Full textThe hierarchical organization of the nobility has been deeply modified in the course of the eighteenth century. Paris is the key place to cotemplate these social and ideological upheavals. As a result to the emergence of new taxonomical, political and intellectual references, the paris nobility is in fact the witness of a major society change, as well as the enlightener of the development of the individualism through out the urban mentalities

Full textThe history of the spanish organ dates from the last centuries of the middle-ages when two orientations in building became apparent. These two orientations in building correspond roughly to the kingdoms of castile and aragon and will last till the end of the seventeenth century. First, this work studies their origins and underlines the leading part quickly played by aragon. It sketches out the building centres and their interdependance induced by the mobility of the builders, autochtons as well as foreigners. The study of the origins of the parish organ determines the part of cathedrals titular afinadores and shows how the technical knowledge was passed on in the family and by apprentillship. Then is described the structure of the organ and its characteristics, basing itself overall on the evolutive elements of the castilian organ: unique keyboard, then with halved stops and elevated cornet- the second part emploies the same schemes of analysis to elucidate the conditions which permitted the blooming and the apogee of the spanish or- gan. Th dynasties'ascendancy grew but the way of learning the craft was questionned du- ring the second half of the eighteenth century while the importance of the archi- tect's role in the conceiving of the organ-case -predominant then- is confirmed by the aca- demy. The migrations of the northern builderns -basques, navarreses- to the centre- ma- drid is now the main pole of attraction-, their expansion to the whole country encourage the implantation of one unique pattern.

Full textThe introduction of the celebration of the conception of mary (december 8 th) in the western countries during the xiith century is at the origin of a long controversy which can be reconstructed thanks to numerous documents of various types: treaties, sermons, commentaries of the sentences, quodlibeta, liturgical books and even chronicles and litterary texts. Besides the fact it was new, the celebration of the conception of mary shocked many theologists because of its apparent incompatibility with a doctrinal system firmly established: universality of the original sin, transmission of this sin by means of an irremediably guilty sexuality, and the necessity for each person to be redeemed by the sacrifice of the passion of christ. The discussions concerning a possible exception in favour of mary did not only lead to a better view on these various points, they also clarified a certain number of anthropological representation concerning the reproduction, the virginal conception, the mother to son and creature to creator relationship. These discussions also reveal some social or political models, notably concerning the figure of the sovereign power and how it related to the law, or the personal status of individuals. We can distinguish three phases in the controversy. At the beginning the propaganda in favour of the celebration gives birth to a new type of discourse which both explores new ways of thinking and remains strongly linked to the development of scholastic thought. Subsequently the immaculist opinion is completly left aside by the dominating discourse of an academic theology at a climax and only indirect testimonies of its existence still remain, whereas the celebration keeps gaining ground. Yet between the end of the xiiith century and the beginning of the xivth century both anonymous and famous voices are heard among theologists in favour of a new discourse which should reconcile cult and doctrine. This reversal leads in a third phase to paradoxical results: while, during the course of the xivth century the celebration becomes a widespread habit, and the immaculist opinion becomes the major trend, the existence of a barrier of resistance in the dominican order will give a new unexpected turn to the controversy, till the council of bale which brings the crisis to an uncertain end in 1439

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Despite the excessive mineral wealth, the underground deposits of gold, diamonds, copper and cobalt and other valuable minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which are coveted by many countries, the majority of the population is still destitute and lives in dire poverty. However the country itself prospered during the colonial period 1885-1960 and it became the second most industrialized state in Africa after South Africa (Petit & Mutambwa, 2005). Unfortunately it is now ranked among the world's poorest countries in the world. Since the Democratic Republic of the Congo gained independence in 1960 it has not experienced development that benefits the whole population. The country is experiencing continuing and pressing problems of poverty and human suffering. Thus the purpose during this study is to analyse the position of the Pentecostal Church in the Congo (30ème CPCO) concerning the situation of poverty in the city of Lubumbashi and to design a pragmatic approach that can assist the denomination to find ways to effectively address the problem of poverty. Findings reveal that the city of Lubumbashi is riddled with complex socio-economic challenges, but the 30 ème CPCO is not equipped practically or theologically to address these challenges. Poverty in the city of Lubumbashi is pervasive, it is therefore structural and historical. It comes a long way, from the slavery, to colonization, to dictatorship, neo-colonization and globalization. Sin and lovelessness have been identified as the roots causes of poverty in the DRC in the sense that sin which is the opposite of love is the driving force behind the oppressive structures that have impoverished millions of people in the DRC and around the world. Furthermore findings also disclose that the understanding of the soteriology within the Pentecostal denomination theology is problematic. Salvation is understood as being spiritual only, the physical aspect is misapprehended. In addition there is a heretical prosperity gospel in the denomination which teaches that poverty is the result of personal sin and unfaithfulness to tithing. They believe that giving large amounts of money will release blessings and prosperity. This view has skewed the denomination's approach towards the eradication of poverty. As a result the 30 ème CPCO’s involvement in poverty eradication is described as rudimentary, it is limited to sporadic assistance to the poor. Although the 30 ème CPCO station of Lubumbashi as a whole has been sporadically giving assistance to the poor, there are many factors that have restricted its ability to effectively engage in poverty eradication amongst which is poor understanding of the root causes of poverty. This in fact is influenced by the perception of poverty which is subject to features such as the mentality of the people or the level of literacy, the environment, the world view, the circumstances, the culture etc. The inability of the 30 ème CPCO to address poverty is also due to lack of enough education, poor administration, financial issues, lack of partners to help with the development and cooperation between congregations.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ten spyte van groot minerale rykdom, die ondergrondse bronne van goud, diamante, koper kobalt en ander minerale, wat deur ander lande begeer word, leef die oorgrote meerderheid van die bevolking van die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo in armoede. Tydens die koloniale tydperk (1885–1960) het die Kongo tog vooruitgegaan en die tweede mees industrieë in Afrika, na Suid-Afrika, besit. Dus was dit die doel tydens hierdie studie om die posisie van die Pinkster Kerk in die Kongo (30 ème CPCO) betreffende die armoede stiuasie in die stad Lubumbashi te bepaal en om maniere te vind waarop ’n pragmatiese benadering tot armoede gevolg kan word. Daar is bevind dat die stad Lubumbashi baie komplekse sosio-ekonomiese uitdagings in die gesig staar, maar dat die 30 ème CPCO nie bevoeg is om daardie uitdagings op ’n praktiese wyse of ’n teologiese wyse aan te spreek nie nie. Die armoede in die stad kan oral gesien word, dit is struktueel en histories. Hierdie armoede gaan ver terug, na slaverny, kolonisasie diktatorskap, neo-liberalisme en globalisasie. Sonde en liefdeloosheid word gesien as hoofoorsake van armoede in die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo in die sin dat sonde wat die teenoorgestelde van liefde is, die dryfveer is agter die onderdrukkende strukture wat miljoene mense in die DRK en elders in die wêreld in armoede gedompel het. Daar is ook bevind dat die begrip van soteriologie in die Pinkster denominasie se teologie problematies is. Net die geestelike aspek van redding is in ag geneem en die fiesiese aspek is misken. Daar is ook diegene in die denominasie wat verkeerdelik glo in die voorspoeds evangelie waarvolgens armoede die gevolg is van die persoon se eie sonde of ontrouheid wat betref die gee van tiendes. Hulle glo dat die gee van groot hoeveelhede geld sal lei tot seëninge en voorspoed. Hierdie siening het ’n effek gehad op die denominasie se houding teenoor die uitroei van armoede. Daarom is die 30 ème CPCO se betrokkenheid by die uitwissing van armoede rudimentêr. Dit is beperk tot hulp aan die armes. . Alhoewel die 30 ème CPCO stasie van Lubumbashi as geheel sporadies hulp aan die armes verleen het, is daar baie faktore wat die kerk se vermoë om effektief te wees in die uitroei van armoede, beperk het. Een daarvan is ’n begrip van die grondoorsake van armoede. Die begrip word beïnvloed deur die persepsie van armoede, en aspekte soos die mentaliteit van die mense, die graad van geletterheid, die omgewing, die siening van die wêreld, die kultuur ens. Die onvermoë van die 30 ème CPCO om armoede aan te spreek is die gevolg van ’n gebrek aan opvoeding, swak administrasie, finansiële probleme en gebrek aan vennote, asook ’n gebrek aan samewerking tussen gemeentes.

Full textHuman bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pleiotrophic cells that differentiate to either adipocytes or osteoblasts as a result of crosstalk by specific signaling pathways including heme oxygenase (HO)-1/-2 expression. We examined the effect of inducers of HO-1 expression and inhibitors of HO activity on MSC differentiation to the osteoblast and following high glucose exposure. MSC cultured in osteogenic medium increased expression of osteonectin, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2), osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase. HO-1 expression during differentiation was initially decreased and then followed by a rebound increase after 15 days of culture. Additionally, the effect of HO-1 on osteoblasts appears different to that seen in adipocyte stem cells. On addition of a cobalt compound, the resultant induction of HO-1 decreases adipogenesis. Moreover, glucose (30 mM) inhibited osteoblast differentiation, as evidenced by decreased bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2, osteonectin, osteocalcin, and osteoprotegerin (OPG). In contrast, MSC-derived adipocytes were increased by glucose. Increased HO-1 expression increased the levels of osteonectin, OPG, and BMP-2. Inhibition of HO activity prevented the increase in osteonectin and potentiated the decrease of osteocalcin and OPG in cells exposed to high glucose levels. Furthermore, targeting HO-1 expression increased pAMPK and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and restored osteoblastic markers. Our findings suggest that targeting HO-1 gene expression attenuates the hyperglycemia-mediated decrease in MSC-derived osteoblast differentiation. Finally, the mechanism underlying the HO-1-specific cell effect on osteoblasts and adipocytes is yet to be explored. Thus, the targeting of HO-1 gene expression presents a portal to increase osteoblast function and differentiation and attenuate osteoporosis by promoting bone formation

The sample taken was of 287 university students from Lima, (66% men), ages 18 to 26 years old (M = 19.66, SD = 1.64) participated. The scale evaluates learning, achievement and social reinforcement goals. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed where a structure of three factors related to goodness of fit indices is valid (CFI = .92, SRMR = 0.06, RMSEA = 0.07). On the other hand, positive correlations were found between the EME and the Specific Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale of Academic Situations (EAPESA) and negative correlations with the Academic Procrastination Scale dimension (EPA). The internal consistency reliability of the EME was: learning (α = .90, ω = .90); of achievement (α = .88, ω = .88) and social reinforcement (α = .87, ω = .88). In conclusion, the EME has evidence of validity and reliability in the study sample.

Full textPrevious research within the auditing field has found individuals to be influenced by Efficiency Motivated Evaluation (EME). Meaning that the economists’ assessment ability is affected and their ability to evaluate information is deteriorated by different pressure factors, such as time pressure, resulting in their accounting evaluations being implemented in an effective, but not necessarily an efficient way. Other studies also indicates that ethical guidelines and work experience has a positive effect on work performance under pressure. This study intends to test these effects with the aim to investigate if the assessment ability is deteriorated by time pressure and if experience and ethical guidelines improves the assessment ability. The method used was a questionnaire, sent out to 976 authorized accounting consultants, with a response rate of 13, 83 %. The participants responded to assertions about internal control and ethical guidelines. The result from the study shows no significance for influence of time pressure. Although a tendency of calming effect from ethical guidelines and experience was noticed.

Validación en Chile de la Escala de Motivación Educativa (EME) en estudiantes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile. La forma en que las personas aprenden ha sido un tema de estudio relevante desde hace años. Las teorías del aprendizaje llevan distintos fenómenos asociados, entre ellos la motivación; interviniendo de manera importante en los procesos de aprendizaje de las personas. Para medir esto se ha diseñado un cuestionario que posee validez y confiabilidad en otros países. No se dispone de un instrumento validado en Chile, que permita medir los diversos tipos de motivación que influirían en el rendimiento académico del estudiante, durante el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje. Objetivo: Validar el instrumento “Escala de Motivación Educativa (EME)”, en estudiantes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile, para la determinación del tipo de motivación que influye en el rendimiento académico durante el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje. Método: Los participantes fueron estudiantes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile, (n=84) seleccionados al azar, considerando 3 personas por pregunta de un cuestionario de 28 preguntas, 37 hombres y 47 mujeres. La validación se realizó en las siguientes etapas: adaptación lingüística, aplicación del cuestionario para validación. La validez de constructo fue probada a través de un análisis factorial confirmatorio, la confiabilidad a través del alfa de Cronbach, y las diferencias de género a través del test de Student. Resultados: El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró índice de correlación (KMO) 0.82 y pesos de regresión estandarizados mayores a 0.40, para todas las subescalas. El alfa de Cronbach varía desde un valor menor de 0.78 para las subescalas regulación identificada y motivación intrínseca al conocimiento a 0.87 para la subescala regulación externa. En cuanto a las diferencias de género, se encontraron diferencias significativas en las subescalas de regulación introyectada y motivación intrínseca al logro, donde las mujeres puntúan más alto. Conclusión: La versión chilena de la EME presenta adecuada validez de constructo y confiabilidad en estudiantes de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile.

Full textIn order to overcome the safety issues induced by the use of liquid electrolytes, Li-ion batteries involving solid electrolytes have been considered, leading to an ‘all-solid’ kind of devices, commonly called microbatteries. For such devices, studies on the limiting processes that take place at electrode/electrolyte interfaces need to be done, to understand the electrochemical phenomenons likely to occur at the atomic scale, similarly to the well-known SEI formation. In this goal, methods of computational chemistry can provide both explanatory and predictive breakthroughs. The present work takes part in those issues by intending a study of electrode/electrolyte interfaces, considering LixPOyNz as the solid electrolyte material. Owing to the amorphous structuration of this system, the first barrier to break consists in the search for a suitable model, able to reproduce its real XPS electronic properties. Modelling of XPS spectra has both lead to propose a model of the electrolyte and highlight the possible existence of a new coordinence for nitrogen atoms, up to now unconsidered experimentally. Complementary calculations of Raman spectra, thermodynamic and kinetic data tend to evidence this coordinence, leading to a refinement of the commonly considered diffusion scheme. Finally, this structural model has been used to simulate an electrode/electrolyte interface (LixPOyNz/Si), with the particular aim of studying its adsorption on the electrode and the Li-ion diffusion through the interface

They could have had important consequences over the evolution of the kingdom of siam, had they not been abruptly broken in 1688, because of a siamese xenophobe reaction principally against the french people. Nevertheless accounts and memories of the embassies exchanged between the two kingdoms are numerous and interesting enough to justify the recent celebration of three hundred years of relations between france and thailand.

Full textThe aim of this survey is to provide a further contribution to the knowledge of the rural society and economy of a region of the west of france in the last century of the ancien regima, by studying the various ways of making a profit on the land, whether by owning it in the bourgeois sense of the word, by holding it in the manorial one, or by tilling it in the farming one. The first part develops at the meeting point of social history and farming geography : the landscape is reconstituted and described in order to relate environmental realities and the structures of rural society. The bas-maine is an irregularly meshed wooded district. Habitat is scattered,spread among minor boroughs, numerous villages and isolated farmhouses. The "closeries" (5 to 10 hectares) are mostly dedicated to subsistence farming. The "meraurues" (20 to 30 hectares) make up the framework of a first agricultural specialization: held on a full or half lease, they are devoted to the speculative breeding of cattle sold in the course of fattening to graziers in normandy or the paris basin. They are particularly numerous around the many castles whose estates they make up. The seigneurie remains very vivid, rather scarcely questioned, perfectly integrated to a rural economy which it largely contributes to drive. Like the "metairie", it offers its owner possibilities of profits and a way of life which account for the sustained appeal ol. .

Full textThis thesis is about the work of the Venetian Rosalba Carriera (1673-1757), who knew an international success thanks to her portraits and her exceptionnal mastery of pastel painting. However, Rosalba Carriera was not only an artist. In effect, she wrote many letters, texts in relation with the society of her century and she wrote a little essay about the pastel and she was also a letter writer, a poet and wrote diaries. Without forgetting her identity of artist,we will stress on her profile of woman of Letters, witness of her century. First of all, we will speak about the painting and the women painters in Europ and in Venice in the 18th century and we will insist on the artistic formation of Rosalba Carriera.In a second time, we will analyse the writings of Rosalba: her letters and diaries that reveal her qualities of letter writer and diarist and also the large network she especially developed in France and a little bit in England. Finally, we will introduce Rosalba as a poet, as a social and historical witness of her time thanks to many texts and thank to her essay on the pastel painting, Maniere diverse per formare i colori, where she appears as an educationalist and specialist. These differents facets of Rosalba Carriera will make up the portrait of an artist and a woman of Letters in the Enlightenment Europ

Este estudo faz uma análise contrastiva da aquisição da linguagem de duas crianças surdas com implante coclear em contextos diferentes: Bruno, filho de pais surdos, exposto à Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) desde o nascimento, e ao Português após implante coclear (IC); e Tainá, filha de pais ouvintes, que teve acesso à Libras na escola com um ano de idade, e ao Português logo após o implante coclear. Foram analisadas as produções de linguagem dessas crianças enquanto interagiam com suas famílias em seus ambientes familiares, os dados foram coletados longitudinalmente entre o primeiro e o quarto ano de idade de cada criança. Este estudo utiliza a medida de Extensão Média do Enunciado (EME) ou Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) proposta por Brown (1973), para verificar a possibilidade de esta ser aplicada à Língua de Sinais e à Língua Portuguesa, e apresentar estudos dos estágios de aquisição com dados em Línguas de Sinais. Com base nos resultados, foi observado que a aquisição precoce da Língua de Sinais é de extrema importância para o desenvolvimento da criança surda, até mesmo antes do implante coclear. Além disso, constatou-se a dificuldade em comparar a Libras com o Português aplicando a EME, visto que são línguas de modalidade e gramática diferentes. Para as crianças com implante coclear, a Língua Brasileira de Sinais servirá como suporte linguístico para que a aquisição da Língua Portuguesa aconteça de forma mais espontânea, contrariando muitas hipóteses da medicina e de filosofias da educação que afirmam que a criança surda não deve ter contato com a Língua de Sinais antes de ser implantada, pois isso impediria a aquisição da língua falada.
Abstract : This study makes a contrastive analysis of the language acquisition of two deaf children with cochlear implant in different contexts: Bruno, son of deaf parents, exposed the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) from birth, and to Portuguese after cochlear implant (CI); and Tainá, daughter of hearing parents, who had access to Libras in school at the age of one, and to Portuguese right after cochlear implantation. The language productions of these children were analyzed as they interacted with their families in their home environments. The data were collected longitudinally between the first and the fourth year of age of each child. This study uses the Extensão Média do Enunciado (EME) or Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) proposed by Brown (1973), to verify the possibility of this being applied to Sign Language and to Portuguese, and present studies of stages acquisition with data in Sign Language. Based on the results, it was observed that the early acquisition of Sign Language is of utmost importance for the development of deaf children, even before the cochlear implant. In addition, there was the difficulty of comparing Libras to Portuguese applying the EME, since they have a different type of language and grammar. For children with cochlear implant, the Brazilian Sign Language will serve as linguistic support for the acquisition of Portuguese happening more spontaneously, contrary to many assumptions of medicine and education philosophies which state that deaf child must not have contact with Sign Language before being deployed, as this would prevent the acquisition of spoken language.

Full textSwitching power management circuits are widely used in battery powered embedded applications in order to increase their autonomy. In particular, for audio applications, Class-D amplifiers are a widespread industrial solution. These, have a similar architecture of a buck converter but having the audio signal as reference. The switching nature of these devices allows us to increase significantly the power efficiency compared to linear audio amplifiers without reducing the audio quality. However, because of the switching behavior, Class-D amplifiers have high levels of electromagnetic (EM) emissions which can disturb the surrounding electronics or might not comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. To overcome this problem much architecture appeared in the state of the art that reduces the emissions, however, this has never been enough to remove electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters. It is then useful to optimize these filters, thus, it has been set as the goal of this PhD thesis. The latter has been divided to four main axes which can be resumed by the following. First, this work started by developing a frequency domain modeling method in order to simulate and predict the EMI of Class-D amplifiers in the final application. The method is based on system to block decomposition and impedance matrix modeling and manipulation. After providing all the theoretical background, the method has been validated on integrated differential Class-D amplifier. The experimental measurements have permitted to validate the method only up to 100MHz. However, this is sufficient to cover the conducted EMC frequency band. Second, the EMI at the supply rails of Class-D amplifiers has been treated. As the battery is often the same power supply for all applications in an embedded system, an EMI filter or a decoupling capacitor is needed to prevent the noise coupling by common impedance. Designing this filter needs the knowledge of the battery impedance at the desired frequencies. Therefore the present work dealt also with measuring the high frequency impedance of a battery. Afterwards, an experimental validation has been carried on with a DC-DC converter and a Class-D amplifier. The developed model allows a virtual test of the switching device in the final application. However, it is more useful if the model is able to help the system integrator in designing filters. Thus, third, the model has been implemented in an optimization loop based on a genetic algorithm in order to optimize the filter response, and also, reduce the additional power losses introduced by an EMI filter. The optimization search space has been limited to the components available on the market and the optimization result is given as component references of the optimal filter referring to the optimal solution found. This procedure has been validated experimentally. Finally, EMI filters often are constituted by magnetic components such as ferrite beads or inductors with magnetic cores. Thus, introducing the EMI filter in the audio path, adds a nonlinear behavior in the audio frequency band. Designing a high quality EMI filter require taking into account this phenomenon and studying its impact of the original amplifier audio performance. Therefore, the Jiles-Atherton model for magnetic materials has been used for ferrite bead modeling. Hereafter, the impact on the time and frequency domain signals has been simulated and compared to measurements. Finally, the total harmonic distortion (THD) has been computed for different signal amplitudes and compared to the THD measured using an audio analyzer. Accurate results have been obtained on a wide range of signal amplitudes. As a conclusion, this work aimed to design optimal EMI filters for Class-D amplifiers. Thus, we dealt with improving their EMI response, reducing their additional power losses and evaluating their impact on the audio quality

The original processor had deteriorated from environmental extremes and vibration. There were also problems with electromagnetic interference from the high efficiency electric motor switching electronics, difficulties with the many unplanned additions made to the processor in the field, and the unstructured software that was becoming difficult to maintain. This project consists of creating a replacement telemetry system that is more robust mechanically, and electrically, substantially improving the EMI performance of the device, and reworking the hardware and software to make it easier to maintain and upgrade.

O setor automotivo nacional, no segmento de fabricação de carrocerias para ônibus, vem buscando melhorar a qualidade de produção de seus veículos, visando atender as exigências do mercado interno e externo, por meio de especificações de projetos eletrônicos seguindo normas internacionais. Neste contexto, as normas de compatibilidade eletromagnética destacam-se, pois, possuem um papel importante para garantir que os equipamentos possam operar de forma segura, sem gerar ou sofrer interferências. Este trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver uma metodologia para projetar produtos eletrônicos que necessitam atender normas de compatibilidade eletromagnética, por meio de estudos de técnicas de emissões radiadas e conduzidas, e uso de ferramentas computacionais para simulação da placa de circuito impresso. A partir deste estudo, pode-se diminuir investimentos com laboratórios de testes, tempo de desenvolvimento e disponibilizar produtos ao mercado de forma mais eficiente. O uso de técnicas apropriadas e boas práticas em projetos são meios adequados para atender requisitos de normas, porém a evolução das tecnologias e adição de mais circuitos em áreas menores torna necessário avançar nos conhecimentos. Assim, deve-se compreender de forma detalhada as técnicas para emissões de modo comum e diferencial, desenvolver simulações que possam prever resultados em testes de laboratórios e propor alterações em projeto mecânico ou eletrônico que atendam os limites determinados em normas.
The national automotive division, more precisely in the bus manufacturing segment, efforts are being deposited to improve the manufacturing quality of its vehicles in order to meet the requirements of the internal and external market through electronic projects based on international standards. Furthermore, the electromagnetic compatibility standards stand out because they have a major importance ensuring that electronic devices are able to provide safety to its users, without interfering or being interfered by other devices. The objective of this research is to develop a methodology to design electronic devices which must meet the standards requirements of electromagnetic compatibility. This goal is achieved through the study of radiated and conducted emissions techniques, and using computational tools for simulation of printed circuit boards. From this study it will be possible to reduce costs with laboratory tests, reduce the time required for development, and provide products to the customers in an efficient way. The use of appropriated techniques and good practices during the designs process are the proper way to meet standards and requirements. However, with the evolution of technology and addition of more electronic circuits in smaller areas requires to acquire more knowledge and go deeper in this study. Thus, it is necessary to understand in details the common mode and differential emissions technics, develop simulations which can provide a preview of what the laboratory tests may result, and propose changes in the mechanic and electronic project design in order to meet the limits of the requirements determined in the standards.

Full textA Extensão Média do Enunciado (EME) é um índice que resulta do rácio entre o número de morfemas (EME-m) ou número de palavras (EME-p) e o número de enunciados produzidos pela criança. Este índice tem vindo a ser estudado e utilizado em diferentes países e línguas, e, apesar de muitos estudos o apontarem como um bom indicador de desenvolvimento gramatical e linguístico, outros são controversos, principalmente quando aplicados a línguas com morfologia flexional mais rica, como o caso do português. Dada a escassez de dados para o português europeu, confinados a duas faixas etárias, e atendendo às evidências de que a EME-m e a EME-p apresentam uma boa correlação, neste estudo procurou-se analisar a EME-p, dos três aos sete anos. Os principais objetivos da presente dissertação são verificar se a EME-p será um bom indicador de desenvolvimento gramatical e linguístico, através da sua correlação com a idade e analisando diferenças entre faixas etárias, entre contextos de discurso (narrativo e espontâneo) e o nível de escolaridade (pré-escolar e escolar). Participaram no estudo cinquenta crianças, monolingues do português europeu e com desenvolvimento típico de linguagem, a frequentar centros educativos do Concelho de Santa Comba Dão. Foram gravadas, em dois momentos, amostras de discurso, espontâneo e narrativo, perfazendo, pelo menos, cem enunciados, que, posteriormente, foram transcritos através do Software Computerized Language Analysis (CLAN), que também realizou, de forma automática, o cálculo da EME-p. Os resultados indicam uma associação forte entre a idade e a EME-p, apesar de não existirem diferenças entre todas as faixas etárias, e uma correlação positiva entre a EME-p e o desenvolvimento da linguagem de crianças monolingues do português europeu. O valor da EME-p em discurso narrativo é estatisticamente superior ao seu valor em discurso espontâneo e o grupo em idade pré-escolar apresentou menor desempenho do que o grupo escolar. Em suma, considera-se que a EME-p pode fornecer informação pertinente sobre o desenvolvimento expressivo morfossintático da criança, contudo não poderão ser considerados valores padrão nem se poderá utilizar este índice como critério de diagnóstico.
The Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) is an index that results from the ratio between the number of morphemes (MLUm) or number of words (MLUw) and the number of utterances produced by the child. This index has been studied and used in different countries and languages and although many studies tell us that it is a good grammatical and linguistic development indicator, others are controversial, especially when applied to languages with richer inflectional morphology, such as Portuguese. Given the lack of data for European Portuguese confined to two age groups, and given the evidence that MLUm and MLUw have a good correlation, in this study we tried to analyze the MLUw in a group from three to seven years old. The main objectives of this dissertation are to check if the MLUw is a good indicator of grammatical and linguistic development, verifying its correlation with age and analyzing differences between age groups, discourse contexts (narrative and spontaneous) and the level of education (pre -school and school-age). In this study participated fifty children. They all were monolingual speakers of European Portuguese with typical language development, attending educational centers of the municipality of Santa Comba Dão. Speech samples were recorded in two different moments, in spontaneous speech and narrative context, making at least an hundred utterances which were later transcribed through Computerized Language Analysis Program (CLAN) which also calculated automatically the MLUw. The results indicate a strong association between age and the MLUw, although there are no significant differences between all age groups, and a positive correlation between MLUw and the development of European Portuguese children. The value of the MLUw in narrative discourse is statistically higher than in spontaneous speech and the group of pre-school age showed lower performance than the school-age group. In short, it is considered that the MLUw can provide relevant information on child development of morphosyntactic expressive competence, but cannot be considered as normative data or for diagnostic criterion.

Full textL’ipertensione arteriosa è il più importante fattore di rischio per le malattie cardiovascolari, l’infarto del miocardio, lo scompenso cardiaco, l’insufficienza renale e le vasculopatie periferiche. Lo stress ossidativo, dovuto all’aumentata produzione delle specie reattive all’ossigeno (ROS), svolge un importante ruolo fisiopatologico nello sviluppo dell’ipertensione arteriosa e delle sue complicanze a lungo termine, quali il rimodellamento cardiovascolare e l’aterosclerosi (Touyz RM et al, 2004). Vari fattori di rischio (fumo, diabete, aumento di LDL, oltre che ipertensione) portano ad un aumento dello stato redox, determinando disfunzione endoteliale, aumento dell’espressione di geni pro-infiammatori redox sensibili ed attivazione delle cellule muscolari lisce (Luft FC, 2001). In pazienti ipertesi, il sistema Renina-Angiotensina (RAAS) è attivato, causando un aumento di produzione dell’Angiotensina (Ang II) (Ruster C et al, 2006). L’Ang II, potente vasocostrittore (in grado di aumentare le resistenze periferiche totali e quindi la pressione arteriosa) è un potente induttore di stress ossidativo. L’Ang II media le sue azioni attraverso due recettori distinti: AT1R e AT2R (Dihn DT et al, 2001; Mehta PK et al, 2007; Calò LA et al, 2010). La stimolazione del recettore AT1R, per il quale l’Ang II presenta maggiore affinità, determina sia vasocostrizione attraverso un signalling cellulare a breve termine ma anche rimodellamento vascolare e aterosclerosi attraverso un signalling a lungo termine che coinvolge l’attivazione dell’NADPH ossidasi, produttore di anione superossido (O2-) (Griendling KK et al, 2000). Il legame al recettore AT2R da parte dell’Ang II controbilancia gli effetti mediati dall’attivazione di AT1R, inducendo vasodilatazione, antiproliferazione, differenziazione cellulare, segnali antiapoptotici; esso ha quindi un ruolo omeostatico nel controbilanciare un eccesso di stimolazione di AT1R (Volpe et al, 2003; Zhuo et al, 2008; Yamamoto et al, 2008). Lo stress ossidativo, è considerato uno dei meccanismi patogenetici fondamentali della disfunzione endoteliale. Per disfunzione endoteliale si intende un quadro molecolare e biochimico complesso che comprende infiammazione, proliferazione, anormalità strutturali e funzionali dei vasi. Le cellule progenitrici endoteliali (EPC) circolanti di derivazione midollare, svolgono un importante ruolo di protezione da queste alterazioni (Hill JM et al, 2003) in quanto sono in grado di riparare l’endotelio danneggiato attraverso un continuo processo di re-endotelializzazione e/o neovascolarizzazione (Heiss C et al, 2005). Nell’ipertensione il numero di EPC circolanti è ridotto e la loro funzione è alterata; tale situazione rappresenta un ulteriore fattore di rischio nello sviluppo di eventi cardiovascolari. E’ stato dimostrato, infatti, che l’Ang II, che causa un aumento dello stress ossidativo, svolge un ruolo centrale nell’insorgenza dell’invecchiamento e nella inibizione della capacità proliferativa delle EPC circolanti (Imanishi T et al, 2005). Il calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), invece, è un potente vasodilatatore, che previene l’invecchiamento delle EPC circolanti, indotto anche da Ang II (Zhou Z et al, 2010). L’importante ruolo che gioca lo stress ossidativo nei processi di remodelling cardiovascolare ed aterogenesi che si osservano nell’ipertensione arteriosa, ha indotto i ricercatori a porre sempre maggior attenzione e ad investigare i potenziali effetti pleiotropici dei farmaci antiipertensivi sullo stress ossidativo. I farmaci maggiormente studiati sono gli ACE inibitori (ACEIs) e i bloccanti il recettore AT1R dell'Angiotensina (ARBs), le due più importanti classi di farmaci che agiscono limitando l'attività del sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterone (RAAS). L’Olmesartan Medoxomil, bloccante il recettore AT1R dell’Ang II, ampiamente usato nel trattamento dell’ipertensione, blocca tutte le attività dell’Ang II mediate dal recettore AT1R, indipendentemente dall’origine e dalla via di sintesi dell’Ang II; l’ormone, perciò, si rende disponibile per il legame con il suo recettore AT2R, la cui stimolazione determina vasodilatazione, effetti antifibrotici e antinfiammatori e determina una riduzione, a lungo termine, dose-dipendente, della pressione arteriosa. Inoltre, è stato dimostrato che l’Olmesartan possiede attività antiossidante in quanto riduce i livelli plasmatici del marker di stress ossidativo 8-isoprostano (Fliser D et al, 2005), e attiva il sistema del monossido d’azoto (NO) attraverso un aumento della fosforilazione della eNOS (Oyama N et al, 2010; Kanematsu Y et al, 2006). Con il nostro studio abbiamo valutato un possibile effetto antiossidante e vasoprotettivo dell’Olmesartan Medoxomil in pazienti ipertesi essenziali, utilizzando un approccio biologico molecolare. Lo studio è stato effettuato in tempi differenti utilizzando due coorti di pazienti con caratteristiche cliniche simili trattati per 6 mesi con Olmesartan Medoximil. Sulla prima coorte sono stati analizzati markers di stress ossidativo e della pathway del rimodellamento cardiovascolare, oltre che i livelli di LDL ossidate; sulla seconda coorte di pazienti sono stati valutati oltre che l’espressione proteica di HO-1, i livelli palsmatici di CGRP e il numero e la sopravvivenza delle EPC circolanti. In particolare, nella prima fase sono state valutate p22phox subunità della NADPH ossidasi essenziale per la produzione di anione superossido, ed Heme Oxigenase-1 (HO-1), isoforma inducibile di HO, in grado di proteggere dallo stress ossidativo. Abbiamo, inoltre, valutato lo stato di fosforilazione delle ERK, proteine effettrici dello stress ossidativo nel rimodellamento cardiovascolare, e lo stato di marker plasmatici di stress ossidativo come le lipoproteine ossidate a bassa densità (LDL ossidate), cruciali nello sviluppo della reazione infiammatoria cronica a livello della tonaca intima delle arterie. Nella seconda fase dello studio abbiamo preso in considerazione gli effetti vasoprotettivi dell’Olmesartan valutando parametri quali: HO-1, proteina che oltre ad avere una potente attività anti-ossidante ed anti-infiammatoria, è contraddistinta da un potente effetto favorente la re-endotelializzazione, giustificato dalla sua capacità di aumentare il numero e di ridurre l’invecchiamento di cellule progenitrici endoteliali (EPC) circolanti ed il CGRP, peptide stimolato dall’HO-1 che protegge l’endotelio e previene l’invecchiamento delle EPC circolanti mediato da Ang II. Inoltre, sono stati valutati il numero e la sopravvivenza delle EPC circolanti. I risultati della prima fase hanno dimostrato come il farmaco Olmesartan, oltre a normalizzare la pressione arteriosa in pazienti ipertesi essenziali già a 3 mesi di terapia, ha ridotto significativamente i livelli di espressione proteica di p22phox già a 3 mesi di terapia rispetto al basale (rispettivamente 0.71±0.26 vs 0.93±0.24 unità densitometriche (u.d.), p<0.001), riduzione che è risultata significativa anche a 6 mesi rispetto sia al basale (0.45±0.12 vs 0.93±0.24 u.d., p<0.001) che a 3 mesi (0.45±0.12 vs 0.71±0.26 u.d., p<0.02). Il trattamento con Olmesartan ha ridotto significativamente anche i livelli di fosforilazione delle ERK 1/2 sia dopo 3 mesi rispetto al baseline (rispettivamente 0.39±0.14 vs 0.56±0.11 u.d., p=0.001) che a 6 mesi di terapia, rispetto al basale (0.19±0.08 vs 0.56±0.11, u.d., p=0.001) e rispetto a 3 mesi (0.19±0.08 vs 0.39±0.14 u.d., p=0.001). I livelli di LDL ossidate sono risultati significativamente ridotti dopo 6 mesi di terapia, sia rispetto al basale (171.92±61.83 vs 300.84±109.13 ng/ml, p=0.001), che rispetto a 3 mesi (171.92±61.83 vs 270.06±100.34 ng/ml, p=0.002) mentre a 3 mesi rispetto al basale la riduzione non era significativa (270.06±100.34 vs 300.84±109.13 ng/ml, p=ns). Il trattamento con Olmesartan ha, invece, determinato un significativo aumento dei livelli di espressione proteica di HO-1 rispetto al basale sia a 3 mesi di terapia (1.10±0.19 vs 0.77±0.071 u.d., p=0.001) che a 6 mesi (1.11±0.19 vs 0.77±0.071 u.d., p=0.001), mentre la variazione non è risultata significativa tra 3 e 6 mesi di trattamento (1.10±0.19 vs 1.11±0.19 u.d., p=ns). Nella seconda parte dello studio, confermando quanto riscontrato precedentemente, il trattamento con Olmesartan ha incrementato significativamente i livelli di espressione proteica di HO-1 rispetto al basale sia a 3 mesi (0.95±0.21 vs 0.81±0.21 u.d., p=0.031) che a 6 mesi (1.1±0.26 vs 0.81±0.21 u.d., p=0.001) con un aumento significativo anche nel confronto tra 3 e 6 mesi (0.95±0.21 vs 1.1±0.26 u.d., p=0.01). L’Olmesartan ha, inoltre, indotto un significativo aumento dei livelli plasmatici di CGRP dopo 6 mesi di terapia sia rispetto al basale (263.91±43.08 vs 198.81±51.98 pg/ml, p=0.001), che rispetto a 3 mesi (263.91±43.08 vs 218.97±41.13 pg/ml, p=0.03). Un aumento nel numero di EPC circolanti, espresse come CD34+KDR+, CD133+KDR+ e CD34+CD133+KDR+, è risultato significativo a 6 mesi di trattamento con Olmesartan sia rispetto al basale (rispettivamente 112.89±53.44 vs 35.11±25.98, p=0.005 per CD34+KDR+; 107.60±37.09 vs 20.90±14.58, p=0.0001 per CD133+KDR+; 38.11±19.64 vs 3.67±3.61, p=0.0007 per CD34+ CD133+KDR+) che a 3 mesi (112.89±53.44 vs 59.11±35.30, p=0.002 per CD34+KDR+; 107.60±37.09 vs 49.50±45.20, p=0.003 per CD133+KDR+; 38.11±19.64 vs 15.78±18.59, p=0.0028 per CD34+ CD133+KDR+). L’apoptosi delle cellule EPC, valutata mediante analisi citofluorimetrica del legame tra annessina V e fosfatidilserina espressa sulle cellule CD133+KDR+, è risultata significativamente ridotta già a 3 mesi di trattamento con Olmesartan (27.24± 9.64% vs 44.28 ± 12.38%, p<0.01) e si è ulteriormente ridotta in modo significativo a 6 mesi sia rispetto al basale (16.83±15.68% vs 44.28 ±12.38%, p<0.001) che rispetto a 3 mesi (16.83±15.68 vs 27.24±9.64% %, p< 0.004) (Calò LA et al, 2014). In conclusione, questo studio dimostra un effetto inibitorio dell’Olmesartan sullo stress ossidativo e sulle proteine correlate coinvolte nel signalling intracellulare dello stress ossidativo in pazienti con ipertensione essenziale. Inoltre, dimostra che l’Olmesartan possiede un effetto vasoprotettivo mediato dalla riduzione dello stress ossidativo indotto dall’Ang II e dall’aumento degli effetti benefici del CGRP sulla disfunzione endoteliale, dovuti anche all’aumento del numero delle EPC circolanti e della loro sopravvivenza/funzionalità. I nostri dati, inoltre, forniscono un razionale meccanicistico dell’azione anti-ossidante, anti-infiammatoria e vasoprotettiva, forniscono il razionale meccanicistico agli effetti anti-aterosclerotici, antiinfiammatori e di anti-remodeling di Olmesartan riportati da trials clinici come MORE (Stumpe KO et al 2007), OLIVUS (Hirohata A et al, 2010), EUTOPIA (Fliser D et al, 2004) e VIOS (Smith RD et al, 2006)

Full textEsta Tesis se centra en el estudio de las perturbaciones conducidas generadas por un ondulador de tensión en configuración de puente y alimentado de red a través de un rectificador no controlado. El objetivo de esta Tesis es poder identificar el origen de las perturbaciones y poder cuantificar de una forma relativamente rápida y sencilla el efecto de diversos factores (topología, lay-out, técnicas de modulación y tipo de componentes) sobre la propagación de las mismas. Para ello se ha desarrollado una metodología de estudio que es perfectamente válida y aplicable sin grandes dificultades a otro tipo de topologías, utilicen o no la conmutación dura. El método de estudio se basa en la estructura fuente-medio de propagación-perturbación y en el planteamiento de circuitos equivalentes de parámetros concentrados, cuyas ecuaciones son resueltas en el dominio frecuencial. En esta metodología, que permite discriminar la contribución de los dos modos de propagación (modo común, MC, y modo diferencial, MD) al nivel global de perturbación, se ha primado la sencillez y robustez de simulación del modelo frente a la exactitud. El método propuesto ofrece buenos resultados hasta una frecuencia de 5MHz aproximadamente.
En el Capítulo 1 se introduce el problema planteado por las perturbaciones electromagnéticas generadas por los convertidores conmutados, se describe y caracteriza todo el instrumental (analizador de espectros, red artificial, pinza amperimetrica de alta frecuencia), la planta experimental así como la herramienta matemática utilizada.
En el Capítulo 2 se aborda el tema de la caracterización del medio de propagación de las perturbaciones. En primer lugar se describe el método de medida de impedancias utilizado, que es una de las aportaciones de la Tesis, para después presentar los resultados obtenidos a la hora de caracterizar las impedancias significativas del sistema. A partir de estas medidas se obtienen circuitos equivalentes de parámetros concentrados que caracterizan el medio de propagación.
En el Capítulo 3 se estudian las perturbaciones que generan individualmente el rectificador de entrada y el ondulador. El estudio se lleva a cabo sobre una configuración monofásica para una mayor simplicidad del mismo. En este Capítulo se caracteriza la fuente de perturbación en el caso de ambos convertidores y, junto con la caracterización del camino de propagación obtenida en el Capítulo 2, se calculan las perturbaciones generadas. Gracias a los modelos obtenidos es posible calcular el efecto de diversos parámetros sobre las perturbaciones y la contribución de ambos modos de propagación (modo común y diferencial) al nivel final de perturbación.
En el Capítulo 4 se combinan los resultados obtenidos en el Capítulo 3 para obtener la perturbación que se propaga hacia la red en la asociación en cascada de ambos convertidores. Tanto en el Capítulo 3 como en el Capítulo 4 la validación del modelo se lleva a cabo por comparación de los resultados experimentales con los obtenidos por simulación.
Una vez cumplidos los objetivos de la Tesis, el Capítulo 5 ilustra la validez de la metodología desarrollada en el Capítulo 3. En el Capítulo 5 se aplica esta metodología al estudio de las perturbaciones en MC generadas por el ondulador y que se propagan hacia la carga. Este Capítulo es una extensión al caso trifásico y un ejemplo de aplicación de gran interés industrial. En este Capítulo aparece una de las aportaciones de la Tesis: una técnica de modulación orientada a la reducción del MC generado por el ondulador. Para demostrar la validez del modelo se comparan las medidas de corriente en MC en el lado carga con los valores obtenidos a partir del modelo.
Las conclusiones de la Tesis aparecen en el Capítulo 6. También se describen los trabajos futuros que se sugieren a partir de los resultados de la Tesis.
OF THE THESIS
The subject of this Thesis is to study conducted disturbances produced by a voltage source inverter supplied from the mains through a rectifier. The main goal is to identify the origin of conducted disturbances and also quantify in a quick and easy way the influence of different factors (topology and lay-out of the converter, switching patterns, components) on EMI . In order to achieve this goal, a systematic analysis approach has been developed. This new methodology can be easily applied to any converter topology, whatever the kind of switching (soft or hard) is used. The analysis is based on the source of noise-propagation path-disturbance approach and consists in the setting out of two equivalent circuits of lumped parameters, one for each mode of propagation. This separate treatment of both modes of propagation allows the calculation of their contribution to the global level of disturbance. Equations drawn from these equivalent circuits are solved in the frequency domain. This approach avoids all the problems of time-domain simulations and provides robust and quick simulations rather than very accurate results. The simulation results of this methodology show a good agreement with experimental measures up to 5MHz.
Chapter 1 describes problems caused by electromagnetic disturbances generated by switched power converters. The state of the art about this matter is presented. All instruments used to carry out measures (spectrum analyser, LISN, HF current clamp) are described and modelled. The experimental set-up is thoroughly described. Also some considerations about mathematical tools used are presented.
Chapter 2 is devoted to study the propagation path of disturbances. First of all, the impedance measuring method is described, which is one of the contributions of the Thesis. After that, main impedances of the system are identified and measured. From these results, equivalent circuits of lumped parameters that model the main impedances of the propagation path are derived.
In Chapter 3, disturbances generated in a single phase arrangement by the rectifier and the inverter working separately are studied. Source of noise in both cases are identified and modelled. Finally, disturbances are calculated taking into account results of Chapter 2.
Results obtained in Chapter 3 are combined in Chapter 4 in order to obtain the disturbance reaching the mains when both converters (rectifier and inverter) are connected in cascade. Experimental validation of the model are presented in Chapters 3 and 4, by comparing results of measures with those provided by simulation.
Once main goals of the Thesis are achieved, Chapter 5 shows the validity of the methodology developed in Chapter 3 when it is used to calculate the CM currents in the load side of a three-phase inverter. In this Chapter another contribution of the Thesis is presented: a new modulation technique for three-phase inverters specially intended to reduce CM currents in the load side. Comparison between simulation results and measurements show a good agreement.
The conclusions of the Thesis are summarised in Chapter 6. The future works suggested by the results of the Thesis are also presented.

Full textThis report presents an analysis of the solar power optimizer regarding its electromagnetic compatibility. The purpose is to investigate the effect of the solar power optimizer from an electromagnetic compatibility and interference perspective. The analysis is based on measurements of a photovoltaic installation, carried out in collaboration with the Swedish National Electrical Safety Board. The result from the measurements presents interference that can be derived from the optimizer. Finally, exceeded requirements are discussed based on Swedish and European regulations.
