hapiness as the pursuit of pleasure and self-satisfaction

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Previous research of the theory of Affective Intelligence holds that anxiety in individuals causes learning behavior. If people are anxious they will actively seek new information. This new information gathered while anxious will cause each individual person to cease acting habitually and begin acting in a manner in line with rational choice models. This thesis addresses three hypotheses; (1) that people who feel anxiety engage in greater information seeking behavior and (2) when people feel anxious they will use information sources that are readily available and efficient to use and (3) anxious individuals will turnout to vote more often than those who are not anxious. I began with the replication of the original research methods of Marcus and MacKuen (1993) and Marcus, Neuman and MacKuen (2000). I then tested hypothesis 1 using new measurements of anxiety in order to address the concerns originally posited by Ladd and Lenz (2008) and Valentino et al. (2008). My final test of hypothesis 1 used revised measurements of anxiety and information derived from 2000-2002 NES Panel data, much in the same manner as Marcus, Neuman and MacKuen (2000). I then tested hypothesis 2 using the same 2000-2002 NES Panel data and an information source change variable. I tested my final hypothesis using pooled NES data from 1984, 1988 and 2000. My findings suggest that as Affective Intelligence predicts, people who feel anxious do tend to seek information. Moreover, when anxious, people will use readily available and efficient information sources. My final finding suggests that although people tend to seek information when anxious this does not necessarily translate into greater participation. Finally, I conclude that the theory of Affective Intelligence is generally correct, but, further research using methods that can better demonstrate the causal direction needs to be undertaken to fully validate Affective Intelligence and more testing of the effect of anxiety on political participation is necessary.

This is an investigation of the enthusiasm, scenes and cultural industry of contemporary modified-car culture in Australia, based on fieldwork research with an online-based car club – where I participated as an enthusiast – and archival research of 30 years of enthusiast magazines and other texts. I develop a post-Kantian event-based conception of enthusiasm by drawing on the previous scholarship on modified-car culture read through post-structuralist theories of the ‘event’ and ‘affect’. The oeuvre of Gilles Deleuze is a key theoretical influence on this work, which also draws on the historical method and philosophy of Michel Foucault, the practical social theory of Pierre Bourdieu, and develops Theodor Adorno’s work on the cultural industry by examining its biopolitical dimension. Enthusiasm is often thought of as a charismatic relation between the enthusiast subject and the enthusiast object modified cars. But here, enthusiasm is understood as the event of a multiplicity of affects that exists on transversal scales from the personal to the scene and beyond. I argue that the charismatic relation of enthusiasm is a reduction that enables the enthusiasm of a given scene to become a resource for cultural industries servicing that scene. The event of enthusiasm is defined by the affects that circulate across bodies and which are actualised in the capacities of enthusiasts, the objects engaged with, and practices performed. The scene is defined by the character of the cultural events which populate it and the enthusiasts who participate in the events. The cultural events include cruising, working on cars, racing, showing, and consuming or participating in the enthusiast media. I draw on my fieldwork to examine the affective composition of some of these events. Transformations to the cultural identity of scenes and enthusiasms correlate with broader social changes exemplified by the processes of globalisation. The event of enthusiasm is repeated in different ways that make connections between the scales of the subjectively experienced affects of cultural events to the global-level transformations of the automotive industry and scene. The cultural industries and social institutions enable the enthusiasm by investing in the infrastructure of the scene and facilitating the existence of cultural events through sponsorship or practical support. Archival research on enthusiast magazines allows me to map the transformations to the composition of power relations (dispositif) between the state (governmental regulatory bodies), social institutions (online and offline car clubs, and federations), enthusiast cultural industries (magazines, event promoters, and later importers) and different populations of enthusiasts (from interested public to highly skilled and devoted enthusiasts). The periods roughly delineated include the militancy of street rodding era (the 1970s), the spectacle of street machining era (1980s through to the present), and the immanent online-sociality of the import era (mid-1990s through to the present). The power relations of the three eras of contemporary modified-car culture in Australia are contrasted and I argue that the current dominant set of relations involve spectacular cultural events. In the context of 1980s street machining, I examine the way elite level vehicles built by highly skilled enthusiasts following spectacular head turning styles of modification are used by event promoters and magazines to collectively individuate a population of the interested public. The ‘head turner’ is a singularity that organises the social spaces of the street and car shows and the discursive space of magazines. I argue that the emergent synergistic relation between magazines and event promoters is organised around the capacity of ‘head turners’ to mediate relations between different populations of enthusiasts so that enthusiasm is reduced to a charismatic relation and cultural events become spectacular.

Undervisningen som till störst del bedrivs i Sverige idag är arbete i matematikläroboken. Forskning visar att eleverna inte upplever att detta arbetssätt är motiverande eller meningsfullt. Problemlösning har i tidigare forskning visat öka elevernas motivation. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur problemlösning kan påverka motivationen hos elever i årskurs 6. Studien undersöker även hur eleverna upplever undervisningen, både genom arbete i läroboken och problemlösning, och hur interaktionen ser ut i klassrummet under de olika arbetssätten. Resultatet visar att eleverna upplevde arbete med problemlösning i grupper som positivt. De uttrycker även att det är mer givande att få arbeta med mer omfattande uppgifter som ger utmaning än att sitta och räkna massa tal i läroboken. Under arbetet med problemlösning pratade eleverna mer med varandra om matematik, och använde relevanta begrepp, jämfört med arbetet i läroboken då de framför allt pratade med läraren när de behövde hjälp. En slutsats som kan dras från denna undersökning är att det är positivt att arbeta med problemlösning då det upplevs roligare och mer motiverande, men undervisningen behöver fortfarande varieras för att nå alla typer av elever.The mathematics textbook is dominating the teaching in Swedish schools today. Studies show that students don’t experience this as motivating or meaningful. Recent research has shown that problem solving could increase students’ motivation. The aim of this study is to examine how problem solving affects motivation in 6th grade students. The study also examine how students experience the teaching, both through work in the textbook and with problem solving, and how the interaction appears in the classroom during the different ways of working. The result shows that the students experienced problem solving in groups as positive. They expressed that it is more rewarding to work with more comprehensive tasks that is challenging than calculating in the textbook. During the work with problem solving the students talked more to each other about mathematics and used relevant terms. When they worked with the textbook they mostly talked to the teacher when they needed help. One conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that it is positive to work with problem solving as it is perceived more fun and therefore more motivating, but education still needs to be varied to reach all types of learners.

Debating Cannae: Delbrück, Schlieffen, and the Great War provides the reader a view of the historical struggle between Alfred von Schlieffen and Hans Delbrück. They argued fiercely about the foundation of the German Empire and the use of history. The first chapter provides the context of the foundation of the German empire. The second chapter explores the debates between Schlieffen and Delbrück by investigating their writings. The third chapter surveys the effect that the Delbrück and Schlieffen culture war had upon the First World War. This work expands the current view of Schlieffen by demonstrating his commitment to his interpretation of history. The reader will gain an appreciation for the impact of the historical struggle between these two historians. Delbrück believed that nationalism needed to be controlled through objectivity and a contextual understanding; in contrast, Schlieffen believed that nationalism needed to direct one’s historical research as well as one’s life.

While it is widely accepted that people travel not for the sake of travel, but in order to do various things, the relationship between travel and everyday practices is not well understood. My research project investigates the underexplored and dynamic relationship between everyday practice and travel, focusing in particular upon how the multiple mobilities of people, objects, images and skills condition and constrain performances of practices. In this work, I incorporate and extend concepts from theories of practice (Schatzki, Bourdieu, Reckwitz, Shove), the new mobilities paradigm (Sheller and Urry), anthropology (Ingold) and time-geography (Hagerstrand). Drawing upon semi-structured qualitative interviews and participant observation of bird watching and patchwork quilting, as well as literature on leisure walking and Ashtanga yoga, I explore the interactions between situated performances of leisure and the circulation of the elements that-make up each practice, showing for instance how the objects of leisure change participants' networked travelling. In addition to offering compelling proof of how people do not independently choose, but are rather compelled to travel. this thesis demonstrates how travel is the collective product of people and practices. and confirms the importance of relational arid practice-specific understandings of travel. By theorizing travel as not only general movement through objective space, but also networked circulations of practice-specific elements, this research provides concepts and approaches that can be taken up in the future to re-frame the challenges of curbing unsustainable travel and widening participation in socially desirable practices.

For teachers and educators, developing students’ interest in the classroom has been a primary concern. Relatedly, for decades educational researchers have explored the construct of interest and the factors that influence students’ interest. However, despite the importance given to context to interest development in these theoretical descriptions, less attention has been paid to understanding teacher and classmate characteristics as contextual factors that may influence, positively and negatively, students’ interest. Therefore, with the goal of exploring the role of the teacher and classmates in students’ interest in a course throughout a semester, this study explored mediator effects of students’ perceptions of teacher enthusiasm and of peer enthusiasm on the relation between their initial interest and their situational interest at the end of the semester. Also, students’ motivation for affiliation with their teacher and with peers was added to investigate associations between these student variables and their perceptions of teacher and peer enthusiasm.
Data were collected in 12 different classes with different instructors. In total, 455 students participated in the study, by filling out surveys at the beginning and end of the semester. For the main analysis, a path analysis was used in order to explore the relationships among initial interest, background knowledge, perceptions of teacher enthusiasm, perceptions of peer enthusiasm, motivation for affiliation with the teacher, motivation for affiliation with peers, and the situational interest variables of “hold interest” and “catch interest” at the end of the semester. Results indicated that the relationships between initial interest and “hold” as well as “catch” interest were mediated by perceptions of peer enthusiasm but not teacher enthusiasm. Also, perceptions of teacher enthusiasm and of peer enthusiasm had direct effects on “hold” interest as well as “catch” interest. Also, students’ affiliative motivation with the teacher and peers had direct effects on their perceptions of teacher and peer enthusiasm.
Overall, this study makes a contribution to an appreciation for the importance of contextual factors as well as students’ own individual variables to understanding the mechanisms by which students’ interest in a course develops and is maintained throughout the semester.text

The main purpose of this paper was to understand teacher enthusiasm, influential factors of teacher enthusiasm, and development trend of teacher enthusiasm of physical education teachers in the elementary school. This study chose gender, professional background, the highest educational degree, teaching grade, the hours of participating conference, further education, and participating sport teams training as the background variables to understand the differences betweens those teacher’s background variables in these three sides, and the canonical correlation betweens teacher enthusiasm and influential factors. The participants of this paper included teachers of the elementary schools in these districts of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu. It adopted self-developed questionnaire as the measure tool. Both stratified random sampling and cluster sampling were used to sample 1000 teachers in the above four districts. Finally, the 877 questionnaires (87.7%) were validly returned. The data was analyzed by statistic methods of ANOVA, canonical correlation, and trend analysis. The results of this paper were as follows: 1. In terms of teacher enthusiasm, it was above moderate degree and teachers’ background variables resulted in significant difference except for variables of teaching grade. 2. In terms of influential factors of teacher enthusiasm, it was above moderate degree and teachers’ background variables resulted in significant difference except for variables of teaching grade. 3. In terms of the correlation betweens teacher enthusiasm and influential factors, the result indicated that there were positive correlation and three canonical factors existence betweens teacher enthusiasm and influential factors, and these three canonical factors can explain 43.70% total variance. 4. In terms of development trend of teacher enthusiasm, it showed slow down trend and all teachers’ background variables resulted in significant difference except for variables of gender. Finally, based on the results of this study, researcher provided some commendations in the physical education learning fields as the references for future study.

This study explores the enforcement enthusiasm, enforcement stress, and referee job burnout of various levels of domestic basketball referees. Research variables include different gender, age, referee level, and years of refereeing experience. Research subjects are international referees in Taiwan, national A level referee, national B level referee, and national C level referees. This study used questionnaire surveys and distributed 140 questionnaires. Overall, 135 questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 96％. Independent-samples t test, ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation were used to verify data. The results of this study showed the following conclusions. Gender of referees did not influence their work burnout. High stress and low enthusiasm influenced referee work burnout. High enthusiasm and low stress reduced work burnout of referees. The higher the level of the referee, the lower the referee’s work burnout, and vice versa. Based on the research conclusion, this study recommends that the cultivation of basketball referees increase the number of games referees participate in and strengthen their abilities, in addition to current regulations on upgrading to a higher level qualifications ( years of experience, physical endurance, written examination, and on-site refereeing basic conditions). During level (grade) upgrading of basketball referees, the examination should improve their stress resistance and reduce their burnout. Refereeing experience can be shared during this period supplemented by on-site guidance from senior referees. This can strengthen refereeing ability and increase their enforcement confidence. Consequently, work enthusiasm of referees can be increased and stress and work burnout reduced, which enables referees to concentrate on enforcing basketball competitions.

This research is based on exploring the concepts and enthusiasm of hospitality employees. In order to receive an initial understanding of the basic enthusiasms and connotations of the current hospitality industry and to analyse hospitality employee’s enthusiasm motives and behaviours as well as the influence upon the company and on the individual, a series of in-depth interviews with hospitality managers and consumers will be conducted with the aid of information provided by books and documentations. This research discovers: 1. Regarding to the comprehension of service enthusiasm, it is respectively seen as: “the enjoyment of work”, “beyond the customer’s expectation”, “as though bacteria’s reproduction rate”, “persistence and insistence”, and “seen as a hobby”. Moreover, as long as staffs are more willing to produce extra information and show more care, the customers would be satisfied. 2. Regarding to service enthusiasm characteristics: “motivated and passionate”, “high sensitivity”, “obliging”, “expression of smiles”, “high self expectation”, and “vigorous extrovert”. Furthermore, in a portion of managers’ comprehension, “optimism” is an important aspect that should be possessed by servicing employees. In consumer’s comprehension, servicing employees not only must have communication skills but also have the ability to listen and have the quality of self-confidence. 3. Regarding to service enthusiasm behaviour expression: it is “helping customers to reach their goal” and “standing in the customers’ shoe”. In the manager’s understanding, it is also important to express their service enthusiasm when facing work associates. 4. The cause of enthusiasm motives are “the pursue of the feeling of achievement”, “receiving affirmation from manager or customers”, “finding greater goals” and “expectation of the company” respectively. Besides, from a consumer’s perspective it is discovered that some employees wish to share what they like with the customers. 5. Employees with service enthusiasm and passion have influence on the company both positively and negatively. However, it has positive effects regarding to the employee themselves.

abstract: Over the past forty years the nonprofit sector has experienced a steady rise in the professionalization of its employees and its operations. Some have argued that this trend is in large part a reaction to the requirements foisted upon the nonprofit sector through the passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1969. While some scholars have detailed a number of unintended consequences that have resulted from this trend toward professionalization, in general scholars and practitioners have accepted it as a necessary step along the path toward ensuring that service is administered in an accountable and responsible manner. I analyze the contemporary trend in professionalization of the nonprofit sector from a different angle--one which seeks to determine how the nonprofit sector came to problematize the nature of its service beginning in the early twentieth century, as well as the consequences of doing so, rather than reinforce the existing normative arguments. To this end, I employ an "analytics of government" from an ethical and political perspective which is informed by Michel Foucault's conception of genealogy, as well as his work on governing rationalities, in order to reveal the historical and political forces that contribute to the nonprofit sector's professionalization and that shape its current processes, institutions, and norms. I ultimately argue that these forces serve to reinforce a broad movement away from the charitable impulse that motivates individuals to engage in personal acts of compassion and toward a philanthropic enterprise by which knowledge is rationally applied toward reforming society rather than aiding individuals. This movement toward institutional philanthropy and away from individual charity supplants the needs of the individual with the needs of the organization. I then apply this analysis to propose an alternate governing model for the nonprofit sector--one that draws on Foucault's exploration of ancient writings on love, self-knowledge, and governance--in order to locate a space for the individual in nonprofit life.Dissertation/Thesis

The study is aim to explore the effect of exercise training among mood, passion and optimistic and the main purpose is: to compare the difference of before and after dynamic exercise and static exercise among mood, passion and optimistic. The participants are adult female that recruit from an export processing zone in south, totally 114 volunteers and mean age is 41.35 (SD=8.53). Randomly separate participants into dynamic exercise group, static exercise group and control group and training for ten weeks. The participants fill mood, passion and optimistic scale in the beginning (first week) and the end (tenth week) and collect the data to perform t test and 2 (dynamic static exercise) x 2 (before and after training) ANOVA analysis. The result show: the score of dynamic group in mood, passion and optimistic after training is significant higher than before training, the score of dynamic group after training is significant higher than static group. Mood and passion scores in the dynamic group and static group and the interaction of before and after training are appeared significant. The post hoc shows: the dynamic group score is significant higher than static group either before or after training. The conclusion point that: the dynamic exercise has better effect than static exercise in change mood, pass and optimistic. Suggested: if want to improve mental health through exercise, the study is suggested to choose whole body and continual aerobics exercises.
