What do African Citizens of Different Income Levels think of Chinese Investment? 2015-2019 A study of three countries in Africa
No full textThis study focused on determining the relationship between occupation, education and perception on Chinese investment in Kenya, Senegal and Nigeria.
It used a combination of qualitative and quantitative research to determine conclusions. The qualitative research focused on interviews and personal one on one interactions with Africans. The author used publicly available Afrobarometer data for the quantitative study.
The results of the study indicate that there is a correlation between occupation and perception on Chinese influence for all three countries. However, there was no conclusive evidence that there was correlation between education and perception of Chinese influence.

“Insights in Contemporary Franco-America in Rhea Côté-Robins and Gregoire Chabot: Reevaluating Memory, Identity and Place"
No full textInternational audienceDr. Peggy Pacini’s paper “Insights into Contemporary Franco-America in Rhéa Côté-Robbins and Gregoire Chabot: Reevaluating Memory, Identity and Place” extends the discussion of Franco-American identity-formation and the role of a specific place (Maine) in this act by examining the paratexts of two contemporary Franco-American writers from Maine, Rhea Côté-Robbins and Gregoire Chabot. Pacini explores how each author has tried to create “a newer and more appropriate” identity, neither Franco nor American, but Franco-American from Maine. While it may be true that Côté-Robbins and Chabot have, through their writing, found their unique voices and a way to tell their unique stories, their works always start from memory, collective and personal, deeply rooted in place and time either to achieve piecing together a fragmented identity for the former, or interrogating it for the latter
Sacrifice in the Eucharist in the texts of the fathers from the New Testament to the council of Chalcedon
No full textThis thesis examines the evidence for the notion of Eucharistic Sacrifice which is found in the original texts of all the principal Fathers and ecclesiastical authors of the Early Church. The period covered is from the time of the writing of the New Testament to the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D. Each of the principal Fathers is examined in historical order, as far as this is possible, except when there is another link between them such as their city of origin. Apart from a few exceptions, the texts are presented in their Greek or Latin original in the footnotes, but an English translation is supplied for every case in the main text of the thesis. The aim of the thesis is not to provide an exhaustive analysis of the above data, but to present them in an orderly way and to make initial exploratory comments on the texts themselves and of the work of various scholars. The final conclusion resulting from this exercise is that, although there is indisputable evidence that the notion of Eucharistic sacrifice was widely upheld by Patristic authors, its actual content varied from author to author and presents a richness which it is not easy to classify
The transmission of classical and patristic texts in late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman England
No full textThis thesis consists of a general introduction to the
historical and palaeographical background to the subject of
the transmission of Classical and Patristic texts in late
Anglo-Saxon and early Norman England, followed by five
chapters each dealing with a classical or patristic author.
Each chapter lists the information we have available on
manuscripts containing the author's work, and conclusions
are drawn as to the transmission of that work. In the case
of five texts, Persius, Satirae; Augustine, Enchiridion;
Gregory, Cura pastoralis and Moralia and Isidore, Synonymar
portions of each MS are taken and compared in detail with
each other and with the modern printed edition, and a stemma
is constructed on the basis of evidence thus obtained. A
conclusion draws together the information on the
transmission of such manuscripts throughout the eighth to
twelfth centuries. There are two appendices: the first
contains brief notes on texts by Classical and Patristic
authors of which there are not enough copies to form
stemmata, while the second takes the form of a short
analysis of the use of the letter k in the margins of some
insular MSS studied. There are also indices nominum et
manuscriptorum. The work is divided into two volumes after

Visual Mental Imagery and Visual Perception: Structural Equivalence Revealed by Scanning Processes
No full textThe research reported in the present article investigates whether information is represented the same way in both visual mental imagery and the early phases of visual perception. In Experiment 1, the same participants scanned over patterns of dots in a mental image (with images based on a just-seen pattern), during perception, and in an iconic image. The time to scan increasing distances increased at comparable rates in the three tasks. However, in Experiment 2, when mental images were created from information stored in long-term memory, participants scanned more slowly in the mental image condition. Nevertheless, the rates of scanning in the perceptual tasks were highly correlated with the rates of scanning in the imagery tasks in both experiments. The results provide evidence that mental images and perceived stimuli are represented similarly and can be processed in the same way.Psycholog
Une conduite révolutionnaire, ou Action et Réflexion chez Henri Grégoire de 1789 à 1831
No full textThèse de doctorat d'état, déposée par Harold (son fils) en mémoire de son père décédé en 1993.This document proposes a bearing examination on printed works of the GREGOIRE abbot, as well as on his news, and it shows also a good knowledge of the abundant literature devoted to the constitutional bishop of Blois. The plan of the thesis treats political activities, religious and philanthropic of GREGOIRE of 1775 to 1831. In political matters, the author shows the undeniable influence exerted as well by Montesquieu as by Rousseau on the priest of Emberménil, but also the will of GREGOIRE to make pass in the institutions and the facts the ideas of the philosophers; testifying thus that it belongs to the generation known as of the “second lights”. Its oratorical talent as its personal courage made it possible GREGOI RE to play a considerable part in the revolutionary assemblies, although it did not have the political scale of a SIEYES or a MIRABEAU. On the ecclesiastical level, GREGOIRE, whose solid sacerdotal vocation will cross intact the revolutionary upheaval and whose dignity of life will be recognized by all - is a convinced Galician which accepts without difficulties the civil Constitution of the clergy and which believes sincerely in the future of the constitutional Church. It is one of the pillars of this one and will adopt at the time of the serious difficulties which will attack it an attitude of most courageous. Partisan initially of a Church of State, GREGOIRE, of which the ecclesiastical thought is not free from some undulations, is a solved and irreducible adversary of the Legal settlement for nobler reasons besides than TAYLLERAND and FOUCHE. GREGOIRE, names political, man of the church, historian to the untiring feather, is finally, and I will say perhaps especially, a convinced philanthropist who will devote himself inlassablement in favour of certain individuals that it regards as excluded from the company of his time: Jews and coloured men.Le présent document propose un dépouillement portant sur les œuvres imprimées de l'abbé GREGOIRE, aussi bien que sur ses inédits, et il fait preuve également d'une bonne connaissance de la littérature abondante consacrée à l'évêque constitutionnel de Blois.Le plan de la thèse traite des activités politiques, religieuses et philanthropiques de GREGOIRE de 1775 à 1831.En matière politique, l'auteur montre l'influence indéniable exercée tant par Montesquieu que par Rousseau sur le curé d'Emberménil, mais aussi la volonté de GREGOIRE de faire passer dans les institutions et dans les faits les idées des philosophes; témoignant ainsi qu'il appartient à la génération dite des «secondes lumières».Son talent oratoire ainsi que son courage personnel ont permis à GREGOI RE de jouer un rôle non négligeable dans les assemblées révolutionnaires, encore qu'il n'ait pas eu l'envergure politique d'un SIEYES ou d'un MIRABEAU.Sur le plan ecclésiastique, GREGOIRE, dont la vocation sacerdotale solide traversera intacte la tourmente révolutionnaire et dont la dignité de vie sera reconnue par tous - est un gallican convaincu qui accepte sans difficultés la Constitution civile du clergé et qui croit sincèrement à l'avenir de l'Eglise constitutionnelle. Il est un des piliers de celle-ci et adoptera lors des graves difficultés qui l'assailliront une attitude des plus courageuses.Partisan d'abord d'une Eglise d'Etat, GREGOIRE, dont la pensée ecclésiastique n'est pas exempte de quelques flottements, est un adversaire résolu et irréductible du Concordat pour des motifs plus nobles d'ailleurs que TAYLLERAND et FOUCHE.GREGOIRE, nomme politique, homme d'Eglise, historien à la plume infatigable, est enfin, et je dirai peut-être surtout, un philanthrope convaincu qui se dévouera inlassablement en faveur de certains individus qu'il considère comme exclus de la société de son temps: les juifs et les hommes de couleur
