Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a new edition of the Preface and Books 1-8 of Pseudo-Arcadius’ Epitome of Herodian’s Περὶ καθολικῆς προσῳδίας. It includes an introduction, critical apparatus, apparatus of parallel passages and notes on the text, and is intended as a contribution to modern Herodianic studies. Most of our knowledge of Greek accentuation is due to Herodian’s lost Περὶ καθολικῆς προσῳδίας. The main sources for this work, an epitome misattributed to Arcadius and another by John Philoponus, do not have modern critical editions. Lentz’s only collected edition of Herodian’s works (1867-70) is difficult to work with, because Lentz attempts to reconstruct Herodian’s work rather than to lay out the surviving evidence. The new critical edition of Pseudo-Arcadius’ Epitome is a response to the need for new and separate editions of the sources for the Περὶ καθολικῆς προσῳδίας. A new edition of this text is important because the previous two editions (Barker 1820, Schmidt 1860) have many weaknesses; neither editor examined all the surviving manuscripts, and they did not read the manuscripts themselves but used copies made by other people. My new examination of all the surviving manuscripts, excepting some very late and uncontroversially derivative manuscripts, comes to a new conclusion about their interrelations. The two manuscripts which I am the first to employ turn out to be the only non-derivative manuscripts, and therefore by far the most important. They enable us to improve the text significantly. My introduction includes a substantial new evaluation of the interpolated or doubtful sections in the epitome, whose study is impeded by confusion as to their date and relationships to other works. It also discusses the authorship of this epitome, and its grammatical terminology and concepts. Another innovation is the apparatus of parallel passages. The collection of other texts that have derived material from Herodian shows the extent of Herodian’s influence on later grammatical texts. The parallel passages, as witnesses to Herodian’s text in some form, often enable us to correct the text of Pseudo-Arcadius’ Epitome. A further contribution of my thesis consists of the commentary, which discusses corrupt passages, features of the text that have never been explained before, and places where specific details of the epitomator’s methods can be identified. The commentary also provides argumentation supporting decisions taken in editing the text, and other helpful information for the understanding of the text.

Full textAbstract:
Le thème de l’Arcadie figure dans un grand nombre du jardins au XVIIIe siècle. Le tableau de Poussin Les Bergers d’Arcadie et la formule Et in Arcadia Ego sont indissociables, de nos jours, à la vision du locus Arcadie. Cependant, il n’y a aucune preuve que notre réception actuelle du tableau corresponde aux intentions de Poussin, ni à la vision du locus au XVIIIe siècle. Une appréciation de la réception du thème de l’Et in Arcadia Ego et de ses variantes au XVIIIe siècle s’avère utile, afin de comprendre la reprise de ce thème par les jardiniers de l’époque. Nous proposons d’examiner en détail l’évolution dans le temps de ce thème, dans la peinture, dans la poésie et dans les jardins. Nous mènerons un recensement des membres étrangers de l’Accademia degli Arcadi de Rome et de leurs jardins. Cette académie, à ses origines, était une association de poètes qui se réunissaient dans les jardins ou en plein air à la campagne afin décomposer et de réciter leurs œuvres, souvent liées aux thèmes de la nature. Nous sommes partis de l’hypothèse que cette académie serait l’un des vecteurs possibles de la diffusion du thème arcadien en Europe aux XVIIIe siècle. Les jardins que nous examinerons, tous au thème de l’Et in Arcadia Ego,appartiennent ou furent conçus, en dehors de l’Italie, par un Pastor ou Pastorella d’Arcadia (un membre de l’Accademia degli Arcadi)The arcadian theme is prevalent in a large number of eighteenth-century gardens. Poussin’s painting TheArcadian Shepherds and the enigmatic ‘Et in Arcadia Ego’ are now indissociable from our vision of thelocus Arcadia. Nevertheless, there is no proof that our actual reception of the image corresponds to Poussin’s intentions, or to the vision of this locus in the eighteenth-century. An appreciation of thereception of the theme of Et in Arcadia Ego and it’s eighteenth-century variants is useful, in order tounderstand the adoption of the theme by the gardeners of the period. We propose to examine in detail it’sevolution over time, in painting, poetry and landscape. We will conduct an identification and census of theforeign (non-Italian) members of the Accademia degli Arcadia of Rome and their gardens. This academy, atit’s origin, was an association of poets who met in gardens and in the surrounding countryside in order tocompose and recite their work, which dealt frequently with themes from nature. We are working under thehypothesis that this academy was a possible vector for the propagation of the arcadian theme in theeighteenth century garden. The gardens which we examine in detail each deal specifically with the theme ofEt in Arcadia Ego and apart from two exceptions are either created by, or in collaboration with, a foreignArcadian Pastor or Pastorella.(designation of a member of the Accademia degli Arcadi)

Full textAbstract:
It is generally acknowledged among scholars in the field of Late Antiquity that relations
between the Roman and Iranian Empires reached its climax in the early fifth century. Countless
sources report a variety of co-operative events depicting positive dealings between the Iranian
shah Yazdgird and the Roman emperors Arcadius and Theodosius II. On the other hand, there
exist just as many accounts that Yazdgird persecuted the Christians of his realm towards the end
of his life. We are thus left with opposing narratives about the Iranian monarch, and no
clarification about what truly transpired.
This thesis seeks to clarify the ambiguities surrounding Yazdgird‟s reign. In order to
achieve this goal, the events and circumstances that led to the apogee of Roman-Iranian relations
is first retraced. An examination of potential sources of tension follows this, with the thesis
culminating in the final chapter directly engaging the question of whether Yazdgird persecuted
the Christians of his realm or not.
The focus of this study is not solely to answer the question outlined above, but also to
analyze and revise the entire topic utilizing a more holistic approach. Recent scholarship on East
Syrian Christianity and the Sasanian Empire aided in providing alternative perspectives to the
traditionally unilateral Roman views of the outlined issues. These different viewpoints in turn
helped shape new interpretations and conclusions concerning the apogee and decline of RomanoIranian relations in the early fifth century.

Full textAbstract:
Dans Arcadia de Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586), les représentations de la nature témoignent de la richesse de l’univers artistique de l’auteur. Le titre de l’œuvre suggère que le socle esthétique sur lequel repose la mimesis sidnéienne est ancré dans l’imitation de la tradition poétique pastorale. L’imitation littéraire est certes au cœur du processus de création sur lequel repose la composition de l’œuvre. Cependant, le texte de Sidney est bien plus qu’une autre Arcadie littéraire inspirée des Bucoliques de Virgile ou de L’Arcadie de Jacopo Sannazaro. Le texte fait s’imbriquer les récits héroïques qui empruntent à l’épopée les repères esthétiques sur lesquels reposent l’évocation du locus terribilis, vision antagoniste du locus amoenus. L’œuvre est donc animée par une passion pour la fiction au point que la littérature et la lecture se substituent à l’intrigue en tant que sujet même de l’œuvre. Cette conception de la création littéraire comme acte réflexif imprègne la représentation de la nature qui devient donc dans certains passages un texte dans le texte, une nature textualisée. Le champ de la réflexivité s’étend à d’autres domaines de la création artistique et notamment aux arts plastiques dont l’esthétique informe à la fois la représentation de la nature et la matière verbale de l’œuvre. L’affinité entre les formes verbales et les formes visuelles est sous-tendue par une esthétique commune que l’on doit replacer dans le contexte du mouvement du maniérisme. Paradoxalement, l’unité de cette œuvre protéiforme réside dans sa fragmentation dont résulte une esthétique du détail. L’énergie créative de l’auteur s’illustre en effet dans la représentation de petites natures dont l’esthétique témoigne de la beauté de son univers artistiqueIn Philip Sidney’s Arcadia, the representations of nature testify to the diversity and wealth of the author’s artistic world. The title of the literary work suggests that the aesthetic foundations on which the Sidneyan mimesis lies are rooted in the imitation of the pastoral poetic tradition. Literary imitation lies at the core of the creative process from which the text proceeds. Yet, Philip Sidney’s work goes beyond the vision of nature as locus amoenus associated with Virgil’s Bucolics or Jacopo Sannazaro’s own Arcadia. The text features embedded narratives recounting heroic tales which draw on the epic literary tradition and lead to the representation of nature as locus terribilis. The passion for fiction with which Arcadia is imbued leads to a shift from the plot to the essence of literature as the main focus of Sidney’s work. This conception of literary creation as a reflexive praxis pervades the representation of nature which, in parts of the text, becomes a text within the text, a textualized nature. The spectrum of the reflexive dynamics encompasses several artistic areas including the plastic arts which inform both the aesthetics of the representation of nature and that of the verbal matter. The correspondences between the visual forms and the verbal ones spring from a common aesthetics which ties to the artistic context of mannerism. Paradoxically, the unity of this multifarious work lies in its fragmented dimension from which derives an aesthetics of the detail. Indeed, the illustration of author’s creative energy resides in the depictions of a small-scale nature and minute details which illustrate the beauty of his artistic environment

Full textAbstract:
This thesis starts from the point of departure that Sidney's claim in his Defence of Poetry that the purpose of literature is to delight and instruct a given audience is both an accurate and important guiding principle behind the creation of his two Arcadias. By their author's criteria, Sidney's works seek not only to provide diverting images of a fictive world, but to insure that these images serve some specific moral, didactic purpose. The manner in which Sidney goes about achieving this end is, however, less simplistic than the ordinary understanding of didactic literature connotes. The most historically determined aspect of the Arcadia 's didacticism is its extensive and strategic deployment of rhetorical figuration. Rhetoric in Sidney's Renaissance England represented both a vital tool in the smooth running of political life and a signpost of literary genius. The Arcadia thus manipulates specific rhetorical figures and tropes both to demonstrate the great literary skill of its author as well as to depict an ethical and political ideal. Part One of the thesis first investigates the history of rhetorical theory and its impact on the reputation of Sidney's work. It then goes on to explore particular rhetorical devices employed most frequently and significantly in the Old and New Arcadias, drawing comparisons between the versions as to underscore the differences in stylistic procedure and dramatic content of each work. Other aspects of Sidney's rhetoricism, such as his treatment of paradox and his rhetorical character portrayal, are also studied in an effort to gauge the major differences between the Old and New Arcadias. The overall conclusions drawn indicate that Sidney adapts his rhetorical strategy to accommodate a more complex and mature vision of ethical behaviour in his revised work. The other key aspect of Sidney's didacticism is his self-conscious and contentious depiction of gender roles. That is, Sidney plays off varying aspects of traditionally gender-associated behaviour to portray his own vision of an heroic ethical ideal. For example, the Amazon and the transvestite become vehicles through which to explore aspects of femininity that are for Sidney wholly in concord with manifestations of heroism. Moreover, Sidney subverts traditional gendered conceptions of particular vices and virtues to illustrate a liberal attitude toward the potentialities of women and men. Part Two, then, is dedicated to drawing out Sidney's understanding of gender roles as they reflect and demonstrate his unique vision of an heroic ideal. The observations made about the rhetorical and gendered dimensions of Sidney's didacticism are brought together in the conclusion, where Sidney's rhetoric is situated within the context of gender. In other words, the gendered conception of Sidney's particular brand of rhetoric is brought to the fore and poised within the ethical framework it embodies.

Full textAbstract:
Dédiée à la poésie pastorale et critique envers l’exubérance du style baroque du siècle précédent, l’Arcadie est fondée le 5 octobre 1690 à Rome par l’initiative de quatorze hommes de lettres qui fréquentaient l’Académie Royale de Christine de Suède et l’académie romaine des Infecondi. Giovan Mario Crescimbeni (1663-1728), premier gardien général de l’Arcadie, donne à cette académie une dimension péninsulaire par la création d’implantations locales nommées colonies, fondées par initiatives individuelles d’académiciens dans de nombreux centres urbains italiens, et plus ponctuellement dans d’autres villes d’Europe, et ce dès 1692 à Arezzo. L’originalité de l’Arcadie réside dans sa capacité à établir un vaste réseau institutionnel à l’échelle de la péninsule et d’unir un groupe de plus de 9 600 hommes et de femmes de lettres entre 1690 et 1800 : comment le modèle arcadique s’est-il adapté aux divers contextes locaux et de quelle façon les initiatives individuelles ont-elles organisé la création et la pérennisation des colonies ? Comment l’Arcadie œuvre-t-elle à la constitution des « milieux intellectuels » locaux en proposant une formalisation des groupes lettrés par les colonies ? En quoi l’académie d’Arcadie réussit-elle à associer des milliers d’hommes et femmes de lettres des divers centres urbains italiens, et d’Europe, dans un contexte intellectuel de désir de coopération des lettrés italiens ? Quels sont les effets de ce réseau sur la production de livres et la circulation de textes à l'échelle de la péninsule ? Cette thèse se propose d’étudier l’Arcadie par différentes approches, du niveau local aux échelles péninsulaire et européennes, à partir des quelques milliers de lettres échangés entre l’Arcadie romaine et les coloniesDedicated to pastoral poetry and critical of the exuberance of the Baroque style of the previous century, the academy of Arcadia was founded in Rome on 5 October 1690 by the initiative of fourteen men of letters who attended the Royal Academy of Christine of Sweden and the Roman academy of the Infecondi. Giovan Mario Crescimbeni (1663-1728), the first General Guardian of the Arcadia, gave this academy a peninsular dimension through the creation of local settlements called colonies, founded by individual initiatives of academics in many Italian urban centres, and more occasionally in other European cities, as early as 1692 in Arezzo. The originality of Arcadia lies in its ability to establish a vast institutional network on the scale of the peninsula and to unite a group of more than 9,600 men and women of letters between 1690 and 1800: how did the Arcadian model adapt to the various local contexts and how did individual initiatives organize the creation and perpetuation of the colonies? How did Arcadia work to build up local intellectual circles by proposing a formalisation of literary groups by the colonies? In what way did the Academy of Arcadia succeed in bringing together thousands of men and women of letters from the various Italian urban centres, and from Europe, in an intellectual context of desire for cooperation among Italian scholars? What are the effects of this network on the production of books and the circulation of texts throughout the peninsula? This thesis proposes to study Arcadia through different approaches, from the local level to the peninsular and European scales, based on the several thousand letters exchanged between Roman Arcadia and the colonies
Dedicata alla poesia pastorale e critica dell'esuberante stile barocco del secolo precedente, l'Arcadia è fondata il 5 ottobre 1690 a Roma, su iniziativa di quattordici letterati che si frequentavano all'Accademia Reale di Cristina di Svezia e all'Accademia romana degli Infecondi. Giovan Mario Crescimbeni (1663-1728), primo custode generale dell'Arcadia, dà a questa accademia una dimensione peninsulare creando insediamenti accademici locali chiamati colonie, fondati per iniziativa individuale di accademici in vari centri urbani italiani, e più puntualmente in altre città europee, già nel 1692 ad Arezzo. L'originalità dell'Arcadia risiede nella sua capacità di stabilire una vasta rete istituzionale a livello della penisola e di unire gruppi di uomini e donne di lettere nei diversi centri urbani. Questa tesi di dottorato in storia sociale si propone di indagare come si sia costituita la rete istituzionale dell'Arcadia, di dimensione regionale e tran-statale, a partire dagli uomini e dalle donne di lettere che l'hanno formata, tra il 1690 e il 1800: come si sia adattato il modello arcadico ai diversi contesti locali e in che modo alcune iniziative individuali abbiano portato alla creazione delle colonie? Come l'Arcadia permette la costituzione di "milieux intellettuali" locali proponendo di formalizzare i gruppi attraverso le colonie? In che modo l’accademia dell’Arcadia riesce ad associare migliaia di uomini e donne di lettere provenienti dai centri urbani italiani, e dall’Europa, in un contesto intellettuale mosso dal di desiderio di cooperazione dei letterati italiani? Questa tesi si propone di studiare l'Arcadia attraverso diversi approcci, dal livello locale a quello peninsulare, fino a quello europeo e globale, con le migliaia di lettere scambiate tra l'Arcadia romana e le colonie

Resumo: A necessidade de identificação para a humanidade tem a sua origem na própria natureza social do homem e nos seus irredutíveis anseios de diferenciar-se dos seus semelhantes. Assim sendo e em virtude das mudanças evolutivas acontecidas nas organizações coletivas que ele integra, não pode surpreender que, nos dias atuais, exista uma notória exigência nesse sentido, dos âmbitos sociais, civis, administrativos, comerciais e penais. Nesse contexto, a determinação do gênero constitui um dos objetivos principais dos peritos médicolegistas e odontolegistas, quando responsáveis pelo exame antropológico de ossadas humanas. No presente estudo, foram utilizados 112 modelos inferiores de gesso ortodôntico tipo 3, correspondentes a igual número de pacientes, 56 do gênero masculino e 56 do feminino, assistidos na Clínica de Ortodontia do IUCEDDU, Instituto Universitario Centro de Estudio y Diagnóstico de las Disgnacias del Uruguay, localizada na cidade de Montevidéu, com idades compreendidas entre 21 e 60 anos, com o objetivo de estabelecer um método confiável para a determinação do gênero, por meio de medidas realizadas nas arcadas dentárias e aplicar as citadas à antropologia forense, como ferramentas de auxílio nos processos de investigação ou identificação. Constatou-se que das medidas e cálculos efetivados (largura mésio-distal e distância gengivo-incisal do 33 e 43; distância intercanina; índice mandibular canino; área do triângulo formado pelos segmentos A, C e B - compreendidos entre os pontos mais proeminentes na união das faces vestibular e distal dos dentes 36 e 46 e o ponto interincisivo, e a distância entre os pontos definidos para as peças 36 e 46-, e altura do mesmo - segmento H, perpendicular a B que passa pelo ponto interincisivo -), só se mostraram significativamente dimórficas a largura mésio-distal e distância gengivo-incisal do 43 e a área do triângulo. Obteve-se um modelo de regressão logística para determinar o gênero, com um grau de confiabilidade de 72,3% e uma árvore de classificação e regressão, com um de 77,7%. Concluiu-se que há possibilidades de aplicar os citados dados à antropologia forense, como ferramentas de auxílio nos processos de investigação ou identificação
Abstract: Human identification requirement has its origin in social nature of man and its irreducible wishes to differentiate itself from its peers.Therefore and in front of social evolutionary changes that happened in collective organizations, it's no wonder that nowadays, there is a noticeable demand in this sense, from social, civil, administrative, commercial and criminal areas. In this context, gender determination is a major goal of forensic medical and odontologic experts, when responsibles for anthropology examination of human remains. In this study, were used 112 inferior dental stone casts, type 3 orthodontic, of 112 patients (56 males, 56 females), assisted in the Clinic of Orthodontics IUCEDDU, Instituto Universitario Centro de Estudios y Diagnóstico de las Disgnacias del Uruguay, located in Montevideo, aged between 21 and 60 years. The aim of this research was to establish a reliable method for gender determination by means of dental arch measurements and to use them in forensic anthropology, simplificating investigation or identification process. Several measurements and calculations were made effective, such as mesiodistal width and gingivo-incisal distance of both mandibular canines (33 and 43), intercanine distance (space between the cusps of the same teeth), mandibular canine index (ratio between mesiodistal width and canine arch width or intercanine distance), area of the triangle bounded by the segments A (from the most proeminent point of the angle formed by the tangents of the buccal and distal faces of the left first molar, to the interincisor point), C (from the most proeminent point of the angle formed by the tangents of the buccal and distal faces of the right first molar, to the interincisor point), and B (the distance between the same points of the first molars), and segment H (height or altitude of the triangle, perpendicular to B, passing through interincisor point). It was observed significant sexual dimorphism only at the mesiodistal width and gingivo-incisal distance of right canine (43), and the area of the triangle. The authors obtained a logit regression model to determine the gender with a degree of reliability of 72,3% and a classification and regression tree with a reliability rate of 77,7%. It was concluded that these data can be applied in forensic anthropology, as auxiliary tools in the investigation or identification process

À l’heure présente, la communauté scientifique des sciences de la Terre, dont les travaux permettent de définir cet âge de l’Anthropocène dans lequel nous prendrions désormais pied, se voit rejointe dans sa démarche par des intellectuels, des artistes, des architectes et/ou des activistes. Beaucoup se distinguent par leur intérêt pour l’expérience, par leur goût pour l’instrumentation, les unités de mesure, les observables, les données, les capteurs… En d’autres termes, ils font leur la nécessité de se doter d’un appareil sensible, quel qu’il soit, afin de requalifier la notion de nature. Un « art comme expérience » se présente alors en tant que connaissance par expérimentation d’une situation où l’ontologie de la relation à la nature est perturbée, altérée sinon bouleversée par l’intrusion de nouveaux êtres et par la modification conséquente de l’échelle de perception et d’action des humains. Du fait des distorsions d’échelles et de temporalités impliquées dans la notion d’Anthropocène, cette connaissance ne peut qu’être enquête. Enquête dessinant de nouveaux cosmogrammes… Si le paradigme d’un art d’investigation au sein d’écologies anthropisées prend consistance, alors il nous faudra tout réévaluer de notre approche esthétique et sensible des tremblements du monde…Considering the paradigm of the inquiry (as John Dewey's theory defines it) as a specific framework in arts and design, this research analyses the sense-making capacity of art forms in revealing the Anthropocene. Because humanity enters in the age of the Anthropocene —an age defined by all-consuming modes of production and by deep alteration of the Earth equilibriums—, this research describes the ontological modes and apparatus by which arts reconnect with Nature and felt natural environment. How do practices of art and our ways of interpreting art reflect, reverberate, contest, the ecological realities that we now face, in the age of the Anthropocene?

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the study of the 19th century arcades in Beyoglu. The aim is to explore
the interrelation between the arcades of Beyoglu and their surrounding urban
structure in both of their formation and transformation processes, and to find out the
possible contributions of arcades to the transformation and recentralization process
of Đ
stanbul. The individual stories of the arcades as well as the socio-economic and political conditions are studied to find out the formation and transformation processes. Therefore the study is constructed by historical and spatial analysis. The history of arcades gives important clues about the development and transformation processes of the cities. Apart from the changes in surrounding urban structure and functioning, individual attempts in existing socio-economic environment determines the transformation. Therefore, changes in ownership along with changes in building have been taken as the basis for the study. At the end of the study, possible contributions of arcades to the urban space, derived from the tendencies and spatial opportunities were discussed and the role of arcade in redeveloping the central areas was pointed out. And this thesis showed that arcades may be the alternative to the peripheral shopping centers with their spatial possibilities and social facilities.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse vise à donner corps à la notion d'Arcadie chez Virgile en appliquant les méthodes de la stylistique et de la métrique. Souvent confondue avec l'idylle théocritéenne, ou avec l'Âge d'or, l'Arcadie, récurrente dans les trois recueils virgiliens, apparaît comme une utopie idéale mais fuyante, car échappant à toute définition homogène. Le choix de cette contrée grecque du Péloponnèse, austère et isolée, repose chez notre poète sur un substrat mythique arcadien très riche qui englobe la naissance du lyrisme, les récits archéologiques des temps primitifs de l'homme, et l'aspiration à l'otium pastoral, au moment où grondent les guerres civiles. La croyance dans les origines arcadiennes de Rome, diffusées par les légendes oenotriennes, était attestée par les historiens contemporains. Virgile choisit donc de représenter une Arcadie latine, qui sera une chance nouvelle pour l'Italie. Cette Arcadie, qui naît comme un manifeste poétique dans les Bucoliques, est une hypotypose utopique prenant en référence le lyrisme de Pan, c'est-à-dire une poésie de l'éloge à la vie, fondée sur l'enchantement de la forêt, sur l'écho et l'illusion, sans que soient négligées pour autant les souffrances humaines. Cette polyphonie de la nature va au-delà des habitudes de la poésie antique narrative, et l'on peut parler à son sujet de poésie pure, au sens moderne. Mais Virgile entend aussi construire son Arcadie : il lui donne une dimension sociale, basée sur le travail agricole, et capable d'assurer le bien-être ; il refonde enfin Rome sur le mythe d'Evandre, précurseur d'Auguste, pour effacer le fratricide originel, et croire en un renouveau des temps. L'Arcadie est ainsi une utopie active profondément inscrite dans la pensée de Virgile qui présente sur ce point une évolution continue et cohérenteThis thesis aims at giving shape to the notion of Arcadia in Virgils works by applying the methods of stylistics and metrics. Often merged with the Theocritean idyll, or with the Golden age, Arcadia, recurring in three Virgilian poetic collections, appears as an ideal but elusive utopia, because of escaping any homogeneous definition. The choice by our poet of this part of the Greek country of Peloponnesus, austere and isolated, is founded on a very rich mythical Arcadian substratum which contains the birth of the lyricism, the archaeological narratives of the primitive times of man, and the pursuit of the pastoral otium, as the civil wars mutter. The faith in the Arcadian origins of Rome, spread by the Enotrian legends, was attested by the contemporary historians. Virgil thus chooses to represent a Latin Arcadia, which will be a new chance for Italy. This Arcadia, which is born as a poetic manifesto in The Bucolics, is a utopian hypotyposis taking in reference the lyricism of Pan, which is a Poetry of eulogy of life, based on the forest enchantment, on the echo and the illusion, but which does not neglect, for all that, the human sufferings. This polyphony of the nature goes beyond the habits of the antique narrative poetry, and we can speak to its subject of pure poetry in the modern sense of the words. But Virgil also intends to build his Arcadia: he gives it a social dimension, based on the agricultural work, and capable of assuring the well-being; he eventually refounds Rome on the myth of Evander, precursor of August, to erase the original fratricide, and to believe in a revival of times. Thus, Arcadia is an active utopia, profoundly registered in Virgils thought, which presents on this point a continuous and coherent evolution

Our own American past has an invaluable lesson to teach us: a coherent, workable landscape evolves where there is a coherent definition not of man but of man's relation to the world and his fellow man. sk{81} rm John Brinckerhof JacksonThis thesis endeavors to give evidence of the Arcadian vision, of a synthetic view of nature and humanity, as it has been understood in the evolving settlement patterns of American civilization over the last 350 years. This thesis suggests that the Arcadian vision is still very much a part of the American psyche and awaits reinterpretation. Evidence is given of how this reinterpretation is already taking place in the urban landscape of America. It also suggests how the Arcadian vision may provide significant clues to realizing meaningful urban and suburban growth into the 21st century expressed in a sustainable urban landscape.

El objetivo de la tesis es la elaboración de un plan de internacionalización de la empresa Arcadis en Latinoamérica, con el fin de expandir sus operaciones en algún mercado atractivo de la región. Actualmente la compañía presenta operaciones en Chile, Perú y Brasil en Latinoamérica, por lo que es atractivo para la empresa posicionarse en la región a partir de nuevas inversiones hacia otros mercados. La compañía tiene unos ingresos brutos de más de US$ 3.000 millones y una rentabilidad de su patrimonio cercana al 19%. Actualmente la empresa está bien posicionada en Chile, siendo top 5 en su rubro y top 10 a nivel global. Posee más de 28.000 empleados a nivel mundial y en Chile cuenta con una dotación cercana a los 500 profesionales. En Latinoamérica existen oportunidades reales y atractivas para seguir un plan de expansión, principalmente ligado al rubro de la minería, infraestructura y energía. Dentro de los países más destacados se encuentra Colombia, país que en los últimos 10 años ha ingresado con fuerza al mercado mundial gracias a su apertura de mercado, incentivos para la inversión extranjera, su estabilidad local y sus tratados de libre comercio TLC firmados con importantes país del orbe. Actualmente Colombia se encuentra en un plan de modernización de su infraestructura, lanzando un plan de concesiones para mejorar la logística y trasporte del país, con una inversión en los próximos años de más de US$20.000 millones. Esta es una oportunidad para iniciar una internacionalización al país y aprovechar la demanda de ingeniería cada vez más compleja que se tendrá en Colombia. La forma de entrada propuesta al mercado colombiano es a través de la adquisición de una consultora de infraestructura local, con el fin de aprovechar el conocimiento del mercado interno, así como también de los profesionales expertos con el fin de comenzar operaciones bajo el alero de Arcadis. El plan de marketing deberá jugar un rol primordial para posicionar la marca en la industria y poder expandir las operaciones a otras áreas demandadas como es la minería. La evaluación económica realizada resultó ser rentable, bajo un horizonte de 9 años, a partir de la adquisición de la empresa local (año 0). Con una inversión inicial en torno a los US$650.000, una tasa de descuento de 24% y un periodo de retorno de la inversión de 6 años, sugieren un buen inicio para comenzar operaciones en Colombia. Por lo descrito anteriormente, se recomienda iniciar un estudio exhaustivo sobre el mercado colombiano, y posteriormente la ejecución del plan de internacionalización de Arcadis hacia Colombia.

Previous issue date: 2015-10-02Walking through the São Paulo galleries is always contemplative and instigating, and the awakened sense to think about the distant past, which traces its origins, was the inspirational tone of the development of this investigative work, comparing that aims to identify such sites in the presence of some featured character reported by Walter Benjamin in work "Das Passagen- Werk". The writings of the german philosopher, which describe actors and scenarios for the end of the nineteenth century, we still provide elements for the historical background that frames the arcades and their proliferation in the western world, the grands magasins, the french influence, the formation of trade and the modernity in the São Paulo city, and the birth of department stores and shopping centers considering the cultural aspects and consumption observed in these typical commercial buildings present in the centre of the state capital, remembering the decades passed until we get the twenty-first century. The theoretical framework seeks support in the texts of various authors, notorious researchers in the proposed duo: culture and consumption, without abdicate the learning of basic fundamental social sciences. In empirical basis for the necessary research, the galleries were chosen from a generalist approach, including its location and the products and services offered to the people, groups and usual tribes. From the analysis of the interviews carried out with the goers and current owners, in addition the answers linked to now, has allowed fetched interconnection with the ancient, aiming to build a tenuous bridge time, material and personal, which almost abstract way, take us to the desired result, lighted by the similarity of both cities
Caminhar pelas galerias paulistanas é sempre contemplativo e instigante, e o sentido desperto de refletir sobre o passado longínquo, remetendo às suas origens, foi o tônus inspirador da consecução deste trabalho investigativo e de comparação que pretende identificar em tais locais a presença de alguns personagens caracterizados nas passagens parisienses por Walter Benjamin na obra Das Passagen-Werk . Tais escritos do filósofo alemão, descritivos de atores e cenários relativos ao final do século XIX, nos fornecem elementos para a trajetória histórica emoldurada nas arcadas e sua proliferação no mundo ocidental, os grands magasins, a influência francesa, a formação do comércio e a modernidade na cidade de São Paulo, além do surgimento das lojas de departamento e shopping centers, considerando-se os aspectos culturais e de consumo observados nestas típicas edificações comerciais presentes no centro da capital paulista, rememorando as décadas passadas até chegarmos ao século XXI. A estruturação teórica busca apoio nos textos de vários autores, notórios pesquisadores do duo proposto: cultura e consumo, sem abdicar da erudição dos teóricos fundamentais das ciências sociais. Em base empírica, para a pesquisa necessária, as galerias foram escolhidas a partir de uma abordagem generalista, englobando sua localização e os produtos e serviços oferecidos às pessoas, grupos e tribos habituais. A análise das entrevistas efetuadas com os frequentadores e proprietários atuais, além das respostas vinculadas ao momento, possibilitou a buscada interligação com o antigo, visando construir uma tênue ponte temporal, material e pessoal, que de forma quase abstrata, nos leve ao resultado pretendido, iluminado pela similaridade das duas metrópoles

by the normal mode analysis. We are going to study the propagation, energy

relevant spatial and temporal scales in order to complete the picture. In order
to study the wave damping, we examine two physical mechanisms that may be
involved in the fast attenuation of the observed vertical coronal loop oscillations,
namely wave leakage through wave tunneling and resonant absorption. In this wok
whenever is possible, the time-dependent results are going to be compared with
known normal mode properties to gain knowledge of how both sides are related as

On the other hand, we also will investigate the use of a new technique of obtaining

them with the desired degree of accuracy thanks to several criteria based on the

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M.Sc.(Agronomy)) --University of Limpopo, 2015The changes in climate, especially poor rainfall patterns and distributions are key issues posing major agricultural challenges for food security and threaten the rural livelihoods of many communities in the Limpopo Province. Rainfall (P) is low and limited. These limited P is mostly lost through runoff and evaporation, which result in low soil moisture availability and possible crop failure. Therefore, techniques that reduce these water losses are important for improving dryland crop production and rainwater productivity (RWP). The objectives of this study were to determine the potential and effectiveness of rainwater harvesting and conservation techniques (RWH&CT’s) to conserve and improve plant available water (PAW) for dryland maize production and also determine the efficiency of the RWH&CT’s to improve dryland maize yield and RWP compared to conventional tillage (CON). The study was conducted over a period of two growing seasons (2008/09; 2009/10) using maize as indicator crop at the Towoomba Research Station of the Limpopo Department of Agriculture in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, on an Arcadia ecotope. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design, with four replications and five treatments. The five treatments used in the study were; conventional tillage (CON), No-till (NT), In-field rainwater harvesting (IRWH), Mechanized basins (MB) and Daling plough (DAL). The IRWH and DL were classified as rainwater harvesting techniques (RWHT’s), whilst MB and NT were classified as water conservation techniques. Two access tubes were installed at each treatment to measure the soil water content (SWC) at four different soil depths of 150, 450, 750 and 1050 mm using the neutron water meter. The data collected included climatic data, soil and plant parameters. The data were subjected to analysis of variance through NCSS 2000 Statistical System for Windows and GENSTAT 14th edition. Mean separation tests were computed using Fisher's protected least significant difference test. The SWC of IRWH, DAL and MB were about 510 and 490 mm higher compared to CON and NT treatment during the 2008/09 and 2009/10 seasons, respectively. The PAWT of the IRWH, MB and DAL was significantly different from the CON treatment during the 2008/09 season. For both seasons the biomass yield of the IRWH treatment was significantly different from the NT treatment, producing 23 and 50% more biomass in the 2008/09 and 2009/10 growing seasons, respectively. The grain yield under IRWH was significantly different from the NT treatment during both 2008/09 and 2009/10 seasons. The highest maize grain yield of IRWH was achieved during the 2009/10 season with 56% higher grain yield than the NT treatment. RWP from various RWHT’s were significantly different from the NT treatment. These results indicate that IRWH and DAL were 12 and 2% more effective in converting rainwater into harvestable grain yield than the CON treatment. R2 values of 68.6 and 78.4% for SWC and transpiration (Ev) were obtained when correlated with maize grain yield respectively. This indicates the importance of moisture conservation for improved dryland maize production under low P areas. Therefore, the use of appropriate RWHT’s by smallscale farmers maybe crucial to improve dryland maize production. IRWH outperformed all other treatments in terms of the soil parameters and plant parameter measured during the period of this study. Therefore, these results suggest IRWH has potential of sustaining maize yields under low rainfall conditions. Key words: Rainwater harvesting, conservation techniques, ecotope, rainwater productivity, maize yield, precipitation use efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores operatic adaptations of Orlando JR furioso in the eighteenth century, particularly as they relate to the Arcadian Academy. Whereas the seventeenth century witnessed only a handful of Furioso-themed operas, the eighteenth century was a veritable geyser of operatic Orlando; dozens of libretti were produced on the subject, leading to an eighteenth-century craze for the crazed, staged Orlando. The most celebrated and most diffused operatic adaptations of the Furioso were produced by members of the highly influential Arcadian Academy, an institution that aimed to establish a literary (and therefore social, cultural, and political) reign of good taste and reason throughout the European continent. This dissertation probes why and how Arcadians, self-proclaimed harbingers of eighteenth-century reason, were so invested in the operatic depiction of a Renaissance madman. I am interested not only in the intertextual threads of operatic Orlando that is, how librettists and composers translated sixteenth-century sensibilities to the eighteenth-century stage—but also how these intertextual threads can be read for their broad cultural resonances. Operatic Orlando, in his many permutations, is emblematic of the complexities and contradictions espoused by the Arcadian Academy, and, as such, is crucial to the shaping of an eighteenth-century ethos.
This dissertation consists of five chapters. The first chapter explores the different ways in which Arcadians understood madness, in its myriad manifestations. Rather than focusing specifically on opera, I cast a wide net in my discussion in order to holistically approach Arcadian theories and practices: through an examination of early Arcadian writings I identify threads and currents that likely formed the text/texture for the operatic Orlando craze. Chapter 2 focuses more specifically on Arcadian opera, if such a concept truly existed: drawing from the works of scholars of music history such as those of Freeman, Strohm, and Smith, I explore the conventions of eighteenth-century opera and contextualize them within the frame of the Arcadian Academy and its reform culture. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 form the analytical body of the dissertation, as they each probe the conditions and textual questions of specific adaptations of the Furioso. I consider the libretti discussed in each of these chapters to be `ur-adaptations,' in that they were each performed—and often modified—numerous times in diverse locales, serving as textual bases for many of the eighteenth-century Furioso adaptations. In these chapters I perform both historical analyses and close readings of texts, as well as musical analyses and examinations of related textual objects. Thus in Chapter 3 I read Grazio Braccioli's libretto Orlando furioso (1713) as well as his related libretto Orlando finto pazzo (1714), and explore the musical settings of composer Antonio Vivaldi as they were performed at the Teatro Sant'Angelo in Venice; in Chapter 4 I turn to Rome, with Carlo Sigismondo Capece's libretto Orlando ovvero la gelosa pazzia (1711), and follow the work to its London iteration Orlando (1733), which was set to music by George Frideric Handel; finally, in Chapter 5 I analyze Pietro Metastasio's serenata L'Angelica (1720) within the context of the court of the Holy Roman Emperor, and explore its resonances throughout Europe.

Por outro lado, os gêmeos dizigóticos compartilham 50% do seu genótipo. Estimativas de herdabilidade (h2) foram obtidas para uma série de traços oclusais em trinta e seis pares de gêmeos usando método imparcial desenvolvido para variâncias de heterogeneidade entre as zigosidades. As correlações das herdabilidades (r) não foram significativas (∝=0,05) para os traços de largura entre os caninos superiores e inferiores, largura entre os primeiros molares superiores, profundidade das arcadas superiores e inferiores, relação vertical e horizontal anterior, relação sagital entre os molares, diastemas superiores e apinhamento inferior. Porém, para a presença de diastemas inferiores e a ocorrência de apinhamento superior na região anterior das arcadas, a herdabilidade variou de 73% a 95%. Quanto as simetrias dentárias e das arcadas, dentro e entre os pares de gêmeos, os resultados indicaram a concordância (H) de até 80%, principalmente nos gêmeos monozigóticos.

Wood, Richard J. "The image of human condition : Sidney's Arcadia and the conflicts of virtue." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2012. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/6634/.
Full textAbstract:
I read Sidney’s romance, the New Arcadia, in the light of a particular ethos known as Philippism after the followers of Philip Melanchthon, the Protestant theologian. In doing so, I use a critical paradigm previously only used to discuss Sidney’s Defence of Poesy. Thus, building on the work of Robert E. Stillman, I narrow the gap that critics, such as Gavin Alexander, have often found between Sidney’s theory and literary practice. Like the Philippists, peculiarly open to the ideas of humanist scholarship, Sidney draws his philosophical precepts from an eclectic mix of sources. These various strands of philosophical, political and theological thought are accommodated within the New Arcadia, which conforms to the kind of literature praised by Melanchthon for its life-like heterogeneity and its examples of virtue. Sidney’s characters have generally been thought to symbolize a passive form of Christian Stoicism. I contend that they, in fact, respond to their misfortunes in a way that demonstrates an active outlook. Employing the same philosophy, Sidney, both in his letter intervening in Queen Elizabeth’s marriage negotiations and in his politically-interested fiction, arrogates to himself the role of court counsellor. As such, he is a model for his sister and Fulke Greville in their later roles as literary patron and courtier, respectively. The primary inheritor of Sidney’s political and cultural legacy, Robert Devereux, despite being associated with court factionalism, also draws, I argue, on the optimistic and conciliatory philosophy signified by Sidney’s New Arcadia. Sidney’s romance affirms its author’s piety, in which human fallibility is recognized and tolerated. Amphialus represents Sidney’s ethos most poignantly. An epic, martial figure, Amphialus also participates in the most dishonourable activities in the romance. Through the representation of this apparently irredeemable character, who, nevertheless, will be saved, Sidney displays his faith in God’s Providence and his own salvation.

Our understanding of entrepreneurship is fragmentary, often narrowly focused and discipline bound. Entrepreneurial theory lacks even a limiting definition of the phenomenon. As Bartlett 1988 claims, it is an intellectual onion; if you keep peeling off the layers you are left with nothing and come away in tears. This seems to suggest that entrepreneurship is a process rather than an entity. Furthermore, a major focus of entrepreneurial research has been the entrepreneur as an individual, yet paradoxically, entrepreneurship is essentially a social act. Accordingly the central argument of this thesis is that in order to understand the entrepreneur we must place entrepreneurial action in its social context, we must study the process of entrepreneurship. This study therefore endeavours to investigate the actions of the entrepreneur in one context, rurality. Consequently this study is a detailed examination of a rural environment and the interrelationships of this environment and entrepreneurs. Its purpose is to try to establish the nature of the relationships between rurality and to specify the conditions of the entrepreneurial process.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail porte sur l'etude de l'arcade dentaire chez de jeunes adultes. Il comporte deux parties: la premiere, conventionnelle, situe l'arcade dentaire dans son environnement anatomo-physiologique en rappelant son origine phylogenique, embryologique et les facteurs influencant son developpement. La seconde decrit le protocole experimental et les resultats obtenus. Menee sur 90 etudiants inscrits en deuxieme annee de chirurgie dentaire, elle a porte d'une part, sur la modelisation individualisee de la forme d'arcade, et d'autre part, sur la recherche de correlations de ces formes avec des parametres dento-maxillo-faciaux classiques. A partir d'une empreinte aux alginates de l'arcade inferieure, certains points ont ete choisis afin de reproduire la courbe sur laquelle se positionnent les dents: le bord libre des incisives, la pointe canine, et les cuspides vestibulaires des premolaires et molaires, dents de sagesse exclues. L'enregistrement des coordonnees est realise par ordinateur a partir d'une camera ccd (charge coupled device) et les donnees ainsi recueillies sont ensuite traitees par le logiciel s-plus. Ces donnees permettent de modeliser de facon individualisee l'arcade enregistree. Nous presentons les principales methodes decrites dans la litterature. Il apparait que celles-ci sont sensibles a l'influence des dents en malposition. Nous proposons ensuite des methodes qui semblent etre plus appropriees aux problemes particuliers des orthodontistes: les ajustements robustes. L'analyse statistique de chaque arcade permet de calculer un coefficient caracteristique de forme. Cet indice est compare aux indices classiquement utilises en morphologie dento-faciale

The object of this dissertation is to analyze the influence of net revenue, total shareholders' equity and long-term debt on the profitability of the value of the shares of ARCADIS, by applying methods of time series, such as unit root test, test Johansen cointegration, the vector autoregression model (VAR), vector error correction (VEC), impulse response and variance decomposition of forecast errors function. The database is quarterly from January 2000 to December 2012 According to the Johansen cointegration test, the results indicate that the series that have unit roots are all integrated of order one in level and show a relationship term between them. The coefficients in the estimated model is presented according to the literature;can also observe that the tests demonstrated a strong influence of net revenue on the share value when compared with the other variables. From the evaluations performed in this study, it can be stated that the variables are relevant to explain the variations over time in the dependent variable value of the share on the stock exchange. That paper presents an analysis of the evolution of consulting engineering companies and the increasing degree of internationalization. Highlights the relevance of the study compared with the purpose of understanding the growth of the company ARCADIS in consulting engineering and project management segment. And since expanded its market competitiveness.
O objeto dessa dissertação é analisar a influência da receita líquida, patrimônio líquido total e dívidas de longo prazo sobre a rentabilidade do valor das ações da ARCADIS, através da aplicação de métodos de séries de tempo, tais como, teste de raiz unitária, teste de cointegração de Johansen, o modelo autorregressivo vetorial (VAR), vetor de correção de erros (VEC), função impulso-resposta e decomposição da variância dos erros de previsão. A base de dados é quadrimestral no período de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2012. De acordo com o teste de cointegração de Johansen, os resultados indicam que as séries que apresentam raiz unitária são todas integradas de ordem um em nível e mostram uma relação de longo prazo entre elas. Os coeficientes obtidos no modelo estimado se apresentaram de acordo com a literatura. Pode-se observar também que os testes demonstraram uma forte influência da receita líquida sobre o valor da ação quando comparados com as outras variáveis. A partir das avaliações realizadas neste estudo, pode-se afirmar que as variáveis são relevantes para explicar as variações ocorridas no decorrer do tempo, na variável dependente valor da ação na bolsa de valores. O referido trabalho apresenta uma análise da evolução das empresas de engenharia consultiva e o crescente grau de internacionalização. Destaca-se a relevância do estudo de comparação com o propósito de entender o crescimento da empresa ARCADIS no segmento de engenharia consultiva e gerenciamento de projetos, além de analisar como se ampliou sua competitividade no mercado.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation deals with three different studies of rural women in northern Sweden and Wisconsin, USA. All three of them aim at identify and elucidate pertinent aspects of women's lives in rural areas. In the first study, The Åsele study, women's work and free time activities are in the focus of investigation. The second, The Leading Light study, deals more explicitly with obstacles and problems that women meet with when trying to improve their living conditions and, finally, the Wisconsin study deals with the ways rural women organize their everyday lives. More specifically, while all three studies assume a gender and mode-of-living perspective, cultural issues, the relations between structure- agent and questions concerning the organization of everyday life receive separate treatment. Mostly qualitative methods are used in collecting data, including interviews and essays. Also questionnaires are used in order to gain a comprehensive picture of certain areas, such as activities and aspirations within the field of leisure. In the last study a reanalysis of an archived interview material, built on oral life histories, is used. The results give a complex and nuanced picture of women's lives in these areas. The farm women in the Wisconsin study have a heavy work load and contribute in different ways to the maintenance of the family. Their productive work is, however, made invisible in official statistics. The Åsele study gives a picture of a woman, who is not demanding anything special for herself, but is adapting to the traditional gender structures. Her life is organized around her home, her husband and her children. The young women intend to leave this area, which is one of the problems that the local politicians have to deal with. In the Leading light study, finally, it is above all the male representatives at the local governmental level that impede the women's ideas and ignore their propositions for change. Despite official signals of decentralisation of decision making, the bureaucratic structures seem to strengthen at the local level. Most of the women in this study praise life in the country side. The rural ideology also comprises a positive view of this mode of living. While the rural ideology is a entire male construction, the female conditions have to be problematized. This has been done in this thesis.digitalisering@umu
