Full textThis essay analyzes and compares depictions of consumption in Karin Boye’s Astarte (1931) and Denise Rudberg’s storlek 37 (2002). The theoretical framework consists primarily of Zygmunt Bauman’s thoughts on the consumer society, as well as texts by Max Weber, Walter Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben discussing capitalism’s relationship to religion. In Astarte, religion is a prominent theme, and often used metaphorically in relation to consumption. Consumption is often depicted as replacing religion, in a way that emphasizes a resemblance between them. In storlek 37, consumption is strongly connected to identity, and functions both as a certainty and a must. The differences between the depictions in the two novels reflect the roles of consumption in two different eras: in Astarte, it is a relatively new phenomenon in its modern sense, and in storlek 37 it has become more central to human life, often occuring without reflection and perceived as a matter of course. Astarte sets out a visible critique of consumption, depicting it as an endless desire or an illusion. In storlek 37, consumption is sometimes questioned, but portrayed nevertheless as inevitable.

Full textIndustrialised countries are seeking to reduce their energy consumption and to use alternative raw materials, including renewables such as wood. To promote its use, multi-storey timber constructive systems need the development of new design methods.Building required a multicriteria design where conflicting objectives must be optimised simultaneously. Research solutions have to achieve the best Pareto-compromise between use performance and environmental impact of the building. This work aims to develop a multiobjective optimisation method of timber multi-storey building.The objectives of maximising floor vibration comfort and minimising heating needs, thermal discomfort, global warming potential and embodied energy are taken into account. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to obtain a set of non-dominated solutions which is the Pareto front. The solution space is constrained by regulatory requirements necessary for the safety of the structure. All objective-functions are modelled as analytic functions. Dynamic thermal simulation model outputs are replaced by metamodels.The developed method is implemented on a case study. The results offer a great diversity in a panel of 20 000 optimal solutions. These results provide a basis for discussion between the different actors of a construction project

Full textBiodiversity is quickly disappearing due to human impact on the biosphere, and to market pressure. Consequently, the protection of both wild and domestic species needs to become a priority in order to preserve their evolutionary potential and, ultimately, guarantee a sustainable future for coming human generations. To date, tens of methods have been proposed to prioritize biodiversity for conservation purposes. Here, an ontology for priority setting in conservation biology is provided with the aim of supporting the selection of the most opportune methodologies given specific conservation goals. Further, two case studies are presented characterizing neutral and adaptive genomic diversity in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis L.) and indigenous Ugandan cattle (Bos taurus L.), respectively. In particular, two independent domestication centres (North-western India and Indochina) and separate migration routes are suggested for the ‘river’ and ‘swamp’ water buffalo types. In the case of indigenous Ugandan cattle, the integration of species distribution modelling and landscape genomics techniques allowed the identification of PRKG1 and SLA2 as candidate genes for local adaptation to East Coast Fever, a vector-borne disease affecting bovine populations of Sub-Saharan Africa. Results are discussed for their implications in water buffalo conservation and Ugandan cattle adaptive management.

Full textChild sexual abuse is a deep social concern in South Africa. Its impact affects all areas of development, which warrants a need for appropriate therapeutic intervention. Despite a need for such an intervention, many children, especially boys from disadvantaged African communities, are still without such services. This made me wonder, as an intern-Educational Psychologist, how to help such children. In my search to help them I found that available literature does not document sexual abuse among boys, especially from disadvantaged African communities. Instead it focuses on sexual abuse among girls, women and men. Hence, this study was proposed. The aim of this study is to describe and explore, from an Educational Psychology perspective, the life stories of boys who have been sexually abused. The study presents an in-depth exploration of how the five boys in the research group made meaning of their experiences with sexual abuse. The qualitative research paradigm with a phenomenological design was followed in this study. Data was mainly collected through Narrative Therapy sessions and other complementary methods. In analyzing data, the narrative method of data analysis categorical content mode, was followed. The findings were presented as metaphorical stories, which include: The story of ‘The Rubbish’, “it mixes up my mind” and “it tears what you like”. The conclusion was that boys who have been sexually abused can be aided in their healing process through psychotherapy. Therefore, further research should be done on an appropriate psychotherapy approaches for boys who have been sexually abused and as well as on strategies to encourage the boys to report the abuse immediately. The findings of this study may be helpful to educational psychologists and other therapists working with boys who have been sexually abused.

The main purpose of the study is to investigate how two marginalized students from diverse family backgrounds adapt to the interwining environment of school and family life. In particular, it focuses on how the students' family experience affects their school experience. Drawing on qualitative research methods including the case study method, participant observation method and narrative inquiry, I closely observe the difference in school and family experience between a native Taiwanese boy and an aboriginal one in the upper level of the elementary school. Moreover, through tutoring and after-school assistance, not only do I find out the close relationship between school and family experience, but also learn the essence of inter-subjectivity.

Full textIn an increasingly interconnected and digital society, forms of consumption such as ecommerce have been steadily gaining an increased importance in the global market. This type of commerce is the secret to the success of giants such as Amazon, and its potentialities and advantages over retail have already led many consumers to adopt this modality as their main form of consumption. Furthermore, in the face of a pandemic crisis that has forced the digitalization of many businesses, and that has led to an increase in ecommerce on a global scale, we present a manual of best practices, which we consider na extremely important tool to guide new participants in the digital market and assist in the continuous improvement of the agents that operate in this market. Because of this, the objective of this internship report was to develop a manual of best practices for e-commerce. To achieve this goal, the methodology used included participant observation as an intern, an interview with the CEO of the internship institution, along with six interviews with representatives of Portuguese e-commerce stores, and two focus groups with e-commerce consumers. In formal terms, we chose to divide this manual based on seven key points of analysis that were organized in a logic of decreasing importance, in accordance with the data collected in the methodology. The findings reveal that both ecommerce store developers, and their respective consumers, see design and user experience as the most important aspects in an e-commerce store. In addition, aspects such as Google search positioning and positive word of mouth have proven to be very significant in their impact on online stores. With the presentation of this manual, we hope to create a series of guidelines and general indicators that can be consulted by e-commerce stores with the dimensions of a small to medium size company (PME) to help create or improve their presence in the digital commerce market.

Full textIn the present research, which focuses on storage conditions, we intend to conduct an approach around the new paradigms of visibility and access to the collections, due to the opening of the storage areas to the public, exploring the theme of visible storage and or visitable storage as well as the visible storage gallery or open storage system, implemented in museums. In order to a better understanding of moderns archetypes it is made a terminological synthesis of the various concepts introduced. Based on the international reality, with particular emphasis on the European situation and especially Portugal, in a preventive conservation perspective we intend to present the current practices and a benchmark of good practices to develop in this domain. We highlight the importance of the visits that were made in the context of this study, as well as the information obtained from the questionnaire prepared and sent to several international and national institutions. It is analysed as a case study the storage area of the City Hall of Matosinhos, especially the fieldwork carried out at the level of monitoring the environment conditions of the storage room, which will be of extraordinary relevance in terms of preventive conservation when it will be carried out the transition of of artworks of the autarchy in storage for the future storage space of Multifunctional Building of the Serralves Foundation in Senhora da Hora, Matosinhos. Embracing the central theme of this research was conceived a project to implement a visitable reserve in the reserve area for CMM in the Multifunctional Building in the Serralves Foundation, to build.
