This thesis investigates the seven promises of the Promise Keepers movement using the rhetorical criticism method of fantasy theme analysis. In order to understand this movement, four research questions guided the study: ( 1) What common themes are embedded in the rhetoric of the Promise Keepers? (2) What is the rhetorical vision promoted by the Promise Keepers movement? (3) What makes the vision of the Promise Keepers movement so persuasive to so many Christian men in America? (4) Based on an examination of the rhetoric of the Promise Keepers movement, what can be ascertained about the motives of the movement?" In order to answer these questions, a rhetorical analysis was conducted on the primary literature of the movement. The analysis indicated that the Promise Keepers are trying to transform America into a Christian nation. The Promise Keepers believe that change can be brought about if men follow the movement's seven promises for Christian living. Through these promises, the movement emphasizes a patriarchal view of men in society. In addition, the analysis of the movement's rhetoric suggests that the Promise Keepers are not interested in political change, but moral change through the lives of individual men.

<p>This dissertation addresses the discrepancy between the Colombian national legislation for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the actual realization of rights. Colombia possesses one of the world’s most advanced IDP laws, covering all stages of displacement, and the authorities have developed a complex set of institutions responsible to enforce the law. However, the implementation of the legislation has proven highly complicated. The Colombian government has been able to achieve important improvements in providing emergency humanitarian assistance to the IDP population, but significantly less in terms of prevention, resettlement and return. This thesis argues that the challenge of internal displacement in Colombia is perceived by the IDP regime as a technical rather than a political problem, which detaches the displacement from its structural and underlying causes and complicates prevention and resettlement.</p><p>The causes of the failure of complying with the IDP law are highly complex and must be analysed in relation to political, historical and cultural structures in the Colombian society. The ownership of territory is vital in terms of power and extensive income generating activities, which imply strong interests in access to land, and complicating the prevention of displacement and protection of abandoned land. The relationship between the land owning elite and policy-makers on the one hand and the poor, rural and displaced population on the other hand is characterized by mutual distrust due to historical patterns of oppression and exploitation. The political structures are analysed in light of the current government’s discourse on the political situation, which argues that there is no longer a conflict going on in Colombia, but rather isolated terrorist acts. The government claims to have achieved a complete demobilization of the right-wing paramilitary groups, in spite of continued denouncements from displaced persons demonstrating the existence of these groups. In light of James Ferguson’s thesis of how a development intervention is depoliticized by focusing on technical solutions, is it here argued that the underlying political causes of internal displacement in Colombia are largely overlooked because of the focus on concrete and measurable solutions.</p><p>Liisa Malkki’s theoretical concepts of depoliticizing and dehistoricizing are applied to show how the emphasis on humanitarian assistance portrays the displaced population as a ‘universalized mass of victims’ unable to voice their claims. This further contributes to illustrate how displacement becomes detached from its political and historical context, and hence renders it impossible to grasp the underlying causes of displacement. Anthony Giddens’ theory of structuration contributes to explain how these structures limit the possibilities for manoeuvrability, but simultaneously how the same structures may enable a level of power and choice. The actors are furthermore perceived to be capable of influencing the structures, as it is the actors themselves how have defined these structures. Through legal mechanisms ensured by the 1991constitutional reform and increased organization within the displaced population, the IDPs have improved their possibility to voice their claims and create spaces for communicating with the authorities. This thesis argues that small improvements are made because of an increased space for agency among the displaced population, but that the implementation of crucial sections of the IDP law are still highly complicated because of the emphasis on technical measures which removes the focus away from the underlying political causes of displacement.</p>

Zvolil jsem si téma etiky ve filmu Slib (1996) tvůrců Jeana-Pierra Dardennea a Luca Dardennea jakožto příkladovou studii užití filozofie, v tomto případě filozofie francouzského filozofa Emmanuela Levinase (1906–1995), a jak jeho filozofie ovlivňuje všechny aspekty vyprávění. Ačkoliv se nejedná o jedinou možnou interpretaci jejich díla, myšlenky Levinase jsou nejvíce relevantní jak pro příběh, tak i pro vyšší intelektuální cíle filmu. Zde je jeho pojem etiky jádrem postav a vyprávění až do bodu, kde se film sám o sobě stává testem pro přijatelnost Levinasovy filozofie, jako myšlenkového experimentu ve filmové podobě. Přijatelnost Levinasovy filozofie zůstává na konci filmu neprokázána. I přes filozofické a vyprávěcí nedostatky je Slib dobrým příkladem užití filozofie ve filmu, v jehož lepších částech se ukazuje síla tohoto přístupu, nicméně v horších částech můžeme vidět nebezpečí, které z tohoto přístupu vychází. V následujících filmech je zřejmé, že se bratři Dardenneové poučili ze svých chyb.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Many recent social movements have been characterised by their commitment to direct democratic decision-making procedures and leaderless, non-hierarchic organizational structures. This political tendency also implies the search for autonomy from existing political institutions and practises. Movements seek instead to embody in the political action itself the social relations, ways of collective decision-making and values that are ultimately desired for the whole society. This prefigurative approach to social change is often criticized for being naiive or marginal. This thesis argues first that this is not the case, but that prefigurative politics is misunderstood due to its differing view on questions of strategy, organisation and ultimately the possibility of fundamental societal change. The dissertation first outlines the often implicit strategy or vision of change underpinning prefigurative politics. It then identifies as the key challenge for prefigurative movements their ability to avoid reproducing oppressive forms of power, ‘power-over.’ This understudied aspect is investigated through extensive ethnographic field research with the unemployed workers movement, MTD Lanús in Buenos Aires, and the Zapatista movement in Mexico. The thesis concludes that it seems impossible to completely avoid reproducing old forms of power. Often key individuals in the movements end up in a paradoxical position whereby, in an effort to ensure the group’s prefigurative nature, these individuals enjoy non-prefigurative influence. The findings imply that the state and corresponding political forms and practise are not the only source of hierarchic pressures. As such, it would be more useful to view prefigurative political action as desirable, yet impossible.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The prevalence of corporate social responsibility has been continually increasing over recent years. The debate of whether a business should act in a manner that furthers societal needs or if they should simply focus their efforts on maximizing shareholder value is of popular interest since it affects the fundamental structures of how a business will operate. One of the major influencing theories in favor of social responsibility is the stakeholder theory. The opposing viewpoint is the shareholder theory, which highlights that the sole responsibility for a corporation is to act in a way that maximizes profits. This thesis will outline the stakeholder and shareholder theories to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the debate and then offer a critical and philosophical analysis of shareholder theory to ultimately argue why the moral significance of a promise better promotes maximizing shareholder value.

Notre thèse se propose de montrer que la déconstruction peut être pensée comme le résultat de la jonction de l’intentionnalité husserlienne et de la compulsion de répétition freudienne.

By going back to Derrida’s first readings of some of Husserl’s texts, but mostly back to Voice and Phenomenon (La voix et le phénomène, 1967), probably written concurrently with ‟Freud and the Scene of Writing” (‟Freud et la scène de l’écriture‟, lecture from 1966), I try to examine how Derrida brings the Husserlian and the Freudian temporalities together : the Living Present is not essentially different from the ‟après-coup” or deferred action (Nachträglichkeit), nor is the repetition of ideality essentially different from a blind mechanical repetition compulsion.Such uncanny coupling is, in my view, what gave birth to the Derridean philosophy as a whole, even if that philosophy did continue to get richer and more complex thanks to the ‟ex-appropriation” from many other authors, whether philosophers, poets, writers and so on

The historical survey of social movements in the United States reveals that the movement is a rhetorical ground occupied by groups who have been marginalized by society. Today, however, the distinctions between those who are marginalized and those who are part of the establishment have become difficult to distinguish. This study considers the emergence of Promise Keepers, an all-male social movement, and the rhetorical themes that emerge from the group. This study identifies five rhetorical themes in Promise Keepers. These themes include asserting authority of men in the home and church, the creation of a new male identity, sports and war rhetoric, political rhetoric, and racial reconciliation. The implications of these themes are considered from a critical perspective and areas for future research are provided.

Khopuangklang, Korrasut. "A critical analysis of promise in Scots law and Thai law." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/22831.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis critically analyses the law of promise. It does so for the purposes of identifying potential solutions to practical and doctrinal problems in the Thai law of promise. Scots law is chosen as the main point of comparison because, inter alia, both jurisdictions are mixed jurisdictions. Scots promissory law was influenced by the Canon Law and was part of the ius commune tradition. Scots law was not influenced by English law in this area. Scots law has developed its own promissory obligation as a free standing legal entity outwith contract. Thai promissory legal principles were derived from both Civilian and English sources. Consequently, promissory language is used both in the sense of a unilateral obligation and a contractual promise. Moreover, the Thai drafters did not acknowledge the different attitude towards a unilateral promise of French law (where a promise must be accepted in order to be binding) and German law (where particular types of unilateral obligations are recognised). This thesis argues that the flaws in promissory provisions under the Thai Code stem from the fact that, inter alia, the drafters did not understand the difference between unilateral and bilateral obligations. This thesis argues that the Scots promissory approach presents a more efficient structure of the law of obligations than the Thai approach. It encounters fewer problems than Thai law because a promise is deemed to be a standalone obligation. This thesis further analyses the practical applications of promise, arguing that a promissory analysis is useful in conceptualising practical circumstances. Adopting a promissory approach is beneficial, making doctrinal analysis clearer in comparison with the offer and acceptance approach. This thesis takes into account the role given to promise in the DCFR. The notion of a unilateral undertaking in the DCFR illustrates that the most recent model rule of European private law recognises the importance of a unilateral obligation. This reflects the fact that the notion of a contract cannot appropriately deal with certain situations in which a person unilaterally intends his/her undertaking to be bound without acceptance. It is concluded that the Scots approach of regarding a promise as an independent obligation separate from contract could be adapted to Thai law. There are certain resemblances between Scots and Thai law in promissory theories and the obligational nature of a promise. Therefore, Thai law is not unfamiliar with the notion that a declaration of wills can unilaterally create an obligation. The proposed approach provides a number of advantages e.g. eradicating an overlap between a promise and an offer; clarifying the legal status of promise; and making the legal status of a promise to make a contract compatible with a promise of reward. In particular, this thesis postulates that promise has a substantive role to play in governing an offer specifying a period of acceptance. This particular observation has, to date, not been made in relation to Thai law.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>Wireless interfaces are becoming ubiquitous in terrestrial applications ranging from local area networking in business and commercial environments to large scale factory automation and process control. The pressure to develop these wireless interfacing techniques has come from the need to reduce cabling, reduce installation costs, and make it easier to extend network infrastructures. Concerns about electromagnetic compatibility, safety, reliability, and security have lead to the development of techniques and protocols that enable such wireless interfaces to be operated in electromagnetically harsh environments, without generating unacceptable interference, and providing reliable, dependable and secure data communications. On the face of it, the use of wireless interfaces onboard spacecraft looks like a good way of reducing the spacecraft harness mass and bulk. However, recent work by the European Space Agency has shown that, while harness reduction will undoubtedly be one benefit of using wireless interfaces, they offer many other benefits that will be more significant in the near future. Amongst these are significant advantages during integration and testing, the ability to retrofit and upgrade facilities, and cable replacement in moving structures such as robotic arms. In this paper we briefly survey the benefits of wireless interface technologies for spacecraft onboard use, and identify the challenges involved in adapting them for flight use. We then look at the considerations that should be taken into account in establishing the financial case for developing wireless interface technologies for flight applications.

NOTA: NOT A GOOD ACT FOR TISSUES TO FOLLOW
The National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 (NOTA) articulates the U.S. federal policy for organ transplantation. It seeks to ensure equitable allocation of donor organs and strives to increase the number of organs available for transplant. A trio of ethical concerns—commodification, exploitation, and coercion—motivated passage of NOTA broadly and the prohibition on organ sales in particular. Notably, NOTA does not distinguish between organs and tissues, a devastating oversight given the differences between the two, which include: who can donate; when donation can occur; how donated items are procured, processed, and stored; who receives the donated item and why; and government oversight. Tissues are not like organs in the ways that made NOTA an appropriate legislative solution to commodification, exploitation, and coercion. Rather, NOTA failed to address tissue-specific concerns both ethical and practical in nature. Thus, there is an acute need to develop tissue-specific legislation that enhances informed consent to protect donor autonomy; sets a schedule of payments for donors and intermediaries to promote distributive justice; and improves tracking of donated tissues to address patient safety concerns.
REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY, CONCEPTUAL CONFUSION, AND A PATH FORWARD ON OFFERS OF PAYMENT TO RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS
The practice of offering payment to individuals in exchange for their participation in clinical research is widespread and longstanding. Nevertheless, such payment remains the source of substantial debate, in particular about whether or the extent to which offers of payment coerce and/or unduly induce individuals to participate. Yet, the various laws, regulations, and ethical guidelines that govern the conduct of human subjects research offer relatively little in the way of specific guidance regarding what makes a payment offer ethically acceptable. This paper systematically examines the legal and ethical dimensions of offering payment to research participants. It argues that concerns about offers of payment to research participants can be attributed to the misguided view that such offers ought to be treated differently than offers of payment in other contexts, a form of “research exceptionalism.” We show that rejection of research exceptionalism with respect to payment helps settle open debates about both how best to define coercion and undue influence, and how to understand the relation between these concepts and offers of payment. We argue for adoption of our preferred definitions, ideally by regulatory authorities, and against the conventional conservatism toward payment of research participants. Instead, we draw attention to the rarely asked, even radical, question: are research participants paid enough? We conclude by arguing that we ought to change the default to favor, rather than encourage suspicion of, offers of payment to research participants.
EBOLA & FDA: REVIEWING THE RESPONSE TO FIND LESSONS FOR THE FUTURE
In 2014, West Africa confronted the most severe outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in history. At the onset of the outbreak—as now—there were no therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prevention of, post-exposure prophylaxis against, or treatment of EVD. As a result, the outbreak spurred interest in developing novel treatments and vaccines; sparked calls to use experimental interventions in the field; and highlighted challenges to the standard approach to FDA approval of new drugs. Although the outbreak was geographically centered in West Africa, it brought to the fore issues of food and drug law and showcased FDA’s global role in drug development, approval, and access. FDA’s response to EVD highlights the panoply of Agency powers and demonstrates the flexibility of FDA’s regulatory framework. This paper evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of FDA’s response and makes policy recommendations regarding how FDA should respond to new and re-emerging public health threats going forward. The current pandemic of Zika virus infection is but one example of an emerging health threat that will require FDA involvement in order to achieve a successful response.<br>Health Policy

Nowadays, many companies attempt to adapt their production planning and strategy to make order fulfillment more flexible. In manufacturing, the capacity and capability constraints are key factors which need efficient production planning for controlling service level and minimizing inventory cost. This thesis focuses on looking for the economic and efficient strategies for Capability to Promise or CTP handling. This strategy is proposed to work for Low Volume/High Mixed product manufacturing. Moreover, SAP is used as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for steering the CTP handling strategies in order to increase automated order handling regarding cost efficiency. The results of this research are both concepts and implementations on how to set CTP handling by using SAP, regarding the demand uncertainty environment in Make to Order (MTO) fulfillment.

nÃo hÃ<br>This paper brings a reflection on the nature and democratic character of the Collaborative Budgeting experience in the city of Fortaleza between the years 2005 and 2014. A public policy of collaborative administration, characterized by the perspective of articulation between democracies of the participative and representative sorts. A systematic accompaniment of this policy through an investigative effort â initiated in the first decade of the year 2000, in the social science scope â unveils defining features of liberal democracy to limit the collaborative potential of this experience, which raises a central question about the actual manifestation of collaborative democracy at the context in study. The Collaborative Budgeting in Fortaleza began in 2005, during the first term of Luizianne Lins, a mayor affiliated to the PT party. Its continuity until the first half of 2014, during the second year of the following mayor, Roberto ClÃudio, which is affiliated to the PROS party, continues enigmatic. This work investigates the effective participation of the specific public â related to local public policies â, the percentage of the municipal budget that is in fact discussed and deliberated by the population, and the continuity of this experience with the shift of municipal administration, among other phenomena. For such task, this paper rescues conceptions and democratic theories of contemporaneous analysts, such as Santos (2001, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2013) Coutinho (1979, 1988, 1989, 1994 and 2008) and Wood (1998, 2007, 2011 and 2014). The public policy in question is assessed through an experimental methodological approach that articulates several methodological principles found in the works of Silva e Silva (2008), Guba & Lincoln (2011), Lejano (2012) and Rodrigues (2008, 2011). The field research is completed by interviews with participants and politics coordinators. There are also studies with statistical and documental outlines on Fortalezaâs Collaborative Budgeting involved in the research.<br>Em OrÃamento Participativo de Fortaleza: uma promessa a ser cumprida, à feita uma reflexÃo a incidir sobre a natureza e o carÃter democrÃtico dessa experiÃncia na cidade de Fortaleza entre os anos de 2005 e 2014.

O acompanhamento sistemÃtico desta polÃtica mediante um esforÃo investigativo â iniciado na primeira dÃcada dos anos 2000, no Ãmbito da graduaÃÃo em ciÃncias sociais â revela traÃos marcantes da democracia liberal, a limitar o potencial participativo da experiÃncia, levando a um questionamento central sobre a efetividade da democracia participativa no contexto em estudo. O OrÃamento Participativo de Fortaleza surge em 2005, no primeiro mandato petista de Luizianne Lins na cidade.

In this thesis, I first present Fred Dretske's theory of mental represent- ations, which purports to show how a physical thing could have (non-derived) meaning. In order to illustrate the applicability of the theory to an actual physical system, I discuss the theory in relation to two theories of audio localization (i.e., the capacity to locate the source of sounds in one's environment). Having clarified the theory, I examine two charges laid against it. Lynne Rudder Baker charges the theory with circularity. Her charge is refuted by appealing to the concept of a "standby function." Stephen Stich charges the theory with vagueness. His charge is refuted by appealing to a general analysis of functions. I conclude that a careful use and analysis of the previously unanalyzed term "function" makes possible the refutation of these two charges.<br>Master of Arts

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Célèbre pour une conclusion de contrat, la promesse du porte-fort de ratification trouve grâce à une interprétation doctrinale et une évolution jurisprudentielle sa jumelle : La promesse du porte-fort d'exécution. Selon le concept du porte-fort de ratification le promettant présente donc le cas d'une personne qui conclut le contrat au nom et pour le compte d'un tiers, sans avoir aucun pouvoir tout en se portant fort d'obtenir à posteriori l'habilitation qui lui fait défaut, sous forme de ratification. Mais aujourd’hui, la définition de la promesse de porte-fort d’exécution provient principalement d'une inspiration doctrinale suite à la lecture approfondie de l'article 1120 du Code civil Français qui énonce : « On peut se porter fort pour un tiers, en promettant le fait de celui-ci ; sauf l'indemnité contre celui qui s'est porté fort ou qui a promis de faire ratifier, si le tiers refuse de tenir l'engagement ». Sur les termes de cet article une partie considérable de la doctrine considère que l'exécution d'un contrat étant « un fait », la promesse du porte-fort d'exécution doit voir la lumière et que dans cette promesse le porte-fort peut promettre que le tiers exécutera des obligations. Cela nous permet de relever que le porte-fort peur promettre "le fait d'un tiers" mais que ce fait n'est pas nécessairement une ratification, ce fait peut être aussi l'exécution d'un engagement valablement pris par le tiers. Le "fait du tiers" peut ainsi être un fait matériel pour lequel on se porte fort , ou un engagement juridique qui devra être passé par le tiers, ou une ratification de l'acte réalisé par le porte-fort pour le compte du tiers, ou l'exécution d'une obligation qui incombe au tiers<br>The “porte-fort” is an obligation for the purpose of satisfying the creditor independently of any obligation of behavior in respect of the original debtor. It is an obligation of satisfaction outcome because if someone promises the execution of a debtor, he will be engaged definitively that the creditor receives the expected level of satisfaction.The difference between the promise of the porte-fort of the execution and the promise of the porte-fort of ratification was accomplished especially that in the important judgment of 13 December 2005 which has distinguished the promise of the porte-fort of the execution from the promise of the porte-fort of ratification which the Commercial Chamber has lent to the porte-fort of execution. The definition of the caution in stating that "the person who is a porte-fort to a third party by promising the ratification by the latter of a commitment is required of an autonomous obligation who is unloaded as soon as the ratification by the third party is accomplished while the person who is porte-fort of the execution of a commitment by a third party is committed in default to the main commitment subscribed to by the third party to meet the requirements if the third party does not executed himself." However, the promise of the porte-fort of execution deserves thorough study in his own legal nature to be able to release its legal regime, and this will be done by studying all the problems that relate to this concept, all doctrinal currents which are opposed to the qualifications data to this promise , all judgments rendered and whose subject was the subject of a promise of porte-fort of execution with all the doctrinal criticism corresponding even all the articles relating from near and far to the notion of promise of porte-fort of execution and this will be talked in a long research

Recent developments in governmental guarantees for legal aid for asylum claimants have corresponded to increased state security measures that restrict refugee claims. This thesis examines the intersection between legal aid, refugee claimants, and securitized and criminalized asylum policies in western states, with a particular focus on the Canadian context. As legal aid becomes a standardized policy response to refugee claimants, its functions are not only of significance to individual nation states, but also to the processes of global migration, and in particular, to international systems of refugee asylum. My argument is that the operation of legal aid for refugee claimants exists on several levels, a duality of purposes that are complexly related and contradictory. On one level, refugee legal aid operates to ensure procedural protection and increase positive outcomes for refugee claimants. On another level, legal aid functions to support developments that seek to control accepted refugee claims. As manifest in migration laws and policies of refugee-receiving nations, these developments are part of the "securitization" and "criminalization" of migration. I argue that legal aid supports the securitization of refugee asylum through its power as a source of legitimacy. As a powerful assertion of state commitments to liberal values and refugee protection, a system of refugee legal aid acts as a legitimacy counterbalance to policies that neglect these commitments in favour of state and societal security. To illustrate my argument that legal aid functions as a support to securitized asylum polices, my primary focus is on legal aid's relationship to the specific asylum polices of Canada, but I also discuss the operation of legal aid in the international sphere, and its use in media reports. As part of the duality of legal aid's operation, I also detail the concrete effects legal aid has on refugee determination tribunal proceedings, in terms of a strong correlation between positive outcomes and legal representation.<br>Law, Peter A.

Internal branding has recently been introduced to the literature as an enabler of the organisation's success in ensuring the delivery of the brand promise by their employees, particularly the customer-interface employees. Relatively few studies have been carried out to understand the internal branding concept from the viewpoint of employees, despite its importance. Moreover, there is only an assumption that when employees are identified with, committed and loyal to the brand, they would behave in ways that support the brand reality. Therefore, this research's aim was to explore the employees' perceptions regarding their role in the promise delivery process because they are as important as those of management and researchers. Furthermore, this study provided empirical evidence to support the link between internal branding and employees' brand attitudes and brand behaviours. Following a case study strategy using the hotel industry in Thailand as a single unit of study with mixed methodologies, the author could perform data triangulation by incorporating the literature review with the findings from the qualitative and the quantitative phase. This thesis revealed the important role of employees and their perceptions of the relevant internal branding mechanisms, including internal communications and training. Importantly, this thesis empirically supported the contention that internal branding affects employees' brand identification, commitment, and loyalty. It also provided empirical evidence supporting the previously assumed link between internal branding and employees' brand behaviour. Furthermore, it added to the existing knowledge that these attitudes, particularly brand identification and loyalty, need to be positively influenced because of their mediating roles. Finally, it revealed the moderating factors in the internal branding process that were identified by the internal audience. As such, this thesis sends an overriding message to management that the coordination between marketing and human resource departments with support and understanding from management is necessary to optimise the success of any internal branding campaigns in aligning employees with the brand.
