Children's nomination of friendly places in an urban neighbourhood in Shiraz, Iran
No full textThis study investigates how children conceive of and value the outdoor environment as a child-friendly one with particular reference to an urban neighbourhood in Shiraz, Iran. It utilizes Chatterjee's (2005. "Children's Friendship with Place: A Conceptual Inquiry." Children, Youth and Environments 15 (1): 1-26) place friendship construct to find out friendly places and their attributes from children's points of view. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 106 middle childhood children. Findings suggest that a child-friendly neighbourhood is made up of diverse places that children use to meet their different needs. However, formal and informal open spaces, private precincts, and streets in the neighbourhood afforded highest contributions to place friendship

Writing from the shadowlands: how cross-cultural literature negotiates the legacy of Edward Said
No full textThis thesis examines the impact of Edward Said's influential work Orientalism and its legacy in respect of contemporary reading and writing across cultures. It also questions the legitimacy of Said's retrospective stereotyping of early examples of cross-cultural representation in literature as uncompromisingly 'orientalist'.
It is well known that the release of Edward Said's Orientalism in 1978 was responsible for the rise of a range of cultural and critical theories from multiculturalism to postcolonialism. It was a study that not only polarized critics and forced scholars to re-examine orientalist archives, but persuaded creative writers to re-think their ethnographic positions when it came to the literary representations of cultures other than their own. Without detracting from the enormous impact of Said, this thesis isolates gaps and silences in Said that need correcting. Furthermore, there is an element of intransigence, an uncompromising refusal to fine-tune what is essentially a binary discourse of the West and its other in Said's work, that encourages the continued interrogation of power relations but which, because of its very boldness, paradoxically disallows the extent to which the conflict of cultures indeed produced new, hybrid social and cultural formations.
In an attempt to challenge the severity of Said's claim that 'every European, in what he could say about the Orient, was consequently a racist, an imperialist, and almost totally ethnocentric', the thesis examines a number of different discursive contexts in which such a presumption is challenged. Thus while the second chapter discusses the 'traditional' profession-based orientalism of nineteenth-century E. G. Browne, the third considers the anti-imperialism of colonial administrator Leonard Woolf. The fourth chapter provides a reflection on the difficulties of diasporic 'orientalism' through the works of Michael Ondaatje while chapter five demonstrates the effects of the dialogism used by Amitav Ghosh as a defence against 'orientalism'. The thesis concludes with an examination of contemporary writing by Andrea Levy that appositely illustrates the legacy of Said's influence.
While the restrictive parameters of Said's work make it difficult to mount a thorough-going critique of Said, this thesis shows that, indeed, it is within the restraints of these parameters and in the very discourse that Said employs that he traps himself. This study claims that even Said is susceptible to 'orientalist' criticism in that he is as much an 'orientalist' as those at whom he directs his polemic

What said the economic theory about Portugal. Another approach
No full textWith this work we try to analyse the agglomeration process in the Portuguese regions, using the New Economic Geography models. This work aims to test, also, the Verdoorn Law, with the alternative specifications of (1)Kaldor (1966), for the 28 NUTS III Portuguese in the period 1995 to 1999. It is intended to test the alternative interpretation of (2)Rowthorn (1975). With this study we want, also, to test the Verdoorn´s Law at a regional and a sectoral levels (NUTs II) for the period 1995-1999. The importance of some additional variables in the original specification of Verdoorn´s Law is yet tested, such as, trade flows, capital accumulation and labour concentration. This study analyses, also, through cross-section estimation methods, the influence of spatial effects in productivity in the NUTs III economic sectors of mainland Portugal from 1995 to 1999, considering the Verdoorn relationship. The aim of this paper is, yet, to present a contribution, with panel data, to the analysis of absolute convergence and conditional of the sectoral productivity at regional level (from 1995 to 1999). The structural variables used in the analysis of conditional convergence is the ratio of capital/output, the flow of goods/output and location ratio.new economic geography; Verdoorn law; convergence; cross-section and panel data; Portuguese regions
Print from height Inspiration science fiction literary work of Julese Gabriel Verne
No full textMoje bakalářská práce se zaobírá ruční grafikou konkétně černobílým tiskem z výšky ve formě linorytu. Tisky vyobrazují motivy inspirované vědeckofantastickými romány slavného francouzského spisovatele Juliuse Gabriela Verna.Na grafikách jsem vytvořil industriální městské krajiny, stroje a jiné technické objekty objevující se v autorových knihách. Primární pro mne byla práce s prostorem, dynamickou perspektivou a různou intenzitou světla. Těmito prvky se snažím upoutat diváka a vtáhnout ho do atmosféry Verneových románů.Rosah mé práce je deset grafických listů ve velikosti 51x35 cm na formátu A2. Tisky jsou adjustovány do skládaných papírových desek potištěných titulem a autorem. Součástí mé práce je také doprovodný volný list se seznamem titulů, kteými jsem se inspiroval k tvorbě linorytů.Fakulta umění a designuObhájenoMy bachelor's thesis is dedicated to handheld graphics, especially to the black and white print from a height as linocut. The prints portay motifs inspired by science fiction novels of famous French writer Julius Gabriel Verne.

My work includes ten prints in sizes 51x35 cm on A2. The prints are adjusted to folded boards with printed title and author.

Author's book on chosen topic
No full textTématem mé bakalářské práce je autorská kniha, ilustrovaná sbírka Jeseninových básní. Proč je Jesenin tak důležitý pro literaturu a historii? První věc, která mě motivovala, byla rozmanitost témat v jeho dílech. Psal o přírodě, dětství, rodině, o svých pocitech, hospodách a pití, o revoluci a o své roli ve světě. Druhým důvodem je jeho skandálnost a drsnost. Stále přetrvává názor, že poezie je něco, co se týká pouze vysokých cest, že je nudná a abstraktní. Kéž by tento stereotyp patřil minulosti.ObhájenoThe aim of my bachelors work is to create and illustrate an author&s book. I chose poetry collection by Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin. As a result of my research, I determined that abstract illustrations in black and white will emphasize lyrical elegance, poetic lightness, or in a rather rigid form convey the extreme horror of the works written by the poet in the days of complete confusion of the soul and despair
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s methodology for da’wah: an overview of certain principles = منهجية بديع الزمان سعيد نورسي للدعوة: نظرة عامة على بعض المبادئ
No full textThis study presents approaches to daᶜwah as adopted and taught by Said Nursi to advance his restoration efforts. It also sheds light on the importance of their application in the present era. The paper reviews two distinct issues: [1] approaches Said Nursi used to confront and resolve social complexities, and [2] daᶜwah praxis in the modern age. The author also discusses complexities and challenges as presented by modern life styles. Special daᶜwah features are described including educational and political efforts as well as the nurturing of Islamic virtue with Nursi’s emphasis on those specific characteristics that inspire Muslim scholars to excel in daᶜwah activities. Nonetheless, it is impossible to thoroughly deliberate Nursi’s approaches and strategies in such a limited space.
