Abstract:

Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death in the western world. Time is critical when treating patients with myocardial infarction. The major problem is that many patients who are symptomatic wait too long before seeking medical attention, and some patients have no symptoms at all. In order to improve patient outcome there needs to be a better way to diagnose myocardial infarction. One solution is the continuous monitoring of the ST-Segment of the intrinsic ventricular beat morphology, called the QRS complex. There have been many studies that show that there are detectable shifts of the ST-Segment during coronary occlusion. These shifts can be detected by implanted cardiac leads, like those used with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). The St. Jude Medical algorithm called ST Monitoring was designed to continuously monitor the ST-Segments and detect when there has been a significant shift. This thesis describes the implementation of the St. Jude Medical ST Monitoring algorithm on the St. Jude Medical Unity ICD platform. The process involved working on the requirements, design, implementation, and tests in order to verify the algorithm. The project was successfully completed and received FDA approval for an IDE study in the US and CE Marking in Europe. The data collected from the patients in the IDE will give confidence that the algorithm can successfully identify ST-Segment shifts that lead to myocardial infarction. If this is shown then the ST Monitoring algorithm can be used to reliably notify patients that they are having a significant cardiac event and need to seek medical attention immediately.

Abstract:

Le phénomène de concurrence internationale auquel les entreprises font face aujourd'hui les pousse à optimiser leur gestion d'information. Les systèmes de gestion intégrée, soit les systèmes ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), permettent ainsi aux entreprises d'optimiser leur gestion d'information en intégrant une grande quantité d'information en temps réel selon une structure d'affaire complexe. Actuellement, une panoplie de systèmes ERP sont disponibles et plusieurs éditeurs se livrent concurrence pour offrir un progiciel toujours plus performant. Afin de se tailler une place parmi la concurrence, il est donc important pour les éditeurs de bien comprendre la dynamique de diffusion des systèmes ERP au sein des différents réseaux industriels. Malgré le fait que la théorie de la diffusion couvre depuis longtemps ces comportements de propagation par réseautage dans le segment des innovations logicielles, aucun modèle ne quantifie, ni ne décrit de façon dynamique par l'entremise de la simulation ce type phénomène. En réponse à cette problématique, le présent mémoire propose un modèle de propagation de progiciels de gestion intégrée au sein de réseaux d'affaires, en tenant compte des caractéristiques du réseau et de l'influence de la publicité dans son ensemble. Le modèle proposé dans ce mémoire est basé sur un modèle à influence mixte. Il utilise la modélisation par événements discrets. Le modèle présenté nous a permis de décrire la diffusion de systèmes ERP sous un angle épidémiologique, en plus de suivre le développement à chaque période de l'évolution du phénomène de diffusion, et ce, pour chacune des entreprises du réseau. Il ne s'agit là que d'une base à la modélisation de ce type de phénomène, limité à rexploration du sujet par la structure du réseau et certaines caractéristiques principales de bases. L'étude se limite également à la propagation de systèmes ERP par adoption complète d'une solution et, par conséquent, ne tient pas compte des adoptions partielles de multiples systèmes ERP

Abstract:

L'apparition de nouvelles technologies de numérisation 3D permet le passage de l'anthropométrie traditionnelle à l'anthropométrie 3D. Ce domaine offre de multiples avenues, tel que la conception de vêtements ou d'habitacles de voiture. Avant de pouvoir procéder à une quelconque conception, il faut d'abord trouver une bonne méthode pour modéliser les nuages de points obtenus par les numériseurs 3D. Le projet actuel propose une variante d'une méthode de modélisation utilisant une surface devant prendre la forme du nuage de points. L'approche utilisée permet également d'effectuer adéquatement le remplissage des trous générés par les occlusions du faisceau de lumière projeté par le numériseur. Deux traitements sont effectués avant l'optimisation afin de faciliter le traitement de l'algorithme de modélisation. Il s'agit d'un alignement des centres de gravité et des systèmes d'axes et d'une normalisation de la hauteur des modèles tout en conservant les diverses proportions des modèles. L'algorithme utilise un modèle infographique ressemblant à un être humain et procède à l'optimisation de ses sommets pour les faire coïncider avec ceux du modèle numérisé. Les endroits où sont les trous ou les zones pauvres en données sont indiqués à l'algorithme et celui-ci utilise alors la zone correspondante de la surface du modèle infographique pour boucher les trous ou palier au manque de données. Les résultats obtenus permettent de montrer que l'algorithme de modélisation surfacique offre de très bonnes performances en un temps assez restreint. Certaines difficultés ont toutefois été rencontrées dans l'application des algorithmes d'alignement et de normalisation. Il a été possible de montrer que même si les marqueurs sont nécessaires, une normalisation de la hauteur des modèles améliore de beaucoup les résultats. Finalement une analyse en composantes principales a été effectuée sur un ensemble de modèles et a permis de déterminer pour des modèles non normalisés que les premiers modes de variation sont la taille et le poids. Par la suite, d'autres variations de la forme apparaissent ainsi que ceux touchant à la posture. Pour des modèles normalisés, la variation de poids, de musculature, de hauteur de l'entrejambe sont observés, mais également la variation de la position des modèles.

Abstract:

Afin de produire des moteurs plus efficaces, les fabricants de turbomachines ajoutent des étages de compresseur à leurs nouveaux moteurs et les départements de fabrication de ceuxci doivent augmenter leur producfivité tout en diminuant leurs coûts. L'ajout de ces étages de compresseur cause l'augmentation des pressions et des températures de ces composantes moteurs. Pour contrer ce problème, les départements d'ingénierie utilisent alors des alliages à haute résistance thennique pour leur fabrication, soit des alliages de nickel. Toutefois, ces alliages sont très difficiles à mettre en fonne par des procédés d'usinage conventionnels. Ainsi, afin d'usiner efficacement ces alliages, les procédés de recfification tel que le Conlinuous Dress Creep Feed (CDCF), ont toujours été le choix logique. Cependant, la productivité de ces procédés est principalement limitée par les marques de brûlure qui apparaissent sur les surfaces usinées lors de coupes trop agressives. Une solution simple à ce problème consiste à améliorer la concepfion des buses pour liquide de refroidissement (coolant) existantes afin qu'elles produisent un jet plus cohérent. Ce projet de recherche propose donc une méthode qui pennct de prédire la cohérence du jet de fluide produit par une buse. De plus, il pennet d'opfimiser le design de la buse afin qu'elle produise un jet plus cohérent et tout cela à l'aide d'un logiciel commercial de CFD, c'est-àdire FLUENT 6.3. Ainsi, la méthode proposée se base sur l'évolution du profil de vitesse fourni par FLUENT pour une buse de type Webster et sur les mesures expérimentales de cohérence du jet afin d'élaborer un modèle semi-empirique qui pennet de faire le lien entre ces deux résultats. En effet, pour une buse donnée, il est possible de prédire précisément l'ouverture physique du jet que celle-ci produira en ufilisant l'ouverture du profil de vitesse fourni par FLUENT et le modèle semi-empirique développé dans cette recherche. Ensuite, à l'aide de FLUENT, il a été possible de simuler l'écoulement de fluide à l'intérieur d'une buse et d'identifier les zones de cavitation qui s'y trouvent afin de les diminuer en modifiant la géométrie inténeure. Ainsi, ce nouveau concept de buse pennet de produire un jet plus cohérent que celui produit par une buse de type Webster. D'ailleurs, ceci a été vérifié à l'aide du modèle semi-empirique en plus d'être validée lors d'essais expérimentaux. Des essais de coupes ont finalement été réalisés afin de comparer la buse « Webster » au nouveau concept de buse proposée. Les résultats obtenus démontrent que le nouveau concept permet d'augmenter la durée de vie de la meule de plus de 15% tout en diminuant légèrement l'énergie nécessaire à la coupe et cela en conservant un fini de surface similaire. Finalement, une étude comparafive entre FLUENT et l'équafion de Bemoulli utilisée pour la prédicfion de la vitesse moyenne à la sortie d'une buse est réalisée. Cette comparaison a permis de vérifier que l'omission de la turbulence et de la cavitation présentes dans l'écoulement influence grandement la vitesse moyenne à la sortie de la buse.

Abstract:

Les gestionnaires de données de produit assurent la bonne administration de l'ensemble des fichiers générés pour la description et la fabrication d'un produit. Parmi ces fichiers, on retrouve les modèles de CAO, contenant une représentation géométrique du produit, mais également une foule d'informations y étant associées. Comme le modeleur CAO permet la modification rapide des concepts établis, des familles entières de produits peuvent être créées. L'évolution en révisions des modèles CAO est si rapide que l'on peut facilement perdre de vue les différences qui distinguent ces révisions. Ce projet d'application présente un outil de comparaison de modèles géométriques basé sur l'analyse des arbres de modélisation qui définissent les produits, sous leur représentation par historique (arbre CSG). Dans un ordre de grandeur de la minute, le comparateur extrait systématiquement toutes les nuances géométriques qui distinguent les deux modèles. C'est en analysant les paramètres qui définissent les volumes primitifs de l'arbre de modélisation, ainsi que sa structure, que le comparateur discerne les données différentes. Il en résulte un rapport de comparaison identifiant les primitives altérées ou isolées, ainsi qu'une coloration de ces primitives, autant dans la représentation solide du modèle que dans son arbre de modélisation. Des essais ont été réalisés avec des pièces de conception simple, mais aussi à l'aide de composants de type aéronautique fournis par une multinationale (Bombardier). Ces essais ont révélé des opportunités de poursuite des travaux, en particulier sur l'optimisation temporelle des algorithmes de comparaison utilisés et l'enrichissement de la description des différences extraites dans le contexte d'une évolution de modèle. Il n'en demeure pas moins que le comparateur de modèles décèle toutes les modifications présentes entre deux révisions d'un modèle. Il trouve alors sa raison d'être parmi les systèmes de gestion de données techniques, dans un secteur non couvert par les gestionnaires de données de produits, c'est à dire la gestion de l'évolution d'un modèle CAO par l'analyse de données contenues à l'intérieur des fichiers des différentes révisions du modèle.

Abstract:

This project is a site specific based exploration into the boundaries between the domestic home and the navigation of the anxious corporeal body which dwells in the space. These connections open up ways of mapping anxiety brought on through intrusive thoughts surrounding contamination (in relation to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). The corporal navigation of the domestic is fuelled by the thoughts and their control over the notions of fear and anxiety surrounding the transferring of contaminated material from the external temporal world (dust and organic matter) into the internal sterile environment through movement or fissures in the fabric of the dwelling. The project explores the notions of the domestic space being formed into a container for the intrusive thoughts through physical acts of decontaminating, containment, sealing and expelling the elements of dirt; the body and the home become a hybrid entity alluding to the extreme control which forms and takes over the domestic space.

Abstract:

This project aims to create a new, pleasant and lively public space in St. Clara churchyard in the heart of Stockholm. It seems despite of crucial location and unique atmosphere that the church has, the churchyard is not properly used. Therefore, through a consensus approach, public opinions about the project were obtained. According to these opinions and by the help of theoretical resources, new interventions were proposed. Despite of high percentage of negative opinions against the project before beginning of the project, high percentage of responders showed their satisfaction about the project at the end.

Abstract:

In the present thesis, we attempt to explicate St. Thomas's understanding of prudence an all-important virtue. In the introduction, we demonstrate how prudence is an exigency of man's rational nature, showing that without it man is incapable of acting according to reason and attaining his end. Within our analysis, we identify the major influences on St. Thomas's conception of prudence, in descending order of importance, as: Aristotle, St. Albert the Great, Philip the Chancellor, and William of Auxerre and provide a commentary on the specific contribution of each of these authors. In the second section, we attempt to summarize the contemporary context of the debate on prudence. We look briefly at the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, Josef Pieper, and Gilbert Meilaender. As well, we point out that with the recent publication of Daniel Nelson's book, The Priority of Prudence, new life has been injected into the present debate on St. Thomas's understanding of the relation between prudence and the natural law. In the third and final section, we outline in detail St. Thomas's actual conception of the nature and exercise of the virtue of prudence. In this regard, we show that St. Thomas considers prudence a good operative habit of the practical intellect. We remark how St. Thomas views the three principal acts of prudence as: deliberation, practical judgment, and command, with this last being the proper act of the virtue. Finally, in our concluding paragraphs, we return to the issues raised by the Nelson book mentioned above and propose our thesis in this regard. This is, simply, that although Nelson is perhaps wrong to portray the 'natural law tradition' surrounding Aquinas as so rigidly deductivist, he is right to emphasize that St. Thomas's ethical theory is fundamentally virtue and prudence-based and not natural law-based.

A espécie vegetal Lafoensia pacari A. St.-Hil., família Lythraceae, é uma planta medicinal muito utilizada nos estados de Goiás, Mato Grosso e Mato Grosso do Sul, sendo popularmente conhecida como pacari ou mangaba-brava. Dentre os vários propósitos medicinais desta planta, encontra-se o uso popular ?contra o desânimo?. Portanto, o nosso objetivo foi realizar o estudo fitoquímico do extrato bruto e frações obtidas biomonitorados pela atividade tipo antidepressiva. A análise fitoquímica apontou a presença de saponinas, taninos, esteroides, triterpenos e traços de flavonoides no extrato etanólico das cascas do caule de L. pacari (EEP) e na fração clorofórmica (FClor), a que melhor mimetizou o efeito do extrato bruto, são encontrados principalmente esteroides e triterpenos. Análises de RMN 13C, HMQC e CLAE-DAD da fração clorofórmica, permitiram identificar o esteroide ß-sitosterol e o triterpeno lupeol entre os principais constituintes desta fração. O pré-tratamento com EEP (100, 300 e 1000 mg/kg, v.o.) no teste do nado forçado (NF) sugere um efeito do tipo antidepressivo sem alteração na deambulação no campo aberto (CA). Após o fracionamento, a FClor foi a que melhor reteve a atividade biológica do extrato, sendo a dose de 70 mg/kg a mais efetiva no NF e no teste de suspensão pela cauda. Tanto o pré-tratamento com PCPA (100 mg/kg i.p., durante 4 dias ? inibidor da síntese de serotonina), quanto AMPT (100 mg/kg i.p., 4 h antes ? inibidor da síntese de catecolaminas) bloqueou o efeito da FClor, sugerindo o envolvimento do sistema serotoninérgico e catecolaminérgico na atividade observada. Dentre os compostos isolados, apenas o lupeol (40 mg/kg, v.o.) reduziu o tempo de imobilidade no NF sem alterar a deambulação dos animais no CA e as drogas PCPA e AMPT também bloquearam a atividade deste composto. Ao avaliar a atividade das isoformas MAO-A e MAO-B, na presença de FClor e de lupeol, não foi detectada qualquer inibição enzimática. Quanto à capacidade de aumentar o nível hipocampal do fator neurotrófico derivado do cérebro (BDNF), apenas a FClor se mostrou ativa no protocolo de tratamento estudado. Neste estudo não foi observado aumento na expressão (Western blotting) das proteínas CREB e pCREB, após os tratamentos com a FClor (70 mg/kg), o lupeol (40 mg/kg), o ß-sitosterol (40 mg/kg) e a imipramina (30 mg/kg). Assim, concluímos que o EEP, a fração rica em triterpenos e o triterpeno lupeol apresentaram efeito do tipo antidepressivo envolvendo as monoaminas endógenas, sem inibir diretamente a enzima MAO. Além disso, a FClor aumentou o nível hipocampal de BDNF, sem a participação da via de sinalização mediadapor CREB. Portanto, a L. pacari é uma espécie vegetal promissora na avaliação de fitoconstituintes com atividade antidepressiva.

Abstract : The species Lafoensia pacari A. St.-Hil., Lythraceae Family, is a medicinal plant widely used in the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, popularly known as ?pacari? or ?mangaba-brava?. Among the ethnophamalogycal uses was the use ?to raise the spirits?. Thus, in the present, our aim was to perform the phytochemical study of the crude extract and fractions bio-guided by the antidepressant-like activity. Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of saponins, tannins, steroids, triterpenes and flavonoids traces on the ethanol extract of of L. pacari stem bark (EEP) and in the chloroform fraction (FClor), the one that better mimicked the crude extract effects, are mostly found steroids and triterpenes. 13C NMR, HMQC and HPLC-DAD analysis of chloroform fraction have identified the steroid ß-sitosterol and the triterpene lupeol among the main constituents of this fraction. Pretreatment with EEP (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg, p.o.) before the forced swimming test (NF) suggests an antidepressant-like effect with no change in ambulation in the open field (CA). After fractionation, the FClor was the one that best retained the biological activity of the crude extract and the dose of 70 mg/kg was the most effective in the NF and the tail suspension test. Pretreatment with PCPA (100 mg/kg i.p. for 4 days - a serotonin synthesis inhibitor) as well as AMPT (100 mg/kg i.p. 4 hours prior - a catecholamine synthesis inhibitor) blocked the FClor effect, suggesting the involvement of catecholaminergic and serotonergic system in the observed activity. Among the compounds isolated, only lupeol (40 mg/kg, p.o.) reduced the immobility time in the NF without changing the animal?s activity in CA. PCPA and AMPT also blocked the lupeol activity. In MAO-A and MAO-B isoforms activity assay in the presence of FClor and lupeol, no enzyme inhibition was detected. Regarding the ability to increase the hippocampal level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), only FClor was active in the studied treatment protocol. No increases were seen in CREB and pCREB proteins expression (Western blotting) after treatment with FClor (70 mg/kg), lupeol (40 mg/kg), ß-sitosterol (40 mg/kg) and imipramine (30 mg/kg). We have concluded that the EEP, the triterpenes fraction and lupeol showed an antidepressant-like effect involving endogenous monoamines, without directly inhibiting the MAO enzyme activity. Furthermore, FClor increased hippocampal BDNF levels, without involving of the signaling CREB-mediated pathway. Therefore, L. pacari is a promising plant in the study of phytochemicals with antidepressant activity.

Abstract:

Det är en given utgångspunkt vid utmätning att endast sådan egendom som tillhör gäldenären får tas i anspråk för borgenärernas fordringar. Eftersom det ofta är praktiskt omöjligt för kronofogdemyndigheten att göra en fullständig utredning om vilka tillgångar som ägs av gäldenären, får lös egendom också utmätas i de fall då den p.g.a. presumtionsreglerna i 4 kap. 18-19 §§ utsökningsbalken ska anses tillhöra gäldenären. Enligt dessa lagrum presumeras gäldenären vara ägare till gods som han har i sin besittning om det inte "framgår" att egendomen tillhör annan. Det primära syftet med denna uppsats är att, utifrån de fall i rättspraxis, där HD har prövat betydelsen begreppe "framgå" i 18-19 §§, klargöra vilka krav som ställs på bevisningen för att rekvisitet i fråga ska anses vara uppfyllt. Jag ämnar också klargöra om innebörden av "framgå" är densamma i dessa lagrum samt belysa vilka principiella argument som kan framföras av en borgenär respektive en tredje man i en diskussion om hur högt beviskravet bör ställas i dessa lagrum.

Abstract:

This thesis set out to classify changes in the neighborhood white-black racial composition for St. Louis City and St. Louis County Missouri from 1970 to 2010. Relying solely on decennial census data as accurate depictions of neighborhood change may not be the best solution, mainly due to the inability to capture neighborhoods undergoing transitional stages between decades. To remedy this problem, methodologies were developed and implemented to better depict these transitional stages temporally.

Using the Longitudinal Tract Database (LTDB), census tracts were used to depict St. Louis City and St. Louis County neighborhoods, all while using 2010 tract delineations to allow temporal analysis to occur. All 305 census tracts and their changing white-black racial compositions were individually analyzed, leading to the development of eight different neighborhood typologies: majority white and black enclaves, gradual black and other transition, white flight and delayed white flight, white re-entry, and multi-racial integration neighborhoods.

After testing for spatial autocorrelation, two rounds of K-means cluster analysis were conducted on the rescaled white, black, and other percentage variables from 1970 to 2010 with the use of various spatial weight matrices (i.e., Rook, Queen, and distances of 4, 6, and 8 miles). The resulting clusters were analyzed further to identify the same neighborhood transition typologies that were identified in the pre-spatial statistics approach. The second tier K-means clustering on the spatially rescaled attribute variables produced neighborhood transition typologies that eliminated spatial contiguity issues from the first K-means clustering approach. Results from all K-means clustering analyses were consolidated, producing one final depiction of neighborhood transition typologies for St. Louis City and St. Louis County.

Latent class mixed models were conducted on both white and black groups. The resulting analysis produced six neighborhood transition typologies that were further consolidated into one final depiction of neighborhood transition typologies. The consolidated neighborhood typologies from the K-means clustering analyses and the latent class mixed models both depict similar spatial and temporal patterns of neighborhood transition typologies.

Abstract:

It is well documented that church attendance figures in Great Britain fell consistently throughout the twentieth century and there is little sign of the trend abating at the beginning of the twenty-first century. There are scholars who argue that this decline in traditional religiosity has been accompanied by diverse expressions of alternative spiritualitites. This study explores and maps the contemporary quest for spirituality through an examination of the visitors to St Davids Cathedral in West Wales, the birthplace and home of the patron saint of Wales, St David. Within this context, four aspects of spirituality were investigated, characterised as: Spiritual Awareness, Spiritual Experience, participation in the Spiritual Revolution, and Spiritual Health. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection, employinga questionnaires urvey( which yieldeda round2 700r esponses)in, terviews, and case studies. The analysis of the questionnaire survey explored whether individual differences of sex, age, church attendance and psychological type preferencesa ffect individual spirituality.

Abstract:

A large proportion of the human population, their settlements and socioeconomic activities occur on land directly adjacent to the coastline. The increased demand for coastal leisure and tourism has interfered with natural landscape features and their associated processes. The Cape St Francis/St Francis Bay peninsula located on the southeast coast of South Africa was rapidly developed and transformed from a little fishing village into an urban coastal developed area over a 50-year period (1961-2014). A system that once existed in a state of dynamic or non-equilibrium was interfered with through anthropogenic disturbances, resulting in more frequent and intense natural events, which ranged from floods to debris flows, decreased sand supply and resulting beach erosion. The aim of the project was to identify and map landscape features and changes on the peninsula using an interdisciplinary approach. The triangulated methods of a desktop study using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and media reviews, a crowdsourcing/participatory approach based on interviews, and a one year land surveying period of measurable field based surveys of physical features gave a well balanced view. The research showed that the natural landscape has been altered dramatically by settlement and associated infrastructure development. In particular, the loss of dunefields and the artificial modification of river paths were major impact areas. Beach erosion is a continual issue for the peninsula residents, particularly in St Francis Bay.

Abstract:

The amalagamation of St. Mary's College and St. Joseph's High School, Lismore was a process that began in 1965 when a decision was made to combine Senior classes for the first Higher School Certificate curriculum. There was no thought of amalgamation in 1965 but the decision made then lead to the developments of 1977. Increasing enrolments and the need for a building programme set the scene for a merger of Junior classes and the introduction of coeducation throughout the schools. This process extended from 1977 to 1981. It was a period of conflict and resistance to change but it laid the foundation for the complete amalgamation of the schools to form Trinity Catholic College in 1985. The amalgamation process provides a study of decision-making in a Catholic school context. Changes in the Church, Catholic schools and Religious Orders are reflected in the changes in the way that decisions were made at the three key-points in the story. The study draws attention to the fact that in amalgamations of schools much of the planning is done in terms of the present schools rather than for the new school which is always twice as large and much more complex. The non-educational aspects of amalgamation are also considered because they are a time-consuming but important part of the planning. This study shows the importance of rituals in laying the old schools to rest so that the new school may come into being. A visible indication that things are different is essential when the students, staff and buildings remain as they had been. Since amalgamations are becoming more common as student numbers decline some lessons learned over the past twenty years are recorded so that others may benefit from them.

Abstract:

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone
The study investigates how local-level efforts at sustainability have been implemented in developing countries and Caribbean islands. In order to protect resources and longevity of these regions, communities often adopt sustainable development initiatives with assistance of external support. The goal of this study is to evaluate initiatives taken by similar communities and organizations that have met the needs of ecosystems through sustainable action plans. The combined information gathered in this study will aid St. Croix, USVI in evaluating current practices as well as planning for future actions. The purpose of this research is to develop a case study of local-level sustainable development initiatives for St. Croix, USVI in order to address the needs of community members and environment through evaluations and successful frameworks of similar island communities. Through information collected, an analysis that addresses issues related to improving community for healthier communities via an improved built environment design, will investigate possible forms and systems of successful urban populations. This thesis addresses some of the issues related to improving community design for better civic health outcomes via an improved design and framework policy for the built environment. In order to explore this, the thesis seeks sustainable potentials in urban inner cities and island communities to develop an action plan and design for St. Croix. USVI.

Streptococcus pneumoniae é a principal causa de morbi-mortalidade no mundo. Em Moçambique, os sorotipos 1 e 5 são os mais prevalentes. Este estudo investigou a relação clonal de isolados de pneumococo obtidos de doença invasiva entre o período de 2002-2007, utilizando três procedimentos laboratoriais: Box-PCR, PFGE e MLST. Um total de 105 isolados (sendo 72 do sorotipo 1 e 33 do sorotipo 5), foram submetidos a técnica de Box-PCR. O sorotipo 5 apresentou cinco padrões, sendo um clonal com 20 isolados e quatro padrões não clonais. O padrão A foi o predominante com 61% dos isolados, enquanto que por PFGE, 100% dos isolados foram agrupados em um único clone (clone A), e pela técnica de MLST foi identificado apenas um único ST (ST 289). Por outro lado, o sorotipo 1 apresentou maior diversidade clonal pelos três métodos; por Box-PCR os isolados foram agrupados em 3 clones, sendo predominante o padrão B com 58 isolados, padrão C e N com dois isolados cada. Um total de 12 isolados foram não clonais. O clone B apresentou 20 subtipos, sendo o mais frequente o sub-tipo B1 com 20 amostras idênticas, seguido por B2, B6, B7 com 5 amostras idênticas cada. Por PFGE, 19 amostras confirmaram ser do mesmo perfil clonal (clone B), enquanto que 12 amostras demonstraram ser não clonais. Quando submetidos ao MLST, foram identificados 6 STs; ST 217 (7 isolados), ST 853 (1 isolado), e quatro novos STs, ST 4125, ST 2909, ST 3779 e ST 4166. O ST 217 pertence ao clone Suécia1-27 (ST217), identificados previamente em surtos de meningite na África, enquanto o ST 289 foi identificado como um representante do clone Colômbia5-19 (ST289) que circulam na América Latina desde 1994. A taxa de não susceptibilidade à penicilina foi de 3%, e à cotrimoxazole foi de 39%. A maior taxa de resistência foi encontrada entre os isolados de sorotipo 1. Este trabalho mostra a persistência de dois sorotipos responsáveis por causar doença pneumocócica invasiva graves, bem como seus respectivos clones em uma região do sul de Moçambique.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Mozambique, serotypes 1 and 5 are the most prevalent. This study investigated the clonal relationship of isolates obtained from pneumococcal invasive disease during the period of 2002-2007 using three laboratory procedures: Box-PCR, PFGE and MLST. A total of 105 isolates (72 serotype 1 and 33 serotype 5) were submited to Box-PCR technique. The serotype 5 showed five patterns, one clonal with 20 isolates and four non-clonal patterns. The pattern A, covered 61% of all isolates, whereas by PFGE, 100% of the isolates have been grouped into a single clone (clone A), and by MLST was also identified only one ST (ST 289). In another hand, serotype 1 had higher clonal diversity by the three methods; by Box-PCR isolates have been grouped into three clonal patterns, the pattern B being predominantly (58 isolates), C and N with two isolates each. A total of 12 strains were non-clonal. Clone B showed 20 sub-types, the most common subtype B1 with 20 identical samples, followed by B2, B6, B7 with 5 identical samples each. By PFGE, 19 samples confirmed with the same profile clone (clone B), while 12 samples were non-clonal. By MLST, 6 STs were identified, ST 217 (7 isolates), ST 853 (one isolate) and four new STs, ST 4125, ST 2909, ST 3779 and ST 4166. ST 217 belongs to Sweden1-27 clone (ST217), previously identified in outbreaks of meningitis in Africa, while the ST 289 has been identified as a representative clone Colômbia5-19 clone (ST289) that circulate in Latin America since 1994. The rate of non susceptibility to penicilin was 3%, and 39% to cotrimoxazol. The highest resistance rate was found among serotype 1 isolates. This results shows the persistence of two serotypes responsible for cases of severe invasive pneumococcal disease, as well as their respective clones in a region of southern Mozambique.

Abstract:

En el primer capítol - 1. El liberalisme peculiar de John Stuart Mill - es fa un recorregut per les interpretacions més significatives sobre l'obra de Mill subratllant la consternació i perplexitat que provoca en les files del liberalisme les suposades desviacions d'aquest pensador.

El segon capítol - 2. Reforma i revolució: el paper de la història - està dedicat a l'estudi de la concepció milleana de la història a partir dels estereotips i prejudicis dels seus compatriotes contemporanis. En el capítol es segueix les mostres d'interès de Mill respecte les revolucions a França (XVIII i XIX). Aquestes demostracions es comparen amb les reaccions que les mateixes susciten entre els polítics i intel·lectuals anglesos.

En el tercer capítol -3. Mill: Politeia vs democràcia- s'argumenta la manera com Mill atribueix un paper fonamental a l'interès general en una línia totalment diferent a l'argumentada pels denominats, respectivament, liberalisme polític i liberalisme lliurecanvista (econòmic o de mercat). Mill es situa amb el seu "interès general" en l'àmbit de la tradició moderna republicana iniciada amb les repúbliques renaixentistes italianes, i s'argumentarà que actualitzades a les condicions sociològiques d'una societat industrial. També en aquest capítol, es dóna a conèixer la teoria de la democràcia de Mill anunciant els perills de la "falsa" democràcia representativa basada en el sufragi universal per elecció de majories numèriques com a fórmula per garantir la identificació d'interessos entre els ciutadans i els governants. Aquest apartat tracta, també, dels perills que poden resultar d'una cultura política negativa, la qual prepara l'escenari per a una confrontació ideologista basada en interessos de classe.

En el quart capítol - 4. La llibertat - es busca mostrar les diferencies de Mill respecte els tòpics del liberalisme ideològic emergent en el XIX. S'argumentarà que Mill defensa una teoria de la llibertat en la que la defensa d'igualtat n'és una part fonamental. La vinculació d'aquests dos valors presentats pel liberalisme jeràrquicament, primer la llibertat i després la igualtat, és revisada per Mill a partir de la seva teoria de la diversitat dels individus els quals es construeixen sempre socialment. La llibertat serà entesa a la manera republicana com procés d'alliberament de les constriccions i dominacions exercides des de la pròpia societat.

En el cinquè capítol - 5. Política i autoritat - es du l'argumentació de la interpretació republicana de Mill a l'àmbit de la noció d'autoritat. Es traça aquí el vincle entre la concepció de Maquivel de la virtut cívica que exerceix el lideratge patriòtic envers a una societat cohesionada i participativa amb la de Mill quan reclama la necessitat del lideratge d'una classe del coneixement, cívica, posant èmfasi en la convicció intel·lectual compartida abans mencionada. Aquest capítol serveix per tancar el recorregut iniciat amb la defensa de Mill de la necessitat d'una nova cultura política i el paper protagonista en les circumstàncies dictades per l'època moderna per a un grup social històric dirigent - el "príncep" o la classe del coneixement segons Mill. També, en aquest capítol, s'analitza el concepte de poder i el d'autoritat en Mill ubicant-lo dins de la tradició republicana.

Finalment, en el darrer capítol, - 6. Conclusions -, primer, es defensa la confirmació de les hipòtesis marcades en els objectius generals i construïdes capítol a capítol; segon, es contextualitza el "fracàs" milleà en els esdeveniments polítics històrics i debats ideològics del darrer segle en el marc de la hipòtesi general segons la qual segueix pendent encara avui, a) la progressió d'una nova cultura política de caràcter cívic i constitucionalista i, b) s'afirma la consolidació en termes culturals d'allò que Mill anunciava com la gran amenaça per a la democràcia que és "l'opinió pública".
The departing point of this thesis is to find out why Mill arouses so many suspicions and is subject to so many nuances, not only among traditional socialist thinkers and conservatives in all its variants, but especially among those who come from the liberal currents. The response will be to work on the assumption that Mill was not the representative of the renewal of liberalism in the nineteenth century as it has often been said but a continuator of the republican thought and one of the last political thinkers before the idealogisation of the social and political thought of modernity. In this thesis we will prove that only from this supposition we can re-interpret Mill's democratic theory. From this perspective, it has largely been discussed whether Mill was an elitist, a democratic participacionist, a democrat without convictions, an authoritarian or simply incoherent. Defending this thesis we will state that this discussion today has no more sense. Coherent thinker in the essential aspects of his political theory, it is argued that it is not possible to disassociate his notion of democracy from the historical facts (from the revolution, from the reforms and the social sciences they study) and the theory of culture inherent to his philosophy. Mill had a qualitative and not a quantitative conception of politics. Politics was, for Mill, "politeia" and not "leviathan". And therefore the name of republic thinker acquires in this case a clear democratic ingredient, more than that of a liberal. For Mill the view is that democracy has more to do with the general interest, and from this general interest, with freedom. In this text, we will argue that for Mill no human society can afford to dispense, in whatever degree, of the reflection on the power and realization of it, what we mean by "the exercise of authority", and we will provide reasons to bring out the differences between, on the one hand, the liberal conception of power and authority and, on the other, the concept Mill has of them.
