Abstract:

Due to the mounting rate of patients suffering from PTSD starting at a young age, there have been many studies and guidelines to help improve the conditions of these patients. Though there are many hospitals focusing on treatment of patients suffering from mental diseases, none of these hospitals or clinics concentrate on the welfare of the children suffering from PTSD specifically. The business plan discussed here addresses this concern. It is a healing center “Golden Circle” providing care and treatment to young adults aged between 13–25 years suffering from PTSD especially after road traffic accidents located in Los Angeles County. Golden Circle business plan is proposed to help identify the market trends and areas of concern by studying the company analysis, market potential and demand, competitor analysis, customer analysis, marketing strategy, feasibility and SWOT analysis, legal and regulatory issues and finally the financial analysis. Golden Circle is anticipated to help the society as well as generate good profit.

Abstract:
This master's thesis examines a criminal response to the sharp increase in the real gold price between the years 1998 and 2012. By using a regression analysis, I show that an increase in the real gold price does not have a significant impact on the number of golden crimes but the gold price significantly influences the stolen amount of gold with the elasticity of 2.2. In addition, an increase of lagged real wage and non-lagged real wage, and the number of prisoners significantly decreases golden crime whereas increased unemployment has a negative impact. Moreover, I find that in all types of a regression analysis (daily, monthly and quarterly) higher temperature and also lower cloudiness (as proxies for the good weather) significantly increase the golden crime rate. The daily model also revealed that during weekends and holidays there is significantly and markedly lower crime.

Abstract:
Gyllene snittet har sedan en mycket lång tid tillbaka använts som begrepp för att beskriva en proportion som är behaglig för det mänskliga ögat. Proportionen har dels använts för att formge byggnader och måla konstverk men används som flitigast i den grafiska branshen. Då främst gällande affisher och andra format av trycksaker där det är viktigt att läsaren känner att en harmoni existerar. Webbdesign är ett relativt nytt ämne och handlar om hur en webbsida formges, webbsidor har idag många olika uttryck och funktioner och nästan alla människor i Sverige vet vad en webbsida är och vad man använder den till. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på hurvida användningen av gyllene snittet på webbsidor ändrar användarens upplevelse samt att kartlägga om gyllene snittet används på de tio mest besökta webbsidorna i Sverige. För att svara på syftet har semistrukturerade intervjuer gjorts för att samla in data. Dessa intervjuer har gått ut på att deltagaren fått se och jämföra bilder på webbsidor. En del av bilderna har varit med orginallayout och en del har varit med gyllene snittet applicerat. Deltagarna har fått titta på bilderna en och en men också samtidigt för att kunna jämföra. Studiens intervjuer har fokuserat på känslor kring bilderna, och hur betraktaren uppfattar det som hen sett framför sig.

Abstract:
From 9 November through 15 December, 1992 a bottom mooring consisting of an upward looking acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) and a conductivity-temperature pressure (CTD) instrument were deployed in the Golden Gate. Tidal constituents were derived from least squares fit on pressure and current data. The amplitude of the M2 tide was 0.6 m and 100 cm/s, and primary tidal constituents were about 0.3 m and 20 cm/s. Current profiles were largely barotropic and one dimensional. Overtides and compound tides had amplitudes less than 0.02 m and 5 cm/s but had baroclinic structure and two dimensional hodographs. Tidal currents appear to be hydraulically driven. Mean flow and transport were directed at 110 deg T at 23 cm/s and 45 cu.m/s; indicative of the two dimensional structure of the Golden Gate. Mean energy fluxes at the site were 30,000 W for kinetic energy advection and 8,500,000 W for the work done by pressure. If representative of the channel, they imply a total energy flux of 8. 5 x 1O to the 9th power W through the Gate

Abstract:
Compensation systems are designed by boards of directors to encourage manager performance. Severance packages are intended to provide insurance for the CEO's human value. Frequently, however, severance packages are increased upon termination by boards of directors at will. These non-contractual severance payments are called discretionary severance pay. This study investigates discretionary severance pay at financial institutions surrounding the financial crisis. Financial institutions are of particular interest as they faced unique regulations limiting the amount of severance payable to departing CEOs. There is evidence that the boards of directors engaged in regulatory arbitrage by increasing payments for the consulting and non-compete component of severance pay and decreasing payments for other components of discretionary severance pay.

Abstract:
The purpose of this essay is, from a narratological point of view and also by employing film adaptation theory, to compare the novel The Golden Compass to its film adaptation and examine the narrative elements they have in common and those that are distinct for each medium. The aim is also to critically comment on these elements and to discuss to what extent the changes made affect the story and how it is perceived. The analysis that I have carried out shows that changes have been made regarding the plot order, i.e. sequences have been moved around or even removed in the film adaptation. The portrayal of the characters differs as well; some characters have been condensed while others have been extended to fit into the new frame of narrative. There are also differences in pacing between the original work and the adaptation. However, the changes do not affect the perception of the story and the story works very well in the new narrative structure.

Abstract:
During Spring semester 2011, Linda Engstrom and Malin Heder performed “Golden Ratio”, a thesis which included 22.5 hp. The thesis followed the syllabus for the Degree Project for degree of Bachelor of Science in Innovation and Design Engineering (MSGC12) which was a unit in the Innovation and Design Engineering program within the Faculty of Technology and Science at Karlstad University. The client was Crem International AB, a company located in Åmotfors that develops the design, manufactures and markets coffee machines. The supervisor at the company has been Peter Larsson and supervisor at Karlstad University has been Monica Jakobsson. Examiner for the thesis has been Professor Fredrik Thuvander at the Faculty of Technology and Science at Karlstad University. Crem International AB controls a patent, representing a new technology to streamline and minimize use of energy during the coffee preparation and results in a good coffee quality. The company intends to integrate this technology in a filter coffee maker and a desire for a new design that differs from the traditional form of a filter maker. This specific request was the starting point of this project. When the mission was handed to the group, the filter coffee maker merely existed as a vision termed “Golden Ratio”. The project was highly focused to find as essential material as possible. This was important in terms of developing a form that reflects the needs of the users and the requests and demands on the market. The phase of research during the project has, due to the needs and demands, consisted a thorough market research containing several interviews, observations and analysis by professionals, experts in the coffee segment and coffee machine manufacturers. Through several methods of generating ideas and using Focus groups and individual reflections, the group generated six innovative concepts of a future filter coffee maker. Based on these six concepts the group used three alternative evaluation methods to select the most appropriate solution, this in consultation with the supervisor at the company. The final selection of the concept was a combination of several concepts. The choosen concept was a flexible and sober solution that could be adapted depending the capacity of the environment. The chosen concept consisted of a preparation machine and a tap with an integrated vessel for the brewed coffee. During the concept development the selected concept was visualized by CAD-modelling, a presentationmodel and graphic illustrations. The selected concept included a proposal for the design of a future filter coffee maker and a suggestion of the materials and colors. The developed supplementary list for the concept also showed the group more opportunities for further development.
Under vårterminen 2011 har Linda Engström och Malin Heder självständigt genomfört “Golden Ratio”, ett examensarbete som omfattat 22,5 hp. Examensarbetet har följt kursplanen för Examensarbete för högskoleingenjörsexamen i innovationsteknik och design (MSGC12) vilket var en kurs i Innovations- och designingenjörsprogrammet inom Fakulteten för teknik och naturvetenskap vid Karlstads universitet. Uppdragsgivare har varit Crem International AB, verksamt i Åmotfors. Företaget utvecklar, tillverkar och marknadsför bland annat kaffemaskiner. Handledare vid företaget var Peter Larsson och handledare vid Karlstads universitet var Monica Jakobsson. Examinator för examensarbetet var Fredrik Thuvander, professor inom Fakulteten för teknik- och naturvetenskap vid Karlstads universitet. Ett patent, som Crem International AB skapat, innebar en ny teknik för att effektivisera och minimera energiåtgången vid kaffeberedning samtidigt som det ger en bra kaffekvalitet. Företaget hade för avsikt att integrera denna teknik i en filterbryggare och strävar efter att det sker i en ny utformning som skiljer sig från den traditionella formen på filterbryggare. Detta kom att föranleda projektet. Vid överlämningen av uppdraget existerade den framtida filterbryggaren endast som en vision kallad ”Golden Ratio”, engelska motsvarigheten för “Det gyllene snittet”. Ett särskilt fokus i projektet har varit att ta fram ett så grundläggande researchmaterial som möjligt. Detta för att frambringa en form som avspeglar de behov som fanns hos användarna samt de krav och önskemål som eftersträvas på marknaden. Projektets researchfas har därför bestått av en redogörande marknadsundersökning innehållande flera intervjuer, observationer och analyser med professionella användare, experter inom kaffesegmentet samt tillverkare av kaffemaskiner. Genom flera idégenereringsmetoder och med hjälp av olika fokusgrupper samt egna reflektioner kom gruppen fram till sex konkreta koncept för innovativ utformning av en framtida filterbryggare. Utifrån dessa sex koncept användes tre utvärderingsmatriser för att på ett kvalitativt sätt evaluera fram till den mest relevanta lösningen i samråd med handledaren på företaget. Det slutgiltiga konceptvalet bestod i en kombination av flera koncept. Konceptvalet innebar en flexibel samt sober och minimalistisk lösning genom att den kunde anpassas utefter behovet av utrymme. Konceptvalet bestod av en beredningsmaskin med samhörande kran som visualiserade det färdigbryggda kaffet. Under konceptutvecklingsfasen koncentrerades arbetet mot att visualisera det valda konceptet genom CAD-modellering, presentationsmodell och grafiska illustrationer. Konceptvalet innefattade ett förslag på utformning av en framtida filterbryggare samt ett förslag på material- och färgval. Genom den framtagna tilläggslistan för konceptet påvisade även gruppen fler möjligheter för vidareutveckling.

Abstract:
In spite of the enormous resurgence of critical interest in minor figures of the Victorian era over the last twenty years, almost no attention has been paid to Francis Turner Palgrave (1824-1897). In his own age, he was respected as a man of letters, educator, art critic, poet, friend of Alfred Tennyson, and editor of The Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language, first published in 1861. This dissertation attempts to make good that neglect in two ways: firstly, through an analysis of his life and times, an assessment of his writings as an art and literary critic, an examination of his considerable corpus of original poetry, and the compilation of the first comprehensive bibliography of his own publications. This bibliography is accompanied by a checklist of manuscript sources and a listing of secondary materials about Palgrave himself. Secondly, the dissertation makes the first systematic examination of the Golden Treasury, its genesis and editing principles, its critical reception, and its publication history. This detailed study is accompanied by eight appendices giving bibliographical information about the form and contents of the four major editions of the Treasury published in Palgrave's lifetime, along with a listing of sources and a checklist of contemporary reviews. Throughout the dissertation, the intellectual concerns that led Palgrave to develop a set of fixed principles for judging all art and literature are examined in order to establish that, like his friend Matthew Arnold, he was a committed Hellenist, who insisted that all poetry conform to what he perceived as the "Homeric" ideals of simplicity and unadorned language. The Golden Treasury, in particular, is based on an ideal of "unity" which Palgrave used to justify the many editorial excisions and variant readings which are such a feature of the volume's texts. It is impossible to account fully for the unprecedented success of the Golden Treasury, which has continued to be reprinted in a variety of editions from the time of its first publication until the present, but one of its most important features is that it is the first anthology of English lyric poetry to declare itself complete: Palgrave insisted that the book contained all the best lyrics in the English language. Just as significant is the fact that it is the first anthology by a professional educator who refused to make his selections on the basis of their morally improving qualities, but relied instead on poetic excellence alone. "Francis Turner Palgrave and The Golden Treasury," therefore, attempts to account for the extraordinary success of the Golden Treasury and to examine one of the nineteenth-century's more interesting minor figures, one who was a friend of some of the most brilliant men of his day, including Jowett, Browning, Arnold, Clough, and Gladstone; a recognised minor poet of the "contemplative" school which included Arnold and Clough; and a well-known champion of the Pre-Raphaelite painters.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim in this study was to develop a model for the probability of finding active golden eagle nests during their breeding season. It was done by using environmental variables derived from expert models which were tested against empirical data. This resulted in a habitat suitability index (HSI), which in this case is assumed to indicate the probability of active nests of golden eagles. The study was conducted together with the County Administrative Board of Västernorrland with the purpose to improve golden eagle’s ecological status.To develop the model, different combinations of several explanatory variables were tested in a model selection process, where the most optimal and parsimonious model was chosen. The tested variables have earlier been shown to affect golden eagles, as slope, aspect, forest age, foraging habitat, suitable flight routes, human population density, roads, railways, power lines, wind power plants, hiking trails and clear cuts. The variables where applied in in ArcMAP at three different scales: nest scale (25 x 25 meter), proximate scale (a circle with the radius of 500 meter) and home range scale (a circle with the radius of 8253 meter). A preliminary test of the variables showed that all golden eagle nests were found in slopes with at least 5֯ degreesas well as in home ranges with human population density not more than 8 people/km2. Due to that a stratified analysis wasperformed. The variables where analysed by multiple logistic regression in R, where the occurrence of golden eagles’ nestswas compared towards random points in the landscape. All variables were also tested one by one by logistic regression. Afterperforming the multiple logistic regression, it was possible to apply its equation into ArcMap to obtain suitability maps withHSI values over Västernorrland’s county.The comparisons of different models show that it is better to combine different spatial scales in the model than only using one spatial scale. The result indicate that three different models might be the best, which all had different combinations of slope and aspect at nest scale and power lines at the proximate scale. Two of these models also include hiking trails and human population density, both at home range scale, in their equation. Since it was some unclarity about the causality between hiking trails and human population density, the conclusion was not to choose any of these as the final model. The final model was more parsimonious and had an additive effect from slope and southern aspect at the nest scale and an antagonistic effect from power lines at the proximate scale.This study clarifies that golden eagles’ habitat preferences for nesting sites during their breeding period is steep slopes (at minimum 5֯ degrees) in more southern aspects with few power lines in the proximate area surrounding the nest. Their homeranges are also situated in areas with less than 8 people/km2. The study also pinpoints a potential conflict between golden eagleand wind power planning, as golden eagles prefer steep slopes and remote areas, which also are valuable areas for wind powerplants. Golden eagles’ preference of remote areas also indicate that they might be affected by human persecution, why certainconservation effort should be focused into this issue. Out from the final model, you can find cluster in the landscape where youcan focus conservation management and restrict exploitation. Due to low number of wind power plants in the landscape, nothingcould be concluded about their effect on golden eagle in this study. An advice from the golden eagle’s perspective is to use theprecautionary principle and further plan wind power plants in areas which already have high disturbance, as for example closeto power lines or roads. The result also indicates that forest age from SLU Forest Map is not suitable for telling where to findgolden eagle nests. GIS-data over forest age would facilitate conservation management for plenty of species connected to theforest.Although good statistical results for the final model, cautions need to be taken in general, since neither population viability analysis have been included, nor changes over time in the landscape. Another issue is the low sample size, where a larger sample size would make it possible to perform profound calibration and validation of the data. To develop a more robust model, the advice is to include these into the model and use a larger sample size.

Abstract:
Apres une presentation generale de ces sciences nouvelles que sont l'ethnologie, l'anthropologie, l'ethnographie, une introduction a james george frazer et une mise en lumiere des aspects majeurs du golden bough, il s'agit d'etudier, par une analyse detaillee des oeuvres maitresses de lawrence, l'impact que la lecture du golden bough a pu avoir sur ce dernier. L'oeuvre de lawrence semble etre en effet l'une des plus representatives de l'influence frazerienne. Les mythes de base, les rites, les croyances, les legendes qui constituent l'armature du golden bough ont ete une source d'inspiration indeniable a l'elaboration de la vision imaginaire de d. H. Lawrence. Le mythe essentiel reste celui du "dieu qui meurt" dont les rituels de mort et de resurrection, celebres chaque annee et correspondant au rythme recurrent des saisons, mettent l'accent sur la conception cyclique de l'univers, sur l'interrelation de l'humain et du vegetal, deux aspects fondamentaux de la vision laurencienne
A general introduction to such new fields as anthropology, ethnology and ethnography, to james george frazer and to the controlling ideas of the golden bough includes the preliminary aspects one needs to be familiar with before getting into a detailed discussion on the impact of the golden bough on d. H. Lawrence's selected works. Lawrence has certainly been very deeply affected by his reading of the golden bough. The basic myths, the rites, the legends, the customs and beliefs which constitute the framework of the golden bough have undoubtedly contributed to the shaping of lawrence's imaginative vision of the world. The most important myth is that of the dying and reviving god with its rituals of death and rebirth celebrated every year and closely related to the recurrent rhythm of the seasons. Such a myth, which emphasizes the cyclic conception of the universe and the interrelation of man and the world of nature will help lawrence illustrate his own vision of the world

The Golden Ratio House is primarily an architectural object constructed from a cube, which is the necessary point of origin for this project. Similar to the rules of invention, its purpose lies in its own making. Its rational construction, using the proportion of the golden ratio, produces an autonomous form. The translations and transformations of the cube are dialectic. The resulting form of the House is a product of the logic necessary for its existence.

In order to describe Heliconia psittacorum x Heliconia spathocircinata ‘Golden Torch’ nutritional deficiency symptoms, evaluate macronutrients omission effects on growth, first flower stem characteristics and longevity, greenhouse experiments were conducted under the lacking element technique. The lacking macronutrients treatment reduced growth, shoot tillering and dry weight production compared to the complete nutrient solution treatment. Nutrient symptons occurred as follows: N,K, P, Mg and S. Deficiency symptoms were general chlorosis at – N treatment; slight chlorosis at – P and – S; dark green leaves and necrosis at – K; border chlorosis and necrosis at – Mg. The lack of Ca did not show any visual symptoms.The omission of each macronutrient in the nutritive solution reduced its respective concentration in the plant. Among the evaluated leaves, the concentration tended to a greater reduction in the third leaf. Based on the third leaf macronutrients contents on g kg-1 at the first emitted shoot, the following values were found for complete solution treatment and lacking nutrients treatments, respectively: N =16,28 e 7.87; P = 1,49 e 0, 68; K = 32,68 e 3,26; Ca = 8,76 e 3,38; Mg = 1,75 e 0.70; S = 6,00 e 1,82, at 90 days e N = 24,40 e 5,32; P = 1,32 e 0,46; K = 12,88 e 3,50; Ca = 4,58 e 0,97; Mg = 0,98 e 0,62; S = 4,44 e 1,00, at blooming period. The Heliconia psittacorum x H. spathocircinata ‘Golden Torch’ inflorescence produced under N omission showed a pale orange color and floral stem deformation. N, P and K omission affected stem length, stem diameter, inflorescence length and postharvest longevity, which are considered to be important market characteristics. Macronutrients deficiency reduced floral stem production. Greater postharvest longevity is to be found at higher floral stem dry matter. Carbohydrate ratio in underground parts has positive correlation with floral stem dry matter.
Com o objetivo de descrever os sintomas de deficiências nutricionais, avaliar o efeito da omissão de macronutrientes no crescimento, características da primeira haste floral e longevidade pós-colheita de Heliconia psittacorum x Heliconia spathocircinata cultivar Golden Torch foram conduzidos experimentos em casa de vegetação, mediante técnica do elemento faltante. Os sintomas de deficiência surgiram na seguinte ordem de ocorrência: N, K, P, Mg e S. Os sintomas foram: clorose generalizada em – N; clorose em – P e em – S; folhas verde-escuras e necrose em – K e; clorose ao longo dos bordos com necrose em – Mg. A omissão de Ca não acarretou sintomas visíveis. As omissões dos macronutrientes reduziram o crescimento, perfilhamento e produção de massa seca nas folhas e parte subterrânea das plantas quando comparadas as do tratamento completo. A omissão de cada macronutriente na solução nutritiva ocasionou a redução do seu respectivo teor na planta. Entre as folhas avaliadas, houve tendência à redução destes teores de forma mais acentuada na 3ª folha. Com base nos teores em g kg-1 dos macronutrientes na 3ª folha do primeiro perfilho emitido, encontraram-se os seguintes valores nos tratamentos completo e com omissão, respectivamente:N = 16,28 e 7.87; P = 1,49 e 0, 68; K = 32,68 e 3,26; Ca = 8,76 e 3,38; Mg = 1,75 e 0.70; S = 6,00 e 1,82, na fase vegetativa e N = 24,40 e 5,32; P = 1,32 e 0,46; K = 12,88 e 3,50; Ca = 4,58 e 0,97; Mg = 0,98 e 0,62; S = 4,44 e 1,00, na floração. A omissão de N, P e K reduziram o comprimento e o diâmetro da haste, bem como, o comprimento e longevidade pós-colheita da inflorescência características importantes para comercialização. As inflorescências produzidas no tratamento com omissão de N apresentaram coloração laranja pálido e deformação nas hastes florais. As deficiências de macronutrientes diminuiram, ainda, a produção de hastes florais. Foi observada uma maior durabilidade pós-colheita em Hastesflorais com maior massa seca e diâmetro. O teor de carboidrato na parte subterrânea teve correlação positiva com a massa seca encontrada na haste floral.

Abstract

The paper will first of all begin with an introduction where the thesis of the paper will be developed and accounted for. Secondly and before the main analysis begins, a brief explanation about feminism will be clarified in a chapter divided into two sections, one dealing with the history and background of the term while the other section describes the different definitions of the term which hopefully will clarify the meaning if it was not familiar to the reader earlier. Since the term feminism is an important part of this paper, I believe that this chapter is of big importance and as soon as the term is clarified for the reader, it will consequently help the reader to understand the rest of the paper. Especially the section that deals whit the question: what characterizes a feminist novel, since there are similarities and connections between the term feminism and a feminist novel. By understanding the meaning of the term one consequently also gets a clue what a feminist novel can be about.

So therefore it is also necessary to explain the characterizations of a feminist novel, to be able to argue that this novel is feminist as well. Despite the fact that there are hardly any references to critics that ‘define’ a feminist work of art, there are still plenty of praised works that are regarded as feminist. By comparing these praised feminist works with The Golden Notebook it will help to show that this novel is just as feminist as the others. Secondly a section where a short summary of the novel will be accounted for, so the reader can get a little hint of what the novel is all about. Then the actual analysis will follow where the statement will be proved; that the Golden Notebook really is a feminist novel by dividing the arguments into two main sections, one called Family and Home and the other called Love and Relationship where arguments related to these two subjects will be used.

Abstract:
Dans le contexte actuel de crise financière, le recours des Etats membres aux golden shares est révélateur d’un mouvement de protection des entreprises nationales à l’encontre des investisseurs étrangers. Or, ce mécanisme tombe sous le coup des normes de l’Union. De l’application de ces règles émerge un cadre juridique autonome qui soumet ce régime de propriété particulier des Etats membres au respect de la libre circulation des capitaux et de la liberté d’établissement. Si les golden shares ne sont pas interdites per se, le contrôle strict, effectué tant par la Commission que la Cour de justice, souligne la faible marge de manœuvre qui est octroyée aux Etats membres dans l’utilisation du dispositif. Ce contrôle a une double incidence. Il permet, tout d’abord, de souligner certaines incohérences éventuelles qu’une telle analyse pourrait engendrée dans le droit de l’Union. En ce sens, une remise en question des éléments du cadre juridique peut s’avérer fortuite. Il révèle, ensuite, les limites à la constitution d’un véritable marché intérieur. Les Etats membres sont enclins à se réapproprier le dispositif des golden shares par des moyens détournés. Leurs tentatives révèlent un malaise plus profond, celui de la crainte des investissements étrangers dans les entreprises nationales opérant dans des secteurs stratégiques. Se pose alors la question de l’opportunité d’un mécanisme commun de contrôle des investissements étrangers. La réponse à la crise se veut ainsi à l’échelle de l’Union, et plus seulement à celle des Etats membres
In the currrent context of financial crisis, the recourse of Member States to golden shares reveals the ongoing movement to protect domestic firms against foreign investors. This mechanism however falls within the scope of EU norms. From the application of these rules emerges an autonomous legal framework which submit this particular ownership regime of Member States to comply with the free movement of capital and freedom of establishment. If golden shares are not prohibited per se, the strict control undertaken by both the Commission and the Court of Justice only leaves a limited marge de manoeuvre to Member States in the use of such device.This control has a dual incidence. Firstly, it allows to point out some inconsistencies that such analysis could generated in EU law. To that extent, calling into question the elements of the legal framework may be relevant. Secondly, it reveals the limits of the constitution of a truly internal market. Member States are likely to restore the golden shares mechanism by devious means. Their attempts reveal a deeper malaise, the fear of foreign investment in domestic companies operating in strategic sectors. This questions the opportunity of a common instrument to control foreign investment. Response to the crisis must be taken at the level of the European Union, and not anymore at Member States’

An observational study was conducted to determine the most likely explanation of American support for Israel. Several extant hypotheses were considered, most particularly, and at greatest length, that of a pro-Israel domestic lobby in the United States, but also that it had to do with Cold War containment, common values, or precedent. It was ultimately concluded that the domestic lobby hypothesis could not account for American support, since the level of that support correlated negatively with the resources of the lobby, and because sudden, temporary changes in the level of American support did not coincide with any similar changes in the resources of the lobby. Furthermore, statistical analysis indicated that there was on balance no benefit for politicians who supported the lobby's agenda, and no cost for those who opposed it. Likewise, the other explanations also proved unsatisfactory. The containment hypothesis, for instance, could not explain why American support continued after the Cold War ended, while the common values hypothesis could not explain why American support did not begin until 1971, nor why it peaked in 1979 and began to decline in the eighties. Finally, it was concluded that the best explanation of American support was that it gave the United States the leverage to restrain Israeli belligerence, for which the United States was blamed by the Arab states. In this way, the U.S. was able to minimize damage to its relations with the Arabs resulting from the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Abstract:
D'origine anglo-saxonne, la notion de golden parachute a toujours laissé perplexe le législateur, qui n'a jamais tenté de la consacrer dans notre droit français. Usité depuis des dizaines d'années par les sociétés françaises, le golden parachute n'a pour autant jamais été encadré par un corps de règles juridiques précises. Il conviendra donc de lui apporter une définition claire. Souvent utilisé, comme un appât pour attirer ou conserver dans une société des individus jouissant d'un grand prestige professionnel ou de compétences exceptionnelles, il a toujours permis de dédommager un dirigeant ou un cadre qui cesse d'exercer ses fonctions. De nature changeante, incertaine, le golden parachute reste toutefois une pratique que le droit français a bien du mal à appréhender, et dont nous tenterons d'éclairer les contours. Comme il va l'être démontré tout au long de notre étude, la nature juridique du golden parachute est variable, et cela rend inéluctablement difficile la détermination de sa procédure d'octroi. Sa législation apporterait très certainement de la cohérence quant à sa nature juridique, mais également quant à sa procédure d'octroi
Coming from the English-speaking countries, the notion of golden parachute has always let perplexed the lawmaker who has never consecrate it in our law. Used by some french companies since ten years ago, the golden parachute has never been enclosed by some definite rules. Consequently, we should give a real definition. Often used as a bait in order to attract in the company, the high potentials, the golden parachute has always let to indemnify the manager or an important executive who stops his functions. With his changeable nature, the golden parachute stays an useful that the French law has difficulty to study, that's why we are going to temp to throw light on the outlines. As it should be demonstrated throughout the thesis, the legal nature of the golden parachute is changeable and it makes things difficult to determine the procedure. His legalization will bring certainly some coherence in his legal nature and his procedure

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to investigate what the reasons are to the writer's block that the main character Anna Wulf suffers from in Doris Lessing's novel The Golden Notebook. Although there seem to be various reasons for the block, this essay focuses on the three main ones: Anna's need to reflect reality in an objective way, her feeling of futility and her fear of the darkness in the world and within herself. The essay also tries to define what finally causes the block to lift so that Anna is able to write her second novel. It appears to be not only one, but many factors that contribute both to causing and to lifting the block and Anna needs to overcome all the difficulties in order to be able to write again.

Abstract:
This thesis proposes changes to the Golden Lane Estate in central London to integrate the public spaces within the estate with the surrounding city[M1] .   The Golden[M2]  Lane Estate is a modernist housing complex consisting of nine residential buildings with 564 flats. It was built as a council house project in 1952-1962 to satisfy the housing need after the Second World War.   Current observations show that the public spaces at the Golden Lane Estate are mostly empty and spread over different levels increasing the spatial separation. Residents use the large open spaces for transit to or from their flats and visitors are rarely attracted. The modernist layout, where few people share space in front of the entrances to their flats, have affected the perceived ownership of public space at Golden Lane. It is neither perceived as private nor fully public.   I have assumed that the residential buildings should stay intact. They are architecturally and historically valuable and serve their purpose well. The flats are popular and the estate was listed in 1992.   The Golden Lane Leisure Centre is situated in the middle of the estate. In the listing record it is described as a chief example of the architects’ belief that a housing development should not just be a collection of flats but a real part of the city; it provides welcome facilities for those who live outside the estate as well as for residents.   By reviving the Leisure Centre and turning unused garages into offices the two western public spaces are activated and restructured to be attractive to residents and visitors again. The revenue from the commercial spaces can finance an upgrade of the eastern public spaces to be a calm oasis where residents can realise their gardening dreams or office workers have their lunch. Today’s Golden Lane Estate can become a real part of the city with four attractive places adding value for residents, workers and visitors.

Abstract:
A substantial body of science fiction authors, critics and fans appreciate the literary attention the New Wave of the '60s and '70s brought to the genre of science fiction, but regret the seemingly lasting move away from the hard science classics of the '50s and before. They argue that "the hard stuff' is at the very heart of sf and that its future—still on the path set by the New Wave—is ostensibly a dead end. Many important critics along with hundreds of sf fan websites display this fatalistic concern, asking over and over "Is hard science fiction dead?" The answer is no. These reactionaries suffer from a serious case of the Good Old Days Syndrome (not to mention the Good Old Boys Syndrome). A close look at the state of the genre reveals that hard sf is not only alive and well but also that contemporary hard sf is more in line with its critics' definition of hard sf than the very stories they cite as exemplars of it. Contrary to the accusations of noted sf critics, it may well be that a new golden age of sf is dawning, one with an even truer scientific core as well as a commitment to literary quality. This thesis will expose the curious contradiction between the hard and soft / old and new sf. The introduction will examine the definition of hard sf and declarations of its unfortunate demise. Each of three chapters will compare two stories—one from sf s Golden Age and another after the supposed death of the genre. In each, I will show how classic examples of hard sf regularly fail to meet the objective, scientific criteria they purport to uphold and how contemporary stories—even while focusing (to varying degrees) on the political and personal—better espouse the principles of hard sf. Ultimately, it seems that those who descry hard sf s death miss not the technical aspects of hard sf that, even by their definition, distinguish it from softer sf, but the traditional Golden Age values of male dominance, imperialism, and anti-emotionalism. Newer stories' feminism and redefinitions of progress blind conventional readers to their truly hard-core, science-based foundations. The conclusion will consider what hard sf s paradigm shifts mean in terms of our evolving relationship to science. Specifically, in our technological age, science is not merely a field that studies how things work, but a field that can help us to illuminate and interpret our place in the universe. Ultimately, hard science fiction is not dead, it's just doing something different from what it used to.

O objetivo deste estudo foi o de caracterizar lesões musculares em cães com Distrofia Muscular do golden retriever (DMGR), de diferentes idades, por análises histopatológica e imunoistoquímica. Foram utilizados vinte e cinco cães machos classificados e distribuídos em grupos de acordo com a idade: grupo I – distróficos até 1 ano; grupo II – distróficos acima de 1 ano; grupo III - controle até 1 ano; grupo IV - controle acima de 1 ano. Uma amostra de cada músculo foi fixada em solução de formol, processadas pelas técnicas usuais de inclusão em parafina, coradas com HE e TGM para análise histopatológica e processadas para a análise imunoistoquímica de linfócitos T-CD3+, antígeno MHC II e vimentina. Outras amostras foram congeladas em nitrogênio líquido e processadas pelas técnicas usuais para realização das reações imunoistoquímicas para marcação dos linfócitos T-CD4+, TCD8+ e do antígeno MHC I. Os resultados mostraram que as lesões nos músculos distróficos do grupo I foram moderadas comparativamente às do grupo II que foram severas. Nos músculos distróficos, os linfócitos T-CD3+, T-CD4+ e T-CD8+ concentravam-se nas áreas de degeneração e necrose. O número de linfócitos T-CD3+ e T-CD4+ foi significativamente maior (p < 0.05) em todos os músculos distróficos em comparação aos controles, demonstrando a participação dos linfócitos T na doença. O número de linfócitos T-CD8+ foi significativamente maior (p < 0.05) nos distróficos, exceto para os músculos sartório cranial no grupo I, diafragma e bíceps femoral no grupo II. A imunoexpressão do MHC I intensificou-se com a idade nos animais distróficos, ao contrário do MHC II que se manteve.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the lesions in dystrophic muscles of DMGR dogs of different ages, by means of histopathological and immunohistochemistry analysis. Twenty-five male dogs were classified and distributed into groups according to the age: Group I - dystrophic up to 1 year, group II - dystrophic over 1 year, group III - control up to 1 year, group IV - control over 1 year. One sample from each muscle was fixed in formalin solution, processed by usual techniques of paraffin embedding, stained with HE and TGM for histopathological purposes and processed for immunohistochemical analysis of the distribution of T-lymphocytes CD3+, MHC II and vimentin. Other samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen, processed by usual techniques of freezing in order to perform the techniques of immunohistochemical labelling for CD4+ T-lymphocytes, T-CD8+ and MHC I. The results of histopathological analysis showed that the lesions in dystrophic muscles in the Group I were moderate compared to that ones in the Group II which were severe. The CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ Tlymphocytes were more numerous in dystrophic muscles especially in areas of degeneration and necrosis. The number of CD3+ and CD4+ T-lymphocytes was found to be significantly higher (p <0.05) in all dystrophic muscles compared to controls demonstrating the involvement of T-lymphocytes in the disease. The number of CD8+ Tlymphocytes was found to be significantly higher (p <0.05) in dystrophics, except for the cranial sartorius muscles in the Group I and the diaphragm and biceps femoris in the Group II. The immunoexpression of MHC I increased with age in dystrophic animals, in contrast to MHC II that remained the same. The immunoexpression of vimentin and VEGF in the dystrophic muscles was mild (score 1) upon all muscles. From these results we can conclude that in dystrophic muscle immunoexpression of...
