Signorelli, Valentina. "Cinematic infernos : digital technologies and the remediation of Dante's Infernal imagery through the cinematic screen (2005-2015)." Thesis, University of Westminster, 2017. https://westminsterresearch.westminster.ac.uk/item/q3375/cinematic-infernos-digital-technologies-and-the-remediation-of-dante-s-infernal-imagery-through-the-cinematic-screen-2005-2015.
Full textAbstract:
In 2015 we celebrated the 750th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s birth. In light of the popularity of Dante’s imagery, channelled through a variety of the arts and across national contexts for more than seven centuries, this study explores practices of adaptation and remediation of Dante’s Inferno through the cinematic screen in 2005-2015 as well as its relationship with digital technologies. Despite our understanding of Dante and the screen being enriched by the contribution of several scholars such as Antonella Braida, Luisa Calé, Dennis Looney and Nick Havely, amongst others, very little has been written about the aesthetic, social and political impact of digital technologies on cinematic adaptations of the infernal imagery. In order to fill this gap in knowledge, this study investigates the remediate power of digital technology by simultaneously exploring its involvement and its impact. This includes an examination of film production, conservation, circulation and reception. In order to do so, I scrutinise the following three key case studies: Milano Film’s Inferno (ITA,1911), Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò – 120 Days of Sodom (ITA, 1975) and David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis (CAN, FR, ITA, POR, 2012). This multi-disciplinary approach offers a theoretical revision of the theory of adaptation, shifting from the enduring centrality of the ‘reference text’ to a more intermedial awareness of the pivotal role played by the cinematic screen. This enables an exploration of the cultural, political and social impact of Dante’s inspired infernal imagery in the 21st century.

The discovery of extraterrestrial (ET) life would be a revelation of scientific and cultural magnitude that rivals Darwin's theory of evolution and Copernicus's hypothesis that the Earth revolves around the Sun. But while conjecture about the existence of ET life predates industrialism, it is only within the past century or so that technology has developed to the point where humans can add empirical observations to centuries of wondering. With rapid advancements in biological, chemical, and technological science, discovering ET life could be within reach. However, investigations of other planetary environments are still on the edge of technological capability and researchers may need to rely on indirect signs of life to make a detection. These signs may be difficult to interpret. This thesis surveys some of the main techniques and technologies that researchers currently use or are developing to search for alien life. It also teases out some limitations and ambiguity inherent in contemporary data interpretation.

SammandragDet har talats om en litterär kanon som tagit stort utrymme i gymnasieskolans svenskundervisning. Detta examensarbete är en undersökning där gymnasieelever som studerar på ett praktiskt gymnasieprogram pressenteras för August Strindbergs text Inferno medierat utifrån tre olika medier. Strindberg tillhör vad somliga kallar en kanon. Utifrån detta undersöker jag Strindbergs relevans och medieringens betydelse. Frågestälningarna som ligger till grund för undersökningen är:Vad knyter eleverna an till i Inferno?Hur responderar eleverna på medieringen?Vilken relevans har August Strindberg i svenskundervisningen på praktiska gymnasieutbildningar utifrån resultatet av undersökningen? Metoderna för att besvara frågestälningarna är enkät, observation och kvalitativ intervju. Eleverna pressenteras för Strindbergs Inferno i formen av ett undervisningsförsök. Därefter tolkas det empiriska materalet utifrån teorier kring svenskundervisning på praktiska gymnasieutbildningar, det vidgade textbegreppet, högt och lågt samt genus. I resultatet av undersökningen framgår Strindbergs relevans på praktiska gymnasieutbildningar samt medieringens betydelse. Nyckelord: Strindberg, mediering, det vidgade textbegreppet

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the design of deep-inference deductive systems. In the systems with deep inference, in contrast to traditional proof-theoretic systems, inference rules can be applied at any depth inside logical expressions. Deep applicability of inference rules provides a rich combinatorial analysis of proofs. Deep inference also makes it possible to design deductive systems that are tailored for computer science applications and otherwise provably not expressible. By applying the inference rules deeply, logical expressions can be manipulated starting from their sub-expressions. This way, we can simulate analytic proofs in traditional deductive formalisms. Furthermore, we can also construct much shorter analytic proofs than in these other formalisms. However, deep applicability of inference rules causes much greater nondeterminism in proof construction. This thesis attacks the problem of dealing with nondeterminism in proof search while preserving the shorter proofs that are available thanks to deep inference. By redesigning the deep inference deductive systems, some redundant applications of the inference rules are prevented. By introducing a new technique which reduces nondeterminism, it becomes possible to obtain a more immediate access to shorter proofs, without breaking certain proof theoretical properties such as cutelimination. Different implementations presented in this thesis allow to perform experiments on the techniques that we developed and observe the performance improvements. Within a computation-as-proof-search perspective, we use deepinference deductive systems to develop a common proof-theoretic language to the two fields of planning and concurrency.

Full textAbstract:
Inferno, Volume I of Dante Alighieri's timeless magnum opus, The Divine Comedy, persists to modern times as a work of immense imagination and philosophical poignancy. Dante, as the Pilgrim, spins in verse a massive tale wherein his fictitious self must traverse the depths of the Christian Hell with the guidance of the poet Virgil. This meditative allegory for the passage of the soul, and the nature of worldly sin, has attracted the attention of scholars and artists alike for centuries and has been the inspiration for numerous famous musical works. Dark forests, burning sands, bleeding trees, and rivers filled with muck, or fire, or ice, Alighieri's epic poem is rife with metaphors, images, and scenes that almost demand treatment as a musical narrative. Binding all of these disparate tableaus is the spiritual journey of the Pilgrim, the allegory for the passage of the self, moral conscience, and the artistic soul.

Esta dissertação trata dos parâmetros possíveis entre o Inferno de Dante e a Cibercultura, através dos resultados de uma pesquisa desenvolvida por em três pontos: A Imagem do Infeno, legado da narrativa dantiana expressa ao longo dos séculos por artistas em diferentes estilos, mas dotados de elementos singulares propostos pelo autor florentino. A Cibercultura e seus conceitos: o ciberespaço, a imagem digital, a cultura de convergência e as transformações em curso que essa cultura produz na sociedade. E por último, a fantasia possível entre os conceitos e a imagem do inferno medieval com o mundo contemporâneo, através da atualização dos mesmos presentes no Inferno do projeto de hipernarrativa que se desenvolve tendo como base em tais definições.
This essay is about possible parameters delined between Dante’s Infero and the Cyberculture, thru a research developed in three aspects: Hell’ image, a legacy from dantian narrative and expressed by diferent artists among the centuries, with diferent styles, but wicht adopted the same elements propouseds by the florentian author. The Cyberculture’s concepts, as ciberspace, digital image, convergence culture and the recent transformations in society. At last, the phantasia possible between Medieval Inferno and the contemporary World, beyond the hypernarrative project for those definitions.

O Limbo, presente no Canto IV do Inferno da Divina Comédia constitui um elemento novo, introduzido por Dante à luz das concepções religiosas de seu tempo. O presente trabalho propõe uma leitura desse Limbo, enfatizando os aspectos que lhe são inerentes, como a sua localização, a sua descrição como um lugar estático, os suspiros reinantes e a existência de um castelo que abriga os grandes pensadores e poetas da Antigüidade. Essa diversidade de elementos torna o Canto IV um momento particular na viagem de Dante pelo Inferno, além de enfatizar questões ligadas à religião católica, entre elas o batismo como elemento essencial para a salvação da alma. Ainda dentro dessa pesquisa, aborda-se a questão da intertextualidade favorecida pela presença de muitos personagens da mitologia clássica e os seus autores. A trajetória do peregrino Dante através do Limbo permite-lhe a sua distinção entre os expoentes máximos da literatura clássica.

Até pouco tempo acreditava-se que a maioria das moléculas de RNA estava relacionada à tradução de proteínas. Porém, descobriu-se que outros tipos de moléculas de RNA que não são traduzidas estão presentes em muitos organismos diferentes e afetam uma variedade de processos moleculares, são os chamados RNAs não-codificantes (ncRNAs). Apesar de sua importância funcional, os métodos biológicos e computacionais para a detecção e caracterização de RNAs não-codificantes ainda são imprecisos e incompletos. A identificação de novas espécies de ncRNAs é difícil através de procedimentos experimentais e as técnicas computacionais existentes são lentas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi obter uma ferramenta mais eficiente para a comparação de uma seqüência de RNA não-codificante contra um banco de seqüências. Para isso foi proposto e implementado um modelo para identificação computacional de ncRNAs com apoio dos pacote Viena e Infernal e foram realizados experimentos para avaliá-loUntil recently it was generally accepted that most RNA molecules were involved in the translation process. However, it was discovered that many types of untranslated RNA molecules are present in many different organisms and they are related to a wide variety of molecular processes. These molecules are called non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Despite their functional importance, the biological and computational methods to detect and identify non-coding RNAs are still imprecise and incomplete. The discovery of new ncRNAs species is difficult through experimental procedures and the existing computational techniques are slow. This project aimed at obtaining a more efficient tool that compares a non-coding RNA sequence against a sequence database. In order to achieve this, a computational model for ncRNAs identification using the Vienna and Infernal packages has been proposed and implemented. Experiments were conduced to evaluate the model

Full textAbstract:
Two existing estimators use inferred relationship information on a pair-wise level: regression of the phenotypic similarity of a pair of individuals on an estimate of their relationship and a likelihood procedure that maximises the probability of their genotypic and phenotypic observations. Computer simulation was used to compare the behaviour of these approaches. Bias in estimates of heritability decreased with increasing sample size, decreased heritability, increasing relatedness and increasing sample size. The regression approach showed less bias than the likelihood approach, but much larger sampling variance. A modified form of the likelihood technique, requiring fewer initial assumptions about population parameters was developed, which showed lower bias in its estimates of heritability than the likelihood technique originally proposed. An alternative approach in which marker-information was used to reconstruct sibships through relationship assignment within a single generation using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques was developed. The reconstructed sibships were assumed correct and analysed using restricted maximum likelihood under an animal model. Simulations to compare the properties of estimates with those made using existing techniques indicated that sibship reconstruction was, in many cases, superior to earlier methods, regaining family-specific weighting lost through pair-wise analysis, having lower mean squared errors and showing only slight downwards bias, provided that there was sufficient marker information. Equations appropriate for MCMC analysis of half-sib, full-sib and hierarchical sib-ship structures are presented. The approaches were extended so that information from other types of marker loci, for example mitochondrial or dominant loci, known maternal information and additional variance parameters can be incorporated into the analysis. Analysis using the technique was made of feral population of Soay sheep, with body weight being used as an example trait. Results indicated that the Soay population has a low level of relatedness and so heritability estimates were not reliable, unless inferred relationship data was used only to augment an existing set of known relationships.

Mapping road networks is both expensive and labor-intensive. A variety of automated mapping approaches have been proposed in recent years, but these schemes often produce maps that are messy, error-prone, or visually unappealing. To fix this, we train a conditional Wasserstein GAN to refine the inferred road map and improve its realism. We show that adding a truth padding stage between the discriminator and generator vastly improves tile consistency, and we introduce a postprocessing pipeline to further clean the graph. To evaluate these results, we focus on a state-of-the-art map inference method known as RoadTracer, published in 2018 by MIT and QCRI. We compare our refinement approach with the original RoadTracer input and easily see qualitative improvements with similar topology.

Este trabalho teve início com o desafio da proposta de se abordar uma obra de caráter universal, canonizada no âmbito da literatura ocidental, a Divina Comédia. Por ser um clássico, a Divina Comédia está sujeita a inúmeras leituras e, por conseqüências, a inúmeras traduções, sem que se possa chegar a estabelecer uma leitura e uma tradução definitivas da mesma. Foi pensando nesse aspecto que elegemos o Canto V do Inferno como base desse trabalho e, após uma acurada leitura do mesmo, lançamos nosso olhar sobre as soluções encontradas pelos tradutores brasileiros em relação a esse mesmo canto. Elegemos três fenômenos que achamos relevantes para evidenciar algumas das escolhas que os tradutores fizeram durante o processo tradutório: o acréscimo, a perda e o desvio de informações e enfocamos nosso olhar sobre os momentos em que esses fenômenos resultaram mais evidentes nas traduções. Em todas as três traduções encontramos um número bastante significativo de recorrências de acréscimo, perda e desvio de informações. As três situações criaram, por vezes, um distanciamento bastante significativo do texto de partida. Percebemos que certos acréscimos poderiam ser evitados se os tradutores utilizassem mais o recurso da notas em suas traduções. O uso da nota poderia vir ao encontro tanto do leitor, quanto do tradutor.

Full textAbstract:
HIV in the UK in the 1980s was concentrated within men who have sex with men (MSM) and people who inject drugs (PWID) but heterosexual sex is now the most frequently reported risk behaviour. As these risk groups are associated with different virus populations, this is reflected in the subtype diversification of the UK epidemic, which was historically dominated by subtype B. I have made use of a national database of HIV sequences collected during routine clinical care, which also contains data on age, sex, route of exposure & ethnicity. The 2014 release of the UK HIV Drug Resistance Database contained data from over 60,000 patients. In this thesis, I first describe the development of novel tools that rapidly and automatically identify HIV clusters within phylogenetic trees containing tens of thousands of sequences because they represent transmission chains within the larger infected population. I use these tools to compare the HIV subtype B epidemics in the UK and Switzerland, which had both been described separately but using different approaches. Working with Swiss colleagues, I was able to analyse the epidemics in exactly the same way without having to share sensitive data. I found clustering in the UK to be much higher at relaxed thresholds than in Switzerland (34% vs 16%) indicating that the UK database is more likely to capture transmission chains. Down sampling revealed that this pattern is driven by the larger size of the UK epidemic. At tighter cluster thresholds, the epidemics were very similar. I next use these tools to analyse the spread of emerging subtypes A1, C, D and G in the UK. I found both risk group and cluster size to be predictive of cluster growth, which I tested using simulations and a GLM. Growth of MSM and crossover clusters was significantly higher than expected for subtypes A1 and C, indicating that crossover from heterosexuals to MSM has contributed to their expansion within the UK. Numbers were small for subtypes D and G but the proportion of new diagnoses linking to MSM and crossover clusters was similar to A1 and C, suggesting that the same pattern may be emerging for D and G. I conclude by evaluating the accuracy of a method previously described by our group to generate transmission networks from HIV sequences. The interpretation of clustering patterns from phylogenetic trees is difficult because of the absence of a standardised statistical framework. In contrast, a body of work exists that relates disease transmission to networks. Using large simulated datasets, I developed algorithms which eliminate improbable links. I then reconstructed improved UK transmission networks for subtypes A1, B and C and compare network metrics (such as the degree distribution) between risk groups. Together with other evidence, this thesis demonstrates that the UK HIV epidemic continues to be driven by transmission among MSM. The UK epidemic is no longer compartmentalised and the crossing over of subtypes across risk groups has been facilitated by MSM also having sex with women.

Entre o céu e o inferno: a governamentalização do brincar problematiza genealogicamente os regimes de verdade construídos com a intenção de govermentalizar o brincar da criança a partir dos dispositivos presentes em manuais e livros de Higiene e de Puericultura publicados no Brasil entre 1868 e 2009. A tese a partir da qual se desenvolve este trabalho é que a partir de meados do século XIX emerge o brincar como sendo uma prática a ser governamentalizada por ter uma função tática e estratégica em relação ao desenvolvimento e constituição da subjetividade da criança. Esta governamentalização constrói regimes de verdade, estratégias biopolíticas e práticas de cuidado si. Porque conhecendo o brincar é que se conhece a criança, também ao adulto, em suma, uma forma de pensar a condição humana. Partindo da idéia de um sujeito que se constitui entre as técnicas de dominação e tecnologias de si, agonisticamente condenado a viver entre o caos e a ordem, em uma luta na qual nem se ganha nem se perde, simplesmente se combate. Depois de analisar os documentos, a partir da metodologia descrita por Foucault como genealogia, estamos em condições de reafirmar que o brincar é uma das operações com as quais um sujeito cria as condições de autogoverno conforme as práticas de cultura de si. Também que resulta difícil imaginar uma fórmula mais próxima a da Parrhesia que o próprio brincar. Porque não há fazer de conta que se brinca, ou se é verdadeiro, francamente verdadeiro no ato de brincar ou isso não é brincar. No intento de dominar e governar os corpos e as mentes das crianças, foram construídos modelos higiênicos que pela via eugênica, jurídica, educacional, se encarregaram de destituir de 8 diversas formas, a autonomia e o direito da família para escolher o tipo e a intensidade do vínculo pai mãe filho. Foi assim que descrevemos a existência de um dispositivo psicomédico- pedagógico para dar conta dos saberes necessários a serem construídos em relação à criança e os métodos de criação-educação como instrumento de governo.
"Between heaven and hell: the governmentality of playing discusses genealogically real schemes built with the intention to governmentalize child's playing through devices found in manuals and books of Health and Child Care, published in Brazil between 1868 and 2009. The thesis which this work is developed from is that from mid-nineteenth century, playing emerges as a practice to be governmentalized in order to have a tactical and strategic role in relation to the constitution and subjectivity of the child. This builds true governmentality regimes, biopolitical strategies and practices of care themselves. Because one can only know the child, and also the adult, by knowing the act of playing. In short, that is a way of thinking about the human condition. Starting from the idea of an individual self-compounded between the techniques of domination and technologies, condemned to live in agony "between" chaos and order in a fight in which one neither wins nor loses, just battles. After reviewing the documents, based on the methodology described by Foucault as genealogy, we are able to reiterate that the playing is one of the operations with which an individual creates the conditions for self-government according to the practices of culture itself. Also, it is difficult to imagine a closer formula to the Parrhesia than the playing itself. Because there is no make believing one plays: either it is true, frankly true, in the act of playing, or it is not playing. In the attempt to dominate and govern children#s bodies and minds, hygienic models were built that through eugenist, legal, educational ways, that were in charge of dismissing the autonomy and right of families to choose the type and intensity of the relation father - mother - son. That is how we have described the existence of a psychomedical-pedagogical device to account for the knowledge needed to be built in relation to the child and the raising and educating methods as a government instrument.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this research is the study of lagoon ecosystem interaction and adjustment of the lagoon floor morphologies, water dynamics and sequences of change involving the motion of sediment. The aim of the study is to implement a functional mechanism to evaluate and analyse changes in the Lagos Lagoon and its ecosystem, with the objectives: (i) to investigate the extent and impact of urban expansion on the Lagoon coastline and its ecosystem; (ii) to quantify changes in the spatial extent of mangroves by use of satellite images from 1984 to 2016; (iii) to investigate the spatial dynamics of the Lagoon water floor and estimate its flushing time, (iv) to investigate the behaviour and relationship pattern of the Lagoon hydrodynamic parameters;, (v) to collect sediment samples from the Lagoon, analyse their settling behaviour and particle size distribution (PSD) in order to study their spatial evolution and characterisation; and (vi) to initiate a model that can predict the influence of sea level rise on the Lagoon ecosystem. The existing problem of an overcrowded human population in Lagos, the incessant repository of industrial effluence into its Lagoon, and increased flooding from the immediate watershed generate the research questions for this thesis. Lack of studies in the areas of morphodynamics and hydrodynamics on the Lagoon is a gap in the body of coastal knowledge, especially the temporal and long term dynamics of a significant Lagoon like that of Lagos. Understanding the dynamics of the Lagoon will enhance efficient monitoring, sustainable management and hence reveal the great importance the Lagoon preserves for the coastal region. Landsat images (1984 – 2016) of the study area (Lagos Lagoon) and its ecosystem were obtained for some specific data derivations. Land Surface Temperature (LST), NDVI and delineated Lagoon coastline were derived from the images. An Environment for Visualizing Images (ENVI) and a Geographic Information System (GIS) were used to extract land classification information, likewise, the GIS was used to develop a model for investigating the Lagoon coastline changes. With the use of ENVI and GIS software, land classification types were derived with the percentage of the coverage area for each land use classification for the years of study. A novel empirical method was designed to collect in-situ hydrodynamic data for both the dry and wet seasons in 2014, this was correlated and analysed using a case study approach. Also, in-situ bathymetric data was collected in 2014 to join the 2008 available data for studying the changes in the Lagoon water bed morphology. Functional models were used to examine the interaction of the various hydrodynamic information that was studied on the Lagoon. Results and inferences from the study show that the wetland of the system is depleting rapidly with increase urbanisation. In both lateral and vertical directions, the morphological shape of the Lagoon is reducing both in size and depth. The result from the model that investigated the system coastline indicates that reclamation and recession are taking place on the Lagoon coast at an approximate ratio of 4 to 1 whereas, the total surface area has reduced to approximately 204.51km2 as opposed to its approximate area of 208km2 as at the year 2010. The results from the analysis of the Lagoon salinity implies a wide salinity variation between the dry and the wet season; this confirms the system as brackish water in the dry season and freshwater in the wet season. Other inferences reveal the critical point of well-mixed water mass, significant vertical mixing during the wet season and a stable state during the dry season. In overview, the ratio of the Lagoon stratification during the dry season to that of the wet season is approximately 1 to 7 and flushing time of approximately 26 days and 22 days respectively. Lastly, the Lagoon possesses a varying settling velocity that is uniquely related to the diameter of its particles at various spatial locations. This research has been able to provide baseline investigations concerning the morphology and hydrodynamic study of the Lagos Lagoon.

Full textAbstract:
This work explores how certain properties of galactic nuclei can be understood on the basis of the available data. Current evidence for the presence of large central masses in these regions, believed to be supermassive black holes, is first reviewed. Methods for estimating the mass are discussed, and a new algorithm is presented for implementing reverberation techniques with time-variable broad line data from active nuclei. The effectiveness of this new algorithm is first tested on sample data sets; it is then applied to actual data. Next, a model is presented for the formation of the cool, dense clouds responsible for the broad line emission, involving the rapid cooling of shocked gas embedded in a quasi-spherical, turbulent accretion flow. As an illustrative example, fitting of the model (with simplify assumptions) is performed on data pertaining to the Seyfert nucleus NGC 5548. Accretion flows in two specific objects are then discussed. First, a cool, spherical accretion flow is argued for the non-active nucleus of M31 on the basis of the observed broad-band spectrum. In addition to comparisons of the model with the currently available data, we provide detailed predictions of the UV and optical line spectra, correcting for extinction due to intervening dust and cold gas. Then, a turbulent disk structure is argued for the weakly-active nucleus in the radio galaxy NGC 4261. This structure is capable of producing both the observed broad line spectrum and radio absorption, and may have application to the nuclei of other radio galaxies. Finally, the iron Kalpha emission from Sgr B2, a giant molecular cloud located in the Galactic Center region, is reviewed. While many argue that this suggests recent activity associated with the radio source Sgr A*, our modeling indicates that the data are also consistent with a time-variable illuminator embedded within the cloud. The observations and modeling suggest that turbulence may be a key component to accretion in active nuclei, facilitating the transfer of angular momentum and allowing the greater accretion rates needed to fuel the central engines. Future 3D-hydrodynamical simulations are required to test this assertion.

Full textAbstract:
A panel of 48 single nucleotide polymorphism markers (SNPs) was developed for use in a population genetic analysis of the Eastern Oyster Crassostrea virginica sampled from the lower Chesapeake Bay. The SNPs were developed from published and unpublished sequencing data and developed to be used on a Fluidigm Biomark. A selection of 95 SNPs were chosen initially for development and the best 48 were selected for downstream applications. This project was a collaboration with the non-profit Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) to examine their oyster reef restoration project in the Lafayette River, Virginia. The CBF wanted to test a hydrodynamic connectivity model designed to predict where oyster larvae produced in the Lafayette River would settle within the river. To test the model, oysters from Tangier Island, VA and the Haskin NEH hatchery strain were planted in the Lafayette River at locations corresponding to locations within the model with the expectation that the oysters would spawn the following summer. Baseline geographic oyster samples were taken from the nearby rivers; the Lafayette, Elizabeth and James Rivers before deployment of the planted test oysters. Newly recruited oyster spat were sampled from the Lafayette River in the summer following deployment of the planted test oysters. The baseline samples and spat were genotyped and compared to each other with the panel of 48 SNPs. Assignment tests were performed to identify the source population(s) for the spat. There was no population structure defined by FST values among oysters sampled from the lower Chesapeake Bay. The Haskin NEH oysters were genetically different from the other oysters in the study; however, the Tangier Island oysters were not different from the oysters in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The low FST values among the oysters from the lower Chesapeake Bay suggest that the connectivity of the reefs is high. The hydrodynamics of the region mix drifting larvae produced by oysters across the region as seen in the genotypic profile of the spat recovered in the Lafayette River. Heterozygote deficiencies suggestive of a Wahlund effect were observed; however, high rates of migration likely work to counterbalance stable population substructure. Alternatively, the heterozygote deficiencies could represent hidden variation not accessible by the methods used in this thesis. Some population structure exists with increasing geographic distance consistent with a pattern of isolation by distance among the populations sampled for this project. Assignment tests did not identify any spat as a product of the NEH oysters and assignment of spat to Tangier Island origin is inconclusive. The genetic data obtained were not able to provide unequivocal support for the predictions of oyster spat distributions by the connectivity model, although, the data do support the overall circulation patterns in the region predicted by the model.

Full textAbstract:
Agriculture and the use of arable land have long been assumed to be one of the key drivers behind eutrophication of lakes. However, little is known about how early agriculture has affected lakes in the past. The aims of this study were: i) quantify the within-region variability in historical land use and its linkage to soil cover and ii) test if the sediment geochemistry could be used to reconstruct inputs of phosphorus from early agricultural activities. The within-region variability was determined by digitalizing historical maps covering four centuries from the 18th to the 21st century for six selected regions across Sweden. To assess historical changes in lake-water phosphorus, a 6 m long 14C-dated sediment core from Ekoln was analyzed. The core was analyzed for 24 elements by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) together with the total concentration of nitrogen and carbon and their isotopes (δ13C, δ15N). Results show that there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) in agricultural activities between regions with soils rich in fine texture classes compared to soils with a more coarse texture. Agriculture also became less dependent on fine-grained soils due to new technological implements following the industrialization. The reconstructed long term-trend in Ekoln indicate limited inputs of phosphorus from early farming and that the lake had higher concentrations of phosphorus throughout the last millennia. Therefore, early farming was unlikely to be the prime driver of high phosphorus loadings, and that other factors should be considered, e.g. extensive urbanization and inputs of wastewater effluent.

Full textAbstract:
O projeto de pesquisa analisa os rumos do pensamento escultórico moderno em direção a uma escala ambiental, processo que tem origem no final do séc. XIX, momento em que a obra A Porta do Inferno, de Auguste Rodin, modifica o espaço narrativo clássico, rompendo com a premissa do monumento e passando a pleitear cada vez mais uma imersão da obra no espaço do observador. O período das vanguardas históricas também foi fundamental para se repensar as fronteiras entre as linguagens tradicionais e o reconhecimento de outras esferas que não a das belas-artes, desde a dissolução da base na escultura de Constantin Brancusi, passando pela renovação do estatuto de arte em Marcel Duchamp, até as experiências de colagem com a obra Merzbau, de Kurt Schwitters. A dissertação examina especialmente a produção que desde então problematizou a tradição da escultura, privilegiando as manifestações contemporâneas que derivam da tradição moderna, projetando o campo da arte para além dos gêneros artísticos fixados até então, buscando expandir a noção de escultura em termos espaciais, temporais e experienciais. Entre as décadas de 1940 e 1960, a ruptura com essa tradição culmina na radicalidade das ações corporais de Jackson Pollock, que conferem uma nova escala às pinturas; e, mais à frente, numa produção que emergia como crítica aguda ao mercado e à institucionalização cada vez mais precoce do trabalho de arte. A arte contemporânea, então, teria sua origem num processo de crítica do objeto, precipitado pelo problemas da cultura de massa, onde os trabalhos se reconhecem num mundo da cultura, mesmo ao resistirem a sua cooptação. Sem ter sido objeto de análises abrangentes, a escultura contemporânea, se é que ainda podemos denominar escultura os trabalhos produzidos a partir da década de 1960, parece ter colocado em crise a noção moderna de forma, e passa a operar num contexto ampliado, aberta ao espaço e à dinâmica cultural urbana. É nesse momento que a dissertação se aproxima das obras de Richard Serra, José Resende e Hélio Oiticica e passa a dedicar uma análise mais atenta sobre aqueles trabalhos que lidaram com uma escala ambiental, ou ainda, se aproximaram das contingências do lugar onde atuam, quer físicas, sociais ou culturais, operando próximos à poética do site specificity.The research project analyses the directions of the modern sculptural thoughts towards an environmental scale, a process that begins in the end of the 19th Century, a moment in which Auguste Rodins The Gates of Hell modifies the classic narrative space breaking up with the premise of the monument and defend every time more an immersion of the work in the observer space. The historical vanguard period was also fundamental to rethink the boundaries between the traditional languages and the recognition of spheres that are not of fine arts ñ from the dissolution of the base in sculpture of Constantin Brancusi, passing through the renovation of the art statute of Marcel Duchamp, to the collage experiences of Kurt Schwitters Merzbau. The dissertation examines specially the production that has questioned the sculpture tradition, the contemporary manifestations that come from modern tradition, projecting the art field beyond the so far fixed artistic genders and searching to expand the notion of sculpture in terms of space and time, as well as your artistic practice significance. Between the decades of 1940 and 1960, the break with this tradition culminates in the radically body actions of Jackson Pollock that gives a new scale to paintings; and afterwards, in a production that emerged as a deep critique of the market and the every time earlier institutionalization of the art work. The contemporary art, therefore, would have its origin in a process of the object critique precipitated by mass culture problems where the works are recognized in a cultural word, even when they resist to their cooptation. Without being object of comprehensive analyses, the contemporary sculpture, if we still can denominate sculpture the works produced from the 1860 decade on, seems to have placed the modern notion of form in crisis, and started to operate in an enlarged context, open to space and to the urban cultural dynamic. It is at his moment that the dissertation approaches Richard Serra, José Resende and Hélio Oiticicas work and dedicates more careful analyses over those works that deal with environmental scale, or yet, approach either physical, social or cultural contingencies of the place in which they act, operating to the poetic of the site specificity.

Full textAbstract:
If you knew my thoughts; the dreams that absorb me; and the fiery imagination that at times eats me up and makes me feel Society as it is, wretchedly insipid you would pity and I dare say despise me. (C. Brontë, 10 May 1836) Before Charlotte Brontë wrote her first novel for publication, she admitted her mixed feelings about imagination. Brontë’s letter shows that she feared both pity and condemnation. She struggled to attend to the imaginative world that brought her pleasure and to fulfill her duties in the real world so as to avoid its contempt. Brontë’s early correspondence attests to her engrossment with the Angrian world she created in childhood. She referred to this world as the “infernal world” and to imagination as “fiery,” showing the intensity and potential destructiveness of creativity. Society did not draw Brontë the way that the imagined world did, and in each of Brontë’s four mature novels, she recreated the tricky navigation between the desirable imagined world and the necessary real world. Each protagonist resolves the struggle differently, with some protagonists achieving more success in society than others. The introduction of this dissertation provides critical and biographical background on Brontë’s juxtaposition of imagination/desire and reason/duty. Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar’s The Madwoman in the Attic supplies the basis for understanding the ways that the protagonists express imagination, and John Kucich’s Repression in Victorian Fiction defines the purposefulness of repression. The four middle chapters examine imagination’s manifestations and purposes for the protagonists. The final chapter discusses how the tension caused by the competing desires to express and repress imagination distinguishes Brontë’s style.

Full textAbstract:
In the semi-arid environment of the Eastern Mediterranean, water can be a limiting resource and its availability is influenced by different climate factors. Knowledge of late Holocene water balance is limited for this region. Lake systems and organisms respond to environmental variability and can be used as a proxy for palaeoclimate. The aims of this research project were to reconstruct late Holocene palaeoclimate using diatom frustules preserved within crater lake sediments in central Turkey. Two lakes (Nar Gölü and Kratergöl), located in the same climate region, were selected for this purpose. Modem lake samples and sediment cores collected between 1999-2006 were subsampled at high resolution for diatom analysis, Nar G610 provided an uninterrupted annually-laminated late Holocene sequence covering the last 1720 years. The varied lake sedimentation rate of Kratergöl was evident in sediment core coarse sandy sections and the sequence was thought to represent the mid-late 20`h century. A diatom-salinity transfer function was employed using existing training sets from the European Diatom Database to infer past water balance. The reconstruction was calibrated with instrumental meteorological data. Reconstructed salinity was limited by poor analogue matching between the palaeo-diatom assemblage and the modem training set. This was partly associated with the presence of a previously undescribed diatom genus (newly named Clipeoparvus anatolicus), which was highly abundant in the Nar modern environment and sediment record. Additional methods to extract palaeoenvironmental information from the diatom record were explored. This included calibrating diatom DCA axes with instrumental temperature in order to reconstruct palaeo-temperature, identifying mono-specific diatom bloom events in situ on core thin section slides, calculating diatom biovolume, concentration, diversity and grouping species according to their habitat preferences. Comparison of the Nar and Kratergöl records highlighted the advantages of annually laminated lake sediments for palaeoenvironmental research and the limitations of sediment sequences from lakes with a varied sedimentation rate and poor chronological control. The primary meteorological control on the Nar diatom population was identified as summer temperature, via the link with lake water salinity. The Nar diatom sequence was compared with an oxygen isotope (palaeo-evaporation) and pollen record (human land use) from the same sediment cores and palaeoclimate reconstructions from other sites and regions. Nar diatoms and oxygen isotopes revealed that Cappadocia experienced high aridity prior to AD 540 and mono-specific diatom bloom events have become increasingly common during the most recent -400 years. A diatom assemblage shift at AD 2001 also indicated a recent change in the system. Human land use evident in the pollen sequence may have influenced the diatom relationship with climatic variability in the later part of the record. The Kratergöl diatom record indicated environmental variability throughout the mid-late 20`h century; however, interpretations were limited due to chronological discrepancies. The annually laminated Nar diatom record has provided a detailed account of palaeoenvironmental variability in central Anatolia throughout the late Holocene and contributes towards our understanding of Eastern Mediterranean palaeoclimate.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the impact of religion on Byron's poetry. It will not only examine the effects of his Calvinist upbringing but also investigate how this influenced his attraction to and utilisation of Dualist heresies in his poetry. The first Chapter looks at the reasons behind Byron's repudiation of his Scottish Calvinist heritage caused by his negative perceptions of its God and its adherents. This will be followed by an exploration of the effects that this Calvinism had on Byron's mental state, with particular reference to the uniquely Calvinist form of depression known as Religious Despair. The second Chapter will argue that it was his rejection of Calvinist doctrines and abhorrence of the Calvinist God that caused Byron to search for alternative answers to the existence of evil, eventually leading him to Dualism in its various forms. After an examination of the numerous sources of information on Dualism that Byron encountered, both historical and doctrinal, there will be a detailed analysis of the presence of Dualism in his poetry. The third Chapter considers the purpose behind Byron's adaptation of Dualist imagery and ideology and its presence in his poetry. This will be achieved by first addressing the ways he uses Dualist doctrines and imagery to subvert Calvinist teachings and precepts, and then by detailing the surprisingly numerous parallels between Calvinism and Dualism. Particular attention will be paid to Byron's use of light and dark, linking it back to his remarkably complex relationship with the various religions that influenced him. An awareness of Byron's interest in these religions can serve to provide a new and useful reading of his texts. Although there have been various works briefly touching upon the influence of different religions and philosophies on Byron's poetry, there has been no serious consideration of the overall effect and consequences of Byron's interaction with these faiths. Nor has there been a full, detailed examination of the sources of his knowledge, his understanding of them and the use which he makes of this knowledge in his writings. I say writings, as this thesis will rely on his letters and journals as evidentiary sources with a value almost equal to that of his poetry. In this context, the thesis considers Byron's letters and journals as evidentiary sources alongside his poetry and plays. Moreover, the persistence in Byron's career and subsequent reception of a conflation between poet and poetry, creator and creation, by Byron's friends, family and critics means that his reputation and perception by his peers must also be considered and analysed as part of his artistic endeavour, particularly given his grasp of 'spin' and cult of publicity. Finally, in challenging Calvinism and its adherents through a variety of means, including the appropriation of Dualist imagery and theology, Byron operated within a tradition that had an established history. The presence of several religious ideologies in his poetry will be contextualised by contrasting Byron's poetry with other literary works which present these faiths in a similar fashion.

Full textAbstract:
Les décennies d'accumulation de données provenant de missions explorant le vent solaire ainsi que l'environnement terrestre proche permettent l'étude de la relation Soleil-Terre de manière statistique. Ces études sont toutefois limitées par la sélection manuelle des événements d'intérêt dans les données qui reste une tâche fastidieuse, subjective et difficilement reproductible.En nous appuyant sur des outils d'apprentissage statistique, nous mettons au point des méthodes de détection automatique d'événements à partir de mesures de données in-situ. Qu'il s'agisse de détecter les éjections de masse coronale interplanétaires, de classifier les régions de l'environnement terrestre proche ou de détecter les jets de plasma issus de la reconnexion magnétique à la magnétopause, nos méthodes font moins d'erreurs que celles basées sur des seuils empiriques généralement utilisées pour sélectionner des événements. Elles sont de plus adaptables d'une mission à une autre pourvu que la nature des régions traversées par les sondes soient similaires. Nous montrons toutefois que l’interpretation des données par ces méthodes sont limitées par notre propre interprétation physique des données et des evenements qu’elles mesurent.Ces méthodes ouvrent la porte aux études statistiques d'événements mesurés in-situ à grand nombre d'échantillons.La classification des différentes régions de l'environnement terrestre proche nous permet par exemple d’étudier statistiquement la position et la forme adoptée par la magnétopause en s'appuyant sur les données de missions d'orbites equatoriales (THEMIS, MMS, Double Star), polaires (Cluster) et lunaires (ARTEMIS). En plus de confirmer l'influence saisonale, le rôle joué par la pression dynamique, et l'asymétrie azimutale, nous montrons que l'orientation azimuthale du champ magnétique interplanétaire modifie la forme de la magnétopause par le biais de la reconnexion magnétique et discutons de la nature de cette frontière au niveau des cornets polaires.L'étude résulte en la production d'un modèle analytique de la position de la magnétopause offrant une description plus précise de cette frontière du côté nuit de la magnétosphère terrestreDecades of in-situ data measurement by missions focused on the study of the solar wind and its relation with the near-Earth environment allowed the study of the Sun-Earth coupling from a statistical point of view. Nevertheless, these studies are limited by the manual selection of the events of interest in the data that is still a subjective, fastidious and hardly reproducible task.Using machine learning algorithms, we elaborate automatic detection methods of events from in-situ data measurement. Whether they are applied to the detection of interplanetary coronal mass ejections, to the classification of the near-Earth regions or to the identification of magnetopause magnetic reconnection jets, the developed methods are more accurate than those based on manual, empirical thresholds. They are also adaptable from a mission to another provided the regions visited by the spacecraft are of the same nature. We show that the interpretation of the data by these methods is limited by the vision we have on the data and the events they measure.These methods pave the way for statistical studies of in-situ measured events with an important number of samples. Thereby, we use the classification of the different regions of the near-Earth environment to statistically study the position and shape of the magnetopause using the data of missions with equatorial (THEMIS, MMS, Double Star), polar (Cluster) and lunar (ARTEMIS) orbits. In addition to confirming the seasonal dependence, the azimuthal asymmetry and the influence of the solar wind dynamic pressure, we show that the clock angle of the interplanetary magnetic field modifies the shape of the magnetopause through the process of magnetic reconnection and lead a discussion on the nature of this boundary around the polar cusps. We combine the results of the study into an analytical model of the magnetopause position and shape that offers a more precise description of this boundary on the night side of the Earth magnetosphere

The existence of life after death is one of the most fundamental beliefs of mankind. Throughout history, many representations of afterlife got spread by many different religions. Modern times made us believe that such belief was typical only of very religious societies and that contemporary society had reduced the concept of afterlife to a mere metaphor. That was not what happened. Although heaven has become profane and a subject for science, religious heaven survives. To demonstrate this, we analyze afterlife representations used by Spiritists, based mainly on the work “The Astral City”, from Francisco Cândido Xavier. We verify the transformation of sacred heaven into profane heaven, using the vision of Allan Kardec about the world of the dead, and concluded that this vision is less structured than the Brazilian version. Following that, we reaffirm what other studies had already found: Brazilian Spiritism has emphasized the religious aspect of the doctrine a lot more, reproducing the basic contradiction formulated by Kardec’s proposal of conciliating religion and science in the shape of conflicts between groups. Therefore, we defend that Spiritism in Brazil, since the beginning, assimilated elements of the catholic universe, resulting in a quite familiar doctrine to Brazilian culture which collaborated to its legitimization in the country. This characteristic is quite visible in the narratives and descriptions of afterlife in the works of Chico Xavier, which guaranteed an identification of the public towards his books.

This thesis describes how the development of a mechanical enclosure to an alarmsystem proceeded. The project was made on behalf of Inferno Light Indusec AB.The goal set to this housing would offer a home alarm in which Indusec’s uniquesound system would give the customer a new alternative on the market. They wantedto, among other things, create an aesthetically but at the same time affordable alarm.The aesthetic theme is something that is missing in today’s market. Anotherimportant aspect is that it will follow EN 50131-4, a standard for European alarmsystems.The project was built in different phases: planning, concept, design and results. Thesephases included brainstorming and Gallery method but also other important meanslike information from the Internet, books and existing solutions for alarm systemsalready present.In order to keep costs down an important starting point was to manufacture theproduct with the fewest number of parts and after treatments possible. The featuresthat were implemented in the product should also make it easier to install theproduct. The final concept resulted in two parts: a rear piece, and a fairing to beinjection molded in a type of plastic called polycarbonate “durable plastic”.The result was a CAD version of a complete casing that provides protection andshelter to the electronics needed. Calculations and derivations for what is requiredfor injection molding have been taken into account. The report also describes theproblems that could not be resolved at this time and what recommendations youshould follow.

Este estudo propõe pensar o herói-anti-herói Sousândrade-Guesa, de "O Inferno de Wall Street" (o emblemático fragmento do poema épico O Guesa, de Joaquim de Sousa Andrade - Sousândrade), como um símbolo do excluído, do miserável, do deslocado, do vencido de ontem e de hoje. A pesquisa parte de uma investigação sobre a violência da linguagem, enquanto órgão de classificação, divisão, racionalização, nacionalização e sentido. Um sentido que é também a condição de verdade para a produção do discurso histórico, esse discurso que conta sempre uma mesma e única história: a dos vencedores. O multidiomático, as invenções-inversões, o hibridismo, o caos, os fragmentos e as dissonâncias do texto sousandradino se apresentam, portanto, como um combate com a língua dentro da própria língua, um périplo de atravessamento, um deserto onde a representação não é mais possível, uma espécie de literatura menor, de devir-menor, de desvio, de ruptura com esse discurso, essa história, essa ordem, uma quebra com toda idéia de completude e naturalidade da língua, dos idiomas, da lei, do mercado, de questionamento em relação a nossas construções binaristas, eternas e hierarquizadas, enfim, de potência de desarticulação do sistema. Nesses desvios, Sousândrade-Guesa se apresenta um Outro, um singular, conseqüentemente, um homo sacer, alguém que deve ser excluído, um messias que se abre ao fracasso, ao abandono de si, mas que, por isso mesmo, é capaz de profanar o improfanável capitalismo, de resistir e tentar uma nova comunidade.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie är utförd inom lärarutbildningen och kursen Språk och språkutveckling. Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka hur elever i år 1 agerar under boksamtal och vilket lärande som gestaltas i dessa samtal. Sex elever i år 1 har deltagit i en serie boksamtal som planerats och genomförts med inspiration av den sokratiska samtalsmodellen (Lindström, 2000). Studiens resultat har belysts med tre teoretiska perspektiv; ett didaktiskt perspektiv, ett receptionsteoretiskt perspektiv samt ett läsförståelseteoretiskt perspektiv. Tre kategorier av läsförståelsestrategier identifierades; att fråga, att göra inferenser och att läsa. Dessa läsförståelsestrategier framträdde i analysen av barnens handlande under boksamtalen. Receptionsanalysen visade att boksamtalen öppnade upp en dialog kring olika tolkningar och värdering av texten. Om en elev avvisar en text får denne chans att via dialogen förhandla om mening och ges därmed möjlighet att bekräfta eller förändra sin kunskap. Den didaktiska analysen av boksamtalen åskådliggjorde att detta var en undervisningsform där dialogen och den sociala interaktionen är de primära kunskapskällorna. Förhandling om mening uppstår i situationen och är inte bestämd i förväg. Studiens resultat gjorde tydligt att eleverna med hjälp av boksamtalet blir aktiva läsare, vilket är en förutsättning för god läsförståelse. Lärarens roll i boksamtalen var att stödja elevernas lärandeprocesser och inte att definiera vilken kunskap som skulle läras in. Boksamtalen visade sig också ta tillvara på det demokratiska uppdrag som skolan har.
This study is carried out within the teacher education and the course Språk och språkutveckling (language and language development). The aim of the study has been to examine how pupils in year 1 act during booktalk and what kind of learning that occurs in the booktalk sessions. Six pupils in year 1 have been participating in a series of booktalk, planned and carried out with inspiration from the Socratic Model of Conversation (Lindström, 2000). To analyse the results of the study, three theoretical perspectives have been used; a didactic perspective, a reader-response perspective and a reading comprehension perspective. Three categories of reading comprehension strategies were identified; to ask, to make inferences and to read. These reading comprehension strategies became apparent in the analysis of the pupils actions during the booktalk. The reader-response analysis showed that the booktalk made a dialogue about different interpretation and appraisal possible. A pupil who rejects a text gets a chance to negotiate about meaning through the dialogue and are thereby given the opportunity to confirm or change his or hers knowledge. The didactic analysis exhibited that the booktalk represents an educational model where the dialogue and the social interaction are the primary sources of knowledge. The construction of meaning originates from the situation and is not predestined by the teacher. The result of the study made it clear that the pupils due to the booktalk became active readers, which is required for developing good reading comprehension. The teacher’s part in the booktalk was to support the learning process of the pupils, not to define which kind of knowledge they should require. The booktalk also showed to have the possibility to put the democratic assignment of the school into practice.

Full textAbstract:
Matchning av observationer på bakgrundsvariabler är en metod att i praktiken undvika de problem som uppstår när vi i icke-deterministiska observationsstudier vill mäta potentiella effekter av exem-pelvis projektsatsningar inom sjukvården. Problemet är att vi är begränsade i våra val till potentiella kontrollindivider eftersom dessa ofta skiljer sig från de behandlade individerna i fråga om faktorer som ofta är högt korrelerade med effektvariabeln som vi är intresserade av. Med hjälp av matchning på retrospektiva data kan vi dock ändå estimera kontrafaktiska individer som därefter kan användas som kontroller i estimationen av behandlingseffekten. Inferens av denna effektutvärderingsestimator är dock problematisk då vissa individer potentiellt kan användas flera gånger i analysen och skapa sned-vridning i variansestimatorn. Istället motiveras i denna uppsats en alternativ metod att göra inferens; via subsampling. Utgångspunkten för denna procedur är att asymptotiskt skatta den empiriska fördel-ningen för estimatorn av intresse genom resampling och därefter göra inferens via denna approxima-tion. Uppsatsens empiriska del är baserad på en applikation om Resursteam som har som övergripande mål att förkorta sjukdomsperioderna för individer som ligger i riskzonen för att drabbas av långtids-sjukskrivningar. Som jämförelse används en tidigare utvärdering av Resursteam där ett annat län an-vänds för att välja lämpliga kontroller.
