Full textAbstract:
What is missing from academia and society at large is a more holistic picture of youth sexting. Not adequately understanding youth sexting has stunted previous attempts to effectively educate young people on its potential consequences. As such, the social and legal consequences of sexting gone viral have negatively impacted countless individuals. This study offers a preliminary glimpse of the sexting phenomenon by highlighting the experiences of 20 young people. I explore emergent themes regarding the nature of youth sexting as well as the interrelations amongst privacy, relationships, and sexting. Two distinct forms of sexting emerged from participant narratives, opening the door for more open-minded discussions and social policies cognizant of both the positive and negative outcomes of electronic forms of sexual communication. In general, participant discourse on youth sexting demonstrates a need for more research on the topic as well as updated forms of sexting education in schools and amongst families.

A partir de l'etude de deux grands projets municipaux d'urbanisme, il s'agit de depasser une perspective neo-institutionnelle de l'etude du gouvernement local pour s'interroger sur la structuration d'acteurs aux appartenances multiples au cours d'un processus d'interaction. En utilisant les modelisations construites pour apprehender le gouvernement des etats, la these cherche a analyser les politiques publiques decentralisees et ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler la gouvernance urbaine, en evaluant les possibilites et les limites de ce changement d'echelle. La these est composee de trois parties qui correspondent a trois moments d'un raisonnement d'ensemble : - la premiere determine la part des representations locales et nationales dans l'elaboration de projets urbains municipaux novateurs caracteristiques de volontes politiques autonomes. - la deuxieme etudie la structuration des acteurs au-dela des statuts institutionnels, en privilegiant les mobilisations interpersonnelles, principalement selon les analyses de l'ecole du networking anglo-saxonne. - la troisieme s'attache a la question de la production des idees et de "regles du jeu" entre les acteurs, en etudiant dans quelle mesure l'elaboration de ces deux projets d'urbanisme temoigne de la mise en place de normes locales d'action publiqueThe study of two municipal urban plans is a matter of overstepped the neo-institutional viewpoint of the local government study for wonder about the actor's structuring who have various membership. By the use of national state models, this work attempts to analyse the local public policies and the urban governance, and the possibilities and the limits of this size changing. This work is composed of three parts, corresponding to three moments of the analysis : the first establishes the local and national representations role in the development of local urban plans. The second examines the actor's structuring beyond their institutional status, and study the interpersonal mobilisations, from the analysis of networking studies. The third studies the production of ideas and "rules of game" between actors. This two urban plans attest that public policies take off the formation of local norms of action

Bullock, Joseph B. "Sextus was no Eudaimonist." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2008. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/philosophy_theses/40.
Full textAbstract:
Ancient Greek philosophical schools are said to share a common structure in their ethical theories which is characterized by a eudaimonistic teleology based in an understanding of human nature. At first glance, the skepticism of Sextus Empiricus as described in the Outlines of Pyrrhonism seems to fit into this model insofar as he describes the end of the skeptic as ataraxia, a common account of the expression of human happiness. I argue that this is a misunderstanding of Sextus’s philosophy for several reasons. “The end of skepticism” cannot be eudaimonistic or teleological in the way that other ancient ethical theories are typically understood; moreover, ataraxia is not an end derived from a theory about human nature. For these reasons, the skeptical way of life is radically different than the ethical theories proposed by other schools. I argue that this difference is a result of the character of the skeptical enterprise which involves the implicit rejection of norms in both the epistemological and the ethical spheres.

Full textAbstract:
In his Outlines of Skepticism, Sextus Empiricus claims that the Pyrrhonian Skeptic can live without holding beliefs. According to the 'Rustic' interpretation of this claim, Sextus holds that the Skeptic lives without beliefs of any kind. According to the 'Urbane' interpretation, Sextus' claim concerns only a restricted category of beliefs. I discuss each interpretation in the context of Sextus' broader philosophical stance, and argue for an Urbane interpretation. On this view, Pyrrhonism represents a practicable stance towards the world.Master of Arts

Josi, Johannes. "Nodal rational sextics in the real projective plane." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUS076.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée à l’étude des courbes sextiques nodales, et en particulier des sextiques rationnelles, dans le plan projectif réel. Deux sextiques nodales réelles ayant k points doubles sont dites rigidement isotopes si elles peuvent être reliées par un chemin dans l’espace des sextiques nodales réelles ayant k points doubles. Le résultat principal de la première partie de la thèse donne une classification à isotopie rigide près des sextiques nodales irréductibles sans points doubles réels, généralisant la classification des sextiques non-singulières obtenue par Nikulin. La seconde partie porte sur les sextiques ayant des points doubles réels : une classification est obtenue pour les sextiques nodales séparantes, c’est-à-dire celles dont la partie réelle sépare leur complexification (l’ensemble des points complexes) en deux composantes connexes. Ce résultat est appliqué au cas des sextiques rationnelles réelles pouvant être perturbées en des sextiques maximales ou presque maximales (dans le sens de l’inégalité de Harnack). L’approche retenue repose sur l’étude des périodes des surfaces K3, se basant notamment sur le Théorème de Torelli Global de Piatetski-Shapiro et Shafarevich et le Théorème de Surjectivité de Kulikov, ainsi que sur les résultats de Nikulin portant sur les formes bilinéaires symétriques intégralesThis thesis studies nodal sextics (algebraic curves of degree six), and in particular rational sextics, in the real projective plane. Two such sextics with k nodes are called rigidly isotopic if they can be joined by a path in the space of real nodal sextics with k nodes. The main result of the first part of the thesis is a rigid isotopy classification of real nodal sextics without real nodes, generalizing Nikulin’s classification of non-singular sextics. In the second part we study sextics with real nodes and we describe the rigid isotopy classes of such sextics in the case where the sextics are dividing, i.e., their real part separates the complexification (the set of complex points) into two halves. As a main application, we give a rigid isotopy classification for those nodal real rational sextics which can be perturbed to maximal or next-to-maximal sextics in the sense of Harnack’s inequality. Our approach is based on the study of periods of K3 surfaces, drawing on the Global Torelli Theorem by Piatetski-Shapiro and Shafarevich and Kulikov’s surjectivity theorem, as well as Nikulin’s results on symmetric integral bilinear forms

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the practice of sexting (the exchange of nude or semi-nude photos through text messaging) among 401 undergraduate students ages 18 to 25 at California State University, Fresno. A computer survey with separate tracks for sexters and non-sexters differentiated data between the two groups. The researcher found that one in three students sexted. Pearson’s χ 2 test indicated a statistical significance between female non-Hispanic White casual daters and sexting. Among key findings, a majority of sexters infrequently exchanged a small number of photos with their boyfriends or girlfriends. Face cropping and smartphone applications were used most often for protection against harmful effects. Less than a fifth of respondents had their sext forwarded without their consent or were bullied with the photo. Over half of the students that sexted perceived their sexting activity led to having sex with that person. Those who did not engage in sexting perceived sexters to be unaware of the risks attached to the practice and perceived sexting as inappropriate. The findings demonstrated a range of risky and protective behaviors, experiences, and perceptions exist among Fresno State students that have adopted or rejected the practice of sexting. Recommendations for future studies include further exploration on the sexting behaviors between relationship partners as well as the types of applications used to sext.

Full textAbstract:
Inverse problems naturally occur in many branches of science and mathematics. An inverse problem entails finding the values of one or more parameters using the values obtained from observed data. A typical example of an inverse problem is the inversion of the Radon transform. Here a function (for example of two variables) is deduced from its integrals along all possible lines. This problem is intimately connected with image reconstruction for X-ray computerized tomography.
Moment problems are a special class of inverse problems. While the classical theory of moments dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, the systematic study of truncated moment problems began only a few years ago. In this dissertation we will first survey the elementary theory of truncated moment problems, and then focus on those problems with cubic column relations.
For a degree 2n real d-dimensional multisequence β ≡ β (2n) ={β i}i∈Zd+,|i|≤2n to have a representing measure μ, it is necessary for the associated moment matrix Μ(n) to be positive semidefinite, and for the algebraic variety associated to β, Vβ, to satisfy rank Μ(n)≤ card Vβ as well as the following consistency condition: if a polynomial p(x)≡ ∑|i|≤2naixi vanishes on Vβ, then Λ(p):=∑|i|≤2naiβi=0. In 2005, Professor Raúl Curto collaborated with L. Fialkow and M. Möller to prove that for the extremal case (Μ(n)= Vβ), positivity and consistency are sufficient for the existence of a (unique, rank Μ(n)-atomic) representing measure.
In joint work with Professor Raúl Curto we have considered cubic column relations in M(3) of the form (in complex notation) Z3=itZ+ubar Z, where u and t are real numbers. For (u,t) in the interior of a real cone, we prove that the algebraic variety Vβ consists of exactly 7 points, and we then apply the above mentioned solution of the extremal moment problem to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a representing measure. This requires a new representation theorem for sextic polynomials in Z and bar Z which vanish in the 7-point set Vβ. Our proof of this representation theorem relies on two successive applications of the Fundamental Theorem of Linear Algebra. Finally, we use the Division Algorithm from algebraic geometry to extend this result to other situations involving cubic column relations.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the sexting behaviour of a female adolescent in Cape Town, South Africa. Sexting has rapidly increased in recent years and concerns regarding the risks associated with the behaviour have prompted an increase in research on the topic.
The rationale for the study included an acknowledgement of risks and the prevalence of the behaviour, and thus a need to fully understand sexting to prevent negative outcomes for adolescents. Few qualitative studies exist, meaning that the depth of an individual’s experiences has not been fully explored and nuances of the behaviour may have been missed. Furthermore, few studies have been grounded in specific theories. The purpose of the study was thus to explore a female adolescent’s subjective sexting experiences and perspectives through qualitative means grounded in the Theory of Planned Behaviour. Research questions aimed to explore the existing empirical and theoretical perspectives of sexting, motivations for sexting and consequences of sexting.
An interpretivist research paradigm was employed with a qualitative approach. The research design was a single, descriptive case study and data was gathered through a semi-structured interview, observations and a reflective researcher journal. Selection criteria for sampling the participant included being between the ages of 18 and 19, female and having exposure to the topic. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted on the transcribed interview data to establish themes and subthemes.
The resulting four themes are, firstly, the participant’s definition, conceptualisation and categorisation of sexting; secondly, the participant’s perceptions of motivations for engaging in sexting; thirdly, the participant’s beliefs concerning the consequences of sexting; and lastly, the participant’s ideas on the protection of adolescents from negative consequences of sexting.
To summarise each theme: theme 1 established that the participant defined sexting as being both text-based and image-based and that each has differing purposes with a variety of technological influences. Theme 2 showed that the participant perceived the motivations for sexting to be associated with physical pleasure, emotional pleasure, intimacy, getting attention, seeking a relationship, coercion, a long-distance relationship, and for sexual communication. In theme 3 the participant described the consequences of sexting as being emotional and social and as punishment from adults. Theme 4 presented the participant’s ideas on how adolescents might be protected from the consequences of sexting on an individual level and through interventions by adults.
When compared to the literature, the study confirmed many existing themes, while new data was identified along with gaps in the literature. This prompted recommendations for further research and assisted in informing recommendations for future intervention. The study’s findings added to the qualitative literature on the sexting experiences of a female adolescent. Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour means that the study added to understanding of how the theory may be utilised when qualitatively exploring sexting. Further, a South African case study was added to the body of knowledge on sexting.

Full textAbstract:
Le livre VI de la Iohannis de Flavius Cresconius Corippus fait l’objet de cette thèse. Cette section du poème est axée sur la préparation et le déroulement d’une grande bataille: les tribus Maures se rassemblent et forment une nouvelle coalition, ce qui implique une totale subversion des équilibres narratifs. Une traduction complète en italien est fournie, ainsi que le commentaire de Coripp. Ioh. 6, 1-126. Une riche introduction - divisée en deux parties principales et précédant soit la traduction soit le commentaire - concerne avant tout le contexte historique et culturel de Corippe (dans la mesure où cela est possible, compte tenu de la pénurie des informations disponibles) et la tradition à travers le seul manuscrit survivant de la Iohannis, le Trivultianus 686. Il sera fait un bref rappel à la tradition manuscrite du panégyrique corippéen In laudem Iustini. La question complexe du genre littéraire est également abordée, considérant que la Iohannis contient de nombreux éléments provenant du genre épique, parallèlement à une finalité clairement encomiastique envers Jean Troglita et l’empereur Justinien lui-même. Les principaux modèles littéraires sont traités autant que le cadre idéologique et religieux, la langue, le style et le métrique de la Iohannis. On passe ensuite à l’analyse du livre VI, en ce qui concerne: la composition littéraire (entre l’histoire et les stéréotypes traditionnels), le rôle du livre dans le cadre du poème, les formes épiques et l’intérêt historique (accordant une attention particulière aux ethnonymes locaux, à la politique byzantine à l’égard des tribus insurgées, au système de valeurs et à la spiritualité des Maures)Subject of this thesis is the sixth book of Flavius Cresconius Corippus’ Iohannis. This section is focused on the preparation and the progress of a big battle: the Moorish tribes reassemble and form a new coalition, a fact that comes with a total subversion of the narrative balance. An Italian full translation will be provided as well as the commentary of Coripp. Ioh. 6, 1-126. A rich introduction - divided into two main sections and preceding both the translation and commentary - primarily concerns Corippus’ historical and cultural background (to the extent that it is possible, considering the lack of information available) and the tradition of the Iohannis through the only surviving manuscript, the Trivultianus 686. A brief reference ismade to the manuscript tradition of Corippus’ panegyric In laudem Iustini. The complex issue of the literary genre is approached, since the Iohannis contains several elements arising from the epic genre, along with a clear encomiastic purpose torwards John Troglita and the Emperor Justinian himself. The main literary models are addressed as well as the ideological and religious framework, the language, the style and the metre of the Iohannis. After that the sixth book will be examined with regard to: literary composition (between history and literary stereotypes), role within the poem, epic shapes, historical interest (use of the indigenous ethnonyms; Byzantine policy towards the rebel tribes; Moorish value system and shared spirituality)

Full textAbstract:
Le but de ce travail est de fournir une interprétation de la pensée de Sextus Empiricus capable de rendre compte de l' esprit de la méthode sceptique. Les principales raisons qui rendent le scepticisme antique difficilement accessible, à savoir la confusion avec le scepticisme moderne et la lecture de l' oeuvre de Sextus Empiricus comme une doxographie ou une somme du scepticisme, sont d'abord exposées. Diverses hypothèses sur l'histoire du pyrrhonisme, en particulier les dates d'Enésidème, la nature de ses relations avec l'Académie, les liens entre le scepticisme et la médecine empirique, sont ensuite examinées. Suit une étude de la chronologie et du genre littéraire des oeuvres de Sextus, qui conclut à la postériorité des Esquisses pyrrhoniennes par rapport à Contre les professeurs VII-XI. Les indices recueillis sur l'usus scribendi de Sextus permettent ensuite de repérer quelques lignes de force de sa pensée: l' accent est mis sur son caractère dialectique et thérapeutique, tout comme sur l'importance de l'anomalie et l'absence d'une origine épistémologique du scepticisme antique. L 'histoire qui a conduit les pyrrhoniens à se considérer comme des sceptiques est égale- ment étudiée, tout comme la signification que revêt, aux yeux de Sextus, l' opposition entre scepticisme et dogmatisme. Cette réflexion est approfondie par un commentaire sélectif du début des Esquisses, qui se concentre sur le statut du discours pyrrhonien, la portée de la skepsis et les relations qu'entretiennent les notions de phénomène, de dogme et de critère

Curves of degree 6 in the complex projective space can be interpreted as surfaces. These sur-faces can have holes, how many holes a surface has is called its genus. This thesis will investigate exactly what genera these surfaces can have. First, an upper bound for the genus is found, which turns out to be 4. Then, examples of curves of each genera are found and we conclude that it is possible to construct sextic space curves of all genera up to 4.Kurvor av grad 6 i det komplexa projektiva rummet kan tolkas som ytor. Dessa ytor kan ha hål och hur många hål en yta har kallas för ytans genus. Denna uppsats undersöker exakt vilka genus som dessa ytor kan ha. Först bestäms en övre gräns för deras genus, denna övre begränsning visar sig vara 4. Sedan hittas exempel på kurvor för varje genus och vi drar slutsatsen att det är möjligt att skapa sjättegradsrymdkurvor av varje genus upp till och med 4.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess attitudes toward sexting, subjective norms toward sexting, self-esteem levels, sexting behavioral intentions, and sexting behaviors (i.e. sending, posting, or sharing/forwarding sexually suggestive messages, nude/semi-nude pictures/videos, or both) among selected undergraduate students and also to determine relationships among attitudes toward sexting, subjective norms toward sexting, self-esteem levels, sexting behavioral intentions, and sexting behaviors. Results of this study showed statistically significant differences in sexting behaviors among demographic variables gender, current relationship status, lifetime sexual partners and current sexual partners. Nearly 700 (n=697) surveys were completed from selected undergraduate students during the spring semester of 2011. According to the findings, there was statistically significant positive relationship between attitudes toward sexting, subjective norms toward sexting, sexting behavioral intentions, and sexting behaviors. Also, attitudes toward sexting, subjective norms toward sexting, and sexting behavioral intentions were found to predict lifetime sexting behaviors, with behavioral intentions as the strongest predictor sexting behaviors. For non-sexters, there was statistically significant positive relationship between attitudes toward sexting, subjective norms toward sexting, and sexting behavioral intentions. Attitudes and subjective norms toward sexting are both found to be predictors of behavioral intentions to sext for lifetime and current non-sexters, with attitudes toward sexting being the strongest predictor of sexting behavioral intentions. Future research on sexting should go even further in depth to help explain reasons for sexting as well as reasons for not sexting. Also, future research should explore the benefits of sexting among consensual adults, paying particular attention to how sexting is used for sexual communication and sexual assertiveness. Recommendations for the profession of health education and health educators focused on preventing negative consequences of underage sexting, and promoting the benefits of sexting among consenting adults in relationships with mutual respect for each other.

Esta tese é uma análise de Contra os gramáticos, tratado sobre a linguagem escrito quase vinte séculos atrás pelo cético Sexto Empírico. Dedicando-se a esse importante capítulo na história das idéias lingüísticas, o estudo tem em seu horizonte mais amplo contribuir para o entendimento das relações entre ceticismo e linguagem. Responde, em especial, a um cenário contemporâneo em que as virtudes das palavras para o entendimento e a comunicação são recorrentemente postas em dúvida – nas artes em geral, e também em expressiva parcela das reflexões teóricas produzidas no âmbito das ciências humanas e sociais. Partindo da hipótese de que o exame de uma das mais remotas manifestações do pensamento cético sobre a linguagem pode nos ajudar a compreender esse cenário, a pesquisa teve como perguntas norteadoras as seguintes: (i) que perspectiva(s) de linguagem informa(m) os argumentos de Sexto Empírico em seu tratado Contra os gramáticos? e (ii) Sob que aspectos da linguagem a dúvida cética recai nesse tratado? O antigo texto foi assim interrogado por meio de uma abordagem conscientemente anacrônica: tomamos como balizas de análise perspectivas contemporâneas de linguagem, a saber, aquelas que inflamaram o debate filosófico no âmbito da assim chamada virada lingüística, em que se pode discernir a oposição básica entre uma visão pragmática e uma visão representacionalista da linguagem. Reconhecendo que a contenda adquire inflexões substantivamente distintas conforme os autores que se tenha em mente, optamos aqui por tomar como referência mais específica a manifestação do referido antagonismo na filosofia de L. Wittgenstein – levando em conta sobretudo os interlocutores que dialogam em suas Investigações filosóficas. Uma primeira conclusão do estudo é que convivem na trama argumentativa de Contra os gramáticos duas proto-imagens de linguagem, associáveis respectivamente ao representacionalismo e ao pragmatismo. Outra conclusão a que chegamos é que, em Contra os gramáticos, a dúvida cética incide sobre a idéia de uma ordem intrínseca à linguagem, mas não sobre as suas virtudes práticas, cotidianas. Mostraremos ainda que a noção de linguagem comum, central em Contra os gramáticos, tem ali um status de solução, contrapondo-se a ambições metalingüísticas vistas como nocivas e fadadas ao insucesso. Por fim, concluímos que uma análise da mesma noção de linguagem comum em outras obras de Sexto Empírico desestabiliza esse status: a linguagem comum passa então a receber cuidados e a despertar escrúpulos sugestivos de que pode ser ao mesmo tempo solução e problema.
This thesis is an analysis of Sextus Empiricus’ Against the Grammarians – a skeptical treatise on language written almost twenty centuries ago. In addressing this important chapter in the history of linguistic ideas, the study aims more broadly at the understanding of the relationship between language and skepticism. It is thus specially responsive to a contemporary scenario, where the virtues of language to promote understanding and communication are systematically placed under suspicion – in the arts in general, as well as in a significant part of the theoretical reflections in human and social sciences. Assuming that the examination of one of the remotest manifestations of skeptical thought about language may help understanding this contemporary scenario, this research was guided by the following questions: (i) what perspective(s) on language inform(s) Sextus Empiricus’s arguments in Against the Grammarians?; and (ii) what aspects of language fall under skeptical doubt in this treatise? The ancient text was thus interrogated by means of a deliberately anachronic strategy: our analysis took contemporary perspectives of language as points of reference - views that inflamed philosophical debate after the so-called linguistic turn, and can roughly be distributed between a pragmatic and a representationalist perspective. Since the dispute assumes quite different inflections according to the authors one has in mind, we have opted to focus on the manifestation of this debate within the philosophy of L. Wittgenstein, notably by taking as references the opposing voices that come into dialogue in his Philosophical Investigations. A first conclusion of this study is that two proto-images of language coexist within the argumentative web of Against he Grammarians, views that parallel the representationalist and the pragmatic contemporary stances. Another conclusion is that, in this ancient treatise, skeptical doubt falls over the idea that language has an intrinsic order, but not over language’s practical and day-to-day virtues.

Full textAbstract:
It is well known that the general polynomial a_n*x^n + a_{n-1}*x^{n-₋¹} + ... + a₁x + a_0 cannot be solved algebraically for n ≥ 5; that is, it cannot be solved in terms of a finite number of arithmetic operations and radicals. We can, however, associate every irreducible sextic polynomial with a Galois group. The Galois group of a given polynomial can give us a great deal of information about the nature of the roots of a polynomial and it can also tell us if the polynomial itself is algebraically solvable. This leads to the typical problem in Galois theory: finding the Galois group of a given polynomial.
In this thesis, we investigate the inverse problem: for a specific Galois group, what irreducible polynomials occur. More specifically, we look at
monic trinomials - polynomials with only three terms, having 1 as the leading coeficient. The first unresolved case of trinomials are of degree six and we will look specifically at trinomials of the form
x⁶ + ax + b.
We begin by investigating families of these trinomials that will result in Galois groups having a particular structure. From these families of trinomials, we can then make a final determination of individual Galois groups after eliminating any reducible possibilities.
In the main calculations of this thesis, we investigate two parametric families of trinomials, one of which is given in [1]. From these families we completely characterize five of the possible sixteen Galois groups that can occur for sextic polynomials. In the notation of Butler and Mckay [2], these groups are 6T1, 6T2, 6T4, 6T5, and 6T6. In the final determination of these polynomials, rational points are found on genus 2 curves using a method known as elliptic Chabauty.
We give an introduction to Galois theory followed by a brief explanation of the methods used to attain our results. We then discuss our results and proceed to prove them through the use of powerful software such as MAPLE (tm) and the Magma algebra system [3].

Três diferentes poetas são abordados nesta pesquisa, sendo eles: Sexto Propércio, Ezra Pound e Mário Faustino, cada um de época e língua distintas. Pound traduziu criativamente Propércio e Mário Faustino traduziu parcialmente Pound, daí a possibilidade de relacioná-los; a tradução de Pound, central para este trabalho, é constituída por uma coletânea de doze poemas (e um extra) intitulada Homage to Sextus Propertius, dos quais apenas cinco foram traduzidos por Faustino. Pound mudou o modo de ler literatura latina em língua inglesa, propondo uma tradução que procurava ao mesmo tempo homenagear e renovar Propércio. Sua abordagem crítica e tradutória ressoou no Brasil através de poetas como Faustino e os irmãos Campos; além de levar em consideração seu paideuma, o ensinamento mais marcante de Pound retomado por Faustino é o da responsabilidade do poeta e de sua função na sociedade. A partir de uma apresentação da poesia de Propércio, analisamos comparativamente as traduções de Pound e Faustino, a fim de inferir quais foram as diferenças, perdas e os ganhos de cada uma, levando em conta o projeto tradutório e a época em que estavam inseridas. Por fim apresentamos uma proposta de tradução integral de Homage to Sextus Propertius, procurando aplicar na prática a discussão teórica sobre tradução que foi desenvolvida durante o trabalho.

Full textAbstract:
A travers une étude des rôles qu'elle joue dans la logique, dans la biologie et dans la métaphysique, nous avons tenté de montrer que la substance singulière est au centre de la philosophie leibnizienne, comme élément structurel premier de l'ordre du système et de l'ordre du monde. C'est de son caractère unifié et unificateur qu'elle tire ce statut d'élément premier. Toutefois, elle pose par nature deux problèmes fondamentaux : celui du rapport entre l'un et le multiple, et celui de la différence spécifique. En effet, s'il n'y a, comme l'affirme Leibniz, que des individus, et qu'ils diffèrent tous absolument, comment penser la composition du monde à partir de ces substances isolées, et comment penser que des éléments structurels puissent être essentiellement différents ? Nous avons tenté de montrer que c'est l'individuation de la substance singulière qui résout ces problèmes. Nous avons mis à jour trois processus d'individuation qui concourent à faire de la substance un individu à part entière, en même temps qu'un élément invariant du système et de la création. Le premier relève de la logique, le suivant concerne l'être vivant, le dernier regarde la métaphysique et le calcul divin effectué sur les possibles en vue de la création du meilleur des mondes.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I try to answer the question of what attitude the ancient sceptics had towards the notion of belief. I concern myself exclusively with Pyrrhonic scepticism, as it was described by Sextus Empiricus in his book Pyrrhoniai hypotyposeis. Pyrrhonic scepticism was an epistemological system with ethical ramifications, that questioned most of the conventional wisdom of the time, I begin by evaluating two infleuntial readings, by Michael Frede and Casey Perin. I then go on to make my own assessment. Ultimately, I show why Frede's view is the more plausible; the sceptics allowed themselves to hold beliefs about reality, not just appearance.

Full textAbstract:
Comment concilier scepticisme et maintien des apparences ? Soit le scepticisme nie les apparences et se rend informulable et impossible à vivre ; soit le maintien des apparences conduit à une forme de dogmatisme qui nie le scepticisme. Le premier chapitre de cette thèse démontre que, chez Sextus Empiricus, le conflit des apparences est le problème fondamental de la philosophie : l'apparence est ce dont il s'agit d'évaluer la vérité. Le chapitre suivant expose comment, chez lui, les philosophies qui nient que les apparences mènent au vrai, que ce soit le nihilisme, le relativisme ou l'intellectualisme, sont réfutées par auto-renversement et par renvoi à la primauté de l'apparence dans la connaissance. Mais le troisième chapitre met en évidence, inversement, que la défense de la thèse de la vérité des apparences, que ce soit comme philosophie du sens commun, réduction à l'affection privée ou sensualisme raffiné à la manière d'Épicure, est pareillement condamnée à l'impasse pour Sextus. Et, comme l'expose le quatrième chapitre, la voie intermédiaire, qui fait une distinction entre apparences vraies et fausses, est également impossible d'après lui du fait des apories du dualisme de la sensation et de la pensée, de l'indiscernabilité des apparences en conflit et de la relativité des circonstances de l'appréhension des choses. Le cinquième chapitre conclut que, suivant la pensée de Sextus, ce sont les principes épistémologiques reconnus par tout philosophe qui conduisent nécessairement au scepticisme, lequel, en empêchant la pensée d'attribuer le vrai ou le faux aux apparences, laisse place à un critère strictement pratique et dissout de fait le conflit des apparencesHow can skepticism be reconciled with the preservation of appearances? Either skepticism denies appearances thereby making itself impossible to formulate or to live by; or the preservation of appearances leads to some dogmatism that denies skepticism. The first chapter of this thesis shows that Sextus Empiricus treats conflicting appearances as the fundamental problem of philosophy: appearances are what we must judge to be true or false. The second chapter explains how, in his texts, philosophies denying that appearances could lead to truth —such as nihilism, relativism or intellectualism— are refuted by self-reversal and the fact that appearances are the first things to be known. Conversely, the third chapter follows Sextus's demonstration that defending the truth-value of appearances —either by a philosophy of common sense, or through a reduction to private affections, or even in a more refined manner as in Epicurian sensualism— also leads to a dead-end. Moreover, the fourth chapter demonstrates that, according to him, the intermediate way, which makes a distinction between true and false appearances, is impossible too, firstly because of the aporias caused by the dualism of sensation and thought, secondly because we are unable to distinguish between conflicting appearances, and thirdly because of the relativity of circumstances in which we apprehend things. The last chapter concludes from Sextus that skepticism is the necessary consequence of the epistemological principles admitted by every philosopher and that by preventing thought from attributing truth to appearances; it leads to a strictly practical criterion, thereby dissolving the conflict between appearances

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has as its focus five argumentative modes that lie at the heart of Sextus Empiricus’ Outlines of Pyrrhonism. They are the modes of disagreement, hypothesis, infinite regression, reciprocity and relativity. They are analysed, individually, in the first five chapters of the thesis (one mode per chapter) and, collectively, in the sixth. The first four chapters deal, respectively, with the modes of disagreement, hypothesis, infinite regression and reciprocity. They distinguish between two versions of these modes: “dogmatic versions”, on the basis of which a dogmatic philosopher, who holds some theoretical beliefs, might reach a sceptical conclusion; and “sceptical versions”, on the basis of which a sceptical philosopher, who lacks all theoretical beliefs, might do so. It is argued that scholars such as Jonathan Barnes have offered reconstructions of these modes which are dogmatic in the sense just described, and alternative sceptical versions of the modes are presented. A stand-alone fifth chapter offers an analysis of a stand-alone mode - the mode of relativity. It argues that there are in fact three different modes of relativity at play in the Outlines, that only one of them is non-trivial, and that the non-trivial version is incompatible with the mode of disagreement. The sixth and final chapter offers an analysis of how the modes (excluding relativity) are meant to work in combination with one another. Four different combinations are presented and it is argued that all of them are underscored by a variety of theoretical assumptions, which a sceptic, who lacks all theoretical beliefs, cannot make. The ultimate conclusion of the thesis is that, though the sceptic can deploy the various modes individually (by means of exercising his particular sceptical ability), he is not able to systematise them into a net by means of which he might trap his dogmatic opponent. Unless specified otherwise, translations are based on Annas, J., and Barnes, J., Sextus Empiricus: Outlines of Scepticism (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000).

Full textAbstract:
Six mots. Six mots avec 720 possibilités de combinaisons se retrouvent dans l’ordre initial après seulement six tours, dans une permutation à rétrogradation croisée. Six mots qui résonnent plusieurs fois à la fin des vers qui changent de signification, comme le kaléidoscope modifie les couleurs. Ce mécanisme a un nom : la sextine lyrique. Une forme poétique, une série numérique, une musique lointaine. La sextine lyrique est le symbole de la rencontre des savoirs, des racines communes à des sciences désormais lointaines et séparées en sphères de compétences spécifiques. Cette étude se propose de retrouver, de reconnaître intuitivement ce sens commun d’appartenance entre musique, mathématiques et poésie en reparcourant les traces de l’histoire de la sextine lyrique, ses transformations et d’autres formes d’approches, en se questionnant sur les mécanismes qui sont partie intégrante de la formation de la parole en tant que son, et sur la manière dont ce son se transforme en signe, comment ce signe redevient son, le nombre symbole, forme, rythme ; pour finir vient la proposition et l’étude d’une nouvelle variante de la sextine lyrique dans un projet de réalisation d’un spectacle proposé sous forme d’expérience de rechercheSix words. Six words with 720 possibilities of combinations meetS in the initial order after only six tours, in the permutation with crossed degradation. Six words which resound several times at the end with the verses which change meaning, as the kaleidoscope modifies colors. This mechanism has a name: the lyric sextine. A poetic shape, a numeric series, a distant music. The lyric sextine is the symbol of the meeting of the knowledges, the common roots to sciences henceforth distant and separated in spheres of specific skills. This study suggests finding, recognizing intuitively this common sense of membership between music, mathematics and poetry running over the tracks of the history of the lyric sextine, its transformations and the other forms of approaches, by questioning on the mechanisms which are integral part of the training of the word as sound, and on the way this sound is transformed into sign, how this sign becomes again sound, the number symbol, shape, rhythm. To finish comes the proposition and the study of a new variant of the lyric sextine in a project for realization of a show proposed in the form of research experience

C. An original french translation of this work is added. The critical edition is preceded by a study of the manuscript tradition based on essentially unpublished facts. The two known manuscripts, kept in oxford an brussels, have a common ancestor, but that of brussels derives from il only at a second degree. This common ancestor, like the codex metelli, more ancient but having disappeared during the sixteenth century, are copies of the same archetype interpolated with excerpts from the historia miscella. A new stemma is offered. Two appendices conclude this thesis : firstly on the sources and users of victor's work, secondly on sallustius and tacitus' influence upon victor's style

Full textAbstract:
El sexting es la conducta de enviar, recibir y/o reenviar fotos y/o vídeos de contenido sexual
mediante dispositivos electrónicos o redes sociales. Aunque el sexting voluntario y consensuado entre
adultos esta considerado como una forma de expresión sexual normativa, el sexting es un
comportamiento de riesgo que actúa como umbral para otras formas de victimización sexual online,
como el sexting coercitivo, el abuso sexual basado en imágenes o la sextorsión. Las consecuencias
psicológicas en las víctimas pueden variar desde baja autoestima, disminución del rendimiento o
alteraciones del sueño hasta implicaciones más severas como la depresión, ansiedad y la ideación
suicida, especialmente en adolescentes y jóvenes adultos.
Teniendo esto en cuenta, el objetivo principal de la presente tesis doctoral es analizar los
comportamientos de sexting y de victimización sexual online, y su asociación con la psicopatología.
El objetivo de la presente tesis doctoral se ha basado en cuatro principales hipótesis: a) que los
estudiantes universitarios que se involucran en conductas de sexting presentarían más psicopatología
que aquellos que no se involucran en conductas de sexting; b) aquellos estudiantes que son
sexualmente victimizados online también presentarían más psicopatología que aquellos que no
habían sido victimizados, y que existirían claras diferencias entre hombres y mujeres; c) que la
asociación entre sexting y psicopatología diferiría en base al nivel de consentimiento existente y al
género; y d) que el perfil psicopatológico de los perpetradores de sexting coercitivo diferiría del perfil
de los no-perpetradores. La muestra está compuesta por 1370 estudiantes universitarios españoles
(73.6% mujeres; media de edad 21.4; DS= 4.85) que han participado en una encuesta online. Los
comportamientos de sexting y victimización y perpetración sexual online se han medido utilizando
una versión modificada del Juvenile Online Victimization – Questionnaire (JOV-Q), y la psicopatología
se ha medido utilizando un instrumento clínicamente validado en población española (LSB-50).
Los resultados se han presentado mediante compendio de artículos, con cuatro artículos de
investigación originales. El primer artículo ha sido un análisis preliminar, cuyos resultados indican
que aquellos estudiantes universitarios que se implican en conductas de sexting muestran más
psicopatología que aquellos que no practican sexting, confirmando así la primera hipótesis. El
segundo artículo ha analizado la asociación entre el sexting, la victimización sexual online y tres
medidas psicopatológicas (psicopatología global, depresión y ansiedad) por género. Los resultados
han mostrado que los hombres y las mujeres participan de formas distintas en los comportamientos
de sexting, y que las mujeres son más presionadas y amenazadas para practicar sexting que los
hombres. Asimismo, los resultados han señalado que en hombres sólo existe una asociación
significativa entre la victimización sexual online y la psicopatología, mientras que en las mujeres
también se ha encontrado una asociación entre la psicopatología y el sexting. El tercer artículo ha
investigado los correlatos psicopatológicos de diferentes comportamientos de sexting coercitivo por
género. Los resultados han subrayado diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres: los
hombres presentan una mayor probabilidad de ejercer coerción, mientras que las mujeres presentan
una mayor probabilidad de ser víctimas de sexting coercitivo. Además, los resultados en relación a la
psicopatología han mostrado una asociación significativa entre todos los comportamientos (sexting
y victimización sexual online) y peores indicadores de salud mental para las mujeres, confirmándose
así la tercera hipótesis planteada. Finalmente, el cuarto artículo ha examinado el perfil
psicopatológico de los perpetradores de sexting coercitivo y las diferencias por género. Los resultados
de los análisis han mostrado importantes diferencias entre perpetradores y no perpetradores, y los
hombres y las mujeres perpetradores presentan perfiles psicopatológicos similares. Por todo ello, los
datos recabados del presente estudio indican que, en general, no existe una relación sólida entre los
comportamientos de sexting y peores indicadores de salud mental, pero sí existe una relación sólida
entre la victimización sexual online y peores indicadores de salud mental, con importantes diferencias
entre hombres y mujeres. La presente investigación contribuye a una comprensión y un conocimiento
más profundos de la relación existente entre el sexting, la victimización sexual online, el sexting
coercitivo y la psicopatología, teniendo en especial consideración las diferencias entre sexos

Full textAbstract:
Doctor of PhilosophyThis dissertation argues that if we are to respect the common sense perspective then Pyrrhonian scepticism can be neither avoided nor defeated. While Pyrrhonian scepticism can be diagnosed it cannot be cured, at least, so long as we take a non-revisionary attitude towards common sense. The fundamental reason for this is that Pyrrhonian scepticism derives from the application of norms of inquiry that constitute part of the content of common sense in unusual but not fanciful or impossible situations. Implicit in this dissertation is a distinction between Cartesian and Pyrrhonian scepticisms, and for present purposes these two scepticisms can be distinguished on two criteria. First, unlike Cartesian scepticism, Pyrrhonian scepticism is not global in its doubts. It is not global because it does not attempt to question our entitlement to entire domains of commitment, for instance commitments to anything beyond the content of our perceptions, all at once. Nor does Pyrrhonism attempt to deny the possibility of knowledge. Rather, Pyrrhonian scepticism questions our entitlement to one commitment at a time and is hence iterative rather than global. This leads to the second far more interesting criterion in that unlike its Cartesian cousin Pyrrhonian scepticism claims not to be revisionary of the common sense perspective. In fact Pyrrhonian scepticism represents itself as the common sense perspective under special conditions. On this reading Pyrrhonian scepticism is a form of common sense scepticism. The claim that Pyrrhonian scepticism is commonsensical calls for a clarification of in what exactly the common sense perspective consists, and its relationship to scepticism. Of particular interest in this regard is a position that has been called Common Sense Naturalism (CSN). CSN consists, in part, in three important claims. First, that we are constrained, both logically and psychologically, to take ourselves to have an entitlement to common sense. Second, that because we are thus constrained, we have an entitlement to those commitments that constitute the content of common sense. Third, that the content of common sense is inherently anti-sceptical. These three claims jointly warrant Page 5 Page 6 the conclusion that appeals to commitments to which we are commonsensically entitled can feature prominently in refutations of scepticism. I argue that CSN is incorrect in that even if we have an entitlement to our common sense commitments we have an equally valid entitlement to Pyrrhonian scepticism, as Pyrrhonian scepticism can be derived from the common sense perspective itself. I also argue that CSN is correct but misleading in suggesting that we are constrained, both logically and psychologically, to take ourselves to have an entitlement to the content of common sense. CSN is correct in that we are always forced to take ourselves to be entitled to some commonsensical commitments but overlooks the fact that the content of these commitments varies, becoming at times amenable to Pyrrhonian scepticism. In fact what we take to be commonsensical is sensitive to our mood at the time. This can be used to explain that feature of the phenomenology of scepticism according to which Pyrrhonian scepticism is a recurrent but not a constant problem. Presenting these arguments requires both that the nature of CSN be clarified (chapter 1), that the relationship between common sense and Pyrrhonian scepticism be established (Chapter 2). Finally, we must also provide an account of the content of common sense be given (Chapter 3) which provides warrant for continued inquisitive activities even after the emergence of Pyrrhonian scepticism from within common sense.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, sexting has gained popularity in both popular press and academic publications. Despite the prevalence of this communicative behavior, there is limited research that focuses on a theoretical explanation as well as how it can potentially enhance relationships. The purpose of this dissertation was threefold: to utilize the multiple goals theoretical perspective to examine sender goals when sexting, to assess if multiple goals within sexting was associated with relational behaviors and outcomes, and to develop a reliable and valid scale for sexting goals.
A two-phase study was implemented. In phase 1, participants provided actual sexting messages they had recently sent to another person, and also provided their goal when they sent that particular message. Participants also answered scales related to relationship, communication, and sexual satisfaction, affectionate communication, and relational maintenance behaviors. Analytic coding was utilized for the open-ended responses regarding message content and goals, and the researcher also used the responses to develop participant- and theoretically-driven scales. Nine themes were identified for the type of goal participants had when sending sext messages. For phase 2, the proposed scale for the multiple goals of sexting was added to the preexisting survey. The researcher coded 204 sexting messages provided by participants as instrumental, relational, or identity goals and conducted multiple regressions to assess how the type of goal influenced each of the five relational outcomes. Multiple regressions revealed no significant associations among multiple goals and outcomes. Finally, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the proposed scale for the multiple goals of sexting. The EFA revealed a four-factor solution and the CFA demonstrated factorial validity for the scale. Post hoc analysis revealed significant associations for the goals from the scale and the relational outcomes. The results of this dissertation demonstrate that multiple goals are utilized in the context of sexting, and that specific goals are important for relational outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
In a cyborg society where people exist both organically and via technology, sexual expression and interaction via technology has become 'normal'. The controversy surrounding sexting stems from contemporary literature and media portraying it as coercive, harmful and unacceptable, with particular reference to young females. Qualitative data on this phenomenon is extremely limited and biased, potentially resulting in unjust limitations and restrictions. This study investigates Millennial sexting behaviour by considering general and gendered perceptions of sexting to better understand the phenomenon; its risks, benefits, and the practice itself. An exploratory mixed methods study amongst university students (N = 579) revealed expected and unexpected findings. Respondents acknowledged sexting's risks, while the benefits of and motivations for sexting were emphasised with little evidence of negative pressure. It is argued that the benefits of sexting greatly outweigh the potential risks, but moreover, that sexting is a primarily feminist practice that holds much promise. The need for sextual education and awareness of sext-consent is examined, as theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

Analysen av materialet utgår från ett kulturanalytiskt perspektiv, med inspiration från performativitetsteori, en konstruktivistisk förståelse av genus och ålder, samt ett intersektionellt perspektiv. Resultaten visar att det finns en ovilja att tala om och identifiera sig som gammal, att vissa sätt att åldras konstrueras som mer önskvärda, att sätt att motverka ensamhet bland äldre förstärker normen av ensamhet som något stigmatiserat, samt att ålder och åldrande konstrueras och får innebörd i relation till andra maktaspekter, däribland genus, civilstånd och sexualitet. Studiens slutsats är att föreställningar om ålder och åldrande inverkar på intervjupersonernas sätt att förstå och tala om sig själva, att upplevelsen av ålder konstrueras i relation till normsystem och kontext och att förståelsen av ålder inverkar på förhållningssätt till ensamhet och singelskap.

Full textAbstract:
Recent work on the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel has emphasized his interest in skeptical concerns. These contemporary scholars argue that, despite common opinions to the contrary, Hegel actually had a very keen interest in skepticism, one that informed and motivated much of his overall project. While I welcome this recent literature, I argue here that contemporary scholars have overemphasized the importance of skepticism for Hegel. By looking closely at Hegel’s arguments against skepticism in the Phenomenology of Spirit, I argue that Hegel’s anti-skeptical arguments are in fact major failures. Hegel’s failure is at odds with the emphasis that contemporary literature places on Hegel’s interests in skepticism. For a philosopher who was supposedly centrally concerned with skeptical issues, Hegel sure does not act like it. I conclude that the tension here is the result of contemporary scholars’ overemphasis of the role that skepticism plays in Hegel’s project.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores young people’s perceptions and practices surrounding ‘youth sexting’, particularly regarding privacy and consent. Youth sexting – involving the production and exchange of sexual images or messages via mobile phones and other communication technologies – has attracted media attention, public concern, and research and policy focus for some time, particularly regarding the perceived harmful nature of the practice (Crofts et al., 2015). This thesis situates harmful practices in terms of breaches of privacy and consent. The research is used to advocate for progressive, harm-reduction approaches to responding to youth sexting that centralise ethics, justice and equality, and give rights to sexual and bodily expression and exploration, as well as freedom from harm. Group and one-to-one interviews with young people revealed narratives of individualism and responsibilisation regarding harmful sexting practices. Intertwined were moralising discourses about harm-avoidance, which underpinned a demarcation of deserving and undeserving victims, and promoted victim-blaming. Analyses revealed however, that risk and harm was not inherent to sexting and was shaped by norms and standards surrounding gender and sexuality, and local peer group dynamics and hierarchies. The designation of some forms of bodily and sexual expression as shameful and illegitimate shaped harmful practices and were incorporated into young people’s self-concepts in ways that both reproduced and resisted established systems of meaning. The findings suggest that rather than being caused by technology, youth sexting should be understood as a complex, negotiated practice situated within young people’s peer, digital, relational, and sexual cultures. The thesis explores young people’s perspectives on addressing youth sexting, and concludes by emphasising the need to disrupt and challenge the meanings underpinning shame and stigma, and the responsibilisation of individuals to deal with inequality and harm.

Full textAbstract:
Developments in technology have changed the way we do everything; advanced our research capabilities, enhanced our communication abilities and speeds, even the way people commit crimes. It provides perpetrators with a new way to commit traditional crimes as well as new forms of crime. One of the many opportunities involved with increased communication devices is known as sexting. Adolescent sexting has received national and local attention due to possible long-term implications such as registering as a sex offender and even suicide. Sexting, which is considered an antisocial behavior among adolescents, has progressively become implicated in peer pressure as well. Peer pressure causes individuals to commit cruel acts or crimes in which they normally would not do because they are forced, or feel obligated to do so, by their peers. Further study into peer pressure and sexting is needed to discover if peer pressure and opportunity are the reasons why adolescents engage in sexting. To discover this, I surveyed college undergraduate students to determine the causes behind their sexting habits in high school.

Full textAbstract:
While some research has been done on the influence of music lyrics on sexual behaviors in general, none has explored the lyrical influence on sexting. The goal of the current study is to explore the longitudinal influence of sexual and sexually objectifying lyrics on adolescent sexting behaviors. Participants were 125 14-year-old adolescents who were recruited from high schools in Texas. Participants completed questionnaires on music preferences, sexual behaviors and impulsivity and were given BlackBerry devices through which frequency of sexual text message utterances was obtained. Music preferences were then quantitatively analyzed using the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) software. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the influence of both sexual and sexually objectifying lyrics on sexting behavior. Additionally, biological sex and impulsivity were explored as moderators. Analyses revealed that 40.65% of adolescents participated in some form of sexting at Time 3 (42.81% at Time 1) but that music lyrics had little direct influence on sexting. However, biological sex appeared to moderate the relationship between sexual lyrics and sexting such that males were much more likely to participate in sexting when exposed to sexual lyrics where females were not. These and other results are discussed as well as implications for parents and the need for further research on sexting and the behavioral influence of musical lyrics.

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em CriminologiaO presente projeto de graduação realizado no âmbito da Licenciatura em Criminologia da Universidade Fernando Pessoa versa sobre a temática da utilização das redes sociais por menores e os seus consequentes riscos. Numa sociedade cada vez mais orientada para as novas tecnologias da informação, é de todo importante realçar o fenómeno crescente das Redes Sociais online, que de certa forma influenciam o modo de vida de cada individuo. As Redes Sociais, vistas como fatores de aculturação e socialização, são assim bastante utilizadas por menores e adolescentes, encontrando-se estes expostos a diversos riscos que importam analisar. Na primeira parte deste projeto será efetuada a revisão da literatura no que diz respeito à utilização da internet e redes sociais onde será possível identificar quais os riscos que apresentam maior prevalência como é o caso do CyberBullying, CyberStalking e Sexting. Na segunda é apresentado um estudo empírico com um projeto de investigação que incidirá sobre a aplicação de inquéritos em duas escolas compostas com turmas do 5º ao 12º ano para assim atingir o intervalo etário situado entre os 10 e os 17 anos.Com esta metodologia pretende-se: aferir os hábitos dos menores relacionados com a utilização da internet; constatar qual a prevalência do acompanhamento parental; verificar a existência de eventuais vítimas nos riscos mencionados, e se a informação existente sobre a temática será adequada.
This undergraduate project carried out within the scope of the Degree in Criminology of the Fernando Pessoa University deals with the theme of the use of social networks by minors and their consequent risks. In a society increasingly oriented towards new information technologies, it is important to highlight the growing phenomenon of online social networks, which in a way influence the way of life of each individual. The Social Networks, seen as factors of acculturation and socialization, are thus widely used by minors and adolescents, and these are exposed to several risks that need to be analyzed. In the first part of this project will be carried out the literature review regarding the use of the internet and social networks where it will be possible to identify the risks that present higher prevalence such as Cyberbullying, Cyberstalking and Sexting. In the second, an empirical study is presented with a research project that will focus on the application of questionnaires by inquiry in two schools composed of groups from grades 5th to 12th degree, to reach the age range between 10 and 17 years. With this methodology, it’s intended to: assess the habits of minors related to the use of the Internet; verify the prevalence of parental follow-up; to verify the existence of possible victims in the mentioned risks, and if the existing information on the subject will be adequate.
