Connection and variety are the quintessential characteristics of successful urban neighborhoods – variety in places to shop, products to buy, income level of residents, and in the interests and activities of the people who populate the sidewalks. Urban variety is not the consequence of population density alone: people must be in contact with one another, if only visually, for the place to succeed. The inside must communicate with the outside. For a city to work, its people must only follow the simple epigrammatic advice of E.M. Forster – Only connect.
A place which facilitates connections must propose a physical variegation: different sizes of places, polyvalent places, places diverse in age and in cost. At the scale of the dwelling, diversity necessitates an economy of material and action, through which even a relatively modest apartment can become an excellent home.
Recognizing, then, these fundamentals, is it possible to apply them in such a way that a single project may provide the seed for urban growth in a misused part of a city district? And what constitutes such a seed – what components are indispensable for it to grow? How does the articulation of degrees of privacy energize the city? The question requires that the city, both general and particular, is understood.Master of Architecture

Magister Artium - MAAccording to our ordinary conception of voluntary action, our actions are the causal result of conscious intentions. To take a very basic example: I wish to take a sip of coffee, and I therefore reach out and take hold of the mug. However, studies performed by Libet challenge this ordinary conception. What Libet found in his experiments was that the brain initiates voluntary actions and the person becomes consciously aware of an intention to act only some 400 msec after the brain’s initiation; for instance, my brain has already initiated the process of causing my arm to reach out and take hold of the mug some 400 msec before I am aware that I wish to take a sip of coffee. That is, conscious intention doesn’t appear to precede voluntary action at all – it actually follows it (or follows its initiation, at least), and thus Libet’s studies present a serious challenge to our ordinary conception of voluntary action. This project will investigate whether a particular theory of mind – namely, Armstrong’s Central State Materialism – can cope with the challenge posed by Libet’s studies and salvage our ordinary conception of voluntary action. Armstrong’s theory appears promising in this regard because his account of consciousness and introspection as higher-order states seems to allow room that we will become aware of our willings only after those willings are already initiated.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
William George Armstrong (1310-1900) is best remembered as the lawyer turned engineer who revolutionised ordnance during the Crimean War. Nonetheless, 'his researches, his evidence before Royal Commissions and his presidential addresses, (including that to the British Association for the Advancement of Science), are as relevant today as they were last century. Indeed, it could be argued that whereas George and Robert Stephenson were, essentially, men of the Industrial Revolution, Armstrong’s theories are .still appropriate in the space age. Apart from his extensive research into hydraulics and electricity, which greatly advanced the frontiers of science, his contribution to education is considerably more than a mere footnote to his more spectacular achievements. At a time when the men of theory and the men of practice despised each other, Armstrong stood athwart the debate. Instead, he built an educational and industrial complex at Elswick where theory and practice went hand in hand and which became the blue-print for successive Royal Commissions. While others argued for technical education on continental lines, Armstrong upheld the Elswick example. His reluctant involvement in the proposed College of Physical Science in Newcastle upon Tyne is the subject of some debate in this study. Nonetheless, when he was finally convinced of its efficacy, his support was unequivocal. So much so that, after his death, the resultant edifice became Newcastle's abiding memorial to him. Two recent biographies have been used as works of general reference, but the main thesis rests on extensive use of original material. This includes Armstrong's speeches and writings; his evidence before Royal Commissions and the records of the Elswick forks' Mechanics' Institute and Schools. Hitherto, Armstrong's fame has rested on his weapons which destroyed human life. His greatest weapon - his contribution to science and education - which destroyed the 'laissez faire' attitudes of his contemporaries, has been largely ignored. In an endeavour to redress the balance, this study has been attempted.

This work is a study on the theory of laws of nature proposed by the Australian philosopher D. M. Armstrong in his work What is a Law of Nature?, published in 1983. In that text, Armstrong shows the insufficiency of the regularty theory and, then, proceeds to develop his own theory, which is able to answer to several of the regularity theory's outstanding issues. In the first chapter of this work, we present (1.1) the naive regularity theory, as well as the critiques that it received from Armstrong and other authors. Afterwards (1.2), we present three suggestions to sophisticate that theory, which are not successful to address the difficulties found in its naive version. Therefore, the regularity theory is refuted, and a new theory of laws is needed. In the second chapter, we present, firstly (2.1), an assumption of Armstrong's theory of laws his realism about universals , and we see how it can be applied to a theory of laws. Afterwards (2.2), we present Armstrong's fundamental thesis: a law is a relation between universals and simultaneously an universal in itself, which regulates the behavior of particulars and generates uniformities in nature in virtue of the instaniation relation. We also show (2.3) how such theory makes it possible to deal with the difficulties faced by the regularity theory. In the third chapter, we evaluate the role of the concept of necessity in Armstrong's theory. Firstly (3.1), we deepen our understanding of the necessitation relation N, and, afterwards (3.2), we show that Armstrong rejects the thesis according to which laws are metaphisically necessary and advocates for their contingency. Therefore, the understanding of his theory is centered in the distinction between the nomic necessity asserted in his conception of laws, on one hand, and the metaphysic necessity of laws, which Armstrong denies, on the other
Este trabalho é um estudo sobre a teoria de leis da natureza proposta pelo filósofo australiano D. M. Armstrong em sua obra What is a Law of Nature?, publicada em 1983. Neste texto, Armstrong mostra a insuficiência da teoria regularista de leis e procede, então, a desenvolver sua própria teoria, que se mostra capaz de resolver diversos problemas que a teoria regularista deixava em aberto. No primeiro capítulo deste trabalho, apresentamos (1.1) a teoria regularista ingênua, bem como as críticas que ela recebeu de Armstrong e de outros autores. Em seguida (1.2), mostramos que três propostas de sofisticação da teoria não são bem-sucedidas para resolver as dificuldades encontradas na versão ingênua. A teoria regularista fica, assim, refutada, e uma nova teoria sobre leis é necessária. No segundo capítulo, apresentamos, primeiramente (2.1), um pressuposto à teoria de leis de Armstrong seu realismo sobre universais , e vemos como este pode ser aplicado a uma teoria de leis. A seguir (2.2), apresentamos a tese fundamental de Armstrong: uma lei é uma relação entre universais e, simultaneamente, um universal em si mesma que, devido à relação de instanciação, regula o comportamento de particulares e gera uniformidades na natureza. Mostramos, também, (2.3) como tal teoria permite dar conta das dificuldades enfrentadas pela teoria regularista. No terceiro capítulo, avaliamos o papel do conceito de necessidade na teoria de Armstrong. Em primeiro lugar (3.1), aprofundamos nosso entendimento da relação de necessitação N, que tem um papel central na teoria apresentada, e, a seguir (3.2), mostramos que Armstrong rejeita a tese de que leis são metafisicamente necessárias, defendendo sua contingência. O entendimento de sua teoria está centrado, portanto, na distinção entre a necessidade nômica afirmada em sua concepção de leis, por um lado, e a necessidade metafísica das leis, que Armstrong rejeita

The Bluff Creek complex is a series of archeological sites along the Bluff Creek drainage system in Harper and Sumner Counties in south central Kansas. It is one of the least well understood archaeological complexes of the Middle Ceramic Period (A.D. 900-1500). The recent excavation of a series of features at the Armstrong site (14HP5) in Harper County, Kansas provides new data which serves to bring the archaeological record of south-central Kansas into sharper focus. New radiocarbon dates provide solid footing for the temporal placement of Bluff Creek among its contemporaries in the southern and central Plains and substantial artifact inventories allow for the comparison of Bluff Creek sites with neighboring and distant groups. A reanalysis of ceramic sherds previously reported for 14HP5 indicates that the ceramic assemblage from Bluff Creek sites is more homogeneous than was thought. Analysis of artifacts obtained in the 2004-2005 excavations at the Armstrong Site indicate that horticulture and bison hunting were of immense importance. The faunal assemblage indicates an early emphasis on bison hunting. In addition to recent excavations, local collectors have graciously allowed their collections to be documented and have offered information about site locations and the local environment. All of this new data allows a preliminary definition of the Bluff Creek phase and its differentiation from contemporaneous groups in the southern and central Plains.Thesis (M.A)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Anthropology

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Different structural elements at high temperatures and cyclic loading demonstrate essential creep behavior.
Due to variety of materials which are used in modern industrial applications the different forms of creep
response have to be analyzed. The one of them presents in materials are characterized by creep processes with
essential recovery, which is expressed by strain decreasing after the unloading. Such material behavior is
described by well-known Armstrong-Frederick model.
The case of cyclic loading leading to forced oscillations at high temperature is studied. The Armstrong-
Frederick creep model contains two equations: first for creep strain rate function as well as the second for socalled
backstress evolution. The problem is solved by two time scales methods with subsequent averaging in a
period of oscillations.
The solution was performed for the hyperbolic creep strain rate function which satisfactory describes the
high-temperature behavior of advanced steel with primary creep conditions. The stress function is presented by
expansion in Fourier series. Asymptotic solution of creep equations was obtained and by use of the procedure
of averaging in the period the new model describing ‘slow’ creep motion has been derived. The analytical
forms of influence functions for both equations of the model expressing the role of cyclical loading were
obtained.
Numerical examples which demonstrate the cyclic creep behavior in advanced steel X20CrMoV12-l are
presented and discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the causes and historical impact of the Armstrong investigation into the practices of the life insurance industry. As a long-time admirer of Charles Evans Hughes, and a serious student of the history of insurance, I found the opportunity of looking into an important part of Hughes's early career and the most significant event in the annals of insurance history to be especially compelling, particularly as my research came to show the need to re-assess much of what previously has been written about the episode.In addition to basic resource materials available at Bracken Library, I found that extensive use of contemporary newspaper accounts, principally those in the Chicago Tribune andNew York Times, revealed the vivid images that caught so well the attention and imagination of the American public in 1905. I also have made valuable use of James Hazen Hyde's personal papers in the archival section of Baker Library at Harvard University. This important collection of private correspondence and records has been largely overlooked by insurance historians writing about the period. Those who have written about the New York Times also have ignored the Hyde material, most significantly the items linking the financial condition of the New York Times with the Equitable Life Assurance Society, the principal firm in the great financial scandal. That embarrassing link explains the newspaper's restrained and even bland reporting and editorials concerning the unfolding events.Little mention is given the Armstrong investigation in the insurance textbooks used in American colleges and universities. The occasional references to the most important public investigative body of its time are limited to phrases beginning with "because of" or "prior to" and rarely provide more than a minimal amount of background explanation. Certainly more of the history of insurance needs to be taught.While institutions of higher learning offer students the opportunity to study the history of many subjects, such as art, music, medicine, law, and economics, none of the more than two hundred universities in the country offering insurance courses includes study of the history of insurance. Of the many rich and intriguing events in the realm of insurance, the story of the Armstrong investigation, with its startling findings and resulting widespread reform legislation, should serve well as the nucleus of an insurance history text. Completion of such a textbook indeed will finish the work started by this thesis.Department of History

The failed New Orleans Cultural Center Complex was cultural genocide to an area of the neighborhood known as Treme, where a tribute to the jazz great and native son, Louis Armstrong, was planned as an afterthought. The questions remain, was the planning and building of Louis Armstrong Park responsible for the genocide of the Treme neighborhood, is the park an appropriate use of land, and what are the prospects for the park's future? This thesis examines the cultural gumbo of New Orleans history, explores the early days of Louis Armstrong and the development of jazz, sets the record straight by vindicating the Louis Armstrong Park as the culprit for demolition in Treme, and takes a look at "the Back ‘o Town" as a tribute to him.

O presente estudo buscou apreender parte da realidade social retratada na Decisão Fundamentada da Agência Antidoping dos Estados Unidos (USADA), na qual foram descritas todas as violações as normas do antidoping cometidas pelo respeitado e reverenciado ciclista Lance Armstrong e sua equipe a U.S. Postal. Para tal, baseou-se na análise dos testemunhos dos ex-ciclistas da referida equipe, o Código da Agência Mundial Antidoping (AMA-WADA), o histórico dos testes antidoping realizados pelo atleta, a Investigação Independente promovida pela União Ciclística Internacional sobre o teste positivo para EPO nas amostras coletadas do desportista durante o Tour de France de 1999 e o relatório técnico do teste positivo para EPO nas amostras do mesmo ano, todos estes documentos anexados a referida Decisão. Adotando uma perspectiva teórica e metodológica oriunda da sociologia simétrica de Bruno Latour, podemos perceber que a confirmação do doping do desportista só foi possível graças ao trabalho de um conjunto de híbridos tecnológicos, os quais revelaram a presença de inúmeros actantes ilícitos performando e delimitando as práticas do atleta. Deste modo, imprimiu-se um novo olhar sobre a carreira do ciclista, tendo em vista a interação deste com os seus aliados EPO (eritropoietina), Cortisona, Testosterona, Doping Sanguíneo, Actoveig, entre outros híbridos que serão apresentados no decorrer da análise. Recontar a história do ciclista sob a ótica de seus alistamentos nos fez perceber que o ciclismo, por ele praticado, não existe sem a concorrência dos distintos não-humanos que ajudam a estabilizar seu conceito, como prática desportiva. Em si tratando das provas científicas que embasaram a Decisão Fundamentada da USADA, observou-se os momentos de produção e significação da realidade nos quais o idioma performativo do doping remodelou o conceito de ciclismo profissional, praticado por Armstrong e muitos outros de sua geração.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Given the increased use of microcomputers in school library media centers to perform a wide variety of tasks, library educators should address the integration of microcomputers into the library media curriculum. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to describe how library educators were integrating microcomputer applications such as word processing, database management, spreadsheets, and other applications into the library education curriculum. A secondary purpose was using the results of the study as a framework for the integration of microcomputer applications in appropriate areas of library media core courses at Armstrong State College, Georgia. Savannah.
The specific research questions addressed in the study were as follows: How were library media educators currently providing instruction in microcomputers? How many undergraduate level library programs used microcomputer applications? What types of microcomputers were being used? How were microcomputer applications being used? Which courses used microcomputer applications? What kinds of microcomputer applications were being used by library media educators? How many library educators used locally produced applications? What were the content areas of locally produced applications? What provisions had been made for the availability of microcomputers? What factors had limited the extent to which library media educators were able to introduce microcomputer applications? What relationships existed between geographic region and program type and providing instruction in microcomputers as a part of the undergraduate library education program?
In an effort to ascertain the extent to which library educators were using microcomputers, a survey questionnaire was mailed to 357 library educators representing 213 undergraduate library education programs in the United States. Of the 357 library educators mailed questionnaires, there were 202 returns or a 57 percent rate of return. Of this number, 92 responses were excluded from consideration because some institutions were no longer offering undergraduate library education programs, others offered only graduate programs, some library educators had retired or moved, other library educators had checked the First box on the questionnaire indicating that the teaching of library education courses was not one of their current responsibilities, and one respondent did not participate because the school had closed. These questionnaires were eliminated from the study; only 110 questionnaires were used.
The nature of the data suggested the use of descriptive percentages. Statistics, primarily frequencies and However, chi-square analysis was used to determine whether a significant relationship existed between geographic region of library educators or program type and current use of microcomputers in library education.
Results of the survey showed that 87, or 79.1 percent of the library educators representing 75 undergraduate programs were introducing microcomputer applications into the library education curriculum. Perhaps the most significant fact was that the majority of library educators were currently providing instruction in microcomputers by using a separate course or integrating microcomputer applications in library education courses. Cataloging was the course that most frequently incorporated microcomputer applications. Complementing lectures was the instructional method most frequently identified. In-class instruction was used to prepare and train students to use microcomputers. Word processing was the application most frequently used and Word Perfect was the word processing program of choice. Apple and IBM were the predominant brands used by library educators. Most microcomputers were located in a room designated as a computer lab or in the library. Finally, a lack of funds was the reason most cited as the greatest barrier in integrating microcomputer applications in library education courses. It was concluded that most library educators were introducing microcomputers in the library education curriculum.
Recommendations were suggested for ways to integrate microcomputer applications into the library education curriculum. It was recommended that library educators introduce microcomputers into their curricula or existing core courses so that microcomputer applications could be an integral part of the library education program. It was recommended that a separate required introductory computer course be required for all students. That, in addition to the separate required course, microcomputer applications should be integrated into all core courses where appropriate.
A systematic plan was developed that would serve as a guide for implementing the integration of microcomputer applications into library media core courses at Armstrong State College, Savannah, Georgia.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
While Jane Jacobs' frontal assault on "modern planning" is now over forty years old, communities around the United States are still struggling to deal with the legacy of modernist interventions that dramatically altered the historic urban form and culture of their downtowns. In the worst cases, whole zones were transformed into nearly unusable space. Reintegrating these lost spaces into the urban fabric is one of the most significant challenges of urban planners and designers today. Despite the ubiquity of lost spaces in American cities, comparatively little research has been done on the specific historic urban forms that were altered. This dissertation seeks to explore the processes of landscape change through a case study of Louis Armstrong's downtown neighborhood in New Orleans. It employs an urban morphological framework to uncover the specific landscape changes that occurred in the neighborhood over time. This micro-level view is broadened through an examination of the political economic forces that helped to transform the once vibrant neighborhood into the lost space of today. This study concludes that while it is tempting to identify the twentieth century modern interventions as the cause of lost space in New Orleans, such a reading unnecessarily isolates the modern development era from the historical continuum of land use that helped define the city. When the scope of inquiry into the causes of lost space is widened to include the historic formation of landscape remnants, long-standing patterns of lost space development begin to appear that stretch back to the founding of the city. Modern development, seen in this light, exacerbated existing negative landscape features more than created them.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Kenneth Burke's pentadic analysis has been a staple within the context of rhetorical criticism since the early days of critical communication studies. Throughout the years it has evolved from a heavy text criticism to application to film and documentary. The Armstrong Lie is another documentary that highlights the controversial actions of former seven-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong. This film provides an opportunity in which the pentadic analysis can be applied in order to really dissect the message that is being told. Through application of the pentadic analysis to The Armstrong Lie it is possible to identify the true motivation of the documentary's director, Alex Gibney. The present study seeks to identify the true message being told through the narrative of the documentary. Alex Gibney's motivations come under question as to whether or not he was exonerating himself by lessening the controversy of what Lance Armstrong had done by cheating in a highly competitive sport by characterizing him more as a product of his environment.

Religion is often invoked as a driving force behind violence, disentangled from political, social, and economic reasons. In this thesis, we will be exploring the viewpoints of three prominent religious thinkers in investigating the principal causes behind what is called religious violence. The works of Karen Armstrong, Mark Juergensmeyer, and William T. Cavanaugh are considered as theoretical frameworks for understanding violence in an Islamic context. While Armstrong argues that the root cause of violence can be traced back to economic, political, and cultural reasons, Juergensmeyer contests that religion is the most important cause underlying all violence. In their analyses, both thinkers rely heavily on a distinction between religious and secular violence. Cavanaugh, on the other hand, regards such a distinction as itself a legitimation of secular forms of violence that obscures the real causes of what we call religious violence.

La représentation du général George Armstrong Custer dans le cinéma et la télévision des États-Unis de 1909 à 2004 fait ici l’objet d’une étude en trois parties. La vie et la carrière du personnage sont retracées dans une première partie ou l’on voit comment Custer est devenu de son vivant un héros national. Sont ensuite évoquées les représentations dans les médias et dans les arts qui ont transformé après sa mort le personnage en mythe. Dans une deuxième partie sont étudiées les images cinématographiques du personnage jusqu’à sa première apparition sur le petit écran, les grandes étapes de l’évolution du western hollywoodien servant ici de cadre et de repère. Dans la troisième et dernière partie, on s’intéresse aux productions cinématographiques et télévisuelles qui, de 1957 à nos jours, ont retravaillé la mythologie du Général. L’ensemble du travail s’attache à démontrer que l'image de Custer s’est beaucoup modifiée aux fil des décennies, sans jamais perdre pour autant ses dimensions mythiquesThe representation of General George Armstrong Custer in American cinema and television (1909-2004) is the object of this study. The youth and the military career of the character are dealt with in the first part, with the purpose of showing how this officer, a very famous man in his lifetime, became a true myth after his death. Then, the various images in the media and arts (on which his future representation in film was founded) are analysed. In the second part, the first images of Custer in Hollywood cinema are put under scrutiny, up to his first apparition on television. In the third and last part, the film and TV products which have perpetuated the memory of the General to this day are studied in turn. The dissertation aims at demonstrating that, in the many productions which featured him (as a major or secondary character), Custer’s image was not fixed : it never ceased to evolve, though without losing its mythic aura

Nous étudions la récurrence et la postérité dans la métaphysique analytique contemporaine d’un certain nombre d’arguments élaborés par Bertrand Russell afin de répondre à une question d’ontologie fondamentale : comment les éléments de l’être sont-ils reliés ? Comment peut-on répondre à cette question sans tomber sous le coup d’une régression bradleyenne ? Interroger le statut des régressions bradleyennes (régressions vicieuses ou régressions inoffensives ?), déterminer la nature des relations (particuliers ou universels ? ; relations internes ou relations externes ?), ou bien encore adopter une perspective plus épistémologique, celle des vérifacteurs, sont ici les voies explorées. Nous étudions plus particulièrement le réalisme immanent de D. Armstrong, la théorie des tropes de K. Campbell, le nominalisme de la ressemblance de G. Rodriguez-Pereyra et le réalisme modéré de D. W. MertzThe broad objective of this study is to examine the recurrence and the posterity of some arguments drawn up by Bertrand Russell to answer one of the main ontological question: How the elements of the being are related ? How can we answer this question without raising a bradleyan endless regress? Several strategies are assessed here: answering these questions by questioning the status of the bradleyan regresses (vicious or harmless regresses?), defining the nature of the relations (particulars or universals?, internal or external relations?) or using the epistemological perspective of the truthmakers. This study is focused on D. Armstrong’s Immanent Realism, K. Campbell’s Theory of Tropes, G. Rodriguez-Pereyra’s Resemblance Nominalism, and D. W. Mertz’s Moderate Realism

One of the limiting factors in gas turbine design is the allowable metal temperatures and loads in critical components. Specially designed superalloys are used when the conditions are most severe. One of these superalloys is Inconel 718. To be able to design components for higher temperature and higher loads, an accurate understanding and computational model of the material is needed. In this thesis the deformation mechanisms of Inconel 718 have been investigated and a theoretical basis for modelling in a large deformation context has been established. Finally a viscoplastic nonlinear kinematic hardening material model with an Armstrong-Frederick backstress evolution law has been implemented as a first step in describing the constitutive behaviour of the material Inconel 718.

The purpose of this thesis was to draw new insights on Thomas Berger’s classic American novel, Little Big Man, and his representation of fictional violence that is a substantial aspect of any text on the Indian Wars and “Custer’s Last Stand”. History’s major world wars led to shifts in the political climate and a noted change in the way that violence was represented in the arts. Historical, fictional, and cinematic treatments of “Custer’s Last Stand” and violence were each considered in relation to the text. Berger's version of the famed story is a revision of history that shows the protagonist as a dual-member of two violent societies. The thesis concluded that Berger’s updated American legends and unique “white renegade” character led to a representation of violence that spoke to the current state of affairs in 1964 when the world was becoming much more hostile and chaotic place.

Objects are characterised by their properties. If an object is a red postbox, then it has the property of being red, and the property of being a postbox. This thesis is an attack on a particular view of the metaphysics of properties, according to which some properties are privileged over others. The most well-known theories of privileged properties are Armstrong’s theory of sparse immanent universals (1979b) and Lewis’ natural properties (1983). According to their supporters, only privileged properties perform certain jobs, such as featuring in laws of nature, or grounding similarity between objects. Metaphysical posits are theoretically virtuous if they can account for a range of different phenomena in a relatively parsimonious manner. The ability of privileged properties to perform a range of worthwhile ‘work’, therefore, is what justifies a belief in them. The conclusion I reach is that a single group of properties is not capable of satisfying the key roles commonly attributed to the privileged properties. Without satisfying these roles in concert, a belief in mainstream versions of privileged properties is not justified. The first part of this thesis is devoted to an explication of privilege and the roles which privileged properties are taken to perform. I conclude that three roles in particular, Supervenience, Similarity and Magnetism are key roles for mainstream theories of privilege. In part two, I show that the properties which satisfy the Supervenience role are not the same as those which satisfy the Similarity and Magnetism roles. In the final chapter of this thesis I discuss the implications of my findings for support for theories of privilege.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
On 4 April 1882, the New South Wales government steamer Thetis arrived at Lord Howe Island bearing J. Bowie Wilson, recently appointed commissioner of an inquiry into the conduct of the Island’s resident magistrate, Captain Richard Armstrong. Following a hastily convened investigation, Wilson recommended that the government confirm Armstrong’s suspension from office. Armstrong claimed he had done nothing to deserve the dismissal and that Wilson’s inquiry made a mockery of justice. So, while the colonial press initially expressed indignation against Armstrong’s alleged wrongdoings, over time the focus of moral outrage shifted to Wilson. This thesis explores the case of Captain Armstrong, a prominent scandal in 1880s New South Wales. It traces Armstrong’s connection with Lord Howe Island from its beginning in 1878 to its end in 1887, when he finally received tangible recognition of injustice, £1500 compensation. By untangling the many threads of the Armstrong case, it is possible to paint a vivid and detailed picture of colonial governance in late nineteenth-century New South Wales. It is not merely that the case highlights the experience of a minor official in a remote outpost – a much neglected area of Australian and imperial history – but that subsequent press and parliamentary debates reveal some of the most vexing issues in colonial society. It sheds light on the contemporary temperance movement, competing ideals of masculine character and pervasive anxieties surrounding the issue of the colony’s reputation. The Armstrong case provides compelling evidence that colonial governance, whether in a remote outpost or an established colony, was a fragile enterprise, fraught with contradictions and anxieties.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the books The Case for God and 12 Steps to a Compassionate Life by the historian Karen Armstrong has been discussed and debated in swedish mass media. Very few academics in the discipline of the history of religions has had such a broad public success as Karen Armstrong, and it is therefore important to acknowledge how major themes and issues in her writings are discussed on the public arena. With the aid of reception theory developed by Hans Robert Jauss and by Stuart Hall, I present three conclusions about the mass media reception of The Case for God and 12 Steps to a Compassionate Life. First of all, I show that the reception of the two books by Armstrong is dependent on differences in expectations and experiences, and that it is possible to spot and acknowledge these differences in the actual texts that make up the reception. Second, I give evidence to how central binary constructions in the arguments put forward by Armstrong are used and developed upon in the reception. Third, I demonstrate how differences in perceptions about Karen Armstrong as a person plays a major part in the reception, and that Armstrong herself is an active part in the construction of her own media image.

Titel: När hjältar faller - En jämförande studie av Aftonbladets och Expressens skildring av idrottshjältarna Ludmila Engquist, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong och Oscar Pistorius. Författare: Marianne Andersson Publikationstyp: Uppsats Nivå: C Poäng: 15 hp Huvudområde: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap Kursnamn: MKV 61-90 hp Programnamn: Informatörsprogrammet Antal sidor: 39 Handledare: Mats Hyvönen Ämne: Hur Aftonbladet och Expressen berättar om idrottshjältar som faller karriärmässigt. Frågeställning: Hur berättar de svenska kvällstidningarna Aftonbladet och Expressen för sina läsare när/att en idrottshjälte faller karriärmässigt? Teoretiska perspektiv: Tidningsartiklarna har analyserats från Michael Foucaults teorier med utgångspunkt från hans bok ”Diskursens ordning” samt utifrån begreppen representation och identifikation i medier. Tillvägagångssätt: Utifrån en dokumentanalys har de publicerade artiklarna studerats för att ta reda på hur tidningarna valt att berätta om de olika fallen. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ analysmetod studeras om medierna använder sig av någon slags dramaturgi när de skildrar händelserna samt om det finns ett mönster med vilka som får komma till tals. Slutsats: Analysen visar att sättet som tidningarna rapporterar på om de fyra händelserna följer en bestämd dramaturgisk och kronologisk ordning. I samtliga fall kommer samma typer av människor till tals och de bilder som publicerar skildrar liknade motiv oavsett idrott eller fall.

Inledning: Ett företag som sponsrar en känd person förknippas starkt med denna. Tidigare forskning har visat att det finns en positiv påverkan på aktiepriset och avkastningen hos företag som tecknar sponsringsavtal med kända personer. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av eventstudiemetoden undersöka huruvida tio oväntade händelser relaterade till tre idrottare påverkat aktievärdet för Nike Inc. Teori: Den effektiva marknadshypotesen bygger på antagandet att finansiella marknader är effektiva och att all information finns tillgänglig vilket i sin tur exakt återspeglas i priset på en tillgång. Det finns empiriska belägg för att marknaden inte alltid kan sägas vara effektiv som effektiva marknadshypotesen hävdar, något som teoretiskt kallas för anomali. Metod: Denna studie antar ett deduktivt angreppssätt och har en kvantitativ inriktning. Eventstudiemetoden används för att mäta den tänkbara effekt som en oväntad händelse har på företagets värde. Aktieprisförändringen undersöks genom den kumulativa onormala avkastningen (CAR) och hypotesprövningar görs för att nå en slutsats på syftet och problemformulering. Slutsats: Vi har utfört undersökningen i enlighet med eventstudiemetoden och kommit fram till att 9 av 10 oväntade händelser påverkar aktievärdet för Nike Inc. Detta genom att hypotestesta de oväntade händelserna som har visat ett statistiskt samband, positivt eller negativt, mellan den oväntade händelsen och den kumulativa onormala avkastningen (CAR). Vi har även studerat respektive diagram där vi ser en förändring i CAR efter att nyheten kring de oväntade händelserna släppts men att förändringen i de flesta fall inte är så stor. Vi har också funnit att annan information som släppts av Nike under respektive händelseperioder har haft störst påverkan på CAR, särskilt finansiell information.

A study of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, particularly "The Sound of Her Wings" and "The Kindly Ones: Part 13," demonstrates its theological richness. The Sandman's ability to participate in theodicy becomes clear by framing that study within a framework provided by Ernest Becker's ideas about the terror of death and Karen Armstrong's observations of the historical utility of negative theology and compassion. The analysis of the formal characteristics of The Sandman shows the range of aesthetic possibility inherent in the comics form. Lastly, the study makes apparent the continued readerly desire for engagement with questions about God, transcendence, death, and evil.

La presente tesis de investigación tiene como objetivo determinar los principales factores de la
recompensa total que influyen en la retención de los ingenieros civiles dentro una organización
denominada Empresa del Sector Construcción (ESC).
La ESC es una de las más importantes empresas pertenecientes al sector construcción
peruano, ubicándose en el ránking de las “500 mejores empresas del Perú”, además de encontrarse
dentro de los 50 puestos del ránking Merco (2017) en retención de talento. Lo mencionado se
debe a que la empresa invierte en desarrollar los programas de talento entre los cuales destacan:
Programas de Líneas de Carrera, Evaluación de Desempeño, Capacitaciones, entre otros (Jefe de
Desarrollo Organizacional en ESC, Comunicación personal, 2 de noviembre del 2017). Estas
acciones son de vital importancia, sobre todo en referencia al perfil del empleado más importante:
el ingeniero civil, pues según la última encuesta de escasez de talento realizada por
ManpowerGroup Perú (2016) el ingeniero se encuentra dentro de los perfiles más escasos en el
Perú, ocupando el tercer lugar en el mencionado ránking. Asimismo, cabe destacar que el
ingeniero civil, el cual se encuentra dentro de este grupo, es uno de los más requeridos ya que en
su mayoría trabajan en el sector inmobiliario y construcción, el cual es uno de los más afectados
por la escasez de talento (Gestión, 2016).
Para la presente investigación se consideró como talento a todos los ingenieros civiles
que laboran dentro de la ESC debido a los altos estándares del perfil necesitado dentro de la
empresa, lo cual concuerda con en el enfoque de talento inclusivo (Zhang & Bright, 2012).
Entonces, considerando que todos los ingenieros de la empresa son talentosos y que estos son
escasos en el mercado laboral, la ESC se preocupa por retenerlos por lo cual desarrolla un
programa de recompensas. Debido a esta situación se decidió analizar la empresa en base a un
modelo de recompensa total presentado por Armstrong (2007), pues agrupa la gran mayoría de
los programas de talento, desarrollados en la ESC, en cinco factores: salario fijo, salario variable,
beneficios (beneficios corporativos, vacaciones), aprendiendo y desarrollando (línea de carrera,
desarrollo de capacidades, gestión del desempeño) y experiencia en el trabajo (reconocimiento,
herramienta y ambiente físico, balance vida trabajo).
En conclusión, al realizar un análisis del modelo inicial en su conjunto, se identificaron
dos sub-factores principales que muestran una mayor relación causal con la retención;
herramientas y ambiente físico y balance vida trabajo, por lo que el factor experiencia en el trabajo
se está considerando relevante mayoritariamente dentro de la decisión de permanencia de los
ingenieros civiles dentro de la ESC. Sin embargo, estos dos factores explican en un 6.9% la decisión de permanencia en la empresa en la muestra elegida, debido a que existen otros factores
que el modelo de recompensa total no abarca.Tesis

Le titre de cette thèse reflète les sujets qui y sont abordés ainsi que la perspective dans laquelle ceux-ci sont abordés ici, c'est à dire de façon sympathique et critique, avec un fort travail de prise de conscience de ma position identitaire. Ce travail s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une utilisation autoréflexive des théories féministes, postmodernes et postcoloniales dans laquelle ces théories sont appliquées à elles-mêmes. A partir de l'étude des productions littéraires des auteurs considérés ici et en suivant le mouvement de remise en question théorique et de lecture de cette étude, l'impact des théories modernes, postmodernes et postcoloniales dominantes dans les domaines littéraires, sociologiques, anthropologiques et politiques sera évalué. Leur inadéquation partielle aux réalités et aux objectifs des minorités sexuelles et ethniques sera alors appréhendée. Ainsi, m'inspirant des apports théoriques faits dans ces domaines par les auteurs et œuvres étudiés en particulier, par les littératures autochtones de façon générale, l'intertextualité théorique de ces écrits sera abordée de façon à mettre en lumière les emprunts et les rejets opérés par ces auteurs. Ce travail se propose également de saisir la diversité des définitions de la "canadianité" et de l "autochtonité," des relations entre oralité et littérature, féminisme et autochtonité, "double spiritualité" et autochtonité ainsi qu'entre traditions et traditions renouvelées. Il est organisé de façon à représenter un espace d'échange sur le sujet du rôle et de la place des femmes, des hommes, des "minorités," de leurs actes de parole dans les états/nations/sociétés pluriculturelles ou multiculturelles mais aussi sur le sujet des orientations philosophiques, sociales, politiques de nos sociétés démocratiques d'aujourd'hui et de demain. Ainsi, cette étude se fixe le but de mettre en valeur l'importance de la diffusion du contenu des actes de parole des auteurs et acteurs dits minoritaires ainsi que de souligner que, si les enjeux des "traductions" multiples et les dangers des manichéismes et essentialismes théoriques que ce processus de diffusion implique sont importants, ils n'en montrent que mieux le caractère impératif du processus de communication que ces traductions révèlentThis thesis’ title reflects the topics which are dealt with in it as well as the perspective with which they are looked into, that is to say in a sympathetic and critical way, with a strong awareness of my own identity. This work finds its context within the frame work of a self-reflexive use of the feminist, postmodern and postcolonial theories in which the latter are applied to themselves. From the study of the literature considered here and following the theoretical questioning movement and the reading positions taken in this study, the dominating modern, feminist, postmodern and postcolonial theories in the literary, sociological, anthropological and political fields will be evaluated. The partial inadequacies of these theories as related to the realities and the goals pursued by native women in Canada will be unveiled. Drawing inspiration from native authors and native literature in general, and in particular from the theoretical contributions made in those fields by the authors and their writings, this thesis will outline the theoretical intertextuality of these texts attempt to shed some light on what the authors borrow and reject from these theories. This thesis also attempts to understand the diversity in the definitions of nativeness and Canadianness as well as the relations between orality and literature, between feminism end nativeness, two-spiritedness and nativeness and between traditions and renewed traditions. This research is organized to stand for an exchange space on the topic of the role and characteristics of women, men, “minorities”, of their speech acts in the states/nations/pluricultural or multicultural societies as well as an exchange space on the topic of the literary, philosophical, social, political orientations of today and tomorrow’s democratic societies. This work also attempts to show the necessity for the diffusion of the contents of these so-called minority authors and actor’s speech acts. At the same time, it also means to demonstrate that though the stakes of the multiple translations’ process implied are important and that the dangers of theoretical manicheisms and essentialisms this diffusion process involves are important, these works nonetheless reveal the imperative aspects of the realization of the communication negotiations bore by the translations

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This paper concerns the semantic branch of meta-ethics, and examines a version of so called semantic pluralism advocated by Michael Gill. Briefly put, Gill suggests that ordinary people’s usage of moral terms is rather messy in the sense that the meaning of moral terms can vary not only between different people, but also for one and the same person in different contexts. Such variability in word-meaning is explained by his assumption that people’s meta-ethical commitments are part of their moral thought and language, which is to say that their meta-ethical commitments have implications for the meaning of moral terms. In this paper I pursue two objectives. The first is exegetical and aim to clarify how Gill’s semantic pluralism in general, and his Indeterminacy- and Variability theses in particular, are intended to be understood—specifically in relation to the cognitivist/non-cognitivist debate. The second objective is argumentative. I first present and evaluate an objection to Gill’s semantic pluralism from Walter Sinnott-Armstrong who argue that Gill’s Variability thesis implies that interlocutors with different meta-ethical commitments are talking past each other rather than having genuine first order moral agreements and disagreements. I then argue that a similar problem occurs also for certain second order moral disagreements, particularly those in which moral terms are used rather than mentioned. I then argue that this is problematic not only on independent grounds, but also because it is inconsistent with the very assumptions Gill makes to support his view. My argument therefore appears forceful by Gill’s own lights. Combined, Sinnott-Armstrong’s objection and my own leads me to conclude that Gill’s semantic pluralism does not look promising.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
In the late nineteenth century, the use of pastels underwent a revival and many young British artists adopted the medium as a new means of expression. This surge in popularity was marked by three exhibitions dedicated to contemporary works in pastel held at the Grosvenor Gallery in London between 1888 and 1890. These shows attracted over three hundred participants and culminated in the formation of the Society of British Pastellists in 1890, which counted amongst its eminent members William Stott of Oldham (1857-1900), James Guthrie (1859-1930), George Clausen (1852-1944) and Elizabeth Armstrong (1859-1912). Despite its auspicious beginnings this movement was short-lived and the society disbanded the following year. This has caused scholars to treat the use of pastel by British artists as just a passing fad in the oeuvres of individual artists and in studies of contemporary stylistic trends. Yet, the varying involvement of these four artists with the most pioneering art movements in Britain would suggest that this medium formed an intrinsic part of their move towards a modern aesthetic. Thus, the diverse approaches of these artists will form a prism through which to examine the importance of materiality for the development of new subject matter and stylistic innovations. This study will involve not only a consideration of the formal properties of these works but also the culture in which they were produced, exhibited and critically received. Indeed, it is hoped that by situating these pastels within a wider cultural context that a further understanding of their long-term significance in the canon of modern art in Britain can be achieved. In this way, I believe that this study will contribute towards a new position for pastel as a modern medium that was essential for the invention of new artistic practices at this time.
