Full textThe aim of this mini-dissertation is to map out the nature of these contested knowledges of the Prestwich Street dead, and to describe and analyse the struggles of dominance and resistance these different ways of knowing gave rise to. My argument throughout is that out of the clashing of these knowledges emerged a frontier - a discursive space of conflict and turbulence that came into being with the surfacing of the dead, and dissipated with an official decision to prevent basic anatomical research on their skeletal remains. If this discursive battle and this frontier opened up the post-apartheid public sphere to new and emergent (South) African identities, then it also closed down the public sphere with the further entrenchment of particular disciplinary identities and formations, namely archaeology, physical anthropology, development, and heritage resources management.

Full textIn Study 2, the Good and Poor Readers tested in Study 1 and a hearing control group (6 women and 8 men) were tested on three lexical decision tasks. Two tasks tested use of phonology in word recognition (spelling-sound correspondence, pseudohomophone tasks) and a third task tested use of sign lexical knowledge (signability task). Across all tasks, the deaf Good Readers were as fast and as accurate as the Hearing Readers, whereas the Poor Readers were slower and made more errors than the other groups. The Poor Readers displayed similar patterns of performance to the Good Readers on the spelling-sound and pseudohomophone tasks. Neither deaf group showed much evidence of using phonological processing whereas the hearing control group did. The Poor Readers showed evidence of using sign lexical knowledge on the signability task.
These results together suggest that underdeveloped signed language skills may be a more important factor in the low reading levels of the deaf signing population than word recognition skills.

Full textEn la época moderna, las grandes religiones monoteístas –judaísmo, cristianismo e islam– pueden dar la impresión de ser anacrónicas, pues por sus principios y sus rituales parecen pertenecer al medioevo. Una breve consideración de la historia de la ciencia occidental, ciertamente marcada por la filosofía primera y efectuada la división en sus tres épocas –antigua, medieval y moderna–, parece confirmarlo. Como principio del pensamiento medieval puede considerarse al Uno, reconocido por Plotino como condición necesaria de toda multiplicidad y que en las religiones es identificado con Dios. Con Descartes, la época moderna sustituye este principio, y al final de esta época Nietzsche afirma que ¡Dios ha muerto! ¡Dios permanece muerto! ¡Nosotros lo hemos matado!” Pero, ¿ha muerto Dios? Si la época moderna, si la Modernidad iniciada con Nietzsche ha matado a Dios, ¿quiere decir esto que también se le ha quitado la vida, la vitalidad, a las religiones monoteístas? ¿O siguen viviendo gracias precisamente a un asentimiento libre y autodeterminado a un Dios vivo que puede pensarse en relación con el mundo y los hombres?

Full textThis thesis starts by an analysis of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with jumps driven by random measures possibly of infinite activity with time-inhomogeneous compensators. Under concrete conditions that are easy to verify in applications, we prove existence, uniqueness and comparison results for bounded solutions for a class of generators that are not required to be globally Lipschitz in the jump integrand. The rest of the thesis deals with robust valuation and hedging in incomplete markets. The focus is on the no-good-deal approach, which computes good-deal valuation bounds by using only a subset of the risk-neutral measures with economic meaning (e.g. bounds on instantaneous Sharpe ratios, optimal growth rates, or expected utilities). Throughout we study a notion of good-deal hedging consisting in minimizing some dynamic risk measures that allow for optimal risk sharing with the market. Hedging is shown to be at least mean-self-financing in that hedging errors satisfy a supermartingale property under suitable valuation measures. We derive constructive results on good-deal valuation and hedging in a jump framework using BSDEs with jumps, as well as in a Brownian setting with drift uncertainty using classical BSDEs and with volatility uncertainty using second-order BSDEs. We provide new examples which are particularly relevant for actuarial and financial applications. Under ambiguity about the real-world measure, a worst-case approach under multiple reference priors leads to good-deal hedging that is robust w.r.t. uncertainty in that it is at least mean-self-financing uniformly over all priors. This yields that good-deal hedging is equivalent to risk-minimization if drift uncertainty is sufficiently large.

Full textThis study is a comparative study based on how Fredrich Nietzsche and his God is dead may be significant for how developers and consumers perceive cookies in the browser. The goal of the study is that through Fredrich Nietzsche's eyes examine how cookies death affect the browser and with that knowledge problematize the use of cookies in webapplications. The study is based on the question: How are cookies perceived as a being with power at its disposal? By looking at how cookies are currently being used for purposes other than the basic idea they once had, it is possible to see how cookies reliability today is doubtful. Cookies that have long dominated the development of applications on the Internet appears today in many forums as a threat to privacy and security. Cookies that were once a symbol of security and robust applications is undergoing a change and therefore can no longer serve as a meaningful vehicle for the whole world of Internet users. The study demonstrates that no pro or con arguments can be made that alone will tell if we are to retain cookies or not. However, God is dead serve as an approach to consider cookies as a holder of power because the developers as well as consumers are affected by the death of cookies.

A historiografia do teatro brasileiro, pouco a pouco, vem ganhando novos contornos e novas análises. Num primeiro momento, esteve vinculada à crítica literária, depois passou a ter vida própria e se solidificou. Ainda que tenhamos muitas maneiras de registrar a cena, o teatro continua uma arte da presença, o que dificulta sua captura. O historiador, por sua vez, faz escolhas, recortes e constrói caminhos. O objetivo deste estudo é discutir as práticas e as ideias teatrais de Flávio de Carvalho, já que seus experimentos e escritos estão inseridos num momento decisivo para o teatro no Brasil, que é a sua modernização com o início dos anos de 1920, com Renato Vianna e Álvaro Moreyra na proa e sua consolidação décadas depois. Flávio de Carvalho com o Teatro Experiência e com a montagem do espetáculo O Bailado do Deus Morto, com a Experiência N° 2 e com a Experiência Nº 3, por exemplo, já reivindica, a partir dos anos de 1930, um teatro feito para a cena e para o ator. A iluminação, o cenário, o texto e o corpo do ator, enfim, passam a ser pesquisados fora da hierarquia convencional que tinha na tríade texto, ator principal e empresário a espinha dorsal de um espetáculo. Por isso, considero que a análise das ideias e das práticas teatrais de Flávio de Carvalho à luz da história e da estética pode abrir novos espaços e sugerir novos modos de olhar nossa história teatral.

Historicamente e culturalmente, corpos mais pesados foram por vezes considerados sinônimos de beleza, fortuna e até saúde. Recentemente, apesar da natureza obesificante das sociedades neoliberais, que nos oferece uma grande variedade de comidas industrializadas, além de exigir que tenhamos uma vida mais sedentária, o indivíduo magro e autorregulado é de grande valor. Autoridades públicas, como governos, instituições de saúde e profissionais da medicina, refletem as crenças da sociedade ao aprovar a conexão entre gordura e falta de saúde. O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar leis brasileiras e da União Europeia que tratam de sobrepeso e obesidade para compreender como esses dois conceitos e a relação entre peso e saúde são discursivamente construídos. Para tal, foram utilizados conceitos da Análise Crítica do Discurso e categorias analíticas de Legitimação no Discurso, propostas por Van Leeuwen (2007). Os resultados revelaram que a legislação brasileira não define claramente o que é obesidade, fazendo com que se torne um termo vago, dando margem a interpretações socais e culturais ao invés de considerar explicações biológicas, médicas e socioeconômicas. Também foi possível concluir que a abordagem do sistema legal da União Europeia acerca da obesidade é focada em hábitos alimentares e atividade física, ou seja, em prevenção, enquanto o sistema legal brasileiro refere-se à obesidade principalmente em termos de diagnóstico e tratamento. Por fim, este estudo revelou que o normalizado atualmente é a noção de que a obesidade é resultado de escolhas individuais, de hábitos alimentares ruins e um estilo de vida sedentário e inativo. Além disso, as autoridades escolhem ignorar outros fatores nocivos à saúde e, em oposição, recorrem a instruir indivíduos a monitorar seus hábitos de alimentação, exercício e vida em geral.
Abstract : Historically and culturally, heavier bodies have been considered a synonym of beauty, wealth and even health. More recently, despite the obesifying nature of neoliberal societies, which provide us with a wide variety of industrialized/fast/processed food, but also requires that we lead a more sedentary life, the thin self-regulating individual is of high value. Public authorities, such as governments, health institutions and medical practitioners, reflect society?s beliefs by endorsing the connection between fatness and unhealthiness. The objective of this study is to analyze Brazilian and European Union laws regarding overweight and obesity in order to understand how these two concepts and the relation between weight and health are construed through discourse. In order to do that, I rely on Critical Discourse Analysis and the Legitimation in Discourse framework proposed by Van Leeuwen (2007). The results revealed that the Brazilian legislation does not clearly define obesity and, by doing so, makes it a vague term, leaving room for discursive, social and cultural interpretations, rather than relying on biological, medical and socio-economic explanations. The analysis also indicates that the approach of the European Union legal system towards obesity is focused on eating habits and physical activity, that is, on prevention, while the Brazilian legal system addresses obesity primarily in terms of diagnosis and treatment . Finally, the study revealed that what is normalized nowadays is the notion that obesity is the result of the individuals' choices, of bad eating habits and sedentary and inactive lifestyles. Moreover, the authorities choose to ignore other factors that are harmful to health and, instead, rely on instructing individuals to monitor their eating, exercising and living habits.

Full textThe productive chain of the sugar-energy sector is of great importance to the development of the country, reaching almost 2% of PIB. An important contribution of the sugar-energy sector to the current Brazilian economy is relative to the production of renewable energy. In Brazil\'s primary energy matrix, renewable energy accounts for an important 46.9% share compared to 6.1% that the OCDE countries consume, and is even larger than the share of renewable energy consumed in the world (13.2%). Of the 46.9% of Brazilian energy consumed, 18.8% is derived from sugarcane, followed by 13.9% hydroelectric power and 10.2% coal. The increase in technical efficiency is a relevant factor for the competitiveness of the sector and, although Brazil occupies a prominent position in the production of bioenergy, the sugar and ethanol mills have been facing a crisis culminating with a retraction of the production and the closing of several industrial plants. Industrial technical efficiency is the main performance indicator of a sugar and ethanol plant, and can be translated as the percentage of cane sugar that is recovered and processed into sugar, ethanol and other products. Thus, given the current crisis of the sector, increased competition and optimization of productivity, productive units need to increase their efficiency in relation to the use of inputs. In order to contribute to the improvement of the efficiency and competitiveness of the sugar and ethanol plants, the general objective of this thesis was to propose a good operating practice that will contribute to increase the technical efficiency of the plants. To that end, the methodological procedures used involved a quantitative and qualitative approach. In the first step, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique was used, together with the quintile analysis and truncated multilinear regression, so that it was possible to perform an analysis of the information from the database used and provided by a company in the region of Piracicaba. In a second moment, a case study was carried out at a mill considered efficient in the region of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, and an interview with two experts on sugar and ethanol production processes aimed at understanding why certain plants are more efficient than others. Finally, the information from both stages was cross-referenced and analyzed, leading to the proposal of good operational practices, which are likely to increase technical efficiency and consequently increase competitiveness in the sugar and ethanol plants.
