Detta projekt syftar på att digitaliserasmithmaskin genom att skapa ettsystem för att generera kraft genom en elmotor föratt ersätta fria vikter. Genom att ersättalösa vikter med en elmotor så slipper användaren hanteralösa vikter vilket också underlättarför flera användaren att använda samma träningsmaskin.Det kommer också vara möjligt attspåra användarnas träningsinformation, såsom vikt,antalet set och repetitioner som utförtsunder ett träningspass.I detta projekt användes en motorstyrenhet som heterVESC för att styra en BLDC-motor.Flertalet experiment utfördes för att hitta en metodför att kontrollera vridmomentet. Dettaresulterade till att ett konstant vridmoment med enfelmarginal på 1-1.5 kilogram uppnåddes.Dessutom utvecklades två algoritmer där motståndetvarierar dynamiskt, vilket indikerar attdet är möjligt att i framtiden utveckla systemet föratt individualisera motstånd och därmedförbättra resultatet i träning och rehabilitering.Slutsatsen som kan dras är att detta system kananvändas för att ersätta fria vikter med en elmotor.

Full textThis thesis examines the structure underlying Adam Smith’s work. It attempts to show that its coherence may be discerned as we let ourselves be guided by the idea that some of the author’s methodological principles are drawn from Newton. We wonder about the author’s explicit evocation of gravitation which is assumed to explain the way societies work. For social norms indeed, appear to be revolving round natural laws, just as market prices are, round natural prices or round the value of commodities. There also lies the implicit evocation of a force of attraction governing the destiny of human societies that would in time, tend towards an ideal City. Such a process would then be at the root of the need for the implementation and establishment of a specific institution of justice: the state. And Adam Smith would eventually emphasize the liberalism of liberty and justice

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 125-131).
We present theoretical and experimental results from a Smith-Purcell radiation experiment using the electron beam from a 17 GHz high gradient accelerator. Smith- Purcell radiation occurs when a charged particle travels above a periodic grating structure. The electron beam consists of a train of 15 MeV, 9 pC bunches of bunch lengths varying from 600 fs to 1 ps. The radiated energy for one electron travelling above a periodic grating is solved. The effects of multiple electrons in a bunch and multiple bunches in a train are introduced. The Smith-Purcell resonance condition and the dependence of the radiated energy upon beam current and beam height above the grating are presented. Measurement of the angular distribution of the Smith- Purcell radiation resulted in bunch length measurements of 0.60 ± 0.1 ps and 1 ± 0.1 ps under different accelerator operating conditions. This demonstrates the use of Smith-Purcell radiation as a non-destructive bunch length diagnostic with 100 fs resolution. Smith-Purcell radiation is comparable to other sources of radiation, such as transistion radiation, synchrotron radiation, etc. except that it has an inherent enhancement by a factor of Ng, the number of grating periods. Additional enhancement occurs when the electron bunch length is short compared with the radiation wavelength, resulting in coherent emission with an enhancement by a factor of Ne the number of electrons in the bunch. Finally, the electron beam consists of a regular train of Nb bunches, resulting in an energy density spectrum that is restricted in frequency space to harmonics of the bunch train frequency, with an increase in the energy density at these frequencies by a factor of Nb.
(cont.) We report the first observation of Smith-Purcell radiation displaying all three of these enhancements, that is, with a total enhancement of Ng.Ne.Nb. This total enhancement provides a simple method of generating powerful THz radiation at specific frequencies, which can be detected with a high signal to noise ratio by a heterodyne receiver.

The stingless bees, stingless bees, social, found in tropical and subtropical regions of South and Central America, Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia. In Brazil they are all over the country, especially the North and Northeast Melipona fasciculata Smith (Apidae, Meliponini), popularly known as tiúba, cultivated by indigenous and rural populations for the production of honey, geopropolis and accumulate pollen. This is produced from the natural flower pollen, mixed with nectar and salivary secretions of the bee and popularly used as a nutritional feed and antifungal to treat diseases, colitis, allergic reactions. The study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial and pollen of hydroalcoholic extracts of pollen collected by Melipona fasciculata Smith bee. The pollen samples (09) were collected in meliponários in the states of Pará and Maranhão, Brazil, which were separately macerated with 70% ethyl alcohol for 48 hours obtaining extractive solutions, which were filtered and concentrated in a rotary evaporator, obtaining If the pollen hydroalcoholic extracts (EHP). The extracts were evaluated in vitro antioxidant activity by methods DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhidrazila) and FRAP (reduced iron), quantification of the total flavonoid content (aluminum chloride) and total polyphenols (Folin-Ciocalteu reagent) measured by UV-Vis and evaluation of the in vitro antimicrobial activity by agar diffusion method. Pollens were extracted and subjected to acetolysis for palynological studies. The chemical components of the extract were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC / MS) and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC / MS / MS). The EHP showed EC50 values between 70.73 -398.74 mg / ml and 0.09 ± 0.06% - 1.26 ± 0.13 mmol Fe 2+ / g extract, total polyphenolic content varied between 5, 4 ± 0.01 -14.66 ± 0.04 and 0.59 ± 0.003 -1.10 ± 0.01 for the total flavonoid content. The chemical constituents of pollen extracts identified by GC / MS showed the predominant fatty acids, amino acids, phenolic acids and sugars such as classes of chemical compounds present in the extracts analyzed. The analysis of extracts by LC / MS / MS, it was possible to identify the flavonoids kaempferol, isohamenetina, afzelin, quercetrin, cirsiliol, derivatives cirsiliol, tilirosídeo, gluconic acid, glucitol, quercetrin, isohamenetina-3-O-rutinoside, hydroxyssaffor yellow, besides gluconic acid and glucitol. The EHP 09 (pollen collected in the state of Pará) was the most active against Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Streptococcus mutans. The content of flavonoids and phenolic compounds, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity vary according to the types of pollen grains observed in pollen evaluation. The data contribute to chemical and biological parameters of identity fixing and quality of accumulated pollen by Melipona fasciculata grown in municipos Palmeirândia, Fernando Falcao in the state of Maranhão and Pará as subsidies for future legislation stingless bee products, and also contribute to aggregate values to meliponícolas products.
Os meliponíneos, abelhas sem ferrão, sociais, encontradas em regiões tropicais e subtropicais da América do Sul e Central, África, Sudeste da Ásia e Austrália. No Brasil estão em todo o país, destacando-se as regiões Norte e Nordeste Melipona fasciculata Smith (Apidae, Meliponini), popularmente conhecida por tiúba, cultivada por populações indígenas e rurais para a produção de mel, geoprópolis e por acumular pólen. Este é produzido a partir do pólen floral, misturado com néctar e secreções salivares da abelha e usado popularmente como alimento nutricional e para tratar doenças antifúngicas, colites, reações alérgicas. O trabalho objetivou avaliar a composição química, atividade antioxidante, antimicrobiana e palinológica dos extratos hidroalcoólicos do pólen coletado pela abelha Melipona fasciculata Smith. As amostras de pólen (09) foram coletadas em meliponários nos estados do Pará e Maranhão, Brasil, as quais foram separadamente maceradas com álcool etílico 70% por 48 horas, obtendo as soluções extrativas, as quais foram filtradas e concentradas em evaporador rotativo, obtendo-se os extratos hidroalcoólicos de pólen (EHP). Nos extratos foram avaliados atividade antioxidante in vitro pelos métodos DPPH (2,2-difenil-1-picrilhidrazila) e FRAP (redução de ferro), quantificação dos teores de flavonoides totais (cloreto de aluminio) e polifenóis totais (reagente Folin−Ciocalteu) medidos por espectrofotometria de UV-Vis e avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana in vitro pelo método de difusão em agar. Os pólens foram extraídos e submetidos à acetólise para os estudos palinológicos. Os componentes químicos dos extratos foram identificados por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrometria de massas (CG/EM) e cromatografia liquida acoplada com espectrometria de massas (LC/EM/EM). Os EHP apresentaram valores de CE50 entre 70,73 -398,74 µg/mL e de 0,09 ± 0,06% - 1,26 ± 0,13 mmol Fe2+/g extrato, os teores de polifenólicos totais variaram entre 5,4 ± 0,01 -14,66 ± 0,04 e de 0,59 ± 0,003 -1,10 ± 0,01 para os teores de flavonoides totais. Os constituintes químicos dos extratos de pólen identificados por CG/EM evidenciaram a predominância de ácidos graxos, aminoácidos, ácidos fenólicos e açucares como as classes de compostos químicos presentes nos extratos analisados. Já a análise dos extratos por LC/EM/EM, foi possível a identificação dos flavonoides canferol, isohamenetina, afzelina, quercetrina, cirsiliol, derivados de cirsiliol, tilirosídeo, ácido glucônico, glucitol, quercetrina, isohamenetina-3-O-rutinosídeo, hydroxyssaffor yellow, além do ácido glucônico e glucitol. O EHP 09 (pólen coletado no estado do Pará) foi o mais ativo contra Candida albicans, Candida glabrata e Streptoccus mutans. Os teores de compostos fenólicos e flavonoides, atividade antioxidante e antimicrobiana variam de acordo com os tipos polínicos verificados na avaliação palinológica. Os dados contribuem com parâmetros químicos e biológicos de fixação de identidade e qualidade do pólen acumulado por Melipona fasciculata cultivada nos municipos Palmeirândia, Fernando Falcão no estado do Maranhão e Pará como subsídios para futura legislação de produtos de abelhas sem ferrão, assim contribuem ainda para agregar valores aos produtos meliponícolas.

Full textIn The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Adam Smith establishes a pluralist scheme to explain moral approbation, with four kinds of moral judgments: 1) regarding the motives of the agent, the judgment determines its propriety or impropriety; 2) regarding the immediate effects of the action, the judgement determines its merit or demerit; 3) analyzing if this act is a particular case of a general rule, the judgement determines if the agent has acted according to his duty; and 4) regarding the remote effects of the action, that is, the way this action is a part of the global operations of society (a judgement that Smith calls the appearance of utility). These four kinds of moral judgments are grounded in imagination and form the totality of the principle of approbation that structure the speculative part of his moral philosophy

The late John Edwin Smith was an influential teacher of philosophy, especially philosophy of religion, at Yale University. His own writings are understudied, however, and this dissertation provides a full-scale analysis, situating John E. Smith in what he took to be the central problem in philosophy of religion, namely an inadequate theory of experience. Smith developed his own theory of experience, including religious experience, through a radical rereading of the American pragmatists (Charles Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and Josiah Royce), attending to their interests in religion. Chapter 1 provides a biographical history of Smith's life. Then it traces his efforts to expand the parameters of the American Philosophical Association, to recognize non-analytic schools and their interests, such as pragmatism. Chapter 2 examines Smith's critical reading of classical American pragmatism in contrast to more popular readings by Richard Rorty and the Columbia school. Chapter 3 examines Smith's theory of experience as radically interpreted experience. Chapter 4 describes Smith's alternative philosophy of religion developed from his particular reading of pragmatism. Chapter 5 attempts to apply Smith's philosophy of religion to the field of theology. It asserts that Smith's philosophy provides a means to reinterpret classical Christian doctrine, such as the doctrine of God, Christology, ecclesiology, and the nature and role of doctrine, in a way that it is both intelligible to a contemporary audience, and faithful to the tradition's inherited theological claims. Chapter 6 compares the nature of a religious community with other communities according to Smith's theory. It also describes how the 'religious community' should attempt to balance the authority of traditional doctrine with non-religious sources of knowledge.

O presente trabalho tem como proposta explicitar a concepção da natureza humana no pensamento de Adam Smith, isto é, buscar um entendimento da antropologia filosófica no pensamento do filósofo e economista moderno. Desse modo, será incorporado à discussão as principais obras do autor: The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Essays on Philosophical Subjects, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Lectures on Jurisprudence e Lectures on Rethoric and Belles Lettres, para aprofundar a tentativa de resposta do sistema moral de Smith. Entretanto, destacamos a primeira obra, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, por entendermos que esta obra estabelece os principais pressupostos da Filosofia Moderna que se aproximam do entendimento da antropologia filosófica, e também, por situar a discussão no cenário da "crise moral" dos séculos XVI e XVII. Outra ressalva a fazer sobre a discussão compreende a leitura que entendemos do método adotado por Smith, que se vale pela visão de sistema filosófico do homem e sociedade de mercado. Por isso, momentaneamente será abordado o tema com elementos que dialogam com outras obras do pensador. Em outras palavras, entendemos que as relações que imantam a escola filosófica escocesa do "senso moral", isto é, as condições que são sinalizadas para a natureza humana sobre os sentimentos morais, são proposições de um sistema filosófico moderno que se apresentam, mais adiante, como ciência social e econômica. Para tanto, o alcance que se busca neste trabalho compreende responder a seguinte questão: qual é o lugar no pensamento de Smith para a Antropologia Filosófica? Neste sentido, o método a ser adotado no estudo compreende analisar os pressupostos do sistema moral do pensador, à luz do tempo lógico e temporal do que pode-se nomear de "crise moderna moral". O estudo ainda sinaliza que a relação de intersubjetividade existente na ordem social e econômica estão expressos pelos sentimentos simpáticos - sentir com - que são sugeridos como resposta pelo autor para a nova ordem social e econômica moderna, e, ao meu entender, está situada no solo das regras gerais da moral. Diante deste contexto, nos faz considerar que a simpatia é explicitada como causa (conveniência social e econômica) e como efeito (aprovação e desaprovação moral).
The present work has the proposal of explaining the conception of the human nature according to the thought of Adam Smith, that is, to seek an understanding of the philosophical anthropology in the thinking of a modern philosopher and economist. In this way, the discussion will be incorporated with the main works of the author: The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Essays on Philosophical Subjects, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Lectures on Jurisprudence and Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Letters, to deepen the answering attempts of the moral system of Smith. However, we emphasize the first work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, for we understand that this work establishes the major assumptions of the Modern Philosophy that approach the understanding of the philosophical anthropology, and also, by situating the discussion into the scenario of the “moral crisis” that took place during the centuries of XVII and XVIII. Another observation to make on the discussion comprises the interpretation that we understand from the method adopted by Smith, who goes by the vision of man’s philosophical system and market society. So, for a moment, the theme will be addressed with elements that dialogue with other works of the thinker. In other words, we understand that the relations that magnetize the Scottish philosophical school of the “moral sense”, i.e., the conditions that are signaled to the human nature about the moral sentiments, are all propositions of a modern philosophical system that are presented, later, as social and economic science. For such, the reach searched in this work intends to answer the following question: what is the place in the thinking of Smith for the Philosophical Anthropology? In this sense, the method to be adopted in the study intends to examine the assumptions of the moral system of the thinker, in the light of the logical and temporal time of what can be called as “modern moral crisis”. The study still signs that the existing inter-subjectivity relation in the social and economic order is expressed by the sympathetic feelings – to feel with – that are suggested as an answer by the author to the new modern social and economic order and, to my understanding, is situated on the ground of the general rules of moral. With this said, we consider that sympathy is explicated as cause (social and economic convenience) and as effect (moral approval and disapproval).
