Jackson, Antoine Lennell. ""All Blacks Vote the Same?": Assessing Predictors of Black American Political Participation and Partisanship." Scholar Commons, 2013. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4693.

Abstract:
The politics of Blacks are stereotypically assumed to be the same and share the same race-based root, be it disenfranchisement or solidarity. Given the recent jump in Black political participation and the seemingly race-based and partisan nature "the Black vote" holds, it is essential to investigate what factors drive Black voter turnout as well as what factors contribute to the partisan nature of Black voters. Most other studies of political opinion, turnout, and party preference only consider comparable demographic groups such as men versus women or Blacks versus Whites. This study examines partisan preference and participation only among Black Americans. The data used here come from the American National Election Survey (ANES) 1984, 1996, and 2008 Pre- and Post-Election Survey, election years that coincided with peaks and lows of Black voter turnout since the Civil Rights Movement. Findings indicate that Black Democrats report higher voter turnout than Black non-Democrats, and younger Blacks and those who opposed abortion were less likely to vote. Also, results suggest that although Black partisanship can be predicted by gender, abortion stance, and age, partisanship is largely not a product of demographics or political stances based on how little variance these models account; rather, Black partisanship may be explained by aspects that go beyond these usual determinants, measures, and proxies. Implications of this study show that non-Democratic Blacks were political available to other parties, and it warrants a further investigation into Black partisanship.

Abstract:
Lucy Addison High School was an all-Black high school located in Roanoke, Virginia. All-black high schools are defined in this study as high schools that were segregated by race and attended only by Black students. Lucy Addison operated as an all-Black high school from 1928 until 1970 in two different buildings. Roanoke's secondary schools were desegregated in 1963. Addison was integrated in the fall of 1970 and closed in 1973. The purpose of the study was twofold. The primary purpose was to document the experiences of the graduates of the classes of 1963-70 of Lucy Addison High School. The secondary purpose was to determine if the supports found in the research literature about all-Black high schools prior to desegregation were present in the Lucy Addison students' experiences during the years between desegregation and integration. The supports are (a) the importance of a spiritual foundation, (b) high expectations from school administrators and teachers, and (c) parent and community support. Six common themes emerged from the interviews with participants. They were: (a) the importance of a spiritual foundation, (b) high expectations from teachers and administrators, (c) parent and community support, (d) school leadership, (e) attitudes on segregation and integration, and (f) school pride. These themes helped answer the four research questions that guided the study. After conducting interviews with the graduates, their accounts confirmed that the supports identified in the literature regarding all-Black high schools were present in their school experiences. The importance of a spiritual foundation, high expectations from teachers and administrators, and parent and community support could easily be seen in the experiences of all 16 students who attended Lucy Addison High School from 1963-1970. Upon reflection on the study, the researcher made certain recommendations for further study. The recommendations for further study revolve around the continued documentation of experiences of Lucy Addison High School students, conducting a study of Lucy Addison High School as an integrated school from 1970 to 1973, and assessing the reason why Lucy Addison High School was allowed to stay open as an integrated high school.

Abstract:
As corporations transcend international borders new questions arise concerning the formation of identities. This study looks at adidas advertising campaigns "Bonded by Blood" and "Of This Earth" and how they represent and commodify Māori culture. "The Making" of "Bonded by Blood" is the video component for that campaign. The "Of This Earth" file is the TV commercial from 2007. Furthermore, this study looked at whether or not these advertisements are in fact reaffirming already established stereotypes about indigeneity and "Otherness." This thesis is informed by Stuart Hall's article "The Spectacle of the Other" as well as works by other scholars who discuss ideologies of Otherness, globalization, glocalization, mobility, and corporate sports sponsorship. The posters of each campaign as well as the video components were analyzed through textual analysis. The results show that patterns of cultural appropriation and reaffirmation of stereotypes do occur in the posters and videos of those campaigns. The two video components are included as supplementary files for this thesis.

Abstract:
This study explores the relationship between two theoretical constructs: brand image and brand equity in the context sports sponsorship. The sporting context for the study was the 2003 Rugby World Cup held in Australia. The research focused on the sponsorship relationship between the New Zealand All Blacks and their major sponsor and co-branding partner, adidas. Keller's (1993, 2003) customer-based brand equity models were the conceptual inspiration for the research, with Faircloth, Capella and Alford's (2001) conceptual model - adapted from the work of Aaker (1991) and Keller (1993) - the primary conceptual model. Data was collected from two independent samples of 200 respondents, utilizing simple random sampling procedures. A bivariate correlation analysis was undertaken to test whether there was any correlation between changes in adidas's brand image and adidas's brand equity as a result of the All Blacks' performance in the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Results support the view postulated by Keller (1993, 2003) that brand image is antecedent to the brand equity construct. Results are also consistent with the findings of Faircloth et al (2001) who found that brand image directly impacted brand equity.

Full text
Abstract:

Gifted programs in the United States under-represent African American (Black) children (Phi Delta Kappan, 1992). In 1993, African-American students were under-represented by 50% in gifted education, and 60% in 1998 (Grantham & Ford, 2003). Further, some speculate that gifted education programs are the most segregated educational programs in the nation (Ford, 1995). This proves especially true for Black gifted girl in urban educational arenas, where gifted Black girls are rarely recognized. The purpose of this research was to examine the circumstances surrounding how urban black girls—identified as showing academic promise—come either to be overlooked as qualified for gifted education or seem not to take up a sense of themselves as gifted, that is they see themselves as not fitting among those who are in gifted education. Three scholarly arenas frame this study: Feminist thought and theory, with an emphasis on Black feminist thought, notions of "giftedness" and gifted education, and policies and processes for identification of gifted Black girls. Eight gifted Black girls were individually interviewed twice, three teachers were individually interviewed, and three parents were interviewed in a focus group session. Four interview guides were constructed to focus on students' perspectives of GS1 (pseudonym) and gifted education, parent strategies, and teachers' roles in the identification of these gifted Black girls. Qualitative analysis strategies (Spradley1980) were utilized for data analysis. The curriculum of the gifted programming at GS1 (pseudonym) ultimately contributed greatly not only to how girls saw themselves as gifted, but also how they understood stereotypes about young Black women. The feminist curriculum and the "feminist lens" provided in the gifted programming at GS1 provided outlets for girls' voices. Teachers interviewed not only understood the gifted Black girls' culture, but also strengthened their relationships with the girls and with their parents by presenting and enforcing clear expectations for the gifted programming. Parents interviewed not only understood their gifted daughters' uniqueness, but also the importance of their independence and security as young Black women.

Abstract:
In this article, we explore the Black Lives Matter activist Alicia Garza's Twitter usage during the month of June in 2020 with a critical discourse analysis (CDA). Our aim with the study was to examine the underlying motives and values in Garzas tweeting, and if there were any prevailing themes, in order to see if there was a difference between the discourse used for personal matters and the discourse related to her activism. To support our analysis we utilized critical theory to gain a critical reference and the two-step flow hypothesis to delve into the possible effects Garza's position as an opinion leader has on her tweeting. After processing and examining a total of 48 tweets from the month of June, through the use of coding, our analysis suggests that there are several prevalent themes that can be distinguished in her tweeting. The themes we found were personal tweets, tweets expressing solidarity, tweets urging for action, tweets exuding authority, and promotional tweets. The line between personal matters and the discourse related to her activism was found to be fluid and unable to be strictly defined.

Abstract:
Studien är en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av den amerikanska tv-serien Orange  is the new black, där vi har undersökt hur etniska stereotyper konstrueras i serien. Orange is the new black har omtalats som en tv-serie som bryter mot många av de klassiska fördomarna kring etniska grupper. Genom att undersöka vilka stereotyper som tidigare har förekommit i media har vi sedan kunnat undersöka hur etniciteter framställs i vårt undersökningsobjekt, hur de framställs i relation till varandra och om serien lyckas utmana gamla stereotyper, och i så fall hur? För att undersöka detta har vi använt semiotik som metod. Problemet som vi ser är att människor påverkas av vad de ser i medierna och att media påverkar hur samhället ser ut. Med hjälp av postkolonial teori och begreppen stereotyp och hegemoni undersöker vi hur en tv-serie kan hjälpa till att styra samhällets strukturer och attityder gentemot andra etniciteter. Den postkoloniala teorin menar att västerländsk kultur ofta är etnocentrisk och bidrar till att skapa klyftor mellan “vi” i väst, och “de” andra.   Vi kom fram till att Orange is the new black bekräftar existerande stereotyper snarare än att bryta mot dem, och att serien i hög grad bidrar till att förstärka skillnaden mellan etniska grupper. Vi har därmed dragit slutsatsen att tv-serien också då påverkar samhällets hegemoni genom att porträttera den vita medelklassen som en grupp som står över afroamerikaner, latinamerikaner, asiater och white trash. Som vidare forskning föreslår vi att fokus förflyttas från innehållet till hur mottagarna uppfattar stereotyper i Orange is the new black.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores the representation of crime in the news in relation to expressed emotion and intention for future action. Episodic and thematic framing (Iyengar, 1991) and narrative processing (Singer & Bluck, 2001) served as the theoretical foundations of this study and helped examine how scripted news stories involving crime influence levels of fear, anger, and empathy in individuals, and how these emotions subsequently affect behaviors. To measure these framing effects, an experimental manipulation was employed using three conceptually different news stories all involving gun-related crimes. One news story utilized an episodic format, while the other two stories used a thematic format (one positive and one negative). Emotional responses, levels of narrative engagement, policy support, perceived risk of victimization, and pro-social behavioral intentions were measured, all based on exposure to the specific type of news frame. The results of this study indicated that while types of news frames did not have a direct effect on readers' emotions, there was a significant relationship between emotions and future actions. For example, fear, anger, and empathy were significant predictors of perceived risk of victimization, policy support, and pro-social behavioral intentions, respectively. These findings contribute to the understanding of the role emotions play in predicting behavior, both within and beyond the scope of message framing.

Abstract:
This qualitative study reflects the researcher's aim to capture the oral histories of students who attended Lee M. Waid, an all-Black rural Virginian school, between 1963 and 1970. This purpose lies in the researcher's attempt to thoroughly and accurately capture a time in history after desegregation was mandated, Freedom of Choice plans were implemented or being created, and integration was occurring across the nation, Virginia, and Franklin County. This study is guided by the research question: What were the experiences of students and staff who were part of Lee M. Waid School during the years 1963 to 1970? The researcher followed the 10-step interview protocol of Creswell and Poth (2018) and adapted 15 interview questions from Johnson's (2015) dissertation The Addisonians: The Experiences of Graduates of the Classes of 1963-70 of Lucy Addison High School, An All-Black High School in Roanoke, Virginia. The interview questions were slightly adapted to suit the researcher's study to gain insight about student experiences at Waid School. The researcher purposefully selected 14 participants by looking at existing data through the use of primary documents and snowball or chain methodology. Fourteen of the participants were former students of Waid School and two were former faculty members of Franklin County Public Schools. The exploration of student experiences during desegregation is vital to preserving the history, legacy, and influence of Black education.
Doctor of Education
The purpose of this study was to shed light on the experiences of Black students during desegregation in Franklin County, Virginia. The researcher aimed to capture the oral histories of students who attended Lee M. Waid, an all-Black rural Virginian school, between 1963 and 1970. The voices of the participants and their stories add to the breadth of literature and body of knowledge on the desegregation process. Before the completion of this study, the perspectives and experiences of participants had not been formally documented. A brief review of the literature on the history of Black education at the national, state, and local levels provides essential background information for historical context leading to the desegregation of United States public schools. An overview of southern segregated schools provides insight into the supports and values held within all-Black schools before and after the initiation of the desegregation of schools. The examination of student experiences during desegregation provides critical insight on America's pathway toward equity in education, the effect of desegregation from the student perspective, and the remnants of segregation that still exist today in American public schools. Through a qualitative case study, the researcher conducted interviews with former students and stakeholders of Lee M. Waid. The researcher reviewed primary documents such as yearbooks, newspaper articles, and other documents provided by participants. Through interviews with participants, (a) high expectations from teachers and administrators, (b) parent and community support, (c) familial attitudes or beliefs about segregation and integration, (d) school pride, and (e) each participant meaningfully reflected on their individual school experiences during desegregation. The themes identified in the study are similar to those identified by other researchers who have explored the initial desegregation of schools and the supports and values held within segregated schools. One of the recommendations of this study encourages additional research and documentation of student experiences during desegregation. The exploration of student experiences during desegregation is vital to preserving the history, legacy, and influence of Black education.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores protean and boundaryless career attitudes in a sample of black British knowledge intensive workers. Changes in the organisational climate to more flexible project based working have affected the way in which careers develop. It has been reported that employees need to possess certain skills to help them succeed in the modern employment climate (Arthur and Rousseau 1996). The main research theory that has attempted to explain such career changes and the acquisition of specialist skills include the boundaryless career which includes both intelligent and protean career competencies (Greenhaus et al 2004). The purpose of the current study is to investigate the extent to which black African and black Caribbean workers careers are boundaryless and to investigate the nature and type of career boundaries and barriers faced. The current research addresses some of the criticisms of boundaryless career research highlighted by Sullivan et al (1998, 1999, 2009). These criticisms include an apparent exaggeration of the pervasiveness of boundaryless and protean careers and a lack of research investigating the applicability of these career theories to professional, minority group members. Thirty two knowledge workers were interviewed to understand the nature and type of career boundaries faced. A quantitative questionnaire developed by Briscoe et al (2006) was also used to investigate the extent to which black knowledge workers are protean and boundaryless in their career outlook. The findings from the interviews highlight education and family as career enablers as they help participants navigate potential career barriers. The lack of career mentors, racial discrimination and inadequate career advice at an early age were perceived as career boundaries. Results also point to a perceptual difference between career boundaries and barriers which researchers such as Sullivan et al (2004) saught to clarify. The findings suggest that career boundaries are more flexible and less permeable and career barriers are more rigid and difficult to overcome. Briscoe et al (2006) boundaryless and protean scales and were completed by 187 participants. It was found that management consultants, those aged 41-50 and those with higher levels of education were found to be the most boundaryless. The main theoretical contribution is that “attached boundaryless” is displayed. Attached boundarylessness occurred as participants preferred the security of remaining in an organisation, but enjoyed being self directed and boundaryless within their organisations by working collaboratively.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the lives, accomplishments, and struggles of the black community in Norfolk, Virginia, between the years of 1861 and 1884, from the black perspective.;The integration of documents with statistics to uncover the mentalite of blacks is the focus of this study's research. The black community of this period was not always reactive, but active in determining its own fate. Even during slavery, Norfolk's blacks took an active role in their destiny through participation in the Underground Railroad.;This study suggests that blacks strove diligently to work with, and in some cases, conciliate, the white oligarchy. Unfortunately, their efforts met with resistance and defeat. Despite these difficulties, the black community pulled together to assist its members as the whites unified to subjugate them.;The results of the investigation suggest that had blacks continued to be politically active, Norfolk would have had an economically prosperous black community. Instead, the introduction of Jim Crow laws served to oppress blacks economically and produce a sense of hopelessness, socially and politically.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis examines the O.J. Simpson murder trial and analyzes the racial narratives that affected its outcome and the way it is perceived by the American public. By examining four books about the trial written by lawyers who served on the case, the analysis focuses on how race functions within each of the reconstructed narratives, as well as within the framework of the U.S. criminal justice system. The author argues that racial narratives affect how and why people can see the same event differently, a prime example of which is the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Representations of Mark Fuhrman, his role in the O.J. Simpson trial, and how these are affected by racial narratives are also discussed. The author concludes that the O.J. Simpson murder trial presented an opportunity in which issues concerning race, race relations, and ideologies about race could be openly discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
This is an analysis of the task system, the primary form of labor organization used by South Carolina and Georgia lowcountry rice planters. It examines the labor process of rice field hands, analyzes the extent to which gender shaped enslaved men and women's experiences of tasking, and explores some of the ramifications of task work on field women's lives. Conventional interpretations of the task system claim that it provided slaves with more autonomy, control, and opportunities for individual initiative than gang labor did. In contrast, this study finds that tasking was a multifaceted labor regime whose differences from gang labor were less pronounced than previous scholarship suggests. Specifically, structural, seasonal, and managerial constraints profoundly limited slaves' ability to control their work pace and to independently manage their work routines. As a result, slaves' access to own time and autonomy could be quite limited. Significantly, field hands did not experience these limits equally. Since planters did not adhere to one uniform model of rice cultivation, task assignments and labor routines varied across plantations. This heterogenous organization of task labor meant that slaves' ability to realize tasking's potential for greater slave autonomy was disproportionate across plantation boundaries. Gender also affected slaves' access to own time. Field women's control over the length of their work day and hence over access to own time was particularly circumscribed. The origins of these limits can be found in how planters organized their labor force and allocated field work. Given these constraints, slaves clearly did not gain own time easily. Nevertheless, slaves persevered in their quest for any or more own time by trying to circumvent prescribed work routines. Historians have touted slave family assistance as one of the most important of their strategies. While true, such aid was complex, circumscribed, and sometimes gendered. Finally, I link these labor and aid patterns to field women's reproductive histories and find that they help explain the region's high rate of slave neonatal mortality. These findings provide compelling evidence that we need to lower our assessment of the relative benefits putatively enjoyed by slaves who worked in a task regime.

Abstract:
Poet and professor Sterling A. Brown (1901-1989) played a significant role in the birth of black literary and cultural studies through his literary and academic careers. Brown helped to establish a new wave of black cultural and folklore studies during his time as the “Director of Negro Affairs” for the Federal Writers’ Project. As a professor at Howard University, Brown influenced black literary studies through his literary criticisms and seminars and his role as a mentor to literary figures of the next generations. Through letters to and from Sterling Brown and manuscripts, this thesis argues that Brown’s poetry, publications and folk studies in the nineteen twenties and thirties where the groundwork for his most prolific role of teacher-mentor.

In generale, ottenere un'espressione analitica per la volatilità implicita è impossibile, lo scopo di questa tesi infatti è trovare una sua approssimazione. Si mostra come è possibile descrivere il comportamento di tale parametro vicino alla scadenza, analizzando il corrispondente comportamento della superficie del prezzo della Call. Attraverso processi analitici di approssimazione, mettiamo in evidenza l'andamento asintotico del prezzo di Black-Sholes di un'opzione Call, sfruttando tale risultato, presentiamo il comportamento vicino alla scadenza della volatilità implicita.

Full text
Abstract:

In 1954, Southwestern Louisiana Institute (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) became the first undergraduate school in the Deep South to desegregate. Its acclaim as the first, however, was promoted only because it lost as a defendant in Clara Dell Constantine et al. v. Southwestern Louisiana Institute et al. What occurred then, and the indignities experienced by African American students during that first decade has never been fully documented. The black experience was figuratively and literally blacked out.

African American students found themselves receiving lower grades in class than their white counterparts. Social events banned them, and school services denied access. To cope with racism, they drew strength by supporting one another, developing a grapevine, establishing their own social network, and most of all, keeping focused on their education. But not everyone was against them. Some whites risked their reputation, and became their brother’s keeper.

The four Pillars of Progress, commemorating the fiftieth anniversaries of SLI’s desegregation and Brown in 2004, stand today as a campus testament to that era. But what remains at odds is whether the desegregation of SLI was “without incident.” That still remains a matter of interpretation and depends on whom is being asked and who answers.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: John J. Makransky
The purpose of this work is to differentiate the autonomous `self-compassion' of therapeutic modernist Buddhism from pre-therapeutic Mahâyâna Buddhist practices of refuge, so that refuge itself is not obscured as a fundamental Buddhist orientation that empowers the possibility of compassion for self and other in the first place. The work begins by situating issues of shame and self-aversion sociologically, in order to understand how and why self-aversion became a significant topic of concern during the final quarter of the twentieth century. This discussion allows for a further investigation of shame as it has been addressed first by psychologists, for whom shame is often understood as a form of isolating self-aversion, and then by philosophers such as Bernard Williams and Emmanuel Levinas, for whom shame attunes the person to the moral expectations of a community, and therefore to ethical commands that arise from beyond the individual self. Both psychologists and philosophers are ultimately concerned with problems and possibilities of relationship. These discussions prepare the reader to understand the importance of Buddhist refuge as a form of relationship that structures an integrative rather than destructive self-evaluation. The second chapter of the dissertation closely examines Friedrich Nietzsche's work on shame. In a late note, Nietzsche wrote that "man has lost the faith in his own value when no infinitely valuable whole works through him"; the second chapter argues that Nietzsche's vision of a relatively autonomous will to power cannot fully incorporate this important Nietzschean insight, and helps to drive the kind of self-evaluation typical of modernist `personality culture,' which is likely to become harsh. The third chapter first discusses contemporary therapeutic Buddhist responses to self-aversion, particularly practices of `self-compassion' that claim to be rooted in early Pali canonical and commentarial sources, before developing a commentary on the medieval Tibetan lojong teaching Drive all blames into one. Drive all blames into one, though often discussed in contemporary commentaries as a form of self-blame, should be understood more thoroughly as a simultaneous process of refuge and critique--a process that drives further access to compassion not only for self, but for others as well. Chapter Four discusses mourning and self-reproach in the apophthegmata of the Desert Fathers, showing how `self-hatred' in this context is in a form of irony: the self that is denigrated is not an ultimate reality, and the process of mourning depends upon both an access to love and a clear recognition of our many turns away from that love. In conclusion, I draw attention to the irony of modernist rejections of religious self-critique as supposedly harmful forms of mere shaming, even as the modernist emphasis on autonomy is what enables self-critique to become harsh and damaging

Abstract:
Stereotypical images of blacks have persisted throughout multiple forms of media for decades, with one of the most recent arenas being reality television programming. This study examines the Bravo Television network series The Real Housewives of Atlanta to consider the impact of reality television on the image of black women in America today. This increasingly popular show is the most viewed in The Real Housewives franchise, and demonstrates that black women in America do not embody any one historical or contemporary stereotype of black women in particular, but rather are a compilation of these stereotypes depending on the situation at hand.

Abstract:
HAVEN FOR ALL HUNGRY SOULS: THE INFLUENCE OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND THE SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS ON MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE By Serena Celeste Wilson Morris Brown College is a small, private historically Black college located near downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The College is the only post-secondary institution in Georgia founded by Blacks for the purpose of educating Blacks. The relationship between Morris Brown College, and the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools presents an untapped area of research regarding the how external regulatory and fiscal contributing bodies influence the internal mission, culture and management of an institution of higher education. Morris Brown College presents a unique case because, since its founding, it has maintained a close affiliation with the Church that established it. Yet, in recent years, its financial existence has been dependent upon the receipt and use of public funding—which is intricately tied to accrediting standards and oversight. In 2003 the College lost its accreditation. This study employs an ethnographic case-study qualitative research design to explore how the College’s relationship with these bodies influenced the institution’s organizational structure, fiscal management, and administrative culture and identity. The study’s findings indicate that the College’s relationship with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools was largely reflective of the values, ideals, and perspectives of who represented the College at any given time. The College’s relationship with its founding body, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, was primarily maintained through the placement of Church members (largely clergy) on the College’s board of trustees, and evidenced in the College’s ideology and mission. Although an autonomous operating body, the College’s relationships with these two bodies are complicated by the institution’s reliance on continued financial support from the Church, and validation (in the form of accreditation) from SACS. While healthy working relationships with both bodies are not mutually exclusive, the internal planning, governance, and evaluation of the College must necessarily consider the values and expectations of these (and other) external entities.

Abstract:
Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso a respeito das alterações que ocorreram em uma comunidade tradicional quilombola, localizada no Estado do Pará, no município de Oeiras do Pará, denominada Igarapé Preto, a partir da implantação do Programa Luz para Todos, o qual se constituiu em um indicador de desenvolvimento e integração nacional, que além da energia elétrica, permitiu também o acesso a cidadania, por meio de serviços, como: saúde, educação e saneamento básico às famílias que neste local residem. Justifica-se por fazer uma análise das mudanças provocadas pelo programa que alteraram o modo de vida local, permitindo aos moradores adotar novos comportamentos, que corresponderam às necessidades do momento histórico que vivenciavam, considerando a organização e participação que influenciaram nas tomadas de decisões, objetivando a implantação de melhorias. Teve como objetivos a tarefa de investigar as mudanças ocorridas, verificando a relação das famílias com o meio ambiente antes e depois da chegada da energia elétrica, identificando e caracterizando as mudanças de ordem econômica, social, cultural e ambiental que ocorreram na comunidade partir da chegada de energia elétrica e que contribuíram para mudanças na qualidade de vida da população. Pretendendo, dessa forma, gerar conhecimentos novos e úteis para o avanço da ciência sem uma aplicação prática prevista.
This paper presents a case study of changes occurring in a traditional maroon, located in Para State, in the municipality of Oeiras do Pará, called Igarapé Preto, from the implementation of the "Light for Everyone", which was constituted as an indicator of development and national integration, which in addition to electric power also allowed access to citizenship, through services such as health, education and sanitation to families who reside in this location. Justified by analyzing the changes caused by the program that changed the local way of life, allowing residents to adopt new behaviors, which corresponded to the needs of the historic moment experienced, considering the organization and participation that influenced the decision-making, aiming the implementation of improvements. Aimed to the task of investigating the changes, verifying the relationship of family environment before and after the arrival of electricity by identifying and characterizing the changes of economic, social, and cultural environment that occurred in the community from the arrival power and contributed to changes in the quality of life. Intending thereby to generate new and useful knowledge for the advancement of science without practical application envisaged.

Abstract:
Historically, black women have always played key roles in the struggle for liberation. A critical determinant of black women’s activism was the influence of both race and gender, as these factors were immutably married to their subjectivities. African American women faced the socio-cultural and structural challenge of sexism prevalent in the United States and also in the black community. My study examines the life of Fulani Sunni Ali, her role in black liberation, her role as the Minister of Information for the Provisional Government for the Republic of New Africa, and her communication strategies. In doing so, I evaluate a black female revolutionary nationalist’s discursive negotiation of her identity during the Black Power and Black Nationalist Movement. I also use womanist criticism to analyze interviews with Sunni Ali and archival data in her possession to reveal the complexity and diversity of black women’s roles and activities in a history of black resistance struggle and to locate black female presence and agency in Black Power. The following study more generally analyzes black female revolutionary nationalists’ roles, activities, and discursive identity negotiation during the Black Power Movement. By examining Sunni Ali’s life and the way she struggled against racism and patriarchy to advocate for Black Power and Black Nationalism, I demonstrate how her activism was a continuation of a tradition of black women’s resistance, and I extrapolate her forms of black women’s activism extant in the movement.

It is not available for all. Sport itself is not magic-wand through which people naturally find it possible to put behind them societal differences. Differences from greater society are mirrored in sport and this was evident from my data.

Abstract:
Sin dallo sviluppo dei primi velivoli in grande scala si è evidenziata la necessità di poter usufruire di modelli matematici e di simulazione dinamica che potessero restituire stime affidabili del comportamento che i prototipi sottoposti ai test avrebbero potuto presentare in volo. La capacità di poter prevedere i comportamenti che i velivoli sviluppano in contesti operativi si rivela la soluzione vincente per risparmiare denaro e per poter identificare tutte quelle manovre che possono costituire un pericolo, sia per quanto riguarda problemi di carattere aeroelastico e strutturale, sia, di conseguenza, per la vita dei collaudatori e per quella dei futuri occupanti del mezzo. Tali simulazioni mantengono inizialmente livelli di difficoltà di modello minimi per poi affinarsi per approssimazioni successive, passo dopo passo, con lo scopo di fornire una sempre più precisa previsione del comportamento in volo del velivolo. Lo scopo del seguente lavoro di tesi è proporre il modello di un elicottero in scala a pilotaggio remoto disegnato in ambiente CAD e implementato in ambiente Simulink® SimScape. La finalità del lavoro qui proposto è schematizzare in maniera il più semplice possibile la meccanica di volo di un elicottero riducendo le attuazioni a: rotazione del rotore principale, rotazione del rotore di coda, inclinazione del passo delle pale del rotore principale, inclinazione del passo delle pale del rotore di coda, assetto del velivolo. Per fare ciò i passi fondamentali sono essenzialmente due: la modellazione del velivolo nelle sue componenti fondamentali (fusoliera, rotore principale e di coda, pale) e le simulazioni in ambiente matematico per mezzo di input forniti dall’esterno.

Abstract:
En plena crisis económica los consumidores recurren a segundas marcas o a marcas de distribuidor debido a una motivación económica más que por un criterio de calidad. Hay numerosos estudios e informes anuales que indican, incluso en épocas de auge económico, que existe un importante avance en la evolución de las marcas de distribuidor. En la presente tesis, además de realizar un estudio sobre el aumento de la cuota de mercado de la marca de distribuidor, nos interesa además dar respuesta a una cuestión fundamental: su asentamiento como marca. Esto es, si dichas marcas han penetrado de manera efectiva en la mente del consumidor al igual que lo hacen las marcas de fabricante. Con el paso de los años la marca de distribuidor se ha convertido en un importante competidor de la marca de fabricante, la cual le sustrae una mayor o menor parte de su cuota de mercado según sea la marcha general de la economía y, en particular, del poder adquisitivo de los consumidores. A pesar de la ganancia de la cuota de mercado de las marcas de distribuidor gracias a los ciclos de crisis económica, las marcas de fabricante, firmemente asentadas en la mente del consumidor como consecuencia de los grandes presupuestos destinados publicidad y promoción durante décadas, se defienden introduciendo en sus surtidos versiones más básicas de sus propios productos, a un precio más bajo. Por parte de las marcas de distribuidor, existen estrategias de asentamiento que buscan no sólo aumentar el consumo en determinados períodos de tiempo, sino construir marcas propias que los clientes asimilen como marcas de fabricante. Sin recurrir a campañas tradicionales de marketing, no teniendo por ello que asumir el elevado coste de las mismas, los distribuidores están consiguiendo crear sus propias marcas, no como agentes sustitutivos temporales, sino como competidores perennes en el mercado. Así pues, el objetivo general de esta investigación es realizar una profundización en los estudios sobre las marcas de distribuidor versus las marcas de fabricante, que vaya más allá de los datos de consumo por sectores. Por otra parte, hablaremos de consumo de marca para referirnos en general a aspectos sobre su adquisición por parte de los clientes. Por último, y en referencia al alcance de nuestra muestra, ésta ha sido limitada a dos ámbitos: el geográfico y el temático. Por lo que se refiere a este último punto, la delimitación geográfica, hemos elegido para el estudio la zona de influencia de tres capitales de provincia de Cataluña: Barcelona, Girona y Tarragona. No hemos estudiado la situación en Lleida por la escasa presencia de Hipermercados. La elección de Cataluña se justifica por ser la comunidad autónoma donde el comercio tradicional goza de mayor protección frente a las grandes superficies, en virtud del Decreto-ley 1/2009, de 22 de diciembre, de ordenación de los equipamientos comerciales. Por tanto, si en esta región se detectan tendencias dominantes en el mercado por parte de la Gran Distribución (en consumo e incluso en la creación de marcas), se puede extrapolar que en el resto de España dichas tendencias serán todavía más significativas. La otra limitación muestral, la temática, se ha decidido a efectos de obtener datos tratables es decir, de disponer de encuestas rápidas, centradas, que los usuarios respondan con un mínimo de errores y con un interés sostenido durante todo el cuestionario. Así pues, se ha limitado el estudio al campo del cuidado y la higiene personal, por ser ésta una categoría donde la gran distribución ha tenido mayor resistencia por parte del consumidor para implantar sus propias marcas (marcas de distribuidor) y, en consecuencia, los resultados y conclusiones extraídos de este estudio son extrapolables a prácticamente la totalidad de las categorías de productos establecidas en el sector de Gran Consumo. Así pues, la presente tesis, se plantea como una investigación que trata de dar respuesta a la siguiente pregunta: ¿Existe un avance de la MDD en el recuerdo de los clientes y, en caso afirmativo, qué características manifiesta?

Full text
Abstract:
This study uses the Tibetan mandala, a Buddhist meditation aid and sacred artform, as a secular critical model by which to analyse the complete fictions of author David Mitchell. Discussing his novels, short stories and libretti, this study maps the author's fictions as an interconnected world-system whose re-evaluation of secular belief in galvanising compassionate ethical action is revealed by a critical comparison with the mandala's methods of world-building. Using the mandala as an interpretive tool to critique the author's Buddhist influences, this thesis reads the mandala as a metaphysical map, a fitting medium for mapping the author's ethical worldview. The introduction evaluates critical structures already suggested to describe the author's worlds, and introduces the mandala as an alternative which more fully addresses Mitchell's fictional terrain. Chapter I investigates the mandala's cartographic properties, mapping Mitchell's short stories as integral islandic narratives within his fictional world which, combined, re-evaluate the role of secular belief in galvanising positive ethical action. Chapter II discusses the Tibetan sand mandala in diaspora as a form of performance when created for unfamiliar audiences, reading its cross-cultural deployment in parallel with the regenerative approaches to tragedy in the author's libretti Wake and Sunken Garden. Chapter III identifies Mitchell's use of reincarnation as a form of non-linear temporality that advocates future-facing ethical action in the face of humanitarian crises, reading the reincarnated Marinus as a form of secular bodhisattva. Chapter IV deconstructs the mandala to address its theoretical limitations, identifying the panopticon as its sinister counterpart, and analysing its effects in number9dream. Chapter V shifts this study's use of the mandala from interpretive tool to emerging category, identifying the transferrable traits that form the emerging category of mandalic literature within other post-secular contemporary fictions, discussing works by Michael Ondaatje, Ali Smith, Yann Martel, Will Self, and Margaret Atwood.

Abstract:
La investigación realizada a los sistemas de seguridad electrónica de edificios, plantea como objetivo principal el reconocimiento de tres gestos de un lenguaje corporal del personal de vigilancia, y la consecuente activación de alarma en forma automática. Inicialmente se realizó una encuesta dirigida a las administraciones y personal de edificios, para saber cuales eran las ocurrencias que vulneraban la seguridad de un edificio multifamiliar, luego se observaron y analizaron las imágenes capturadas por una cámara de vigilancia ubicada en la recepción, identificando las ocurrencias más vulnerables y gestos asociados a dichos eventos; se seleccionaron tres gestos que en forma inconsciente realizaba el personal de vigilancia ante dichas situaciones. A determinados cuadros que comprenden estas imágenes se le aplicaron técnicas de procesamiento espacial, con ayuda de una iluminación artificial que era más intensa en la parte posterior del sujeto de análisis, consiguiéndose la definición de una silueta binarizada en el entorno Matlab, técnicas como selección del plano rojo, plano de bits más significativo, invertir imagen y transformaciones morfológicas tipo cerradura, definieron una silueta que ayudó a desarrollar un algoritmo matemático para generar una señal eléctrica en el puerto serial USB del ordenador, donde se conectó físicamente una plataforma de hardware Arduino que activa la alarma. La elección de esta plataforma se debió a que Matlab cuenta con un grupo de instrucciones para Arduino, con el objetivo de lograr una comunicación sincronizada entre ordenador e interface. Las técnicas utilizadas reconocieron 62,5% de los eventos descritos en las encuestas realizadas y que no son mencionadas en temas de investigación similar. Para lograr el objetivo fue necesario analizar un cuadro por segundo. The research poses as their main objective the three gestures recognition of a body language of surveillance personnel and the consequent activation of alarm automatically. It was initially carried out a survey of the administration and the offices of the buildings to know which were the occurrences that violate the security of a multi-family building, then were observed and analyzed images captured by a surveillance camera located in the reception, identifying the most vulnerable occurrences and gestures associated with these events; were selected three gestures that unconsciously performs surveillance personnel before such situations; to certain pictures that comprise these images were applied spatial processing techniques, with the help of an artificial lighting that was more intense in the back of the subject of analysis, getting the definition of a silhouette binarized in the Matlab environment, techniques such as plane selection red, more significant bit plane, to invest an image and convolution close type, defined a silhouette that allowed to develop a mathematical algorithm that generated an electrical signal in USB serial port of the computer, where it is physically connected a hardware platform Arduino that active the alarm.This platform choice is due to the fact that Matlab has a group of instructions for Arduino, achieving an orderly communication between computer and interface. The techniques used recognized 62.5 % of the events described in the surveys carried out and which aren’t mentioned in similar research topics. To achieve the objective was necessary to analyze a picture per second.
