Lemoine, Marie-Laure. "Senes ridiculi ? Politique et poétique chez Plaute." Thesis, Paris 4, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA040236.
Full textAbstract:
Genus claudicans ou genre de 'travers', la comédie plautinienne est à la fois dérivé négatif ou forme inversée des grands genres et le lieu d'une actualité politique voilée qui lui donnent, ensemble, toute sa spécificité. Inscrite, sans discussion, dans une tradition gréco-hellénistique héritée, elle est l'objet de choix personnels et d'une originalité créatrice chargée d'intentions. Plus exactement, l'interprétation et l'adaptation des modèles induisent des moments de réflexion critique sur le rapport de l'oeuvre avec le pouvoir. Politique et poétique sont donc au centre d'une réécriture auctoriale où le senex ridiculus a aussi sa place. Dans sa lecture des sources et du monde, Plaute privilégie donc les laissés pour compte, notamment une figure parentale déviante, le vieillard souvent lubrique, capable de susciter, non seulement une satire critique, mais aussi une lecture politique en texte caché. A la polémique diffamante de son ami Naeuius, il substitue la dénonciation d'un défaut reconnu selon les règles du blâme épidictique. Mieux encore, il use d'une 'manière' cynique et d'une plaisanterie urbaine et raffinée, le lepos, qui sont les fondements mêmes d'un art poétique. Celui-ci est complété par une traversée et un mélange des genres où Aristophane et Naeuius apparaissent. Au total, parce qu'elle amuse et réclame un spectateur intelligent et perspicace, qui comprend les sens cachés, la comédie plautinienne est un théâtre complexe et intellectuel en réception spectaculaireGenus claudicans or 'lame' genre, Plautus' comedy bears both the inverted form or negative image of predominant genres and topical political hints which together provide its genuineness. Undisputedly embedded in the Greco-hellenistic heritage, it becomes the subject of personal choices and a creative originality laden with intention. More accurately, the interpretation and adaptation of the models induce moments of critical thinking toward the link between the work of art and power. Politics and poetic art thus lay at the core of authorial rewriting in which the senex ridiculus is awarded pride of place. Throughout his study of sources and the world, Plautus sides with the left-behinds, among others the deviant father figure of a more than often lustful old man, who has a knack into initiating not only scathing satire, but also political insight woven inside the text. Contrary to his friend Naevius' prone inclination to tackle bones of contention, he levels veiled accusations against well-known faults according to the rules of epidictic blame. Better still, he uses the lepos, urbane and refined puns, albeit in a 'cynical' way, as the very basis for poetic art. The latter being supplemented by a crossing and blending of genres out of which Aristophanes and Naeuius emerge.All in all, because it amuses and calls for an acute and discerning audience, in full awareness of hidden meanings, Plautine comedy is manifold and intellectual, it's theater given spectacular reception

Full textAbstract:
A espécie Drosophila antoneitae é cactófila, ovipositando principalmente no cacto hospedeiro Cereus hildmaniannus. Ambas as espécies são encontradas em solos drenados ou afloramentos de rocha na região de Missiones, um dos núcleos de Floresta Tropical Sazonalmente Seca (FTSS), e no litoral sul-brasileiro. O núcleo de Missiones compreende a base dos rios Paraná-Paraguai e é uma possível área de estabilidade climática durante as oscilações do Quaternário. Para avaliar a distribuição atual da diversidade genética de D. antonietae e sua associação com alterações na paisagem, foram realizadas as seguintes análises: estruturação populacional, estabelecimento de hipóteses filogeográficas e de eventos demográficos, testes de neutralidade e modelagem de nicho atual e paleoecológico. O gene mitocondrial COI e nuclear period foram analisados. O gene period é pouco variável e a distribuição da variabilidade genética é homogênea. O gene COI é bastante polimórfico e há estruturação entre as populações formando três agrupamentos: um em Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul, outro no Paraná e São Paulo e o terceiro no centro-oeste brasileiro. A população do centro-oeste brasileiro provavelmente é a mais antiga, coincidente com a área do estudo mais estável climaticamente. Este agrupamento forma uma rede de haplótipos separada, devido alta estruturação e isolamento, provavelmente tendo no rio Paraná uma importante barreira de fluxo gênico. Sugere-se que o provável centro de dispersão das demais populações de D. antonietae se localiza no sudeste brasileiro, e que houve diversos eventos de migração para as demais regiões de sua distribuição. Há indícios de polimorfismo compartilhado devido à recente diversificação das populações. Ambos os agrupamentos genéticos exibem sinais de expansão populacional, especialmente nas áreas de borda no núcleo de Missiones, onde o clima parece ter sido menos estável. O período de expansão demográfica é recente e coincidente com a maior extensão da vegetação seca, que também pode ter papel fundamental na estruturação das populações.Drosophila antoneitae is a cactophilic species, ovipositing primarily in the host cacti Cereus hildmaniannus. Both species are found in drained soils or rocky outcrops in the Missiones region - one of the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (SDTF) nucleis, and in south Brazilian coast. The Missiones nuclei comprises the basin of the Paraná-Paraguai Rivers and it is a possible area of climatic stability during the Quaternary oscillations. To evaluate the current distribution of the genetic diversity of D. antoneitae and its association with landscape modifications, the following analyses were performed: populational structure, establishment of phylogeographic hypotheses and demographic events, neutrality tests and paleoecological niche modeling. The mitochondrial gene COI and the nuclear gene period were analyzed. The gene period had low genetic diversity and an homogeneity on the distribution of genetic variability. For gene COI analysis we found a high polymorphism and genetic structure among populations, forming three groups: one in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, another in Paraná and São Paulo and the third in the midwestern Brazil. The midwestern population is probably the oldest one, coinciding with the most climatically stable area of this study. This group forms a network of separate haplotypes, due to a high structuring and isolation, probably with Paraná River acting as major barrier for gene flow. We suggest that the possible center of dispersion of the remaining populations of D. antonietae is located in southeastern Brazil, and there were several migration events to other regions of its distribution. There is evidence of shared polymorphism due to recent diversification of populations. Both gene clusters exhibit signs of population expansion, especially in border areas at the Missiones nuclei, where the climate seems less stable. The demographic expansion period is recent and coincides with the major expansion of dry vegetation, which can also play a critical role in structuring populations.

Cubbin, Tom. "Critical Soviet design : Senezh studio and the utopian imagination in late socialism." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/15881/.
Full textAbstract:
This is the first academic study of the socialist critical design practice known as artistic projecteering [khudozhestvennoe proektirovanie], developed at the Central Experimental Studio of the Soviet Union Artists between 1964 and 1991 (commonly referred to as Senezh studio). While some Soviet designers saw their practice as ‘applied science,’ Senezh studio was established to develop practical and theoretical tools for overcoming technocratic tendencies in Soviet design. The aim of the studio’s founders was to create a space for design that would not be subsumed by the constraints of technology or economics, or the bureaucracy of Soviet central planning. Senezh studio was tasked with creating new design methodologies that could be applied following the transition to communism to produce a material environment that would maximise the creative and collaborative potential of humankind. During the 1970s, however, the failures of the Soviet Thaw became apparent and designers at the studio worked on critical projects that highlighted how the government’s treatment of citizens, urban heritage and the environment were materially manifest in daily life. The projects produced at Senezh came to reflect the aspirations, hopes and anxieties of the Soviet cultural intelligentsia during and after the ‘Thaw’ of the 1960s. Based on archival research, extensive interviews and analysis of images in private collections – this dissertation engages Mannheim and Ricoeur’s theories of utopia to show how experimental design projects reflected changing relationships towards communism, ideology, history and the state.

Full textAbstract:
Social Science scholars study how the New Left - the wave of leftist governments in Latin America since 1999 - redefines leftism in the Post-Cold War. Part of this redefinition is a new social pact between the Queer community and those Latin American governments. Chapter 1 traces the ideological itinerary of this new social agreement and establishes the methodology of the study. El lobo, el bosque y el hombre nuevo (The Wolf, the Forest and the New Man) by Senel Paz reformulated the relationship between the dissident subjects of the patriarchy and the leftist state in Cuban society of the 1990s. Chapter 2 highlights Paz's text for its separation from the Cold War narratives centered on the leftist armed insurgent movements. Chapter 3 studies how the film adaptation of Paz's work globalized the argument and structured it within the Post-Cold War. Chapter 4 analyzes the theatrical adaptations of Paz's work made in Latin American countries after 1999. Two are compared from countries with New Latin American Leftist governments, Venezuela and Argentina, with others made in non-Latin American countries, the United States and Spain. The critical reception of the two theatrical adaptations done in Latin America showed the argument as part of their reality, in contrast to the representations made in the United States and Spain. Chapter 5 analyzes the repercussions of Paz's text in popular culture through the reggaeton "Fresa y chocolate."

This dissertation aims at investigating the manifestations of imaginary in marketing communication processes. Specifically, it seeks to ascertain how the images of the eternal child and the wise old man (Puer and Senex) are presented in the media discourse. Relations were established between these images and communication processes associated with the creation and development of brands. For discussion of the images of Puer and Senex we reviewed the studies developed by Jung, von Franz and Hillman. The corpus consists of three advertising campaigns for companies of different fields, whose brands are recognized in the media discourse and the global imaginary: (1) Chanel; (2) Ray-Ban; and (3) Apple. The theoretical basis interweaves concepts from various areas of knowledge, particularly of media studies (Jenkins); communication, culture, image, imaginary (Durand, Maffesoli and Leão); creation processes in the media (Salles and Leão); advertising (Carrascoza and Covaleski); and analytical and archetypal psychology (Jung, von Franz and Hillman). To achieve the proposed objectives, the research is organized in three steps: (1) literature review; (2) implementation of three case studies (descriptive, interpretive and relational); and (3) analysis and interpretation of the corpus according to the creation method proposed by Leão. Analyzes have identified the presence of Puer and Senex as constituent elements of the marketing discourse and noted the importance of the imaginary media in the construction of brand identity

O corpus engloba três campanhas publicitárias de empresas de diferentes campos de atuação, cujas marcas são reconhecidas nos discursos midiáticos e no imaginário global: (1) Chanel; (2) Ray-Ban; e (3) Apple. A base teórica entretece conceitos de várias áreas do conhecimento, especialmente dos estudos de mídia (Jenkins); comunicação, cultura, imagem, imaginário (Durand, Maffesoli e Leão); processos de criação nas mídias (Salles e Leão); publicidade (Carrascoza e Covaleski); e psicologia analítica e arquetípica (Jung, Von Franz e Hillman). Para atingir os objetivos propostos, a pesquisa está organizada em três etapas: (1) revisão bibliográfica; (2) realização de três estudos de caso (estudo descritivo, relacional e interpretativo); e (3) análise e interpretação do corpus segundo o método de criação proposto por Leão. As análises permitiram identificar a presença do Puer e Senex como elementos constituintes do discurso mercadológico e constatou-se a importância do imaginário midiático na construção da identidade da marca

In the final book of the Georgics, Virgil digresses into a nostalgic and regretful explanation of his inability to include a proper discussion of gardening because he is spatiis exclusus iniquis (147). Often deemed “the skeleton of a fifth book of the Georgics” the exact meaning and intent behind this passage is still largely contested. In this paper I will attempt to de-strange this passage by examining it philosophically and allegorically, particularly by means of numerical symbolism.

Full textAbstract:
The Identification of the novel gene SENEX and its role in Endothelial Cell Senescence and Survival Cellular senescence was originally described as a mechanism to inhibit the growth of mammalians cells after oncogenic activation, in response to damage or following stress. Senescence is a permanent halt in the cell cycle and causes major alterations in the genetic profile of the cell. Recent research has demonstrated a significant role for senescence in human pathologies, such as tumour development and cardiovascular disease. We describe here the identification of a novel gene, which we have called SENEX, that regulates stress induced premature senescence pathways in endothelial cells (EC) involving p16INK4a and Rb activation. Endogenous levels of SENEX remain unchanged during replicative senescence but are upregulated by H2O2 mediated stress. In contrast to that previously described for senescence in other cell types, the SENEX induced senescent EC are profoundly anti-inflammatory. The cells are resistant to TNFα induced adhesion of neutrophils and mononuclear cells and the surface expression of E-selectin and VCAM1 is decreased in SENEX induced senescent cells. SENEX is also essential for EC survival since depletion by siRNA causes apoptosis. Together, these findings expand our understanding of the role of senescence in the vasculature and identifies SENEX as a fulcrum for driving the resultant phenotype of the endothelium.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l’oralité orungu et notamment sur le conte. Elle est axée sur les performances d’un conteur, Brice Senah Ambenga, dans deux situations de communication différentes. En prenant comme point de départ la performance comme critère définitoire, elle analyse les contes en oralité première, en l’occurrence dans la veillée, la palabre de mariage et de deuil, l’initiation au Bwiti, mais également en néo-oralité, à savoir à la radio et lors de sa mise en spectacle. L’observation du même énonciateur aboutit au questionnement novateur suivant : la situation de communication a-t-elle des incidences sur la performance, la langue et les textes ? Cette problématique est analysée en neuf chapitres.Le premier présente la société à laquelle le conteur appartient et comprend un aperçu de son histoire et de son organisation sociopolitique.Dans le second chapitre, il est question du cadre théorique dans lequel se situe l’analyse, appuyée sur les notions d’oralité, de littérature orale et de performance. Par ailleurs, une interrogation sur la notion de "parole" et de "genres littéraires orungu" est proposée.Le troisième chapitre présente le conteur, son répertoire et les situations de communication déclinées en plusieurs circonstances.Les chapitres quatre à huit analysent les performances de ce conteur. Il s’agit de contextualiser et de décrire chaque performance i.e. situation d’énonciation, ainsi que les contes qui y sont énoncés, de manière à isoler leurs caractéristiques.Enfin, le dernier chapitre compare les caractéristiques des performances en oralité première et en néo-oralité.L’analyse s’appuie sur le corpus des contes transcrits et traduits dans le volume 2This thesis focuses on the orungu orality, in particular the orungu tale. It is centred on the performance of a storyteller, Brice Senah Ambenga, in two different communication situations. Taking performance as a defining criterion for a starting point, the study analyses tales in the traditional orality, in this case, during the wake, the marriage and mourning palaver, the initiation into Bwiti, but also in neo-orality, on the radio and when being staged. The observation of the same enunciator leads to the following innovative question: Does communication situation have any effect on the performance, the language and the texts? The question is analysed in nine chapters.The first chapter presents the storyteller’s society and that includes an overview of his story and the sociopolitical organization of his society.The second chapter is about the theoretical framework in which the analysis is based, supported by the notions of orality, oral literature and performance. Furthermore, a question on the notion of "speech" and "orungu literary genre" is proposed.The third chapter presents the storyteller, his repertoire and communication situations construed in many different circumstances.Chapters four to eight analyse the performances of this storyteller. It is about contextualizing and describing each performance, i.e., the enunciation situation, as well as the tales enunciated therein, so as to isolate their characteristics.Lastly, the last chapter compares performance characteristics of traditional orality and neo-orality.The analysis is based on the corpus of tales transcribed and translated in Volume 2

Full textAbstract:
Climate change has been a subject of numerous studies. While findings suggest that most biological taxa will be affected by its manifestations, aspects of a species life history may increase its susceptibility to climate change. Given their reliance on environmental sources of heat to incubate their eggs, I examined the vulnerability to climate change of the avian family Megapodiidae. I also assessed habitat use, susceptibility to sea level rise, and the effect of introduced rats and tourist presence, as added stressors to climate change, on the Micronesian Megapode (Megapodius
laperouse senex) in Palau.
Based on available literature, I employed a trait-based assessment to investigate the vulnerability of 21 species of megapodes to climate change. All species were predicted to experience at least a 2°C increase in mean annual temperature, 12 may experience a moderate or greater fluctuation in rainfall, and 16 would be exposed to rising seas. While the most vulnerable megapodes are intrinsically rare and range restricted, mound nesting species may be more resilient to climate change than others.
I examined breeding and foraging habitat use by the mound nesting megapode in the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon Conservation Area (RISL), where it almost exclusively uses low-lying littoral strand habitat for breeding. Megapodes preferentially selected sites that were 1) relatively close to shore, 2) contained large trees, and 3) exhibited greater canopy heights than the surrounding forest. The subspecies foraged in a non-preferential manner and used all littoral habitat with no apparent influence of dominant plant species composition.
Using GIS and the latest spatial data, I modelled the effect of three currently
accepted scenarios (0.52 m, 0.98 m, and 1.9 m) of sea level rise on their known breeding habitat. The RISL is comprised of 3,857.5 ha of forested cover of which megapodes used 120.8 ha (3.1%) for breeding, with an additional 25.3 ha potentially available to them. Megapodes may lose at least 32.5% to 43.3% of known breeding habitat and 25.7% to 31.3% of potential habitat to inundation, respectively.
Using passive chew-tag and call playback surveys, I examined whether introduced rats and tourist presence may negatively affect megapodes in the RISL. Rat detection probability and site occupancy were significantly higher on tourist visited iv (89% and 99%, respectively) compared to tourist-free islands (52% and 73%). I detected significantly more megapodes at stations on tourist-free islands (93%) than tourist visited (47%), but relative abundance was not significantly different between island types. My findings suggested no significant relationship between rats and megapodes, a negative relationship between tourist presence and megapodes, and augmentation of rat populations by tourist presence.
I compared the ecology of, and IUCN listed threats for, Micronesian Megapodes in Palau with those in the Mariana Islands. I proposed both the inclusion of an additional climate change related threat based on my sea level rise modelling, and new ranking of all IUCN threats by subspecies. Lastly, I proposed research and data acquisition priorities necessary to fill current gaps in the knowledge of megapodes in Palau and facilitate its long-term conservation.

O método de influência local proposto por Cook (1986) é uma importante ferramenta na análise da influência conjunta das observações nos resultados de um ajuste de regressão. Esta técnica tem como objetivo principal avaliar mudanças nos resultados da análise quando pequenas perturbações são incorporadas ao modelo e/ou aos dados. Se essas perturbações causarem efeitos desproporcionais nas estimativas, pode ser indí io de que o modelo está mal ajustado ou que possam existir afastamentos sérios das suposições feitas para o mesmo. Apesar do método baseado na curvatura normal proposto por Cook (1986) ser de grande utilidade, este possui alguns in convenientes. Por exemplo, a curvatura normal pode tomar qualquer valor real e não é invariante sob uma mudança uniforme de escala. Neste trabalho, estudamos a influência local conforme, proposto por Poon & Poon (1999) em modelos de regressão, que tem como objetivo contornar estes inconvenientes. Mais especificamente, aplicamos esta técnica de diagnóstico para os modelos de regressão log-Birnbaum-Saunders e derivamos as matrizes apropriadas para obter a influência local nos parâmetros estimados de um modelo mais geral, o modelo de regressão senh-normal. Finalmente, ilustramos a teoria desenvolvida em conjuntos de dados reais.
The method of local influence proposed by Cook (1986) is an important tool in the analysis of the joint influence of the observations in the results of a regression fit. This technique has as main goal to evaluate hanges in the results of the analysis when small perturbations are incorporated the model and/or to the data. If these perturbations would cause non proportion effect it can be indication of that the model is badly fitted or that possible departures from the assunptions made for this model an exist. Although the method based on normal curvature proposed by Cook (1986) has been demonstrated to be very useful, this possesses some issues. For example, the normal curvature may take any value and it is not invariant under a uniform hange of scale. In this work, we study the conformal local influence, proposed by Poon & Poon (1999) in regression models, that has as objective to address these issues. More specifically , we apply this technique of diagnostic for log-Birnbaum-Saunders regression models and we derive matrices appropriate to obtain the conformal local influence in the estimated parameters of a more general model, the senh-normal regression model. Finally, we consider empiritical examples with real data to illustrate the theory developed.

Se realizaron estudios de simulación para evaluar las propiedades de las estimaciones. Los
resultados muestran que el modelo estima de manera satisfactoria los parámetros, más aún,

Benjamin is both adamant and explicit in his critique of fashion’s alienating influence on the collective, but despite this he seems at times to ascribe to it some kind of revolutionary potential. The most well-known instance of this is the 14th thesis of “Theses on the Concept of History”. There, Benjamin compares the ”tiger’s leap” of sartorial citation to the historical leap of the Marxist revolution. Employing Benjamin’s philosophy of history as a theoretical framework, this thesis examines the roles ascribed to fashion in The Arcades Project, in order to elaborate on its political potential in Benjamin’s late thinking, as well as to understand this potential in light of Benjamin’s critique of fashion as fetishism and phantasmagoria.

Atualmente, há uma crescente demanda pela disponibilidade de produtos fitoterápicos, para atender tanto o mercado privado quanto a inserção destes produtos no Sistema Único de Saúde. Para a indústria de medicamentos envolvida com a fabricação de fitoterápicos em escala, a estratégia de produção está hoje delineada pela utilização de extratos secos padronizados de espécies medicinais, sob a forma de cápsulas. As cápsulas duras comerciais mais disseminadas são elaboradas a partir de gelatina, que apresentam uma grande limitação de sua eficiência quando o material a ser encapsulado tem características higroscópicas, pois a gelatina é reconhecida por formar ligações cruzadas em condições de alta umidade e temperatura. Este fato tem sido um fator limitante para a indústria farmacêutica, especialmente no que tange à veiculação de extratos vegetais secos, desde que muitos fitoterápicos constituem pós extremamente higroscópicos, o que em última análise compromete a estabilidade do medicamento fitoterápico. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência de cápsulas de hipromelose e de gelatina contendo extrato padronizado comercial de Sene (Cassia angustifolia Vahl). As cápsulas de ambos os tipos foram submetidas ao estresse térmico acelerado a 35 graus Celsius (ºC) e 65% de umidade relativa (UR) e a 40ºC/75%U.R. por 6 meses. As medidas comparativas de estabilidade consistiram nas avaliações de (i) perda por dessecação, (ii) desintegração, (iii) suscetibilidade à quebra, (iv) atividade de água, (v) contaminação microbiana, e (vi) análise dos derivados hidroxiantracênicos e dos senosídeos A e B. Os testes físico-químicos foram realizados de acordo com os métodos farmacopeicos em vigor, e a comparação dos conteúdos químicos foi avaliada quantitativamente por Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência (CLAE), utilizando como marcadores os senosídeos A e B comerciais, cujas presenças nos extratos foram corroboradas com a CLAE acoplada à espectrometria de massas. Os resultados obtidos na caracterização física demonstraram que as cápsulas de hipromelose apresentaram maior estabilidade em todos os parâmetros estudados, quando comparadas as de gelatina. Os resultados da análise química apontaram uma queda maior no teor de senosídeo B para as cápsulas de gelatina em relação às de hipromelose: 0,021% e 0,022%, 30ºC/65%UR e 0,02% e 0,017% 40ºC/75% UR, respectivamente. Estes resultados demonstram preliminarmente que há vantagens no uso da cápsula hipromelose em relação à de gelatina para encapsular o extrato seco de Sene, em um estudo de estabilidade acelerada, no entanto outras avaliações serão necessárias, incluindo um estudo de estabilidade completo no produto.
Currently there is a growing demand for the availability of herbal products to meet both the private market and the inclusion of these products in the Unified Health System. For the pharmaceutical industry involved in the manufacture of herbal medicines in scale, the production strategy is outlined today by the use of standardized dry extracts of medicinal species in the form of capsules. The most widespread commercial hard capsules are made from gelatin, which present a major limitation of its efficiency when the material to be encapsulated has hygroscopic characteristics, because the gelatin is known to form cross-linking under conditions of high humidity and temperature. This has been a limiting factor for the pharmaceutical industry, especially in regard to the placement of dry plant extracts, since many herbal powders are highly hygroscopic, which ultimately compromises the stability of herbal medicine. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of capsules of hypromellose and gelatin containing commercially standardized Senna dry extract (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.). The capsules of both types were subjected to accelerated heat stress at 35 Celsius degrees (°C) / 65% relative humidity (RH) and at 40ºC / 75%RH for 6 months. The comparative measures of stability in the evaluations consisted of (i) loss on drying, (ii) disintegration, (iii) susceptibility to breakage, (iv) water activity, (v) microbial contamination, and (vi) analysis of hydroxyanthracene derivatives and senosídes A and B. The physicochemical tests were performed according to the pharmacopoeial methods in place, and the comparison of chemical content was assessed quantitatively by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), using commercial senosídeos A and B as chemical markers, whose presence in the extracts were corroborated by HPLC coupled with mass spectrometry. The results of the physical characterization of the capsules showed that hypromellose capsules showed a higher stability in all these parameters, when compared with gelatin. The chemical analysis results showed a greater decrease in the concentration of senoside B for gelatin compared to hypromellose capsules: 0.021% and 0.022%, 30 ºC/65% R.H. and 0.02% and 0.017% 40 ºC/75% R.H., respectively. These preliminary results show that there are advantages in the use of hypromellose capsule in relation to the gelatin to encapsulate the Senna dry extract in an accelerated stability study, but further evaluation will be needed, including a complete study of stability in the product.

This dissertation researches the uses of plants among the African, Luso-african and Portuguese populations in the region called "Guinean of Cape Verde" and the social, religious, commercial and political relations involved in these processes, from the XVth to the XVIIth centuries. We studied the works of Andr? Alvares de Almada, the "Tratado Breve dos Rios da Guin? do Cabe Verde, d?s do Rio de Sanag? at? os baixos de Santa Ana de todas as na??es de negros que h? na dita costa e de seus costumes, armas, trajos, juramentos, guerras? of 1594, as the principal historiographical source, and also the works of Andr? Donelha, " Descri??o da Serra Leoa e dos Rios de guin? do cabo verde?, 1625 and Francisco Lemos Coelho, ?Descri??o da costa da Guine desde o Cabo Verde athe Serra Lioa com todas as ilhas e rios que os brancos navegam?, of 1669; e ?Discrip??o da Costa de Guin?, e situa??o de todos os portos e rios della, e roteyro para se poderem navegar todos seus rios?, of 1684. The concept "Guinea of Cape Verde" acquired official character for the Portuguese Kingdom and defined the region of the Atlantic African coast between the Senegal river and the south of present-day Sierra Leone on the border of Guine Conakry. The work presents the historical context of the sources, participant in the specific Guinea of Cape Verde?s commercial and cultural relations. As the human being is considered an active agent and a subject of the nature, we argued that the exchanges, appropriations and circulation of knowledge related to the flora are multilateral. It was analyzed how the plants take part in the commercial, productive and environmental relations of the region and the way in which the authors present their uses and specificities, using examples such as rice, kola nut and cotton. Lastly, we seek to understand how the flora partakes of social, political and religious relations in the region, and how this knowledge circulates among African, Portuguese-African and Portuguese diverse populations, generating new ways of interpreting the natural world.
O presente trabalho busca compreender os diversos usos de plantas entre as popula??es africanas, luso-africanas e portuguesas na regi?o denominada ?Guin? do Cabo Verde?, no per?odo do s?culo XV ao XVII. Para a pesquisa analisou-se a obras de Andr? Alvares de Almada, o ?Tratado Breve dos Rios da Guin? do Cabe Verde, d?s do Rio de Sanag? at? os baixos de Santa Ana de todas as na??es de negros que h? na dita costa e de seus costumes, armas, trajos, juramentos, guerras? de 1594, como fonte historiogr?fica principal e tamb?m as obras de Andr? Donelha, ?Descri??o da Serra Leoa e dos Rios de guin? do cabo verde?, de 1625 e de Francisco Lemos Coelho, ?Descri??o da costa da Guine desde o Cabo Verde athe Serra Lioa com todas as ilhas e rios que os brancos navegam?, de 1669; e ?Discrip??o da Costa de Guin?, e situa??o de todos os portos e rios della, e roteyro para se poderem navegar todos seus rios?, de 1684. O conceito ?Guin? do Cabo Verde? assumiu car?ter oficial para a Coroa portuguesa e definia a regi?o da costa atl?ntica africana que fica entre o rio Senegal e o sul da atual Serra Leoa em fronteira com a Guin? Conacri. Apresenta-se o contexto hist?rico das fontes utilizadas, participante das rela??es comerciais e culturais espec?ficas de ?Guin? do Cabo Verde?. Percebe-se o ser humano como agente ativo e sujeito da natureza e defende-se que as trocas, apropria??es e circula??o dos conhecimentos relacionado a flora tem fluidez multilateral. Analisou-se como as plantas participam das rela??es comercias, produtivas e ambientais da regi?o e a forma com que os autores apresentam seus usos e especificidades, utilizando exemplos como o arroz, a noz de cola e o algod?o. E por fim busca-se compreender o quando a flora participa das rela??es sociais, pol?ticas e religiosas na regi?o e como estes conhecimentos circulam entre as diversas popula??es africanas, luso-africanas e portuguesas, gerando novas formas de interpretar o mundo natural.

Syfte: Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka utvecklingen av sinnesmarknadsföring genom att ta reda på hur det används av företag inom dagligvarubranschen. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi. Fem intervjuer och tio observationer utfördes som metod i undersökningen. Intervjuerna utfördes på fem anställda på olika dagligvarubutiker i Solna, och samma butiker observerades under två tillfällen. Urvalet valdes utifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval. Slutsatser: Sinnesmarknadsföring är ett relativt okänt begrepp. Synen är människans största sinne och därför riktas marknadsföringen främst mot visuella uttryck. I den här undersökningen har det visat sig att lukten är ett lika viktigt sinne, eftersom att dofter har förmågan att väcka minnen och även stimulera de övriga sinnena. ICA Maxi var den enda butik av samtliga undersökta, som skapade en multisensorisk varumärkesupplevelse där alla sinnen samarbetade.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine Sensory marketing by finding out how it is used by companies in the retail industry. Method: The study has a qualitative research strategy. Five interviews and ten observations were carried out as method for the research. The interviews were conducted with five employee at various grocery stores in Solna, the stores were also observed during two occasions. They were selected based on a convenience sample. Conclusion: Sensory marketing is a relatively unknown term. The sight is our biggest sense, therefore are marketers primarily targeting visual expressions. This study has shown that the smell is an important sense, because its ability to evoke memories and stimulate the other senses as well. ICA Maxi was the only store of all investigated who had created a multisensory brand experience where all senses cooperated.

Abstract Chronic, non-healing wounds constitute a massive financial burden on health care system. The healing processes of these wounds and their underlying pathology are only partly understood. In this study, important biological functions performed by Retinoic acid with its regulatory protein cellular retinoic acid binding protein 2 (CRABP2) were discussed. Possibly, these biological func-tions might be linked with chronic wound therapeutic by inducing antiproliferative activity of cells which leads to reduction in migration and growth rate of fibroblast during skin regeneration pro-cess in chronic wound healing. The aim of this study was to comparatively analyze the expression pattern of CRABP2 and P16 cyclic dependent kinase inhibitor in dermal fibroblasts at mRNA levels along with their morphological pattern, migration and growth rate. Fibroblasts were cultured and their morphology were observed by phase-contrast imaging. Difference in viability, migratory capacity was examined by Cell titer blue and scratch assay respectively and expression were meas-ured by polymerase chain reaction. Interestingly, the date revealed that morphology was altered and growth rate and migration velocity was significantly lower in chronic wound fibroblasts and senescent fibroblasts when compared with their control. Expression pattern revealed that CRABP2 was highly up-regulated only by senescent cells but not in chronic wound fibroblasts which point novel function for this protein in term of replicative senescence. However, P16 was not signifi-cantly altered among all fibroblasts which demands supplementary studies to conform the role of CRABP2 in fibroblast dysfunction and cellular senescence in chronic wounds.

The utilization of natural elements of the earth to remedy corporeal maladies dates back to the medical systems of ancient Nile Valley culture. Given the continuity and intergenerational transmission of knowledge evident in African expressions of culture, these olden naturalistic health techniques, throughout time, have continuously been used as therapeutic modalities by posterior African cultures—both continental and Diasporic. Due to its tripartite approach to healing—of mind, body and spirit— this age-old African healing tradition has gained popularity in contemporary times and is commonly known today as the locution: holistic health. The principal objective of this intellectual project is to reveal an unbroken genealogy of a thriving Africana holistic health tradition upheld by both advocates and practitioners in the field. Notwithstanding the current state of health of Africans residing in the United States, the praxis of these ancient healing customs is extant within communities which the population is predominately African. Through considering the publication of How to Eat to Live in 1967, this study articulates a resurgence among contemporary African healers of an olden healing tradition once customary on the banks of the Nile. The proposed outlook of this work to highlight the various means of alternative health available by and for African descendants that ultimately serves as a catalyst to take matters of health into our own hands.

A distribuição Birnbaum-Saunders surgiu em 1969 com aplicações fortemente ligadas à engenharia e se expandiu nas últimas décadas a diversas áreas. Na literatura, além de tomar um papel de destaque na análise de sobrevivência, podemos destacar o surgimento de várias generalizações. Neste trabalho apresentaremos uma dessas generalizações, a qual foi formulada por Mentainis em 2010. Primeiramente, faremos uma breve explanação sobre a distribuição Birnbaum-Saunders cl´assica e sobre a generaliza¸c˜ao que foi proposta por Mentainis (2010), a qual chamaremos de distribuição Birnbaum-Saunders generalizada. Em seguida, discorreremos sobre a distribuição senh-normal, a qual possui uma importante relação com a distribuição Birnbaum-Saunders. Numa outra etapa, apresentaremos alguns métodos de diagnóstico para o modelo de regressão log-Birnbaum-Saunders generalizado e investigaremos testes de homogeneidade para os correspondentes parˆametros de forma e escala. Por fim, analisamos um conjunto de dados para ilustrar a teoria desenvolvida.
The Birnbaum-Saunders distribution emerged in 1969 motivated by problems in engineering. However, its field of application has been extended beyond the original context of material fatigue and reliability analysis. In the literature, it has made an important role in survival analysis. Moreover, many generalizations of it have been considered. In this work we present one of these generalizations, which was formulated by Mentainis in 2010. First, we provide a brief explanation of the classical Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and its generalization proposed by Mentainis (2010), which we name as the generalized Birnbaum-Saunders distribution. Thereafter, we discuss the sinh-normal distribution, which has an important relationship with the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution. In a further part of this work, we present some diagnostic methods for generalized log-Birnbaum-Saunders regression models and investigate tests of homogeneity for the corresponding shape and scale parameters. Finally, an application with real data is presented.

Detta examensarbete har genomförts vid Mälarenergi Elnät AB i Västerås. Undersökningen föranleddes av regeringsbeslutet om att elmätare måste avläsas en gång per månad från 2009. Konsekvensen för Mälarenergi är att de måste investera i ett automatiskt mätinsamlingssystem. Syftet med projektet har varit att skapa en generell investeringsmodell för att ekonomiskt utvärdera ett antal mätinsamlingssystem. I rapporten har Milabs, Seneas, Enermets, HM Powers, Iprobes samt Techems och Viterras system analyserats. Resultaten från investeringskalkylen visar att Mälarenergi kommer att göra en förlust på 5-8 MSEK/år under hela projektets livslängd (15 år). Den största delen av investeringen utgörs av hårdvarukostnader (50 %), medan drift- och underhållskostnader samt logistikkostnader utgör 20 % respektive 25 %. Mälarenergi Elnät bör budgetera 1 500-1 950 SEK/mätpunkt för projektet, beroende på systemval. En känslighetsanalys visar att driftskostnad och livslängd är avgörande faktorer, vilket medför att det är viktigare att satsa på ett robust och säkert system än det billigaste.

The aim of this work is to present an inference and diagnostic study of an extension of the lifetime distribution family proposed by Birnbaum and Saunders (1969a,b). This extension is obtained by considering a skew-elliptical distribution instead of the normal distribution. Specifically, in this work we develop a Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) distribution type based on scale mixtures of skew-normal distributions (SMSN). The resulting family of lifetime distributions represents a robust extension of the usual BS distribution. Based on this family, we reproduce the usual properties of the BS distribution, and present an estimation method based on the EM algorithm. In addition, we present regression models associated with the BS distributions (based on scale mixtures of skew-normal), which are developed as an extension of the sinh-normal distribution (Rieck and Nedelman, 1991). For this model we consider an estimation and diagnostic study for uncensored data.O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um estudo de inferência e diagnóstico em uma extensão da família de distribuições de tempos de vida proposta por Birnbaum e Saunders (1969a,b). Esta extensão é obtida ao considerar uma distribuição skew-elíptica em lugar da distribuição normal. Especificamente, neste trabalho desenvolveremos um tipo de distribuição Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) baseda nas distribuições mistura de escala skew-normal (MESN). Esta família resultante de distribuições de tempos de vida representa uma extensão robusta da distribuição BS usual. Baseado nesta família, vamos reproduzir as propriedades usuais da distribuição BS, e apresentar um método de estimação baseado no algoritmo EM. Além disso, vamos apresentar modelos de regressão associado à distribuições BS (baseada na distribuição mistura de escala skew-normal), que é desenvolvida como uma extensão da distribuição senh-normal (Rieck e Nedelman, 1991), para estes vamos considerar um estudo de estimação e diagnóstisco para dados sem censura.

Helena Pimentel e Rosalía Carrón de La CalleA fitoterapia é considerada uma das práticas mais antigas da medicina da humanidade. O consumo de medicamentos fitoterápicos, bem como de plantas medicinais tem sido estimulado com base no mito “se é natural não faz mal”. A obstipação, a procura de uma forma regular de ir à casa de banho e a perda de peso são os principais motivos pelos quais há abuso do consumo de laxantes. O consumo excessivo destas substâncias tornou-se um problema de Saúde Pública que resultou na dependência e habituação por parte dos consumidores. O sene tornou-se num dos laxantes mais utilizados pelo facto de ser natural e de efeito imediato. É frequente no âmbito da prescrição médica, da indicação farmacêutica, da automedicação e do aconselhamento por parte de amigos e familiares. O estudo pretende conhecer o consumo de laxantes, particularmente de sene pelos utentes de uma farmácia do nordeste transmontano. O estudo realizado comportou uma análise de 340 utentes da Farmácia D´Izeda, dos quais 78,2% eram do sexo feminino e 21,8% do sexo masculino, dentro de uma faixa etária dos 18-92 anos. Estudo de natureza quantitativa, descritivo/correlacional e transversal. A informação foi recolhida através de um inquérito. Recorreu-se a medidas de tendência central para análise das variáveis numéricas e ordinais. Para análise de correlações recorreu-se ao Qui-Quadrado, ao teste exato de Fisher e teste U-Mann-Whitney. A prevalência do consumo de laxantes é de 55,9% e de produtos que contêm sene é de 41,8%. Nos últimos 12 meses 43,2% dos inquiridos assumem ter feito restrição alimentar dos quais 30,3% associaram o uso de laxantes para perder peso. Os inquiridos casados/união de fato são quem mais consume produtos com sene (84,4%), o principal motivo de consumo prende-se com a vontade de perder peso (22,1%), a maioria recorre ao consumo deste produto por iniciativa própria (17,9%) ou por aconselhamento de amigos (9,7%). Dor abdominal e diarreia são os efeitos mais sentidos aquando do consumo (30,9% e 6,2% respetivamente). Observaram-se correlações positivas e estatisticamente significativas entre o consumo de sene e o estado civil, o nº de elementos do agregado familiar, o grupo etário, o consumo de fruta, vegetais e laticínios. O mesmo se observa com a perceção do estado de saúde, perceção da imagem corporal e o consumo de laxantes para perder peso.
Phytotherapy is considered one of the most ancient practices of medicine of humanity. The use of phytotherapeutic and medicinal plants has been stimulated based on the myth “what is natural inherently good or right." Constipation, looking for a regular go to the bathroom and weight loss are the main reasons for abuse in the use of laxatives. Excessive consumption of these substances has become a public health problem that resulted in addiction and habituation by consumers. Senna has become one of the most commonly used laxatives to be a natural laxative effect immediately. Often under medical prescription, pharmaceutical indication, self-medication and advice from friends and family. The study seeks to examine the consumption of laxatives, particularly of senna by users of a pharmacy of the northeast transmontano. The study behaved an analysis of 340 users of Pharmacy D'Izeda, of which 78,2% were female and 21,8% male, within an age range of 18-92 years. This study is an quantitative, descriptive/ correlational and transversal in nature. The information was collected through a survey. Resorted to measures of central tendency for the analysis of numeric and ordinal variables. For correlation analysis we used the chi-square, Fisher's exact test to test and Mann-Whitney-U. The prevalence of consumption of laxatives is 55,9% and products that contain senna in its composition is 41,8%. In the past 12 months 41,8% did food restriction of which 18,2% was associated with laxatives to lose weight. It was found the respondents married/consensual union are who consumes more products that contain senna, the main reason consumer relates to the desire to lose weight (22,1%), the majority refers to consumption of this product on their own initiative (17,9%) or advice from friends (9,7%), abdominal pain and diarrhea are the effects felt most when consumption (30,9% and 6,2% respectively). We observed statistically significant positive correlations between consumption of senna and marital status, number of household members, age group, consumption of fruit, vegetables, and dairy products. The same is observed with the perception of health status, perception of body image and the consumption of laxatives to lose weight.

The subjects about war could be found in the most of the teenage novels. The teenage novels which are based on the background of the World War Two, especially, not only can conform to the Taiwanese emotional perception but also can receive positive responses from Taiwanese people much more easily. After making a comprehesive analysis of the war-related books published in Taiwan, I discover that only Senoh Kappa`s novel, A Boy Called H: A Childhood In Wartime Japan, has the ability to vividly reconstruct the life of the past in an fictionalized autobiography, to earnestly reveal how the author really felt about war, and to truely function as both a witness to history and an inspiration to literature. This research is aimed to observe background of the war times in the novel, A Boy Called H: A Childhood In Wartime Japan. Back then, Japan were enthusiastically putting the militarism and imperialism into practice, started to impose censorship on the press and strictly controlled people`s speech and action. Senoh Kappa discussed absurdity and injustice about the World War Two cleverly through the eyes of a young boy as well as according to his own life experience. Although he did not directly point out the invaders` faults, he still brought up alternative cultural criticism through the process of refreshing his memory for war. As compared with other autobiographical novels, Senoh Kappa redefined the autobiography by telling his own stories based on the memories shared simultaneously with other people in the World War Two. Therefore, Senoh Kappa`s novel, A Boy Called H, is associated with the issues concerning his life as well as the world. In the wartime, the challenges the boy H in the novel received was so difficult. Apart from taking care of interpersonal conflicts, the boy H also had to face fear, selfishness, constraint situations. Meantime, he was in a dilemma of weighing the national and personal intrests or in a struggle between helping people and helping himself. As a result, the novel totally conveys human spiritual confusion and agony. With unlimited creation, tenacity and willpower, the boy H survived the war. Therefore, Readers surely would acquire some wisdom of solving life problems after reading the Senoh Kappa`s novel.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) , also known as cyclin or the auxiliary protein of polymerase δ, is a growth - regulated nuclear protein. One of the rat genomic DNA fragments containing PCNA coding regions has been cloned and partially sequenced. This clone was 14 kb in Iength and contained the full - length of PCNA gane in its 8 kb EcoRI fragment. Sequence analysis of a 1.6 kb fragment which covered the exon 1 and its 5' and 3' flanking regions revealed features and structural motifs which were also found in the respective areas of human and mouse PCNA genes. Among these, absence of TATA box and the presence of several SPI sites were noted, a typical characteristic of many house - keeping genes. A preliminary test of promoter activity for the 1.6 kb fragment has been conducted. The transient expression of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase in CHO - K1 cells transfected with the concerned DNA was used to measure the strength of the promoter. The positive results of this test were in consistency with the presumption that 1.6 kb fragment contained the putative promoter of the rat PCNA gene.

Tese de mestrado, Medicamentos à Base de Plantas, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Farmácia, 2012Atualmente devido ao aumento das taxas de obesidade observadas em todo o mundo e, consequentemente em Portugal e do impacto clínico e social sentido por cada indivíduo por deter um índice de massa corporal elevado, não é de estranhar o incremento do uso de produtos de saúde à base de plantas, quer como medicamentos tradicionais à base de plantas quer como suplementos alimentares, em regimes dietéticos conducentes à perda de peso. Alguns destes produtos de saúde são misturas complexas constituídas por diferentes fármacos vegetais dotados, entre outras, de atividade diurética e/ou laxativa, e sendo sene, folha e/ou sene da Índia, fruto e sene de Alexandria fruto, dos fármacos laxativos mais comumente utilizados. Os problemas de qualidade e segurança da utilização deste tipo de produtos de saúde à base de plantas são uma realidade a que não é alheio o facto da maioria destes continuar a ser comercializada em Portugal sem autorização de introdução no mercado por parte do INFARMED - Autoridade Nacional do Medicamento e Produtos de Saúde, I. P.. Entre os problemas descritos citase a título de exemplo, a introdução ilícita de fármacos de síntese, usados como ansiolíticos, sedativos ou hipnóticos, antidepressivos, diuréticos ou como estimulantes inespecíficos do Sistema Nervoso Central. Com a realização do presente estudo, pretendeu-se avaliar a qualidade dos oito produtos de saúde à base de sene, folha e/ou sene da Índia, fruto e/ou sene de Alexandria fruto, mais comumente comercializados na região de Lisboa. Para o efeito, foram usadas as monografias constante na Farmacopeia Portuguesa 9, relativas a estes fármacos, e que incluem ensaios de identificação botânica e química, ensaios de pureza, doseamento e ensaios farmacotécnicos. Procurou-se também avaliar a qualidade da informação disponibilizada nos rótulos dos produtos, de acordo com legislação atual. Este trabalho apresenta ainda um estudo de pesquisa de fármacos adulterantes por cromatografia em camada fina. Foi ainda desenvolvido e validado um método de Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Pressão para o doseamento do senósido A e do senósido B, adaptado às diferentes amostras em análise. Os resultados dos ensaios de Identificação botânica e química mostraram a existência de sene, folha e/ou sene da Índia, fruto e/ou sene de Alexandria fruto em todas as amostras (100%), apresentando no entanto 75% destas amostras erros de rotulagem. Verificou-se ainda que 25% das amostras continham matéria estranha, tendo 12,5% das amostras um valor de cinzas totais e 25% das amostras apresentaram um valor de cinzas insolúveis (em ácido clorídrico) superior ao valor limite. A totalidade das amostras mostrou concentrações totais de derivados di-hidroxiantracénicos expressos em senósido B, abaixo do teor mínimo permitido (entre 0,23% e 2,32%). Os resultados farmacotécnicos mostraram não estar, 2 amostras, em concordância com o ensaio de uniformidade de massa. 27,7% dos produtos analisados estavam adulterados com fenolftaleína e diazepam. Em conclusão, a totalidade dos produtos analisados mostrou não estar em conformidade com as especificações de qualidade exigíveis para estes, enquanto produtos de saúde à base de plantas.

Trabalho Final de Mestrado Integrado, Ciências Farmacêuticas, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Farmácia, 2014Este trabalho tem como objetivo dar a conhecer as alternativas presentes no mercado no que respeita à obstipação e diarreia, bem como a importância do papel do Farmacêutico no conhecimento e aconselhamento destes suplementos alimentares. Os Suplementos Alimentares são produtos químicos ou naturais, de composição simples ou composta, destinados a complementar a dieta alimentar normal, tendo como objetivo colmatar determinada falha ou melhorar alguma condição. Estes são compostos por diversas substâncias e devem ser tomados com precaução pois, ao serem administrados, podem, como os medicamentos, causar efeitos adversos, ter contraindicações e apresentar interações com alimentos ou com outros medicamentos. Com o presente trabalho, através de revisão bibliográfica, pode-se constatar que, na verdade, é fundamental ter um cuidado particular com estes produtos, e consciencializar os utentes que os suplementos alimentares não são inócuos e que devem ser administrados de forma consciente e com acompanhamento profissional. Neste sentido, o Farmacêutico desempenha um papel muito importante no aconselhamento sobre este tipo de produtos, dada a variedade existente no mercado, que necessita de ser filtrada por um profissional de saúde.
