Ser Lapo Mazzei (1350-1412) fu uno dei notai più legati al mercante pratese Francesco Datini (1335ca-1410). La loro corrispondenza, già pubblicata da Cesare Guasti nel 1880, è una fonte importante, perché restituisce uno spaccato significativo della vita e delle relazioni personali di un mercante e di un notaio vissuti in Toscana alla fine del Trecento. Il presente lavoro è un'edizione più rispondente alle odierne metodologie ecdotiche delle lettere di Mazzei comprese nell'arco cronologico che va dal 1390 al 1399, accompagnate da un opportuno commento. Nei capitoli introduttivi vengono approfonditi i seguenti argomenti: le biografie di Mazzei e Datini e l'analisi grafica, linguistica, stilistica, della struttura e dei principali temi trattati nelle epistole.

Mazzei's letters written to Datini, published by Cesare Guasti in 1880, are an important source because they return a significant cross-section of life and personal relations of a merchant and a notary lived in Tuscany at the end of the fourteenth century. This work is the critical edition of Mazzei's letters (1390-1399) equipped with a commentary. The introductory chapters face these subjects: Mazzei and Datini's biographies, letters' topics and structure and their graphic, linguistic and stylistic analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis begins with a cursory discussion of the Classical literary and visual sources for Renaissance uomini illustri cycles. The conveyance of these specific Classical sources to medieval France is touched upon, which leads to the rebirth of the uomini illustri genre in the guise of the chivalric NeufPreux. The discussion of the conceptual and artistic genesis of the uomini illustri genre creates an extensive time line, with some lacuna, that allows us to visualize the development of this theme right up to Renaissance Italy. A synopsis of the many uomini illustri cycles on the Italian peninsula is then given. The significance that the cycles may have embodied in relation to the environment for which they were created, as well as the meaning that they may have held for the viewer and patron is examined. Subsequently, a biography of Francesco di Marco Datini is given, touching on his early sojourn in Avignon, his activities in Italy during the construction and decoration of the Palazzo Datini, as well as his artistic patronage as a whole. Datini's friendships with the foremost humanist thinkers of the time is analyzed. This study, as well as the analysis of Francesco di Marco Datini as a merchant and a man living on the cusp between the Tre and Quattrocento, provides the context in which to visualize the creation of the uomini illustri cycle in Palazzo Datini, although the decoration of the cortile extends beyond simply the representation of historical figures to include virtues, vices, the sciences and philosophers, a trait common in other contemporary uomini illustri cycles. The complicated and diverse stages of the construction and decoration of Palazzo Datini is closely scrutinized, so that together with documentary evidence from the fecund Archivio di Stato di Prato (much of which has not been previously published) a clear reconstruction of the building of the palazzo and its decoration can be given for the first time. I discuss the careers of artists working for Datini, particularly Niccolo v di Piero Gerini, the main artist working on the extended uomini illustri cycle of Palazzo Datini. The final goal is the physical, iconographical, and conceptual reconstruction of the courtyard decoration of Palazzo Datini.

Hare, Vincent John. "Rehydroxylation dating." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2016. https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:3bf6753e-77b7-4a69-8cd6-e6a4c319fa09.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with a better understanding of issues which currently limit the precision, accuracy and robustness of rehydroxylation (RHX) dating. MC simulations and analytical expressions show that age uncertainties of previous studies are underes- timates. The ratio of sample mass to balance resolution should be of the order of 10-6 or less for measurement precision under 1%. A combined measurement uncertainty of ~ 4 % should be possible, given well-designed experiments, appropriate samples, and a t1/N model with N = 4. Highly-fired materials have an age limit of ~ Ma, but low α and ymax preclude dating materials such as porcelain. There is little correlation between non-stabilisation of m2 and factors such as porosity, specific heat capacity or density. The strongest effect is that of sample dimension (thickness), which is found to cause long times to stage II mass gain following 105 °C heating - roughly proportional to the thickness squared, suggesting some long-lived contribution from Fickian diffusion. Another strong effect is acceleration of the rehydroxylation reaction upon cooling from high temperatures, which is also dependent on sample size. This causes long times to stage II, and inaccuracies in fitting αm. Sample dimensions therefore pose a fundamental challenge for rehydroxylation dating by gravimetric analysis. Evidence is presented for a long-lived weakly-bound (T1) water regime in certain materials. A new apparatus for high-precision mass measurements of multiple samples under controlled conditions was used to investigate differences between meta-clay minerals, and to evaluate the efficiency of different pretreatments on fired clays of known age (1.1a). RHX age determinations, corrected for ELT, range from 30.1 ± 0.3 a to 1.51 ± 0.04, and some clear differences ap- pear for different meta-clay minerals. FTIR spectra indicate that treatment with 0.5M HCl at 70 °C for 30 minutes causes rehydroxylation of clay minerals, but 0.1M HCl seems suitable. Organic removal by chloroform/methanol solvent extraction or H2O2 treatment avoids alteration of structural OH, but is not as effective as supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) in the case of lipids. The RHX age determination of a sample of Werra pottery (MAN07) was 169 ± 30 a, with an activation energy of 82.7 kJ mol-1 and at an ELT of 10.5 °C, which is not in agreement with the result obtained in previous studies. The relationship between the t1/4 model and diffusion mechanisms is briefly discussed, and a discussion of the issues is entertained. Goodness-of-fit statistics are highest for a model with long-lived T1 and T2 regimes, but this mass gain behaviour is identical to that expected from an accelerated t1/4 process and slow cooling. It is therefore not possible to exclude the possibility of a t1/4 regime.

Scally, Kenneth. "Dating kerosene releases." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2013. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/27638/.
Full textAbstract:
Kerosene is a common fuel for domestic heating systems. Dating petroleum spill contamination is of considerable International Interest. An accurate determination of the age of spills is needed to inform the process of assigning legal and financial responsibility. The pollution of sons and groundwater by kerosene spills is of major concern to householders and their insurers as well as regulators. Released kerosene may persist in the soil as a source of hazardous hydrocarbons for a long time, but not as long as diesel, because of the low solubility and the moderate to low volatility of kerosene constituents. Generally, hydrocarbons in kerosene biodegrade significantly under aerobic conditions provided that sufficient amounts of essential nutrients are present. Extractable petroleum hydrocarbon (EPH) analyses by Jones Environmental laboratories Ltd of soil polluted following kerosene spills were used to develop an empirical model which considered biotic and abiotic factors found at spill sites to determine the time since the kerosene spill.

Dating relationships were examined for a sample of 156 female and 124 male college freshman. Comparison of self esteem, mastery, coping strategies, and negotiation styles were made between those who had experienced dating violence and those who had not. A theoretical framework based on the resource aspect of exchange theory is used to frame the study. Factor analysis was used to identify coping strategies and negotiation styles. Discriminate analysis was used to determine the discriminating power of the independent variables. Findings indicate that the negotiation style of Negative Affect and the coping strategies of Confrontation and Social Support discriminate between violent and nonviolent group membership.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Enquanto pronomes que vão além da codificação dos participantes de um evento denotado pelo verbo, os dativos interacionais codificam os interlocutores de uma interação no evento de fala. O objetivo desta pesquisa é descrever os processos semântico-pragmáticos envolvidos no uso dos dativos interacionais galegos. Para isso, baseei-me nos estudos de Jakobson (1936), Janda (1988, 1993), Langacker (1987, 2008), Wierzbicka (1988), entre outros, para descrever o processo de conceitualização de um evento marcado pelo caso dativo, definir um protótipo para o caso dativo e descrever algumas de suas extensões semânticas partindo do modelo teórico da Gramática Cognitiva (Langacker, 1987, 1991, 2008), da Teoria dos Protótipos (Rosch, 1973, 1978, 1999) e das discussões sobre extensões semânticas via processos de metáfora e metonímia (Lakoff, 1897; Lakoff e Johnson, 1980; Evans e Green, 2006). Os dados utilizados nesta pesquisa vieram de corpora informatizados, o TMILG Tesouro Medieval Informatizado da Lingua Galega e o TILG Tesouro Informatizado da Lingua Galega, e de gravações e anotações feitas de interações com falantes de galego. A partir desses dados, foi elaborada uma pesquisa on-line para verificar as possibilidades de usos e interpretações dos dativos interacionais. Esta dissertação mostra duas funções dos dativos interacionais: o dativo interacional de interesse e o dativo interacional de solidariedade. Ambos mapeiam a relação semântica do caso dativo para a esfera do ato de fala e se referem aos interlocutores da interação, mas o fazem de forma diferente. Enquanto o dativo de interesse indica a afetação indireta ou uma avaliação sobre o evento narrado, o dativo de solidariedade atua como um convite para o destinatário se envolver com o conteúdo do enunciado (Janda, 1988, 1993; Maldonado, 1994; Álvarez, 1997; Fried, 2011). Ao utilizar os dativos interacionais, o falante estabelece relações entre um dos interlocutores e o evento narrado. Desse modo, os pronomes dativos também podem ser marcadores de (inter)subjetividade que selecionam um participante da fala como um colaborador ou um compartilhador de opinião (Traugott, 2009; Haddad, 2013).As pronouns that go beyond the codification of participants in an event denoted by a verb, interactional datives encode the interlocutors of an interaction in the speech event. The main goal of this thesis is to describe the semantic-pragmatic processes involved in the use of Galician interactional datives. To do so, I have employed the works of Jakobson (1936), Janda (1988, 1993), Langacker (1987, 2008), Wierzbicka (1988), among others, in order to describe the process of conceptualizing an event marked by the dative case, to define the prototype associated with the dative case and to describe some of its semantic extensions, based on the Cognitive Grammar framework (Langacker, 1987, 1991, 2008), Prototype Theory (Rosch, 1973, 1978, 1999), and discussions on semantic extensions through metaphor and metonymy (Lakoff, 1897, Lakoff and Johnson 1980, Evans and Green, 2006). The data under analysis are from TMILG Medieval Treasury Computerized of Galician Language and TILG Treasury Computerized of Galician Language, and from recordings and notes collected in interactions with Galician native speakers. An online reading test was developed as to verify the possibilities of uses and interpretations of interactional datives. In this thesis, I claim the functions of Galician interactional datives are twofold: the interactional dative of interest and the interactional dative of solidarity. Both functions map the semantic relationship of the dative case onto the sphere of the speech act and refer to the interlocutors of the interaction, but in rather different ways. While the dative of interest indicates indirect affectation or an evaluation of the narrated event, the dative of solidarity acts as an invitation for the addressee to get involved with the content of the utterance (Janda, 1988, 1993, Maldonado, 1994; Álvarez, 1997; Fried, 2011). In using interactional datives, the speaker establishes a relationship between one of the interlocutors and the narrated event. In this way, dative pronouns can also be considered (inter)subjectivity markers, which select a speech participant as a collaborator or opinion sharer (Traugott, 2009; Haddad, 2013).

Aquest estudi examina l’autopresentació dels homes gais xinesos sobre l’aplicació de cites Blued mitjançant un enfocament de mètodes mixtos. Es van realitzar dos estudis. En l’estudi 1, es van recopilar i analitzar 930 perfils per obtenir una comprensió quantitativa sobre com els homes gais xinesos utilitzen elements fotogràfics i textuals per presentar-se a Blued. Per investigar encara més com i per què els homes gais xinesos es presenten visualment i textualment de determinades maneres, 30 usuaris de Blued van ser entrevistats a l’estudi 2.
Segons les conclusions de l’estudi 1, només aproximadament un terç dels perfils d’homes gais xinesos contenien, com a mínim, una foto de la cara que es pogués reconèixer als seus perfils de color blau. Es van provar les correlacions entre dades demogràfiques i divulgació facial. Els homes gais més grans tenen menys probabilitats de divulgar una foto de la cara a Blued que els gais més joves. Es van comptar les freqüències i el percentatge de masculinitat, el llenguatge corporal i esportiu i es van provar les correlacions entre la demografia i els diferents tipus d’ús del llenguatge. El percentatge de masculinitat, llenguatge corporal i esportiu utilitzat en perfils de Blued és del 37,6%, 20,9% i 6,2% respectivament. Es va trobar que l’edat, l’alçada i el pes estaven correlacionats amb diferents tipus d’ús del llenguatge. Les persones que els agrada utilitzar el llenguatge masculí són més propenses a utilitzar el llenguatge corporal i esportiu.
Els resultats de l’Estudi 2 mostren que els homes gais xinesos tenen cinc motius principals per construir un perfil Blued: buscar relacions sexuals casuals, buscar relacions romàntiques / a llarg termini, buscar amics, entreteniment i buscar comoditat fisològica. Els homes gais xinesos utilitzen una sèrie d’estratègies per construir els seus perfils: prestar atenció a les petites indicacions, equilibrar l’autenticitat i l’engany, establir la credibilitat i evitar les limitacions tecnològiques. Els homosexuals xinesos tenen diferents motius per no revelar una foto de la cara als seus perfils de Blued. La preocupació per exposar la identitat gai és el motiu més freqüentment informat. Altres motius inclouen: la característica de disseny de la plataforma, la ubicació de l’usuari, els objectius relacionals, la manca de confiança en l’aspecte personal i les preocupacions pel mal ús de les fotos. L’avaluació de la impressió dels perfils d’altres també ha impactat en la construcció del perfil Blued dels homes gais xinesos. A l’hora d’avaluar els perfils construïts per altres homes gais, els homes gais xinesos utilitzen tres estratègies: prestar atenció a les petites indicacions, filtrar i creure en un engany desenfrenat.
Aquest estudi omple el buit de la investigació sobre l’autopresentació dels homes gais xinesos en aplicacions de cites per a mòbils i indica que l’autopresentació és sensible als factors culturals i institucionals.Este estudio examina la autopresentación de los hombres homosexuales chinos en la aplicación de citas Blued utilizando un enfoque de métodos mixtos.

Para investigar más a fondo cómo y por qué los hombres homosexuales chinos se presentan visual y textualmente de ciertas maneras, se entrevistó a 30 usuarios de Blued en el estudio 2. Según los hallazgos del estudio 1, solo alrededor de un tercio de los perfiles de hombres homosexuales chinos contenían al menos una foto de rostro reconocible en sus perfiles de Blued. Se probaron las correlaciones entre la demografía y la revelación facial. Los hombres homosexuales mayores son menos propensos a revelar una foto de la cara en Blued que los homosexuales más jóvenes. Se contaron las frecuencias y el porcentaje de masculinidad, el lenguaje corporal y deportivo, y se probaron las correlaciones entre la demografía y los diferentes tipos de uso del lenguaje. El porcentaje de masculinidad, lenguaje corporal y deportivo utilizado en los perfiles Blued es del 37,6%, 20,9% y 6,2% respectivamente. Se encontró que la edad, la altura y el peso estaban correlacionados con diferentes tipos de uso del lenguaje. Las personas a las que les gusta usar el lenguaje de masculinidad son más propensas a usar el lenguaje corporal y deportivo. Los resultados del Estudio 2 muestran que los hombres homosexuales chinos tienen cinco motivos principales para construir un perfil Blued: buscar sexo casual, buscar relaciones románticas / a largo plazo, buscar amigos, entretenimiento y buscar comodidad psicológica.

This study examines Chinese gay men’s self-presentation on dating app Blued by utilizing a mixed-methods approach. Two studies were conducted. In study 1, 930 profiles were collected and analyzed to gain a quantitative understanding about how Chinese gay men utilize both photographic and textual elements to present themselves on Blued. To further investigate how and why Chinese gay men present themselves visually and textually in certain ways, 30 Blued users were interviewed in study 2. According to the findings of study 1, only about a third of Chinese gay men’s profiles contained at least a recognizable face photo in their Blued profiles. Correlations between demographics and face disclosure were test. Older gay men are less likely to disclose a face photo on Blued than younger gay men. Frequencies and percentage of masculinity, body and sport language were counted, and correlations between demographics and different types of language use were test. The percentage of masculinity, body and sport language used in Blued profiles are 37.6%, 20.9% and 6.2% respectively. Age, height and weight was found to be correlated with different types of language use. People who like using masculinity language are more likely to use body and sport language. The results of Study 2 shows that Chinese gay men have five major motives of constructing a Blued profile: looking for casual sex, looking for romantic/long term relationships, looking for friends, entertainment and seeking phycological comfort. Chinese gay men use a series of strategies to construct their profiles: paying attention to small cues, balancing authenticity and deception, establishing credibility, and bypassing technological constraints. Chinese gay men have different reasons for not disclosing a face photo in their Blued profiles. Worrying about exposing gay identity is the most frequently reported reason. Other reasons include: the design feature of the platform, location of the user, relational goals, lack of confidence in personal appearance, and concerns of photos being misused. Impression evaluation of other’s profiles have also impacted Chinese gay men’s Blued profile construction. When evaluating the profiles constructed by other gay men, Chinese gay men use three strategies: paying attention to small cues, filtering, and believing in rampant deception. This study fills the gap in the research regarding Chinese gay men’s self-presentation on mobile dating apps and indicates that self-presentation is sensitive to cultural and institutional factors.

Wilson, Elizabeth, and Ginette Blackhart. "Does Engagement in Online Dating Lead to Greater Dating Success for Rejection Sensitive Individuals?" Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2019. https://dc.etsu.edu/asrf/2019/schedule/86.
Full textAbstract:
Individuals high in rejection sensitivity have a lower rates of dating success and a lower probability of being in a romantic relationship, but could engaging in online dating improve the likelihood? The goal of this research is to determine whether individuals higher in rejection sensitivity indicate having more success in meeting potential romantic partners online when compared to meeting potential partners conventionally. It is hypothesized that individuals higher in rejection sensitivity will be more successful on first dates when initiated though online dating sites / apps rather than through more conventional ways of meeting potential romantic partners. An online survey was created asking participants to complete the Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire to evaluate the level of anxiety experienced when faced with potential rejection, the Online Dating Inventory to assess engagement in online dating, and the Conventional Offline Dating Inventory, a measure created by the researchers to assess behaviors that allow the participants to meet possible romantic partners in every day life through non-internet activities. Success is operationally defined according to the goals participants had going into the date and whether or not that goal was achieved. Data collection is still ongoing; however, we expect to see significantly more success for participants higher in rejection sensitivity when initiating through online dating websites. To ensure external validity, data are being collected from two different articipation pools. Currently the survey is being administered through Sona to reach college students and these are the data that will be presented. The survey will also be uploaded to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to reach older adults. If our hypothesis is correct, this would indicate that online dating may benefit those individuals who are high in rejection sensitivity as it could give them an alternative avenue to initiating romantic relationships and possibly finding success in those relationships.

Full textAbstract:
The current study used a Post-positivist paradigm and was quantitative in nature. In addition, it used a descriptive survey design, which utilized self-reported questionnaires. The final sample included 125 students, ages 18-20, in undergraduate psychology courses at a Southern California university. This study attempted to explore the differences between the tree types of dating violence profiles: 1) victim only, 2) perpetrator only and 3) mutually violent; however, only 37 participants completed the questionnaire, which made statistical analysis impossible. Nonetheless, this study explored differences in relation to the demographic characteristics and five variables: a) gender, b) self-esteem, c) severity of violence, d) relationship satisfaction, and e) acceptance of violence. Therefore, this study proposed that differences would be identified and used correlations to reveal any associations between the variables. It was discovered that dating violence occurred among the sample with an 87.8% prevalence rate.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis concerns different aspects of dating divergence times in phylogenetic trees, using molecular data and multiple fossil age constraints.
Datings of phylogenetically basal eudicots, monocots and modern birds (Neoaves) are presented. Large phylograms and multiple fossil constraints were used in all these studies. Eudicots and monocots are suggested to be part of a rapid divergence of angiosperms in the Early Cretaceous, with most families present at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary. Stem lineages of Neoaves were present in the Late Cretaceous, but the main divergence of extant families took place around the Cre-taceous/Tertiary boundary.
A novel method and computer software for dating large phylogenetic trees, PATHd8, is presented. PATHd8 is a nonparametric smoothing method that smoothes one pair of sister groups at a time, by taking the mean of the added branch lengths from a terminal taxon to a node. Because of the local smoothing, the algorithm is simple, hence providing stable and very fast analyses, allowing for thousands of taxa and an arbitrary number of age constraints.
The importance of fossil constraints and their placement are discussed, and concluded to be the most important factor for obtaining reasonable age estimates.
Different dating methods are compared, and it is concluded that differences in age estimates are obtained from penalized likelihood, PATHd8, and the Bayesian autocorrelation method implemented in the multidivtime program. In the Bayesian method, prior assumptions about evolutionary rate at the root, rate variance and the level of rate smoothing between internal edges, are suggested to influence the results.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an empirical study on the phenomenon of compensated dating [hereafter known as CD] in Hong Kong. It examines the lived experiences of CD participants and their self-understandings of their identities and behaviors. Drawing from formal in-depth interviews with 30 male clients and 12 young women who provided CD, cyber ethnography of a major online CD forum, informal conversations with CD participants and offline participant observations of various types of non-commercial and non-sexual social gatherings amongst groups of CD participants from the period between March 2010 and December 2012, this thesis examines why and how individuals come to be involved in CD, how they form intimacies in the context of CD and the nature of these intimacies. In the process, it illuminates the emerging social phenomenon of CD in light of the transformation of intimacy, plastic sexuality, new female and male biographies, gender relationships, the advance of information technology, and various social changes in an increasing fragmented and risky society as we enter into the world of late modernity.
This thesis argues that CD participants perceive CD as a space for practicing plastic sexuality rather than a form of prostitution. The fact that sex does not necessarily happen in CD, the dynamic interactions amongst CD participants, and the changes of conventional sexual script from a marital, reproductive and monogamous one to a non-marital, non-reproductive, recreational, non-monogamous and even emotionally indifferent one make the CD script more like the mainstream sexual script in late modernity and less like the traditional commercial sexual script. The resemblance between the CD script and modern intimacy serves as a major rationale for CD participants to justify their CD behaviors.
This thesis also argues that male clients of CD desire more than just bounded authenticity and that CD relationship is a complex and dynamic interpersonal relationship rather than a simple and static seller-buyer relationship because more often than not, CD participants extend their relationships beyond a bounded, commercial sexual context to an unbounded, non-commercial social context. This thesis examines the factors that facilitate CD participants to transform an impersonal and bounded commercial relationship to a genuine and unbounded interpersonal and/or romantic relationship.
This thesis concludes that although CD relationships may be ephemeral, precarious and founded on economic elements, so too are many conventional relationships in modern society. There is an increasing intellectual tension to demarcate between CD relations and conventional intimate relations because while the former underscores the romantic and reciprocal qualities of the later, the later also reflects the recreational, economic and unstable elements of the former. Although plastic sexuality, the transformation of intimacy and various consequences of modernity are not in themselves the causes of the emergence of CD, they do create the contexts of an environment that is favorable to the development and growth of the CD phenomenon.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
A palaeomagnetic study has been carried out on Vesuvian lava flows emplaced since 79 AD. This involved both palaeodirection and palaeointensity investigations of samples from sites on the W, S and SE slopes of the volcano. Thermal demagnetization of 3 component IRMs, susceptibility measurements and coercivity analyses have been carried out on one pilot specimen per site in order to identify the magnetic carriers and to estimate the magnetic grain size. The identificatìon of the primary direction of TRM was carried out following very stringent criteria (Incoronato, 1996). Palaeointensities were evaluated using both a modification of the Modified Thellier & Thellier method (McClelland et al., 1996) and the innovatìve microwave technique (Shaw et al., 1999). This study has shown that establishing whether or not different exposures or flows are contemporaneous can be established and, in most, but not all, cases can be undertaken successfully using magnetic information recorded by Vesuvian lavas to define the geomagnetic field direction and intensity at the time of their eruption. It is shown that numerous lava flows, outcropping on the W to S slopes of the volcano, must be associated to a large eruption in AD 1631, confirming some previous studies. A new age for a lava flow, ascribed in literature to the 1697 event, is suggested on the basis of both palaeodirection and palaeointensity investigations. Significantly different properties have been found between microwave and thermal experiments although they showed an exceptional level of agreement for the AD 1631 lava flow. In general the trend the palaeointensity variations was similar to that obtained by thermal processes for the last few centuries from other European, Mediterranean and Near East regions (Aitken et al., 1989).

Full textAbstract:
Estudos que tratam da sintaxe dos objetos indiretos (OI) no português brasileiro (PB), com base em dados coletados de fonte documental histórica, revelam o uso variado das preposições a e para com OIs interpretados como recipiente/meta, no contexto dos verbos de transferência e movimento, entre eles, dar, levar, e outros. Tais estudos revelam ainda a ausência da preposição a com os chamados verbos de criação, entre eles, construir, desenhar, pintar, etc. nos quais OI é interpretado como beneficiário. Outro fato relacionado aos anteriores pode ser descrito da seguinte forma: no PB, o OI não mais é expresso pelos clíticos dativos de 3a pessoa. Tal estratégia está restrita à escrita formal. Isso sugere que sua expressão morfológica foi afetada. Nosso principal objetivo nesta dissertação é contribuir com novas evidências dos aspectos dinâmicos que caracterizam a variação e mudança na história do PB, com base em um corpus constituído de dados extraídos de peças teatrais dos séculos XIX e XX. Como será mostrado, nossos resultados corroboram os estudos anteriores: há uma forte queda na frequência dos clíticos dativos em seu uso de 3a pessoa. Estes deixam de ser a estratégia principal na expressão do OI pronominal. Com base em Torres Morais & Salles (2010) e trabalhos subsequentes, assumimos que a mudança paramétrica na gramática do PB pode ser descrita como a perda do núcleo aplicativo baixo que introduz o OI dativo em estruturas bitransitivas. A configuração em que uma preposição lexical introduz o OI como seu complemento oblíquo é a única opção encontrada no PB. Por ser um modelo internalista, a Teoria dos Princípios e Parâmetros propõe que a mudança sintática é ativada durante o processo de aquisição da língua materna. A mudança no valor de um parâmetro é catastrófica: uma vez fixado na fase de aquisição da linguagem não poderá ser refixado (cf. Lightfoot, 1979, 1997, 1999). Este tipo de abordagem, porém, não traz respostas para as questões que se referem à dinâmica da mudança sintática. Portanto, seguindo Roberts (2007), assumimos que é perfeitamente possível e desejável que se busque conciliar a abordagem proposta no quadro da teoria dos P&P e a abordagem proposta na Teoria da Variação e Mudança Linguística, tal como formulada por Weinreich, Labov & Hersog (1968) eLabov (1972, 1994).Assumimos ainda a ideia da competição de gramáticas, como proposta por Kroch (1989, 2000, 2001).Studies on the syntax of indirect objects (IO) in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), with data collected from a varied source of historical documents, reveal the variable use of the prepositions a and para introducing the recipient/goal argument, with predicates of transference, such as dar (to give), etc. Another relevant fact is that the preposition a is lost in contexts in which the IO is interpreted as the benefactive, with verbs of creation, such as construir (to build), etc., being replaced by para. Also, a related property is that the IO is no longer expressed by the 3rd person dative pronoun lhe, suggesting that its morphological expression is affected. Our main goal is to contribute to this aspect of variation and change in the history of BP from the perspective of a new data extracted from 19th and 20th centuries plays. Our results corroborate previous studies: there is a strong decrease in the frequency of 3a person dative clitics as a main strategy on the expression of the pronominal IO. Based on Torres Morais & Salles (2010) and subsequent studies we assume a parametric change in the BP grammar, described as the loss of the low applicative head that introduces the dative IO in ditransitive contexts. Thus configuration with the lexical/true preposition is the only option found in (Standard) BP. As an internalist model, the Principles and Parameters Theory assumes that syntactic change is driven by the first-language acquisition process. Consequently the parametric change is catastrophic in each individual in process of learning the mother tongue (cf. Lightfoot, 1979, 1997, 1999). This kind of approach is not insightful for a number of questions concerning the dynamics of syntactic change. Then, following Roberts (2007) we assume that it is perfectly possible and desirable to reconcile the P&P approach with the Theory of Variation and Change, as proposed by Weinreich, Labov &Hersog (1968) e Labov (1972, 1994). We assume also the ideia of competing grammar as proposed by Kroch (1989, 2000, 2001).

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study has been to investigate the virtual world that people are part of on online dating sites. To do this we have investigated two different research questions, which are the following: What functions do the online dating sites provide? Why and how are the online dating sites being used by their members? In order to gather information about these matters, we have used a qualitative method consisting of participating observation, scrutinizing and single person interviews. Our results indicate that people have different goals with their usage of online dating sites; some are looking for love, a long-term relationship while others are looking for sexual contact. There are many different online dating sites to choose from depending on the users’ objective. The online dating sites we have observed offer similar functions. To find someone of interest most of our interviewees use the search function. The way of initializing contact when finding someone of interest varies between our interviewees, but most of them send flirts and mails. Online dating offers a possible alternative for people to find a potential partner.

Full textAbstract:
Luminescence dating is a widespread dating method used in the fields of archaeology and Quaternary science. As an experimental method it is subject to various uncertainties in the determination of parameters that are used to evaluate age. The need to express these uncertainties fully, combined with the prior archaeological knowledge commonly available, motivates the development of a Bayesian approach to the assessment of age based on luminescence data. The luminescence dating procedure is dissected into its component parts, and each is considered individually before being combined to find the posterior age distribution. We use Bayesian multi-sample calibration to find the palaeodose in the first stage of the model, consider the problem of identifying a plateau in the data, and then use this, along with the annual dose, to estimate age. The true sample age is then modelled, incorporating any prior information available, both for an individual sample and for a collection of samples with related ages.

Full textAbstract:
Statistical models for the calibration of both independent and related groups of radiocarbon determinations are now well established and there exists a number of software packages such as BCal, OxCal and CALIB that can perform the necessary calculations to implement them. When devising new statistical models it is important to understand the motivations and needs of the archaeologists. When researchers select samples for radiocarbon dating, they are often not interested in when a specific plant or animal died. Instead, they want to use the radiocarbon evidence to help them to learn about the dates of other events, which cannot be dated directly but which are of greater historical or archaeological significance (e.g. the founding of a site). Our initial research focuses on formulating prior distributions that reliably represent a priori information relating to the rate of deposition of dateable material within an archaeological time period or phase. In archaeology, a phase is defined to be a collection of excavated material (context or layers) bounded early and late by events that are of archaeological importance. Current software for estimating boundary dates only allows for one possible type of a priori distribution, which assumes that material suitable for dating was deposited at a uniform rate between the start and end points of the phase. Although this model has been useful for many real problems, researchers have become increasingly aware of its limitations. We therefore propose a family of alternative prior models (with properties tailored to particular problems within archaeological research) which includes the uniform as a special case and allows for more realistic and robust modelling of the deposition process. We illustrate, via two case studies, the difference in archaeological conclusions drawn from the data when implementing both uniform and non-uniform prior deposition models. The second area of research, that we take the first steps towards tackling, is spatiotemporal modelling of archaeological calibration problems. This area of research is of particular interest to those studying the response of plants and animals, including humans, to climate change. In archaeological problems our temporal information typically arises from radiocarbon dating, which leads to estimated rather than exactly known calendar dates. Many of these problems have some form of spatial structure yet it is very rare that the spatial structure is formally accounted for. The combination of temporal uncertainty and spatial structure means that we cannot use standard models to tackle archaeological problems of this kind. Alongside this, our knowledge of past landscapes is generally very poor as they were often very different from modern ones; this limits the amount of spatial detail that can be included in the modelling. In this thesis we aim to make reliable inferences in spatio-temporal problems by carefully devising a model that takes account of the temporal uncertainty as well as incorporating spatial structure, to provide probabilistic solutions to the questions posed. We illustrate the properties of both the conventional models and the spatio-temporal models using a case study relating to the radiocarbon evidence for the Late glacial reoccupation of NW Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Investigations are carried out into the mass gain behaviour of fired clay ceramics following drying (130°C) and reheating (SOO°C), and the application of these mass gain properties to the dating of archaeological ceramics using a modified rehydroxylation dating (RHX) methodology, a component based approach. Gravimetric analysis is conducted using a temperature and humidity controlled glove box arrangement (featuring a top-loading balance) on eighteen samples of varied known ages and contexts; this occurs following transfer from environmentally controlled chambers where subsamples of these samples are aged at three temperatures (2S0C, 3SoC, 45°C) following drying and reheating. The sample set consists principally of post-medieval bricks, but also includes some post-medieval pottery as ·well as both Etruscan and Roman ceramics. A suite of techniques are applied to characterise these ceramics, including XRO, FTIR, p-XRF, thin-section petrography, BET analysis, TG-MS and permeametry. Significant findings are presented related to the drying of samples, the causes of poor mass gain behaviour, the mass gain behaviour following drying at 130°C and the chemisorption processes involved, the relationship between the mass gain behaviour following heating at 130°C and SOO°C, the appropriate models and descriptors of this behaviour, as well as the relationship Of the mass gain behaviour to the chemical, mineralogical, and structural properties of the ceramic involved. For RHX dating, a component based approach is presented and applied. The results are inconclusive, with the estimated ages of most samples generally far too large, neither confirming the effectiveness of a component based approach nor the use of a tA1/4 or tA1/n model. The effects of a range of factors (uncertainties, contamination, mineral alteration, short term heating effect) on the estimated ages are examined and discussed.

The most important aspect of online dating is the messaging. Resting upon that argument, this project discursively analyzes naturally-occurring interactions between users on two online dating sites. Current facework, relationship initiation, and online dating research lacks a systematic understanding of the conversational processes involved in establishing a relationship online. This thesis addresses that deficit of understanding. Results show that there is a sequence and a set of resources that online dating users draw upon to get acquainted; suggesting a new typology of opening gambits based on technological affordances. Results also show that users openly negotiate the process of relationship initiation, discussing both the interaction situation and their performances. Overall, this investigation provides insights that give researchers and online dating users a deeper and more complete understanding of the work that is done on a turn-by-turn, conversational level in the online dance of courtship.

Esta dissertação faz um estudo do dativo de terceira pessoa no português culto falado em Belém. Os passos utilizados para se chegar a esse estudo foram dois: um levantamento criterioso da descrição do objeto indireto nas principais gramáticas de língua portuguesa e em vários estudos (artigos, dissertações, teses) com base em descrições lingüísticas. A literatura sobre a expressão do dativo na variedade brasileira do português, de modo geral, aponta importantes mudanças que vêm ocorrendo. Essas mudanças alteram a estrutura dativa prototípica (V+SN+aSP) e ocorrem em meio a diferentes estratégias: emprego da preposição para em lugar a; emprego das formas tônicas preposicionadas a/para ele(s) / a/para ela(s) na referência anafórica em lugar do clítico de terceira pessoa lhe; emprego do objeto indireto nulo; emprego de SNs plenos. A análise do corpus, coletado em entrevistas televisivas, revelou variações no emprego das construções dativas em Belém, porém essas variações não corroboram categoricamente as mudanças apontadas pelos estudos implementados em outras regiões. Tanto o lhe dativo quanto a preposição a são ainda recursos bastante utilizados nas construções dativas no belenense culto.This dissertation makes a study analyzing the use of the third person dative in the formal Portuguese spoken in Belém. In order to arrive at this study, two steps were followed: a thorough survey of the descriptions of the indirect object found in the main grammars of Portuguese and in many other sorts of studies (such as: articles, dissertations and theses) based on linguistic analyses. The literature on the use of dative in the Brazilian Portuguese shows that significant changes in this usage are happening. These changes modify the prototypical dative structure (V + SN + aSP), and besides they occur in different contexts: the speaker uses the preposition \"para\" instead of using \"a\"; the usage of tonic prepositional forms \"a/para ele(s)\" / \"a/para ela(s)\" in anaphoric reference instead of the third person clitic \"lhe\"; the usage of null indirect object; the usage of full SNs. The analysis of the corpus collected in television interviews revealed variations in the usage of dative constructions in Belém, however these variations do not corroborate categorically to changes found by other studies in other regions of Brazil. Not only the dative pronoun \"lhe\", but also the preposition \"a\" are resources very used in dative constructions in the formal belenense.

Estudos já apontaram para o crescente desaparecimento do pronome clítico dativo de terceira pessoa e para a substituição da preposição a pela preposição para na introdução de objeto indireto (OI) lexical no português brasileiro (PB). Tal fenômeno é identificado a partir de dados do século XIX e esses estudos, em sua maioria, partem de dados da linguagem adulta, sendo que poucos tratam deste fenômeno no âmbito escolar. Esta dissertação discute as estratégias de preenchimento do dativo no português brasileiro (PB), caracterizado pela gramática tradicional de objeto indireto, com o uso das preposições a e para, sob a forma nula e de pronome (lhe/lhes) em redações de alunos de 6º. ao 9º. ano de um colégio público e um colégio particular, da cidade de Santos. Nosso objetivo é verificar o papel da escola na recuperação das formas de prestígio e confrontar os dados encontrados com os trabalhos de Torres Morais e Berlinck (2006), Freire (2011) e Dutra (2003), os quais apontam três estratégias inovadoras: a substituição da preposição a por para, a perda progressiva dos clíticos de 3ª pessoa (lhe/lhes), que são substituídos pela forma preposicionada (a ele/eles, a ela/elas), e o aumento das formas nulas. Acima disso, espera-se, no confronto entre as produções textuais produzidas pelos alunos da escola pública e particular, indagar se há diferença na gramática internalizada de alunos que receberam diferentes estímulos linguísticos.Several studies have pointed at the increasing disappearance of the pronoun dative clitic third person and for the replacement of the preposition a for para for the introduction of indirect object (OI) lexical in Brazilian Portuguese (PB). This phenomenon is identified from data of the nineteenth century and these studies, mostly originated from data of adult language, and few deal with this phenomenon in the school environment. This essay discusses strategies for fulfilling the dative complement in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), characterized by traditional grammar as indirect object, with the usage of the prepositions a and para and its usage as a null form and a pronoun (lhe/lhes) in 6th to 9th grade students\' compositions within a public and a private school, in Santos. Our aim is to verify the school\'s role in the rescuing of the forms of prestige and comparing the data found in the works of Torres Morais and Berlinck (2006), Freire (2011), and Dutra (2003), which point at three innovative strategies: the replacement of the preposition a for para, the progressive loss of 3rd person clitics (lhe/lhes), which are replaced for the prepositional form (a ele/eles, a ela/elas), and the increasing of null forms. Moreover, it is attempted to question if there is a difference, in the grammar internalized by students from public and private school who received different linguistic stimuli.
