O trabalho foi realizado na Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana (Núcleo Santa Virgínia - Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, São Paulo, situado entre 2317 a 2324S e 4503 a 4511W), com o objetivo de avaliar como as variações micro-ambientais de solo, liteira e topografia influenciam a composição e estrutura da comunidade de palmeiras. Em duas parcelas permanentes de um hectare, A e B, divididas em três transecções de 10x100 m e subparcelas de 10x10m, foram levantadas todas as palmeiras existentes com o propósito de conhecer a riqueza das espécies e estrutura das populações. Nas sub-parcelas amostras de solo foram coletadas para a determinação das propriedades química e física do solo; a espessura de liteira foi determinada em cinco pontos aleatórios; e a microtopografia de cada uma foi classificada em cume, vertente e vale. Nas duas parcelas (A e B) foram amostrados 3161 ind./0,6 ha e quatro espécies: Euterpe edulis, Geonoma gamiova, Geonoma pohliana e Geonoma schottiana. A fração dominante do solo ao longo de todos transectos foi a areia, em especial nos vales. A camada de liteira variou de espessura entre as classes topográficas. As variáveis K, P, Ca e Mg apresentaram baixos teores nas parcelas e conseqüentemente também foram baixos os teores da soma de bases. A saturação por bases foi baixa nas parcelas devido a alta concentração de Al e a baixa fertilidade do solo. A heterogeneidade micro-ambiental ocasionou variação na distribuição e composição de apenas algumas espécies de palmeiras, em especial o gênero Geonoma, apesar do maior número de indivíduos da E. edulis. A elevada densidade das espécies de palmeiras estudadas são indícios que as mesma estão adaptadas a condições de alta acidez, baixa fertilidade e umidade dolo, podendo ser indicadoras de alto potencial de seu emprego para recuperação de áreas degradadas em especial nas encostas e topos de morro.The work was conducted in tropical montane rain forest (Núcleo Santa Virginia State Park of Serra do Mar, São Paulo, Brazil, situated in 23172324S and 45034511W), in order to assess how the micro-environmental variations of soil, topography and litter affect the composition and structure of the palm community. In two one hectare permanent plots, A and B, divided into three transects (10x100 m) and subplots (10x10m), it were surveyed all existing palms with the purpose of to know the richness of species and population structure. In sub-plots soil samples were collected to determine the chemical and physical properties of soil, thickness of litter was determined in five random points, and microtopography of each one was classified into ridge, slope and valley. In the two plots (A and B) were sampled 3161 individuals/0.6 ha and four species: Euterpe edulis, Geonoma gamiova, Geonoma pohliana and Geonoma schottiana. The soil dominant fraction in all transects was the sand, especially the valleys. The thickness of the litter layer ranged in between topographic classes. The variables K, P, Ca and Mg showed low levels in the plots and consequently were also low the levels of the basis sum. The saturation basis was low in the plots due to high concentration of Al and low soil fertility. The micro-environmental heterogeneity caused variation in the distribution and composition of a few species of palms, especially the genus Geonoma, despite the larger number of individuals of E. edulis. The high density of palm species studied are indications that the same are adapted to conditions of high acidity, low fertility, and moisture soil, which could indicate a high potential for their use for restoration of degraded areas especially on hillsides and hilltops.

Full textAbstract:
La dystrophie musculaire de Duchenne (DMD) est une pathologie musculaire sévère caractérisée par l'absence d'une protéine : la dystrophine, protéine sous-membranaire permettant de faire le lien entre la matrice extracellulaire et le cystosquelette. La déficience en dystrophine entraine une dégénérescence musculaire progressive conduisant à la mort du patient. Le lien entre l'absence de dystrophine et la mort des cellules musculaires reste encore mal établi. De nombreuses études ont mis en évidence une dérégulation calcique des cellules musculaires squelettiques déficientes en dystrophine, ainsi qu'une implication des stocks intracellulaires de calcium contenu dans le réticulum sarcoplasmique. De plus, le calcium libéré par les récepteurs à l'IP3 (IP3Rs) semblent être impliqué dans cette dérégulation calcique. Dans cette étude, nous avons confirmé la présence d'une libération calcique globale, après stimulation, supérieure dans les cellules sans dystrophine comparativement aux cellules exprimant la mini-dystrophine. De même, au repos, les libérations calciques localisées spontanées sont plus abondantes dans les cellules déficientes en dystrophine. Ces résultats ont également été observés dans les myotubes provenant de culture primaire de souris mdx (modèle animal de la DMD), comparativement aux souris Bl10 (souris contrôles). Afin d’étudier la régulation de la libération de calcium, des expérimentations de libération calcique artificielle par la méthode de photolyse de calcium encagé ont été menées à différents stades de maturation des cellules musculaires provenant des souris mdx et contrôles. Nous avons également étudié la régulation à court et à long terme du calcium provenant des IP3Rs à l'aide de la cyclosporine A. Cette étude nous a permis de mettre en évidence une possible implication de la voie calcineurine/NFAT. De plus, la régulation pharmacologique de cette voie a révélé une modulation des libérations calciques globales et spontanées, ainsi qu'une diminution de l’expression de l'IP3R1. A ces deux effets, s'ajoute une protection contre la mort cellulaire naturelle des cellules déficientes en dystrophine par la modulation de la voie IP3. Ces résultats suggèrent l'implication des IP3Rs dans la dérégulation calcique des cellules déficientes en dystrophine entraînant la mort prématurée de ces cellules. Il serait maintenant intéressant de comprendre comment la dystrophine intervient dans la modulation de cette voie de libération du calciumIn Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the lack of dystrophin leads to muscle degeneration and progressive weakness. The link between the lack of dystrophin and the cell death is not well established. However, calcium mishandling was observed in dystrophin-deficient muscle cells, involving sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium stores depending on IP3Rs. Global calcium releases after depolarization and spontaneous calcium events at rest were greater in dystrophin-deficient cells than in mini-dystrophin transfected cells. Theses results were confirmed in primary cultures of myotubes from mdx mouse (animal model of the DMD) comparatively to Bl10 mouse (control mouse). Moreover, the short term and long term IP3 pathway regulation was investigated. This study showed a possible involvement of the calcineurin/NFAT pathway in the IP3R-1 expression. Furthermore, pharmacological regulation of this pathway revealed calcium releases modulation, decrease of IP3R-1 expression and protecting effect against dystrophin-deficient natural cell death. These data suggest the involvement of the IP3Rs calcium mishandling leading to the death of dystrophin-deficient muscle cells. Now, it will be interesting to examine in a deeper way the role of the dystrophin in the modulation of this calcium release pathway

Full textAbstract:
Dans l'Altaï mongol un art vocal singulier et rare s'est développé, utilisant des émissions de l'arrière-gorge, communes au 'chant diphonique' khoomii, à l'exécution du répertoire épique dans le style khailakh, et au jeu de la flute verticale tsour. L'étude de chacun de ces trois genres, à partir d'enregistrements réalisés sur le terrain, tente de montrer en quoi réside leur originalité artistique propre. Le 'chant diphonique', analyse sous l'angle de la phonétique, pose le problème du geste phonatoire, tandis que le style épique chanté est appréhendé en rapport avec la langue parlée. Le jeu de la flute tsour est traité par une analyse d'une série de transcriptions musicales qui mettent en valeur l'esptir compositionnel structure de l'instrumentiste. Enfin, un recueil de dix-huit chants recueillis auprès des mongols zakhtchin et ouriankhai de l'Altaï, présentés avec leur transcription musicale, leur translittération du mongol cyrillique, leur écriture en mongol iugur et leur traduction en français, vient compléter le tableau musical si particulier à cette région occidentale de la Mongolie.

Ansari, Mohammad Nayeem Aziz. "Hunger, place and seasonality : understanding Monga vulnerability in northwest Bangladesh." Thesis, Durham University, 2013. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/9439/.
Full textAbstract:
This research sets out to understand risk and resilience from the perspective of very vulnerable households in Rangpur region of northwest Bangladesh, who are exposed to the Monga. The local term ‘Monga’ is defined as seasonal hunger and food insecurity or most commonly a famine-like situation that hits every year in two spells: the severe period during the Bengali months of Ashwin – Kartik (Mid September – Mid November), and the less severe one from Chaittra – Baishak (Mid March – Mid May). A group of people, particularly female headed households, agriculture wage labourers, marginal and small scale deficit farmers are the most Monga affected due primarily to seasonal unemployment and lack of cash, related with the local single to two rice crop economy that is entirely inadequate to meet their needs in those two periods. The Monga situation is more severe some years because of wide scale impact of natural disasters like floods, riverbank erosion, drought and, the worst situation is to be found on the river (char) islands. Recent Monga severity suggests that the situation is not markedly different from what it was. Situating this seasonal hunger, the research argues that the interpretation of Monga is not independent of an understanding of the socio-economic, political and their relational interactions that ultimately configure and reconfigure it. The research motivation thus derives from the need to examine Monga vulnerability and so deepen our insights into the seasonal hunger and food insecurity experiences of the affected households. This thesis explores the underlying multiple factors that (re)shapes food vulnerability at the household level and, how the affected households cope with and how their strategies are played out in their own particular risk and resilience contexts. Eventually, it aims to create a new vocabulary around the old problem of the Monga by examining how Monga vulnerability contributes to chronic poverty and food insecurity at the household level and vice-versa. This research is entirely qualitative in nature. Empirical evidence was collected from five villages in the Rangpur region and associated GO-NGO sources using different ethnographic and qualitative methods. The findings highlight that the Monga predisposes the households to multi-sphere experiences of hunger (i.e. qualitative, quantitative and physiological) and poverty. It is not just one consequence of income poverty; rather, the social and livelihood mechanisms of poor households are dysfunctional, multiply rooted in their entitlements, capabilities, their ways of living and coping, and the negotiations they have with the complex network of institutions that affect households both singly and synergistically. The macroeconomic constraints limit the political economy choices at the micro level and the existence of Monga can be explained by the limited, inadequate and indifferent performance of the different actors that reproduce poverty and chronic food insecurity. The present research reveals that breaking the recurrence of Monga requires its repoliticisaiton. Important factors in this regard are the establishment of food rights and an increase in household resilience.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la distribution des voyelles longues (VV) et leur statut phonologique en syllabe non-initiale, et le dévoisement vocalique en mongol. Le mongol est une langue à quantité vocalique. D'après Stuart et Holtod (1975), Svantesson et al. (2005) et Karlsson (2005), les voyelles longues apparaissent uniquement en syllabe initiale et les VV non-initiales sont considérées comme des voyelles courtes. Cette étude remet en question ce point de vue en prenant en considération le développement historique des voyelles longues et démontre que, synchroniquement, la durée phonétique des voyelles ne suffit pas à elle seule à distinguer les voyelles longues des voyelles courtes. Cette étude montre que l'opposition doit aussi se fonder sur les comportements phonologiques distincts des voyelles longues et courtes. Les voyelles longues ont donc une distribution libre et les VV non-initiales sont longues phonologiquement. L'analyse du dévoisement vocalique (DV) s'inscrit dans le cadre de la typologie du DV (Chitoran et Marsico 2010). Elle se base sur deux types de corpus: mots-cibles (paroles contrôlée) et textes lus (paroles continues). Cette analyse montre que le mongol est hautement sensible au DV. Elle met en évidence les caractéristiques du DV, le type et le degré du DV et les paramètres pertinents conditionnant le DV tels que la qualité vocalique, les environnements consonantiques sourds, le type et la position des syllabes ainsi que la structure morphologique. Elle montre que d'un côté le mongol partage des traits communs de la typologie du DV et de l'autre, présente des caractéristiques du DV propres à cette langueThis dissertation focuses on the distribution of long vowels (VV) and their phonological status in non-initial syllables and vowel devoicing in Mongolian. Mongolian is a language with vowel quantity. According to Stuart and Holtod (1975), Svantesson et al. (2005) and Karlsson (2005), long vowels only appear in the initial position of the word and the VV sequences in the non-initial syllables are considered as short vowels. This study questions this point of view by considering the historical development of long vowels, and demonstrates that, synchronously, the phonetic vowel length alone is not sufficient to distinguish long vowels from short vowels. This study shows that the opposition between long and short vowels should also be based on the different phonological behaviours of the long and short vowels. Non-initial VV sequences are therefore phonologically long and long vowels have a free distribution. The analysis of vowel devoicing (VD) is based on the framework of the typology of VD (Chitoran and Marsico 2010). Two types of corpus are analysed: target-words (controlled speech) and read texts (continuous speech). This analysis shows that Mongolian is highly sensitive to VD. This study highlights the features of VD, the type and the degree of VD and the relevant parameters determining VD in Mongolian such as vowel quality, voiceless consonant environments, type and position of syllables and morphological structure of the words. It shows that on the one hand Mongolian shares the common features of the typology of VD but on the other hand displays its own characteristics of VD

Resumo: Polinização por esfingídeos é provavelmente um dos sistemas menos estudados em comunidades tropicais, especialmente na Mata Atlântica, que constitui um dos biomas mais diversos e ameaçados do planeta. Foram estudadas a flora esfingófila e a fauna de Sphingidae em uma área de Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana (FODM) e analisados os processos ecológicos subjacentes às interações entre esfingídeos e plantas. Ao todo 24 espécies compuseram a flora esfingófila da área estudada, dentre as quais, quatro espécies possuem adaptações estritas à polinização por esfingídeos. A fauna de esfingídeos foi composta por 50 espécies com grande predomínio de mariposas com probóscides curtas. Plantas e esfingídeos apresentaram ajustamento morfológico significativo na distribuição dos comprimentos de tubos florais e de probóscides, porém ao contrário do padrão geral de outras áreas na região Neotropical, não houve ajustamento fenológico estrito entre esfingídeos e plantas na Mata Atlântica. A presença sazonal de mariposas com longas probóscides na área está relacionada principalmente a emigração de espécies oriundas de ecossistemas adjacentes à FODM. Limitação de polinizadores foi comum nas espécies vegetais mais especializadas o que limitou a produção de frutos. Os processos de seleção mediada por polinizadores nestas espécies, também foram afetados. Porém, processos locais de seleção mediada por polinizadores, provavelmente devem agir na estruturação de ajustamentos morfológicos entre esfingídeos e plantas, mesmo sendo variáveis no tempo e no espaço, conforme sugerem os resultados. Apesar da ausência de ajustamento fenológico estrito entre esfingídeos e plantas na Mata Atlântica, o padrão geral registrado em outros biomas sugere ocorrência de esfingídeos de longas probóscides coincidente com a floração de espécies esfingófilas com longos tubos florais. Como este grupo de plantas oferece maior quantidade de néctar em um "nicho privado" aos esfingídeos de longas probóscides, esse ajustamento fenológico poderia ser visto como estratégia para minimizar a competição por recursos florais entre mariposas com probóscides longas e curtas nas comunidades de Sphingidae
Abstract: Hawkmoth pollination is probably one of the least studied pollination systems in tropical communities, particularly in the Atlantic Rainforest, one of the most diverse and threatened biomes in the world. In this work we studied the sphingophilous plants and the Sphingidae fauna in an area of Highland AtlanticRainforest (HARF) and analyzed the ecological processes underlying the interactions between plants and hawkmoths. Altogether, 24 species composed the sphingophilous flora recorded to the study site, among which four species had strict adaptations related to hawkmoth pollination. The hawkmoth fauna was composed of 50 species with great predominance of short-tongued moths. Hawkmoths and plants showed a significant morphological match in the distribution of floral tubes and proboscises lengths, but unlike the general pattern obtained for other areas in the Neotropical region, we did not record a strict phenological match between hawkmoths and plants in the Atlantic Rainforest. The seasonal occurrence of long-tongued moths in the study site is related mainly to the income of migrating species from adjacent ecosystems to the HARF. Pollinator-limitation was common in the most specialized sphingophilous plants limiting fruit-set. Pollinator-mediated selection processes in highly specialized species were also impaired. However, local processes of pollinator-mediated selection may operate structuring the morphological match between hawkmoths and plants in spite of being variable in time and space, as suggested by the results. Despite the absence of a strict phenological match between hawkmoths and plants in the Atlantic Rainforest, the general pattern recorded to other analyzed biomes suggests a concurrence of long-tongued hawkmoths and long-tubed flowers through the phenological time. Since this group of plants offers greater amounts of nectar in a "private niche" where only long-tongued hawkmoths can have access, such phenological match could be viewed as a strategy to reduce competition for floral resources between long- and short-tongued moths in the Sphingidae community

Full textAbstract:
À partir du constat de l'importance de l'argumentation scripturaire dans le discours du mépris du savoir mondain au Moyen âge et de la récurrence des versets employés, compte tenu de la dynamique intertextuelle ouvrant la citation sur sa tradition interprétative, notre thèse a pour but d'éclairer la signification de ce discours à travers le prisme exégétique. L'étude des commentaires bibliques médiévaux d'un corpus significatif, mettant en lumière pour chaque verset les perspectives de lecture retenues et les développements sémantiques opérés, permet alors une exploitation thématique transversale, caractérisant l’objet et la justification du mépris en question, dont la compréhension des différentes manifestations s'appuie ainsi sur l’apport du savoir sacré. Le recours à l’exégèse, inscrivant dans une continuité l’effort d’élucidation de l’expression biblique de la limitation de l'entendement humain, de la vanité de la science, de la réprobation des sages et de l’éviction de la sagesse de la parole dans la folie de la croix, permet d’appréhender de manière privilégiée, au cœur d’une confiance paradoxale dans le langage, les ressorts de la critique médiévale du dévoiement du savoir dans sa réception de l’héritage patristique et dans son orientation vers la connaissance salvifiqueAknowledging as a key feature the recurrence of biblical verses within the argumentation conveyed by the medieval contempt of secular learning, given that the use of Scripture in the Middle Ages implies intertextual developments through exegesis, we offer to the understanding of this contempt the light of the medieval biblical commentaries upon a selection of preponderant verses. From the examination of the hermeneutical choices and semantic associations regarding each verse, we are then allowed to extend its contribution to an overview of this medieval approach towards knowledge and of its explanatory topics. The issues of secular versus sacred erudition are therefore received in a meaningful confrontation. By taking medieval exegesis as a reading key, from its insertion within a collective and progressive work of interpretation of Scripture, we offer to read the critic of the errance of knowledge in the Middle Ages in its reception of the patristic problematics and through the anagogical paradigm ; the biblical themes of the deficiency of human understanding, of the paucity and vanity of knowledge, and of the condemnation of the wise and of the wisdom of words in the foolishness of the Cross are then read through the paradoxical expression of the reliability of language

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the material and visual characteristics of silk-gold textiles produced in the Mongol empire during the 13th and 14th century. Their consumption and reception both within and beyond the Mongol empire is a central theme. Beginning with a discussion of the various consumption patterns of gold textiles and their multiple uses among the members of the Mongol elite, I then examine the eclectic gold designs and ornaments of the textiles and their symbolic representations in relation to aesthetics, cosmology and identity. The movement and transformation of gold textiles beyond the Mongol Empire is explored the second half and European consumption pattern are shown to share some similarities with the patterns of consumption practices discovered in the Mongol Empire. The comparative approach utilized here is new but these gold textiles have, in the past, been studied as products of one location, and categorized accordingly. Generally they have been assigned geographical and cultural provenances based on their stylistic features and their technical features. For this reason, gold textiles are often assigned to specific locations of production. This thesis challenges this practice and argues that concepts such as identity, authenticity, provenance and hybridity remain undependable measures when evaluating gold textiles from the Mongol period.

Resumo: O Nitrogênio é um nutriente essencial para o crescimento das plantas e produtividade de um ecossistema, visto sua ação como limitante para a fotossíntese ou relação com a reflectância da luz (albedo). Além disso, detém importância ecológica por ser uma ferramenta para a categorização de espécies em classes sucessionais baseado na utilização de suas formas disponíveis. Dessa forma, a compreensão da fisiologia do uso de N é essencial, especialmente em florestas tropicais, onde existem poucos estudos com essa abordagem. A Mata Atlântica (MA) é originalmente a segunda maior floresta tropical do continente americano, contudo grande parte de sua área e biodiversidade foi perdida e atualmente essa Floresta é definida como um "hotspot" para conservação da biodiversidade. O conhecimento e entendimento da estrutura e do funcionamento de ecossistemas complexos como os que compõem a MA é de suma importância para a discussão de temas atuais como o balanço de carbono global, nutrição vegetal e mudanças climáticas. Dentre os principais objetivos foram: a caracterização fitossociológica e estrutural de um trecho de Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana (FODM), elucidar as estratégias de utilização de nitrogênio pelas plantas e avaliar através de parâmetros foliares, as respostas das plantas frente à mudança da estação do ano e a sazonalidade intrínseca. A área de coleta estava localizada na microbacia Ribeirão Casa de Pedra, Núcleo Santa Virgínia/Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar- São Luiz do Paraitinga, SP. Quanto à estrutura e composição do trecho de FODM estudado pode-se verificar uma floresta em estádio secundário inicial de regeneração avançando para uma condição mais tardia, sendo essa definição baseada tanto no histórico de utilização da área, quanto na composição de espécies e fisiologia do uso de nitrogênio. Assim, os resultados indicaram que em FODM há intensa diversidade biológica e diversidade funcional. Importante ressaltar também que esse projeto de mestrado foi parte integrante do Projeto Temático "Carbon tracker and water availability: controls of land use and climate changes" (Clima - FAPESP 08/58120-3; período de 2009-2013; coordenação Humberto Ribeiro da Rocha), cujo objetivo principal foi a quantificação à longo prazo da dinâmica dos fluxos de água, energia e CO2 em Biomas de Cerrado e Mata Atlântica no sudeste do Brasil
Abstract: Nitrogen is an essencial nutrient for plant growth and ecosystem productivity, either by limiting photosynthesis or related to the light reflectance (albedo). In addition, N has an ecological importance because it can be a tool for the categorization of species in ecological succession and functional types based on the use of its available forms. Thus, understanding the physiology of N use is essential, especially in tropical forests, where despite the impending increase of this element as a result of intensive fertilization or atmospheric deposition there are few studies using this approach. The Atlantic Forest (AF) is originally the second largest rainforest at the America continent, but much of its area and biodiversity has been lost and now the forest is defined as a "hotspot" for biodiversity conservation. The knowledge and understanding of the structure and functioning of complex ecosystems such as those that comprise the AF is of paramount importance for the discussion of current issues as the global carbon balance, plant nutrition and climate change. The main aims were: phytosociological and structural characterization of the tree component in a Montane Tropical Rainforest, understand the strategies of nitrogen use by plants and assess through leaf parameters, the response of plants to the change of season and intrinsic seasonality. The study area of the three chapters that follow are inserted in the watershed Ribeirão Casa de Pedra, Núcleo Santa Virginia Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, located in São Luiz do Paraitinga-SP. The results indicated that Montane Tropical Rainforest was in initial secondary stage of regeneration evolving to a climax condition, based on the past human disturbance in the area, species composition and physiology of N use. Also indicated that this forest has many species and functional diversity. It is also important to note that this Master's project is part of the Thematic Project "Carbon tracker and water availability: controls of land use and climate changes" (Climate - FAPESP 08/58120-3; period 2009-2013; coordinated by Humberto Ribeiro da Rocha), whose main objective is to quantify the long-term dynamics of fluxes of water, CO2, energy at Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes in southeastern Brazil

Full textAbstract:
The Mongol and the Ottoman leadership structures emerged in milieus where identities were changeable, mobility was high and the alliances were shifting. Chinggis Khan arose to degree of Khanate of entire Mongolia from an extremely marginal position in tribal politics and his experiences in this process provided him an anti-tribal political vision. He at the very beginning of his career formed the nucleus of his political power by his relationships and entourages. Later, he reorganized the clans and tribes, which submitted their loyalty to him around those principal participants in his army of conquest. Osman Bey made successful conquests thanks to the advantageous geographical position of his principality, became famous in a short time and managed to attract various elements of complex social structure of the Byzantine frontiers to him. He did not involve in a harsh struggle for leadership. Instead of monopolization of power, he favored sharing of it with his companions in arms.
Mongols, after monopolizing power in the steppes devoted their energies to frontier conquests. However, during Chinggis Khan&rsquos reign, the Mongols saw the centre of the authority there. Their relation with the societies outside the Mongolia was indirect. Ottomans on the other hand, built up their administrative apparatus in the conquered territories. The Ottomans created a new bureaucratic group which did not have a power base besides the posts in Ottoman state and placed them to the centre of administration. Those posts did not have any hereditary dimension. The Mongols, contrary to the Ottomans, turned the state offices to hereditary posts and in time they began to distribute peoples, armies, lands and resources throughout the empire as appanages to state officers. Therefore, the Chinggisids created a new aristocracy who had the power in their hands to shake the centralist order of Chinggis Khan.

Full textAbstract:
Childhood obesity is a major public health concern for Americans. Many school-based health interventions and campaigns have been in place in the elementary school setting to help lower the rates of childhood obesity and to make students aware of their health. This study focuses on the implementation of the Healthy Monday campaign to fourth and fifth grade students in two Kentucky elementary schools. Particularly the focal points of the campaign consist of nutrition and physical activity. The campaign highlights two spin-off campaigns from the Healthy Monday campaign titled the Monday Mile and Meatless Monday. This study looks at the effectiveness of the overall health campaign to the fourth and fifth grade students, their parents, and teachers in the two schools. Pre and post surveys were developed in order to test four components of the health campaign: campaign awareness, attitudes, nutrition knowledge, and behavior change. This study shows that the health campaign increased student’s awareness, nutrition knowledge, and behavior change. Also the parent and teacher population showed significant increase in campaign awareness and behavior change. Overall, the health campaign created awareness among all three populations.

Full textAbstract:
I examine changing herding practices in Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, contrasting
the perspectives of herders with those of local officials and scientists. I also
carried out comparative fieldwork in a similar steppe environment in
Mongolia. I present a model for research which involves exploring multiple
perspectives, including different scales and domains. The model has broad
applicability, but was designed in response to pressing problems involving
human-environmental interactions.
In 1992-1993, from the point of view of many Chinese scientists and policy
makers, traditional Mongol herding in Inner Mongolia was in a state of crisis,
with widespread land degradation and frequent, crippling natural disasters.
Their response involved sweeping changes to what was perceived as an
inefficient and unproductive herding system. Xilingol herders were facing an
additional challenge with the end of communal herding. In Mongolia, herders
were also adjusting to the .end of the collective era. However, political, social
and historical factors had contributed to significantly different development
agendas each side of the Chinese/Mongolian border.
Like the officials and scientists, Xilingol herders recognised the impact of
climatic extremes, environmental change, and the potential to increase their
standard of living. However, their interpretations differed in several crucial
ways. Notably, herders did not perceive the climate as a series of recurrent
natural disasters, but rather as a variable, harsh, but well-understood part of
their normal environment. From their point of view, traditional herding
techniques allowed them to respond to this variability by exploiting
environmental heterogeneity. In contrast, scientists either saw herder methods
as 'backward', or assumed that traditional skills were no longer practised.
I documented a high level of environmental knowledge among herders,
involving identification and careful use of resources at different scales. This
allowed them to provide for their stock during the normal seasonal cycle, and
to respond to more extreme periods. Where their fundamental technique,
movement of stock, was limited, herders were frustrated. They were no longer
able to avoid the worst excesses of climatic extremes, nor move away from
areas where heavy grazing was leading to environmental change. Inner
Mongol herders blamed increasing local populations, associated with Han
immigration, for the loss of land and restrictions on nomadism.
Competing assessments of Mongol herding partly reflect divergent responses
to variability. I explore the influence of scale on interpretations of
heterogeneity and, more generally, argue for the importance of a critical
awareness of scale.

Purpose/Aim: The purpose of this essay is to examine from the customers’ perspective how the Swedish jeans-brand Cheap Monday in just three years time could become such a prominent brand on the Swedish market. An additional purpose is to examine whether there is some kind of brand community connected to the brand or not.
Material/Method: The main method used in this essay has been qualitative interviews with ten consumers of the brand. The answers from these interviews has then been analysed using two different theories, Keller’s Customer Based Brand Equity and Muniz and O’Guinnn’s Brand Community.
Main results: The main results of this essay is that Cheap Monday is a brand that has become successful due to people’s perception of who the users of the brand are. The consumers has already from the start gotten a good impression of the brand, since they’ve seen people who they liked, and people who they thought were cool and well dressed wearing Cheap Monday clothing. This is linked to the fact that Cheap Monday costs so much less than their competitors, since the “cool people” that use Cheap Monday clothing makes the low price acceptable and a good thing from the customers perspective, instead of it being a indicator that the brand is unfashionable and no good. It has also been proved that there is somewhat of a brand community connected to the brand, even though the respondents in this essay did not feel connected to this community. On the other hand, almost all of the respondents did think that other people who wear Cheap Monday in some way felt some kind of connection to each other, and most of them a reed on that the brand on its own more or less has originated a new style.

Entre outubro de 2009 e dezembro de 2012, foi realizado estudo no Laboratório de Hidrologia Florestal Walter Emmerich (L.H.F.W.E.), para avaliar o potencial hidrológico dos nevoeiros e a precipitação oculta em ambiente de Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana, na Serra do Mar, em Cunha, a leste do Estado de São Paulo. Os objetivos específicos da pesquisa foram: 1) avaliar o desempenho de coletores de água de nevoeiro; 2) verificar o potencial de coleta de água de nevoeiro no laboratório; 3) analisar o potencial de coleta de água de nevoeiro em três setores da microbacia experimental D; 4) averiguar a distribuição espacial e temporal de ocorrência dos nevoeiros na microbacia D e 5) estimar a contribuição da precipitação oculta na floresta da microbacia D. Para alcançar os três primeiros objetivos foram usados coletores passivos tipo harpa, nas formas cilíndrica e plana. Para estudar a distribuição de nevoeiros, foram feitas observações diárias de três referências visuais situadas a distâncias conhecidas no interior da microbacia D. O método da medição da precipitação efetiva foi empregado para estimar a precipitação oculta na floresta. Sobre a distribuição espacial e temporal da ocorrência de nevoeiros na microbacia D, os resultados mostraram que os episódios de nevoeiro foram mais comuns à tarde, como decorrência da brisa marítima proveniente do Oceano Atlântico. Para 61,3% do tempo, em média, foi observada a presença de nevoeiro em algum setor da microbacia, com a ocorrência dos nevoeiros diminuindo de montante para jusante da área. No que concerne ao desempenho dos equipamentos, a média de coleta diferiu de coletor para coletor, exceto entre o coletor cilíndrico descoberto e o coletor plano, que interceptaram mais água que os coletores cilíndricos cobertos. O coletor plano foi o único a interceptar água em todos os episódios amostrados. Sobre o potencial de coleta de água de nevoeiros no laboratório, concluiu-se que é reduzido e resulta da combinação de três fatores: a grande ocorrência de nevoeiros de radiação, a curta duração dos ix episódios dos nevoeiros orográficos e a baixa intensidade dos ventos na região. No que concerne ao potencial de coleta de água de nevoeiro em três setores da microbacia D, árvores localizadas próximas aos coletores funcionaram como obstáculo à livre circulação dos nevoeiros orográficos, induzindo os coletores a interceptar exíguos volumes de água. Considerando apenas os eventos de nevoeiro sem chuva, a precipitação oculta foi de 2,3 mm, correspondendo a 0,12% da precipitação pluviométrica anual. Para os eventos de chuva com a presença de nevoeiro, a precipitação oculta gerou um total de 5,1 mm de água adicional ao piso da floresta, correspondendo a 0,27% da precipitação pluviométrica. Concluiu-se que a precipitação oculta na floresta não é um processo importante para a entrada de água na microbacia D.Between October 2009 and December 2012 a study was conducted at the Walter Emmerich Hydrologic Laboratory (LHFWE) to assess the hydrological potential of fog and occult precipitation in the Montane Dense Ombrophilous Forest environment located in the Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar - Núcleo Cunha, east of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The specific multiple objectives of the research were: 1) evaluate the performance of passive fog collectors, 2) evaluate the potential for collecting fog water in the laboratory, 3) evaluate the potential of collecting fog water in three sectors of experimental catchment \"D\", 4) determine the spatial and temporal distributions of fog occurrence in catchment \"D\", 5) estimate the contribution of occult precipitation in the rainforest in catchment \"D\". To achieve the first three objectives, cylindrical and flat harp collectors were used. To study the spatial and temporal distributions of fog occurrence, we made daily observations of three visual references located at known distances within the catchment. Net precipitation was measured and used to estimate the occult precipitation in the rainforest. Regarding the spatial and temporal distributions of fog occurrence, the results showed that episodes of fog were more common in the afternoon as a result of the sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean. For 61.3% of the time on average, we observed the presence of fog in some sector of the catchment, with its occurrence decreasing in areas located from upstream to downstream. Concerning the comparison of the performance of the collectors, the average volume of water collected differed from collector to collector, except between cylindrical collector uncovered and flat collector, which captured more water than the cylindrical collectors covered to prevent rainwater input. The flat collector was the only gauge to intercept water in all episodes. The high incidence of fog radiation, the short duration of orographic fog, and the low intensity of winds combined to reduce the potential for harvesting fog water in the laboratory. Regarding the potential for collecting fog water in three sectors of the catchment \"D\", xi trees located next to collectors operated as an obstacle to the free movement of orographic fog inducing gauges to intercept exiguous volumes of water. Considering only fog, but no rain, occult precipitation was 2.3 mm, corresponding to 0.12% of annual rainfall. For rainfall events with the presence of fog, occult precipitation generated a total of 5.1 mm of additional water to the floor of the forest, equivalent to 0.27% of the rainfall. It was therefore concluded that occult precipitation in rainforest did not significantly contribute to water entering catchment \"D\".

This study aimed to determine the influence of landscape nucleating elements on the natural regeneration of shrub-tree species, to understand the dynamics of regeneration and to determine how the dynamics patterns are influenced by environmental variables. The study was conducted in three grassland areas, adjacent to fragments of upper-montane Araucaria Forest, located in Santa Catarina Southern Plateau. In each area, located in the municipality of Urubici, a survey of the regeneration of woody species, of the nucleating elements and of environmental variables were conducted. Three transects, one per area, of 20x100 m, subdivided into sub-plots of 10x10 m, were installed perpendicular to the edge of the fragments with their length covering the grassland area. All shrub and tree regenerating individuals higher than or equal to 20 cm height and with dbh (diameter at breast height) < 5 cm, which were classified according to their dispersal syndromes (zoochorous, anemochorous or autochorous), were sampled. Adults (DBH ≥ 5 cm), fallen logs, dead trees and ferns and rocks were tested as nucleating elements. The x and y spatial coordinates of regenerating and nucleators elements were recorded. In each sub-plot, soil physic-chemical properties, the degree of soil compaction and topography were evaluated. One year after the first survey, the study of dynamics of shrub-tree component was conducted, with all individuals recounted, being dead and recruit individuals determined, with the obtainment of demographics rates of mortality, recruitment, net change and turnover for the three communities and populations. The data were analyzed through: O-ring function, for verification of spatial relationship between individuals belonging to different dispersal guilds and nucleating elements; Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by multiple comparison non-parametric tests, and ANOVA, followed by Tuckey tests, for evaluation of differences of environmental variables and demographics rates among areas; chi-square test applied to a contingency table, to verify the association of populations dynamics patterns and their regeneration guilds; correlation test, to analyze the relationships between demographics rates; Principal Component Areas, for identification of relevant environmental gradients; and mixed linear 16 models, for investigation of environmental gradient influence on demographic rates. The spatial relationships between individuals of different dispersal syndromes and nucleating elements were different among areas. Only individuals of zoochoric species presented association with the nucleating elements, being the dead tree ferns, logs and rocks the most effective elements for the regeneration process. The evaluation of dynamics indicated that the natural regeneration process is in an early succession stage and was characterized by the increment of individual abundance; the richness stability; spatial independence between mortality and recruitment; and recruitment limitation in function of low soil natural fertility and high Al availability. We conclude that the establishment of shrub-tree vegetation in the evaluated areas of grassland was influenced by the presence of nucleating elements and by soil nutrient and aluminum availability
Esse trabalho objetivou determinar a influência dos elementos nucleadores da paisagem sobre a regeneração natural de espécies arbustivo-arbóreas, conhecer a dinâmica dessa regeneração e determinar se os padrões encontrados são influenciados pelas variáveis ambientais. O estudo foi realizado em três áreas de campo, adjacentes a fragmentos de Floresta Ombrófila Mista Alto-Montana, localizadas na região do Planalto Sul Catarinense. Em cada área, situadas no município de Urubici, realizou-se o levantamento da regeneração de espécies lenhosas, dos elementos nucleadores e a caracterização ambiental. Foram instaladas três transecções, uma por área, de 20x100 m, subdividas em sub-parcelas de 10x10 m, perpendiculares à borda dos fragmentos, com sua extensão cobrindo a área de campo. Amostraram-se todos os indivíduos regenerantes arbustivo-arbóreos com 20 cm ou mais de altura e DAP (diâmetro a altura do peito) < 5 cm, que foram classificados, conforme suas síndromes de dispersão, em zoocóricos, anemocóricos ou autocóricos. Os indivíduos adultos (DAP ≥ 5 cm), troncos caídos, xaxins mortos e rochas foram testados como elementos nucleadores. Obtiveram-se as coordenadas espaciais x e y dos regenerantes e dos elementos nucleadores. Em cada sub-parcela, foram coletadas as propriedades físico-químicas dos solos, o grau de compactação dos solos e a topografia. Um ano após o primeiro inventário, foi realizado o estudo de dinâmica do componente arbustivo-arbóreo, com todos os indivíduos recontados, sendo determinados os indivíduos mortos e recrutas, obtendo-se as taxas demográficas de mortalidade, recrutamento, mudança líquida e rotatividade para as três comunidades e por populações. Os dados foram analisados por meio: da função O-rings, para verificar as relações espaciais entre os indivíduos pertencentes a diferentes guildas de dispersão e os elementos nucleadores; teste de Kruskal-Wallis, seguido por testes de comparações múltiplas não-paramétricas, e ANOVA, seguido por testes de Tuckey, para avaliar a existência de diferenças das variáveis ambientais e taxas demográficas entre as áreas; teste de qui-quadrado aplicado a uma tabela de contingência, para verificar a associação dos padrões de dinâmica 12 das populações e suas respectivas guildas de regeneração; teste de correlação, para analisar as relações entre as taxas demográficas; Análise de Componentes Principais, para identificar gradientes ambientais relevantes; e modelos lineares mistos, para investigar a influência dos gradientes ambientais sobre as taxas demográficas. As relações espaciais entre os indivíduos das diferentes síndromes de dispersão e os elementos nucleadores foram distintas entre as áreas. Somente os indivíduos de espécies zoocóricas se associaram aos elementos nucleadores, sendo os elementos mais efetivos para o processo de regeneração os xaxins mortos, troncos e rochas. As condições ambientais distintas entre as áreas imprimiram diferentes padrões de regeneração e relação com os elementos nucleadores. A avaliação da dinâmica indicou que o processo de regeneração natural se encontra em fase inicial de sucessão e foi caracterizado pelo incremento na abundância de indivíduos, estabilidade na riqueza, independência espacial entre a mortalidade e o recrutamento e limitação do recrutamento em função da baixa fertilidade natural do solo e elevada disponibilidade de Al. Conclui-se que o estabelecimento da vegetação arbustiva-arbórea nas áreas avaliadas de campos foi influenciado pela presença de elementos nucleadores e pela disponibilidade de nutrientes e alumínio no solo

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between American evangelicalism and contemporary society is a complex one. By looking at evangelical attitudes toward work, this study aspires to at least begin untangling some of this convoluted relationship. Drawing upon history, theology, and sociology, especially ethnographic methods and interviews, this study argues that when American evangelicals think about engaging their workplaces evangelism takes center stage. While, at a glance, this gospel and the effort to share it may seem at odds with contemporary sensibilities, a closer examination reveals certain concessions to culture among the evangelicals studied. More specifically, evangelical thoughts concerning work reveal that two central features of the gospel being shared, namely, sin and redemption, appear to be morphing in ways more congruent with contemporary culture. The evangelical relationship with their surrounding world reveals a tension between cultural distance and distinction, on the one hand, and cultural nearness or congruence, on the other. This tension does not mean that evangelicalism is necessarily on track to fail, as secularization proponents might argue. On the contrary, American evangelicalism, it will be suggested, actually finds a degree of sustainability in the world thanks to this tension. Moreover, some of this accommodation to culture accentuates important features indigenous to the evangelical tradition. Evangelical attitudes toward work, then, point to a complex and surprising relationship between evangelicalism and contemporary society.

Le propos de ce travail est d' approfondir l'étude sur les mouvements messianiques brésiliens, en faisant une recherche sur 1' Affaire Monge Barbudos (1935-1938) siegé a Bela Vista, sixiéme district, à cette époque , de Soledade au Rio Grande do Sul. Nous avons analysé l afusion des secteurs politiques et réligieux, quand l'un, au moment d' agir, se presentait avec les caractestiques de l' autre et aussi le contraire. Nous nous dédions au débat sur la cration de l' ennem, tellement prsente au Brésil dans les anes 30.

Dans ce contexte, les Monge Barbudos ont été accusé de communistes, des désagregateurs nationaux. A travers l'étude d' un mouvement réligieux, nous pouvons avor une lecture du Brésil a cette époque, et constater que ce mouvement concerné avait été une victime autant plus du contexte, c'est-à-dire, la période entre l’affaire Intentona Comunista (personifications de d' ennemi, le communisme) et le Coup d' Etat Nouveau (qui a imposé une nouvelle ordonnance sociale au pays) que par la ménace de ses idées. Plus que des événements parvenus de l'ignorance et du fanatisme, les mouvements réligieux sont une forme d'expression culturelle, sociale et quand même politique. La réligion pour eux devient le centre de leur existence, devenant possible l'expression et la compréhension, la participation et l'action dans une réalité a laquelle ils sont introduits comme des sujets d' action Donc, les répresentations du sacré nous rend possible d'envisager et de rentrer clans la maniére de voir et d' etre au monde de ces personnes, mi monde réligieux où ils vivent, sinon pour expliquer leur "rligiosité populaire", mais pour comprendre leur réligion et leur culture.O objetivo do trabalho 6 aprofundar o estudo sobre os movimentos messianicos brasileiros, realizando um estudo de caso, os Monges Barbudos (1935-1938) ocorrido em Bela Vista, então sexto distrito de Soledade, Rio Grande do Sul Analisamos a fuso dos campos poltico e religioso, quando um age e apresenta-se com caractersticas do outro e vice-versa.

Foram acusados de comunistas, agentes da desagregação nacional através do estudo de um movimento religioso, podemos realizar uma leitura do Brasil dos anos 30 e constatar que este movimento foi uma vitima muito mais contextual, isto é , o período entre a Intentona Comunista (personificação do inimigo, o comunismo) e o golpe do Estado Novo (impõe uma nova ordem social) que pela ameaça de suas idéias mais do que ocorrências oriundas da ignorância e do fanatismo, os movimentos religiosos são uma forma de expressão cultural, social e mesmo política. A religião neles torna-se o centro da existência e possibilita a expressão e a compreensão, a participação e a ação destes na realidade na qual estão inseridos, sendo sujeitos participantes da mesma Sendo assim, as representações do sagrado nos possibilitam adentrar na maneira de ser e ver o mundo destes sujeitos, o mundo religioso no qual vivem., não para explicar sua reugiosiaaue popular, mas para compreender sua religião, sua cultura.

Previous issue date: 2008-09-29An experiment was carried out to evaluate performance, development of digestive organs of young broiler chicks (one to twenty-one days of age) fed diets with different levels of digestible lysine in pre-starter diet (1 to 7 days old). A total of 480 day old Cobb 500 male chicks allotted in brooded batteries in a randomized block design with four levels of digestible lysine (1,050, 1,200, 1,350 e 1,500 %) with 10 replicates of 12 chicks each. Weight gain, feed intake, feed: gain ratio and development of digestive organs were evaluated. For statistical analysis the program SAEG developed by the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) was used. Analysis of polynomial regression was done for digestile lysine levels. No significant effect on broiler performance. Digestible lysine recommended for male broilers was 1,050% in pre-starter diet (1 to 7 days old).
Foram realizados cinco experimentos com frangos machos Cobb 500 na fase pré-inicial, alimentados com rações com diferentes níveis de Lys e Arg digestível e valores distintos do número de mongin (MO). Nos ensaios foram medidas as respostas produtivas, alterações nas características dos ossos das tíbias, biometria dos órgãos digestórios, níveis séricos sangüíneas de sódio (Na+); de cloro (Cl-) e de potássio (K+). Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e foi realizada regressão polinomial (5%) utilizando o programa SAEG Sistema de Análise Estatística e Genética elaborado pela Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV, 2000). Concluiu-se que níveis de Lys digestível de 1,050% promoveram desempenho adequado na fase pré-inicial (1 a 7 dias). O nível de 1,350% de Arg digestível resultou em melhor desempenho das aves de um a sete dias com a relação Arg:Lys digestível de 1,28. Valores de 200 a 236 mEq/kg de MO promoveram maior ganho de peso das aves na primeira semana. Valor de 304 mEq/kg de MO promoveu melhor desempenho das aves quando variou níveis de sódio para ajuste do MO. O menor desempenho apresentado na ração com MO de 238 mEq/kg pode ser devido ao nível de 0,15% de sódio na ração. Também foi encontrado nível de 1,380% de Arg digestível para melhor desempenho e a relação Arg:Lys digestível de 1,30. Pelos resultados obtidos é possível sugerir nível de 1,050% de Lys digestível e níveis de Arg digestível de 1,350 a 1,380% para ração pré-inicial. Valores de MO entre 200 a 236 mEq/kg resultaram em melhor desempenho na primeira semana, valor de MO de 304 mEq/kg promoveu maior desempenho comparado ao 238 mEq/kg, em um segundo experimento devido ao nível de sódio da dieta

Resumo: Florestas secundárias são constituídas por mosaicos de trechos em diferentes estágios sucessionais. As florestas estão sujeitas a ações antrópicas, diretas ou indiretas, que podem causar sua alteração, degradação ou supressão. Na Serra da Cantareira, houve o corte da floresta para a instalação de torres do novo traçado da Linha de Transmissão Guarulhos-Anhanguera, em julho de 2006, tendo como conseqüência a formação de clareiras de origem antrópica. O tamanho das clareiras variou de 106 m2 a 286 m2, num total de 0,2 ha. No primeiro capítulo, foi realizado o levantamento florístico da vegetação arbórea às margens dos traçados antigo e novo da linha de transmissão e nas picadas de acesso às torres, num total aproximado de 11 km de extensão. Foram identificadas 178 espécies, 54 famílias e 127 gêneros, sendo nove espécies consideradas ameaçadas de extinção. As famílias com maior riqueza de espécies foram Fabaceae (19 espécies), Myrtaceae (18), Lauraceae (16) e Rubiaceae (15). A similaridade florística encontrada com outros remanescentes florestais da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo e arredores variou entre 12% a 38%. No segundo capítulo, foi realizado o levantamento florístico do componente arbustivo-arbóreo nas clareiras antrópicas. Entre janeiro e fevereiro de 2010, foram encontradas 101 espécies, 32 famílias e 59 gêneros. As famílias com maior riqueza de espécies foram Solanaceae (16 espécies), Asteraceae (14), Piperaceae (10), Melastomataceae (8) e Euphorbiaceae (7). No terceiro capítulo, foi caracterizada a estrutura do componente arbustivoarbóreo dessas clareiras antrópicas. O levantamento foi realizado entre janeiro e maio de 2010. O critério de inclusão dos indivíduos foi a altura superior a 1,30 m. Foram amostrados 1.732 indivíduos, pertencentes a 140 espécies e 44 famílias. Destes, 1.336 indivíduos (77,2%) e 83 espécies, originaram-se por sementes, com densidade de 6.680 ind./ha e dominância de 6 m2/ha; e 396 indivíduos (22,8%) e 78 espécies, por brotação, com densidade de 1.980 ind./ha e dominância de 1,2 m2/ha. Para os indivíduos originados por sementes, Croton macrobothrys, Piptocarpha macropoda, Trema micrantha, Solanum mauritianum e Sessea brasiliensis apresentaram os maiores VI, e para aqueles originados por brotação, Cupania oblongifolia, Coffea arabica, Sessea brasiliensis, Croton floribundus e Guarea macrophylla. No componente sementes, as famílias com maior número de indivíduos foram Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae e Solanaceae, com 73,2%, e no componente brotação, Sapindaceae, Rubiaceae, Meliaceae, Fabaceae e Salicaceae, com 56,6%. O valor de similaridade florística entre os dois componentes foi baixo, próximo de 5%, indicando a existência de dois conjuntos florísticos diferentes. A estrutura das clareiras de origem antrópica apresentou diferenças em relação a clareiras naturais, com a predominância de espécies pioneiras em vez de outros grupos sucessionais. O tamanho das clareiras, o corte da vegetação pré-existente e a idade da regeneração provavelmente influenciaram a composição de espécies encontrada. No capítulo 4, foram verificadas as variações florísticas e estruturais de florestas em diferentes fases sucessionais em trecho do Parque Estadual da Cantareira, onde que há um conjunto de trabalhos realizados, permitindo uma primeira aproximação para a identificação de estágios sucessionais para as florestas do Parque Estadual da Cantareira e seu entorno, contribuindo para aplicação da Resolução CONAMA no 01/1994 nessa região
Abstract: Forests are composed of mosaics of patches in different succesional states. Forests are subject to direct or indirect anthropogenic actions, which cause change, degradation or removal. A series of man-made clearings was made in the Serra da Cantareira State Park, to allow the installation of the towers of the Guarulhos-Anhanguera electrical transmission line , in July 2006. The size of the clearings varied from 106 m2 to 286 m2, with a total area of 0.2 ha. These clearings were used to study the initial phases of succession in this forest type. The first chapter describes a floristic survey of the arboreal component of the region in the immediate vicinity of the new and old electrical transmission lines, with an extension above 11 km. A total of 178 species belonging to 54 families and 127 genera were identified in the floristic survey, with nine species considered threatened. The richest families were Fabaceae (19 species), Myrtaceae (18), Lauraceae (16) and Rubiaceae (15). The floristic similarity encountered with other forest remnants in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region and surrounding ares ranged from 12% to 38%. The second chapter describes the floristic composition of arboreal-shrubby vegetation in the man-made clearings created to install the transmission-line towers. Between January and May, 2010, 101 species, 32 famílies e 59 gênera were sampled. The richest families were Solanaceae (16 espécies), Asteraceae (14), Piperaceae (10), Melastomataceae (8) e Euphorbiaceae (7). In the third chapter, it was characterized the structure of arboreal-shrubby component in these clearings, between January and May 2010. All individuals taller than 1.30 m were sampled. Of the total individuals, 1336 (77.2%) originated from seeds, giving a total density of 6680 indivs/ha and absolute dominance of 6 m2/ha. The component arising from seed, had Croton macrobothrys, Piptocarpha macropoda, Trema micrantha, Solanum mauritianum and Sessea brasiliensis with the highest Importance Index Values while the budding component had Cupania oblongifolia, Coffea arabica, Sessea brasiliensis, Croton floribundus e Guarea macrophylla. The seed component had Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae and Solanaceae as the most numerous families (73,2% of the individuals) while in the budding component, another set of families - Sapindaceae, Rubiaceae, Meliaceae, Fabaceae and Salicaeae contained 56.6% of the individuals. The similarity between the two components was low (5%), indicating the presence of two distinct floristic groups. The man-made clearings showed some differences from natural clearings, with a predominance of pioneer species instead of other forms. Chapter 4, discusses the floristic and structural changes during the sucessional process in a region of Cantareira State Park. It is now possible to suggest a typical composition for the different phases of succession in the Cantareira State Park forests, based on the studies carried out up to the present, making it possible to apply CONAMA resolution 01/1994 with greater precision in this region and surrounding areas. Although this must still be regarded as preliminary, it should serve as a basis for more refined assessment of the successional process in these forests

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the question of how the Mongol imperium’s patronage in combination with Quanzhen Taoist proselytism inspired the mural paintings and architectural forms of the Yonglegong永樂宮. The Taoist temple of Yonglegong was constructed during the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) on the site of the former residence of the Taoist immortal L? Dongbin呂洞賓. During the period of the temple’s construction from 1244 to 1358, the Quanzhen 全真order, to which the Yonglegong was affiliated, thrived under the Mongol imperium. Previous scholarship has emphasized the Quanzhen order’s autonomous and exclusive role in the formation of Yonglegong. An analysis of the development of the Quanzhen from its establishment in late Jin dynasty (1115-1234) to its rise to prominence during the Yuan suggests that it received significant imperial supports and thus was not wholly autonomous. The Quanzhen order’s development was intertwined with and propounded by imperial patronage. The Yonglegong’s status as one the three holiest patriarch halls of the order ensured its centrality as a showpiece of the Mongol-Quanzhen collaboration.
This study explores the iconographic innovations of Chaoyuantu 朝元圖 (Paying homage to the Origins), a representation of the Taoist universe, a subject that existed in pre-Yuan art; and the Hagiography of L? Dongbin, a new category of Taoist imagery. These two mural painting programs show different modes of appropriation. In the Chaoyuantu, the Mongol imperium altered the scheme of depiction and inserted new iconography in order to register their claims over established traditions of representation. As for the depiction of L? Dongbin, prior to Yonglegong, the immortal was only represented in single scenes, not in a fully developed biographical narrative. The Hagiography of L? Dongbin represents arguably a new genre of narrative depiction that facilitated an alternative ideology. Such alterations are regarded in this thesis as evidence that illustrates the shared interests of the Mongol imperium and the Quanzhen order as they intersected.
In comparison with the mural paintings, the Yuan dynasty architectural structures’ significance has not been adequately recognized in earlier scholarship. This thesis reexamines the implications of the architectural features’ parameters and the unique alignment of structures in the Yonglegong. As such this study acknowledges the Yonglegong’s multiple identities as a complex that serves both the imperial and religious interests. It also evaluates the extent to which the architectural structures directed the organization and presentation of the mural paintings they housed.
Through the reclamation of Yongleong’s historical context, aligned as it was with a Mongol-Quanzhen collaboration, this study recognizes the larger significance of the temple complex. The Mongol imperium in combination with the Quanzhen order have given rise to a new formulation of Taoist mural paintings and architecture with new iconography, themes and modes of representation.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
The Department of Education is regarded as one the most important departments in
government structure. This Department prepares future generations for life and for the
future well-being of the country. Like any other department, the Department of
Education has a lot to offer to the community in the way of educational services.
These services are stipulated in the South African Constitution (SA, 1996). It is
therefore expected that the Department of Education will deliver quality educational
services to the community. The only way to reach this goal is if the Department has
the necessary resources and quality governance at its disposal.
Although the Government spends a lot on education, it is unfortunately a fact that
there is still a lack of service delivery on the side of school governance. School
governance is seen by many as the backbone of community involvement in the day to
day running of the school as well as direct participation in the education of their
children. School governance, although intended to deliver effective service to the
school and the community in particular, often has its negative side. This could be in
the form of interference from the part of the community in the management of the
school, or the creation of a low level of morale among teachers and some parents.
The Department of Education has introduced the new governing body system as
proposed by the South African Schools Act (Act 84 of 1996) after recommendation
by the Hunter Commission. The implementation of this system was not as easy as it
was thought to be, and created confusion amongst parents, teachers and school
governing body members. To establish what these problems exactly entail, a study
was conducted at Kediemetse Public School. For this study, it was important to have a
knowledge of:
• The attitudes of different school communities towards school governance;
• the satisfaction/dissatisfaction of different role players and their participation/
involvement in governance matters; and
• whether satisfactory arrangements exist to accommodate various role players/
school communities with regard to governance issues.
It is the intention of this study to determine these aspects at Kediemetse Public
School.Thesis (M.A. (Public Management and Administration))--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2001

Full textAbstract:
Som en följd av globaliseringen, har antalet aktörer inom den textila sektorn ökat drastiskt. På så vis har konkurrensen mellan företag hårdnat och varumärket har utvecklats till ett viktigt konkurrensmedel. Nyetablerade företag har numera svårt att skapa en långvarig position på marknaden. Med detta som grund utvecklades uppsatsens syfte att studera hur nyetablerade företag arbetar för att bygga ett starkt varumärke och en varumärkesidentitet. Studien har utgått från en kvalitativ metod där två fallföretag studerats. För att utvinna relevant information har semistrukturerade intervjuer genomförts.I den teoretiska referensramen beskrivs varumärkesplattformen av Frans Melin samt David Aakers modell för varumärkesidentitetens byggstenar. Dessutom behandlas Aakers fyra uppställda identitetsfällor. Våra fallföretag, Sail Racing och Cheap Monday, är båda nyetablerade på marknaden, därav lämpar de sig bra för vår studie. Intervjuer med fallföretagen har sammanställts i det empiriska kapitlet, för att tillsammans med teorin ligga till grund för analysen.I analysen jämförs företagens arbetssätt med teorins lagar och samband utvinns, det visade sig att Sail Racing följer många av våra behandlade teorier till punkt och pricka. Cheap Monday, däremot, går emot teorierna och bygger sitt varumärke fritt från lagar. Avslutningsvis mynnar uppsatsen ut i ett antal slutsatser som grundats i uppsatta frågeställningar. Sammantaget skiljer sig företagens syn på varumärket åt, då Sail Racing arbetar aktivt med sin identitet medan Cheap Monday har en mindre fokuserad syn på sina marknadsaktiviteter.Program: Textilekonomutbildningen

El complot mongol es una novela policiaca fundamental dentro de la narrativa mexicana del siglo XX; sin ella no podría entenderse la evolución del género policiaco en nuestro país. Sin embargo, no existe un análisis de cómo la novela se incrustó en género negro y por qué debe considerarse como la primera novela negra del país. Así pues, en nuestro artículo El complot mongol: la novela negra de México, tres pistas de lectura, consideramos tres puntos clave o pistas de lectura de acuerdo con las conceptualizaciones que Mempo Giardinelli menciona en su teoría del género negro.

Full textAbstract:
Les Enfances Garin de Monglane, chanson de geste liminaire du cycle de Guilaume d'Orange, en est également le poème le plus tardif. L'unique témoin connu à ce jour, le manuscrit Paris, B. N. , fr. 1460, présente de nombreuses leçons défectueuses. En conséquence, l'édition synoptique propose un texte rétabli en regard d'une transcription du manuscrit. La version corrigée n'est pas une reconstitution du texte originel ; elle tend à faciliter la lecture en offrant, dans la mesure du possible, une interprétation des passages obscurs. Les notes indiquent la nature des corrections et le sens de passages obscurs ; elles soulignent des particularités linguistiques et suggèrent des rapprochements avec d'autres oeuvres. Elles sont suivies d'une Table des noms propres et d'un glossaire. L'introduction vise d'une part à formuler clairement les principes d'établissement des deux textes et, d'autre part, à présenter tant les caractéristiques matérielles et linguistiques du témoin que la singularité littéraire du poème. Les recherches codicologiques suggèrent que le manuscrit a été exécuté dans la région de Lille à la fin du XVe siècle. Son histoire reste inconnue avant son entrée dans la Bibliothèque Personnelle de François Ier. L'analyse grammaticale montre que la langue de la copie est tardive et émaillée de picardismes. Ces données, associées à des considérations littéraires et historiques, permettent de formuler l'hypothèse que le texte a été composé dans l'entourage des ducs de Bourgogne vers 1410. Le poème est composé de 5078 alexandrins répartis en laisses monorimes terminées par un vers orphelin. Le texte associe les caractéristiques d'une chanson tardive et d'un récit d'enfances. Les renvois à des oeuvres célèbres et l'intégration du thème de l'épouse persécutée au Cycle de Guillaume montrent que le poème se présente comme un renouvellement des aventures des Aymerides, visant au succès de l'oeuvreLes Enfances Garin de Monglane, introductory Chanson de Geste in the Guillaume d'Orange Cycle, is also the latest poem. The sole manuscript known as of today, Paris B. N. , fr. 1460, shows numerous mistakes. Hence, the synoptic edition offers a corrected version faincg a transcription from the manuscript. This correction is not a reconstruction from the original text, it should be used to help the reader by giving - when possible - some interpretation of the most difficult sentences. The notes give clues as to the nature of the corrections and the meaning of some verses ; they underline the linguistic peculiarities and suggest some links with other texts. They are followed by a table of last names and by a glossary. The introduction serves a double purpose : clearly establishing the rules of presentation for the two texts and showing the material and linguistic characterisitics of the manuscript and the literary singularity of the poem. The manuscript has been realised in the Lille region at the end of the XVth century. The history of the manuscript before its being part of François the Firt's Personal Library rests unknown. The grammatical analysis shows that the language of the copy is late and tainted with picard features. This data, associated with literary and historical considerations, suggests that the text has been created in the circle of the Dukes of Burgundy, around 1410. The poems counts 5078 alexandrines, distributed in monorhyme laisses, ending by orphan verses. The story mixes the characteristics of a late Chanson de Geste and the structure of Enfances. The numerous quotes of famous texts and the integration of the persecuted wife theme in the Guillaume Cycle show that the poem is a renewal of these adventures, aiming towards the success of the story
