Abstract:
Occupational exposure to asbestos is associated with increased incidence of lung fibrosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Concern has been expressed that other mineral fibres could have similar effects. Uncertainties arise through inadequate understanding of the mechanisms underlying disease. This study examined the role of oxygen free radicals in the toxicity of asbestos and man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF). Several mineral fibres, as a consequence of their iron contents, are able to generate hydroxyl radicals in aqueous solution. Here, crocidolite asbestos and size selected MMVF (the Thermal Insulation Manufacturers' Association fibres), of known iron contents, were compared in their ability to hydroxylate guanine, either as 2-deoxyguanosine or in isolated calf thymus DNA in aqueous solutions using 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as an end point. The relative activities of the fibres varied depending on experimental conditions and sample characteristics. Activity could not be correlated with iron content. RCFl and MMVF21 were particularly active under mildly acidic conditions. No fibre tested, (including crocidolite asbestos and the carcinogenic zeolite, erionite), induced 8-OHdG formation in cellular DNA, indicating that oxidative DNA damage may not be involved in fibre induced neoplasia. Free radicals contributed to the cytotoxicity of crocidolite but this was slight in comparison to the physical effects of fibre dimension. The MMVF generally demonstrated similar low toxicities. The high catalytic activity of MMVF21 and RCFl was not reflected in measures of cytotoxicity (arachidonic acid and lactate dehydrogenase release and colony forming efficiency) although MMVF21 induced significantly increased transformation frequency in C3H10T1/2 cells. By comparing the catalytic activities of the MMVFs with their in vitro and in vivo toxicity it was concluded that free radicals are not significant mediators of fibre pathogenesis. The measurement of free radical activity in cell free systems was considered to be of little value in the hazard assessment of fibres.

PROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA
A presente tese apresenta uma reflexão sobre como poderia ser desenvolvida uma abordagem filosófica no ensino, procurando pensar a sua importância no contexto atual, e com que objetivos ela deveria ser proposta como modo de ensinar. Para tanto, a pesquisa se debruçou sobre o pensamento de Friedrich Nietzsche e de Hans-Georg Gadamer, dois autores que partem de um olhar perspectivista e interpretativo do conhecimento, porém pensando a partir de épocas e com propostas educacionais significativamente diferentes. Após um introdutório panorama acerca do desenvolvimento da hermenêutica, com vistas a contextualizar e explicitar as vinculações históricas e filosóficas entre os dois autores, o movimento seguinte desta investigação procura compreender e contrabalançar as ideias que ambos apresentam em relação à nossa lida com a linguagem e com o arcabouço de conhecimentos já existentes, os quais configuram a nossa conjuntura (história, tradição) e constituem aspectos basilares para qualquer reflexão sobre conhecimento e formação. A noção de formação é justamente o foco da sequência deste trabalho. Nesse momento são contrastadas as propostas formativas de Nietzsche e de Gadamer a partir das análises que estes fazem de suas épocas e dos objetivos que cada um defende para o ensino. A partir desse ponto torna-se possível uma decisão sobre que tipo de abordagem filosófica se justifica como modo de ensinar para os dias atuais. Em seu momento final, o trabalho procura delimitar tal proposta de abordagem filosófica e ressaltar quais aspectos e práticas devem fazer parte das experiências de ensino que a tomem como modelo.
This thesis reflects on how a philosophical approach to learning could be developed, its importance in the current context and the aims that justify this proposal as a way of teaching. The analysis explores Nietzsche s and Gadamer s work, authors who start from a perspectivist and interpretative standpoint on knowledge. However, they wrote in different historical periods and, consequently, developed different educational proposals. A panoramic introduction on the hermeneutical perspective intends to contextualize and to clarify the historical and philosophical connections between both authors. The next stage of the analysis is to confront Nietzsche s and Gadamer s ideas about language and the prior knowledge that configures our historical tradition, both of which constitute fundamental features for any analysis of knowledge and education. The concept of education (formation) then establishes the focus of the rest of this work. Nietzsche s and Gadamer s proposals for education are contrasted in relation to their contextualized analyses and the objectives each one defends for education. Based on this discussion, a decision becomes possible about which philosophical approach is justified as a basis for teaching nowadays. The thesis then delimits such a philosophical approach and emphasizes which aspects and practices should constitute the learning experience that appropriates the proposed philosophical approach as an ideal.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine how children interact with each other in the free play. My questions have been which access strategies children use, how they use secondary adjustments and how they use language in order to gain position and status in the play. The study has been characterized by a qualitative research-oriented method, with interpretive analysis and qualitative interviews. The data collection was done through observations and conversations with children about their play. The children in the study are between the ages of three and five-years-old. The weakness of this study has been that I haven’t had enough children to observe and interview, because I didn’t get the parents approval to use their children in the study. This might have affected the result. The theories I have used in the analysis has been Löfdahl's theories of secondary adjustments and play acts and Corsaro's theories about how children's use of language in play varies depending on what status they have and his theories of access strategies.  The study shows that children are aware of what social codes they should follow in their pre-school groups. The results showed that the children have developed various secondary adjustments, both to teachers and other children in the group. The most common entry strategy to gain access to a play was request for access. This was such an approved strategy, the children rarely tried to gain access by any other strategies. The children showed awareness of which status the other children in the group had, children with a higher status, more often were allowed to have the control in play.

Abstract:
Den 1 juli 2018 implementerades den så kallade samtyckeslagen i Sverige, vilket bland annat innebar en revidering i våldtäktsbestämmelsen. Från att vara krav på våld, hot, tvång eller utnyttjande av särskild utsatt situation för straffansvar till dagens rekvisit brist på frivillighet. Debatten kring en samtyckesreglering har pågått under en längre tid i Sverige, där det ej införts tidigare dels på grund av att risken att fokus på målsägande i utredningar och rättegångar skulle bli för stort. Syftet med rapporten är därmed att undersöka hur arbetssättet hos brottsutredarna har förändrats sedan lagändringen, samt vad de upplever för eventuella svårigheter och möjligheter i arbetet. Detta har studerats genom fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med utredare anställda av Polismyndigheten med kravet att de ska ha utrett våldtäktsärenden både innan och efter lagändringen. Genom studiens resultat uppkom fem huvudteman; Bevisning, Rättssäkerhet, Vidareutbildning, Målsägandebiträdets roll och Frozen fright. Kort sammanfattat ansåg informanterna att arbetssättet överlag var oförändrat, dock med andra typer av frågor i förhör med målsägande och misstänkt. De upplevde det nya rekvisitet som tydligt men det gick att antyda att de hade önskat mer utbildning i samband med implementeringen. Ett målsägandebiträde spelar enligt informanterna en stor roll i utredningen och kan vara till stor hjälp i deras arbete. Frozen fright är enligt utredarna ett vanligt förekommande tillstånd bland personer utsatta för våldtäkt och det har undersökts i syfte att det med dagens lagstiftning klassas som en våldtäkt om någon utnyttjar en person som befinner sig i denna utsatta situation. Förhoppningen är att rapportens slutsatser kan användas vid implementering av lagar i Brottsbalken samt bidra med kunskap i det fortsatta brottsutredande arbetet och inom rättsväsendet.
The 1st of July 2018 the consent law was implemented in Sweden, which among other things meant a revision in the Rape Act. From requirements of violence, threat, constraint or exploitation of a particularly vulnerable situation for criminal liability to today's necessary prerequisite lack of free will. The debate on consent regulation has been on for a long time in Sweden, with the main reason for not being introduced earlier is because of the risk that focus on the plaintiff in investigations and trials would be too big. The purpose of this report is hence to investigate how the way of working among the criminal investigators has been altered since the change in the law, and what difficulties and possibilities they experience in their work. This have been studied through five semi-structured interviews with investigators employed by the Swedish police authority with the requirement that they should have been investigating rape cases both before and after the change in the law. Five main themes arose through the study's results; Evidence, Legal certainty, Education, The role of the plaintiff’s counsel and Frozen fright. In short, the investigators considered that their way of working was generally unchanged, but with other types of questions in questioning of the plaintiff and suspect. They perceived the new prerequisite as easy to interpret, however, the implementation could have come with more education. According to the informants, a plaintiff’s counsel plays a major role in the investigation and can be of great help in their work. Frozen fright is according to the investigators a common condition among people exposed to rape, in current jurisdiction, it is classified as rape if someone exploits a person who is in this vulnerable situation, therefore why this is studied. The expectation is that the report’s conclusions can be used in the implementation of laws and contribute with knowledge in the continued criminal investigation and in the judiciary.

Abstract:
With a background in the 17th century’s English political events, but also the ideological scene of that time, the purpose of this essay is to analyze two concepts, freedom and happiness, in Thomas Hobbes’s political writings. Hobbes is well known for his political works, mostly for Leviathan, where his thoughts about government and religion are exposed. But what does he say about freedom? And what about happiness? The study shows that Hobbes’s political thought is quite original from this aspect too. Freedom and happiness are defined both from an individual and a political perspective. His philosophical system is based on materialism and mechanism, and so is his view on the concepts of freedom and happiness. In the study of the concept of freedom attention is paid to another concept associated in a way with freedom: free will. Both Hobbes’ view on free will and the connection between the two of them are highlighted. The aim is to find a connection between freedom and happiness in Hobbes political philosophy. It is found, but it changes according to the perspective one starts to look at it. The title is a question: You are free, so are you happy? Looking into Hobbes’s political writings an attempt to answer this question is made. One conclusion can be: one can be both free and happy as part of a society.

Abstract:
Roman Palester (1907 –1989) was as one of the most promising and well-known composers in Poland during the inter-war period. Yet, following the creation of the Polska Rzeczpospolita Ludowa [Polish People’s Republic] (PRL) between 1945-52, the tightening of political control over art in 1949, and Palester’s defection to the West in 1951 he has all but disappeared from Polish musical life. This study seeks to address Palester’s absence from the musical scene by exploring how Palester, as a composer in exile, negotiated the politics of the Cold War in both Eastern and Western Europe, and what effect this had on his life, career, and music. This will be achieved by tracking Palester’s life from his early years as a student in Warsaw, through the Second World War, the instigation of a communist regime in Poland, his defection to France and later Germany, his work at Radio Free Europe (RFE), and his brief reintroduction to Poland in the 1980s. Palester’s evolving compositional voice will also be examined: exploring his use of neoclassicism, his brief foray into folklorism, the development of his own form of twelve-tone technique, experimentation with ‘limited aleatorism’, expressionist tendencies, and attempts to synthesise these various techniques into a singular compositional voice. This will be achieved by critically discussing a select number of Palester’s pivotal musical works: Psalm V, Requiem, Symphony No. 3, Preludes for Piano, La Mort de Don Juan, and Symphony No. 5. The findings of this study show that the unique political environment of the Cold War and Palester’s exile had a profound impact on his career and reception but suggest that his musical style was shaped primarily by his own artistic principles.

Abstract:
The main aim of this thesis is the design of an optical wireless link that is transmitted in free space, in the atmosphere. The thesis describes the composition of heads of the atmospheric optical link. One part of this work focuses on the issue of the spread of optical beam in the atmosphere. The facts which have a major impact on the transmission of optical radiation in free space are pointed out here as well. In this work phenomena of absorption, refraction of light, turbulence and dispersion are discussed. Wavelengths spread in the atmosphere with different decline and therefore this thesis provides an analysis of the use of wavelengths between 750 and 1600 nm depending on the meteorological visibility. It describes the basis of the design of AOS through stationary model using power balance equation. It depicts the description of the statistical model, which makes possible to determine the availability on the basis of probability. Current possibilities of AOS are in general described in this work. The practical part of the work is focused on the design of simulation model of transmitter and receiver AOS in the program Pspice. The receiver and transmitter are designed to replace transiver in the media converter. The receiver plays a key role, and therefore big part of the thesis is given to it. Receiver model is composed of a photodiode and of an transimpedance amplifier. The receiver circuit has been tested. The model of transmitter shows the principle of modulating of current, which flows in laser diode. This work does not carried the model of atmosphere, which would serve as a link between the receiver and the transmitter. The circuit of the receiver is subjected to the noise analysis. Parameter NEP and SNR is designed. Link budget is calculated for models of the receivers and the transmitters. The maximum distance of heads is set based on the requirements for a BER error rate which combine this condition. The design of the practical implementation results from the models of transmitters and receivers. Printed circuit boards are designed in EAGLE. Within the frame of this thesis no curcuit diagram is carried out.

Abstract:
This study is a netnography of an online gluten-free community through the scope of the Facebook group "Gluten Free." The objective of this qualitative inquiry is to investigate the key characteristics of this online gluten-free community and gain a deeper understanding of member purposes for participation. Employing the method of netnography allows for an unobtrusive exploration of the community by discreetly utilizing anthropological techniques in an online setting. Despite growing awareness, no academic research has yet been conducted on the social aspects of the online gluten-free community. The thematic findings that emerged from this study were two-fold. First, this investigation revealed three key characteristic themes in the content of community posts: suspiciousness and distrust, defensiveness and frustration, and passion and determination. Second, this analysis discovered three purposive themes for member participation: validation, friendship, and education. The findings of this study render a thick description of the unique culture of the online gluten-free community, sharpen the academic understanding of online communities, and strengthen the valuable method of netnography.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om barn i enlighet med FN:s konvention om barns rättigheter har möjlighet till att fritt delta i det kulturella och konstnärliga livet i förskolans utbildning samt om de utifrån läroplanen ges tid, rum och ro till eget skapande. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur barn åskådliggör sina möjligheter till eget/fritt skapande, vilket skapande som barnen anser vara viktigt och vad de väljer att framhäva samt i vilken form skapandet tar sig uttryck. Studien behandlar dessutom de handlingserbjudanden barn möter i förskolan och hur dessa påverkar skapandet. Vi har använt oss av vår nya metod digitala gåturer, där barnen själva och med stöd av en förskollärare har fått visa och berätta om sitt skapande för oss. Resultatet av studien visar att platsen är viktig för de möjligheter och handlingserbjudanden barn möter i förskolan. Vi ser även hur barns skapande tar sig många olika uttrycksformer samt att barn genom sitt aktörskap transformerar och erövrar platser och material. Slutsatsen av studien är att det är viktigt att vi noggrant ser över utformningen av förskolans miljöer samt tillgång till material för att eget/fritt skapande ska kunna uppnås. Då barnen använder många olika tillvägagångssätt i processen av sitt skapande blir det även viktigt att synliggöra och värdesätta resultatet av vad processen har lett till. Slutligen visar även studien att metoden digitala gåturer är en tillförlitlig och modern metod för att åskådliggöra barns perspektiv.

Analisar as dinâmicas de ocupação do espaço da vila de Lages, situada no caminho das tropas entre os campos de Curitiba e de Viamão, no final do século XVIII e primeiras décadas do XIX, constitui-se em objetivo central deste trabalho. Para tanto, através das trajetórias de indivíduos de diferentes origens e cor, analisamos a formação agrária e social desse espaço. Nas propriedades agrícolas dos campos de Lages, além da criação de animais (vacuns, cavalares e muares) para comercialização primeiramente no mercado de Sorocaba (SP) e depois de Desterro (SC), havia a produção agrícola de mantimentos para o consumo nas propriedades, e os parcos excedentes eram comercializados no pequeno núcleo urbano da vila. Nas propriedades (fazendas, sítios e chácaras), viviam lado a lado homens livres e cativos. Em geral, os proprietários de sítios e chácaras tinham sua mão de obra formada pelo núcleo familiar, e esporadicamente havia a presença de agregados e um ou dois cativos. Já os senhores de fazendas viviam com suas famílias, cativos e agregados. Ser proprietário de terras e de cativos não era exclusividade para brancos; pardos e pretos também o eram.
Analyzing the dynamics of space occupation of Lages village, situated on the way of troops between the fields of Curitiba and Viamão, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, constitutes a central objective of this work. Therefore, through the trajectories of individuals from different backgrounds and color, we analyze the agrarian and social formation of these places. On farms of Lages fields, besides breeding (vacuns, horsy and mules) for marketing starting in Sorocaba (SP) markets followed by Desterro (SC), there was the agricultural production of food for internal expenses in the properties, and the meager excess were sold in small urban center of the village. In the properties (farms and ranches), lived side by side free and captive men. In general, the owners of sites and farms had their labor formed by the nuclear family, and occasionally had the presence of aggregates and one or two captives. On the other hand, the lords of farms were living with their families, captives and aggregates. Being landowner and captives was not exclusive to whites; browns and blacks also were.

Full text
Abstract:
Ce travail porte sur le concept d’ingenium dans la philosophie de Spinoza, qui désigne la complexion affective singulière d’un homme ou d’un peuple. En raison de son univocité, il constitue un concept-pivot du système, soulevant des enjeux éthiques et politiques, mais aussi physiques, ontologiques et épistémologiques. Il s’agit d’abord d’analyser les rapports entre l’ingenium d’un homme et la notion d’individu, l’essence singulière d’un homme, et les genres de connaissance. L’objectif est de montrer le concept d’ingenium permet de penser l’individualisation des hommes à partir des affects, ainsi que leur identité affective, la notion d’identité subissant plusieurs décentrements. Il s’agit ensuite de traiter la question de l’unité et de l’individualité du peuple à l’aune du concept d’ingenium. Cette thèse soutient qu’un peuple n’est pas un individu au sens d’Éthique II, bien qu’il tende à s’en approcher. L’ingenium du peuple définit néanmoins l’identité affective d’un peuple, en interrogeant de nouveau la notion d’identité. Cette thèse s’attache aussi à déterminer la part d’imitation d’autrui et d’invention de soi dans la constitution de l’ingenium. Si l’imitation d’autrui renvoie d’abord à l’imitation des affects, l’invention de soi peut s’entendre au sens d’une découverte, mais aussi au sens d’un art qui procède à l’invention de règles pour la conduite de la vie. L’imitation d’autrui apparaît la plus déterminante dans la genèse de l’ingenium passionnel, mais l’ingenium de l’homme libre et du sage procèdent davantage de l’invention de soi. L’homme libre découvre sa propre nature et se ressaisit lui-même comme une partie dans le tout, mais il s’exerce aussi à appliquer la règle de vie droite. Le sage apprend à connaître son essence, mais il fait aussi la découverte de ce qui, en lui, dépasse son individualité, l’entendement, qui constitue, avec les autres modeséternels du penser, l’entendement de Dieu. La découverte de soi conduit ainsi à la découverte d’un nous. À l’échelle d’un peuple, l’imitation des affects assure un rôle décisif dans la constitution de la complexion d’un peuple. Les gouvernants doivent aussi inventer des institutions adéquates à l’ingenium du peuple. Cette invention est d’abord comprise comme la découverte d’un nous à travers l’histoire. Elle prend aussi la forme d’un art qui procède à l’invention de règles pour la vie en commun. Spinoza formule en effet l’exigence normative de créer des institutions adaptées à la complexion du peuple. Il importe de recueillir le consentement du peuple aux lois pour que l’exercice de l’imperium soit légitime
This piece of work concerns the concept of ingenium in Spinoza’s philosophy, which corresponds to the singular affective complexion of a man or of the people. Because of its univocity, it constitutes a pivotal concept of the system, which raises ethical and political issues, but also physical, ontological and epistemological ones. First, I analyse the relations between the ingenium of a man and the notion of individual, the singular essence of a man, and the different kinds of knowledge. The aim is to demonstrate that the concept of ingenium allows us to think the individualization of men through affects and their affective identity. The notion of identity is decentered on several aspects. Then I deal with the people’s unity and identity from the perspective of the concept of ingenium. This doctoral thesis supports the idea that the people is not an individual in the meaning of Ethics II, even if he tends to be close to it. The ingenium of the people defines nonetheless the affective identity of the people, and questions again the notion of identity. Besides, this doctoral thesis aims at determining the part of imitation of others and invention of the self in the constitution of the ingenium. If the imitation of others refers primarily to the imitation of affects, the invention of the self can be understood as a discovery, but also as an art which implies the invention of rules for the conduct of life. The imitation of others appears as the most determining in the genesis of the ingenium made of passions, but the ingenium of the free man and the wise are more determined by the invention of the self. The free man discovers his own nature and recovers himself as a part of the whole, but he also exerts himself to apply the rule of the right conduct in life. The wise learns to know his essence, but he also discovers what goes beyond his individuality within himself, the intellect, which constitutes, with other eternal modes of thinking, the intellect of God. Thus, the discovery of the self aims at the discovery of a we. At the level of the people, the imitation of affects assumes a decisive role in the constitution of the people’s complexion. The rulers shall also invent institutions which are adequate to the ingenium of the people. This invention is firstly understood as the discovery of a we through history. It also takes the form of an art which implies the invention of rules for the life in a community.

Abstract:
Magistrinio darbo problematikos formulavimas vadovaujasi prielaida, jog dalis moderniosios filosofijos projektų formavosi kaip reakcija į Vakarų Europos mąstymo tradiciją, kurios formuojantį pagrindą sudarė filosofija. Dėl šios priežasties neatsiejamu šių projektų egzistavimo požymiu laikytina nuosekli filosofijos istorijos kritika, tuo pačiu pateikianti alternatyvius filosofijos supratimo orientyrus. Tokiu radikaliu filosofijos sąjūdžiu, XX a. laikomas egzistencializmas. Magistriniam darbui pasirinktos dvi filosofų figūros: Rosenzweigas ir Heideggeris. Abu filosofai kritiškai reflektavo filosofijos istoriją bei abu pateikė alternatyvius mąstymo projektus. Pagrindiniu Vakarų tradicijos kritikos bei naujo mąstymo suformulavimo svarbiausiu aspektu laikome fundamentalų „pirminių mąstymo prielaidų” perklausimą. Atlikęs tokį perklausimą bei taip atsiribojęs nuo „mąstymo metafizikos”, Rosenzweigas susikuria naujas prieigas prie tikėjimo problematikos. Panaudodamas Johano Wolfgango Geothes profenomeno sampratos bei savo mokytojo – Hermanno Coheno diferencialinės matematikos teorijos idėjas, jis pateikia trijų (metafizinio Dievo, metaloginio pasaulio ir metaetinio žmogaus) profenomenų aprašymą. Metaetinio žmogaus sąmonės struktūros gretinimas su „naujojo mąstymo” (tokį pavadinimą Rosenzweigas pats prisiskiria savo filosofijai) pirminėmis prielaidomis, atveda prie dialoginės (Zwiesprache) apreiškimo (Offenbarung) sąmonės struktūros aprašymo. Tik apreiškimo sąmonei atsiveria pirmapradė... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
The formulation of theme in this paper is followed the assumption that a part of projects of modern philosophy were generated as a reaction to the tradition of Western Europe thinking, which was influenced by philosophy. That is the reason why coherent criticism of history of philosophy, in the same time giving the perception guides of philosophy, is considered as a concurrent attribute of that project existence. Existentialism of the 20th century is considered as such radical movement of philosophy. Two philosophical figures were chosen from this general context: Rosenzweig and Heidegger. Both thinkers made critical reflections on history of philosophy and both give the alternative projects of thinking. The fundamental reasking of „prime thought assumptions” is considered as an important aspect of main criticism of Western tradition and the formulation of new thinking. After this performed reasking and disassociation from “metaphysics of thought”, Rosenzweig creates new approaches to the faith theme. Using the prophenomenon perception of Johan Wolfgang Geothe and his teachers, Herman Cohen’s ideas about diferencial mathematics theory, he presents description of three prophenomenon (metaphysical God, metalogical world and metaethical man). The comparison of consequence’s structure of metaethical man with prime assumptions of “new thought” (this definition Rosenzweig attributes to his own philosophy) leads to description of dialogical (Zwiesprache) revelational (Offenbarung)...

Abstract:
In meiner Doktorarbeit untersuche ich ein Kac-artiges Vielteilchen-Modell, das eine Beschreibung von plastischen Verformungen ohne Verwendung einer Referenz-Konfiguration ermöglicht. Im Rahmen des Modells wird die Verformung eines Körpers durch Angabe von Atompositionen beschrieben. Es wird eine Mesoskala zwischen der Mikroskala der Atom-Atom Abstände und der Makroskala des Körpers eingeführt. Um jeden Punkt wird die Konfiguration auf dieser Mesoscala mit einem Bravais-Gitters approximiert. Die Matrix, die dieses Gitter aufspannt, wird als Argument eines elastischen Energiefunktionals verwendet. Auf diese Weise wird ein Energiefunktional definiert, das die Eigenschaften des Systems festlegt. Im Ersten Teil meiner Doktorarbeit analysiere ich das Modell im Fall das eine Referenz-Konfiguration lokal existiert. Ich schätze die Energiedichte einer solchen Konfiguration mit einer Störungsrechung von oben ab und erhalte eine obere Schranke für die Energiebarriere für plastische Relaxation in zwei Dimensionen. Im zweiten Teil untersuche ich Möglichkeiten Lagrange-Koordinaten im Rahmen des Modells zu konstruieren. Ich beweise, dass für zwei Punkte deren Abstand klein genug sind und die bestimmte Regularitätseigenschaften erfüllen, die Gitterparameter der approximierenden Bravais-Gitter bis auf eine Reparametrisierung nahe beieinander liegen müssen. Dies erlaubt diskrete Ketten von regulären Punkten zur Definition von Homotopieklassen zu benutzen die mit verallgemeinerten Burgers-Vektoren charakterisiert werden. Es ist mit dieser Technik auch möglich die Kernenergie von Versetzungen nach unten abzuschätzen. Schließlich passe ich eine Methode kontinuierliche Lagrange-Koordinaten, die von L. Mugnai und S. Luckhaus entwickelt wurden, an das Model an und verbessere sie dergestalt, dass ich die Energiedichte mit Hilfe eines Funktionales der Lagrange-Koordinaten nach unten abschätzen kann
I study a Kac-type many particle model that allows a reference-free description of plastic deformation.In the framework of the model the state of the body is given by a set of atom position. The typical atom-atom distance is the microscopic scale. The size of the body is the macroscopic scale. Around each point a lattice is fitted to the configuration on a mesoscopic scale. The lattice parameters are used as an argument of a non-linear elasticity energy functional. Hence, this procedure allows to define an free-energy functional of a particle configuration. In the first part of my thesis I analyze the model in the case that a reference configuration exists locally. I bound the energy-density of such a configuration from above with a pertubative calculation and obtain an upper bound for the energy barrier of plastic deformation for dimension two. In the second part I explore the possibility to construct Lagrangian coordinates in the framework of the model. I prove that for two points that are close to each other and that fulfill certain regularity assumptions the fitted lattice parameters are close to each other up to a reparametrisation. This allows to use discrete chains of regular points for homotopy type arguments and define a generalized Burgers vector as a topological quantity. I also use this method to get a lower bound for the core energy of a dislocation. Finally, I adapt a method to construct continuous Lagrangian coordinates presented in by L.Mugnai and S.Luckhaus to my model and improve it to a point where I can use a functional of these Lagrangian coordinate as a lower bound for the energy of the model

Abstract:
Using a deterministic backoff after successful transmissions as a distributed contention mechanism for access to the channel can draw benefits from scheduled operation, like the elimination of simultaneous transmissions, and Quality of Service (QoS). Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) is a compatible protocol that implements such technique, outperforming the current Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol in WiFi. This work describes several extensions to CSMA/ECA that allows it to support many more contenders in a collision-free schedule in very diverse scenarios, while evenly distributing the available throughput among users. Further, it introduces CSMA/ECA with multiple queues for providing traffic differentiation. Lastly, it presents progressive evolutions of an off-the-shelf hardware implementation of CSMA/ECA using open source tools.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Enhanced Collision Avoidance (CSMA/ECA) és un protocol compatible que implementa aquesta tècnica, superant l'actual protocol Medium Access Control (MAC) en Wi-Fi. Aquest treball descriu diverses extensions de CSMA/CA que li permet suportar molts més contendents sense col·lisions en molt diversos escenaris, mentre distribueix equitativament el throughput entre els usuaris. A més, s'introdueix CSMA / ECA amb múltiples cues per proporcionar diferenciació de trànsit. Finalment, es presenten evolucions progressives d'una implementació de maquinari off-the-shelf de CSMA / ECA utilitzant eines de codi obert.

Abstract:
Negli ultimi dieci anni, l'uso di sensoristica inerziale nell'ambito dell'analisi del movimento ha occupato un ruolo centrale nella letteratura scientifica relativamente agli ambiti di ingegneria elettronica e biomedica. La portabilità ed il basso costo di questo tipo di strumentazione hanno generanto un cresente interesse nello sviluppo di metodologie software per ottenere informazione accurata da dati inerziali e magnetici. Nel presente lavoro è riportato uno studio su comuni scenari di applicazione di tale strumentazione in analisi del movimento, considerando tuttavia misure puramente inerziali. Indipendentemente dalla complessità delle tecniche adottabili nella compensazione dei disturbi magnetici, il presente lavoro mira ad investigare e verificare i limiti di accuratezza ottenibili adottando assetti di misura puramente inerziali, al fine di esprimere una stima dell'attendibilità di questo tipo di configurazione, imprescindibile qualora altre sorgenti di informazione siano ostacolate per periodi di misura relativamente lunghi. Gli studi presentati riguardano uno studio comparativo sulle varianti Extended ed Unscented del filtro di Kalman nella stima di orientazione e spostamento del centro di massa (CoM) durante cammino su tapis-roulant, stima del centro di pressione (CoP) e degli angoli delle articolazioni dell'arto inferiore durante postura non perturbata, pedestrian dead-reckoning. Viene presentata inoltre una metodologia personalizzata per l'allineamento dei sistemi di navigazione e locale. I risultati evidenziano accuratezze entro 2 deg (orientazione) e 1.5 mm (spostamento) nella stima del CoM e angoli dell'arto inferiore, alte correlazioni riguardanti il CoP stimato e misurato, predicibilità nella deriva d'errore nel pedestrian dead-reckoning e miglioramenti nella stima delle rapide variazioni d'orientazione (90 deg) tramite una tecnica sperimentale qui proposta.
During the last decade, the use of inertial sensors in human motion analysis has occupied a central role in the biomedical and electronic engineering scientific literature. The portability and relative low cost of such equipment opened up to a number of domestic, clynical, research and rehabilitation scenarios, leading to a growing interest in software methodologies to obtain accurate data from inertial and magnetic information. In the present dissertation a thorough study is reported regarding a series of common application of inertial sensors in human motion analysis, considering purely inertial measurements. Regardless of the complexity of the techniques that may be involved in the compensation of magnetic distorsions, the present work aims to investigate and assess the accuracy limits of purely inertial setups, in order to give an estimate of the reliability of such kind of minimal setup when other information sources are obstacled for relatively long epochs of time (if not for the whole duration of the measurement session). The present experimental studies concern a comparative study on Extended and Unscented Kalman filtering for sensor fusion in displacement and orientation estimation of human center of mass (CoM) during treadmill walking, center of pressure (CoP) and lower body joint angles estimation during unperturbed posture, pedestrian dead reckoning. A custom calibration method for navigation and local reference frames alignment in magnetometer-free setups is also reported. Results present accuracies within 2 deg (orientation) and 1.5 mm (displacement) for CoM and lower body joints angles estimations, high correlation between estimated and measured CoP, predictability in dead reckoning error drift and improvement in 90 deg turns estimation accuracy using a custom methodology.

In this dissertation we focus on the investigation about the bad based on the book VII of the Saint Augustine’s confessions, how to bad became a problem to Saint Augustine and how he searched a resolution for that was distressing for his life. The tipology was to discursivs, bibliographical research,from the lifting of antimanichaeism works of Saint Augustine.The bishop of Hippo researched the several philosophical and religious streams, the Neoplatonism and Manichaeism. However, the answers that these streams gave to the bad problematic weren’t enough to the unquiet mind of the Hipponense.This way, the main problem that was investigated in this dissertation is the conducting wire of the Augustine’s thoughts about his difficult in to accept the bad nature and its source. Because of this, the base of our investigation is the referred book VII of Augustine’s confessions. We listed what influenced the Hiponense to involve wit this subject, that is, what meaning of his life instigated him to involve and to think about the problem of the bad and, consequently, to try give an answer that exempts God to be the source of the bad. What elements made him to think and establish the Jewish- Christian like the only ontological principle that have countered the Manichaean duality. And, consequently, what’s the function that wish plays on the human actions.Our research was structured in three moments:in the first, we make a contextualization of the social,historical, and philosophical ambit of the work Saint Augustine’s confessions; in the second moment, we present the augustine’s mishap looking for the answer to the problem of bad;and, finally, we discuss specifically about theproblem of the bad in Augustine.
Nesta dissertação temos como foco central a investigação sobre o mal a partir do livro VII das Confissões de Agostinho de Hipona. Buscamos analisar de que maneira o mal se tornou um problema para Agostinho e como ele procurou elaborar uma resposta ao que foi um tema angustiante em sua vida. A tipologia foi à pesquisa discursiva, bibliográfica, a partir do levantamento das obras antimaniqueias de santo Agostinho. O bispo de Hipona transitou pelas mais diversas correntes filosóficas e religiosas, principalmente, o neoplatonismo e o maniqueísmo, porém, as respostas que estas ofereciam à problemática do mal não foram suficientes para a mente inquieta do hiponense. Desta forma, o principal problema investigado nesta dissertação é o fio condutor do pensamento agostiniano sobre a dificuldade em conceber a natureza do mal e a sua origem. Elencamos quais influências levaram o hiponense a imiscuísse com este tema, ou seja, que contexto de sua vida o levou a se envolver e a pensar o problema do mal e, consequentemente, a tentar elaborar uma resposta que isentasse a Deus de ser a origem do mal. Quais elementos o fizeram refletir e estabelecer o Deus judaico-cristão como único princípio ontológico que contrapusesse a dualidade maniqueia. E, consequentemente, qual o papel que a vontade desempenha nas ações humanas. Estruturamos nosso estudo em três momentos: o primeiro, fazemos uma contextualização de âmbito social, histórico e filosófico da obra Confissões de santo Agostinho; num segundo momento, apresentamos a peripécia agostiniana em busca de resposta ao problema do mal; e por fim, tratamos especificamente do problema do mal em Agostinho.

Abstract:
The following article begins with the old and close relationship between labor rights and international trade, a relationship that has become more important given the creation of new instruments, mechanisms and sanctions. The labor chapter of the Peru-US Trade Promotion Agreement and its application can be analyzed from different perspectives. The following article sets its focus on three distinct facets: the principle of progressivity of social rights; the legal nature of free trade agreements; and two of the current promotional labor regimes in Peruvian legislation. The article references two complaints of non-compliance with the labor chapter presented by Peruvian unions during the period since the Free Trade Agreement entered into force. Finally, the report presents conclusions that aim to contribute to the debate on this subject.
El siguiente artículo parte de antigua y cercana vinculación entre Derecho del Trabajo y el comercio internacional, relación que en los últimos años ha recobrado importancia debido a la aparición de nuevos instrumentos, mecanismos y sanciones.

Los incumplimientos a los que haremos referencia son los referidos a las dos quejas presentadas por organizaciones sindicales peruanas en el marco de los mecanismos de cumplimiento del TLC. Finalmente, se presentan algunas conclusiones que pretenden contribuir al debate sobre la materia.

Abstract:
This dissertation includes a theoretical and numerical development to simulate liquid-vapor flows and the applications to microchannels. First, we obtain a consistent non-local pressure equation for simulating liquid-vapor interfacial flows using mean-field free-energy theory. This new pressure equation is shown to be the general form of the classical van der Waals" square-gradient theory. The new equation is implemented in two-dimensional (2D) D2Q7, D2Q9, and three-dimensional (3D) D3Q19 lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The three LBM models are validated successfully in a number of analytical solutions of liquid-vapor interfacial flows. Second, we have shown that the common bounceback condition in the literature leads to an unphysical velocity at the wall in the presence of surface forces. A few new consistent mass and energy conserving velocity-boundary conditions are developed for D2Q7, D2Q9, and D3Q19 LBM models, respectively. The three LBM models are shown to have the capabilities to successfully simulate different wall wettabilities, the three typical theories or laws for moving contact lines, and liquid-vapor channel flows. Third, proper scaling laws are derived to represent the physical system in the framework of the LBM. For the first time, to the best of the author's knowledge, we obtain a flow regime map for liquid-vapor channel flows with a numerical method. Our flow map is the first flow regime map so far for submicrochannel flows, and also the first iso-thermal flow regime map for CO₂ mini- and micro-channel flows. Our results show that three major flow regimes occur, including dispersed, bubble/plug, and liquid strip flow. The vapor and liquid dispersed flows happen at the two extremities of vapor quality. When vapor quality increases beyond a threshold, bubble/plug patterns appear. The bubble/plug regimes include symmetric and distorted, submerged and non-wetting, single and train bubbles/plugs, and some combination of them. When the Weber number<10, the bubble/plug flow regime turns to a liquid strip pattern at the increased vapor quality of 0.5~0.6. When the Weber number>10, the regime transition occurs around a vapor quality of 0.10~0.20. In fact, when an inertia is large enough to destroy the initial flow pattern, the transition boundary between the bubble and strip regimes depends only on vapor quality and exists between x=0.10 and 0.20. The liquid strip flow regimes include stratified strip, wavy-stratified strip, intermittent strip, liquid lump, and wispy-strip flow. We also find that the liquid-vapor interfaces become distorted at the Weber number of 500~1000, independent of vapor quality. The comparisons of our flow maps with two typical experiments show that the simulations capture the basic and important flow mechanisms for the flow regime transition from the bubble/plug regimes to the strip regimes and from the non-distorted interfaces to the distorted interfaces. Last, our available results show that the flow regimes of both 2D and 3D fall in the same three broad categories with similar subdivisions of the flow regimes, even though the 3D duct produces some specific 3D corner flow patterns. The comparison between 2D and 3D flows shows that the flow map obtained from 2D flows can be generally applied to a 3D situation, with caution, when 3D information is not available. In addition, our 3D study shows that different wettabilities generate different flow regimes. With the complete wetting wall, the flow pattern is the most stable.

The aim of this monographic paper is to reflect upon the problem of evil. For a better understanding of the subject we decided to approach fundamental issues issues such as : what is evil, the reason of evil, its origen and mainly the meaning of evil and its suffering in relation to one s free will. Appealing to specialized bibliography, other concepts are seen essential for the understanding of this subject like: grace, freedom, divine prescience, will, love and so on. Basically all the answers about the issue of evil envolve directly or indirectly a reflection about God, in other words everything about evil envolves human suffering, and one of the strong points regarding modern atheism is why do I suffer? Where is God? Well, looking precisely through this prespective that is, approaching the issue of evil together with the issue of God arises the legitimaly and necessity to conceive and defend a right concept of as being almighty googd and fair
Uma vez que o objetivo deste trabalho monográfico é apresentar reflexões sobre a questão do problema do mal, para melhor compreensão do tema decidimos abordar questões fundamentais, tais como: o que é o mal, porque o mal, qual a sua origem e, principalmente, qual o sentido do mal e do sofrimento em relação ao livre-arbítrio. Buscando recurso na bibliografia especializada vamos encontrar outros conceitos que se apresentam como essenciais para a compreensão do tema proposto, dentre os quais destacamos: Graça, liberdade, Presciência divina, vontade, amor, etc. Não há como deixar de observar que praticamente todas as tentativas de respostas sobre a questão do mal envolvem, direta ou indiretamente, uma reflexão sobre a questão de Deus . Ou seja, toda a questão sobre o mal envolve a realidade do sofrimento humano, e uma das rochas do ateísmo moderno é justamente a questão do porque sofro? , onde está Deus? . Pois bem, é justamente dentro desta perspectiva, isto é, do afrontamento da questão do mal , arrostando conjuntamente a questão de Deus , que surge a legitimidade e a necessidade de conceber e defender um justo conceito de Deus como Onipotente, Bom e Justo

Abstract:
Cette thèse de maîtrise est une analyse du concept du retour dans les trois premiers recueils de contes publiés par Fred Pellerin : Dans mon village, il y a belle Lurette… (2001), Il faut prendre le taureau par les contes! (2003) et Comme une odeur de muscles (2005). L’objectif est de démontrer que la nostalgie pour le passé et le désir du retour aux sources représentent un concept qui revient à plusieurs reprises dans les contes de Pellerin et qu’il suscite un engouement chez ses lecteurs. En ce qui a trait à la méthodologie, cette thèse se divise en deux grandes parties intitulées respectivement « Les grands thèmes » et « Langue et procédés techniques ». La première partie porte sur l’analyse des différents motifs qui font partie intégrante de l’ensemble de l’oeuvre de Fred Pellerin: les thèmes du refuge, de la solidarité, du village, de l’histoire et du passé seront, entre autres, analysés. La deuxième partie étudie les particularités de la langue de l’auteur. L’histoire de la langue française au Québec, les niveaux de langage et les procédés techniques sont les principaux éléments qui caractériseront cette partie du travail.

Adoptant une methode clinique, ce travail analyse comment le handicap d'un enfant influence la vie psychique de ses freres et soeurs. Nous avons analyse des entretiens semi-directifs de recherche, des oeuvres litteraires, des temoignages ecrits et oraux et des cas rencontres dans le cadre d'une pratique de psychologue clinicienne. Sur les entretiens semi-directifs de recherche, nous avons fait une analyse de contenu thematique et une autre s'appuyan t sur une quantification des donnees textuelles (logiciels alceste, hyperbase et d'analyses factorielles). Nous n'avons pas situe ces deux types d'analyse dans un rapport d'opposition et de hierarchie mais de fecondation mutuelle. Nous analysons les representations de "l'enfant", de la "fratrie" et du "handicap" reperees dans la litterature pour enfants, des oeuvres litteraire, des journaux de la presse grand public et dans les travaux d'historiens. Les freres et soeurs de personnes handicapees ne peuvent, sans angoisse, s'identifier a leur pair atteint ce qui les conduit a ne pas pouvoir se separer de lui. Les freres et soeurs ont de "mauvaises" images d'eux-memes, de leurs parents et de leur pair handicape. Ils se sentent impuissants a aider leur pair atteint et leurs parents et en ressentent de la culpabilite et de la honte. Quand ces conflits ne peuvent etre verbalises, ils pesent lourd sur l'avenir professionnel, personnel et sur la vie psychique des freres et soeurs. Pour gerer ces conflits, ils mettent en place des mecanismes de defenses et des processus de deplacement plus ou moins rigides et efficaces : construction d'une famille ideale qui fait face a un environnement hostile ; transformation de l'agressivite en son contraire : sollicitude envers l'enfant atteint et leurs parents; inhibition; mise a distance, evitement; deplacement des affects agressifs
With a clinical method, the objective of this study is to understand how a child's disabilities influence the psychic life of his siblings. We analyzed semi-directional research's talk, literature work, oral and written evidences and cases of people meetings during our work as psychologists. If the semi-directional research's talk, we made a thematic analysis and an other one based on quantitative analysis of textual data (software alceste, hyperbase and factorial analysis). We have not placed these types of analysis in opposit e or hiarchical relation but in a completive one. We analyze the representations of "children", "siblings" and "disability" find in children's books, literature work, history work and new papers for a large audience. The disable siblings cannot identified themselves to their deficient brother or sister without anguish, this phenomenon makes the separation with them difficult. The siblings have a bad image of themselves, of their parents, of their handicaped sibling. They feel unable to help their parents, their handicapped brother or sister and feel guilty, shamed of their sibling and shamful. When they ca not speak about these conflicts, their personal and professional futur can be severely damaged. To face these conflicts, they use defence mechanisms and transfer processes which are more or less rigid and efficient : conceiving an ideal family which faces a hostile environment ; aggressiveness transformed into care for their parents and their handicapped child; inhibition; instauring a distance; avoiding; transfert of aggressive affect

Abstract:
Le mal est par sa nature un scandale car il se définit par ce qui ne devrait pas être à l’opposé du bien qui se présente comme ce qui doit être. Cette affirmation, qui relève de la tautologie, marque la réalité éprouvée face au mal. Il a d’abord été une évidence criante : comment réagir face aux maux de l’existence humaine ? Ainsi le mal est inscrit dans l’histoire de la pensée et commence pour notre travail avec le platonisme. Avant la conceptualisation platonicienne, le mal est une donnée factuelle de la vie avec laquelle il faut composer. Les figures divines sont ambivalentes à l’image des hommes et alternent vices et vertus. Platon postule une entité divine unique, omnisciente, omnipotente et bienveillante. Ce dieu devient intelligence, calcul et raison : le monde devient une création parfaite, belle et ordonnée et non plus le théâtre d’un affrontement entre les diverses passions des dieux. Le mal se transforme alors en un enjeu métaphysique : comment concilier cette perfection avec l’émergence du mal ? Il faut désormais expliquer et tenter de justifier la violence et les crimes. S’il est possible de proposer une théodicée qui rende le mal physique et métaphysique nécessaire, légitimer la méchanceté se révèle plus ardu. Les penseurs du platonisme, du néoplatonisme et du stoïcisme vont tenter d’apporter une première réponse au mal moral. Dans leur sillage, une rupture conceptuelle advient et révolutionne le concept : le christianisme invente le péché. En devenant péché, le mal se retrouve désormais sous la responsabilité de l’homme coupable. Le mal entre dans le giron de la liberté : il est voulu, consenti. A la suite des penseurs chrétiens, certains philosophes continueront ce travail d’élucidation de la volonté du mal. L’objectif est de retracer l’histoire de ces systèmes conceptuels qui s’entremêlent et se répondent les uns aux autres. Le mal moral se construit dans cette progression qui a des conséquences anthropologiques importantes : l’homme se pense à travers le mal. La méchanceté n’est donc pas seulement un problème à résoudre, elle devient le paradigme à travers lequel définir l’homme. Notre problématique est de montrer comment la question de la méchanceté est à la base du problème de la morale et comment elle conditionne notre représentation de la nature de la volonté humaine. Cette évolution s’est nouée lors d’étapes clés de la pensée philosophique. En effet, si dans toute philosophie morale, le concept du mal est évoqué, il n’est pas en général le centre de l’argumentaire. Le premier moment est celui de la pensée antique. Platon fait naître Dieu et le monde dans l’histoire des concepts puis se retrouve face l’énigme de nos crimes. La théodicée mise en place et qui sera reprise par Plotin et les Stoïciens ne cessera de nier l’existence d’un instinct pervers. Le mal voulu est une absurdité. L’irruption de la faute chrétienne bouleverse la donne. Saint Augustin en sera le théoricien le plus investi affectivement. Ayant expérimenté une double conversion dans sa vie spirituelle, il théorise une méchanceté issue de notre faiblesse, de notre faute première. Le mal est voulu car il n’est plus possible de vouloir autre chose. Saint Anselme reprend également le dogme de la chute mais lui apporte une dimension logique et sémantique en proposant une méchanceté égoïste. Le mal est certes voulu mais par dédain du bien. Notre dernière étape est kantienne. Le mal radical est le concept qui permet enfin de penser une volonté normale qui voudrait le mal simplement parce qu’elle a en elle cette possibilité et la liberté fondamentale de le choisir. Nous pourrons donc constater le chemin parcouru entre notre point de départ et notre point d’arrivée et comment cette problématisation du mal fait apparaître une généalogie de la volonté. Au fil de la pensée, elle passe de l’ombre à la lumière, n’étant jamais aussi présente que quand elle se retrouve confrontée aux obstacles. Penser le mal moral c’est faire l’archéologie de la volonté
Evil provokes scandal by nature because it is what it should not be unlike good which is what it has to be. This tautological assertion expresses our feelings toward evil. It was first perfectly obvious : how must we face human pain ? Evil is a part of thinking’s history : our study starts with Platonism. Before his work, evil is just a fact of life you have to live with. The gods of Antiquity are like men : good or bad. The God of Plato is the one, omniscient, all-powerful and kindly. God is just intelligence, calculation and reason : the world he created is beautiful, ordered and perfect and it is no longer the place for the vices of ancient gods. Evils turns into a metaphysical issue : how can be the world perfect despite evil ? We have now to explain, to justify violence and crimes. Theodicy can justify pain and illness. It does not work with wickedness. Platonism, Neo-Platonism and Stoicism tried to answer this question. Following them, a conceptual break happens : Christendom invented sin. When evil became sin, man became liable and guilty. It is now a matter of liberty : man wants evil. After them, some philosophers will keep to work on the subject of the bad will. Our purpose is to find the story of these concepts and to connect thoughts between themselves. Evil has been made by this story and brings many anthropological consequences : man understands himself through evil. Wickedness is not just a matter to solve, wickedness becomes a way to define mankind. We want to show that wickedness issue is the foundations of morality and how it makes us see and think human will. Several stages occurred in this philosophical evolution. Every ethic deals with evil, not all put it at the heart of their system. Our first stage is Antiquity. Plato brings the ideas of God and perfect world in philosophy but faces the riddle of our crimes. His theodicy adopted by Plotinus and Stoics will always refuse pervert instinct in man. A man who want evil is nonsense. Christian sin appearance changes everything. Augustine will be his strongest defender. By living a double spiritual conversion, he understands wickedness as weakness due to original sin. Man want evil because he is no longer able to will something else. Anselmus follows the dogma of the fall but puts logical and semantic dimension in it and presents a self-interested wickedness. Man wants evil not for itself, man does not want enough good. Our last stage is Kant. Radical will is the first concept which allows to conceive a normal bad will which would evil just because it is one of his options and it has the liberty to do so. We can see the difference between our starting point and our arrival. We see now how the concept of will has grew up and changed. Little by little, will comes from darkness to light. The more will faces obstacles, the more it is obvious. Thinking on evil is the archaeology of the will

Abstract:
Im Fokus der vorliegenden Arbeit stehen Goethes Dramen Clavigo, Stella, Die Geschwister, Egmont, Iphigenie auf Tauris und Torquato Tasso. Der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung liegt dabei auf dem Wandel, den Goethes Frauenbild im Zeitraum ihrer Entstehung erlebt, wobei in den genannten Dramen in Bezug auf die weiblichen Figuren insgesamt eine progressive Emanzipation festzustellen ist. In Clavigo und Stella wirkt noch die traditionelle Konzeption männlicher Dominanz und Stärke nach. Im Drama Die Geschwister bewegen sich Wilhelm und Marianne bereits auf Augenhöhe und identifizieren sich beide mit den Werten der neuen bürgerlichen Klasse. Von Egmont an lässt sich in Bezug auf Goethes mehr und mehr „klassisches“ Ideal der Selbstvervollkommung des Menschen durch authentische Auseinandersetzung mit einer problemgeladenen Umwelt eine Vertauschung der Geschlechterrollen bemerken. Iphigenie widersetzt sich dann sogar im Verzicht auf jede Gewalt und Intrige in verschiedenen Konstellationen mit den männlichen Figuren deren Herrschafts- und Dominanzkonzepten und ethisch bedenklichen Interessen. Auch die Prinzessin Leonore erscheint in Torquato Tasso dem gänzlich realitätsfern in sie verliebten Dichter überlegen, insofern sie mit hoher menschlicher Reife erkennt, dass ihre Liebe unmöglich ist. Offensichtlich hat Goethe im Verlauf der Arbeit an den zu analysierende Dramen bezüglich der Gender-Thematik einen fundamentalen Paradigmenwechsel vollzogen.

A produção de mapeamento cartográfico sofreu muitas transformações ao longo dos anos, passando da utilização extensiva de instrumentos analógicos para o meio digital. Atualmente, grande parte desse processo é realizado com o auxílio do computador, exigindo um alto investimento em sistemas computacionais. No início da década de 90 surgiu um movimento, chamado de Software Livre, que tem o objetivo de diminuir a dependência tecnológica às grandes organizações multinacionais, que dominam muitos segmentos do mercado da tecnologia da informação. Assim, foram desenvolvidos diversos programas de uso geral e que substituem de maneira satisfatória o chamados Software proprietário. Ultimamente, também tem sido desenvolvido Software Livre para a área de geoprocessamento. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o uso desses aplicativos na produção de mapeamento cartográfico e para isso realizamos a editoração cartográfica de uma folha da Carta CIM utilizando programas distribuídos seguindo a filosofia do Software Livre. O processo de editoração cartográfica é fundamental na produção de uma carta e exige o domínio de várias técnicas, sendo uma das tarefas mais complexas da cartografia. Este trabalho apresenta uma nova forma de executar esta importante tarefa, visando aproveitar os últimos avanços na cartografia utilizando software livre e automatizando partes do processo para facilitar sua realização. A realização desta atividade de maneira satisfatória utilizando tecnologias livres comprova o estágio de amadurecimento alcançado dos programas desenvolvidos segundo essa filosofia.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a collection of four papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals plus a manuscript yet to be submitted, all of them in the field of low temperature physics and quantum fluids. Each of these works reports a step forward in the ever-developing theoretical description of helium systems by means of density functional theory. The first two papers deal with questions related to the groundstate description of helium complexes around atomic impurities. We have computed such structure and determined its effect on the dipole absorption spectrum of Na in (3)He—(4)He clusters and of Mg in the homogeneous, isotopically mixed liquid. We have also explored the limits of density functional calculations for a small number of helium atoms interacting with a linear carbonyl sulfide (OCS) molecule. To this end we have implemented a Kohn-Sham scheme for 3He and computed the structure of OCS@3HeN clusters for N up to 40. The next three papers deal with the real-time description of dynamical processes in helium systems of experimental interest. We present an efficient and quantitatively accurate procedure to compute dynamical processes, namely the dynamics of an excited electron bubble and of an excited silver impurity, following a time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for helium coupled to the appropiate dynamics of impurities. In the case of the electron bubble, we have related the experimental disappearance of 1P bubbles at high pressures with the existence of a nonradiative de-excitation path involving the bubble splitting about 20 picoseconds after the excitation. In the case of the desorption of a silver atom from a He drop, our dynamical calculations predict a range of velocities for the ejected impurity consistent with the experimental velocity distribution, which can be taken as indirect evidence of the superfluidity of helium nanodroplets.
En esta tesis se presenta una colección de cuatro artículos publicados y un manuscrito aún no publicado, todos ellos en el campo de la física de bajas temperaturas y fluidos cuánticos. Cada uno de ellos reporta un paso adelante en la descripción teórica de los sistemas de helio por medio de la teoría del funcional de la densidad. Los primeros dos artículos están clasificados como “estructura" ya que tratan cuestiones relacionadas con la descripción del estado fundamental de complejos de helio dopados con impurezas atómicas. En ellos hemos calculado la estructura y determinado su efecto sobre el espectro de absorción dipolar del Na en agregados de (3)He-(4)He y del Mg en el líquido homogéneo e isotópicamente mezclado. Para el caso de Na en gotas se ha encontrado que, a pesar de necesitar una gran cantidad de (3)He para que la capa exterior de la gota sature, el espectro de la impureza es muy insensible a la composición isotópica y rápidamente satura al valor que toma en las gotas de (3)He puras. Para Mg en el líquido mezclado, la presencia de (3)He induce cambios en el espectro mucho más pequeños que su anchura característica, por lo que se ha encontrado que el efecto general de la composición isotópica de la mezcla en la espectroscopia es mínima. Hemos explorado también los límites del funcional de la densidad para un número pequeño de átomos de helio interactuando con una molécula lineal de sulfuro de carbonilo (OCS). Para ello hemos implementado un esquema de Kohn-Sham para el (3)He y hemos obtenido la estructura de agregados OCS@(3)He(N) para un número de átomos “N” hasta 40. Hemos comparado los resultados de los agregados de (4)He con el mismo número de átomos y hemos encontrado que la alta anisotrop_á de la molécula de OCS magni_ca los efectos de las diferentes estadísticas de cada isótopo. Nuestra estimación de los momentos de inercia de estos agregados es consistente con la interpretación de los datos experimentales que sugieren una estructura de 11 átomos de helio rotando solidariamente con la molécula de OCS. Los siguientes tres trabajos, clasificados como “dinámica", describen la evolución temporal de ciertos procesos de interés experimental en los sistemas de helio. Mientras que las publicaciones sobre la estructura completan una línea de trabajo bien establecida, las de esta sección abren un nuevo frente de exploración teórica sobre los procesos dinámicos con resolución de picosegundos. En ellos se presenta un procedimiento eficiente para describirlos cuantitativamente mediante una teoría del funcional de la densidad dependiente del tiempo (TDDFT, por sus siglas en inglés) para el helio, acoplado a la dinámica adecuada para la impureza. Cuál es la dinámica “adecuada" depende de las propiedades de la impureza: para la burbuja electrónica 1P se puede utilizar una descripción puramente mecanocuántica del electrón en una aproximación adiabática, mientras que para la burbuja 2P la aproximación adiabática no es aplicable y se deben acoplar las evoluciones en tiempo real del helio y del electrón. Para una impureza masiva como la Ag una descripción clásica de su movimiento es suficiente, pero el efecto de spin-órbita es lo suficientemente importante como para que el estado electrónico del átomo deba tenerse en cuenta en la dinámica como un grado de libertad cuantizado . En el caso de las burbujas electrónicas, hemos relacionado la desaparición de las burbujas 1P a altas presiones con la existencia de un camino de relajación no-radiativo que causa la rotura de la burbuja en dos mitades casi esféricas tras haber transcurrido unos 20 picosegundos desde su excitación. Hemos sido capaces de establecer esta relación gracias a que nuestro cálculo predice la “fisión" de la burbuja solo para presiones superiores a 1 bar, que es el mismo umbral observado experimentalmente para la desaparición de las burbujas 1P. Teniendo en cuenta que aumentar la presión en 1 bar aumenta la densidad de saturación del líquido en poco más de un 1 %, la exactitud de este resultado indica que TDDFT contiene la física relevante para describir este tipo de procesos y tiene capacidad de predicción cuantitativa. También hemos encontrado un marcado cambio en el comportamiento del espectro de absorción con resolución temporal de la burbuja 1P dependiendo de si ésta fisiona o no, es decir, dependiendo de la presión del líquido. La observación experimental de este cambio y su determinación podrá completar la información obtenida en los experimentos de cavitación y fotoconductividad. En el caso de la desorción de un átomo de plata tras su fotoexcitación en el interior de una gota de He, nuestros cálculos dinámicos predicen un rango de velocidades para la impureza consistente con la distribución de velocidades experimental. Esta velocidad es el resultado de cuánta energía transfiere la impureza a la gota, lo cual depende de los modos de excitación disponibles para dicha transferencia. Nuestra descripción del líquido solo permite excitaciones colectivas tales como ondas de densidad u oscilaciones de superficie, por lo que la compatibilidad de nuestros resultados con los datos experimentales se puede tomar como una evidencia indirecta de la superfluidez de las nanogotas de helio. Adicionalmente hemos descartado la nucleación vórtices como un posible canal de transferencia de energía en gotas nanoscópicas al no haberlos generado en nuestros cálculos.

Abstract:
The underlying thesis of this research was that children possess more complex understandings of their large scale physical environment than were captured by existing models of classification for their artefact maps. In order to investigate this thesis, a convenience sample of 40 children was obtained at three (3) schools in East Kent in the United Kingdom and those children were asked to perform two tasks. Task One investigated whether or not children of 7-9 years of age could identify nominated features on a map of a fictional area through their ability to interpret conventional cartographic symbols. Task Two investigated the children’s survey and environmental knowledge of a known large scale environment by constructing a free-recall sketch map of ‘their town’ without them being given a subsequent purpose for this map. During the construction of this artefact map the researcher interacted verbally with the children so that the temporal order of construction could be examined and the environmental knowledge of the children could be explored. Consistent with the thesis, the children displayed considerably more detailed environmental and survey knowledge about their town that it would have been possible to obtain from adult-centric post-factum interpretations of their artefact maps. Following this finding a new model for the classification of children’s artefact maps was proposed.

Este trabalho pretende investigar a formação do conceito de Warfare State, traduzido para o português como Estado Militarista (no livro de F.J.Cook) e como “Estado beligerante” (no livro A ideologia da sociedade industrial. O homem unidimensional de Herbert Marcuse.) A pesquisa tenta mostrar como Cook formulou originalmente tal conceito e como ele foi configurado em sua obra, a fim de mostrar, em seguida, como H Marcuse se apropriou dele em sua obra para conceber uma das dimensões da sociedade unidimensional. Após a análise comparativa das duas obras e do confronto entre elas, que as esclarece mutuamente, a pesquisa tentará ainda mostrar tanto como deve ser entendido o conceito de sociedade unidimensional quanto à atualidade do conceito de Estado Beligerante.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between thehuman will with the problem of evil from the of Augustine thought. Since your youth Augustine questioned about the problem of evil and saw in the Manichean dualism a reasonable response as a solution to the problem. After nearly a decade in Manichaeism, Aurelio Augustine moved to Rome and then Milan, where he participated in Platonic studies group. However, the contact of Augustine, in Milan, with the Catholic Bishop Ambrose led him to conversion to Catholicism and the abandonment of Manichaeism. From this, Augustine prepared your theory about evil, that relate directly to human will. In this perspective, evil is not a being, as he taught the Manichaeism, but as a result of the free will of the human being by your will stop wanting want God as supreme good for wanting a well more than himself. In this way, the desire human being deprived of God, corrupting the relationship between the divine and the human.
Este estudo visa analisar a relação entre a vontade humana com o problema do mal a partir do pensamento de Agostinho. Desde a sua juventude Aurélio Agostinho questionava-se sobre o problema do mal e viu no dualismo maniqueísta uma resposta razoável como solução para o problema. Depois de quase uma década no maniqueísmo, Agostinho mudou-se para Roma e posteriormente, Milão onde participou de grupo de estudos platônicos. Contudo, o contato de Agostinho, em Milão, com o bispo católico Ambrósio levou-o a conversão ao catolicismo e com isso o abandono do maniqueísmo. A partir disso, Agostinho elaborou sua teoria sobre o mal, a que está relacionada diretamente à vontade humana. Nessa perspectiva, o mal não é um ser, como ensinava o maniqueísmo, mas fruto da vontade livre do ser humano que, por livre vontade, deixa de querer Deus como bem supremo para querer um bem inferior ou a si mesmo. Dessa forma, pela vontade o ser humano se priva de Deus corrompendo a relação entre o divino e o humano.

Abstract:
Para considerar o livre-arbítrio da vontade, Agostinho deve mobilizar concepções já estabelecidas sobre a natureza divina, sobre a natureza do mal e também sobre a natureza da alma humana. À medida que tais concepções se modificam, o livre-arbítrio da vontade assume contornos diversos até obter sua forma mais acabada, na qual se revela como raiz do mal moral sem nada referir à autoria divina e na qual se revela também como essencialmente viciado sem ter outra alternativa senão a de aceitar a ajuda divina. Assim, se de um lado o livre-arbítrio da vontade não exige relacionar Deus com a causa do mal, de outro lado exige relacionar Deus com a única forma de corrigir o mal. Nosso trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar as tramas conceituais supostas na concepção de livre-arbítrio, vendo nesta uma chave de leitura com força de evidenciar certa lógica interna no movimento envolvendo a conversão de Agostinho ao cristianismo.
In order to consider the free choice of the will, Augustine has to mobilize concepts already established about the divine nature, the nature of evil and also the nature of the human soul. As such concepts change, the free choice of the will takes on different features until it reaches its most defined form, in which it is revealed as the origin of moral evil without reference to the divine authorship and in which it is also revealed as essentially vicious without any alternative but to accept divine aid. Therefore, if on the one hand the free choice of the will does not entail a relationship between God and the cause of evil, on the other hand it requires the relationship between God and the only way to stop evil. The objective of this work is to analyse the conceptual webs entailed in the concept of free choice, viewing it as a reading key capable of evidencing a certain internal logic in the movement involving Augustine\'s conversion to Christianity.
