Les états de haut spin des noyaux ¹⁸⁵,¹⁸⁷,¹⁸⁸Hg produits dans les réactions ¹⁶¹,¹⁶³,¹⁶⁴Dy (²⁸Si (135-151 MeV, xn) ont été étudiés à l’aide d’un multidétecteur 4π « Château de Cristal » en ligne sur le tandem du C. R. N. Strasbourg. Des mesures de distribution angulaire, de polarisation linéaire des transitions et de coïncidences ont été effectuées. Les schémas de niveaux ainsi établis ont permis de mettre en évidence la coexistence de ¹⁸⁵Hg et ¹⁸⁷Hg de deux formes d’équilibre « oblate » et « prolate » toutes deux stabilisées par le nucléon impair dans la couche sphérique νil3/2 ainsi que les bandes construits sur les états 1/2⁻[521] (fondamental) et 7/2⁻[514] de ¹⁸⁵Hg préalablement observés en radioactivité. Dans ¹⁸⁸Hg, outre le développement à plus haut spin des deux bandes de parité positive précédemment rapportées, quatre nouvelles bandes de parité négative ont été identifiées. L’interprétation de ces résultats a été réalisée à l’aide du modèle de « cranking » décrivant les mouvements de quasi-particules indépendantes dans le champ moyen du noyau déformé en rotation. Les propriétés des structures peu déformées dans ces isotopes sont bien reproduites en considérant l’excitation de neutrons il3/2 tandis qu’il est plus difficile de conclure sur l’origine des particules impliquées dans les structures plus déformées qui coexistent dans ces mêmes noyauxHigh-spin states in ¹⁸⁵⁻¹⁸⁷⁻¹⁸⁸Hg have been investigated via the ¹⁶¹-¹⁶⁴Dy (²⁸Si, xn) reactions by in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic techniques using the “Chateau de Cristal” 4π-multidetector array. Level schemes have been established. Spins and parities of the states have been deduced from transitions multipolarities obtained from measurements of the angular distribution and linear polarization of the γ-rays. The shape coexistence of both prolate and oblate band structures built on states originating from νil3/2 subshell, has been observed for the first time in ¹⁸⁵⁻¹⁸⁷Hg as well as the rotational bands built on the 1/2⁻[521] and 7/2⁻[514] states in ¹⁸⁵Hg. In ¹⁸⁸Hg negative-parity bands are well developed. The various band structures are interpreted within the framework of the cranked shell model. The oblate structures are well reproduced by considering νil3/2 excitations while it is more difficult to conclude about the nature of the particle involved in the prolate ones

Hall, Suzanne. "A mile of mixed blessings : an ethnography of boundaries and belonging on a South London street." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2010. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/186/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an ethnography of how individuals experience urban change and difference on a south London street. My research focuses on the contemporary increase in cultural and ethnic diversity in London, and I explore what this means for social life and shared space on the Walworth Road. The purpose is to observe and interpret the forms of contact and distance people develop in living with difference in their everyday lives. I use a mixture of official, archival and ethnographic data to contrast how individuals transgress or re-inscribe social and spatial boundaries, and how systems of power authorise boundaries between people and places. I also combine ethnographic and visual methods to analyse and illustrate the layers of place, time and experience that are invoked by narratives of change on the Walworth Road. Although my thesis connects the global and local impacts of change, I select the small independent shops along the Walworth Road as the base of my exploration. Within a selection of shop interiors, I explore forms of social contact that are locally constituted through regular, face-to-face interaction, and through shared spaces and practices that engage people across diverse spectrums. I analyse the relationships between proprietors and customers: between workspaces and work skills and social spaces and social skills. Through this empirical process, I emphasise the social and political significance of ordinary spaces and informal memberships that emerge out of everyday contact in neither overtly public, nor overtly private space. This thesis has been edited into a book form to be released by Routledge in May 2012, the title of which is ‘City, Street and Citizen: The measure of the ordinary’.

Proctor, Hannah. "Revolutionary thinking : a theoretical history of Alexander Luria's 'Romantic science'." Thesis, Birkbeck (University of London), 2016. http://bbktheses.da.ulcc.ac.uk/186/.
Full textAbstract:
The Soviet psychologist and neurologist Alexander Luria (1902-1977) asserted that human consciousness is formed by and participates in forming history. His explicitly Marxist approach to psychology and neurology itself emerged from a particular time and place. This thesis seeks to restore Luria’s work to its history, situating his research in its Soviet context - from the October Revolution in 1917 through the collectivisation of agriculture and Stalinist Terror to the Second World War. This PhD follows the course of Luria’s career through Soviet history, and is also structured around the developmental trajectories that informed his research. Luria’s work was consistently concerned with tracing the emergence of the ‘culturally developed’ human being, defined as an educated person capable of exerting an influence on their environment. He argued that this figure was the result of various developmental trajectories: the biological evolution of the species from animal to human, the cultural development of societies from ‘primitivism’ to ‘civilization’, and the maturation of the individual from baby to adult. Chapter 1 discusses Luria’s early engagement with psychoanalysis and his rejection of the Freudian death drive. Chapter 2 considers experiments Luria conducted in Soviet Central Asia during the period of the First Five Year Plan (1928-1932), exploring his engagement with Stalinism through an analysis of his attempt to trace a transition from ‘primitive’ to ‘civilized’ thought. Chapter 3 focuses on the contradictory figure of the revolutionary child, who occupied a symbolic position in Soviet culture between change and continuity. Finally, Chapter 4 turns to consider Luria’s work with people who survived brain injuries inflicted during the Second World War. It concludes by arguing that the war violently interrupted the progressive developmental trajectories Luria’s work had hitherto been structured around (which broadly agreed with orthodox Marxist-Leninist accounts of historical progress). It is at that moment, I contend, that he finally developed the ‘real, not sham’ Marxist psychology he had always sought to create.

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação examina as defesas do tráfico negreiro e da escravidão negra no Império do Brasil entre 1826 e 1865, isto é, desde o início regular do regime representativo no país até o desenlace da Guerra Civil nos Estados Unidos. O corpus documental compreende discursos políticos emitidos na forma de falas parlamentares, pareceres do Conselho de Estado, artigos de jornal, panfletos, memórias, livros e representações municipais e provinciais. Os textos foram interpretados por meio não apenas da análise do discurso, mas também da história social e política, de forma que se verificou seu impacto sobre a intensidade do contrabando negreiro, as articulações partidárias e as relações sociais. O primeiro capítulo aborda os efeitos do convênio antitráfico anglo-brasileiro sobre as relações entre Executivo e Legislativo, bem como as expectativas correntes sobre o fim definitivo do comércio. O segundo estuda sua reabertura sob a forma de contrabando, fundada no apoio sólido de determinados grupos sociais a políticos que o vindicavam (sobretudo, o grupo do Regresso e saquaremas). O seguinte narra as respostas pró-cativeiro dos estadistas imperiais à diplomacia mais agressiva da Grã-Bretanha na década de 1840, enquanto o último afere como os líderes parlamentares, mesmo depois da supressão do contrabando (1850), defenderam a sobrevida da escravidão no Brasil por tempo indeterminado como meio de desenvolvimento nacional.This work studies the defense of slavery and slave trade in Imperial Brazil from 1826 to 1865, since the regular workings of Parliament until the outcome of the Civil War in the United States. It focuses on political discourses such as parliamentary speeches, State Council rulings, journal articles, pamphlets, books and political petitions. These evidences have been interpreted in the field not only of discourse analysis, but also of Social and Political History, in order to verify their impact upon slave trade dynamics, party building and social relations. The first chapter approaches the effects of the Anglo-Brazilian Slave Trade Treaty over Executive and Legislative relations, as well as the widespread conviction that the odious commerce was definitely finished. Chapter two handles its reopening as an illegal activity through articulated actions of particular social groups and members of Parliament (mainly the so-called grupo do Regresso and saquaremas). The following chapter relates the proslavery strategies of imperial politicians to cope with the increasingly more aggressive British diplomacy in the 1840s. The last one shows how parliamentary leaders, even after the slave trade suppression (1850), vindicated the political existence of slavery in Brazil as a means of national development for an indeterminate period of time

Este trabalho tem por objetivo descrever a trajetória artística de Luiz Candido Furtado Coelho nos anos de 1856 a 1867, período esse em que o artista português desenvolveu os cargos de ator, ensaiador e empresário teatral no Rio de Janeiro e em outras regiões do país. Para isso, consultamos jornais e revistas do século XIX, disponibilizados pelo sítio da Hemeroteca Digital da Biblioteca Nacional, fato esse que se justifica em razão de nessa plataforma haver um grande volume de informações sobre o trabalho de Furtado Coelho, fundamentais para a escrita da biografia do artista. Assim, todas as menções a Furtado Coelho encontradas nos periódicos do século XIX, e que foram apresentadas neste estudo, tem como intenção melhor compreender a história do artista português e do teatro no Brasil. Como resultado, o trabalho irá mostrar a grande importância de Furtado Coelho nos palcos do Rio de Janeiro e, de certa forma, do Brasil. Em outras palavras, iremos detalhar que o artista em estudo foi um dos grandes responsáveis pelo estabelecimento do realismo teatral no Brasil, pois como ator Furtado Coelho inovou nos palcos brasileiros ao apresentar uma nova maneira de atuar alinhada à escola realista e como empresário continuou a levar ao palco do Teatro Ginásio peças de valor literário, alternando-as com espetáculos de entretenimento, em um período no qual sofria a concorrência do teatro cômico e musicado.
This work aims to describe the artistic trajectory of Luiz Candido Furtado Coelho in the years 1856 to 1867, when the Portuguese artist worked as actor, rehearser and theater manager in Rio de Janeiro and other regions of the country. For this, we consulted newspapers and magazines of the nineteenth century, made available by the website of the Digital Library of the National Library, a fact that is justified because there is a large volume of information on the work of Furtado Coelho, fundamental for the writing of the biography of the artist. Thus, all references to the artist found in those periodicals presented in this study are intended to better understand his history, as well as the history of theater in Brazil. As a result, the work will show the great importance of Furtado Coelho on the stages of Rio de Janeiro and, to a certain extent, in the whole country. In other words, we will show Furtado Coelho as highly responsible for the establishment of theatrical realism in Brazil, since, as an actor, he innovated in Brazilian stages by presenting a new way of acting in line with the realist school and, as an entrepreneur, he continued to stage plays of literary value ate the Ginásio Theater, alternating them with spectacles of entertainment, in a period in which it suffered the competition of the comic and musical theater.

Cozza, John. "Sex Expression in a Rainforest Understory Herb, Begonia urophylla." Scholarly Repository, 2008. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_dissertations/186.
Full textAbstract:
Monoecy, the production of distinct male and female flowers on the same plant, is an important, though little studied, sexual strategy in the rainforest understory. This study of a monoecious plant discovered a cue to induce flowering, explored the interplay of gender constraint vs. plasticity in a natural population, and tested possible causes of gender in two laboratory experiments. An experiment in the lab found that reduced photoperiod for three weeks is an unambiguous cue for flowering. The remarkably long inductive period is followed by a long and variable period of floral initiation. This results in only partial synchronization of flowering among plants in a patch, which enhances mating opportunities in this protandrous plant. Inflorescence architecture is highly constrained, and ideally produces a phenotypic gender (proportion female) of about 0.5. However, in the forest at Las Cruces, Costa Rica, most plants were less female than predicted, mostly through abortion of female buds. Plants showed gender plasticity between and within years. Large plants produced more flowers and were more female in gender, and less variable in gender, than small plants. Reproduction was poorly correlated with environmental resource availability, measured as canopy openness, soil moisture, pH, and soil phosphorus, ammonium and nitrate. Phenotypic selection analysis on seed production suggests an optimal gender of 50-60% female, yet plasticity to be less female than this optimum, and in particular to express only male function, has been maintained. In a factorial experiment in the lab, high light or high nitrogen caused plants to produce more flowers and to be proportionally more female, and larger in weight, than low light or nitrogen. The effects of light and nitrogen on reproduction, plant size, and leaf greenness suggest an energy based determination of gender. Gender may be mostly influenced by plant size, but sometimes also opportunistically by environment. Inoculation with mycorrhizas caused plants to be less female in gender, and smaller in weight, than plants that were not inoculated. This suggests a net cost of mycorrhizas under experimental conditions, and supports the emerging view of the mycorrhizal symbiosis as not necessarily mutualistic under all circumstances.

Previous issue date: 2008The confrontation of ideas between Liberalism and Catholicism, and also between them and Protestants institutions was the object of this research. In order to help this study it was utilized the agenda setting hypothesis as a theoretical tool to make a documentation organization that in this case was the weekly A Estrella do Sul, the first official publication of the Diocese of Porto Alegre, capital city of Rio Grande do Sul. This weekly enabled us to realize the strategies used by the Roman Catholic Church to keep the power and politicalreligious position that belonged to it, having in mind a historical stretch between 1862 and 1866. In this sense three major agendas will be analyzed: Protestantism in Rio Grande do Sul, the necessity to form a Roman Clergy and the policy of Rio Grande do Sul. In this last agenda we could perceive the allies and enemies of the Roman Catholic Church by the publication of the weekly. A Estrella do Sul was an important vehicle in the defense context of the position of the Roman Catholic Church in Rio Grande do Sul although, a systematic study has not been done yet. Through this study, the aspects with regard to the catholic religiosity through A Estrella do Sul were contemplated, beginning thus a struggle for power between the Roman Catholic Church and its enemies during the second half of the 19th century, in Rio Grande do Sul.
O confronto de idéias entre o Liberalismo, o catolicismo e as instituições protestantes no Rio Grande do Sul no século XIX foram objeto desta pesquisa. Para tanto, foi utilizada a hipótese do agendamento como ferramenta teórica para a organização documental que neste caso foi o Semanário A Estrella do Sul, primeira publicação oficial da Diocese de Porto Alegre. Esse Semanário possibilitou perceber as estratégias utilizadas pela Igreja Católica para manter o poder e o espaço político-religioso que lhe pertencia, tendo em vista o recorte histórico que compreende esta pesquisa entre os anos de 1862 a 1866. Nesse sentido será analisado três grandes agendamentos: o protestantismo no Rio Grande do Sul, a necessidade da formação de um clero romanizado e a política rio-grandense. Neste último agendamento percebeu-se os aliados e os inimigos da Igreja Católica através da publicação do Semanário. A Estrella do Sul foi um veículo importante no contexto de defesa do espaço da Igreja Católica no Rio Grande do Sul, porém, não havia sido feito ainda um estudo mais sistemático da obra. Através deste trabalho, os aspectos referentes à religiosidade católica através da A Estrella do Sul foram contemplados, marcando assim, um espaço de luta por poder entre a Igreja Católica e seus inimigos na segunda metade do século XIX, no Rio Grande do Sul.

O objetivo dessa dissertação é analisar o desenvolvimento e o amadurecimento do Estado imperial e sua política externa em meados do século XIX, particularmente, no que se refere ao incidente diplomático conhecido como Questão Christie. Pretendemos, portanto, problematizar e discutir os limites e avanços da política externa brasileira, e comparar as versões de Brasil e Grã-Bretanha em relação ao ocorrido. Ao mesmo tempo, intentamos investigar a trajetória de João Batista Calógeras, um funcionário que trabalhou por quinze anos no ministério e que participou das negociações políticas entre Brasil e Grã-Bretanha, com isso, abrir um novo caminho para a compreensão da burocracia imperial nos negócios do Estado. Desse modo, pensamos em demonstrar que a agressividade da diplomacia britânica de combate ao tráfico de escravos combinado com uma política defensiva e autônoma do Império foram às causas fundamentais para o rompimento diplomático entre os dois países.
The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the development and maturation of the Imperial State and its foreign policy in the mid-nineteenth century, particularly in regard to the diplomatic incident known as the Crhistie Affair. We entend, therefore, to reflect on and discuss the limits and improvements of the Brazilian foreign policy, and to compare Brazil’s and England’s versions of the incident. In addition, we intend to investigate João Batista Calógeras trajectory, a government employee who worked for 15 years in the Ministry and took part in some political negotiations between Brazil and England, and as a result, to promote a new way to comprehend the imperial bureaucracy in the State’s business. All in all, we aim to demonstrate that the aggressiveness in the English diplomacy against the slave trade combined with a defensive and independent policy of the Imperial government was the fundamental cause of the rupture between the countries.

Schwarz, Dianne S. "Biochemical Mechanism of RNA Interference in Higher Organisms: A Dissertation." eScholarship@UMMS, 2005. https://escholarship.umassmed.edu/gsbs_diss/186.
Full textAbstract:
RNA interference (RNAi) is an evolutionarily conserved, sequence-specific gene silencing pathway found in eukaryotes, in which 21-nucleotide, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) guide destruction of a corresponding target mRNA. RNAi is a natural mechanism for both genome surveillance and gene regulation. Moreover, siRNAs can be transfected into cultured mammalian cells, causing the sequence-specific ‘knock down’ of an mRNA. My work in the Zamore lab has centered around the Drosophilain vitro system and cultured mammalian cells to study the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which culminates in the cleavage of a complementary target mRNA. Previous work proved that certain structural features of siRNAs are essential for RNAi in flies, including the requirement for 5´ phosphates and 3´ hydroxyl groups. In cultured mammalian cells, the requirement for a 5´ phosphate also holds true, but we found no evidence to support the necessity for 3´ hydroxyls in either system. In addition, siRNAs can act as single strands entering the pathway downstream of double-stranded siRNAs, both of which are competent in directing the cleavage of its cognate mRNA at a single site.
While these key features are a requirement for functional siRNAs, alone they do not determine the efficiency to which an siRNA can enter the RISC. In fact, both strands of an siRNA can enter RISC to a different degree as determined by the stabilities of the 5´ ends of the siRNA strand, a phenomenon termed ‘functional asymmetry’. This characteristic is also reflected in another class of small RNAs involved in gene silencing known as microRNAs (miRNAs), which are processed from long hairpin RNA structures into mature, single-stranded non-coding RNAs. The asymmetric loading of siRNAs suggests that miRNAs are initially generated from siRNA-like duplexes cleaved from the stem of the hairpins. The strand whose 5´ end is less tightly paired will be processed into the mature miRNA, while the other strand is destroyed. By applying the rules of siRNA asymmetry it is possible to predict which side of the stem will be processed into the mature miRNA, a finding verified experimentally by our lab and others. This discovery also has additional implications in designing highly effective siRNAs and in reducing siRNA off-target effects.
We used these results to design siRNAs that target the single nucleotide polymorphism in superoxide dismutase that causes the familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but leave the wild-type mRNA intact and functional. Our experiments have helped define the ‘rules’ for creating SNP-specific siRNAs. In particular, we found that only siRNAs with a purine:purine mismatch to the allele not intended for destruction show good discrimination. The placement of the mismatch in a tiled set of siRNAs shows that mismatches located in the 5´ region of the siRNA, a region shown to be responsible for siRNA binding, can not discriminate between alleles. In contrast, mismatches in the 3´ region of the siRNA, the region contributing to catalysis, discriminate between wild-type and mutant alleles. This work is an important step in creating allele-specific siRNAs as therapeutics for dominant negative genetic diseases.
But how does RISC cleave its target? By isolating both the 5´ and 3´ cleavage products produced by RISC in the Drosophila in vitro system, we discovered that RISC acts as a Mg2+-dependent endonuclease that cleaves a single phosphodiester bond in the mRNA target, leaving 5´ phosphate and 3´ hydroxyl groups. These findings were a critical step in the demonstration that Argonaute, a protein known to be a component of RISC, is the RNAi endonuclease.

Jimenez, Ricardo. "A Comparison of a Young and Older Adult Population of Computer Users' Recognition Rates of Different Tactons Using Modulation and Simple Waveforms as Stimulus Parameters." NSUWorks, 2012. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/gscis_etd/186.
Full textAbstract:
Tactons are tactile cues, which work in conjunction with a vibrotactile device that is placed on the body, and mechanically produces sensations on the skin surface; this allows the sense of touch to be used in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Effective tacton parameters of stimuli have been identified for a young population. However, studies have shown that the detection of vibrations degrades as a natural part of the aging process. Furthermore, there are a variety of different vibrotactile devices, and studies have shown that vibrotactile device type can affect detection thresholds. This presents a challenge since detection thresholds and recognition rates of different tacton cues, using one device, may not correlate to those of another. There is limited research on the effectiveness of tacton parameters and detection thresholds of simple waveforms in an older population of computer users, when using the C2 Tactor from EAI systems.
This work used the C2 Tactor and stimulus parameters similar to those which have been shown to be effective in a young population, and conducted a comparison study between a young population of computer users between 18 and 25 years old and an older population of computer users between 55 and 75 years old. The study compared both groups' detection thresholds of three different simple waveforms (sinusoidal, square, and sawtooth) and found a significant increase in detection threshold by the older group. In addition a comparison of both groups' recognition rates of modulated sinusoidal waveforms was conducted and it was found that the older group had a significant decrease in recognition rates of modulated sinusoidal waveforms. In addition, it was shown that increasing the amplitude significantly improved the recognition rate of the older test group. A significant amount of variance in detection threshold and tacton recognition rates was found in the older test group, particularly those over the age of 60. The results of this study clearly showed a correlation between age, detection threshold, and recognition rates of tactons. The study shows that detection threshold and recognition rate deficiencies of older adults are functions of frequency and amplitude and not waveform or device.

Thompson, Sarah E. "Development of a Teacher Identification Form of Student Interest in Mathematics." TopSCHOLAR®, 2010. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/186.
Full textAbstract:
Comparing the mathematics performance of American students to their counterparts in other countries has been a common theme in recent literature, with conclusions generally finding that American students are falling far behind. One response to this problem may involve research which has shown a modest positive correlation between student interest and achievement in math (Koller, Baumert, & Schnabel, 2001; Schiefele, Krapp, & Winteler, 1992). Being able to identify students with high levels of interest in math may allow educators to provide advanced instruction to such students.
Current measures of student interest in mathematics are lacking in that they often are not based on any one theory, they do not cover all characteristics of individual interest, and are based on a self-report format. Therefore, the goal of this thesis was to develop a teacher identification form of student interest in mathematics to add to the literature a psychometrically sound measure of student interest in math which is assessed by classroom teachers instead of the students themselves.
The teacher identification form was developed based on the characteristics of individual interest as defined by Hidi and Renninger’s (2006) Four-Phase Model of Interest Development. To determine reliability and validity of the form, second through sixth grade math teachers in six elementary schools in Warren County, KY completed the form both in a pilot study and also later as part of an identification process for students to receive advanced math instruction.
For the purposes of data analysis, results were separated by grade. Reliability estimates for the form, as indicated by Cronbach’s alpha, were found to be .934 for third grade, .925 for fourth grade, and .901 for fifth grade. The overall Cronbach’s alpha for grades two through five was .926. These high reliability coefficients indicate high consistency among the items.
Validity of the identification form was established by correlating results with the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) math section, a standardized assessment taken by all students in the six schools. Correlations between teacher identification rating composites and ITBS math scores were as follows: .379 for third grade, .417 for fourth grade, and .460 for fifth grade. The sixth grade data set was incomplete, and thus that correlation for was .300. Each individual item on the identification form and the grade composite scores all correlated with ITBS math scores significantly at the .01 level, indicating sufficient validity of the form.
An important observation about the results is that the highest validity coefficients as well as the narrowest range of correlations were found for fifth grade data. The next highest correlations were found for fourth grade, and the lowest correlations and widest range of correlations were found for third grade data. The possibility that this pattern of results may be due to better developed individual interests of older students or that students’ individual interests are more easily identified by their teachers in higher grades is discussed.

The researcher wanted to establish which program was most adequate from a usability perspective among second-year Information Technology (IT) students at the Central University of Technology (CUT), Free State. The Software Usability Measurement Inventory (SUMI) testing technique can measure software quality from a user perspective. The technique is supported by an extensive reference database to measure a software product’s quality in use and is embedded in an effective analysis and reporting tool called SUMI scorer (SUMISCO). SUMI was applied in a controlled laboratory environment where second-year IT students of the CUT, utilized SUMI as part of their networking subject, System Software 1 (SPG1), to evaluate each of the three ICT network programs. The results, strengths and weaknesses, as well as usability improvements, as identified by SUMISCO, are discussed to determine the best ICT network program from a usability perspective according to SPG1 students.

Full textAbstract:
Toluene / o-xylene monooxyenase (ToMO) from Pseudomonas sp. OX1 is a multimeric metalloenzyme enzyme that efficiently catalyzes the hydroxylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with high specificity. Though included in a larger group of conserved bacterial multicomponent monooxygenases (BMMs) studied as potential biocatalysts for industrial hydrocarbon chemistry, the substrate specificity and oxygenated intermediates of ToMO differ greatly from its well-characterized, alkane-hydroxylating analog sMMO. Despite a shared global topology and near identical active sites, sMMO can cleave inert C-H bonds in alkanes while ToMO cannot - two seemingly similar structures give rise to vastly different chemistries. This work seeks to determine a structural basis for this difference by mutational analysis of residues thought to conformationally constrain the active site in ToMO, with the goal of replicating the terminal alkane hydroxylating activity of sMMO.
To this end, a library of potential alkane-hydroxylating mutants was generated and kinetically characterized, revealing a range of novel behaviors including significant reaction rate enhancements. In combination with low-level computational modeling to quantify the bulk and local rigidity of both sMMOH and ToMOH, we propose a broader strategy for BMM scaffolds to achieve a variety of specific and efficient hydrocarbon chemistries.

This study is concerned with the role of intangible resources in business strategy. Intangible resources range from intellectual property rights, through contracts and databases, to the more subjective, or "people dependent" factors of reputation and know-how. Sustainable competitive advantage results from the possession of relevant capability differentials. Regulatory and positional capabilities are concerned with assets, such as patents, or reputation; functional and cultural capabilities are concerned with competencies, such as speedy response to customer demand, or the ability of the organisation as a whole to cope with change. The theoretical part of this study is concerned with identifying the nature and characteristics of intangible resources, and with the development of a framework which links the different kinds of intangible resource to the four capabilities. This framework is used as the basis of a new technique which aims to identify the relative contribution which intangible resources make to competitive advantage. In order to place this analysis technique in context a review of the strategic management literature was carried out. The empirical part of this study comprised structured sur veys of chief executives, specifically: a pilot postal survey, a national postal survey, and six case studies. The main finding of the postal surveys was that the intangible resources which make the most important contribution to business si-ccess are reputation, employee know-how and organisational culture. The main finding of the case studies was that the framework linking intangible resources to the four capabilities does provide a new perspective for viewing the role of intangibles, and it can be a useful aid to facilitate communications. The major contribution to knowledge claimed for this study is that of treating the issue of intangible resources as a coherent subject; it is hoped that the study will provide a new perspective with which both academics, and practising managers, can view strategic issues.

Full textAbstract:
Supersonic channel airfoil design techniques have been shown to significantly reduce drag in high-speed flows over diamond shaped airfoils by Ruffin and colleagues. The effect of applying these techniques to a NACA 66-206 airfoil is presented. The design domain entails channel heights of 8-16.6% thickness-to-chord and speeds from Mach 1.5-3.0. Numerical simulations show an increase in the lift-to-drag ratio for airfoils at Mach 2.5 at a 35,000-ft altitude with a 12% channel height geometry showing a benefit of 17.2% at 6-deg angle of attack and a sharp channel leading edge. Wave drag is significantly reduced while viscous forces are slightly increased because of greater wetted area. Lift forces compared to clean airfoil solutions were also decreased, due mainly to the reduction in the length of the lifting surfaces. A tensile yield failure structural analysis of a typical beam found an 11.4% channel height could be implemented over 50% of the span between two typical ribs. A three dimensional wing was designed with the determined slot geometry and two dimensional flow analyses. An overall increase in L/D of 9% was realized at Mach 2.5 at a 35,000-ft altitude and 6-deg angle of attack.

This research was conducted with the desire to study Geography as a science able to provide answers to numerous questions and observations made by the nineteenth-century naturalist travelers who passed through the Amazon region, in particular, the observations made by Louis Agassiz Agassiz and his wife Elisabeth who led an expedition to the Amazon between 1865 and 1866. However, using Geography as a science to understand the impressions, this naturalist, a period in which the actual Geography had not yet consolidated their theoretical bases? Therefore this research adhered primarily to perform an elaborate overview of the philosophical which provided a better understanding of the organization and systematization of geographical thought highlighting their precursors as Immanuel Kant, Alexander von Humboldt and Ritter, whereas, after taking possession of this philosophical reading, we sought to discern the influences received these chains in the nascent Geography, in the face of the journey undertaken by Louis Agassiz, whilst grasping their approaches on the multiple landscapes in the Amazon, or the perception of the traveler as the natural and human landscape, responsible for the configuration space explored by the same. Finally, this research attempts to reproduce the path of the traveler, through the preparation of a map that traces the route taken by the Thayer expedition, showing the positions and perceptions geographic traveler along this one-year expedition.

Enlisted soldiers preferred to elect company- and regimental-level officers during the first year of the American Civil War. This thesis explores how early Confederate mobilization, class conflict between elites and non-elites, and Confederate military policies affected officer elections from spring 1861 to spring 1862 among Virginia Confederates. Chapter 1 explores how the chaotic nature of mobilization and common soldiers' initial expectations regarding their military service influenced elections from April 1861 until late July 1861. Chapter 2 details the changing nature of elections as elite officers faced challenges from non-elites and Confederate policies regarding furloughs and conscription forced officers to reconcile their men’s expectations of loose discipline with directives from senior commanders.

Full textAbstract:
2009 - 2010Organic Thin-Film Transistor (OTFT) can be considered one of the building blocks of Organic Large-Area Electronics. The role of this kind of switching device is crucial in the organic information displays field but also in a wide range of possible applications which take advantage of such switching devices. For these reasons, major technology investments have been made to optimize the characteristics related to switching the power status of the pixel in order to obtain sufficient dynamics for a proper representation of moving pictures, movies, etc. In addition to technological and industrial fallouts of OTFT utilization, it should be noted that materials science in Organic Electronics often employs these transistors as an investigation method - an experiment – in order to characterize the physical properties of semiconductors, insulators and interfaces by leveraging device’ principles of operation and physics. The motivation of the present investigation is related to the evidence that gate dielectrics properties and dielectric-semiconductor interface physics are known to govern growth of partiallyordered channel films with a tremendous impact on the morphology of their polycrystalline phase and then to electric performances. Such relationships are still not clearly understood nor fully exploited in a wide spectrum of cases. Keeping in mind that gate insulators can be considered as a key-factor in OTFT device modeling and optimization, the purpose of this thesis work has been the analysis and the interpretation of the role played by such dielectrics and their interface in the organic thin-film transistors performance. The key aspects which have been investigated about dielectrics are the gate leakages and the models to extract the channel current, the relationship between wettability of dielectric surfaces and the growth of pentacene, the channel morphology, charge transport and its thermal activation. In particular, device’ operation regimes and performance parameters have been studied taking into account non-ideal behaviours which can hardly affect physical interpretations of charge transport mechanisms in organic semiconducting films and bring to misleading considerations. In such analysis, the parasitic gate dielectric conduction has been emphasized because it appears appealing both from a scientific point and from an industrial perspective. In fact, gate leakages often appear as a hidden problem in many literature reports and nevertheless they become dominant in technological considerations because they have a relevant impact when working on very thin insulating films or leaky dielectrics like polymers or solution-processed materials because they are responsible of static dissipation in OFET-based circuitry. In order to obtain improved devices, we studied the OTFT performances when varying the dielectric material. We considered the surface wettability as a key factor to be decreased in order to obtain performing channels. Thus, after taking into account standard gate dielectrics at different film thicknesses, and studying mobility in a gate-leakage-aware modeling framework, we acted on the nature and interface of insulators to increase the hydrophobicity and obtain a large-grain growth of pentacene channel semiconductor. In the experimental, among other things, we compared the utilization of highly hydrophobic compounds in gate dielectric layer fabrication to surface conditioning treatments of usual insulating polymers and to the deposition of buffer layers. In the aim to prepare an improved device, we introduced in device’ processing a novel insulating material, an organic-inorganic hybrid material based on a Tetraethyl Orthosilicate / 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecyl triethoxysilane solution commonly named “PFTEOS:TEOS”. The abovementioned layer is characterized by perfluoroalkyl units which are responsible of the desired highly hydrophobic properties. It has been solutionprocessed and finally deposited by a spin-coating-based sol-gel technique on the metallic gate layer. Following an optimization path, a thin film (<10nm) of Poly(methyl methacrylate) has been employed to bufferize the PFTEOS:TEOS surface to reduce gate currents. A mobility-morphology trend for analyzed dielectrics in OTFTs has been extrapolated and analyzed denoting PFTEOS:TEOS as an exception to a well-assessed empirical rule. Escaping from obvious considerations about the effect of grain boundaries in channel performances, the singularity of PFTEOS:TEOS has lead to the adoption of thermal activation of charge carriers as an instrument to open to a deeper interpretation of channel defects. Thermal analyses of charge transport activation for the considered samples have been performed showing a general validity of the Meyer-Neldel rule also for hybrid dielectrics. Furthermore, the extraction of energetic parameters in Arrhenius plots applied to static electrical characterizations has revealed differences of maximum mobility trends versus the Meyer-Neldel characteristic Energy (EMN) when comparing polymer dielectric-based OTFTs to PFTEOS:TEOSbased OTFTs. The differences in dielectric/OSC interface appared to be correlated to the isokinetic temperature and activation energy and then to the disorder parameter “:” of the Density Of States in the valence band of the organic channel. Then, instead of considering the contribution of inband density of states of the channel material, the amplitude of the distribution of energetic states has been exploited in the investigation of surface properties and dielectric-specific features remarked. The activation energy analysis showed a trend inversion in the Meyer-Neldel Temperature (TMN)/mobility relationship between PMMA samples and PFTEOS:TEOS samples revealing an effect induced by the very nature of insulator rather than the OSC/dielectric interface on thermally activated processes. The dielectric is then acknowledged to be responsible of a wide range of thermally-activated behaviours in the response of disordered OSC used in OTFTs. Then, thermal analyses have proven to be a key discriminant factor to address non-conventional dielectrics surface-features characterizations in electronic devices able to quantify nanoscopic disorder in polycristalline mediums. In conclusion the behavior of a novel sol-gel gate insulator has been characterized and analyzed comparing it to plain cases and finding an original behavior of mobility/Activation energy which exhibits an inverse (decreasing) trend between energetic disorder and charge transport. This has been completely opposite to trends found for PMMA devices encouraging studying, exploiting and characterizing more in depth PFTEOS:TEOS material for OTFT fabrication purposes. Organic Electronics has still to face some key challenges to assert itself and become competitive in market sectors left still partially unexplored by the inorganic electronic technology. From this point of view, the possibility to exploit dielectric materials singularities to break technological performance trends, united to the availability of second-order modelling techniques both in insulator non-idealities and in charge transport activation can be a non-trivial starting point for further investigations.[edited by author]

The aim of this research project was to determine the effectiveness of DaimlerChrysler South Africa’s efforts in addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The devastating impacts of the HIV/AIDS pandemic have already been felt at the workplace as without further successful interventions, HIV/AIDS mortality at DaimlerChrysler South Africa (DCSA) was expected to peak in 2006. Investment in HIV/AIDS programmes has been proposed as good business practice. The DCSA HIV/AIDS Workplace Programme was thus established to limit the impact and consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic on its workers, their families and surrounding communities. The empirical survey, comprising a questionnaire, examined the attitude and perception of employees regarding the effectiveness of the DCSA HIV/AIDS Workplace Programme. The findings of the empirical survey corresponded with the findings of the literature survey in concluding that the DCSA HIV/AIDS Workplace Programme has been successful in effectively addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic. A few aspects of the Workplace Programme need attention and recommendations have been made in order to contribute to the lowering of HIV/AIDS prevalence rates at DaimlerChrysler South Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last two decades social vulnerability has emerged as a major area of study, with increasing attention to the study of vulnerable populations. Generally, the elderly are among the most vulnerable members of any society, and widespread population aging has led to greater focus on elderly vulnerability. However, the absence of a valid and practical measure constrains the ability of policy-makers to address this issue in a comprehensive way. This study developed a composite indicator, The Elderly Social Vulnerability Index (ESVI), and used it to undertake a comparative analysis of the availability of support for elderly Jamaicans based on their access to human, material and social resources. The results of the ESVI indicated that while the elderly are more vulnerable overall, certain segments of the population appear to be at greater risk. Females had consistently lower scores than males, and the oldest-old had the highest scores of all groups of older persons. Vulnerability scores also varied according to place of residence, with more rural parishes having higher scores than their urban counterparts. These findings support the political economy framework which locates disadvantage in old age within political and ideological structures. The findings also point to the pervasiveness and persistence of gender inequality as argued by feminist theories of aging. Based on the results of the study it is clear that there is a need for policies that target specific population segments, in addition to universal policies that could make the experience of old age less challenging for the majority of older persons. Overall, the ESVI has displayed usefulness as a tool for theoretical analysis and demonstrated its potential as a policy instrument to assist decision-makers in determining where to target their efforts as they seek to address the issue of social vulnerability in old age. Data for this study came from the 2001 population and housing census of Jamaica, with multiple imputation for missing data. The index was derived from the linear aggregation of three equally weighted domains, comprised of eleven unweighted indicators which were normalized using z-scores. Indicators were selected based on theoretical relevance and data availability.

Full textAbstract:
A responsabilidade civil é um dos institutos mais antigos do direito, sendo que seus antecedentes remontam a Roma Antiga. A responsabilidade civil foi inserida no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro em um primeiro momento em sua modalidade subjetiva, cujos elementos estavam fixados na ação ou omissão, na culpa, no dano e no nexo de causalidade. Com a intensificação dos processos industriais e a complexidade das relações entre indústrias e consumidores passou a ser vista sob a modalidade objetiva, em que bastava para responsabilizar o agente causador, a existência do dano e no nexo causal entre este a ação. A responsabilidade civil se aprimorou até passar a ser analisada sob o plano ambiental, impulsionada pelos grandes danos ambientais provocados pela indústria contra o meio ambiente. De modo que atualmente pode-se dizer que coexiste a responsabilidade civil objetiva com relação ao consumidor e ao meio ambiente, de maneira simultânea. O que é dano ao consumidor, também pode ser dano ao meio ambiente. Neste aspecto objetiva-se abordar a responsabilidade civil pós-consumo por parte dos fabricantes que a um só tempo agridem o meio ambiente e provocam danos à saúde e ao bem-estar do consumidor. Defende-se a necessidade da extensão da relação de consumo a partir da intervenção estatal nas relações privadas e coloca-se em teste o princípio da função social e ambiental deste contrato como forma de buscar a responsabilidade pós-consumo dos fabricantes. Todavia, necessária a existência de uma mudança na postura dos consumidores e de uma tomada de consciência por parte da indústria para fazer com que seja garantido o equilíbrio entre atividade econômica, meio ambiente e consumo, para passar a adotar a consciência socioambiental que revele o desenvolvimento sustentável e assegure a sadia qualidade de vida às presentes e futuras gerações.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-14T16:00:50Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Mathias F Gewehr.pdf: 662865 bytes, checksum: 3f585cb8e3f7ae07ff32055d6ab4b573 (MD5)

The civil liability is one of the justinian codes oldest of the law, being that its antecedents retrace Old Rome. The civil liability was inserted in the Brazilian legal system at a first moment in its subjective modality, whose elements were fixed in the action or omission, the guilt, the damage and the causal nexus. With the intensification of the industrial processes and the complexity of the relations between industries and consumers it passed to be seen under the objective modality, where it was enough to make responsible the causing agent, the existence of the damage and in the causal nexus enters this the action. The civil liability if improved until passing to be analyzed under the ambient plan, stimulated for the great ambient damages provoked by the industry against the environment. In way that currently can be said that the objective civil liability with regard to the consumer and to the environment coexists, in simultaneous way. What it is damage to the consumer, also can be damage to the environment. In this objective aspect to approach the civil liability after-consumption on the part of the manufacturers who to one time attack the environment and only provoke damages to the health and well-being of the consumer. It is defended necessity of the extension of the relation of consumption from the state intervention in the private relations and is placed in test the principle of the ambientsociofunction of this contract as form to search the responsibility after- consumption of the manufacturers. However necessary the existence of a change in the position of the consumers and of a taking of conscience on the part of the industry making with that the balance between economic activity, environment and consumption is guaranteed, to start to adopt the ambientsocioconscience that discloses the sustainable development and assures the healthy quality of life to the presents and futures generations.

Resumo: Este estudo investiga, por meio de uma perspectiva histórica, os anos de formação do ficcionista Machado de Assis que, seguramente impelido pelo grande sucesso da estética teatral realista entre a jovem intelectualidade fluminense, a época reunida em torno do Teatro Ginásio Dramático, primeiro experimentou expressar-se por intermédio do teatro. Assim sendo, serão analisados neste trabalho, além de suas comédias, seus escritos críticos, suas traduções/imitações dramáticas, bem como sua atuação como censor do Conservatório Dramático Brasileiro. Contudo, a partir dos sinais patentes de enfraquecimento da "escola realista" frente à emergência dos gêneros teatrais ligeiros e musicados e da pouco calorosa recepção crítica de suas comédias encenadas, observaremos como Machado de Assis é impelido a traçar novos rumos para seu projeto literário, intensificando a produção de seus primeiros contos. Mas, comédia ou conto, a ficção machadiana deste período é profundamente marcada pelos princípios políticos liberais visivelmente presentes em sua produção jornalística
Abstract: This study investigates, through a historical perspective, the Machado de Assis' years of formation. Surely impelled for the great success of the realistic theater between the young intellectuality of Rio de Janeiro, by that time congregated around the Teatro Ginásio Dramático, he also tried to express itself by the stage. Thus, the objects of this work, beyond Machado's comedies, will be his critical writings, his translations and imitations of French comedies, as well as his performance as censor of the Conservatório Dramático Brasileiro. However, from the signals of weakness of the "realistic school" in front of the great success of popular sorts of theater and the disappointing reception of his staged comedies, we could observe how Machado de Assis will be impelled to trace new routes for his literary project, intensifying the writing of short-stories. But, comedy or short-story, the Machado's fiction of that period was deeply marked by politics principles, those evident mainly on his journalistic writings

O presente trabalho tem como foco a política imperial através das atividades eleitorais na província do Ceará durante metade do século XIX. Discutiremos aspectos do processo de construção do Império brasileiro, a construção dos partidos políticos e os diferentes projetos de nação. Utilizaremos como um dos problemas historiográficos as eleições da vila de Telha em 1860, em que grupos políticos distintos incorreram em sangrento confronto. Busca-se, assim, a percepção não apenas do fato, como também de suas apropriações nas diversas fontes. Inserto em um período de transformações na legislação eleitoral do Império, como a criação dos círculos eleitorais e a “lei das inelegibilidades”, o evento permite pensar características mais abrangentes da sociedade cearense e da vida política no império. Ao tratar o pleito de Telha como situação-limite, podemos pôr em discussão as noções de coronelismo, política familiar e violência no sertão, da mesma forma que é possível problematizar os comportamentos dos sujeitos envolvidos; tanto os munidos de bala quanto os providos da escrita.

The research interest in this study was on learners’ perceptions on the factors that influence learners to use and abuse drugs. This study discussed learner understanding of drug use and abuse, what learners consider as reasons why learners use and abuse drugs and what could be done to discourage this phenomenon. The investigation was carried in the central region of the Eastern Cape in Fort Beaufort District. This district covers the rural areas of Nkonkobe municipality. I made use of qualitative methodology to obtain data from a sample of 56 learners and 12 teachers including the principal of the school. This study is located in one high school in the Fort Beaufort District. Methods used included learner surveys, learners’ focus group discussions, teachers’ focus discussions, learners individual interviews as well as document analysis. A major finding in this study indicates that learners understood what drugs as well as heir effects on those who use and abused them. The learners also unpacked factors that contribute to this phenomenon, which include peer pressure, socialization, stress and others. Teachers and learners also suggested ways in which drug use can be discouraged. Teacher also acknowledged that there was a drug problem amongst learners in their school and that something should urgently be done to discourage this phenomenon.

Esta pesquisa se propõe a analisar a revista Semana Illustrada, dirigida pelo prussiano Henrique Fleiuss, com especial atenção para as representações do negro e do tema da escravidão. O periódico circulou no Rio de Janeiro entre 1860 e 1876 e é pioneiro no que se refere ao uso de imagens na imprensa. As novas tecnologias, associadas à demanda por imagens, incitaram o surgimento e posterior consolidação da imprensa ilustrada. A invenção e a popularização da fotografia evidenciavam uma sociedade ávida por imagens e que estava em pleno processo de transformação e elaboração de uma educação visual. Nesta pesquisa, a reflexão sobre as imagens presentes no periódico Semana Illustrada que se referem ao negro e ao escravo tem como objetivo entender a visão que este veículo de comunicação tinha sobre o assunto, como parte das questões cotidianas da sociedade oitocentista do Rio de Janeiro na segunda metade do século XIX. O contexto brasileiro se revela peculiar, uma vez que se tratava de uma sociedade que se pretendia moderna, mas que convivia ainda com grande contingente de mão de obra escrava. Ao estudar essas imagens, descortina-se a cultura visual de um tempo emblemático para o Brasil.This research aims to analyse the magazine Semana Illustrada, managed by the prussian Henrique Fleiuss, focusing on the representation of black people and slavery. The magazine circulated in Rio de Janeiro between 1860 and 1876 and plays a pioneer role concerning the use of images in the press. The new technologies associated to the demand for images incited the appearing and consolidation of illustrated press. The invention and popularization of photography evinced a society avid for images and in process of transformation and elaboration of a visual education. This research intends to reflect upon the images found in Semana Illustrada that refers to the black people and the slave in order to understand the vision of this vehicle of communication about the subject as part of social life in Rio de Janeiro by the second half of nineteenth century. The brazilian context is peculiar once there was a society pretending to be modern, that nevertheless cohabited with a big contingent of slave work force. Study this images is to discover the visual culture of an emblematic time for Brazil.

I propose a reflection on the question of work in coffee plantations in São Paulo and how the discussions, which have sought alternantives for the rural labor with the end of slavery, were conducted. We can not say that immigration was a consensus among the farmers, by contrast, throughout the period that it was present, immigration was the target of criticism from different parts of society. The time clipping has, in Immigration Promoted Society, a mounting of the whole apparatus around the arrival of immigrants, through the correspondence sent by their relatives and friends. is in chronological Society Promoting Immigration This aspect is what makes difference between the immigrant project from the other ones which were set previously, or even in the period of its operation, that is, even being the link of the significant immigrant influx, Promoter is going to take as prerogative an indication to immigrate. Only listed families, that were under the auspices of the project, therefore, is a grant program for immigration, only through it is that the subsidy was paid, both for those who immigrated under his responsibility, as the spontaneous who requesting reimbursement or even those who traveled with the encouragement of the general government
Proponho uma reflexão sobre a questão do trabalho na lavoura cafeeira paulista e como foram conduzidos os debates que buscavam alternativas para o trabalho rural com fim da escravidão. Não podemos afirmar que a imigração foi um consenso entre os produtores rurais, pelo contrário, durante todo o período que esteve presente foi alvo de críticas de diferentes setores da sociedade. O recorte cronológico tem na Sociedade Promotora de Imigração a montagem de todo aparato em torno da vinda dos imigrantes, através das correspondencias enviadas pelos seus parentes e amigos. Esse aspecto é o que diferencia seu projeto imigrantista dos que foram estabelecidos anteriormente ou, até, no período de seu funcionamento, ou seja, mesmo sendo o elo da significativa corrente imigratória a Promotora vai adotar como prerrogativa a indicação para imigrar. Somente famílias, indicadas, é que estavam sob a tutela do projeto, portanto, é um programa de subvenção para a imigração, somente por meio dela é que o subsídio era pago, tanto para aqueles que imigravam sob sua responsabilidade, como os espontâneos que solicitavam reembolso ou mesmo aqueles que viajavam com o incentivo do governo geral

O escopo dessa dissertação é resultado de uma necessidade da época, ou seja, do momento em que as preocupações em torno do desenvolvimento sustentável ou dos impactos gerados pelas ações humanas se tornam cada vez mais presentes em debates científicos e, consequentemente em iniciativas políticas. Nossa proposta é compreender as ideias a respeito da natureza e da agricultura que se desenvolveram em Itu entre os anos de 1860 e 1864 pelo agricultor Carlos Ilidro, considerando as relações que o mesmo mantivera com instituições do período que tiveram como objetivo pensar sobre progresso agrícola do país. Como fonte utilizamos três periódicos desde 1860 - O agricultor Paulista, 25 de Março e o Correio Paulistano. Os dois primeiros foram editados em Itu por iniciativa de Carlos Ilidro da Silva, agricultor interessado em reformar os métodos de cultivo praticados até aquele momento. No último jornal, editado na cidade de São Paulo, o agricultor passou a escrever uma coluna quinzenal, na qual discorria sobre as mesmas práticas que, para ele, deveriam ser superadas e os meios para tal. Baseando-nos em suas ideias procuramos identificar como natureza e agricultura se coadunam, no sentido de compreender uma face de um movimento mais amplo vivido no país, qual seja, o crescimento de uma sensibilidade em relação ao mundo natural no século XIX.The scope of this dissertation is the result of a need of the time, ie the time when the concerns about sustainable development or the impacts of human actions become increasingly present in scientific debates, and consequently in the political initiatives. Our proposal is the need for understanding the ideas that were developed in Itu on the nature of the end of the century XIX. As sources, we used three newspapers edited since 1860 - O Agricultor Paulista, O 25 de Março and Correio Paulistano. The first two were published on the initiative of Carlos Ilidro da Silva, a farmer interested in reforming the methods of cultivation practiced so far. In the last newspaper, published in São Paulo, the farmer went on to write a biweekly column in which discoursed on the same practices that should will be overcome and the means to do so. Drawing on his ideas we tried to identify how nature and agriculture were concurrent, to understand one face of a broader movement lived in the country, namely the growth of a sensitivity to the natural world in the nineteenth century.

A presente pesquisa objetivou analisar a mudança estratégica no Banco do Brasil no período compreendido entre 1986 e 2008. Esta análise foi realizada de acordo com a abordagem de Pettigrew (1996) nas perspectivas do contexto, processo e conteúdo. O Banco do Brasil foi escolhido por ser uma das instituições mais antigas do País, com considerável expressão nas esferas econômica, política e empresarial. A busca pela compreensão das mudanças nesta instituição foi entendida como sendo de relevância para a matéria das mudanças organizacionais, e no anseio de enriquecer a base empírica sobre o tema. A pesquisa se deu de forma qualitativa, através de entrevistas com sete administradores de alto escalão do Banco do Brasil, em áreas diversas de atuação, em diferentes localidades. Estes administradores foram argüidos de forma aberta sobre a mudança na empresa, sendo que suas entrevistas foram gravadas e compiladas, apesar de os dados serem apresentados de forma anônima. As informações obtidas nestas entrevistas foram confrontadas, validadas e enriquecidas através de referências bibliográficas sobre a organização. A partir das entrevistas concedidas, foi delineado o ponto de corte inicial do trabalho, representado pela mais substancial mudança na organização, nas últimas décadas, de acordo com os entrevistados a perda da conta-movimento. Principiando com este evento, são apresentadas as principais mudanças subseqüentes na organização, entendidas como sendo partes de um processo teleológico que objetivou a mudança nos próprios alicerces estratégicos da empresa. A mudança no Banco do Brasil, portanto, foi dada em sua própria razão de existência, ao longo do tempo, em virtude do seu contexto e através de um leque de mudanças menores, mas substancialmente significativas

Full textAbstract:
Johann Joseph Fux's influence on the development of eighteenth-century alto trombone literature is significant. His music, when compared with that of other composers who wrote for the alto trombone before 1730, reveals a more elaborate and frequent use of the instrument. Many of Fux's compositions call for alto, tenor, or bass trombone, but his Sonata a Quattro K. 347 and Alma Redemptoris Mater K. 186 are of particular interest in regard to the composer's treatment of the alto trombone. This study points out the technical demands placed on the trombonist in Fux's works as compared to such contemporary composers as Antonio Caldara and Marc'Antonio Ziani. The primary goal of this study is to substantiate the importance of Fux's role in the development of the alto trombone repertoire. Published and unpublished works by Fux that significantly incorporate the instrument have been studied and compared to compositions of his contemporaries. A thorough discussion of Sonata a Quattro and Alma Redemptoris Mater illustrates the technical aspects of his alto trombone writing. The secondary goal of this study is to create a performing edition of Sonata a Quattro and Alma Redemptoris Mater. The existing editions in Denkmaler der Tonkunst in Osterreich and Johann Joseph Fux, Samtliche Werke are less than complete. There are no individual parts for performers, and tempo indications for several movements are missing. Mistakes in the parts of Sonata a Quattro and discrepancies between the figured bass and continuo realization have been corrected for the creation of a new edition. Tempo, ornamentation, instruments, and articulation are also discussed to assist in the presentation of an historically informed performance of the Sonata a Quattro and Alma Redemptoris Mater.

This thesis is a critical approach to the concept of fear of crime. It is not necessarily a call for an end to the study of fear of crime. From a genealogical perspective, the thesis first traces the proliferation of academic, governmental and popular interests in the fear of crime in three Western democracies; and secondly explains how this interest has affected both the subjects of inquiry and the very modes of inquiry themselves. It investigates historically the emergence of fear of crime as a set of discourses in the human sciences and in government and explores the ways in which these various institutions have imagined the subjects of their inquiries. It also discusses the ways in which fear of crime has become a discourse within popular culture and the mass media, and explores why gender is a potent signifier in fear of crime research.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Resumo: Este estudo examina a representação da escravidão em quatro crônicas da série Ao acaso (1864-1865), de Machado de Assis, publicadas no Diário do Rio de Janeiro. Como fundamentação teórica, o presente estudo utiliza o conceito de "representação" de Roger Chartier (1990), de acordo com o qual percebemos o mundo de formas múltiplas, forjadas por acontecimentos históricos, por um conjunto de interesses e de atores sociais. A História Cultural olha para essas práticas cotidianas para entender como os indivíduos e as instituições dão sentido aos discursos históricos. Sendo assim, o objetivo da presente pesquisa é compreender a relação entre crônica machadiana e mundo social, bem como de que forma essa mediação realizada pelo narrador-cronista alcançará os leitores. Busca-se também verificar como estas representações da escravidão dialogam com as outras formas textuais citadas na crônica machadiana, uma vez que os textos compartilham do mesmo espaço midiático (Thérenty 2007; Granja 2010). Além do mais, essa pesquisa procura examinar, a partir do que diz Thérenty (2007), o estado ambíguo entre ficção e narrativa do fato real coexistente nas crônicas e como suas fronteiras porosas geram trocas entre as várias rubricas dos textos dos periódicos. Desse modo, a hipótese sob investigação, portanto, é que o estudo das implicações do conceito de representação da escravidão nessas crônicas machadianas, e a análise dos diálogos entre as demais rubricas do jornal, podem ajudar a explicaras...
Abstract: This study examines the representation of slavery in four chronicles from the series Ao acaso (1864-1865), by Machado de Assis, published in the Diário do Rio de Janeiro. Its theoretical background is Roger Chartier's (1990) concept of "representation", according to which we perceive the real world in multiple ways, forged by historical events, as well as a set of interests and social agents. Cultural History sees these everyday practices as ways to understand how individuals and the institutions assign meaning to historical discourses. Hence, the present study aims to understand the relationship between Machado's chronicles and the social world, and how the mediation done by the narrator-chronicler reaches the audience. It also seeks to verify that these representations of slavery converse with the other texts Machado cites in his chronicles, since the former share the same space in the media (Thérenty 2007; Granja 2010). Besides, this study uses Thérenty's (2007) ideas to examine the ambiguities coexisting in these selected chronicles between fiction and the telling of the actual fact, and to look into how their porous frontiers generate exchanges between various newspaper rubrics. Therefore, the hypothesis under investigation is that the study of the implications of the representation of slavery in the Machado de Assis's chronicles, and the analysis of the dialogues with the other newspaper rubrics can help explain the links of historicity and approximation of artistic and cultural processes in this medium
