Full textPublished in 1974, Yo el Supremo defines the ideas on word and history that typify the work of Augusto Roa Bastos as a writer. The synthesis of the duality between orality and writing converges in paraguaian bilinguism and Yo el Supremo sanctions the impossibility of creating an absolutist discourse. The written word falsifies and manipulates the reality that is considered as the bringer of the official discourse of history and it is deconstructed by opposition with the oral word, keeper of the collective memory. Constructed on a plurality of texts and voices that superimpose and reveal reality from different perspectives, Yo el Supremo puts in continuous dialogue the will to power of the Supreme that is described in the Circular perpetua, with the will to freedom of the voices and texts that confront this discourse, destroying it.

Full textThe goal of the research is to document different identities of female university professors who left Serbia and went to other academic communities throughout the world, in order to achieve their professional career.Hypothesis of the work:H-1: First hypothesis is that female professors of the academic diaspora have left their countries in order to be able to successfully build their professional careers elsewhere, during times when it was impossible for them to do so in their own countries, due to lack of sufficient conditions which would facilitate their domestic careers.H-2: Second hypothesis is that all professors in the academic diaspora have variable, multiple identities.H-3: Third hypothesis: empirical data on lives of professors within the academic diaspora are helpful in building of the cooperation strategy between the professors from diaspora and domestic university centres.The basic and control group of analysis consists of 21 life stories of female professors who have acquired their career education within Serbian universities, while their professional career was established in different countries in Europe and throughout the world. Audio recordings of 11 professors, made during a period of six years (2009-2015) in a form of conversations according to previously prepared semi-structured questionnaires (24h of audio material), were transcribed to a form of written text (256 pages in total). 10 life stories of University of Novi Sad's female professors were published as a control material (Savic 2015). The basic criteria for the selection of women: they were all born in the Republic of Serbia (where they have spent their childhood and finished some or all of their education), while achieving their career somewhere else in the world, outside Serbia.The data shows that all professors have managed to balance their professional and private life, and it turned out that "one" was facilitating the "other", during their successful career.All professors had support of their spouses for their professional work as well as for relocation to foreign countries. Such support proved to be necessary, since all of them encountered obstacles and challenges within the academic diaspora, from the moment they left their country as well as during their professional career (e.g.: some of them had to repeat/retake their higher education, or to change the profession or area/field of work, while some of them continued with their academic specialization).Education proved crucial for upbringing of their children, too. Top notch education according to desires and affinities of their children.Language identity of the professors within the academic diaspora is more connected to their professional orientation than to their national identities.Professors have tried to teach their children their mother tongue, even though they were born (or have spent the most of their lives) in foreign countries, so it wouold be safe to say that those children have two (or more) languages that they consider as their native.The most striking resemblance between the professors of the Novi Sad University (UNS) and professors in academic diaspora is their equal desire and thrive for education and advancement within their science and field of work, regardless of the cost and obstacles they have encountered, during that journey.Equaly important similarity is the discrimination they have faced during their careers. UNS professors have faced discrimination on their scientific path and advancement, while academic diaspora professors have faced it regarding their employment, their field of expertise and possible advancement, as well.All professors from academic diaspora are willing to cooperate with universities and other scientific institutions in Serbia, but the lack of systematic solutions for such cooperation in Serbia at this point is preventing them to do so.Female experiences encompassed here, are witnessing the unused resources, which are missing when it comes to cooperation and engagement of academic diaspora professors in Serbia today. They can serve as a starting point for making a longterm strategy on implementation of knowledge and achievements of female academic professors in domestic surroundings.It is significant that the issue of female migration, especially when it is connected to their work and profession, is intertwined within the interdisciplinary gender studies, since it is certain that migrations will be a longterm subject in the future of the whole civilisation. There are programs and courses dealing with higher education of women, collecting empirical material during research projects.Possibilities for application of results:1. Empirical data on identitiy of academically educated women from diaspora (gender being one of them) will serve during theoretical discussions on relationship of the elements of identity and gender.2.Empirical data have practical significance, as they may serve as a proposition and starting point of the cooperation strategy, as well as for the possible return of the female academic experts from the diaspora back to academic elite of Serbia (and the Ex-YU region).3. Enrichment of the existing data base of life stories of women from the Republic of Serbia, members of different national communities, who have accomplished their lives in the 20th and 21st century.The results of the PhD thesis should serve the development of a strategy on implementation of academic women's achievements, in domestic surroundings.

Full textThe aim of the research is to show: 1. how formal and informal education affects the formation of gender identity in correlation with the professional identity; 2. The way of the process of feminization of the journalistic profession in the context of society, the family, education and the media.H-1: Formal academic education has a significant impact on the quality professional work of female journalists, but it is insufficient for a gender-sensitive approach.H-2: Non-formal education in terms of lifelong learning contributes to a more professional work of female journalists, especially the ones who are involved in investigative journalism, as well as gender-sensitive media coverage.H-3. A larger number of women in positions of power does not necessarily lead to a gender-sensitive approach in the media, and thus does not contribute to a change in values that would lead to more equal position of women in the society.H-4: Women in journalism suppress gender identity in relation to a professional one.Basic and theoretical framework draws on the theory of 'otherness'.The basic research methods are life stories, as one of the predominant methods in gender studies. We interpret the experience of women through testimonies about social, political and professional circumstances in a particular period and in the context of a multi-ethnic and multicultural Vojvodina.The corpus consists of 16 female journalists who work or have worked in the minority media of ethnic communities, as well as in the language of the majority. By hihlighting gender dimension of development of a profession, the research results should contribute to the deconstruction of patriarchal social framework and lead to better understanding of the impact of individual and social life the second half of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century in Vojvodina through a feminist perspective.The research results show that women in journalism today are included as 'subordinates'. Regardless of the prevalent number of women in the media, the management structure still belongs to men - they have the professional and political power. Journalists from minority communities are double 'subordinates' in relation to the female journalists from the majority community and male colleagues in their own community.The results show that formal higher education is an important starting point for the journalistic profession, but for the further development of professional identity constant (life-long) formal education is necessary; Education on gender equity has a significant impact on the level of achievement in gender-based journalistic culture; with the journalist expressing gender identity, or is subordinate to a professional, as in the case of most journalists gender identity is understood as a static female-male polarity and not as a category of multiple identities.The application of the research results are twofold: 1. empirical data on the identity of the press from Vojvodina will serve as a basis for theoretical discussion on the correlation of gender and professional identity, as well as components of multiple identities of women in Vojvodina; 2. it will serve to expand the existing database of life stories of women who are members of the majority, and minority ethnic communities and should be used for subsequent comparative studies.

Este trabalho apresenta uma pesquisa sobre a formação acadêmico-profissional de licenciandos em Química da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG) que participaram do Programa de Incentivo à Docência (PIBID) nos anos de 2009 e 2010. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com onze licenciandos formandos no curso ao final do PIBID e as informações analisadas foram histórias mensais escritas por estes participantes durante os dois anos do Programa. Alguns pressupostos orientaram a pesquisa: a formação acadêmico-profissional de sujeitos pesquisadores da sua prática em Rodas de Formação, a partir da qual, é possível o acolhimento de questionamentos, a partilha, a escuta, a construção e divulgação de novos argumentos; a escrita como modo de pensar, que por ser uma atividade interativa conta com a presença de interlocutores ativos para provocar o escrevente. Entendemos que quando os escreventes são licenciandos, tem-se na escrita a possibilidade de documentar a formação desses profissionais, conhecendo suas fragilidades e potencialidades. A análise das histórias escritas pelos participantes desta pesquisa, realizada mediante a Análise Textual Discursiva possibilitou a compreensão da contribuição das histórias na formação acadêmico-profissional de licenciandos de Química da FURG em Rodas de Formação. A tese defendida é que as histórias produzidas em Rodas de Formação contribuem para a formação acadêmico-profissional de licenciandos de Química. As histórias contêm conteúdos que podem sinalizar para a produção de currículo nos cursos de Licenciatura, expressam o medo da solidão e a ousadia no trabalho coletivo e potencializam a compreensão sobre a constituição do professor em Roda.
This study presents a research concerning the academic and professional training of Chemistry grad students at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG) who joined PIBID (a program that encourages teaching licensing courses) in 2009 and 2010. The research was developed with eleven students at their final year in PIBID program and the data analyzed were stories monthly written by these participants during their two years in the program. Some assumptions guided the study: the academic and professional training of the participants, researchers of their own practices in Wheels of Education, in which welcoming of questions, sharing, hearing and construction and spreading of new issues are possible; as well as writing as a way of thinking, considering it is an interactive activity which counts on the presence of active interlocutors in order to tease the writer. We understand that, when the writers are licensing graduates, their writing shows up a possibility of registering their professional training, getting to know their potentialities and fragilities. The analyses of the stories written by the participants of this research was taken by Textual Discursive Analysis, allowing a greater comprehension of the academic and professional training in the Wheels of Education of Chemistry graduates at FURG. The thesis raised is that stories produced in Wheels of Education have contents that can point out issues for the syllabus of licensing courses which potentiate the academic and professional training of Chemistry graduates and also remark the fear of loneliness and boldness in collective.

Full textToday is almost unknown the fact that on the string department at the academies of arts in our region most of the graduated students are women. The analysis of this process is worth the research attention of education and professional activities of this, relatively significant number of graduated women string instrumentalists. By comparing data from three cultural backgrounds of ex-Yugoslav territory we come to significant conclusions for the history of women's musical heritage in the region in this area and the methodology of work with future personnel.The aim of the research is the collection, selection and interpretation of data about the life of graduated women performers on stringed instruments in Novi Sad, Banja Luka and Zagreb since the establishment of these academic institutions to present day, in order to draw attention to the issue of constructing identity of women performers during and after the higher music education.Hypothesis 1 is that a significant number of female music performance graduates on string instruments contributes to improving the awareness of the importance of gender identity in the music art in the region.Hypothesis 2 is that the increased number of female music performance graduates on string instruments does not contribute to improving the awareness of the importance of gender identity in the music art in the region.Hypothesis 3 that professional identity of the female music performance graduates on string instruments is superior to all other components of identity, including gender.The corpus includes female music performance graduates on string instruments from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad (20), Zagreb (4) and Banja Luka (8).Analysis of the 13 components of identity (childhood, education, nineties of the 20th century, marriage, children, mother tongue, then national, religious, professional identities, health, membership in professional associations and political parties, hobbies).The results show that the first hypothesis is only partly true, and that the third hypothesis is true for the total sample: all the female musicians prefer the professional identity from early childhood. Empirical data do not confirm the stereotype that the profession of a female musician exclude marriage, family and children.The research results are as important as the new drafting history of music and women in this area so much and for gender studies, which are undertaken for the advancement of women in various professions in modern times. In particular, the results would enrich teaching and methodical practice in the field of music education at all levels in our country. Data from this study could (indeed, must) become a part of textbooks. In addition the data that occurred in this research testify to the fact that in the world and in the region Yugoslav territory a significant number of women contributed, and still, perhaps more than ever, contributes to the development of music and musical culture.

Full textBackground Sustainability has become a central role in today's society, not least in the companyworld. However, there are divided opinions about the view on Corporate SocialResponsibility. Some argue that companies need to divide their attention to all of theirstakeholders. Others argue that Corporate Social Responsibility does not go along withcompanies main task, which is to produce and generate maximum profit and in that waybe beneficial to society by offering more jobs, which in turn leads to more tax revenueand in the long run contributes to society. Previous research on the impact of CSRprofitability presents results pointing in different directions. Positive, negative as well asneutral impact has been demonstrated. This study will therefore examon profitability in the swedish context as Sweden has shown to be one of the world'smost sustainable countries. Purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of Swedish companies' work withCorporate Social Responsibility on profitability. Method The study applies a quantitative method and is based on a positivistic researchphilosophy with a hypothetico-deductive approach. The study is a cross-sectional studyand has been carried out with the help of a survey where the information aboutcompanies' work with CSR was collected with the help of questionnaires. Furthermore,secondary data has been retrieved from annual reports which have been used tocalculate the key figures ROA, ROE and ROIC. The study used an accepted method forthe analysis through the use of previous studies and with the help of the statisticsprogram Minitab. Result & conclusion The study's result points toward positive, negative as well as neutral relationshipsbetween the four dimensions of CSR and the key figures ROA, ROE and ROIC. Inparticular, two results stood out, which were H4 and H12, where a positive relationbetween the discretionary dimension and profitability measured in ROA and ROICcould be demonstrated. Furthermore, negative relationships could also be demonstrated,albeit with a low degree of explanation. All in all, the study can show that thediscretionary dimension has a positive effect on companies' profitability. The otherindicators cannot prove the opposite with certainty. The answer to the question of whatimpact Swedish companies' work with CSR has on profitability can therefore besummarized in the fact that different activities have different effects. However, thestudy concludes that companies' discretionary activities, such as donating money tocharity, have a positive impact on profitability and therefore something that companiesshould continue with as it benefits both the company and society at large.

Full textExegesis: Through the lens of Richard Slotkin’s theory of the mythogenesis of the frontier, the exegetical component of the thesis proposes that the circular process of analysis and regeneration of the violent mythology of the frontier in both Australian and American literature has dominated the road writing genre. The triumphant frontier narrative of America and the transcendent failure frontier narrative of Australia repeat in contemporary road writing. Road stories featuring women and characters from positions of cultural, ethnic, class, religious and sexual difference offer one possibility for the disruption of this process. Australian road stories Hiam by Eva Sallis, All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld and Floundering by Romy Ash offer a reimagining of road stories beyond the frontier legacies of racial, sexual and class oppression. Ross Gibson’s theory of badlands in Australia, which are narratives set in natural locations which attract more atrocities to occur, informs my approach to the reading of these texts.

Full textThe South African Petroleum Industry is very competitive and is vital to the economic growth of the country. It is the basis for much of the nation's productivity, from keeping national transport flowing to producing products and services. The South African Petroleum Industry Association (SAPIA) was formed to further matters of common interest amongst competitive providers of Petroleum Industry Road Conveniences (PIRCs), and to promote good ethics, high industrial standards, competent governance and effective communications within the industry. PIRCs are distributed on most South African roads. This study emphasises and focuses on the location of PIRCs on national routes only. Various factors and theories, which influence the location of a PIRC, are analysed by means of a literature study, personal investigation and practical experience. Attention is given to the physical and legal aspects, which can influence the location of a PIRC. Thereafter, the macro, market and micro considerations are discussed. Particular attention is given to Porter's Five Forces of Competitiveness and the value chain.

Full textThis study focuses on the strategies and devices used to create humour in children’s literature. No language is a replica of another language and it is generally accepted that a translator has to be creative in order to make the Source Text (ST) meaning available to the Target Text (TT) reader. The research conducted in this study aims to fill a gap regarding the application of humour in the rather under-researched field of children’s literature. A descriptive framework was used to conduct this qualitative study in order to be able to describe the linguistic strategies and devices used to translate the English source text by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator into the Afrikaans Target Text, Charlie en die Groot Glashyser by Kobus Geldenhuys. Literary devices to create humour, employed by both the writer and the translator, were identified and analysed. Interviews and reading sessions with ST learners (English) as well as TT learners (Afrikaans) were conducted in order to observe their non-verbal reactions as well as document their verbal comments to complement the data obtained from the textual analysis. The textual analysis showed that the literary device most frequently applied in the ST was the simile and the main trend regarding the transference of humorous devices to the TT was to retain the device with formal equivalence. The most popular translation strategy was direct translation with the most important shifts identified on morphological and lexical level and shifts in expressive and evoked meaning were relatively low. With regard to the reading sessions, the most positive results from both groups of learners regarding humorous devices in the ST and TT were obtained for the device of inappropriate behaviour.
