Full textAbstract:
Combustion monitoring in internal combustion engine or burners is a difficult task due to the harsh environment for any sensor, therefore optical diagnostics are very attractive for these types of application. Chemiluminescence measurement is one of the most common and most promising ways of implementing optical diagnostics in combustion monitoring applications because the measured signal, emitted naturally with combustion, has potential to be an indirect measure of combustion relevant parameters, such as the equivalence ratio and heat release rate. In hydrocarbon combustion, the most common chemiluminescence emitters are OH*, CH*, C2* and CO2*. This thesis focuses on the measurement of OH* and CH* chemiluminescence, whose sensitivities are affected by temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio and stretch rate. To measure OH* and CH* chemiluminescence, an existing constant volume combustion vessel has been refurbished, along with the sub-systems for fuel delivery, ignition, LabView control, data acquisition, and optical detection using a pair of photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs), interference filters and a series of apertures. Modelling accurately the optical setup is essential for the CH* and OH* chemiluminescence measurements in the combustion bomb. To achieve this goal, a narrow field of view system has been selected as it enables the elimination of photons scattered from the internal surfaces. A calibration of the PMTs converts the measurements into the absolute OH* and CH* chemiluminescence in terms of watt. Measurements from a combustion bomb are versatile and accurate since it determines the OH* and CH* chemiluminescence as a function of temperature and pressure from a single experiment. The calculation of the normalised OH* and CH* chemiluminescence (against mass burned rate) was based on a multi-zone combustion model and measured pressure record from the vessel. NIICS (Normalised Intensity Integrated Calculation System) has been created to fetch data from the multi-zone model, the optical model, and experimental measurements, to match them up by interpolation and to normalise the OH* and CH* chemiluminescence. NIICS also allows the user to select data uncorrupted by the noise and heat transfer. The chosen data (in this case, CH*/OH* chemiluminescence ratio) have been fitted using a multi-variate fitting and correlation analysis. This formulation can be used to indicate the local equivalence ratio from premixed methane / air and iso-octane / air flames over the local pressure range 0.5 – 20 bar, the unburned gas temperature range 450 – 600 K, and equivalence ratio range 0.8 – 1.1. The chemical-kinetic mechanisms of the absolute OH* and CH* chemiluminescence have been investigated by studying the influence of the equivalence ratio, unburned gas temperature, and local pressure. It should be pointed out that two confounding observations occur, i.e. a discontinuity in the chemiluminescence along the isentropes, and chemiluminescence continuing after the end of combustion. This led to the further spectroscopic analysis. This study concluded with spectroscopic measurements using an Ocean Optics spectrometer and a Princeton ICCD spectrometer. It was found that the broadband CO2* is responsible for the two disconcerting observations. In addition, CH* chemiluminescence has been shown to be very faint from premixed laminar methane / air flames; hence the CH*/OH* formula in essence quantifies the CO2*/OH* ratio as a function of pressure, temperature, and equivalence ratio. The ‘CH* chemiluminescence’ can characterise the background CO2*, so as to provide a practical way to probe the feasibility of absolute OH* as an indicator of combustion relevant parameters in the future.

Dwyer, Adrian Stephen. "A risk worth taking? : analysing the adequacy of response to bomb threats." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2015. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/6784/.
Full textAbstract:
The subject of this study is that of bomb threat risk communication; a ‘sensitive’ topic because of its association with counter-terrorism policy. It is also a subject that has not generated extensive empirical research but is, nevertheless, affected by strongly-held and competing worldviews. The majority of bomb threats are identified, ultimately, as the work of ‘cranks’, ‘pranksters’ or ‘jokers’ (FBI, 2012; CPNI, 2010) but a smaller number have resulted in the adverse event that was threatened - although not always within the temporal or spatial parameters specified by the threat actor (MI5, 2005: 30). Risk management advice intended to inform a decision-making process is located in the collective views of subject matter experts and within this ‘orthodoxy’ the dominant view is that, under conditions of uncertainty, when “vital binary decisions need to be made” (Blackett Review, 2011), the ‘safest’ option is to assume the validity of the terrorist threat. Available evidence suggests that this position is disproportionate and risk averse; specifically, that the assessment of risk fails to take sufficient account of deliberate deception on the part of the threat actor or potential misinterpretation of the message communicated. Research presented here considers the extent to which the literature on the subject supports the orthodoxy. It identifies the risk management response as one founded on a principle of precaution and which has become symptomatic of a “wicked problem” (Rittel and Webber, 1973) - where some elements are addressed in great detail whilst others, integral to risk management decision-making, are circumvented or excluded. This research addresses the absence of published data concerning bomb threats as a tactic of terrorists and expands upon the findings of the very small number of studies concerned exclusively with ‘hoaxing’. It analyses a unique dataset collected by the author comprising of a total sample of 7595 threat events directed at Britain’s railway network and spanning almost a quarter of a century; and uses qualitative data from secondary sources to contextualise the incidents (hoax and real) located. The study also analyses a second sample drawn from 328 ‘newsworthy’ incidents: all of which were hoaxes. By considering hoax and valid threat events within the same study, the findings raise a substantial challenge to the tenets of the bomb threat orthodoxy; particularly the worldview within which to “brave the bomb threat” (HSE, 1992: 27) is characterised as a risk ‘not worth taking’.

Full textAbstract:
Current stoichiometric spark-ignited engine technologies require costly catalytic converters for reductions in tailpipe emissions. Load control is achieved by using a throttle, which is a leading contributor to reductions in efficiency. Spark-ignited lean burn natural gas engines have been
proven to be more efficient and emit fewer pollutants than their stoichiometric counterparts. Load reduction in these engines can be achieved by regulating the air/fuel ratio of the intake charge thereby reducing the efficiency penalties inherent to throttling.
Partially stratified charge (PSC) can provide further reductions in emissions and improvements in efficiency by extending the lean limit of operation. PSC is achieved by the ignition of a small quantity of natural gas in the vicinity of the spark plug. This creates an easily ignitable mixture at the spark plug electrodes, thereby providing a high energy ignition source for the ultra-lean bulk
charge.
Stratified charge engine operation using direct injection (DI) has been proposed as a method of bridging the throttleless load reduction gap between idle and ultra-lean conditions. A previous study was conducted to determine if PSC can provide a high-energy ignition source in a direct
injected stratified charge engine. Difficulties with igniting the PSC injections in an air-only bulk
charge were encountered.
This study focuses on a fundamental Schlieren image-based analysis of PSC combustion. Natural gas was injected through a modified spark plug located in an optically accessible combustion
bomb. The relationships between PSC injection timing, fuel supply pressure and spark timing were investigated. Spark timing is defined as the duration between commanded start of injection and the time of spark. As the fuel supply pressure was increased, the minimum spark timing that lead to successful combustion also increased. The largest spark timing window that led to successful combustion was determined to be 80 ms wide at an injection fuel supply pressure of
300 psi. The amount of unburned natural gas increased with increasing spark timing.
A cold flow study of the PSC injection system was also conducted. The PSC injection solenoid was found to have a consistent average injection delay of 1.95 ms. The slope of the linear response region of observed injection duration to commanded injection duration was 8.4. Due to
plenum effects, the average observed injection duration of the entire PSC system was an order of magnitude longer than the commanded injection duration and was found to vary significantly with fuel supply pressure.

MBA Professional ReportApproved for public release; distribution in unlimited.
This MBA project investigated and analyzed the cost effectiveness of implementing the Joint Standoff Weapon A+ (JSOW A+) variant versus the Small Diameter Bomb (SDB). The primary goal was to compare the "cost per kill" for each weapon system in its intended operational environment against an existing target set. The secondary goal was to determine most cost effective optimum mix of weapons that would destroy the given target set. The optimum mix was determined using either the SDB or the JSOW A+ in combination with the current family of JSOW weapons, and was calculated based upon each weapons' cost-effectiveness. A computer model generated the cost-effectiveness of each weapon system by dividing weapon cost by weapon effectiveness. During the process of answering our research questions we discovered different scenarios identifying JSOW A+ as comparatively more, and in several scenarios comparatively less cost-effective than the SDB. The scenarios and results are subject to the assumptions and limitations defined within this report. This project explores the different scenarios to provide the acquisition program manager with the relevant data to make informed decisions concerning the direction of their program.

This is especially true in light of the events surrounding North Korea and Syria’s nuclear program.

The aim of this essay is to investigate ways in which the narrative in Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent reflects the political views within and around the novel. The narrative focus of the essay is plot-structure and focalisation, and the political focus circles around anarchy and anarchism. The essay discusses how the anarchist’s belief in individual freedom and Conrad’s scepticism towards politics is reflected in the novel’s narration. I also discuss how the narrator uses irony to reflect Conrad’s scepticism.

Full textAbstract:
The demographics of the Kenyan public service are poised to change in unpredictable ways in the next few years, especially regarding diversity in the workplace. For a country with a bulging youth population whereby about 61% of the population is under the age of 24 years with those aged 14 years and below accounting for about 42% , it is worrying that the workforce components are neither inventoried nor planned for, especially in the public sector. This sector is also the largest employer as is the case in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study seeks to find out what it would take to improve the practice of a large public sector organisation, KNBS, using strategic workforce planning to tackle its workplace challenges. There is an attempt to mitigate the imminent and/or looming skills shortages in the light of the mass exit of the ‘baby boomer’ generation from the workplace on the one hand, and the government’s policies restricting the hiring of younger generation recruits, on the contrary. The study uses participatory action research to highlight the need for a strategic workforce plan (SWP) as a medium to long-term coping strategy. The study undertakes the first full cycle of the Participatory Action Research spirals involving participants within the workplace. These participants, drawn from various directorates and departments within KNBS, split into focus groups. An analysis of workplace demographics provides a baseline to enable the development of a sustainable SWP, one that could be ‘rolled out’ across the country’s public sector. While recognising that many change initiatives fail due to lack of involvement of key stakeholders, this study engages the whole spectrum of employees – not just as information sources, but also significant actors in the process of crafting a new 5-year SWP for KNBS.

Full textAbstract:
The Manchester Blitz was relatively short, lasting two nights in December 1940, when around 1,000 people were killed and more than 3,000 injured in the city centre, Salford and the residential areas near Old Trafford. This thesis focuses on the reaction to this heavy bombing by the local and regional newspapers of Manchester, which was Britain’s second press centre at the time. The newspapers, the Manchester Guardian, Manchester Evening News and Evening Chronicle, are studied over an eight-week period from mid December 1940. According to these editions, Mancunians were unbowed by the death and destruction wrought by the Luftwaffe and had a steely determination to win the war. Contemporary writing, including individual diaries and reports from Mass Observation and Home Intelligence, tells a more complicated and nuanced story. The thesis finds that the Manchester newspapers submitted their coverage to more self-imposed censorship than was being demanded even by a government desperate to maintain morale. They did so partly because they feared they would be closed down if they offended the censor, but also because they felt that patriotism had a greater priority than maintaining the news values of the time. The newspapers could have exposed local authority incompetence and shortcomings in the emergency services but chose instead to paint a rosy picture of defiance by omission, distortion and, in some cases, deceit. They did not do so independently, but in accordance with the reporting norms in Fleet Street and other British provincial cities during the Second World War. Circulations rose for both national and local newspapers during the war, but the cost was a further severing of the confidence people had in their press. When readers themselves became the story by being the victims of the Blitz they discovered there was often a gap between the truth and what appeared in print. It is a trust that has not been recovered to this day.

Advances in airpower and bombing capabilities have brought airpower to the forefront of military strategy. Four cases are examined to explain the historical uses and goals of strategic and morale bombing of enemy civilian populations: Germany, Japan, Vietnam and Iraq. This historical data is complemented by psychological theory that helps to predict the effectiveness of these bombing campaigns on the civilian will to resist. This paper argues that strategic and morale bombing on civilian populations does not decrease the enemy will to resist.

Full textAbstract:
his multiple study thesis considered the findings of research around the factors that influence individual and group propensity to violence in a socio‐political context and tested key variables to establish their relative contribution in driving this process. An initial pilot study, using a sample of 30 UK participants, recorded perceptions about violent behaviour and its causes using a 27 item parcel: five factor model including variables: environmental, belief systems, social identity, demographic, experience of violence (Wray, 2007), a 10 item measure of the big‐five personality inventory (Gosling, S.D; et al. 1992), an 8 item measure of authoritarian conformity (Couch A.S. and Bales, 1960) and a 7 item measure of aggression (Couch A.S. and Bales, 1960). The pilot identified key variables affecting propensity to violence from both existing literature and research and real life perceptions about violence. The findings identified three variables: group cohesion, transnational support for violence and conformity to authority. The main simulation study, based on 159 UK participants, then tested the impact of group cohesion and authoritarian conformity, plus an additional variable, moral disengagement, on the dependent variable, Propensity to violence (PTV). Participants were asked to consider how they might respond collectively in a hypothetical pressurised artificial politically violent scenario, measuring the degree of violence in their chosen options on a 7‐point scale. Statistical analysis supported the three main hypotheses showing that propensity to violence was shown to increase in groups with higher levels of cohesion in the presence of an authority figure and in response to visual and written stimulus. There was effect overtime for the all conditions with some variance between group types. In addition, Integrative Complexity scoring was applied to each group discourse confirming a positive correlation between differentiation, integration and propensity to violence. Specifically, that group discourse was seen to be least differential or lateral in authority groups irrespective of whether violence or non‐violence was encouraged. Overall the findings confirmed that in a simulated environment, propensity to violence in a UK sample was affected in the context of the variables tested. The resulting model helps to describe the relative and combined relationship between key components of the radicalisation process and the violence of terrorism that can result.

The consumerism of Western culture has allowed the prevailing suburban development pattern of the latter half of the twentieth century to evolve from a pedestrian-friendly canvas for the American Dream into an iconographic realization of commuting motorists decentralized from social interaction. Symbolizing solitude and privatization. this sprawling environment has become an epidemic deteriorating the social network in the United States: a condition that requires a remedy.With the popularization of traditional neighborhood development. a large majority of newly constructed communities find themselves located away from the realities of the modern bait environment. Like a bomb shelter. occupants have been allowed the opportunity to escape to a time before sprawl. consequently ignoring the problem. In order to address this condition. these issues can no longer go unaddressed they must be healed. This study depicts suburbia as an evolving network requiring a reinsertion of a mixed-functionality into its failed developments in order to reengage the occupant and revive suburbia's communal identity: in turn allowing the resolution to evolve from a bomb shelter to a Band-Aid.With research methods including qualitative assessments of numerous case studies. writings and diagrammatic theories regarding the social realm. interviews. and the consideration of numerous texts regarding interdisciplinary concerns as well as popular culture and sociological understandings. the study defines suburbia as a poachable territory — a construct that harvests opportunities for the occupant to reengage their context. By reversing the evolution from pedestrian to motorist. these interventions allow communities to embezzle the environment in an effort to establish a collective identity and reintroduce a social ream. Furthermore. these theories are then inserted in a generalizable residential development in Carmel. Indiana named Village Park Estates. By analyzing the potential found in these developments this epidemic can begin to be diagnosed allowing the author to establish a solution grounded in the routine of the everyday.Department of Architecture

Present thesis, related to the international relations field, assesses the relevance of the 9/11 attacks as a milestone in the history of the United States – as well as to George Bush's national security policy. Stemming from considerations over Beck's risk society and reflexive modernization, the fuzzy threat caused by international terrorism is perceived as a form of contemporary distress that seizes individual freedom in the name of a colective security. In order to understand the facts that followed 9/11 terrorist attacks, terror historical roots along the last decades of the 20th century must be reconstructed and Cold War convenient aliances must be revaluated.

L'arme a radiations renforcees, communement appelee bombe a neutrons, est a l'origine d'un inquietant paradoxe qui affecte au plus haut point la securite de l'europe. Il s'agit, en effet, d'une arme qui permettrait a l'alliance atlantique d'annuler la superiorite massive des forces conventionnelles du pacte de varsovie en europe, mais qui n'est toujours pas deployee par elle bien que sa technologie soit maitrisee depuis plus d'un quart de siecle. Les etats-unis et la republique federale d'allemagne en ont fait echouer le deploiement tandis que la france, qui n'exclut pas son acquisition en quantites limitees, ecarte categoriquement la mise sur pied d'une veritable defense neutronique reposant sur un nombre significatif de ces armes. Le rejet de l'arme a neutrons par ces trois etats est dans la droite ligne des politiques strategiques suivies par eux depuis plus de vingt cinq ans. Il s'inscrit dans la politique de denuclearisation de l'europe qui caracterise la strategie americaine depuis mille neuf cent soixante et temoigne de la volonte des responsables allemands de retarder et de limiter le plus possible l'utilisation des armes nucleaires sur leur territoire. Il illustre, enfin, la preoccupation de la france de refuser toute participation a une bataille en europe et de reserver l'essentiel de ses moyens militaires a une manoeuvre de dissuasion qui tend necessairement vers le neutralismeThe enhanced radiation weapon, more commonly known as the neutron bomb, is at the root of a disturbing paradox that is of the utmost importance for the security of europe. It is a weapon that would enable nato to cancel out the massive superiority of the conventional forces maintained in europe by the warsaw pact countries, but nato has still not deployed it, although its technology has been mastered for over a quarter of a century. The united states and west germany have prevented its deployment, while france, which does not rule out the possibility of acquiring it in limited quantities, categorically dismisses any idea of setting up a real neutron defence system based on a significant number of such weapons. Rejection of the neutron bomb by these three countries is completely in keeping with the strategic policies they have pursued for over twenty-five years. It is in line with the policy of creating a nuclear-free europe that has characterized american strategy since 1960 and is evidence of the german leaders' determination to delay and restrict as far as possible any use of nuclear weapons on their territory.

Full textAbstract:
In the event that a radiological dispersal device (RDD) is detonated in the U.S. or
near U.S. interests overseas, it will be crucial that the actors involved in the event can be
identified quickly. If irradiated nuclear fuel is used as the dispersion material for the
RDD, it will be beneficial for law enforcement officials to quickly identify where the
irradiated nuclear fuel originated. One signature which may lead to the identification of
the spent fuel origin is the isotopic composition of the RDD debris.
The objective of this research was to benchmark a forward model methodology
for predicting isotopic composition of spent nuclear fuel used in an RDD while at the
same time optimizing the fidelity of the model to reduce computational time. The code
used in this study was Monteburns-2.0. Monteburns is a Monte Carlo based neutronic
code utilizing both MCNP and ORIGEN. The size of the burnup step used in
Monteburns was tested and found to converge at a value of 3,000 MWd/MTU per step.
To ensure a conservative answer, 2,500 MWd/MTU per step was used for the
benchmarking process. The model fidelity ranged from the following: 2-dimensional pin
cell, multiple radial-region pin cell, modified pin cell, 2D assembly, and 3D assembly.
The results showed that while the multi-region pin cell gave the highest level of
accuracy, the difference in uncertainty between it and the 2D pin cell (0.07% for 235U)
did not warrant the additional computational time required. The computational time for
the multiple radial-region pin cell was 7 times that of the 2D pin cell. For this reason, the
2D pin cell was used to benchmark the isotopics with data from other reactors.
The reactors from which the methodology was benchmarked were Calvert Cliffs
Unit #1, Takahama Unit #3, and Trino Vercelles. Calvert Cliffs is a pressurized water
reactor (PWR) using Combustion Engineering 14??14 assemblies. Takahama is a PWR
using Mitsubishi Heavy Industries 17??17 assemblies. Trino Vercelles is a PWR using
non-standard lattice assemblies. The measured isotopic concentrations from all three of
the reactors showed good agreement with the calculated values.

A proposta deste trabalho é buscar refletir e compreender como são construídas as representações do horror, em especial de Hiroshima, enfocando o evento violento da bomba atômica a partir da narrativa de Nakazawa Keiji, Gen Pés Descalços, fazendo uma articulação com outras obras que também representam a catástrofe. Para tal, foi realizada uma discussão sobre a possibilidade da escrita da catástrofe e do horror, o discurso histórico e as representações, a questão da memória, história e escrita, das dimensões da construção de si pelo seu autor, as questões políticas e ideológicas que são parte do entorno das representações e, por fim, a questão da possibilidade da experiência com o real.The purpose of this paper is to reflect and understand how the representations about the horror are build, especially of Hiroshima, focusing on the violent event of the atomic bomb from the narrative of Nakazawa Keiji, Barefoot Gen, making links with other works that also represent catastrophe. To this end, a discussion was held about the possibility of writing and the horror of the catastrophe, the historical discourse and representations, the question of memory, history and writing, the dimensions of the building itself by its author, the political and ideological surroundings are part of the representations and, finally, the question of the possibility of the experience with the real.

Este trabalho procura analisar as políticas externa e nuclear da Índia, durante a gestão do Primeiro Ministro Jawaharlal Nehru, 1947-64. Durante esse período, Nehru assumiu uma política que visava a manter a Índia fora da bipolaridade típica do sistema internacional durante a Guerra Fria. Enquanto defendia a solução pacífica dos problemas internacionais, o fim do imperialismo, o fim das políticas raciais, a diminuição das desigualdades entre as nações e a eliminação das armas nucleares, Nehru conduziu uma política nuclear ambígua, ostensivamente pacífica. Sob o argumento de preservar a independência e romper com todos os resquícios do imperialismo, ele procurou manter aberta a opção para desenvolver um programa de armas nucleares. Minha hipótese é a de que Nehru tinha como objetivo estratégico garantir as condições para que no futuro o país alcançasse o status de Grande Potência. Neste sentido, busco confrontar as ações de sua política externa e nuclear com algumas das idéias e propostas para a Índia independente contidas em sua obra clássica - The Discovery of IndiaThe objective of this work is the focus on Indias foreign and nuclear policy during the period of government - 1947 to 1964 - when Jawaharlal Nehru was Prime Minister of that country. It was during this period that Nehru initiated policies forecasting Indias strategies and interests to forge a neutral position rather than the military pacts that characterized the Cold War period. Whilst defending the pacification of international conflict; the ending of imperialism and racialism; the decreasing of inequality between nations, and the elimination of all nuclear armaments, Nehru embarked on an ambiguous policy that was ostensibly peaceful, yet it disguised the preservation of independence the breaking of ties with imperialism while still sustaining the option to create a nuclear weapons programme. My premise is that Nehru devised strategic goals to guarantee conditions favourable to India and achieve an international profile as a formidable future power. I have also attempted to confront the actions and the depth of Nehrus nuclear policy combining his ideas and proposals for an independent India as detailed in the seminal publication The Discovery of India.

Ao longo das duas Guerras Mundiais, observou-se o rompimento da humanidade com as normas de conduta inauguradas pelo Iluminismo, legitimando a violência como algo intrínseco à sociedade moderna. Essa mudança de valores foi acompanhada pelo crescente investimento científico e tecnológico, que atingiu um elevado desenvolvimento durante o século XX e trouxe, como um de seus resultados, os maiores genocídios realizados pelos Estados autoritários em nome de seus interesses políticos e econômicos. A barbárie nos leva a considerar um elemento para a reflexão: as testemunhas. Essas corporificam a necessidade de um resgate da humanização, da retomada dos valores morais perdidos com a banalização da violência. Assim, o testemunho confronta a história e demonstra que o desenvolvimento tecnológico não é sinônimo de desenvolvimento humano. Pelo contrário, permitem questionar a verdadeira intenção das nações que, em busca de hegemonia, destroem maciçamente populações inteiras. Nesse contexto, emergem as seguintes questões: o que é o testemunho e qual a sua importância para a sociedade moderna? O que levou, historicamente, ao surgimento das testemunhas? Qual o contexto histórico que proporcionou o desenvolvimento da bomba atômica? Por que houve a necessidade, por parte das nações em guerra, de exterminarem milhares de pessoas, principalmente civis? Qual a consequência do rompimento das normas de civilidade pelas duas Guerras Mundiais? Para responder a essas perguntas, investigou-se o Museu Memorial da Paz de Hiroshima no que diz respeito a sua exposição permanente, seus objetivos no que se refere à luta contra o esquecimento da catástrofe atômica e à coleta de testemunhos. Após esse primeiro momento da pesquisa, procedeu-se ao estudo do contexto histórico que culminou nas atrocidades cometidas ao longo das duas Grandes Guerras, os resultados dos extermínios em massa para a sociedade moderna e, finalmente, o estudo sobre o trauma e o testemunho em relação aos sobreviventes do bombardeio atômico de HiroshimaThroughout the two World Wars, a disruption between humankind and the standards of conduct inaugurated by the Enlightenment was observed, legitimizing violence as something intrinsic to modern society. This change in values was followed by the increasing scientific and technological investment, which reached a high development during the twentieth century and brought, as one of its results, the greatest genocides carried out by the authoritarian States on behalf of their political and economic interests. The barbarism leads us to consider an element for reflection: the witnesses. They embody the need for redemption of humanization and the resumption of the moral values, both lost in the trivialization of violence. Thus, the testimony confronts history and shows that technological development is not a synonymous for human development. On the contrary, they allow us to question the true intent of the nations that, in their quest for domination, massively destroy entire populations. In this context, the following questions arise: what is the testimony and what is its importance to modern society? Historically, what had led to the appearance of witnesses? What is the historical context that provided the development of the atomic bomb? Why was there the need, by the nations at war, to exterminate thousands of people, mainly civilians? What is the consequence of breaking the rules of civility by the two World Wars? To answer these questions, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum was investigated regarding its permanent exhibition, its goals regarding the struggle against forgetting the atomic disaster and the gathering of testimonies. After this first stage of the research, it was proceeded the study of the historical context that culminated in the atrocities committed during the two Great Wars, the results for modern society of the mass exterminations and finally, the study of trauma and testimony regarding the survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bombing

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe advertising, as a discursive genre which allows the conditioning of men to a certain making, presents recurring features, putting participant subjects (advertiser and consumer) in interaction, it organizes its texts mostly through images, sounds and linguistic elements, among which are surrounded by determined meanings. Thus, it is possible to say the advertising text is formulated from verbal (written or spoken) and non-verbal (images, sounds, smells, textures) texts. Such feature allows it to be considered as a multi modal text (Kress e van Leeuwen, 1996:183), which combines different semiotic codes. As a good example of a multimodal text, the advertising campaign of Bom Bril, was selected as research corpus for this work. Based on the analysis of 57 printed ads it is aimed at to understand the dynamics of meaning production through multimodality, therefore contributing to the valorization of visual communication. It has a very important role regarding the verbal communication in the analyzed texts. Thus, the analysis of Bom Bril's advertising texts had as objective to test Kress and van Leeuwen (1996) grammar for visual design as a methodological tool in image studies as well as to investigate the relationship between verbal and non-verbal elements and the transitivity system (Halliday, 1994) that are built from these elements. For the analysis of visual texts, such grammar and its aspects regarding transitivity were initially applied to different advertisings conveniently chosen as samples of each of the processes described by Kress and van Leeuwen (1996), be either narratives or conceptuals. Later, those processes were identified in the Bom Bril campaigns, that presented a basic conceptual symbolic attributive structure, in which other narrative processes (transactional action, non-transactional action, transactional reaction and non- transactional reaction) and conceptual (classificational and analytic) are arranged. On the other hand, for the verbal texts analysis, were applied the models from Halliday (1994) in order to identify the participants, processes and circumstances. Even though there is the predominance of narrative processes (material, mental, verbal e behavioral) on Bom Bril's verbal texts, conceptual processes (relational attributive, relational identifying and existential) have also been identified. Thus, Bom Bril's advertising campaign was defined as a multimodal discursive genre type that combines narrative and transitivity conceptual structures, posing for the photo in a space similar to a TV news program and using in each campaign, voices and discourses of a new character to offer cleaning products.
A publicidade, como gênero discursivo, que possibilita o condicionamento do homem a um determinado fazer, apresenta características recorrentes, colocando sujeitos participantes (anunciante e consumidor) em interação, organiza seus textos principalmente através de imagens, sons e de elementos lingüísticos, entre os quais circulam sentidos determinados. Assim, podemos dizer que o texto publicitário é formulado a partir de textos verbais (escritos ou falados) e não-verbais (imagens, sons, cheiros, texturas). Tal característica permite que seja considerado como um texto multimodal (Kress e van Leeuwen, 1996:183), que combina diferentes códigos semióticos. Como um bom exemplo de texto multimodal, a campanha publicitária da Bom Bril, foi escolhida como corpus de pesquisa para o presente trabalho. A partir da análise de 57 anúncios impressos, pretende-se entender a dinâmica da produção de sentidos por meio da multimodalidade, contribuindo, assim, para a valorização da comunicação visual, que desempenha um papel tão importante quanto à comunicação verbal, nos textos analisados. Assim, a análise dos textos publicitários de Bom Bril foi feita com o objetivo principal de testar a gramática do design visual de Kress e van Leeuwen (1996) como ferramenta metodológica em estudos da imagem, investigando a relação entre os elementos verbais e não-verbais e as estruturas de transitividade (Halliday, 1994) que se configuram a partir desses elementos. Para análise dos textos visuais, tal gramática e seus aspectos relativos à transitividade foram aplicados inicialmente a outros anúncios publicitários, escolhidos, por conveniência, como exemplares de cada um dos processos, tanto narrativos quanto conceituais, descritos por Kress e van Leeuwen (1996). Posteriormente, esses processos foram identificados nos anúncios de Bom Bril, que apresentou uma estrutura básica conceitual simbólica atributiva, na qual outros processos narrativos (ação transacional, ação não-transacional, reação transacional e reação nãotransacional) e conceituais (classificacionais e analíticos) estão arranjados. Já para análise dos textos verbais, foram utilizados os modelos de Halliday (1994) para identificação dos participantes, processos e circunstâncias. Apesar de existir um predomínio dos processos narrativos (materiais, mentais, verbais e comportamentais) nos textos verbais de Bom Bril, também foram identificados processos conceituais (relacionais atributivos, relacionais identificadores e existenciais). Assim, a campanha publicitária de Bom Bril foi definida como um gênero discursivo multimodal, que combina estruturas narrativas e conceituais de transitividade, posando para uma fotografia em um espaço semelhante ao de um telejornal e utilizando, a cada anúncio, vozes e discursos de um novo personagem para oferecer produtos de limpeza.

The aim of this paper is to make an analysis of international treaties and laws, foreign and internal, that deal about the definition and the legal framework of the crime of torture. It focuses on the use of this method on critical cases in order to obtain information, as exemplified by the ticking-bomb scenario, in which some states believe the use of torture is justified, through coercive advanced interrogation and the so-called " light torture " in order to save the lives of victims. It analyzes the balance between the lives of potential victims and respect for the dignity of the suspect, establishing the concept of human dignity more in tune with the absolute prohibition of torture, regardless of the configuration of the exceptional cases. It faces the possibility of forming the state of justifying necessity in case of application of torture in exceptional situations. It performs a retrospective of the use of torture at various times in history, especially in periods of political and social instability, as in military dictatorships, civil wars and the current era of terrorism. Finally, it concludes that is impossible to relativize the use of torture, even in the ticking-bomb scenario, due to the difficulty in aggregating all the necessary requirements for that case, and the need to honor the Convention's provisions Against Torture and Human Dignity, which do not foresee any possibility of exception.
O objeto deste trabalho é efetuar uma análise dos tratados internacionais e legislações estrangeiras e internas, que versem acerca da definição e do enquadramento jurídico do crime de tortura. Debruça-se sobre a utilização desse método com o fim de obter informações em casos críticos, como o exemplificado pelo cenário da bomba-relógio, no qual alguns Estados justificam o recurso à tortura, por meio dos interrogatórios avançados coercitivos e da denominada “tortura light”, a fim de salvar a vida das vítimas. Analisa a ponderação entre a vida das possíveis vítimas e o respeito à dignidade do suspeito, estabelecendo-se o conceito de dignidade da pessoa humana mais afinado com a proibição absoluta da tortura, independentemente da configuração dos casos excepcionais. Enfrenta a possibilidade de conformar o estado de necessidade justificante no caso da aplicação da tortura nas situações de exceção. Realiza a retrospectiva do uso da tortura em diversos momentos da história e, em especial, nos períodos de instabilidade política e social, como nos regimes militares, guerras civis e na atual era do terrorismo. Por fim, conclui-se pela impossibilidade de relativização da tortura, ainda que configurado o cenário da bomba-relógio, em decorrência da dificuldade em se agregar todos os requisitos necessários ao seu enquadramento, além da necessidade de atender aos preceitos da Convenção contra a Tortura e da Dignidade da Pessoa Humana, a qual não prevê nenhuma hipótese de exceção.

Previous issue date: 2015-09-21This theoretical and bibliographical research aims to describe the Cult of Òrúnmìlà- Ifa, which originated from West Africa, especially from Nigeria, Benin and surrounding countries, also being practiced in Brazil. Therefore, we sought to understand the yoruba culture, a little of its history and characteristics. For understanding the Òrúnmìlà-Ifa philosophy is critical to apply the interpretive analysis of the Yoruba´s worldview. The worldview of this people is based on a hierarchically structured system from a Supreme Being, called Olodumare, arch-deities, ancestors, natural phenomena and Orisa. It´s holy city, Ilé-Ife, is considered by the Yoruba as the origin of mankind. The Yorubas perform various ceremonies and rites of passage to iniciate people in Òrúnmìlà-Ifa, one arch-divinity, a spirit, an adviser of Olodumare, with transit between heaven and earth, responsible for organizing and ordering the world´s pathaways of the good and peace, creating then a cult with his name. It is noteworthy the ancestry cult, being the ancestor a person or entity revered for his-hers virtues and ethical and moral teachings. The Yoruba respect and obey the elders, whose values are orally passed from generation to generation, forming an model of principles meant to shape the formation of good character (Ìwàpèlè), peace, peaceful coexistence and respect for others, animals and nature. With the Africans diaspora, the Cult of Òrúnmìlà-Ifa (and others) had been spread to several countries, including Brazil. The Cult of Òrúnmìlà-Ifa has its own philosophy that leads people to form self-awareness and driving the social and religious life of the community.
Esta pesquisa de cunho teórico-bibliográfico tem por objetivo descrever o Culto de Òrúnmìlà-Ifá, que é originário da África Ocidental, especialmente da Nigéria, Benin e países circunvizinhos, sendo também praticado no Brasil. Para tanto, buscou-se entender a cultura yorubana, um pouco da sua história e características. Para a compreensão da Filosofia de Òrúnmìlà-Ifá é fundamental a análise interpretativa da cosmovisão dos Yorùba. A cosmogonia desse povo constitui-se de um sistema estruturado hierarquicamente a partir de um Ser Supremo, denominado Òlódùmarè, arqui-divindades, ancestrais, fenômenos da natureza e orisá. A sua cidade sagrada, Ilé-Ifé, é considerada pelos Yorùba como a origem da humanidade. Eles realizam cerimônias diversas e ritos de passagem para formarem iniciados em Òrúnmìlà-Ifá, uma arqui-divindade, um espírito, um conselheiro de Òlódùmarè, com trânsito entre o céu e a terra, encarregado de organizar e ordenar o mundo nos caminhos do bem e da paz, criando-se então um culto com o seu nome. Destaca-se nessa cultura a ancestralidade, sendo o ancestral uma pessoa ou entidade reverenciada por suas virtudes e ensinamentos éticos e morais. Os Yorùba respeitam e obedecem aos anciães, cujos valores são passados, oralmente, de geração em geração, formando um ideário de princípios voltados para a formação do bom caráter (Ìwàpèlè), da paz, da convivência harmoniosa e de respeito ao outro, aos animais e à natureza. Com a diáspora dos africanos, o Culto de Òrúnmìlà-Ifá (e outros) foi difundido por diversos países, inclusive o Brasil. O Culto de Òrúnmìlà-Ifá apresenta uma filosofia própria, que leva as pessoas a formarem a consciência de si e que dirige a vida social e religiosa da comunidade.

It has as reference propositions on the maternal school and the personal maturity theory developed by the English psychoanalyst and pediatrician Donald Woods Winnicott. He indicates that the maternal school has tasks in relation to emotional maturity, same as the mother. And must hold a job psicoprofilatic, contributing to the children s mental health, needed to achieve the individual status and allow his access to Culture. We note that the use of psychoanalysis in education, proposed by the author, allows us to go beyond "listens" psychotherapy, performing an intervention through the management of school issues, moving toward integration: the self, of the variety of children s environments and the individual relations with society. Having two pedagogical approaches underlying the schools as base, the constructive one and the non-constructive, been discussed if school of early childhood education can be in a "good enough" environment according to the theory of ripening and we suggest that some conditions need to be created regarding moving towards this direction
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a escola de educação infantil como um possível ambiente suficientemente bom , criador de condições favoráveis ao processo de amadurecimento pessoal da criança e conseqüentemente à aprendizagem. Ela tem como referência as proposições sobre a escola maternal e a teoria do amadurecimento pessoal desenvolvidas pelo psicanalista e pediatra inglês Donald Woods Winnicott. Ele sinaliza que a escola maternal tem tarefas em relação ao amadurecimento emocional da mesma forma que a mãe tem e que deve realizar um trabalho psicoprofilático, contribuindo para a saúde mental da criança, necessária para alcançar o estatuto de indivíduo e permitir-lhe o acesso à cultura. Verificamos que o uso da psicanálise no campo da educação, proposto pelo autor, permite ir além da escuta psicanalítica, realizando uma intervenção por meio do manejo das questões escolares, caminhando na direção da integração: do self, dos vários ambientes da criança e do indivíduo com a sociedade. Partindo de duas abordagens pedagógicas que fundamentam as escolas, a construtivista e a não-construtivista, discutiu-se até que ponto a escola de educação infantil pode se constituir em um ambiente suficientemente bom de acordo com a teoria do amadurecimento e sugerimos que algumas condições fossem criadas para se caminhar nesta direção

Previous issue date: 2007Em 25 de julho de 1966, uma bomba explodiu no Aeroporto dos Guararapes, em Recife. Os jornais pernambucanos em circulação naquela época Jornal do Commercio e Diário de Pernambuco cobriram o evento com perplexidade e raiva teoricamente incomuns na construção da notícia. A passagem ficaria conhecida como O Atentado da bomba do Aeroporto . Quase dois anos e meio depois, em dezembro de 1968, dois jovens engenheiros foram apresentados pela polícia como responsáveis pelo planejamento e execução daquele atentado. Os jornais consolidaram a versão policial como uma verdade erguida sobre uma sociedade já violentada pelo regime militar , que edificou um perfil público perturbador para os dois acusados. Este trabalho propõe a leitura dos conceitos de verdade, acontecimento e fato a partir do caso apresentado acima. A imprensa escrita, corpo observado nesta pesquisa, tem a capacidade de articular realidades sociais, edificando, portanto, verdades e o que deve ou não se tornar fato. Entre o acontecimento e a reprodução da informação a elaboração da notícia , existe a construção de novas realidades e, portanto, de novas verdades sobre um fato. A pergunta que norteia o problema científico instituído por essas observações é a seguinte: De que maneira o discurso midiático é capaz de edificar interpretações de uma realidade a ponto de mudar a noção de verdade sobre um fato? Para respondê-la, dividimos este trabalho em três capítulos. Em um primeiro estágio, discutimos o tema da construção da verdade, do fato e do acontecimento. No segundo capítulo, debatemos o atentado ancorado em uma memória construída socialmente. Na terceira, e última, parte, o tempo é o conceito utilizado para observar as mutações e permanências do atentado, sua duração. Por fim, nas considerações finais, observamos as categorias de vida de um atentado ecoado por um ambiente midiático, uma bomba noológica

Full textAbstract:
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e TecnológicoThe present study discusses the union among relations based on the philosophical proposals of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) focusing on some of his practical philosophy such as Morality, Religion and Education. The aim into attempting to rebuild the course of Kant practical philosophy is to present the development process and the contribution of pedagogy in the process of moral formation. The objective is to present in an articulated manner, the idea of progress and improvements on human conduct along with the project on the metaphysics of moral and its ending of uniting all men of good will, in other words, in an ethical community way. First, the moral law is presented as a necessary condition for a good conduct in oneself, straying from any sensible representation in which it pretends to serve as a reference to every virtuous conduct. The explanation being held in this study is only about the possibility of a purely moral conduct, and only if the reference for the formulation of a good character is based on the rational law. However, the requisite for a good moral character is only valid if in accordance with practical reason law. Concerning the union of men, the consequence of this match is the origin of evil just as the union of some equal virtuous interest is capable of overcoming bad actions due to ideas of an ethic community. Finally, in the third chapter, the research strategy does not apply only to Pedagogy but also to other several masterworks, aiming to systematize the proposal of a moral education, seen by Kant, as essential and indispensable on the formation of a virtuous individual member of a certain ethic community.
O presente trabalho aborda o enlace e as relações da proposta de Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) no que tange a alguns temas de sua filosofia prática, a saber, Moralidade, Religião e Educação. Esta tentativa de reconstruir o percurso destes conceitos da filosofia prática kantiana tem por intenção apresentar o processo de desenvolvimento e a contribuição da pedagogia no processo da formação moral. O objetivo é apresentar, de forma articulada, a ideia de progresso e aperfeiçoamento da conduta humana, condizente com o projeto da metafísica da moral e seu desfecho na união de todos os homens de boa ação, ou seja, na forma de uma comunidade ética. Inicialmente apresenta-se a lei moral como condição necessária para uma boa conduta em si, afastando-se de qualquer representação sensível que pretenda ser referência para toda conduta virtuosa. O que se busca explanar aqui é apenas a possibilidade de uma conduta puramente moral, desde que a referência para a formulação da boa conduta esteja ancorada na lei racional. Contudo, o requisito para uma conduta moralmente boa é sua validação a partir da lei pura da razão. Kant atribui a origem do mal ao encontro dos homens. De forma que nosso autor acredita que a solução para o mal está justamente na unificação de um mesmo interesse virtuoso, único capaz de superar ações más por conta da ideia de uma comunidade ética. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, a estratégia de pesquisa não se restringe apenas a obra Pedagogia, mas a várias obras, procurando sistematizar a proposta de uma educação moral, vista, por Kant, como essencial e indispensável na formação de um sujeito virtuoso, membro de uma esperada comunidade ética.

Resumo: Este estudo se propôs a desvendar, quem é hoje o BOM PROFESSOR numa perspectiva metodológica que elucidasse o contexto histórico-social em que esta percepção é construída. Partindo da manifestação de alunos do 2Q e 3Q Graus foi feita a localização dos sujeitos que, posteriormente, foram estudados por mim, a partir pressupostos da pesquisa etnográfica. Para tanto, como tarefa inicial, foi necessário realizar um levantamento bibliográfico sobre como e porque o professor tem sido estudado, assim como sobre quais os pontos basilares que tem . orientado a construção do conhecimento sobre o professor, sua formação e desempenho. Numa segunda etapa, através de entrevistas e observações de aulas, tentei captar o cotidiano do BOM PROFESSOR assim como da projeção que ele faz das principais influencias sobre o seu desempenho. A Análise do Discurso foi a técnica utilizada para interpretação dos dados colhidos através da verbalização que os professores fizeram. De acordo com os pressupostos de pesquisa etnográfica, não havia categorias prévias de análise dos dados. Estes foram interpretados a partir do retrato do cotidiano. Eles é que forneceram subsídios e encaminharam a organização de agrupamentos que resultaram em categorias. Para caracterizar o BOM PROFESSOR foi feito um adentramento em sua história de vida, verificando as principais influências sobre o seu desempenho. Também foi feita a tentativa de captar os seus valores, posições sobre a realidade e formas de enfrentamento deste cotidiano. Os resultados do estudo mostraram que a idéia de BOM PROFESSOR, por ser valorativa, é uma construção histórica que é presente na expectativa dos alunos através de valores que institucionalmente são passados em nossa sociedade. Para os nossos alunos o BOM PROFESSOR é uma pessoa especial, principalmente porque demonstra prazer em estar com eles e entusiasmo em ensinar. f ainda sério no trato de sua matéria de ensino e ligado afetivamente ao seu campo de saber. O estudo mostrou ainda que o BOM PROFESSOR é alguém que procura desenvolver em si condições para ensinar e possui boas habilidades de ensino. Compreendi, porém, que a ideação e a prática do professor considerado BOM pelos alunos de hoje,ainda está baseada num paradigma de ensino que coloca o docente como figura principal do ato pedagógico. Para um desempenho que privilegie o aluno como principal interlocutor no processo de aprendizagem, será preciso modificar o paradigma de ensino que _ aceito e desejado na sociedade atual. Este aspecto tem a ver com a concepção filosófica da educação que se 'deseja numa sociedade politicamente projetada

Full textAbstract:
A Alemanha iniciou o século XX com uma posição influente na comunidade científica mundial, o que é evidenciado na quantidade de Prêmios Nobel e nas descobertas realizadas no país, por alemães e estrangeiros que fizeram carreira por lá. Esse estado de coisas poderia ter mudado após o final da Primeira Guerra Mundial, quando a fragilidade da Alemanha era evidente, agravada pelas duras condições impostas pelos Aliados. Porém, o período conhecido como República de Weimar conheceu uma grande produção em vários campos, com destaque para a Física, que continuou a sua trajetória ascendente. A ascensão dos Nacional-Socialistas, em 1933, foi responsável por uma grande involução do papel alemão no cenário científico mundial desde o primeiro ano de seu governo, por meio de demissões, perseguições e outros atos. O início da Segunda Guerra Mundial magnificou esse estado de coisas. Em meio a tudo isso, é iniciado um Projeto Atômico, com o objetivo de construir uma arma de destruição em massa de alcance quase inimaginável. O Projeto não desenvolve tal arma a tempo de ser utilizada durante a guerra, mas a Alemanha desenvolve uma tradição sólida nas áreas da ciência e tecnologia nuclear.Germany started the 21st century at a privileged status in the world science community, what is proven in the amount of Nobel Prizes and discoveries carried out in the country, by Germans and foreigners who pursued their careers there. Such state of things could have changed after the end of World War I, when Germany´s weakness was evident, increased by the harsh conditions imposed by the Allies. Nevertheless, the period known as Weimar´s Republic faced a great production in various fields, including Physics, which kept its ascending trajectory. The National-Socialists seizure of power, in 1933, was responsible for a major involution of the German status in the world science scenario from the first year of their government, by means of dismissals, harassment and other actions. The start of World War II magnified this situation. Amidst all that, an Atomic Project began, aimed at building a mass destruction weapon of an almost unthinkable reach. The Project does not develop the weapon in time to be used during the war, but Germany develops a solid tradition in the fields of Nuclear Science and Technology.

The object of this work are the benditos sung by the pilgrims during the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus da Lapa BA, studied and analyzed through a ritual perspective. These popular songs of oral tradition sung in novenas, rosaries and religious processions are one of the earliest manifestations of popular Catholicism that still remain in some communities, mainly inland and rural of northeastern Brazil. We hypothesized that by studying and analyzing the benditos sung by the pilgrims in Bom Jesus da Lapa is possible to systematize the pilgrimage, recognizing all stages of this itinerary, identify the myths of the Sanctuary origin and compose a sort of "ordinary pilgrimage", with their own songs and benditos that, when sung, contributes to the update of this religious tradition and confirms their specificity. By studying the musical repertoire cultivated by pilgrims, we are also in search of the spirit of pilgrimage. Initially we contextualize the sertão, the background for the entire pilgrimage, and describe the profile of the pilgrim and their intentions on the pilgrimage, as well as present the rites and departure s benditos. Then we talk about the origin of the Sanctuary, its founding myths and myths of origin of the pilgrimage itself, and also we report the rites and benditos themselves of the outward journey. After, we describe the rites of arrival at the Sanctuary, the relationship of closeness and intimacy that is established between the pilgrim and the saint, and speak of rites and the permanency benditos. To finish the work, we look after the rites of farewell, with their own benditos, we broach the theme of remembrance and the cyclicity of the pilgrimage, and the benditos sung by pilgrims on the journey back, thus completing the entire cycle of pilgrimage. In this study, we conclude that the pilgrims of Bom Jesus da Lapa do not just sing at the pilgrimage, but instead sing "the" pilgrimage itself, with its own ordinary; and while singing the pilgrimage, the pilgrims sing themselves. It was also possible to see that, indeed, the benditos are an integrant part of pilgrimage and prerequisite for its effective fulfillment
O objeto deste trabalho são os benditos entoados pelos romeiros durante a romaria ao Santuário do Bom Jesus da Lapa BA, estudados e analisados através de uma perspectiva ritual. Estes cantos populares da tradição oral cantados em novenas, terços e procissões representam uma das mais antigas manifestações do catolicismo popular que ainda se conservam em algumas comunidades, principalmente interioranas e rurais, do nordeste brasileiro. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de que por meio do estudo e da análise dos benditos cantados pelos romeiros do Senhor Bom Jesus da Lapa é possível sistematizar a romaria, reconhecendo todas as etapas deste itinerário, identificar os mitos de origem do Santuário e compor uma espécie de ordinário da romaria , com seus cantos e benditos próprios que, ao serem cantados, contribuem para a atualização desta tradição religiosa e para confirmar suas especificidades. Ao estudar o repertório musical cultivado pelos peregrinos, também estamos em busca do espírito da romaria. Inicialmente contextualizamos o sertão, pano de fundo para toda a romaria, e descrevemos o perfil do peregrino e suas intenções ao peregrinar, bem como apresentamos os ritos e benditos de saída. Em seguida, falamos da origem do Santuário, dos seus mitos de fundação e dos mitos de origem da própria romaria, além de relatarmos os ritos e benditos próprios da viagem de ida. Depois descrevemos os ritos de chegada ao Santuário, a relação de proximidade e intimidade que se estabelece entre o romeiro e o santo, além de falar dos ritos e benditos de permanência. Para finalizar o trabalho, tratamos dos ritos de despedida, com seus benditos próprios, abordamos o tema da saudade e da ciclicidade da romaria, além dos benditos cantados pelos romeiros na viagem de volta, completando, assim, todo o ciclo da peregrinação. Com o presente trabalho, concluímos que os romeiros e peregrinos do Bom Jesus da Lapa não cantam simplesmente na romaria, mas, ao contrário, cantam a própria romaria, com seu ordinário próprio; e ao cantar a romaria, os romeiros cantam a si mesmos. Também foi possível perceber que, de fato, os benditos são parte integrante da romaria e condição sine qua non para sua efetiva realização

This research has as a central issue to comprehend the meaning applied by Maquiavelli to the virtù s term. The challenge of this work is to uncover the true cause of the success of political attitudes, in other words, to reveal as a concept virtù relates to the behaviour of men who lead the politics, a behaviour that its qualities determine the positive or negative results of the politic actions to whom governs it, regardless of their personal or religious virtues. Finding results and extracting lessons, knowledge and examples to be followed, Maquiavelli offers perspectives to the ways of acting in the political scenery. Virtù constitutes and becomes effective only with the fortune participation, that is why the objective of our exposition will be to analyze the relashion between determination and indetermination that exists between this two polos that dominate the art of governing.
Esta pesquisa tem como questão central compreender o significado aplicado por Maquiavel ao termo virtù. O desafio deste trabalho é o de desvendar a causa verdadeira do sucesso das atitudes políticas, ou seja, de revelar como o conceito virtù diz respeito ao comportamento dos homens que lideram o corpo político, comportamento cujas qualidades determinam os resultados positivos ou negativos da ação política de quem governa, independentemente de suas virtudes pessoais ou religiosas. Encontrando resultados e extraindo lições, ensinamentos e exemplos a serem seguidos, Maquiavel oferece perspectivas para os modos de agir no cenário político. A virtù se constitui e se torna efetiva somente com a participação da fortuna, por isso o objetivo de nossa exposição será o de analisar a relação entre determinação e indeterminação existente entre esses dois polos que dominam a arte de governar.

Previous issue date: 2007-11-05Hospitality is the art of welcoming someone and it is structured in the relationship established between a host and a guest, where the concern for a person is authentic, and that makes possible a relationship based in human values among people. Brazil has a cultural background that fosters hospitality, actually Brazilians are cordial and hospitable by nature. Hospitality, practiced at the hotels in the country, gives support to the development of national tourism, helping to increase foreign tourist flow, and even domestic tourist flow. In this context, this work tries to verify if hospitality really represents an aspect for improving relationships between a hotel and its guests, considering for this purpose three cases: Meliá Comfort WTC Brooklin, and Formule 1 Jardins hotels, located in the city of São Paulo city, and Saint Paul Residence hotel, located in Bauru city, a small city in São Paulo state. The research consists of a theoretical exploratory phase and a qualitative empiric. First hospitality, hotel education and relationship marketing concepts, are developed; and then the case studies are presented. The method chosen for collecting the data from the hotels was a personal semi-structured interview, with managers from the three hotels. From the interviews it was possible to observe that these focus mostly one or more aspects related to the economical, social and human side. Meliá Comfort hotel, stresses more quality of services for building up the relationship with its high class guests, while Saint Paul and Formule 1 Jardins hotels have the hospitality more closely connected to for building up an sustaining good relationships with guests
A hospitalidade é a arte de bem receber a alguém, e está baseada na relação estabelecida entre um anfitrião e um hóspede, na qual a preocupação com o próximo é autêntica, o que possibilita um relacionamento amistoso baseado em valores humanos entre as pessoas. O Brasil possui uma estrutura cultural que favorece a hospitalidade, pois o brasileiro é cordial e hospitaleiro por natureza. A hospitalidade, praticada nos hotéis do país, funciona como um auxílio no desenvolvimento do turismo nacional, favorecendo ao aumento no fluxo de turistas estrangeiros, e até mesmo no fluxo de turistas domésticos. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo verificar se a hospitalidade representa um fator de criação de bom relacionamentos entre um hotel e seus hóspedes, por meio da observação de três hotéis: Meliá Comfort WTC Brooklin, e Formule 1 Jardins, situados na cidade de São Paulo, e do hotel Saint Paul Residence, localizado no município de Bauru, no estado de São Paulo. A pesquisa apresenta dois momentos: a fase exploratória e a fase empírica qualitativa, em que, na primeira, desenvolve-se a parte teórica que embasou os conceitos de hospitalidade, hotelaria e marketing de relacionamento; e na segunda, realiza-se um estudo de casos, em que se observam todos os elementos estruturais que envolvem os hotéis estudados. O método escolhido para a coleta de dados da pesquisa qualitativa foi o da entrevista semi-estruturada, aplicada às administradoras dos três hotéis. A partir dos resultados da pesquisa, foi possível perceber que os hotéis pesquisados priorizam um ou mais aspectos relacionados ao lado econômico, social e humano. O hotel Meliá Comfort, visa mais a qualidade nos serviços na construção dos relacionamentos com seu hóspede, enquanto que os hotéis Saint Paul e Formule 1 Jardins têm a hospitalidade como fator decisivo na construção e manutenção de um bom relacionamento com o hóspede

A presente investigação aplica o referencial teórico e o paradigma metodológico de priming, junto ao comportamento prosocial, no intuito de estudar e potencializar o comportamento de civilidade. Assim sendo, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o fenômeno da civilidade no contexto do trânsito. Foram elaborados dois delineamentos quasi-experimentais. O primeiro consistiu na exposição de uma música com conteúdo de civilidade e o segundo realizado por meio da apresentação de um instrumento contendo uma Tarefa de Desembaralhamento de Sentenças e uma história em quadrinhos. A amostra consistiu em 267 usuários de uma linha de ônibus de vizinhança. Os resultados endossam a vasta literatura que aponta para a influência negativa da densidade no comportamento humano. Discutiram-se as contribuições do estudo para o entendimento da civilidade no contexto do trânsito, bem como as aplicações do paradigma de priming e da pesquisa experimental de campo. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This research applies the theoretical and methodological paradigm of priming, to prosocial behavior, in order to study civility and improve it. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate the phenomenon of civility in the context of traffic. Two quasiexperimental designs were prepared. The first was the exhibition of a music lyric content of civility and the second held by the presentation of an instrument with a task of unscrambling sentences and a comic strip. The sample consisted of 267 users, which were surveyed in a neighborhood bus line. Results endorsed the vast literature that points to the negative influence of density on human behavior. The study's contributions to the understanding of civility in the context of traffic, applications of the priming paradigm and experimental research field were discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Modelling and Simulation (M&S) is a multi-disciplinary field that is widely used in various domains. It provides a means to study complex systems before actual physical prototyping and helps lowering, amongst others, manufacturing and training costs. However, as M&S gains more popularity, the demand on reducing time and resource costs associated with development and validation of simulation models has also increased. Composing simulation models of reusable and validated simulation components is one approach for addressing the above demand. This approach, which is still an open research issue in M&S, requires a composition process that is able to support a modeller with discovery and identification of components as well as giving feedback on feasibility of a composition. Combining components in order to build new simulations raise the non-trivial issue of composability. Composability has been defined as the capability to select and assemble reusable simulation components in various combinations into simulation systems to meet user requirements. There are three main types of composability, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic. Syntactic composability is concerned with the compatibility of implementation details, such as parameter passing mechanisms, external data accesses, and timing mechanisms. It is the question of whether a set of components can be combined. Semantic composability, on the other hand, is concerned with the validity of the composition, and whether the composed simulation is meaningful. Pragmatic composability is yet another type which is concerned with the context of the simulation, and whether the composed simulation meets the intended purpose of the modeller. Of these three types syntactic composability is easiest to accomplish and some significant progresses on this issue have been reported in the literature. Semantic and pragmatic composability are much harder to achieve and has inspired many researchers to conduct both theoretical and experimental research. The Base Object Model (BOM) is a new concept identified within M&S community as a potential facilitator for providing reusable model components for the rapid construction and modification of simulations. Although BOMs exhibit good capabilities for reuse and composability they lack the required semantic information for semantic matching and composition. There is little support for defining concepts and terms in order to avoid ambiguity, and there is no method for matching behaviour of conceptual models (i.e., state machines of the components), which is required for reasoning about the validity of BOM compositions. In this work we have developed a framework for component-based model development that supports both syntactic and semantic composability of simulation models by extending the BOM concept using ontologies, Semantic Web and Web Services technologies, and developing a rule-based method for reasoning about BOM compositions. The issue of pragmatic composability has not been the focus of this work, and it has only been partly addressed. The framework utilises intelligent agents to perform discovery and composition of components, according to the modeller needs. It includes a collaborative environment, a semantic distributed repository and an execution environment to support model development and execution process. The basic assumption of this work is that semantic composability should be achieved at conceptual level. Through precise definition and specification of components’ semantic and syntax one can capture the basic requirements for matching and semantically meaningful composition of those components. This requires a common methodology for specification of simulation components. The specification methodology consists of meta-models describing simulation components at different levels. In order to enable automatic matching of meta-models they are formalized and structured using Semantic Web technology in OWL (Web Ontology Language). Hence, the models are based on ontologies to avoid misunderstanding and to provide unambiguous definitions as a basis for reasoning about syntactic and semantic validity of compositions.QC 20100830

No cenário contemporâneo a economia e a cultura são abordadas como questões fundamentais para as políticas de desenvolvimento, tendo em vista o reconhecimento das agências dedicadas a ele e que a cultura o favorece, cria emprego e promove a coesão social, tornou-se imperativo promover o empoderamento das atividades culturais. Nessa perspectiva, a economia criativa e suas categorias passaram a ser tomadas como estratégias para a formulação e implementação de políticas, focando, principalmente, na promoção e distribuição das manifestações culturais para propiciar o crescimento econômico. Como marco das iniciativas da economia criativa brasileira, está a proposta metodológica para identificação de polos criativos e a instituição do programa de incentivo. Em 2011, a Bomba do Hemetério se tornou polo criativo, na condição de um território expandido que agrega uma diversidade de agremiações carnavalescas, algumas delas consideradas de fundamental importância para o Carnaval de Pernambuco. Pode-se dizer que o cenário cultural local tornou possível o seu reconhecimento como polo criativo. A comunidade recebeu uma iniciativa de desenvolvimento local realizada a partir da articulação do poder público e de instituições não governamentais. Com base nisto, esta pesquisa se dedicou à análise da cultura carnavalesca da Bomba do Hemetério afim de desvelar os discursos que caracterizam essa cultura como recurso de desenvolvimento local. Utilizamos como lente teórica a teoria do Pósdesenvolvimento e, por meio da interpretação do arquivo inspirada na Análise de Discurso Foucaultina, foram reveladas três formações discursivas: uma sobre a cultura local e suas tradições, outra evidencia a cultura local como fonte de sobrevivência e outra aponta para a política de economia criativa.
In the contemporary scenario the economy and culture are addressed as key issues for development policies, considering the recognition of dedicated agencies and a culture that favors it, creates jobs and promotes social cohesion, it has become imperative to promote the empowerment of cultural activities. From this perspective, the creative economy and its categories came to be taken as strategies for the formulation and implementation of policies, focusing mainly on promotion and distribution of cultural events as economic growth factors. The methodological proposal for identifying creative centers and the institution of the incentive program is a starting point of initiatives of the Brazilian creative economy. In 2011, Bomba do Hemetério district became a creative center, as an expanded territory that aggregates a variety of carnival groups, some of them considered of fundamental importance for the Pernambuco Carnival. It can be said that the local cultural scene has made possible its recognition as a creative center. The community received a local development initiative carried out through the articulation of government and non-governmental institutions. Based on this, this research was dedicated to the analysis of Bomba do Hemetério district carnival culture in order to unveil the discourses that characterize this culture as a local development resource. We used post-development theory as theoretical lens and, by interpreting the file inspired by Foucauldian Discourse Analysis, three discursive formations were revealed: one on the local culture and its traditions, the other highlights local culture as a source of survival and another points to the creative economy public policy.

Uma das complicações que levam o paciente terminal de câncer à morte é a imunossupressão. Por sua vez, a superprodução de prostaglandinas ciclopentenônicas (CP-PGs) no plasma desses indivíduos é um fator de risco para depressão imunológica já que as CP PGs bloqueiam inúmeras interações entre células imunológicas. Estudos de nosso grupo revelaram que células tumorais apresentam alta atividade da ATPase bomba GS X/MRP que exporta conjugados sulfidrila, inclusive CP PG na forma de S-conjugados de glutationa. A glutationa é uma das, ou a mais importante substância para manutenção do estado redox celular. Como o acúmulo de proteínas de choque térmico (HSP) induzidas pelas CP PGs em células imunológicas é indicativo do grau de estresse ao qual cada célula está sendo submetida, neste trabalho, buscamos determinar qual a influência da MRP1/bomba GS-X na presença de estresse celular causado por desbalanço redox e os parâmetros de estresse celular necessários para influenciar a expressão e/ou a atividade da MRP1/bomba GS-X. Nossos resultados sugerem que linfócitos respondem bem a transfecção por eletroporação com o gene da MRP1/bomba GS-X e que a presença desta proteína possa conferir resistência ao tratamento com substâncias eletrofílicas de maneira a ajustar o estado redox celular mais rapidamente, o que impede o efeito citotóxico destas substâncias.

obtidos experimentalmente, daí que também se aborde um pouco esta questão. As
restantes três partes deste trabalho referem-se aos resultados computacionais obtidos
para um difusor, que serve de validação numérica para o caso da bomba, e também
para esta a funcionar nos modos directo e inverso.
Os resultados numéricos obtidos para a bomba a funcionar em ambos os modos de
operação permitiram retirar conclusões importamtes. Estas conclusões dizem respeito
a bomba a funcionar em modo directo, e também se referem a aspectos relacionados
com o projecto mecânico da bomba funcionando como turbina (PAT). Algumas das
análises do escoamento que se efectuaram para a bomba em modo directo foram alvo
de alterações na geometria e de experimentação por parte da empresa EFAFLU.

This research had the objective of identifying the different meanings attributed by elementary school students to the process of school reinforcement. From the theoretical perspective of Socio-Historical Psychology, fundamental concepts of the psychological constitution of the child were raised during the school period, as well as their socialization inside and outside the school. The concepts served as grounds for an interview, applied to two children from private schools in São Paulo. From the answers obtained, a qualitative analysis was carried out, using the theoretical reference of the Meaning Cores, research methodology created by Wanda Maria Junqueira Aguiar and Sergio Ozella (2006; 2013). The analysis allowed a mapping and construction of a panorama of how children perceive and signify the process of school reinforcement, generating important data for parents, teachers and professionals in the area of education and health. From the information found, the adults involved with the child can restructure and orient the process of school reinforcement in a different way, aiming at reducing or eliminating the feelings of exclusion and devaluation that the process can generate in the child
Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de identificar significações atribuídas por estudantes do ensino fundamental ao processo de reforço escolar. A partir da perspectiva teórica da Psicologia Sócio-Histórica foram levantados conceitos fundamentais da constituição psicológica da criança no período escolar, bem como de sua socialização dentro e fora da escola. Os conceitos serviram de base para criar um roteiro de entrevista, instrumento fundamental desta pesquisa, que foi aplicado a duas crianças estudantes de escolas particulares de São Paulo. A partir das respostas obtidas foi realizada uma análise qualitativa, utilizando o referencial teórico dos Núcleos de Significação, metodologia de pesquisa criada por Wanda Maria Junqueira Aguiar e Sergio Ozella (2006; 2013). A análise permitiu um mapeamento e construção de um panorama de como as crianças percebem e significam o processo de reforço escolar, gerando dados importantes para pais, professores e profissionais da área de educação e saúde. A partir das informações encontradas os adultos envolvidos com a criança podem reestruturar e orientar de forma diferente o processo de reforço escolar, visando à diminuição ou eliminação dos sentimentos de exclusão e desvalorização que o processo pode gerar na criança

A dissertação tem por objetivo problematizar como professoras de uma escola estadual do município de Esteio, situado na região metropolitana da capital do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, descrevem a aprendizagem da matemática escolar e, em particular, o raciocínio lógico de seus alunos. Os aportes teóricos vinculam-se ao pensamento pós-estruturalista, especialmente a algumas formulações do filósofo Michel Foucault e a ideias presentes na obra Discurso do Método, de René Descartes, principalmente aquelas ligadas à ordenação do pensamento. O material de pesquisa está constituído por documentos avaliativos da escola, em especial por 58 pareceres descritivos elaborados por cinco professoras dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental da instituição estudada, e por entrevistas que com elas foram realizadas. As entrevistas foram gravadas e posteriormente transcritas. A análise do material de pesquisa possibilitou: mostrar as ressonâncias das ideias cartesianas como condutoras das condutas dos sujeitos escolares na contem
This dissertation aims at problematizing how teachers from a state school in Esteio, a town located in the metropolitan region surrounding the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, describe the learning of school mathematics, particularly their students’ logical reasoning. The theoretical bases of this investigation have been linked to the poststructuralist thought, following some formulations of Michel Foucault, and ideas from Discourse on Method, by René Descartes, mainly those linked to thought ordering. Evaluation documents of the school studied, especially 58 descriptive evaluations written by five teachers of elementary school, as well as interviews with these teachers have constituted the research material. The interviews were recorded and later transcribed. The analysis of the research material has allowed for: showing the resonances of Cartesian ideas as conducting the conducts of school subjects in contemporaneity; reflecting upon relationships between Mathematics as a foundation of reasoning and its ma

Esta dissertação é sustentada por estudos da comunicação relativos às narrativas e representações sociais. Essas conceituações foram aplicadas à televisão, entendida como veículo de abrangência nacional que insere os telespectadores no mesmo espaço midiático. Porém, mesmo sendo um veículo de massa, proporciona a difusão de saberes específicos ou regionais. É o caso de programas voltados para as pessoas que vivem e trabalham em comunidades rurais. Essa parcela da população, representante da diversidade cultura brasileira, está presente na mídia. E é retratada ao longo dos anos tanto nas produções jornalísticas – seja como público-alvo e/ou como pauta – quanto nas produções ficcionais das emissoras de TV aberta. A partir da compreensão de conceitos e abordagens, propõe-se, então, a caracterização de como o jornalismo utiliza nas reportagens elementos característicos de produções ficcionais para representar o “homem do campo”. O corpus da pesquisa são as edições do Globo Rural, exibido semanalmente pela Rede Globo. Por meio da metodologia de Análise de Conteúdo, exploramos três edições do programa para detectar a construção dos trabalhadores do campo enquanto personagens das reportagens. A análise das edições levou a resultados que mostram aproximações entre tipos interioranos presentes na ficção e no jornalismo e a presença de elementos narrativos em comum, como a descrição de cenários, enquadramentos de câmera e roteirização do texto do repórter.
This master’s thesis is supported by communication studies on narrative and social representations. These concepts have been applied to television, understood, understood as nationwide vehicle that enters the viewers in the same media space. But even as a mass medium, it provides the dissemination of specific or regional knowledge. This is the case of programs for people who live and work in rural communities. This portion of the population, representing the diversity Brazilian culture is present in the media. And it is portrayed over the years both in journalistic productions - either as target audience and/or as an agenda - as the fictional productions of television stations open. From the understanding of concepts and approaches, it is proposed, then the characterization of how journalism uses the reports characteristic of fictional productions to represent the "man of the field". The corpus of the research are issues of “Globo Rural”, appears weekly by Rede Globo. Through content methodology of the Content Analysis, we explore three editions of the program to detect the construction of field workers as characters of the stories. The analysis of issues led to results that show similarities between provincials types present in fiction and journalism and the presence of narrative elements in common, such as the description of scenarios, camera framing and scripting reporter text.
