Full textAbstract:
We have investigated organizations we consider having an elitist approach. Wehave researched how these approaches are manifested, managed, and what pros and cons that the approach can result in. Common consequences of an elitist approach include high perfor-mance and efficiency, but also high levels of stress and anxiety among employees. The organ-izations we chose for the study were a sales company and a consulting firm. The concept of elitist approach is broken down into three elements: achievement, culture and legitimacy. We made our own model of how the three components relate to each other and how so-called chan-nels, give power to the different components. The different channels are ambition, status, hier-archy and competition. During the study we encountered that in order to counteract the negative effects associated with an elitist approach, the organizations was using a compassionate culturewhich was surprising for the author group.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the Foreign Architectural Book Society [F.A.B.S.] and its members from its foundation in 1859 through to the 1930s. Particular attention is given to the second generation of F.A.B.S. members, active between 1890 and 1920, who shared scholarly interests apparent in the architectural values they promoted in publications and their own buildings. In this period these F.A.B.S. members also occupied positions of power within the profession and influenced their contemporaries by encoding Beaux-Arts values in a reformed architectural education system. These developments are analysed using certain aspects of elite theory: this highlights the protectionist aspects of this education system and explains the survival into the 1930s of architectural values promoted by F.A.B.S. members. The F.A.B.S. was founded with the intention of internally circulating foreign architectural books and this study examines how the society operated. The functioning of the F.A.B.S. is analysed in relation to other societies its members joined, establishing their high social standing and a network of scholarly organisations through which architectural values were formed. An analysis of publications and buildings by the second generation of F.A.B.S. members reveals the fact that they promoted two architectural styles, Neo-Wrenaissance and Monumental Classicism. It is argued that Wren's influence was central to the formation of the values embodied in these styles. In the case of the Neo- Wrenaissance it is shown that this is a more appropriate term to describe works usually noted as examples of Neo-Georgian architecture. When examining Monumental Classicism it is noted that F.A.B.S. members used Beaux-Arts compositional devices, as encoded in architectural education, but promoted it as a national style by invoking the example of Wren. In conclusion it was argued that F.A.B.S. members encoded these stylistic values in the reformed architectural education system and this partially explains how the outmoded values of the Neo-Wrenaissance and Monumental Classicism managed to survive as valid stylistic options until the end of the 1930s.

Full textAbstract:
For over two decades the issue of East Timor's right to self-determination has been a prickly issue in Australian foreign policy. The invasion by Indonesian forces in 1975 was expected, as Australian policy-makers had been well informed of the events leading up to the punitive action being taken. Indeed, prior discussions involving the future of the territory were held between the Australian Prime Minister and the Indonesian President in 1974. In response to the events unfolding in the territory the Australian Labor Government at the time was presented with two policy options for dealing with the issue. The Department of Defence recommended the recognition of an independent East Timor; whereas the Department of Foreign Affairs proposed that Australia disengage itself as far as possible from the issue. The decision had ramifications for future policy considerations especially with changes in government. With the Department of Foreign Affairs option being the prevailing policy what were the essential ingredients that give explanation for the government's choice?
It is important to note the existence of the continuity and cyclical nature of attitudes by Labor governments toward Indonesia before and after the invasion. To do so requires an analysis of the influence Doc Evatt had in shaping any possible Labor tradition in foreign policy articulation. The support given by Evatt for the decolonisation of the Netherlands East Indies (Indonesia) gave rise to the development of a special relationship-so defined. Evidence of the effect Evatt had on future Labor governments may be found in the opinions of Gough Whitlam. In 1975 when he was Prime Minister, Whitlam felt the East Timor issue was merely the finalisation of Indonesia's decolonisation honouring Evatt's long held anti-colonialist tradition existing in the Australian Labor Party. The early predisposition toward Indonesia's cohesiveness surfaced again in the Hawke and Keating Labor governments of later years. It did not vary a great deal with changes in government
The on-going commitment to preserving and strengthening the bilateral relationship meant Indonesia's territorial integrity became the focus of the Australian political elites regional foreign policy determinations. The actions taken by policy-makers served to promote the desire for a stable region ahead of independence claims of the East Timorese. From a realist perspective, the security dilemma for Australian policy-makers was how to best promote regional order and stability in the South East Asian region. The desire for regional cohesiveness and stability continues to drive Australian political elites to promote policies that gives a priority to the territorial integrity of regional states. Indonesia, in spite of its diversity, was only ever thought of as a cohesive unitary state and changes to its construct have rarely been countenanced. Australia's political elite justifications for this stance vacillate between strategic and economic considerations, ideological (anti-colonialism) to one of being a pragmatic response to international politics.
The political elite argues the projection of power into the region is in Australias national interest. The policies from one government to the next necessarily see the national interest as being an apparent fixed feature of foreign policy. The persistent fear of invasion from the north traditionally motivated Australia's political elite to adopt a strategic realist policy that sought to shore up the stability, strength and unity of Indonesia. The national interest was deemed to be at risk if support for East Timorese independence was given. The national interest though can involve more than just the security issue, and the political elite when dealing with East Timor assumed that they were acting in the common good. Questions that need to be addressed include determining what is the national interest in this context? What is the effect of a government invoking the national interest in debates over issues in foreign policy? And, who should participate in the debate? In an effort to answer these questions an analysis of how the ex-foreign affairs mandarin Richard Woolcott defines the national interest becomes crucial.
Clearly, conflict in East Timor did have implications for the national interest. The invasion of East Timor by Indonesia had the potential to damage the relationship, but equally communist successes in 1975 in Indo-China raised Australia's regional security concerns. During the Cold War, the linking of communism to nationalism was driving the decision-making processes of the Australian policy-makers striving to come to grips with the strategic realities of a changing region. Because of this, did the constraints of world politics dominated by Cold War realities combined with domestic political disruption have anything to do with Australia's response?
Certainly, Australia itself was experiencing a constitutional crisis in late 1975. The Senate had blocked supply and the Labor Government did not have the funds to govern. The Governor-General by dismissing the Labor Government finally resolved the impasse. What were the reactions of the two men charged with the responsibility of forming the caretaker government toward Indonesia's military action? And, could the crisis have prevented the Australian government from making a different response to the invasion?
Importantly, and in terms of economic security, did the knowledge of oil and gas deposits thought to exist in the Timor Sea influence Australia's foreign policy? The search for oil and gas requires a stable political environment in which to operate. Therefore for exploration to continue in the Timor Sea Australia must have had a preferred political option and thoughts of with whom they preferred to negotiate. What was the extent of each government's cooperation and intervention in the oil and gas industry and could any involvement have influenced the Australian political elites attitude toward the prospect of an independent East Timor? Australia's subsequent de jure recognition that East Timor was part of Indonesia paved the way for the Timor Gap (Zone of Cooperation) Treaty signing in 1989. The signing underpinned Australia's acceptance of Indonesian sovereignty over East Timor.
The outcome of the analysis of the issues that shaped Australia's foreign policy toward East Timor showed that the political elite became locked into an integration model, which was defended by successive governments. Moreover, they formed an almost reflexive defence of Indonesia both at the domestic and international level.

Com apoio em dois modelos teóricos sobre a democracia, o elitismo democrático e os públicos participativos, a dissertação investigou o discurso público produzido pelo STF ao julgar determinados casos, identificando indícios de abuso de poder discursivo pela Corte nos mesmos. O referido abuso de poder discursivo é caracterizado pela influência do marco teórico do elitismo democrático e seu consequente potencial de reproduzir e reforçar desenho institucional servil ao repertório de ação não universalizável da elite política nacional.
How the Brazilian Supreme Court (BSC) reconstructs the relation between State and Citizenship in contemporary Brazil, especially concerning the national democracy? The public discourse manufactured by the BSC whilst deciding certain cases was investigated through the lenses of two theoretical models of democracy, democratic elitism and participatory publics, in search for evidences of discourse power abuse. Such abuse is characterized by the influence of the democratic elitism framework and its potential to reproduce and reinforce an institutional design unable to counteract the problematic action repertoir of the Brazilian political elite.

Full textAbstract:
Multi-objective optimisation focuses on optimising multiple objectives simultanuously. Evolutionary and immune-based algorithms have been developed in order to solve multi-objective optimisation problems. These algorithms often include a property called elitism, a method of preserving good solutions. This study has focused on how different approaches of elitism affect an algorithm's ability to find optimal solutions in a multi-objective optimisation problem with a discrete and highly discontinuous decision space. Three state-of-the-art algorithms, NSGA-II, SPEA2+ and NNIA2, were implemented, validated and tested against a multi-objective optimisation problem of a miniature plant. Final populations yielded from all the algorithms were included in an analysis. The results of this study indicate that external populations are important in order for algorithms to find optimal solutions in multi-objective optimisation problems with a discrete and highly discontinuous decision spaces.

Townley, Sarah Ruth. "Redefining British aestheticism : elitism, readerships and the social utility of art." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2012. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/14539/.
Full textAbstract:
British Aestheticism’s demand for an elite audience has been conceived as emblematizing its reputation as a socially-disengaged movement. This thesis revises literary historical accounts of the movement by challenging such long-held assumptions. It aims to develop a more complex understanding of Aestheticism’s theorized reading practices in order to examine how the movement’s elitism evolves out of a concern for specialized methods of critical engagement with form, which are conceived as having ethical consequences. For authors and critics associated with British Aestheticism, a specialist appreciation of form, far from being a retreat from ethics, represents a refined mode of social engagement. In short, this study considers how the movement’s theories of art’s social utility are held to depend upon its elitism. Scholarship has tended to utilize recuperations of Aestheticism to suit certain theoretical agendas and in the process has revised our understanding of the movement’s elitism. Feminist scholarship, for example, has defined a broader, more inclusive and capacious movement in which the link between art’s social utility and aesthetic value is redefined so that Aestheticism is open in principle to anyone, including the public at large. Nicholas Shrimpton has pointed out that the use of the term Aestheticism in recent scholarship ‘as a chronological catch-all [means] the term “Aesthetic” has been stretched so thin that it is [in] danger of collapsing.’ This thesis aims to recuperate the elitism of British Aestheticism, arguing that we should not allow modern values and priorities to reconstruct our understanding of Aestheticism’s critical terms and concepts. In doing so, it aims to re-historicize the Aesthetic Movement. More precisely, it shows how Walter Pater, Henry James and Vernon Lee (pseud. Violet Paget) formulate frameworks of ‘ideal’ aesthetic response against the backdrop of their engagements with intellectual and literary culture. Each chapter traces a number of connecting threads concerning stylistic supremacy, readerly ethics and artistic responsibility that run between the works of these three figures. The first chapter reassesses Aestheticism’s elitist critical practices in relation to its readerships. This chapter pays close attention to the relationship between Pater, James and Lee’s aesthetic theories and authorial strategies expanding our traditional picture of the evolution of Aestheticism to encompass a more complex understanding of its theorization of its readerships. The second chapter traces the influence of the philosophical concept of Arnoldian disinterestedness as a negotiated framework of ‘ideal’ aesthetic response. It considers how a tension between elitism and ethics underlies this critical practice. Whilst this activity preconditions its practitioners for social interaction, it requires a specialist critic to undertake it. The third chapter examines how late-19th century psychological discourse informs our understanding of the tension between elitism and ethics which inhabits Aestheticism’s appropriations of disinterestedness. Overall, the argument of this thesis aims to reassess to the movement’s traditional emphasis on artistic integrity, readerly ethics and stylistic supremacy, but, at the same time, to rethink the periodicity and capaciousness of Aestheticism itself.

Full textAbstract:
The American demographic landscape is no longer a homogeneous melting pot where all colors and flavors blend into indistinct variants. The challenges brought about by such a societal shift have made diversity issues increasingly important. Chief among them is the issue of organizational diversity. Although there has been an increase in organizational diversity research, there is a noted lack of organizational diversity research in the area of college-level forensics programs. This study seeks to fill this void. Specifically, the purpose of the study was to describe diversity levels in college and university forensics programs, and to compare current levels with those of five years past. Survey questionnaires were completed by almost 200 college and university coaches in AFA, CEDA, and Phi Rho Pi. The results of the survey show no significant increase in diversity levels has occurred since Swanson's indictment of elitism in 1989. Forensics continues to have an overwhelming white majority of coaches and competitors; two-thirds of all programs indicate no effort has been made to increase diversity. These results suggest forensics may be in a state of stasis, one inconsistent with its evolving environment.

Full textAbstract:
When the Soviet Union fell it marked the end of an era the ones totalitarian communist state collapsed and, in its place, a new state called Russa emerged with a new leader Boris Yeltsin as the great reformer who had a mission of making Russia a country similar to those int the west. This dream was not to last long soon after his arrival the economy crashed, inflation had skyrocketed, and crime and unemployment struck the country. Boris Yeltsin started privatizing vast numbers of previously state-owned industries which helped create a new elitist class in the oligarchs. The purpose of this essay is to analyze the post-soviet state of Russia and its social and economic elements to determine when an oligarchic structure emerged and how this oligarchy was able to establish a social contract with the Russian people. This will be done with the help of the essays two theories surrounding elitism and conractualism. The result this essay reached was that there are two significant decisions taken by the Yeltsin administration which led to the creation of an oligarchic state these are the two privatization waves. These privatizations made a few men very powerful and we can see the extent of their power and influence in the presidential election of 1997. Were they managed to get Yeltsin reelected even though his popularity was at its lowest by using their massive influence such as their media empire. When Putin got elected it represented a new era of Russian politics, he promised to end the chaos of the 1990s and reestablish security in Russia and put the oligarchs in line. He was able to do this much because of the rising oil prices and the use of Russian nationalism to his advantage. He was able to restore a social contract with the Russian people in turn for less freedom he would guarantee them security and stability

Full textAbstract:
This thesis reports on a three-part research project in which the images of mathematics and mathematicians held by lower secondary pupils were investigated. A survey tool which asked pupils to draw a picture of a mathematician at work, and which included a Likert-type scale and open-ended writing prompts, was designed and developed for use in an international study of pupils in five countries (n = 476). The results indicate that while some pupils hold stereotypical images in common, all pupils appear to know very little about mathematicians and the work they do. Mathematicians' invisibility to pupils of this age appears to affect their images of mathematics. The tool was refined and utilised again as part of two interventions in the United States: the first attempted to see if images would be affected by a unit in graph theory and discrete mathematics topics (n = 28); the second brought pupils (n = 174) together with a panel of mathematicians. Each intervention had different strengths, but both widened pupils' views of mathematics, enabling them to see it as more than just a study of numbers. In a third small study, professionals in the mathematics field (n = 106) from ten countries were asked in a short survey to comment on Who is a mathematician? and Who may call oneself one? Findings of this portion of the study indicate a lack of a unified vision among members of the mathematics community and some evidence of an elitism which would restrict who may define themselves as a mathematician.

Full textAbstract:
This evaluation study of a curriculum innovation in sport specialisation was conducted in Singapore from 1994 to 1997. The longitudinal design provided scope for a comprehensive analysis of the school, the staff, the pupils and the implementation of the sports programme, known as the Sports Class. The use of qualitative as well as quantitative paradigms enabled data to be triangulated within the inquiry, which added security to the interpretation of the subjective data. Surveys, interviews and non-participant observations provided the qualitative data whilst established, validated inventories from the field produced the scientific data. A control/experimental group design was selected as a means of removing any maturational data that might have interfered with the results. The study examined the implementation of the programme as an innovation from its inception and provided formative feedback to the school from its findings through annual reports. As background research, the study considered the historical development of sport in Singapore from its colonial past through to its current status as a 'developing' nation to better understand the dominant values for sport within the culture. Elitism, gender and a pre-occupation with fitness were notions that initially directed the investigation. The study also examined the level of intrinsic motivation and assessed the task and ego profiles of the players in the programme. As well as assessing the programme outcomes against the original goals prescribed by the Principal, the study sought out unanticipated effects that made an impact on the school. The study addressed the influence this elitist initiative had on physical education from an egalitarian perspective. The study found that the programme had been successful in improving sporting as well as academic success, two of the original goals, but found that modifications made to the programme design impaired the final structure that created concerns about the future success of the initiative.

For some time, due to its complexity, the calibration of parameters in transient hydraulic networks was neglected. However, studies related to this phenomenon, especially with respect to the friction factor have been growing in recent times. Simulations of the equilibrium conditions of a hydraulic distribution network become one of the most important steps in the technical analysis of water supply systems. In order to identify and estimate the parameters of a hydraulic network, from observed data of transient loads, a computational model was developed. In general, the physical parameters of the network such as friction factors, absolute roughness, diameters and the identification, measurement and quantification of leaks are unknown quantities. This work aims at the identification and calibration of the friction factors by means of a combination of the Inverse Transient Method - MTI - with the Genetic Algorithm - AG. Next to this combination was used the Method of Characteristics - MOC - to solve the equations of the flow in permanent and transient regime in networks of pipes. The hypothetical hydraulic net under analysis consists of eight variable demand nodes, ten tubes and a quota reservoir equivalent to 60m, being submitted to a 30s transient. The analyzes were performed through programs that apply the technique of optimization of the genetic algorithm to find the optimal values of the hydraulic load in the observed node. A comparative study will be carried out between two types of elitism in order to evaluate the effects produced in the identification and calibration of the friction factors in transient conditions. The steady state conditions are known. Five elitism rates were applied to each initial population in order to analyze the influence on the calibration result. Elitism 2 presented smaller errors than elitism 1, both for the average processing and for better processing, even with higher objective functions. The rate of best efficiency for the application of elitism 1 and 2 was 70%. The hydraulic transient is directly related to the definition of the parameters of the genetic algorithm.
Durante algum tempo, devido a sua complexidade, a calibração de parâmetros em redes hidráulicas em regime transiente foi negligenciada. Entretanto, os estudos relacionados a esse fenômeno, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao fator de atrito vêm crescendo nos últimos tempos. As simulações das condições de equilíbrio de uma rede de distribuição hidráulica tornam-se uma das etapas mais importantes na análise técnica de sistemas de abastecimento de água. Com o fito de identificar e estimar os parâmetros de uma rede hidráulica, a partir de dados observados de cargas transientes, desenvolveu-se um modelo computacional. De uma maneira geral, os parâmetros físicos da rede como fatores de atrito, rugosidades absolutas, diâmetros e a identificação, mensuração e quantificação de vazamentos são grandezas desconhecidas. Este trabalho tem como escopo a identificação e calibração dos fatores de atrito por meio de uma combinação do Método Transiente Inverso – MTI – com o Algoritmo Genético – AG. Junto a essa combinação utilizou-se o Método das Características – MOC – para resolução das equações do escoamento em regime permanente e transiente em redes de tubulações. A rede hidráulica hipotética em análise é formada por oito nós de demanda variável, dez tubos e um reservatório de cota equivalente a 60m, sendo submetida a um transiente de 30s. As análises foram realizadas através de programas que aplicam a técnica de otimização do algoritmo genético para encontrar os valores ótimos da carga hidráulica no nó observado. Será trabalhado o estudo comparativo entre dois tipos de elitismo com a finalidade de avaliar os efeitos produzidos na identificação e calibração dos fatores de atrito em condições transientes. As condições de regime permanente são conhecidas. Aplicaram-se cinco taxas de elitismo à cada população inicial, de modo a analisar a influência no resultado da calibração. O elitismo 2 apresentou erros menores do que o elitismo 1, tanto para a média dos processamentos como para o melhore processamento, mesmo apresentando funções objetivo maiores. A taxa de melhor eficiência para a aplicação do elitismo 1 e 2 foi a de 70%. O transiente hidráulico tem relação direta com a definição dos parâmetros do algoritimo genético.

Full textAbstract:
En les últimes dècades, moltes escoles d’elit fundades segons paràmetres nacionals s’han internacionalitzat per adaptar-se a les condicions canviants de les societats en la modernitat tardana, i mantenir-se competitives en un mercat educatiu altament disputat. La internacionalitat pot ser més o menys explícita, i s’implementa en major o menor mesura en escoles públiques, concertades i privades (Bonal, 2009; Vilalta, 2015). Internacionalitzar-se implica, normalment, augmentar la presència de l’anglès i d’altres llengües estrangeres, consolidar programes d’intercanvi o cursar períodes a l’estranger, i implementar programes internacionals com els que ofereix la Organització del Batxillerat Internacional (IBO), que són cada cop més presents en escoles de tot el món (Resnik, 2012, 2015). Aquesta singular etnografia explora la construcció de la categoria internacional en dues escoles d’elit des de la perspectiva de la sociolingüística crítica. Posar la llengua al centre de l’estudi dels processos d’elitització educatius és força excepcional, i un angle fins ara inèdit en el context de Catalunya. Durant un període de tres anys he dut a terme treball de camp etnogràfic en dues escoles de l’àrea de Barcelona, una escola ‘britànica internacional’ i una escola ‘catalana internacional’. La meva anàlisi es basa en les observacions d’aula i de diversos espais de les escoles, converses i entrevistes, en els paisatges lingüístics i també en les notes de camp, dades visuals i documents, en les pàgines web de les escoles i dades de xarxes socials, i polítiques lingüístiques educatives. Tots aquests elements permeten mostrar i analitzar les transformacions semiòtiques que ha requerit en aquests casos el procés d’esdevenir internacional. La meva anàlisi mostra processos d’estilització que han tingut lloc en diversos àmbits: l’ambient, els espais, el currículum i els individus. He explorat les dinàmiques complexes que intervenen en les pràctiques de distinció (Bourdieu, 1984) que hi ha al darrere dels processos d’internacionalització en les quals escoles i individus s’embarquen; qui té accés a quins recursos; com els diversos participants es capitalitzen o descapitalitzen; quins processos de categorització social hi tenen lloc; i quines conseqüències té tot això per als projectes socials i acadèmics dels estudiants i les escoles. Les històries de les escoles i les respectives comunitats educatives revelen el desig frenètic de capitalització de les classes mitjanes-altes que, en l’escenari de post-crisis actual a Catalunya, desitgen accedir a posicions de privilegi, o mantenir-les. Una educació internacional, i un ‘molt bon anglès’ semblen ser el màxim capital distintiu, que atrau tant al públic local com a les classes mitjanes globals, per tenir la millor mà per a competir en un mercat educatius neoliberalitzats. L’anàlisi de les estratègies educatives de les classes mitjanes-altes que es mostra en aquesta tesi revela les possibilitats i limitacions de mobilitat social per a estudiants amb capitals diversos (Bourdieu, 1986). L’anàlisi dels mecanismes de producció i reproducció de classe és crucial per a entendre com els processos d’estratificació social funcionen i emergeixen del sistema educatiu a Catalunya actualment.In the last decades, many elite schools, which were founded following national models of education, have been internationalising to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of neoliberalised late-modern societies and remain competitive in highly disputed education markets. Internationality can take more or less explicit forms, and can vary in intensity in public, semi-private and private schools (Bonal, 2009; Vilalta, 2016). It usually involves, however, intensifying the presence of English and other foreign languages, institutionalizing exchange or term/year abroad programmes, and implementing international curricula such as those offered by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO), which are increasingly gaining presence in schools worldwide (Resnik, 2012, 2015). This original ethnography explores the construction of the category international in two elite educational institutions from a critical sociolinguistic perspective. The focus on language(s) in processes of elitisation of education is unique, and unexplored until now in the context of Catalonia. For a period of three years I conducted ethnographic fieldwork in two schools in the Barcelona area, a ‘British international’ school and a ‘Catalan international’ school. I draw on participant observations of classes and a variety of school spaces, conversations and interviews, linguistic landscapes, and also field notes, visual data, field documents, website data and social network data, but also language-in-education policies to understand how semiotic regimes are transformed when becoming international. This happens through processes of stylisation taking place at multiple scales. My analysis shows how atmospheres, spaces, curricula and individuals are both updated and upscaled. I have explored the nuanced dynamics of distinction practices (Bourdieu, 1984) behind the internationalising processes in which schools and individuals engage; who gets to access which resources; how different participants become capitalised or decapitalised; which processes of social categorisation take place; and what consequences this has for the social and academic endeavours of students and schools. The stories of the schools and their communities reveal the frenzy for capitalisation of the (upper-)middle classes in a post-crisis Catalonia, who desire to gain access to privileged spaces or maintain their status. An international education, and a ‘very good English’ seem to be the ultimate distinctive capital. It is attractive to the traditional local clientele of these schools and increasingly to the global middle classes, who seek to compete with the best hand in neoliberalised education markets. The unique analysis of the educational strategies of the (upper-)middle classes provided in this thesis reveals the possibilities and limitations of class advancement for students with different stocks of capitals (Bourdieu, 1986). A deeper understanding of such mechanisms is crucial to understand how processes of social stratification work and emerge in the Catalan education system today.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation modifies several estimation distribution algorithms (EDAs) and implements them in engineering optimization problems. The EDAs are population-based evolutionary algorithms, which employ extreme elitism selection. The main work of the present study is outlined below.
First, an approach of extreme elitism selection is developed for EDAs. This selection highlights the effect of a few top solutions and advances EDAs to form a primary evolutionary direction. Simultaneously, this selection can also maintain population diversity to make EDAs avoid premature convergence. EDAs with the new selection approach are tested using a set of benchmark low-dimensional and high-dimensional optimization problems. The experimental results show that the EDA based on univariate marginal Gaussian distribution (UMGD) with extreme elitism selection can outperform some other classical evolution algorithms for most problems.
Second, the EDA based on UMGD with extreme elitism is implemented for solving the inverse displacement problem (IDP) of a robotic manipulator. This EDA is compared with the EDAs with other selection methods in solving the IDP of a 4-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic arm. Next the algorithm is integrated with differential mutation to solve the IDP of a 7-DOF robotic arm. After that, the proposed algorithm is used to search for satisfactory solutions as a continuous curve. The simulation results show this algorithm can reach real time speeds, in practical applications.
Third, EDAs based on five different Gaussian distributions are proposed to solve optimization problems with various types of constraints like equality, inequality, linear, nonlinear, continuous or discontinuous. It is found the EDA based on a single multivariate Gaussian distribution with extreme elitism selection can outperform other EDAs. Besides, this EDA has good performance for four engineering design problems.
Fourth, EDA is combined with differential mutation to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs). The hybrid algorithm seeks to find the Pareto optimal front for MOPs. EDAs guide the search direction in the evolution while differential mutation keeps a diversified population. A new sampling method that uses more Gaussian models to generate offspring is specially designed for the EDAs for MOPs. In light of no-free-lunch theorem, different probabilistic models and programing codes are adopted for different MOPs.Applied Science, Faculty of

Chinese elitism and neoliberalism were the fundamental mechanisms that governed and shaped Hong Kong during the British colonial rule. These mechanisms, however, remains not only active 15 years after the handover of Hong Kong to People's Republic of China in 1997 – their domination has been heightened, particularly in the domain of the city's cultural policy making.
This dissertation examines the key issues concerning the development of Hong Kong's post-colonial cultural policy under the frameworks of a renewed Chinese elitism and neoliberalism, to find out what kind of cultural policy does Hong Kong need and what cultural future is lying ahead of Hong Kong.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: James O'TooleIn the 1960s American Jesuit secondary school administrators struggled to resolve a profound tension within their institutions. The religious order's traditional educational aim dating back to the 1500s emphasized influence through contact with "important and public persons" in order that the Jesuits might in turn help direct cultures around the world to a more universal good. This historical foundation clashed sharply with what was emerging as the Jesuits' new emphasis on a preferential option for the poor. This dissertation argues that the greater cultural and religious changes of the 1960s posed a fundamental challenge to Catholic elite education in the United States. The competing visions of the Jesuits produced a crisis of identity, causing some Jesuit high schools either to collapse or reinvent themselves in the debate over whether Jesuit schools were for richer or for poorer Americans. The dissertation examines briefly the historical process that led to this crisis of identity, beginning with the contribution of Jesuit education to the Americanization of massive numbers of first and second-generation immigrant Catholics as they adjusted to life in America in the first half of the twentieth century. As Catholics adapted, increasingly sophisticated American Jesuit schools became instrumental in the formation of a Catholic elite, and many of the institutions found themselves among elite American schools. This elite identity was disrupted by two factors: the cultural volatility of the 1960s and the Jesuits' election of a new leader, Pedro Arrupe. While some Jesuit educators embraced Arrupe's preferential option for the poor, others feared it would undercut the traditional approach of outreach to the elite. Through a case study of one Jesuit boarding school, the dissertation seeks to expand our understanding of the impact of 1960s social change into the less-explored realms of religion and education

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Rowell S. MelnickIn 1965, at the height of the Great Society, when there was also a consensus about the importance of the humanities to edify American life, Congress established a federal agency to support them: the National Endowment for Humanities (NEH). Shortly thereafter arose a sea change in scholarship and education in the humanities, which by the 1980s became an issue in the broader U.S. culture wars. Many scholars and intellectuals became sharply divided over such questions as the authors and books to prioritize and include in liberal arts curricula, modes of interpretation of texts, and perspectives on the goodness (or lack thereof) to be found in Western civilization and American history. This policy history examines how, in this changing context, the NEH has managed to endure and how it has interpreted and carried out its mandate to support the humanities. It is divided into two parts. Part I tells the story of how the NEH has maintained itself; how it has survived attempts at termination, achieved budget increases and sustained losses, and how it has set its budgetary priorities. This analysis of organizational maintenance traces the evolution of the national debate over federal funding for culture, looking at how the major political parties have changed position on this issue over time. It examines how the NEH built a clientele, the state humanities councils, to bolster its support in Congress. And it looks at how changes in party positioning and related developments in the culture war effectively empowered that clientele—with the effect of helping save the agency when threatened with abolishment, but also giving that clientele greater influence over the NEH’s policies and budgetary priorities. Part II explains how the NEH’s internal bureaucratic structure has operated during the culture wars. When the agency was founded, Congress established a structure with the goal of empowering the NEH to make decisions on the basis of nonpolitical expertise in the humanities, assuming that the agency would need to be able to resist pressures to award grants to favored constituencies at the expense of merit. Part II analyzes how that structure has operated in a different and wholly unanticipated context, one in which many of those who could claim the mantle of expertise have become polarized on issues such as multiculturalism and the importance of “great books.” It compares the bureaucratic structure at the NEH with the structures and practices that have evolved at other federal grant-making agencies: the National Endowment for the Arts and National Science Foundation. The analysis shows how the structure at NEH has enabled Democratic and Republican appointed chairmen to push the substance of grant-making in progressive and traditional directions, respectively, despite continuity of formal rules, procedures, and professional staff. This dissertation concludes with an assessment of what can be expected from the NEH in regard to its durability, budgetary priorities, and grant-making under Republican and Democratic administrations

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this research is to explore dropout and persistence in academic elitism within a higher education system under policies of expansion. This case study employs an interpretative methodology to examine the phenomenon from the perspective of students and academics. The analysis is framed under known models of student retention with the added scope of Putnam’s concept of social capital, and Bourdieu’s concepts of academic capital, habitus, doxa, hysteresis and symbolic violence. Research questions explore why students leave the course, how they overcome barriers to completion and the process of gaining membership of academic elitism. Findings unveil a hidden doxa of selectivity that aims at the retention of the naturally talented and best-fit students. Practices of symbolic violence are observed throughout the course. The marginalisation of disadvantaged students is legitimised by the habitus of the School through the imposition of the characteristics necessary to earn membership of academic elitism. Distancing practices among students and faculty hinder the development of social capital, a key element to gain access to academic and emotional support needed to build academic capital of relevance to the field. The doxa of academic elitism is internalised and approached by means of academic buoyancy and resilience. Family facilitates availability of time as a fundamental resource to be invested in academic activities, and peers and family are the source of encouragement and support to help students sustain a fragile self-concept of achievement, and intentions to persist despite marginalisation practices faced. The lack of support and the pedagogic practices observed in the course represent a failure trap experienced with a sense of personal deficit. Leaving the course is not only explained in terms of student characteristics, but in terms of limited opportunities to succeed in a course that represents a gateway to positions of prestige and power in society.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgicoOne of the steps in the technical analysis of water supply systems are simulations of the conditions of equilibrium a distribution network. In order to estimate the parameters of a hydraulic network, from observed data hydraulic loads, there is developed a computational method. In general, the physical parameters of the network as unknown friction factors, the absolute roughness, diameter and the identification and quantification of leaks are unknown quantities. In this study, the focus will be on the identification of diameters through a combination Transient Reverse method - Genetic Algorithm with the MTI - AG using the method of characteristics - MOC the solution of equations of motion for a transient flow in ducting . The use of elitism operator is used to evaluate the effects on the identification of the diameter transient conditions. The steady state conditions are known. The accuracy of the MTI model developed AG are evaluated by two-networks example, used in the proposed calibration problem. The effect of the transient is achieved by changing demand of the nodes of the distribution network. The performance of the proposed method is verified by evaluating the variability of the transient size of the record and possible reading errors in the hydraulic loads and diameters

Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Devil on the Cross represents both an insightful interpretation and a scathing critique of Kenyan politics and society during the period of neo-colonialism. The present thesis aims to explore, with the help of Marxist ideology and criticism, the relevance of the issues of class struggle, elitism and social collectivism in the novel. At the same time, this study will attempt to define Devil on the Cross as a "national allegory" depicting situations that are common to almost all post-colonial societies, and in particular, how the novel's ideological and political commitment is an important feature as it reflects Ngugi’s effort to draw attention to how Kenya and Africa as a whole suffered from imperialism, neo-colonialism, and a corrupt and greedy capitalist society.

Previous issue date: 2011-03-11This essay examines the concepts of political representation of three contemporary democratic theories. It aims at exploring their theoretical consistency both regarding the democratic process and the electoral representativeness. The elitist theory of democracy, as framed by Joseph Schumpeter, is based upon the assumption that voters lack discernment skills while political elites have leadership capacity. As a result, representation can be grounded on authority formalism, as well as political participation could be restricted to the choice of representatives. Democracy would be ensured by this decision-making method. The republicanist Philip Pettit's theory, by its turn, is based on republican principles. The non-domination ideal requires the active participation of society, not only in the choice of representatives. Instead, the capability to compete in the decision sphere of power would allow voters to recall representatives by means of control mechanisms established by the rule of law. The theory of radical democracy, as framed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, lacks the prescriptive features of the two previous ones. It is based on a new analytical perspective of society, which breaks with essentialism dichotomy. They propose an agonistic model of democracy, which takes into account the plural nature of manhood, which is antagonistic and affectionate. As a result, this theory frames the role of representatives differently. As theories of representative democracy, these models of representation present themselves as critical operacionalization, with internal contradictions. As a result, they may, on some dimensions, de-constitute themselves either as democratic theories or as theories of representation.
Esta dissertação analisa as ideias de representação política de três teorias contemporâneas da democracia, com o propósito de demonstrar sua pertinência teórica no que diz respeito ao processo democrático e à representatividade eleitoral. A ideia de representação na teoria democrática elitista, tal como postulada por Joseph Schumpeter, baseia-se no pressuposto da incapacidade de discernimento por parte do eleitor, em contraposição à capacidade de liderança da elite política. Este pressuposto empírico conferiria justificativa moral para o formalismo da autoridade e à participação eleitoral restrita à escolha dos representantes. Nestas bases, as decisões políticas seriam democráticas. A teoria republicana, por sua vez, tal como formulada por Philip Pettit, tem por base o ideal de não-dominação. Por ser republicana, requer a participação ativa da sociedade, para além da escolha dos representantes. O cidadão teria capacidade para disputar decisões nas esferas de poder e destituir seus representantes, através da instituição do império da lei, com diversos mecanismos de controle. Por fim, a teoria da democracia radical, tal como formulada por Ernesto Laclau e Chantal Mouffe, não apresenta as características prescritivas das teorias anteriores. Baseia sua análise da sociedade em uma nova perspectiva, de ruptura com o essencialismo dicotômico. Propõe um modelo agonístico da democracia, que leva em consideração a natureza humana plural, antagônica e afetiva. Estes pressupostos implicam um reordenamento da função dos representantes. Enquanto teorias da democracia representativa, estes modelos de representação constituem-se em uma operacionalidade fundamental, os quais podem apresentar, algumas vezes, contradições internas, culminando por desconstituí-las como teorias democráticas ou como teorias representativas.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines two organizational strategies employed for influencing American environmental policy with considerations to the "power elite" and "pluralist" models of policy control. Using a data set comprised of 379 organizations derived from US congressional hearings on climate change policy between 1976 and 2006, I find that industrial corporations conceal the public footprint of their involvement by financially encouraging "independent" research centers to provide favorable testimony. Meanwhile, nonprofit organizations are more likely to be co-represented by shared experts, a resource that is strategically shared for political gain. These findings provide some circumscribed support for both the power elite and pluralist models of organizational influence: the organization of power elites has a disproportionate amount of resources in a system that provides an arena for competing values and goals. Implications for understanding the organizational strategies towards congressional testimony as well as directions for future research are discussed based on these findings.

As principais etapas desse mÃtodo sÃo calibraÃÃo; operaÃÃo e controle; projeto e otimizaÃÃo; e traÃado de redes. A ideia deste trabalho à aprimorar uma dessas tÃcnicas, a de calibraÃÃo, processo de identificaÃÃo dos parÃmetros das tubulaÃÃes (fator de atrito, rugosidade, diÃmetros e outros) em redes existentes, na qual os mesmos sÃo considerados desconhecidos. A metodologia adotada à o MÃtodo Transiente Inverso (MTI) com otimizaÃÃo da tÃcnica de seleÃÃo da soluÃÃo atravÃs do algoritmo GenÃtico (AG). O objetivo principal à calibrar os principais parÃmetros (fator de atrito e rugosidade) a fim de analisar a conveniÃncia de duas tÃcnicas: cÃlculo do fator de atrito pelo mÃtodo pelo MTI-AG e a partir da rugosidade (com uso da fÃrmula de Swamee, 1993). O estudo à realizado para duas redes sintÃticas tiradas da literatura, mas que representam sistemas reais. As condiÃÃes impostas para a anÃlise sÃo: duas manobras de vÃlvulas (lenta e brusca) responsÃveis pelo evento transiente, o monitoramento de cargas transientes em somente 20% dos nÃs das redes e a utilizaÃÃo de dois tipo de seleÃÃo de soluÃÃo do algoritmo genÃtico (com elitismo e sem elitismo). Os experimentos sÃo realizados a partir de trÃs programas: o primeiro calcula as condiÃÃes permanentes, o segundo fornece cargas transientes por meio do MÃtodo das CaracterÃsticas (MOC) na busca das soluÃÃes das equaÃÃes de movimento no escoamento transiente e o terceiro, que trabalha de forma conjugada com os demais, seleciona os melhores resultados atravÃs de iteraÃÃes realizadas conforme o algoritmo genÃtico, tÃcnica inspirada nos mecanismos de evoluÃÃo dos seres vivos. Os resultados encontrados indicam que independente das condiÃÃes impostas inicialmente à mais eficiente identificar o fator de atrito a partir das rugosidades absolutas do que calibrar esse fator pelo MTI-AG devido a grande variabilidade dos fatores de atrito durante a ocorrÃncia do evento transiente.Water is an essential natural resource for all life forms and their distribution should be carried out with quality and without waste. One of the methods of optimization of water distribution systems is based on the simulation (modeling) of real hydraulic networks using computational models that can predict their behavior in various situations the logo of its useful life. The main steps of this method are calibration; operation and control; design and optimization; and route networks. The idea of this work is to improve one such technique, the calibration parameters of the pipes identification process (friction factor, surface roughness, diameter and the like) existing in networks in which they are considered unknown. The methodology adopted is the Transient Inverse Method (MTI) with optimization of the solution selection technique by Genetic Algorithm (GA). The main objective is to calibrate the main parameters (friction and roughness factor) to analyze the convenience of two techniques: calculation of the friction factor by the method by MTI-AG and from the roughness (using the formula Swamee, 1993 ). The study is carried out for two taken synthetic networks of literature, but represent real systems. The conditions for the analysis are: two maneuvers valves (slow and abrupt) responsible for the transient event, the monitoring of transient loads in only 20% of the nodes of the networks and the use of two types of solution selection of genetic algorithm (with elitism and without elitism). The experiments are carried out through three programs: the first calculates the permanent conditions, the second provides transient loads through the method of characteristics (MOC) in the search for solutions of the equations of motion in the transient flow and the third, who works so combined with others, selects the best results through iterations performed according to the genetic algorithm, a technique inspired by the mechanisms of evolution of living beings. The results indicate that regardless of the conditions imposed is initially more efficiently identify the friction factor from the absolute roughness than calibrate this factor by MTI-AG due to the great variability of friction factors for the occurrence of the transient event.

Singapore är ett fascinerande land. På bara några få decennier har landet gått från att vara en liten instabil stadsstat utan större naturresurser till att bli ett ekonomiskt världscentrum. Mur hur fungerar egentligen Singapores politiska styrelseskick? Är landet verkligen en demokrati eller har det i själva verket diktatoriska drag? Denna uppsats syftar till att steg för steg undersöka landets politiska situation för att slutligen landa i en definition om vad Singapore egentligen står politiskt. Dem styrande hävdar att dem levererar en effektiv och okorrumperad regering till medborgarna medan vissa oppositionspolitiker menar att regeringen styr med auktoritära medel. Hur kan man definiera den politiska situationen i Singapore idag och framför allt vilken regimtyp kan landet klassas som? Detta arbete är en fallstudie av teorikonsumerande art där olika fakta kommer att analyseras och sedan sammanfattas i en slutlig analys där jag skall fastställa regimtypen.

Genetiska algoritmer(GA)är en sökalgoritm som framlades av Holland (1975). GA efterliknar evolution; en mängd lösningar kombineras och muterar under loppet av flera generationer för att skapa en så bra lösning som möjligt. En vidareutveckling av GA är distribuerade genetiska algoritmer (DGA); en samling GA exekverar isolerat från varandra och med jämna mellanrum delar lösningarmed varandra. Detta arbete har undersökt hur DGA påverkas av k-elitism; att de k bästa lösningarna kopieras till nästa generation utan att förändras. En DGA har implementerats som löser handelsresandeproblem från problembiblioteket TSPLIB. Experimenten visade att k-elitism påverkar hur bra lösningar som produceras samt hur många generationer som krävs innan algoritmen slutar göra framsteg. Vissa värden på k gav i regel bättre resultat, och andra värden på k gav i regel sämre resultat. Det föreslås att mer forskning görs på området. Resultaten bör verifieras för andra variabeluppsättningar och migrationsfrekvensens betydelse bör undersökas djupare.

Abstract:
Football is one of the most popular sports in Brazil and has a strong influence on the
Brazilian cultural identity. With the rising price of tickets to watch the games, supporter partner
programs, coupled with the need to subscribe to television packages to watch club matches, the
most popular tier with lower income ends up being excluded. The research had as objective to
verify if the high prices charged, as much in tickets, as in products, is a factor that has turned
away the fans of its teams. The results, together with the bibliography consulted, point out that
the high cost of football has been a factor that ends up excluding and rejecting the fans of their
soccer teams. In this way, some clubs and the fans have been moving in order to reduce this
process of elitisation.

Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2010. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1826.
Full textAbstract:
Everyone experiences leisure differently but, for people who excel in a chosen field, a hobby can become a serious goal-oriented leisure pursuit. Many talented people, however, fail to reach their leisure goals due to constraints. This study explored individual life experiences of serious leisure participants. It focused on the lived experiences of individual event [horse] riders and opera singers who successfully negotiated their constraints, enabling them to reach their high performance goals.
The purpose of this study was to explore positive personal strategies that individuals used to negotiate constraints in serious leisure. This was done by exploring intrapersonal, interpersonal and structural leisure constraints using an individual’s life experiences. During the process of this study, elitism in the leisure pursuits of event riding and opera singing, and the perceptions about individuals who participate in these activities, were also explored.
A multidisciplinary approach was used in this study using a two stage mixed research methodology. The first stage explored the lived experiences of two individuals through a series of in-depth case study interviews, followed by interviews with their parents and coaches. Focus groups followed to establish if a wider group of participants within the same leisure pursuits experienced similar findings. The second stage of the study used a quantitative method, which consisted of a broader national survey. The survey data validated the qualitative findings and strengthened study outcomes.
The findings of this study related to the opportunity-seeking skills an individual develops throughout their leisure life. These opportunity-seeking skills were linked to the likes, needs and wants an individual must have to reach a high performance level. It also found four principal ‘C Factors’ important to individual decision-making processes: conditioning, change, choice and control. Research findings revealed that early support and encouragement, however small, conditioned and motivated individuals to start and continue in a particular leisure activity. It also showed that those who had the ability to improve their talent, who personally believed in themselves, who viewed difficulties or complicated situations positively, and sought opportunities to enhance their leisure goals and change constraint outcomes, continued to succeed. Individuals had to make choices to enable them to control their goal achievement and deal with constraints throughout their leisure life. High performance success was found to be related to superior opportunity-seeking skills. Constraints arising from perceptions of elitism within serious leisure pursuits were found to be based on an individual’s life experiences and societal opinions, and not on the actual activity itself.
In this study the strength of an individual’s motivation and self-belief, had a direct influence on their perceptions of constraints, and how they personally used opportunity-seeking to negotiate these constraints. Although the ability to predict which athletes or artists will become national or world class is limited, the conceptual framework developed in this study based on successful constraint negotiation strategies, could aid individuals wishing to reach a high performance level, and guide their parents and coaches to provide optimal support.

This thesis analyzes the populism of the Village Institutes by comparing it with
Kemalist populism. In this context it is worth to say that throughout the thesis
populism is defined as government by the people and discussed in relation to
democracy. In order to do so &ndashas a first step - the democratic structure and function(ing) of the Village Institutes are discussed with reference to their fundamental principles, organizational structure, and educational program. Secondly, the contradictory conceptualization of the &ldquo
people&rdquo
and the separation between the &ldquo
intellectual&rdquo
and the &ldquo
people&rdquo
is tried to be analyzed with reference to the writings of ismail Hakki Tonguç
(who is called as the architect of the Village Institutes), the memoirs of the graduates of the Village Institutes, and indepth interviews made with their graduates. The question hereby is to what extent this understanding of populism involve in itself what can be called the &ldquo
paradoxical elitism&rdquo
of the populist ideology, which arises out of the tensive relation between &ldquo
social-egalitarian&rdquo
and &ldquo
administrative-institutional&rdquo
aspects of populism. It is claimed that despite the similarities with Kemalist populism, the Village Institutes shifted the emphasis from the &ldquo
administrative-institutional&rdquo
to the &ldquo
social-egalitarian&rdquo
aspect of populism and surpassed the boundaries of Kemalist populism by implementing democratic principles like &ldquo
equality&rdquo
and &ldquo
self-government&rdquo
, and encouraging participation and by attempting to create a new kind of intellectual through &ldquo
education within work&rdquo

Denna undersökning syftar till att med en kvalitativ receptionsanalys svara på frågan hur de anställda på Banken X tolkar en intern reklamfilm på ett dominant, förhandlande eller oppositionellt vis. Ytterligare en frågeställning om huruvida de anställdas uppfattning av begreppet ambition, som är centralt i den interna kampanjen, korresponderar med det som Banken X vill att den ska förmedla. Undersökningens metodik är en receptionsstudie som innefattar dominant, förhandlande samt oppositionella tolkningar. Resultatet för dessa tolkningar bygger på nio stycken kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer med anställda på ett av bankens lokalkontor. Våra teoretiska utgångspunkter är receptionsanalys, kritisk teori, socialkonstruktionism, interkommunikation samt företagskultur. Teorierna har legat till grund för vår analys samt resultat. Resultaten visar på att olika tolkningar av den interna reklamfilmen har gjorts av de anställda, men att den dominanta tolkningen var den mest framstående. Vidare har vi sett att ambition är ett väldigt brett begrepp som tolkas olika av de anställda vilket gör det svårt att få en helt koherent uppfattning av de över tusen anställda. Vi har kommit fram till att våra valda teorier internkommunikation och företagskultur är starkt sammankopplade på det vis att internkommunikationen på något vis definierar företagets kultur. Undersökningen har även visat på att det som behövs för att nå en ökad förståelse hos de anställda är mer diskussion och information kring vad begreppet ambition står för i företagets kontext samt vad man vill förmedla både internt och externt till kunderna.

Darbe nagrinėjama internetizacijos įtaka kultūrinei spaudai: kaip ji buvo priimta, kaip, vykstant internetizacijos procesui, kito kultūrinė spaudos turinys, misija, vizija, auditorija. Norint tai išsiaiškinti darbe analizuojama internetinės spaudos, populiariosios ir elitinės kultūros institucijos. Nors kultūrinė spauda yra savita ir priklauso elitinio meno krypčiai, norėdama išlikti, ji vis dėlto turi vadovautis rinkos dėsniais, ypač, jei esminės paramos nesuteikia valstybė. Dėl šių skirtingų sąlygų susikirtimo, iškyla ambivalencijos, įsikitinimo, transgresijos vyksmo tikimybė.

[toliau žr. visą tekstą]It is analysed in this paper the impact of the internetization to the cultural press: how did the cultural press adopt internetization, how the content, mission, vision and audience have changed. In order to achieve it, institutions of the internet press, popular ant elitist culture were analyzed. Although, the cultural press is unique and belongs to elitist art, it also has to behave according to the market laws, especially if no grants from the state are being given. Due to these different operating conditions, there is a great chance of ambivalence, “entering into another“, transgression possibility. The object of this paper is the change of “Siaurės Atenai”, “Literatura ir menas“, “7 meno dienos“ ir “Nemunas“ weeklies‘ content, vision, mission and audience. These particular weeklies were chosen because of their content, thought and publishing characteristics similarities. It was tried to investigate the impact of mutation to content, vision, mission and audience of “Siaures Atenai“, “Literatura ir menas“, “7 meno dienos“ and “Nemunas“ on the terms of internetization. In order to achieve this goal, objectives were fulfilled: the significance and particularity of cultural press were explored, the development of Lithuanian cultural press was revealed, internetization impact to Lithuanian press was examined, as well.

Full textAbstract:
This study follows students from two Swedish elite upper secondary schools with different profiles when they participate in a parliamentarian role-play game. The game lacks a teacher authority and is not a graded activity, putting the students in a position where they must negotiate what constitutes winning and losing. The game is used as an ethnographic site to investigate what it means to be a ‘successful’ elite school student and how it is embodied. The aim is to explore concrete processes of habitus formation, extending the knowledge regarding elite socialization in the Swedish case. The findings suggest that the game puts notions of what it means to be a ‘successful’ student to its head, giving rise to conflicts between students from the two differently profiled schools. The conflicts articulate differences between schools within the elite school category with regard to student formation. Further, the game singles out a few students and make them feel entitled to become leaders. The study shows that the intersection of students’ school affiliation, gender and social class background is important in order to understand whether they feel entitled or not, as well to understand their more encompassing experiences in this elite school game.

Resumo: A pesquisa que deu origem ao presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar o perfil do novo aluno do Ensino Superior diante de um contexto neoliberal. A investigação foi desenvolvida a partir de uma análise bibliográfica, disponibilizada nos capítulos iniciais, fundamentando o trabalho de campo, que é apresentado no capítulo IV. A metodologia utilizada foi a abordagem qualitativa-quantitativa, possibilitando que a análise fosse realizada a partir de informações objetivas e de dados qualitativos. Quanto às informações objetivas, foram utilizados os elementos disponíveis no banco de dados da mantenedora das instituições pesquisadas e o resultado do questionário aplicado, e, sobre os dados qualitativos, foram obtidos através da análise documental e de entrevistas, realizadas a partir da Técnica de Grupos Focais. Nos capítulos I e II do trabalho, é apresentada uma revisão da literatura sobre o Ensino Superior, momento em que foi contextualizado o seu desenvolvimento no país, e o papel assumido pelo Estado nesse processo. Nesse histórico, aborda-se a expansão ocorrida no Ensino Superior desde o período colonial até a primeira década dos anos 2000, e enfatiza-se o crescimento que se deu a partir dos anos 90 (período marcado pelo cenário neoliberal) e a ocorrência de sua elitização no país, ficando demonstrado o caráter excludente de nossa sociedade. No capítulo III, discute-se o processo de elitização e exclusão no acesso ao Ensino Superior, com destaque para as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos jovens oriundos de famílias que possuem um baixo poder aquisitivo. Nesse contexto neoliberal, buscou-se delinear o perfil desse novo aluno, que é diferente das características dos estudantes que historicamente frequentam o Ensino Superior. Para o trabalho de campo, cujos resultados estão reunidos no capítulo IV, foram escolhidas 03 (três) unidades educacionais de uma das maiores mantenedoras de Instituições de Ensino Superior do país. Quanto aos estudantes, foram selecionados os alunos matriculados no Curso de Tecnologia em Gestão de Recursos Humanos que ingressaram nas instituições através de Financiamento Estudantil (Fies), e/ou do Programa Universidade para Todos (ProUni). Neste capítulo, além de um breve histórico das instituições, apresenta-se e discute-se o resultado que se obteve através do banco de dados da mantenedora, de documentos institucionais, da aplicação dos questionários e realização das entrevistas, possibilitando apresentar as características que compõem o perfil do novo aluno do Ensino Superior, situado em um contexto neoliberal, bem como indicar as instituições e os cursos que frequenta. Nas Considerações Finais, retoma-se a contextualização do cenário que dificultou o acesso dos jovens de baixo poder aquisitivo ao Ensino Superior, e comprova-se que a ampliação desse acesso provocou novas desigualdades entre as diferentes classes sociais, através da adoção de mecanismos que mantém as características de uma sociedade capitalista

The methodology was qualitative - quantitative approach , enabling the analysis was performed based on objective information and qualitative data . As for objective information elements available were used in the database of the sponsor of the institutions surveyed and the results of the questionnaire , and the qualitative data were obtained through document analysis and interviews, conducted from the Technical Focus Group . Chapters I and II of the study, a literature review on Higher Education , when it was contextualized their development in the country , and the role of the State in this process is presented . In this history , discusses the expansion occurred in higher education from the colonial period until the first decade of the 2000s , and emphasizes the growth that occurred from the '90s ( a period marked by neoliberal scenario) and the occurrence of its elitism in the country, being shown the exclusionary character of our society . Chapter III discusses the process of elitism and exclusion in access to higher education , highlighting the difficulties faced by young people from families that have a low income. In this neoliberal context, we sought to delineate the profile of this new student , which is different from the characteristics of students who attend historically higher education . For field work , whose results are shown in Chapter IV , 03 were chosen (three) educational units of one of the largest sponsors of Higher Education Institutions in the country . As students , we selected students enrolled in the College of Technology in Human Resource Management in the institutions that entered through Financial Aid ( FIES ) , and / or the University for All Program ( Prouni ) . In this chapter , including a brief history of institutions , presents and discusses the results to be obtained through the database of the sponsor , institutional documents , the questionnaires and interviews, enabling characteristic that comprise the profile of the new student of higher education , located in a neoliberal context , as well as state institutions and the courses they attend . Final Thoughts on resumes to contextualize the scenario that hindered the access of young people from low income to higher education , and proves that the expansion of such access brought new inequalities between different social classes , by adopting mechanisms that maintains the characteristics of a capitalist society

A Ação Integralista Brasileira constituiu-se na década de 1930, no mais importante movimento político de direita e no primeiro partido de massa do país. Influenciada pela ideologia fascista italiana, a A.I.B. criou núcleos espalhados por todo o Brasil, como na cidade de Olímpia, encravada nos anos 30 no então sertão de São Paulo. O núcleo municipal da Ação Integralista foi fundado em 1934 por Ruy do Amaral e teve no jornal “Cidade de Olympia” uma espécie de porta-voz não oficial do movimento. Entre 1932 e 1937, o semanário publicou 93 artigos e notícias dos mais diversos matizes sobre o movimento integralista, inclusive uma contundente entrevista com Plínio Salgado. É a partir da análise desses artigos e notícias e da história oral de dois dos principais camisas-verdes do sertão, Ruy do Amaral e Ítalo Galli, que tornou-se possível reconstruir parte da história de um núcleo municipal da Ação Integralista no interior do país. Tanto os textos escritos como as entrevistas, apresentam um movimento impregnado pelo fascismo e pelo anti-semitismo. A maioria dos camisas-verdes que escreveram artigos para o “Cidade de Olympia”, deixou clara sua adesão à A.I.B. por considerar o movimento uma cópia do fascismo e por adotar a posição anti-semita. Por outro lado, o movimento integralista em Olímpia ignorou o fato de atuar numa região de vida rural e teve uma inserção no campo insignificante. Mesmo portador de um discurso fascista, os integralistas do sertão, profissionais liberais em sua maioria, preferiram elitizar esse discurso, desprezar ações de mobilização das massas e perpetuar uma relação de “compadrio” com os coronéis que dominavam a vida política em Olímpia, constituindo, assim, uma espécie de “fascio de intelectuais”.
The Brazilian Integralist Action was formed in the decade of 1930, at the most important right political movement and at the first mass party of the country. Influenced by the Italian Fascist Ideology, the Brazilian Integralist Action created cores spread all over Brazil, like in the city of Olimpia, embedded in the 30s, then called “Sertão” (a less inhabited part in a country) of São Paulo. The Integralist Action Municipal Core was founded in 1934 by Ruy do Amaral and had in the newspaper “Cidade de Olympia” a type of non-official spokesman of the movement. Between 1932 and 1937, the weekly paper published 93 articles and news of the most diverse shades about the integralist movement, including an aggrieved interview with Plínio Salgado. It is from the analysis of these articles and news and the oral history of two of the main “green-shirts” from “Sertão”, Ruy do Amaral e Italo Galli, that it was possible to re-create part of the history of an Integralist Action Municipal Core at the inland country. The written texts, as well as the interviews, present a movement permeated by the Fascism and by the Anti-Semitism. Most of the “green-shirts” who wrote articles for the “Cidade de Olympia”, made clear their adhesion to the Brazilian Integralist Action for considering the movement a copy of fascism and for adopting the anti-semit position. On the other hand, the integralist movement in Olimpia ignored the fact of acting in a rural life region, and had an insignificant insertion in the country life. Even holding a fascist speech, the integralist from “Sertão”, liberal professionals mostly, preferred to select this speech, disregard mass mobilization actions and perpetuate a “compadrio”relation (close relation) with the Colonels who dominated the political life in Olimpia, building up, this way, a kind of “intelectual fascio”.

nÃo hÃDesde sua gÃnese, a educaÃÃo superior brasileira vem sendo referenciada como palco das elites. Nas Ãltimas dÃcadas, todavia, polÃticas democratizantes de acesso universitÃrio, ao sugerirem ingresso de discentes menos abastados, anteveem reversÃo desse cenÃrio. Entre as alicerÃadas nos processos seletivos, destacam-se a substituiÃÃo do tradicional vestibular pelo ENEM/SISU e seu ajuste à compulsÃria polÃtica de cotas, que atuam no sentido de diminuir a influÃncia das posiÃÃes de classe nas possibilidades de acesso Ãs IFES, das quais a UFC à parte integrante. Sob uma perspectiva social da educaÃÃo, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar os efeitos que tais mudanÃas nos certames de admissÃo de calouros exerceram sobre os nÃveis de elitizaÃÃo em Ãmbito institucional e dos cursos superiores da UFC. De natureza descritiva e abordagem quantitativa longitudinal, a pesquisa baseou-se na Teoria das Elites de Pareto para estabelecer indicadores numÃricos, denominados Ãndices de elitizaÃÃo, Ãteis à verificaÃÃo de tendÃncias des(elitizantes) no campo acadÃmico. As variÃveis socioeconÃmicas que subsidiaram a obtenÃÃo dos Ãndices disseram respeito à renda familiar; ao tipo de escola de ensino fundamental e mÃdio; e à instruÃÃo paterna e materna do alunado ingressante na universidade nos anos de 2010, 2012 e 2013. Do ponto de vista institucional, os resultados das anÃlises apontaram que a adesÃo ao ENEM/SISU nÃo ocasionou mudanÃa considerÃvel no nÃvel de elitizaÃÃo da UFC. Em momento posterior, o advento das cotas sujeitou-a a uma leve deselitizaÃÃo. PÃde-se deduzir, conquanto, que a deselitizaÃÃo ocorreria de forma mais acentuada se o quesito renda familiar, em vez do tipo de escola de ensino mÃdio, aparecesse como critÃrio principal na seleÃÃo dos cotistas. No que se refere ao primeiro grupo de cursos investigados, os imperiais (Direito, Medicina e Engenharia), verificou-se que tanto o ENEM/SISU quanto o sistema de cotas deselitizou-os quase que na Ãntegra. Jà com relaÃÃo ao outro ajuntamento de cursos, os de licenciatura, observou-se que o ENEM/SISU repercutiu de forma contrÃria à esperada, pois os sujeitou à elitizaÃÃo; Ãs cotas, por sua vez, coube reverter essa tendÃncia elitizante consubstanciada no perÃodo anterior. Neste tÃpico tambÃm foi possÃvel atinar para um efeito acessÃrio advindo da aplicaÃÃo da polÃtica de cotas: o abrandamento da autoexclusÃo; fenÃmeno que distancia indivÃduos mais humildes dos certames de acesso Ãs IES.
Since its genesis, the Brazilian higher education has been referred to as the stage of the elites. In recent decades, however, democratizing policies of academic access, suggesting the inflow of less affluent students, anticipate a reversal of this scenario. Among the policies grounded in the selection process, stands out the replacement of the traditional selection examination for the ENEM/SISU and its adjustment to the compulsory quota policy , which act to reduce the influence of class position in the possibilities of access to the IFES , of which the UFC is an integral part. From a social perspective of education, this study aimed to identify the effects that such changes in the freshmen\\\'s contests of admission had on the levels of gentrification at the institutional scope and of the higher courses of the UFC From descriptive nature and quantitative-longitudinal approach, the research was based on the Pareto\\\'s Theory of Elites to stablish numeric indicators, called rates of gentrification, useful for checking the de(gentrificational) trends in the academic field. The socioeconomic variables that supported the achievement of indexes concerned the family income. type of school of middle and high education; and maternal and paternal education from the entrant student body at the university in 2010, 2012 and 2013. From the institutional point of view, the results of the analysis showed that adherence to ENEM/SISU caused no change in the level of gentrification of the UFC. Thereafter, the advent of quotas subjected to a mild degentification. These results suggest, however, that such process would occur more sharply if the requisite household income, rather than the type of high school, appeared as the main criterion in the selection of the shareholders. With regard to the first group of courses studied, the imperial (Law, Medicine and Engineering), it was found that both ENEM/SISU as the quota system degentificate them almost in their entirety. In relation to the assembly of other courses, degree courses, it was observed that the ENEM / SISU reverberated in a manner contrary to the expected, since subjected them to gentrification; the quotas, on the other hand, reversed this degentificate trend embodied in the previous period. In this topic was also possible to fathom for incidental effect arising from the implementation of quotas: the slowdown of self-exclusion; phenomenon that distance humblest individuals of contests for access to the IES.

This study examines the manifestation of New Urbanism in the South African environment and applies the themes, characteristics and principles of New Urbanism to the landscape of Melrose Arch in Johannesburg. This precinct has been developed according to New Urban principles, and it is the aim of the author to assess whether these principles have been applied successfully, keeping in mind that since New Urbanism is an American design movement, some of its principles may be impractical to apply in a South African environment. In order to conceptualise the environment in which the analysis takes place, the author sketches a background of the origin and history of Johannesburg, including the development of the city centre and rise of the suburbs. Trends such as decentralisation and gentrification are also recognised and examined. A correlation is drawn between the Johannesburg of a few decades ago and the contemporary city to see how events and tendencies created the city of today. The current initiatives that are being undertaken to reinvent the CBD and other areas of the city are considered as well, in order to provide a context for Melrose Arch. The author also briefly examines the origin and history of leisure landscapes such as arcades, world fairs and expositions, shopping malls and themed landscapes. The purpose is not to give exact timelines and histories of these phenomena, but rather to provide a historic foundation to work from in order to sketch the context wherein developments such as Melrose Arch can be situated. The author examines the predecessors of and influences on New Urbanism in an attempt to understand this movement. Starting with the Classical Reformers and the concept of the Ideal City, a common theme runs through several other development theories, such as Garden Cities, Pedestrian Cities, as well as the more recent Edge Cities. The influence of Sprawl on cities is noted, and measures to reduce the occurrence of sprawling land by implementing solutions that are connected to New Urbanism are discussed. The author discusses the inception of New Urbanism, taking into account all the previous discussed development theories that influenced it in one way or another. Additionally, some variations on New Urbanism, such as Traditional Neighbourhood development (TND) and the Pedestrian Pocket (PP) are discussed. New Urbanism is thus placed in a contemporary context by regarding its history and influences. The application to Melrose Arch includes a brief history of this landscape, as well as its architecture and the articulation of space within the precinct. Some themes evident in Melrose Arch are discussed; many of these are based on popular myths and ideologies and how they are represented in this particular space. Issues such as Security and control, Class and status, Consumption and Utopianism are discussed and applied to Melrose Arch. Finally, the principles and characteristics of New Urbanism are applied to Melrose Arch in order to assess how successful the implementation of New Urbanism is in this precinct.Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2007.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to analyse the sport policy process in the Republic of Korea through an examination of the cases of elite sport and sport for all. This study assesses the utility of a number of theoretical frameworks all of which were created either in the North America or Europe. The following macro-level theories are discussed and assessed: Marxism, Elitism and Pluralism. At the meso-level Policy Community (Marsh and Rhodes 1992), Multiple Streams Framework (Kingdon, 1995) and Advocacy Coalition Framework (Sabatier and Jenkin-Smith, 1999) were investigated and their utility in the Korean context was evaluated. Two case studies, elite sport and sport for all, were chosen and qualitative research methods were used in order to gather empirical data. A series of forty three semistructured interviews were undertaken. The first round of interview was conducted between 22nd June 2007 and 11th July 2007 followed by more extensive second round of interviews from 29th November 2007 to 15th June 2008 in Korea. The interviewees included academics, journalists, elite athletes, senior officers in the government and sub-national government, senior officers in national government organisations such as KSC, NACOSA, SOSFO, senior officials in KISS, NGBs, the business sector, the military sector and voluntary organisations such as YMCA. Interview data was supported by extensive analysis of documents including government reports, annual Sport White Papers, newspapers and magazine articles. One of the central findings is that decision-making in relation to high performance (elite) sport policy is dominated by members of the political, business and military elite. High performance sport decision-making is tightly controlled by the government which has been consistently the core actor in Korea's elite sport policy process with there being little evidence of civil society involvement. As regard Sport For All, different levels of government and also non-government organisations were involved in promoting Sport For All. However of particular note is the lack of contact and cooperation between the government and other nongovernment organisations, for example, YMCA in terms of sharing experiences of promoting sport. Despite the involvement of different levels of government and of non-government organisations policy direction and momentum was largely set by the elite level of central government. The analysis reveals that elitism is the most appropriate framework to apply in Korean sport policy at the macro-level. As for the meso-level, none of the three frameworks were considered to be particularly useful although Policy Community appeared to be appropriate in the early stage of the research.

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att utifrån ett lärarperspektiv försöka tydliggöra några värderingar och attityder som finns i Frankrikes och Sveriges läroplaner. Jag undersöker vilken kunskapssyn läraren, lärarstudenten och läroplanerna ger uttryck för i respektive land, vad läroplanen säger om kunskap, mål, riktlinjer och arbetsmetoder, samt hur lärarstudenten och läraren ställer sig till detta. Min studie innefattas också av att titta på hur begreppen «en skola för alla» och «en elit av staten» kan tolkas till min undersökning. Bakgrundskapitlet bidrar med en historisk återblick om hur skolan har utvecklats och vilka grundläggande värderingar Frankrikes och Sveriges skola bygger på. Mitt arbete ger en översikt av litteratur som tar upp begreppen «en skola för alla» och «en elit av staten», kunskap och kompetens. Läroplanen ringar in problemområdet och sammanfattar några värderingar och attityder i respektive land. Utgångspunkten är en kvalitativ «fokuserad» komparativ metod. Resultatet för min undersökning pekar på att både lärarstudenten och läraren i respektive land i stor utsträckning följer läroplanens attityder och värderingar gällande kunskap, mål, riktlinjer och arbetsmetoder. Undersökningen tyder också på att läroplanens kunskapssyn representeras av både lärarstudenten och läraren i respektive land och de har flera gemensamma drag. Begreppen «en skola för alla» och en «elit av staten» får ett visst stöd i undersökningen. Det som är intressant är att undersökningen inte talar för att länderna entydigt lutar åt ett visst begrepp.Le but de cette étude est, d’une perspective d’enseignement, d’essayer d’éclaircir quelques estimations et attitudes que l’on peut retrouver dans les programmes d’enseignement en France et en Suède. Je fais des recherches sur la signification du mot «connaissance», du point de vue du professeur et de l’étudiant. Cette étude aborde également ce que le programme d’enseignement suggère au niveau des connaissances, des compétences, la méthode de travail et des directives et ce que le professeur et l’étudiant pensent du sujet. Cette étude tente aussi d’éclaircir comment les notions «une école pour tous» et «une élite d’État» peuvent être interprétées. Le chapitre d’antécédents contribue au retour en arrière du développement historique du système éducatif et des grands principes sur lesquels les écoles françaises et suédoises sont construites. Cette étude donne une vue d’ensemble de la littérature, analysant les notions «une école pour tous» et «une élite d’État» ainsi que les connaissances et les compétences que comprend le programme d’enseignement. Ce dernier cerne la problématique et résume quelques estimations et attitudes retrouvées dans chaque pays. Le point de départ est une méthode qualitative et comparative dite «fixée». Le résultat de mon étude montre que tous deux, l’étudiant et le professeur suivent en grande partie les attitudes et les estimations en ce qui concerne les connaissances, les buts, la méthode de travail et les grandes lignes préconisées par le programme. La recherche indique aussi que les points de vue concernant les connaissances que l’on peut retrouver dans les programmes d’enseignement, sont représentés aussi bien par l’étudiant que le professeur et que ces deux partis ont plusieurs traits en commun. Les idées de «une école pour tous» et «une élite d’État» obtiennent un certain support dans la recherche. Ce qui est intéressant, c’est que la recherche ne parle pas sans équivoque de l’une ou l’autre des idées.
