Full textAbstract:
I den aktuella diskussionen om kultur som tillväxtfaktor och Stockholms stads arbete med att bli en internationellt framstående kulturstad har Berlin upprepade gånger använts som ett framgångsrikt exempel. Därför är det intressant att undersöka och jämföra hur de två städernas kulturpolitik har sett ut under de senaste decennierna. Vilka idéer är det som har varit tongivande inom kulturpolitiken och på vilket sätt har dessa påverkat hur kulturpolitiken i respektive stad ser ut som den gör idag?
In the current debate on culture as a contribution to economic growth and Stockholm city’s initiative to develop into a internationally recognized city of culture many comparisons have been made to Berlin. It is therefore interesting to investigate and compare how the cultural policy in the two cities has developed during the last decades. What ideas have been influential in the cultural policy during the last decades and in which way have they affected the way the cultural policy in the two cities is organized today?

Full textAbstract:
This study explores cultural activities aimed at the elderly in two Swedish municipalities, Karlstad and Örebro, and investigate what motivates them. These activities are mainly organized in the area of care or preventive activities. This study shows that these activities are aimed at contributing to a better mental and physical health for the elders. The analysis is based on cultural policy documents and shows that both municipalities’ rationales for their investments in culture for the elderly are founded in a belief that culture contribute to positive social and health benefits. Dorte Skot-Hansen’s dimensions of the humanistic, sociological, and instrumental rationales have been used to analyze the material. When specifically studying the rationales behind implementations, several rationales can be expressed simultaneously and may to some degree overlap.

Full textAbstract:
I föreliggande arbete söker jag sammanfatta den process som fört mig från rollen som utövande instrumentalmusiker till rollen som dirigent. Min metod är den personliga reflektionen med referenser till egna erfarenheter och till några framstående föregångare på dirigentpulten. Jag snuddar vid sociologen Pierre Bourdieus tankar och fokuserar sedan på tre specifika fallstudier. Dessa utgörs av mina reflektioner kring en konsert med Gävle Symfoniorkester då jag var både dirigent och solist, ett samarbetsprojekt mellan KMH och Operahögskolan då jag var dirigent för en operaproduktion samt slutligen mina konkreta förberedelser inför min examenskonsert med Norrköpings Symfoniorkester, då jag dirigerar verk av Brahms och Bartók. Här utgår jag från partituret till ett av verken och redovisar de observationer som ligger till grund för min musikaliska tolkning och för repetitionsarbetet. Jag inleder och avslutar med reflektioner, då jag applicerar mina erfarenheter av och tankar, både personliga och allmänna, om ämnet – instrumentalisten som dirigent.1.

Miller, Marian M. "Adult development : traits of instrumentality and expressiveness." Virtual Press, 1987. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/514538.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to examine significant change, if any, in instrumental and expressive traits during adulthood. The research was designed to test the assumption that chronological age and psychosocial stage are related to instrumentality and expressiveness.The present study utilized the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) and a personal information questionnaire. The research question was: Are there differences in traits of instrumentality and expressiveness at different stages of adult development?Three hundred sixty-three men and women between the ages of 20 and 70 participated in the study. The sample included 164 men and 197 warren. Participants were members of volunteer organizations. They were assigned to different groups based on age and psychosocial development.Four 3 x 3 Analyses of Variance procedures were performed. There were three levels of age: (1) 20-35, (2) 36-50, and (3) 51-70. Categorization of psychosocial stage included: (1) no children, (2) children from birth to graduation from high school, and (3) all children graduated from high school. Sex was not combined, rather separate analysis was performed on each sex. The dependent variables were expressiveness and instrumentality as defined by scores on the Personal Attributes Questionnaire. The following effects were studied:(1) Effects of age and psychosocial stage on traits of instrumentality in men.(2) Effects of age and psychosocial stage on traits of expressiveness in men.(3) Effects of age and psychosocial stage on traits of instrumentality in women.(4) Effect of age and psychosocial stage on traits of expressiveness in women.The results of the research indicated that traits of instrumentality and expressiveness in men and women do not change significantly during adulthood. No significant differences were found in men or women with regard to age and psychosocial development on traits of instrumentality and expressiveness.

Vest, Michael J. "Factors influencing instrumentality beliefs in a merit pay environment." Diss., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1988. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/87681.
Full textAbstract:
This research attempts to identify factors which may influence instrumentality beliefs in a merit pay environment. Specifically, the purpose was to investigate the relationship of: (1) of perceived performance appraisal accuracy, merit increase satisfaction, trust in top management, and trust in supervisor to instrumentality beliefs, (2) of performance appraisals, deviations between self and supervisor ratings of performance, and trust in supervisor to perceived performance appraisal accuracy, and (3) merit pay increases and perceived relative size of merit pay increase to merit increase satisfaction.
The research site for this study was a large transit authority on the West Coast. Results of this study of 1,260 managerial, professional, and clerical employees suggest that individuals are more likely to believe that pay is tied to performance if they are satisfied with their merit pay increase and they trust top management. Findings also suggest that for individuals who receive a lower than expected performance appraisal, higher levels of perceived performance appraisal accuracy are likely to be associated with stronger beliefs that pay is tied to performance.
Findings further suggest that individuals are more likely to perceive their performance appraisal to be accurate if the supervisor rating of performance is consistent with their self-rating of performance and they trust their supervisor. Also, the higher the performance appraisal, the more likely an individual is to perceive it to be accurate. Finally, individuals are more likely to be satisfied with their merit pay increase if they perceive it to be large relative to the average pay increase. In addition, the larger the merit pay increase, the more likely an individual is to be satisfied with it.
Study findings in total suggest that a large number of employees are likely to believe that pay is not tied to performance. To the extent successful merit pay programs require strong beliefs that pay is tied to performance, findings cast doubt about the ability of merit pay to elicit improved job performance. Implications for compensation practice are discussed and suggestions for future research are presented.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
This study is concerned with variables that might influence substance use by women in non-traditional managerial occupations; a group at risk as a consequence of stressful and isolated work circumstances. The study examined the relationship between substance use and stress (daily hassles), perceived social support and work support, family history of alcohol abuse, friends' drinking behaviour and sex-role style.
The Substance Use and Significant Others Scale was developed to measure use of alcohol, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, nicotine, and food, as well as the alcohol-using history of the family of origin and the drinking behaviour of current friends. The validity of this instrument was supported through a pilot study involving 113 male clients and 61 female clients from a drug and alcohol out-patient counselling centre and from the Aurora Treatment Centre, and 59 female managers from non-traditional occupations. A one-way multivariate analysis of variance with the five substances, family history of alcohol use and friends' drinking behaviour as dependent measures indicated a significant multivariate group effect. Post hoc analysis, using Scheffie's tests, comparing managers and female drug and alcohol clients, indicated significant group differences for the measures of alcohol, smoking, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, and family background of alcohol abuse. Comparison of the managers group with male drug and alcohol clients indicated group differences for the five substances, the family history, and for current friends' drinking behaviour. Internal consistency analysis in the pilot study led to the removal of the item on eating in the calculations of substance use.
Participants for the study were volunteers involved in a longitudinal study on stress and coping. Eighty women from managerial non-traditionnal occupations in the Greater Vancouver area completed two questionnaire packets containing several instruments. Those of interest to this study were the Hassles Scale, the Social Support Scale, the Work Relationship Index, the Bern Sex Role Inventory and the new Substance Use and Significant Others Scale. Data on sex-role style and social support were collected one month prior to data on daily hassles, work support, substance use and significant others. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted with substance use as the criterion variable. The regression equation reached signifance, F(3,76) = 6.84, p<.01, and accounted for 21% of the variance in substance use. Family history of alcohol abuse, hassles, and friends' drinking behaviour were positively related to substance use. Implications for further research and for counselling are discussed. The findings contribute to the knowledge about the relationship between daily stress, social and work support, family and friends' drinking behaviour, sex-role style, and substance use in managerial women.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Although Instrumentality and Expressivity scores have been shown to be powerful intrapersonal predictors of reported relationship satisfaction and adjustment, conceptual models exploring the mechanisms by which Instrumentality (I) and Expressivity (E) influence intimate relationships are few. The results presented in this thesis are derived from two studies, each using survey research methods and the little-used Bem Sex Role Inventory Short-Form (BSRI-SF). Study 1 (N = 75 couples) examined several statistical and methodological issues in using the short form BSRI in couples research. Study 2 (N = 119 couples) provided a preliminary evaluation of a model in which it was proposed that the relations among Instrumentality (I), Expressivity (E), and relationship adjustment are mediated in part by interpersonal processes related to couple conflict resolution (CR) and maintenance and enhancement of intimacy (MEI). A number of gender-specific findings were obtained. The proposed model was supported using a path analytic approach comparing the direct model of IE with the mediator model. Specifically, variance in men's reported levels of dyadic adjustment covaried with their own levels of Instrumentality, Expressivity, and self-reported intimacy and conflict behaviour. Variance in women's reported levels of dyadic adjustment covaried in a complex fashion with their own and their partners' scores. Across couple-related variables (DAS, CR, and MEI), results generally supported a main effects model (i.e., significant statistical prediction from Instrumentality scores and/or Expressivity scores), but not an interactional model (Instrumentality times Expressivity). Results indicated that use of the BSRI-SF's nonconfounded Instrumentality and Expressivity subscales can be valuable in model testing in couples research. It is suggested that the short-form provides ease of interpretation compared to the controversial long-form BSRI. Gilligan's theory of gender-specific developmental tasks is proposed as a framework for understanding the gender-specific correlational patterns which emerged.

Providence, Cheryl Jepsen. "Effects of instrumentality and expressiveness on women's preferences for multiple life-career roles." Virtual Press, 1993. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/897474.
Full textAbstract:
Based on Super's (1990) developmental model of career development and Spence and Helmreich's (1978) gender identity theory, this study examined the relationship between the gender-related traits of instrumentality and expressiveness and women's preferences for multiple life-career roles. Super (1990) suggested that a career, as represented by the major life roles of student, worker, citizen, homemaker, and leisurite, is influenced by sex role stereotyping and individual differences. It was hypothesized in this project that gender role orientation (levels of instrumentality and expressiveness) would have an effect on women's role preferences.Adult women (N = 100) from three medium-sized midwestern communities were recruited from churches and community sororities. The women ranged in age from 20 to 82, with a mean age of 44.8 years. A response rate of 53%% was obtained. Role preferences, as expressed by women's participation, commitment, and value expectations, were measured by Nevill and Super's (1986) Salience Inventory (SI). Gender role orientation was assessed by Spence and Helmreich's (1974) Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ). Scores on the PAQ were grouped into the categories ofandrogynous, instrumental, expressiveness, and undifferentiated by the median split technique. A demographic questionnaire was also administered.The demographic variables were grouped conceptually into five categories: personal, occupational, role satisfaction, parental influence, and spousal support for the purpose of preliminary analyses. Results of these analyses (Pearson Productmoment correlations, canonical correlations, and discriminant function analyses) revealed that personal and role satisfaction variables may moderate women's gender role orientation and role preferences. The main analyses were then conducted with three separate between-subjects MANOVAs. Although the results of the MANOVAs involving women's participation and commitment to multiple life-career roles were nonsignificant, another MANOVA involving women's value expectations was significant. Post-hoc procedures indicated that androgynous women had greater expectations of achieving their values in their work role than did instrumental women. It was also found that androgynous women had higher value expectations in the community and home roles than did undifferentiated women.A number of theoretical, empirical, and counseling implications were discussed. Limitations of the study were discussed in terms of the sample characteristics and the statistics employed.Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Antoni, Anne. "On relationship quality and ethical issues at work : navigating between care and instrumentality." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2017. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/103278/.
Full textAbstract:
Good relationships at work are thought to enhance various symbolic and material benefits, such as well-being, assistance on the job, and other resources. However, more research is needed to understand the intricacies between the quality of work relationships and organisational context. Therefore, this thesis adopts a social constructionist view to explore how people construct a quality of relationships at work. Moreover, to examine how people make sense of a ‘good’ way to behave with each other at work, this study investigates the construction of ethical issues at work. While research on ethical behaviours highlighted the role of intuitive processes, more research is needed to understand how these intuitive processes play a role in the construction of ethical awareness. The quality of work relationships is a quotidian phenomenon and has an ambiguous ethical meaning. Hence, work relationships is a way to study of the construction of ethicality in work organisations. A naturalistic multiple case study is adopted to investigate the phenomenon of work relationships in context. The researcher conducted in- depth qualitative inductive studies in two work organisations in France, including observations (330 hours of nonparticipant observations, 14 hours of audio and video recordings), interviews (45 participants), and questionnaires (N=106). Data was analysed separately, then compared in order to build theory on the construction of the quality of work relationships and underlying ethical issues. Findings show that relationships at work are a site of conflicting responsibilities: to care for work and to care for co-workers. The ethical meaning that people ascribe to the quality of work relationships is primarily related to individuals’ responsibility for the work, trumping a responsibility for co-workers. However, the salience of personal life at work increases the tension felt between caring for work and caring for co-workers. This tension can be rationalised into the belief that both caring obligations are complementary instead of competitive. This research shows that affects play a critical role in the issue construction phase and evidences the role of implicit processes at the collective level. The thesis contributes to research on work relationships in three ways. Firstly, this study demonstrates that the organisational context shapes the quality of work relationships, which reside in the interplay between care and instrumentality. Secondly, previous research was fragmented on the definition of work relationships, thus this research presents a typology of good relationships at work with an empirical definition. Thirdly, this study draws on an ethics of care to add to understanding care in organisations by showing how workplace instrumentality hinders the possibilities to care for co-workers. Thus, the thesis critically considers the role of work organisations on social welfare.

Full textAbstract:
Six Ira Sullivan performances were analyzed from studio and live recordings spanning the years 1962 to 1998. Sullivan plays different musical instruments on five of the six selections: trumpet, flute, tenor saxophone, alto saxophone (2 selections), and soprano saxophone. Musical facets considered include phrasing (length/placement), melodic contour, lyricism, harmonic phenomenon, and concept of sound. Common musical threads within Sullivan's improvisations were expected to be found throughout all performances. A call and response dynamic across myriad musical fundamentals such as melody, harmony, and rhythm was found to be present and seems to form a basis for much of Ira Sullivan's improvisations. This and other broad traits common to Sullivan's improvisations are presented herein through analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse en sociologie propose l’analyse d’un processus de mutations qui a pris forme au sein du secteur social et médico-social français : celui des personnels de statut cadre, salariés par les associations qui composent ce champ d’activité intégré à l’action publique. Si, en interne de ce secteur, les fonctions salariales d’encadrement ont été construites comme des prolongements des métiers sociaux, plusieurs éléments ont fait évoluer cette situation. Tandis que les luttes en faveur de l’obtention de statuts pour les cadres ont longtemps demeuré un moyen pour affermir la stabilité du travail social tout entier, elles se sont progressivement autonomisées des revendications portées par les professionnels de métier. Parallèlement, une nouvelle structure managériale s’est déployée, fondée sur une dissociation entre l’encadrement opérationnel du travail social et un nouveau management à distance préposé à la gestion de l’activité. Enfin, bien que les cadres du social soient longtemps restés attachés à des identités relativement proches de celles des travailleurs sociaux, de nouvelles subjectivités sont finalement apparues.Suivant l’hypothèse de ce travail, ces métamorphoses résultent d’un processus de désencastrement de ce secteur vis-à-vis de l’ancrage sociohistorique qui l’avait engendré. Initialement lié au « traitement social de la question sociale », le champ professionnel du social fait l’objet d’une réélaboration à l’aune d’une logique néolibérale immiscée au coeur de l’action publique. C’est au sein de cette transformation que s’inscrit la production d’un univers en soi, celui des cadres, en cours de déconnexion vis-à-vis du travail socialThis doctoral thesis in sociology aims to provide the analysis of a process of change that has taken shape in the French social and medico-social sector. More precisely, this analysis will focus on staff members with managerial status employed by public action associations that are part of this field of activity. Even though internally in this sector, managerial salary positions have been constructed as extensions of social professions, several elements have impacted this situation. Whereas the struggles to obtain status recognition for managers have long been a means to reinforce the stability of social work as a whole; they have progressively gained autonomy from demands made by social practitioners. Simultaneously, a new managerial structure has developed and was based on a dissociation between operational management of social work and a new remote management responsible for activity administration. Finally, although social executives have for a long time been linked to identities that are relatively close to those of social workers, new subjectivities have finally emerged. According to the hypothesis of this PhD study, these metamorphoses stem from the disembedding of this sector toward the socio-historical anchorage which had caused it. This professional field is inextricable linked to the “social treatment of the social question” and it is being reworked through a neoliberal logic at the very heart of public action. This is within this transformation that the production of a domain in itself—that of managers—is being disconnected from social work

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the Templo Santa Muerte in Los Angeles, a small, loosely organized spiritual group dedicated to the veneration of La Santa Muerte, or the Holy Death. Although originating in the urban barrios (neighborhoods) of Mexico City, Santa Muerte is now venerated in the southwestern United States as well, primarily among working-class Mexican Americans. Although Santa Muerte has been condemned by the Catholic clergy and vilified in mass media and popular culture for its ties to crime and gang violence, my fieldwork at the Templo Santa Muerte demonstrates that not all devotees of Santa Muerte can be characterized in this way. For Templo members, Santa Muerte is foremost a supernatural instrument whose appeal is in large part derived from her singular commitment to satisfying their corporeal needs and material wishes. While this quality is also attributed to many Catholic saints, Santa Muerte is believed to operate independently of Church orthodoxy and is viewed to be more powerful because of this. The Templo Santa Muerte, on the other hand, incorporates some features of formal Catholic liturgy while simultaneously organizing its services around the individual petitions of its members. In doing so, the Templo’s founders maintain an effective balance between liturgical features familiar to their mostly Catholic members and the fundamentally instrumental relationship they have with Santa Muerte. I argue that this balance is central to the appeal of the Templo and to the logic of its founders, who took advantage of the tolerant and diverse cultural atmosphere of Los Angeles to establish a spiritual enterprise that is truly the first of its kind. My methodology and theoretical approach acknowledges this, favoring an ethnographic examination grounded in respondent testimonies, direct observations, and relevant ethnohistorical interpretations of the symbolism and ritual behavior associated with Santa Muerte. At its most general, my analysis of the cult and Templo of Santa Muerte is framed around three separate but mutually interactive and informative dimensions: the instrumental and social manifestations of the cult and Templo, respectively, and the structuring influence that Catholic soteriology and cultural materialism exerts over both.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail doctoral a pour but d’étudier la manière dont l’auto-efficacité perçue et les réactions des participants post-formation interviennent dans le transfert des apprentissages en entreprise. Il a été mené au sein d’une industrie de la santé, Sanofi France, dans le cadre d’une subvention CIFRE (Conventions Industrielles de Formation par la Recherche). Le changement de comportement des employés à la suite d’une formation est un véritable enjeu pour les entreprises qui reconnaissent dans le développement des compétences individuelles le moyen d’assurer la performance organisationnelle. Cependant, le transfert des apprentissages est un processus dynamique complexe qui dépend des aptitudes cognitives et métacognitives de l’individu à réguler son comportement. C’est pourquoi cette thèse s’appuie sur une perspective agentique pour développer un modèle des processus motivationnels du transfert au travers de six études. Trois études ont contribué au développement d’une échelle d’efficacité autorégulatrice du transfert des apprentissages, d’une échelle d’auto-efficacité en anglais et d’un questionnaire de satisfaction multimodale adaptée à tous types de formation. La relation entre les différentes perceptions des apprenants a été explorée au cours de deux études longitudinales, contribuant ainsi à la validation d’un modèle axé sur une approche expectation-valeur du transfert des apprentissages à froid au cours d’une étude bilan. La valeur instrumentale de la formation, estimée au travers des perceptions d’utilité, s’avère être la composante médiatrice principale de la réussite du changement de comportement dans le contexte professionnelThe aim of this doctoral work conducted within the group Sanofi France and supported by the French National Association of Research and Technology (CIFRE convention) was to study how perceived self-efficacy and participants’ post-training reactions intervene in the transfer of learning in the workplace. Employees’ post-training change of behavior is a real challenge for the companies who recognize that individual skill development is a mean to ensure organizational performance. However, learning transfer is a complex dynamic process which depends on the person’s cognitive and metacognitive abilities to regulate his/her behavior over time. Hence, this thesis draws on an agentic perspective to develop a model of the motivational processes involved in on-the-job learning transfer, thanks to six studies. Three studies were conducted to develop and validate a learning transfer self-regulatory efficacy scale, a questionnaire of professional English self-efficacy, and a measure post-training reactions. The relationship between the different perceptions of learners was explored during two longitudinal studies, leading to the validation of a model of far transfer based on expectation value theories in a final study. The instrumental value of training, assessed through perceived utility, turns out to be the main mediator of successful behavior change in professional settings

Full textAbstract:
Youth violence and aggression are significant problems facing today’s society. While most young offenders commit relatively minor crimes, a small proportion is involved in more serious, violent crimes. Previous explanations of participation in violence indicate that psychopathy is a robust predictor of aggressive behaviours for both adult (e.g., Walsh & Walsh, 2006) and youth offenders (e.g., Flight & Forth, 2007). Woodworth and Porter (2002) proposed a selective impulsivity hypothesis to reconcile the psychopath’s impulsive nature and propensity for goal-directed violence. Specifically, they suggested that as the severity of crime increases, psychopaths will actively monitor their impulsive tendencies, employing less reactive violence when the consequences are highest (for example, when committing homicide) (Agar, 2009; Woodworth & Porter, 2002). The current investigation is the first to directly test this hypothesis in violent youth offenders. Using a sample of 100 young offender files from British Columbia, the results supported the selective impulsivity hypothesis in youths. Of particular interest, a relationship between the interpersonal features of psychopathy and instrumental violence was revealed. Interpersonally callous traits were related to an increase in use of instrumental violence. Findings are discussed in light of current theories of aggression, and suggestions for future directions are considered.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium - MABetween the 1917 Russian Revolution and demise of the Soviet Union, the communist Other, as godless deviant and arch enemy of the capitalist state, inhabited a specific space in the minds and imaginations of much of the Western world. S/he was one to be feared, one to be guarded against, and if possible, one to be suppressed by political, ideological, or military means. Such conditions contributed to the widespread suppression and banning of communist and communist aligned organisations. In South Africa this coincided with the rise of Afrikaner nationalism, and the consolidation and reconfiguration of 'white' supremacy in the form of apartheid. After a marginal National Party (NP) victory in 1948, the Suppression of Communism Act (1950) and the 'Rooi Gevaar' became synonymous with dissent and revolution within and beyond the apartheid state. For example, it was on these grounds that a series of high profile political trials – the Treason, Rivonia, and Fischer Trials – would be fought and lost on the first occasion. Each trial was based upon the assertion that the accused were communists or involved in a Soviet conspiracy that intended to depose the apartheid government through violent revolution. Conversely, communism is now popularly invoked in relation to narratives of struggle and the ‘triumph of the human spirit over adversity', in which new and now old allies defeated the evil of apartheid, and ushered in an era of freedom, democracy, and reconciliation. As a result, communism and the SACP (the dominant political organisation associated with communism) have been incorporated into national histories that narrate the African National Congress' (ANC's) struggle and victory over apartheid, which culminated in Nelson Mandela and other political leaders returning to supposedly fulfil their destiny by ‘freeing the people’ from totalitarian rule.Having said this, I argue that the suppression of communism goes far beyond the limiting horizons of popularised political and ideological discourse, or indeed, violent acts of torture and murder directed towards those deemed to be a threat to the ‘nation’. In other words, debates surrounding communism are not merely representative of the state’s oppressive policies towards anti-apartheid activists, the global conflict between capitalism and communism, or popular narratives of suffering and struggle against apartheid. Alternatively, they were (and are) intimately linked with a nation-building project which, unlike violence sanctioned by the state or reconciled – at least on the surface – through symbolic acts like the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), has been difficult to exorcise, come to terms with, and diminish in the contemporary. Put another way, although communism is intrinsically associated with the class struggle and class politics in South Africa, it was in fact driven by and interwoven with racist ideologies upon which apartheid and British colonialism before that were founded. With these debates in mind, this mini-thesis will attempt to remove communism from conventional discourses and re-place it within debates surrounding nation-building, and the formation of different subjectivities. This will be carried out not only as an attempt to "overcome the limitations of ideology" and further deconstruct legacies of oppression and violence, but also to think with the ways in which different groups perceive, mobilise and appropriate ideology as a means to foreclose resistance and reaffirm and maintain nationalist hierarchies of power within society. This mini-thesis will begin by exploring the ways in which communism has been perceived in South Africa. More specifically, it will consider how the idea of communism was mobilised and appropriated in relation to apartheid's nation-building project. It will also thematically engage with the ways in which mythologies surrounding communism traversed the supposedly rational and irrational worlds, and, in the latter stages of this mini-thesis, will attempt to develop an argument – using Bram Fischer as subject – based upon Jacques Derrida’s notion of the communist spectre, and the importance of the messianic or, more importantly, the prophet in history.

The aim of this study is to understand whether Dörnyei’s (2005, 2009) motivational self system fits well with the language learning motivation of the participants in this Turkish university context The study has been carried out in a university in Western Turkey. In order to answer the research questions, the study has adopted a quantitative research design. The study has been conducted using a 109 item Likert scale questionnaire. The total number of participants in the study is 250. The study includes English prep class participants from the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, the Department of Environmental Engineering, the Department of English Language Teaching, the Department of English Language and Literature and the Department of Biology. The results of the study show that the motivational self system partially fits well with the language learning motivation of the participants in this Turkish university context. As the results suggest, the model needs some modifications in order to fit within this context. The three main components of the motivational self system (ideal L2 self, ought to L2 self, and attitudes toward learning English) are seen to be related to the intended learning efforts of the participants, and are confirmed as distinct independent constructs that measure the different dimensions of L2 motivation. However, the two standpoints, own and other, overlap in terms of instrumentality promotion, instrumentality prevention and family influence. The contribution of attitudes toward learning English to the intended learning efforts of the participants is higher than the ideal L2 self, and the effect of the ought to L2 self is questionable. In addition to this, the study shows that family influence is related to the ought to L2 self, rather than the ideal L2 self, but, contrary to Dörnyei’s (2005, 2009) model, milieu does not have any significant relationship with the ought to L2 self. The results also show that instrumentality has two foci: instrumentality promotion is related to the ideal L2 self, and instrumentality prevention is related to the ought to L2 self. Furthermore, imagination is found to be related to the ideal L2 self, as shown in the motivational self system. The results also suggest that the international community is important instrumentally for the imagined selves of the participants. This result supports the discussion that the international position of English attracts the participants’ future selves as suggested in the L2MSS. Key words: motivational self system; ideal L2 self; ought to L2 self; attitudes toward learning English; instrumentality promotion; instrumentality prevention.

Under hösten 2019 och våren 2020 har jag utforskat en kreativ process med mig själv som ensam låtskrivare, instrumentalist och producent. Jag har ämnat att bättre förstå hur mina musikaliska färdigheter och influenser påverkar mitt konstnärliga uttryck och därigenom min personliga inverkan på vägen från idé till färdigt verk. Utifrån frågeställningar kring vilka möjligheter och begränsningar en helt individuell konstnärlig process erbjuder och påverkar upplevelsen av resultatet, hur mina musikaliska influenser manifesterar sig, avsiktligt eller inte, samt hur jag mer specifikt förhåller mig till textförfattande i min process, påbörjade jag detta arbete genom att bryta ned mitt skapande i elementära byggstenar, för att sedan börja mitt låtskrivande i en för mig ovan ände – nämligen med text. Efter en tids misslyckade försök med denna metod skrev jag, spelade in och producerade en låt med utgångspunkt i vad jag i stunden enbart uppfattade som en känsla. Senare reflektion ledde mig till att uppfatta tydliga musikaliska influenser i min musik som jag i stunden inte hade någon tanke på, samt har gett mig en stor uppskattning för teknikens roll – både som praktiskt verktyg, men även som inspirationskälla – i min kreativa process.

Full textAbstract:
The Journey From Instrumentalist to Musician is a reflective study that addresses the effect of the Conservatory method in musical performance. The discussion begins with the author's early experiences as a young piano student who wanted to please her teacher and after many hours of practice soon became a performance specialist - a performance specialist who excelled as a pianist. The instrument that she studied, instead of the discipline of music itself, it what defined her a pianist. Throughout her early music career, she learned that exact replication of the score was more important than the process of creativity and individuality. The Conservatory method often emphasizes the importance of teaching specific instrumental skills rather than simply teaching music. This prompted the author to explore philosophies of music educators who were not considered educators of the traditional conservatory method. After discussing the methodologies of Suzuki, Kodaly, Dalcroze, and Orff, the author then reflects on her own educational methodology. In evaluating the methodolgies, the author identified four common themes for comparison: rhythm, pitch, recognition, patterning of sounds, and literacy. Through the discourse the author bridges the gap between the instrumentalist and the musician by comparing the methodology of these music educators and that of the conservatory through her own experiences.viii, 108 leaves ; 28 cm.

Clulow, Zeynep Deborah. "A multi-level analysis of the role of instrumentalist factors and worldviews in shaping CO2 emissions trends." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/37897/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the factors behind national CO2 emissions trends. It highlights four instrumental – economic, social, political and environmental - explanations that scholars have posited to account for emissions behaviour and subsequently demonstrates that the artificial segregation of these approaches in the literature poses a major problem for the field. Since all of these factors matter some of the time, it argues that the research program needs to identify when each factor matters more than others and why. This thesis proposes that ideas play a key role in bringing instrumental factors to bare on climate policy. Fusing together social constructivism and the concepts of worldviews and problem representations from cognitive psychology, it proposes that instrumental factors will only have their alleged effects on emissions when a country, or the policymakers who act on its behalf, believes that the factor is of importance to world politics more broadly. Drawing on three of the leading schools of international thought, it proposes three ideal worldviews and problem representations, each of which envisages a different set of instrumentalist drivers and strategic response to climate change. Specifically, the neo-realist worldview upholds that emissions policy should maximise the gains of the state relative to others. The neo-liberal worldview, on the other hand, suggests that a state should design climate policy to minimise the domestic cost-benefit ratio of emissions behaviour. Painting a very different picture, the structuralist worldview prescribes that emissions policy should serve a state’s transnational class interests. The thesis tests these explanatory approaches by conducting a large-N study of 3,381 country-years, spanning eight supranational regions and 147 countries from 1990 to 2012. It builds a three-level model that accounts for (country and regional) clustering in emissions behaviour, thus reducing the potential for type I errors. The findings confirm that instrumental factors are indeed significant drivers of emissions trends. However, unlike previous quantitative work in the field, the results of the multilevel analyses suggest that most of these factors have heterogeneous effects between countries. The findings also suggest that worldviews play a critical role in determining what these effects are in two of the cases examined in the thesis: (i) democratization has a positive effect on emissions reduction in countries that subscribe to the neo-liberal worldview while (unexpectedly) inhibiting emissions reduction in countries that do not and (ii) a structuralist mind-set makes countries prioritise economic growth over a clean climate, thereby inhibiting emissions reduction.

Full textAbstract:
There is a puzzling occurrence in Western Europe: Some far-right populist parties, traditionally seen as antithetical to liberalism, are appropriating liberal rights for their own illiberal ends. On the premise that the parties instrumentalise liberal elements to achieve more legitimacy in a climate of tolerance and respect for human rights in Western Europe, this thesis examines how far-right populist parties use human rights for mobilising purposes. Using Clifford Bob’s four conceptual elements of mobilising human rights rhetoric, in a qualitative content analysis the language of three Western European far-right populist parties is analysed. It is argued that, by drawing from a liberalism of fear, far-right populists frame human rights as a Western achievement, under threat by immigration from Islamic countries and the “corrupt elite” that allows for immigration to continue. By doing so, populists manage to incorporate human rights rhetoric in their mobilisation efforts, without challenging human rights per se.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the content and work processes regarding the values written in the curriculum for Swedish high schools and compare it with theories regarding the individualized society and political moralism. After the clarification of the content in the values of Swedish high schools and the work processes that are supposed to give students fundamental understanding about them, I analyze and compere it to the theories that are presented in the study. The main questions of the study are the following: What kinds of values are found in the curriculum for Swedish high schools? In general, how do Swedish high schools work with the written values when focus have gone from education and learning to instrumental knowledge, results, abilities and flexibility? The result showed that the content and work processes regarding the values in Swedish high schools are purely instrumental and moralistic. Due to the fact, that the individualized society and the neoliberal ideology do not require reflection and real understanding regarding the values. Therefore are the schools now more focused instrumental knowledge rather than universal knowledge based on understanding. This is not a surprising result, due to the fact that the public and the political discourse are colonized by moralism. This is the reaction individuals have to the fragmented society, where an alternative to the neoliberal ideology is nonexistent. The only kind of criticism in today’s society is based on moralism, which is affecting the work processes regarding the values in Swedish high schools.

This experiment investigated the motivational effect of task instrumentality in a group of 8th grade students (N = 92). It investigated whether telling students that memory skills were instrumental could produce motivational effect. With reference to the self-determination theory, it was hypothesized that the original level of motivation would serve as the moderator of the effect of instrumentality on the change in motivation. It was believed that instrumentality would have more impact on students with low level of motivation at the first place; while the impact of instrumentality would be less on students with high level of motivation at the first place. The experiment was successful in the manipulation of instrumentality of memory skill. There was an increase in students’ introjection after the intervention. The main effects showed that the teaching session was effective in reducing students’ external regulation. Marginal significant main effect was found in the experimental group, where they had higher identification to the mnemonic session compared to the control group. Regarding the moderation effect, there was no significant moderation effect of original motivation level on the relation between task instrumentality and the change in motivation level. Implications of these findings on education were discussed.published_or_final_version

Le conflit d'intérêt ou le manque de temps font partie des explications les plus souvent avancées par les adolescents ou les adultes afin de justifier l'arrêt de la pratique d'une activité sportive ou l'absence d'activité physique régulière. Ce travail doctoral vise à enrichir un modèle motivationnel de l'engagement sportif basé sur la théorie de l'autodétermination (Ryan & Deci, 2002), en y intégrant les perceptions de conflit et d'instrumentalité liées au rôle de pratiquant. Un programme de recherche articulé autour de 5 études et impliquant plus de 2500 participants a été conduit. L'étude 1, qui a comparé des jeunes pratiquants et d'anciens sportifs, a confirmé le lien entre les conflits perçus par rapport à la pratique sportive et le comportement d'abandon, et la relation négative entre les conflits et la motivation autodéterminée sportive. Les études 2 à 4 ont adopté un devis longitudinal sur une durée allant de 6 mois à 3 ans, afin d'étudier de façon approfondie les antécédents des perceptions de conflit et d'instrumentalité liées au rôle de pratiquant, et leur impact sur les comportements d'engagement sportif. Les résultats indiquent que le degré de motivation autodéterminée contextuelle prédit généralement négativement les conflits perçus, et positivement l'instrumentalité de la pratique sportive. Des niveaux élevés de conflit et faibles d'instrumentalité liés au rôle de sportif, semblent néfastes au maintien de l'engagement sportif dans le temps. Enfin, le devis expérimental de l'étude 5 a examiné le sens de la relation entre la motivation autodéterminée et conflit, soutenant l'hypothèse d'un rôle causal de la motivationCompeting activities and the lack of time constitute some of the most important reasons invoked to justify sport dropout or the absence of regular physical activity among youth and adults. This doctoral dissertation aims at enriching a motivational model of sport participation based on self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2002), by integrating the perceived conflict or instrumentality relative to the athlete's role. A research program comprising 5 studies and in which more than 2500 participants were involved, was conducted. Study 1 compared young athletes and former athletes and confirmed the positive link between perceived conflict and sport dropout, and the negative association between conflict and self-determined motivation toward sport. Studies 2 to 4 adopted a longitudinal design lasting from 6 months to 3 years, in order to investigate the antecedents of perceived conflict and instrumentality, their evolution during adolescence, and their impact on subsequent sport involvement. Results show that contextual self-determined motivation usually predicts negatively the level of conflict, and positively the level of instrumentality associated to the athlete's role. High levels of conflict and low levels of instrumentality were found to lead to a decrease of sport participation with time. Finally the experimental design of study 5 brought some support to the hypothesis of a causal relationship between self-determined motivation and conflict

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of gender and gender-role orientation, defined as levels of instrumentality and expressiveness, to Eriksonian ego identity achievement in young adults.
Erikson's theory of psychosocial development was the theoretical framework for the study. It was hypothesized that a regression model can predict ego identity from the independent variables of instrumentality, expressiveness, gender, self-esteem, age, intergenerational intimacy, significant other intimacy, intergenerational fusion-individuation, intergenerational intimidation, and significant other fusion-individuation.
The sample consisted of 156 college students, 73 males and 83 females. Respondents ranged in age from 19 to 25.
Ego identity achievement was defined as the respondent's score on Rasmussen's Ego Identity Scale (Rasmussen, 1961). Instrumentality and expressiveness were operationalized as scores on the Instrumental (M) Scale and the Expressive (F) Scale of the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (Spence & Helmreich, 1978). Self-esteem was operationalized by scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1979). The three individuation variables and the two intimacy variables were operationalized by five subscale scores of the Personal Authority in the Family System Questionnaire, Version C (Williamson, Bray, Malone, 1984).
Based on the results of stepwise multiple regression analysis the null hypothesis was not accepted. Instrumentality was the strongest predictor of ego identity achievement level. Self-esteem, significant other fusion-individuation, gender, intergenerational fusion individuation, and significant other intimacy were also significant predictors of ego-identity achievement. Males reported significantly lower ego identity scores than females. Individuation from parents and significant other predicted identity achievement.
Results of the investigation did not support the thesis that the psychological meaning of identity is defined by intimacy issues for females and individuation issues for males.Ed. D.

Resumo: Este trabalho visa contribuir para os estudos sobre a instrumentalidade profissional dos Assistentes Sociais na perspectiva do seu significado histórico-social, da sua dimensão técnica e para a reflexão sobre conteúdos, metodologias, habilidades e atitudes. Quando bem articulados, estes elementos expressam a concepção do Assistente Social, inserido coerentemente em sua profissão e contextualizado no mundo em que vive. Para este entendimento apresentamos um breve histórico da profissão, desde a sua gênese (décadas de 1920 e 1930) até chegar aos anos 1990. Esta retrospectiva se fez necessária para que se possa compreender, ainda que de modo rápido, a relação entre o positivismo, a fenomenologia, a dialética e o Serviço Social brasileiro no âmbito do agir profissional no Brasil nos dias de hoje. O Serviço Social desenvolve ações instrumentais como exigências da sua forma de inserção na divisão social e técnica do trabalho e alocação nos espaços sócio-institucionais da ordem capitalista dos monopólios. Estas ações são amparadas por uma modalidade de razão e paralelamente requisitadas por ela. Dado o caráter que ocupa na constituição da profissão. A instrumentalidade denota a "razão de ser" do Serviço Social produzida e reproduzida pelo racionalismo formal-abstrato das formas de existência e consciência dos homens nas sociedades contemporâneas.

Abstract: This research is an attempt at contributing to the understanding of the professional instrumentality of the Social Work in Brazil, in the perspective of its social and historical meaning and in the contents of its technical dimension. It is also an enquiry on contents, methodologies, skills, abilities and attitudes of the professionals that work in this field. When all these elements are well articulated, they can express the concepts and define the procedures and instruments to adequately deal with the unequal distribution of opportunities in this country. The research is aimed at showing a brief historical survey of the profession in Social Work, since its genesis back in the years 20's and 30's in Brazil until the 90's. This retrospective is necessary for the understanding, though done briefly, the relationship between Positivism, Dialethic and Marxism in the establishment of the Brazilian Social Work and the meaning of social intervention in Brazil today. The social workers develop instrumental actions as a requirement for their insertion in the technical and social division of work as well as for its absorption in the world of work in the frame of the social institutions of the capitalist world. These actions are supported by a modality of reason and at the same time required by the capitalist order. Given the social position that occupies in the professional set up, the instrumentality denotes the reason of being of the Social Work, which is an important part of man's consciousness in the contemporary society. Nevertheless, the demands for the professional action are also important means through which the theories channel the practical intervention. Thus, the main aim of this work is to carry out a discussion on professional questions such as concepts, values and procedures underlying the adequate choice among the different approaches targeted at transforming...

Comprendre la structure du processus motivationnel chez l'adulte déficient visuel en âge de travailler constitue le point central de notre recherche. Le cadre théorique adopte est celui du modèle Vroonien EIV (expectation - instrumentalité - valence) souvent applique en milieu organisationnel. Notre approche consiste à a) étudier les composantes - mêmes du modèle auprès d'une population de non-travailleurs (96 sujets visuels suivant une formation professionnelle spécialisée) et b) montrer le rôle particulier joue par les expectations. Il apparait que notre inventaire de motivation mesure deux aspects différents de iv en rapport avec une attitude donnée : a) attitude optimiste face à l'emploi; b) attitude réactionnelle vis-à-vis de son handicap. Les résultats valident le rôle déterminant de e au niveau du premier aspect iv : plus les expectations sont élevées et plus la personne tend vers des résultats positifs et valorisants; moins elle a confiance en elle-même, plus elle s'oriente vers des buts lies a l'impact du handicap sur sa vie personnelle les autres hypothèses ont été validées : a) e est indépendante des capacités réelles (handicap objectif) ; b) elle est plus faible chez les sujets ayant exercé une activité professionnelle pour une longue période; c) elle augmente lorsque la formation professionnelle est la conséquence d'un choix personnel en rapport avec les intérêts de la personne. Nous ne pouvons cependant affirmer la prépondérance de e par rapport a & et v, mais uniquement sa pondéranceThe central point of our research is to understand the structure of the adult visual impaired person's motivational process, in keeping with the vroom's EIV model. Our approach consists of studying the corposants of the model, noting specially the particular role of expectation. It concern 96 males and females with visual handicap, taking a special professional training in order to access to the ordinary work area. It appears that our motivational inventory measures two different aspects of EIV in relation with two different attitudes: a) an optimist attitude toward job; b) a reactional attitude toward handicap. The results demonstrate the determinant ro le of e : a) the higher the expectations are, more the person tends toward positive outcomes and self-actualization; b) the less the trusts her capacities, more she looks for ontcomer in relation with the impact of the visual in payment on her work nd personal life. The other hypotheses were valided: a) e is independent from the real degree of handicap; b) the subjects with professional experience have a weaker expectation than subjects without professional experience; c) e is higher when the professional training is the result of the person's choices and interests

Lack of understanding regarding the role that temporality-pathos plays in Asian American literature leads scholars to misread many textual passages as deviations from the implied authors’ political critiques. This dissertation invites scholars to recognize temporality-focused passages in Younghill Kang’s East Goes West, Carlos Bulosan’s America is in the Heart, and John Okada’s No-No Boy, as part of a pathos formula developed by avant-garde Asian American writers to resist systemic alienations experienced by Asian Americans by diagnosing and treating America’s empathy gap. I find that each of pathae examined – the pathos of finitude, the pathos of idealism, and the pathos of confusion – appears in each of the major primary texts discussed, and that these pathae not only invite similitude-based empathy from a wide readership, but also prompt, via multiple methods, the expansion of empathy. First, the authors use these pathae diagnostically: the pathos of finitude makes visible American imperialism’s destruction of prior ways of life; the pathos of idealism exposes the falsity of the futures promised by liberalism; and the pathos of confusion counters the destructive nationalisms that fractured the era. Second, the authors use these temporality pathae to identify the instrumentalist reasoning underlying these capitalist ideologies and to show how they stunt American empathy. Third, the authors deploy formal and thematic complexities that cultivate empathy-generating faculties of mind and cultivate alternative forms of reasoning.

Esta pesquisa busca lançar bases para a caracterização do uso da linguagem simbólica dentro do Direito penal. Nesse sentido, estabelece-se uma divisão entre duas categorias: Simbolismo no Direito penal e Direito penal simbólico, sendo que a primeira diz respeito a todas as formas (intrínsecas, legítimas ou ilegítimas) de utilização de símbolos no Direito penal. Já a segunda categoria corresponde a uma parcela deturpada do uso de símbolos dentro do Direito penal, prejudicial a sua função e ilegítima perante seus princípios, o que acaba por gerar dois efeitos intoleráveis à dinâmica do Direito penal: sua inefetividade e sua seletividade. De início é elaborado um panorama do símbolo e suas implicações teóricas em diversas áreas do saber. Em um segundo momento, a temática do simbolismo é relacionada com o Direito penal, visando à construção de um conceito crítico de Direito penal simbólico apto a ser aplicado na realidade. Posteriormente, é esboçada uma análise da conjectura do Direito penal na contemporaneidade e como tal contexto deu gênese e fomenta o fenômeno do Direito penal simbólico. Por fim, uma série de propostas são estabelecidas com o objetivo de sanear o simbolismo no Direito penal de utilizações deturpadas do símbolo.This research intends to investigate the use of simbolical language in the Criminal Law. In this sense, a division between two categories is made: the Symbolism in the Criminal Law and the Symbolic Criminal Law. The first is related to any kinds of uses of symbols inside the Criminal Law (even in the cases of negative utilizations). In other way, the second category corresponds specifically to a distorted portion of the use of symbols within the Criminal Law, damaging its correct function and going against its principles. This distortion generates two intolerable effects to the dynamic of Criminal Law: its ineffectiveness and its selectivity. In the beggining, this work will establish a theoretical analysis of the symbol in many differents areas of knowledge. After that, the symbolism will be related to the Criminal Law, in order to build a concept of Symbolic Criminal Law fit to be empirically applied. Subsequently, an analysis of the Criminal Law within the contemporary contexto will be sketched. Finally, some suggestion will be offered aiming the goal of cleansing the Symbolism in the Criminal Law of the misleading uses of symbols

Quando bem articulados, estes elementos expressam a concepção do Assistente Social, inserido coerentemente em sua profissão e contextualizado no mundo em que vive. Para este entendimento apresentamos um breve histórico da profissão, desde a sua gênese (décadas de 1920 e 1930) até chegar aos anos 1990. Esta retrospectiva se fez necessária para que se possa compreender, ainda que de modo rápido, a relação entre o positivismo, a fenomenologia, a dialética e o Serviço Social brasileiro no âmbito do agir profissional no Brasil nos dias de hoje. O Serviço Social desenvolve ações instrumentais como exigências da sua forma de inserção na divisão social e técnica do trabalho e alocação nos espaços sócio-institucionais da ordem capitalista dos monopólios. Estas ações são amparadas por uma modalidade de razão e paralelamente requisitadas por ela. Dado o caráter que ocupa na constituição da profissão. A instrumentalidade denota a razão de ser do Serviço Social produzida e reproduzida pelo racionalismo formal-abstrato das formas de existência e consciência dos homens nas sociedades contemporâneas. Este caráter instrumental, se, por um lado, constitui a funcionalidade para a qual a sociedade convoca o profissional por outro lado, é o que lhe possibilita a passagem das teorias às práticas constituindo sua razão de ser meta maior é fazer uma reflexão sobre a profissão em questões como a sua concepção e seus valores uma vez que tais elementos constroem, delimitam e dão concretude à ação profissional. A instrumentalidade no bojo da ação do Assistente Social...
This research is an attempt at contributing to the understanding of the professional instrumentality of the Social Work in Brazil, in the perspective of its social and historical meaning and in the contents of its technical dimension. It is also an enquiry on contents, methodologies, skills, abilities and attitudes of the professionals that work in this field. When all these elements are well articulated, they can express the concepts and define the procedures and instruments to adequately deal with the unequal distribution of opportunities in this country. The research is aimed at showing a brief historical survey of the profession in Social Work, since its genesis back in the years 20's and 30's in Brazil until the 90's. This retrospective is necessary for the understanding, though done briefly, the relationship between Positivism, Dialethic and Marxism in the establishment of the Brazilian Social Work and the meaning of social intervention in Brazil today. The social workers develop instrumental actions as a requirement for their insertion in the technical and social division of work as well as for its absorption in the world of work in the frame of the social institutions of the capitalist world. These actions are supported by a modality of reason and at the same time required by the capitalist order. Given the social position that occupies in the professional set up, the instrumentality denotes the reason of being of the Social Work, which is an important part of man's consciousness in the contemporary society. Nevertheless, the demands for the professional action are also important means through which the theories channel the practical intervention. Thus, the main aim of this work is to carry out a discussion on professional questions such as concepts, values and procedures underlying the adequate choice among the different approaches targeted at transforming...
